I deleted the n.league something file also seems to of sorted the team names out (well alot changed anyway) My club is now called Black Pecker Hakodate almost as interesting as Daito Grim Reapers it is abit rubbish that you cant see the club info screen etc. you can see you staff you just have to go around-about way to find em ... I'm sticking with Japan for the time being though ... Oh and the unbeaten run continues 4 games into the second season 1 win and 3 draws :confused: and i'm now onto my 5th tactic it just seems whatever i do i draw.
Played my friendlies and most of the games were won with ease, but i drew a few and lost 2.
Im enjoying it so far, made quite a few signings, missed out on Xu Liang though who i remember from an fm09 game in hong kong, really good player, alot better than anything i have, shame he wanted wages i couldnt afford.
First competitive game is against Dalian Yiteng, who if you remember, i could have managed the game is a cup game, but ill probably leave it until tomorrow.
Have started again in the U.A.E.
I am now the proud(ish) manager of Al-Jazeera Al-Hamra.
Link to Japanese badges. I can't find any other info on google but I didn't look very hard.
Edit: I lost 9 of my first 10 games in UAE so that went out the window. I'm going to have a play through the leagues before I start posting about it.

The game just arrived, installing now. Might get my traditional Indonesia game going tonight
I was just testing out the edited databases and ran a holiday game in Guam (took about 15 minutes to go through the season, and that's on my slow laptop ). Reset date is June 28th and I can upload the game saved at June 27th if anyone's interested. A quick look around at the players and staff available suggest it will be quite a challenge!
I think I'll start a game here at some point, as I have unfinished business with Wellington in the A-League. Can anyone playing there check that the bug keeping New Zealanders away for 3 months for the Oceania Cup has been sorted? Cheers
Thanks Big D for the Guam reset date.
The save game would be a good idea. I might holiday in the other countries to get their saves and post it here.
Not a bad week. 3 games played, 10 goals scored, two hattricks and zero conceded.
All three games were at home but meh... what the hell. At least I am playing in front of a full house every week.
Here you go: Guam holiday save, 27th June 2010 (reset date 28th June)
I've finally settled and I'm now in Iran. Sat about 6th after 14 games so not doing to badly.
Its always nice to know your wanted first job offer ... I'm a bit jelous that they actually have a transfer budget and have over a 1.5k better wage budget at a time when i'm struggling to persuade the board to renew 2 of our star players contracts.
Lost my first ever League game ... Oh well 17 games without a loss is pretty impressive (especially when in the Hokkaido League thats nearly 2 seasons)
Good luck in Iran blowcrapup .. looking like a good start.
Good going kabajingai.
Nice week kabajingai. I wish I can have those weeks once in a while.
Thanks Big D for the save. It's now added to the OP.
Glad to see you're settled in blowcrapup and tough luck brettney. Two seasons without a loss is very impressive.
As for me, I've settled into Indonesia...It's been fun so far...well except for a 3-0 home loss Persipura in the Indonesian Cup. We're going to lose heavily in the away leg.
Blowcrapup in Iran - Season 2010/11
After much moving round (I loaded 6 different leagues) I finally settled in Iran with Mashin-Sazi Tabriz. Here is my profile - Me
Starting off with newly promoted side Mashin-Sazi seemed like it could be achallenge but when I looked they were predicted to finish 11th in the league this season. Looking at the squad it was clear that they were more than likely the relegated team from the 08/09 season and after googling it they were one of the relegated teams. The English version of their name is Machine-Sazi apparently. Interestingly they are based in Azarbaijan but play in Iran.
Anyway back on topic they had a slightly stronger side than the other teams facing relegation but they still had gaping holes in their side with a least one poor player in Defence,Midfield and Attack. I brought in 13 players before the transfer deadline and another 2 in January, spending a grand total of ........... $5k. Most of these were from the trial day and didn't play a single game. All of my U18's are all 1 star recommended apart from 1 so I needed some good prospects in. There will an exodus of about 15 players who couldn't cut it.
Preseason friendlies went well with the side winning 5 of their 6 games only losing to a Premier League side. I said earlier that we were 7th after 14 games and although we did move around slightly that was where we finished. We managed to Win 10 Draw 5 but Lost 11.
We did managed to score 32 goals but not one player managed to get into double digits with my top scorer being a midfielder who scored 7 goals all of them penalties.
The cup was terrible with us going out 1 nil to a Premier ship side in the 2nd Qualifying round.

2010/11 - Iranian First Division Group 'A' - Finished 7th.
Nice first Season in Iran blowcrapup. Just out of interest are your new Youth players coming through Azarbaijani?
No they are all Iranian but if Iran was one of the newly created leagues then the person who made it may not have known or it may not be possible to.
It is possible, if on the database the stadium is set as being in Azerbaijan the regens will be from there.
According to wikipedia the town where the club is based is the 4th largest city in Iran and the Capital of the East Azarbijan province.
Ah right, East Azarbaijan/East Azerbaijan is a province of Iran, not in the country Azerbaijan, so the regens should be Iranian
Ahh .. Thats that explained then
Just holidayed in Indonesia. (Barito Putra finished 4th in their Division 1 group). I'm now looking for teams that meet my strict criteria:
(i) Decent stadium size
(ii) Do NOT begin with P.
(iii) A team that I don't dislike from FM09.
The 2nd one will definitely be hardest.
EDIT: (ii) might not be possible, I'll take a team beginning with P as long as they don't play in blue.
Earendil was Persmin last year iirc. The average attendance is tempting, it's between them and Medan Jaya. Medan Jaya have much worse attendances it seems. Both are in Barito's group, so I'll be reacquainting myself with them soon (is it just me or do I seem to mention Barito Putra in every post in this thread? )
Just got to finish off some work, then I'll get this started.
Rancer, do Indonesian clubs still not get youth players? Last year they were all created without a club.
Black Pecker - Season 2011 - Japanese regional Hokkaido League.
Final Table.
To help with our low wage budget i made alot of offers for Loan players trying to get some for has little wages as possible i did manage to get 3 2 being forwards (we really struggled to pick up any Forwards this year other than the Loanees).
We managed to convert some of our Draws into wins and even though we lost our first ever league game on Matchday 8 it didn't ruin our season too much and we still had a chance of entering the Promotion Playoff league we had too win our last game of the season against top side Goal Plunderer and unfortunately they got the better of us beating us by a single goal in a match where our Forwards just didn't turn up (literally in the case of Argentine Striker Gonzalo Bonafina he was out with a virus.
The cups were good for us with the Board being very happy with our runs - Confidence.
We got to the 3rd Round of the Emperor's Cup and the 1st Round of the All-Japan Shakaijin Cup.
Squad Stats - Finances.
I was also offered another Job at the end of the year a Club 2 Divisions above us no less
I don't think i'll be changing my squad around as much going forward as i think we're settling now so i'll introduce a few names ...
Masahiko Sato; AMR/L/C 29, Japanese.
Won the Hokkaido League MVP (Most Valuable Player) as well as getting the Hokkaido Leagues most Assists Award. Also made the Hokkaido League best 11 of the season.
Gonzalo Bonafina; CF 25, Argentine.
Was 3rd top scorer in the Hokkaido League with 3, was injured most the season and only made 5 apps for us this year.
Kohei Narita; AMC/CF 18, Japanese.
Our top scorer for the season joined us on loan from Ehime FC.
Hiroki Koshiba; CB 16, Japanese.
Made his League debut for us at 15 and played a very important part for us this season even earning more M.O.M Awards than the rest of our squad.
Yuta Ono; RB/LB 28, Japanese.
He was our highest average rated player performing consistantly for us playing in every League game.
Ri Hae-Kun; GK 32, North Korean.
I managed to upset our fans a little by letting our previous GK leave (I didn't think he was good enough) they hopefully was impressed with our replacement though.

