Deadly Kabul Blast Linked to U.S.-Terror Designation
KABUL—A suicide attacker set off a bomb Saturday near the headquarters of the U.S.-led coalition in Kabul, killing six people in what the Taliban said was a deliberate response to the U.S. designating an affiliated insurgent group as a terrorist organization.
Elsewhere in the capital, a gun battle erupted in an unusual outbreak of ethnic fighting, just as many Afghans commemorated the anniversary of the 2001 assassination of Tajik commander Ahmad Shah Massoud by al Qaeda suicide bombers posing as journalists. While Afghan officials said no one was killed in the shootings, local witnesses claimed several casualties.
Saturday's bomb detonated in the vicinity of Camp Eggers, a heavily fortified installation in the heart of the capital that is close to the U.S. embassy. The blast, which occurred around noon, rang through Kabul's diplomatic quarter.
At least six Afghan civilians were killed and four others injured in the explosion, according to Kabul police. Witnesses and police said several of the casualties were Afghan street children who made a living begging and selling trinkets to foreigners living and working in the area.
Kabul police said that the suicide bomber was a child himself, putting his age between 12 and 14. A coalition statement described him as a "teenaged youth." German Brig. Gen. Günter Katz, a coalition spokesman, said the choice of the bomber demonstrated the "despicable tactics" of the insurgency. "If these reports are true, by taking advantage of an impressionable child to carry out this attack, the insurgents display cowardice," he said.
Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, denied those accounts, saying the bomber was a 28-year-old man. "This is government propaganda to overshadow our achievements," he said. The attack, according to the Taliban, had targeted a Central Intelligence Agency facility.
Mr. Mujahid added that Saturday's blast was the Taliban's response to the Obama administration's move to designate the Haqqani network, an operationally autonomous insurgent group affiliated with the Taliban, as a terrorist organization. The Haqqani network has been blamed for several high-profile attacks in the capital, including an assault last year on the U.S. Embassy.
"In this war every action has a reaction, and this was an appropriate reaction to the Americans for blacklisting" the Haqqani network, he said.
The Taliban said in a statement that there is no such thing as the Haqqani network, saying that the group's leaders were an integral part of the Taliban high command. The statement described Jalaluddin Haqqani, the group's founder and leader, as a "member of the leadership council" of the Taliban and called him "a very close, loyal and trustworthy" subordinate of Mullah Mohammad Omar, the movement's one-eyed spiritual leader.
Meanwhile, a senior Haqqani network member told the Associated Press that a U.S. soldier held by Afghan militants, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, wouldn't be harmed despite the terrorist designation. However, the United States and NATO can expect stepped up attacks, he said.
Attacks such as Saturday's bombing, in the vicinity of the heavily guarded coalition headquarters and Western embassies inside Kabul's diplomatic zone, are relatively rare.
It occurred as supporters of Mr. Massoud, the commander slain in 2001, had traveled into Kabul from the Panjshir, a province north of the capital that was his stronghold. They drove through the Afghan capital in cars and pickup trucks decorated with posters of their deceased leader.
Witnesses said that the exchange of gunfire in western Kabul erupted following a dispute between the Panjshiris and the area's ethnic Hazara residents, who were on the opposing sides of the 1990s civil war in Kabul.
A traffic dispute appears to have sparked the conflict. Witnesses said the confrontation started after a caravan of vehicles with black flags of mourning passed through the largely Hazara neighborhood of Pol-e Sokhta. A shopkeeper in the area said the clash started when a Panjshiri man on a motorcycle struck a Hazara boy riding on a bicycle.
Gunfire continued for one hour afterward, witnesses said. According to a witness named Fawad, police detained two Panjshiri men and fired into the air to disperse a growing crowd. In response, hundreds of Hazaras gathered and burned down four police booths and two police pickup trucks.
A spokesman for the Afghan interior ministry said that a local "quarrel" had prompted the exchange of fire in western Kabul, and that police were in control of the situation. Police said there were no fatalities in the midday confrontation.
Local residents, however, said as many as seven civilians had been killed. Later on Saturday afternoon, Mr. Fawad said that a white Toyota Corolla car decorated with Massoud posters pulled up in the neighborhood and one of the men inside opened fire with a Kalashnikov assault rifle. He said two people were killed in the drive-by shooting, although his claim could not be immediately verified. Police had not confirmed any deaths late Saturday.
Blood was still visible on the streets of western Kabul by midafternoon Saturday, and the neighborhood had a heavy security presence, with Afghan military, police and special-forces units on the scene.

How do you store data and display it from a form input?
In order to have form save the data and display the data on the page that a user puts in, do you have to use php or some other server side language to store my data in?

The short answer is yes, 99% of people use some kind of server side technology. You could also use something like google gears.Evan Trimboli

COLUMBUS - A man who was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison in connection with a 1987 murder in northern Jefferson County will have to wait another 10 years before applying for parole.
Robert Carpenter, 49, was present at the November 1987 murder of Kevin Burks of East Liverpool but claimed he didn't participate. He testified against three co-defendants who received longer sentences.
Carpenter was with David Lee Hudson, Peter Martin and Billy Wayne Smith when they lured Burks from his grandmother's house in East Liverpool, saying a friend was in need.

The four men drove Burks to a remote section of Brush Creek Township, where they tortured him, stabbed and shot him, before finally slashing his neck.
Burks' body was found 11 days later.
Carpenter was arrested in Florida and the three other men were arrested in San Diego.
Carpenter was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for murder, kidnapping and robbery. Hudson, Martin and Smith were each sentenced to 59 years to life in prison.
Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin, who testified before the parole board hearing on Thursday, said there was a recommendation for Carpenter to be released from prison.
Jackie and Jenny Hicks, Burks' two sisters, and Frank Noble, a former Jefferson County sheriff's deputy, also spoke before the parole board, urging the members not to grant release for Carpenter.
Hanlin said the parole board members deliberated about 30 minutes before returning with the denial.
"I'm thrilled he was denied by the parole board," Hanlin said. "He should never be released from prison. They lured this man out of his house and tortured him."
Hanlin said the statements provided by Burks' sisters helped sway the parole board away from granting release.

I have recently read that we can only know the masses of stars in binary systems, because we use Kepler's third law to indirectly measure the mass. However, it is not hard to find measurements for the mass of stars not in binary systems. So how is the mass of these stars determined?
The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram is the key to determining masses of individual stars. For stars on the main sequence, their properties are essentially determined by their mass. Age and metallicity are also interrelated factors, but of considerably less importance than mass. That is, if you tell me the mass of a star on the main sequence, I can tell you its temperature, luminosity, radius, etc., to reasonably good accuracy. This means that if you are able to measure the luminosity and temperature of a star, I can put it on a Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, and tell you how massive it is. Of course, calibrating this relationship in the first place required measuring the masses of stars directly using stars in binary systems, as you mention.
[Edit: I did not notice that the star you linked to specifically was Arcturus, for which this does not directly apply.] For a giant like Arcturus, masses are often determined in a bit more complicated manner. The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram still provides a guide, in developing models of stellar evolution that can produce the observed patterns of non-main-sequence stars on the HR diagram. As Arcturus is no longer on the main sequence, these stellar evolution models are used to find the mass that produces the combination of temperature, luminosity, and radius observed, from which a mass can be inferred.

