Media Prediction: 12th
Board: Top Half Finish 21M/715K P/M
FA Cup: 1/4 Final
Carling Cup: Blood youngsters
Overall Aim: Get more consistency with results throughout the season which will be achieved through a more consistent line up.
I really need to strengthen this season by adding some quality players to the team. I did so by bringing in four new first team players in the form of Lee Wallace (8M), John Fleck (6.5M), Shikabala (3.4M) and Simone Padoin (3M), spending all of my 21M budget. Hopefully these signings add stability to the first eleven and give me more consistency throughout the year. Tommy Martin a hot prospect at RB also came into the team for only 7K, who knows why he was so cheap?
Not much to comment on here apart from some decent results, whilst again we went on a tour of Germany in where we seem so popular.
Only 6 games in and I'm unbeaten and sit in third place, which is my best start to a season so far. This has been down to great performances from new signings from Rangers, John Fleck and Lee Wallace. A good 1-1 draw with Chelsea shows the progression we've made as a team since last season.
A chance to play some fringe players and young players came and they have done well so far, winning both games against Bury and Aston Villa 3-0.
Good start with solid signings.
Looking good! Lets hope you keep up the good performances or the board wont be happy!
Some room for improvement after previous seasons.
John Fleck he's the scottish Freddy Adu in my eyes, been around a bloody age and still a hot prospect on most games. Good start to season
Fleck may turn out to be a good signing for you. Hopefully you'll be back in the top half next season
I had one deal agreed throughout the season in time for the January window. This signing was a 25 year old Daniel Sturridge who had become unhappy at the lack of first team opportunities at Chelsea. He gives us another option up front as well as being an Inside Forward from the AML position.
I havent, yet again, been able to string a good set of results together. I had a brilliant start to the season sitting around the CL spots but then I slowly faded off and now sit in a lacklustre 9th not far from Southampton but well off 6th place, again. I havent got a consistent striker that will bang in the goals all season long.
I reached the Quarter Finals again, bowing out to Liverpool 3-1 but not before I had comeback to beat Newcastle 4-3 in ET, in the previous round. Its a Man Utd v Man City final, should be interesting.
It has only just kicked off but I was handed an easy third round tie with Fleetwood winning 3-0 then progressing onto another easy tie in the form of Rotherham, beating them 2-1. It wasnt so easy after all.
John Fleck Hes my top scorer in the league and has been worth every penny I spent on him, although he has gotten two straight red cards so far this season.
Andras Nagy Hes not quite the finished article yet but he will eventually get there and hopefully be very lethal for me.
Tom Cairney Just been a really consistent performer.
Sturridge is a good signing, no doubt about that. John Fleck has developed rather well in your save - he's just not that good in mine. Andras Nagy is a really exciting prospect, though
You're starting to get somewhere now.
Well what a season of up and downs, with poor performances in the league whilst doing pretty well in the league. The club is apparently struggling for money at the moment too so it seems as if I will have to offload a few players in order to bring us back into the money.
Another disappointing season in the league, in where we only finished in 8th but perhaps that can be called an achievement based on last seasons position. All throughout the season we struggled to find any consistency in our results which ultimately led to our downfall.
Winners!!! Yes, you should have seen me when we clinched a 1-0 victory over Arsenal after they had only days earlier beaten us 4-0 in the league as well as not tasting defeat against us for a total of 8 games! I am so delighted with this win and it is my first trophy as Stoke manager in four years. In terms of tactic for that game I knew that we always seemed to concede a lot of goals against the big sides, especially in the last game against Arsenal. Therefore in the fixtures leading up to the final I played a 5-3-2 in order to sure up the defence and then hit them on the counter attack. This change in tactic definitely made the difference and Arsenal couldn't break us down. This also meant that we're in Europe next year too!
John Fleck – He was one of, if not my best player this season and scored the winning goal in the FA Cup Final, adding to his 12 goals in the league from AM. He also received PFA Young Player of the Year and deservedly so.
Andras Nagy – Another great year for my young striker notching up 18 goals and breaking the record for most goals in a season at Stoke.
Tom Cairney – The young Englishmen, or should I say Scotsmen now, having taken up a Scottish cap was another key performer throughout the season.
Fabian Delph – He really put in some great performances throughout the season, pushing out Palacios in the pecking order.
Daniel Sturridge – Coming in January it is sometimes hard to settle in but Sturridge didn't seem to have any problems.

Nice cup win, that gets you back into Europe next season
Well done on getting back into the top half of the Premier League too.
.Stoke Board Announce New Ten Year Sponsorship Deal
Peter Coates has said that he is delighted to finally be able to gain a new sponsorship deal for the stadium and is delighted that BBC Radio Stoke, have come back on board with the club.
"It's great for the club and shows the progress we are making as a whole community rather than just a football club. New sponsor's such as this one go directly towards developing youth football in the region." Peter Coates claimed.
The deal is said to be worth 2M over 10 years and with this means that all Stoke news, such as transfers and the latest results as well as live coverage of the games, will be covered by BBC Radio Stoke.
BBC Radio Stoke also stated that a new Stoke City by BBC Radio App will be available from the iTunes app store as of today, which will include live streaming of radio and behind the scenes footage.
BBC is also reporting that Britannia have increased their funding to 2M per annum.

Great season there! Good luck in the Europa League
Great cup win. Hope you manage a bit more consistency next term and move a few places up the league
Interesting to see how you do in Europe.
Congrats on the FA Cup win!
Great season from Fleck, i've always found him pretty hit and miss to be honest but this year was certainly a hit!
As if BBC Radio Stoke would fork out £2,000,000 a year.
Excellent Cup win.
As if BBC Radio Stoke would fork out £2,000,000
I'll take your word for that as I have no idea what you are on about!
As you can tell, I've just had a little conversation with Peter Coates.Britannia Stadium set for expansion
The club has stated recently that Britannia Stadium will undergo construction in order to increase its capacity to over 39,000 up from the 32,000 people it now holds.
The expansion costs are expected to cost Peter Coates and the board 9.5M but really shows the rest of the Premier League that Stoke are on the way up, especially after their recent FA Cup win.
However because of the proximity to the recent season the construction work will commence midway through 2016, in order for the club to come up with the funding needed.
Along with the stadium expansion the club also announced that its youth facilities are to be upgraded in line with the schedule for the stadium work.

