So, I would like to know how the dream turned out! What type of boat did you end up with? Are you still a family on the water?
How do you do laundry for a family of five when you are at sea?
What do you do for income? Do you have to be independantly wealthy before you can live this dream?
How do people feel about wooden boats vs fibreglass for ocean voyages?
|Joe Welcome to sailnet....Ya might want to look at post dates befor posting ...you are responding to a initially 4 year old thread..
pick up a 25 ft macgregor with water ballast for $3000 or so.
it has enough room to take the family
and if you run aground just pump the ballast and refloat her.
Also the kids should be learning to sail.
I learned when I was 8, be sure to include them in everything you do as it will be their home too.
Read the books, take the courses but there is no beter way to learn then to actually be on the water.
I recently had a guy on my boat who was book learned. He knew every line ,every term, the right way to leave the dock depending on wind direction.
What everything on the boar was for and how to work it.
We went out, raised the sail and he was lost! Had no idea what to do, what line to use and he immediately turned the greatest color green you have ever seen. He couldn't associate what he was seeing with what he learned in a book.
Moral of the story is GET OUT THERE.
and to learn of the cruising life, pick up latts and atts magazine for info on the cruising life.
Oh one last thing. If your on a 4 year plan and the oldest is 14
HE'S NOT GOING TO WANT TO COME he will be 17 . New girlfriend, wants to graduate with his friends, he thinks its a stupid idea etc. you may want to shorten the plan a bit while he still wants to go.
|Only you can make it come true.Do a google search,type in northern magic,The steumers,a family with 3 boys,same age as yours,left ottawa 98 went round in 42ft steel ketch. Great website,strongly recomend you buy the book.They had very little exp,but they did thier homework,book will show you what to expect.The most fantastic, and fufilling exp of your life is there waitting,if you want it enough.Recomend steel const for safety reasons offshore.and do the research,preparations that others have recomended.i have a32ft steel sloop that i am refitting now.Hope to see you out there,best of luck..BILL S/V MISTLETOE, PORT HOPE ONT

I had a dream!
I had a dream too.Me and my wife Mariola decided last Friday we are going too! You are not going to be alone out there Kimby! We have children too, 10 and 6 year old and kids took sailing lessons last year,and soon after bought in Vancouver a used dinghy, Tasar. Here in Kelowna we joined a sailing club and started to sail. I love it. But last week we said,the hell with it,life is to short and to beautiful .We are very excited about it . That is all what I can talk about these days . The bad side of it is, that we will have to wait at least a year or more by the time we learn sailing,doing maintenance etc . We will take the time and what ever it takes to achieve our goal.

There were a number of good suggestions as to first boats, plus the caveat that if your experience is minimal to get some hands on saiiing classes first. The charter compmanies are going to want to see the basic certifications before you take their boat anyhow. Sailing different types of boats is one of the best educations you can get.
I''d like to add one more suggestion. Go look at every boat you can that comes up for sail in your area. Look at one, buy a Don Casey book "Inspecting the aging sailboat". Then go look at a lot more. Deliberately look at different types to help you understand what you like, and then WHY you like it.
Try and get to the point that you can look over a boat ,and from your notes give a good overview of what you saw for your spouse.
If you really want to be happy for a long time with the first boat you buy, learn the sport to the point that you understand why the galley is almost always on the port side of the cabin.
Plus, shop Yachtworld like it''s a free education (it can be).
Your first post gave the three kids ages as 14 to 9. You should be able to get significant and productive work out of all by that age.
Our boys 15 to 7 are all productive... even # 3 son can do a half hour on the helm. And our 15 year old is awsome on the water. While we have high hopes for our youngest, his four year old judgement + 40 year old "can do" soul is a spooky combination. He has fun, but no driving for a while.
Youth sailing sumer sessions in Sabot dinghys worked wonders (two week sessions start at age 8 out here).

CORRECTION: Ok, I got it wrong and I need to clarify. The reward was specifically for an overturned PROUT catamaran being offered by Prout (when they were in business). Chalk up the confision to pregnancy brain, sitting on a hot boat haveing false contractions can do that to you.
At any rate, the overall point is, be sure you hear opinions about cats from people who have sailed them at length and be sure to go out there yourself and test the waters and form your own opinion. BUt you knew that!
help with lifes dream
I think it is wonderful that you and your husband plan/dream of tasking your kids on what will surely be an adventure of a life time. My wife and I cruised fulltime for 12 years and met many "families" doing the same.
I would like to stress several points that will help make your dream/plan a reality.
1- DO NOT take the advise of other dreamers. The reality of spending years cruising is far different from the dream. Listen to those that have been there.
2-The ONLY way to determine what type or size boat YOUR family will need is through experience. You will not get it from a book or from the advise of others. Example: If you have read any of the Sailnet archives, you will see that Jeff H is a wealth of information. He has forgotten more than I will ever know about yacht design and boat systems. BUT, after 12 years of cruising, my opinion of what makes a good cruising sailboat is totally different from Jeff''s. Neither one of us is right, nor are we wrong. EVERYONE uses their boat differently. What works for one family of 5 will not work for another family of 5. This doesn''t mean that you can''t learn from someone who is "living their dream", just keep in mind that it is THEIR dream. You MUST get experience on the water with your family to determine what works for you. After 12 years of cruising my wife and I still can not agree on what make the perfect boat for the 2 of us.
3-Understand that your view of what is best for your family will be constantly changing. The more experience you have, the more your views will evolve.
Good luck with your plans!!! They are possible!!!
help with lifes dream
It is not all that hard to find pictures of large cruising cats that have turned over. Heck my Dad has half a dozen of the cruising cat that capsized while at anchor in the Bahamas and whose mast hit my father''s boat. The pictures were used as evidence in the suit to recover for the damage to my father''s boat. Granted a rather large wind came through the anchorage.
Then there were some very dramatic pictures of the 50 footer that capsized off of South Africa that were circulating on the net last year or so. That one actually ended up sinking so you could barely see the leeward hull.
I don''t know where the info comes from but larger cats turtle or break up with fair regularity. There was one off the mouth of Delaware Bay not all that long ago.

