This shirt is probably the single best way to really match. Your shirt with your head, that is. You're guaranteed to have at least one person that thinks your style is fly... the guy on your shirt.

You really can't beat a shirt that comes with a matching headband! Now, just try to look as cool as the guy you are sporting on your chest.

A 12-year-old girl who was threatened with a knife by men burgling her Altrincham home is recovering well, according to her grandmother.
The incident took place at around10.45pm on Sunday, July 6, at her house on Ellesmere Road.
The girl had been staying at her grandmother's house, which backs directly onto her own home, and had gone back to the Ellesmere Road property very briefly to get some pyjamas.
At almost exactly the same time, her father received a call from his other daughter, who had been at a friend's house and needed to be collected.
Several men then entered the unlocked property, discovered the girl in her room, took her mobile phone and one of the offenders put his hand over her mouth and told her to be quiet.
He then told her he had a knife and demanded cash.
The men searched other rooms in the house, before leaving empty handed.
The girl was not harmed in the incident.
The girl's grandmother said: "Her dad had gone to pick her older sister up, ironically, so she'd be safe wouldn't have to walk home on her own and it all happened within that five minute window.
"I've never left her side in 11 years and then this happens."
She said that although her granddaughter is still a little shaken by the incident, she is doing well.
"She's a pretty resilient little thing and she's fine.
"We sent her to school on the Tuesday to try and normalise things and I take her every morning and pick her up at night like I've always done."
She added that while the family is getting on with normal life, it has made her feel more on edge.
"You just don't know who's watching, it's a very distressing thing to happen and it really could happen to anyone."

The November 2012 election is not likely in the forefront of prospective voters' minds, but Denver Democrat Joe Miklosi is already rolling out a campaign in hopes of unseating incumbent Republican Mike Coffman in Congressional District 6.
Miklosi, who currently serves as a representative in state House District 9, said he would focus his efforts in the congressional office on job growth, particularly for the middle class.
Rockets' red glare — and tickets
A manhunt in South Jeffco ended on the evening of July 7, when police arrested a 50-year-old man in Lakewood who was suspected of brandishing a handgun hours earlier outside the The Edge Ice Arena.
Charles Belter was arrested on suspicion of several charges, including attempted kidnapping, felony menacing, stalking and violation of a protective order, the Sheriff's Office said.
"This whole thing stemmed from an incident with his estranged wife. … They were in the parking lot at The Edge," sheriff's spokesman Mark Techmeyer said.
Officials closed Chatfield State Park's swim beach beginning the morning of July 7, after a routine test revealed high levels of E. coli bacteria in the water.
The presence of the bacteria, which is commonly found in fecal matter, was detectable in tests performed on the following days, prolonging the beach closure over the weekend.
The contamination is likely due to recent heavy rains, the park said, which can wash material into the reservoir, and high temperatures, which can encourage bacterial proliferation.
I was recently at an awards ceremony where a local business executive was honored. In describing his philosophy about hiring employees, he noted that his first test is always to find pleasant people. That rang true with me, but I'd never heard anyone say it before.
It made me wonder: Is pleasantness the most underrated human trait?
Meet Abdullah Musleh for the Dakota Ridge Eagles. And Austin Genthe. And Jack Anderson. All wearing No. 20. That, in a nutshell, is the laid-back nature of summer basketball.
"It could be confusing for the guy keeping track of fouls. It just kind of happened today," Musleh said.
Yes, the atmosphere is rather easygoing compared to the high school regular season, which runs from December through the state finals in March, but the summer season is important in building for what's to come.
Dylan Dems could've sulked after he was pinch hit for in the sixth inning, but he didn't. Instead, the rising Chatfield junior proved his mettle when he got another chance in the eighth.
The Chargers second baseman sent George Couglin's 1-1 pitch — his 104th pitch overall — up the middle with two outs in the eighth and pinch runner Cody Cordova scored from second for a 4-3 victory over Lakewood in Game 1 of a doubleheader. The Tigers bounced back to win Game 2 by a 6-1 score.
Most players that have been asked to step up for Dakota Ridge this summer in big situations have done so. Dakota Wallin was no exception on June 29 against Smoky Hill at Dakota Ridge High School.
Wallin pitched a complete game scattering eight hits with five strikeouts and only one walk leading the Eagles to a 4-2 victory in the first game of a doubleheader. Dakota Ridge won the second game 12-1.
New fire restrictions have been issued for parts of unincorporated Jefferson County in an attempt to reduce human-caused wildfires.
Jeffco Sheriff Ted Mink issued stage 1 temporary fire restrictions effective July 1 for land west of Highway 93, C-470, Highway 121 and south of C-470, according to spokesman Mark Techmeyer. Violations are punishable by a fine up to $600.
The following activities are prohibited:
The Jeffco library system is anticipating significant budget cuts in 2012, and its board plans to withhold a budget draft from most of the library system's employees until the document is presented later this month to the county commissioners.

This is my second posting in a week regarding Brett Favre's NFL future. This one feels a bit more reliable than the last, though the door for a Favre return remains the slightest bit ajar.
The (Biloxi) Sun Herald's Al Jones wrote last week that Favre's agent, Bus Cook, laughed off speculation stirred by NFL.com analyst Gil Brandt that Favre was pondering a 21st season in the league.
Jones also got Favre's brother and mother on the record.
"I would say there's less than a 1% chance (he would return)," Scott Favre said. "He is retired."
Added Bonita Favre: "I would hope he would not do it," she said. "He is crazy if he does."
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Shenandoah Vacation Packages
Shenandoah is situated approximately 120 miles (193 kilometers) north of Christchurch and 140 miles (225 kilometers) west of Wellington, New Zealand's capital.
From firmly-established, must-see spots to secret places that are waiting just for you, South Island is brimming with natural and cultural attractions. Hector and Ngakawau are two more places worth visiting while you're in South Island.
Westport, is another good spot to visit. It is approximately 35 miles (56 kilometers) from Shenandoah and offers a diverse range of visitor attractions, like Cape Foulwind, Coaltown Museum and Miner's Brewery. Buller Gorge, Tauranga Bay Seal Colony and Denniston are other good places to visit.
Spend a few hours exploring South Island's craft workshops, history museums and art museums. These are great destinations to hang out, especially on unpleasant days. Every place has its own fascinating history and South Island is no exception. The old towns in these parts are well worth visiting.
If you're not the kind to take a break purely to shuffle between the pool and the buffet, the Shenandoah area offers a number of high-energy pursuits like hiking and caving. Camping and beach combing are just some of the many other activities in this region.
At the end of your visit to South Island, remember that you can come again. As you may have heard the locals say: Once a visitor, forever a friend.

If you love the Mexican national team and you live in the USA, this song's for you.
It's not just any old song.
Mexican national team sponsor AT&T teamed up with Latin grammy winners Jesse & Joy to create "an upbeat tune that reflects the undefeated spirit and unconditional patriotism of Mexican national team fans in the United States," according to AT&T, and that "exemplifies the passion that Mexican soccer fans display at stadiums across the US."
More from The Sideline
The name? Corazón de Campeón (Heart of a Champion).
It's a high-end production that aims to reconnect El Tri fans with their roots back in Mexico dating back to the early years of the country's history (watch it here).
Don't get jealous, USMNT fans.
The US national team once commissioned a chant for their fans "to unite them in pride and support for their team."

