My 5 year old pre-schooler exhibits some behaviors that have my wife & I a little concerned, but we're unsure whether there's a real problem or not.
I'll try to summarize some of his behaviors and/or personality traits (positive & negative), then go over some of it in a little more detail.
- Destructive behaviors
- note most of these behaviors occurred between ages 2 - 4; over the last year we've noticed a decline in his destructive tendencies, though he still peals stickers off things, and his toy breakage is roughly on par with his older brother at this age. Furthermore, as we've tried to understand the "why" of this, as best we can tell he does it out of pure curiosity.
- Peeling stickers, paint, & other decorations off his property, or off the wall in his room (peeling the paint off his room was one we've only recently arrested; he was regularly destroying the paint job in his room).
- Tearing pages out of books, and tearing other paper things (posters, calendars, etc); these are always his property, I've never seen him destroy someone else's property
- Breaking his own toys -- usually by playing rough; I don't recollect him destroying / breaking toys just because he was curious.
- Personality traits
- He does not have trouble bonding with people -- eg, he does not avoid physical contact (likes hugs/kisses from parents, sometimes hugs/kisses siblings), and enjoys hanging out with parents / siblings.
- He's very curious and talkative; loves to read, play video games, and especially loves cars and other vehicles (tractors, monster trucks, etc)
- He doesn't usually understand humor. He often mistakes playful situations for offensive behaviors.
- Punishments generally don't phase him, except to upset him; we learned a long time ago that taking things away, spankings, etc, do not encourage him to alter his behavior. Furthermore, his lack of interest in "things" (discussed below) negates the possibility of rewarding him with treats, toys, etc; however, rewards such as spending time with mom/dad, or doing other things do seem to motivate him more.
- He has a very high pain threshold; if someone hurts him (eg, rough-housing), he doesn't cry/scream [typically], he just gets angry.
- On a related note, there's one particular quirk I've noticed lately that concerns me. My wife and her [biological] brother have a 'tick': they pick at their thumbs to the point of bleeding/cracking. This behavior has been around since they were both young teenagers, and neither one can explain why they do it other than it being a nervous habit. So far as I know, my son has never observed this particular behavior, and now he's started doing it.
- He's always been very defiant about swallowing his food. When he decides he doesn't want to swallow something, he'll keep it in his mouth for hours if you let him.
- This defiance extends to other things as well; when he makes up his mind that he does not want to do something, he'll just clamp his mouth shut and ignore you.
- He does not form attachments to things. I'll talk about this more below.
- Our pediatrician suspects he may fall in the class of children with Opposition Defiance Disorder.
- He exhibits ADHD symptoms -- inability to focus / concentrate, etc.
The main thing I want to explore is his lack of concern w/regard to personal property. We're concerned it may grow into something more serious as he gets older.
Recently he got a "slot car" track for his birthday and destroyed it by playing too rough with it (within about a month or two). He helped throw it away without argument, and kept talking about something unrelated.
My wife was helping him organize his bedroom and purge it of old/unused and broken toys. He spoke fondly of many of the toys, but showed no interest in keeping them; it didn't seem to bother him that they'd be gone permanently.
It doesn't matter if it's something he plays with regularly, how long he's had it, who gave it to him, where he got it, etc. He's never attached himself to any one thing (eg, a security blanket). When I've taken things as punishment he'll make a show of being upset, get over it very quickly, and thereafter shows very little interest in getting it back.
He has had trouble getting along with his older brother the past few years, though they've been getting along better the last year or so (we tried having them share rooms a few years ago before they were clashing; we put a stop to that after they destroyed a room (pealed paint, peed on carpet, poop in heater vents, peed in radio, etc) and one of them bit the other). He gets along with his other siblings quite well (for a 5 year old).
In short, we're worried his behavior could grow to encompass more anti-social behaviors. My wife says it almost seems like he's less caring/emotional in general, and is worried he has (or may develop) a similar inability to place value on people or relationships.
What are we dealing with here? What can we do to help him? If he grows into an adult who doesn't particularly value 'things', but is an otherwise well-adjusted person, I'm ok with that. However, if there's something going on I can help him with, I don't want to let him down.

Hi everyone~I'm very glad to be here and to be one of YOU! Would you please amswer me,Are there any Sound/Music Design Conferences? And how can I participate them? Thanks in advance
School of Sound and AES are good ones. Select the ones that you want to attend to, depending on what you aim to get from it.
Are you looking after networking, meeting new people from industry? Or do you actually want to learn stuff?
Both will meet your expectations to some content, but I also suggest to attend conferences of other fields, such as video production or motion graphics. It creates a whole another level of networking opportunities, plus you get to know the expectations of a different profile of artists. This will help you understand your clients better. It did in my case.
Justin names good ones. I've been to both the School of Sound and AES, and both were great in their own right.
The School of Sound was super inspirational, while AES was fantastic in a more practical/grounded kind of way. AES was great for networking and checking out exhibitors and gear too.
Is this the Jeff McIlwain "L'usine"? If it is you, you do some nice work man.
Everyone else posted the obvious stuff related to your question. Other than that, this is the closest thing we have to a convention, and it's a lot better in most ways actually.
So I guess that just leaves me with: Nice to meet you and welcome aboard.
The audio day at the Develop Conference in Brighton (UK) is a good one, if you're based in Europe, and (aspire to) work in videogames.

Here is my contribution to Thanksgiving this year. It may look a bit complicated, but it really isn't that bad. Once everything is chopped and sliced and ready to go, the whole thing comes together pretty quickly. When I go back home for Thanksgiving I am usually responsible for providing the vegan entree (all the sides are made vegan), and this one seems perfect because it incorporates traditional Thanksgiving flavours but can be eaten alongside other holiday fare. The components really work well together, so try to get a bit of everything in each bite.
Apple Cranberry Chutney
- 2 tbsp margarine
- 4 Gala apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (or another cooking apple)
- 1/4 cup golden raisins (optional)
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2-4 tbsp apple cider
- 10 fresh sage leaves, chopped
1. Heat margarine over med-hi heat. Add apples and cook for 5 mins, stirring regularly. Add raisins and cranberries and cook for 3 mins.
2. Add maple syrup and mix well, then add 2 tbsp of cider. Cook until cranberries burst and apples are soft but still have some texture. Add more cider, if needed. It should be moist but not runny. Lower the heat and let simmer while you prep the other components of the dish.
3. When ready to assemble the dish, mix in the sage leaves and remove from heat.
- 2 slices sourdough bread (or so. You will need 1.5 cups of cubed bread when you are done)
- 2 tbsp margarine
- 1 leek, white and light green part, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp apple cider
- 1 tsp thyme
- 4 cups packed baby spinach
- salt and pepper
Turn oven on to 300 degrees
1. Heat a frying pan over med to med-hi heat. Lightly butter (margarine?) the sourdough bread on both sides and fry both sides for 2-3 mins, until golden. Remove from pan and cut into 1/4" cubes. Measure out 1.5 cups and put into a bowl.
2. Put the pan back on the stove over medium heat. Add the 2 tbsp of margarine, and when melted add leeks and garlic. Fry for about 5 mins, until leeks are translucent but not too brown. Reduce heat if needed.
3. Add cider and thyme and mix well. Add spinach and cook until wilted but still a vibrant green. Season with salt and pepper then add to the bread cubes. Mix well. Put in an oven proof container and keep warm in the oven.
Maple-Apple Cider Tofu
- 2 tbsp margarine
- 1 pkg firm or extra firm tofu
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp apple cider
- salt and pepper
1. Cut the tofu in half vertically, then cut each half into 5 thin slices. Use a 2.5" biscuit cutter to cut out 10 rounds. (The size of your rounds may vary, but since my tofu block is roughly 5 x 2.5 this worked out perfectly).
2. While you are cutting the tofu, heat a frying pan on the stove over med-hi heat. Add margarine and swirl pan to melt, then add tofu circles. Fry for 3-5 mins, only on one side, until a nice golden brown.
3. Add maple syrup to the pan and swirl/shake to distribute. Flip tofu over and swirl/shake again. Season lightly with salt, and a some freshly ground pepper. Add cider to the pan and swirl/shake to distribute. Flip tofu over (i.e. fried side is now back down, and season with salt and pepper. Let reduce for a minute or so, then remove from heat.
This dish relies on a biscuit cutter (or metal ring) that is 2.5" in diameter, and 1.5" tall. Place one tofu circle on a plate, fried side down. Place ring over the tofu, then pack in stuffing, compressing the stuffing down with a spoon. Carefully remove ring, then top with another tofu circle, fried side up. Top that with a generous spoonful of chutney.
The chutney recipe makes plenty, so serve more on the side.

