Same boat. Yes. Hmmm. Well, I certainly WAS, but time passes and things change. Sometimes obstacles seem impossible to overcome, but if you set a course and hold fast, time passes and great mountains wear away. Oh crap. Too much cryptic **** doesn''t say anything. Okay, here''s the readers digest version. I returned from Viet Nam a very damaged man and wanted nothing more than to integrate in society and get on with my life, not knowing that was not to be. One problem after another left me standing on the beach staring at the ocean and wanting only to have a sailboat and cruise away to a new life and adventure in warm places. I was in Boston. But life wasn''t having it. I was now divorced with kids, drinking and drugging WAY over the top, and living in desperate isolation in cheap apartments on the coast, staring out the window at the sea. I started reading. Magazines, then books. I went to the boat shows and wandered around, looking and learning. I stopped drinking and drugging (don''t ask - impossible to relate, but it''s been 19 years now) and bought a 22 foot O''Day that I promptly moved onto. It was hopeful. I had to press my back against the cabinroof to pull up my pants, then kneel on the cabin sole to button them up. After six months, I traded the O''Day and $5500 for a 29'' Warner Cadet with full headroom. After two more years, I bought a salvage fiberglass hull and began building my present boat. The kids were growing and needed college and other things. I accidently started a yacht service in Boston so I could make money to keep going on my own boat, but that turned into a life-draining mind-crushing exercize in human futility, along with having a six-month winter season of frozen death, but enough of that joy. I closed the doors and moved to Naples, Florida, where I went to work for another yacht service. I paid off all the old bills, shipped my unfinished boat down to Naples and struggled once again to get up and running. Two years ago I got this bad news from the VA. Seems they gave me a serious disease during an operation and I needed to stop working and get near Tampa (the big VA hospital) for treatment. This kinda sucked, but at least I could get back to work on the boat and move aboard, which I did. I also looked up a bunch of people out there cruising and started reading their websites, sort of living vicariously through their adventures. There are DEFINATELY some good people out there having great fun. Lunatics, of course, but our kind of lunatics, living our kind of dream. And there are HUNDREDS of them. This past insane hurricane ravaged summer, I made it to Palmetto in my boat. I ran aground for two days and weathered some scary damn storms, but I made it. Next thing you know, the VA says my disease is in remission, I mean like, fading away and healing without treatment, so now I''m on a watch list instead of entering treatment. I found this much better situation in the coolest little live-aboard marina you can imagine, in Cortez, Florida, right on the intercoastal. I''m finishing up working on my boat and gathering charts and shopping for depth sounders and GPS''s and such. The sunsets are great and the future is exciting. I know what the view is like from the shore where you stand. Find all the hope and joy you can by getting books, videos, movies (Riddle of the Sands is great) and watch websites for updates to keep the dream alive. You don''t have to sit on your hands and despair. Also, there is this possibility. Try to wrangle a situation where you can get a little scrap sailboat like an O''Day or a McGregor, something you can put in the back yard and work on a little at a time. It''s a form of therapy, a self-promise that you have something inside that needs attention. It avoids despair. If you can fix it up and sell it, more the better. Get a bigger one and build yourself a cruising kitty. You can always spend it on college for the kids if the time comes, but meanwhile, you''ll walk around smiling, and that''s all you really need.

My best friend gave me some advice when we were still young. He said, "You need to get sex,kids marriage and all that kind of stuff out of the way while you are young so that when you are fifty you can go hunting and fishing. (Back then fifty seemed old.)

My past was much like yours even sailing the 12 meter yacht and then I found myself in a relationship that took me away from the sea. This went on for several years then was gone and another lady came along a school teacher from Colorado but lived in the Albqurque area for 23 years having never seeing the ocean she was interested and I took her to California and she saw it for the first time.The next time was Destin Florida great beaches and the next was when we sailed our boat to Florida this summer and now she just wants that peace again even the storms did not stop her from becoming compleatly lost in the lure of the sea. We will be in New Mexico for Christmas and then visiting friends in Colorado you can not help but love the west it is beautiful. This is what I wanted but she was willing to try it after a few days of sun and being able to just wear what you want or not. A nice evening with wine a good steak or fresh fish on the grill and some bright moonlit passage some dancing in a beach bar aand the warm breeze and laughter in time you can only be drawn by that sort of thing. My wife gave up her house just off main street a restored 1903 home beautiful to look at warm and friendly place flower garden and all that,friends and family have to write or call and most of them will not come to visit. She is bugging me to head out again this time to Central America go figure.

Sounds like sailing is in your blood. There is nothing wrong with that. Sailing and the joy of it can always be a part of your life....and you don''t have to be living aboard for that to happen. You can enjoy talking about it, planning it, reading about it and sharing your love for sailing with your family. And when they feel its draw as you do, introduce them to it.
One poster suggested a trailer sailor that you could take to a nearby lake. Great idea. Make sure it is a roomy, stable boat so that you give your spouse the best introduction to life aboard that you can (nothing worse than bobbing around in a cramped ugly thing getting seasick. Make it a GOOD experience. That will be step 1.
Then make a life plan. Another poster suggested vacationing on the water while looking for somewhere near the sea that you might relocate to. Another great idea. Call that step 2.
Then move up to a serious boat. A comfortable cruiser. Charter, crew or buy. Go with friends. Vacation in the islands.
If you want to share your love of sailing with your family and get them to want to share your dream...you are going to have to give them the same kind of experience that you had. Some experience they will love. Cherish and remember. Something transforming. Like the experiences you had.
It is not about negotiating or taking turns. It is about showing them something truly magical. Then they will catch the spirit you have and go where you want to go.
No matter what though, don''t wish your life away. Enjoy life and be happy every day, no matter where you are or what you are doing. Revel in the experience. Learn to be happy and then you can figure out how to change the lives of those in your family.
Hope this helps

