June 2016
League: Tord 2-1 Lund
It was a pretty rubbish game until the last half an hour of the 2nd half. Firstly Johan Bystrom (YP2) put us in front in the 64th min but celebrations were cut short when Lund quickly equalised. We got the win we deserved with a bit of fortune, Robin Johannesson (YP15)'s shot rebounded off the post and hit the back of the keeper and went in.
League: Tord 3-0 Angleholm
Robin Johannesson (YP15) got the winner last match although it wasn't credited to him, this time it was as he opened the scoring to give us a 1-0 lead at half time. In the 2nd half we scored twice more, first Robin Johannesson (YP15) set up Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) to smash home into the top corner. Then just a few mins later Fredrik Bjork (YP12) tapped in a 3rd to round off an impressive performance.
League: Hogaborg 2-2 Tord
Twice we took the lead and twice we failed to hang onto it. Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) scored both our goals, the first in the 3rd min when he controlled a cross nicely before slotting past the keeper. Then in the 33rd min he made it 2-1 by turning on the edge of the box and rifling the ball into the top corner. Unfortunately we couldn't hold on for the win that we deserved.
League: Tord 2-0 Varnamo
Making the most of our home games now as we pick up another 3 points. Miodrag Damjanovic (YP3) gave us the lead a few mins before half time after getting a few lucky deflections in the box. Then Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) sealed the win late on after a misplaced backpass found him and he raced through and powered a shot home.
League: Oster 0-2 Tord
Probably the best game of my career as we destroy the league leaders away from home . It was Fredrik Karlsson (YP8), continuing his fine form, who did the damage by netting twice in the 1st half. In the 3rd min he got between 2 defenders to head home a cross. Then in injury time another keeper mistake allowed him to score his 2nd.
2 weeks and you're in 2016? wow :O I'm currently in 2011
:O You're second! Brilliant form, let's hope you can keep it up! That win against Oster is particularly amazing given your usual away record!
To be fair the season's are really short in Sweden, the leagues are between 12 and 16 teams. I have played 167 games in this save which is roughly 3/3.5 English seasons. SnakeXe is in 2020 and he's playing in Italy :O
July 2016
League: Tord 2-0 Hassleholm
We continue our good form with a routine win over lowly Hassleholm. We struck twice in quick succession midway through the 2nd half, Johan Bystrom (YP2) and Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) getting a goal each.
League: Rosengard 2-0 Tord
Well it had to end sometime . We went on a magnificent run of 11 games unbeaten which consisted of 7 wins and 4 draws with 19 goals scored and 6 conceded. They were the slightly better team but if we had taken our chances the unbeaten run could have quite easily continued.
Shame about the run ending, but this is still turning out to be a great season. Keep it up!
August 2016
League: Tord 1-0 Qviding
We didn't really deserve to win but oh well. Our goal came from super sub Christoffer Zekria (YP17) 2 mins before full time. Not a bad time to get your 1st goal for the club.
League: Kristianstad 0-2 Tord
A comfortable win against possibly one of the worst teams ever to grace this division (by the end of this month they have not won in 20 league games). Although to be fair we only just scraped the win despite dominating the whole match. We stepped our play up a gear when they got a man sent off in the 70th min, this man advantage allowed Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) to score twice in 3 mins to get us the 3 points. Both goals being almost carbon copies of each other, Calle Ewald (YP11) crossing to the far post where Karlsson (YP8) headed home.
League: Tord 1-1 Torslanda
Disappointing as we have lost ground to everyone else and have dropped to 4th. We had an awful 1st half where we conceded early on but our 2nd half performance was brilliant except that we only scored once. Again Calle Ewald (YP11) provided the assist with a perfectly weighted cross which Christoffer Zekria (YP17) was on hand to tap home.
League: Vastra Frolunda 1-0 Tord
Continue to lose ground on our rivals as the midseason dreams/hopes of a chance at promotion start to fade. We were completely outplayed and deserved to lose 4 or 5-0.
League: Tord 2-0 Jonkopings Sodra
A good way to end the month with a decent win over your fierce rivals. Especially with over 2000 people attending (our average attendances are around the 300 mark normally), hopefully this will increase our attendances in the near future. Johan Bystrom (YP2), who has been having a torrid time recently, bagged both goals to remake him a favourite with the fans. His 1st came 43 seconds in, the opposition hadn't even had a touch of the ball. His 2nd, just before half time, shattered the fragile confidence of the Jonkoping Sodra players. The supposed promotion contenders now find themselves deep in the relegation zone.
Don't despair! With only 3 losses, if you can simply manage to avoid draws going home, you'll be positioned for a possible move up! Who are your remaining games against?
Wow. This is promising. Crossing fingers for your last fixtures!
Also like that you give numbers to your youth players in brackets. A good way to keep up with who is who.
let us gogogogogo (does somebody know where has this originated from?)!
promotion one time
Yer I stole the idea from Nep's Youth Player thread in CSE. I normally use it to see which of my players came through the youth system but since all my players are from my youth system in this save the numbers and brackets are there only to keep track of who is who. Also makes it easier to find them on player search if I start to let some go in a few years, makes it easier to catch up with them.
Good luck in the run-in! Anything can happen
September 2016
League: Lund 0-2 Tord
Again it was 2 1st half goals from Johan Bystrom (YP2) which gave us the 3 points including a goal after just 19 seconds making it the fastest Tord goal ever.
League: Tord 2-1 Husqvarna
A big big win, 2nd vs 3rd and we have actually managed to come away the result. Them being our fierce rivals makes victory even sweeter. Anders Svensson (YP16), who has played amazing all season, got his 2nd of the season to give us a 1st half lead. But in the 2nd half Husqvarna levelled against the run of play. Luckily we had a striker in form to snatch us the win in the dying seconds, Johan Bystrom (YP2) scored his standard goal of beating the offside trap and slotting past the keeper.
League: Angelholm 2-1 Tord
A shock loss even though we are playing away. Made even worse by the fact that Johan Bystrom (YP2) got injured and will be out for the next game as well. Despite managing a solitary shot on target the whole game Angelholm scored twice, once from the spot and a 2nd was an own goal. Fredrik Bjork (YP12) gave us hope with a goal in the 61st min but we couldn't grab the equaliser.
League: Tord 0-0 Hogaborg
Generally an awful match although we did have the one good chance to win it. Unfortunately we didn't take that opportunity and we slip down to 3rd on goal difference.
Don't despair. You needed to win out to get promotion, as it turns out. Even had you won five straight, including the upcoming game against Öster, you'd still be level with them on points and quite possibly still behind in goal differential. I think its a massive result to finish 2nd or 3rd, given you were 9th twice, and given that you were only 6th or 7th as I recall about a third of the season in.
October 2016
League: Tord 3-0 Oster
Well they certainly did go easy on me as we played them off the park. Johan Bystrom (YP2) just back from injury got our opener in the 10th min. This was doubled a quarter of an hour later by Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) who scored from a tight angle from Isaac Blixt's freekick. The game was wrapped up in the 2nd half when another Blixt freekick was parried by the keeper right into Anders Svensson (YP16)'s path. He made no mistake to score his 3rd of the season.
League: Varnamo 0-4 Tord
Got a huge amount of luck just when we needed it most . 4 shots in the 1st half, 4 on target, 4 goals. Clinical. Not only was it 4-0 in the 1st half but it was 4-0 after just 23 mins, an incredible performance. Isaac Blixt got us up and running with a 25 yard effort which went straight down the keeper's throat yet somehow ended up in the net. Just 3 mins later in the 11th min it was Blixt's freekick which gave Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) an easy tap in to make it 2-0. Just 4 mins after that Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) had a 2nd, a perfect counter attack set off Karlsson (YP8) into half a pitch of room where he took the ball forward and smashed it past the keeper. Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) completed his hat trick in the 23rd min when he slid home from Miodrag Damjanovic (YP3)'s cross.
But is it enough to get into the promotion playoff . . . . . .
Excellent work Hrbfcrule. Ahead of schedule as well. Good luck in the play-off.
Well played in the run-in, your defence really is watertight, always helps! What happens in the promotion playoff? Do you play a team from the league above which finished in the relegation playoff position, I presume? Well played though!
Awesome last 2 games! It has to be enough for the playoff, surely...?
Have played the promotion playoff games and I have to say it has been the craziest playoff I have ever been a part of. Just to give you some idea there were 14 goals, 2 red cards and 1 missed penalty over the 2 games.
Can't wait for the update!
Promotion Playoff
1st Leg: Falkenberg 6-4 Tord
We continued our fantastic league form into this game as we dominated the game. We were also helped by a fantastic start to the match goal-wise. Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) gave us the lead in the 5th min but it didn't come easy, his initial shot was saved by the keeper before Blixt smashed the rebound off the post and only then did Karlsson (YP8) find then net. In the 19th min Blixt made it 2-0 after Karlsson (YP8) pulled it back to him on the edge of the box. Just a few mins later and we were in dreamland, from their restart we retook possesion and Johan Bystrom (YP2) played a neat 1 2 with Miodrag Damjanovic (YP3) before slotting home the return ball. It looked like we were cruising for promotion but from then on our luck changed. There was nothing wrong with their 1st goal but their 2nd,which got them right back into the game, was an apparent handball. Still we were 3-2 up at half time and looking in good shape.
Things got even worse after the break though as our luck continued to worsen, their shot from just inside the area cannoned off their own player wrongfooting our keeper. Just 4 mins later a 30 yard screamer into the top corner put us behind for the 1st time in the game. They then completed the mother of all comebacks with a 40 yard lob which arose from our keeper's mistake. Going from 3-0 up to 5-3 down is gutting especially when we have had 6 clear cut chances to their 2. The game wasn't done yet for goals though, Fredrik Bjork (YP12) gave us hope going to the 2nd leg with his deflected shot counting as an own goal to make it 5-4. But a lapse in concentration allowed Falkenberg to restore their 2 goal advantage and give us a real mountain to climb in the 2nd leg. As if things couldn't get any worse Johan Bystrom (YP2) got himself injured in injury time and will miss the 2nd leg. I wasn't exactly optimistic going into the 2nd leg although I think it's safe to say if we do win by a 2 goal margin we will have the away goal rule on our side.
2nd Leg: Tord a(7) 3-1 (7) Falkenberg
We were absolutely shocking in the 1st half, not managing a single shot but we were still in with a chance of promotion after Falkenberg missed a penalty in the 10th min. Our 1st shot of the game turned out to be a goal Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) earned and then finished a penalty 5 mins into the 2nd half which really kicked us into life. We only needed 1 more goal to see us get promoted. Johan Heinonen provided us with that goal after he curled a shot into the top corner from the edge of the box. The ecstasy didn't last long though as Falkenberg made it 2-1 with just 25 mins left to play. Then with 17 mins left to play, Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) crossed for Martin Andersson (YP19) who took a touch before slotting under the keeper. Still the action didn't end there though, Isaac Blixt thought he'd make the game even more interesting when he scythed down a Falkenberg player with a 2 footed challenge. Thankfully it didn't cost us and Falkenberg were even kind enough to repay the gesture when they got a man sent off for his 2nd bookable offence. We managed to hold on for the last few mins to claim a historic victory which sees us get promoted to the First Division Elite. To be honest I forgot to check before the match if away goals counted in normal time or if it was only after extra time so I was still bricking it at the full time whistle.
That has to be the most epic playoff ever!
Congrats on winning it.
That's incredible! Amazing playoff, fantastic promotion
Epic! Congrats with the promotion. Looking forward to see how you will do in the first division. Really amazing that you managed this. Well done, sir!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah! Promotion! Great job!
SHIP EM! keep up the frequent updates, this is one of few threads that I regularly follow!
Thanks for all the comments guys
End of season update to come
End of Season Report: IK Tord Swedish First Division South , 2016
League Table, League Graph
A slow start but boy did things pick up. We spent the 2nd half of the season fighting for 2nd place which was helped a lot by our 11 match unbeaten run. In the end it came down to the last day where, thanks to a 4-0 away win we snuck into the promotion playoff ahead of Rosengard.
The playoff was eventful to say the least, probably one of the best experiences of my football manager career. The amount of times the game twisted and turned was incredible although I bet I wouldn't be saying this if I had lost especially after being 3-0 up away.
1st leg
2nd leg
So we went through on away goals after a 7-7 aggregate, i'm still shocked by the result, it's just incredible. I am dreading life in the Swedish Elite Division but even if we get relegated I am sure we will make a decent amount of money from it.
Swedish Cup
Uneventful really. Beat Motala AIF 3-1 away then lost to lower league oppostion in the 1st Round proper.
Youth Players
Anton Alvefelt (YP1) - Another average season, I would say he is the weak link in an otherwise very strong 1st choice defence. Left back position is definately up for grabs.
Johan Bystrom (YP2) - A decent season, just under a goal every 2 games is pretty good but I know he is capable of better. Has now played in the most league games for a Tord player with his last game of the season overtaking Jonas Svahn on 139.
Miodrag Damjanovic (YP3) - Not too many goals from him but his runs down the left have proved invaluable, providing plenty of assists.
Thomas Jonsson (YP4) - Will be the 1st of the youth players to leave the club, didn't play a single game this season as there are far better strikers coming through the ranks.
Tony Thoren (YP5) - One half of the quality centre back partnership which saw us concede the least goals in the league (just 17 in 26 games). Started off poorly but picked himself up well and was regularly getting above 7s in average rating.
Filip Linder (YP6) - Still 1st choice keeper, conceded 17 in 22 appearances with 10 clean sheets. Gave him a rest towards the end of the season to keep my 2nd choice happy.
Niklas Andersson (YP7) - Played towards the end of the season and had to even step in for the playoff games due to injury to Filip Linder (YP6). Had done well up until conceding 7 in 2 games.
Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) - Beat Johan Bystrom (YP2) to Tord's golden boot with 16 goals in 29 appearances, also came joint top scorer of the First Division South with 14 goals.
Christer Lindahl (YP9) - Being kept out of the 1st team by a solid centre back partnership but is 1st choice if either of them get injured.
Fredrik Lundgren (YP10) - Didn't play much, looks like he won't become anything more than a squad player, already a few people ahead of him in the pecking order and likely to be a few more as years go by.
Calle Ewald (YP11) - Anton Alvefelt (YP1)'s main contender for the left back spot. He was average for most of the season but had a couple of good games where his crosses were inch perfect.
Fredrik Bjork (YP12) - Being kept out of the 1st team by the likes of Bystrom (YP2) and Karlsson (YP8). Couldn't really get going off the bench but didn't play too badly when he started.
Stefan Nilsson (YP13) - 1st choice right back now, also he has sorted out his discipline. Only 5 yellows this season and no reds.
Paul Johansson (YP14) - Continuing to improve and even got his 1st goal for the club.
Robin Johannesson (YP15) - Again was back up to Paul Johansson (YP14), his performances don't warrant a 1st team place just yet.
Anders Svensson (YP16) - The shock of the season, partnered Tony Thoren (YP5) in central defence and he was incredible. Not only did he defend well but he also scored 3 goals making him joint 3rd top scorer.
Christoffer Zekria (YP17) - Gave him a few chances throughout the season, was a bit hit and miss. Just needs to work on consistency
Lars Lundgren (YP18) - Was rotated in midfield along with Isaac Blixt and Johan Heinonen, did well but needs to do better in the future.
Martin Andersson (YP19) - Did alright but didn't get many opportunities due to numerous things including injuries.
Finances - hoping for some big profit next season, fingers crossed

