Dick Harmon: Former BYU QB Jim McMahon's brain in hands of inventor of the MRI
Let's pray he makes the right read now that it really counts.
Jim McMahon keeps giving updates to his fans that he's begun treatments to ward off pain and the early onset of dementia after a career filled with blows to his head and brain.
Hope for the former BYU and Chicago Bears quarterback is in the hands of renowned New York doctor Raymond Damadian this week. Damadian invented the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine and was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1989.
McMahon told reporters in Chicago his doctor has a stand-up MRI machine and that he has "some type of blockage" in the neck area, where the cerebral fluid is blocked and is backing up into the brain.
"Just diagnosing that, once this is resolved, that should take care of a lot of my problems," McMahon said. The treatments began Nov. 11. "My memory should come back. I am very excited," McMahon told the Joliet Herald News.
The treatment is non-invasive and will center on shifting the vertebrae. "When people get brain injuries or trauma, you have to look at the whole spine, not just the brain," said McMahon, who was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated in September, a story that centered on his memory issues.
McMahon is a character for sure. His antics, his playmaking, his leadership in helping the Chicago Bears win a Super Bowl remain part of football legend.
I wish him well.
McMahon is truly an enigma. He's got that outrageous side, and he's got a gentle, compassionate, almost Robin Hood aspect to his character.
I remember back in the early 1980s, KOVO's Larson Bennett invited me to cohost a radio show in Provo, and our first guest was to be McMahon. We got a hold of him and invited him to join us after football practice via phone.
Fifteen minutes into the program, McMahon pulled up in his green Plymouth Duster, walked into the station and spent more than half an hour graciously answering questions and giving his opinions. We were a little stunned. The station was located in the boonies and this was before the days of GPS, and our show was nothing really, no reputation, no track record and no history or marketing, and a phone call would have sufficed.
Behind the scenes over the years, McMahon took on a personal battle to lift the burden of a downtrodden family in Pleasant Grove. It never got much publicity, but he saved that family.
A few weeks ago, McMahon was the guest speaker at the 36th annual University of St. Francis Brown and Gold Banquet at the Patrick J. Sullivan Recreation Center in Chicago.
Organizers, knowing his reputation for flamboyance and outrageousness, and the fact he's been front and center in an NFL Players Association battle to gain attention and perhaps compensation for head trauma injuries by players, didn't know what to expect.
Someone said, on a scale of 1 to 10, they hoped McMahon would be a 2 or 3.
He delivered a 10, according to a report in the Chicago Herald-News. He was funny, entertaining and held the audience spellbound with his stories of playing with the Bears and his college days. McMahon signed hundreds of autographs that night, and a live auction for a round of golf with him at Rich Harvest Farms brought in $5,000 to the athletic budget.
Such is the power of charity. That was the night McMahon did what he usually has done on the field. Just delivered.
McMahon had 18 surgeries during his NFL and college career, and he told the audience, "I pretty much glow in the dark."

From abused child to FranklinCovey executive and LDS family man, Sam Bracken's journey of a radical change
"My beloved brothers and sisters, I testify of angels, both the heavenly and the mortal kind. In doing so I am testifying that God never leaves us alone, never leaves us unaided in the challenges that we face." — Elder Jeffrey R. Holland (October 2008 general conference)
Sam Bracken's childhood was one of unspeakable abuse and neglect.
By the time he was a teenager, Bracken had been beaten, starved, set on fire, molested, and exposed to all kinds of drugs and alcohol. At age 15, his mother kicked him out on the street and took up with a motorcycle gang.
Despite the hopelessness, the Lord did not abandon this troubled youth.
Thanks to a long list of loving friends, generous strangers, teachers and coaches — Bracken's "angels" — he found the LDS Church, earned a college football scholarship, served a mission and was eventually married in the temple. Today the father of four is a successful businessman and philanthropist. He is a speaker and author. He seeks out opportunities to mentor at-risk youths.
"I was really fortunate, truly blessed, I had angels all around me. I had some key people at the right time, who did the right things, and they reached across to help me," Bracken said. "It made all the difference."
Lost childhood
Conceived when his mother was raped, Sam grew up in Las Vegas in the 1970s. His dark childhood was scarred by poverty and a series of bad decisions by his mother.
When Sam was 7, his mother married Leroy Bracken. She worked three jobs, was rarely home and took pills to stay awake. According to Bracken, his stepfather watched TV in underwear, consumed alcohol and abused Bracken and his siblings. Lenny, a stepbrother who once poured lighter fluid on Sam's arm and laughed as he flicked a lighter, introduced him to marijuana and beer, Bracken says.
Big for his age at 13, Bracken passed as an adult at the casino where his mother worked. He was allowed to gamble, drink and meet women. He also befriended a kid whose father was a mobster.
At age 15, Bracken's mother moved in with a Hessian motorcycle gang and abandoned him, saying, "Someday you will thank me for this."
And that's only a sampling of his horrific childhood. Bracken details all the atrocities of his youth in his book. (More on the book later.)
Amid the despair, at least three blessings emerged.
At age 14, one of his teachers figured out he needed glasses, not special education courses, to succeed in school. His grades went from Cs, Ds and Fs to As.
Bracken also discovered he was gifted athletically. He started running track and playing football.
After his mother abandoned him, he went for a long run in the desert and collapsed in the dirt. At that low point of his young life, Bracken said a desperate prayer for God to help him.
"I had no place to go; I was at a loss. Then I get this impression to call my friend, Brent," Bracken said. "He was a Mormon."
A new course
Bracken's prayer was answered when Brent's family took him in for a time. He excelled in a "normal" family environment. A few coaches and teachers who were aware of his situation went the extra mile in helping him. Bracken raised his GPA to 3.9 and stood out in football and track. He also began investigating The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As he met with the missionaries and read the Book of Mormon, he gained a strong testimony of the gospel, but had to wait until his senior year for permission to be baptized.

Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, Speaks Out
Secretary Duncan made creating more charters a central element of his impressive tenure as head of Chicago's school system. His continuing charter-school emphasis is reflected in the Education Department's first television production under his leadership — "Charter Schools: School Reform that Works."
President Obama and Secretary Duncan recognize the key role charter schools can play in improving U.S. public education.
President Obama and Secretary Duncan recognize the key role charter schools can play in improving U.S. public education.
Virtually all of the Republican lawmakers, along with a significant number of Democrats, gave President Obama's call for more charter schools the grand hand it deserves. So should all Americans who understand the need for, and the positive power of, school choice.Popular demand continues to rise for charter schools — public schools run by boards of private citizens who enjoy considerable independence from school districts. That governing structure encourages innovation while expanding educational choice within the public-school system. It also encourages parental and community involvement — essential ingredients in the continuing quest to upgrade U.S. public education.

When an article is submitted to a conference or journal, is it better to use British or American spelling? Does it have to be according to the conference or journal's style (based on where it is being held or who hold it) or is it up to the writer to choose and stick to one style?
I'd think that the writer wouldn't be expected to change his or her writing style based on the style of a particular publication. I've seen both styles in the same journal before, so I'd suggest writing at your comfort level.
When I write papers, I usually try to write in American English. I say try because not being a native speaker (I'm Belgian), i have a natural tendency to mix up stuff. So when I'm not sure, I take a dictionary and look up the possible spellings and will settle for a consistent choice, which is most of the time American English.
The most important is to be consistent.
The only time you'd have to choose is if you're submitting to a journal or publication that has a list of writing standards to which applications must adhere, and one of their standards is preferred spelling.

