Two races over the weekend and two wins for HEAD World Cup Rebel Lindsey Vonn. Win number 26 in Super G, further extending her record for most wins in the discipline was emphatic. Lara Gut attacked all the way down but a small mistake in the run in saw her take second place with Connie Huetter taking third.
Vonn equals record for most wins in Women's World Cup Downhill
Lindsey Vonn continued her impressive collection of superlatives in taking her 36th World Cup Downhill win in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee. The race was changed from the traditional one run format into a two run race due to the snow conditions yet this did not seem to phase Vonn. Vonn won by exactly a second from Larissa Yurkiw with Connie Huetter in third. Kajsa Kling made it a great day for the HEAD World Cup Rebels in taking fourth pace.

My friend is buying a digital point-and-shoot camera, which he wants to use to click family pictures including a lot of pictures of their newborn son.
What camera qualities should he be looking for while buying?
My friend is buying a digital point-and-shoot camera, which he wants to use to click family pictures including a lot of pictures of their newborn son.
What camera qualities should he be looking for while buying?
Family pictures aren't really a subject that requires a special camera model or feature. Newborn photography can be quite challenging on the other hand. Features that will be important to this type of photography would be all of the features that you would buy a DSLR for - large apertures, off camera flash, fast continuous shooting, low noise high ISO performance, and near instant shutter lag.
You aren't going to find all of these things in a point-and-shoot camera, but you can find things like a f/2.0 lens, better high ISO performance, and a hot shoe. Another thing you could look for is getting a fixed lens point-and-shoot that doesn't extend the lens each time, and that will speed up the time till the first shot. But most of these are either the very basic entry level models with much smaller apertures, or the bigger PEN sized cameras.
Look for:
Newborns don't move that much, but large apertures and bokeh is nice for this type of photography. When they are awake, they flail their hands and feet around so much, that it can be difficult to get a sharp image indoors without additional lighting. Not to mention in only a few months they will start moving QUICK! That is when the high ISO performance will really come in handy.
This list may SEEM obvious. A camera that:
General Usability:
Quite a lot more could be added, but I'll see how that's received. I may add more if it seems useful so far.
Any recent camera from an actual camera manufacturer (a company that also makes interchangeable lens cameras) will be ok.
You should ignore mega pixels (any modern camera is going to have enough megapixels) and digital zoom (that usually is just cropping) those doesn't mean anything.
Everything else is a tradeoff - for example 10x zoom is great but that zoom lens is going to be big and the camera isn't going to fit in your pocket.
If you can test the camera before buying take some pictures indoors under your normal lighting and make sure the picture is good with no excessive noise, check that the focus is fast enough and the shutter lag (time between pressing the shatter and taking the picture).
It's basically the same advice I gave on the DSLR recommendation question - get a camera that is good enough and spend your time taking pictures not reviewing cameras.

There are 365 negative commandments which correspond to the days of the (solar) year (see Makos 23b; Tanchuma Ki Seitzeh 2). Apparently the prohibition of Gid HaNasheh (sciatic nerve) corresponds to Tisha bAv (Zohar I:170b). Is there a list of the other 364 commandments and their corresponding days?

The Maharal in "Tiferes Yisroel" perek 4, explains at length why the amount of negative commandments corresponds to the number of days in the solar year and the positive commandments to the limbs in the human body. Basically he says that the purpose of the negative commandments are to keep the world in order similar to the never changing properties of the sun. "Ein Kol Chadash Tachas Hashamesh"-"There is nothing new under the sun"- Koheles. The positive commandments are to elevate a person's body to be B'Tzelem Elokim. (By the way the gimatria of B'tzelem Elokim equals 248.)
No. The Jewish calender is a lunar calender, which actually has 354 days (unless it's a leap year or has the extra day in Kislev). The entire idea of 365 days is from the Julian calendar a solar calender, which has no Judaic origins. This is completely coincidental.

The #1 ranked St. John boys basketball team defeated the host Ellinwood Eagles 77-29 on Tuesday for their ninth win of the season. While the game looked fairly close in the first few minutes, that didn't last long as St. John junior Zuriel Reyes started knocking them down from all over the court and the Tigers defense was picking apart the Eagles for the win.
It seemed like Reyes had the magic touch in the first quarter, netting six baskets, three of them from long range. His total for the game was 30, making 75 percent of his shots.
Much of this was possible, the product of St. John's "up close and personal" defense, forcing ten Eagle tourovers in just the first quarter alone.
"Zuriel shot the ball well with 12-16 shooting. Dean finished much stronger inside." said St. John's head coach Clint Kinnamon. "Kade again had numerous steals that led to easy baskets. Team wise, we turned them over 29 times."
Starting the second quarter leading 19-6, the Tigers doubled their score, getting 21 points while holding Ellinwood to just eight. Reyes hit his 4th and 5th three-pointer, and senior Omar Ramirez had three baskets and one free throw. Sophomore Dean Wade made two baskets, getting six points for the half.
"Our shooting percentage was pretty good last night from 2." said Kinnamon. "We didn't shoot it quite as well from 3 as what we have been where we only shot 30 percent last night."
The score at halftime was St. John 40, Ellinwood 14.
"We did a very good job running the floor last night and has several good pitch ahead lay ups and finishes." said Kinnamon.
Both Ramirez and Wade made eight points in the third quarter, St. John stretching their lead to 43 and going into the fourth quarter leading 63-20.
Going with a running clock, the Tigers scoring was spread out with junior Kade Kinnamon making two baskets and senior Spenser Nusser, Reyes, Wade, Ramirez and junior Trey Nelson, each making a basket.
The final score had St. John winning 77-29.
"Our concentration was not where it needed to be, we had way too many turnovers, most of which were unforced" said Kinnamon. "On the road especially, you have to keep that number far below where it was."
"During the game, I tried to get some good conditioning out of it with our guys and I believe we accomplished that."
Scoring for St. John: Reyes 30, Wade 16, Kinnamon 9, Ramirez 8, Nusser 8, Sisco Calleros 4, Nelson 2.
Free throws: 6-9 for 67 percent - Wade 4, Kinnamon 1, Ramirez 1.
Three point goals: Reyes 6, Ramirez 1.

