Arsenal Message Board
Can Wenger build his greatest team?
The first great team under Wenger, he inherited to a large part although he did bring in great new additions, prolong careers and revolutionised training / playing.
The second great team came as players he bought in matured in some cases to greatness, other brilliant additions supplemented this team. The result - the Invincibles
Now - he is building a team I believe in his own image. He has started with blank canvasses and moulded players into what he wants them to be, hence no superstars signings and relaxation at older or unhappy players who have left. This is shaping into a team of young, hopefully hungry, pacy, technical ball players unhindered by tactics (possibly a strength or a weakness). I believe Wenger has more time for this current bunch as a team than any before them, I hope this loyalty will be reciprocated.
IF this team can learn, toughen up, improve finishing, stay together this could be his best team in his image, what he has always worked for.
Of course it could all go horribly wrong, a bad start, injuries, players or manager leaving etc.
I do not see us winning the EPL or CL next year - I think the best we can realistically hope for is substantial improvement on last year, narrowing of gaps and them maybe something the year after if the team develops.
Inspite of what others are spending and how far ahead they appear to be, can this be the team that proves beyond doubt Wengers greatness? Or will it prove evidence he is blinkered, inflexible and self indulgant?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
they also won nothing don't you mean 03 04
Hi dave,i get your point about arsene hand picking this current squad of players,but i also think the 2002-03 team was also handpicked;with the exception being the peerless bergkamp.
I'd be extremely happy if this current team can go on a emulate the previous team.
Although (as previously stated by someone)the 02-03 side didn't do that well in the champions league,it was due,in part,to the quality of opposition they faced.
A Yahoo! User Aug 2, 2007 20:53 Flag
ok i get your point wotzfree, but what team has been weaker than this under AW? its weakness certainly stems from its overwhelming lack of inexperience, thats for sure
I don't think this team is entirely the result of a strategy that Wenger embarked on three-four years ago, when plans for the new stadium were green-lighted, and he knew he has heading into a period where money would be tighter, and where success would, at the same time, be demanded.
I disagree that this side is the weakest we have had - but it is the most inexperienced - and the interesting thing is - only a handful of them have any pedigree other than that which they have established with Arsenal. (Hleb, Gallas, Rosicky, Jens, Sagna)
Think of :
Van Persie
.......... none of them really had any 'reputations', to speak of, before they joined Arsenal - so the project is entirely different to any that AW has undertaken before. If I were looking for a modern day comparison, I'd suggest that Sir Fergie's first great side - with Becks, the Nevilles, Scholes, Giggs, Sharpe, et al was probably the closest example of where one of the big clubs tried to build a team around a core group of young players.
If AW pull this one off - it will far and away be his greatest achievement.
(and with at least a half dozen other kids waiting in the wings, there's every chance that the success can continue for years to come).

I think the simple truth is players that lack the technically abilities and flair tend to makeup for these lack of skills with an aggressiveness only seen in those types of players, therefore it is inconclusive to argue that English players are more aggressive and determined to win than the foreign compatriots players. After all if you have the skills why limit your abilities to the domestic league only and not Europe or the international tournaments.
A Yahoo! User Aug 2, 2007 16:25 Flag
Just a thought here, and i will be ready to get slammed for even just bringing it up. BUT,
dont you find it odd how the arsenal teams of old where we had more english players did better in the premiership and the arsenal teams of new with all foreign based except for a couple of exceptions has done better in the CL and worse in the premiership.
Is this because English players are more passionate about their countrys premier league and want to be recognised as being the best team in their countrys league, whereas the foreign players seek to gain their recognision throughout the remaining major european countrys.
Just think about the passion you used to see from players like Keown, Cambell, Adams, Seamen, Wright, Parlour, i dont think i have seen any player in our current team show as much passion as these guys did when they were at our club.
This is just a point of and it is just my opinion so if any of you disagree thats fine, but dont go accusing me of being a bad supporter etc like some people that have critised our team have been labelled.

I'm sure if the AFC team win either the CL in 2007/08 (with vast improvements in the EPL) or win the EPL in 2007/08 (with vast improvements in the CL in 2007/08), everyone here would join the bandwagon and start making the comparison with the Invincibles team or calling them the "greatest team" Wenger has ever produced.
To answer the question, I think the new team being built by Wenger are progressing very fast indeed, and fans should try to exercise some patience rather than being too critical and willing to knock Wenger at the slightest opportunity. We've got to let go and face the fact that the Henry /Veira /Pires /Bergkamp era is gone and it's not good going on and on about that team.
We have a new team which can emulate or even better than Invincibles team, after all with all their greatness and abilities the Invincibles failed miserably in the CL year after year, and only a lesser AFC team that includes the likes of Flamini, Senderos, Clichy, Cesc, etc made us proud by going to the limit, only to be undone by Barcelona, the greatest team in the World in 2005/06 season. The same thing cannot be said by AC Milan who won the CL in 2006/07 season, had we being lucky and drawn Milan in that CL final, who knows what might have happened.
It's about time we start having confidence in the team and wish them luck in the upcoming campaign in 2007/08 season.
The reason arsenal's team has a slightly older average age is because lehman(age 37)is in the team.....this brings our average age up a bit.
A Yahoo! User Aug 2, 2007 02:00 Flag
I don't see why not. Anyone see the article the other day in the Daily Mirror? Was saying about Ferguson's young team of 1995 I think it was (not sure though), who, without Cantona had a younger average age than Arsenal of today, maybe we can emulate Fergie's success with that squad and make the critics eat their words.
chill out there... Wenger isn't God you know!

