Good work so far. Also nice to see Swansea in second Both your clubs doing well!
Good lead at the top, shame you've got to start at such a high negotiation price for Malpass, but I'm sure crushing them in the league and possibly the Carling Cup will put the odds in your favour a bit more.
id bid that money for him and see what swansea do with all that cash
Just bloody typical! They finally relented, and a fee of £70million, (£30million upfront and £40millin over 48 months with a sell on claue included), was agreed for him. A contract was agreed at a reasonable £120,000 p/w, but before it was confirmed he played for Swansea against Tottenham, and guess what? That's right, he got injured. Broken foot, out for 4-5 months!
Thomas Lewis' Career - January 2019 - Manchester City
Premier League
After the crazy amount of league games in December, January was much calmer, with just three fixtures to contend. We started well againt my former club, bossing the game and winning 3-1 comfortably. Norwich gave us a stern test early on, but by half time we managed to get into a 2-0 lead, and in the second half we just saw it out, keeping possession fairly easily. We finished the month with a home game against out of orts Chelsea, and we put them to the sword. We didn't keep the ball that well, but we created the better chances and in the end ran out 3-0 winners to consolodate our ten point lead at the top of the league.
FA Cup - 3rd Round
A fairly routine win for us over the Championship side, though we did have to wait until the second half for the goals to come. However, the result was never in doubt as we dominated the whole game, with a massive 75% of the possession.
In the 4th round we face a trip to Everton.
January 2019 Continued
League Cup - Semi Final
Another League Cup Final for me, as we ran out 5-3 winners on aggregate. We were fantastic in the first leg, winning despite going down to ten men after just thirteen minutes when skipper Vincent Kompany was red carded. However, the team were excellent, and we the 3-1 win outstanding. The second leg was sloppy, as we twice let a lead slip. Not good enough, but we still went through.
In the final we don't face former club Swansea, as Championhip side Aston Villa beat them 2-1 on aggregate!
Transfer Activity
A couple of bits of transfer activity in January, as young Nigerian forward Nduka Agu joined from Hajduk Split for £1.6million, and was then immediately loaned out to Dinamo Zagreb as he needs to assatain a work permit.
Also this month third choice goalkeeper Asier Riesgo left the club, requeting a contract termination, which cost the club £120,000.

Haha Tom. Finally the deal goes through .
Hope not, even for strong player like that its a bit more than I probably would spend.
Thomas Lewis' Career - February 2019 - Manchester City
Premier League
Started the month poorly with defeat at Liverpool, a game in which we were awful. However, we bounced back we three wins from three, keeping cleansheets in all three games. We were brilliantly against Wolves, dominating with a mamouth 75% of the possession! The Southampton game was as comfortable as can be, and then came Spurs away. We were resillient here, battling away at keeping Spurs out. On the stroke of halftime Nestor Schmidt got into the box and put us ahead, and despite good pressure from Spurs in the second period, we held on and kept our ten point lead, (could be seven if United win their game in hand it willbe seven though), in tact.
FA Cup 4th And 5th Rounds
Great credit to Everton in the tie at Goodison, we were fortunate to escape with a draw. In the replay though we put them to the sword, securing a simple 3-0 win. In the fifth round we were awful, and Bristol City were lucky not to get a draw or maybe even better. Still, we got the win, and in the quarer finals we face Fulham at the Etihad.
Thomas Lewis' Career - 2018/19 - Manchester City
League Cup Final
How We Got To The Final
A fairly tough run to the final really. Middlesbrough and Watford were both tricky to overcoma, and we may have faced Liverpool and United at home, but they were both difficult games. In the semi final Bolton, in the second leg, gave a very good performance aswell.
The Final
vs.Aston Villa
Another Leagu Cup win for me, and the clubs first since 1976. We didn't start very well, and fairly deservedly Villa went ahead. That seemed to give the players a bit of a kick up the bum as we totally took control after that. Cavani was outstanding, and was fittingly given the man of the match award.
Hopefully this trophy is the first of many.
Impressive way to cap it off. The league's probably heading your way as well.
Yet another League Cup. Well done.
How long are you planning to stay at city?
Bascially I'm rambling on and I don't know. :confused:
Well done with Man City so far! Real shame about the Malpass transfer though, hopefully you can snag him at even cheaper when he is fit again.
Thomas Lewis' Career - March 2019 - Manchester City
Premier League
Very weird month; awful at home, brilliant away. We absolutely battered Birmingham, having 63% of the possession, and 23 attempts to six. Yet they took their chance, and we didn't. I was annoyed, but they were superb defensively. We bounced back though with a great win at Watford, before another frustrating home game against Newcastle. Again we bossed it, but never killed the game off, and they equalised in the last minute - a former player of mine, John Fleck, scored it! We finished the month with a good win at Hull, and still have a healthy lead at the top of the table.
FA Cup - Quarter Final
Odd game, swinging one way and the other. However, Cavani's excellent form continued as he banged in a hattrick so we weren't embarrassed, and we eventually saw them off to get through to the semi finals, where we face Blackburn.
Nice on finally getting Malpass! That's got to be up there with the highest transfer payments ever
If you dont win the league I will be left very disappointed in you as a Manager.
Title is within reach and you've won your speciality of the league cup.Well played Sir
There are two things wrong with what happened to Malpass.
1) In real life, Swansea would never have played him knowing he's about to agree a big money move away.
2) Failed his medical?! He's broken his foot! Why bother with a medical? I could imagine the club doctor: "Good weight, reflexes seem sharp, strong leg muscles, heart scan all okay. Wait... that's... that's a limp! Better get that checked out."
Ten pages now and going strong. That's what I like to see, even if it is with Man City.
Thomas Lewis' Career - April 2019 - Manchester City
Premier League
A very good month for us has put us on the brink of the title, needing just one point from our final three games.
We started off the month excellently with two cracking home wins with the South Americans getting amongst the goals. Away at Fulham we had it a bit tougher, and it took us until the 57th minute to get the break through. Just ten minutes later though Pavel Mamaev was red carded, and Fulham had a good spell which we defended well. In the 86th minute we wraped it up though, giving us a good 2-0 away win. We then had the Manchester derby to contest, and the draw was a fair result. We took the lead late on, but they equalised even later, and 1-1 is how it ended. A draw away against one of the other top four can never be frowned upon, especially when it extends your lead at the top to nine points!
FA Cup - Semi Final
It may not look great as we only went through on penalties, but we totally dominated them. Our finishing wan't up to scratch though, and that was the only reason that prevented us from hammering them. Still, we got through penalties, and that's the main thing.
In the final we face another Championship side, this time West Ham.
Last edited by tomtuck01; 01-05-2012 at 17:07.
What happened to Terry Connor in your save? In mine, he guided Wolves to 9th, then replaced Moyes at Everton (Moyes was sacked for finishing 14th and then replaced Connor at Wolves.) After finishing 8th with Everton, Connor got the England job!
And people were worried about Hodgson...
Another great season tumtuck
Thomas Lewis' Career - 2018/19 - Manchester City
FA Cup Final
How We Got To The Final
Some decent reults along the way, including the fourth round replay against Everton, and the quarter final victory at Fulham. Edinson Cavani was influential along the way, scoring five goals.
The Final
vs.West Ham United
If the scoreline doesn't suggest it, the poession stat certainly does - we totally controlled this game. After we scored after jut fourteen minutes, there was only one winner. They may have mutered ten attempts, but mot of those were from long range, and they only forced Joe Hart into a save once. The third of a dometic treble - superb.
Congrats on the Treble!
Thomas Lewis' Career - May 2019 - Manchester City
Premier League
A very good final month, with three wins from three. With the title already wrapped up thanks to Arsenal's defeat to Liverpool, the West Brom game was party time for the supporters and we didn't disappoint. We followed that up with a see-saw fixture at Arsenal. We lead twice but they pegged us back, but in the 89th minute Vincent Kompany won it! The season finished at home to QPR, and we seemed to be already on our holidays, though we still took the points.
FA Cup - Final
We should have won by more, but it was as comfortable as can be. Excellent dominating performance, that rounded off the domestic treble.
Excellent debut season from the Brazilian.
He may be thirty now, but he's still producing top quality performances.
The third time I have a had a player take this award. The previous two were won by Michel Vorm during my time at Swansea.
A good showing in the PFA Team Of The Year. If you are wondering why Neymar and Cavani are in wide midfield positions, it is because they play AML/AMR positions for me.

