Michelle Rodriguez set hearts racing as as she stepped onto the cool blue carpet to celebrate the sixth outing for the Fast and Furious franchise. She joined Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, director Justin Lin and others at the Empire Leicester Square for the world premiere - appropriately enough as the film was shot mostly in the UK. Apparently she needed help with her stunning red dress, as it was so long.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I don't think your pup is old enough to show dominant-aggression to a human. Though, pups in a litter do start figuring pack order out. But, your pup is learning and pushing and trying to figure everyone out. He has to learn how to respond to everyone, and what works with everyone. It is at this point, if your husband makes a few minor changes, that your pup may not grow to believe he doesn't have to listen to your husband.
Now that you mention it, my best friend has a son who is autistic, and our pup has never been as outgoing towards him as he is with other children. He wasn't by any means aggressive, but usually he gets so excited to see children! He absolutely loves kids, gets super happy and wags his tail so hard his whole body moves.
With the autistic son, he just always ignores him. I figured maybe he sensed that the son was nervous so chose not to mess with him. Maybe its the other way around and abnormalities make our pup nervous? I always figured that dogs would be kinder to people woth disabilities, but maybe our pup is too immature at this age to react appropriately.
Thanks for your insight, this is something I would never would have thought of!
ThanK's to everyone for their input! I hAve gotten a lot of good advise and tips that I intend to put to good use!
|JakodaCD OA
Something to ponder, and I'm no expert, you said your husband suffers from seizures.
Dogs are soooooo intuitive. Puppy may be picking up some vibes your husband unconciously throws out and confused by them?? thus is more aggressive with him.
I don't want your husband to feel bad, so maybe don't mention that! Just something to maybe think about.
I'd have your husband , as one posted, feed him, good things come from him, and try to be more assertive in his obedience with him..Talk to your trainer as well,,
So this may be actual aggression/dominance rather than rough playing? I forgot to mention one of the things that worries me. When my husband does try to scold him or correct him, our pup will start barking at him, with a little bit of growl mixed in. How can he correct this? If I scold him, he will stop immediately with the barking, but if my husband does so, he will continue to bark and make a lot of eye contact.
I am not sure if the eye contact is a big deal or not. I have heard so many different theories as to whether it's good or bad. I guess perhaps it depends on the situation, but every time I scold him he tends to avoid eye contact with me. He will occasionally look up with sad puppy eyes, which makes me think he knows he is being scolded, but he will generally look away for the most part. It's the exact opposite with my husband.
The best way to describe it: when you have a dog that loves to fetch, and you show them a tennis ball, that intense concentrated look they give the ball. That's the kind of eye contact he makes with my husband.
You have made great suggestions that I am going to be following through on, and I appreciate it.
I have to ask though, if this is indeed aggression, why would he direct it at my husband?
We picked him out when he was five weeks old, and visited the breeder every weekend till he was ready to come home at 8 weeks. Ever since then he's never experienced anything that would trigger aggression, nor has he ever displayed aggression towards anyone or anything else. He is beyond friendly with strange people and dogs. I am not sure if he will ever fit the breed standard that claims they must be aloof; I have never had a shepherd that loves meeting new people more than this guy does! It is just so strange that he can be so friendly with strangers, then turn around and show aggression towards my husband.
Another thing. We do allow him to sit on the furniture. But when he is taking up a spot, my children or I will order him to move, which he does with no issue. My husband tries it, and our pup will literally just stare at him.
So is he challenging my husband, and is this normal at this age? If not normal, is there something my husband or I could have done to make him behave this way?
As I said, since I have been out in the world on my own, I have only ever adopted adult shepherds from shelters, and while some did have aggression issues, they tended to be aggressive out of fear more than anything. This pup does not have any fear of anything. Loud noises, strange animals, baths, vets office, nothing. So I guess I am just wondering what coUlster be causing the aggression, if aggression is what it is.
He's only 37 lbs at the moment, I wwould love to get this figured out before he hits 80+ lbs. Thanks again for the help everyone!
I suppose someone probably has put out a book on NILIF. But I don't know for sure. Basically, you can just google it and get a lot of great information about the theory. Maybe someone can give you a good link that they found very useful.
I have a Ford Explorer. My dogs ride in crates in the back. I know if there is a crash, my dogs will be in their crates where they are safest, and it will be very unlikely that either of them will end up thrown as missle in the car or thrown out of the car. A seat belt is the next best thing.
Your pup is pretty young to actually be aggressive, but if he feels he should be up front with you, and your husband is taking his normal spot, I don't know. Also when you rough house with your husband, the pup is only biting at him. It sounds like he has chosen you as his person.
I think I would back off and have the husband do the feeding, a good part of the training, and I might even get that seat belt and have the dog stay in the back seat with your kids. I doubt he is confused at this point about where he belongs in the pack, but if we are noticing stuff at this point that possibly could be a problem down the line, maybe it is best to nip it in the bud at this point, when we can probably do it by just steering him in the right direction.
Check out NILIF.

Well I have a Cadillac sts, and there is definitely no room for a crate in there. My husband has seizures so cannot drive. I am the only operator of the vehicle, and our pup has always left me alone when I have driven with him, so I never saw the need to restrain him.
If it's just me in the car, he sits in the passenger seat up front. If it's my whole family (4 people) he sits in the back in between my children.
I am not keen on the idea of crating him in the car. He has a crate at home that he has access to at all times, whenever he wants privacy, but he almost always chooses to be with the family. I feel like I would be sequestering him from the rest of the family if he were crated in the car.
I do however like the idea of a seatbelt though, mainly for his sake rather than me finding him disruptive while I drive. I honestly have never used one on a dog before, I guess the thought never occurred to me.
Do you happen to know if they sell that book in stores, let can you only order online? Thanks for your input!

