And we get a home tie against Man City in the 6th Round. Lovely
Busy day at the office yesterday and I had almost no time to play FM when I got home. I'm way behind on this thread and if I missed your update I apologize.
Jaffa: I was just messing with you on the corner glitch thing, hence the J/K
Kazpeer: Good solid start you can build from. I totally understand the team not being good when you want them to concept....
sheeshy: unlucky mate
Welsh Wizard: Glad to see your team has found its form! 2.4m in the red???? o.O I hope you can avoid administration! Perhaps you'll get lucky and the debt will spark a takeover to clear it.
jsar: I absolutely hate that. It annoys the heck out of my when my defenders just sit there and wait for the opposition to go for the ball. It's even worse when my player is running for it at full speed, then for whatever reason decides to slow up until the defender catches up to him. Then he finally kicks it back into gear, but by that point hes beat anyways....
Gypsum: you have a youth academy?? Can I send my Chippenham players to it as well?
deadfncat: Congrats on promotion. Glad to see the 3rd season BSS trend still continues!
Yiddo!: oooh days off are good. We get Thursday and Friday off this week, so I'm hoping a can get a season, or possibly 2 done by the end of the weekend
ALL: Backups are good. I'd recommend everyone setting rolling auto saves to weekly.
<end page 26 comments>
Ridleys: o.O I don't know how you could stand that. I would be flipping out with 4 goals conceded, whether we managed to score 5 or not (more than likely not lol). I'd expect that turned out very well for the fan day though. My board still haven't had a single fan day.... its probably one of the reasons our attendance sucks lol.
Jsar: Congrats on back to back promotions! I'm glad to see you were able to turn that early season form around. It can be quite the challenge to get the guys re-motivated when moral is in the dumps.
dafuge: Apologies for not having made the time to read through your thread yet. I hope your doing well! Should have time in the next few days (Thanksgiving holiday in the US) and I hope to get caught up on your journey.
Finished 8th in the Championship, pretty happy with that! But it makes us sound closer to the playoffs than we actually were. The top 6 were almost in their own division! There were 10 points between 6th and 7th. Still, if we can get more wins, rather than draws next season we'll be right up there.
I have my rolling auto-save on fortnightly, every week is a tad excessive..you're talking 1 or 2 games max
oooer, consortium has just taken the club over and the new chairman sends me the following message;
"New chairman Jamie Thompson has thanked you for your patience during what has undoubtedly been a stressful time for those involved with the club. Thompson informs you that around 90K has been pumped into the club's coffers and a new transfer budget has been calculated. Thompson has added however that it was always the intention to appoint a new manager following the takeover and a decision on your future will be taken shortly."
Well that'd be a **** take to be honest, I'm sitting 10th in L1 after 3 promotions, if I get sacked I'll quit this game
UPDATE: They kept me on, something about high level of support within the club yadda yadda....silly that it would even be considered to be honest.

Gypsum's Chippenham - End of season update - 2016/17
Media prediction: 24th
Final position: 8th / League table / Positions chart
We had a pretty solid season throughout, staying around mid-table for the most part. Usually, you would think we would have had a chance of nipping into the playoffs. But this year there was such a divide between the top 6 clubs and everyone else that there was no chance. By the end of the season the gap between 6th and 7th was 10 points, which is vast for what is typically a close division. Our biggest problem was getting so many draws, if we can convert a few of those to wins next season then I am confident we'll have a shot at the playoff places.
Club information;
General squad overview
Finances - Definitely helped by the new stadium and extra Championship money, our finances are now consistently healthy. Despite a large loan
League average attendance: 10719
Star players;
Cristian Fabbiani - ST - Signed as a free agent in the summer, Fabbiani has been a sensation since arriving at Chippenham stadium. His flair, trickery and penchent for spectacular goals made hima fan favourite within the first half of the season. And while his form dipped towards the end of the campaign, the 33 year-old striker still bagged a total of 24 goals with 12 assists. A magnificent signing for us.
Lee McEwan - AMR - After making the tricky transition from striker to winger last season, McEwan repaid my faith in him with interest in this campaign. The former Arsenal youngster was in stunning form throughout his second season at Chippenham with 18 goals and 11 assists. But most impressive is this lad's engine, he runs forever and rarely misses a game or needs to be rested. A 7.24 rating for a player just shy of 50 games in a season is a remarkable achievement by anyone's standard, and it was recognised by the league as he was named in the Championship best XI.
Lee Brooks - DC - A revelation last season, a sensation in this one. The Chelsea youth product was a pivotal part of our squad yet again with his consistency at centre-back defying his age. Such an important player for us with his Carragher-esque late tackles and threat from set-pieces, he was worth every bit of his 7.11 rating. At this rate, the 19 year-old has a very bright future.
Goals of the season;
1- McEwan v Norwich - A thunderbolt strike from 35 yards finds the top corner.
2- Fabbiani v Leicester - A trademark run at goal from Fabbiani as he takes on two defenders, sends them the wrong way before beautifully lobbing the ball over the keeper.
3- Fabbiani v Derby - Instead of beating the defenders this time, the Argentine curls a shot beautifully around the two centre-backs from 25 yards and finds the back of the net.

Aims for next season;
With our solid financial footing and a decent squad, hopefull i'll be able to push on next season and turn a few of our 20 draws into wins. I don't think we are too far off the playoff places, especially as an attacking side, but we need solidity at the back. A more dynamic ball-winning midfielder would be a big improvement, as well as improved full-backs. These are positions where i've traditionally had problem finding good players in this challenge. I'm also hoping for some youth products to come through our new academy, but you never know...

Well that was close! We started the season very well and were in and around the play offs after about 15 games, we were playing well and scoring goals, then we hit a brick wall, a 10 game winless saw us slide from 8th down to 17th, the rest of the season was spent in a abttle to get clear of the relegation zone, somthing we never quite managed to do, but at leat we never went into it. The main reason we stayed up was due to the goals from Bagshaw and Poole again, with 17 from Bagshaw and 22 from Poole, we let in 85 goals in the league so it is clear where our problem was this season,and where we need to improve next year.
CUPS: Once again nothing to see here, in both cup comps we drew Bromley at home before drawing then being knocked out away from home - I hate cups!
Improve defence, maybe push up and aim for play offs
With regards to corner tactics - that's usually my strongest point. I play FML which is a very good environment for getting the details of your tactics spot on, but no corner tactics in this challenge get me a particularly high number of goals. I'm guess that it's because I'm still in League 2 - such "advanced" tactics don't usually become useful until at least the Championship. So it's probably a good time for you to start with them.
Pllayer roles (e.g. Poacher, Advanced Forward) are just slider presets, and usually they need tweaking.
Wouldn't take me long, but would there be interest in that?
The thread can indeed be a little clumsy to navigate at times.
Well, this should be a walk in the park then! =/
Glad to have made it as far as I have to be honest! Doncaster current sit 4th in League 1...