this year will be my first Thanksgiving as a vegetarian. My mother believes there are very few things other than salad that I can eat. I would love to make this as my contribution to Thanksgiving dinner and hopefully open her eyes a bit.
Actually, I'd like to make it for dinner this weekend too :)

I made this for a big thanksgiving brunch, layering everything casserole style. It was delicious, and very filling. There were a few moments when the maple syrup and apple juice caramelized around the ground pepper, making me a very happy vegan indeed. Thanks Vegan Dad!

I made this dish the other night and it was AMAZING!!! It was a trial run for thanksgiving and I cannot wait to have it again. The maple glaze tofu just became my favorite way to prepare tofu and I am going to be serving it at a vegetarian/vegan class I am hosting later this month. Thanks for the recipes and keep them coming!

This may sound like a silly question, but do you press the tofu first? I usually press it before I do just about anything with it, but wanted to double check.

could you clarify your tofu cutting technique? i typically use american water-packed rectangles and i can't seem to understand how you are supposed to cut the tofu to allow for 2.5" rounds. does anyone have any advice?

The wheel bearings fit into the very centre of the front and rear wheels of current model (manufactured from late-2009 onwards) Mountain Buggy strollers.
Not currently available in this region.
Take a look at the wheel on your buggy to identify which type of bearing to order. The wheel bearing you receive may not match the existing bearing on your wheel (we are no longer manufacturing black bearings) - rest assured you will receive what you need if you order correctly! If you are ordering a bearing for your front wheel, ignore the brake cog pictured in the images supplied, these images are of rear wheels and will look different to your front wheel although the bearings are the same.
Bearings are sold individually. Each wheel holds two bearings, if you need to replace both you will need to order two.

USCCB fails to approve "pastoral message" on the economy.
After a long discussion, which I'll write up later, the document failed to receive the two-thirds majority support required for its passage. If fourteen more bishops had voted yes, the statement would have passed. More later.