Council Bluffs, IA (April, 2014) — After three intense days of competition in the Main Event at Council Bluffs, Blair Hinkle, the defending champion in this tournament, emerged from the fray victorious yet again.
Hinkle's performance is one for the record books. This is the first time in the history of the World Series of Poker Circuit that anyone has won the Main Event at the same stop two years in a row. Hinkle also has another victory in the Main Event here (in August 2010), and he is the first person ever to win the same Main Event three times. In fact, only one other player, Chris Ferguson, has three Main Event rings.
Hinkle's victory seemed destined almost from the start. On Day 1, Hinkle went on an incredible hot streak. He finished the day atop the chip counts, and he accumulated so many chips that he held about 2.5 times as much as his nearest competitor. He had more chips after Day 1 than two players had at the start of the final table. At the start of Monday's Day 3, Hinkle entered the final table second in chips, just behind the leader, Ken Douglas, who eventually finished third.
Hinkle stayed humble despite his historic achievement, focusing on his play rather than his impressive results. He said after his victory, "I don't think it's set in exactly yet. I think I just take a lot of pride in my play and winning the tournaments. I think that my play is pretty good as we get deeper and it really starts to turn up to a higher level as we get closer to the final table and throughout the final table. I think that's what I'm proud of. Winning each time doesn't matter as much to me as playing well and feeling like I deserve to win it, I guess."
The final table was a fast-paced affair. The first elimination (John Holley, ninth place) occurred after only 20 minutes of play. After just three and half hours, seven players had been eliminated, leaving Hinkle and Matt Bond to play heads up for the title. Bond started heads-up play with a substantial chip lead -- about 3,500,000 to 1,400,000. However, Hinkle took over the lead after 30 minutes, and nearly put the final nail in the coffin after just over an hour of heads-up play. Bond moved all in with Ac-Jh, and Hinkle called him with Qd-Qc. Fate smiled on Bond this hand, though. A jack fell on the flop, and another on the turn.
If Hinkle seemed destined to win from Day 1, Matt Bond seemed destined to win for much of the final table. On just the second hand of the day, he doubled up through the chip leader, jumping up the leaderboard and knocking Ken Douglas down to an average chip stack. Bond stayed near the top of the chip counts for the rest of the day, and his victory over Hinkle's pocket queens made it seem like victory was inevitable for him.
Hinkle had other ideas, though, and he stayed focused despite the ups and downs of the day. "If I ever start to think I'm going to win again I try to keep myself in check," he said. "If I got too far negative the other way I say 'Hey, you're playing good keep it going and see what happens.' I don't like to tell myself that I'm going to win or that it's not going to happen again. I just try and keep focused on every single hand that I play and keep playing well."
Despite being second in chips for much of the heads-up match, Hinkle continually battled back, keeping enough chips to remain a constant threat to his opponent. After about five hours of heads-up play, he won two all-in pots in quick succession, retaking the chip lead. A few minutes later, he sealed his victory and his place in the WSOP Circuit history books. He won $90,700 for his first-place finish.
Even before the final table, this tournament was filled with stories and subplots. The last player eliminated Sunday night was Alexandru Masek, who holds the record for most career WSOP Circuit rings. He won his record-breaking eighth ring about a month ago in St. Louis, and nearly extended his own record here at Council Bluffs. He made the final table of two preliminary events, and finished in 10th place in the Main Event.
There were also several players who have made a habit of performing well here at Council Bluffs. In addition to Hinkle, whose amazing achievements speak for themselves, Charles "Woody" Moore and Bernard Lee have also found consistent success in this tournament. Moore finished second in this event two years ago, and fifth in 2010 (when Hinkle won it for the first time). Bernard Lee also made a deep run that year, eventually finishing in 10th. He also finished fourth in the Main Event here in 2008. Moore continued his run of final tables this year, eventually bowing out in seventh. Lee just missed the final table, finishing in 12th place.
A few competitors here are famous for their deep runs in the World Series of Poker Main Event. Bernard Lee finished in 13th place in 2005. Dennis Phillips is a former November Niner, finishing third in 2008. Phillips entered both Day 1A and Day 1B, but was unable to make it to Day 2. Phil Mader made a deep run in the WSOP Main Event 2013, eventually finishing in 43rd place. He made Day 2 here at Council Bluffs, but was eliminated just short of the money.
The Main Event was the 11th of 12 gold ring events on the WSOP Circuit schedule at Council Bluffs. The $1,675 No-Limit Hold'em tournament attracted 247 entries generating a $370,500 prize pool. The top 27 players were paid.
The tournament featured two starting flights beginning Saturday at 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. playing 12 levels apiece. The noon flight boasted 150 entries and advanced 53 while Saturday's flight boasted 94 and advanced 28.

Why We Love Nina Dobrev
Love The Vampire Diaries? Seventeen's April cover girl Nina Dobrev opens up in her interview about how she fulfilled her dreams of being an actress (hint, hint: it's a secret trick even you can do!) and she gives the scoop on what it's like working with Paul and Ian on set.
How much fun would it be to work with those guys every day, right? Nina's such a fun, sweet and down-to-earth girl - someone you'd want to be best friends with. And apparently that's how it's going to stay with her and her costars - just friends. In the interview, Nina talks about why she would never date the guys.
So, what do you think about Nina? Are you a fan of hers and what do you think about her Seventeen feature? Let me know!

