Re: Tips on Watch Standing
Lots of good stuff in this thread!
Caveat, I have lots of time on submarines and plenty of time looking at sailboats from the deck of a sail boat and one delivery Florida to VA vial Gulf stream then to Connecticut.
20 minutes between checking the RADAR and scanning the horizon is way too long. Do some math, how long does it take a 600-foot ship and your boat to close from his horizon-distance to a collision? Bow-on, there could be over 30 knots closure, if you turn 30 degrees, you still have 90% of your original closure rate!
Horizon scans ought to be every 5 minutes. the RADAR ought to be on continuously at night - it probably draws less amps than refrigeration or the autopilot.
Speaking of which - don't use the ap except for brief periods. Hand steer! How else are you going to know how the boat is really performing. Staring at the kingpost will just put you to sleep or hypnotize you.
As for Radio, I found that channel 13 is at least as useful as 16. Norfolk Shipping channel proves This. those guys were _very_ happy to work it out with you to keep everybody clear. but it was on 13, not 16! Another time, I was hailing a boat I'd had visually for an hour and didn't get him on 16 ever - then switched to 13 and there he was!
Don't become overly reliant on any single method for contact detection. I've had very large merchants on visual (daytime) that I just couldn't get on RADAR (no matter how I tweaked gain, interference rejection & PRF/range scales and vice-versa!
Tethered at night _has_ to be a rule, you never know where that next rogue breaker is coming from. Rule - stay with the boat.
Have full foul-weather gear at-hand for the watch - Murphy says that when you decide to go find it, the bad things will happen and it will all go sideways before you can get back to the cockpit.
Carry a knife that you can operate with one hand in every layer of clothing that you have on! Just in case you have to deviate from the previous rule.
Cary a waterproof light of somekind in every layer or on a lanyard around your neck.
Have the crew practice sleeping with background noise - I sleep with NPR on all the time - not a problem.
Make sure that your relief is up to it! I once got relieved while the sub was on the surface & my relief lasted 5 minutes - got seasick. On the delivery, the skipper went to take a nap after dinner, came up 5 minutes later, thought he'd been asleep for an hour, looking very groggy. I declined the relief & he _then_ got 8 hours of sleep! No complaints! An alert watchstander is a happy boat.
They should visit the entire boat and review all logs since their last watch _and_ spend 15 minutes in the cockpit eating, re-hydrating - remember, they've been asleep for hours without a drink - probably - then a head-break before finally suiting up to take the watch - even in the daylight.
Someone else already said it, but it bears repeating. Keep the extraneous sounds down. You need to hear the boat and the environment. I really can't sail well with the stereo blasting or ear-buds in my ears. Conversation or VFH radio is not a problem, but music just covers up too much.
We also had a rule that the off-going watch were the first-responders. They knew the conditions the best and though tired are the best equipped to step in. whether it be head breaks it trouble with equipment. OK, some things are all-hands, but if it's a sheet caught up on something or something else that someone has to work that out the watchstander should ask for help before getting caught up in it too much.
Make sure their head is in the game. I can go to sleep after 15 minutes of reading, listening to news, etc. on a good evening at home. If I have to actually think about something, make calculations, etc. I tend to stay awake long after I should have gone to bed. How long to the next tack? how long till cross-track error is too high? If I change course 30 degrees, how will that change CPA? If I slow down 5 knots? How long till I have to wake the skipper & give them that answer? Keep asking the watch those things till they tell you before you ask.
Re: Tips on Watch Standing
On our boat you are woken for your watch by a gentle shake and a hot cup of coffee, then a short chat to advise any change during the off watch. It is the job of the on watch person to wake their replacement, and if they did it with a horn or whistle god help them when its my turn.

One thought I had this winter is to obtain an extra fire extinguisher to be easily available in the cockpit. With fires most likely at/near the engine or galley - both of which are very close to the companion way - we may not have ready access to the equipment mounted at/inside the companion way.

Re: Tips on Watch Standing
problem is sailors sometimes are testosterone crazy. For instance, in above post he got injuried first day out and was "toughing it out". Agree knowing detaled med Hx. BEFORE you start is very worthwhile.

I use medical forms which are stored in the ship's log. With some companies, the forms are sealed until needed. I have had one bout of neurally mediated syncope; I tell them how I prevent another episode and what to do if I do lose consciousness.

text: I'm an adult skater at the adult silver level. I've been skating freestyle in Graf dance boots for several years and really like them overall because I get a crease and can really bend my knees and point my toes. Most boots are too stiff...as an adult I don't jump like the kids to really crease them...my observation of other adult skaters is the same. With my dance boots however, due to low cut and little ankle support, jumping is a little harder from the loop on up. I am ready to get new boots and was going to get the Pro-flex by Jackson hinged boot because it sounded like the best of both worlds....ankle flexion but lateral support. Now I find they are discontinued . Does anyone know of someone with stock still left or have any suggestions for a boot that would fit my needs???

Arsène Wenger has yet to decide whether Alex Song will stay at Arsenal this season.
The Cameroon midfielder has been linked with a move to Barcelona but his manager insists that no bid has been received for the 24-year-old.
"This decision is not made," said Wenger at his pre-match press conference. "No [bid has been made] and I cannot tell you more.
"I don't know [about Song] at the moment, my focus is more on tomorrow's game."
Wenger says he will enter the market if necessary before the transfer window closes, but he believes that Arsenal are well-stocked in midfield.
"Midfield is a different area because we have nine or ten midfielders of top-class quality," he said.
"Just today we have six or seven midfielders available, plus Wilshere and Frimpong who are coming back. Diaby is available again, Arteta, Cazorla, Ramsey, and Oxlade-Chamberlain now plays central midfield. This is an area where we have much more freedom to make decisions."

Perhaps the quintessential cautionary geek tale, Steven Spielberg's movie version of Jurassic Park was just about perfect when it came out twenty years ago. Filled with insatiable, gender-bending, carnivorous dinosaurs, disemboweled lawyers keeling over on tiki toilets, and not nearly enough Jeff Goldblum (who played sublimely-sexy chaos theorist Ian Malcolm), Jurassic Park was solid, bone-crunching family fun.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
Twenty years later, it's fun that has been made even better through the magic of 3-D and IMAX — because, yeah, that scene where Jeff Goldblum is sitting in the back of that jeep as that t-rex bears down upon him in a snarling mass of teeth and claws and potential anguish just. wasn't. intense enough…
Watch the epic new trailer and start counting down the days with your kids now: Jurassic Park in 3D will roar into theaters on April 5, 2013.

