A Helping hand for Agent Orange Families. Read our Mission Statement here.
The new house was built on a small plot of land donated by the commune near her old residence and a young nephew will live with her to help her cope. At the dedication, Dao was a little bewildered and unable to speak, but her sister gave a tearful word of gratitude.
Later that day we visited Nguyen Thi Thu, a 35 year old whose story is almost a direct parallel with Dao's. Her father was also a participant in the war who died many years ago of Agent Orange related cancer. Thu is severely mentally challenged and occupies her day drawing water from a well and pouring it into a big filter jar. She too was unable to converse with us. Her home is one of the worst I have seen here. The mud walls are riddled with cracks and collapsing at the corners of the building. The thatched roof has large missing areas and is at all effective only because of plastic sheeting draped over it. The floor is dirt and the inside is dark but for the light streaming in through the holes in the roof and walls.
We inquired about building a new house for Thu but were told that the land her house stands on has been set aside by the state for future road widening. There are no plans to do this at this time, but new construction or even repairs of the existing house, are forbidden at this location. Further, Thu depends on the kindness and watchfulness of her immediate neighbors for her day to day survival. In order to have a new house, she would have to move away from her lifeline. This is not the first time that we have been stymied in trying to find a way to assist an AO family, but we will be keeping an eye on Thu's situation as we pass by frequently.
Toward the end of the month we spent on the Orange Walk 2009, we spent a day visiting with 5 agent orange affected families in Ha Giang, the northernmost province. We were told that we are the first foreigners to come to the border provinces to visit agent orange victims, and we were received with some surprise and much gratitude.
The first two families we visited were an interesting contrast. At the first, there was an older boy lying alone in a back room of the house. He lay on the hard floor with only a straw mat for comfort. This is common when incontinence is a problem, but frequently results in bad bed sores. We were advised that only a few of us should enter the room at a time because he might get loud or upset with a large group. We were told that he used to be taken out in a wheelchair, but for the last 9 years was kept in this bare room. He was able to express himself a bit, but lacked any significant mobility. I don't doubt his family cares about him, but we left with a feeling that they had given up trying.
At the second visit, we met a girl lying in a wooden platform. But she was in a room with the family and received constant attention and encouragement. Our first reaction to her was "here we go again", but then it became clear that something very different was going on here. I don't want to imply that her disabilities are identical to the boy's. She clearly suffers from severe cerebral palsy. One of the women in our group told her "You're very pretty." We were able to make out her response "So are you." Then a most remarkable thing happened.
First, her parents took her from the bed and tied her to a chair. We weren't sure what was happening, but they asked for our phone numbers and put a phone at her feet. She proceeded with no help, but a lot of encouragement, to dial each of our numbers with one toe on her right foot, correcting her mistakes with the delete button as she went. Her dedication to the task and joy at her success were incredible. I share the whole series below.
Again, without claiming that these two kids start with the same disabilities, they are still a good illustration of the reason behind our goal of working with families of agent orange victims living at home. The kids who are in the formal care centers receive a lot of care and stimulation and encouragement to achieve what they are capable of. The kids living at home, unless they are lucky enough to live near one of the few day care centers (in DaNang, for example), have much less even results, due to poverty, parental exhaustion, or lack of knowledge. We encourage the development of day care centers, but in the many places where that's not possible, we strive to bring resources to the families to improve care on site.
As the Orange Walk passed through our province, we visit the Nguyen Thach family. Quyen and Van, lay seemingly unaware on a straw mat on the floor. Occasionally you feel like you have made a connection and are seeing and being seen by someone behind those eyes, but normally their eyes are half rolled up into their heads and quivering uncontrollably. They are tiny and warm to hold, like sleepy, droopy babies, but they are 6 and 4 years old. Their withered limbs attest to their lack of mobility and their necks are bent backward like unsupported infants. The girls have trouble sleeping at night. Each parent holds one, the dad in the bed and the mom in a hammock, keeping them warm and physically trying to close their eyelids with their hands.
There is a picture of Quyen, the older girl, at age one month, seemingly a normal, healthy infant, but there are no pictures of Van. The parents explained that when Quyen's health declined, friends and relatives told them it was because they had taken photographs of the infant too early. So out of fear of damaging their second child, they avoided taking any pictures. Their learning that they had not caused Quyen's problems was, to say the least, hollow comfort when Van showed signs of the same problems.
Their mother, Pham Thi Suong (34), works mornings in the market, buying produce from neighbors and selling it at whatever small profit she can achieve. The father, Thach (37), stays home all day with the two girls. The family lives on the 60 cents to $1 dollar a day that the mom brings home from the market and a stipend of $13.50 per month from the government. Both grandfathers were in the war (on the ARVN or Southern side, not that it matters). Whether the Agent Orange entered the family through that route or through direct exposure to residual dioxin from the many sprayings in the province cannot be known. In spite of the significant importance of an heir in Vietnamese culture, Thach and Suong are afraid to have another child for obvious reasons.
Their house is adequate and clean, but could use a coat of paint to brighten it up. They have draped a colorful cloth across the ceiling, whether for the benefit of the girls who stare up at all day long or for general aesthetic considerations. It is located right on route 1A, the national highway, directly across from a beautiful bay. There is no running water because of solid rock beneath the property, a problem shared with all of the neighbors on the west side of the highway. The family pays about $3.50 twice a month to have a big pot filled with water. They conserve it carefully to make it last two weeks. In the rainy season they collect water from the roof and from a stream coming off the nearby mountain.
The mom and dad, although they seem to take excellent care of the girls, appear depressed and beaten down, especially the dad, who has no job or gainful outside life. We didn't have enough time for an adequate screening, but Orangehelpers plans to visit this family again soon, to evaluate how we might assist them in a sustainable way to improve the lot of the entire family. Preliminary thoughts include:
· Seeing if there is a way to improve the mom's existing income from the market. Before she was married, the mom had a job in a family business in the next town. It is a rice milling business and she would buy rice and resell it to various businesses and households. Their dream, if they had a few hundred dollars, would be for her to invest in that enterprise and take on that job again. It would have the potential to increase their daily income several fold.
· We thought about helping the dad find some gainful employment, but it was explained that he is really attuned to the girls and their needs and the mom is much more effective outside the home.
· Finding a solution to the water problem. This might be no small matter, but might also help a number of neighboring families, too.
We would welcome any ideas or contributions to assist this family. If you are interested please contact us or visit our website www.orangehelpers.org.

