Four years ago, just months before Sheikh Mansour bought Manchester City, the club finished the 2007-2008 season in ninth place and 32 points behind Manchester United, that season's champions. After that, the final-table gap to United jumped to 40 points in 2009, then down to 18 in 2010 and it was nine last season. Win tonight and City could be could be level on points with United with three games to play.
It would be nice to say that City had fought their way to the top of the Premier League with a team of young players moulded by the club, mixed with astute signings and a manager who had cut his teeth in the lower divisions. Like Brian Clough's Derby County who were champions in 1972 in a decade when six different clubs won the league championship.
But the truth is that City team would not have been permitted to survive. As soon as they came within touching distance of the elite, the best players would have been picked off by bigger, richer clubs. The manager would have been lured away with promises of more money and better players. They would have lit up the league for a while and then, like the proverbial Mario Balotelli firework, fallen quickly.
The City that play United tonight are robust. The wages they pay mean that they are insured against losing players to the establishment teams, and there are none more established than United. Their Abu Dhabi owners have spent roughly £800m to get them there. These days, buying the players is no longer a guarantee of long-term success, you have to buttress your squad against the predators too.
Woody Allen once famously compared a relationship to a shark: "It has to move forward or it dies." In the Premier League, the stakes are higher. Moving forward is not enough, as the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa have found out. The quicker and the further you move forward, the more chance you have of being eaten. The only alternative is to develop a bloody sharp set of teeth and eat someone else first.
It will be interesting to see what fate befalls Newcastle United in the next 12 months, having become the latest club to challenge the elite for a Champions League place. Tottenham did so in the past and after their two fifth-place finishes in 2006 and 2007 they eventually lost Michael Carrick and Dimitar Berbatov. Their second wave of success under Harry Redknapp means they will probably lose Luka Modric and Gareth Bale to bigger, richer clubs.
Would it be better for City to be playing United as almost-equals for the league title tonight without the help of a Middle East dynasty? Of course. Just as Chelsea would rather have had the success of the last nine years without the approximate £1bn that Roman Abramovich has invested. At both clubs the question of money is a sensitive subject, especially for the fans who know it will be forever used against them.
We would all like our clubs to succeed with a team made up of academy lads and a break-even budget. But City or Chelsea would never have caught the elite that way. They would have been picked off before they even reached the door. Chelsea qualified for the Champions League in the 2002-2003 season but they did so having gone to the brink of their resources. Their only signing that season was Enrique de Lucas. By the time City hit paydirt in 2008, it had become even harder to break into the top four.
In the modern order of European football, most leagues have their elites. Spanish football's hegemony is as entrenched as the one in Scotland. In Italy, Juventus have risen to the top again despite the Calciopoli scandal and their demotion to Serie B. Ajax lead in the Netherlands. In Portugal, Porto have dominated for the best part of the last 10 years. Turkey's big two are well clear of the rest again.
France and Germany have become more open in the last two seasons but Lyon won seven straight titles in the previous decade. Bayern Munich have won 10 out of the last 20 titles. This is not to say that they, as with the likes of Barcelona, United and Porto, do not have shrewd people in charge who make good decisions. But Champions League participation has become a self-perpetuating way of reinforcing the advantage.
Chelsea have already made £45m from the competition this year, with a further £2.8m if they win the final. That does not include the matchday revenue from their six home games. City have earned £21.3m from their first year in the Champions League – a drop in the ocean for them until you consider that last season's Europa League campaign was worth a relatively paltry £4.5m.
The Champions League is the only show in town. The billionaires who have pumped money into City and Chelsea know that. They want to get into it and stay there so they can stop spending so much. Both clubs have invested heavily in academies, and academy players. Abramovich even now supports Uefa's financial fair play, according to Michel Platini, the Uefa president.
"Your revenue stream is not going to come unless you get into the top four," City's former chief executive Garry Cook said in July 2009. "That means bringing in players to get you there and spending above the odds on wages before the revenues start flowing. You've got to invest in one before you get to another. Any business does that."
Brutal, isn't it? But that plan has ultimately led to the significance of tonight's game, one of the most exciting potential winner-takes-all finales to the season in 20 years. Some people will always regard City as the crass over-spenders. They may well have to survive without the affection of the neutrals, even against United. But they had to do it this way. Otherwise they would never have made it at all.
If Liverpool show is open it will be worth the watch
Last week, a fellow reporter challenged his Twitter followers to come up with a title for the Liverpool fly-on-the-wall documentary/movie to be made by Fox Soccer Channel. There were some beauties. "You'll Never Talk Alone" was the best I saw. "I Can't Believe What You Did Last Summer" and "Con Ayre" got pretty close too.
Graham Taylor once told me that he participated in his famous "Do I not like that" documentary in 1993 because he wanted the public to see the England job – dealing with the players, the press, the fans – as it really was, and he was prepared to take the consequences. I have always admired him for that.
That seems to be the lesson: if the Liverpool programme has no-holds-barred access and no limits over its final cut then it should tell the truth about the club. Which is admirable, even if it is invariably never easy for those involved.
Guardiola may regret walking out on Barça
When Pep Guardiola finally announced his resignation on Friday, I was reminded of Sir Alex Ferguson's words after last May's Champions League final. The Manchester United manager was told then that Guardiola might walk away from Barcelona. Ferguson responded by saying that if Guardiola did, he would never touch such heights again as a manager.
Every man is different, and no one could doubt Guardiola's contribution to Barcelona's history. But sometimes it is just about gritting your teeth and getting through it – "I can't go on, I'll go on," as Samuel Beckett wrote. Ferguson should know.Reuse content

