This brings tears of joy to the ears. It have such a godly character that explaining it over a review is just like explaining what water tastes like! I have been playing for 5+ years. I bought this from ebay thinking that this was going to be ok. Was I wrong. I play metal and this thing projects and holds up to abuse! Its probably so loud that you wouldnt need to mic it!!! I hear complaints from down the street about how loud this is! And the looks, its like a block of gold straight from the mint! Pasite, once again, you will have a returning customer!
Great crash. I started drumming about 6 months ago, and started with the 14/16/20 paiste 201 set. My untrained ear quickly realized that my cymbals didn't sound the same as my favorite musicians. When I got better, I decided to fork out the money for the 19 inch. It was a great decision. The cymbal sounds great. If you want an example, listen to the white stripes, the 19" is the crash that meg white uses. It has some weight to it, so make sure you have a good stand. Great crash response, great bell sound, and can be used as a crash/ride if that's our style. I am very glad I bought this and I will probably be replacing my other cymbals with paiste signature line.
this crash cymbal is the best...it projects very well and is the est sounding symbol i have ever used....its perfect for rock and metal etc. its cuts through all the band like a sharp pair of scissors through paper...it has a clean but distorted sound ....if you hit it hard it has a really trashy sound...that's good for metal....but also good for classical if hit it lightly...for rock you can hit it any way you want to and it will always sound good...also i wanted a symbol that would last me for a really long time and this is definitely the one :)

Ambitious applicants wanted for Young Commissioners Program
Middle schoolers interested in learning more about their community and local government have a chance to gain a civics education — and leadership skills — this summer.
The Lee County Young Commissioners Leadership Program is accepting applications for the two-week program, which runs from July 28 to Aug. 8 and is open to current seventh- to ninth-graders from Lee County. Applications are due May 23.
"We want young people who are interested in increasing their leadership capacity, and kids who want to learn more about their local community and local government — the ones who want to take more control of their future by doing positive things." said 4-H Youth Development Agent Bill Stone, program coordinator.
The program is a collaboration between the N.C. Cooperative Extension and Lee County government.
Last year, a dozen young people participated, and this year's group is expected to number 14 or more — depending on the number and quality of applicants.
Its objectives for each participant include:
• Increase understanding of leadership principles and how they can be applied to life.
• Understand the issues facing Lee County and how elected officials address these issues.
• Develop skills needed for effective leadership.
• Understand the role of county government, as well as other local organizations.
• Provide service opportunities to showcase skills learned through the program.
• Have an enjoyable experience while making a positive difference in the community.
This is the program's second year, and Lee County Commissioner Chairman Charlie Parks said he saw the inaugural group form a friendship that could continue throughout their lifetimes.
"I hope this new group will have this same attitude," he said.
The first group of students are tentatively set to help mentor the new crop of students, Stone said, adding that they looked for ways to expand the program to build on its success.
For more information, contact 4-H Youth Development Agent Bill Stone at (919) 775-5624.

I bought the dlc, so I decided to replay the game. On ep. 1, the screen would freeze every time it autosaved. I went to the forums, and tried a quick fix (switching between fullscreen and windowed). After that, it fixed the freezing, but the mouse lagged like crazy, making it hard to do anything at all. I kept at the fullscreen thing, and it worked good enough for me to finish the episode. When I started ep 2, it asked about rewinding and all that junk, and I just said ok, so I could go ahead. After that I got the black screen that would just stay there until I quit. It really broke my immersion and is a big problem that I would think telltale would be more concerned about fixing.

Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon lived for over a century, being born during the time of Queen Victoria's reign and living until she passed away in 2002, fifty years into her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II's reign. She lived an incredible life and became an iconic figure of the Royal family.
Born on 4th August 1900, Elizabeth was the ninth of ten children of Claude Bowes-Lyon and Cecilia Cavendish-Bentinck. Her father seemed to have forgotten to register her birth for six weeks, therefore her birthplace ranges from Hertfordshire to London. Historians have claimed that London is the safer bet.
Queen Elizabeth visiting a patient at Glen O'Dee Red Cross Sanatoria in Kincardine, 1949.
In 1904, Elizabeth's grandfather died and thus her parents became Lord and Lady Strathmore. She spent her childhood at the family home in St Paul's Walden Bury in Hertfordshire and at Glamis Castle, which was the family home in Scotland. It was at Glamis that Lady Elizabeth was educated by a host of governesses and her mother.
At the onset of World War, which coincidentally was Elizabeth's 14th birthday, Glamis became a makeshift hospital. If you have watched series two of Downton Abbey, where Highclere Castle becomes a convalescent home for soldiers during World War I, then you get the idea. Duty was the hallmark of Elizabeth's family and she believed in this from a young age. She spent many days caring for the soldiers convalescing at Glamis. One can ascertain it was this experience that began her lifelong commitment of compassion and caring for those from all walks of life, a symbol of her legacy.
After the war ended, Elizabeth began socialising in the royal circles and was pursued by several suitors. It was during this time that she revisited her acquaintance with King George V and Queen Mary's second son, Prince Albert, The Duke of York. Albert and Elizabeth first met when she was five years old. Albert, the shy prince with a stammer, fell head over heels in love with the enchanting Elizabeth. She rebuffed his advances as her father cautioned her about living a royal life. There is the saying 'third time is a charm', and according to numerous books and sources it was finally on the third time the relentless Duke of York asked for Elizabeth's hand in marriage that she deferred.
The Royal visit to Canada in 1939.
On 26 April 1923 the couple married in Westminster Abbey. As she made her way to the altar, Elizabeth laid her bouquet on the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. It is well known that the wedding was not broadcast on the radio as officials from the Church believed that "disrespectful people wearing hats might listen in public houses".
The next 14 years The Duke and Duchess of York carried out few official engagements and led a somewhat quiet life. Princess Elizabeth was born in 1926 and four years later, in 1930, Princess Margaret joined the family.
In 1936, after the family and nation mourned the death of King George V, the York's rather quiet life was about to be turned upside down. After being King for less than a year, Edward VIII abdicated the throne in order to marry the twice divorced Wallis Simpson. The abdication thrust Bertie, as he was affectionately known, to become King. On 12 May 1937, the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth took place at Westminster Abbey.
It is well-known that Elizabeth, who since the days of helping the wounded soldiers of World War I felt that duty took precedence over anything else. Many historians say she never forgave her brother-in-law or Wallis Simpson.
The Queen would now be witness to a Second World War. Her endeavours during this time would endear her to the nation and bring about the utmost respect and admiration for the monarchy. During the war, when advised to go to Canada with Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, The Queen allegedly said: "The Princesses cannot go without me. I cannot go without the King. And the King will never leave." Consequently, the Princesses were sent to Windsor Castle and The Queen stayed at Buckingham Palace, where she learned how to shoot a revolver.
When Buckingham Palace was bombed during the Blitz, King George and his wife dodged being killed by approximately 30 yards. "I'm almost glad we've been bombed. Now we can look London's East End in the face," she commented.
Unwavering in her duty and determined to show the country some hopefulness, she visited bomb sites day after day, extending consolation and reassurance. Because of her never-ending hope to unify the country, Adolf Hitler dubbed her "the most dangerous woman in Europe."
After the war and the Royal Tour of South Africa in 1947, Princess Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten. The following year, The Princess would give birth to Prince Charles, the King and Queen's first grandchild and third in the line of succession.
It was during the next few years George VI's health began to take a turn for the worse and the King died on 6 February 1952. The Queen withdrew to Scotland and for the next year she wore black in mourning for her beloved husband. She would later return to public life, taking up residence at Clarence House.
As her daughter became Queen Elizabeth II, her mother became known as The Queen Mother. It was a Canadian reporter in 1958 who warmly named her the "Queen Mum." As a grandmother, the Queen Mother took an active role in watching after her grandchildren when The Queen was away on official business. She was especially close to the Prince Charles and the two often attended royal engagements together in her later years.
The Queen Mother's legacy, beside her unending duty and service, is her longevity. She celebrated her 90th birthday in August 1990, and maintained an active schedule with appearances at official celebrations.
She underwent surgeries for a cataract, hip replacements and a broken collarbone. In December 2001, at age 101, the Queen Mother had a fall and fractured her pelvis. She recovered enough to be able to be present at a memorial service for her late husband on 6th February 2002.
A few days later on 9th February 2002, her youngest daughter, Princess Margaret, died at the age of 71. In spite of falling and wounding her arm a few days after Margaret's death, she still attended her daughter's funeral.
On 30th March 2002, The Queen Mother died in her sleep at the Royal Lodge at Windsor Great Park, with Queen Elizabeth II at her side. She was 101 years old.
It is quite probable that Elizabeth never imagined herself becoming a Queen Mother when she accepted The Duke of York's marriage proposal. However, when the events of the 1930s occurred and she became Queen Consort, Elizabeth was dedicated to the cause and took her royal duties seriously. This resolute attitude most certainly passed onto her daughter, Elizabeth II, who has always shown great commitment to her duties. The Queen Mother was a figure of strength and compassion during times of warfare and hardship, and she was a caring mother and grandmother. Even age and illness did not prevent her from her responsibilities, illustrating her continued devotion to the Royal family.

