Arsène Wenger is in the market for a defensive midfielder - if the right one is available.
The Frenchman sanctioned the sale of Alex Song last weekend and, in his absence, Mikel Arteta played in a deeper role in the 0-0 draw against Sunderland.
Wenger has other options to fill that position but he has not ruled out a new recruit before the transfer window closes.
"If someone really top, top class comes up… I do not need to buy an average midfielder," said Wenger. "If someone top, top class turns up, completely defensive, we will consider it.
"If you look at the numbers you will see that Song was more of an offensive player than a defensive midfielder," he added. "Arteta can play deeper - the kind of Pirlo role - and we have Diaby who is a very strong defensive player.
"We have Coquelin who is also doing very well. I've played many games with Diaby and Wilshere [in midfield] and they were very efficient."

6min, 48 sec.There appears to still be a rabbet in the end of the box, if you look at the way the frames came out, notice that the "rim" 1X3 goes all round at the same height on both side and end, the box is the highest part of the assembly so the rabbet has to be in the box for the frames to sit on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey#PreservationThis link has a picture of the same type of hives.
I guess that I don't see it... I have looked and looked and then I also looked at the link given but I still don't see anything special. They look like they are basicly regular boxes except that they are made of ply and held together with the strips at the top and bottom. They look like they still have the rabbit for holding the frames cut into the inside of the sides just like regular boxes. Only real difference that I see is the use of ply so they are cheeper and probably need the strips to hold them togetherThey kinda look like mine after a day of repairing old boxes.
What kind of smoker is that? what powers it? Sounds like he is speaking German. I do not think anyone realizes the real benefit to this design, it could solve one big problem many have commented on often on this forum. a 1x10 is actually 3/4x 9 & 1/4, not being wide enough to make a deep. If you use your band to give you your space you usually rabbit out, and lower band on upper box sitting on upper band of lower box, a rabbit is not needed, or if anything a partial rabbit. Whereas in the past I have had to glue a strip on each 1x10 I used for deeps, using the bands, I can use the 1x10 without adding to it's width.

