In This Article:
There are a number of minor side effects. The medication can cause blood pressure to fall, so this will be monitored (see How an epidural is done). If it does fall, you'll be given fluids and medication, and subsequent doses may be reduced.
It's common to experience itching with epidurals, caused by the release of histamine from the opioid component of a mobile epidural. Histamine is a substance released by the body during an allergic reaction that can cause itching. The itch can be treated, but in most cases it gets better on its own. If you develop an itch, a greater concentration of local anesthetic alone will be used.
It's not unusual to shiver with an epidural, although this is a more common side effect if a concentrated local anesthetic is used, as is the case for a cesarean delivery.
Epidural pain relief can cause a rise in temperature. If this occurs, you'll have a blood test to eliminate an infection since this can also cause your temperature to rise. You will be given preventative antibiotics while waiting for the blood test results, and acetaminophen to bring your temperature back to normal.
In addition to side effects, there can occasionally be problems with the effectiveness of an epidural. The anesthetic may not spread evenly in the epidural space, which may be caused by the epidural tube sitting on one side of the epidural space. This can mean that pain relief only occurs on one side of the body. If this occurs, the anesthesiologist will try to reposition the tube and give another dose of anesthetic. If this doesn't work, the only other solution is to redo the entire epidural.
Sometimes, one spot can remain painful, usually in the groin area or low down in the front of the abdomen, which is referred to as a "missed segment." This results from a single nerve root not being coated with the local anesthetic. Again, the anesthesiologist may reposition the tube. Sometimes, a stronger local anesthetic or an opioid is used to numb the area. If a persistent missed segment is too uncomfortable, the anesthesiologist may do a combined spinal epidural block, known as a CSE.
It's thought that epidural pain relief may prolong the second stage of labor. It also increases your chances of having an assisted delivery, especially if a high dose of anesthetic is given toward the end of labor, which affects your ability to push. However, an epidural doesn't increase the chance of a cesarean and doesn't, despite common misconceptions, cause long-term backache after the birth.
Some women report a headache after an epidural, which can develop more than 24 hours after the delivery and tends to be at the front of the head. It is made worse by sitting up and moving around and is much improved by lying down. This occurs in around 1 in 100 women and is caused by the epidural needle moving too far forward and cutting the dura sheath, the membrane maintaining the fluid around the spinal cord and brain. This small hole results in a loss of fluid from the sheath, which causes a headache. The risk is hugely reduced by remaining still during the placement of the epidural. In around 70 percent of women, the hole heals on its own. You will be advised to drink plenty of fluids and to take simple painkillers, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen and you will be reviewed at regular intervals by an anesthesiologist.
If the headache persists, a procedure called a "blood patch" will be done. This is done in the sterile environment of an operating room by two anesthesiologists. One places an epidural needle in your back, while the other takes around 20 ml of blood from a vein in your arm. The blood is then passed down the needle into the epidural space. This forms a clot that seals the hole and prevents further leakage of fluid from around your spine, therefore relieving the headache.

The game is too easy.
The difficulty is about right.
The game is too hard.
Do you actually stoped for a minute and look at your team? Mediocre Team?
Napoli is probably, at least in FM, one of the top 4 teams in Italy.
Cavani (one of the best strikers in the game)
Cannavaro (one of the best central defenders in the game)
Maggio (one of the best wingbacks in the game)
Lavezzi (one of the best strikers in the game)
Hamsik (one of the best playmakers)
Fernandez Federico (great defender)
De Santics (great gk)
And the list go on!
I know that the media prediction for Napoli is 8th, and i think because of that many people manage them because they think it's a mid table team. BUT IT'S NOT!
In FM, its a top team, so winning the Seria A it's not a overachivement.
Read beyond the name Napoli... like his 2nd paragraph for instance, or the bit that says "...won the Seria A in 1st season with no effort whatsoever"
The easiness he's complaining about isn't so much that its with Napoli, but that he's done very little, manager-wise, to achieve such success. Its the same story with the majority of complaints.
Even if you're Barcelona, you should have to have some input in what you achieve in this game. The fact that its easy to over achieve with very little effort in some saves is the very crux of this whole easiness debate. The team you manage comes secondary to that fact.

is available the final version of gpp patch that improve the difficulty.
Not agrre with you soory : it's a real football simulation and I don't think that it's easy to manage a football team and win leagues.
So the difficulty of this game should be realistic.
It's not a hard league if you play with Barcelona or Madrid, because there is a huse gap between those 2 teams and the rest.
I always manage in Portugal.
IRL, in Portugal, you have 3 teams that can changelle for the tittle (Porto, Benfica and Sporting). This 3 teams are many steps above all the others. Have much better players, have much more money.
So in FM, if i pick Benfica i can expect to win every league in a row. Some years i may win by 1 point, others years by 10 points.
But i wont be expecting a league where i lose 20 points, because IRL that doesn't happen.
Thats not to distract from the point of this thread btw!!
Why would winning trophies with Barca, Inter, Utd...be easy? Barca really struggled 10, 15 years ago untill they changhed the policy, made La Masia to what it is now...the same thing is with Utd, Ajax, Porto.... How long it took Inter to win CL again? As long as they employed the right manager? Winning CL and leagues should be the ultimate joy in this game even with big clubs. Being a world champion with Huddersfield should be close to impossible if this is a simulation game.
The fact is that FM became very sophisticated and AI cannot cope with human players anymore. This game needs a major overhaul in all depertments. And it needs it for a long time now..
Agree with this. The old argument about being a good team means its expected for you to do extrememly well just doesn't cut it with me. For one you're theoretically pitting your managerial and tactical wits against the best managers in the game, having to man-manage world class players and their egos, and keep your board and their extreme demands under control. At lower levels, it should be easier. But people have it etched in their minds that being a big team = easy mode, being a little team = hard mode. In reality its the complete opposite. In saying that, its the game mechanics that are at fault, not the people who use that argument.
another good point Erimus...i dont see how a "balance" can be found really so which again brings me to the point of having some kind of moddable ini files etc so the user can dictate just how hard/easy the challenge should be.
In perfect football simulation game you should start in lower leagues and improving your career by moving to bigger clubs. Or having an option to be Guardiola, Wenger, Steve Bruce...when you want to play top football save. This way you take over that manager's reputation.......here you go - difficulty levels.
I am a casual player of FM, I never download super tactics, always closed transfer window when I start the game, never save and load before important games and games that I need to win, in other words I never cheat the game.
IMO the game starts somewhat with normal difficulty. For example let's say you pick a mediocre team in any league of 16, 18 or 20 teams that is expected to finish mid table IRL, in FM you'll finish between 4th and 8th place in my experience. Similar goes if you pick a team that is a league winner contender IRL, in FM you'll finish top 3 for sure with basically no real effort.
Now after 2nd season, 3rd season and on... the game becomes easy and by easy I mean the AI can't keep up. With a mediocre team you'll find yourself challenging the league already from 2nd season and with a good team you'll be playing in the CL final and winning everything domestic. SI needs to make the AI smarter so if you pick Seville for example you won't be winning La Liga year after year and making it to the CL semi-finals and finals year after year 2-3 seasons in the game. That is very unrealistic.
From my experiences 99% of the time the team you play with does better every new season than the previous season. I'll never find myself getting promoted one year and relegated the next season or even struggle to stay up. Unless the AI is re-looked at and made smarter we'll always have an easy game after the 2nd season. I also think the majority of the people (not me) that play FM, like the fact that they pick a team from 3rd division and are in the CL final 5-6 seasons later. Otherwise why spend 150hours without winning a major title.
I am a fun of realism and FM is not realistic. But it's the closest football management game to be realistic and that's why we choose to play it. If SI finds a way to improve the AI so we get challenged the same in season 1 and season 20 then we have a better game. Until then let's keep hoping...
Finding this years version very enjoyable.
The "balance" issue is a weird argument... FM10 didn't have this problem, where it seemed like most users found a good level of difficulty. So of course it is possible to find a difficulty level that satisfies most of the users.
The "good team = easy" argument is annoying because if it is easy to play Real Madrid in-game, it should therefore be easy to manage Real Madrid in reality (realism), therefore Real Madrid should be able to hire Paul Ince and get similar results to Mourinho. Thankfully, it doesn't work that way - it is very hard to manage Real Madrid, which is why they need a Special One.
The new difficulty level should be, automatic save after a game (or even better every ten minutes during a game), without changing this during your whole career. The referee blows his whistle and the game saves. I bet that these threads would become less populated. People often reload on crucial events (because the game is unfair in their eyes), and boast afterwards that the game is too easy.
Why not create a test, you create a game where everybody can vote their squad formation and tactics. Without buying players offcourse. And a neutral noble respected forum member(not me), does the test on a weekly or daily basis.
On a side note, I do need to admit that winning manager awards is too easy in this version.
@X42BN6: I never had any easier save then in FM 2010.