During the blitz, when touring the bomb sites of the east end, The Queen was advised not to wear her jewellery or fur, so as not to appear too well protected from the rigours of the war.
She replied by saying that if they were visiting her, the people of the east end would wear their best clothes and she was returning the compliment
What a very astute and inspired woman!

Unity 3.2.0f4, Windows 7 64.
In my game, I have all Audio events played directly to my Main Game Camera. So, theoretically, all sounds/music/effects will be played at full Volume (1.0f).
When I get my game to use WWW web streaming to load an Audio File (OGG Music), the volume is perfect, 100%.
But, when I make a Bundle containing this Audio Asset, and load it from the asset bundle, the audio volume seems to have been cut in half.
When I was in Unity 2.6 and did this similarly, there was no audio volume cut. Is this something new?
(I build my Asset Bundles from a special menu that loads all the files, then builds bundles from there.)
asked Feb 18, 2011 at 11:09 PM
add new comment (comments are locked)
You probably checked the 3D option for the audio in your AssetBundle? and use 2D for the audio you load with WWW?. That would explain the difference in volume (as the 3D sound will be attenuated over distance from the listener, making it softer)
answered May 25, 2011 at 01:43 PM
Sren Christiansen
Something very similar. In the Editor, the sound was attached to a blank game object at the same location of the MainCamera, with the Mic. 2D sound would have fixed this (But I needed it to stay 3D as I used that same effect somewhere else that didn't need to be right next to the camera). So I added a code that moved the gameobject to stay right beside the camera. Apparently it was a bug in the Editor.

It's Valentine's Day, a time to wear your heart on your sleeve and tell that special someone that you care. Poets say that love makes sweet music, but they clearly haven't heard some of these songs that we've dug up. The singer's heart was (usually) in the right place, but these not-so-sweet nothings will have you face-palming yourself into last week!
T.I.'s Going To Be The Best Trouble Man There Is
It's mid morning and the self-proclaimed King of the South is in the hallway of the VH1 offices sans shoes. In his socks T.I. rakes through a wardrobe rack in search of the perfect attire for his Big Morning Buzz Live appearance with his wife Tameka "Tiny" Harris. Slightly blocking the hallway I mumble a soft, "Excuse me" in order to walk by. "Oh. I'm sorry sweetheart. How are you?" he asks. The epitome of a southern gentleman to the core.
At 31, Clifford "T.I." Harris has conquered more than rap. Acting, film producer, CEO of his record label Grand Hustle Records, owner of his own clothing line and reality TV star are only a few of the titles he's held since his 2001 debut I'm Serious. Nearing the release of his eighth album Trouble Man (with no official release date) and T.I.'s excited again. During an interview with 105.1's Breakfast Club he said he wanted out of the game. But things change. Read more…
ALBUM REVIEW: Go! Pop! Bang! Is Rye Rye's Energetic Ode To Baltimore
When other high schoolers were sneaking on the phone at the wee hours of the morning to talk to their crush, Rye Rye was touring with M.I.A. After DJ Blaqstarr discovered the young rapper at the age of 15, they collaborated on "Shake It To The Ground," a youthful dance track that caught the attention of M.I.A. only months later. Now, 21, the Baltimore, MD rapper has released her debut album Go! Pop! Bang! that was four years in the making. To appreciate Rye Rye's music one must understand the oftentimes disparate state of her hometown. Then one must consider the city's definitive musical sound unique to that place and its natives. The arts was a way for the young funky teen to express herself outside of the confines of the housing projects she grew up in. As much as Rye Rye is a rapper, she's a dancer. And the latter inspires the sound of Go! Pop! Bang! more than the expected hardened environment she grew up in.
Her first single, "Boom Boom" (video below), is a perfect indication of what to expect from the album. It's about partying, boys and having a bloody good time. The whole point is not to take herself too seriously. Over the video game beat, Rye Rye raps in her semi-fast, edgy tone about wanting a guy in her room. Tracks like "DNA" featuring Porcelain Black, "New Thing," "Dance" and "Hardcore Girls" are where her Baltimore club influence is most dominant — a mix of house, D.C. go-go and techno-electro. On "Crazy Bitch," she teamed up with Akon in a more concept driven track where the beat is slightly slower than the usual uptempo beat. With the help of Akon she pokes fun at being considered the "crazy bitch" in the relationship. "Sunshine" and "Bang" both feature M.I.A. and have the bombastic drum beat M.I.A. tends to love on her own tracks. Both records offer that distinctive voice that only an M.I.A. feature can add. Her rhymes in "Bang" slow the listener down from the natural inclination to dance to actually listen to her rhymes. "Never Will Be Mine" featuring Robyn is one of the slower tracks on the record but still manages to keep the light fun mood of the rest of the album. Read more…
Behind the Music Sneak Peek: How Nas Reconciled with Jay Z
Tonight, legendary emcee Nas joins this season's Behind the Music alumni of artists like Aaliyah, Nelly, T-Pain, Game and Akon. In the program, the Queens rapper —who entered the hip hop game back in 1994 with the classic Illmatic— opens up about life, love, loss and beef.
Speaking of the latter, Nas' 2001 rivalry with Jay-Z was, without question, one of hip-hop's all-time biggest beefs. In this exclusive clip, Nas talks about his reconciliation with one of the game's biggest luminaries. After the diss records and the hype had dwindled, Nas remembers L.A. Reid asking if he'd be willing to talk to Jay. He went to the studio where Jay was, and like two true New Yorkers whose hearts beat hip-hop, the two dapped each other while laughing. When Nas signed to Def Jam in 2006, Jay-Z said, "You can't sign an artist of Nas stature. You can only partner with him."