The British and Irish Lions are set to share a jackpot of £2.3 million ($4.6 million) if Warren Gatland's side clinch the series against Australia in Melbourne.
Telegraph Sport understands each player will receive a bonus £12,000, pro rata, which rises to $18,000 if the Lions make a clean sweep of the series 3-0.
Each player who participates in the full tour is guaranteed a basic fee of £50,000. If the Lions win 3-0, the total payout to them will be more than £2.5 million.
The four home unions are to receive £50,000 for each player they provide to the squad, in compensation for them being unavailable for the summer tour, at a cost to the Lions of a further £1.75 million.
The estimated cost of the tour is £14 million, including a seven-figure sum for player insurance, but the Lions board is understood to be hopeful a profit of more than £4 million can be generated through sponsorship (HSBC is the lead sponsor), television rights and ticket sales.
The profit will be shared among the home unions, which should ensure a further seven-figure payout, making this year's tour the most successful in commercial terms since the Lions began touring 125 years ago.

|Banging sounds in the Kenmore Front Loading washers! (model 970.C40042.00)
I read some mailbag threads saying that there are two problems here:
1.) pulley is loose on the shaft
2.)bearing is bust and the whole back part of the tub needs replaced because the engineers at Frigitmore built it integrated into the plastic tub casing.
Unfortunately my problem is neither. The bearing is fine. No rust, no leaks. The pulley fits perfectly and extremely tight on the drive shaft. The problem is that the whole metal tub/shaft/pulley have play if you push and pull the pulley in and out. It's as if the pulley is NOT pulling the tub tight up against the bearing.
I have tried tightening the bolt that holds the pulley in place hoping that that would pull it farther down on the shaft and get rid of this play, but alas it doesn't help. Is it possible to put a washer on the shaft between the bearing and pulley hopefully eliminating the play? Help me Obi Wan Kenobi's! You're all, my only hope. The metal tub is starting to cut into the interior plastic tub housing during spin cycle. YIKES! noisy!

|Rust and leak streaks are signs of end-term bearing failure; the absense of these is not a conclusive indication that the bearing is unimpaired.
Remove the belt from the drum pulley and spin the drum by hand. If you hear noise, that's the bearing. There's a less expensive bearing kit available here.

|I just replaced the bearings on my Frigidaire front-loader rear tub assembly which is very similar to yours. What a pain in the butt.... The inner stainless tub didn't want to come out of the rear tub half. I had to use a wooden rod and a hammer to punch it out. I then found that the inner bearing was totally shot as it was covered in brown goop. The dead bearing came out of the tub in pieces after repeated attempts w/ a metal pipe and hammer.
The cost of new bearings+bearing seal+tub seal w/ shipping came to about $45 after a lot of searching. If I had to do it over again, I'd certainly consider buying a new rear tub assembly which comes the new bearings and the bearing seal already pressed. I think it comes with a new tub seal too(but don't quote me on that). Under $140 shipped!

|Budget Appliance Repair, would you please post the part number for this? I think it's the answer to my problem. My FL washer is a Kenmore 417.40042990 which started staining my clothes with oil and making lots of noise. The nice man from Sears came out and said it'd be $450 for parts and another $450 for labor. Needless to say, he wasn't surprised that we declined!He verified that the bearings were shot. Can I ass-u-me that this meant the "rear bearing" assembly discussed in this item? Is that the part that always goes on these machines?

|S---s will nor replace just the bearings. Their argument (up until recently) would have been that it wasn't a "factory authorised repair". Given that Friggidaire now supply a bearing kit, I'd like to hear their argument now.
Also, you'll pay about double the retail price for a part used as part of a repair job. Labour on a tub replacement - say 3 hours at $60/hour, plus trip charge, around $250. Add extra if the dryer is stacked on top for a helper to de/re-stack.
I've been away from them for nearly three years, perhaps some of the current S---s/fellow "exes" could comment.

|Double the price, I'd expect. But ten times? Outrageous. If you're right, and this can be done for $40, I will certainly be donating to the beer fund around here. (And imagining, but not going on, a serious whoopass rampage)I don't get it, though. So many people seem to have the same problem with this washer or ones like it and are so angry...if it can be a $40 repair, why isn't everybody shouting this from the rooftops?

|Binki, The part# is in the post just above mine.
Here it is again: 134453200 and RepairClinc can get it for you
CLICK HERE to order
It doesn't show a picture but it is the complete assembled outer tub with inner stainless steel spin basket with all new parts for only $218.40 instead of $250.90 for just the back tub half with bearings and seals.
The problem with just ordering the bearings is once you get it apart you might find that the tub shaft may be rusted badly from leaking for a long time and also who knows how bad the tub spider is at this point, seems to be quite a few of this breaking also.
The complete tub assembly would most diffinitely the easiest way for a novice and then you would have an almost new machine.

|Question: my frigidaire (kenmore) front load washer has become really, really loud in the high speed spin. Is this the same problem being discussed here? It sounds like a jet getting ready to take off!
I can't detect any wobble or leaking oil, but I assume this is the bearing getting ready to go out. It has been stable (not getting worse) for several months or more. Wife is threatening to make a call, so need to move fast to save some cash.
Thanks for any help with this. I can't believe I found this discussion group, you all are amazing!

|It's not a banging or squealing sound, really just a very loud whooshing sound. Not high pitched at all. Maybe a bit like surf crashing on a beach? But very loud!

|I can almost garantee you that the noise is the bearing going out. Do as MadMac says, remove the back panel and look for brown streaking down back of tub.
Even if no streaking yet still believe you are hearing the first signs of the bearing going out, (meaning seal is leaking).

|I bought a Staber to replace the Frigidaire POS that I spent hours taking apart. The replacemeent parts mentioned in this thread weren't known to me 8 months ago when I replaced the Frigidaire. All I can say is that I am very happy with the Staber. If you want to get more info, you will find it here, or you can email me at email@example.com. I have no affiliation with Staber; I just hate Frigidaire now.

