Update: Puck has been reunited with his owner.
Earlier: Kevin says he found a very sweet, and hungry, brown and white cat with blue eyes at his door at NW 72nd Street and Sycamore Avenue last Wednesday.
The cat is chipped, but the phone number on the chip is no longer associated with the owners.
The chip says the cat's name is Puck, he's 12 years old, and he was registered in 2004 in Portland. When he showed up crying at our door last week, he was really skinny and hungry. He's a very sweet guy and seems to be an indoor cat.
If you are or know the owner, please email us at email@example.com and we'll put you in touch with Kevin.

Gigi, an 8-year-old female black cat, has been missing from North 94th Street and Fremont Avenue since Oct. 30. She is mainly an indoor cat but was an outdoor cat before coming to her current home and is comfortable being outside.
The family has set up a cat trap, wildlife camera and has been leaving food out. They've also searched houses, garages and backyards in a 1-2 block radius in each direction.
If anyone sees Gigi, please call Jeremy at 503-319-2827 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ed tells us he's seen a gray and white cat with no collar or tags hanging around near Greenwood Park, at North 88th Street and Fremont Avenue. He's wondering if the cat is lost or just likes to roam.
I just spent 30+ minutes tonight (Tuesday) around 9.30pm, giving him a bit of chicken, water, and a good petting that he nuzzled out of me before he took off after something (mouse/rat?) and never returned. There was no collar nor tags and I haven't seen it around before, but he was more or less healthy. [at least it looked like a "he" at quick glance] I apologize for the blurry photos. He wouldn't stand still long enough for me to snap a good one. He's a medium grey color with black speckles / stripes, a black tipped tail, and white under belly & paws. Yellow eyes, and was rather vocal once I got my phone-camera just before he ran off into the night. He seemed a bit skittish to any sudden movements or noises, but was more or less willing to approach me and not the other way around, which leads me to believe he comes from someone's home and not a stray.

Update: Marcy tells us she received numerous possible sightings from PhinneyWood readers, but unfortunately, found out today that Skookum had died, most likely from being hit by a car.
Earlier: Skookum, a black, short-tailed cat with green eyes, has been missing since Thursday from the 100 block of North 82nd Street in Greenwood.
He has never wandered past our block, so he could be lost if even only a few blocks away. He likes to crawl into very small spaces and under bushes – please search your homes, garages and yards. It is common for a hurt or scared cat to hide.
Any news, call 206-390-5769.
Update: Miss Effie is now home safe and sound.
Earlier: Ann says her cat, Miss Effie, disappeared from near Sandel Park at 2nd Avenue NW and North 90th Street early Sunday morning. She has a blue collar and is microchipped.
She received a call this morning from a jogger who said they saw a couple in a black Honda pick up the cat. If you are that couple or have any information, please call Ann at 206-371-5814.

There are over 34 million Americans who live with hearing loss. Only 1 out of 5 people who could benefit from the use of hearing aids use them. Families, co-workers, employers, and others that people with hearing loss encounter every day are also impacted to varying degrees. The scope of the problem is growing as Baby Boomers age, and as younger people increasingly use mobile devices and listen to music and video through ear buds. Living With Hearing Loss is presented through a partnership between NET Television and the Nebraska Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Through story segments and studio panels discussions, viewers will learn about: various types of hearing loss and deafness; coping strategies for people with hearing loss and their families; and the growing array of technology and assistive devices that are helping to erase the stigma and lower barriers associated with Living With Hearing Loss.

