The end of Highbury is close but the extent of Arsène Wenger's ambition just goes on and on.
In his final Premiership press conference of the season, the Frenchman was asked about his future plans. He spoke of creating a dynasty at Arsenal and his inspiration was a very significant figure in the history of the Club.
"I don't know what I do for the future yet," he said. "But we close Highbury on Sunday and I would never have thought when I arrived nine-and-a-half years ago I would do that. I didn't think I would stay as long as that and didn't think we'd need a new stadium.
"I would like to still create a dynasty here. I want to take further steps forward with a European [style] academy including a mix of Europe's and England's best players. There's still a lot to do to take this club forward."
Wenger's period in charge has seen a quantum leap for the Club. By the start of next season, he will have helped bring about a new stadium, a new training ground, complete overhaul of the youth development system, total about-turn in Arsenal's playing style, seven trophies and, just maybe, the biggest club prize in Europe.
He is a true innovator, just like the man who inspires him every time he enters the Marble Halls.
"When I walk into Highbury, I see Herbert Chapman's bust," said Wenger. "He was not just a guy who wanted to win games but he had a vision for the Club. What remains afterwards was not only the success he brought but the legacy he left for the Club. I have a big respect for him.
"But I don't want a bust because Chapman is Chapman and I'm Arsène Wenger."
For once, the current Arsenal manager may find himself at odds with his own supporters on that last point.

Great Job, Aggie!
Here is a recent photo of Aggie wearing her cancer-awareness pink MVP football jersey for Halloween.
She continues to defy the odds and beat lymphoma. At 13 and a half years young, she's still full of bounce, bark, and spunk.
Amazing and wonderful news, Ken.
Goooo, Aggie!

A depressing lack of sleep
07 April 2013 , 9:23 AM by Rob Minshull
Did you have a good night's sleep last night? Did you try to sleep in? Do you think it is possible to catch up on all the sleep you lost during the week?
Professor Dorothy Buck from Victoria University has been in Cairns this week for a health psychology conference. She says experiencing sleep difficulties early in life mean a much greater risk of developing depression later on.
Professor Buck is talking to Warren Boland.

Greetings to all,
I have been lurking for a few weeks now, decided it was time to introduce myself. A little about me; I am 41, was in the Army for almost 19 years, a student (thank you Army), and single. I got interested in costuming during the Albuquerque Comic Con. I did some searching on the internet and found this site and the Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club. On Saturday I spoke to members of the Black Fire Clan, from the Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club, and my interest grew even stronger.
I have looked all over the forums and have a good idea where I want to go with my armor and design. Being a starving student, I plan on scratch building my first kit. The tutorials I found have really helped to give me inspiration, but any suggestions on the best way to go about starting would be greatly appreciated.

I hope you weren't talking about me cause I'm one of the biggest picture poster on the NJ forum, cause I have invited many a member to hunt with me and I'll do the same for you, but like Dgram and JerseyDutch mentioned it is pretty quite round these parts til the season gets going. You'll find the members here are very friendly and we do share, more so than other states. But we are also protective of our spots because of the cyberscouting, so don't take offense.
I'm just up the road in Brigantine and shoot plenty of black ducks and Brant, but can see almost anything on any given day so if you're interested send me a PM and we'll try to make a plan.
So who do you carve with, Jamie? Tony?

I actually do a lot of carving with jamie hand and dave billig, they have been guiding to become a decoy carver for two years now I would say, I started when I was about 16/17 I'm only running up on 19 now! I know tony but he seems to enjoy some solitude, I'm a big fan of his work though.

Big difference between JC and Denville. I'm in Jefferson which is right next to Rockaway. I'm 10 min from the Rockaway mall. There's a few decent spots up here, you just need to do your homework.

I just moved out of JC a few months ago and am now up in Northern Bergen county. There's a spot just a few min. / miles from you there and if you think Jersey is good, you should check out NY. I'm always looking for folks to go with so let me know if you want to get together and I'd be happy to bring you around to places I know.

Other than that, I try to go up to the ADKs as much as possible since I have a couple friends with houses up there or the Catskills since they are closer. I've only been up to the Finger Lakes area one time, but it was vacation and not hunting - but I loved it.
NY just has way more public land (and allows Sun. hunting) - although its obviously mostly much further spread out than in NJ since its a much bigger state.

Mayerson to Deliver 24th annual I. Goodman Cohen Lecture in Trial Advocacy, Feb. 26
DETROIT (Jan. 29, 2008) –Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce that Arlene Mayerson, Directing Attorney of the Disability Rights and Education Fund (DREDF), will deliver the 24th annual I. Goodman Cohen Lecture in Trial Advocacy on Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2008.
Mayerson's lecture, "Caste to Class: Busting Barriers Along the Road to Citizenship," will begin at 4 p.m. in the Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium at the Wayne State University Law School located at 471 W. Palmer St. in Detroit. The lecture will be followed by a reception.
Mayerson is one of the nation's leading experts in disability rights law and has been a key advisor to both Congress and the disability community on the major disability rights legislation for the past three decades, including the Handicapped Children's Protection Act, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
She has testified as an expert witness before several committees of Congress, and represents people with disabilities and parents of children with disabilities in cutting edge class actions in education and access to public services. She has represented parties and amici curiae, including disability organizations and members of Congress, on key disability rights cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1995, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education appointed Arlene Mayerson to the Civil Rights Reviewing Authority, and she served for three two-year terms until 2001.
In addition to her position at DREDF, Mayerson holds a faculty appointment in disability law at the University of California, Berkeley (Boalt Hall School of Law). She has published many articles on disability rights and is the author of a comprehensive three-volume treatise, The ADA: Americans with Disabilities Act Annotated—Legislative History, Regulations & Commentary (Clark Boardman Callaghan, 1994), which sets forth the legislative history and regulations for each provision of the ADA.
Mayerson serves on the Board of Directors of The Impact Fund and won the Spirit of Independence Leading Advocate Award from the Center for Independent Living in 1993 and the American Diabetes Association Public Policy Award in 1997. She earned a B.S. degree from Boston University, a J.D., Order of the Coif, from Boalt Hall, and an L.L.M. from Georgetown University.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Parking is available in structure #1 across from the Law School, on Palmer Street (corner of Cass) for $3.50. For further information, please contact the Dean's Office at (313) 577-3933.
The I. Goodman Cohen Lecture in Trial Advocacy was established through the generosity of the family of the late I. Goodman Cohen, a prominent trial attorney who was active in the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association. Each year, a leading jurist is invited to the Law School to deliver a public lecture on an aspect of trial advocacy. In addition, the speaker is invited to informal meetings with students and faculty. The Lecture is intended to supplement the Law School's training program in trial skills and to add to the variety of professional perspectives students receive during their time at the Law School.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

