I have an external Hard disk with 500 GB capacity. I have data filling almost 300 GB. I want to install Ubuntu into it. I have downloaded the iso and have written it to a USB drive as a bootable device. My laptop runs on Windows 7. What is the way to install Ubuntu in my external HDD. I have yet to do any partitioning. I would not like to lose the data.
Installing Ubuntu to the external hard drive is the same process as installing it to an internal hard drive. The same care must be taken, in that you need to ensure you have selected the correct drive partitions to install Ubuntu to. If you have not already done so, I would strongly recommend using the Windows 7 partitioning tools to resize the existing partition on the external drive to make space for Ubuntu. You can do this using the LiveCD, but NTFS support is not 100% foolproof in Linux so you may suffer data loss if you do it this way.
As for Grub, you really should install that to the external hard drive as well. When the computer boots, Grub will look for its files on the external hard drive. Without these files the system cannot boot. If you leave the external hard drive connected every time you boot then that won't be a problem. But having Grub on your external hard drive is preferred. Just ensure that your computer looks to boot from USB before any internal hard drives. Then, when you have your external drive connected Grub will be loaded first and will actually have a menu entry for Windows 7 if you want to boot from that. In addition, you can use the Ubuntu on this hard drive when connected to any computer which boots from USB first.
For running Ubuntu/Linux off an external hard drive connected via USB the process is actually quite simple to do. Here are the steps, or rather, the steps I took.
Please Note: The following steps were tested using Ubuntu Version 9.10, but has not been tested with the later versions. Use at your own risk & discretion.
What You Will Need
What To Do
We have an excellent guide & video on installing ubuntu to an external hard drive or usb device.
How To Install Ubuntu To A Usb Drive
We recommend using a live CD/DVD and unplugging any other USB drives as this makes life easier. We will assume that you are using an unpartitioned Usb drive and CD/DVD for this guide.
Insert the Ubuntu live CD/DVD, switch on the computer, and tell it to boot from CD/DVD using your 'Bios'.
It will take a couple of minutes to load and you will be presented with two choices. 'Try Ubuntu' or 'Install Ubuntu', you should select 'Install Ubuntu'
You will then be presented with a number of options.
You need to select the bottom option 'Something Else'
This will bring you to the partitioning menu.
Your Primary hard drive will be listed as 'Sda' followed by any partitions that are on it like Sda1 or Sda2.
Below this will be your usb drive, it will be listed as 'Sdb'.
Click on 'Sdb1' which is the only partition on the drive and select 'change'.
You need to select 'use this partition as Ext4 File System'
(some distributions such as Mint reqiure you to manually select 'format' at this point)
Then you need to set the 'mount point' as '/' which is the root file system and click ok. You will be taken back to the previous menu and that partition will have a tick next to it.
Now click on 'Sdb' just above that partition, this selects it as the device to install to.
Now just below is an option for where the bootloader is to be installed.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you CHANGE THIS OPTION.
THE BOOTLOADER MUST BE INSTALLED TO YOUR DEVICE listed as '/dev/Sdb'
If you do not do this the bootloader will be installed to your internal drive.
You are now ready to install to your external device, simply click 'Install'
You will need to answer a few simple questions like 'name' and 'create password', then you can sit back and relax.
Additional Information
You will need to tell your bios to boot from the Usb device each time you want to use it.
You can easily set USB as your first boot device in the bios, and your normal system will load if the device is not connected.
Do not be surprised if your Usb installation takes 3 or 4 minutes to fully boot, especially when using a cheap Usb memory stick.
If you choose to install from a usb drive instead of CD/DVD, or you have multiple hard drives and Usb drives connected you need to make sure you are installing to the correct device, as it may not be sdb.
The easiest way to ensure that you are installing to the correct device is to use disk utility.
Open disk utility before connecting the device and note the devices on the left.
Then connect your device and it should appear at the bottom of the list.
Click on that device and look at the top right of the window for 'Device'.
It will say something like 'Device : dev/sdc' and so 'sdc' would be the device you need to install to.**
You just have to select the right device during the installation of Ubuntu. An external Hard Disk Drive works like a 'normal' internal HDD.

Gemstones and jewellery: a Cape Town shopper's guide
If diamonds are a girl's best friend, then gold is her bosom buddy and platinum her soulmate. These are the lasting relationships that await the jewellery lover in Cape Town.
South Africa is known for its mineral wealth, and Cape Town is a top shopping destination for things that sparkle and shine. A visit to Jewel Africa, Destinee Jewellers, Shimansky or Diamondworks provides not only a fascinating window on the process of jewel selection, cutting and setting, but you can also enjoy an interactive tour about the processes that uncover rare gems for jewellery production. Either way, these gem houses are great resources for cut diamonds and other fabulous sparklies.
If you want a slice of local design by which to remember our beautiful city, you can either make an appointment to have your bespoke creation brought to life, or you can buy a ready-to-wear piece from one of Cape Town's top jewellers. Try family-owned Uwe Koetter Jewellers, Mark Solomon, Olga Jewellery Design Studio or Chenshia for guaranteed, quality workmanship and discreet, secure service.
Of course, safety is always a concern for a jewellery shopper, so be sure to take a reputable guide with you and make special arrangements with your hotel for the safekeeping of your purchases. If you are a super-league shopper, private security guards can be arranged through the gem house or jeweller.
When buying diamonds, it is important to insist on a certificate – preferably from the Jewellery Council of South Africa (JCSA) or European Gemological Laboratory (EGL). Another thing to bear in mind is the tax implications for your little treasures, as both stones and set jewellery attract 14% Value Added Tax. You will be able to claim this back at the airport upon your departure, less exchange-rate commissions.
Happy shopping – and may you find your perfect gems and be inspired by the beauty of design, mirroring the beautiful city that is Cape Town.

