Date of Thanksgiving jumped around
In 1938, everyone in the United States celebrated the last Thanksgiving day according to the proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln. If this is confusing, it is because Thanksgiving is one of those holidays whose date is not set to a specific date.
The first Thanksgiving was held in 1789, when President George Washington proclaimed Thursday, November 26, to be a "day of public thanksgiving and prayer." That, however, did not establish Thanksgiving as an official holiday. Some states celebrated it. Some did not.
Sarah Josepha Hale, a 19th-century woman who wrote "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and edited the most popular publication for the 19th-century woman, "Godey's Lady's Book," campaigned for an official Thanksgiving that would be celebrated at the same time throughout the United States, as it existed then.
It took her years and years, but she finally convinced Abraham Lincoln to declare, on October 3, 1863, that the last Thursday in November would be a day of "thanksgiving and praise" in an effort to remind everyone that all citizens of the United States or the short-lived Confederate states owed the same gratitude to the same early settlers.
After the Civil War, the proclamation held and the last Thursday in November was Thanksgiving. That lasted until 1939. The change occurred because the last Thursday in November that year was November 30. Retailers were horrified. This left a mere 24 days - in an era when stores were generally closed on weekends, especially Sundays - before Christmas.
Apparently, no one noticed this the year before because the push to move the date forward a week didn't occur until the fall of 1939. At the business owners' request, Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that in 1939, Thanksgiving would be the FOURTH Thursday in November, not the LAST Thursday in November, moving Thanksgiving Day back to November 23, 1939.
This upset a lot of people. For one thing, there wasn't much advance notice. The proclamation was made only a few weeks before the change. Calendars were now incorrect. Schools suddenly had to reschedule to allow children the day off a week earlier than planned.
Some people who were not fond of Franklin Roosevelt referred to the changed date as "Franksgiving."
Before 1939, the president traditionally made his official announcement, then the governors of each state proclaimed Thanksgiving for their state. In 1939, 23 states went along with the change, 23 states did not, and Colorado and Texas had two official Thanksgivings that year.
In 1940, Roosevelt did it again. He declared the second-to-last Thursday would be Thanksgiving. This time, 31 states went along with the change.
Ironically, Lincoln declared Thanksgiving in an effort to bring the country together. The late dates of the late 1930s were causing division. As a result, on December 26, 1941, in the midst of the early days of World War II, Congress decided to act and make the change permanent.
Ever since, Thanksgiving has been the fourth Thursday in November, even in years with five Thursdays, and the shopping season has been extended. However, in 2013, the fourth Thursday was the 28th, so the shopping season was cut back anyway.

In her 12 years as a ranger in Zion, Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Cape Hatteras national parks, Andrea Lankford says one thing always scared her.
"Whenever I saw a [Boy] Scout troop hiking down the trail, I'd cringe and say to myself, 'Oh boy, here comes trouble,' " said the former ranger, author of the book "Ranger Confidential: Living, Working and Dying in the National Parks."
"Park rangers have witnessed many appalling instances of misbehavior by Scouts," she told The Salt Lake Tribune. "But the worst of all is when the lack of proper leadership turns a Boy Scout outing into a tragedy. If parents knew what rangers knew, they would hesitate to let their boys go on extended Scout outings into wilderness areas with leaders who haven't demonstrated real outdoor experience."
Boy Scout training and rules again drew scrutiny last week after the Utah National Parks Council removed two leaders for pushing over a red rock "goblin" in Goblin Valley State Park and posting the video online.
Earlier this year, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources was forced to kill a bear after Scouts ignored repeated warnings about safely storing food, drawing the bear into Hinckley Scout Ranch in the northern slope of the Uinta Mountains. Weeks earlier, the camp director had shot and killed a bear that had wandered into camp and was eating a bag of candy bars left on a picnic table.
High-profile gaffes from past years include a Scout-caused fire in 2002 that burned 14,000 acres in the Uintas and ended up costing the Boy Scouts of America $6.5 million, and the Scouts in 2001 who chiseled out petrified dinosaur footprints at Red Fleet State Park and tossed them in the lake.
Numerous Scouts have become lost in Utah; some have died on outings.
But the case of the destroyed dinosaur tracks shows the flip side, as well the three Boy Scouts who did the damage probably used a trail constructed as an Eagle Scout project.
While they agree that Scout groups can cause trouble or put themselves at risk, federal and state land managers recognize the muscle and sweat the young men put into making outdoor adventures more pleasant for others.
"Scout groups can be great or not so great. A lot of it depends on the leaders," said Goblin Valley State Park Manager Sarah Siefken. "We just had Scouts build a bridge on the trail, and they help us with other things, like invasive plant removal and searching for endangered cactus in the park."
Boy Scouts contributed about 25,000 hours the typical annual average of work at Utah State Parks in 2012, said Robin Watson, volunteer coordinator for the parks.
Seeking adventures outdoors • Utah's three Scout councils contend extreme misbehavior is rare and goes against training. They note that nearly 200,000 Scouts in Utah spend about a half-million nights camping a year.
The councils say their Scouts are taught how to treat the environment and note that, so far this year, Eagle Scout projects have provided about 150,000 service hours to benefit the outdoors.
"Outdoor adventure is an important part of the Scouting experience," the councils said in a joint written response to questions from The Salt Lake Tribune. "To prepare both our youth and adult members for outdoor activities, we teach and follow the principles of 'Leave No Trace.' "
The statements adds, "Our councils offer extensive training opportunities each year for our adult members."
While such goals and training are in all handbooks and offered regularly, including at monthly round tables, the training is not necessarily required to register and participate.
In contrast, training to protect youths from abuse is mandatory, as are criminal-background checks.
Last May, the Boy Scouts started issuing new cards aimed at helping leaders and Scouts analyze safety risks, using the acronym PAUSE Pause before you start, Assess possible hazards, Understand how to proceed safely, Share your plan with others, Execute the activity safely.
Heeding that protocol may have avoided toppling the "goblin." The councils' statement said the Goblin Valley incident "does not in any way represent our members in Utah or beyond."
Kathy Jo Pollock, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Forest Service in Utah, said her agency accommodates requests by Boy Scout troops and other groups for presentations on how to properly enjoy natural resources but added the requests are not as common as they probably should be.
"We work with the Utah councils talking about Leave No Trace and Tread Lightly," she said. "It really depends on what they are looking for from us."
Unprepared for challenges • Lankford said the misconduct she's seen includes Scouts who stoned a bear cub to death in Yosemite, leaders who had their youths flip middle fingers at one of her rangers "after he counseled them to put out an illegal fire," Scouts hacking trees with axes and "being extremely annoying and loud at backcountry campsites."
She acknowledges that park rangers "only become involved when Scouts are either in trouble or causing trouble, so the well-behaved, well-prepared Scouts fly under their radar. To a ranger, it may seem as if all Boy Scout troops are either ill-prepared or ill-mannered, because problem Scouts are the ones they see."
Her greater concern: Scout training and preparation often are not equal to challenges they choose to face.
"There are far too many tragic examples of this fatalities in Zion, Grand Canyon, Yosemite and the Everglades," she said.
In 2010, the Los Angeles Times researched Boy Scout deaths nationally in the preceding five years. It found 31 four occurred in separate instances in Utah, or 13 percent of the national total.
Fatalities during Boy Scout excursions involving Utahns include the deaths of two leaders in a water-filled slot canyon near the northern boundary of Zion National Park in 1993; the death of a 15-year-old Bountiful boy from heat exhaustion in the Grand Canyon in 1996; and one boy who died and another who was injured after a lightning strike during a trip to the Scofield Scout Camp in 2011. Their families sued the Boys Scouts of America, claiming the leaders were not properly trained in lightning protection.
Lankford was involved in the Grand Canyon response. "This was a Mormon group who planned an extreme hike to an extreme location during heat conditions," she said. "The hike was one that even rangers would not attempt that day except in case of an emergency."
The two Scout leaders were the first to become debilitated by the heat, she said, "leaving the boys to fend for themselves, setting a chain of events that ended in the death of a 15-year-old boy. Incidents like these break rangers' hearts."
Why does she think it happens?
Some "feel compelled to take on the hardest hikes in the guidebook when leading a group of inexperienced boys in the wilderness," she believes. "My theory is that Scout leaders, perhaps seduced by the Scout mystique, greatly overestimate their own skill levels in the outdoors. I call it 'fantasy thinking,' and it can have fatal consequences."
She urges parents to "research the trip and the leaders' experience level before allowing their child to go."
The Mormon connection • More than 90 percent of Utah Scouts and leaders are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The LDS Church registers virtually all boys who are members in Scouts regardless of interest and appoints leaders for its troops.
Some Scouts and leaders may participate because they're trying to be good church members, rather than because they have interest or experience in the outdoors.
Lankford said she has not seen any greater problems with Mormon Scout troops than with others offering a backhanded compliment.
"Anecdotally speaking, Boy Scout leaders from other religious backgrounds seem just as ill-prepared," she said. "But I can see how that process [of appointing leaders] may increase the probability of groups being led by men who aren't fit for the position."
The three councils insist LDS leaders and Scouts are "well-trained, enthusiastic and engaged."
The councils say they are pleased with training and participation by the LDS Church which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year in sponsoring Scout units and see no problems caused by its practice of appointing leaders.
"The church's 'Scouting Handbook' repeatedly emphasizes the importance of training, and church leaders strongly encourage their Scout leaders to participate in trainings," the joint statement said. " ... We thank the church for its commitment to our mission, including principles such as 'Leave No Trace,' and the immeasurable impact it has had on Utah's youth."
Boosting oversight • Lankford has several ideas for practices she'd like Boy Scouts to adopt.
"All backpacking outings should require no more than seven miles of hiking per day. More extreme outings can be done after successfully accomplishing or leading a novice-level hike," she said. "Have a backup activity planned in case the weather is bad or the trail is hazardous."
She also suggests a ratio of one adult for every three youths for overnight trips into the backcountry, and a "group size of no larger than eight, preferably smaller. Smaller groups are safer and less obtrusive to others."
Siefken agrees that the leader-to-youths ratio is important.
"We tend to see the best behavior where there are at least three or four leaders per dozen kids," she said. "Managing teenage kids is a difficult responsibility, and it seems like the group tends to do better with more supervision. They are definitely better behaved when they have well-trained adults leading them."
By the numbers: Boy Scouts in Utah
In Utah's three Boy Scout councils combined:
Number of youths served • 182,431
Total number of units • 15,400
Percent who are LDS •"More than 90 percent."

