Irrefutable Facts Against Evolution
Discussion of everything related to the Theory of Evolution.
Moderator: BioTeam
Tomn , Fantastic thread! It just goes to show that evolution has so many holes. It is no wonder why many atheists and those who believe in evolution now are saying that aliens have created us. They CANNOT DENY the evidence for an intelligent creator, yet, they just don't want Yahweh, so they resort to embracing the aliens..... The bible talks about this as the great deception.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Jeremiah 33:3 Call on me in prayer and I will answer you. I will show you great and mysterious things which you still do not know about.'
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Call to Yeshua Jesus!
Re: Irrefutable Facts Against Evolution
No, it's actually this way - people who are racists look for any reasoning to make their believes approved. And Darwinism may provide such. But that doesn't mean it's wrong.
If all the creatures were created by God with love, how so that the so religious US south used to be so racist? Where did the slavery hold the longest?
I see, so the Bible is divinely inspired. How do you know? Because the Bible says so!!!
Show me the evidence for science and medicine? Where does it state that the heart pumps blood and that brain (at least in some people) is responsible for emotions and reasoning? Where does it say that plants and animals are composed of basically the same building blocks - cells. That those are further composed from proteins and lipinds and our hereditary information is in DNA. And all of this is composed of atoms. Which are actually not not indivisible as old Greeks (but not Christians) thought, but are composed of yet another sub-atomic particles? Where does it state anything about combustion engine?
No, you have it actually wrong, the Christians are converting to Islam, just check the western Europe.
The rest is just such bullshit, it's even hard to comment...
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Re: Irrefutable Facts Against Evolution
I would be more impressed if God had done that for the native Africans or native Americans before any missionaries, crusaders, or emigrating Protestants had entered the picture.
You got it wrong! There is NO evidence of "an intelligent creator" just as there is NO evidence of microbe to human evolution. There is, however, abundant evidence that WE can create new species and WE can send them to other planets. Hence, we can extrapolate that there is a possibility that this was done to us in the past. The theory that LIFE is older than our planet is supported by math, not bible.
Re: Irrefutable Facts Against Evolution
Exactly. They also used certain Bible verses to justify slavery. That doesn't mean Christianity leads to racism, it just means there are racist Christians.
Re: Irrefutable Facts Against Evolution
God did not do it, Gravity did it. Gravity in something as massive as a star, all of which are powered by nuclear fusion, so I guess that is, after all, a natural process.
Russian science is often wrong being more political than scientific, but I would need an actual reference to such a claim to provide a detailed rebuttal.
The Earth's magnetic field does not decay along a half-life curve, as radioactive elements do. It varies in complex and non periodic, cyclical ways, as we have demonstrated by sampling past magnetic fields as they were captured in the iron rich magma along the sides of mid ocean ridges, as the sea floor has spread.
You have no understanding of population growth, it is not a constant as you have modeled it so your "rules" are wrong. There is a saying in science, "garbage in, garbage out."
There are exposed outcroppings of rocks of almost every conceivable age, somewhere on earth. That is dependent upon the overlying rock and the weathering that it is exposed to.
There are no human footprints inside of dinosaur footprints except in the imaginations of some charlatans.
This is know as the, "argument from irreducible complexity," and it has been debunked many, many times with respect to many, many structures. Each time a door is slammed in the creationists' face (as it has been with respect to many structures and many metabolic pathways) they attempt to open another one, and the Evolutionists scurry about and slam it too, and the process goes on and on.
But the truth is, even if the Evolutionists can't (for the moment) explain something, all that wins for the Creationists is the admission that the Evolutionists don't know (yet). It not until the Creationists commit the intellectual fraud of making an argument from ignorance, that they can pretend to have taken some ground. But the reality is that even if something cannot, at this moment, be perfectly explained, that is not evidence that "Goddidit." That is only evidence that, perhaps, we don't know (yet). "God of the Gaps" doesn't cut it.
Michael Behe, the prominent Creationist, defines an "irreducibly complex form" as: "composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning."
While surrounded by some fancy words and the language of science, this is nauht but his personal incredulity that the world could arise through naturalistic processes. Behe's argument is no more advanced or "evolved" than William Paley's "Watch Argument" which stated that since a watch looked created, it must have a creator. Essentially, Behe is stating "because I can't see a natural explanation, Goddidit" - this ignores any possibility that a naturalistic explanation or evolutionary pathway will later be discovered.
It's also quite telling that Behe never goes on to attempt to define "several" as a meaningful number, giving intelligent design a crucial untestability. It gives the creators infinite room to declare any number of things (that do not presently have an evolutionary explanation) "irreducibly complex", while at the same time denying the applicability to other structures with a known evolutionary history.
Biologist Björn Brembs suggests an alternative definition for irreducibly complexity: "A statement, fact or event so simple it cannot be simplified any further, but still too complex to be grasped by a creationist."
Although irreducible complexity is offered as evidence of creationism, this conclusion is questionable. Robustness is generally considered to indicate good design, not precariousness. Which parachute would you consider better designed - one which ceased to function if a single part was missing, or one which has a back-up ripcord? Irreducible complexity is at best evidence for crappy design and at worst an example of highly muddled thinking disguised as "common sense."
That is why I now try to not address arguments from irreducible complexity and ignorance in the specific but rather dispose of the entire class of such foolishness in one swell foop.
Among the more famous early instances of an argument from "irreducible complexity" is the argument by Herbert Spencer that the huge antlers of the Irish Elk together with the other bodily structures needed to support them formed a combination that could not have arisen by natural selection alone (Robert J. Richards, Was Hitler a Darwinian?: Disputed Questions in the History of Evolutionary Theory. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2013, page 125).
Another obvious counterpoint is that irreducible complexity can easily be demonstrated in technology, and the Creationists' arguments become utterly ludicrous when applied to a real process of design: e.g., a modern steel mill makes steel, but has vital components that are themselves made of steel. The Creationists' claim, applied to this example, would be "a designer must have magically created the steel components of the first mill," rather than imagine that perhaps the first steel was not made in a modern steel mill.
One way in which "Irreducibly complex" structures develop is via a process known as scaffolding, wherein a structure gains in complexity via duplication and mutation of parts, then parts are knocked out via mutations, leaving a structure with no direct linear development from the original, basic structure, much the way an arch is built. Other paths by which irreducibly complex structures may form include cooption of parts from other structures. Both of these can be seen in the case of the bacterial flagellum, which includes many parts taken from a secretory pump.
Another is "function shift" which can also explain how irreducibly complex structures can evolve. During evolution, a feature may shift from one function to another-a classic example is the feathers of a bird. They originally evolved in dinosaurs as a way to keep warm, but birds then evolved to use them for flight. Half a wing might not be useful for flying, but it will still keep you warm. Our arms are another example-they were originally legs, but evolved into arms when we became bipedal.
Additionally, to assert that something is irreducibly complex is to assert that none of the parts could have provided a benefit by themselves. The more parts there are, the more impressive it is that all of them developed; however, this also means that there are more possibilities that have to be eliminated. For instance, if someone claims that there are ten parts to a particular irreducibly complex structure, then there are ten different possibilities for which one developed first. If even just one of them has a use that we are unaware of, then the structure is not irreducibly complex.