Baby pictures are normally a source of joyous nostalgia. As we sat in the front room of the Ly Van Hay family, we watched their 12 year old son Thanh as he flailed around on the blanket where he spends his days. In spite of his age, he appears to have the cognitive and motor skills of an infant.
During the conversation, I noticed the picture of a happy, healthy infant on the wall and inquired who it was. "Oh, that's Thanh", the mom answered. "When he was four months old he was a perfect baby in every way. But soon after that I noticed some problems in his development. And now you see him today." Thanh is not the only Agent Orange (AO) kid we have met who appeared normal in his early months but then somehow got derailed by this terrible poison.
Seven year old Vo Tran Quoc Sinh (below) giggles and waves his balled fists whenever we pay attention to him, but he never progressed to the crawling stage. His mom is incredibly tender and loving; feeding him, cuddling him, entertaining him with all the energy of the mother of a six month old. But her efforts will not yield the cognitive development a parent hopes for from such attention. He is permanently stalled as a sweet six month old. As with Thanh above, there is a picture on the wall that commemorates an early celebration when Sinh was apparently normal. Ironically the balloons are imprinted with "Happy Birthday" and "Get Well".
I wonder what the mother thinks when she looks at his baby brother who looks hauntingly like the older brother at the same age (below).
Orangehelpers can't help make these kids develop normally. What we are able to do is try to make the families more self sufficient and better able to stand the stresses and strains that confront an AO family. In the case of the second family, when we first interviewed them 6 months ago, they didn't have a plan that would allow us to assist them with an economic grant. Six months later they brought us a business plan for a duck and duck egg hatchery that they wanted to start with an in-law in their common home. Our small grant has helped this family partner in the business and increase their daily income.
If you want to help bring justice to these families, please share Orangehelpers stories, to increase the awareness of people around the world about the plight of these unfortunate kids and families.

How to Play a Sound Over Several PowerPoint 2007 Slides
Sometimes, you want a PowerPoint sound file to play while you display several slides in your PowerPoint presentation. PowerPoint stops a sound when you move to the next slide. You can alter this behavior in two ways. First, if you want a sound to play from the current slide all the way to the end of the show, select the sound, call up the Sound Tools tab on the Ribbon, and set the Play Sound option to Play Across Slides.
If you want more control over how the sound is played, follow these steps:
Select the sound icon.
This calls up whichever sound you want to edit.
Choose the Animations tab on the Ribbon and then click Custom Animation in the Animations group.
The Custom Animation task pane appears to the right of the slide.
Click the down arrow next to the sound item and then choose Effect Options from the menu that appears.
This action summons the Play Sound dialog box.
Select the After option (in the Stop Playing section) and then set the number of slides you want the sound to play for.
When you count the slides, start counting with the slide the sound is on
Click OK.
You're done!
(Optional) Right-click Effects Options to open the Play Sound dialog box, and click the Timing tab.
Set the Repeat option.

Does anybody knows what the two metal items on top of the lens are used for?
Does anybody knows what the two metal items on top of the lens are used for?
That's the metering fork, that was used to send information about the aperture setting from the lens to the camera on older camera models. The camera would have a pin that fits in the fork, so that turning the aperture ring moves the pin.
You can see some images of that here:
That is for coupling the lens aperture mechanically to the old bodies, which had a pin which fit in that groove, so when you turned the lens aperture ring, the body knew what aperture was set.
There is an image here showing the pin:
More specifically, the classic Nikon F's FTn meter required the coupling prong. As did Nikon's cameras that pre-dated the F. The first Nikormat's also used the coupling prong. The F2, which came out in about 1973, used the "AI" coupling, which was a notch in the aperture ring, so they and later Nikons did not use the prong. Nikkor lenses carried the prong for backwards compatibility through the 70s.
The coupling prong is why I shoot Canon. I have a huge collection of lenses for my Nikon F/FTn. I took a few to the local camera store and asked to show how I could use a new body with my old lenses. None of the recent consumer/enthusiast Nikon bodies could even mount the lenses. Sure, the F-mount is the same, but the pentaprism on new bodies sticks out and won't clear the prong.
I mounted them with an adaptor on a Canon DSLR, and it took great photos. So I bought a Canon 50D.
Corrections: (A) The S cameras which predated the F did not use prongs or the F-mount lenses. (B) Early F2s used the prongs as AI was not introduced until 1977, (C) All digital Nikons can use the AI and later lenses. The cameras without internal focusing motors can all use pre-AI lenses (e.g., D40, D3000, D5000).

I'm teaching a linear algebra course this term (using Lay's book) and would like some fun "challenge problems" to give the students. The problems that I am looking for should be be easy to state and have a solution that
Requires only knowledge that an average matrix algebra student would be expected to have (i.e. calculus and linear algebra, but not necessarily abstract algebra).
Has a solution that requires cleverness, but not so much cleverness that only students with contest math backgrounds will be able to solve the problem.
An example of the type of problem that I have in mind is:
Fix an integer n>1. Let S be the set of all n x n matrices whose entries are only zero and one. Show that the average determinant of a matrix in S is zero.

Plasticin animation or claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable" - made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay. All traditional animation is produced in a similar fashion, whether done through cel animation or stop motion. Each frame, or still picture, is recorded on film or digital media and then played back in rapid succession. When played back at a frame rate greater than 10–12 frames per second, a fairly convincing illusion of continuous motion is achieved.

Senior Manager of Shopper Marketing, Johnson & Johnson
Where am I?
That was the first thought Gonca had when she stepped off the plane in Cedar Rapids with two suitcases and a backpack to her name. She traveled from her home in Istanbul, Turkey to pursue her dream of an MBA with a sense of adventure and determination.
Gonca came to Tippie with a political science undergraduate degree and is quick to admit she had a lot to learn about marketing. And in typical Gonca style, she met the challenge head on through her hard work and immersion in the Tippie culture.
Gonca advises MBA students to "take control of your own career, because you are in charge of developing yourself and only you can do the best job." Gonca's approach paid off when she was hired by Philip Morris as a Territory Sales Manager.
After developing her knowledge of category management and pricing strategies, she joined Catalina Marketing where she was promoted to Director of Business Development. She said her experience in this position taught her to "balance what your customer wants to do, meet brand objectives with targeted marketing solutions, and meet your own company's revenue goals."
Gonca currently holds the new position of Senior Manager of Shopper Marketing at Johnson & Johnson, a Fortune 50 company. She's built her role from the ground up and her impact has already led to the development of an expanded team of shopper marketers.
Gonca Paul proves that taking a risk has rewards for those who are willing to approach opportunities with an open mind and drive to be the best. She says that her time as an MBA at Tippie played a large part in her successful career.
"To me, it was one of the best experiences I've had to prepare myself not just for my career, but for life in general."

People have been requesting a multi-row lens ring mount pano head. I think it is time to make them happy.
The first model use the vertical rail from NN3 and QRC-40B from the Ultimate line. A new upper rotator is made to fit QRC-40B. Lower rail from NN3 can also be used. But I decide to make a shorter rail to use with the new rotator mini. The result is a compact spherical lens ring mount pano head.
Can you suggest a good name for it? what about one that utilize the lower rail of NN3?
Here is a bigger model using the vertical rail and upper rotator of NN4.
I also make a shorter lower rail for it. For camera and lens above 1.25kg, this model is needed. Of course, rails from Ultimate line can also be used. So it can be a hybrid of NN4 and Ultimate M series.
Can you suggest a good name for it? what about one using the original long lower rail of NN4?
Thx a lot in advance.

