Bone Inflammation (Panosteitis) in Dogs | petMD
More information for you
Googled Pano - seem's they tend to out grow it.
Hope this is the case and he can out grow it.
|thanks msvete2u. can i ask. what is pano? i see this mentioned alot on this site but never see what it actually is? By toeing out i take it you mean the foot facing out the way where as the other one points straight. He does do that at times it points forward then the next time hes standing and the foot points slightly out the way. I asked about it last night at the vets. Had a different vet within the same clinic and she seemed spot on and like she wanted to help. took a look at the xray's again and said nothing was showing up that would worry her too much but she could really see Drey was not comfortable with his front right leg and has forwarded the xrays to the Orthopaedic specialist in the next city who might require us to go through very soon so he can give him the once over (which isnt a problem as we want this fixed or helped asap) The vet was really spot on though explained that if there is an issue they will do everything they can to catch it while hes younger. hate seeing him limping!
It could be pano or it could be an elbow going wrong or even a fracture like you said.
A typical elbow dysplasia occurring will show the dog toeing out on that leg, and holding his elbow closer to his body.
Xrays can show pano or an elbow dysplasia though. It could be soft-tissue but a few months is a long time to have that brewing.
great idea. thanks very much. Its hurting me seeing him being held back and really want to put a stop to the problem. Thats some good advice. thanks for taking the time to reply.
Gunnar did a similar thing, and I was able to isolate it to a single pad on his foot. It took a lot of pressure from my hand to elicit the cry of pain from him that told me where the pain was coming from.
My suggestion to you is to look at a diagram of the anatomy of your dog and deliver firm pressure to every joint and growth plate in his sore leg from the shoulder blade all the way down to the toe nails. If you can find the source that gives you some insight.
Also, a new vet might be in order. Pain killers cover and issue, they don't solve it. I'd avoid those in a puppy.
Hi, been a while since i have posted. i have been reading various threads and looking over certain parts of the website but i have not posted in a while.
I was after some general feedback / thoughts on an issue i am having with Drey. Its been a bit of an ongoing health issue. Couple months back we were out a walk and he fell down a small bank. Since then he has developed a limp. I am putting 2 and 2 together and saying it has come from the fall as it was never apparent before it, but you know how it goes with the puppies, they are gangly and a bit 'bambi on ice' while growing up and the run / trott varies each day. We left him a day or so and tried to keep movement to a minimum. The limp only showed when he was at a 'trotting' pace, didnt seem to bother him at running speed.
After a visit to the vet we recieved pain killers and were told too rest, just a bump and bruise soo to speak mixed with growing pains. We rested and the limp did apear to go for a time being, or atleast reduce it. As you can appreciate a GSD doesn't understand the rest and stay in / small walks for your own good or stop chasing the ball, so we had to eventually walk him again. The limp re appeared and we decided we wanted xrays done. The vets xrayed him and said there was no visable damage and to rest him again, giving us an anti inflamatry spray. Again we rested him for days - trying mental stimulation to keep him occupied. Now the limp apears to be back with vengance and looks worse than before. It never used to bother him but i can now see when standing the front left leg is straight but the front right has a slight bend in it like he is keeping the pressure off of it. Iv inspected the pad, iv stroked and touched all parts of the leg looking for a whimper and nothing apears to be showing. He now cries sometimes and i know my dog, its after a walk or he has played ball. I know its bothering him and i can tell by the stance he is reluctant to openly go all out on that leg. Like he is compensating for it.
we have the vets again tonight and i am reluctant to accept growing pains or a bump and bruise as this has been weeks. Closer to months now. any past experience / constructive views would really help. i am maybe over daddying my pup and he is just growing / tripped but he loves his big runs /getting out and i can tell its hampering him.

Djimon was cheating on Kimora. I'm not saying Kimora is a saint, but when you are cheating with the woman who also had sex with Osama Bin Laden, then that is a tough thing to get over if you are Kimora.