What about Girl Scouts?
The Girl Scouts in Utah have not had a death or serious injury accident since 1964, when a girl slipped on a rock, hit her head and died, said Utah Girl Scout CEO Cathleen Sparrow.
Girl Scouts in Utah have 8,440 Scouts and 3,500 volunteers statewide far fewer than the Boy Scouts.
Sparrow said Girl Scout leaders must pass background and reference checks. They must attend a variety of training sessions about Girl Scout programs and safety. They have a 234-page "safety checkpoints" guide, with checklists they are to complete before various types of activities, supplemented by 220 pages of "volunteer essentials."
Before any field trips, troops must file papers and receive permission from the council.
"We do that because we want to make sure we have the right amount of volunteers going with them," Sparrow said, "and also that troop leaders passed background checks and that [they] have an understanding of what is in the safety activity checkpoints. The focus is on safety."
Before troops can go camping overnight, they first must do daytime activities, day camps and night camps at a home before they can go to national parks or camps. Sparrow said Girl Scouts also stress "Leave No Trace."

The imminent return of Sebastien Squillaci will make it easier for Arsène Wenger to contemplate life without a new centre back.
The Arsenal manager has been on the lookout for a reinforcement this month after Thomas Vermaelen (tendon) was ruled out until late-February and Squillaci suffered a hamstring strain. But Wenger's search, which in his words has taken him "everywhere and nowhere", has not borne fruit.
The January transfer window remains open for another week but Wenger's concerns have been eased by the recovery of Squillaci, who is due to return to training on Thursday ahead of a possible comeback in the FA Cup against Huddersfield on Sunday.
"It does of course [ease my mind] because at the moment you think the only resource available is Alex Song," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online.
"Song is an important player in midfield as well so you could weaken your midfield. Squillaci being available makes it much easier."
That is just as well because Wenger admits he is no longer confident of bringing in another centre back to support the current fit pairing of Laurent Koscielny and Johan Djourou.
"[The search is going] as slowly as I run at the moment. Nowhere near, we cannot say we are nowhere but we are nowhere near [a deal]," said the manager.
"At the moment I'm not too confident. I look every day after Squillaci and Vermaelen as well as I can because I try to get positive vibes from Vermaelen."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

My fingures felt like typing, so Ill post this if you go with EFI, these are some tuners I have used with good outcome.
If your gonna go EFI, and also do some engine work, your gonna need a tuner.
There are a couple good EFI tuners with a fairly easy learning curve. One of The easiest is probally the Anderson PMS.
The PMS which is a piggyback tie-in ecu that is capable of being swicthed to standalone, And alos has unlimeted capabilitys and is easy to use with a handheld control.
Check out my videos on it:http://www.youtube.com/cobra96svt570#p/u/7/iLvKdLGbkU0 or www.andersonfordmotorsport.com
Another good tuner is the Tweecer R/T which is a chip that is installed into your ecu, then connects by cable to your laptop, were you can tune it with a special software. You can adjust any parimeter in the ecu from timing to fuel, shift points, you name it. But has a steeper learning curve. You can download the software and check it out. www.tweecer.com
There is another simalar type setup that involes a chip, and does all the same stuff but is said to be even better. Its called the moates-quartehorse. Bothe of these are live chips, which means you can make adjustments on the fly, unlike a burnt chip. They also can have a switch with from 3-5 settings with all diff' tunes you can change on the fly.
A popular software for the Moates-quarterhorse is: http://eecanalyzer.net/ This software can be used with both the tweecer and the quarterhorse.
Another option, is the full standalone well know as the Megasquirt. Check them out at DIYautotune.com or google megasquirt.
There are many more options out there for the ford EECV, but they are the most know for there price, and options.

