Holidayed to June, but not likely to get an update done tonight, so it'll be tomorrow.
I will however, reveal who will be heading to the World Cup shortly.
World Cup 2022 Players
Group B
Holland - Bakra, Arie Kanarie and Rocky Brittus
Group C

Group D
France - David Le Soire
Group E
Australia - Nick Adam
Group F
England - Matthew Cooper, Ben Goldsmith and Tom Skull
South Korea - Long Tym Toon Jr.
Group G
Italy - Simone Finke
I'm quite surprised with Italy not taking Jimmio Bowmanaggio or Jordan Swinburn.
Going to add up goals now and and upload screenshots so i can get the update done asap tomorrow.
I'm not surprised. They don't like me anymore.
Looks like I'll be leading the line for Italy. Hope for a decent showing this time.
You are the only out and out striker for Italy that is there. There are a few others that are also wingers.
Working on the update now.
Glad I'm chosen despite being benched by Feyenoord.
End of Season 2021/22
Nick Adam - It's an awful season for Nick who made just 1(4) games all season for Marseille and scored just 1 goal. He scored 5 in 9 for Australia, is now on 100 caps and will be heading to the World Cup. Marseille finished 7th and were French Cup runners up.
Bakra - A pretty good season for Bakra, although a lot of his games game from the bench. 12(27) games this season with 19 goals scored. He played 5(2) for Holland with 4 goals, and will miss the World Cup groups because of a hernia. Feyenoord finished 6th in the league.
Jimmio Bowmanaggio - Jimmio played ok considering he had a bad injury early in the season. He played 13(2) games for Porto and scored 11 goals. Porto finished 2nd in the league and they were Portuguese Cup runners up. Unfortunately Jimmio won't be at the World Cup with Italy.
Rocky Brittus - Rocky played ok this season but ended up with 9 weeks of injuries towards the end. He played 17 games overall and scored 7 games and he has been picked for the Holland World Cup squad. Vitesse finished 7th in the league.
Chopper - Not a great season, but better than the last one. He played 21(15) games for Shakhtar and scored 11 goals. Chopper scored 3 goals in 5(1) games for Chile too. Shakhtar ended up winning the league this season. He is happy to stay at the club.
Matthew Cooper - Matthew had a varied season, spending more time on the bench, but still given quite a few first team starts. He played 11(16) games for Arsenal and scored 10 goals. He has been picked for the England World Cup squad. Arsenal won the league.
Josh Crane - Josh can probably be happy with his season, but might want more games in future. He played 12(9) games for Inter and scored 13 goals. He needs just 3 goals to reach 200 career goals. Inter had a pretty poor season, finishing in 11th.
Whoopski Deeski - Not the best of season, but he did spend 14 weeks out with various injuries. He played 21(2) games for Spartak and he scored 13 goals. For some reason i got rid of the Russian league, but i can see Spartak didn't finish top 3. It'll be back soon.
Edmond Doustourian - A better season for Edmond who played 28(2) games for Dnipro and he got himself 19 goals. He also scored 4 in 5 for Armenia. Dnipro finished 3rd in the league again. Edmond has signed a new 4 year contract with the club.
Simone Finke - A great season for Simone who is now over 100 career goals and off the bottom. He scored 27 goals for Bremen in 43(1) games and now has 3 goals for Italy and is heading to his first World Cup. Bremen finished 4th in the league.
Ben Goldsmith - Another good season for Ben who scored 22 goals in 33(2) games for Sampdoria and has been picked for the England World Cup squad. His 20 league goals helped Sampdoria win Serie A and they were also Europa League runners up.
Alejandro Hernandez - Not a great season for Alejandro but it's not looking like he's moving any time soon. He played 20(9) games for Xerez and scored 12 goals. Xerez found themselves going straight back up to La Liga, having won Liga Adelante with ease.
Arie Kanarie - A pretty good season for Arie, who scored 16 goals for Arsenal in 24(4) games. He also scored 7 in 8 for Holland and will hope to impress at the World Cup. He is enjoying playing for the club and Arsena won the league.
Igor Kesina - A fairly good season for Igor, scoring 16 goals in 34(2) for Lille and scoring 3 goals in 6 games for Croatia. Igor is happy playing for the club. Lille had a pretty poor season, finishing in 8th place and were poor in both cups.
David Le Soire - David had another great season for Zurich, playing 45 games and scoring 36 goals. He scored 3 in 7(1) for France too and will be at the World Cup. He needs 27 goals next season to reach 300 league goals for Zurich. Zurich were poor, finishing 5th.
Aidan LFC - Aidan played 24(4) games for Bolton and scored 10 goals, he missed the last 6 weeks of the season though with a torn calf and will be out for up to another 2 months. Bolton finished 12th in the Premier League.
Long Tym Toon Jr. - Another poor season at Real Sociedad, scoring just 3 goals in 2(14) games. He scored 11 in 11(1) for South Korea though and will be at the World Cup. Real Sociedad finished 11th in the league. He is still not needed by the club, but isn't transfer listed.
Jason McIllmurray Jr. - A couple of injuries keeping him out for nearly 4 month this season. However he still got 21(1) games for Dortmund and scored 11 goals. Dortmund finished 7th in the league and won the German cup on penalties. Jason scored the Dortmund goal during the 90 minutes.
Silvio Mella - Not a great season for Silvio and he is unhappy at the club and is wanting to leave. He played 26(7) games for PSG and scored 11 goals. He also got 7 in 8 for Malta. PSG did well in the league, finishing in 3rd place.
Des Morgan - He needed to leave the club before, but really needs to leave now as he played just 5(3) games and scored just 2 goals, leaving him bottom of the pile. He scored 6 in 6(3) for Jamaica this season. Genoa finished 5th in Serie A.
Jamie O'Connor - Jamie can be a bit more pleased than usual as he played 16(14) games for Spurs and scored 12 goals. He needs to leave the club if he wants more first team football though. Spurs finished 6th in the Premier League.
Kwesi Owusu - Another good season for Kwesi at Chelsea, scoring 26 goals for the club in 38(7) games. He also scored 5 in 5(2) for Nigeria. Just 2 more goals until he reaches 200 career goals. Chelsea finished 4th in the league and were FA Cup runners up.
Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - A great season for Quique who scored 29 goals in 45(5) games for Atlas and got 9 in 10 for Jamaica. He is now over 300 career goals. A good season for Atlas, winning the Closing Stage and winning the North American Champions League.
Aleksander Radakovic - A good season for the Serb, scoring 22 goals in 38(1) games for Lazio. Unfortunately his 20 league goals couldn't get him the top scorer award again. Lazio finished 15th in the league and were Italian Cup runners up. He is considering his options.
Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - A pretty good season for Bjorgvin who played 28(3) games for Stoke this season and scored 15 goals. He still needs 31 goals until he reaches 200 career goals. Stoke had an amazing season, finishing 2nd in the Premier League.
Mathew Schneider - A very good season for Matthew, scoring 27 goals in 43(1) games, scoring more goals than Tom Skull for the first time in a while. He scored 5 in 5 for Israel this season too. Valencia finished 4th in the league, won the Super Cup and 2 goals from Matthew won them the Spanish Cup.
Stuart Shaw - Not his best season, but still not bad. He scored 20 goals for Everton in 42 games, as well as getting 6 in 8 for Scotland. Everton finished 10th in the league and they lost in the League Cup final on penalties.
Murt Shepard - Murt had a fairly good season, scoring 22 goals in 36 games for Bordeaux and he got 8 in 6 for Ireland. Murt is wanted by Man Utd, but has just signed a new 5 year contract. Bordeaux finished 10th in the league.
Cristian Sirera - A better season for Cristian, but could still do better. He got 15 goals in 21(12) games for Palermo this season and 3 in 6(1) for Spain. He is currently out for up to 4 weeks. Palermo finished 2nd in Serie A.
Tom Skull - Tom had his worst season yet in goals scored, but it was still pretty good overall. 24 goals in 43(1) games for Valencia and 9 in 9 for England. He is now over 300 career goals. Valencia finished 4th, won the Super Cup and Spanish Cup.
Mario Spehar - Mario played 23(3) games for Inter this season and scored 12 goals. He also got 6 in 7(1) for Croatia and is now over 200 career goals. Inter had a pretty poor season, finishing in 11th place in the league.
Jordan Swinburn - A good season again from Jordan, scoring 24 goals in 37(2) games for Napoli. Unfortunately he hasn't played any more for Italy and won't feature at the World Cup. Napoli finished 4th in the league.
The Mad Scot - Another good season for The Mad Scot who has yet to score under 20 goals in a season since his first. He got 27 this season from 46 games for Celtic. He has also signed a new 5 year contract. Celtic won the league, but nothing else.
Thomas Weir - Thomas played 41(4) games for Chelsea, but could only find the net on 19 ocassions. He played 7(1) for Scotland too and got 5 goals. He needs 3 goals to reach 300 career goals. Chelsea finished 4th in the league and were FA Cup runners up.

