Football historian LEIGH EDWARDS profiles every Arsenal player from 60 post-war League seasons.
Swiss international central defender Johan Djourou is a current member of Arsenal's squad. Signing professional for the Gunners in August 2004, he made his first-team debut in the 2-1 Carling Cup third round victory at Manchester City two months later. Injuries to Sol Campbell and Pascal Cygan along with Kolo Toure's absence at the African Cup of Nations saw him make his Premiership debut in the 7-0 win over Middlesbrough in January 2006. Also featuring in the 2005/06 Carling Cup run, he played for Switzerland in the 2006 World Cup and has now made 12 Premiership appearances for Arsenal.
Scotland international wing-half Tommy Docherty gained the last three of his 25 caps while at Arsenal. Initially with Celtic, he joined Preston in 1949 and won the Second Division title in 1950/51. He moved to Arsenal for £28,000 in August 1958 and scored once in 83 First Division games before becoming Chelsea's player-coach in February 1961. Appointed manager seven months later, he also had spells in charge of Rotherham, QPR, Aston Villa, Porto, Scotland, Manchester United, Derby, Preston and Wolves. He is now an after-dinner speaker and is featured on pages 56 and 57 of today's programme.

Subsequently coach at Millwall, he managed QPR, Fulham, Northampton Town (twice), Brentford and Woking, then was Brighton's chief scout. He died in June 2000.
Inside-forward George Drury played for Arsenal either side of the Second World War. He impressed with Heanor prior to joining Sheffield Wednesday in September 1934 and moved to Highbury for £7,000 in March 1938. Helping Arsenal clinch the League Championship that season, he was a wartime guest for several clubs and briefly appeared at the start of the 1946/47 campaign. He netted three goals in 38 First Division games overall before moving to West Brom in October 1946, then played for Watford, Linby Colliery, Darlaston and South Normanton. Settling back in his native Hucknall, he died in June 1972.
England international inside-forward George Eastham was capped 19 times while at Arsenal.

He played for his country in the 2006 World Cup and has now made 26 Premiership appearances.
Brazilian international midfielder Edu starred in Arsenal's record-breaking 2003/04 Premiership title triumph. He impressed with Corinthians before following Gilberto to Arsenal in January 2001 and made his Premiership debut in that month's 0-0 draw at Leicester City. Featuring in the Gunners' 2001/02 'double' success when he became the first Brazilian to gain an FA Cup winner's medal, he scored in Arsenal's 2-0 FA Cup fifth round win at Manchester United the following season. He netted seven goals in 79 Premiership games and helped win the FA Cup again shortly before joining Valencia in July 2005.
Long-serving left-back Dennis Evans was ever-present for Arsenal in 1955/56. A former Wolves amateur, he played for Ellesmere Port before moving to Highbury for £1,500 in January 1951. He made his League debut in Arsenal's 0-0 draw at home to Huddersfield in August 1953 and represented London in the 1957 Fairs Cup. Helping the Gunners finish third in the top-flight in 1958/59, he netted ten goals in 189 First Division games until a broken ankle ended his career in May 1963.

Versatile wing-half Mike Everitt was a young member of George Swindin's squad at Arsenal. Signing professional at Highbury in February 1958, his solitary goal in nine First Division games clinched the Gunners' 1-0 victory at home to Preston in August 1960 and he reunited with Dave Bowen at Northampton Town for £4,000 in February 1961. He starred in their rise to the top-flight and moved to Plymouth Argyle in March 1967, then played for Brighton before managing Wimbledon and Brentford. Later coaching Leicester City as well as teams in Kuwait, Egypt and Morocco, he now lives in Colby, Isle of Man.
Spanish international midfielder Cesc Fabregas was the only Arsenal player to feature in every Champions League match last season.

Awarded the BEM for wartime service in the Royal Artillery, he helped twice win the London Combination and made 19 First Division appearances as Leslie Compton's understudy until knee injuries ended his playing career in September 1952. Later trainer-coach of Arsenal's junior teams, he served the club over 47 years before retiring in November 1983. He lives in Plaistow.
Versatile French U-21 midfielder Mathieu Flamini made a significant contribution as Arsenal reached the 2006 Champions League final. He impressed with Marseilles before moving to Highbury in August 2004 and made his Premiership debut as Arsenal began their title defence with a 4-1 win at Everton. Regularly featuring as a substitute, he started his first Premiership match in the 2-2 draw at home to Chelsea in December 2004 and scored his first goal in Arsenal's 7-0 annihilation of Everton. He deputised for Ashley Cole at left-back last season until injured in the Champions League semi-final second-leg against Villarreal.

Henckels or Wusthof?
I am looking to get a new Chef knife, but am unsure which kind to get. I've heard that both Henckels and Wusthof are good knives, but I'm unsure as far as how long they stay sharp, ect. Any advide would be much appreciated.
Thanks much-

Re: Henckels or Wusthof?
Knives knives knives! Every week someone asks the same question so have a look through the posts in this section to see what evryone else thinks! Some swear by Victorinox which are nice and cheap but good quality, some others like me have some expensive Wusthof's and some prefer Globals. I have used Globals in the past but didn't get on with them so now use an 8" Wusthof Nakiri with a scolloped blade that stops food sticking to it, a 10" Wusthof cooks knife and a Wusthof pairing knife. My boning, steak, and filleting knives are all Victorinox as are my other kitchen utensils such as palette knives etc. Staying sharp is another matter as it's up to the user how they sharpen them and how they are used and waht type of steel you use. I use a diamond steel which is excellent. hope this helps but have a look at all the numerous other posts.

