Mathieu Flamini – Arsenal's Dark Destroyer
TOPICS:Arsenal FCExclusivesJon Spurling
If Arsenal are to continue their impressive early season progress, there's plenty of dirty work to be done in midfield, and free transfer signing Mathieu Flamini seems set to be the man to do it. When he resigned for Arsenal in the summer, having been made a free agent by AC Milan at the tail end of last season, there was almost a sense of despair amongst Arsenal supporters. That serial Tweeter Piers Morgan – aghast at Flamini's return – informed Gary Lineker via the social network: "I'd rather sign you." Tabloids and broadsheets scoffed. Was this it? Was this really the way in which Arsene Wenger planned to inject more bite into the midfield; by bringing back the player who'd walked out on the club so controversially 5 years earlier?
Arsenal supporters' initial suspicions were understandable. In the early months of 2008, with the Gunners sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League, the team seemed set to stride on and claim the ultimate prize, four years after the Invincibles had strutted their stuff. The horrific injury to Eduardo in the away game against Birmingham City clearly destabilised the team, just as the Croatian and Emmanuel Adebayor seemed set to form a devastating partnership. But possibly even worse were the events surrounding Arsenal's momentous away match against AC Milan, which saw the Gunners knock out the reigning European Champions 2-0 on aggregate. In what should have been a joyful week for the Gunners, in form winger Alexander Hleb slipped out of the team hotel, to "have an ice cream" with his advisor. It later came to light that Hleb had actually made contact with representatives from Barcelona, prior to his summer departure to the Nou Camp. Worse, Flamini, who'd formed an excellent midfield partnership with Cesc Fabregas refused to discuss signing a new contract, allowing it to wind down. Distracted and distraught about Eduardo's injury and rumours circulating about likely departures, the wheels came off Arsenal's title challenge.
Flamini himself didn't play after April, having sustained an injury against Liverpool in the Champions League Quarter Final, and the team missed his dogged approach in midfield. Yet having joined the club 4 years earlier, the 2007 – 2008 campaign was the first in which the Frenchman had really come to the fore. Previously he'd been regarded as a utility player, who was by no means guaranteed a regular starting slot. Now, without him, Wenger's side realised just how much they missed the scruffy, often unshaven midfield scrapper whose constant harrying of opposing midfielders allowed his prodigiously gifted team mates to show their skill.
Another key factor which Arsenal missed after his departure was his ability to cajole his team mates, and bark orders at them. In recent seasons, the team was subdued, and often appeared to struggle to communicate. There was little or no sense of leadership, with no one able to grab the game by the scruff of the neck when things went awry. The minute that Flamini joined the fray as a substitute against Tottenham in late August, the issue appeared to dissipate. In that magnificent backs to the wall victory, Flamini barked orders, scampered around and gave his team mates encouragement and threw himself around with gusto to deny Tottenham's new look team any space.
Flamini has been extremely vocal in the press since his return, talking openly about "fighting for my team mates," "playing as a unit," and "sticking together as a team." Flamini embodies Arsenal's new found mojo as much as Mezut Ozil, albeit in a totally different way. In fact, it's almost as if he is the de facto captain, speaking with his heart on his sleeve in the press to any journalist who cares to listen. Arsene Wenger commented: "We have a lot of qualities, a lot of technical players and they need to be protected." Much has been made of Flamini's relish in getting stuck into the "dark work" which needs to be done on the pitch. For several seasons, the more menial tasks in midfield have been rather overlooked and ignored, but hopefully, not anymore. The importance of what Flamini does (not to mention his impressive pass completion rate) resonates with Arsenal fans who are aware of the value of defensive midfielders to the cause down the years.
Successful teams need holding players (Eric Cantona would have described them scornfully as "Water carriers") to steady the ship. In the Invincibles side, Gilberto was once described an "Invisible wall" by Arsene Wenger, and in his first Double winning team, Petit and Vieira roamed the centre of the park, aware that their primary job was to stop the opposition midfield from building offensive moves. Under George Graham, Ian Selley and Steve Morrow – never destined to be inducted into the Arsenal Hall of Fame – performed miracles the night the Gunners defeated Parma in the 1994 Cup Winners Cup Final. Under Bertie Mee, Peter Storey took the phrase "midfield enforcer" to another level with his crunching tackles on opponents. Flamini has re injected much needed bite and robustness to an area of the pitch which had long been a little toothless.
The remarkable rebirth of the 29 year old has silenced many of those who poured scorn on Wenger resigning him. As to how long his fantastic form lasts; only time will tell. His abrasive approach will earn him a suspension or two. It's also hard to predict how long his second spell at the Emirates will be, given Wenger's previous track record of discarding players who reach their 30th birthdays. But one thing is for certain. Arsene Wenger now knows that in order for an Arsenal midfield to function effectively, he needs a terrier who is willing to snap at the heels of any rival in the centre of the park.