"Judge not, that ye be not judged.
"For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
"And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
"Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Meek and humble gets a lot done.
Outside of the Bible, one of the greatest things to read about how to lead people to do good things is John Wooden's Pyramid of Success.
The 15 blocks making up the pyramid are called:
Team spirit
Competitive greatness
Not once did Wooden talk about winning in building the pyramid.
"This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
"So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
"And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
"And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst." - John 8:6-9
If you watched the postgame interviews after the Ravens beat the Patriots in the AFC?Championship game, you saw that New England coach Bill Belichick refused an interview.
For any coach on any level, if you have no problem giving an interview after a win, you do the same after a loss.
Anything less is not right.
We have no idea what changes he has made in his life.
We don't know about his walk with God, as I do not know about yours.
I understand why people are not fans of his, as I understand why people are not fans of a ton of other athletes.
But, please...
He can be like John Elway or Michael Strahan and walk off as a champ.
Not a bad thing to do.
I like that.
Lewis has 44 tackles in three playoff games.
I know the Jefferson County girls basketball team that I coach can be successful in a loss, whether it be by five or 50 points - or anywhere between.
A loss does not mean the game is unsuccessful.
It just means it's a loss.
Getting a B on a test can give a lot of students a great big smile.
We don't need to knock that smile off their face with, "Why didn't you do better?"
Competitive greatness, as defined in Wooden's pyramid, is different for everyone.
Look in the mirror to find yours.
For an amateur golfer who plays once a week, that standard may be breaking 95 consistently.
For students who take a language class and really is not in their element, an 80 might be that mark.
That does not make you better.
Understand your strengths and work hard on your weaknesses.
He gave a 17-minute speech, widely considered the best speech ever given, in front of the Lincoln Memorial during the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
A portion of the speech...
"I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today."

Imagine a new hot-dog selling venture. Let's also say there's only one supplier to purchase hot dogs from. Instead of simply charging a fixed price for hot dogs, that supplier demands the HIGHER of the following: $1 per hot dog sold OR $2 for every customer served OR 50 percent of all revenues for anything sold in the store.In addition, the supplier requires a two-year minimum order of 300 hot dogs per day, payable all in advance. If fewer hot dogs are sold, there is no refund. If more than 300 hot dogs are sold each day, payments to the supplier are generated by calculating $2 per customer or 50 percent of total revenues, so an additional payment is due to the supplier. After the first two years, the supplier can unilaterally adjust any of the pricing terms and the shop can never switch suppliers. Read More

I just wanted to know your views about what do you think which programming method like php, dot net etc was better for creating website according to seo point of view.
Best programming method for helping in SEO?
Php is better from SEO point of view. But other languages are also used for SEO. There is no hard and fast rule for creating a website. SEO is a method to optimize a site it is not limited to any language.
It does not matter what backend language you are using to generate the output HTML.
I'm new to web designing and programming and I find PHP + Ajax to do much everything I need.
I thing it doesn't matter which technology you are using for creating a website. But i will say Scripts and animation are not SEO friendly.
HTML programming method for helping in SEO.
According to my thinking Language does not matter in SEO. Technique used for doing seo matters in the result of seo.

Textbox maxlength attribute behavior
In HTML, the maxlength attribute of a Textbox prevents user from typing texts greater than what is specified by maxlength attribute.
However, GXT's TextField.setMaxLength(...) method is used for max length validation only. It does not prevent user from typing texts greater than max length.
Is there any HTML maxlength equivalent attribute exist in GXT's TextField widget?
20 Oct 2008 5:14 PM #2
Anyone has idea on how to set the maxlength html (prevent user from typing more than the length specified) attribute on TextField widget?
20 Oct 2008 5:25 PM #3
There's probably some additional configuration you need to do if this is similar to ExtJS. Search ExtJS forums and you'll find something.
PHP Code:
fieldLabel: 'First Name',
id: 'firstname',
name: 'FirstName',
//use autoCreate so the maxlength setting for form textfield and
//numberfield components respected on onkeyup/onkeydown, rather
//than just when the form is submitted.
autoCreate : {
tag : 'input',
type : 'text',
name : 'FirstName',
//if don't specify this in autoCreate then just specifies size="6"
maxlength : 6

A group that supports Fort Campbell will be in Washington as automatic budget cuts loom.
Citizens for Fort Campbell makes a yearly trip to support the military community around the U.S. Army post on the Kentucky-Tennessee border.
James Chavez, who leads the Clarksville Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Committee, told The Leaf-Chronicle there may not be a more critical time for the citizens group to uphold the post. The group will be in Washington from Wednesday through Friday.
Montgomery County Commission member Tommy Vallejos says he has friends at the post whose pay will be cut 20 percent if the March 1 reductions kick in. Some have been at Fort Campbell for decades.