My husband's birthday is coming up, so I have been trolling stores and the internet looking for unique gift ideas. David is a very thoughtful gift-giver, so I always try to find interesting presents and make his birthdays as special as he makes mine.
Here are some of the things I came across in my search, in case you are on the lookout for Father's Day or birthday gifts for your husband, dad, brother, boyfriend, male friend, etc. I've still got a couple of weeks before David's birthday, so let me know if you have seen other good gift ideas!
Personalized Burlap Bookmark Made From Upcycled Coffee Bean Sacks- I ordered a couple of these printed with nicknames or inside jokes, to help make his textbook-reading a bit more enjoyable.
Paris Map Bookmarks- I took this digital file to Kinko's, color-copied it onto cream cardstock, an laminated them. We went to France last summer and are enjoying the memories, plus David loves history/maps, so I think these will be both useful and sentimental. This shop on Etsy (memoriesemporium) sells several different shapes of several different maps; some might also make cute coasters. I think they also have London and New York map graphics.
Keeping with the French theme, the Say It Sweet shop on Etsy carries a number of different small printed posters with French phrases of all kinds, some romantic, some clever. I had fun scrolling over them to read the quotes.
Other shops on Etsy have tons of cute graphics, phrases, and other printed goods to frame or display too. I love this one depicting a couple from different states from delovelyArts. That shop sells graphics of states and cities too. I also adore the state prints from 1canoe2, the sweet little sayings and birds from katieleese, and the mixed media collage-style pieces from TheArtsyGirl.
"Good Morning, Handsome" Latte Mug- This shop (theprintedsurface) on Etsy also has "Good Morning, Beautiful," and a cute set of mugs that say "I'm his Mrs." and "I'm her Mr."
50 Jobs Worse Than Yours book- I'm hoping this will make the toils of the workaday world a bit less discouraging than they seem sometimes. Ha!
Broo- It's shampoo made from BEER in Asheville, North Carolina that contains no sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones, added dyes, synthetic fragrance, or GMOs.
Coffee Cup Gadget-Charger for the Car- This gadget is shaped like a coffee cup so it fits in your car's cup holder, and has two electrical outlets and one USB port for charging iPods, iPhones, laptops, or other electronics while you drive. The reviews made it sound like the USB port does not work to charge an iPad though, so you may want to investigate that further if that's what you are hoping for.
1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die book- There are a number of books along these lines compiling lists of "the greatest" albums, movies, beers, whiskeys, wines, natural wonders, books, children's books, paintings, foods, video games, comics, places to travel, classical recordings, buildings, historic sites, travel escapes, golf holes, days that shaped the world, and dream cars.
Speaking of books, I also like the idea of gifting a travel guide or two for a place your guy wants to go in the future. Even if you are still saving or are not sure when you'll make it, the travel guidebooks can be nice reading in the meantime, and sort of a hopeful reassurance to him that you'll get there. You could combine this with a piece of luggage if you like- I always find good suitcases at fair prices at TJ Maxx. For a couple of other travel-related gift ideas, you may want to pop over to this previous post.
I have to admit that I don't really know how Apple TV works or what it does, but David has his eye on it and mentioned it as a possible birthday gift idea. Maybe you are more technological than me and can figure it out?
Similarly gadgety, this pocket projector for iPhone 4 seems pretty cool. I also looked at a less expensive one on Amazon, and reviews seem to be mixed, so you might want to do some background work before you buy. I'd think it would be handy for travel or business uses, or easily sharing the videos he takes on his iPhone?
There are some unique "experience" gifts on websites like this one. You choose your region, and it gives you a list of what is available nearby. For example, I noticed a golf lesson with a PGA pro, DaVinci scavenger hunt, bull riding school, hangliding, a hot air balloon ride, skateboarding lesson, scenic biplane flight, helicoptor tour, scuba-diving, or driving a stock car around a racetrack.
Lastly, I thought this "hooked on you" idea could be kind of cute, especially now in the summer when beach pails are everywhere. This example is filled with gummy worms, but I am thinking you could also fill a small bucket with little fish and write reasons you love him on each one? Or use the phrase on a picture frame or hook for coats or keys? Seems like there is some creative potential there…
Happy shopping! Hope you find something touching for those important men in your life!

Can you hear me now?
I usually get my mobile phone and set it to vibrate. Then I stick it in my pussy. Fantastic orgasm!
Take this call
I take my cell phone, set it on vibrate only, put it in a condom and slide it in my pussy. Then I take my home cordless phone and call my cell phone. I just let my cell vibrate while I rub my clit.
Dial "O" for orgasm
I put a mobile phone down in my pants and hold it against my clit, then I ring my mobile over and over again while it is on the vibrating mode.
Off the hook
My cell phone vibrates a lot. I put it inside of a condom so I don't ruin it
and then I stick it in my pussy. I have my boyfriend call me over and over and over.
After I cum, I call him and we have phone sex.
Vibrate only
I take my cell phone, set it on vibrate only, put it in a condom and slide
it in my pussy, then I take my home cordless phone and call my cell phone. I just
let my cell vibrate while I rub my clit.
Use your old cell
As soon as I get home from work I finger myself with oil to make my
clit nice and loose, then I take my old cell phone and slowly insert it. I then take
my phone at home and call myself on my cell phone. The vibes from the vibrator
in the cell phone feel just amazing.
On the ball
I love to stick my cell phone in my clit and put on my jeans and sit on a
ball and ride the ball. I put my cell phone on vibrate and call it. I love leaving myself sexy messages! And I love how I cum all over the place.
Better when my boyfriend calls
I put my cell phone on vibrate mode and keyguard it and then slip it in
between my pussy lips right against my clit. Then I use the home phone to call
myself and let the phone vibrate hard against my clit. It feels so good. It's even
better when my boyfriend calls it. It gets me so horny.
The longest ring
When I get really horny, I put my cell phone on vibrate and put it on the
longest ring and place it on my clit. The vibrations will do for an orgasm when you
really need one.
Don't put it to your ear
If you have a headphone thingy for your cell or phone so you dont have to
hold the phone up to your ear, take the phone and slide it in and out of your pussy. It
feels great, no need to wear a condom! Then you cum!
Wet by the fourth ring
First I put my cellphone in vibrator mode. That made
me wet by the fourth ring, with no foreplay! I don't know if it feels like a dick, because I'm still a virgin,
but that made me go crazy!
Wrap it up
I wrap my Nokia cell in a fairly large piece of Saran Wrap. Make sure the
phone is on vibrate. Unless you are already wet, use some lube and insert the
phone into your pussy. Use your home phone to call yourself, or even better,
have your boyfriend call from somewhere else. The surprise feels nice.