I am going to repeat what 3/4 of the mustang sites will say. The GT40P heads are similar to the E7 heads except the bigger valves on the GT40P heads and shitty placed spark plug. You will need to purchase Specific headers for this head, if you go with factory or generic, you will not to get some plugs in or out and will not be able to get your plug wires on.
The 351w is about 1" taller than a 302 so to combat that, most guys use the convertible motor mounts. It will drop the engine about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. It is true you will need a new oil pan for the car, summit and jegs have them.
As far as going to 5 lug. You can either get GT spindles and 94/95 rotors or go with a Lincoln Mark VII setup. The rear conversion and be done with either a SN 95 axle, Mark VII axle, or using the driver side axle from two RBV (ranger based vehicles) explorers being your most plentiful and most useful. You can upgrade your carrier to posi and get a 31 spline axle vs the stock 28. The disc brake set up will also come from the Explorer.
Check out MidwestMustangAssociation.com, its a group based in WI, but we will get you the answers you need.

If you are stuck with E7 or the gt40p heads, you might a well stick with the 302. A good cylinder head is everything on a 302/351. My old 88 GT went 12.0@114 on the motor, and 10.9@128 with 8 psi. TFS heads by Modern Cylinder Head, E cam, TFS intake.
Damn you, you make me miss my Mustangs!

Good post. I went with the Lincoln front setup and it worked great. I'm sure your axle is an 7.5" anyway so you may as well go get an 8.8" axle and I'm pretty sure the Lincoln is a bolt in. I dont know for sure because I went with a 9".
One thing I didn't see mentioned is the addition of sub frame connecters. Definately do it. The unibodies on these cars will twist and crack easily.
Good to see some other Mustang people here.

Be American,Buy American.
If you look for rear control arms, it lists 79-95/98.(besides amount of splines,lugs,posi or non posi,sway bar dia., disc or drum, etc etc.) But The common ford 4 link 8.8 is and awsome setup. The 8.8 is a real strong rear, I dont know what they hold up to hp and torque wise, but I know guys running up to 6oohp with moser axles and a factory ford racing posi out of cobras with good name brand gear oils.
Like the other said, there are lots of swaps you can do, you can get and explore rear, sn95 rear, lincol rear, etc. etc., there all basic 8.8 4 link setups. As for the front 5- lug you can use sn-95 parts, or lincoln parts. The 01-03 cobra lower control arms are designed diff' then previous year cobras and allow more clock to clock turning, alot of drifters swap them in.
I was running bout 450 with stock cobra rear & 4.10's. the only tihng that broke was the spiders, the posi cluthces wore thin,(to many drifts and burnouts plus age) and the spiders get side to side play. After some new clutches it was good to go.
Subframe connectors are a day and nite diff'. My cobra handled like a UPS TRUCK! before I did the sub-conectors and eibeich lowering springs. After that all my freinds called it the county nascar.

A great upgrade for the 8.8 is the C clip eliminaters. They'll give you piece of mind just knowing your not going to spit an axle out the side.
I'll throw some pics of my buildup soon. It's a 85GT mini tubbed, skinnykid cage, 3/16" boxed torgue boxes, through floor frames with waterfall tie ins, tubular front K etc. 540" big block with PA SuperComp C4 TB. Lots of small body mods that only Mustang fans would notice. Engine is at the dyno shop now and I should have it ready to go in a couple weeks. Getting anxious.

New Transmission Leaking
I just drove home with my newly installed ZZ4 350 Crate Engine mated to a TCI SSF 700R4 with a 2500 lock-up stall converter, 4.11 Rear Gears. I drove approximately 160 km (100 miles) on the hiway 110 km/hr- spirts to 140 km/hr (65mph-spirts to 85mph) and I noted some smoke coming out of one of the tailpipes. Concerned of course, but it was very light coloured, almost vapour like, continued to drive vehichle seamingly working well. The Oil pressure gage gives me a highish reading, not sure if it is functioning properly, the Vehicle the engine is in is a 76' GMC Pick-up. The temp outside was 31C or 87.8F dry and hot. Keeping an eye on everything, I touched the bottom of the tranny looked at my finger and saw, Cherry Flavoured Cough Medicine...I am like...oh oh....whats going on here...
I clean up and wipe down all surfaces, I noted the blow back of the oil over the exhaust system, mostly on one side, hence the smoke I saw coming out or, seemingly out of the exhaust pipe, now realizing that it was the tranny oil burning on the hot surface of the exhaust pipe on the one side, at least now I don't have to get any undercoating done for rust.
I checked fluid levels, and Tranny looks highish, I mean, is it possible to put too much Tranny fluid in a Tranny? The level is on the Top Line of where it says Engine Hot, this is when the Vehicle sat over night and cool in the morning.
Looks like the Oil is coming from the drivers side where the transmission meets the engine - lower left front corner of Tranny. Could it be the Torque Converter? Any thoughts from anyone?
The vehicle still drives, did seem to be switching from 3rd to OD and back again a few times...
Vehicle still seems to have lots of power, I am just afraid to push it at all, don't want to do any damage, I am going to bring it to a shop today, just looking for some input, thanks guys.

