haha fair play Quavis
My new tactic seemed to do the trick in its first outing - won 3-1 away at Lowestoft, and one of my goals was off a corner - which I had reworked using the set piece creator. I feel like a tactical genius!
Im sure it wont take long for reality to bite again though haha
I consider this a pretty big win in my first season, considering Kettering are 6th in the BSP. I'm really happy with this win, and getting closer to a possible big money FA Cup 3rd round match.
despite a nine game unbeaten run im still 16th in the BSP no promotion this season it seems! although a lot of games to go if i can keep this up mayB il slowly creep my way up the table!
Man these Cups kill your fixture lists. The last week of November and first week of December is nuts. I have a BSS fixture, FA Trophy Fixture, second BSS fixture, then the 2nd round FA Cup tie, and another BSS fixture 3 days later.
I'm planning on fielding a complete reserve team for the FA trophy tie as I really don't care about that competition. However, the BSS fixture in between the FA trophy and the FA cup is the league leaders St. Albans who I have been trying to chase down for awhile. Do I risk playing a full first team in that match with the FA cup 2nd round tie 3 days later? I shouldn't need a 1st team side to win that, but if I don't play the first team and I lose, I'm potentially throwing away a big money draw which the club badly needs. To top it off, I have 3 first team players 1 yellow away from suspension. I'm almost hoping they pick up yellows before the FA Trophy tie they wont be involved in, but I cant control that and they could miss any of these games.
Edit: The decision was made for me. One of my star DCs was just given a straight red for a horrid tackle from behind in the match before the FA trophy match. I'm 99% sure that it will be ruled Violent conduct and he will miss the next 3 matches. I'm not deep at all at the position, so I will likely not be able to win that big BSS match in between. I will now play reserve squads for both games and then the strongest side I can field in the FA cup 2nd round tie to make sure we can score enough to make up for the holes in the back line. None of my players on yellows will be playing until that match.

*Christophe Lowinsky missing but is in Key Players.
Squad is a mass of different nationalities with only one Welsh player which looks staying the trend with no players coming through the youth having potential. Main surprise is I have finaly splashed the cash on 2 Brazilians(Wellington & Rodrigo) who my scouts managed to pick out and provided great reports on. Fees were huge at this level and agents were demanding loads but managed to get them in as Clubs in Denmark and Norway were showing interest. A few of my scouts think they can be Good Prem Players in the future.
Finances are looking not so good and it took the board a season to decide the planning of the improvements to the Training Facilties was a waste time. Was getting good attendances throughout the year almost full every game so could do with expanding but don't know were the money is going to come from.
Key Players
Aaron McLean - Had 16 for acceleration as well as 16 for pace was The perfect Pocher
Christophe Lowinsky - Solid in defence and also popped up the other side of the pitch to score. Does have a bad side and picked up quite a few bookings a long the way.
Oliver Norwood - The ex-Man United youth player came on a free after his contract with Bohemians ended and quickly became the heart beat of the team with most moves coming from him.
Predicted:- 24nd
Finshed:- 1st

Another great season and 3 championships in a row. The hardest season so far with any team able to get results on the day Preston made it a hard fight for the title with us swaping positions a few times near the end but we held 1st for most of the season.

