In my first season with Leeds just beaten Chelsea in the League Cup Final 7-0! Beat that
O and on the way beat Tottenham and Norwich by comfortable score lines and currently top of the league, screenshots to follow if it allows me.

Mah is no big deal to be honest.
I won the league cup with Nuneaton when in the Championship,I beat Man Utd at Old Trafford on the way to the final 3-4.
The reason it is no big deal is the bigger clubs all play their under 18 players with 1 or 2 reserve players,something SI should tune a bit for future releases.
Although grats on the 7-0 win!
Don't forget it's in my very first season though, winning it on your 3rd/4th season is no big deal whoever you are.
Well done. I would like to see the line-ups if possible. Interested to see the Chelsea team. I have won the F A Cup with Leicester first season on FM12 but only played Man City of the top half prem teams and won 1-0 despite getting battered. That was also on release and it feels like they have been downgraded a touch with the last update. Don't think I could do it again.
How do you attach screenshots onto here?
Heres the lineup:
bostwick (C) 1
drahun 1
d.quintero scored hat-trick
l.griffiths 1
(sub - mouche) 1
Ok there central definsive pairing aint vidic and g.cahill but my team punnished them!

thank you marty. I don't have that will have to look into it.
On my save AI-controlled West Brom beat AI-controlled Chelsea 6:0, that was Carling Cup too.
That Chelsea line-up is a poor AI choice which is what daylight was suggesting. That doesn't diminish your achievement though as you can only beat what is in front of you. This was mentioned in another thread recently about an AI controlled league one side that won the cup because the bigger sides played mainly there under 21's. Even the biggest sides play full strength sides in cup finals IRL which is why it is a bit of an issue.
I find it hard to believe that you managed to sign Bressan with a Championship team.
i won the treble with a Serie B team in my first season (promotion, coppa italia, and won the 2012 Europa League final vs Arsenal). won the two super cups as well (vs Juve and Barcelona)
Ok start a save with leeds, bid 1m and see if you can sign bressan??
The more you guys don't believe my feat the more I believe it's a remarkable effort
Take a screenshot and upload it to imgur.com. You don't need to set up an account. That will solve all problems.
O and I must admit football manger is much harder than 2011, I had to change my winning tactics from 2011 and the majority of my favourite players weren't available... verkhotsov/shitov/guarch.... And playing teams with depleted player condition no longer gives you such a great advantage.
Why play as Leeds if in the first season you play none of their players?
I have never understood taking over a higher league team and tearing it apart in the 1st season,I enjoy making my own team but I start at the bottom..the very bottom but even then it takes me about 2-3 seasons to change the entire team.
Also I find players that do tear their teams apart have spent more time in the good player guide on this forum than they did playing the game for the 1st week they had the game,take that Leeds side 3 or 4 of those players are mentioned often in the forums.
I guess people enjoy playing the game they way they enjoy playing the game,for me though I would rather find the players myself and play my own game
Only in the world of FM is it easier to beat Chelsea in a cup final than it is to beat someone like Cardiff. When the cup draw is being made I always hope to get a high rep AI club because I know what sort of team they'll field against me. SI need to fix this for FM13 tbh. Well done on the 7-0 though.
Last edited by Jed_Leeds_ United_ Fan; 28-04-2012 at 20:38. Reason: .
Um because I like Man United too much to see them suffer at the hands of an AI manager. Just because you pick a top team doesn't you can't make a team your own. I care more about developing youngsters than first team players and I'll have success developing the world's best youngsters if I have a team with the finances to support a broad scouting network and top facilities.
But thats just me.
So I have not done that have I?? Every player I've bough on FM or Chamionship manager have always been found/scouted by myself. I once heard about Cristaldo but refused to buy him as I heard about how great he is from people on a football manager forum.
Regarding keeping the same team, as a leeds fan the biggest thing i was looking forward to from football manager 2012 was selling all the rubbish dead beat players in the leeds squad, obviously in real life I would probably keep snoddy/lees/clayton but on here it makes more sense to sell them as I can then bring in better players and have a more sucessfull save.
could someone please make those screenshots big on this tread please
lol its gone very quite, I bet ya all scrambling to get these diamonds I've found into ya teams
Rotation and prioritising fixtures is the sort of thing that must tie their programmers up in knots, to be fair. I hope they prioritise it on FM13 and find a much more realistic balance - where the AI clubs efficiently rotate and blood hot prospects throughout the season, and take league cups seriously in late stages, as occurs in real life. It'd make the world of difference.
Im a leeds fan by the way , we could of done with that team today, roll on next season so warnock can get rid of half them dillydonks
Ye can't wait for next season! clear out all the losers and hopefully build a good team
I had a similar piece of luck when I was managing QPR. Chelsea played that same young team with me too, only about 3-0 I think though.
Loaning out players to other Championship clubs for £2.4m per season seems rather unrealistic even if it isn't technically cheating. No wonder you had so much cash.
Not really, I sold snodgrass for £2.5m, in real life I would have got about £6/7M, in real I could have got about £4m for mccormack, also I could have got good prices on lees and white, so the point your making is a bit ridiculous really
If the game would just let me sell them players for there 'real lifer values' rather than loan them out I would have done so, so swings and roundabouts come to mind. Also regarding 2.4m I got in loaning out that player they have a clause that allows them to buy that player for 100k at anytime, so if I sell mccormack for £2.5m altogether, whats unfair about that?
Hehe somepeople do get a little jelouse when one has great sucess
So altogether i've spent £12.5M on players, in real life If I sold snodgrass,mccormack,lees,clayton I would probably have probably got more than £12.5m.
Lets say anodgrass £6m, Clayton £2.5m, Lees £2m, White £2m, Mccormack £4m = £16.5m, see the point I'm trying to make If anything I'm less well off than I would be in real life
It is not a jealous thing at all to be honest,my Nuneaton save has far greater success.
I think the point people are making is no manager would go into Leeds and sell their best players in season 1 and bring in a full new team of players in real life(as you keep bringing up real life).
The point is a bit mute though as everyone plays the game the way they see fit.
The subject has gone a bit off topic but going back on topic winning the league cup is pretty easy in the game with the way the AI chooses the players too play.
7-0 is still a great result but winning the league cup is not "great" success.
wow ...im suprised you can win anything with a team such as leeds utd