Wow...it's incredible that city sold you Johnson for just 16m. Decent looking team too.
Its not easy to assemble a team that's compete mate. Mine is going to struggle as well but it will nice to see some of the youngsters develop as the season wears on.
If you want a couple of tips - you'll find it hard to come by strikers who are under 22, will come for 7.5M or less and will be good enough to peform at the top level. But you should be able to find some 27 or over ones who you can actually land for 10M or less and are very good. Both Amauri and Rocchi that I bought should be available for that price. There are others around as well. So try to buy senior strikers. You can also try to buy 1 expensive English striker if you want. There's one who's quality and will come for about 20M. I wont give the name away though as I'm not sure if you want names.
There are quite a few CB's that you can buy who will be under 22 and under 7.5M and will perform well. Full backs are a little problem but there are a few around. You'll easily find good enough 22 or under players in midfield who you can buy for 7.5M or less. If you want some recommendation, let me know.
Really? I just declared interest first and then I put in a bid for 13M + 10% sell on and they came back with 16M straight up. I offered it and thats it!
interesting team hulk
First Team Squad
GK: joe hart(10mil), molina (free)
LB: emmanuelson(6mil), warnock(3.5mil)

LW: marcelo(5.5mil), A.Razack T(1.4mil)
RW: barnes, osvaldo(4mil)
ST: dayro moreno(3mil), ricardo jesus(1mil)
*note* lots of interchangable players
Reserve Team Squad
s.arrieta (500k)
danny grainger (500k)
mattock (1.3mil)
ropotan (500k)
stelvio (400k)
k.agouda (200k)
joe garner (100k)
buononatte (200k)
m.constantin (250k)
tatarastanu (200k)
*and various random stats players.. nothing worth noting*
I had considered getting a few core important players... i.e like hulk.. using my established over 27 age rule to bring in a goal scorer and a AMC, therefore garaunteeing goals and winning games...
But Id like to try and build from nothing, and bring in non established players and se if I can build my team from ground up.
With that in mind.. the only over 22 players I brought in was molina as backup keeper until foster returns and warnock
Filling my 5 english players roster are
hart (obvious choice for keeper, brilliant)
marvin elliot (whos stats are ridiculously good)
warnock (brilliant for price and english)
david jones (obvious choice for midfield on a free)
barnes (great at rw, no need for change)
dayro moreno looks brilliant and will fill my striker role perfectly i think..
im playing:
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> hart
elliot fazio vermaelen warnock
zapater d.jones
barnes emanuelson
moreno </pre>
haha as i was typing that i realised, i need another striker, one in case moreno doesnt perform after all... so ive bought in mamadou bagayoko for 3 mil.. who looks brilliant
They want about 45m on mineOriginally posted by theincrediblehulk:
Really? I just declared interest first and then I put in a bid for 13M + 10% sell on and they came back with 16M straight up. I offered it and thats it!
i can never get him for less then 30 either
ive just played my first pre season game against catania
and on reflection.. i feel im not strong enough in the centre of the park going forward....
fellaini and zapater are brilliant , but defensive... i have a little cash left over and may try to see who i can get....
dayro moreno played brilliantly scoring two.. one a powerful header and another a curling shot from the edge of the box.... looks a great player
fellaini was solid, sweeping up any loose ball and passing it around like a pro
fazio and vermaelen were solid as i expected them to be
warnock was getting lots of space on the left so i changed him 20 minutes in for marcelo who could better use the space... proven to be a good move , set up two.
elliot was solid enough on the right also
Team looks pretty nice. Warnock was a nice buy. I forgot about him but he would have been good. The only 2 positions that worry me if your team is cover for CB and your RB's.
help needed
i've downloaded the file and extracted it into my Database folder. I loaded up the game and the option to select this database ain't there. Any help would be much appreciated.
im quite happy with RB..
as i have elliot who is brilliant, sabri (turkish international, also great) and omozusi who i know grows into the position well
I am worried about CB myself.., but i have some cover in the reserves in constantin, grainger, sakho and laso kivuvu who doesnt play there but has great stats for the position and will do fine...
Hi, downloaded the database and I really want to give this a try but the rules kinda confuse me. Can someone please clerify the rules?
hi frazza... the rules are pretty much clafified on this page.. just a little bit up...
its simple when you think about them for a bit
under 22's for less then 7.4 mil only
apart from english players who can be anything
need at least 5 english players in main match day squad
need to buy at least 30 players, and at least 16 in the main squad
can buy two over 27yr old players costing no more then 10 mil each
there a few more stipulations but start with them and then look back
i meant 7.5 of course
Try renaming the XML file to the same name as the folder. So I think remove the space and replace with an underscore.Originally posted by Slugger_SpursFan:

All the files that you extracted to the database folder, put them in a folder called "London Utd" and then try. So the destination should be:
My Documents > Sports Interactive> Football Manager 2008 > db > London Utd
Frazza Pee
Just check out the rules I've posted on this page itself a little above. They are all bunched together and easier to read. Read through once and let me know what confuses you.
DANG! Elliot looks bloody good on your game. He's about half of that on mine!! Kivuvu looks good though.
Ok I understand them now. Thanks.
How do you change a players second nationality with FMM? I can only see how to change their first nationality.
yeah i was really suprised with elliot myself.. looks premiership class all over...
solved the cb problem with my old faithful friend leandro gioda who was thankfully not transfered yet... came to me for 2mil
also had a bid accepted for hilton who's at lens for 4 mil but i dont need him now
got almost 10 mil left but dont know whether i need to spend it tbh... might look at a striker (ive cancelled the bagayoko deal.. didnt fancy it)
would love an english striker but none are decent enough for 10mil really.. might bring in someone like fryatt though
go to relations tab and edit one of their relations to 'other nationality'
I see it now.
Frazza Pee
Go to the "relations" area and you can change it there.
How about Derbyshire? He's pretty good and is usually available for around that price. Also, Billy Sharp becomes good. Andy Johnson is also available around that price, maybe a little more.
Is there a maximum amount of youth players you are allowed?
Ok thanks.
hmm derbyshire isnt a bad idea, not fond of the others though.. il look into him...
although i imagine my funds are gonna be gone now...
ive gone for defour with a view for some more attacking flair from midfield
might leave me short of cash tbh
still no luck unfortunately.
I have created a London Utd folder in my DB folder and i have put the downloaded London Utd file into the London Utd folder that i created and it still hasn't come up. Can't see where i am going wrong.
yup, ive got defour... nevermind... get some new strikers in next season , i have enough for now i imagine..
osvaldo is looking great in pre-season... he'll play a lot of games from subs bench though...
also i bought in a striker named ricardo jesus (random stats im guessing), who is ripping anderlecht to shreds as we speak...
hi slugger... this is how it should lookOriginally posted by Slugger_SpursFan:

I have created a London Utd folder in my DB folder and i have put the downloaded London Utd file into the London Utd folder that i created and it still hasn't come up. Can't see where i am going wrong.
ie.. all the files in london utd
i imagine youve created your london utd folder and then put the downloaded london utd folder into that one,
just follow the address bar on my pic
Go into the folder and rename the xml file the same as the folder. If the folder is London_Utd then name the xml file that, if it's 'London Utd' then name it that (i.e. without an underscore).Originally posted by Slugger_SpursFan:

Your team is looking pretty decent Welshace.
i've done everything and it's just not working. Is it possible for someone to upload it as a saved game file so then i can just load the game when i open up FM?
Should i sign Nolan for 15 million or Cattermole for around that need another english man, finding it quite hard to sign enough players who can actually kick a ball e.g. Newcastle want 18 mil for taylor hmmm you gotta be kidding me
Can somebody please do that for him? With my slow connection, it'd take me a while.i've done everything and it's just not working. Is it possible for someone to upload it as a saved game file so then i can just load the game when i open up FM?
I'd go for Cattermole over Nolan.
Just about to sign Lledson, strikers are hard to sign along with full backs.
can anyone load a saved game from the start?
So, am I right in saying I can't sign a player between 22 and 27?
between 23 and 27So, am I right in saying I can't sign a player between 22 and 27?
So, am I right in saying I can't sign a player between 22 and 27?Unless they are English.between 23 and 27
To simplify, you cant sign a player aged 23, 24, 25 or 26. Unless they are English that is.So, am I right in saying I can't sign a player between 22 and 27?
Mate I'll get a save game up for you tomorrow I promise. I cant do it right now because there's a littl problem with my connection. But I'll definitely have it for you tomorrow.
A couple of things though:
- I'm not sure if it will work. I was told at the start that I would need to upload the whole database as I've changed things on there.
- Let me know what leagues you want me to load for you and what size database (small, medium or large).
Does Danny Shittu count as English? As he was born and plays for Nigeria but is also English.
Cheers mate...i know i sound a pain it's just that i'm eager to try this out.
Medium database with England (Championship and above), Spain (La Liga first division) and Italy (Serie A)
Thanks again mate.
A True Fan
No, he doesnt mate. Because he's been capped for Nigeria IIRC.
I'd posted this rule on page 2 regarding English players:
- a player is English if he has England as his first nationality and is eligible to play for the England National team. If he has second nationality of another country also, he will be counted as English UNLESS he declares himself for that other country.
- a player is English if he has England as his second nationality AND has also got "declared for England" in his profile.
Hope that clears it up.
Its all good mate. I'll get it up for ya tomorrow.
My assembled team so far unfortunately I havent been able to get 30 players together i only have 24 and only 3 mil left but i was wondering if i can assemble 6 more in January and that will count, however i do have 3 late bids in as i speak.
My team so far.
GK - Joe Hart
DR - Andre Bikey, Loic Abenzoar
Dl - Emanuelson, Marcelo
DC - Fazio, Lescott, Vermaelen, Sakho
DM - Albelda, Zapater, Sankhare
MC - David Jones, Ramsey, Nolan
AMC/R/L - Wijnaldum, Barnes, Fleck
ST - Saivet, Farfan, Dentinho, Aquino
total of 96 million+
5 English men all in my first team squad.
However my only worry is i do not have a out and out striker.
P.S - middlesborough were asking 20 mil+ for Cattermole this only prooves how expensive english players are.
Havn't decided whos going in my reserve team and U18s but ive got my first game with Chelsea coming up now so let us know what you think
I was also wondering if i agreed transfers say in Febuary for a player to come at the end of the season does this count as one of the 30 ive got to get in?
Firstly, no mate, you need those 30 players before the first transfer window shuts. I'm surprised that you werent able to sign 30 because I managed about 40!
How much did you pay for those players? I think you might have over-paid for a few of them and thats why you're having problems.
The players you've bought are mostly all good. But where you made a mistake is not buying players who can cover different positions. For eg, take your CB's. Lescot, Vermaelen and Sakho can all play CB ofcourse. But they can all play LB too. Farfan is best on the left wing and he wasnt needed there because you have Marcelo who's excellent in that position. Instead of Farfan you could have bought a proper striker.
If you want to make up numbers, you should be able to buy atleast 4/5 youth players for that 4M you have left. You'll only need to pay some compensation. If you get lucky, you can buy the following players for the prices I mention:
Benoit Costil (700K - good backup GK and becomes quality)
Sebastien Grax (1M - good ST)
Lubos Kalouda (350K - would probably have moved though)
Eduardo (Botafogo - 1.1M)
So that gives you 4 good players for your first team. But their prices might have increased since you're nearing the end of the transfer window.
Sorry for the double post. I wanted to add: dont count too much on the free transfers in season 2. I'll be putting a few restrictions whereby the number of such signings will be controlled!
right , just got back in from the mrs' house..
bored of CS:S so gonna start up my game now...
im really happy with the team i have and think its gonna be a good season...
my only concern is a striker... i have plenty of talented young players but no proven goalscorer as such, luckily my tactic rely's a lot on midfield goals also so i should be ok
just finished my first game against everton
and what i see to be a respectable 0-0 draw away from home
My Starting Line Up
I've spent 86m on transfers so far
so still have some cash to improve the rest of my team
My Transfers
My problem with the striker situation was that no English strikers were good enough for cheap enough and the likes of Rocchi and Amauri wouldnt be let go for less than 10 million or else i wouldnt have been bothered with Farfan or Dentinho, one or the other but oh well gotta work with what i got.
Finished first league gaem lost 1-0 to Chelsea but hteir Centre backs and goalkeeper got 8s so they had to perform to keep me out.
Just beat Prague in champ league quals 2-1 away so in my opinion so far so good
thats a great looking team mate....
looks a lot stronger than mine tbh... plus , ashton.. great signing mate
am i allowed Bojan on loan?
"1. I decided to scrap the rule whereby you are forced to buy your loanee player next season if you play him a lot in season 1. It can easily be misused so best to let it rest. And you ARE not allowed to loan in Bojan if desired but again, only as a backup.
I'll post in more detail tomorrow but I'll just give a quick run over of some of the players I've bought and how the time might look. I've missed a few signings unfortunately and it's late so I'll go over it tomorrow. These players are listed in position of "Best case scenario", so if a left winger was out then I might use a winger in that position who can play on the left but is right footed.