April 2017
Swedish Cup 1st Round: FC Trollhattan 1-2 Tord
We made a meal out of what should have been an easy win against a team 2 levels below us. In the 17th min we took the lead as their defence just fell apart allowing a 3 on 1 situation in our favour, Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) unselfishly passed to Johan Bystrom (YP2) to tap into an empty net. In the 2nd half they got right back into it thanks to an own goal but in the end we were too strong for them as Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) grabbed a goal of his own to send us past the 1st round for the 1st time in 3 years.
League: Tord 1-1 Landskrona
Our debut in a new league went reasonably well I thought. We probably should have lost given the chances the opposition had but a draw is a great result against one of the better teams in the division. Ther game was quiet until they took the lead in the 50th min. As the pushed for a 2nd we attacked on the counter and managed to earn a penalty which Johan Bystrom (YP2) slotted away.
League: Degerfors 0-0 Tord
Went better than expected considering our usual away form. A draw was a fair result in the end but either team had chances to win it.
Swedish Cup 2nd Round: Varbergs BOIS 1-2 Tord
Another favourable draw for us as we get another 4th tier team. Due to there being a league match a few days after this I decided to put out a mostly 2nd string side ( I can actually do that now). We started well and Lars Lundgren (YP18) capped it off with a goal. But we didn't defend well after that and quickly conceded an equaliser. Our next goal was definately worthy of winning an otherwise poor match, Fredrik Bjork (YP12) went on a 40 yard run before placing it into the top corner.
League: Tord 2-2 Trelleborg
So close to our 1st league win and we deserved it. Twice we took the lead in this match and twice we were pegged back within 10 mins. Johan Bystrom (YP2) gave us an early lead in the 8th min but they equalised 3 mins later. Then in the 82nd min Christoffer Zekria (YP17) looked to have got us the winner until Trelleborg equalised in the 90th min.
League: LB07 1-1 Tord
We really need to win these matches if we want to stay up. We had 5 clear cut chances and numerous half chances but could only take 1 of them which wasn't enough for all 3 points. They took the lead in the 58th min and it looked like it was going to be one of those days until Martin Andersson (YP19) scored from a tight angle. Played 4, drawn 4, scored 4, conceded 4, 4 points.
May 2017
League: Tord 1-2 Sleipner
Threw away our good start, Anders Svensson (YP16) gave us the lead in the 12th min but we conceded twice in the 2nd half to earn our 1st loss of the season.
League: Orgryte 1-0 Tord
Need to get (back) to winning ways soon or we could be in serious trouble. Luck wasn't on our side for this one as it was a fairly even game which Orgryte managed to win.
League: Tord 4-1 Syrianska Kerburan
A fantastic all round performance and a thoroughly deserved win. Even more surprisingly it was 0-0 at half time and looking like an awful match. But a Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) brace soon kicked the match into life. Heinonen powered home a 3rd in the 81st min as we cruised to victory. They got 1 back almost immediately but it was too little too late. Robin Johannesson (YP15) then added a 4th in injury time just to rub it in.
Swedish Cup 3rd Round: Tord 2-0 Assyriska
An incredible result, our 1st win against a Premiership side and we deserved it. Johan Bystrom (YP2) and Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) both scored in the opening 10 mins to shock our opponents who never fully recovered. We saw out the rest of the game to make it to the 4th round for the 1st time ever.
League: Kvarnby 2-1 Tord
Very disappointing, we should be winning these but again we threw it away from a winning position. Christoffer Zekria (YP17) gave us a 1st half lead with his goal in injury time but a shocker of a 2nd half saw us concede twice and lose the game.
League: Oster 1-1 Tord
How we came away with a point i'll never know, our goal was bombarded for 90 mins yet we survived. It looked like it was going to be bad when Oster took the lead in the 3rd min but Fredrik Kalrsson (YP8) equalised in the 22nd min and from then on we hung on for dear life until the final whistle.
League: Tord 0-0 Djurgarden
A great result for us against the pre season favourites to be promoted. We didn't create any chances ourselves but we stopped them creating any.
Good goal difference though!! you should b 8th or so with it :P
Not bad. Good cup run. If you only can get a few of the draws into wins now. Good luck.
I see my favourite swedish team is in the division. Häcken. Will be interesting to see how you do against them.
you really need to turn those draws around. One win and you should shoot up the table