From Ananda Aromatherapy, pure Mandarin essential oils, cold pressed from the peels of
Mandarin fruit from Italy. Called "the children's remedy" in France for its broad range of soothing effects. The Red mandarin oil is the sweetest of the bunch, with the Yellow following close behind. The non-certified organic yellow mandarin is unsprayed (as is the Green), and is a beautiful oil for a lower cost. The green is sweet-tart, like citrus candy, a really fun aroma and color. All are really very nice, from Italy, where the soil and climate conditions produce some of the world's finest citrus fruit essential oils.*
|Suggested Use:
|Diffuse or apply topically; can be taken internally - one to two drops at any one time.
|Mandarin oil is non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing.
Ananda Aromatherapy
Essential Oils:
|All oils from Ananda Aromatherapy are true therapeutic quality, meaning they are produced to the highest quality standards possible. Our essential oils are chosen for their integrity (all chemical constituents important for aromatherapy are intact), ecological 'soundness' (most are organic or wild grown), and wonderful aromas. You may order a sample of any oil before trying larger amounts. Most samples are about .75ml; exotic oils such as Melissa, Rose, Angelica and Jasmine are only a few drops. Ananda Aromatherapy offers wholesale essential oils direct to you. We forgo the use of separate wholesale and retail tiers in order to keep fine true therapeutic quality oils accessible to everyone!

The stunning lights and colours of the Hamburg Christmas markets are doubled beautifully in the reflection of the River Elbe. The Hanseatic tradition is obvious everywhere across the city and the whole atmosphere has a sense of authenticity and festivity. The lights on the town hall can be seen wherever you are standing and the Hamburg Christmas markets offer a warm and inviting place to stroll on the long winter nights on a holiday to Germany.
Look for the bright lights of the town hall and directly underneath you can find the bulk of the Hamburg Christmas markets. Easily spotted alongside the tall white Christmas tree, the stalls fill the main square. The Hanseatic Christmas market can be found at Gansemarkt square while at St. Peter's Church you can enjoy a more low-key event.
The specific dates of each Germany Christmas market in Hamburg varies on market to market but generally, like most European Christmas markets, each is generally open between 26th November and the 31st December. Check for each individual market about any dates that they may be shut. The Christmas markets in Hamburg can be enjoyed between 10am and 9pm every day and for those wanting to visit into the night, the Santa Pauli Christmas market is open from 5pm until 11pm or even 1am on a Friday and Saturday.
Stalls in the Hamburg Christmas markets boast a fantastic range of home-made arts and crafts while circus vendors will tempt with warming punch. The Christmas markets in Hamburg are fantastic for children with old-fashioned carousels lighting up the night sky. At four, six and eight pm every night, Father Christmas flies above the roofs of the Christmas market stalls. Don't miss the Christmas parade that waltzes through the city centre every Saturday.
Christmas markets in Hamburg specialise a great range of gifts. Try some cookies from the bakers of Aachen or sample gingerbread from Nuremberg. If you're looking for some unique Christmas presents then head home with local woodcarvings from Tyrol or pottery from Lausitz. Silversmiths come from all over Germany to attend the Hamburg Christmas markets so keep an eye out for their sparkling crafts.
With easyJet holidays you can be enticed by the reflective lights of the Christmas markets and head on a holiday to Hamburg with a difference. Organise your flight and hotel together in a completely flexible deal so that you can spend less time worrying about the holiday price tag and more time making room in your suitcase for Christmas presents!

August 20 , 2009 , Delhi, N.Y. … SUNY Delhi is ranked among the Top 50 of Baccalaureate Colleges in the North in the 2010 edition of "America's Best Colleges" by U.S. News Media Group. The exclusive rankings will also be published in the September issue of U.S. News and World Report magazine, on newsstands Monday, August 24.
"We are extremely proud that SUNY Delhi is ranked among the top baccalaureate colleges for the third consecutive year," says SUNY Delhi President Candace S. Vancko. "The rankings also show that SUNY Delhi scores high marks among its peers when you look at key indicators of academic quality such as freshman retention rates and selectivity," she said.
SUNY Delhi expects to enroll more than 3,000 students in Fall 2009, which will mark the highest total in college history, according to President Vancko. Baccalaureate program growth is a key factor in the enrollment surge, with nearly 600 students pursuing four-year degrees.
Applications to SUNY Delhi are at record levels with more than 6,000 students applying for enrollment in Fall 2009. Applications to SUNY Delhi have increased by more than 42 percent over the last three years.
SUNY Delhi has significantly expanded the outreach of its baccalaureate programs. An online RN to BSN program, the first of its type in New York State, has grown from 20 students to more than 200 in less than two years. Delhi has offered baccalaureate degrees on the campus of Schenectady County Community College since 2003 and will launch four-year programs at Tompkins Cortland Community College in Dryden and Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, beginning this fall.
Delhi offers specialized baccalaureate programs in such areas as Hospitality Management, Professional Golf Management, Golf and Sports Turf Management, Veterinary Technology Management, Information Technology, Architectural Design and Building, Construction Management, and Business and Technology Management.
Over the past 26 years, the U.S. News college rankings, which groups schools based on categories created by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, has grown to be the most comprehensive research tool for students and parents considering higher education opportunities. The rankings represent the most thorough examination of how more than 1,400 accredited four-year schools compare on a set of 15 widely accepted indicators of excellence. Among the many factors weighed in determining the rankings, the key measures of quality are: peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, alumni giving, and graduation rate performance (National Universities and Liberal Arts Colleges).