What does your husband do when the dog bites him? If it is a game to the puppy, your husband needs to stop the game when it gets too rough. If he must, scoop the pup up and put it in its safe place. It might be a good time for your husband to read up on Nothing In Life Is Free, NILIF. It sounds like, since he has not owned a dog before, getting a good foundation on how to be a good leader will help him and the puppy get along better.
As for the behavior in the car, that's crazy. Your dog should be crated or seat belted in the back seat. The dog should not be able to attack (even in play) someone who is in the front seat, driving or a passenger. It is much safer for everyone if the dog is crated in the vehicle and if that doesn't work, good harness/seat belts are available.
|Thank you very much for your input! I had wondered if it might be something along those lines, so its nice to have someone with more puppy experience verify it! My only worry was whether this was playful behavior or a genuine dislike of my husband. If it were the latter, I think my husband would be pretty hurt; he loves this little guy very much! Heres a couple pics of the pair in question!

I have been browsing this site off and on for a while, just never bothered to register. I have been going to con's like SDCC, NYCC, DragonCon, etc for years, but usually as a photographer. I've always wanted to make a boba fett costume, among others. I'm hoping this year to actually start working on a full Boba Fett suit for DC next year. I never really knew just how much went into making a costume like this, as most of the costumes I've done in the past did not involve all that much.
I'm originally from Mississippi, but moved to Charleston, SC a few years ago. I was married for several years, and during that time stopped going to cons and things like that, and after being divorced a few years I've decided to start going again (Just attended DragonCon 2013).. and most importantly, I've decided to finally build that Fett Costume I've been putting off. This place has a LOT of awesome info, so I'm hoping I'll be able to figure out exactly what I need to do to make a fairly accurate costume.
Wish me luck, I'm going to need it!

CHAPEL HILL - University of North Carolina tailback Kelvin Bryant and basketball coach Bill Guthridge are among four Tar Heels in the 11-person Class of 2013 that will be enshrined in the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame.
The 50th annual induction banquet is Thursday, May 2nd, at the Raleigh Convention Center.
Joining Bryant and Guthridge in the Class of 2013 are former Tar Heel sports information director Bob Quincy and longtime photojournalist Hugh Morton, a UNC student in the early 1940s who went on to chronicle the history of Carolina and Atlantic Coast Conference athletics more than 60 years.
Other inductees in the class of 2013 include Ron Francis, Wade Garrett, Tommy Helms, Marion Kirby, Rich McGeorge, Marty Sheets and Mildred Southern.
Bryant, a native of Tarboro, rushed for 3,267 yards from 1979-82, finishing his career as the Tar Heels' third-leading rusher. He averaged 5.5 yards per carry and rushed for 32 scores. He is one of only three Tar Heels to rush for 1,000 yards in at least three seasons. He gained 1,039 as a sophomore, 1,015 as a junior and 1,064 as a senior. He rushed for 211 yards on just 19 carries and set the ACC single-game record with six touchdowns in the 1981 season opener against East Carolina. He added nine more touchdowns over the next two weeks against Miami of Ohio and Boston College. He was a first-team All-ACC selection in 1980, 1981 and 1982 and went on to play professionally in the USFL (earning the league's player of the year honor in 1983) and NFL with the Washington Redskins.
Guthridge led the Tar Heels to two Final Fours in three seasons as head coach and was consensus National Coach of the Year in 1998. He won more games than any college head coach in history after two seasons and tied Everett Case for most coaching victories after three years. He played or coached in 14 Final Fours, more than any person in NCAA history. That includes two as a head coach at Carolina, 10 as a Tar Heel assistant coach, and one each as a player and assistant coach at his alma mater, Kansas State.
The Parsons, Kan., native posted an 80-28 record in three seasons as Carolina's head coach. He directed UNC to the 1998 Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament championship and was named the ACC Coach of the Year.
Guthridge was Dean Smith's assistant for 30 years. He joined the UNC staff in 1967 after five years as assistant to Tex Winter at Kansas State. In his 33 seasons at Carolina, the Tar Heels won two NCAA championships (1982 and 1993), played in 12 Final Fours, won the ACC Tournament championship 13 times and played in the ACC Tournament championship game a total of 22 times. He was a part of 867 wins in 33 seasons at Carolina and 960 college coaching victories overall, including 93 wins on the staff at Kansas State.
A member of the North Carolina Journalism Hall of Fame, Quincy won the state's Sportswriter of the Year award five times. He was an undergraduate at UNC before leaving to fly 30 combat missions over Europe in a B-17 bomber during World War II. He began his newspaper career at the Rocky Mount Telegram and later became sports editor of the Charlotte News. He was sports information director at UNC from 1962 until 1966, before returning to Charlotte to work in radio and television. Quincy was hired as sports columnist for the Charlotte Observer in 1971 and remained on that staff until his death in 1984. The UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication offers the Bob Quincy Memorial Scholarship. Quincy authored two books, including one on Tar Heel football star Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice.
Morton was a many-faceted man who turned Grandfather Mountain into one of the state's treasures. As a fierce defender of nature, he was one of North Carolina's most staunch conservationists. Morton was also a world-class photographer, which placed him squarely into the state's sports realm. His vast collection of photographs includes perhaps one of the most extensive sports collections in the nation, and it documents the men and women who have close ties to both the ACC and the Southern Conference. Morton served as a board member and past president of the N.C. Sports Hall of Fame.
Morton photographed Carolina football and basketball from the 1940s to the 2000s, capturing a countless number of the most iconic images in Tar Heel history. From Justice to Don McCauley, Dean Smith, Phil Ford, Michael Jordan and Vince Carter, Morton's images captured them all on film.
Ticket information for the induction banquet is available at www.ncsportshalloffame.org or by calling (919) 845-3455. The N.C. Sports Hall of Fame is located at 5 East Edenton Street in Raleigh, was established in 1963. The permanent exhibit N.C. Sports Hall of Fame at the N.C. Museum of History features significant artifacts donated by the inductees. The museum is open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
"The achievements of this year's class of inductees enrich our state's remarkable sports heritage, and they certainly earned the honor of joining the 289 men and women who have been previously enshrined," said Dr. Janie Brown, president of the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. " This is our 50th class and we will have a program to celebrate this special time in our state's sports history."