Global Warming- What's a person to do?
Original post made by Elizabeth Lasensky, Menlo Park: Downtown, on Jan 25, 2007
So here is a starter list, maybe others can add to it.
* install solar panels
* rediscover the clothes line
* walk and bike, take public transit, carpool
* install programmable thermostats
* use flourescent light bulbs
* shop locally
* plant more trees and native plants
* shop strategically, support eco-friendly businesses and products
* encourage transit, bike and pedestrian oriented housing and other developments
Other ideas?
a resident of Menlo Park: University Heights
on Jan 25, 2007 at 2:33 pm
Good list. My Number One suggestion:
Get out of your SUVs. Now. There are alternatives that are as safe, if not safer, and FAR more responsible.
Also, I agree with the "shop locally" and "shop strategically..." points, but would add: Don't shop at all unless you actually NEED what you would be purchasing.
a resident of Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park
on Jan 25, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Curbside recycling -- it's so easy, and yet so many of my neighbors don't use it.
Don't throw batteries in the trash -- the Menlo Park library and Walgreens photo dept. will take your old batteries.
Use non-toxic or less-toxic cleaning products, such as vinegar-based window cleaner instead of ammonia-based.
Be smart about pest control. Regular spraying is terrible for the environment and for your family's health. Good suggestions can be found on this web site: Web Link
a resident of Menlo Park: South of Seminary/Vintage Oaks
on Jan 25, 2007 at 5:03 pm
Great list, Elizabeth. I just rediscovered my clothesline!
Along the lines of your suggestion to get programmable thermostats, I would add "turn down the heat" (or, in the summer, avoid using the AC when you can). More efficient use of energy helps reduce emissions, and it's easy to do.
Buying from the Farmers' Market helps reduce the impact of our food choices by reducing the amount of fossil fuel (= emissions) required to transport it. (For more info on food miles, check out this interesting study by the Worldwatch Institute: Web Link.) Choosing organic food reduces the use of petroleum-based fertilizers and pesticides.
We're lucky to have some good local markets in MP and Palo Alto. It's a great social scene, and the best way to get fresh, excellent produce.
a resident of Portola Valley: Portola Valley Ranch
on Jan 25, 2007 at 10:15 pm
And ...
Tell your politicians to Get Rid of those gas guzzling, air polluting Trucks!! The ones used for cargo. Or at least enact more stringent efficiency laws against them!
Require that all public transportation be energy efficient.
Allow residents to participate in renewable energy programs.
Ask your local television stations to show more news on environmental change and news on how to increase use of renewable energy.
Start a company to create more renewable energy.
Protest in the streets.
Put up Billboard ads on Freeways asking people to become more energy efficient.
Make Television & Radio Ads in favor of environmental conservation.
Ask your local businesses to participate in renewable energy programs.
Wear organic clothing.
Turn off your porch lights at night.
Ask the shopping malls to use less energy - or go renewable.
Refrain from burning wood in your fireplace.
Don't drink bottled water - those plastic bottles - the dozens that we find washed up on beaches. Use a washable water bottle.
Don't buy exotic woods for your floors, furniture, kitchen cabinets - the Brazilian cherry wood kind that comes from Brazil (i.e. the Amazon). Use bamboo or locally grown wood.
Ask your legistlators to require that businesses become more energy efficient. And make sure they enforce it!
Ask your gardeners to use rakes instead of gas fueled leaf blowers.

There is a suggestion conspicuously missing from these good lists: A highly personal matter, powerful in its long term impacts and related to the effectiveness of nearly everything previously mentioned. The big pink elephant in the middle of the room is...overpopulation!
For those of you of reproductive age who want children, consider adoption. If you must do one of your own, do just one. Absolutely positively stop at two. It is your reponsibility to the future.

Anit- (Anti-?)Steve Schmidt,
Time to stop tossing out these smug and simplistic buzz phrases like "family friendly" in such a meaningless way. Instead, let's look at what such concepts mean. To me a "family friendly" person would be seriously concerned about what kind of world we're leaving to the youngest members of our family. Being "family hostile" is being unwilling to consider all good-faith, effective means of stopping the destruction of the planet all families call "home."
a resident of Menlo Park: The Willows
on Jan 26, 2007 at 12:48 pm
"Anti" will appreciate an article in today's SF Chronicle, page A8, titled "Gore's 'truth' given cold reception in Seattle". Religion as science, anyone?
a resident of Menlo Park: Downtown
on Jan 26, 2007 at 3:20 pm
Lots of excellent additions to the starter list.
MPWorkingMom has an good comment up top - don't purchase something unless you absolutely need somthing. How else can we stop rampant consumerism and our "disposable" culture and cut down on credit card debt at the same time.
a resident of another community
on Jan 26, 2007 at 6:41 pm
The Earth may be warming, but the Chronicle article cited by Steve Schmidt chilled me to the bone. I found it interesting that the religious fanatic who is at the center of this theater-of-the-absurd has seven kids. Of course, he's not worried about what kind of world we're leaving for future generations -- the Second Coming is right around the corner, so why worry? What a cretin.
a resident of Menlo Park: Stanford Hills
on Jan 26, 2007 at 8:35 pm
Cretins (stunted physical and mental growth) don't understand that overpopulation is a myth. Malthus' predictions have proven to be wrong as will Al Gore's posturing.
Never underestimate technology, creativity and science. If either of the above were correct we wouldn't be here to write these pithy messages.
The left wing, environmentalist, socialist lobby really wants to control how we all live.
Steve doesn't understand the failure and pitfalls of his socialist agenda. He thinks we all want to live in his vision of a wonderful world.
It's not working for Cuba and we don't need our own llittle Castro leading policy in Menlo Park.
a resident of Menlo Park: Felton Gables

Variations on two previous ideas:
** Lobby the decision-makers in your workplace to avoid extremes in temperature control -- frigid air conditioning in summer and excessive heat in winter.
** Get rid of your lawn. Landscaping with shrubs and other plants eliminates the need for a lawnmower, and will usually require less water.

People seriously interested in global warming and what we can do about it might consider a five-week discussion class being sponsored by Acterra on Tuesday nights from Feb. 6 to March 11, from 7:30 to 9 p.m., at Palo Alto High School, 25 Embarcadero Road.
Participants in "Global Warming: Issues and Answers" will learn the scientific evidence for climate change, how it will affect future generations as well as those living around the current shores of San Francisco Bay, and what can be done. Participants will consider policies at different levels of government; they will also calculate their personal "carbon footprint" and learn practical steps to reduce their own emissions of greenhouse gases.
Instructor David Coale is a board member of the environmental group, Acterra, and serves on Palo Alto's Green Ribbon Task Force on Climate Protection. In real life, he rides a bicycle and drives an electric car powered by his home electric solar system.
Registration is $45 for the class, which is being presented through the Palo Alto Adult School. People can register online at Web Link
For more information, contact David Coale at Acterra, 962-9876, ext. 309; or email@example.com.

