Colorado touches the sky, we know, it requires loads of sunblock for protection.
Listing all the reasons vacationing in Colorado is a good thing is nothing compared to riding a chair lift cresting over a peak , marveling at the blue sky as the view steals your breath. The blue of this sky without pollution or clouds can only be experienced.
A most impressive natural attraction as the Rocky Mountains cannot be missed in a lifetime. This is one of the best reasons people visit or live here. Luckily we are surrounded by other natural features, events and activities creating a winter wonderland for families.
Residing here for 21 years hasn't dulled my awe for the immense size of the Rockies or how each area of Colorado is known for different terrain and experiences unique to that region. The variety of characteristics makes Colorado worth visiting every year or twice a year to see winter and summer.
For families, Colorado keeps children active and parents satisfied. Yes, we have the skiing, and it is the best in the world, and yes we are biased, but who cares, we love it here! Read The Secrets out about Vail Mountain from the Locals.
So what else can we tempt families with for fun? Events of every type for instance. Outdoor events like Concerts and ski and snowboarding events. Seriously, we have libraries that are full of indoor warm fun for kids! The Town of Vail Public Library has story hours, DVD rentals, computers and a warm fire. Visit our events page for up to date events for your visit.
Water is everywhere; the best winter options are hot tubs in most hotels and condos but if you need to expand your use of water try the Avon Recreation center, killer water slide for starters and festive kiddie area. Parents there is water in wine and beer, and there are plenty of places for you to wet your whistle.
Read Dining out with your family blogs: moisture for kids and parents.
Other outdoor activities like Nordic Skiing, snow shoeing, Snowmobiling, sleigh rides, Ice skating are all offered. Ice skating at Solaris is perfect for families because the kids can go wild and the adults have several options in that area. Parents can have a deliciously brewed cup of coffee from a locally owned coffee shop, Yeti's. PS they serve beer and wine, as well.
There is also a movie theater Cinebistro where eating and drinking in the theater are encouraged and served. If that's not enough, go Bowling at Bol. See, it's perfect for families. If you must buy a fur or art you can do that all while keeping an eye on the kids.
You like history try the Colorado Ski Museum in Vail Village. It's free to go in and see the history. Great Colorado and skiing gifts for poor friends and family who couldn't join you on vacation.
Last year, Vail celebrated it's 50th year and they have a fascinating movie about Vail's 50 years- definitely a must see while you are at the museum. Read Changes to Colorado's ski resorts
We've only sampled a few quick, family fun ideas that popped into our head, but you can explore the website for more ideas and email us if you have questions.
Vail and Beaver Creek is where the mountain is located, but some of the best activities, outside of skiing are located in the surrounding communities.
All other activities are listed on our website. Make sure, you look in the coupon section for deals and discounts.
Mom's if you want to go shopping at the Silverthorne outlets we have a coupon for transportation. We have a massage coupon, as well!

John Rowan, incoming Department of Job and Family Services director, is pictured with his wife, Colleen, and son Michael.
The commissioners recognized Rowan's skills and abilities, adding that his personal concern for the people his department helps is among his most important qualifiers.
"The compassion to the public you have served, that's what sold me on you," said Commissioner Charles R. Probst, Jr. "You're going to be a great fit, and we look forward to helping you move the Department of Job and Family Services into the future."
"You hit every point we were looking for," said Commissioner Ginny Favede, pointing out his leadership qualities and the responsibility of the position. "Job and Family Services provides a safety net to the society that is Belmont County on many, many different levels."
Judge Mark Costine, lead judge of the Oakview Center, noted Rowan's accomplishments at the facility.
"He has done a fantastic job and as sad as the board is to lose a very good person like him, we're very happy for him and their decision to hire him, and we know he'll do an excellent job," he said.
Rowan noted that he is looking forward to taking on the role for the county and strengthening the organization for the future.
"I am very excited and appreciative of the opportunity to be part of such a special organization," Rowan said. "I look forward to meeting and working with the staff, and I know that together we will enhance the services the organization provides to the public."
He added that the department will continue to address the specific needs of the county, including family requiring financial assistance, those families going through domestic troubles, and children in need of the resources the department can provide.
Rowan said he has been working with outgoing Director Dwayne Pielech on the transition process.
"I've had the opportunity to speak to Mr. Pielech, and he's been very helpful so far," Rowan said, adding that he hoped to continue to have an open dialogue with him until he took on the position. He added that he will also continue to acquaint himself with the staff and organization so that he can enhance the programs and initiatives in place.
"I'm very confident that we have the people in place that we can continue to make a positive difference in the lives of those that need assistance in Belmont County," he said.
He added that he has continued to meet with commissioners as well.
During prior meetings, guests have inquired about the need for a status report to outline the current state of the department and its future plans.
"Any type of position like this you want transparency, you want people to feel confident that the services that you are providing are open, and they are able to have confidence in what you're doing as an agency. I think that our operations as we go forward will reflect that. We want people to feel that they have confidence in our department, that we're doing the things that are needed to help those that need assistance, and we're basically in a position that we're offering the best services out there," he said.
"I treat everyone with respect and courtesy and I'm very confident that our organization will continue to exhibit that, and going forward, this will be an organization that the citizens of Belmont County will be very proud of."

The girls and boys track teams from Carmi-White County Middle School didn't let a little mist get in their way Monday, March 11 as track practice got underway for their upcoming seasons. The kids ran from the middle school and met up with coaches at the high school track to work on some techniques for their events in field and track.
The groups worked on numerous track drills, including lunges, "Peter Pan" jumps, high knee steps and straight running sprints.
Following work at the high school facility, the teams ran back to the middle school, completing their day of practice.
Both teams will begin their 2013 track seasons Tuesday, April 9. The teams will face Norris City-Omaha for a home meet. In all, the team will have six regular meets, including the NEC Conference meet April 29. The state tournament, which included three CWCMS students last year, is slated for May 11.
Janes Smith competed in the 100 meter dash last year at state along with River "Levi" Jordan in running and Tony Jackson in the shot put. Jordan and Jackson are freshman at CWCHS this year. Smith is back in action on the girls' team.