Laurent Koscielny insists Tuesday night's point at Schalke could prove crucial as Arsenal battle to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
First-half goals from Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud have Arsène Wenger's side a two-goal lead before Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Jefferson Farfan struck to earn the home side a point.
Despite sacrificing their advantage at the Veltins-Arena, Koscielny believes a draw was a decent result.
"It's a good point," the defender told Arsenal Player. "We are away so it's a good point against a difficult team. When we went 2-0 [up], I thought we could keep this result. We tried to come back but Schalke are a very good side.
"Now we have two games - one at home against Montpellier. I think it's very important to win that one.
"It's a very difficult group. Schalke play very well, and you have Olympiacos and Montpellier. It's difficult to qualify. We have the cards in our hands to qualify for the [next stages of the] Champions League. The game against Montpellier will be crucial."

The religion has increased by 100% and decreased by 50%. Now, you can't really add percentages, but I have just grown 50%! Ha! By adding no people!

I had my 73 Buick Riviera repainted 3+ years ago. Within a few weeks the paint around the sideview mirrors began to lift in a ripple or wrinkle as if the mirrors were installed and pushed into soft paint. The same problem developed around other areas such as door lock cylinders, body moldings(wheel, trunk lid, doors and rear window). The paint is now hard and brittle and has chipped off of one rippled area. The owner of the shop said he has never seen this problem before. After doing a little researc h at the store where the paint was purchased it was suggested that the paint might be too thick. The car was painted without stripping(at my request and with the owners agreement)and has had two previous repaints which the shop was aware of. They are now saying the problem is due to too much paint (thickness) on the car. Being a car owner and not a paint expert I am looking for information, suggestions, knowledge of similar problems or other causes of this condition. I have been trying to resolve this with the shop owner in an amicable manner for several years and have just been put off and stalled. All moldings, door handles, etc. were removed prior to body work, prep and paint. PPG Basecoat Clearcoat was used to paint car. Responses appreciated.
maxriv73 1st off welcome to the CC forum. Prep is everything in a paint job. It sounds almost like the paint lifting form not painting quick enough between coats & the paint flashed so you no longer have the proper adhesion between coats, if you don't get the next coat on in the proper time the paint will some times wrinkle & lift in time or just peel off. The other possible thought is that the surface below the new paint wasn't sealed properly & was not compatible with the new paint on top & caused lifting. Different style/blends paints are subject to that type of thing. I'm not a pro-painter by any means, but I have seen & heard of those kind of issues in the past. Just my thoughts. Good luck. Budnicks
"Fill Your Library Before You Fill Your Garage" Good Luck "Budnicks"
I would say it probably was not sanded and cleaned properly in those areas or the paint may have been applied too thick to quick.
Professional hi-performance engine builderHorsepower sells Engines and torque wins races.
Sounds like theres lacquer underneath the 2nd repaint, and everywhere it was sanded through, the lacquer was exposed. Probably was not covered with a suitable thickness of primer to isolate the lacquer job. So the simple answer is yes the paint is too thick. Not applied too thick, but built up too thick. The person who decided it was OK to put fresh paint over an unknown thickness of an existing finish is the mistake maker. There are paint thickness guages for avoiding these situations. To fix, strip and re-apply.
Well i guessed wrong, i was thinking that it wasn't the right primer/sealer that caused it. Safe to say now thats why i didn't say anything... Learned something new! Seems the owner of the shop should have been aware of this being a shop that does this work. IMO..
I have had similar problems... the answer i have found is that it is due to 1 or more of the following. Improper hardener, surface to cold when sprayed and "piling" the paint on when it was sprayed. I have also heard that "fanning" will cause it too. but i'm no expert

"This recipe is to die for. The puffed pastry makes the perfect light, flaky crust you want, and the salmon is so flavorful baked inside. The seasonings do not need to be changed and the cucumber sauce is an excellent compliment. The first time I made it I felt I made way to much cucumber sauce though. One cucumber makes a lot. I have made this many, many times along with the baby spinich, strawaberry, and pecan salad with raspberry vingerette dressing and it makes a very elegant presentation, or is great to eat when hungry for it. This is definately a keeper."

CARY, N.C. - The University of North Carolina men's tennis team advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2013 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Tennis Tournament after defeating Miami 4-0 in a first-round match Thursday morning.
Coach Sam Paul's Tar Heels cruised to the doubles point and then decisively won three singles matches over the Hurricanes, closing out the match in less than two and a half hours. UNC improved to 12-12 on the campaign while Miami fell to 13-13. It was a beautiful morning for tennis at the Cary Tennis Park with 65 degree temperatures and sunny skies.
The Tar Heels secured a date with second-ranked Virginia, the tournament's #1 seed, in Friday's quarterfinal round at the Cary Tennis Park.
UNC achieved early breaks in doubles on courts two and three. 86th-ranked Brett Clark and Esben Hess-Olesen defeated Gabriel Flores and Diego Soto at the #2 spot 8-4. Oystein Steiro then served out the clinching game at #3 as he and James Coxe triumphed over Marco Stancati and Henrique Tsuakamoto 8-5.
Carolina continued its momentum in singles play, taking four of the five first sets that were completed before the match was called. Brett Clark was the first off the court for the Heels as he earned his 20th overall singles win of his freshman campaign with a double bagel against Gabriel Flores, 6-0, 6-0. Oystein Steiro was almost as efficient as he defeated Victor Mauz 6-2, 6-0 at the #5 spot.
Sophomore Esben Hess-Olesen, ranked 43rd nationally, swept his opponent, Diego Soto, in the first set before clinching the match for the Tar Heels 6-3 in the second.