"This town ain't big enough for two homicidal maniacs",
This review is from: Batman - The Long Halloween (New Edition) (Paperback)
A serial killer who dispatches with his victims on notable dates of the calendar gets nicknamed "Holiday" by the media, but he's killing Falcone's gangsters - the organised crime group who hold Gotham to ransom - he may be inadvertently cleaning up the city but he's still breaking the law. The trinity guardianship of James Gordon, Harvey Dent and the Batman make a pact to find Holiday, but it takes longer than expected and there are twists along the way.
The almost cinematic, noir look is striking straight away, the visual quality of this graphic novel give it a unique and mature feel. The gangster 'baddies' are sometimes grotesquely drawn and it reflects their influence on the city, overall the artwork is of a consistently high quality with some black and white pages accented by a single colour feature - it's effective and looks quite beautiful. It's not just the artistic qualities which give this a level of maturity, the pathos between Gordon, Dent and Batman has a real gravitas to it. Each respect and trust each other (though with a healthy amount of reserved suspicion). Their relationship underpins the entire story and neither is ignored or under-developed. The domesticity of Gordon and Dent's lives are shown as we see them juggling their jobs with home life, their wives too play an important part in fleshing out the strains that their work (and obsession) has on their own families. This is easily one of the most the most developed incarnations of Batman I've seen, he has an emotional depth and an anger unlike any other Bats. We see a grown Bruce Wayne cry at his sense of guilt over his parent's death, he feels directly responsible and instead of going out on a costumed jolly he is genuinely haunted by the evil in the city. Some of the older comics (and definitely the TV series) depicted Batman as camp, but he's certainly not in The Long Halloween - this is a stubbly, gruff Batman who looks aggressive, a perfect vigilante.
Joseph Loeb shows how great a writer he can be by creating a very long story (this is three times the length of Year One) which is episodic but linked by constant story arcs. Practically the entire Batman Rogue's Gallery makes an appearance but it doesn't feel as though they are simply being crammed into the story for the sake of it, each is there for a reason and even when you start to think that they perhaps aren't adding much, you are then shown why they are there. Each chapter represents a 'holiday' from the year and that adds to the uniqueness of the book, it is segmented by Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc, rather than the usual numbered chapters. This portrays the movement of time and the year-long span of the whole story - it's epic and the timeline enhances the sense of desperation and menace experienced by the main characters. Long Halloween is also a two-face origins story and it's easily the most heartfelt telling of his creation, it spends time making sure you understand his motives. The dialogue steers clear of cheesy one-liners and flows naturally, you can hear the voices in your head and along with the visuals you'll feel as though you've just watched a highly stylised film!
In a nutshell: This story set a year or after Year One still covers the early part of Bruce Wayne's 'career' as Batman but it's made clear that he's encountered a lot and been on a steep learning curve. Gordon and Dent are equally as important to the story and this is easily one of the best and most grown up Batman titles available. The very first chapter is probably the most engrossing piece of Batman I've ever read, and this graphic novel never really loses momentum, it's obvious why this was has been so influencial on subsequent books and the Chris Nolan films.

Nyonya Cendol Cafe (Best Cendol in KL) @ Summit Subang USJ
If you love Nyonya Cendol, you should make your way to Summit Subang USJ as quickly as you can. There's a quaint cafe at the lower ground floor going by the name of Nyonya Cendol Cafe which serves possibly the best cendol in Klang Valley.

There's a concentration of Japanese restaurants in Subang Jaya especially opposite SJMC where you could find no less than 5 of them lined up side by side.
After contemplating which restaurant we should eat at, Jyu Raku was chosen because we have been hearing good things about them. Not to mention the fact that acclaimed chef Hideaki Nakajima from Minori joined the culinary team not too long ago.

Leong's Kitchenette might be the new kid on the block but this cheerful restaurant has managed to garner a loyal following of customers through their 3E motto: economic, express and excellent in taste. They focus on home-style cooking and the menu features all the familiar dishes that mom used to make.

Meeting for potential pot producers moved to an auditorium to accommodate 220 people
Dank Depot
Friday's cannabis meeting has been moved to accommodate a larger-than-anticipated pool of potential producers. So large, in fact, that the Minnesota Department of Health has reserved the 3M Auditorium at the Minnesota History Center.
The new address is 345 W. Kellogg Boulevard, in St. Paul, and the event starts at 9 a.m. The number of RSVPs is close to 220, according to a spokesman for the health department.