The Fort Steuben Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution met Nov. 10 at Scaffidi's Restaurant with Chapter Regent Jo Ann Morrison presiding.
Second Vice Regent Karen Blanc led members in opening ceremonies, and Carol Skerbetz gave the invocation, blessing and benediction.
The chapter welcomed Lisa Carte as a new member. Morrison and First Vice Regent Nancy Valles inducted Carte, who was presented an American flag and NSDAR flag.
A report was given by Beverly Livingston, treasurer.
A thank-you note from a DAR contest winner and a City of Weirton Proclamation for Indian Heritage Month were read.
Morrison introduced prospective members Mary Anne Jesse, Maralyn Ridgeway, Jeannie Vega, Mary Wood, Lauren Costello, Beverly Costello, Kalen Costello, Jesse Ferrari and Alexis Carte.
Skerbetz gave the Indian Minute reporting on Black Hoof, the Shawnee Chief who fought for 40 years to hold lands north of the Ohio River. He was rumored to have lived to be 100 years old. National Defender Chair Bonnie Slemmer reported that on Oct. 20, at the Arlington National Cemetery gateway, hundreds of active-duty women and veterans turned out to celebrate the legacy of more than 2.5 million women who served in the nation's military. The Women in Military Service for America Memorial was dedicated by President Bill Clinton Oct. 18, 1997.
Sandra Briggs announced that letters concerning the scholarship would be sent to area schools the first of the year.
The workshop for prospective members was held Oct. 23 with 11 prospectives in attendance. Chapter members Denese White, Morrison, Valles, Blanc and Mary Webster assisted with the workshop.
Morrison reminded members about dues and the wreath-laying scheduled for noon Dec. 15 at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies. Members are invited to help.
The next meeting will be held at noon Saturday at Scaffidi's. The annual Christmas menagerie sale will be held, and the program will be "Music from the Civil War on the Dulcimer" by Alice Ann Whitehill.

When I purchased my NN3 MKII I commented on this forum that it was a superbly engineered device, but Nick has managed to find room for improvement with the introduction of the Nodal Ninja Anti-Twisting Camera Mounting Plate.
Thanks Nick, mine arrived yesterday and has made using the NN3 MKII even easier!
I did find it tricky lining up the camera so that the lens axis (principal ray) was absolutely parallel to the top rail, but this device makes it simple.
Looking through the topics on the forum there is a lot of discussion about the settings on the top and bottom rails, but even if these settings are absolutely spot on, if the lens axis is not parallel to the top rail there can be parallax introduced, especially if the camera/lens is tilted vertically, but with the CP-2 Camera Mounting Plate this is no longer a concern.
I started out by building my own panohead but when I changed cameras it no longer had the right settings for the new camera so I purchase a friction type panohead, which I soon replaced with an NN3 MKII, which was a huge improvement and is now even better!
Best regards, Hugh.

Precision Max A-Frame - Howe ToWritten by on June 13, 2012 The project DLM Crew tests exactly how rebuildable Howe's precision max A-Frame really is.
For those of you that have followed Project Dirt Late Model over the years know that we have often used the car to test different ideas, setups, and new products our advertisers bring to market. When we test these new products, we like to inform you of how well they perform and if they do what they claim. These tests are being conducted in the real world, on the track and often time during actual races. However, during these events we purposely try not to test the, uh, shall we say durability of these products.
With all of this being said, we recently tested the claims and strength of a quality product. Back in the March '12 issue we told you about a great new design that Howe Racing Products has, the Precision Max A-Frame. In that story, we mentioned that Howe claims bind-free movement under severe braking conditions, and bind-free even if it becomes damaged. We also talked about the fact that they're rebuildable.
Well, a few weeks ago while racing a series race, at our local track we tested these claims--although not intentionally. It was a racing deal, everyone trying to get in the A-main, a car spun in front of us and, with no place to go, we wrecked bad. Once back at the hauler, we saw that the left upper A-frame cross-shaft was badly bent. We knew that Howe claims bind free operation even if it was damaged, but we had bent it so badly that we knew there was no way it would still move and our night was over--or so we thought. When we removed the upper shock bolt to inspect the damage further we were pleasantly surprised to find that the upper A-frame moved totally bind-free just as Howe said it would. Smiles across our faces we quickly mounted the shock back in place and went out to run the B-main.
After the racing was over for that night, we pulled the A-frame off and straightened the cross-shaft for the next night. Turns out that was a mistake. Howe does not recommend doing this because once the aluminum cross-shaft is bent, and you bend it back, it becomes brittle and weak at the bend point. A couple of races later, we took a minor hit to the left front wheel and sure enough the cross-shaft snapped exactly where it had originally bent and where we straightened it. Lesson learned.
So we contacted the guys at Howe and had them send us a new cross-shaft. In the conversation about the wreck, they asked if we bent any of our ball joints. Not being sure, they told us about a great little tool they have to check ball joints, which they sent along with the parts to rebuild the Precision Max A-Frame. Now, check out how easy this is.

1 Project DLM crew member Terry Watson starts by removing the shock from the left front wheel assembly.2 Howe makes this great tool, a Ball Joint Spreader, that makes removing the ball joint and assembly a piece of cake.3 We had previously bent the cross-shaft in an accident while running a series race at East Bay Raceway Park. In an effort to continue racing, we decided to straighten out the bend.4 Howe recommends against doing this because when you straighten the shaft you weaken the aluminum and it becomes subject to breaking, which as you can see here, happened to us—live, learn, and next time we'll listen to the manufacturer.6 With the endcap removed, he'll use a pair of snap-ring (or lock) pliers to remove the snap ring.29 To make this easier on ourselves we marked a line on the cap with a blue sharpie so we could see where 1/8 of a turn would put us.30 Finally, before you put everything back together, install the setscrews into the housing tightening them evenly. If you have a steel adjuster cap apply blue Loctite to setscrews before installing. Use a grease gun to grease and rotate the ball stud by hand until the grease becomes visible on the bottom of the ball. Now, it can be reassembled as you see here and Project DLM is once again ready to race.
7 He can then pull out one of the bearings that will allow him to install the new shaft.8 Installing the new shaft is as simple as sliding it through the bearing-less end and allowing it to seat against the other end.17 Anytime you take a hit like we did you will want to inspect every item on the car and Howe makes these Precision Ball Joint Inspection Gauges that make finding damaged ball joints a snap.18 The sleeves slide right over the shaft of the ball joint. Here's how it should look.
14 Terry tightens down the endcaps with his ratchet before switching to a torque wrench and torquing them down to the manufacturer recommended 30 ft-lb for our aluminum ones. If we had steel cross-shafts the torque spec would be 40 ft-lb.19 If the gauge doesn't slide all the way down then you know that the shaft is bent.20 Clearly we are going to have to repair this ball joint, step one is to take out the zerk fitting. Then we will use a 3/32-inch Allen wrench to remove the set screws from the housing.21 With a 1/2-inch drive ratchet turn the adjuster cap counter clockwise to remove it.