sweeet, good to see another AFFo$ paint up.
Aww yeah. . . this is looking great!
Spent the afternoon and evening painting the Rangefinder Ear. I decided to strip it down and do it in a layered paint scheme instead of going topical. I'll add the hash marks and the 'DV:' emblem tomorrow. Gonna let it dry over night. It still needs some dustings with the pastels as well as the paint splatter, but I'll add those when I reattach it to the helmet.
I was gonna add pics, but can't seem to upload them to the site for some reason. I'll try again later.
Looking forward to more pics! Looks fantastic so far!!!
Okay, here we go...the Rangefinder ear...Will add the hash marks and the 'DV:' emblem this weekend.
It looks great! This paint job is an ESB hero or ROTJ SE (AoSW/C-IV)? I guess it's the second version because the 'T' on the right upper ear cap was not added... yet?
I'm leaning to ROTJ SE, but the jury is still out. I'm probably going to leave out the extra damage/markings until the last when I make my final decision. One thing I always liked for some reason is the black paint splatter between the dent and the killstripes. Would love to know how THAT actually got on the helmet.
WOOHOO! Back to working on my own helmet! Spent the day putting the 'concrete' on the back right panel of the helmet. One day I will have my very own painted ESB helmet...One day. :-D
Great job. I'm working my way through my first ESB paint job and I'm mostly using your color suggestions, as I'm airbrushed challenged. However, I have a question and this seems as good as place as any to ask. What colour is it between (underneath?) the rangefinder ear pieces (that little strip). I can't really tell from the reference pics I've seen and it seems from various posting on this site that like everyone sort of picks their own colour: the red (maroon from the mandibles), the tan, the dark gray or the silver (aluminum) found at the bottom of the top piece and the bottom of the top earpiece. I haven't had much luck looking up the answer. Thanks so much.
wow.. very nice
Thanks for the kind words guys.
Bounty1138-That strip is silver (aluminum)
Thanks so much. Keep up the good work.
Small update...Took a break from prepping my next helmet project to paint the hashmarks on the Range Finder Ear Cap.
Made some more progress on my own helmet. Added the pastel smudges to the dent. Applied the silver to the left and right mandibles, and got the light grey applied to the left ear...
Been far too long. Looking awesome!

The study was conducted at a university hospital where participants were fed 3 meals per day and were also provided with experimental teas. Participants were randomly split into a control tea group and a green tea group. Each group consumed 20 ounces of tea twice daily for 6 weeks. The green tea provided 534 mg of catechins (the bioactive nutrients in tea) per day. The control tea provided 162 mg of catechins per day.
Despite consuming the same meals in the hospital kitchen during the study, the green tea group lost on average over 4 pounds of body fat, while there was no fat loss in the control group. Furthermore, two weeks after the study ended, the green tea group maintained the body fat loss and also showed improved blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
These findings are consistent with previous work that show catechins from green tea increase metabolic rate and shift fuel metabolism from carbohydrate to fat oxidation, and in some studies even promote decreased appetite.
These acute effects of green tea can translate into long-term improvements. For example, in one study, after 12 weeks of supplementing with green tea (providing 690 mg of catechins per day), men had two-fold greater weight and fat loss compared to placebo.
Consider frequent intake of green tea a healthy way to assist in losing a few extra pounds.

Ras-i Dowling Scouting Report
|Virginia Cavaliers
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'2 - 200 lbs.
|40-Yard Dash
|Broad jump
2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Ras-i Dowling, FS, Virginia
In his junior campaign, Dowling tallied 58 tackles, 2.5 tackles-for-loss, 3.0 sacks and three interceptions. His 2008 season earned him a few accolades -- like second-team All-ACC honors -- and his 2009 campaign earned him plenty more conference accolades. The 2010 campaign has not gone well for Dowling. He has struggled with a nagging knee injury and has missed most of the season.
Dowling's size is what makes him such an attractive cornerback. At 6-2 and 200 pounds, Dowling has more size than most corners, but he does not lack the coverage skills or the speed to keep up with most NFL receivers. His size could also mean Dowling could play some safety and that versatility, not to mention his great cover skills, make him a very attractive prospect. Dowling's lack of playing time during his senior season has hurt his stock, but Dowling could have been a borderline first round pick last year. He needs to prove that his knee injury is healed sooner or later, but NFL scouts can look at his junior season and know that they have a quality player who is worthy of a late first round selection.
1/15 Update: Dowling ended up missing the rest of his senior season after fracturing an ankle against Maryland in mid-November. Dowling is well on his way to being at full strength for the pre-draft workouts, but he will have a lot on the line. Widely regarded as a first round talent heading into his senior season, Dowling needs to prove that he is healthy and can stay that way. In the meantime, other corners are passing him by and Dowling's stock is slipping down to the second or third round.
3/22 Update: Dowling's injury issues followed him to the NFL combine. He ran fast and measured out as well as everybody expected, but he pulled up with a hamstring injury. That is the latest injury in what is a long line of injuries. There is little doubt that Dowling has the talent to be a great corner in the NFL, but he will do no good sitting on the sidelines and his stock continues to slide.

Anyone who has watched the Saints this year has seen how a talented hybrid CB/S can impact games. Malcolm Jenkins was a CB during the draft process but has really flourished this year as a safety. A guy that can play deep coverage or step up and cover the slot reciever or tight end is very valuable and somebody will see that kind of potential in this guy towards the end of the first round. Perhaps Belichek will use one of his million selections on him or Ryan will take him to match up with Aaron Hernandez/Rob Gronkowski for the next 6 years because Kyle Wilson isn't covering any tight ends split out wide when he is only 5-10 (Hernandez is 6-1 and Gronkowski is 6-6). The Jets will have to adjust to the Pats as the Belicheks have adjusted their style/personnel to beat the Jets.