Rich, better to draw than lose though
I have seen a team (can't remember what one) with 25 odd draws, 1 win and about 4 losses in the top half, its just being consistent
My prediction: Tord stay up, barely. Next season, Tord improve. Next season, Tord take a shot at the playoffs.
Surprised to see Djurgarden relegated, aren't they a quite big team? Good to see you're picking up results on a regular basis, even if they're usually draws.
Great career so far \o/, read through the whole update. Sweden is by far my favourite country to play in - though last time I tried here I hit the brick wall in the second tier.
Given that the 6th and the last teams are separated by 7 points only, this year's gonna be interesting.
BTW your tactical approach looks really similar to mine. I also love narrow pitches but love even more narrow and short pitches!
Thanks for all the comments guys
Flamers: I guess that's something, I would prefer the points than the goal difference though
Taunton: If only my team could take what they do in the cup into the league, would make it a lot less stressful for me.
RichG: yer at least all these draws are just about keeping me in touch with the rest of the table
DSYoungEsq: I would take that
SnakeXe: In game theyve bounced around between a top 1st Division Elite team to struggling Premier Division side. In the early 21st century they were one of the top clubs but since 2008 theyve fallen apart.
emgergo: Sweden is a really fun country to play in, I prefer England but that's only because I know more about the English game.
June 2017
League: IK Sirius 3-1 Tord
Not a good start to the month, 2 goals in 5 mins in the 1st half effectively ended the match for us. They got a 3rd early in the 2nd half which sealed the 3 points although Heinonen did get a consolation in the 66th min.
League: Tord 1-1 Hacken
A good point against one of the better sides in the division. It wasn't looking good when they took the lead early on from a corner but we fought back well and Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) got us a deserved equaliser in the 59th min.
League: Norrkoping 1-1 Tord
The game of the Fredrik Karlsson's, firstly Norrkoping's Fredrik Karlsson scored a penalty in the 1st min to give them the lead. But our own Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) equalised in the 15th min.
League: Tord 2-3 GAIS
I admit I did chuckle at their name . But by the end of the game I wasn't laughing as they trounced us. They took the lead through a penalty in the 33rd min but Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) equalised for us for the 3rd time in as many matches. Our poor start to the 2nd half gifted them the match as they scored 2 early goals which was too much us for us to come back from. Christoffer Zekria (YP17) did get us 1 back in the 82nd min but that was it.
Bloody GAIS
As long as you're still in touch, there's hope, chin up!
July 2017
League: Vasteras SK 1-1 Tord
Johan Bystrom (YP2) gave us 1st half lead but that was ruled out by a 2nd half Vasteras SK goal to make it yet another draw. It also extended our winless run.
Swedish Cup 4th Round: Tord 2-0 Hammarby Fotboll
The cup is a welcome distraction at the moment as we keep on pulling off the results. The 1st half was pretty average, neither side getting many chances but in the 2nd half we pulled away from them. Johan Bystrom (YP2) gave us the lead 9 mins into it. Anders Svensson (YP16) wrapped things up in th 82nd min after heading home from a free kick.
League: Landskrona 2-0 Tord
Back to league form, I assume fatigue had a big part to play in this as well, this being our 3rd match in a week. We never really showed up for this match and deserved to lose.
League: Tord 2-0 LB07
Our 1st league win for 10 games but it has come at a price as Johan Bystrom (YP2) is now out injured for 3-4 weeks. But not before he opened the scoring for us just before half time. Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) then made it 2-0 midway through the 2nd half to secure the win.
League: Tord 2-0 Degerfors
A 2nd win in a row , but again it has come at a price as Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) is now out injured for 7-8 weeks. But like Johan Bystrom (YP2) in the previous match he still had time to make an impact by scoring the 1st goal. Martin Andersson (YP19) then added the 2nd in the 81st min to see us rise out of the autoatic relegation places.
League: Trelleborg 2-2 Tord
With our two best strikers out injured up steps Christoffer Zekria (YP17) to score twice in the 1st half to give us a shock 2-0 lead going into the break. However we fell apart in the 2nd half and a penalty let them back into the game before they equalised with the last kick of the game.
You need to score more :P Your goals conceded put you 4th!!! same with your loses!
Put naked Swedish girls in the opposition goals and reward the players who score.
August 2017
Swedish Cup Quarter Final: Tord 0-1 Elfsborg
As you can see from the stats we gave this match a right go and were unlucky not to take it into extra time at least. Story of our season really, create plenty of chances but can't finish them. Maybe it would have been a different story if our 2 best strikers weren't out injured for this match.
League: Sleipner 3-1 Tord
I knew we would struggle in this match due to it being played 3 days after the cup match. We got off to a terrible start, being a goal and man down after just 15 mins. They scored twice more in the 1st half and it looked like the beginnings of a rout but we played better in the 2nd half and even got a consolation thanks to an own goal.
League: Tord 1-2 Orgryte
Another terrible start as we conceded almost straight away and could have been 2 down inside half an hour had they not missed a penalty. Johan Bystrom (YP2) levelled things up on his return in the 34th min but our parity didn't last long as Orgryte retook the lead 4 mins later.
League: Syrianska Kerburan 1-1 Tord
Another exciting start to the match as Johan Bystrom (YP2) put us in the lead in the 4th min but they equalised 2 mins later. The last 3 matches we have conceded in the opening 6 mins .
League: Djurgarden 3-1 Tord
For once we played incredible in the 1st half, Johan Bystrom (YP2) single handedly is dragging us along as he scored another goal to give us a 1-0 half time lead. But we completely fell apart in the 2nd half after conceding twice in the opening 10 mins, they could have had 6 or 7 luckily it was only 3.
September 2017
League: Tord 1-1 IK Sirius
Have a run of 3 home games where we need to pick up some points, this one went alright i'll take the point. We conceded early in the 1st half but Miodrag Damjanovic (YP3) got his 1st of the season to grab us the draw.
League: Tord 1-1 Kvarnby
Really thought we would have won this but we blundered. Fredrik Karlsson (YP8), on his return to the 1st team, looked to have given us all 3 points when he scored in the 86th min but Kvarnby equalised in the last min of added time.
League: Tord 0-0 Oster
Our winless streak extends to 9 games after this bore draw, we really should have won it though, there were at least 3 good chances to do so.
League: Hacken 3-1 Tord
10 games now and relegation is looking increasingly likely especially if we keep playing like this. Conceding twice in quick succesion in the 1st half really took the fight out of us. A third after half time killed the game although Johan Bystrom (YP2) got a consolation late on.
Remaining Fixtures:
Norrkoping (H)
Vasteras SK (H)
Vasteras SK:
Kvarnby (A)
Djurgarden (H)
Tord (A)
Vasteras SK (H)
Landskrona (A)
Degerfors (H)
Prediction: Comes down to the last game of the season, you needing a 2-0 win
hrbfcrule, do you think going down (if you do) will be beneficial in the long run, as it often is? It seems that you're defence is more than capable for this level, if only you could score more!
My prediction - Tord to stay up on GD (thus rewarding you're defensive prowess...)
Just seems you're short on matchwinners at the moment come on Tord!!
Going down wouldn't be a disaster but I would need to get promoted back up within a couple of seasons I would be in big financial trouble.
October 2017
League: Tord 0-0 Norrkoping
A bore draw but it's a point and we'll take it. We were outplayed for large parts of the match but we did have our chances to win it.
Kvarnby 1-1 Vasteras SK
League: GAIS 0-1 Tord
Could this be the result to save the season. GAIS were probably the better team but didn't create many chances whereas we had one golden one which Fredrik Lundgren (YP10) took in the 79th min to get us our 1st win in 12 games.
Vasteras SK 0-2 Djurgarden
Landskrona 0-1 Kvarnby
So basically we need to avoid defeat in our final match, that is all.
. . . . and even then we still go into a relegation playoff
Last edited by hrbfcrule; 07-12-2010 at 15:05.
*Drum roll*
See my prediction motivated your players
Relegation playoff: draws all matches...
My money's on 3 draws, staying up on away goals
League: Tord 2-1 Vasteras SK
Phew. It was a very even game. Christoffer Zekria (YP17) scored a "controversial" penalty for us with 5 mins of the 1st half remaining. Martin Andersson (YP19) then doubled it early in the 2nd half and it looked like we were cruising it. However my team will never do things the easy way, Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) got himself sent off with 20 mins remaining then with 5 mins left they had a goal disallowed. In the 89th min they scored and this time it was allowed to stand then in the 97th min they had another disallowed goal. Bloody hell that was nerveracking.
Vasteras SK took it upon themselves to injure as many people as possible to ruin me in the playoff, they succeeded in injuring 3 people in the match. So that leaves us with 9 people out for the 1st leg (8 injuries, 1 ban) 3 of the injured players may be able to play in the 1st leg but their condition will probably be too low. But we should have 5 of them back for the 2nd leg.