A poor World Cup from Holland, Scotland and South Korea.
Standard end to the season, good to know I'm still helping Arsenal challenge for honours. Shame I haven't scored many international goals yet.
wow holland the worst team in the WC, unbelievable! How the hell did we lose against freaking Canada:S
thanks for the updates by the way!
There is a possibility someone has been transfered, but i have seen the surname elsewhere in the game, so could easily be someone else :P i'll find out soon.

Nick Adam - 5 Games 1 Goals
Matthew Cooper - 1(1) Games 0 Goals
Ben Goldsmith - 0(3) Games 0 Goals

A very unlikely winner.
David Le Soire was given the Golden Boot and was also named in the starting line up for the Dream Team.
And i was wrong about that transfer
Once they were past Argentina, Honduras definitely had the easier side of the bracket... what an odd World Cup!
A good world cup for me then, but will I ever move?
What a surprise, no transfers in September.
A couple of injuries to mention and a few other things.
Aidan LFC - Recovering from a pulled hamstring, will be back in a week.
Jordan Swinburn - Spent the last 3 weeks out with a twisted ankle and will return in a day.
Thomas Weir - Has a lower back stress fracture and will spend 6-7 weeks out.
White Widow - Has a damaged achilles tendon and will miss 2 months of football.
Chopper and Des Morgan's contracts will run out at the end of the year.
Man Utd are interested in Stuart Shaw
David Le Soire was last years top scorer with 42.

Going to holiday now, possibility it'll be up later, but more likely tomorrow.
Well that World Cup was...interesting. My player needs to get himself sorted out next season, 24 goals in 44 games not good enough!
Haha it is good, but not compared to his last seasons with Valencia, scoring less than Schneider too.
Sorry i am in australia atm, so dont get to comment much, but great updates and I am raging that widow is injured, keep up the good work!
How the hell did Honduras win the World Cup
Interesting that my contract's up at the end of the season, lets see if I decide to move or just stay put.
Well i'm at January now and you havn't signed a new one, neither had Des Morgan and one of you has already decided to leave on a free at the end of the season.
Please be me, please be me.
Both of you will find out before 12pm hopefully. I'll be trying to get an end of season update in today as well, no guarantees though.