Excellent season although I wasn't expecting to see Swansea in 2nd
Thomas Lewis' Career - Season Review 2018/19 - Manchester City
Premier League
Results 1 - Results 2 - Final Table (1st, Champions)
Last season the club finished sixth in the table, a whopping 37 points worse off than what we achieved this term. After our transfer activity in the summer I thought we could challenge for the title, but this was simply sensational. Most of it was down to our outstanding start - we won fourteen of our opening fifteen games - and from then on we never looked back. The second half of the season was a bit tougher, but we won eight of our last nine games to finish the season in style. This was the clubs first league title since 1968.
FA Cup
The clubs seventh FA Cup overall, and the first since 2014. We faced a few sides from the Championship along the way, most notably in the semi-final and final, but it doesn't belittle our achievement in any way. In the final we gave a domineering performance, defeating West Ham of the Championship 2-0.
League Cup
For the first time since 1976 the League Cup was lifted by the Citizens. For me it was a fifth League Cup victory in six years. To win it by knocking out three Lancashire rivals made it even sweeter. We were brilliant in the final, winning 5-1 against Championship side Aston Villa.
Other Info
Squad - Transfers - Finances
The squad performed exceptionally throughout the season. The big money signings Neymar, Lucas Moura, and Nestor Schmidt all justified their massive fee's, and another big player was Edinon Cavani, who at the age of 32 was still doing the business game in, game out.
Alot of transfer activity took place as I reshaped the squad massively. From now on I will be alot more prudent. Besides Jason Malpass coming in this summer, I don't anticipate many other signings, especially for fee's over the £20million mark.
Because of the the transfer outlay and huge wage budget the finances have taken a bit of a battering since I joined the club. Add to the fact that we weren't in European competition of any sort we missed out on a major source of income. Had it not been for three hefty cash injections from the chairman we would have been in considerable debt. Over the summer I'll be looking to offload a couple of players, and hopefully reduce the wage bill below the £100million per year mark.
Top 3 Players
Sergio Aguero
He's a pain sometimes with having the "Shoots From Long Range" PPM, but he did have a productive season. His goal tally of nineteen was solid, but his assists tally of twenty-two was excellent - he was actually the top assister in the Premier League this term. Considering his age though, next season may be his last with us.
He cost a club record £47million, but he was worth it. In all competitions for us he was superb, but he excelled in the league, playing all but one game, finishing as the joint second top scorer, and the third highest assister. I can't wait for him to be unleashed in the Champions League next season.
Kyle Walker
Some may see this as a surprise, and probably thought one of my other attacking players would be my final pick in this list, but Walker was excellent. His consistency throughout the whole season was brilliant, and deserves to be recognised.
What Next
Look towards next season. Aswell as attempting to defend our domestic trophies, we also get to pit our wits against Europes best in the Champions League. As I said a couple of high earners will go, but we have some very good looking young prospects who look like they are ready for the step up to the first team.
Next season is going to be interesting.
Fernando Torres mk II.
Excellent season Tombo...and Malpass .
Thomas Lewis' Career - Season Preview - 2019/20 - Manchester City
Board Expectations
Premier Legaue: Win it
FA Cup: Win it
League Cup: Not important
Champions League: Reach the semi-final stage
Community Shield: Not important
Personal Expectations
Premier League: Would love to retain it
FA Cup: As with last season, I would be happy to get to the semi's
League Cup: A sixth triumph for me personally would be great
Champions League: I'd take a place in the quarter finals, and from there who knows
Community Shield: It's againt my old club, we have win
Transfer: £94,081,734
Wages: £3,980,312 (Currently spending £2,088,149)
Balance: £20,447,776 (Down £51,974,173 from last season)
So after last seasons success the board is expecting alot this term, but I'm confident we can achieve our goals. The finances have taken a bit of a battering since I took over due to the reshaping of the squad and purchase of the stadium, but this term I expect them to do better due to our involvment in the Champions League.
Also I hope to bring the wage expenditure down before the end of the transfer window, as there are a few high earners who I am looking to offload.
Good luck with the new season fella.
Ive had similar news regarding selling Fuska on my Liverpool save.
Thats common sense though. Fans dont see it that way .
I sold Fuska who had just turned 29, was entering the last year of his contract and wanted to sign a new deal worth £150k p/w. No thanks fella. On you go!! Sold for £11.5m.
Cavani was the same, as in he was also in that lats year of his contract. I would have kept him had he just lowered his wages slightly, say to £200,000 p/w. That would have saved me over £1.5million over the course of a year.
Silly Uruguayan.
Lukaku in the first 11 of the premier league.
How was his season? And do you have a ss from him by any chance?
Lukaku Attributes And Stats 2018/19
He's also Chelsea captain now, though my very own Vincent Kompany is preventing him from being Belgium skipper.

Good season, will this be your last if you win the Champions League? Come on move abroad please next?
Thomas Lewis' Career - Preseason - 2019/20 - Manchester City
(Two youth players given free transfers are cut off the top of the "Players Out" list, as is Darijo Srna, who has retired and joined the coaching staff).
So a busy, and in the end, expensive transfer window. I hadn't planned on making any expensive signings after shelling out so much for Malpass, but circumstances dictated otherwise. (Basically this means some players I have tracked for a while became available!). We brought in half of what we played out though, and have managed to cut wage expenditure ever so slightly.
With Gael Clichy not getting any younger a new left back was needed, and Douglas stood out to me. He is young, with a lot of very good stats already. He hasn't reached his potential yet, and hopefully some tutoring from Clichy can help him reach it.
Jason Malpass
It took a lot of negotiating to get him, and indeed he cost a lot of money, but finally he is mine! Having worked with him at Swansea and with England, I know how effective he can be. I hope to see the goals flowing soon. £40million of his fee will be paid over 48 months.
Davor Dovecer
He has come in as third choice goalkeeper, but in all hojnesty he looks very good! He was three and a half tar potential and could turn into a top drawer player given the right training/tutoring/etc.
Mauro Vasquez
As I said further up the page, I wasn't planning on making any other big signings, (fee's above £15million), but Vasquez is someone I have trailed for a while, and when he became available I couldn't say no. His bet role is supposedly as a holding midfielder, but just look at attributes! It's fair to say I have other plans for him!
Laurent Koffi
He's 17 and look at him! I can sign him at anytime for £20million, but I hope to get the price down to between £8-12million.
Gerard Deulofeu
I chased him when I was with Swansea - loan or transfer I just couldn't get him. Rafa Benitez signed him for the Swans not long after I left, and he had two very good seasons for them. But this summer he was tranfer listed by request, and for the price he was available for it was a no-brainer.
Christopher Samba
Salvatore Bocchetti picked up an injury ruling him out for 3 months, so cover was needed. Samba's loan deal cost just £90,000, and the club only have to pay half of his wages, which is £30,000 p/w.
I'm very happy with the squad. It has a much younger look to it than when I took over the club in June 2018. I am disappinted about the laack of Englishmen in it, though I blame that on the previous managers for not investing in English/British talent.
Any screenhots of regens you want to see I'll be happy to post.

Preseason 2019/20 Continued
Preseason Friendlies
As is usually the case with me, we had a very small amount of preseason games. We had good performances in all three games, with my strikers getting on the score sheet, which should stand them in good stead for the start of the season.
Community Shield
Another trophy secured, and this one was one against my former club. It wasn't easy, indeed Swansea played very well under their new manager Carlo Ancelotti. However we took our chances and ran out comfortable 3-1 winners.
The Premier League gets underway very soon, and our first game is against Newcastle at the Etihad.
Plenty of investment.
Well it's rather hard not to
Thomas Lewis' Career - August 2019 - Manchester City
Premier League
A good tart to the league season then, with two wins from two. We weren't great against Newcastle, but sneaked the win. At West Brom though were outstanding, and in truth it could have been more than four. Both Malpass and Deulofeu got their first goals in a City shirt too, which was very pleasing.
Thanks to our two wins, the manager of the month award came my way for August.
Champions League Draw
Despite a eason out of Europe we were still amonst the top eeds for the Champions League group stage draw. Here is the group we have been handed for our first year in the Champions League under my leadership;
It should be fairly easy to navigate, I would have thought.
And here are the rest of the groups;
It looks like we dodged a few tricky looking groups!
Excellent set of transfers, even though you laid out a little more than intended. It's not like you're short on funds anyway Hopefully the new signings gel with the squad quickly, you've definitely got a shot at replicating your final season with Swansea.
To be fair all the players were needed, partly because of the quality of the players we sold, partly because the youngsters in the reserves/youth team aren't quite ready for such an important role in the first team. Next summer, barring a disaster this term, I want to limit the spending.
Thomas Lewis' Career - September 2019 - Manchester City
Premier League
A good month for us, with the only dropped points coming in a 0-0 draw away against Liverpool - which is never a bad result. We started excellently with a 4-1 win over Fulham, before that draw at Liverpool after the internatinal break. That was followed up by a stunning hattrick from Lucas Moura in a 3-0 win over Spurs. The end of the month saw us grind out a 2-0 win at QPR, where the breakthrough didn't come until the 70th minute, though it was thoroughly deserved.
Once again our performances this month saw me take the Manager Of The Month award once again.
League Cup - 3rd Round
Not a great performance against the side we beat in last years final, but the team had been changed around alot and was therefore a little disjointed. Still, we got through and that's the main thing.