Haven't seen this before
The funny thing is it's the opposition manager complaining about the state of his own pitch
A nerve wrecking run in for sure. Hope you will do well in the play offs. It would be essential for you to stay up and build on the experience from this season. Have to say that the youngsters are doing very well. The swedish first division is very competetive and I think you did well just to avoid relegation.
Crossing fingers now
Good luck in the playoff!
Who is the playoff against? Degerfors?
Thanks for the good luck messages, sorry it's been a while but I have been really busy recently due to numerous tests.
13th and 14th from the Elite Division (2nd Tier) play the teams who finished 2nd in the Fits Division North or South (3rd Tier).
So it's a relegation playoff for 2 teams but promotion playoff for the other 2. I assume the 2 relegated teams can't play each other and the 2 promoted teams can't play each other.
Relegation Playoff
1st Leg: Forward 1-2 Tord
We got off to a terrible start when Forward scored after just 10 mins of play. Then a goal out of nothing sparked us into life, Isaac Blixt curled one into the top corner from about 25 yards out, not sure about the celebration though. We continued to push for the lead throughouth the rest of the 1st half but we just couldn't break down the Forward defence. I was hoping to start from where we left off in the 2nd half but that was quickly ripped to shreds rather like an opposition player's leg once Martin Andersson (YP19) had finished with him, unfortunately this earned him a red card which sent us down to 10 men. From this point on we were on the back foot and I was looking to settle for the draw. We somehow went one better than that when Johan Bystrom (YP2) took advantage of some very poor defending to before beating the keeper and tapping into an empty net. How we came away with a win here i'll never know but i'll take it.
2nd Leg: Tord (3) 1-1 (2) Forward
Only had enough players for 3 subs like in the 1st leg (admittedly I could have used the players in the reserves or U19's). Despite this we played extremely well creating loads of chances but as per usual we just couldn't finish them. Again we conceded 1st and againit was from an early goal as we paid the price for starting off slow. We soon found our stride though and pushed for an equaliser, I could barely watch as we went into the final 10 mins ahead on only away goals. Then our big chance came as we awarded a clear penalty, Christoffer Zekria (YP17) stepped up and smacked it onto the inside of the post. My anger and hatred towards him was shortlived though as Forward cleared the ball away really poorly allowing Fredrik Bjork (YP12) to score after going 1 on 1 with the keeper. Despite a few more nervy moments including them hitting the bar from 6 yards out in the 91st min we hung on to survive for another season.
Wahey! Congrats on staying up
You stayed up! \o/
Woohoo!!!!! I knew you could do it!
See how prescient I am!Originally Posted by me
Yessss! Nice one, good work on staying up! \o/
Fantastic! I've read through your whole... well, ordeal really, and will follow you onwards. Köra på Tord!
Yes! You stayed up. Good luck with the next season. Great achivement to stay up.
Well done on surviving relegation mate, keep it up
Thanks guys
End of Season Report: IK Tord Swedish First Division Elite, 2017
League Table, League Graph
We drew half of our league matches, says it all really. We don't really have the quality to finish games off while we are in the lead and end up conceding late on. Hopefully we will also get a bit more luck in the upcoming season. The league went right down to the wire, we managed to beat Vasteras SK to take us into the relegation playoff spots. We then scraped past Forward 3-2 on aggregate in the playoffs to survive by the skin of our teeth.
Relegation Playoff 1st Leg
Relegation Playoff 2nd Leg
Swedish Cup
We had an extraordinary run in the cup. In the 1st and 2nd rounds we just about scraped past 2 4th tier sides, both games finishing 2-1. But then we were drawn with the big guns in the Swedish Premier League. Admittedly they were some of the worst of the Premier League teams, the 2 that I beat finished 14th and 15th (out of 16). Johan Bystrom (YP2) was to thank for getting us through to the quarter finals as he scored against both Assyriska and Hammarby Futbol on our way to recording 2-0 victories over each. At the quarter final stage we drew Elfsborg, also of the Premier League. This time they were just too strong for us and we succumbed to a 1-0 loss although I thought we played extremely well.
Youth Players
Anton Alvefelt (YP1) - One of the worst players in the squad at the moment, was terrible in the First Division Elite although that is understandable as he struggled in the division below.
Johan Bystrom (YP2) - Not bad, 12 in 31 with 8 assists. One of the better performers really need him to keep it up next season or we could be in real trouble.
Miodrag Damjanovic (YP3) - Absolutely terrible I gave him plenty of chances but 1 goal and 1 assist in 24 is unacceptable. Will be sold asap.
Thomas Jonsson (YP4) - I think he has retired as I can't seem to find him. Last time I checked on him was in October and he had yet to find another club.
Tony Thoren (YP5) - Pretty decent. His performances are reflected by the amount of goals we conceded in the league (39, the 5th lowest). Will be a key player for many seasons to come.
Filip Linder (YP6) - Started off incredibly well, even winning a couple of player of the month's which is very good for a team struggling to survive. Although we did lose a lot of games this season it could have been much worse if he hadn't pulled off some top quality saves.
Niklas Andersson (YP7) - Only played a few games while Filip Linder (YP6) was injured. Played alright but still is 2nd choice.
Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) - Good partner to Johan Bystrom (YP2), 11 in 28 for Karlsson. These two are capable of smashing in the goals but as soon as they get injured we struggle badly.
Christer Lindahl (YP9) - Got a few more games than he usually does due to injuries but didn't do too much to cement a 1st team place.
Fredrik Lundgren (YP10) - Our whole midfield seemed to struggle, I think it really lacks quality. Lundgren being an example of this.
Calle Ewald (YP11) - Has probably overtaken Anton Alvefelt (YP1) as 1st choice left back and has done really well.
Fredrik Bjork (YP12) - Could and should be playing at Bystrom (YP2) and Karlsson (YP8)'s level if it weren't for injuries. Was out for most of the season with a torn calf muscle. Hoping he will stay fit next season as he should be an exciting prospect.
Stefan Nilsson (YP13) - Commits a lot of fouls but seems to get away with it, I suppose that's what DM's have to do sometimes to break down counter attacks. Again another player showing how average our midfield is.
Paul Johansson (YP14) - The best of the midfield which is pretty bad considering his average rating was just 6.87.
Robin Johannesson (YP15) - The only thing I can say about him is that he did score a goal, apart from that you wouldn't have remembered he was there.
Anders Svensson (YP16) - Looks like last season wasn't just a flash in the pan for him as again he was consistently the best player.
Christoffer Zekria (YP17) - Hoping he can get to a similar level as Bystrom (YP2) and Karlsson (YP8). He improved greatly this season but is still only 19 so there is some way to go.
Lars Lundgren (YP18) - Terrible. As he is only 18 I'm willing to let him stay and (hopefully) improve.
Martin Andersson (YP19) - A real disappointment as he showed promise last season. Hoping for an improvement next season (to be honest it would be hard not to.)
Anders Axelsson (YP20) - Probably one of the worst overall performances I have ever seen, this shows how badly I have been clutching at straws these past few years when choosing youth products to come into the 1st team.
Finances - Profit \o/, never thought I would be able to say that (without being wrong). Board won't upgrade youth facilities but another season of 90k profit should be enough.