MN Department of Health releases early rules, application for pot producers
An agenda for the meeting shows presentations by state health and revenue employees. The whole thing runs until 3 p.m. with two breaks for munchies.
The state is looking for two certified manufacturers that are able to cultivate and distribute cannabis to patients within very strict regulations. Late last week, we took a peek at an early draft of the rules as well as the application. Together they total 69 pages. Much of the Friday meeting will be dedicated to reviewing those materials and answering questions from the crowd.
For help navigating the red tape, at least one group of Minnesotans has turned to outside help, hiring the Colorado-based American Cannabis Company. And at least one law firm is so jacked about getting into the game that it has petitioned the state supreme court for protection. As it stands, attorneys who give advice about producing cannabis do so at the risk of arrest.
Anyone who's interested (and has a spare $20,000) should file a notice of intent with the health department by September 19 and be sure to turn in the application by October 3. After presentations and site inspections, the state is supposed to name two finalists on November 17. Qualifying patients will received their medicine in July 2015 at the earliest.
If you miss Friday's meeting, no sweat. We'll be there. Plus the state is planning to post meeting materials on the Office of Medical Cannabis website.

Mayor Berke is robbing the working class of their earned pension. Sadly, I just read that the actuary study concluded that the city of Chattanooga will save a lot more than estimated or needed at about $5.1 million at the expense of the working class. If the savings is more, reduce the cuts to the pension.
To suggest that Mayor Berke is just helping preserve a workable defined benefit pension is pure hogwash. The only desire of the Mayor's office is to free bond issue leverage for the usual developer friends to use our mandated tax dollars as their working capital in Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) or corporate welfare incentives.
What is the rush to reduce the fire and police pension? The rush is to position the city for more bond issues for a $7.5 million dollar parking garage, developers, and TIF for developers that live off of corporate welfare. All funded on the backs of the working class that are fully vested in a pension promise.
Mayor Berke is not helping anyone, but a group of Chamber of Commerce elites at the expense of the working class. Are we sure Andy is a Democrat? Of course not - it is an attempt to appear center for the future race by design.
April Eidson
* * *
"What is the rush to reduce the fire and police pension?"
Is it for bond issue positioning for a city that is already AAA bond rated in a county that is already AAA bond rating? Perhaps.
…Or perhaps it's the fact that this pension has a market value of 51.8% and falling daily?
Because of all 31 private government pensions in the state of Tennessee, Chattanooga's Fire and Police Pension is rated next to last in funding status, despite the fact that Chattanooga is actually only one of 10 of these cities to fund more than they are actually required to of their Annual Required Contribution (Daniel Connolly, "The Commercial Appeal", 03-Feb-2014) despite a flow of misinformation to the contrary that would compete with the Tennessee River itself?
Or that while we are at a 51.8% market value, the State of Tennessee is proposing legislation that would force this same pension to cede control and cease all COLA benefits because of its funding status being below 60% (TN Senate Bill 2079, p. 3)? (That's a 0% COLA and loss of governance without a referendum OR negotiation, by the way.)
51.8% funding status: It's a cold hard truth and one I've noticed you and every other detractor has conveniently avoided to date. It's not a bond issue, and it wasn't caused by a lack of pension caps. This pension is facing complete failure and the only ways of fixing it (and therefore our future – yours included) are bloody and painful to all employees, past and present, and to say that instead of a math issue this is part of a mass conspiracy apparently involving the active and retired police officers and firefighters and a group of incredibly dedicated community volunteers that are actively trying to come up with a solution to fix it is the height of lunacy, and those of us living in the world of cold hard facts are just about at the end of our ropes on the subject.
…Or it's a bond conspiracy, I could be wrong.
Either way, I don't mind this being hijacked as a political vehicle for agenda's on either side of the aisle, so long as it's fixed…and fixed by its members, not the Tennessee Legislature as others were about to inadvertently insist.
Mine is a career of tough decisions. To those that served on this Task Force? I appreciate you for doing the same and my family will continue to thank you long after I have passed, and this pension survives as a direct result.
51.8%: No one has "rolled over". They just did the math and made the tough choices and not liking the answer has nothing to do with it.
Craig W. Joel
* * *
The opinion entitled "Robbing the Working Class" regarding the Fire and Police Pension Fund reform omits several key points. I had the privilege to serve alongside the police and fire members on the task force as a community volunteer the last six months and came away with an even greater appreciation for the jobs they do. Hats off to the active and retired workers who agreed to serve on the task force in a very difficult role. They were in a thankless position but they acknowledged the issue and made the tough calls to put the pension on a sustainable footing for officers 25 years down the road. At only a 51.8 percent funded ratio when the task force began meeting, it was not on a sustainable footing before the latest proposed changes.
Mayor Berke's fortitude in addressing pension reform was not part of a larger black helicopter plan. If the fund had stayed on its same trajectory it would not have been too far behind Detroit in terms of insolvency. Dealing with the issue after it had been kicked down the road for several years before Mayor Berke's time was the responsible thing to do. Personalizing the issue against the mayor is misdirected. He inherited the pension fund issue. He did not create it. The pensions funded ratio ranked 30th out of 31 among Tennessee non-TCR funds. In 1999 the funded ratio was 109.9 percent. It was over-funded and the city's contribution as a percentage of payroll was 11 percent. By 2013 the city was contributing 35.9 percent of payroll yet the funded ratio had declined to 51.8 percent despite the city having overfunded its required contribution during that time. Even if the writer was correct that the city is reducing its contribution by $5.1 million, it is still paying in excess of 250 percent more now than it did in 1999. No one's checks will be reduced. Widows and those killed in the line of duty will see increases. A COLA and the DROP remain in place contrary to many peer cities.
Had the task force not reached a consensus, the issue would have gone to a referendum where voters could choose between a tax increase benefiting a select few versus unilaterally-imposed cuts to the pension benefits to restore the fund to healthy status. Everyone knows how Hamilton County's majority feels about tax increases. Conventional wisdom was that the referendum cuts would have been worse than the choices arrived at through careful, collaborative discussions over many months.
Rather than look for negatives in what was a difficult exercise, kudos once again to the police and fire representatives who made demanding choices under tight financial constraints, none of which any of the parties involved created.
On a lighter note, as a lifelong observer of politics, I think it's safe to say that the mayor's Democrat credentials and bona fides remain unblemished and unquestionable.