Haven't had much playing time over the last few days and I've fallen behind with the thread, how are folks doing?
8th is a nice finish for your first season in the Championship, Gypsum
We're trying to find our feet in L2. 11 points from 11 games, sitting 20th in the table. There is promise there though as we beat Barnsley (2-0) and Norwich (3-1) in the League Cup and took Aston Villa into extra time in the 3rd round before they eventually sneaked past us. We just can't seem to put that same sort of performance into our league games. Going to be a long, hard season.
Just won a friendly 8-4. Including two goals from around 40 yards (which it's not letting me upload right now). Ridiculous!
Quavis - Your doing it realistically
When I went off It was March and my debt is showing again. 1mil or so in the red. Stadium size is not really helping us as we have had 16 out of 18 sell-outs so far. Main thing is where is the money going to come from to solve that problem?
Was 2nd 3 points off 1st with 10 games left.
Think I'll start it up now while I watch Cricket.
wriches - Sounds good. I would use it
Im on a thirty match unbeaten streak stretching back to last season. muhahahaha no idea whats going on!
Speaking of the cricket, Go Australia!
My last two games have been utterly ridiculous. At home against Wrexham, 3-0 down at half time, gave the players a kick up the arse and they responded brilliantly and we led 4-3 with ten minutes left. It looked like we were going to hold on for a massive win, but Wrexham scored a 94th minute equaliser. Then off to face Cheltenham. We were 3-0 down even quicker this time, inside 34 minutes. We grabbed one back just before half time and then scored another two in the second half, stealing a 3-3 draw.
Welsh Wizard: The scary part is even I'm not doing it realistically heheh. The players I have are FAR too good for where we are. I do plan on attempting a much more realistic go at this challenge after the last patch. Now that one could have me kicking and screaming until FM 12 comes out
Quavis I did the same. My team played rubbish for 3 seasons then had a massive streak and got promoted. In the offseason I signed no players, dumped my best striker and and a few backups. Now im in November in the BSP with 8-10-0 and running 3rd and into the second round of the FA cup.
Just need to turn that corner and get some form
he was and wasn't. was consistent but also loved to get injured and whinge
so goodbye. Got a cool guy from Belgium in now who seems even better so win/win

Missed out on a few players I wanted with them joining other league 1 sides. Also had to let a few players leave on frees who I did not want to but they wanted more than could offer
Finances are looking really bad and we already had a 2.4mil loan.
Key Players
Aaron McLean - I did use him more of a impact player from the bench early on but proved too good and was in starting XI every time he could be. A great season scoring the most ever in a season for us and became the all time leading scorer
Wellington - Think he settled this season and showed his true talent. Most assists in a season for us. Did want to move to a biger club but seems to be happy now.
Oliver Norwood - Heartbeat of the team and also has a great FK on him

Every season I think "got to strengthen my defence!". And every season I blow my wage budget on attacking players! Oh well, defending is for cowards anyway!
This is that goal I was talking about last night... Nilmar scoring from about 40 yards.
Basically there is a main group table which will show the latest season for each person (whichever season you choose as "Current"), and you can click on the person's name and see a bit more detail and their previous seasons.
Anyone can view the group table or the individual tables, but you have to be logged in as that user to edit/add seasons.
It's pretty basic at the moment so please let me know if something is wrong with it and I'll try to fix it. And please let me know any features that would be easier/cooler/whatever.
I'll probably open it up to public registration when it's a) working better and b) not so ugly, but for now just let me know if you want to use it and I'll PM you a pass.
That looks good, wriches I'd certainly be interested in using it.
We seem to have picked up some better form (touch wood) of late. We've won two and drawn one of our last three league games and we beat League 1 side Southend at Roots Hall in the FA Cup 1st round. Playing Walsall away right now in the 2nd round.

Croydon Athletic - Blue Square Bet South - 2014/15
With odds of 33-1, we were suprisingly expected to be in the race to the top.
Blitzing start to the season led us to a 38 game unbeaten streak leading back to the last season. Stuck behind R&D all season as they blitzed everyone except us with a 1-1 twice.
The faltered towards and the end and I caught up but it wasn't enough. Both on 90 points, they got through on PD.
we drew 0-0 in the away leg against Mansfield and our home crowd packed out KT Stadium to help us bring it home.
2 injuries in the first 10 minutes crippled me but an early goal set the tone. An equaliser from Mansfield from a penalty. Ekangamene took us to 2-1 with a cracker then Mansfield equalised again.
14 minutes into extra time Fleet snuck one in and we went into shutdown mode. FINAL BABY!
Darlington v Croydon Athletic - Final
They were favoured going into the game but I thought I had the edge. It had been 1 a piece during the season so it was going to be good! They had also lost the FA Trophy Final a few weeks before.
The boys were nervous in front of a crowd of 38,816, easily 10x the largest crowd we had played to before. Of defence was carved open a few times but some cracking keeping kept them out.
36 minutes and off a corner Danny Duncan nailed in a header to take it to 1-0. We decided to play it safe and play shutdown football. It got hairy at times but we stuck in for the full 90 and walked away winners!
League Table
League Positions Graph I kept Rushden there to show how dominant they were.
FA Cup - Did really well to get to the 3rd round but drew Fulham :\ drew a capacity crowd to Keith Tuckey Stadium to watch us gallently try but fall to the Premier League giants
FA Trophy - played some young guns as I didnt care about the result. Lost in first round
Squad - Need to cull it a bit and make a few season loans next season
Transfers - Nothing spectacular. Picked up some young guns to develop and sell
Key Player Profiles
Simon Locke - Sold Gilpin and Locke stepped up big time. had a run of 11 games all clean sheets then another run going into the playoffs.
Lee Baker - Suprise package. I thought he was doing ok and kept him in rotation on the wing, then realised he was my top goalscorer and top rated player
Danny Duncan - Great defender and a cool name
Reece Fleet - Still killing it but getting a bit out of his depth now. Will be replaced soon

/goes back to try and save my team from another relegation battle
On a ten match unbeaten run in League 2, but SEVEN of them have been draws! We would be doing seriously well in this division if we could hold onto a lead.
^ I had the same problem, I went 8 games unbeaten, 6 draws and the 2 wins were in the FA CUp and FA Trophy :P
Also, my new signing just scored after 19 seconds on his debut! woo
As a long time loiterer, it's great to read the exploits of you lot. Jordanswinburn in Europe was a treat! I'm going to start a game once I've led Lincoln to world domination. For now, back to the shadows *lurks*
Halfway report.
After struggling through the first ten or so games, we've now gone twelve games unbeaten (seven draws, five wins) which means that not only are we sitting in the top half, but we're only three points outside the play-off places. I don't for the first minute think we'll finish in that top seven this season, but it's a clear illustration that we're going in the right direction. We've managed to shore up our defence somewhat after shipping goals for fun in the early stages of the season, and the cup runs we've had so far have put us nicely in the black with a visit to Elland Road in the third round of the FA Cup still to come.
Looking class wriches.