The Samsung Series 9 900X3B-A01 is not just the thinnest, lightest 13in laptop in the world, but it's also the best-looking, best sounding ultraportable we've come across. Its high-resolution PLS screen offers quality above any other laptop display on the market, its connectivity isn't compromised by its sleek lines, and it's great to use too with an excellent backlit keyboard and large, sensitive touchpad. Weighed against all this goodness, the 900X3B's average battery life seems a minor downer, and overall Samsung's latest ultraportable is worth every penny of its premium price.
Your articles doesn't actually say how long the battery life turned out to be in your tests/review.
One of the nice things about Apple laptops is that they all support WQHD (2560x1440) and WQXGA (2560x1600), so can drive 27" and 30" monitors at their native resolution.
Such support is remarkably hard to find on non-Apple laptops, despite many of them possessing a GPU capable of doing so. I had a colleague return an expensive Sony VAIO after discovering that it couldn't drive his 27" Dell monitor.
Does this Samsung support these resolutions via its microHDMI port or some adapter?
i find it astonishing that the tech press repeatedly publish articles describing Apple laptops as expensive vs 'Windows' laptops.
I'd love to have a nice Windows machine but from my perspective I can't see any machine that equals a MacBook at ANY PRICE once you consider: design (personal yes, but these days critical!), performance, and price.
Also consider that the MacBook range are discounted to the tune of 10-16% to many who work for large organisations including the NHS and Students.
Unless you REALLY need Windows - which most don't - Grab yourself a superb bargain, and get a MacBook.
I could not understand why all the hype about this new laptop?
What I could understand is that it is outperformed by a 7-8 months old Macbook Air - that is also currently cheaper and widely available. Just compared with the 13" Air review and 8 months ago it was marked 7 for features and 7 for value while this one got nines ?!?
I am not bashing the product, just was curious, is there some sort of anti-apple sentiment. I am a Windows user and would actually consider this Samsung if the graphics card was a bit better. If I put up with the graphics performance would I be better of getting an Air and putting Win on it, as far as i know Apple provide full driver support?
About time someone matched apples feature set blow for blow. Maybe my next laptop will be windows now which will finally allow me to ditch osx and its various irritations once and for all. Still that wont be for a few years yet.
I don't trust this review - I mean, a MacBook Air beater? Come on?
Isn't it just another clone of Apples brilliant design ideas, outstanding engineering and incomparable ingenuity?
Despite the Mac genome of a sleek and clean look, the alu unibody, backlit keyboard, touchpad etc. In my mind, it will always just be a wannabe MacBook Air, just another bamboo PC with Windows.
Honestly, if this is a trusted review, why would anyone ever write such an overly positive recommendation of this copy product, when you can get the real deal, being in every aspect a better and original product, and for an even lower price tag that runs both OSX and Windows - if anyone should ever want it or need it, on a Mac?
Is it just the claim of a better screen or, is it something else? I don't trust it? Do you?
Another gorgeous and highly tempting ultrabook ruled out for me by its lack of a built in 3G card... what is the point in having something so lovely and portable if you have to attach an ugly dongle to it to allow it to connect out of your house?
(I might post this on each ultrabook review until manufacturers get the idea - I can't get one until there's 3G connectivity!)
I don't get why people are so against this review, and so against the idea of somebody, shock horror, making a product better than Apple. Have you used it yourself? Have you spent a few hours actually using this laptop? No - but the reviewer has, and that is obviously how they have based their opinion.
Yes, this current generation of laptops have obviously been massively influenced by Apple. That doesn't mean they are not better, the whole notion "original is best" is ridiculous and completely takes away the whole notion of innovation - which is about taking existing ideas and making them better.
Stop being so close minded, this is obviously a stunning, beautiful and brilliant laptop that deserves to be given a chance. Dismissing it, without having used it, and seemingly because it doesn't have an Apple badge, is complete nonsense.
It would be interesting to see what all these comments read as, had it indeed been Apple.
>> various irritations
Have you any examples of these, all OS's have there quirks. Just curious what quirks you have with OSx.
Must admit, even being firmly in the camp of 'openly hostile' towards Apple's business model - even I would rather take a Mac Book over this, for the same price.
The deciding factor? Well, the seamless integration of Windows 7 (which I much prefer over OSX) with Apple hardware and the ability to use OSX as well. If you're looking at this budget and specifically in this category, Apple makes sense even if you're a MS person.
It still seems strange / wrong that only Apple PC's are capable of officially supporting their direct competitors OS. This should be a two way street.
It's got me a little confused too,. From re-reading this article the £100 extra you pay for the Samsung is down to Quality & Style. The extra performance of the air doesn't seem to be factored in here.
>> It still seems strange
Although it would be nice, I wound't say it's strange / wrong.
Did you actually read the review, or just look at the pictures? And with a monochrome monitor at that, because there's some colour to this Samsung and it's not simply another spin-off from the anaemic Ive conveyor belt.
So, perhaps the Samsung's better screen, or the significantly lighter weight, or the thinner chassis, or the better connectivity (USB3 is the superior choice, as Thunderbolt is so scarce that it's next to useless, and will remain so until the Windows community adopt it. Firewire anyone?), or the better battery - even the pre-production model, and TR believe that the production battery will have more stamina yet.
All of the above are essential for an ultraportable, and would warrant its high praise. Applefans obviously won't buy anything without the fruit badge, but many of the rest of us will seriously consider this.
I agree with Michael G. What do these people want? It's lighter, thinner, has a better screen, better battery (matching the MBA at the moment, but with perhaps more to come from the production battery) and more widely supported connectivity. If it was the next MBA with these same improvements they would all be screaming and booking their places in the queues outside the Apple Stores, but as it's only a lowly Samsung then it's a non-starter?
It's shown in the battery graph, but I will add it to the review. Thanks for your comment :)
All Intel Sandy Bridge laptops with HD3000 graphics (which is also what the MacBooks use) should support 2560 x 1600 through DisplayPort and over HDMI. We will test this to make sure and get back to you.
It's because generally, they are. The MacBook Air at least provided good value because the ultraportable competition was always either not quite as well-built, attractive or fully featured, but compared to the 900X3B the only area where the Air still wins (OS preferences aside, obviously) is possibly standby battery life.
The Samsung is thinner, lighter, and has a far better screen... Performance should be equal, our sample seemed to be performing slightly below what it should considering its specs.
Have you read the review? It's thinner AND lighter than a MacBook Air, has a FAR better screen, more flexible connectivity, is at least as attractive (somewhat subjective, obviously) and offers comparable performance and battery life.
If you check the scores again, performance on this Samsung is also 7 (!), and when it came out the MacBook Air without a PLS/IPS screen cost £1350 at the time of review, compared to £1200 for this Series 9 - hence the lower value score.
I hope this clears up any confusion.
Aside from its higher resolution, the matt screen is PLS (Samsung's IPS equivalent) compared to the TN panel in the Air - this alone is worth the extra £100 it currently demands.
What @Overmars said.
Also, see my replies to @Michael 2 and @Everlast66.
So you don't trust our review because you can't accept that a "clone" can be better than the so-called original? (on which note, Sony had super-slim ultraportables long before the MacBook Air ever came out)
Also, the Air - while an excellent and TR Recommended product - is most certainly NOT "in every aspect a better [...] product".
We're with you on the hankering for inbuilt 3G @JonWill, at least as an optional extra...
Good point @ElectricSheep. However, personally I would rather have the better screen, even if it meant (officially) forgoing the delights of MacOS.
It is not so strange, but certainly very wrong! :)
I second @Keithe6e; curious to see which quirks in particular you find annoying compared to Windows 7? Cheers.
Nice one Samsung. No other manufacturer has ticked all the boxes with their ultrabook (or whatever you want to call them)
Now there is a real alternative to the Apple.
Stop going on about the price. It'll drop. Apple's won't.
@Ardjuna: Aside from...
I was using your comments, not mine.
>> even costing £100 more than the 13in MacBook Air. However, if you value quality and style, it's worth every penny.
I'm sure this is a fantastic machine and worth every penny, but it does still seem strange that a product made 8 months ago would still give this machine a run for it's money, and having 10% faster performance is nothing to sniff at.
Anyway, I still want one.
Could always go with wireless tethering, if that's you're only niggle.
Can't imagine that many people looking at a premium device like this wont have a suitably-equipped smart-phone to deliver 3G data in a pinch.

Gingrich falsely claimed that Republican senators never "systematically tried to obstruct" Clinton judicial nominees
FOX News contributor and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich falsely claimed that Republicans senators did not systematically block former President Bill Clinton's judicial nominees.
On the February 16 edition of FOX News' Hannity & Colmes, Gingrich criticized what he called Democratic senators' "blatant, deliberate, systematic filibustering" of some of President Bush's judicial nominees and then declared, "[T]he fact is, I do not believe that the Republicans in the Senate in the Clinton years systematically tried to obstruct [judicial nominees]. They tried to defeat people. They forced votes on people."
In fact, while Democratic senators used the filibuster to block [1] 10 of Bush's 229 first-term judicial nominees, the Republican-controlled Senate prevented approximately 60 Clinton nominees [2] from even receiving a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, much less a vote on the Senate floor. And while Senate Republicans under Clinton strictly enforced a "blue slip" rule -- which allows one home-state senator to prevent a nomination from moving forward -- they greatly relaxed this rule under Bush to circumvent Democrats' objections to several nominees.
As The Washington Post noted in a December 13 article [1] detailing Republican opposition to Democrats' filibusters of Bush nominees: "Republicans say that Democrats have abused the filibuster by blocking 10 of the president's 229 judicial nominees in his first term -- although confirmation of Bush nominees exceeds in most cases the first-term experience of presidents dating to Ronald Reagan."
While MSNBC noted [3] on January 14 that the Democratic senators' use of the filibuster to block nominees has been "the most aggressive use of that tactic in Senate history," the Republican-controlled Senate blocked up-or-down votes on far more Clinton nominees than the number of Bush nominees the Democrats filibustered, and, in most cases, even denied them hearings and committee votes. As The Christian Science Monitor noted [2] on May 12, 2003, "some 60 Clinton nominees never had a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee," which served "as effective a block to confirmation as a filibuster," according to Democrats. Similarly, as The Washington Post reported [4] on September 5, 2003, "Senate Republicans enraged Democrats by bottling up about 60 of President Bill Clinton's nominees."
Further, the Republicans used the "blue slip" policy to deny Clinton appointments but then altered the policy after Bush took office. As The Christian Science Monitor has noted [5], the "blue slip" process is one "in which a home-state senator may indefinitely delay a nominee by failing to return a blue slip to the judiciary committee" confirming their approval of the nominee. But while Senate Republicans, led by Judiciary Chairman Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC), used the "blue slip" to block Clinton nominees, Hatch relaxed [6] and, in several cases, simply ignored the policy after Bush became president.
As CNN noted [7] on August 14, 2001, even Attorney General and then-White House counsel Alberto Gonzales has said that Republican senators' "partisanship over judicial nominations" during the Clinton era was "improper" and "wrong."

