"This is my son's first Halloween and I wanted something to commemorate it with and so that his grandparents and aunts could have a memory. This card was perfect! I'm even putting one in his scrapbook."
"Fun Halloween themed card. Layout allows for more of your original photo to show, love that! Orange glitter look on back is a cute touch. My family was thrilled to receive this card!"
"The quality of these cards was astounding, and the pictures and colors were breathtaking!! Our friends and family couldn't stop raving about how much they loved the cards. The square, tri-fold design is chic and is what makes the card unique. I appreciated all the reminders from tiny prints about the extra postage required for square cards. (Within the USA it's 66 cents.) I wasn't aware of the option for "modified rectangular envelopes" until I had completed my order. I would absolutely recommend these cards to everyone!! They're gorgeous!!"

Real Black Friday News
While the most prominent US "Black Friday" headlines might have celebrated which electronic gadget is most popular this year (iPads), trumpeted record-breaking sales ($59 billion), or reported new appalling behavior by American shoppers (brawling over new shoes), there was one international headline that should have received much more attention — the fatal Bangladesh garment factory fire that killed more than 100 people.
As with most reports of factory fires, many casualties could have been avoided, if simple precautionary measures had been taken at the factory. According to the New York Times:
Experts say many of the fires could have easily been avoided if the factories had taken the right precautions. Many factories are in cramped neighborhoods and have too few fire escapes, and they widely flout safety measures. The industry employs more than three million workers in Bangladesh, most of them women. Activists say that global clothing brands like Tommy Hilfiger and the Gap and those sold by Walmart need to take responsibility for the working conditions in Bangladeshi factories that produce their clothes.
The Clean Clothes Campaign goes on to name additional international brands implicated:
The killed and injured workers were producing garments for international clothing brands when their factory, Tazreen Fashions, went up in flames. According to their website Tazreen produced for a host of well known brand names including C&A, Carrefour, KIK and Walmart. The Clean Clothes Campaign believes that international brands have shown ongoing negligence in failing to address the safety issues highlighted by previous fires, and that this leaves them with responsibility for yet another tragic loss of life.
And the International Labor Rights Forum puts the deaths in context and calls for greater fire safety in Bangladeshi factories:
According to ILRF research, since 2005 over 700 garment workers have died as a result of unsafe buildings in Bangladesh. The data indicate a trend that brands can no longer ignore. In March 2012, PVH Corp. (owner of Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, G.H. Bass, and Eagle) signed an agreement with Bangladeshi unions, international unions, ILRF and other labor rights groups to develop a fire safety program to prevent future deaths in Bangladesh's garment industry. … Other brands implicated in large, deadly factory fires in 2010 – including H&M, Gap, JCPenney, Target, Abercrombie, Kohl's and Carter's – have also been invited to join the agreement.
As long as US retailers race to the bottom to find the cheapest possible labor for their products, no matter what corners get cut, such tragedies will only continue.
Let us know in the comments how you plan to avoid sweatshop retailers for the holidays…

New England Nationals
For this weekend's New England Nationals, Epping is the center of the drag-racing world
By JASON SCHREIBER

"We've been meeting for almost a year about it. There will be kinks, but we'll just have to work them out as we go," he said.
According to the traffic plan, spectators traveling east on Route 101 will use Exit 8 in Brentwood and take a right into the dragway where they'll follow signs to parking areas. Those heading west on Route 101 will take Exit 9 in Exeter and turn right onto Route 27 (Epping Road) and proceed to the track where signs will direct them to parking locations.
Rooms at the Hampton Inn in nearby Exeter are sold out for Friday and Saturday.
"We started receiving calls last year at about the time they announced they were going to be doing the national race," said Amy Griswold, the hotel's director of sales.
After the Hampton Inn sold out, the hotel began recommending other hotels in the Portsmouth and Manchester areas.
Chris Felch, front desk associate at La Quinta Inn & Suites in Manchester, said the hotel was also sold out Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The Holiday Inn Express in Durham was booked up as well as others.
Many restaurants are also planning for a big weekend.
Goody Cole's Smokehouse in Brentwood is one place known for catering to the racing crowd.
Telly's Restaurant and Pizzeria in Epping is usually busy on a race weekend and is planning to be busier than normal this weekend.
Other restaurants were adding more workers in anticipation of big crowds.
"We're going to try to double our staff to get ready for it," said Khalad Sarid, manager at the Holy Grail Restaurant and Pub in Epping.