One data point isn't enough, sadly.
Even SI acknowledged it is a problem so why do you keep spamming posts like this? This was quite an unreasonable statement considered the totally flawed logic, the fact that you support it does not say anything positive about you.
It's still a fact, that the majority of the people don't think it is to easy to play. There seems to be some flaws that could make the game easier as it should be, but there is no general consensus that that game is to easy at all.
seems the right one for me
The perfect game makes 100% of customers happy. Therefore the objective is to make the remaining 30% happy while not impacting the other 60% (ideally making them happier).
That doesn't make the 60% "more right" than the 30%, nor the 10% sitting on the fence. The customer is always right - all 100% of them.
Is it known what is release date of new patch?
And, why this game is 12.0.1, 12.0.2, etc. - does it mean it is only minor changes and that big patch would be 12.1?
I have tried the patch and i think the job done by pinuccio is significant. The AI shows more fighting spirit and behave more adequately. Yesterday I played only 5 games - 2 wins, 2 lost and 1 draw /kidderminster/, but I enjoyed them. Awaiting SI patch, I will continue playing with Pinuccio improvements.
Thank you mate!
On the other hand the games really worth playing, on the other hand, are those which have genuine depth - they include features that not everyone likes, but are there because they combine to make the overall experience more immersive, more complicated, and to give players more options. Now, some people are going to let the features, whichever those might be, that they personally don't like or disagree with, ruin their experience. The majority of other people, on the other hand, will engage it and generally have a blast.

If two sides want contradictory things, then the solution may be to offer both options, for example.
Nobody said each viewpoint has to be treated equally right.
But every customer is right. If their viewpoint doesn't correspond to what the software does, the software is confusing or misleading.
We talk about stupid AI of FM but how about finances ? In previous FM, it was too easy to earn money (and maybe too hard in small clubs because unable to sell), what do you think about ?
You stated that all the customers were right. So, some are less right than others? Does that not make them more wrong? There has to be some form of central decision about what is and isn't a good opinion or you end up chasing your own tail. If everybody who posted on these forums was equally right and should be treated equally seriously, FM managers would have virtual wives, virtual houses and virtual kids, players would die, there would be a win button and the AI would never try to hold onto players the user wanted to buy. Others have never posted a positive word about FM in the time I've been on these forums. If these are the people stating that FM is not a good game, then should SI really be listening to them?If two sides want contradictory things, then the solution may be to offer both options, for example. Nobody said each viewpoint has to be treated equally right.
Total nonsense. How can the software correspond to the varied opinions of circa 1 million people? Yes, some of the stuff might be better done or better documented, but to expect it to perfectly meet the demands of every customer that buys it is not just a pipe dream, but commercial and creative suicide.But every customer is right. If their viewpoint doesn't correspond to what the software does, the software is confusing or misleading.
I've no idea what management and marketing guru books you might be getting this from, but they aren't very good.

