Minnesota State Fair foods?
Since the Minnesota state fair starts tomorrow, I thought I'd take a poll to find out:
1) What's the one thing you cannot leave the fair without eating?
2) Have you tried any of the "new" foods?
3) Do you have any tips for semi-healthy eating at the fair?
For me, the answers are:
1) Mini donuts, hot from the Tom Thumb stand and all the milk you can drink. Ooh, and cream puffs!
2) Not yet, but I'll report back after I've been there
3) Try the milk, corn on the cob in front of the grandstand, gyros from Dinos or the lamb shop, or grilled shrimp (at Old English Fish and Chips).
1) The footlong corn dog from the vendor cuddled up against the horse barn (side facing the cattle barn). Best. Corn Dog. Ever. The corn batter has a nice grit to it, and a perfect flavor. Smear it with ketchup and mustard and enjoy while checking out all the lovely dairy cattle.
2) Nope, I'm kinda cheap when it comes to my Fair dollars, plus I'm too full from the footlong corndog. I did get burned two years ago trying the Reuben corn dog (saltiest thing in the world, and nothing (nothing!) like a good Reuben), so I will probably steer clear of the latest and greatest. This may change however. Still, the tried and true are what bring us back
3) Yep on the milk and corn on the cob, also the tabouli filled pitas. Too, there's a place up on the more northern side of the fairgounds selling a concoction of smoked salmon, cream cheese and a (lingonberry?) tart fruit sauce on a rye-crisp wafer. Very virtuous feeling after all the other stands. Can't remember the name of the place, but I think it was a log structure (I was there in pouring rain last year and could only think of shielding my treat from the rain and not what my location was).
Enjoy the Fair folks! We live right next door in SAP and love to see all the happy Fair-goers!
re: cayjohan
Cayjohan, re: #3--are you referring to Giggles? I think that place is usually a pretty good bet for "real" food.
EDIT: Also, here are some links to my favorite state fair threads from last year. I find these are helpful from a planning perspective:
State of Organic Food at the Fair:
(Karl Gerstenberger's post about organic foods and some replies about "healthy" fair eating).
This year's fair finds:
(diesel's post asking for our new "finds" last year).
Best breakfast at the fair:
All foods at the fair (more or less
(This is AnneInMpls' post wherein she lists all of the foods from the State Fair's online "food finder" so we could print it out and take it along with us…).
State Fair must haves:
re: The Dairy Queen
1) What's the one thing you cannot leave the fair without eating?
Cay's aforementioned corn dogs - I'm pretty sure I am thinking of the same vendor
Martha's chocochip cookies
creampuff things that are heavenly!
2) Have you tried any of the "new" foods?
Hmmm- I don't think so.
3) Do you have any tips for semi-healthy eating at the fair?
Go early, eat a good breakfast, go with my kids so you can have a bite of what they order .....instead of a whole creampuff - I get 2 bites.
And I'm adding a 4th general question....
4) what food item have you been disappointed with at the fair in recent years?
I had the corn last year and it was horrible. Not even going to bother waiting for it this year.
re: St Paul Susie
I'll answer number one: cheese curds. From that "original" stand that's inside and maybe has mouse it its name? My husband knows it and steers me to it. Claims it's the first cheese-curd place to have set up at the fair. (But what does he know).
Also, crab cakes from that outdoor food court-y area (with real beer this year).
Oh, and something at the freestanding House of LaChoy, just because it's so cute.
2) Will they have deep-fried Coke or Pepsi there? The newest thing this year. But I won't try it because.
4) I tried deep-fried Snickers two years ago and it was horrible. Essentially a batter-covered candy bar. And the batter strongly reminded me of that used at Long John Silvers for fish, where I worked back in the day. Good stuff, but not on a candy bar.
re: jeanmt
while a deep fried snickers may have disappointed some (i had chino's a few weeks ago and it was pretty tasty, with a much finer batter than the one used at the fair) the real king of deep fried confections is definitely the oreos - they undergo a texture transformation in the oil, you could call it the unification of cookie and cream. just watch out for the powdered sugar - it gets everywhere - check out how much of it is all over the ground around the stand if you needed .and more warning.
1) ONE thing? Oy. I'm way into the Gizmo sandwich: seasoned loose ground beef & pork in a hoagie bun, covered with red sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. The stand is on Cooper, between Murphy and Lee. Also have to have mini-donuts (shared), cheese curds (shared), honey ice cream (shared) and corn. (And then I fast for two weeks.)
2) I have too many old favorites to make room for anything new . . . the last new thing I tried was the Fudge Puppy, ages ago: a Belgian waffle wrapped around a stick, dipped in chocolate and slathered with whipped cream. Not bad, but it could never replace mini-donuts as my sugar rush of choice at the Fair.
3) Clearly, no.
re: The Dairy Queen
From Rick Nelson's column today:
On the second page of this article, scroll down to the paragraph heading "New Foods."
re: KTFoley
Thanks! So, it looks like the new items that caught Rick's attention (enough to include in his piece, anyway) are:
Apple fries -- julienned apples, crumb-coated and deep-fried -- at Coaster's (Liggett & Carnes.)
Sloppy Joes on a Stick (Axel's in the Food Building)
Spam Burgers (Spam Burgers, Carousel Park)
The Uffda Brat -- a Norwegian brat wrapped in lefse and speared with a toothpick at Sausage Sister and Me (Food Building)
The BeerGarita, a margarita made with beer (Tejas, the Garden)
Hmmm...I think the only one that's really calling to me is the "sloppy joe on a stick." That's just weird enough that I'll have to investigate it. If it's hot, I may have to try the BeerGarita.
EDIT: and I have to disagree with Rick Nelson re: the key lime pie on a stick (which he declares "fabulous"). I've high hopes in the past, but thought that somehow they didn't hit the right combo of sweet & sour with the lime. I can't remember now whether I thought it was too sweet or too limey, but I just remember I didn't quite think it worked. Also, it tasted chemically to me.
re: The Dairy Queen
I wanted those apple fries and couldn't find them!! Too late now
re: The Dairy Queen
The State Fair Food Finder is pretty cool: http://gopher.mnstatefair.org/foodfin...