I'm going to be looking at the non-posters again later don't worry though it's only about 4 or 5 people still.
I know some people can't get to a PC as much and some havn't been back to the forums for a while. But for those people that are posting elsewhere on the forums, surely it only takes a few minutes at max to post something. I wonder why some people sign up to these.
Past 200 at long long last!
Hopeful of reaching 300 before my career ends.
Whey! Nearly there. Good to see Italy finally getting off the fence and doing the right thing. Forza Napoli!
17 is 13 for Jamaica . Where am I moving too? Or won't you tell me?
Not looking good for Spehar
Do you know if the lack of games is due to injuries, or is it just a change in direction from the Inter management?
Decent start to this season. I need a good season to keep a place in the top 5!
Just had a quick look and it seems as though he's been playing you more often than Blanc was.
Holidaying again and it should be done by the time i get home, before 6pm sometime. Hopefully i'll get the end of season update done before midnight tonight.
I cant believe Bakra is being benched despite being a legend at Feyenoord! got the 200 marks tough
Mella having a spell of bad seasons, broken shoulder
Would quite like him to move away from PSG now, any interest CB?
Oh no, only 1 goal. Come on, only 9 more for 200!
Almost at 400, catching the Widow now, another injury for him would be nice
not scoring so much for porto now, but proof that Italy missed me at the World Cup
Holidaying done, still aiming for before midnight, latest. It's amazing how 5 less people has made me want to write more updates.
Little thing about some other cups first, like the African Nations. Nigeria lost in the quarter finals, better luck next year.
Jamaica won the latest Caribbean Championships, with Quique Sanchez-Tredwell scoring 1 of the 3 goals. Des Morgan was on the bench. Jamaica will also take part in the Gold Cup, in a few weeks time.
Long Tym Toon Jr. will be playing for South Korea in the Asian Cup, starting in a few weeks. Unfortunately Nick Adam wasn't picked for Australia.
FFS, on the bench . Really do need to step down a level or find a club that will make me feel loved again.
I really would love to get of that bench sometime oh well got the Asian Cup should see South Korea win it hopefully 200 goals wahooo hopefully be able to get to 300
End of Season 2022/23
Nick Adam - A terrible season overall for Nick, who is now looking to get away from the club and with 4 teams interested, it could easily happen. He played 1(7) games and scored just 1 goal. Marseille finished 3rd in the league and were Coupe de la Ligue runners up.
Bakra - Wasn't a good season for Bakra either, who only got 4 full starts all season and 20 sub appearances, scoring just 8 goals. However he is enjoying playing for the club. Feyenoord finished 3rd in the league and won the Dutch Cup.
Jimmio Bowmanaggio - A very similar season for Jimmio with 10 goals for Porto in 15(10) games played. He also scored 3 in 1(2) for Italy. He is happy to stay at the club and Porto finished 2nd in the league.
Rocky Brittus - A bad season again for Rocky who scored 7 goals for a 2nd season running, this time in 10(11) games. He is unhappy at Vitesse and wants to leave for a bigger club. Vitesse finished 13th in the league.
Chopper - Chopper struggled towards the end of the season and scored 14 goals all season in 21(8) games. He didn't play any games for Chile. He is currently considering a contract from Shakhtar. Shakhtar won the league.
Matthew Cooper - Probably his best season in an Arsenal shirt so far, with 17 goals scored in 14(15) games. His goals helped Arsenal win the Premier League. Unfortunately Arsenal lost the community shield.
Josh Crane - Not a good season for Josh at all, with just 4 goals scored in 10(19) games played for Inter. He is enjoying playing for the club however. Inter did better than last year, finishing in 7th place.
Whoopski Deeski - Not a great season for Whoopski, but not a bad one. He played 28 games for Spartak and scored 12 goals. He is still 13 goals away from 150. Spartak finished 5th in the league and were poor in other competitions.
Edmond Doustourian - Edmond had a pretty average season overall, scoring 12 goals in 26(2) games for his club and 3 in 6 for country. Dnipro were poor in all competitions, finishing 9th in the league.
Simone Finke - Another great season for Simone who is slowly on his way to 150 career goals. He scored 26 this season in 38(1) games for Bremen. He has signed a new 5 year contract. Bremen finished 5th in the league.
Ben Goldsmith - Not a good season at all for Ben, who ended up with just 3 goals in 4(8) games. He did miss 2 months of football with a hip injury, but it shouldn't have made this much difference. Sampdoria were Serie A runners up.
Alejandro Hernandez - A better season for Alejandro, who scored 18 goals this season for Xerez, in 36(2) games. Xerez were poor, but they did survive relegation, finishing in 15th place.
Arie Kanarie - A pretty good season overall for Arie, although nowhere near his best for Arsenal. He played 23(7) games and he scored 16 goals and is now over 300 career goals. Arsenal won the Premier League.
Igor Kesina - Igor had a very similar season to the last, scoring 16 goals again in 31(4) games for the club. He is unhappy at Lille and wants to leave for a bigger club. Lille finished 9th in the league.
David Le Soire - David struggled in the 2nd half of the season, ending the season with 22 goals from 34(1) games. He scored 6 in 10 for France too. He is now happy at the club. Zurich finished 3rd in the league.
Aidan LFC - Another bad season for Aidan, who really needs to leave Bolton if he's to get more goals. He scored just 8 this season in 11(3) games. He might get more goals next season as Bolton get relegated to the Championship.
Long Tym Toon Jr. - I have never known an important first team player to play just 9(16) games in a season, but that happened here. He scored 11 goals in those games. Real Sociedad finished 10th in the league.
Jason McIllmurray Jr. - A good season for Jason who needs just 7 goals to reach 250 career goals. He scored 21 this season in 39(2) games for Dortmund and 5 in 10 for N.Ireland. Dortmund finished 4th in the league and were German Cup runners up.
Silvio Mella - Not a good season for Silvio who scored 8 goals in 16(7) games for PSG. He impressed for Malta, breaking a record for most goals in a season with 11, scored in 6 games. PSG finished 2nd in the league and were French Cup runners up.
Des Morgan - If he hadn't had games for Jamaica he'd be quite far behind the others. Luckily he scored 20 in 12(2) for his country over the season. He scored none for his club and will finally leave them soon. Genoa finished 13th in the league.
Jamie O'Connor - Jamie seems to be playing more often lately, but it's still not first team football really. He played 11(8) games for Spurs and scored 10 goals. Spurs finished 4th in the league.
Kwesi Owusu - A pretty good season for Kwesi, scoring 21 goals in 34(3) games for Chelsea. He also scored 6 in 8(2) for Nigeria. He wants a new challenge though and is considering his options. Thomas Weir is in his favourites. Chelsea finished 2nd in the league.
Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - A pretty good season for the Jamaican, with 21 goals scored in 41(2) for his club and 12 scored in 12 for country. Atlas could only reach the quarter finals of the Closing Stage.
Aleksander Radakovic - A good season for Aleksander, scoring 17 goals in 31(4) games for Lazio. He scored 3 in 5(1) for Serbia too. He is still considering his options. Lazio finished 12th in the league.
Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - Unfortunately not many more goals for Bjorgvin after a great first half of the season. He ended up with 24 goals in 30(2) games for Stoke and 4 in 6 for Iceland. Stoke had another good league season, finishing 3rd.
Mathew Schneider - A good season from Mathew again, scoring 25 goals in 32(7) games for the club and 2 in 8 for country. I think for the first time yet he scored more than Tom Skull. Valencia won the league again, having missed out the last 2 seasons.
Stuart Shaw - Possibly his worst season yet, although he did still make it to double figures, with 11 goals in 35 games for Everton. He is recovering from strained knee ligaments. Everton finished 8th in the league.
Murt Shepard - A fairly good season for Murt who scored 21 goals for Bordeaux in 33(1) appearances. He also got himself 7 goals in 10 for Ireland. Bordeaux had an average league season, finishing in 10th place.
Cristian Sirera - Not a great season, but it could have been much worse. He scored 10 goals for Palermo in 15(20) games. He also got 2 goals in 3(4) games for Spain. Palermo finished 6th in Serie A and were Champions League semi-finalists.
Tom Skull - Tom scored less goals again, if the same happens again he'll be under 20 goals for a season. He got 21 this season in 37(3) games and 1 in 3(4) for England. Valencia won the league having missed out on it the last 2 seasons.
Mario Spehar - With the new manager coming in, Mario ended up playing 15(2) games all season and got 8 goals. He played 3(2) for Croatia and scored 2 goals. Inter were poor in the cups and finished 7th in the league.
Jordan Swinburn - Jordan had a fairly good season for Napoli but he is unhappy for the first time in a while. He finally wants a new challenge. He scored 15 goals this season in 34(1) games as Napoli finished 9th in the league.
The Mad Scot - A good season again for The Mad Scot with 24 goals scored for Celtic in 36 games. He got 4 goals for Scotland in 5(2) games. Celtic finished 2nd in the league and won the League Cup.
Thomas Weir - Thomas didn't have the best of seasons, but will be happy to still be scoring goals. He got 14 this season in 20(9) games for club and 5 in 6(2) games for his country. Chelsea finished 2nd in the league.
White Widow - His nearest rival slipped up a bit and he's now 20 goals ahead again. He scored 22 goals this season for Lorient in 29 games and 3 in 4 for Bahamas. He is currently considering a contract offer from Lorient, who finished 5th in the league.
Nick Adam - At.Madrid, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Sampdoria