Thomas Lewis' Career - October 2019 - Manchester City
Premier League
Another terrific month for us as we maintained our excellent start to the season. We opened up the month with a very good win against my old club Swansea, and after that we travelled to Bolton with Jason Malpass having gone six games without a win. However, against Bolton he came back to form with a stunning hattrick in the 4-1 win, and he just for good measure he even set up Neymar's goal. The month ended with the Manchester derby, and the kind of game that Malpass was bught for. He didn't disappoint, and hit another hattrick in the 3-0 vicotry.
For the third month in a row this season I lifted the Manager Of The Month award.
League Cup - 4th Round
Another tight League Cup game with a side that was switched around alot. Creedit to the players to be fair, we went down to ten men after 50mins and Bolton equalised straight away, but we re-grouped and went on to grab a winning goal.
In the quarter finals we are at home to high flying Newcastle.

October 2019 Continued
Champions League
Not a great performance in Switzerland. Indeed they probably deserved to win, but we defended decently and clung on for a point. We were better against PSV, even if we did benefit from two own goals, and keep our noses just ahead of Porto at the top of the group.

Great work from Aguero and cracking start to the season.
I wasnt crediting you .
Its ok Tom, I will let you off.
Great work so far this season! Malpass is beginning to pay back some of his fee
For that money I'm not surprised they're being demanding of him.
Near perfect start to the season! Looking like another good one

"…No man lives without hurting or bleeding. Almost every man conceals the scars and sometimes the bitterness of a lifetime of injury, rejection, disappointment. This side of life, however, is less than half the story. The tragedies, which break our hearts again and again are not more numerous than the healing influences which mend us. More impressive than the broken-ness of our hearts is the fact that we have a heart and that it is tender enough to suffer. Even a scar tells us of more than the wound we have sustained; it tells us that we have prevailed. No agony is sufficient to cancel the fact that a man was born and that life and thought, emotion and choice, love and reason go on inside him."
Behind the bandana is the pain of a man who lost the wife he loved, his son, his family. ( see I really "…had my heat broken by a woman named Tammy…" ) So of course I can relate. Still, despite the pain, I choose LOVE over HATE, and claim happiness and greatness as my fate. My point is, sometimes, Love Stories do Suck!

A fateful anniversary
A brief story from Vatican Radio notes that a meeting of Catholics and Orthodox will take place this week in Istanbul to mark the 1,700th anniversary of the so-called Edict of Milan in which the emperors Constantine and Licinius ordered that all citizens be permitted to worship God as they saw fit. The instruction freed Christianity from the threat and reality of persecution and ordered that confiscated Christian buildings be restored. A translation is provided below. It will be noted that the toleration is granted to all religions. It does not represent an establishment of Christianity, which would come later in the century with the edict of Theodosius I, also given below.Constantine himself, however, certainly favored the Church with his patronage; and before the year 313 was over, he would be asked by Donatist bishops in northern Africa to intervene in their disputes with Catholic bishops, and he showed no reluctance to include arbitrating such disputes among his imperial duties and rights. A fatal entanglement ensued.
The "Edict of Milan " (313)When I, Constantine Augustus, and I, Licinius Augustus, fortunately met near Milan and were considering everything that pertained to the public welfare and security, we thought that, among other things which we saw would be for the good of many, regulations pertaining to the reverence of the Divinity ought certainly to be made first, so that we might grant to Christians and others full authority to observe that religion which each preferred so that any Divinity whatsoever in the seat of the heavens may be propitious and kindly disposed to us and all who are placed under our rule. And thus by this wholesome counsel and most upright provision, we thought to arrange that no one whatsoever should be denied the opportunity to give his heart to the observance of the Christian religion [and] of that religion which he should think best for himself, so that the Supreme Deity, to whose worship we freely yield our hearts, may show in all things His usual favor and benevolence.Therefore, your Worship should know that it has pleased us to remove all conditions whatsoever, which were in the rescripts formerly given to you officially, concerning the Christians, and now any one of these who wishes to observe the Christian religion may do so freely and openly, without molestation. We thought it fit to commend these things most fully to your care that you may know that we have given to those Christians free and unrestricted opportunity of religious worship. When you see that this has been granted to them by us, your Worship will know that we have also conceded to other religions the right of open and free observance of their worship for the sake of the peace of our times, that each one may have the free opportunity to worship as he pleases ; this regulation is made so that we may not seem to detract from any dignity or any religion.Moreover, in the case of the Christians especially we esteemed it best to order that if it happens that anyone heretofore has bought from our treasury from anyone whatsoever, those places where they were previously accustomed to assemble, concerning which a certain decree had been made and a letter sent to you officially, the same shall be restored to the Christians without payment or any claim of recompense and without any kind of fraud or deception. Those, moreover, who have obtained the same by gift, are likewise to return them at once to the Christians. Besides, both those who have purchased and those who have secured them by gift, are to appeal to the vicar if they seek any recompense from our bounty, that they may be cared for through our clemency. All this property ought to be delivered at once to the community of the Christians through your intercession, and without delay. And since these Christians are known to have possessed not only those places in which they were accustomed to assemble, but also other property, namely the churches, belonging to them as a corporation and not as individuals, all these things which we have included under the above law, you will order to be restored, without any hesitation or controversy at all, to these Christians, that is to say to the corporations and their conventicles: providing, of course, that the above arrangements be followed so that those who return the same without payment, as we have said, may hope for an indemnity from our bounty.In all these circumstances you ought to tender your most efficacious intervention to the community of the Christians, that our command may be carried into effect as quickly as possible, whereby, moreover, through our clemency, public order may be secured. Let this be done so that, as we have said above, Divine favor towards us, which, under the most important circumstances we have already experienced, may, for all time, preserve and prosper our successes together with the good of the state. Moreover, in order that the statement of this decree of our good will may come to the notice of all, this rescript, published by your decree, shall be announced everywhere and brought to the knowledge of all, so that the decree of this, our benevolence, cannot be concealed. Edict of Theodosius (380)It is our desire that all the various nations which are subject to our Clemency and Moderation, should continue to profess that religion which was delivered to the Romans by the divine Apostle Peter, as it has been preserved by faithful tradition, and which is now professed by the Pontiff Damasus and by Peter, Bishop of Alexandria, a man of apostolic holiness. According to the apostolic teaching and the doctrine of the Gospel, let us believe in the one deity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, in equal majesty and in a holy Trinity. We authorize the followers of this law to assume the title of Catholic Christians; but as for the others, since, in our judgment they are foolish madmen, we decree that they shall be branded with the ignominious name of heretics, and shall not presume to give to their conventicles the name of churches. They will suffer in the first place the chastisement of the divine condemnation and in the second the punishment of our authority which in accordance with the will of Heaven we shall decide to inflict.