Never ones to let an opportunity for fun pass them by, members of Durango Friends of the Arts had a busy and entertaining July.
On the 12th, about 70 women gathered at Mary Husemoller�s lovely Lake Durango home for the annual potluck luncheon. In a summer that�s been so hot, the refreshing breeze coming across the water made it a perfect day for an alfresco gathering on her veranda.
After a quick meeting led by President Carol Bruno, it was time for the entertainment. Because DFA�s mission is to support local artists and arts organizations, the group has a tradition of asking grant recipients to show what they do.
This year, Durango Children�s Chorale Music Director Amy Barrett managed to corral (chorale, get it?) several children to demonstrate both their singing and how they learn to sing in a highly effective way.
On hand to sing were Calvin Chase, 10, the son of Art and Donna Chase; Andrew Papineau, 11, the son of Lenny Papineau and the late Mary Ellen Albright; Channing Syme, 9, the daughter of Roy and Tanya Syme; Camirose Hatten, 11, the daughter of Brad Hatten and Ruby Jo Walker; and Emma Vigil, 9, the daughter of Wivinia and the late Kevin Vigil.
Barrett chose pieces that displayed her students� abilities. They sang �Festival Alleluia,� by Allen Pote; �Come Closer,� by Daniel and Christine Kallman; �Shake the Papaya Down,� arranged by longtime guest conductor and clinician for children�s chorale supporter Ruth Dwyer; and �The Eagle,� by Douglas Beam, with the text by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. (They�re learning about poetry, too.)
Daniel Kallman heard the chorale sing his song on YouTube. Some of our students actually improvised bird calls, which he found delightful, and couldn�t believe he hadn�t included them in the original composition. Kallman was so impressed, he sent them new music to perform this year. I don�t think there can be a higher compliment than a composer wanting a group to sing his music.
Barrett asked the children what they liked about singing with the Durango Children�s Chorale, and the answers varied widely from enjoying learning to sing to singing in front of an audience.
Members were impressed. In addition to the grants DFA has given the chorale several times, the women �passed the hat� at the potluck. I guess passed the hat doesn�t have to be in quotation marks, because it was an actual hat. All told, they raised an additional $600 for the chorale, and Barrett was visibly touched.
It�s always fun and games with DFA, and they played the �Purse Game,� before going into lunch. They had made a list of items women were to look for in their purses, and the woman with the most would win a beautiful purse made by JoAnn Trimberger. Deborah Miller clocked in with nine items, far surpassing the competition. Among the items on the list were a bobby pin, a safety pin, a pen from a local bank (one from a local newspaper didn�t count, alas), a DFA pen, a sticky note, an expired grocery coupon and little blue pills. (Don�t go there � this is a family newspaper.)
Continuing her streak of generosity, Pat Lorenzen donated a necklace to be auctioned with monies raised going to the Grants Fund, and a bidding war ensued. Keep an eye on Ann Huttner�s neck. She�s going to be wearing some beautiful jewelry there. Lorenzen also donated striking yellow and purple floral arrangements as centerpieces, which several lucky women took home. It helps to be on crutches � no one wanted to take me on, so I enjoyed mine until it finally bit the dust Monday.
And then, lunch. What can one say about a potluck where some of the best cooks in town bring their �A� game? Two of my personal favorites were Deborah Uroda�s butternut squash lasagna with homemade noodles and Sandra LeFevre�s strawberries. My, what a little bourbon and some freshly ground pepper can do to dramatically change a fruit we love.
On Saturday, DFA members held their inaugural Artists Market at the Edgemont Ranch Picnic Grounds. More than 700 people showed up to shop at more than 40 booths, while Steve Dejka and one of the Stillwater Foundation combos (the foundation has several, and the foundation is another grant recipient) and Andy and Betsy Janeczek entertained. In the food tent, Hebrew National hot dogs were a hit.
�They�re the best hot dogs in the world,� Bruno said.
In the children�s play area, Dan and Susie Ammann had their hands full, with a number of other volunteers stepping up when they realized what a popular attraction it was.
The only downside was how hot and dry it was � Nancy Macho made a lot of friends among the artists by keeping them hydrated. You�ve gotta love a woman who serves you water on a silver tray.
Next on their fundraising calendar is a progressive game day at Edgemont on Aug. 16 � bridge, Scrabble or mah-jongg, anyone? And of course, the organization�s biggest fundraiser of the year, the 22nd annual Style Show, Luncheon and Silent Auction.
It will begin at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 28 at the DoubleTree Hotel, and with a theme of �Happiness is ...� there�s sure to be some joy for everyone. Tickets are $40, and reservations with payment must be sent to Myriam Palmer, 463 Cottonwood Creek Road, Durango, CO 81301, no later than Sept. 24. I�d get my reservation in earlier rather than later, though, because I predict this one will sell out early.
(And don�t forget to wear a memorable hat � the judges are perspicacious, and the prizes are great. I�ve been looking for an opportunity to throw that word in!)

�The hills are alive with the sound of music� (for real) for the birthdays of NancyWelch, Nellie Boyd, Pat Smiley, James Trump, John Hening, Marian Hamlen, Brenda TeBrink, Caroni Adams, Emily Jordan, Henry Campbell, Ollie Mallett, Nadine Ontiveros, Joe D�Augustino, Ken Portz, Eric Christensen, Frank Mapel, Vickie Hose and Merrilee Fleming.
Music in the Mountains is presenting a beautiful 26th season in the midst of unthinkable tragedy. A major bravo goes out to John Pennington and Artistic Director Greg Hustis for coming up with the perfect response to the mass shooting in Aurora � Leonard Bernstein�s quote upon the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which was as apt on Saturday at the Festival Tent at Durango Mountain Resort as it was in November 1963.
�This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before,� Hustis quoted. And boy, did they.
In 1997, pianist Aviram �Avi� Reichert won the bronze medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition playing Sergei Prokofiev�s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C, Op. 26. Later that year, he made his d�but at Music in the Mountains, reprising his prize-winning performance.
One of the best gifts I have ever received was the recording of his performance at the competition courtesy of Judith Reynolds, and I had to listen to it again before Reichert revisited the piece for his 15th anniversary with the festival. I didn�t think he could get any better, but like a fine wine, he has grown in musicality and lyricism while maintaining his meticulous technique. Wow.
The orchestra continued its dynamite performances during the second half with Peter Tchaikovsky�s Symphony in F minor, Op. 36. What Music Director and Conductor Guillermo Figueroa is able to achieve with one or two rehearsals with a diverse group of musicians is one of the wonders of the festival.
As one of the 40 or so attendees at Linda Mack�s pre-concert lecture, I, at least, was able to more fully appreciate the Scherzo: Pizzicato ostinato movement, or sustained plucking of the stringed instruments along with staccato counterpoint by the brass and woodwinds.
Mack said: �There�s no separating their music from their lives, what was going on in their hearts and heads.� Understanding the difficult lives both composers lived makes their musical achievements even more remarkable. I was left with one question: Has there ever been a composer who didn�t have a tough go of it? Hmm, I think some reading is in order.
Figueroa had a surprise in store for the audience. In honor of the evening�s theme of Russian Rhapsody, Russian-heritage Conductor Emeritus Mischa Semanitzky and the numerous talented Russian-trained musicians, both in the orchestra and soloists, who have graced us with their performances, the festival staff members served up shots of vodka � Russian vodka � during intermission. (There was pink lemonade for the under-21 and nonimbibers in the audience.)
On Thursday, St. Columba Catholic Church was alive with the music of four out of six Brandenburg Concertos and a packed house. Hustis joked that if they were performing all six, the parishioners at St. Columba would be serving us breakfast, but truly, I think we would have been up for all six.
Daniel Morgenstern�s harpsichord � he actually built it, and it�s a work of art in its own right � gave the concert a true period feel. It was easy to imagine being in a nobleman�s drawing room or church in Bach�s time hearing the concerti performed for the first time.
A number of the musicians we see in the Festival Orchestra had the chance to shine. From a personal standpoint, I, like many longtime attendees, was struck by the timelessness of a concert that can feature flutist Jean Larson Garver, who has performed in all 26 seasons, including with the first orchestra of 11 musicians. And soloing with her was Chloe Trevor, who began her musical career at Music in the Mountains as Arkady Fomin�s student at Conservatory Music in the Mountains.
This is how festivals build strength and continuity.
Enjoying fresh squeezed lemonade and picnics in the part for their anniversaries are Dan Martin and Melinda Riter, John and Judy Peel, Harlan and Bonna Steinle, Jack and Mary Irby, Tom and Diane Higgins and Bob and Calla Mae Tyner.
Here�s how to reach me: firstname.lastname@example.com; phone 375-4584; mail items to the Herald; or drop them off at the front desk. Please include contact names and phone numbers for all items.
I am happy to consider photos for Neighbors, but they must be high quality, high resolution photos (at least 1 MB of memory), include no more than three to five people, and I must know who�s who, left to right, and who to credit with the photo. Candid photos are better than posed, and photos should be submitted as .jpg or .tif attachments.