Helping out a nephew-95 740i
It's hard for me to believe that my nephew is old enough to be driving his father's 1995 740, but he is. He bought the car CPO'd in 1997 or so. It was his daily for about 5 or 6 years and then they just sort of kept it bc of how nice it rides and the age of their kids. Now, it has about 130k on it. It's seen better days, but I drove it for a couple thousand miles last year on an extended visit and just loved it.
It needs some work.
Most notably, the driver's seat switch, front and rear lighters, and rear tails. I have heard of a less expensive part/repair process for the driver's seat on an E39 and wonder if there is any insight here.
I have seen EBAY tail light LED's and am quite wary that they look great in pictures but don't work well/not very bright in reality. Not sure of any LCM/check control procedures on the E38, but I can't imagine that they're much different from an E39. ie- what about error codes on the LED's. I have seen other tails that I like that look newer but work off of traditional (and brighter) tails. Any suggestions on the best upgrade and repair for this are welcome. I'll do the sand paper contacts trick, but what he really wants is tails that look newer and work as well/as bright as OE.
Somewhere around 8 years ago, 'soda' was spilled from the front cup holders. Neither lighter/power source has worked since. Your ideas where to start are welcome.
I am sure that other things- like wheel bearings and other suspension components are in need of refresh though the thing tracks as straight as ever without a bump, knock, or rattle from underneath.
You advice to help a brand new Bimmer gnurd into the mix is welcome.
Can't help with some of your probs but:
LEDs with LCM is more trouble than it is worth IMO.
To fix the soda spill problem you have to remove and clean every thing out of the car. Soak in hot water and then dry. Check car wires for damage - I guess the sugar etc will have attacked the plugs and sockets and maybe the wires. Hot water soak using a cup or mug may work. Hair drier to dry the plugs and sockets, WD40 spray on assembly. Don't forget to inspect the earths.
Prop, I tried a few brands of LED tails for the E39. While they did all look sharp, it actually made me a little nervous (even at age 17-18) that the light doesn't carry. It looks just as bright right up next to an incandescent assembly, but step back 100-200 feet and you'll notice the incandescents are still plainly visible and the LEDs much less obvious. Add fog to the mix and I'd rather have properly designed OEM tails than the LEDs, no matter how much better the LEDs looked.
If only there was some CELIS retrofit for the E38....
For driver's seat switch your best bet would be a junkyard, a pin on mine was broken when I got the car and I just picked one up for $10, you might even get lucky enough to find 01 E38 tail lights there. Aftermarket tail lights are a pain in the ass in most cases and usually get faded by sun much sooner than OEM.
Besides...the e38 & e39 are generational siblings and share the same basic BMW design architecture as well as many of the same parts.
The e38 & e39 share the same front seats...so any e39 knowledge you have in this area...carries over to the e38. The 95 e38 may be kind of different (depending on build date) in some areas since it was the first model & year where BMW updated some things from the old generation of e30/e32/e34 models. For instance, the lower plastic seat cover on the early 95 e38s had a slightly different design...but the cover that came later and is common on the rest of the e38/e39 line-up can be retrofitted. For example, the driver's seat switch is the same in both models...and if you go with a seat switch from any 98-up e38/e39...you will get the convenience exit feature where the steering wheel moves up to the highest position when the ignition is turned off...and return to the last position it was in when you insert the key and turn the ignition on.
I agree with the others...instead of trying to deal with LED rear tail lights...just upgrade to either the 99-00 rear tails or the 01 rear tails. The only difference in e38 tails come at the 99 face lift...the 95-98 tails use a different bulb holder which is not swappable into the 99-up tail lights due to the change in the LCM III. But the rear tail light assembly & electrical connections will fit on any e38 from 95-01. Also, the 99-00 & 01 rear tail lights have the "crystallized" treatment versus the "dull" look of the 95-98 rear tail lights. But the 99-00 lights have AMBER turn indicators...where as the 01s have the CLEAR turn indicators. Since many 99-00 owners upgrade to the 01 clear crystallized tails...you can find many 99-00 crystallized tails with amber turn indicators...again, either of these styles will give that 95 a nice upgrade...and you may be able to find them at a great price if someone is cleaning out their garage. :)
The cig lighters...again are very similar to the e39. There is a fuse box in the engine bay (instead of the glovebox) and the rear fuses in the trunk are in the same place as the e39. Each location may have fuses for the cig lighters...so check both locations to make sure a fuse isn't blown. Then as others suggested...the trim needs to be removed so that the areas below the trim can be cleaned because spilled sugary drinks will leave residue in places that never get cleaned by a simple mopping-up of the liquid on exterior surfaces.
Then GLUE the cupholders shut! Just like the e39...this was BMWs first attempt at built-in cupholders...and though they are over-engineered...they suck as far as being user friendly for the American driver. There was a total disconnect and cultural ignorance as to how cupholders are used here and why we "drink" & drive etc. These first built-in cupholders were designed for small cans or cups (up to approx 12 oz) and to be used while the car is stationary.
BTW I read (can't remember where) that LEDs don't have much of the red part of the light spectrum as output so they seem dimmer behind a red lense than a conventional incandescent globe.
Thanks for your reply. You were one of the folks I was hoping would impart some wisdom. In fact, I ran immediately away from this post and read all things E38 for these concerns. Many of them intersected with posts of yours (or somebody, I dunno) on other forums.
I deduced that the cheap LED tails were not in fact the way to go. I advised his father of this and was met with all sorts of Ebay claims he'd read. :tsk: I told him he could order what he wanted, but the AZ Autohaus link to the 01+ OE tails was the way to go. I also told him I wasn't going to have a part in the installation of crappy tails. You mention the sockets are different for '01 +- other than knowing that, what kind of effort does that translate into upon install? Splice wires? Buy new bulbs? Does a kit include adapters? Are they necessary? I don't think I'll be fortunate enough to install OE tails, but I'd like an idea of what is needed in case he gets smart.
I actually DID find the fuse (#53, I think) information as well. It would be awesome if that's all it is. I am not averse to removing the console and rinsing the parts. I'll update here on those.
A long, long time ago, BMW sold a blank for the front cup holders in the E39. That was one of those things I was wanting, but it was only like $15 and the shipping was $10. I decided I would wait and get one when I bought something else. I never remembered to order it. Now, of course, I think I read it's NLA. Ahh well.
Thanks again, guys.

Installing a 99-01 rear tail light requires nothing new (unless it doesn't come with bulbs). The electrical harness and the four bolts that secure it to the rear of the car is the same from 95-01. Again, if you purchase a new or used set of 99-01 rear tail lights with out bulbs & bulb holders...all you need to do is order new ones for the 99-01 e38...and insert the correct bulbs in them. The old bulb holders (95-98) won't fit in the newer rear tail lights.
A quick look up on realoem.com will reveal which bulb holders are exclusive to the 99-up rear tail lights. the turn indicator bulb/bulb holder and back-up bulb/bulb holder may work in all of them...since they are still single filament bulbs in both style lights.
When my bro-in-law had his 97 e38...he found a used pair of 99-00 (crystallized/amber turn indicators) rear tail lights (see image below)...which again, still gives the rear end a fresh look over the duller 95-98 rear tails. It was plug-n-play since they came with the bulbs/bulb-holders already installed.
Actually Prop - I have newer style tails with smoked uppers, don't know what color the car is but maybe he wants those? I'm trying to get ones with clear all the way across the reverse and turns. I think they're OEM and were smoked with some sort of translucent paint based on fitment quality, but I need to verify before making that claim...:rofl:

Merriam-Webster has your back.
|I dunno fellas, I always thought of a "traditional" hot rod to be that of a very early era car that would have been modified by what was available and cheap at the time right after WWII. It just happened that the flathead was the engine of choice at the time. But there were many 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder hot rods in the golden era. But I think ya'll are closer to what people consider a hot rod in the current era. To me a hot rod is something truly crafted by the creator and something that uses no or very little aftermarket parts. Instead of getting parts from a manufacturer a hot rodder would source their parts from a salvage yard or another vehicle. But honestly the only thing that really matters is build your car to fit your style and enjoy it, and I think we can all respect that.
Old farts are to blame.
They have their fantasy of what a 'hotrod' is, and stubbornly cling to it.
Anything modern in a compact car is a ricer.
Doesn't matter if it pumps out 700 hp, if it is a four banger, it is rice.
I think you're pretty much right on. I think a lot of people have a mental reservation about "hot rods" being a V8 muscle, and no matter what, 4bangers are tuners. In my opinion, its probably because no one souped up 4bangers back in the 70's. Well, comparatively speaking.
That, and I think that the real hot rodders, the ones that even know what an ls9 or a turbo350 is, know what a port and polish is, know how to adjust gearing, and have done all of that stuff don't want to be associated with the "tuner" crowd, who generally think a turbo 350 is a nissan. You know, the type that finish their can of Foldgers off and then weld it to their exhaust.
And to be honest, I can't really see a 4banger being a hot rod. Unless it has ITB's and no hood with a supercharger or something... To me, a hot rod is a 69 camaro with a roots blower and stupid big cowl induction hood lol. I'd like to see what other people have to say on the topic too, its an interesting observation.
Definition of hotrod
I find it funny how the definition of hotrod has changed over the years. Nowadays it refers to classic cars that have been sup'd up. SBC this and 60-whatever that. Hotrodding was originally stuffing the biggest, most advanced engine you could find into the lightest body available. Well now the lightest bodies around are compact and subcompact cars, and people are putting out ridiculous amounts of power out of the 4 bangers in them; or swapping in bigger/better ones. Yet, despite being a true-to-the-core hotrodder, as it is defined, these guys are ridiculed for not having a V8 in a rear drive tank. Don't get me wrong, I love me some big classic V8 muscle, but I don't get why those guys always give the small car segment such a hard time. I'm a lover of all makes and models. Every car has something it does, or can do, better than any other car. Personally I see people like Tom, who works on stuffing two and a half liter turbo monsters into 2500lb road cars as a true hot rodder. Not the guys that build a 68 Camaro with a 350 Chevy. I mean c'mon. That's not REALLY hotrodding. I mean sure, if you take a 68 Camaro and throw and LS9, big brakes, and a modern suspension on there it is a hotrod. The people at Nelsons racing have got to be the truest hot rodders around. Throwing a 1400hp motor into an incredibly light 80's rx-7 is pure hotrod (and sex). This has just been irking me as of late and I wanted to get your opinions on the whole matter. What do you see as hotrodding? Should a focus (or any car for that matter) that meets such a description be considered a hotrod or is it just another "tuner" car? Should the title be reserved for those sexy classic muscle cars with big V8's in them? I want honest opinions, not just agreement because its a Fous forum.
Sorry for the rant, and if its in the wrong forum please move it.

The Right Organization at the Right Time for the Right Need
November 30, 2011
Today's guest blog comes to the Alliance from Iain DeJong.
I have the great privilege of working with communities and organizations across North America that are dedicated to ending homelessness. Being the nerd that I am, I feel passionate about using real-time information to link the right intervention to the people who need that intervention. This seems to make sense to a lot of people, but the unfortunate reality is that this is not how many organizations or communities work.
Imagine you have a heart attack. You are rushed to the hospital by paramedics. I now want to give you a choice: you can be seen by a cardiologist or an obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN). Which one do you choose? The cardiologist, of course. Are cardiologists successful with heart attack victims 100 percent of the time? Nope. But that doesn't prevent us from seeking out cardiologists when we experience a heart attack. They're heart experts after all.
Here is another choice for you: again, you've had a heart attack. The cardiologist and OB/GYN choices remain, but this time I want to add a third choice: an acquaintance who watches a lot of House on TV. Oh, and he used to watch ER, dabbles in Grey's Anatomy, and loves MASH re-runs. Who do you choose this time? My money is still on the cardiologist.
Here is your final choice: again, you've had a heart attack. All the cardiologists are not available. Why? Because they are too busy seeing people with common colds. Now your choice is limited to the OB/GYN or the acquaintance who watches House. I'm guessing you would choose the OB/GYN. It may not be their field of expertise – and your heart condition may have complexities that are outside their field of knowledge – but they likely still have a better chance of keeping you alive until the cardiologist is available than the acquaintance who watches House.
What are the lessons here for homelessness and housing service systems?
The first lesson: Perform common assessment to determine where (which organization) and how (which type of service) assistance should be provided.
I have seen the value of standardized assessment tools (or like this one) used across communities or a coordinated entry process, where the standardization takes much of the guess work out of determining where and how people can be served.
The second lesson: Prioritize highest need cases first.
Services should not be first come, first served. Can you imagine if people who experienced heart attacks were left to wallow in waiting areas? I suspect a lot more people would die waiting for the services they need, when the resources to help exist.
Communities that are serious about ending homelessness have methods for determining which individual/family should be served when and why. It isn't random. It isn't luck. It is informed decision-making that matches information gleaned from the assessment with the best available resources.
The third lesson: Capitalize on experts and their expertise.
Homelessness organizations cannot be all things to all people. We don't want cardiologists to be inundated with people with common colds much like we wouldn't want Assertive Community Treatment teams or Intensive Case Managers overloaded by people with lower acuity needs.
Oh…and don't think words like "expert", "professional" and "expertise" are accidental. Ending homelessness is professional work that draws upon a body of evidence, research, and proven methods. Simply being well-intentioned – without expertise – is code for being ill-prepared or improperly trained which can result in more harm than good. It is analogous to your acquaintance, theHouse fan, treating heart attacks.
The fourth lesson: Work cooperatively as a homeless assistance system.
The paramedics actually took the heart attack victim to the hospital – it wasn't a blind referral, it was a warm transfer. In other words, once the paramedics arrived on scene they didn't just tell the person where the hospital was and hope the person would get there while they moved onto the next heart attack victim. That's not how paramedics work. They revive. They stabilize. They take people to the location with the expertise to meet their needs. They communicate with the hospital in advance of showing up to make sure that they know they are coming, which also gives the hospital the chance to say they are full or have no cardiologists available. At the hospital the paramedics remain until they directly pass the patient off to the next professional. They also pass every tidbit of information onto that other professional. And they document all that they did.
The fifth lesson: Ask the right questions at the right time.
We need to orient our information gathering towards matching people to the right housing intervention to meet their needs. Once they are involved in the program best designed to meet their needs, more pertinent information can always be collected. A mistake in homeless services that I have seen repeatedly is inundating people with questions to populate databases at the wrong time. Housing is the only known cure to homelessness. Shouldn't we be orienting our questions towards a housing solution? Asking someone "How can I help you?" allows the conversation to go to any one of a number of different directions, most often related to their present survival needs. Asking someone "How can I help you get housing?" provides a very clear scope and direction and places the individual asking the question at the center of the discussion, which reinforces accountability.
My final point is that people who experience heart attacks are not kept in the hospital indefinitely. When the time is right – based upon professional opinion and further assessment – the person who had the heart attack is discharged from the hospital. The person in many instances is going to be connected to other community resources to help them get healthier and stronger while back in the community.
As we look at HEARTH indicators, we know that a system-wide approach to service delivery – rather than a collection of programs – demands that we think critically and strategically about how to get the right information that allows us to get the right individual/family to the right service. This system-based, strategic approach improves coverage of services, reduces length-of-time experiencing homelessness, and reduces recidivism. It also provides terrific opportunities for diversion.
So, let's help people who are homeless with really complex needs access the resources best able to help them. Instead of just any organization, let's help them get to the organization with the expertise and resources to have the greatest likelihood of success. Let's focus on quality interventions rather than a quantity of interventions.
Let's help people who are homeless with moderate needs access the resources best able to help them. Let us respect and value that not every individual is going to have really acute needs and let us also appreciate that some organizations do phenomenal work at effectively serving people with moderate needs.
Let's do this across our entire systems of care and across all program areas. And let's do our best to help people of all presenting needs and acuities access the housing they need.