Welsh Wizard: Great Update! Congrats on the 3rd consecutive promotion. Where are you already finding brazilians and how in the world did you get work permits for 2 uncapped brazilians lol? 31k/wk wages o.O . GL in league 1, you like like you already had quite the squad, and those brazilians will only improve it.
Well, we didn't have enough fixture congestion... so of course the backup squad I sent out managed to draw the game in the 90th to force a FA Trophy replay....
The good news is the replay pushed the St. Albans game until AFTER the 2nd round cup tie, so now I can play a full strength side in that game (assuming no one picks up yellows in the cup tie). The bad news is that we added yet another back to back game to my schedule, and we haven't even gotten to the Christmas fixture congestion yet.
I REALLY hate negotiating deals with players and then have the player come back and saying "never mind" . You then try and re-open negotiations and all of a sudden they want 10x what they agreed to last time....
No FA Cup this season. Lost to Bolton 2-0 in the 4th round.
Woah! I was 2-0 down to CSKA Moscow by 30 minutes, by half time it's 2-2. Zamani and NimNimNimely equalising!
I tried to go back into the match to upload the highlights, it must have dumped the memory and crashed. ****nuggets. Guess I'm holidaying the CSKA result. I'll just take the first result again, regardless.
I got the exact same result from the holiday! Score.
Unlucky Gypsum, and ridiculously well done to Welsh Wizard and edin-dzeko. If either of you are promoted again next season, then I shall indeed be suspicious
Are you on an old PC or something Jordan? I don't think I've had a crash since FM05.
FC United 2 - 2 CSKA Moscow
This was NOT what I was expecting from the FA Cup 2nd round match against a non league side. WTF is going on with my side all of a sudden??? TWO more straight red cards, both for violent conduct. I will now have 3!!!! first team starters missing in my next match, including BOTH DC's. Our chance of gaining ground in the next 3 games against teams near us on the table is now likely 0 and we will probably drop a few spots. I'm surprised you guys didn't hear my post-match meeting all the way across the Atlantic :P
The good news to come out of the match is that we still made it through. That was 100% because of new signing Johnny Cosgrove. He scored ALL 4 goals, including scoring when we were 2 men down. His pace was just way too much for the Oxford City defense. He also singlehandedly got their player sent off with his pace The ex-Fulham man joined Chippenham town less than 2 weeks ago but has already proveded to be a fantastic signing, well worth the 1k signing bonus I had to use to lure him to Hardenhuish Park. He will prove the pace and clinical finishing up front that I have been chasing the entire challenge.
Third round draw in a few minutes! Pray for an away match!
edit: I wanted an away match and I got it. I guess I should have specified I wanted an away match vs a Prem team..... Away at L1 Bradford is not really what I was hoping for. I guess some money is better than no money though!
Last edited by Quavis; 20-11-2010 at 03:07. Reason: added 3rd round draw
Quick Tip: For those struggling to hold onto leads (which I was quite a lot), this has been helping me a lot the last dozen or so games (only applicable to 4-4-2):
- Gradually increase Time Wasting from half-way to full over the last 30 minutes. If you do it too quickly, it backfires and you start giving the ball away and getting booked.
- Change strategy to Counter.
- Put width up to about 75% (important if using Counter, as that sets width to quite low).
- Change Focus Passing to "Down Both Flanks" and use the touchline shouts "Exploit The Flanks" and "Retain Possession". The combination of those two results in you just keeping it down the touchline.
- If your opponent has wide midfielders sitting pretty deep, then you might find keeping the ball in wide positions problematic, in which case use "Work Ball Into Box" and "Retain Possession". Although they sound contradictory, they'll then pretty much spread it side to side.
Before, I was of the opinion that holding out at 1-0 in non-league football is asking for trouble, but this is working pretty well for me now. Getting 1-0s left, right and centre now.
Quavis - Managed to get the board to increase my range to worldwide and sent my 11 scouts to different continents and my South American one happens to be half decent. I've got 7 or so he think could become Good Prem players but all but 1 would need work permits. Was going to wait to see if they get any sort of caps but interest came from Scandinavia teams so decided to make a move and see what happened. Agents were a pain but managed to get them to sign. Work permits failed at first attempt which is the 75% caps part I think 2nd attempt was successful which is the potential bit I think so whoever passed them agrees with my scout.
Think wage budget is down too my cup runs and good finances of past seasons but could be the downfall as losses were huge last season despite selling out at home. Prize money and cup runs keeping us afloat atm 2mil on wages last season.
This season wage budget is 48k.
Question of the day.
What is your Wage budget and what League are you in?
wriches - I'm getting suspicious of the game being bugged. Honestly thought L2 would be alot harder but seem only a bit harder than BSN/BSP. Getting harder every time I go up but then I see top players who could play at higher lvls interested so sign them which bridges the gap. Just seen Gibson interested but wanted more than I offer at that time. Think he just signed for Birmingham in the Premiership and should make bench at least. Looking at my team I think a few could play in the Championship and even one or or two in the Prem. Especially the Brazilians who could play for decent Prem teams imo.
I think L1 should be harder based on the JPT final result as they finished around 20th but then again I did win be it narrowly.
Think I'm the only one secretly hoping for mid table boringness or even a relegation battle to make things more interesting. :o
Forgot My Goal of the season/L2 Goal of the season in my season review so here it is
Last edited by Welsh Wizard; 20-11-2010 at 04:48.
Wriches: That sounds pretty much like my normal tactic :P I avoid "retain possession" and timewasting in the lower leagues however. Retain possession will just make your players pass the ball around and eventually they will pass it to the other team. Timewasting just always seems to backfire on me :P
Welsh Wizard: Worldwide already? Nice! 48k wage budget...lol
My Current Wage Budget (BSS/Top Half) is 4.5k/wk
Chippenham Town Mid-Season Update - Blue Square Bet South - 2011/12
With the season half over, Chippenham Town find themselves sitting atop the table in the Blue Square Bet South, if only on goal difference.
The team is finally coming together the way I'd like it to. I haven't tweaked my tactic at all since the season started. The Chippenham strikers are still doing their jobs and giving us a chance to win every game. Our midfield is much better this year now that I have some pacy wingers to run at the opposition defense. The 1st team back four has done very well this season and we are only allowing a goal a game, which is still a bit high, but much, much better than last season. Our goalkeeper position is very strong unlike last year.
League Table
League Position Graph
Top Goalscorer - Chippenham's Captain, Gibson is the target man up front. His goals aren't the prettiest, but he gets the job done.
Best Rating - A new signing for this season, Keanu's speed causes all sorts of problems for opposition defenders. He has done a fantastic job beating his man and then delivering perfect balls into the box for our strikers.
Best Midfielder - The creative play maker, McCabe continues to dominate in the midfield. He is involved in just about every play, the statistics don't do him justice.
Best Defender - The rock in the back, O'Connor is still the glue that keeps the back line together. When he is out of the lineup, we leak goals like a sieve.
Goalkeeper - Jansson is solid in the net, and after last year that is really all I wanted. 8 clean sheets in 21 games is not bad at all. I'm now very deep and have several GKs that should be able to challenge for the starting spot if given the chance..... I'm just too nervous to tweak anything and give them that chance.
FA Cup
We are still alive in the FA cup and that is incredibly pleasing. The FA cup run has helped to stabilize our finances and was badly needed.
FA Trophy
I intentionally played a very weak side in the FA trophy to try and reduce fixture congestion. It took a game longer than I thought it would, but we are not longer in this competition.
Finances - The FA Cup run helped. I've also sold a few players, though no big sales. We are still well into the red, but I'm hoping the 3rd round FA cup tie will help balance the budget a bit. I also suspect a few more people will be sold prior to seasons end.
Goals for the rest of the season:
Win Promotion! (preferably as champions)
Bring in 2-3 more high quality players. We badly need cover for our back four. I could also use cover for both wingers as they seem to get injured often.
AVOID INJURIES!!! - at this point I think only injuries can stop us from gaining promotion this year. I've struggled with injuries throughout the season and they are really starting to pile up. There are currently 2 first teamers already gone for most of the rest of the season with long term injuries. I can't afford to lose many more.

Three Team System with Many Friendlies in Blue Square South
I am using a system which is a bit unrealistic, but is allowing me to have success in the Dafuge's challenge. The most unrealistic part is that I have scheduled many away friendlies which brings in a huge amount of cash.
What I have set up at the club are three teams. A first team, with 5 subs to play in the competitive matches. A second team, complete with 12 subs to play in friendly matches. And a third team with only enough players for a starting team (no subs).
During the pre-season, I scheduled two friendlies a week. One on Saturday and one on Wednesday. I schedule only away friendlies in order to receive the high fee. Most of these are with foreign clubs. I think the highest fee I received was 22K. Once the season starts, I scheduled friendlies for every monday following a saturday match. I needed to schedule all these friendlies before the season began. Otherwise, once the season begins, only domestic teams are available for friendlies and they don't pay the high fee. Near the end of the season, the friendly fees were as low as 2.5K. But this is still good money.
What did I do with all the money? Well I hired the three teams, staying just over the salary budget. The board let me go a little bit over the budget, but not much more.
When I first tried the dafuge challenge this season, I noticed that rating of most of the players which started out as five star had dropped down below three stars. I guess that's because players who look good when they are not yet on the team don't turn out so well after they've joined the team. So, that's where my three team system comes in handy. I can sign a lot of players to low contracts and let the better ones float up to the first team while lesser players sink down to the third team.
I only sign players whose contract has expired. I pay no transfer fees. I only sign players who both my scout and assistant manager recommend "hire at whatever the price". Most of these players are under twenty five. I only hired three players at about 15K per year. The majority of the players were in the 5-10K per year range, with a fair amount of youngsters at 300-450 per year (some of these do quite well on the first team). The majority of these players are under 20 years old. I was able to find quite a few 19 year old players who perform really well in Blue Square South. I used the player search to find them, focusing on key attributes. I isolate the list down to a managable chunk of players who look good based on their attributes, then I send my scouts out to report on them. The ones that come back from the scout with "sign at whatever the price", I send my assistant manager to get a report. The ones that the asst mgr gives "whatever the price" and who are cheap, I sign.
I was able to have other teams pick up most of the original (prior to promotion to Blue Square South) team players on free transfers. But I have a couple on my second and third teams that no other teams wanted.
As far as squad status, I have the entire team on the main team (i.e. noone on the reserve squad). I have squad status as "backup" or higher to keep the morale up. Players apparently don't like to be on the lower teams officially, but noone complains if the first team squad is so large and they actually play only reserve games.
I play the first team in most of the competitive matches. The second team plays the weekly (Monday) friendly and is able to provide players to the first team to fill in for injuries or tired players. The third team fills in for players on the second team and plays in reserve matches, which helps keep the players match fit. Having an entire second team is really handy for those places in the schedule where there are two blue square matches per week. I'm able to field teams that are near 100% condition.
1. Plenty of quality depth to cover for injuries.
2. Financially stable club. The large number of high-fee friendlies covers the cost of the three teams plus some.
3. Many players signed means higher quality at the top. There's quality in quantity.
4. Large club means there's plenty of room for quality young players and they get plenty opportunity for play at the 1st team level (friendlies) or on the reserves.
5. Enough play time to keep most of the club at "match fit" rather than "severly lacking in match fitness".
6. Plenty of depth to keep fresh legs in those high congestion weeks with multiple matches.
1. Not realistic. WOuldn't be able to have that many high fee games on Monday nights throughout the season. Real life playes would realize they are playing a reserve squad role despite their first team in-game status.
2. Lots of micro management running three squads with first teams status. Before each game (including the weekly friendlies and also the reserve games) need to sift through the entire system to decide who to play.
Anyway, this is the system I'm using and am having success with so far (less than part way through first season). I'm curious what others think and whether or not others have done something similar. In some ways, I think it's kind of cheating. But I also choose not to have parent club or take players on loan, so maybe it's not that bad. I don't think I've broken any dafuge challenge rules, so I'll play on with what I have.
If I'm able to win it all, maybe I'll start the challenge again, with a lower reputation team playing with a more realistic system in the future. For right now, I seem to be having enough trouble just completing the challenge the way I'm going