When patch 12.0.5 is out,without corner bug?
For video gaming, however, not even Rockstar and its GTA series can not listen to their users. Video gaming is an industry where it is difficult to have Apple's security.
The reality is that organisations have many constraints that mean that they cannot fulfill all of the customers' requests - one of these, of course, is money. It doesn't stop the customer from being correct, however.
For example, a minority of users would like to customise stadium names, but a majority are fine - therefore a stadium rename function should not be made mandatory or in-your-face.
Both sets of customers are therefore equally right, but as a whole, the impact should be relatively proportionate.
There is clearly a market for more "arcade-like" functions - one day, SI might go down this route if it makes money.
If you think more "arcade" functions are wrong, then understand that someone who thinks they are "right" also thinks that your notion of a more "traditional" or "non-EA" approach is ridiculous.
The reality is that SI will not want to reinvent the wheel and will have their own strategic goals and direction, and that "arcade" functions are probably not on that agenda unless it will make them lots of money. If that was the case, the ideal game would mask these features if they are not warranted, satisfying both "sets" of customers.
For example, one of the strategic goals of FM will clearly to be able to produce a "game" - therefore a "win" button is out of the picture as that would defeat this goal rather easily.
Therefore: Yes, everyone who wants things like a "buy a house" feature is correct - however, it would require a ton of effort and it is obvious that it would be difficult to do this without upsetting the rest of the userbase, so this will probably be a very low-priority goal. Nicking the entire FIFA Manager base, however, would give huge returns - high-risk, high-return.
Personally, I'm not a fan of these things, but then again, I'm not representative of all FM fans. I'm just a single data point.
Every customer is right, but it may not be in my power to satisfy them all. Nevertheless, if I had that power, I would use it to write a perfect piece of software.
I write software for users, and I take complaints seriously. It's not management, nor rocket science.
Games are not like other software, they are more like books or music. If there are people who don't like it, the publishers won't ask the author to make major changes or a band to change their music style. It's similar with such a game, the developers have a product and a customer base in mind. They listen to customers when they are reporting flaws and bugs, but they don't leave their strategy just because some of the customers wish another game.
About the difficulty, I find it ok personally. TBH it should be fun and making it near impossible to achieve anything with a small team - as many suggest - albeit realistic would take out the fun part, for which I bought the game. There is challenge and there is frustration = different.
And to add to the arguement, lets not forget that the people on these forums are mainly the hardcore fans/players and not the casuals. Most people on here have played with several versions of the game and know the tactics, AI habit, moral in and out. As a result the fact that it is "only" difficult for 30% of these mainly hardcore gamers suggests to me (perhaps incorrectly) that it is not too difficult on a whole. I don't believe the casual 1m out there are as good as you guys in this game... But they are a bigger market.
You might argue that you are the bigger fans why not cater to YOUR interest rather than a casual gamer that plays 3-4hrs a week tops. Well, there are more of them and SI - like any other company - creates game for money. And also because you'll buy the game next year anyway, they might not... and you know you will, as it's still the best out there.
...so to the point, can you please stop spamming that we must all accept what is offered to us without any objections? We are not sheep, we have opinions and this thread is the place to express them.
Daffius, if something is not done to improve the hardness of the game, many people will not buy it next year, trust me.
The poll says that 30% are thinking the game is to easy, it does not say that all of those 30% do not enjoy the game. This are two different things.
As for sales figures, I guess only time will tell.
However I am not against making it better for the 31% of people. They bought the game and deserve to have fun as well. As long as it can be done without degrading the fun for the rest of the 69%, I'm all for it. Difficulty level? Some sort of 'optional' patch? etc...
With the same logic you can say some of those 60% that have said it is OK can not like the game. Pointless argument I believe.
Daffius, I have seen similar arguments in my country's forum. Many other have reported the same about their countries. I believe it is close to the actual figure (there are plenty of newbies around here, it is not only hardcore gamers).
What kind of stuff could be added to the editor in the future to add some kind of difficulty or easiness for those who want a different challenge?
Range of manager reputation for human managers? Like "starting reputation" and "max reputation" as figures and not just as past experience?
This would make long term saves more challenging, but you would never gain a top reputation within the game.
People still talking about having "difficulty levels", what fools there is not going to be any end off... Is that too hard to understand? :confused:
Non sequitur. Whether the customer is right or wrong does not follow from organisations having constraints. Only the inability to fulfil their requests, whether they are right or wrong, does.The reality is that organisations have many constraints that mean that they cannot fulfill all of the customers' requests - one of these, of course, is money. It doesn't stop the customer from being correct, however.
So, now the only thing that matters is the numbers? Say, for example, one customer has a wonderful idea that SI creatives feel will massively improve the game. However, when it is raised, the vast majority of the forum disagree with the viewpoint and think that direction would be very harmful. Should SI invest resources in following that idea based on their own understanding of its creative merit, or should they blindly listen to customer numbers?What I meant in that statement was that two opposing customer viewpoints do not need equal weight, due to the fact that there is no such thing as a "model customer". Every customer plays the game differently. Developing a product should not (always) disproportionately favour the minority as this runs the risk of upsetting the majority.
For example, a minority of users would like to customise stadium names, but a majority are fine - therefore a stadium rename function should not be made mandatory or in-your-face.
Both sets of customers are therefore equally right, but as a whole, the impact should be relatively proportionate.
We are not really talking about my notions of what FM should be. We are talking about how you manage the creative process. My core point is that although some users will provide excellent feedback, other user ideas sit in opposition or irrelevance to the strategic direction of the game and will dilute the creative process. SI cannot, indeed must not, listen to them. They have to be able to sift though the chaff to find the wheat and they need a process for doing so. You can semantically argue that all the feedback is 'right' because 'customers are always right', but it cannot be treated so, as it harms creativity.Yes. Contrary to popular belief, your viewpoint is just one of the many viewpoints a customer has, and therefore is not "the" right way to go.
There is clearly a market for more "arcade-like" functions - one day, SI might go down this route if it makes money.
If you think more "arcade" functions are wrong, then understand that someone who thinks they are "right" also thinks that your notion of a more "traditional" or "non-EA" approach is ridiculous.
The reality is that SI will not want to reinvent the wheel and will have their own strategic goals and direction, and that "arcade" functions are probably not on that agenda unless it will make them lots of money. If that was the case, the ideal game would mask these features if they are not warranted, satisfying both "sets" of customers.
I'm struggling to follow your logic now. Everyone who wants something that will upset the vast majority and sits against the creative and strategic direction of the game is right? That simply means everything is right. If my feedback is that I want the game to simulate the team bus being driven to the game, then that is right and correct just because I, as a customer, said it? And it should be treated just as seriously as detailed and accurate feedback about ME bugs?Therefore: Yes, everyone who wants things like a "buy a house" feature is correct - however, it would require a ton of effort and it is obvious that it would be difficult to do this without upsetting the rest of the userbase, so this will probably be a very low-priority goal. Nicking the entire FIFA Manager base, however, would give huge returns - high-risk, high-return.
Personally, I'm not a fan of these things, but then again, I'm not representative of all FM fans. I'm just a single data point.
It's a wonderful ideal. However...My aim is to satisfy every customer, taking into account my limited resources and skills. My strategic goal is to grow my consumer-base, which is a further constraint, but I can only grow my consumer-base if I listen to those who are unhappy with my software or do not use my software for whatever reason.
Every customer is right, but it may not be in my power to satisfy them all. Nevertheless, if I had that power, I would use it to write a perfect piece of software.
I write software for users, and I take complaints seriously. It's not management, nor rocket science.
You need to have a process that determines whether the customer has a legitimate unhappiness or is just a difficult customer. If you do not have this process, then you are simply at the beck and call of customers who aren't going to be satisfied no matter what you do. Following their lead then alienates your genuine customer base and loses you customers, because you are no longer improving the core elements of the customer experience, the things that made them use your product in the first place. Instead, you are sidetracked down the impossible journey of trying to make the serially unhappy happy. Secondly, how on earth do you get legitimate feedback from customers not using your product?
You need to be able to determine between legitimate feedback that facilitates the improvement of your product down the creative and strategic route you are happy with and feedback that is moaning for the sake of moaning or is so marginal and off-base that implementing it will harm your product. I am sure you have processes in place that identify the useful from the less than useful feedback. You might semantically argue that all of the feedback is 'right', but you will not be treating it thus, or your creativity will suffer and the product efficacy will dilute. You are right, it is not rocket science. However, it is management.
Personally, I'm undecided on the issue.
I've come to the conclusion that the problem is simply that form is literally everything in this game, if you get a run going the game is ludicrously easy, I've had a couple of saves where my good form got locked in to the point that it seemed I could not lose, you get no injuries and everything goes your way, the most laughable single game I had was where I had a man sent off after 3 minutes only to dominate possession and win 4-0. The flip side is that if you get on to a bad run it's virtually impossible to turn it around because you'll experience endless 'super-goalies' and last minute winners/equalisers against you ( not to mention the ridiculous injury blizzards ). Either way it gets to the point that you don't feel like you have much influence over the game, certainly little things like tactics seem to have far less effect than form....
All this leads to deeply frustrating losing saves and unsatisfying winning ones.... A pretty toxic gameplay combination.
I remember the version when i was relegated. It was 8-9 years ago. Got promoted to first league and next year relegated. ANd i really tried all my best to stay in the league. But no, game was hard and i liked that. That cant happen today, even to a player who is playin FM for the first time. TOday, people are to lazy and want to be instant winners. I dont know why, i guess they dont have much time. Point is , game is much better if you really success with your own skill. If you have team for mid table and you was 6th, thats great! But today they all want to be winners in first few seasons without thinking too much. CLick click people.
I dont wanna give any advice to SI, they are wise and i think they will find solution in the future. 37% of people who voted definitely are not happy. Its time to make some options for harcore and casual gamers.
Btw, last few weeks i play 2 other games, they deserve 10 from 10, but i have 0 posts on their forums. I wanna write review for them on some review sites, but im to busy playin. I wish i can say same for FM.
FM dont have much bugs. FM runs great. FM is still best manager game. But i dont have that feelin like i had before. Before when i won something, i really had to give my best to do that. Today game is just about morale. Even that morale is too easy. I didnt read any tips etc, but i always say good to my players and they are happy in 90% with what i said to them.
I really dont know what kind of people play this game today. i just cant understand them. If you want easy games, go out and play football with kids who are 5 years old. make some crazy tackles. score 10 goals. But leave this football simulation to people who wanna challenge. Easy is only option for you, because you are lazy and this game deserve better then to be for kids under 10 years old. YOu have editor and cheat there if you wont, but this game will be harder in the future.
In FIFA12, if i wont to win the game on legendary level, i must play my A game all 90 min. But when i win im really happy with that. In this FM, i can click for the start of the game and go to make some coffee. Secund half i can talk on the phone and read newspapers. Are we talking about excitement, gameplay, fun? Or winning something we didnt deserve, so we dont care too much anymore?