the US military surrounds Iraq, the great forum provided by LewRockwell.com
has presented many arguments concerning an invasion of Iraq. Adding
weight to these arguments, it is time to examine the wisdom of such
an aggressive measure, particularly from a military standpoint.
for an invasion of Iraq fail to offer much in the form of wisdom.
Wisdom, as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary, entails
the ability to discern or judge what is true or right, usually by
aid of learning through the ages or the wise teachings of ancient
sages. Granted some proponents of invasion have looked to the past
for legitimacy, however, Gene
Callahan pointed out that the historical proponents twisted
the past for an invasion justification. Such mendacity, by invasion
proponents, lacks wisdom as well.
as our moral guide, Sun Tzu's The
Art of War, let us examine the wisdom of past invasions
as well as of the proposed invasion (attack) of Iraq. I believe
the wisdom offered by Sun Tzu should be internalized in all people
who use arms, from the "Army of One" to those exercising
their Second Amendment rights. There are many interpretations of
the Chinese text, and I particularly like the translation written
by Thomas Cleary. I carry a pocket
edition of the book in my backpack. The book has practical applications
for fistfights, arguments, and military operations.
Tzu says:
ancient times skillful warriors first made themselves invincible,
and then watched for vulnerability in their opponents. Invincibility
is in oneself, vulnerability is in the opponent. Therefore skillful
warriors are able to be invincible, but they cannot cause opponents
to be vulnerable.
is a matter of defense, vulnerability is a matter of attack.
first at invincibility, we see that it is in control of the individual
or the decision-maker. A warrior can build his faculties such that
no opponent can successfully attack him. A great example of invincibility,
the Swiss
army, emulates Sun Tzu's code perfectly. The Swiss militia was
so strong and invincible, that the Nazis did not dare attempt a
maneuver on the Swiss. With every man armed and with the ability
to hit point targets at 300 meters, the Swiss example points to
another of Sun Tzu's great maxims, "…those who win every battle
are not really skillful — those who render others' armies helpless
without fighting are the best of all."
to the flip side, vulnerability, we are instructed that it is a
matter of attack. If an individual chooses to attack, then the individual
will become vulnerable. In the simple example of a fistfight on
the playground, the aggressing kid will become vulnerable if he
lunges to punch another in the face. He will be vulnerable to a
defensive counterattack by the defender, particularly if that defender
has made himself invincible. The aggressor will become vulnerable
to the school authorities and parents enforcing a code of conduct.
In an argument one can use ad hominem attacks or other mendacious
tactics to intimidate an opponent into accepting a thesis. However,
such attacks make an argument vulnerable, weakening it to a fallacy.
the sphere of military conflict, aggressors are always made vulnerable
by their attacks. Hannibal's invasion of Rome devastated his great
army. The aggressive Spanish Armada was annihilated by the defense
of the English navy. Pickett's charge was vulnerable to the defensive,
high ground position of the Union army, leading to the Confederate
defeat at Gettysburg. In fact, General Lee's invasion into the North
ultimately led to the fall of the Confederacy. In World War II,
both Germany and Japan aggressively attacked vast amounts of territory.
Eventually, Ally forces took advantage of Axis vulnerability and
destroyed it. Of course, in both the Civil War and WWII, the US
Federal involvement in counterattacks made it more vulnerable with
the erosion of civil liberties and the destruction of productive
economic capital. In our most recent example, Saddam Hussien invaded
Kuwait to give his regime greater access to Persian Gulf ports.
Despite the permissive stance by the US ambassador, Hussien's regime
made itself vulnerable to US/UN counterattack. Hussien's army was
driven from Kuwait and his country was laid to ruin by years of
embargo and air strikes.
both a rational and empirical perspective, vulnerability is a matter
of attack.
how about the current invasion of Iraq? Is it wise? Well, the United
States will most likely defeat the Iraqi army and end the Hussien
regime. But the attack will make the US vulnerable. It will make
the US quite vulnerable to attacks from the Arab world. Whether
Sunni or Shi, the US will become terrorist target number one, replacing
Israel. US military units deployed all over the planet will become
a greater target than they already are. And most of all, the union
of States will become more vulnerable to terrorism with its collectivist
defense system spread thin all over the planet and its civil liberties
(the Bill of Rights are a hallmark of self-defense) in shambles.
Tzu says that attacks are for times of surplus or fullness. It's
hard to justify that this country is at a time of surplus. Right
now the future of the US is mortgaged to a cross of paper. Mired
in debt, the economic health of Americans from the consumer to the
government is on life support. Would it be wise to attack from such
a point of emptiness? According to Sun Tzu, no:
a country is impoverished by military operations, it is because
of transporting supplies to a distant place. Transport supplies
to a distant place, and the populace will be impoverished.
the first Gulf War, this one will not involve financial assistance
from Kuwaiti Emirs, Saudi Princes, or other countries involved in
a coalition against Iraq. This time a majority of the war will be
financed through monetary inflation and the issuance of Treasury
debt. Also unlike the first Gulf War, this war may need to involve
a siege of Baghdad to put Saddam in checkmate. It would be hard
for the politicians to call for one of their pretend air war victories
like in the Balkans or Afghanistan. Such as siege would be at a
devastating cost, due to the drain sieges have on supplies, and
most of all lives. As supplies are drained in the siege, costs will
be compounded with the mobilization of supplies to the distant place.
All this, of course, will be done at the expense of the US taxpayer
and holders of US dollars, impoverished by one of the biggest logistics
efforts in the history of warfare. Let's also not forget that we
are sending supplies, equipment, and personnel to other distant
places like, the Balkans, Western Europe, various points in Africa,
Indonesia, Okinawa, and Korea. Such a drain on the US economy can
not be sustained forever. Eventually, the market will master a vulnerable
US government.
will be the first big-time US war, primarily financed by the US,
since Vietnam. It was then, in 1973, when the last remnants of any
monetary discipline, under the Bretton Woods Agreement, were abolished
by the Nixon administration. This time with absolutely no monetary
discipline (or
military discipline for that matter), the US will make its economy
more vulnerable than it ever has in its history. As anyone who studies
the sound principles of money understands, the value of paper money
is based on trust. It will be hard for the world to trust the currency
of a nation that is no longer free, no longer able to abide by its
laws, and seen by the world as an aggressor to the sovereignty of
attack! But don't forget it will make you quite vulnerable and ultimately

REDLANDS - University of Redlands football coach Mike Maynard has to take care of a heavy workload before he can actually settle down and do some coaching.
Administrative duties, paperwork and other logistics consume his time at the moment. Football players report on Saturday and the season's first official practice is scheduled for Sunday.
"It's an intensive administrative time and it's everything you can imagine," Maynard said. "It's management of the team, making sure all insurance documents are in, making sure housing is set up, making sure meals are there and making sure the locker room is ready. It's everything."
Maynard added, "There is no end. It's A to Z. Hopefully the football stuff will kick in at some point."
Last season the Bulldogs completed the 2012 campaign with a five game win streak that secured the team's seventh straight winning record. Redlands (6-3) opens the 2013 season by hosting Mary Hardin-Baylor.
"We've got miles to go before that game," Maynard said. "We are playing a great team in Mary-Hardin. It's a great program and it will be a great test to see where we are at. They are always a Top 5 nationally ranked team and will fly in here read to play. We have a lot of work to do before then."
Maynard said the team's first eight days of practice is set.
"But there are always changes," Maynard said. "Some guys get hurt and there are roster changes. Things happen that you can't control. You can't plan too far in advance."
Maynard, however, said he has a team that has gone far and beyond of what it has been asked of during the offseason. Offseason workouts have been well attended and the effort has been impressive.
"I was telling the coaches that rarely do you have to coach effort with this team," Maynard said. "It really has a passion about playing football. It has a vision that is big. So I think it's going to be a fun teach to coach."
Maynard said there was a team record number of players who attended all spring practices and all offseason workouts. That has resulted in a team record of players garnering Ultimate Dog honors.
"Those are the players who attended every single offseason and spring practice," Maynard said. "We don't make this mandatory. If you have to make it mandatory, then you have the wrong guys. We believe in rewarding good behavior and the right attitude. It's been very difficult and demanding. But's its great to see."

