Did Towsend get a wild card for the Australian Open 2013?
There's a 14-year old out there who can beat her?? Pretty amazing...
TOWNSEND DID NOT go to Georgia
TOWNSEND DID NOT go to Georgia to the best of my understanding
No Australian Open 2013-no wild card
There is a chance that her career is over
See as well
A lot of great players don't go to AO. The junior AO is always a notch below the other ones, and just filled with the players that can afford the tickets. It's too far and exhausting. Townsend just signed with Lagardere Unlimited, she has funding, I would think she is getting ready for the pro level which means a lot of changes for her personally, to her game, and her fitness, etc. Her career is not over.
Just to clarify
The original idea was to play the SENIOR AUSTRALIAN OPEN after qualifying in Georgia and a ticket to be paid by USTA.
I was NOT talking about playing the JUNIOR AO.
Now she will play two challengers in January.
Please see as well the quote from the link
As AO junior champion she was offered a Wild Card to the slam senior qualifying. However, we learn from her Twitter conversation with Irina Khromatcheva, "I'm not going to go just for qualies.. It's too far and too expensive!" she posted at the end of November (whole conversation). It clearly indicates she won't be able to play, because she can count only on her own financial resources, and these are limited. Unlike junior world leaders from any other country in the world, the American tennis current biggest hope appears to be on her own. Townsend was not even invited for the USTA AO Wildcard play-off. Another communication problem?

Well it is strange that Taylor was not at the AO playoff in Atlanta. They had been advertising it with Taylor's picture on the posters/website for months.
Given that that the junior AO is the only one of the four majors she's won, that's hardly a compliment.
"Also competing in the women's field are former top-ranked Georgia Tech singles star Irina Falconi (22, Jupiter, Fla.), the one-time world No. 73 and Pan American Games gold medalist who reached the third round of the 2011 US Open; Mallory Burdette (21, Jackson, Ga.), the former Stanford standout who reached the third round of the 2012 US Open after winning a USTA Wild Card; Madison Keys (17, Rock Island, Ill.), last year's Australian Open Wild Card Playoff winner who is the second-youngest player ranked in the WTA top 140 after winning a $75,000 USTA Pro Circuit event in Phoenix this November; Maria Sanchez (23, Modesto, Calif.), once the top-ranked college singles player at Southern California who won a $50,000 and a $75,000 USTA Pro Circuit event in 2012 to boost her ranking more than 560 places since 2011; Alexa Glatch (21, Newport Beach, Calif.), who was the runner-up to current World No. 1 Victoria Azarenka in the 2005 US Open junior championship; Julia Cohen (23, Philadelphia), who broke through to the WTA top 100 in (No. 97) in July; and Alison Riske (22, Pittsburgh), who has played in the main draw of the Australian Open (2011-12) and Wimbledon (2010-11) twice."
USTA Player Development must have thought that the eight ladies invited to the playoff tournament are better than Taylor at this moment. But I am quite sure that Taylor would have a better chance of becoming a top 50 players in the world in a few years than several players who were invited to the playoff. Perhaps it's a good idea for USTA to spend a few thousands to allow and encourage Taylor to play the Australian Open qualification.
IMHO, the best teenager in Boca won the AO qualies in Atlanta (Madison Keys). While she may not get the publicity, Keys is more comparable to Serena. Heck she beat Serena when she was 14.
I'm not 100% sure right now, but I think Taylor was initially invited, but maybe pulled out.
Steve Johnson and Jack Sock were on the original list for the guys, both both pulled out and were replaced.
I think Sanchez and Falconi were the two replacements on the girls' side, or the last two choices.
Edit: Ok, seems I was wrong. Doesnt look like Taylor was invited at all.
I really want hear if someone at least confronted the old man and had him removed. There's obviously no part for that needed, anywhere.
I would hope that Taylor Townsend is aiming for top 1 in the world, not top 50. To do that she has to get into fantastic shape. Though nothing is for sure, I think she could certainly be top 50 without improving a lot.
That's a painful read. It's very difficult to follow your writing. You should have someone proof and edit for you if you're going to cover tennis in English speaking countries.
But, how can you say "there is a chance her career is over"? She hasn't even played her first pro event. Is this statement purely based on skipping the Aussie? Heck, McEnroe skipped the Aussie a ton. You have a Phd?
Pat mac in a fake beard?
Yeah that pissed me off too. Dude should have been removed if this story is legit. Anybody heckling teenagers like that is a POS.
Ana Konjuh, who will turn 15 in a day or two, mentioned after beating Taylor in 3 sets in the Orange Bowl semi that she noticed Taylor was tired in the 3rd set. Madison Keys is another young American who has been mentioned as the next Williams. Yes aiming #1 would surely motivate Taylor to train harder on and off the courts.
Just to have a comparison
Please click and see the quality of serve
For comparison Taylor Townsend
Re Ana Konjuh; I have no empirical evidence but seriously doubt she is 14. I saw her play the Eddie Herr G14 doubles final in 2011 when she would have been 13. She served at 110, hit 80mph groundies and had quads bigger than mine. She stands 5' 10" has an unusually deep voice and I personally herd her tell the tournament director that she was thrilled to finally win, as this was her 6th time playing the Eddie Herr. Hmmmm... that would mean she was playing the 12s when she was 7? Not likely. More believable is that the Serbian Federation gave her a new passport with a brand new birth year. International competition is filled with players who falsify their age. At this year's Eddie Herr my daughter heard two boys in the registration line complaining about a player they know is 18, playing the 16s. Interestingly, one of the boys asked his friend why he's complaining when he does the same thing. His answer was that "everybody's doing it, so why not?" I know it's impossible to police foreign players, but there should be some system that compares past registrations against current, to see if anyone suddenly got younger. TDs are so confrontation averse they prefer to look the other way, and collect the fee.
She is Croatian,NOT Serbian
Just for the record
She is Croatian,NOT Serbian
She is almost 15 as of today
She is almost 15 as of today
Even in 2012, with Obama as our president, the sad fact is that there is
still quite a bit of racism in the U.S. It's a bit more veiled and less open
but definitely still there. Less so in the NE and west coast, though.
Also, ironic that the U.S. was a country created by illegal immigrants and
today there are still many people against immigration.
your last sentence there , if I recall right the USA was a territory that people immigrated to and once it became a country and established laws and borders then "ILLEGAL" immigration was and still is frowned upon .
Not sure if I have it right but didn't they have it set up at some island for people immigrating here legally would be there learn the language, learn the laws , the history ?
BTW i live in CA where I am watching illegal immigration destroy neighborhood after neighborhood and causing a lot of problems for our American citizens in our schools, hospital ,gangs ect. It has nothing to do with racism which your accusing me of because I would deport all of them today if I was President because the one we have and had have no backbone to do whats right !
TT has a WTA ranking of 498
TT has a WTA ranking of 498
It was a land that was already inhabited by various peoples (now referred to
as Native Americans.) It wasn't uninhabited lands. There were people already
here that had a rich culture. Same with the lands south of what is now the USA.
The claims or racism often heard in the media are often tactics coming from those trying to intimidate and discredit those who disagree with their position and has nothing to do with race. Many of these claims have little merit. Does racism remain? Sadly yes, but that is changing for the better all the time.
The U.S. was created by those who legally immigrated. Legal immigration is a process that is encouraged by the U.S. and those who come to this country legally are welcomed.
My calling the initial European settlers
"illegal immigrants" isn't totally
correct, but the early Europeans who
came to the US didn't exactly check
with the Native Americans if it was
ok to take over the land, etc.
There were people living for a long
time in the part of North America
now known as the USA long before
the European setters came and formed
the US.
I've always found it ironic that kids in the US are taught that America was "discovered" by a European, when there were millions of people living here for hundreds of years before or more. Europeans came here to escape tyranny and became conquers to those who lived here. I'm American and love this country, but living in an international family gives a different perspective on many things, including history.
Canada falls into the same category but no one mentions them. Same can be said of many countries around the world. But, it's always a favorite to pick on the U.S.
Many countries were formed by conquest, war, etc. I don't think people "pick on" the US - but Americans do tend to gloss over that ugly bit of history, that's all.
That why it was so suspicious when the Serbian Federation issued a new passport to her.
"Not totally correct" is apparently a euphemism for "total nonsense."
But two can play this game. Let's call the colonists "immigrants" and then ask: How did massive immigration work out for the Native Americans? How well has it worked out for any group that allowed a huge influx of foreigners to eventually outnumber them? Any historical examples of how well that worked out?
Out of the many many many tribes of Indians here in Anerica who was in charge and which tribe sold NY to those who settled their ? America has and ugly past because there were people here that would take your scalp off for pleasure and war depending on their mood and I am ok with that " your land do what you want" but also be prepared to be overtaken which is ugly too !
Legal immigration is controlled and is not easy. It is a lengthy process and still not guaranteed for anyone/everyone. Influx of population through illegal immigration that is not controlled and has no accountability to meet is a different story.
Imagine someone "discovered" your house and decided to move on in. Wouldn't you defend it? A little different than being in a "mood".
Great posts ClarkC, thanks for the late night chuckles. Always on your toes.
I missed something...what does Townsend skipping the quallies in Melbourne have to do with native Americans and scalpings?
Started with non-sense from onehandbh. Have to ask him/her.
Addition to post#18
The DVD of Taylor Townsend quoted in post #18 is NOT
from the 2012 Orange Bowl.
It is is from the 2012 Easter Bowl.
My player at 15 was already standing 6'3 and hitting the crap out of the ball now at 16 he is 6'5 ,so this girl could be what she is . girls mature fast and if they are working her as I do my player I dont find it hard to believe .
Cause governments are idiots . I am finally getting mine backafter 4 years of them holding it !! And I am a nice guy ....
Coach: Looks like you are skipping Australian Open. I think that is a good move. Playing any clay ITF's before French?
That's the movie "Pacific Heights." A scary movie actually.
As far as the immigration stuff, people in these comfortable times keep trying to put our values, morals, mores, and customs on people in past centuries. You have no knowledge without knowing the context of the times.
Lol. I actually thought db is playing in the opens now.
ha. ya the overhype gets old.
I'll be in Europe during the french open this year. If I bring my son I'll bring his rackets and post here he is playing in then French open.
Excellent. Good luck to your son at the FO!
If you have known her since birth, I defer to your first-hand knowledge. Otherwise, I maintain my personal belief that the stated age is false. Parroting a falsehood does not make it true.
I don't know this girl, Ana Konjuh, but I do know that a friend of mine who is Croatian, has a daughter who is 5'10" and 15 years old, just turned. Her husband is not over 5'10"(American Italian) and mom is a bit shorter. People from the region of Dinaric Alps are among the tallest in the world, and that region covers part of Croatia. Apart from that according to Wiki Croats are among the tallest nations in the world. Let's assume she is done with puberty, very likely as she is almost 15, I would say her height she not out of ordinary for her region. Is Taylor 5'6" really? Looks taller in pics. Where does this Ana train? I find it interesting that both boys are girls OB 18s winners are from former Yugoslavia but do they train at home? Where does that kid that won boys OB train? Does anybody know?
Separate names with a comma.

