Arsenal Football Club was born out of community and has always understood the power it has to bring people together and reach individuals in a way that nobody else can.
Arsenal Football Club's history of giving back to its community can be traced back more than 125 years, when early matchday programme cards were sold to raise money for Homes for Working Boys at the club's former home in Woolwich, south London.
When Arsenal arrived in north London in 1913, one of its first gestures was a financial contribution to the Islington War Memorial Fund and a gift of one thousand guineas to the Great Northern Hospital for the endowment of a bed.
This idea of giving back continued right throughout the decades until Arsenal in the Community was formally established in the early 1980s, responding to the social unrest at the time and to encourage more young people to take part in recreational and competitive sport.
This was the start of 'football in the community' and with the support of Ken Friar OBE and the backing of the board, Arsenal Football Club was proud to be there from the beginning.
Alan Sefton was invited by Ken Friar to join Arsenal's fledgling community sports teams in 1986 and help develop the schemes. The engagement started with the local community coming to Highbury to its Sports Centre behind the Clock End at the club's former home.
As soon as the community programme started, it became a hive of activity hosting soccer schools, indoor bowls, fitness training and a sports college for the department's trainees. The training programme has been the cornerstone of Arsenal in the Community from the very beginning and many former trainees are still with Arsenal Football Club or in jobs which serve communities such as policemen and teachers. The Arsenal Ladies began as a trainee scheme too.
The Sports Centre soon reached capacity and outreach work began. Sports coaching at schools became an integral part of the programme. While Arsenal was used to engaging young people through sport, the idea of motivating and encouraging young people at school using Arsenal as the hook was soon developed and as a result several education initiatives have been introduced and developed.
Over the years, the club has developed community programmes across a range of areas which deliver both sporting and social outcomes. Projects range from sport and education, to health and social inclusion which are often a springboard to training and employment.
In recent years, Arsenal in the Community's outreach work has taken place on estates and parks - offering local young people the opportunity to play football and take advantage of the other education, social inclusion and employment pathways the Club offers. Through grants made by The Arsenal Foundation a number of pitches and spaces have been upgraded creating more places to play football and engage young people.

text: I just purchased a 2012 Cadillac SRX Luxury edition and prior had a 2010 Cadillac SRX Turbo Performance edition. The seats are identical in appearance, however, the seat feels much firmer which can be 100% associated to the cushion or padding inside the seat. My selling dealership also noticed the difference when comparing a 2012 SRX to his wifes 2010 SRX. With that in mind, can I have the cushions be replaced with the one's that came in the 2010 model? Is cadillac aware that this change took place in 2012? This would obviously only be noticed by someone who owned a prior model and this should have been disclosed when the "Whats New for 2012" was released for the SRX. Seats are the most important factor when buying a car. :thehand:

The weekend's five big events, and what to do after
Thu Apr 29 2010
Sunday 2
Wheeling and mealing
1. Gourmet Food Truck Bazaar
If you're anything like us, you like your food tasty, trendy and on wheels. And if the sight of a repurposed mail truck has a Pavlovian effect on you, then you won't want to miss Sunday's extravaganza, where ten of the city's hottest mobile food-slingers will convene at the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market to dish up tacos (from Calexico), ice cream (from the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck) and other delights. Once you've fueled up, use that momentum to meander up the West Side Highway to Pier 1 Caf, where you can drink off the food coma as you take in Hudson views.
Dream a little dream of...Freddy Krueger
2. A Nightmare on Elm Street opens
Just when you've finally learned to sleep without a night-light, Samuel Bayer's remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street hits theaters. The film not only revives Freddy's story, but also the career of former child-star Jackie Earle Haley, and—oh yeah—also the mass insomnia that plagued nearly every child of the '80s. See it at and then go comfort yourself with pierogi from Ukrainian standby Veselka: It's brightly lit and open 24 hours (in case you're too scared to go to bed). For other theaters and show times, .
Did someone say pig race?
3. The Bamboozle takes over the Meadowlands Sports Complex
While the average age of attendees at this two-day music festival skews somewhat adolescent, there are plenty of reasons for big kids to show up as well. Among them: sets from MGMT, Weezer, hip-hoppers Wiz Khalifa, Wale and Mike Posner. If the music doesn't do it for you, the carnival rides and pig races will. That's right, we said pig races. And if it all gets too overwhelming, you can make it back into the city in time for weekend happy hour.
But I'm working on a novel
4. Toni Morrison at the PEN World Voices Festival
Once a year, the PEN World Voices Festival sweeps into town and makes us want to quit our jobs, hop a steamship, travel the world and finally pen the tome that will catapult us into the realm of the literary elite. (We know, we know, good luck with all that.) To get your intellectual motor running, head to the Great Hall at Cooper Union for this Saturday's discussion between Toni Morrison and South African novelist Marlene van Niekerk, one of the many events on the agenda of this year's festival. Afterward, drown your intellect in mint juleps at Mason Dixon's Kentucky Derby party.
Isn't it sardonic?
5. Janeane Garofalo and Marc Maron at Comix
While the world seems to dish up an endless supply of idiocy, we can breathe easy knowing that comedic warriors like Garofalo and Maron are dedicated to battling the bullshit with their searing stand-up. The two hold court at Comix this Friday and Saturday. Before the show, stop for dinner at Scarpetta, where chef Scott Conant's pastas are no laughing matter.