Glad to know that the bishops did not approve the pastoral message on the economy. After all, it would look rather hypocritical and lacking in empathy, since the USCCB June meeting in 2013 will be held in a resort in Coronada, in the Diocese of San Diego.
Can it be that the silent minority during these past four years and particularly during this past election season has found its voice?
That eighty-five bishops voted against the document may (that is, may) be an indication of a significant number of bishops being uneasy with communal and individual stances taken by members of the conference during the election cycle. And significant voices among the retired bishops, the "seniores," such as Archbishop Fiorenza, a former president of the conference, also spoke in opposition, though they have no vote.
I typed, as always slowly and erratically, before seeing Helen's comment. Sorry for the duplication.
Does the proposed statement die now, or does it just go back to committee for further work?Did the more outspoken and supposedly "prophetic" bishops vote for approving the statement, or against approving it?Of the bishops who voted against approving it, is there any reason to suppose that they have been among the supposedly "silent" bishops who apparently had reservations about the recent public activism of certain "prophetic" bishops?
Isn't every bishop sovereign in his own diocese? Why can't each one issue his own document on the economy? That way, there's no need for an individual shepherd to sign and seal a statement that overstates or understates his own views.
Yay, 85 bishops!
Give credit where credit is due. Change the headline. USCCB SUCCEEDS! in rejecting pastoral message on the economy.
Hey, Jack -- you been reading Lakoff? He's right, of course. Language influences mightily.
85 dissenting bishops is, at best, a weak number: less than 20%.According to the Official Catholic Directory, as of Jan. 1, 2010, there are 390 bishops and 59 archbishops. (I made a quick search and didn't bother to find any newer stats.)There are 456 currently active and retired Catholic bishops in the United States: 271 active bishops:4 Cardinal Archbishops27 Archbishops153 Diocesan Bishops 75 Auxiliary Bishops12 Apostolic or Diocesan Administrators185 retired bishops:11 retired Cardinal Archbishops25 retired Archbishops101 retired Diocesan Bishops48 retired Auxiliary Bishops
Jim McC == Retired bishops may speak, but they can't vote. So it's 85 out of 271 or so, which is significant.
The vote was 134 to 85.That failed to achieve the two-thirds majority of those present and voting (219) by 14. All of those voting, as Ann Olivier has pointed out, are active, not retired, bishops. For serious reasons some bishops are either not present at the meeting or were not present for this particular vote. Given the number of active bishops, 100% attendance is all but unheard of. The numbers tend to be even lower at the June meeting.
Helen, I was hoping that there might be one or two episcopal voices of disquiet over the site for the June meeting. But there were none. In the 1980s June meetings were held at such places as Notre Dame and St. John's, Collegeville.
Correction: CoronadoI think there were some abstentions. According to Rocco Palmo, +Morlino is in the hospital. Just talked with +Morlino in hospital -- he sounds himself and is keeping the usual very keen eye on things. Keep prayers up.Wonder if he could have had an absentee ballot.
Ann: I stand corrected. I would have been nice, however, if more than 30% of the actives had spoken up and out. Silent bishops are complicit bishops.Tacitus consensus pares is a position that is a far cry from Nunquam stercus.When it comes to way to many bishops I'm afraid it is a case of "Blessed are those from whom you expect nothing: you shall not be disappointed."
There were 228 votes (about the usual number of attendees), with 134 yea, 85 nay, and 9 abstentions. A number of conservative bishops also spoke against the document because they don't think the bishops should speak on these issues and they think that curing social ills like poverty is a matter of private charity, not government programs. My distinct sense was that a supermajority of the bishops did not like the document, but that in the end many wanted to salvage something or just save face and produce something, no matter how distasteful. Hence the 134 votes. It was a no-win situation: if they had adopted such a poor document, that would have been critiqued, and if they did nothing, as they wound up, it looks bad. Moreover, it is four years after the recession began. The question is why they weren't working on something four years ago. Why did they have to rush something out now?The document is dead, says Dolan. (He was not a happy camper.) It would take a couple years to produce anything else, and Dolan doesn't want the executive committee taking this on and becoming a target. The bottom line is the USCCB is so split that they just can't produce anything of consequence on complex issues.
David G. --It's split, but that's an improvement. Maybe some are learning to speak truth to power. Archb. Dolan is out next year. Wonder who will replace him. Will that be decided at this session or in June or when? He's not the worst, but I find him to be rash and sometimes intemperate in his public comments. Must say his speech at the beginning of this meeting showed a lot of humility. Now if only he'd figure out that what they need now besides humility are consequences for bad leadership. Bill deHaas' recent suggestions about such consequences were very good ones, I think.
"The bottom line is the USCCB is so split that they just cant produce anything of consequence on complex issues."I don't want to sound disingenuous, but why can't they just take direction from the Vatican and from what various Popes have written about economic justice? They seem to be able to follow the Vatican's lead on something as controversial as artificial contraception, so why not on something much more settled, an issue the Gospels actually speak to, our obligation to the poor?I am myself a proud cafeteria Catholic, but I didn't think that was an option for clergy.
One illuminating exchange on the "pastoral message on work, poverty, and the _economy_": Ret. Aux. Bishop Rosazza of Hartford "asked whether the drafting committee had consulted with an economist, which he said was one of the recommendations of the bishops in June. [Chair of drafting committee Abp.] Vigneron answered that they had not." http://ncronline.org/node/39201 An introductory paragraph explaining their drafting methodology might have preempted the need for detailed discussion.
why cant they just take direction from the Vatican and from what various Popes have written about economic justice?For that reason, why issue any statement at all beyond saying "everyone read Caritas in Veritate, etc."? Most of the documents the bishops' conference have issued have been wholly superfluous at best and an ill-advised use of their time given the six or seven people in the country who actually read the documents they pass.
"Isnt every bishop sovereign in his own diocese? Why cant each one issue his own document on the economy?"They could, and perhaps some have. But part of the theology of the bishop is that each has responsibility, not just for his own diocese, but for the universal church; and that they are part of a body, a college. There is also scope: there is no bishop of the United States, so there is no single bishop who can speak for the country as a whole. The conference needs to speak on matters of national importance.As a practical matter, it seems to me that when the bishops do manage to muster a consensus, their documents are almost always better than what individual bishops come up with on their own. Case in point: compare "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship" to the various statements about politics and citizenship that have been looked at here on dotCom.
I will give a hint on a new economic letter."Just 4.6% tax increase on the rich will get the USA community past the cliff and get the rich through the eye of the needle. Look it up"
What Jim Pauwels said at 6:33pm. Also, the Vatican and the Pope talk in much more general terms that bishops should then adapt and interpret for their own situations. A little subsidiarity, ya know? Also bishops are to demonstrate communion, model it, and so it is good when they act in concert with and for the Church. So say I...
Back when the US bishops were preparing their pastoral letter on the US economy, I began a course on "The Church and Social Justice" with the sentence, "The US bishops are preparing a pastoral letter on the US economy." A student stuck his hand up and exclaimed: "What the hell do bishops know about economics?" A good question, though implying not only that they were unlikely to know economics, but also that it really wasn't their province to make pronouncements about it. If Bishop Rosazza wanted them to consult an economist (only one?), how were they to choose him? If they consulted more than one, how would they choose which analysis was to be preferred? There are serious methodological questions to be addressed if the bishops wish to give anything more than general principles. E.g., the appeal to the principle of subsidiarity: this says that smaller instances are to be left the freedom to deal with problems unless it becomes clear that they can't deal with them properly or effectively, when it is appropriate for a larger instance to intervene. But the principle itself gives no guidance or criteria for deciding when this moment is reached, nor about which larger instance is to intervene nor about how it is to intervene.For myself, I think that the most effective way for the Church to have an influence on the economic life of the country is for knowledgeable Catholic lay people to involve themselves in economic questions, to think the issues out in the light of faith and on the basis of real expertise. How to deal with economic problems is the province of the laity, not the clergy, and I say this as a member of the clergy who would have no expectation, were he suddenly and involuntarily promoted beyond his present status, that he would receive with episcopal ordination a sudden infusion of knowledge about economic realities. It is not by bishops putting out pastoral letters that the Church will have an influence on the US economy.
It seems to me that there are times when the bishops can and should speak to the needs of a country. (Consider the German bishops when Hitler rose to power and they didn't speak out as a group!) Surely the Vatican can't handle the whole world in any amount of specificity. The Vatican's province is general moral pricinples, but their application -- by the very principle of subsidiarity -- should generally be handled by the bishops of a country. If they don't know economics, well then, by damn, they should be taught it somewhere along the line. Maybe graduate schools for the more able prospects should be established, sort of like the U. S. War College that educates promising officers beyond West Point.. And if they can't understand what they need to understand, they shouldn't be bishops.Of course the laity and the lower clergy should be involved. This, I think, it the big flaw with the present system -- they aren't. The bishops are expected to know it all, and so they act like know-it-alls. Were there such a complex group there would no doubt be differences of opinion within the group, but minority reports could be a possibility when prudential judgments have to be made. There should at least be consulting bodies of laity and lower clergy who would have an automatic right to be heard by the bishops' group.
"If fourteen more bishops had voted yes, the statement would have passed."What is the purpose of this sentence?
What is the purpose of your question?
Obviously, Ann, to understand the purpose of the sentence. Do you understand its purpose?
@Mark Proska (11/14, 7:03 am) I don't know what the purpose of the sentence was. I interpreted it as simply a journalistic way of giving readers a sense of scale, a sense of how closely (or not) the statement came to getting the support it needed to be adopted by the USCCB.
Independently of the subject of discussion, I am happy that there is an expression of non-uniformity among US bishops. There is more of a chance for ideas to arise and be heard.
Luke--Thanks, but I still don't have a context for the scale, do you? Is 14 a lot? A little? My sense is some point was being made, but I have no idea what it was.
@Mark Proska (11/14, 10:07 am) I think the context you're looking for is provided above by Jim McCrea (11/13, 3:08 pm), Ann Olivier (11/13, 3:25 pm), and John Page (11/13, 4:06 pm).
"For myself, I think that the most effective way for the Church to have an influence on the economic life of the country is for knowledgeable Catholic lay people to involve themselves in economic questions, to think the issues out in the light of faith and on the basis of real expertise. How to deal with economic problems is the province of the laity, not the clergy"I agree. Bishops and clergy, and Catholic universities, can contribute by helping to form those knowledgeable Catholic lay people in Catholic social and moral teaching.
If I recall correctly, there was polling data in the 1980s that at least suggested (and may have demonstrated) that the USCCB's pastoral letters "The Challenge of Peace" and "Economic Justice For All" had a measurable impact on the views of American Catholics. In other words, those letters worked. They helped form the consciences and actions of American Catholics on issues related to war and peace, and the economy respectively.I'd suggest that was due in no small part to the way in which those letters were written. The conference of bishops voted to write a pastoral letter, appointed a committee, and gave it both staff and a budget. The committee then solicited testimony and advice from experts across a wide range of disciplines and experiences. Draft documents were presented to the full conference for feedback, debate, discussion and advice. All along the way, the process was publicized and input was solicited (and received!) from a broad array of Catholics and non-Catholics. When the letters were finally approved (by overwhelming majorities), they were used in the following years as teaching and reference tools throughout the Church and in the wider society.The lesson I take from this history is that there are no shortcuts for a bishops' conference that wants to act powerfully, both within the Church and in the wider society. The slow, hard, painstaking work of building relationships, researching an issue, and negotiating a broad consensus among themselves and with the wider Church is a necessary part of the process.
Luke--Thanks, but no, not really.

Cluster technology seems obvious, but if a server can really reboot while the cluster is in use, I have a couple of questions:
- Which database products can do this?
- How does it work? Does it store the database data on all servers simultaneously, or is one server's tasks transferred to another while it is rebooting?
- How does it affect performance, especially latency of queries?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
At the risk of being boring, the Bartenura Moscato ("blue bottle") is usually well-received. Mevushal. Easy to find at most kosher wine places these days.
For those who prefer something Israeli, there's the Carmel analogue (yes mevushal) of the "blue bottle", and the Gamla (non-mevushal).
If you like the idea of a decent wine (cabernet, etc.) but find them a touch too dry, try Herzog's Jeunesse (a semi-dry, usually too sweet for real dry wine drinkers). $10-12 a bottle.
I enjoy white Zinfandel. It comes in a nice pink shade, and it's got just enough sweetness to pull out of being truly dry.
Baron Herzog makes it in California, and Carmel makes it in Israel. It looks like they can be found for under $10 and under $15, respectively.

