Wenger: A good side outplayed us
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger stood by his players at the end and praised Bradford for their spectacular effort following the defeat in the Capital One Cup.
The League Two Bantams were three minutes away from a normal-time win at Valley Parade, with Thomas Vermaelen`s equaliser cancelling out Garry Thompson`s early opener.
But City were not thrown off course and hung on for a penalty shoot-out which they duly won 3-2 - their ninth successive shoot-out win.
Wenger's decision to play many first team players was a sign that he was determined to end the seven-and-a-half year trophy drought they currently going through.
Despite the loss, Wenger believes that he side did not underperform and gave credit to the Bradford side.
"Congratulations to Bradford, they had a good start and after that they defended well," he said.
"Overall we had many chances. The keeper had a great game and we couldn`t convert our chances."
When probed on the magnitude of the Gunners losing to a League Two side, Wenger added: "When you go out it`s never good enough at Arsenal."
When asked if it was a humiliating loss, he said: "I think we lost on penalties to a team who defended well.
"I cannot fault the effort we gave for 120 minutes. You have to give credit to Bradford on the night. That`s part of the game.
"It`s not a lack of quality. We couldn`t convert our chances for different reasons. Overall it was a real cup game."
He concluded by saying: "We will get over that. It`s part of our club, it`s what we do.
Bradford manager Phil Parkinson hopes his club are on the way back after they stunned Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup.
It is a decade since Bradford were in the Premier League but now, with a semi-final place secured, Parkinson hopes they are on their way back to the top.
"The lads were terrific, the commitment was first class and considering we were three minutes away.... People will talk about penalties but our overall performance was outstanding," he told Sky Sports 1.
"Arsenal have got world class players and played their strongest team, but you have to give the players so much credit.
"I hope this can be the first of many nights like this for Bradford City. We want to put Bradford on the map again. I want them to have a team to be proud of."
Midfielder Gary Jones, a scorer in the shoot-out, called it "one of the best nights of my life" before adding: "We`ve just knocked Arsenal out of the Capital One Cup. It was 11 v 11 and we had to keep our shape and frustrate them."
Goalkeeper Matt Duke saved a penalty from Santi Cazorla and said: "We set our stall out and the men in front of me were fantastic. We are really fit as a team and that showed."

I've been playing this game for years now. You'd think I would learn that this always happens, that I shouldn't even bother playing for the first three weeks, but I don't. I have to be a nerd and log the minute it goes live and wait in the sky for the darn invisible blimp to show.
Now, I do have to hand it to Blizz. With the exception of that weird glitchy start last night, the game runs super good/smooth/non-laggy for an expansion launch. :) And as for my wait time. Been here 40 mins. I'm at 617. Not even going to pay attention to the estimated time as that is BS. >_> It changes from 10-80 minutes every so often.
Edited by Aignéis on 9/25/2012 7:00 PM PDT
The wait time is now + 61 minutes.
I've been Q for like 2 hours -_-
Third trip into the que, got on instantly earlier and went afk for a drink (not aware of the que), then afk again to cook dinner. Good times
EDIT: On a second note, I hate cooking lamb chops, there's barely any meat on the bone, horrible compromise to be forced into the que line.
Edited by Mércénáryz on 9/25/2012 8:10 PM PDT
i had a FFFFUUUU moment, 1hr on queue and almost there with number 104 and then internet connection lost..... your new number is 1768......
This is a signal, no play for you on launch day... |
I honestly don't' plan on staying here between the que times and the fact it takes 2 hours to do one quest because of how many people are also doing them.
Been on A52 for about 4 years now, and just now got a que. Currently 299 with 7min wait time.
I've heard Illidan and KT and Tich have 2-3hour ques. =/ |
i had an hr wait lastnight and again today can we plz get a free char migration to a lower server plzzzzzzzzzzz.
I've been on Area 52 since its creation back when burning crusade came out. We've had a queue almost every expansion. Nothing new. Doesn't mean it isn't old as crap now. Seriously why do they over fill servers? Its not like they don't have the money to create more servers. Server caps should be put in....sooooo annoying to wait. I waited all damn day to play now I have to wait some more. I know QQ right? *pouts*
Oh FFS people... you should expect this. That's why you get your login queue going BEFORE you want to play. So when you get home from work... login and while you're waiting... get your swampbutt washed off, stomach fed, and clean up around the house.
Or just sit there watching the queue as if you were watching paint dry..... while you pick at invisible bugs on your arms, twitch, and murmer to yourself during a furious rocking session that will surely test the weight limits of the chinese made plastic legs on your office depot sidewalk sale computer chair. |
This is BS 1600 people in queue...... WTF. Blizz should have locked the server long ago.
Yes, I agree. Lovely to be on a full server, raid with your guild all through Cata, and then try to play on your server when MOP comes out and have a queue that prevents you from doing it. I'm not transferring servers, my guild is on Area 52. They should have locked the server before MOP came out IMO.
Mhmm |
You, too? I put that sh#t on everything, too!
i haven't seen a q since wrath that lets you know the game is good
they should put a52 on the list of servers we can transfer from for free i like this server but if its gonna be like this all mop then im movin one way or another