I was wondering if there was any empirical evidence that placing the xbox horizontally/vertically facilitates better dissipation of heat w.r.t the other orientation? What is the best strategy (apart from not using it heavily or using external cooling) to ensure the console does not overheat
The vents on the Xbox 360 are on the sides, when it is sitting horizontally. You'll get the best airflow if you have it sitting horizontally. That being said, the heat is largely generated on the bottom of the machine, when it is horizontal. For best heat dissipation, you'll want to have it sitting horizontally, with it propped up slightly so the bottom can breathe.
Another side effect of standing it vertically is that it has a greater chance of scratching disks. You'll mitigate that by having it sit horizontally.
A system that I use is to leave it horizontal, but raised up on four small feet (anything small that you can place under the four corners will work.)
No side is butted up against a surface this way, and air can cool all sides.
I can't add comments yet so I am going with an answer. I think Michael Herold meant to say It is best to have it sit horizontally with it propped up so the bottom can breath. I also recommend this setup. Also if you have a TV stand with shelves I would recommend not putting it on a shelf as the pocket of the shelf also accumulates heat. Set it on top of the TV stand or on a table/stand beside the TV stand so it is in an open area.
I don't think the orientation is as important as how much it can 'breath'. Make sure that heat can plume up and away and a cold draft be drawn in. Dont put it in a container with just a cable hole in the back. Ideal is an upper opening and a lower opening so that the heat generation can create a natural convection current.

I recently got back into NXT stuff (keep in mind I have a NXT 1.0). My screen was broken,but got that fixed. The software works,but I think the programming doesnt. I made it so If I push a button,the motor moves. I download it,and then all it does is jiggle the motor. I tried making a text block,that didnt work,it just said "Run,Done" in a matter of a split second.
Help me! I really want to program stuff on my computer,and not just a 5 move thing on the NXT it self!

Hydrogen use in automobile is not solution to pollution. It is only shifting location of pollution from vehicle to hydrogen generation unit or power plant if green power is not used.

Hydrogen is the ultimate fuel for the new generation.This development is very encouraging and will play a very important role in this direction.

The development of IC 90 had brought new life lines for expansion of hydrogen as fuel. A great work from Linde
Carlos Simões
It's crazy the use of hydrogen as a road fuel! The cost per kW of hydrogen energy is very expensive! Hydrogen is a very interesting but also very dangerous gas - the explosive limits are between 5 and 95%! The hydrogen infiltrates between the molecules of most steels altering its properties? Best for hydrogen is to use it to make liquid fuels!

This is great. It is the beginning of high reduction of air pollution from transportation. How will other countries get such fueling station is a big challenge.

Neal buys 124 acres in Venice
Published: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 9:34 p.m.
VENICE - Homebuilder Neal Communities of Southwest Florida has bought 124 acres on Border Road here from a Maitland company for $1.6 million.
The price for the property at 2192 Border Road equates to $12,903 per acre.
The seller was Laurel Lakes Venice LLC, records show.
It was the 17th land acquisition for Neal and its related companies in the past two years.
Earlier this month, Neal bought 333 acres in Englewood for $1.64 million. The acquisition by a subsidiary of the Lakewood Ranch-based company from Boca Royale Golf Inc. equates to $4,930 per acre, records show.
Some other purchases included 368 acres off Border Road in Nokomis for $12 million; 269 acres of vacant land at 10525 and 11333 Moccasin Wallow Road for $2.75 million and 106 acres at the Colonial Lakes community in Fort Myers for $3.03 million.
Neal, known mostly for his communities in Manatee County, has shifted much of its focus to south Sarasota County lately. The company is well into the process of creating another South County community, the 1,999-home Grand Palm subdivision at Center Road and River Road, outside the Venice city limits.

While studying maths I encountered the following fraction :
Which I then had to simplify. The answer I came up with is:
$\frac{5ab}{10b} = \frac{ab}{2b}$
But the correct answer seemed to be:
$\frac{5ab}{10b} = \frac{a}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$a
Why is the above answer correct and mine wrong? I can't wrap my head around $b$ just disappearing like that.

GENESEO, N.Y. - The SUNY Geneseo Spectrum Women's Ensemble is joining the Rochester women's choral ensemble Concentus for a "Sing in the Spring" concert April 21 at 3 p.m. in the college's Wadsworth Auditorium. Conducting the concert will be professor of music and Spectrum director Gerard Floriano and Concentus founder and musical director Gwen Gassler. The event is free and open to the public.
The combined voices of the choirs will feature the world premiere of a newly commissioned work by SUNY Geneseo faculty member and composer Glenn McClure titled "Beatrice in Paradise," part of McClure's "Emancipation Again" series celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation." The performance is part of a multi-city presentation of the series that began in January in Alabama and is following the path of the Underground Railroad.
The choirs also will jointly perform Verdi's "Laudi alla Vergine Maria."
The Spectrum Women's Ensemble will perform Hildegard von Bingen's "O frondens virga (O branch coming into leaf); Debussy's "Il pleure dans mon coeur;" "I shall keep singing" by Brian Holmes (Emily Dickinson); Paula Foley Tillen's "A prayer for peace;" "Away from the roll of the Sea," arranged by Stuart Calvert; Robert Schumann's "Ländliches lied;" and Eleanor Daly's "Midsummer (from Seasons of Love).
Concentus will be singing excerpts from Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater;" Maurice Duruflé's "Tota pulchra es;" Z. Randall Stroope's "Lux Aeterna;" David Conte's "Hosanna;" Roger Bourland's "Both Page & Pen;" Cary Ratcliff's "La Luna" from the opera "Mice and Beans;" and Eleanor Daley's "The Lakes Isle of Innisfree."
The Geneseo Spectrum Women's Ensemble is a women's chorus that promotes interest in the ideals of musicianship, inspires professional enthusiasm, and provides opportunity to increase knowledge through the performance of music.
Founded in 2001 by Gassler and co-conductor Edna Huelsenbeck, Concentus is devoted to exploring the wide variety of classical choral music, ranging from medieval chant through contemporary compositions, written specifically for women's voices.