Port-Au-Prince (AFP) Jan 11, 2011
Haitians on Wednesday grieved for the nearly quarter of a million people wiped out in last year's earthquake, while praying for their beleaguered country to be given another chance.
Crowds were expected to attend a Catholic Mass at the ruined cathedral in the capital Port-au-Prince early Wednesday to pray for the more than 220,000 people killed almost instantly in the magnitude 7.0 quake on January 12, 2010.
The boisterous, often raucously noisy street life that typifies this Caribbean nation was to give way to somber reflection, with a minute of silence at 4:53 pm, the moment that disaster struck.
On Tuesday, officials and relatives of victims began commemorations by gathering at a mass grave on a windy hillside outside Port-au-Prince. President Rene Preval joined mourners who laid flowers and wreaths at the base of simple black crosses.
Later, religious leaders held prayers at the University of Notre Dame in Port-au-Prince. There had been "an earthquake of the heart," one priest said in his address.
"Let the heart of the people never cease to beat for charity and liberty."
The ceremony was broadcast live on public television, which carried the words on the screen, written in Creole: "12 January 2010. 4h53. We will not forget you."
The anniversary finds Haiti barely healed from the trauma inflicted 12 months ago and gripped by political instability over the holding of a runoff round in elections to replace Preval.
The economy and infrastructure are crippled, a cholera outbreak continues to kill, and more than 800,000 people live in squalid tent camps, according to a new official count. Rebuilding has hardly begun.
Former US president Bill Clinton, one of the main figures coordinating a massive international aid effort, arrived Tuesday to join ceremonies and said he was "frustrated" by the slow pace of reconstruction.
He also called on the government "to resolve" the election standoff.
However, he did say he was "encouraged" that after repeated delays in organizing the flow of aid money and the implementation of promised projects, "we are doing much better."
The UN, meanwhile, said that Haiti's recovery would be an "absolute priority" for the world body in 2011. US President Barack Obama took up the call, urging the international community to "fulfill the pledges it has made."
The huge tasks here include clearing rubble, moving people out of tents and back into houses, halting widespread environmental degradation, and rebuilding an education system that currently provides schooling to less than half of all children.
On Wednesday South Korea's Sae-A Trading said it would invest $78 million to open a textiles factory, creating up to 20,000 jobs and making it Haiti's largest private employer, but it will be years before the plant goes online.
One of the more immediate concerns is the cholera outbreak, which has so far claimed 3,759 lives, according to the latest Haitian government update, and sickened thousands more.
The World Health Organization said Tuesday that the "peak has not been reached," although the death rate was slowing.
The most overriding issue to resolve will be the stalemate in holding a second round in the presidential election to replace Preval.
International monitors from the Organization of American States (OAS) are due to issue a report with non-binding recommendations to Preval on how to move ahead with the runoff after first-round results sparked deadly riots.
According to a leaked draft of the report, the OAS is calling on Preval's favored successor Jude Celestin to drop out because of fraud.
Celestin would give up his place to the previously third placed candidate, singer Michel Martelly, who would then face Mirlande Manigat, a former first lady who won the most votes in the first round.
The switch, if confirmed, would be a blow to Preval, who is due to leave power and had been hoping to see his ally take over.
Some observers fear Haitians could face a renewal of rioting that claimed five lives after last month's announcement of preliminary results.
However, Preval has said he will only discuss the report once anniversary commemora/sstions are over.

Here you go. No references to Merchant's.
"They varied considerably in design, but most bore the trademam name, location
and date and a device signifying their trade (such as arms of their livery
company e.g. Butchers, Grocers, Salters, Tallow Chandlers, or a personal
device-a knife and cleaver in the case of Henry Hill, butcher of Bonsall."
"It was customary for Ashbourne tradesmen to walk hounds for the hunt, and
newspaper notices in that year show that a white hound belonging to Hugo Meynell
was lost from the premises of William Lee, a grocer."
Winfield (closest is Wingfield)
"The Goushills of Barlborough (whose co-heiress conveyed a moiety of Barlborough
to the Wingfield family);"
"The winter of 1607-8 (noted for its frost in Woolley's History of Derbyshire
and described in a letter from London on 29 January 1608 by Lord Lisle to the
Earl of Shrewsbury as 'the like hath not have been seen upon the Thames in the
memory of the oldest man') appears to have been the inspiration for the start of
Dutch winter landscape painting, with work by Hendrick Avercamp followed in the
next half of the century by those of van der Goyen, van Goyen , van Ostade and
van Ruysdael."
"In 1614 Woolley writes in his 'history'; 'In this year there was a great snow
and, after, a great drought which continued almost four months'... In 1634 he
records; 'in this year was the great snow wherein four perished between Darby
and Spoondon'."
"Samuel Sanders - Owing to his early death at the age of only 47 he never
completed this project, but his work was mostly original and laid the
foundations for William Woolley's later manuscript history."
"In his preface "To the reader' at the beginning of his manuscript history of
Derbyshire dated c. 1712-15, William Woolley declares his surprise 'that when
almost all the counties of England have their histories or descriptions
published, ... no one has ever yet done anything considerable with respect to
Derbyshire ... there being few counties in England which afford more room for a
nice pen to expatiate in ...' He explains that he has written his 'History' as a
retirement occupation after a busy life in commerce, and goes on to recount how
his work is largely based on the collections made by his 'most respected
brother-in-law Samuel Sanders of Little Ireton. In point of fact Samuel Sanders
was Woolley's step-uncle, Sanders sister Elizabeth had married William Woolley a
silk merchant of London, who was the son of Arthur Woolley (of Smalley and later
Marston-on-Dove) a descendant of the Woolleys of Allen Hill in the parish of
Riber. Elizabeth was Woolleys second wife, and one of their daughters, Esther
married Sander's second son, Samuel (1686-1746), of Derby. But by his first
wife, Woolley had a son, William, who became a merchant in London trading with
Spain. This William Woolley - the stepson of Samuel Sanders sister Elizabeth was
the author of the 'History' and appears to have retired from business in London
and to have purchased the Darley Abbey Estate in 1709. There after her settled
down to write his county history, and was eventually buried with his wife
(Rebecca Westbrooke) in St. Alkmund's Church in 1719."
"William Woolley's manuscript history is seriously incomplete, since it does not
cover the hundreds of Scarsdale or of High Peak. But it is by no means an
insignificant work. He complies brief parish histories, with the emphasis on
manorial descents, agriculture and trade, but showed little interest in
ecclesiastical history or local families. His description of land and of various
trades is however of considerable interest in that it comes at a time shortly
before the beginnings of parliamentary enclosures, and when Derbyshire's early
industries and trades (particularly lead mining, brewing and malting) were still
flourishing and the later industries of coal mining, quarrying and iron smelting
were still in their infancy. Since he describes himself as as former 'factor in
the lead trade at London", his account of the lead industry in Derbyshire is
particularly valuable. His remarks on communications particularly the importance
of Trent for Derbyshire trade are also of much interests. Woolley gives a
detailed description of the town of Derby (clearly from his own first hand
knowledge) and shorter accounts of Ashbourne and Wirksworth. Indeed Woolley
freely admits that certain research 'would have been more trouble tome than I
was willing to take in a matter which I had only designed for an amusement' -
the 'history' was nevertheless written by a well traveled and observant man of
affairs and was founded upon the original and reliable researches of Samuel
Sanders. It occupies an important place in Derbyshire historical writing, and
has been published by the Derbyshire Record Society (Vol.6, 1981, edited by
Catherine glover and Philip Riden), together with Samuel Sander's collections on
"The amount collected on this occasion was 990 pounds (William Cavendish paying
100, Edward Mundy of Markeaton and Adam Woolley of Matlock 30 pounds each and
the rest 20 each)."
"The 'de Sappertons', held a manor here for a quarter of a knight's fee
certainly until the 15th century, and the Blounts also seem to have held a manor
here at the end of the 14th century. Apperton became the property at the Agards
of Foston in the 16th century, and a century later was sold in shares to the
Woolleys and the Bates."
"the new gentry and yoeman families of Gell, Woolley, Wigley, Shakerley and
Northedge, amongst others; and merchant families such as Ferne and Deane. Many
of these families were linked by marriage."
"Of the brenner families of the Low Peak only the Gells, Wigleys, Woolleys,
Rollestons, Knivetons, Berfords and Columbells adopted successfully the new
ore-hearth smelting process."
"Woolleys statement (c.1712-15) that the town of Derby was an entrepot for the
export of lead"
"However, other local families who had long been engaged in the industry as
brenners, rapidly adopted the new smelting technique and forsook their old
"smelting soon developed into a service industry, in which the mill operators
smelted ore both for themselves and for customers (thus Adam Woolley in c. 1609
charged local miners 16s. a fother, inclusive of 'wood and workmanship', to
smelt their ore)."
"Adam Woolley (1758-1827) a member of the ancient family of Wolley of Riber and
an attorney by profession, was another well known antiquary and made an immense
collection of papers on Derbyshire history, which are now bound in many stately
volumes in the British library."
"In the north county a number of gentry families were hunting hares in the 17th
century (e.g. Richard Senior of Cowley and William Woolley of Riber), and in the
Georgain period Sir Sitwell Sitwell (d.1811) is known to have kept a pack of
harriers (which once pursued a tiger that had escaped from a menagerie in
Sheffield), as well as owning fighting cocks."
"Other contemporary Derbyshire clockmakers included James Woolley of Codnor (who
was succeeded by his nephew John c.1795, Francis Tatum d. 1752 and his cousin
Jonathan d.1733, both of Derby and William Cother also of Derby."
"Thomas Smith Woolley ran a land agency firm at South Collingham (Notts.) (from
where his successors still carry on a similar business):"
"In his description of Derby (1712-15) William Woolley declared that "the
principal trade of the town is that of malting, with which they supply a great
part of Cheshire, Staffordshire and Lancashire ... As also the bakers trade,
which from this town supplies most of the Peak country with bread made of hard
corn, they having not much but oats amongst themselves. This town is also very
famous for very good ale, which the brewers send to London and other parts...'
Woolleys observation that Derby supplied the Peak District with bread is
That is all for now, enjoy.
All the best, Elizabeth

