Emirates Stadium Week continues today on Arsenal.com as we look back on the inception and construction of the Gunners' state-of-the-art new ground.
Here are some of the most memorable quotes on Arsenal's new home dating back as far as October 2003:
October 2003
"In terms of funding it is a complicated process. We are dealing with a number of banks who have to go off to credit committees. We are making good progress and we would hope to be able to come to some kind of conclusion by the end of the year. We feel fairly confident but we have to put a bit of caution into that because we haven't actually achieved it yet. However we are working very hard to do it. We can predict returns based on the number of people attending and the price they are going pay. We have very good coverage ratios on the project. When we have gone to banks to go through the projects we have got coverage rate far above the minimum. Investment in the stadium has got a very good [rate of] return in the long term."
Arsenal's Managing Director, Keith Edelman, on funding for the new stadium project
"We now have a stadium design that is fully developed. We
have a fixed price contract agreed with Sir Robert McAlpine. They
have been outstanding so far at Lough Road and we are delighted to
have them as our contractor for the new stadium. Depending on
financing, we are ready to start construction of the stadium in the
first quarter of next year. It is a substantial project. We have
received, in total, planning consent for 372,000 square metres or
approximately 4 million square feet. That makes this one of the
largest regeneration developments in London. We only wanted to
build a new stadium and stay in Islington. This was our first
choice and that of many of our supporters."
Arsenal Director, Danny Fiszman, speaking at the Club AGM
February 2004
"We believe we have now effectively concluded the pre construction phase of the project and secured the Stadium for Arsenal with all its benefits. This is a very considerable achievement given the complexity of the project across an enormous range of issues and that, in addition to the Stadium, we will also be delivering one of the largest regeneration schemes in the country. A lot of people have worked very hard to bring us this far but I would particularly like to thank Islington Council, who have worked alongside us from the outset, the London Development Agency and the Mayor for all their support. We now look forward to working with our banking group and chosen constructor, McAlpine, as we move into the construction phase of the project."
Edelman on securing funding for the new stadium
"This is excellent news for Arsenal. Over recent years we
have established ourselves as one of the leading clubs in Europe
and the Stadium, which we can now positively look forward to, will
provide us with the opportunity to sustain and build on this
position. The financing of the Group is now very complex, but
throughout the financing structure we have retained the twin
objectives of continued investment in our outstanding playing squad
and separate funding for the building of the Stadium."
Arsenal Chairman, Peter Hill-Wood, on funding the new stadium
"Moving to a new stadium is obviously a big change for the
Club, after calling Highbury home for so long. I believe moving
from Highbury is the right decision in order to progress. The new
stadium will be impressive and will definitely be the envy of
clubs, not only in England, but across the world. It's great
that the funding has been confirmed and the Club can now look
forward to moving to the new stadium in August 2006."
The then-Arsenal captain, Patrick Vieira
"Obviously I will regret the team leaving Highbury,
although I have not played here as long as some of my team-mates,
it has a special atmosphere for me. But if you want to move forward
and be a bigger team in Europe, you need this kind of great
stadium. And for the fans it will be lovely. A lot of my friends
and a lot of people in London can't get tickets for Highbury,
so it's great that many more supporters will be able to go to
matches in the new stadium."
Vieira's successor, Thierry Henry
"I've enjoyed every minute that I've played at
Highbury; it's a special place. But I think everyone knows that
this great old stadium isn't sufficient for a Club of
Arsenal's ambitions. Certainly most games we play could be
watched by thousands more who can't get tickets. Moving just
down the road to a 60,000 capacity stadium seems the ideal solution
to me. I don't know if I'll get to play there which is a
shame, but the Club deserves it."
Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp
"We're a very proud old club with a wonderful heritage
and a unique, special old stadium but we're now in the position
where I think staying at Highbury is detrimental to the Club's
future progress. It's fantastic that the funding for the
project is now in place and means that everyone can now fully focus
on actually building the stadium. I've learned the 'Arsenal
way' of doing things during more than 20 years with the Club,
and I'm confident that the new stadium will be built with
traditional Arsenal values of respect and integrity at heart."
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown
"With a new 60,000 capacity stadium in the pipeline,
it's a pretty exciting time to be at Arsenal. Obviously the
players have got to make sure we're still right at the top by
the time it comes to make the move, but the new stadium should
ensure that we can compete with the very biggest clubs in the
Europe. Highbury is special to the fans of course, but also to the
players, I'll certainly never forget the first time I played
there. We'll all be sad to see it go but moving to a new
stadium will be an exciting new chapter in the Club's long and
proud history."
England defender Ashley Cole
"I think it will be good for the Club to move. We are a big
Club, I think close to being one of the biggest, but if you look at
most of Europe's other top sides, the capacity of their
stadiums is in a different league to ours and I'm sure Arsenal
have enough fans to fill a much bigger stadium for most
Swedish international Freddie Ljungberg
"Arsenal needs to move, I know there are massive queues for
season tickets at Highbury and we would regularly be able to fill a
60,000 stadium. The new stadium will definitely make the Club
bigger and stronger. We couldn't move outside Islington, people
have mentioned other areas, but Arsenal just can't do that,
it's a north London club. The new stadium is only down the
road, still in Islington, which is perfect. Now the funding is in
place, it takes us another step closer. It's still a couple of
years away, but I just hope I get a chance to play there!"
Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour
"I personally think that if we are going to progress as a
football club and continue to challenge the likes of Manchester
United, Real Madrid and AC Milan, then we need a bigger stadium.
Our supporters have been terrific, there are 38,000 at every home
game, but to actually compete with the big teams you need a lot
more people. It's also important to stay in the borough,
because Arsenal Football Club has always been associated with
Islington and Highbury."
Arsenal's assistant manager, Pat Rice
"To take the Club forward, the new stadium is absolutely