Boston Conservatory Names Project Team for Building Renovation
You are hereHome/ Boston Conservatory Names Project Team for Building Renovation
BOSTON, MA—The Boston Conservatory, an internationally renowned college offering degrees in music, dance and musical theater, has selected Lee Kennedy Co., Inc. to serve as the builder and KVAssociates to serve as the construction project manager for the Hemenway Project, the expansion and renovation of the Conservatory's theater building at 31 Hemenway Street. The two firms join Handel Architects as the team responsible for the Conservatory's transformation of its 60-year old theater building. Renovation will include the addition of 16,000 square feet of new rehearsal and studio performance space, air conditioning, handicapped accessibility, improved seating and a host of technical upgrades in its 340-seat theater.
"The Hemenway Project is a symbol of the Conservatory's progress, its growing reputation and its future," says Boston Conservatory President Richard Ortner. "Moving the project forward in the current economic climate has been a challenge, but our planning with the City of Boston, with finance and design partners and with our neighbors has put us at the starting gate of an effort that will transform life for our students, our faculty and our audiences."
Each firm selected brings an extensive background in management and execution of major building and restoration projects in Boston. Quincy-based Lee Kennedy Co., Inc. led the reconstruction of the Cutler Majestic Theatre (along with the new Tufte Performance & Production Center) at Emerson College and Sanders Theatre at Harvard University. KVAssociates has managed construction projects for Boston Residential Group, Boston Medical Center, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and WGBH Headquarters. Handel Architects designed the award-winning Ritz-Carlton, Boston for Millennium Partners, as well as the renovation of the Santa Barbara Bowl and the new Flushing Meadows Corona Park Natatorium and Ice Rink in New York City.
According to Curtis Kemeny, CEO of Boston Residential Group, vice chairman of the Conservatory's board of trustees and chair of its facilities task force, "We have assembled an exceptional team to bring this long-awaited building project to fruition. Each of these firms has a track record of successfully completing iconic buildings in the Boston area. Working with these firms, we intend to re-establish The Boston Conservatory's place on the map."
Groundbreaking for the Conservatory's Hemenway Project will take place this May with project completion scheduled for September, 2010.
Temporary Relocation
With the 16-month-long theater renovation, classes that currently take place in the theater building at 31 Hemenway Street will be relocated to temporary rental spaces in the Fenway neighborhood where the Conservatory is headquartered. Similarly, faculty and administrative offices located in 31 Hemenway will be moved to rented or renovated space within the Conservatory's current campus. Performances will relocate to other schools, theaters and performance spaces in the Boston area.
Diversified Project Management, Newton, MA, will undertake the large task of vacating the 31 Hemenway building—which has been continuously occupied since its construction in 1949— relocating academic and performance materials and equipment into temporary spaces and coordinating the relocation to the newly renovated Hemenway project in September 2010.
"We know the reconstruction will be disruptive, but maintaining the integrity of our programs for current students is a high priority," says Ortner. "Careful planning with an experienced move coordination team will help minimize the challenges of undertaking major construction on our small campus."
The Boston Conservatory Secures Loan and Additional Fundraising
Funding for the Hemenway Project—which marks the first major facilities initiative undertaken by the school in 50 years—comes from a mix of financing and fundraising. Of the total $30 million project cost, the Conservatory will raise $12 million in contributed funds and borrow $12 million long term, with Wainwright Bank providing principal underwriting. In addition, the Conservatory has secured $5.6 million through the US Treasury Department's New Markets Tax Credit program. The Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation (MHIC) acted as principal syndicator of those credits, with participation of the Nonprofit Finance Fund and Coastal Enterprises, Inc., of Maine.
Ortner notes, "This is a complex transaction and we're grateful to all the participating entities for their diligence. The success of our efforts speaks to the soundness of the Conservatory's financial health and the belief here in Boston that this project has outstanding merit."
The fundraising goal of $12 million is a major part of the Conservatory's first capital campaign, which has an overall goal of $16 million. To date, the Conservatory has raised a total $10 million ($7 million for the Hemenway Project and the remainder for the annual fund and the endowment).
"Fundraising is a great challenge in this economy but we remain focused and optimistic," says Ortner. "In fact, one of our overseers recently issued a board challenge that could bring us to 75% of our goal. We are actively working towards this and have every confidence that we will be successful."
Funding for the Hemenway Project has also been provided, in part, by the Cabot Family Charitable Trust and the Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund, a program of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, administered through a collaborative arrangement between MassDevelopment and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

Top 10 Fascinating Pets
Thinking of getting an exotic or different sort of pet? Take a look at these top ten fascinating pets to see if you have what it takes. Remember, while tame pets are kid-friendly, your children should be properly supervised when handling them. Before purchasing an exotic pet, make sure to check the legality of the pet where you live.
1 of 11
A pet chipmunk may not play fetch like Fido, but he can dazzle you with simple tricks or casually use you as a perch. Chipmunks are not low-maintenance pets, but they make great companions. They require human contact (especially when young), plenty of room, and a variety of foods, including seeds, fruits, and vegetables.

I asked a question on SO and I have a pretty good idea that very similar questions had been asked on SO platform (and they are still open), but not with the specifications I came with. Then, just because I annoyed one of the high-profile kind of member, he closed the question. Is it a fair move? Should we tolerate this behavior because SO is running autopilot with the agenda: high scorer is free to twist anyone? Or should we expect some openness in this platform?
[Again, there are number of 'unclosed' similar questions on this subject are available on SO] The question is about Cloud and VPS and my intent is to seek knowledge about which one to choose for high-performance hosting and why would people go for Cloud if they already have option of specifically->VPS (in which there is a virtual machine which "can be extendable on demand" as well). Whereas on cloud such as Windows Azure (for which MS has clearly stated that even the customer is European and the data is hosted in outside US, the patriot act shall be applied), we have almost same set of opportunities while risking the privacy. Having said that, why would someone chose Cloud when VPS technology exists?
After few hours, it appeared that someone doesn't like my question (or he is, in some way, fanatical about that patriotic act) and he knocked it off...just like that! Naturally, people tend to agree with the credible entity, but isn't it inhumane?

cerud - Now now....play nice,they're the sole reason why Canada are half decent on my save.British Columbia have produced a bit of talent but Vancouver has produced zero