I made a comment to Larisa's comment on my post that made me think about when I use certain abilities and cooldowns.
I thought I would share some and I am interested in yours. I know that circumstances and environment (raid, grinding, PvP) influence when and how you might use these skills, so I am interested in different uses and perspectives.
Speak up!
Enemy territory
You can use your Invisibility at 1 or 2 moments.
- In the initial rush to get past the front guards, or
- Once you are past the guards to elude "capture" (Why don't they take prisoners?)
The advantage of 1 is that if you have enough Invisibility juice you can get in unnoticed, and maybe find a place to wait out your cooldown.
However I would recommend the 2nd one.
Shield up, Mount up, ride like the wind past the guards.
Those that you don't outrun can be Frost Nova'd to give you another 100 yards, with maybe the occasional Blink to avoid the hits.
When you reach a safe "hiding" place, whether that's your end destination or a good point to stop and regroup, hit Invisibility.
Assuming it was only NPCs following you, they will reset and you can have a breather before the next steps.
This is particularly useful if you do reach your destination…
- The mobs will reset allowing you to grab the quest in peace.
- If any PC's happen to wander by at about that moment, then they might not see you reach the destination, giving you an extra 10 seconds to complete your covert operations.
30%, 50%, 70%, wipe avoidance?
An oldy but a goody.
While preparing for next trash pull, pop invisibility, and run in and dance with the (hopefully not stealth detecting) mobs. You don't appear invisible to your party members, so there is a good chance they will rush in to help.
Slow Fall
Knock up a macro that dismounts you and casts Slow Fall. Replace your current Slow Fall button with the macro. Now you can ride and jump, knowing when you hit the Slow Fall button it will cast with out issues.
For greater distance, cast Slow Fall, mount up, run and jump off the cliff. This will get you from the Lumbermill to the Blacksmith, or the Black smith to the Mine in Arathi Basin.
Of course now new and improved with more fun for the whole family. Why try to solo the assault on the blacksmith when you can Slow Fall your whole party and do some synchronized skydiving.
- To shed Aggro (poor healers)?
- To remove dots/curses etc?
- To round up the mobs for your AoE assault?
Do you block and stay the full duration in the hope the enemy will forget about you, or do you instantly unblock and let rip?
Mana pots
- Mana pot or health pot?
- At the beginning of the fight or as a last resort?
- Do you chew through them like lollies when grinding to reduce downtime?
Healing pot/Healthstone
Do you trust your pocket healers, or are you the first to drop your pot or health stone?
Mana Gem
- Pop them every cooldown?
- Recreate them during battle so you can last that little bit longer?
- Wish you could hand them around?
It used to be pot, gem, evocate, pot, gem etc…
Now with the one pot per fight policy, and shorter cooldown, do you evocate 1st?
Do you do it every cooldown rather than stopping for a drink?
Do you have a Glyph of Evocation for the health regen as well?
Dragon's Breath
Is this in your grinding rotation, cast till the mob is close, dragon's breath, scorch, then finish it off with a little puff of wind from your cheeks?
Do you heedlessly charge the AoE pack and Dragon's breath just to prod an instant Flame Strike (and regret it when the pack turns it's attention to you)?
Blast Wave
Are you a purist that loves the chaos of the knockback (like me, I love the chaos that fire brings), or are you following the line and Glyphing the knockback away?
Trinket – Damage
- Do you save your trinket for rainy days?
- Do you pop your trinket before the tank has aggro just so you can use it 2 or 3 times in a fight?
Trinket – Medallion of the Alliance/Horde
You do have one don't you?
They give them away like party favours these days. You used to have to fight for them, not anymore.
- Do you remember to use it?
- Is it in the bank for a rainy day/ just gathering dust?
Escape Artist
- Do you remember to use this?
- Did you even drag it out of your spellbook?
Keep it till the end to maximize those last 20 seconds, or pop it up front for the promise of an instant Pyro?
Glyph of the Penguin
- Did you bother?
- What was wrong with the sheep?
- Don't you wish you could have sheep & penguin?
New polymorphs
- Cash burning a hole in your pocket?
- Just can't imagine being the wicked witch of the North without a black cat?
- Got a phobia of Snakes that you just need to get off your chest?
Don't can't we grab some vellum, drape it around the critter of your choice and add the Glyph of the "Cow" instead?
What did I miss?
What other tricks do you have up your sleeve (no not that one, that's got Aces and Kings, try the other sleeve)?
Gnomer and Out!
PS: Thanks to rpgoutfitter.com for making all the WoW icons available for download!
PPS: Those of you that Scoff at Blizzard for occasionally giving us new icons without any other apparent buffs), just consider that of the 5 icons for Mage abilities above, 4 are considered to be the icon for something else. Even the Gnome Racial Escape Artist icon belongs to someone else…

Does every floor contain a secret room (entered via bombed wall or having X-Ray Specs), including the Womb and Sheol?
Yes. (I say this with the experience of always going to the secret room if I have bombs to spare, and having beaten Sheol dozens of times.)
I can personally confirm that every floor from the Womb up has secret rooms. I made it into Hell only once, though, so I don't know about that. I'll see if I can find anything to back up my statement.
EDIT: No 100% confirmation, but looking in the Steam forums, it's taken as a given that secret rooms show up in the Womb. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=28869410&postcount=7
Yes. The Secret Room is a special room type. One secret room will appear on every floor in the game and will have a pre-determined location when the floor is spawned.
The Secret room cannot be entered normally; ways to enter include:
Ways to identify the Secret room on the map include:
The secret room is typically placed adjacent to three or four other adjacent rooms, often adjacent to a Treasure Room if possible. If applicable, the Secret Room will always have preference over three adjacent rooms to two rooms. This preferrence does not occur when comparing three adjacent rooms to four adjacent rooms.
v1.48: Yes & No. On rare occasions only the Top Secret/Hidden Room will be generated, due to the specific rules used for Secret Room placement. So there will always be a (Top) Secret/Hidden Room but not always a Secret Room, except on the first two levels Basement/Cellar where the map will be redrawn until there is a Secret Room.
I've had this twice personally when I had enough bombs (30-99) to bomb every wall. If you've found the TSR/HR, and the SR is not next to it and is not in any location that borders at least two rooms, you can stop there, as the Secret Room is never placed such that it borders only one room (only TSR/HR is).
If you have a Moon card, using it in this situation will teleport you to a random room instead of the Secret Room. Also there are various items that reveal the location of the Secret Room when you possess or activate them, if there is no Secret Room then one won't be revealed.