Great news.
Now Coates has money thanks to the success of Bet 365's online arm of the business.
Media Prediction: 8th
Board: Top Half Finish 9M-715K P/M
FA Cup: 1/4 Final
Carling Cup: N/A
Europa League: 1st Knockout Round
Overall Aim: To push on in the league and make it into the top 7, maybe even breaking into the top 6 which no other team has managed. Europe wise I must make it out of the group stages and with some good results along the way, possibly push for a quarter finals game.
It was a quiet transfer window for me, in terms of buying players with no massive amounts of money being spent. Only two players came into the squad, former Liverpool striker Oscar Cardozo (550K) and youngster Goran Knezovic (1M) adding to the Eastern European influenced side. Firstly, let me explain the signing of Cardozo or rather say what you're probably already thinking. The man has exceptional finishing and composure and is an ideal role model for my young striker Andras Nagy, who he is now tutoring. If Nagy can develop at the rate he has previously done, especially improving his composure, I am sure he can become a great striker for me.
This transfer window also saw me sell a few of my previously signed players. Rasmus Falk, my first signing at the club departed for a cool 7M, making a profit of 5.2M – he just wasn't performing to warrant a place in my team any more. Another of my very first signings, Yassine El Ghanassy also left the club for 2.7M and he was definitely a massive disappointment and showed no evidence of improving. Finally a signing of just two seasons ago, Gary Hooper, left for Tottenham for 6.25M.
In pre-season I let my assistant have a go at controlling the matches and he always seems to play the youngsters. It was somewhat disappointing but it is more about the fitness rather than getting results. I did have one competitive game, playing Man City in the Community Shield and despite dominating we again succumbed to a loss, courtesy of two Dzeko goals who seems to have a habit of scoring against us.
Not much to comment on here, we've only played 4 games and are sat in 11th position whilst the rest of the league have played six games. I'm hoping for some better results as the season progresses.
The third round drew me against newly promoted Premier League side, Cardiff. They were no pushovers and managed to take the game to extra time after forcing a 2-2 result. Then on in I thought I had won with a goal in the 107th minute but then they equalised several minutes later to take the game to penalties. The penalty shootout finished 4-2 to them and sent my young side out.
Maritimo were the team we had to beat in order to progress to the group stages and we duly did so, comfortably winning 7-0 on aggregate. Seeded second for the draw we drew APOEL Nikosia, Dynamo Kyiv and Viktoria Plzen in Group A. The first tie of the group was against APOEL, in sunny Cyprus, where we went onto win 3-1 with goals from Nagy(2) and Fleck. A good start so hopefully we continue to build on it and easily progress through the group.
As a whole I think the squad has reasonable depth but it has been a struggle to attract players of real quality to add to the strength of it. I have no real replacement for Fleck, if he gets a lengthy injury apart from playing a youngster in their or playing someone out of position. What I am pleased with though is the amount of forward options we have in Nagy, Cardozo, Sturridge and Shikabala, who can all play well up there. There was no reason for me to add to the defence as I feel as if I've got enough cover in all areas there with Shawcross, Huth, Situ, Wilson, Hubocan, Mattock, Wallace and Martin.

Apoel and Viktoria Plzen, aren't they in the wrong competition?
Looks like you should have got something against City. Still need a bit of consistency (should have beat Wolves at home) but looks like not conceding too many. At least you have a easy looking Euro group.
Great news on the stadium and i'm liking that Europa League group.
I have a question on Nagy, I can't make my mind up on him looking at the screenshots and I just wondered whether or not you think he has what it takes to be a top player or whether long term (or possibly sooner) you will be looking at replacing him?
I don't know if it's just nostalgia that is tainting my view of him but he seems to have all the right attributes in order for him to become a great poacher. Either way, his value is sky rocketing and I'm sure I'll benefit off him one way or another.
I like the look of Nagy more in the latest picture for sure, I think you are right that he has the chance to be a great poacher and his value now would suggest that for sure. I'm looking forward to seeing how his career develops.
He looks dangerous.
I'd give him a good long run in the first team to see what exactly he can accomplish - that way, you'll know whether to cash in or to develop him further!
Fleck is being a **** and is unhappy with my team talks(one ffs) and has now just gone and missed a training session.
I genuinely go straight for a two weeks' wage fine. If he whinges or misses training again, it's transfer listing.
you need to show who is boss straight away hursty, you need 100% discipline from your squad to find the consistency that your craving this season!
Northern Ireland have just offered me the job as international manager...not sure if I want to go into international management though?
I decided to reject Northern Ireland as they failed to qualify for the Euro's Playoffs and therefore can't even make it into the Euro's.
So effectively I'd just be playing friendlies for a while.
I'd have turned that down too. International management can be a chore at the best of times. I only find it worthwhile/enjoyable if you get to manage at the Euro/World Cup finals
I took over Turkey about the same time you had the NI offer, I just had friendlies for a long while and even now that I am into the qualifiers i'm finding it a bit of a chore at the moment, to the point it's really slowing me down. I think you made the right call in turning it down.
Nagy has poacher written all over him. Not quite literally though.
Scratch that, I've just had a crash dump that lost me 4 games progress.
So international management is still a drag then? I'm still on FM10, but it's a massive ball-ache there. Hate to select players as it's a huge "check profile" exercise
Stoke > Northern Ireland.
I would expect you to qualify easily from that Europa League group; surely just between Kiev and yourselves for first place. Cardoza should be a good signing for you, even at the age of 32.