Defo looks loads better.
Defo looks loads better.
I've finally got the bay to look like how I want it to and thought I'd slap some more pics up. Now the washer bottle and power steering fluid bottle cleaned and as much of the bay has been t-cut and waxed as I could reach.
Looks good, first thing that came to mind though was it's "tiny and shiny" well it's defo shiny
looks good man how did u do it intake manifold looks well good
looks amazing love the inlet manifold top class
The intake manifold was wire brushed, then sanded starting with 60 grit and moving gradually up to 800 grit dry, then 1000 grit up to 1400 grit wet, then I went to a sisal mop, soft mop and a buffing mop, then finally Autosol applied with newsprint. Then masked off the bits I wanted to keep shiny and painted the rest. Reckon it turned out ok.
The rest of the bay paintwork was in a poor condition. I don't think it had ever been cleaned so the original black t-cut was put to use. I would rarely use t-cut on bodywork cuz I think it's too abrasive but I'd never seen paintwork this dull!! So after t-cutting for about 2 hours per side, I then used G3 to reduce the damage the t-cut had done, then cleaned it up with Mequires Paint Cleaner and finally waxed it using Mequires Cleaner Wax.
I did laugh at Plumbs comment about being "tiny and shiny"!! Quality
plumb (08-05-2011)
give the polished bits a rub over with collinite 476 it will stop them tarnishing again..

It seems that in version 8.0.4 $InputFileName gives complete path to the

$Input is ExampleData/input.m
$InputFileName is C:\Program Files\Wolfram

Benjamin Dyett: Why Workspaces Of The Future Will Have No Walls [PSFK 2013]
The co-founder of Grind discusses the need for flexible offices ahead of PSFK CONFERENCE 2013.
As part of the run-up to PSFK CONFERENCE 2013 in New York this April, PSFK will be publishing a series of short interviews with speakers to give a taste of what will be discussed in this meeting of creative minds. Benjamin Dyett is a co-founder of Grind, an organization that aims to shake up the old concept of the office and believes that an open, flexible and green environment will breed community and fresh ideas. PSFK also examined the issue in 2013's Future Of Work report. Benjamin detailed his vision for the future of the workspace.
Grind aims to revolutionize the workspace. What are the key changes you think need to happen to the current standard office plan?
At Grind, we truly believe that innovation, creativity, and collaboration require proximity. The standard office plan is currently full of something that contradicts this belief: walls. Our open platform is the opposite of that and a testament to the fact that our current and potential members do their best work in a bright, unrestrictive space. Traditional offices and even modern ones are also full of friction and distractions that are often referred to as 'perks.' Pinball machines and screening rooms are great, but do they really contribute to someone's efficiency while at the office? The goal for any workspace should be to help its inhabitants be as productive as possible, so that they can have that perfect work/life balance that we all so desperately yearn for. These distractions are baiting people to stay at the office longer than necessary, and they're not even realizing it. That definitely needs to change.
How will collaboration of this nature increase productivity?
By giving independent workers direct access to the knowledge and expertise of others in their community, they will naturally become more productive and build stronger businesses. We've already seen a lot of it at Grind. Members share a laugh at the corner of a work table or bump into each other while grabbing coffee in the cafe and the next thing you know a business deal is inked, a team is formed, a friendship is made, etc. This increased serendipity and collaboration is like networking without the cheap wine, name tags, and empty questions. It's these genuine interactions that lead to professional and even personal growth for Grindists and other collaborative workers.
What is the single most important change you would like to see regarding the arrangement of the current office space?
The single most important change has to be the removal of walls. Knock 'em down. Blow them up. I don't really care what you do, but just get rid of them. You definitely need to have some private space for meetings, difficult conversations, phone calls, etc, but there should be more open space than enclosed by far.
Thanks Benjamin!