Bat Conservation in Georgia
Georgia's Anabat Acoustic Survey Volunteer Project
Georgia is participating in a volunteer-based, nationwide acoustic survey effort to collect long-term data about bats.
The state is home to 16 species of bats. All of them eat insects exclusively and use echolocation to navigate, communicate and find food. Echolocation calls can be recorded and used to identify bats.
The national acoustic survey protocol provides guidelines for states to follow when starting monitoring programs. Here is a basic outline of the methods for Georgia:
Detailed instructions for using the Anabat can be found here . An instructional video is available below.
Georgia's acoustic survey routes are shown this map link . Routes in green are available for surveys. Click on a route in your area to get information about road conditions, driving directions and a map.

A British photographer has claimed the Grange Prize, a $50,000 (£31,000) Canadian award for international contemporary photography.
Jo Longhurst, 50, from Essex beat three others to take the prize after a public vote. The Royal College of Art graduate won for her striking portraits of gymnasts and whippet show dogs in two bodies of work called Other Spaces and The Refusal.
Another Briton, Jason Evans from Holyhead, Wales, was also among the four shortlisted photographers. The other two were Canadian Emmanuelle Léonard and Annie MacDonell.
Click here or on "View Gallery" for more pictures
The three runners up will each receive $5,000 prize money and all four photographers will receive an artist residency on the strength of their work.
Longhurst and Evans will join the AGO's artist-in-residence program in Toronto, and Léonard and MacDonell be awarded UK-based residencies.
The Grange Prize was launched in 2008 to recognize the best in Canadian and international contemporary photography. It is partnership between the Art Gallery of Ontario and Aimia.
Each year a nominating jury of experts select a shortlist of four photographers, two from Canada and two from the partner country.
Previous winners include Gauri Gill of India (2011), Canadian photographer Kristan Horton (2010), Marco Antonio Cruz of Mexico (2009) and Canadian photographer Sarah Anne Johnson (2008).

Sead Hajrovic is the latest versatile defender to emerge from Arsenal's production line and show signs of a promising future.
Equally adept at right back or centre half, Hajrovic impressed in his debut season for Steve Bould's Academy side and, as testament to his development, has this season become a regular fixture in Neil Banfield's Reserves.
The 17-year-old Swiss has made six starts for the second string and featured in both of Arsenal's FA Youth Cup fixtures this term. Hajrovic admits he has surprised even himself by his swift development.
"It's a big step, I couldn't imagine being in the Reserves this quickly," he told Arsenal.com. "The pace of the game is much quicker, you have to be ready and more aggressive.
"I started at centre back when I first came to Arsenal but it is good for my development to learn to play in both positions.
"I don't really mind playing right back or centre back. I am actually a central defender but I don't mind, I will play wherever the coach wants me to.
"I used to be a very commanding centre half but, because of the language, I still have to learn a few words."
Hajrovic is growing game-by-game and, following an injury to regular skipper Ignasi Miquel, was handed the captain's armband for the second half of Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.
The experience was not new to the Brugg-born defender who is current skipper of the Switzerland Under-18s and was part of the side that won the Under-17s World Cup in 2009.
"It's a great honour to captain my country," he added. "It did make me grow up a bit quicker because I have to take care of my team-mates and I have to tell everyone what to do.
"Even with things like meetings, it means I have to command them all the time."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

The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) publishes new reports on Liechtenstein, Malta, Moldova, San Marino and Serbia
Strasbourg, 29.04.2008 – The Chairperson of ECRI today announced the release of five new reports examining racism, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in Liechtenstein, Malta, Moldova, San Marino and Serbia. ECRI recognizes 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 Liechtenstein, the Government adopted a five-year National Action Plan to Combat and Prevent Racism. Many different measures have been taken to train officials and to raise awareness among the general public about the need to combat racism and racial violence. But despite measures taken by the authorities, Muslims still face some obstacles in practising their religion and children of immigrant background are still faced with disadvantages in access to education.
In Malta, the legal and institutional framework against racism and racial discrimination has been strengthened and primary anti-discrimination legislation covering different areas of life has been introduced. But irregular migrants, asylum seekers, persons with humanitarian protection and refugees remain vulnerable to racial discrimination in accessing different services and to exploitation on the labour market. The legal provisions against racist expressions and racially-motivated offences are not yet fully applied.
In Moldova, new legislation was introduced, outlawing extremist activity in fields related to racism and intolerance. The new Labour Code adopted in 2003 contains anti-discrimination provisions. However there is a problem of inadequate implementation of the existing law in many fields which are of importance to combating racism and racial discrimination. At the same time, no comprehensive body of civil and administrative anti-discrimination legislation has been adopted.
In San Marino, a number of initiatives have been taken to raise awareness of issues of racism and racial discrimination among the general public, notably in the framework of the Council of Europe's "All Different All Equal" campaign. Opportunities for teachers to acquire competencies in the field of intercultural education and for pupils to increase their knowledge of human rights have been increased. However, comprehensive civil and administrative legislation prohibiting discrimination in all fields of life still remains to be adopted.
Serbia has taken a number of measures to combat racism and intolerance and is a party to Protocol No.12 to the European Convention on Human Rights which contains a general non-discrimination clause. But although a bill on discrimination has been drafted, Serbia has not yet enacted exhaustive provisions against racial discrimination in the area of civil and administrative law. The Criminal Code is still too seldom applied to persons who commit racist offences.