Is the newly revised Procomp heads the PC3002s. Im looking at buying me a set of them but dont want to buy the bad sets. Any info would help. These will go on a sbc 360 with 10.5;1 comp cams 294 525 solid lift cam, victor jr intake and holley 750 double pumper. Thanks for any info.
|Guys. This engine I have. Its a 94 TBI 350. It has 194K on it. I believe it still runs, and sounds fine. Maybe I should just give it a good bath, a fresh coat of black, and just install it the way it is for now to get the car running? See what kind of milage its going to get. If it is still decent, then go ahead and freshen it up with the parts mentioned. The two wheel drive 3/4 ton truck it came out of got 18 mpg on the hwy. It has 3.73 gears. Thats why I figured it wasent out of the relm of possibility to get that in a much lighter car with a touch lower rear gear.
Years ago, when I did a built for my cutlass, I was shooting for decent power and fuel economy. I`ll lay out the total spec and idea of it all.
Best mileage achieved with a carb is with all engines as low as the cruise speed RPM can go. So I was shooing for around 1800 RPM at 55. I didn`t achieve it because in the end I stayed with a TH350 instead of a 700R4 as planned. Secondly, I focused on combustion efficientcy and low end torque.
Here`s the package.
1996 Vortec 350 block. Standard bore. Decked .010 Stock Crank.
Stock 5.7 PM rods.
KB 14cc D Dish pistons. .015 down in the hole at top dead center.
.028 thickness GM head gaskets. Total Quench Distance: .043
Compression ratio: 9.3:1
906 casting Vortec heads. Springs matched to cam. Guides clearanced.
Comp Cams Hydraulic Roller. .204 duration @.050 .500 lift.
Crane stock replacement hydraulic roller tappets.
Comp Cams Magnum pushrods.
Cloyes Street single roller Vortec timing chain.
Edelbrock Performer Vortec intake.
SMI Rochester Quadrajet. K&N Air Filter.
Hooker super comp headers jet hot coated.
Dual Exhaust, Turbo Mufflers. H pipe.
Rebuilt HEI. Pertronix Flame thrower coil and module.
Moroso Blue Max spiral core 875 ohm spark plug wires.
Serpentine belt system off a 90 Camaro.
TH350 Transmission. Stock Converter.
3.23 posi rear.
For the short while I drove it, it got excellant mileage.
Why I didn`t drive it long was due to a mistake the machinist made.
When he got the block, we mic`d the bore, it checked out at 4.001
and it didn`t have a ridge so we knew it would clean up nicely at standard.
Since he had been doing my machine work for many years I trusted him but I always checked after him. This time I didn`t check the bores.
After the engine broke in it sounded like a diesel from excessive piston slap.
After about 1000 miles I pulled it back out not only because the piston slap but mostly because it smoked and I can`t stand a smoking vehicle. I measured the bores and found them at 4.009. How in the he** he honed it that far out I`ll never know. Even he knew at 4.009 it wouldn`t have sealed up even with forged pistons.
However, I should have taken it back to him and he would have made it right. But I had already invested $5000 in the engine, and I knew I would have to turn around and buy new pistons which I was not going to do. By that time, I had gotten my truck, so I sold most of the pieces at a loss and parked the cutlass and just drove my truck. Lesson I learned was no matter who does the machine work, always check after them. The one time I didn`t was the one time I payed the price. It still ticks me off to this day because that should not have happened. either his Mic was way off or he didn`t check the bore size Or possibly, he knew they were that far over and let it go anyways.
|do you drive the vehicle in the winter time? Do you drive it enough to say you will be able to save money by putting money into a rebuilt engine compared to just spending the extra money in gas? A MPFI system will probably be the way to go for fuel mileage, go to a junkyard and try to get a vortech 350 and drop into the car. The tbi heads and intake aren't even worth talking about.
The most glaring item is the 4:10 gears, O.D. or not, it hurts.
Hogging out a 700 cfm TBI for more flow, adding 1.6 rockers to open the intakes even wider, on a performance camshaft, seems counter productive when looking for mileage.
New engine combo.
Due to the fuel costs about to go through the roof again, I have decided to build a budget engine for my DD 70 Chevelle. My BBC is setting in the corner, and the LS1 is a LONG way from getting into the car. So, since one of my vehicles is a 02 Ford Diesel, and diesel fuel will be $5 a gal this summer, it leaves me no choice. Especially when I have a complete 94 TBI 350 setting there. I am however going to freshen the engine up and add some parts. First of which will be the heads. I know not many people like the Procomp aluminum heads. I have read some better things about their Revised SBC heads. So I am looking at a set of 190cc Procomps. And then something like a Holley Projection TBI intake, Compcams 12-262-4 cam, 1.6 ratio roller rockers, matching valve springs for cam, headers, bored 700 cfm TBI, EBL Flash card in the 94 ECM unit. I am trying to get decent power in my Chevelle and decent MPG. I would like to get at least 17 to 18 mpg. I am running 4.10:1 rear gear, and using the matching built 94 4l60E Auto OD. Any idea what kind of power this will make on a good tune from the ECM? Also, what kind of MPG should I expect? Thanks

Wednesday 18th January 2012
Analysing the facts is my preferred method after every game but likewise I really try hard not to make excuses when things don't go our way. We have 'coped' without a recognisable full back for a number of weeks now. Just maybe, however, the leaking of goals in our last couple of away games suggests the situation is finally proving to be costly.
Maybe that can be described as an 'excuse' and I can understand why it could be seen that way. Our injury situation, however, is fact.
The weekend just passed was entertaining and successful in every way except, of course, the result at the Liberty Stadium.
Bristol, like Swansea, is a city that has not been home to a top flight club for thirty years or so and consequently, although I have been there during the day, it is not somewhere I have enjoyed at night.
Saturday night proved thoroughly enjoyable, doing just that before heading into south Wales with the degree of Sunday morning discomfort such activities almost guarantee to present you with!
Passing Wales' capital city, Cardiff, and all the fantastic memories we have from there lifted the spirits. Once parked up and having enjoyed some lunchtime pre-match refreshment we entered the stadium for what our hosts' home record alone suggested was always going to be a tough encounter.
We could not have made a better start, Robin van Persie latching onto Arshavin's through ball to smash us in front and warm us all up on a bitterly cold day.
Overall we went in at half time having enjoyed three or four great openings and definitely should have been in front given the fact that replays have suggested the penalty was wrongly awarded. Theo, RvP and Rambo all saw great chances go begging.
Going forward I felt we looked dangerous throughout the second period too but mistakes ended up costing us in the worst possible fashion. The most frustrating situation was, of course, the third and decisive goal just when we all felt confident that the game was there to be won after Theo's equaliser.
So memories from our first visit to the Liberty Stadium are not fond ones.
The past cannot be changed and with a huge amount of the season still to go we must look forward. That starts with the visit of Manchester United on Sunday.
A tough, tough game we all know, and as fans we can always play our part.
Never forget, with all the history, belief, loyalty and class that goes with it, we are Arsenal.

The main reason I'm rethinking this is that I'm contemplating more solo sailing.

How does the Coast Guard decide when to call off a search-and-rescue mission? - By Christopher Beam - Slate Magazine
To determine someone's odds of survival, the Coast Guard uses software developed by the Canadian Defense Department called the Cold Exposure Survivability Model. Plug in various factorswater temperature, air temperature, the person's height and weight, garments worn, time of disappearance, access to flotation devicesand the program tells you how long the person is likely to stay alive. In general, someone floating in 50 degree water can only survive four hours (PDF). In 65 degree water, which was the temperature off the Florida coast this week, it takes the average person as many as seven hours to lose consciousness. If the water temperature is above 70 degrees, he could survive for daysthat is, if he doesn't die of thirst or exposure first. (The CESM can also calculate the odds of survival if someone is lost on land in cold weather.)
It seems to me the only completely failsafe PFD is the one that keeps you on board!