Will post about the Asian Nations and Gold Cup in a bit. Also if any news comes through about Chopper or Des Morgan, i'll post it up.
Wow he's getting worse better pick it up next season!
I don't know where Kwesi thinks he's going... he's valued at a ridiculous sum of money though.
Hmmm Radakovic is continuing at 1 goal in every 2 games, but he is a long way off the top of the table. He needs something to stop the top guys scoring, or to drop down a level, though all of his goals have been for Lazio or Serbia, not a single other club yet. Would like a move though.
What a woeful season, hopefully I can pick up and reach 100 international goals soon
Very happy with how things are going. Slowly moving up the table and former team mate Swinburn is in my sights now.
Awful season... Hope for more games next year or a move.
Really looks like I'm going to struggle to reach 200 goals, still over 60 to go and at the rate I'm going it could take a while to get there.
Going to holiday to September now, hopefully we'll have at least 3 transfers to mention (Nick Adam, Chopper and Des Morgan) and we'll find out how South Korea did in the Asian Nations and Jamaica in the Gold Cup.
Terrible second half of the season there.
Hey CB, good to know I've had one of my better seasons in a while but I've noticed an error in the totals for my player.
I was on 203 goals after the February update and the 8 goals scored in between February until the end of season have not been added to the scoreboard.
Should be on 211 and jump 2 place up the leaderboard I think.
Solidly mid-table there I suppose. Career has really stagnated, especially when you consider Doustourian's been playing in Ukraine most of the time against what ought to be slightly second-rate defences compared to those who've ended up in England and Italy.
Jamaica only made it to the Quarter finals of the Gold Cup.
Chopper has been released by Shakhtar and is looking for a new club, unfortunately non are interested at the moment. Des Morgan has also left Genoa and Grosetto and Malaga are interested at the moment.
How on earth did Mella (and, ultimately, Malta) score 11 in 6 games! We can't have been playing anyone decent!
(p.s 1000th post )
Haha, he is pretty much the only player scoring for Malta, unfortunately the goals are usually 1 or 2 in a loss, he got 2 hat-tricks though last season. Also Malta could qualify for Euro 2024, they are 3rd in a group of 5, 5 points behind with 3 games remaining, against Leichestein (easy win), Belgium(team in 2nd, could be tough) and Montenegro (drew previously, could win).
Mella is actually joint top scorer in the Euro qualifiers at the minute too.
For some reason, holidaying is going really slow so far, it did a month in 2 hours :S usually much quicker than that.
Into August now and the two players without a club, are still without a club and no interested teams for either now. Hope they don't retire.
Anyway, going out now, so find out later on sometime.
There has been a money transfer :O find out who and where soon.
September 2023
First thing to mention is that South Korea finished 3rd place in the Asian Nations Cup.
The next thing to mention is that we've had a transfer. It's Stuart Shaw, he's left Everton after spending 10 seasons with them, but he's staying in England. He's joined Man Utd for £27m.
The bad news is that Chopper and Des Morgan are yet to find a club. Not sure what will happen there.
And now injury news:
Arie Kanarie has spent 3 weeks out already and will spend the next 2 months out with a torn hamstring.
It's the same for Igor Kesina who has also torn his hamstring and will be out for 2 months.
Jordan Swinburn has spent the last 5 weeks out with strained knee ligaments, but should be returning in 5 days.
And lastly Thomas Weir has had a week out with a groin strain and has another week until he's back to playing.
Was kinda hoping Bowmanaggio would've moved there, Getting sick of being at Porto now
How did long tym do at the Asian cup?
He only got 2 goals and got injured twice, so not bad, but not too good really.
Chopper now has staff attributes, meaning he'll be retiring no doubt, same will probably happen for Des Morgan.
What i might have to do is find a regen with the same or near enough the same amount of goals at around the same age, might be hard to find though.
I'll happily start my managerial career.
Did my guy play in the Asian Cup?
I saw Australia were in it, so i assume so. Not sure why i havn't mentioned it to you though, will get it done soon.
I've been thinking, when players become managers/assistants i might let them change a few stats. Also there is no guarantee of a job after you retire from playing.
Finally Chopper has found himself a club. He still has his staff attributes, but he'll be playing haha, maybe he'll become a player/coach or something. He'll find out his club in the next update, hopefully before the Carling Cup final kicks off.
Unfortunately no club for Des Morgan just yet, hopefully by February.
Oh, i was wrong about Chopper, he's joined the club as a Youth Coach
Instead of a regen, i'm just going to retire the player, it works better for me and for awards etc.
Plus i'm not sure i want the regen thing to happen, or this game will never end then.
I'll do the update then an end of playing career post for Chopper.

Chopper Takes An Early Retirement
Having not found a club for 6 months, he decided it was better to move onto coaching.

Injuries weren't available because he'd already retired, hopefully i can get everyone elses.
Update will probably be later on now.
Going to work on the update now. Also FMRTE seems to have stopped working for some reason, so i can't change Choppers attributes at the moment.
Edit: it's working now so i can sort something out. I'll probably make all staff the same, so it's fair again, the only difference being some will have more time. So Choppers staff attributes will be different in June.
The main reason for changing staff attributes will be so they can get on with being a manager and not stay as a coach for the rest of their careers, and as the sign up is mainly about the goals, it doesn't matter too much i can make them as good or bad as i want.

Here are the Euro 2024 groups while you wait.
I can't believe Chopper retired at 28 years old, that's when you're supposed to be peaking! Wasted potential if you ask me...
Yeah, unfortunately i think it might end up happening to Des Morgan too.
The thing is, both players are easily good enough for most teams, surely a championship side or something would be interested.

