By Chris Harris
Thomas Vermaelen believes the work he has done off the pitch this season will make him a better defender when he finally returns to action.
The Belgian centre back has spent the last seven months on the sidelines after suffering an ongoing tendon injury and, although he is making tentative steps towards a first-team comeback, Vermaelen is not expected to feature again this term.
The 25-year-old has missed the chance to test himself against the best at home and in Europe but he has taken the opportunity to examine his game and address his weaknesses.
"I've learned a lot [while I've been out]," said Vermaelen. "Mentally for sure, but I also had the time to work on some of my weaknesses. Things you do not have time for when you play a lot of games.
"I saw Chelsea, Man United, Tottenham, Barcelona passing me by - top games for sure. And that's frustrating: you want to be on the pitch. In the stands, especially against Barcelona, you feel more tension than on the field. I was quite nervous, I noticed, even during the return match I watched on TV. I wanted so badly that we went through.
"But on the other hand, on television and in the stands you have a better view of the game. You can learn from the positioning of other defenders, while watching them. And that's what I did."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

@Sean I put over 600 hours on the wii version and I still hate the under water parts. I didn't let that stop me from enjoying the game. You can also get to fight a good deal of those underwater parts on land as well. If you enjoyed the demo at all you should give it a shot at least.

text: Alright so I was thinking of how many people do engine swaps and drivetrain swaps etc, and I was thinking how cool would it be to put a 3.2L VR6 .:R32 engine in a B5.5 Passat?! A whole transmission and 4-Motion swap would be done as well. Or even put a 3.6L VR6 engine in from the new CC's. Now that would be pretty sweet. I'm just wondering what ideas are out there and opinions about this. This wouldn't happen for a while, but just to get an idea and maybe start a budget for it.

Great info, thanks a bunch! I need to pick up those books for some light reading ;)Quote:
Best advice is to change one thing at a time.
If your tire pressures are correct, you have no preload in the rear sway bar and you are aligned correctly then reducing rear roll stiffness will in theory reduce oversteer.
You can reduce your rear roll stiffness by doing a few things. Changing the effective lever arm on the sway bar will change the torsional stiffness of the sway bar. Changing your spring rates with the current spring location will all so change the roll stiffness. If you change both spring location AND spring rate, talk to someone who has done it so you know where to start or then you will start changing more than one thing.
If you do get an adjustable sway bar then this is the quickest and easiest way to tune the car while at the track.
Read all of Carroll Smith's books, Prepare, Tune, Engineer and Drive to Win. Chassis Engineering by Herb Adams is a great one too.

Hello all,
New to the Kansas forum and just wanted to introduce myself and ask a couple of quick questions. I've only been duck hunting for the past couple of years and every since the first time I went on the coast of Texas I have been hooked. I mainly hunt the colorado river because like several of your KS rivers it doesn't cost anything as long as you obey the rules. Nothing like paddling out in the dark to get setup and the sound when a flock comes in on the decoys.
Anyway, I am heading up to the in-laws in smith county for the holidays (will need a diversion and no one drinks so ducks and shotguns will have to do...) and wondered if there are any rivers that can be hunted in that area. I will have access to a couple of small private ponds but really prefer the river.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and I am not asking for specific spots just if there are any rivers in that area that are not private. I will check with Parks and Wildlife as well.