Nothing wrong with PSV that I can see, other thatn them being 4th n now like 8points behind first. Euro cup tie was crazy well done Al-Sadd. Just need to push on for the league! Cumon PSV
I thought malaga were starting to close in on the top, fallen back behind now. going to have to right this season off and come back stronger next.
well done to al-sadd, hopefully that can push on and put san marino on the map in europe.
Should have an update for you guys tonight hopefully
Anji News
The Anji board have given up hope on Hiddink, and have decided the new man to take the team forward is Sidnei Lobo.
A relatively unknown name, but one that will hopefully bring stability to a club that needs to be challenging for the title.
hey guys is there any room to join the game now. Thanks.
There are two more updates to go, I'm currently working on one.
Season 2 Update - April
Campionato Super League
League Table: Big news at the top of the league as PSV, Napoli and Olympiakos have finally overtaken Al-Sadd. PSV take top spot and are 4 points clear of the rest after a brilliant month! Napoli are 1 point ahead of both Olympiakos and Al-Sadd, whilst Olympiakos are ahead of Al-Sadd on goal difference. Al-Sadd have had an extremely rough month, picking up just 2 points out of a possible 15! With the final month approaching, up next, we can now see who the contenders are for a European spot, with FC Twente and Fulham in an able position to move into 3rd or 2nd, whilst Anji have an outside chance. Anyone below Anji will be looking towards next year as their chance, apart from Bologna and Gladbach obviously, who have their Coppa Titano Final to play out on the 29th of the coming month. It is extremely close yet again at the bottom of the league with Colo Colo in last place on 36 points, whilst River (21st), Aston Villa (20th) and Newcastle United (19th) are all on 37 points!
League Team Stats
In Form Team: Ajax have had a sensational month and it was definately not the easiest, facing both Al-Sadd and Malaga, beating them 3 - 0 and 3 - 2 respectively. Brilliant stuff which almost guarantees them a spot away from the bottom 4.
Goals For: Olympiakos are still the dominating team when it comes to attacking football and have so far hit a massive 74 goals this season!
Conceded: Napoli are on route to a European spot, whilst fighting with PSV for top spot. This is possibly down to their amazing defence, although this month hasn't been the best for them.
League Player Stats
Average Rating: Lionel Messi is probably guaranteed to be named the best player this season after his continued brilliance on the pitch, currently on an 8.01 average rating over the season!
Goals Scored: Edinson Cavani is back! 17 goals so far in the league and he has the chance to eclipse last season's 22 goals overall! Can he do it?
Assists Made: Marvin Martin has now made 17 assists this season and I wouldn't be suprised if there were no offers for him during the summer!
Europa League Action
Quarter Final 1st Leg: SLB 1 - 0 Al-Sadd
Al-Sadd were completely outplayed in this match and deserved to lose with only 7 shots and 2 on target. The scoreline probably flattered Al-Sadd and they will have a lot of work to do in the second leg, including not conceding an away goal.
Quarter Final 2nd Leg: Al-Sadd 2 - 1 SLB
Al-Sadd were much better in their home game, but the dreaded away goal dumps them out of the Europa League! A bad month now turns into a nightmare for Al-Sadd and their fans!
Game File
Game File Upload: Please make sure everything us up to date and their are no errors with your team, including wage problems.
Active List - There has been no changes since last month.
If you are not on this list yet, then you need to start worrying as we near the end of the season. If your not on this list at the end of the season and fail to post when given the chance, then you will be removed from the game. Here is the current active list...
Code:Ntfbolton1972 NathWalker Toonbalmy87 B101 TWFL Animosama AndyEs Yakutz Jpr 18Rabbit Ri916 Spurs + Eastbourne 4eva Glennuk Kris0710 Babaginoosh
YAAAS PSV! Cumon just need to hold it for the next 4 games! Marcello Lippi you hero
Bad month for Fulham, hopefully we can bring it back in the last 4 games.
Al-Sadd Facilities Announcement
Al-Sadd have today confirmed that they have completed their development of the Al-Sadd Facilities, bringing to the club state of the art Training Facilities! It is believed that this has cost the club in the region of £30,000,000! The Al-Sadd chairman had this to say...
"My aim when taking control of this club was to make it a power house in European Football and I believe that the progress we have made since taking control almost 2 years ago is outstanding. The development of the Stadium and the Facilities within the club were a main priority and I'm very pleased to announce we have reached all of our targets."
With the club recently being dumped out of the Europa League after a Quarter Final away goal defeat to SLB, it is believed they will look to make major improvements to the squad during the summer transfer window!
Sucks that River is getting the tar beaten out of it by people who aren't even here. :P
Look at Gladbach surging up the table! Raul rolling back the years.
Leeds are in freefall down the table
Daamn Damn Damn still in touching distance of a top 8 spot but really just have been good enough this year will be looking to add a few more players next year and get rid of the dead wood
not letting me download the save game
Same as the last updates, mid-table,nothing really happening. after such a promising 1st season this is not what i was expecting
I really need to be getting some more goals in, midtable finish isnt good enough. Looks like i'll be onto my 5th manager in 2 years ;P
Very tight at the bottom there. Need a big month from Newcastle. Should be a very interesting summer all round i expect.
Worked for me
I'm getting the end of season update going right now so the thread for new players could go up tonight!
Looks like Bolton will finish about same as they did last year.
End Of Season Update (April 1st - 6th June)
Campionato Super League
League Table
CHAMPIONS: PSV (Champions League 2nd Qualifying Round)
Runner Up: Al-Sadd (Europa League 2nd Qualifying Round)
3rd Placed: Napoli (Europa League 2nd Qualifying Round)