'Twilight' and the Gods
Why is it that, in our secular modern age, it seems that we just can't get enough of the occult and supernatural? Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series, featuring the love lives of vampires in, of all places, Forks, Wash., has shifted over 116 million copies worldwide; Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code," replete with secret religious societies, bloody pentacles and arcane ritual, has been outsold only by the exploits of a certain boy wizard.
Victoria Nelson's spirited examination of the role of pulp Gothic fiction in contemporary culture begins with the familiar argument that the Gothic genre arose as a subversive counterpoint to the bleakness of the Enlightenment. In Protestant societies at least, our sense of the transcendent, once it had been exiled from daily life by all that rationalism, was relegated to the realm of the imaginative grotesque. Enter the Gothic novel, with its guilty nostalgia for the past, its fetishized Catholic medievalism—the ruined castle, the tapestried chamber, the sealed convent—and thrilling dose of supernatural terror. It laid the foundations for a long tradition of popular fiction that stretches all the way from Horace Walpole's "The Castle of Otranto" (1764) through Edgar Allan Poe's tales to Ms. Meyer's urban vampires.
By Victoria Nelson
Harvard, 333 pages, $27.95
So far, so uncontentious. But Victoria Nelson expands on this thesis to suggest that the Gothic has, in the 21st century, taken a "surprising new turn toward the light," not only "showing signs of outgrowing the dark supernaturalism it inherited from its eighteenth-century ancestor," but doing so in a way that promises to shift it from being the locus of a displaced spiritual sense to the possible harbinger of an actual new faith system. "Is a major new religion born of these fictions looming on the horizon?" Ms. Nelson asks boldly. Precisely what this new religion might be remains unclear, but it would seem to involve a belief in human perfectibility, expressed through the trend of showing ordinary people achieving divine status through transformative relationships with the very creatures—zombies, vampires and werewolves—that would previously have been the object of horror and revulsion.
Ms. Nelson's overview of the origins of the Gothic genre and its later ramification into sub-genres such as the ghost story, vampire tale, esoteric thriller and post-apocalyptic survival narrative is lively and sharp. She is equally at home discussing high and low art, and is at her most persuasive when tracing the literary evolution of specific motifs. She notes that the medieval preoccupation with the image of Death and the Maiden, ubiquitous in the art of the period and in manuscripts such as the late 15th-century "Danse Macabre des Femmes," persists in pulp romance in the figure of the homme fatale, or darkly attractive and sexually dangerous male lover. It is also the underpinning, though artfully concealed, of works such as the Brontës' "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights" (and even, though Ms. Nelson does not mention it, of an apparently much primmer text such as Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice"). Charlotte Brontë's refashioning of Mr. Rochester, from the dark anti-hero into a soulmate who delivers the heroine into "the journey of her true life," anticipates the explicit treatment of this theme in the"Twilight" romances: The demon lover Edward Cullen quite literally offers the heroine the "kiss of death." The twist is that, instead of reforming him, Bella Swan is fated, as Ms. Nelson puts it, "to find her true identity by dying and triumphantly joining him on a transformed dark side." The vampire Bella is an immortal with a shimmering tantric body and superhuman strength. In her radiantly transfigured humanity she comes closer to our traditional ideas of the angelic than the demonic, and taps right into our contemporary tendency to locate the transcendent within ourselves.
Ms. Nelson is right to see the popularity of the "Twilight" series as a reflection of a mass cultural shift away from organized religion, toward an individually mediated spirituality. Yet her wider religious thesis, though she defends it with panache, is not entirely convincing. Are compulsively readable pop novels such as "Twilight" and their movie spin-offs an expression of the zeitgeist? Of course. Do they provide a template for a major new world religion, as opposed to the fan cults they have already inspired? Highly unlikely. The great religions were generally not products of a zeitgeist but of charismatically persuasive individuals with an idée fixe that often ran quite counter to their times—and these were not the sort of individuals routinely content to sublimate their visions in the essentially private and relatively harmless act of writing stories, either.
There is also, inconveniently, a fundamental and crucial difference between the ontological claims made by fiction and those made by the core texts of religious movements. Christianity asserts that its scriptures are divinely inspired, but no one doubts for a second that the "Twilight" series has a purely human origin. The suspension of disbelief involved in engaging with the world of a novel is simply not the same in kind as the belief required when giving assent to, say, the claims to revealed truth in the New Testament. We go to these texts for very different reasons. As Ms. Nelson herself admits, "Twilight" fans "do not want to worship the vampire goddess Bella Swan. They want to be her."
Even if that desire does suggest, as Ms. Nelson hazards, that "the notion of self-deification is somehow in the metaphysical air," the idea is not nearly as radical as her thesis requires. It's impossible to object to the book's conclusion that the idealizing of the human in 21st-century Gothic "turns the top-down religions of the past on their heads," but there is nothing new in this. A rejection of organized religion and the celebration of the figure of the solitary visionary are themes any early 19th-century reader would instantly recognize: They are the hallmarks of Romanticism, to which the 18th-century Gothic was the precursor. What could be more old-fashioned than an out-and-out belief in man? Books like "Twilight" are in fact steeped in nostalgia. Instead of having suddenly evolved into a radical, forward-looking genre, the anthropocentric Gothic as we know it today has stayed triumphantly true to its roots.

6 Reasons the Irish Aren't So Lucky
Ah "The Luck of the Irish." Has a crueler phrase ever been coined? The sad truth is, the Irish are about as unlucky as a race can be while, you know, still being white.
While we may all be a little Irish on Saint Patrick's day, after this little history lesson you'll be grateful you no longer have to be Irish once your liver has filtered the green food dye out of your system (and if you actually are Irish, well, we're sorry).
#6. The Damned Vikings
Historically the best protection a civilization can have against invasion is to be located on an island. Just look at Japan. Until being occupied by America following World War II (USA! USA!) it had never been successfully invaded (although you could argue the high density of ninjas in the country had something to do with it).
At any rate Ireland is an island, they should have had it made, right?
But what if around the 8th century a civilization living not far from Ireland were to develop a culture based on seafaring warfare, piracy and sporty horned helmets? Oh shit ...
... here come the Vikings.
The Vikings' modus operandi was to attack exclusively from the sea, pillage, rape and burn then sail off while trading hearty high fives and congratulatory butt slaps. In other words Ireland being an island nation, something traditionally of great advantage, ended up being a first-night-sober-after-an-alcoholic-binge sized nightmare.
Today we have a fairly harmless image of Vikings (due to the poor research that goes into Hagar the Horrible) but trust us when we tell you that the real Vikings were grade-A dicks. They were basically the bullies of the middle ages, and like that poor red-headed kid that spent most of middle school stuffed in his locker, the Irish were the Vikings' favorite targets and spent over 200 years being metaphorically swirlied.
#5. The Ginger Problem
Speaking of red hair ...
In the Middle Ages, red hair was thought to mean you were a witch, werewolf or a vampire, so apparently there was a time in history other than our own where the sight of David Caruso would have been considered the ultimate horror. For other stretches in history, red hair was believed to mean one was surely a whore or had a wicked awful temper (later research has shown only around 60% of redheads are angry whores).
And even if you didn't fall victim to the superstitious associations with the world's rarest hair color, you certainly wouldn't enjoy some of the crappier consequences of having low levels of dark pigmentation. Like burning to a blistered, bubbly crisp when spending 15 minutes in the sun. Or ending a day at the beach with ungodly spots all over your face and ears and back and shoulders.
And if Al Gore knows what he's talking about at all, most of the world's redheads should be constructing a vast underground bunker for themselves as we speak, if they know what's good for them.
Of course this would only sort of suck if these creatures, most vulnerable to the rays of our otherwise life-giving sun, weren't also the most sensitive to pain. Seriously. By the way, which country has the world's highest concentration of redheads? Oh right, Ireland. We suppose it has a better ring to it than "God hates Irish people" but as far as appropriate national slogans go, "The luck of the Irish" isn't far behind "The easy and high paying jobs of the Mexicans."
#4. The Damned Tudors
Folks really seem to love the Tudors, the English dynasty that ruled England from 1485 to 1603 and included monarchs like King Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. You seemingly can't swing Anne Boleyn's decapitated head without hitting a new TV show or movie starring either Henry VIII or Elizabeth, most of which focus on what Henry's penis happened to be doing while he was king or how Elizabeth made it in a man's world baby. But what was arguably the Tudor's favorite pastime is almost always overlooked. What was that you ask? Why brutally suppressing Ireland and trying to wipe out Irish culture of course!
Yes, once again Lady Luck had pissed in the Irish's stew. The Tudor line came to power when Henry VII defeated Richard III in the War of the Roses (a war that was a lot longer, more bitter and bloody than it's fruity name implies) and true to form the Irish had supported the losing side. Whoops.
From that point on the Tudors saw Ireland as a possible threat and a geographically vulnerable location. So they spent the next 100-years or so violently beating on the Irish like Moe on Curly.
Elizabeth in particular, contrary to the heroic soft-lit portrayal of her you see in the two "Elizabeth" movies, was one supreme bitch when it came to Irish. While trying to subdue Ireland, Elizabeth ordered the English to use scorched-earth tactics, burning the land and slaughtering man, woman and child. This caused widespead famine and countless thousands died from starvation alone.
She also set up plantations across Ireland populated with Protestant English settlers, the idea being that these would be the seeds from which English Protestantism would spring forth and overtake traditional Irish Catholic culture. What could go wrong with that?