To all that have replied - Bluewater MD, Chuteman, Hphoen, Cam, Brak, Billyruffn, E38, and Chrondi:
I want to thank you all for alleviating concerns about my trip and providing some excellent recommendations as far as what to see, provision, and visit during my upcoming charter to the Grenadines! The quality of postings by all of you on this forum is first rate – I hope to run into some of you one day – maybe while out sailing! Appreciate you all taking the time to help out!
Fair winds,
The Tobago Keys are great. Absolutely beautiful islands and beaches. No shops or anything, with the exception of a few locals selling wood carvings and fresh lobster.
Bequia is without a doubt my favorite island out of St Vincent and the Grenadines. The people are wonderful, there are great little restaurants, and secluded beaches. I have spent many days in Bequia, and might recommend staying a couple of days... or at least a day at the beginning and another day at the end of your trip.
Regardless of where you decide to go, I am sure you will have a great time. The Grenadines are a very special place!
Been doing a bunch of searching & reading as I prepare for charter in the Grenadines.
You may enjoy a preview ...............get comfortable and scroll up when it pops
St. Vincent Provisioning Summary:
The story is...
You walk in to Basil's bar. You ask, "Has Mick been here lately?" The answer, "Oh, yeah! He was here last night and did a set for us."
Doesn't matter when you ask...
|OK...so Canouan needs to drop in favor of either PSV or Brittania Bay...I vote for Mustique and a chance to hang with he Mickster!
Cam's proposed itenerary is an excellent suggestion, but I wonder about Canouan.
We've been there three times (twice to pick up and deposit guests), and didn't find much of interest compared to the other islands. I mean, it's a pretty island, as they go in the Grenadines, and we had a nice walk around, but really didn't find much else to do. And the swell was so bad in Charlestown Bay that we opted to head for Mayreau rather than spend the night there--we definitely wouldn't have been able to sleep, we were rolling so badly.
South Glossy Bay is pretty nice, but I'd be willing to bet you a Carib that the little French hotel/restaurant/bar there is out of business by now. They were barely hanging in there when we were there two years ago. The bartender told me that the Canouan government had agreed to limit hotel room availability on the island to promote the Raffles development on the northern end. The locals were incensed about it.
Here's Chris Doyle's summary of Canouan: http://www.doyleguides.com/canouan2.htm
Visiting Mustique is an "experience", and well worth it to some. My wife, Lynne and her visiting friend, enjoyed seeing it. I went along to carry the credit cards. But you should know that, last time I checked, they were charging $25 US per night for moorings, with a three night minimum, i.e., $75 US. We visited Mustique on a day sail on the Caribbean schooner, The Friendship Rose. She leaves Admiralty Harbour on Bequia in the morning, and you're back by 4:30 pm or so. They do a fantastic job of wining and dining their guests while on board, and you get to see a genuine piece of Bequia's sailing history up close.
|Bernie K
Thanks for the tips -- from what I read I do want to get to Britannia Bay, Mustique. Hadn't read about Basils bar but will make that at plan. We typically eat out one night during the week. Was this your favorite restaurant?
|Bernie K
I like your suggestions - on the provisioning, the last time we went through Tortolla we had Sunsail provision and were pleased. Is there a reason you didn't provision - and did the store work out OK?
Appreciate your link. Have picked up the first book you mentioned - has some useful info.
Dear Bernie,
Cam's 7 day schedule makes much sense. My only alternative proposal would be to skip Petit St. Vincent (Mopion island is too small to be of any interest either) and add Britannia Bay, Mustique, just for the fun of having dinner (and dance!) at Basil's bar. The restaurant of the luxury hotel at Petit St. Vincent is quite expensive by any rate, while the ambiance at Basil's bar (and residences + Cotton Club hotel on Mustique island BTW) is just exceptional.
We chartered for 7 days out of St.Vincent in 2006. It is a great place to sail. Some big ocean swells in the short passages between some of the islands and there is often a good breeze on. I recommend staying flexible and not trying to get to too many places. Cam's proposed itinerary looks good to me. Here is what we did:
Day 0: Arrive St. Vincent and overnight on the boat.
Day 1: Check-out and provision and sail to Admiralty Bay, Bequia. We had arranged provisioning through the charter company and then canceled and provisioned through a grocery store in St. Vincent I had found on the web. There was a mis-communication on this and it ended up causing a big delay in our departure. Because of this, we opted for the short sail to Bequia instead of the planned sail to Mustique.
Day 2: Explored Bequia from Admiralty Bay. There are beautiful secluded beaches on the other side of the island.
Day 3: Tobago Cays (get an early enough start so that you are not arriving too late in the day at Tobago Cays). You'll have some time in the afternoon to enjoy the Cays.
Day 4: Enjoy the morning in Tobago Cays and then short sail to Saltwhistle Bay, Mayreau
Day 5: Canouan
Day 6: Admiralty Bay, Bequia (you want to be close to St. Vincent for the return sail on the following day).
Day 7: Return to St. Vincent
One of the members of our party was particularly disappointed at not getting to Mustique. However, I'm glad we didn't try to fit it in. From what I could tell, it's not necessarily a short easy sail from Admiralty Bay to Mustique (usually most of it upwind and up current so your estimate is probably off unless you get lucky with the weather). Next time we go the Grenadines, we'll try to charter out of Canouan (Moorings has a base there) so that we don't have to cross the Bequia channel twice.

I just shot about 120 rounds in a local IDPA match. The load was 185gr Precision Blacks @ 1.130 and N320. The chamber area looked like only a couple rounds were fired when I got home and opened the gun. The barrel had a very light grey/black covering that I could easily see the barrel steel.
I am extremely impressed and will buy more. Harold H.

nothing original here
can someone explain this to me???
let me start out by saying i'm young (23), and follow politics more closely than many my age. while i think tax cuts are a good idea, i don't exactly agree with what the new tax rebate plan the house has put out.
now that the senate is working on their proposal, let me ask this: why is it that senate and select economist say that extending unemployment and food stamps will more directly inject the economy with money faster than these tax rebates??? am i the only person that thinks this is ass backwards???

I don't agree with the fact that only people making less than 75k get the rebate. I also don't agree that people who make less than 3k a year and don't pay taxes should get a rebate. What kind of socialist hell hole is the U.S. becoming?
Moving to Canada is starting to sound better. I mean they are more socialist now but they off set that not having any Kwames and having exported Jenny.

i just don't get it, reading the paper this morning, and seeing the statement, "senate , along with some economists, believe extending unemployment and food stamp benefits will have both a quicker, and more direct impact on the economy than the tax rebates".
i really don't think the tax rebates were the right idea, but then giving them to those that don't pay taxes, and excluding higher incomes??? i don't get it, and never will
i guess if socialism is the "ideal" way to govern, we're all screwed

It makes no difference, the checks won't help the economy anyway. People only use the money to pay down debt, they don't go out and start businesses with it. It's been tried several times already, didn't work then and it won't work now.
It's a political move in an election year. They appear to be doing something to help, but in reality they are doing nothing. The best way to stimulate the economy is to lower taxes. That helps business grow, creates jobs, and allows us to keep the money we earn working.
The rebate is taking money from us in the future and giving it to us now. It's like using your credit card to make your house payment. Stupid.
Giving out more food stamps and extending unemployment is a typical move for a democratically controled senate.
Vote buying, that's all. It's unfortunate that it works, helping to prove my theory that most americans aren't qualified to vote.

the whole idea behind the rebate check is that the government know that most people can't wait to spend the money which in turns floods the economy with more money floatin around and changin hands. you want to screw the government and have this idea backfire in their face?, throw that money you get in that rebate into some sort of savings and let it collect interest that the government is also paying. no influx of money for them then. any way the government doesn't have 150 billion to give anyway, did they forget about the national deficit?

nothing original here
it just amazes me that the gov't took such a backwards approach to this whole idea. i realize that the dems don't want to benefit the "rich". but as i see it, there is no reason to exclude the people that put the most money into the economy. as i see it, why wouldn't you want them to have the power to buy up stocks that will gain tons of value in both the short and long term, instead of people that can barely afford to go out to eat at applebee's?

Now I actually have a reason to vote for the . . . one less idiot on the US if they win
Grannholm ruining the US Is this guy serious?
Edit: I remember a few years ago when all the rednecks saying "if you don't like america then GET OUT" if you disagreed with the current administration and now that is seriously that stance they are taking when looking at the possible future administration
and just so you're not confused even though I might vote for Hillary just to run guys like the quoted above out of USA, I'm voting for Mitt if he gets the nod . . . if not I guess I'll once again pick the lesser of two evils

The wealth don't buy up stocks intimes like this. If people aren't spending and stock price's drop, investors move into bonds and other ventures. When the economy starts to pick up and stocks start to move back, this is when they jump back into buying stocks.
It is all simple economics but if you don't understand it, then you think the government is out to get you. This has all been done before and has worked pretty well in the past. It is never perfect. The timing is difficult to get right and not everyone agrees, which makes it even more difficult. A recession is nothing compared to a depression. We are only at the beginning of a recession. This isn't that bad. You want to hear about bad; talk to someone that lived through the Great Depression.
Most people bitch about the economy and how they don't have any money but they still pay for cable (digital plus HD & throw in HBO, Showtime, and Cinexax), their cell phones, their internet service, buy lots of toys, etc. Get rid of the extras and you can live quite well on a lower income. Stop keeping up with the Jones'.