C.D. Vitoria - Liga BBVA - Youth Candidate Day 2024
The Candidates
The Hot Prospects
1. Oscar Etxebarria - The Ass. Man's pick
2. Yon Etxebarria
3. Andreas Savvidis - The second pure foreigner to come through (Reuter is the first!)
Manager's Thoughts
With regards to defence,this has been a good candidate day as I only needed a decent keeper.Oscar is that good at a young age he is already regarded as the third choice keeper but I only have four anyway!Yon look like he will be good right back in the future but we are that short at the moment nationally,I will take anything!As for Savvidis,not had a good defender who can use both his feet so he will be very useful in the future,I also noted he is the 2nd pure breed foreigner to come through the system.I'm not entirely sure at how foreigners like that can come through,maybe the Youth Recruitment is starting to pay off.
An interesting thing to note is that there are three Extebarria's at the club including me.The start of my date of birth is 29/09,Oscar is 28/09 and Yon is the 27/09.That to me is quite freaky overall three people with the same surname and born at the end of September!
Also one of them is my son but I will let you guess which one it is.Anyone who guess's right can have a cookie.
Last edited by B.W.G; 09-07-2012 at 11:51.
Trick question, they are your twins.
Part of me has to route for the U.S.A,my great-great-great Gran was from Frankford but I'm not sure which one has the 1911 census only says Frankford,America!
Wrong,can't be twins as there is a day separating them!
Edit:Actually is possible but they're not twins!
Maybe not one was born at 23.59 pm the other is born 00.01 am
I know,I edited it as I remember the twins I went to school with.The girl was born 20th October at 23.45,the lad was born literally seconds after 00.00 on 21st October.Was funny listening to her boss her brother round as she was older then him
I've just caught up with this. Glad to see you finally picked up that Champions League trophy last season.
And I too bow down to the brilliance that is Iker Sola.
Cheers fella
He's that good,he makes me bow down as well and I'm the manager
Oscar. Because maybe the ass man would want to please you to say your son has the most potential out of this intake.
A great intake, a few potential gems there.
Because Rancer said Oscar, I'll say Yon Just so both are picked
And train up the Cypriot, make him into a world beater!
Sorry Rancer but my ass man lives up to being an ass It is Yon but I am worried that he has a short temper.
JackJCFC - That's is the best w've had in the last few years.Just need more attackers coming through to make it even!
Scarman - Good guess,luck is on your side!The Cypriot should become quite good,I'd easily have him the Spain u19s so Cyprus have got quite a talent on their hands.
C.D. Vitoria - Liga BBVA - March 2024
League Table
Manager's Thoughts
With regards to the Champions League,we beat Twente 4-0 in the 2nd leg to record a 8-1 on agg victory,that easily could have been double figures if we finished our chances properly,this has also set up a tasty Quarter Final tie with Real Madrid with the winner going on to face Inter Milan or Man City in which I hope it's the latter.
The league saw us beat Sevilla 3-0 in which should have been more but for finishing,We destroyed Espanyol 8-2,the funny thing about this was Sola was sent off after 33 minutes so I took off Santamaria and put on Diez who also got two in the match!Sola got a three game ban and we did miss him against Real but we put in a brave performance and stole the points.We didn't have any trouble against Deportivo and Almeria in which the major highlights were Angelo Roman scoring a cracker against Almeria as well as Diez's hat-trick against Deportivo.
April sees two games against Real in the CL as well as two games against Barcelona with one of those being the Copa del Rey final.The league sees us face Barcelona and At.Madrid as our toughest games but we also face Betis who still haven't secured a win and have only got 9 games to do so!Sola scored 8 in 4 for the month and was banned for the rest so that wasn't too bad,he is on 117 in 43 games for the season.He is fully rested so good luck to Real Madrid who we face first in April!
Last edited by B.W.G; 21-06-2012 at 21:34.
Is it me or is sola starting to get suspended alot :S ?
That basically sums Sola up,scores a lot and gets banned a lot.In 11 seasons (roughly including this season),he has 9 red cards and 123 yellow cards.He once got 23 yellow cards and 3 reds in one season.Sola is basically a more prolific Balotelli
You must be a proud dad.
I am indeed,he's made a fantastic start to life in the u19's,he's made 4 appearances and even has a goal
That's awesom that you have a son! Never had that before.
Do you need to be at a club for ages or something, as I've never had one, but the other example I can recall is FMAnderson's popular thread about it a couple of years ago (and he got a stadium named after him) so I was just wondering if there was a connection.
Think it's extremely rare,read somewhere it was something like a 1 in 10,000 chance.I've not actually got a stadium named after me,still at the good old Vitoria Stadium.This is the first time I've had on in any CM/FM since I started playing them in 99!
You're son is talented which you should definitely be proud about. Some have mentioned that they have a son but they're crap.
You should be proud as well,not only did you have a son but he was capped by his country as well Thanks god for a bit of luck,all I need is a personal stadium which is a decent size and I should be set
C.D. Vitoria - Liga BBVA - April 2024
League Table
Manager's Thoughts
Sola came back with a bang as he put Real Madrid to the sword in both legs as we went through 3-1 on agg but he did pick up a booking in the 2nd leg which ruled him out of the 1st leg of the Semi-final clash with Inter Milan.In the end we didn't need him as we put Inter to the Sword as we won 4-0 which put us in a fantastic position going into the 2nd leg.If we are to progress to the final then we will face Arsenal or Tottenham.
In the league,we basically finished things off.Beat Granada 7-1 after having Aranburu sent off after 9 minutes for two bookable offences!Destroyed the useless Betis 8-0 and they now have to finish with the lowest points total in Liga BBVA since the start of the save,we drew with Athletic which was a massive disappointment as we did enough to actually win the game but I guess it wasn't to be.Don't think I could have asked for a better way to clinch the title then by beating Barcelona 4-1,we absolutely dominated them start to finish and the winning margin could have been a lot bigger than three.Finished the month off by beating At.Madrid to carry on our domination over Madrid in general.
May bring's the Champions League semi-final second leg which we are in a brilliant position to reach our second CL final.We have a tricky tie against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final,we may have beat them in the league but that means nothing in a final.The league I am not bothered about,we can win all our remaining games as Valencia is the most difficult of the ties we have left.Sola is now on 133 goals in 51 appearances and with the teams we have to face,I am expecting him to get to 140!
Last edited by B.W.G; 26-06-2012 at 11:51.
Nice, League title in the bag, and a Chapions league final apperanc almost secured.
133 goals
Great work in the league, winning it at a canter in the end. Good win over Madrid in the CL too, hope you can win it!
TheGreatTraveler - Cheers fella,we lost the battle but I won the war against Inter.We lost 1-0 but went through 4-1 on agg Sola isn't normal,he got 4 against Getafe and now has 137 goals for the season!
JackJCFC - Thanks We're into the final where we will face your nemesis......Arsenal.....they are currently 7th in the Premier League and make the final of the Champions League.
Right May is over and I am pleased to say that we completed a clean sweep.We out Barcelona'd Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final and I finally got one over Arsenal as we won the CL 2-1
All that will be covered in the end of season update.I will be looking to get the build up for Euro 2024 and Euro 2024 update done next.
Yay, take that Arsenal!
I think I want Sola tested for performance enhancing drugs!!
I want him tested for performance inhibiting drugs!
Thanks guys
Don't worry Sola is straight edge.He doesn't drink,doesn't smoke and doesn't do drugs.Being straight edge means he is better then us
Also he is chipped so if he does anything wrong then he gets shocked!
Spain - The wait till Euro 2024 is over!