Microsoft's new Outlook.com is live, and all Hotmail accounts were instantly changed over to Outlook.com accounts. They're calling it "upgraded," saying that Outlook.com will deliver "a beautiful, fresh and intuitive experience." I'm not sure exactly what that means either. But below, you can check out the new design.
If you've used Outlook on your office or home computer, the design should look somewhat familiar.
The changeover will be seamless for Hotmail customers. Their e-mail address, password and contacts will stay the same.
Microsoft promises that the new program will make it easy to send multiple photos and videos in a single message The new address book allows you incorporate your social media accounts into the contacts list. There are options to add Facebook, Twiter, LinkedIn, flickr, Google and Sina Weibo accounts.

Former Canisius basketball players "Sugar" Ray Hall and Kara (Haun) Rehbaum have been selected to be a part of the MAAC Honor Roll Class of 2014-15. Hall and Rehbaum will be enshrined into the "MAAC Experience" exhibit at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., on Saturday, Nov. 1.
The all-time career scoring leader in Canisius basketball history, Hall tallied 2,226 career points in 115 career games as a Golden Griffin from 1981-85. A Buffalo, N.Y., native, Hall averaged 16.5 points per game or better for his entire career, highlighted by his 20.9 points per game scoring average in 1984-85, and his 628 total points that season in 30 games ranks third on the school's single season scoring list. During his time as a Griff, Hall helped the Blue and Gold to a combined record of 69-46 and in his senior season of 1984-85, the Griffs earned a berth into the NIT. Currently, Hall ranks among the top-10 in 10 different career statistical categories and in addition to being the program's all-time leading scorer, he is the school's career leader in career field goals made (812), career field goals attempted (1,646), career free-throws made (602) and career steals (219). A member of the Canisius Sports Hall of Fame, Hall was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. Drafted by the Utah Jazz in the fifth round of the 1985 NBA Draft, he played eight years of professional basketball after leaving Canisius with his degree in communications and sociology. He has also been voted to the All-Time Little Three Team and the Canisius College All-Century Team.
Kara (Haun) Rehbaum earned four varsity letters as a member of the Canisius women's basketball team from 1980-84. During her time as a student-athlete at Canisius, Rehbaum played a key role in helping the Golden Griffins post a 90-21 overall record during her four years, and she was a part of the 1982-83 team that went 28-5 overall and advanced to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight. The program's all-time career rebounding leader with 1,075 boards, Rehbaum was a three-time All-American and she ended her career with 1,661 career points. Those 1,661 career points stood as the program's all-time scoring record for 13 seasons, and she currently ranks third all-time in career scoring in the program's record book. Rehbaum went on to coach the Canisius women's program for five seasons from 1993-98 and she was named the MAAC Coach of the Year in 1994 after leading the Blue and Gold to an 18-9 overall mark and an 11-3 record in MAAC play. A member of the Canisius Sports Hall of Fame, she currently serves as the Assistant Athletic Director and SWA at Division III Hilbert College, located in Hamburg, N.Y.
Each member institution of the MAAC honors one male and one female from its basketball "family" as part of the 2014-15 induction class. A dinner event will be held Nov. 1, at the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame Court of Dreams to recognize the Honor Roll inductees.The MAAC Council of Presidents has named Barbara Church, Senior Associate Commissioner and Senior Woman Administrator of the MAAC, the 2014-15 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Honoree for her service and dedication to the MAAC, student-athletes and member institutions throughout her career in athletic administration. Each honoree will be profiled in the game program for the 2015 MAAC Basketball Championships, and will also be featured in a video display at "The MAAC Experience".

In our research on eBusiness and channel strategy, we often come across clusters of innovation where innovation by one company in a sector causes its competitors not only to match it, but to try to leapfrog it -- resulting in a rapid cycles of innovation. Among the examples of these clusters are insurance companies in the US (Progressive, Geico and a growing number of others) and banks in Spain (Bankinter, La Caixa, BBVA and Banco Sabadell).
Another of those clusters is the retail banking market in Turkey. Last week I was in Istanbul and was able to see some of the innovations in person and meet a number of heads of eBusiness at Turkey's big banks. Turkey's banks have been quick to adopt digital technologies and achieved some world firsts for the banking industry. Here are a few examples you might like:

Hello all,
I was wondering if I could pick your wonderful brains for any opinions on this company: graduates2china.com/index.html.
I've recently finished university here in the UK and saw this advertised on the university's careers site. I sent off my CV and cover letter and got a call quite quickly and have subsequently been accepted on to a school when I send over my documents and pay the admin fee. They can't assign me to a school untill I send the bits and bobs over.
I've tried to do some research on the company but can't find too much online. It sounds like a great opportunity, especially since I don't exactly have a teaching degree and all they require is a £125 admin fee but I'm getting the feeling it's all too good to be true. If any of you know or have been involved with this company and can share your own experiences, that be amazing.

i did one this evening that was about 10 feet off the ground. 5 open combs. it was kind of rushed but the lows are getting down there so i didn't want to wait. i did it on a ladder and just sawed the limb and carried it down. they're in the back of my truck now and i'll take them to the country in the morning. incredibly gentle bees, the only sting i got was when i mashed one. i sawed the limb with my face right next to the comb and they crawled around on my head but no aggression.
ray, i feel sure they're bees that absconded because of hive beetles and i always wonder if the lack of aggression is what lets the beetles take over. i'll move them to a nuc and baby them but that queen will be the first one out of the gene pool come spring. it's fun to do a cut out in a tee shirt with no veil but i'll take stings over beetles any day.

What do people think is the best place to teach and live in, in China, for my FIRST YEAR out as an EFL teacher?
I am attracted to Shanghai, but do not see so many jobs there and perhaps the cost of living would be too much. So I would quite like to be close by, I am looking in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but I am not sure, perhaps they are touristy?
I have also been offered a job in Wuxi, Wuhan and Shijiazhuang
I am 21 and a former art student. I think I would be more attracted to Shanghai, as I have the impression it is the "younger/more contemporary" city compared to Beijing. Am I talking rubbish?!
Any help would be appreciated!