It's 9:30 p.m. and after two time-outs, five tuck-ins, and a lengthy search for my youngest's blankie, I need to vent. With Isabelle, 5, and Jessica, 2, finally asleep, I present a laundry list of complaints to my husband.
The battle over toothbrushing, I tell him, is getting old. The book thrown at my head started storytime on a sour note. Plus, having our daughters share a bedroom is starting to look like one of our stupider ideas.
"Well, I guess we could send them back," Bill says, and turns to his work.
What is it with men? All I'm really looking for is a simple comment from him like, "Yes! bedtime's a drag!" and he ignores everything I've just said with a joke that makes it sound like I want to change my whole life. That's not what I meant, as any mom would certainly know. It's the old Mars-Venus problem, made worse by the demands of parenting. Because although my complaining seems useless to Bill, it's a crucial survival technique to me.
I first realized the value of venting when I joined a playgroup soon after Isabelle was born. Kvetching, in fact, was the unstated purpose of our get-togethers. Little Kieran wouldn't sleep? How horrible! Zoe was sick? Not again! Playgroup provided helpful advice -- but it was commiserating with other moms that really got me through that difficult first year.
My friends in that first playgroup instinctively understood that the only answer to some problems is to gripe about them. The hard truth is that many parenting challenges don't have solutions. Babies wake through the night, kids get sick a lot, and toddler diarrhea can last for weeks.
But sharing the pain with someone who gets it makes it all easier. Listening to Sara, Jen, and Barbara groan, I thought: Maybe it isn't just me! Though I left playgroup as sleep-deprived as when I arrived, I always felt better.
Bill understands the immutable nature of many parenting challenges. But once a situation proves unfixable, he prefers to move on. It's a rational approach, of course. He's heard it all before, so why dwell on it? To him, persistent complaining just leaves a person stuck.
I feel my complaints wouldn't persist, though, if he'd just acknowledge them the first time around. Marriage is supposed to be for better or worse, and I figure that includes talking about the better and the worse. Especially the worse.
Not long after the night of the five tuck-ins, I'm complaining about another bedtime when Bill says, "Is this making you feel better?"
I simmer through the rest of the week, my little gripes now dwarfed by a big one: My husband doesn't listen to me. To be fair, Bill is not a Neanderthal; he'd probably have been a therapist if he hadn't become a law professor. He's usually an excellent listener, but he seems deaf to my complaining.