By 2013, 11 million U.S. workers will be using cell phones, "smartphones" such as BlackBerrys or the iPhone, and tablets such as the iPad to maintain and manage their organization's remote assets. Mobile resource management (MRM) applications maximize an organization's investment in such equipment.
Wireless devices come with GPS technology that, when combined with one or more applications, enables employees to complete location-stamped activities from the field. As a manager, you'll get a more detailed, real-time understanding of where they are at any given time and can use this information to improve dispatching, efficiency, and productivity.
Begin by talking to your wireless carrier's sales representative. Ask what applications they offer and how each will or won't meet specific operational and budgetary needs. Options range from basic location monitoring to fully integrated applications that sync with back-office systems such as payroll or inventory. In most instances, capabilities can be expanded as needs change regardless of the device brand. The process can be completed within weeks.
Here are responses to potential objections about the additional investment required to take advantage of these tools.
Myth #1: It's complicated and expensive.
Maybe in the old days, when proprietary systems required customized design, installing dedicated servers, and software packages that could add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. But by 2008, according to Frost & Sullivan, "the ability to monitor and track from any Internet-capable PC and the explosion of low-cost GPS-enabled mobile devices has injected affordability and flexibility into today's purchase decision."
As a result, functionality that used to require a complete back-office overhaul is available for a fraction of the cost. Applications are installed on the device and, because they allow managers to view employee location and job information from any computer via a secure Web site, eliminate the need to install software on computers.
Service is billed monthly by the wireless carrier, with basic applications available for a few dollars per employee to more feature-rich products ranging from $20 to $45/employee. Be sure to ask about volume discounts.
Myth #2: Paper is a necessary evil.
Industry data suggests that at the low end, paperwork-related activities cost $10/form.
If you have 20 field employees making five calls a day that each require two forms, that's 52,000 forms a year. At $10/form, there's potential to save nearly $500,000 by eliminating paperwork. Morale improves when technicians learn they can invest that time on more meaningful activities.
Some operations have implemented a fully wireless workflow. When field technicians clock in and out, track mileage, update job status, capture signatures, and update inventory systems based on parts used on a job, the information is automatically sent to payroll, inventory management, and job dispatch systems. They don't fill out and return forms to the office, and office employees no longer manually enter the data into the appropriate system.
Myth #3: Our paper forms provide all the data we need.
Mobile employees have access to rich, actionable data. Organizations that rely solely on paper leave significant operational intelligence in the field.
A technician can send real-time customer feedback, collect signatures, and take photos that are instantly transmitted to an organization's customer relationship management or enterprise resource planning system. Just as important, the technician pulls accurate, up-to-date customer, job, and inventory data from the system or accesses product manual and training guides, increasing on-the-job effectiveness.
Myth #4: Fuel costs will go up.
You can't control gasoline and diesel prices, but you can efficiently dispatch technicians, eliminate unnecessary trips to the office, reduce speeding, monitor idling times, and reduce mileage with voice-guided, turn-by-turn GPS navigation to jobsites.
MRM products provide location information you can use to optimize an employee's daily routes to avoid overlap.
An Aberdeen Group survey found that MRM reduces fuel costs by 13.2% and miles traveled by 19.2%.
Myth #5: There's no foolproof way to ensure accountability.
Employees who claim their mobile device will be used against them are usually pleasantly surprised at how much more meaningful work it allows them to accomplish in a day.
MRM products record the location of employees throughout the day, making it easy to tell when a particular technician was at a location and for how long. But most managers use this information to help employees work smarter and more efficiently. Because they can see where every crew is at any given time, managers can quickly reassign jobs or interrupt work at one site to respond to an emergency at another. And they often send details, such as the nature of a complaint, so crew members know what to expect when they arrive.
Well-documented records also substantiate when and how services were provided. GPS location tagging and detailed forms provide a bulletproof data trail when service disputes arise or litigation is threatened.
Myth #6: Establishing accountability is nearly impossible.
How do you ensure field workers are reporting their hours accurately? Paper time sheets can be altered or lost. Time clocks waste time and fuel. Overtime mismanagement and time sheet data entry compound labor expense issues.
Wireless time card capabilities use GPS to associate the time stamp with location when an employee logs in and out. You can also ask your provider to configure the product to provide labor codes and overtime alerts.
In a 2007 Aberdeen Group study, firms that had implemented mobile resource management reduced overtime an average of 13.4%, which translated to $496,493 in savings.
Myth #7: Dispatchers and technicians can only communicate via phone.
Any conversation can be misunderstood, and to record information a field technician must stop what he's doing or pull over.
Usually, when an emergency call comes in, the dispatcher must call every technician to determine who's both closest to the job and most easily available. The alternative, sending an available technician who's far away, wastes fuel.
MRM products eliminate the potential for error and improve response time.
When a call comes in, the dispatcher sees the exact location and activity of every technician simultaneously, simplifying the task of evaluating who's closest and most available. The mobile device audibly alerts the technician to the emergency and provides the job type, priority, and customer history. If he doesn't respond within a predetermined length of time, the dispatcher can call to find out why.
When the technician updates status, the manager receives a message that the job's been successfully completed and the employee is available to be dispatched to the next location.
Myth #8: It's difficult to monitor safety in the field.
Using GPS information provided by a mobile device, MRM applications can determine the speed at which an employee is driving and automatically alert management via text or the Web-based portal when a predetermined speed is exceeded. If a technician has an accident or a vehicle is disabled, the manager can quickly identify the location and send help.
Some products also incorporate "hot key" functionality, which is a preset panic button. For example, when a technician sent to repair a portion of a bridge in an unsafe area presses the key, the manager will be able to see where to send help. Managers also can verify a technician's location and route him away from unsafe weather conditions or routes.
Myth #9: None of this matters to customers.
On the contrary, Aberdeen Group's research shows that MRM improves response time almost 24%.
The products can use GPS data to determine how far a technician is from a site, enabling the manager to give a customer an accurate arrival time estimate. This helps the customer prepare for the employee's arrival so the technician doesn't waste time waiting onsite.
GPS data can also be used to resolve any disputes regarding if and when a technician reached the site. PW