There are three main types of archaea: the crenarchaeota (kren-are-key-oh-ta), which are characterized by their ability to tolerate extremes in temperature and acidity. The euryarchaeota (you-ree-are-key-oh-ta), which include methane-producers and salt-lovers; and the korarchaeota (core-are-key-oh-ta), a catch-all group for archaeans about which very little is known. Among these three main types of archaea are some subtypes, which include:
Methanogens (meth-an-oh-jins) — archaeans that produce methane gas as a waste product of their "digestion," or process of making energy.
Halophiles (hal-oh-files) — those archaeans that live in salty environments.
Thermophiles (ther-mo-files) — the archaeans that live at extremely hot temperatures.
Psychrophiles (sigh-crow-files) — those that live at unusually cold temperatures.
Archaea look and act a lot like bacteria. So much so that until the late 1970s, scientists assumed they were a kind of "weird" bacteria.
Then microbiologist Carl Woese devised an ingenious method of comparing genetic information showing that they could not rightly be called bacteria at all. Their genetic recipe is too different.
So different Woese decided they deserved their own special branch on the great family tree of life, a branch he dubbed the Archaea.
Some archaea look like little rods or tiny balls, and some even get around like bacteria, using long hair- or whip-like appendages called flagella that stick out of their cell walls and act like a microscopic outboard motor to get them where they are going.
Like bacteria, archaea lack a true nucleus. Both bacteria and archaea usually have one DNA molecule suspended in the cell's cytoplasm contained within a cell membrane. Most, but not all, have a tough, rigid outer cell wall.
Archaeans are among the earliest forms of life that appeared on Earth billions of years ago. It's now generally believed that the archaea and bacteria developed separately from a common ancestor nearly 4 billion years ago. Millions of years later, the ancestors of today's eukaryotes split off from the archaea. So historically, archaeans are more closely related to us than they are to bacteria.
Archaeans dine on a variety of substances for energy, including hydrogen gas, carbon dioxide and sulfur. One type of salt-loving archaean uses sunlight to make energy, but not the way plants do it. This archaean has a light-harvesting pigment in the membrane surrounding its cell. This pigment, called bacteriorhodopsin (back-tear-ee-oh-row-dop-sin), reacts with light and enables the cell to make ATP, an energy molecule.
Archaeans are single-celled creatures that join bacteria to make up a category of life called the Prokaryotes (pro-carry-oats). Prokaryotes' genetic material, or DNA, is not enclosed in a central cellular compartment called the nucleus. Bacteria and archaea are the only prokaryotes. All other life forms are Eukaryotes (you-carry-oats), creatures whose cells have nuclei. (Note: viruses are not considered true cells, so they don't fit into either of these categories.)
Archaea comes from the Greek word meaning "ancient." An appropriate name, because many archaea thrive in conditions mimicking those found more than 3.5 billion years ago. Back then, the earth was still covered by oceans that regularly reached the boiling point — an extreme condition not unlike the hydrothermal vents and sulfuric waters where archaea are found today.
Some scientists consider archaea living fossils that may provide hints about what the earliest life forms on Earth were like, and how life evolved on our planet.
Although many archaea have tough outer cell walls, these walls contain different kinds of amino acids and sugars than those found in bacteria. Archaeal cell membranes also are chemically distinct from bacterial membranes with differing lipid structures and chemical links. This means that drugs that slow or kill bacteria by interfering with their ability to produce certain key proteins have no effect on archaea.

1/8 teaspoon each: ground cumin, mint, black pepper, hot pepper, and sweet red pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
Handful chopped parsley
2 eggs (beaten)
Sunflower oil
Brown onion in butter and add half of the meat. Stir in rice. Mix the remaining raw meat with parsley, two eggs, and seasonings. Knead in cooked meat and rice. Mold into ovals, flatten, and dip first in flour and then into the beaten eggs. Fry until firm and golden.
Servings: Serves four
"Turkish ravioli" is so popular that some restaurants serve nothing else. This quick version doesn't require traditional dough preparation.
2 cups plain yogurt
5 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons dried mint
5 ounces ground beef or lamb
1 onion, grated
Salt, pepper
1 package won-ton wrappers (ready made egg-dough squares)

2 tablespoons finely crushed red pepper
Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Mix yogurt, garlic, and one tablespoon mint. Set aside. Mix meat, onion, remaining mint, salt, and pepper. Cut won-ton wrappers into four small squares. Place a pea-size bit of meat in one won-ton square, moisten edges with water, and pinch corners together to make a mantı (small dumpling).
Arrange in a single layer on a baking pan and bake until brown. Remove from oven and boil mantı in broth until soft. Sauté red pepper in butter. Ladle mantı into bowls, top with yogurt, then pepper sauce.
Servings: Serves four
Noah's Pudding (Aşure)
This legendary dessert is said to have originated on Noah's Ark.
1 cup unhulled wheat 1/2 cup dried chickpeas
1/2 cup dried navy beans 1 grated apple
1 cup sugar or to taste 1/4 cup each: raisins, dried apricots, dried figs

Apache is far and away the most widely used web server platform in the world. This versatile server runs more than half of the world's existing web sites. Apache is both free and rock-solid, running more than 21 million web sites ranging from huge e-commerce operations to corporate intranets and smaller hobby sites.With this new third edition of Apache: The Definitive Guide, web administrators new to Apache will come up to speed quickly, and experienced administrators will find the logically organized, concise reference sections indispensable, and system programmers interested in customizing their servers will rely on the chapters on the API and Apache modules.Updated to cover the changes in Apache's latest release, 2.0, as well as Apache 1.3, this useful guide discusses how to obtain, set up, secure, modify, and troubleshoot the Apache software on both Unix and Windows systems. Dozens of clearly written examples provide the answers to the real-world issues that Apache administrators face everyday. In addition to covering the installation and configuration of mod_perl and Tomcat, the book examines PHP, Cocoon, and other new technologies that are associated with the Apache web server. Additional coverage of security and the Apache 2.0 API make Apache: The Definitive Guide, Third Edition essential documentation for the world's most popular web server.
Ben Laurie is the coauthor of Apache: The Definitive Guide, Technical Director of A.L. Digital Ltd. and The Bunker, a director of the Apache Software Foundation, author of Apache-SSL and a core team member of OpenSSL. As well as his obvious involvement with free software, he's also obsessed with security and privacy, particularly on the net. In his copious spare time, he writes stuff, sometimes code, sometimes words.

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 animal on the cover of Apache: The Definitive Guide, Third Edition, is an Appaloosa horse. Developed by the Nez Perce Indians of northeastern Oregon, the name Appaloosa derives from the nearby Palouse River. Although spotted horses are believed to be almost as old as the equine race itself -- Cro-Magnon cave paintings depict spotted horses-- the Appaloosa is the only established breed of spotted horse. The Appaloosa was bred to be a hunting and war horse, and as such they have great stamina, are highly athletic and agile, and have docile temperaments. When the Nez Perce, led by Chief Joseph, surrendered to the U.S. Army in 1876 and were exiled to Oklahoma, the Appaloosa breed was almost eradicated. In 1938 the Appaloosa Horse Club was formed in Moscow, Idaho, and the breed was revived. The Horse Club now registers approximately 65,000 horses, making it the third largest registry in the world. No longer a war horse, Appaloosas can be found in many equestrian venues, from trail riding to western competition to pleasure riding. Jeffrey Holcomb was the production editor and copyeditor for Apache: The Definitive Guide, Third Edition. Sheryl Avruch, Sarah Sherman, and Mary Anne Weeks Mayo provided quality control. Genevieve d'Entremont, Judy Hoer, Sue Willing, and David Chu were the compositors. Tom Dinse and Johnna VanHoose Dinse wrote the index.Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.David Futato designed the interior layout. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the bookwere produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. The tip and warning icons were drawn by Christopher Bing. This colophon was written by Clairemarie Fisher O'Leary.