text: When Mirai finished her free skate tonight, I was truly happy for her. Besides the step out on the triple flip, I thought everything was clean, and I was thinking she would score somewhere in the 120-125 range. When I saw 109 on my TV screen, I screamed and almost lost it. I had my heart in my mouth . I can go on endlessly on my opinion of how it was rigged, how she was unfairly punished, and all...but it's useless trying to change what can't (the results). I started this thread because I'm curious to hear (and brainstorm!) what Nagasu needs to do to get back to the form that got her in 1st place after the short program at the World Championships in 2010. I love her and her skating so much, and I truly want her to succeed...Is her career a lost cause? Is USFSA black-bombing her to make way for new talent? What does she need to do? Was it just terrible, terrible luck to be feeling ill during Nationals? Just curious to hear everyone's opinions.

This is a very old DOS game I'm not exactly sure the name of it here's what I remember .
Was a DnD type game wizards etc.
2.5d everything was sprite based but had a first person view kind of like DOOM.
You were able to type questions and answers to NPC's using your keyboard and they would answer.
Could bash doors and they would start cracking.
There was a quest where you had to help some mute wizard.
I think there was a quest for a group of ogres that talked about a whitewyrm or king of wyrms I forget.
The first area had rats and lizardmen in a sewer.

Technology, Gaming Priorities for Washington Co. Delegation
ANNAPOLIS, MD - The Washington County Delegation met for the first time this legislative session Wednesday morning.
The eight-member delegation kicked things into high gear in Annapolis and went through six county bills.
"The main priority of the delegation, and we're pretty unified on this, is the disparity grant. This is funding for the local government that was cut back in 2009. We're working really hard to try and get that restored. Ultimately, it would benefit public education in Washington County," says Sen. Chris Shank, (R) - Washington County.
The delegation also wants to change the definition of an "amusement device" to include games paid through a coin, token, or something else of value.
Another bill would authorize bond money for capital improvement projects.
"Every now and then, they have to come to the state legislature to get approval. They've asked for $20 million less than they did many years ago. We approved that level. It's enabling. They have to decide if and when they want to go to the market and borrow money," Del. Andrew Serafini, (R) - chairman of the Washington County Delegation.
The delegation also voted to give the county sheriff a pay raise from $88,000 to $100,000 a year.
"The county recommended increasing the sheriff's salary, and we're going to support the county. We voted to approve the increase in the sheriff's salary, but we're also going to try and make sure that decision in the future can be determined right at the county level," says Del. Neil Parrott, (R) - vice chairman of the Washington County Delegation.
Technology has become a big part of Washington County. Another bill would allow electronics and hardware companies to pay their personal property taxes over several years, instead of having to pay them all up front.
"There are opportunities to bring high-paying jobs into our county, so it's all about increasing the opportunity for work for the people that need it," says Ruth Anne Callaham, (R) - Washington County Commissioner.
"I think this would be a big benefit to technology companies, especially those who want to come into Washington County and have a major big investments at first so they won't be hit with not only a huge major investment but then with a huge property tax to follow," Parrott says.
Washington County will be added onto a Frederick County bill giving a property tax credit to small businesses.
These are issues the delegation will hash out for the next two and a half months of session.
The bills the delegation voted on will now go into committee. They'll then move to both the house and the senate for a vote.

Years ago the Muslim Brotherhood was considered among the most radical Muslim groups in the Middle East, and even today it is a vital force in Egypt. The organization is in the process of selecting a new "supreme guide." There is a young reform body within the organization but it lacks power and even clear directions as to where the organization should be headed. MB branches in other nations hold fair and free elections, but Egypt is still characterized by a small group deciding who will head the organization. The new leader has to revitalize the MB and establish a more democratic and egalitarian course if the younger generation is to be attracted.
On the other hand, there are members of the MB who believe the main focus should be on establishing relations with the Mubarak government in order to be transformed from an underground religious organization into a legally functioning opposition party in Parliament.

Cocaine May 'Teach' Addiction to Brain—Fast
(NEWSER) – Just one dose of cocaine may physically change the brain as the body begins "learning addiction," scientists say. They investigated the effect of the drug on mice, and noted that within two hours of being injected with the drug, brain changes were visible, the BBC reports. After two hours, scans showed that mice on the drug developed more dendritic spines—key to forming memories—than did mice injected with water. "Our images provide clear evidence that cocaine induces rapid gains in new spines, and the more spines the mice gain, the more they show they learned about the drug," says a researcher.