how do you do a screen shot again as i got a really good striker i wanna show off lol
how do you do a screen shot again as i got a really good striker i wanna show off lol
I've tried a lone striker (advanced forward) with support from an AMC and found it pretty good but nothing has compared to having a front two with a poacher having a creative forward in support. That is, for getting the best from a prolific goalscorer.It changes on a season-by-season basis for me. Generally, I'll go for the complete forward in one slot, then the other varies depending on who I've got. Over the past few seasons I've had a advanced forward, a poacher, even a defensive forward at one point. In the Championship, I went for a front 3.. can't remember the exact detaills but there was definitely a poacher in the middle and two hard workers either side of him to get the assists.
I do have one defensive minded formation with a target man and an inside forward in the hole behind him, and that seems to work pretty well too.
I also find that it is best to find a striker who is strong all round (good in the air, to feet, to run on to through balls etc.) and then to play with width and variation in the play to give him as many routes to goal as possible.
That's my own personal findings though. That's why I was quite interested to find out what other people think is the best tactical set-up for their striker.
Just realised that I hadn't posted my last two seasons up with Michel Vermeer.
See the opening post for the rest of his time with my club.
this is my main striker from my aberdeen game, considering he only cost £100k when i bought him i think it was money well spent, prob my best ever signing in an FM game, he is the clubs all time leading scorer, a legend, has won every scottish player award, young player of the year, player of the year, football writers player of the year and players player of the year, top scorer in scotland 5 times and champs cup golden boot.
That's really good form and a top player, especially for the SPL. That said, the most impressive thing to me is that he came through at Carlisle! Well, not most impressive, you know what I mean
This is my most prolific striker and best regen ever. I think he can reach 1,000 career goals comfortably - would be easier if he actually played internationals for Japan. If you factor in 100-150 international caps I'm sure he could get close to 200 goals (playing in weak Asian groups, wouldn't be surprised if he gets more).
When he qualified for English citizenship I immediately applied for and got the English job at the next opportunity...but found I couldn't call him up and so I resigned! Shortest term ever...was manager for a day or so. I play him as a poacher next to a TM(Support) but I'm going to try Advanced Forward next season. His scoring record in the last three seasons was upwards of 1.5 goals per game.
When he first came I couldn't get a WP for him (the selectors must have been blind) so he played a half-season less than otherwise. Offered him a new contract in Jan and managed to get him into the team.
He routinely breaks all kinds of records (already Liverpool's highest ever scoring player at 24, pushed Messi off the Golden Ball awards before Messi's stats started dropping.)
Have you edited him at all? His key striker stats seem almost too good to be true: finishing, technique, heading, creativity, determination, off the ball, balance and agility all 20?!! Also I've never seen a newgen with 20/20 for acceleration and pace.
Last edited by dave byrd; 05-05-2011 at 15:16.
I've never seen anything quite like it either!
Then again, the player is one footed and very poor in the air.
I notice that he also has very poor defensive attributes (tackling, marking, concentration). Maybe just a very good training schedule then with no defensive training and everything put into physical, tactical, ball control and shooting training?
Still seems quite extraordinary. I don't think I've ever seen a player with such high technical attributes and physical attributes. There is nobody anywhere near that good in key areas in my current saves anyway.
i dont think i have ever seen a regen as good as that!!!
There's one in the OTF FM thread with about twice as many 20s as that.
I suspect a bug (which is entirely possible) or foul play.
Nah, couldn't find it. FM OTF thread is far too big.
Found him.
Unreal, like most newgens.
that surely must be an edited player, never in all my time of playing FM have i seen anything close to that:confused:
Normally with a player like that Ackter, I would pick a fault like "Yeah, he is all well and good, but he can't throw - so I wouldn't buy him!"
I can't even do that, he doesn't have a weakness. Curse you!
He's not mine ffs.
I barely have players with 3 20s in my team, despite them being world class "leading Prem" players.
I'd sell him if he turns 24 and his NF doesn't get to be at least 11. Just my rules.
There are the best players I've had overall:
I know for a fact that Little Willie there has 197 PA and his coach report says he's maxed out so I can't see how a player like the Preston and Japanese ones can exist.
He fits in under the CA cap mostly because of how extremely one-footed he is (two-footedness takes up a lot of CA I believe) and how crap his jumping is I think. He scores nearly every goal with his right foot.
Also, on his defensive attributes, he used to have 12 tackling at 17 years old and actually managed to score a few goals tackling CBs dwelling on the ball. Over the years on my striker training his tackling and to a lesser extent concentration and marking have come down. Not sure if that's a good thing because presumably these stats take up less CA for strikers than defenders and it's actually quite useful to have sometimes.
Nice regens Ackter!!
Im guessing Willie is your son in the game? If so i would be a proud father!! hahaha
Though he's second favourite 'cause Tunnicliffe is just insane.
i would have said willie was the better player overall! thats some amazing stats for a defensive mid!
Only at the start of my fourth season with Toronto FC (MLS) but he's been my best player hands-down:
Last season was the best I've ever had for an individual player:
Basic 4-4-2 formation with the strikers swapping position during the game (one is set to full attacking mentality, the other is normal):
Signed on a free at the start of the game and have never had any serious interest in him from another team...possibly because I've slapped a $20million pricetag on him until he's elligible to play for Canada.
RUTGER SIMONS = Best i have seen
The only guy i can remember being close to this is SANDRO, played for Real Madrid. Quite a few FM's ago, might have been in championship manager days actually.
Has to be Steve for me.
My striker Felipe has just scored his 1000th career goal since i signed him. Will do a full update at the end of the season
Congratulations Dave Byrd. Extraordinary achievement.
First time ive tried to post a screen shot so bare with me but his career stats have been too good to not try to post, paid alot to get him, as i had never seen such a good english striker for ages and tottenham were being a pain, but think the gamble paid off