Good season there brettney1980, hopefully next season you'll get promotion. Your finances don't look great, I guess there's not much money around at this level in Japan. Do you get any prize money from the cups?
Say hello to the new manager of Persmin Minahasa. We're known affectionately as Manguni Makasiouw, but I'll think I'll stick with Persmin. No honours since formation in 1963, something that I'll be looking to put right swiftly.
We play our home games at Maesa in Tondano, which has a capacity of 15000, 8000 seated, with fairly basic training facilities, and basic youth facilities with an academy. Our starting balance is £62,487, not too bad. The media prediction for this season is 2nd, which could be difficult, especially as we've only currently got 5 players.
So, here we go, Indonesia Part III!
Playing my 10th game of the season, and i still havnt won drew 3, but im 6 points behind 13th
16 more games after this one, i need to get my team sorted out, and into winning ways
And i was winning this game up to 82mins, and they equalised
Im just a crap manager haha
Al-Tohami 2012-2013 Season Update
Another season, another update. With the clubs offensive problems last year, I decided to bring in some veteran strikers/midfielders to bolster the attack. My scouts recommended plenty of cheap and unattached (had only £5k for transfers) players... and all of them laughed when I offered a contract. So plan A was out, on to plan B. I signed up several young players who had been released by their former teams (mainly in the Premier League). They may have looked bad to their former teams, but they looked great to me. 2 defenders and 3 midfielders later, I had my new team, though I didn't manage to sign a striker. Hopefully my issue last year was not creating chances from the midfield, and not poor finishing up front. To replace my retired keeper, I also signed our first senior international, the U.A.E. U21 and senior team starter.
Things were looking promising, more so when the media began hyping one of my new youth system products, hyping Saudi Premier League teams being willing to pay £2.5 million for him (and causing me to immediately sign him to a 5 year deal)! For a team whose balance has hovered around £40k (peaking just over £100k) during my first two years this would be huge, even if I had to lose the player. An offer even came in, and I hesitated a bit before clicking on the news item, as I didn't really want to decide between keeping a solid prospect and the potential financial windfall. The choice was made for me when I saw the offer. £2k plus £12k over 12 months, plus something like 20% of profit on next sale. I laughed, and after they refused my counter offer, I never received an offer again.
So how did the actual season go? Well, losing our first game 2-1 on a 92nd minute offside goal wasn't a great start, but then we went on a run, and I'll let the table speak for itself:
League Table
We clinched the title after game 21, and didn't lose a second game until game 22. Maybe my strikers weren't the problem after all, they managed to score with my new midfield providing the chances. Time for my youngsters to prove they belonged in the Premier League after all! Hope they're up for a challenge, since (a quick 2013-2014 preview) there are individual players in the Premier League who make half my total wage budget.
Back again next season, maybe with some extra screen shots to introduce the finances/players now that I'm in the top league. The real work starts now!
Just reached the half way point in my 2nd season and no prizes for guessing where we are. Sat 7th again with 7 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses.
Great season there Nightowl, seems like your team really got together by strengthening the midfield and defence.
We are currently on fire when it comes to scoring as our last 3 games have gone 4-0, 4-3 and then a huge 7-0 win away against Newcastle Jets which made them fire their manager. Cristiano has been the star in all 3 games with 2, 4 and then 3 goals in the games. Between Cristiano (15 Goals) and Matt Simon (13 Goals) they have scored more then 6 teams in the A-League.
Well both my Ass Man and Coach have left to take roles elsewhere and not only are any potential replacements nowhere near as good but they sign a contract then cancel it straight after with no reason ... Whats that all about!?
I've had to reinstall so have begun this challenge again. I've stayed in Australia and joined Perth Glory after they finished last.
Here is the profile of the new manager Hugh Jaars.
Welcome and good luck with Perth Glory archie.
Persma update
We qualified out of the first phase with 3 games left. I want to finish first but it seems JSalter are managing Barito Putra in my game and are the only team ahead of me in the standings.
I would want to show you all a screenshot but I can't make one in Windows 7...
EDIT: I finished 1st in my group and eventually lost in the 2nd Stage Final. However, the important thing is promotion in the first season to hopefully boost my not-so-very-good finances.
Last edited by rancer890; 05-11-2009 at 06:29.
We have finished the second season 16 points clear on top which means that if we win the A-League finals we have completed the 1st part of the challenge. No team seems to be able to stop Cristiano and if he has an off day then Simon seems to step up.
Persmin pre-season 2010 update
The league season is underway now, and I'm fairly happy with my squad, despite it having an average age of only 19. Pre-season started poorly, with 0-2, 0-0 and 0-1 being our first 3 friendlies. However, after that my players seemed to adapt better to my tactics, and the next 4 games ended 1-0, 1-1, 1-0 and 2-0. All of our friendlies were at home to teams from higher leagues, so there were plenty of positives to take from the last 4 games at least.
My star player looks to be 16 year old Syahrul Akbar, signed on a free. His technical stats look brilliant for this division, so hopefully he can be the class act, and help us to have a successful season.
Our first league game of the season was away to Persiku, who are predicted to finish top of the league. Without any away friendlies, setting up our tactics required a bit of guesswork, but it worked perfectly. 2 early debut goals from Akbar and a late 3rd for another young striker, Tony Hidayat, secured a 3-1 win, and an excellent start to the season.
Well done on promotion rancer, trust Barito to get in the way though!
Congratulations on the promotion rancer and Sayhrul Akbar Looks like a great player JSalter
Last season at Brisbane Roar I was playing my Marquee, Scott Chipperfield, as a DL which is his 2nd best position after ML. I noticed that he was unhappy (possibly due to being played out of position) so I threw him into ML, and moved someone else into DL, and all of a sudden he is thriving. I've scored about 4 or 5 goals in the past 4 matches from him crossing it in perfectly to the head of Van Dijk. It is almost like these two players were meant to be together!! I also managed to pick up Kisnorbo at the start of this 2nd season, which is a relief as Moore is getting on with his years.
Blowcrapup in Iran - Season 2011/12
We started strongly beating recently relegated Steel Azin 1-0 in the opening game. We continued strongly winning 3 out of our next 4 games. We then came up against our bogey team Etka Gorgan who promptly beat us. The shock of this forced us to lose our next game as well. This started a huge run of games where we would win one week and lose the next. Apart from the odd few games this happened from October to January where we re-discovered our winning form.
We were stuck mid-table and it looked like we were heading for a 7th placed finish again this year but a run that saw us pick up 11 points from 15 in the final few games pushed us up to 5th.
Our cup run was slightly better this year with us drawing a non-league side in the 2nd Qualifying who we beat 3-0. We then drew arch-b******s Etka Gorgan in the 1st Round who dumped us out in 1-0. We have actually only managed to take 1 point from them accross the two seasons.
On other fronts one of the players actually made double figures this year round. Koroush Barmak scored 13 goals in 26 games this season. His striking partner only managed 8 in 20.
The reason our form was so inconsistent was a combination of injuries especially to the keeper who was out for 4 months and bans.
Another possible reason is pre-match press conferences. At the start I was doing them all but as I am trying to do uni work at the same time I started to leave them for my Ass Man. This is when my form started to suffer and towards the end of the season when I started to do them myself form improved. However having said that it could have been because my 1st team keeper returned from injury. There could be possibility for an experiment in here if someone has the time to do it.
On the transfer front 13 players did leave us last year with another load of crap, out of contract players on their way out this year. We brought 5 players in this year 4 on free transfers with the other, an Austrian Iranian, costing $80. Yes that is just $80 dollars, for the price of an Xbox game and a few McDonald's meals you can buy a man. What a world.