Heres the game save mate. See if it works for you.
London United Save Game
You need to unzip the file and put it in My Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2008 > games folder.
Would have posted it earlier but the forum was down when I tried earlier.
I'm starting again as I think I've made some bad buys.
im considering it too..... id like to start again and bring in players to fit a new tactic ive built....
Ok, this is the first chance I've got to post since yesterday because the forum has been down.
I reached the end of the transfer window a while back. I posted all my transfers on Page 2. I've made a couple more signings though. I wont post the youngsters again, but:
First Team Squad
GK - Joe Hart (7M) and Ben Foster
LB - Eduardo (1.1M) and Onyekachi Apam
RB - Onyekachi Apam (6.75M) and Danny Simpson (5M)
CB - Miranda (4M) and Habib Bellaid (4.7M)
CB - Federico Fazio (3M)
DM - Alberto Zapater (7M) and Francesco Bolzoni (2M)
CM - Michael Johnson (16M) , Toni Kroos (4.3M) , Steven Defour (3.4M) and David Jones (free)
LM - Marcelo (5.5M) and Abdou Razack Traore (950K)
RM - Giles Barnes and Lubos Kalouda (350K)
ST - Amauri (6.75M) and Tommaso Rocchi (5M)
The only person I've added is Onyekachi Apam. He can cover all across the back and I was desperate for a little more stability. Done well so far.
Also, I've signed Sergej Barbarez for 525K as a tutor. He's got great mental stats so thought it'll be worth it. Could be handy coming off the bench too. Already got 1 hat-trick coming off the bench in the second half!
Anyway, I'm off to a great start imo:
Premier League
Top of the league after 5 games with 4 wins and 1 draw. Victories have come against Liverpool (away, 1-0), Wigan (away, 3-0), Bolton (home, 3-0) and Tottenham (home, 5-0). The draw was away to Arsenal 0-0. Should have won that game as well. They have Van Persie sent off after about 50 mins and I went on the attack. But the bloody GK (Almunia) got the MoM. Amauri was injured for that game though so I still thought it was a great result. So I've already played Liverpool and Arsenal away. And I've also got Man Utd and Chelsea away both before the end of October!!
Champions League
Got to be the unluckiest guy playing this game in terms of CL opposition! I drew flamin Valencia in the qualifiying round fgs! But managed to beat them 2-0 away and then thrashed them 5:0 at home. Helps when their managed is stupid enough to play Joaquin as a CM! Also helps when they have 2 players sent off!!
But the bad luck doesnt end there. Then came the turn to decide the groups. I drew Real Madrid, AS Roma and Besiktas ! Chances of getting through look bleak in that group. Will be happy with 1 point from the 2 Madrid games. Roma signed bloody Van Der Vaart. Their attack looks extremely strong too. Am playing them at home first so that's good. If I can get a victory, I'll defend with all I've got when I go their stadium! Hoping to beat Besiktas both times but even thats not a certainity!
Ah well, lets see how I get on.
Btw, I've thought up a few things for season 2 rules and I'll post them after a while. They wont be the final ones though. When I do post them, I'd appreciate feedback on them from you lot to see what you think. Cheers.
Is £12.75m for Joe Hart a good deal?

will post my team later on.
Thanks again.

