Did anyone really believe that union thugs would be successful calling a strike against Wal-Mart? What a hoot!
cake decorator?"and just what ARE those sprinkles you´re putting on that birthday cake?"
Voluntary separation, she will be in eligible for unemployment until she asks for a hearing and the doggone judge will develop a quirk in the law to pay her....
"But even Ferreira acknowledges that the other Walmart employees say she doesn't speak for them, and are annoyed by her theatrics."I bet most people at Walmart don´t make $12 an hour like Ferreira so it´s not a wonder they are annoyed with her.
New slogan: "Worker of the world unite!"
Mr. President, we had to cancel this year´s the democrat party American Patriot parade.Why is that, Valerie?Mr. President, one is sick and the other refuses to march alone.
How can she go on strike when there is no employees union in Walmart? Maybe a walkout?
I guess her Norma Rae moment fell flat.
I had not read the article before I posted above. If she believes her wages are too low, perhaps she should be looking for a higher paying job elsewhere.
Maybe the SEIU will hire her as an organizer.If she thinks she´s underpaid now, just wait until the Obamacare mandates kick in and Walmart cuts her down to 28 hours a week.
Who in their right mind would ever buy another cake from this walmart? I can only imagine what someone like her would put in it.
Well, I guess she really showed WalMart! The corporate execs must be quaking in their boots. Now, what will she do? Watch TV all day? Maybe she can become a SEIU operative.
Well good. She´s now free to find one of those "higher wage jobs" her union bosses tantalize her with. My guess is she´ll have striker´s remorse in 10, 9, 8,...
All that rah rah rah from the union and she walks out alone. Let them pay her $12 an hour in a state full of mimimum wage service jobs. Someone probably asked for her job before she hit the parking lot.
Florida is a right to work state...so, she walks out, on strike, so......what??
Do these brain trust union members think about how much they´d need to earn if they didn´t have to hand a fair amount of it to their union?A young female relative who is a sheriff´s deputy in a California county is totally disgusted by what she has to pay to the union every month. "They do absolutely nothing for us. Nothing."
My 19 year old son works at the local Walmart as he goes to college, he makes $8.30 in the deli with good hours. He volunteered to work today from 4pm to 1am because he gets time and 1/2 and an additional10% off his already 10 % employee discount on appreciation days. This is off everything in the store except ammo (bummer!), that´s a huge savings! On top of this, the store had a meal catered for the employees in the employee lounge. Is it a perfect job? No, but it´s a low skilled job it´s not supposed to be perfect! My son is grateful to have it because 30% of his peers can´t find employment. He thinks those complainers need to suck it up and shut up.
Another stupid lefty who thinks that being a cake decorator at Walmart is a career. No, it is NOT supposed to be a career. Why didn´t she use her learned skills and experience to find another job or to try to move up in the organization? That´s the problem with these fools...they don´t realize that those jobs are not supposed to be lifelong careers!! Not knowing enough about her performance, I can´t say if she deserved a better wage or not. But there is a good chance that she didn´t put in that extra effort to get noticed and maybe a better wage. At any rate, until people realize that they can better their lives by working a little harder and making the necessary sacrifices, they will always be stuck in dead end jobs and whine for more. The unions take advantage of their ignorance and laziness.
Most likely in the union that brought down Hostess.
Darwin must be spinning in his grave right now over this woman and the Hostess union."I thought they´d be further evolved by now."
She can always go to work at the hostess plant. Wait.....
She´ll be fine. She´ll go to the Social Security office next week and claim her back is shot from standing up all those long 8 years decorating all those cakes and Obama´s minions will sign her up for disability pay quick as a wink.
She could have applied to work for those unions in Hostess. Oh wait, the unions closed Hostess down. Heh, heh.
Did she pick up her free phone on the way out????Art
#17, hooray for your son! I don´t see him as one of those kids sitting around sucking his thumb and complaining about not being able to find a job after he gets out of school. And this woman Ferreira? As others have hinted, she should never be allowed around anybody´s food supply again. Maybe she can find a Twinkie baker to sit on a park bench and commiserate with.
Its all about groceries. Sears, Kmart, JCPenny and Target are don´t have unionized workers either and the wages (I bet) is the same as Walmart. They only picket Walmart because only Walmart sells enough groceries to threaten the food union´s workers and thats wehre unions are still pretty influential.
Good point, #16.These cranky union dimwits never stop to think how much more they´d be taking home were it not for the very unions they belong to.
Wal-Mark employs a lot of senior citizens .... folks who need to suppliment their income. Did the gimme-gimme union worker expect them to walk away from one of the few places willing to hire persons 70+ years old?With all the talk about greed on Wall Street, few ever discuss the details of unionized employees´ demands and how much of their paycheck goes to the union bosses.
You would think that since walmart gave ALL its political donations ONLY to the dems, they would be loved. Guess not. Take note christie.
Finally - competition for the California Walnut...
Americans just aren´t as pro union as they once were in this country. That and Walmart employees trying this ´me too´ stunt on the heels of the Hostess debacle and a very tight economy for jobs and any smart person could see why a walkout would be PR epic failure.
#30, feel free to share a link that offers evidence of your assertion that Wal-Mart went All-in on Democrats.
Keep walking Vanessa
Why doesn´t Ms. Vanessa take her skills and open her own little bakery? Something unique. Then, if she becomes successful, and MAKES A LOT OF MONEY, she´ll need help and can hire a few employees to help her MAKE MORE MONEY.And then SHE can deal with the unions and their wages and demands, and the taxes, and the benefits, and the MANDATED OBAMACARE, and OSHA, and ......If she´s that good.....
#29 "...Wal-Mark employs a lot of senior citizens .... folks who need to suppliment their income…."Exactly right. They (Walmart) give older people a sense of doing something and a way to earn money that´s no doubt desperately needed. It´s certainly not an essential job for Walmart. After all, how many businesses have ´door greeters?´ Walmart management should be commended for this.Walmart also provides employment for dozens of local people in their stores as well as providing a local source for products that otherwise would be purchased out of town. Walmart haters should find another hobby.
"An Army of One"
#1 - yes. Unions will overrun Wal-Mart like a plague of hive rats.It will happen during the next four years.
Watching FoxNews 85 a.m. my time. Showing protesters who were bused in (big surprise). Tried to interview one, who refused to answer (big surprise) and told James Rosen, "Talk to the people in the green shirt". So he tried to talk to a goofy acting green-shirted fellow who (big surprise) also refused to answer. What a surprising morning!I wonder how many of the "protesters" actually work for WalMart.
The Walmart near us has both handicapped and seniors working as greeters. In the four years I´ve been going there, the same people have greeted me with a smile. I never see the handicap or the age anymore. Just nice people.
Wages are too low? Why doesn´t Vanessa quit Walmart altogether get herself a high-paying job in her chosen profession (cake decorator) at some boutique bakery run by kindly radical leftists?
I have explained to employees many times that if they want job security and the potential for pay increases all they have to do is do their job so well that I am convinced that I need them.
Married life ain´t hard when you got a union card,A union man has a happy life when he´s got a union wife.Just think, according to Woody, in Saint Cloud is a really lucky guy!
Maybe she should have consulted with the Twinkie workers before flying off the handle.
"She´ll be fine. She´ll go to the Social Security office next week and claim her back is shot..."Spoken like someone who´se never had to fight their way through a disability claim...
Go ask Obama for one of the millions of green jopssss./s
I´ll betcha she´s frosted!
Union leaders are exactly like politicians- they are on the same team. Once they figured out they could leverage their position of power, it became more about their power position and access to money and political power, than their members.Union members, through force or stupidity, are the sheep that make the leaders and their chosen politicians rich and more powerful.
yes No.10, our big health care hospital bought immiaging centers they closed some and they put the rest of the workers on part time , agreat result of Omamacare.
#47, getting disability for an actual disability is very difficult. You have to have friends, and an addiction of some kind to succeed without really trying.
CNBC has been trying to use the "story" of the "protest" all day long..they finally found a real WMT employee from SOMEWHERE that supported the "strike"..the commies had to bus THEIR members in to make it look like a WMT strike..
To answer the question in the Must Reads link, Target doesn´t get targeted because they are owned by Dayton-Hudson. Dayton? The Dayton family? Uber-leftist Democrats from ... Minnesota, I think. Look up Mark Dayton and check out his political career.Yeah, they have a force field around them against this junk.
The solitary nature of her ´strike´ exemplifies how unionization doesn´t always represent all the workers -- because many of them would choose to keep working, rather than strike.The complete ineffectiveness of her ´strike´ exemplifies the value of unionization, in places where a company routinely abuses workers. Individually, they lack the kind of leverage needed to motivate change.A healthy market depends on a sustainable balance between labor, management, consumer, and government. Whenever any one of those gets out of whack, the whole suffers. Big business has a history of abusing workers. Big labor has a history of abusing management (and workers, too). Big government has a way of destroying the whole market. And monopolies have a history of abusing consumers.
Unions are for mamas´ babies who can´t get a real job!!
According to Open Secrets Org., Walmart donations are predominantly Republican.
The NLRB protects those who engage in "protected concerted activity." Acting in concert requires 2 or more employees, so a single person walk out doesn´t fit the law, and she is outside its protection. Obama´s NLRB will bend over backwards to protect her, but if it followed the law as written she´s out of luck.
@54, thanks, I knew that but not too many others do. And the reason Kohl´s is never boycotted or targeted is because the owner is Herb Kohl, big-time lib democrat senator from Wisconsin.
I wish there was no such thing as the unions. I worked in three places that was moved or closed down because of the unions. All it did was make sure those people did not have a job anymore. I think that is what they are good for -certaintly not to make sure people have jobs. The big leaders just want the money out of the people - calling it "dues".
An observation about Walmart, one of my favorite places to shop: Many people working there have an opportunity to excel that they wouldn´t have experienced in most retail settings. There doesn´t seem to be age discrimination. They hire the handicapped.