Coulda been worse, folks. SS could have run for council again. Imagine another four years of this misguided zealot trying to implement family planning policies in Menlo Park instead of dealing with the real issues that confront us.
a resident of Menlo Park: University Heights
on Jan 29, 2007 at 7:35 am
Steve Schmidt wants to "implement family planning policies in Menlo Park" because he suggests that people limit the number of kids they have as a way to stem damage to the planet? Big difference between suggesting a voluntary measure and advocating for a government policy -- as if you didn't know that. How about keeping the discussion honest?
a resident of Menlo Park: Downtown
on Jan 29, 2007 at 12:22 pm
History sides with Steve Schmidt. Jarod Diamond, in his best selling book "Collapse", examines both ancient and modern examples where overpopulation combined with environmental degradation, deforestation, and internal power struggles contributed to the collapse of such diverse civiliazations as Easter Island, the Mayans, Chaco Canyon, Greenland and Rwanda. We are headed there and there is no space ship that is going to rescue us.
We can choose to follow that path to self-destruction or we can change our course and head for a more sustainable future. The choice is ours.
So, given that choice, what are you going to change to help?
a resident of Menlo Park: Stanford Hills
on Jan 29, 2007 at 3:00 pm
Jared Diamond is a zealot like Elizabeth and Steve. Zealotry in any from should be avoided at all cost. I am sure glad that we have neither of them leading our city council at present. I am also glad that hey are revealing themselves fully for who they are and whta they represent.
From an Amaozon review of the referenced author.
In his magnum opus, 1984, George Orwell famously wrote, "Who controls the past, controls the future and who controls the present controls the past". This is a lesson that Jared Diamond has obviously learned well.
In his latest book "Collapse" Jared Diamond" continues to push the Europhobic liberal agenda. Hiding behind the facade of environmentalism Diamond crafts a sub-text that calls for Europeans to embrace the values of failed third-world cultures and abandon the pursuit of technological advancement that has created global European cultural hegemony. Unfortunately for Diamond, genuine scientific research is revealing much of his work to be based on nothing more than wishful thinking and an overactive imagination.
Diamond makes the assertion that Easter Island experienced a cultural collapse due to depletion of natural resources and overpopulation. This may conflate well with the tenets of liberalism but unfortunately for Mr Diamond, it does not conflate well with the factual findings of the latest archaeological investigations. Radiocarbon dating of soil samples, by Carl Lipo and Terry Hunt, indicate that Easter Island was not inhabited until two to eight hundred years after the occupation time that Diamond's theory would require. Quite simply, the new evidence uncovered by Lipo and Hunt indicates that the period of human habitation of Easter Island was far too short for Diamond's putative collapse to have been the result of overpopulation. To quote Carl Lipo,
"It fits our 21st century view of us as ecological monsters. There's no doubt that we do terrible things ecologically, but we're passing that on to the past, which may not have been actually the case, to stick our plight on to them is unfair"
It is difficult to over-emphasise just how badly compromised Diamond is by this evidence. The Easter Island chapter is a major plank in his argument, the fact that Diamond is rank ignorant of the latest archeological research reveals him to be an amateur polemicist rather than a scientific authority figure.
Those who may think that Diamond's Easter Island fantasy is simply an abberation might want to introduce some hard science into their analysis of Diamond's version of the history of Greenland. The extinction of Greenland's Viking colony is used by Diamond to enforce the ideology of modern liberalism. Diamond claims that the Vikings perished because a racist contempt for the Inuit prevented them from assimilating ideas that would have prevented their slow starvation. A cultural superiority complex caused the Viking colonists to cling to an unviable agricultural lifestyle and, in Diamonds words, "The Greenland colonists starved to death surrounded by oceans teeming with fish". This is an analysis that neatly dovetails with modern pro-immigrant, liberal cultural relativism and the dogma of multiculturalism. The major flaw in Diamond's argument is that the latest historical research shows that by the time of the colony's extinction the Greenland Vikings had, in point of fact, switched from a diet that was 80% farm food to a diet that was 80% marine food. In otherwords, the Viking colonists proved to be perfectly capable of adapting to environmental change without having to learn lessons from stone age primitives. To present the Vikings as beloning to a soley agrarian culture in the first place would be the cause for much derisive laughter among genuine historians. The Vikings are well known (unless you are Diamond) to have exploited a rich variety of marine life as a food resource.
The alternative explanation for the Vikings demise is that the mini-ice age that caused the Vikings to switch diets also witnessed a mass immigration of Alaskan Inuit who competed with the Vikings for food and finally massacred them in an unrecorded genocide. We know about the mini ice-age from the evidence of core samples and tree rings. We know about the Innuit peregrinations through archeology and folk record. In the face of genuine science and history I'm afraid Mr Diamond is left up a certain creek without means of conveyance. Historians tend not to write about evolutionary biology, perhaps evolutionary biologists might in future restrain their urge to embarrass themselves by writing about history?

I think you shot yourself in the foot on claiming the moral high ground against zealotry, however.

2. What makes the three people you named as "zealots" zealots? Because they disagree with you?

We live in a world of finite resources and shouldn't pretend otherwise. I am hopeful that many voluntary actions can help create a sustainable future for all of us and that it won't be necessary to resort to any sort of draconian measures suggested in some previous notes.
I ask that we all be more respectful of nature - and of each other. Personal attacks are not helpful.
a resident of Menlo Park: Belle Haven
on Jan 29, 2007 at 9:19 pm
The point is that our city officials--elected and paid--should be focusing their efforts where they can achieve some benefit. It's realistic to discuss, say, reducing our civic dependence on oil and other non-renewable sources of energy. But the only reason to bring up the topic of eliminating reproduction among residents of Menlo Park is to create divisiveness and controversy.
It's unfortunate that some people seek elected office because they like to stir up emotions and polarize residents. And perhaps, you could argue, this sort of amusement is harmless. But while these elected officials are thusly amusing themselves, who's minding the store? I for one am glad that our current council members do not seem to be the type that want to engage in ideological nitpickery just because they need some excitement in their otherwise dreary lives.