The problem is not with with gradual (or even episodic) evolution; the problem is with the misapplication of "common sense" by fools and their tools and their invention of "facts". Your logic is fatally flawed and easily falsified in the both the specific and general case, as has been shown above.
Re: Irrefutable Facts Against Evolution
The irrefutable facts against evolution are tremendous! However, evolution is not considered to be a series of independent events: http://bigpaperwriter.com/blog/creationism-vs-evolution-essay. I'm sure you will tell me your opinion concerning this fact!

This film is based on the original Swamp Cooking cookbooks by Dana Holyfield,
Preserving a unique way of life in Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp. The cookbooks contain a collection of Swamp Country Recipes along with colorful photographs that give you a glimpse of the way things are done on the Pearl River Bayou. These Swampers know how to hunt and fish for survival and for fun, then unwind with a little homegrown music to get the fish frying and invite a few friends over for a bite to eat. All they need is a boat to get there. The recipe ingredients include; crawfish, alligator, turtle, catfish, deer, frogs, wild boar, crab, shrimp, nutira, and any other critters found in the Louisiana swamp.
The "Swamp Cooking" song lyrics were written by Dana Holyfield and the music and voice was written and recorded by Carlo Ditto at Orleans Records. All rights reserved.

Had a couple gentlemen in from Tennessee this week, of course during our first fall cool front.
We had planned on a (2) two night hunt but with the winds building to (15-20) fifteen to twenty over the next (24) twenty-four hours, we knew we had to get the hunt done tonight.
The fist gator, a (7) seven came @ the edge of the river run with a crossbow hit to the lung. After putting a second line into it, we moved into our duck holes to clean out some bigger ones.
As we pushed our way up into the marsh & into a foot of water, the ( eight footer blew up out of a grass mat, hauling arse for the willows.
The client drew back his bow & nailed it in the lower back as it was moving full speed & away towards the safety of the willows.
The gator took all the line & ended up (20) twenty yards in the tall brush giving us no second shot.
Capt. Jim Myer grabbed the bang stick, bailed out of the boat & followed the line to the predator.
After disappearing into the brush we heard the "crack" of the .223 round just a few seconds later!!!
Out came Capt. Jim dragging the still quivering beast.
After freeing ourselves from the sticky black mud, we proceeded about (50) fifty yards into the pothole when all of a sudden the water blew up like a hand grenade going off, splashing everyone in the boat.
Capt. Jim who was in the rear seat began to yell, "shoot, shoot, shoot!!!"
The (9) nine footer began to run across the pothole @ full speed when the crossbow bolt struck it square in the back.
I yelled to the client to grab the line before the beast could again get into the willows. The line came tight, stopping the gator in its tracks.
All of a sudden the gator turn & ran straight towards the boat.
I started to yell "he's coming into the boat" & for client jump up on the seat!!!
As it reach the port side bow, the gator launched itself onto the front deck of the boat, snapping @ biting @ anything it could get into its jaws.
As the gator twisted & turned on the deck, it finally rolled off & tried to escape again towards the willows.
Capt. Jim had already loaded up the hand held harpoon & the client launched it square into the gators back.
After a few desperate "death rolls" to free itself, the beast settled down & afforded us a .223 bang stick shot to the head.
After the cheers, back slapping & high fives, we boated the beast & headed back to the ramp.
What a night to have forgotten the GoPro's!!!

Can someome help explain what the difference is between Believe and Believe in. Thank you.
When you believe in something, you take it for granted that it really exists. There are no two questions about it. For example: • Many people believe in ghosts. • I don't believe in angels. • Many children believe in Santa Claus. • I believe in God. In all the examples that we have talked about so far, one is quite sure that the thing being discussed exists.
Believe mean? When you believe something, you accept everything that someone says as being true or real. That is one of the meanings. For example, like an idiot I believed everything he said. • We believed everything the doctor told us. • Never believe anything that Venkat tells you. • I never believe anything that anybody tells me.

SOMERTON, Ariz. — Traditionally, melon breeders have focused on grower traits, such as yields and disease resistance, and flavor was frequently an afterthought.
But that trend has changed, at least within HM Clause, parent company of Modesto, Calif.-based Harris Moran.
"The trend is toward a better-eating melon that will be consistent from one growing area to the next when you move from the desert to the San Joaquin Valley and back to the desert in the fall," said Meir Peretz, Western regional sales and product development manager. "We want to have the same consistent taste experience by the consumer."
As an example, he pointed to the Origami, a cantaloupe that combines flavor, aroma, and high Brix with longer shelf life more like a Harper-type melon.
Peretz and his colleagues showed off advanced and current lines of cantaloupe, including the Origami, as well as honeydew and other melons at a two-day field day, June 3-4.
Harris Moran has exclusive agreements with Five Crowns Marketing and Legend Produce to market the Origami in the U.S. and Mexico, Peretz said.
Even before Origami seed was commercially available, it had captured the attention of Barry Zwillinger, owner of Legend Produce, Dos Palos, Calif.
For four years, the grower-shipper has conducted field trials as well as sampling programs with retailers, restaurants, food service and processors — all with the same response.
"It's been an overwhelming success," Zwillinger said. "And that's what's brought us from growing 3-4 acres as a test plot to growing over 3,000 acres this year."
Demand for the Origami has exceeded supply, and he said Legend Produce plans to double acreage next year.
Retailers like the branded melon because it helps differentiate themselves from others that carry cantaloupe as a commodity, Zwillinger said.
Some retailers will display point-of-purchase materials identifying the melon, whereas others may market it under the Legend brand, he said. Still others may promote it as the Origami brand by Legend.
Processors also like the variety because it has a thin rind, small seed cavity and flesh recovery as high as 55% compared to 40% for most standard cantaloupe varieties, Petertz said.
One of the downsides for growers is plants yield about 20% less than some other Western shipper varieties, making it more expensive to produce, Zwillinger said.
"But what you're getting is a superior melon and repeat business and repeat sales," he said. "The retailers and food service and processors that are focusing on Origami are flavor-driven companies, and they are increasing daily."
Brawley, Calif.-based Five Crowns Marketing also has seen increased demand for the variety, said Daren Van Dyke, director of sales and marketing. One small independent retailer, for example, used to take six to seven pallets of cantaloupe per week, he said. Now with Origami, that same retailer is taking a full load each week.
"We've been looking for more of a long-shelf-life melon that also has the characteristics of a Western shipper, a slip melon," he said. "(The Origami) is the best combination of a Harper and a Western shipper."
When a Western shipper is ripe, the stem will detach cleanly from the fruit — a trait known as "slip."
The Origami has that same characteristic, making it easy for harvest crews to determine whether the fruit is ripe to pick, Peretz said.
In the past, Van Dyke said Five Crowns Marketing focused heavily on another Western shipper variety that had softer flesh. To compensate, harvest crews would pick it when it had more of a breaking color and about three-quarters slip.
But with the Origami, "You can get it ripe, and not only is it ripe, but it is going to hold up," he said.