Proper Use
Use this medicine only as directed. Do not use more of it and do not use it more often than your doctor ordered. To do so may increase the chance of too much medicine being absorbed into the body and the chance of side effects.
If your doctor ordered two different eye drops to be used together, wait at least 5 minutes between the times you apply the medicines. This will help to keep the second medicine from "washing out" the first one.
It is important that your doctor check your eye pressure at regular visits to make certain that your glaucoma is being controlled.
The preservative used in these eye drops may be absorbed by soft contact lenses and cause irritation of your eyes. Soft contact lenses should be taken out before you use travoprost eye drops. Lenses may be put back in the eyes 15 minutes after you have used the medicine.
To use:
- The bottle is only partially full to provide proper drop control.
- First, wash your hands. Tilt the head back and, pressing your finger gently on the skin just beneath the lower eyelid, pull the lower eyelid away from the eye to make a space. Drop the medicine into this space. Let go of the eyelid and gently close the eyes. Do not blink. Keep the eyes closed for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the medicine to be absorbed by the eye.
- Remove any excess solution around the eye with a clean tissue, being careful not to touch the eye.
- Immediately after using the eye drops, wash your hands to remove any medicine that may be on them.
To keep the medicine as germ-free as possible, do not touch the applicator tip to any surface (including the eye). Also, keep the container tightly closed. Serious damage to the eye and possible loss of vision may result from using contaminated eye drops.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For ophthalmic (eye drops) dosage form:
- For glaucoma or hypertension of the eye:
- Adults—Use 1 drop in the affected eye(s) once a day in the evening.
- Children—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
- For glaucoma or hypertension of the eye:
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.

County supervisors took a series of steps Tuesday, Jan. 19, in preparation of roadwork on the Oroville-Quincy Highway that will leave a portion of the byway closed for as long as eight weeks.
The highway, also known as Bucks Lake Road/Big Creek Road or Forest Highway 119, runs from Quincy past Bucks Lake and down to Oroville. The work will take place on Big Creek Road.
The first segment of work starts 9 miles north and east of the Butte/Plumas county line and extends east for 5.6 miles. The work includes road realignment at the Grizzly Creek Bridge area. The existing bridge near Grubbs Cow Camp will be replaced. Additional work includes pavement rehabilitation with some drainage improvements.
The second segment of work starts 3.7 miles east of the Big Creek Road/Bucks Lake Road intersection at the Haskins Tee and includes pavement rehabilitation.
The third segment of work poses the most logistical problems. It starts 7.7 miles east of the aforementioned intersection and includes construction of a retaining wall, pavement rehabilitation and drainage improvements.
Because of the nearby stream bed, steep terrain and geology, a road closure will be necessary during construction of the retaining wall.
Plumas County Public Works, the U.S. Forest Service and the Federal Highway Administration (since the road is a designated forest highway, the federal highway program has jurisdiction) have agreed the closure should occur after Labor Day weekend to avoid peak summer tourism and fire seasons. The maximum estimated time of road closure is eight weeks.
During that time, traffic will be routed over Bucks Summit on Bucks Lake Road. However, county code imposes a vehicle weight restriction on Bucks Lake Road from its intersection with Big Creek Road near Toll Gate to where it rejoins Big Creek Road at the Haskins Tee.
John Mannle, representing the county road department, told supervisors the weight limit wasn't often enforced and it was adopted to deter logging trucks and other large vehicles from traveling through the resort areas along Bucks Lake.
Plumas National Forest has agreed to re-direct its personnel and contractors onto Forest Service roads to bypass the closure area and to minimize traffic on Bucks Lake Road.
By contract, the FHA will keep a minimum of one lane of traffic open during the rest of the construction period.
The road department was asking the supervisors to do three things: Approve the work plans and specifications from the FHA and concur with its recommendation to advertise and award the project; approve a temporary road closure on Big Creek Road, presently scheduled for after Labor Day weekend 2010; and temporarily suspend the weight restriction for commercial vehicles on Bucks Lake Road during the Big Creek Road closure.
The supervisors had no problem with the first two items, especially since the majority of the funding for the $12 million project is coming from federal stimulus dollars.
Supervisor Lori Simpson had questions about the economic effects of the project. She expressed concern that hunters and leaf peepers use the area in the fall and she did not want to see tourism hurt.
Mannle said he understood her concern, but noted the work was supposed to be completed after Labor Day 2010 but before Memorial Day 2011. The amount of water in the soil and the creek level could prohibit springtime work, as could a heavy snow year.
Simpson asked if the construction workers would come from out of the area and use local motels, campgrounds or other services.
Mannle said he didn't know. The contract will be a HUB (historically underutilized business) zone set-aside. This type of contract helps federal agencies- Maidu will once again be the stewards of their ancestral land, Humbug Valley