Friedman lauded Lugar's "oil addiction" speech -- ignored Lugar's pro-oil past
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman lauded a speech made by Sen. Richard Lugar about breaking the United States' oil addiction, but Friedman ignored Lugar's extensive record in the Senate advocating oil drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Reserve and Lugar's vote, just last year, against a measure that would have set targets for reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman lauded Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) for delivering "[o]ne of the best speeches I've ever read about the necessity of breaking America's oil addiction now, and redefining 'realism.' " In his March 22 Times column (subscription required), Friedman wrote of the speech, which Lugar delivered at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., on March 13: "Drop what you are doing and read it at www.brookings.edu." Absent from Friedman's column, however, was any mention of Lugar's extensive record in the Senate advocating for oil drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Reserve (ANWR) -- which Friedman has spoken out against -- and Lugar's vote, just last year, against a measure that would have set targets for reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
From Friedman's March 22 Times column:
One of the most important laws of political debate is this: To name something is to own it. If you can name something, get that name to stick and therefore define how people think about an issue, your opponents don't stand a chance. One of the most pernicious things that Vice President Dick Cheney and Big Oil have done for years is to define ''realism'' when it comes to U.S. energy policy -- and therefore they have owned the debate.
One of the best speeches I've ever read about the necessity of breaking America's oil addiction now, and redefining ''realism,'' was delivered by Senator Richard Lugar, the Republican who is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, at the Brookings Institution on March 13. Drop what you are doing and read it at www.brookings.edu.
While acknowledging that the oil alternatives still require a huge amount of work in order to achieve the necessary scale, Mr. Lugar insists that with a big strategic push we can, and must, get there: ''My message is that the balance of realism has passed from those who argue on behalf of oil and a laissez-faire energy policy that relies on market evolution, to those who recognize that in the absence of a major reorientation in the way we get our energy, life in America is going to be much more difficult in the coming decades. No one who is honestly assessing the decline of American leverage around the world due to our energy dependence can fail to see that energy is the albatross of U.S. national security.
"We have entered a different energy era that requires a much different response than in past decades. What is needed is an urgent national campaign led by a succession of presidents and Congresses who will ensure that American ingenuity and resources are fully committed to this problem.''
Lugar, however, has long supported oil drilling in ANWR, and as recently as November 5, 2005, voted against an amendment to the Deficit Reduction Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 2005 that would have removed language allowing "the establishment of an oil and gas leasing program" in ANWR. On March 16, 2005, Lugar voted against an amendment that would have removed language from the FY 2006 budget approving drilling in ANWR. All told, Lugar has voted to open ANWR to drilling no fewer than five times since 2001.
Lugar even noted in the speech Friedman lauded: "Even as we strive to reduce the prevalence of fossil fuel in our energy portfolio, pragmatism requires that we diversify to the greatest extent possible our sources of oil and natural gas. I have supported opening ANWR for exploration. While we continue to debate production there and on the outer continental shelf, we have to carefully consider both the security and economic benefits of more exploration, as well as the environmental costs."
Friedman, in his March 17, 2005, Times column, attacked the Bush administration for striving to open ANWR to drilling, noting that drilling in Alaska will do little to help the U.S. economy, and could lead to increased global warming:
On energy, the Bush team's obsession with drilling in the Alaskan wilderness to increase supply is mind-boggling. ''I am sure China will be thrilled with the Bush decision to drill in Alaska,'' said the noted energy economist Philip Verleger Jr. ''Oil in Alaska cannot easily or efficiently be shipped to our Gulf Coast refineries. The logical markets are on the West Coast of the United States and in Asia. Consumers in China and Japan, not the U.S., will be the real beneficiaries of any big Alaska find.
''With a big find, China and Japan will be able to increase imports from a dependable supplier -- the U.S. -- while consumers in the U.S. will still be at the mercy of unreliable suppliers, such as Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. It is simple geography. [Also], a big find will lead to lower prices in the short term, promoting more emissions and more warming.''
On June 16, 2005, Lugar voted against an amendment to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that proposed to "improve the energy security of the United States and reduce United States dependence on foreign oil imports by 40 percent by 2025."
Friedman gave only a vague indication that Lugar has supported oil interests in the past, writing: "I draw great hope from seeing that smart conservatives like him are no longer willing to let Dick Cheney and Big Oil tell them what is ''realistic'' when it comes to America's energy future."

Hi everybody,
Could anyone give me any advice? I'm trying to choose good books for different levels, from 3 year-old students to 12 year-old students. I've been having a look at the pearson longman catalogue but I´m not sure if the two new books for preschool students will be any good. I used English Adventure B with my 4 year-old students last year but I didn't like it very much in the end. Any ideas?