So all of my Goalkeepers were injured and it didn't give me any greyed out players...
ALL of my outfield players have a goalkeeper rating of 1, so I just picked someone who wasn't going to play.
There was lots of goals.
Hey guys,
Looking for a bit of advice, i am in my first season with Matlock on FM11 and have Ross Hannah and Nathan Joyness up front but i am looking for another striker who will score goals and who has a lot of pace along with a central defender who has pace.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Only the central defender suggested wants to come
Canvey Island End of Season Summary 2014/15 - Fourth Season
Media Prediction: 22nd
Actual Position: 8th
One word for this season 'average' we were always mid-table between 8th and 11th all season. This is not me complaining as I would have definitely have settled for 8th spot if it was offered to me at the beginning of the season. However with the strength of the squad and some of our performances this season we should have really been pushing for a play-off spot.
All the strikers were average with our top goalscorer being Daniel Nardiello with 15 goals which I am hoping he will improve on next season. The defence was impressive all season however we lacked backup players when injuries occurred which seemed to be constantly this season. There were a lot of positives to take from this season and I have a good feeling next season as I have signed some extremely promising youth players.
Aim for Next Season:
Promotion by any means possible
Add more depth to the squad
Attempt a decent cup run to take the finances out of the red and into the black

I survived!!!!!!!!
It was manic, it was crazy. As we were playing Eastleigh I kept checking the scores and wouldn't you know it Staines were only bloody beating them 2-1. It got to 85 minutes and I decided to settle for the points and as I did Staines scored a 3rd. We were staying up. On GOAL DIFFERENCE! Amazing. I've never had a season like it and I'll be honest, I don't want one again for a long time.
Blue Square South:
Final Table and Position graph
As you can see we were hardly out of 19th spot all season and it is ultimately where we finished. A very difficult first season marred by inconsistency and some really rubbish players. I had to keep strengthening throughout the season (as you will see) which probably led to the inconsistent nature of the team. Still we survived and that was the big, big thing.
FA Cup:
A win against Horton's Welling in QR2 was nice, especially after all the stick he'd been giving me, but Grays battered us in QR3 and we went no further.
FA Trophy:
A competition to forget as lower-league Billericay battered us 4-0 in our first match.
The Team:
Lots of deadwood, lots of rubbish and half of it was brought in by me. At the beginning I couldn't sign anyone so just went for whoever. Luckily as we established ourselves in the division more players wanted to come to us and in the end I had a squad with just enough quality to stay up. As far as going forward is concerned the team has a solid backline, but my Keeper is awful. We need a new one of those, new wingers and a striker or two who can actually score.
Best XI
Fans player of the year was Craig Arnott who top scored with 9 goals and was probably our best player.
My player of the year was Barry Quinn. The centre-back was no way first choice but established himself and ended up being the rock that helped keep our Goals Against column low and ultimately helped keep us up.
Oh and here is my profile too.
Moments of the Season:
Best Moment: The 3-0 home win against Maidenhead. A defender playing in goal and down to 10 men after 60 minutes. We were 2-0 up and I expected us to blow it. Instead Deeney scored an outrageous 3rd and we won it easily. And my defender kept a clean sheet.
Worst Moment: The 2-1 defeat to Dartford in November. We were all set for a well earned point when a Dartford striker properly pushed my CB over outside of the box. He was the last man so the striker then sloted home. Livid doesn't even cover it and the ref didn't see it. Pretty much summed up the early part of the season.
Improve the squad nearly everywhere except the back which is fairly strong.
Try and earn some money in order to boost finances (especially important as the board have slashed my wage bill by £1000)
Don't be anywhere near a relegation dog fight come the end of the season.

Tonbridge Angels- Blue Square South- Season 2012/13
With finances even tighter than last season I was unable to make many moves in the transfer market, so it was a rather quiet off season...I tried to get my chairman to get a parent club, which he did but then he "couldn't find any appropriate clubs".... The start of the season started almost as bad as last season and we again struggled to get points against any teams, although we were performing well. Fitness was a key aspect a well a not having a good goalscorer.
I found a few players to tighten my defence but couldn't really find any decent attackers, or none that weren't as good as my current players. So again we just struggled to get anywhere in the season, although I never thought we would get relegated, unlike last season. A good FA Cup run helped finances for a short while but we never played a high profile team. The team was severely lacking in confidence and this was majorly affecting our performances, throwing away 2-0 leads on numerous occasions and missing chance upon chance... It wasn't great to watch.
In February I finally found a striker. Phillip Rogers. He had been released from Arsenal the previous year, was a under 21 republic of ireland player and requested just £80 a week. His stats were obviously not great, but he had high numbers in the physical attributes and good stats for dribbling and finishing. He scored within 20 seconds of his debut and then scored 7 goals in his first 8 games. Our form increased in this time and we moved clear of the relegation zone, for a moment I actually thought we might move further up the table.
But then he suffered from lack of confidence and this also meant we suffered poor form again. A really poor end o the season meant we finished no higher than last season...

Will try to get a parent club again.

Is it possible to be so ****ed off that I actually felt like releasing two players, yet completely delighted at the same time?
Because I just felt something similar...
2-0 down to Stoke in the FA Cup 6th Round after 65 minutes. Steven Reid and Titus Bramble BOTH scoring Own Goals!!!!
67 minutes, Alex Henshall scores to make it 2-1.
In the 3rd minute of injury time, Francisco Javier Lopez Sanchez pops up once again to equalise!
Sheer anger/absolute delight in one game. NOT happy with Steven Reid and Titus Bramble.
MUSTWINREPLAY! If I win, I get Man Utd away! KER-CHING!