George "Dod" Allan was Liverpool's first great goalscorer in the Football League and the first Reds player to be capped for Scotland on 3rd of April 1897.
Strongly-built, quick and skillful Allan burst onto the scene in the 1895-96 season with a staggering 25 goals from only 20 league matches as the club won the Second Division.
He was Liverpool's top-scorer the following season with 17 goals from 34 games as the Reds finished 5th in the First Division.
Allan moved to Celtic in May 1897 where he helped the club to its fourth championship by scoring 15 goals in 17 league games.
Liverpool held his registration, but still quite happily paid 50 pounds to get him back before the 1898-1899 season in which they finished second in First Division, with Allan scoring 11 goals in 36 games.
In the pre-season of the 1899-1900 season it was reported that Allan was too ill for training. He died of tuberculosis in Earlsbury, Fife, when he was only 24 years old on 16th of October 1899.

A HUGE turnout is expected at a firefighters' charity car wash on Saturday for Kyrece Francis, organised by his former football coach to raise money for the fund set up in his memory.
Full time firefighter Neil Curry coached the teenager at Downley Dynamos for the past three years and said his tragic death in the River Thames last week has rocked the whole community.
And along with his colleagues at Beaconsfield Fire Station, Mr Curry will roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty to support the fund launched by the 13-year-old's friends for safety equipment along the river.
He said: "I coached Kyrece for the past three years, and he was a wonderful lad and did such a great job playing as a right back. He was so fast, like Usain Bolt.
"It's is such a massive shame, we will all miss him dearly, so I set this up for the cause as it's so close to my heart.
"I've got a feeling it's going to be a busy day. We are trying to get the whole football team along, and we will get them all working!"
The Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue team worked alongside specialist police search crews during the four hour sweep of the River Thames near Marlow last Tuesday after Kyrece got into difficulties while playing with friends.
And firefighters say their involvement in the teenager's tragic death has made them even more determined to raise funds to prevent future accidents with the installation of life jackets, buoys and awareness signs along the Thames Path.
Bucks Fire and Rescue Spokesman Fraser Pearson said: "Everyone has been so moved by this tragedy, especially Neil as both his coach and a firefighter.
"Obviously, like his friends, family and the whole community, we are devastated and being involved in the rescue makes it all the more poignant."
Along with his Downley teammates, Kyrece's friends and family are expected to attend to raise as much as possible for the fund set up in his memory.
The car wash is scheduled to run from 10am until 2pm at Beaconsfield Fire Station, Skelton Close, Holtspur.

Mentorship in the academic health sciences has an important influence on academic productivity, personal development, and career guidance.
Mentoring has been defined as a "dynamic, reciprocal relationship in a work environment between an advanced career incumbent and a beginner aimed at promoting the development of both."
It is also a personal process that combines role modeling, apprenticeship, and nurturing. Responding to the results of faculty surveys, the USF Health Faculty Mentoring Program is being established with the goals of supporting the retention and personal development of the highest quality faculty, increasing faculty diversity through improved mentoring of faculty, and improving faculty career satisfaction and success.
Presently assistant, associate, and full professors in the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health including all Medicine courtesy faculty are eligible to participate in the mentoring program. All participating mentee faculty may be paired with potential mentors who are senior faculty responsible for providing career guidance and support. Development of the program is ongoing.
The program aims to support faculty in their pursuit of a successful and satisfying career. Ultimately, this will facilitate the achievement of USF Health's goals of national prominence in healthcare, research, education, and community service. This program will match mentors and mentees from different colleges/programs at USF and will supplement existing departmental mentorship programs.
Our vision is for the USF faculty mentoring program to become a national center of excellence for mentoring in the academic health sciences.