An amazing season yet again for PSV and their fans as they retain the Campionato Super League and will again enter into the Champions League! Al-Sadd will be gutted (yes I am) that they couldn't hold on to 1st place despite being there for a long period with games in hand and several points above their rivals, but they will be delighted with a 2nd place finish none the less. Napoli stepped off the gas a little bit towards the end, but considering where they were at the start of the season, this is a very good finish and they will enter into the Europa League next season! Leeds United's gamble on Lionel Messi paid off in terms of personal performances for the little wizard, but in team performances it was an absolute nightmare! They are now stuck with over £120,000,000 of debt and could struggle for some time now. Down at the bottom of the table, Colo Colo finally ended the questions and provided the answer as to who would come last! Newcastle United will be disappointed after a positive start under their new manager a few months ago, but were unable to keep up the pressure and folded this month to end in 21st place.
League Team Stats
In Form Team: Aston Villa made a late push in the final month to pick up some extra end of season prize money. They had winning results against Al-Sadd, Malaga and FC Twente recently!
Goals For: Universidad De Chile picked up 1st place, but Olympiakos were joint, both on 77 goals! Al-Sadd came close behind with 74 goals.
Conceded: FC Twente finished the season as the team known for their defensive prowess! They only conceded 45 goals this campaign and the nearest teams to them were Napoli (47) and PSV (49).
League Player Stats
Average Rating: Lionel Messi as anticipated picked up the Average Rating award with an amazing 8.06 average rating through the season! Amazing stuff by the Argentine master.
Goals Scored: Edinson Cavani has done it again! He will pick up his 2nd consecutive Golden Boot award this season with 19 goals in total! Kolbeinn Sigporsson and Luis Suarez were the nearest to Cavani with 17 goals apiece.
Assists Made: Marvin Martin is officially the best creative player in the league with a massive 18 assists this season! He has been amazing for the PSV side that retained the title and has started to pay off his £21.5mil transfer.
Coppa Titano Final
Last season the glory belonged to Al-Sadd as they beat Bologna in the final 2 -1! However Al-Sadd made an earlier than anticipated exit in the Quarter Finals to a very strong Anji side, but Gladbach managed to overcome the odds in the Semi's to dump out Anji, whilst last years finalist Bologna dumped out Universidad De Chile, setting up one of the most unlikely of finals between Gladbach and Bologna!
Coppa Titano Final: Bologna 3 - 1 Gladbach
Bologna were back for a second time and were much more determined, a determination that probably sprouts from their painfull defeat last season. That determination was turned into a world class performance and they more than easily beat Gladbach who will be hugely disappointed with their performance! A brace from Marco Di Vaio and a 3rd from Henry Gimenez, with a late bit of hope from Younes Belhanda.
Game File
Game Save File: It is not the time to look towards scouting your summer targets, but the summer transfer window will not open untill we have our new chairman in place.
Another Championship for PSV couldn't be happier, left it late again like last season though. Still a small bit to be done to the squad so looking forward to the transfer window.
TM are you going to post all our balances after prize money from league places again like the start of this season? Might also help possible new chairmen for deciding who they want to pick.
I'm annoyed that we threw the title away towards the end... Congratulations to PSV.
I will post the balances once the End Of Season Awards have been announced
Really Olympiakos, how does this team manage to get 2 draws and 3 losses in last 5 matches, and losing to Leeds and River (no offense guys). That really sucks losing form when it mattered most. Missed out on EC because of it finishing 5th.
Ahh two points off of Europe. Wow that sucks... Oh well time to build for next season. Good to see such a solid defence though!
16th just isnt anywhere near good enough, be expecting a PM soon TM
I know we're not in the Transfer window yet but I figured that there would be a lot of interest so...
Leeds United Offer Lionel Messi to Clubs
PM me if you want to make an offer and I will sell him to the highest offer.
Terrible last month for Fulham. Conceding 10 goals in the last 4 games has lost us some prize money!
Took out a huge loan as well just before the prize money, season tickets + TV revenue comes in.
Also, TM when are you looking to open the window. I have names ready :P
Last edited by Jpr; 08-06-2012 at 22:35.
Well finished 7th thts good enough for me but will be aiming for europe next season.
It seems I am always a bottom club
Definitely happy with third considering where we started the season. Probably won't do much this transfer window other than to improve facilities a bit and steady the financial ship.
So far the highest bid for Messi is 40m. Surely someone will pay more than this for the worlds best player?
I have my transfer requests ready and waiting in a notepad document, will be PM'ing TM as soon as he confirms the window so nobody steals my signings
Who the hell is Erwin Hoffer lmao 77 goals for The Us just need a defense to match it . Then you all will be in trouble
Damn, gutting final month. Losing the cup final and slipping into the bottom half.
I am currently working on moving the loan players back to their clubs before I do the End Of Season Report. Once the End Of Season Report is done I will post up the club finances and open the thread for the new chairman to come in and then finally the transfer window will open
Code:John Obi Mikel 50k Chelsea Benoit Cheyrou 66k Mehmet Topal 33.5k Mohammed Sissoko 64k Josh McEachran 10k Cala 6.3k Chris Smalling 40k Man Utd Thibaut Courtois 20.5k Ederson 26k Anthony Annan 25k Julian Draxler 21k Anji Simone Pepe 20k Palermo Aleksandar Kolarov 65k Chelsea Olexandr Chyzhov 5.5k Shakhtar Sebastien Bassong 35k Tottenham Bojan 17.25k Barcelona Vladimir Weiss 10k Man City Thiago 67k Barcelona Allan Nyom 8.25k Udinese Danny Wilson 20k Liverpool Kevin De Bruyne 23k Chelsea Xherden Shaqiri 25k Bayern Munich Pedro 85k Barcelona Taye Taiwo 53k AC Milan Martin Montoya 13k Real Sociedad Dedryck Boyata 7.5k Man City Jack Wilshere 45k Arsenal Nicklas Bendtner 10k Arsenal Jeremy Menez 56k Roma
I think TM should set a opening time for the transfer window so that we know to check the forums at that time. Previously I havent looked for a few hours only to find that everyone has taken all the good players.
It's hard to put a time on it because of personal commitments and complications that could arise. What I will do is I will hold off the opening of the transfer window by between 4 and 12 hours from when i'm ready to open it. In other words, you will know approx 4 to 12 hours before the window will open, but thats the best I can do.
I've now completed the loan transfers, moving them back to their clubs.