Measuring ROI on social software is an elusive topic, so it's wonderful when I find projects that have managed to quantify it in some way. The following story focuses on a particular task, that of social tagging.
The Enterprise Tagging Service in IBM aims to provide an alternative approach to helping people find information compared to traditional search engines. Search based on keyword analysis often relies on a taxonomy that is rigid due to the way the software performs its structural analysis of web pages, identifying and classifying the keywords. Social tagging allows people to add human semantics to keywords that they define that sometimes can amount to finding a resource faster based on what people think is relevant.
|IBM's ETS cost $700k to develop and deploy across the worldwide intranet as a sidebar to a number of key web properties: traditional search engine results, top content pages, and web applications like the IBM internal social brainstorming tool, Thinkplace. As a service it can really be added to any internal page. Readers can tag any page with the widget, look up tags they contributed, find others who have used the same tag, and certainly find other relevant resources by that same tag. The ETS tool was based on the Lotus Connections Dogear software.
The ETS team instituted a survey to ask users howthis tool helped them. What they found was amazing when you look at itin context: the average person saved 12 seconds, across the 286000+searches performed through ETS each week. This sums up to 955 hourssaved each week across the company. In terms of cost savings, itamounts to a rough estimate of $4.6 million a year, in terms ofproductivity gain. The reusability of this page widget also resulted in$2.4 million in cost avoidance (reimplementing this for eachsite).
This social task is spread across the IBMintranet site, but is essentially a single set of overall content setas a mass collaboration of knowledge; in other words, the knowledgedoes not get balkanized into separate tag systems, running in theclassic problem of information getting locked away in pockets in theorganization. It involves the swarm effects of many users contributing,each for their own need, but resulting in an overall benefit for allemployees.

Anyone who has seen The Hobbit remembers that scene in Bilbo's house when the dwarves start singing that low, gorgeous song. It's called "Misty Mountains," and my kids and I love it. My son said it takes him to faraway places in his mind. My daughter asked to have it played on repeat as she wrote in her journal. Although you can buy the soundtrack version, other people have taken their musical gifts to this tune. Enjoy!

This one with violin gave me chills. The parallel fifths harmony (all sung by one person) in the beginning brings us back in time, and then the singer lets loose some impressive cluster chords that I adore. When the violin harmonizes with itself, and the singing the background–woop!
Mixed voices a cappella take a slightly different, more march-like feel to the song, and with women! For anyone who loves baritones (and I do) check out the final note the guy sings on this one. Swoon…
And just for you nerds, this woman sang the full twenty-seven verses that Tolkien wrote:

A vital feature of FGBMFI meetings is mentoring and training in how to share your faith with work colleagues and introduce them to Jesus Christ; so that they can know God's power in their life.
The FGBMFI is all about real life experiences. What can be more relevant than sharing the experiences of men (and women), from all kinds of backgrounds in England, from marketing to plumbing, from farming to IT, from the boardroom to the unemployed.
You will meet men and women at FGBMFI, who know the pressures in business today. Through their personal stories, they share honestly how they have dealt with success that did not bring fulfilment, of failure that became the launch-pad for a new and purposeful life.
Married couples whose marriages were healed, addictions were overcome, business problems resolved, all through an encounter with a life transforming God, at one of FGBMFI meetings.
FGBMFI is the purpose and focus of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International. What began following a vision given to Demos Shakarian, a business man - dairy farmer, has now spread to 160 nations in every continent in the world, including England. The life changing story about FGBMFI is told in the book "The Happiest People On Earth".

Dear Brothers & Sisters in the Lord,
We don't want anyone to be misled with regard to their status in FGBMFI we want you to know that as far as FGBMFI is concerned you are still members and if you want to stay and serve the Lord through FGBMFI in these last days, you are very welcome.
Things cannot remain the same, for many years the leadership tried and failed to make our evangelistic outreach a success, this was not down to lack of effort, but FGBMFI in the UK, was estranged from the head of the fellowship and while committees are democratic, the Lord choses his man and the anointing flows down-line. In effect we had been cut off from the anointing for many years and for this reason we were not seeing the salvations that we experienced in the early days of FGBMFI. If the decline we experienced was also in the rest of the world, we could take comfort, but in reality those countries that have remained true to the anointing, have experienced a harvest far beyond their expectations.
The structure of FGBMFI remains as before, with Regional Directors, Field Reps, Chapter Presidents, Chapter Officers and Members, but there is now a new training programme, where every man/women has the opportunity to grow in service to the Lord and where there is a high standard of excellence, which is reflected in every Chapter across the country. The National Directors does not focus on bylaws which only affect the UK, but are responsible for reaching souls in the territory to which they have been appointed and they implement through Chapters, instructions from the International, who are responsible for maintaining the mass continuation of soul saving worldwide. Much of the pioneering work, in opening new Chapters is implemented at the Field Rep level, which also network with other organisations, in order to reach businessmen, while Chapter Presidents and Officers, make it their business to penetrate every aspect of their community, in order to reach as many of the lost as possible.
Richard Shakarian will bring over Fire Teams to help implement the biggest evangelistic outreach, to kick start the success of FGBMFI in the UK. Richard Shakarian is not known to many members in the UK, but Richard is very much a peoples person and where we have started new chapters, we have been able to link up with Richard through the media of the Internet, in order to have a closer working relationship between Richard and all the fellowship members Internationally.
We continue to open Ladies Chapters and Youth Chapters, people are phoning who are being prompted of the Lord to ask for a Chapter in their town. Some of those towns that the Lord has laid upon our heart are remote and even small, but we are happy to come in-line with the Lords will.
We take seriously our calling in the Lord, to prepare men to serve in this end time harvest and therefore, we cannot continue the 'bless me clubs', where those attending are all Christians and there are no regular salvations. We are seeking men who will take their calling seriously and will put the Lords calling upon their lives above all else, so that they can reach their destiny. Chapter will be encouraged by other Chapters to raise the standard of soul saving, in heaven there is always room for one more and God is not willing that any shall perish.
If you wish to remain in FGBMFI to serve the Lord in an organisation that was initiated by the Lord himself, then please make contact with us, so that we can get you added to the UK register and start in the 'harvest field'.
Please call Lynn Heritage on Office 01685 720070, Home 01685 377971, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com and we will get back to you in the shortest possible time. We look forward to serving with you and to making a massive impact in the UK, where everyone needs a relationship with God.
Your brother in Christ,

Our History
BCCC is both an old and a young institution. The College was founded in 1947, as Baltimore Junior
College, a part of the Baltimore City Public Schools. Its mission was to provide post high school education for returning World War II veterans. In 1967, the College was renamed Community College of Baltimore and restructured as a department of the City of Baltimore. In the 1980s, shrinking resources made it difficult for the City to continue operating a quality institution of higher education. As a result, on July 1, 1990, the Maryland General Assembly created a new institution, New Community College of Baltimore, funded by the State of Maryland. The College was granted permanent state status in 1992 and renamed Baltimore City Community College.