Apple Lil's: Coca-Cola cheescake dipped in chocolate on-a-stick and Soda fountain funnel cakes
Axel's: Sloppy joes on-a-stick
Blue Moon Dine In Theater: Peanut butter hot dog
Bridgeman's: Old fashioned ice cream soda
Coasters: Deep fried crumb coated apple fries
Epiphany Diner: Two children's menu offerings
Famous Dave's: Pork knuckle sandwich and Kool Aid pickles
French Meadow Bakery: Rocky road scones on-a-stick (caramel, chocolate, marshmallow)
Fried Fruit: Batter dipped deep fried fruit on-a-stick in a variety of the following combinations: grapes, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, strawberry, pineapple, apple, pineapple, banana, kiwi, peaches, cherries, pears, watermelon fruit blended drinks made fresh on site to include fruit combinations, Dasani bottled water
Green Mill Pizza: Dixie wings on-a-stick
O'Garas: Corned beef and cabbage dipped in batter on-a-stick

Tejas: BLP quesadilla (bacon, lettuce and picodegallo)
Ultimate Confections: S'mores on-a-stick (toasted marshmallows in chocolate topped with graham cracker crumbs)
re: The Dairy Queen
Here's what you need to know about Kool Aid Pickles:
re: The Dairy Queen
Alton Brown tried Koolickles on Feasting on Asphalt this week. He was extremely skeptical but seemed to like them. Maybe if one were sitting in front of me I'd eat it but I don't think I'll seek them out.
1.) Many moons ago I worked as a Dairy Bartender at the Gopher Dairy Bar (attached to the Cattle Building). As such, I am slavishly loyal to their thick and delicious shakes. This booth is staffed by members of the U of M - St Paul's Gopher Dairy Club and serves as their annual fundraiser.
2.) I don't know what's new this year, but I have tried several new things over the past couple of years. Deep Fried Snickers: good, but too rich to eat the entire thing. Share with a friend. Pickle Dog on a Stick: pickle spear schmeared with cream cheese and wrapped in a slice of lunchmeat. Delicious. I think it might get bumped up to Category 1 "Thing you cannot leave the Fair with out eating." Deep Fried Tuna Casserole on a Stick: I admired their inventiveness and it didn't taste half bad. The dipping sauce is cream of mushroom soup.
3.) Coat your stomach with Grain Belt Premium first so the rest of the calories won't be absorbed. ...What? I dare you to find the flaw in that logic.
re: StPauliGirl
StPauliGirl, are you referring to last year's new item " hot dish on a stick"? If so, I don't believe it was tuna casserole but some kind of ground meat (beef pork combo, if I recall correctly) hotdish on stick.
re: The Dairy Queen
That sounds right. What a terrible memory I have!
re: StPauliGirl
1) love those shakes
3) spot on logic!
re: pgokey
Once a decade? I go at least twice every year!
It was fun and creative, but not a solid homerun. It was basically tator tots and meatballs alternating on a stick, then breaded & deep fried and served with a "cream of mushroom soup" sort of a sauce on the side. There might have been some peas in there somewhere, too, although I can't now quite remember.
My main complaint is that the tator tots couldn't hold up to the extreme heat of the deep-fry and basically disintegrated into mush... So, every other bite was a bite of deep fried mush.
re: The Dairy Queen
The fair is just not my scene. The chief reason for me to go is to eat the food, which is never as tasty as I want it to be, and I always want stuff that I don't need to be eating anyway.
I was inspired by this thread to go to Town Talk and get their better-than-the-fair's cheese curds. That's enough fried stuff for me this year.
re: pgokey
I cannot leave the fair without having:
1) Austrian or Australian battered potatos (see, I don't even remember the name). They're med-to thicker cut slices of potato (the long way), deep fried and then drizzled with not so great cheese sauce and ranch sauce. Then you get a flag on a toothpick put on the plate. I know...I know..but it's greasy goodness.
2) A shake or cone from the dairy barn.
3) I discovered some sausage sampler (cant recall - ) right in front of the MPR building. It's REALLY GOOD STUFF. If you get the sampler, you get cajun, andouille and garlic sausage pieces? Hmm....
Haven't tried anything on the "new foods list" - with the prices there, I have to stick to the staples!
Healthy: Yep -I agree- milk stand, the roasted corn, an ice cream cone is reasonable - especially if you share it. Otherwise, it is much too big. Andre's cubed watermelon (though I'm sure it's pricey for fruit), a snocone, West Indies Soul Cafe - maybe it's not extremely healthy but a healthier option as it's chicken (choose your thigh, wing, breast) with a jerk seasoning....not sure how horrible (against everything else there) it could be.

En español | Long before the U.S. government replaced its pyramid-shaped nutrition chart with a round one, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) was using a plate to teach prevention and management of that disease.
Although diabetes today affects roughly 1 in 12 Americans — and more than 1 in 4 Americans age 65 and over — there is good news on that ADA plate, says diabetes educator Sue McLaughlin. By combining ADA's carefully balanced diet with regular exercise and weight control, people who have diabetes can prolong good health, says McLaughlin. "And those who don't have the disease but are at increased risk for its development may delay or prevent its onset."
See also: Connect with others living with Type 2 diabetes in the Online Community.
When the human body processes food, it breaks down sugars and starches into glucose — but to take the glucose from the blood into the cells that use it as fuel, the body needs a hormone called insulin. If insulin is scarce or absent, glucose builds up in the blood and can lead to complications including heart disease and stroke, kidney and nervous system disease, and blindness. In Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease, the body either does not produce enough insulin, does not use it well, or both.
To help their bodies use glucose, people with Type 2 diabetes may use oral medications or insulin injections. "But anyone can, so to speak, 'out-eat' their diabetes medication" by consuming too much food or too many calories, McLaughlin says. So diet is critical to achieving the balance that keeps diabetics healthy, and to preventing progression of the disease for the estimated 79 million Americans with prediabetes (blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes).
"What's good for people at risk for diabetes, or who have diabetes, is generally what's good for all of us," McLaughlin says. "It's eating foods that are nutrient-dense, high in vitamins, minerals and fiber. It's eating those that are lower in fat and overall calories, and monitoring our intake of carbohydrate-containing foods that directly cause the blood sugar to rise. It's balancing 'calories in, calories out' by eating with good health in mind, and getting regular exercise so you maintain a good weight, ideally a body mass index of 25 or less." (Don't know your BMI? Use the Body Mass Index Calculator to calculate it.)
The ADA's "create your plate" campaign uses a 9-inch plate to manage portion size and nutritional balance in five steps:
- Imagine a line down the middle of the plate, cutting it in half. Fill one half of the plate with non-starchy vegetables: salad, green beans, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli.
- Imagine a second line cutting the other half of the plate into two equal parts. Fill one of those parts with starchy foods: noodles, rice, corn, potatoes, beans, whole-grain bread.
- Fill the remaining quarter of the plate with meat or meat substitute: lean beef or pork, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs, low-fat cheese, tofu.
- Add one piece of fruit (or a ½-cup serving of fresh, frozen or canned-in-juice fruit).
- Add an 8-ounce glass of non-fat or low-fat milk (or, if you don't want milk, another small serving of a carbohydrate such as a 6-ounce container of low-fat yogurt or a small roll).
(For breakfast, the plate is divided the same way but filled somewhat differently: starches in half the plate, fruit in one quarter of it and meat/meat substitute in the other quarter.)
Next: When the dietarty and lifestyle changes feel overwhelming.»