Makes optimal settings automatically – for both motion and still images.
iA (Intelligent Auto)
This powerful function senses the shooting conditions and automatically makes the settings and activates functions that will deliver optimal results. With both motion and still images, iA does the bothersome settings for you and makes it easy to capture beautiful, well-focused images.
* The functions included in iA may not be applied when conditions do not call for them.
Blur-free zooming and shooting on the move.
HYBRID O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)
HYBRID O.I.S. corrects hand-shake blurring by combining the action of its hybrid optical and electrical image stabilization systems. Even when zooming, where hand-shake often occurs, both optical and electrical hand-shake correction make it possible to record beautiful images with approximately 2 times* the hand-shake suppressing effect as conventional models.
* Compared with the HDC-SD60, HDC-TM60, and HDC-HS60.
Active Mode
Active mode comes in handy when shooting while walking or playing with your children. The wide correction area corrects even relatively large hand-shake motion. It's especially good for active video shooting.
Recognizes important people's faces and captures them beautifully.
Face Recognition
The Face Recognition function recognizes the faces of registered subjects, and automatically optimizes the focus and exposure for those special people. It continues to track the subject as he or she moves anywhere within the LCD frame, making it ideal for video shooting. It is extremely useful for capturing someone's face in a group. Names can also be registered and displayed on the LCD while shooting. A total of six people can be registered, and the names of up to three people at a time can be displayed in the shooting frame.
Locks on a subject and tracks it.
AF/AE Tracking
Touch the LCD screen to indicate the subject, such as a person or an animal, that you want to focus on, and let AF/AE Tracking do the rest. The camera locks on the subject and follows it around, keeping it in sharp focus and properly exposed. It keeps tracking even if the subject turns to the side. This advanced function makes it easy to get a continually clear, beautiful shot of the subject in the scene you care most about.
Detects the situation and switches the scene mode automatically.
Intelligent Scene Selector
The Intelligent Scene Selector function analyzes the shooting situation and automatically switches the camcorder to the suitable scene mode that will give you optimal results.
PortraitThis mode captures faces beautifully. With Soft Skin mode, complexions are automatically enhanced to make faces attractive. |
SceneryThis mode is ideal for shooting wide landscapes and sweeping vistas, such as at the ocean or in the mountains. It balances the exposure over the entire frame to prevent brighter parts of the image, such as the sky, from being washed out or having blown highlights. |
SpotlightThe camcorder automatically uses this mode for scenes with particularly strong contrast, such as when you're shooting a spot lit area on a darkened stage. It captures the well-lit subject perfectly and prevents washed-out areas. |
Low LightIn dim lighting, the camcorder automatically switches to a slower shutter speed so that images across the entire frame are bright and easy to see. |
Captures faces beautifully - even in dim or backlit scenes.
Face Detection
Face Detection automatically senses the ambient lighting and adjusts the exposure accordingly, so faces are bright and easy to see. The focus also prioritizes the faces, and skin tones are smoothed. Faces in the center of the frame serve as the reference for adjustments, but the function can detect up to 15 faces at once.
Helps suppress blown highlights and retains a natural contrast.
Intelligent Contrast Control
Intelligent Contrast Control detects the ambient light level and adjusts the exposure accordingly, helping to prevent blown highlights and blocked shadows. You can capture natural looking, highly nuanced images with proper contrast.
With a Special iA Mode for Still Images
The iA function is active even when the camera is in still-image mode. When the Intelligent Scene Selector detects the shooting situation, it automatically switches to one of the five Scene modes for still-image shooting, and optimizes the settings for the still image.
•Sports •Portrait •Spot Light •Snow •Beach
•Sunset •Fireworks •Scenery •Night Scenery
•Night Portrait •Macro
Captures smiles automatically.
Smile Shot (Still Image)
The Smile Shot function automatically detects subject smiles, and captures the best possible smile while you're shooting movies. It lets you easily catch those fleeting, easy-to-miss stills of a smiling subject. It will also optimize the focus and exposure for your subject's smiling face.
Capture the smiles of only certain subjects – Face Recognition Linked |
Capture the smiles of an entire group – Face Detection Linked |
Capture the smiling face of a moving subject – AF/AE Tracking Linked |
Intuitive shooting, easy viewing
2.7" Wide LCD with Intuitive Touch Operation
The easy-to-view 6.7 cm/2.7" wide LCD screen allows intuitive fingertip touch-operation. When shooting, you can use Touch Zoom to instantly zoom in and out by simply touching your fingertips, and Touch Shutter to automatically focus when shooting still images by simply touching the subject on the screen. For playback, you can also change thumbnail pages by sliding a fingertip across the screen. You get smooth, intuitive operation and don't have to take your eyes off of the LCD screen.
Touch operation for shooting
Touch operation for playback
Great for sudden photo opportunities! Saves energy too!
1.0-sec Quick Power-On
Switch the power on and the HD camcorders are in standby mode in approx. 1.0 seconds*, ready to shoot when you are. When the LCD is closed, the power automatically switches off. This fast startup and automatic shutdown also help reduce battery consumption.
* Depending on the recording conditions, start time may be longer than 1.0 second.
0.6-sec Quick Start
Using Quick Start mode, you simply flip open the LCD and you're ready to shoot in just 0.6 seconds.* When Eco mode is also used, the power turns off whenever the camcorder has not been operated for 5 minutes. This reduces wasted power consumption, and enables a longer battery life.
* Depending on the recording conditions, start time may be longer than 0.6 seconds.
When the built-in memory fills up, recording automatically continues on an SD Memory Card.
Relay Recording
The Relay Recording mode automatically switches from the built-in flash memory (once it's full) to the SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card and continues recording. You don't have to worry about missing an important shot while switching media.
Arrange the data that is split onto two types of media on an SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card.If the SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card has sufficient capacity, it's possible to arrange all of the split data as a single continuous scene on the SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card. Use the included software.You can also use the editing software that is included with the camcorder to join the split data as a continuous scene. |
Use a DVD burner to create a disc.If the SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card is not big enough to hold all of the split data, use a DVD burner to create a disc with all the motion images as a single continuous scene. |
Helps protect recorded video data from damage due to jolts and impact.
The internal hard drive lets you record continuously for up to 51 hours*2 without changing a disc, SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card or other recording media.
*1 The 120GB hard drive utilizes a portion of the storage space for formatting, file management and other purposes. 120GB is 120 billion bytes. Usable capacity will be less.
*2 In HE mode
Anti-Shock Shield
Images are recorded even before you begin shooting.
Pre-Rec Function
This smart function records three seconds of images even before you actually begin shooting. The images are held temporarily in the camcorder's internal memory, before recording begins. This helps ensure that you won't miss the start of a moment you want to record, such as when an event begins all of a sudden. For example, if you're waiting to snap a shot of a jumping dolphin, you can press the REC button after you've made sure that the dolphin has cleared the surface of the water. The camcorder will record the entire scene, from the instant of the dolphin's jump until it disappears again into the sea.
* The camera must be aimed at the subject in advance.
Inside or out, you can adjust the LCD brightness.
Auto Power LCD
The LCD brightness can be adjusted manually to suit the surroundings. In Auto Mode, the LCD brightness is adjusted automatically in 16 smooth steps depending on the surroundings. In darker rooms it adjusts to a lower brightness, making it easier to frame the shot. Outside, it adjusts to almost twice the brightness for easy viewing even on sunny days.
Beautiful LCD images even from an angle.
Wide Viewing Angle
The LCD has a highly detailed, 230,400-dots display and a viewing angle of 170°, both vertically and horizontally. Images are clear and bright even when viewed from an angle, so everyone can gather around the LCD to enjoy on-the-spot recordings. The wide viewing angle is also great for taking high- or low-angle shots.
Prevents unintended shooting.
AGS (Auto Ground-Directional Standby)*
The O.I.S. linear motor system can detect when the camera is in an unusual shooting position - such as when you've inadvertently left it on in recording mode. In these cases, the camera automatically stops recording, saving both battery power and media storage space.
* In PAL area, the AGS (Auto Ground-Directional Standby) is called the Anti Ground Shooting.
• Set to OFF when shipped from the factory. To turn AGS ON, the setting must be made on the menu screen.
Captures those spur-of-the-moment scenes.
60 Frames/Sec High-Speed Burst Shooting*
This function lets the camcorder snap up to 60 consecutive 0.9-megapixel still images* per second for a total of 180 continuous images in about 3 seconds. The resolution can also be increased and up to 30 consecutive 2.1-megapixel still images** per second can be shot for a total of 90 continuous images in about 3 seconds. You can use it to analyze a golf swing, tennis stroke or other motion. You can also use it to get good shots of subjects in fast motion. Just fire off a number of shots without stopping, then keep the best ones and delete the rest.
* In PAL areas, 50 consecutive 0.9-megapixel still images per second.
** In PAL areas, 25 consecutive 2.1-megapixel still images per second.
Adjusts the focus easily.
Focus Assist
This function shows which subjects are in-focus by displaying their outlines in blue. You can easily check the focus on LCD when manually focusing, to ensure consistently clear, sharp images.
Supports your best composition.
Composition Guide Lines
With wide LCD monitors, it's hard to keep images perfectly level. The HD 80 Series solve this by displaying horizontal and vertical Composition Guide Lines that make it easy to keep the subject straight and level.
Select the recording mode to match your needs.
HA / HG / HX / HE Mode / iFrame Mode
The TM80 is equipped with a built-in 16GB memory, and can be used together with a 64GB SDXC Memory Card to shoot for up to 34 hours 10 minutes.* The HS80 features a 120GB HDD, and can be used together with a 64GB SDXC Memory Card to shoot for up to 78 hours and 30 minutes.** Choose the recording mode that matches your intended use – iFrame mode for maximum recording time, or HA mode for optimal image quality.
* In HE mode.
Motion Picture Recording Time [approx.]
・These figures vary depending on the pictures being recorded.
* 1 GB means 1 billion bytes. Usable capacity will be less.
** When shooting for an extended period of time, make sure that you allow yourself enough battery power to last 3 to 4 times the amount of time you plan on shooting. The continuous battery-powered shooting time varies depending on the usage conditions, e.g., when shooting in low temperatures. See the Battery Life chart for information on the continuous battery-powered shooting time.
Automatically lights up when darkness is detected.
LED Video Light
When the camera determines that the ambient lighting is insufficient, it automatically switches the light on. This illuminates your subject for shooting. The LED (light emitting diode) has low power consumption, a long service life, and the safety of a low operating temperature.
Capture crisp, vivid images even in low lighting.
Color Night Rec/Colour Night View
Leave the light off. Color Night Rec/Colour Night View gives you images with color even in dim lighting (1 lx).
Easy time setting - Both on the destination and at home.
World Time
Setting the time is as easy as selecting a city from the displayed map. The World Time function lets you set the time for two cities, home and destination. You don't have to figure out the time difference at your destination, and it's easy when you get home.