April 2018
Swedish Cup 1st Round: Varnamo 0-3 Tord
A great start to the season as we brushed aside a poor Varnamo. Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) netted twice, once in each half and Fredrik Bjork (YP12) got the other. The pick of the goals being Fredrik Karlsson (YP8)'s 2nd where he ran 40 yards before smashing it into the top corner.
League: Landskrona 0-1 Tord
A shock winnning start in the league as well. Johan Bystrom (YP2) got the only goal of the game early in the 2nd half. You couldn't argue we didn't deserve it.
Swedish Cup 2nd Round: Skiljebo 0-1 Tord
Another good win considering I am putting out weakened sides for the cup games. But it was 1st team regular Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) who got us the goal. He headed home from a corner in 1st half injury time.
League: Tord 1-0 Degerfors
4 wins in a row?!?!?!?! We deserved victory again here after Degerfors gave us an advantage by getting a man sent off in the 40th min. This allowed Fredrik Bjork (YP12) to grab the winner in the 70th min after playing a lovely one two with Christoffer Zekria (YP17).
League: Assyriska 0-3 Tord
Beat them last season in the cup and now even more shockingly we have thrashed them away from home. This meant we now have twice as many away league wins as we did in the whole of last season. We got off to a fantastic start with Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) and Johan Heinonen both scoring in the opening quarter of an hour. Johan Bystrom (YP2) put the icing on the cake in the 2nd half. The defence should also get a mention as we have now got 5 consecutive clean sheets earning me the "Park the Bus" Steam achievment.
League: Tord 2-1 Atvidaberg
Our winning streak just keeps on going . At half time it looked like it would come to an end as Atvidaberg were 1-0 up and all over us. However we gave a monumental 2nd half performance where both Johan Bystrom (YP2) and Anders Svensson (YP16) early on to turn the game in our favour.
6 wins in a row, crazy :O
May 2018
League: Syrianska Kerburan 4-1 Tord
Well it had to end sometime but boy were brought down to earth with a bump. It was a very open game but Syrianska's superior strikers proved the difference. They quickly went two up but Anders Svensson (YP16) pulled one back for us almost straight away. The real blow was when they restored their 2 goal advantage just before half time. That really took it otut of us and we collapsed in the 2nd half allowing them to score another.
League: Tord 1-0 Oster
A good comeback win in a match that could have gone either way. Martin Andersson (YP19) got his 1st of the season on the hour mark to make it 5 wins out of 6 in the league for us.
League: Sleipner 0-0 Tord
I must have got this wrong very wrong tactically as they destroyed us throughout the match but just couldn't score. Even when they went down to 10 men in the 57th min they looked the more likely to score.
Swedish Cup 3rd Round: Tord 2-0 AIK
Greatest moment ever!! We got a harsh draw in the cup against 2nd placed AIK in the Premier Division. They had lost once this season out of 11 games and are in the Euro Cup. So what do we go and do that's right beat them despite me making 6 changes to last match's line up so we were playing with half a 1st team and half fringe players. Anders Svensson (YP16) scored his 3rd in 4 games - not bad for a defender to give us the lead at half time. Martin Andersson (YP19) got his 2nd in 3 games to seal a shock victory. Our 3rd Premier Division scalp in 2 years.
League: Tord 0-2 GAIS
We ran out of luck, GAIS were the marginally better team and they put away their chances to prove that.
League: LB07 2-0 Tord
Damn! Could 2nd season syndrome be kicking in now? Admittedly we were really unlucky to lose let alone by 2 goals. My strikers are really struggling now Johan Bystrom (YP2) and Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) both on goal droughts now.
June 2018
League: Tord 2-1 Vasalund
Christoffer Zekria (YP17) was another play on a goal drought but he righted it in this match with his 1st 2 goals oo the season. Vasalund got off to a good start by scoring 1st but Zekria (YP17) scored at two crucial times, once right at the end of the 1st half and again in the 89th min giving Vasalund minimal time to reply.
League: Falkenberg 1-0 Tord
A bit disappointed since Falkenberg were in the relegation zone but they were the better team on the day and probably should have won by more.
League: Tord 2-1 Trelleborg
Our home form is staying strong at the moment though. Christoffer Zekria (YP17)'s season has really kicked off now as he bagged another to give us the lead. Johan Bystrom (YP2) ended his 16 hour goal drought to seal the victory although Trelleborg did make it nervy when they got one back in the 87th min.
League: Tord 2-0 Brommapojkarna
Another good home win but again the men you would expect to get the goals aren't getting them, Johan Bystrom (YP2) and Fredrik Karlsson (YP8), my supposedly "star" strikers have now scored 1 between them in the last 10 matches, very disappointing. Lars Lundgren (YP18) hasn't had the best of seasons so far but his early goal gave us a 1-0 lead. Tony Thoren (YP5) powered home a header in the 76th min to seal the 2 goal win.
League: Norrkoping 1-0 Tord
It's becoming a bit predictable, win at home and lose away. Not saying I wouldn't take that or anything. We were a bit unfortunate not to get anything in this one but 5 away matches without a win suggests a change in tactics may be in order.
Only 1 draw all season so far? I don't like it it feels weird
Get ready to ship it buddy! (pls spam till 4th page)
July 2018
Swedish Cup 4th Round: Sylvia 1-0 Tord
After the heroics of the last round this was a pretty tame way to go out. Anton Alvefelt (YP1) didn't help our cause when he got sent off in the 68th min. Things went from bad to worse when they nicked the lead with just a few mins left. We didn't have time to respond and went crashing out to lower league opposition.
League: Tord 2-1 Assyriska
Got off to a terrible start with Mattias Hakannsson (YP23) getting himself sent off in the 7th min. However we got a bit of payback when we took the lead through an own goal. We hung on well for the rest of the match and it looked like it would be enough for the 3 points until Assyriska equalised in the 2nd min of injury time in the 2nd half. We didn't give up though and Fredrik Karlsson (YP8) ended his goaldrought to get us the winner in the 94th min.
League: Degerfors 3-0 Tord
Our usually solid defence went missing this match as we crashed to a 3 goal defeat. We conceded from every shot on target in this match. Not just the defence's fault either, our strikers had plenty of chances to get us into the game. All round a terrible performance.
League: Tord 1-1 Orgryte
A pretty dire game to be honest, just 9 shots in total with less than half of them on target. Fredrik Bjork (YP12) struck in the 2nd min to give us the lead but Orgryte equalised out of nothing 6 min into the 2nd half to earn themselves a point.
League: Tord 0-2 Landskrona
A guess I should have seen that coming, we have been riding our luck recently especially at the very start of the season. Now we don't seem to be getting any, we went 2-0 down after 8 mins from Landskrona's 1st 2 shots of the game. We dominated the rest of the match but just couldn't find the net, well actually we did but it was wrongly ruled offside. We did have a few penalty appeals but I can't really tell if they are actually penalties or not. It did say after the match that the ref had a poor game though.