My Altrincham side beat the mighty Halifax 9-0 away... beat that!
Really not jealous at all. I think knocking Fiorentina out of Europe and beating Valencia with my newly promoted Politehnica Timisoara side from Romania is a far greater achievement than winning the league cup with Leeds when the big sides have rested all of their best players.
My point still stands. In real life teams at that level do not pay out £2.4m to loan players who they could buy for £4m as you stated his value to be. Also think your value of £6/7m for Snodgrass is biased and out of touch with reality. You may get a few m but not 6/7m. All that those types of loan deals do is exploit a weakness in the game. I've seen clubs bid £5m to loan players before when they wouldn't pay £2.5m to buy them. Nopt sure what the developers can do about it as I'm not a programmer, but it's a clear flaw.
Erm, Niebiescy, why are you coming on to someone else's thread and gloating about your own success? The guy simply is proud of his achievement, so why can't you let him be? Yes the transfers may be a bit strange, but that is the way he has chosen to play his game and that is up to him, it doesn't have to be done in conjunction with real life.
Although I agree with the comments about Snodgrass. If he is worth 7 million then Vaz Te should have been bought for 12million! Snodgrass is worth no more than 2.5/3 million i'm afraid lad.
You think that beating Fiorentina and Valencia in a competition where you face their best 11 isn't an achievement when you are a newly promoted Romanian team who's average player value is 100k or less and where the squad's combined value is less than one of your star Leeds players?
Premiership clubs pay £6/7m for star players from relegated clubs who have proven themselves in the Premiership (and it's very rare they receive anywhere near that much), not for Championship players who haven't proved themselves at the higher level.
Yes spot on. I'v beaten chelsea in a cup final with a championship side in my very first season 7-0, I haven't seen anyone else do that, that's why it's such a good achievement
So what he has beaten fiorentina/valencia, that counts for nothing if you've not won the trophy.. remember in real life when real madrid were beaten 3-0 by a non-league team, it does happen I bet the guys out there who reload matches would even struggle to beat this feat, O by which I beat Tottenham,villa and norwich, on the way, hardly an easy run!
A 17 year old with huge potential is completely different to a player in his mid 20s. Teenagers will always be worth more because they have the potential to become world class rather than just an ok Premiership player which is what a 24 year old offers. That's why I wouldn't classify the Southampton products alongside normal players like Snodgrass.
As a Leeds season ticket holder, I don't think that Snodgrass is that exceptional. He's been awful since Warnock took over. He's worth much less than you say. I'd say £2.5m is much more realistic. I've started to think that he's just an average winger, that excelled under Grayson.
Shane long last summer, Steven Fletcher the year before and Roger Johnson the year before that. That is three transfers in three seasons worth more than £5m from champ to prem without including "potential star" young players. These players are not considerably better (if at all) than Snodgrass.
Dave kitson, Kevin Doyle and a few others had prem experience with relegated teams so I have not listed them but they have large fees also.
Last edited by marty78; 29-04-2012 at 19:38.
Steven Fletcher played for Burnley in the Premiership before moving too Wolves after they were relegated,Shane Long was in the Premiership a few years back with Reading before they were relegated and Johnson played for Birmingham in the Premiership before the were relegated.
So every player you mentioned(including the ones you did not list)all had experience in the Premiership.
If you look at Snodgrass what team in the Premiership would pay 7 million for him?
He is never going to be good enough for a top 6 or 7 team,out of the rest of the teams who spends 7 million on a player?Let alone a player that has not done it in the top league.
I reckon he could get in say the Bolton/Wigan/Villa sides but they would only pay around the 2.5 million for him,for 7 million they could improve their team with 2 or 3 players.
He is a good enough player but he is maybe in the right league to be fair.
I had an unbelievable comeback last season on my Leverkusen save. Was 4-0 down away at Hoffenheim at HT so I decided to goal mentel on my team. Changed tactics to an very attacking style and the score ended up......
lol £2m at most?? It really is funny the lack of basic footballing knowledge that most people on the internet are missing. I'm almost wishing leeds sell snodgrass now just to prove you numpties wrong ..
SNODGRASS TO BUY WOULD COST £5/6M without question and he could prove to be a big hit in the premier league, how in gods earth do you guys know that he wouldn't??? He is tecnically gifted, has great composure, but unfortanatly is a bit slow. Alongside 2 or three others he has been one of the very top performers in the championship this season! At a paultry age of just 24 I think it is (fairly young), doing it at a big club like leeds/aswell as club captain his correct value is £5/6m... £2m in the words of alex ferguson would be a travesty and an absolute steal!
Yes sorry I should of worded that differently as I was replying to a poster who said PROVEN players. I forgot about Fletcher at Burnley to be fair but Johnson initially signed for Birmingham from Cardiff before moving on to Wolves. Shane Long certainly wasn't proven as in 50 PL matches for Reading he managed 5 goals. Thats 1 in 10 and its not like he is a playmaker or target man either. The point is £5m for Snodgrass would be no stranger than the fees for the average players listed above (and many more) imo. If Newcastle can get £35m for Carroll the why is this so unbelievable?
I'm a leicester fan and we spent approx £3.5m on Matt Mills(not £5m unless we are promoted) so Snodgrass seems a snip.
The thing about player values is they are set by what a selling team is prepared to sell for and what the buyers are prepared to buy for. I don't see why a prem team wouldn't pay £5m for Snodgrass if they rated him highly in the first place. After all Liverpool spent £55m on Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson so anything is possible.
Nice one Chica. 5 goals from 6 SOT is some strike rate buddy.
Ha Ha indeed. One of the longest threads in GD is about that.
I'm not doubting that Leeds could weasel 5-6M out of a club for him, but at 24 surely somebody in the Premier League would have taken a punt on him by now if they thought he was good enough. What he is realistically worth and how much he would go for are 2 different things, like value of a player on FM and how much he would actually be sold for. But considering you're saying he could be good in the premier league and the two players that I mentioned both won a league title as key members of the team and you are valuing Snodgrass at the same price as both them players were sold then I don't think it's us who "lack basic footballing knowledge".
So annoying how EVERY thread where someone wants to point something out that they've done turns into a ******* contest. Good job Jed and hopefully you're off to a very enjoyable save...even if it doesn't live up to the way that you're SUPPOSED to play the game according to the forum snobs.