I tried the pinuccio gpp patch and the game brings more challenge!!
Played 5 games: 3W 0D 2L with Nott Forest Lost 2-1 at Brighton and 1-0 at Southampton.
Also with this patch the gameplay its more realistic and with less goals! Before that i won games easily like 5-0 / 6-1 / 4-0.
Thank u very much!
By the way, if SI/Sega would like to try to nick some of FIFA Man's fanbase, all they had to do was aquiring rights and releasing the game in German-speaking territories, in which EA/Bright Future have established a market that is a total monopoly. Not only by shutting out FM, but also rival German series that have existed before. There isn't much of an established player base beyond that area, in Italy the series has already been axed. The fact that even weeks after its release there isn't much press coverage on bigger international gaming portal such as IGN or Gamespot should give you an idea how many players there are to convince outside of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. You'd think that given their more "light-hearted" approach to management games and carrying the popular FIFA brand name on the box they would have established themselves in particular amongst people who think Football Manager has become too massive and difficult, but this never really happened. Not only a testament to the power of brand recognition (Football Manager is to management games what Coca Cola is for soft drinks), but also a testament to Football Manager's still pretty universal appeal amongst wannabe managers. The depth is there if you want it to (live scouting a hot prospect in South Africa? Sure.), but you can also just fire up a game and play a couple matches after a day of work and let the assistants handle the more elaborated details.
This is also the only area in all of Europe in which FIFA Manager is considered superior by the press - and it is being touted as the "FC Barcelona of manager sims" (German quote from goal.com) year in year out, often times the only reason for it being that there is a minority who has actually ever given Football Manager a shot. It is well documented that even some gaming journalists don't know about the game - the same people that are giving unanimous praise to the horrible live sim of FIFA Man 12 this year because they often don't know better. And despite it all, the German community is slowly growing each year because a lot of FIFA Manager players who actually give it a whirl rarely go back, because the core of a football management game, the match sim and how its portraying matches and player attributes, the transfer mechanics, the interactivity of the world including player interaction, input to feedback ratio and player/club/competition database are way more sound - I was coming from Total Club Manager too.

Too easy or not, I think it's objective to say the AI is particularly stupid, and maybe more than expected .
Look at Pinuccio, maybe the first person to offer sliders for a FM, i'd never seen that before :
If the effects of tactic_templates file are confirmed, it could mean AI is unable to adapt individual instructions to its players attributes ! (It would also mean all our victories in FM since the beginning are even more worthless)
But it may be too ridiculous to be true, I do not see SI to develop a so basic AI making coaches attributes very useless.
When people first load up Fifa Manager they see a shiny brand new Ferrari. It looks fantastic, its features look innovative and intuitive. Its interface is impressive and easy to control. Unfortunately when you start the engine you realise you've been had. Instead of that lovely purring Ferrari engine humming away, you hear a horrible cluncky 1979 second hand Vauxhaull Viva thats well past its MOT. And soon after that you realise that all those shiny new features and the very core of the game is a sham too.
When people first load up Football Manager they see a bland interface, no Ferrari logo (ie fifa licence), and on the whole a pretty basic design - especially the 3D which could be a big selling point to new players. They become instantly dissapointed because its not love at first sight, then they quickly go back to their pseudo-Ferrari without even giving Football Manager a spin round the race track. If they had, they'd soon find out where that Ferrari's engine really is!
I think word of mouth is the way FM will crack the German market. BF/EA keep churning out poor games imho, they look great at first, but are usually unistalled within a month, people will only take so much before ditching their games for other options. And as for the press considering FIFA Manager to be superior, all the press have been for the last 20 years are intellectual prostitutes the world over (and I use the word intellectual in its loosest sense).
I never played fifa manager, but i remember total club manager. I was reading that fifa manager match engine is very bad. I wish that fifa manager is better, or some new manager game to make some good progress, because FM needs some kind of the competition. IN early 90s they had competition, but SI was just too good for them. In last 10 years they dont have competition at all, thats not good either.
But when we are talking about PES and FIFA(im old PES fan) ,FIFA is much better today. So realistic and so many modes to play, brilliant game.And AI is REALLY good this year. I cant belive that team from Canada can make such good football game. People from Europe didnt make great football game since Sensible Soccer and that was looong time ago. weird because its our number one sport. And one more thing, FIFA is brutally hard if you play on highest level plus Tactical Defending. I never played so hard to beat football game. And i love it.
Last few days i have mixed feelings about Football Manager and me. Maybe i really ask too much from the game. Not just me, but all hardcore gamers. Im playin this game for 19 years, no wonder its easy too me. Maybe i should stop playin for few years and then come back. Im just too good because i played too much. ANd AI is almost the same in last 10 years. If i stop playin, maybe AI will be better in few years. I know PaulC and SI team can make this game harder, they know much more then me. THey can make some mod for old veterans of this game, just for fun. Or at least mod friendly game.

I have been a official beta tester for the3dmatch fifamanager12.Fifamanager12 is very different from previous editions,and the difficulty has been increased and the AI of the game has been a considerable increase.The only problem is the length of time.In fifamanager is not possible to have a real-life match.That's why I'm playing footballmanager. Most other reasonsare strictly confidential.

Though improved from the early days when teams were always fielding a 4-4-2 regardless of any of your intput(!), making out player types and setting tactics is still a fantasy. For instance, it is not unlikely for a vastly inferior side from two league tiers below to dominate possession, and strikers from your reserve squad skinning your first team central defenders with bonafide Zidane tricks is not an oddity, but a frequent thing to happen. Worst of all, there are options and check boxes pretending to offer tactical depth, but as soon as you try to employ a more defensive style of play and tick those boxes (time wasting, cautios passing, etc.) you'll notice that teams are completely uncapable of holding the ball or onto a lead, that defenders aren't involved in build-up play in any kind of way and that you cannot order your team to play anything else but a direct attacking game. In short: Your options to tactically react and act are close to zero.
The praise the 3d is getting in parts of the German press really is that ridiculous, sorry for the off-topic rant, but it is that puzzling. At least the community appears to have picked up the message by now that though it might offer a couple of more entertaining moves upfront, in essence it is as rubbish as ever. And that is only the match calucation. FIFA Man has nice features, but the core mechanics simply cannot compete on the same levels. The match calculation is the most obvious one, but there are others as well.

Yes Erimus1876, but some people think we are weird. They think "why they dont want to be first in the league?" Of course we want to be the first, but on some realistic terms. If i have squad for 18-20th place, its unrealistic that im in top 5. That can happen maybe once in 20 seasons.