I am on this since 6am this morning. Over 13 hours. Still issues. Can anyone suggest a different way to changing the Toolbar to Summary Toolbar? I would appreciate it.
Is there a simple way to change the toolbar from Full to Summary in List View Web Part using object model? I already have object model that adds lvwp. I dont want to re-invent the wheel. By default it's giving "Full Toolbar" and it's good for some wp. However, I have some special WPs that need "Summary Toolbar". I tried few suggested by various blogs but none is helping.

Understanding Depression
In This Article:
Are You Depressed?
Think Twice
Don't make the mistake of assuming that you should be able to cure depression by yourself. It takes someone very strong to admit he or she needs help.
Recognizing depression early can prevent needless suffering. Depression is curable most of the time. If you think you might be depressed, answer "yes" or "no" to the following questions:
Do you frequently feel unhappy or down in the dumps?
Are you uninterested in most of your usual activities?
Has your appetite either increased or decreased significantly?
Has your sleep been disturbed and/or have you been unable to get out of bed in the morning?
Do you feel fatigued or low on energy most days?
Do you feel worthless or guilty most days?
Do you have trouble concentrating?
Do you have thoughts about wishing you were dead or killing yourself?
If you answered "yes" to three or more of the questions, you might be depressed. Make an appointment right away to be evaluated by your primary care doctor or a psychiatrist.

Love knows no age. That was true today at Chandler Park Assisted Living where students from Warren East High School's Future Business Leaders of America club delivered Valentines goodies and spent some time with residents.
The students spent weeks collecting and making those goodie bags with things they thought the residents would enjoy.
"We had pencils and some straws and a few Valentines goodies, and we also brought puzzles... Valentines puzzles... small easy things for them to work on that they can do in their spare time," said Warren East High School FBLA President Trae Cardwell.
They named the idea Hearts for the Elderly, with the goal of making sure the elderly are not forgotten on Valentine's day.
This is the first year for the project, but Cardwell says it's something they plan to continue doing.

I came across this sentence:
四月だというのに、結構寒いね。 "It is April, but it is rather cold isn't it?"
Recalling what I learned about the のに conjunction, I can also make the sentence:
(Question) What is the difference?
I came across this sentence:
Recalling what I learned about the のに conjunction, I can also make the sentence:
(Question) What is the difference?
In this case, there is very little difference, except in flavor. You shouldn't look at it as という vs. な because they can't be compared. The な here simply allows you to use のに with the noun 四月.
という, in my mind, is like putting air quotes on something. という gives the former example more flavor, I think. Source --> Opinions, one Japanese and one American. I asked the Japanese lady next to me and she agreed.
四月だというのに、結構寒いね。>> Even though it's April, it's quite cold, huh? Flavor: This super coldness doesn't feel like "April," you know?
四月なのに、結構寒いね。>> Even though it's April, it's quite cold huh? Flavor: I'm stating a fact about the weather this April.
というのに is used a lot, so keep an ear out for it.
A better translation of 四月だというのに、結構寒いね would be: 'Even though they [we] say (that) it is April, it is rather cold'. The second sentence leaves out the bit of 'they (or we) say' and states it as a fact: 四月なのに、結構寒いね 'Even though it is April, it is rather cold'. Since the nuance of 'they say it is April' exists in English as well there is no need to leave out という in the translation or confusion about how the two sentences differ.

Newsome runs wild again in Ansonia rout
WOLCOTT — Wolcott's Adam Santopietro is glad Friday night was the last time he ever had to try to tackle Ansonia's Arkeel Newsome.
Newsome posted his third straight 300-yard game, tying a state record he already shares, and added five touchdowns as his Chargers extended their state-best winning streak to 35 with a 62-27 win over Wolcott at Joe Monroe Field.
"He's one of the best players I've ever gotten to play against," Santopietro said of Newsome, who finished with 321 yards on the ground. "He's so quick and so strong and so respectable. He's just a great player."
Wolcott (4-3, 2-1 NVL Brass) made Newsome work for almost every yard, allowing him only two runs of 25 yards or more. But that just made Ansonia (7-0, 3-0) move the chains more than they usually have to — 15 times, in fact, in the first half.
Still, Newsome found the end zone, as always. Three of the game's first four touchdowns came with the ball in his hands. His 9- and 16-yard touchdown runs made it a 14-0 lead in the first quarter before a 79-yard punt return touchdown — his first of the season and third of his career — gave the Chargers a 28-0 lead early in the second quarter.
Ansonia quarterback Jai'Quan McKnight added the Chargers' other three first-half touchdowns. He scored on runs of 1 and 9 yards before dishing a ball on a dime to Witold Gul, who made an over-the-shoulder catch, for a 36-yard touchdown just before halftime.
"Witold made a great catch," Ansonia coach Tom Brockett said. "That was a great ball from Jai'Quan that gave us the momentum going into the half."
Much like he did last week against Masuk, Newsome scored on the first play of the second half with a 51-yard touchdown run. This time, the run didn't break the state's all-time rushing record, but it did give Ansonia a 48-13 lead.
The Chargers' last two wins — a 62-28 victory over Derby and a 56-21 win over Masuk — came in high-profile games, a fact that concerned Brockett entering the contest against a Naugatuck Valley League Brass Division foe.
"Coming off the Derby game and the Masuk game, I was worried about this game being a trap game," Brockett said. "Wolcott has some really good playmakers."
The Eagles made as much offensive noise as any Ansonia opponent during the Chargers' 35-game win streak, which is one shy of their school record. Gambino completed 18 of 35 passes for 269 yards and three touchdowns, but he also threw three picks.
After a slow first quarter, Gambino settled in and hooked up with Jay Pelletier on a 24-yard touchdown pass and Nate Filippone on a 65-yard score, the latter of which cut Ansonia's lead to 35-13 midway through the second period.
"They played a lot of man on the outside and gave us some room to work on the inside," Gambino said. "When we brought in the hitches, it helped to open things up."
Santopietro (eight catches, 120 yards) worked the middle all night and slipped through the Chargers' defense several times. His work inside opened up opportunities out wide, which Gambino exploited for the touchdowns.
"I try to take what they give me and what I know I can do," Santopietro said. "I know they'll be aggressive, so I have to put in more effort and go get the ball."
Gambino's third touchdown pass of the night came on a 2-yard hookup with Pelletier to make it 48-20 on the Eagles' first series of the second half, but after that Ansonia's defensive backs locked down.
"We had to jump for a few more balls," Brockett said. "(Jayson Matos and Santopietro) are excellent players and Gambino did a good job of getting the ball to them."
Newsome and Gul picked off Gambino on his next two series. McKnight also added a first-half interception.
"They're so smart and they make adjustments," Gambino said. "They have great coaches and great players."

Mayor: I chose the best candidate
I feel as the mayor of this great city, I have an obligation to respond to the Sept. 8 editorial "Black leaders have a point." The editorial states, in part: "Black leaders stung by Mayor Neil M. O'Leary's inexplicable decision not to choose a qualified African-American woman for a Board of Education opening." The editorial went on to state Sundae Black "was the top vote-getter among the defeated candidates last November, and was willing to serve. Given these facts, there was no reason to look further. Yet, Mayor O'Leary picked someone who had shown no previous interest in serving on the school board ."