Projects > Air Hospital
The Canguro O.N.L.U.S. Flights Aid Association is working on the realisation of the first European Air Hospital.
The modus operandi of the Canguro O.N.L.U.S. Flights Aid Association aims at bringing aid to the population in need in Third World countries, depressed and war struck areas.
From experience, we believe that the aircraft is the most suitable means to reach distant and inaccessible areas.
This aircraft will be used to operate in underdeveloped countries in normal conditions and wherever there is need in extraordinary conditions (disaster, tsunami, earthquakes, etc.). The aircraft will be equipped with two ophthalmic operating theaters and an external pneumatic tent with 2 beds, a diagnostic area and pharmacie.
We will finally be able to cure those patients who are currently not receving specialised assistance because they live in isolated villages, or to the best of hopes are forced to face long pilgrimages to reach hospitals in their country's capital. On top of the child's isolation in its environment there are unsustainable costs for the families to be added that are related to accompaniment expenses.
In some countries a plain eye infection, that often leads to operable blindness, causes serious clinical, economical and social problems for the young sick children and their families.
The type of aircraft is Fokker 27 MK500.
Upon arrival at destination, the pneumatic tent is set up that acts as a consulting room and as an in-patient ward.
The medical equipment for eye surgery are fixed on board and the diagnostic in the tent.
The aircraft's dimensions allow all activities to be performed on board.
Alessandro Modia Rore with the Sales Director of Eurovinil, dr. Massimo Mazzella
The airplane is a FOKKER 27 and has a cost of:
€ 300.000: Airplane
€ 200.000: D-Check performed at this dicaounted price, by Miniliner in Bergamo Airport.
€ 150.000: Medical equipements
Its transport capacity is of 50 passengers and was cut down to 13 so as to allow the installation of medical equipment on board.
The advantages of this aircraft are that it is the least expensive in its category and that it can easily land on dug up runways.
Canguro onlus Flights heartedly thanks Eurovinil S.p.A. for its precious support in supplying the 4-arch pneumatic tent manufactured with leading-edge materials. The tent will be mounted outside the aircraft during missions so as to protect us from heat and bad weather besides acting as a pre and post operating theatre.

Spare Some for Autism was founded in Raleigh, NC, by a local CEO and mother of an autistic daughter, Beth Jarvis. Very familiar with giving back to her community, working with celebrities, and running a highly successful charity event, as the founder and former Tournament Director of the Jimmy V Celebrity Junior Golf Classic, Beth decided it was time to turn her attention to a cause that hits a little closer to home…
Nine years ago, Beth's daughter, Cameron, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). As a twin, Cameron was always a few steps behind her sister, Carly, and even though the mental and physical gap has lessened over the years through special attention and training, the differences are still apparent. Determined to get some answers, Spare Some for Autism is the result of Cameron's loving spirit, Beth's will to provide a better life for her daughter and other children with autism, and the entire autism advocacy community's journey to provide answers and, ultimately, a cure, for this devastating disorder.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We are dedicated to funding programs that will directly impact the individuals that suffer from ASD and allow them to achieve their highest level of independence within their home, school, and community, all while gaining respect and support for themselves.
Spare Some for Autism also seeks to support families affected by ASD by educating them on such topics as literacy and coping with disabilities so that families will be better prepared to support each other.
Spare some time… spare some love… spare some hope.

Parents concerned about sexual content will likely want to pass this one by. While no overt nudity is ever seen (other than a poster of a topless girl with whipped cream and cherries on her breasts), sexual subjects permeate the dialogue and two men compete to see who can bed a girl first. Many slang terms for sex are heard—along with other profanities—and people are often seen being physically hurt by other people or objects. Alcohol consumption is regularly depicted and in one scene, a man reports giving a woman some type of drug.