Just finished testing the molds for my shin tools, I am very pleased with the results. My masters were made with the Paterson squeege and stir stick, all the pieces are built so that the correct portion of each tool is visible from the top of the pockets.
All tools are trimmed, sanded and primed in grey.
If I can get at least 6 people interested I am willing to sell these sets for:
UK = £23 inc shipping
Europe = £25.00 inc shipping
USA = $52 inc shipping
As a bonus, when you buy a set of tools I am willing to throw in a resin MQ-1 Circuit board for your helmet vents for £3.50 ($7.00) or an MQ-1 Calulator pad for your left gauntlet for £2.50 ($5.00), no extra postage cost. These are both sanded and primed in grey. Both of these are direct high definition casts from the MQ-1 Calculator.
Leave your name here and I'll start a list and discuss payment and delivery times once the new year is here.

text: Hi Everyone, Looking for ideas for an artistic program. I'm canadian, and looking to do my bronze artistic/interpretive. I'd like to do something either dramatic or comedic. I'm in my 30's, and would like something sophisticated, so cutesy's out. I don't have amazing lines (ie am not balletic), so i'd prefer something powerful or with a bit of acting. I know that I'd like to have a bollywood theme for my silver, and skate to schindler's list for my gold, but I'm out of ideas for the bronze. I feel like both tango and flamenco have been done to death, so I'd rather not. Any help? It can either be a theme or music suggestion. Thanks!

Snowy weather and excessively cold conditions have led school districts in Hardin, LaRue and Meade counties plus Elizabethtown and West Point to close today.
Early morning classes at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College are canceled today. ECTC will open at 10 a.m. today.
Fort Knox Community Schools are on a two-hour delay. Hart, Nelson, Breckinridge and Bullitt county schools also are closed today as well as Bardstown and Cloverport independent districts. Grayson County Schools are opening one hour later than normal.

The Importance of Cheating
I've been searching for a while for just the right scholarly study to demonstrate to you that too much deprivation in your diet will only lead to binge eating later. I can't find a good one. Then it dawned on me that I probably don't need to prove that to you since most of us are probably case studies of this very point. We can all attest to the fact that when we feel deprived of something, we go after … Continue reading

The Oltrarno—literally "across the Arno"—stands apart from Florence's busy central and eastern quarters. Traditionally a blue-collar district, it retains a peaceful and workaday atmosphere, full of artisans' studios, antiques stores, bars, and small restaurants. At the same time it features plenty of historic sights, not least the art-filled Palazzo Pitti and the church of San Miniato al Monte.
Start your walk at the (1) Ponte Vecchio, a picturesque bridge that dates from around 1345. Across the river, turn at the second right and follow Via di Santo Spirito and Borgo San Frediano to (2) Santa Maria del Carmine in Piazza del Carmine. The church is known for the Cappella Brancacci and Masaccio and Masolino's pioneering early Renaissance frescoes (begun 1424).
From the east side of the piazza in front of the church take Via Santa Monaca and Via Sant'Agostino to Piazza di San Felice and Piazza de' Pitti. The latter is home to the (3) Palazzo Pitti (www.palazzopitti.it), a vast former Medici palace that contains several galleries, including the standout Galleria Palatina.
Walk north out of the piazza on Via de' Guicciardini and visit the church of (4) Santa Felicita in Piazza di Santa Felicita. This is one of Florence's oldest churches, built on the site of a fourth-century basilica. Inside, it contains paintings dating to the 1500s by Jacopo Pontormo, known for his vivid use of color and unsettling compositions.
To the east and behind the church, take Costa di San Giorgio, a pretty lane that climbs steeply, with the former home of the scientist Galileo near the top at No. 19. Just beyond the house on the right at Via del Forte di San Giorgio is the entrance to the (5) Forte del Belvedere, a 16th-century fortress that formed part of the city's outer defenses.
Turn left on Via del Belvedere, which follows part of the old city walls and offers lovely views to the Tuscan hills. At the bottom of the hill turn right on Via del Monte alle Croci.
At this point, Jonathan Buckley, co-author, The Rough Guide to Florence & Siena, recommends stopping for a drink and a breather at the wine bar-osteria Fuori Porta (Via del Monte alle Croci 10R; tel. 39 055 234 2483. www.fuoriporta.it).
Then turn almost immediately left up the stepped Via di San Salvatore al Monte. At Viale Galileo Galilei, turn right and walk up the steps to the 11th-century church of (6) San Miniato al Monte.
San Miniato is one of Tuscany's finest Romanesque buildings. Highlights in the interior include the pulpit, screen, apse mosaic (from 1297), and the beautifully decorated Cappella del Cardinale del Portogallo.
You can catch a bus back to the city center from Viale Galileo Galilei or walk to (7) Piazzale Michelangelo just north of San Miniato. Enjoy the sweeping city views from the piazzale; then follow the path off its left (west) side down to Porta San Niccolò. Turn left here on Via di San Niccolò to the (8) Museo Bardini in Piazza de' Mozzi, an unsung but enticing and eclectic collection of art and artifacts.

The screw which holds the cylinder arbor seems to have a projecting, thumb-screw head. Am I correct?
Is that appropriate to the frame, or is it a modern-design addition?
Does the frame style limit you to black-powder-pressure loads, or will it withstand modern, more-powerful ammunition?
(It looks almost new! Lucky you!)