WHEELING - Just because natural gas drillers supply many of their own workers and services does not mean the Upper Ohio Valley will not gain manufacturing jobs from the shale rush.
In fact, a long-dormant section of South Wheeling now shines with hope, as the Arrowsmith Fabrication is performing work for natural gas processing plants.
This serves as an example of the new direction the area's manufacturing sector is taking - a direction that is helping to cover the loss of jobs primarily in the steel industry.
Article Photos
Brett Francis, co-owner of Arrowsmith Fabrication in South Wheeling, performs some machining inside the shop on Wood Street.
"We feel oil and gas is going to be our bread and butter in the future," said Michael Siebieda, co-owner of Arrowsmith. "It is just a matter of getting started."
Recently, Siebieda and co-owner Brett Francis manufactured a 6,000-pound "cattle stop" for the Williams Partners natural gas processing plant at Fort Beeler, in Marshall County. This is a large steel device designed to keep animals out of the way, but allow trucks to enter the plant.
As Siebieda and Francis perform work for Williams - and try to receive more jobs from additional oil and gas companies - they are running a new business that they know would probably not exist without the burgeoning shale rush. The Wheeling residents are so confident in their ability to perform the specialized work associated with the natural gas industry that they quit secure jobs to start their own business in South Wheeling. Together, they have 52 years of experience in welding and machining.
In the burgeoning natural gas industry, companies like Arrowsmith can perform work at drilling sites, pipeline sites, processing plants and other areas.
The Arrowsmith shop is an example of one of the many manufacturing businesses that can be created in the local area because the natural gas and oil extraction is taking place.
"There is so much work out there. We are just getting started by meeting with people and getting our name out there," said Siebieda.
One company with whom Siebieda and Francis said they signed a "master service agreement" is Williams, which is the company now operating the former Caiman Energy processing plant along U.S. 250 between Cameron and Moundsville. The Tulsa, Okla.-based company plans to build $1.34 billion worth of additional processing capacity in Marshall County, meaning Williams will have spent $3.84 billion for infrastructure in northern West Virginia over the past few years.
A new study by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for 21st Century Energy shows that increasing extraction from the Marcellus and Utica shale formations could be responsible for as many as 266,000 jobs in Ohio by 2035. Much of this growth could happen in Belmont, Jefferson, Harrison and Monroe counties.
"Whether it be equipment for pumping, filtration stations, collection systems, or separating liquids from gas, we are trying to find supply chain pressures where existing suppliers largely in and around Texas have excess demand so Ohio companies can become a part of the value chain," said Dave Karpinski, vice president and director of energy enterprise for the Northeast Ohio Regional Nonprofit Technology-based Economic Development group.
The analysis also shows that in 2012, the industry directly or indirectly contributed about $4.1 billion into Ohio's economy, or gross state product.
By 2035, the total value added to the state's economy will be more than $35 billion, the information states.
As mentioned in the study, institutions of higher learning such as Belmont College and Eastern Gateway Community College are working to train Ohio's labor force to work in the oil and natural gas business.
For West Virginia, the study shows that drilling and fracking is already responsible for 11,800 jobs, a number that could grow to 29,000 in 2020 - and 58,000 by 2035. In addition, shale energy development will generate $283 million in state and local government revenue in 2012 alone and could be generating $884 million annually by 2020 in West Virginia.

What, if anything, could or would be embedded into a client-side certificate that would prevent it from "working" when transferred to a new client machine on a new network?
Being unfamiliar with the kind of information that is embedded into a client certificate, I don't know if - for example - the certificate will only validate if it is found on a machine whose NIC is on a particular IP subnet.
I need to copy a client certificate, and get it up and running on a Windows 7 box, and I just want to know what kinds of issues or "gotchas" I may run into.

My numbers and everything are progressing extremely well. The weight isn't falling off like I thought it would.
My clothes fit really good.
I am by no means big, just want that last ten pounds gone to help me in WODs etc...
All you need to do in order to lose 10 lbs at a rate of 1 lb per week is create a calorie deficit of 500 kcal per day. This can be achieved by eating 250 kcal/d less and expending 250 kcals/d more through physical activity. In other words eat less, exercise more.
The eating less part can be as simple as eating 28g less fat per day (28 x 9 =252 kcals) which will have absolutely no effect on your performance or you could play around with the math little and eat 20g less fat (20 x 9 =180 kcals) and 17g less carbs or protein (17 x 4 = 68 kcals) (180 + 68 = 248 kcals total) or whatever. Just remember that cutting fat won't affect your performance but cutting carbs and protein will.
The exercise more part can be as simple as doing an extra 20-30 minutes per day on your least hated choice of your gyms cardio machines or you could go for a run, bike ride or whatever plus walking more, taking the stairs whenever possible and just generally spending less time sat on your ass.
Stick to the plan and ten weeks from now you'll be down to your target weight.

Let me recall the definition which seems the most standard of Fricke polynomials. Let $G$ be the free group with two generators $u,v$. It is not very hard to prove that there exists a unique application $t : G \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}[X,Y,Z]$ such that
(1) $t(u)=X,t(v)=Y,t(uv)=Z$,
(2) $t$ is the character (i.e. the trace) of a representation $r : G \rightarrow \rm{SL}_2(K)$ where $K$ is some field containing $\mathbb{Z}[X,Y,Z]$.
A Fricke polynomial is just an element of $\mathbb{Z}[X,Y,Z]$ which is in the mage of $t$.
What is the image of $t$ ?
Edit: As requested, I give here the proof of the statement about $t$. I believe that this statement is due in some form to Fricke in the nineteenth century:
If $t:G \rightarrow K$ is the trace of a representation $r: G \rightarrow {\rm{SL}}_2(K)$, then one has $t(gh)+t(gh^{-1}) = t(g)t(h)$ for all $g,h$ in $G$ (since this formula holds when $t$ is the trace, and $g,h$ are matrices in ${\rm SL}_2(K)$, as easily checked). Now this formula, and an easy induction on the length of a word $g$ in $G$ shows that $t(g)$ can be expressed as a polynomial (with integral coefficients) in $t(u)$, $t(v)$ and $t(uv)$. Hence a $t$ satisfying (1) and (2) is unique if it exists.
For the existence, let $U$ and $V$ be two matrices in ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ such that tr$U$, tr$V$, and tr$UV$ are algebraically independent (this is really easy). Then see $\mathbb{Z}[X,Y,Z]$ as a subring of $\mathbb{C}$ by sending $X$ on tr$U$, $Y$ on tr$V$, $Z$ on tr$UV$. Let $r$ be the representation $G \rightarrow \rm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ sending $u$ on $U$ and $v$ on $V$, and $t=$tr $r$. Then by definition $t$ satisfies (2), with $K=\mathbb{C}$, one has $t(u)=X$, $t(v)=Y$, $t(uv)=Z$ by construction and $t$ takes value in the subring $\mathbb{Z}[X,Y,Z]$ of $\mathbb{C}$ by what we have said earlier. Hence the existence of $t$.