NEW TECUMSETH - New Tecumseth is buying the rights to the Hornet's Nest, giving user groups the freedom to sell their own food and alcohol at events in the New Tecumseth Recreation Complex (NTRC).
The deal will have the town pay leaseholder Coun. Richard Norcross, who declared a conflict of interest and didn't take part in the debate or vote, $50,000 in one payment. Norcross will continue to run the concession at the arena.
The hope is that by having the town hold the rights to the Hornet's Nest it will be easier for staff to rent space at the NTRC as groups will be able to get special occasion permits, allowing them to serve alcohol. The move also means groups can hire outside caterers for functions.
Up until now this wasn't an option for most functions as the lease Norcross inked with the town gave him the sole right to serve food and drink in the facility, except for five exemptions each year at the discretion of council.
Having the town add a Host Liquor Liability endorsement to its insurance policy will allow alcoholic drinks to continue to be served at the complex. This will allow town staff to serve alcoholic beverages or contract out the serving to a third party. When a caterer or community group is issued a special occasion permit, they would hold the primary insurance coverage for the event.
At last week's committee of the whole meeting, local lawyer Kevin Kemp told council it was worrisome for the town to become involved in serving alcohol. He told council it was a "recipe for disaster."
According to New Tecumseth CAO Terri Caron, the town's insurance is about $5 million.
Coun. Jamie Smith, who is also a lawyer, noted "There's been at least three judgments involving drinking and driving exceeding $12 million, one of which was in this area."
As a decision on the future of the Alliston Memorial Arena is still pending, Coun. Paul Whiteside asked last week to have the NTRC decision put off.
His feeling was that inking the new lease at the new rec complex would hammer the final nails in the coffin of the Alliston Memorial Arena. Whiteside asked staff to look at going month-to-month on the NTRC lease.
According to a staff report, however, that isn't an option.
"It is not possible to retain staff, order supplies and make commitments for functions when the time frame is short and uncertain," reads a memo from Caron.
That left the town with two options: renew the lease as it was written five years ago, or amend it and buy-out the Norcross' sole rights to sell alcohol and food at the complex.
For Whiteside, that leaves them between rock and hard place.
"Your choice is between two successes at this point," said town lawyer James Feehely. "You've got a lease operation that is successful, the issue is whether you want to take an opportunity to negotiate something that might make it more successful for the town."
Parks, Recreation and Culture are developing a business for the vacated restaurant space, with Caron's memo saying a food and beverage service will be available during hockey games and on a regular schedule.
Council members eligible to vote on the item were unanimous in their support. The only councillors who didn't vote were Norcross due to his conflict, and Coun. Jim Stone, who wasn't at the meeting.

Qt Developer Days in other countries..