/// Is Zynga on the road to recovery?
Zynga has closed out 2012 with a stronger than expected performance of $311 million in revenue (according to GAAP) when analysts had expected $212 million. The publisher also outperformed on earnings, with a non-GAAP gain of 1 cent per share, where analysts had expected a loss of 3 cents. The market responded well to this news, with Zynga shares gaining over 7 per cent for the day and an additional 6.5 per cent in after-hours trading, closing in on $3 per share.
However, does this mean Zynga is out of the woods? Not yet – there are still hurdles to jump and pitfalls to avoid. Overall, though, it looks like Zynga is making progress in the right direction. As usual, the important clues are scattered throughout the executives' statements to analysts – let's take a look at what they said, and what it means.
Zynga CEO Mark Pincus started off the earnings call with some justifiable pride in the results delivered, mentioning some key numbers regarding Zynga's audience. "We have the largest total audience, with 298 million monthly average players, and specifically, 72 million on mobile alone."
That's a big number, but it's down from the high-point of over 310 million monthly average players that Zynga had at one point in 2012. Still, the erosion is not as severe as it could have been – companies like Digital Chocolate have seen their monthly players drop from 30 million down to 6 million. EA's social game audience also shrank significantly in 2012.
Social game companies have seen both sides of free-to-play games. While publishers can quickly attract large numbers of players to a free game, the downside is that people who haven't paid anything for your game have no qualms about dropping it the moment they aren't having fun; audiences can evaporate as quickly as they appeared if something isn't right with the game.
Pincus pointed out the company's strategy: "We realigned our studios around the four leading social game categories – which are invest and express, social casino, casual, and mid-core – and we promoted four proven product leaders to run them."
Notice that 'Ville style games are now called 'invest and express,' which gets to the core of the gameplay; you invest in creating something which you're usually creating something to show off to your friends. The interesting thing to note is that 'social casino' and 'mid-core' games are now of equal importance to the 'Ville games and casual games which have been Zynga's bread-and-butter. Zynga is diversifying in game styles, which is another way to reduce risk and perhaps find another big hit.
Pincus was also keen to highlight an oft-forgotten fact about Zynga's performance. "I'm proud that as a company, we've been operating cash flow positive since 2007," Pincus noted. He should be proud; few game companies can make that claim. All other factors aside, a company that can generate positive cash flow every quarter is not headed for extinction. Zynga's had its reverses, disappointing games and a variety of headline-grabbing problems (like executive departures), but it's continued to keep the cash coming in.
Overall, Pincus summed up the core of the company's strategy going forward: "The number-one focus for our company this year is to deliver the best social games on mobile." It's all about mobile, folks. Sure, Facebook is our friend, and still accounts for most of the revenue, but the big growth potential is all on mobile.
COO David Ko gave some blunt details of Zynga's hits and misses for the fourth quarter. "We launched four new mobile games: Ayakashi, Bubble Safari, Ruby Blast, and Party Place, as well as four new web games: CoasterVille, CityVille 2, the Frame Game, and Bubble Safari Ocean. While we successfully expanded our game portfolio, not every launch was a success. CityVille 2 missed our expectations, despite pushing the envelope on 3D gaming. And both the Frame Game and Party Place failed to achieve the mass-market appeal that Zynga franchises are known for. As a result, we are closing CityVille 2, the Frame Game, and Party Place."
No more letting a game limp along for months to see if it manages to find an audience – Zynga is ruthlessly putting these games out of their misery. This may be painful for the teams involved, but if the game isn't a success the company needs to shut it down and move forward quickly into something that does make money.
Ko put it in no uncertain terms: "The two biggest changes on our pipeline from last quarter are that one, you should expect to see the shift move more to mobile. And two, with our efforts to call the ball earlier on games and focus on franchises, we're doubling down on games with the biggest potential, and we'll probably ship less games overall."
More mobile games, fewer games overall, and cull the sickly more quickly. Ko sounds like he means business.
He also knows where Zynga is finding its players: "In Q4, our own network drove 71 per cent of all installs to new game launches during the first few weeks, and over the course of the entire quarter, drove a total of 92 million installs to all of our games." This seems to be true of most companies these days; nothing succeeds like success. If you have a large network, you can tell those players about new games. Of course, the majority of your new games have to be good ones, or eventually the whole concept falls apart.