Belliegirl, I was timed out at the station and had to rush my thought, so let me expand a bit before wishing you well.
You seem to have serious commitments where you are so I would say the first thing is to embrace and honor the dreams that brought you there. For myself, a sip of wine or one lick on an icecream cone isn''t very satisfying. I would say protect and keep the sailing dream that is at present stifled. Life is short and yet we do have time to use. In my case I was drawn to sailing in the 70''s and have had a lifelong interest, but because of committments like yours and a lack of time and money I never even considered that I might actually have a boat and act on the dream. Now that I am in my fifties I find I live in a state of perfect freedon that I never expected planned for or would have been able to appreciate 20 years ago when I really ached for it. As for my sailing dream I joined a sailing club for a year and now own a balboa 8.2 which stirs my heart, but my wife''s dream is cycle touring. We expect to be able to sail later into life than we will be able to ride so touring comes first. The surprising thing for me is that cycling is fulfilling a lot of the expectations I had for sailing. The desire I had as a younger man for adventure has grown into a desire for a radically simple life that would be literally illegal ashore. Illegal unless one is a bicycle nomad. Everything we need for comfort and happiness we carry on our bikes. It has become a joke with my wife that as we put on our helmets in the morning and get ready to ride I have to say "I think this is going to be a good day". And usually as we go through the last little routines of the day in our tent I have to say "hasn''t this been a great day". The longer we ride we meet people who have toured different routes and different countries and continents all over the world and the possibilities are so very attractive. I believe that someday we will put Quattro de Mayo back in the water but it is getting really hard to think about saying "I''m through riding".
I hope I''ve understood your appeal and have given something that is sympathetic and encouraging. I would say life is full of blessings so savor the ones you have, protect and cherish your dream and don''t ever pass on a chance to act.

I think you have the answer..."Only a mutual compassion and a shared spirit for challenging the sea can set a common course for the captain and his (her) first mate"...the hard part is putting it into practice.
anybody else in this boat
A spouse in need is a spouse in greed.
Cliche''s excused, marriage is an endless struggle for some common ground. So much has been written on the differences of sexes (what gives with Venus vs. Mars?) but no single person can calm the storm.
Only a mutual compassion and a shared spirit for challenging the sea can set a common course for the captain and his (her) first mate.
If I had the answer, my life would be better.
anybody else in this boat
belliegirl, first things first I say. Keep your spouse happy. My wife''s dream was to go cycle touring so I write from the public library in Las Cruces, NM. on a rest day. When we have finished our (projected) 18 month "circumnavigation" of the US by bicycle we will go back home, sell the house and take up MY dream.

After a testy and failed rezoning battle, Walmart is finally open on Parleys Way on Salt Lake City's east bench.
Although its grand opening is slated for Friday, the big-box retailer opened earlier this month for holiday shopping. The renovated building, once occupied by Kmart, also includes a grocery section and pharmacy, as well as merchandise Walmart is known for, said spokeswoman Delia Garcia.
Walmart lost its bid last year to rezone the property at 2705 E. Parleys Way. It would have allowed the Arkansas-based retailer to construct a new building that would have been smaller and more energy efficient than the 40-year-old Parleys Way structure it now occupies.
Vocal opponents and supporters turned out at Salt Lake City Planning Commission meetings. Some residents said they did not want big-box retail in their neighborhood. But others said they wanted the convenience Walmart brings with its large array of products.
In the end, planning commissioners voted 6-1 not to rezone the acreage, making known their distaste for big-box retail. The City Council upheld their recommendation.
The lone favorable vote for a Walmart rezone was cast by then-Planning Commissioner Charlie Luke. One year ago he was elected to the City Council and represents that area.
A smaller, more attractive building would have been better, Luke said. "It turned out in a way that I don't think anybody should be surprised."
Rezone or not, it was clear there would be a Walmart at that location, Luke said.
"Last year when the rezone failed, I talked to people who thought [Walmart] would pack up and go away," he said. "But they own the property and are entitled to be there."
Councilman Luke Garrott said he voted against the rezone because he doesn't believe Walmart, or any other big-box retailer, belongs at the site. Rather, he would like to see what he describes as a "walkable" commercial area with small, locally owned businesses, as is outlined in Salt Lake City's Master Plan.
"Walmart succeeds because of prices and convenience," he said. "But there are costs to local communities," he said referring to low-wage jobs and dollars that leave the state.
Council Chairman Soren Simonsen also voted against the rezone for similar reasons. But, nonetheless, he said the retailer will bring tax revenue into the city that most likely would have been lost to big-box retailers in Salt Lake County.
Simonsen maintained that refurbishing the existing building was an environmentally friendly thing to do because otherwise it would have ended up, piece by piece, at the landfill. "Using an existing building is a pretty green thing to do," he said.
Walmart will not be at the Parleys Way location forever, Simonsen said. He pointed to some economic models that suggest rising fuel costs will ultimately spell doom for big-box retailers who must ship merchandise around the country and around the globe.
"We'll be patient, and in the meantime, Walmart will conduct business."

YPSILANTI - The Eastern Michigan University Board of Regents granted promotions for 63 faculty members and tenure for 39 at its regular meeting June 15.
Probationary faculty under consideration for tenure are evaluated by standards provided in the Eastern Michigan University/Eastern Michigan University – American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Master Agreement. An interim evaluation reviews the applicant's instructional effectiveness and service. A full evaluation also reviews those two performance areas and the applicant's scholarly and/or creative activity. A series of favorable probationary evaluations and a favorable, final full evaluation leads to a recommendation for tenure.
Faculty who have served at least the requisite years in rank — instructor (two years), assistant professor (four or five years) and associate professor (five years) — and who apply for promotion are evaluated by standards provided by the EMU-AAUP Master Agreement and individual evaluation documents that have been established for each academic department. Evaluations and standards address three areas of review: instructional effectiveness, scholarly and/or creative activity and service. A favorable promotion review results in a recommendation for promotion.
Faculty who received both a promotion and were granted tenure are:

This guest post comes from Nicole Alley, who currently works in the Webteam. She is a geek at heart who loves taking photos.
Here in the ICT (Information Communications & Technology) Department, we work with plenty of digital stuff – telephones, computers, software, servers, video cameras, touch screens...you name it. So it was a refreshing change of pace when a group of us visited the Victorian Telecommunications Museum last month to revisit some of the old ways of communicating.
The museum is housed in the Telstra Hawthorn telephone exchange near Glenferrie Station and is managed by Stef Nowak and a group of volunteers who are passionate about preserving Australia's telecommunications heritage. The items come from both Telstra and the volunteer affiliate that manage the collection.
Ken Hoskins gave us a tour through the museum, where we learned about the history and technology of cables, insulators, phones, switchboards, talking clocks, exchanges and more.
Ken Hoskins guided us through the history of communication in Australia, from the first telephone to more recent technologies like this VOIP (voice over IP) phone.Image: Nicole AlleySource: Museum Victoria
There were, of course, telephones galore, showing the evolution of technology: wooden wall phones powered by two enormous batteries, where you had to turn the handle and speak to an operator; black rotary dialers that appear to be coming back in fashion; kids' phones in the shape of cartoon characters; public phones and phone booths; and the ubiquitous mobile phone (remember when they were the size and weight of a brick!?).
There's a certain charm to these old telephones.Image: Nicole AlleySource: Museum Victoria
A highlight was a morse code demonstration from Brian, John and Bob, members of the Victorian Morsecodian Fraternity who meet at the museum every week. They explained how morse code worked and reminisced about the days when they would hop on the red Post Master General bike and deliver the typed messages to their recipients, including some lottery winners. You can see John in action in the video below, turning our names into dits and dahs.
Download the Morse Code Demonstration video
We also met Bob Muir, who showed us the Violano Virtuoso that he is restoring for Museum Victoria. It's a cross between a violin and a piano, and is expected to go on display at Scienceworks next year. Can't wait to hear it!

It's fascinating to see the technology changing so rapidly. I wonder what our phones will look like and what we'll be able to do on them in another five years?

All I can say is that the new design for the rumored iPhone 5 (not 4S) has got my hopes up. If all we get is a 4s this year, I think this will be the first upgrade I pass on. (I tell myself this, but I will probably still get this damn thing on launch day, regardless)
Hmm, wonder why there were no Iphone 5 listed? Sure hope there is an iphone 5.

School Says "Jesus" Shirt is Hate Speech
A Canadian high school student was suspended for a week because wore a t-shirt promoting his Christian beliefs and he was told if he wears it again – he could be suspended for the remainder of the school year.
William Swinimer, a student at Forest Heights Community School in Nova Scotia, was punished for wearing a shirt that read, "Life is wasted without Jesus." The shirt is a reference to a passage of Scripture from the New Testament.
Swinimer told Fox News that he was told the shirt was a form of "hate talk."
"I've been told by my principal that it is hate talk and is disrespectful to other people's religions," Swinimer said. "She said it (the shirt) cannot be in school because people would get offended."
Nancy Pynch-Worthylake, the school board superintendent, told The Canadian Press that the wording on the shirt is "problematic."
"If I have an expression that says, 'My life is enhanced with Jesus,' then there's no issue with that, everybody is able to quickly understand that that's my opinion about my own belief," she told the newspaper. "If the shirt were to say, 'Without Jesus, your life is a complete waste,' then that's clear that it is an opinion aimed at somebody else's belief."
Swinimer confirmed that he had been disciplined a number of times for wearing shirts with religious references.
"I've found that they have dissed Christianity quite a bit," he said. "I do not want to be disrespectful of anybody else's religions. I don't want to put down anybody's opinions. All I want to do is stand up for rights and freedoms of Canadians."
The school does not have a dress code and Swinimer said students wear a variety of t-shirts. But he said for whatever reason, his Christian shirts seem to get him sent to the office.
"They treat other religions differently than they do Christianity," he said. "The staff and principal and school board have been very hostile toward Christianity."
But, he said, they promote other religions in the school.
"If they can pick on Christians in this school, what can they pick next?" he wondered. "Christianity in that school is not being treated the same way. I'm being discriminated against because of my religion."
Swinimer attends Jesus the Good Shepherd Church, a Pentecostal congregation in Nova Scotia. Pastor Varrick Day told Fox News he is proud of his young parishioner.
"I'm very proud he's standing up," Day said. "I think he's being bullied by the staff at the school and by the school board."
Day called the suspension outrageous and said he hoped it would awaken other Christians across the nation.
"It's not about the t-shirt," he said. "This is what our forefathers fought and died for – this freedom of speech and religion."
School officials told Swinimer that if he returned to school wearing the shirt, he would be suspended for the remainder of the school year.
"I plan to wear that t-shirt Monday, he said. "Not because I want to be disrespectful, not because I want to defy anybody, but because I believe this is the right thing to do."