News Flash
Marcello Lippi has decided to leave his position at PSV and retire from football! Lippi has guided his PSV side to an amazing Campianto Super League double in the last 2 seasons and it remains to be seen who would be able to replace such a talented manager. It is believed that Massimiliano Allegri has taken over as caretaker manager for the time being, but speculation is that the PSV chairman Andy Stewart may look elsewhere.
Sir Alex Ferguson has decided to leave his position at Al-Sadd and retire from football! This is seen as another huge loss to football in San Marino as the legendary manager ends his spectacular career, winning the Coppa Titano in his first season and the Trofeo Federale in his second season!

HSV Announce New Manager
HSV and chairman Nath Walker have today announced the sacking of Rafa Benitez. And the appointment of former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger it is thought the compensation is about £1.4m, with the club in so much debt it is said that both men agree that everyplayer is up for sale given the right price. He then went on to say that despite the debt signings are still likely.
Important Notice
Some rules may possibly be changing for the new season, including major changes to the Facilities Rules. The prices for improving Facilities will increase for the new season, although the idea will be to give a discount for major improvements. As it stands, it is probably going to be cheaper to do your developments now. You will have untill the start of the transfer window to do this.
Al-Sadd Improve Training Facilities by 10
Previous Rule Cost: £2,500,000
Current Rule Cost: £4,000,000
Discount for 3 - 4 increased = 5%
Discount for 5 - 9 increased = 15%
Discount For 10 - 14 increased = 30%
Discount for 15 - 20 increased = 50%
Discount used = 30%
Cost Without Discount = £40,000,000
Cost With Discount = £28,000,000
It has been determined that the following teams are now available and I will be making the Re-Sign Up thread shortly so we can get back to having 22 people
Aston Villa
Colo Colo
One place improvement on last season so should be champions by 2029 at that rate!
Just a question - for youth signings do u-21 appearances count as representing your country?
The prices haven't gone up yet guys, I warned you at beggining of season You have untill the transfer window opens to improve your facilities.
Just read all the latest stuff, Marcello Lippi retired! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Will upload the sace and see if I can find a decent new manager
Napoli chairman invests in facilities
Napoli's eccentric chairman Gianpaolo Della Torre was in a very good mood this morning as he announced that he had recently won the lottery* and would therefore be investing over £40 million into the club's facilities. As a result, the club will be enhancing it's Youth Academy whilst the stadium capacity has also been increased to 55,000.
*Enquiries to the San Marino Lotto Fund later confirmed that Della Torre had won just £10 having bought 15 separate tickets

Today, TheGreatTraveler has become the new chairman for Coppa Titano winners Bologna. He has stated that a decision hasn't been made on the current manager, but that a change could certainly happen. More is sure to come, as the Bolognese prepare for a new season that will include a Europa League campaign.
Now ex-X-Factor judge Louis Walsh is officially Basel's next chairman.Basel finished 11th in last season's Campionato Super League campaign.Walsh announced that current coach Matthias Sammer will probably be sacked,with Massimiliano Allegri the most likely replacement.No official announcements on the clubs transfer and wage budgets have been made,but the club has released this season's transfer list,which reads ;
Jacques Zoua-£500k
Vid Belec-Free
Jayson Leutwiler-Free
Park Joo-Ho-£250k
Ayanda Patosi-£100k
Fwayo Tembo-£70k
Kay Voser-£125k
All other players are available at a reasonable price,except Roman Burki,Marco Streller and Cristiano Comi.
Good to have 2 new guys in, i'm going to open the transfer window tomorrow at 1pm!
Game Save For Transfer Window
Here is the game save for the transfer window. Please use this to do your scouting and don't rely on earlier saves, because they may be incorrect.
Just to clarify, this is only a game save and not an announcement for the transfer window. All messages will be answered before the transfer window opens.
so TM, when do we start to PM transfers through to you? tomorrow at 1pm?
What timezone
when do we do our list of players we want to keep like the untouchables
This should have been called a fantasy chairman game! So many stupid transfers and managers. Also I think that people who run the game should have a team involved.. (leads to controversy). I've been away for a while due to internet being down and exams, but i'm not bothered about being out of this stupidity.
I think someone got out of the wrong side of the bed if you ask me... Was there really any need for your pathetic comment?
Transfer Window Is Now Open
Please check the rules on page 1, same rules apply as last summer. The window will shut on Thursday at 6PM GMT+0
Sorry for the delay guys. I wont be able to answer PM's untill later, so I apologize for not answering any current PM's.
I think the vast majority of people involved are happy with the way the game is being run and are having fun with it, but there is always bound to be one
Also TM, potential issue here, when players contracts run out, I assume our clubs will attempt to re-sign them, but a combination of low rep clubs + league (for some clubs) will mean that players won't be retained.
Are we allowed to renew contracts ourselves to avoid this?
edit: TM, only my 2 most recent messages are relevant, I do this every season, sorry!
Last edited by Jpr; 12-06-2012 at 12:19.
Ok guys, i'm ready to answer some PM's now, just been out to buy my dumbell and barbell set I'm going to hopefully answer all PM's from previous days first, but I apologize in advance if I miss any.
'from previous days' what happened to the transfer window? I thought we could only send pm's when it opened. Guess I missed out on loads of deals a again then

Does the indirect narration style (as in: 'Surely she was going to ask him out tomorrow.') directly fall into the classification of Narration?
migrated from english.stackexchange.com Apr 14 '11 at 21:08
This question came from our site for linguists, etymologists, and serious English language enthusiasts.
If by indirect narration you mean indirect speech, yes, I believe it is a style of third person narration. e.g. He said he would of course help. You also get free indirect speech, which is a combination of both third and first person narration by dropping the "he said" e.g. He would of course help. See here for more: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_indirect_speech
Technically it's still the narrator (author) saying what the character may or may not be thinking so I would say yes.
In narrated films, the narrator might add their own thoughts about events here and there like this and it would fall under "narration".