What Jesus was saying to her was don't commit adultery again. If she got caught again, He might not be there to bail her out again. Everything Jesus said 2000 years ago is relevant for today. If we are truly Christians and we know that what we're about to do is sinful, the Holy Spirit will let us know it's wrong and not to do it. At that point you're at a crossroad, do we choose our will or do we choose Gods will for our life. Paul said, " What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! Rom 6:1-2 Gods grace will cover our sins, but at the same time He doesn't want us to commit those sins.
It's true at the time of our sin, all we need to do is ask God to forgive us and He will forgive us At the same time we need to head the words of Jesus and "sin no more". When we truly love someone we do everything in our power not offend that person and our relationship with that person. The same thing applies here with our relationship with God; by willfully sinning we damage our relationship with Him. Now if we just do something stupid without thinking that's easy, we just ask for forgiveness and it's taken care of. As Christians we can't truly enjoy living a sinful life, that's impossible you can't do it. The Holy Spirit well dog you with conviction till you stop sinning. I hope this helps, later dude

By Richard Clarke
Lukasz Fabianski is rated as "50:50" for the trip to West Ham on Saturday.
The Pole has a shoulder problem and faces a fitness test on Friday morning. If he fails to recover then compatriot Wojciech Szczesny should continue to deputise. The 20-year-old has been between the posts for the last two games – both cup ties - however Fabianski was due to return this weekend.
Denilson (thigh) is a doubt but, apart from that, Arsène Wenger can select from an unchanged squad for the game at Upton Park. The manager also announced "quite good news" about Thomas Vermaelen. Tests this week revealed no long-term concern over his Achilles injury. That said, the Belgian's return is not imminent.
"Fabianski has a chance for Saturday," the Frenchman told Arsenal TV Online on Thursday. "He has a little shoulder inflammation. He will have a test tomorrow, it is 50:50.
"From last night we have uncertainty about Denilson too. He has a little thigh problem but we are still optimistic that he will be available.
"Apart from that we have no one coming back. Sagna is suspended while Diaby, Squillaci and Vermaelen are out.
"With Thomas, the news is quite good. He has no long-term problem but we still need to be patient in the next weeks."
TV Online subscribers can see the interview later. In it he talks about:
- what he expects at West Ham
- the teams at the bottom of the table
- the pressure on Avram Grant
- finding time to bring in a centre back
- the transfer market in general
- the possibility of players going out
- Aaron Ramsey's short-term future
- getting the sharpness back