necessary. Highbury is a part of my life but that is countered by
the realisation that if you want to be up there with the big clubs
in Europe, you need a bigger stadium. There are a lot of Arsenal
fans out there who don't get the chance to watch the team at
the moment. I think a new stadium would be a huge success, although
it will be a wrench to leave Highbury. It's important to stay
in Islington, so we are not moving home, we are just moving
Arsenal legend Liam Brady
"If we wish to be real challengers to the best in Europe,
this is the way forward, it is the only way forward. I can't
imagine the Borough of Islington without Arsenal Football Club. If
it's the Arsenal I know, the move will be done in style.
It's about whether you want to be the best, or settle for
second or third best."
Former Arsenal goalkeeper, Bob Wilson
"It's heartbreaking to hear about Arsenal vacating
Highbury but it is absolutely necessary. The feelings I have for
the Club and the memories of those great days and nights, the
atmosphere generated by our passionate supporters, the glory of
winning the Inter Cities Fairs Cup in 1969 and then the
'double.' It was absolutely unbelievable. But if we are to
keep up with the rest of the big clubs and remain a leading club in
world football then we really have to move."
Arsenal's 1971 Double-winning captain, Frank McLintock
March 2004
"It obviously depends on the level of sponsorship that someone comes up and offers us. But it is also linked to whether we feel the sponsor is appropriate to be associated with the Club. In the States, some of the stadia have got substantial amounts from sponsorship, up to £8 million or £9 million a year, which is a considerable amount of money over 20 years. But no one in the UK has ever got substantial amounts; maybe less than £1 million or possibly £200,000-a-year. But it all depends on the level of interest that you get. You can't really gauge that until you've got a definite project and then you can go out and talk to people."
Edelman on the naming rights at the new stadium
September 2004
"There were two big construction challenges. The first was putting the bridges over the railway line. This is difficult because you have to close the lines and if you don't get it right you miss your timing and you have to wait. One of the bridges is six lanes wide. The other is smaller but it still pretty big. However this has now been achieved. The second major change was getting the waste transfer unit moved. We built a new one at the Lough Road site and we managed to move [work] there a week early. So that is very good news. We are on schedule and moving ahead nicely. At the moment we have six of the eight cores [at the new stadium] up and we are just putting upper tiers on them. Two cores are not up yet because that is where the [original] waste transfer unit sits. But we are knocking that down."
Edelman on the latest developments at the new stadium
October 2004
"The sheer size and scale of this deal is an amazing opportunity for Arsenal. We are delighted to have Emirates as our partner and sponsor. Emirates is a quality airline and an established global brand, with a proven track record in football and sport sponsorship. This long-term association is an excellent opportunity for both of us. It will help Arsenal reach new markets and build on our existing fan base across the world, thanks in no small part to the airline's global route network. We are grateful to Emirates for its faith in us and look forward to working with them."
Edelman announcing the stadium's naming deal with Emirates
"This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sponsor such
a major new stadium and club, and represents a win-win partnership
for both Emirates and Arsenal. Arsenal Football Club has proved
itself as one of the world's best, with an outstanding record
in the English Premiership including, of course, being the current
Premiership Champions, and also remaining unbeaten for the last 48
league matches. Sports sponsorships provide an international
platform to connect with our customers. We believe sponsorship is
one of the best ways of getting closer to our customers. It allows
us to share and support their interests and to build a personal
relationship with them. There is no greater vehicle for this than
through English football and we are looking forward to a long and
very happy relationship with Arsenal."
HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman of Emirates, on the deal with Arsenal
"I am delighted to be involved in this special event. I
have so many great memories of Highbury and having a little piece
of its history buried here in the new stadium will remind everyone
of the tremendous traditions and success achieved there over the
last 91 years."
Arsène Wenger on the time-capsule ceremony at the new stadium
March 2005
"Emirates Stadium will provide our supporters with a superb range of refreshment facilities throughout all areas the stadium. We are delighted to be appointing Delaware North as our catering partner in a deal which we believe is the largest, individual football club catering contract ever signed. We are confident Delaware North will deliver a very high standard of food, drink and service at Emirates Stadium which will greatly enhance our supporters' match-day experience."
Edelman announces Delaware North as a catering partner at the new stadium
June 2005
"Reaching the half way point in construction is both a great achievement and credit to all those involved and also a very exciting time for the Club - with just over a year left now until we play the first match at Emirates Stadium, we can really start to look forward to the great future ahead of us at this fantastic new home."
Wenger on reaching the half-way stage of construction
August 2005
"We are extremely pleased with the progress that has been made to date in the construction of Emirates Stadium. By completing the lifts of the roof structure recently, which was just one of the many feats we have achieved in the project, we have now reached the highest point in construction. We are looking forward to completing the construction of Emirates Stadium in time for the start of the 2006/07 season."
Sir Robert McAlpine Project Director, Rolv Kristiansen, on the completion of the roof structure
June 2006
"There is still some finishing off work to do of course. There is a lot of cleaning up but essentially the executive boxes are complete and Club Level is done. We have a little bit of work to be done on the general concourse but we are practically there. We are ready to go. We will get the stadium from the builders very soon. We are looking forward to that and our three 'ramp-up' events. There will be a shareholders event in the middle of July, then a Members Day for about 20,000 supporters. After that of course there is Dennis Bergkamp's testimonial on July 22 before the season starts on August 19 with Aston Villa.
"We will be naming parts of the stadium but we will not be
releasing that for a bit yet. However there will be restaurants and
bars that will be named to give an historic feedback to Highbury
which we've asked supporters to vote on via the website."
Edelman on applying the final touches to Emirates Stadium and the naming of different parts of the Gunners' new home