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I agree, train the dog to walk on a loose leash. But, here's a tip. Tire him out first, than do a LITTLE bit of training. Throw that ball in the back yard for an hour if necessary, when the dog is panting (and you are not), then take the dog, put the leash on him and start training him to walk properly on lead.
When we teach STAY, we have the dog stay, say STAY, give a hand signal, and then we move right in front of the dog. And then we say STAY again and move back, praise and treat. We do this for a few days, and then we take an extra step or two away, and go right back. Eventually, we increase the time and the distance with the dog. Eventually we will be able to say STAY in a sit or down or standing position, next to other dogs, and then leave the room and go out of sight. But we don't do that on the first day -- obviously.
Why do we do that when we teach a dog to walk on a lead. We hook the lead to the collar and then expect the dog to go all the way around the block at our heel. That's nuts.
Instead, teach your dog the PLACE position, use a treat. Get him next to your side, Good give him a piece of that cheese. Good enough. After he knows he is going to get something awesome for finding the left side and sitting, then you walk three steps with that cheese in your hand, and treat him for staying in position.
Rome wasn't conquered in a day. Don't try to do it all at once. I do not expect perfect heel position on walks, except when we cross streets -- that is with trained dogs. But, when a dog tries to pull me, I dig my heels in or change directions. They don't have to be in heel position, but they need to leave the leash loose enough so that I am not being dragged. Because I won't have it. I determine where we are going, and if I have to turn around seven billion times, fine.
Rally Obedience is a great way to teach a new dog to heel. It starts out with a bunch of signs. Signs which change your direction or have you do a command. It is not boring walking at a slow human pace for half an hour. It is Walk five steps. Sit. Walk three steps spiral around these three cones. Walk seven steps, do a 270 turn. Walk 3 steps, sit Down Sit. walk five steps, Come Front, Sit, back one step. Sit, Back two steps, Sit, Back three steps, Sit, Finish, walk 8 steps and turn Right. Walk seven steps Come front, Finish around you, forward, Walk 5 steps and drop. walk three steps turn around in a circle. Walk four steps, 270 to the left, walk four steps, fast pace for 7 steps, than normal.
And so forth. The dog gets used to watching for what you are going to do next, and in training there is a lot of treats, and praise.
The way most people try to train heel or loose leash walking is akin to putting a dog next to a group of other dogs, saying STAY and then leaving the room for 5 minutes. And we wonder why too many people have trouble with it.

This is something we have tried and it is working rally well so far. Take something that your dog has a lot of drive for, in our case it is a ball. we got a ball on a rope and would drape it over my right shoulder while he is sitting at my left hand side. If, like you said he is not jumping up a lot anymore and he knows that to get what he wants he has to get it through you then he should just stare straight at you/the ball. Do a couple sessions on rewarding him for being in this position (several times a day, for about five days). If need be keep a short lead on him to prevent slip ups for the first few sessions. Then slowly start taking a few steps and gradually ease it to very short walks with frequent rewards and a light hand on corrections.
Do a fair amount of research on proper use of prong collars and determine if it is right for your dog or not.With a gentle hand it has improved our walks a lot and allowed us to better communicate with our boy. By no means am I a proven reference, just sharing what has worked for us.

Never used a clicker myself but to the OP try that or hire a trainer (that's not a yank and crank guy) A prong collar is a tool that is easy to abuse!
I used one on my first dog and out of my three the one that I used the prong collar on was the only one that never walked a loose leash worth a crap! No leash fine but not a loose leash.
Here's another option,
You could scan around You tube yourself fine something you like and come here for a second opinion.
It sounds like, for the most part, you are correcting him for not doing a behavior that he doesn't even know. You can't do that. That causes a lot of other problems.
Start by teaching him what you DO want...
Advice needed 8 month male dominant pup

I too own a PLR-16 and I agree with your assessment, Although at the range it provides good performance at 100 yds using the shoulder belt to steady the Pistol.
And the PLR is a good gun to use varmint hunting where you need a weapon thats easy to carry and lightweight.
I also use mine for scaring the Hell out of people, LOL
It is an awesome weapon and I am Happy I got it way before the Election.
AS to the .223, I shot a boat load of them in Nam and I don't have a problem with it's performance AT ALL, I also own an AK-47 and enjoy shooting it TOO!

Vote here for your Greatest goal at Highbury
The lives of Arsenal fans are punctuated by memories of a bulging net at Highbury and, provided the home team has scored, the roar that follows. Now, as we prepare to leave our famous old home after 93 years, we want you to choose the greatest ever Highbury goal.
We have listed 10 of the finest strikes seen at Highbury. All you have to do is look over your options. Choose your selection from the drop-down menu, fill in any other details as appropriate and, when you are ready, click 'submit this form' at the bottom of the page.
Thierry Henry v Liverpool, April 9, 2004
The problem: Arsenal had tumbled out of the FA Cup and Champions League in the space of three days, and now their title credentials were being stretched to the limit by Liverpool, who had led twice at Highbury. The solution: Thierry Henry collects the ball just inside the visitors' half and slaloms past three challenges before slipping the ball under Jerzy Dudek to put Arsenal ahead for the first time. The Gunners never look back and complete an unbeaten Premiership season.
Thierry Henry v Manchester United, October 1,
At the time Arsenal and United were THE big rivals in the Premiership, and it took something special to separate them. Well, this was something special. When Thierry Henry received the ball 25 yards out with his back to goal and Gary Neville in close attention, United looked in no danger. An instant later, Henry flicked the ball up, span and fired a dipping volley over Fabien Barthez and into the top corner.
Dennis Bergkamp v Bolton Wanderers, May 5, 1996
With six minutes remaining on the final day of the campaign, Arsenal need a goal to clinch a place in the UEFA Cup. Step forward Dennis Bergkamp. The Dutch master drops deep to collect a pass from David Platt, turns, advances to the edge of the box and unleashes an unstoppable shot into the top corner. A perfect way to cap your debut season in English football and a sign of things to come.
Anders Limpar v Liverpool, April 20, 1992
Pele tried it and failed. Anders Limpar tried it and succeeded. Picking up possession on the halfway line, the nimble Swede looked around for support from his team-mates but found nothing on offer. Limpar looked up, spotted the keeper off his line and executed a powerful but perfectly-placed lob over his head and into the net in front of a stunned North Bank. David Beckham did it a few years later, but Anders did it first.
Paul Davis v Charlton, March 21, 1989
Charlton were piling on the pressure in front of the North Bank when Arsenal hit them with a quickfire counter-attack. Paul Davis started it off with a pass out of defence and the ball was worked to the right flank where Lee Dixon made ground. Davis, unchecked, continued his run through the centre and stormed into the Charlton box to meet Dixon's perfect cross with a superb diving header.
Nigel Winterburn v Wimbledon, May 17, 1989
It was a nervous night at Highbury as Arsenal chased vital points in the title race. Nigel Winterburn was no stranger to scoring goals but even his biggest fans could not predict what would happen when he cut inside from the left. Winterburn's right foot was - by his own admission - not the best, but he tried his luck with it from 25 yards and lashed a venomous shot into the top corner to give Arsenal the lead.
George Johnston v Leeds United, May 7, 1968
McLintock, Graham, Storey, Sammels and Wilson were all on the teamsheet as the Double side began to take shape, but this game was lit up by George Johnston's magnificent solo effort. With the scores level at 3-3, Johnston picked the ball up in the inside-left position and swayed past one Leeds player. He dropped a shoulder and cut inside two more defenders to his left before drawing the keeper and slipping the ball under him. It was a goal worthy of winning any game.
David Herd v Manchester City, January 14, 1961
City had Arsenal on the back foot but a rapid breakaway ended in a classic goal by David Herd. The Gunners' centre forward latched onto a pass through the middle and advanced before hammering in a shot which whistled past the great Bert Trautmann but crashed back off the bar. Herd responded instantly, diving full length to head the rebound past the City keeper and into the Clock End net.
Alex Forbes v Burnley, May 1, 1953
Alex Forbes hit a spectacular 25-yarder to pull Arsenal level in the 1953 title decider against Burnley at Highbury. The home side needed to win to overhaul Preston but were stunned when captain Joe Mercer put through his own net. Forbes' long-range effort was crucial. Arsenal went on to win 3-2 and take the title by 0.1 of a goal on goal average in the final match of the season.
Doug Lishman v Bolton Wanderers, November 24,
Doug Lishman's third goal against Bolton in November 1951 was significant more than beautiful. The striker, recently back from a broken leg, had scored trebles in his last two home games - against West Brom and Fulham. His hat-trick of hat-tricks in successive home games remains a unqiue feat in the modern game. However Thierry Henry did get two in two home games in season 2003/04.