Introduction During or immediately following an emergency event, such as a major storm, chemical spill, accident flood, or earthquake, it will be imperative to ascertain the condition (even existence) of bridges, especially those on lifeline routes. The procedures outlined in this guide are intended to facilitate quick initial determination of bridge conditions; make maximum use of available personnel, whether or not they are trained inspectors; aid in accurate bridge condition reporting to incident commanders and the media; minimize duplication and conflicting reports through use of a simple bridge tagging convention; and promote follow-up and priority setting for treatment of identified problems. Tagging System This tagging method uses green, yellow, and red spray paint. If spray paint is not available, then crayons, felt markers on plastic or paper tags, felt markers on survey flagging ribbon, or improvised substitutes are all acceptable. To improve the probability that spray paints are available, the utilities inspectors and survey crews shall use the spray paint on an ongoing basis (avoiding conflicts with utility location marks), and keep a stock of a least 12 cans of each color available. Tagging should be located on the downstream side, near the bridge end closest to the right bank of the stream. If flow direction is difficult to determine (or there is no flow), use a location near either end of the bridge clearly visible from the roadway.
Tags should be painted on a fixed vertical surface located at or near one end of the bridge, clearly visible from the roadway. Examples of good locations include the inside face of a concrete parapet wall or wing wall; and inside face of approach guardrail.
Alternative type tags should be securely attached to a rail, post, or other sturdy object, near the end of the bridge and visible from the roadway.

Since 1999, The Washington Ballet has endeavored to reach underserved areas of the DC community through DanceDC, a celebrated education and outreach initiative that has served tens of thousands of Washington, DC public school students. DanceDC is an interdisciplinary dance program that provides a 7-week in-school residency to both third-graders and second-graders that attend underperforming District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). Over 700 students are served each year; 68 percent of students currently participating in DanceDC are African-American, 22 percent are Hispanic, 7 percent are Caucasian and 1 percent are Asian. More than 70 percent live at or below the poverty level. As a part of the program, students participate in field trips to see high-quality dance performances by The Washington Ballet and other nationally- and internationally-recognized dance companies. The program's goal is to create higher achievement through ballet using Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences model. The class is taught by master dance educators, who have extensive training in the arts and degrees in education. Teachers create lesson plans that integrate dance with core-curriculum subjects such as science, math, language arts and history. The DanceDC syllabus is aligned National Dance Education Organization's standards as well as the District of Columbia Public School standards.
Currently, the schools involved in the DanceDC are:
The goal of The Washington Ballet's DanceDC program is help students:
Through DanceDC, an increasing number of students have been introduced to the arts via integrated classroom instruction, fostering a strong relationship between the arts and cerebral learning.

House Begins Historic Week of Action on Clean Energy Jobs Plan
Sierra Club Launching "The Broken Record" to Catalogue, Respond to Lies, Mistruths, and Distortions by Defenders of Dirty Energy
Washington, D.C. -- The House Energy & Commerce Committee today launched a marathon series of hearings on the clean energy jobs plan, the American Clean Energy & Security Act, currently being drafted by the Committee's Chairman, Representative Henry Waxman, and the Chairman of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee, Representative Ed Markey. The hearings, which began today and continue through Friday, April 25, will feature more than 50 witnesses, including EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Vice President Al Gore, and numerous other leaders from the environmental community, business, organized labor, consumer groups, and faith and social justice organizations. This week's hearing mark the formal start to the legislative process in the House of Representatives and put the committee on track to achieve the Chairman's goal of reporting out a clean energy jobs bill by Memorial Day.
"Chairman Waxman has laid out an aggressive schedule and this ambitious set of hearings underscores both the seriousness of the challenges before us and the seriousness of his intentions to address them," said Carl Pope, Sierra Club Executive Director. "The extraordinary group of people testifying before the Committee demonstrates the breadth and depth of support for immediate action on this plan to create millions of new clean energy jobs and slash our dependence on dirty coal and oil. The American people are clamoring for clean energy and we are pleased that Congress is now ready to deliver."
Details about the hearings and a complete witness list can be found at:
The Broken Record
The Sierra Club is today launching a new project called "The Broken Record" in order to call attention to the campaign of outright lies, distortions, and mistruths that defenders of the dirty energy status quo are using to try and stop Congress from passing a clean energy jobs plan. Sierra Club staff and grassroots activists, working in coordination with the Sierra Student Coalition, will monitor these and other upcoming hearings and report on the goings-on in real time at the Sierra Club's blog, Compass (www.sierraclub.org/compass). The Sierra Student Coalition and its allies will also be providing live updates via Twitter (follow @PowerShift09). Daily previews and a nightly round-up will also be distributed to the media and posted online at www.sierraclub.org/pressroom. The Sierra Club and Sierra Student Coalition will also be mobilizing grassroots activists in the districts of Energy and Commerce Committee members.
"The opponents of this clean energy jobs plan are like a broken record," said Pope. "They have been using the same discredited attacks and scare tactics for years. We think enough is enough and it's time to shine a spotlight on those standing in the way of the clean energy future."
A Clean Energy Jobs Plan Will Help the U.S.
Passing a clean energy jobs plan will shift American energy production toward cleaner, cheaper sources like wind and solar; create millions of new clean energy jobs; reduce our dependence on oil; reduce the carbon pollution that causes global warming, and protect our planet for future generations.
The draft Clean Energy Jobs Plan will create more jobs:
-According to the University of Massachusetts's Political Economy Research Institute, investments in wind and solar power create nearly 3 times as many jobs as the same investment in coal; mass transit and conservation would create nearly 4 times as many jobs as coal. (2)
-A new report by Greenpeace and the European Renewable Energy Council projects that use of off-the-shelf clean energy technology would create 14.5 million more new jobs by 2050 than would be created by meeting our energy needs with continued dependence on fossil fuels. (3)
The draft Clean Energy Jobs Plan will save consumers money:
The draft Clean Energy Jobs Plan will generate more income:
The draft Clean Energy Jobs Plan will reduce global warming pollution:
-The UCS analysis showed that an RES could reduce global warming pollution by 277 million metric tons a year by 2025, the equivalent of the current annual output of 70 average-size coal-fired power plants.
The draft Clean Energy Jobs Plan will make polluters pay:
America Can Meet the Challenge of Fighting Global Warming and Boosting the Economy
We believe in America's ability to innovate and solve big problems. We've proven time and time again we can rise to the occasion and address major environmental challenges without harming the economy: Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, acid rain.
America should be a leader in this new clean energy economy. The cost of failing to address climate change is enormous and rising steadily, but the cost of addressing it is small. We must act now and become the global leaders in clean, renewable energy technologies to drive economic growth reduce global warming pollution.