Orchids are one of the flower species that I think so pretty and vibrant. I uploaded a lesson in the past on one of these flowers and in the description I mentioned how you can buy single orchids that look like the image in the tut at Home Depot or any other hardware store that sells flowers. Anyways, drawing an orchid for kids should be pretty fun because drawing flowers usually is. I will be back a little bit later with more lessons for you all so stay tuned in.

If I'm given a division algebra D with Z(D)=F, then how can I view Dx as an algebraic group defined over F? I'd like to see first how Dx can be given the structure of a variety defined over F, and then to see how the group law on Dx is defined over F.
Choose an F-basis of D. The multiplication is described by certain quadratic functions, with respect to this basis; D* is given by the nonvanishing of a polynomial function (the norm). So the multiplication can be understood as defining an algebraic group structure on the complement of a hypersurface in an affine space.
Suppose D splits over a finite extension K/F, i.e., the tensor product of D with K over F is isomorphic to Mn(K). Then Dx is the group of F-points of an algebraic group over F that exists as a direct factor (along with all other F-division algebras that split over K, and GLn,F) in the restriction of scalars ResKF GLn,K.
I don't know an explicit presentation in general (say, starting from a Brauer class), although if K/F is a cyclic Galois extension, there is a nice cyclic algebra construction. I think more details can be found in Serre's Local Fields and Cornell-Silverman.

List all BPM Processes for a user
By Kavitha Srinivasan on Apr 12, 2012
Happy to start contributing to this blog..
The title of the blog is probably deceptively simple and warrants an elaboration.
Customized BPM workspaces/user interfaces are a fairly common requirement. One of our marquee customers in the online stock trading business, envisioned this user interaction for their BPM application:
- User logs in to the internal portal
- Use will have list of roles which he is granted as a drop down list
- Once user selects the role, a list of processes which user is part of appear. Logged in user can be part of any swimlane role of the process
- Intialize workflow/BPM context as usual
- Get a handle on InstanceQueryService(getInstanceQueryService), InstanceManagementService, ProcessMetadataService and ProcessModelService
- List all Processes for that bpmcontext (listProcessMetadataSumary) and get Granted roles to that user
- For each of the processes [method getAccessibleProcesss(ProcessMetadataSummary, Set)]for each of the lanes in the process, check if the role granted to the user, matches the roleName for that swimlane. If so, add to output.
- The usual caveats apply including BPM APIs are subject to change.
- JDeveloper method introspection is your better friend than API documentation :-)...
(I am going to try upload the source code and if it doesnt work, will follow this blog up with the corresponding source code.)
Hope this helps.

I'm developing an encryption software based on SEAL algorihm for my research. I found the paper in here
My Question is what is the meaning of $$ H_{i \operatorname{mod} 5}^i $$ in page 5?
Thanks in advance.
I'm developing an encryption software based on SEAL algorihm for my research. I found the paper in here
My Question is what is the meaning of $$ H_{i \operatorname{mod} 5}^i $$ in page 5?
Thanks in advance.
I had a look at the paper. To really understand it, we need to read the surrounding two paragraphs:
So to find $\Gamma_a(i) = H^i_{i\,\bmod\,5}$, we will calculate $j = \lfloor i/5 \rfloor$ (the integer part of the quotient of $i$ and $5$) and then $i \bmod 5$ (the remainder of this same division operation), calculate $G_a(j)$, split it in five $32$-bit blocks, and use $i \bmod 5$ to select the right one of them.
I think the following way of defining $\Gamma$ would be clearer:
The entire $H^i_{i\;\bmod\;5}$ notation seems confusing and non-standard, and doesn't seem to be used anywhere else in the main body of the paper. (Appendix A uses a somewhat similar but less confusing notation, omitting the upper indices.) If I were to rewrite the article, I'd just leave it out entirely, and simply define $\Gamma_a$ as a function mapping integers to 32-bit strings, such that $$G_a(j) = \Gamma_a(5j)\;\|\;\Gamma_a(5j+1)\;\|\;\Gamma_a(5j+2)\;\|\;\Gamma_a(5j+3)\;\|\;\Gamma_a(5j+4)$$ for all integers $j$.
Alternatively, if we were to introduce some kind of bit-slicing notation, such that e.g. $S_{i .. j}$ stood for the bitstring formed by the $i$-th to $j$-th bits of $S$, then we could define $\Gamma_a$ directly as $$\Gamma_a(i) = G_a(\lfloor i/5 \rfloor)_{32(i\;\bmod\;5)\,..\,32(i\;\bmod\;5)+31}$$
In any case, I'd suggest ignoring the $H$ notation completely. The underlying concept it's meant to define is simple enough: we take each 160-bit block $G_a(j)$ and split it into five 32-bit blocks called $\Gamma_a(5j)$ to $\Gamma_a(5j+4)$. That's all there is to it.
I think I've got the answer.. $$ H_{i \operatorname{mod} 5}^i $$ That function means that $$H_i$$ is assigned by $$H_{i{mod} 5}$$

Mickey Johnson, our wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend, got his wish to be at home surrounded by his family as he attained his Victory in Jesus. Mickey stepped into Heaven on Jan. 30, 2013. He left this earth as he had lived his life, making his family laugh, trying to help them and assuring them over and over of his love. He taught us how to live well, and, at the end, how to die well.
Mickey Johnson was born on Feb. 6, 1944, in Blytheville to Raymond and Thelma Johnson. He grew up playing basketball in the neighborhood and thought he had the greatest childhood a boy could have. He was a basketball star in high school and continued using his talents as a star in college. He later coached in Fort Smith at Northside, Kimmons, Chaffin and Southside, winning many games and awards along the way. He also coached at UCA in Conway and was recently inducted into its Sports Hall of Fame. He finished his career in education as an administrator at Southside High School.
Mickey loved his work, but his greatest loves were God, his family, his friends and the great outdoors. He took anyone he could, especially his grandchildren, along with him to the lake, the woods, the ballpark or anywhere that he could show them some fun. Then, those people became part of the stories that he regaled us all with anytime he was given a chance. He was one of a kind.
Mickey leaves behind, to join him later, his wife of 46 years, Donna; his daughter, Wendy Taylor and husband Chris; his daughter, Jill Rowland and husband Steve; and seven grandchildren, Caleb Taylor, Nathan Taylor, Anna Kate Taylor, Grace Ann Rothwell, Joe Rothwell, Jack Rowland and Connor Rowland. We will miss him so. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Mickey's service will be 10 a.m. Tuesday at First Baptist Church in Fort Smith with burial at Oak Cemetery in Fort Smith under the direction of Edwards Funeral Home.
The family will visit with friends from 5-7 p.m. today at Edwards Funeral Home, 201 N. 12th St., Fort Smith.
The pallbearers will be four of his longtime buddies who he grew up with in Blytheville: Bobby Renfro, Richard Oates, Gene Atkinson and Nathan Austin, and Steve Rowland and Dave Dixon from Fort Smith.
In lieu of flowers, please send memorial contributions to Peachtree Hospice.