I'm a 2nd year grad student and I'm looking for conferences/summer schools to attend this summer. I checked out the AMS calendar but couldn't find anything I found relevant there. Anyone have any suggestions?
The Georgia Topology Conference will be largely focused on a geometric end of algebraic topology this year. As least, that what I suspect. The homotopy-type of embeddings of smooth manifolds, Goodwillie calculus, configuration spaces, etc, should be a major feature:
I think there's a big summer school / conference in Pisa, Italy for much of the summer but I haven't found much information on it on-line. I suspect it will be oriented towards configuration spaces but I don't know for sure.
Ah, I found a webpage for the Pisa meeting:
Sarah Whitehouse maintains a list of topology conferences at http://www.sarah-whitehouse.staff.shef.ac.uk/btconfs.html
The Talbot workshops are a great opportunity for PhD students and young researchers (this year's topic: twisted K-theory). I don't know if they still have places available.
I'd also recommend the Young Topologists' Meeting in Copenhagen (June 16-20) and, with a somewhat more focussed and advanced scope, the meeting at the Fields Institute (August 30-Sept 3)

I would like to discuss why is PHP called a structural language? what are the OO concepts that cannot be implemented using PHP?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I consider PHP language to be object-capable, not object-oriented. That's because most of the built-in constructs are not object-oriented. Take an array or a string for example. In object oriented language, you'd use it's methods to manipulate it. In fully fledged object-oriented language everything is an object.
On the other hand PHP is object-capable, you can write code, that will be OOP. Instead of using for example normal arrays, you can use data structures from SPL, which actually are OOP. The only problem with that is, it's an extension, not a part of the language itself.
Classification of programming languages is an art as most languages falls in many categories. In this case it's simple enough though. PHP is an imperative OO language, like C++. That is, you can select to use objects and classes if you like, but you don't have to.
As regards to what you can and cannot do with objects in PHP, I don't really see anything missing. But "missing" is a relative term here, as some OO languages have more features and others less. For instance, some consider language-supported properties to be a hallmark of OO, something that is lacking in both Java and PHP. Still Java is undoubtedly in the OO camp.
Judging from Wikipedia, the fundamental concepts in OO is:
All this is part of PHP.
On a personal note, I haven't found anything in PHPs OO implementation that is lacking. There is lots of stuff in PHP that is seriously flawed, inconsistent and just weird, but that is another issue. It's OO constructs are good enough to be called complete.
I wrote an article which might help to clarify this issue!
1) the first paragraph of the wikipedia-artical on structured prog langs says why
2) there are no OO concepts you cannot apply in PHP

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: Clinical Practices for effective Treatment
Faculty: B. Douglas Smith, MD
Last Modified: October 21, 2012
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder of the blood stem cells that accounts for approximately 15% of all adult leukemias. Recent changes to standard therapy, combined with the development of novel CML agents, have led to challenges with regard to escalation and transition of therapy and management of treatment-related side effects. This continuing education activity will improve the ability of oncologists and other clinicians to treat and manage CML through application of contemporary CML guidelines and utilization of novel CML therapies.

$$\int_\gamma z(e^{z^2}+1)dz,$$
where $\displaystyle \gamma(t)=e^{it},t \in \left[0,\frac{\pi}{2}\right]$.
In order to apply Cauchy's integral formula, I'll set $f(z)=z^2\left(e^{z^2}+1\right)$ and rewrite
$$\int_\gamma z(e^{z^2}+1)dz=\int_\gamma \frac{f(z)}{z} dz.$$
$f(0)=0$, so we would have $$\int_\gamma z(e^{z^2}+1)dz=0$$
Unfortunately, this seems to be wrong, because another evaluation from the source, where I've taken this integral yields $\displaystyle \frac{e^{-1}-e}{2}-1$. Where did I make a mistake?

Although the process of sperm-meets-egg is natural and easy for most couples, some couples who want to conceive a child struggle with infertility. Approximately 6.1 million American women and their partners (which is about 10 percent of the people in the reproductive age bracket) are affected by infertility.
Infertility is the inability to conceive after a year of unprotected intercourse, or the inability to carry a pregnancy to a live birth.
The reasons for this heartache are many and uncertain. Some feel that the age of free sex in the 1960s passed around sexually transmitted diseases that now years later cause both male and female reproductive problems. Others point to the environmental toxins caused by the breakdown of certain pesticides and plastics that are linked to reduced sperm count, endometriosis, and fibroids. Abortions have caused many scarred fallopian tubes, which blocks the sperm from meeting up with the egg. And the increasing numbers of women who postpone having children until their 30s or 40s, when their eggs are no longer top quality, naturally reduces the fertility pool.
In many cases the cause of infertility in females is rooted in a treatable medical condition. The top two reasons for female infertility are (1) tubal factors (such as damaged fallopian tubes) and (2) ovulatory disorders (such as an irregular or absent menstrual cycle). A smaller percentage of women suffer from endometriosis (a condition in which tissue from inside the uterus grows outside the uterus), which can cause infertility if left untreated.
Some women who do get pregnant but then repeatedly miscarry the baby might also have a medical problem that can be corrected. Similar to other types of infertility, repeat miscarriages might be caused by hormonal problems, ovulatory problems, or structural problems in which the uterus won't support a pregnancy. In a few rare cases, an abnormality of the chromosomes might be the cause. But unfortunately, in the majority of cases, the reason for repeat miscarriages is unknown.
Infertility in males is due to problems with their sperm. The number of sperm might be low (viability), the sperm might be abnormally shaped (morphology), or the sperm might move too slowly or sluggishly (motility).
Although the causes of these problems are many and varied, the most common reasons are as follows:
Although estimates vary, infertility is unexplained in approximately 20 percent of cases. When this happens, there is no medical answer to the problem. Some couples opt to increase their chances of conceiving by trying various assisted reproductive techniques such as fertility drugs, artificial insemination, or some form of in vitro fertilization. Others decide to keep trying the old-fashioned way and investigate other factors that can influence fertility and which they have some personal control over; these include changes in lifestyle, exposure to environmental toxins, positions during intercourse, and reducing the amount of stress in their lives.
Before you jump into fertility testing, it's best to take time to look where you're going. The first step is to carefully choose the physician who will guide you through this process. Start with your gynecologist. Together, the two of you will assess your fertility and then decide if you should also consult a fertility specialist.
If you do decide to go to a fertility specialist, choose this person carefully. Because there is no regulation, licensing, or certification required for advertising this specialty, any physician can be listed as a fertility specialist. Just because someone is listed as a "fertility specialist" or has certificates on the office wall announcing membership in the American Society for Reproductive Medicine doesn't necessarily mean that he or she is qualified to help your particular situation. Before you make your first appointment, call and ask if the physician is board-certified or board-eligible in reproductive endocrinology (meaning that he or she has passed a national board examination to specialize in fertility).
Don't forget that males need a specialized health-care provider, too. It is unlikely that his general practitioner (GP) can adequately perform the necessary diagnostic tests, and if the GP does perform the tests, he or she will likely refer the patient on to a specialist when the results are in anyway.
Most often men are referred to an urologist, but keep in mind that not all urologists are adequately trained to handle fertility problems. It's best to see an andrologist. Andrology is a specialty within the field of urology that focuses specifically on fertility. Andrologists are the physicians most highly qualified to deal with all aspects of male-factor infertility. These doctors have completed a one- to two-year fellowship and have passed an examination to become a board-certified andrologist.