Exactly what was expected of us, easily making it out of the group unbeaten with five wins and a draw. We had already qualified with two games to go which therefore allowed me to play fringe players, giving first teamers a rest for the PL games ahead. Dereece Upcott a young 18 year old impressed me in the last game, even getting on the scoresheet.
The 1st round knockout drew us up against Group K runners up, Valencia, in what is expected to be a very tough tie for us. They currently sit 9th in La Liga but have a quality squad that will pose a challenge for us. If we do make it through against Valencia we will come up against either AEK Athens or Italian giants Juventus.
Tough challenges ahead I see.
Well done getting through without any hassles though.
Sunny Spain welcomes the Potters
Erm, FM has just predicted the future.
Stoke got Valencia in real life.
Hope it won't complete itself too closely.
Go and beat Valencia, hopefully then Tony Pulis can use your thread in the pre-match team talk.
So far so good this season it seems. Ive managed to progress through the group stages of the Europa whilst doing reasonably well domestically. Ive found a level of consistency that I havent had in previous seasons but its still not been good enough for us to push into the top 6. In the January transfer window I made one signing in the form of Roberto Firmino, he cost me 8M and will challenge Fleck for a spot in the AM role. For now though he is starting there as Fleck his injured and I hope he proves himself because for some reason, I myself have doubts about him. Hopefully not a waste of 8M.
A decent set of results throughout half of the season has meant that we sit in very respectable 7th position. Periods of games in where we couldnt score were the downfall of our season so far and coincidently this was when striker Andras Nagy was injured. Cardozo couldnt score whilst he was out but by the time he was on his way back to full fitness, Cardozo decided he wanted a place in the team. Most of the poor results came when I was playing a game every second day, over the Xmas period and this seemed to get to the players. However, one result that was particularly pleasing in an attacking sense was the 6-3 win against Bolton, Nagy getting a hat-trick, Sturridge a brace, with Palacios rounding it off with a penalty. Heres to pushing on for a top 6 spot! Maybe even a Champions League one? Its not too far away is it?!
We started our defence of the FA Cup against Hull City at The Britannia, which should have meant an easy passage into the next round. Well it was far from it, I played a weaker eleven but I still should have had the quality to beat them. I ended up losing 1-0, sending us out of the prestigious competition in the third round.
Rasmus Elm He has been very consistent in the middle of midfield for me, often dominating games with his accurate range of passing.
Joe Mattock He has made the LB position his own so far this season, putting in some great performances.
Fabian Delph He has also been a key player in the middle of the park, putting in tackles left, right and centre, breaking up play consistently.
Daniel Sturridge Has top scored for my team in the league so far this season and all this from the right wing. Ill be looking to him for more goals in the upcoming games.
Now for the second half of the season and its time to start the real push for a top 6 position!
In the new season preview I was told Stoke had the smallest players in the league. Made me smile.
Pretty good going so far as you can get into Europe with a push up the final stretch. Shame about the FA Cup, but these things happen.
6-3 at Bolton. Quality.
1st KNOCKOUT ROUND STOKE CITY FC VS. VALENCIA CF
Diego Costa (26)
Fabian Delph (14)
A great first leg here, I was expected to lose quite heavily but managed to gain a very good draw. I got off to a great start with Delph scoring within the first 15 minutes but failed to capitalise on my domination, conceding in the 26th minute. From then on in it was a very even game but to Valencias defence they did create a lot of chances and probably should have won. A 0-0 draw at home would be all this is needed for us to progress to the next stage.
Oscar Cardozo (49)
Andras Nagy (72)
Pablo Piatti (53)
Roberto Soldado (92)
Well what can I say I thought I was through only for that dreaded last minute highlight to come up. A 92nd minute goal sent us from a memorable victory and progression to the next round, into an agonising away goal loss. Oh how close we were, definitely not what we deserved.
Now to focus on the league and the league only, every cloud has a silver lining etc
The other clubs in the league are not making it easy for me, for sure. Chelsea signed Neymar for 40.5M at the start of the season whilst Arsenal have just signed Douglas Costa for 42.5M.
It's making it even harder for me to break into the top group.
But the fact you are there at all is testament to how far your club has come since you took over
On such small things do such big things depend on.
So unlucky in the Europa League, always next season
Bad luck in Europe but that was a real tough draw.
Good luck with that top 6 push!
Now, what's the chances of the Valencia results being replicated in real life? Surely won't be too far off.
Your home record looks pretty decent, only conceded six goals so far. Fortress Britannia!
After being knocked out of Europe and the domestic cups, in the early stages it meant that all I had to focus on was the league. This should have benefited my team in the long run, meaning that we had a reasonable break in between games – leading to better performances and a push for the top 6. Well…
Yet again we finished behind the usual top 6 of Liverpool, Tottenham, Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City and eventual winners Arsenal. In other seasons this would have been good enough to warrant us a Europa League spot, yet this year Blackburn (8th) and Birmingham (12th) took these out because of their successes in the FA and League Cup. In fact Liverpool didn't even make it into the Europe this year finishing 6th. Our results were simply not good enough and add to the fact we went through a period of not scoring in six premier league games, didn't help our cause. On the positive side though, finishing in the same position as we did last year adds to our reputation of a strong top half club. And now the only hurdle to overcome to push us even further into greatness is 6th position.
Ryan Shawcross – Again he is my best player of the season and is the main reason I conceded so few goals this season compared to last.
Fabian Delph – Quickly becoming one of the better players in the Premier League and consistently being called up for England.
Rasmus Elm – Wanted by the likes of AC Milan because of his consistently good level of performance and dynamic range of passing.
Andras Nagy – He was again my top goal scorer this season despite being injured for the best part of two months with a shoulder injury. As you can see he is still rapidly developing but needs to improve on his goal scoring form.
It was a relatively ok season but I can't help think what it might have become if I hadn't conceded that late goal in the Europa League, hindsight is a great thing. Next season I have to focus on finding a winning tactic that will probably include two up front. That means that I'll probably have to find a new strike partner for Nagy, preferably a player in a target man mould. Not Crouch, who funnily enough has just taken over recently relegated Cardiff City as manager.