MB-D11 w/ L-bracket?
I am considering getting an MB-D11 for my D7000 - I am finding I am taking enough portrait-oriented shots where this might come in handy. I currently have the Kirk L-bracket for the D7K (w/out the grip) and was wondering if I should get a version of the bracket that fits over the grip or not? When I do use a tripod, I tend to use it with my smaller lenses (Sigma 17-70 or Nikon 35mm), and thus utilize the L-bracket to swap back and forth between portrait/landscape. (On a rare occasion I have my Sigma 70-200mm on - but then I use the tripod collar on that instead of the L-bracket.)
(FYI: I have both the wired- and wireless remote, so I never touch the shutter button when on the tripod...)
My first thought is that I'd probably use the MB-D11 grip only when handheld and then replace it with the Kirk L-bracket when going to tripod mode. But on second thought I was concerned about the wear-and-tear of "constantly" (ok, "occasionally") doing the swap. (And thus, should look into the L-bracket for the D7K w/ the grip.)
Any thoughts?

I've got the grip and the bracket (an RRS version). Two thoughts.
Putting on or removing a grip takes a bit of time.
Putting on or removing the bracket takes far less.
So, you should consider your preferences. But one thing in favor of leaving the grip on while shooting in Portrait mode is that the controls are now at the top.
In my use of this gear, I can fit the camera with grip in my camera bag. It' a snug fit, but works. The addition of a bracket makes it a real challenge.
But the camera with bracket only fits in fine.

Thanks Gary - some helpful information there (hadn't thought about packing it in my bag). I'm also concerned about stability: how does the D7K + grip + L-bracket do on a tripod versus D7K + L-bracket w/out the grip attached? I'm a bit concerned that the added grip will add some "torque" (not sure that's the right term) by changing the center of gravity and moving the weight around.

If you look at the ballhead videos at the Really Right Stuff website, one of the things they demonstrate is precisely what you ask.
example a) No L bracket, but using the ballhead drop down for portrait. The cg (center of gravity), is thrown way off. With real heavy lens, it is worse. yet
example b) L bracket. The ballhead is set normally, so even with the camera in Portrait mode, the CG is fine.
That's why we spend the big bucks for this equipment.
Having a steady, solid tripod is helpful in this regard.