Behind The Music Sneak Peek: Find Out How Akon Overcame A Difficult Childhood To Become A Global Phenomenon
It's been an incredible season of Behind The Music so far, with powerful episodes featuring the likes of Aaliyah, T-Pain, Game, Pitbull, and Nelly. This week, we put the spotlight on Akon, the multi-platinum recording artist who spent his formative years in Senegal.
In this exclusive preview of the show's first act, we trace Akon's roots growing up as the son of a famous musician, which led him to meet a teenage Michael Jackson when he was only 5 years-old. His world got turned upside down when he moved to America at the age of 7, where he was treated like an outcast and bullied because of his heritage, which ultimately led him down some dark paths as a youngster. However, he overcame the odds and turned his life around, eventually hooking up with Wyclef Jean and The Fugees. As Akon himself puts it in the clip above, "I love the fact that music is the vehicle to allow me to do what I'm doin', because that's all I'm in for: Changing the world."
You can watch Behind The Music: Akon when it airs tomorrow night, Wednesday, April 11, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

VH1 News: Do Something Awards Winners
Don't believe the cranks when they say today's youth are Twittering their lives away. Plenty of young adults are applying themselves in a major way, making a real dent when it comes to helping others.? Take Maggie Doyne: the 22-year-old Jersey girl was recently celebrated at NYC's Apollo Theater for building housing for orphans in Nepal – with her own life savings. She wasn't alone. Four other heroes were recognized as well. Check the VH1 News clip above.
The Do Something organization has been helping volunteers realize their dreams of changing the world. Thursday night's show celebrated a number of hard-working and creative activists, along with Usher, Akon, and other celebs.
Akon's Shady Past is a Load of Krap
You know how Akon toiled in a Georgia jail for four years for his illegal work as the head of a car-heist ring? His tales of thievin' and fighting behind bars after facing up to 75 years for a felony charge are a common theme in his songs and interviews, but it turns out it never really happened! The Smoking Gun did a whole lotta research on the Kon's shady past, and while the rapper does have a lengthy rap sheet, the only felony he ever received was for a gun possession charge, for which he got just three months probation. In fact, the longest Akon's ever spent in jail was just a few months, after he was busted for stealing a BMW. His rep as a "ringleader of a notorious car theft operation" – which he loves to boast about – is a total sham, presumably created by the rapper to appear tough to his millions of fans. Turns out that after all his bogus tales of life as a notorious felon, this might be his biggest con job of all. [Smoking Gun]
Akon Wants To Be Startin' Somethin'
Akon, the buff African-American superstar with the dulcet voice and penchant for, uh, escalating interactions between artist and audience, had the privilege of duetting with the Gloved One on "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" for Thriller 25, the anniversary edition of Michael Jackson's storied album. The record won't be out until February 12th, but we're streaming that track for you, here and now. And since we've had the privilege of listening to it, let's just say that it's a real duet, not one of those that stop with backing vocals added to the chorus. Between this and Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music," the lyrics "Mama-se, mama-sa, ma-ma-koo-sa" have rarely had so much exposure.
2007's Craziest: Akon Smacks That
Some gossip stories are too big to forget. We?re counting down the 20 biggest, baddest, most ridiculous and saddest celeb scandals of the year. You?ll get a new one posted every day.
Remember when Akon was just a dude with a hit record, a rap sheet and a few wives? That was before he was busted for taking his on-stage antics way too far. Back at a concert in April, Konvict brought up a 15-year old woman from the audience to accept a "trip to Africa" she was to be awarded for winning an earlier dance concert. Turns out her prize was a just a ride on the Akon crazy train, and the singer proceeded to mount and violently hump the teen all around the stage. How sexy! The girls are swooning! The incident caused Verizon to pull out of the Gwen Stefani tour it was sponsoring (Akon was the opening act) and he eventually apologized a few weeks after it all went down, saying "It was never my intention to embarrass or take advantage of my fans in any way, especially those under the age of 18."
Yeah, like that makes it any more appropriate, pal. If you can stomach the grossness, check out the video above of Akon's hump-nasty spectacle.
Akon Dumped By (Almost) Wife #4
We can't get enough of these gems from an interview with Rachel Ritfield, the woman who was to be Akon's fourth wife. Sadly, when push came to shove, the model just couldn't force herself to walk down the aisle with the polygamous rapper. Rachel said, "I want a man who thinks that I'm God's gift to creation and I can think the same of him." Well then what was she doing with Akon in the first place? Isn't he a notorious man ho? Apparently dry-humping underage fans can really turn a woman on. Rachel was not freaked out by the whole plural marriage thing at first, claiming "Akon was honest with me about his mutiple wives from the start, which never got in the way of our relationship because his wives live in various parts of the world, so I thought why fix it if it's not broken?"
Fix what? Our culture's attitude toward men who marry multiple women? Akon's screwy relationships? Sadly, Rachel didn't get the hint until Akon had kid number five with one of his wifeys. Rachel finally realized that Akon was still boning other chicks even though he acted like she was the only piece of ass in his life, and she bailed. "The one thing I wanted from Akon was for him to be monogamous to me but he could not grant me my wish," she lamented.
Hang in there girl! There are plenty of other creepy-ass rich dudes just yearning for a hot model like yourself. You'll get your wish! [Image: Rachel's MySpace]

Yun Zi, a panda at the San Diego Zoo, celebrated his second birthday with a party! Pandas love ice, of course, so the staff at the San Diego zoo served him an "ice cake." But it looks better than just ice. It looks like it's an enormous wedding cake, smothered in layer upon layer of delicious, dyed frosting. Can you say #mmm?
Actually, according to SanDiego.com, the cake was decorated with bamboo leaf bows,and boasted of a bowl in the lower tier that was filled with yams, apples and carrots, which are Yun Zi's favorites. To be completely blunt, that sounds like a pretty sh*tty cake, but whatever. It looks good. Let's let Yun Zi just be Yun Zi, alright, guys? And let's also watch him eat cake LIKE A BOSS.