Very interesting - so the Decree on Religious Liberty had about 16 1/2 centuries of precedent.
these Christians are known to have possessed not only those places in which they were accustomed to assemble, but also other property, namely the churchesDid they not gather in churches? Where did they gather, and what were churches used for if not to gather?
Was there religious liberty? Weren't the Arians being persecuted back then?
The reason for religious liberty, "so that any Divinity whatsoever in the seat of the heavens may be kindly disposed", is one I have not heard before. It's not about conscience but about trying to game the (maybe) gods. Very Greek...
Ms. Baldwin: No, the Arians weren't being persecuted in 313.
Claire, I'm not sure of my grasp of history, but I don't see the need to talk about a Greek tendency to "game the (maybe) gods. Why should a sensible political ruler claim to know just what to say about the gods or God? It's the Edict of Theodosius that is problematic, to say the least.
istm that the Edict of Theodosius was the precursor to the many varieties of "Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus" that remains with us even today, albeit in a watered-down version:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_Ecclesiam_nulla_salus
To answer my question from 5:52pm: I wonder if it is possible that "namely the churches" is a mistake? It's a detail, but I am wondering if my understanding of the English might be faulty, and I am puzzled.Here: And since these Christians are known to have possessed not only those places in which they were accustomed to assemble, but also other property, namely the churches, belonging to them as a corporation and not as individuals, all these things which we have included under the above law, you will order to be restored, In another translation:http://www.earlychurchtexts.com/public/edict_of_milan.htmAnd because it appears that, besides the places appropriated to religious worship, the Christians did possess other places, which belonged not to individuals, but to their society in general, that is, to their churches, we comprehend all such within the regulation aforesaid, and we will that you cause them all to be restored And for those who are able to read Latin (not me):http://webu2.upmf-grenoble.fr/DroitRomain/Constitutiones/ed_tolerat1.htmEt quoniam idem Christiani non [in] ea loca tantum ad quae convenire consuerunt, sed alia etiam habuisse noscuntur ad ius corporis eorum id est ecclesiarum, non hominum singulorum, pertinentia, ea omnia lege quam superius comprehendimus, citra ullam prorsus ambiguitatem vel controversiam isdem Christianis id est corpori et conventiculis eorum reddi iubebis, supra dicta scilicet ratione servata, ut ii qui eadem sine pretio sicut diximus restituant, indemnitatem de nostra benivolentia sperent.
Bernard: sure, but look at the contrast between the motivation given in the first sentence of this text and the one given in the introduction of the Vatican II decree on religious freedom: A sense of the dignity of the human person has been impressing itself more and more deeply on the consciousness of contemporary man, and the demand is increasingly made that men should act on their own judgment, enjoying and making use of a responsible freedom, not driven by coercion but motivated by a sense of duty. The demand is likewise made that constitutional limits should be set to the powers of government, in order that there may be no encroachment on the rightful freedom of the person and of associations. This demand for freedom in human society chiefly regards the quest for the values proper to the human spirit. It regards, in the first place, the free exercise of religion in society.
From 313 to 380, a mere 67 years: so the same person could have witnessed, in their childhood, a time when people were persecuted because they were Christians, and, and their old age, a time when people were at risk of persecution because they were not Christians!
It is important to note that this period, especially with the decree, of Theodosius, has been called by many Catholic historians and theologians, as the Triumph of Christianity. The message was lost, at least officially, as Empire became more important than the Gospel. More accurately this was the Decline of Christianity.
The meeting is, appropriately, in Milan, not Istanbul. I don't know how Vatican radio got it wrong.http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/pope-highlights-religious-freedom...
Claire, I suspect the first justification is in lieu of boilerplate language asking the Gods to look favorably on the edict. The second justification, which is about freedom, is probably more accurate:"we have also conceded to other religions the right of open and free observance of their worship for the sake of the peace of our times, that each one may have the free opportunity to worship as he pleases ; this regulation is made so that we may not seem to detract from any dignity or any religion."
Claire @6:10 pm,I think "any Divinity whatsoever" may be an echo of the inscription that Paul saw on an altar in Athens: to an unknown God. (Acts 17:23) The Greeks had plenty of shrines and temples for gods and goddesses, including relative newcomers like Dionysus, but they were worried that they might have omitted, and therefore offended, some deity they hadn't even heard of. Christian prayers for intercession do something analogous when they end a long list of named saints with "and all the saints," lest they leave out the one who might be most disposed to help on a given day.Although Constantine favored Christianity, adherents of the old religion were still quite numerous and influential in the early fourth century, and even emperors would not have wanted to stir up trouble with them. Their gods had always gotten along tolerably well with each other (except for occasions like the Trojan War, when they took opposite sides), and I suppose it was hoped that Christianity would just settle in comfortably alongside the other beliefs. But monotheism is inherently intolerant, and without a healthy dose of secular and far-in-the-future "live and let live," it was bound to stamp out its rivals as soon as it could.It has taken us a very long time to grasp, even as imperfectly as we have so far, the huge difference between a license granted, and therefore revocable, by imperial edict (or any government fiat) and inviolable rights inhering in the individual conscience.
Things I thought I'd never see: Bill Mazzella and George Weigel, who has been a great promoter of a "post-Constantinian church," on the same side of an argument!But there has been some interesting revisionism going on, led I believe (I don't have comprehensive knowledge by any means) by Peter Leithart's "Defending Constantine," which Robert Louis Wilken reviewed at First Things:http://www.firstthings.com/article/2011/02/giving-caesar-his-due
David: It's really a revision of the revisionism, no? From "the triumph of Christianity" to "the end of the Constantinian era" to "he wasn't so bad after all."
David, it does not appear that you understood me correctly. I noted that Constantine brought on the decline of Chistianity. So I do no promote, as you say Weidgel does, the post Constantinian Church. Au contraire.