This is my assembly and eventual ESB paintup of ASOK's CC FR MR Budget Boba Fett Helmet. Hopefully it will help some visualize the process of getting the helmet ready to paint. I couldn't get pictures of everything but hopefully you get an idea of what is involved.
To make this helmet really shine you need to polish it with "0" grit steel wool and then a final buff with "000" or higher steel wool. This will give the finish of swirled aluminum. Afterwards give it a polishing with "0000" steel wool for that final shine. I prefer to use real steel wool instead of the 3M stuff. I think the metal on metal effects shines this up best.

Hey all ,
Just wanted to stop by and say hello to all my fellow Ohio waterfowlers, this is my first year here in Ohio and first year duck hunting in general. I transplanted from Ind, and did alot of field goose hunting there but have turned my eyes towards shooting at some ducks also this year.
So far all public land and 6 teal and 2 geese, and yesterday with my daughter during youth hunt found out how fast and quiet ducks come in compared to geese.

Much of the country periodically experiences severe and sustained cold weather, with snowfalls interspersed with periods of melting and freezing. This can inflict considerable damage on homes.
Here are some tips and steps you can take to make insurance losses less likely during extended severe weather.
Standard homeowners policies will cover most of the kinds of damage that result from a freeze. For example, if house pipes freeze and burst or if ice forms in gutters and causes water to back up under roof shingles and seep into the house. You would also be covered if the weight of snow or ice damages your house.
However, most policies do not cover backups in sewers and drains or flood damage, which can also happen in winter. To be covered for flooding, you need a policy from the National Flood Insurance Program, while coverage for sewers and drains is generally offered as an endorsement to a standard homeowners insurance policy.
If your home suffers water damage, it is important to make sure that it is properly dried and repaired to prevent any potential problem with mold. Remember, mold can not survive without moisture.
Check with your agent or company so you'll be sure what your policy covers.

The information on this site is general in nature. Any description of coverage is necessarily simplified. Whether a particular loss is covered depends on the specific facts and the provisions, exclusions and limits of the actual policy.

Vinyl record sales continue to grow
(Columbus) - Vinyl records hit their peak in the 1970s, but they're making a comeback.
Vinyl sales grew 32 percent over last year from 4.5 million units sold in 2012 to 6 million sold in 2013, according to Nielsen SoundScan. At the same time CD sales dropped by about 14 percent.
"Not only did vinyl go up like 30 percent, downloads went down for the first time," said Kyle Siegrist who owns Lost Weekend Records in Columbus. "Now I'm not saying that vinyl is anywhere near taking over downloads yet, but it's the first time where as vinyl continued to rise, downloads actually took a dip down."
Siegrist says it may come as a shock to many that the biggest part of his business comes from young people.
"Most of my customers are still your late teens to mid-20s," he said. "It's like brand new to them."
He believes the reason CDs took over is because they were more convenient to take with you. Now digital downloads are even more convenient and that's killing off CDs, but there's just something about having a physical copy of an album that is still appealing.
"It's more magical. It's kind of sexier. It's the needle in the groove vibrating to make that sound. Whereas CDs you have a laser beam bouncing off plastic, which does sound magical and futuristic, but there's something even more magical about the needle in the groove," Siegrist said.
But the new vinyl isn't like the old vinyl. It's thicker and that makes it sound better. Those improvements also come at a price.
"New records can be $20, $25, even $30. It's a lot more expensive than it used to be," he said.
For fans of vinyl, there's nothing better than the experience they create for listening.

Megan & Tyler
June 16
Poughkeepsie, New York
Q & A with the couple:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
Even before we were engaged we said we would get married at The Grandview because of the amazing views. It is located directly on the Hudson River with the Mid-Hudson Bridge in the background. Multi-colored LED lights hang from the bridge's superstructure which makes for a perfect backdrop in the evening sky. We had our reception in their Outdoor Ballroom which offered the feeling of an outdoor wedding, and allowed us to take full advantage of the stunning views and perfect June weather.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. I loved my Lazaro wedding dress. The trumpet style fit me perfectly and the beaded bodice and platinum sash with handmade flowers made for the perfect amount of detail. If I could wear my wedding dress every day, I would.
2. Flowers/Decor/Color Scheme. Everything matched from our centerpieces to the groomsmen's socks all the way down to the custom invitations and stamps.
3. Personal touches. Rather than the traditional bouquet toss we decided to present bouquets to my grandmothers. Also, on my bouquet we attached my grandfathers' army tags, in their memory.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
Megan would say, looking great in her dress. I (Tyler) would say dancing with my wife for the first time; it was a beautiful thing even though I repeatedly stepped on her cathedral length veil!
Tyler would say, dancing with his mom. I (Megan) would say when they revealed the decorated outdoor ballroom to Tyler and me for the first time before all the guests were seated. Everything was exactly how we had planned it, from the centerpieces down to the wine bottle favors placed on the tables exactly how we had instructed. Having those few moments of calm, just the two of us, taking in all of our hard work was amazing.