Does Nokia plan to hold a meeting in Russia for example? I think that a place of the meeting will be crowded :)
43 replies
Another idea is to organize community meetings, maybe if they will be big enough Nokia will provide some "goodies" (like some Trolls as speakers…)
Another good candidate for Dev Days i think should be Australia, i saw some people from there on Qt forums (and i don't think that many of them will fly to Munich or San Francisco), or why not have one Dev Days on each continent?
And one in Romania! (just kidding ;) )

Tobias Hunger: I ask you not to misunderstand the meaning of my words, I just understand the feelings of the colleagues that expressed here their desire to have an event near of them. Because when I was in Mexico I always wanted an event of this kind will take place there, but it never did. They're was always in a place in U.S. or Europe. However, for me is OK that this event will be, like almost always, in a place of U.S. and Europe. As we used to say in Mexico "If the mountain does not go to Muhammad, Muhammad go to the mountain". :-)

Chicago Baseball Is The Definition Of Irony
Ozzie Guillen wants you to be honest. Anyone of us would be crushed if we got dumped by someone on Full House. You might not go full meth head like Stephanie Tanner but you might dip a bit heavy into the sauce. Whatever you do, it's not ironic despite what Alanis Morrisette might say especially when it comes to Dave Coulier. Chicago pickup baseball may not have sold as many albums as You Can't Do That On Television but it knows the definition of irony.
A stop the violence baseball game went wrong when a player busted a cap in his coach's ass after an altercation in the dugout.
The shooting happened during the second game of the day for the Cardinals after the gunman became upset with Hall for pulling him from the game, the Cardinals' captain told WGN-Ch. 9.The captain, a 23-year-old man who did not want his name revealed, told the station the player tried picking a fight with the coach in the dugout until the captain intervened and kicked the player out.The player retrieved a semiautomatic handgun, returned to the field and chased after the coach, firing repeatedly. At one point, the player stopped to reload his gun, said the captain.
Hall appeared to have been hit twice, in an arm and in the back, the captain said. When Hall fell to ground, it appeared the player wanted to continue firing at him, but he had run out of bullets, the captain said.

The nose is straw, lemon, dank, earthy yeast funk, and candied sugar. The taste gives some straw and candied sugar up front before becoming a sour lemon bomb. It's like you're drinking a Warhead. The body is light and watery with high carbonation, and it finishes dry. Not interesting enough to warrant the price.

Pours cloudy golden (to light orange), one finger head strings of fizz make it last for a lot of time. Smells like a typical (good) gueuze, with the nice funk, mellow sweet fruit, honey, citrus and herbs. Big sourness, huge, backed by a lower tartness than usual. Lots of crisp citrus, with lime, unripe oranges, pomelo, pink grapefruit and lots of lemon zest. Sour cherries way in the back, with acidic green apple and grapes, also bringing a low sweetness. Slight grains, but really pale malts. Faint honey and vanilla notes. Lots of dusty wood, a clear oak character, also "saison" characteristics, like a certain barnyard feel, with green grass, hay, woodchips and earthy yeasts. Hops are bitter in the finish, adding to the big dry feeling, creating a perfect grapefruity finish. A bit burpy from the fizz, but thirst quenching and refreshing, even it it makes you cringe at first. Dry in the finish, with the sweetness lingering for a bit. Also had the 2011-2012 and had it written down as "rough and rugged", this was even more. Fortunately my type of gueuze.

Fairly inactive. Hardly any bubbles rising to the surface. Definitely a bit boring to look at in the glass. Smell - Excellent. Lots of fresh lemon, coriander and plant-y/ floral notes. Honey as well. A fresh yeast smell. All standard Gueuze elements. Nothing atypical, but bright and zesty and true to the style. Taste - Lots of grapefruit, orange zest and lemon peel. Very crisp and clean. Nothing off about this. Honey, subtle vanilla and a clean, short-lived bitterness via the hops. Tangy. Nice and simple. Lots of lemon in this Gueuze. Hops are balanced nicely. Mouthfeel - Good, but not amazing. There are other Gueuzes that pop a little more, giving their beer more life. Carbonation is decent, but could be better. This also effects the overall look of the beer. As far as the palate goes, this is very well-balanced. Lots of sugars and bittering notes. Stimulates all parts of the mouth and tongue. This lingers on the roof of the mouth the most. This definitely makes up for the low carbonation. Overall - For the price point, this is an excellent Gueuze. Very clean, very balanced and refreshing. Quality ingredients and a ripe blast of flavor. Recommend this guy. Tasty! Serving type: bottle 11-06-2013 06:37:44 | More by Agent1 |

Tag Archives: wealth advisor
Social Networking Article: What can we expect from this new economy?
In life we are blessed to meet people who are true "Gurus". A guru in my book has always been someone who has mastered one particular area
in life.Yes, you could be a guru of
brushing your teeth.In addition to
mastering this one area, a guru freely shares their knowledge with others who
are seeking information.
For over 15 years, I have known Todd Rustman.He is truly a guru when it comes to financial
matters.In addition, to being a
business owner in 5 totally different successful businesses, he has made a point to get the best training and credentials.
He has an MBA and is a CFA, certified financial analyst, a CFP, a
chartered financial planner, a CSA, a certified senior analyst and a whole
other list of amazing titles.Yes, he actually carries 3 business cards just to list all of his credentials.In 2008 and 2009, Worth's Magazine listed
Todd as one of the top 100 Wealth Advisors.
I had to ask him about what is happening right now.Here is what Todd has to say for 2009.
What are 3 tips you
would like to share for 2009 with small business owners?
Look at all ways to reduce costs, shore up balance sheets, lending will be coming back but restricted and cautious lending…
- Look to reduce/eliminate matches on 401k or other employee
benefits to lean out costs - Examine balance sheet for ways to increase assets.Take a life insurance appraisal on any key man insurance policies or Buy/Sell term polices—YES- even term polices
can be valued now and sold. - Any charitable remainder trusts can be bought now too (for a
premium); and charities can collect early on money owed to them by donors by having our groups buy them out now (instead of waiting for an event to happen with a donor sometime in the future)
What is the biggest lesson you gained from 2008?
Leverage kills; as strange as it sounds. VERY RARELY should someone spend more than they make.It is a simple rule, but still people break
it all the time.
What are resources
you suggest for small business owners?
Perspective is key.
Business cycles come and go. Look at the chart of growth for any business,
stock, investment, real estate, commodity, etc. It is never, ever a straight
line! Bumps and wiggles occur! This is a BIG bump down across all assets,
investments and business- but life goes on while we plan for other things.
Cash Flow is king- protect it. There is value on your balance sheet, all is not lost. Those that come out on the other side of this recession (NOT Depression), shall be so much stronger- be part of that group.
Hope is not a strategy.
Some places you can look to for additional support:
– Gain a voice/relevance as a business owner with the government through this organization.Be in the "know" and help shape the future and have an impact.
http://www.SettlementPlus.comMention Todd Rustman to get a free appraisal on your life insurance policies.
What is one thing you
would like to learn this year?
Wisdom to know what things I can change. Learn what I must embrace and then "release" it.
Do you have a free
resource of your own that you would like to give people?
Free, in the end, is worth what you pay for it. 2009 will be the year of collaboration- but everyone must win/win to have scalability and growth. The free resources above look good and give you a 10k foot overview…but in the end, there are costs—which, in perspective, and the net overview- are nothing if value can be achieved. And, if no value is achieved/forecasted, then why go forward? Unless you are the government, a Union , car manufacturer, etc.! LOL
What would you like to learn for 2009?How are you being
impacted by the new economy?Please share your comments.
For 2009, working on flexible, collaborative relationships.
A team approach versus a top-down approach to success. Finding ways to lead by serving others- rather than leading and hoping people will follow. Operation
Simplify is our mantra!
If you want to continue to learn from Guru, Todd Rustman,