I dont know where you sail but where I am you would be lucky to last 3 hrs after that it would be irrelevant how long the life jacket stayed inflated.
My understanding is that it's normal to have to top-off inflatable vests once in a while using the manual inflation tube if you're in the water for quite a long time.
The other down-side I've read about inflatables is that they are so bouyant, it can be harder to swim in them than a non-inflatable. But you shouldn't be doing too much swimming while you're waiting for someone to home in on your EPIRB signal (you did leave the boat with one of those, right?). Swimming accelerates heat loss leaving you more voulnerable to the second biggest cause of marine deaths - hypothermia.
For us paranoid types, the other thing I really like about the Spinlock vest is the built in harness without those really heavy D-rings. Add the harness strap - and you've reduced another really big risk factor - you're more likely to stay on the boat in the first place!
Jeesh, its exhausting being paranoid .

Welcome to the Spinlock Website
The risk calculation changes with a unit this good. My cheap standard vest is guaranteed to work all the time because it has no mechanism to fail. The Spinlock however will keep my face up and has the spray hood which would be better if unconscious or in rough seas.
So what is more likely, being unconscious or the mechanism not working? I suspect being unconscious is more likely as everyone has said the mechanism is well tested for a long time.
But as someone said fixed flotation can not deflate. So I wonder if the Spinlock would remain buoyant for three days until I either was rescued or died of thirst.

While knowing how to swim may buy someone some time, and certainly can't hurt, it is not even a close substitute for a life vest.
Without a life jacket even the best of swimmers will be exhausted in minutes.
If someone does not wear a life jacket that's their choice of course.
But if they try to tell me that the "REASON" is that they know how to swim I immediately knee them in the groin, to simulate hitting a life line, then through them overboard. As they suck in saltwater I calmly ask them to demonstrate their vaunted swimming skills unless they would rather grab the dock line I through their way.
A nice dip at anchorage on a sunny day fine but to unexpectedly find oneself in the water even in good conditions is something entirely different.
Leading Cause: 90% of drowning fatalities in 2006 - victims were not wearing a life jacket
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Coast Guard Auxiliary is once again expressing great concern at the increase in the number of boating fatalities and injuries, and plans to step up its efforts to remind boaters that "You're In Command - Boat responsibly."
Published reports by U.S. Coast Guard Office of Auxiliary and Boating Safety, show that for the second consecutive year; the number of boating fatalities increased (710 deaths in 2006 vs. 697 in 2005) as did the number of injuries (3,474 injuries in 2006 vs. 3,451 in 2005). The reports also show some other consistent and disturbing facts; two-thirds of all fatal boating accident victims drowned. Of those, 90 percent were not wearing their life jackets.
As I'm also a little paranoid, when I test my auto-infatable vest next time, I'll also test using its manual inflation tube. If the auto-inflate mechanism fails (rare if the pill is not expired), next I'd try its manual inflation pull cord, and if that still didn't work, it'd blow it up using the manual inflation tube.
I think you eliminate the most risk by going with which ever PFD you'd actaully wear, whatever your preferences are. I've read in many places that most marine deaths by far are due to no PFD at all.
The new Spinlock auto-inflatable Deckvests seem to be enginered to take into account a broad range of the previously mentioned concerns (although no one product will address every worst case scenario), but they're not cheap.

I've had this helmet sitting around for probably a year and a half and it had taken a back seat. Over my vacation week from work, I began working on it a bit.
Now keep in mind, I'm not going for a screen accurate bucket. Instead, I wanted something that looked legitimately used and abused. Lots of texture and surface changes. The paint job is very tactile in that, for instance, after I painted on the kill stripes, I used an x-acto knife to go back and literally scratch and dig out the weathering as opposed to using a stencile. I did it this way because nobody else will ever have a bucket like this.
Please keep in mind this is a work in progress.
P.S. I made a mistake. I believe this is a DP 95 but the copyright info was filled in as soon as I got it so I can't be sure.

Arsène Wenger believes Andre Santos' attacking instincts will get him back on the scoresheet sooner rather than later.
The Brazilian has netted twice this season, firing home against Olympiacos in September before adding a second in the thrilling 5-3 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge a month later.
Santos will try for a repeat when Roberto di Matteo's side head to Emirates Stadium on Saturday, but Wenger admits the 29-year-old may have a fight on his hands with Kieran Gibbs fit to play once more.
"He does go for it and he was close to scoring with his right foot [against Wigan], especially in the first half," Wenger told Saturday's Official Matchday Programme. "He had a great chance from Robin in the second half when he mis-kicked but it was a great chance.
"I like to have a battle because we had many injuries and now Gibbs is back. In the last game I still had a doubt that he was completely ready but it is still a battle there.
"In every game it is an interesting choice but that is part of being a big club as well. You want the fight."