CarGurus has 26,756 nationwide Grand Caravan listings starting at $1,499.
2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Overview
The 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan didn't change its MO much, as it seemd to be doing everything right. The same trims and engine options were offered, with the reappareance of the Cargo Van (C/V) this year. The 3.3-liter, 180-hp V6 came standard on the SE, eL, Sport, and Cargo Van, while the 3.8-liter, 215-hp V6 was standard on the eX and ES.
New for 2003 is a power sunroof option for the ES only, and standard power liftgate on the eX and ES, a feature highly valued by appreciative moms everywhere. The AutoStick transmission is discontinued in 2003. Grand Caravans also offer optional three-zone temperature control to accommodate the three rows of passenger seating.
There is no end to the praise for the 2003 Grand Caravan. From its wide variety of engine and trim options, to the smooth, quiet ride and car-like driving experience, to the cargo space and energetic engine, this minivan remains popular among owners. Drivers love the interior comfort and high seating. Some downsides are the heavy-to-remove third-row seating, wide turn radius, and maneuverability of the long Grand Caravans. One thing Dodge seems to have addressed is the transmission problems, as complaints of this in the 2003 Grand Caravan are not as abundant as in other years.

This is not really a book that you will want to read from cover to cover, but instead keep it by your bedside and pick up between whatever you happen to be reading at the time. Browse a few of the 1500 + words, abbreviations, and technical terms and you may discover something you never knew before. I'm particularly fond of querulous. Words are a powerful tool.
Jan 24, 2016 Nick Wright rated it really liked it
This "book" acts more of a textbook than a novel but I would recommend it to anyone inspired to maximize their lexicon. The key to this book is to take your time and put in the work. If you superciliously read this book you will learn nothing. Albeit, this book did take a while to complete, it was quite the useful resource.