Tom Whittaker's death in 1956, only a few months after he relinquished the position of manager due to ill health, proved the good old days – at least for the time being – were over.
Arsenal had slipped into decline. Gerry Ward recalled: "There was a belief at the Club that directors wouldn't splash out on huge bids for a player. Football was changing. If you wanted top players, you had to pay top money. It wasn't a great time to be an Arsenal player, to be honest. The fans used to get on our case. I was hyped as the next big thing because I was home grown and so young, but I didn't really progress as well as I – or the crowd – had hoped."
The Arsenal team of the late 1950s had some fine performers, including David Herd, Derek Tapscott and Jimmy Bloomfield. But there was a feeling that too few were genuinely top class performers, and that 'Gentleman' Jack Crayston, a legendary Gunners defender from the 1930s, and who took over as Arsenal manager from Tom Whittaker in '56, wasn't the man to turn around the Gunners' fortunes.
From the outset, it all looked so promising. When Crayston was appointed Arsenal manager in 1956, after the death of Tom Whittaker, the Islington Gazette spoke enthusiastically of "a shrewd appointment, which will draw on the experience of a bona fide Arsenal man."
He became the first Arsenal manager not to combine the post of secretary, these duties being delegated to Bob Wall. Crayston was therefore free to concentrate solely on team selection, but the difficulties began almost immediately. The much vaunted youth system had failed to produce another Alex James or Cliff Bastin, which Whittaker had predicted would happen in the early '50s. Attendances had also slipped. The post-war crowds, which regularly swelled Highbury gates to 60,000, now often fell to around half that.
Crayston didn't have the benefit of available transfer funds, but he certainly couldn't be faulted for a lack of effort. His promotion of David Herd from the reserves proved fruitful, as he netted 12 goals from 22 appearances in his first season, facilitating a fifth place finish, after a stuttering start in Whittaker's final months. A 2-1 defeat against WBA in the FA Cup Sixth Round was not an unreasonable achievement for Crayston in his first season, but he knew that progress was required during the 1957/58 campaign if he was to be judged a success.
But the Gunners would endure a hugely difficult campaign, and 'gentleman' Jack appeared powerless to stop a tidal wave of discontent. The team wasn't manned by top class performers. The defence simply wasn't robust enough, and conceded an astonishing 85 goals in '57/58. Although David Herd was developing into a top class forward, and scored 24 goals, Danny Clapton and Joe Haverty on the wings were proving extremely inconsistent.
Arsenal's disastrous defeat in the FA Cup Third Round against Northampton practically sealed Crayston's fate, although he did have the honour of managing the team against Manchester United in one of Highbury's greatest games. Although the Gunners lost 5-4 to the Busby Babes' in their last match before the Munich air crash, goals by Tapscott, Bloomfield (2) and Herd showed the long term possibilities of Arsenal's attacking formation; if Crayston could only have reinforced the rest of the squad. In May 1958, after 24 years' service at Highbury, he tendered his resignation after less than two years in the job.
Arsenal turned to another star from the '30s to turn around their fortunes, Peterborough manager George Swindin, but like Crayston before him, he would soon discover that a trophy laden playing career at Highbury meant little in the harsh world of football management.
Swindin later recalled that his turbulent four year spell in charge of the Gunners was often punctuated by ill fortune: "Every time I thought we were on the right track, and the Club was getting back to where I wanted it to be, something bad happened," recalled the straight talking, under-stated Yorkshireman. "Either someone got injured, or left the Club."
By his own admission, his blunt manner hardly endeared him to several Arsenal stars, and occasionally, he seemed ill suited to deal with the changing nature of football in the late '50s and early '60s. "Football was a different world from the one I operated in during the '30s and '40s," he explained. "Footballers were becoming more aware of their market value and their rights".
Swindin tore into his job at the start of 1958/59 with gusto, recalling: "I must have worked 14-hour days for months on end. It was an all consuming task, and all I thought about was which players to sign in order to turn Arsenal into a real force once again."
He operated a 'revolving door' transfer policy during the summer of 1958. Into the side came Preston's abrasive Scottish international winghalf Tommy Docherty, and Portsmouth's former outside left Jackie Henderson. But out went Tapscott, Cliff Holton, and Stan Charlton. The inconsistent Gerry Ward was converted to wing half and maintained his place in the side. After six matches, the Gunners were the highest scoring side in the in the First Division, and at the midway point they were top.
Goalkeeper Jack Kelsey recalled: "There was a real sense of optimism that George could turn things around. He was buzzing about the prospects of what the team could do, and there was even talk of a Championship challenge." But crucially, injuries derailed the title challenge, and although Arsenal finished third – their best performance in six years – the tone was set for the rest of Swindin's troubled spell in charge. Herd, Bowen, Henderson, Ward and Vic Groves were all sidelined for long periods in the New Year, and Jack Kelsey broke his arm against Sheffield United in the FA Cup, as Arsenal crashed out 3-0.
The 1959/60 season saw the Gunners finish 11th, after a bright start to the season, where they lay a handy fourth behind Spurs, Wolves and Burnley after just 11 matches. Injuries to Dennis Evans, new signing Mel Charles and crucially, Docherty's broken leg once again badly disrupted the side.
After the Gunners were dumped out of the FA Cup to Second Division Rotherham, the tide was about to turn irrevocably against Swindin.
- Gerry Ward had become Arsenal's youngest ever debutant when he took his bow at home to Huddersfield aged just 16 years 322 days in August 1953
- Gunners player Gordon Nutt later went on to become a film director when he emigrated to Australia
- For one season only, South African born Danny Le Roux was registered as a Gunners player, making five League appearances for the club. He's not to be confused with famous drag performer Danny La Rue!