October 28, 2009
In regards to consecutive games that ended in a disappointing fashion, I am going to take a positive view.
Both games were on the road. We secured a point from each game.
I recall a season earlier this decade in which Arsenal seemed to drop points constantly against teams we should have beaten. There were a number of draws that all felt like losses, and each time we dropped points it felt like we were waving goodbye to any hopes of winning the title. That season was 2003/04. Suddenly a few extra draws doesn't seem so bad, does it?
The match at West Ham started quite well. Robin van Persie opened the scoring and took over the team lead with six goals in all competitions. Arsenal then extended that lead later in the first half on a William Gallas header, his fourth of the season. That should have been enough against a West Ham team that has been struggling in the league, but the wheels came off a bit in the second half.
West Ham managed to come back and tie it up in the late stages of the game, and some aggressive substitutions for Arsenal weren't enough to retake the lead. Certainly a frustrating result, and Thomas Vermaelen made it know that the players feel the same way. Gael Clichy added that while it was disappointing, the team needs to put it behind them and concentrate on their game.
The build-up to West Ham put a lot of focus on one position. All three goalkeepers received some attention with Vito Mannone picking up another start, Lukasz Fabianski talking about his determination to make up for lost time, and the Boss speaking about where Manuel Almunia stands in the pecking order. We can be sure that this will be an ongoing topic this season.
There were some interesting goings-on off the pitch last week as well. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Arsenal shareholders occurred on Thursday, and Arsène Wenger addressed the crowd. He centered his speech on the team – what he is building, the unity and strength of the squad, and the goals for the season. He also gave his view of how the team is positioned for both this season and the future.
Thursday also marked the Boss's 60th birthday. He spoke of the lessons he's learned during his time in football and said in no uncertain terms that he still has many years of coaching ahead of him.
The Carling Cup continues today with a big match against Liverpool. Carlos Vela spoke to Arsenal TV Online and explained why this competition is so special to young players. It's sure to be a special game for other reasons as well. It will mark the 750th game Arsène Wenger has managed for the Gunners and the return of Samir Nasri and Fabianski, who will be making their first appearances of the. It's not all good news, however, as two other players, Jack Wilshere and Armand Traore, will miss out.
Some of Arsenal's other young players are also unable to suit up today, not because of injury, but because they are currently out on loan. And it's been a pretty good week for some of them.
Looking ahead, one of the most anticipated matches of the season happens on Halloween day as Tottenham comes to the Emirates for in a North London derby. Spurs have been in good form this season, and currently sit fourth in the table, just one point behind Arsenal. Needless to say, this is a big one!
Until next week...

"A tie is like kissing your sister." - Former Michigan State football coach Duffy Daugherty
"Conceding a stoppage-time equalizer is like having your sister kick you in the teeth." - Kevin Mooney
Okay, so I don't actually have a sister. Nor have I ever been kicked in the teeth. But there is something poetic there, so I'm sticking with it.
Arsenal visited Alkmaar on Tuesday looking for a win to all but seal a ticket to the next stage of the Champions League. Despite the return of Manuel Almunia, Vito Mannone was in the net, while Emmanuel Eboue got a start up front. A goal by Cesc Fabregas in the 36th minute, after some nice work by Andrey Arshavin and Robin van Persie, gave the Gunners the lead, which they held for more than 50 minutes. Arsenal nearly put the game away several times in that period, but three minutes into stoppage time…
Here comes the sister.
AZ's Graziano Pelle nodded down a free-kick into the path of Mendes da Silva who volleyed the ball into the net.
It is a funny thing, a draw. We still earned a point. We are still sitting at the top of the Group H table. And yet it's still really frustrating. But let's put this behind us. As Gael Clichy said, many people would say a 1-1 away draw in the Champions League is not a bad thing. Certainly not like losing 2-1 at home to Rubin Kazan as Barcelona did yesterday. There are still three games to go in the group stage, and one win should put us through to the next round.
Saturday saw Birmingham City come to London in the first game since the international break ended, and Theo Walcott made his first start of the season. It was a short-lived experience, however, and he left the game a few minutes after a strong challenge by Birmingham's Liam Ridgewell. Goals in quick succession by Van Persie and Abou Diaby gave the Gunners a comfortable lead until Lee Bowyer scored in the 38th minute. It wasn't until five minutes from time that Arshavin sealed the win.
There is always some concern about a post-break hangover, and Arsenal did not play at the same standard they had before the break. But then again, this is exactly the kind of win many critics have said Arsenal could not win in previous years. Plus, it moves us back into the top four with one game in hand.
One somewhat worrying issue comes from post-match comments by Bacary Sagna after the AZ match and from Diaby after the Birmingham match. This is a good time to work out the kinks, and better lessons be learned now than January and February.
On the injury news front, aside from Walcott, the news is pretty positive. Samir Nasri and Lukasz Fabianski lined up for the Arsenal Reserves against Wolverhampton on Tuesday. Nasri was in sharp form for 58 minutes, assisting on Gilles Sunu's opening goal, and Fabianski looked quite good at times. It should make for some tough decisions for Arsène Wenger in the upcoming weeks.
Speaking of the Boss, be sure to raise a glass to him on Thursday in honor of his 60th birthday. He says he has no plans to celebrate, but more important for Gunners fans, he also has no intention of leaving the game. It is what one should expect, however, based on how he feels about this squad.
There is also some extra excitement at Arsenal TV Online these days. Friday programming made its long-awaited return, and it will be even better this week with Arsenal legend Charlie George joining Tom Watt in the Fans' Forum. You can see that and the Preview show and an Arsenal star in the Spotlight live from 2pm ET this Friday. While you are there, you can also check out Andrey Arshavin talking about his perfect game of football.
Also, in case you missed it, former Gunner Danny Karbassiyoon sat down with Arsenal.com to talk about his playing days and his current role as North American scout for the Club. He's got some very interesting things to say and some great advice for all young players out there.
Looking ahead, Arsenal travels across town on Sunday to visit West Ham, and then on Wednesday, the Club faces Liverpool in the Carling Cup. Want to know where to watch the game? Check out TV listings and a link to Arsenal America's venue guide here.
Until next week…