Is it possible to get the field type from a MySQL query, in the same way you can get it from a table with the

I was hoping there was something similar to the

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
A technology that allows scientists to isolate and interrogate a cell's secretory pathway organelles has demonstrated that current techniques for analyzing a cell's secretory output may be missing a large number of potentially key proteins. One way that cells communicate with each other is through the production and signalling of secretory proteins, and current techniques for identifying such proteins uses mass spectrometry-based analysis of the growth medium to see what the cells are adding to what's already present.
However, due to the mix of proteins and compounds contained in the growth medium to support the cultured cells, this method isn't ideal. Furthermore, using MS to identify low-abundance secreted proteins typically requires the use of altered culture conditions such as serum-free medium, which can itself impact on the cell's secretory output.
Researchers at North Carolina State University (NC State) have now developed a platform that they claim allows them to isolate secretory pathway organelles from cells and analyze the contents of the intact organelles by mass spectrometry directly. "This gives us a snapshot of exactly what a cell was secreting at that point in time," explains Balaji Rao, who heads the team at NC State.
The researchers used the technique to isolate the subcellular secretory pathway fractions from mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). MS analysis of the fractions identified 99 proteins putatively secreted by the MEFs, and 129 by the hESCs. Importantly, of these, 76 MEF proteins and 37 hESC proteins hadn't previously been reported in MS analyses.
A major effect of the medium formulation on the proteins secreted by cells was also observed. There were significant differences between the abundances of several secreted proteins produced by hESCs cultured in MEF-CM, and those exposed to unconditional hESC medium.
The new technique could feasibly allow researchers to monitor a cell's secretory output in response to a range of applied stimuli and chemicals, and identify proteins that are secreted by one cell type in a heterogeneous cell population. "As long as you can separate the cells you are interested in, this should be possible," Dr. Rao claims. "And that is important, because most tissues are made up of heterogeneous populations of cells—and communication between those cells is biologically significant."
Dr. Rao et al., describe their technology and its application in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, in a paper titled "Targeted proteomics of the secretory pathway reveals the secretome of mouse embryonic fibroblasts and human embryonic stem cells."