|"Action Comics" #863 on sale now
We spoke earlier with Johns about the developments in âGreen Lantern,â and in the coming days weâll spotlight âJustice Society of Americaâ and âBooster Gold.â Right now, we follow up with âAction Comics.â
But first things first. If you havenât yet read âAction Comicsâ #863 , you may want to hold off with reading this installment of INFINITE GEOFF JOHNS, for spoilers do follow.
On sale today is âAction Comicsâ #863, the grand finale to the six-part âSuperman and the Legion of Super-Heroesâ arc. The issue concludes with a two-page teaser âtrailerâ of sorts for âFinal Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds,â a five-issue miniseries by Johns and legendary artist George Perez (âCrisis on Infinite Earths,â âNew Teen Titansâ), shipping in August.
âItâs very much like the âBlackest Nightâ trailer,â Geoff Johns told CBR News, referring to a similar device used in the conclusion of his hugely popular âSinestro Corps Warâ storyline in âGreen Lantern. âItâs Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes and Superboy-Prime and Legion of Super-Villains battling it out in the 31st century. Once you see the images, you will probably want to check it. They are big pages and really freaking cool.
|From "Action Comics" #863, the "Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds" teaser
âAfter [the Legion arc in] âAction Comics,â I wanted to work with them some more. I was already wondering where can I work with them some more and this kind of grew organically out of what I wanted to do. This was the next step, as was bringing in Superboy-Prime.â
Superboy-Prime, the only survivor of an alternate universe completely destroyed in âCrisis on Infinite Earths,â was of course a major player in Johnsâ epic âInfinite Crisisâ and âSinestro Corps War.â Prime believes the heroes of Earth -- especially Superman -- donât live up to his dubious standards of heroism, and has waged a notably violent war against them ever since he returned from limbo in âInfinite Crisis.â
âSuperboy-Prime is the most wicked, vile, terrible, funny, horrible villain there is. And heâs so easy to write,â laughed Johns. âI just really enjoy writing him because heâs just this sadistic kid who just doesnât get it. He just doesnât get it, no matter what. Heâs almost delusional. Heâs so self-important. And heâs über-powerful. And he also has a very tragic background. If things had gone another way, maybe he wouldnât have gone this way. Maybe if he had been coached a little bit differently by somebody else, it would have worked out for him but it just hasnât so far.â
|Covers for the "Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes" storyline
As Johns is wont to do, he likes to keep his characters all in the family, in this case, his books. And while he says âFinal Crisis: Legion of Three Worldsâ grew out of his âAction Comicsâ organically, he admits he has known Superboy-Prime would be front and center in the new series ever since he was cast in âSinestro Corps War.â
âThis really grows out of DC Comics in general, and it grows out of everything else,â said Johns. âYouâve got Superboy-Prime in it. Youâve got Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes characters in it. And âLegion of Three Worldsâ obviously suggests that there is Legions from three worlds in it. Like you said, itâs a little universe of books. Well this is just a natural extension of what I have been working on. And what I have been building towards. What have I been writing? I have been writing with Green Lantern and Superboy-Prime and Legion of Super-Heroes, it all just kind of keeps going.â
|Covers for the "Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes" storyline
Asked if, aside from âFinal Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds,â any of his other titles would tie into Grant Morrison and JG Jonesâ âFinal Crisis,â Johns simply said, âYes.â
And would he share which ones?
With a laugh, he said, âNo, not yet.â
Returning to âAction Comics,â next monthâs issue #864 is an epilogue to the Legion arc and it deals with Batman, Superman and Lightning Lad. âIt acknowledges everything that is going on right now with the Legion and pushes it forward and then wraps everything up so we can start ramping up to âBrainiac.ââ
|"Action Comics" #864
Johns also confirmed that in October, âAction Comicsâ and James Robinsonâs âSupermanâ would hook up and start crossing over more fluidly on a regular basis, making the two books -- for all intents and purposes -- a bi-weekly series.
âThe âBrainiacâ arc and his storyline âAtlasâ both end around the same time and then we are going to be joining forces for good starting in October,â explained Johns. âWe are working together and having some real fun with it. There is some major stuff that happens in the âBrainiac arcâ and stuff that happens in âAtlasâ that both play into where we are going, so everything is on the same track.
âBeyond that, I donât want to get into it too much, because itâs a bit early. But I can say our goal is to make âSupermanâ and âActionâ books that you HAVE to read, that you WANT to read; books that are high-quality and delivering some really big stories that all are about Superman. Instead of about everybody else, they are about Superman and hopefully weâll succeed.â
But before four issues of âBrainiacâ and long before he and Robinson form a united front against injustice, Geoff Johns has Supes facing off against one of his oldest foes -- Winslow Schott, the original Toyman -- in âAction Comicsâ #865 with guest art by Jesus Merino and a cover by Kevin Maguire.
|The original Toyman returns in "Action Comics" #865
Toyman was originally introduced 801 issues prior to his upcoming appearance, in âAction Comicsâ #64 in September 1943. âI love villains,â declared Johns. âI loved doing the Roguesâ issues when I was on âThe Flashâ, with Captain Cold and everybody. Iâve always had a huge affinity for Toyman and better yet, I had a story for him. I always looked at him and asked, âWhy in the world is he fighting Superman?â It makes no sense. He is guy who makes toy gadgets. Heâs got a gimmick, like some of these other guys, but I had an angle that I wanted to explore.
âThere are two types of people in the world -- Superman people and Batman people. Toyman prefers Superman. And thatâs just he way he is. He likes bright colors. He likes the sunny city. He likes Metropolis. He doesnât like Gotham. He thinks he belongs in the bright, shiny place even though, deep down, heâs really psychologically mixed up. And so he keeps getting dragged back to Arkham when he wants to be just in the light. I had a story for him and what I wanted to do with him is going to play out in âSupermanâ and âAction Comicsâ later on and so I really just wanted to tell a cool, one-issue Toyman story. I wanted to re-introduce him. But I am also fleshing out his background. He really doesnât have much of a background, so I have gone in and really fleshed it out and hopefully made him into somebody people want to see and follow.
âJames really loved the script and we came up with the storyline that comes out of it, which in turn, plays itself in what we have planned for later in the books.â
Toyman also presents Johns with an interesting test for his writing chops: âI like telling the story of the Superman villain with no powers,â the writer said. âItâs really fun working with a villain, who thinks he can beat Superman and he canât. How in the world does Toyman think heâs going to stop Superman? Well, he has one thing he can do and itâs focused on heavily in the book. There is one thing he can do, one talent that he has that makes him able to take on Superman.â
|"Action Comics" #866
The writer also warned, as was previously teased, that readers should not treat #864 as a fill-in or one-shot.âTowards the end, there will actually be a character returning to the books to the Superman mythos,â said Johns. âSo it actually DOES roll into our first part of the âBrainiacâ arc.â
And for those scoring at home, Johnsâ Brainiac is no David. Of the villain first introduced fifty years ago in âAction Comicsâ #242, Johns said, âBrainiac is as physical as he is mental in the way we are going to portray him. There is a reason that Brainiac became such an important villain to Superman. Heâs the alien that Superman isnât. And I think thatâs an important thing to keep reminding people. Superman is an alien but look how human he is. Even though he thinks heâs an alien. And he is alien. He is much more human than sometimes he gives himself credit for.
âBrainiac, on the other hand, is going to be re-introduced in a very different way. Weâre taking everything into account thatâs happened before but weâre really trying to push the creepy angle, a little bit of horror in there because Brainiac is really scary.
âI want to explore the dichotomy between Brainiac and Superman, like I wanted to explore the dichotomy of General Zod and Superman and the dichotomy of Bizarro and Superman and the dichotomy of Polar Boy and Superman in the âLegionâ arc. Polar Boy probably shares more with Superman than any other Legionnaire, even though they donât connect as much as some others. But looking at Superman and Brainiac, and trying to find a new angle to a character that has been around for so long.
|Johns' & Richard Donner's and Adam Kubert's "Last Son" arc concludes April 9 in "Action Comics Annual" #11, with a hardcover collection to follow in June
Johns said he loves re-imaging and re-introducing Supermanâs earliest and in most cases, fiercest foes in the pages of âAction Comics,â but his greatest personal reward is working on the title with the ultra-talented Gary Frank (âMidnight Nation,â âSupreme Powerâ). âI have wanted to work with Gary on a consistent basis on something for years and years,â said Johns. âAnd the fact that we are happy with the collaboration and how well itâs going and that people have liked it is a thrill. Not to mention that people who maybe didnât know the Legion of Super-Heroes or havenât given them a chance are getting into these characters is also extremely satisfying.
âI hope we can do the same thing to every character that we touch on with Superman. Itâs hard but working with a guy like Gary is what, for me, makes it a success. And if he and I are proud of it, I think people will like it. Gary is the absolute perfect guy on Superman for me. There is both a Curt Swan and a Christopher Reeve to his work. And he also brings his own A-game and you can just see a very clean, classic, realistic Superman and I really respond to his art. His figure drawing is amazing. His action is amazing. His humor and emotions are amazing.