I like these forums but yeah you can't win sometimes. Complain about something and everyone jumps on you but share a positive experience and, uh well, everyone jumps on you. I don't really care how much any of these players are worth and think it is almost impossible to put an accurate price on a player but I thought the op was a little hard done by with the criticisms. I'd of thought that if people didn't think an achievement was that great they would just post elsewhere. Obviously not.
Last edited by marty78; 29-04-2012 at 21:41.
I actually thought Shane Long played very well for Reading in the Premiership.
He was very highly regarded even during their relegation season and many pundits said that even though Reading were going down Long would not be.
In all honesty if you put Rooney in that Wolves side just how well would he do?
You need a team around you.
Just to add everyone in football knows that Liverpool overpaid/bought badly,it is no secret.
Also those guys can and I think will prove people wrong,they are still young players but will push on(although still bought for too much),if you think a team in the Premiership would pay 5 million for Snodgrass then you are smoking too much of the namesake minus the "Snod".
He is never going to make a top 10 team and the rest find it hard to spend 5 million on what could be a real great player.
Thank you dmac and marty.
Yes, it's funny how I get lynched when all I did was share an incredible result that I don't think anyone themselves have actually achieved in their first season with a championship club. Playing Chelsea In the final I was desperate to win, as like all of you it feels like **** to lose a cup final and to miss out on europe.. I would have taken a sneaky 1-0... but I absolutly trounced this side 7-0 and it could have been more!
I'm tempted now to set-up a competition with all these who critisize my achievments, to see who can do the best leeds save over the course of 3/5years! I will continue with this save or even start fresh just to prove a point.
And they go on about not playing the game fairly/realistically... I can only play the game that's put infront of me, I don't use any special tactics just my own in 'classic mode'.
Last edited by Jed_Leeds_ United_ Fan; 29-04-2012 at 21:58.
Thats the thing though just because that would make him overpriced doesn't mean it wouldn't happen. £5m for him would be far from being the most outrageous transfer of recent years. A club like QPR for example could afford him in the summer if Hughes decided he was the right man. Don't get me wrong, I would be very disappointed if my club spent that much on him but you never know with football and thats why we all love it.
I might have a nosey. If a thread cheeses me off I click something else
No-one was lynching you.
People were pointing out how easy it was to win the League cup,some thought your team was a bit strange as you had changed the entire line up.
Honestly your save is not all that too be fair.
Many many players win the League cup with a Championship team in their 1st season,it is not all that special.
A 7-0 win is a great result regardless of the team so to do it too Chelsea would on paper be a fantastic result,although because of the AI problems in the League cup it is just as good as any other 7-0 win...a great result.
Also the the League cup has been underplayed by SI.
Also now you are challenging other players to beat your Leeds save is coming across very arrogant,trust me I have played the game for 15 years and although I am normally very successful I know I am well down the pecking order when it comes to tactics and success of other players.
I wouldn't worry about it mate. Consider posting in the leeds thread next time to save the hassle. I've never looked in the careers thread and had forgot it was even there to be honest but maybe you could post there if the Leeds thread is quiet. The Leicester one should have a picture of tumbleweed instead of a club badge.
Well I don't fecking believe it, just crashed on me half way through second season and this time for proper!
This is unacceptable, I go a season and a half then boom, lost everything. Thank god I'm getting a new Pc on thursday, hopefully a more powerful computer might stop this happening..
Funny though I had the same problem on 2011 and 2010 but each time the .3 patch always stopped it happening. Can't they just implement it in the 1st patch or something
I can indeed beat that! No one believes it, but it was a hotseat game, and my mate watched the drama unravel too, so at least one other person knows it is true! It was a few versions back now, and I was Arsenal. Semi Final of the Champions League and I was picked apart by Barca at home. I lost 7-0 and my Champions League dreams were over.
2nd Leg, Camp Nou, and fearing the worst when the Barca Keeper (Not Valdes, he was injured already) brings down Henry and and I get a pen, they go down to 10 men after 3 minuites or something. 0-1 (still 7-1 down) The Barca 3rd choice Keeper then gets injured and I go on to win 9-0 at the nou camp to move in to the Champions League final 9-7 on aggregate.
That's a belter of a result mate But extreeeeeeeeeeemly lucky!!
O and when I'm about to play a huge match I always look to see if any of there key players are injured, especialy there goalkeepers. But rarely will you find a team about to play you who has a goalkeeping crisis..
And no it doesn't beat my score , mine was in a cup final with a lower league teame, the difference between my club and chelsea was far bigger than the difference between Arsenal and Baraca (not to mention the fact you had taken over arsenal they would have been probably far better than an AI arsenal)