Emmanuel Frimpong admits that it is great to see Jack Wilshere with a smile on his face once again after he made his comeback for Arsenal Under-21s.
The England international has been out for 14 months with ankle and knee injuries, but played 63 minutes of Monday afternoon's 1-0 defeat to West Brom.
Frimpong is recovering from a seven-month spell on the sidelines himself, and says he was delighted to be reunited with his "best friend" Wilshere on the pitch.
"I'm happy for him to be back playing with the team again and to see a smile on his face," he said. "After 14 months out, he did very well and he can be pleased with his performance.
"When you've been out for so long, it's only natural you're going to be tired [afterwards]. He needs more games to get fit. I think the England and Arsenal fans should be excited to see him back again.
"He's probably my best friend at the Club. It's only right because I've known him for 11 years. I'm just happy to be playing alongside him and I thought the team did well even though we lost the game - we can take some positives."
Frimpong admitted he had used his tough-tackling style to give Wilshere "a few tests" training, but insisted the other players had had no need to try to encourage him during his recovery.
"No, you didn't have to give any encouragement," he said. "Even though he's a young player, Jack has got loads of international appearances and he's like a senior player in the changing room.
"I don't think we have to give him any motivation to play out here. No matter what game he's playing, he's always willing to give his best."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Hi Lucy,
Last time I told you that we are designing a coursebook on English for IT. I am having difficulty designing the tuning in (or lead - in) activities for each unit. Could you give me some advice on that. What should be taken into account when designing those tuning in activities and what types of tuning in activities are there?
Thanks so much
Hope to hear from you soon

It took a 48.27 to win the North American's college contest.
As a dairy-judging contestant, if someone would tell you that you would only lose 5 points out of 500 on 10 contest classes, you would have to like your chances of winning the contest. Such was the case with Iowa State's Jordan Hanson who only lost 5 points on the Guernsey fall calves (and placed the other 9 classes perfect). On top of that, he averaged 45.8 on reasons to finish with a 724 which is a 48.27 average.
However, Hanson's neighbor to the north, Jayne Esch from the University of Minnesota, was having a day that almost rivaled Hanson's day. She placed 7 of the 10 classes perfect and only lost 13 points on the remaining 3. When it came to reasons, Esch scored 8 more points to close the gap to a dead heat. With scores of 724, and average of 48.27, Esch moved past Hanson on the first tiebreaker reasons.
It was only fitting that their two teams came in first and second in the contest. The University of Minnesota, coached by Les Hansen, averaged 47 points, while Lee Kilmer's Iowa State Cyclones averaged 46.75. There were 16 teams in the college contest.
Shown in the photo are (l to r): Jacob Achen, David Hansen, Jayne Esch, Theresa Twohey, and Coach Les Hansen.
Topping the nearest competitor in the 4-H division was Ben Powers who averaged 47.77, only losing 9 points on placing. His teammate, Lizi Endres, won reasons with a 46.3 average. Amazingly, Endres was Wisconsin's drop score with her 12th place finish and 44.9 average on the day (each team can send up to 4 contestants and the top 3 individuals count towards the team score). There were 21 teams in the 4-H Contest.
The Wisconsin 4-H'ers went on to score an 8-point win over Michigan. Both Wisconsin and Michigan had 3 individuals in the top 10. The Michigan 4-H'ers won reasons.
Shown in the photo are (l to r): Coaches Mark and Beth Heinze, Ben Powers, John Klossner, Lizi Endres, and Sara Harn.
New York State University at Cobleskill won the Post Secondary Contest with an 18-point win over the University of Wisconsin Farm and Industry Short Course. Cobleskill's Colopy won high individual honors with a 46. 7 average. There were 6 teams in the contest.
Shown from l to r are: Coach John Tryon, Steve Quanz, Ben Colopy, Jake Pamkonski, and Eric Worden.

Three lawsuits were filed Wednesday against the Bemidji School District stemming from the alleged sexual abuse of three young students at Central Elementary.
The suits allege that former gym teacher John Wangberg abused the children in his office at the school and that the District allowed him unsupervized access to students even after it had received complaints. Wangberg was arraigned in Beltrami County court on several criminal charges this spring, and he was found dead in his home before his trial began in what police have ruled a suicide.

Catch of the Day
Hampton Beach Seafood Festival offers fun, good food
By Lisa Martineau
Special to the Sunday News | September 07. 2013 7:01PM
Diners line up along the beach Saturday during the annual Hampton Beach Seafood Festival, which continues today. More than 60 restaurants were offering lobsters, clam chowder, scallops and other seafood. (Lisa Martineau)
In short, the three-day festival aims to please.
Before the ribbon was formally cut Friday night, more than 60 restaurants were already going full steam, with lobsters, clam chowder, scallops and other foods from the sea available at every turn. And it wasn't just about seafood; there were also bloomin' onions, pizza and lots of desserts, too - from cupcakes to chocolate-covered strawberries.
Eileen Richardson visited from northern England along with friends Bernie and June Battle of Chelmsford, Mass. Eileen first came to Hampton Beach in 1990 with the Battles.
Richardson attended her first Seafood Festival in 2004 when her friends invited her to come for the three-day weekend along with a group of former teachers and administrators from Chelmsford High School. It has become a tradition for the group of friends, who usually spend Saturday at the festival - only to return to their rented cottage to cook lobster and steak.
That year, 1989, the one-day event was a much smaller affair. In 1990, the festival moved to the new location on Ocean Boulevard and began drawing larger and larger crowds.
Along with friends from Concord, they all enjoyed a good laugh at that. True, the beer tent was a hit, taking up a large space in the tent city on Ocean Boulevard. With so many craft breweries in the Granite State, the beer tent is where it's at, and they had their own stage set up for live music catering to the over-21 crowd.
Stanton has been coming to the festival since the first one and remembers when it was held at the state park.
On Friday, the main stage - the Seashell Stage - saw festival-goers enjoying music by Joey Scott & the Connection, followed by a Hampton Beach favorite, the Reminisants.

Voting Starts Now, July's Hotrodders Art Contest "Chevelles"
The outcome of the anything goes Cuda Contest at Hotrodders was a tough one to choose for the members. The winner of the June Session of the contest "Only Racing" picked Chevelles Of Any Year and Style Including El - Camino's and Malibu's as the subject for July. Classic muscle was what the Chevelle stood for in its hey day, being one of the kings with the LS6 and L78 option. Chevy long dissolved the real car from its original idea and now it simply is a thing of the past.
The artists this month chose to bring back some classics and customs that are just plain sic' in design.
Take a look t the artists work, have fun and choose an image or artist you prefer and add a vote this month. All deserve major props for getting something in while it's mainly vacation time for most.
Images Are in Order of Submissions, Some Have More Than One !! In their entries so please take a close look at who you vote for and all images submitted have been resized for quicker loading and a link has been placed below the smaller image to view the original members submission, some are much larger and details in smaller images become more evident in the large versions.
Voting begins on July 28th Midnight and runs for 5 days as the message board poll will close automatically. The winner of the contest will choose the next "Subject" of The Hotrodders Art Contest" for his efforts.