CDC lab results may ID illness
Mystery sickness killed 2, put 5 in hospital in Ala.
Published: Thursday, May 23, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 11:45 p.m.
MONTGOMERY | As state and federal officials continue to investigate a cluster of serious respiratory illnesses in Alabama, one person remained hospitalized Wednesday in critical condition in the southeastern part of the state battling an unknown strain of influenza-like illness complicated by pneumonia.
Two others were in other hospitals in less dire circumstances and two had recovered enough to be released.
Seven seriously sick patients, including two that have died, were admitted to different hospitals complaining of flu-like symptoms and shortness of breath. Pathology tests performed by a state lab show one died of a common strain of influenza and the other suffered from H1N1, a not-uncommon flu in Alabama this past season.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Alabama Department of Public Health are investigating. State health officials are waiting for results of lab tests today that will identify the origins of the illness and provide answers to what is making people so sick and how it is transmitted.
Family members and co-workers have not shown signs of the illness, leaving health officials wondering exactly what the nature of the unknown bug might be.
According to the ADPH's website, few if any cases of flu were reported in May after a particularly active flu season.
An isolated, late breakout of flu is not unheard of, according to Dr. Mary McIntyre, the official spearheading the investigation for the state.
In an effort to see if any unreported cases may be in other parts of the state, McIntyre has contacted health care workers and let them know how to report cases. The patients who were identified as part of the group all have serious symptoms complicated by unknown infiltrate pneumonia.
The ADPH was first notified of the cases a week ago. They continue to search for things in common so they can determine who might be at risk.
Age does not seem to be a factor, as young people and an elderly person have gotten sick.

I'm trying to get Ubuntu 10.10 running on my wife's Samsung NF208 (same spec as NF210, but shipped without OS), and I have run into a pile of problems:
At first, there were problems with audio, display brightness, and WiFi, so I reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch. After reinstalling, the audio has started working but the WiFi loses network access all the time and then it takes 5-10 minutes for it to reconnect to the network.
Also, display brightness is at its lowest. I have tried to use the brightness command but it won't run.
Is this system utterly incompatible with Ubuntu, or are there working WiFi and display drivers for it somewhere? I have googled for days but haven't found anything useful.
Help me.
Update: I never got it working properly. I came across lots of useful tips and tricks over at the forum linked to in the accepted answer but I just wasn't able to get it working and stable enough for the intended use. Hopefully a future version of Ubuntu and/or the samsung tools will solve that. Related thread over at the other forum: http://www.voria.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=682

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- A suicide bomber killed himself and five other people, including a senior police official, in an attack in the center of the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar on Wednesday, a police officer at the scene said.
Three police officials and two civilians were killed in the explosion, said Imran Shahid, the police officer. Thirty-one people were wounded, he added.

Peshawar is the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and the gateway to Pakistan's tribal region, which is largely ungoverned and has a strong militant presence.
For more than a decade, Peshawar has been on the front line for the Pakistani government's fight with militant groups such as the Taliban. A major terrorist attack near the U.S. Consulate in Peshawar in April 2010 killed at least 25 people.
Who are the Pakistani Taliban?
The area where the attack took place Wednesday is known as the Storytellers Market. It is one of the oldest markets in the country and predates the creation of Pakistan in 1947.

I have been recently trying to get more deeply into the workings of a common laser printer.
While the basic concept seems to be fairly simple to understand I have been having trouble finding more information on the physics behind it.
In this case for example the Primary Charge Roller.
I'm aware of what it does but I haven't found any information on the how.
How exactly does it create the negative charge?
Is the simple contact of the roller and the other medium enough to transfer it evenly?
What are the restrictions regarding the target material, could you transfer a charge with the same method to glass, wood, metal?
I hope someone here can help me out with some information or point me into the right direction.

Oglebayfest Under Way
WHEELING – For all those worried about predicted rain showers dampening Oglebayfest this year, John Hargleroad, director of Oglebay Park operations, has assured "there's not that much rain scheduled" for the weekend.
"Everything goes on rain or shine all day long, so don't worry about that," Hargleroad said. "One day we canceled the parade because of rain and I will never do that again. The only serious complaints I got about Oglebayfest, and I've been at this for all 35 years, is the year we elected to cancel the parade because it was raining. The forecast, though it's not quite as nice as we would like, it's fine. It's not going to be a lot of rain."
Oglebayfest kicked off its 35th year Friday with artists and crafters showing their works at the Phil Maxwell Artists' and Gourmet Markets located in the Mansion Woods and free glassblowing on the mansion lawn.
Hargleroad said the artists' market was renamed this year in honor of the generosity of Phil Maxwell who has worked for the Oglebay Institute from 1935 to his retirement in the 1990s and has worked with the Wheeling Park Commission over the years.
Although Oglebayfest maintained most of its traditions over the years, Hargleroad mentioned there are some small changes this year. He said musical entertainment usually held in the Pine Room was relocated to the Haller Shelter where the Marsh Wheeling String Band and Legend Band played for free from 7-11:30 p.m. Also new this year, people who participate in activities sponsored by the Health Plan at the Good Zoo will receive free wristbands that give them access to all park activities today.
Hargleroad said Oglebayfest provides ample shuttle services including school buses and trolleys to provide transportation around the park to make sure guests get around easily.
While festival goers bustled in the artists' market, down the road vendors were busy setting up tents and booths for the 30th Ohio County Country Fair at Site 1. The fair, which runs through 5 p.m. Sunday, offers displays of flowers, baked goods, homegrown fruits and vegetables, exhibits from 4-H clubs. Children are likely to enjoy the many farm animals at the fair including cows, horses, sheep and pigs.
David McCardle of the Northern Panhandle Stockman's Association said he has brought his livestock to the country fair every year for about 30 years.
"We have dairy cows, beef cattle, several calfs and some pigs. My grandson takes care of them," McCardle said. "Years ago, people brought a lot more big animals, but everyone got older and retired, but the grandkids are interested in the farm and the animals and that keeps us involved."
"There's always new things going on down at the Country Fair," Hargleroad said. "A lot more the same than different, but there's always some new booths, educational exhibits that's always ever changing,"
Events today include the traditional parade from the Good Zoo at 9:30 a.m., free admission to the Good Zoo and the Mansion Museum with a wristband all day, and pony rides and inflatables at the Schenk Lake area at noon. The much beloved fireworks at Schenk Lake will be at 8 p.m. with the band Smoke Daddy & the Crawfish capping off the evening at Haller Shelter at 8:30 p.m.

In a comment to an answer to a MO question, in which Bill Dubuque mentioned Jacobson's theorem stating that a ring in which $X^n=X$ is an identity is commutative (theorem which has shown up on MO quite a bit recently, e.g. here), Pierre-Yves Gaillard observed that there is a more general theorem in which $n$ is allowed to be different for each element of the ring, so that in fact we can rephrase the theorem as saying that the set $S=\{X^n-X:n>1\}\subset\mathbb Z[X]$ has the following property:
If $A$ is a ring such that for every $a\in A$ there is an $f\in S$ such that $f(a)=0$, then $A$ is commutative.
Of course, $S\cup (-S)$ also has this property, and even if we construct $S'$ from $S\cup(-S)$ by closing it under the operation of taking divisors in $\mathbb Z[X]$, it also has the same property. Pierre-Yves then asked:
Is $S'$ maximal for this property?
So, is it?

dataview drag items bug in chrome add-on for IE
I have a dataview where I load some images. In IE it works fine. However, in chrome add-on for IE I can only drag the images that are visible on the screen. All the other images that I just can see if I scroll, will not be able to drag... This is so strange that if I can see only a part of an image, I would only be able to drag the image dragging over that part of the image. In the rest of the image drag will not work.
Any workaround for this?
thank you
7 Sep 2012 10:21 AM #2
the problem is related to the div height
I realized that the problem is related with the height of the dataview div. Inside this div, there are one div for each image. the problem is that, the height of the parent div doesnt have in consideration the scrollable area. In IE there is no problem.
How this height is calculated?