our work extraordinary design & customer experiences
ron herman
Curated So-Cal Fashion
Virid's solution for Ron Herman focused on elements of the real-world store experience for inspiration. A shadowbox metaphor was designed to contain elements and establish a canvas for creating a tactile environment. The final design is playful, yet on-brand, while highly usable for customers and flexible for the Ron Herman team to keep fresh with new marketing, blog entries, and product merchandising.
tory burch
Socialite Turned Fashion Darling
The product of years of platforming both the Tory Burch flagship site and the private sale store, these samples were developed to push the Tory Brand out of its staid and inflexible templates and into something that energized and motivated the core Tory Burch customer. At the time of this work, thebrand was just establishing its foothold in the fashion world and open to exploring alternative directions for the web store interface.
footwear from skate to school
Over the many years of our relationship with Journeys, and its group brands, Virid has performed 3 complete redesigns of the Journeys web store to incorporate new web features and maintain a competitive edge. It's worked beautifully. Journeys consistently grows year over year and our work spans from in-store touch screen interfaces, an annual site supporting the BBQ tour, and a mobile site.
The Original Windproof Lighter
One of the newest additions to the marketAgility platform, Zippo challenged ourcreative and technology groups to develop a store around an expanding product line and to create a configurator that allows customers to design or engrave the product they're purchasing. The site leans heavily on well branded campaign graphics and utilizes modern navigational metaphors to bring the Zippo brand in-line with customer expectations.
Johnston & Murphy
The Executive Shoemaker
Shortly after rebranding Johnston & Murphy to attract a younger generation to its footwear line, Virid redesigned the web store to update the feel and reflect the new brand positioning. The resulting creative work leveraged campaign assets featuring black and white photography and well known inspirational figures.
barneys new york
The Stalwart NYC Fashion Retailer
The very first adopter of the marketAgility platform, Barneys frequently engaged Virid's creative group for assistance in the design and implementation of email marketing campaigns. From event driven concepts, to brick and mortar sale alerts, our work ran the gamut of marketing communication design.
carolyn pollack
Tiffanys of the Southwest
Carolyn Pollack engaged Virid's creative group to reposition her brand as the Tiffany of the Southwest. Our work achieved the goal of setting higher product price point expectations for the customer while creating an environment for the Carolyn Pollack team to merchandise and market new lines and old from theirconsiderable southwestern jewelry collections.
Footwear for Every Occasion
The initial redesign of the Bakers web store when they relaunched on the marketAgility platform was so extensible and flexible, it's been nearly 3 years since a significant architectural change has been made to the store. Initially envisioned as a seamless, full bleed interface, container elements were added to structure the experience and provide greater predictability in the customer experience. Product detail images were increased in impact and the categories were rethought to better align them with customer expectations. Virid's design for the bakers mobile store has been recognized as one of the best examples of a mobile shopping experience.
The Yellow Boot and Beyond
Before Virid built the marketAgility platform, we designed and developed web stores on other vendor's products. The Timberland design was one of the first examples of a campaign driven web store with multi-brand navigation. Our objective (as always) was to infuse the interface with the DNA of the Timberland brand. In this case, it meant a layer of grit, ragged edges, and naturalistic elements that harken to the outdoor culture.
via spiga
Modern Italian Fashion Footwear
How many sites designed in 2001 do you expect to see in a portfolio? Not many, right? We like to show this one because it illustrates the importance of designing web stores that transcend trends and embrace the timeless nature of a brand. While our work for Via Spiga was designed for alegacy platform before we built marketAgility, it's interesting to see how little has actually changed in the e-commerce space in the last 10 years. Perhaps that's just how far out ahead we were thinking.
Fashion Headwear
British heritage meets NY street style every day in the Kangol store. Virid designed a solution that speaks to an international audience while still maintaining Kangol's position as a relevant fashion headwear brand. Seasonal in nature, the store features campaign imagery throughout while embracing a blank canvas framework that supports every iteration without significant redesign. Product pages feature generous imagery and simple purchases, hallmarks of the site's marketAgility underpinnings.
trina turk
Palm Springs Inspired Fashion
Trina Turk was looking for a simple, clean, undesigned framework to house her Palm Springs inspired fashion collection. Virid delivered an elegant solution both flexible and fast that allows the strong campaign and lifestyle imagery to take center stage and dominate the discussion. A simple lookbook and fabulous video content round out the editorial sections making the Trina Turk site a destination for all brand aficionados.
Fast-Fashion for the Tween Set
Another recent addition to the marketAgility platform, A'Gaci is also one of Virid's best examples of an editorialized shopping experience. From the homepage to the look book, to the product catalog, each product is contextualized multiple ways to provide the customer with an optimally designed and brand aligned experience that feels modern and slick while maintaining a high level of usability andsearch engine optimization.
The destination for Prom
The original design concepts for Windsor, elevated the brand focusing on their core product categories of formalwear and event dresses. The site was designed to feel youthfully sexy while establishing a visual language that felt like"going out." Following the metaphor, we reworked the navigation around events as a secondary path to the standard product categorization and pushed the trend sections of the site to the forefront to keep the fast-fashion feel so deeply ingrained in the Windsor brand heritage. The current site was NOT designed by Virid, though it is still powered by the marketAgility platform.