For the first time in its history, the University of Colorado Boulder is ranked No. 1 in the nation for graduates serving as Peace Corps volunteers in 2011 with 117 undergraduate alumni currently serving overseas, the Peace Corps announced today.
Feb. 1, 2011
For the first time in its history, the University of Colorado Boulder is ranked No. 1 in the nation for graduates serving as Peace Corps volunteers in 2011 with 117 undergraduate alumni currently serving overseas, the Peace Corps announced today.
Alea Richmond was a Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador from 2008 to 2010. She worked with young people teaching English, HIV/Aids prevention, sexual and reproductive health in the high schools. She is now CU-Boulder's campus Peace Corps coordinator.
CUT 1 "From Peace Corps I learned how to over come adversity and what it feels like to be a minority. I grew up in Colorado and it was the first time experiencing what it felt like to be outnumbered and to be the one who was struggling with language -- to kind of live in a fish bowl where everyone was watching me. (:24) It really taught me the importance of relationships and humbling myself to let other people around me teach me and show me the way." (:34)
Chelsea Komlo is a CU-Boulder senior majoring in anthropology and philosophy. She is a new volunteer and just received her notice that she will be going to Africa after she graduates in May but she doesn't know where she'll be stationed. She is interested in health care and has been assigned to a health care project.
CUT 2 "It was really exciting for me to be told that I was going to Africa and working in health. Health is something that has interested me for a very long time. I am working in public health policy right now so it's just going to be fascinating to take what I've learned here and hopefully use it in Africa at whatever post I'm in. (:27) It's exciting but it's also -- I don't really know what to expect but I don't think that's a bad thing. I guess I am going into it as confidently as I can without knowing what I am getting myself into." (:38)
Peter Simons is director of CU-Boulder's Institute for Ethical and Civic Engagement.
CUT 3 "The University has always, even back to the early 60s when Peace Corps began, has attracted students who have a desire to be engage in their communities, whether it's global or local, developed or undeveloped and they have a desire to be overseas. (:15) The second part of that answer is over the last five years the university has emphasized strongly the importance of civic engagement as part of an undergraduate and graduate student's education and experience here." (:32)
CU-Boulder was ranked No. 2 in both 2009 and 2010, and is ranked No. 5 all time with 2,269 alumni who have served in the Peace Corps since it was established in 1961.

That is the biggest spider I have ever seen in my life! :O
I don't know what kind of spider is that, can you please tell me!
I will give you some clues...
I hope you know what this creepy crawly is!
Thank you for telling me what that spider is! A common brown spider...
They are harmless, large, and very common in southern UK and in most places of the southern world...
You americans should be happy about not having those giant spiders crawling around your homes.

- Has dark red legs
- Has brown/black body
- Has two funny looking antenna (with a 'ball' on the end) on its head
I hope you know what this creepy crawly is!

YOU STOLE MY PET I'm coming bob!
Lol, I let him back outside where he belongs.... :-)
Good? I thought it was bad, because how are you going to fine him?
When I got him at the pet shop I had them install a chip in him so if he ever got lost I would be able to track him down.
hate spiders
Yeah, you don't want to meet a hugh one...
Like the 20 foot sci-fi ones in my back yard...
ha ha. No, If I had those I'd move to canada.
Haha! okay...
cute little guy, nothing compared to what we have. ;-)
What spiders do you have?
Any walk in the woods around here will find argiope spiders and golden silk spiders. Personally in my yard I have Venusta orchard spiders, spiny orb weavers, black and brown widows (thou I try to keep them under control), various crab spiders and wolf spiders. The wolf spiders are great because as active hunters they keep the palmetto bugs under control. The pic down below is a Venusta orb weaver that was on my porch and an Argiope in my yard.
Wow, lots of interesting spiders! For some reason, I like the golden silk spiders (I call them "Banana spiders") the best...
Haha, I was about to say that I call it a banana spider as well. I was hoping to get a picture of one when I went home, but we only found a GIGANTIC wolf spider.
I don't think I ever saw a wolf spider. I might have, I don't know...
There was a wolf spider in the little boy's room at school... I peed on it and ran.
Pee on a spider? LOL
Yeah, it scared me. It was little bigger than a quarter, so not huge.
No, these are very common in southern USA. What are you talking about? That guy is little.
Are you taking about the Brown Recluse?
No, we have large spiders also in the south east US.
golden silk
Golden argiope
Carolina Wolf common in houses
golden silk
Golden argiope
Carolina Wolf common in houses
Ah, yes! I see what you are talking about. I have seen the all the spiders quite a few times in the forest and the swamps of Louisiana. I very often see the golden silks (I call then "banana spider"), they also make HUGE webs about two feet or more!
Banana spiders are awsome! They start out tiny and shed their exoskelton every week or so until they full size. They also build a trap door into their web. If you poke a banana spider on it's web, it goes straight throught to the other side.
Yeah, I've seen one in the woods before, really cool.
at my cottage, on the docks, we have much larger (dock)spiders than that, their legs, from one side to the other can be up to 5 inches, and they can run on water, but dont think they bite, not like i give them the opportunity if it can be avoided...
Holy crap! That is huge!
Can you post a picture and what are they called? Just dock spiders, right?
Can you post a picture and what are they called? Just dock spiders, right?
i think we have a pic some where of me holding one in like a ziplock tuperware, and it fills the whole thing, and im pretty sure theyr just called dock spiders
Okay, thanks!
P.S big fan of the mini shocker, impossible to solder for me, but still super cool
Thanks! And I am hopefully try sell some of them soon...
id pay for that anyday, hell il take 2 : P how much yougunna charge for each of them?
I am not too sure yet...
Here's a good sized spider I just photographed in the backyard...He's a fighter--missing three legs on one side! Wouldn't want to tangle with him, he looks like a survivor....
Wow! I never seen a spider that is missing legs...
Doesn't seem to miss 'em--judging by his well-fed spider belly.
I bet whatever cost him those legs fared worse...
I bet whatever cost him those legs fared worse...
I don't know what that is. But have you ever heard of the brown recluse spiders? The bites are nasty.
whopped 3 of them in my office in the last month ,around here called fiddle back spiders ,the rock wall off back steps are full of black widow spiders they get nice and fat nether are aggressive as long as they eat the bugs and stay outside is fine with me.
I know why you call them fiddle backs!!!
i store my tools right under the house other day this fiddleback was waiting right inside the door ,scary part?have a terrible infestation of camel crickets under there too and they jump all over the place so that is past freaking out lol
Is that a brown recluse on the book?
yup got plenty of them here how many you need?
Have you ever got bitten by a brown recluse?
No spiders bites, don't think they like the way i taste,wish i could say same for all the bugs around here
Like mosquitoes...
these guys eat the bugs around here we call them wolf spiders ,the morter joint on the wall is 1/2 inch or about 12.5mm .They do not bite people ,and move really fast
That is good to know...
Umm, I would like 0 brown recluses please.
AAHHHH!!! Don't say that spider's name to me again! One of my family member got bitten by one... It is really horrible, and the spider is very tiny. I know quite a lot about those kind of spiders...
Sorry... is your family member okay? I only know like one thing about them. To identify one, you have the violin shaped mark on their head.
Yeah, my family member had recovered from the bite. Boy! I am glad that I am it UK, although, I miss America...
OH WTF! Thats a spider bite jesus christ thats nasty.
I know. Somewhere you can find the time line. From like day 2,3,6,etc.
:O South London, UK! We hae huge spiders! Awwk!!!
Recognize those beasts?
No! I like spiders and whatnot, well looking at them on the net and books, But I am kinda scared of them too :(
Wait a minute, you like spiders and also scared of them?
Sort of.
How odd...
Umm, thats me? ;)
i had one crawling around my home.
Oooo, did you catch it?
yea, but mine was a brown recluse, very poisonous
I've been bitten twice by a brown recluse. It was hiding in my motorcycle jacket. When the weather got cool, and I put it on, he did not appreciate his home being invaded. My bites did not look THAT bad, but they sure hurt (I nearly wrecked the bike!). The spots grew to about the size of a quarter, turned black and peeled off.
I have another thing, the record for the worlds biggest spider species is the Goliath Birdeater spider. They can grow up to 11 inches (28 centimeters)!
Here are a few more:
Species Length
Salmon Pink Birdeater 10.5 in (27 cm)
Slate Red Ornamental 9 in. (23 cm)
King Baboon 8 in. (20 cm)
Colombian Giant Redleg 8 in. (20 cm)