'The thing about money is that when you have it you don't need it and when you need it you don't have it," my grandfather used to tell me. He could have said the same thing about wind power. It's most abundant when demand for energy is lowest and least abundant when demand is highest. No amount of subsidy, no amount of federal or state regulation can change this simple fact.
Because of this, wind power can never live up to its advocates' promises.
They would have us believe that subsidizing wind energy can improve U.S. energy security. But since wind turbines can't be strapped to the top of your car, it isn't clear how.
Most of America's electrical power is produced from domestic energy sources, with coal, natural gas and hydroelectric accounting for 75 percent of our total power generation. The United States is either self-sufficient or soon will be in all of them.
At the same time, wind power carries its own set of energy security problems. The next generation of wind turbines will require 6,614 pounds of copper and 95.24 pounds of rare earth minerals per megawatt capacity of generation.
The United States now imports 35 percent of its copper and is facing increased competition for these resources from rival China, which already accounts for 40 percent of global demand.
Wind energy subsidy advocates claim that subsidies help create jobs. Subsidized wind power generation doesn't create jobs; it simply redistributes jobs to a much smaller group of people. Subsidized wind power only "creates" jobs by displacing workers in the more efficient conventional energy sectors and the general economy. That's been the case in every country it's been tried.
Spain's renewable energy programs destroyed 2.2 jobs for every one they've created; the United Kingdom's green energy programs destroyed 3.7 jobs for every one they created; and Italy could have either created 6.9 jobs in the conventional energy sectors or 4.8 jobs in the general economy for the money it spent creating each renewable job, according to Italy's prestigious Bruno Leoni Institute.
Wind subsidy proponents argue that wind energy will help significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but just how isn't clear. Because wind power is intermittent and unpredictable, adding wind power to our power generation makes it less efficient and, consequently, more likely to produce - not reduce - emissions. This occurs because wind offers the most power when it is in greatest supply, driving electricity prices down in the short term and prompting power companies to retire less profitable base load and intermediate power plants. This makes power companies even more reliant on less efficient, more costly, fossil fuel backup generation when wind turbines are often idle.
To put it another way: If wind subsidies fall, the American people will reap a windfall.
Yes, they're a waste of taxpayer money

I have been one of those lurking around this site and reading other people's reviews. Now that I have had my surgery and I'm back home, I feel I should write my own review. I hope it helps someone to make a decision as so many people's reviews helped me make up my mind.
Before I delve into it, I would like to talk about the recovery house I stayed in, the real recovery hotel or recovery Armonia:
I had a great time staying there and now that I'm home, I actually miss all the pampering; meals in bed, help before I even anticipate it, freshly squeezed juice, midday fruit snacks with yoghurt etc. They always ask you what you want to eat specifically, which is a big plus because initially you won't have appetite for mass cooked food. The nurse assistance and support was really great, Ruth and Pattraia were there to meet every need no matter how small. Everybody around including the chef and driver were always smiling, jovial (despite the language barrier) humble, ready to help and never made me feel anyhow or embarrassed for needing assistance no matter the time of day. The owner Mayra was always coming to ask if I needed anything extra. If you have your surgery with Dr Yily, Dr Ana comes to the house for all your post-op follow ups, so you don't have to go back to CIPLA if you don't want to. The frequency was also a lot more because she was always there like every other day and will see you even if she came for another purpose. The Recovery House also has a great emergency service. For instance, I had to be taken back to CIPLA 2 days after surgery. An ambulance was called and I was pretty amazed by the speedy response, I got to Cipla was taken straight to a room and had a doctor and 2 nurses already waiting for me. I don't know if everything happened quickly because it was a doctor (Dr Ana) that called in the emergency, but I was very impressed. So ladies, where you choose to stay for recovery matters a lot, especially if there is any post-surgical complication.
My only minor warning if you are planning to stay there is: take your meds before they come to give it to you, because they would put it in their hands to give me, which I wasn't comfortable with. Sometimes you may have to remind Ruth to wear a glove, she was very good with it, but sometimes I guess she forgets.
I will talk about my surgery experience with some pictures in my next post.

You can do this.
Seriously, you can.
Here are my "Top 5 Tips" to keep you on track:
- Your entire collection does not need to survive 200+ years. That means you don't have to give all of it the Cadillac treatment. Invest only in the shots that mean the most to you. And by invest I mean invest real money in high quality enclosures, and invest time to write the stories behind your photographs.
- Lose the dreck. Don't be afraid to edit. Don't apologize for being choosy. You're not doing future generations any favors by leaving the editing up to them. Especially since each further generation will know fewer and fewer names…and they might not know any of the stories behind the photos.
- Big projects are scary. Just remember: "Baby steps, baby steps, baby steps." Every step forward is progress. Every. Single. One.
- Break your project into chunks (see #3) but keep in mind that the smaller the chunks, the longer it will take to complete your project. Reserve half a day for this project and you'll see some real, visible progress. And real progress is the BEST motivator.
- The more fun you have doing it, the more often you will work on your project. Crank your favorite music while you work. Or take advantage of the buddy system and schedule a monthly photo date with a friend who lives in town but who you don't see often enough. Or host a brunch and call it a photo bee. Whatever works best for you. FIND THE FUN.
..:: Pssst….Is it January? If the answer is yes, that means you can purchase my "How to DeClutter Your Photos Like an Archivist" kit. It has all the hand tools you need for this project, plus archival storage for up to 1,000 keeper photos and hours of instruction from me so you know you're doing it right. "Lose the drek, treat the keepers right."