First of all, the wealthiest people put very little in to our economy, but they are the largest load on our infrastructure. Corporations are 'legal persons' and they use more of our infrastructure than the entire citizenry combined. They are the ones that should pay the most, but Reagan got rid of the 90% taxation rule that this country prospered under for decades, and that's when the middle class started getting squeezed. Until we roll back the Reagan tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and 'legal persons' we will continue down this path.
"Buy low - sell high" is the mantra of succesful stock investors. When the stocks are down it's time to buy. When they are up, it's time to sell. Variations on the theme such as long term holdings, etc. will differ from this basic strategy, but that is what the wealthy do. I watch it all the time. Of course, it helps them if everyone believes what you said because then stocks become more plentiful and therefore lower in price (simple economics).
I couldn't agree with you more on your last point. Way too many people have been spoiled for way too long while the rest of the world got our scraps, and the piper is coming for payment. A massive equalization (redistribution of wealth) is headed our way. There will remain the same amount of wealth worldwide as before, but now we will be losing more and more of it to the poor in outher countries, and they will grow accordingly. It's already happeneing, and people like Geo. Herbert Walker Bush touted their New World Order long ago, and now it's being carried out quite efficiently.
I've met too many unskilled workers in Michigan that make as much as I do and I'm a corporate officer. These people live very high, buying new boats every couple of years, new cars, huge televisions with all the trimmings and systems, and all kinds of other toys. Now many of them can't pay for them and they are blaming the Chinese........ They should have saved their money and invested it like I did, because I'm doing fine. Don't own a bunch of toys, but doing well. Toys don't feed the family or pay for your retirement.
It's not governments job to save us from the mess we made of our own country. After all, most of you want lower taxes (which will result in leaner government and less government support), so how can you (in the same breath) say you aren't satisfied what the government is doing? Besides, "we the people" ARE the government. It's time to quite sniveling, get off your asses, throw the tea in the harbor and take our government back.

If you give an unemployed person extra cash, the person typically spends it all. (note the word TypicallY). Albeit on rent and groceries, but spends it anyway. When the economy is in a decline, the govt. historically extends unemployment payments. I would assume the same is true with food stamps.

1. The wealthiest people in the country are the ones who start new businesses that the "middle" class work for and make money. The more businesses that are available for them to work for, the higher the demand for workers and the higher the wages become.
2. The top 10% of wage earners pay 90% of the taxes in this country. Do you think they should pay the other 10% too? Talk about wealth redistirbution, hey why not make them pay all my bills too, I can't possibly be paying my fair share, that would make too much sense.
3. The middle class hasn't been getting squeezed. The middle class is shrinking because they are becoming rich (the upper class). That's right the middle class is shrinking the lower class is about the same and the upper class is growing.
I can only conclude that you're drinking the Kool-Aid.

Welcome back followers of the Golden Griffins to this year's edition of the Campus Chronicles. I'm Chris Rumble and I will be your behind-the-scenes aficionado for the 2013-14 season. Before I get started, lets take a minute to relish in the success of last year's senior class and congratulate them on furthering their hockey dreams.
Preston Shupe – Preston enjoyed the most successful season of his entire collegiate career in 2012-13. His efforts have awarded him with not only an ECHL contract (Bakersfield Condors), but also an invite to the Oklahoma City Barons' (American Hockey League) training camp. Good luck to him as they get underway this week!
Ben Parker – Ben also enjoyed his most impressive season. He tripled his point total from the year before (3-9–12) and was the backbone to our penalty kill. With that, Ben was offered a few different professional contracts. He chose to stay and complete his degree before making a decision this summer. Ben has signed an ECHL contract with the Alaska Aces.
Our other two seniors, Torrey Lindsay and Chris Barrea, have chosen to pursue their professional careers in the workplace. Torrey has a very high-up role running hockey camps in his hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba. He has been doing that for several years now and will have a chance to take that to the next level during this hockey season. Chris Barrea is staying local and continuing his advancement in the company "1-800-Got-Junk." He was offered a higher position throughout the summer months and is now working as a shift-manager.
We wish all of the now alumni the best of luck as they further their professional careers on and off the ice.
Coming off of a championship season, we have all been very excited to get back into town and get things rolling. Everyone held themselves accountable this summer and came back in, what is rumored to be, the best shape the team has collectively ever been in. The fitness testing was a great way to see how much each guy really cared about the upcoming season.
We are now six weeks into classes and everyone's schedule has finally started to settle down as we become more comfortable in our new settings. Everyone except Duncan McKellar, that is. Because of scheduling conflicts with his major, Duncs had to take three online classes this semester. So he's had to adjust to being more of a home-schooled student. We miss seeing him around campus. The four new freshmen have taken very little time to adapt to the college lifestyle. They are fitting in well and making plenty of friends along the way.
In preparation for the season, which starts in roughly two weeks, the Griffs have been hitting the ice hard, readying themselves for a season opener against rival Niagara (Oct. 12). Everyone is pumped. The strenuous workouts, the rigorous practices, the in-depth video meetings, and the three months of grueling summer training will all be worth it when the puck finally drops.
Thanks for your support and thanks for reading!
Keep your stick on the ice,
Chris Rumble
This week marks the last set of each day before our season officially gets underway. The annual exhibition game against a Canadian University is something the team always looks forward to - it really puts a cap on the preseason. There's something refreshing about finally getting to play against a team that isn't comprised of your own friends. Expect some big hits.
One of the things the Griffs have been focusing on lately is team building. As with every year, a new group of guys results in a new team dynamic. The activities we've been arranging help everyone get to see different sides of their new teammates. This week we spent a few hours bowling. Our captain, Ryan Bohrer, split us up into carefully organized teams. Each group of 4 was required to come up with a 'theme.' As usual, Team Toronto (Ralph Cuddemi, Jack Hidi, Tony Capobianco and Taylor Law) sported their usual Blue Jays hats. However, the best outfit of the day went to Capo, who took the next step by completing his outfit with a league-issued baseball glove & ball. But just like the Blue Jays, his team didn't fare well.
As far as form goes, Kyle Gibbons and Brandon Russo were easily the only two who looked like they knew what they were doing. Those guys can really spin the ball.
But in the end it's all about who gets the job done. This time it was Team Coast (Duncan McKellar, Adam Harris, Chris Rumble and Logan Roe) who fired the highest combined score of the day [565]. Some say it was the flexibility in the arms from wearing tank tops, others say it was sheer athleticism. We think it was the bumpers.
Less than a handful of practices remain until we get to hear the new warm-up mix that DJ-RalphCuddemi93 is preparing for us. It will be worth a listen.
That's another week in the books for us here at Canisius College. Thanks for reading! We hope to see everyone at the exhibition game on Sunday, October 4 at 4 p.m. at the Buffalo State Ice Arena. Your continued support means everything to the program.
For now, keep your stick on the ice,
Chris Rumble