Great job!!!!!! They look just about right! Did you have any problems with getting them to seal the first time?Love the fact that you had a visitor so soon!!!Your learning quickly. Did you find they were easy to smell once sealed?Bailey
Can you refresh my memory? What are those vials made of again? I remember reading about Baileys style but couldn't find the original post in a quick search.BTW, the one I always heard was, "If I tell ya a flea can pull a plow, you best hitch him up"James
So I tried my hand at a couple. I didn't have a ton of Lgo on hand so I put a few drops in a very small amount of water. I know they don't mix very well but I figured that if I agitated it well I could spread them across a few lures. So is it vital that I use just Lgo or can I do as I did above? I hear a little bit of the stuff can go a long way. The water in the lure will do nothing in the end, but help me get the Lgo in there and the Lgo will still diffuse out its smell. I can even use the entire pipettes and solder the very end making it easier to make a seal. Thoughts?

text: Sure. But that holds true for the university level too. So much relies on "teaching effectively," and university is not automatically better in that dept. than high school is. I don't know how typical my experiences are, but the level of teaching I received at high school was far superior to what I got at university.

Mustard brings lively flavor to this tender oven-baked chicken recipe from Susie Castleberry, Poplar, Wisconsin. "Once it's circled our dinner table, there's seldom any left," says the mother of eight.

- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|What would be the recommended bleeding order?
This Guy is an awesome mechanic and has a bunch of nice videos. Here's one addressing the topic
I now see where the confusion regarding 'Service Writers' has come from, in my mind the 'Service writer' is a technical author employed by the manufacturer where as Canderson is referring to what I would call a 'Service receptionist'. (With this in mind I agree with a lot that he says) Our problem is a great language divided by a big pool of water!
I apologize again and with that I'll shut up!!
|this started out to be a very nice informative thread with pictures. But now it's just another dam presidential debate.
|A quick P.S. I'm headed out of the country tomorrow a.m. for 3 weeks. If anyone was expecting replies, it's not that I'm ignoring you, but I may be out of communications for a large part of that time.
Service writers are OFTEN recommending service or service intervals that have not been specified by the manufacturer.
Let's try something FAR simpler. Air filters. Would you change out a perfectly serviceable air filter simply because of a mileage chart? Or would you perhaps physically inspect the filter before making that recommendation? NOW.. extend that to brake fluid. Like an air filter, there is a fairly simple test that can be done to determine if it has moisture issues. However, in THIS case, you can bet that 99.9% of customers don't have the gadget to determine this for themselves as they do with an air filter (a simple visual check, in the latter case). So many wind up taking the word of the service writer who has absolutely no idea what condition the fluid is in.
I'm not interested in anyone breaking their vehicle due to lack of service, either. However, I AM interested in what happens when someone who does care for their vehicle rolls into a shop and unnecessary services are recommended.
"Sir, your transmission fluid is due to be replaced at 30,000 miles", when there's no hitch on the vehicle and no one has ever asked the customer about his driving habits -- that's just inexcusable, but at least the service writer can beg off with the "Well, that's the extreme duty recommendation".
It devolves to the 'recommended' injector cleaning every 15K, power steering flushes, etc., none of which are being recommended by the manufacturer. There can indeed me times where both of those might prove to be beneficial, but only if there's a solid reason for doing so, and an arbitrary service writer's schedule (and the need for that Service Manager to scrape up his 'boat payment') doesn't qualify.
Everything in Wikipedia on the subject of brake fluid is, in my opinion, correct. If you want I can post a document from an American site and an official USA Hyundai document stating brake fluid change intervals of 2 years. (This document is for a Lantra but would apply to other models)
Surely it's better to carry out preventive maintenance than wait for a failure.
I am, surprisingly, largely on your side! Your contributions are invaluable but I'm not sure what you mean by Boat Payments.
My whole 'argument' relates to the 'Tossers' who never service their vehicles.
And the point I'm making is that FAR too often, service writers take it upon themselves to second guess the manufacturers' recommended service intervals (shorter ones and always to their own benefit, of course), or make up services that the manufacturer does not even recommend.
We've wandered a bit. The issue at hand here is specifically the so-called '"requirement"' to change brake fluid every 1~2 years. To that, I can only say -- Don't believe everything you read in a Wiki.
Tell me honestly -- do you suppose you have EVER met a service writer who would actually tell the shop to TEST the bloody brake fluid before recommending changing it out? Of course not. They really don't care. The tools are several and easy to find. Do you think they'd use it?
Two words: BOAT PAYMENT
"To prevent Manufacturers being sued through the courts they have to put Mileage/Time limits on 'Service intervals'. This is to negate the problem of the many 'Drivers' who have no comprehension of what happens under the bonnet/hood of a vehicle, these people would, if left to their own little world, never ever have their vehicles serviced then complain when they break down!!!"
This was the point I was making!
"I could tell many horror stories of vehicles where the engine oil won't drain because it's too thick, low oil pressure due to there being no oil in the sump, brake fluid that's black with a high water content, spark plugs with no central electrode, induction pipes collapsed due to blocked air cleaners, diesel injectors long past their service life, frozen engines due to anti-freeze being many years old and diluted etc. etc. All of which could have been avoided if the vehicle had been serviced on time and in the correct manner!!"
Your horror stories are about those who obviously don't even bother to inspect these things on a regular interval, and don't replace things when they need to be replaced! There's a VERY wide gap between that and replacing everything on an arbitrary fixed interval known only to the service writer, especially one not specifically recommended by the manufacturer!
For each of the failure modes you mention:
1) Engine oil - visual inspection will have prevented this. Testing is available.
2) Brake fluid - visual inspection will have prevented this. Testing is available.
3) Spark plugs - geez, just PULL one and see how they look!
4) Air cleaners - LOOK at the silly thing!
5) Bad injectors - there would be a major performance or mileage issue
6) Anti-freeze - testing tools available at WalMart
My point isn't that these things shouldn't be inspected at intervals frequent enough to cause problems. My point is that NONE of the items above are likely to fail and require replacement at some specific time or mileage interval in all climates and driving environments, and you can bet that the manufacturer is betting on the conservative side most of the time. The idea that every vehicle's brake fluid has absorbed enough water every 1 to 2 years to require replacement is false. Period.