These International breaks sometimes seem interminable. Somehow it's only been 10 days since the win against Blackburn.
International competitions often deliver some amazing football, but Romania v Faroe Islands just doesn't match up to a North London derby. To the players, however, lining up for their country is a lifelong ambition. Carlos Vela sat down with Arsenal TV Online before the break to explain the feeling.
Despite the lack of Arsenal as a club, we have seen some pretty impressive performances by Arsenal players out on international duty. In European qualification, Philippe Senderos out in a two-goal performance for the Swiss, and Cesc Fabregas and William Gallas scored for Spain and France respectively. In other parts of the world, Mexico and Ivory Coast got the results they needed to book their trips to the 2010 World Cup, with Carlos Vela scoring for Mexico. The Under-21s were also involved with Kieran Gibbs scoring for England and Wojciech Szczesny keeping a clean sheet for Poland.
One last batch of matches later today and everyone will be returning to the Club, hopefully all in one piece.
Aside from the usual injury worries, another bad aspect to the break was that Arsenal had been on a definite hot streak. That being said, the break has been a good time to reflect on the season so far. Plenty of players have come out to say how the new formation suits them as individuals and as a team. Especially the midfield. Fabregas thinks the 4-3-3 is bringing out the best in him, and former Arsenal captain Frank McLintock says that Alex Song provides the vital anchor role in midfield, much like his former teammate Peter Storey did in the '60s and '70s. Denilson also raved about the formation and discussed how the midfielders adapted to the change.
Perhaps joining the ranks of first-team midfielders soon will be 18-year-old Frenchman Francis Coquelin. He's been a fixture in the Reserves side this season, and has two Carling Cup appearances to his name. That clearly is not enough to satisfy his ambition, however, and he is working his tail off to make it to the first team for good.
Another young player with plenty of ambition is Vito Mannone. He took his turn in the Spotlight this week and spoke about his impressive performances so far this season. He also speaks about waiting to get his opportunity how happy he is to have been playing at the top level.
Tomas Rosicky also is a man who is happy to be playing. After nearly two years in the training room, he seems to have firmly entrenched himself in the line-up, and Cesc couldn't be happier. I think most fans would agree with that sentiment.
Looking ahead, Saturday sees the season kick-off again as Birmingham comes to town. If you can't wait that long, don't worry, Friday marks the return of the Arsenal TV schedule. Starting at 11am ET, Dan Roebuck will be in the studio for Arsenal Live. He'll provide a look back at the previous week, and give you all the news and interviews to prepare you for Saturday's game. Then at 12:15pm ET, the lines open for the Friday Fan Forum and anyone can join via phone email or text. Tune into Arsenal TV Online to watch!
Until next week…

Another big home win and we look to be firing on all cylinders at the moment.
Always known for a tough, blue-collar style of play, Blackburn and their manager Sam Allardyce have always provided a tricky match for Arsenal. Even with a final score of 6-2, Arsenal needed to come back from behind twice in order to put the game away. But the highlights from Sunday were textbook Arsenal.
A simply masterful performance by Cesc Fabregas – one goal and four assists – showed what our captain is all about. And in yet another display of team balance, we saw six goals from six different players.
Team-leading goal scorer Thomas Vermaelen continued to confuse Premier League defenders by netting Arsenal's opening goal from 30 yards. Followed by Cesc-induced strikes from Robin van Persie and Andrey Arshavin, Arsenal went into half time with a one-goal lead. Cesc himself got on the score sheet with a long-range shot fired past Blackburn goalkeeper Paul Robinson. Not done with his goal-making, Cesc set up Theo Walcott for his first goal of the season in his first game of the season. Nicklas Bendtner then wrapped up the scoring with an 89th minute shot from outside the area.
Goals like that can make you wonder if perhaps a visit by a former team captain inspired the team to score those goals with such style. The timing of Thierry Henry's visit was also quite appropriate as the fifth goal of the game marked the 200th Arsenal goal at Emirates Stadium.
Aside from the win, the big news was the return of Walcott. He's thrilled by the new formation and Arsène Wenger is clearly happy to have him back in the fold.
We also got to take a look inside the minds of three other young players. Bendtner took his turn in the spotlight, and Carlos Vela discussed his plans to make up for lost time this season. Vito Mannone, meanwhile, spoke about how we almost missed out on seeing his early season heroics as he very nearly went out on loan this season. Meanwhile, the boss set the bar pretty high for Arshavin.
As we head back into an international break, we won't see Arsenal again until Birmingham comes for a visit on October 17th. As always, though, there will be plenty of Arsenal players in action.
Until next week…

Two Canisius baseball players have earned weekly honors from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Senior Jimmy Luppens (Wading River, N.Y.) received the MAAC Player of the Week award while junior Rohn Pierce (Lockport, N.Y.) earned MAAC Pitcher of the Week for the second time in the season's first three weeks.
Luppens recorded multi-hit games in all three contests, posting four extra base hits and collecting six RBIs in a sweep of East Tennessee State. The MAAC Preseason Player of the Year hit .500 with two doubles and two home runs, posting a 1.167 slugging percentage on the weekend. He also had at least one RBI and scored a run in each game. A third-inning double from Luppens in Saturday's 2-0 win proved to be the game-winning hit.
Luppens earned MAAC Player of the Week honors for the third time in his career.
Through nine games, is hitting .333 with three doubles, two home runs, nine RBI, a .633 slugging percentage and .487 on-base percentage.
Pierce, who won MAAC Pitcher of the Week honors after the opening weekend when he defeated No. 5 North Carolina State and All-American Carlos Rodon, threw his first career shutout in a 2-0 win at defending Atlantic Sun champion East Tennessee State on Saturday. The junior allowed three hits, walked zero and struck out six on 87 pitches. Pierce retired the first 10 batters he faced and also retired the final 12 batters of the contest. The 6-foot-3 righty only allowed one baserunner to reach second base in the entire game.
Pierce (2-0) is tied for 19th in the country among pitchers with at least 20 innings thrown with a 0.78 earned run average. Pierce has two walks and 18 strikeouts in 23 innings pitched.
Canisius (6-3), winners of fourth straight, returns to the field for a four-game series at Norfolk State. The series begins with a single game on Friday, with first pitch set for 3 p.m.

Is Roe v. Wade in Danger?
By: Mehroz Baig
Even though 87 percent of all U.S. counties lack an abortion provider according to 2008 data, actions to restrict the access of abortion services continue steadily. In 2013 so far, state legislatures have introduced 321 anti-choice measures and enacted 46 of them, according to internal research by NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation. NARAL defines anti-choice broadly, including any measure that hinders a woman's ability to exercise her reproductive rights.