CHAPEL HILL - Usually in the spotlight for his pregame "Jump Around" dance ritual, Leslie McDonald showcased a new set of moves on the court Saturday night as the redshirt junior started his first career game as a Tar Heel.
McDonald posted 24 points and four assists against UAB, setting new career highs in both categories. This was his second record-breaking game of the season, as the guard previously posted 21 points against Mississippi State.
For McDonald, who earned 18 of his points and four assists in the second half, his successful night should be attributed to the offense's give and take.
"I knew second half I had to turn it on a little bit, defensively and offensively...being a little bit aggressive and just getting my teammates open," said McDonald. "The thing about it is, once you work to get your teammates open, your teammates try to get you open."
Dexter Strickland, standing in for the injured point guard Marcus Paige, recognized this trend as well. Having played with McDonald for over three years now, Strickland has a good sense of when to feed his teammate.
"All I have to do is pass (McDonald) the ball," Strickland said. "That's the easiest job on the floor. Me being with Leslie, knowing where he likes to shoot...it was important for me to get to that spot and make sure he's in his comfort zone to knock down shots."
Fighting back from a torn ACL all last season, McDonald refuses to take his position this year for granted. The guard looks at his injury as a blessing in disguise for it pushed him to get back to full strength and then some.
Continuously working with assistant coach Hubert Davis to improve his shot in practice, McDonald intends to become a consistent offensive force for the Tar Heels. Fellow guard Reggie Bullock saw this work pay off for his teammate against UAB.
According to Bullock, when McDonald's shots are falling, Carolina's offense flows more fluidly. The Kinston native noted that if McDonald finds his rhythm, it spreads defenders, creating more consistent scoring options for the team.
"No team can really guard two shooters because if you help somewhere on either wing, there's an open shooter that's going to get a shot," said Bullock. "So I feel like (McDonald) definitely helped spread the floor for us tonight and played well for us."
Bullock was not the only one impressed with McDonald and the rest of Carolina's offense Saturday night. Jerod Haase, current head coach at UAB and former UNC assistant coach, couldn't help but light-heartedly comment on the Tar Heels' shooting prowess.
"I told those guys afterwards I thought they liked me better than that," Haase said. "They shot the heck out of the basketball."
McDonald looks forward to the next opportunity to top his records, but in the meantime, the guard is prepared to give whatever the team needs from him.
"If I have to play long minutes, I'll play long minutes," said McDonald. "If I have to play spot minutes, I can play spot minutes. I'm going to play the same way I've been playing for years, and that's playing like Leslie McDonald."

"This was a great invitation for my daughter's Under the Sea/Bubble Guppies birthday party. I received many compliments from our guests. I would definitely recommend upgrading and getting the gold envelopes. They added a little glamour to the invitations."
"Love this invitation! I was looking for a princess themed product for my daughter's third birthday party. Beautiful thick paper. I liked that this one had a good bit of room for my text. I bought the extra scalloped edges and love how it turned out. I have received several complements. Quick shipping."
"We used a black and white photo for our granddaughter's 1st birthday announcements and they looked amazing! The colors are so soft and feminine."
"This invite is super sweet for a little girl. The colors are right on and the fact you can put pictures on the back are great. The paper quality on the normal paper is excellent, nice and thick. I got the scalloped edges which give it such a dainty look. I absolutely love it."
"Very Cute and Very Nice. Bought this as a sample for bday invite consideration. This was my top choice when received - Love the color, we got this with the pearlized/shimmer finish, which is especially nice with this design but is not necessary. The shimmer finish is front and back, if wondering. The design on the back is also nice and light enough to be written on in dark ink, if you are wanting to add your own message to the back for whatever reason. Overall, I love it. Ultimately, the bday girl (age 7 - going on 8) chose a different invite design."

European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
Causative agents of vCJD are prions, composed of misfolded prion proteins (PrPSc), which form aggregates in neurological tissue leading to progressive brain damage and characteristic signs and symptoms of the disease. Prions are stable and relatively resistant to proteases, high temperatures, UV radiation, and commonly used disinfectants.
Patients with vCJD have prominent psychiatric (frequently depression, anxiety and withdrawal) or sensory symptoms and delayed onset of neurologic abnormalities, including ataxia within weeks or months, and dementia and myoclonus late in the illness. The disease always progresses to death. Disease duration is 14 months on average. vCJD tends to affect younger individuals, with an average age of onset of around 28 years, compared to sporadic CJD, which tends to affect middle-aged and elderly individuals.
The definite diagnosis of vCJD requires post-mortem examination of brain tissue.
The incubation period for vCJD after food borne exposure is thought to be around 10 years. No vaccine or treatment is available.
Most reported vCJD cases appear to have been infected through the consumption of bovine meat products contaminated with the agent of BSE. In three cases, reported by the UK, the mode of transmission is thought to be through receipt of blood from an asymptomatic, infected donor. Read more

Updating The House on the (Mona Lisa) Hill
Original post made by Susan West, another community, on Jan 8, 2008
Dear Alamo neighbors,
As towns named Alamo and Poplar throughout North America e-chained their thoughts on Indian Gaming, Propositions 94, 95, 96 and 97, in California, a humorous review of "What's up with the HOUSE on the Hill" continued the theme of Great Chief Freshly Plowed Black Earth (*1) Casino and House of Prostitution. As many neighbors in all Alamo and Poplar communities read The Danville Weekly, they can quickly imagine the HOUSE as a casino. They laughed at our Gubernator Arnold's attempts to bring Las Vegas in or near our cities and all the environmental impact of such development.
I would hope that all would look up on Mona Lisa Hill and wonder why we would want even larger boxes with crowds of gamblers and more visiting our communities. It is a home now, but consider the possibilities.
Californians, consider gaming's impact carefully,
Susan West

Come on, a fool and his money are soon parted, and gaming offers Californians some budget relief paid for by such fools. Why should Nevada get all of California's money?
The propositions impact Southern California and I have to ask, "Do we really care about anything south of the Santa Barbara wine country?"
Take the money!
As for the HOUSE on the Hill? Contra Costa County will never run out of stucco, so get over it!

Thank you, Frank, for your rich humor.
The issues of the gaming proposals to Californians are not restricted to Southern California. The propositions are models for a sequence of gaming issues that, at their core, are economic and environmental issues. The economics is a MAJOR lobby in our State for gaming and entertainment will bridge into communities and neighborhoods. The environmental issues are the models they set for other industries to avoid conforming to our future well-being. Beyond any global warming issues are land use for various purposes that do not comply with our current codes.
Please study and decide,