A few more "little" things that could add up:
* Don't idle your engine needlessly to "warm up" your car, or while parking longer than a minute or so.
* Avoid drive-thru restaurants. Park and walk inside.
* Turn off all lights, TVs, radios, etc., when you leave a room (Plus, leave those outdoor "insecurity" lights off. You might even rediscover the Milky Way above.
* Turn off your computer when it is not actively being used.
* Politely encourage local businesses to turn off a few lights too.
* Unless you live in the woods, sell your SUV and buy a smaller car.

There are many useful ways to conserve energy listed here, but it's important not to lose sight of the need to write to government representatives at all levels and urge them to enact legislation that will take on global warming in a substantial way.
Small individual actions will not save this planet as its current species have come to know it.

I know this is a petty irritation, but could I propose a ban on "Keep Tahoe Blue" stickers from being placed on SUVs?
If you are driving a Tahoe or an Explorer or a Navigator, or any other SUV, you aren't helping keep Tahoe blue, or the air clean, or the environment healthy. You and your sticker are part of the problem.
a resident of Menlo Park: Downtown
on Feb 1, 2007 at 1:00 pm
What about banning
gas-powered leaf blowers
hardwood floors and other wood objects from tropical rainforests, etc.
watering lawns - don't water on rainy days or water only twice a week
use rakes, etc.
purchase sustainable hardwood alternatives, like cork or bamboo
plant drought tolerant native plants

"You and your sticker are part of the problem."
It's not the sticker's fault!
I know our federal govt isn't going to do a thing to stop the production/sale of these vehicles, but can't Menlo Park institute a special tax to help compensate for the wear and tear on our local environment (and the dangers SUVs create by dint of their mass, not to mention that fact that many SUV drivers think they own the road and are invincible and drive accordingly)?
a resident of Menlo Park: Felton Gables

Anyone taking the time to respond to Anti-SS is wasting their typing.
He/she is not interested in any type of conservation. He/she is part of the 28%, those who will disagree with TRUTH even if it is served up on a platter to him/her.
Great ideas have been posted here on how to help-please just ignore the naysayer.

About 6-8 weeks ago I combined a small swarm with a productive queen with a very productive hive via newspaper and a queen excluder. The theory bee-ing that the strong hive would help build out foundation and help care for the queen and brood. about a month ago the swarm hive was doing very well so I pulled it off the other hive, slapped a super on it and started to feed it to build up winter stores.
Now the queen in the original hive has pretty much stopped laying. I thought it was just "a phase" she was going through but I opened the hive the other day and the only thing in there is some pollen, nectar and a few sealed brood that must be hatching as I write this. So the question is..
Was I wrong to combine the hives? I thought it was a good way to get more bees to wrok on the swarm hive?
And what can I expect this queen to do? Will she ever start laying again?

I uncovered an interesting pattern that turned out to be instrumental to our last 3 Superbowl victories . This may sound far-fetched but this felt like an awakening . It occurred to me that prior to winning the last 3 Superbowls we signed a key veteran free agent that had the following attributes: 1. They played defensive back. 2. They were formerly a 1st or 2nd round draft pick . 3. They never made it to the SB with their former teams. 4. They possess Intangible leadership qualities/confidence. These players are:
Everson Walls, Former first round pick of Dallas Cowboys. Superbowl XXV. Remember the game saving open field tackle of Thurman Thomas ? It was the biggest play in the game and helped prevent a possible TD that could have changed the outcome. I thought it was amazing that will all the star players on the 86' Giants, it was Walls on the Sports Illustrated cover photo as he was captured with his arms raised in the air after the game.
Sam Madison, Former 2nd round pick of the Miami Dolphins and R W McQuarters, Former 1st round pick of the Chicago Bears. Super Bowl XLII. An aggressive defense relies heavily on confidence. If a player is unsure of himself or the situation, then his pace is slowed. I always felt that Sam Madison was that special player that had unique instincts to make plays. He and R W had that football wisdom and confidence that could influence the outcome of games. I am sure with 20 years of combined experience they had made a huge impact on a young Aaron Ross ,Corey Webster and Gibril Wilson.
Dion Grant. Former 2nd round pick of the Carolina Panthers, SuperBowl XLVI. How important was Grant last year? Grant was versatile , as he was able to play up top in a traditional safety spot or down low as a pseudo-linebacker. His presence and interchangeability enabled Perry Fewell to work around the loss of Terrell Thomas last season. Team chemistry, clutch play and motivation were key elements during the Super Bowl run last year. Grant, in particular, played a big part of the leadership circle. His leadership qualities were unparalled and he exuded veteran confidence that rubbed off on the team. Bottom line. No one was more hungry to win the Superbowl than Deon Grant in my opinion.. That was my take away.
Nate Clements. Former 1st round pick of the Buffalo Bills, SuperBowl XVIII? We should be able to get him cheap this year after his 2 year stint w/ the Bengals. His contract was 2 years /$ 10 million . Remember the $80 million dollar contract he signed with the 49ers back in 2007? No Superbowl with the 49ers thanks to the multiple coaching changes and .. ahem.. Alex Smith at QB. I am sure Nate is chomping at the bit to sign with a team that has a shot to win the SB. His leadership skills and veteran presence will have a positive impact with our young DBs, Jayron Hosley and Prince Amukamora.