>>Check out the photos from the semifinal between UC Irvine and Loyola
>>Check out the photos from the semifinal between BYU and Penn State
LOS ANGELES -- BYU's Ben Patch gave it everything he had, diving headlong past the baseline for a volleyball that wasn't coming back. And when the ball that was blocked back at the net by Scott Kevorken finally hit the floor so far away from the court, the NCAA Men's Volleyball Championship match was over and UC Irvine was No. 1.
UCI's national-championship win over Brigham Young on Saturday night might be the closest thing to a dynasty that men's college volleyball has seen in a long time.
After all, the Anteaters' 25-23, 25-22, 26-24 victory was their school's fourth in seven years and it gave them back-to-back titles, the first time it's been done since UCLA won it all in 1995 and '96.
But it was so much more than that.
This season was destined to be something different a month after last year's championship victory over USC when longtime head coach John Speraw left for his alma mater, UCLA. So UCI tabbed a former assistant, David Kniffin, who had left to coach the women for a season at Illinois.
And then there was this season, when BYU beat UCI in both their meetings in Mountain Pacific Sports Federation play. Even Saturday night on UCLA's court inside Pauley Pavilion, the Cougars led 11-4 in the second set and 24-21 in the third, a lead that seemed to mean surely there would be a fourth set.
Down 21-19, Kniffin used his first time out. He never bothered with the second, although the deficit got worse.
BYU star Taylor Sander, who led everyone with 20 kills, came flying out of the back row for a vicious kill that not only sent him to the front row, but had everyone preparing for a fourth set. After all, the last time these teams had played, BYU, down 0-2 and trailing 19-14 in the third, came back to win in five.
The Anteaters pulled to 24-22 on a kill by Kevorken. Then Sander came flying in from the left side but hit the ball out past the far sideline. BYU coach Chris McGown called time.
It didn't help. A triple block by Kevorken, setter Chris Austin, and outside hitter Kevin Tillie saw Russ Lavaja's swing go to the floor. It was tied at 24.
BYU went back to Sander again, and he was stuffed by Kevorken and Austin, who stared at Sander as the Anteaters went to a timeout huddle.
Sander, considered by many the nation's best player, got the call again. This time Zack La Cavera and Kevorken, who had a solo block and six of his 11 block assists in the third set, were up to the task again.
The celebration began.
"I was telling myself on the bus on the ride over here that I wanted this really bad," said Kevorken, a 6'9" product of Westlake Village, Calif., who had seven kills and hit .600. "And I knew that we were going to be on a big stage and once again with the tournament being held in southern California the fans from Irvine could come. When you've got fans out there I want to play big. And that's a team I really wanted to go get and I studied that game plan really late last night."
He smiled.
"I had to make sure I had a nap today to be on top of my game. I don't think I was conscious of what I was doing at the time, every time I did something I was just like, 'Get us one point closer.' It was a great one."
The middles for UCI dominated the net. Collin Mehring, a 6'7" junior from San Jose who came into prominence after the Anteaters' trip last September to Argentina, had seven kills and two of UCI's 30 block assists. UCI totaled 17 blocks on the match; BYU just six.
The two outsides, big-game guy Connor Hughes and Frenchmen Kevin Tillie, had 11 kills each and so did right side Zack La Cavera, who barely played last year but this season replaced the team's go-to guy, Carson Clark.
"We really are a hard team to game plan against," Kniffin said.
"Winning this is so great for me," La Cavera said, close to getting choked up. "It was good for us, but I definitely struggled this year trying to find my place on the team. I knew I could be a starter and have a huge impact. So this was really great."
Hughes, who had nine kills and hit .635 in UCI's Thursday-night win over Loyola, went 11-for-32 against BYU, taking the most swings of anyone in the match except for Sander.
Sander did not get much help, especially not from super-freshman Patch. Patch, who was very effective against UCI in both previous matches this season, had just seven kills, his last at 12-9 in the second game. Lavaja and Josue Rivera had eight kills each for BYU.
"As you can imagine we're understandably disappointed with the result, but UCI played inspired volleyball and were as good as anybody we've played this season in serve and serve receive," second-year BYU coach Chris McGown said. "They kept us out of system all match, we had to take tough swings on the pins and never could get in an offensive rhythm."
Before the game, as BYU was entering the building, former BYU head coach Carl McGown, Chris's father and a volunteer coach, saw Speraw.
"We need you to come play middle for us," the elder McGown joked.
If he only knew. Speraw, by the way, watched his former team from the baseline. He saw his former setter, Chris Austin, run a masterful game and play tremendous defense, too. The senior from Las Vegas had 43 assists, four of UCI's 21 digs, a solo block, and five block assists.
"The thing that was so exceptional about Chris was that he had made all those [offensive] decisions before the match even started," Kniffin said. "Obviously we worked on it collectively, but we had an idea of how we wanted to pick this team apart and he stayed true to it."
A big beneficiary was Hughes, who came up so big that he named the tournament's most outstanding player.
"I am just so excited," said Hughes, a junior from Costa Mesa, who had another big match a year ago in the title tilt. "It's the types of moments that I've had my whole career.
"You really just have to live in the moment and I took that to heart. Live in the moment in these championship settings and I love it."
Kniffin, he of the sport shirt and rolled-up sleeves, seemed to be taking it all in stride.
"The journey," Kniffin said. "I know that sounds cliché, but I can't say it enough. The journey has been exceptional. No question this is icing on the cake."

Alleged victim takes the stand
March 16, 2013
STEUBENVILLE -- At 3:46 p.m. today, the 28th witness took the stand as testimony continued in the juvenile rape trial being held in the Jefferson County Justice Cente....
I wonder who will be at the candlelight vigil. The wonderful people of Steubenville? No, the "outsiders" they blame for bringing attention to their sick, twisted way of life.
That pit of a town and the pathetic excuse for a school and a coach who is the definition of filth need to hang their heads in shame.
Maybe one or two of the creeps in that town will go to the vigil, but I would bet it is mostly made up of "outsiders." You know, civilized humans.