I heard about those spiders, they are huge, but I still find camel spiders more scary... They are even known to kill and eat rats! (I think I might be wrong.)
You don't want to get bitten by one... There jaws are very powerful and can cut your skin as if it was a hot knife trough soft butter...
The bite.
No, seriously, if I had a wound that bled that much (of course with out the venom) I would lick it clean.
You mean you would eat your own muscle if it was coming out like that??!
I guess. I'm like a vampire.
It just weird...
Yummy :D
Have you ever tasted blood before?
LOL! Yes!
I eat cooked cow, chicken, pig, and other meats.
Did you mean human blood?
I eat cooked cow, chicken, pig, and other meats.
Did you mean human blood?
Yeah I meant human blood lol.
Oh, yeah, i sometimes lick my blood of of my injuries, but never had other people's blood... It tastes kinda weird, it tastes a bit metallic, probably due to the iron in the blood.
What happens when you get the camel spiders eggs wet?
I don't know...
I think I have found a larger one in my shed. Neglected, damp, dirt and rotting, I entered the shed and found it high in a corner feasting on all of the insects and other arachnids taking cover from the cold. When I examined it i found that with leg span it was larger than my hand!
Holy crap!!! Can you post a picture?
Unfortunately no, I didn't have my camera at the time. :(
Oh, too bad...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! What is that?
Oh, sorry, that was a bug...
That is a bite from the camel spider...
Here is a picture of a camel spider.
That is a bite from the camel spider...
Here is a picture of a camel spider.
Why are the insides of his arm coming out.
I don't know, I guess that is how their body is built... They are very weird looking spiders...
Ha! I mean the human. : )

What are some ways of avoiding meta-gaming (both as a player and as a GM) within combat. One of the basic decisions in combat is what to use on what, when and where and how to best position yourself to do it.

It is possible that it's not meta-gaming.
In combat a veteran warrior will use all his experience to gain any advantage possible. He would be thinking about: what to use on what, when and where and how to best position himself.
The only difference is how the players/GM are explaining their character. Are they role-playing it, or number crunching it?
In answer to your question: encourage them to role-play it. Use whatever means you have to support the role-playing when it happens.
First of all let's be conscious that avoiding metaplay at all is not impossible bot it's not fun.
Let's take a D&D character. Choosing his feats, his class, even is sex is metaplaying. It's decisions the player takes outside of an in-game knowledge. The only way to avoid it is to let every decision that could be made by knowing how the game mechanically works be a casual outcome.
D&D's "roll six stats, in order" is the prime example of this.
Of course you're not trying to avoit metaplay at this level. You're trying to avoid that, i.e. if the player knows that a monster is vulnerable to an element, the player deals that element damage without his character knowing of the vulnerability. You're putting the players on a spot. They can chose between lightning and fireball, and they get biased if they make the right choice.
The real solution is good game design. While it might not be "realistic" let's have the fireball deal more damage to the vulnerable monster only if the vulnerability is known by the character. This way, there's no out-of-the-game knowledge that could be advantageous to the players.
D&D is a game that behaves very badly to this regards. If I have a fire-vulnerable monster, shouldn't I discover that by fireballing it?
The easy solution is that knowledges of this type are automatic. Don't bother researching them. Avoid monsters with hard to guess, easy to obtain vulnerabilities.
Sticking to D&D, the knowledge devotion feat is a good example of how things should be done. If the knowledge roll is high enough, you get bonuses. No wild guessing, nothing you could do to obtain the bonuses anyway, even if you know everything the players do.
As for good positionig, it's called tactics and it is perfectly fine. If you're the GM and you're bad at tactics (I am too) a game where positioning and timing is not important would be better suited to you.

It seems to me that in order to understand the New Testament you need to Read the Old Testament...so why do some Protestants not read it?

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.
Well, the reasoning is two-fold.
First, most people don't read the Old Testament because most protestant preachers rarely teach from the Old Testament. Because of that, they don't see the need to go over it. (Sad, but I've heard this argument before.)
Secondly, there's the concept that Jesus fulfilled the law and we, therefore, are no longer under the law. This comes from (among other places) here:
Now, since we are no longer the old law, most people find it difficult to directly apply to our lives. If you compare this to the New Testament (particularly the epistles), the utility seems to be dramatically greater in the New Testament.
A correlation to the second part is that anything that we should follow is in the New Testament. The idea is that if it was repeated by the apostles or Jesus, then it is worthy of study; otherwise, it's just extra words to try to absorb that no longer apply.
An example of this:
Acts 15:28-29 (NIV) 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
Here, Paul repeats some commands from the OT. Since they're in the NT, they should be learned. Anything that's not in the NT, can safely be ignored.
OK, don't stone me. I'm not saying this is a valid justification. It's just what I've learned about "some Protestants".

Sean Parker has had a hand in some of the Valley's biggest successes. His first company, Napster, took the world by storm, but didn't make Parker rich. His second, Plaxo, just sold to Comcast. And his third, Facebook — well, say no more. Except for the bit about him getting kicked out, according to Mark Zuckerberg's legal testimony, for a cocaine arrest. (Parker characterized the incident as "a misunderstanding.") That and more is covered in the 21 pages Sarah Lacy devotes to Parker in Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good, new book about Web 2.0. The index page where Parker is listed:
- A is for Adelson, who cofounded Digg

I want to invest in a (decent) pair of earbuds, with a microphone. Suggestions?
Now that I am taking the train at least three times a week to classes, and my commute is anywhere between 40 minutes to an hour, I want to buy some good earbuds that have a microphone. I was inspired by today's deal with the earbuds to look further, and see if you wooters know of any brands/models I should look into. (Please note I am a grad student, which means I am living off my savings until I find a part time job, so no ridiculous prices, please.) Thank you!