Substantial classical music has been meagre in this Auckland Arts Festival.
Little surprise then that the 90 engrossing minutes of Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra's War Requiem resulted in a packed town hall. This was a magnificent undertaking - not only because of the indisputable quality of Britten's score, but for the way in which it brought together the city's young musicians with the APO in one of the monumental works of the last century. Watching Eckehard Stier on the podium, one could sense Britten's music emanating from his baton.
Stier has spoken of the piece's political impact and implications. He was clearly enjoying the bristling eclecticism with Britten's references running from Bach and Verdi to Bernstein and Carl Orff.
The opening was appropriately sober and we sensed the weighty sorrows through terse orchestral tensions.
The racing fugue of Quam Olim seemed to be powered from within and, throughout, one was struck by the finesse of instrumentalists' solo contributions.
Stier ensured that the last section, saturated with the colours of full orchestral and choral forces, gave the resolution that our souls demanded.
Shamefully, at this point, and earlier on, during a particularly hushed moment, the atmosphere was broken by a cellphone.
Tenor Timothy Robinson was outstanding. The signature of Peter Pears is all over this part, and Robinson had both the vocal flexibility for free-range virtuosity and the lyricism to make the Agnus Dei melt hearts. Baritone Ivan Ludlow was excellent, too, both duetting with Robinson in the Dies Irae and in his final observations on the pity of war.
Soprano Orla Boylan has a voice with Wagnerian heft.
She effortlessly soared over the choirs and, where needed, came up with that "wild animal sound" Britten called for.
The combined singers of Voices New Zealand Chamber Choir and the New Zealand Youth Choir, together with the local Auckland Chamber Choir, were splendid.
So too was the young treble choir, conducted by Karen Grylls, expertly navigating Britten's tricky lines over John Wells' pellucid organ sonorities.

text: I am having an issue with my headlight switch, I think its looking like a bad switch. When I turn the headlight switch to the left to turn the headlights on(from auto), nothing happens. Maybe one out of 20 times the parking lights came on only. But for the most part nothing happens. If I have the fogs on, the fogs stay on as it should when turning the headlights on and the fogs turn off when I turn the light switch again as they should. I am 90% sure its the switch, but this part makes me think there may be something else. If that function of the switch was bad wouldn't the fogs just stay on instead of turning off with the headlights? If I turn the switch to "On", the headlights come on fine. They also come on when set to "Auto" and the sun goes down enough to trigger the auto sensor. I don't think any of this matters but will mention it anyway - 2008 Sierra with HIDs projector CCFL Halos.

A three-level office, showroom and warehouse building which generates $148,000 in net annual rental income from three tenants is being marketed for sale as a redevelopment add value opportunity.
The city fringe property at 21-23 Nixon St, Newton, just off Great North Rd, Auckland, will be auctioned at 11am on November 7 at Colliers International's office at 151 Queen St, in the Auckland CBD, unless it sells before that.
"This is a classic add value opportunity in a regenerating mixed-use location," says John Davies, who is marketing it with colleague Jonathan Lynch.
"Although the property is currently occupied by three tenants, the weighted average lease term remaining of 1.3 years makes the building a prime candidate for redevelopment.
"We see it appealing to developers looking to convert it into modern, open-plan office or showroom use, or a combination of the two."
Residential use could also be a possibility, with other apartment developments having been constructed in the area recently, Lynch says.
"With the current rentals below market levels and given the popularity of this city fringe location, there is significant potential to realise this property's great potential as an excellent income-generating asset."
The three-level concrete block building comprises 957sq m of floor area across two floors of offices and ground level showroom and warehouse space on a 569sq m freehold site. A secure gated basement parks 23 cars.
O'Neills Textiles occupies the warehouse portion of the ground floor. The company supplies fashion fabrics to customers including designers, manufacturers, film producers and commercial uniform suppliers, and operates in the New Zealand and Australian fashion industries. The first floor office accommodation is occupied by Teleservices, a specialised call centre provider; and a market research company leases the ground floor office space.
The property is located on mixed-use zoned land just off the eastern end of Great North Rd in a regenerating retail and office precinct, Davies says.
"This part of town used to be home to businesses like panelbeaters and vehicle workshops, but has been undergoing transformation into a mixed-use locality with showroom retail, restaurants and apartments."
A number of properties in the area were redeveloped and upgraded in the mid-1980s to provide for more intensive uses, with more recent developments mostly centred on apartments and showrooms, says Lynch.
It is only 3km from the central business district and the regular bus routes along Great North Rd make the area attractive to residential occupiers, he says.
John Bowring, Colliers International's national auction manager, expects the property to appeal to buyers with an eye for upside, given Auckland's significant forecast population growth. "Auckland's growth is expected to result in increased demand for offices, shops and apartments in the central city and fringe areas, so we should see buyers in the auction room who are keen to undertake property developments and aim to benefit from this trend."
What's on offer Building: Office, warehouse and showroom
Address: 21-23 Nixon St, Newton
Comprises: 957sq m on three levels
Earns: $148,000 a year

While the attack once again failed to produce confusion in Kitty, it didn't even manage to throw the feline off balance, her tail acting as a wonderful balancing device. It was time to put Noriko's plan into action as the Skitty wagged her tail and winked in the most charming and loving manner, creating a load of little hearts that hit Hoothoot right to the face. Maybe it was pure luck or female intuition but Noriko's plan payed off: the male Hoothoot stared at Kitty from mid-air, fluttering his wings and making very lovey-dovey sounds.
Noriko looked at Kitty. The little feline had on her face the most predatory look Noriko had ever seen. Hoothoot seemed to be too infatuated to even notice the dangerous licking of lips and tensing that was usually followed by a pounce for the yarn…or the kill. Victory was too close to let go of now!
"We've got this in the bag, Kitty! Use Tackle and Incinerate once more!" After watching the battle unfold, Noriko decided to take her chances and threw a Pokéball [4/5] at Hoothoot with one hand while crossing her fingers with the other.

text: April 11, 2007 Buckeye love I figured I would respond to Archer before someone pointed out that two weeks ago I wrote that Ted Ginn might be a really good fit for the Cowboys. You have to realize that everything about the draft is fluid. The more you talk to people, the more information you get, the more your opinion can change. That said, the people I talk to about Ginn talk about his unpolished route-running and perceived lack of toughness because he doesn't run many routes in the middle of the field and he is a track guy. Ginn, who I could definitely see falling in the draft, might be the guy who is a bad value at 6-12, an ok value at 13-20 and a good value lower than that. I hope all of that makes sense.

Nmap Scripts?
I was going through some of my collection of pen-testing videos and noticed that nmap scripts aren't typically being used - is there a particular reason for this? I hear a couple of them are unsafe and a little noisy.
I was just wondering - is there a favorite or a couple favorite scripts that you guys use with nmap scripts ("--script option") when doing pen-tests? Which seem to be musts in your nmap scans, if any?