GM went with a darker tint on their glass and windshields that lean back hide glare more . Im honestly not shure what color your talking about but if its bright , the white will only make it worse . There is no law saying you cant do graphics on a dash , we did black , dark blue , dripping over the dash and onto the console like some one poured paint over the dash . it looked cool . :p
|I drive a work van and I allways throw my papers on the dash, usually the papers are white and on a sunny day I have to take all the papers off of the dash. Try putting white papers on the dash of your vehicle that you drive and see what happens

|I would not believe that because in the early 80's Cadillac had white dashes on Eldorado's for years.
|I had a 67 rs camaro painted corvette yellow with the dashboard in yellow. I am not for sure about white but the yellow was very glaring on a sunny day---but with sunglasses on not that bad to drive.

interior color
I am in the process of a building a custom Opel GT for street and show. I would like to put in a white interior to offset the shiftshade paint--I have had several people tell me not to put in a white dash because it would be too hard to drive because of sun glare. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!

Why Won't My Battery Work?
If your electronic cigarette isn't working, there is probably a good explanation, and a simple solution. Although it can be quite frustrating when you receive a battery and it doesn't work, or if you go to use your e-cigarette that you just used the day before and it won't run, there are some things that

As a result of the industrial action on London Underground on Monday 26th December, our home Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, originally planned for Boxing Day, has been postponed.
Arsenal v Wolverhampton Wanderers will now take place 24 hours later on Tuesday 27th December, a public holiday, kick-off 3pm at Emirates Stadium.
The decision was actually made before the result of the legal challenge to the proposed industrial action was known, due to the preparation period needed to safely operate Emirates Stadium by all the relevant agencies, but we now know that the right decision was made.
The Club liaised closely with all the relevant agencies, including the Metropolitan Police, Transport for London, London Underground, The Premier League, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and Islington Council to make the decision.
The paramount concern was always the duty of care towards the Arsenal supporters, Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters, Matchday employees and workers and indeed everyone who was planning to attend the match on Boxing Day.
In addition to the industrial action on London Underground on Boxing Day, there are no services operating on overground train services into London on this day. Also, normal parking restrictions close to the stadium still apply. This would have caused severe disruption, or at worst, inability for supporters or Matchday staff and workers to get to Emirates Stadium.
We apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused supporters but we feel that the right decision was made based on a duty of care.
All tickets purchased for this match are still valid for Tuesday 27th December.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

Practice won't let up for Utah State football at least not early this week.
Though some of the Aggies' assistant coaches will be winding down and taking a break for the bye, the players still will be getting ready for the team's toughest challenge in the WAC this year.
Louisiana Tech will be no joke, USU coach Gary Andersen said Monday, and it will be a challenge for Utah State to prepare.
"Louisiana Tech is one of the best in the country at getting on the ball and playing with pace and speed and quickness," he said. "There's a lot of preparation that goes into getting a scout team to go in and get as good a look as you can. … We're going to use every moment we can possibly get."
Andersen said it would be tough for a scout team to duplicate the offense of Louisiana Tech, ranked No. 19 in the AP poll with the second-best scoring average in the nation. The coaching staff will start seriously game-planning Sunday after the Bulldogs play Texas State this week.
"[We want to] get a jump start on the opponent, but yet comeback on Monday mentally and physically with a head start," Andersen said. "When we walk into this game, our kids won't have a problem, obviously, being excited with what's on the line."
Williams makeshis mark
Senior running back Kerwynn Williams passed a big milestone Saturday by topping 1,000 yards rushing for the season, the third Utah State back to accomplish the feat in Andersen's four seasons.
The Aggies had several straight seasons without a 1,000-yard back before Andersen's tenure. With Williams carrying on the tradition, his coach speculated that the senior had made his mark on the program and stepped out of teammate Robert Turbin's shadow.
"He means the world to this program on and off the field," Andersen said. "I believe that now you look at Kerwynn, and now he has his own spot. It's the year that the team was 8-2 and Kerwynn got 1,000 yards."
With two backs in the NFL and potentially a third in Williams, Utah State is making a name for itself as a program that produces great rushers, Andersen said.
Fan support
One hot topic Monday was fan attendance at Romney Stadium.
For the second straight game, the announced turnout hovered just above 17,000, leaving a few thousand empty seats for Utah State's win over Texas State. Andersen stayed relatively neutral on the topic, saying he hoped his 8-2 Aggies would continue to give fans a reason to come out.
"We need to put a product out there that they can be proud of," he said. "I know that there are a lot of Aggie fans that are very proud of these kids, and we appreciate the support. It will continue to grow."
Still, Andersen noted, it's nice for athletes to have a packed house to play in. It also plays a role in recruiting: Big crowds are a good environments for top prospects.