Even with my love for an underdog, I'd struggle to justify having a bet at 1000-1
Even with my love for an underdog, I'd struggle to justify having a bet at 1000-1
Your loss - just you wait and see
Just beat my bogey team (only the 2nd time in 17 attempts) on a goal that was miles offside.
Had a crash dump a day after a 5-1 away win in which my top forward bagged 4 goals. No autosave of it, and naturally replaying it ended up 0-0.
Crap. Once again my only goal-bagging striker got injured. This time with a broken hand for 6 weeks
This forum lacks threads about peoples career's with bigger teams. I think it's because people think that they should only post if they're a small team trying to make it big.
1. People post their adventure of the small club to big club challenges here
2. LLM'ers who want to show their progress here
3. LLM rejects who make Careers Forum their home
4. Career game threads, which never start at a big club, and work their way up to success
5. FMS people to want to show their progress with screenshots and the like
FMS, LLM, and the CSE forum use this forum the most, and very few play with a big club in these forums. I haven't started with a 'big' club since FM08.
One idea is because people who tend to play with big teams tend to play shorter term games. Threads that are not updated regularly will slide down the forum which is why a lot of the longer careers will stay towards the top of the forum.
Another reason is that the sorts of people who want to put effort into documenting their games are also the sorts of people who like to start at the bottom and work their way up.
Hardly very interesting to read about people buying the usual suspects and winning everything with United, Chelsea, Barca or Real Madrid either. Which is why some of us play LLM of course (the proper one and the "starting far down" type).
Wouldn't be very interesting to start a chess game when all you had to do was move the queen a few squares and then shake hands.
The puns need to stop lads, their just too bad
Starting with a 'big' team generally gets boring after a few seasons.
However, it could be different if you play in a certain way - setting yourself rules.
Aye. Only play when drunk. Very drunk. Always fun!
Always play as Lyon, never gets boring, although I sometimes set rules like only buying french players and selling every foreign player in the first two seasons ...
Downloaded tens of African nations from the Editors Forum and started a game in this unknown of a continent. Not chosen to use all the nations but have selected around 25 nations to run including England aswell. Really looking forward to playing this as like I said its pretty much an unknown in FM, will keep my more interested than my current save where i've gone from GVVV to Panathinaikos at an early stage.
Not sure whether to create a new thread for this save or not as I feel I've created a few too many since FM10 came out and not generating the interest from other forums member as much as I used to.
that's a potentially great career ToMexico, I'd be a keen reader if you started that one up
I don't think I'll be able to start my own thread as even with very few leagues loaded the game runs pretty slow on my computer, so unless I have a thread which I can update every few matches or something I'll just use things like the anecdotes thread. I think I'm going to have one of those really chaotic seasons where you win a few, draw, lose a few, draw etc. with Cray.
Needed somewhere to post this:
FM09 my ninth season 2017/2018, finally in the prem following LLM rules for the first time through the following route:
Gateshead (July 2008 - October 2010) - Won BSN, came 3rd in BSP, got knocked out of playoffs in semis, hopped it to Bristol Rovers in League 1 when the offer came along
Bristol Rovers (October 2010 - October 2011) - I was a time stopper. Took them at 16th in the league, changed everything, finished 9th, got sacked exactly 1 season later at 16th.
Eastleigh (November 2011 - March 2014) - Back down to BS, but this time BSS! Came 9th, then came 1st and won FA trophy, was doing well in with eastleigh but had very little to came along. When Bradford came in league 1 relegation spot and decent funds I was there quicker than fat Ronaldo when he was just Ronaldo.
Bradford City (March 2014 - Present) - Here is where I found true love. 25000 people to come see me play, a chairman who I usually get on with and.....players that can be sold! I changed captain, dropped a load of old farts and brought them from 22nd to 17th. Next season I rebuilt, got some quality freebies and booted everyone else. Fiished 3rd after a late surge, scraped through the playoff final with an 89th minutes header from my star centre back. Next signed a few more, invested in a bit of youth and tried a new tactic. The result: 9th which was 13 places higher than our expected position. Next season was ****, got 3 good players poached and a load of others whined, finished 11th as expected. That brings us to the season I just spent 6 hours finishing......this season. Started off with 5 draws. Then won 7. Lost a few stupid ones, then was hugely inconsistent until the last 10 games, when I was hugely lucky. Except for the last 3, in which all the teams around me were ****, and I almost won the title from nowhere, but lost it against Preston. **** it, premiership here I come.
Not sure if anyone's gonna read this, but I hope to come back and elaborate on this some time, possibly even turn it into a thread. So 9 years of luck and brilliant scouts is what it takes to get to the premiership. I wonder how long it takes to win it? Well Newcastle, City and Loverpool all have managers over 60, so a retirement and a sneaky application from me could shorten that period considerably.

I've updated the forum rules a little bit. If there's anything else that people think needs adding or changing, give us your ideas.
Good stuff.
Anyone got any smart snappy titles for my thread?
depends what are you doing in your game?
Traveling around but i'd like a play on words on a quote.
Wsa thinking of Einsteins E=MC 2
To Change it to E = FM 2
Something like that
And the teams played on? bit of an obscure twist on song title by a band called saxon
That doesnt sound half bad.
Popcorn time?
Of course a joke daf.
Wanted to get a reaction from you. Was just bored.
purefun indeed...
Ooh being smart eh.
Purefun is getting bored because daf and Neji keep closing the threads here/changing thread titles in the Mod Requests thread, leaving Purefun with nothing to do.
I'm always late.
Question: Is it acceptable to have two career threads running in here? The rules are kind of fuzzy over this. I'm interpreting it as - if I keep both active then its ok.
As 10.2 is here I feel a big worldwide career approaching.
Merci merci
Would I be able to have a thread I update every few matches? I don't have a particularly fast computer so...
I'll update it when I can be asked to, with a vague description of the matches. I started the game a few months ago and have been playing more the last few weeks, up to my FAC2Q game with Workington now, which due to me saying that think I can win the game I've been told that I'm delusional. Now that's hardly fair, we're in Ryman Prem and they're BSN. Bring it on!
I know you wernt having a go.
Honestly however.
10-3, Terk or someone similar who knows what should or shouldnt be a story, do you think i should prehaps move to FMS next career?
Not having a go at anybody (didn't even know people were making "story-like" updates), but I figured the idea of this forum was to be different from FMS, which means updates and not stories. The mods will know where to draw the border.
Personally I find it much more interesting to read season-updates, as you get a feeling for the save, and you don't have trawl through lots of posts to get to the heart of the info. I'm a slow player too (4th season, think I'm up to 8 days or something ) so going through the seasons takes time. But I quite like writing the updates every season. I don't know if others like them, but I've liked reading through my own down the line, to remember how playing that save was like.
I'm only going to write short updates, not going into too much detail, every few matches or so. At the end of each season I'll also do a quick summary for those who don't want to read the rest of the updates. That OK?
Then prehaps FMS shall have a new writer. Next Career though
I quite like the different styles that people use as it gives a bit of variation to the format and forum. I wouldn't want to read threads that are indentical to each other. I personally prefer to do my updates at the end of the season and while I wouldn't want to do match by match updates, I think, as I said, it adds a bit of variation.
I'm pleased at how this forum has picked up since it was created and think it's been a great addition to the SI boards. I now find myslef here more than any other SI forum .
I know some of you who are reading my thread would have seen this but this match is worth having a look at:
FA Cup semi final
Probably the craziest match I've ever been involved in.
Tooting to get a fine now then.
Is this better?
I've recently got a new laptop with a different screen size and resolution, it is taking a bit of getting used to.
Thanks. That was much better. The normal screenies are so small and wide it's hard to see what's in them.
Quite a bit of action towards the end. Lucky for them to miss the pen too. Probably the only one missed in a game that year
Saxonaitor, your style would be welcome in FMS (though as dafuge said, minus the pictures - we're mean and only allow links to pictures rather than posting them as images in the thread).
There are some in here who sit on the border between Career Updates and FMS, but unless something was overtly one or the other (or if the author particularly wanted it) then I wouldn't be quick to move threads between the two. As Raware said, the difference of styles in here is good for the forum.
LLM rejects I need help,
If i'm managing LLM rules how can I go about finding a loan player within the rules??
You can ask your assistant manager to recommend available loan players for a specific position, that could be the best way to do it.
How do you do that?
EDIT: Found it!