A few words from Iacocca
Where have al the leaders gone?
Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course."
Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out!
You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore. The President of the United States is given a free pass to ignore the Constitution, tap our phones, and lead us to war on a pack of lies. Congress responds to record deficits by passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I don't need it). The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of America my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?
I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have.
My friends tell me to calm down. They say, "Lee, you're eighty-two years old. Leave the rage to the young people." I'd love toas soon as I can pry them away from their iPods for five seconds and get them to pay attention. I'm going to speak up because it's my patriotic duty. I think people will listen to me. They say I have a reputation as a straight shooter. So I'll tell you how I see it, and it's not pretty, but at least it's real. I'm hoping to strike a nerve in those young folks who say they don't vote because they don't trust politicians to represent their interests. Hey, America, wake up. These guys work for us.
Who Are These Guys, Anyway?
Why are we in this mess? How did we end up with this crowd in Washington? Well, we voted for themor at least some of us did. But I'll tell you what we didn't do. We didn't agree to suspend the Constitution. We didn't agree to stop asking questions or demanding answers. Some of us are sick and tired of people who call free speech treason. Where I come from that's a dictatorship, not a democracy.
And don't tell me it's all the fault of right-wing Republicans or liberal Democrats. That's an intellectually lazy argument, and it's part of the reason we're in this stew. We're not just a nation of factions. We're a people. We share common principles and ideals. And we rise and fall together.
Where are the voices of leaders who can inspire us to action and make us stand taller? What happened to the strong and resolute party of Lincoln? What happened to the courageous, populist party of FDR and Truman? There was a time in this country when the voices of great leaders lifted us up and made us want to do better. Where have all the leaders gone?
The Test of a Leader
I've never been Commander in Chief, but I've been a CEO. I understand a few things about leadership at the top. I've figured out nine pointsnot ten (I don't want people accusing me of thinking I'm Moses). I call them the "Nine Cs of Leadership." They're not fancy or complicated. Just clear, obvious qualities that every true leader should have. We should look at how the current administration stacks up. Like it or not, this crew is going to be around until January 2009. Maybe we can learn something before we go to the polls in 2008. Then let's be sure we use the leadership test to screen the candidates who say they want to run the country. It's up to us to choose wisely.
So, here's my C list:
A leader has to show CURIOSITY. He has to listen to people outside of the "Yes, sir" crowd in his inner circle. He has to read voraciously, because the world is a big, complicated place. George W. Bush brags about never reading a newspaper. "I just scan the headlines," he says. Am I hearing this right? He's the President of the United States and he never reads a newspaper? Thomas Jefferson once said, "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate for a moment to prefer the latter." Bush disagrees. As long as he gets his daily hour in the gym, with Fox News piped through the sound system, he's ready to go.
If a leader never steps outside his comfort zone to hear different ideas, he grows stale. If he doesn't put his beliefs to the test, how does he know he's right? The inability to listen is a form of arrogance. It means either you think you already know it all, or you just don't care. Before the 2006 election, George Bush made a big point of saying he didn't listen to the polls. Yeah, that's what they all say when the polls stink. But maybe he should have listened, because 70 percent of the people were saying he was on the wrong track. It took a "thumping" on election day to wake him up, but even then you got the feeling he wasn't listening so much as he was calculating how to do a better job of convincing everyone he was right.
A leader has to be CREATIVE, go out on a limb, be willing to try something different. You know, think outside the box. George Bush prides himself on never changing, even as the world around him is spinning out of control. God forbid someone should accuse him of flip-flopping. There's a disturbingly messianic fervor to his certainty. Senator Joe Biden recalled a conversation he had with Bush a few months after our troops marched into Baghdad. Joe was in the Oval Office outlining his concerns to the Presidentthe explosive mix of Shiite and Sunni, the disbanded Iraqi army, the problems securing the oil fields. "The President was serene," Joe recalled. "He told me he was sure that we were on the right course and that all would be well. 'Mr. President,' I finally said, 'how can you be so sure when you don't yet know all the facts?'" Bush then reached over and put a steadying hand on Joe's shoulder. "My instincts," he said. "My instincts." Joe was flabbergasted. He told Bush, "Mr. President, your instincts aren't good enough." Joe Biden sure didn't think the matter was settled. And, as we all know now, it wasn't.
Leadership is all about managing changewhether you're leading a company or leading a country. Things change, and you get creative. You adapt. Maybe Bush was absent the day they covered that at Harvard Business School.
A leader has to COMMUNICATE. I'm not talking about running off at the mouth or spouting sound bites. I'm talking about facing reality and telling the truth. Nobody in the current administration seems to know how to talk straight anymore. Instead, they spend most of their time trying to convince us that things are not really as bad as they seem. I don't know if it's denial or dishonesty, but it can start to drive you crazy after a while. Communication has to start with telling the truth, even when it's painful. The war in Iraq has been, among other things, a grand failure of communication. Bush is like the boy who didn't cry wolf when the wolf was at the door. After years of being told that all is well, even as the casualties and chaos mount, we've stopped listening to him.
A leader has to be a person of CHARACTER. That means knowing the difference between right and wrong and having the guts to do the right thing. Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you want to test a man's character, give him power." George Bush has a lot of power. What does it say about his character? Bush has shown a willingness to take bold action on the world stage because he has the power, but he shows little regard for the grievous consequences. He has sent our troops (not to mention hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens) to their deathsfor what? To build our oil reserves? To avenge his daddy because Saddam Hussein once tried to have him killed? To show his daddy he's tougher? The motivations behind the war in Iraq are questionable, and the execution of the war has been a disaster. A man of character does not ask a single soldier to die for a failed policy.
A leader must have COURAGE. I'm talking about balls. (That even goes for female leaders.) Swagger isn't courage. Tough talk isn't courage. George Bush comes from a blue-blooded Connecticut family, but he likes to talk like a cowboy. You know, My gun is bigger than your gun. Courage in the twenty-first century doesn't mean posturing and bravado. Courage is a commitment to sit down at the negotiating table and talk.
If you're a politician, courage means taking a position even when you know it will cost you votes. Bush can't even make a public appearance unless the audience has been handpicked and sanitized. He did a series of so-called town hall meetings last year, in auditoriums packed with his most devoted fans. The questions were all softballs.
To be a leader you've got to have CONVICTIONa fire in your belly. You've got to have passion. You've got to really want to get something done. How do you measure fire in the belly? Bush has set the all-time record for number of vacation days taken by a U.S. Presidentfour hundred and counting. He'd rather clear brush on his ranch than immerse himself in the business of governing. He even told an interviewer that the high point of his presidency so far was catching a seven-and-a-half-pound perch in his hand-stocked lake.
It's no better on Capitol Hill. Congress was in session only ninety-seven days in 2006. That's eleven days less than the record set in 1948, when President Harry Truman coined the term do-nothing Congress. Most people would expect to be fired if they worked so little and had nothing to show for it. But Congress managed to find the time to vote itself a raise. Now, that's not leadership.
A leader should have CHARISMA. I'm not talking about being flashy. Charisma is the quality that makes people want to follow you. It's the ability to inspire. People follow a leader because they trust him. That's my definition of charisma. Maybe George Bush is a great guy to hang out with at a barbecue or a ball game. But put him at a global summit where the future of our planet is at stake, and he doesn't look very presidential. Those frat-boy pranks and the kidding around he enjoys so much don't go over that well with world leaders. Just ask German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who received an unwelcome shoulder massage from our President at a G-8 Summit. When he came up behind her and started squeezing, I thought she was going to go right through the roof.
A leader has to be COMPETENT. That seems obvious, doesn't it? You've got to know what you're doing. More important than that, you've got to surround yourself with people who know what they're doing. Bush brags about being our first MBA President. Does that make him competent? Well, let's see. Thanks to our first MBA President, we've got the largest deficit in history, Social Security is on life support, and we've run up a half-a-trillion-dollar price tag (so far) in Iraq. And that's just for starters. A leader has to be a problem solver, and the biggest problems we face as a nation seem to be on the back burner.
You can't be a leader if you don't have COMMON SENSE. I call this Charlie Beacham's rule. When I was a young guy just starting out in the car business, one of my first jobs was as Ford's zone manager in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. My boss was a guy named Charlie Beacham, who was the East Coast regional manager. Charlie was a big Southerner, with a warm drawl, a huge smile, and a core of steel. Charlie used to tell me, "Remember, Lee, the only thing you've got going for you as a human being is your ability to reason and your common sense. If you don't know a dip of horseshit from a dip of vanilla ice cream, you'll never make it." George Bush doesn't have common sense. He just has a lot of sound bites. You knowMr.they'll-welcome-us-as-liberators-no-child-left-behind-heck-of-a-job-Brownie-mission-accomplished Bush.
Former President Bill Clinton once said, "I grew up in an alcoholic home. I spent half my childhood trying to get into the reality-based worldand I like it here."
I think our current President should visit the real world once in a while.
The Biggest C is Crisis
Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.
On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. Where was George Bush? He was reading a story about a pet goat to kids in Florida when he heard about the attacks. He kept sitting there for twenty minutes with a baffled look on his face. It's all on tape. You can see it for yourself. Then, instead of taking the quickest route back to Washington and immediately going on the air to reassure the panicked people of this country, he decided it wasn't safe to return to the White House. He basically went into hiding for the dayand he told Vice President Dick Cheney to stay put in his bunker. We were all frozen in front of our TVs, scared out of our wits, waiting for our leaders to tell us that we were going to be okay, and there was nobody home. It took Bush a couple of days to get his bearings and devise the right photo op at Ground Zero.
That was George Bush's moment of truth, and he was paralyzed. And what did he do when he'd regained his composure? He led us down the road to Iraqa road his own father had considered disastrous when he was President. But Bush didn't listen to Daddy. He listened to a higher father. He prides himself on being faith based, not reality based. If that doesn't scare the crap out of you, I don't know what will.
A Hell of a Mess
So here's where we stand. We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country. We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia, while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble. Our borders are like sieves. The middle class is being squeezed every which way. These are times that cry out for leadership.
But when you look around, you've got to ask: "Where have all the leaders gone?" Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, competence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.
Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo? We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.
Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the hurricane, or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in the crucial hours after the storm. Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next time.
Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when "the Big Three" referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happenand more important, what are we going to do about it?
Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debt, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.
I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bobblehead on Fox News will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change?
Had Enough?
Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope. I believe in America. In my lifetime I've had the privilege of living through some of America's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crisesthe Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, the 1970s oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with 9/11. If I've learned one thing, it's this: You don't get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play. That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a call to action for people who, like me, believe in America. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's shake off the horseshit and go to work. Let's tell 'em all we've had enough.