High Altitude Society: Star Dancing Gala 2012
July 25, 2012
The Vail Valley Jet Center was transformed into a sight to behold for Monday night's Star Dancing Gala to benefit the Vail Valley Foundation's partner, The Youth Foundation. Large screens were hung all around the hangar so that the sold-out crowd of guests could view live streaming video of speakers and dancers. Inspirational words like aspire, create and imagine were lit up along the walls. "Imagine!" was the evening's theme, as in imagine how many lives are positively impacted by the long reaching arm of this education foundation; imagine the possibilities when children are encouraged to realize their dreams.
Vail Valley Foundation President Ceil Folz gave a warm welcome to all and thanked those involved with the partnering of the Vail Valley Foundation and The Youth Foundation. Master of Ceremonies, Brian Nolan did a fabulous job of keeping the evening lighthearted and fun. Nolan joked about his own dancing skills, "My wife, Pat Nolan and I have enjoyed dancing lessons twice in our life. Both of them were gifts from my wife and everyone knows how that works, so, you must go to the dancing lessons. And, I can tell you that we graduated both times, with Colin's blessing, as the class clowns."
And, then there were the dancers who took their lessons seriously. There were long, exhausting rehearsals for these volunteer local notable dancers and their professional dance partners. Taking the stage were Anne Roberts, Lynda Gustafson, Mark Kogan, Kelly Liken, Susan Frampton, Carl Colby and Luca Bruno. Dance instructor Colin Meiring shared, "These brave performers are not just dancing, they are each telling a story and bearing their souls … They have delved into the process of the 'arts.' They have learned what it is to share what they feel through dance."
Much gratitude was expressed to sponsors and supporters for inspiring the imagination of local children and opening the doors for continued success. Hosts Barbie Allen, Kathy Cole and Mary and David Davies were congratulated on their efforts to help make a huge difference in the lives of children. Can you imagine yourself in the spotlight on that stage in front of many hundreds of people dancing your heart out for a good cause?

I feel like an idiot because i cant seem to carry anymore. I've lost so many games and won so few i just don't know what to do. What the hell happened :/

"Not only did this person have an discusting attitude. She also took my requested champion from me, told me to "**** yourself learn to play another champion"(note this champions name is in my IGN)then absolutely refused to play with the team in game, and instead of helping defend refused to defend at all and simply sat AFK in base."
Report i had to write, what is wrong with people?
Watching the championship/LCS with my girlfriend... shes plat i'm silver. Lol i let my GF play on my account and she named her rune pages on my account "hijack" she scares me sometimes.

I've had unexpected results in games where I'd never even had any experience in the position before (carrying as jungle Eve, top Elise, etc). You shouldn't be stubborn~
You're asking why you are not winning games earlier, this could help you with that.
when people make this assumption.
This is the most irritating thing about this game is auto assumptions, Stop that.
You should never assume things of people but rather instead you should ask questions.
You think because I have a record with shyvana shes all that I can play? This simply isn't true. I can play all lanes competently.
Please don't make baseless assumptions, it creates animosity.
I can play every lane and every role competently with at least 3 champions.
Assuming things rather than asking questions only gives an attitude issue towards the person asking the question.
I can play every role, without issue. My performance is consistant across every role. I dont play ONLY Shyvana, I just play her a lot. She is approximately 58% of my played ranked games. Ahri being my 2nd most played champion as AP And AD.
The interesting thing is that say with Ahri my performance with Ahri regardless of AD or AP is similar. Regardless of AD or AP builds, my ahri game play is always very similar.
This is because reguardless of champion or position my performance is always consistant.
Just as an example.
I had never played nidalee before this
Yet my game play behavior no doubt already understood what i needed to do with said champion to match my consistant performance.
Don't assume what players know, Ask them questions.
My current champion pool
Jungle: Shyvana, Elise, Sejuani, Cassio, Nocturne*, Maokai*,
Top: Shyvana, Elise, Riven, Zyra, Riven*, Fiora*
ADC: Ahri, Quinn, Caitlyn, Jinx, Ashe*, Vayne*, Tristana*
Mid: Ahri, Elise, Cassio, Nidalee, Zyra, Lissandra
Support: Nami, Leona(well my diamond friend I duo'd with said i was good with her, still dont think i am).
*Denotes a champion i no longer play but could pick up and return to without issue.
My current focus pool is
Shyvana, Elise, Sejuani, Ahri, Nidalee, Quinn.
REguardless of role or lane, doesn't matter I can play "Fill"
Infact i will go and pick up a random champion and learn them, there are times where I will que up and refuse to jungle so i can get put into a different role to keep my skills sharp outside of the jungle.
I dont mean to be cocky or rude with this comment, but I am a record holder, so perhapse I might have some understanding of the game beyond an average player.
In the end, dont assume. ask questions.

I didn't assume.
Looking at your last 10 matches, 6 Shyvana picks. Recent statistics (past 7 days), 54% total games played on a jungle champ... also basically losing all your mid/support champ games... 'play all lanes competently'... yeah.
You can post screenies from over a MONTH ago, but it doesn't mean anything and has no context now. Sorry.
Of course, if you want to be defensive, so be it. Your elo, your problem. You're basically at rock bottom already (Silver V 0LP) so yea~~
Any champ you've played more than twice (other than Shyvana) has a losing record. Idk... you're maybe not as good as you think.
Record holder for most Shyvana games doesn't mean anything for game knowledge. You have 711 Wins in Ranked in S3 and are only Silver V. You've also got season 2 experience (a little, anyway). You are simply not improving.I dont mean to be cocky or rude with this comment, but I am a record holder, so perhapse I might have some understanding of the game beyond an average player.
Guess what? I only have 73 wins in Ranked season 3, and no prior experience (was a Coop vs AI player before Ranked). And I'm Gold V before I stopped playing (only cared for the Ranked rewards). I think that's more impressive than spamming Shyvana games, maybe? Not to be cocky or rude, of course~
p.s. you're only number 11 on the Shyvana list btw.

i can see why you are unable to carry games.
also to provide some insight
what the **** are you building
sure, you're in silver, i can play sona mid and stomp, but what the hell, leave that to the smurfs.
build properly, fix your rune pages, masteries don't matter much but those are bad as well, reduce your champion pool and stop being so damn defensive.

For a simple reasons i'd say you don't play agressive enough.
Also Candy.
Stop assuming every gamer is a male. I'm female, as is(obviously) my Gf.
I had a diamond 3 friend whom liked me duoing with me because he said i was a phenominal support. He asked me to duo with him.
I'm not trying to defend myself here, but at the same time you all arent answering the question I stated in the first place.
@runes and masteries comments. I changed them constantly, I try different variations.
The BT Trinity zyra is just an off build I like to play. dont pay much mind to that.
I cant stand playing normals because people in normal games will AFK at the slightest reason or play without the intent to win too often. Everytime i go back to a normal game I am reminded why i never play normals.
And as I said before.
Stop assuming things, ask questions instead.