Install drawer dividers
Here's a fast, inexpensive way to organize a messy drawer.
Cut standard dentil molding the width and length of your drawer, aligning the dentil slots on opposite sides. Glue or brad-nail the strips into place—one strip for dividers up to 2 in., two strips for larger dividers. For dividers, use oak or pine mull strip (sometimes called lattice) or rip 1/4-in. plywood.
Dentil molding and 1/4-in.-thick mull strip are available at most home centers and lumberyards for roughly $1 per foot each (the system we made cost $30). Sand the mull strip smooth with fine sandpaper, then wipe off all the dust. The wood can be left unfinished, or finished before it's installed in the drawer.

text: Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2016 Market Design for Altruistic Supply: Evidence from the Lab Robert Slonim and Carmen Wang Volunteer supply is widespread. Yet without a price, inefficiencies occur due to suppliers' inability to coordinate with each other and with demand. In these contexts, we propose a market clearinghouse mechanism that improves efficiency if supply is altruistically provided. The mechanism, a registry, combines aggregate demand information with suppliers' willingness to help, and invites volunteers to help only when excess demand occurs. We experimentally study three registries with stochastic high-stake demand and heterogeneous supplier costs. We find that all three registries improve efficiency dramatically; they eliminate unneeded costly help when demand is unexpectedly low and significantly increase supply during shortages.

"We challenged our team in the fourth quarter and they responded," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "Our defense had to shut the door, Mike Moran needed to get us the ball from the faceoff X and our offense needed to bury their chances and they all did just that. We knew this game was going to be a battle as every conference game is. VMI got the momentum and tied the game in the fourth quarter but we regained our focus in the last 10 minutes and gutted out this win."
Freshman Vince Gravino led the Griffs with career-best totals of seven points, four goals and three assists. Senior Joe Rautenstrauch chipped in his first collegiate hat trick, while sophomore Austin Romantic added two tallies. Sophomore Brandon Bull rounded out the scoring with a goal.
Sophomore Tim Edwards paced the Canisius attack with a career-best four assists in the win.
Sophomore Alex Govenettio earned his first collegiate victory in net, posting seven saves to anchor the Canisius defense.
Senior Mike Moran led the Griffs at the faceoff X, winning 12-of-20 restarts. Moran also collected a team-best six ground balls with sophomore defender Adam Donner recording a team-high two caused turnovers to go along with a career-best four ground balls.
The Griffs started the contest strong, especially on the defensive end by limiting the Keydets to just two first-half tallies. Rautenstrauch gave Canisius the early lead with 8:26 remaining in the first and Romantic scored a man-up goal right before the end of the opening period for a 2-0 lead after 15 minutes of play.
Bull extended the Canisius lead to three but the Keydets responded with two tallies 65 seconds apart to pull within one, 3-2. The Griffs and Gravino, however, controlled the remainder of the first half to seize control of the contest. The rookie scored the final three goals of the second quarter, finishing the run with just eight seconds remaining, to send Canisius into the half with a 6-2 lead.
The Keydets would fight back, slowing creeping back into the game while holding the Griffs scoreless for the first 21-plus minutes of the second half. VMI netted four unanswered goals to start the second 30 minutes of action with Bernie Mowbray's tally with 10:41 remaining in regulation knotting the contest at six.
Canisius, however, would respond with a four-goal run of its own to seal its first win of the 2013 season. Rautenstrauch gave the Griffs the lead for good with his second score with 8:38 remaining. Romantic then netted his second man-up goal of the game with 7:33 left and Gravino tallied his fourth of the contest just six seconds later, scoring off a faceoff win by Moran. Rautenstrauch extended the Canisius lead to four, 10-6, with 3:32 left to complete his first career hat trick before VMI finished the scoring for the day with 23 seconds remaining for the 10-7 final.
Canisius finished the game with a 39-31 advantage in shots and 34-26 edge in ground balls. Mowbray and Russell East led the Keydets with two goals, while Matt Lindemann recorded 13 saves in net.
The Griffs continue MAAC play next weekend with a home contest against Marist. Canisius and the Red Foxes are set to meet on Saturday at the Demske Sports Complex with game time slated for 7 p.m.
Game Notes: Gravino's seven points are the most by a Griff rookie since Adam Jones also recorded seven points (4g, 3a) in a win over Robert Morris on April 8, 2008 ... Govenettio failed to post double-digit saves in a start for the first time in his career, ending the best run a Canisius player to start their career (five games) ... Rautenstrauch now has seven goals this season after not recording one in 26 games during his first three seasons ... The Griffs have converted 5-of-13 man-up chances in their last two games (38.4 percent) after starting the season just 2-of-13 (15.3 percent) .. The assist for Moran on Gravino's fourth goal was his first point at Canisius.

Sunshine, Light, and Joy
This is a post that I've been thinking about for awhile. Recently, I opened up the discussion to other members of the staff to get their feelings on the matter, and their opinions generally matched mine, which is this:
Within the last year or so, there's been a steady increase of negative posts in movie threads. We've always had some heated discussions for some movies, but recently things have not only gotten more histrionic in those threads (generally speaking, the CBM ones), but they've started to spread to other franchises and other movies as well. I'm not talking about out-and-out trolling, I'm talking about members feeling they have to consistently shit on a movie (or studio, or star) simply because they aren't interested in the current project or projects. With every piece of news about a movie, it's now a virtual guarantee that there's a flood of people rushing to say they think it sucks, they don't like the current trailer/tv spot/actor/actress/director/concept. And I get it -- we all have movies we don't like, movies which we think are bad ideas, industry people that just don't appeal to us. But there's a fine line between expressing your opinion about this and doing it so often, with such consistency, that the collective emphasis of all of it basically brings down the entire thread and thus the entire forum.
There's no easy answer to this. We don't want to crush freedom of expression here. But at the same time, the spirit of this forum is for people to have fun talking about the movies they love and the box-office runs they love.
To have fun.
And while it may be fun -- in a sense -- to personally vent about a movie, or to vent at people who dare to enjoy something you don't, it doesn't bring fun to our community. In fact, it generally drags down the overall fun for everyone else. We've had people repeatedly mention to us over the last several months or so that in some cases they don't even bother going into some threads -- even for movies they're curious about! -- because they just don't want to deal with the overall mess those threads contain. And frankly, that matches the personal opinion of most of the staff as well.
So this post is both a request and a warning.
The request: Next time you feel like taking a dump on a movie (or a topic) for the dozenth time, take a moment to consider whether it's really worth it. People probably already have a good idea of what your attitude about the project is. Maybe just put your posting energy into a movie that you enjoy and love or are excited about.
The warning: The staff is going to be taking a closer look at some of these threads and we'll be more active with temp thread-bans if we think it'll help the overall vibe of the forum. I'd rather we don't have to, but it's not going to constrain any of you too much if you aren't allowed to post about a movie you supposedly don't care about anyway.
Remember the words of Bill and Ted: "Be Excellent to Each Other".
They're just movies, guys. It's about having fun.