Tutorial quote: This document started as a follow up to The Ultimate Multimedia Server Guide and how to go about keeping your server up to date and patched with the latest O/S patches and security patches. The other reason for this document was to try and create an easy to follow update guide for the not so Unix savvy users that visit my website from time to time. My first time trying to upgrade FreeBSD from sources went well but trying to understand and piece together all the other documentation was more of a daunting task than actually upgrading.
Tutorial quote: In this tutorial-style article, Michael C. Barnes outlines a strategy to avoid costly upgrades from Windows 98 to Windows XP -- in terms of both hardware and software -- by upgrading to Linux, instead. Barnes reviews the typical requirements of computers used for relatively generic purposes, and shows how to give a new lease on life to aging laptops and PCs by replacing obsolete OSes such as Windows 98 with a combination of Linux, free open source applications, and inexpensive commercial software.
Tutorial quote: Install FreeBSD 6.3 and 8 inside FreeBSD 7 using jails. Tutorial also includes video.
Tutorial quote: A step-by-step guide to installing FreeBSD 5. It assumes moderate experience with linux and leaves you with a fully updated FreeBSD system.
Tutorial quote: As a FreeBSD desktop user I occasionally feel left out when it comes to the availability of applications, particularly desktop applications or binary-only browser plugins produced by commercial closed source vendors. Sometimes a good alternative lurks in the vast FreeBSD ports collection, but not always. The version available may lag a couple of revisions behind what I need, or the port might exclude my particular architecture. Fortunately, FreeBSD can run binaries and shared libraries that have been compiled for Linux and other Unix ABIs (such as SVR4 and SCO).
In this article I will cover the steps necessary to enable and configure Linux binary compatibility on FreeBSD 6. I'll also share a couple of my own experiences with getting some well-known desktop Linux applications to run on FreeBSD 6.
Tutorial quote: This is a working document that we use to set up and maintain FreeBSD. We hope you find it useful, and that it encourages more use of FreeBSD in general. The first section of the document is a series of steps we take during initial installation to produce a useful machine, from our perspective of course. The second section lists commands related to specific applications or situations.
Tutorial quote: Setting up a LAMP server is a common task for systems administrators, and FreeBSD is one of the most reliable and stable operating systems available. You can swap out the L in LAMP with F for FreeBSD to build a fast and reliable Web server.
Tutorial quote: Cyrus IMAP is an efficient IMAP server capable of handling a large number of accounts. Its biggest drawback is getting it installed and configured. This tutorial is a step-by-step guide on how to use Cyrus with the Postfix mail transfer agent (MTA). I tested these instructions with FreeBSD 5.4.
Postfix is a replacement for sendmail, the stock MTA that comes in FreeBSD. It is easier to configure and manage than sendmail. If you depend on sendmail, you can still look at the article for the Cyrus part, but you'll need to look elsewhere for the MTA configuration.
Unless otherwise instructed, perform all operations in this tutorial as root. You will need to use the port system. If you are new to it, check Chapter 4 of the FreeBSD Handbook.


Top 10 tips to relax this Christmas!
Christmas Day is very much upon us, and with just 12 days to go, the Christmas spirit is very much in full flow. Everyone will start to feel the stress levels increase, and our lives become jam packed with Christmas shopping, seeing family, and meeting end of work deadlines. Amongst all the "busyness" we often forgetting that our bodies and minds need time to stop, unwind and relax.
Before continuing with anything after arriving home from the office, be sure to spend at least 5 minutes sitting in a quiet place to relax your mind. Close your eyes and breath deeply during this time. It will allow your mind to empty the stress of the working day.
Make the work commute fun!
Enjoy this time by yourself in the car or on the train doing something you enjoy. Why not try taking your favourite novel to work and reading through a few chapters, or perhaps listen to a few of your favourite musical numbers. You could even throw in a few Christmas classics for good measure!
If you have too many things on your mind, or are trying to juggle too many tasks, grab a pen and notepad and start to jot things down. Give yourself a quick time frame for each task, and then work through them one step at a time. There's simply no point in trying to remember 100 things at once!
Clutter around the house can quickly become overwhelming, and can often make you feel like you're out of control. Take a few minutes each day to tidy away any mess, and try to keep on top of general cleaning bit by bit.
Try to avoid bringing any work from the office to your home. Mixing your working life with the comforts of your home can quickly become stressful. If you must bring work home, try to limit yourself to just a few nights a week.
Get yourself a container or box large enough to hold your work bag or office brief case and place it next to the front door. When you get in from work, put it all in the box and don't touch it until the next working day.
The bathroom is often one room in the house with a catch or lock on the door. Run yourself a nice hot bath, lock the door and escape for at least 1 hour. It'll do wonders for your stress.
Try not to pack all your "must-do" chores into a single evening. Try doing the laundry one evening, followed by Christmas shopping the next night. Spreading the load makes it easier to handle.