Posted by Gene Leganza on February 13, 2013
It seems to be popular these days amongst industry pundits to recommend that organizations add a new Cxx role: the Chief Data Officer (CDO). The arguments in favor of this move are exactly what you'd think: the rapidly accelerating importance of information in the enterprise, and, as important, the heightened perception of the importance of information by business executives. The attention on information comes from all the rich new data that simply didn't exist before: sensor data from the Internet Of Things, social media, process data -- really just the enormous volume of data resulting from the digitization of everything. Add to all that: new technology to handle big data in a reasonable time frame, user-friendly mobile computing in the form of tablets, data virtualization software and data warehouse appliances that significantly accelerate the process of getting at the information for analysis, and the promise of predictive analytics, and there's plenty of cause for an information management rennaisance out there. With a little luck, the activity it catalyzes will also improve enterprises' ability to manage the data and content that's not so new but also very important that we've been struggling with for the last decade or so.
The only argument against creating this role that I've run across is that if CIOs and CTOs did their jobs right, we wouldn't need this new role. That's pretty feeble since we're not just talking about IT's history of relative ineffectiveness in managing information outside of application silos (and don't get me started about content management) -- we're adding to that a significant increase in the value of information and a significant increase in the amount of available information. And then there's the fact that the data could be in the cloud and not managed by IT, and there's also a changing picture regarding risk that suggests a new approach.

Hi Everyone
I'm new to TDH but I've been on therpf for sometime. I've done several builds but as of late have become more interested in the Fett family.
I've been to this site before but looked at it more closely when I decided to do a clone build with parts frome Clone6. A very nice set by the way. I do have a question. Recently I've seen parts for Fett by manowarstudios. Does anyone have any feedback on them? Or better yet have any recommendations.
Thanks and greetings

Barbara Boxer – Thank Goodness for National Poverty!
posted at 2:53 pm on October 28, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA, 100%) is of course shepherding the economy-killing energy bill, Cripple and Tax (sorry, I meant Cap and Trade) through the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, which she chairs. Her fellow committee member Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT, 80%) — who just recently wrote his own Obamacare bill in the Senate Finance Committee, which he chairs — has decided to write his own energy bill as well; he came out swinging against the Boxer bill… but his objections are all to the specifics; Baucus has no problem with the basic concept of the Obama-Boxer bill:
- Regulate carbon emissions as if they were pollutants (so stop exhaling, you climate traitor!)
- Force industries, farms, utilities, and other businesses to buy "carbon credits" that allow them to pollute the planet — i.e., feed the plants.
Set a national carbon reduction goal of about 80% by 2050 (!). This is so draconian, it can only be achieved one of two ways: By absolutely crippling American industry to the point where we'd have trouble competing with Albania; or by embarking upon a massive program to build a hundred or more nuclear power plants.
The Democrats have no interest in building a hundred nuclear power plants. Or even one.
- "Fine" businesses and utilities increasingly staggering amounts of money when they're unable to meet that absurdist goal… thus creating the most massive tax the United States has ever levied — on the evil, unAmerican sin of producing energy.
Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX, 76%) and Kit Bond (R-MO, 75%) conducted a study that found the gasoline tax increase alone would carry a price tag of $3.6 trillion, a cost that would be borne by "families, small businesses, farmers, truckers, & air travelers." I don't believe that even includes energy taxes on other forms of fossil fuel besides gasoline, deisel and jet fuel, such as natural gas, ordinary coal, or clean-coal technology.
But all this is prolog; what really caught my eye was this astonishing suggestion from Boxer:
Mrs. Boxer said that Mr. Baucus told her Friday that he could not back the bill in its current form. Still, she expressed hope that recent declines in U.S. emission levels caused by the economic recession of as much as 8 percent since 2005 would make the 2020 target more palatable for Mr. Baucus and other bill critics.
And there you have it, the essential absurdity of Cripple and Tax: A United States senator hopes that the current recession continues plaguing America, because that would reduce emissions (by reducing industrial production, jobs, and GDP) — and "make the 2020 [emissions reduction] target more palatable!"
In other words, we'll already be so impoverished by the recession, which Barack H. Obama now "owns" via his counter-economic policies that perpetuate it, that we'll hardly even notice when we become even poorer due to his equally risible energy policy.
At last I understand: It's not true that the One's economic plan is failing; it's succeeding beyond his wildest dreams. We just misunderstand its real goal.