Used 4-4-2 with him as a poacher for most of his career, although i have reverted to 4-3-3 with him in a the centre of a three pronged attack also as a poacher, his one footedness has also hindered him a bit missing a few chances earlier in his career, although i trained him to not use his weaker foot which seems to have helped.
not had anyone score as many as him since the days of having Gareth Taylor, Nicky Forster and Alan Shearer for Sunderland in whatever cm that was (yes i know he would never have signed for sunderland which made it all the more sweeter to see him score 100 in a season )

Radamel Falcao for Marseille in my FM 2008 save. Scored about 312 goals in 14 years at the club. No screenshots though as I have deleted the game. I didn't play FM 2009 and FM 2010 because of that save.
It would involve me taking my old computer to be fixed to get screenies of FM08's Denis Bacaicoa, the Spainard who regulary got me 70 goals a season, and lead me to a double treble and a quadruple. Yet he amassed only 4 caps for Spain and a total of 7 goals.
Tunnicliffe (posted further up) is on 52 goals so far this season.
It's still November.
Nice. How many career goals is that for you now?
Just finished the 2030/31 season with my Oxford side on FM2010. Due to a torn hamstring that sidelined him for 3 months, 35 year old Felipe only managed 38 appearances but still hit 32 in the Prem and 46 in all comps for the season and finally broke the 1000 barrier for career goals scored since I signed him.
Felipes record under me now stands at:
699 club games / 888 club goals (455 league games / 560 league goals)
161 International games / 117 International goals
Grand total since i signed him, including internationals:
860 games / 1005 goals
With his stats as they are currently, I still think he has at least another 2 seasons at the top level left in him. His physicals are decent and 13/13 for strength/stamina should keep him ticking along nicely.

Sweet jesus! What formation do you play to get him to do that?
At that rate he may score as many as Felipe
Lone poacher in a 433.
That's exactly the same as Tunnicliffe with me this season, except all starts instead of subs.
28 goals in 12 appearances is absolutely insane
How do you guys play your strikers in nearly every game of the season? Don't they get tired?
70 goals in 37 games for Dave Byrd's Felipe? That's a bit outlandish.
It's sad that most of you post those "all 20s" newgens. And at such a young age....
Am I the only one who find those broken?
My best striker in FM 2011 so far
Not posting a screenshot because I forgot how to do it, but by current striker is a Brazilian regen who has 180 in 192(10) game for my Liverpool side. He has an average rating of 7.65, has made 49 assists and has been MoM 51 times. I'm in love with him.
Not the most prolific in this thread either, please see post 50 on the first page or this guy: http://community.sigames.com/showthr...=1#post5407396 if you want to see outlandish!

on my reading save i bought solomon rondon for 2.5mil from malaga, played him as a lone striker (poacher) and he pretty much got me into the top 4, then he started wanting ridiculous amounts of money so i had to sell him for 6mil, where he flopped .
Might as well post mine:
I play him as a lone poacher in a narrow 4-2-3-1 formation
Tunnicliffe's latest season:
League: 86 in 38
Cup: 14 in 6
Continental: 33 in 15
Total: 133 in 59 - no free kicks, 1 pen
Last edited by dave byrd; 11-05-2011 at 16:06.
Simmons (linked above, the Preston guy) is scoring more again, but he takes free kicks and pens so I'm claiming the moral victory.
Have a feeling Simmons stats are so high a) because of footedness and b) because his natural fitness is average and most importantly c) his "striker" attributes aren't actually as godly as the rest of him.
Finishing - 14
Composure - 16
Off The Ball - 16
Acceleration - 15
This probably gives him quite a bit of spare CA to go on other attributes which are weighted so low.
Hulk has been a beast for me!
My greatest ever striker by far
So he played in every league game for 2 years running!
In fact, am i right in saying he played in every game of every competiton in 2019-20?
Out of interest, how come he didn't feature for Brazil?
Last edited by dave byrd; 12-05-2011 at 15:08.
With his goal scoring record he plays in everything and he never seems to get tired.
He cant be picked for them anymore because i withdrew him for a friendly.
Can we see a pic of his profile?
Brazil don't pick him because you withdrew him from a friendly?
Heres the pic
He can't be recalled because its some bug
Stunning record Ciaran, great striker mate
dave byrd it's a big that sometimes nations are unable to pick players again once they've been withdrawn for a friendly. Very annoying.
you can fix the bug if you used FMRTE, not ideal tho.
Is that just FM11? That's a horrible bug!
Awesome player Ciaran.
Just finished the 2031/32 season with my Oxford side on FM2010. With the clock ticking on his amazing career, 36 year old Felipe is now clearly past his best but still scored 44 goals in 46 games for Oxford and 5 goals in 8 games for Brazil.
Felipes record under me now stands at:
745 club games / 932 club goals (486 league games / 585 league goals)
169 International games / 122 International goals
Grand total since i signed him, including internationals:
914 games / 1054 goals
I don't think that 1000 goals for Oxford is on the cards but the next target for Felipe is 1000 career appearances since i signed him (for club and country)...
Last edited by dave byrd; 12-05-2011 at 16:41.
That is ridiculous.
87 in 35? I'm gonna go ahead and presume you're not using exploits with that. How has he done that? Does anyone else score goals on your team?
He takes pens and free kicks.
Tunnicliffe doesnt and is only slightly behind him
143, 27, 16, 14, 13, 12 is the order of my top scorers. Plenty of goals to go around.
4 2 3 1
the 2 are mc's
1 penalty, no free kicks
mine is a guy called Matthias Pohl currently playing his 20th season for me and has:
399 goals in 541 Appearences hes 39 years old and im in march do i keep brining him on in the hope he grabs goal number 400 or leave him short as ive got a 35 year old striker on 386 goals.
Your screen has a weird resolution.
That resolution gives me enough room at the side of the screen to view websites and chats etc without having to minimise FM.
99 international goals in 99 international games. I'm hoping he can break both those milestones in the first game of the upcoming World Cup.
286 league goals in 340 Spurs games.
442 goals in 512 games in all competitions for Spurs.
I daresay that had he been managed by a crouchaldinho, Ackter, Hexhamlad or dave byrd, (and been just a little bit less injury prone) he would be pushing 1,000 by the end of his career. Regardless, he is still the best ever striker and best ever academy product I have ever had on any FM/CM.
The missing stats are Technique (16), Work Rate (14).
first game of the season against newly promoted Villa.
Simons 87 goals in league .................................................. ............