Every team I start with ends up champion in 1-2 seasons. I can't comprehend how anyone can manage to relegate in this game.
And I remember clearly FM06 when it took me 5 seasons to win a promotion with Swansea, good old times - used to enjoy the challenge so much...
saying that reminds me of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk30S...eature=related

My sadistic preference for relegation battles comes from supporting a club thats been in its fair share, and only won 1 trophy in 136 years. Sad I know
my bury one seems right, sittign mid league 1
getting some oddites. liverpool unbeaten until january?
i am not finding it difficult per-se, but transfers as man utd are horrid, no one sells up, any offers are junk (or unaffordable with 20 mill budget and wage limits) so buidling the team i want is difficult.
but scoring with what i have no problem
beat liverpool 5-1 at OT chelsea 3-1 home and away, won some cup games 7-0, and vidic has scored 11 goals before january?
BTW, just seen Someone as Ipswich who beat Real Madrid 8-1 how realistic? Funny though, if I had a result like that I would quit tbh :o
I can't buy a win for my QPR side in first season, no transfer budgets allowed. Only currently 3 points above relegation zone with 3 games left. Helped by Sunderland not winning a game until the 25th of the season
yea i know vidic scores loads from corners, thats why i bought delap, so i can score from throws as well
FWIW found the 1st season in BSS ridiculously easy, 2nd season I'm still outperforming expectations in the BSP, but it feels more of a challenge. Whether Droylsden should be challenging the top places in the BSP is another thing, but this season I'm actually trying to think about what to do rather than just name a team and watch them win
imo it's the veterans of Championship/Football manager that have made the series what it is and if they don't revamp the AI to make it more challenging for us then this will be the last version I buy.
Have you tried? I know you've tried,and you see the differences. If you change the value of race attacking,we immediately see that by entering a value of 3 instead of 1,run forward and become dangerous.So the file in some way interacts with the tactics.Do not play with AI, but with the tactic .If the original file and then use this new template, the changes are obviouseven to the blind.
It is probablya political speech,SIGAMdoes not want to be modified with an external file and want to solve the3dmatch with an official update.
In fact, I wonder,if the file does nothing,because closing the conversation? So,if itdoes nothing, saysPaulC, causes no damage.
However, it isavailable in myweb page andsitewww.soccermanageritalia.com.

People can choose to believe me if they want, obviously.
lol...im finding this whole template thing rather amusing
Pinuccio is like a dog with a bone....wont let it drop
oh dear god. some people just don't give up...
So where do we stand on the patch fixing the difficulty? I don't have the time to read trough all of these posts so if someone could just give me the latest updates? Thx.
i think the next patch,whenever that may be ,will sort out the morale issue and exploited corners bug....as well as probably a million other things as always
No Paul,I do not want the war of the devil.
I also do not earn anything.
I believe in what SIGAMe told you to say.
But we also believe what we see in the3dmatch, and are not the only one,there is also a team of beta testers who has seen the differences.
That's it.
For me the issue is closed.
Best Friends.hello

Anyway... any news on when the patch is coming out? I'm personally quite looking forward to the balance changes, incremental as they are.
The next update has no release date set as yet but it should be weeks rather than months. In terms of this thread the main changes should be:
1) Better share of set piece goals between AI and human teams due to better AI routines and it being harder to get a header on target under duress
2) More effect of manager reputation vs player reputation in terms of team talk reaction and match motivation.
3) Some small tweaks to the ME to balance things out a bit better for all teams
4) A more balanced morale system where the high and lower ends have shorter "shelf life" for players, and it being harder to "top up" morale using tricks like team talks and team meetings. Hopefully the game will become a tad less streaky form wise.....
Good sound.We hope not to wait long time.
I would like to focus also on the tactics of play that uses the CPU, those in the root folder of the game,tac files,I have open this files with a particular program,and I noticed that they are all regulated on standards philosophy .It would be interesting to give the CPU the ability to use multiple modules tactical offensive and defensive.This is because the human user, can setup the offensive game of his tactics,instead, the CPU uses modules with standard tactical philosophy.
Last edited by pinuccio; 29-11-2011 at 14:09.
Number 4 will fix a " cheat " when individual chats with players always led to 1 or even 2 morale step increase if the right statement was told.
Good news
What do you mean Paul for " better " balance in point #3 instead ?
Re point 3 - I just mean I have fixed a handful of issues that improve the balance of the game. Nothing severe - mainly isolated issues that dont knock on too much across the ME.

Can you use へ and に interchangeably, as in 北海道へ行く and 北海道に行く? Are there any subtle differences in the use of these two?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There is a very subtle difference between the two--with に, the destination is more important; with へ, the journey is more important. You might use に if you want to say you're going "to the store" and へ if you want to say you're going "in the direction of the store [and ending up there]."
Is there a lot of practical difference in how they are used? Not really.
Side note to the question but relevant:
Use only へ when you want to use the grammatical construct 〜への〜.
I've always seen に as meaning going somewhere directly without any intention of stopping, whereas へ shows that they are going that way, but if they see something interesting they may stop or make a detour.
On a pedantic note, there is an old saying the goes like
which shows how each dialect used different particle to say 北海道○行く around that time. 京 is for Kyoto, 筑紫(つくし) is Kyushu and 坂東 is Kanto/Tohoku.
Being just a layperson on Japanese linguistics, I'll just stop here, but I'm sure a more learned person will have a lot to say about why the place of に and へ are different between the two quotes above, and how these regional differences came about.
Those 2 threads asking the same question should be merged and maybe become wiki to be edited easily (particles questions are recurrent)
see also: How to use へ (-e), に (-ni), まで (made) and の方 (no-hō) with destination and direction?
To sum up and try to correct some of the answers already given:
-へ is the direction particle. You could say it focuses on the journey
-に is the destination particle. It focuses on the destination.
-まで Is a final destination particle as well but implies that you're coming from somewhere (から) and thus that there's some distance between the 2 points.
-のほう(の方) means in the direction of. It could be used in a case where you are giving direction to someone:
(walk 300m towards the post office and you will see the middle school on your right)
へ is also used to soften に in some cases, since it's slightly more vague. For instance, at a restaurant I saw a sign posted over a counter that used something like 「こちらへ食器をお返し下さい」.

One of my life goals was to learn how to surf, and as you can see by the above photo, I have crossed another thing off my to-do list. While on my recent trip to Maui I made it a point to sign up for surf lessons and I found myself under the tutelage of a rad dude named Sonny at Maui Wave Riders in Lahaina. My lesson began at 7am one brisk morning in Lahaina and I'll admit I didn't know how things would go. Having been an athlete for most of my life, I knew my coordination would be a bonus, but riding waves never seemed like a sport that came easy – I didn't want to fail, I wanted to do well. My instructor was encouraging with a tough edge and equipped us with the best surfing advice possible "never put your head down." After a bit of on land warm up and practice, we hit the ocean for what would be an incredible experience for me in Maui. Let's just say, I'm going to try to surf a whole lot more while on vacation.
Believe it or not, I only fell once while on my board, and it was my first attempt. I was feeling pretty boss for a beginner. Now who would like to join me next time?

Balancing It All: Fitness, Nutrition and Life
By The FIRM Master Instructor Kelly Branning
I am a Libra. Although I don't read my horoscope, I do identify with those scales that represent my sign. Balance, balance and more balance. It is a daily challenge to keep those scales from tipping over. One side seems overloaded with the things we do for others and the outside world, like family, career, social life and housework. The other side of the scale, including exercise and nutrition, usually threatens to let go at any time.
I think the absolute foundation of a balanced life is good self-care, coupled with good self-awareness. That said … how are you doing? How is your eating? Do you get everything you need from the foods you eat? Hopefully you are eating healthy, life-affirming foods every 3-4 hours. How about exercise? Are you finding a little time to work out and get stronger? If you don't know how you are doing, let's take some time to figure it out.