NEWELL - For some, it's the rich colors. Others laud its durability and versatility. And everybody loves the fact that Fiesta ware, the flagship product of Homer Laughlin China Co., is made in America.
"They're great dishes," said Steve Scallan, a Newell resident, as he loaded boxes into the back of his pickup. "People love them, and they're collectible, too. They're heavy, they're durable and they're American made."
Scallan and his wife were among scores of Fiesta aficionados from around the country who waited in line, some for hours, for a chance to go bargain shopping at Homer Laughlin's three-day summer tent sale, one of two the company holds each year.

LOOKING FOR ITEMS — Ron Gifford of Davenport, Fla., and Dave McDaniels of New Boston, Texas, sort through dozens of brightly colored Fiesta ware bowls. -- Linda Harris
WAITING — Hundreds of Fiesta ware lovers stood in line Thursday for Day 1 of Homer Laughlin China Co.'s summer tent sale. The three-day sale draws hundreds of collectors and dealers from across the country. -- Linda Harris
CATCHES YOUR EYE — The colorful finish is just one of the reasons why people love their Fiesta Ware. -- Linda Harris
On Thursday morning, opening day of the sale, pottery employees distributed 500 numbered tickets to early bird shoppers, most of whom camped out overnight to make sure they were in the first groups admitted to the tent. Late arrivals gathered at the end of the line, chatting quietly as they waited in 90-degree heat for their chance to move toward the front.
At the 90-minute mark, one guard said the person at the front of the line was holding Ticket No. 360. Another guessed there were at least 750 Fiesta buyers already on the property. Inside the tent, pottery workers were kept busy checking customers out and "constantly restocking bins," Marketing Director Dan Williams said.
By the end of Day 1, Williams said upward of 1,200 people had gone through the line.
"It's fantastic for us," he said. "Being able to see folks here year after -year is fantastic, and it's a boost for the local economy as well."
Williams said roughly 4,500 dozen pieces of Fiesta were sold on Day 1. "That works out to just over 50,000 pieces," he said. "It seems to be going pretty good."
The ground rules: Each sale-goer had to have a ticket to get into the tent. Once inside, each could fill four crates before having to check out.
Once they'd been through the tent and checked out, many circled back to the end of the line for another crack at the tent sale.
Nancy McDaniels of New Boston, Texas, has been coming to Homer Laughlin's tent sales for nearly two decades. This time around she brought her daughter and son-in-law, both teachers, as well as her husband, Dave.
"We've been here since Sunday night," she said. "It's good for the community - most of these people stay here, they eat here. It helps the community, too, to have the tent sale."
McDaniels figures before it's all said and done she'll spend as much as $10,000 -maybe even $15,000 - on Fiesta ware alone. She said she'd already spent $5,000 in the company's retail store before the tent sale started.
"I called my credit card company last night to tell them I'd be making multiple charges today, not to worry about it," McDaniels said. "And even the woman that I talked to knew about it, said she wished she could be here."
McDaniel said she'll keep some of her buys for herself. The rest she'll resell in the Dallas area.
"There aren't many Fiesta dealers there," explained another collector, Shellie Roach, of Canton, Texas. "There's demand."
Roach, accompanied by her sister-in-law, brother and mother, figured to make between $10,000 and $12,000 in Fiesta buys. About 60 minutes into the sale she already had eight crates on the dolly she and her sister-in-law were pushing, and eight more on one being managed by her brother and mother.
"And we're getting back in line to come back and do it again," she said. "We'll be here all day, as long as we have money."
Fiesta, she says, is "a wonderful product. Every piece is ovenproof, dishwasher proof and microwave proof." That means that in addition to using pieces for their intended purpose, you can experiment with other uses.
"Those little teacups, you can make blueberry muffins in them," she said. "I have a pizza tray that I also use when I make meatloaf or cookies, and I'll turn it over and serve cake on it. It's so very versatile, and the colors are (amazing). Probably 90 percent of the customers don't do one color, they mix colors. And it's made in America, that's a big plus. The public is so tired of buying overseas, they really are."
Sarah Gifford, a 15-year-old from Davenport, Fla., was at the sale with her parents. No one under 16 is allowed in the tent, however, so to keep busy, and with her parents' backing, she started a cart rental business a couple years ago.
"I can't go in the tent, so this is what we do," she said. "We've always sold carts at antique shows. When we came here, I noticed people didn't have their own carts and were always fighting over the company's carts, so I figured, why not rent carts to them? My mother, especially, likes the idea of making money while she's spending money."
It's a pretty lucrative three days: the carts, which rent for $10 a day each, are in high demand. She has 40 to rent out.
Inside the tent her father, Ron, was elbow-deep as he sorted through a bin filled with brightly colored bowls. Digging through the same bin was Nancy McDaniels' husband, Dave, with whom he'd struck up a friendship.
"We're here because we have wives that love Fiesta ware," he joked. "It's like they say, 'Happy Wife, Happy Life.' I took some of these over and asked her if she liked them, she said yeah - go get more."