Issue Date:
September, 2012
The September issue of Environment & Climate News reports the North Carolina legislature overrode a veto by Gov. Bev Perdue, making natural gas production through hydraulic fracturing legal in the Tar Heel State.
Also in this issue:
- A reanalysis of U.S. surface temperature station data shows temperatures are rising only half as much as claimed by the U.S. Historical Climatology Network and others in the government responsible for maintaining temperature data.
- An abundance of domestic energy will enable the United States to cut in half its reliance on oil from the Middle East by the end of the decade, and could end any reliance at all by 2035, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
- A proposed solar power plant in the Mojave Desert will not have to meet the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, under legislation signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. Environmental groups opposed the exemption, saying the solar power plant would harm threatened species.
- After months of study punctuated by a highly emotional public debate, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) will soon announce his decision on whether to allow natural gas production through hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking.
- The New Hampshire legislature has enacted legislation prohibiting state officials from creating or participating in a low-carbon fuel program without first getting approval from the legislature. Gov. John Lynch (D) allowed the bill to become law without his signature.
- The American Bird Conservancy has filed suit in federal court accusing the U.S. government of "flagrantly violating" the Freedom of Information Act by failing to appropriately respond to its FOIA requests for correspondence between the federal government and wind power companies.

Men's Soccer Opens Spring Schedule at Clemson, FurmanFebruary 25, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – After an impressive 2013 season, Anderson University men's soccer begins its grueling 2014 spring schedule that features four Division I teams, beginning with a trip to Clemson on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m., followed by a visit to Furman on Saturday at 1 p.m.
On Wednesday, Anderson will begin the evening with a match against Clayton State at 5:45 p.m., followed by the showdown with the Tigers at 7:30 p.m.
The Trojans are coming off a 12-win season when they advanced to their fourth straight South Atlantic Conference Tournament championship. Despite falling in the tournament final for the first time, AU advanced to the NCAA Tournament where it was eliminated by NCAA Tournament Runner-Up, Carson-Newman, 3-2. Throughout the season, Anderson posted a 7-0-1 record for non-conference games, including a 4-0-1 mark against Peach Belt Conference opponents.
Clemson closed the 2013 season with an 11-7-3 record and advanced to the opening round of NCAA Division I Tournament, falling to Elon on penalty kicks. Anderson and Clayton State will be the only two Division II teams the Tigers will face this spring as CU will also square off with two professional teams in the Charleston Battery and the Atlanta Silverbacks.
Furman posted an 11-5-2 overall record a season ago, falling in the Southern Conference semifinals to Wofford, ending its 2013 campaign. Last season, the Paladins placed five on the All-SoCon squad, headlined by Freshman of the Year Bobby Edet who scored seven goals and dished out one assist for the regular season.
FU is one of most recognized programs in the countries and has sent several players to the professional ranks such as Clint Dempsey, Alec Kann, Shea Salinas and Walker Zimmerman.
Anderson continues its spring slate with a trip to Mercer on March 22, followed by the Anderson Spring Tournament on April 5, hosted at Trojan Stadium. The Trojans end the spring on the road at UNC Greensboro on April 12.

WACO (February 13, 2013)--A Waco man who was shot in January by officers who responded to a domestic disturbance appeared in federal magistrate's court Wednesday and was ordered held pending formal arraignment in federal court on drug and firearms charges.
U.S. Magistrate Jeffrey C. Manske ordered Michael Ray Hall, 46, held until he can appear again for formal arraignment on Feb. 21.
Hall appeared in court Wednesday wearing a neck brace, because he was shot in the neck during the January disturbance.
Hall is named in a federal indictment charging possession of at least 50 grams of methamphetamine and convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
The indictment shows Hall has earlier state convictions for stealing a car in 1986, burglarizing a building in 1987, and that he was convicted as a habitual criminal in 1990 on a charge of aggravated assault on a peace officer.
Court records from the hearing Wednesday show Hall was taken to the federal magistrate's court while in state custody, so he was detained without bond.
Hall was shot in the lower jaw in January as he moved toward an officer in what police said was a threatening manner after a woman involved in the disturbance said the man was armed and had fired a shot inside the house.
The officers, Hans Fitting, a 23-year veteran, and Don Patterson, a 14-year veteran, were sent to 3424 Forrester Lane just after 11 a.m. on Jan. 11 in response to the report the disturbance.
Officers later discovered the man wasn't armed, but had left the weapon in a bedroom where investigators later determined he had fired it just before officers arrived.

To dance it or not to dance it......if can't be danced as it was meant to..or as we know it..
Posted 04 August 2011 - 07:54 PM
The "issue" starts at 1:20.
Posted 04 August 2011 - 10:15 PM
Dancers change things all the time, to their good turning side (tours en l'air, etc.) and if this dancer has some issue with her feet or whatever - then that is fine for her to change it.
It is also not a bad variation on a theme. (the hops on pointe are really not as difficult as they look, in my experience - changing them to something else could have many reasons, but probably being too difficult for the dancer is not one of them. Just my opinion. )
Posted 05 August 2011 - 03:30 AM
I've seen her do Giselle several times and she was gorgeous (though I was very very young at the time). The thing is you can't judge a dancer from a clip on youtube, nor make a case for a career on a snippet. The hops on pointe aren't hard and Seviallno was a virtuoso, an injury can lead a dancer to make substitutions for certain steps it that step worries or niggles an injury or pressure spot, it's highly probable that the hops may have hit a "trouble spot" in her foot and so in the case of a run of performances Sevillano did something else to take the heat off. Antoinette Sibley following a huge knee injury in 1976 was never able to do fouettes again, so in Swan Lake she substituted them with a series of pose and pique turns around the stage. It's the dancer and the performance that counts as a whole, not a certain step no matter how iconic.
Here's a great clip of Sevillano & Patrick Armand circa 1990 in a rehearsal of the third act of Swan Lake, it's tops:
And as Diane said a great deal of what we take now for the "ususal" steps in any ballet may be nothing more than a text from a specific performance which gained mass popularity, but makes it no more the definitive than any other interpolation.
Posted 05 August 2011 - 09:42 AM
I don't like extended hops on pointe very much. Even watching Osipova in the recent 3D movie, by the time I was thinking "Wow, I can't remember the last time that a Giselle didn't, just a little, change her facial expression or knit her brow or get a concentrated look in her eyes during the second half of the hops, it looked so easy for her", I was already outside the performance. I liked Sevillanos' change because the hops themselves break up the flow of the variation, while her change made them part of a phrase that was part of a shape.
Thank you so much for posting the "Swan Lake" rehearsal video, Simon. I'm not sure how much of a difference in energy and emphasis she had between the rehearsal and actual performance, but I've rarely seen a rendition of the pas de deux in which the Odile has so much Odette in the overall quality of her movement -- not just the occasional caricature -- that Albrecht doesn't look like a fool confusing the two. Even with von Rothbart in the picture, she never gives the broad wink/smirk/"in the bag" asides to him or the audience/mirror.
The accompanist is a hero in the opening adagio. I love the way Armand links the phrases in his variation, never stopping to pose. In fact, there's little "ta da" in the entire rehearsal, which I find appealing.
The first suggestion on the YouTube site is for a grainy clip of a live performance at the Teatro Colon by Sevillano and Armand in Ashton's "Romeo and Juliet" Balcony Pas de Deux. I can't speak to style, but she shows the same extraordinary movement quality throughout her body in this clip.
Posted 05 August 2011 - 02:06 PM
It's the dancer and the performance that counts as a whole, not a certain step no matter how iconic.
This is my feeling as well.
(In The Shape of Love Kirkland describes working closely with Sevillano on Giselle.)