Impressive, but I still think my FA Cup win with a League Two side beats it
I used to save the game like every 2 weeks icase of a crash, but what if the crash happens a week after saving, or a couple of games after.. For me I just couldn't carry on as everything will then be different to what actuall happened, the butterfly effect if you like. Is there a way to back up your save so if theres a crash it returns you to that exact point?
In a bit of shock reading this thread this morning.....
It's a great result Jed, don't let the majority of FM snobs take the feeling away from you. You came to the right place to share your exploits and the very least you deserve is a 'well done'
Well done
Cheers mate, it's funny how you here all these knocking it but have they ever won a cup final 7-0? I don't think so Nor have they done it with a lower league side in their first season
I think these people knocking it just don't like the fact that someones doing a little better than themselves, that's why they have to belittle it or make exuses for why it isn't quite that . But I didn't make this thread to advertise myself, only to share an incredible result that's all.
Yeh good on you mate. It's a great result, and if you want to clear out the Leeds squad and get all new players that's your decision. People can play the game how they want. Beating a Top 4 side in the CC final with a 2nd tier club is impressive however you look at it, enjoy it and don't let the people knocking you get you down
And yes, I won the league the same season I won the FA Cup - Notts County ran me extremely close though!
Harsh? Don't be so precious, I'm just been realistic.
You still don't get it do you? People are having a go because this thread is just about you having a boast, to claim it is anything else is utter nonsense. The smugness from you in this thread of yours is truly sickening, so it is no wonder people are queing up to have a pop at you.
You had an extremely good result, fair play. But if you can't understand why people initially questioned it, then you are seriously thick.
And yes, some of us are doing better than you actually.
Brutal honesty from Tom, i like!
You can degrade the OP all you like, but the fact of the matter is simple - This lad beat Chelsea, as Leeds, in his first season, in a Cup final, by seven goals to nil. Pleasantly shocked at the result, he came onto the forum to share this with the FM community, because Joe Bloggs on his street isn't going to care - only FM'ers will care. Or apparently not.....
He wasn't looking for people to bow down to him - just to smile at another good-story thread, that's all! The first thing I do when I get something brilliant (or devastating) on FM is tell me girlfriend who's probably pottering about the house somewhere. 9 times out of 10 she'll feign interest and go back to what she was doing - so I'll post my story on here, in the FM community, because people can relate, and listen.
You can't take that away from anyone dude.
Ps. sorry for fighting your battle Jed i know you're more than capable but this sort of nonsense really winds me up

This is going off track so keep to the point , without the personal comments.
Looking at that transfers screenshot I'd suggest that you basically took over every Championship side and then loaned all your players for money, then presumably quit those teams. Getting close to £10 million in loan fees from 12 different Championship clubs doesn't look particularly realistic... You are also going to be in a lot of financial trouble when all those players come back from loan and you've got enough players to field 5 seperate teams.
So if anyone claims to have a better result, you will just say yours is better? I don't think that's for you to decide.
If there was a vote, I'd go for the Arsenal's 9-0 win at the Nou Camp that CRW15 posted.
Your carling cup win was a great result, well done, but I've had plenty of results that I am more proud of, too many to post here. At the end of the day it's your game and you should be pleased, but don't expect everybody to bow down thinking you are an FM God.
I did not do too badly against Liverpool in the Fa Cup with my Non League no hopers....