37th NSRA Street Rod Nationals - Alter-NatsWritten by on January 1, 2007 Contributors: Kevin Lee An Alternative Look at the 37th NSRA Street Rod Nationals
It was a busy couple of weeks on the road for Kevin and me as we followed up our trip from SoCal to Lincoln for the Americruise with another week on the road in the same Roy Brizio '32 Ford roadster heading for the 37th NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky. Perhaps too much excitement for the "average" rodder, but Team R&C took in the event a little at time as to not get overly excited and blow a piston.
As usual, our long weekend in Louisville started Wednesday night as we let Brian Brennan treat us to pizza at the Street Rodder builder's party. Our work officially began on Thursday at the fairgrounds where the newly expanded (to nearly 500,000 feet) Kentucky Exposition Center took center stage. Inside, just about every imaginable street rod vender showed off their wares, which also included the debut of over 150 brand-new products. And the swap meet was located right outside if for some reason you couldn't find what you were looking for or wanted a new project to hang all those new products on, featuring rows and rows of hard-to-find parts and a few great bargains on slightly used items.
For those not shopping and just wanting to gaze at beautiful machinery, there were thousands of different makes and models to drool over and mentally take to the driver seat and cruise into their wildest dreams. We found plenty to drool over, so much in fact that we have decided to present a selection of vehicles in this story that does not include any Blue Oval products that usually take up a fair portion of any event coverage. Do not worry, Ford fans, this is not something that will become a regular way of reporting events; we're just sharing the space a little and showing what cool rides are being built and enjoyed from the "other" camps. For now, enjoy the "alter-Nats!"

To the editor:
I'm writing with sadness because of the defeat of the Indian Creek and Jefferson County Joint Vocational School levies once again. It seems as if the voices of the children and those who are called to teach them will not be heard within this area. I'm not sure if there will be another opportunity for growth for them.
Once again people have looked to themselves in their present state of fear of losing wealth that they so desperately want to cling to - they are not looking past that toward the future. I've heard and seen firsthand the mindset of poverty and selfishness that has taken hold in this community along with deep-rooted division and bitterness among the neighboring communities, and it's a very disheartening condition. We will never be anything greater than where we see our children in the future.
I am making my opinions public because there must be someone who will not care about public backlash or community opinion and who will speak without agenda. My shoulders are broad. I feel compelled to tell all who voted not to pass the levies based upon a tax increase, bitterness or simply because you have nobody in the system - you get what you give. Having given a resounding no, once again, you've now shown an entire generation of kids that they don't deserve your support and the education that they get in the conditions they have will have to be good enough. When they become old enough to vote upon issues that will affect you, then you will reap what you've sown. Eventually this generation that continues to be denied its time will deny you with their vote as well. It is a very sad inevitability that you'll one day be forced to remember.
Do not murmur about Steubenville, do not talk about how they "steal" talents, do not speak negatively about those that you are so quick to judge because of a location that doesn't meet your high mindedness and narrow thinking. It was you who set up those who choose to leave and thrive based on their talents, dreams and desires to be noticed by their academia and their gifts. It was you who set up the silver platter for the migration of many. It will also be you who will inevitably pay far more money and pay a higher cost in the end when the school closes and they consolidate with others and build an entirely new venue and will not ask for your vote. It will just be done because there will be nobody left in a school that cannot keep up with the times. Why would anyone want to leave a brand new, state-of-the-art middle school to come to a broken system?
You served up that platter. I pray that you're able to swallow all you've put on your plate for the future. I'm sorry children and staff. My family will always support you.

Blood donors participating in the Dodge City Community Blood Drive on July 24 and 25 at the Knights of Columbus, 800 W. Frontview, will receive a special thanks from Kansas pork farmers.
The Kansas Pork Association (KPA) is teaming up with the American Red Cross as part of the KPA's 2013 Be Inspired to Make a Difference community program. The KPA program is providing support to organizations that are making a difference by working to build stronger communities and a stronger Kansas. The goal in Dodge City is to collect 130 pints of blood. Because each pint could help save up to three lives, up to 390 patients could benefit.
Blood donors will be greeted by Kansas pork farmers serving free pulled-pork sandwiches and giving away pig-shaped stress relievers. A free raffle will also be held for two grocery gift cards valued at $25 each. The drive will take place July 24 from noon to 6:00 p.m. and on July 25 from 7:45 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.
"I don't think we can do enough to thank these great people who donate their blood to help our community have a safe and reliable blood supply," said Jason Hall, a pork farmer from Elkhart, Kan., who will be on hand to thank blood donors. "They are real heroes because they help save so many lives. We're happy to provide a healthy food for these donors who are a shining example for all of us."
During the summer months, blood donations often decline when schools are out of session and regular donors are on vacation.
"The need for blood is constant," said Terri Dunaway, American Red Cross Central Plains Region CEO. "While blood donations tend to decrease in the summer months, these drives will help ensure blood products are readily available for patients. We are thankful to have partners like the KPA."
There are 1,500 pork farmers in Kansas. In 2012, they produced more than 500 million pounds of pork with a market value of more than $456 million. Learn more about Kansas pork farmers at eatpork.org.
How to Donate Blood
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver's license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
Page 2 of 2 - About the American Red Cross
Governed by volunteers and supported by giving individuals and communities, the American Red Cross is the single largest supplier of blood products to hospitals throughout the United States. While local hospital needs are always met first, the Red Cross also helps ensure no patient goes without blood no matter where or when they need it. In addition to providing nearly half of the nation's blood supply, the Red Cross provides relief to victims of disaster, trains millions in lifesaving skills, serves as a communication link between U.S. military members and their families, and assists victims of international disasters or conflicts.