February 2024
Nick Adam - It's actually worse for Nick now as he isn't getting games for Australia and may not make the 100 goals he wants. He's only got 1 goal in 4 sub appearances for Marseille so far this season. He is considering his options.
Bakra - Backra is Back(ra) in the first 11 now and has made 21(3) appearances for Feyenoord and got himself 13 goals. He's played well for Holland this season too, scoring 5 in 5(2). 17 more goals for 250 career goals.
Jimmio Bowmanaggio - Jimmio missed 3 weeks of football but really he just isn't being played much anymore. So far this season he's only played 8(1) games and he's scored 6 goals. No games or goals for Italy. 9 more goals for 250.
Rocky Brittus - It's not a good season for Rocky really with just 4 goals scored in 6(5) for Vitesse and 2 in 3(2) for Holland. He's currently unhappy at the club and wants a new challenge. He is also out injured for up to 2 weeks.
Chopper - As we know now, Chopper couldn't find himself a club and has decided to join Portuguese side Nacional as a Youth Coach. Hopefully he'll become a manager somewhere else as soon as possible. He got 2 goals for Chile before retiring.
Matthew Cooper - Matthew is playing quite well for Arsenal, but is still being used as a rotation player. He's scored 9 goals so far in 12(12) games. He needs 30 goals to reach his next milestone of 250 career goals.
Josh Crane - No idea why Josh signed a new contract, but he did. He's played just 4(3) games for Inter this season and has scored just 1 goal. He broke his ribs earlier in the season and missed 3 weeks of football too.
Whoopski Deeski - Whoopski is struggling to find the net this season with just 8 goals scored in 23(2) games for Spartak. He's got 1 in 2(3) games for Bulgaria too. He is enjoying playing for the club and needs 4 goals for 150.
Edmond Doustourian - Edmond is playing ok but would probably have hoped for more goals. Just 8 so far this season in 19 games played for Dnipro. He's got 4 in 5 for Armenia too. Edmond is enjoying playing for the club.
Simone Finke - Simone is playing quite well for Bremen still with 9 goals in 18(1) games and is just 3 goals away from 150 career goals. He will strive to help the club current league position, which is 12th.
Ben Goldsmith - Ben is playing from the bench quite a lot this season, but will just be happy to be getting goals after last season. He's got 9 so far from 6(11) games and now has over 200 career goals. Happy to stay at the club.
Alejandro Hernandez - Not having a great season, but it's not too bad. 8 goals scored so far in 21(2) games for Xerez. He needs 18 more goals if he's to reach 250 career goals and he is enjoying playing for the club.
Arie Kanarie - Arie missed 3 months of action but has played 12(2) games since and scored 7 goals for Arsenal and 1 in 3 for Holland. He is happy to stay at the club and thinks Agwa Toko is a good player.
Igor Kesina - Igor is another player that has spent 3 months out already this season. He's not doing too bad since returning, with 6 goals in 11 games for Lille and 1 in 1 for Croatia. He is considering his options and wants to leave.
David Le Soire - Isn't having the usual amazing season, mainly due to Zurichs lack of European football. He's got 12 goals in 18 games so far for his club and 6 in 5 for his country. He's now over 400 career goals, but is 28 goals behind again.
Aidan LFC - It's another poor season for Aidan so far with 6(17) games for Bolton and 6 goals scored. He needs 25 goals if he's to reach 200 career goals. He is happy to stay at the club.
Long Tym Toon Jr. - Is still a bench player for Real Sociedad, with 9(12) games player and 6 goals scored. However he has been playing well for South Korea with 13 goals in 11(3) games. He now has over 100 caps.
Jason McIllmurray Jr. - Jason is having a pretty average season so far, with 11 goals scored for Dortmund in 23 games played. He's got 3 in 7 for N.Ireland too. Jason now has over 250 career goals.
Silvio Mella - Silvio seems to have been dropped from the PSG squad, with just 1(1) games played all season and 1 goal scored. He's played 6 for Malta without scoring too. Fiorentina are interested in signing him and he'd be glad to move there.
Des Morgan - Des is still looking for a new club, but for some reason none are interested, which is weird since he'd fit into most teams really. He has scored 8 goals for Jamaica anyway, moving him off the bottom of the table for now.
Jamie O'Connor - Jamie is at the bottom of the table for now having scored no goals this season in 2(1) games played for Spurs. He's unhappy again and wants to leave, but will end up signing a new contract at the end of the season.
Kwesi Owusu - Kwesi is having a great season so far for Chelsea, scoring 18 goals in 24(2) games played. He needs just 4 more goals to reach 250 career goals, somewhere he never thought he'd be. He is enjoying playing for the club.
Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - Quique is having a good season too and has scored over 350 career goals now. He's played 30(2) for Atlas, scoring 18 goals so far and 4 in 9 for Jamaica. Atlas were runners up in the Opening Stage.
Aleksander Radakovic - It's a very poor season for Aleksander so far, scoring just 3 goals in 15 games for Lazio. He's got 2 in 4 for Serbia and will be hoping to go to Euro 2024. He wants to leave the club too having spent 11 years there.
Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - What a difference a small break inbetween seasons can make. He's now transfer listed and loan listed at Stoke and has played just 1(2) games, scoring 2 goals, but he is determined to prove his worth to the club.
Mathew Schneider - Matthew is playing well so far for Valencia, scoring 16 goals in 11(10) games. He's got 4 goals in 7 for Israel too. He is enjoying playing for the club and is now 10 goals away from 350 career goals.
Stuart Shaw - Stuart is only really playing in the league for his new club, but he's made an impact, scoring 16 goals in 20(1) appearances. He's also got 4 in 7 for Scotland. He is enjoying playing for the club.
Murt Shepard - Murt is playing well still for Bordeaux, scoring 17 goals for the club in 24(1) games. He's played 5 games for Ireland too, scoring 6 goals. He is now just 1 goal away from scoring 300 career goals.
Cristian Sirera - Cristian is mainly playing from the bench again this season, but he has almost passed his goals tally from last season. He's got 9 so far from 7(13) games. He needs 3 goals to reach 200 career goals.
Tom Skull - Tom is playing ok, but needs to get scoring more goals if he's to better his last few seasons. He's got 14 so far for Valencia from 23(4) games. He's got 3 goals in 5 games for England too. He has now scored over 350 career goals.
Mario Spehar - Mario isn't playing all the time, but it's looking better than last season so far. He's played 13(1) games for Inter and he's scored 6 goals. He's scored 4 goals in 6 games for Croatia.
Jordan Swinburn - Jordan is struggling a bit this season, but he has missed 6 weeks due to injury at the start of the season. He's played 14(1) games so far and got 8 goals for Napoli. He's also scored 6 in 4 for Italy.
The Mad Scot - Mr Consistant, never gone under double figures for a season and he won't be doing so this season. He's got 14 so far from 29(2) games for Celtic. He's played 1(1) for Scotland without a goal.
Thomas Weir - Thomas isn't having a great season so far with just 7 goals scored for Chelsea in 10(8) games. He has been in good form for Scotlland though, scoring 7 in his last 5(1) games.
White Widow - White Widow has been in good form for both club and country. He's now on 132 international goals, with 11 of them coming in the last 6 games. He's scored 14 goals for Lorient in 20(3) games and is just 7 away from the next milestone.
Silvio Mella - Fiorentina
Chopper - Free to Nacional da Madeira as a Youth Coach
Stuart Shaw - Everton to Man U for £27m

arghhh fekety feck i wish i could at atleast play a full season for one club
Des Morgan retired without becoming staff luckily i have it saved at February and i can try and sort things out, at least try and get him to become staff.
Been waiting for a move from Stoke all these years and finally (hopefully ) happening!
Des Morgan Retires From Playing
Having not found a club, like Chopper, he's gone for an early retirement too.Having not found a club for 6 months, he decided it was better to move onto coaching.