âWhen I get the pages, it just brightens my day.â
Giving one last tease of things to come, Johns said, âGaryâs details are crazy. Brainiacâs ship is amazing. Gary said, âItâs so complex, I donât know how many times I have to draw this but I shouldnât have made it this complex.â If they do a movie with Brainiac in it, they would just steal his design because itâs perfect.â
Donât forget to return tomorrow for INFINITE GEOFF JOHNS III: âJustice Society of America.â

NEW BEDFORD — The law offices of former Mayor Scott W. Lang's firm were burglarized and a small amount of cash was stolen, police said.
The break into the offices of Lang, Xifaras and Bullard, 115 Orchard St., occurred overnight between Thursday and Friday, according to Detective Capt. Steven Vicente, head of the Major Crimes Unit.
Offices on the first floor were ransacked, but it doesn't appear Lang's law office was entered, Vicente said. He said the break was discovered at 8:15 a.m. Friday when an employee arrived for work.
Vicente said no arrest has been made and the break remains under investigation.
Lang said today police responded immediately when the building's silent alarm went off about 2 a.m. Friday.
He said there was no damage to the building and the law firm is planning additional security measures.

I have created a category on my wordpress installation which is called new arrivals. Now in this category I want to show ALL posts from all my other categories - kind of like what you would find on your homepage. So I created a new category template file called category-new-arrivals.php and then put this code in it:
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
'paged' => $paged,
'category__not_in' => array(-1),
'posts_per_page' => 50,
When I load the category the first page works fine, as it shows 50 items (default is 40) and posts from every category (minus the one excluded).
However when I move to /new-arrivals/page/2/ I get a 404 not found page even though I check for the page number at the start and use it in the query_posts
Can anyone explain why this is happening and how to fix it?

Minnesota Republican Rep. Chip Cravaack is pushing for legislation to roll back the EPA's ability to promulgate federal air visibility guidelines.
Cravaack's H.R. 6507 would compel the agency to approve Minnesota Pollution Control Agency plans for dealing with regional haze. The agency would also temporarily be prohibited from pre-empting state standards.
The legislation focuses on processing facilities for taconite, a certain type of iron deposit that helps fuel the economy in Cravaack's northeastern Minnesota district. In August, EPA proposed rules targeting emissions from those facilities.
The agency said best available retrofit technology, or BART, "is a requirement of EPA's regional haze rule which has not been satisfied by Minnesota or Michigan for its subject taconite plants."
In other words, the plans don't do enough to pressure taconite processors into reducing their impact on visibility.
"The Environmental Protection Agency determined that because one taconite facility was able to make use of low [nitrogen oxide] burners to reduce emissions," the bill says, "that low NOx burners should be considered BART for all taconite facilities, and that many facilities should add this technology within 18 months."
The debate is a familiar one, with environmental advocates calling for strict guidelines while critics accuse EPA of trying to implement an unworkable, one-size-fits-all approach.
Cravaack in a statement said, "This federal regulation ignores years of research by the MPCA and neglects to account for the years it can take to plan, test and perfect modifications to these highly specialized taconite furnaces."
Republicans have made several attempts at blocking EPA enforcement of haze rules, meant to protect visibility near national parks and wilderness areas. Last month, the House passed a pro-coal bill with amendments limiting agency oversight related to haze issues and giving more power to states.
Top campaign issue
Cravaack, who unseated long-term Democratic Rep. Jim Oberstar during the 2010 midterm elections, has worked on developing a pro-mining brand.
Last month, the House passed his H.R. 5544, a land-swap deal between the state and the federal government, which critics said could benefit mining interests (E&E Daily, Sept. 13).
Mining has also become a top issue in Cravaack's race with former Democratic Rep. Rick Nolan, who served between 1975 and 1981 and is looking to make a Capitol Hill comeback. Both candidates are boosting taconite operations along with a flurry of other exploration and development projects around the Great Lakes.
Mining interests have generally sided with the GOP incumbent. Since last year, Cravaack has received at least $4,000 from the National Mining Association, another $4,000 from United States Steel Corp., and at least $2,000 from steel and mining giant ArcelorMittal SA. Both companies have operations in Minnesota.
A recent ad by political action committee American Action Network said of Cravaack's opponent: "Northern Minnesota needs jobs, but the EPA has stood in their way. And Rick Nolan is on their side."
For his part, Nolan has accused Cravaack of being a tea party extremist. The Democrat, who says he supports mining jobs, also got a recent boost from an endorsement by the United Steelworkers union.
"We need to change the way we do our politics," Nolan said in one of his campaign ads. "Money is corroding the system, and the middle class is getting crushed."
The race is one of the country's top magnets for outside and party spending. The Rothenberg Political Report ranks the race among the most competitive.
2 thoughts on "Minnesota lawmaker aims to roll back EPA regional haze powers"
IMO the jet transport industries polute and make atmospheric haze at levels far in excess of any mining industry. All industries need regulation and oversight of their polution levels, to be sure. But make no mistake, the "jet setters" are loath to criticize the "irresponsibility" of their favored means of transportation. Jet con-trails and the associated "atmospheric haze afect" do a great deal to limit the solar irradiance on a world economy that is moving toward a dependance on more direct solar energy adoption, as well as all the uses that life itself has always depended upon to actually exist. The sacrifice of "quality of life" for economic comfort shows little recognition of our true identity and our will to embrace truth in favor of illusions.
I would have to agree with Nolan on this point, Minnesota mining will be crushed by the environmental extremist dollars that support him if he is elected. The extremist policies he is beholden to will be the death of this industry. Our middle class here will indeed be crushed, he is right about that.