Media Prediction - 5th

Table - Graph - Finals Series
What an exciting season. Possibly the best season I've ever had on an FM game. I was slightly out-done in the league, and slightly outdone in the finals series, but I qualified for the Asian Champions League!! My squad is definitely improving, and I've picked up some amazing transfers, so with a bit of handy work and maybe a new marquee signing, I may win the league next season. Central Coast Mariners were just unstoppable. I did manage a draw and a win against them, and only lose the minor final to them by away goals (before losing to them in the grand final 3-0), but they're definitely a step above everyone else.
I think I may have won the season if my superstar from last year, Sergio Van Dijk didn't get badly injured, and wasn't playing for Indonesia every second weekend. I also seem to have 8 of my youngsters consistently in the U23, U21 and U19 Australian squads, and I also had 3 other players called up for the Australian Senior squad. There is no doubting my pedigree, so I'm expecting great things next season!
Finances - Transfers
I brought in quite a few free transfers this season. I needed to get some back-up for a few positions, and also needed an Asian player to get settled in before any eventual foray into the ACL. I also managed to find Richard Garcia (currently plays for Hull City in the EPL) in the Australian non-league! I couldn't believe my luck (and his lack of luck to end up there). I also found an out of favour Brazilian Marciniho, who was quite the steal, especially at the age of 27. I am a tad worried about finances though. I'm on a runaway train, and its destination is debt. Hopefully the ACL answers my prayers and gives me a lil' somethin' somethin'.
Scott Chipperfield - Amazing player for his age. Assisted quite a fair share of my goals, and was a pivot of creativity. He also knows how to defend.

I didn't know it when I started holidaying in Iraq (what a sentence) but Mosul are actually a huge club thats not in the premier league after withdrawing twice in recent years due to security and finances. Anyway it was no surprise they bounced back up to the premier league and so are playable. Apparently I am allowed to sign 5 foreign players with 3 in the match squad but really what kind of nutjob would accept that offer, I shall have to try and sign Afghan's, Eastern Congolese and players from Darfur and lands affected by the LRA in Sudan for them to feel Iraq is a safer place
Oddly enough almost every home game I get a message saying low turnout expected but I'm have a pretty big wage budget (about $300k annually) that I'm no where near.Nice year blowcrapup. I like those finances...
Hmm. Akbar has just ended a goal drought of almost 21 hours; after scoring twice on the opening day of the season he's taken until the end of November to score his 3rd. Probably says a lot about how we're doing at the moment
Persmin Minahasa - 2010/11 Review
Just a quick update...
Indonesian First Division: 3rd
Indonesian Cup: 1st Round
Not a bad first season, but we missed out on promotion by 6 points. Persma and Barito Putra were the promoted teams from our group. It looked unlikely we'd finish as high as 3rd though as we lost our 3rd game of the season 5-1 away to Perserang. At the half way stage, we were sitting in midtable, but only 1 defeat in the next 10 games lifted as into a promotion challenge, ended by a 1-0 defeat at home to Persma.
Syahrul Akbar ended as the top goalscorer, but he only managed 6 as we struggled to score. His main strike partner only scored 4 times. Between them they managed 6 goals in 6 games towards the end of the season, so if they can continue this things look more promising for next year.
We've currently got £138k in the bank, some of which we'll lose over the close season, as we don't have a match for 5/6 months.
Targets for next season:
- Promotion
- Score more
- Improve the finances

Media Prediction: 1st

Squad 2
The squad didn't have a lot of players, so I had to sign most of them. One thing they did have though was an abundance of goalkeepers...
I didn't sign Imron and Stradilin, but Imron did turn out to be pretty useful to the club. I utilized a lot of loans from my parent club, and will probably do the same next year to minimize costs...
Partly helped by the money making cup matches...

Good season MachinegunHead. Your finances look very similar to mine which has resulted in an attempt of a board takeover going through at the moment.
Good year Machinegunhead. Sergio van Dijk is unattached in my game. I tried offering him a contract but he rejected...
Good first season JSalter. You're in a strong position for promotion next year once you find some players that can score goals.
It's probably my tactics tbh. Akbar is definitely a player who should score more than 6 goals at this level, but all the 1st season I was experiementing what role to give him. I've not really got the hang of tactics on FM10 yet, but he seems to be doing better as a target man at the moment.
Just got these two messages, Takeover and Transfer Embargo.
First time I have ever had these but hopefully if it does go ahead they decide to keep me as manager.
Javier Zanetti leading a takeover bid for Adelaide United You should be able to do enough to keep your job.
I'm using the tactics from FM09, and they seem to be doing fine in Indonesia.
In Persma news, my chairman is now willing to 'listen to offers'.
Don't worry Ethan, the transfer embargo will be a pain, but I'm pretty sure they won't sack you...
This has put us through to our first Grand Final under me. Despite dominating the game it looked like we would crash out but a nice finish from Cristiano and a stunning strike from Simon has won the game for us.
Thanks to an early Murdocca goal we have won the A-League final therefore completing the first half of the challenge. It was a close match but thanks to a couple of good saves we were able to hold onto our lead throughout the match. The next goal, the Asian Champions League.
Congratz Ethan on winning the A-League final. Best of luck in the Asian Champions League.
As for Persma. I just signed my first foreigner, and my squad is shaping out to be very solid. I just lost out on a fantastic young striker, but I have signed Plan B at least...
Well done Ethan on winning the A-League.
Just beaten Super Legaue side Persija 2-0 in the 1st Round, 1st Leg of the Cup. Wasn't a fluke either, we totally deserved it, goals from strikers Akbar and Hidayat. This result means we're still unbeaten so far this season.

Won the league by 16 points as we dominated. We scored the most and ended up with a goal difference of +37. Our best win with a 7-0 away win against Newcastle.
A-League Finals Series- We started poorly as we lost 2-1 away against Central Coast with them scoring in injury time even though we played better them then. We could only manage a 1-1 draw at home which meant we lost 2-1 on aggregate. In the prelim final we dominated but were down 1-0 until we scored 2 late goals to make the grand final. An early goal from Murdocca was good enough to win the final.
Finances- Shocking which has caused an attempt of a takeover.

Good job, Ethan13! The finances look terrible, hopefully Javier Zanetti takes over and throws a bunch of money into the club.
As for Al-Tohami, we're doing surprisingly well in the Premier League, although this was a bit odd:
Didn't really expect to be playing in snow in Saudi Arabia.
Mosul 2010/11
I started with a team of the sort of quality that I thought could go a long way in the league although with very little depth. Since there was no one good available for free I had to get in the least bad players to come in as backups and go with the players I started with. Particularly impressive of these was Abdullah Hamada. In fact due to his brilliance and several other of my younger players I lost one match by having 6 players called up to Iraqi youth teams. Nevertheless I ended up finishing the league in a strong 5th place. For next season I believe my team will be much stronger since I've been able to steal several good players whose contracts were running out.

Good first season Quackje. I see you have badges for Iraq. Where did you download those badges from and are there badges for other countries as well?
I've had these badges since '08 it was like a mega thing a downloaded of sortitoutsi I think. There aren't logos for every club in countries like this but for most of them a couple of teams at least have logos.

I guess Iraq is an improvement over Africa...
I think I underestimated the Indonesian Premier Division. It's a bit harder than I thought...
Well after my game destroyed itself over in the America's challenge, I've decided to get as far away as possible and head east.
I'm going to give the Philippines a go. After holidaying I am the new manager of Giligans FC (Yes, like the Island).
Fantastic start to my first season in charge at Perth Glory. Ten games in and on top by ten points.
Great start archie#10 hopefully you can keep that up. Seeing as the A-League season isn't very long it is great when you can open up a large lead as the other teams struggle to catch you.
Update on my Adelaide United save. We are still under a transfer embargo as the takeover keeps going from good and looking like it will be resolved within a few days to looks like it will collapse. It isn't good though because the transfer window is nearly over and we haven't been able to make any signings besides frees. The squad is good though but we could do with 1 more defender to add some more depth. We won our first league game 5-2 with Cristiano scoring a hat trick so it looks like it could be another season with a lot of goals (Hopefully).
I'm am set to play a beautiful style of football no matter what. We'll see how that works out with a team that scored the least goals last season.