New executive overreach: Obama may relax U.S. sanctions on Iran — without action from Congress
posted at 4:01 pm on January 21, 2014 by Allahpundit
Like the man said, he's got a pen and a phone and he's not going to wait around for the legislature just because the law says he has to.
It used to be that O reserved his executive power grabs for matters on which Congress was deadlocked, or simply wasn't moving fast enough for his liking. Not always, of course: Congress duly enacted the ObamaCare employer mandate that he suspended, but that likely would have produced deadlock if he had asked Congress to suspend it instead, which, I guess, in Obama's mind is close enough. This time is different. If anything, there's too much bipartisan support for Iran sanctions; the whole reason Harry Reid hasn't let a vote come to the floor in the Senate is because he's afraid pro-Israel Democrats will cross the aisle and join the GOP on a new slate of measures designed to turn the pressure up on Tehran. That could blow up O's nuke negotiations with the mullahs. And even if new sanctions don't pass, it may be impossible to get Congress to lift sanctions that are currently in effect as a reward for Iran if/when they meet some of the White House's nuclear demands. That too is a function not of deadlock but of bipartisan agreement between Republicans and a slew of Democrats in Congress who are more hawkish towards Iran than Obama is.
Solution: More unilateral action, of course.
"The American people must get a say in any final nuclear agreement with Iran to ensure the mullahs never get the bomb," [Sen. Mark] Kirk told the Washington Free Beacon. "The administration cannot just ignore U.S. law and lift sanctions unilaterally."…
Top White House aides have been "talking about ways to do that [lift sanctions] without Congress and we have no idea yet what that means," said one senior congressional aide who works on sanctions. "They're looking for a way to lift them by fiat, overrule U.S. law, drive over the sanctions, and declare that they are lifted."…
"It's no secret that the president, with executive power, can determine sanctions implementation, particularly with waivers and the decision not to sanction certain entities," said Jonathan Schanzer, a former terrorism finance analyst at the Treasury Department, which is responsible for enforcing sanctions…
"In the case of Iran, such an approach could allow Washington to reach a nuclear accord without Congress having to vote on rescinding, even temporarily or conditionally, certain sanctions," Clawson wrote. "No matter how stiff and far-reaching sanctions may be as embodied in U.S. law, they would have less bite if the administration stopped enforcing them."
It's not that O's going to somehow unilaterally repeal the sanctions in effect. A la the employer mandate, he'll simply refuse to enforce existing law, using executive orders and waivers to make sure that funds that Congress wants choked off will somehow find their way to Iran if the mullahs play ball. The counterargument here, I guess, is that presidents always have some latitude in how they enforce sanctions. Right, but this isn't a quibble about how best to carry out a mutually agree-upon policy; it's a case of the executive and legislature being seemingly at loggerheads on the core question of whether U.S. policy should involve more pressure on an enemy or less — at a sensitive moment of international diplomacy to boot. Against that backdrop, systematically relaxing sanctions would amount to O substituting the policy he favors for the one favored by Congress. That's actually bolder than his decision not to enforce the mandate, which Democrats were happy to see him do (even though they had passed the mandate in the first place) since it averted an extra ObamaCare-related political headache for them this year. By relaxing Iran sanctions, he'd potentially be defying his own party too.
Exit question: Pro-sanction Democrats in Congress will ultimately end up playing along with this, though, right? The bona fide Iran hawks will be angry, but the fencesitters who like to project hawkishness to show support for Israel without being heavily invested in the subject might find this a dandy solution to their dilemma. If the fate of sanctions is left to them, their choice is either to sabotage Obama's deal with Iran by refusing to relax sanctions or to be accused of selling out Israel by agreeing to relax them. Better to let the lame duck in the White House take the heat by doing what he wants and then either taking vicarious credit if his policy works or beating him up if it doesn't. No surprise, by that logic, that some pro-sanctions Dems have been spotted toning down the rhetoric lately. They'll defer to O in the end. What do they have to lose?

Reviews of this property
Nos hôtes étaient très sympas et toujours prêts à nous donner des infos supplémentaires que ce soit pour le petit restau très sympa où nous sommes allées 3 soirs de suite ou pour les lignes et horaires de train pas toujours faciles à comprendre. Maison de caractère situé pas trop loin du centre...Petite terrasse agréable.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The room and the shared place is really clean and nice. But unfortunately, the room is located beside a main street which is too noisy and the bed is just shared the same wall with the sink of the kitchen. The toilet is also really loud, because water of toilet after flushing is floating for more than 10 min. I read the preview before I book, but didn't image how loud it could be. We couldn't sleep well during our 4 nights stay.
I still recommend this place to stay due to the clean. It may be fine for people who gets up really early during vacation, cause the kitchen will be used starting 8 AM but the street noise starts around 6 AM cannot be avoided. Maybe bring ear plugs will help you a bit.
Only bed, no breakfast. Had to go to the nearest café to get breakfast. Not a big issue but you choose for a B&B to have a decent breakfast included.
Simple but good room. There is a smal kitchen you can use to prepare a meal. We could parc our bicycles in the small garden, very nice.
Locating not really in the center, but it took us by bike only 5 minutes to get there.
Lovely place and great hosting. Very clean, quite and good value for money. The only downside was that the place is not exactly in the city centre as we expected.
My brother and my sister in law who stayed in the apartment.
They said that Mario is very receptive and cool!
However, the room was extremely cold (the heater worked, but not heated the room) and there was a lot of noise in other rented rooms and a lot of noise on the street.
Location near the station and away from the tourist spots.
Great Room with very nice ambiente and very close to the city center. Mario was absolutly friendly and helped us with everything - thank you for the great time.
landlord friendly, very clean and welcoming home. highly recommended!
padrone di casa gentilissimo, casa molto pulita ed accogliente. molto consigliato!
We had a pleasant stay in the room with the private garden. The noice from the street didn't bother us much, we slept like babies. Wonderful big bathroom. We used the kitchen a lot and everyone was very nice, especially nice to our Little son (thanks).