Reading Between The Lines
The final FIA World Motorsport Council meeting took place this week, and it has produced both calendar changes and amendments to the regulations for 2013.
First of all, the mid-year calendar has been reshuffled. The German Grand Prix, originally scheduled for July 14, has been brought forward a week to July 7. Another race has been added on July 21, although the venue is yet to be confirmed.
The WMC meeting was held in Istanbul: is it fanciful to suppose the 'new' Grand Prix will be staged at Istanbul Park? The circuit hosted F1® races from 2005 to 2011 before encountering financial difficulties and dropping off the calendar in 2012.
The WMC says the July 21 race will be another 'European' event. Strictly speaking, Istanbul Park is in Asia as it lies a fair distance to the east of the great city of Istanbul itself (one of the reasons why it has never been one of the best-attended races), but it has always been deemed 'European' for F1® purposes in the past.
Other possible candidates are France and Austria.
There hasn't been a French GP since 2008 at Magny-Cours, but four-time World Champion Alain Prost was seen lobbying hard in Abu Dhabi this year and has always been a great advocate of a race in his home country. It was France, after all, that staged the first 'Grand Prix' way back in 1906.
Austria's A1-Ring hasn't graced the calendar since 2003 (*remember who won that one?) but has recently been refurbished and has a close connection to World Championship-winning sponsors Red Bull.
The additional race has been brought back to compensate for the postponement of the inaugural event in New Jersey, now expected to take place in 2014.
The re-jigged 2013 calendar once again has 20 Grands Prix as was the case in 2012, which was the longest season in F1® history. Click here to view the 2013 calendar in full.
*Surprise, surprise: the 2003 Austrian GP was won by Michael Schumacher for Ferrari
Rule Tweaks For 2013
As announced to the F1® press by Charlie Whiting in Austin, the FIA has brought in a couple of changes to the regulations for 2013. One affects the cars themselves, the other concerns the use of DRS systems.
Front wings and their flexibility have been a regular talking-point in recent seasons. Remember the Ferraris' front wings not just moving, but visibly flapping, in practice during F1®'s first visit to India last year?
The FIA will introduce new, more stringent tests to the front and back of each side of the front wing, partly to prevent teams from using a rotating wing to help the cars' aerodynamic efficiency.
Until now each race weekend has seen drivers free to use their DRS systems at any point on the race-track during free practice and qualifying.
From 2013 this is no longer allowed: drivers can open the DRS system only in the area(s) at each circuit where it is allowed in the race itself.

Nep - Unlucky to get sacked mate. Good luck with the new Real London.
Have you started a new game or just contiued on from the same one?
Nep - Unlucky to get sacked mate. Good luck with the new Real London.
Have you started a new game or just contiued on from the same one?
Decided to jump on the bandwagon and try again with real players turned off. After half an hour of reloading, lowest reputation team I found was Tiverton, so went with them.
Surprised to find it has 2 parent clubs as well as better youth facilities than most.
Spent the last 2 hrs trying to find and trial unattached players. As Jimbo mentioned before, I noticed a lot less players to choose from this time around. This might be somewhat to do with Tiverton being in a smaller population area though.
Found this kid in my u-18's. There were 5 players there (none in seniors or reserves) but this one looks to have some promise. Hopefully he'll improve unlike most players who start at the club
What a rollercoaster.
1-0 down in the last minute, we grab a deserved equaliser.
Then we go up the other end and grab a winner.
Only to throw it all away and concede another.
nep-might have been asked before but what season where you in when you got sacked?how come the date on the bottom of the screen says 2009?
I was in the first season, but late on, so instead of starting again and holidaying through 10 months, I just holidayed the last 2 months of teh current season and started again with "Hendon" - who were one of the teams I could manage, along with Marine and Whitby Town, who were both promoted into the BSN. I'm very much a BSS man, hence the reason I picked who I did.
I did exactly the same when relegated and sacked by Hitchin.
Not only does it save holidaying through a whole season, but you also have the benefit of an increased likelyhood of strange teams getting promoted and the big thing for me is that I had already spent a full year scouting.
I hate the first season.
I may well have bitten of more than I can chew here
Just ending pre-season, after some extensive work with the club, sorting out staff (I had none.!) and players (I only had that seasons promoted youth.!) - but am still yet to make a single signing with just 7 days until the new season begins
However, thats the least of my worries.
Pre-Season results
Walton Casuals 3 : 2 Real London
Prescott Cables 5 : 0 Real London
Real London 0 : 10 Leyton Orient
Real London 0 : 3 Wembley (GTF)
And I've one last pre season game, v Burgess Hill, although like the rest, the result doesn't matter, since the team I have now I'm 100% certain wont be the team I'll have in 8 weeks time.
Sorry to gloat nep.
Its ok. I even lost to Burgess Hill. These are clubs that have no real players, demolishing me. I fear this season could be very long, and very hard.
My first game of the new season is against Dorchester, who finished 2nd last season in this division. I can only field a team of 9 players that aren't "grey" - and only managed to sign 2 new players in then entire tranfer window. The absolute lack of quality that are interested in signing for me is astounding.
Anyway, here goes.........
*6 minutes later*
Real London 1 - 4 Dorchester.
I'm actually delighted. I expected to get battered here by 6 or 7 goals, but actually took the lead after 9 minutes with a stunning 45 yard strike. The old "he never meant it" caption came up, but I know he really did. Anywho, 2-1 down at half time, and expected an onslaught in the second half, but it just never came. A lot of building to do from here on in, but at least I know that even the decent teams wont spank me this season
Just to lift the gloom a little from Nep's leaking of goals, my DC has just scored a hat-trick, (all from corners), and he wasn't set to challenge the GK.
Anyone got any idea how to post an update with hyperlinks to screenshots in it?

Guiseley 09/10 Season update
Well it proved to be a bit of dull season of midtable obscurity for us in our first season in the Blue Square but that was what i was expecting really and 17th isnt too bad in the end as survival was the original target.
The pleasing thing about the season was that we were always around 15-19th place and never really looked like dropping into the relegation zone. Although we were really inconsitant and had a poor home record we achieved safety with 6 games to go but after that we lost 5 out of the last 6 games which is a bit worrying for next season.
In the FA Cup we made the second round after beating Fleetwood and Dorchester but we wasted a great chance to make the Third round by losing at home to York which was very disappointing.
The FA Trophy didnt last long again this season as we lost in the first round to Kettering.
In the Setanta we got as far as the fifth round before losing to Forest Green but in the previous round we did produce a club record 7-0 win over Alfreton.
Here's my squad.
I wanted to give the majority of last seasons players a chance and quite a lot of them welll mainly the defenders arent that good for this division so there will be a lot of changes as i would like to be challenging for a playoff place next season.