Andre Santos says it is essential that Arsenal share the responsibility for goals this season.
A solid start to the season has already seen no fewer than 10 members of the first-team squad find the net in all competitions.
"It is very important that a team has goals from different players," Santos told Arsenal Player.
"Sometimes to depend on only one player is very difficult and puts a lot of pressure on him, so it's important to have the collective responsibility, which we have here at Arsenal.
"It's important that the team relies on every player to help in every aspect, to mark, to create chances and even to score goals.
"The Champions League is a tough competition and we have to share these responsibilities, and that's what we're doing at Arsenal."
Forwards Gervinho and Lukas Podolski have been in fine form of late, contributing five and four goals respectively - and Santos has been impressed with their impact.
"Lukas Podolski and Gervinho are both playing very well at the moment," Santos said. "Gervinho is playing in a different position and that allows him to have freedom and score lots of goals.
"But not only Podolski and Gervinho are doing well - the defenders are looking very strong too.
"We have the choice [of] Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Koscielny and Djourou in the middle and we also have Cazorla with the great abilities he has brought to the team.
"We have a strong squad both going forward and in defence and we're all excited about this season."
Arsenal's positive start extends to the Champions League group and Santos is confident his team can compete for the trophy this season.
"The earlier we qualify in the group stage, the better - and this will boost our confidence for the knockout stages," he said.
"We are in a very strong position with the good start, but we are not qualified yet. We have to play a very strong team in Schalke twice yet, so we have to keep focused.
"But if we play to our potential, we are confident we can challenge for the trophy this year."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Greg T
|What is the final reaer ratio and tire diameter? It makes a huge difference.
There is the option of buying an MSD distributor then forking out for custom bushings ($33), but that's a lot of money.
So I played with the truck a little this weekend and to my suprise it does start with 23* initial(no comments needed here). I unplugged the vacuum advance and its all in at 36*. Now come the questions.
Are my only options for limiting my mechanical to braze or stick something in the hole on/next to the center plate? Is there anything I can purchase for my HEI that would limit/ allow my to have only 10-12* mechanical?
Is it normal for my timing to bounce around slightly when check it with the light?
I didnt get to drive it without the vacuum advance plugged in to see if it shutters/bucks/bogs but will sometime this week. Just for reference when I built the motor I used a piston stop to find 0 on the dampner and have timing tape on it so its accurate. Thanks to everyone that posted on here. I will be back when I have more info.
|Greg T
This is all good info, but none of it is relevant until the timing set up properly for this cam. Thumprs are very difficult to set up for the street and if you don't have the proper initial timing and short curve it will never run right. If the timing too far retarded at idle, the throttle plates will need to be opened more to allow it to idle. This causes a tuning problem if the carb is not utilizing the idle circuit because of the throttle blades being opened too far. The timing MUST be set correctly before the carb is tuned or this set up will never run.
On the Edelbrock 1406
- The idle circuit is mostly independent of the rest of the carb, so if its pig rich at idle you have an idle mixture problem to solve. It may not affect the rest of the carb very much.
- When you get stutter with an Edelbrock under light to moderate acceleration its usually due to step-up springs that are too low (e.g. 5"). The low rate springs delay the transition from cruise to power until 5" of vaccum and the accelerator pump does not provide a long enough shot to fill the transition gap. The carb goes lean and stutters until the vacuum drops enough to allow transition to power mode. Switching to a 6", 7" or 8" spring will let it transition to power sooner as the vacuum drops.
- If you are getting a surge at steady cruise it usually means the cruise step on the rods is too lean. You should be able to use a rod that is 1-2 steps richer in cruise and the same in power.
The Edelbrock carb tuning book provides a lot of good information, but does not emphasize enough that it will work much better if you do certain steps in order.
- Fix the idle mixture first - if you can't fix the idle there may be a flaw with the carburetor.
- Use step-up springs to fix part throttle problems before you start switching rods.
- Don't try to use only the accerator pump shot to fix part throttle transitions. It does not provide a long enough shot to overcome big gaps. Use step-up springs first, then accerator pump.
- Once you get the cruise mixture running right (by swapping rods), then play with other rods to get your power mode running better. You will reach a point where going richer in power has no effect.
- If possible, use an AFR meter to check the mixture while running. Sometimes its hard to "feel" lean vs. rich and you may be trying to fix the wrong problem.
Sets of rods are relatively expensive if you play with many different combinations and you buy one or two rod sets at a time. You probably have to buy them online, and $7/set + shipping can be painful if you buy one set at a time. I bought the Edelbrock tuning kit for the 1406, but it did not have very many combinations on the rich side. You may want to look at the 1405 tuning kit, considering your cam.
|Try a little self help, use the search function for one, this site has an awesome database.
|you may have a problem with the ignition if it shutters and shakes at cruise. You said the carb is pig rich at idle. It sounds like the carb is pulling through the idle circuit. If you turn the idle mixture screws all the way in the motor should shake or turn off. If not the motor is getting gas from somewhere else - improiper adjustment on carb. If it was a holley style I would say the secondary throttle plate is adjusted wrong, too far open revealing too much of the transfer slot. With edelbrock carbs you have toi get the right combo of metering rods and springs. If this does not work then you must change jets and start the fine ruining with the metering rods and springs again. Good luck
|Greg T
|No, initial is with no vac. If it's bucking against the starter at 16* you have a problem. Either you're not at 16* or you have an electrical problem. Verify TDC on the damper by using a piston stop to be sure the damper is good and the timing tab is correct.
|The truck bucks the starter warm at 16 initial. Is the 22 including vacuum. I am guessing not since u said to run ported. Worth a shot. Thanks for the info.
Use a vacuum advance limited to 10-12 degrees, use ported vacuum. Add vacuum advance if the engine likes it.
Be sure the timing marks for TDC are accurate.
|keep the info coming people. The Rhoads lifter choice was for my father. He had them in his old camaro and he asked me to put them in my setup. I agree that it hurts my build and have thought about replacing them. I will try your timing suggestion Greg T. As far as issues. The truck runs and drives, its just has a shutter/shake in cruise mode. I have eliminated the possibility of trans due to enriching the fuel intake but then it over fuels at idle. I could tell you tons of details on where I have been with this and what makes me think its timing and carb but I'm sure noone really wants that. So my main issues is either over fueling to the point of gas in oil and/or I have a shutter/shake in cruise mode. Still would like to hear more timing suggestions.
|Greg T
Well, I know you said you didn't want to hear it, but I'm never one to keep my mouth shut so here it goes.
For the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would buy a Thumpr cam with it's wicked sounding idle and so-so performance, and then soften it up with a set of crappy Rhodes lifters. The ONLY reason to buy a Thumpr is for the sound because there sure are a lot more cams out there with higher performance for less money. So buying a Thumping idle and then taming it with leaky crap lifters is, at best, asinine. Rhodes lifters will cost you big on top and take away a lot of the choppy idle you just paid big money for.
If you're hell bent on making it work, then limit your mechanical advance to about 10*, use 25 or 26* at idle and have it all in by 2500 rpm. MAYBE, then, you'll get the carb to run.
There, I just said what everyone else was thinking.
|Also careful with the cam break in as that is a flat tappet cam. Follow the break in procedures or you can wipe the lobes on the cam.
|What is the carb or car doing? Does the engine stall, run rich, bog. Let us know what it is doing so we can give you some reasonable feedback. The (new) carb should run right out of the box. Of course it should need a little fine tuning. The carb may be a bit small for your combination. I would think a 650 would be a better fit. Edelbrock carb run well and are easy to work on. However. most folks that know how to tune a carb are more familiar with holley style carbs. Usually people using an Edelbrock carb put it on adjsut the idle mixture and never touch it again. They are good reliable street carbs.