Good work wriches, will certainly make it easier to track our progress! Will definitely use it, pass me up baby!
Quavis BSP was easy. I think I had the team setup for awhile just needed to kick it into gear and get the squad gelling together. Now In L2 i picked up 2 great foreign players but they cant speak english. So that went down the toilet
Chippenham Town Pre-Season Review - Blue Square Bet South - 2013/14
Last season ended with a play-off semi-final loss. Its well documented I was unhappy with my current team, and that I went way overboard in offseason transfers. The goal for this season is simple: Gain promotion as Champions.
Transfers In/Out:
In: Most of my transfers in were documented in my last post. However, I did end up making two additional signings that may end up being notable (yes I know, I need to stop signing people )
Matt Darko: The ex-Manchester United prospect was released when his contract expired on june 30th. My scouts rated him leading championship potential, so I had to go after him. I don't expect him to start much this season, but he will feature on the subs bench and see some playing time.
Oliver Bell: Another Ex-united prospect who was released on june 30th. I had scouted Oliver way back in March and my best scout said he was good PREM potential. I was surprised to see him get released and immediately requested an updated report. My scout still believes he is good PREM potential, so signing him wasn't even a question. His stats aren't that great, but he will be starting at DR from the start in hopes I can somehow develop that potential. The only downside to this signing is it means my project will no longer be starting, but considering I was unable to find him a tutor, that might be a good thing.
Out: 4 more players have left the club since the last update. ALL of them were unhappy and I just wanted them gone, regardless of what I got in return. I did put 50% sell on clauses on all of them, so I do hope they do well at their next clubs. Of the players leaving, only Garston featured at all last season and I have cover for the position.
With the player sales over the off-season bringing our finances almost back to the black, I wasn't looking for big money paydays from friendlies. I wanted moral to be very high by the end so that we can start the league calendar off on a good start. Aberdeen was adamant about playing us for some reason though, so I scheduled it early so as not to affect moral.
Game 1 - Chippenham vs Aberdeen - 0 - 2 loss : As mentioned I wanted this game as early as possible so as not to affect moral. However, I couldn't remember when the players got back from holiday. This match ended up being played only the day after they returned, and everyone's fitness was a disaster (60s to start lol). Despite having no fitness at all, we kept the game close. My probable first team played just the first half and we went in level. Even the subs who played second half (I changed out all but the keeper), did very well until late on. It was a good start.
Game 2 - Chippenham vs Southend - 2 -2 Draw: League 1 southend was the other big club to want to play us this year. Again I underestimated fitness levels for this match (I forgot to rest players in between this and Aberdeen). The first team had no legs even from the start and we conceded twice early (should have been 3). From there we managed to hold on to half-time and I could bring on some slightly fresher legs. I again subbed out the entire side at the half. The second team again played very well. Fitness levels evened out near the end of the match and we were able to get back in the game. In stoppage time Gibson let me know he wants his first team spot back and leveled the game. A great result on shaky legs against a good opposition.
Game 3 - Chippenham vs Calne - 2 - 0 Win: With the two big games out of the way it was time to try and rebuild moral. To keep it realistic, I play local club teams during this phase of friendlies. Fitness levels were still poor, but we dominated the match. A couple new signings found the net, and the result was never in doubt.
Game 4 - Chippenham vs Corsham - 5 - 0 Win: Another moral builder, we walked all over Corsham.
Game 5 - Chippenham vs Devizes - 5 - 0 Win: Another big win + clean sheet = happy manager. Steven Hooper proved in this match that he can play the full 90 minutes and knocked Marko Mitrovic to the subs bench.
Game 6 - Chippenham vs Swindon - 1 - 1 Draw: The final big test of the pre-season. Chippenham's parent club is league 1 Swindon. The team played very well, and was further helped when Swindon had a man sent off for a last man foul. With the man advantage I decided to see whether we could play attacking football. We did, and played very well, but an absolutely brilliant game by Swindon's keeper stopped us from taking the win we deserved. If he hadn't been on his game, it could easily have been 3 or 4-1. The draw didn't hurt moral, and that was the most important thing
Game 7 - Chippenham vs Melksham - 4 - 0 Win: The final game to prep for the season and it went well. Steven Hooper earned his second hat trick of the pre-season. If he can keep this up against slightly better opposition, he is going to be a fantastic player for Chippenham long term (champ potential).
Overall, it was a fantastic pre-season. There are only 3 starters from last year still in the first 11, but the new boys seem to be gelling quickly, which is fantastic. Moral going into the opening matches is great, and I'm hoping we can start strong and put together a good run. The squad is deep enough to withstand ANY injury crises (I have WAY too many players lol). I'm going to try and loan out a few people to get them more playing time, but I doubt I will get mamy takers. Either way, I'm hoping with a big squad we can be competitive on multiple fronts. That being said, if fixture congestion becomes a problem, the cups will be sacrificed. Automatic promotion is the goal for the season, and nothing else will get in the way!
Quavis 3 starters left wow. Sounds like my local team I support.
They are running first and touted as the best team ever in the league, So I hope you have the same luck
West Ham are my biggest affiliated club and somehow they are coming 5th in the Premier League! Woo!
I just changed my formation from a 4-1-4-1 to 4-4-2 with 2 attacking wingers. Killing it with the extra firepower!

Player recommendation time.
Alex Henshall
Man City youngster who can play on both wings (with training). Brilliant as both a winger and inside forward. He's currently keeping Nery Castillo out of the team.
And with the end of the season approaching (I'm in March), Andy Carroll has 18 goals, Carlton Cole has 20. Anyone fancy pretend-y bets on who will get the most out of them?

8 minutes into the game against Leeds and there's already been a sending off and two goals.
Leeds' Charles Kazlauskas got sent off 1:25 into the game, followed by a Paul McGowan belter on 6 miinutes. A minute later, Andy Carroll equalised. All action at Gigg Lane today.
Carlton Cole - 21
Andy Carroll - 20
Just beat Wigan 3-0 to go up to 6th in the table. There are some absolute stars brewing in this team. Carroll, Ibrahim, Santiago, Henshall and Lopez Sanchez, to name a few. I HAVE to try and sign Lopez Sanchez at some point, I need him permanently.
this which will not only be a solid state drive but TWO in RAID configuration and should hopefully be blazing fast. Most of the people in the hardware threads here are trying to run 30/40 leagues at a time. Since I only play the dafuge challenge, I can't even imagine how quickly 5 leagues will run!
I paid for 2 day shipping on Thursday before learning that UPS take a long weekend at Thanksgiving time here in the states, so I won't be getting it tomorrow.
Haha windoze 7 installed, firefox installed, graphics/sounds/network installed, FM11 installed/patched, forums loaded
in that order :P
its running damn quick now! maybe its just in my mind but it seems to be heaps faster. Wish I had a bunch of them to run in RAID but im poor and they are exxy well worth it though so far!
just doing little things on the drives etc is super quick!@