skullcandy makes some decent earbuds with mics..they are relatively affordable. i prefer the ink'd series, but i've heard decent things about the smokin' buds line as well.
amazon is pretty good resource to find them, especially if you don't mind purchasing the previous generation of earbuds.
@kfujita: ditto
I have recently switched to Sennheiser's high end headphones from Bose. If you're looking for a something a little nicer, go for Sennheiser's midrange earbuds like these:
Another brand you can check out is Klipsch. Now, I wear over ear headphones and that might be the strong point of these brands, but just some ideas. I'm sure other folks have the lowdown on earbuds.
Other wise, inexpensive options like these http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX1X-Headphone-Xtreme-Xplosivs/dp/B004M8SAJ4/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1346939821&sr=1-3&keywords=earbuds+with+mic have really good reviews.
edit: Do keep in mind that if you decide to buy higher end headphones, be sure you are buying from a legit authorized dealer (like direct from Amazon) to make sure a.) you get real headphones and b.) you don't void the warranty
I grabbed a pair of Altec Lansing buds a while back and they're awesome. I must have some really oddly shaped ears, because they're the second paid of buds I've EVER found that actually stay in my ear. I also like that the cord is braided; makes it far more resilient to wear and almost impossible to tangle. They don't have a mic though.
So clearly that brand gets my stamp of approval, but I'm going to guess that you don't have the same problem with fitting as I do.
I've personally had poor experience with Skullcandy buds. The rubber used for the buds was EXTREMELY cheap. Honestly more like plastic than rubber.
Within the same price range, you're not likely to find any major difference in sound quality. If you can find something that will be comfortable and durable, I'd say go for it.
How about these........
Earbuds as an investment?
They'll never appreciate in value so that's a pretty horrible investment to make.
I'd recommend buying into a mutual fund instead.
What device/phone are you using ? If you are looking at microphone only and not button control you can get JBuds for around 30 bucks on Amazon and they have a lifetime warranty Jbuds will just send you a new pair if they stop working even if its just one ear.
If you want remote + mic then SkullCandy is what I use.
If you want just Mic not control then you could go with inkd series/MIc 2 is what they call it. Mic 3 is the remote plus microphone. They run between 50- 65 however usually if you go and chat on their website they will give you a 10% off code.
Before I needed the full microphone control I did Jbuds because they were cheaper but after I needed that full mic control Jbuds let me down and I ended up going to skullcandy.
They also have a lifetime warranty. They do a great job and while it costs you return shipping to get the new pair it works out. Though skull candy will give you a coupon code for vale of what you spent rather than a new pair (if you got them on a good deal this might mean you need a bit more to get another pair again) they also have a wear discount eg trade in a pair I broke because I stepped on it washed it whatever they give you a 50% off code when you trade them in.
You can buy either on Amazon if it's cheaper which sometimes it is and then register them and warranty still applies
Dont let my detailed knowledge of their warranties imply they arent good solid make. Most people I know have never used it.
Long story short I have been killing earbuds for 10 years My usage patters are just really rough on them for some reason. My kid sisters have the same problem so I have helped them do their warranty exchanges as well ...
Of the brands I've used, Sennheiser and Razer have been the most durable. Shure's have been downright terrible, breaking within a month or two, losing all their "goo" that help them isolate noise, and requiring replacement... gave up on them. Great sound, but positively terrible build. Skullcandy's tend to be bass heavy and die pretty quickly, at least below the $50 threshold. Bose I'm neutral on.
@djbowman: Could you link to the jbuds with the lifetime warranty? The ones I see have a limited 1 year warranty. I use cheaper earbuds for home use and exercise but I go through them like water. Would be awesome to get a pair with a good warranty.
@meh3884: I may be mistaken now that I think about it maybe it is 1 year rather than lifetime. Chalk that up to the other diffrence between the two.
@crowsnest: Dang! you beat me to it by 6 hours!
@kfujita: ebay has skullcandy full metal jacket earbuds right now for 60% off just got mine for my iphone and they rock
I have two pairs of Klipsch in ear headphones... paid $99.99 for these two years ago and have never hed anyu issues.. these are pretty cheap at $65 on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-S4i-Premium-Noise-Isolating-3-Button/dp/B00264GYMG/ref=sr_1_sc_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1359332995&sr=1-2-spell&keywords=klipscu
Amazon also has these on sale sometimes for $75, excellent passive noise isolation best I've ever used! Better then Bose active noise isolation IMHO. No mic though :/ http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Image-X10-Noise-Isolating-Earphone/dp/B000WAHFBK/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1359333064&sr=1-4&keywords=klipsch

Here's How Your Next Sunscreen Purchase Can Help Underprivileged Families
Gabrielle Union teams up with Neutrogena for their Buy 1 + Donate 1 program
By now you know enough about the skin damage sun exposure causes to sneak in extra SPF whenever you can -- whether it's investing in makeup with SPF or slathering on sunscreen every time you head outside. But for families just making ends meet, if the choice is between putting food on the table and buying sunscreen, well, let's just say a rumbling stomach usually wins out.
That's why Neutrogena started the Buy 1 + Donate 1 program to "fill the gap for families in economically depressed areas who may not otherwise have access to [sun products]," says brand ambassador, actress Gabrielle Union.
Union, who in her childhood years, was not big on sunscreen, says a strange mole on her cheek was her wake-up call. "It turned out to be nothing, but I started educating all of my friends and family about wearing sunscreen," Union says.
"I think, too, it's a huge misconception that the more melanin (the darker your skin is) you have, the less your risk for skin cancer," Union says. "And that's simply not true. And because of that, it's really a silent killer for a lot of people of color."
Through the end of July, every time you purchase a Neutrogena product with SPF, the company will donate one to a family who otherwise wouldn't have access to sun products.
"The truth is, everyone is at risk for sun damage," Union says. "And for people to not have access to sunscreen, in my book, is not an option."

July & August Update
Summer Transfer Window Update
Im happy with my transfer dealings I feel we have a squad capable of staying up. I still need a right back, we have made a good start to season 4 points from 9
Nice - screenshots of your two big signings, both attributes and career, would be great! If its not too much to ask
they are posted on the previous page mate
Very much enjoying your career. Keep it up!
Looking over the history of the premier league since this save started the highest points total anyone has been relegated with is 38. so my target is to get to 40.
Lets hope you get to the magic 40 quick and you get more to push on
400 game mark,
Novelli Update
Whilst at Rimini earlier in my save I had a Youth prospect who i made captain at 16 years of age,
Since then he has gone on to play in the champions league with Benfica.
Novelli @ Rimini
Novelli Now
Novelli Career so far
Its nice to see a player who I thought at potential in the bottom division of Italy has made it to the top.
Some nice signings there.
I had a 20+ year career managing Bristol City on FM11, loved it!
Good luck for the season ahead
November and December update
Results have gone against us in this busy period and we have now slid down the table.
So as a result I have moved on a few players
and brought in a few to strengthen the team
I finally got a Right back that I've needed, Also brought in another Centre back which I broke the club record transfer for as Caulker needed a better partner and Centre midfielder Camucho was an experienced free signing and 2 Strikers as mine arent scoring enough.
Hopefully results will start to pick up again with the freshing of the squad
Looks like very good investment.
Still plenty of time left to dig yourself out the relegation zone. Its not like your well adrift either.
Doeseb has been a great signing so far update coming later
Transfers in the players
The right back i have needed, Massive potential
Young striker was top scorer in championship by january so i took a gamble he could do it at this level
Bristol Citys biggest transfer ever! Hardly played at liverpool but looks solid and I needed another centre back who was prem standard to partner Caulker
Had my scouts raving and turnt chelsea down for me, Hoping he can fire us to safety!
Further Transfer News
Sold another player
Bought him on a free in a summer and hasnt made the grade. Made a profit though
Brought two more in
My two backup keepers are nowhere near prem standard so I brought him in and started him every game since and hes keeping Bransecu out with fine performances
I needed a back up for alex chamberlain as he has played every game and needs a rest.
I like Albanesi and Doeseb .
January Update
As you can see Doeseb has started brilliantly with 7 goals in 5 games and is already my top scorer for the season. The new players have strengthen the squad, Vissing has been a rock in goal, Oliveria and Albansei have gone into the back 4 with Caulker and Muric and it seems tighter and Doeseb has been a star already I hope he keeps it up. Milesi and Kelly has both become squad players. Ive spent alot of money this season but on young players so I hope we stay up and the players progress so we dont need to spend much more
I see Leicester is gonna break the record for lowest points in EPL season.
looks that way, Forest arent doing much better
He looks a beast.
Great read so far, you've started off well in the Premier League
Two International Jobs Turnt down
Got too big of a relegation battle to focus on
Feb 2021 Review
round up
As you can see Doeseb didnt score as much this month which resulted in 3 losses, Kelly and Nielsen popped up with 1 each but I dont seem to have another striker who scores a handful if Doeseb doesnt
Top Scorers so Far & their Apperances
March 2021
Another 2 defeats but we are on 31 points, I think 9 points will secure our safety
You should survive comfortably mate!
Doeseb out for 3 weeks
Future transfer agreed for a striker to partner Doeseb next season. Made his england debut this year scored 3 in 4 internationals
Don't really rate him that much myself, I prefer more technical ability, even if its generally.
ENGLISH!ENGLISH! He must have foreign descent !
April 2021 Update
Safety is secured! Which was the aim, 4 games remain just gotta see if we can move any higher now for abit of money. Looking towards next season now. We Spent alot of money this season so not expecting much movement in the summer we need a striker and a back up centre back and back up right back and that will be business done unless we find a diamond. The striker is already tied up so happy with that
Well done on survival.
Really well done on pulling away from the drop zone, you made some really good signings there.
Hopefully you can kick on now next season.
Transfers update
January transfer signing Chris Milesi hasnt made the grade so I needed another Right midfielder to challenge Chamberlain so I swooped for Polish Right winger Leszek Sikora for £2million.
Trying to get all my transfers done nice and early. Movements made for two other players ill bring the news to you if confirmed.
Oscar Devereux Signs from West Ham United
Another Striker will be joining us in the summer
We should now have the strikeforce to score us the goals to move us up the league.
Devereux will join Doeseb, Nielsen, Kelly and Cheng.
A lot better signings.
May Results & Final League Table