But I'm enjoying these characters and this world so I really hope to do more with them ...my aliens are pretty gay. I think my own queerness shines through with this. lol

Breeder Mentor
So, I really hope that I can post this without anyone chopping my head off. In 5-10 more years I hope to have upgraded my house and have bought more land with the house and I also hope to be well on my way to becoming a very notable and respected breeder of German Shepherds. I am absolutely in love with the breed, but I want to be sure that I can get a quality education about what it takes to be a very responsible and very respectable breeder. But, as most of you may already know, Kentucky isn't exactly a state well known for producing quality puppies and is more known for being a state for horrible animal abusers. I'm not going to be breeding anything or even thinking about it until I have titled many dogs and have worked with a knowledgeable breeder and learned everything that I can possibly learn within a 5-10 year time frame. I also want to be sure that I am properly and adequately set up for a breeding operation. I have contacted a few of the better breeders in the state, but so far none are willing to work with me. Would it be an option for me to work with and talk with a breeder that is out of state? Any advice?
What lines? Working or show? There are good breeders here.
Do you know what lines you want? There are at least three distinct bloodlines (or more, depending on who you talk to).
How many GSDs have you owned?
How old are you?
What do you do for a living? I hope you don't plan to make a living breeding dogs, because breeders rarely come out ahead, most have to work to support their dog habit.
I'm not a breeder, just nosy. :) And maybe with this information, we can help point you in the right direction.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to have your own respected bloodline of German Shepherds... It is a rewarding hobby born of hard, hard work. You seem like you have a good head on your shoulders and want to learn.
You'll learn. Research, talk to the experienced members here, ask questions, read the informative threads, join community, own dogs, train dogs, test dogs, learn how to select correct temperament, conformation, etc. There are a lot of resources.
Take your time... don't rush. Train your current dogs, test their temperaments, drives, etc to learn how to distinguish them and understand them. Go to clubs, go to shows, research, learn, test...
Talk, visit, compete, etc. LEARN! Learn about genetics, issues with the GSD, etc.

German Shepherd Dog abbreviations, Definitions, and German terms | How to read German pedigree
To start...
The first thing you have to do is study pedigrees and dogs, decide which bloodline you are interested in: German show, German working, or American show, then you find a breeder that understands that bloodline.
Most reputable breeders do stick mainly with one line; some cross German working and German show lines, and some American show breeders bring in German show lines, but crossing must be done only by those who are very knowledgable and experienced with both lines, IMO.
Is there a SchH club in your area?
KY does STINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when it comes to animals. TERRIBLE. TERRIBLE. That doesn't mean someone can't breed the best of the breed in that state. And there are many others just tossing dogs together willy nilly and taking them to the shelter when they are done with them - so good to read of someone who has that awareness of what surrounds you and wants to try to learn to do things in a better way. Thank you - it is important for a breed to have real breeders. I think there could be way less puppy producers but that's another story!
I have met MANY great GSDs from KY that came up through rescue - they will euth any dog quickly that is not nice so we get excellent dogs from there. :( I have also met a dog from gbchottu's one breeder - used to be in her signature so I am going from memory on the spelling - Drache Field - and while it was only one dog so not representative of everything the kennel does, she was outstanding. Clear headed, not extreme in structure, nice drive, just perfect.
In the meantime since you gave yourself a nice timeline, in addition to learning tons about bloodlines and pedigrees, and participating in activities to see all the things your dogs can do, perhaps volunteering at your local shelter with the GSDs (because it is hard to find people who will work with the larger dogs and we have 1 person whose evals we trust in the whole state) will also give you some insights on behaviors and structure you do and don't want to see. You will also get some ideas on why screening your buyers is important, and maybe even some tips on that.
Go to training classes, go to shows, join a schutzhund club, join an AKC German Shepherd Dog Club. Go to meetings, volunteer at shows. Learn the ins and the outs of both types, and try to figure out who you fit best with.
Down the line when you have learned a ton about the different lines, and training, and shows, etc, then start talking to the best breeders in your are that are within the lines you like best.
I started going to classes, and there was a woman in my classes that I really did not know. After two or three separate sets of classes with this lady in the class, we had a brief conversation about who my dog was related to, and I felt she pretty much dismissed the breeding because she did not care for Fanto. Ok then. Maybe a year and a half later, after I had shown in rally with about 5 of my dogs, we were still going to classes and she invited me to go to a shepherd club meeting. I think it was then that I realized that she had nearly 50 years of experience, etc.
But I think she had to decide that I was serious or committed. There are a bajillion people out there that get a purebred dog and have visions of making puppies. Of course we like puppies. There really aren't that many that are willing to go the whole nine yards. And even those who will go 4-6 yards and follow through seem few and far between.
Breeders are busy people. Yes they should try and help people who are thinking about starting out. I also think it makes sense to get out there, get training, work with your dogs, and get noticed by breeders who are doing the kinds of things you are doing, Show them you have what it takes.
Kentucky has a reputation, so does Ohio, and PA and Missouri, and probably 47 other states. There are still good breeders. To find them, you got to go where they hang out. You got to go to shows or trials and clubs. You have to get involved.
Many wannabe-breeders start out looking great, and then their interest fizzles, or they decide taking shortcuts is easier. Seasoned breeders and dog-people have seen it happen too many times to be overly enthusiastic about helping newbies, so be prepared for that. Don't expect people to fall head over heels for you right away--you really have to prove yourself, and it takes years.
None of this is meant to discourage you, in fact, we NEED more responsible, ethical people breeding dogs the RIGHT way, and everyone has to start somewhere. You are saying all the right things so far, and if you stand by your principles, you'll be miles ahead of most.
One thing I can honestly recommend is... stay on this forum and read, read, read. Ask questions. Be prepared for differing opinions and arguments which may confuse you at first. The more you learn, and the more you actually work with dogs, the more things will make sense.
Breeding dogs is an ethical quagmire. When I was younger, I thought I wanted to breed GSDs too...but the more I learned, the more I realized that I just don't have the temperament for it. Be prepared to ponder a lot of philosophical concerns as well as the nuts and bolts of it all.
I also thought I wanted to become a breeder,but decided to go into rescue as well,which isn't any easier.