One important opportunity for Zynga is advertising; with an audience of nearly 300 million you would think the potential for ad revenue is strong. Zynga has been slow to make that happen, but the tide seems to be turning. "Q4 ad revenue was strong at $37 million, up 35 per cent year over year and 19 per cent quarter-over-quarter," said Ko. "Our direct sales team onboarded new world-class brand advertisers like Progressive Insurance and LG Electronics while securing renewals from McDonalds, Honda, and NBC Universal, just to name a few."
Zynga has also made improvements on the cost side, as the freewheeling, freespending days seem to have departed. "On the cost side in Q4, we reduced our cash operating expense by $23 million quarter-over-quarter, exceeding the $15-20 million cost savings range we laid out in Q3," Ko said. We decreased spend in a number of areas, including marketing acquisition, data hosting, and outside services. We also closed several remote studios, reduced the size of our workforce, and rationalized our product pipeline."
It was left to CFO Mark Vranesh to mention the most important fact about Zynga's current situation: "Our Facebook related bookings represented 79 per cent of our bookings. Substantially, all of our non-Facebook bookings were on mobile platforms. Mobile bookings grew from 8 per cent of bookings a year ago to 21 per cent of bookings in the fourth quarter." This has been the key metric to watch. Zynga can talk about the importance of mobile, but the numbers show that the company is making good progress at shifting its revenue away from Facebook and onto mobile.
That's been the question: could Zynga keep revenues up, and profits coming in, while shifting from Facebook to mobile? It looks like the company is successfully walking that tightrope. A year ago Zynga was dependent on Facebook for 92 per cent of its revenue; that's down to 79 per cent, and you can bet it will continue to drop. Zynga needs to diversify its revenue sources so that it's not as vulnerable to any changes Facebook might make.
Vranesh pointed out that the most important part of Zynga's audience, the ones who pay, are holding steady. "Monthly unique payers, or MUPs, were 2.9 million, down 1 per cent year over year and down 2 per cent quarter-over-quarter while payer conversions, or MUPs as a percentage of MUUs, was up 3.5 per cent to 1.7 per cent versus the prior quarter." A rise in the conversion ratio is a good thing to see, as it means Zynga is getting better at monetizing its vast audience. In fact, that audience can drop significantly and it won't matter to Zynga as long as the conversion ratio gets better. A reliance on a very tiny number of payers is also a dangerous thing, and clearly Zynga realizes this. Part of the reason to develop mid-core games is that they tend to have a much higher percentage of players who pay.
Vranesh also confirmed that Zynga has made progress in diversifying its cash cows, and that it's not overly dependent on one game. "Our top revenue generating games for the fourth quarter were Zynga Poker, FarmVille, and CastleVille, which comprised 20 per cent, 18 per cent, and 12 per cent of our online game revenue respectively. No other game generated more than 10 per cent of online game revenue in the quarter."
Pincus summed up Zynga's strategy thusly: "We are both bringing existing major franchises like FarmVille 2 to mobile and we're launching new potential franchises in new categories, so we hope to grow that traffic this year from new launches."
That has been a key question; when will Zynga bring its best titles (FarmVille, CityVille, CastleVille) to mobile? We understand the games were built in Flash, so going mobile is not trivial – but also not impossible. Certainly the Ville style of game works much better on a larger screen. Tablets should be a natural home for Ville games; smartphones are a much more difficult target given the screen size.
Zynga has managed to hold its revenues level during a tumultuous year, and made a number of important strategic shifts. These early numbers show that Zynga is making progress in the right directions of reduced reliance on Facebook, more and better mobile games, more advertising revenue, while expanding the scope of its game offerings. The company isn't projecting massive growth, but it is looking for steady progress in the upcoming quarter. Given these numbers, it looks like a good prospect.

wanted to leave the phone and bluetooth paired cause i'm lazy... attenuated the radio to not waste power bumping the trunk...
exactly... according to the lady i bought it from the battery was new as of this january... battery shouldn't go bad in a year.
also better alternator and better wiring just means better charged battery all the days. plus i can get one with a slightly smaller pulley (but only 80A) so that i get better charge at idle (a known issue on these old MB diesels) it's like $130 for the 120A alternator versus my little 65A unit... and with plans to upgrade wilhelm's lights to 80W/100W.... (i MIGHT do 55W/100W, but the extra 25W sounds real nice on the low beams)
i'm thinking i should nip the problem in the bud instead of dicking around... for now (aka until i find a new job and get paid and all that) i'll put him on the trickle charger like once a week (just to be sure) but otherwise he should be ok as-is for a little longer.