First Trimester 2nd Trimester 3rd Trimester
261 days to go...
What's happening inside
This is an embryo at the blastocyst stage, five days after fertilization. It is seen hatching from the shell that originally surrounded the unfertilized egg. At this stage, the blastocyst has moved into the uterus and is preparing to implant.
While playing the waiting game, you may want to consider how you'd feel if there are two fertilized embryos waiting to implant!
Have you conceived, and might it be twins? Twins can be nonidentical or identical and each type of twins is conceived differently.
Nonidentical (dizygotic) twins are the result of two separate eggs being fertilized by separate sperm. They may also occur as a result of IVF if two embryos are placed in the uterus.
Identical (monozygotic) twins occur when a single egg is fertilized by a single sperm and divides into two embryos. This split can occur at any stage up to nine days after fertilization and its timing is critical to the way the placenta(s) and amniotic sac(s) are formed. If the zygote (see You are 2 Weeks and 3 Days) splits within the first three days, two separate placentas and amniotic sacs develop. If the split occurs at blastocyst stage, four to nine days after fertilization, the fetuses will share a placenta but have separate sacs; when the split occurs after day nine, the fetuses will share a placenta and a sac.
Having nonidentical (fraternal) twins, which come from two separate fertilized eggs, depends a lot on family history. It's often said that twins skip a generation, which isn't quite true. In fact, your chances of having twins are simply higher if you have a close relative with twins, but twins never become inevitable, however many members of your family have them.
Family history is most relevant with nonidentical twins, and when the twins are on the mother's side. This makes sense because this kind of twin relies on a woman releasing two eggs in any one cycle, which may be hereditary. However, for reasons that aren't clear, a family history of twins on the father's side can be important too. It may be that the male of the species can carry a gene which makes his daughter release more than one egg at a time when she ovulates.
The lost twin
Twin conceptions may be more common than they appear. Without knowing it, some women miscarry one twin in early pregnancy. It is sometimes possible to have symptoms of a miscarriage, yet, confusingly, the pregnancy then appears to continue until term, culminating in the birth of a completely normal singleton baby.
Nobody is quite sure how often this happens, or why. While one in every 31 births in the US today is a twin birth, research using scans in very early pregnancy suggests that at conception the figure is much higher. Some experts believe that 15 percent of all births may start off as twins. Their loss could simply be nature's way of dealing with imperfections.
As A Matter Of Fact
The odds of having identical twins are about 3.5 in 1000.
Some estimate that the chances of having twins after fertility-enhancing treatment is as high as 1 in 38.

6 Obnoxious Innovations That Will Be in Your Car (Soon)
Cars have come a long way since the days when they ran on four hooves and were called "horses." Since then, we've innovated the electric motor, fuel injection and decorative rubber scrotums. What could possibly be left?
Unfortunately, as you'll soon find out, quite a bit. A whole lot of computerized wizardry is coming to your car, and some of it will make your life a living hell.
#6. Car Ringtones
The Innovation:
For every new technology, there's some busybody utterly terrified it'll commit mass murder. There were probably people campaigning against the dangerous, untested Segway. So leave it to these safety advocates to insist that hybrids, with their wussy quiet engines, need to have some sort of warning sound to alert pedestrians and blind people when they're coming.
Really? Are we crazy, or do regular cars not make all that much noise right now? It's not like everybody's growling down the street in a Harley these days.
How It'll Ruin Your Life:
The "warning sound," as it turns out, isn't going to stop with a fake "vroom." Oh, no, that would be far too limiting in a world where everybody has replaced their cell phone ring with T-Pain. People need to express themselves. So, you'll get cars like the DiMora Natalia, which has an MP3-enabled horn. Yes, the day has arrived when you can toot some Lady GaGa at the guy who just cut you off. Take that, asshole!
Of course, this needlessly complicates the primary function of the horn: Warning people you're about to kill. In a few years, driving on the highway will mean you're being subjected to, at best, hipsters blasting classic Simpsons sound bites at you, and at worst, sixty year-olds trying to warn you they're about to plow into you at 100 MPH IF YOU DON'T GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY by inadvertently pressing the button that plays a Kenny G sax solo that was engineered by 80s music producers to be the opposite of alarming. We're almost certain you're not allowed into heaven if the last thing you hear before dying is "Songbird."
#5. OLED Rearview Mirrors
The Innovation:
The rear-view mirror is so BORING. All it does is tell you what cars are behind you and if the T-Rex closing in is closer than it appears. So carmakers want to fix that with an OLED overlay on the rearview mirror that would tell you your direction, how fast you're going, how close the vehicles behind you are, how fast they're going and how many bullets you have left in your rear-mounted machine guns (that'll be a feature too, right?).
Image via engadget
How It'll Ruin Your Life:
Fun fact: "distracted driving," where you lose focus on the road for only a couple of seconds, causes 1.5-million crashes a year.
In other words, just looking at a cute puppy for a moment means you might be flattening its mommy a second later, you horrible bastard. And your car already has about eighty million things you might need to look at, on top of the fact that most of you probably use your cell phone in the car and don't have a hands-free device and are constantly glancing over at a Garmin suction-cupped to the windshield.
So what does the driver surrounded by all these distractions need? Why, a blinking rear-view mirror streaming all kinds of factoids it thinks you need to know! And another mirror that you can see in the car in front of you, particularly at night. Just last week we wound up following an SUV around town for an hour because we got engrossed in the movie playing in its headrests.It'll be even harder to ignore their rearview HUD when we can see that it's announcing that the guy behind it is driving like an asshole.
Well, shit, with all these blinking screens and hundreds of automotive ringtones blurting out sound clips in traffic, how are they going to make sure drivers are focusing on the road at all?
#4. Computers That Bitch About Your Driving
The Innovation:
There is already a crapload of computers in your car doing everything from checking out your engine to changing the radio station when you yell loudly enough. We're pretty sure there's a hack to get OnStar to compliment your prowess as a lover.
But Toshiba wants to take it one step further and turn that sensuous voice into the backseat driver from Hell.
How It'll Ruin Your Life:
Toshiba's computer would look at your face and make sure you're paying attention to the road, and only the road, no matter what. It uses blink detection to see if you're falling asleep, which is all well and good until you get something caught in your eye, and your car will start shrieking at you like the mother-in-law character from a 50s cartoon.
Even better, a "feature" of the software is an ability to steer the car based on your eye direction, ensuring you'll spend the rest of your life in jail for vehicular manslaughter after that morning you were driving along and suddenly noticed the women's volleyball team was out for a jog.
It gets worse. Consider the Safe Driving Monitor which can be hooked up to your car so it can point out your every crappy driving habit. Even better, it will digitally publish all your mistakes on your LCD keychain.
Thanks, car! Why don't you just fucking drive yourself? Oh, wait...