Paint Match Gone Wrong
2 Attachment(s)
I recently painted the doghouse and passenger front door of a kia sportage as a wreck repair. Like most of my work, this is an "economy fix", which basically translates to a only fix major defects/damage, rough it up and shoot. I know this isn't the philosophy here...and it isn't mine either, but I do the work I am told and paid to do.
I used my typical paint supplier which will remain anonymous and ordered a quart of paint matched SS urethane. In my booth, the paint looked like a dead match, and all of my previous orders have been correct. Today I finished buffing and decided to pull it outside for a look in natural light before applying swirl remover...and obvious as day the paint doesn't match at all. It is bad enough at 25 feet away I was getting comments of not matching from people who don't know a crankshaft from a headlight. Under florescent tubes, it looks dead right. I have heard things about florescent lighting throwing off the look of paint before and to use halogen, but I never gave it much thought.
I have never run into this before. I am not an overly skilled painter, never tried blending and only paint whole panels (or typically, whole cars). I only have a few spoonfuls of paint left, maybe 1/2 cup sprayable. I am out of budget to buy anymore paint, not counting the labor time as this car is due to the customer by next tuesday. Despite being a true economy fix, this error is out of the question...I know I wouldn't accept it. My paint supplier won't do anything about this, stating a "no paint match guarantee". This is in the fine print I didn't read. I suppose it falls under "penny wise, dollar stupid" by choosing my supplier based off dollar signs alone, although we have had a trouble free relationship up until this point.
I have attached two pictures. The camera seems to hide the problem a bit, it is even more obvious in RL. The original paint appears to be what I would call a pure white, while the new paint is a bit like a creamy white...a bit difficult for me to describe colors.
I have lurked this forum for a few months now and have read threads for countless hours...and it is because of the advice here I have got the courage to start painting my own wreck repairs instead of subbing it out. This has been just slightly more profitable for me, but really makes things easier to manage, being in control of the entire operation. I suppose this day would eventually come...in any case, is there any solution short of a repaint? I don't feel that I have enough paint to blend in both sides of the car with no blending experience. I don't know of any other fix besides painting the rest of it (which it honestly needs as it is rusting around the rear hatch, and although it isn't in budget, I am considering it as a distinct possibility to keep my reputation up).
Brad, the condition with lighting you are refering to is called "metamerism". It's where the toners in the paint are seen, sometimes more, sometimes less in the different lights. The two different paints have different toners (even though they may be the "same" color) and in different lights they look different.
Matching a bc/cc color with SS, pretty much impossible. I will tell you right now, that color mixed in a SS isn't top of the line paint and probably a "Value line" and color matches are more often than not, VERY poor. Ok for an overall, but for collision work, forget it.
I am sorry, budget or not, realistically you are going to be blending that color out onto the adjacent panels with BC/CC to correct this. Other than that we are talking about a "butt match", matching and painting the same panels over. This can be done, don't get me wrong but the color matching skill level is going to be pretty high to pull that off. Generally, it isn't even thought of, you prep the adjacent panels for blend and do it, one time, job is done and delivered.
This is the bad part about doing cheap work, you are STILL expected to be better than the cheap price and products should get you.
If you do want to do cheap work, you have to make it REAL clear that it will probably look pretty funky, this is all about communication with the customer more than "body and paint". Every once in a while I have done that cheap work, I make it REAL clear it isn't going to be very good just "better" than the damage they are looking at, but made VERY clear that it won't be "fixed", just "better". The funny thing is when you set it up well like that they are usually thrilled with the outcome, miles from perfect or not.
This why the pro painters do a color card..your paint supplier should have some of those..shoot a sample on the color card and roll the vehicle outside and hold the color card up to the car to see if the match is good. if not all you are out is a can of paint..
Everyone in the auto repair business gets bit on occasion with something so you are not the only one this has ever happened to..
Only solution I know is to paint the rest of the car
Sorry for your issue..
Tell them you can paint it one of three ways:
They can have it cheap, fast, or right....
But not any combination of those!
Trying to mix any two of those three always costs the painter!
poor paint match.
Hi,i have had a Few cars where the custom matched color didnt match,i found a supplier,that had a computer thing-a-ma-jig that he would put on the original paint,then he would match that paint 99,9 out of 100 almost perfect. call around,you should be able to find someone with that thing,
do you have any leftover clear laying around? if so, mix the rest of that wrong color match into it and blend the adjacent panel edges. go get yourself a can of blender and have at it. (I don't usually recommend this but have done it before when in a pinch)
hope that helps
Dont even concider painting the rest of the car.....tell the cheap as's ,this is what you get for that price ,end of story...it needs BC/CC and to be blended...
heres a quick way to fix the problem.if it bothers you that bad..go back and have another quart of that Omini SS mixed up and get the formula and some extra tints to darkin it up.re spray the panels ,You can even blend the door if you need too,Yes you can blend with SS but your blends have to be cleared...then clear that door and get rid of it...dont forget the other side you'll need to blend that too.
You'll never get an acceptable paint match if you dont learn to tint your paint,they may be able to tint it where you got the paint but most of those guys can only read the formula ....you can also ask if there are any variables listed...If your going to be a painter these are things you'll need to know it's all part of it...if the boss wont spring for good paint,it his rep not yours...dont worry about it...if you want to do better work you'll need to find another shop ....other than that getting cheap paint to match and look like good paint takes experiance its just part of the learning process....
if your supplier has a toner bank you should make a habit of bringing a gas cover and start with your standard formula and test it outside. If you can't spray a spray out then match it with your stick. This is technically a metamerism but not really considered one as you're not gonna drive it under the lights you shot it in meaning in most cases you wouldn't have this problem with a toner bank and color corrected lamp, not to mention it's single stage! You'd usually consider it being metamerism when it matches outdoors but looks funky under street lights or anything that's not color corrected to emulate the sun. Best to spray a spray out but without a toner bank you're gonna have to do what you can and developing a relationship with your jobber is crucial cause they'll be willing to spend more time with you getting a match thru different variants but that's not the problem here. THe problem here is you tried to do a butt match with metallic and single stage. The fact it looked good in the light is just a problem with your lights, nothing else.
basically, if that's metallic there's no way you'll get that to match a single stage, as Martin said. The flake depth of single stage is like looking at it on a piece of paper and it will never match, whereas as a two stage has depth to the flakes, appears more 3d, and shinier. FLake depth greatly affects the color of metallic so it's no surprise that the door with the missing handle is your single stage where the flake stands closer to the surface making it lighter in color.
Henry, metamerism is the condition not where it happens. It is what it is, and it doesn't matter if it happens where you will be driving it, where it's parked, or where it is painted. If the appears different under different lights, THAT is metamerism. You are right in that if the car is never going to see the conditions you have it under when you see this like your own shop lights, maybe it won't matter, this is true. The customer is never going to see the car in your lights and once outside it looks good and it looks good where the customer will see it, it may not "matter",but the metamerism still exists.
You and DBM are right, learning how to tint yourself is the next step. It is a steep curve but if you are going to be painting, you MUST know how to move a color around a little. Personally I have not had good luck with the spectrometer "computer thing-a-ma-jig" (more people know it by the thing-a-ma-jig than spectrometer you may be right :) ) I used one when I was a rep and we had one at work with the last paint supplier, it was "close" or MAYBE a "Blendable match" but it certainly didn't "match" the color in my opinion. Of course this could be operator error or simply not as good a thing-a-ma-jig as the guys you use have. I do know I had a Dupont "Chromavision" as I remember they call theirs. :rolleyes: gave a solid color for a metallic at one shop I serviced. :pain:
Learning to tint a color around is the best suggestion if you want to continue doing this stuff.
Hey Brad, are you going to come back and discuss this? I would like to clear up is this a metallic or not? I thought it looked white but with the discussion I go back and look and now I'm not so sure, it could be a silver?
btw, I think you were correct, it is a white. The first pic gives it away so a lot of what I'm saying has nothing to do with this situation, but some does.
Good point Tech, I always check my paint outside for color match and tinting...
One other point,Its not unheard of for your jobber to Not be paying attention and pour a little to much of one tint in (screw up the mix) and make up the weight by adding less of the next....with these looooow end paints no one expects them to match any way so they dont really care when they mix it up...
you'll never get a dead on color match any ways you'll need to learn to blend...its easy..
when they are THAT far off its probably the case
There is no color realistically that you can do a "stick match". ALL colors should be sprayed out and cleared (if they are a BC/CC).
Today, with the waterbornes, you had best spray them out and clear them! HOLY CRAP that color is miles different without being fully dried and cleared! No more brush touching that's for sure!
Before I had a mixing machine I had a bunch of pint cans with toner in them to tint. The paint shop is usually thrilled to give them to you because you won't be bothering them as much. :)
I am fascinated at the guys I have worked with who will do a spray out card and it matches, then spray the car and it doesn't and blame the paint. :rolleyes: The fact that it doesn't match now and it did then is the EVIDENCE that you aren't treating that spray out card with as much respect as you should. It needs to get sprayed out EXACTLY as you spray the car. Same distance, speed, overlap, flash time, EVERYTHING has to be exactly the same.
Never used water born and dont ever plan too...I feel for you guys that HAVE to use it...