SAN JOSE, CA -- Jim DeRose has exited Global VR after three years as president and chief executive officer, and almost as long as chairman. A short letter by DeRose said his resignation, effective May 30, was "in the best interests of the company," but offered no specific reason for his decision.
GVR's board named executive vice-president of operations Ken Bayer new president. Patrick Imeson, managing director of Black Diamond Financial Group, GVR's financial backer, assumes chairman responsibilities.
The outgoing chief joined the company in April 2005, succeeding GVR founder and original president Milind Bharvirkar. DeRose said he was proud to have led the videogame company to a position of industry leadership by building a strong management team and business infrastructure, as reflected by the releases of games such as EA Sports Nascar Racing and the Blazing Angels flight simulator.
Bayer has served as vice-president of operations since 1999, coming to the company with 15 years' prior experience in high-technology management. Since that time, he has overseen the engineering and manufacturing of almost 30 products. He said the company "will continue to deliver outstanding products for players and provide excellent financial returns for operators and distributors."
Imeson, a longtime GVR board member, said, "We are confident that the company will continue to deliver on its promise of high-quality games and that it is uniquely poised to leverage its talent and relationships to further the company's business interests."
DeRose is the third high-ranking U.S. videogame manufacturing executive to leave a company this year. President Rick Rochetti exited Sega Amusements USA early this year after four years in the post; former Namco America president Kevin Hayes, who stepped down from that post last year to focus on his responsibilities leading Namco Cybertainment, exited Namco in March after more than 20 years with the
PHOTO: Jim DeRose resigned as Global VR's chief executive on May 30. During his three-year tenure, the videogame maker grew almost three times its size since he was installed in the top executive post.
Prior to joining GVR, DeRose served as president for videogame maker Acclaim, as well as PDI/Dreamworks, Mattel USA and the Hanes Division of Sara Lee Corp. He often reminded operators that he got his first coin-op experience by driving a vending delivery truck many years ago.
In other news, Global VR is releasing Need For Speed Carbon in mid-June. The kit will upgrade earlier versions in the Need For Speed video driving series. Carbon adds new graphics in urban and drift racing settings. Customizable cars include tuners, American muscle and exotics. Players can build a personal career by mastering all car types and earning up to 40 "specialty cars" that can be used in any game mode and stored in personal garages. The first Need for Speed was released in October 2003; GT and Underground followed.