BELT TESTING EXPERIENCE IN DAYTON OHIOPosted by Dannyboy in yudansha , wrestling , ufc , training , technique , takedowns , take downs , Sukui-nage , sparring , single leg , Seoi-nage , Randori , O-Soto-Gari , muay thai , mma , mauy tai , mat , martial arts , judo , jiu jitsu , ground fighting , grip fighting , firemans carry , double leg , clinch fighting , boxing |
I am going to talk about belt testing and my experience with it! I personally have had 2 belt tests in the Yudansha fighting system, different schools and different martial arts have their own unique style of testing. I am going to go over Yudansha fighting system and my experiences I have had! Since the philosophy of Yudansha comes from three parts of a combative engagement first, the standing phase, next the clinch phase and last the ground phase! Yudansha philosophy is it is better to be good at all three than just be good in one. You have heard the term well rounded in the U.F.C. or MMA matches because they have to be good at all aspects of the game. Yudansha fighting systems first part of the belt test is going over techniques with a uke (or training partner) a good uke is ideal because you do not want the person resisting the techniques a good uke will have good break falls and not resist the throw to ensure good Kata or form. Judo is a big part of the test, here are a couple techniques, Seoi-nage or shoulder throw, O-Soto-Gari or major throw, these are from Gokyo or greenbelt here is one from yonkyo or blue belt Sukui-nage or scoop throw. In the yudansha system there is also wrestling techniques, your single leg and double leg take downs as well as firemans carry and so on. After going over techniques there is the Randori part or live judo. then on to live sparing that has boxing, muay thai , and ground work( jiu-jitsu). This part will test you mentally as well as physically because the test is three 5 min. rounds in each, judo, stand up, and jiu-jitsu with fresh people alternating, I personally train my cardio and get a lot of mat time like I am training for a fight because 45 min. of live sparing is grueling! But also very rewarding when you complete!
Till Next Time!

Li Keqiang on Friday was named China's premier, the No. 2 position in the Chinese government, completing the once-a-decade transition of leadership in the world's most populous nation.
He replaces Wen Jiabao.
Li rose to the position at the nation's annual parliamentary gathering, which a day earlier named Xi Jinping as China's new president. He was the sole candidate.
The vote was largely a rubber stamp that completes the highly choreographed leadership transition which started in November, which saw the traditionally nine-member Politburo Standing Committee shrink to seven.
Four months after taking over as General Secretary of the Communist Party, Xi replaced outgoing leader Hu Jintao Thursday after a formal vote of about 3,000 deputies at the National People's Congress (NPC).
Xi was also named chairman of the state Central Military Commission. "He has had a stronger military relationship than either of his two predecessors -- Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao -- when they began, so Xi comes in with a really strong position and he needs it," Robert Lawrence Kuhn, author of "How China's Leaders Think," told CNN.
"We could go through a whole list of problems from the structure of the economy as well as the social issues: Health care, housing, education and pollution and retirement and food safety," Kuhn added. "All of these things are all bubbling up together -- and with a billion cell phones in China, everybody knows it, so he's on the spot."
Opening the NPC last week, Wen urged delegates to "unite as one and work hard to finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation," according to state-run news agency Xinhua.
Since the congress convened March 5, thousands of Chinese officials have held a series of meetings to discuss the structure of state departments and future targets. The NPC concludes Sunday.
Goals set out for China, now the world's second largest economy, during the NPC included an annual growth rate this year of 7.5%. Efforts would be made to keep consumer price inflation at around 3.5%. And, nine million new jobs would be created with the intention of keeping urban unemployment at no more than 4.6%.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he's unhappy with Sen. John McCain for taking aim at Sen. Rand Paul, a fellow Republican, over the Kentucky senator's nearly-13 hour filibuster this week.
"I'm really disappointed in John McCain, and I'm very saddened by it," Gingrich said Friday on CNN's "The Situation Room." "McCain in his younger years was a great maverick. He took on his party all the time."
While McCain is never a shy critic of the Obama administration, he wasn't too pleased with Paul's own standoff against the president this week. The Kentucky senator blocked a confirmation vote on CIA director nominee John Brennan until the administration answered his question about drone policies. Fourteen Republicans and one Democrat joined Paul on the Senate floor throughout the day.
McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, said Paul's argument wasn't "helpful to the American people." Along with fellow Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, McCain criticized Paul for drawing up paranoia that the Obama administration would consider killing Americans with drones.
McCain defended his argument Friday on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight."
"I always do what I think is right. I think I understand national security, I've been invovled in it in one way or another since I was 17," he said, adding that the are more important priorities to spend 13 hours on, namely the ongoing unrest in Syria and the recent threats from North Korea as examples.
During his filibuster, Paul cited actress Jane Fonda, who notoriously protested against the Vietnam War in the 1970s.
"No one will ever forget Jane Fonda swiveling around in North Vietnamese armored guns, and it was despicable. And it's one thing if you're going to try her for treason, but are you just going to drop a drone hellfire missile on Jane Fonda?" Paul asked during his marathon session.
McCain, who admitted Fonda wasn't his "favorite American," said it was inappropriate to bring up such a hypothetical situation.
"Somehow to allege that the United States of America -- our government -- will drop a drone hellfire missile on Jane Fonda, that that brings the conversation from a serious discussion about U.S. policy to the realm of the ridiculous," the Arizona Republican sniped on the Senate floor.