The Daisy Chain or Aspirations HTML version
Chapter I.14
To thee, dear maid, each kindly wile
Was known, that elder sisters know,
To check the unseasonable smile,
With warning hand and serious brow.
From dream to dream with her to rove,
Like fairy nurse with hermit child;
Teach her to think, to pray, to love,
Make grief less bitter, joy less wild.
Sir Matthew Fleet's visit seemed like a turning-point with the May family,
rousing and giving them revived hopes. Norman began to shake off his
extreme languor and depression, the doctor was relieved from much of the
wearing suffering from his hurt, and his despondency as to Margaret's
ultimate recovery had been driven away. The experiment of taking her up
succeeded so well, that on Sunday she was fully attired, "fit to receive
company." As she lay on the sofa there seemed an advance toward recovery.
Much sweet coquetry was expended in trying to look her best for her father;
and her best was very well, for though the brilliant bloom of health was gone,
her cheeks had not lost their pretty rounded contour, and still had some
rosiness, while her large bright blue eyes smiled and sparkled. A screen shut
out the rest of the room, making a sort of little parlour round the fire, where
sundry of the family were visiting her after coming home from church in the
afternoon. Ethel was in a vehement state of indignation at what had that day
happened at school. "Did you ever hear anything like it! When the point was,
to teach the poor things to be Christians, to turn them back, because their
hair was not regulation length!"
"What's that! Who did?" said Dr. May, coming in from his own room, where
he had heard a few words.
"Mrs. Ledwich. She sent back three of the Cocksmoor children this morning. It
seems she warned them last Sunday without saying a word to us."
"Sent them back from church!" said the doctor.
"Not exactly from church," said Margaret.
"It is the same in effect," said Ethel, "to turn them from school; for if they did
try to go alone, the pew-openers would drive them out."
"It is a wretched state of things!" said Dr. May, who never wanted much
provocation to begin storming about parish affairs. "When I am churchwarden

3 reasons you should snack on popcorn

As an obsessed calorie counter I have found that olive oil with a little butter flavored sprinkles and cinnamon and truvia it tastes like a buttery sweet cinnamon roll with very few calories. Toss it up in a gallon freezer bag to ensure it is completely covered.

If you can find "Organic Corn"..GREAT! Great to pop and great for you! It is so very sad, though, that most of the corn is now Genetically Modified and full of viruses and pesticides - right in the very seed, so you are harming your body and harming the earth, the water, and .....you know it all - if you saw that "Eyeopening" movie: FOOD INC. Please see it, Please stand up against Monsanto and boycot their corn! Grab Organic and breath freely that you are not only having fun, but you are also helping the earth - and all living things! Pop away and KEEP HAPPY! IT ONLY TAKES ONE PERSON TELLING ANOTHER AND ANOTHER TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD! But it is worth it!