Apache: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition Review
By N/A
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Apache: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition:
Unfortunately, this book is extremly obsolete. It's full of old 1.3x code and examples and a few chapters have 2.0.x ones, and the worst: this book has contradictory and wrong paragraphs in several chapters against the official Apache 2.1 docs. It's mainly focused on Unix and it's a total waste of time and money for Windows users running Apache (Unix users that have experience with Apache shouldn't waste their money with this book).Seems that the authors have a kind of contract with FreeBSD group because this is the only OS that mainly appears on the book, it's a shame. Also seems that the authors doesn't know anything about Apache 2.0.x releases, do they want to live in the past?. By the way, the chapter related with "Security" is a complete joke.If you're running recent Apache releases, for example 2.0.4x (with the most interesting and useful features) forget about this outdated and biased book and invest your time with the Official 2.1 Apache docs.Sorry O'Reilly, better luck with the 4th Ediiton.

This is the second book I had worked through from Orielly. Quite good for most of aspects. It needs some knowledge of Linux and computer networking for better understanding this book. The third edition have some typo and the example download contains some misconfigure file. However, if you look at this book closely, you can solve it by yourself. This can be regards as a practice for the reader. Quite good, hope that more information and improvment in next edition.
By Dan Clough
This is a fairly comprehensive, 600-page guide to the Apache web server software. The book begins with an overview of what a web server and browser clients do, how they work, and planning/installing Apache. The book covers versions 1.3.x and 2.0.x, and the differences between them. After installation, the next few chapters explain the initial configuration required to get a working webserver, including the various directives blocks, access control, and setting up virtual hosts. Chapter 5 discusses how to implement authentication, passwords, and more on access control, such as using .htaccess files. Following chapters describe how to change settings for various web filetypes, indexing, imagemaps, and redirection of web page requests. Chapters 9 and 10 explain using a proxy, and the multitude of logging and status options which can be configured. One of the longer (and important) chapters, Chapter 11, goes into excellent detail about the security aspects of running a webserver. It includes discussion and examples on signatures, certificates, using SSL, and firewalls. General security precautions, real life scenarios, and even potential legal issues are addressed. The next section goes over building and administering a large website, and the issues associated with that. Also there is a chapter on adding web applications to your site to allow flexible user interaction, such as forms submission. There are then several chapters regarding add-ons and extensions to get even more from the webserver. These include PHP, CGI, Perl, mod_perl, XML, and Cocoon. There are numerous examples of coding provided, although most of them are somewhat basic in nature. One subject that I thought should have been addressed more was integrating the webserver with a database (such as MySQL), as this is a very common requirement. The last two chapters go over the Apache Application Programming Interface (API), and how to write Modules for Apache. This may be useful to more serious developers, but is probably too technical and difficult for the average casual user. The book closes with a good Index and there is also a very handy foldout inside the back cover which contains quick-reference data for the most commonly used configurations and commands. Overall this book seems to "cover all the bases". It was useful to me as a beginner to set up a testing webserver, and yet has extra details and information for those more advanced webmasters. The quick reference section especially, should be very useful to experienced Apache users. I would highly recommend the book for anyone wanting to start or improve their knowledge in running the Apache webserver.

I've been consistently impressed with O'Reilly's pubs until this book. I bought it with the little "Covers 2.0 and 1.3" on the cover as a key element. However, it appears that "Covers 2.0" is very much a marketing afterthought. There are so many basic differences between 1.3 and 2.0 that this book is almost completely useless. Poorly done, fellas.
By JGMurray
I ordered this book to learn apache from the ground up, but the examples download will not work out of the box for apache 2.0 (distributed with RedHat 9). It requires knowledge of apache and extensive editing of each httpd.conf file to make them workable. The book has great information, but could be a much better learning experience if the examples could be used.
By Ravichandran Mahalingham of the Columbia Java Users Group
This book offers a step by step process of installing the Tomcat webserver to Unix (primarily) and Windows servers. at every stage, the authors have taken the time to include the information about windows operating system. the authors have taken the time to arrange the flow of the chapters to match the events in a real world server configuration exercise of an apache. the book also describes the differences in the versions of Apache for the benefit of users.In all, the book is good material for the not-so experienced apache user.
By J.B.
This book is written well and is thorough enough, but Apache already comes with rather thorough documentation and I didn't find much new here. Might be worth it if you really want a bound manual, but otherwise, check the Apache documentation first and save yourself some money.
By Kenneth Wilcox
I was very impressed with the second edition of this book, and didn't think there was much room for improvement. I was wrong... very wrong. What did the do different? An improved quick start guide, support for Apache 2.0, better layout (specific chapters for a specific topic), how to add PHP, CGI, mod_perl, mod_jserv / Tomcat, and Cocoon have been added. Just in shear pages it's over 200 additional pages. This book is better than the 2nd Edition in many ways. It has earned it's place on my bookshelf.
By Jack Ijzinga
Apache: The Definitive GuideI bought this book to catchup with the open source initiative's webserver, apache. The book clearly explains all the different settings and commands the apache webserver can use ! Both versions (1.3 and 2.0) are covered in good detail.WebDavWhat i missed was a description of the dav_module and dav_fs_module used in version 2.0. The only place it was mentioned was on the quick reference card. WebDAV is used more widely now and the apache foundation has incorporated it in version 2.0. Nothing was mentioned ! A missed chance !Win32In the book the installation of apache is covered on both Unix and Win32 platforms. The last one, Win32, is not covered in detail, which i find quite poor for such a detailed book. In some passages the Win32 platform is critisized for its stability and security, not giving a non biased statement of the writers about that platform. Topics like security are very important for sysadmins using apache on the Win32 platform. Hopefully the 4rd edition will cover this subject in more detail !OverallA good readible book with lots of detailed descriptions and comments. Unix installation and configuration is detailed, the Win32 platform is not that detailed. Missed webdav module description and configuration. But still it is a good book to have !