The Boba Fett ESB Promotional costumes are several costumes that are often referred to as Sandy costumes or tour costumes.
In addition to the costumes created to be seen on screen, three of the Boba Fett costumes were finished by Sandy Dhuyvetter's Daydream Productions and primary used for a series of tours throughout the US, Canada and the UK to promote the Empire Strikes Back. These costumes are a bit of a mish-mash of parts with armor plates and helmets being randomly combined from other costumes and between each other. These costumes are primarily defined by their chest armor which are designated 'promotional armor' 1-3.
These photos depict Promotional Armor 1 which is often accompanied by the Return of the Jedi Boba Fett Helmet.

F&N Rises to Record After OUE Group Bid Escalates Bidding
Fraser & Neave Ltd. rose to a record in Singapore trading after a S$13.1 billion ($10.7 billion) offer from a group led by Overseas Union Enterprise Ltd. (OUE) escalated the bidding war for the 129-year-old property and beverages conglomerate.
F&N shares traded as high as S$9.36 today, set for its highest close. The OUE group yesterday offered S$9.08 a share, topping a S$8.88 bid from Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, Thailand's richest man.
"I'd expect a better offer from Charoen," said Justin Harper, a strategist at IG Markets in Singapore. "If OUE came in with S$9.50 a share or somewhere near S$10 a share, it might have warded Charoen out of the game. Charoen still has room to maneuver to increase his bid above OUE at the moment."
Charoen has sought control of F&N since July when he agreed to buy a stake in the drinks and property company, touching off a race to buy its assets. OUE has enlisted Kirin Holdings Co. (2503), Japan's largest drinks maker and F&N's second-largest shareholder, in its bid. OUE would get the company's property business and Kirin would take the food and beverage unit.
"This is the first salvo from OUE, just to test how the other party will respond," said Lim Jit Soon, Singapore-based analyst at Nomura Holdings Inc. "I expect like any other takeovers, this will lead to offers and counter offers."
F&N rose 2.3 percent to S$9.34 at 2:57 p.m. in Singapore. OUE, a Singapore-based property company, climbed 3.9 percent to S$2.64.
Heineken NV (HEIA) won control of F&N's beer unit in a deal that closed yesterday. The OUE offer is being made by a unit of Arbon Holdings Ltd., a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and 50 percent-owned by OUE.
The remaining 50 percent of Arbon is held by certain investment funds and accounts managed by Farallon Capital Management LLC and Noonday Global Management Ltd., alongside other investors.
Kirin Agreement
Kirin, which has a 14.8 percent stake in F&N, has agreed to tender its shares and won't accept any competing bid, OUE said. The Japanese company is "aware of the announcement," spokesman Kan Yamamoto said, declining to comment further.
The Japanese brewer, Asia's biggest beverage maker, will offer S$2.7 billion, for F&N's food and beverage business, according to OUE's statement. Its stock dropped as much as 4.7 percent in Tokyo trading today.
"Investors are now worried," Naoki Fujiwara, chief fund manager at Shinkin Asset Management Co. in Tokyo, said by telephone today, referring to Kirin's role. "They're concerned whether it will turn out to be expensive shopping without rewards."
Break-up Fee
F&N said it had commited to pay the OUE consortium a break- up fee of as much as S$50 million if a competing offer is successful. F&N said it agreed to the fee to "create a competitive bid situation, thereby maximizing value for shareholders." The fee shouldn't be seen as a recommendation by the board, it said.
"The idea of the break-up fee is to entice an interested buyer to step in," said Professor Ang Ser Keng, senior lecturer of finance at the Singapore Management University. "By announcing this fee, it implicitly signals that F&N has a preferred bidder."
Charoen has failed to win support from F&N's board for his existing bid. An independent adviser has found Charoen's offer "not compelling, though fair," F&N's board has said in a letter to shareholders. Charoen's bid of S$8.88 a share is at the low end of the adviser's estimates that value the company at S$8.30 to S$11.22 a share, the board said. F&N directors who hold shares don't intend to accept the billionaire's offer, the board said.
Two Tycoons
Charoen's unlisted business, TCC Group, has a real estate unit. His Thai Beverage (THBEV) Pcl, which sells the Chang brand of beer, gets almost all its revenue from its home market.
"We just heard about OUE's bid late last night," Vichate Tantiwanich, a spokesman for Thai Beverage, said. "We have no comment at the current time."
Charoen's net worth as of Nov. 15 was $8.6 billion, according to data compiled and calculated through the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
OUE Executive Chairman Stephen Riady is a son of Mochtar Riady, who controls Indonesia's Lippo Group that has businesses ranging from real estate, financial services to food across Asia. The bid would be the biggest ever acquisition of a Singapore-based company, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
OUE, which gets about 65 percent of its revenue from hotel operations, is planning at least one investment a year in Singapore to boost property holdings that include office towers, luxury apartments and malls, Stephen Riady said in an interview in August.
Credit Suisse, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and CIMB Bank Bhd. are acting as financial advisers to the OUE group.

Rabbi Saperstein: "We gather to affirm the Jewish community's determination to work on disability issues and to stand with the entire disability rights community to achieve our legislative priorities." William Daroff: "People living with disabilities contribute significantly not only to the Jewish community, but to American society as a whole."
Contact: Eric Harris or Deborah Swerdlow
202.387.2800 | firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., February 16, 2011 -- Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, and William Daroff, Vice President for Public Policy and Director of the Washington Office of The Jewish Federations of North America, hosted Congressional staff and Jewish disability advocates yesterday at a briefing in recognition of the third annual Jewish Disability Awareness Month. The briefing, titled "Nothing About Us Without Us: The Disability Community's Legislative Priorities in the 112th Congress," highlighted the issues of importance to the disability community and the work of Jewish organizations providing for the needs and promoting the strengths of people with disabilities.
Rabbi Saperstein delivered the opening remarks, followed by Mr. Daroff and a panel presentation from Curt Decker, Executive Director of the National Disability Rights Network; Eve Hill, Senior Vice President of the Burton Blatt Institute; and Ari Ne'eman, President of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. They were joined by U.S. State Department Special Advisor on International Disability Rights Judy Heumann, Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Representative Rush Holt (D-NJ), Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) and senior staff for Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) also spoke.
Excerpts from Rabbi David Saperstein's and William Daroff's prepared remarks appear below:
Rabbi Saperstein: We read in Genesis, Chapter 1, verses 26 and 27, that everyone, man and woman, is created in God's image. From these lines, we learn a fundamental principle of our tradition: that everyone deserves to be treated with the same dignity and respect. That includes all people -- abled and differently abled.
Jewish tradition also teaches us of our obligation to ensure equal access for all people and to help facilitate the full participation of individuals with disabilities in religious and public life. We are taught in Pirke Avot, Ethics of our Fathers, "Do not separate yourself from the community." The converse is equally compelling: We must prevent anyone from being separated against his or her will. Such separation occurs all too frequently, whether it is the child separated from his peers in a classroom, the professional separated from her colleagues after being denied a promotion, or the grown adult cut off from the rest of the community because the only place to receive affordable long-term services is in a hospital, nursing home or other institution.
We are gathered today to say this can, this must, this will change. We gather to affirm the Jewish community's determination to work on disability issues and to stand with the entire disability rights community to achieve our legislative priorities. We gather to say to America: We are all part of one community.
William Daroff: "People living with disabilities contribute significantly not only to the Jewish community, but to American society as a whole. This month serves as an opportunity to help shine a light on their gifts and raise awareness about what support the disabled need to succeed. We must let people with disabilities know how much we value them, not just this month, but all year. It must be a commitment we prioritize in our community as we take real steps to listen to and engage these inspiring individuals."