From the author of The Fat Girl's Guide to Life—an insightful and humorous memoir of one woman's quest to navigate the world of alternative healing.
At age 33, Wendy Shanker was on the verge of Have It All-itis: a Midwestern girl living in Manhattan, writing for television, mingling with celebrities, and publishing her first book. Plus, she had a fierce haircut. Life was good. Then suddenly, it wasn't.
Diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, Wendy knew she was in for it- at the very least a cocktail of chemo and steroids (certain to challenge her body image), a bustling career put on hold, and a major hurdle to her dating life. When she ran out of medical options, Wendy found herself exploring everything from acupuncture, colonics, and energy healing to detox retreats, tarot card readers, and an intuitive therapist who wanted her to talk to her liver. Surely there must be a guru somewhere who can fix everything-right? Watch a Video

Dear Diary,
When I was younger I didn't have much time for writing as I was busy off somewhere chasing things the humans told me were imaginary...but I won't talk about that now. Only one thing, if they were imaginary, they sure smelled real in the grass!
I was adopted by my Mommy when I was but 4 1/2 weeks old and I weighed but 4 pounds. Dear Diary, Wow...have I made up for that now! There were 5 puppies in my family...4 boys and me, so you can imagine how tough I learned to be early on. They would gang up on me and sit on me till I howled and howled, then they would chase me and it was scary since they were all bigger than me. My Mama would stop them and take special care of me cuz I was her little baby girl. Even now, I ask my Mommy to call me her little baby girl and know what? she does!
Dear Diary, I am a little tired for tonight and feel a nap coming on so I can get up bright and early and check out who and what has been in my yard overnight...the scoundrels. Someday, yes someday, I will finally have chased all of them far away never to return.
Good Night, Dear Diary......
Love from Ali

— Hemy Neuman has already admitted to gunning down the husband of a woman with whom he allegedly had an affair. Now, he's pleading insanity — and saying "angels" in the form of vintage music stars compelled him to shoot.
Neuman's defense lawyers insist he was insane when he shot Rusty Sneiderman, a 36-year-old father of two, in broad daylight outside his own son's suburban Atlanta preschool, in November 2010. The defense is arguing that Neuman, bipolar and suffering from psychosis, was visited by a demon sounding like Barry White and an angel with a voice like Olivia Newton-John when he fired and hit Sneiderman three times in the chest at close range in front of Dunwoody Prep.
"If this case wasn't so serious, resulting in the death of a good man and the destruction of multiple families and a community in Dunwoody, then this would be laughable," said Esther Panitch, the lawyer for Neuman's estranged wife, on TODAY Wednesday. "But unfortunately, this is a tragedy. For Mr. Neuman to come out nine months after he pleaded not guilty to now decide he's seeing demons and angels is insulting.''
Neuman's estranged wife is a potential witness for the prosecution in its attempt to discredit his insanity plea.
As the murder trial got underway Tuesday, the prosecution painted Neuman as a cold-blooded killer who was having an affair with the murdered man's widow, Andrea Sneiderman.
"The man wanted someone else's wife, so he killed her husband and got caught,'' a prosecutor said in court.
Sneiderman, 39, was pressed on the stand Tuesday about the alleged affair with Neuman, who was her supervisor at GE Energy. Sneiderman claimed he made passes at her and sent romantic emails, which she never reported, but that there was no affair. He reportedly gave her chocolate and flowers, and the two took business trips together, but Sneiderman claims they did nothing more than hold hands.
"I think I'm a pretty nice person,'' she said on the stand. "I'm a very caring person. I did nothing but try to help Hemy Neuman. I suggested to him to seek counseling in his marriage, suggested that he not move out of his home.''
"In the courtroom there were a lot of people who believe Andrea was lying on the stand,'' Panitch told Carl Quintanilla Wednesday. "She seems to have had selective amnesia when confronted with emails by the prosecutors indicating that Mr. Neuman loved her. I don't know about you, but if a boss of mine sent me an email telling me he loved me multiple times, it's not something I'd be likely to forget.''
Neuman had earlier been caught by police snooping outside the Sneidermans' home while wearing a mask. The night before the murder, Andrea Sneiderman called Neuman three times, once for 18 minutes, according to the prosecution.
When workers at the daycare center called Andrea Sneiderman following the shooting to say "something had happened'' to Rusty, she called her family first, then made six calls to Neuman. On Tuesday, the prosecution asked, why didn't she call her husband?
"Because they just told me something happened to Rusty, what are the chances he'd answer his cell phone?'' she said.