New Year's Eve Night
Bright torches fly overhead
Sweeping evil far away
Losar, the Tibetan New Year begins in a couple of hours and living a very different life, I look back on my travels and remember what Losar celebrations are like. Food and barley beer flow for days and even weeks and rituals of eschewing evil and beginning anew are performed across the Tibetan world.
If we were in Tibet, we'd be making the final preparations for a festival that mixes sacred and secular practices — prayers, ceremonies, hanging prayer flags, sacred and folk dancing, partying.
In the days before Losar, Tibetan households draw pictures of the sun and moon or the eight auspicious symbols on their walls with a paste made of flour and water. In monasteries, several protector deities are honored with devotional rituals. On the last day of the year, monasteries are elaborately decorated. In homes, cakes, candies, breads, fruits and beer are offered on family altars.
There is a wonderful and unique ritual that I love in the days preceding Losar that involves imbuing a dough effigy with the bad spirit that are afflicting family members, then carrying him out of the house to the nearest intersection – so the bad spirits leave the house and will be too confused by the intersection of streets to come back. While this ritual is performed, guthuk noodle soup is prepared or served. The interesting thing about the soup are the dumplings which contain often inedible objects meant to communicate a message about the person who draws them. There are wool inclusions, those made of glass, or even coal. You guessed it – coal is for someone who has a black heart.
To begin the new year, it is also traditional to offer sprouted barley seeds and buckets of tsampa (roasted barley flour with butter) and other grains on home altars to ensure a good harvest. Laypeople visit friends to wish them Tashi Delek or "auspicious greetings".
The second day of Losar, called King's" Losar, is for honoring community and national leaders. Long ago, it was a day for kings to hand out gifts at public festivals.
On the third day of Losar, laypeople make special offerings to the dharma protectors. They raise prayer flags from hills, mountains and rooftops and burn juniper leaves and incense as offerings. The dharmapalas are praised in chant and song and asked for blessings.
To celebrate Losar, I want to share one of my recipes for Tibetan momos with you. Momos are traditional dumplings stuffed with a flavorful mixture of meat or vegetables and spices that are enjoyed with sauces and condiments galore. However, since I've recently joined the 5-Star Foodie Makeover Cooking Challenge group, I, along with the other members was given the assignment of creating a dish with beets. So to combine the tow efforts, the dish I'm going to offer today is Tibetan Momos made with beetroot flavored dough!
I like the flavor of beets a lot and cook with them often. One of my favorite snacks is beet greens sautéed in butter with a bit of nutmeg and salt and pepper. However, I was a bit worried by the assignment, because many beet dishes are notoriously difficult to photograph – the problem is the color. As you know, beets share their dark purple to magenta color most eagerly with other ingredients, making a dish like a curry, or stew or even most salads too uniform in color to photograph nicely. In the Buddhist spirit, I decided to make the problem the solution and used beets to add color and a bit of flavor to dough for my Losar momos.
Tibetan Momos in Beetroot Pastry
Momos are tiny round or moon-shaped pastries filled with vegetables or meat and vegetable mixtures that are usually eaten as a main course dish in a multi-course meal in Tibet. In the west, they can be enjoyed this way or served as appetizers or snacks. They are best when served with plenty of sauces, pickles and other condiments.
3 medium beets, roots only, washed
½ – 1 cup water
Wrap cleaned beetroots in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 F oven for about 1 hour. When they are done, they will yield a bit if squeezed. When done, set aside until cool enough to handle.
Remove beet roots from foil and slip the skins off with your fingers. Wear clean gloves if you want to avoid stains on your fingers and nails. Chop the beets roughly and place in a food processor or heavy-duty blender. Add about ½ cup water and pulse until you have a puree. Add additional water and blend until smooth. Make sure solids are blended out or strain through cheesecloth to remove.
3 cups flour
1- 1½ cups of beet liquid.
Place flour in a bowl and add liquid a little bit at a time and mix with a fork or spoon until the dough comes together. The exact amount of liquid added will depend upon the thickness of the liquid, the fineness of the flour and the humidity etc. – so be careful not to add too much liquid all at once. Mix and add liquid until the dough is properly hydrated.
Mix the dough with your hands until it is uniformly mixed and colored. If necessary add a couple of tablespoons more flour so that the dough doesn't stick to your hands. Knead for 5-10 minutes until flexible and then cover and set aside briefly to rest.
Place a handful or more of the dough on a flat floured surface. Flatten it somewhat with your hands and then begin rolling it out with a rolling pin. Roll it until you can begin to see the surface below the dough, but it shouldn't be much thinner than that, or it may not hold the filling during the steaming process.
Use a saucer or a plastic lid from a can about 4-6 inches in diameter to cut the momo dough into circles. Place cut circles aside on a small plate. I like to roll and cut all the dough before proceeding to the filling stage. The consistency of the dough with beetroot liquid in them is different and more elastic than when the dough is made with water. You may have to work harder at rolling – but keep at it, it can be done.
Tibetan Garam Masala
This Tibetan version varies from the Indian version basically by the addition of the bay leaves and the coriander seeds. Variations of this around Tibet also use seeds from black cardamom pods and nutmeg.
¼ cup coriander seeds
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
2 tablespoons cardamom seeds
2 Tablespoons bay leaves
2 Tablespoons cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons cloves
Grind items together as grouped by consistency – i.e. cloves, peppercorns and cinnamon stick can be ground together. When all items are ground or cracked – mix them together and grind briefly just to blend further. Most flavorful when used right after grinding. Store in a jar with a good seal.
¾ pound of ground beef or lamb*
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground Szechuan pepper
2 teaspoons Tibetan Garam Masala
2 large onions, peeled and finely diced
3 tablespoons ginger, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon garlic, peeled and diced
A large bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cups king oyster mushrooms or daikon radish, sliced or shredded
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 teaspoon beef or vegetable broth
Melt butter in a medium sauté pan and sauté ground or finely diced meat, 1 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper until it becomes opaque and starts to firm. It should be only partially cooked when removed from the heat and set aside.
Combine diced onions, grated ginger and garlic and mix well. Add sautéed meat and mix again. Add ground Szechuan pepper and Tibetan Garam Masala as well as the cilantro and mushrooms and stir well. Add soy sauce and beef or vegetable broth and mix well. Set aside to cool if necessary.
*To make vegetarian replace meat with 3-4 cups of shredded bok choy or cabbage
Making Momos
Take the dough circles and place about a tablespoon to a tablespoon and a half of filling in the center of the circle. Draw filling out a bit so it is more like a line than a circle, but be sure not to bring too close to the edges.
There are many ways to gather momos. One way is simply fold one edge of the dough over to form a half moon shape, and another is to gather the dough up into a "top knot" on top of the filling as pictured here. Pick a way to enclose the filling inside the momo. If using the half-moon shape, use a fork to seal the edges tightly and shape into a slight curve. If using the "top knot" shape, this can be done with your fingers. If you mix and match shapes, steam them separately, because one shape may take a bit longer to cook than another.
In a wok bring about 2 cups of water to a boil. As the water is boiling, wet a bamboo steamer to prepare it for use. Let sit for a few minutes and then spray the surfaces lightly with cooking oil. Place momos in steamer compartments and set time for about 10 minutes. If using a multi-tier steamer, work from the bottom up creating multiple layers of momos. When the water is boiling place steamer with momos on top of the boiling water.
As they steam the momos will begin to glisten and some may become translucent – this is desired. Cook them for about 10 minutes and remove them from the steamer as soon as possible or they may begin to stick. Move to a rack to cool. Serve room temperature or reheated with a selection of sauces, pickles and other condiments. Can also be served with soup and bread for a light meal – momos are more filling than they seem.
They are delicious, especially with the sweet and sour Tibetan tomato sauce that often accompanies momos. Interestingly, my husband found that the beetroot not only offers color, but also a bit of flavor – especially when one eats the "top knot" of the momos that I made. With other shapes, it will likely modulate and dampen the spicy contents just a bit to add sweet to spicy as one eats the savory treats.