Season 2 Blue Square South - Tiverton Town
In pre-season I strengthened the small squad as we had been relying too much on youth team players, we signed 7 players on frees and 3 on loan from our 2 parent clubs.
Our pre-season friendlys consisted of 3 wins and 4 losses, as I played 7 games to try and get a look at a few triallists.
The season began poorly with us loosing our first two matches before a 3-2 win home against Braintree got us off the mark, which was followed up by 3 successive losses which saw us languishing in the relegation zone. Our topsy-turvy season continued as we scored 3 successive wins, against Welling, Basingstoke and Eastleigh. A 3-2 loss to AFC Wimbledon was the pre-cursor to our FA Cup 2nd qualifying round match away against Blyth. It was a tough match which saw us come away with a 1-1 draw and a replay a couple of days later. The replay was a tough affair and we slipped up to a 3-1 defeat, losing in the same round of the FA Cup for the second season running. Two more losses (One coming in the Setanta Shield) saw us settle into a position just above the relegation zone. We then got into a period of crazy goal filled games. In the next 5 games, two wins, two losses and one draws yielded 17 goals scored and 14 goals succeeded. A 1-1 draw with Bognor Regis preceded a humiliating loss in the FA Trophy 4-1 to Ramsgate. Two more losses to Bromley and Merthyr Tydfil saw us going into the Christmas period not knowing what to expect. No-one amongst the Tiverton support would have expected 3 wins in 4 games, including a 5-1 thumping of Newport County, as we went into the new year as the divisions form team. January brought mixed fortunes as we lost on New Years Day 3-0 and twice more in the month, only managing a solitary win. After losing the last 2 matches of January we were hoping for more of December in February. We didnt get it, losing all 4 matches and the first game in March, taking our losing streak to 7 matches. After that the 4-1 win against Chelmsford was a huge relief, and the following 3 games resulting in 3 wins was almost beyond belief. A 4-1 defeat away at Merthyr Tydfil was the inevitable blip, but 3 games later, and 3 wins later we had won 7 out of the last 8 games to move up to a solid 14th place finish.
League Table
Best Players
Paul Jarvis 2 goals and 11 assists capped a splendid second season as the centre midfielder was voted fans player of the year again
Luke Daley 3 goals and 15 assists from the right wing was a great first season with us
Craig Fletcher 1 goal and 9 assists was a good first season from the left wing
Jamie Mackie My personal player of the season, with 42 goals in 44 appearances
Liam Head 37 goals in 42 games formed the other half of a deadly duo up front
Next Season Aims
1) Do better in the cups
2) Get into the play-offs
3) Better away form
4) Rely less on two strikers
5) Get better players to compete for a place
Also thanks to Nep and canvey!! for helping me with the hyperlinks
Yep, I thought it was right click as that's how it worked in MS Word and I didn't have the full editing thing selected.
Just starting as a practise run for FM2009. Managing Tiverton Town. Sort of localish, and Argyle as a parent club (although we may have to get rid of the link with Exeter!!!). Anyways, no expecting much. Just seeing how it goes for the next game!
Good luck BF.
Scott Doch sets a new record for most goals in a season.
27 goals by January is good by anyone's standards. When you consider that they have been scored in only 8(25) appearances it's simply amazing.
(Note the improvement in his composure, concentration, creativity, off the ball and technique).
We are on a run of 12 wins and 1 draw in our last 13 games, (I am sure we will lose the next one now I have mentioned that). In case anyone thinks that we are hammering teams every week and that everyone is scoring goals and goals and more goals, we only have 1 other player in double figures, (our starting SC has 12). This puts the achievements of young Scott Doch into perspective.
It seems to be really working, playing him from the bench. He stays fit and finds himself up against tiring defenders who have already spent most of the game grafting by the time he comes on. With another 14 games of the season to go I am hopeful of him hitting the 40 goal mark for the season. I will keep him starting on the bench in any case but it looks like next season he could be ready to be unleashed.
We are currently sitting 2nd in the league, (1 point behind Billericay) and I'm desperate to keep the momentum going and avoid the playoffs. Having only 1 automatic promotion spot is a right buggar!

Nice work Jimbo, He's only out for 6 to 14 days, it'll be ok
5 Games into the league campaign. and I'm 0 for 5 and only 2 goals scored.
I'm really struggling.
His replacement, (who had previously played over 11 hours without scoring), was brought on in the 2nd half and helped himself to a hat-trick.
GAH. 0-7 now. I just cant score. Cant win, cant even get close. This is bad. I fear I could be sacked again.
\o/ - I spoke too soon. I was 3-0 down at half time to Thurrock, so came on here to complain. Just scored 3 in 9 minutes to make it 3-3 at full time, and my first point is on the board.!
Great news. I scored 5 goals in 1 game
Bad news. So did they. I lead 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 and 5-4 with seconds left. 5-5 FT.
Ahhhh its ok, I hear you say. Barton Rovers next in the F.A Cup 2nd Qual Rd. Barton Who? Exactly.
....Theres Hitting a new low....
....Theres dire straights .....
....Theres rock bottom ....
Then, theres Real London.
Barton Rovers 3 - 0 Real London.
How on earth am I expected to do anything ever with a pile of carp like this.
I'm exhausting myself trying to make this team work.
That sucks. It sounds like I was just licky to inherit a decent youngster like Doch, and then even more lucky to be able to pick up someone like Chef with his set-piece ability.
I got a GK and a DC in on loan, I signed a decent young MC, and I just fleshed out the rest of the squad around that framework.
If you really think there is no hope then maybe you should considering just jumping before you are pushed, holdidaying to 18th June and going again. It seems like you might be wasting your time with Hendon.
ps. Needless to say that Scott Doch got crocked on his return to the team and will now be out for about 6 weeks.
As a direct result, we fail to score for the first tijme in 19 games.
Although we obviously didn't win, at least we didn't lose.
Our league form stands at 15 wins and 2 draws in our last 17 league games.
With 19 league gams remaining, we have eventually overhauled Billericay at the top of the table, (albeit only on goal difference), and our 12 points clear of 3rd. I'm gonna be soooo gutted if we finish 2nd. Billericay have no injury worries and 3 strikers who have scored more than 20 goals this season.