WOW Just played Colchester (L1) in round 4 of the FA Cup at home to a packed house. We scored on 35 minutes and dominated the whole game. Then they slotted one in at 90+4 :|
THEN with 2 minutes left in ET, My new striker Rory Patterson gave a big slide tackle on their striker IN THE BOX AND GOT SENT OFF AND A PENALTY. 2-1 Im gutted right now
Ashton United 2015/16 Season Summary
Coming season ending in the year of our Lord 2016. Ashton United fans could look back on a season starting in frustration and ending in rejoice. First choice goalie was out with a long term injury, leaving it to the subs to perform, which they did not do to the best of their abilities. League and FA cup were both a failure before starting, with exits in their very first rounds. A new keeper was introduced to the squad, having served 11 seasons straight for Crystal Palace, 36 year old Speroni was no longer needed and was happy to come see his career out at Ashton. With and older experience in goal we started turning losses and draws to wins and went all the way to rise as champions of L2 and winners of JPT.
The Cups:
League: 1st round exit to Huddersfield 1-2 (CH team)
FA: 1st round exit to Ipswich 2-4 (L1 3rd place)
JPT: 1st round win vs Burton 2-1. 2nd round win vs Crewe 2-1. Qtr final win vs Preston 1-1p. Semi final win vs Bury 2-1. Final North leg1 vs Chesterfield 3-0 away leg2 0-1. Final in front of 27000 we killed Gillingham 5-0.
Alot of players loaned out this season and many sold for free with transfer clauses, only a few players that was signed to first team are worth mentioning for this season, as well as a few who really played good.
GK - Julian Speroni - Was a true star and hero in the back, always good for a beer in after training (he does have gambling issues thu)
DC - Jonathan Lunt - Has been in the squad for 3 seasons, and proved himself this season for starting 11. Doubt he will develop more, but should still be able to cope with L1
DC - Nikos Symeou - Young greek with bundles of potential, have high hopes for this one, his second season at Ashton.
MC - Tyler French - Was a vital part of the midfield this season and has been with Ashton since BSN
MC - Ollie! - Another great season for ollie, clearly a team, fan and coach favourite. Always there with a smile and a dirty joke when you are feeling low.
MR - Ehsan Zahmani - (new signing) Promising winger, previously 4 years at FC Groningen.
SC - Marko Mitrovic - Decent season for him, had hoped for more goals, but also noticed he came late for many trainings and didnt train well this year (personally i blame fifa 2011)
SC - Kyle Watkins - (new signing) Amazing youth, amazing talent, amazing prospect - and doubt i will have him next season, a few PRM clubs wants him
Hope to get an abroad feeder for work permits next season, soo many good prospects from Ukraine and Russia, and none of them are getting work permits atm..

LC rd 2 draw @Barnsley(CH). I HATE CUP DRAWS SO MUCH.
Oh look a striker(Mark Cullen) got hurt 3-4 months in a reserves game for fitness. Awesome.
#1 vs Bristol City.
Chris Garner MISSES a PK in the 25th minute.
Dembele scores for Bristol in the 37th. 0-1

wtf Saric gets an international call up AFTER I dont retain him and hes lacking fitness.
so tempting to take an int'l job.
6th game against Blackburn. TWO disallowed goals after going down 0-2 and 1-3. should be up 4-3.
Might have to go into full boar attacking/overlap/work into box mode since I looked really dangerous with that.
currently 0-3-3.
oh neat it crashed before I saved. fuuuuuuu. Now i'm probably going to lose by more
Renaud Cohade having problems settling(ugh). Given time away.
1st win in game 7. woo. In 16th.
Just went on a super extensive Brazil youngster search(either my 20/20 scout or my other multiple 20 potential scouts) to great success. Looking to grab a few projected LEADING x players for relatively cheap, some after their loans are done ugh.
12-31 important loan dates for William and Ronaldinho(or someone else idk), Paulino.
3rd rd FA CUP draw @QPR(L1)-
Currently in 13th after a few wins over bottom half tabled teams.(Bristol City is the terrible team, and I played them game 1 and got a draw only ) They are 0-1-15 as I type this. wow I suck.
Argentina has a few awesome young prospects, but they tend to carry a higher price tag.
I hate how most players would fail getting a work permit. Couple of projected GOOD strikers can be had for 55k and 180k from an Israeli team.
uh oh a team is bidding on my backup Brazilian projected leading striker target(17 years old). Can't afford the three guys I *want* (two strikers and a DC). They got him.
Signed Andres Lund(ST)- Good proj. EPL Striker-18 years old-Free Transfer-3 years $975/week. Good deal.
damn I play man U and Chelsea with only a one day break.
Table is above. Pretty much doing as expected.
Just lost 5-0 against my beloved Burton in my second game in the BSP.
I had 3 goals disallowed in that game too.

I spent a really long time looking for players, scouting and reviewing my own squad in the pre-season. First 2 games we lost, I was then expecting another season of misery. But then we beat Welling 2-0 away from home and suddenly things are looking good. 4 wins in a row now and sitting in 5th position! Things are coming round.
Dons: We both have Ehsan Zamani. We must be using save thread starters He looks a considerable amount better on yours though
4 games to go in my season. The current Carroll v Cole score is...
Carroll 21 - 21 Cole
It's going down to the wire. The league on the other hand, we're 6th, 14 points off the top, with 4 games to go. The highest we can get is 2nd.

On Sunday, Chicago's third annual Chicago Ideas Week (CIW) officially came to a close. The Fire were excited to be one of two sports teams in town (the other being the Bulls) to participate. CIW has quickly grown to be Chicago's premier event for sharing ideas, inspiring action, and igniting change to positively impact our world and getting invited to participate is a great honor.
More than 30 students came to Toyota Park on Friday afternoon to join in our Youth Lab. Representatives from each area of the Front Office set aside their time to give the group a behind-the-scenes look at the Fire, from getting ready for game day to what it takes to be a good corporate citizen, to what it really takes if you want to work in sports. The evening wrapped with an all-access tour of Toyota Park.
While we're sad to see another Chicago Ideas Week come and go, we were definitely happy to play host this year (even late on a Friday afternoon). Check out https://www.chicagoideas.com/ for more great content from this year's week.
I'm not going to bog you down with a bunch of math, it is Sunday afterall.

We continue our Three Questions series, hitting up TFC beat reporter Kurtis Larson to see what's going on with the Reds ahead of Saturday's match...
Jeff Crandall: For the seventh straight season, Toronto FC once again find themselves without a postseason berth. What is the mood around this club in Ontario and is there more hope that under the leadership of Tim Leiweke TFC will begin to realize its potential on the field?
Kurtis Larson: I think there's a bit of cautious optimism circulating the city. Fans have been through this song and dance before. The difference this time around is that TFC has been granted a budget of $26 million to spend on a pair of Designated Players this off-season. Head Coach Ryan Nelsen and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment CEO Tim Leiweke returned from a European scouting trip this week where they met with agents and clubs.
For once, the team has its salary cap under control after offloading a number of big contracts. During the off-season, you'll see big-money guys like Danny Koevermans and Stefan Frei leave as well. That's a huge turn of events for a team that's always had a ton of guys on cap-killing salaries who have been injured or underperformed.
As a result, fans are optimistic Nelsen has the tools he needs to bring in new talent. And that, combined with the club signing new GM Tim Bezbatchenko, has some fans thinking TFC might turn a corner next year and at least push for a playoff spot.
JC: Stefan Frei hasn't played an MLS match in two years but with Joe Bendik suspended, the Swiss 'keeper finds himself in the ironic spot of making his return between the sticks and quite possibly his last appearance for TFC Saturday. How has he approached this week and what is his form like, i.e. how has he performed in reserve matches?
KL: No one is more respected at this club than Stefan Frei, who was arguably one of the top three 'keepers in the league from 2009-10. Had it not been for a horrible spell of injuries -- a broken leg in 2012 and a broken nose this preseason -- he'd likely still have a job.
That said, that was then, this is now and Frei's form is somewhat of an unknown seeing as TFC has only played a handful of reserve games at home this season.
- TACTICAL: Keep up the high pressure vs. TFC
It's imperative that Chicago tests Frei early in this one and makes him work. I'm not entirely confident he'll be able to shake off the cobwebs as quickly as most think.
Don't forget, Frei and Toronto FC were shelled 6-0 the last time the Swiss-born 'keeper was in goal when the Montreal Impact laid waste to TFC in a Canadian Cup match. That couldn't have been good for his confidence.
JC: No matter what they do in their final two matches, Toronto FC will finish ninth in the Eastern Conference. With their first round draft pick sent to Vancouver in the Eric Hassli trade, Toronto has virtually nothing to play for. Still, is the team still approaching Saturday's game vs. Chicago and the season finale vs. Montreal with something to prove?
KL: I think most of the players will be delighted if they can spoil a few playoff dreams over the next two weeks. Toronto knows Chicago is desperate for three points and will be looking to do what it can to prevent the Fire from walking into the playoffs.
Ironically, if TFC somehow takes all three points at Toyota Park Saturday, they'll be doing rivals the Montreal Impact a great service. As a result, fans are in a catch-22, similar to what we saw during the Panama-U.S. game this week.
The bigger prize for most TFC fans is knocking off Montreal at BMO Field on the final day of the season to hurt the Impact's post-season chances.
Thanks for your time Kurtis!