Dug deep into a long holdout that is becoming more costly each day, for both him and his team, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew told NFL.com in a Wednesday interview, "I think things are going to work out ... everything's going to be good."
Fantasy Analysis:
Good for whom? It's not good for Jones-Drew, who is losing money and valuable time with his teammates, preparing to go to work. It's not good for the Jaguars. Their brass has stood firm on their stance to not renegotiate MJD's contract. But I'm sure they would rather not want to head into this season without their best player. Maybe this is only good for Rashad Jennings , Jones-Drew's backup who now appears to be the team's clear starter. He can catch and is big enough to handle work on all three downs. He should be in the RB2 discussion.
In that same interview today, Jones-Drew said that you should draft him No. 1 overall in fantasy. He says that every year, but now I think it's a stretch to take him prior to Round 4.

Congrats, stay safe and enjoy your new addition.....JJ
New to forum but not handguns and shooting. I am a Smith guy mostly. I own a quite a few wheel guns and collect/shoot 1st-3rd gen S&W semi autos. I have been wanting a quality pocket carry 9mm. I stopped by my LGS last night and he had this in the case. It fit my hand perfectly and I just had to have it. I know my LGS owner well and he said that he knew original owner. He also said that he took it out himself and put 50 rounds through it without any issues. So I took a chance. (I had heard the negative reviews) Tonight I put 20 rounds of 124gr Federal Hydro Shok and 20 rounds of Hornady 124gr JHP. No issues at all. So I tried some of my target 115 gr Sellior Bellot for kicks to see what would happen. I kept waiting fora stove pipe or jam but they never cam. I put 100 rounds of the 115gr SB. So 140 rounds total.
I really love this gun. It shoots straight, fits my hands well and has the power I have been looking for.
Please excuse the quality of the pic. It was best I could do without good light.
Congrats, stay safe and enjoy your new addition.....JJ
Did your gunshop owner friend offer any reason that the original owner traded it in? I have a recent production Solo, and it has worked 100% with anything I've fed it; the owner's manual continues to prescribe the heavier bullet premium stuff, but mine will even run on snakeshot.
Mine has become my instant favorite for pocket carry.
It gets so old reading the same old lines. Kimber Ed Brown Les Baer if someone has a particular favorite everything else becomes crap. I have had hand guns for years when the manufactures directions are followed most are awesome.
Own 5 Kimbers ED Brown Wilson Combat all awesome
Hey, I'm not throwing stones at my other pistols; it's just that the Solo is a great combination of size and power.
I was having an extraction issue with mine that led to a two week trip to the mother ship; problem appears to be completely resolved as I shot the hell out of it when it returned.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Just have to say that Jack's "Sun cat" is a really nice looking boat! And, what an affordable way to get out on the water...
LB in Portland, OR
Even if you have the funds for a larger boat, consider that may not be the wisest action. The physical and emotional demands of larger boats may prove too great a burden as you age. Stick with a boat that you can safely and comfortably handle. Compromise is perhaps wise. I have seen a few friends who bought boats that were too large for them as they aged, and sailed less, finally selling the boats and getting out of sailing. Very sad.
Know your limitation
I live in Milwaukee and a local gentleman and his pal, both in mid to late 80s are one Lake Michigan with fair regularity. Know your limitations and plan for the unexpected.
|Well, I'm 54 and feeling it. But I have discovered a wonderful labor saving plan. I have been harnessing the unlimited power of teenagers. The selection process must be followed carefully to remove the squinty eyed hemp users, and the "vidiots". I've included some small percentage of drop outs to get the re-connected with doing something worthwhile. When you just give them a job to do, you don't get much out of them, but when you give them your self, they will work till they drop. So, strangely enough, the way to tap this resource is not to care about their work, but to care about their souls. Works for me, works for them, and I will never worry about who to take sailing with me.
At 72 I'll admit to occasional flashes of CRS (can't remember stuff). So keep it simple. Avoid change. It helps that I've been sailing the same boat for 46 years.
As Ogden Nash said, "Progress might have been all right once, but it has gone on too long."
getting Older?
At 62 and with a bad back and bad knees I am not about to give up the thing I love the most, Sailing. I have rigged my 1976 30' Hunter so once I leave the dock I don't have to leave the cockpit. All of my lines including reefing lines run to the cockpit. Last season I installed Lazy Jacks so even after I drop the sail, I can wait to flake the main. My one big expense was a windlass. I wear a tethered harness and life vest when I am out by myself for safety and I am always very careful where i put my feet and hands. So far being over 60 hasn't caused me to stop sailing in fact now that I am retired I get to go much more often. Enjoy life while you can -you never know. Jeff - captain of the River Dragon.
circumnavigation and the not retired person...
I'm 53 and planning on a 5-10 year circumnavigation, might be single handed but don't want it to be. I've got the boat a 45 steel ketch, busy working on it right now. You can see it all on my web site. The main hurdle I've got to overcome is selling the old boat a 38 Hughes, The boat market is real soft right now. It's a good blue water boat that I originally was going to start the trip in, till I found my dream boat, that I thought I might never be able to afford. I still want to get married and have kids, all on the boat, all while circumnavigating. I've got a farm in Kansas to retire too. I'm not retired, too young for that... just not working, also not getting paid, so money is real tight, but I get by. Life can be real inexpensive if you choose it to be on a boat. I row a dingy, ride a bike, and have a full machine shop on board. I salvage a lot of the stuff I need and love the thrift shops and bargain hunting. My ebay number is pretty high and climbing. I've bought all my big boats on there. I've always lived an adventurous life and been able to stretch a dollar real hard, and can jury rig fix just about anything.
As for things the retired boater needs, other than what's been mentioned that I agree with, I'd have to go with a young wife and kids to do all the work.... Just kidding.... I plan to have friends join me for legs of the trip, basically I don't want to sail alone, but have and feel I can with no problem. The main thing is the KISS principle, keep it simple, S....
See you on the water. I'm still working on the problem of a frieghter encounter when I'm trying to catch 40 winks and the self steering gear is busy doing it's thing. I'm real good at waking up just before the one hour alarm goes off, doing the watch and getting back to sleep in minutes. Jon
Sorry no pic. But I took early retirement as one gets intimations of declining physical ability in the late 50's. However although I can still swing around a monohull like a monkey in a cage the switch to a cat (gemini 105) has meant my wife can now enjoy prolonged sails and also (?more important) the dog who, at the canine equivalent of a century, really likes to snug down and feel safe. The only thing she doesn't like is being hoisted 10' + up a harbour wall.
The power windlass is a great boon; winches, well it's probably cheaper to get more favourable ratios than electric motors, if you can't haul it then you need smaller sails or to sail less hard on the wind, a cutter rig or a ketch?
Oh and the other suggestion is don't stop, there's no need of lots of health insurance/provision for senility, if you don't make it back from a trip the sea is kinder than a care home.
An "old fart" having fun!
At age 59 - I'm now one of the older guys at my marina. I'm happy to say that I haven't yet noticed any problems due to my age but I might be taking a little longer to do the things I breezed through 10 or 15 years ago. Because we're all about the same age on my dock - we all enjoy life at about the same pace. Sailing is all about enjoying life at life's own pace. Bill on STARGAZER
25 years ago
Exactly 25 years ago, Marvin Creamer was 68 and sailing around the globe without instruments. He is now 92 and no longer sails, but he is still very knowledgeable. I am not permitted to post a link here because I don't have enough posts, but if you google Creamer's name, you will get the website named for his boat. I am 70 and prefer smaller craft that can be trailored and single-handed. It makes me feel like a kid again.