DENVER - No. 5 Denver held off a late rally by Fairfield to claim the inaugural ECAC Tournament championship with an 11-9 win this afternoon at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. The Pioneers, who also won the ECAC regular-season title, earned the league's automatic NCAA Tournament bid with the win and extended its winning streak to a program-record 10 wins.
"A great deal of credit needs to go to Fairfield and all those young men that competed and didn't give up for the full 60 minutes," said head coach Bill Tierney. "I am proud of our guys for sticking in there and coming up with goals when we needed them, but our team just learned something out there and that is to never give up until that buzzer sounds. I am excited that we were able to secure the first-ever ECAC Championship and to get the automotive qualifier to the NCAA Tournament. It's been a long season, but we're ready to keep playing and show everyone what Denver lacrosse is all about."
Denver led 11-4 early in the fourth quarter before the Stags mounted their comeback with five consecutive goals to cut the deficit to two goals with 3:04 remaining. The Pioneers sealed the win as goaltender Jamie Faus (Lakeville, Conn.) stopped the Stags final two attempts on goal.
ECAC Player of the Year Mark Matthews (Oshawa, Ontario), sophomore Eric Law (Centennial, Colo.), senior Todd Baxter (Eden Prairie, Minn.) and junior Alex Demopoulos (Canton, Conn.) scored two goals each for Denver and Faus earned his 12th win of the season with 13 saves.
Freshman Jeremy Noble (Orangeville, Ontario), sophomore Hayden Schuette (Encinitas, Calif.) and tournament MVP Chase Carraro (Louisville, Ky.) also scored, while Carraro dominated face-offs by winning 16-of-22 draws.
Max Trunz led Fairfield with three goals, while Nick Baglio, Matt Plominski, Doug Kuring, Sam Snow, Matt Lanzaro and John Snellman added goals for the Stags. Charlie Cipriano made 13 saves as Fairfield ends its season at 8-8.
Denver held a 5-2 advantage after an entertaining first period. Law opened the scoring at 3:43 before Baglio tied it at 1-1 less than one minute later. Matthews scored back-to-back goals, followed by Noble and Demopoulos as the Pioneers outshot the Stags 8-4 in the first period.
Baxter and Schuette scored goals in the second quarter to extend DU's lead to 7-2 at the half. Faus stopped all five Fairfield shots in the quarter.
Law, Baxter and Carraro scored for Denver in the third quarter as the Pioneers held a commanding 10-3 lead. Plominski netted Fairfield's lone goal in the quarter.
After a Demopoulos goal at 2:32 of the fourth quarter, Fairfield rallied with goals from Lanzaro, Snow, Trunz (2) and Snellman to make the final score 11-9.
Matthews, Baxter, Faus and Demopoulos joined Carraro on the all-tournament team. Tyler Frederick (Ohio State), Mike Sawyer (Loyola), Snellman, Cipriano, Trunz and Drew Palmer of Fairfield were also named to the team.
Denver learns its first round opponent during the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Division I Selection Show tomorrow night live on ESPNU at 7 p.m. MT First round games are scheduled for May 14-15 at on-campus sites.

In-Game Blog/Box Score
COLUMBUS, Ohio - In the Moe's Southwest Grill Classic at EverBank Field, the No. 19/20-ranked Ohio State men's lacrosse team defeated host Jacksonville, 9-6, Sunday afternoon to improve to 2-0 on the year. The Buckeyes, who were ahead by one goal at halftime and after the third quarter, outscored the Dolphins, 3-1, in the fourth quarter for the victory.
"We have to continue to grow up on the offensive end of the field," Nick Myers, Ohio State head coach, said. "We got a little out of sorts; it's going to take some time to develop chemistry. We have some young guys we're mixing in. I'm proud of the way the defense hung in there and hunkered down. We gave up some early goals and then really played well in the second half. That's something we can build off of for sure."
Individually, seniors Logan Schuss and Dominique Alexander and sophomore Jesse King each scored twice, while junior Adam Trombley and sophomore David Planning each had two points on a goal and an assist. Junior goalie Greg Dutton had nine saves for the Buckeyes. The defense, led by starters freshman Robby Haus and juniors Joe Meurer and Dominic Imbordino, limited the Dolphins to six goals and 24 shots, with just two goals allowed and six shots against in the second half.
"It's good to be able to learn from a win," Myers said. We come away from today knowing there's a lot we have to get better at. It's a W. As we move into this next week we'll go home and study a lot of film and work on the fundamentals. It was good for our team to get into an environment that's uncomfortable, on a big stage. To come away with a win is something you can build off."
The Buckeyes led 4-2 after the first quarter. King put the Buckeyes on the board at 11:51, assisted by Planning, but Jacksonville took the lead, 2-1, with two goals in a 1:06 span, as Rob Wertz scored at 7:39 and Ari Waffle converted man-up at 6:33. The Buckeyes ended the quarter on a three-goal run to regain the lead. At 4:06 Alexander tied the game at 2-all, followed by a Schuss tally at 2:42 for an Ohio State lead. With just two seconds left Planning scored to give Ohio State a two-goal lead. Shots were 9-8 in favor of the Dolphins in the quarter and each goalie made three saves.
Jacksonville tied the game at 4 after scoring the first two goals of the second quarter. Cameron Mann tallied at 12:12 and TJ Kenary deadlocked the game at 7:40. Just 26 seconds later Trombley set up Schuss for a goal to put Ohio State in the lead (5-4), an advantage it would not relinquish the rest of the game. Jacksonville outshot the Buckeyes, 9-7, in the quarter, with Dutton making four stops.
Each team scored once in the third quarter. Trombley scored unassisted at 11:50, answered by Jacksonville's Conor Igoe just 40 seconds later, making it a one-goal game (6-5) entering the final quarter. The Buckeyes took 10 shots, holding the Dolphins to two, in the stanza.
Ohio State took control in the fourth quarter. Alexander put Ohio State ahead by two at 13:07 and freshman Carter Brown assisted on a man-up goal by King at 11:39 for the Buckeyes' first three-goal lead of the game. After a man-up goal from JU's David Goldman at 8:51 made it a two-goal game, Ohio State senior Dan Wertz tallied unassisted at 3:38 for a three-goal cushion. Each goalie made two saves in the stanza, with Ohio State outshooting Jacksonville, 6-5.
For the game, Ohio State outshot Jacksonville, 31-24. Dutton had nine saves in the Buckeye cage and Pete DeLuca had nine saves for the Dolphins.
Ohio State was a perfect 19-for-19 on clears and won the groundball battle, 24-21, while winning 9-of-19 faceoffs. Juniors Meurer and Darius Bowling and seniors Schuss, Kevin Mack and Trey Wilkes led the squad with three groundballs each. Wilkes had an Ohio State-high seven faceoff wins.