Probably won't accept this job offer but it's interesting to see that clubs want me!
In Elm, Delph, and Nagy, you have a solid foundation. Shawcross is quality as well - it seems to me you need more firepower upfront, but other than that, you could be competing for Top Four next season if you can get someone to score some goals!
Wow, nice one getting that sort of interest.
Bad luck on not getting that Europa League spot.
I think the switch to two up top will be a good move, see if you can get Nagy really firing.
It was always going to be tough to break into the top 6 due to the talent and finances the top clubs have. Looks like you are building steadily though and if Nagy can get a few more goals you might be closer next year.
If offense seems to be the problem, then indeed fielding a second striker may be worth a try
Great read btw
Shame about Europe, both getting knocked out on a late goal and missing out this season, but you'll get there again next season. Certainly not a bad season. It's tough competing with the money of the big boys. Looks like they have bought some stellar names too.
Not sure what it's supposed to link to since the table is in-text, but the Premier League link up top goes to Nagy.
Nagy's goalscoring problems could be down to his low positioning stat, only 9. All other stats suggest he should/could be prolific. Good luck in getting the best out him
Not a bad season, but might take something special to break into the top six. Shame you didn't do better on the cups, or are you mainly focusing on the league?
Still doing well.
Cheers guys!
@AK22 definitely just focusing on the league at the moment and hopefully the few signings that I've made will help me.
Media Prediction: 7th
Board Requirement: Europa League Qualification
FA Cup: 6th Round
League Cup: 1/4 Final
It was time for me to make a move in the transfer window and bring in some real quality to add to the depth of the squad. Saying this though, I have only spent 1.8M on one player. Dennis Heinze, an 18 year old striker from Germany with masses of potential and is already decent right now. I couldnt find anyone else worth my money and no older players appealed to me, at this moment in time. He will partner Nagy up front for many seasons to come, whilst Cardozo also helps out. Josh McEachran became by second signing of the season, coming in for free having been released from Chelsea. Hell add another Englishmen to a very good central midfield line up. Finally, probably my biggest coup of the window is former Manchester United defender Chris Smalling also coming in for free. Whilst at United Smalling showed no interest of coming to me, even when approaching the end of his contract but a 78K a week contract offer meant that he quickly became Stokes highest paid player.
Departing the club were two signings that I had previously made earlier in my tenure, Tomas Hubocan (1.8M) Frankfurt and Shikabala (1.2M) Catania. It was definitely the right decision to sell these two players, they were approaching the end of their contracts and taking up a fair amount of the wage budget whilst not really adding to the team. Other key players departing on frees were Simone Padoin and Wilson Palacios, who has been a great servant to the club.
This season I believe that I have one of strongest teams Ive had yet and so I should, Ive been here 5 years now! Up front I have the likes of Nagy, Sturridge and Cardozo, supporting them is Fleck and Firmino. Then in central midfield I have Elm, Delph, McEachran, Cairney and Wilson whom will be supported by some of the youth coming through the ranks. Then finally, probably the strongest part of my team is in defence with the likes of Shawcross, Huth and Smalling.
These players will form a part of my new formation, a narrow 4-1-2-1-2 as well as being able to transform into a usual 4-4-2. The only problem I have with the first formation is the lack of width but to be quite honest I dont have the options out wide.
These players will be integral in deciding whether I have a good season;
Asmir Begovic I will heavily rely on him in goal yet again, any success I have will be mostly down to him.
Fabian Delph He was one of my best players last season and Ill be looking for much of the same this season.
Rasmus Elm Hes still attracting the likes of AC Milan and Juventus and I expect them to still be interested come the end of the season.
John Fleck Last season wasnt his best but hopefully now with a bit more competition for his spot, hell shine.
Alright, this is the season where Ive really got to push on and perform well in the league. I believe the squad has the quality to go very far right now and so it should!

Note that this is a keyboard/case specifically designed for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" tablet. Yes it can be used with other tables by propping them up on the stand, but you would not be able to actually close it and use it as intended.
Also, the model Number given (920-003726) is nowhere to be found on Logitech's website or support site.
Can anyone remark (well I mean confirm) on whether or not this will work with a Motorola Xoom, the dimensions seem similar.
Does anyone know if this will work with an iPhone 4?