Californians Can Now File State Taxes
California tax filing season is now open for business. And according to the Franchise Tax Board, business is already brisk.
California has launched its tax filing season way ahead of the IRS.
"We have received promptly around 1,200 e-file tax returns," Dan Tahara with the Franchise Tax Board said.
Most who file early have a reason, he said.
"They want to get those returns in as fast as possible and get that money back in their pockets," he said.
Tahara says tax rates and exemption credits are adjusted for inflation, which is a good thing for some.
"For people who make the same, or close to what they made last year, they'll actually pay less in taxes," Tahara said.
Tahara says 80 percent of Californians now e-file their state taxes, which he says is faster, safer and if you have direct deposit, you can receive your refund in seven to 10 days.

There is a singularity at x = 1 and your expression isn't real

Where to look for a spray foam machine....
...... I am looking for something to do my home 6000+ sqftage of roof to be done with walls and the I can turn around and sell it. I am looking for something above entry level but something I can learn to use easily and then pass on after by selling it to the next person.
Anyone know of anyone?
dont you need to be certified to do spray foam?
No and to bring someone in will cost me between 30-45 thousand. I can but little tanks but would prefer to go with a machine and then do the resell.
I am going to call the company and see how much 1 'tube' covers
I have found one on Craiglist too. 12k worth 25 he says heated hose, sounds promising
Off Topic Here. Does anyone know how I can fight a ban on the CT forum?
Dont forget your negative pressure respirator/bunny suit as you dont want to breathe the sprayfoam vapors while spraying.
Soythane is the only gig Ive seen that is above spray can level but below the full size commercial spray rig.
For example, We install various materials by various different manufacturers. For logistical reasons, when installing single ply roofing, we often opt for Versico. We are not certified by Versico, but their product is easier to get. We install a lot of it and we do it right. We can not sell their extended warrantys which are extremely common on commercial. Therefore if someone wants the manufacturer no dollar limit warranty, we sell genflex which we are certified by.
Certified and licensed should not be confused, the two are not the same. Typically a license will be issued by a governmental body who often times will have a test involved and will usually check for bonding and insurance.
The forum for Contractors ONLY ?
Are you a contractor ?
And Thanks Guys I got may machine. Soythane.com REALLY APPRECIATE IT
Be forwarned about running a spray foam machine yourself- the foam expands like crazy. Make sure you have done your research before you begin. If you get some of this material in your lungs, you can die. For example, breath in an amount equal to a nail head, by the time it gets done expanding, you will have a golf ball in your lungs.