There is no way i can make him into staff unfortunately, so i'm not really sure what to do here. I'm going to holiday until the day before he retires(as i know he will) and then sort something out tomorrow.
I think if players don't become staff that's fine too, just let the game play it out as it will and see who takes on managers jobs and who doesn't, especially as it doesn't affect the goals at all.
I'm pleased Mella has finally got some interest, hopefully Fiorentina act. They're my favourite Italian team too
Yeah, i guess it's what would happen and i'm thinking of making a manager sign up or something after i finish this one. I'll still make the ones that do turn into staff better and see how it goes
Yeeesh, that's a tough Euro group for Croatia.
Not the best start to the season for Spehar, either - could do with a move away from Inter, really.
Unfortunately there is nothing i can do about Des Morgan, so we're just going to have to carry on, sorry.
He even rejected a contract from Venezia :S
Wtf? I must have been a proper greedy bugger to not be able to secure a single contract offer. If I had an agent he needs a good kicking. Just short of 200 goals as well.
But to be honest, after those two 3 month injuries I had my attributes took a bit of a nosedive. Still good enough to play for loads of teams though, so not sure what's going on there. Ah well, is there an award for first to retire
Lets hope my coaching career is more eventful than my playing career.


text:
I am an Australian currently on a Netherlands working holiday visa that ends in May next year. I would like to know if when my visa ends I then get another 90 days just as a regular tourist visa as I would like to do some more travel within Europe when my visa ends before going home to Australia.
I had the same situation as you. I decided to leave the Schengen area when my work visa expired (hopped over to London for the weekend) and came back through Paris. I had no trouble at border control with getting an entry stamp, and the border agent hardly looked at my expired visa.
So I don't know whether you can automatically get the 90 days, but at least in my case, I got the 90 days after a trip to the UK.
My relevant question on SE is here.
I asked an Australian and this was their response:
Exiting Schengen and reentering does not seem to be a requirement to make your stay valid.
[EDIT] However, I just found that the French Consulate in Sydney specifically says you should leave Schengen and reenter, suggesting to go to the UK :
[end EDIT]
As other answers show it, it is possible to spend up to 90 days inside the Schengen area for tourism purpose even if you had a long-stay visa before.
This is only experience and is not an authoritative source, but a friend (who does not need a visa for short stay) recently ended her stay on a student visa in France. She decided to stay for tourism afterwards. She did not leave the Schengen until more than 10 days after her student visa expired (with an exit stamp showing the date). She entered Schengen area and exited twice soon after, and never had any issue with immigration (who barely checked her visa the second time). She crossed the border at different places in Europe, making it relatively obvious she was traveling (and not working for example).
Therefore, even though the Consulate of France in Sydney says otherwise, as quoted above, it appears likely that exiting and reentering to have exit and entry stamps showing the stays are separate is not a requirement. It seems possible to have continuously a long-stay visa and a short stay (if no short-stay visa is necessary), but I would recommend to leave Schengen if possible. I suppose that any proof that you are not working (e.g. a document showing the end of a contract) would help, in case the border police is suspicious.
Best place to ask this is IND (http://english.ind.nl/contact/), since you are already in Netherlands, the phone call costs €0.10 per min. They will for sure give you a solid and legally correct answer. In such matters, I would only trust the official authority.
As an Australian citizen, you do not need (and could not get) a Schengen visa but you can indeed visit the Schengen area for 90 days, visa-free, after the end of your working holiday visa. The relevant regulation is the Schengen Borders Code and in particular article 5:
According to this (unofficial) website you can only apply for a Schengen visa while holding a residence permit up to 3 months before the permit ends, preventing exactly the thing you want to do. But that's for the UK, which is not a full Schengen member. And you're from Australia, so you don't actually need a visa to stay in the Schengen area as a tourist.
Interestingly, Australians also don't need a visa to stay in the (non-Schengen) UK, so a loophole might be to first go to the UK and then enter the Schengen area as a tourist.
But all in all this is a pretty special case and I'd suggest you ask the Australian embassy about this.
To corroborate what Paulinchen2 said:
From the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) website:
From the FAQ regarding residence permits (emphasis mine):
And from the FAQ regarding holidays longer than three months:
The wording and language seems pretty clear to me, although your exact situation hasn't been discussed. So, unfortunately for you, the answer seems to be that it's not possible unless you already have a Dutch resident permit (unlikely, as you only need it if you are staying for more than 90 days, and your current visa is valid for only three months).
I am 99.9% sure that it gives you no extra time.
The 90 days you refer to is the maximum duration of stay without a visa. As an Australian you can apply for a tourist visa in the Schengen Zone.

Which special characters are safe to use in url?
The safe characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _ - (underscore and minus), that besides the reserved characters who are used for the parameters.
Other characters will give problems in some degree. example: if one parameter is an array
But the problem is not only it's ugly, lets say you have a jpg with a character beside the safer ones, many times the browser will be unable to download it getting a 404. This is a problem of older browsers and some mobile browsers.
How to test this?
I have an inbox with 14000 emails proving my point.
The following characters have special meaning in the path component of your URL (the path component is everything before the '?'):
In addition to those, the following characters have special meaning in the query part of your URL (everything after '?'). Therefore, if they are after the '?' you need to escape them:
For a more in-depth explanation, see the RFC.
The answers here are good, but there is one more exception I think is worth mentioning - non-english characters. Referencing this SF question here, characters like ñ (as in Español) are perfectly legitimate, IF they have been encoded in your DNS correctly.
You have to use Punycode within your DNS to get them to resolve in modern browsers (the entry for español is

Hello to All,
I am a new member here, wanted to say hello to all and inform that a few hours back I received my NN5L after a long wait of nearly one month, well the delay is from our customs department procedures.
Any way I am exited, as the equation is complete with NN5Ls arrival , as I had DSLR,sigma8mm (also Nikon 10.5mm) ,Tripod and all necessary SWs to make spherical panos except the pano head.
Where do I get some data on setting NN5L with Nikon D40x with sigma 8mm combination ?
Thanks for any help in advance