Scott Doch is back in training but it his appears that his exploits are now attracting some unwanted attention.
This should help keep the Wolves from the door though. £28k over 5 years is only £100 per week by the way.
As his ability has increased, (and as the of JPP my best scout has improved from 18 to 20), so have the reports regarding his potential.
He is now regarded as a potential good Championship player of the future and aready he is classed as a good signing for any League 1 side.
Quite amazed at my good fortune.
Nep. What I did during my first season, (when I thought it was likely that I was going to get the sack), is I employed 3 scouts and gave them each the following instructions.
1. Best JPP scout. Scout Reserve League looking for players below 18 only. Also send him to search England looking only for players U18.
2. 2nd best JPP scout. Scout Reserve League looking for players below 21 only. Also send him to search England looking for players U21.
3. 3rd scout, (weakest a JPP). Send him to scout next opposition and also send him to scout England looking for players of all ages valued at ba maximum of £0.
When you get your reports back, have a look at what you have and anyone who looks even decent, send the same scout to scout him for 2 matches. The 2 matches plus the initial report sgould give you a good indication.
When you get the sack at the end of the season it should give you a pretty good shortlist of players that might be available to sign on a free having been released, or be able to sign on loan.
Cheers Jimbo, I'll set that up now. Fortunately, I'm still quite early in the season and do have a chance to get out of the relegation zone.
Ahhhh. I see you're like me. Play pretty quickly when things are going well but really slow it down and go into detail when things are struggling.
Yea man
If it aint broke, don't fix it, right? Thats me, anyway. But when it goes wrong, I spend ages on each game. Probably too long, actually. Perhaps part of my downfall
A swift change of tactic, and a game against 19th placed Margate. All is going well, and my big star man upfront is controlling the game for us. Its only 0-0, but we're dominating, and the goal would surely come.
Oh no, not for me. They injure the big man on the 39th minute and I have to bring on a poor replacement. The flow of the game changes in favor of Margate, they take a 1-0 lead. They break clear of my defence again, with my DC bringing down thier man on the edge of the area. Red Card. They score from the resulting free kick. 2-0 at HT and I'm a man light after dominating the opening 39 minutes.
They only managed 1 more in the second half to take a 3-0 lead, but I'm fuming that they injured my player.
Edit : Just to make matters worse, The big man up top is out for 1-2 MONTHS.
Not bad for an old bloke with pace and agility of 1 and acceleration and stamina of 2.
Chef is the exception that proves the rule about physical ability dominating the lower leagues.
Scott Doch comes back from injury to grab another record.
Nice work Jimbo. Chef must have excellent Mental Attributes.
Nep. I have failed and failed and failed with a TM tactic with FM08. This is the first time that I have got it to work and it is with a pacey striker and a "run onto ball" instruction and ith a big bloke in the AMC spot.
Chef is called Chef because his real name is Gary Rhodes.
I don't use him as a target man. But as I explained previous, for some reason, my tactic forces my right striker to get a lot of headers. This guy isn't the best (Jump / Head - 12 / 13) - but he smashes a lot of defenders, and is 6'1". I've not used the TM tactic since FM06 where it destroyed teams, and hate playing 1 upfront. I may give it a try, though. Although I do feel my team is getting better. I'm still signing / trialing a lot of players - and hopefully the scouts will come back with some good news.
I just want 1 win to set the ball rolling
Jimbo - You may well have saved my career
I've not won, yet, but my scouts came back with 3 or 4 7* players. In the reports, it said "The player has no interest of joining our club at this time" - but also that "The player may favour a loan move" - which 1 already has. - my best scout thinks he's be a "Good signing for most league 1 sides" and can become a "decent championship player in the future".
Sweet, Sweet victory :*)
2-0 at half time, and away from home. I've got my two new loan signings up front, and I'm being totally outclassed. Second half, and a hat-trick from the new boy, two of which come in the last 6 minutes of the game secure NepentheZ his first win as Real London manager.
Hopefully, this is the start of things to come.
Nice one Nep, a sign that things are improving for you. Let the winning ways continue!
Stannard was the brightest prospect promoted through the youth acadamy at the beginning of the season.
After a seasons worth of goals for the U18's (23 against the Reserves), I gave him his debut in the senior team and he responded with a goal and an assist in a 2-0 win, (and should have got MOM as he only played for 45 minutes).
Looks like I may have a nother decent striker at the club.
Shouldn't be too hard to avoid relegation with a couple of decent strikers.
I would prefer to play 2 up front too but I use a barrow for my AMC while away so really next season I will be looking to maybe become more adventurous at home but probably not away. I also have only really had 2 strikers of any realy quality at the club so it is too hard to play 2 up front with nothing on the bench when that is the case.
They come like busses
So, I've just bagged my first 3 points of the season, and I'm delighted, naturally. Next up, we face top of the table Newport County. I'm dreading it. Sure, we've just won a game, but newport are a very strong side. We take a 1-0 lead after 1 minute, with loan striker Paul Hardy bagging another, but 7 minutes later my new DC goes and gets himself sent off. after 14 minutes, I'm 2-1 down, a man down and playing top of the table. Still not being dominated, I manage to nick one before half time, and go in @ 2-2, with Hardy scoringyet again. I decided not to plug the gap in defence, since the oppo was playing 4-5-1, so was confident the 3 defenders I had could do the job. Cue : madness. 2 more goals from hardy in the 52nd and 57th minute, another hat-trick complete, and a 4-2 lead. The game eventually ran out 4-3 even though we could have score 4 or 5 more with the chances we had.
2 wins on the bounce. I've beaten top of the league, and I have a potent striker. Things are looking up
Where did you get Hardy from?
League 2 outfit Wycombe. Amazingly, he actually featured in their first team in the last 2 seasons, and he's only 18 now. So I've got a young striker with League 2 experience.!
Borehamwood. Conference South. End of season 2011/12 report.
We started ok with an unbeaten run of 5 games before the wheels came off a little and we lost 4 of the next 5 games. Searching desperately for a reason behind the slump, I realised that I had somehow forgotten to get a few of the new players on full-time contracts, (doh!).
After the improvement in training full-time kicked in, we finished the season with a 27 league game undefeated run, (consisting of 3 draws and 24 wins). It wasn't all plain sailing though as we scored many late goals to keep the run going and this was typified by saving a penalty and coming from 3 goals down in the last game of the season.
League Table.
League Graph.
Squad stats.
Key players.
Chef hit double figure goals again, (from set-pieces), and 39 assists show his ability with a dead-ball. What has gone unnoticed fo much of the game so far however is his pretty impressve set of PPM's.
Tom played the whole of last season at MC and also played the first 7 games of this seaon there until I decided to stick him at the back and he played there for the rest of the season.
Walsh was the starting SC for much of the season and he rewarded my faith in him with 24 goals and was shortlisted for the Conference South player of the season. On that note I find it strange that Doch outperformed him, (coming on in the 2nd half of games), but his average rating is nowhere near as good despite him contributing a similar number of goals, assists and MOM awards in a shorter time on the pitch.
Scott Doch. 32 goals from only 8(34) appearances is simply remarkable. Our best scout said that he had the potential to be a good Championship SC mid-way through the season, but after the run in of the season was disrupted by injury, they now think that he only has the potential to be a good League 1 player. Lets hjope I can hang on to him long enough to find out.
Players to watch.
Stannard was the best of the youth players promoted in 2010 and he scored a goal and an assist on his debut and followed it up with another goal in his 2nd game.The scouts say that he is already playing at close to his full potential, but I like the look of him and will be keeping my eye on him.
Hardy was signed on a free at the end of the season after being released by QPR after his loan with Fisher finished and the Super Hoops released him. He is very strong in the air, (albeit a little slow), and he looks like he has Captaincy potential. He's exactly what I look for in a centre-half. Mr Scout thinks that he could become a good League 2 DC.
Brazier was the best of the youth players that have just been promoted. His physical abilities are poor, (like many youth players), but his technical abilities look decent across the board. Worth keeping an eye on although my scout recons that he will only be good enough Conference National.
I have been offered a new 3 year contract.
Finances. 6 players were sold in the value of £192,833 this season. Not bad in Conference South eh.
Seasonal Best XI.
Overall Best XI.
So all in all pretty happy with the season. Can't be bothered even talking about Cups because I really just ignored them as thay suck ass.