Manager's Thoughts
We've done what we can in the build up to the tournament and I am mighty relieved that we finally get some competitive fixtures as friendlies bore the hell out of me.We generally have a good squad with nine of the team coming from Vitoria,while the others are mainly youngsters who are impressing for the clubs.The fullback positions are a concern as of now but they will be sorted in the future with talent coming through the numerous youth systems.We should be able to get to the latter stages of Euro 2024.
If we are to succeed then it will be mainly relying on Sola as I do at club level,he only needs two goals to reach 60 for Spain but we tend to do better in competitive fixtures.We have a strong midfield with exception to the left wing as I had no choice but to use my own two wingers as no other club actually has Spanish left wingers so I had no choice but to select mine.Lets hope I don't crack under pressure as we are the hosts to the tournament.

I think the real winner at the Euro's will be the team that concedes the least to Sola
So that's the Netherlands then,we beat them 3-1 but Sola didn't score,he then went on to bag a hat-trick against Ireland
Bad luck of the Irish.
SRL88 - That is brilliant
deltablue - They had no luck of the Irish,they finished 3rd in the group and qualified.In the 2nd round they only got drawn against us!We beat them 5-0 with Sola getting another hat-trick and we're now on to face France in the Quarter-Final.
You faced them in both the group stage and 2nd round? That doesn't sound right.
I know,I'm not entirely sure how this whole format works from Euro 2016.I know the top two teams go through and then it's a number of 3rd place teams after that.Not even sure how the draw would work for that.
Good luck at the Euros- I'm sure you'll beat France!
Cheers fella,we did beat France with a very difficult 2-1 victory.We face England in the semi-final with the winners facing Germany.My plan is to ruin any chance of the old rivals meeting up