Season Summary
First season complete. My attacking, pro-creativity based style has paid dividends as we scored almost double the goals of the closest team. The Islanders (as I've dubbed them) won a hard fought 2-1 victory over regular season champions Mendiola Utd in a one match playoff to pick up the championship. Now lets see what kind of continental competition we've gotten ourselves into.

Transfer News
Because of the club's low reputation, I can seem to sign any foreign players, nor any filipinos based in other leagues. In fact, even a free transferred countryman from Fulham says, "Hell no." I've withdrawn my scouts to look for gems at local clubs. We'll see how this, my increased reputation from the championship, and my involvement in continental competition impacts the market.

Nice season Brixton. The Filipino league starts in the AFC Cup (level below the AFC Champions League). If you win the AFC Cup, you get 'promoted' to the AFC Champions League.

Sorry for the combined update, these Filipino seasons run insanely fast.
Season Summary
The second and third seasons didn't go as planned. In fact, they were awful. We've seen ourselves not even close to the continent with sixth and seventh place finishes. Our journey into Asia ended swiftly in 2012 as we didn't make it out of the preliminary groups in both the President's Cup or the Asia Club Championship.

I didn't see any uptick in foreign interest despite appearing in continental competitions. However, I have noticed that the even with fairly basic facilities, promoted youth team players usually have better attributes than the original players when the game was started. Perhaps if we can consistently qualify and do well in tournaments then I can upgrade them and get at least a partial stranglehold of my own country.
What do you think of the Filipino league Brixton? No bugs that you can tell?
And can you also tell me the reset date for the Filipino league? Thanks.
Right decided to give this ago, some of you might remember I had a fairly successful save on FM08 in China and with the options to expand the game I thought i'd give Japan a go.
I started the game but forgot to post a profile, but have one now. Manager Profile I have taken over at Joestu Warriors, in the Kanto League Division One. Below is my first season in charge of them.

Transfers None out, 4 in pre-season, 1 in close season. Nothing spent, nothing gained.
Squad Poor overall, one potential star in Jun Imanishi, but he got injured for 2 months and never really got going. Was a miracle that we were within a whisker of winning the league.
Finances In the Red but to be expected. We had a huge wage budget but never used it thankfully. Will look to address this situation next season.

The league is great, there are no bugs at all. The reset date is June 19.
Welcome back ToMexico!! Hope you can win the title with Joestu Warriors next year.
Thanks Brixton for the info.

I'm in Filipino overdrive right now, this is so addicting. Will be my last for a few hours as I am probably closer to the Philippines than most of you, so time for a little sleep.
Season Summary
In short, season No. 4 = title No. 2. My Islanders and Pasargad FC stayed one/two for most of the season, but we won in the playoff final to clinch the title. I'm pretty sure that this year being a World Cup year that we might not have the Asian Club Championship in the summer like usual. We only conceded five goals the entire season, so I guess those crazy sayings are correct. A good offense is a good defense.

Transfer News
My youth players are really starting to come around. We had a couple more gems in the striker position and midfield that asserted themselves this season. I switch my wingbacks back to the typical fullback position and decreased the width of my field. Next season should be exciting.
Thinking it might be the end of me soon as I have a record of DLDL so far this season and sit 7th from 8 places. Will report back in a few games to see if there has been any improvement.
Rancer, noticed anything wrong with the Premier Division? Specifically regarding relegation.
Mosul 2011/12
As I predicted I was a much stronger side this year and we raced out with 10 wins a row. Some sloppy games including a 3-0 defeat to them let Al-Zawra'a back in the race though. By the last game of the season I was 1 point ahead and 1-0 up away from home at Arbil who promptly equalised in the 88th minute and I was unable to turn it round for a win. Thankfully 10th place Sulaymaniyah managed to hold Al-Zawra'a to an amazing 0-0 draw handing us the league. This set up a playoff with the other half of the Iraqi premier league champions, Najaf. I was certain that my half of the league was stronger with cup winners and last years winners, Al-Zawra'a and the only professional club Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya (who bought one of my strikers for £140K, part of a £525K spending spree this season, no one else bought anyone for money). I was again proved right by defeating Najaf 3-2 to become the champions of Iraq. I think there may be a slight bug here since the Najaf manager was sacked following this defeat which seems a bit strange considering they won their half of the league. Key player this season was right winger, Safwan Abdul-Ghani.

I've resigned as manager of Joetsu. More players left over the close season not wanting to renew, my first team was basically my U18s with a splattering of 'first teamers'. Was beyond a joke. Would be nice to know what the clubs reputation is, because we just can't attract the players nor the staff. Don't know whether to holiday til the new season and take over a new club or start a fresh in another country.
Quackje: congratz on winning the Iraqi title. How many foreigners do you have? I think those Niger and Lesotho born players think Iraq is a safer country.
ToMexico!!: good luck wherever you decide to go next.
...but they don't. Only 8 teams come up, so it seems the game randomly decides which of the 11 to keep up. Last season on my game a team finished 2nd bottom, but didn't get relegated, while a team that finished 4th bottom did go down.
But the good news for me is that I don't have to worry about relegation. We're doing quite well atm.
One thing I am getting annoyed are the amount of long term injuries I have to some of key players...a couple are gone for 6 months...
I only have an Iranian and 2 Yemenis, I'm getting a Syrian and will try to sell one of the Yemenis.
Quackje: Are the Lesotho players all pretty much at the same club, or is there a smattering of Lesothoans (or something like that) around the league?

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, also known as acute lymphocytic leukemia or ALL, is a cancer arising from the bone marrow. Specifically, it is a type of cancer that affects the white blood cells, those cells in our body responsible for fighting off infection. In ALL, too many immature white blood cells (lymphoblasts) are produced, and they begin to replace the normal blood cells in the bone marrow. ALL is the most common cancer to occur in children and it accounts for over one-fourth of all cases of pediatric cancer. In the United States, approximately 4,500 new cases of ALL are diagnosed each year in people less than 25 years of age. The peak incidence occurs between 2 and 5 years of age. ALL occurs more commonly in males than females and more frequently in Caucasians than African-Americans. Children with certain genetic conditions, including Down's Syndrome and immunodeficiencies are at greater risk for developing ALL. Advances in treatment have greatly increased the survival rates for pediatric ALL patients, and over 80% of children obtain 5-year survival.
The presenting symptoms of ALL result from bone marrow infiltration and disease spread. ALL primarily affects the white blood cells which are cells responsible for fighting off infection. Therefore, children with ALL often present with a repeated series of infections. The abnormal white cells take over the bone marrow resulting in lower numbers of normal red blood cells (which are responsible for carrying oxygen) and platelets (which are responsible for helping to stop bleeding after injury). As a result, children with ALL can be pale and tired, and often experience bruising and bleeding. In addition, children with ALL can present with fever, bone and joint pain, weight loss, difficulty breathing, swollen lymph nodes, or enlargement of the liver and spleen. In children with disease present in the central nervous system, headache and vomiting can be the initial symptoms. In boys with testicular ALL, a unilateral painless swollen testicle may be the presenting symptom.
A careful history and physical examination, along with laboratory tests will help determine if a child has ALL.
ALL is by definition a systemic disease, as the cancer has traveled all over the body and is not localized to one specific spot. Therefore chemotherapy is the main form of treatment. Successful treatment involves administration of multiple different chemotherapy drugs, divided into several phases that occur over two to three years. The four stages of treatment are: induction, consolidation, intensification, and maintenance. The aim of induction therapy is to get the child into remission, defined as less than 5% blasts in the marrow. After remission has been achieved, consolidation, intensification, and maintenance therapy occur to keep the cancer in remission and prevent emergence of drug resistance. Successful treatment of ALL also involves the delivery of chemotherapy into the central nervous system. Irradiation of the central nervous system may be utilized to additionally target any cancer cells that might be present in the brain or spinal cord
Relapses most frequently occur in the bone marrow; however, relapse can also occur in the central nervous system, the testis, the ovary, and the eye. Most relapsed leukemias retain their original molecular characteristics, but sometimes cellular changes can occur known as a "lineage switch." Relapse protocols include more intense chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, or localized radiation.
Although survival rates for children with ALL were not always high, advances in finding effective chemotherapy agents has increased the 5-year survival rate to around 80%. Important factors influencing prognosis include: white blood cell (WBC) count at the time of diagnosis, patient age and sex, initial response to induction therapy, and certain molecular features of the cancer cells. WBC count less than 50,000, age between one and ten years, hyperdiploid cells, female gender, and good response to induction therapy are all factors equated with a better prognosis.
Although no specific risk factors have been shown to cause ALL, children who have Down's syndrome, Neurofibromatosis type 1, Bloom syndrome, and ataxia telangiectasia experience ALL at higher rates than the general population.