i have gotten a few things from 1sale aday and have no problems
Have gotten several things also. Never an issue.
Shipping used to be a bit slow at first, but last few purchases have been standard, meaning not Amazon-fast, but not Chinese-company-on-eBay-slow either.
I even bought their mystery photo bundle a few weeks ago for 200 bucks... sold the cam and memory card within a couple days and broke even, keeping the rest of the stuff at no cost (other than my time).
I've ordered from 1saleaday jsut shy of 20 times and never had a problem, other than items occasionally taking more than three weeks to get to me, though I've also had items delivered from them in less than 18 hours. I'd say they are no worse than any other deals site and better than many of them.
A Galaxy Tab 10.1 is 256.7 mm (10.11 in) x 175.3 mm (6.90 in) x 8.6 mm (0.34 in)
My Acer Iconia A500 is 260 mm (10.24 in) x 177 mm (6.97 in) x 13.3 mm (0.52 in)
So this case is a wee bit too small for my A500, at least on paper, but then I don't need a case and probably don't need the stand.
I may go for it in the morning... I'll sleep on it and see how I feel about it in the morning.
I also have bought several things from 1saleaday and never had a problem, I so rarely find galaxy tab 10.1 accessories I feel compelled to buy this, plus I did find this on the logitech site, so quit your bitchin its $14.
Can this be used with the Sony S tablet I got from Woot a few weeks ago?
@acarolinensis: 1saleaday.com is legit. Don't worry about it, I've ordered from there a bunch of times, actually more than 20 items I've bought already. It's legit.
@dmmutti: Try this one. It says it's for Samsung Galaxy
Ordered many times from 1sale,other than slow shipping never a problem,so I will order again from them if I see something I like..
I have had nothing but problems from 1saleaday. Used items are marketed as refurbished. Zero customer service. Never received items and forget returning an item. Look at their record with Consumerist and the Better Business Bureau.
Some of their prices look attractive but it is not worth dealing with them. Beware of 1saleaday
I have ordered from them a few times with no issues.
Bottom line people, every deal a day site will have at least a disgruntled 2 to 3 percent that will be dissatisfied with some part of a transaction. I imagine that even heaven forbid Woot does. I'm not saying that there aren't some scam sites out there, but when you are dealing with products that got to a deal site because of an excess supply and being bought over the internet by people thousands of miles and multiple time zones away some people are not going to being fully satisfied. Don't go buying a high dollar ticket item from a site first time out. If it gets to you as expected more than likely it's safe to buy something nicer. If you aren't happy move on and try the next one.
I've also ordered from here about 10 - 15 times and had no problem. I got a refurb wireless headset (turtlebeach), beef jerky, a toy chopper, a tablet and dish set (off the top of my head). All were shipped in good time. No probelms with my items.
I'll agree with what 90% of the comments are saying. I've ordered a 10-15 items with 1saleaday and never had any problems minus long shipping. Once I accidently had them send something to my previous address and it took about 3 months to get my 5 HDMI cables since I couldn't contact anyone, but besides that, they've been alright.
I highly doubt this will fit your S-tablet given the shape of it. Maybe fit your xoom. If you wanna take a risk, it's 20$ after shipping. If you don't wanna risk it, try to find a bluetooth keyboard for that price anywhere else. Count me in!
@acarolinensis: There are items posted from this site EVERY DAY. Why would you be surprised that this is allowed?
I see that I am not the only one that orders from 1saleaday on a regular basis. I have had no more people with them than anyone else. The company is legitimate.
Does anyone know if this will fit and work with the 10.1" Galaxy Tab 2?
Am I missing something? There are multiple references to the standard BT range of 30 feet, yet wouldn't a user only put a tablet into the slot directly built within this keyboard?
A Galaxy Tab 2 appears to be 256.7 x 175.3 x 9.7, so the only difference between it and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 would be the thickness (9.7 mm vs. 8.6 mm).
I'm guessing it would work, but have no experience with it.
In for two! Only thing that sucks is they add the shipping per each item. (shipping speed varies with each order) I like it better when its a flash item and shipped free. But this is a great deal and I will be able to sell one for the price of both :)
@markucsb: Must have sold out at that price - now says they are $99 and SOLD OUT!?
Reviews are 2.5 / 3 stars (most bad stars are for poor shipping) but some complain that there are issues with poor connectivity with the keys especially the space bar where there are only certain areas that really work???
No mention of it being mac compatible so no go for me... too bad.

Redhill Library Reading Group prepares to settle down with a good book (From Redhill And Reigate Life)
Redhill Library Reading Group prepares to settle down with a good book
10:00am Sunday 6th April 2014 in
The ReadWell (Redhill Library) Reading Group will hold its next meeting in the upstairs cafe at The Harlequin Theatre, Warwick Quadrant, Redhill, next Wednesday (April 9) at 2pm. The book for group members to be reading is Ian McEwan's novel, Saturday. The discussion group, which holds its meetings every six weeks on Wednesday afternoons between 2pm and 3pm in the upstairs cafe at The Harlequin, was set up to encourage and provide readers who have a love of books, but not the time, confidence or resources to establish their own reading group, the chance to join one run and administered with the full support and flexibility of library staff. The group will meet again on Wednesday, May 21, when members will be discussing The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing.

What are some strategies that I can employ to handle a power gamer that constantly outshines the rest of the party? This is a friend of us all and we don't want to boot him, but combat simply isn't fun when the party has nothing to do while he mops up an encounter by himself.