Good season mate. You have some cracking players joining you to.
Transfers so far this summer
Cracking read
Nice to see you easily survive your first season in the Prem with Bristol City
Well done on a great season at Bristol City.
Is Cheng Chun Yin half Taiwanese?
I Know i said nothing else would be coming in but West brom paid the £5.5million needed to meet Sean Murray's Minimum Release fee so I needed a replacement and I tried to sign Bocias last summer but he rejected me so I tried again and he signed for £5million. I think he looks a better player and i made £500k from the two deals.
Great finish, and a great win against Man City. Good luck for next season.
Accepted my first international job, hope it goes ok
Nice little job. Good luck with the Aussies .
Thanks guys
Congrats on taking over the Aussies, good job that one.
Some good signings there, good luck down under.
August 2021 Update
League Table
Great start to the season 4 games 4 wins and Cheng has started on fire.
Lets hope we can continue this way
Summer Transfer Window Closed
I made a post a while back about my 17year old captain from Rimini who was now playing champions league football at benfica, he was transfer listed so I swooped in for him and he stated he was joining because of me
We didnt need much, just about of quality, signed 2 strikers to give us a quality strike force, a Right midfielder to challenge Chamberlain, then the rest was about adding depth until Novelli became available then I added him too. I would love to get into europa or win carling cup
Bit of movement there, lets hope it works out
You paid how much for Cheng!!!!
It was alot BUT hes scored 5 in first 4 games
Sept 2021
League Table
News Item
Aussie Update
Another good month in the league, we let in a 89" goal against west ham which was a bit of a kick in the nuts but we are still unbeaten which if we are honest is way better than expected, knocked out by Man Utd in the cup (expected) And my 100th Bristol City game ended with 3 points. First Venture into international management 3 games 3 losses but all against bigger countries in the world of football. Already qualified for the world cup so just got to wait for that to come around.

Going well to celebrate the milestone.
Pretty harsh defeats internationally, would have though you'd have got more against Denmark especially being at home.
Oct 2021
Just noticed i forgot to add scorers for sept and oct so here they are
Nice start to the season.
International Update
Stood down
Stood down because i wasnt getting any results and I wasnt enjoying it, plus was taking too much attention away from city
That's what usually happenes to me when I have two jobs. Managing a club is way more interesting.
Don't blame you for standing down, I don't find it easy to enjoy international management at all.
It can drag things on a little bit.
November & December 2021 Update
Starting to have dreams about Europe?
Europa maybe not champions league
Both still in Europe
You can still do CL qualification.
Transfer update
Last january I signed Dennis Vissing as back up keeper for 975k, He ended up playing most of the games for the rest of the season but this season hes second choice again so when Reggina came in with a £8.5m bid I was happy to let him go, a massive profit of just over 7.5m
I quickly swooped for experienced back up goalkeeper for £900k
Fantastic season so far with some great results!
Good deal on Vissing.
You'll be glad he's 35, his name certainly is a mouth full. (and no, that's not what she said)
Keep it up. Champions League football is possible!
January 2022 Update
Transfer Window Update
Media Reports suggested Juventus were about to make a £32m bid for Bransecu so when i saw Butland was transfer listed I swooped for him fast, but the bid never came so I have 2 quality keepers. two loan signings are full back cover and the Signing of Sloth is for the future hes a 16 year old Dm
Matthews asked for contract termination so i agreed that, Vissing was a great deal for the club we got two replacements for cheaper, Morrice and Gueye have struggled to break into 1st team so iv let them go out on loan and da silva had 6 months left on his deal and was nowhere near 1st team so i sold him.
Another strong month its getting mental now We are overachieving so much
Even if we slip up and finish 10th its been a great season
Still close but you've had an amazing first half of the season.
yeah, 3 defeats and im 9th
Doing great with city, hopefully you can keep up the good form.
fingers crossed mate, going for the fa cup too
Deal tied up for summer
Reinforce our central defence, Albanesi and Caulker are my main two but beyond that I have nothing so Marcao will make us stronger
Feb 2022 Update
Just ticking along keeping up the pace, starting to dream of champions league football and a return to European competition for me for the first time in 4 years
Well done challenging at the top, a huge difference from your earlier years. Marcao looks class.