Welsh Wizard: congrats on your achievements. It might sound really silly to ask, but what skin are you using?
jmknpk - unrealistic yes, cheating I wouldn't say so. Abusing game mechanincs pre season to organize games with non playable clubs during a full season indeed. But as long as you play without the nono's such as scouts, databases (and more or less discussed I-WIN-CAUSE-I-USE-HAXXOR-FLAW-MECHANICS-SETUPS) then personally fine with me.
On the time consuming scale however, if the reason to do this, is to increase your finances - I am sure that focusing on just 1 team and play them to L2+ will be alot faster and your earnings will go up alot due to attendances, better players, sell on clauses etc. Also for players, you wont find many (if any) players that will sign for you in BSS that can actually compete in CH and PRM - so realistically, if you want to use that 3 team method, you should wait until atleast L1 - (if the reason to do it is cash)
If you want to see how many crappy youngsters you can get mediocre - hey continue what you do now
Hastings Utd
Season 3 - 2013/14 League 2
Prediction - 24th
Actual - 5th
Going into the season i was expecting a season of struggle and was hoping for survival and not much beyond that, I expected the 2 succesive promotions to cause us to find our level,
I tried to be a little more reserved than normal in the transfer market and try and focus on stability and consistency rather than a total squad overhaul.
We started out solidly enough, and the step up didnt seem to be as stark as i had expected, we soon found ourselves comfortably in mid table and spent much of the season floating a similar number of points away from the Play Offs as we were from the Relegation Zone.
The turning point of the season came when as a manager i had to admit i had been wrong about one of the players i had banished to the reserves.
Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu had been deemed surplus to my requirements at the start of the season, i felt he just didnt have it anymore for this level of football,
I sent him to the reserves and left him there to play out his contract till the end of the season,
But, at around the start of February i needed a spark, we were going nowhere and struggling to finish teams off, we had picked up a few niggles and knocks in the forwards and so i bit the bullet and brought Ndumbu-Nsungu back into the fold.
From that moment he sparked something in the team, first game back he picked up 2 goals in a MOM performance against Morecambe, and another Goal and MOM in his second game back in a 3 - 1 win against promotion chasing Lincoln.
I dont know if he was just playing for a new contract but he had become a one man goal machine, the draws we had suffered from were turning into wins and we finally started to close the gap on the Play Off places.
with 7 games to go we really kicked on and whilst others around us were losing there heads and imploding, an Ndumbu-Nsungu inspired Hastings hit a purple patch of form and managed to climb and climb until on the last day of the season 6 teams were battling it out for the final automatic promotion place and the four play off places, 1 team was going to miss out.
If we won our game, the rest didnt matter, we would have a play off spot,
But if results went our way, automatic promotion was a possibility,
It was not to be, a 1 - 1 draw with Champions Notts County left us in 5th and in the Play Offs
It was Colchester in the Semi's and was negotiated far easier than i had anticipated, the 3 - 2 aggregate scoreline doesnt really reflect the way we played and the domination we had for large parts of the tie, but the main thin was that we were in the Final
Gillingham awaited us in the Final and given that we had played them 3 times this year, suffering 2 defeats and a draw i was not hopeful,
But, The man who had inspired the late season surge stepped up to the plate once again,
2 Goals, 1 Assist, The MOM - Step Forward Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu
Gillingham were destroyed by a 25 minutes Blitzkreig at the start of the first half
Hastings were 4 - 0 up and (I think) were playing Just Like Brazil
It was by far the most outstanding perofrmance so far in this challenge fromk the team and the final score of 4 - 1 saw us gain our promotion and saw Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu step into the History of Hastings Utd as the man who inspired a team to promotion.
If you missed my live commentary - Here it is
Top Players
Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu - Even though he only played half a season, the man was inspired, the reason we got promoted
Kristjan Emilsson - A solid first the season from the big man, scored plenty and generally made a nuisance of himself
Reece Hands - Developing into a quality playmaker, 22 assists is a phenomenal return
Cameron Lindsay - Our resident International Centre Back, Solid and unfussy, a rock at the back
Ryan Fredericks - His pace alone terrified left backs all season, 11 goals from the wing is a cracking return
Next Season
I always feel that survival should be the main priority and even after 3 succesive promotions i am not going to change that view, eventually i feel we will be found out and i just know there is a long tough season just round the corner