West Springfield, Mass. – The Canisius College hockey team won its fourth-straight road game on Friday night, earning a 4-1 victory at AIC. With the win, Canisius improves to 10-13-2 and 9-7-2 in Atlantic Hockey play, while the Yellow Jackets drop to 6-18-1 and 5-12-1 against league foes.
Junior Cody Freeman led the Griffs with two goals on the night, while classmates Mitch McCrank and Braeden Rigney both added a tally.
Senior Tony Capobianco recorded 23 saves to earn the win in net.
The teams battled for a scoreless first 36-plus minutes before Freeman broke the game open with two goals just 97 seconds apart. The junior forward opened the scoring with 3:28 remaining in the second when he knocked in a rebound off a shot from junior defender Logan Roe. Senior Kyle Gibbons also registered an assist on Freeman's fourth goal of the season.
It took only 97 seconds for Freeman to give the Griffs a two-goal cushion. While on the power play, Gibbons had his shot deflected and fall right to Freeman in the slot. The junior then swatted the puck in for his fifth tally of the year. Senior defender Ben Danford also added an assist on the goal.
Canisius then quickly extended its lead in the third frame when McCrank scored on the power play 1:57 into the period. From behind the net, sophomore Ralph Cuddemi found freshman Shane Conacher on the opposite side. Conacher then passed back to McCrank in the slot and the junior finished with an open look for his second tally of the season
Rigney added to the Griffs advantage with his fifth goal of the season, scoring with 3:02 remaining. The junior skated down the ice and ripped a shot into the back of the net for the 4-0 lead. Freshman Josh Kielich and junior Doug Jessey both recorded an assist on the goal.
AIC finally got on the board with 51.9 seconds remaining when Mike Dietrich scored but it was too little, too late as the Griffs earned the 4-1 victory.
Canisius finished the game with a 34-24 advantage in shots, while going 2-for-4 on the power play. The Griffs also killed all four Yellow Jacket extra-man chances.
Hunter Leisner recorded 30 saves in defeat for AIC.
The schools wrap up the two-game series tomorrow afternoon with game time slated for 3:05 p.m.
Game Notes: Canisius' four-game road winning streak is the team's longest since the 2000-01 season and one shy of the school record … With his two assists, Gibbons moved past Chris Duggan into fifth place in the school's history with 116 career points. Duggan recorded 115 points from 1998 to 2002 … The assist for Kielich was the first point of his collegiate career … Canisius is unbeaten in its last 15 games against AIC (13-0-2) … The Griffs are a perfect 5-0-0 this season when outshooting their opponent.

Hey all,
I've got BT5 (GNOME)installed on my VM at the moment for several testings to make certain wether i'll make it my Prime OS or not and i'm having some issues that i'm not sure where to turn to with.
for the record - i've looked in ubuntu forums and google for answers but none helped so i'm hoping here will find salvation.
issue 1:
Tried installing Compiz fusion, emerald and the rest of them packages. download completed successfully & seems to be installed fine but i can't run any of the features.
Is it caused by the fact this is on VM? or there's a known issue with BT5 and compiz fusion?
Issue 2:
I've got issues with connecting my Atheros 4321(TPlink dongle) card with WPA2 PASSPHRASEs longer than 8 "letters"(forgive my poor english). i've read somewhere that it's a known issue between this chipset and WPA2 , but i thought i'll check here first: anyone knows about it? maybe there's a solution for it?(other than shortening the passphrase).
Issue 3:
I keep failing on installing VirtualBox 4.0(or any other version for the record). I've looked the errors up in google and ubuntu forums and found help but none actually worked.
Anyone had issues with Virtualbox installation on BT5 Gnome? or on a VM?