What You Need To Know About Mechanical Fuel Injection - Retro TechWritten by Marlan Davis on October 1, 2010 Contributors: Wes Allison, Hilborn Old-School Constant-Flow Mechanical Fuel Injection Still Dominates At The Drags And In Sprint Cars. Some Even Use It On The Street.
Long before electronic fuel injection or even performance Holley carburetors, high-end racers operating primarily at wide-open throttle used a purely mechanical, constant-flow fuel-injection system first pioneered by Stu Hilborn in the late '40s, a system that is still preferred today by many drag racers and Sprint Car racers, particularly those using alcohol fuels, and it's the thing to have in a retro gasser, which is hugely popular now. Even in 2010, Hilborn systems and its close relatives continue to hold sway not only in nostalgia drag cars, but also in those higher-end Sportsman and professional classes where allowed by the sanctioning body's rules. And let's not discount its visual appeal, either: The massive injection stacks poking through the hood and its badass belt- or cam-driven mechanical fuel pump practically scream that the car is a serious player. But making them work and keeping them working long-term requires regular attention, constant maintenance, and (gasp!) actually turning a wrench. Although Hilborn is specifically referenced in this article, the same basic principles apply to competitive constant-flow, mechanical systems, including the still-available Kinsler and Enderle setups, as well as the Crower units now serviced by Ron's Racing.
How Fuel Injection Works
A constant-flow fuel-injection system assumes that any engine's fuel curve requirement is nearly linear: Fuel flow to the engine should increase in direct proportion to engine rpm. This is accomplished by means of an engine-driven positive-displacement fuel pump that delivers fuel to each cylinder via individual lines and nozzles. A set of throttle butterflies regulates airflow to the engine. The greater the amount of throttle opening, the higher the airflow and engine speed. The higher the engine speed, the greater the pump output. This sounds like a pretty simple and straightforward way to deliver fuel to an engine, but there's a problem: Laid out as described, the only way to richen or lean the system is by changing the entire fuel pump size. That is a pain and compromises low-rpm fuel pressure and delivery.
The solution is to use a pump with a safety margin that supplies more fuel than the engine actually needs, then meter the correct fuel amount into the cylinders by regulating the port nozzles' orifice size. This raises fuel pressure in the entire system, ensuring a constant supply at each nozzle while enhancing fuel atomization. The fuel flow at each nozzle is determined by the pressure of the fuel delivered to it, and the fuel pressure (as we've seen) increases along with engine rpm.
But what do you do about all that extra, unneeded fuel? You recycle it back to the gas tank. Hilborn's fuel pump has an inlet and an outlet side. On the outlet side there are three ports. One feeds the injectors; the other two are available to bleed off (or return) excess fuel to the tank. All systems use the second outlet, called the primary return or main bypass. It contains a restriction-known as the main jet or pill-that ensures fuel flows to the nozzles first. Pills come with different size orifices to control how much fuel is recycled. Changing the orifice size richens or leans the entire system, but it works the opposite way compared with a carburetor jet. To richen the engine you use a smaller pill because it allows less fuel back to the gas tank and consequently more for the engine. The primary bypass also contains a spring-and-poppet valve that effectively blocks off the main jet to help develop pressure during cranking when pump speed (and pressure) is very low.
The third outlet is for an optional high-speed bypass. Only the highest-end racing systems, usually running methanol at very high rpm, require this additional cutout. The cutout is an additional spring-loaded poppet valve that releases fuel back to the gas tank when the top-end fuel pressure is too high.
The fuel pump's outlet injector feed line runs to a common junction block, usually located in the center of the intake manifold on a V-type engine. This metering block has a large inlet port for the fuel pump line, small outlets that correspond to the engine's number of cylinders (and injector nozzles), provisions for an additional fuel tank return line called the secondary or low-speed bypass, and an internal barrel valve that functions to reduce fuel flow at idle and the first one-third of throttle opening, as well as permit adjustment of the idle fuel mixture.
The secondary bypass is spliced into the barrel valve's low-speed circuit. It was originally developed for circle track and road racing applications in which the throttle is often closed at high engine speeds when going into a turn. This cuts off airflow to the cylinders while fuel flow from the pump remains high, causing an over-rich condition. To prevent this, the spring-loaded secondary poppet valve is used that opens at a set pressure to bleed off excess fuel, but it operates only in the first one-third of throttle travel rather than on the top end. This additional bypass has proven so successful that it is now used in virtually all applications.
Typical System Layout
Here's a typical system layout for a door-slammer with a rear-mounted main fuel tank. When the fuel tank is in the back, a separate forward-mounted reservoir is highly recommended to ease priming and minimize system restrictions. With such a separate tank, an electric automotive fuel pump (1) and filter (2) feed fuel from the main tank to the surge tank through a Holley float bowl (3) that is used to regulate the tank's fuel level. The surge tank needs a vent (4), preferably exiting outside the engine compartment.
Fuel is drawn from the surge tank by an engine-driven injector pump (5), which delivers the main fuel feed to the barrel valve (8) through a high-flow inline filter (6) and shutoff valve (7).
Shopping for Fuel Injection
Constant-flow fuel injection has been around for more than 60 years. That's good and bad news: Good because there are tons of used parts available for reasonable prices on eBay, bad because 60 years of evolution has spawned many detail changes that can create parts compatibility problems for the unwary buyer who ends up with a mismatched combination. Intake manifold and nozzle design has changed over the years; many of the used parts were originally intended for use on higher-end race exotic blown fuel applications and are likely too big for use on more reasonable Sportsman or amateur-level combinations, and critical wear components like the fuel pump, even if the right size for the application, may be plain worn out.
You see, injection system manufacturers custom tailor each system they build for the specific combination. If you call Hilborn and order a new system, it wants to know the engine type, size, rpm range, compression ratio, cam, and cylinder heads; the type of racing and racing class; the fuel type; the vehicle weight and drivetrain specs; and (if blown), the percentage of blower overdrive and boost pressure. From this information, Hilborn can assemble a compatible system with the appropriate throttle bore size, barrel valve, nozzles, pump size, main jet (pill) selection, and type and setting of bypass units. Obviously, it's purely a matter of blind luck if a used system will work on your specific combo. And-whether due to wear or incompatibility-if you end up replacing major expensive parts such as the fuel pump, the barrel valve, or even the intake, it may not be such a bargain after all. Buyer beware.
Beyond just selecting the right components, new and used systems must be flowed at Hilborn or other mechanical fuel injection specialists to make sure all the parts are properly matched. Production variances, especially on older units, mean that even two supposedly identically configured systems may not flow exactly the same without custom tweaking. Although precision parts are becoming available that have more accurate flow control, you are unlikely to find them in a used system. Bottom line: Always have a used system flowed before tuning anything, and treat your matched set of jets and nozzles like gold.
Hilborns On the Street?
Hilborn mechanical-injection systems are intended strictly for racing, and the company made a very firm point of that repeatedly while we worked on this story. The company offers no tech support or assistance for using its systems on the street. Constant-flow fuel-injection is designed to work at wide-open throttle (WOT) under load above 2,500 rpm. Street engines cruise around at part-throttle, low-load conditions-and there are many different possible loads even at the same throttle angle. The barrel valve lacks the sophistication to properly meter fuel under such varying circumstances. And there's no compensation for changing atmospheric conditions.
Nevertheless, some of you will try to run a Hilborn setup on a street car anyway. We're not saying it's impossible-just be prepared for constant tinkering and manual adjustment. If you can get the car to idle and cruise at part-throttle, it will probably be too lean on the top end; conversely, if set up for proper top-end fuel delivery, the idle will be way too rich. Magnetos won't cut it-run a top-of-the-line MSD ignition system. But you'll still change spark plugs often. Only about two guys in every 100 succeed. Those who do invariably run a stick shift and a blower, which seems to put more load on the engine.
If we still haven't talked you out of it, be sure to add a small auxiliary surge tank. It's needed on cars with rear-mounted gas tanks to move the injector's primary fuel supply closer to the engine-driven pump to avoid restrictions in the return lines that cause the engine to run rich. The surge tank also makes it easier to prime the engine for prestart. It should be mounted higher than the injector pump but lower than the barrel valve. This allows gravity feed priming of the pump for easy starting but keeps fuel from flowing by gravity to the nozzles. Remember that the top of the fuel level determines the point of gravity feed. Surge tanks are offered by Ron's Fuel and other sources.
Add a shutoff valve between the pump and barrel valve. Closing the shutoff after engine shutdown keeps fuel from running into the cylinders, plus it helps keep the system primed for easy restart. Choose the longest velocity stacks available to enhance midrange torque, along with throttle bodies and nozzles on the small side. For a 350 Chevy, the smallest presently available intake mounts 2 3/16-inch butterflies, which can still support 450 to 500 hp on the street with reasonable driveability. If you can find them, in the '60s Hilborn offered 1 13/16 and 2 1/16 butterfly combos.
There's a direct correlation among nozzle size, pump size, and main jet size. For example, going to a larger pump might call for a larger-orifice jet because of the pump's higher capacity. No. zero rotors in a PG150C pump will usually do the job on the street, with 500ci-plus mills moving up to a No. 1 rotor.
Tuning Fuel Injection
With system in hand, basic tuning starts with first making sure the linkage is properly adjusted. Even a new, factory Hilborn system needs some basic post-installation linkage adjustments, because clearances change as the engine heats up. First check the linkage and butterflies for bind. If necessary, loosen the butterfly screws, pull each throttle shaft front to back several times to center the butterflies, and retighten the screws. With the butterflies closed, use a feeler gauge to obtain the proper clearance between the butterfly blade and the body. Finally, on a V-type engine, adjust the linkage crossbar so both banks open and perform identically. For the finest adjustment, consider measuring exhaust temperatures using a heat gun. Another solution is a Uni-Syn device, available from Hilborn, Kinsler, and other sources.
As for overall system calibration, adjust the barrel valve first to keep response good while also making sure the 60-foot and 330-foot times are strong. One technique is to turn the barrel valve hex link one flat at a time until you get the best throttle response off-idle with no burp or bog.
After setting the idle, tune for full-throttle. By midtrack, the main jet is in control and should be tailored for best times. If running alcohol, you would then adjust the high-speed bypass. Note that a misfueled alky motor can have symptoms that are the opposite from gasoline, so if the car stops pulling or is flat on the top end, it actually has too much fuel. In that case, decrease the shim in the high-speed bypass to lean it out on the top end for best e.t. and mph. Any jet change requires a corresponding change to the high-speed bypass. Every time you richen or lean the motor by one jet size, you must add (for richening) or subtract (for leaning out) one 0.030-inch shim from the high-speed bypass.
The low-speed bypass is usually adjusted last. Removing shims will lean it down. You may have to adjust the barrel valve hex link again if you've messed with the low-speed bypass.
If this all sounds rather complicated, Hilborn maintains an extensive online tech library and has also posted step-by-step how-to videos on YouTube. The important thing is to have patience and keep a record of your changes. Mechanical injection may be old school and require constant tinkering, but the reward is unsurpassed full-throttle performance that will blow the doors off of just about anything.