Jumping in with some paper and pencils kenseth17 went back to his days of having a hot street car to mess around with, all of us have drawn up something we'd like to see our cars as finished and this one is pretty crazy even for its time.

2: Grafixxman And His Photoshop Driven Chevelle Illustrations Two Submissions
Talk about talent that just plain punches you in the face when you look at the immense detail and amount of work involved in creating masterpieces such as these it's inevitable that artists like these survive through the years and are exceptional at their trade and skills, a powerful presentation of Photoshop skills that are learned from years of design and flow with intense levels of color and brilliance that almost resembles a true photograph.

3: BOWTIEKID's Chevelle Street Prowler Photo Manipulation
This young man has been waiting patiently for one of his favorite rides to come into play for a contest and his use of tool in photo manipulation techniques. Using the very well shot photo he included in his double barreled entries choosing both black and white plus a color version it comes to life in two stages.

4: fortypickups Street Burner Chevelle Vector Illustration
Forty has been a champ here many times and though he chose to almost sit this one out, the contest ended and this one has to go in. Just opening up the picture you can almost hear the throaty rumble of a big block under the hood as it waits to go out on a cruise the deep color and shadow reflections concentrate your eyes on the level of accuracy in his dimensional look at vector illustrating.

5: 57 Corvette's Rumble in Bowtie Land Photo Manipulations
Also a collective winner in this contest 57 Corvette uses many varieties of artistic photos to begin and manipulates them until you can't tell if it's art or if it's real. Glossy reflections, deep grounds of dense colors and mirror imaging, a tough one to get right in many cases when an image is on an angle like most of his are. His work represents many types of dodging, and burning layers plus cutouts that are so seamless you barely notice how much effort goes into this part of his work. 57 has entered three versions combined into one vote, pick your bowtie poison at will.

6: pigjamelectric Archies Chevelle Illustration, Betty and Veronica Are There Too.
Earlier in the contest thread pigjamelectric got a little help from a member here "Rambo The Dog" for the use of his photo to outline the car from as so many would do for others to allow him to enter and compete with his own style we've seen before. Adding in hot cartoon girls helps, but really it shows the dedication of wanting something special to come out of your time and make a clean piece of artwork for others to enjoy, its cool work so enjoy guys.

8: Doodlers Muscle Machine Chevelle, Wild Ride Illustration
This Dood, lol keeps banging out awesomely cool illustrations with the devious manipulations of the real lines of the car yet so distorted and warped you know it's a Chevelle and want to pull it off the screen and hand it to your kid to play with. Many artists have gotten a huge break like the original master of die cast Rohan Day and his Hot wheels collaborations to probably make him a fortune, Doodler also has the same caricature studies to pull off something along these lines.
Doodlers Muscle Machine Chevelle
Take time to drop in a vote and choose what you like best, this is fun and games, all voters are welcome to sit in on this and see the outcome. Enjoy !!

Figured I would pop in, again Only Racing awesome job on the illustrations. Also, wanted to say good luck to everyone and hope we see many more great entries next month.
They all really look great, I just love what all of you can do with your art. Cole
Great work!!!!!! you guy's rock!!!! Hope to see yall do some rat rods soon..
I hope you guys are having fun voting and seeing the entries for this month, I'd like to clarify one part since I didn't read correctly is that Artist "pigjamelectric" was allowed use of Rambo The Dogs Photo for redraw and both now have the best of both worlds, art and photo.
Now vote away and have fun guys, this is great stuff for a hot July Month.
I'd also like to add that I've been "Advance Tagging" your images on my photobucket account to see if the images show up in various searches and they pretty much do, hot rod art, hotrodders art contest, cool cartoons, drag racing art and many more. I'm new to all of this so I hope some of your friends will find an image you made on a bunch of search engines.
Just stopped by to say good luck to everyone ......... another great month of artwork. I think NEW INTERIORS idea of rat rods is a good one for a future contest....
Well I really didn't mean to enter that sketch I did as a teenager of my first car with a goofy paint scheme, in a contest with such great art and artists, but ohh well, lol.
But few things were true on my next car. My second car, an 80 cutlass was rollin on keystone classics, and It was the first car I ever painted. Wasn't long after I got it that I was sanding it down, learning to apply bondo to some dents, andd changed the factory baby blue color to I believe it was called ford midnight blue (think theres a pic of that one in my gallery). No goofy paint scheme on it though, at least not long. I had first painted it with a red stripe kinda like the monte ss style stripe and didn't like it, so sanded it back down and painted it again.
Outstanding job once again this month guys.
Nice entries by everyone. I had to take a second look when I came to Doodlers sketch. Nice job man you got my vote!
I like how the blower is trying to squeeze out of that hood.
Once again I salute OnlyRacing for the descriptions of the artwork!
This one's been really close guys, congrats, it's all great stuff and the next day or so will determine a winner I think, so many close ones to call.
Here's to the next champ of the Hotrodders.com art contest for August, Please keep in mind alot have been asking about "Rat Rods" when making your decisiions for a theme or subject coming up, we want another great turnout.
Sincerely Mark
Why mess with what worked right?

I picked up my 1911R1 at Gander Mountain today that I put on lay-away. What was sweet is that Gander gave me five $20 coupons that can't be used until this Sunday.
You guessed it! Gonna' buy me some ammo to feed the girl this Sunday.