Los Angeles • Utah's team bus broke down in the middle of a busy intersection Thursday morning, right after the Utes had finished shoot-around in preparation for USC. Frustrated with the wait, Larry Krystkowiak and some of his players rode a cab back to the team hotel in Manhattan Beach.
As it turns out, that would be the low point of the day for the Utah basketball program.
The Utes' long nightmare is over, the drought is finished. A 79-71 win over the Trojans before seemingly dozens in an empty Galen Center proved that Utah can indeed win away from the Huntsman Center.
It wasn't easy. The Utes built a 58-42 lead with 12 minutes to go, only to see it shrink to 71-67 with two minutes remaining. But for once, Utah was the team that got to the loose balls, got the big rebounds and hit the big shots.
"It was a huge win for us," sophomore point guard Brandon Taylor said. "We came out with the mindset that we were going to do anything that we could to get ourselves a win. We didn't play as well as we would've liked, but it was enough. That matters."
Clinging to a 73-68 advantage — with the crowd into the game for the first time — Utes sophomore forward Jordan Loveridge hit a huge 3-pointer from the right wing to give Utah a 76-68 advantage and provide a dagger. It may have been the biggest single shot of the season.
It wrapped up a nice all-around game for Loveridge, who finished with 19 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Delon Wright was his usual self, scoring 20 points, grabbing nine rebounds and handing out five assists. Dakarai Tucker scored all 12 of his points in the second half - and 11 of those came in the first eight minutes, getting hot from three-point range and providing a lift.
"We moved the ball around and we were unselfish tonight," Tucker said. "We played very well at the beginning of the second half, and that gave us a lead. We'll have to go and look at the film to see what we could've done better, but we're happy."
The victory marks a milestone in a number of ways for the Utes. They move to 17-7 on the season, and 6-6 in Pac-12 play. It's the latest .500 or above league record they've had since moving over from the Mountain West.
By winning over USC, Utah also sweeps an opponent for the first time in Pac-12 play. The Utes will have a chance to break that .500 mark for the first time, if they can find a way to win at UCLA on Saturday afternoon.

Utah received important performances from a number of sources. Dallin Bachynski scored 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds. More importantly, he scored in the paint and provided a nice defensive boost on the interior when USC started to drive the lane off the dribble.
Taylor scored nine points. But his defense on Trojans star Byron Wesley in the second half was especially impactful. Wesley scored 20 points, but shot 8-for-18 and struggled with Taylor's quickness.
Most importantly, Utah finally didn't panic when a team made a run. Unlike Arizona, and Colorado, the Utes didn't wilt when USC made a big push. And that's why Utah finally can say it won a road game.

Here is a list of just some of the motor vehicle dealers and manufacturers and dealership employees and lenders that we have filed cases against in Court on behalf of consumers during the last year or so. Not every case goes to court and many motor vehicle warranty and sales disputes can be settled without having to file a lawsuit at all. But when it has to be done, we are ready to fight for you.
Manufacturer cases often involve warranty and lemon law claims, where vehicles have problems that are not fixed in a reasonable amount of time or without repeat trips to the dealer repair shop. Cases involving car dealers can involve warranty claims and unfair or deceptive actions against consumers. Others include allegations of outright fraud, including selling wrecked cars, salvage titled cars, odometer rollback and tampering, flood cars and lemon law buyback cars.
The most recent car sales fraud we have heard of involve the sale of previously wrecked and often badly repaired used vehicles in Cleveland, Ohio and elsewhere, often with the use of internet web sites that misrepresent the true condition of the vehicle or its history. We recommend you never buy any used car over the internet. And never buy a used car without getting a warranty of some kind from the selling dealership, even if it is only for a few days of coverage. If you get any kind of dealer warranty, you often can get certain legal rights that you otherwise may not get at all. Don't be fooled. Don't waste your money.
If you have a lemon or if you are the victim of motor vehicle sales fraud, call the Burdge Law office on our Toll Free Hotline at 1.888.331.6422 and let one of our attorneys get rid of your problem, or you can email us. You can also fill out our "Free Case Review" questionnaire.
Not from Ohio? If you are in Kentucky or Hawaii, we can still help so call us on our Toll Free Lemon Law Hotline at 1.888.331.6422. For other states, click here to find out what your State's Lemon Law says, and you can find a Lemon Law Lawyer near you by clicking the link.