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Does he know there's a problem? There are plenty of mechanical ways to limit his character, but bear in mind that you may wind up moving the frustration from yourselves over to him. And if he's at all smart, he's going to recognize what's going on.
My generic answer for problem behavior is "talk to the guy," which is harder but often more effective.
I really dig the idea of giving him bigger monsters to fight. Obviously being awesome is part of what's turning his crank; if you can figure out ways to let him show his awesome without overshadowing everyone else, that's a win for everyone.
Spice up the plot with non-violent encounters in which weaponry is not an asset.
Use multi-threat encounters where one character just cannot defeat all opponents.
Any artifical hurdles can easily backfire if the player feels he is being unfairly targeted by the DM.
You can do a very nice trick. Talk with him and with his consent entrap him into a lesser character.
In normal gameplay, the player plays the lesser character. However, once per day, he can try to "morph" back into his (e.g.) human form for a reduced amount of time (like one or two hours, with increasing difficulty for every additional hour to keep staying in normal form) via a willpower saving throw. Have it based on the willpower of the original character, not of the lesser one, and make it with a difficulty so that he succeeds in one case out of four. If he fails, the lesser character loses consciousness until the end of the encounter. Note that this strategy is very similar in concept to the Space Ace "Energize" option.
I already tested with strong success this strategy. In my case, it was a very powerful 10th level warrior hosted into the body of a kobold. The backstory is that the character was part of a dragon-slayer guild, and one dragon was able to beat them. He was the only survivor, and was cursed into the most repulsive and insignificant reptile creature, a kobold. This kobold saves the party of 1st level characters from an ambush, and joins them because he is a smart but very goofy sorcerer and tool-builder of his tribe, outcasted due to his tendency to attract troubles.
That may be part of the problem. You appear to want a game that is ill-suited to power gaming, while he seems to want very much to min/max, optimize, and otherwise employ power gaming techniques. Maybe the two of you need to discuss what sort of game each of you wants, and bring the other players into the conversation as well.
Have the discussion before the game session starts, and preferably in person. Email can easily be misinterpreted. It's OK to have this sort of meta discussion, and it becomes vital where there's a potential mismatch of expectations.
If the guy likes a challenge, ask him to play and optimize substandard builds via awkward race/class combinations or weird flavors and themes. The artificial handicap is optional and can scratch the powergamer itch without blowing away the other party members. Doing this may edge him into more RP interesting characters as well.
If you're playing with a system that rewards character optimization, I don't understand how "power gaming" - within the letter and spirit of the rules - isn't simply good play. Why would you penalize a player for intelligent use of the rules? Would you penalize a player who's a good combat strategist just because the other players aren't as good at it?
It seems like many games are structured so that some options stack with other options to give great mechanical advantages to players who discover the combos. It also seems like part of the fun, for some players, of playing those games is discovering and implementing those combos. If you and the other players are uncomfortable "keeping up" with the power gamer, then it seems like the problem is either the system or the compatibility of the group.
I wouldn't run a game with a crunchy, combo-heavy system if I were uncomfortable with players optimizing character builds. Being penalized for intelligently using the system would have to be maddening - metagame "revenge" for intelligent play reeks of Ear Seekers.
Make sure your campaign isn't all about combat. Have situations where even if you kill everything the problem/issue isn't resolved. Also provides some context for all the characters. For example a cleric would be associated with a temple, an ex-navy engineer have some navy buddies. By playing to each of the character's backgrounds in turn you create opportunities for them to shine.
Build the encounters to match your player group. If you have 4 decent players and one power gamer throw in a group of weaker enemies with a powerful leader. Such that the power gamer has no choice but to engage the more powerful enemy while the others take care of the others.
Perhaps a group of skeletons being bossed around by a Skeleton Warrior, or a Lich, (not sure what level range you are going for.)
for lower levels throw in some Orcs with a troll for reinforcement. Something to keep his attention while the others still have fun.
Basically balance the enemies to your players.
IMHO is a typical problem caused by the GM: let me explain.
One of the PCs is very successful at doing something, and the other characters are not. This can be a problem only if the other players are bothered by the situation.
If nobody cares and everybody has fun, keep on going.
Else the solution is either to make sure everyone can have fun. Go read something on RPG players types and craft your game so that everybody can have their share of fun. Customize your game for your group: the power player can have lots of hard fights while other players can have fun other ways.
And there are always combat situations like a really strong subject needs help from weaker subjects: tanks without support from infantry, artillery and aviation are not as strong.
Your tank might have the ubergun and the awesome armour and be fast as heck, but he needs enablers. And make sure enablers don't strictly need the tank to succeed/have fun. A tank is useless outside of the battlefield :)
Again: the source of the problem is the character in your game, not the character in isolation.
Aside from Bryant's good suggestion to talk to the guy, you can also study this powergamer's character for what his weaknesses are and take advantage of them. For instance, I once had a player in my D&D 3.5e game who could hit for tons of damage, but he had to recharge the attack, and that provoked opportunity attacks. So, I started to work my future encounters so that he was always at least double teamed, and when he had to recharge he was in danger of multiple opportunity attacks.
Another suggestion is to limit what your characters can use to create their characters. If your powergamer is taking advantage of multiple splatbooks to create their character, you could institute a 'one splatbook per character' rule where each character can only use the core rulebooks and at most one splatbook to create their character.
In addition to the good suggestions already offered...
I would encourage you to offer that player something better than the opportunity to happily smash each and every bad-guy/thing/lich with halitosis: offer him rich role-playing, and reinforce him positively when he embraces it (in-game with rewards, above-game with comments of appreciation like, "What a great decision! That was just exactly what your character would say! Love it, man!"). Reinforce, encourage, and get the rest of the group to do so, too.
Sure, it may take a while for this person to transition from munchkin to a role-player who's happy to play a narcoleptic thief with severe allergies and palsy...but everybody's got to start somewhere, right?
Of course, this is so easy to answer because none of US have ever been the munchkin, have we?
Answer is simple, put them in environment where their skills are useless, for example force them to do more thinking less using their "skills".
This is reason why I prefer weaker characters. Those players think more when they playing. If you want to have well balance team, try to make characters by your own and tell players to use them. Last thing, at the end of the day, you are GM, you can say I don't care if in XXX manual was written, I'm GM and I don't allow that because this is breaking my concept of world.
Another option is to have maps that have terrain that helps some of the other character's power sources, thus making them more effective, but keeping him the same. You will be able to have stronger enemies (maybe with reduced XP since there is a conditional buff for the PCs), he'll be dealing the same awesome damage as before, and the rest of the party should be on par with him as well.
If, having talked to your power gamer, you find that it's part of playing that they like and you don't want them to leave then you need to cope with it.
Is it a problem to have one character a little more powerful than the others? If the character is min-maxed then chances are it is toward a specific goal. As long as the group's goals are varied enough, then the affect of the power gaming is reduced. When their talents do come to the fore then let them have their moment of glory.
Min-maxed characters tend not to be overpowered when it comes to narrative situations, so you could use more of those.
If they find a major abuse of the rules then you can congratulate them, give a different bonus as a reward for finding the flaw and then houserule the loophole away. Ensure you give them a reward, though because finding a loophole is quite a clever thing to do!

I am reading the draft of "Equations of Riemann Surfaces of Genus 4, 5 and 6 wih Large Automorphism groups" and the author starts using the notation $H^0(C, mK)$ on page 3, without explaining it. As the author is studying the action of the automorphism group of $C$ on $H^0(C, mK)$ and refers to Farkas who studies the action of the automorphism group of $C$ on holomorphic q-differentials, I suspect that $H^0(C, mK)$ is the first cohomology group computed using q-differentials, but I'm not sure.
My question is that if my guess is correct, then how does one even define that cohomology (do we still have $d^m d z^m = 0$ so we have our exact sequence to define the cohomology?). And if I'm totally wrong then please tell me what that notation means.
In any case I would appreciate if someone guides me to a reference so I can read more on this object.