BLUEBIRDS LIVE: Yate Town 3 Chippenham Town 2

- LATEST: Yate Town 3 Chippenham Town 2
- Chippenham crash out of the FA Cup at the first qualifying round
- Two early goals in the second half prove decisive for Yate Town
- Dan Barnes reports from Lodge Road
Make sure that you check out next week's Gazette and Herald and gazetteandherald.co.uk for all the latest Chippenham Town news
Chippenham caretaker assistant coach Adam Tudor on today's FA Cup defeat: "We're extremely disappointed. It's a game we should be winning.
"We started poorly in the first half and then everything that we talked about at half-time was forgotten when we came out in the second half.
"Other than a spell in the first half and a spell in the second half, I thought that we were on top but we couldn't get that third goal.
"We had to make a change at half-time because of an injury, taking off Ben Murray, and putting Griff (Alan Griffin) at the back but we just did everything but put the ball in the net.
"It's disappointing because cup runs are important for the club; for the promotion that it brings and the financial side of things, but unfortunately, that's not up for grabs."
But that's that. There'll be no FA Cup run for Chippenham Town this season as they come unstuck at Yate Town in the first qualifying round.
The hosts were the better side for most of the first half and those two quick-fire goals at the start of the second period won the tie.
We're into the third added minute and Chippenham win a corner...Ben John is going up!
McClennan gets in down the right and the ball eventually falls to Isaac Reid, whose strike was on target before it was cleared by the Yate defence
We're into added time now
Corner to Chippenham in the final minute. Griffin goes close to making contact but the delivery whistles out to safety
Five minutes left for Chippenham to find an equaliser
A late lifeline for the Bluebirds? A McClennan corner takes a deflection off the outstretched arm of Yate keeper Horsell and fortuitously bounces into the net off the back of Greg Tindle! It's 3-2 at Lodge Road
Yate Town 3 Chippenham Town 2
Bluebirds go close with ten minutes to go. Iain Harvey hits an instinctive effort goalwards but it's headed off the line!
Chippenham bombard the Yate box for a spell but just can't find a shooting opportunity.
There's a short break at the moment as Hulbert requires attention following a hefty last-ditch challenge from Guthrie
Yate break on the counter-attack and somehow it's four v one! But Hulbert goes for the top corner and gets his strike all wrong
Chippenham's Tovey is booked. Somehow. The full-back puts in a strong challenge on Cox and the Yate man yelps in pain. But Tovey took nothing but the ball and is harshly shown a yellow card for his troubles
Chippenham are huffing and puffing at the moment. Yate look content to sit on their healthy lead and the Bluebirds can't quite find a way to get in behind the home defence
SUBSTITUTION: Joe Lennox comes off for former Yate striker Tom Knighton
Then McClennan has a go with a fierce effort from range, that's beaten away by the Yate keeper
Guthrie goes for goal from a free-kick but Horsell gathers the ball
So there's a mountain to climb for the Bluebirds now. They're facing up to falling at the first hurdle in the FA Cup unless they find something from somewhere - fast.
We're 12 minutes into the second half at Lodge Road
Staley gets hold of the ball in the box and lays off into the path of Meaker, whose strike is turned around the post by John. Yate have got their tails up
It's all going wrong for Chippenham. Haldane plays a superb one-two with winger Staley, who fires hom across the face of John to make it 3-1. The Bluebirds are shellshocked as the Bluebells score two in the space of four minutes!
Yate Town 3 Chippenham Town 1
At the other end, Purnell hits a side-footed effort narrowly wide of the target
Yate restore their lead and that was way too easy from a Chippenham perspective. Hulbert gets in down the right flank and crosses for Meaker, whose found space inbetween Tindle and Griffin, to nod home into the net
Yate Town 2 Chippenham Town 1
Second half underway
Alan Griffin goes back to centre-back, with Reid up top
The two sides emerge for the second period and Chippenham have made a change, with striker Isaac Reid replacing defender Murray
And that brings proceedings to a close after a frantic end to the first half.
Yate have been impressive so far and deserved their lead after carving out a host of goalscoring opportunities but it's level at half-time after that equaliser from McClennan.
It's finely poised in the FA Cup
Yate Town 1 Chippenham Town 1
At the other end, Yate's Cox puts a dangerous ball into the box that goes all the way before John gathers
And McClennan almost nets an even more spectacular second! The Bluebirds man senses the chance to lob Hosell from range and forces the Yate keeper to tip over his own crossbar at full stretch!
And respond they do. Chippenham level with a cracker from Joe McClennan. The winger picks up the ball in the centre of the pitch and drives left before smacking a superb left-footed strike past the despairing Horsell.
Yate Town 1 Chippenham Town 1
The Bluebirds need a response now. There's around five minutes of the first half remaining at Lodge Road
You can't say it hadn't been coming. There's a bit of a scramble midway into the Chippenham half as Haldane attempts to carry the ball forward and it eventually falls to winger Ross Staley, jinks to the left before firing a bouncing effort from range that beats John before nestling in the side-netting
Yate Town 1 Chippenham Town 0
Despite that chance, The game has quietened down somewhat. It's evenly-matched and Yate have had all of the chances, but crucially, it's still goalless
Yate's Hulbert sends Meaker racing towards goal with a superb ball. The striker goes for goal from a wide angle but John stretches out an arm to stop the effort
McClennan hits a ferocious effort from range but it's actually stopped by his team-mate Griffin! The Bluebirds win a corner as Yate clear up the afters
Harley Purnell hits a powerful strike goalwards from range but his effort slams into a host of Yate bodies in the area
Chippenham haven't really hit their stride yet but it's still very early days
Another big chance for the hosts. Striker Meeker beats Ben Murray to the byline and crosses for Hulbert, who skews his effort across the face of goal
Griffin beats Yate keeper Martin Horsell to a Guthrie cross but there's no-one following up to have an effort on goal
And Yate should be ahead! Cox picks out former Frome Town man Ricky Hulbert with a pinpoint cross but the striker somehow brings the ball down out of the air tamely, rather than getting a shot away!
The Yate bench have their heads in their hands
Ben John is tested early on! The Bluebirds keeper has to tip Jake Cox's deflected free-kick over the bar.
Shortly afterwards, Ross Staley lets fly from range and it's far off-target. The hosts have started brightly
Yate win a free-kick in a shooting position after Haldane takes a tumble on the edge of the area
Guthrie has started at left-back but McClennan and Lennox look to have been something of a free reign behind the strikers.
The pair are both playing extremely narrow
And we're undeway in the FA Cup! Chippenham kick-off going from right to left
Chippenham are wearing thier lime green away strip whilst Yate in their usual White shirts. Remember, there'll be replay at Hardenhuish Park next Tuesday if today ends in a draw
And the two sides are out at Lodge Road
Can you feel the magic of the cup? Is this the start of a glorious march to Wembley for Chippenham? Stick with Bluebirds Live to find out!
So it looks as though the Bluebirds will revert to their usual 4-4-2 formation today but with Jack Allward away on holiday, it looks as though one of the wingers will have to fill in at left-back. Could that be debutant Joe Lennox or James Guthrie?
Another possible line-up could see Tovey, Murray and Tindle line up in defence, with Guthrie and Lennox on the flanks and McClennan playing in the hole behind the two strikers.
We'll see in about 15 minutes' time!
YATE TOWN: Martin Horsell, Jake Cox, Mitch Harrison, Joe Chandler, Tom Seery, Bradley Abrahams, Lewis Haldane, Mike Bryant (c), Michael Meeker, Ricky Hulbert, Ross Staley.
SUBS: James Harmer, Jordan Rogers, Jake Jackson, Nuno Felix, Martin Lenihan
CHIPPENHAM TOWN TEAM TO PLAY YATE TOWN: Ben John, Stuart Tovey, Joe Lennox, Iain Harvey, Greg Tindle, Ben Murray, Joe McClennan, Harley Purnell, Alan Griffin (c), Lee Phillips, James Guthrie.
SUBS: Tom Knighton, Isaac Reid, Joe Tumelty, Steve Winter
Ben Murray also starts for Chippenham. On-loan Exeter City man Jordan Tillson isn't involved today, with his month-long deal due to expire this week
The teams are in. Stuart Tovey and Joe Lennox both start for the Bluebirds whilst Tom Knighton has to be content with a place on the bench against his old team
We're just waiting for the official team sheet, so we'll bring you today's line-ups as soon as possible
In case you haven't been keeping a close eye on gazetteandherald.co.uk/sport, you may have missed the news that Chippenham caretaker boss Steve Winter has been busy adding to his squad this week.
Former Plymouth Argyle winger Joe Lennox has come to Hardenhuish Park, along with ex-Clevedon Town defender Ben Murray.
Full-backs Stuart Tovey, who was signed from Paulton Rovers, and Luke Murden, made their Bluebirds debuts in last Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Cambridge City, and could also be involved today
Also involved today on the home side is defender Tom Seery who had a brief spells with the Bluebirds last season.
Former Bristol Rovers and Port Vale striker Lewis Haldane (pictured), who lives in Chippenham, is expected to lead the line for Yate.
The Bluebirds' memorable cup run last season saw them come agonisingly close of reaching the first round of the competition before falling to a late Gloucester City goal at Cheltenham Town's Whaddon Road ground.
Yate, meanwhile, went on a historic run to the first round. And starring in that cup run were Tom Knighton (pictured after scoring against Newport County last year) and Harley Purnell, who look set to take on their old club this afternoon.