YMCA name change hoped to expand Plano membership
Kelsey Kruzich / Staff photos -- Russell Creek YMCA, now known as Plano Family YMCA, hopes to cast a wider net over the community with a new name and a full schedule of outreach programs aimed at communities throughout the city.
By Conner Hammett,
Published: Friday, January 4, 2013 4:06 PM CST
For the past 47 years, the YMCA has been a Plano fixture.
The club's origins in the city go back to 1966, when it began operating as an extension of the Richardson YMCA. In 1973, the Y moved into its first permanent location on Glencliff Drive, a facility now known as the city of Plano's Liberty Recreation Center.
In 2000, the facility moved to the Legacy Park neighborhood, and a location in the Russell Creek area opened six years later. The Legacy Park location closed in 2010, leaving Russell Creek as the only YMCA facility in Plano.
Now, the club is looking to boost its profile in the city by renaming its remaining facility the Plano Family YMCA, said Jayson Killough, vice president of operations.
"What we've seen is the broader community hasn't always identified with Russell Creek, and so going to Plano Family YMCA has such a broader reach," he said. "We don't want folks to miss out on the opportunity to participate in the Y or know that the Y is in the community."
To celebrate, the Y held an unveiling ceremony Thursday morning, complete with snacks, bounce houses, family fitness activities and giveaways. About 75 people showed up for the event, Killough said.
The 30,000-square-foot building features a fitness center, two group exercise spaces, a spin cycle room, a family-sized gym, an on-site preschool with the capacity for 63 children and a child watch area for exercising parents.
But it has been the Y's legacy, not its amenities, that have kept the club alive for the past 47 years, Killough said.
"Anywhere I go in the community ... there's always someone that you meet that has a history with the Plano Y, and a lot of those go back to folks that were part of the Guides and Princesses program," he said. "That, at one time, was the largest Guides and Princesses program in the country, and so our reach from that program has been tremendous over that 47 years, and folks are tied to us in that way."
As a part of the facility's re-launching, the Y will ramp up its outreach efforts, starting with a spring initiative to bring soccer programs to under-served communities in Plano.
"I think now we are really beginning to spread our wings and reach out further than we have probably in the last 10 years," Killough said. "We have not been secluded, but we have been very much focused internally around doing things within the four walls of the Y, and the Y's about much more than that. The Y's about getting out in the community and actually taking the services we provide and bringing it to those in that community that might not be able to come to us otherwise."
The club will also go to different apartment complexes in the city to teach children how to swim at no cost. The goal is to teach 500 children to swim this summer, Killough said.
"The Y knows that the risk that's associated with kids being around un-lifeguarded pools during the summer is tremendous, and every year there are kids who drown in apartment complex pools, so we are trying to provide a resource to those apartment communities to again minimize that risk that is there, and to just teach more kids how to swim," he said.
Ralph Stow, a member of the Plano YMCA's board of directors for the past 17 years, said the board has referred to the name change as a "return to our roots."
"This was always planned to be the Plano Family YMCA," he said, "and the name 'Russell Creek' -- while it certainly denotes where we are and the nearby community we serve -- the YMCA as a whole, through its programs and facilities, really services the entire city and area of Plano."
The Y is also initiating a membership push this month, cutting the dollar amount of the joiner fee down to whatever day of the month a resident signs up. For example, if a resident signs up Jan. 6, their joiner fee would be $6. The club is also offering 47 days of free membership to former members.

Reviews for Twelve Years a Slave
An Excerpt from Twelve Years a Slave
"For sheer drama, few accounts of slavery match Solomon Northup's tale of abduction from freedom and forcible enslavement." —Ira Berlin, from the Introduction Perhaps the best written of all the slave narratives, Twelve Years a Slave is a harrowing memoir about one of the darkest periods in American history. It recounts how Solomon Northup, born a free man in New York, was lured to Washington, D.C., in 1841 with the promise of fast money, then drugged and beaten and sold into slavery. He spent the next twelve years of his life in captivity on a Louisiana cotton plantation. After his rescue, Northup published this exceptionally vivid and detailed account of slave life. It became an immediate bestseller and today is recognized for its unusual insight and eloquence as one of the very few portraits of American slavery produced by someone as educated as Solomon Northup, or by someone with the dual perspective of having been both a free man and a slave. "A moving, vital testament to one of slavery's 'many thousands gone' who retained his humanity in the bowels of degradation. It is also a chilling insight into the 'peculiar institution.'" —Saturday Review |

The estimated $10 billion Yanbu' refinery will process 400,000 barrels per day (b/d) of Arabian Heavy crude oil and produce 90,000 b/d of gasoline, 263,000 b/d of ultra-low-sulfur diesel, 6,300 metric tons per day (mtd) of coke, and 1,200 mtd of sulfur. It will use existing Saudi Aramco facilities to receive crude oil and export refined products.
KBR performed front-end engineering design (FEED) for the project. As an extension of its project management contract, KBR also is providing detailed engineering and procurement services for the utilities package and interconnecting systems and pipe racks. Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts awarded to other vendors include:
Saudi Aramco also has awarded Flowserve Corp. a corporate procurement agreement (CPA) to supply pumps, valves, and services for the project. In addition, Air Liquide Arabia and Saudi Aramco have signed a long-term hydrogen supply agreement that calls for Air Liquide to build two global-scale hydrogen production units. The units, which will be built by the Lurgi division of Air Liquide Engineering, will boast a total hydrogen production capacity of 262 million standard cubic feet per day.
Some 70% of the project's total value will be spent within Saudi Arabia, and it will deliver a number of firsts for the kingdom in terms of detailed engineering, human resources, and domestic equipment and material manufacturers, according to Saudi Aramco. The kingdom is trying to spur economic growth by creating career opportunities for young Saudis, encouraging technology transfer into the country, and maximizing local content in the project's goods and services, the company also stated.
The project's projected completion date is 2014.