been sitting here for little over 2-3 hours now srsly about to give up
Season 2 update - this has been one of my hardest ever seasons in FM (you'll find out why in my review - in all good book stores from later today ).
It's been a hell of a slog but fortunately for me, the teams around me dropped a lot of points the last few games and I've secured a play-off place with one game to go.
If I lose in in the play-offs, I'll be utterly, utterly devastated!
Welsh Wizard, excellent update. I hope I can do that good with my Colwyn Bay save.
Just lost 4-3 to BSN side Barrow in the FA Cup 4th Qualifying round. Not sure it's possible for me to be more gutted right now.
Started at Oxford City, Predicted 22nd, decent wage budget, fairly small squad and no assistant.
Pretty much on the bones here, and the only way is up!
Ok, I've taken the plunge.
In every FM ever, I've been dedicated to the following saves: Spurs x3(1 for each patch), 1 in La Liga, 1 or 2 in Serie A, Lyon, Bayern, Ajax and then a.n.other from a random but decent level league (ie Boca or CSKA). I have never managed at a low level. I am scared. I could be very out of my depth. I mean where are all my coaches and scouts and physios?
Anyway its time to be a bit of daredevil, I think I'm going to enjoy the challenge.
This is me, Matt Murdock, new manager of Sutton Utd, The U's in BSS. Sutton is a nice fit, owing to my Surrey roots.
The media have predicted a 15th place finish, I've told the chairman that I'll get us a safe mid table position, for this I'll get (unsurprisingly) £0 transfer budget and £6.5k pw wage budget, with the club already spending £5.4k pw.
We actually seem to have a little bit of technique about the squad but I'm really not sure whats good or bad at this level so I could be wrong.
Thinking it may take me 2 years to get out of here and build from that.
Anyway. We're off!
Well this all seems a bit surreal!!!!!
10 games into the new season, our first in League 1
And we are sitting 4th, after a start that is nothing short of sensational
P10 W6 D3 L1 F15 A 5 Pts 21
Hope it can continue, but wont hold my breath
If you've not done LLM before then you should find it fun as it will be different from the other saves you've played. I think I prefer starting at a lower level now than starting with Spurs who I support.
FC United of Manchester: 2013/14 Season Summary
Media Prediction: 9th
Actual Finish: 1st
League Table | League Positions Graph | Team Stats | Player Stats
Squad | Finances |Transfers
Season Best XI | Overall Best XI
There was just one aim for this season, promotion. It was a hard season, we were always there or there abouts, but we rarely reached the top of the table. The only time it really matters though is at the end of the season, and what a thrilling end to the season it turned out to be. One of the closest finishes i have ever seen, let alone been involved in. Coming in to the last game of the season we were three points behind league leaders Alfreton, and level on points with Stafford who were in third.
We knew that if Alfreton were to lose, if we won we would take the league on goal difference, unless Stafford had a massive win in their final game. Due to FC United playing at Gigg Lane, they play their home games on a Sunday, so we knew that it was in our hands as to who would win the league. Stafford won, and Alfreton lost, it was all down to us. Stafford were up to first position for the time being, all we neded was to win.
We were up against Altrincham, who had had everything to play for as they were chasing a playoff position. One of last seasons best performance for us was against Altrincham in the Playoff Semi Final as we beat them 5-0 at their ground. I was hoping something like that would happen again. And wow, what a performance, everything seemed to just go well once again! Borini got us off to a good start as we took the lead after 22 minutes, we were pegged back just three minutes later though as Altrincham levelled.
Thats' when we really started playing though. 2 minutes in to injury time in the first half James Collins put us back in to the lead after a fantastic assist from Carole. After half time, two own goals from Altrincham helped us build up a lead of three goals, and finally, with almost the last kick of the game, Philip Roberts made it 5-1, and that is how it finished. What a fantastic result. We had won the league! Everyone was delighted, the fans, the board, FC United favourite Karl Marginson, the fans again, the board again and Karl Marginson again! It was a new record high position again for the team, and that record will be broken again next season.
Top Scorer and Player of the Season
Fabio Borini
Another fantastic season for Borini, in fact quite a bit better than last season! He shot his way in to the record books on just the 9th of February, becoming the clubs top goalscorer of all time for a single season. A couple of weeks later he broke another record, after claiming his 8th man of the match of the season, breaking last seasons record held by Philip Roberts, who got 7. He finished top goalscorer in the league, with 29 league goals, and 35 from 45 games in all competitions.
Signing of the Season
Richie Baker
After playing in League 2 for seven seasons, i thought Richie would be a great signing, and one that would be able to add to the experience in the midfield alongside Chris Herd. He had a great season, with an average rating of 7.03, scoring 2 goals and providing 10 assists for the team over the course of the season, claiming the man of the match award three times.
Next Season Aims..

Wriches, the width and retain possession works with my formation. Just got me 3 points lad, cheers
Nikola Saric is injured AGAIN! Bloody hell... in 2014 he missed a total of 7 months with 3 different injuries, now this season he has had broken ribs and a thigh strain, and i'm only 2 games in!
Is anyone else getting an error whereby when playing at home commentary and comments in the media name your ground as whoever the away teams ground is, and when i play away in the post match summary refer to the game as having been played at my home ground (Victora Park) in my case. 'Cos it's happening constantly to me. Managers keep referring the "dangerous pitch" (condition is very poor at my place) at my place but always the stadium name is the away teams. Annoying me tbh.
Example attached: I played this game away at Dagenham and Redbridge saying a scout was spotted at my ground during the match...but I PLAYED IT AWAY!!! Grrr
Next example is the Wycombe manager commenting on the playing surface for the match - I'm at home...but yet again its mentioned in the article as being at their home ground, Adams Park in this case.
For my Gooner friends in this thread...
I'm quite enjoying my current save at the moment, but once I'm done with it, I'll start this challenge as I do every year!
Beat local "rivals" Oxford United 3-2, having hoovered up a lot of released youth players from England, and giving them a second chance. Works well, some ask for stupidly low wages.
Bloody hell, just went out of the JPT 3-4 to L1 Rotherham. Borini completing his hattrick in the 92nd minute, gutted.
Hate him already.
Oh my God! I just realised something... I read the rules just for a recap, and nowhere does it say I can't do a player search to find the players I need... I've not done this yet as I thought it was against the challenge rules! DAMN IT!!
Just finished my 1st season at Tonbridge Angels review is coming but here is how the league finished
What is this craziness?
Media predict 15th, board want mid table, bookies have us as 2nd favourites for promotion!
HT in Moscow. 2nd leg of the Europa League first round. Currently 2-1 up against CSKA. Borini and Chopra scoring.
Humph! I go out and sign some quality young players, but now they get called up to their international Under 19 squads. Missing 4 players for the next match!
Ok I decided to start this now (after going 11 games without a win and conceding 40 goals on my other save).
Quick question. Will I be invited to the trialist matches? Are they of any value?
Ok so it was 2 questions.
Okay I have the players file in the place stated but it isnt turning up in my game. What do i do?
Tonbridge Angels- Blue Square South- Season 2011/12
We were predicted to go down this season but I was confident that we could be comfortable in mid-table and at a push challenge for a play-off spot

After a great season in the league and a brilliant performance in the semi-final I was gutted we lost in the play-off final especially after the game was at our home ground and we managed to come from 2 down to equalise but in the end my players we knackered and they pounced.
Transfers 1
Transfers 2
A crzay season in terms of transfers lot's of young players came in with some deadwood being released the main problem with the squad was fatigue I will be looking to work on the player's fitness. A new goalkeeper and some wingers will be my top priority next season.
F.A Cup- Not much happened here really disappointed that we went out so early.
FA Trophy- We should have gone further in this cup losing at home to lower opposition.
Key players:
Callum Ball- Released from Derby a really talented striker.
Tyler Sheppard- Didn't make the grade at Yeovil but formed a great partnership with Ball. Unfortunately he got injured before the play-off final if he had played we may have won.
Cheick Toure- Brilliant season for the former Fulham man. Always seem to be in the right place at the right time for set-pieces managing to chip in with some important goals whilst being solid at the back.
Tony Diagne- Released from Nottingham Forest. Formed a solid partnership in the middle of defence with Toure.