WHEELING - Local authors have highlighted unique aspects of Wheeling's history - including its heritage as a river town and a Great Depression-era radio show that achieved national fame - in new works of both fiction and nonfiction.
Several years of work by Wheeling residents Lee Kelvington and Baird Kloss have resulted in the book, "It's Wheeling Steel," a compilation of photos, documents and commentary related to the radio show of the same name. It celebrates what began as one company's experiment in creative advertising and eventually became the fifth most popular program on NBC Radio, serving as a morale booster during World War II for troops overseas and those on the home front.
"It's Wheeling Steel" debuted on Nov. 8, 1936, in the midst of the Great Depression, when the company's advertising director, John Grimes, decided it would be cheaper to produce a weekly half-hour radio show than advertise on the back cover of the "Saturday Evening Post." The musical variety show, performed at the Capitol Theatre and broadcast over WWVA-AM, was an instant hit locally and helped develop camaraderie among the steelworkers.
As the steelworking musicians' show was picked up by NBC in 1941 and became increasingly popular, the program received a great deal of positive press from national publications such as Life magazine, which is well documented in the book, compiled by the nonprofit Wheeling Big Band Society Inc.
"It is truly unique ... particularly the fact that it originated in a little town like Wheeling," Kelvington said of the radio show. "This program was during an era when 'coast-to-coast' really meant something."
One of the show's most unique aspects, Kelvington said, was the quality and depth of its amateur talent. All of the show's performers throughout its eight-year run were Wheeling Steel employees and their family members, some of whom had the opportunity to make a living in music.
"Some of the ladies turned down those opportunities to be housewives, which is something you wouldn't necessarily see today," he said.
Copies of "It's Wheeling Steel" are available at the Wheeling Artisan Center Gift Shop, the Words & Music Bookshop at Stratford Springs and the Kruger Street Toy and Train Museum. Wheeling Symphony Orchestra Executive Director Bruce Wheeler designed the cover, and the Wheeling National Heritage Area Corp. assisted with the book's production.
Meanwhile, Wetzel County native Chuck Clegg has written "Return of the Gunboat," a work of fiction set against the backdrop of the Ohio River in 1895. Clegg has brought his fictional characters to life in a tale of adventure and intrigue using the history of the time.
The story follows Capt. Jack Dulin as he and his crew set out on what they believe to be a routine job on the river. But events soon spin out of control as Dulin tries to find answers, avoid danger and manage a love interest that comes into his life.
"Return of the Gunboat" brings to life what Clegg imagines life may have been like along the river in the late 1800s. Wheeling, an industrial giant of the time, is home to several of the characters in the story.
Clegg compares his storytelling to that of a modern-day Mark Twain, with a rich imagination and love of the people who lived and worked the Ohio River. He noted he grew up playing in creeks and streams that fed into the Ohio, and man's attempt to tame the river has been among his chief historical interests.
The book's cover, which incorporates an image of the Wheeling Suspension Bridge, was designed and created by local artist Earl Yost. "Return of the Gunboat" is available at the Wheeling Artisan Center as well as The Book Store and Witschey's Market in New Martinsville. It also is available for sale online.

I have a SteelSeries QcK mousepad (cloth), and I've notice that it's been getting dirtier and dirtier from regular use. What would be the best way to clean this using common household cleaning supplies?
First, I'd say figure out what the manufacturer recommends, and make sure you're not doing something to void your warranty.
Since it's cloth, and likely much of the crud is oil-based from your skin, I'd recommend a mild detergent, like what you'd use in the washing machine. Get it wet and rub a tiny bit of detergent into it, then rinse thoroughly and set on a rack or hang to dry. If you're concerned about damaging it, use a detergent designed for gentle cycles. Woolite is a brand that's pretty commonly available in the US, but it will probably vary wherever you are.
Cold water should be enough, and shouldn't damage your pad.

Every OpenId provider has a provider Url (e.g Google: https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id)
OpenIdRelyingParty.CreateRequest I successfully managed to redirect the user to Google provider Url and receive the provider callback. Everything worked fine.
Now I'm trying to implement my own simple OpenId provider (I want to act as Google on my example). DotNetOpenAuth has a provider demo called OpenIdProviderWebForms. For the last 4 or 5 hours I've been tryng to connect to it using the same demo I managed to connect on Google. First: It's not clear to me what URL should I call. I tried all Urls (server.aspx, provider.ashx...) and all of them trigger an exception "No OpenID endpoint found". All the configurations seems to be just fine.
How do I implement a simple OpenId provider? What URL should I call in the

How do you correctly soften butter for spreading on bread? Is it simply a matter of leaving it at room temperature for a few hours, or do tools like butter conditioners do a better job?
If you want to turn your cold butter spreadable quickly, patience is about your only option. You can try microwaving it very briefly, and maybe on the "defrost" setting, but you run a strong risk of melting it too much.
If I'm thinking of the same thing you are, a butter conditioner is really just a unit that allows you to keep your butter in the fridge but still keep it closer to room temp--so that's more about storage than turning hard butter into spreadable butter on the spot.
A storage option that allows you to keep your butter fresh for a pretty long period, but still leave it out on the counter so it's soft, is a butter bell. You can look them up online--many shops have them. It's basically an inverted cup that sits inside a larger one with a little water at the bottom. The butter is packed into the inverted cup and stays put when you place the cup so the edges are under the water in the other cup. The water keeps air out so the butter stays fresh even at room temperature. You could do the same thing by mashing a bunch of butter into a teacup, then setting it upside down in a saucer full of water. If it's too hot in your house, though, the butter will slip out of the inverted cup, so I mostly only use our butter bell in the winter.
One thing to note about butter itself: Some butters are more spreadable at cooler temperatures. The Irish and French butters we can get here are much closer to spreadable at refrigerator temperatures than the regular US supermarket brands. I'm not sure what the difference is, though.
Chopping the butter will definitely make it soften quicker, but I find the easiest way to spread butter straight from the fridge is to fill a cup with hot water and dip the knife in it : )
I agree with Bikeboy's answer, my mom uses a butter bell and loves it. I've come up with a way to soften butter though that seems to work out pretty well and is quick. I buy the short little stubby stucks of butter, put them on end in the Microwave and zap them for 5 seconds at a time. Each rotation in the microwave, I flip it over. It usually only takes 10 seconds, but sometimes I flip and go a few extra seconds. Oh yeah, and I do this IN the wrapper, you can feel the butter getting soft.
This process helps avoid the hot spots and gives a more even softening. Though the ends do stay a little bit harder than the middle, at least it doesn't seem to melt at all. Just don't hit the minute button and forget to flip it or you'll have a mess.
If your using salted butter, I recommend just storing it in a butter dish outside the fridge.
Butter has very little water and quite a bit of salt so difficult for it to become rancid.
Chopping it up will help, but will still need some time for preparation and waiting.
What I do is to use a fine-toothed serving knife for spreading the butter. Instead of cutting off a piece, I use the teeth to rasp butter off the surface of the butter stick. I end up with a very thin bunched-up butter sheet on the knife, which can be spread easily at uniform thickness on the toast.

All the guides I've read on installing Ubuntu to an external drive strongly recommend unplugging the internal drive before installation. Is there a way around this? I have a Macbook Pro, and I'd really prefer not having to open and take my SSD out.
Given the flexibility of Linux, I would imagine there's a way to ignore the internal drive during the installation.
And I'd at least be interested in the explanation why this isn't possible, if that's the case :)

New Orleans Plans Bid for Another Super Bash
Super Bowl XLVII will mark the 10th time that New Orleans has staged the game. A little under a week before kickoff, the city is already making plans for No. 11.
New Orleans plans to bid for the 2018 Super Bowl, city officials announced Monday, in a move that would see the city host the game in the same year that it celebrates its 300th anniversary.
"I know the Saints have talked to the rest of the ownership about that," said Jay Cicero, the executive director of the Super Bowl host committee. "If we are invited to bid—and the NFL has to invite you to bid—than that process will start in October."

Color of Victory Bath Still Remains Unclear
If you're looking to make a wager on something other than the winning team during the Super Bowl, bookmakers offer wacky prop bets. One wager is on the color of the Gatorade (or liquid) that will be dumped on the winning team's coach.
Clear/water is currently the favorite in the wagering at 7-to-4, according to online sports book Bovada. This was what Giants coach Tom Coughlin was doused with last year after his team won the Super Bowl. Orange and yellow are the co-second choices at 5-to-2, while green, red and blue are the long-shots at 13-to-2.
Savvy bettors doing their research will note that the Harbaugh brothers might prefer yellow. Ravens coach John was showered in yellow after winning the AFC championship, as was 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh when San Francisco clinched its playoff spot in December.