It's all a preference on where you want your power, because I see my car as a dedicated track car in the future living in the upper 3rd of the rev range I want all my power up there, and whoevers STi that is is a waste of a 35R if they're only making 400whp on a dynojet using the SAE CF and you can tell that tune is sh!t with such a choppy plot and smoothing turned all the way up
i hear that. i still dont know what id want if upgrade turbos.
im not sure of the boost on that STI run though. the other tune was on 100 fuel and made 447hp 431tq. also at least SAE is the lower correction factor opposed to STD which reads higher. some dynojets read low or very well in my opinion. as for the choppy lines all dynojets look and read like that. they take a look at the front drum then rear, then front then rear. thats were the choppiness comes from unlike a mustang. only thing that could need smoothed out is that hump at 4300-4500rpm.
@lk86fire - that's approx. 350 ft/lbs at the wheels, not 250 ft/lbs.
@basco - please correct me if I'm wrong but SAE smoothing factors run from 0 to 5 and that is a 3, so it is not "turned all the way up"
...don't overlook that the car is using CA 91 octane gas on that tune
Syno, where did you get that (original) picture? (just curious)
^ GT35 car is at 250 lb-ft, VF52 is at 350 lb-ft at 3500 rpm's.
...don't overlook that the car is using CA 91 octane gas on that tune
Syno, where did you get that (original) picture? (just curious)

Sean Fagan of SaintsAndHeathens.com
has published three history books.
The first British Lions & their barnstorming Rugby & Aussie rules playing tour of Australia of 1888.
"…a rare sporting story that holds interest for fans of rugby and fans of Australian football."
— The Age, Melbourne
"Superbly written and brilliantly researched, 'The First Lions of Rugby' is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of rugby, rugby league and AFL. It is simply the best book about a football tour ever-written."
— Tony Collins, rugby codes author & historian
THE captivating story of the first British Lions and their history-making tour of Australia and New Zealand. An epic eight month, 54-games expedition of high drama and adventure in the era of Sherlock Holmes, Jules Verne and Jack the Ripper.
Unsanctioned, organised by private speculators, the team assembled in the face of draconian rules against professionalism and zealous officials determined to throttle the playing career of anyone preparing to take part (and, in one cruel case, doing exactly that).
The tour and the treatment of the players, many of whom were from clubs in Yorkshire and Lancashire, was the trigger that opened a rift so wide, that it led to the founding of rugby league.
Travelling by steam-powered ships and trains, horse-drawn carriages accompanied by brass bands and vast crowds, feted and banqueted at every turn; they were 22 young footballers who knew how to enjoy life, and who could handle a horse and shoot a rifle as well as they played rugby.
In often torrid battles they met the best rugby teams of NSW, Queensland and New Zealand. Claims the team were involved in match-fixing and excessive drinking were raised in newspapers.
They then turned their prodigious football talents to Australian Rules, taking on the top clubs of Melbourne & Adelaide (including five now AFL clubs), and stepping into the middle of a 'code war' for national ascendancy. Could they master the Australian game?
Amidst it all the first Lions were to suffer personal torment and sorrow. Two of the party later committed suicide, another died alone, a victim of alcoholism; sad postscripts in the wake of a shocking tragedy during the tour – so cataclysmic and so heartbreaking, it is a wonder the men could go on at all.
But they did…and in time gained pride of place as having been both trail-blazers and visionaries, a stoic lot who overcame adversity to lay down the foundation of a wonderful sporting tradition – the rare but special event of a British Lions tour.
Renowned rugby codes historian Sean Fagan tells a thrilling story in these pages – one that is based on hundreds of hours of research of archives in Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain, during which he meticulously uncovered the lost tale of a band of rugby missionaries of so long ago.
"Fagan's book sheds light on a fascinating and controversial tour. It is entertaining, beautifully written & meticulously researched. You certainly won't be disappointed."
— Lesley Smith, 'The Yorker' (Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library)
"This new, enthralling and most complete account of the first rugby tour of Australia by a British team will entrance and enthrall … A rattling good yarn."
— Spiro Zavos, The Sydney Morning Herald
The First Lions of Rugby by Sean Fagan.
Paperback 304 pages plus 8 pages of glossy b&w photos/drawings; match results table, post tour timeline 1888-1914; 1888-written guides to playing rules of rugby & Aust rules.

"Its revelation is fascinating."
— The Sydney Morning Herald
"It is superbly researched and a very interesting read – in years to come it will be considered a classic."
— Peter Sharpham, author 'The First Wallabies'
'The Rugby Rebellion' (re-titled as 'Pioneers of Rugby League') is now in its final print run – don't miss out!
A now iconic book acclaimed by fans, media and historians of both rugby codes.
It is a history book, but the story it tells reads and unfolds with the pace and intrigue of a mystery and suspense novel.
In a revealing and entertaining way it retraces how rugby became so popular and successful in Australia, that the game itself came to be fought over in a dramatic and bitter battle on and off the field between League and Union for the loyalty of players and fans, culminating with revolutionary matches between the Kangaroos and the Wallabies.
Featuring original newspaper clippings from match reports, re-live game action from a century ago. This 2nd edition also includes bonus section with new articles, records and stats.
It is a thrilling tale – of an uprising by footy-playing working class blokes, dismayed they were not getting a `fair go' from those who ran their game, and the outcome of that anger.
These stunning events of a century ago forever changed Australia's sporting winters.
"Revelations of biblical proportions for rugby (league and union) tragics – continually springing surprises in the style of a real-life thriller."
— The Illawarra Mercury
The Rugby Rebellion by Sean Fagan.