He has a new book coming out titled "Where Have All the Leaders Gone?" and that's an excerpt from it.
I'm probably going to buy it when it hits the shelves.

What saved chrysler was the federal government giving them a ton of loans. Iacocca did not design the minivan, nor did he design the k car. Those 2 things"saved" chrysler. He was merely a puppet to go in front of the nation. He made several stupid decisions like saying "Chrysler does not need to produce vehicles in the same manner as the Japanese"

Lido is quite a personality, and very engaging to listen to. I have my doubts about the whole "father of the Mustang" thing, since he wasn't a "product guy". He did defend it, and prevent it's cancellation, but driving the mom to the hospital is not the same as participating in the conception .
Despite his long-time toading to the s, (the ones that gave him the loan guarantees) he makes a few good points about leadership, especially in terms of Hurricane Katrina - no leaders, just critics and whiners.
This is the Pub. Leave common sense at the door.

The big problem is that he's preaching to the choir. He goes on a hardcore anti-Bush rant, putting some people on the immediate defensive and closing some of the barely open minds. I, for example, consider myself to be primarily Republican. I voted for Bush in the last election and I stand by my choice that he was the better of the two major-party candidates.
However, I feel that Bush is taking our country further in the wrong direction. The damage he is doing right now will be felt by the next administration, and probably several after that. Whoever gets into office following Dubya will more than likely have to deal with the onslaught of "See, I told you that Democrats couldn't do any better" or "See, I told you a Republican couldn't fix the last one's mistakes".
The major point I'm trying to make is that attacking one person and making them the scapegoat isn't going to prove anything, except that you can scribble some words onto paper and assemble them into an argument that makes sense, but it only works if you're appealing to a larger audience. I think that the time has passed for writing letters that appeal to the anti-Bush crowd and start looking at ways we can fix things.
Rather than sitting here, reading Lee or my words and thinking that you either agree or disagree (frankly, I don't care which), DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. If you don't like how things are being dealt with in government, start writing emails, letters, faxes, making phone calls, working campaigns, etc. One voice in a crowd is hard to hear, but when that crowd is all shouting the same thing, the message gets much clearer.
Another action you can take is to VOTE. If we keep things the same (same people in power, ie. Granholm, Bush, etc), then we can't expect things to change. Michigan is in a sad state of affairs, and yet here we sit with essentially the same government, heading in the same direction we were prior to last November. Now, we're stuck with what we have. So... utilize it. Just because you might not have voted for Granholm or whoever, doesn't mean they don't work for you. Sitting here and replying to this message board won't get your voice heard in Lansing or D.C. If you write a letter or make that phone call, at least you are another voice in the crowd.
If we want to play the blame game, I say that you are free to point fingers all you want. However, when you point your first finger, make sure you're standing in front of a mirror.
(FYI, last year I worked in a campaign office during the governor's race, I'm active in several lobbyist groups, and wrote over 400 letters to my state reps, senators, governor, and the president. I also held a full time job and full time college schedule along with a pretty hardcore World of Warcraft addiction.)

Hi, I am currently stationed overseas and suppose to be coming back to the states in the beginning of 2013. As of right now I am getting orders to Eglin AFB. I am originally from North Mobile AL. I am trying to get into duck hunting and thought it would suite me best to try wood duck hunting since every where i read it says that wood ducks are far more plentiful than any other duck hunting in the area. I have grown up deer and small game hunting and now want to give duck hunting a try.
I am mainly looking for information on how to get started and what to look for as far as scouting and what areas hold the most wood duck populations. When scouting for whitetails I use topo maps and google earth to try and find travel corridoirs then go look at the areas. I am trying to do the same thing for duck hunting and wanted some information about what to look for.