This is the first installment of the "Canisius Men's Basketball Summer Series", which will feature a look back at various aspects from the 2012-13 season and eventually a look forward to the 2013-14 campaign. These features will be posted every Monday throughout the summer until Monday, Aug. 26, the first official day of school for the 2013-14 academic year.
Leading off is a look back at the five biggest wins of the 2012-13 season. The Golden Griffins ended the 2012-13 campaign with a 20-14 overall record and an 11-7 mark in MAAC play. The 20-win season was the program's first 2000-01, and the team's 15-game improvement in the win column ended up being the third best at the Division I level in 2012-13.
No. 1 – Canisius 77, Niagara 70 – Video Highlights • Social Media Recap
Led by Billy Baron and his career-high 33 points, Canisius went on the road and defeated long-time rival Niagara 77-70 in front of a sold-out Gallagher Center in Lewiston, N.Y. The win not only improved the Griffs to 16-9 overall, it also served as the team's ninth league win of the year, securing at least a .500 record in conference play for just the fourth time in the last 15 years. The victory also snapped the Blue and Gold's nine-game road losing streak in Niagara's Gallagher Center and it allowed the Griffs to claim a win over all three of their Western New York rivals (Buffalo, Niagara and St. Bonaventure) in the same season since 2000-01.
Baron's 33 points, the most for a Canisius player in a road game since former Griff Micheal Meeks scored 36 in a win at Pennsylvania Nov. 16, 1994, came after he went 11-for-22 from the field, 4-for-8 from 3-point land and 7-for-8 from the foul line in 39 minutes of action. Harold Washington scored 18 points and Jordan Heath chipped in eight points to go with 12 rebounds. Heath had three field goals in the game, but none was bigger than his put-back dunk with 52 seconds left on the clock to help seal Canisius' first road win over Niagara since Nov. 30, 2002.
No. 2 – Canisius 84, Youngstown State 82 (OT) – Box Score
Trailing by 22 points with 18:17 left in regulation time, the Canisius men's basketball team got back into the game with a 20-0 run and eventually defeated Youngstown State 84-82 in overtime March 23 in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament in Youngstown, Ohio. The win allowed the Golden Griffins to advance to the CIT quarterfinal, where the Blue and Gold eventually lost to Evansville in the Koessler Athletic Center three days later.
The win over the Penguins improved Canisius to 20-13 on the year, marking the seventh 20-win campaign in program history and the first since 2000-01. Billy Baron scored a game-high 30 points, with 26 of those coming in the second half and overtime. Alshwan Hymes scored a season-high 19 points off the bench, as the Griffs outscored Youngstown State 56-37 in the final 25 minutes of game action. All nine Canisius players scored in the victory, with Harold Washington posting nine points and six rebounds and Jordan Heath adding eight points and six boards in the winning effort.
The 22-point come-from-behind win was not only the largest comeback victory in program history (records dating back to 1970), but it also stands as the second-largest second-half comeback win in MAAC history. Fairfield overcame a 27-point deficit to defeat George Mason 101-96 in overtime in the 2010 CIT.
No. 3 – Canisius 72, Temple 62 – Social Media Recap
The visiting Griffs shot 48 percent from the field, 58.3 percent from 3-point range and 92.9 percent from the free-throw line in the game's final 20 minutes while outscoring the host Temple Owls by a 44-26 clip in the second half en route to a 72-62 victory Dec. 19 in the Chevrolet Gotham Classic at The Liacouras Center. The win moved Canisius to 8-2 on the year, and it allowed the Griffs to become just the second team in 38 contests to defeat the Owls on their home court.
The win over Temple was Canisius' first win over an Atlantic 10 school, other than St. Bonaventure, since the team defeated Duquesne 88-71 during the 1998-99 season. The victory also marked the Griffs' first win over a member of Philadelphia's famed Big 5 (La Salle, Penn, Saint Joseph's, Temple and Villanova) since the team beat Penn in the first game of the 1994-95 Preseason NIT. Billy Baron had game-high 19 points and Isaac Sosa chipped in 13 points, with 10 of those coming in the game's second stanza. Canisius drained 10 3-point field goals in the game, with seven coming after intermission and the Griffs ended the contest with a 41-35 advantage on the glass, as Chris Manhertz (13 rebounds) and Josiah Heath (11 rebounds) tallied 24 of the team's 41 boards.
Three days later, Temple went on the defeat then No. 3 Syracuse 83-79 in the Chevrolet Gotham Classic game played in Madison Square Garden. After the Owls' win, Canisius ended up trending on Twitter for nearly one hour.
No. 4 – Canisius 72, St. Bonaventure 69 – Video Highlights • Photo Gallery
In one of the most anticipated home games in recent memory, the Griffs knocked off long-time rival St. Bonaventure 72-69 in front of a sold-out Koessler Athletic Center Nov. 17 to improve to 2-0 for the first time since 2000-01. Harold Washington scored 18 of his game-high 23 points in the second half and Isaac Sosa poured in 14 points as Canisius snapped a 20-game losing streak when trailing at intermission.
The Blue and Gold trailed the Bonnies by a 37-32 count at the break, and St. Bonaventure held a 65-59 advantage with 6:23 left on the clock before the Griffs ripped off 13-4 run to end the game. Canisius trailed by one point with 53 seconds left, but Chris Manhertz's tip-in off a miss by Washington put the home team up for good at 68-67. In the game's final 30 seconds, both Washington and Sosa hit a pair of free-throws to secure the win, allowing first-year head coach Jim Baron to become the first Griff bench boss to win his first two games at the helm of the program since John McCarthy won five-straight to open the 1974-75 season.
No. 5 – Canisius 77, Iona 74 – Video Highlights • Social Media Recap
The Griffs knocked down 14 3-point field goals and the team's defense held high-scoring Iona to just 34 second-half points en route to a thrilling 77-74 victory Feb. 2 in the Koessler Athletic Center. The win was Canisius' fifth victory in its last six games at the time.
Billy Baron led all scorers with a game-high 23 points as all five Canisius starters scored in double figures for the second-straight game. Harold Washington posted 13 points and Isaac Sosa was good for 12 points. Chris Manhertz scored 12 points and pulled down a team-high eight rebounds in the win for the Griffs, and Jordan Heath was good for 10 points and seven boards. As a team, Canisius shot 40 percent from the field, 46.7 percent from 3-point land after going 14-for-30 from long range and 70.4 percent from the free-throw line.
The 14 makes from 3-point land against the Gaels was one of 13 occasions during the 2012-13 season where the Blue and Gold hit 10 or more 3-pointers in a game. The win also gave the Griffs 15 wins by Feb. 2, the first time the program had reached the 15-win mark for the season that early in February since 1985-86.