It's Reserves Week on Arsenal.com. To mark the occasion we've compiled our top five games from the 2006/07 campaign. Subscribers to Arsenal TV Online can now see the highlights from all of these matches.
1. Arsenal Under-18s 1-0
Manchester United
FA Youth Cup Semi-Final 1st leg, Emirates Stadium, March 14
A record FA Youth Cup crowd of 38,187 spurred Arsenal Under-18s to this Semi-Final first-leg victory over Manchester United. An instinctive strike from midfielder Kieran Gibbs on 59 minutes was enough to secure a memorable win. The success of the young Gunners was built largely on a remarkable defensive performance and was all the more impressive considering the enormity of the occasion and the hefty and expectant home support. It was a performance of true class from a side containing eight first year scholars and one of the highlights of the Club's first season at their new home. Unfortunately for Steve Bould's side the tie was to end in disappointment as United won the second leg 4-2 after extra time.
2. Arsenal Reserves 2-2
Reserve League South, Underhill, April 25
This performance underlined just how far Neil Banfield's young Gunners had come over the season. After some hit-and-miss performances early in the campaign the Reserves went to Reading's Madejski Stadium in October and were rolled over. They lost 6-0, albeit to a side boasting seven players with Premiership experience. Yet by the time the Royals visited Underhill in April needing three points to secure the Reserve League South title, Arsenal had grit and determination and battled for a deserved point. They even had to come from two goals down, Jay Simpson equalising with a fine goal on 68 minutes before a thunderous strike from Jay Thomas, with the final kick of the game, pulled Arsenal level and put Reading's title celebrations back on ice.
3. Manchester United 4-2 Arsenal
Under-18s (aet)
FA Youth Cup Semi-Final 2nd leg, Old Trafford, April 2
Sixty seconds. That's how close Arsenal Under-18s were to reaching the Final of the FA Youth Cup for the first time since winning the trophy in 2001. One goal up from the first leg, the young Gunners looked within touching distance of the Final when they took the lead with a goal made and scored by the exceptional Kieran Gibbs four minutes after half time. But Manchester United rallied and restored parity on the night before levelling the tie in the third minute of added time. Striker Rhys Murphy looked to have salvaged Arsenal's hopes when he lobbed home in extra time but United again pulled level before Danny Welbeck broke Arsenal's hearts with a header four minutes from the end.
4. Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 Arsenal
Reserve League South, Broadhall Way, September 11
Debutant Fran Merida inspired a two-goal comeback in the first second-string North London derby of the season. The 16-year-old made one goal for fellow debutant Nacer Barazite and then scored a wonderful free-kick as Neil Banfield's side stormed back after trailing 2-0 at the interval. A revival seemed highly unlikely in the first half as Jamie O'Hara's penalty and Simon Dawkins' opportunistic strike gave Tottenham a fully-merited 2-0 advantage. However Banfield switched tactics at the interval and his youthful side produced an impressive response. Striker Jay Simpson even had a chance to snatch a late winner but it wasn't to be.
5. Arsenal Reserves 4-0 Charlton
Reserve League South, Underhill, August 28
Jeremie Aliadiere and Emmanuel Adebayor scored two goals each as a strong Arsenal side thumped Charlton 4-0 in the season's opening fixture. The Gunners took the lead on 14 minutes and, from then on, never looked in any danger. An experienced defence including Ashley Cole and Pascal Cygan soaked up any rare danger from Charlton while Theo Walcott and Mathieu Flamini were influential in midfield. This was the ideal start to the 2006/07 campaign and a rare chance for the Underhill crowd to witness first-team players in action for the second string. It also turned out to be both Cole and Cygan's last appearance for the Club.