Here is the latest from the owner of Moabilia...
Greetings to all -
It has taken two days to get any info on this matter from a SUWA representative, and unfortunately not the representative who was/is most likely responsible for recruiting supporters. Again, in my own case, I've not signed a single notice of agreement to such a petition. I have not seen, nor had not seen or spoken to a SUWA representative before, during, or initially after said petition was created or posted in the Salt Lake Tribune or any other place in which it may have been posted. The existence of this petition was entirely unknown to me until the first day I posted in this forum or any other forum, which would have been this last Wednesday.
Also, I should state that although I've had *zero* personal communication between the SUWA representive in question at any time, I've been informed by my wife that she had some brief talk with one of them. However, she signed no document of any kind. If anything, what I can gather is that if any agreement was arrived at (and that was gotten in some rather sneaky fashion), it was done via telephone and was obtained in a semi-confusing (to her) manner.
Please permit to to elucidate the actual instance. I have now learned that while she never signed any document, she may have inadvertantly given a nod of agreement to the general picture. If you're still with me this far, I can bore you (and perhaps will infuriate you) with the details. None of this will now come easily for me, but as I am a person who tries to be thorough and always truthful, I've no choice in the matter but to state things as I have now come to understand them no matter how painful they may be. I'll write this in a categorical manner so as to list things in their respective order of appearance. The first thing which I ask you to take note of is that my wife's primary language is French and not English. (which I don't offer as any excuse, but simply as a FYI.)
1) A Suwa representative came to our place of business and asked if she would support this petition.
2) My wife inquired " what petition, what is it about?"
3) The Suwa rep verbally outlined in broad stokes the gist of the petition/open letter to the Governor.
4) My wife inquired if there was some document which she could look at.
5) The SUWA rep produced a copy of the draft which was intended to be used.
6) She read the draft as best as she could and was then asked by the rep if she would agree to it.
7) She stated she would need some time to consider it.
8) The Suwa rep departed taking the hard copy of the draft with them.
9) At some later time (undetermined/ not remembered if it was the next day or in the next few days) the SUWA rep telephoned and asked if she would support the idea.
10) Her reply was that generally speaking, the content of the petition as she understood it seemed to *seem* OK.
11) I now assume that by that telephone conversation, the rep then placed her seal of approval on the potential petition.
12) End of story; but not entirely:
Below is my view of the method and means of how Suwa goes about presenting their case or agenda:
1) The wording utilized by their Grassroots organizers is often misleading and focuses on a 'begging the question' methodology.
2) The order in which the issues presented in the actual petition are placed in a deliberately haphazard manner.
3) The exact wording used for the road/trail/highway/ portion of the petition has been constructed to be completely confusing and deliberately misleading to the casual reader.
4) A cursory examination of the document would not necessarily make these obfuscated catch-phrase ideas eminently clear to any but the more knowlegable of readers or those who've had repeated encounters with Suwa or similar organizations such as Utah Wilderness Coalition or Sierra Club, and the methods they employ.
5) On the 'positive' note (imo), given the alternative of *some* activities which seem to be on the increase - read free now, not worth a plug nickel tomorrow - one might favor some protection for any number of places which if left unmonitored or unregulated will either end up closed altogether or not worth visiting any more than a trip to a war zone or an arena in which a demolition derby had been held. I myself can see how that might be *one* instance where the petition could possibly have some merit.
At any rate, it is not easy for me to state that while I have had a great deal of experience with Suwa and such organizations, apparently my wife has not. However, she deeply regrets that she had obviously been fooled by the ways and means employed to garner her 'support'. It should be known that when the exact details of such were made clear to her, she was highly upset, and presently remains so. I suspect and would expect that this will not be of any interest to any readers though. Unfortunately, it will also probably not matter to any of you at this time that now that this agenda has been clearly laid out and she has seen how she was misled and mistaken and would not support such a petition which was written in broad strokes - especially with the 'hidden' grey areas - that she has no intent, nor has any intention to support it.
I might as well go the 'extra mile' at this point to add the following factual exchange which had subsequently transpired: When confronting the SUWA representative, my wife expressed how she was flim-flammed (my words) into a pseudo agreement with this cagily worded petition, and now had the feeling of being in the wrong place; under the wrong side of things. Had made things bad for both myself, the RR4W, and our personal friends who share our similar interests. The representative immediately countered with the following which I will attempt to quote verbatim. He stated thus: "Don't worry.... for each persons business you will lose from there, you'll get two from our side". That is not, nor is it now the point or what her (or my) feelings are about.
First of all, *If* the Representative were truly an actual believer in what they were presenting, they should probably have said something to the effect of 'Listen; in the long run and big picture you are doing something noble and in the long term it will be a benefit of immense value. You might not fully understand it or agree with it now, but believe me when I tell you that time will show you that this is true and totally worthwhile'. But no; that's not what happened... this person looked at this as strictly a matter of finances and monetary value.
Taking this one degree further in the realm of actual facts, but relating to this monetary angle. Our business is a general business (gift shop) and unfortunately not one which has ever held any special appeal to the 4 wheeling community. We have never actually made any financial gain of any note during the RR4W Moab Easter Jeep Safari or the RR4W Labor Day Campout events. This has always been the case ever since we opened our shop in 1993. Even having been a RR4W club officer in any one of the three positions I've held over the years had no special effect (which is actually right and proper in my opinion) or made any change as far as the business which we do during any event held by RR4W. That even goes beyond any event RR4W presents to include whatever number of individual 4 wheelers whether alone or in some group; semi-organized or not. The fact is that we don't market Parts,Tires, T-Shirts, Spare Ribs, Beer, Gasoline, Motel Rooms, Groceries, Towing services, or Vehicle Repairs. Therefore as a general rule, unfortunate and ironic as it is, Four wheelers have not ever been a bread-and-butter big ticket group for us. Perhaps I might wish for that to be different than it is, but the fact remains that it is just as I've stated.
At any rate, I can still truly and honestly say that we had no intent, nor have any intention of being a supporter of the SUWA petition as was made in such sweeping and dicey worded scope. I might add that the actual petition does not in any way focus on anti-access, and nowhere in that document which I have now read at least 20 times do I see it state that. I won't venture into what it does state (to me) at this point in time however.
In conclusion, and to re-cap:
1) I am a current and active member of RR4W inc.since approximately 1990.
2) Held three officer positions in RR4W:
Land-Use officer - 1993/94
Vice president - 1999/2000
President - 2000/2001
3) RR4W of the year - 2002
4) Have led/ mid-gunned / and tail-gunned trails for RR4W since appx. 1990 or 1991.
5) Have been a EJS "Big Saturday" and LDC trail leader since 1985.
6) Obtained a matching funds grant from the State of Utah - Dept. of Parks and Recreation for the purpose of marking our trails.
7) Worked in conjunction with USA-All and Utah Congress to have the Tire Size restrictions amended allowing larger tires.
8) Had near single handedly first painted and marked the fins and things trail which took me 9 days to accomplish the ~ 14 miles of trail.
(assistance to that initial trail marking was limited to 1/2 day help from one member of Americorps (who also created the now well known Stegosaurus Stencil) and one fellow RR4W member (Marty Avalos - who is also a member of this forum) who assisted me for one day.
9) Had personally cleared of boulders deliberately placed by a BLM volunteer blocking a challanging section of Fins and Things trail (with BLM approval)
10) Have personally volunteered - for no salary - and was approved by BLM to replace missing/vandalized/stolen trail signs at major junctions of many trails and roads throughout Grand county.
11) Have participated with the spearheading member (Ber Knight) of RR4W, GPS'ing and documenting 4-WD trails for the benefit of RR4W as well as Grand and San Juan counties and the BLM, and all users since 1993. Have spent ~ 3 years of my own time GPS'ing any and all trails (yes, even the so-called 'phantom roads' - there's no such thing as a phantom road/trail to my well trained eye BTW) in Grand, San Juan, Emery, and Wayne counties, Utah. As well as some areas of extreme western Colorado in the vicinity of McIntyre Canyon and surrounding areas.
12) Have participated in several Local Moab area official Search and Rescue operations.
13) Have led Trails for Jeep Jamboree - Moab for two or three years.
14) Have worked for a 4-WD tour company stationed in Moab for two or three years.
15) Have both guided and rescued individual jeepers, bikers, ATV'ers (and on one occasion a well known motorcyclist who shall remain un-named to protect the innocent. :-D ) for *zero* dollars and the sheer fun and joy of sharing and helping.
Thus, in light of all of that, it would be most unlikely for myself to support *any* SUWA (or any other) Anti-Access - or whatever one would choose to name it - petition. I hope this will serve to clarify and inform you all of my / our position.