This application is a continuation-in-part of provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/396,307, filed in the United States Patent Office on Jul. 16, 2002.
The invention relates to a patrol vehicle safety mirror. More particularly, the invention relates to a mirror which mounts onto a patrol vehicle, and is forwardly oriented therefrom, for allowing an officer to watch a stopped vehicle in front of the patrol vehicle, while the official is walking from the stopped vehicle back to the patrol vehicle.
It is often said that the most dangerous activity a police officer-routinely engages in is approaching a stopped vehicle. Even during a seemingly routine traffic stop and when a police officer takes every conceivable precaution, there still exists considerable danger.
One danger that has been seemingly unavoidable is encountered after a police officer has approached a stopped vehicle, and then walks back to the patrol car. During that time period, the officer is most vulnerable, since the officer's back is to the stopped vehicle. All too often at this point, the stopped vehicle suddenly drives off—or its driver or passenger attempts to harm the officer.
Another danger stems from oncoming traffic, as a well-trained officer tends to keep his/her eyes on the stopped driver while walking back to the patrol car. Unfortunately, this itself places the officer in "harms way", since the officer is often walking in a lane of traffic while not simultaneously watching the traffic—especially when the stopped patrol car is blocking a lane of traffic, and drivers are moving into the proximity of the officer who is walking back to his vehicle. In fact, numerous officers have been struck and killed by traffic in this very scenario.
Some attempts have been made to develop mirror systems that provide a forward view to a driver. However, these systems are intended to be used while seated in the vehicle—often to provide a view that cannot otherwise be obtained from the driver's vantage point. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,685,779 to Gonzales, U.S. Pat. No. 6,103,552 to Thau et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,247,821 to Brewster, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,361,178 to Lan et al. disclose various systems that employ multiple mirrors or lenses to enhance the view of the driver.
While these units may be suitable for the particular purposes employed, or for general use they would clearly not be suitable for the purposes of the present invention, as described hereinafter.
In view of the foregoing problems inherent in the prior art, the present invention provides a safety mirror for use with a patrol car. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved safety mirror for attachment to a patrol car which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages and as such addresses a significant safety concern of police officers.
It is an object of the invention to safeguard an officer from harm while walking back to the patrol car from a vehicle stopped in front of the patrol car. Accordingly, the safety mirror is mounted adjacent a door of the patrol car and has a mirror surface that is oriented forward, to enable the officer to watch the mirror while walking to the patrol car so that the officer can at all times see the stopped vehicle while his/her back is turned to the stopped vehicle, while simultaneously allowing the officer to continuously fade and watch oncoming traffic.
It is a further object of the invention that the invention is convenient to use, and does not interfere with ordinary use of the patrol car. Accordingly, the mirror is preferably mounted on the driver's side, in the vicinity of the rear view mirror.
It is yet another object of the invention that the mirror is easy to install. Accordingly, a bracket is provided which allows quick and easy mounting to the driver side door immediately in front of the rear view mirror.
To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a safety mirror for attaching to a patrol car having a front, a driver side, and a driver side rear-view mirror, for use when an officer is walking back to the patrol car from a stopped vehicle located in front of the patrol car. The safety mirror has a housing having a front and a rear, a mirror surface located at the housing front, and a bracket extending rearwardly from the housing. The bracket is attached to the driver side door adjacent the rear view mirror, and the mirror surface is oriented forwardly. Accordingly when walking toward the patrol vehicle substantially alongside and parallel to the driver side, the officer can see the stopped vehicle in the mirror surface while simultaneously watching oncoming traffic.
To the accomplishment of the above and related objects the invention may be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Attention is called to the fact, however, that the drawings are illustrative only. Variations are contemplated as being part of the invention, limited only by the scope of the claims, when the same are presented.
In the drawings, like elements are depicted by like reference numerals. The drawings are briefly described as follows.