Live Commentary
Well, that's it for today folks. Thanks for joining us this afternoon. I'm Tom McKeown and I hope to see you again for more action very soon.
Olivier Giroud had a golden opportunity to win it for the hosts and kick off his Arsenal career in style, but it wasn't meant to be. Meanwhile, Sunderland look like they will be very tough to beat, but will need to show more prowess going forward if they are to register some wins.
FULL-TIME! The corner is cleared and Chris Foy ends the game. Sunderland hold on for a point with some stoic defending. Frustration for Arsenal and everyone will be asking whether the lack of goals was down to the lack of a certain Dutch striker.
90' + 4'Sunderland give the ball away and Ramsey works the ball to Gervinho. The Ivorian tries to find space to shoot but Richardson challenges well to clear. The ball is fired back in and Sunderland clear for a corner. One final chance?
90' + 3'Jenkinson hits another cross which deflects for a corner, but the ball doesn't clear the first defender and the frustration goes on.
90' + 1'The hosts have bodies in the box but can't get a shot away. It comes out to Carl Jenkinson who disappointingly overhits the cross and it goes behind.
90'Four minutes of added time at the Emirates Stadium. Not long left for Arsenal to win it.
89'Arsenal still trying to load the box, and Sunderland STILL shutting them out. Heroic defending from O'Neill's side.
87'Louis Saha showing all his experience there, stealing the ball in midfield and drawing a foul from Andrei Arshavin to keep the ball and buy the visitors more time.
86'It comes to nothing as the cross flies harmlessly past everyone in the box, and Arsenal stride forward.
85'The Black Cats are enjoying a very rare spell of possession. David Meyler has the ball in the corner and is fouled by Cazorla. Free-kick in a dangerous position...
83'I'm still in shock from that miss. Ramsey's pass was absolutely superb and deserved a goal on its own. Giroud will be praying the Gunners can find a winner now.
82'WHAT. A. CHANCE. Ramsey slots a fantastic inside pass into the path of Giroud but the Frenchman, with the goal at his mercy, blasts it wide. An absolute sitter.
81'Inside the last ten minutes here at the Emirates Stadium. Can Arsenal find the all-important winner?
80'Gervinho nearly finds Ramsey with a deft little chest down, but the visitors scramble it clear again. Sunderland starting to look tired; they've worked very hard this afternoon.
79'SubstitutionSebastian Larsson David Meyler
78'Cuellar makes another superb block as Giroud tries to reach Thomas Vermaelen's diagonal ball. A very impressive debut from the defender.
76'SubstitutionTheo Walcott Andrey Arshavin
76'Cazorla latches on to a loose ball and works it into the box towards Olivier Giroud, but the striker can't get a shot away. Arsenal keep the ball and a cross is whipped in towards Giroud again, but the Frenchman volleys well over the bar.
75'There's a distinct lull in the game at the moment. It's all being played in midfield and Sunderland will be very happy to keep Arsenal at arm's length.
73'Boos ring around the stadium as Cuellar limps off very slowly for treatment. Mr Wenger looks distinctly unimpressed and tells the referee as much. Play gets back underway with the visitors in possession but they concede a free-kick and Arsenal look to attack again.
71'Gibbs wins a corner off Gardner, their fifth of the match. Cazorla whips it in but Sunderland clear their lines easily. Frustration ever-growing for the hosts.
70'Substitute Aaron Ramsey almost makes an immediate impact, picking up the ball 25-yards out and firing an effort towards goal, but Mignolet saves comfortably.
69'SubstitutionA. Diaby Aaron Ramsey
69'SubstitutionFraizer Campbell Ahmed El Mohamady
68'Cazorla gets hold of the ball in midfield again and works it wide to Gervinho, but Sunderland are holding their shape and are still keeping out the hosts, much to the home fans' frustration.
65'Gervinho has been very lively in this second half. The Ivory Coast forward darts inside from the left and drives low, but the ball is blocked and Sunderland continue to survive. Just.
64'SubstitutionStéphane Sessegnon Louis Saha
64'SubstitutionLukas Podolski Olivier Giroud
63'This is as one-sided as it can get at the moment. Cattermole fouls Diaby and the Gunners press forward again. Richardson skews his clearance and it's whipped back across the six-yard box. The ball finds its way to Walcott, but he can't direct it and the ball slams into the side netting.
61'Gervinho makes another fine run towards goal but can't get a shot away. It falls to Cazorla who tries a left-footed volley first time, and it whistles just wide of Mignolet's near post.
60'The visitors are struggling to get out of the final third. They're standing firm but Arsenal keep pressing.
58'Podolski whips the free-kick left-footed over the wall, but it's too high and goes a yard over the bar.
57'Walcott is in full flow, cutting inside and is cleaned out by Richardson. Arsenal have a dangerous free-kick here, around 25 yards out.
55'Sunderland are starting to give the ball away cheaply. Gervinho is the grateful recipient of a loose pass, but overruns it down the left flank and it rolls for a goal kick.
54'Cazorla can't quite thread it through to Gervinho in the box but Arsenal keep hold of possession. Pressure building here on Martin O'Neill's side.
52'Cazorla finds more space in midfield and attempts another 25-yarder, but Cuellar is there once again to get in the way and the ball goes clear.
50'Gervinho picks up the ball at halfway and nearly sets Podolski free with a through pass, but it's cut out superbly by Cuellar who sprinted across to make the interception.
49'Podolski brings the ball down in the box but can't get his shot away. Cazorla's effort is blocked and the visitors move forward. Arteta gives Larsson the lightest of nudges halway inside the Arsenal half and the referee gives a free-kick.
47'Kieran Gibbs is caught by Fraizer Campbell in midfield, but it's a fairly pedestrian start to the half.
46'Both sides are unchanged as Sunderland start the second half.
Well, I wasn't sure if I dared say it, but Mr Clarke has gone for it. Can Arsenal move on from the loss of Van Persie? Gunners fans will certainly be hoping so in this second half. The players are out and we're moments away from the restart.
Josh Clarke reports: "An intriguing encounter at the Emirates with Arsenal arguably the better of the two as we reach half-time. The hosts have dominated possession, with Santi Cazorla and Lukas Podolski both going close to netting on their debuts. That's not to say Sunderland aren't threatening the Gunners though, with Martin O'Neill's team demonstrating their potency on the break whenever possible. Arsene Wenger won't be too upset with how things have gone, but it's clear to all that the clinical nature of Robin van Persie isn't easily replicated."
Santi Cazorla almost certainly the stand-out player in that half. He's looking a lively prospect for the Premier League this season. Sunderland will be happy to go into the break without conceding, but they've had a few chances of their own and will need to take them if they want anything from this game.
45' + 1'And that is in fact half-time. Fairly frustrating for the Gunners as they fail to get the breakthrough they've been pressing for, but Sunderland's tactics mean they'll see plenty more of the ball in the second half.
45'Sunderland keeping the ball now. They just want to get into the dressing room for a breather.
44'Arsenal still probing and pushing forward, but it's all been a bit frustrating so far. We're about to enter stoppage time, and there will be just one minute.
42'CHANCE! Walcott receives the ball in the area and skips past a challenge, pulling back to Podolski, but Craig Gardner produces a fantastic challenge to put it behind and stop the new Arsenal man giving the Gunners the lead. Great defending.
41'Semi-chance for Sunderland. Colback is found on the right-hand side of the box and drives the ball low towards the near post from a tight angle, but it can only find the side-netting.
39'Lee Cattermole flies into a challenge to win the ball - fairly, I might add - and Sunderland pick up possession. Sessegnon's long-range effort is blocked by the lofty Per Mertesacker but the Black Cats keep the ball.
37'Sebastian Larsson is clearly not liking the sun. He's just given the ball away twice in succession, and the second time nearly led to a chance as Gervinho looks for Podolski, but it's just behind the German's stride.
35'Podolski chests down beautifully to Cazorla as the new boys link up well, but the lively Spaniard gives the ball away cheaply and the Gunners have to start again from the back.
34'The sun is still beaming down on the Emirates Stadium this afternoon. Only the players on the near side are getting any respite thanks to the shadow from the roof, and Arsenal have just slowed things down a bit as they look to press forward again.
32'Richardson gives it away cheaply, and tries - somewhat cheekily - to block Gervinho off. Referee Chris Foy is no fool, and gives the free-kick 35 yards out. Mikel Arteta is on the end of it, but blasts his shot high, wide and definitely not handsome.
30'Walcott has moved over to the left wing, and is almost in straight away. Cazorla is in the mix again, poaching the ball and rolling it into Walcott's path, but the England international strays inches offside and the Black Cats survive.
29'Sunderland camped in their own half at the moment, with the hosts completely monopolising possession. If it carries on like this, it's surely a matter of time before the Gunners break the deadlock.
27'GREAT SAVE! Diaby receives the ball in midfield, shimmies to create himself some space and rolls it low towards the left-hand corner. Not much pace on it but Mignolet is at full stretch to tip it wide.
25'Cazorla cuts in from the left and whips a superb cross into the box. Theo Walcott does well to get on the end of it but can't direct the ball anywhere near the goal and it drifts harmlessly off target.
24'Sunderland clearly have a game plan here: stay organised and break forward quickly. Arsenal having more and more of the ball now as the hosts decide to take charge of the match.
22'Podolski nearly sneaks one in at the near post but it's scrambled away by the Sunderland defence for a corner. Carlos Cuellar then does well to snatch the ball from Abou Diaby as he tries to reach the resulting corner.
21'A couple of great chances for the Spaniard in this match already. He'll be very happy with his debut so far. As we approach the halfway mark of the half, we're still goalless and it's pretty even.
18'GREAT CHANCE! Gervinho shows some fine skill to skip a challenge and burst into the box from the left. He pulls back towards Cazorla, but the debutant doesn't quite wrap his foot around the ball and it zips just wide of the near post.
17'Sunderland moving around nicely with the ball, showing a lot of fluidity in possession. Mr Wenger definitely has his work cut out this afternoon.
15'Colback flies down the right-hand side to latch on to a long pass. He's looked lively so far, but slips a disappointing pass inside towards Sessegnon and the ball is easily cut out. Sunderland probably the happier side so far though.
13'The Black Cats are starting to get a foothold in the game as the hosts go through a spell of sloppy passing. Sunderland enjoying more possession but not making any inroads yet.
11'Commentator's Curse almost strikes immediately as Sunderland have a great chance. Stephane Sessegnon rolls the ball square to Colback who drills low from 20 yards, but an Arsenal leg takes the pace off the strike and Szczesny is able to save with his legs.
10'Still all Arsenal as we reach the ten-minute mark. Martin O'Neill's side are standing firm and looking organised though. Could be a long afternoon for the Sunderland defence.
8'Abou Diaby strides forward after pinching the ball from Jack Colback, but couldn't quite find an Arsenal man in the box. Encouraging post-RVP stuff from the Gunners though.
6'That was a lovely darting run by Cazorla. He looks good, this chap. Arsenal are starting to take charge. Plenty of possession for the hosts in these early minutes but Cazorla's strike is the only real chance for them so far.
5'Chance! James McClean springs the offside trap to latch on to Kieran Richardson's pass, but drills low into Wojciech Szczesny's feet. At the other end, Santi Cazorla shows some skill and blasts a 25-yarder which Mignolet parries away.
3'It's a fairly quiet start as the players acclimatise to the heat. It's a sweltering day in London. Simon Mignolet scrambles to clear a weak backpass but danger is averted.
1'Arsenal get us underway.
The opening day always serves up drama. The Black Cats haven't won at Arsenal since November 1985. Is it time to end the run? Well, the teams are out, and we're moments away...
Five minutes to go until kick-off. The players are making their way into the tunnel, the fans are finding their seats, it's a glorious day in north London and I'm getting very excited already.
Rule out Sunderland at your peril, though, my friends. They'll be looking to cause the Gunners some problems in the air this afternoon. 28 per cent of their goals last season came from headers; the highest proportion of all teams in the Premier League.
Can Arsene Wenger's side fill the huge void left by a certain Mr van Persie? Well, they're unbeaten in their last 11 opening day fixtures and have only lost once in 17 league games against the Black Cats. The odds certainly look to be in their favour for making a winning start today.
So, we have Gunners debuts for Santi Cazorla and Lukas Podolski, while Olivier Giroud has to make do with a place on the bench. Carlos Cuellar makes his Sunderland debut but Louis Saha is among Martin O'Neill's substitutes. Fifteen minutes until the Premier League season kicks off. Excited yet?
First up, a look at today's teams... Arsenal: Szczesny; Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs; Diaby, Arteta, Cazorla, Walcott, Gervinho; Podolski. Subs: Mannone, Djourou, Coquelin, Santos, Ramsey, Arshavin, Giroud. Sunderland: Mignolet; Gardner, O'Shea, Cuellar, Richardson; Larsson, Cattermole, Colback, McClean; Sessegnon, Campbell. Subs: Wickham, Kilgallon, Meyler, Bramble, Saha, Elmohamady, Westwood.
Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE! coverage here from the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal kick off their Premier League campaign against Sunderland and begin life without Robin van Persie. I'm Tom McKeown and I'm here to take you through all the action.