Arsène Wenger believes Santi Cazorla and Mikel Arteta would be international regulars were they not from Spain.
Competition is fierce for a place in the world and European champions' squad, and Arsenal vice-captain Arteta has never been capped by his country.
Cazorla has featured 47 times for Vicente Del Bosque's side, but Wenger believes he would have played many more times if he was from any other nation.
"You would think Cazorla or Arteta would play [regularly] in many other countries, but with Spain they don't because they have Iniesta, Busquets and Xavi there," he said. "Even Cesc Fabregas does not always play."
Wenger says Cazorla has the quality to fill the Fabregas role in his new-look Arsenal side, but admits tying up a deal for the midfielder was a lengthy process.
"He is a good link between midfield and the final third. He gives you availability always to turn the game forward and he has an exceptional technical level," he said.
"He was interested in joining us last season but in the end we were beaten by Malaga, who had a completely new ambition. But he impressed us, so I kept him in my mind.
"We took advantage of the fact that Malaga were in no-man's land for a while - it was very difficult to find somebody to speak to! In the end we could do it but it was not easy."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Can the Heat from a BBQ Melt Contact Lenses? - Urban Legends
Had glasses, got contacts when I was 11 and wore them for about 13 years, now I'm back to glasses. Now I'm looking up laser eye surgery.
I found contacts more annoying than glasses and more costly in the long run. And it was just a bother needing to put them in and take them out all the time. At least with glasses they just fall off my face and don't ruin my eyes when I take an impromptu nap in them.
At some point I had night and day contacts that you could sleep in and those were wonderful. Those are the only contacts I prefer over glasses.
|I tried wearing contacts a couple of times. Probably the lenses are better now days, as the last time I tried was 20 years ago! The problems I had was one eye would always make a build up on the lense even though I cleaned them every nite, never slept in them. Also if windy and dust gets under the contact, very uncomfortable! I guess I'm also used to the protection my glasses give to dirt, etc flying around! I did like the freedom of not always wearing glasses and agree the vision is better! I have heard if you eventually need reading glasses, they used to have you wear just one contact to make the adjustment? That could be old school too! With laser I believe you still have to wear reading glasses if you need them.
like shade I have been using contacts for over 18 years. I also use the no rub lens cleaner 99 % of the time. at first they can feel a little uncomfortable and a little awkward to put in. But once you get the hang of it its like second nature. Why do I prefer contact lenses? Because I am so blind my glasses are very thick lol..
Tips use rewetting drops if your eyes get a little dry from the contacts. keep your follow up appointment with your optometrist just to make sure you're not having any issues. My son wanted contacts but every time he put them in,his eyes would get itchy. we found out he cant use contacts.
This may be totally false, made up or otherwise. But, be aware of the issues..
Can the Heat from a BBQ Melt Contact Lenses? - Urban Legends
I've been wearing glasses for 18 years and contacts for 14 years, I much prefer my contacts
1. How often do you need to clean them?
I use a no rub solution, so pop them into the container and in the morning they are ready to go. They're not as "clean" as if I scrubbed and cleaned them but it's so easy it use that method 99% of the time
2. Are they difficult to put in your eyes?
At first yes but you really do get use to it quickly
3. What is the differences between contact lens and eye glasses?
As others have notes, the peripheral vision is excellent, you don't need prescription sunglasses, no annoying cleaning of your glasses multiple times a day, and in general they are SO much easier than glasses.
4. Is there anything else I need to know?
Put them in before you do your makeup, get good quality lenses and talk to your doctor about daily vs monthly. Finding the right match is key to comfort and effectiveness
|I wear Air Optics and they're really comfortable. I sleep with them in but take them out to soak while I'm in the shower. They're bi-focals

I am interested in getting contacts and I have some questions to the people on this forum who wear contact lens.
1. How often do you need to clean them?
As needed. Rinse them well daily. It's really important to have clean hands when you handle your contacts.
2. Are they difficult to put in your eyes?
Once you get used to putting something in your eyes, it's simple.
3. What is the differences between contact lens and eye glasses?
Your field of vision is so much better. It's also much more convenient.
4. Is there anything else I need to know?
Invest in sunglasses. Dust in your eyes / on your contacts hurts! Don't sleep in them, even if they are rated for it. Your eyes need to breathe and refresh.
I'm also part of the Acuvue Oasys fan club. There is just something about them that you can't beat for comfort and clear vision.
Thank you!
|I have contacts. Clean them nightly but am sensitive to cleaning solutions so can only use clear care. I could put them in without issue and take them out without issue but at first it would take me forever because it was something new. It gets to be easy after a week or so. I don't wear glasses ever really. With contacts I find my vision more clear and find that I have less headaches as well. One word of advice, if your doctor prescribes a brand that doesn't feel right, let him know because all contacts are not alike.
I have contacts. I clean them daily (or, well, I try). They're not difficult to put in once you get the hang of it. When I first got them, I held my breath so long in the Dr's office trying to put them in that I almost passed out. The girl at the counter said it's really common, lol.
My biggest reason for wanting contacts over glasses (aside from needing thick glasses because my rx is so strong) is because I am a very active person. Hiking, running, riding my horse, etc is a real pain in the neck when wearing glasses. I also used to have to scuba dive daily for work, and using Rx masks was horrible and horribly expensive. As others have said, brand definitely matters- I've had horrible lenses, and lenses that you can leave in for a week and not feel (Acuvue).
I will be getting LASIK eventually.