"A very worthwhile read."
— Inside Sport
Dally Messenger was an Australian sporting superstar in the early years of the 20th century – a rugby league immortal, rugby union champion, and the most popular sporting personality of his era.
He represented the Kangaroos in rugby league, the Wallabies in rugby union, and also played for New Zealand in the 13-man code.
Thousands of fans in Australia, England and Wales flocked to footy grounds when he was playing, and he his still revered as an icon in both codes to this very day.
The son of a professional rower, Messenger led the push for footballers to be allowed to fairly share in the financial profits of the game.
The Master is a popular and authoritative account of the life and times of a superlative sportsman, a tribute to a footballer without peer, and an inspiring story for all those who would marvel at this sporting excellence and outstanding achievements.
"An engrossing tale."

Hi Peter
My apologies...
some of us mods have been a little distracted by events in our non-internet lives.
I'm happy to discuss any issues by pm if you wish.

That just doesn't sound quite right to me.." may be some thoughts one might have. If one is not a teacher, but goes around trying to 'teach' others what they, in their opinion, hold to be 'true' or 'right', who is to say that their understanding is any more 'advanced' than those they are attempting to 'teach'?

"If a person has conviction, his statement, 'This is my conviction,' safeguards the truth. But he doesn't yet come to the definite conclusion that 'Only this is true; anything else is worthless.' To this extent, Bharadvaja, there is the safeguarding of the truth. To this extent one safeguards the truth. I describe this as the safeguarding of the truth. But it is not yet an awakening to the truth.

I've never had much of a problem with that, sounds like you need to find a better marker substance.
I've been keeping bees for 33 years and have NEVER been stung by a queen. I handle them a LOT as I raise queens. I won't say a queen cannot sting you, but Jay Smith, who reared thousands of them every year, said he was only stung once by one and that was on a spot that he had previously squished a queen.
Another trivia, when worker bees sting other bees (and other such things as insects, etc.), the stinger is not left behind. It is only in the "fleshy" parts of the higher forms of life that the barbed stinger gets stuck within

This is my 5th handmade & completely finished fold-up book, featuring black and white photography of my grandparent's Wiltshire garden. They used to take such pride in it but as life has gone on, it has become more and more wild and difficult to keep under control. I made this to show that despite how unruly it is, their garden is still beautiful.

In 1969, Gunther Schuller hired pianist/composer/arranger Jaki Byard (1922–1999) as a charter faculty member to create NEC's jazz studies program, then called Afro-American Music. In his more than 15 years at NEC, Byard taught arranging and improvisation and led the Apollo Stompers, a big band composed of NEC students. The Stompers played for years every Wednesday night at Michael's Pub on Gainsborough Street, in addition to performing on campus. Byard's unique blend of historical awareness and creativity continue to influence NEC's jazz curriculum to this day.
Writing in 1972, Doug Ramsey described Byard's pedagogy: "His students … are being inculcated with Byard's respect for the giants of jazz piano. The young people are already accomplished pianists. Jaki's aim is to show them what he has learned in his 42 years at the keyboard … He gives each student a classic ragtime piece to play. He asks him to compose rag in that style and another in the student's own style. And he has them study and emulate the recordings of [Earl] Hines, [Fats] Waller, Art Tatum, James P. Johnson, and Bud Powell, among others … most of the students who come to Byard, although they have been awash in music since they were small children, have never heard these towering figures in American music."
Jaki Byard was born in Worcester, Mass., on June 15, 1922, into a family of musicians. His father played trumpet and trombone in marching bands, and his mother played the piano for the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. His maternal grandmother played the piano for silent movies. Although Byard's primary instrument was piano, he was also recorded playing drums, celeste, vibraphone, guitar, and both alto and tenor saxophones.
During World War II, Byard was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he met Earl Bostic, with whom he toured after the war. Later, he was a member of the bands of Herb Pomeroy (1952–1955, recording in 1957) and Maynard Ferguson (1959–1962). Byard recorded extensively with Charles Mingus (1962–1964 and 1970), touring Europe with him in 1964.
He contributed to Mingus's landmark recordings Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (1963) and Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus (1963). He also made important recordings as a sideman with Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, and Sam Rivers. As a leader, he recorded a series of critically acclaimed recordings for the Prestige label during the 1960s: Here's Jaki (1961), Out Front (1961), Hi-Fly (1962), Freedom Together (1966), Sunshine of My Soul (1967), and The Jaki Byard Experience (1968). Jaki Byard also made numerous recordings for solo piano.

I am located in Florida (but I can help you in most states). I'm working with 2 companies that have been around for over 40 years, it is commission based and the opportunities for advancement and earnings are astonishing to say the least.
This company offers 3 ways of earning income, your personal sales, team sales, and residual income... which means that in a few years if you decide to stop working then you still get paid based on previous sales. There is a performance club which takes very little to be in, and the company will pay you for $500/month extra towards a BMW (they want you to look professional), and also take into consideration that your gas, insurance, and repairs all become tax deductible. There is paid vacations, all the time off you may want since you work on your own schedule, discounts on AT&T, hotels, and many other benefits.
There is a $149 fee for your getting started kit and if you are in Florida there is licensing costs, but it's ALL tax deductible, many things become tax deductible.
If you are interested and want to learn more, shoot me a message and I'll show you a video about the company and answer any and all questions!
I can help you and recruit you in any state except the following: Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Okay well, it's been a long time since I posted a WIP thread here, or updated my in limbo project threads, so may I start with a newer project of mine. I am creating a new custom Clone Commander, whom I have named Commander Tyyrel. It's an homage to my other favorite Sci-Fi flick, Blade Runner (though I have slightly changed the word Tyrrel with a double "y" as opposed to the double "LL") The premise behind this custom is to reflect what a plausible new, small secret police unit may look and, how they would operate in a post Order 66 environment. This unit is much lighter than a typical Clone combat unit, and it's numbers do not exceed 250 troops. Their main focus is to strike terror into the Senate on Coruscant, reporting to the Emperor directly. Not only I am building this new custom clone commander, but I am also re-visioning the classic TK Storm Trooper as grunt to this unit, albeit a slightly earlier version. I hope and pray that eFX still intends release a clean "as-if" version of their hero helmet (low brow).
Now, I have been working on this since September of 10'. Though, with so many life altering events starting with the closing of my real estate company (of which I was with for 22 years) this project has been sputtering along slowly, literally one tiny step at a time. I am happy to say that things have settled down dramatically, and I can now proceed with this and other in limbo projects
Let's get rollin'! As you will see in the select images below, the helmet is going through a major lens socket/face-plate modification. For years I have wanted to emulate what a film Phase-II ARC could look like, and with the new prototype ARCs in Season III of the Clone Wars, I have been re-motivated to explore this concept. The goal here with the new Commander's helmet is too literally replicate the Phase-I AOTC lens socket in a direct 1:1 transfer to the Phase-II faceplate, without losing the geometry of the Phase-I socket. It's been tough, especially of the sloping faceplate of the Phase-II and it's subtle nuances. At this stage, I am about 90% of achieving my desired goal.
Here below is an image of the basic Phase-I T-Visor lens socket penciled directly onto the subject base helmet. This base helmet is an OSCS-III and as many of you may know this an insanely cool kit to work with. (This is my third OSCS to date) Marcello totally shreds at these
(Please ignore the image dates as they are incorrect! Most were taken in May of this year 2011)
Beginning stages of setting the general frame work for the Phase-I lens socket:
Ground down and ready for Magic Sculpt putty work:
Magic Sculpt in place and drying. This is the first time I am using this stuff and I absolutely love it!
First base layer of Magic Sculpt sanded into the faceplate, integrating the new lens socket into place
Here is a link to the entire WIP Image album to date, followed by a few more of the most current images below http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y29...e%20Commander/
Fast forwarding a bit and here we are currently; roughly at the 90% finished stage. I will highlight all remaining steps in my next update. There are
a few more nips and tucks that need I still need to do on the helmet, that of which I will follow up on next time!