Best sub/hoagie sandwich?
Recently i stopped into Subway on the fly and had a decent sub. Sometimes their hit or miss there. Down here in South Florida there is an incredible place called LaSpada's Hoagies..delicious! Another place was Jersey Mike's but they closed the one in my area..Anyone have a favorite sub/hoagie sandwich shop experience?
29 Answers answer
We have a new sub/pizza shop in our area called Sons of Sicily. Their prices are great, their pizza is delicious, but the best thing on their menu is their subs and wraps. The sub rolls are fresh and they overload them with meat for the price. They also have a "cheesesteak wrap" which is to die for. It's only $5 and it's so big my Mom and I split one (only because I'm not sure it would do well if I kept it and heated it up the next day).
Yeah...when Subway was a small change it was really good. I was stationed in Connecticut in the mid-80's when they were just starting out. Now..just like you said...it's hit or miss. Jersey Mikes is very good and they ALMOST closed our local one too (economy?). There is a local chain called "Sub Station II" that is just 'ok'. The best is a small sandwich shop called "Sub Factory" that makes great, thick, tasy subs for a cheap price (think large Jersey Mikes sub for only $7...easily feeds two or three people).
@lmensor: Sounds delicious...the bread def. makes a difference..where are you located?
@undrpsi: Yea i think Mike's can't compete with the larger stores like subway...
I wish we had a jersey Mike's around here. They've got the best subs for a chain.
Around here there's really nobody who makes great subs.
Jersey Mike's for a chain. New York Sub Hub in DFW and Ike's Place in San Francisco.
Wegmans. I know it's a chain, and a grocery store chain at that, but the subs are huge and always use fresh ingredients, which is what's important to me.
They're hoagies. Homemade, or Wawa. Wawa in Jersey is best, because it's sort of an institution there. Here they're few and far between, so service is hit or miss unless you talk to the deli folks after you do your touchscreen ordering. Sometimes doing so confuses them, but if you're friendly about it (asking a favor as opposed to presenting a demand) you can get an awesome personalized hoagie.
I did a stint as a Wawa deli girl one summer after school was out, and used it to perfect my hoagie and sandwich making skills. This was pre-touch screens, so we had little slips and pens, and people hanging about to say "just a little more mayo" and the like. I liked it better because I could give people exactly what they wanted, and even had one guy try to tip me for making his hoagie just so.
We don't have much of anything but chains 'round these parts. I think that Firehouse Subs has the best meatball sub you could ask for. And for something that comes straight out of a can, their chili is pretty tasty as well.
@purplefeather: thanks for the tip on the meatball sub!
I love them all, particularly creative sandwiches and subs.
The best I can think of is at Jimmy John's it's called the Gargantuan and it's huge and really good!!
I absolutely LOVE Capriottis subs. I've never had a sub from there that was neatly measured out and perfectly stacked. It's slapped together on a great roll, filled with meat and whatever else comes on it.
Jimmy John's Italian Nightclub UnWich!
I suspect that you might disqualify this because it has no bread, but what could be better than all of the yummy goodness of JUST the fillings! Don't get me wrong, I love bread, but I prefer it hot with fresh butter. Too many subs or hoagies (or, as we call them in Louisiana, POBOYS!), are way too heavy on the bread and it overwhelms the tasty fillings. The UnWiches are just the fillings wrapped in lettuce leaves. That salves my calorie conscious brain while making my mouth and tummy happy.
Wow, we have a relatively new Jersey Mike's and I've never checked it out. I think I know what I'll be doing for lunch today!
Oh, and by the way, we have a local shop called Unbeatable Eatables that has the best sandwiches anywhere. And you have to love that name.
There's a local place called Gene's Grinders and the only thing they make is subs and fries. Because they make their own food and bread, they don't even have closing hours; they just close when they run out of food (which is usually before 3 PM).
Monday to Friday, they have a different special, but you can order from the rest of their menu every day. The flagship item is their Italian Sausage Sandwich, offered on Fridays, which is unlike any other sausage sandwich you've ever had. It's not just because of the taste, which is great, but because of how the sausage looks. It's homemade, shaped like a loaf of bread, cut up into slices, fried, then placed on the bread, covered with marinara and lots of provolone. Truly a unique experience.
Anything that has a case of the drips.
The Yellow Submarine Sub shop, in the Inner Sunset, San Francisco. Since 1971.
Subway, I honestly dislike them. I always found it hard to order something with them. Plus everything seemed so rushed and all over the place... toasting didn't really help. Sometimes.
Quiznos however, they have some good bread and the honey mustard on the side is awesome!
HELL YEA! LaSpadas! Best hoagie on the planet!
Publix Deli makes a pretty mean sub too.
This place has some of the best subs in the Salt Lake Valley, there is always a line.
@v3n0m91: I was going to say Publix also! LaSpadas woot!
I second @purplefeather , we just got a FireHouse Subs here last month, deliciously well made!
Hungry Hobo in the Quad-Cities (Moline,Rock Island,IL and Davenport, Bettendorf, IA) they have like 20 locations GREAT bread, Baked potatoes, My favorite is the #11. Meat is sliced when you order not held in some pan. They used to have GREAT pizza at a few locations but hav stopped that now.
Gotta say doing them at home. I can toast the roll perfectly, carmelize some onions, and heat the meat up in a skillet. Ohhhhhh Aunt Bea, that's some fine hoagie goodness.
Almost any privately owned deli in NJ. And Wegmans. I love Wegmans. All you non-northeasters are missing out.
@matthalbig: I'm in southern PA, right at the PA/MD boarder. Being so close to Baltimore you would think I'd find great places there, but so far that new place by home is the best!
@lmensor: right on!
I've never had a sub from anyplace except Subway. Lack of options is the reason, not by choice.

I wanted to see what tips other designers with more experience designing for web applications and sites that must handle multiple language might have.
I know the basics, like expect the length of labels to grow by 1/3 (or more) depending on the language, etc. (reiterating those tips will be helpful too)
But are there particular UI/UX patterns that you stay away from because they have the potential to "blow up" depending on the language?
For example, fixed sized tabs can easily lead to a problem, but I am sure there are ways (other than truncation) to handle tabs on, for example, a German site, where the word "Cart" becomes "Einkaufswagen" and triples in size.
What issues have you run into and how did you handle them?
What examples of sites do you think handle the problem well, or don't?
I'll offer up Amazon as an example, where, faced with the above Cart problem, they decided to remove the Wish List button because it no longer fits. This seems to me to be a consistency nightmare, and is not the proper way to handle the issue.