The mirror surface 26 is forwardly oriented, substantially parallel to the vehicle front 10F. Quite distinct from the myriad of mirrors ordinarily used and mounted to vehicles, the safety mirror as illustrated herein is intended to be used by individuals standing outside of and in front of the vehicle in viewing objects behind them.
More particularly, referring to
In this regard, during use, the officer would likely position the patrol car immediately behind and slightly toward the left of the stopped vehicle, keeping the prospective viewing angle of the mirror in mind before parking the patrol car. For a fixed mounting of the safety mirror 20, this would seem to provide the most effective viewing position when the officer is walking in a straight line parallel and slightly alongside the driver side 10D of the patrol car 10. The officer can of course adjust his/her trajectory while looking into the safety mirror 20 to keep the stopped vehicle 32 in view while walking. Advantageously, with the mirror properly adjusted, the police officer can watch the stopped vehicle in the mirror, while facing oncoming traffic. Often, the patrol car is positioned within a lane of traffic, and when walking toward the patrol car is facing oncoming traffic within that lane. Accordingly, the police officer can simultaneously watch the driver of the stopped vehicle and potential hazards from oncoming traffic.
It should also be noted than an additional mirror may be provided on the passenger side of the patrol car, giving a second officer the benefit of viewing the stopped vehicle while returning to the passenger side of the patrol car. Such additional mirror may be mounted to the passenger side rear view mirror, or even to the upper left portion of the windshield.
In addition, the mirror 20 can be configured so that it is angularly adjustable by the officer. In particular, the mirror can be configured so that it can be adjusted by the officer as a matter of procedure before leaving the patrol car to approach the stopped vehicle, so that the mirror is aligned for the most effective use once the officer must return to the patrol vehicle. Accordingly, a sighting mechanism can be provided either through the mirror or immediately adjacent to the mirror to facilitate aiming the mirror at the desired viewing area.
As previously indicated, it is possible to attach the mirror to the spot light so that it is suitably aimed whenever the spotlight is pointed at the stopped vehicle. However doing the same might not be feasible, as it would almost require that the officer look directly at the beam emitted from the spot light in order to see the mirror surface. Accordingly, it is possible that the mirror be mounted to the spotlight, yet be mounted so that it is offset a sufficient distance from the beam.
In addition, to prevent possible inadvertent reflections of headlights, or other hazards caused by the forwardly facing mirror surface, the mirror might be configured with provisions to either selectively cover the mirror surface when not in use, or to redirect the mirror in an innocuous direction when not in use, while still allowing the mirror to be easily deployed when needed.
In particular, the main housing 40 has a rear surface 43 which has a mounting plate seat 54 which is sized to accommodate the mounting plate 52 so that it rests flush with the rear surface 43. The mounting plate 52 has an open semi-spherical collar 56 that holds the ball 48 within the main housing 40, and allows the plug 49 to protrude rearwardly from the mounting plate 52. Best seen in
During assembly, the ball 48 is inserted into the socket 60, and is fastened therein with the mounting plate 52 which seats securely within the mounting plate 54 of the main housing 40 rear surface 43. The mounting plate 54 is fastened to the rear surface 43 with screws, or other fasteners. The ball 48 is thereby held securely in the socket 60 by the mounting plate 54, and is permitted to rotate and pivot within said socket 60 by the spherical collar 56 of the mounting plate 52. The plug 49 protrudes rearwardly from the mounting plate 54, is held within a receptacle 66 in the mounting arm 50 and is fastened therein with a central screw 68 that extends within an axial bore 70 in the plug 49. The mounting arm 50 has a rear surface 51 that is open to allow the attachment of the plug 49 within the receptacle 66 using the central screw 68. The mounting arm 50 is closed with a mounting arm plate 72 which itself attaches to the mounting arm 50 with mounting arm plate screws 74.
The mounting arm 50 is attached to the patrol car 10 with the mounting arm flange plate 55. Preferably, the flange plate 55 is attached to the driver door 12
In conclusion, herein is presented a safety mirror that addresses a critical safety concern and prevalent vulnerability by allowing an officer to effectively watch a stopped vehicle while returning to the patrol car. The invention is illustrated by example in the attached drawing figures and in the foregoing description. Such is illustrative-only of the inventive concept. Numerous variations are possible while adhering to the principles of the present invention. Such variations are contemplated as being a part of the present invention.