This is a discussion on Saturday Night Club within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; So I'm hanging out with my friend who hates guns, and we decide to go to a bar. So I decide to take my gun ...
So I'm hanging out with my friend who hates guns, and we decide to go to a bar. So I decide to take my gun off me and put it in my car and leave my car with a bunch of drunk idiots. FUN!! So I do, and we go to the bar, it turns out to be a club more than a bar. He didn't have his ID so that gave me opportunity to let him know I don't really care to go to a club. I don't dance, I don't drink that often, I don't want to spend 5.00 to get in and 3.00 a drink, and its just not my scene. So we decide not to try to get in. Some kid with his thug friends were sitting on a bench said something that got under my skin. If I had a firearm I wouldn't have said anything because I wouldn't want to escalate the situation. Since I didn't have it. Knowing it would have been better to not say anything at all I did anyways, actually I stopped in my tracks and asked him what the hell does that supposed to mean. He replies, I wasn't talking to you. Which he was because he looked directly at me while he said it. So he I walk on and as I am walking he starts talking the crap like all wussies do. I keep walking and pretend like I didn't hear him which I think made him even more mad. About 20 seconds later I hear him saying hey, hey, come back, hey... I decide I don't know what this guys got in his pocket I better start jogging to my car, and in this case if he tries to corner me I am able to at the very least drive away. Now if I were still in high school I would have thrown fists with him anyday-namely mine. But I'm not I'm 24 and have a job and an apartment and bills I have to take care of I can't take a hit like that financially. I'm already much bigger than the thug as it is. I'm not affraid of him per say, but more so what he has or what his friends might do, as well as the financial and criminal repercussions. So by the time I get to my car he stopped pursuing me and I was able to drive away no further incident. Just another reminder how much I hate drunk stupid ruthless people and I think if I hadn't have been drugg out to the club to begin with I a-wouldn't have been disarmed, and b-wouldn't have come across someone who wanted to find trouble so easily. So moral of the story is- Don't go somewhere you can't bring your gun, unless you absolutely have to. As well as ignore little thug punks and places where they serve straight-alcohol.
Thought I'd share my experience maybe you can learn from it, maybe I know I sure did.
A man with a briefcase can steal millions more than any man with a gun.
No law ever prevented a crime.
A Fool refuses to protect himself, his family, and his home. - Me
it's called, "Minimizing your risks"..
"Brains before Bullets"
I avoid ALL bars. (I didn't lose anything in them). There's no popint in going where people use mind-altering substances to excess (and that usually is the case).
Perhaps you are old enough to remember the slogan on the Pall Mall cigarretes pack. "Wherever particular people congregate". When it comes to places that serve straight liquor it is "Wherever peculiar people congregate". That's a good summation of the "saloon scene". Thes are places where people look for (and routinely find) trouble.
Minimizing risk is always a good thing. If a bar is not your scene, there is nothing wrong with that. I'm sorry though for those who assume every establishment is filled with people looking for trouble---not to say any previous poster feels that way. In MY experience, the pubs and bars I go to have people who just want to grab a few drinks and food while talking or watching a game. Nothing wrong with that, IMO. Live a little.
A government resting on the minority is an aristocracy, not a Republic, and could not be safe with a numerical and physical force against it, without a standing army, an enslaved press and a disarmed populace. ---James Madison, The Federalist Papers

White's notion that the journalists of Venezuela are trying "to maintain" some sort of professionalism is absurd, since most of them never acquired it in the first place.
No tradition of independent journalism exists in Latin America; journalists invariably back rightwing generals or utopian socialists according to taste.
Chávez's response to the 2002 coup was far from "intemperate"- the popular demand was for him to close down the media empires that had helped organise his overthrow.
They are there to this day, campaigning for the opposition together with White's "independent" journalists. None of this would matter, were their tendentious views not so frequently echoed by foreign journalists in Caracas.

Shortly after Arsène Wenger first sparked Friday's furore, and a few hours before Jose Mourinho dramatically escalated it all, the Arsenal manager was asked a more elementary question. His response now feels so much richer, because of what transpired and the specific choice of word used. It was almost prescient, serving as a perfect pre-emptive rebuttal.
Given that he has not properly challenged for a trophy since 2011, does Wenger subscribe to the view a side has to go close to victory before finally achieving it?
"You learn from failure, that is for sure," Wenger smiled. "Especially intelligent people. Some stupid [people] never [learn]. The definition of stupidity, they make always the same mistakes."
The comment brought a chuckle at the time. Little was Wenger to know the controversy that exact same word would cause later that day, with Mourinho describing him as a "specialist in failure". Wenger could at least jokingly point to some benefits of that.
Beyond that superficial pantomime, however, the issue of learning from failure and always making the same mistakes does have deeper relevance for today's FA Cup tie at the Emirates. It may be decisive.
While it would be ludicrous to describe a man as bright as Wenger as "stupid", stubbornness is another problem altogether. Last week's 5-1 evisceration at Anfield almost seemed a case study in not acting on mistakes, even if some were those made by others. Despite repeated warnings from Liverpool's wins over Everton and Tottenham Hotspur, and despite Luis Suarez and the rest of that attack scoring so freely, Wenger still felt his team could largely impose their own game to win.
It has been one of the Arsenal manager's main flaws over the past few years. He generally refuses to re-adjust his team to cater for the opposition, other than making cosmetic changes. It badly cost him last week at Anfield. Leaving Liverpool that kind of space in behind proved disastrous as Arsenal's possession played into Brendan Rodgers's hands.
Whether Wenger has learned from that for today will be telling. It may also have a significant say in how his team's campaign eventually plays out.
Although this afternoon's FA Cup tie is notionally the least significant "big game" in this long run of difficult fixtures, it could prove the most meaningful. A number of elements imbue it with greater importance.
For one, there is the timing. Arsenal got this testing period off to the worst possible start with that woeful defeat at Anfield, and then a fearful failure to beat Manchester United. FA Cup elimination would perpetuate an ominous tone, especially with Wednesday's daunting match against Bayern Munich to come, and a replay could be even more problematic.
Secondly, there is the unique opportunity this competition offers to a side that have gone so long without a trophy. After this round, two of the Premier League's current top four will have been knocked out, along with United and Tottenham Hotspur. It presents a genuine chance to even go close, and earn that experience that Wenger acknowledged as so important.
What sort of message would it send to squander that opportunity? It would seem like same old, same old, with Arsenal making the same mistakes and suffering the same type of season.
Victory, by the same token, could change everything. In that, these are four days which could determine their campaign.
"Part of it," Wenger accepted. "It's like the guy who goes to the Olympic Games and after four years he prepares his one race that will decide his success, that's it. I think we have done quality until now and that we have just to continue to focus on the quality and expect that the quality of our game will decide the results."
Whatever he says about building up to this point of the race, Wenger disputes the idea that it is this stage of the season which sees his team fall away, regardless of what happened in 2008 or 2011.
"We are very much more mature than we were at the time but you know people say we collapsed, we crumbled – we never collapsed. We had some disappointments but if you collapse you finish 10th in the League... we never crumbled, we always finished strong."
Whether that happens this season may well depend on the strength of team Wenger puts out today. With those kind of stakes, it would again seem stubbornly mistaken to save the highest quality for a Bayern tie with a far higher chance of defeat.
Here, Santi Cazorla's illness may force Wenger's hand, with the manager admitting Mesut Özil could be involved. When asked whether the German could put last week's individual horror show behind him, Wenger was defiant. "He will."
He couldn't fail to say it.
Mertesacker means business
Per Mertesacker has called for focus during Arsenal's run of high-profile matches. "There is no special way to do more or less, when you behave like a professional you have to continue what do you do through the whole season so you are ready for these big clashes," the German said in the Arsenal matchday programme.
"If there are four big games coming up, you have to isolate each game and take one at a time. You have to switch on quickly and try to switch off for maybe 24 hours and then [get] switched on again.
"We have shown that through the season we have the ability to make these games special for us."