Manager's Thoughts
We started off the tournament with a bang and it pretty much ended with a wimper.We eased through the group stage with a 100% record while knocking in 13 goals in the process.In the 2nd round we were drawn against Ireland which I didn't think was possible unless draw is random,we did better against them then we did in the group stage as we won 5-0 with Sola getting a hat-trick.
We had a tricky tie against France in the quarter final which was made harder by the ref,we went 2-0 up with ease then the controversial decisions started,we had a goal ruled out for a "foul",had Aranburu sent straight off for what should have been a bookable offence then he France scored from an offside position,thankfully we held on to mover to the semi-final.We were against England in the semi-finals and we gave a real Jekyll and Hyde performance,brilliant in the first half and terrible in the 2nd but a Sola double was more then enough to send us through.
We were a minute away from losing the final against Germany when Perez popped up and scored in the 3rd minute of injury time to take it to extra time.Extra time was more exciting than normal time but we couldn't finish our chances to win it so it went to penalties.We held our nerve and won 3-2 on penalties but the penalties were really poor,there were five penalties from fourteen converted!
Sola was the top scorer with 15 which set a new Euro Championship record,this also puts him on 73 goals in 47 caps which puts him 1 goal behind Torres's record of 74 goals for Spain so he is 99% likely to break it by the end of the year!
Congratz on winnin the euros now bring the world cup
Good job on the Euros! You're right, it definitely began with a bang! Stunning group qualification!
Congrats on the euros, looks like a close run thing in the end.
Great from start to finish.
Thanks guys
Don't worry buzz2k7,that is definitely on the agenda but we have the small matter of the Confederation Cup in 2025 as well as qualifying for the World Cup
Well done in the Euros and another fantastic year with Vitoria! How much is Sola listed as worth?
He's listed at £36.5 million or in FM 12 U.S dollars... $58 million! I'm also very tight when it comes to wages,Sola only earns £47k a week
47 k a week?! the stars of today could learn a thing or two from him
Very good performance at the Euro's
buzz2k7 - Lets hope he never nearly crashes his car if he hears he is only getting a small pay rise
Scarman - Thanks fella
C.D. Vitoria - Liga BBVA - End of Season 2023/24
2023/24 Transfers
To show that I am following the rules by not signing players from other clubs.Not much done really,those who left the club permanently were never going to make it.Loaned Azpiroz out again for the same fee to the same club,he is a good backup but with my players rarely getting injured,I felt loaning him would be for the best.Azpiroz has actually generated us £1.5 million in fees from loans so he has done quite well in my opinion!
Liga BBVA
League Table
I failed at one of things I wanted to do and that was to go the season unbeaten,the team who ruined it was Barcelona as we lost 3-1 to them in December.We drew with Osasuna and Basque rivals Athletic.We set a new record for points and goals with the latter probably be never beaten by anyone.Sola showed his scoring abilities by scoring 86 league goals.As a team we scored 8 goals in one game twice,7 goals in a game once and 6 goals in a game unbelievable nine times!Not a single team really threatened us as At.Madrid didn't gel quickly enough,Real sold their best player to Man Utd and Barcelona were adapting to new ways under a new manager who hasn't got much time left as they appointed another manager who was over 60!The biggest shock was Betis getting two wins and two draws in their last 4 games,(one of the wins was against Real Madrid!) to avoid becoming the worst team ever to play in Liga BBVA by two points!
Champions League
Just total annihilation came from us competing in the Champions League,we finished top of the group with a 5-0-1 record,we lost to Inter 3-2 but that didn't matter.We scored 31 goals just in the group stages with the biggest win being 9-0 against Zurich.We had Twente in the Knockout round and they were no match for us as we beat them 8-1 on agg.We were given Real Madrid in the quarter final,how we came out with only a 3-1 agg victory is beyond me as we dominated them in both times.The semi-final saw us up against the only team to get something against us in the CL in Inter Milan,we destroyed them 4-0 in the first leg and that was without Sola playing!We lost 1-0 in the 2nd but it was more then enough to see us go through with relative ease.The final if we had lost it,I'd be demanding goal line technology,we had had balled cleared off the line no less the 4 times during the game,this was probably the easiest 2-1 victory I'll ever record.This victory confirmed three things,first being sola is unstoppable,2nd being we finally ended our Arsenal hoodoo and 3rd is that London clubs have now failed twice in a CL final at Luzhniki.
Club World Cup
This was easier then winning the Euro Super Cup against Sevilla,we beat Al-Ahly in the semi-final 9-0 in which Sola got 6.We then faced Velez who I would thought be more difficult but no,Sola destroyed them by himself as he hit 7 in the 8-1 win.Surprisingly this wasn't Velez's heaviest defeat in the CWC final as they lost 9-0 to Man Utd in 2019!Sola scored 13 in 2 games to show there is no team in the World who can stop him.
Copa del Rey
This was a lot easier then I actually expected it to be,we beat Ferrol 13-1 on agg in the 4th round.We were drawn against Real in the 5th round which I thought would be a very hard challenge but no we disposed of them 7-0 over two legs.Quarter finals saw us face At.Madrid and I made a decision of playing most of my 2nd XI and we disposed of them 3-1 on agg.We had a easier semi final against Zaragoza,I decided to play most of my 2nd XI but they did let me down a bit and especially in the 2nd leg but we still went through 4-1.As for the final,Barcelona didn't know what hit them.As you can see,we destroyed them from start to finish,my only problem was our finishing as well as Santos getting sent off for the third time in the season!
European Super Cup
The Europa League winners just couldn't cope and were lucky that it didn't hit double figures,I was disappointed we took the foot off the gas in the 2nd half but 6-1 was still a really good scoreline,Sola top scorer hitting three goals as well as the post.
They were more a threat then Deportivo were a season before but that doesn't even say a lot as our 2ns XI beat them 4-1 in the first leg before our main team finished them off in the 2nd leg to give us a 6-1 victory.
Players,Stats and Awards
Best XI 23/24 - Overall Best XI
A quick look at the Players Stats!
Iker Sola
Noone will be surprised by the revelation that Sola was top scorer as he hit 150 goals in 57 appearances.His performances saw him land absolutely every award possible barring the ones MAR and Aranburu won.There isn't a striker close to his ability who can play up front on his own like he can do.He broke the record for league goals with 86,20 in Cup Competitions and absolutely destroyed Continental Competitions as he netted 44 in 15 games.He even scored 30 in 15 international appearances which would have take his overall tally to 180 goals in 72 appearances!The scary thing is that he is only 25 so he can possibly play till around 33/34which will give many defenders and goalies nightmares for years to come!
Miguel Angel Rodriguez
To absolutely nobodies surprise,MAR topped the assist chart with 65!That isn't only a record for the Club and FM12 but also on any FM as my previous best was 62 on FM11!He assists,he scores and there is literally no more then I can ask him to do!He played 55 times,scored 22 and provided 65 assists while averaging at 8.24 for the season.His performances saw him land Jugador Espanol del ano in a Vitoria 1-2-3 ahead of Aranburu and Perez.He still has about two years to his peak but he should be able to keep going into his 30's as he doesn't really have any major challenge to his position.
Markel Aranburu
My assistant manager now rates him as the best MC in which I think he is showing bias as I believe Reuter is.Never the less,Aranburu is definitely in the top two MCS for the club,made 54 appearances this season,scoring 15 times and providing 28 assists which was a brilliant return.His performances saw him pick up Jugador joven del ano in what was a Vitoria 1-2-3 as Perez came 2nd while Roman came 3rd.
Special Mention - Sergio Perez
This youngster has gone and taken over the spot of Unai Gurrutxaga in the AML,he's normally been a back up but when Gurrutxaga got injured at the start of the season,Perez took the opportunity by both hands and it was next to impossible to find a reason to drop him.He has more caps at International level then I would like but we got such a shortage of wingers that I actually had no choice but to call him up.Played 49 times and scored 11 goals and provided 28 assists while averaging at 7.89 which was pretty brilliant for him.He is one of two youngsters (other being Angelo Roman) to have usurped the old guard.I would also like to take this opportunity to laugh at Athletic Bilbao scouts for failing to pick him up,Perez was born in Bilbao but cam through our system,not bad considering most of the team come from Vitoria!
Now how can I top this season,we won everything in style and I have very little left to achieve with Vitoria,we are the 4th biggest team in the World behind Arsenal,Bayern Munich and the number one team.....Real Madrid.If we can repeat the feats of this season then I see no reason why we can't move up the board into the top three or possibly even higher.My stadium cannot be expanded any more so it is a case of waiting for a new one which will probably be around 2035 if I've done my maths right.It was a brilliant season and we practically owe it to Sola who scored 150 goals,there will never be a more deadly lone striker.
It's took me a long time to do this report as I have actually been considering my future,I have a contract till 2027 which will see a lot of plyers at their peak but I have the English leagues loaded and I have seen something really scary,Liverpool languishing in League 2!It's the end of the 23/24 season,there is no way they should be down there.I was actually contemplating doing to them what I've done to Vitoria so far,only in Liverpool's case it would be restoring them to glory.I do feel that I have unfinished business as I want to get Sola to as near 1000 goals as possible and needs 442 goals to do so if you include international goals under my management.

Iker Sola - The race to 1000
He needs 442 goals to reach the 1000 goal mark and he is 25 so it is going to be a close run thing unless he can reproduce his form in the last two seasons which should help.If he scores around 60 goals for the next 8 seasons then he will definitely get it but he still has two seasons roughly till he hits his peak.We will know better in a couple of seasons time whether he will actually hit the mark but I will keep playing him till he retires.At Spanish level,he needs one got to equal the Spainish goal scoring record and two to beat it,the holder is Fernando Torres with 74 goals!With the group I have for World Cup qualifying,there is no way he won't finish 2024 being the all time top scorer for Spain!Code:Season Apps Goals Av.R ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013/14 9 5 7.07 2014/15 45 12 6.90 2015/16 43 35 7.48 2016/17 39 13 6.94 2017/18 36 20 7.15 2018/19 24 15 7.33 2019/20 51 29 7.27 2020/21 59 49 7.46 2021/22 58 78 8.11 2022/23 55 106 8.57 2023/24 57 150 9.00 International 47 73 TOTAL 523 558
Let's go Sola!!
150 goals split that between 6 different players you you still probably have league leaders
The guy is unstoppable and will probably reach the 600 career goal mark in less then half a season.I can't expect too much off him though as he is now one of the old heads of the team
I think he will get 1000 goals before his 30s
No pressure then,needs 100 goals minimum per season as well as some international goals to make he sure gets it done then
Average rating of 9.00 for a season is just insane.
Another brilliant season. Well done.
JackJCFC - The guy is insane from top to bottom.He was bald at 15,he is a dangerous as Balotelli when it comes to doing stupid stuff,he is the most prolific goal scorer I've ever had and he just terrorises anyone he plays against!
SRL88 - Cheers fella Still want that unbeaten season though
C.D. Vitoria - Liga BBVA - Pre-Season 2024/25
Overview - Facilities - Boardroom Overview - Expectations - Finances
Pre-Season Fixtures
Not much to say here,we won these fixtures with ease,to make things sound even better,the friendlies didn't even feature Sola who will be 100% fit ready for the seasons opener.
The Team
Team Report - Tactics
Key Players
Jose Zubillaga
Ignacio Romero
Daniel Reuter
Iker Sola
Just the one change to who I have dubbed as my key players,I've taken Rodriguez out and put Reuter in as most of our attacks actually start with Reuter,so he not only starts attacks but he can provide assists as well as score and will more then likely be the next entrant into the '100 Club' as he needs 5 goals to reach 100,also needs 21 assists to get to 100 as well.The rest of them are they best in the positions and will do what they always do and that is play to their best.
All there is to do is to carry on as we do,the main objective is to go unbeaten in the league to claim the tag 'invincibles' as we have never done that and that is the only thing to do.Our youth facilities are being upgraded as due to technological advances,it originally downgraded but the board agreed to upgrade them straight away.We've had under soil heating installed which is weird considering I've never had a game postponed at Vitoria Stadium.Maybe when a new stadium is built,I may get a roof!With only using youth players,it has helped build funds up which currently stands at £140 million and will probably increase as the seasons progresses so that will help in the future.
Still got three years left on my contract and that will see most of the players hitting their peak which will get me started on bringing the next lot through the system to keep things going.Perez and Roman are the youngest in the teams but we have very good defensive youngsters coming through,hopefully we will get some attacking youngsters through in the next couple of seasons and that will keep us going with ease till 2035!The last interesting thing to note,we've had Reuter capped by Luxembourg,Roman capped by Canada and now last season hot prospect Andreas Savvidis has been capped by Cyprus at the age of 16 years and 239 days!Let this season go off with a bang by beating Barcelona in the Supercopa!