Good deal. Let us know how it performs for you. Defiitely an intrigueing 1911. Sample I checked out had a very smooth slide to frame fit and I like the features they put on it being something of a minimalist.
I looked at these and other similar 1911s recently. I think the Remington is the best Milspec type model.
Ship, you liked the Remington over the Springfield Mil-Spec? Anything in particular you liked better?
I'm with Shipwreck...I like the Remington over the SA Mil-Spec...the ones I've compared side-to-side have a better finish on the Remington, and better slide-to-frame fit. I owned an R-1 for awhile, but after getting my Ed Brown Special Forces, the R-1 would have just sat in the safe, so I found someone to give it a good home...
Have any of you shot the Remington? I would like to hear how it does (after a good clean/lube) for the first 300-500. Most RIA 1911's I've seen look like a hammered turd, but they shoot great.
I would love to run into someone at the range that has the Remington. They do know how to make guns.
I had a tour of the Factory in Ilion NY this summer, and was pretty impressed with everything including the Custom Shop..
They would not give a tour of the pistol plant though as the plans for the 1911 platform appear to be top secret..
What i gathered from that was there are future plans for both a compact version as well as nicer more expensive versions, and maybe even a competition model... so stay tuned..
Eli :smt1099
I like the Remington over the regular Springfield GI model. The Mil Spec is 1 step over the plain GI model - but I used the "mil spec" terminology, because that generally refers to the GI type model.... The vertical rear serrations, arched mainspring, plain grip safety and plain thumb safety, etc.
The finish seems nicer on the Remington, and the parts seem tighter. The trigger is also better. I will admit that the trigger often times sucks on the low end Springfield models.
Now, the actual Springfield Milspec model (1 step over the GI model) versus Remington... If you plan to never change anything, I think I'd get the Remington. The stock sights on the Remington are also better than the ones on the Springer.
If you plan to start changing parts out over time - like a skeletonized trigger, beavertail grip safety, extended thumb safety... THEN, I'd probably get the Springfield. They are a well respected gun to build off of, with a forged frame.
In the 1990s, I had a Springfield Milspec, and I had a lot of work done to it after owning it a while. However, at the time, I was satisfied with the regular grip safety, and I never had it changed to a beavertail grip safety. Now, all these years later, however - I just don't like the standard grip safety.
I even looked at and held a ton of 1911s at a large Houston gun show in Nov 2010, and I have been too spoiled by my two higher end 1911s. There is always something that I can find fault with now on most of the lower end models. So, I don't think I could like a 1911 without a beavergrip safety.
But, a lot of guys like the LOOK of a no frills 1911. And, I will admit that they look cool with the vertical serrations, and the no nonsense parts (not all the cosmetic changes so many people want now-a-days).
I have been looking into the Remington and Springfield GI.
I was leaning towards the R1. This thread is making me lean more to the R1.
Any other info or caparison would be appreciated.
Between those 2 specific models, I'd get the remington. Yous tart off with a good gun with usable sights right out of the box.
I am a big Springfield fan - but those GI sights are not very user friendly. They are just tony little black bumps.
After much gnashing of teeth and relentless bargaining, I finally got my 1911 Remington R1 for just over 6 bills. Dang, the thing looks so good in the case I almost hate to take it out! So I will grab some hardball and give a range report sometime this coming week. If it shoots as good as it looks and feels I will indeed be a happy man.

The R1 and GI are on the same level to me as I dont mind the small iron sights. I love my GI to death and SA customer service is unbeatable. But why not just get a SA MilSpec? Better sights than both and a lowered ejection port.
For me it was the fit and finish of the Remington, as well as the price. I wanted a 1911 that was "different" than the Colts and Springers I have fired over the years. And since Remington made the 1911 during WW2, the lineage is good historically. Gun guy buys don't always make sense :rolleyes:, it is just a personal thing, and to each his own!
PS...I will attempt to post some pics in the near future.
I am a HUGE springfield fan, and have owned many over the years. But GI vs Remington - I think the Remington is more gun for the money.
Turns out I will not get to the range till next Thursday to shoot my Remi. Had to get my buddies lined up cause it ain't much fun alone!

I'm a big fan of the digital home, even if the phrase itself has slipped from popular use lately. I cannot wait for it to happen to me -- I'll have connected displays (does the word TV even apply anymore?) throughout the house, including the ones in my pocket, in my lap, or otherwise within reach at all times. Those displays will all speak IP, the language of the Internet, and they'll all speak to each other as well, allowing me to control one display -- say, my TV -- with another one -- my Droid X, for example. There's so much product innovation yet to come in the digital home that I love my job.
I'm not the only one who sees it, of course. If you follow the excited announcements from TV makers and electronics retailers like Best Buy, the next TV we all buy will be a connected TV (defined as a TV set with its own Internet connection whether wired or wireless and some kind of software platform), a critical first step toward that future digital home nirvana.
Connected TVs are going to be a big deal; to understand why, read my latest report which includes US survey results about connected TVs along with a forecast for connected TV penetration through the middle of the decade. It just went live to Forrester clients last week. In the report, we show that thanks to the enthusiasm on the supply side, connected TVs are going to sell like proverbial hotcakes. By 2015, we forecast that more than 43 million US homes will have at least one. That's a remarkable number, especially considering that we entered 2010 with fewer than 2 million connected TV homes in the US.

Essence is defined as "the intrinsic nature of something" and "the most important ingredient; the crucial element". Isn't it time you discovered the essence of New Orleans?
The Essence Music Festival is the event in the United States that showcases African American musicians and talent. Some of the biggest names in the industry will be in New Orleans for Essence. Aretha Franklin, Fantasia, The Stylistics, and Charlie Wilson are just the beginning of the list.
During the festival, New Orleans' Central Business District will be transformed into a fabulous outdoor marketplace. Writers and artists will be there, as will chefs. It would be wise to bring your appetite. This is a unique opportunity to see a wide sampling of the culture and talent of the African Diaspora in one place.
The 2012 Essence Music Festival takes place at the New Orleans Mercedes-Benz Superdome on July 6-8. That may seem like a long time from today, but it will be here sooner than you think. It's worth preparing now: make travel plans, find a New Orleans Bed and Breakfast, and get your tickets to the Essence Music Festival.
For a complete lineup and tickets, please visit Essence Festival.

"These are better than expected. I didn't want to spend a lot and therefore went with a postcard and they are really cute. Nice paper quality. Very pleased. I always turn to Tiny Prints for my printing needs and am never disappointed."
"Our card arrived on time and it looks very nice. The paper quality is good, the design too and we had to change our order and we received all the attention we needed."
"Ordered 100 of these moving announcements in the navy color. We love them!! They are beautiful and elegant looking, unlike other moving announcements that I looked at. It is a postcard which we like. Highly recommend these."
"The bluish background color had a more retro feel when I received it, but it looked great. Have had nice feedback from friends who received it."
"The cards were excellent and artistically appealing. It was a quick way to notify a lot of people and saved us a lot of time."

Hello Ladies and Gents! I've been viewing the large number of varients on this site for some time now. I have finally finished my own costume and would like you all to see it. I'm going to be uploading more photos when I can so that you can see the jet pack too (It is a Jango arena pack FYI). Constructive critisism is welcome.
P.s. I may be interested in selling it.