URGENT! Connecticut Suggestions for tomorrow.
Hey I'm going boarding tomorrow and I was planning on going to Mohawk Mountain but I just found out they don't have a terrain park. That's not all I plan on doing but I want to hit some tabletops at least a little bit. Does anybody know where the best place to go would be within about an hour and a half of Hartford, CT?
I put urgent cuz I kind of need to make a decision within the next couple of hours. Thanks guys.
Hunter mountain in new york should be about an hour and half
hope you get this, but the conditions are gonna be shit its been raining like a siv all the way up to jay peak....:eek:
sundown? Southigntons crap
is Mohawk worth it? I live right out side of Hartford and always heard that all ct mountains are crap. But that was from a bunch of skiers. I go to wachusett a few times a week and when I have the time and money I go to VT. Anyway i guess my question is there a big difference between ct mountains and wachusett? besides the fact that wachusett has a great terrain park (that I never use) and Mohawk doesn't have one, are there any other major differences?
I only went to mohawk to get the early bugs tuned out. There are a few small kickers kids might make up on the far left of the mountain, that's it. Hard pack and pretty much same all over, just good for a first run of the year getting back into it.
Hunter is not an hour and half, esp from Hartford, it's well over 2 hours. I live near the NY border and it's a little under 2 hours here. The only place I've seen that has a park devoted place is a little hill called Woodbury ski resort, they have a website, kinda weak and lack of updates, but they are one of the first placed on the NE to have snow before the rest since they make their own and for a small hill, get enough to cover their small park. I haven't been there since because of such a small size it's likely to be swamped on the weekend, maybe on a weekday night I might. But anyhow, that's it for CT. The rest of the mountains are pretty plain.
Thanks. that's about what I figured. I have a good time a wawa and I go there enough to have figured out the good times to go to avoid the crowds. was just wondering if I could get the same quality with less than half the drive. appreciate the feedback.

In an interview after Saturday night's ACC hoops showdown between Duke and North Carolina at Cameron, Dallas quarterback Tony Romo said he's feeling good, his post-back surgery rehab is going well, and he's on schedule for the Cowboys' Organized Team Activities when they start next month."It's going good," Romo told ESPN during Saturday night's interview. "We're getting close now to (returning). Usually takes three months, it's just a normal kind of roundabout date that they give ya and we're right on schedule. Really ahead in a lot of ways. Just going to be ready to go here in about a month and rehab is going good, no setbacks of any kind. Mine (surgery) was just a normal small version of it, so I should be good to go here shortly." Romo missed the Cowboys last couple games of the season due to the injury
Romo and Head Coach Jason Garrett were in Durham this weekend to work with quarterback guru and Duke head football coach, David Cutcliffe. Cutcliffe is also known for working with Broncos QB Peyton Manning while he was rehabbing his neck injury two years ago. Romo and Garrett even took place in a quick game of PIG with ESPN analyst and former Duke great, Jayson WIlliams and current Duke guard Quinn Cook Friday night.
Fantasy Analysis:
The words "back surgery" and "minor" don't typically go hand in hand, but as back surgeries go, Romo's was indeed not expected to be a huge setback. Good news for Cowboys' fans and for fantasy football players alike. A healthy Romo is necessary for WR Dez Bryant , TE Jason Witten , and any other offensive skill player that hits the field for Dallas in 2014. We all saw the Kyle Orton experiment, and I even tried to be optimistic about it. Orton is not nearly as solid as Romo. In my opinion, a healthy Romo with healthy weapons is a top 10 QB in 2014.

Last week when we asked people what they used the Fire for and what they wanted from our site, we got some interesting results in the poll and suggestions from the comments. The clear favorite for what people wanted and what people got from the Kindle Fire Department was information about their device in the articles we present each day. As a result, we'll be looking for ways to bring you more of that.
We also got a very insightful comment about the technical level of our articles. It's obviously a little difficult to always avoid topics that will be too tough for some people, but as we do strive to reach the widest possible base of Fire users, there should definitely be plenty of material that's accessible to everyone.
In that spirit, our Tips & Tricks article today will be sort of a Back to Basics lesson for those familiar with the Fire. These functions may be ones you've overlooked, of if you're new to the Fire they may be perfect to help get you familiar with your device. All in all, we hope to offer something useful to everyone with a Fire in our articles.
Locking the Screen Orientation
Considering the Fire is such a portable device, it's easy to imagine yourself in a situation where you need to stop the screen from changing from portrait to landscape view or vice-versa because of where you are or what you're doing. Setting the device flat on a surface can cause it to shift too. But there's no need to worry about twisting your wrist a bit and making the screen change if you Lock it in the Quick Settings.
All you have to do is tap the gear in the top right corner to make the Quick Settings menu appear at the top of the screen. On the far left, you'll find where it says Unlocked with an arrow around it. Tap that to toggle back and forth. Illustrations:
Instead of just tapping the X to close a tab and letting go, tab and hold the X until a pop-up menu appears with the option to close all tabs.
Clearing Browser Cache and History
Another possible solution to the Surprise Tabs Problem is to clear the browser cache and history. And there are other practical reasons why you may want to do this from time to time as well, the same with the browser on your laptop or PC.
After opening up a new web browser, head down to the bottom and tap the menu button, which will bring up a bar with options. Tap settings, and you'll be brought to a screen where you can configure your preferences for Saved Data. Right in the middle are the options for Clear cache and Clear history. Tap them, confirm, and then they'll be gone.