He has to be strong if he was itachis mentor (iirc).
Or shisui knew he could not reach his full potential with the SG as himself, killed off his real identity to become a "no one" identity with the use of tobi for reference because he realized what itachi did because he taught it to him, which is why itachi thought that way as shisui's sasuke to him... little brother figure...
Itachi: "as i have just said now... don't judge others by your preconceptions or by your judgement of their appearance..."
Itachi: "The clan, the clan, you fail to measure your own capacity.. as well as see my own which is why you lie here, beaten.... you hold onto your orginization, your clan, your name... these things limit us, limit our capacity and should be shunned... it is foolish to fear what we have yet to see and know"...
What itachi is explaining is very similar to tobi's ideology... except itachi chooses just to not be uchiha... realizing such a thing limits him as a shinobi... Tobi, who I believe is shisui, would of had this same ideology, but was the one to pass it on to itachi as his mentor... Tobi has admitted he chooses to be "no one"... which is no identity of a clan, organization or name... I believe the very "truth" tobi speaks of will turn out to be just as itachi's was... identities limit shinobi... they force them to be trapped within the comfines of such a limited notion, as a clan or person... having no identity frees one up to reach his/her full potential with no limits... thus identity should be shunned, thrown away to create a more perfect identity of "no identity"...
WOW, I just went way off topic... anywho... I agree with ya...
I think that the jutsu is so powerful that you have to have powerful chakra to use the tech. The only person known to have chakra that strong that all of the old heads of Konoha knew was the first hokoge. That's y oro experimented with it soo much. That's y Danzo needed it to do what he did..
We all kno that if your using someone's sharingan and ur not a uchiha it has a tremendous effect on the body. Kakashi damn near dies from exhaustion using his... If he had naruto or the firsts chakra it wouldn't be that bad... U see? I think kotoama is so strong that even itach who isn't known for being a chakra tank wasn't able to use it like that and they eyes themselves has a cool down time of ten yrs..I mean how old was shisui wen he died? When did he first discover kotoama? 10? 12? Then again at 20 something??
Exactly... except I am trying to point out the reasonable conclusion that if such a powerful chakra is needed to use the jutsu, it must take the same chakra to awaken, create the genjutsu of the MS in the first place...
I am not sure if shisui had hashirama chakra, exactly... I assume that because I think he is tobi and tobi has hashirama's chakra from cell implantation just as madara has now... hashirama's chakra is not the only super powered chakra in the narutoverse... apparently Nagato Uzumaki's chakra was so powerful it was capable of awakening the RG just as hashirama's did within edo madara... and the kyuubi's Yang chakra naruto uses reacts with hashirama;s chakra as if its the same....
Still, because hashirama had a chakra that is the combination of both senju and uzumaki abilities... was known to have a close relationship with the uzumaki and the only senju in history to be so powerful with such a unique chakra...
I think its likely that hashirama was an uzumaki/senju hybrid... having been born with both clans bloodline traits which has not been seen since the younger son of RS inherited his fathers Yang half of power which was based on powerful Physical energy (senju power) and powerful life energy (uzumaki power). Hell, nagato could of been like hashirama, a hybrid of the two clans related to the younger son too... which is why he also could awaken the RG from what could only be assumed to of been either madara's EMS or a simple pair of SG eyes... do not know yet...
So, since I doubt shisui was an uchiha/senju/uzumaki hybrid who awakened all three of RS's direct bloodlines traits... I think shisui being a basic Uchiha, but because of the secret to the uchiha's bodies which allowed hashirama's cells to be fully integrated within him. SHisui was able to fuse with hashirama's cells as well... as an experiment of Oro's as one of the sixty kids in which yamato was known to survive... or as danzou's right hand man, danzou had Oro implant shisui with hashirama's cells in order to create a more powerful being to be used as his tool then eye power taken, then thrown away as a person... but still lives.. ahahahaaaa!
Got off topic again... ANyways, I do not think shisui had just any kind of powerful chakra like that of just senu or uzumaki.. no, if hashirama is so unique with a power of both the senju and uzumaki... and uchiha shisui's chakra is the exact same color and power to be able to use Kotoamatsukami as well as awaken it... I think its highly likely that shisui simply had hashirama's chakra, not some other powerful chakra...
Originally Posted by

