Big mistake: Wenger have made 50,000 substitutions?

Arsenal lost 1-2 at home to Man Utd. One substitution Arsene made surely seemed doubtful to everyone. But I would like to comment on one news that about Aresne's defence on his decision.

The full news can be seen as SKY Sports:

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12047/7448943/

The quote is:

"I've been a manager for 30 years and have made 50,000 substitutions. I do not have to justify every decision I make to you (the Press). I stand up for it."

According to Wikipedia, up to 22 January 2012, Wenger has managed 1317 games (since 1984). The maximum substitutions he can make is 1317 * 3 = 3951.The statistic may not be accurate. But even if we assume he managed 2000 games, he can only made 6000 substitutions. There is no near 50000!

As I cannot find the interview video contains such conversation, so I don't know whether this came from Wenger or just the editor put the wrong figure.

In both case, the one with a brain should sense there is something wrong with such 50000! But ironically, such sentence has been quoted on many other website (include bbc).

2012 is not gonna to be a normal year - January So far

Although I'm not believing the film <2012>, this year seems definitely to be historical.

So far, many things happened as you would like to believe they are stories:

  • You may think "Titanic" is an old story only happened in the old days. Costa Concordia tells you that history is copyable, no matter how advance the technology is.
  • It had been like an overlord, but even like Kodak cannot stand the change of time. 
Sometimes, you may always believe something would never happen. You may be wrong in 2012!

Identify Song Name by Singing, Playing or Humming - Online Tools - TechMynd

It happens all the time. We forget the name of our favorite song even when we can hum it. Sometimes we may record a short clip of any song being played, in bar or restaurant but can not figure out its name or title. We may have a short clip of any music recorded in our PC but we may not figure out which song it is. Search engines also fail to help in this matter because you need few words or title of the song to get it via Google or Bing. So here is the problem. How do you identify a songorhow do you find out the title of song that you have recorded from somewhere or the song you can hum but can’t remember anything about its name, artist or album?

Ajax Control ToolKit – Style the invalid date for Calendar extender

The September 2011 release introduces “Date ranges” for Calendar extender control. It is a little surprise that the Css classes to style the out of range dates are not listed in the official website.

I did some search on the web but it returns not relevant results. So I decided to have a look at the css style generated by the control itself and I have found the missing style Css classes for the out of range date.

The name is “.ajax__calendar .ajax__calendar_invalid” and it has four child classes listed below:

.ajax__calendar .ajax__calendar_invalid .ajax__calendar_day {}
 
.ajax__calendar .ajax__calendar_invalid .ajax__calendar_month {}
 
.ajax__calendar .ajax__calendar_invalid .ajax__calendar_year {}
 
.ajax__calendar .ajax__calendar_invalid .ajax__calendar_today {}

If using the following styles:


.calendar .ajax__calendar_invalid

{

background-color: #FFFFFF;

text-decoration: line-through;

color: #C0C0C0;
}


The calendar looks like:

If you need set the day, month and year view individually, you have to set the relevant child class.