If you are new to Facebook, you can set up a profile here in about a minute.
If you already have an account, you may want to increase your chances of being found and noticed by the right industry connections. You can also actively search for companies who are hiring on Facebook.
I've structured this blog in three short parts;
1. Set up your profile and be found by the right people,
2. Share content on your profile which enhances your personality and skills
3. Finding and making the right contacts[Read More]

text: Did I tell you guys yet that there is another Ice Age that came out called Ice Age: Continental Drift? Well if I didn't I'm telling you now. This first lesson I am uploading is going to be on a character from said movie. Here is "how to draw Shira", step by step. Shira made her movie debut in the fourth installment of Ice Age. She is voiced by Jennifer Lopez and has a face that matches her voice actor's. Shira is from Gutt's crew but she leaves his crew to join Diego and his band of animals. I think Shira is the love to Diego, but I'm not sure. Anyways, drawing Shira from Ice Age should be simple enough. After all, drawing saber tooth tigers is always fun regardless how hard the task might be. I will be back with more fun for you all folks so stay tuned in.

I suspect that this is a controversial idea, but I think it would be useful to allow responses to a question on the SO family of sites to be sorted by the reputation score of the responder.
Here is some of my reasoning in making the feature request.
- There is a loose correlation between someone's reputation score and the quality (or insight) of the answers they provide.
- Interesting answers to posts often don't get many upvotes because they are masked by the first response effect.
- Controversial questions often get a lot of responses, and it becomes difficult to sift through all of them to find the interesting comments.
- This seems like an easy feature to implement (at least on the surface).
- Empirically, I've found myself looking for responses from certain people because I know that they generally have good, insightful answers that may illuminate facets of the problem that others may not realize.
I realize that there are a lot of feature requests out there and many great ideas just don't have enough value to implement. But here's why I think this idea has merit:
- The purpose of these sites is to share knowledge within their particular domains.
- Valuable knowledge is "promoted" to the top of the list (based on votes) to help people sift through noise by relying on the expertise of other contributors.
- The reputation system is a powerful way of identifying contributors with a particular expertise or enthusiasm for a subject.
- Expertise/enthusiasm is an indicator of the potential quality of a response.
- Seeing the best responses to an answer is a valuable capability for a knowledge system.
Some of the potential downsides of this idea:
- This could overshadow voting as a way to score the relative value of an answer.
- People's reputation changes over time, just because someone has a high reputation at the present, doesn't mean that when they answered the question they did.
- It feels undemocratic and may convey a negative impression to some people.

Is there a good technique to warm up your boots in the morning? Should you just put them on and warm them up with your feet or is there a better alternative?
I have found sleeping with my boots inside the bag is the ONLY way to go when it is really cold out. Moderately cold, sure you can tough out the re-thaw in the morning - but real cold... forget it.
It is tough to get over the psychological barrier of putting boots in your bag - but it will make a difference. A few points to consider:
** Some people swear by plastic socks (gore tex, nylon, or even plastic bags) to trap the moisture your foot generates inside the bag before it reaches your boot. Although this keeps your boots dry, it can make for a miserable squishy hiking/skiing experience -- but might be the only way to keep your boots dry during prolonged exposure.
If you can't stomach your boots in your bag (it is not that bad, really) you can try the following fuel or time-intensive measures:
Bonus Protips:
One option is to take them with you into the sleeping bag, just as anything else that needs to keep from freezing (like gas or batteries). I feel like my sleeping bag already takes enough beating as it is, so the boots stay outside. I just make sure they're wide open, so that I can get them on my feet in the morning even if they're frozen. Running a few meters to and fro makes them bearable for the time required to get on the track, then they will slowly warm up. Ah those winter mornings :)
General tips to help you out:
In fact, I've found just putting them on and putting up with the cold for the first few minutes isn't that bad an option when you're used to it. It feels horrible putting them on, but after doing that and running around the tent a few times (which helps me wake up also!) the discomfort soon disappears.

I'm planning to buy a new LCD tv with Full HD and with HDMI inputs. My laptop (acer 5740) has HDMI output, but will Ubuntu support it?
The HDMI factor is not Ubuntu relevant, what you need to check is if your video card works with Ubuntu since the HDMI output will be configured using the drivers for your card.
Has a short answer: Ubuntu will support anything that your drivers will.
Your laptop has a Intel GMA HD integrated card that is supported out of the box by Ubuntu. I am assuming all the work it will be is to plugin your screen and configure the drivers so its recognized as a 2nd screen. It wont be very hard to do, maybe not as easy as in Windows ofc but, still doable and simple.

Do clothing, jetpacks and vehicle upgrades help you in Jetpack Joyride or are they purely for aesthetics?
Out of clothing, jetpacks, and vehicle upgrades only the following provide any actual tangible benefit:
The benefit of any of the Magnet items is that they attract coins that are close by without having to touch them. The clothing and jetpack upgrades provide only an aesthetic benefits, although some of them do help toward gaining certain Achievements.
The Golden Piggy Pack jetpack is powered by firing $1000 bills. I noticed that unlike other jetpacks, scientists will run toward the bills making it easier to high five.

I will be starting my Interferon treatment Sept. 19th. I had surgery June 29th and doing great. I went to see Dr. Sosman at Vanderbilt in Nashville last week and he wanted me to do a clinical trial of Yervoy. After a lot of praying and research I have decided to do Interferon. I hope to hear from someone who did the year of Interferon.
Re: vicky(9/12/2011 - 7:21pm)
Hi Vicky,
Good luck with your upcoming treatment. My husband is undergoing Interferon treatment as well, Interferon Alpha 2B. He is on the 6 month treatment plan, 4 days for one week then off for 2 weeks. He has done very well so far. Tomorrow will start is half way point. He drinks plenty of water, rests when tired and maintains his positive attitude.
I will be thinking of you!
Be a fountain not a drain
Interferon(10/1/2015 - 7:16pm)
How was the treatment of interferon. I had to stop the 5x a week...so you know your dosage?
Re: Vicky(6/24/2012 - 1:40pm)
Hi Vicky,
I just read this :
Be sure to get your diagnosis confirmed and your treatment done in a clinic specialized on melanoma.
Re: Vicky(7/5/2013 - 12:42pm)
Vicky - I went thru 11 months of alpha B interferon. First month of daily IV treatment then 10 months of home injections. Should have done the last month (to make it a full year as prescribed), but I was ready to get back to my "old" life. It's been two years and I'm still NED (no evidence of disease). I'm in the "Watchful Waiting" period. The year was a bit draining but drinking lots & lots of water and resting when needed are the two main requirements to get thru the interferon regimen. The best of luck...