Sugar Mountain busy with 15 inches of fresh powder
AVERY COUNTY, Tenn. - We may be thousands of miles from Sochi, but skiers at Sugar Mountain were in the Olympic spirit on Friday, tackling about a foot of fresh powder that fell earlier in the week.
There were long lines and full lifts as skiers of all ages hit the slopes. "[It was a] snow day, no school, so I brought the kids," said Rob Martin of Avery County.
Martin told us the conditions were perfect. "No ice, no moguls. Just wonderful skiing," Martin said.
Kim Jochl, the resort's marketing director, told us they got 15 inches of snow on Thursday and expected another six inches on Friday night. "There's nothing like actual snowfall to get people out on the slopes," said Jochl.
She told us they've been running all seven chair lifts and had all 20 slopes open, including 15 for night skiing. "We'll be 100 percent open," said Jochl. "Everything will be running. We have eight lanes of tubing going."
We met skiers who traveled across the state to be a part of it. Leslie Engle and her family came from Brentwood, Tenn., which is a suburb of Nashville.
Engle told us the snow storm delayed their trip. "We were supposed to leave on Thursday morning, but it was still covered with all of the snow," she said. "We had to wait until later."
Engle told us it's been worth it. She said they'll be staying until Monday.
The resort told us they usually see more faces during President's Day weekend. "People tend to come Thursday through Monday, or Friday through Monday," said Jochl.
Down in the village, Nick's Restaurant & Pub has already started to feel the holiday weekend rush. "I am seeing definitely more families," said owner Vicki Treyz. "A lot of families, big parties."
Treyz told us the combination of the holiday and fresh snow will make for a big weekend.
We kept track of the road conditions between Bristol, Va. and Sugar Mountain Resort. The roads were cleared off and our crews didn't hit any problem spots during the trip.

@Guest: I saw that show too. It was intense choreography and you had to have the right look and talent to get in. If you could sing then you were a triple threat. I saw the movie and the reality show. I liked them both.. I thought it was cool. Even Dad's came in to support their daughters. Nothing wrong with that….. I would love to gol.

Stephanie, I'm sorry when I said I was disappointed. I like her and I thought she's had enough bad press without asking for more. They all look like their having a great time and I love the pic of her and the little girl. I guess I was being a mother not wanting her to be insulted.

Why on earth are you so disappointed in her? The little girl happens to be one of friend's daughters………another one of her daughters works at Hooters here in Amarillo……where these pics were all taken. So what, the girl isn't allowed to go out in public and eat? She's gotta clear it with you first???

Air America pulls the plug
posted at 5:25 pm on January 21, 2010 by Allahpundit
Alternate headline: "Omen of the day."
It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.
The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business. This past year has seen a "perfect storm" in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection. From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry's long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times…
When Air America Radio launched in April, 2004 with already-known personalities like Al Franken and then-unknown future stars like Rachel Maddow, it was the only full-time progressive voice in the mainstream broadcast media world. At a critical time in our nation's history — when dissent on issues such as the Iraq war were often denounced as "un-American" — Air America and its talented team helped millions of Americans remember the importance of compelling discussion about the most pivotal events and decisions of our generation.
The boss has been predicting their implosion since practically day one of Hot Air. Like she says, given their longstanding financial nightmares, the only surprise is that they lasted this long. Cause of death, per our favorite liberal: Suckage.
Exit question: Brown wins, ObamaCare's on life support, McCain/Feingold gets gut-punched by SCOTUS, now this. What happens tomorrow? Does Rupert Murdoch buy the Times or something?