With two massive road victories under their belt, the Fire play the final regular season game of 2013 at Toyota Park against Toronto FC on Saturday night (LIVE 7pm CT on My50/Time Warner Sports Wisconsin).
With six goals scored in the last two matches, the Men in Red are hitting form at the right time and know if results go their way, they could be guaranteed an MLS Cup Playoff spot by the final whistle. Toronto have nothing to play for but will be looking to play spoiler. Here are some tactical things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Keeping up the high pressure tactic – play a high line and get players into the TFC box
As I mentioned before, the Fire have scored six goals in the last two games. The closest to that tally in a previous two-game MLS span has been four goals. With that in mind, the Men in Red must try and get people into the box whenever possible against Toronto.
In many games this season, Toronto have not been undone by individual brilliance, but rather defensive errors. TFC coach Ryan Nelson, a former defender, must be disgusted by the amount of tap in goals his team has allowed with Sporting KC, Montreal and New York all scoring simple goals against Toronto and all stemming from defenders ball watching and not following their marks.
The Fire need to try and take advantage of this by getting more players from the midfield into the box to support assumed strikers Mike Magee and Juan Luis Anangono. The high pressure tactic can be very beneficial to this, with players like Alex not allowing the defenders to have time and space on the ball. With the team playing a high line and not dropping deep, it will give players an opportunity to get forward and into the box faster.
The Rios conundrum – who to start in the center of midfield?
Arevalo Rios played two grueling matches for Uruguay over the past week, helping La Celeste qualify for the World Cup intercontinental playoff against Jordan.
After playing 180 minutes for his country and only returning to Chicago on Thursday, it might be difficult for him to start in the middle for the Fire on Saturday night.
WATCH: Magee, Berry talk Toronto FC
One reason that the coaching staff might decide to start Rios however is that Jeff Larentowicz is currently sitting on four yellow cards and one more against TFC would rule him out of the season finale at New York next Sunday.
Another option for the Men in Red could be to start Larentowicz and bring on Rios for the former New England man if the Fire are in a comfortable position.
That being said, as we have seen from the past two games, the high pressure tactic is effective regardless of who starts in the middle.
Muzzling Bobby Convey – a danger on both wings
Bobby Convey is one of the few players to have a strong year for TFC and the Fire must not allow him to create chances for target striker Bright Dike. Convey is equally comfortable playing on either wing and it wouldn't surprise me if he started on the right where he would link up with improving right back Mark Bloom.
While Bakary Soumare has found form again in the last few matches after having a few horror moments previously, Gonzalo Segares is a player that will be looking to have a better performance against TFC.
In 1v1 situations, Sega is very difficult to beat but the problems start when players make runs in behind him. The Costa Rican can sometimes be caught too high up the field while other times he is forced to move inside to cover for one of the center backs. Both of these were highlighted in last weekend's match against Dallas.
Against Toronto, I would also like to see the Fire's outside midfielder track back and help out Segares more, especially if Bloom gets forward. A composed and compact performance by the Fire's back four as a unit will give the team a very good chance of coming out of the game with three points and maybe even a guaranteed playoff spot.
Prediction: After having to endure a nervy end to last week's match, the Fire make it easier on fans by winning 2-0 with goals from Alex and Mike Magee.

Cool with us... You'll have to bring your own make-up though... @Jefecrandall has run us dry on eyeliner.
Hey, look at that... For his vaillant performance en route to a win over FC Dallas, the folks over at MLSsoccer.com decided to make Mike Magee the #3 performer of the week!
And since we're on the subject of Mike Magee, we would like to subtly steer you in the direction to support him to be the MLS MVP. Check out the video below!
The Fire won back-to-back away games and scored six goals. They sit in a playoff position and control their own fate with two games remaining. Juan Luis Anangono is heating up. Mike Magee is so hot he's scoring goals by accident. Sean Johnson is playing like, and being recognized as, one of the four or five best American goalies. Jeff Larentowicz is owning midfields. Jalil Anibaba and Austin Berry are two of only three MLS players who've played every single minute so far this season and their defensive relationship is finally solidifying. There's real depth on the outside and through the middle (where captain Logan Pause and summer standout Daniel Paladini are working to get past Alex and Arevalo Rios).
That's the general view right now. The squad is playing up to their potential and the depth is supporting them. The competition for spots is pushing everyone harder, and the depth is allowing Frank Klopas to cover for injuries, international duty (Rios, Lindpere), or to go with the hotter player (Anangono over Chris Rolfe).
In other words, things are shaping up nicely. The general feeling is a good one, momentum is building, the Twitter trolls have returned to their caves, and it's hard to fend off enticing thoughts like, you know those lower-seeded teams that barrel into the playoffs and scare everyone because they're playing with momentum and confidence? What if the Fire can be that team?
All season long, the Fire's major problem was consistency. They were infuriatingly inconsistent from game to game and, indeed, from half to half. Maybe it was a focus thing, maybe it was a changing personnel thing, who knows. But now the Fire are managing games better. They're attacking straight from the beginning. They're pressuring the ball all over the field. They're getting crucial two-goal advantages and defending well enough to hold on to them.
We saw all that last week in D.C., where a super high defensive line pushed the Fire team way up the field to pressure United players into mistakes that led to chances and goals. We saw the same thing in Dallas on Saturday night. Alex, especially, was way up the field in the first half, never letting the Dallas players play the ball comfortable in their own half. (Magee, Anangono, Patrick Nyarko, and Dilly Duka deserve credit too.) How many shots did the Fire have at the top of the Dallas box in the first 30 minutes? It was harassment.
So just like in DC, a high defensive line and concentrated pressure led to a 2-0 first half lead. But just like in DC, we saw where it could be dangerous. We saw the team pay the price of so much early pressure, with Nyarko tweaking a hamstring and the rest of the team almost running out of gas late in the second half. We also saw how pushing too eagerly can be scary:
But I like this high pressure because it fits the moment, with the Fire desperately needing these results to make the playoffs. There are just two games left and the Fire have to prove their potentially newfound consistency beyond the past two away wins. They have to show the urgency and the commitment and the work rate into the next two games, too. Klopas's high risk and high pressure tactic fits.
It's a great moment: After all the work and all the struggle, suddenly the players' quality shines through. Suddenly everybody trusts each other. Goals and points happen. Anibaba scores a stunner. Other teams hit the posts.
I don't know about predicting anything against Toronto and New York. But if we keep seeing the Fire play as they have these past two games, they'll get to play a few more.