International Equine Disease Report, Fourth Quarter 2010
The International Collating Center, Newmarket, United Kingdom, and other sources reported the following disease outbreaks in the fourth quarter* of 2010.
Contagious equine metritis (CEM) was reported in Germany (two mares) and France (one case). No evidence of T. equigenitalis was found in 292 stallions (114 Quarter Horses) located in 28 states in the U.S. that were screened as part of a voluntary testing program by USDA Animal Plant Inspection Service Veterinary Services.
Isolated cases of equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) related respiratory disease were diagnosed in Germany and Italy. Cases of EHV-1 abortion were confirmed in Argentina (two), Japan (five cases on four premises), South Africa (15 cases on five premises), France (one), Germany (one), UK (two), and the U.S. (six in Kentucky).
Two cases of EHV-1 related neurologic disease in trotters were diagnosed in France. An outbreak in the U.K. involved 10 of 40 horses in a livery stable; nine were successfully treated. France recorded outbreaks of EHV-1 respiratory and neurologic disease on three premises, characterized by fever, anorexia, coughing, and nasal discharge accompanied by neurologic signs of varying severity. An additional two cases were confirmed in foals; one died.
An extensive outbreak of EHV-4 associated respiratory disease was reported in 4- to 6-month-old foals in Argentina. Limited cases were also diagnosed in Switzerland (EHV-4 detected with EHV-5), the U.K., and the U.S.
Equine influenza was reported from France (two cases, two premises) and the U.K. (one case).
Strangles was reported from France (nine premises), Germany (two cases), Ireland (seven cases on four premises), Sweden (riding stables, one racing stable, and one stud farm), Switzerland (isolated cases), the U.K. (endemic, especially among non- Thoroughbreds), and the U.S. (limited cases in Kentucky and Florida). An extensive outbreak of strangles occurred in recently captured range horses in the U.S. Bureau of Land Management facility in Utah, and multiple isolations of S. equi and S. zooepidemicus were made from abscessed glands.
Equine infectious anemia was confirmed in Western Queensland, Australia (three cases); France (two cases, one that had been imported from Romania via Belgium); Germany (22 continuing outbreaks in four federal states); and Italy (15 outbreaks).
France, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates report that equine piroplasmosis (EP) is endemic in their respective countries. Germany diagnosed one case of Theileria equi and two cases of Babesia caballi infections. The U.S. reported primarily T. equi infections as part of an extensive testing and follow-up investigation program resulting from the 2009 discovery of the disease on a ranch in Texas. Of 2,500 horses tested, 413 T. equi seropositive horses were all epidemiologically linked to the index premises. An additional 143 horses (the vast majority seropositive for T. equi) unrelated to the index premises in Texas have been identified in 16 states. Many of the positive horses are Quarter Horse racehorses with representation from other breeds, including Thoroughbreds. Several horses had been imported into the U.S., many from known EP-endemic countries. Nine states currently require EP testing for horses competing in sanctioned horse racing events. Further epidemiological investigations and testing are continuing.
The U.K. reported two stallions persistently infected with equine arteritis virus (one was a recent import); both animals have been gelded.
The U.S. reported 36 cases of Eastern equine encephalomyelitis since late September. Of the 10 affected states, the highest number of cases were in New York and Michigan.
West Nile encephalitis was reported from Italy (14 outbreaks) and the U.S. (86 cases), where the majority of affected horses were unvaccinated.
Salmonellosis was diagnosed in Germany (three cases) and Ireland (two cases). One case of leptospiral infection (not abortion related) was reported in Kentucky, and a case of abortion associated with Enterobacter agglomerans was reported in Queensland, Australia.
Infection with Lawsonia intracellularis was confirmed in 18 foals in Kentucky and one in Indiana.

Norma,As you know, from the photos of Mack's pizzas we have seen, they can take on different looks at different times. However, you sure could have fooled me that your latest effort was not a real Mack's pizza. Was it as good as it looks and did it otherwise taste like a real Mack's pizza? And what kind of fat did you use in the dough, and did it matter?Peter
Norma,I am not sure whether we have captured the spirit of a Mack's pizza. The hardest pizza to try to reverse engineer and clone is one where all you essentially have is a lot of photos, with many possible looks, some hearsay (like type/brand of flour and tomatoes) and maybe some pizza weights taken from baked pizzas. No ingredients list, no Nutrition Facts, no dough ball weights or cheese and sauce weights, and no dough making/management steps to guide you. It becomes essentially an exercise in trying to determine the principles embodied in the target pizza and how to incorporate them into a test dough. The rest is essentially trying out different things. Something as simple as the type of cheese can tie you up in knots. With all your skill, knowledge and talent, maybe someday you can get a job at Mack's and then tell all of us how close we came with the Mack's clone. I wouldn't expect or want you to reveal any of Mack's trade secrets, since I would not want to see you in handcuffs and in orange prison garb when you make an appearance before the Court. I would just like to know whether we got it right or not--a simple yes or no answer. Peter
Wow Norma, that last effort, with the yellowish cheese coloration, looks just about dead on!!! Since you'll probably get to it before I will, for a valid attempt at a Papa Dino's clone, try adding salt, black pepper, and a little dehydrated minced onion to the Gangi sauce and maybe starting with a 80% mild cheddar, 10% mozzarella, 10% provolone mix for the cheese.From what I read elsewhere on the internet this morning while performing a little research, cheeses are best served at room temperature and cheddar should be allowed to warm before using on a pizza in order to prevent excessive "oiling out".How's your belly, BTW? LOL
Pete,Thanks for posting that in my last attempt the yellowish cheese coloration looks just about dead on. You might get to try a Papa Dinos pizza before I do, but I appreciate you posting what I should try. I want to visit Papa Dinos first to see what I can find out and also get to try their pizza again. It has been many years since I tried out a Papa Dinos pizza. If, and when I have the time, I will start another thread about the Papa Ginos attempt since it isnt a boardwalk pizza. Trying to clone any pizza is not the easiest task, as I have found out. I had a lot of help on this thread from different members. I also have worked with Peter in some other cloning projects and they can become quite long and involved. I also want to try a few more Macks attempts before I even try a Papa Ginos attempt. I still am not sure if the AMPI mild white cheddar is what Macks is using, but so far it shows the most promise in melting and taste.I always thought cheddars oiled off more from the higher fat content in the cheddars.Thanks for asking about my belly, but today it is fine today. Steve also ate some of the cheddar that was left out and although he said he also had a little belly ache his wasnt like mine. I just think mine was from the heat, long day at market and not getting enough sleep the night before market. Norma
Well, I certainly apologize if my apparently poor advice gave you and Steve a bellyache, Norma. It's definitely more fun to do it with a little good humor and the laughter that results, and I'm not talking about that phony ice cream, either. I was talking to my lovely sister Karen yesterday and she informed me she heard a rumor that the Groffs might be opening up another Papa Dino's location somewhere in the area again soon. I'll let you know if and when I find out more.
Pete,No need to apologize. I dont think it was the cheese that was left out that gave Steve and me the problem. Steve also had a really bad back on Tuesday and hardly could get around. We always find humor in anything at market. We have a bunch of great stand holders near where I am located and also many good humored friends and stand holders that stop by to chat. It would be good if the Groff family opened another Papa Dinos in the area soon.Norma
Hello Norma, new here, 2nd post, ) YES!!!, Came here as I was googling macs pizza, trying to figure out some tricks here and there, and WOW, cam across this post! SO ALSOME! ))) I myself have been a fan of Macs for, lets see , 30 years, Im 38 now, dad took me to Wildwood forever, and the pizza was alsome!! SO< I would LOVEEE to Join this venture on figuring out how to make the Perfect Macs /Manco and manco Pizza!!!!.. SO , may I ask you first, seems like someone went dumpster diving a while back in the posts, and figured out the sauce they use, can you tell me where I can buy that? Since that is the easiest part now I guess, then I can try the dough and cheese... ) I do not own a pizza store, I am a just a person who loves MACS!! this is so cool, thanks!!
Thanks, Norma!!! That made me feel a little better as well. Laughter is the best medicine, they say, even if it hurts once and awhile. LOL I haven't heard anything additional concerning a possible new PD location as of yet. Regarding the fact that Papa Dino's is not a boardwalk pizza per se, it does appear to share a common ancestory with the boardwalk-types as it, along with Mack's, Manco's, and even Grotto's are all very similar in construction and flavor profile.
I know Papa Dinos does share a common ancestry with the boardwalk types, being it tastes almost like Macks. When I have chance to visit Papa Ginos if I can get some pictures I will post them on the Restaurant reviews for pizzerias. It is up to the moderators if the Papa Ginos is allowed on this thread since it really isnt a boardwalk pizza. A new thread could always be started if we decide to pursue trying to make a Papa Ginos pizza and links back to this thread could be given.
Norma, you might want to edit your recent post to correct your references to Papa Gino's. I believe you mean Papa Dino's. I think you did the same in an earlier post. Peter
I agree with Norma that it is best not to use this thread to discuss the Papa Dino's style of pizza, given that this thread has been focusing on the Mack's et al style of pizza from pretty much the beginning.
Papas Dino's? What's that? The only reason I brought it up, Peter, is because it was already mentioned earlier in this thread.