Shrinking Privacy Means Expanding Government
With all the important things going on in the world, it would be easy to overlook the recent news story titled "Kathy Griffin Kisses Anderson Cooper's Crotch." It is worth attending to, however, and applying a bit of analysis.
Here's what happened, during CNN's New Year's Eve program hosted by Anderson Cooper:
Just after midnight, Cooper cut to a report by correspondent Gary Tuchman from Eastport, Maine, where the town's custom is to kiss an 8-foot sardine after it has dropped from the top of a building.
When the camera came back to Griffin and Cooper, she stooped to kiss his crotch.
"Did you drop something?" he asked.
"No, I was kissing your sardine," she answered.
"I can do it again," Griffin said kneeling. "I can do this all night long."
"No, sweetie," said an uncomfortable Cooper, lifting her back to her feet.
"You know you want to," she said.
"Believe me, I really don't," Cooper said as he once again pulled her upright.
Griffin had preceded this with other on-air references to Cooper's private parts.
The story returned to the news on Tuesday, after Griffin, a brassy, frequently sex-referencing comedienne, refused to apologize for the stunt Monday night on The David Letterman Show. USA Today reported:
"If you think this is the part where I'm going to apologize ...," she said, "you are sorely mistaken."
Not having watched the Letterman show in question (I will do only so much in the interests of science), I do not know whether anyone actually suggested that she should apologize, and it seems likely that the event will only enhance Griffin's reputation as a wacky, do-anything-for-a-laugh entertainer. Nonetheless, despite the essential triviality of the event itself, there are some serious implications to be seen in Griffin's antics being broadcast to the world during a news network's New Year's Eve coverage. What is important here is the further erasing of the line between what is private and what is public, because that affects all of us.
Griffin has a right to kiss whatever strikes her fancy whenever the urge arises (although Cooper's obvious discomfort with her behavior suggests that mutual consent was not the case here). Nevertheless, the essential element in any assertion of a right to privacy is, as should be obvious, privacy. If we agree that an activity is protected from interference by others because it is private, we can expect others to adhere to that agreement only if we keep that behavior private. To argue that what may be done in private must also be acceptable in public thus contradicts the assertion of privacy. It invites others to respond, and they may do so in ways the initiator did not foresee.
Of course, a single instance of such exhibitionism will have little effect, and Griffin's stunt is probably of no great moment in that regard. But when such actions are commonplace, as they indeed are in today's culture, there is a cumulative effect that serves to confuse and indeed erase the distinction between private and public. Cultural activity such as Griffin's public emulation of behavior that is privileged from interference precisely because of its private nature, then, is not a triumph for liberty, but instead a threat to it, as noted astutely by the political thinker Frank S. Meyer. For what is at stake in the elision of the difference between public and private is the very foundation of rights and liberties: as the public sphere expands, the state inevitably claims authority over it.
This is the classic distinction made in the English claim that a man's home is his castle. What is private belongs to the individual to attend to as he or she may see fit, and other individuals, banding together in society, have no right to interfere in what is private, except in cases of force or fraud. But as formerly private things become public, the state is naturally seen as having a legitimate purview over them. This is evident in feminists' contemporary inversion of the English claim to privacy: "The personal is the political."
All of this suggests a connection between the seemingly contradictory positions of the collectivist left in wanting more government in economic matters but more liberty on social issues: the latter actually leads to more government overall. Consider how the rise of illegitimate births was spurred by the welfare state, which then created perverse economic incentives that led to further increases in illegitimacy, which, as we know, is a huge creator of poverty. The additional increase in poverty brought an outcry for more government action in order to remedy it, and so on. Multiply that across a variety of issues, and you have a synergistic effect between the sexual revolution and the increase of the state, resulting in an increasingly rapid growth of government power. The political scientist Charles Murray has done particularly good work in documenting this phenomenon in his books and other writings, especially Losing Ground and Coming Apart.
This helps explain why the Sexual Revolution was accompanied by rapid growth of government instead of a reduction in state power. A central element of the Sexual Revolution was the great expansion of sexual content in the public square through mass media. After the publication of the Kinsey Report on sexual behavior, the subject became an increasing topic of public discussion and debate. Soon thereafter, in the wake of Supreme Court decisions on obscenity, it began to pervade the realm of entertainment and amusement. Increasingly, then, matters which everyone had long agreed were private (and still considered to be so, as the commonality of sexual right-to-privacy argumentation makes clear) were brought out into the public, and the personal became the political by virtue of becoming public. For example, laws regulating workplace sexual relationships proliferated, reaching an apotheosis of sorts in the messy impeachment of President Clinton and its introduction of new subject matter into the public conversation.
On top of all that, in recent years, technological change has vastly increased the amount of personal information and individual expression made publicly available and has further broken down any remaining barriers of privacy. As far back as 1999, The Economist observed, in reference to increasing government surveillance of individuals through new technology, "In the brave new world of the information age, the right to be left alone is certain to come under siege as never before." That assertion has proven true.
The notion of a person's home being his castle surely has its shortcomings: it can leave the way open for outrages and tragedies behind closed doors. But it is definitely superior to the idea that everything is political -- i.e., the sphere of the state. And in undermining the distinction between what is private and what is public, a culture in which bedroom activities and other highly private behaviors are widely publicized actually serves the interest of an ever-expanding state.
The way to interrupt the feedback relationship between the shrinking of privacy and the growth of the state is certainly not regulation of the culture (which is probably unworkable under current conditions, anyway), but instead a concerted effort to reduce government power. Yet this appears to be unlikely without a common agreement to redefine much of life as private and treat it as such. Edmund Burke identified the importance of this relationship and the distinction between public and private when he stated, "Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters." Our culture appears to be particularly adept at forging those fetters, and until that changes, it seems that continual government expansion will remain the way of things.

TECUMSEH — Police used surveillance video to find the driver of a pickup that was involved in a hit-and-run crash that sent a pedestrian to an Ann Arbor hospital Wednesday.
The victim is a Tecumseh High School student who was on her way to school, according to the Tecumseh Police Department.
The driver, whose name was not released, was questioned, and he told police he did not realize he had struck the girl at 7:12 a.m. as she crossed West Chicago Boulevard near Cairns Street and the southern drive to the high school.
The girl was transported by Lenawee Community Ambulance to the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor. Police said this morning her condition was unknown. On Wednesday they said she was conscious and speaking with rescue personnel at the scene. Her name has not been released.
Police were looking for a vehicle described by a witness as a small, white pickup. Officers reviewed surveillance videos from the area to identify the suspect vehicle and locate its driver.

3. Can I have multiple points representing same x value in scatter plot.
Thanks in advance. Please reply asap.

Among the first crabbing vessels to arrive at the Port of Brookings Harbor on Monday afternoon was the Little Joe, with about 10,000 pounds of crab on board.

"Any day crabbing is a good day," someone commented as the boat sidled up to the dock.
Commercial crabbing season officially began at midnight Monday morning in Southern Oregon, and dozens of boats took to the placid seas to pull pots that had been placed over the weekend. Seasoned fishermen fought off the pinching crustaceans to unload them into metal bins that were hauled off the boat and into containers to be trucked to Eureka for processing.
The season had been delayed twice — once to Dec. 15 and again to Dec. 31 — to allow crabs to get meatier. Crab fishermen in Northern California have been delayed until Jan. 15 to ensure a better harvest. It's the first time crabbers from the two states haven't had the same opening day.
Monday, fishermen on the dock plucked individual crabs from the bins and measured some to make sure they were of legal size — 5¾ inches from point to point.
All the crabs hauled in from the Little Joe were of legal size, but fishermen said there weren't as many, nor of great size, at sea.
Exacerbating the challenges crab fishermen face, California last month placed a fishing ban in the Pyramid Point State Marine Conservation Area in hopes of restoring fish populations. A popular spot called the "mud hole," where many fishermen get their catches, is also within the protected area. And usually, Dungeness crab are exempt from bans in Marine Protected Areas, said Bernie Lindley, president of the Brookings Fishermen's Marketing Association.
This year, California implemented bans in 137 square miles of the 1,027 miles in the North Coast region — roughly 13 percent — further limiting where fishermen can go.
An estimated 25–30 boats, carrying about 100 pots each, routinely fish the MPA each season. It will likely adversely affect Oregon fishermen who also purchased permits from California.
Fishermen were angered at the announcement, wondering aloud if they were supposed to wait until crabs left the reserve and climbed into pots farther offshore. Some said they netted up to 70 percent of their income from that area and would now have to spend more money to get to areas farther out at sea — and encroach on others in the process.
Ralph Dairy, who typically keeps about 600 pots in that area, calculated what it could mean to the local economy, as well.
"Here's what it's worth to our community: for every dollar you bring across the bar, it turns into $7 in our community," said Ralph Dairy, when the ban was announced. "If I bring in $100,000 worth of crab, that's $700,000 to our local community. And I'm just one boat."

The rat is the most broadly used species in neuroscience research. The Cerebral Cortex of the Rat provides an easily accessible, single source of information on the rat cortex. It outlines what is known about the anatomical, neurochemical, physiological, and behavioral organization of the cerebral cortex of the rat and relates this to work done on other mammals, especially primates (including humans). The material is timely because of the increasing pressures to find alternatives to using primates for the study of brain and behavior.