Santarcangelo Calcio, September 2024 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 U.S Cittá di Palermo (Serie A TIM)
Our first game back in the top flight and we got off to a great start when debutant Paolo Sarzi fired low into the corner of the net. However, the referees were indeed against us, as in the 95th minute, a full 3 minutes after the added on time had expired, a free-kick was slung in and headed home to deny us the win.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 Udinese Calcio (Serie A TIM)
Paolo Sarzi was flashed a straight red for a two footed tackle on 29 minutes, but we held out untl the 77th minute before they headed home from a corner to hand us the loss
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 Ekranas (UEFA Europa League, Group J)
A depressing match, which showed us we have a LOT to do to stay at this level regularly. Their 5' 10" midfielder got the better of my 5' 3" right back and his looping header just beat my 6' keeper who was in for a tired 6' 2" regular. On inches, are such things decided.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 Cesena (Serie A TIM)
Carlo Alberto Vinci was our hero in this one. The backup striker got on the end of a great through ball to give us our first win this season in the league.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 2 S.S Lazio (Serie A TIM)
Two minutes cost us in this. First, we conceded a soft penalty on 38 minutes which was duly converted, then Mirco Doria palmed a fierce shot into his own net while attempting the save two minutes later. Another own goal, this time for us, gave some hope, but we couldn't finish.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 U.C Sampdoria (Serie A TIM)
Paolo Sarzi was back for this game after his suspension and his two goals gave us the great win.
Chuffed to bits this thread is still going. Even happier to see you in the top flight!!
I've just purchased FM12, so I'm going to have a little play around tonight, and start a new Italian thread in the next few days.
More upgrades..
Santarcangelo Calcio, October 2024 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 Fenerbahçe S.K (UEFA Europa League, Group J)
Sergio Corallo scored what was to be the winner on 13 minutes, breaking through and slotting home into the corner.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 AC Milan (Serie A TIM)
Oh FFS. We lost Sergio Corallo for 2 months and lost to an acutely angled goal that Doria really should have had.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 2 Torino F.C (Serie A TIM)
Another frustrating match. We went 0-1 down, but equalised just before half time through Paolo Sarzi. Slim Saidi then scored his first for the club later on in the second and, bar 2 minutes of stoppage, we had another 3 points. However, on 94 minutes, their striker acrobatically hooked home a dramatic equaliser..
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 Rubin Kazan (UEFA Europa League, Group J)
This was a good result against a much better side.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Fiorentina (Serie A TIM)
This game was wild. We went 0-1 down with 10 minutes to go in the first, then lost Simone Pettinari to a second yellow card in first half ET. Carlo Alberto Vinci netted an unlikely equaliser two minutes after the restart and, although we lost Amedeo Del Nevo to a straight red for two feet, we held on for a hard-fought draw.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 6 ChievoVerona (Serie A TIM)
This game was my worst result ever as Santarcangelo manager. They scored 6 goals on 8 shots and, to compound matters, Davide Ranieri was dismissed in the last minute for a second yellow after conceding their penalty. Oddly enough he still finished the game with a 7.1 rating.. .
Brilliant start to the month, but a rather depressing finish. Where does that leave you in the tables? You look like a strong chance for the next round in the Europa League.
Santarcangelo Calcio, November 2024 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 Parma (Serie A TIM)
We held our own well until the 85th minute when a shot on the turn from the edge of the area found the top corner.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 Rubin Kazan (UEFA Europa League, Group J)
Another decent result against the Russians, leaving us in a decent position to qualify.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Atalanta (Serie A TIM)
We lost full back Simone Pettinari to a straight red and also conceded an OG within 10 mins. Luckily, Matteo Colombi's blast, just after HT, gave us a point.
Santarcangelo Calcio 4 - 0 Varese (Serie A TIM)
We recovered to rout Varese 4-0. Carlo Alberto Vinco, Paolo Sarzi, Francesco Valentini and Amedeo Del Nevo all combined to give the team a big lift with the three points..
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 2 Cagliari (Serie A TIM)
Ugh. We were dire. Not even the sub appearance of a returning Sergio Corallo could lift us.
Santarcangelo Calcio e3 - 1 Novara AET (TIM Coppa Italia Fourth Qualifying Round)
We went behind just before HT. However, Larnell Fitzpatrick levelled it up with a header 10 mins after HT and that's the way it stayed until ET, when goals in each half of ET by Filippo Cancelli and Sergio Corallo saw advance to the First Round.
Oh my. This is the most tempted I've ever been... What do you think, FMCU?
Last edited by Deisler26; 15-02-2012 at 07:15.
Tough decision Deisler. Me...I'd take it but I suppose it depends if you think you can take Santarcangelo Calcio any further.
Wow, that's almost the perfect job for you. How have they been doing in recent seasons?
Easy to say take it because Dortmund are a great club. I would be more inclined to try and make Santarcangelo an established top flight club before moving on.
Wow, but I thought this was about Italy so stay on this occasion.
Great offer... but I'd stay in Italy. There's plenty still to achieve with Santarcangelo!
Most of you know me well. I rejected the deal. The basis was to take Santarcangelo into Serie A and keep them there. I haven't done that yet.
Santarcangelo Calcio, December 2024 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 AS Roma (Serie A TIM)
91st minute defeat. Gutted.
Santarcangelo Calcio 5 - 0 Ekaranas (UEFA Europa League, Group J)
We were third in the group, equal on points with second-placed Rubin Kazan, but with a vastly inferior goal difference. We certainly changed that however as FOUR goals from Paolo Sarzi and an own goal put us in a winner-take-all situation in the last game.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Genoa (Serie A TIM)
Two goals in three minutes midway through the first half was as exciting as it got. Paolo Sarzi popped up with the equaliser on 24 mins after we'd gone behind.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 FC Internazionale (Serie A TIM)
We withstood a siege to snatch a point.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Fenerbahçe S.K (UEFA Europa League, Group J)
The premise was simple. Win and we were through to the Knockout Stages. Draw or lose and we were out pretty much. The dream died in three short second half minutes. Simone Pettinari saw red for a two-footed tackle on 52 mins, Rubin Kazan then took the lead against Ekranas a minute later in Russia then finally, Fenerbahçe scored on 55 minutes to top it off. We were given a lifeline on 72 mins with a penalty scored by Stefano Guarardi . We just couldn't break though otherwise and went out of the tournament. Looking back, it was the defeat to Ekranas that did us, all the way back in Gameday 1. That 0-1 defeat was their only points and only goal in the tournament.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 2 Juventus (Serie A TIM)
Paolo Sarzi netted a late penalty, but we were already 0-2 down.
No idea on how or if I'm going to upgrade the team during the winter break. Nunzio Novelli is making noises about being unhappy at Atalanta, so he could be a target.
I feel your pain.
Ekranas shockingly knocked my Galatasaray side out of the Europa League once on FM11, I beat them 1-0 in Lithuania and they scored2 fluke goals and knocked me out in Istanbul. I've been wanting to get them back for a while now.
So, he actually cost me £2m in the end.
Santarcangelo Calcio, January 2025 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 Brescia Calcio (Serie A TIM)
Ah, this was one of those games. Brescia won the game WITHOUT HAVING A SINGLE SHOT ON TARGET.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 S.S.C Napoli (Serie A TIM)
Davide Cristiano netted the equaliser as I just threw this team at Napoli.
Santarcangelo Calcio p1 - 1 AS Roma (4-2 on pens) (TIM Coppa Italia First Round)
A REALLY tight game had to go to ET to see the first goal. Amedeo Del Nevo firing home on 110 minutes to start the celebrations, only for Roma to equalise on 120 mins, thanks to a close-range free-kick. So it was to penalties. Paolo Sarzi confidently placed his in the corner to start us off, whilst Mirco Doria saved their first effort moments earlier. We then netted our next two pens, before missing our fourth.. They stepped up for #4 and put it wide. It was down to Luca Buldrini to send us through and he did so emphatically, ramming it home into the top corner.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Cittá di Palermo (Serie A TIM)
A deadly double from Paolo Sarzi gave us a vital win here, while Mirco Doria saved his second penalty in two games..
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 Udinese Calcio (Serie A TIM)
We utterly battered Udinese, to the extent that they had one shot all game. But our old problem, being unable to finish, reared it's ugly head.
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 0 Brescia Calcio (TIM Coppa Italia Quarter Final)
We put our recent woes behind us to put ourselves in the Semi Finals for the second year running! An own goal set us on our way before goals from Matteo Colombi and his midfield partner Amedeo Del Nevo put this game beyond doubt.
On the transfer front, I received word that Nunzio Novelli was unhappy at Atalanta and wanted out. He had become alienated and the time could be right for him to return to the club, a la Mirco Doria. So I put out a little word with the press that I was interested in signing Novelli. I claimed that this club made him, he had it in his blood and the time was right for him to come home. He promptly said no in the press. Gutted. However, later on, Atlanta offered him to us for £3.9m. I took their hands off and made the deal. I also then made £1.9m back through the 50% sell on clause, so in reality, he only cost me £2m! Also coming in was FC Internazionale defender Andrea Raia who, again, was offered to us and at a bargain £250k. Again, I snapped him up.
Leaving the club was young striker Davide Cristiano. At £2.7m + 50% to Juventus, I couldn't say no, especially as he was complaining of no game time! DC/DM Janusz Grunt continued to moan about being homesick, so when Atalanta came in with a £4m co-ownership offer, I took their arm off.
Nice to knock Roma out the cup. Novelli looks a nice signing .
Great wins in the cup. Looks like you've made two great young signings aswell.
Excellent efforts in the cup again, some smooth business in the transfer market as well. Not a fantastic month in the league but based on your efforts against the likes of Palermo and Udinese staying up shouldn't be a problem this time around. I'm also picking back-to-back Coppa Italia victories
You've become quite the Coppa Italia expert
Hopefully your efforts will see you survive this season and it's nice to see Novelli come back t the club.
This is the difference between Nunzio Novelli's two arrivals at the club
A much better player, hes really grown mentally and physically.
And I'm totally made up for him coming back. I was worried when he publicly stated he didn't want to come back, but once he was offered to me, I knew he was mine!
Massive difference in Novelli.
Santarcangelo Calcio, February 2025 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 2 Cesena (Serie A TIM)
Just had no penetration really.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 Atalanta (TIM Coppa Italia Semi Final, Leg 1)
A great home draw against an in-form side.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 S.S Lazio (Serie A TIM)
Paolo Sarzi netted the equaliser to give us yet another draw.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 U.C Sampdoria (Serie A TIM)
The same pattern as most of our draws this season. Went behind and then equalised through Francesco Valentini.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 1 AC Milan (Serie A TIM)