Video: 1,400 days since Senate Democrats' last budget
posted at 12:26 pm on February 27, 2013 by Guy Benson
John Boehner lost his temper yesterday and demanded that Senate Democrats "get off their ass" and pass an actual bill detailing their sequester replacement plan. His artful turn of phrase could also apply to the upper chamber's ongoing dereliction of budgetary duty:
"What we haven't know for nearly four years is what they're for, because they've refused to put their plans for the country down on paper and actually vote for them."
This clip doesn't exactly scream "high production value," but it makes a useful, digestible argument. Pounding the desk about "1,400 days" may break through to some people, but using various cultural markers to offer perspective is a smart play. (Wait, they haven't done their job since before the iPad was invented? William and Kate weren't even engaged yet? etc). Some Democrats are claiming they'll finally introduce, mark-up and pass a budget for FY 2014. We'll see. "No budget, no pay," certainly has an urgent ring to it.

This week Volkswagen is holding a technical briefing in Wolfsburg detailing the revolutionary nature of its new modular transverse matrix (MQB). Our own Jamie Vondruska is in Germany and will be filing a full report on this but in the meantime we wanted to share a press release that corresponds to the event he's attending and details some very cool aspects about this new hardware that will underpin the new Golf 7, Audi A3, Audi TT, etc., etc.
[source: Volkswagen AG]
Wolfsburg, GERMANY: This year, the Volkswagen Group will be introducing the Modular Transverse Matrix the German acronym is MQB (Modularer Querbaukasten) for the Volkswagen, Audi, KODA and SEAT brands. The MQB strategy represents a turning point in the design and production of future automobiles with transverse-mounted engines. The Modular Transverse Matrix standardises many vehicle component parameters across brands and vehicle classes. At the same time, it offers access to new technologies.
The MQB extends from the A0 to the B segment. At the Volkswagen brand, for example, it covers the following models: Polo, Beetle, Golf, Scirocco, Jetta, Tiguan, Touran, Sharan, Passat and Volkswagen CC. In the future, all of these models could theoretically be produced on the same assembly line despite their different wheelbases and track widths. It will be possible to produce MQB models of different brands together. The first new vehicles to be produced based on the MQB will be the successor to the Audi A3 and the next generation Golf.
One of the prominent characteristics of the Modular Transverse Matrix is the uniform mounting position of all engines. Two systems integrated in the MQB strategy which play a key role here are the modular petrol engine system (MOB) with the new EA211 engine series (60 to 150 PS) this range includes the worlds first four-cylinder engine with cylinder deactivation (ACT) and the modular diesel engine system (MDB) with the new EA288 engine series (90 to 190 PS). In one fell swoop, the new engine series will reduce the Groups engine and gearbox variants in the MQB system by approximately 90 per cent, without a detrimental effect. On the contrary; in addition to standardising conventional internal combustion engines, the MQB also enables an identical mounting position for all current alternative drive concepts without limitations from natural gas and hybrid versions to the pure electric drive. Volkswagen has already announced the launch of the latter within the MQB in 2013 in the new Golf Blue-e-Motion.
The MQB opens up new opportunities at the Volkswagen Group, allowing it to produce high-volume and niche models at the highest quality and extremely competitive costs over the long term and worldwide vehicles that are individually tailored to the requirements of very diverse markets such as Europe, China and America, as well as emerging markets such as India. In parallel, the Volkswagen Group will significantly reduce vehicle weights with the launch of the first MQB model series and will introduce 20 innovations in the areas of safety and infotainment, which until now were reserved for higher vehicle segments.
They include the new multicollision brake; after an initial collision, it helps to reduce the intensity of secondary collisions by automatically initiated braking. Very recently, ADAC awarded this system the Yellow Angel award for innovations. The multicollision brake will be standard equipment in the next generations of the Audi A3 and the Golf.
Within the Group, the MQB developed under the auspices of the Volkswagen brand is supplemented by the Modular Longitudinal System (MLB) from Audi, the Modular Standard System (MSB) with Porsche as the competence centre and finally the New Small Family the most compact vehicle model series with the Volkswagen up!, SEAT Mii and KODA Citigo.
One indicator of the pioneering significance of the modular systems strategy and the innovative potential realised by these new vehicle and production architectures is that Volkswagen was selected as one of five finalists for the Innovation Award of the German Economy The Worlds First Innovation Award® for its Modular Transverse Matrix. This prestigious award for outstanding technical, scientific and intellectual achievements has been awarded annually since 1980 by the Economics Club of Rhein-Main and since 2011 in conjunction with the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. On 11 February, the prize winners will be announced at the Palais 'Thurn und Taxis' in Frankfurt, Germany, by Günther Oettinger, EU Commissar for Energy.

Hey TDH!
I've been a member on the forums for a couple of years now, but haven't really delved into this site untill this past few weeks.
I'm From Melbourne, Australia, and have my EIB with a ESB TK, 501st number TK4258.
My next prject is my ESB Boba. I've been looking through a lot of this amazing site, and becoming more and more humbled and overwealed by the talented people who have been making these insane looking costumes, and the maker's that supply the specific parts.
My main question at the moment is a descrepency I have found in ESB VS ROTJ pertaining to the U.S Divers Belt. I've seen screen shots in ESB where there is no Diver's belt, but most of the ESB Costume's on this site have the Diver's belt. Can someone let me know if the Diver's belt is definatly part of the ESB Costume? as I'm trying to make a screen accurate costume.
Thanks guys, looking forward to getting to know everyone here at TDH!