Whew! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I hate the way hops on pointe make the hopping foot and leg look -- the bent knee and back-angled foot seem almost antithetical to the whole aesthetic point of pointe work. I liked Sevillanos' variation on the move too.

Meanwhile, let's luxuriate in the-("my" )- traditional way...

This is also what's so damaging about dance appreciation via Youtube, you're looking at a moment in any dancer's career but a career is made up of more than moments taken out of context. Just as those last films of Alonso dancing Giselle in her late 70s do the young vital and virtuosic Alonso a great disservice.
Sevillano belongs to a very great and interesting part of London Festival Ballet/English National Ballet's history under the directorship of Peter Schaufuss when he was AD from 1984-1990. At that stage the Royal was really in the doldrums, especially in the dancers and rep it fielded. Schaufuss made some stellar decisions in bringing in sublime and phenomenal foreign stars, Patrick Armand, Alessandro Molin, he also gave Julio Bocca his first foreign job. He hired the then 49 Lynn Seymour and remounted the last act of Anastasia & Onegin especially for her, he changed the name of the company from London Festival Ballet to English National Ballet and formed a school to feed the company. He hired the brilliant contemporary dancer Brenda Edwards a star with London Contemporary Dance Theatre as a soloist and created a contemporary rep.
He also created a smaller offshoot company who performed a really astounding rep especially for smaller theatres and brought in truly great works to give the public a wider taste of what dance was. In one season they performed Apollo, Aureole by Paul Taylor, Song of a Wayfarer, Etudes, Night Creature by Alvin Ailey, Onegin, Ashton's Romeo & Juliet, a new Swan Lake by Makarova, several new works by Christopher Bruce including Swan Song and they did a truly sensational evening length restaging of Lindsay Kemp & Christopher Bruce's Blood Wedding.
But what Schaufuss also did was bring in three very very young talented ballerinas and elevated them to principal status in a very baby ballerina Ballets Russes De Monte Carlo manouever. They were Katharine Healy, who could do anything, as long as it was technique, an Australian Susan Hogard who was in the Guillem/Bussell mould and Sevillano.
Healy stayed two years then went back to university, she was probably the most technically accomplished on a level of tricks and indeed she always struck me as far too sensible and intelligent a person to sacrifice her life to ballet. Susan Hogard had a big success in Apollo but she was very wooden outside of her technique and most interesting and the real ballerina was Sevillano.
Sevillano's career was a bit like a dummy run or blueprint for Tamara Rojo's (though Sevillano was far more talented) also Sevillano was apparently very emotionally fragile, something Rojo isn't and those fragilities ended up destroying her career, but then she started her professional career at 15, that can't be good for the head. Sevillano was the one who was given everything and the one who people turned up to see dance, she was quite simply phenomenal, also she had a beautiful muscular body, in clips of her you can really see where her strength was.
In the course of her career she was the prima at ENB, she guested with the Kirov, moved to Boston as principal, then in the early 90s was invited to join the Royal as principal, a move which apparently pretty much did her in. This was a period when the Royal was fielding Guillem, the patchy Bussell and Durante as their go-to girls, also the company was being badly mismanaged by Dowell and the administration, less than three years later they were homeless and bankrupt. Sevillano who was unlike any other dancer there was made to audition for all her roles and treated very poorly, though she was gorgeous and then she just suddenly disappeared and gave up dancing.
This is one thing I have to stress whether you like the hops or no hops it's totally unfair to judge Sevillano and her abilities and the impact her brief and brilliant career had on that 20 second moment when for whatever reason she felt she needed to change the steps (and many a ballerina with a foot injury changes that moment as it seems to exacerbate the injury) - it is not a valid or fair indication of what she was and what her abilities were. Far better to watch the Swan Lake rehearsal or her Kirov performances. Sevillano was a very great ballerina who sadly never gained the ironclad position or long career her talents, which while universally recognised, deserved.

I do not _think_ the discussion was meant to belittle Sevillano and her dancing; I _think_ the question was really more like, "do you mind if steps which have become so iconic are changed in a variation?"
I think that Sevillano was picked as an example of one of those changes - perhaps one of the few one can find on youtube?
(and I do agree that youtube is not the final word on what is good or not good!!)
The observation that a very sensitve and emotionally fragile personality has a harder time of it in the theatre business is very good.
There are so many mosaic-stones involved in making an artist - dancer - and any one of them being slightly "out of place" (meaning not in the ideal position for putting up with a lot of "unpleasantries", to put it mildly), then the chances of one having a "stellar career" are diminished, to say the least.
I am glad to have seen the clips I have seen of Sevillano; I obviously never saw her in real life. For that this board - and youtube - are great.

Those hops were the same passage which ended Yulia Bolshakova's career, who was fast tracked by the Mariinsky for stardom, but whose foot injuries ended her career. In her first Giselle she was obviously in immense pain but insisted on trying that section, fell over badly several times where the smart move would have been to substitute like Sevillano did. It's not those small moments which make a performance it's an impression of the whole two hours.
Many dancers, great dancers including Sibley, Farrell, Schaufuss, Dowell, have had to radically alter sections which they once did, iconic sections in ballet as career-ending injuries forced them to reappraise their techniques and what they could or couldn't do if they were to continue dancing.
I recently read a review of Cuban National Ballet were the reviewer had been looking forward to Viengsay Valdes' feats of technique and that night she was off, very off for whatever reason illness/injury but insisted on dancing and was unable to balance or even turn very well. Dancers have off nights, they have injuries and so perhaps the more pertinent question for this thread should be whether an injured or ill dancer should be on stage at all.
Dance isn't cinema where you get a perfect recorded version each time, it's alive in the moment and utterly fallible, I've been to performances of companies two nights in a row where one night they're brilliantly on, then the next they're all over the place, the same ballet or dance piece, the same dancers - it's great if you're there on an "on" night and for the dancer being recorded for posterity it's great if they're filmed on an on night.
I don't need to see several comparison videos of Giselles' to know that Sevillano could do the hops, the implication of comparing her to several ballerinas doing the hops is to imply she was less able, a lesser dancer. Also if we want to be pedantic all those videos except for the Spessivtseva were specially filmed for later broadcast, where mulitple takes are filmed and the best version chosen. In much the same way where a Tchai PDD comparison thread of several men was recently posted and Sasha Radetsky looked the best and most polished from the several men - except his version was a segment from the film Centre Stage and had obviously been filmed over several hours and each section taken out of context to make a seemingly perfect whole.