Great season Roganp, unlucky there in the final dude, happens to the best of us.
Callum Ball looks quality by the way, good signing that.
Good luck for next season.
Has anyone else suffered from this problem?
And if you have, how did you fix it
My Star Striker seems to be a total wuss
He played really well when i first got him and his morale was superb, but now before every game, and i mean every game the opposition manager says how great he is and that they will have to stop him
His morale plummets to Very Poor and i now cant get a performance out of him for love nor money
I have tried softly softly and taken the pressure off, and i have tried giving him the hair dryer nothing makes a difference
I am getting to the point where even though he is far and away my best forward, i am just going to have to cut my losses and drop him
any help appreciated
about 11 of my players just left on free transfers as i forgot to renew them! :'( fml! byee bagshaw and montano :'(
Pventress - I've had this exact same problem. Let me ask you a question - what have you set your expectations at for the season? Depending on that I might have a theory for you that seemed to add up for me....let me know
Am I allowed to Select my favourite club? I can't see anything about that and I assume it makes little difference?
Only just played my 1st friendly(competitive one, not counting beating my ressies) and I'm hooked.
I know Burton aren't miles above us, and that it was a friendly but I was very impressed with the performance, we dominated them, this was no lucky counter attack victory.
Chris Fagan is an ex Man U youth and it shows, could be key to my season.
And Ibrahim Farah, released by Cardiff was my first signing and he too looks a class above.
As I say I'm enjoying this, even though I'm struggling to find an assman and a physio and part time contracts and training are a completely new thing to me!
BO SELECTA! Just drew Farnborough in the FA Cup second round! A struggling BSS team who are in 19th place, against my Colwyn Bay side who are top of the BSN. Bring on the big money third round draw!
Yikes, this thread has been jumping today. If I missed your question/update, my apoligies in advance!
edgar555: I'd always trust the bookies over the media. At least the bookies have money on the line so they have to be more accurate. Although.. the bookies still have us as the underdog in every game we play, so they must be losing quite a bit of money on me :P

That's quite the mouthful. I'm DMing a D&D 4E game where the players desire to build an empire and trap heroes and more-or-less be the villains that D&D heroes normally are fighting against. In the early game they are collecting magic artifacts, clearing dungeons in search of a 'home base' and performing petty crimes.
By the time they reach the Paragon Tier, they hope to be running bandit gangs, brothels, be torturing people in their dungeons and such.
What I have been searching for, and am coming up blank for, is an existing rule-set for running a mafia crime business. Examples I have found thus far focus on being the underlings in the families, not the kingpins.
In a pinch, I can make do with a business simulation PnP game, but I am having trouble finding one of those either.
So, What existing mafia/crime centered RPG system contains rules for running a crime syndicate, or mob family that would be easily grafted onto D&D 4E?

Unanswered: How To Render a Ext.FormPanel inside a Ext.Window when All belongs to Ext.ViewPort
How To Render a Ext.FormPanel inside a Ext.Window when All belongs to Ext.ViewPortHi Everyone,
I have a extended Ext.Panel, with layout='card'. Inside this panel I have two inner Ext.FormPanels: one to diplay data (vPanel) and one for edit data (ePanel). It works just fine, vPanel has a "Edit" button which shows ePanel when clicked and hide vPanel. Everything is inside a Ext.ViewPort element and works.
My question is: I would like to disable the whole background when ePanel is active, so pretty much a popup window with a dimmed background, but I don't want window's elements on it, like close button, floating/movable whatever ... just a panel with dimmed/disable background.
Once I'm quite new to javascript and ExtJS I need advice here.
I have already seen that a window with modal=true might work. But will it accomplish all my requirements? when adding it as an item inside the Ext.ViewPort how should I trigger the show method? (some code sketch might be helpfull as well).
Thanks in advance and kind regards.

Well ... not too sure if that will help.
Look, I have a lot of elements in the page and I don't want to move my panel from position, but just want to disable/mask all other components when and only when ePanel is active.
If floating with modal works I still need to get the original position to make the panel looks like absolute, right?
Moreover, is it possible to set floating and modal at runtime inside a button handler? (How?)
10 Oct 2012 10:06 AM #4
One more details.
I've just done a test with floating and modal. Still don't know how to get the original position of my Panel (the position it should have if it was not floating), but it does not work.
Panel is floating but all elements behing are avaible (modal is not working). Moreover, the bottom of my panel is somehow hidden and I can't see buttons from bottom toolbar, but when I "tab" to reach them the panel is fully repainted.
Very strange.
Hope you could help with this issue and thanks for the fast reply.
10 Oct 2012 10:28 AM #5
Sorry ... but I thought you were replying my other issue.
Actually it is the same issue, but now I know a little bit more about ExtJs.
Can you please take a look in this one? Should I close the current one?
10 Oct 2012 4:52 PM #6
Guess I know why now ...
Once Spotlight does use windows dimensions to draw the bounds:
Spotlight.js > applyBounds method:
var dw = Ext.lib.Dom.getViewWidth(true);
var dh = Ext.lib.Dom.getViewHeight(true);
And at the moment I'm calling Spotlight.show() in my parentPanel my window is still not resized with new ePanel I'm getting this error (I guess).
Any hints of how to proceed to get the new size of the window before drawing the spot will be very welcome! :-D

The Orange Show
Upon retiring from the U.S. Postal Service in 1959, Jeff McKissack began to transform an empty lot near his house into a massive monument to his favorite fruit—the orange. McKissack spent 20 years building his tribute to the orange with recycled materials (tractor seats, old pipes, and bricks) and created a complex maze made of walkways, exhibits, decks, and amphitheaters. McKissack passed away months after opening the Orange Show to the public, but the Orange Show Foundation was formed soon after to preserve the site as a testimony to his creativity.
Fun Fact: The Orange Show Foundation produced the first Art Car Parade in 1988, featuring creations from around the world.