Excellent stuff Jimbo. You really walked away with that league right there. A great return from Doch. and Chef is just stupidly good. Honestly, in my 2035 Real London game, He'd make my first team for a prem challenging squad.
I must admit that I have a habit of signing old players who are set-piece specialists and whi I "carry" in other areas of the game just for their abilities at bset-pieces.
Jon Harkness has been a favourite for about as long as Super Kyle and despite me only signing him aged 29 in Gundo's FM07 challenge, he still scored over 100 goals for me.
Set pieces are soooo important. Not just direct free-kicks but aslo corners and indirect free-kicks. I forgot to check at the end of the season but I can tell you I relied heavily upon them. Not just direct from them but also from "seconds".
I found him by scouting for a whole season and then searching the shortlist for set piece specialists. Might be an idea for you to task one of your scouts with this too.
Just finished Pre Season. I can see this is going to be a struggle! Starting with only 5 outfield players (one of which is only 15 ) I needed players fast. Of my initial squad, a couple were alright. My hastily signed Assistant Manager rates Stanford as 5* and Watkins as 4*. However, despite their tender years they are both playing close to full potential.
The free market doesn't appear to hold any obvious gems, and although I've made 5 permanent signings non are above 3*. All blood and snorters to help me survive the first year (I hope!). My 3 loan signings so will hopefully add the quality, especially Mason and Strickland from Argyle on year longs. I'll stagger the use of my 7 remaining short terms to get quality utility players throughout the year.
Pre Season went fairly badly. But my main aim was to get players in. The team showed steady progress and after 3 games of tinkering a basic 4-4-2 formation I seemed to have hit something. The 1-1 draw with my parent club Exeter was an evenly fought game which I feel we could have won if I hadn't rested Mason for the first half.
Or it may have just given me false hope...!
Oh, and thanks for the luck Nep. Gald yours is starting to turn around!
Jimbo - Your scouting tactics may well have inadvertently saved my season. Due to the scout reports telling me I can possibly loan the player, I've loaned 6 players. My record in the first 12 games, pre-loaning was 12 games, 0 wins, 2 draws, 10 defeats. My record in the 11 games since then is 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. I've moved up to 17th in the table and have a genuine shot at a high mid table finish if I keep up this form. I'm destroying all teams in my path, smashing 4 or 5 goals past my opponents on a regular basis, and the team feels real good. I've also managed to sign a couple of great young players. I'm real happy that I didn't throw the towel in with this one, but a long way to go yet.
It's the only way I know how to play Nep.
I just keep sending the scouts out over and over again. They come back with info on a lot of poo, but it is all worthwhile when you get what you want. It takes time and effort to look at each report and change the nickname where appropriate but it's just what I do.
ps. You are gonna come unstuck later in the season though so take the points while you can. You should have 2 guys on long term season loans but you only have a maximum of 7 short term loans for the whole of the season and it sounds like you have used 4 of them already.
Try to keep the rest in Reserve for when you need a boost.
Last edited by Jimbokav1971; 20-09-2008 at 00:47.
Its actually 8 short term loans. I'm not sure what a short term loan is, but I've got 2 for a whole season, 3 for 3 months and 1 for 8 months. So with 4 short terms left, I can actually get them for 6 months. And seeing as I have 2 full terms, and the limit of loans in a squad is 5 players, then I'd say I'm pretty safe.
OK, thats a lie. the 8 month one fell through. - (he accepted, and I just assumed if it were to cancel it, it would do it then, not the next day)
Soooooo yea. I could be in a bit of trouble come the end of the season.
Oh right. I always thought that a short term loan was a max of 3 months.
But if you;ve got 2 season long loans and 1 8 month loan then I don;t know what the score is. I might have to experiment to see what is what.
[Edit] I've just seen your last post so yeah you might struggle after Christmas.
Just make sure you renew the three month ones before the loan deadline, which will take you through to Jan/Feb when you can renew again. Have gotten plenty of 'short-term' loanees for basically a whole season this way.
Get in!
First game of the season, a tricky away game, I only expected to get a point from it as well, so to win, keep a clean sheet and for my keeper to save a penalty is really something.
Not a bad start.
nice work Happy Slappy.! Nice to get a first win early.
Congrats Happy.
Any clean sheet away from home at this stage is worth a pat on the back.
Cheers guys, my main priority is to finish at least mid-table, and, based on the table so far, then we might be on our way.
Unbeaten after 7 games, if I had a ST with a bit more pace then I think that we could be higher.
Just lost our first game of the season 2-0 away to Billericay.
Ah well, still, it's a good start to the season with us being 3rd though.
Unlucky happy slappy.
Do you guys find that your loan signings all get you as the fave club? Lille's loan ended, and I renewed it, but he went back to his club for a period of 1 day. When he returned, I got the message "Lille welcomes dream move" - checked his profile, and Real London are his fave club. All my other loanee's have me as fave club too. Would this enhance my chance of signing them permanently?
Nope, none of my loanees have Merthyr Tydfil as their favourite club yet, but the way we are performing in the league, it is only a matter of time I hope.
AFC Wimbledon - 2008/2009 January update
Thought i'd finally get off my ass and continue my AFC Wimbledon game from 9 months ago
up to the half way point of a so-so season and we're out of every cup bar the Setenta shield which happens to be the only one i've met expectations for so far
And as you can see the team is currently sat in 14th place
The squad looks a little something like this
Thankfully it's not all bad news, atleast i've a someone upfront who knows how to score, i just need to fix my leaky defence or rename the club AFC Everton
Star Player
though with so many players signed, it's probually no surprise 1 doesn't know what the other is doing
oh well, i can only hope the 2nd half of my season is better
Hand up who thought Bishops Strotford was named Bishops Stratford?
Unbelievable, the amount of years I've played this game, and the amount of time I've spent in the lower leagues, that I've only just realized its spelled with the first and second vowels as o's.
Its actually Stortford. not Strotford or Stratford..!!
And how else would you pronounce that?
Yedding. I was corrected by someone who lived in Watford, so maybe you have to be from around there to know how it's pronounced.
I used to play rugby against Bishops Stortford, so I have always known the score about that.
As for Yeading being pronounced Yedding, it's not near Watford at all, (although I am), but I have always known that too.
But get onto Bury & Worcester, and I would not be quite so smug at all.
Worcester is pronounced Wusster
Bury is Berry, obviously?
And Worcester - wusster is brilliant.
Just like Leicester = Lesster.
I have been calling Bury Burry all my life and just refuse to change now even though I have known for about 10 years that I was wrong. It's fekin Burry I tell ya!
As for Wusster, I remember trying to work out who Graeme Hick played for and I came up mwith sometjing like Worchestershire (or similar). lol.
The imagine how all these clubs would be pronounced by us non-english blokes
Apologies. I'm surprised it's that near.
AFC Wimbledon - 2008/2009
Predicted finish: 5th
Final Position: 13
Biggest Attendance: 3039 vs Halifax (Setanta Shield 4th round)
Smallest Attendance: 1860 Vs Bishop's Stortford (Blue Square South)
Biggest Win: 4-0 Vs Weston-super-Mare (Blue Square South)
Biggest Loss: 4-0 Vs Thurrock (Blue Square South)
Seasons Highlight: 3-1 Win against Halifax in the Setanta Shield 4th round after going 1-0 down we scored in the 86th minute and then scored 2 winning goals in extra time. Not bad against a side a divison higher and flying.
Season performance: Well what to say, we started well, then hit a 7 match run of losses, then the season went all wierd after the January update, where we ended up comfortly beating teams in the top 5 then losing to teams struggiling for relegation
League Table
We added 2 new players to the squad, before pulling in a few more players on short term loans. New captain Luke Graham was easily the man of the season for me while Raphael Sylvester was the lead scorer, and only player to reach double figures in goals
As for the Board and Financial side. The good news is i can't see myself getting sacked just yet, but the club has got some very heavy losses to deal with, mainly from players in the team before i arrived on high contracts that i just could not get rid of.
Somehow i don't feel good about next season