6 Unresolved Cliffhangers That Ruined Great TV Shows
The cliffhanger is one of the most useful tricks in the book for TV writers: Not only does it keep viewers coming back week after week to find out whether our favorite heroes will finally meet their doom (spoilers: they won't), but it also discourages network executives from pulling the plug on a show before the story is resolved. That's why huge, dramatic cliffhangers are so popular in season finales -- if the execs cancel the show before we find out what happens next, they'll look like giant douchebags.
However, if your show isn't doing all that well in the ratings, that sure as hell won't stop said execs from giving it the ax. So let's take a moment to sympathize with the cult followings of these shows who will never know how their stories turned out ...
#6. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles -- John Kills the Whole Franchise
The Halcyon Company
The Sarah Connor Chronicles was a TV spinoff of the Terminator movies that took place after the events of T2 : A teenage John Connor and his mother, Sarah, having prevented the future annihilation of mankind at the hands of killer robots (but not really), are transported from the '90s to our present ... because look, they could either spend the show's budget on grunge shirts and Spice Girls posters, or they could use it on killbots and explosions.
The Halcyon Company
Guess which one they went with.
Anyway, the show mostly dealt with several time travelers from the machine-dominated future bumping into each other: Terminators sent to terminate things, members of the future resistance sent to terminate Terminators ... hell, they even had Terminators sent to terminate Terminators. In short, it was a fun time for the whole family.
The Cliffhanger:
Basically, they undid the whole Terminator franchise in two minutes.
In the last episode, a time machine dumps young John Connor and Weaver the Friendly Terminator in the post-apocalyptic future where John is the legendary leader of the rebellion against the machines. However, because John left his spot in the present and never grew up to resemble Christian Bale, no one in this future has heard of him ... effectively wiping out the premise for the entire series. Even John's dad, Kyle Reese, is there and doesn't recognize him, and that guy was like the Connor family's #1 fan.
The Halcyon Company
And without future John as his role model, Kyle ended up going with a decidedly more metrosexual look.
Then a confused John sorta stares at everyone for a really long time and the credits roll. What happens next? How will John go back to the present and fix the timeline? We'll never know, because the show was cancelled after only 31 episodes. One of the reasons given was that it was too expensive, so maybe they should have gone with the grunge shirts instead of the explosions after all.
So, to recap, as of now future John Connor doesn't exist and Skynet has no reason to send Arnold Schwarzenegger back to the first Terminator movie to kill John's mother, erasing the entire series from existence, along with several million dollars from James Cameron's bank account (we're guessing he eventually went back to trucking in this reality). But hey, at least this means T3 and Terminator Salvation never happened.
#5. Twin Peaks -- Agent Cooper Gets Possessed, Then It Ends
CBS Studios
Twin Peaks was ostensibly a show about FBI agent Dale Cooper's investigation of the murder of teenager Laura Palmer, but in practice it was about literally everything else, from backward-speaking dream dwarfs to aliens to that fine, fine coffee. In fact, the Laura Palmer mystery was wrapped up halfway through Season 2, although the party responsible, an incorporeal demon called Killer Bob, was still out there.
CBS Studios
Lurking behind your furniture.
The Cliffhanger:
Everyone's favorite character becomes possessed by a demonic rapist.
In the Season 2 finale, Agent Cooper goes into a mysterious extra-dimensional place called the Black Lodge to rescue his love interest, but instead he bumps into an evil version of himself. Rather than settling for that and finding out what it's like to give yourself a BJ, Cooper confronts his doppelganger and only one of them comes out of the Lodge -- the evil one. In the last scene, Bad Cooper smashes his head on a bathroom mirror and we see that his reflection is that of Killer Bob, the demon who raped and killed Laura Palmer.
CBS Studios
It's that or Hobo-Gandalf.
And that's how the show that had captivated America one year earlier ended -- not with a delicious cherry pie, but with blood running down a defeated Cooper's smiling face. In an attempt to save Twin Peaks from cancellation, the producers had brought back series creator David Lynch for this episode, and while he provided the David Lynchest 50 minutes imaginable, the ratings apparently still sucked. This means that Killer Bob has been joyriding in Agent Cooper's body for 20 years now -- even if Coop did escape the Black Lodge at some point, he'd have serious brain damage from all those intentional bumps on the head.
To add insult to injury, Lynch went on to make a Twin Peaks movie ... but it was a prequel, for the most part, so it didn't continue the cliffhanger. Of course, knowing Lynch, if he did try to provide a resolution, it'd be something like "Bad Cooper eats a squirrel and transforms into Michael Jordan, the end."
CBS Studios
Replace the Man from Another Place with Muggsy Bogues and *BOOM* -- instant Space Jam sequel.
#4. Spider-Man: The Animated Series -- Spidey Loses Mary Jane and ... That's It
Marvel Studios
For those who grew up in the '90s, the 1994 Spider-Man animated series was a wonderful introduction to the impressive clusterfuck of plotlines that is comic books. Unlike the earlier Spidey shows with their blatantly recycled episodes and shitty animation, this one actually had ambitious years-long storylines and character development.
Marvel Studios
... and shitty animation.
For example, at one point in the fifth season Spider-Man finds out that his wife Mary Jane Watson is actually a clone who dies melting into a puddle of genetic goo, while the real Mary Jane had fallen into a dimensional vortex two seasons earlier and was still missing. Spidey then goes off to desperately search for his missing MJ (usually when that happens, it's your roommate who smoked it).
The Cliffhanger:
After jumping across realities and teaming up with other Marvel heroes for several episodes, in the very last one Spider-Man is finally reunited with ... Stan Lee.
Yes, as a reward for saving every reality that ever existed, the mysterious Madame Webb rewards Spider-Man by taking him to our world and introducing him to the guy who created him. Rather than punching Stan in the nuts for causing the death of his uncle and dozens of other misfortunes, Spidey takes him for a swing across town and leaves him stranded on top of a building. Madame Webb then promises that now she'll really take Spider-Man to search for his missing wife ... but of course that never happened, because the show ended.
Marvel Studios
"Hey, swing by Jack Kirby's place. I want to moon his widow."
The series did get a pseudo sequel called Spider-Man Unlimited where our hero is briefly seen back together with Mary Jane with no explanation, but then that also ended in an unresolved cliffhanger. That's how devoted these cartoons were to recreating the experience of reading Marvel comic books: They even replicated the part where you just lose interest one day and stop reading them in the middle of a storyline.

edit: never mind fixed it

Why aren't you happy with it?
I've started a new game on the 9.3 patch - when it goes to a match it goes straight to the 2d tv view - I've only got the commentary selected (I only want to watch the commentary!) - so why is going straight to this?
Sorry - ignore this - I hadn't selected it seeing as it was a new game - my bad!

yep i downloaded from steam
Im having a small superficial problem, ill try posting some pictures when i can. But basically real players have had their pictures removed and certain regens are missing their faces and you just see a crop of hair
Think I may know what my problem is. When I go -C:\Users\
\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive, I'm unable to delete the temporary folder in order to give me a complete reinstallation- it says that it is corrupt and unreadable, what can I do?
"Error 0x80070091: The directory is not empty" by the way.
I'm not sure why it won't open and over 100 test machines of varying specs haven't had this problem. It may be an idea to try it without any User Account Control on (you can switch it back on afterwards) just incase that's interfering, it shouldn't but you never know.
Okay you've tried re-installing and tried deleting the folder causing problems but Vista is stopping you.
After uninstalling did you reboot your machine? May be worth trying that and then trying to delete the folder.
If this works let me know, if not report this in the bugs forum and attach a picture of the crash dump when it comes up (a copy/paste of the contents would be good as well) and I will get someone to look into it.
Hi I hope I'm talking to the right person here.
I have football manager 2009 (not live) and I am unable to load a previously saved game for some reason? Do you have any solutions?
Grr I have been trying to download the patch since 5pm! I am using steam but it gets to about 50 0dd percent the restarts!! very annoying!!!! Any suggestions?
just started uploading a new game with the new patch and half way through loading this popped up .......
Application Error-
A serious error was encountered and the application will close. An error file has been generated in - DAVE-PC/C:/Users/Dave/Documents/SportsInteractive/footballmanager2009/crashdumps....
any help!!?
i got this?
Maybe not a bug a little annoying - I used Steam only to patch the game, but I ran it using a direct shortcut to the fm.exe (no that one Steam uses to create). Now after installation of 9.3.0 the OS tells mi that Wlanapi.dll is missing and fm.exe had failed to run - I found that dll on the net and placed it in FM folder, but it couldn't find another dll related to Windows WiFi Zero Configuration (I forgot the name). When I press OK in that error window the game runs normally. It's a little weird because there is no error when running the game using Steam. Uninstalling the game, Steam, re-installation and activation with uniloc doesn't help. I'm using Windows Server 2008 x64 and have no WiFi cards .
It doesn't seem to have any affect on the game so don't worry but I wonder if any of you SI-guys could tell why it's happening.
'Error reading file block 184'
What does this mean?
Hey Guys,
Ive just gone to download it via bittorrent and i click on the pc link. it goes onto the page but nothing happens, just a blank page.
What do i do???
137,632 kb is the file size of mine.
DONT DOWNLOAD FROM RAPIDSHARE.DE, most downloads corrupts
here is rapidshare.com link, you should add this into main post.
After downloading the patch to my mac (!) and installing it correctly, everything seems to work. However when i start up the game it asks for the DVD. However i have bought it over the internet, and does thus not have any dvd. I have tried launching both my usual shortcut, and launching the program through applications/Sports interactive/Fm2009/, but it says the same thing.
Plz help
Can you try something for me?
Do you play in windowed mode? If not go into windowed mode through preferences (check text) and in there resize the window, see if it makes any difference, just click on the bottom right edge and move size the window that way.
I'm not sure what's causing this but if this sorts it out it may give us something to go on.
I dont know if anyone else is had this problem or is it a concidence that i have had 7 in juries in a week?
and another one!
FGS its another one. Is anyone else having this problem?
Last edited by Goals53; 26-02-2009 at 22:57.
The digital version shouldn't be asking you for the dvd at all.
I think I know what you may have done. Did you get the standard mac patch? If you have a digital version you need the eSellerate patch not the normal one.
The eSellerate patch is here:
- FM 2009 v9.3.0 - Mac (eSellerate)
Download and install that and give it a go, if it doesn't work you will have to uninstall the game completely and start again (eSellerate should keep your purchase details for re-activation).