You asked why you can't carry. We answered. You're just not listening~~
I didn't get to Gold by myself. I had my bf and friends who helped mi out alot with advice (plats/diamonds/challenger). I listened, that's why I rose. It's your choice if you want to listen to advice or not, you have access to your "gf and high elo friends" as well as good players here on the forums as well like Candy to advise you.
p.s. I couldn't care if you're male, female or a cat behind the computer. I'm female too, and it doesn't matter.
The problem is that advice is not one size fits all. my GF has a different insight than you and you guys have a different insight than her. The moral of the story is that asking questions is a better idea.
PS @ female male issue. I generally use genderless pronouns until i know someones gender. I dont agree with using male pronouns as default because it only feeds the notion that every gamer is a dude.

All I know is I have 1/10th your wins and less than 10% the number of games than you in ranked, yet I am a whole tier higher than you. I've been through the slog through silver and I'm just saying what I found useful to get through it.
Most people who have "gf"a are guys btw. You are the one misleading us and being ambiguous.

Arsène Wenger believes the winners of the Champions League have the right to defend their trophy regardless of their league position.
Chelsea currently occupy sixth place in the Premier League - a position which would not usually see them qualify for the tournament - but would be entitled to defend the trophy should they win Europe's biggest prize.
That would effectively make fourth place a Europa League position, but Wenger says clubs must respect the qualification rules regardless of the repercussions.
"It is right the Champions League winners have the right to defend the trophy," said the Frenchman. "That it takes the fourth place is unfortunate. Ideally you would like to combine the two.
"The team who finish fourth have fought the whole season and cannot get into the Champions League. But I find it right that the winners have the right to defend the trophy.
"At the moment, a team who has won the Champions League has always finished in the top four of their league - apart from Liverpool one year maybe. We would not be happy but they are the rules and we have to accept them. We cannot change the rules just because it is us.
"We have to cope with situation now and to win our games, it is as simple as that - not to start to calculate. But everybody said it would be a Spanish final in the Champions League and it could be an English-German final."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Carl Jenkinson admits adapting to life in the Premier League has been a "steep learning curve" but believes the experience has made him a stronger person.
The 20-year-old defender was playing on loan at non-league Eastbourne Borough eight months before his move to Arsenal last June.
It was a rapid rise for the right back and while he admits he took some time to adapt, he is satisfied with how his first season at the Club has gone.
"I didn't start how I would have liked to, but an honest assessment would be that as I have progressed, got more minutes under my belt and trained with the boys I definitely feel like I have improved a lot," Jenkinson told Arsenal Player.
"It was a very steep learning curve for me. I believed I was capable of playing at the highest level, and sometimes it is about getting seen by the right people at the right time.
"I have had some tough times but I feel like I have come out of it a bigger and better person, and a better player.
"In a football career you are going to have ups and downs and tough times, but people have told me it is about how you respond to those tough times that will make or break you as a footballer."
One of the toughest challenges for Jenkinson came at Old Trafford in August, when he was sent off on just his second Premier League start.
"It was all a little bit of a blur," he said. "It was tough day for me and the Club and it was very hard to swallow.
"We had played Udinese in midweek and I felt I had done quite well. That was a massive high, so to go from that to Old Trafford was strange. It happened so quickly.
"It was a disappointing day for me and it took me a while to get over. It was my first taste of a tough result, but things like that make you stronger, and build you as a man and a character."
Despite that experience, Jenkinson made major strides forward over the following months and featured in the memorable victories against Chelsea and Tottenham.
"It has been a real rollercoaster," he said. "I have had some tough times and some fantastic times. Chelsea, Spurs and Udinese are games I will never forget.
"It is my first season as an Arsenal player and games like the one at Stamford Bridge were just fantastic. You don't score five goals there very often so that will stay in the memory for a long time.
"Overall I am relatively pleased [with his first season]. I know I have an awful lot to build on, and a lot to improve on. But I have got more in myself to show people, so that is my aim."

Actually, I made this design months ago (last August, according to the time stamp), as part of a test-project to teach myself how to do more complex half-toning (right after I learned the fire/flame effects), and this was the first derby that it really fit in. Even the one last week was a couple of months old (and I've got nothing left in the cupboard with flame effects in it).

I do appreciate the feedback, and I'm always trying to learn new techniques. I've only been doing and real vector artwork the past year and a half, and have started taking a short course in converting drawings into vectors, and better techniques.

On July 27, 2010, Parallax Capital Partners announced that it was acquiring Daptiv, a SaaS PPM vendor. Forrester customers who are current Daptiv customers or are considering Daptiv as a PPM vendor should not be deterred. As a $20 million vendor, Daptiv provided a strong work group for project portfolio management, performing well at the departmental or divisional level, but had limited capabilities in areas that were attractive to enterprisewide implementations, including functionality (i.e., resource management and financial project management) and ability to scale development or support - a typical problem for smaller vendors. Prior to the acquisition, the company had started down the path toward enterprise viability, but the vendor was still seen as best suited to small to medium-sized standalone implementations.
Acquisition by capital investment firms can mean prepping a company for sale, but with Parallax operating Daptiv as a wholly owned subsidiary, Daptiv's future looks much more positive. Having Parallax's backing, the vendor will now be able to:

Balanced Attack, Defense Spark Sixth-Straight Home Win
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay placed four players in double figures and clamped down defensively again on Thursday night, holding Youngstown State to 30.5 percent shooting in a 67-58 victory Thursday night at the Resch Center. Green Bay has now won six-straight at home and improved to 9-9 on the season, 3-2 in the Horizon League.
The Phoenix was led by freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.), who tallied 12 points, nine rebounds, two blocked shots and three steals in the win. Fellow freshman Carrington Love and senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) each scored 11 points off the bench, and junior Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) added nine off the pine as Green Bay's three bench players combined for 31 points.
Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago,
Ill.) had 10 points, six rebounds and three assists as the fourth Phoenix player
in double figures. Green Bay made 24-of-30 from the free-throw line, including
connecting on 19 of its last 21 attempts. The Phoenix trailed by as many as
eight points in the opening half and was tied at 25-25 at the break.
The Phoenix used a 15-1 run midway through the second half to turn a one-point deficit into a 13-point lead (49-36) with 5:45 to play. The Penguins would get no closer than six the rest of the way.
During its six-game home winning streak, Green Bay is holding opponents to just 49.2 points per game and a field goal percentage of 33.2 percent. After outrebounding Youngstown State 40-31, the Phoenix also have a rebounding margin of plus-4.7 during the stretch.
Green Bay returns to action on Saturday afternoon, concluding its four-game homestand with a 1 p.m. contest against Cleveland State.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and hope I am posting in the best place! I am hoping for some CELTA advice please. I am moving to Canada next year (Vancouver) with my partner and am hoping to do TEFL over there. I have applied for the part-time CELTA at IH London, and have an interview coming up. However, I am wondering whether it would be better to apply for a full-time CELTA in Canada itself. Would it be more beneficial to do the course in the country I'll hopefully be teaching? Will it increase the likelihood of getting a job? I'm thinking it would be a nice way to meet people as well. Or is it better to do the training in London before I leave? I'm just not sure what to do for the best! Any advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks

In the five years since the first edition of this classic book was published, Internet use has exploded. The commercial world has rushed headlong into doing business on the Web, often without integrating sound security technologies and policies into their products and methods. The security risks--and the need to protect both business and personal data--have never been greater. We've updated Building Internet Firewalls to address these newer risks.
What kinds of security threats does the Internet pose? Some, like password attacks and the exploiting of known security holes, have been around since the early days of networking. And others, like the distributed denial of service attacks that crippled Yahoo, E-Bay, and other major e-commerce sites in early 2000, are in current headlines.
Firewalls, critical components of today's computer networks, effectively protect a system from most Internet security threats. They keep damage on one part of the network--such as eavesdropping, a worm program, or file damage--from spreading to the rest of the network. Without firewalls, network security problems can rage out of control, dragging more and more systems down.
Like the bestselling and highly respected first edition, Building Internet Firewalls, 2nd Edition, is a practical and detailed step-by-step guide to designing and installing firewalls and configuring Internet services to work with a firewall. Much expanded to include Linux and Windows coverage, the second edition describes:
The book's complete list of resources includes the location of many publicly available firewall construction tools.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The illustration on the cover of Building Internet Firewalls is of a doorway of Gothic design, topped by a crenelated parapet. The period of Gothic architecture is often said to have begun in the mid-12th century, when the church of Saint-Denis was built, in Paris in 1144. The architect of that church is unknown. Although Gothic architecture was mainly used in the building of churches, by the late 13th century it was used for secular purposes also, including fortifications. The structure of the merlons (the raised portions of the parapet) in this illustration gives information about the date and place of construction. The oblique sides of the merlons suggest that the doorway was built in the 14th century, and the plain but sloping top suggests that it was built in England or France.Merlons were designed to provide defense to those inside the fortification, while crenels (the recessed portions between the merlons) let them shoot projectiles at attacking enemies. Given the size of this door, and the relatively low merlons, this may have been a postern, a doorway used by foot travellers to avoid lowering the main gate. Madeleine Newell was the production coordinator for this book. Nancy Crumpton provided all editorial and production services and wrote the index. Mike Sierra provided FrameMaker technical support. Nancy Kotary and Jane Ellin provided quality control.Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book, using a 19th-century engraving from Heck's Pictorial Archive of Art and Architecture. The cover layout was produced by Emma Colby with QuarkXPress 3.3 using the ITC Garamond font. Whenever possible, our books use a durable and flexible lay-flat binding. If the page count exceeds this binding's limit, perfect binding is used.The inside layout for this second edition was adapted by Alicia Cech and David Futato from a design created by Nancy Priest, Edie Freedman, and Jennifer Niederst, and was implemented by Mike Sierra in FrameMaker 5.5.6. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Garamond Book. Chris Reilley created the figures for the first edition of this book; Robert Romano and Rhon Porter adapted those figures and created new figures for this second edition using Adobe Photoshop 5 and Macromedia Freehand 8.

Building Internet Firewalls, 2nd Edition Review
By Anonymous
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Building Internet Firewalls, 2nd Edition:
Very usefull book for admins! While I learned quite a bit of good information, the second section (Building Firewalls) is where I personally learned the most. The chapters in this section discuss topics like packet filtering, firewall architectures and design, proxy systems and bastion hosts. An informative, well-put together book that can be used as a reference and >in some sections, a tutorial as well.The book also talks about reasons for having (or not having) a firewall,security issues and near the end of the book, what to do if the site you're protecting with a firewall does get broken into.

By Shane Witschen
This book was excellent. Coming from a programmer's perspective (and having a fairly limited experience with bare-bones networking topology), I was thoroughly impressed with the brilliant way this information was presented. I read this entire book in 4 days, and was hooked on the way in which its technical precision was presented in such an understandable manner. I haven't taken this much raw, fresh, and applicable knowledge from a book in quite some time, and for every situation where I found myself wondering about another item: its explanation wasn't far behind. Very excellent presentation, and advanced readers will find it easy to circumvent unneeded chapters without sacrificing continuity. I would most certainly recommend this book to anyone needing to work with and/or implement a firewall, and especially for anyone interested in network security as a whole. Extremely heads up, and a must for System Administrators!!
By Graham Barber
I found this book both informative and extremely accessible - a rare combination in technical writing. Not only were all the issues I was interested in covered, they were treated both concisely and with an approachable and even occasionally humorous tone which is quite refreshing.Where the book did not go into extensive detail it gave a very comprehensive introduction to the topic and certainly made researching the required level of detail independently much easier.