A True Fan
Bit too much I think that. Try to get it down to a maximum of 10M. I got him for 7M flat. But that was because I got him unsettled.
You're welcome mate. I take it that the save is working for you?
Good to hear mate. Read the rules a couple of times so you're fimilar with them by the time the laptop comes back. There are quite a few of them!
Oh and btw, to make it easier, read the ones on Page 2. Its a little less cluttered and easier to read.
I left Hart and signed Stuart Taylor to fill in untill Foster returns from injury.
Ive gotta start again because all my reserves and u18s have been locked into my first team going to try to sign all the same players hopefull for less money
Sorry for double post but its happened with all my save games any ideas why??
A True Fan
Team looks good mate. Naughty naughty on getting free players just to fill up numbers! :P
I have NO idea why thats happening mate! Try to post it in the bugs section and see if you get any help there? Unfortunate that you have to start all over.
Yeah Hulk you got some good prices. You definitely got the best deals out of anyone here, them prices are really good. A lot of the clubs were trying to charge me extra because I was a big rich club. I wanted Crouch but Liverpool wouldn't part for less than around 30m since a potential rival in the league. Really good results you got there, pretty unbelievable tbh. You must have a really good tactic because although your team is good for the restrictions in all fairness your team doesn't really compare at the moment to the likes of Valencia since your players are so young. My players look really undeveloped at the moment . What tactic are you using because I've bought players for the same position so might have to use a different tactic if all goes wrong .
So far I'm not fancying my chances. I lost 1-0 to Sampdoria in the friendly but because I've just signed all my players and it was late last night I let my AM take that charge so hopefully he messed up. The start of the season looks awful, I haven't even watched my players yet. It goes:
Liverpool (Away)
Dinamo Kiev (Away)
Man City (Away)
Arsenal (away)
Dinamo Kiev (Home)
Tottenham (Away)
Man Utd (Away)
Fulham (Home) - God I have to win this
Chelsea (Away)
Really couldn't have asked for a worse start. I used the formation at Man City too (was level on points in third place, but had a better team) and it was good but not so much away so I might have problems. A bit worried I might lose to Dinamo Kiev in the qualifying stages tbh.
I tried to get Veron for MC even though he is 32 because he looks fantastic. I tried a cheeky 3m or so bid but couldn't agree with his club. I couldn't really justify, say 10m or so for a 32 year old but I guess if he played well it would have been worth it. I took a bit of a gamble and signed Riquelme. I remember on PES signing him and being disappointed, I couldn't play with him because he was so slow (although Kaebi was good but I don't think he is that good on FM). Although on FM07 he played very well for me so hopefully he will do the business along side Nolan. I signed Walker as backup for very little so I could bring Thiago Motta in on loan to help shore up the midfield. That price for Barbarez is awesome. I remember looking and they wanted over 2m which made me sad lol . I might look for a few tutors but I only have like 500k left I think. The team is looking something below. Although I might put Kalouda on the right, Farfan left, possibly Marcelo in place of Taiwo...will just have to see. I haven't really thought about that yet since I missed a few signings. Amauri looks good and Diogo will give it a slightly different complexion if he comes on. It'll be nice to effectively switch between Nolan, Zapater, McCann, Motta, Digard, Riquelme and Jones around the midfield, depending on who we play. I could do with some backup wingers though. Elliot looks good backup for right fullback and Vermaelen, Marcelo or Taiwo can hold down left fullback. Although they are wing back positions they mainly defend so need better defensive stats really. I wanted Wes Brown instead of one of the foreign defenders but United wouldn't sell to me. Wanted Downing too but ran out of cash. Overall content with the team and lots of possibilities although no amazing quality really. Gonna be relying on a set few players to get through the season.
Mate, thats a bloody good looking squad you have. How the hell did you manage to sign Taye Taiwo though????
As far as my results are concerned, I dont think its just about the tactic I use mate. I use the same tactic with Arsenal and I destroy teams with it. I posted the tactic on the Arsenal thread and a few people tried it but not with a lot of success. The reason I do well is because whenever I play a game, I watch FULL matches and not just the key areas. That is, unless I've got the match in the bag in which case, I try to cut it short. But the advantage watching the whole thing gives me is that I can see where my team is struggling and more importantly, where the opposition team is struggling. And then I keep adjusting my tactics accordingly. I do a LOT of tinkering in between the game when I play and thats part of the reason why I'm doing well.
Also, I find that going for fancy formations is usually going to do you more harm than good. Take yours for eg. I'm not saying its a wrong tactic or a bad tactic or anything. But its just too fancy for me. The only fancy tactic I like is Kimz's but its just too easy with that.
I dont have my players try to exceed their limitations and do things they cant do. My defenders defend and my attackers attack. Its that simple.
I'll elaborate for you later. I'm off to watch the match just now.
Just remember one thing though - your full back positions are the MOST important in the game. Its where the game engine tries to exploit you the most. Playing with wing backs can lead you into trouble sometimes. You need very good CB's covering for you in a tactic like yours. Vermaelen and Silva, while good, are not great. You're putting too much pressure on them this way and they'll get found out.
I know my way works. I've not conceded any goals in 8 games so far. And I usually dont concede too many. Part of the reason why I do well. If you dont concede, you cant lose!
3 games into the season and it's all abit iffy.
Newcastle away 0-2
Tampere United away 1-1
Middlesbrough away 2-2
It's hard to get the team to gel.
This is my squad, I haven't found my starting 11 yet so the 11 selected aren't specificly the 11 that will play the next game.
just a quick question if i buy 2 foreign players who are over 27 and over am i still allowed to purchase english players who are 27 and over?
Yes, you can. English players can be bought for as much money as you want, they can be given as much salary as you want, they can be as old as you want and they can be as many as you want.just a quick question if i buy 2 foreign players who are over 27 and over am i still allowed to purchase english players who are 27 and over?
hulk cheers mate. just made a list of 85 names i could potentially sign now just looking through them and deciding who my first choices are.
Did you download your tactic?
Can we buy one player for 10M+?
Ah I see. I used to have a lot of success with tactics on FM07 and used to play it a lot more so I made my own rather than tinker someone elses but I haven't put as much time into 08 and it seems more difficult. I had one with Leeds which I'll need to look at, I dropped it after I left Leeds but I won every game in the season using that apart from cups although I turned over 3 premier league clubs in a brave attempt. Really annoyed that save got corrupted but I played again from the start and think I lost 1 game that season, so I might do well to check if I saved the tactics from that. I tried with Kimz but didn't have a lot of success, I'm not really sure if the players I have fit his tactic I'll have to take a look, since I invested in wingers rather than good scoring AMC's. The tactic I'm using is from my last game & the reason I used it was because I was Man City and the tactic worked well there. Was third in the league on goal difference with United top, who, near the end of the season were still unbeaten and had drawn about three games. Pretty insane for a non player club.
I was happy with Taiwo. I wasn't too sure who to have at LB but their were a few good ones around. He usually leaves on my games for around 5.25m although it's not usually me that signs him I've just heard good comments about him. Thought I'd take a gamble on him and put in a bid of 5.25m all went smoothly. The players I had real problems signing was Miranda, who crazily his price kept going up to 6.5m, Alex Silva at 6.25 and Felipe who went cheap but I was in negotiations for like 2 or 3, possibly 4 weeks. I was holding out for Amauri to come through because I've never signed the lad before so wanted to be sure he'd be interested and ask for a decent wage and research him a bit since he'll be the star striker. I had actually agreed personal terms with Gudjohnson from barca but he's out for two months so probably wouldn't pass the medical (although it gave me the button to complete the transfer) but I thought I'd hold out for a TS (Amauri) and FS (Diogo). Hope I don't regret it but Gudjohnson doesn't look that good on my game, maybe because he's injured. I only have about 400k left to improve.
So if a game is in the balance you'll watch a full 90 minutes then? Wow I bet that takes forever . I might try it some time. It'll be quite different for me, since I usually sign the absolute best AM I can get regardless of cost and pre-design a formation to fit my players then skip most games. This does sometimes help though because I have the players I like and the AM has the players he likes and sometimes a varied approach helps. Anybody else disagree with the team Bergkamp suggests? Although for once I do agree with my AM on most the players in the team if I'm honest. Doesn't happen a lot.
A True Fan, I like your team. I actually don't know all the players in there so I'll have to look them up. Nice buy in Yoann Gouffran.
I did indeed. It worked very well at Manchester City so hopefully it'll materialize here. No cheating on there, no restarting (I actually know a lot of people in real life who play FM and I know most of them restart games).Originally posted by PoopyPants:
Did you download your tactic?
I got it from here
Oh okay, it just looked like mine tis all
just downloading the database i like this because its got more rules than just build a team and win everything! will probably start tonight if it downloaded quick enough! looks good will have to have a proper at the rules because i find it hard to follow them when there are loads of transfer rules and i wouldnt want to **** up. anyways will update once its available. your squads look good!
No mate. You cant.
Yeah, it does take time to come up with your own tactic but its well worth it. I HAVE to watch full games most of the time mate. I dont have a tactic which will win me a lot of games just on its own. Thats why I need to watch full games to see where I need a little tweaking. But trust me, once you get the balance right in the game, you'll suddenly see your team play the most beautiful ever. Its almost like watching a Derby team on their worst day in one instance suddenly transform to Arsenal on their best day. It does take time, but I find it worth it. It takes me a lot longer to complete seasons but I enjoy every single game I play!
Taiwo - the lad is quality mate. You've taken no chance on him. He's just sheer quality. One of the better LB's on the game. Thing is, I usually see him go for 13-15M so never even bothered doing a scout report on him! Stupid me! Would have been great on my left side even though Eduardo is doing a good job so far.
Gudjohnsen - dont worry, you did the right thing in not signing him. Not worth it.
Miranda - yeah, if you dont bid for him quick enough, his price starts going up as he attracts a lot of attention from other teams. Good player though. Doing well for me so far.
Bergkamp - well, he usually suggests decent teams but he keeps putting bloody Marcelo at LB and I cant have that. Most of the other positions are fine though but the thing is that AM's go on what a players "natural" position is rather than on stats. He keeps putting Eduardo out of the team because he's a "natural" CB (a position where I would probably never play him!). So I dont usually bother much with any of my AM's advise!
Good to see you joining in mate. If you need to know something just ask. I'd suggest skipping the rules I posted in my opening post and reading them on Page 2. They are bunched together there and are easier to read through.
by signing riquelme you have now convinced me to play the play game
i love that man. dunno how to mananged to get him though.
i'll post my progress on here asap
great idea btw
Meanwhile, here are a few exceptions and allowances to make the game a little easier atleast to start off:
1. Refer rule no.5. The exception is that you CAN sign a player who is only 26 at the time of purchasing. However, he should be 27 before the transfer window closes. For eg, if you buy a 26 year old in the first transfer window, he should turn 27 before or on 31st August. I add this exception because I notice that there are a few players that you can buy who fall under this category. Also, their price might increase if you wait until they hit their 27th birthday.
can i buy one who is 22 but turns 23 after i buy him? but before the transfer window ends?
so when hes signed for me he is 22?
Lol yeah he's awesome in real life imo. He was a huge let down on PES for me and then I wasted like 12M on him on FM07 when Danial Carvalho was just as good...but then again on my FM07 save Carvalho was a complete beast. Fingers crossed he can actually perform well from CM. Mate don't worry about signing him or anyone if you can get a bid accepted. I don't usually play with high rep teams so I was very surprised, but if nobody else wants to sign someone you can offer quite a low wage and people still accept. If you get an offer accepted you can offer quite a bit lower wages than they want but most will accept or at least compromise because they want to join. He'e still on a fair wack though....my highest paid player. About 45k a week I think. I'll look forward to seeing your team .Originally posted by EricCOYB:

Yes, he should ideally be 22 years of age when he signs for you. If the final transfer goes through a few days after his 23rd b'day (say a week?), thats cool too tbh.can i buy one who is 22 but turns 23 after i buy him? but before the transfer window ends?
so when hes signed for me he is 22?
ah thats good then thanks.
Felipe on his way to London Utd!
Just wondering how do you change 2nd nationalities on FMM?
also did you say we can loan bojan?
i wasnt sure either the rule is unclear as it says you are not allowed to loan bojan but only as backup
which doest make sense
must be a mistake
this looked alot easier than its turned out to be lol! money going down very quickly and im stuck for english players! havent signed any yet, could have some terrible ones in my first team which wont be good! almost done though once i get a few english ones.
also did you say we can loan bojan?You are right mate. It is a mistake. Sorry about that.i wasnt sure either the rule is unclear as it says you are not allowed to loan bojan but only as backup
which doest make sense
must be a mistake
To clarify:
I decided to scrap the rule whereby you are forced to buy your loanee player next season if you play him a lot in season 1. It can easily be misused so best to let it rest. And you ARE now allowed to loan in Bojan if desired but again, only as a backup.
Hope that clarifies it. I put "not" instead of "now" before! Silly type-o!
But do remember that the loanees are not allowed to play unless your other backups are all injured/suspended/unavailable.
thats cool still hes the best you could get really.
there isnt a rule about the english playing in your starting line up is there? just need 5 first team members.
Yep, thats right. Although, I really should include a rule to do that. Thanx for bringing it up. I was just working on some of the future rules. Will incorporate it in them somehow!thats cool still hes the best you could get really.
there isnt a rule about the english playing in your starting line up is there? just need 5 first team members.
it is one thing that i'm not sure about.. Is no transfer limit and age limit for english players? If so i can by like Owen for 20M?
right i just typed everything out then clicked reply again and lost everything so im not putting the prices because took too long lol!
if you ask i will put them in.
but overall i spent every penny!

GATESVILLE (October 25, 2012)--A Granbury man pleaded no contest in Wednesday in Gatesville to aggravated sexual assault of a child in an event that happened in January in the Pearl community.
State District Judge Trent Farrell sentenced Bryan Ray Roe, 33, to 45 years in state prison after Roe pleaded no contest to sexually assaulting a disabled boy on Jan. 7 at a music festival in the Pearl community.
Coryell County Justice of the Peace Coy Latham said the original complaint was signed based on a report that a 9-year-old special needs boy was lured away from his family to a different location nearby and sexually assaulted.
The victim and his family were attending a monthly bluegrass jam festival at Pearl, about 21 miles west of Gatesville.
Latham said neither Roe nor his victim was from Coryell County.
Roe was arrested at the scene in Pearl.
During the investigation deputies learned Roe was a high risk registered sex offender.
He later confessed to the allegations.

This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
I've successfully used the format found in "Logic Puzzle" magazines.
These are those puzzles that you solve on a grid of possibilities.
Usually they are things like work out which pet belongs to which person based on a list of statements.
These can be easily adapted to a fantasy or other setting and given a reason for needing to be worked out.
For example:
Now given some clues the players have to work out who wore which mask and favoured which drink. If you introduce the fact that we know which mask killed the mayor, then there's a reason to work things out to deduce who was wearing that mask.
For example
Given those clues we know it wasn't the Cleric that did the deed. A couple of more clues will lead us to the actual murderers identity.
It's easy to adapt the puzzles you can find online and just change the wording of the people/items and clues.
Also you could have more clues backed up to give the players, and give different amounts of experience based on the number of clues they needed to solve the puzzle.
You could integrate this into skill challenges by having skill checks to reveal the clues.
Kobold Quarterly has been doing a great series called "Encounter Codex" that presents some great puzzles that feel well integrated into the situation rather than just imposed artificially. Here's the most recent: http://www.koboldquarterly.com/k/front-page6486.php
The Eberron D&D adventure module "Seekers of the Ashen Crown" also had some nice puzzle-type traps. I only mention it because I recently read it and was impressed.
http://www.cloudkingdom.com/ is a resource specifically for this. Their source books work for any RPG. Plus they have a riddle of the week on their site.
Sometimes physical puzzles like tangrams or puzzle blocks can be fun for players. Especially if they find one piece at a time and then have to figure out how or when to put it together.
Back in the old times when I did some dungeon crawling scenarios I put my players through some contraptions inspired by "the incredible machines".
I designed some door and traps that were possible to open, but one had to find out how. They were based on simple mechanisc, but it's hard to solve when you see only some parts of the construction. Especially when you see only throuhg your GM's voice :)
I hate to give this kind of answer, but I will anyway: don't do this. Or, to be less of a jerk: don't do this unless you're sure your players like it, too. The problem with riddles and puzzles is that they yank players out of their characters and into riddle solving mode. As someone said, puzzles are for players and not characters to solve. This makes them especially effective at making the player disregard his character. If you're trying to run a game in which character role-play is important, puzzles can create a big risk of derailing things.
Some puzzles can be great, and the more integrated they are with the game world, the better. If you go looking for puzzle sources online, bear in mind that it may take a lot of effort to convert them to something that really fits in the game world and that the characters, rather than the players will have to solve.
After all that, I have no really good resources to suggest. Sorry.
You might also try issues 2 & 3 of Raggi's Green Devil Face, which is specifically focused on that sort of thing.
My Turkish folklore teacher was always talking about the book "Bilmece: A Corpus of Turkish Riddles". I'm not recommending this book per se, but I'd like to point out that other cultures have a riddle-ing tradition, so searching the academic folklore world might yield some interesting results.
The logician Raymond Smullyan has a number of well-regarded puzzle books, each containing hundreds of logic puzzles varying in difficulty and theme. He also includes many anecdotes on paradoxes, logical dilemmas, and lexical gags that could make great inspiration for NPC dialogue:
It occurs to me that a lot of groups play Cthulhu games this way: GM presents clues, players try to solve, the occasional skill-roll helps or hinders. I suppose my take on it is that puzzles work best in games where the player-characters are 'problem solvers' of some kind. Otherwise I tend to avoid them for the reasons of being too OOC as already mentioned

The 'continue' keyword in Java (and probably in many other programming languages) is used to skip further execution of the current iteration.
Why was the name 'continue' chosen? Why not something more straightforward like 'skip' ?

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.
While most likely not a very big difference and programmers would have been able to handle it just the same:
"continue" makes it clear that the loop will go on processing data (stop the details, continue the loop), while "skip" could be thought of as terminating the loop totally (like break in C++). It's one of those cases where it can be difficult to find the "perfect" name for some functionality. Ruby and Perl use "next" in similar situations which to me seems a slightly better choice.
I guess it might have to do with history of programming languages.
To ask why it is continue in Java is to ask why it is continue in C++, which is to ask why it is continue in C, Algol etc.
To my knowledge, Fortran was the first to have a CONTINUE statement, actually a no op. It was just there to make it possible to place a (numeric) label used in goto or other constructs like:
The first line introduces a do loop that, when completed, continued execution at label 42.
I always thought of it as just continuing processing data and therefore it was named "continue". I have never seen anyone have issues with the choice of the continue keyword not being straightforward enough.