I bought it from Sigames.com. At least thats what my mail says. "Thank you for purchasing from sports interactive".
But i have been playing it since 9.1 and through 9.2 without any problems. The problem first arised when i upgraded to 9.3. It has never asked for the DVD before now.
EDIT: Aaah. Maybe thats why. Didnt know there was a digital patch. Ill give it a try.
Advice needed from Steve Cox or Chris Ritchie. Network problem.
My mate hosted a game with the 9.2 patch and I joined him no problems at all. Then both our games were updated to 9.3 through Steam. I tried to join in the same game but with no success. I hosted a new game just to see if he can join me and he succeeded.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Personally, I think rapidshare are a bunch of money-grabbing scammers
rapidshare.de sucks!
I also got the corrupt file, I'll give that .rar from rapidshare.com a try though the speed is only 45Kb/s =/
Torrent isn't very fast, so everyone who's already downloaded could do everyone else a favor and download the .torrent, rename the installer (if the name is different from the torrent one) and SEED to help. If there's enough seeders, the download should be much faster than most free file host servers.
Whenever there's enough interest in a file, it's the best way to share.
No one gunna answer my question then?
everytime i play a game, it goes to the match screen. before this patch i would simply exit tv view. go onto overview, and every game i start it would be back in the overview. now it goes back into the match and i dont want it too. any help
i tried to advertise for a new scout but that option wasn't on the list of jobs. not a big deal but still.
Does anyone had problems with 3D? After install the new patch, my FM just close when I'll start some game.
Steve and Chris please don't ignore my post (no.146).
Awaiting solution if you can.
I'm afraid that I don't really know very much about network games. Has your friend changed any firewall settings or anything?
I have a slight problem the skin seems to have changed I updated through Steam.
I loaded the skin from the Fm08 version and that works.
Here is a screenshot of the Fm09 skin
Can something be done about that? Its fine playing it with the 08 version aswell tho, so its just a slight problem.
using steam...downloaded wsm patch...open game and screen freezes on the status screen...cursor still moves, but I can't advance to a new screen...all that shows is the power usage graph...which is new, right? I don't recall seeing that in 9.2. Anyways, is anyone else experiencing anything similar? Is this a Steam problem or an SI/patch problem? Thanks...dcc
Last edited by dcc; 27-02-2009 at 04:46.
wait, why after 9.3 it's asking me to activate the game ? It was already activated. When I tried to do it again, it says wrong key.

and then it says this unlock key is already active, to purchase another unlock key visit www.sigames.com
downloaded patch on bit torrent 6.1.1 it says 100 percent complete ...how do i know move it to the files and open it up so its playable.
many thanks.
Again activation people make sure you download the correct patch for your version of the game - it's seperate for Steam bought, store bought and otherwise downloaded (eg, eSellerate) - if you install the wrong one you may have to reinstall the game to get it working again.
Andy, if you browse to the download folder for BT (should be in 'options' or 'preferences' inside BT) you can then run the downloaded patch file
If you get the white text do this:
- Go to preferences
- Go to Display Options
- Tick always reload skin on confirm and untick use skin cache
- Reselect FM2009 skin (I prefer FM2009 right)
Should now be fixed.
JustinJJ: I tried that but I still get the white text, Ill just use the Fm08 skin for now.
Other XML Errors
First of all you need to turn on hidden files and folders. Go to My Computer and at the top select 'Tools' the 'Folder Options'. The go to the 'View' tab and select 'Show hidden files and folders'
Delete the following folder:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\
\Application Data\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\settings
Vista: C:\Users\
\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\settings
This may solve some issues regarding the XML Errors
You never know!
Has any speed test for the game processing time or the likes been conducted for 9.3.0?
i.e. Shall we expect the game to run faster now?
Not sure what XML errors has to do with it always thought XML was coding! Anyway I tried it, still fuzzy.

Thanks Steve that worked
It would also be helpful if you could upload the DB to the FTP so we can take a look and see what the problem is. Information on how to upload to the FTP can be found here http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=54927
For anyone having problems with being asked for codes again could you please try following the steps on this thread:
It's a problem with soft anchor which was happening previously and this was the fix they gave us.
If you're still having problems after this let me know in here.
Could you boot up your game, grab a screenshot (PNG would be great) and then post it here or upload it to our FTP and let me know what it's called please?
Graphics guys are going to take a look at it.

1: What is the size of the file for your patch? If you right click it and choose preferences it will tell you.
2: Are you installing on an 'administratior' or normal user? If you're a normal user you may need to be an admin but that shouldn't stop the patch at that point.
3: Restart your machine, try to run the patcher again.
2. im the only user, and the only account on my pc has administrator privilege
3. already done before writing here, i have not explained all because my english is poor, but i called it a "weird" thing because it happens after patching correctly a good amount of files.

ive got the same problem with the fuzzy text, im running the new patch and have tried everything recommened on here with no result.
my resolution is 1680x1050, im running xp and have a Radeon x1950 PRO graphics card.
heres a screen print of the problem, it seems the text on the left hand side of the screen is fuzzy and the text on the right hand side is fine.
In the one below its the standard windowed size and pretty much all the txt is slightly blured almost like its zoomed in and shouldnt be.
In this one I made it as small as possible and some of the txt became clear again but some of it still isnt.
During resizing the image does become clear for a moment but then simply changes back again, during that process the screen does appear to zoom in somewhat as the load, save buttons etc become larger than normal it would seem.
Unfortunately screenshots are never very clear but the explaination should help.

Those finding that Steam doesn't automatically update FM2009, try just running the game. Steam should update it at that point. This is what I experienced.
Did you try rebooting and then running the patch again?
The only other thing I can suggest is to uninstall the game (copy your saved games), install again and then try to patch again.
If you have the demo installed at all make sure you uninstall that too.
It could still be a corrupt download but I don't want to advise you to download the file again if there is no need.
Yeh I registered for imageshack now, photobucket limits the images too much, anyway hope they can fix it soon since its very hard to stand the blur for a long time.
Also there's not a lot of text on that screen, can you go to a screen where there's more text so there's more to see?
I do have another screenshot now and am asking the coders about it.

Marvelous Menus
- Drawing supplies
- Food pyramid diagram
We have some good news—your child has just been hired as a chef at a world-famous restaurant. Now the bad news—the patrons are tired of the outdated menu and are demanding that your child overhaul it from top to bottom.
Your child's task is to create a menu that incorporates his or her knowledge of good nutrition. Also, he or she must include a variety of foods sure to please everybody's palate. Review the food pyramid with your child, and be sure he or she offers balanced meals featuring plenty of fruits and vegetables, ample grains, enough protein, and so on.
Once your chef has a variety of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack ideas, he or she can create a menu. Younger children can draw pictures; older kids can write out names and descriptions of the meals.
Ask your child to compare his or her masterpiece with the menus found at various restaurants the family frequents. What could the local eating establishments learn from your child's nutrition sense and good taste?

As an experiment, I've been trying to center a DIV in a BODY tag using percentages in CSS. I think I had it figured out at one point, but thanks to the magic of TopStyle not having a history once you save, I lost it.
So, here is my HTML:
<link href="shadow.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

And, here is my CSS:
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #EEEEEE;
margin: 10%;
position: absolute;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
width: 740px;
min-width: 80%;
min-height: 80%;
border: #CCCCCC thin solid;
To answer your immediate questions:
Why am I using absolute positioning on the box?
So that the box will accept 80% as it's height even without content to stretch it.
Why am I width, min-width and min-height like this?
Since I want the box DIV to take up 80% of the available space, it made sense to use minimums. I'm using a pixel width to make sure that no matter how small the area gets, it won't go any thinner than 740px, causing the browser to activate the horizontal scroll bar. In theory, they content height should activate the vertical scroll bar if the content pushes passed 80% of the available area.
Now the trick is to get it dead centered and maintain a 10% space around the box. I've tried applying "margin: 10%;" to BODY, then "padding: 10%;" to BODY, and finally "margin: 10%" to the box DIV. All of those choices gives me the same result: it's centered horizontally but is acting strange vertically. I'm not getting even space on all sides. The only thing that is behaving as wanted is that the box DIV does appear to be using 80% of the available space.
It seems like this should be right. The box DIV is taking up 80%, the margins are taking up 10% on each side (20% vertically and 20% horizontally), making 100%. Not sure why it's not working.
I swear I had this working in a similar manner, and now I've lost it.
Does anyone have an explanation as to why the percentages don't seem to be displaying correctly and what solution I would need?