New topic-wood burning cars. They were at one point common in Europe during World War II-in general, they worked, but were ineffcient, stalled regulary, and emitted a foul stench. However, several cars have been built in recent years that run off of wood gases. Basically, wood is heated to near-combustion to produce flamable gasses which are then injected into the cylinders of the engine and ignited in the conventional way with spark plugs, and these don't emit the foul smell and smoke, due to the exhaust being passed through water and a catalyic converter/particle filter.
So does anyone think that wood has a future as a fuel for cars?

Thanks for that. I'll have a goat what you said, then have a go at the ZA staff as you suggest to see if they can come up with anything. I will return.

Yes, please follow all the steps suggested by support and always come back to them in case it did not work. You need to go through a standard troubelshooting before the issue is logged and eventually escalated.
UUhhm, does not look promising...
See second screenshot here:
Under the application control section push on "settings". Its the same place where you find the MAX settings for application control that you should have changed already from AUTO to MAX.
Have set AUTO to MAX, but I still can't see anything to do with 'DefenseNet'.
Ah Ha. Found it. Wasnt paying attention. 1/10, see teacher.
I'll try that on my 64bit machine in a bit and report back.
PS. What does 'DefenseNet' do anyway?

Tried that. Deleted LT from program control. Still did not popup for LT.
Off to ZA help now.
1. Application control: MAX (not AUTO)
2. DefenseNET: OFF (or manual)
Remove LT entry, repeat the process two or three times. If still fails time to follow-up with support.
Yes, Ive done that and contacted ZACS and sent them a log and await their reply.
After doing a lot of experimentation, it seems that ZA .250 on my 64bit machine allows LT through by default (Access ticked). It can be blocked by manually setting it to Deny, but even if set to Ask, it does not. A default setting of Allow semms to me to be a bit silly, if the firewal does not block a firewall tester.
ZA .246 on my 32 bit machine behaves exactly as I would hope it would.
Great, thank you for the follow up. Let us know if you will receive any information from support.

Hey everyone! I have been thinking about something lately and wanted your guys' opinions.
We know that Nagato distributed his 6 paths over 6 bodies because he had mobility problems. When Hanzou and Danzou teamed up, Nagato as permanently crippled from a paper-bomb attack. My question is who exactly gave him the idea to use bodies to perform his Jutsu? I mean its a very good idea as to how to bypass his limitations, but did he really think of it himself, or did someone else give him the idea?
Now I'd love to think that Tobi gave him the idea considering Pain had been taking his orders for a long time, but how could Tobi have known it would work? I mean Tobi is as knowledgeable about the Rinnegan as anyone, but I highly doubt that there was anyone before Nagato who used the Rinnegan in that way. I mean one of the ultimate benefits of the paths is the shared vision, but I doubt anyone before Nagato actually discovered that perk of the Rinnegan. Basically what I'm saying is that perhaps this was simply an experiment of Konan / Nagato and they simply discovered the usefulness of the technique, something that not even the sage ever discovered.
Get my point here? I doubt that Tobi had knowledge of using the Rinnegan this way and if that was the case, the actual idea might have been developed by Konan / Nagato out of necessity. Anyway, I'd like your guys' opinions on the matter so vote in the poll and post up!

The Big Waltz Is Over, and We're the Matildas
The Way We Live Now: girly. Meaning incapable of being paid what we're worth! Will the mighty USA one day be nothing more than a pit stop where Chinese Masters of the Universe pick up free cupcakes? It seems likely.
Econometrics have proven that you'll never get anywhere as far as wealth is concerned if you stick with "girly" jobs like kindergarten teacher or social worker, I don't know, doll ribbon arranger. The reason for this is that "women may just like these jobs despite the low pay," which is an economist's way of saying that women are bad at math.
Whereas Larry Summers works in the White House now.
If you're capable of envisioning this girly issue as a metaphor, America is the girly place, doing jobs on the cheap like suckers, while China, now the second biggest economy in the world, is the badass coming up in our rearview mirror all sputtering smoke and fire, and they're kicking in our humble girly door and they're picking up some cupcakes (which is all our economy "makes," in the modern age) and they look at us with their fiery economic eyes and gruffly demand "How much are these cupcakes, girls?" and we just freeze up and we're like "Uh... they're free! Everything is free! Take whatever you want, sir!"
We can't even get it together to accept credit cards in restaurants, any more.
But, this is how it is, now, might as well get used to it. Put on your finest old threadbare ballgown and dance to the tunes of despair, for our empire hath fallen. I mean we're still technically #1, but, you know, China, and we're scared and all that. This is the current operating theory. Do with it what you wish—in a feminine manner.