Box Score | Game Notes
HOUSTON (April 11, 2013) – Jack Combs scored two goals late in the third period, but the Rampage were unable to complete the comeback, as San Antonio (23-34-2-6) fell to the Houston Aeros (37-25-5-5), 4-3, on Thursday night at Toyota Center.
Combs scored at 16:44 and again 18:53 of the third period to bring San Antonio within striking distance, but the Aeros were able to hold on in the waning moments, despite a flurry of chances from the Rampage. Combs now has eight goals in his first 13 games for San Antonio.
Netminder Dov Grumet-Morris turned aside 38-of-42 shots and Andre Deveaux tallied his seventh goal of the season and his first in more than two months in the defeat.
Houston tallied the first three goals of the game, creating a deficit that proved to be too large for the Rampage to bounce back from. With the defeat, the San Antonio is now 4-5-1-0 in 10 games against the Aeros this season. The divisional rivals will meet two more times in the next nine days to wrap up the season series.
Houston opened the scoring at 9:20 of the first period while on the power play. Grumet-Morris made a great save by pulling the puck off the goal line moments before the Aeros lit the lamp. Chad Rau collected a rebound at the bottom of the right circle and flicked a backhand past Grumet-Morris.
The Aeros opened up a 2-0 lead with a goal from Justin Fontaine at 14:56 of the first period. Fontaine one-timed a rebound off the pad of Grumet-Morris to give Houston a 2-0 lead. Both teams recorded 15 shots on goal in the opening frame, but the Aeros held a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes of action.
Houston forward Zack Phillips made it a 3-0 game at 3:13 of the second period when he charged the net and deflected in a pass from Rau at the top of the crease. The goal was Houston's sixth straight against the Rampage dating back to San Antonio's 3-2 overtime loss in Houston on April 4.
Deveaux blocked a shot from the point in the defensive zone and created a breakaway on Aeros netminder Mike Condon at 12:32 of the second period. Deveaux made a smooth forehand-to-backhand move before depositing the puck into the net to make it a 3-1 game. The goal came on San Antonio's third shot of the period and marked Deveaux's first goal since Feb. 9 at Charlotte.
Grumet-Morris stopped 19-of-20 shots in the second period to keep the Rampage within striking distance, as San Antonio trailed 3-1 after 40 minutes of action.
The Aeros reopened a three-goal lead when David McIntyre lit the lamp at 11:54 of the third period off an odd-man rush. Aeros forward Jason Zucker collected his second assist of the night on the play and now has tallied 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in nine games against the Rampage this season.
Combs lit the lamp on the power play at 16:44 to make it a 4-2 game thanks to a great play by defenseman Alex Petrovic to keep the puck in the offensive zone on the power play. Combs then found the puck at the top of the crease and banged it past Condon.
The Rampage forward stuck again just 2:09 later to make it a 4-3 game. Jared Gomes and Colby Robak collected assists on the goal.
San Antonio pressed hard in the final moments of the game with Grumet-Morris out of the net in favor of an extra attacker, but were unable to beat Condon to tie the game.
Houston went 1-for-4 on the power play to improve to 12-for-58 in the 10 games against the Rampage this season, while San Antonio was also 1-for-4 with the man advantage and now is 6-for-42 in the season series.
The Rampage and Aeros will square off again on Saturday at Toyota Center with a 7:05 p.m. puck drop. The Silver and Black will return to the Alamo City on Sunday for a tilt against the Texas Stars at 3:30 p.m. for the last Express-News Sunday Funday of the season. Tickets for all remaining Rampage home games start at $10 and can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

Centering Toolbar Items
Hello, everyone.
Hopefully, a simple question: is there any quick-and-dirty way to center the content of a Toolbar?
It's left-flush by default, and right-flush if you add a fill. Is there any way to center it?
I've used Firebug to inspect the HTML code that the Toolbar scripts create and tried most of the basic centering tools (display:block and margin:auto, text-align:center, align=center, etc.), but they all seem to be overwritten by the flush-left alignment unless I add a greedy spacer.
I didn't expect this to work, but I also added a second greedy spacer to the other side. Sure enough, no luck.
I'd hardcode margins, but the area that the toolbar is being placed in is relative to the window size, so it would not adjust accordingly.
Thank you very much.

Animal, thanks much! I was actually looking for this as well!!

Same problem but different
I have a upper toollbar in a panle. The only element i have in the tollbar is a combo box.
I tried to center the combo box the way you explain. It works on firefox but in IE only the combo box is centered but the combo-list is not. The <center> does not effect the list.
Am i doing something wrong??
17 Jul 2008 10:30 AM #7
I think it only affects the box. The list of items inside the combo box itself do not have any way of aligning that I am aware of.
25 Jun 2011 5:39 AM #8
You can use flex-config as placeholder to center elements in your toolbar ... in Ext 4:
dockedItems: [{ xtype: 'toolbar', dock: 'bottom', ui: 'footer', items: [ { xtype: 'component', flex: 0.5 }, { xtype: 'button', text: 'Button 1'}, { xtype: 'component', flex: 0.5 } ] }]

can you use div tags to align it centreTool for 1channel movie watching site


text:
I hope this isn't too broad a question, but basically, I find myself constantly trying to keep track of many different things. I'm wondering how other people do this. For example, I have:
- a list of movies I want to see
- recipes (tagged with stuff like: type of food, side/main dish, how long it takes to make, etc.)
- lists of bars & restaurants, tagged with neighborhood, price, type of food, and other misc. labels ("want to try", "good for groups", "my parents would like this", etc.)
- links to online videos I want to watch when I have time
- shopping lists
- general todo lists
- online articles to read (generally longer stories to print)
For the simple lists (e.g. movies) I have been using tadalist.com, which I like a lot for really simple things. But then it gets more complicated with stuff like the recipes and restaurants. I had been using general firefox bookmarks and xmarks to sync them, which are awesome (I can just type "recipe seafood" in the address bar, and everything I tagged with recipe and seafood pop up), but recently due to changes with the proxy server at work, xmarks no longer works there (so since I'd be bookmarking/tagging things both at work and at home, this is a deal-breaker). I haven't found any other non-clunky bookmarking/tagging system, but I am definitely open to options.
Then there are the articles to read - here I've been using instapaper and readitlater. However a lot of these come from RSS feeds so they just stay unread in Google Reader.
If there's a video I want to watch, I often email it to myself. I ignore 90% of the stuff in my inbox (partyly because it's cluttered with stuff like this) and 100% of the stuff that's not in my inbox, so this is useless.
So my general questions are: am I going about things the right way? Should I using all these different sites? Should I be using gmail in someway to store everything? And what can I do about those sites that need ~5-10 tags per bookmark and have to be easily searchable by those tags?
How do you manage stuff like this?