The fuel pump is primarily responsible for setting the overall fuel curve. This curve is then tailored by the barrel valve, main jet (pill), and associated bypasses. Here, you can see the inlet (A), shutoff valve (B), outlet to the barrel valve (C), and primary bypass (D) that also contains the main jet.There are a variety of different-size pump bodies, and for each body, there are several different-capacity rotors available. This PG150C fuel pump housing is recommended for most 265 through 400ci gas-fueled engines. It accepts (from left) rotor Nos. 00, 0, S0, 1/2, or 1. Changing the rotor also requires installing a different lid that matches the new rotor size.The primary bypass houses the main jet (A), a poppet valve (B), and a spring (C). Changing jet and nozzle orifice sizes determines the fuel supply. The spring keeps fuel from returning to the tank during crank until fuel pressure overcomes its tension. Running on gas, a 0.016-inch wire-diameter spring is used to open the valve at about 1.5 psi. The secondary and (if used) high-speed bypass valves have similar-appearing internals, but these pure poppet valves have shims to set spring tension and no jet.Every barrel valve has a certain width ramp. More throttle opening exposes more of the ramp, allowing progressively more fuel to pass. The No. 54 barrel valve is the most common size for gasoline-fueled applications.The metering block (A) distributes fuel to each nozzle. It also contains the barrel valve that controls the amount of fuel for idle as well as during the transition to wide-open throttle. The secondary bypass (B) screws into the barrel valve's outlet port. Modern Hilborn ports seal with O-rings or Stat-O-Seals-don't use Teflon sealant on straight-thread AN-style fittings.Nozzles must match the design of your intake's mounting bosses. A few of the many variations used over the years, from left: straight 1/2-20 AN O-ring seal for late internal air bleed intakes, 1/8-NPT straight and 90-degree external bleed, 1/8-NPT external bleed with deflector tips used on outboard-mounted nozzles.Two-piece intakes use inboard injectors (shown). Older one-piece integral throttle-bore designs had outboard nozzles. The new bolt-on throttle bodies have an internal air bleed (arrow) and require a straight-thread, O-ring-seal nozzle with a bleed hole on the threads located forward of the nozzle's sealing hex, not exposed to atmosphere (see photo top right).Be careful when buying used parts. The three hash marks (arrow) on this fuel pump mean that Hilborn had previously inspected the pump and determined it was beyond repair before sending it back to the original owner.There are countless intake variations-more than 120 different ones for a small-block Chevy alone. Fortunately, all have a serial number (arrow, location varies). Based on the serial, Hilborn can tell you what it fits; its intended application; the port, runner, and butterfly sizes; and what other parts (such as nozzle style) are needed to make it work. Other manufacturers keep similar records.
After correctly adjusting the centerlink, two pieces of gauging material (1/4-inch drill bits or Allen wrenches work well) should both have the same amount of drag.Metering valve adjustment: At WOT, the distance between the metering valve rotor and the opposite throttle shaft must be the same as the distance between the rod bearings on the adjustment link. This is generally achieved when the number on the metering valve rotor is on the left and the rotor's hex is vertical as shown.