text: Horde. Been an Orc player since Warcraft: Orcs vs Humans. Honestly, I don't like playing human characters in any game I play. I like the allure of something different or weird. In WoW I have Zero alliance characters, but in WC2 I was a big fan of making maps and I always liked Uther Lightbringer. Don't even know why, maybe I just liked saying his name. I don't like the lion symbol for alliance; even though I'm a leo. Might have something to do with my Irish heritage . Even still I always liked Zul'Jin, Gorefiend, and Grom. So I think that carried over into WoW. I like the ugly races and I like being the bad guy because in life I gotta be the good guy maybe?! I don't know, I like this thread though. Good question OP....+2 Internets to you.

Hi all,
What do you think of socks as a gift this year? I mean this fancy, funny, 'I wanna tell you something' type. Opinions???
Hi all,
What do you think of socks as a gift this year? I mean this fancy, funny, 'I wanna tell you something' type. Opinions???
If the person needs them sure socks are always a good gift.
I got my dad socks for Xmas, but he's getting a lot more than just that, too.
Only socks as a Christmas present? I guess it's OK if it's on the list
Merry Snowy Christmas
Love & Peace to the World
No, it's not for anyone close to be honest. It's just a Christmas party at a company I work for. We've got this raffle thing going and I thought funny socks could be a good idea. Any recomendations as to where to get those from online?
This winter, I think a pair of thermal socks would be welcome!
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
Fair comment, thanx. However, it's a Christmas do so I was thinking something a little bit more 'tongue-in-cheek' would be better.
After I got bored with going through eBay forever and ever I found these "tune playing socks" at www.soxo.pl.
What do you think?
maybe as part of a present... not the whole present?
Will think of something else, thanx As I said before it's for my company's Christmas party raffle so I think they will do together with a chocolate Santa
Anyway, just ordered them so we'll see soon

By Chris Harris
Vic Akers admits it will be difficult to 'let go' when he steps down as Arsenal Ladies manager at the end of the season.
The 62-year-old has won a staggering 31 trophies during 22 years at the helm but his long reign will finish on Sunday after the Premier League title decider at Everton.
Akers won't actually be at that game - his first-team kit manager duties take precedence - but he intends to keep in touch from the bench at Emirates Stadium while Arsenal take on Chelsea.
Either way, it will be an emotional day for the 'godfather' of Arsenal Ladies. Akers was the driving force behind the club's formation in 1987 and has guided his team through thick and thin ever since. That's why he'll find it tough to relinquish control when he hands over the reins in the summer.
"It has been quite a sad situation," said Akers. "It has been starting to kick in that [the FA Cup Final on Monday was] the last time I will walk into a dugout. It's a bit strange after 22 years but life moves on.
"Unfortunately I won't be available for my last game because of the men's game against Chelsea. It's very sad for me but it's one of those ones that I'll have to organise on the telephone. Every 10 or 15 minutes I'll be on the phone, but I'm not that quick at texting!
"It's very difficult to let go of team affairs after over 20 years because it's my forte. I am better equipped at that than I am at most things – even the kit manager role. But there are times when you know it's time step down. I've got a dodgy knee and that will need replacing at some point. When I can't actively be involved as I would like to be it's very difficult.
"Instead I will oversee everything as General Manager and run the Club from above now. I'll deal with the money side of things and bringing players in along with the coaches."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Morris Featured in The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges
Posted by Jenna Ray on Friday, Apr. 19, 2013
Morris is one of the most environmentally responsible colleges in the United States and Canada, according to The Princeton Review. The education-services company known for its test prep programs and college rankings, ratings, and guidebooks profiles Morris in its fourth annual edition of The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges.
The Princeton Review selected schools for this guide based on its 2012 survey of administrators at over 800 four-year colleges. The company analyzed data regarding the schools' course offerings, campus infrastructure, activities, and career preparation to measure their commitment to the environment and sustainability, then assigned each a Green Score ranging from 60 to 99. Schools with a score of 83 or higher were profiled in the Guide to 322 Green Colleges.
In its profile of Morris, The Princeton Review highlights the institution's "deep roots in agriculture and land stewardship." It praises Morris's status as a charter signatory of the ACUPCC and STARS Charter Participant program and as one of the first public colleges to generate on-site renewable power from local resources. Citing the campus's various renewable energy projects including a biomass gasification plant, commercial-scale research wind turbines, and on-site solar thermal system, the Princeton Review commends Morris for its comprehensive sustainability plan and emphasis on conservation. Student groups including the Minnesota Public Interest Research Group are highlighted as well.
"We are very proud that the University of Minnesota, Morris continues to be ranked among the most environmentally responsible colleges in the nation," says Chancellor Jacqueline Johnson. "This recognition attests to how widespread our sustainability efforts are, touching nearly all aspects of our community life."
"We are truly pleased to recommend Morris along with all of the fine schools in this book to the many students seeking colleges that practice and promote environmentally-responsible choices and practices," says Robert Franek, senior VP/publisher of The Princeton Review. Franek notes that the company's 2013 "College Hopes & Worries Survey" indicates significant interest among college applicants in attending "green colleges." Sixty-two percent admit that "having information about a school's commitment to the environment would influence their decision to apply to or attend the school."
The Princeton Review created its Guide to 322 Green Colleges in partnership with the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), with generous support from United Technologies Corp., founding sponsor of the Center for Green Schools.
Additional information on the Green Guide, school selection process, and more is available online.

The recent elections to the European Union parliament have resulted in gains for conservatives and right wing groups. Turkey's bid to enter the EU was doubtful at best, but now that conservatives and anti-Muslim factions have gained more seats in the EU parliament it raises issues as to whether a bid by a Muslim nation will be successful. The recession, rising anger toward immigrants, and loss of confidence in socialist and liberal groups most probably were important factors in the growth of votes for anti-immigrant parties in Europe. Geert Wilders, who has led the fight in the Netherlands, to halt further immigration saw a large improvement in his vote. A fascist from the United Kingdom became the first member of his party to secure a seat in the EU parliament.
Any time there is a recession, anger toward the stranger and immigrants rises in a society. As unemployment increases, people interpret immigrants working as taking away their jobs even though few would actually seek jobs in the lower echelons of society.