I don't know if this is a feature or a bug, but clicking on an active application's launcher icon doesn't minimize it. It is terribly inconvenient for folks using a persistent Unity bar to click minimize button every time. Is there any way to add minimize functionality to the launchers?
For 14.04:
See this answer.
For 13.10 and below:
Because Mark Shuttlewoth decided it, at least for now?:
At least, that bug now has the status opinion which means the developers won't fix it for now, but wait for community discussion.
So if you would like minimize on click too, make a clear statement at launchpad.
For 14.04 & 14.10:
An unsupported capability was added to Unity for Trusty. Unsupported means that Canonical do not guarantee this capability moving forwards towards Unity 8.
However, from a LTS point-of-view this gives those users at least 5 years with just this capability. This is not directly available through the standard GUI.
For a safe way, reach for a terminal and copy & paste the following:
To undo this change:
For an unsafe method, you can use compizconfig-settings-manager :
For 13.10 and below
There is quite a heated debate about this missing feature on launchpad:
In response to the expose mode for multiple windows, this can be easily adapted for with a second click to minimize all windows as there is currently no further function for that extra click in launcher.
If you want to minimize all the application's windows, I do not think there is an easy way currently so this functionality would help in that instance too.
I've made a script to workaround this issue.
You can do this without a script, as Unity has a built-in keyboard shortcut to minimize the window. By default it's now Ctrl + Alt + 0 (Refer to Settings → Keyboard (NOT Keyboard Layout, that's different (and confusing)). Note that this means the NUMERIC KEYPAD zero key, and that the regular zero key will NOT work. Then with
This is just a workaround for the real problem, but there is a keyboard shortcut for minimizing windows, Alt + F9
It only closes the active window though and not all windows of an application.
This one and many other keyboard shortcuts are, however, configurable through the keyboard shortcuts application gnome-keybinding-properties. It is part of the system settings application that can be launched via the logout menu on the far right side of the panel.
I use this, for example, to be able to lock the screen via the pause button on my keyboard.
Clicking on a launcher icon of a running app displays the windows of that app in exposé mode, provided there's more than one window. So either that functionality would have to go in favor of the minimizing, or minimizing by clicking the launcher button would only work if the app does not have more than one window. The latter would be two functionalities for the same action, so I don't think that's gonna happen.
For 12.04 - not 12.04.1 and later
You need a patched version of Unity to provide the functionality you are requesting. One is available called Unity-revamped.
Note: You have to use compizconfiguration setting manager (ccsm) to activate the patched options.
sources: https://launchpad.net/~ikarosdev/+archive/unity-revamped/ , http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-get-dodge-windows-and-minimize.html
Sometimes the ppa is a little behind updates to Unity, but I have experienced no stability problems and I love this package.
Features of Unity Revamped:
I have had no issues using this patched version of Unity, but it is not always updated as fast as the vanilla flavor. For example, currently it provides unity-5.14.0-0ubuntu1, while in the official repository it's unity-5.16.0-0ubuntu1 (as of Sep 13,2012)
I think, this is default behaviour, so there is no need for another scripts or modifications.
For 12.04 - not 12.04.1 and later
There is an experimental patch for 12.04 that enables this behaviour. It is for testing purposes only.
Please read the Web Upd8 article on the subject for more information.
There is now support available for 11.10 in the same PPA.
Excerpt from Package changes file:
Source: Web Upd8
I'm currently complementing my Unity launcher with a gnome-panel, this gives me the minimize behavior I want. It seems absurd, but the space in the top center of the screen is wasted otherwise anyway.
When you login to unity in 11.10, you can simply start gnome-panel (if you installed it via apt-get). I found it difficult to configure that panel initially so I logged out and then into the gnome classic session where I configured it to not expand and removed all the applets until I was left with just a panel with a window list. Then I used Ctrl + Alt + Delete to logout and log back into the Ubuntu/Unity session.
I found that adding the gnome-panel directly to the Startup Applications list caused it to land behind the Unity bar at the top so I added this instead:
Edit: It looks like there are some bugs in the way gnome and unity interact. But making the panel auto-hide seems to work ok.
For 11.10
To change back (Oneiric 11.x): Shutdown button -> System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Navigation -> Hide Normal Windows (instructions for changing the shortcut are at the bottom of the settings window).
Hope this helps someone because it really annoyed me for a while (mainly due to name being changed to "Hide Normal Windows").
For 12.04
This ppa is available for 12.04 and 14.04. Minimize on click works again for most recent versions of unity.
For Ubuntu 14.04 and 15.04
Command line method :
Activate one click minimize :
Disable one click minimize :
GUI method :
Open a terminal and execute :
Open Unity Tweak Tool
Go to Unity > Launcher > Behavior and check : Minimize single window applications on click.
See to minimize the the app you will see an option same like windows 7 but on the left hand side of the screen if your app is maximized the you have to scroll the cursor to the upper left hand corner of the screen and minimize it will minimize on the ubuntu unity launcher

In detail, what causes mutations in regulatory genes?
closed as not a real question by Mad Scientist♦ Aug 17 '12 at 6:50
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
nothing causes mutations in any specific genes. mutations actually occur as the result of random processes and can mutate any given point in the genome. mutations may be found more often in some genes or regions of the genome more often because they have a positive selective force that gives them more staying power in the gene pool over time.
Its better to think of it this way: mutations happen everywhere, but they stay in the gene pool more often if they do something useful. Genes are the active portions of the genome so mutations in genes are more likely to stay around.

| Ben DuBose, Hydrocarbon Processing,
Over 500 industry professionals were registered Wednesday morning, making it the largest crowd in IRPC's three-year history.
By Ben DuBose
Online Editor
VIDEO: See on-site interview with Gulf
Publishing Company CEO John Royall
MILAN, Italy -- The annual International Refining and Petrochemical Conference (IRPC)
opened its doors on Wednesday, bringing record hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI)
attendees to the third edition of the event.
Its going very well, said John Royall, CEO
of Gulf Publishing Company, which organized the conference
alongside Italian host eni.
We launched this event two years ago in Rome [before
moving to Singapore in 2011], Royall added. The
idea was that we would put together the number one technical
forum in the world for professionals in the downstream
This years program
is the best weve ever put together, and with that
weve drawn teams from around the world.
Held at the MiCo Milan Congress, the largest
convention center in Europe, over 500 attendees were
registered by Wednesday morning, making it the largest audience
in IRPC history.
Conference events began with a Tuesday tour of enis nearby Sannazzaro
de Burgondi refinery, where the companys
EST (eni slurry technology) project was
recently completed.
The proprietary EST technology allows for the conversion
of heavy oil residues in fine products, gasoline and gasoil.
The process converts waste oil, heavy crude and tar sands into
high-quality and performance fuels.
That was very, very well received because it is a
groundbreaking technology that creates a lot of
efficiencies and cost-savings for refiners, said
A lot of these refiners around the world found it to
be a very exciting day seeing this new technology put into place by eni.
As a result, roughly 50% of the conferences 2012
technical agenda is focused on heavy oil. Other topics covered
on the first day include hydrogen, environment and safety and energy
In all, over 40 presentations are scheduled at IRPC on
Wednesday and Thursday, while another 40 or more sponsors and
exhibitors have booths set up in an adjacent hall.
Initial details for IRPC 2013, the fourth gathering of the
conference, are expected to be finalized very soon, according
to event organizers.
IRPC 2012 runs through Thursday. For more details, visit

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Nice. So will F# 4.0 focus on presentation?
How about transactions with type providers?
Very nice.
I could use the 'show' and 'freebase' samples for some internal demos coming up next month.

I am not adding anything lehalacha, but the siach yitzchok could agree that the old-time garments were worn on the body. However, now that we wear special garments m'yuchad for tzitzis, it would be a bizayon to the mitzva to wear that on the body. (No source, just my own idea.)
Halacha Berurah (8:33) rules that it's good wear something under the tallit kattan in order to separate it from the body, but me'ikar hadin it's permissable to wear the tallit kattan without another garment underneath.
Reb Shlomo Zalman Aurbach in his HALICHOS SHLOMO (Hilchos Tztzis Perek Gimmel SIF KATAN YUD ALEPH) says it is allowed.
This answers a simple question that if the original takanah of Tzitzis was on clothes (it is only today that we wear a special garment to obligate ourselves), you would not be allowed to put it on regular clothes either as one's clothes absorbs sweat.
שאלה - 68711 לכבוד הרב מוצפי שליט"א:
האם מותר להשים ציצית על הגוף ללא גופיה מתחת?.. תשובה אם יש סיבה לכך, מותר.
Rav Mutzafi says "if there is a reason for it, it is Mutar."
שאלה - 8105 האם מותר לילד ללבוש ציצית על הגוף בלי גופיה מתחת? תשובה אם קשה לו בגופיה _ מותר.
And in another place he writes "if it is hard for him, it is permitted."
שאלה - 8105 האם מותר לילד ללבוש ציצית על הגוף בלי גופיה מתחת? תשובה אם קשה לו בגופיה _ מותר.
For Kabalistic reasons (See the Pri Etz Chaim, Shaar Tzitzit, quoted here), the Ari Z"l would wear his Tallit Katan under all his garments. This seems to indicate that he wore them directly on his skin.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe says that R' Chaim Vital was describing a private practice of the Arizal, but (assuming it is literal) it would appear that the Arizal did not have an issue with wearing the Tallit Katan directly on his skin.
One source. also see this source for more details.
The Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 8:11) says that
The Siach Yitchok in Siman Ches says it is Assur because it is an embarrassment to the Mitzvah that its being used as a sweat absorber.