This is part of my series of posts that I'm putting together about how we approach PPC campaign management for our clients.
- Landing page optimization
- Google AdWords, quality score & you
- Google AdWords ad extensions – Part 1 – What they are & how they work
- Google AdWords ad extensions – Part 2 – Our client test
Today's topic is:
PPC Campaign Organization
Everyone at Amplify Interactive knows that I tend to obsess about organization. I have a folder for everything, I maintain a well pruned task list, I harp on them about keeping our project management systems up to date, we have a process in place for nearly everything, etc. So it should come as no surprise that all of our PPC campaigns must be well organized and thought out so that our efforts at optimization are easy.
"Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up."
-A.A. Milne
Success Starts at the Very Bottom – Organizing Your Terms
One of the biggest PPC campaign pitfalls we see when we take over campaigns from someone else is that the previous owner was lazy and put too many terms into too few ad groups. Taking the time to organize your terms into granular, extremely focused ad groups makes things easier in the long run. Consider the following example:
Let's say your company is called "SawCompany" and you make Circular Saws. After doing your keyword research, you realize there are three major categories of terms.
- Branded: terms that contain your brand name "sawcompany"
- Circular Saw: searches for circular saws ranging from general to extremely specific
- Safety/Injury Prevention: searches for safety features
In AdWords – we'll turn these distinct categories into "campaigns". Within these campaigns – we'll organize the terms into specific ad groups where the terms within each ad group are specifically related to one another, and generally related to the general category. After some work – we come up with the following structure:
PPC Campaign Organization Will Set You Free
Organizing a campaign like this will give us the power to do two very specific things:
- Understand performance and manage our spend by term, group and category. If a particular Ad Group and/or Campaign is performing particularly well – we'll be able to tell right away and explore options like allocating more budget to the top performing group/campaign so that our ads show as often as possible. We'll also be able to tell if there's a specific group or campaign that doesn't perform very well so we can prune it from our spend and maintain a good quality score.
- Test ad copy at the ad group level and run the best possible ad copy for each individual group which will, you guessed it, help us to maintain a good quality score. If we didn't have our search terms broken up into really specific ad groups, we might end up running the same ad copy for a term like "woodworking safety" that we do for "best contractor saw". These terms are clearly entirely different and we should be serving different ads and landing pages for each.
There are other benefits to be sure, but I'm not going to give you all our secrets. Please feel free to share any PPC campaign management & organization tips with our readers by commenting below!

Oswald wedding ring
Ring from hand that shaped history to be auctioned off
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader | June 13. 2013 10:17PM
Lee Harvey Oswald and wife Marina failed to reconcile on the night of Nov. 22, 1963. As a result, Oswald left his wedding ring behind and the next day assassinated President John F. Kennedy. Oswald's wedding ring will be auctioned off by RR Auction of Amherst in October, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination. (COURTESY)
It didn't go so well. The native Russian had given her husband the silent treatment most of the time, and hopeful statements he did hear were followed by contradictions, according to the Warren Report, the government's account of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
A year ago, that wedding band was found in the files of Marina Oswald's lawyer, apparently forgotten after being returned years ago by the FBI, said Bobby Livingston, executive vice president of RRAuction of Amherst.
Oswald advocated for Castro and communist Cuba; he tried to shoot a prominent right-wing extremist, retired Army Gen. Edwin A. Walker; he visited Mexico so he could speak to Cuban officials about defecting to Cuba.
His marriage was about as successful as the rest of his life. Oswald forbade Marina, who could not speak English, to smoke, drink or wear makeup. He hit her on occasion.She complained about a lack of money, called his political activities foolish, and disparaged him in front of others for his sexual inadequacies.She was living with a mutual friend in Irving when Oswald visited Nov. 21. She was angry and give him the silent treatment. He asked her to move to bring their daughters to Dallas, where he had a job at the school book depository.She said she wanted to stay with their friend in Irving through the holidays, and they were spending less money apart."And I told him to buy me a washing machine," she told the Warren Commission. He said he would, then she told him to forget it; he should buy something for himself.
On Monday, Manchester jeweler David Bellman examined the ring as part of the authentication process.
It is a basic, 14-karat-gold ring. After cleaning it, Bellman could examine some engravings inside: a letter P, followed by a star, and the numbers 583. Inside the star are a barely detectable hammer and sickle.
"She wants nothing to do with that ring. She wants nothing to do with that day. She's got grandchildren. She's moved on with life," he said.

Vito Mannone says his loan spell at Hull City last season convinced him he could become a No 1.
The Italian equalled a 104-year Tigers club record after keeping six successive clean sheets in the Championship after moving to the KC Stadium in January.
And now the 24-year-old is making the most of his opportunity at Arsenal, conceding just one goal in three appearances this season.
"I had a great spell last year [at Hull] where I learned how to be a No 1 really," Mannone said. "When you have games every three days it is a big challenge because you need to recover well and prepare for the next one.
"Goalkeeper is one of the most important positions on the field because you can make a save and bring the three points home or you can make a mistake and everything is your fault.
"Every goalkeeper has his own path. I had mine. I had bad times and I just rolled up my sleeves and worked hard. Then, I thought, 'let's go to Hull'.
"I found myself really well. I found a good club, good fans and gained experience. I played games as a No 1 - 24 games in a row - and that's what I needed. It helped me going on to the pitch thinking 'OK, I can be No 1 now'."
Mannone has been an assured presence since his return to Emirates Stadium, and made a vital late stop against Montpellier in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
"The boss knows that I have the kind of experience now to play and I think I have shown it in the three games I have played," he said.
"They were tough games away at Stoke and Liverpool. Even against Montpellier it wasn't easy because you come to opponents in the Champions League and you could see they really pushed hard towards the end.
"The boss told me, 'if you keep doing well, you are going to be ready'. That's what I am hoping for."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

Arsène Wenger is confident that a number of Arsenal's NextGen Series squad have the talent to progress to the first team.
The Frenchman has already given senior debuts to Serge Gnabry, Thomas Eisfeld and Martin Angha this season, while Jernade Meade and Damian Martinez have also made their first competitive appearances.
Wenger believes the NextGen experience has been beneficial for the Club's youngsters, and expects many of them to forge a successful career.
"We have a good group coming through at the moment and I believe in one or two years you will see them more," Wenger told the Official Arsenal Magazine.
"They have done well in the NextGen Series so far this season, and there are five or six players in there you can identify who will join the group in the future. That could make a very strong bunch of players who have been educated with our philosophy and can build the long-term future for the Club.
"[The competition] is a very interesting experience. First of all the quality of the games are very good. Also they are confronted with the best young players from all over Europe, and so we can compare our players with the best from other big clubs, and they can compare themselves too.
"It helps you see who can make it at that level. The games have some pressure on them too, which helps to work out which players have a chance to make it. That's very important for us.
"We have seen people like Kris Olsson, Jon Toral, Hector Bellerin this season - I don't want to forget anybody - Martin Angha too who has already played for the first team. There are many interesting players in this group. I would say there are seven or eight who have a real chance to play for Arsenal."