Modern sport fishing in Chile got its start in 1893, when Isidora Goyenechea, wife of a wealthy mining magnate, created the country\'s first fish hatchery. Before this, trout did not grow here, but once introduced they found southern Chile\'s rivers and lakes to provide ideal habitat. As often happens when non-native species come into contact with Chile\'s isolated fauna, these strong, aggressive fish soon marginalized the native percatrucha.
Today, rainbow, brook, and brown trout are widespread throughout the south, attaining truly immense proportions in many of the larger lakes and rivers. Atlantic salmon, cohos, and steelhead trout, all introduced within the last twenty years, inhabit a more limited range, making their upriver dash to spawn mid to late summer (February - April). Fishing season in most regions lasts from October to April. A few blue-ribbon areas enjoy special regulations, though regulations lag behind the growth of the sport, especially in Tierra del Fuego. Catch and release is spreading but is still rarely practiced.
Fly fishermen from North America and Europe will find that fish here generally respond to the same flies used at home, only more aggressively: most have never seen a fly before. Wooly buggers are a local favorite.

BGSU has work to do on defense
BOWLING GREEN - Coming into spring football practice, Bowling Green State University returned just four starters on defense from last year's squad.
Couple that with a new coach implementing a new system, and the Falcons had their work cut out for them.
Now, with the dismissal of senior defensive lineman Michael Ream last week for an unspecified violation of team rules, the remaining Falcons have plenty of growing up to do before the team's home opener against Troy on Sept. 3.
"It's tragic, you know, what happened," said senior safety Jahmal Brown of Ream's release. "But we just have to step up, the next player just has to step up and play as hard as he can. That's all we can do really."
This week at practice it's been business as usual for the Falcons.
"We're not going to dwell on it," first-year coach Dave Clawson said. "It happened, and we're moving forward. We certainly feel good about the depth and the players we have at [defensive] tackle, so that won't hold us back at all."
Clawson and co-defensive coordinators Mike Elko and Shannon Morrison have been busy installing their multiple-scheme defense that will feature three, four and five-man fronts.
Leading that transition are senior returning starters P.J. Mahone and Brown in the secondary and Jerett Sanderson at linebacker.
Mahone led the Falcons last season with 95 tackles and was second on the team with three interceptions. He started all 12 games, finishing in double figures in tackles on four occasions.
Brown was third on the team with 83 tackles, adding 3.5 tackles for loss and seven pass break-ups.
"If you look at the second level of our defense, those are the two guys that really have a ton of experience, along with Jerett Sanderson," Clawson said. "We need those guys to step up and not be just good players for us but great players. They need to be all-conference type guys."
Question marks remain on the defensive line, where Ream was expected to be an anchor in the fall after posting 27 tackles, three tackles for loss, and five quarterback hurries last year.
That role will now be shared between juniors Darius Smith, Angelo Magnone and Nick Torresso and sophomores Kevin Alvarado and Andrew Johnson.
Johnson (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday, while freshman defensive lineman Winston Etheridge remains sidelined due to injury.
Junior defensive end Carlos Tipton sprained a ligament in his knee and will likely miss the remainder of spring practice.
"So far I like what I see from the defensive line," Brown said. "The defensive line to me has stepped up their level of play. They're playing aggressive."
With three spring practices remaining, including the spring game April 25, Clawson said he likes the progress his defense is making.
"I think the important thing is as they've learned the new system, they're starting to play faster with it," Clawson said.
"That's one thing you look for as a coach."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden has been sworn in to a second term.
The 70-year-old Biden took the oath of office from Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotamayor during a private ceremony Sunday at the U.S. Naval Observatory, the vice president's residence.
Biden and President Barack Obama will take the oath of office again on Monday during a public ceremony at the Capitol.
After Biden took the oath, he joined President Barack Obama to lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery.
Together Obama and Biden placed the wreath on a stand, then placed their hands on their hearts as a bugler played taps.

KEISTER CONTINUES TO DOMINATE IN THE LOW POST: Senior center Andrew Keister (Galloway, N.J.) has been one of the top low post players in the Patriot League over the last two seasons, and has twice been selected All-Patriot League.

In nine games played so far this season, he has averaged 11.2 points and 7.7 rebounds per contest, while hitting 50.0 percent (40 of 80) of his shots from the floor. During Sunday's victory at Marist, Keister led the team with 16 points and seven rebounds. Previously against Fairfield, he posted his 22nd career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Keister also played well against Stony Brook, scoring eight points and pulling down a team-high 10 rebounds. Some of his other top performances this season have come at Massachusetts (16 points, 11 rebounds), at Wake Forest (16 points, five rebounds), against the College of Charleston (15 points, 10 rebounds), at Boston College (10 points, seven rebounds) and at New Hampshire (10 points, seven rebounds).

Over the course of his collegiate career, Keister has now totaled 710 points and 580 rebounds, while making 51.9 percent (289 of 557) of his field goal attempts and posting 22 double-doubles.
HOLY CROSS FACES TOUGH SLATE: Even though Holy Cross is off to an 1-8 start this season, it has faced the toughest non-conference schedule of any school in the Patriot League. Through games of Dec. 19, the Crusaders' schedule was ranked as the 130th-hardest in the nation by CBSSports.com. The only other Patriot League school to play a schedule that comes close is Bucknell at 131st. Holy Cross has played three teams ranked in the top 100 of the ratings percentage index, and its opponents have combined to go 53-38 this season for a .582 winning percentage.
BROWN PLAYS KEY MINUTES FOR THE CRUSADERS: Junior guard Devin Brown (Baltimore, Md.) continues to be one of Holy Cross' top players during the 2010-2011 campaign.

During Sunday's victory at Marist, Brown totaled 13 points and four assists, while hitting all eight of his free throw attempts. Previously against Stony Brook, he scored a team-high 21 points on seven of 11 shooting from the field.