very good
By Dario Gnaccarini
It was from a long time that reading a book about solutions was not a product manual; this is definitively a plain explanation about haow technologies are working and how to manage them if you want to build a firewall understanding what it is and what is needed to build it on a service prospective. Thanks a lot to the authors

Good reference on firewallsThis second edition explains in great detail about firewalls, both in building them (and the software and hardware you can use) and maintaining them. It also discusses the different types of firewalls available, which services you want to protect (World Wide Web, electronic mail and netnews, FTP, telnet, teleconferencing, for example).The book is timely enough to discuss the 'break-ins' of several well-known web sites earlier this year, thus pointing out one need for the use of firewalls. While I learned quite a bit of good information, the second section (Building Firewalls) is where I personally learned the most. The chapters in this section discuss topics like packet filtering, firewall >architectures and design, proxy systems and bastion hosts.The book also talks about reasons for having (or not having) a firewall,security issues and near the end of the book, what to do if the site you're protecting with a firewall does get broken into.An informative, well-put together book that can be used as a reference and >in some sections, a tutorial as well.
I have read just about every book out there about firewalls, and have to say that this book is: concise, to the point and EXTREAMLY informative. A must have for anyone that wants to learn about security, and more specifically firewall procedures, policies and configurations.

Man shot while riding bike in Daytona Beach
Published: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 8:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 8:46 a.m.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Authorities say a bicyclist has died after being shot while riding in Daytona Beach.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports 30-year-old Joseph Ruffing died Sunday, hours after being shot.
Police say Ruffing was about a block from his apartment when he was shot. A witness told officers he heard a single gunshot around 5:30 a.m. Sunday. He then saw a man face down on the ground.
Investigators are trying to find out whether Ruffing knew his assailant. They say it appears he was shot while riding the bike and either fell or jumped off. His body was found about 30 feet from the bicycle.
Ruffing worked at Olive Garden and his mother told the newspaper he rode his bike everywhere.

Devonté Hynes & Ryan McNamara Performance "Dimensions" Takes Over Pérez Art Museum Miami Terrace During Miami Art Week Celebration
Pérez Art Museum Miami was transformed by PAMM Presents Dimensions by Devonté Hynes and Ryan McNamara. "Dimensions" was an interdisciplinary performance that spread across the museum's expansive terrace and featured eight moving sculptural platforms holding live dancers and musicians. In a surprise finale, the platforms came together, like puzzle pieces, to reveal interwoven musical compositions and choreography. The performance was the result of the museum bringing Hynes and McNamara together for their annual Researcher-in-Residence program. As part of that program, they spent weeks exploring Miami and its diverse cultural history--the inspiration for "Dimensions." The evening began with a toast to artists who are currently on view at the museum, led by PAMM's new director, Franklin Sirmans. Notable guests of the evening included singer Solange Knowles, gallerist Andrea Rosen, the Guggenheim's JiaJia Fei, designer Mara Hoffman, editor Dorian Grinspan, musician Nelly Furtado, actress Arielle Kebbel, and R&B artist Miguel.

Dwight Howard's press conference with Houston Rockets legends attending was the impetus for trying to figure out which NBA teams have the all-time best big men. The quotes by Shaquille O'Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabar about Howard not living up to the L.A. limelight helped as well. So which NBA team had the best big men of all-time? 6. New York Knicks The Knicks will always be best-known for Patrick Ewing, but Willis Reed had the biggest moment and was part of the last championship run. Tyson Chandler also has to be part of New York's roster of great bigs because he has won a championship in Dallas and is one of the best centers in the league now. 5. Philadelphia 76ers Moses Malone won Philly's last title with Julius Erving, but many remember Darryl Dawkins for his crafty game, shattering backboards and awesome nickname of "Chocolate Thunder" given to him by Wilt Chamberlain and Malone are the only ones to make their marks on two teams. Wilt played in Philly for many years, but only four were with the Sixers. He won one NBA championship with the 76ers in 1967. Stevie Wonder (of all people). And, of course, Dikembe Mutombo made his best run with Allen Iverson in reaching the NBA Finals in 2001 and is the only 7-footer on this list who has his own GEICO commercial. 4. San Antonio Spurs David Robinson and Tim Duncan combined for two championships and three MVPs as well. Duncan also went on to win two more titles. Artis Gilmore was recently inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame as well. He played five solid seasons with the Spurs, leading them to three playoff seasons and two All-Star appearances. 3. Boston Celtics Bill Russell says it all with 11 rings. After Russell, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish have to be part of the Celtics' roster after combining with Larry Bird to win three championships. Kevin Garnett also has to be part of the picture as "the man" for Boston's last title in 2008. Bill Walton helped out 'big' in his sixth man of the year award year for one of those Bird championships in 1986. 2. Los Angeles Lakers This list has to to start with Wilt 'the Stilt' Chamberlain and his stellar play for many years and one championship alongside Jerry West. Then, the other obvious names are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who teamed with Magic Johnson for five championships and Shaquille O'Neal, who pa rtnered with Kobe Bryant for three. The only controversial name may be Andrew Bynum who got two rings with the Lakers, but he has to be on the list. Pau Gasol deserves mention too for those last two titles and his part in making Bynum look so good. George Mikan never played in Los Angeles despite being a long-time member of the Minneapolis Lakers. 1. Houston Rockets Dwight Howard has made the difference, as he puts Houston over the top besting all other NBA teams for the best collection of big men of all-time. It is up to Howard to maintain Houston's spot atop the others. He will need multiple NBA Finals appearances and a championship to do so. Hakeem Olajuwon and his two championships are remembered for including Clyde Drexler with him for one of them and for his shakes and bakes in the post. And, don't forget the original Twin Towers of Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson paired together. Yao Ming makes it for his eight All-Star appearances and awesome battles with Shaq. Then, there's Moses Malone on his original NBA team, which he took to five straight playoff appearances and an NBA Finals loss to the Celtics. Elvin Hayes gets an honorable mention for finishing his career where he went to college. He also played for the Rockets when they were in San Diego, before moving to Houston. Its the variety and contemporary nature of the Rockets that seals the deal. Without Sampson and Ming, the nod would have to go to the Lakers. Getting all of those Rocket 'big men' together at the same time in one room was like seeing all the living U.S. Presidents at one time. It's a rare occurrence, but Howard's presser brought it together (but still no Malone in the pic above). Howard Alperin is Managing Editor of AmericanizeSoccer.com The post Which NBA franchise has had the best big men of all-time? appeared first on Midwest Sports Fans.