What Are the Signs of Red Birthmarks?
Signs of red birthmarks include:
- Skin markings that develop before or shortly after birth
- Skin markings that resemble blood vessels
How Are Red Birthmarks Diagnosed?
In most cases, a health professional can diagnose a red birthmark based on the appearance of the skin. Deeper birthmarks can be confirmed with tests such as MRI, ultrasound, CT scans, or biopsies.
What Is the Treatment for Hemangiomas and Red Birthmarks?
Many capillary birthmarks such as salmon patches and strawberry hemangiomas are temporary and require no treatment. For permanent lesions, concealing cosmetics may be helpful. Oral corticosteroids can reduce the size of a hemangioma that is growing rapidly and obstructing vision or vital structures.
A new and very promising treatment for serious hemangiomas is propranalol, a drug usually used for the treatment of high blood pressure.
Port wine stains on the face can be treated at a young age with a pulsed dye laser for best results.
Other treatments for red birthmarks may include:
- Cryotherapy (freezing)
- Laser surgery
- Surgical removal
In some cases, birthmarks are not treated until a child reaches school age. However, hemangiomas are treated earlier if they compromise vital functions like vision or breathing or make the child self-conscious.
Can Hemangiomas and Red Birthmarks Be Prevented?
Currently, there is no known way to prevent hemangiomas or red birthmarks.

Most LME come in 3 pound cans, which is a quite large quantity if you want to add just a little to your wort, just one pound for example. It's a shame to throw away the rest. If I open a LME can and do not want to use the whole amount of lme, can I save the rest for later, even in a refrigerator? After all, it already contains water so it doesn't have the hydration problems of DME, and, furthermore, whatever the time i decide to use it, I will boil it for sanitation first. What do you think?
Yep. Seal it up with some plastic wrap and a rubber band. Or, better, in air-tight tupperware and keep it in the refrigerator. Limit exposure to oxygen and you should be okay.
Taste it before using again to check if it's stale or off.
Foodsaver makes tupperware-type containers with vacuum valves that allow you to suck all the air out of the container. Put your LME in one of these, sucky-thing it, then store it in the fridge for a little while.
No you can't save it. You really can't limit the Oxygen exposure very well and it will eventually stale. Not to mention is somewhat hyrgoscopic so its going to try and absorb moisture from your fridge thereby sucking up odors from your fridge as well.
The best bet is to be using a mix of liquid and dry. Use LME for the bulk of your extract needs until you can't use a full can anymore. Then switch to dry to take you to your desired total extract points.
Alexanders does sell small cans of LME called kickers. I think these are half pound each. You might also want to look for some of those.

I played L4D2 online with people that stop Hunters from getting them almost always. Instead, they get me 7-8 out of 10 times. How can I improve my chances to block hunters?
You can melee a hunter mid-leap to cancel its attack and stun it. It requires some practice on the timing to get it perfect, but it's extremely effective, especially since the hunter is so loud before it pounces. Learn to identify the different sounds each infected make so you know what to prepare for.
After you stun it, you can deal with it however you see fit. If you melee it enough times that will kill it too, and is a satisfying way to taunt hunters who get too close to you.
If you mean a dead stop (melee as he's pouncing), then there is a trick: Hunter's box model (the wire-frame model responsible for hit-testing) is way before his rendered body.
So if you want to dead stop him you should time your melee just before it gets to you.
Whether the melee connects depends also on your ping to the server. Remember, hit-testing takes place on the server and server only on online games.
Also, bot hunters can cheat by clawing you while stunned, so make short work of them with your rifle as they are stunned and don't go in for another melee.
Update: This video demonstrates the difference between the hitbox model and the what-you-see model.
if you hit in exactly right second the hunter will fall back.
Sometimes you can sidestep them if (you see them coming), or just shoot them in midair.
Try jumping and shoving him. It works for me 90% of the time. I've only tried it in Single Player. Not sure if it works for versus though.

New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development has received a four-month, $721,000 grant from the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education to assess newly implemented math and science curricula in Mexico's secondary schools.
The project will be headed by Steinhardt's Pamela Fraser-Abder, an associate professor of science education who has served as a consultant on primary science teacher education for UNESCO and the Commonwealth Secretariat and whose publications include Professional Development of Science Teachers: Local Insights with Lessons for the Global Community.
In 2009, the Mexican government implemented new math and science curricula with the aim of bolstering the country's Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) scores. PISA assesses math, science, and reading literacy, along with problem solving, of 15-year olds in more than 70 countries, including the United States.
Under the grant, researchers at NYU Steinhardt's Department of Teaching and Learning will evaluate the math and science curricula and curricula standards to determine if they have the necessary components to improve PISA scores.
In doing so, they will compare the Mexican curricula with those in the U.S. and leading countries in PISA test results throughout Latin America, Europe, and Asia. The study will also consider student and teacher perspectives on the new curricula informed by a summer institute conducted with over 300 secondary students in New York City.
The Organization of Ibero-American States for Education (OEI), an intergovernmental organization primarily comprised of the Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking nations of America and Europe, aims to advance the fields of education, science, technology, and culture in these countries.

Questions for Evaluating a Summer Camp
In This Article:
Once you've narrowed down your list of possibilities, the real detective work begins. Don't make your decision solely on a glossy brochure, a slick video, or a bubbly camp representative. Check it out for yourself.
Obviously, you can't see an overnight summer camp in action during the winter, but you can find out a lot about the facility and the summer camp activities by asking the right questions of parents whose children have gone there and of the camp director. The Questionnaire for Evaluating Summer Camps will help in your search.
One question to ask is whether the camp you're considering is accredited by the American Camping Association. To earn accreditation, a camp must comply with up to 300 industry standards for health, safety, and program quality. These standards address everything—from the director's background to how foods are prepared and stored. There are additional standards applied to aquatics, horseback riding, travel, and trip programs. At least once every three years, a team of trained ACA representatives observes the camp in session to verify compliance.
Of the approximately 8,500 camps, only about 2,200 have earned ACA accreditation. Those numbers include more resident than day camps. Lack of accreditation does not mean a camp isn't good, but if a camp isn't accredited, it's worth asking why. It might not be as important to you if the camp you are considering is in your community and you can check it out for yourself. If you are sending your child to a resident camp for part of the summer, it's reassuring to know that it meets certain standards.
Staff Qualifications
Key to your child's safety at camp are the qualifications and experience of the staff.
The Director
Find out the camp director's educational and career background. ACA suggests he or she have earned at least a bachelor's degree, have completed in-service training within the last three years, and have at least 16 weeks of camp administrative experience.
Ask the average age of the counselors and what certification and experience they have. Many camps hire high school and college students. ACA recommends that at least 80 percent of the program counselors be 18 or older. Any counselor under 18 should be at least two years older than the camper she is supervising.
Watch Out!
It's especially important to find out the qualifications of staff in charge of high-risk areas—the lifeguards, horseback riding instructors, and athletic coaches, for example. They should have specific training in their specialties and be well-versed in appropriate safety measures.
Find out what percentage are returning counselors from past years. Some staff turnover is natural, but the ACA reports that at most camps, between 40 and 60 percent of the staff return each year. If the rate is lower, ask why.
Inquire about the camp's procedure for background checks as well as the training and supervision the counselors receive. Camp policies to protect children from physical or sexual abuse generally dictate that counselors work in pairs.
Staff-to-Camper Ratios
Ask about the ratio of counselors to campers. It should be based on the ages of the campers and their special needs. (Campers with disabilities, for example, need more staff.)
Here are the ACA recommendations for resident camps:
- One staffer for every six campers ages 6 to 8.
- One staffer for every eight campers ages 9 to 14.
- One staffer for every 10 campers ages 15 to 18.
For day campers the recommendations are:
- One staffer for every eight campers ages 6 to 8.
- One staffer for every 10 campers ages 9 to 14.
- One staffer for every 12 campers ages 15 to 18.