Singapore based artist Robert Zhao Renhui is the Institute of Critical Zoologists, an organization that — for any Doctor Who fans out there — would be the environmental analogue to the Torchwood Institute.  The fictional Torchwood was founded to protect the Earth from supernatural and extraterrestrial threats; with that mandate in hand its employees must remain open and unperturbed by a myriad of strange and uncanny possibilities within the universe. Shrouded in secrecy, however, it attempts to perpetuate the myth of everyday banality, to keep their fellow human citizens free from fear. Although similarly invested in strange zoological proclivities of our non-human fellows, the ICZ is not a secret society. It delves into the multifarious world around us to expose the strange assumptions  humanity takes for granted about its surrounding landscape. Working primarily as a photographer, Renhui blends fact and fiction to emphasize the idiosyncratic relations between animals, their habitats, and the humans that categorize them. While the result is ecologically minded,  the dominant effect is uncanny. The ICZ affectively unearths little understood behavioral habits of animals and re-presents them within gallery settings as representational photography, encyclopedic texts, and multimedia installations. Currently ICZ currently has an exhibit, The Last Thing You See, up at 2902 Gallery in Singapore until January 5th that examines the act of sight. By demonstrating the shift in perception that would result from a sensitivity to ultraviolet light, ICZ reveals a world familiar to insects while being totally divorced from human experience. ICZ is going to appear in an upcoming series of shows I'm curating at Gallery 400 and La Box.
Caroline Picard:Â How did the Institute of Critical Zoologists (ICZ) come about and what does "animal spectatorship" mean?
Robert Zhao Renhui: The ICZ came about mainly because of my interest with photography and animals. A long time ago, I was involved with animal rights activism. At that point of time, I was curious with how photography was used in animal activism. I contributed a lot of photographs to talk about the plight of animals living in captivity in Asia. I got too emotional and personally involved at one point. On the other hand, I was also using photographs to create my own fictional narratives about humans and animals. In college, my tutor asked me to look at my photographic narratives with my concerns of animals rights together, instead of two separate projects. Slowly, the ICZ took shape. Animal spectatorship, in my work, is very much about the conditions of looking and understanding animals.
CP: I feel like you're interested in the way things are visible and invisible — for instance how a human can all but disappear in a suit of leaves, or what a spider's web looks like in ultraviolet light, can you talk more about how this series of works came together.
RZR: My interests are very much shaped by my medium, photography. Photography has always been about a way of seeing. In this exhibition, I was interested in how not seeing is as important as seeing. For the longest time, nobody knew why certain spiders weave distinctive markings on their webs. It isn't logical for spiders to make these markings because then they render an otherwise hard-to-see web visible. Scientists came up with a theory that the markings are made to warn larger animals to not walk into the spider web and destroy it. In other words, the insect trap had a defense mechanism.  It was not only recently that we realised that most insects see in the UV spectrum, a visual spectrum invisible to humans. Under UV light, the web mimics the shape of a flower. These markings are also visible on flowers in UV light. A spider web that wants to be a flower. I like that idea. A mimic and an invisible trap. Like a photograph.
CP: Traps come up in several of your works —  I'm thinking of your bee trap for instance, or the wolf trap — in both instances I feel like you're somehow able to tap into an animal semiotics, almost, using the bee's attraction to blue to bring them into the gallery, or using the wolf's appetite for blood to disguise its sense of pain. What draws you to traps?Â
RZR: Michel Foucault said that "visibility is a trap.†He meant it in the case of the Panopticon, a prison where the all the inmates were visible to one another, hence creating a system of totalitarian, mutual surveillance. I've been thinking a lot about this statement, but with the trap not relating to the observed, but the observer. Visibility is a trap because we imagine we know a lot through empirical evidence. But what is beyond the visible? Even my interest with animal traps is linked to my interest with photography. A photograph can trap us rather than liberate us. Seeing can be dangerous and misleading because we always have an eye out for the truth. It narrows our vision and the price to pay is not really knowing the bigger picture. That's how animals get trapped –  they fail to see beyond what is already presented to them.
CP:Â You have a book that just came out! How long did it take for you to make it? What does it contain?
RZR:Â A Guide to the Flora and Fauna of the World is an encyclopedia of man-made nature. It started of with the goldfish. Why doesn't the goldfish have a scientific name? Why is it not included in any natural history encyclopedia? Today, the goldfish is a very common fish and in China, they recently held a competition for the World Goldfish Queen. I wanted to find out if there was a book that the goldfish can exist in other than a decorative aquarium trade fish. I started looking at other aquarium fishes that were artificial and slowly branched out into other animals and plants affected by aesthetic modification, ecological conservation, pollution, evolution and genetic-modification. It took me about a year to create the volume. Included in the book are my past projects like Acusis and A heartwarming feeling. So you can say the book has almost 3 years of my research. At the end of the book (there are about 3 books in this book, all housed in a box) there is a book that talks about Tropical Bonsai, specifically the Banana Bonsai Plant. My father keeps a dwarfed banana bonsai plant of 6 years at 15cm tall. Bonsai is the art of miniaturising trees. It is man controlling nature in a very obvious and aesthetic way. There are rules to create bonsai and there are also rules to view bonsai. There are front views, side views and back views. This is a very important part of the book. Â It offers a way to think about the way we have controlled nature. As a species, we have always defined and controlled the way nature existed with us and this is nothing new. Brocolli and Cauliflower are not natural although we have become so familiar with them. Man has always determined what nature should look and feel like. The way we think and look at Bonsai may offer us a way to contemplate our complicated existence with nature.

Specs and Tester's Tester Comments
Twenty years ago, I worked with a Makita 9.6-volt pistol-grip drill/driver, a standout among cordless tools of the time. Since those early models, things have come a long way: more powerful motors; keyless, one-handed chucks; variable-speed triggers; automatic brakes; and batteries that just keep improving. Another advancement has been the addition of a hammerdrill function to many standard drill/drivers. Because it doesn't add much weight, size, or cost, many are opting for the purchase of a convenient, all-in-one cordless hammerdrill/driver, even if masonry drilling is not going to be the tool's primary function. It's just nice to have the versatility.
My company builds and installs historic and custom millwork for commercial and residential projects. In our work, it seems there are no standard tasks. Whether it's driving screws, drilling through old bricks, or boring holes in hardwoods, we need cordless drill/drivers that are versatile and powerful. And as I rely on my crew every day to get the job done right, I also relied on them as my tool test team, providing a valuable blend of opinions and many years of experience.
We tested 15 tools: the Bosch 13618-2G, DeWalt DC925KA, Fein ASB18, Festool TDK15.6CE, Firestorm FSX18HD, Hilti SFH181-A 3.0, Hitachi DV18DL, Makita BHP451, Metabo SBP18 Plus, Milwaukee 0824-24, Moty-Ko 18HD, Panasonic EY6950GQKW, Porter-Cable 9987, Ridgid R8411503, and Ryobi P201.
All these tools are 18-volters, except the Porter-Cable, which is 19.2 volts, and the Festool, which is 15.6 volts. All the models have hammerdrilling capabilities except the Ryobi and the Festool. The Hitachi, Makita, and Milwaukee tools have lithium-ion batteries and the Hilti and Panasonic tools have NiMH. All the rest are powered by nicad batteries.
In my opinion, the most important qualities to look for in a drill/driver are professional power, proper balance, and a comfortable feel in-use. The tools that did best in our test balanced all three qualities.
In order to see which tools had the best combination of performance and ergonomics, we worked them hard on the job and in the shop in a battery of tests. We tested for feel, comfort, and speed by driving screws, we tested power by boring 2-9/16-inch holes into a slab of walnut, and we checked out balance throughout. We evaluated the test results and considered each tool's features to determine a winner.
All the tools in the group have a 1/2-inch chuck, which has become the new standard; a 3/8-inch chuck is too small for larger bits and heavier work. All of the hammerdrill/drivers in the test come with a side handle, great for controlling large bits and heavier work.
Thankfully, all the tools have an automatic brake that activates the moment you release the trigger. This great feature speeds production because you can immediately change bits or start the next screw instead of waiting for the chuck to stop spinning. Another feature common to all is an automatic locking spindle, which allows you to loosen or tighten the chuck with one hand. Gone are the days of trying to fit both hands on a small plastic chuck to crank down on a bit.
Makita and Hitachi both feature an onboard task light. This is great if you ever work in dark spaces (even just a cabinet) and need to place your driver on a screw head or accurately drill a hole. Makita's light is activated by pulling the trigger, and it remains lit for about 10 seconds after release. The Hitachi light is manually activated by an on/off button on its moveable belt clip and can be aimed. The Makita also has a belt hook. Both are great details that other brands should offer.
Another feature we rely on is the easily overlooked onboard bit storage. In old houses, we always seem to need at least three different driver bits, and it is convenient to have them right on the tool and ready to change without digging through pouches or pockets. This may seem like a little thing, but we save lots of time and frustration by having bits situated where we can grab them and go.
The compact Festool model has three interesting drive options. Besides the chuck, it comes with a snap-in bit holder that saves some weight, but only fits special bits. Removing the holder allows you to click standard bits directly into the drive spindle and shave 2 inches off the length of the tool, making it a full 4 inches shorter than most of the tools and the lightest by far. Additional offset, right-angle, and depth-setting bit holders, available separately, also fit this tool.