When my brother, Davey Crockett, moved to Kentucky, our mother was concerned about the state of his Christmas tree - to wit, she believed him incapable of decorating a tree or even purchasing decorations.
I had a more optimistic view, but I was ignored - as usual.
She calmed down after he married my sister-in-law, Glinda the Good Witch - so called because she transformed him into a better and happier man. It's magic.
In light of her worry, we sent ornaments each year in his Christmas care package. This year, Grandmama wanted to send an "Our First Married Christmas" ornament, so, dutiful daughter I am, the children and I set out to purchase one.
"Do you have any 'First Married Christmas' ornaments?" I asked the sales clerk.
He showed us several.
"Let the children pick one," I said. "Davey will think it's cute."
They chose a heart-shaped one that doubled as a locket, with space for an engraved message and a photo. The children decided to have Davey and Glinda's monogram and wedding date engraved on it.
They picked it; I paid for it. I could pick it up the next day.
If only it were that simple.
When I arrived for pick up, I was shown the engraving plate. Being it was correct, I gave the go-ahead for it to be glued into the locket.
It didn't stick.
As the saleswoman applied the extra-sticky tape, she told me about someone who purchased the same ornament, but kept it on hand daily because they were comforted by it. How sad, I thought, that their spouse died so early in their marriage.
The plate properly applied, she boxed everything up and said, quite kindly, "I'm sorry for your loss."
"Um, what?"
" ... it's a memorial ornament."
I must have blanched, because she opened the box and showed me - on the front of the locket was verse to the effect the loved ones we lose never leave us.
"I specifically asked for a 'First Married Christmas' ornament," I said.
I was thinking something to the effect of "no, I absolutely can't send this ornament to my brother and sister-in-law, what will they think if I do?" but didn't want to be one of those problem customers at Christmas, so tried to maintain my composure. I probably didn't do as well as I wanted. I'm almost certain I was twitching.
She showed me a second ornament, identical in every way, except the front said "Our First Christmas." It was quite nice. I may have been stunned into silence, which just goes to show how upset I was.
The saleswoman offered to pull the plate off one and put it on the other. However, no dice, because of that extra-sticky tape.
They could re-engrave a plate for the "First Christmas" ornament, but it would take another day.
"I've got to send it to Kentucky!" I wailed, crossing the line into problem customer territory.
In that case, they could have it done tonight.
I called Grandmama on the way out. "We can't send the package today. Instead of a 'First Christmas' ornament, I was accidentally given a memorial one."
A long silence, then "what?"
"It says something like 'we never truly lose loved ones.' Not 'Our First Christmas.'"
"You can't send that to them, Glinda will think we don't like her! Davey might think we're trying to say he's dead to us because he married her!"
I assured her it was being handled, we would only have to wait one more day before sending the package.
She'll never get over her ornament phobia now, but at least I got a column out of it.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

The 5 Stupidest Excuses Ever Given in a Political Scandal
#2. Those Huge Cellphone Bills Were from Calling My Boyfriend, Who Is on a Secret Mission
The Scandal:
Politicians abusing their expense accounts is nothing new, from U.S. senators paying for hookers to the U.K. parliamentary expenses scandal. But whereas most get something tangible out of their embezzlement -- a top-notch blowjob or a neatly manicured lawn, for example -- Norwegian parliament member Saera Khan went for something more ... ethereal.
Don't be impressed. She's playing Angry Birds on that thing.
In September of 2008, it emerged that Norway's parliament had refused to pay Khan's cellphone bill because the total was more than double that of any other member. So right now you're probably thinking, "Phone sex, duh," and nine times out of 10 you'd be right on the money, but Khan had in fact spent thousands of dollars calling psychic hotlines.
Not that she admitted that in public, oh no. Khan said she had a perfectly valid excuse for her sky-high phone bills. A few of them, actually.
"I like to prank call Canadians. At this point, it's sort of an addiction."
The Excuse:
First, Khan claimed that they were due to calling her family back in Bangladesh. But investigators quickly saw right through that excuse, presumably because nobody wants to talk to their family that much. So then Khan claimed that the charges were from satellite phone calls to her boyfriend, who was a special forces soldier serving with the Norwegian army in Afghanistan. But the Norwegian army was all like, "Nuh uh. Never heard of him." So then she was all, "Oh, did I say Norwegian army? What I really meant was that he's with Britain's special forces. And he's on a totally secret foreign mission, so I totally can't tell you who he is or where or anything." But then, surprise surprise, the British ISAF responded that it's illegal for soldiers to use satellite phones when they're on commission.
"Distracted driving is a major problem for the SAS."
Finally, apparently plumb out of fictitious boyfriends, she came clean, admitting that she had spent a total of $7,750 over a three-month period calling psychic hotlines, never wondering why people with magical mind powers would have to take minimum wage jobs at a call center. She called them so often, in fact, that some of the psychics told her to stop calling.
"Sorry, ma'am, but the cosmic spirits tell me this is 'just getting sad.'"
Why someone investigating the matter couldn't have, oh, we don't know, maybe looked at the freaking phone bills to see what numbers she was calling in the first place, we're not quite sure. Maybe they should have consulted a psychic.
#1. I Needed This Gay Prostitute to Carry My Luggage
The Scandal:
George Rekers, or "Professor George," as he likes to refer to himself, has been a prominent player in the anti-gay lobbyist scene in America for over 30 years, even serving on the board of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), an organization dedicated to the noble cause of turning gay people straight. Now that you know that, you also know what's coming next. So enjoy this photo of the good professor returning to Miami International Airport after a 10-day trip to London and Madrid with his gay prostitute pal:
Miami New Times
Remember: It's not hypocrisy if it happens in Europe.
That's right: In 2010, Professor G was caught returning from a European vacation with young Jo-Vanni Roman, whom he had hired via Rentboy.com, a website that specializes in helping its users ... rent boys, we guess?
Just so there's no misunderstanding: According to in-depth research that we at Cracked totally outsourced (really), in order to access the personal profiles of those offering their services on Rentboy.com, you have to: accept the terms and conditions; scroll through a homepage filled with looping videos of young men busily rubbing various parts of their anatomies; choose your "service" (sugar daddy, masseur, or rentboy); and choose your location. Jo-Vanni's profile was on the second page of the Miami results.
Nope. Nothing sexually suggestive here at all.
The Excuse:
In what seems to have been the penultimate update to his personal website (the ultimate one being the announcement of his resignation from NARTH to concentrate on fighting the false allegations of homosexual behavior), the G-Man posted the following statement:
A recent article in an alternative newspaper cleverly gave false impressions of inappropriate behavior because of its misleading innuendo, incorrectly implying that Professor George Rekers used the Rentboy website to hire a prostitute to accompany him on a recent trip ... [F]ollowing medical advice Professor George Rekers requires an assistant to lift his luggage in his travels because of an ongoing condition following surgery ... Dr. Rekers found his recent travel assistant by interviewing different people who might be able to help, and did not even find out about his travel assistant's Internet advertisements offering prostitution activity until after the trip was in progress ...
Maybe the ads were different on the day he visited.
So it's all a big misunderstanding, see? George just needed a "travel assistant" to help him with his "luggage." The only possible weak point in that story is that, other than the fact that the rented boy in question confirmed that they did in fact meet via the website and that his daily job duties included nude massages -- Rekers' favorite part of which was a maneuver aptly named the "long stroke" (we'll let your imagination fill in the details on that one) -- the photograph accompanying the story clearly shows Rekers pushing the luggage through the Miami airport himself.
His boy toy was far too delicate for manual labor.
But we're going to give Professor G-Diddy the benefit of the doubt on this one. Because everyone knows that a "smooth, sweet, tight ass" and a "perfectly built 8-inch cock (uncut)" (as described in Jo-Vanni's Rentboy profile) are the main qualifications one should look for when hiring a svelte young travel assistant to "lug" one's "baggage."
Everyone does know that, right?