Will New Health Insurance Be Too Expensive for America's Lowest-Paid?
Bosses, Workers Struggle to Gauge Hit to Paychecks
For people like Salvador Martínez, a 50-year-old grounds crewman, the health-care law seems to be a potential game changer. Because of the law, his employer, a landscaping service in Santa Clarita, Calif., will begin offering coverage to him, and to its 230 other low-wage workers, next year.
But Chris Angelo, a second-generation owner of the landscaping firm, Stay Green Inc., doesn't expect a groundswell of enrollments next year from lower-wage workers such as Mr. Martínez.
While the employees might say they're interested in employer coverage, "we believe they will opt out," says Mr. Angelo. His reasoning? "They'd rather have the cash than pay the employee portion of the premium."
He says: "On the surface, it sounds appealing to them. There might be optimism without having all the facts."
Indeed, Mr. Martínez, who earns $10.50 an hour, says he'd love to have insurance, but he can't afford the estimated $140 monthly cost for his share of the premium next year. "I make too little to spend on insurance. How am I going to pay for food?" he says, speaking in Spanish. He says he won't immediately sign on to the plan.
Stay Green's experience suggests that employers may struggle to figure out how many of their low-wage workers will opt in for employer coverage in 2014. By the same token, it suggests that many low-wage workers could remain uninsured next year, despite the law's subsidies and penalties.
"Of course I prefer to have health insurance because I need it for my children, for my family," says Romérico Herrera, a 48-year-old crewman who earns $11.50 an hour. Mr. Herrera, also speaking in Spanish, says he's had health insurance through previous employers but hasn't been insured since he started working at Stay Green two years ago.
But Mr. Herrera would like to find out what kind of coverage he would get before signing up for health insurance. He says that he wouldn't be able to contribute more than $100 a month. "I make so little that [contributing] more would mean working just to pay for insurance," he said.
Mr. Angelo says he is working with a broker to find a plan that will be as affordable as possible for his workers. As he evaluates different plans, he must also consider his company's bottom line.
For instance, in one scenario, where all 270 employees participate and pay no more than 9.5% of their income to the premiums, it would cost the company $1 million a year—essentially wiping out the company's profits.
One in three low-wage workers are employed by firms with fewer than 100 employees, according to the National Employment Law Project, an organized-labor-backed advocacy group for low-wage workers. "Employers are in limbo," says Paul Fronstin, director of Health Research and Education Programs at the Employee Benefit Research Institute in Washington, D.C. "You never know what the low-wage worker's position is—whether they have other family members who are working, or whether there is another member of the family who has benefits."
For an employee earning $30,000 at Stay Green, for instance, a 9.5% salary contribution to the premiums is $2,850 a year. But under the law, the 1% penalty for that same employee who forgoes health insurance is only $300 a year.
Mr. Angelo says he believes the majority of his low-wage workers will opt out, based on past experience. For instance, the company offers a 401(k) program that most of the workers skip—even though Mr. Angelo offers to match their contributions, up to 4% of their salaries. "It's been a struggle to get them to participate," he says.
Starting next year, firms with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees will need to offer health insurance to all their workers who average 30 or more hours a week.
In addition, employers must not ask employees to contribute more than 9.5% of their income to health-insurance premiums. Otherwise, the employer could face penalties. Employers don't face any penalties if they offer affordable health-insurance benefits and their employees don't sign up.
Also come January, under the law's individual-mandate provisions, most U.S. residents will be required to have health insurance or pay a penalty. Low-wage earners who can't afford their employers' plans may seek coverage through Medicaid, if they are eligible, or through an individual plan available through a government-run exchange.
Alternatively, the workers may forgo insurance altogether and pay the small penalty, which could be their most affordable option. Low-wage workers who forgo employer-sponsored insurance may be able to claim a hardship exemption from the penalty.
Bill Reeder, owner of Campus Cooks in Glenview, Ill., says the insurance plan he intends to offer next year could cost the company $200,000 or $500,000, depending on the number of employees who sign on.
Today, Campus Cooks, a food-service firm that operates in sorority and fraternity houses on 20 university campuses in the Midwest and Southeast, doesn't offer insurance. Mr. Reeder polled his staff recently and found that about half of the staff is interested in an employer-sponsored health plan.
Mr. Reeder is hoping at least 75% will sign on. But he says it could be a challenge to get the chefs, who tend to be younger, healthier and lower-paid, earning between $10 and $20 an hour, to find value in a health-insurance plan when, for most of them, paying the penalty is so much cheaper.
"We want the plan to be simple, be compliant and to get people on board," Mr. Reeder says. "We are grappling with how much we can contribute and make it so everyone can be on the plan."

Hi there Black Hawk...many thanks for the response.....is exactly the sort of data I'm looking for...a proven config & model that can be tried with some conviction, if not a garantee.
My fear was stabbing around in the dark and trying three different types and then giving up again.
Would there be value (logitech folks) in developing a 'black' list or 'white' list of cards that cure the SD recording drop out issue?
Indeed if we can show experiences like yours where a problem was illiminated as a result a specific choice of card, would it not be an idea that Logitech use that with the core boxed product? Or certainly on a failed/replacement basis? Could illiminate a lot of frustration in this area.
Ironically, the SP1 software has come back twice since the sort of this post with 'failure' and 'fix' messages for the partially working cam. so at least a defined & measured failure /success pattern is definable.
Many thanks again for the advice. I'm going to hunt a couple of those down and try them. At the same time I will do as advised by F4U Corsair & log another service post to Logitech & see what they come up. Will suggest your advice to them.
03-05-2012 10:56 AM - edited 03-05-2012 11:58 PM
Blackhawk's post is spot on. The entire MicroSD card market is a little terrifying because it's very, very difficult to understand what you're buying. Again, if you want technical details of how weird/scary the SD card market really is, read this.
So really, it boils down to A) size, B) speed and C) warranty. Although it's sort of pricy, the Samsung "plus" cards are nice because samsung does their own fabrication, have good capacity, have good flash memory and controller, and a ten year warranty. It's even marginally water proof. If you need industrial, I'd go this route. Otherwise, the Patriot card Blackhawk recommended is a great cheaper alternative.
Hi there & thanks for the advice. You know what? I don't really mind how pricey any of the SD's are so long as there is a fighting chance that they will live longer than the standard one supplied in the pack.
Although we cannot be scientific about the SD card being the absolute 100% failure point, I think the structured fault finding can be 95%+ accurate & it does stike me as a bit of a shame Logitech don't 'up-spec' the standard supplied SD card. All the worse as the overall sysytem is fantastic.
Anyway that groan aside, many thanks for your recommendation....now I have two candidates that look the business. I'm tempted to get one of each for each failed cam.
At the same time I have as suggested by Corsair, logged the cams & SD with a full diagnosis, screen shots of failure, repair & recording emails & requesting repolacement SD's. It's reference |No.: #120306-000711
I will see what we get back from the guys on support. But many thanks for the SD recommendation, as I say two good candidates in the Patriot & the Samsung.
And just thinking out loud, is there any cleaning or physical adjustment that can be made to the 700e SD apature or docking point? I'd imagine not but just to check.
cheers again
I have heard of people cleaning the contacts with some success, although it's not clear to me if there's anything to that. But I'd think a quick swipe of the card leads with some isopropyl alcohol would do the trick. I wouldn't try to clean inside the camera; too risky.
One common way I learned to clean easily accessible metal contacts like this (good thing they're flat!) is using a CLEAN pencil eraser. Sometimes with metal contacts black dirt of some sort builds up on the contacts and using a pencel eraser to clean them will make them shine like new. (Just be sure to gently wipe away all of the bits of eraser that are created obviously!)
As jnoring I don't think there is a safe way to clean the card slot in the camera; I doubt you could even effectivly clean it even if you took the camera apart.
Thanks for the advice. I'n keen not to start meddling around too much in this area. I'm not one of the brave souls prepared to dissect & perform surgery inside but if there is an approved contact cleaning process with zero risk then that seens sensible to do.
I cannot imagine dirt or such like being the problem. Our cams are totally covered by a large roof overhang. They never get rain on them, a little atmosphere dust & more recently a spiders web thread but thats about it. And the covers have only ever been opened to do resets and Logitech tech support stuff.
I suppose some form of natural oxidization maybe?
The problem with these things is that in our case the cams are on the 2nd floor and at the absolute corners of the house (logical & practical from a security point of view) but a nitemare from a ladder & screwdriver point of view......V.2 maybe with some form of weatherproof snap in unit?.
But many thanks for the advice ... just waiting on a response from Logitech C/S to my logged issue then for sure will start putting this stuff to some good use.
The logged issue was picked up Logitech and the request for replacement SD's was turned into a despatched UPS order in under 2 hours! Not bad, not bad at all.
The replacements are not upgraded in any sense which is a shame, they are the standard shipped 2GB SD. So still the dilema whether to upgrade or not.
However high marks to Logitech for the turnaround - impressive.

I will be enjoying Uncharted Golden Abyss day one! I also feel the OLED tech is being understated. People have to see OLED's insane contrast ratio's, inky blacks and flawless motion in person to appreciate it. As soon as I got my Galaxy S (4" AMOLED) I knew Sony made a fantastic choice.