Code:| Won | Draw | Lost | GF | GA | GD | Points 17 | 5 | 7 | 70 | 48 |+22 | 56
Blue Square South : Unreal, really. 13 games without a win, and then only 7 more losses in 29 games. I amassed more points in the 29 games than any other club, with exception to Crawley. If I had a better start to the season, I would have no doubt finished in the play-off positions, and as it is, only missed out on them by 8 points. Cant complain with the season, a fantastic result in the league, when I was predicted to finish last, and was 12 points behind 2nd bottom after 13 games. Unreal.
F.A Cup : Lost out early to a team I've never heard of. Barton Rovers destroyed me 3-0.
Setanta Shield : Lost 2-0 to lewes in the first round. This was still in the period when the club was playing exceptionally bad.
F.A Trophy : This cup is the only one that I won a game in, in the domestic cups. I beat non-leaguers Lincoln Town, before turning over Thurrock in the 1st round proper, until I eventually went down 3-2 to Prescott Cables in the 2nd round.

Players of the Season
Paul Hardy : Loaned in for the season, and almost single handed saved the club from relegation. Top scorer for Real London, and finished 4th in the league charts.
Kirk Butler : Another loaned in for the season. Not as prolific as Hardy, but still did a job, and covered well when Hardy was injured.
Darren Withe : Signed after my top scout recommended him, and he ended up playing a vital role in the center of midfield. finished up with 11 assists.
Season Summary
I'm overjoyed. I've got a great basis for a team now, and hope to bring in some fresh new faces after some relentless scouting. More loans will come in to sure up the squad, but I'm very confident a top 6 finish is in the offing.

Borehamwood. Conference National. January 2011/12. Short and sweet update.
After a 5-0 home victory against AFC Wimbledon in mid October 2011, a run of 9 league games without a victory, (3 draws & 6 losses), was ended when some key players came back from injury & suspension, (and we somehow managed to keep 11 players on the pitch for the full 90 minutes), as we stuffed Kidderminster 4-0 to stop our slippery slide down the table, (17th of 24, 8 points clear of relegation). Having 4 players shown red cards in these 9 games didn't help, but we weren't good even without that.
Scott Doch is the top goal-scoer with only 11 goals in 13(15) appearances as we have really struggled this season. I'm still hopeful of avoiding relegation and living to fight another day.
Nep. Nice recovery.
Looking good for next season.
I have had a Dafuges Challenge game going since pre 8.0.2 patch but have not contributed to the forum and my game has got boring after 40 odd seasons so I am going to restart and post my updates.
The game is loading as I post this and I am just about to holiday, have also unticked real players so hopefully with a few people doing this and all starting at same time it is interesting.
Cracking turn around there Nep - fingers crossed that next season will start the same way this one ended and you can use this form to secure promotion.
Either AFC Wimbledon or Margate at the moment, doing a few more reloads see if anything else interesting pops up.
mag man takes over at Margate
mag man re-signs for Margate. After successfully leading Margate to premiership and champions league glory with Margate in FM07 I have been given the task of re-leading Margate to there former glory in FM08.
An extensive period where job applications from potential ass man, coaches, scouts and physios is about to go underway followed by player trials to fill a rather thin squad.

I apply the IvyX to my hands,arms and legs before I walk the neighbor's dog. I'm sure that on his way over to my house, he goes into the woods and gets poison ivy on his coat. Before I found this product, I would get poison ivy several times a year, by petting the neighbor's dogs.

I'm very susceptible to getting poison ivy. So, I just rub this on before I go walking near the woods each morning. If I get exposed (by petting the neighbor's dog, who has been running through the woods), I haven't gotten poison ivy! Before this product, I would get it at least twice a year, in May and July. Let me warn you, it feels a little slimy when you put it on but it dries and that feeling is gone.

Oxea (Oberhausen, Germany) says it has completed a 10% expansion of nameplate carboxylic acid production capacity at its facilities at Oberhausen. The additional capacity will go onstream in the coming weeks, and it is expected to help the company meet increasing global demand for carboxylic acids, Oxea says. The company, meanwhile, is building an additional carboxylic acid plant at Oberhausen, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2013. Oxea will operate five carboxylic acid plants worldwide, once the under-construction facility at Oberhausen...

It takes a lot of practice. Get your aluminum clean. Do a search on welding Al on this site. I have a transformer machine & use pure tungsten. Do a search on which tungsten to use for an inverter machine, & how to ball it.
What Polarity?
What Tungsten?
What Diameter Tungsten?
What Alloy of Aluminum?
What Allow filler metal?
What Diameter filler metal?
What type of shielding gas?
What flow rate of gas?
What method are you using??? Dip or Constant Feed???
Now directly from your post:
What makes you think you have 170hz, North America is 60Hz.
What makes you think balance of 70 is correct? Do you know what it means?
What makes you think that the welding procedure you outlined is anywhere close to what is used in proper GTAW welding?
What made you think you were anywhere close to being ready to self learn how to GTAW anything, let alone Aluminum.????
If you cannot answer all of my questions, you need more education.
Sorry for sounding rude....You really bit off a mouthful with this one. From your questions and comments, you have a slow learning curve and a long road ahead of you.
Good Luck.
My bad. Thanks. I use a really old Syncrowave 250 at work.

tiging aluminum
I answered wolfs questions see if they are alright
It wasn't really a quiz, but now we know where you are starting from, so we can help you out.
You never specified Polarity, but since you are balancing penetration & cleaning, you must be on AC.
Pure Tungsten - have you prepared it with a balled end before welding?
Welding methods:
Dip method: Establish & maintain molten puddle, and travel speed. Filler metal is added in "timed" intervals, dipping the filler metal into the leading edge of the molten puddle. After deposition, filler metal is removed from the puddle, but still kept in the gas shield pocket to prevent contamination.
Continuous Feed Method: Kind of self explanitory. Establish & maintain molten puddle. Filler metal is continously fed into leading edge of molten puddle.
Nozzle inclination is the same with GTAW (Tig) as with GMAW (Mig) in that the nozzle angle should bisect the joint angle. ie a 90 degree fillet weld would have a 45 degree nozzle angle. Nozzle inclination, same thing, inclined slightly in the direction of travel to keep a continous pocket of shielding gas over the molten metal, to prevent contamination while welding AND cooling.
The weld pattern that you are looking for is operator controlled. Without changing nozzle angle or inclination, if you maintain an equal sized molten puddle with each step you take along the weld, you will achieve the pattern you are looking for. Many of the members here use welding positioners, and also "Walk the Cup" while doing fillet welds. I, myself, do not do this as I do not have a GTAW welder at home to play with, and I use a very old "bare bones" welder at work, with a HUGE & Cumbersome back cap. I know how to do it, but have very little experience with it.
Hopefully that helps you out a little.
Best of luck with the job change.