Cherrystone Auktion
Terms of Sale
All bidders (including auction agents) are subject to the following Conditions of Sale. Feel free to print out this page for future reference. Thank you.
1. On all lots sold a commission of 15% on the hammer price is payable by the buyer.
2. The terms of sale are strictly cash on delivery to the highest bidder unless special arrangements have been made prior to the sale. The fact that an item is placed on extension (submitted to an expertising committee for certification) does not relieve the successful bidder from this condition of sale.
3. All bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale. The right is reserved to group two or more lots; to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, or to act on behalf of the seller. Cherrystone will bid on behalf of clients, but will not be responsible for any errors in the execution of bidding instructions. The auctioneer shall regulate the bidding and in the event of any dispute his decision shall be final.
4. All lots are offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the seller. It may also be inferred that all sellers have been given advances against the sale of their material and therefore we have a financial interest in such lots over and above the sellers commission they are charged.
5. Any lot, the description of which is incorrect, is returnable, but only within 14 days of receipt. All disputed lots must be returned intact as received. The following lots may not be returned for any reason whatsoever: Lots containing ten or more stamps; Lots from buyers who have had the opportunity to examine them before the sale; Lots described as having defects or faults may not be returned because of any faults. No illustrated lots may be returned because of centering, margins or other factors shown in the illustrations.
6. Successful bidders, unless they are known to us or supply acceptable references are expected to make payment in full before the lots are delivered. Mail bidders will be notified of the amounts of their purchases. All mail bidders who have established credit with us must make payment within three days after receipt. We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to demand cash payment at the time a lot is knocked down to any bidder who has not previously established credit with us or whose account is in arrears. In the event any buyer refuses to pay cash for any lot at the time it is knocked down to him, the auctioneer reserves the right to reoffer the lot immediately for sale to the highest bidder. Sales tax will be added to purchases where applicable.
7. If the purchase price has not been paid within the time limit, nor lots taken up within seven days from date of sale they may be resold and any loss arising from such sale will be charged to the defaulter. Any account more than thirty days in arrears is subject to a late payment charge of 2% per month so long as the account remains in arrears. If the auctioneer, in his discretion, should institute any action to secure payment of a delinquent account the defaulting purchaser shall pay all expenses incurred by the auctioneer and such charges will be added to the amount owed.
8. All lots are sold as genuine, but should any lot be proved otherwise by written opinion of any competent, responsible authority acceptable to us, immediate refund of the full purchase price will be made, provided that such claim is made in writing within 25 days from date of sale. If claim is not made within this period, no lots are returnable for any reason at any time. So long as we are notified within the 25 day period that an opinion is being sought and the material is submitted to an acceptable authority within that period the matter will remain open until such opinion is rendered. All "Extension" lots will be considered cleared and satisfactory to the buyer if we are not notified to the contrary within six months from date of sale. We will not be responsible for any charges incurred by the buyer for expertization fees and costs unless the opinion states the item is not genuine, in which case we will pay actual costs up to a maximum of $50.00. In the event an item is proved "not as described" it is returnable for full refund, and the buyer will be paid interest (at the prevailing Treasury Bill Rate) for the time his funds have been on deposit with us during the extension period.
9. Until paid for in full, all lots remain the property of Cherrystone Stamp Center, Inc. on behalf of the seller.
10. Some consignors have been advanced monies against the sale of their properties.
11. All forwarding and handling charges will be added to the purchase price. The mode of shipment shall be at our option unless we are given specific instructions.

No lots can be sent for inspection within ten days from date of local viewing. Large lots and collections cannot be sent for inspection. Photocopies of lots are available at 50c per page.
13. Agents are responsible for all purchases made on behalf of their clients unless other arrangements are made prior to the sale.

McGee Needs to be a Viable Rays Relief Option
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jake McGee is one of the Rays young pitchers I worry about as the Rays Pitchers and Catchers report date (2/15) ticks closer. I'm not concerned about his past painful journey, or even his pitching arsenal. I am worried that McGee might get pushed into the same multi-functional category as New York Yankees starter/reliever Joba Chamberlain by possibly wear too many MLB caps instead of being focused in one finite direction.
On the surface the aspect of a MLB rookie to possessing such flexibility might not seem dangerous. It might be seen as ultimately valuable to the Major League squad to have a pitcher who can perform the multiple duties of both starter or a reliever in their bag of tricks. But that transformation comes with its own set of perils and dangers.
Some have speculated that Chamberlain has been flip flopped once too often in his short Yankee career swapping his role from starter to relief, and that his overall pitching has been effected by the juggling. There is a distinctive different make-up for a pitcher who performs every five days as opposed to a pitcher who has to ready at the beck and call of your Manager on a daily basis.
Not only are there many different mental aspects to take into consideration between the two options, but the modus operandi of each individual facet of pitching both in preparing and game day prep take on a completely different feel and clarity withg both spots in the roster. I would hate to see the Rays make the same Chamberlain type mistakes with McGee.
This is a southpaw who as recently as 2008 was considered by Baseball America to be the 5th best prospect in all of minor league baseball. Suddenly the mid-2008 Tommy John's surgery to repair a left elbow unlar collateral tear instantly halted McGee's meteoric rise through the Rays farm system.
When MLB.com issued their 2011 Top 50 Major League Baseball prospects list recently, McGee's name was not anywhere to be seen on that list. That is why I am worried about McGee. Not that his confidence could ebb or that his talent has peaked, but with a fall from grace sometimes you get thought of in a different light by your organization. Possibly changing your whole future dynamic with the franchise.
You only have to look into the Rays Centerfield to see a perfect example of changing a player's direction in their MLB career. B J Upton was considered to be the "Rays shortstop of the future". Suddenly when a few clouds of doubt or concerns reared their ugly heads, Upton was on a carousel of positional stops from Third Base, to Second Base to finally landing in Centerfield. Ultimately the "Rays shortstop of the future" got to look in to see his supposed pre-destined position from a completely different angle.
I bring this up because there are whispers that McGee might not be brought into the Rays 2011 Spring Training as a relief candidate. He might again be stretched out as a starting candidate, possibly for Triple-A. Most would think this flexibility in McGee's game is commendable, but I see it as a variation of the same familiar path that the Yankees took with Chamberlain early on in his development. I personally feel that New York ruined a talented ballplayer and made him mediocre by the year-to-year flipping of his job description.
Even during the 2010 Rays minor league season there are indications that the team might be flip flopping on McGee's potential MLB abilities. When the Rays promoted McGee on September 14,2010 he had previously been appearing mostly as a reliever for the Triple-A Durham Bulls since his August 7,2010 promotion from Double-A Montgomery.
Here is where a huge Rays red flag begins to fly really high for me with possible Chamberlain type comparisons. McGee appeared in only 11 Bulls games, all in relief except for a solo start before his Major League promotion. McGee posted an overall Bulls 0.52 ERA in 17.1 innings with 27 strikeouts and a .148 opponents batting average. All stellar relief credentials that should show a talent for that relief side of the game.
The interesting side twist is that McGee started the 2010 season with Montgomery where he started 19 games, going 3-7 over 88 innings with 100 strikeouts. If you start a guy early on in the minor league season as a starter in the higher levels of your farm system, then why did he suddenly transform into a relief candidate upon promotion to Triple-A?
Surely the Rays, who have a lack of quality left-handers in their relief corps would realistically have McGee come into Spring Training camp as a bona fide relief candidate. But there are more than a few whispers that McGee will be extended out again this Spring to become a starter, possibly for the Triple-A Bulls.
This flabbergasts me totally. Here is a player who demonstrated, even on a short term MLB relief test, that he can perform at a higher level and instead he might be considered to start games instead of hone his craft as a reliever in either the MLB or at Triple-A?
I really hope this is just one of those erroneous rumors that pop up about this time of the year just to test the waters, then proves to be totally false. McGee could be a great left-handed option for the Rays out of the Bullpen for a long, long time.
The idea of pushing McGee starting again with Rays left-handed farm system talent like leftie starter Alex Torres waiting in the wings is simply bananas. McGee could fill a huge need gap in the Rays system by learning the craft of relief while also gaining a boatload of confidence and possibly transform into a future closer option for the Rays.
The Rays have never been known to grow in-house relief talent at the back of the Bullpen, McGee could eventually be the key to breaking that farm system cycle.
Even if McGee didn't make the Rays final 25-man roster out of Spring Training and went down for some intensive late inning work with Durham, it would benefit McGee and the Rays tremendously. Putting McGee into a rotation spot, even on the short term, could push McGee closer towards a possible Chamberlain burnout situation where McGee is being pulled in two distinctive different pitching directions.
I am not discounting McGee's worth as a starter here, but his overall value as a reliever, even at the Triple-A level, fully trumps his consideration again for a starting nod. McGee is too good of a pitching talent to have to ultimately re-invent his pitching style on a monthly basis. His value right now to the Rays is as a key southpaw reliever, possibly even fulfilling the spot as the Rays designated left-handed specialist.
But McGee will need to work on his relief craft to push down his 2010 short term 3.87 ERA against left-handers. The talent is there, it just has to be tweaked and plucked and possibly pulled out from within McGee to flourish as a member of the Rays relief corps. With the talent potential and possible chance for McGee to find some roster security, I truly feel the relief corps is his best possible position for the McGee and the Rays.
Because McGee has shown in his brief Durham stint that he has the kind of pitching to punish hitters in the late innings, it is all up to the Rays now With Rays Manager Joe Maddon's constant juggling of pitchers and hitters to force favorable match-ups during the late innings of Rays contests, McGee is a valuable tool the Rays really need to succeed in 2011, but all that could be tarnished, or possibly dismissed if the Rays rumor is true that McGee will again be a starter. That would be a crying shame.