Charlotte hit a trio of home runs for the first time in a game this season and swept a Saturday home doubleheader from visiting Siena by a 9-3 final in game two at Robert and Mariam Hayes Stadium. The 49ers improve to 13-5 on the season, dropping the Saints to 3-12. Charlotte won 5-3 in game one earlier in the afternoon.
The 49ers put up two runs in the bottom of the first, the fourth time this season they have scored in the opening frame. Outfielder Michael Green (Richmond, Va. / Thomas Dale HS) scored the first tin on an RBI single past the first baseman and outfielder J.J. Elseser (Brunswick, Ga.) was quickly driven home with an RBI single by senior third baseman Shane Basen (Waxhaw, N.C. / Marvin Ridge HS). Green has reached base safely in all 14 games he has played in this season.
For the fourth time in the series, Siena matched Charlotte's run total to even the contest. The Saints plated two runs on a single by third baseman Brian Fay to level the score.
In the bottom half of the second, Charlotte pushed across five runs on four hits and a fielding error, the capper coming on a two-run blast to left from junior outfielder Justin Seager (Kannapolis, N.C. / Northwest Cabarrus HS) to make it 7-2. Elseser had a pair of RBI in the inning and Basen delivered his second of the game with a single.
That score held until the top of the fifth when Brett Lang (Charlotte, N.C. / Ardrey Kell HS) hit a solo homer to left, followed two batters later by an inside-the-park homer from freshman catch Nick Daddio (Huntersville, N.C. / Hough HS) who scored when the Siena right fielder had his jersey catch in the bullpen fence chasing down the ball down the line and he could not get free, allowing Daddio to motor home.
The Saints got a run on two hits in the ninth for the final scoring play of the afternoon.
Charlotte junior starting pitcher Brock Hudgens (Jamestown, N.C. / Southwest Guilford HS) tied his career high with eight strikeouts in the contest. He lasted five innings, giving up six hits and a pair of walks for the two runs against him.
The loss went to freshman starter Bryan Goossens, who fell to 0-3 on the season. Only two of the seven runs charged to him were earned in two innings pitched. He allowed eight hits, but recorded no walks or strikeouts in the contest.
Reliever Ryan Mas (Matthews, N.C. / Butler HS) was tagged with a run in the ninth, but struck out three in the final four innings, scattering four hits for his first career save. Hudgens and Mas combined to strike out 11, a new season-high for the staff in a agame this season.
Charlotte ends the 13-game home stand with the series finale against Siena Sunday at noon.
NOTES: Charlotte is 4-0 when scoring a run in the first inning and 10-0 when scoring more than five runs in a game... The Niners are 9-0 when the opponent scores three (5-0) or four (4-0) runs in a game this season... The last three-homer game for Charlotte came last April 20 in a home contest versus Saint Joseph's... Both times this season Seager has homered, Land followed with one later in the game... Both have two homers this season... Charlotte has not lost when leading after the sixth inning (10-0) this season... With the attendance at 1,141 for the doubleheader, Charlotte has posted sellouts (1,110+ fans) in five of the last six home games.

Don't forget the free BlueProton USB 2.0 SDHC Reader Black (B0019447JQ) when you get this, its with the Special Offers a $3.09 value.
Just be warned the casing on these is pretty cheap. I know some USB ports can be snug, but it took no time at all for the glue to break on mine and it slipped right out of the casing. Very annoying.
@z89s: dont see any "special offers"...where should I look on the amazon page?
These are great for the car stereo.
To get the special offer do a search using the SKU # B0019447JQ and just add to cart
@z89s: It looks like I'm getting charged nearly $4 to ship the "Free" item. Has that been anyone elses experience?
@offline999 yes, same problem... even though I added both items using the "add both" button under special offers, the "free" item isn't properly showing as free, and also not eligible for FSSS
I did as everyone suggested and placed my order accordingly. At the very last step of my order, nothing was deducted for the "Free BlueProton". What am I doing wrong here?
i purchased this item from another veder. while i am very happy with the storage capacity and speed, I am not so happy that the cap falls off all the time. when it was new the cap fit tight, however after very short use it became lose and would fall off, the other end as well got lose and i had to poxy it in to the case to stay.
I had to jump through hoops to get the "deal" with the freebie. Even Amazon chat was no help. What I had to do was see all vendors for the 32GB stick and buy it from Blue Proton and NOT fulfilled by Amazon. Then I added the "free" adapter which you end up paying shipping on. It gave me the deal at checkout. But I figure I paid about $5 for the adapter over just purchasing the 32GB stick alone.
@jarjarchared: same thing happen to me, and now i cant find it.
Has anyone tried these for a Nintendo Wii or Playstation 2 to see if they're recognized by homebrew?
Shipping for just he USB drive is $8?! Add the "Special Offer" and it goes to $11.97.
Looks like the retailer is trying to make a bit of profit from the shipping.
This offer is more expensive since it is going through "fulfillment by Amazon".
Look here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0052WT1OC/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
Same retailer has it for sale directly for $20.48 including shipping.
@datahaunt: thanks just bought the last one. Ended up only paying $1.33 for shipping after using my amazon reward points. Total $15.62 can't beat that at all.
@jarjarchared: I had the same thing happen, tried to remove it from the USB port and the plastic case came off in my hand. Nothing a little crazy glue didn't fix. Now the cap is pretty loose, it will only stay on in one direction. It's only a matter of time till that gets lost I suppose. The worry for me now is misplacing the drive. It's nice and small which is great but it's so small it easy to forget where you put it.
@jarjarchared: Important safety tip. Thank Egon.

Authorities have recovered a car that was stolen in a carjacking today in Leavenworth.
Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens said the car was recovered late this afternoon by authorities in Kansas City, Kan., and two people were taken into custody.
Leavenworth police had been asking for the public's help in locating two carjacking suspects.
The two men reportedly approached the victim, a 55-year-old Leavenworth man, at Olympic Car Wash, 3107 S. Fourth St., around 12:30 p.m. today. The suspects reportedly displayed a firearm and demanded that the victim turn over his car. The suspects left in the car heading south on Fourth Street. They then turned east on Muncie Road, according to Maj. Dan Nicodemus, deputy chief of the Leavenworth Police Department.
The victim's dog, a 4-year-old miniature pinscher, was still in the vehicle when the suspects drove away. The men reportedly threw the dog from the vehicle while traveling on Muncie Road.
"A citizen saw the dog get tossed from the car," Nicodemus said.
He said the citizen picked up the dog and took it to Leavenworth Animal Control. The dog has been reunited with the victim.
Nicodemus said the dog had suffered some abrasions and a cut. The owner took the animal to a veterinarian to be examined.
The vehicle that was stolen is a silver Cadillac STS.
Kitchens said detectives from the Leavenworth Police Department traveled to Kansas City, Kan., to continue their investigation of the incident.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- The former Avondale East Elementary school building in Topeka's Highland Crest Neighborhood, will soon have new life.
The USD 501 board approved an agreement with the Community Resources Council to create the Avondale East Community Empowerment and Transformation Center.
It will house multiple nonprofits in one location based on the community's needs, targeting the area's high poverty rate.
"We are giving them the empowerment to make a transformation in their lives," Executive Director of CRS Nancy Johnson said. "All we can do is give them the tools."
Patrick Woods is on the USD 501 school board and took part in making the decision to approve the CRC's motion. "It is a wonderful thing to be able to acutally keep our promise in terms of not abandoning the community," he said, "and doing something that exceeds the promise."
The school closed after the 2011-2012 school year, and houses the district's police unit.
The center will open in July.
Also tonight, the district announced it is selling 17 acres of land next to high park high school for a Walmart Supercenter. The land had been donated to the district and they've been trying to sell it for 20 years.
Board members say they're pleased the deal will contribute to development in the area.