Shed Happens 2nd February. Blokes and Music
02 February 2013 , 10:38 AM by Phillip Smith
"Anyone can sing in tune - I want blokes who can sing with gusto!"
That's not quite true. Paul Roussell, baritone from the world beating barbershop quartet Benchmark, is in the shed with Watto and Soccer Dad as we talk about why the guy with the guitar gets the girls, how it is that Kisiws sing and Aussie's don't, and how playing in a garage band lets blokes relax.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
I appreciate your program as there is a continual need for men's stuff to be openly talked about in a non judgemental way (which this program contributes to).
I ask if you can forward any info/link re guest, Greg Brown, talking about research on household tasks/division of labour between males/females (in the household in Australia)?
Thanking you

text: Support new revenue to invest in education The MTA is a leading member of the Campaign for Our Communities, a coalition of 120 organizations supporting a proposal to raise about $2 billion in new revenue to invest in education and other vital services. The coalition's plan would increase the income tax rate, but also increase the personal exemption to reduce the impact on low- and middle-income taxpayers. Governor Deval Patrick has offered a similar proposal, which increases the income tax rate, decreases the sales tax and doubles the personal exemption. Patrick's plan would raise about the same amount of money as the coalition bill. The governor wants half of the new funds to go to education – from preschool through public higher education – and the other half to transportation improvements. It is time to stop cutting budgets and restore services to support our students, protect the quality of life in our communities and strengthen our economy. Please send your legislators a message.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal must put Wednesday's Champions League defeat to Schalke behind them and bounce back against QPR on Saturday.
Second-half goals from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Ibrahim Afellay consigned Arsenal to their first home Champions League defeat against foreign opposition in almost a decade.
Arteta was frustrated at the team's performance, and intends to channel his disappointment into a positive performance in Saturday's London derby.
"It was a really tough game for both sides," he said. "There wasn't a big difference between the sides and we conceded a sloppy goal because we can't leave Huntelaar in the penalty area just free like this.
"To be honest they did really well, using the full back as well and they created some chances from there.
"We have to put this night behind us. We have a very important game on Saturday against QPR. We have to bounce back after two defeats. There's not any question about that."

The season finale of ABC's "Scandal" is just days away and series star Kerry Washington says Season 2's final episode is deliciously scandalous.
"It's good stuff," an emphatic Kerry told Access Hollywood of next week's "Scandal" finale, at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie, "Peeples." "It will blow your mind!"
As "Scandal's" Olivia Pope, the 36-year-old beauty became the first African-American actress to headline a primetime network drama in nearly four decades.
PHOTOS: The Sexy Stars Of ABC's 'Scandal'
"It's really amazing," she said of the honor, adding that working with "Peeples" co-star Diahann Carroll, one of the first mainstream Black actresses, was an honor. "What's really amazing is that I get to be in this film with Diahann Carroll, who was one of the trailblazers who made a show like 'Scandal' even possible."
Kerry has had an incredibly busy few months -- starring in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," leading "Scandal" as crisis manager Olivia, and now, promoting "Peeples," a Tyler Perry comedy co-starring Craig Robinson and David Alan Grier.
PHOTOS: The Stunning Ladies Of Primetime Television
After dealing with heavy topics and overwhelming drama on screen of late, the actress is thrilled to be performing a comedic role in her latest film.
"I'm really excited that after the intensity of the year with 'Django' and 'Scandal' that I get to be in a comedy," she said. "It's such a nice, different energy to be bringing to screens."
Adding, "And I love doing comedy, so I'm really excited!"
The "Scandal" Season 2 airs Thursday, May 16, at 10/9c on ABC.
"Peeples" hits theaters on Friday.

Not all deficits are created equal. They can be grouped into two major categories: cyclical and structural. A recession drives down government revenue because many workers and businesses are no longer earning income that the government can tax, or at least their income has dropped. At the same time, government spending rises because more people need assistance through programs such as Medicaid, unemployment benefits and health insurance subsidies. The result is a temporary, or cyclical, deficit. Once the economy recovers, tax revenue and government spending on assistance programs return to normal levels.
In contrast, a structural deficit reflects a chronic problem. If government spending exceeds tax revenue even when the economy is strong, then the deficit is structural. Structural deficits must be addressed through major changes in tax and spending policies, notably for entitlement programs that claim a large percentage of the federal budget. With structural deficits, one-time spending cuts or temporary tax increases will not solve the problem.
The United States currently faces both a cyclical and a structural deficit. The cyclical deficit is caused by the financial crisis and severe recession from which the country is still recovering. The structural deficit reflects the chronic mismatch between government revenue and spending that under current policies will dramatically worsen as health care costs rise and the population ages.

Just read an excellent article on Chris Paton's blog about his attendance at a Scottish Archive Conference where photography in archives was covered and an article in the Guardian newspaper about the same subject. Those archives who don't allow patrons to photograph documents should be encouraged to move with the times and follow the lead of the National Archives and allow such practices.
Read Chris's blogpost and then enquire if the repositories you use allows photography and the use of Flip Pal scanners, if they don't then start a campaign to get them to change their minds!