Masonic lodge is not a cult. They provide medical help for burn and cripple children at no cost. Hundreds of doctors donate their time and skills. It is a fraternal organization that raises millions to help children.
It is today a fraternal organization. The line in the constitution was referring to our elected officials using US office titles that described them as other than elected officials. There was a lot of discussion as to what to call George Washington and these titles were considered but he said to just call him mister president. You are really grasping at straws on this one and as I said it is just goofy. Obama would be much more likely to take the title of king. Why not stick to actual issues. This is even worse that the Obama birth certificate issue.
It is not a title give by the US government nor a king or foreign power but by the Catholic church just goofy.

Arsène Wenger insists his team does not have a "soft centre" and believes that their performance at Stamford Bridge proved it.
Arsenal lost that London derby a fortnight ago and Wenger admitted after the match that his players needed to be more ruthless in front of goal after watching them squander a string of chances.
But while the Frenchman has called for more cutting edge, he does not agree with former Gunner Peter Storey's claim that Arsenal are weak in midfield.
"I have heard that many times," responded Wenger at his pre-match press conference.
"I think it is not a big praise of our midfielders. I did not have that feeling at all at Chelsea for example that we were dominated in midfield, so I am convinced that we have matured and we can show that by letting other people talk and we play our game.
"The regret we have at Chelsea is that it was still possible for us to make a result with all those [injured] players out," added Wenger. "That can give us belief and make us think we have a bright future.
"You know you want to win your games but in the Premier League you do not get away with 95 per cent focus. You have to be at your best or you don't win your games."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

TWINSBURG -- Loved ones and hometown heroes, those peace officers lost in the line of duty from across the country, will once again be honored and commemorated through hand-made ornaments crafted by the community at Twinsburg Public Library.
At any time during the library's hours of operation, citizens and families are invited to make an ornament with the name of a police officer, firefighter or police dog who died in 2012. The names are gathered through the Ohio Officer Down Memorial Page.
Ornaments will be displayed on a 12 feet-tall tree in the library's children's room
Twinsburg Public Library youth services manager Katie Johnson, who has been overseeing the ornament program for several years, said the crafting began Dec. 3 and will continue until Christmas or enough ornaments have been made to cover the tree. Kindergarten students from Wilcox Primary School and other classes from Dodge Elementary have contributed to the project.
"We [honor] police officers and firefighters from around the country," Johnson said. "This year is the first year we're actually including the K-9 dogs that died too. We have an ornament packaging day after Christmas, where we give [people] envelopes and mail [the ornaments] out to all the families."
Johnson said the ornament project was inspired by the generosity shown to Holly Miktarian after her husband, Officer Joshua Miktarian of the Twinsburg Police Department, was killed on duty in July 2008. Miktarian received an ornament honoring her husband during Christmas 2009.
"Their whole point was to say that they hadn't forgotten my officer who died in the line of duty," Miktarian said. "They didn't forget him over the holiday season and I just thought that was great."
"I think she got (an ornament) the year after Josh died ... and it was so touching for her that she wanted to do something every year for other families," Johnson said of Miktarian. "Twinsburg tends to be a really close-knit community. People will never forget what happened ... I think that by bringing children in and explaining a little bit about what's happening, I think it's pretty meaningful to people. So they always seem to really embrace the project."
Miktarian has helped Johnson coordinate the project since its inception and said both the library staff and the community have been very supportive of her.
The design of the ornaments changes each year, with the 2012 configuration a felt peace dove. Miktarian said this year's theme was chosen to promote peace across the country.
"Every year, I want the amount of ornaments to be less and less," Miktarian said Dec. 7. "I've always seen the symbol of a peace dove as something that could help promote less violence and death. Even if we don't ever reach that goal of never having to make any ornaments, maybe the families will feel like I felt.
"It was just so kind for someone to do that and to remember my husband during the holiday season and I want other families to know that we remember their loved ones as well."

Hello, everyone!
I just wanted to ask how everyone goes about shipping a full TK suit within the US. I need to ship one but I honestly don't know if it's best to put all in one huge box or just split it up into different priority mail boxes or what's best. The suit has already been put together and not in raw, untrimmed form. I know I can stack the armor inside itself with certain pieces but even then, I'll need a fairly big box and that's what I'm concerned about. What's the cheapest (but still safe) way to ship this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
- Jon

Which do you guys like best?
1) girth completely over the cod with only the bottom showing, most common placement I have seen.
2) girth sitting on top over the cod with the cod fully exposed... this placement is also in some Jabba's palace publicity shots.
I'm leaning towards #2.. but I would like to know what one you guys like or going to use.

Lost dog comes home after nine months
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A rescued dog was back home Friday with the help of Craigslist, an observant Humane Society worker and the dog's persistent owners.
Owner Ariel Jensen said the last nine months weren't easy.
'We were devastated that he was gone, so sad, not knowing if he was in the wilderness somewhere and it was raining so much," said Ariel.
Her family's Pomeranian BonZ ran away during a thunderstorm last April. BonZ spent his first five years in a puppy mill and has been scared of loud noises since. During the storm he squeezed under a hole in their back yard fence.
Jensen took to the Internet and the streets in her search for BonZ. She posted ads on Craigslist and shared his photo on Lost Dog websites. She posted flyers around the neighborhood. Her family even used a website that made automated phone calls to homes within 15 miles of their neighborhood alerting people about BonZ.
"It was so frustrating. My mom and I would just take turns, one day she would be crying about it, the next day I would cry about it," said Jensen.
Jensen said the National Dog Mill Rescue played an integral role in BonZ's return by providing money and resources for the search effort.
Jensen and her family finally got the news they waited nearly nine months to hear on Monday. Someone turned the stray in at the Pikes Peak Humane Society.
A worker at the Humane Society recognized BonZ from Jensen's Craigslist posting, called the owners and BonZ came home that day.
Tamara Egley is the lost and found coordinator for the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region. She and her team united almost 4,000 pets with their owners in 2012.
"It reinforces why we are here," said Egley of Jensen's tearful reunion with BonZ.
She said that number could be even higher but people don't take the necessary steps when their pets are lost.
"It's so important for people to come in here immediately, start looking for their pet, and put in those lost reports," said Egley.
Jensen and her mom followed those steps but the problem was, there were unconfirmed reports that someone was hanging on to BonZ.
Jensen said she was resentful for a long time. Now, she is glad to have BonZ home.
"I just never thought I could like a dog so much," said Jensen.
She drove home from college in Wyoming for the weekend to spend time with her dog. She said it wouldn't be leaving her side, except for a much needed hair cut.