Council of Europe: Reports on racism in Cyprus, Denmark, Italy, Luxembourg and the Russian Federation
Strasbourg, 16.05.2006 – The Council of Europe's expert body on combating racism, the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), today released five new reports examining racism, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in Cyprus, Denmark, Italy, Luxembourg and the Russian Federation. ECRI recognises that positive developments have occurred in all five of these Council of Europe member countries. At the same time, however, the reports detail continuing grounds for concern for the Commission:
In Cyprus, the legal and institutional framework against racial discrimination has been considerably strengthened. However, the continuing lack of a comprehensive immigration and integration policy has resulted in a particular vulnerability of immigrants to human rights violations, exploitation and discrimination. New opportunities for actively promoting dialogue and reconciliation between the members of the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities still remain to be seized.
Denmark adopted an Act on Ethnic Equal Treatment and created a Complaints Committee for Ethnic Equal Treatment, whose mandate is to examine complaints of discrimination in all areas, including employment. However, the Nationality Act, the Integration Act and the Aliens' Act have been further modified in a manner which disproportionately restricts the ability of members of minority groups to acquire Danish citizenship, to benefit from spousal and family reunification and to have access to social protection on par with the rest of society.
In Italy, the authorities have established a specialised body to combat racial discrimination, which assists victims and raise awareness of this phenomenon among the general public. However, immigration legislation has made the situation of many non-EU citizens more precarious, and its implementation, notably in respect of immigrants without legal status, has resulted in the exposure of these persons to a higher risk of human rights violations.
Luxembourg has adopted a new law easing the requirements for foreigners' participation in local elections. However, housing conditions for asylum seekers and refugees still leave much to be desired, and no policy has been introduced to integrate communities from an immigrant background in matters such as employment and housing.
In the Russian Federation, the criminal law provisions aimed at combating racism, racial discrimination and extremism have been reinforced and there have been some prosecutions of hate speech. However, there needs to be greater urgency at both local and national level in tackling the problem. The existing provisions are not adequately implemented particularly because the racist motive of an offence is not taken sufficiently into account. Visible minorities and members of minority religious groups are the main targets of racially motivated attacks.
These new reports form part of a third monitoring cycle of Council of Europe member states' laws, policies and practices aimed at combating racism. ECRI's country-specific reports are available in English, French and the national language of the country concerned at http://www.coe.int/ecri. They cover all member states on an equal footing, from the perspective of protecting human rights. They examine whether ECRI's main recommendations from previous reports have been followed and, if so, to what degree of success and effectiveness.

Water Safety Tips
It's not quite summer yet, but families are already enjoying time spent in pools and lakes. Every year when water activties increase we hear the sad news of someone's loved one drowning. There are safegueards people can take to make swimming and playing in the water safer and it's always appropriate to review them once again as the season begins.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has created a list of precautions to help keep children safe when they are playing near or in water.
Do swimming lessons for children 4 and under help prevent drowning?
Some parents believe that starting their toddler (or infant) with swimming lessons will give them an advantage if they somehow find themselves in water over their head. The AAP used to not recommend swimming lessons for children one to three years of age because there was little evidence that lessons prevented drowning or resulted in better swim skills. There was also concern that parents or guardians would become less vigilant about supervising a child who had learned some swimming skills.
However, small studies have shown that children who develop swimming skills at this age are less likely to drown. The studies don't define what type of lessons work best, so the AAP is not recommending mandatory swim lessons for all children ages 1 to 4 at this time. Instead, the new guidance recommends that parents should decide whether to enroll an individual child in swim lessons based on the child's frequency of exposure to water, emotional development, physical abilities, and certain health conditions related to pool water infections and pool chemicals.
The AAP does not recommend formal swimming lessons for children under the age of one.
If you do enroll your child in swimming lessons, make sure that pool safety guidelines set by the YMCA are used.
The AAP recommends these 12 safety rules for parents, guardians and children when they are around water:
- Be aware of small bodies of water your child might encounter, such as bathtubs, fishponds, ditches, fountains, rain barrels, creeks, watering cans—even the bucket you use when you wash the car. Empty containers of water when you're done using them. Children are drawn to places and things like these and need constant supervision to be sure they don't fall in.
- An adult, preferably one who knows CPR, should always be near and watch children who are swimming, even in a shallow toddler's pool. The adult should be within arm's length, providing "touch supervision" whenever infants, toddlers, or young children are in or around water. Empty and put away inflatable pools after each play session.
- Enforce safety rules: No running near the pool and no pushing others underwater.
- Don't allow your child to use inflatable toys or mattresses in place of a life jacket. These toys may deflate suddenly, or your child may slip off them into water that is too deep for him or her.
- Be sure the deep and shallow ends of any pool your child swims in are clearly marked. Never allow a child to dive into the shallow end.
- Backyard swimming pools, (including large, inflatable above-ground pools), should be completely surrounded with at least a 4-foot (1.2 meters) high fence that completely separates the pool from the house. The fence should have a self-closing and self-latching gate that opens away from the pool, with the latch at least 54 inches high. Check the gate frequently to be sure it is in good working order. Keep the gate closed and locked at all times. Be sure your child cannot manipulate the lock or climb the fence. No opening under the fence or between uprights should be more than 4 inches (10 cm) wide. Keep toys out of the pool area when not in use so that children are not tempted to try to get through the fence.
- If your pool has a cover, remove it completely before swimming. Also, never allow your child to walk on the pool cover; water may have accumulated on it, making it as dangerous as the pool itself. Your child also could fall through and become trapped underneath. Do not use a pool cover in place of a four-sided fence because it is not likely to be used appropriately and consistently.
- Keep a safety ring with a rope beside the pool at all times. If possible, have a phone in the pool area with emergency numbers clearly marked.
- Spas and hot tubs are dangerous for young children, who can easily drown or become overheated in them. Don't allow young children to use these facilities.
- Your child should always wear a life jacket when he swims or rides in a boat. A life jacket fits properly if you can't lift it off over your child's head after he's been fastened into it. For the child under age five, it also should have a flotation collar to keep the head upright and the face out of the water.
- Adults should not drink alcohol when they are swimming or boating. It presents a danger for them as well as for any children they might be supervising. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 70% of boating fatalities are alcohol related.
- Be sure to eliminate distractions while children are in the water. Talking on the phone, working on the computer, and other tasks need to wait until children are out of the water.
Drowning ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the United States. About one in five people who die from drowning are children 14 and younger. For every child who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries.
These statistics are not meant to scare you into not allowing your child to enjoy the benefits and fun of swimming. Swimming is great exercise and really enjoyable, particularly on a hot summer day. It's also a great family activity. These stats are to remind you that extra precautions and serious attention needs to be given when children are around water, so that fun doesn't turn into tragedy.