There is a bulge above my incision line and I am wondering if this is still swelling or if it still a roll of fat. I do have stretch marks there so my other question is that if it is swelling will the skin sag once the swelling goes down? The bulge seems to have gotten smaller as time has gone on but I am still worried about it. PS says that it is normal since they took 5lbs of skin/fat during the operation and that it is still too early yet to know the final result. Still, I am worried.

8.5 Weeks PO Full TT with Muscle Repair and Lipo of the Flanks?
To me your result is excellent! How long did it take you to appear as you do in your pre operative photo? YEARS!!! So ONLY 8.5 weeks after and LOOK how good you look! Best to allow 4 months healing time and try some 10 pounds weight loss to improve the result even more.
Swelling after tummy tuck
You do look good at this point so early after surgery. At 3 months you should see what the results really will be like. Some time swelling sticks around a long time. A seroma needs to be drained if present and will keep things swollen for a long time if not drained. Your doctor should be able to take care of this for you. Good Luck!
Healing and Swelling After Tummy Tuck
Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on these pictures it appears that your plastic surgeon has done a very nice job for you. He will continue to be your best resource when it comes to addressing the specific concerns that you have.
Generally speaking, abdominal wall "swelling" after tummy tuck may be related to:
1. Swelling in the soft tissues. This may take several months to resolve and may worsen with increased activity or at the end of the day. Patience is required to allow for resolution of the swelling. The swelling occurs because of the interruption of venous and lymphatic channels that occurs during the tummy tuck operation.
2. Fluid accumulation in the space between the skin and the abdominal wall muscle. this may consist of blood ( hematoma) or serum (seroma). This fluid accumulation can generally be diagnosed by physical examination ( occasionally ultrasound may be helpful). Treatment consists of aspiration; several episodes of aspiration may be necessary.
3. Separation of the abdominal wall muscle repair may lead to a swelling/bulge appearance. This may be diagnosed on physical examination with your surgeon examining you in different bodily positions. One of the steps of a tummy tuck procedure involves reapproximation (plication) of the rectus muscles. These muscles have spread apart during pregnancy and/or weight gain. Bringing them together again in the midline helps to "tighten" the abdominal wall as well as to narrow the waistline.
4. Residual adipose tissue may be confused for swelling. Again this is most easily diagnosed by physical examination. Additional liposuction surgery maybe necessary to improve the results of surgery.
Generally, it takes many months for swelling to resolve after tummy tuck surgery and it may take up to one year (or greater) a complete skin redraping to occur.
I hope this helps.

Persistent bulge after abdominal liposuction and full tummy tuck
At 8 1/2 weeks postoperative bulging can be the result of persistent swelling, residual fat, or seroma fluid. Photos are helpful. But, without the benefit of a face to face exam it will be difficult to provide you with an accurate assessment of your condition. A visit with your plastic surgeon or another surgeon in your area should give you the answer to your question. Thank you for sharing your photos and concerns. Best wishes.

Thank you, McDonald's, for endangering my child's life with your carelessness!!!!!!
I went to get some breakfast this morning, and got the boys all set up in their chairs ready to eat. I went to step out of the room for a brief moment and as i was leaving i heard Benjamin, my 16 month old, start gagging. I looked up and his face was red, and he was choking, so I rushed to his side, and had to shove my fingers down his throat and make him vomit. Up comes half chewed, slobbery McMuffin, and A FUCKING CHUNK OF PLASTIC!!!!!!!! My one year old has respiratory issues and gets choked up very easily, i cant stand to think of what could have happened if i hadnt caught it in time!!! I am LIVID, and literally STILL shaking an hour later. I called the cooperate office via the advice of my brother inlaw (a police officer) and they are supposed to forward the information to the franchisers office, and have someone contact me. I also called my lawyers office and spoke with her paralegal about the incident. I am not one to raise a big stink over things, but People need to know about this carelessness. I work food service and i know first hand the ONLY excuse for something like this is not caring enough to pay attention!!! It does not take long to LOOK at what you are doing or make sure you got the wrapper off of something when you KNOW it is going in to the hands of the public. My child could have been seriously injured or worse because of this!!!!!!!!
I agree, but I never expect it from McDonalds, the three in our town pay squat, hire 90% non-English speaking workers, and are filthy. Literally, you need to point to the items you want, they can't even take orders correctly, I would only go there in an emergency (and I can't think of what that would be). My kids go there, but it's their money, so I don't say much.
Quoting Risley_Six:
We seriously, never do fast food. I got a brand new vehicle yesterday and wanted an excuse to drive it lol and was like "ooohh,, i can go through drivethrus now!" because the window in my old van doesnt roll down. I myself work at a subway, and quality is our number one concern. Granted, we are much smaller than mcdonalds, with only 9 or 10 employees, and not as busy, but it is not hard to just pay attention to what you are doing, its really just common sense.Quoting Arwyn724:
I'm going to be the bad guy, but...
a) it's McDonalds, do your kids really need McMuffins?
b) minimum pay workers do not have the same concerns with the quality of service, it's McDonalds
c) I never put food in front of a child (especially ones young enough to be in high chairs) without thoroughly checking it, after all, it's McDonalds