We set the scene with an elegant night-before party, offering a glimpse into the historic Dartmouth to see the details that go into throwing the perfect fete.
Flip the pages and you'll find an inside look at the picturesque Hermitage Farm, the exclusive venue for the ultimate dream wedding, and our pick as the most romantic setting for that first special night as husband and wife, 21c Museum Hotel.
You may even find inspiration in the beautiful details of one Kentucky couple's destination wedding, set in the British West Indies but still sprinkled with the flavor of the bluegrass.
So pick up those glossy pages and start browsing! Whether you're already deep into planning a wedding or just looking for a kick-start into that indulgent obsession which we willingly enter, this is the place to find elegant ideas for fairytale beginnings. We hope you're ready to be inspired!

I am wondering how malware gets served through Javascript. I've noticed a few illegitimate pop-ups while visiting some financial websites. I wonder how malware exploits work against the application and what an application can do to at least inform it's users that the popup is not from the website, it's from the malware.
Drive-by downloads are typical malware vectors for JavaScript to get binaries onto a user's machine. The JS just starts a request of a malware binary that responds with
The JS can continue this even if the user cancels, effectively making the user's browser unusable (they may not know how to kill a process manually) and often attempts to make the download look like antivirus software.
Some proportion of users will accept the download just to get their browser back, and then the malware vendor just has to wait for the binary to be run.
The core problem with viruses and malware is that the OS confuses the current user with the programs they run. When I run Solitaire, that process has the ability to edit every file that I can from the command line or Windowing system. That should not be the case.
There's no reason why Solitaire or a screensaver that you download from the web needs access to your tax files, so you can use a combination of cues to figure out what privileges it needs
Other privileges can be similarly granted based on user designation or simple rules.
Most operating systems and applications were not written with this in mind, so systems like Polaris from HP labs shows how to allow apps to run with less than current-user permissions on Windows.
It's been difficult for browser and system makers to make their legitimate messages hard to counterfeit. Windows User Account Control is one of the best techniques because of how it interrupts every other program when it needs privileges to complete a task. Most browser and software pop-up messages are easily faked and you should be wary of them.
The attacker can use a vulnerability on the browser to execute the malware code on the client's computer. Most malware that I seen obscure their shell code using Base64 and compression inside a JS file or embedded into the HTML. Once the JS code is executed on the clients computer, it uses 'deflate' and 'eval' to execute whatever code is encoded on the string.
The malware takes advantage of a bug in the browser to execute shell code on the clients machine. Buffer overflows used to be quite common, but these days major browsers tend to be written with more care on that point. Use-after-free and double free are still pretty lively.
If you are getting multiple random pop-outs from legitimate website, this may be an indication that the computer is possibly infected with something. Make sure that your AV and Anti-Spyware solutions are up to date and running correctly. Also, check whats running on the computer using tools like process explorer and autoruns.

We want to recruit players for our regular table-top group, and have been debating where to look, to find non-players who would most likely be interested in playing and enjoy the experience.
Going through our list of hobbies and the people we share them with, we realized that most of them seem to contribute to and/or complement, in some significant way, the required skills for playing pen and paper table-top RPG games.
The list so far includes improv comedy, amateur theatre, video-game playing and creative writing. What are others that would fit the description?

Torrington Honda acquired by family that owns Northwest Hills dealerships
|Torrington Honda, seen here, has been purchased by the Sullivan family, which owns other dealerships in Torrington and Avon. Christopher Massa Republican-American
The Sullivan family has added another major car brand to its group of dealerships, purchasing Torrington Honda last month for an undisclosed amount, and has plans to relocate it closer to its other facilities on East Main Street.
The Sullivans purchased the Honda dealership at 45 Migeon Ave. on June 25 from the Curry family, which had owned it for more than 30 years.

For those of you who didn't jot it down last year...
½ cup (1 stick) butter
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup shortening
6 cups flour
2 cups sugar
6 tsp. baking powder
3 eggs
½ cup milk
1 tsp. salt
1 cup raisins or currants
1 tsp. nutmeg
Mix together butter, shortening, sugar, eggs and milk. Sift together and add dry ingredients. Add raisins and mix. (A heavy-duty mixer comes in handy for this; dough is stiff.) Roll out dough to about 1/8" and cut into circles. Bake as you would pancakes on a 400 degree electric griddle. Do not overbake; they don't take long to brown and overbaking makes them hard as a rock. Watch carefully and you will see them begin to puff up in about 1 ½ minutes and that means it's time to turn them. The second side will take only about 1 minute. They will be soft but as they cool on a rack they harden a little. Makes about 6 doz.

Universal Car Opening Lock Out Kit – 9 Piece Set for $14.99 + $2.99 (flat rate) shipping
coupon code: wootlock
Classier than a key, more stylish than a crowbar to the windshield.
41 Comments add a comment
I own one of these, if your car is American pre 1992? maybe yes.Otherwise take a rock to the small rear window sorry.
@markmc27: or just call AAA, cheaper than replacing a window.
@markmc27: Dang, there go my aspirations of an, ahem, "career change"
Should I be worried that the car they show looks exactly like mine?
All right!! I get this deal and a new car stereo! lol
Wow! The instruction manual includes instructions for unlocking your Ferrari, Lamborghini or Rolls Royce...
yet apparently, the manufacturer hasn't been able to figure out how to get past the TOP-notch security of Kia, Hyundai, Pontiac or Buick!
If a coat hanger won't get it....
My 96 and 97 vehicles were popped readily by the long looped plastic thing. I think those are pretty universally effective if you know what you're doing. Scary that you could totally make one with like no effort and easily available materials.
misdemeanors not included... :)
Do the instructions show you how to hotwire the ignition once you get inside the vehicle?
Depending on where you live these tools are possibly illegal. I know some of them are illegal where I live.
That's right, get your name in the paper for only $14.99. "Arrested for possession of criminal tools"
I used to use this all the time, bit more expensive but it will get you into any car, truck, 18 wheeler, yada yada...
It is worth mentioning that it will do no good if you keep it in the car, you know, cause most people seem to be away from home when they do this. It seems a little large to fit in a regular pocket. AAA does seem the better deal. My husband would love it anyway though, so, this is a good gift idea for those who love gadgets regardless of whether they are useful or not. Or hey, if you are passive aggressive and use it as a "gag" gift.
This is a great tool to keep in your car in case of an emergency. Just break in the back window, grab your tools, then pop the front lock. You'll be back in your car in no time.
You don't really have to jimmy anything down between the window and door and fish around for a lock rod... so much as you just have to find something to slip through the door seal to press the power lock button.
The only one that still works is the wire hanger thing that goes through the window, if you luckly enough to have it cracked. I use to keep a slim-jim under my car incase I locked myself out or needed for someone else.
...or keep a spare key at home.
I guess this doesn't help you if you are travelling out of town, but how often do people actually lock themselves out? I guess I am young, but I can't say I've ever locked my keys in. For how often it happens, I'll just pay.
This doesn't include the wedge and the tool to go inside the door. These are all for use down the inside of the door. WARNING: NOT to be used in cars with airbags in the door!!! If you short the airbag and discharge it, that shiny tool will be shot through your forehead! That's why you see AAA and police using the long rod inside the door frame now...
Just carry an extra key with you.
from the people who brought you the open-world action of "Grand Theft Auto: IV" comes the new closed-cell regret of "Grand Theft Auto: 6 to 10!"
@countdown: It also won't work if the keys you have in the locked car has your house key on it.
In for one!
In completely unrelated news I am now a car thief...
THE CAKE IS A LIE...and so is the $2.99 shipping. The wootlock coupon just enables $3.99 shipping for the entire order.
@mybestuser1: These aren't illegal to own, just illegal to have in your backpack next to your bolt cutters and crackpipe.
Easier to keep a spare key in my wallet. Rolfs wallets have a key holder.
All you need is a VIN number, a licensed dealer, and $50.
If you get one of these, everybody is going to ask you to unlock their doors, and when you scratch it, you are liable. The cops in my area don't even provide this service anymore because of that.
I have an app on my iphone that has all these tools
@eraten: depends where you live. slimjims/blackjacks are most definitely illegal to own where I live.
@tcayer: actually it comes with 2 wedges...
What if you're in your locked car and your keys are outside?
The deal was better when it included a free Ski Mask....
@markmc27: that is one of the most expensive windows to replace. Knock out the full sized one, you'll thank yourself later
What if you're in your car (2010 model) and lock your keys out of your car?
Would this kit help? Would a locksmith be better or maybe a doctor?
@blend23: well if your in your 2010 model car, you could just reach to your right/left and use the unlock button.
@droskie3000: Ok, but I want my keys to open it and they're not in the car.
Hmm, a set of mischief for $14.99, or simply go get a door key duplicated at the nearest hardware store for $5... I think I will take the lockout set. Now, if Woot would only sell a trench coat and a Ski mask combo
I need one of these....for science
The one and only time I'd have ever needed these was about 20 years ago, when I locked all my keys in my apartment. I found a wire coat hanger in the yard that I opened my car with, then took off the fanbelt and using that through the letterbox on the apartment door I was able to loop it round the knob and open the lock. Then I immediately went to a hardware store and bought a cage for the letterbox and a deadbolt so I and others would never be able to do that again...looking at the lock structure on my current car I don't think I'd be able to open it with these tools.
The tool on the far right will open almost any car with power locks. It works by going under the window, up into the car, and over to the arm rest where the unlock button is. If you happen to have a car with no door frame around the windows and isn't fancy enough to push the windows up into the roof when you close the door, you don't need any tools, you can shove a stick between the window and door and open the door with the interior door handle (Mercury Cougar is the poster child of anyone can get in your car).
@eraten: Where I live possession and use of these types of tools is for licensed locksmiths and law enforcement personnel. You can still buy them and use them but if a police officer finds out then you get charged with possession of burglary tools.