Some of his other top performances this season have come at Massachusetts (18 points, four assists), at New Hampshire (16 points, two steals) and against the College of Charleston (14 points, two assists). In 30 games played last year, Brown averaged 12.5 points per contest, while scoring in double-figures 16 times. He also hit 44.8 percent (64 of 143) of his three-point field goal attempts and 77.3 percent (85 of 110) of his free throws last season. Brown finished the 2009-2010 campaign ranked third in the Patriot League in three-point field goal percentage, eighth in free throw percentage and 11th in scoring. A few of Brown's top games last season came against Bucknell (career-high 29 points), at Navy (23 points, five of eight shooting from three-point range), at North Carolina State (21 points, five rebounds and three assists) and against George Washington (20 points and five rebounds). Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Brown has now totaled 685 points, 126 rebounds and 81 assists, while hitting 38.1 percent (91 of 239) of his three-point field goal attempts and 83.0 percent of his free throws (200 of 241).
MARIST RECAP: Andrew Keister totaled 16 points and seven rebounds, to lead Holy Cross to a 75-57 victory over Marist at the McCann Center on Dec. 19, 2010. Devin Brown added 13 points and four assists for the Crusaders, while hitting all eight of his free throw attempts. The game was close early on, and the Crusaders held a 13-12 advantage after the first nine minutes of play. Holy Cross then went on a 10-0 run, including five points from Keister, to extend its lead to 11 points (23-12) with seven minutes remaining in the first half. Marist responded with a 9-0 spurt of its own, before a 9-0 run by the Crusaders later in the half made the score 34-22. Holy Cross eventually took a 35-27 advantage into the locker room. After Marist's Jay Bowie hit a three-pointer early in the second half to make the score 35-30, Holy Cross went on a 10-4 run to build its advantage back to double figures (45-34). The Crusaders' lead would stay between eight and 12 points for the next several minutes, before Andrew Beinert scored five straight points to make the score 58-43 with eight minutes left to play. Holy Cross eventually extended its lead to 24 points (75-51) late in the game, before finally claiming an 18-point victory. Beinert scored all 10 of his points in the second half and added three rebounds, while Eric Obeysekere had career-highs of nine points and 17 rebounds. Jordan Stevens finished with career-highs of nine points and three assists, and Josh Jones tied his career-high with nine points. Marist was led by R.J. Hall with 14 points and three assists.

BEINERT LEADS HOLY CROSS FROM THE POINT: Senior guard Andrew Beinert (Floral Park, N.Y.) has been one of the Crusaders' top players in the backcourt over the last four seasons. In nine games played this season, Beinert has averaged 7.0 points, 3.1 assists and 2.3 rebounds per contest, while hitting 47.2 percent (17 of 36) of his three-point field goal attempts. During Sunday's victory at Marist, he scored 10 points (all in the second half) and pulled down three rebounds. Previously against Fairfield, Beinert led the team with 19 points, three rebounds and three assists, while hitting five of seven attempts from three-point range. A few of his other top performances this season have been at Wake Forest (eight points, seven assists) and at Boston College (11 points, three rebounds, two assists). In 31 games played last year, Beinert averaged 10.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals per contest, while hitting 61 of 141 (43.3 percent) three-point field goal attempts. He finished last season ranked fourth in the Patriot League in assists and three-point field goal percentage, while standing 17th in scoring. Some of Beinert's top games in 2009-2010 came at Lehigh (career-high 21 points and three steals, while hitting five of six shots from three-point range), at Bucknell in the Patriot League quarterfinals (19 points and three assists) and against Loyola (17 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals). During his career as a Crusader, Beinert has now totaled 773 points, 245 assists, 202 rebounds and 84 steals, while hitting 42.4 percent (146 of 344) of his three-point field goal attempts.
CAVATAIO SHINES ON THE WING: Junior guard Mike Cavataio (Forest Hills, N.Y.) is once again among Holy Cross' top players during the 2010-2011 campaign. In nine games played, Cavataio has averaged 6.8 points and 5.0 rebounds per contest. During the Massachusetts game, he filled up the stat line with 13 points, six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals.

In 31 games played last season, he averaged 11.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per contest. Cavataio also shot 47.1 percent (131 of 278) from the field and 82.1 percent (78 of 95) on the free throw line in 2009-2010. He finished last year ranked fourth in the Patriot League in free throw percentage, eighth in field goal percentage, ninth in rebounding and 14th in scoring.

Cavataio previously sat out the 2008-2009 season after transferring to Holy Cross from St. John's University, where he totaled 23 points and 20 rebounds during his only year with the Red Storm.
THE LAST MEETING WITH HOFSTRA: Pat Doherty scored a team-high 18 points, to lead Holy Cross to a 61-47 victory over Hofstra at the Hart Center on Nov. 10, 2007. Doherty made nine of 10 free throw attempts on the night, while also dishing out four assists. Doherty scored the first five points of the game with a three-pointer and a jump shot, but Hofstra came back with a 9-0 run to go up by four. The Pride were still up by one point (19-18) with 6:56 left in the first half, before the Crusaders went on a 9-0 run to take the lead for good. Hofstra came as close as three points late in the half, before Adam May scored six straight points to give Holy Cross a 33-24 lead at the break. The Crusaders continued to play outstanding defense early in the second half, and built their lead up to 17 points (44-27) with 12:48 left in the game. At one point, Hofstra went 16:23 without making a field goal. The Pride was able to get no closer than 10 points down the stretch, as Holy Cross cruised to the victory. The Crusaders held a 45-34 rebounding advantage on the night, while forcing 14 turnovers and holding Hofstra to just 26.5 percent shooting from the field. Alex Vander Baan finished the game with 10 points, 15 rebounds, three assists and three blocked shots, while Kyle Cruze added 10 points, two rebounds and two steals. The Pride was led by Antoine Agudio with 28 points on nine-of-23 shooting from the floor.
EVANS KEEPS ON SCORING: Junior guard R.J. Evans (Salem, Conn.) is once again among the top players in the Patriot League this season, but sat out the contest at Marist due to injury. In eight games played so far this season, he is averaging 9.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per contest, while hitting 46.3 percent (31 of 67) of his field goal attempts.