I've just started using Awesome WM, but I miss a lot of stuff from the Unity panel: the logout buttons, the message menu, etc. Is there a way to get these into the Awesome WM panel?
As far as i know, its not possible to add the actual indicators from Unity into Awesome's panel, but you can add things to Awesome's panel by configuring its text based config file. the Awesome wiki has more details about this: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Awesome_3_configuration
Basically you can add text, widgets and such, but not indicators.

The Carmi-White County Junior High School Bullpups played host to the Albion Lions Thursday, Nov. 14 at Washington Attendance Center. The seventh grade squad struggled from the start, dropping their game, but the eighth grade team overpowered their opponents for an easy win.
In the seventh grade game, Albion got out to an early lead, outscoring the Bullpups 8-2 in the first quarter. The deficit seemed to be too much for the Bullpups to make up as they headed to the locker room at half trailing 22-7. In the third quarter, the team came out on fire and put up some great defense and had some great looks, but they had trouble connecting for points. They also struggled to contain the Lions, who rallied for 15 points in the third quarter. The seventh grade team ended the game with a loss 41-11 and they move to 2-3 on the season.
Jace Carter was the leading scorer for the Bullpups with 6 points followed by Josh Baker with 2 points, Will Pugsley with 2 points and Cooper Craig with 1 point. The team is coached by Denny Anderton.
In eighth grade action, the Bullpups were hot from the start, ending the first quarter on a 23-4 run that kept the Lions chained up the entire game. Dominance continued before the half, with the Bullpups scoring 13 points to bring the halftime score to 36-10.
The Bullpups slowed down the pace in the second half and went on to a strong win of 54-28.
Tommy Thompson connected for 11 points to lead all eighth grade Bullpup scorers. He was followed closely by Easton Stewart, who added 10 points. Justin Lamp brought in 8 points for the team with Mitchell Nelson adding 6.
Other Bullpup scorers included Colton Yates (5 points), Dylan Jacoby (4 points), Bryce Northcott (4 points), Travis Black (4 points) and Cole Carter (2 points).
The eighth grade team is coached by Marcus Lynn and now stands at 3-3.
The CWCJHS Bullpups will be back in action Monday, Nov. 25 and will travel to Harrisburg for a 6 p.m. game.

Our hot water is hot sometimes, but not always. For example I might be able to fill up a tub with hot water one morning, but the next morning the water might be cold. This is our first home and when we bought it the water heater was already old. If we need a new one is it hard to install?
For starters, check for leaks. A hot water heater that can't consistently heat water is likely either a) leaking or b) has a faulty heating element.
Hot water heaters typically have a 10 year lifespan. There should be a date somewhere on the tank. If you're handy with electrical (or gas) and plumbing, it's not a big deal to swap out. If you're not, you'll want to bring in a plumber.
If you do want to bring in a plumber, then hire one BEFORE the heater springs a major leak. Emergency rates for a plumber are not fun. ;)
Note that all hot water heaters have something called a 'sacrificial anode' that you can replace regularly to extend the life of the tank. It's a rod of metal that will corrode saving the tank, itself. That said, very few replace them...even people like me, that know I should. ;) But it is a relatively cheap way to extend the life of the tank.
Hot water heaters generally last a LOOONG time if properly maintained. Mine is original to a 30-year-old house and still works great.
Intermittent hot water is usually one of two things; a faulty heating element, or slow overall heating coupled with demand elsewhere. If your wife or kids took a shower before you ran your bath, they may have drained the tank of hot water leaving none for you. A faulty heating element could heat one day and then not the next; more often it will work and not work in fits and starts throughout the day.
The first thing to try is flushing the tank. Over time, sediment can build up on the bottom of the tank and reduce the effectiveness of the primary (lower) heating element. Most HWHs have a purge valve at the bottom for exactly this purpose; hook up a standard garden hose and run it outside, then open the purge valve and let the water flow for a minute, maybe two. You should do this once every year or two; it's part of basic HWH maintenance.
The next thing to try is replacing the heating elements. This will require shutting off the water to the whole house (unless you have shutoffs to the tank itself) and draining the tank, then cutting the tank's breaker. Install the new element (you'll need to know either the model of your HWH or the part number for the specific element you're replacing when shopping) and turn everything back on.
If you have to replace the HWH it's usually not a monumental job (depending on the location of the heater in your home; the plumbing connections are usually readily accessible, and worst-case (when the lines aren't "flexible" piping and the connections on the new heater don't match the old) you'll only have to disassemble said plumbing back to where the connections comes out of the wall. However, you will have to shut off the water to the entire house (EDIT: most HWH installations have a supply shut-off, either a screw-type faucet or a 90-degree ball valve, which if that's still in good condition will allow you to avoid turning off the house water as long as nobody turns on hot and cold water at the same time from any faucet), and you may have to drain the lines if your home is two-story or the HWH is in the basement, which can require a few buckets or bus tubs. Then you disconnect the old HWH from power and water connections (it's usually helpful to mark where everything went on the old heater so you know what's what), drain and remove the old heater, put the new heater in place, and reconnect, using teflon tape to seal threaded connections. You'll need to make sure when shopping that the new HWH doesn't have power requirements exceeding the existing circuit; 9 times out of 10 the HWH is one of the larger dual-pole breakers and should be easy to find. Take the amperage rating, printed on either of the ganged switches on the dual-pole breaker (for instance 30), multiply that by 220 (6,600), then multiply by .8 (5,280). The wattage requirement of your new HWH should not exceed this number.
Overall, it's on the upper edge of the average homeowner's capabilities; not as difficult (or engineering-dependent) as knocking out a wall, more difficult than hooking up a washer/dryer, somewhere approaching replacing a faucet and sink.
If you don't think you can handle it or don't want to deal, a lot of your larger appliance stores (Lowe's, Sears, HD) have installation services on major appliances such as HWHs. Lowe's doesn't say specifically what it'd cost you, but they'll install an entire home's worth of blinds for $120, and to my way of thinking that'd require more man-hours than hooking up a HWH. Ask before you buy; it may be free, it may be $200.
This is long solved I hope, almost a year later, but for people searching Google, I had the same problem once and it was the thermostat (that read the water temperature and turned on the element) that was shot. It took the technician maybe 20 minutes to replace it.

How can the permutation that takes
{-f, -i, i, -e} into
{-e, -i, i, -f} be realised as a sequence of nearest neighbour transpositions?
In this case the succession could be
{{-e, i}, {-e, -i}, {-e, -f}, {-i, -f}, {i, -f}}
The transposition operation has the following peculiarity: the transposition
{-f, -i} leaves
{-f, -i, i, -e} unchanged since
-f and
-i are already in the right order.
I'm interested in the (or a) shortest sequence of transpositions. Often there is more then one shortest sequence.