Trinidad Sevillano had joined LFB just as I started watching ballet and for me she has always been the ballerina that everyone else has to match up to.
Thanks, Simon, for your lovely summation of her talents

Grid to grid drag and drop: how to sync store?
I've got two grids. I drag from grid 'one' to grid 'two'.
In the 'beforedrop' event for grid 'two', I alter the data.records slightly (adding two fields with default values as these don't exist in grid 'one').
Grid 'two' show the new dragged record. So drag and drop is working.
However, I want to save this record to my database. So I added to the 'drop' event for grid 'two', code to save this record. Unfortunately, I've tried several commands, but none is working properly.
Store is not synchronized (dirty property not updated or store doesn't contain new record, or grid show the just dropped record twice):
PHP Code:
// Shows twice in grid:
drop: function(node, data, dropRec, dropPosition) {
members_id: data.records[0].get('id')
,teams_id: data.records[0].get('teams_id')
,fullname: data.records[0].get('fullname')
,sortorder: data.records[0].get('sortorder')
,is_team_captain: 0
// Record saved to database, but store not synchronized, so updates to this record do nothing (no proxy update or change event is fired)
drop: function(node, data, dropRec, dropPosition) {
var member = Ext.ModelManager.create({
members_id: data.records[0].get('id')
,teams_id: data.records[0].get('teams_id')
,fullname: data.records[0].get('fullname')
,sortorder: data.records[0].get('sortorder')
,is_team_captain: 0
,id: 0
,number_subteam: ''
}, 'EX.model.Player');
// this sync command does nothing!
PHP Code:
Ext.define('EX.model.Player', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model'
,fields: [
{name: 'id', type: 'int'}
,{name: 'teams_id', type: 'int'}
,{name: 'members_id', type: 'int'}
,{name: 'sortorder', type: 'int'}
,{name: 'fullname', type: 'string'}
,{name: 'number_subteam', type: 'string'}
,{name: 'is_team_captain', type: 'bool'}
,proxy: {
type: 'ajax'
,extraParams: {
teams_id: 0
,players_id: 0
,api: {
create: 'phpscripts/updatePlayers.json.php'
,read: 'phpscripts/players.json.php'
,update: 'phpscripts/updatePlayers.json.php'
,destroy: 'phpscripts/deletePlayers.json.php'
,reader: {
type: 'json'
,root: 'response'
PHP Code:
Ext.define('EX.store.Players', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Store',
model: 'EX.model.Player',
autoLoad: true
Any help is appreciated!
BTW: accessing Ext.ModelManager.getModel('string/id') is not working if I put in the id (already removed from my model as it didn't work) or string 'Player' is not working. 'EX.model.Player' seems to work. It looks like only the 'name' of the model is used here. Is this correct and should I file bug-report?

You should first create a new model, then add that to the store of the 2nd grid. This should issue a 'create' request as the new model is added to the new store. Is this what you'd like?
13 Aug 2011 1:12 PM #4
So with regard to my post at:
, when the target grid registers a drop event, I need to create a new record on the target grid's store? When I call store.sync() on the source store (the grid that the record was dragged from), it sends out a delete request through REST - which is fine.
On the target grid though, I set a property that I need to change, and then set the record to dirty (with setDirty()). At this point, I am expecting the target grid's store to sync (on calling .sync()), because the record is now phantom, right? .sync() uses internally getNewRecords(), getModifiedRecords(), and getRemovedRecords() - and only getRemovedRecords seems to return something, the others seem to return an empty array all the time? So anyway, .sync() doesn't do anything.
How do I solve this issue?
Please help!
Thanks a ton for your time!

I've got the same issue.
Did you resolve it?
Thanks a lot
19 Nov 2012 10:55 PM #6
I add a listener to my grid for workaround:
viewConfig: { plugins: { ptype: 'gridviewdragdrop', dragGroup: 'secondGridDDGroup', dropGroup: 'firstGridDDGroup' }, listeners: { beforedrop: function(node, data, dropRec, dropPosition) { Ext.Array.each(data.records, function(rec) { rec.setDirty(); }); } } },

Unanswered: How to retrieve the original size and width of an Ext.Img?
To maintain the aspect ratio of an image (for instance when inside of a hbox layout using align: 'stretch'), I need the original width and height of the image that I use in the resize event.
For an Image() class this data can be accessed via the load event (after the image is loaded), but because Ext.Img is a subclass of Ext.Component obviously the 'load' event is not fired after the image is loaded. Does anyone know:
- How to maintain the aspect ration of an Ext.Img, or
- How to retrieve the width and the height of the original image (before any resizing is done), or
- How to receive the load event on the Ext.Img component
26 Oct 2011 9:58 PM #2
I think to get the original dimensions you'd need to make a hidden copy of the Ext.Img that doesn't have its size set:
Ext.create('Ext.Img', { hidden: true, hideMode: 'offsets', renderTo: Ext.getBody(), src: '...' });
This still has the problem of knowing when it has loaded. You could either use polling, assuming a 0 size means it hasn't loaded yet, or try hacking in to the underlying img element. When I've implemented things like this in the past I've ended up implementing both polling and events as I found just events unreliable. Of course I wrapped both techniques behind an ExtJS event to hide the nastiness behind a nice API.ConsultJS: http://consultjs.com/