SHOTS FROM THE HEART: Holy Cross head coach Milan Brown and assistant coach Dan Engelstad are taking part in Shots from the Heart, a project created by CollegeInsider.com to help raise awareness for the growing problem of heart disease. Brown and Engelstad will compete against other college basketball coaches from around the nation in a free throw shooting tournament, which will benefit the American Heart Association. In the first round of the tournament, Brown defeated Ron Hunter of IUPUI 30-29, while Engelstad downed Notre Dame's Martin Inglesby 30-28. Brown now moves on to face Rick Stansbury of Mississippi State in the second round, while Engelstad will take on Rusty LaRue of Wake Forest.
BROWN ENTERS FIRST SEASON WITH THE CRUSADERS: Milan Brown is in his first season as the head men's basketball coach at Holy Cross in 2010-2011, with a record of 1-8. Brown earned his first victory with the Crusaders on Dec. 19, 2010, at Marist. The 16th head coach in the history of the program, he came to Holy Cross after spending the previous seven seasons as head coach at Mount St. Mary's. During his final three years at Mount St. Mary's, Brown led the Mountaineers to three straight winning seasons and a pair of postseason appearances. His teams posted a 54-44 record (.551) during those three years, including a 35-19 mark (.648) in Northeast Conference play. During the 2007-2008 campaign, Brown led Mount St. Mary's to the first NCAA Division I Tournament victory in school history, with a 69-60 win over Coppin State in the opening round. Brown's career collegiate head coaching record stands at 96-128 (.426).
TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE: This year marks the 92nd season of Holy Cross men's basketball. The Crusaders own an overall record of 1292-856 (.601), while making 24 postseason tournament appearances — 12 trips to the NCAA Tournament and 12 to the National Invitation Tournament. In the history of collegiate basketball, Holy Cross is one of only 16 schools to have won the NCAA Tournament (1946-1947) as well as the National Invitational Tournament (1953-1954). Throughout its history, Holy Cross has had six first team All-America selections, sent 10 players to the National Basketball Association, had four players inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, had 23 players drafted by professional teams, had three players go on to coach professionally, and had 15 players who have coached in college.
CRUSADERS REMAIN SOLID AT THE HART CENTER: Holy Cross currently owns an all-time record of 316-123 at the Hart Center, including an 0-3 mark so far this year. The Crusaders posted their 300th win in the building against Sacred Heart on Nov. 14, 2008. Holy Cross had a 23-game winning streak at the Hart Center from Feb. 15, 2006-Jan. 2, 2008, which was the longest streak in the history of the building and the sixth-longest home court winning streak in the nation at the time. In 2006-2007 the Crusaders posted a perfect 14-0 mark at the Hart Center, setting a school record for the most home victories since they moved into the building. During the Hart Center's history, Holy Cross has posted a winning record at home in 30 out of 35 seasons, while recording double-figure home victories 16 times. The Crusaders stand 103-31 at home since the beginning of the 2000-2001 season, including a 66-14 record against Patriot League foes.
KEISTER NAMED PRESEASON ALL-PATRIOT LEAGUE: Senior center Andrew Keister was selected to the preseason All-Patriot League team, in voting by the conference's head coaches and sports information directors. Keister was joined on the preseason all-conference team by Lehigh sophomore guard C.J. McCollum, Lafayette senior forward Jared Mintz, American senior forward Vlad Moldoveanu, Bucknell sophomore forward Mike Muscala and Navy junior guard Jordan Sugars. In addition, McCollum was selected as the preseason Player of the Year.
CRUSADERS PICKED FOURTH IN PRESEASON POLL: In the 2010-2011 Patriot League preseason poll, Holy Cross was picked to finish in fourth place in voting by the conference's head coaches and sports information directors. The Crusaders received 70 total points in the conference preseason poll, along with two first-place votes. American placed first in the poll with 79 total points and seven first-place votes, followed by Bucknell in second (76 points, three first-place votes) and Lafayette in third (73 points, two first-place votes).

Ruapehu District Council's (RDC) River Valley Community Engagement Model has won the Council-Community Relationships category at the 2012 SOLGM GHD Local Government Excellence Awards held in Auckland earlier this week (Tuesday 11 September 2012).
The River Valley Community Engagement Model was developed in response to the need to find a new approach for maintaining Ruapehu's rural road network to address community concerns around network management and assist deliver efficiencies of 6 to 8% to avoid the need to increase rates or a significant reduction in the levels of service
RDC Team Leader Land Transport, Warren Furner, said that Ruapehu rural communities had been expressing a number of frustrations with the management of the rural road network with council's land transport activity being seen as the most critical activity in ensuring their on-going viability and sustainability.
"The frustrations included issues with work priorities and where money was being spent, the inability of some roads to handle larger trucks adding to farm costs and decreasing productivity, as well as concerns around increasing tourism traffic volumes."
"Compounding these issues is a drop in government funding which will see RDC's Land Transport activity facing a $380,000 hit this financial year alone which is equivalent to a decrease in capital expenditure of $3.9 million over ten years," he said.
"A significant part of the answer to these issues has been provided by bringing rural communities in as a partner at the front of the decision making process to lead the identification and prioritizing of any safety, efficiency or reliability works required on local roads."
Mr Furner noted that this approach was termed the 'River Valley Community Engagement Model' in recognition of the unique communities of interest who live and work in Ruapehu's remote rural river valleys.Page
"Turning to our rural communities has helped RDC deliver a sustainable road network with the required efficiencies and desired levels of service within existing or diminishing resources."
"Using the local communities to identify and prioritise where work needs to be done helps ensure the most cost effective and efficient use of available funds."
"The programme provides a focus on doing the right repair at the right time to the right quality, rather than budget constraints encouraging short term solutions with greater long term costs and lower performance," he said.
Mr Furner added that the River Valley Model is enhanced by RDC having procurement policies that benefit local communities such as ensuring that wherever possible local rates are spent locally.
This approach to procurement develops capability and resilience in rural communities as it adds to the viability of local farms and enhances local skills and capabilities creating able farmers who are also capable contractors."
"It also helps to maintain rural communities by providing wider opportunities, maintaining school roles, active local sports clubs and social networks as well as helping to ensure that there is sufficient capability in remote community resources to deliver swift responses to emergency and civil defence events."
Mr Furner said that by connecting with rural communities on a more one to one basis and supporting those improved communications with other policies that support community well-being the River Valley model has improved outcomes for all Ruapehu communities.
"In doing so the model supports both Ruapehu's strategic objectives and those of the government's Road Maintenance Task Force for building a more productive, competitive NZ Inc.," he said.

Chapter 1 Prawn dependencies

Paul Fioravanti (13 posts)
In Chapter 1, when I set the Prawn dependency version in the gemspec to "0.12.0", as is written in the text, I get the following error when I access http://localhost:3000/home.pdf:
This was fixed for me when I changed the Prawn dependency version to "1.0.0.rc2". Not sure if this is belongs as an errata or if it's an issue specific to my environment so I'm posting it here in case anyone else has a similar issue.

Prawn 0.12.0 is from 2011. A lot has changed since then, so I suspect it should be written against rc2.