Man, they must hate me right now. Amadeo Del Nevo put us into the lead, but we conceded on the stroke of half-time. However, midway through the second half, it was our own signing from AC Milan last summer, Davide Ranieri, who scored the winnner.
DC Vincenzo Benassi
DC Simone Longhi
DR Andrea Massetti
I'm not signing Mirco Angelli, simply as he's an AML and hasn't got the level to change into either a DL or ST
Torrisi is a limited defender. Both his ability and his potential are very limited
Not a big fan of the incoming youth intake - looks like one of your weakest recently, I think
Longhi and Massetti both have strong physicals for their age which is a bonus, should make them easier to develop and give game time.
Santarcangelo Calcio, March 2025 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 1 Torino FC (Serie A TIM)
An own goal put us in the lead, before Matteo Colombi's fierce strike on 85 minutes settled the game.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 ChievoVerona (Serie A TIM)
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 Fiorentina(Serie A TIM)
A dull draw between two teams at the foot of the table
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Parma FC (Serie A TIM)
Amadeo Del Nevo rescued a point as we managed to finish the month, 6 points clear.
Think you will stave off relegation this time round?
Lots of draws, hopefully you can turn a few more of those into victories, you don't deserve to go straight back down again
On FM11 I had a similar thing that you had with Novelli (though in my case the player had been sold before I arrived) and was amused to get the discount.
Poor Gullit...
Santarcangelo Calcio, April 2025 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio p0 - 0 Atalanta (3-2 on pens) (TIM Coppa Italia Semi Final, Leg 2)
An tight, bitty game saw us go 120 mins without a goal again, into the lottery of penalties. Mirco Doria was our hero, saving three of five penalties as we booked our passage into the final.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 2 Atalanta (Serie A TIM)
In a feisty encounter, days after we had knocked them out the cup, we had to rely on our midfield to get us through as Remo Cristiani and Matteo Colombi scored the goals to salvage a draw.
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 2 Varese (Serie A TIM)
Two goals from Paolo Sarzi twice gave us the lead, before a late goal from Slim Saidi wrapped up the win and gave us more hope of avoiding the drop.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 Cagliari (Serie A TIM)
I don't want to be losing these late games, dammit....
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 AS Roma (Serie A TIM)
Smash and grab raid on Roma, as Sergio Corallo scored late in the second to give us a priceless win
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 1 Genoa (Serie A TIM)
Struggling Genoa went down to 10 early on, then were badly beaten by a Carlo Alberto Vinci hat-trick... So close to staying up...
Santarcangelo Calcio, May 2025 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 6 F.C Internazionale (Serie A TIM)
This..... was not good.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 Juventus (Serie A TIM)
The Old Lady was mugged on this occasion as we conducted a smash n' grab on Juve with a Sergio Corallo goal. This result saw us mathmatically safe.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 3 Brescia Calcio (Serie A TIM)
A lone goal from Amadeo Del Nevo was the only thing mustered from a team with both eyes on the Cup Final.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 S.S.C Napoli (Serie A TIM)
Dull, boring, flat. The perfect end to a season of survival
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0p Parma (2-3 on pens) (TIM Coppa Italia Final)
120 mins of pure torture, with neither side getting many clear-cut chances. Penalties beckoned and, again, Mirco Doria saved the first penalty. It was to be our bright spot as first Remo Cristiani missed, then Sergio Corallo and finally, most crucially, Andrea Raia missed, gifting Parma the cup win and us some more broken dreams.
We eventually finished 14th in Serie A TIM, some 5 points clear of the drop zone. The joy was short-lived as we failed to take home the TIM Coppa Italia again.
Now, I've completed my target that I set out to do when I started this save. Take a team playing Catenaccio all the way from Lega Pro Seconda Divisione to Serie A TIM and keep them up. So, I suppose the question is; Do I stay? Or seek other climes?
Last edited by Deisler26; 19-02-2012 at 23:56.
Surely you stay. Surely. Youve bored Italy to death with you 1-0 Catenaccio football, now inflict the same pain on Europe! Well done staying up too, and shame about the cup!
What would be your options if you were to leave?
I woulld personally stay on, as there is so much more you could accomplish!
I would give it at least another season.
There's more to do in Italy at other clubs if you need to.
As abulezz said, what would be your options if you were to leave?
Great job staying up, shame you couldn't add another Coppa Italia to put the cherry on the cake.
Well, I'm definitely staying until the end of the season. I think it will depend a lot on my youth intake as I need some younger replacements for the players in their prime.
I'm not ashamed to say, I just looked up flights and hotel accomodation to go to Santarcangelo for a game....
That'd be awesome! Are you going?
I discovered this amazing career only today!! Wonderful hmmm xy hours of reading Keep it up and stay in there! I'm very impressed you never gave up despite all the game / saves crashes, I would've been discouraged by those.
If it'd help to convince wife, very near there is also San Marino... and women love that place
Flying to go watch the rubbish team you manage in FM.. that's amazing dedication.
I quite like the way you rescue back players you had to sell previously, Doria's comeback has been wildly successful and I hope Novelli's goes the same way.
Quality stuff mate, keep up the great work.
There was a pretty good thread in GD (it does happen sometimes) with someone travelling a distance to watch a club he had grown to love due to FM. Think it was FC Oss he went to see. Said the club were really good to him and the game was very high scoring draw, 3-3 or 4-4, can't remeber the exact score. Sounded like he had a ball though
Yeah i've just read an article of a guy who came from Brazil to watch Accrington Stanley, he had taken them to premiership glory on FM but i think he genuinly supported them. You should definitly go though, would be a great experience.
The joys of moving around, you don't get attached
Santarcangelo Calcio, August 2025 Review
We had our pitch re-laid and work started on our new youth facilities and our stadium increases in the off-season. Our brief was to again avoid relegation with a £210k wage budget and a £17.13m transfer budget. Again, all I want to do is stay up..
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 Varese (TIM Coppa Italia Third Qualifying Round)
This was just s****y. We barely got into gear all game and in the 58th minute, a hard angled shot from the edge of the area was redirected by the Varese striker's head, leaving Doria only able to palm the ball into the net.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 2 S.S Lazio (Serie A TIM)
Francesco Cortini put us into the lead early on with a deft header and Sergio Corallo put us back in the lead on 64 mins after we'd conceded just before HT. However, a win wasn't to be as we conceded late on to start the season with a credible 2-2 draw.
No major signings to note this August. First off, talented Brazilian midfielder Filipe came in on a free from Santos along with veteran striker Federico Macheda, also on a free. The main cash spent was a £1m deal for youth DM Giuseppe Santangelo from Varese. We also signed three players to youth contracts. German AMC Kai Gensler, French AMC Johan Dumont and, finally, Portuguese ST Dani Rodrigues. I'll put up their sats if I sign them.
First out the door was DM Çağatay Topraktepe. He'll be an exceptional talent, but a S.S.C Napoli offer of £6m + 50% is too much to turn down.. English D/MC Larnell Fitzpatrick headed back to the homeland and Coventry City for the sum of £1.5m. Also leaving was AMC Matteo Colombi for £2.9m to Livorno and MC Davide Ranieri to Parma FC for £2.5m + 50%. That was a loss, but with Del Nevo and now Filipe ahead of him, his opportunities were limited. Finally, youth starlet Daniel Giannoni was snapped up by Paris Saint Germain for £2.1m + 50%. He'll be a great talent and hopefully, I can profit by it.
Good to see you back, man. Not used to you having money though... after all those years of boards giving you nothing but an order to cut your wages, seeing a transfer budget of £17m is just alien to me!
Santarcangelo Calcio, September 2025 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 F.C Internazionale (Serie A TIM)
A good defensive performance ground us out the point here.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 AC Milan (Serie A TIM)
We worked hand and the only slip the defence made all game left the Milan striker free to condemn us to defeat.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 1 Empoli FC (Serie A TIM)
Paolo Sarzi put us ahead with a placed shot into the corner, then Amedeo Del Nevo doubled our lead in the second half with a fine run and shot.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 Juve Stabia (Serie A TIM)
Federico Macheda was our hero in this one, netting his first ever goal for the club after Francesco Cortini's strike was beaten out by the keeper.
We were 10th at the end of the month, however, our next match is against S.S.C Napoli, who have racked up the following scores in the last three games. 6-1, 4-0 and 9-0. Oh.
Santarcangelo Calcio, October 2025 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 S.S.C Napoli (Serie A TIM)
We snuffed out the most potent strikeforce in the league with a stiffling defensive peformance.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 Udinese Calcio (Serie A TIM)
Paolo Sarzi netted the game winner.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 Brescia Calcio (Serie A TIM)
Disappointing draw to be honest.
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 0 U.C Sampdoria (Serie A TIM)
Filipe bobbled home his first for the club and a Paolo Sarzi double put the tin hat on this game.
Some very impressive results this season mate, only one loss in the league so far too!
Santarcangelo Calcio, November 2025 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Atalanta (Serie A TIM)
Slim Saidi's goal rescued the point for us here.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Nocerina (Serie A TIM)
A REALLY disappointing draw against the rock-bottom club.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 ChievoVerona (Serie A TIM)
Paolo Sarzi put us ahead with a placed shot into the cornerto give us the win.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 3 Juventus (Serie A TIM)
Cristian Pinton opened the scoring for us, but three goals in the second half put us in our place.
Filipe looks fantastic nice going
Your doing very well so far
Btw nice to see you back
Much better at this 'Serie A' lark
Santarcangelo Calcio, December 2025 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 1 Parma FC (Serie A TIM)
Francesco Cortini's goal put us in the lead and an own goal settled the deal for us.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 2 Cagliari (Serie A TIM)
A terrible performance and a deserved defeat.
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 2 Fiorentina (Serie A TIM)
Federico Macheda 's hat-trick put us in the lead three times and gave us a stunning win.
We finished 2025 in 5th place in Serie A TIM. I can't see my wanting to improve the squad just yet. But we'll see.
5th!! Absolutely phenomenal stuff Deisler, hopefully you can stay up there for the rest of the season. Are the UCL places too far off?
Excellent first half of the season
Wow, great progress.
Don't get a nosebleed, now
Thanks guys. We'll never keep this up, but I'm hoping we can stabilise in Midtable overall. That would be great.
Great work!
Nice half of the season, lets see if your team can keep it up.
Going well, man. Really good progress there. Hoping I can get to those kind of dizzy Serie A heights in my own thread at some point... until then, I'll have to just enjoy this continuing adventure!
I'm having a crisis of faith with this save at the minute. I just don't know what to do...
What's happening? The team no longer able to improve?
I think it's time to go Fergie on this team. Rip them apart. All foreigners out, try to bring some of the youth through.