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Expects the -- taking another step toward cracking down on spam text messages.
Laws already ban unsolicited text messages but that hasn't done much to prevent a lot of spam.
Now the Federal Communications Commission reports it's reviewing a petition.
One that seeks to ban the Internet.
To phone text messaging which experts call a form of auto dialing.
This now foxnews.com science and technology editor Jeremy -- they're talking about when you get on the computer and -- -- text messages to a lot of people on the phones.
Right which isn't really all that coming just yet but it's definitely the future it's going to be happening a lot more frequently as we can go forward I get some weird and stuff like that it feels like it's generated in that way you get a little bit of an analogy don't -- very much of it but it is.
Remarkably easy to do there are.
Dozens I would say web -- right now that you just go over -- to plug a couple of -- -- -- -- -- text message addresses in there.
-- on the phone number is -- controversy here so what's going on there's a couple of companies -- -- using is largely for politics right now -- case you are getting the president there you go.
Is that a spam is that something you that actually no we signed up for it when we go to their campaign things you -- -- -- from both sides.
So if that's -- requested that OK maybe that's all right although.
There are arguments on both sides there.
But this is this broadens out to a larger thing as soon as it's -- you know a big company did send you information or something you don't want at all -- Viagra things come into you know that's really invasive.
To let me put another -- your hand here.
What is it to you that is sending the spam messages you -- at what point is regulation become something becomes a little bit overpowering if it's me doing it someone has taken over my body.
Well where there is no chance of that -- -- -- fantasy football league you've got fifty friends you've got all their phone numbers you plug them into a message thing Obama on line.
Every gets -- -- we do that.
Is that illegal all the sun under this -- good question I thought it was just if it came from Modesto.
Well you know it's up to that they're still working on the regulation they're looking at it if they've asked for requests to see you know who thinks what which side here right now it sounds like what they're.
What they're talking about is not a phone number to a phone number texting.
But an Internet connection to a phone texting precisely but I could see a future that's integral to fend -- -- I could see a future that something that is essential.
To me communicating with all my friends on FaceBook for example right there's a lot of ways and that could just be.
The natural natural evolution of text messaging.
And as soon as the FC steps in and says -- you can't do that.
And -- you get special permission unless you're registered in addition there are -- concerns of free speech concerns.
There's a lot of those I would say it's a big free speech issue as well I mean for example we're talking -- Tennessee football league you've got a right to talk to your buddies you know you wanna -- -- -- -- team.
The only from when.
Which of course you are if we can beat those hogs in Little Rock this week in Abu Dhabi have these -- on the planet.
I'm rooting for the patriots must for this for a week what -- -- it's patriots have a great weekend and hopefully we don't get rained out thank you --

Zahir Belounis has spent the best part of the last two years without wages, a club or any prospect of returning home but the French Algerian footballer now faces his immediate future without the most basic of commodities.
"I will stop food, a hunger strike, I want to do that," explained the 33-year-old striker.
"It's going to start next week. They treat me like a dog but I will fight. I will die here in Qatar," he said in an interview with CNN last week.
Belounis, who had played in the lower reaches of French football, now plays for the Qatari first division club El Jaish, the army club.
Or at least, he claims, he should be.
Despite, he alleges, holding a contract that lasts until 2015 he claims to have been frozen out, threatened, moved to other clubs against his will, gone unpaid and finally barred from leaving the country, leaving him, his wife and two young daughters trapped in Qatar.
A hunger strike, Belounis says, is his final throw of the dice.
"I will stop the food and sit there [in front of the Qatar Football Association office] and bring some documents until some important people listen to me," he said.
"I have enough evidence. I don't speak bad about Qatar. But there are people here who are not honest. I have two daughters to take care of. No one cares I have been without salary for 23 months."
Belounis is arguably one of the most high profile case to emerge regarding employee rights in Qatar -- reportedly its Labour Ministry received thousands of complaints last year.
When CNN contacted the Qatar Stars League and the Qatari Football Association, presenting them with Belounis' allegations, the QFA said that: "All parties are analyzing in depth the matter and action for defamation is being taken." They declined to respond to any specific allegations made by Belounis.
Kafala system
Since Qatar was awarded the right to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup finals, the tiny emirate of less than two million people, and barely 300,000 citizens, found next to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain -- has presented a glowing portrait of itself to the rest of the world.
Its royal family, led by Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani, is one of the richest in the world thanks to the discovery and exploitation of one of the largest natural gas field on earth in the late 1990s.
It has lavished money on European football too. The Qatar Foundation, funded by the same gas wealth, sponsors the shirts of Barcelona FC.
Another Spanish club, Malaga, reached the quarter finals of this year's UEFA Champions League largely thanks to a huge injection of Qatari funds.
And the Qatar Investment Authority, one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, bought Paris Saint-Germain, signing some of the game's greatest players as they march towards the French league title. The wages for the likes of David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have been lavish.
Yet according to Belounis, as well as several human rights groups, several players and thousands of construction workers who will be building the infrastructure for the World Cup have been abused, denied their wages and trapped in a system that they cannot escape from.
The so called Kafala system -- which ties employees to a specific employer -- has, according to Human Rights Watch and the International Trade Union Confederation, been open to systematic abuse and created a de facto form of slavery for its one million plus migrant workers living within its borders.
"Qatar has been quite successful at giving off a progressive image when, in fact, the [labor] system is exploitative," said Nicholas McGeehan of Human Rights Watch.
"It is the same old story. The kafala system, the confiscation of passports, the illegal charging of exorbitant agent fees, the inability for workers to access the courts for redress.
"Qatar has an exit visa system so you cannot leave the country without the sponsors say. You have a system where workers are trapped in the country and the same old abuses rear their head. Unpaid wages, wages held in arrears. It keeps workers credibly vulnerable," he added.
The system has prompted one international labor organisation to call for FIFA to strip Qatar of the 2022 World Cup over the treatment of its migrant workers.
The vast majority hail from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, working long hours for little pay in the construction industry. On site temperatures can reach 50 degrees in the summer.