Posted by Boris Evelson on the Application Development & Delivery Professionals Blog on July 23, 2011
By Boris Evelson and Rob Karel
Our latest BI solution center (BISC, which in our definition is more than a BICC/BI COE) report is now live on the Forrester website. Here's a brief summary.
Forrester firmly believes that tried and true best practices for enterprise software development and support just don't work for business intelligence (BI). Earlier-generation BI support centers — organized along the same lines as support centers for all other enterprise software — fall short when it comes to taking BI's peculiarities into account. These unique BI requirements include less reliance on the traditional software development life cycle (SDLC) and project planning and more emphasis on reacting to the constant change of business requirements. Forrester recommends structuring your BISC along somewhat different lines than traditional technical support organizations.
Earlier-generation BI support organizations are less than effective because they often

The term WASP ordinarily is used to denote White Anglo Saxon Males who so frequently dominate the power structure of America. But, during World War II, there was a different group of WASPS–Women Airforce Service Pilots" who flew planes and performed tasks to free males to go overseas and fight the air war. The women flew cargo planes, took planes from hangers to be sent overseas, and towed targets for men training to become fighter pilots. Of course, in those days, the very thought of women actually being allowed to serve in combat zones was strictly off limits. The group was disbanded in late 1944 when men began returning from overseas and the women sent back to tasks that real WASPS believed was most appropriate like cooking and raising children.
These women who served their country in time of war had to wait until 1977 when Congress finally got around to providing them the GI Bill of Rights given all those who served the nation. Of course, by that time the GI Bill was of scant use to a woman in her fifties, but those were the "good old days" when women knew their place.
Congress will award every woman who served in the WASP a gold medal. At least those who are still alive will finally get some recognition.

I found these two photos on some European Rebel Legion site. They are supposed to be shots of the screen used helmet. The purpose of the photos, according to the site, was to show the number 1138 printed on the side of the helmet. I'm not in to Boushh, but I thought I should put them in here.
Also, I never realized the wrap around part was leather, but apparently if these photos are accurate, then I guess it is.

text: I think the people who consider college degrees to be the "back up plan" are stuck living in the 90s. In this economy a degree really means very little. You're 50,000 dollars in debt and it won't help you get a job. Most of my friends who've graduated college in the past couple of years either still cannot find a job, or are working at jobs they didn't need degrees for (read: retail). Unless one has a dream of becoming a doctor or lawyer (read: graduate studies, aka 8 years of school) a simple BA doesn't really help many people these days. Most jobs you get are through connections or previous experience. Sure there might be some companies that require degrees but those are usually corporate jobs that most skaters and other retired artistic/sports people might not be so inclined to go out for anyways. Tara's qualifications from her previous accomplishments would help her get a job much easier than a BA would. Of course, she's better off staying in her field, but that would be true for anyone. Without experience no one will hire you these days. School's a good experience but a pretty expensive one and these days more than ever it doesn't in anyway guarantee a job, especially not an undergraduate degree.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:14am
Ryan Boyle is one of lacrosse's most accomplished figures. He's won championships at every level (MIAA, NCAA DI, ILF/FIL and MLL), has a thriving instructional and camp business in Trilogy Lacrosse and he's now even working color commentary on ESPNU. Having appeared on Inside Lacrosse Magazine covers from 1999 (Recruiting Issue) to as recently as 2011 (August MLL), he's been a huge name in the sport for going on 15 years.
Today he's kicking off Inside Lacrosse's first live Google Hangout, in preparation for Saturday's Princeton-Syracuse game that will he will help call live on ESPNU at 5 p.m. The two-time first-team All-American won a national title in 2001 as a freshman with the Tigers, and was part of the run of three straight Syracuse-Princeton NCAA Finals. A New York City resident, he's also well-versed in the area lacrosse scene and will be hitting on April 27's Konica Minolta Big City Classic at MetLife Stadium in E. Rutherford, N.J., that features Princeton-Cornell at 4 p.m., and Notre Dame-Syracuse at 6:30. And we'd be remiss not to pick his brain for some training and instructional tips as well.
Oh yeah, and he's gearing up for another run with the Boston Cannons in addition to preparing for U.S. Team tryouts later this summer for his fourth run representing the Stars and Stripes.
The chat was on both Inside Lacrosse's Google+ and YouTube pages. We had some technical difficulties (so apologies for some awkward transitions in here), but I managed to do some surgery and splice it all back together. You can also access the podcast below the video.