Co-pay assistance is financial assistance for co-pays for patients WITH insurance - but whom we would consider to be UNDERINSURED (commercial/private/Medicare).
Underinsured means that the patient has out of pocket costs, which are not covered by the medical insurance plan, which can impact financial well-being and access to care. When investigating your potential out of pocket responsibilities for care you want to know:
Both the insurance company and the insurance verifier/pre-cert coordinator/financial counselor at your treatment site should be able to get you the answers to these questions. Once you have ascertained that you have out of pocket responsibilities related to your treatment, it is time to investigate if you are eligible for co-pay assistance.
I advise patients/support persons to keep a notebook/folder with a section dedicated to financials, bills and costs. ALWAYS keep track of whom you speak with at your treatment site, the insurance company or any Co-pay assistance foundation.
There are many private foundations that are funded by both pharmaceutical companies and other private donors to provide assistance with co-pays and out of pocket medical expenses. Each of these foundations has specific diagnostic and financial need criteria a patient must meet to be eligible for financial assistance. They also dictate what kind of treatments are covered for each disease (i.e. they don't fund experimental treatments), as well as how health care organizations can bill for services to the foundation or if the patient can be reimbursed for costs. Some co-pay assistance foundations will cover the cost of office visits co-pays ONLY IF the patient is receiving treatment on the same day. Some funds for specific diseases can also assist with insurance premium payments. It is important to familiarize yourself with the guidelines and regulations of EACH foundation you receive assistance from, and yes, you can receive assistance from more than one source.
In cancer treatment, the following organizations provide co-pay assistance:
Each of these organizations provides assistance to various diagnoses and for various drugs. Their funding seems to change REGULARLY, so it is important to check EACH website for EACH foundation regularly regarding YOUR diagnosis and if funding is available.
Here are some KEY points to know about co-pay assistance:
Each co-pay foundation sets its own income requirements to receive assistance. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's is that a patient qualifies if they are within 500% of the poverty level - for a single person they are permitted to have an income of around $54000. This amount adjusts for the number of persons in the household.
Cancer Care applies a financial eligibility at 400% of the poverty level. For a single person, that translates to $44,680 per year.
It is important to gather your financial information when applying for co-pay assistance including tax returns, pay stubs, and social security award letters. These foundations do not tend to ask about other financial assets in their eligibility determination process. They should never ask about your home value or cars. These foundations WILL take into account outstanding medical bills (as debt) and may adjust income accordingly.
For more information about the specific financial guidelines for co-pay assistance, contact the individual foundations directly.
The co-pay card appeared in 2005 as a means by which pharmaceutical providers could, by offering instant rebates to patients, combat some of their challenges to prescription pharmaceuticals, including generic competition & lack of patient compliance and persistency due to out of pocket cost for the medication at the commercial pharmacy
Co-pay cards are ONLY for patients who have private/commercial insurance; they do not apply for patients with Medicare Part D sponsored RX plans or Medicaid.
Co-pay cards can be very helpful for certain medications including:
Your oncology social worker or navigator should be able to help you with the process of determining what programs you may be eligible for as well as helping with applications and facilitating medical information getting to the foundation in a timely fashion. It is important to communicate with your cancer care team about the costs of your care and how this may impact your ability to participate in your treatment plan. There is a great deal of assistance out there to help cope with the financial burden of cancer treatment. Be sure to advocate for yourself and talk to your social worker!

Reel 349, Item 1
Interview about Ghosts
(Frances Curtis, a student in the class in Arkansas Folklore, brought this tape on April 15, 1953, accompanied by the following note:)
" This tape recording was made by Helen Burke in November of 1950. Helen was blind. She died in 1952. It was recorded on a record at KFFA. I got the record and had the tape made from it. The man talking worked in her father's coal yard. The other man worked at the radio station. Later the Negro man told Mrs. Burke (Helen's mother) that Helen had ruined it because she laughed. "

WELLSBURG - Three Brooke High School seniors interested in becoming educators will compete in a state competition testing skills they will need in the future.
Seniors Angie Smith of Wellsburg and Kirsten Minger and Brianna Kowalsky, both of Follansbee, will represent the school's chapter of Future Educators of America at the West Virginia FEA Fall Leadership Conference in Roanoke in December.
The three are students in Diane Lucero's careers in education class, which is designed to prepare students, through instruction and hands-on experience, for careers in teaching and operation of daycare centers.
Article Photos
LEARNING EXPERIENCE — Angela Smith, a junior in Brooke High School's careers in education class, taught Matteo Filippelli and other students at the school with special needs to cook as preparation for a career in teaching and a project for a competition held by West Virginia Future Educators of America. Smith's classmates Kirsten Minger and Brianna Kowalsky will compete in divisions testing their skill at presenting a lesson plan and undergoing the job application and interview process.
-- Contributed
Smith will present a report on her efforts at teaching cooking and other living skills, such as washing dishes and sweeping the floor, to youth in the school's special education program.
She said she chose the project, which she dubbed Friends Helping Friends, because she was interested in working with youth with mental and physical impairments, and that interest hasn't waned. While she's only required to work with the students until January, she plans to continue through the rest of the school year, Smith said.
"It was really fun and I got to know the kids," she said, adding she found the students, while faced with special challenges, are like other teens in many ways.
For example, they enjoyed cooking very much, but when it came to cleaning, they had as much interest as most people, she said.
But both activities helped them become more independent and they took pride in that, Smith noted.
Under the supervision of special education instructor Shari Fonner, Smith taught the students to make such food as spaghetti, mashed potatoes and turkey rollups, which she explained is turkey slices wrapped in stuffing.
The students liked taking home some of the food to their families as well as directions so they could make them again at home, Smith said.
Smith also recruited fellow students to assist with a Halloween party for the students and to aid them in practicing with Brooke Bruins football players.
She said the school's head football coach, Sean Blumette, "was a big help with that," and allowed the students to watch a junior varsity game from the sidelines.
For another division of the competition, Minger will present a videotape and report on a lesson plan on geometric shapes she presented to pupils in Barbara Pettini's second-grade class at Jefferson Primary School.
The report must include an assessment of its effectiveness by Minger, including how the lesson might be improved, and an evaluation by Pettini.
Kowalsky, who also is a state FEA officer, will enter a competition testing her ability to submit a cover letter and resume demonstrating why she is a good candidate for a position as well as her poise and effectiveness while participating in a job interview.
Other divisions of the state competition challenges students to create videotaped public serving ads promoting teaching as a career and to speak extemporaneously on a subject related to education.
Winners will advance to a national conference in Orlando, Fla., in April.

I need to demonstrate that there is a finite set of planar graphs with the property that the graph G is isomorphic with its complement graph.Can you give me some suggestions or hints ?Thank you
I apologize for posting the full answer. Somehow I missed that you only need hints. I'll leave the full answer below and give few hints here.
Full Solution follows.
Let $G$ be a self-complementary graph of order $n.$ Then $G$ has $\frac{n(n+1)}{4} = \mathcal{O}(n^2)$ edges. But from Euler's formula, every planar graphs has $\mathcal{O}(n)$ edges. Hence there are only finitely many self-complementary planar graphs.
To be more precise, Euler's formula implies that for a planar graph $G$ of order $n \geq 3$ we have $$|E(G)| \leq 3n-6$$ hence if $G$ is self complementary we have $$ \frac{n(n+1)}{4} \leq 3n-6$$ which implies $3 \leq n \leq 8.$ Hence a self-complementary planar graph may have at most 8 vertices.
As it appears there are only 14 such graphs and they can be seen in the attached figure!