Citi's Top 5 China, Hong Kong Stock Picks Are …
Fosun Pharma (2196.HK, HK$38 target price, closed at HK$26.7):
We believe Fosun's growth will increasingly be driven by the healthcare services/hospital segment, which we believe has blue-sky scenario upside. With the hospital it has already acquired, and the privatization of Chindex, we think it is well positioned to seize growth in the hospital market.
Ping An Insurance (2318.HK, HK$86 target price, closed at HK$63.65)
We rate Ping An a Buy based on its: (1) sector-leading life NBV growth; (2) sector-leading position in industry structural drivers (pension reform, investment liberalization etc.); (3) steady earnings progression due to a diversified business mix; (4) pioneer status in new distribution channels (telemarketing, internet); (5) best position in financial innovation in China.
Downside risks: 1) sharp A-share market corrections, 2) draconian macro policy tightening in China, 3) earnings-destructive changes in insurance accounting, 4) setbacks in major equity stake investments, and 5) earnings/NBV disappointment. Key upside risks include: 1) sharp A-share rally, 2) stronger-than-expected cross-selling synergies from its proposed stake investment in SZDB, and 3) better-than-expected earnings/NBV delivery.
Sinopec (0386.HK, SHI, HK$7.87 target, closed at HK$6.96)
We believe Sinopec will be a key beneficiary of the roll-out of the National Standard IV gasoline in 2014. We expect refining EBIT to improve by ~US$0.7-0.8/bbl as a result of the Rmb290/t price hike by NDRC for the higher spec fuel. Sinopec also plans to sell down 30% of its marketing business through the introduction of social and private capital. We believe Sinopec's marketing business could be re-rated and unlock its value.
Hutchison Whampoa (0013.HK, HK$107, closed at HK$104.1)
Our target price for Hutch of HK$120 is derived by applying a ~15% discount (historical average) to our 2014E NAV of HK$134.53. We apply the historical mean discount to NAV after Hutch successfully spun off HPH Trust and Hui Xian REIT. Our HK$120 target price is supported by ~1.0x 2014E P/BV, which is at the low end of the historical 12-month forward range (0.67x-2.26x since Jan 1998).
The most significant downside risk is the 3G operations. If Hutch's telecom business shows negative KPIs, Hutchison could derate.
Melco Crown (6883.HK, HK$105, closed at HK$94.8)
In our view, Studio City is the best-located casino in Cotai, situated adjacent to the Lotus Bridge border with the best access to Hengqin among its Cotai peers. MPEL remains the lowest-priced Cotai stock. The proposed inaugural dividend could lead to a re-rating, as it enhances shareholders' return.
This morning, the iShares China Large Cap ETF (FXI) gained 0.8%, the iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI) advanced 0.6%, and the iShares MSCI Hong Kong ETF (EWH) was up 0.2%.

Ask any local about the 12 odd-shaped "Lone Star Lakes" in southern tidewater Virginia, and you're bound to hear some fish stories about crappies, bluegill and catfish. Although these lakes were originally dug out to excavate marl (minerals such as clay and limestone), they now provide abundant fishing for enthusiasts, as well as drinking water for the nearby city of Suffolk.
Crane Lake is rumored to be the most fruitful of the Lone star Lakes, perhaps because it's connected to Chuckatuck Creek, a 13-mile-long stream that parallels the Nansemond River before flowing into the James River. During high tide, salt water spills into the lake, sometimes sending croaker, big stripers and flounder into the hands of lucky fisherman.
Native Americans also fished in these waters; Chuckatuck Creek was a valuable resource for the Nansemond tribe. But when Englishmen arrived in the early 1600s, they robbed the tribe's corn and burned their homes and canoes. This was the beginning of hostility between the communities, and resulted in the Nansemond tribe losing its last reservation lands in the late 1700s. Today, most Nansemond Indians still live in the Suffolk/Chesapeake area.
In the first half of the twentieth century, Chuckatuck Creek was packed with boats. Watermen made a living from harvesting oysters, fish and crabs, and taught their sons their craft for generations. Families visited one another via watercraft, depending on each other when there was little to catch.
Today, a decline in oyster populations has left few generational watermen on the Chuckatuck. Nevertheless, the creekside villages of Crittenden, Eclipse and Hobson still possess a small-town ambience, with close-knit residents and colorful local folklore.

More from Chuckatuck Creek:
Deanna Beacham says:
April 17, 2012
It is a shame the article did not identify this area as Nansemond Indian aboriginal territory, instead of using a generic term for them. The Nansemond Indians are alive and well, a historic state recognized tribe in Virginia, and trying to obtain some of the land on these waters that were their original home!