Pretty much, yea... agreed!
:SHisui's Kotoamatsukami can only be used properly with hashirama's chakra, not any other... it would take a decade with those... as explained by itachi himself.
:Shisui's chakra was mistaken for hashirama's in danzou's right arm and shoulder... while danzou was using hashirama's chakra to power shisui's Koto eye, as itachi said it is supposed ot be used...
:hashirama's chakra is shown to take the power of the SG to another level beyond what even an Uchiha can do with it...
:With uchiha like madara, izuna, itachi and sasuke being basic uchiha with basic uchiha chakra which awakened amaterasu, tsukuyomi and even sasanoo... but shisui awakened Kotoamatsukami which far surpasses tsukuyomi, thus a doujutsu exceeding what a basic uchiha can do which has only been shown to be done with hashirama's chakra...
Somehow, someway, shisui had (or has) Hashirama's chakra which is how he was able to awaken, create and properly use Kotoamatsukami... and could even be why shisui had such quick shushin no jutsu... (pure speculation) Imagine sasuke and itachi as uchiha's have extremely fast reflexes which is why they move so fast... (sasuke can move faster then the raikage in basic raiton armour mode, just not super mode)... but with the power of hashirama's to power their shushins and reflexes... just imagine how much faster they would have been, as uchiha shisui must have been...
Just look at naruto... by using a chakra just like hashirama's, the kyuubis yang chakra that reacts with hashirama's mokuton thus validating my statement. A power that increases anything even ninjutsu, genjutsu giving them more life, thus power... He is able to match if not surpass the Raikage super mode speed... and he is slow as piss without the yang chakra of the kyuubi... however, as an uchiha, even without hashirama's chakra, shisui should of been fast like itachi and sasuke with such quick reflexes...
Just imagine... shisui could have likely been even faster then the raikage in super mode if he really did have hashirama's chakra to power his shushin, thus his nickname "shisui of the shushin"

We study relations on trees defined by first-order constraints over a vocabulary that includes the tree extension relation T ≺ T ′ , holding if and only if every branch of T extends to a branch of T ′, unary node-tests, and a binary relation checking if the domains of two trees are equal. We consider both ranked and unranked trees. These are trees with and without a restriction on the number of children of nodes. We adopt the model-theoretic approach to tree relations and study relations definable over the structure consisting of the set of all trees and the above predicates. We relate definability of sets and relations of trees to computability by tree automata. We show that some natural restrictions correspond to familiar logics in the more classical setting, where every tree is a structure over a fixed vocabulary, and to logics studied in the context of XML pattern languages. We then look at relational calculi over collections of trees, and obtain quantifier-restriction results that give us bounds on the expressive power and complexity. As unrestricted relational calculi can express problems complete for each level of the polynomial hierarchy, we look at their restrictions, corresponding to the restricted logics over the family of all unranked trees, and find several calculi with low (NC 1) data complexity, while still expressing properties important for database and

DivX-compatible R1 portable multimedia player from Samsung
By Darren Quick
September 1, 2009
Samsung claims its R1 'beat' player is the slimmest and lightest DivX-compatible portable multimedia player yet, which means users can play DivX content without the time-wasting step of converting files. The R1 is also the first DivX-compatible player to boast a touchscreen, measuring 2.6-inches, that allows the device to incorporate the TouchWiz user interface (UI) also found in other Samsung devices like the Jet and Memoir mobile phones.
Samsung refers to the R1 as a 'beat' player because of the inclusion of a 'Beat DJ' feature, which allows budding artists to add their own voice and sound effects to their favorite songs as well as 'scratch' records using a virtual turntable on the touchscreen. The player also includes Samsung's Digital Natural Sound Engine (DNSe) 3.0, measures just 8.9mm thick, weighs in at 50g, and will be available in 8GB or 16GB capacities.
There's no word on price yet, but further details are likely to be forthcoming at the IFA trade show in Berlin from 4-9 September, where Samsung will be showcasing the device. However, it has been revealed that the R1 will be available in Europe sometime this month, with other markets to follow.