2013 brings about change, but is change always a good thing? Infiniti didn't seem to think so with this 2013 Infiniti G37. Not much has transformed for this new year as it rolls out on the same chassis and frame from 2012. Like a fine painting, every time you catch a glance it remains a stunning piece of art. The aerodynamic sculpted front face pierces the air with its curvature headlamps down to the LED rear tail lamps while chrome trim breaks up the Slate Blue body. Powering the rear wheels is an enthusiastic 3.7L DOHC 328 horsepower engine with 269lbs feet of torque. The transmission has a unique electronically controlled 7-speed automatic with Adaptive Shift Control. Utilizing the Driver Sport mode the adaptive learning algorithm kicks in and senses driving style and adjusts automatic shifting accordingly, needless to say this got quite the workout. With all that power at my fingertips I was able to unleash those wild horses and punch out a 0-60 violent time of 4.9 seconds with revs all the way up to 7,000 that roared like the perfect melody. With great power comes great responsibility as the responsive speed sensitive steering system allowed me to dodge in and out of Atlanta traffic and take curvy back roads like it was second nature that left me craving for more. Braking was honorable with its 12.6" 4-wheel ABS brakes that saved a few squirrels from becoming victimized to road kill. Suspension is well supported but a tad with an independent double-wishbone with coil springs at the front and an independent multi-link with coil spring at the rear making for a smooth yet sport feel on 17" triple 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels with all-season tires – you won't have to worry about breaking your back when you go over a pot holes.Now that I got all that power out of my system I was able to take notice to the large amount of simulated brushed aluminum throughout with a small dose of chrome. Black faux leather decorates the dash; while lower quality materials surrounded the gear lever and power window controls, but was easily hidden with the extra added detail to chrome accents on the turn signal indicators and variable wiper controls. Infiniti dulled up this sportatious sedan by adding a grandfather analog clock in the center of the dash. Standard on the G37 is 7" vehicle information center with back-up camera and sensors that made parallel parking on downtown streets worry free. Controlling the VIC through the leather wrapped steering wheel with mounted controls was not driver friendly as buttons were awkwardly located. Bluetooth was also very substandard, the voice command would repeat every command available before allowing me to speak – I hope there was an option to disable that. Black leather upholstery covered the interior with Infiniti's logo inserts that added a pleasant touch with heated front seats. Once I engaged the push button start and a waken the horses, bright crystal white lights illuminate the gauge cluster – and as dusk begin to approach the HID headlamps light up the streets while the crystal white lights drifts through the cabin. Both driver and passenger had power adjustable seats, though difficult to operate through the snug fitting between the doors – while the sun visor was pointless as they obstructed view through the front windshield and hung way to low on the side. This mid-size sedan had room to spare for 4 adults or 5 if you like the center of attention. Surprisingly trunk space appeared trifling with 13.5 cubic feet of space and the rear seats do not fold down for added cargo; however, a central pass-through is available for long slender items. The optional 10-speaker Bose surround sound system made tunes much more gratifying to bounce to as we arrived to the parties. Safety is well carried out with Infiniti Advance Air Bag System that included a dual stage front supplemental air bags with seat belt sensors and an occupant-classification sensor that adjust the inflation rate depending on crash severity and seat belt usage. Front and side airbags are also a standard safety feature. Security features such as Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer help keeps your sedan in your garage rather in the hands of some hooligan out on a joyride. Remote keyless entry system is equipped with selective unlocking of all doors – and that is how it exactly sounds, the doors refuse to unlock until the car was turned off or the unlock button was manually pressed.The G37 comes in 3 different models, Journey (as tested), G37x AWD, and the G37 Sport with a 6-speed manual transmission. All models include the 3.7L V6 with an average fuel consumption of 19 city and 25 highway – I averaged a good 22.3 mpg. The Journey starts at $36,900 – while the model I tested was priced at $40,500, the G37x starts at $38,500 and the Sport at $41,000. The more I drove the more this car started to grow on me. It did have a few faults, but could easily be overlooked with just the sound of the engine from the dual chrome exhaust. With all the other luxury sedans, I do find the price tag to be a tad steep for some of the options you don't receive and prepare yourself for a large maintenance bill; however, this sedan makes for a great second hand owner.Check out my full blog at http://6thgearmotorhead.blogspot.com/2012/12/2013-infiniti-g37.html
I stopped reading after the second sentence where you state that the G37 rides on the same platform as a Maxima. G's ride on Nissan's rear drive FM platform while the Maxima rides on the front drive D platform which it shares with the Altima.
---------'15 Mustang GT Premium 6spd'90 325i 'vert 5spd
My mistake, though the interior is still based of the Maxima but with upgraded finishes.
Jimmy thanks for review. I am scheduled to test drive 2013 g37x today. Constant theme engine noise. I desired premium and nav pkgs. Don't have a price yet. Stepping up from Honda crv. I'm retired and trade in vehicle every year, want to try a sedan again.What are your ideas in the $40,000 range comparable to g37x.
The interior is also completely different between the Maxima and G37. I would know because I regularly sell both vehicles.
------------------"If you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life." -Roti
I've spent a lot of time in Infiniti Gs, and I'll tell you that the only car near this price range with similar options will be the Audi A4 2.0T Quattro. The equivalent Cadillac and BMW is thousands more, unless you can really hold yourself back when it comes to options. The only other car anyone would even attempt to mention in the same breath is the Acura TL SH-AWD, but it's a bigger car and personally I feel like it's a slight step down from the Infiniti/Audi group.With the Infiniti, I highly recommend going for the G37xS - with the all wheel drive, the suspension is not made any stiffer, but you get 18" wheels (instead of 17") that fill the wheel wells better, paddle shifters, and fantastic sports seats with pull out thigh supports. It's only $1k more for the package, and the seats alone make the car significantly more comfortable.(Side note: If you go for the Audi, make sure you get the Sport package in that as well - again, supremely more comfortable seats. Well worth it.)

UTSA employee Corinne Sabo says being a Big Sister means having fun
By Corrine Sabo
Accounting Technician, UTSA Prefreshman Engineering Program
(Oct. 12, 2007)--One of the best things I've ever done for myself is to volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Texas [agency code 415016]. Not only am I having a lot of fun, I'm learning just as much as my little sister, Celeste. In fact, the contract that Celeste, her family and I signed states that we have to have fun!
You can give as much or as little time as you have as a Big Sister. The important thing is to be a friend. Celeste is 7 years old, has just started second grade and comes from a single parent family. She's really bright, and we have a great time. The good thing is, for now, she gets tired before I do.

Right now I see her once a week, but as kids get older they have more commitments, so I think that will change eventually. On the weekends, I pick her up and we go places: to the park to play soccer, to art museums, the Witte, the Institute of Texan Cultures (I get in free as a UTSA employee), the San Antonio Zoo and the Botanical Gardens are favorites. We always end up at Dairy Queen.
She had never been to the Alamo, so one Saturday, we went downtown and parked at UTSA, went to the Mercado, rode the trolley, walked on the River Walk and visited the Alamo. Well, mostly we visited the store at the Alamo, but it was fun.
I've learned a lot about myself as Celeste's Big Sister. For example, I learned I have a talent for sound effects. One day she was reading a book (she reads above her grade level) and asked me, "What does static over the radio mean?" and so I tried to make the sound. Turns out, I'm pretty good at this sort of thing, so now when she reads I provide all kinds of sound effects.
I haven't had the license to act like a child in a while. Doing this reconnects you to yourself when you were younger.
Recently, we went to a children's book fair where someone had written a book about UTSA President Ricardo Romo, and he was there signing books. So, I introduced Celeste to him and they had a little chat. Afterwards, it was all she could talk about. For a young Latina, that was important.
What got me started being a volunteer was last year's SECC story about Big Brothers Big Sisters. I had thought about it before, but never actually took the step. All I had to do was click the link and I'm really glad I did. It changed my life, and Celeste's, too!

This dust cover is great. Reasons... A - its the only one.
Its simple. It does the job its a cover. Fitment was perfect to even tho I do not have an ASV lever.
Real nice and strong piece. Fits perfect
Product looks good and is designed perfectly.
These are a tough fit, but once you got them on they do what they are suppose to do.
Looks nice and easy to install.
This dust cover was a direct replacement from the original asv cover. It does what its supposed to.
this is a good dust cover, although it should come with the asv lever when purchased.
This was the best addition I could have done to help stay in control
Not only do I like how it looks it actually does protect the joint from mud and grime. It is not airtight so some dust does get in but overall it works really well.
Fits like a glove.
Just put on my ASV brake lever dust cover. The cover looks great is well made and installs easily. Wish they made one for the clutch side.