Advice for Cambodia to Indonesia for beach/jungle
Advice for Cambodia to Indonesia for beach/jungle
Can anyone tell me of this is possible? We are going to Saigon, then Siem Reap. From there, is there somewhere that is a days travel away in Indonesia that would get us to a beach/ jungle setting. Looking for an environmentally responsible place for swimming,birding, fishing, hiking, snorkeling.
Don't want A/C or TV, but don't want a tent or a buggy cabana.
Am I dreaming?
Thank you for any suggestions.

Easy. Pulau Weh at the northern end of Sumatra. Jungle, beach, snorkel, birds, beach huts. The X-factor is checking to see if flights from Siem Reap match up with flights to Banda Aceh. Just checked. Some flights match up with a 1h 40m change over. Cutting it really fine, but possible if you're not checking luggage.
Other than that, you are going to be struggling. Look at flights to Manado, Bali or Lombok.

In Kuala Lumpur. Well that is the most common place to change planes in southeast Asia because of the regularity and price of Air Asia. I guess there might be flights transiting places like Medan as well, but that would be more difficult to get to from Siem Reap.

This Saturday morning, members of at least 33 congregations across the county are gathering at Lancaster's Historic Courthouse in what is expected to be a prayer demonstration that's the first of its kind in Lancaster.
It's called Lancaster's Citywide Unity Prayer Rally and is sponsored by the Lancaster Division of My Hope with Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
The goal is to unite the county in spiritual purpose.
Retiring Lancaster Fire Chief Chuck Small was named the state's top fire chief this past weekend during the 2016 S.C. State Association of Fire Chiefs Leadership Conference in Myrtle Beach.
Small, who announced his retirement in late May after 38 years on the job due to health concerns, received the 2016 Fritz Turner Award on Saturday.
GREAT FALLS – Town of Great Falls employees will get a 4 percent raise if the proposed $1,097,672 budget gains second-reading approval. The proposed budget gained unanimous approval at the May 16 meeting.
Councilman Glenn Smith said the budget contains no tax increase.
Instead, a $1 monthly garbage fee increase will be added.
"We chose not to raise taxes, but garbage fees will go up $1 a month. It has been eight years since garbage fees were adjusted," Smith said.
Mary Ann Hudson, Lancaster County Voter Registration and Election Commission director, said polls for the statewide primaries will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.
If you are in line when the polls close at 7 p.m., you will be allowed to cast a ballot.
Voters who cannot read or have a physical disability that makes it difficult or impossible to operate a voting machine can solicit help from a poll worker.
Since S.C. residents don't register to vote by political party, anyone may vote in the statewide primary.
Early indications point toward low turnout in Lancaster County for Tuesday's primary vote, which increases the likelihood of runoff elections for county auditor and county council District 1.
As of noon Friday, less than 300 absentee ballots had been cast, said Mary Ann Hudson, the county's elections director.
Absentee ballots, she said, have always been an accurate gauge of voter interest, and such low numbers don't support a large turnout.
That has Hudson anticipating runoffs in both the county council and auditor's races.
Jerry Holt's backers jumped to his defense this week, saying his ejection from the county planning commission spotlights a long-boiling dispute between Lancaster County's desire for development and Panhandle residents' insistence that growth be controlled.
From craft beer brewing and barbecue to board sawing, honeybees and historic buildings, the local, self-guided S.C. Ag+Art Tour has found its niche.
The annual tour, which features local artisans, products, farms and some hidden county treasures, is drawing locals and out-of-towners, alike.
Now in its ninth year, Lancaster is one of nine Palmetto State counties getting in on the agri-tourism act.
Two people were killed and several others were hurt in a horrendous five-car crash early Saturday in Indian Land.
S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Tony Keller said the wreck happened about 1 a.m. on U.S. 521 North between Henry Harris and Charles Pettus roads.
Keller said the wreck was so serious that troopers have not been able nail down the exact circumstances.
The Lancaster Police Department is investigating a rash of car break-ins overnight Tuesday in one neighborhood between Forest Hills and S.C. 9 Bypass West.
Police Capt. Scott Grant confirmed Wednesday morning there were at least seven vehicle break-ins reported on Rugby Road. West Glen and Sumter and Kent drives.
The incidents happened between midnight Tuesday and 6 a.m. Wednesday.
Items stolen included most anything of value "that people usually leave in their cars," such as electronics, cellphones, money and firearms, Grant said.
HEATH SPRINGS – Heath Springs Town Council unanimously selected a painting contractor for the historic railroad depot at a special meeting Wednesday.
After discussing four contractors, town council accepted the $6,500 bid of B&W Painting Co. of Charlotte. The work includes pressure-washing, priming, a new coat of slate-gray paint, and reglazing windows where needed.
B&W Painting repainted Springs House on West Gay Street in downtown Lancaster last month.