Sports Update > National Signing Day
On the dotted line: 12 Wakeland athletes sign letters of intent
BY Chris O'Dell,
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 4:15 PM CST
With athletes around the country signing their National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, there was no shortage of Wakeland players making the cut.
The school had 12 athletes ink with their new teams, as the girls soccer program headlined the group with six signees.
"These girls know what it takes to get the job done on the field and they know what it takes to get the job done off the field," said Meagan Wilson, Wakeland head girls soccer coach.
The six seniors tallied a 75-5-12 mark during their four-year careers at Wakeland, with district MVP Maddie Lundberg leading the pack. Lundberg inked with Air Force, while Paige Reid (Louisiana-Monroe), Michaela Moen (Creighton), Kaylin Peery (McNeese State), Laura Minor (Evansville) and Lexie Devore (East Central) chose separate schools.
"The things they have accomplished here is unreal," Wilson said.
The Wolverines also saw three football players choose their new collegiate homes; with receiver Turner Smiley following in his father's footsteps and playing under North Texas head coach Dan McCarney.
"My dad already knew how good of a coach he is," Smiley said.
It was truly a family affair for Smiley, considering McCarney spent 12 years as head coach at Iowa State, where many of Smiley's family members attended.
"I have a ton of people in my family that went [to Iowa State]," Smiley said.
Wakeland receivers Jonathan Weisheit and Dan Harrington also participated in Wednesday's ceremony, with Weisheit signing with Southern Arkansas and Harrington choosing St. John's.
"It was a long process," Weisheit said. "I didn't really decide until Monday."
Weisheit, who weighed the pros and cons between Southern Arkansas and Ouachita Baptist, made his decision partly based on his future team's offensive scheme.
"I like the fact that they run the spread," Weisheit said. "It's a good offense for a wide receiver."
Harrington, a two-sport athlete at Wakeland, will try to continue his careers in both baseball and football at St. John's.
"[Harrington] has definitely made an impact in both sports here at Wakeland," said Marty Secord, Wakeland head football coach. "I'm sure he'll make an impact [at St. John's] in football and baseball as well."
Representing the volleyball program was captain Hannah Hankins, who will attend Grand Canyon University to continue her athletic career.
"There are some kids who get it," said Kim Watson, Wakeland head volleyball coach. "[Hankins] gets it."
Hankins led the team in kills, aces and blocks during her senior campaign and will look to have that same kind of success for a school that will soon be joining the Division I programs.
"We went the way [Hankins] went," Watson said.
Successful cross country and track standouts Madison Zimmerman and Riley Schwietz completed Wakeland's list of Wednesday signees. Zimmerman will travel south on I-35 for a cross country career at Baylor, while Schwietz, the school's record holder in the 100-meter hurdles, will make the journey to Troy.
"Signing Day is the beginning for some and not the end for others," Secord said.

The resort is pretty far from town, which was a plus for us. We happened to eat at the country club on karaoke night and were quite entertained by the "regulars". The golf course was fabulous. Our accommodations were not fancy but had everything we needed. It was a large efficiency with dining table, club chair and kitchenette (no stove). We had a balcony […] overlooking one of the greens.

We stay in Branson all of the time and when I booked this hotel I was definately expecting so much more.

"Great Weekend Getaway"
We spent our anniversary at Stonebridge for the 2nd straight year. We love the place. The trick is making sure you reserve a lodge vs. just a room. The lodges are a bit more expensive but the privacy and amenities are completely worth it. We were there in the winter so no comment on the resort facilities but if you are looking for privacy and some […] sense of seclusion in an area that is crawling with people and gaudy then this is your place. One concern we have is the grounds are bit confusing to maneuver the first few times and the signage is not well lit so you may spend a few moments looking for your space before you finally figure out the route. However, this is what leads to the feeling of remoteness and being away from it all so it's not a huge drawback. The lodges themselves are quite lovely. They are furnished with comfortable furniture, romantic fireplace, nicely appointed full kitchens. Our main complaint is the tvs are outdated and a bit undersized for their spaces. The bedrooms and beds are comfortable and clean. The bathrooms are as well. Nice jacuzzi tubs which we were able to enjoy in a full moon lit room. So romantic! Our other complaint about the unit we rented was the showerhead. Very little water pressure. We really enjoyed our quick getaway there and look forward to returning again soon. The staff at check in is great. They remembered us from last year and I think were extra friendly knowing they now have a repeat customer. Skaityti daugiauTikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai

This was a single room condo, not a hotel room. There were long term guests or owners in adjacent rooms ,with pet feeding bowls and beds outside their doors.