I've just started working on web services using JAXB to unmarshall the incoming SOAP documents to our domain classes. I've run into a technical challenge, which is dictated by the OIO XML format used within danish govermental institutions. The format states among other things, that it is not allowed to use the xml schema attribute nillable for an xml element declation. I thus have to find another solution to my challenge.
Description We have a few numbers and dates which could be send by a webservice client to update the application. Those numbers and dates are mapped to POJO fields of equivalent types. The challenge is how to reset the value of such a POJO field, by constructing and sending correct XML.
Sending 12:31:34T01-01-2010..... will update the POJO field to the specified value.
I can however not reset the field by sending as it's not allowed for datetime elements.
I can also not send as it is not allowed by OIO XML standard.
I therefore as a grim workaround plan to send as it should not be disallowed by the OIO XML standard.
This how leads a challenge, that if a startTime element contains a delete="true" attribute, then should the corresponding POJO field be set to null; if a does not have a delete attribute, then transfer the valid element value to the POJO field.
The @XMLElement annotation only allows me to map the startTime value, e.g.
class MyClass{
private Date startTime;
How can I force the delete attribute to also affect the value of the MyClass.startTime field?
Best regards, Jesper

Suppose we have $n-1$ linearly independent vectors $a_1, \ldots,a_{n-1} \in \mathbb{Z^n}$. Is it possible to find another vector $a_n\in \mathbb{Z^n}$ such that the determinant of the matrix $M$ whose row vectors are $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ is 1?
Let $\rm M_k$ be the matrix formed by cutting out the $\rm k$th column of the $\rm a_i$ row vectors and putting them together. Then the condition that $\rm \det M=1$ imposed on $\rm \vec{v}=a_n$ is equivalent to
$$\rm (\det M_1)\,v_1-(\det M_2)\,v_2+\cdots\pm (\det M_n)\,v_n=1.$$
By Bezout's lemma, this has a solution in $\rm \vec{v}$ if and only if $\rm \gcd(\det M_1,\cdots,\det M_n)=1$.
This is not always the case. Take e.g. in $\rm n=3$, with $\rm v,w\ne0$ and $\rm u\ne0,\pm1$,
$$\rm a_1^T=\begin{pmatrix}u \\ 0 \\ \rm v\end{pmatrix} \quad and \quad a_2^T=\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ \rm u \\ \rm w \end{pmatrix}$$
where we have $\rm \gcd(\det M_1, \det M_2,\det M_3)=\gcd(-uv,uw,u^2)\ne 1$. More generally, for arbitrary $\rm n$ following you's suggestion, let $\rm a_i=x_i\,\vec{e}_i$ with $\rm \gcd(x_1,\cdots,x_n)\ne1$. The resulting matrix will be diagonal, so its determinant is the product of the diagonal entries, which must be $>1$ in magnitude if any of the $\rm x_i$ are.
Hint $a_1=(2,2,2,..., 2)$.

Houston Landmarks
6 of 10
The Astrodome
The Astrodome, the first domed sports stadium, was conceived as an escape from the subtropical weather that plagued Houston's sports enthusiasts. The complex is 18 stories tall and was originally designed to accommodate both baseball and football games. Today, the Astrodome does not host any major sports teams and has been overshadowed by its also domed neighbor, Reliant Stadium.
Fun Fact: The Astrodome housed about 25,000 Hurricane Katrina refugees from Aug. to Sept. 2005.

This is a spoof on the election. Come see students hurl pumpkins painted as political candidates. How far will they fly? Which direction will they go - left, right or middle of the road?
Students from Randleman and Concord high schools are painting the political faces on pie pumpkins. Students from the physics class at Concord High School will hurl the pumpkin heads from their trebuchet, a modern version of a Medivial artillery piece.
The event is held on the grassy field behind Cox's Harley-Davidson. Come at your own risk. Bring your chair and a camera. Feel free to post your photos and videos online.
This event is only held every four years. Historically, it has been held in Statesville. In 2004, we had an 80% prediction accuracy. In 2008, it poured. We attributed our pumpkins' failures to the dampening of the economy and the hanging chads.
So come out on your lunch break. Have a little fun.

Twice in the past few hours, I've seen the idiom "don't give it the time of day". Now, I immediately knew and understood what the people using the phrase meant, but then I realized that I didn't know why that phrase means what it means. I Googled the phrase "time of day idiom" because I was particularly interested in the origin/etymology of the "time of day" part. I readily found the meaning (which I already knew), but was stymied as to its origin (which is what I wanted). Thus, I ask: what is the origin/etymology of the idiom?

An answer at answers.com quotes American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms to the effect that to not give someone the time of day means
By contrast, an answer at tywkiwdbi.blogspot.com says:
If tywkiwdbi and Scribal Terror are right, then the expression is rather older than the AHD Dictionary of Idioms said.
Edit: The BBC Learning English presentation "Not give someone the time of day" says:
As an example of the phrase used in Shakespeare's time, consider King Henry VI, part II, Act III, scene I, as Queen Margaret speaks:
Edit 2: Another example from Shakespeare (as pointed out by ΜετάEd's reference) is from King Richard III, Act I, scene III, when Buckingham says "Good time of day unto your royal grace!". Note, Shakespeare is believed to have written both plays about 1591; he might or might not have put 16th-century speech into the mouths of 15th-century people. Henry VI was King of England and/or France at various times between 1422 and 1471, and Richard III from 1483 until his demise in 1485.
The phrase supposes that the smallest favour you can do for somebody is telling them what time it is when they ask.
So not giving them the time of day amounts to ignoring their tiny request, and by implication ignoring them.
In your example this has extended to ignoring some thing.

I've installed conky using
sudo apt-get install conky-all and followed this tutorial to configure. The configuration works properly in Unity desktop in Ubuntu 12.04 and everything seems OK, However using Gnome 3 nothing appears on the desktop.
I have used following command to invoke conky at startup
sh -c "sleep 20s; conky -c ~/.conkyrc".
Please suggest what additional steps need to be taken in order to make it work in Gnome shell Ubuntu 12.04.
Here is the .conkyrc file.