Orson Scott Card's Xenocide is a space opera with verve. In this continuation of Ender Wiggin's story, the Starways Congress has sent a fleet to immolate the rebellious planet of Lusitania, home to the alien race of pequeninos, and home to Ender Wiggin and his family. Concealed on Lusitania is the only remaining Hive Queen, who holds a secret that may save or destroy humanity throughout the galaxy. Familiar characters from the previous novels continue to grapple with religious conflicts and family squabbles while inventing faster-than-light travel and miraculous virus treatments. Throw into the mix an entire planet of mad geniuses and a self-aware computer who wants to be a martyr, and it's hard to guess who will topple the first domino. Due to the densely woven and melodramatic nature of the story, newcomers to Ender's tale will want to start reading this series with the first books, Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead. --Brooks Peck
From Publishers Weekly
As the penultimate story in the series that began with the impeccable Ender's Game, this volume is essential for fans but neither the book nor audio rise to the level of the first two volumes. The planet Lusitania is home to a small Portuguese colony, a newly discovered sentient race called the Pequininos, the last surviving Hive Queen of the Buggers, and Descolada, a virus that will destroy the human race if it gets off-planet. Because of the virus, a starship fleet is dispatched to destroy Lusitania. On the distant Chinese world of Path, a young pious girl influences history by uncovering secrets kept well-buried for millennia and in the process sealing the fate of both Lusitania and Path. The sanctimonious tone used by the girl's reader has great depth and fits the character so perfectly that she creates a fully dimensional, aggravating character. The pacing is as uneven as the cast's ability to maintain their Chinese and Portuguese accents. The music is randomly placed throughout and loses its effectiveness. A great deal of talent went into this production and while the good parts dominate, this is still a weaker effort in the series. Available as a TOR paperback. (Mar.)

Jil Sander Pulls at Fashion's Heart Strings
The Jil Sander label pulled at the heart strings –- and maybe purse strings –- of the fashion world with a fringe-themed show this morning.
Set against a pure white backdrop, the clothes were at their best in movement. Before fashion shows became media events -– in the days when wealthy customers came to order the looks they liked -– shows were staged because clothes look better on a model sashaying down a catwalk than they do hanging limply from a rack. That was the case at Jil Sander where long strings attached to dresses -– strung across the chest and back in a large dip, or ankle-length over a sleeveless mini-dress –- swayed with every step.
As in past seasons, head Jil Sander designer Raf Simons used straight cuts that don't hug the body. That shape suits Japanese women particularly well, something sure to please the label's new owner, Japanese apparel maker Onward Holdings Co. Ltd.
More good news for Onward is a licensing deal for a jewelry line announced this morning between Jil Sander and Damiani SpA. Some earrings and bracelets were previewed in the show –- such as spikes shooting out of the ear lobe, and single earrings worn only on the right ear.
The jewelry deal is just one of several new licensing agreements lined up for next year, including eyewear and beachwear. It's a wise move even for a minimalist label like Jil Sander, as many women accessorize their outfits more than Mr. Simons does. — Christina Passariello

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- Perhaps the hardest mission an American soldier faces after surviving a trip to war is returning home and adjusting to "normal" life.
It's something that Grand Junction resident, and Iraq-war vet Edward Carey still deals with more than 3 years after coming back home. "Some days are good, some days are bad," Carey said. "If it weren't for the [Grand Junction] V.A. and some of their programs, I'd still be isolated at home."
Veterans that return as amputees suffer even further discomfort. The accumulation of all instability is what ultimately led Montrose resident Melanie Kline to start a grassroots movement called "Welcome Home Montrose."
The project is designed to help make the process of returning home easier and more veteran-friendly, especially for disabled vets. "When it comes to the understanding that they don't have all that we have after all they've been given, that's not okay," said Kline.
Although Kline's project is still in its primary stages, it is receiving support from all over the Montrose community and the entire state of Colorado. Kline reports that she has been in contact with CO Congressman Scott Tipton, and she says that Tipton even listed the movement on his Facebook page on Thursday.
Kline hopes that her movement will help Montrose become a more veteran-supportive community that will offer: physical, financial, mental, and physical aid to veterans, as well as helping supply them with purpose, meaning, faith, inspiration, family, friends, recreation, and relaxation.