"Weekend Get Away"
Me and my wife went here for a weekend get away. Ill first start with what we didnt like. None of these are a big deal to us, just observations. It didnt ruin or diminish our trip at all. The bathroom was a tad outdated. It took over 20 minutes to fill the tub due to poor water pressure, however the water pressure for the shower was just fine, and to […] be honest the tub was fairly deep. The walls were a little thin, but not terrible. We had quiet neighbors and were on the top floor, so I dont know how it is with people above. The bed itself was pretty comfy, but the pillows were not. I meant to bring one with me but I forgot. I ended up and had to buy one from Walmart because I did not sleep too well the first night due to the pillow. Second night was fine with new pillow. Bring your own pillow if you have the space to bring it. The thing I disliked the most though was after you check in, you have to pick up your parking pass from a sales person who wants to try to get you to listen to a time share thing. Bad form on the hotel for this. This is what detracted me from giving higher marks. As far as likes, the room (King Standard) was very warm and cozy with country decor. Very friendly staff, gated community, beautiful scenery and golf course. I would stay here again and actually plan to next spring. A very nice place and is right by Silver Dollar City and not terribly far from Branson strip. Skaityti daugiauTikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"Quiet Location"
We would stay here again. Arrive while it is light as the grounds are large and room may not be easy to find. Check in is at a Sales Office outside of the community . This is a gated community with mixed housing. We were just traveling through Branson so were happy to stay on the outskirts. Our room overlooked the golf course and had a balcony. You […] are given phone #'s in case you have any issues during the night. This is not your typical "resort". Ate at "Pizza by the Chef" on Thursday night when they have a buffet - thought it was good and a great value. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

"Vacation with peace and tranquility!"
The hotel was in a great location, not to far from town, but far enough away that there was peace and quiet. The grounds were beautiful to look at. To be able to over look the golf course and feel like you were still in your own world was the best experience we have had with any hotel we have stayed in. It was a kitchenette, which was nice. You have […] to supply your own dishes and utensils because of health regulations, but that isn't a big deal. The patio is big enough to put a small BBQ on if you want, other than that, there is a toaster oven, microwave, and refrigerator. If I were to go back to Branson, I would defiantly stay at StoneBridge resort. Skaityti daugiauTikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai

The resort is in a gated community conveniently located near Silver Dollar City and main strip. Fitness center is small, but overall a nice place to stay. Would recommend.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
The grounds were beautiful however the carpets were stained and the furniture was "Ho-hum". It was nice to have the microwave and mini-fridge and additional vanity and wet bar area. A few more "Homey" touches would have made a world of difference.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Nice location, uncomfortable beds, poor service"
The location and quality of the room was good with the exception of the bed, which was extraordinarily hard. I've slept better on a futon or pull out couch. Additionally the early check out time and late check in times are inconvenient. When someone repeatedly rung our doorbell late in the night while we were asleep and was yelling the security guard […] we called was unconcerned and indicated that he was not going to drive by the building after my request.

"Lot to do at resort"
The resort is huge so when you first arrive it takes awhile to find your way around the roads within the resort so it was a little frustrating at first. Once we knew our way around, the place is amazing. There is so much to do just within the resort, it's a really beautiful place to stay. We stayed in the 2 queen bed studio, which is larger than a normal […] hotel room and it had a kitchenette, which was nice. It consisted of a mini fridge, small microwave, a few cuboards and small kitchen sink. It worked out nice and we were able to save a few dollars eating breakfast and supper at the hotel room. We ate lunch out because we were already running around Branson. The room was clean but the carpet had a few stains in it that looked like they wouldn't come out. They used cheap carpet and some of that cheap stuff just doesn't clean up well. The room was clean though. The trail, pools (there are three pools) , tennis, basketball and volleyball courts were all really nice. I'm not a golfer but the golf course looked like fun. My only suggestions are for them to put more signs up and make a better map. Once you know your way around the resort though, it is amazing and I will definitely stay here again.

"Stay was "ok""
The location is lovely. Rooms were fairly clean and well appointed. I would suggest requesting a room that isn't connected to another room. For instance, not a king one bedroom that is part of a two bedroom unit. The walls were paper thin and I could hear the conversation of the couple next door. In addition, the pillows, bed linens and toilet tissue […] were of the cheapest quality. I'd expect a little more at this type of accommodation. Skaityti daugiauTikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"Shedding feral cat at door & non-working dead bolt"
A very skinny feral cat was shedding fur all over the door mat right next to ours. Who knew why such an unhealthy cat would be at our hallway, or be allowed there with a water bowl,and some little bones. Never have seen such an unprofessional entry and of course there was a bashed up/badly scratched door on a unit below ours AND our dead bolt did not […] work as we checked at evening. Also the wall was "kicked in" and badly damaged right next to the cats mat next to our doorway. This all gave us security concerns. I took some pictures to document these conditions. The hotel did get a repairman to fix the deadbolt in 20 minutes the next morning, and did get housekeeping to clean up the mat,remove water bowl and creepy little bones....feral cat was gone for most of next day,but did make a return vist. Hotel says they can not do anything about the feral cats that roam about, and that there is no animal control service to remove such feral cats from property hallways etc. This was a terrible start of our 3 day stay, costing aggravation, some fear for my wife, lost time to report and await repair of dead bolt, and hassle of the whole situation. This place was really a mistake, and I found out that Hotels.com doesn't do anything for you, and just expects you to work out any and all issues with local hotel management---regardless of how slow and unresponsive. Really....FERAL CAT at your doorway. !!! Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