The 16th Annual Hollywood Film Awards gala took place at The Beverly Hilton Hotel last night, and we have some bona fide A-listers who kept the fashion flag flying very high. Marion Cotillard can always be counted to hit it out of the ballpark, and she did just that in a gorgeous, edgy midnight-blue Christian Dior dress with metallic silver pointed pumps by the same designers. She also totally pulled off that '40s hairstyle. Amy Adams also looked like a retro goddess with flowing titian hair and a fitted black Oscar de la Renta column with a mesh panel, with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, Tiffany jewels, and a YSL bag. Brava! The surprise entry on this list is Helen Hunt who went the sexy route in a slinky silver dress and strappy heels. Way to work it out, lady! While we're certain that these three really deserve to be up here, we have a couple of entries we're not quite so sure about, and need your help with.
Kerry Washington is so pretty and we love her black-and-white printed Monique Lhuillier dress. The Louis Vuitton shoes and clutch kind of ruin it for us, though. We feel the clutch clashes with the dress and the shoes are too twee for the whole thing. Then there's Clea Duvall in that very feminine pink, flowing gown. We're just not sure about that material sprouting out of her shoulders. Besides, we could not find one photograph of her smiling. That stone-faced expression is what she appeared to have on the entire time, and when one's wearing such a soft, draped, girly gown … you have to sell it.

After work on August 15th, 2008, Robert picked me up and said we were having a night away! We drove forty-five minutes to Huntington Beach and he surprised me by booking a room at the Hyatt! The first room we walked into smelt like smoke, so we went back downstairs and they upgraded our room to an ocean view - it was perfect!
That night, we had dinner at a restaurant on the beach, came back to the hotel and shared a glass of wine by an outdoor fire, and then called it a night. Before bed, he mentioned that he had a picnic planned in the morning with these amazing pastries and wanted to get on the beach before anyone was out there. So, we woke up the next morning around 8:00 AM and headed down to the beach. We found the perfect spot and started enjoying breakfast! Robert wouldn't let me open the pastries yet, so we enjoyed some fruit and orange juice. Right as the sun was making its way through the clouds, he said that it was time for the good stuff!
He gave me the smaller pastry box first. Inside were two chocolate cupcakes that were decorated. I was a little thrown off, not really understanding why we were going to eat cupcakes for breakfast, but I went with it and said how cute they were! Next, he gave me the larger box and said this one was specially made for me. I opened the white box to find white tissue paper surrounding a small white box that held the engagement ring. I immediately started crying when I saw the box. He took my hand, got on one knee and asked me to marry him. I couldn't have been surer of my answer!
After we hugged and kissed, he informed me that he had pressed record on his camera, so we don't have the view of us getting engaged, but we do have the audio and it is great to listen to! Later that day he said we had to go pick up a wedding present at someone's house. He made me close my eyes the whole way there. We got to the front door and I opened it up and heard, "Congratulations!" All of my family and close friends were there to celebrate with us! I, of course, started crying again! He had even got in touch with my best friend and Maid of Honor in Texas and had her come out! It was fabulous! Honestly, it was the best day of my life and I can't wait for the wedding day!

iPhone 5 to be announced in August, major hardware update?
According to BGR Apple will be announcing a much improved and updated iPhone 5 as early as August.
We have been told by a reliable source to expect a radical new case design for the upcoming iPhone, though we have not been given any additional details surrounding the design of the new iPhone case.
Lots of recent rumors have pointed to Apple releasing a small upgrade form the current iPhone 4; even going so far as to call it the iPhone 4S. Both This is My Next's iPhone 5 rumors, and now BGR's dispute that. Unless Apple is planning two new iPhones for 2011 (iPhone nano?), someone is going to have to make up their mind and soon.
BGR has also heard that it is possible Apple will hold the iPhone 5 announcement event at the beginning or middle of August with availability to follow as early as the end of August. TiPb has heard similar August rumblings from big box retail sources, but their information is usually hit and miss and hard to source. The major issue with an August timeframe is obviously Apple's announcement of a fall release of iOS 5. There is no way Apple will release a new iPhone prior to the release of iOS 5 -- at least every new iPhone to date has shipped with a new version of iOS.
Could Apple announce iPhone 5 in August and release it alongside iOS 5 in September? Would that make sense?

iPhone 5 to be announced in August, major hardware update?
They seem to be changing to going to a routine of separating hardware announcements from software announcements.
If this is the case then it may make sense that Apple would make a iPhone 5 announcement sometime in August with a Septemberish release. This would play into much of what has been said, i.e. Apple would not release a new iPhone with out new iOS. The slip in traditional dates may all line up with a new phone and OS by end of year.
Let's just hope the iPhone 5 hides some amzing things. Performance, design and features. As Caballera said(this is what I understood) the new iPhone won't be just a minor upgrade.
I agree
Maybe all iPhone 5's will be released in August with iOS5 and everyone else will have to wait till september to update to iOS5?
It's only geating old on a spec sheet on a piece of paper. My iPhone 4 still outperforms all these latest and greatest android phones with dual core this and 3D that, so I'd say it's still very much competitive in actual usage. Let's also not forget the iPhone 4's amazing battery life. I like being able to use my phone for more than 2 hours at a time.
i'm waiting for it ..will order it on day one
Without knowing what it will be? Seriously, go get your head checked. I don't care if it was Apple or RIM, no one should say with conviction they will buy a product not even announced.
This is part of the reason we had a recession...
Apple is to zoned in on these two issues to let that happen, I would not worry about that. They would not put out a device that has less performance or batter life unless it was a nano or other such lower end device. Like to Like models will have better if not the same spec from that comparison.
HAs anyone thought of the fact that they may move to a overall longer refresh cycle for releasing a new model phone? Ultimately the iOS is updatable at any point, but they may be looking to extend out their time as they can really get a longer run out of a model. I know people might say, "oh then everyone would run to the latest model Droid" but seriously. Hardly a year for a new model is a short window.
This is so true, some people get to wrapped up in specs. Specs can be a good way to make a base line comparison but should not be the end all to a devices evaluation or mark of its performance for a user.
Bring on the new hardware and bring back the curved back!
I hate that design also, lets just hope this is not the case, I love the 4's look and feel. I think that curved back is so ugly it would stop me from upgrading even if the phone coupled with the iOS was a 100% improvement over the 4.
I think iOS 3 came out 1 week before the 3GS Maybe this time they'll release the hardware first and then the software. You made a post about Apple releasing their Macs when the new OS is out. That has not been the case with their mobile devices but suppose it is this time around ?
Yes, it makes total sense. I can see Apple announcing the new iPhone 5 mid-August and releasing it mid-September.
They could announce it in August and release in September. Wasn't that how the original iPhone launched. Not the august to september, but it was announced awhile before it was released. I could see Apple doing that. Have an event in August teasing everyone this is what's coming next month. And push back it's iPod event a little further into September (or maybe even early October) so that they can have high numbers to display come that event. Actually I kinda hope that's what happens, with a new design. I'm still not a fan of this boxy/rectangle design lol
Hopefully it will be nice because the Samsung Galaxy S 2 looks like it may call me away from iPhones.
In perspective I would think you mean getting old in relation to other products. My iPhone 4 still does what I want it to do and has not lost any of its performance form when I first purchased it. Unless you are tying to run new applications that are pushing the existing limits of the phone and you are comparing this to other devices I would not consider it getting old. Technically the phone would last for years with out any issue, all depend on the individual user and what they are requiring their device to do.
On the other hand I agree with you, to keep up with the pack so to say they should be releasing a new device with iOS soon.
Well put TumnusMr