Set yourself a standard "start to the evening" that you'll look forward to at the end of each day. Even if it's something as simple as a cup of tea at the dining table. At this point, you know your evening has officially begun.
Playing enjoyable fun music throughout your home, lifts both you and your families spirits! A few sing-along Christmas carols can't hurt, so be sure to re inject the Christmas spirit into your home!
With these tips, you'll find the uncountable stress of Christmas becoming easier to manage. Remember this is the season to be jolly, and Christmas is meant to be enjoyed. How are your Christmas preparations coming along? Many of us at the Healthy Hideout already have our Christmas Trees up!
At this cold time of the year, it can be very difficult to get enough Vitamin D into our bodies to help our skin look it's best. Of course, there's an abundance of perfectly acceptable creams that can transform your skin from desperation into dazzling within a few minutes.
Halloween is now over and the pumpkins are starting to look a little sad. We certainly hope that you'd kept the pumpkin seeds from the carving stage, as they are packed with pro-skin nutrients. Bland bird food for people who don't understand them, pumpkin seeds have been known to be packed with high levels of zinc. Zinc is very important for fighting infection and speeding up the skin healing process. Pumpkin seeds also contain essential fats which can help keep the skin feeling soft & supple whilst helping to reducing acne.
Cold weather can leave the skin feeling dry and "shrivelled" – keeping it covered with hats and scarfs isn't great for it either. Omega 3 fatty acids found in oily fish have been shown to contain a compound called astaxanthin which can help skin feel conditioned and supple. Find it abundant in salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring and sardines – don't overdo it though. Nutritionists believe that eating oily fish at least two to three times a week is plenty.
Drinking green tea should already be part of your everyday diet, and if it isn't we highly recommend you look into it. The health benefits from green tea are endless, helping to boost metabolism, improve skin condition and can combat heart disease. Green tea contains flavenoids, a class of antioxidant that really benefits the skin, providing protection from dangerous UV radiation and sunburn whilst helping to maintain skin structure.
Is it a fruit or a vegatable? Well, it is infact a fruit, and a pretty clever one at that. Found in pretty much everything from salads to pasta dishes and stews, it tastes great both raw and cooked. Tomatoes contain a substance called lycopene – a powerful carotenoid antioxidant found in all red fruits and vegatables which helps promote a clearer, softer skin texture. Lycopene becomes more potent when cooked, so don't be afraid to throw your tomatoes under the grill before eating!
Very well recognised as a super food that's worth picking up when you're in the supermarket, blueberries have one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants amongst fruits and vegetables. They also contain a high level of anthocyanidins which help to keep skin feeling plump and fresh. High levels of vitamin C also help toward skin healing as well as providing a huge boost for your immune system. Be sure to drop a few in your cereal tomorrow morning!
Top tips for healthy teeth!
Stick to what you know – Old wives tales are responsible for various methods that are believed to help maintain better teeth. One such method believes it's important to store toothbrushes in disinfecting liquid to ensure they are squeaky clean and ready for the next use. The truth is that this could actually damage the bristles, rendering the brush useless. Listen only to the advice of your local dentist.
Get electric! – On average, many of us tend to only brush for 46 seconds. As startling as this may sound, why not try counting the next time you brush? Electric toothbrushes have been statistically proven to remove 11% more plaque than normal toothbrushes, whilst some even have a built in 2 minute timer to ensure you brush for long enough.
Skip the gimmicks – A recent study of whitening toothpastes unfortunately found that they didn't perform any different to normal ones. Bad news for some of us! Be careful what you buy into, and be sure to maintain your intake of raw fruits and vegetables, which can help remove stains from your teeth.
Replace your brush regularly – Remember that you are using your toothbrush for a minimum of two times a day. This kind of regular use will eventually take it's toll on the bristles causing the brush to not clean as well. Dentists recommend that we change our toothbrush at least every 3 months. This will ensure that optimum cleaning performance is maintained.
Rinse when finished – With both manual toothbrushes and electric types, it important to rinse your brush thoroughly before storing upright. This will ensure that any bugs or bacteria on the brush itself are removed, keeping the risk of disease or infection to a minimum.


Step 1 is to download Entrance Community edition from our web site: http://dbentrance.com/. You need JRE 1.6 or better and access to a MySQL server to run it. Simply unzip the download and start the program with "java -jar entrance.jar".
The SELECT part of the command can be almost any MySQL SELECT statement. (e.g. unfortunately you can't change delimiters yet).
Once you have entered a palette you can copy and paste it as text to other scripts. Be careful not to put any spaces in the rgb() values or Entrance will complain, and be careful that the chart series you list in the "plot part" match up 1-to-1 with columns in the "select part".
Now you can do things like adding titles, legends, gridlines and so on using the syntax described here: http://dbentrance.com/newdocs/plotsyntax.html. There are also examples in the Entrance blog.