Mercs topic
I posted this question over on the Mercs board to get ideas rolling for the new Mandalorian characters that will be shown in the Clone Wars season 2.
Since these characters are Mandalorians in general, I thought I'd pose the subject here to get some serious discussion going on what will and won't be acceptable should this costume be considered for canon admittance into the 501st.
To start, here are a few screen caps from the season 2 preview.
Here's what we know so far: (not relying on the holo-image, but on the closeup and the "hero" walk of the four together...)
OVERALL: Blue and grey colors with a touch of white for the "commander"
HELMET: Commander: Grey overall with blue upper cheeks.
white triple striping from the center of the brow
trooper: grey overall with blue mandables
ARMOR: blue flight suit with grey armor plating
It's hard to tell, but it looks like the commander has heavy thigh plating and the troops do not.
Commander: shoulder cape similar in style to Boba, but on the right shoulder.
WEAPONRY: No discernible BFG, but all appear to have Jango-style double blasters from the holsters on the thighs.
OTHER CHARACTERISTICS: No view is available yet of the lower legs below the knees, but other than the above-mentioned things, the rest of the armor appears to be standard Super Commando armor.
Granted, I'm not the final say on what will or won't be kosher for this character. I would just like to open this up for ideas and thoughts on what it would take to accurately represent these characters.