Kenova Volunteer Fire Department receives donation
KENOVA -- If Tim Bias had to describe the process of raising money to purchase two new ambulances for the Kenova Volunteer Fire Department, it would be "ask, and you shall receive."
That's because after months of asking for donations, Bias, the chief of the fire department, accepted a check for $25,000 from managers at the Braskem polypropylene plant during a ceremony Tuesday evening.
That money pushes the fundraising mark to $95,000, just less than half of the money the department needs to purchase the new ambulances, which cost $129,500 each, Bias said.
"Volunteer fire departments, generally speaking, don't have a lot of money anyway, so it's a pretty good undertaking for us to buy two ambulances at once," Bias said. "We found ourselves in a situation where we needed two, so that's what we're looking to buy."
Bias said one of the station's two ambulances was totaled in a wreck last year, and the second ambulance, a 2002 model, was aging quickly with more than 150,000 miles on it.
When he set off to raise funds for the ambulances late last year, Bias said he appealed to local businesses and residents, who sent in checks for $100, $500 and even up to $1,000 by the dozen.
After a few meetings with managers at Braskem, Bias said he heard in late December that the department would receive the $25,000.
Bias said the timing and some issues in ordering the ambulances had made it difficult to schedule the check presentation, but it was well worth the wait for Bias Tuesday night.
"They've been really nice throughout the whole ordeal, and they went above and beyond to help us out," Bias said. "I have thanked them over and over again. Without any of the people who've donated it would be hard for us to ever replace equipment."
Bias said he expects the new ambulances to become part of the department's fleet by July.

Newsroom Star Alison Pill Splits With Fiance Jay Baruchel
It looks like she's gone from "out of my league" to "out of my life" for Jay Baruchel, who's back on the market after splitting with fiancée, Alison Pill.
According to Us Weekly, the former Undeclared star, 30, and the Newsroom actress, 27, have called it quits after a two-year engagement, citing distance as the main factor that tore the lovebirds apart.
The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2010, have been the subject of breakup rumors since last month, when Jay posted a number of moody tweets, including, "Alone again, naturally. Heartbroken," and "Getting dumped rules," both of which he later deleted.
While rumors about relationship trouble hounded the pair after they canceled their September 2012 wedding, Jay explained in a recent interview, "Unfortunately, we're two busy people who are intrinsically lazy. So in our free time, the last thing we want to do is book flights and organize hotel rooms for people." He noted, "But it'll happen at some point."
At this point, it looks as though Jay's optimism is unfounded. Alison attended an event over the weekend without her engagement ring, and Us Weekly's source confirms that the couple are officially over.

Allen & Overy, Dorsey & Whitney, Letter from London, United Kingdom / Great Britain
Benedict Arnold was a general during the American Revolutionary War who started out in the Continental Army but later defected to the Brits. So when in the early 1990s U.S. lawyers Jeffrey Golden and Thomas Joyce quit, respectively, Cravath, Swaine & Moore and Dorsey & Whitney to join U.K. firms Allen & Overy (A&O) and Freshfields, the pair were jokingly likened to Arnold.
Having found themselves ostracised from their old club of U.S. securities lawyers, "The Ad Hoc Committee," in the wake of their traitorous moves, they founded a new association for the growing band of turncoats like them populating London firms. Its official name was "The Permanent Committee," but it quickly attracted the moniker, "The Benedict Arnold Society."
These days, with the one-man U.K. firm U.S. legal practices started by Golden and Joyce now employing hundreds of American lawyers, the Benedict Arnold Society is going stronger than ever; its Yank expat members meeting for dinners that go late into the night every month at the offices of their adopted British law firms.
Jeff Golden, who retired from A&O in 2010 and is now a professor at the London School of Economics (LSE), still sometimes struggles to believe the level of change that has taken place since he and Tom Joyce set up the club in 1993….
"I was at university in the 1960s, which we thought were really revolutionary times then. But in terms of rate of change, the bigger, more revolutionary transformation I've witnessed has been the last 20 years in the legal profession," Golden says.
One of a number of catalysts for this change was the scrapping of a U.K. rule in the early 90s that prevented English lawyers from partnering with non-English lawyers. This driver behind the decision was to create inter-European Union partnerships, but the effect was that a host of U.K. firms developed U.S legal practices.
At that time, the notion of a London law firms providing advice on U.S. law bordered on the outrageous. "To cross the lines 17 years ago without U.S. law firm infrastructure – for example, library support on U.S. law – was a pretty daunting prospect," recalls Golden, evoking a verse from Robert Frost poem, The Road Not Taken, by way of explanation for why he did it.
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
Golden adds that in its early days, the main achievement of the Benedict Arnold Society, apart providing a forum for the discussion of U.S. legal developments, was "to keep people brave, following their hearts, and reminding them not to underestimate the opportunities that being a pioneer often affords."
That pioneer spirit may have faded as U.S. practices at London firms have become entrenched, but the Society is still useful in providing new arrivals from the U.S. with support as they make the adjustment to London life. Brits' collective problem with alcohol and frequent tendency to be aloof in their dealings with new U.S. recruits are frequent topics of discussion. However, the lack of work ethic in the U.K. — once a notorious bugbear among Americans — is much less of an issue than it used to be as London has assumed a more New York-style culture over the last couple of decades.
In the future, though, with British giants like Allen & Overy and Linklaters shedding jobs, and the London offices of U.S. firms in growth mode, will the Benedict Arnold path continue to be so well trodden?
Golden – an anglophile who did part of his undergraduate studies at the LSE – concedes that the short term may be tough for U.K. firms, but reckons that, in the medium to long term, they will be fine. "I am very optimistic about the legal profession in this city. London has as strong a legal pedigree as anywhere else I can think of, and remains an exciting place to practise."
As for the Euro crisis, he optimistically predicts that "the speculated break-up of the Euro would, of course, throw up plenty of interesting legal issues and, rather than damaging business prospects, it could just as easily give lawyers lots to do and think about."