Relic "doing some rethinking" about Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 3
Developer Relic is working on Company of Heroes 2, which means there's little time for a full production of the next Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War instalment, but that's okay.
The studio are "doing some rethinking" about how they approach RTS; what's the "best way to present" the strategy genre? There'll definitely be more "RTS 40k stuff," says Danny Bilson.
Robot: RTS can "still be a big genre," PC retail market not there for it any more
Robot Entertainment is made up of former Ensemble veterans with Age of Empires to their name. Patrick Hudson of the studio still believes real-time strategy can be big business.
He admits though it's "changing a lot," and he's not sure where "it's going to go." The days of selling millions of copies at "50 or 60 bucks as a PC game" are gone; PC retail not there.
Bilson: Dawn of War 3 is something you've never seen before
THQ core games boss Danny Bilson has teased the first details of Relic's Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War III instalment, revealing it 'combines I and II'.
Well 1 + 2 does, in fact, equal 3. That's good math. While it's "going back" to the first two on some things it will give us something we "haven't seen before".
THQ gets "multi-year extension" to Warhammer 40k license
Corks are popping over at THQ offices as they've secured an extension to their license for Warhammer 40k from Games Workshop for "all relevant platforms".
THQ's Dawn of War series from Relic Entertainment has sold over 6.5m copies to date. Space Marine is next in line, followed by MMO Dark Millennium Online.
New Relic RTS will be announced in August
Danny Bilson, THQ's Core Games VP, has revealed via Twitter that a new RTS game from Relic Entertainment will be announced in August.
"The big announce for the next Relic RTS should come in August...that's the plan." said Bilson on his Twitter account.

A Prince George's County man was released Thursday from St. Mary's jail on personal recognizance after his arrest on charging papers alleging he was traveling at 100 mph the day before in Mechanicsville, and falsely identified himself as a police officer.
William Anthony Matheny, 38, of Temple Hills displayed a silver badge marked "special police," and identification cards identifying him as a "special police" officer and a security guard, when a state trooper pulled him over last Wednesday afternoon on Route 5, according to charging papers.
Matheny was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence, and while he was being taken to the Maryland State Police barrack in Leonardtown, he repeated that he was a "federal special police" officer, Trooper James Hardesty wrote in a statement of probable cause. The Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department was listed on the back of the two cards that Matheny took out after the traffic stop, court papers state, but the agency told another trooper that Matheny "was not employed as a police officer with them."
Matheny told a court commissioner, court papers state, that he works as a "protective service officer" in Washington, D.C., for Paragon Systems, identified by its website as a security services management business.
A conviction for falsely impersonating a police officer carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison and a $2,000 fine.
In addition to that offense and DUI, Matheny was charged with speeding, reckless driving and driving with a suspended driver's license.

Owning a vehicle is a privilege yet it comes with a lot of responsibility as it entails you to accomplish a lot important paperwork especially when it comes to getting the best protection for you and your vehicle. Insurance is an important part of owning a vehicle and being able to find the best auto insurance quotes that matches what your needs is a great opportunity.
These days as a vehicle owner it is perfect that there are already available insurance quotes online making the experience more convenient for you. Like home insurance Calgary also offers several online auto insurance plans that you can search through so that you get to choose which quotes work well for you.
Ask people you trust. Family and friends who have had Calgary car insurance or Edmonton auto insurance are sure to help you out and give you suggestions as to what auto insurance quotes would work best for you. It is also helpful to get the advice of people you trust when making a decision about your auto insurance because they are well aware of what you are looking for and what you usually look for in terms of insurance services.
Look at your finances. Never under estimate the possible expenses that you will be getting into, so stay clear of insurance policies that are way off your financial charts. It is important to get the insurance quotes that work well with your budget as for sure this will not be the only expense that you will need to pay for on a regular.
Be keen on details. Before getting the auto insurance plan that you have chosen make sure that you read the fine print and all pertinent details that come with it. Most insurance quotes have different details that come with it so always make sure to take note of those details before agreeing a purchase.
Always clear things out. When all else fails get in touch with customer service that are often available 24/7 to answer any of your questions. Again, you should always take your car insurance quotes seriously so get the chance to clear out all the details that you need before sealing the deal and purchasing insurance.

It's been over 30 years since Bob Gaudio — a founding member and the main songwriter of the Four Seasons — retired from the stage to focus on writing and producing. He hasn't felt the need to take the stage since.
"Truth be known, I probably can't play some of (the old songs) anymore," Gaudio — a Nashville resident since the early '90s — says with a laugh. "I haven't done it in so long. It's a distant memory for me."
Meanwhile, performing the music of the Four Seasons is still very much in the present for front man Frankie Valli, who comes to TPAC's Jackson Hall on Sun., Sept. 27 with the current incarnation of the group.
When the two meet in Nashville, Valli says they'll "break bread together, have some fun and some laughs."
Still, fans shouldn't hold their breath for an onstage reunion.
"I'm not a reminiscer," Gaudio says.