Tom Stover is entering his 13th season as Green Bay's head men's and women's diving coach in 2017-18. Stover came to the Phoenix in 2005 following his retirement from high school coaching.
Stover earned Horizon League Men's Diving Coach of the Year honors in 2012, marking the seventh combined coach of the year honor between men's and women's awards. In 2011 he was named both the men's and women's diving coach of the year, marking the second straight year he won the award on both sides. Stover also won the women's honor in 2008 and the men's in 2009. In addition, under his tutelage, Green Bay has had over 12 NCAA Zone Regional qualifiers. Stover also helped the women's swimming and diving team win seven straight league championships from 2005-11.
Stover served as a long-time swimming and diving coach, as well as school guidance counselor, at Sturgeon Bay High School. During his career, Stover coached his Clippers teams to three team state championships, one runner-up state finish, six sectional titles and 20 conference crowns. He also coached 14 individuals or relays to state championships. He was named Wisconsin Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association Division 2 boys' state coach of the year in both 2003 and 2004.
A Winona, Minn., native, Stover competed on the Winona State University diving team from 1964-67, earning trips to the NAIA national meet in 1965 and 1967. He set the school's one-meter and three-meter diving records in 1967 before earning his bachelor's degree in 1969. He received his master's degree from UW-Stout in 1984.
Tom and his wife, Maggie, live in Sturgeon Bay. They have three daughters: Lindsey Jo, Kayla and Anna.

By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger remains resolute in his belief that Arsenal should be a self-sustaining football club.
Over the summer, the policy came under some scrutiny but the manager still believes that it is "vital" for the long-term security of the 126-year-old organisation. And he once again pledged his support to UEFA's introduction of Financial Fair Play legislation.
"We always defend the values of the Club and the model has to be self-sustainable," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "Otherwise it can completely go out of shape and become very fragile.
"The financial solidity of the Club is vital for me. I have always supported that and I will continue to do that.
"I believe that Financial Fair Play is all about that. If UEFA push it through they will have a big supporter in me. I believe that football has to work like every single company, it has to work with the money it produces itself."
But, Wenger asserts, self-sustainability should not limit your aspirations.
"We have been in the Champions League for 15 years now and I believe that shows that our model works," he said. "But, on the other hand we are very ambitious, we want as well to win trophies.
"It's not enough just to be in the Champions League and we are focused on that of course. We work very hard to make the team stronger."

The world's last Hindu kingdom became the newest secular republic as the people of Nepal celebrated in the streets the end of a monarchy that had lost the confidence of its subjects. Thousands of people marched, danced and sang in the streets of Katmandu awaiting the vote of the assembly which decided it was time for King Gyanendra to depart to another place of residence. The vote to end the 239 year-old monarchy was 560 to four. Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala declared Nepal's rebirth as a republic. "We have entered a new era today." The King was given 15 days to quit the palace and move to another of his places of residence.
Nepal has endured a decade of violence including the 2001 palace m asscre in which a gunman, allgedly the crown prince assassinated the late King Birendra and much of the
royal family before killing hmself. The event may have created an uneasiness about the very nature of royal family.
Th communists are now in firm control of the nation and have pledged to continue its capitalist way of life. They are still struggling to establish a government and then will face the more difficult process of governing a nation.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-- The 14th-ranked Tennessee swimming and diving team was defeated by fifth-rated Florida Saturday afternoon 129-109.
Tennessee seniors Andrew Bree, Evan Fischer, Jamie Graves, Evan Nylander and Raymond Rosal were honored before the last home meet of the season.
"Florida swam great today," head coach John Trembley said. "They are clearly a top-five team. Raymond (Rosal) showed a lot of spirit today. Casey (Dauw) swam a very nice 500 freestyle for the win and captain Andrew Bree finished a great home career with a win in his specialty."
Rosal ended the last home meet of his career on a high note by out-touching Gabriel Mangabeira in the 50-yard freestyle in 20.87 seconds.
"It was a good swim for the last home meet," Rosal said. "It was a tough meet against a good team, but we did have a couple of strong races."
Bree won his final swim in his home pool by winning the 200 yard-breaststroke in a time of 2:02.33. Bree also finished second in the 200-yard individual medley (1:52.43).
"I enjoyed the meet today," Bree said. "It was good to see the stands full of people and we'll continue to look towards the NCAA championships. The competition was tough today, but hopefully we'll give them a run at the end of the season."
Graves finished second in the 200-yard butterfly behind NCAA champion Adam Sioui of Florida.
Sophomore Bryan Goldberg finished second in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:40.49. Sioui narrowly edged out Goldberg and won the event in 1:39.74. Casey Dauw touched third in 1:40.65.
Dauw turned in the winning time in the 500-yard freestyle (4:31.32), edging Scott Kaufmann of Florida.
Junior Phillip Jones and freshman Jevon Tarantino took the top two spots on the three-meter board. Jones won the event with 388.65 points and topped Tarantino's score of 352.79. The pair also finished two-three in the one-meter event, with Jones taking second behind Florida's Zach Wilcox.
"I was pleased with Phillip's consistency today even though he was beat (in the one-meter) by the defending NCAA champion," head diving coach Dave Parrington said. "Phil is diving tired as the result of a hectic academic schedule and we are seeing some of the early effects from that. Jevon had a good three-meter and Venditti is showing some good signs of improvement."
Next up for the Vols is a trip to North Carolina State on Feb. 8.

Becky, the photos are really great. However, with the design of your blog, I would suggest that you make the paragraphs narrower. With that your blog will even be better and will surely match with your nice photos. Thanks for shraing this. This will surely help.