Right-Wing Media Attack Geithner For Staving Off Economic Disaster
Research ››› ››› ANDY NEWBOLD
Right-wing media have attacked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner for using federal workers' pension funds to ensure that the government meets its obligations for the short-term while lawmakers and the White House try to reach a deal on raising the debt ceiling. In fact, Geithner's actions are in line with those of the Treasury Department under former Presidents Bush and Clinton, the government is legally required to reimburse the program once the debt limit is increased, and economic disaster could have occurred had Geithner not taken these measures.
Right-Wing Media Attack Geithner For Supposedly "Steal[ing] Money From Pension Funds"
Carlson: Geithner Is "Going To Steal Money From The Pension Funds Of Federal Workers." During the May 17 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Gretchen Carlson claimed that Geithner is "going to steal money from the pension funds of federal workers." From Fox & Friends:
GRETCHEN CARLSON (co-host): Remember, yesterday we officially met that limit, but because the government has a way of fudging the numbers for us -- you gotta wonder how they can fudge so easily right? -- now we've got until August 2nd. And what they're doing is they are actually going to steal money from the pension funds of federal workers to pay off the next couple of months, so that Congress can continue to try and figure out what the hell to do.
BRIAN KILMEADE (co-host): Taking a page from Wall Street. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 5/17/11]
Fox Nation: "Turbo Tim Raids Pension Plans." In a May 16 Fox Nation post, a headline read, "Turbo Tim Raids Pension Plans":
[Fox Nation, 5/16/11]
Napolitano: "To Fund The Government They Are Raiding The Pension Funds Of Federal Employees." From the May 16 edition of Fox Business' Freedom Watch With Judge Napolitano:
NAPOLITANO: What did you think of the announcement that Secretary Geithner made today? We did reach the debt ceiling, the sky didn't fall -- he didn't say that part -- I added that part. But he said in order to fund the government they are raiding the pension funds of federal employees. That would be you as well as the many, many other hundreds of thousands of federal employees. The money is put there in trust for you and the government's now raiding it.
He doesn't literally raid the pension funds, he just declines to make contributions to them, so he takes money that comes in from the taxpayers which was dedicated to those pension funds and instead of sending them there he either pays the debt service or he sends a check to the Pentagon or he funds the other parts of the government. So at one point he's doing what you are I would go to jail if we did, if we owned a company and raided the pension funds we'd go to jail. On the other hand he does demonstrate your point that he doesn't have to go out into the financial markets in order to keep the lights and the heat on. [Fox Business, Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano, 5/16/11]
Ace Of Spades: "America Hits Debt Ceiling; Treasury Raids Federal Pensions Funds." A May 16 post on the conservative blog Ace of Spades claimed that "[i]t's so liberal" of Geithner and other Democrats to "raid the pension funds." The post further claimed that Democrats plan to "[j]ust keep borrowing and spending and taking money from one federal account to spend it for other purposes." From the post titled, "America Hits Debt Ceiling; Treasury Raids Federal Pensions Funds":
Hoh boy. We should have seen this coming. I didn't. I didn't read anyone predicting it.
The best solution, for conservatives and America, is to just spend less, of course.
But Democrats will never, ever do that.
So the first thing they do is raid the pension funds, because that's not current spending, and they figure that will be replaced.
Should have seen it coming. It's so liberal. Just keep borrowing and spending and taking money from one federal account to spend it for other purposes. [Ace Of Spades, 5/16/11]
RedState: "Obama And Geithner Will Start Raiding Pension Funds Of Federal Retirees." From a May 16 RedState post:
Rather than find somewhere to cut spending, Obama and Geithner will start raiding pension funds of federal retirees. No doubt they feel that this will cause the seniors and unions to start pressuring the GOP to cave on allowing increased borrowing from China to replace increased borrowing domestically.
Sure, for this and the Social Security IOUs the government can just print enough money to cover the debt. The money might only be worth 25 cents on the dollar to what it was the day before, but hey that's just a technicality.
Funny, it seems like Obama's going away party for Osama is being used as an excuse that Obama should be given anything he wants, including a "clean" debt ceiling vote. So he can tie OBL to it, but the GOP shouldn't tie anything like oh let's say cutting spending to it.
I hope a significant percentage of average Americans can see through this nonsense. [RedState, 5/16/11, emphasis original]
Jim Hoft: "Obama Administration Raids Pension Plans To Pay Off Debt." In a May 16 post on his Gateway Pundit blog titled, "Obama Administration Raids Pension Plans to Pay Off Debt," Jim Hoft attacked Obama and Democrats for "add[ing] over One Trillion Dollars to the Federal Budget in the last 4 years," which, he explained, is "at least a 30% increase in federal spending in just 3 years." Hoft further wrote that the "Obama Administration will raid federal retiree programs to help pay for government programs." [Gateway Pundit, 5/16/11]
Newsmax: Geithner's "Moves Could Instead Be Seen As The First Step Toward ... Outright Seizure Of Private Savings In Tax-Favored Retirement Plans." In a May 21 Newsmax article headlined, "Watch Out! Feds Could Seize Your Private Retirement Savings," Greg Brown wrote:
How long before Uncle Sam hits private pensions to balance the public budget? It's quickly becoming a reasonable question to ask.
As Congress squares off over a debt ceiling vote, Treasury is scrambling to find cash in the couch cushions. One of the ways it will scare up extra money is by putting off saving for the retirements of federal workers -- in effect, short-term "borrowing" from public pension funds.
By suspending investments into the civil service retirement and disability fund, as well as putting off reinvestments into another big retirement bucket known as the G-Fund, Treasury could "claw back" up to $202 billion, estimates Reuters. That sounds like a lot, but it's just 10 percent of the $2 trillion the agency says it needs to stay afloat until after Election Day 2012, and it will have to be put back.
Holding off public pension payments could be cast as prudent short-term scrambling to avoid a serious problem with U.S. Treasury holders. Taken another way, such moves could instead be seen as the first step toward an eventual tax or outright seizure of private savings in tax-favored retirement plans. [Newsmax, 5/21/11]
- Fox Nation: "Watch Out! Feds Could Seize Your Private Retirement Savings." On May 23, Fox Nation featured the headline, "Watch Out! Feds Could Seize Your Private Retirement Savings," and linked to Brown's Newsmax article with the same headline. From the Fox Nation:

In Fact, Treasury Department Used Pension Funds To Meet Obligations And Avoid Default Under Bush, Clinton
U.S. Treasury Department Has Suspended Government Employee Pension Funds During Previous Debt Limit Impasses. From a May 16 blog post by the U.S. Treasury Department addressing many of the frequently asked questions about the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF) and the Government Securities Investment Fund (G-Fund) in regards to the debt limit crisis:
Question: Has Treasury ever redeemed existing investments and suspended new investments in the CSRDF before?
Answer: Yes, in the past 20 years, Treasury used these extraordinary measures during previous debt limit impasses in 1996, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006.
Question: Has Treasury ever suspended reinvestment of all or part of the G Fund before?
Answer: Yes, in the past 20 years, Treasury used this extraordinary measure during previous debt limit impasses in 1996, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006. [U.S. Treasury Department, 5/16/11]
Bush Treasury Secretary Used Government Pension Fund To Keep From Hitting $8 Trillion Debt Limit And To Ensure Government Met Obligations. The Associated Press reported:
The Bush administration told Congress on Thursday it had begun to use a government pension fund to keep from hitting the $8 trillion debt limit.
Treasury Secretary John Snow warned in a letter to congressional leaders that he would run out of room to make such maneuvers in about four weeks, meaning the government would lose the ability to meet its obligations unless Congress had raised the borrowing limit by then.
In his letter, Snow said Treasury would begin taking investments out of a $65.3 billion government employee pension fund called the G-fund.
By withdrawing investments, Treasury is making room on the government's books for increased borrowing.
Snow said he is utilizing a maneuver that has been employed by other Treasury secretaries during times when the government's borrowing levels were approaching the debt limit. Without the action, the debt limit would have been reached on Thursday, said Treasury spokeswoman Brookly McLaughlin.
Snow said once the debt limit was raised, he would make the employee pension fund whole, putting back the investments that had been withdrawn and making up any lost interest payments. The fund's formal title is the Government Securities Investment Fund of the Federal Employees Retirement System. [Associated Press, 2/16/06, via Nexis]
Clinton Treasury Secretary "Dip[ped] Into Two Trust Funds For Civil Service Employee Pensions" To Avoid Default. The Los Angeles Times reported:
Wednesday was a big day in the credit markets. Mid-November is when interest payments are made on many Treasury securities, and the government owed $25 billion in interest on Treasury bills, notes and bonds.
The trouble was that the government didn't have the $25 billion. And it couldn't borrow it. Congress had limited government debt to $4.9 trillion, and the government reached that limit Wednesday. President Clinton last week vetoed a bill to raise the debt ceiling because he objected to other provisions of the bill.
So Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin resorted to his authority under a 10-year-old law to dip into two trust funds for civil service employee pensions.
"This is no way for a great nation to manage its financial affairs," Rubin admitted. But the alternative, he said, was unthinkable: Default.
Sooner or later, the government will have to make good on its $29 billion worth of IOUs to the pension funds. According to law, it will have to pay the funds back with interest. (If Treasury had simply been able to borrow the $29 billion the usual way, it would also have had to pay interest, and so the maneuver executed by Rubin on Wednesday imposed no substantial new cost on the government.) [Los Angeles Times, 11/16/95]
Treasury Is Legally Required To Reimburse The Program Once Debt Limit Is Increased
Geithner: "By Law [Pension] Funds Will Be Made Whole Once The Debt Limit Is Increased." From a letter from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to Congress detailing the "extraordinary measures" taken by the Treasury to continue funding government obligations while the White House and lawmakers attempt to reach a deal for raising the debt limit:
I am writing to notify you, as required under 5 U.S.C. § 8348(l)(2), of my determination that, by reason of the statutory debt limit, I will be unable to invest fully the portion of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund ("CSRDF") not immediately required to pay beneficiaries. For purposes of this statute, I have determined that a "debt issuance suspension period" will begin today, May 16, 2011, and last until August 2, 2011, when the Department of the Treasury projects that the borrowing authority of the United States will be exhausted. During this "debt issuance suspension period," the Treasury Department will suspend additional investments of amounts credited to, and redeem a portion of the investments held by, the CSRDF, as authorized by law.
In addition, I am notifying you, as required under 5 U.S.C. § 8438(h)(2), of my determination that, by reason of the statutory debt limit, I will be unable to invest fully the Government Securities Investment Fund ("G Fund") of the Federal Employees' Retirement System in interest-bearing securities of the United States, beginning today, May 16, 2011. The statute governing G Fund investments expressly authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to suspend investment of the G Fund to avoid breaching the statutory debt limit.
Each of these actions has been taken in the past by my predecessors during previous debt limit impasses. By law, the CSRDF and G Funds will be made whole once the debt limit is increased. Federal retirees and employees will be unaffected by these actions. [U.S. Treasury Department, 5/16/11]
Former Bush Administration Assistant Treasury Secretary: "No Retiree Will Lose A Penny" Using The Treasury's "Lawful Tools To Free Up Borrowing Capacity." From an April 28 Wall Street Journal op-ed by Emil Henry, former assistant secretary of the Treasury under Bush, describing the various "myths and facts" emerging during the current debate over the debt ceiling:
The Treasury will raid pension funds to avoid exceeding the debt ceiling. When the ceiling is reached but not exceeded, the Treasury has lawful tools to free up borrowing capacity and prolong the time until the ceiling's technical breaching. The Treasury correctly calls the tools "extraordinary" since they are out of the ordinary course of business, but in reality they are neither extreme nor dangerous.
Still, if Treasury deploys these tools, expect Democrats to claim that Republican intransigence is forcing the administration to take drastic measures. Such demagoguery can yield political fruit because Treasury's tools include postponing transfers of U.S. Treasurys that would otherwise go to pension funds such as the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund.
But Treasury would be required to restore these funds upon any budget agreement: No retiree will lose a penny by virtue of the Treasury's technical use of its time-tested tools. [The Wall Street Journal, 4/28/11]
Economic Catastrophe Could Have Occurred Had Geithner Not Taken These Measures
Geithner Took Measures To "Avoid Catastrophic Economic Consequences For Citizens." From Geithner's May 16 letter to Congress:
Each of these actions has been taken in the past by my predecessors during previous debt limit impasses. By law, the CSRDF and G Funds will be made whole once the debt limit is increased. Federal retirees and employees will be unaffected by these actions.
I have written to Congress on previous occasions regarding the importance of timely action to increase the debt limit in order to protect the full faith and credit of the United States and avoid catastrophic economic consequences for citizens. I again urge Congress to act to increase the statutory debt limit as soon as possible. [U.S. Treasury Department, 5/16/11]
- In its May 16 article on Geithner's decision to suspend payments to federal pension funds, FoxNews.com reported that Geithner, in his letter to Congressional leaders, explained that he took those measures to "avoid catastrophic economic consequences." [FoxNews.com, 5/16/11]
CNNMoney: Default Is "A Nightmare Event That Would ... In All Likelihood, Precipitate Another Global Financial Meltdown." From CNNMoney.com:
The feds are on track to reach their $14.29 trillion borrowing limit in mid-May, and the Obama administration says juggling accounts can only buy time until July 8. After that date, the government will default on its debt -- a nightmare event that would gut investor confidence in U.S. bonds, send our borrowing costs soaring, and in all likelihood, precipitate another global financial meltdown.
For months, the White House has been working behind the scenes to avert that outcome by lobbying for a simple, so-called "clean" hike of the debt ceiling. But Congressional Republicans are intent on demanding that any raise come with at least some of their deficit-cutting priorities. With market watchers nervously tracking the face-off as the clock winds down, it's worth taking a look back at the last time a political fight nearly ended in default. [CNNMoney.com, 4/25/11]
Former Treasury Official: Default "Would Make the Lehman Brothers Bankruptcy Look Like A Walk In A Park On A Sunny Day." From The Huffington Post:
If Congress doesn't raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit by mid-May, the U.S. government will have to resort to emergency measures to avoid default. One missed payment, which could happen as soon as July if the ceiling is not raised, would likely set off a widespread global panic, causing borrowing costs to skyrocket and severely crippling the nation's economy.
But Republican lawmakers have said they will use the debt limit as a means of enforcing fiscal austerity, insisting they won't raise it without winning concessions from Democrats.
Meanwhile, Jim Millstein, the former restructuring officer at Treasury, who helped reorganize AIG, outlined how disastrous the consequences of default would likely be. Speaking on CNBC on Tuesday, he said that a Treasury default would affect investors of all sorts, and he criticized those who downplay the consequences.
"This would make the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy look like a walk in a park on a sunny day," he told CNBC's David Faber. "They're really playing with fire." [Huffington Post, 4/13/11]