Date of Defense 2007-06-25 Availability unrestricted AbstractAn experiment with 421 participants aged 18-45 was conducted to measure the effects of interactivity in an online movie advertising setting, and the effects of interactivity on consumer engagement and other brand metrics. Results from a post-test survey revealed insight into participants' perceived level of interactivity, and reflected varying levels of attitude towards ad messages, ad recall, mood, and factors in purchasing habits.
Results suggested that while interactivity can sometimes hinder advertising recall rates, it can also increase positive attitudes toward the advertisement, click-through rate, intent to purchase, and mood. Practical implications and suggestions for further research are discussed.

Samantha is a 17-year-old from Tulsa, Oklahoma. She likes to babysit, sew, draw, crochet, write and anything else that is creative!
I have recently been talking with C.S. Shride, the award-winning author of Lucy Dakota: Adventures of a Modern Explorer, about teens and empowerment. Carol Sue Shride wears many hats. She is a writer, speaker, educator, entrepreneur, explorer, mentor and mother of a tweenager. She is the perfect person to collaborate with for this article as she writes full-time creating and contributing to books and articles on a mission to inspire teenage girls and women, to show them how they can love themselves more fully and live the lives of their dreams. When I asked her if she had any tips that would help parents empower teens, she brilliantly came up with five great ones that I know you will find to be useful, and beneficial, in your own relationship with your teenager!
Shride's Advice —
If you want your teenager to feel more in control of their own destiny and begin to act more like an adult and take responsibility for their actions, a great way to do that is to empower them to make their own decisions and choices in life. As a parent, there are many ways this can be done, and as a teen, the key to being empowered is how you look at the world around you. Here are some great ideas for parents and kids to set young people up to trust themselves and their abilities.
- Allow your kids to make some decisions. Start young with simple decisions so they are already skilled at weighing options and making sound choices by the time they are teenagers. Give them the freedom to choose what to eat, what to pack or what to wear. Occasionally let them decide where to go on a camping trip or on vacation, or make them responsible for one aspect of the adventure (such as a couple of meals during the trip, or activities one day) to give them a sense of responsibility and control over their own destiny.
- Teach your children to take responsibility for their actions and their decisions. Begin instilling the idea that they are responsible for the quality of their life at an early age. Help your kids face the responsibility for the outcome of their decisions. Decided to make spaghetti on the camping trip but forgot the noodles? So what? What can you use instead? Use your creativity to problem solve and learn how to accept responsibility for what you do (or forget to do) without passing the blame onto someone else. Be solution oriented and practice saying "I made that choice" together.
- Reflect on what might have happened differently if other decisions had been made. Help your child to see how their decisions affected the outcome of the situation. Maybe you have blisters on your heels from wearing the wrong shoes hiking. What would have happened if you decided to do something differently, such as checking out your shoes on a shorter walk the week before, or trying out different sock combinations on walks before the big hike to see what worked best? Focus on mistakes as learning opportunities, not failures.
- Allow your child a chance to try again. Don't let making mistakes on the first attempt at something keep you from trying it again. If the first way didn't work, try another. Keep trying till you find an answer to your problem that works. Teach persistence. Mastery of anything only comes from repetition (and lots of failure in the early stages).
- Take risks. Allow your children to take age-appropriate risks and make time to talk about the outcome of their choices. Don't always choose the easiest or the customary way to do something. Sometimes we need to make mistakes to grow and sometimes our missteps can bring us some of the best moments of our lives. Take chances and encourage your kids to do the same.
Use these five tips in your own life and in your relationship with your teenager to grow self-esteem and give both of you a greater sense of self confidence in your decision making abilities.