There are two additional color morphs. One is a pastel strain that is characterized by a light shell with varying amounts of red and yellow. The other is an albino strain that starts out bright yellow when the turtle is a juvenile and fades throughout its life.
Males tend to be smaller than females, and they have
longer tails. Both sexes have webbed feet and strong claws.
Red-eared Sliders need a 12 hour light/dark cycle, so all lights used should be put on a timer.
The quality of the water will be crucial to your Red-eared Slider's overall health, and we recommend using a water filter and changing 25% to 50% of the water weekly. Never put the aquarium in direct sunlight, as this will encourage algae growth, but put it in a room that does receive sunlight.
Create basking areas by using ramps, docks, soil, or gravel or by gluing corkbark, driftwood, or plexiglass to the side of the aquarium. A platform of stable, smooth rocks, driftwood, or slate can also make a good basking area. Gravel can be used in the bottom of the tank and should be sloped up to the basking areas for easy access. However, using substrates like gravel in the water area can make cleaning the habitat more difficult.
Because Red-eared Sliders are very messy eaters, we recommend moving them to separate eating areas outside their aquarium for their meals. After you put your Slider in the feeding area, allow it to feed for 15 minutes, then move it back to its aquarium.
On warm, sunny days, your Slider may enjoy going outside to swim and bask. Always have both land and water areas available for it, and monitor the situation carefully to prevent overheating.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Prosecutors have left open the possibility they'll seek the death penalty against the man accused of killing an eight-year old girl.
The Shawnee County District Attorney's Office filed formal charges Friday against 28-year old Billy Frank Davis, Jr. The charges include Capital Murder, Rape of a Child, Aggravated Kidnapping, Aggravated Burglary, Burglary to a Residence and Criminal Damage to Property.
Police say Davis sexually assaulted and killed Ahliyah Irvin. The girl's body was found Tuesday morning in a southeast Topeka apartment complex. Family members say a man entered the apartment in which Ahliyah was sleeping and grabbed her. Police found her body about an hour later in another building of the complex.
Officers arrested Davis later in the morning. They found him hiding in a brushy creekbed near the 4400 block of SE Truman.
Davis is being held on $10 million bond.
Prosecutors have not yet said whether they will seek the death penalty. Under Kansas law, they have until seven days after an arraignment to request a proceeding determining whether a defendant will be sentenced to death. The charges filed suggest the case meets the criteria for a capital crime under the aggravating factor that it was the killing of a child under the age of 14 during the commission of a kidnapping with the intent to commit a sex offense.
Funeral services for Ahliyah were held Friday afternoon. A fund to assist the family is set up through CoreFirst Bank.

FAIRMONT - Danielle DiCarlo is a flyer.
Not a Dayton Flyer, but, a flyer for the Fairmont State acrobatics and tumbling team.
She is also a two-time All-American.
Article Photos
Danielle DiCarlo
The 2011 Steubenville Big Red graduate was selected an All-American for the second year in a row by the National Collegiate Acrobatics and Tumbling Association.
"I surely didn't expect it as a freshman, but to be called a second time, I was really amazed," she said. "The all-Americans are called at a national banquet. To be picked by the board members of the NCATA was pretty cool. I was not expecting it.
"Next year I want to make my tumbling even better."
Fairmont State is one of 10 teams nationally that offers the sport. The Fighting Falcons lost to Oregon in the NCATA semifinals in April in Hamden, Conn.
DiCarlo started dancing at age 5 at Missy's Dance Studio in Wintersville.
She started competitive cheering three years later, moved on to a higher level of competitive cheer in the eighth-grade throughout her senior year at Big Red, with Basics in Wellsburg under Brian Faulkiner.
"I decided to try out competitive cheer to see if I would like it and I ended up falling in love with it," said DiCarlo.
She also cheered at Buena Vista, for the Mingo Chiefs and at Harding Middle School. DiCarlo was on the football cheer squad and the competitive cheer squad at Big Red.
During the summer between her junior and senior year is when Basics closed and she was asked by Faulkiner if she wanted to drive to Charleston for more tutelage at the Famous Superstars gym.
At Basics, when she went to the higher level in eighth-grade, DiCarlo was part of a squad that placed third in the worlds in the small all-girl division, which was held at Walt Disney's Wide World of Sports.
"I owe everything to him because he made me the athlete I am today," said DiCarlo. "Myself and a few others decided to drive the three hours to do competitive cheer. It took a lot of time and dedication. It was something I loved. I figured it would be worth it, and it was.
"Brian taught me to be humble and never underestimate myself, but that I could always be better.
"My mom knew that if it was Brian, then it would be worth it, My dad said that if I was going to make the commitment, then I was going to stick it out and they both were behind me 100 percent.
"I missed my senior prom to go to the cheerleader worlds and it was worth missing prom, to go against different athletes. It was a really good experience."
DiCarlo made the decision that, after high school, she was worn out from being a competitive cheerleader, but "wanted something a little different."
Fairmont State won the national title in 2010 in competitive cheer. One of DiCarlo's friends on the national title team told her they were transforming the competitive cheer team into a new sport.
"She told me because she knew I wanted something different and that I should try it out," DiCarlo said.
DiCarlo, who had only applied to Marshall, WVU and Fairmont State, contacted coach Kristi Kiefer and went on a visit.
"She wanted me to try out right then," DiCarlo said with a laugh. "Luckily, I brought some clothes just in case. She offered me a scholarship on the spot.
"I took a couple of days to think about it. I was ready for a change and for something new. But, them holding a national title in competitive cheer made my decision easier.
"I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I have come to love the sport. I love everything about it. I could not imagine my life in college without it."
As for the major?
"I wanted to be a special ed teacher because I love the kids and everything about it," she said. "But, I realized it wasn't for me. So, I tried fashion. That lasted a semester. I talked to my coach and she said to try some classes and see what I liked. I ended up really liking health and decided I want to further my education after getting my bachelor's.
"I was one of those who went to college for a sport and then decided that maybe I should think about what I should do after college. I love my major now. It is something I look forward to when I go to class."
After a rough first semester as a freshman, much like what all freshman go through in college, DiCarlo, who is now majoring in health science with a minor in nutrition, has bounced back with two straight 4.0 semesters, and a 3.75 for a 3.62 GPA.
"Now that I have good grades, I do not want to let them go," she said.
Acrobatics and tumbling is broken down into six categories - compulsory, acro, pyramid, toss, tumbling and team routine. There are multiple heats within each category.
"It brings all different aspects of competitive cheer, but brings it into sports," she said. "There is no cheerleading involved, just gymnastics and stunts. This was my decision. I decided I wanted something different. I was not ready to give it up yet, but I was ready to give up the cheering part.
"I really like it because it's competition, but in a different kind of format.
"I get thrown in the air and I tumble. It's a lot of work and it's a lot of wear and tear on your body. But, it's definitely been worth it."
The meets last over two hours with a halftime. The team routine at the end is 2 1/2 minutes in length.
"It's a lot of work," DiCarlo said. "We have conditioning Monday, Wednesday and Friday for an hour with the strength and conditioning coach. We work out two hours a day for six days. Plus, I work a job, and I am a fulltime student.
"This has taught me a lot about time management, which I had no idea what that was when I started college. None at all. But, now, I couldn't imagine not being an athlete in college. I would not know what to do with my time."
This year DiCarlo was in compulsory acro, compulsory tumbling, compulsory toss, six-element stunt, two pyramid heats, two tumbling heats, two basket heats and the team routine - 11 events.
"It is intense, but it's so worth it," she said. "It makes me want to become better.
"With 10 teams nationally next year, and one of them being Hawaii-Pacific, it has been so cool to watch the sport grow. I feel it's going to be huge. It's really competitive and you feel like an athlete."
Through all of this, has been mom and dad.
"I can't thank my parents enough for pushing me to go forward with this," DiCarlo said. "They love watching all their kids compete in sports. They have supported me through everything. They taught me to never give up. If life knocks you down seven times, you get back up eight. When life throws you curve balls, there is always a way to dodge them.
"My mom and dad were the ones to say that I should try acrobatics and tumbling and, thank God I did. I love it. They are at every one of my meets.
"As long as they are there, it's awesome. They tell me how proud they are of me, and it doesn't get any better than that."