Anyone wanna reccomend the leagues I should load. Looking to learn as many languages as possible ( obviously i will be dabbling in international management ) and want to win all the different continental competitions.
4gb ram.
Egypt its suprisingly fun as is the Ukraine
It's time peoples of the the careers forum.
I'm packing my bags to move to FMS. I know you'll miss my last 3 failed attempts at a career save
A Merry Christmas to you all!
gl, Saxon.
Shame Saxon, good luck
Merry Xmas to everyone here
Thanks iacovone and JTY
If you want to catch up with my works it's just been posted up
Unlucky with the 3 failed attempts at a decent career save Saxon Have fun in FMS
Tough to see you leave Sax, good luck in FMS.
Don't forget to come back to visit every now and then.
And Merry Christmas everyone from Canada.
Need a little help here: I can't think of a title for my career game. I started unemployed with Sunday League Footballer experience so if anyone has any ideas, fire away!
I thought about 'From Loser to Legend' but it doesn't seem to be that catchy, plus I'm not a loser.
What leagues have you loaded? What are your aims?
- Leagues Loaded: Belgium, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Holland, Turkey and Argentina.
A lower league game attempting to reach the top in any way possible.
Yes, Finland.
Nah, I plan to skip round leagues and teams.
'One Way Or Another, I'm Gonna Get Ya.'
From Legend to Loser.
My one not good enough for you?
The font has changed!
Anyone updated to the latest patch? 10.0.2 or something like that. I was wondering how it is?
On the GD forum there seems to be lots of major isssues with it. Such as crazy transfers, Fatigue problems and dare i say it? superkeepers! But then again sometimes they get a bit carried away in GD.
I thought i'd ask here as i feel there is more chance of getting a sensible answer.
I've been quite happy with it.
My players do get quite tired during a match, but only to the point where a couple of subs are needed. The superkeepers issues seems to be only affecting people who use certain tactics which concentrate on creating 1on1s, personally I try to create a variety of chances and my shots to goal ratio seems quite reasonable.
The GD patrons wouldn't be happy unless they had a drama with something being 'broke', 'unplayable', or the AI cheating and ruining their lives.I thought i'd ask here as i feel there is more chance of getting a sensible answer.
Update to 10.2 and play away mate.
Thanks for the replys.
I didn't think it could be as bad as suggested in GD forum.
I dont like my title. Suggestions ?
I love it TheMister
Dunno, I dont hate it but I dont think it quite fits.
I HATE my current one, so regretting it
'Tales of a multilingual legend'
Got to get something about your languages in the title I reckon
How about 'A History of the Word' or 'Travelling around the word'?
how do you put titles in your links instead of the whole link if you know what i mean lol
[url^=*LINK*]Title Here[/^url]
no ^ in the [/url] parts
[url=your link] Title here [/url] would look like this title here
This is in the rules thread, makes it nice and easy.How to Add Links
At the top of the forum, go to 'quick links' then 'edit options'. At the bottom, select 'enhanced interface' and save the changes. This will give you access to the extra posting tools that make it easier to post links. Once you've done this, highlight the word you wish to turn into a link, then use the link button (looks like a little globe) to paste in the direct Url to your screenshot.
If you write it out in note pad+ like I do, then transfer it to the forum in enhanced interface mode, it turns it into a complete mess. lol. That's why I use the standard mode. (In the past, I have spent an hour writing my report in the forum interface only for my Internet to disconnect and lose all the work. That's why I write it in note pad first)
If we do an awards anytime in the future and their is an award for worst player then I demand that it be called the "The MeLikeFM Award"
Anything else is a travesty tbh.
Sounds fair to me

Second Amendment: Is it racist?
To the surprise of the radical left, its efforts to politically exploit the Dec. 14 Newtown tragedy and advance virtual gun confiscation have faltered. Congress and many state legislatures will not have it, and hundreds of sheriffs have said they will not enforce it. In an attempt to turn the debate in their favor, the left is turning to a false mantra: the Second Amendment is racist.
To support their claim, radicals lean on a 1998 article by Professor Carl T. Bogus of Roger Williams University School of Law. Rather than going straight to the Second Amendment, Professor Bogus circles back to the main body of the Constitution. The article for the University of California at Davis Law Review, "The Hidden History of the Second Amendment," focuses on Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, which reads: "Congress shall have Power ... to provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections, and repel Invasions." Professor Bogus asserts that "Insurrections" referred specifically to slave riots, and that the Second Amendment was specially crafted later to guarantee their suppression.

Worried that blacks would become armed and a danger to the white ex-slave-owners "gun control" laws were made that required a permit to purchase a firearm. Needless to say they wouldn't give blacks permits. "

http://www.mobilewebsitedesign.me/ 69% of small business owner surveyed said that they wanted mobile version of their website, which means your competition is aiming to get a mobile version of their website for mobile.
If you have a mobile website, it leaves you street in front of your competitors. If you don't have a mobile website, your competitors will leave to you standing.
If you're still in doubt about mobile websites, let me inform you of the criticality of having a mobile optimized website and the number one myth you should dispel.
Truth is, there are seven myths and you can read them all in the free group http://www.MobileWebsiteDesign.me
Myth 1 – "There's no need to stress about mobile internet yet"
You may be surprised to hear that out of the 3.9 billion phones used globally, only 505 million of those are Smartphones and iPhones, which is very much surprising considering its popularity. Meaning, Smartphones are just 13% of all phones in use worldwide.