A trough lies just west of New Zealand. Speckled cloud can be seen in the unstable cold air behind the trough covering much of the Tasman Sea. Low level cloud is evident over tropical Queensland, Tasmania and along the south coast of the continent and is due to onshore flows driven by a firm ridge of high pressure. A band of cloud crossing the Bight indicates a cold front. More cold, unstable air lies west of this front, indicated by the area of patchy cloud. Skies are mostly clear over the northern half of the continent under the high pressure ridge.

Downtown Boise Living
Downtown Boise's quality of life, stems from it's the small town charm in a modern urban setting.
People still greet one another on the street. See friends enjoying conversation at one of the many sidewalk cafés. Many residents choose to walk or bike downtown because it is easily accessible from Boise's Greenbelt-a 30-mile bike and walking path along the Boise River. The Boise River passes quietly through the south end of downtown connecting Boise's many park areas and Boise State University and surrounding neighborhoods with the central business district. Boise's cultural district extends from the Boise Art Museum to the Idaho State House displaying Boise's growing public art collection and providing a pedestrian friendly connection.

Hi, I'm new here. I was told this was the best place in the web to find some help for my project.
I need to sort of vacuum form something, without a vacuum form table :)
I have heard of sintra, but then found out it was to thick for what I need. Then I was told Styrene was probably the right thing. Feel free to correct me :)
I need to build a diorama of a city. For that, I need many cars to fill the streets with. I need the 1/18 size scale. I probably need about 200-300 cars. That would get very expensive. So my idea it to buy like 10 differen models and some how use them as vacuum form molds and make shell replicas of them. They do need to have all the features like opening doors and etc that a diecast model do. Empty plastic shells, similar to thos radio control cars use will do the job. They just need to look like the cars.They will just stand there still. I can paint them and I have what I need. If the plastic I use to form is clear even better. So I have clear windows.
So my question is, can I do that with thin Styrene? Like heat it up and set it over the diecast car(the body only, without wheels etc) and it would melt down over it taking it's shape? Would it work that way? Is there a better way of doing this?
Also, diecast are metal, but I'm assuming it wouldn't work if I used a plastic kit model as the mold because of the heat?
All I need are empty light plastic(or the cheapest way) shells which look like cars. As I said, the clear plastic shells you cab buy for radio control is a perfect example. I just can't buy them in the right models of cars and the right scale. Any help is greatly appreciated. I know that's not Star Wras related, but I was told this place is the best for info on molding plastics.Thanks for your help.

Hey, web dev and design Sumo-lings, do you hate working long hours for someone who doesn't appreciate you? Doesn't it suck to bust your ass for someone less talented and less deserving than you, only to make them more money and make them seem more successful?

Well pack up your desk, trade your pleated slacks for pajama pants, and bid a long-overdue later, dude to your goober boss…
And you know what that means, right?
You're the boss. You decide what to work on, when to work on it, and how much you get paid for it. Wanna roll out of bed at noon and start your day? Do it. Wanna hunker down at an all-night coffee shop at 2:00 in the morning and power through your wireframes? That's all you.
Like many great things, it's a double-edged sword. You know that sucky goober of a boss from earlier?

That's more than enough to keep you busy and put you ahead of the freelancing curve and on your way to success. But this Sumo didn't build a reputation on just doing more than enough. No—'round here, things've gotta get RIDICULOUS.
When you grab this bundle now, you'll also get a few bonus goodies, like:
3 FREE Months of Smartsheet, a feature-packed, collaborative online project management app (usually a $32 value)…

The Chief Sumo
In high school I was ramping up to become a career consultant, plotting my course to creating a world renowned design firm. I was an avid SitePoint forum contributor and figured the Web Design Business Kit would be just the tool I needed as a young designer. It was exactly what I needed to start a consulting business—it also helped me realize I didn't want to be a lifetime consultant and instead get involved in the startup industry.
The kit was pretty thorough and had templates for every stage of dealing with a client: contracts, non-disclosure agreements, invoices, etc. It also had suggestions on how to behave and arrange meetings (IIRC, there's a suggestion on what to drive to increase perceived brand value as well) and other more "high-level" concepts that need to be considered when creating a consulting business.

This deal is full of useful tools and knowledge. The videos alone are great if you are running your own business as they bring up good solutions to numerous everyday problems.

Arsène Wenger believes there are more important issues at hand this weekend than Emmanuel Adebayor.
The former Arsenal striker has been the centre of attention in the build-up to Sunday's North London derby, largely because he caused controversy by celebrating a goal for Manchester City in front of Gunners fans two seasons ago.
Adebayor has since won over the Tottenham faithful after starting his White Hart Lane career with three goals and an assist. There is plenty of hype around his next meeting with Arsenal but the man who brought the Togo international to England is keen to play that down.
"There was a controversial situation at Man City last year that was inappropriate. He apologised for it but we do not want to focus on that kind of subject before the game," Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"I do not believe that Adebayor is underrated. People know that he is a very good player so our back four will be vital in this game of course. But overall the more pressure we put on them the less it will be on our defence.
"In this kind of game you want full commitment from everybody but you have to think. We have positive memories [of this fixture] because we didn't ever forget to play our game and that is the focus that is important. Be cool and focus on the play."
The full interview with Wenger is now available on Arsenal Player.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source