I agree completely. Not only do they need to make a decision for McGee himself, however, the Rays need to realistically look at their own needs with him. He's left handed: Definitely needed. He's excelling as a reliever thus far: also needed.
When I heard they were considering keeping him a a starting pitcher I thought only one thing: Why? At Double-A he was average really. Not to mention, he's already had Tommy John surgery, so there's questions about longevity. However, when they tried him as a reliever he looked very, very sharp. Why not let me excel as that? At first he might still want to be a starter, but if he can transition into a top notch/reliever closer, it might be even better for him.
And from the Rays point of view… We already have a surplus of starting pitching. Over the next couple of years Alex Torres and Chris Archer are probably going to be ready. Is McGee ever realistically going to get a shot? Is there even a need to?
You are valid on all your points!
I thought when the Rays called McGee up in August to Durham and only started him once, they had made a decision to "test" if he had relievers' stuff in his arsenal. Then when he made his MLB debut, he did not shine bright, but also did not cost us the contest.
Like J P Howell, starters sometimes are reluctant to push themselves towards the relief role. But Howell is also an example of a player whobecame average as a starter, but had huge potentialand ultimately talent to be used anywhere in the Bullpen.
Hopefully McGee will also see the good side of only having to throw 30 pitches instead of 100 in a contest.
Rays Renegade
For the record, I don't think he's related to Willie ;-)
I also think he was not the inspiration for "Me and Bobby McGee" either…He was not born yet.
But hopefully before he is done playing someone might think of writing him some prose, possibly a little diddy as his warm-up music….You never know!
Rays Renegade
Well said! I think another pitcher that you could use as an example is Jeff Samardzija with the Cubs. A young pitcher needs a defined role in my opinion. Bouncing around from the rotation to the bullpen and from the Majors to the minors only slows the progression. I think it's hurt Chamberlain and Samardzija. I hope McGee is able to avoid this and be successful in 2011.
Jeff Samardzija is another great example. I actually thought maybe the Cubbies had decided on his "path", but someone in the know ( You) showed me that he is teetering on the same wire.
We all know that MLB teams do not do this on purpose, they do it to put the best talent on the field.
But sometimes the aspect of "doing what's best" for a great talent can be destructive. Just ask ex-Rays P Matt White. At least White got a $ 10 million check for his troubles( as a signing bonus)
Rays Renegade
This seems to be a common theme in MLB these days.
Chris Sale (White Sox), Ardolis Chapman (Reds), Neftali Feliz (Rangers) are a few more examples of highly talented young arms who are going into ST with undefined roles, and yet their clubs seem to be counting on them to fill key roles.
I know for me personally, if I just know what my employer expects from me, and what role I am to play, that I can prepare for just about anything. I'd imagine it's the same for a big league pitcher.
I'd love to see him in the pen too…but if you want to make him a starter…do it…and don't look back.
Define a role…and stick with it.
High talent seems to be pushed into so many directions at times it would make a normal players head spin. The Yankees have taken two of their prominent starters and converted them into relievers. One is back in the rotation, while the other is let twisting in the wind with possiblt changes every season.
The Rays did it to B J Upton moving him from short-to-third-to-second-to finally centerfield.
Field players can adapt with more clarity while pitchers have to follow to different preparation regiments to either start or relieve in games.
Still thin McGee to Durham until mid-May, woking out of the Bulls Bullpen closing, setting up or in any situation bring about a better confidence in him as a relief candidate for the future.

The robber used helmets, hats, sunglasses and a wig to disguise his appearance. He did not display a weapon but would jump over the counter and grab cash.
A Port Charlotte man has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank robbery in connection with a string of cases that federal prosecutors say included the robbery at a Bank of America branch in Belleview on Aug. 12, 2012.
Marcus D. Lloyd, 36, also pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery and faces maximum prison sentences of five years for conspiracy and 20 years for bank robbery, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida.
According to a plea agreement, Lloyd, aided and abetted by a woman named Kaylee Sanchez, robbed six banks in Florida between July 26, 2012, and Aug. 21, 2012.
Lloyd used helmets, hats, sunglasses and a wig to disguise his appearance. He did not display a weapon, but would jump or climb over counters and grab cash from the drawers. Prosecutors allege that Sanchez acted as his getaway driver.
Lloyd's robberies totaled more than $91,000, according to the news release.
In the Belleview case, the robber casually entered the Bank of America at 5222 SE Abshier Blvd. sometime after 11 a.m. and walked up to a teller's position. He placed both hands on the elevated counter and leaped over it, Belleview police officials said at the time.
The man demanded cash from the teller and told her to hurry up. With the cash in some type of bag, he leaped back over the counter and quickly walked out. He never showed a gun or other weapon, or implied he had one.
Police believed Lloyd was dropped off by someone driving a silver vehicle, near the nearby Kangaroo gas station.