All you have to do is look at their faces and you know – there is no denying the family resemblance between Ashley, Mychal and Brandi English. Appearance and genetics aside, their University of St. Thomas education is yet another common thread that links the three siblings.
After Ashley graduated in 2007 followed by Mychal in 2009, Brandi jokes that her family saved the best for last. Earning a dual degree in political science and communication, English is among the 328 undergraduates and 350 graduate students who will participate in the 61st commencement ceremony on May 14 at Reliant Arena. After graduation, she will intern with State Representative Jessica Farrar.
From elementary through high school, English said she was always known as Ashley and Mychal's younger sister. When the time came to choose a college, she was reluctant to continue that trend by attending UST with her brother and sister. Instead of living in her siblings' shadow, she learned how to "be Brandi," how to become a leader, and how make the UST experience her own.
"At UST, Ashley and Mychal set the bar, and I either had to exceed or maintain their level of success," she said. "The more I got involved on campus, the more people knew me for me. The curriculum at UST really helped me develop as a person and I have grown in so many other ways than just intellectually. Theology classes gave me greater insight into my faith and the philosophy classes taught me about my soul. I was truly able to find myself at St. Thomas."
While at UST, English was a resident assistant and worked in the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. She was active in Student Government Association, Black Student Union, Presidential Ambassadors, Student Activities Board, Campus Programming Committee, Residence Council and Judicial Board.
English parlayed her strength in communication and interest in politics to pursue her goal to become a political campaign communication director. English said she gained the knowledge and practical skills at UST that will prepare her to achieve that goal.
"UST students graduate with practical experience, not just theories," English said. "Our classes are so small and intimate that students are able to go out in the real world and report back to class what they learned in their internships and volunteer jobs."
English said she was able to land many of her internships courtesy of faculty connections at UST. In addition to her studies and numerous campus commitments, English was promoted to staff writer after being an editorial intern at JMG Magazine and worked as a marketing and development intern with Catholic Charities. She also traveled to Austin to speak with legislators to advocate for the Texas Equalization Grant and volunteered with Sheila Jackson Lee's 18th District Congressional Campaign and Gene Locke's 2010 Houston Mayoral campaign.
Shown above: Brandi stands with her brother, Mychal, seated at left and sister, Ashley, seated at right.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger takes his side to Dortmund for their Champions League Group F opener on Tuesday so, to find out more about our German opponents, we also asked Ulrich Klose of RTL for his thoughts and analysis.
It's a massive game for Arsenal against the German champions and obviously they will want to go out and get another good result off the back of the win against Swansea. What Arsène Wenger will have to do, as he has many times in Europe before, is control the game and keep the crowd quiet. They will need to keep the ball and keep steady in possession. I don't think the Germans will actually press them that high up the field. It may well be a slow-tempo game, which will suit Arsenal. I think Wenger would be happy with a point. He still has to bed the team in and work with them in training to make sure they have a better understanding. But there's no doubt Arsenal can go and win this.
Dortmund have a special history in German football. Everyone in Germany is proud that they are back in the Champions League for the first time in eight years. This game sold out in just four hours and everyone is very excited. They will be absolutely going to win the game because you need to win your home games if you want to go through the Group Stages. Dortmund have a young team and are very ambitious. They are fast, strong and have very good players like Mario Gotze.

By James Dohnert
Last week California lawmakers asked the question: Why are local businesses leaving the Golden State for the Lone Star state? "Why does Chief Executive magazine rate California the worst state for job and business growth and Texas the best state?" said GOP Assemblyman Dan Logue during a recent fact-finding trip to Texas.
This year, 2011, has already seen 70 businesses leave California for greener pastures. Fourteen of those 70 businesses ended up in Texas. Why? It may have something to with California's higher taxes, or regulatory climate, or even laws intended to help employees. "You can't build in California, you can't manage in California and you have to pay a big tax," said recent Texas convert and CEO of Hardee's Restaurants Andy Puzder, talking to legislators.
California has environmental laws intended to keep an already vulnerable ecosystem in check while Texas does not. And it's California's progressive environmental protection policy that may be losing it jobs. According to Hardee's CEO Puzder, it takes six months to two years to secure permits to build a new Carl's Jr. restaurant in the Golden State, versus the six weeks it takes in Texas. (Carl's Jr. and Hardees are owned by the same company.) "The red tape is ridiculous," said B. Knightly Homes Managing Partner Mark Tolley.
An example of the sort of regulations businesses are leaving behind can be found in a California law that requires overtime pay after an eight-hour day, rather than a 40-hour work week. Such regulations, Puzder believes, wreak havoc on flexible work schedules based on actual need. But the straw that broke the camel's back for former California businesses may have been the tax code. While California taxes are some of the highest in the country, Texas has no income or capital gains tax at all. And though Texas and California are both suffering from budget deficits, it's the lone star state that has no plans to raise taxes.
So after all is said and done, there is pressure for California lawmakers to choose between creating more businesses-friendly laws for the sake of jobs, or continuing to put a priority on citizen focused legislature. Where do you stand on the issue? Does job creation need to become the priority in California? Sound off in the comments section below. Also be sure to checkout upcoming Commonwealth Club lectures that may touch on the issue, such as:
Willie Brown Jr.: 2011 Annual Lecture on Political Trends
Join former two-term San Francisco Mayor (and former state legislative speaker) Willie Brown on May 26 for a discussion on the future of state and federal politics.
Hear what California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein has to say about the state's climate policy going forward and the country's foreign policy in a special Climate One discussion on April the 27th.
On May 3, hear about the challenges the new Mayor of San Francisco is facing and his plans for dealing with them.

Resident Input Wanted!
The City of New Haven is seeking resident input about housing, environmental, transportation and economic concerns in order to update our Comprehensive Plan, an important planning document that will serve as a guide for the City�s planning goals and objectives for the next ten years.
I encourage all New Haven residents to take a few minutes and share their valuable input by filling out this brief survey. The collective results will be included in the Comprehensive Plan update and will help to shape the City�s future.
The survey is quick and easy�it only takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The survey is available online in English here: http://svy.mk/10xKSuN and in Spanish here: http://svy.mk/19TZ0Vr. The survey will be available online for six weeks, until August 19th.
The City of New Haven�s Comprehensive Plan is a long-range plan that provides the vision and guidance for the physical growth and development of the city over a ten year period. It is a realistic assessment of the existing condition of the city, a blue print of the city�s vision for the future, and a policy guide for achieving the city�s planning goals. It serves as a decision making guide for residents and elected and appointed local government officials in matters relating to land use, public investments, and capital improvement programs.
The update of the City�s Comprehensive Plan is mandated by the state of Connecticut to happen every ten years. The Comprehensive Plan focuses primarily on the physical development of the city. More specific public policy issues such as public safety or education are partially covered by the plan but are more thoroughly addressed by other agency plans. In addition to serving as a guide for the next ten years, the Comprehensive Plan update functions as a yardstick to measure the progress made by the Comprehensive Planning goals and recommendations set in 2003, as well as other changes in the city.