Do you get tired of hearing how good for you beans and legumes are? Well, don't worry, I'm not going to insult your intelligence and go down that route again. But I have made a conscious effort to include them more and more in my meal planning. It's pretty easy really, because they are so versatile, they can go in anything…soups, salads, main dishes, side dishes. They can be the star of the show or a supporting player. As an added bonus, they aren't expensive.
Even though they aren't expensive, I've started buying them dried, by the bag and cooking them overnight in my slow cooker. The next morning, I portion them out (roughly the same amount that is a can) and label and freeze. Now, they are even less expensive and they taste better! I plan on doing this once a week, until I have a pleasant assortment of beans in my freezer. (Note..I have no idea what I mean by "pleasant assortment of beans".)
My first batch was chickpeas. I stored 2 containers in the freezer and used one to make this side salad. I used my favorite marinade ingredients, whisked them together and added the drained chickpeas. Instant salad.
Lemon and Thyme Chickpea Salad
4 side dish servings
juice from 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
15 1/2 ounce can of chickpeas drained (or close enough!)
Whisk together ingredients for dressing in a small bowl, add the chickpeas and salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature.
This simple, fresh salad will be my entry for this week's Weekend Herb Blogging hosted by Chriesi at Almond Corner.

Bacary Sagna admits that Arsenal are "too nice" and must be more ruthless if they want to turn their potential into trophies.
The Gunners' slim title hopes were finally extinguished on Sunday with a 3-1 defeat at Stoke City and, not for the first time this season, Arsène Wenger's side were vulnerable to set pieces.
More than half the goals Arsenal have conceded this term have come from corners or free kicks and they fell behind at the Britannia Stadium when Jermaine Pennant's delivery was allowed to reach Kenwyne Jones.
"I think we are too nice, we have to fight a bit more," Sagna told Arsenal TV Online after the game.
"We have to push them as much as they push us and be a bit more 'killer'. We are not defending as well as we have to and against big players like they [Stoke] are it is very difficult.
"It can be put right on the training ground because it is in our mind. We know we are very good players but sometimes we have to fight a bit more.
"We didn't do that as much as we did it last week [against Manchester United]. We have to put in performances week after week and fight even more.
"We didn't deserve to win on Sunday. We didn't give enough, we didn't play as we can and that's what happens when you don't give the maximum - you get beaten everywhere."
Subscribers can now watch our exclusive post-match interview with Sagna. He discusses:
- what went wrong at Stoke
- defending set pieces
- the mental aspect of defending
- the need to finish in the top three
- Thomas Vermaelen's return

This is a place to collect thoughts on building a better edit_number widget.
Editing numbers is fairly fundamental within a UI. Numbers, always have some semantic interpretation - they mean something. Often the semantics of a number are so specialized that it deserves a separate widget - a good example is a data/time widget.
However, the a common use of numbers in UI is to represent measured values such as distance, weight, opacity, intensity, count, etc. Such measured values should be treated consistently within the UI (even here, we only have a guideline - selecting an angle is an example of a measured value which likely deserves a custom widget).
This page lists the desired attributes of a good edit_number widget - some of these attributes apply more broadly to other widgets but edit_number is such a commonly used widget that exploring it is a good way to cover many issues.
The issues to consider in the design of this one widget are all quite entangled - choices made in one area impact another. This page doesn't attempt to design a solution - only to organize and list the issues.
Units and Related Values
Numbers are an interpretation of something. Any physicist will tell you that all numbers have a unit associated with them. A single number can often be represented in multiple units - such as inches and cm. Within a UI a user should be able to change the units a value is displayed in, as well as change the unit a value is interpreted in. There are two distinct operations "show me this 3cm value as inches" and "interpret this 3 as 3 inches." Often units are related to other values - for example the inches width in an image is related to the resolution of the image - it's percentage width may be related to a previous size. The size a video will take up on disk is a function of many variables (time, frame size, compression). Depending on the unit, the related values may change. This is why in the current edit_number allows separate binding per unit.
Valid Ranges, Increments, and Scales
Numbers are often constrained to ranges and increments and an appropriate view for a range may be a non-linear scale such as logarithmic. Making the valid range discoverable, handling of invalid entries (see Filtering vs. Validation), and representation for the scale and increments for analog input are all issues. The range and increments should also come into play in the choice for the width of the edit_number field.
There should also be a mechanism to "bump" a value up and down by a meaningful increments (which may not be the same as a limiting increment on the value) - bumping values should be accessible from both the keyboard an mouse.

Arsène Wenger believes Arsenal will encounter a different style of play than they have done in previous seasons when they visit Blackburn on Saturday. All the same, he expects a "massive test" at Ewood Park.
Since the appointment of Steve Kean, Rovers have adopted a quick, exciting brand of football played by technically-astute players, taking an altogether contrasting approach to the one employed by previous managerial regimes.
With just one point from their opening four games, Blackburn currently sit bottom of the Premier League table but Wenger is under no illusions that his side face a tough challenge at the weekend.
"I'm not sure that Blackburn is the team now that goes for high balls," he said. "It's more Stoke where you get this kind of typical old-fashioned English test.
"Blackburn have gone more different but it's a big test for us. It's a massive test for us.
"First of all you know if you want to play a good role in the Premier League, the way you go from the Champions League to the Premier League is important.