A week after passing a motion to increase parking rates throughout the downtown area to the first reading of ordinance form, the City Council unanimously decided to table the motion and make sure raising the parking rates was appropriate.
"Could we hold off making this change until we get into the budget process and have staff come back and make the cuts first, and then if we need to add some money to it, come back and revisit this?," asked Councilman Jim Hall. "This isn't a cut. This is making the government bigger."
Parking rates at the Inlet lot have been the same for six years, although the price has varied slightly depending on the day of the week and the time of the year. City Manager Dennis Dare last week proposed increasing the Inlet rates to $1.50 per hour in April, May, September and October and to $2.25 from Memorial Day to Labor Day weekends. He said the rate is similar to other resorts and would be a fair price for visitors to pay for the "prime parking real estate."
Yet, despite the $900,000 in annual revenue that this increase, alongside the quarter raise (to $1.25 per hour from April 15-Oct. 15) in pay rates at the downtown's Cale Pay machines would generate, the City Council tabled the motion on the grounds of merely making sure they weren't "pricing the town out" as Jim Hall said last week.
"I voted against this last week when this was brought forward, and not because it's a 25-cent increase or because I don't think that maybe we can do this. I think it's too much money to put on the tourists. It's almost a million dollars. You are asking the tourists, the day trippers and you are asking people that live here that take their families down there to pay more money," said Hall.
Several members of the council thought that the raise in rates was feasible, but still voted alongside Jim Hall to table the motion.
"I believe the increase is responsible, but I can support a postponement of this, and maybe clarify between a revenue enhancement or a revenue shift, and maybe take some of the burden off the taxpayer," said Councilman Joe Hall.
Councilman Lloyd Martin supported the motion to postpone the ordinance as well, but warned the council not to drag their feet on the matter.
"I think it's a fair price for parking down there. We have to raise new revenue and cut costs, and it has to come from somewhere. I understand wanting to hold off for a bit, but I am worried that we will wait too long," said Martin.
City Solicitor Guy Ayres said that since the pay changes wouldn't take effect until April 15, the council "has some time to figure out what [you] want to do."
Council President Joe Mitrecic said that he thinks the "user pays" format that has always been in effect at the Inlet is the bigger issue than where the town is getting the money.
"Raising the rates brings us in line with other resorts, and people don't have to park there. For day-trippers, it's a very small fee to pay and sometimes that's the only fee they pay for coming to town," said Mitrecic. "We are looking at all ways to offset the drops in revenue this year, and I'm not interested in taking almost a million dollars of money and spending it on a new project. We are trying to maintain what we already have and are struggling with."
The council will bring the issue back to the work session table in the near future and slight changes could be made before attempting to pass it into ordinance form. Joe Hall hoped that a shorter timeframe might be a good way to offset the price hike for users.
"I want the issue brought back of the effective dates. Why don't we go Springfest to Sunfest, as that might alleviate the loss of higher rates, with a shorter season in which to pay those higher rates," he said.

Inputs and Outputs Notes
Supplied Software
LCD Monitor: The Canon PowerShot A4000 IS has a 3.0" TFT LCD monitor, featuring 230,000 pixels with approximately 100% picture coverage. The Night Display feature automatically brightens the LCD monitor to suit the brightness of the subject, making it easier to frame the subject in dark conditions.
Image Sensor/Processor: The camera is equipped with a 1/2.3" CCD image sensor with 16.6-million total pixels, and 16.0-million effective pixels. The A4000 uses the DIGIC 4 processor to give you clear photos with accurate colors and less noise.
Face Detection Technology: The camera's Face Detection Technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you're ready to shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash, and white balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and backgrounds are properly exposed.
Face Self-Timer: The Face Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in the number of faces, and makes the appropriate adjustments. When the Face Detection Self-Timer is set, the camera waits for the photographer's face to get on-camera before it takes the shot. The camera will shoot, two seconds after the new face is detected.
Optics: The A4000 IS has a 8x optical zoom lens with a 5-40mm focal length (35mm equivalent is 28-224mm).
Zoom: In addition to the 8x optical zoom, the camera features a 4x digital zoom. When used in combination, the total zoom is approximately 32x. The focal length when using the optical zoom and digital zoom together is approximately 28-896mm.
Recording Media: The camera records still images or movies with monaural audio on SD Memory Cards (2GB or less), SDHC Memory Cards (4GB to 32GB), and SDXC Memory Cards (32GB and higher). The camera does not have internal memory, nor does it include an SD card, so you will be required to obtain a memory card before recording.
Still Image Resolution/Compression: The A4000 IS can record still images in JPEG format in 5 different resolutions: Large (4608 x 3456), Medium 1 (3264 x 2448), Medium 2 (1600 x 1200), Small (640 x 480), and Widescreen (4608 x 2592).
Movies: Movies can be recorded in MOV format (Image data: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, Audio data: Linear PCM 2 channel monaural) in High Definition at 1280 x 720 (25 fps). You can also shoot in Standard Definition at 640 x 480 pixels (30 fps). Recording will automatically stop when either the clip file size reaches 4 GB or the recording time reaches approximately 30 minutes. Other movie options include iFrame Movie and Miniature Effect.
Continuous Shooting Mode: You can use the continuous shooting mode to shoot successive frames while the shutter button is fully pressed. You can shoot continuously at approximately 0.8 image per second in Program Mode. In the Low Light mode, the rate increases to 2.8 shots per second.
AutoFocus Frame Modes: The camera utilizes TTL (through-the-lens) automatic focusing with two focusing methods:
AF-Point Zoom: You can magnify the AF frame and check the focus. In Face Detect mode, the face selected as the main subject will appear magnified in the monitor. In Center mode, the contents of the center AF frame will appear magnified.
Auto Focus Lock: If it becomes difficult to focus on the subject due to low contrast to the surroundings, close up and far away subjects in the same shot, or quickly moving subjects, you can choose to lock the focus or auto focus on an object at a similar distance, then shoot the picture after recomposing the shot.
Focusing Range: The camera features the following focus ranges (from the end of the lens):
Shooting Modes: You can switch between the following shooting modes: Smart Auto, Program, Live View Control, Portrait, Face Self-timer, Low Light, Fisheye Effect, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Monochrome, Super Vivid, Poster Effect, Snow, Fireworks, Long Shutter, Discreet, and iFrame Movie.
Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes:
Exposure Compensation: If you are shooting against a bright background or strong backlight, you may need to correct the exposure so that the subject doesn't come out too dark. You can set the adjustments from -2 to +2 in 1/3-step increments.
Locking the Exposure Setting (AE Lock): You can set the focus and exposure separately to shoot. When the exposure is set, you can lock the setting, then compose the scene and shoot. This is effective when the contrast is too strong between the subject and background, or when a subject is backlit. Flash Exposure Lock (FE Lock), just as with the AE lock, lets you lock the exposure for shooting with the flash.
White Balance: You can choose from the following white balance settings: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, and Custom.
Flash Modes: The PowerShot A4000 IS has a built-in flash with a range of 1.6' to 9.8' in Wide Angle and 3.3' to 6.6' in Telephoto. You can select Auto (flash fires in low light), On (flash always fires), Slow Synchro, or Off (flash doesn't fire). In the menu, you can turn on the Red-Eye Reduction lamp for the flash, and apply Red-Eye Correction to the images that have been taken.
ISO Speed: The ISO speed can be set Automatically (ISO Auto), or manually to ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, or 1600. Lowering the ISO speed results in sharper images but there's a greater chance of subject or image blurring in certain shooting conditions. Raising the ISO speed results in a faster shutter speed, reducing blurred images. The images, however, will appear more coarse.
Special Effects: You can choose the look and feel of the photos you take by applying special effects to the image you are currently recording or have already recorded. Effects include: Super Vivid, Poster Effect, Fish-eye Effect, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera Effect, and Shooting in Monochrome (Black & White, Sepia, or Blue & White).
Self-Timer: The A4000 IS utilizes a 10-second, 2-second, and a custom self-timer to allow the photographer to be included in the shot, or to avoid camera shake when using a tripod. The custom self-timer allows you to set the time delay to 1-15, 20, 25, or 30 seconds for up to 10 shots.
Slide Show: Images stored on a memory card can automatically be displayed one-by-one using the Slide Show function. You can set the playback time for each image, and the transition effects when switching between images. If desired, you can repeat the slide show automatically.
Index Display: This feature allows you to view 4, 9, 36, or 100 images at once on the LCD monitor so that you can search for an image quickly. Movies cannot be played in the index playback mode. You can view the index display by pressing the zoom button toward wide angle while the camera is in playback mode.
Magnifying Images: Using the zoom button, you can magnify a photo up to 10x. Once zoomed in, you can use the "arrow" buttons to move around the displayed area.
Playback Displays: You can choose from three types of displays:
Red-Eye Correction: You can correct red eyes in already recorded images. However, red eyes may not be automatically detected in some images such as faces near the screen edge, faces that appear extremely small, larger dark or bright in relation to the overall image and faces turned to the side or at a diagonal and faces with a portion hidden which prevents the Red-Eye Correction from working. You can choose to overwrite the file with the corrected image, or store the image as a new file, retaining the original image.
Resizing Images: You can save images a lower recording pixel setting than the original image, saving the resized image as a separate file.
Trimming: You can cut out a portion of a recorded image and save it as a new image file.
Protecting Images: The protect feature allows you to protect important images from accidental erasure. You can protect images by the image itself or select All Images.
PictBridge: Using the supplied USB cable, you can connect this camera directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer of any brand. You can also connect the camera directly to certain Canon SELPHY compact photo printers and PIXMA inkjet photo printers. In this way, you can make prints directly from the camera without having to connect to a computer.
Power Requirements: The PowerShot A4000 IS is powered by the supplied NB-11L Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack (3.6 Volts / 680mAh / 2.5Wh). A fully charged battery pack can provide power for up to approximately 175 shots, 50 minutes of movie shooting time, or 4 hours of playback time. The NB-9L is charged in approximately 120 minutes in the supplied CB-2LD battery charger.
Date/Time Battery: The camera uses a backup battery for maintaining the date and time data for approximately 3 weeks. The backup battery charges in approximately 4 hours while a charged main battery (NB-11L) is inserted, or the camera is connected to an external AC adapter.
Power Saving Functions: The camera is equipped with the following power saving functions:
Note: The Power Saving Function will not activate during a Slide-Show or while the camera is connected to a computer.
A/V Out / Digital Terminal: The camera has a Mini-B Version 2.0 USB terminal to allow you to connect the camera to a compatible computer or compatible Canon printer via the supplied USB cable. This USB 2.0 Hi-Speed-compatible terminal allows you to rapidly download images to your computer or printer. You can also connect the camera to a TV (via composite video and monaural audio) using the optional AVC-DC400 A/V cable in the same terminal. The A/V output can be set to NTSC or PAL as needed.
Included Software: The PowerShot A4000 IS comes supplied with the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk Version 105.0 CD-ROM. It contains the following programs:

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
I've handled enough point-and-shoot cameras to know what the basic functions are and how to use them without consulting the manual. But that's not true for everybody. So I was really glad to see the help button on the A4000 IS. It provides info on what each option on each button does and lets you dig deeper for more info on some of them. The help button is a great feature for first-time camera owners. And it's not just for beginners I learned a thing or two using the help button myself!

I'm really rather boring actually. I work at a grocery store. I love J.K. Rowling for all that she is, and the fact that her mind gave birth to the Harry Potter phenominon. I love to read anything I can get my hands on. I often frequent the second-hand book store in town. I've always written throughout my whole life and had dreams of writing a novel, but I'm very unsure of my abilities. Let me know how I'm doing.
If you'd like to learn more about me or chat with me about any and all things Potter, just visit my Myspace. I do post blogs of Potter Drabbles that I come up with from time to time. I'd actually like some input on them because my friends, unfortunately, are not interested. . . *Warning: Upon entering my universe, you shall see that I am a little on the different side. You have been forwarned. . .*

When I visited Yellowstone, the tour guide said that the beasts one sees are called "Bisons" (or more accurately the American Bison [wikipedia.org]), and "Buffaloes" is the wrong name for them. Buffaloes [wikipedia.org] are a pair of two different genus altogether, common in Asia and Africa.
In Hebrew, one calls Bisons "bizonim", but people also sometimes refer to them as "Buffaloes", albeit it is common knowledge that they shouldn't be called that way.

As most are aware, fishing on the Indian River and Banana River is going off. Reports from other guides are showing big fish from Mosquito Lagoon as well! I've been scouting new areas for clients and I've found some fish well off the beaten path from my normal area that make a damn fine picture! Smaller redfish are smacking topwaters all day long and the STILL hot trout bite dies off around 8am. Switch to weedless weighted jerk baits and look for sandy pot holes and watch the bite pick right back up. How many times can you read that in one of my reports? Well, until they stop stacking up in them I will stop writing about it. Keep in mind that the bigger fish need to be handled VERY carefully! These big fish are what keeps our area stocked with such an abundance of fish.
I've also picked up an expensive hobby called fly fishing. Got in way over my head my 1st trip out with howling afternoon winds and small windows of sunshine... and the hole that was left in my wallet. Popped the cherry on my Nautilus on the 1st trip out and now I'm hooked. Don't let the picture deceive you. We were on the bank and the sun was shining when I caught this slot fish.

TROY – A teenager accused of killing her father appeared in court Thursday. Trinity Copeland was indicted on charges of second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter following the July shooting.
Most 17-year-old's this time of year are getting ready for Christmas. However, Copeland is heading back to jail after the indictment and arraignment at the Rensselaer County Courthouse.
The young-looking teenage girl -- who by all accounts from her neighbors was smart and had everything going for her -- did not speak in court.
Her family was present to hear the official charges.
Investigators say Copeland shot her father, Harlan Copeland, at the apartment they shared.
The case was adjourned for 45 days and Copeland was remanded to the Rensselaer County Jail without bail.

And if its 2008-09...why is there even talk about trading Marbury?
And if its 2008-09...why is there even talk about trading Marbury?
Okay thanks.
I dont know much about basketball. You can call me idiot if you want, oh well.
But, since his contract is up in a few years, than why are people on this forum saying that he should traded?
Can a player be traded, even if his contract is not yet up????
yes he can
he will be entering the downside of his career when his contrct is up. not many guards have their best years after 30. they quickly deteriorate. isiah thomas retired at 33.
whats the point of having him here for the next few years while the knicks are going to be a ****TY team. why not trade him in return for some real young prospects with superstar potential.
we DONT wanna give him a big contract when this one is up. that will be ANOTHER bad contract. he wont be worth max dollars at that point.