Religious but Not Spiritual
It was Memorial Sunday this weekend, so naturally I wore my white pencil skirt to church. Memorial Day weekend is the seasonal debut of the white section of my wardrobe: I only wear white skirts and shorts between Memorial Day and Labor Day, except for select "winter whites" that I'll wear in January and February. It's an entirely self-imposed rule, arbitrary and very limiting, observed by almost nobody else in my circles, of dubious provenance and doubtful utility. And it makes me ridiculously happy to observe it every year between May and September.
The whites rule is only one of several sumptuary regulations that I enjoy keeping. I have seasonal rules for when I wear tall boots and when I wear peep-toe pumps; policies for what I won't wear to weddings and what I will wear to business meetings. It bothers me not one whit if other people ignore or flout these rules, and I don't care if they notice or approve of my compliance. It's an entirely private pleasure to know and master these byways of custom.
Nor are clothes the only province of my affinity for folkways. I enjoy knowing and keeping traditional rules of housekeeping. For instance: I do my laundry on Monday, my grocery shopping on Thursday, and my baking on Saturday. I like to observe rules of formal etiquette, though I fail often in this realm. Most of all I love customary foodways. While on my mission in Portugal, I learned that fried fish should be served with rice, while boiled fish should be served with potatoes. This struck me as a wonderful rule to live by, and I have never deviated.
Certain holiday foods are compulsory in my kitchen: black-eyed peas on New Year's Day, soda bread on St Patrick's Day, flag cake on the Fourth of July, and on and on. On Thanksgiving I labor lovingly over my traditional homemade feast, rarely deviating from the menu and recipes I gathered early in my married life. I really do think there are two kinds of people in the world: those who take pleasure in observing the traditional Thanksgiving menu, and those who take pleasure in disregarding it. No question into which category I fall.
Religious traditions are the mother lode of traditional folkways. My own tradition, arising as it does from Puritan roots in New England, lacks its own calendar of religious festivals and holidays, so it's no surprise that I borrow liberally from other traditions: Fat Tuesday, Lent, Passover, Hanukkah, Advent. These borrowings are made greedily but with a bad conscience, for I know that without an undergirding spiritual connection and communal history my versions of these festivals are only an outward shell—some would say a profane mockery—of a true observance. I am the bane of the prophets: Amos said, "I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me"; Christ would recognize me straightaway as a whited sepulcher; Paul would observe that I exploit the forms of godliness but deny the power thereof. They are right about me.
Nevertheless, there is something about observing the "forms of godliness"—and the more workaday "forms of community"—that creates for me a deep sense of well-being in the world. I am religious but not spiritual. This inversion of the clichéd formula "spiritual but not religious" is by now a cliché itself. It even has its own spoof in The Onion! But it is true: I am drawn to the structure and beauty of religious tradition and cultural folkways, but I lack a strong spiritual sensibility or intuition.

Blade & Soul KR has released new updates on 3rd Aug 2016, with contents including a new 24-man raid (interestingly, this is a 2nd 24-man raid released this year after Vortex Temple). The name of the raid is google-translated as "Bastard's Refuge" which sounds quite weird ( =.= will change it if anyone can give me a better translation for 서자의 안식처). Further skill changes related to Warlock's Soulburn and Awakened skills for other classes are released on 17th Aug.