Arsenal Message Board
Take the p 1 55 whilst we can
I love taking the rise out of Man U, it's what football is all about. When your top you lap it up, when your on the downer you take it on the chin. Sometimes it's big time rivals like Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal etc, other times it's regional rivalry and it should all be taken in good faith..........................But mark my words, take the micky whilst we can as the signing of J Mata is a massive coup for Man U.
After seeing the impact that RVP can add to a rival, why on earth has Jose sold Mate to a rival?....in fact why is Mata not in the 1st 11 in my opinion!
OK much depends on RVP and Shrek getting and staying fit.........but if they do, RVP, Rooney, Mata, Januazi, Kagawa.....and reserves like Hernandez, Wellbeck make it a potentially great attack and midfield. Purchase a top defender and they may be back at the top!
Just my opinion...........Maybe not yours?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I agree enjoy it whilst you can. Part of the reason people are going so overboard now about united is that they are terrified moyes might actually correct fergies mistakes and improve the midfield, Thats a midifeld that finished over 20 points above arsenal last year. Scary stuff #goonersclutchatstraws
I agree that Mata is a great coup for Man U and a great price tag for Chelsea.
I agree with Moureen that Man U are no threat to Chelsea so to sell to Man U won't hurt them this season. Man U still have a very real chance at CL football for next year being only 6 points away from 4th. Probably most importantly for Mata he now has a chance of playing regular football and thus make it to the WC.
On the flip side Moureen didn't like Mata because of Mata's lack of defensive work and discipline. Man U having a poor defensive record will not get a lot of help from Mata in that department.
Creatively they will become a lot better with Mata in the squad and I am sure this could see RVP and Rooney get better service.
Credit to Man U, they needed to give their squad and fans a lift and they got it done.
Although Arsenal doesn't need a confidence lift being in 1st, I doubt given our poor transfer window track record, that we will sign an immediate impact player and it seems clear to me that we do need such a player if we want to hold on to 1st.
Giroud is probably having a career year yet would most likely not make it into the starting 11 of Man U, City, Chelsea, Liverpool or even Spurs and with Walcott out we lack width on the right. I think to over play young guys like Gnarby or a just returning Ox on the right side is asking for long term injury problems for them.
In an ideal world we would sign a top quality striker or winger this window to help our chances to win the PL. In any event if we don't sign any player and finish in the top 3, I would still be happy this season provided we spend well in the summer. Ozil can not be a one of top signing if we want to get back to being regular challengers.

My 4 year old son started pre-k a couple of weeks ago. Since birth, my mom has kept him while I work. He has never been to daycare or any type of schooling until now. I have him in half-day classes (from 8:15-11:15) at a private school. He absolutely loves school and being with other kids.
So far I like his teacher, but I am getting discouraged. Today she said that he "lacks structure." She didn't say it in a mean way, but I thought well, he is 4. Do most 4 year olds have structure and wouldn't this be expected from a child who has never been in a class room setting? She says he has a hard time staying seated and listening, but she said that was normal for a child who has never been in school, and he will catch on. Please tell me this is normal. Has anyone else had a similar situation and your child caught on OK?