Attorney says client regrets 'stupid' comments

STEUBENVILLE — The attorney representing Michael Nodianos said Monday afternoon his client saw a 16-year-old Weirton female leave a party early Au....
The attorney said "Michael is a good kid..." If he's an example of a good Steubanville kid, what are the bad kids like?

I watched the video for the first time. I can't believe there are animals like this among us. I do feel for the parents but he didn't become like this over night. He doesn't have a conscious, morals and absolutely no regard for women. His attorney said he regrets the video. I contend the only thing he regrets is being exposed for what he is. Remember: after the video, he attended the fall term at Ohio State as if nothing happened. Any woman that may ever consider getting involved with him should view the video. Please, don't blame this video on him being drunk. All liquor did was act as a truth serum. Those who saw the video witnessed his true feelings. This is truly an evil person. With pressure from Ohio State Alumni, hopefully they pull his scholarship. Why would any alumni want someone like this among their ranks?

"It is common for young and stupid to be used in the same sentence so often. Michael and the kid with the camera started joking and they started fueling each other as they went along."
So it is the person who video taped Michael Nodianos's fault that he said all of those horrifying things?
The attorney failed to mention that Michael Nodianos broke the law by not reporting a crime.

I'm sure this has been said before, so forgive me if it's a repeat.
We need to take s step back and consider how this will impact the boys later in life. As someone said elsewhere, "They'll have daughters one day, perhaps, who will google, and learn what their fathers did."
If you assume they're guilty (which everyone has recklessly done already), then this is what they deserve. But let the facts speak for a minute. No one here knows what really happened that night. We still live in a democracy last time I checked, and that means innocent until proven guilty.
I think we can all agree that a fair and impartial trial should decide whether there is any guilt, or if it was a night of ill-advised underage drinking and sex that took a regrettable turn. We were all teenagers once.
All this publicity is going to traumatize the young lady far more than if the situation were dealt with more discreetly (I simply mean out of the public eye, a fair trial should of course be conducte

With this all over CNN and the world (even the British press is on it) it's making the entire city of Steubenville look bad over a video which, while disgusting, is not illegal. And obviously the usual rivals are exploiting this just to make the Big Red football team look bad and damage the program.
1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
@Donning. As soon as you made it about Big Red's "rivalries", you lost all credibility. The fact is football players in the Ohio Valley have received preferential treatment for a long time and now it has been exposed. This young man knew a lot of information for someone who only heard it second hand.

He sure didn't sound like he regretted anything he said. In fact, someone did try to get him to feel some empathy, and he said he had none, right? It sounds like he's only sorry everyone found out about it. If he truly regretted it, he never would have done it in the first place. Almost makes me ashamed that my ancestors, right up to my parents, grew up in Jefferson Co. I only hope his parents make him face up to what he did, rather than try to protect him from it. And if he knows more than what he's telling, he would do well to spill his guts, in order to have any self-respect whatsoever.

Any attorney that makes statements of this sort are the ones that are tying to put out fires where a forest fire has raged. This kid is guilty by association, if you actually listen to the tape, at one point, two men off camera "go to check on the girl" and state they find HIM offensive. This has the note that the girl was STILL in that house somewhere, where the two could go check on her. Stupid comments? no this wasnt stupidity, this was outright criminal acts regarding morality and sensibilities that are human. In his own words she was dead.. If he believed that.. he should have been calling 911 to get her help, instead of making a 12 min video of stupidity.. Sounds to me like this is NOT the FIRST time this has happened to him and his "rape crew".....

Rape and sodomy of innocents will not be tolerated no matter the age or social status of the perpertrators. This sadistic punk should be charged as an adult and given the stiffest sentence available. Hopefully his statements will follow him forever and make his life living*****should the justice system fail (as it most often does). Everyone who attempts to hide info should be prosecuted to the fullezt extent of the law. I hope you all rot steubenville.

Those who won't come forward because they don't want to see their name on the Internet in years to come should have thought that way of the victim.
If Mr. DeWine has evidence and it appears he does of others present, they need to be prosecuted also. And the parents who permitted the alcohol; and the Ohio State student who admitted to underage consumption is at the minimum guilty of that.
Also, aren't parents liable for their children and their behavior?
Just asking.

"Michael's a good kid". Is this what his parents told you? After watching the video, I have to disagree. Underage kid who looks drunk or high that is making fun of a girl who just got raped and urinated on. He also compared her to Caleigh Anthony and tries to persuade the other kids out of going to help her...Nice Kid! He also talks about another rape at Palooza in the video. The attorney also mentioned Michael doesn't know her, wasn't there, but he rambles on for 13 minutes in a video detailing what all happened to her? Bottom line...the kid is a cocky little d-head that's getting what he deserves.

Is one allowed to pay a service fee for an aveirah which someone else has already done, in order to get some other good or service now? The case I had in mind is an animal adoption where the agency charges a fee for neutering already performed.

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Paying for an Aveira that was already done, is probably not a problem - especially in this case where you did not request the Aveira to be done.
In הלכות איסורי מזבח פרק ד:יב the Rambam states that if you pay a harlot after the fact, the payment does not have the status of Ethnan and can be used as a Korban. This is true even if you agreed on a price and only sent the animal later, as Yehuda did (or tried to do) with Tamar.