Tropical Storm Debby has weakened some in the early hours of Monday morning, but still remains a threat to portions of the Southeastern United States.
Still nearly stationary in the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Debby has lost a little of its punch.
The sustained winds in the storm have dropped from 60 miles per hour to a sustained 50 miles per hour. These winds can still down trees, especially in the soaked portions of Florida that have already received several inches of rain.
And, those areas could see more rain over the next 48 to 72 hours, at least. Some portions of northern Florida and the panhandle could see 10 to 15 inches, with some places seeing as much as 25 inches. That's over two feet!
Lesser totals are expected for Southern Alabama, but forecasters with the National Hurricane Center note that "given the recent heavy rainfall and wet soil conditions, these additional amounts will exacerbate the flash flood threat across portions of Northern Florida and Southern Alabama."
Tornadoes remain a threat as well, with many tornado warnings issued in Florida over the weekend. The main threat area for these tornadoes will be the eastern portions of the Florida panhandle and western and central parts of the Florida peninsula.
Weak steering currents mean that it's difficult to say when and where the storm will move. Forecasters expect very little movement over the next couple of days.

Has anyone got a nice solution for handling files in
We're running Name Based Virtual Hosts and the apache2 user is www-data.
We've got two regular users & root. So when messing with files in
/var/www ,rather than having to...
chown -R www-data:www-data
...all the time, what's a good way of handling this?
Supplementary question. How hardcore do you then go on permissions?
This one has always been a problem in collaborative development environments.

Discovering Langa – a photo essay
Skye Grove
Skye is a spontaneous traveller, a citizen of the world and is passionate about unlocking the stories of inspiring destinations like Cape Town. She believes in the power of content, loves street photography, anthropology, urban neighbourhoods and counts London's Shoreditch and Cape Town's city bowl as the two favourite places she has lived and worked in.
Langa, South Africa's oldest township, was established in Cape Town in 1923 as part of the then Urban Areas Act. Similar to Nyanga, Gugulethu and Khayelitsha, Langa is one of the areas in South Africa that was designated for Black Africans before the apartheid epoch. The name Langa means "sun" in Xhosa, but the name of the area is actually derived from the name Langalibalele – a famous chief who was imprisoned on Robben Island for rebelling against the government.
Langa can be reached off Exit 12 of the N2 highway out of Cape Town, and is also served by Langa railway station.

Without any Designated Players, the LA Galaxy ground out a 1-0 home win over the visiting Rapids.A Mike Magee penalty provided the only goal of the game as the LA Galaxy beat the Colorado Rapids 1-0.
The Rapids lost two players to injury by halftime. Captain Pablo Mastroeni left with a left quad strain in he the 27th minute. Then Diego Calderon chased down and cleared a Jose Villarreal lob off the line, but bruised his thigh on the post in the process.
A few minutes into the second half, Colorado lost another -- this time to a red card. Off the ball, Drew Moor struck Marcelo Sarvas in the face.
"It wasn't an elbow, it was a hand. He punched me," Sarvas said. "He lost his mind, for sure."
The referee ejected Moor and awarded a penalty, which Mike Magee dispatched. Magee leads MLS in scoring in 2013 with four goals.
Without Robbie Keane (international duty) or Landon Donovan (sabbatical), the Galaxy's young teenage strike force of Jose Villarreal and Jack McBean each took six shots as Los Angeles peppered Clint Irwin's goal, but didn't add another tally to the scoreline.

I want to install a package on a computer running Ubuntu Precise.
However, the provider of the package only "supports" Ubuntu up till Lucid. Newer versions are probably supported as well, but they stopped updating the repository. The newest repository available is

If I try to install the package from that repository I get this error, probably because of version issues:

Is there a general way for resolving this?

LA CROSSE Wis, (WEAU)- A UW-La Crosse professor is taking action trying to make the city more bike friendly.
Professor James Longhurst has been helping out the city create a bicycle and pedestrian master plan and hopes to have something set in place later this year.
The streets of today leave little to no room for bicyclists.
"A young girl, I think she was texting and she was going a little bit to the right. I was on the side so I had to stick my foot down and try to get my bike up on the curb as she went by," said bicyclist Aaron Young.
Adding more bicycle lanes would be appreciated.
"I'd like to see more lanes, especially on 3rd St. I'd like to see them down there on the one-ways," said Young.
The master plan would help guide the city in its development plans for the future.
"The Master Plan is a vision of what La Crosse citizens would like to see in 20-30-40 years. A good plan would be flexible for a future we can't really see," said Longhurst.
Longhurst would like to see the city change from being a silver designation for bicyclists to a gold one.
"A gold designation is a moving target because the entire nation is improving bicycle designation at the same time," said Longhurst.
According to Longhurst the recent popularity in biking is part of a 4th generation boom.
"The 1890's was one boom. WW2 during the automobile and gas rationing was another, and during the 1970's," said Longhurst.
A master plan wouldn't benefit just bicyclists but drivers as well.
"The worst thing you want as a driver is unpredictability. When you don't know when a bicycle will cross the road or a walker will cross the road. Having lanes makes them make more logical choices on the road and makes it safer for everyone," said Longhurst.

Things can get heated on the football field. That goes for game officials as well. Referee Tony Corrente's foul language was amplified by a live microphone Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