A magnificent and comprehensive collection of glass objects is the single greatest strength of the New Orleans Museum of Art's Decorative Arts Department. The glass collection is ranked among the top five in the United States and covers the history of the glassmaker's art from its ancient Egyptian origins through contemporary studio glass. The NOMA glass collection presently numbers more than 12,000 objects.
The Decorative Arts Department of the New Orleans Museum of Art has magnificent examples of silver artistry. Among these are the Elinor Bright Richardson collection of English silver, which features works by the great Paul Storr, the Gross Collection of English silver covering works from the 17th Century through the 19th Century, and the Jolie and Robert Shelton Collection of Martelé American Art Nouveau Silver.
A Portrait Miniature is a small, portable painting designed as a memento of a beloved or admired person. The history of this art form began in 16th Century England and continued to be fashionable both in England and on the Continent throughout the next three centuries. In the mid-19th Century, the 400-year tradition of portrait miniatures fell into decline with the invention of photography. The majority of NOMA's Portrait Miniature collection is from the notable Latter-Schlesinger Collection.
In 1997, the New Orleans Museum of Art received one of the most significant gifts to the Decorative Arts collection in NOMA's history: the H. Lloyd Hawkins, Jr. Collection of nearly 350 works by the renowned Meissen Porcelain Manufactory of Saxony, Germany.
Contemporary audiences may not comprehend the mania for porcelain set off by the development of the formula for true or hard-paste porcelain at Meissen in late 1709. Among royalty and aristocrats, the possession of porcelain immediately became one of the major status symbols of the 18th Century, second only to owning an appropriate palace as a mark of rank and privilege.
Mr. Hawkins' fascination for Meissen figures was certainly akin to that of the 18th Century collectors. He was presented the important Meissen allegorical set of The Four Elements as a gift in 1954. Over the next several decades, Mr. Hawkins acquired nearly 450 figures and groups. He was entranced by the virtuosity of the work and intrigued that the Meissen factory created an entirely new European art form when it introduced its now-celebrated figures.
French ceramics is another strength of NOMA's collection, with a major emphasis on the porcelains of Paris from circa 1770 to circa 1870. The Paris porcelain collection at NOMA is the only one in the United States to survey the entire century-long history of these distinguished wares. Three areas of secondary concentration within the category of French ceramics are the Brooke Hayward Duchin Collection of nineteenth-century Palissy wares, Sévres porcelain of the eighteenth through the early twentieth century, and the Stern Collection of porcelain veilleuses which is focused upon the nineteenth century.
NOMA's furniture collection includes important examples of 18th and 19th century American furniture and a small group of exquisite 18th century French pieces.
Highlights include The Rosemonde E. and Emile Kuntz Rooms, exhibiting choice examples of America's fine and decorative arts heritage in New Orleans. The rooms were first conceived by Felix H. Kuntz [1890-1971]. His brother Emile N. Kuntz was charged with constructing and furnishing the rooms as a memorial to their parents. The rooms were completed by Mr. Kuntz's widow, Karolyn K. Westervelt, and daughter, Rosemonde K. Capomazza de Campolattaro.
The second greatest area of concentration in NOMA's Decorative Arts collection is American art pottery from circa 1880 to 1960, with notable strengths in the areas of Newcomb, Rookwood and Fulper Pottery. The collection numbers about 800 examples representing the production of American art pottery from coast to coast.

For the beginners, I was pleasantly surprised that the item arrived in just a few days after I ordered it; I expected that it would take much longer. Secondly, after I took it out from the box, I immediately noticed the quality. The license plate is made from a good gauge metal, not flimsy, very well chromed, and well protected by the film. The NAVY insignia in the center was beautiful - large, vibrant colors, very well detailed, solidly attached to the plate itself. Overall, I could not find any problems with this item what so ever.

SAVE Weems Stormglass Weather Predictor
Predicts the weather 24 to 48 hours in advance.
The Weems Stormglass is a mysterious weather predictor that is sure to intrigue. Thought to have been invented by an alchemist for Italian sailors, stormglass instruments have been in use since the 1750s. Admiral Fitzroy, the famous sailor and meteorologist, mounted an instrument similar to the stormglass on the mast of HMS Beagle as a storm warning instrument during his historic voyage with Darwin in the 1830s.
The premise of the Weems Stormglass is that changing weather affects the solubility of the mixture of chemicals in the sealed glass tube. Some believe that the changes in crystal structures have to do with the electromagnetic changes caused by weather and sun storms. The Weems Stormglass is a beautiful and unique gift for the home, boat or office.
Sealed glass chamber holds the crystals of the stormglass and is encapsulated in a beautifully crafted brass cylinder. Includes brass mounting accessories--base, self tapping screw, finial and mounting accessory (to enable either wall or counter/table top fixed mounting). Packaged in a handsome velvet-lined black gift box.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
Best driving feel espesially at winding road. Even in a fast quick turn, roaling is minimum. Shock absorver of this car works like a "Cat Foot". But the foot is beyond Jagua XKR of 5,6years ago. Horse Power is Far more big, Engine & Exaust note is more more exciting.
Pros: Goes fast
Cons: hard driveI love this car. It's a bit hard as my daily driver but I love forward to weekend drives.
Pros: Visible engine
Cons: noise
Advice: Great starter FerrariAwesome x 10!
Pros: Nosie
Cons: Price (but its worth it)
Advice: Get oneThis Car is unbalivibale the power of the V8 is awsome this is by far the best ferrari ever made, i test drove the 360 and that is brillant but the F430 is on a whole nother level and thhe road handling is unmatched and the sound of the engine and exhaust is LOUD
Pros: World Class Brakes and Race designed engine
Cons: no cup holders
Advice: Love it like a childMy uncle let me drive his beauty and what a ride it was. For being poor as I am and going from a olds to driving a Ferrari, of course I'm gonna go crazy over it. But without going over my head, I noticed how great the brakes are. Not only will the engine slow you down, but the brakes have so much power that i feel i could be stopped at an instant. Since it is healthy to drive this car in higher rpms (3500-5000) depending on situation, the power is instantly available to you, it is steady in acceleration and doesn't give you a 'rear end on ice' feel like you get with burn out starts with Camaros and Trans Ams. If I had the money, this would be the first and only car in my garage. I'd also buy a Scion too, lol
Pros: The 508 bhp V-12
Cons: Exhaust sound
Advice: This is the best all-around Ferrari ever!It's a Ferrari! The best of performance, engineering, quality, and comfort all packed into this fantastic Grand Tourer. What is possibly better than high-speed cruising and attacking the back roads in this Italian hot-rod. Being a Ferrari, it needs to sound like one. My only problem is the harsh sound from the engine room at full throttle, far from the high-pitched scream of Tubi exhaust on V-8 models. Overall, this is the only GT for the executive on the move with a tight schedule. This is the car to own!
Pros: Truly unique design.
Cons: Haven't found it yet.
Advice: Do it.What can you say against owning such a prestigious machine? True, it's overpriced and can be matched in performance by modifying a Corvette or Viper, but that is as far as the match extends. It's not a Corvette; it's not a Viper, and thank goodness for that. Owning an Enzo is not about economy - it's about standing out from the crowd in a way that few other automobiles will ever match.

When Santiago drowns accidentally in the ocean's strong undertow, he cannot pass peacefully to the other side.

Miguel must choose between sentencing Santiago to eternal torment or doing right by him and, in turn, revealing their relationship to the entire village.

These Guitars Are For The Birds — Literally
Originally published on Wed January 15, 2014 7:44 pm
So that's one question. And here's another that we're sure has been bothering many of you for years. What happens when you give a bird a guitar? Well, you'll get your answer at a new exhibition opening Saturday at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. It's called "From Here to Ear."
Picture this: One room, 70 zebra finches, 14 tuned and amplified guitars, no fingers.
TREVOR SMITH: So how it works is that, you know, the room is completely open. The birds are free to flock and move around as they wish.
CORNISH: That's exhibition curator Trevor Smith.
SMITH: What they do is that they land on these guitars. And as they land on the guitars, as they move on the guitars, as they jump off the guitars, they create sounds.