I just don't know how talent can be developed and nurtured unless people can be given lots, and lots of opportunities.
It would go a long way if they went back to having longer City Center seasons, imo. ABT has many, many shorter narrative works that make for good testing ground for future full-length tryouts. They just need to actually program decent work, rather than the weird rep they've put on for the last two years and their City Center seasons would be salvaged while giving the audiences a venue to "shop" new talent/partnerships.
I don't care what the venue is, but I really believe that the dancers need more mixed-rep programs, and as a ticket-buyer, so do I.

COPPERAS COVE (September 21, 2012)-A Copperas Cove man was in custody in Gatesville Friday charged with two counts of indecency with a child after his arrest in West Texas on a warrant from Coryell County.
Rene Reyna, 38, was arrested in Tom Green County on a warrant signed by Coryell County Justice of the Peace Coy Latham and was transferred back to Gatesville this week.
The warrant charges indecency with a child by contact, which stems from an incident in Coryell County.
In the arrest warrant issued by Latham, Coryell County Sheriff's Deputy Armando Paniagua says the incident happened at a residence in the county and involved a child younger than 14.
The warrant return indicates Reyna was arrested Sept. 18 in San Angelo and was held in the Tom Green County Jail until his transfer back to Coryell County.
Reyna was ordered held in lieu of $100,000 bond.

[Columbia, Mo.]-Missouri Hall on the Columbia College campus will close beginning Thursday, Jan. 19 as it is renovated to house a new one-stop student services center. Renovations are expected to be complete in 2007.
"It is time that we retrofit this venerable old facility," said Dr. Gerald Brouder, president of Columbia College. "It is a reservoir of many fond memories for those who lived within its walls. Our hope is that Missouri Hall will generate, throughout its future, many fine memories found in examples of stellar service to students."
The new student services center in Missouri Hall will include the Admissions office; Evening Campus administration; Registration; Student Financial Services; Financial Aid; Business Office; Evaluations and Transcripts; Student Support Services; Math and Writing centers; and the systems analysts and institutional research specialists.
Offices currently located in Missouri Hall will relocate temporarily beginning Monday, Jan. 16, to accommodate the renovations. Admissions staff will move to 316 N. 10th Street, adjacent to the Columbia College campus. Registration, Evaluations and Transcripts will move to the lower level of Launer Hall on the college campus. In addition, modular buildings on the north side of Brown Hall will house Student Support Services, as well as the Math and Writing centers and the music practice rooms. Access to some services may temporarily be affected while the offices are moved to their temporary locations. For more information, students, alumni and others may visit the Columbia College Web site at www.ccis.edu.
A historic structure on the Columbia College campus, Missouri Hall was completed in 1920 as a home economics building combined with dormitory space. Great care is being taken to preserve the unique history of the building. The college has worked closely with the architects involved in the project to ensure the building�s beautiful parlor is preserved and enhanced in the renovation.
Columbia College serves more than 20,000 students each year at its Day Campus, Evening Campus, Nationwide Campuses, Online Campus and Graduate Studies program.
The college was founded in 1851 as Christian Female College and was renamed Columbia College in 1970 when it became coeducational.