oh my glad your little guy is ok we eat at mcdonalds alot with my boys
PLEASE UNDERSTAND im NOT criticizing because ive been in this situation before, my son almost died on a piece of candy a couple yrs ago. he only lived because my dh and i both knew infant heimlich procedure, i started and dh took over halfway through and finally got it out, by the time it did come up he was turning blue. paramedics confirmed any hesitation or anything done differently and he wouldve died right there in our arms.
im only chiming in to suggest maybe going to a fire station and requesting they do a short demonstration on proper infant heimlich, that way if anything ever happens again you will know exactly the most effective and safest way to do it. they will do it for free with no hassle. its an incredibly valuable skill to have and its better to know it and not need it, than need it and not know it. so glad your baby is ok.
Quoting Risley_Six:
I panicked and did the best i could in an emergency situation. i have no regrets, as NOT making him throw it up could have seriously harmed him. He was choking and i did what my instincts told me to do.
Quoting Schauseil:
Thats aweful. NEVER force someone to vomit while choking or do a blind sweep, you could have made the situation worse.
Quoting Risley_Six:
he was gagging, i shoved my fingers in his mouth and made him puke, and mcmuffin and plastic came out. maybe i shouldnt have gagged him but i acted before i thought. i cant believe people are actually criticizing me as if , as a mother, you have never acted on instinct. he had not fully swallowed his food, it was still lodged in his throat, so it all came up when he gagged hard. Then the contents of his stomach followed suit and we had a nice, milky, mcmuffiny mess all over the highchair, if you must know the details.
Quoting mom_3.0:
If he was choking, the piece would be lodged in his trachea. When you vomit, your stomach contents come up through your esophagus. Not seeing how making him vomit would release the piece. In fact, I can only see it making things worse.
So glad your baby is ok!! My boys all got a rare bug that is found in Saudi Arabia, and food poisoning in the same trip once. Since then we have not eaten at a McD's. Gross...
So glad everything turned out ok!!
Quoting momma0ffive:
glad he is ok, but why is a one year old eating a Mcmuffin
Quoting becky.riley:
That's exactly what I was thinking. That and calling a lawyer is a bit extreme.
Quoting Arwyn724:
I'm going to be the bad guy, but...
a) it's McDonalds, do your kids really need McMuffins?
b) minimum pay workers do not have the same concerns with the quality of service, it's McDonalds
c) I never put food in front of a child (especially ones young enough to be in high chairs) without thoroughly checking it, after all, it's McDonalds
I found a plastic bag in my drink when I was a kid. They told my mom that they "didn't know I hadn't put it in there." She didn't ask for anything but they were just so "so what? we're not going to do anything or give you anything." right away it was rude.

➡ About "Be Patient"
After finishing the University and a Screen Writing master, I was still very concerned about my professional future. Spain and me were in crisis (actually Spain still in). I didn't know what to do, what I was good at: television producer, film maker, video editor, Bolshoi dancer, dog walker, vloger cat lover...
Suddenly, this idea popped up in my mind: One simple and true message for the world (myself included). I BELIEVE IN ME, no matter what.

Their raison d'etre: to provide access to information for their users is on the one hand being enabled by new technologies and developments, and on the other is being hindered by copyright restrictions. New developments in libraries, learning and teaching, such as electronic short loan collections, computer aided learning packages, distance learning packages and so on, all seek to provide better educational support for students. However to include readypublished material in all these services requires copyright clearance. Quotes such as "Copyright was seen as a major barrier to the scaling up of electronic short loan"1, and "one of the most taxing concerns for courseware developers…is to...obtain the legitimate use of existing copyright works to include in new products"2 abound in the library and related literature. In fact, the current legal and legislative framework makes copyright clearance an essential library activity. Description: This is a report 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z


text: COLLEGE STATION, Texas, May 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a groundbreaking move that provides new insight into avian evolution, biology and conservation, researchers at Texas A&M University have successfully sequenced the complete genome of a Scarlet macaw for the first time. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120502/DC99584LOGO) The team was led by Drs. Christopher Seabury and Ian Tizard at the Schubot Exotic Bird Health Center in the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M. Their work is published in the current issue of the open access and peer-reviewed scientific journal PLOS ONE ( http://www.plosone.org/). The bird selected for the sequencing was a female named "Neblina" who lives in the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa. Neblina is believed to be from Brazil. She was confiscated during a raid on illegally imported exotic birds by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1995. Tizard says that a blood sample was taken from Neblina, DNA was extracted for sequencing, and after a series of steps, the sequence of the genome was assembled by Seabury and his team. "The final analysis showed that there are about one billion DNA bases in the genome, which is about one-third of that found in mammals," Tizard explains. "Birds have much less DNA than mammals primarily because they do not possess nearly as much repetitive DNA." The final completed genome demonstrates some similarities to that of the chicken. "But there are significant differences at both the genome and biological level," he adds. For example, "Macaws can fly great distances, while chickens can't. In addition, brain development and volume are very different in macaws, which is unsurprising since they are very intelligent birds compared to chickens. Likewise, macaws can live many years, while chickens usually do not, and therefore, our macaw genome sequence may help shed light on the genetic factors that influence longevity and intelligence."

I noticed some articles starting to appear in the Australian Press regarding RPI , which is very encouraging. Expats like me trust and love the BBC, where I picked this story up from and have been following it for some months.
I was shocked to learn that Programming was no longer taught in schools ! As someone at school in the early eighties, my parents would pick the school's Commodore PET up on Friday's so I could use it over the weekend. That's before I got my Spectrum. But at least these machines were hands on, I still rememeber typing in an Assembler from a book !
Twenty five years later and I'm working in IT, with Coding and Design seen as some sort of exercise before months of Testing to get the code right. That really get's to me, it's so inefficient. Everything is way to complicated and so many "monsters" are being created, even for simple tasks.
Are there any plans to import to Australia as I would like to become involved ? (not for a financial gain). I am keen to get RPI back in Education and am looking forward to getting one myslef - I feel inspired !
Have you contacted the British Computer Society ? (bcs.org) - I am a Chartered Member.
Please let me know your thoughts. I will be back in the UK in Sep/Oct visting family about an hour from Cambridge, it would be great to meet up !
p.s. It could make for some great Science Fiction - how about approaching the writers of Doctor Who and make the RPI a Storyline ( a computer for good, like Zen and Orac in Blake's7) . That would get you plenty of exposure !