Periodically, a community needs to have its official and unofficial leaders introduced and recognized. In Puyallup, that was the function of the newspaper for a half-century.
The Puyallup Valley Tribune, predecessor of the Herald, published a full-page "Better Acquaintance Supplement" in 1915 and again in 1930 as an introduction to "Business and Professional men at the head of civic and commercial movements."
In 1952, the paper ran a series entitled "Puyallupites in Review," highlighting individual leaders to "acquaint readers with neighbors in the business, civic and social fields."
In the 1970s, the newly formed Ezra Meeker Historical Society, with Lori Price and Hazel Hood among its members, gathered materials and house-published three volumes of "Puyallup Pacemakers," which contained many biographies that were later published in the newspaper. The historical society commissioned Price and Ruth Anderson to write Puyallup, Pioneer Paradise, a history of the town that was published by Arcadia Publishing in 2002.
When that book went to press, we began to think about preparing a book that contained biographies based in part on the "Puyallup Pacemakers" material. In 2012, Arcadia provided a vehicle for such a work in its "Legendary Locals" series.
Ruth Anderson, with contributions from Hans Zeiger, Dennis Larsen, society members and local families, has prepared short biographies and accompanying photographs for a book called "Legendary Locals of the Puyallup Valley." I asked Ruth a few questions about the work.
AA: How did you go about compiling the list of those you wanted to include?
RA: A small working group at the historical society produced a working list, and as we began interviewing people, they would recommend others. The book captures early pioneers and settlers, living folks whose roots run deep in the valley, representatives of a variety of professions, and major contributors to the life of the community. Of course, since space limited the volume to about 150 brief biographies, many worthy citizens were left out of the manuscript.
AA: Speaking of omissions, are there are any plans for another volume?
RA: The historical society will continue to collect information on people and events to be used in a future effort. But they cannot do it alone. I urge everyone to share your information and photos, an easy thing to do with today's technology, with the archivists at the Meeker Mansion.
AA: How would you compare today's legendary folks with those of earlier times?
RA: In the early settlement years, people wore many hats to create, lead and maintain the institutions needed to keep a vibrant community going. These days, most of the essential civic needs are met by government-funded organizations. Hence, donors and volunteers certainly contribute to non-profit organizations and fraternal clubs that support the community, but the newspaper editor is no longer the postmaster, for example.
Look for this book and its author at one of the local signings, or pick up a copy at the Meeker Mansion.

Wrongful termination suit filed against Vt. townThe Associated Press | April 08,2013ST. JOHNSBURY St. Johnsburys former town manager is suing the town claiming he was unlawfully fired after just a week on the job.
Mark Shea, of Winchester, Mass., filed a wrongful termination lawsuit Friday seeking reinstatement as town manager and monetary damages.
Sheas attorney, Stephen Ellis, said the Board of Selectmens March 11 vote to rescind his appointment wasnt legal. Ellis said Vermont law requires cause to fire a town manager, which he says cant be accomplished by rescinding an appointment.
But a town attorney told the Caledonian Record that Shea was never hired in the first place and that theres no contract to support his contention.
In a separate lawsuit, former town manager Ralph Nelson is also suing St. Johnsbury for wrongful termination.

Can you post the table design? Surely there is a timestamp column in the tablea_log table. A simple where clause filtering on the date range should accomplish what you need. or you could use WHERE DATE_COLUMN > '2012-02-17'Thanks Tim. your query did it.

Governor Jan Brewer is not going to block the chance for voters to decide this year if lawmakers should get a pay hike.
The constitution envisions a public vote every two years on legislative pay. That first requires a special commission to meet to make a recommendation. But two years ago the governor refused to appoint her members, thwarting the whole discussion. An aide said at the time Brewer did not believe discussing a pay hike was appropriate. But press aide Matthew Benson said his boss WILL make her appointments this year.

After nine days of deliberations, a jury in North Carolina found John Edwards not guilty on one count of campaign finance fraud, and a federal judge declared a mistrial after they failed to reach a verdict on five more. Afterwards, the former presidential candidate said he'd committed no crimes but admitted to what he called awful wrongs for which he could only blame himself. Observers think it's highly unlikely the Justice Department will seek a retrial.