I am a landscape photographer who shoots multi-row panoramas - 2x11 frames for a 3:1 ratio using a D200 and a Nikkor 50mm lens (a Nikkor 18-200mm @35mm & @70mm for everything else).
I'd like a recommendation for the best kit for the above - NN 3 or NN5? or NN5L?
Stability and leveling are important to me.
Is the EZ Leveler recommended for the above setup (I use a Benro A357 Tripod with a KB-1 ball head)
For what purposes would I use a Rotator?
What other accessories might I need?
Thanks in advance.

(CNN) -- Jeanne Campbell, who has broken bones in her legs, was sitting in her Lewisburg, West Virginia, home when a massive storm barreled through late last week and a tree came crashing through her roof.
"I just heard the thump on the house and saw the bricks flying, and I was afraid it was gonna come on down through the ceiling," she told CNN on Wednesday.
She managed to get up and move to the center of the house. "Amazing what you can do when you have to," she said.
The tree's impact left a large, visible crack through her ceiling.
Now, days later, Campbell sits on her porch in a wheelchair, surviving record heat with no power and a quickly dwindling supply of food.
Why is it so hot?
Cleanup continues as record heat strikes
Historic heat as millions lack power
Her husband managed to get some staples such as bread. "There was no lunch meat or anything that we found in the stores, but there is always peanut butter," she told CNN with a smile.
"We're tough, we'll make it. West Virginians -- we can make it."
The lack of power and limited food supply have put her in the same boat as millions of others this week.
Triple digit strategies for staying healthy
As of early Wednesday morning, about 1.1 million customers scattered across 11 states, from Indiana to Delaware, had no electricity, down from about 1.8 million late Monday -- and a peak of 4 million over the weekend. A household is considered one customer, so the actual number of people without power is higher.
West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said about 300,000 customers were without power in his state Wednesday morning.
Parts of his state as well as South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska were under heat advisory warnings Wednesday.
Excessive heat warnings were in place for portions of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky. The National Weather Service said that those areas would be scorched with temperatures near or above triple digits.
As Americans celebrate Independence Day on Wednesday, many in the affected regions are focused on finding ways to get by until power can finally be restored.
Eddie Harmon and his family in South Charleston, West Virginia, have spent nights sleeping in the car just to avoid the oppressive heat inside their home. One of his daughters has gone to stay with her grandmother, who has a generator.
He walked to visit some neighbors to make sure they're OK, he said in an iReport.
Getting around is tough because many gas stations have run out of supplies. People are running out of cash as well and the ATMs have run out, he said.
Ironically, a previous power outage paid off, he said. His deep-freeze freezer had 3 inches of solid ice at the bottom because of a power outage two winters ago -- and that helped keep some chicken cold enough to be safe for cooking.
"I actually had cold Corn Flakes last night before I went to bed because I had milk that was still good," he said in a YouTube video Tuesday.
Tomblin said Wednesday that while food is in short supply, "we've made a lot of progress" since the storm.
A food drive was under way Wednesday at the Governor's Mansion. People were lined up bringing donations.
Gadgets to help you survive a power outage
There were "mass dumpings" of spoiled food across the state due to the power outages, and grocery stores in many areas still could not open due to lack of electricity, Tomblin said. Officials were sending "about 40 big truckloads of water around the state each day."
The Democrat praised federal officials for their assistance. The Federal Emergency Management Agency "has responded fantastically," providing generators and ice within hours of the state's request, he said.
West Virginians are used to natural disasters, but this one is different, he said. "You don't see a lot of property damage. It's more of the infrastructure-type damage."
Tomblin said, "The biggest problem we have is a lot of the transmission lines, those huge lines that you see crossing from mountaintop to mountaintop. A lot of those towers were destroyed. So, you know, these are on the sides of mountains. They are difficult to get to." Usually, new supplies can be brought in from neighboring states, but those were hit as well in the storm, so supplies are coming from farther away, including Texas, he said.
Also,"We have had other pop-up storms almost every evening. So a lot of people have been knocked out again. But we are making progress, and we will continue to work around the clock until we get the electricity back on to everyone."
Jeanne Campbell was among those who got power back and then lost it again -- meaning more wasted money and more wasted food.
And with the large tree that shaded her house now down, she can't spend much time indoors. "With a tin roof, it's gonna get even hotter now," she said.
But, she added with a smile, she can deal with the inconveniences. "I'm not worried."
David McMann, in Charleston, West Virginia, has paid a price for the storm and lack of power at his home. He raises koi fish and lost three as a result. "It was hard to watch them die, and stand by knowing I had done all I could do." One of the fish "was 15 years old and had become almost a friend, if that is possible," he said in an iReport.
"This has been an expensive storm for us in more ways than one. This was to have been our vacation. Our traveling has been put off, for we do not have any idea when the power will be restored. I am 63 years old and have been through hurricanes in Virginia and Florida. I have never experienced the wrath of nature any stronger than what blew through these mountains on Friday evening."
While some of the most harrowing tales come from West Virginia, people throughout much of the Northeast have been struggling as well.
Mark Cohen sent iReport a video of his destroyed yard and neighborhood in Mays Landing, New Jersey, showing downed trees, smashed cars and damage to his home. "We would have been better off with a tornado," he said.
Cohen, his daughter and his girlfriend have been sleeping in the basement to stay cool.
Despite damage to his home, Cohen is looking at the bigger picture. "When you see this around you -- I'm not an emotional guy -- you quickly think, 'Wow this is nothing. It could have been so much worse,' " he said.
"You think about the people around the country losing their houses and you can't complain. It's inconvenient, but big picture, we're fine."
The heat-driven storm that started Friday left at least 17 people dead from Ohio to New Jersey. Another three in North Carolina died in a second round of storms Sunday.

Is this a glimpse at Star Wars Angry Birds?
This pre-order is not a deal, but kinda interesting to see this Angry Birds / Star Wars At-At Attack Game.
11 Answers answer
George Lucas must need to buy another Island
If the toy set is any indication as to how the levels will be set up, I'm in for the app.
I like Angry Birds and I like Star Wars. Lucas can have this $1.
But no more than that!
I was that the other night too. I was wondering the same thing. It'd be a fun game that's for sure.
It comes out 11/8
Here's hoping that disembodied Jar-Jar Binks heads are used as explosive devices.
In the famous words of Peter Griffin:
I am so going to be buying the game and the toy. I love angry birds, bad piggies is fun and the kids have a blast making them wreck.
I have never really been excited for a gam release on mobile before but I am totally stocked for this game ....
Meh. It seems a little.....well, non-appish. Like watching an Angry Birds cartoon series or seeing Angry Birds: The Movie. It's starting to stretch a little thin IMHO.
OMG... this is awesome... !!!