A 'Silent Agreement' Between Batterers and Their Victims?
An Israeli academic has come up with a theory about domestic violence that is, at once, extremely disturbing and somewhat hopeful.
Eila Perkis of the University of Haifa's School of Social Work claims in a new paper that violence between couples is usually the result of a calculated decision-making process.
Her theory is that neither partner sits down and plans when he or she will swear or lash out at the other, but there is a sort of "silent agreement" standing between the two on what limits of violent behavior are acceptable, where the red line is drawn, and where behavior beyond that could be dangerous. (She stresses that this in no way excuses violence.)
In short, while violent partners often describe their behavior as "loss of control," this doesn't tell the whole story; rather, she's says, it is conduct of a pre-determined kind triggered by anger or conflict.
According to Perkis, backing up her theory facts, such as that violent partners, in other areas of their lives, are often law abiding citizens who are able to maintain self control, and that violent partners normally keep their violence within certain limits. These limits, she claims, are calculated according to the potential fallout — that is, most partners stop before actions that would spark police involvement or the collapse of the partnership.
So while, if Perkis' theory is to be believed, it's grim on the one hand that violence between partners is pre-decided, but encouraging in a sense that violent partners do give thought to red lines; it indicates that there is hope for "zero tolerance" campaigns do get partners to draw the line at any violent conduct.
Perhaps most significantly, Perkis also claims that her findings could help therapists trying halt violence between couples they are counseling.

What could be more romantic than ending the day with a kiss—a chocolate one. The chocolate kiss is submerged in a cookie dough, a surprise inside a tiny, round bundle. The cookies freeze well.
Makes 3 dozen
3/4 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
36 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Sifted powdered sugar
Combine the shortening and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg and the extracts, mixing well. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pecans. Add to the creamed mixture, stirring until well blended.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Shape the batter into 36 1-inch balls. Press each ball around a chocolate kiss, covering completely. Arrange the bonbons on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until just starting to turn a light golden color. Cool slightly on wire racks. Roll the cookies in powdered sugar while still slightly warm, then cool completely before serving.

Astros Take Advantage Of Mistakes, End Rays Winning Streak
Saturday showed how a single mistake could change around the prospects of a game.
Chris Archer's fielding error in the third inning led to five unearned runs, helping the Houston Astros end the Rays two-game winning streak with a 7-3 decision at Minute Maid Park.
Tampa Bay got on the board in the top of the first inning, as Kevin Kiermaier lined a double down the right-field line with one out off Jarred Cosart, then scored on a base hit by Longoria that George Springer could not field cleanly.
Archer faced the minimum through the first two innings, but started the third by giving up a one-out double to Marwin Gonzalez. Jonathan Villar lined out to Ben Zobrist for the second out, and it appeared that Archer was going to get out of the inning with no damage when Dexter Fowler grounded to James Loney, but Archer could not handle Loney's throw and Gonzalez scored to tie the game.
Archer then hit George Springer with a pitch, walked Jon Singleton to load the bases, and walked Jason Castro to give Houston the lead.
Matt Dominguez then cleared the bases with a double to start the rout and make it a 5-1 game.
Archer (3-4) was able to get out of the third, but left after walking Gonzalez to lead off the fourth. Cesar Ramos then gave up a hit to Villar, and Fowler brought in both runners for a 7-1 lead.
Longoria's two-run homer in the fifth off Cosart brought Tampa Bay back to within 7-3, but Tampa Bay could get no closer, as the Houston righthander worked through seven complete frames.
Tampa Bay can still take the series with a victory in Sunday's finale, as David Price (4-6, 3.97 ERA) takes on Brad Peacock (2-4, 4.50 ERA). Coverage begins at noon with the Suncoast Hyundai Dealers Inside Pitch, with first pitch scheduled for 2:10.

Everything You Thought You Knew About Metadata…
The cover is the most important metadata element. For sales, no other element comes close.
This is ONIX. This is your book on ONIX.
The Metadata Handbook, by Renée Register and Thad McIlroy. Published by DataCurate, 2012.
It's no surprise that there's a lot of confusion around metadata for books. It's complicated. If only they hadn't used the "M" word—metadata. It reeks of digital complexity. And then you read the standard definition: "Metadata is data about data." Gee, thanks. As if your eyes hadn't already glazed over.
Here's what metadata really is: It's all of the title information that used to reside just in your title catalog and your EDI (electronic data interchange) system, like Pubnet. Since online selling became tops for combined digital and physical books, the title information became paramount, as it's the only way publishers can guarantee online retailers list their books correctly.
To put it another way: Metadata is your book online.
Online, your customers can't grab a copy off the shelf, read the back cover blurb, and thumb through the pages to scan a selection of the text. That's all metadata now: The back cover becomes the title description. The advance reviews are carefully tagged for online. "About the author" is now a separate web page on Amazon.com. And that's the easy part!
Read this story in our digital edition, or download Book Business' iOS app to get free access to all our great magazine content on your tablet.
More challenging are, for example, making sure that the online preview doesn't waste precious pages on the prelims; that your author Brian Smith doesn't link by mistake to Brian W. Smith, author of My Husband's Love Child—a Novella; that the video shows up online; and many more concerns.
Basic metadata is pretty easy, but ONIX, the metadata standard, now defines more than 200 fields. And these days there's intermediate metadata, and then there's advanced.
Today we're going to test your skills: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
You Think You're A Beginner
You've got the basics in hand—if you're in the U.K. you know they're called BIC Basic in the U.S., it's BISAC Core Data Elements. Did you know:
Thad McIlroy is a publishing consultant and president of The Future of Publishing.
Thad McIlroy
Since this article went to press I've been doing some work on metadata ROIs with Michael McGill, a student in the Masters of Publishing program at Pace. We also looked at the staffing issues that are getting in the way of metadata practice. I reported the results here: http://thefutureofpublishing.com/2013/01/the-roi-on-metadata-for-books/