A Wear Red Friday Hero's Community Service
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A painful chapter in Southern Colorado history brought out the best in so many places. Victor Malone is a retired U-S Navy Captain with 27 years under his belt of service. Now he can add service to community to his resume. His home was among those in the Mountain Shadows neighborhood that burned down during last Summer's Waldo Canyon fire. He explained to me how it gobbled up his home, "The fire came in and went to the bottom of the street at 50 miles an hour. It burned quickly and sucked right out again." Victor and his wife had just moved in to the neighborhood a year before.
Victor and his neighbors knew what they had to do after the fire. They picked themselves up emotionally, dusted off the tears and went to work. Victor and his neighbors got donated excavating equipment and started doing the tough job of cleanup for 10 homes, "We got all the debris out using all the environmental procedures the city prescribed. We lined all the containers. The roughest part of it was all the ash." Then came the tough job of excavating the foundations. Victor told me he enjoyed that part, "That was the fun part, breaking up concrete with all the equipment. Why did we do it? It was soothing and needed to be done."
As I was sitting on the porch of Victor's home under the shade of the American flag, I noticed a trumpet placed prominently in the wall of the porch. That's right, it was in the wall of the porch. I asked Victor why it was there and what siginificance does it have for him. He told me he had the trumpet made for him when he was in the seventh grade. It had travelled with him through civilian and military life. He and his wife found it in the rubble of their home, "I thought it was fitting that it should go back in the house. People ask me if I'm going to leave will I take it with me? Of course not. I don't plan to leave and this is a part of the house."
I asked Victor if he thought he was hero for the work he did with his other neighbors, "i'm not a hero. I'm a good neighbor."
You may know someone like Victor Malone who is a Wear Red Friday Hero. Go to our main page on KRDO.com, scroll down on the right side to our Wear Red section and nominate them.

These are unbranded kits. I got them from a government contractor, they are over-runs. These same parts go into guns made by HK, Colt, Sabre Defense and others for both military and civilian rifles. These are military grade parts that have simply been 'kitted' together since they are contract over-runs. All 100% American made parts, each part made by US military contractors.
Please also realize that very few commercial rifle makers make their own small parts and none of them make their own springs, they buy them from this contractor. These are the same kits as before with three added parts. Also including a barrel nut/flash hider wrench and front sight adjustment tool.
The Wrench is optional.
personal check or M.O is fine. PM for address

In a class this evening we covered the different types of students. One of my students asked if the descriptive word "language" in the term "language student" is an adjective, as, she said, it is a descriptive word.
I think it is actually a noun, but my student's comment has raised some doubt about the subject. Can anyone define this word in this context.

text: 3 games out of the playoffs and we have to be honest now - it aint going to happen. 2 games off the 8th worst record now too and so we are sitting in a position where more than ever in the past 6 seasons, it has been a total waste of time. This season came with so much promise and hope that we were finally turning it around. I am more angry and frustrated this year than any of the past 6. For this reason, I am giving up my long held anti-tanking stance. I would like to see them hang up the sneaks and go into full panzer mode to at least salvage a top pick in this deep draft.

'Carolina seemed quite capable of handling the road during the regular season. The Hurricanes won 21 games away from Raleigh, tying a franchise record; the team was fifth in road power plays at 18.8 percent (47 for 250) and tied for eighth in penalty kills (83.1 percent). They outscored opponents 141-133 on the road.'

Happy Birthday!
Photos submitted by Vinnie Tran and Stuart Stelzer on 3/26/2012.
On Monday, March 26, the Ozarks campus celebrated the 70th birthday of Ozarks Library Technician, Janice Blackard.
Stuart Stelzer, Library Director, perhaps summed it up best in his email invitation to come wish Janice a happy birthday:
Unlike the peoples of numerous traditional cultures, many in the U.S. often seem naturally and especially devoted to the obvious grace and force of youth – but awkward and hesitant in valuing the subtler powers and deeper beauties of age.
There is one among us today, however, who recognizes and celebrates with gratitude the wondrous value of the gift of age. She is one who has traveled with determination through thirty-six years of faithful service to all who arrive on this campus to learn, and although she still intends to complete three more months of that service before she enters retirement, today she has reached a special milestone in her sojourn.
If you have opportunity and are so inclined, please drop by the library workroom (behind the circulation desk) between 3:00 and 4:30 this afternoon to share her gratitude (and a piece of cake), to offer your congratulations, and to join in awe at a quiet miracle begun in Johnson County, Arkansas, three score and ten years ago.
Janice Blackard is seventy today.

Parking at Bloomsburg University
Parking Administration
University Police
Location: Rear of Andruss Library
Available 24 hours/day, 7 days/week
Call boxes on campus are direct connections to University Police. They are recognizable by a blue light atop posts on which phones are installed.
Motor vehicle parking on Bloomsburg University's campus is regulated and strictly enforced by university police. Motorists are strongly encouraged to park in appropriate locations, obtain necessary permits, and follow posted rules to avoid almost certain parking citations and fines.
Bloomsburg University police are like any municipal police force and traffic tickets carry the same weight as anywhere in Pennsylvania.
Parking areas at a glance
University parking is organized to provide an adequate number of spaces for
- Currently enrolled students who register a motor vehicle with BU police.
- University faculty and staff who register a motor vehicle with BU police.
- Parking for visitors who obtain a temporary parking hangtag, including specially designated areas for admissions and university clinics.
- Parking for special events, including intercollegiate athletics.
- Parking for persons with disabilities. Vehicles require the typical handicapped parking identification to be displayed.
- Temporary short-term metered parking in several areas.
Parking legally on campus
- Visitors must obtain a short-term hangtag from one of several locations on campus. These may be obtained at University Police, Buckingham Maintenance Center, and Carver Hall. Visitors to the Admissions Office, Athletic Department, Speech and Hearing Clinic, or the Reading Center, can obtain a visitor permit from those departments for their special visitor areas.
- Students parking cars on campus must register vehicles with university police. As appropriate, they will be allowed to park in specific lots, including commuters and occupants of residence halls and apartment complexes. Off-campus students living nearby may not necessarily be able to obtain commuter parking permission.
- Faculty and staff must register vehicles with university police to obtain a faculty-staff (red) hangtag that allows them to park in faculty-staff lots.
- Special events parking, including athletic events, is in specifically identified areas. Designated parking lots for sports activities are found on upper campus near the athletic facilities; parking on grassy areas is prohibited. Visitors should always follow directions of University Police for special events parking, especially on lower campus.