The British government has been pushing for power to hold suspected "terrorists" for up to 42 days without charging people with a crime. It was a key part of Gordon Brown's legislative program to fight terrorism. His plan went down to a crushing defeat in the House of Lords by an overwhelming vote of 309 to 118. The defeat was among the largest for any Labor proposal in twenty years. Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith accepted the defeat and told fellow Labor MPs the proposal was dead. However, she continued insisting the plan was the correct one to fight terrorism. Liberals and Conservatives united to defeat the bill although they did receive support from some Labor peers.
The fight against terrorism is not won by tearing down constitutional guarantees. Democracy best fights terrorism by retaining the basic democratic principles that have so long endured to protect the rights of those who are accused of crimes.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Mojo is 9 weeks and still gets carried outside, but walks back in with me. We're down to getting up about 5:30 in the morning with bedtime around 10. I'm happy with that!
|I'm seeing that mine is learning how to go potty but he's also very quiet. He lets me lead him outside. He's 8 weeks right now.
|Good news
|I'm happy to report we woke up once last night!! Holy cow, does an almost full night's sleep feel good! You were completely right on the little guy playing me! Thank you so much!!
I have not got a flirt pole yet, but that's an excellent idea. Right now he's still small enough I can pull the toy by one end and he chases the other. I was lucky enough to find them half off and buy two get one free this weekend so I stocked up, they don't last long around here.
My other dog is in sit means sit, but he can't start with them until he is 4 months old, but they have group several times a week. I'm going to look for a puppy class for him tomorrow and see what I can find. He shows NO fear, today he ran to the edge of the yard to "chase off" a husky across the street. I think he sees a full grown GSD when he looks in the mirror!
Fortunately only ONE of those black 'devils' is mine . Odin (the male) is my friend Sue's. Just happened that we each ended up with puppy from the same litter! Will say it makes things more fun and easy cause they are exactly the same age/size. But you can see they have no issues with tumbling around with the other pups in class.
I'm not as much of a fan of the Petsmarts for anything but general socialization. The private classes and clubs I have found to work better for me.
Good luck and keep up the good work!
Have you gotten a flirt pole made up yet??
It can definitely be exhausting! My 9 week old puppy needed to go out at 12:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. for about 3 weeks after I got him. I tried the withholding water strategy, but it didn't work. He would pee and go to the the outside empty water bowl and cry. When I gave him water, he was genuinely thirsty.
When he turned 12 weeks old, I set an alarm for 2:30 and took him out on my schedule. I didn't want him deciding when to go out by whining.
On Saturdays I would take a morning nap and an afternoon one to try to catch up on my sleep. I am so much more rested now that we get up at 5:30 every morning. Eventually, puppy gets on a schedule.
I still come home at lunch to let him out to potty and get a drink of water. GSD puppies are very labor intensive, but it eases up. He is 18 weeks now. I've never had a puppy that was so much work! I can tell, though, that he is deeply bonded to me and he is way too smart for his own good!!
I'll definitely look into a good puppy class, that video looks fun! I've never heard anything good about the petsmart or petco classes, but luckily they aren't the only game in town.
I've been trying to keep him very busy when I can. I took two weeks off work to work with him and get a head start. He pretty much goes everywhere with me and I've taken him as many safe places as I can.
Right now he LOVES the flat, no-stuffing toys and will chase them as long as I'll move it. He also will do about anything for food. Today we just started working with come and sit.
Thanks again for the tips and the videos, those are some cuties you have on your hands!
The first few nights are always hard as everyone gets used to the new routine . But coming up with best schedule that works for everyone is key.
The 'obedience' that works best for such a young puppy is the training described --> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...s-puppies.html Just adding a car ride and visiting friends can help mentally and physically wear the puppy out too
Puppy classes usually rotate thru only every 8 weeks or so, and we need to start BEFORE our puppies get all their shots. So calling up and signing up for any good ones in your area is a great help for everything 'puppy' the next few months
|Thank you Maggie! I didn't realize I was making things worse by taking him out every time he whined. I will definitely follow your suggestions as I would be SO happy for more than an hour sleep at a time! We just started working on basic obedience today, so that's what I'm doing before bed since I know that really wears him out. I usually give his dinner around 6, and we go to bed around 9-10. He really is doing pretty good at house training, the nights have just been long and exhausting. He hasn't had any BM accidents since his first night home, and still has a few pee accidents here and there, but those are mostly when he's in his ex-pen and I'm not paying as good of attention as I should.

"This woodland creatures on the card are delicate and beautifully drawn. The colors are reminiscent of a vintage print. The card process was easy to navigate and covered all the bases for the party."
"I was impressed with how nice the regular cardstock was...no need to upgrade...the colors and images were exactly as shown...delivery was a day ahead of promise date...I will definitely use Tiny Prints for all my printing needs!"
"I got the pearl finish and boy was it worth the extra money!!! Beautiful invite! Can't say enough. Great weight to the invite and sooo pretty. Perfect for that mommy-to-be who is not super girly and/or not into pink everything! I ordered this invite during the Xmas season and still got it within days. I would definitely recommend both TinyPrints and this invitation."

Wednesday, September 5, 2012
While listening to pundits purring about the footballing talents of the great Barcelona side of recent times, some put their emphasis on the incredible work they do when they haven't actually got the ball. Looking back at our own trophy-winning squads down the years, the importance of that side to the game cannot be stressed highly enough.
Sunday's game at Anfield was a good example of our concentration and application to that aspect of our performance being so prominent. The result was there for all to see. A simply fine day out.
My last piece finished discussing our potential destinations in the League Cup and Champions League as well as the final hours of the transfer window.
The latter proved quiet for us Gooners of course and the others, interesting if not exactly my personal choice on all aspects!
Highfield Road is a ground I have visited many times down the years but we are yet to enjoy a trip to Coventry's new Ricoh Arena. An away day there would have been ideal on a personal note but instead the Sky Blues come to north London for a tie that will once again be a good test for some of our younger talent.
The European tour sees us first head to France and a new destination for us Gooners. The city of Gelsenkirchen then plays host, Schalke away being a fixture we have enjoyed before.
Finally we head to Greece once again and a city we have been lucky enough to visit many times down the years. Once again I won't be too disappointed if by the time we play the Greek champions in early December, something from it won't be essential for progression.
All that gave us plenty to talk about as we made our early start on Sunday morning, destination Anfield. An easy journey made for our usual routine for this fixture and consequently we all entered the away end in fine spirits, the PMT rife as always seems the case with this game!
We made a confident start I felt, looking sharp with the ball and extremely determined without it. Our hosts' quick attacking players were giving us one or two problems however, but after maybe the first 15 minutes I felt we handled this particular threat superbly.
Our solid-looking defence has been discussed at length but it was the goal we all longed for and when Lukas smashed home in front of the Kop after a lightning-quick counter-attacking move a jostle of massive proportions ensued! It was some release in the away end believe me and matched by all the millions of Gooners watching all around the globe I'm sure.
I find it very difficult to pick out individual performances on the day as for me, every single player was involved in what was a powerful display. I do agree with most, however, that Abou was absolutely immense. More of the same please!
Santi's first goal as a Gooner was no more than we deserved and put the icing on a very satisfying cake. Three massive points, no goals conceded, unbeaten so far.
The dreaded early-season international break is upon us now. Fingers crossed boys and girls, fingers crossed. You don't need me to tell you what for!
The Premier League new boys Southampton come to London N5 next. No game is easy these days, this we are all well aware of. Another powerful show is essential to build on our start.
And then of course it's off to the south of France. I do hope the shades and suntan lotion will be required!