Cray SX-6 Installed at ARSC
Fairbanks, Alaska - The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center (ARSC) and Cray Inc. (Nasdaq NM: CRAY) announced today an agreement that places a Cray SX-6 at ARSC. ARSC is pleased to be able to offer this leading technology to the wider High Performance Computing (HPC) community for testing and evaluation. This is the first installation of a Cray SX-6 system in the United States under the OEM agreement concluded last year between Cray Inc. and NEC. New users should be able to access the system by mid-July.
Under the agreement, the Cray SX-6 installed at ARSC will remain at the center for 12 months. During this time, ARSC will manage and operate the system and intends to develop comparative benchmarks for users' applications across the architectures available at ARSC. Other objectives will be to help researchers make effective use of the SX-6 vector environment, and to explore how different levels of information security can be achieved. Cray Inc. will have shared use of the SX-6 while it is in Fairbanks for applications development, benchmarking and sponsored users.
"Providing access to SX-6 technology, the same fundamental technology found in the Earth Simulator, will greatly advantage computational scientists and staff supporting HPC resources," said Dr. Frank Williams, ARSC's director. "I'm looking forward to a robust evaluation of this additional tool for solving the largest and most difficult of computational problems."
The system, named Rime, has eight processors, 64 gigabytes of memory, 1 terabyte disk and a 500 MHz system clock. System peak performance is 64 GFLOPS. The name Rime, which means a frost or granular ice coating on objects that is formed from supercooled cloud or fog, fits well with the system's particular capabilities for use with weather and climate programs.
The Cray SX-6 vector processor is fully contained on a single chip, unlike the previous generation SX Series system that required 32 chips for equivalent performance and functionality. The uniform shared memory of the single-node Cray SX-6 supercomputer provides uniquely high bandwidth and reduced latency to ensure the highest levels of sustained performance.
The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center, located on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, supports computational research in science and engineering with emphasis on high latitudes and the Arctic. The center provides high performance computational, visualization, networking and data storage resources for researchers within the University of Alaska, other academic institutions, the Department of Defense and other government agencies. ARSC is a DoD Supercomputing Resource Center in the Department of Defense's High Performance Computing Modernization Program. For additional information about ARSC, go to www.arsc.edu.
Cray Inc. is a leading provider of supercomputing solutions for customers' most challenging scientific and engineering problems. Go to www.cray.com for more information about the company.
CONTACT: Jenn Wagaman, ARSC Publications Information Officer, voice: (907) 450-8662, email: firstname.lastname@example.com .
For information concerning access to the SX-6 system, contact Barbara Horner-Miller, ARSC Associate Director (907) 474-5409, email@example.com .

Discussions concerning Israel ordinarily revolve around issues pertaining to the Jewish-Muslim conflict and less attention is paid to the growing war between secular and Orthodox Jews for control of the nation. In the battle as to which groups would gain victory in the Jerusalem mayor contest, the city was treated to a blatant attempt by the Orthodox candidate to make clear he has no sympathy for secular Jews. In a statement caught on tape, Rabbi Meir Porush, said his goal was wiping out the secular opposition. "Within ten years there will not be secular candidate at all in any city, maybe in an abandoned village." Secular Jerusalem residents were furious and some already are organizing to halt construction of an Orthodox kindergarten in west Jerusalem. "Kiryat Yovel has been a pluralistic place but now it is changing" as Orthodox residents attempt to impose their religious beliefs on secular residents.
Orthodox Jews account for about 25% of the electorate but they mobilize at election time and get out the vote for their candidates. As Jews argue, Muslim Palestinian residents are facing constant pressure to move and their future in Jerusalem will be doubtful if the Orthodox gain more power in Israel.


text: Hello all, I am really curious about a question here. To experienced eyes, in what circumstances can a RFI bracket (cheated with some edge issues) skated on a curve be mistaken for a RF? 3-turn? In this situation the observer is 4 feet from the skater on clean ice with unblocked view, the skater attempted the bracket about 3 times and those were called 3-turns. The skater is later told that "the difference between a bracket & a 3-turn can be as small as a change of edge", is this statement justified and would it cause a RFI bracket be identified as RF? 3-turn? Would the situation change if instead of RFI it was LFO? Your help is greatly appreciated!

Can you advise please?
I have two private, male students, both 20 years old.
I have assessed them at the intermediate level.
As part of their speaking and listening lesson plan I want to work through a story.
Can anyone recommend an English (UK English) book for us to read and work through, one that is relatively modern but avoiding common slang and idioms? We tried The Thirty Nine Steps by John Bucan, an excellent story, but the level of English, sentence construction were too advanced, also many words were outdated. We then tried Treasure Island by R.L.S., and that too had outdated, archaic words.
Help, what can someone recommend ?

Arsenal Ladies welcomed Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Maria Miller, to Meadow Park on Thursday for their Champions League tie with German side Potsdam.
The minister watched the Gunners' 2-1 victory over the Frauen Bundesliga champions with the Ladies' general manager Vic Akers and FA representatives. She was given some background on the Ladies' set-up and history, while taking in what was a first-ever victory over German opposition for the women's side.
The visit came less than a week after the Double-winning Ladies showed off their Women's Super League and Continental Cup trophies to an appreciative Emirates Stadium crowd at the Queens Park Rangers game. On that day the Club celebrated its Arsenal for Everyone initiative - recognising the equality and diversity of the Club and its fanbase.
Akers was pleased to be able to show the Secretary of State the central part that the Arsenal Ladies play at the Club."We enjoyed hosting the minister at Thursday's match and letting her know how we do things," he said. "The Arsenal Ladies have come a long way since the team was founded back in 1985 and it was encouraging to hear Maria Miller's enthusiasm for continuing to develop the sport."
Miller, who participated in the FA's 'Game Changer' announcement last week - when football's governing body unveiled a new five-year plan for the women's game - has been a keen advocate of the sport since taking on the Culture, Media and Sport brief in September. She said of the visit: "It was inspiring to see the high level of attendance at the game and even more so to see that broadcasters covered the match.
"Promoting women's sport is vital and raising the levels of participation amongst girls and women is something the government is committed to achieving, so to be able watch matches like this is a real pleasure."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