Cleaning staff were loud, bashing on the floor with vacuum cleaners, slamming doors. Other guests would retaliate for the fact they did this and the fact you have to put up with this going on. I had people bashing on my headboard, staff actually pounding on the walls in a storage area so hard the headboard hits my head, or do so in a room adjacent to mine. Saying hello to other staff has them just glare back at you as though you are a leper or something.
Kitchen floors were covered with black crud and the one time she snuck in despite my not wanting cleaning, she made the floor dirty by cleaning it since I had it cleaned by hand. The floors are flaking off all this plastic stuff that looks like skin peeling all over the place it is sickening.
There was abusive other guests who'd slam doors open and closed over and over and over again. Slam kitchen cabinets closed at 4am so loudly they wake me up, hard to do. Very hard to do. I sleep like a dead man. Bash on the floor for hours at 3am, ride a Harley out of the lot at 4am so loud it sets off car alarms, do so at 80mph, and you get the idea.
Staff does nothing to enforce policy it posts about dogs, noise, advertising in the lot, lots of junk cars sitting in the lot some with advertising on them for credit repair etc.
You basically have a bunch of red necks living here, when I complained about the abuse from upstairs I was told they have some kind of different work schedule and did I want to move? Why should I?
I had other guests bash on my door, kick on my door, run into it with luggage carts, and so on. Some of the guests there are a mix between insane asylum escapees and career felons on the lam looking like they'd be murdering everyone once they were done selling and smoking all their dope.
Really, I'd avoid this place at all costs. Not a good place. At all.

Electricity is the new hydrogen, at least as far as Ford is concerned.
Ford now feels that the future of automotive propulsion lies in electricity, not fuel cells or ethanol, according to Derrick Kuzak, the company's product development chief.
Kuzak said hydrogen fuel cell transportation, which Ford, other automakers and politicians have long cast as a panacea to our energy problems, is not practical due to the massive infrastructure changes it would require. In contrast, he said, electric cars could run off the nation's existing power grid.
Ford is not alone in its sudden embrace of electricity. Toyota recently announced its plans to build a pure electric vehicle for the Japanese market, and GM's 2010 Chevrolet Volt will run on batteries with an engine serving only as a back-up generator. Kuzak also said he was skeptical of the long-term viability of gas-electric hybrids, given the cost of incorporating two powertrains for relatively minor fuel efficiency gains.
Pure electric vehicles remain a challenge for automakers due to their short range. Kuzak said Ford will continue to develop all forms of alternative fuel transportation.

Kracker Flats, a story of a family living in an affluent, deed restricted community, trapped after hurricane Kate levels Tampa Bay. To survive, they must rely upon a band of indigents living in a Hudson, Florida junkyard.
For Immediate Press Release
Kracker Flats
New Port Richey Author Publishes Florida Hurricane Novel
Mario Iezzoni recently penned his second novel, Kracker Flats, a story of a family living in an affluent, deed restricted community, trapped after hurricane Kate strikes Tampa Bay. To survive, they must rely upon a band of indigents living in a Hudson, Florida junkyard.
"I wanted to write something local, along the lines of Carl Hiassen's quirky stories," said Mario, a New Port Richey resident. "It starts with a poker game in the Matador Room at the Hacienda Hotel in New Port Richey. There is wager a between a crafty old lady, a Pasco County Commissioner, and a landowner with a fishbone permanently stuck in his throat. But the bet isn't money. It's for title to a limestone mine, a permit to build a flea market, and a signed marriage certificate."
The story came to Mario during hurricane Charley, when it was predicted to strike New Port Richey, but missed.
"I expected the lights to go out any second," Mario said. "And it got me thinking. How would my neighbors survive should a hurricane make a direct hit, isolating Pasco County residents for a prolonged period? I bet not very well."
Mario says the plot took on a colorful twist when he included, Krackers—the community of indigents you often see milling along Highway 19, panhandling, pushing shopping carts loaded with belongings. "For them, each day was about scrounging enough beer and cigarette money to last the weekend. Nothing else mattered. They seemed best suited to survive a hurricane, since they were already hardened individuals. How could their lives get any worse?"
"As I wrote this story, it became a bit too serious," Mario said. "My protagonist, Marci Lindum, living in her pristine Trinity Meadows neighborhood, started focusing on what was wrong with her marriage as the hurricane approached. And Dale Carter, riding out the storm in his junkyard, reeling from the recent death of his mother, longed for a lost love . . . So I spiced it up with a decrepit alligator with missing teeth that attacks when you're not expecting it. I added deformed piglets, that a Kracker named Critter breeds and sells to the carnies for freak shows. And a flea market that becomes the central place to barter for pilfered storm debris."
The person Mario thinks readers will enjoy is Fifty-Cal Gal. She's a leathered, fowl-mouth, tobacco-chewing, troubled dyke, covered with tattoos and body piercings with a vendetta. Fifty-Cal lugs a .50 caliber machine gun bolted to the bed of her deuce-and-a-half, and services as the henchman for the junkyard owner, Dale Carter, who cares for the Krackers.
"It's Fifty-Cal, that is the link between the between the two protagonists, Marci Lindum and Dale Carter," hints Mario.
"And of course there are several other colorful characters to hold your interest," Mario said. "There's a villain named Deuce, who is holed up inside a Pasco strip club searching for a missing Oxycodone shipment. And a bratty teenage daughter who cannot fathom her homecoming game was cancelled."
Kracker Flats is now available at Amazon in hardback or Kindle, Kobo, and your favorite e-reader devices. You won't regret this fun, local story.