I got this Nissin Di466 flash for my Canon 650D (T4i). The first thing I noticed is the weight of this flash. With batteries, it comes to 500g which is almost same weight as the SLR body. The next thing I noticed is the good build quality, it doesn't look like cheap plastic or a knock off Chinese brand.
As for the actual functionality, it works out of the box when mounted on top of the SLR. The flash to ambient light balance looks natural, exposure is right most of the time. But I felt the image was slightly underexposed in some cases, especially around 18mm focal length range. It is trivial to dial in flash exposure compenstion, there are big +/- buttons available on the back to adjust flash exposure in 0.5 increments.
Importantly, this flash recycles much quicker than the on board flash, noticeably with 2700 mAh NiMH batteries. The flash head also swivels vertically to bounce the light of walls and ceilings and can be used to avoid the dark shadows that the on board flash creates.
The interesting bit starts when this flash is used as a slave with a compatible camera. (600D, 650D, 7D and the higher Pro models from Canon have wireless flash trigger functionality). There are two slave channels S1 & S2 available on this flash. This gives a lot of creative freedom with the placement of the flash(es) and direction of lighting. The output when the flash is used off camera is excellent, giving a pro look to portraits. With some tries, I was able to achieve some very good portraits with perfect fill and soft light. For the experimental or advanced photographer, the flash has a full manual mode also available.
On the extras front, the flash comes with a diffuser and white card. It has a LED for autofocus assist in dark conditions. It comes with a soft cloth pouch to carry around, but no batteries. I ordered a set of 4xNiMH Sanyo Eneloop batteries to go with this flash.
At the price offered, this flash is an incredible amount of value.
If weight is a problem, Canon 270 EX II costs more and offers almost the same feature set but it weighs half as the Nissin Di466 with batteries.
This flash is one of its class, fast at recycle time, nice synchronization with my Canon DSLR, the in-built diffuser and reflector is a added bonus, only if it had a horizontal swirl head, it would have been a complete flash, but at this price it's a sure steal. Indoor photography always have been a hassle for DSLRs, but now after using my DSLR with the Nissin Di466 Flash the scenario has changed...
And there is no need to say about the wonderful service provided by Flipkart.... Jio... Keep up the good work..
Nissin Di466 is a Sturdy and Well Built External Flash Unit.
What i Found annoying is that,Inserting AA batteries and removing it from slot is bit tricky.If you kind of do it in hurry or you are not careful you going to break the battery slot.
Other than that, the Flash works reasonably well, it takes me about 3 or 4 secs time to recycle the next flash.The reach of the flash is good.
If you are tight in budget this one would be a good alternative to other external flashes.
Great flash in the price bracket....I used the flash as both Primary flash mounted in the camera itself and as a Slave mounted on the tripod and it works superb in every mode..
fast recharge time with Alkaline batteries...and really worth the price and has better features than the pricey Canon Flashes
Thank god I bought this flash before the price hike...
Thank You Flipkart for making the experience nice..

Medicare Cuts Could Slash 278K Hospital Jobs, Warns AHA
Medicare funding cuts under consideration by Congress could cost the nation's hospitals $61.4 billion over the next decade, forcing them to trim their payrolls of nearly 278,000 jobs, the American Hospital Association said this week.
The reimbursement reductions detailed in H.R. 3630 would take funding from hospitals and use it to cover the deficit created by the extensions of the Social Security tax holiday and unemployment benefits, and by the so-called "doc fix" that aims to address cuts to physician reimbursements .
An analysis done for AHA by the researcher firm Tripp Umbach determined that if the provisions of H.R. 3630 were implemented, hospitals could see a reduction in funding of nearly $20 billion, along with about 83,000 job losses.
In addition, the study found that the mandatory sequestration that is scheduled to go into effect in 2013 could cost hospitals another 194,000 jobs and more than $40 billion in funding.
"Cuts in funding for hospital care will threaten jobs at a time when our nation needs to be creating jobs, not eliminating them," AHA President/CEO Rich Umbdenstock said Wednesday in a media release. "H.R. 3630 would lead to further job loss in hospitals, an ill-advised move in these tough economic times."
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported this month that hospitals created 89,100 jobs in 2011, more than double the 37,300 jobs hospitals created in 2010.