[2.1.3 / 2.2.0 Beta] Dialog + Firefox = Maximize bug
there is a bug with maximized dialogs (that means GXT windows with a buttonbar):
- the maximized height is larger than the container height, a scrollbar is visible and the buttonbar is below the botton viewport edge
- the buttonbar gets a strange color
- this only happens in firefox (3.6.x here)
- this also happened in 2.1.3, so it's not a 2.2.0 specific bug
The test case is extremely simple:
PHP Code:
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.Dialog;
import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
public class GxtBugs implements EntryPoint {
public void onModuleLoad() {
Dialog dialog = new Dialog();
dialog.setSize(400, 400);
2 Aug 2010 7:12 AM #2
Works fine for me against both versions. Can you post a screenshot of how it looks like? Can you publish the build version of this somewhere, so i cna access this?
2 Aug 2010 7:16 AM #3
Just was able to reproduce it. It is the shadow, it should get hidden while maximized.
2 Aug 2010 7:24 AM #4
Does the shadow also have influence on the dialog content?
Because the dialog itself looks larger than it should be (which means the area between the titlebar and the buttonbar is too large).
I can't add attachments here because my firefox freezes when I close the attachments window for some reason.
Do you already have a possible fix for it?

You can also send me the screenshot by firstname.lastname@example.com
2 Aug 2010 7:31 AM #6
This doesn't fix the problem.
I added a screenshot to the original post. Maybe it helps.
2 Aug 2010 7:32 AM #7
Does not look like that for me at all. Is it possible you can compile that application and upload it somewhere so i can access it?
2 Aug 2010 8:05 AM #8
Unfortunately I don't have any webspace to upload it, but I added it to the original post as an attachment.
I had to remove the "resources" folder (gxt images, css, etc) and the gwt-servlet.jar from the WEB-INF/lib folder so I could upload it here (max 400kb allowed)
Sorry for the inconvenience.
2 Aug 2010 8:15 AM #9
I also need your css files and images as i wanted to make sure you use the correct once there too.
PLease email it to firstname.lastname@example.com (only the compiled output, war directory or whatever you called it)

Portable USB Keyboard, Stand & Double Pocket Case for $9.99 + free shipping
For 7 & 8" Android Tablet PC
5 Comments add a comment
How many Androids have a mini USB connector? I have had five and none have mini USB. Doesn't say if it's full size keys or how much smaller.
And would someone tell me what a "zzz" key does on any computer? I've never had one.
My portable bluetooth keyboard stopped cooperating and I could go for a replacement, but it sounds to me like this won't work.
@banai: the ZZZ should put it to sleep.
Presumably, you could purchase an adapter (mini-micro, or mini-full, depending on the tablet), but I think I'd prefer Bluetooth overall.
My tab has micro USB, but I already have an adapter.

What are the pros and cons about building a bike from scratch vs. buying it new?
Sign up

The pros of buying pre-built are the cons of building your own.
Each approach is born of very different requirements. That is, the person who is actually likely to build their own is very unlikely to buy off the shelf and vice versa. (I assume that 'build from scratch' also covers getting the LBS to do it for you to your specification).
I would caution everybody thinking of building their own that you will get much better 'value for money' if you buy pre-built. A $1000 pre-built will get you much higher quality parts than a $1000 build your own. This disparity seems to reduce the sillier the price becomes at the high end.
You will need access to some specialized and expensive tools (thanks Gary!) and the skills to go with them.
There is, as always, an intermediate stage where you source everything yourself but have the LBS do the trickier jobs like headset pressing, bottom bracket cups and steerer tube cutting/star nut pressing. Just remember that your LBS is a business and needs to make money - so buy the parts from them if you want them to fit them!
Buying New
Build Your Own
The list by Bryon is great, but I have one more addition - In addition to buying parts, you need to buy or have access to a number of specialized tools and the knowledge to use them.
If you are like me and find the dis-assembly, cleaning and re-assembly of your bicycle a zen-like and cathartic experience, this is a "pro", otherwise it may belong in the "con" column.
Building from scratch is cool because you really get to build a bike that suits your needs perfectly.
Buying a built bike is cool because the price of the whole thing is usually lower than the sum of its parts. Also, you're sure that you won't mess anything up while assembling the bike.
So if budget isn't an issue and you know what you're doing go ahead and build, but the popular idea is often to buy built and modify some parts as you go.
EDIT: I might add that if you build your bike you get to "know" it really well and it will ease the maintenance since you'll already know how each part works. But you can get the same knowledge by dismantling your pre-built bike for an end-of-season/beginning-of-season maintenance.
Building your own anything (bike, shed, computer) is more about the "yeah, why not?" than the "why should I?"
Most people wouldn't begin to think about it for a whole raft of reasons - ability, cost, quality. But if you're the kind of person to even think the question, most of the cons just evaporate after a little thought, preparation and practice.
Why shouldn't I do that? - no good reason at all, apart from the facts that I know that I probably couldn't actually do it, it would be quite pricey and I'm not sure I'd want to ride the result in traffic ...

The entire section on The Simplicity of God may help to clarify this, if there's any confusion. The main contributing points, I think, are that God's essence and existence are one in the same, that God is His own essence and existence, and that God is absolutely simple.
There can be no accidents in God but God has created life so that accidents exist for every member of creation. The reason why no accidents can occur in God is already couched in your question, I presume rhetorically.
Nothing in God is truly contingent upon the existence of something else. As God alone is infinite, all that he is is without boundary or parts. Being infinite in knowledge and infinitely wise to decide every best choice in time, before he created time, means for want of better words, God chose everything before anything existed to chose between. As he can not change and can't improve in that decision for want of knowledge or perfection he can't be properly influenced outside of himself.
In time, to our human understanding he appears to be influenced by many things, for example our desire for him, our prayers, etc., but there is much truth to our perception. The only correction needed is that God chose before the foundations of the world that he would be influenced by us at any given movement based on his own properties from eternity in infinite self-sufficiency.
Nature, including humans, are in the opposite position on this point. It's properties and attributes are under the influence of many things especially God. While God can't be influenced man always is.
Perhaps being forgiving and compassionate might be attributes contingent upon something else, namely the existence of an entity requiring compassion and forgiveness. God, in and of himself, requires no forgiveness or compassion for weaknesses, as he has no weakness or sin.
Of course, the argument that being compassionate and forgiving might be an accident could easily be offset by saying that those attributes are really only extensions of love, which would be something that would already exist in God on account of the fact that the trinity already expresses perfect love among it's members.
I would probably have to vote no on this one. It is we who change, not God.

I have been playing through Diablo 3 and I have noticed I often feel as though I am lost, forgetting character names and who did what. I find myself on the Wiki a lot filling in plot holes. (Usually in my brain not in the writing)
What are the names of all of the books/resources I can read to better understand Diablo as a whole? Do these books corespond with the games at all, or are they just general stories outlining the Diablo world in its entirety?
Also, sidednote: Are there any bundles out there like the Battlechest that can net me several of these books in one purchase?

After offering his home to displaced Hurricane Sandy Victims, Newark Mayor Cory Booker for some people, topped that by getting hundreds of free hot pockets for Newark residents.
After a Newark resident tweeted Booker about running out of Hot Pockets, Booker responded by saying, "I believe in you. I know this is a problem you can handle."
Soon after, the Hot Pockets company reached out to Booker about giving "Newarkers" coupons for free Hot Pockets. The company sent an official letter to the Mayor Booker the next day.
Now many Newark residents have access to a delicious treat and if Booker decides to run against Governor Christie next year he definitely will have Hot Pocket Lovers in his corner.