Thorlos® CTPS: Protective Gear For Your Feet
When your job is protecting your country, the last thing you need to be thinking about is your feet. Nevertheless, foot issues follow ground, air and combat service support elements throughout all encounters. In the field, feet are prone to getting and staying wet from sweating, crossing canals and streams. The skin will get soft and easily blister if not properly cared for. In winter, you might be patrolling in the frigid mountains where your feet can get cold or even frostbitten. Experience has taught us you can't afford go barefoot or get blisters or infections on your feet in the field. Combat troops should not have to carry someone who could have taken better care of his or her feet. That's the job of Thorlos clinically-tested padded socks (CTPS) for military boots.
"My Marine son says these are the best boot socks ever! Whether wearing his jungle boots or combat boots, he loves these socks for the comfort, length, durability and elasticity to roll up skivvies. The Marine Corps has taught my son the best thing you can do every day is take care of your feet with clean socks. They may wear the same clothes for 7-10 days straight in the field, but are always told to air out their feet and change their socks. If my Marine is happy, Mom is happy!" Patty M.
Our mission is to provide unprecedented foot protection and foot comfort in support of the critical role combat infantry and special operations forces play in military operations. As such, we designed Thorlos clinically-tested military boot socks to be protective gear for your feet.
Thorlos core technology is engineered padding that has been clinically-tested and shown in independent studies to reduce:
- Blisters
- Pain
- Pressures
- Moisture
These benefits make Thorlos part of your protective gear for your feet.
"I'm currently going through basic training and I recommend these to anyone who needs to wear a heavy boot all day. I've never had a problem with them staying up and after 9 weeks I still have healthy, un-damaged feet (no blisters, ever!) Great buy!" Barrett F.
"These socks are super warm, fabulous, and cushiony!!! Love the extra coverage and protection against the spots that usually get blisters. My other boot socks do not compare!" Jeffrey C.
Thorlos Trusted by The Best of The Best
Thorlos clinically-tested padded military boot socks have been put to the ultimate test by Recon, SEAL teams and Special Forces Units. The ST (Mountaineering boot sock) was the sock of choice of the Special Forces units of the U.S. military for cold weather operations in Afghanistan, and it is the official sock of the Indian Defense Forces. They chose Thorlos because these CTPS provided added protection and comfort while they were deployed, especially in mountainous areas where the terrain features rock faces so sharp they can cut through boots. Your buddies have your back; let Thorlos have your feet.
"Sent these to my stepson, a Navy Seal, stationed overseas. He wrote us ""Those socks are seriously amazing, if it weren't for the color of them I'd wear them with my civilian clothes lol... they're like floating on air in your boots..." Joy R.
Foot Protection for All Conditions and Branches of the Military
They say an army moves on its stomach. But we know that an army moves on its feet.
So we make five different military socks; all utilize clinically- tested engineered padding to protect those feet in all conditions:
- .Combat Boot Sock (MCB) For extended field operations in varied terrains and climates.Over-calf length. Available in 5 colors: desert sand, coyote brown, olive, foliage green and black.
- Military Boot Sock (MB) For extended field operations in varied terrains and climates. Mid-calf length. Available in 4 colors: desert sand, coyote brown, foliage green and black.
- Desert Boot Sock (MLH) For hot weather climates. Available in 3 colors: desert sand,coyote brown and sage.
- Anti-Fatigue Boot Sock (MS) Leg support for extended field operations in varied terrains and climates. Over-calf length. Available in 4 colors: desert sand, coyote brown, foliage green and black.
- Physical Training Sock (MT) Crew-length PT socks.
Thorlos Customers Committed to Active American Forces
We have developed a program whereby our customers are invited to donate Thorlos CTPS combat boot socks to troops in the active theater. They can purchase our Thorlos clinically-tested padded military boot socks at our manufacturing cost. We then work with other supporting organizations to get the donated socks to our troops. It is truly the cause we are most proud of supporting.
Curious but not yet convinced whether Thorlos CTPS can help you address your foot pain? We invite you to try your first pair free…just paying shipping and handling.
Click this link to see our FIRST PAIR FREE OFFER.
Because of the demands placed on your feet during military duty we do not make Lite Padded Socks (LPS) for this purpose. You need the foot protection provided by our clinically-tested padded socks (CTPS).
Brand Promise Guarantee
For a job this serious, we know there is no such thing as a trial period…there are no rehearsals in military services once you cross the forward edge of the battle area. On the other hand, we know money is tight and company supply socks are free. So we stand behind our product. If you don't agree that with Thorlos, your feet feel better than when wearing general issue socks from the company supply, we'll refund your money. No questions asked.

From 2007-06-11 to 2007-06-17
Venue: Lanzhou, Cina
Summary:The UNESCO/IHP programme for Water and Development Information for Arid Lands - A Global Network (G-WADI), in collaboration with the Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAREERI/CAS) is organizing a training workshop dealing with groundwater modeling in arid and semi-arid areas.
Groundwater is a major component of water resources in arid regions. Additionally, the interaction between groundwater and surface water is very complex in these regions. Computer models and other new technologies such as isotopes are providing quantitative tools for characterizing these processes. A better understanding of groundwater dynamics through the proper use of groundwater modelling tools will help people to manage precious water resources in watersheds of arid areas.
The topics of this workshop include groundwater modelling in arid areas, the application of stochastic groundwater modelling in arid areas, isotope techniques in groundwater research in arid areas, and the interaction of surface water and groundwater and the modelling in arid areas.