I doubt he'll have much trouble getting 1000.
Last edited by deltablue; 27-06-2012 at 13:29.
Ha! Philadelphia scored on you! Feel the power of the Union! Oh....you scored 6?.....crap. Nevermind
deltablue - I think your right with that,even Barcelona could't cope with him in the Supercopa,we won 9-0 on agg with Sola getting 7 of them,the only thing stopping him getting more was Josep who is Barca's number one as well as the Spanish number 2!
cswalk08 - To be fair I did go easy on them,Philly scored from their only shot on target from the penalty spot in the 90th minute!If I had played Sola then it would have been double figres no doubt about it.
I figured. MLS doesn't seem to progress much relative to big Europeans clubs (not including the edit I use in my career thread), Philly especially. You should make them your feeder club! Send some of your young players to develop over the summer months instead of them doing noting.
In other games,I have actually seen Philly win the CWC but I'm guessing that was a freak save.The edit your using is quite brilliant,I played it with Manchester Mavericks.Will try and make Philly my feeder club eventually,might help with the marketing side of things to bring in more income.I guess I could loan some of the younger players out
C.D. Vitoria - Liga BBVA - August 2024
League Table
Manager Thoughts
Well that turned out to be a lot easier then I originally expected.We beat Barcelona 9-0 on agg,we won 4-0 in the first leg after having Perez sent off after 3 minutes!The 2nd leg was too straight forward considering Barcelona fielded a strong team,if it wasn't for the keeper then we could have hit double figures.Valencia looked like a tough opener as they finished 5th last season,played a match and found they were really poor,Sola scored six while MAR and Reuter both scored from 35 yards out.We were really poor against Schalke and they took the lead but we somehow went in 2-1 up,we then completely dominated the 2nd half with Sola getting his trademark hat-trick.
September is here and there is not much too think of it as Malaga looks to be the most difficult game,we also face Espanyol,Sporting,Celta and Real Sociedad in the league so I'm not exactly too threatened by them.The Champions League has been drawn and we face Bayern Munich,Panathinaikos and Young Boys which should be a straight forward group really,we kick off away to Panathinaikos which is the only CL game in September.
Iker Sola has been on fire hitting 16 goals in 4 appearances at club level while no internationals have been played.He wants a new contract but I've refused so far as he has one till 2028,probably give him one the end of the season with a decent payrise.
Last edited by B.W.G; 29-06-2012 at 11:19.
Not the worst of starts to a season.
Definitely not,it was frustrating in the first half of the Schalke game as I know they can play so much better.
The inevitable has happened with Spain,Sola has become the all time top scorer!
Boy did he do it style and it wasn't San Marino
Last edited by B.W.G; 29-06-2012 at 11:19.
So Sola is having an off year?
Sola is a one man army,it's the rest of the team letting him down!
In other news I gave full debut's to Oscar and Yon Extebarria in a 5-0 win against Malaga.They both impressed me enormously,Oscar scored a 7.10 in goal and Yon played a 8!They are also both capped by Spain u21!The defence we have coming through can probably be better then the defence we currently with have and Roman will probably the old head in the next gen defence.
Well, it was only Torres he had to beat
I don't think he is happy at beating Torres's record,he literally wants to destroy it.Sola scored 5 against Bulgaria to take his Spanish tally to 86 in 49 appearances
Sola is a beast. What are you using as a tactic for him?
He is on the road to atleast another 100 goals
cerud - He is indeed.This is the tactic and player instructions I am using for him.
buzz2k7 - I hope so,the more he gets in the next couple of season,the easier to hit a bigger target.
Only 6 goals for Sola in your first game, think he might be slowing down
Only 6 goals!It was Valencia who finished 5th in the league last season.I was more disappointed with him only scoring 3 against Schalke!
C.D. Vitoria - Liga BBVA - September 2024
League Table
Manager's Thoughts
Well,that month was easy.We played six games,scored 28 goals and conceded 0.Sola was the main scorer as usual as he scored 19 month (as well as 13 in World Cup Qualifiers which meant he scored 32 in September!).I was that confident I even played Oscar and Yon Extebarria in the games against Malaga and Real Sociedad,if these two play like they did in the games then it is only a matter of time before they barge their way into the first team.The toughest match was against Sporting in which Sola destroyed them.
October brings to really tough games,Real Madrid in the league and Bayern Munich in the Champions League in which I will definitely need to play full strength teams to beat them.We also have a CL game against Young Boys who stunned Bayern Munich in the opening game so we have to be careful.In the league we have Osasuna,Sevilla and Jaen,I reckon we could win all three but we can't get complacent.Sola is the in-form man and is basically dragging this team behind him,he is up to 35 goals in 10 games.If we include his international goals it stands at 48 goals in 12games!.
Last edited by B.W.G; 02-07-2012 at 10:58.
I imagine your keeper is redundant.
Sola is absolutely unbelievable, best player I've seen anyone have on FM12.
How many goals did he score at this time last season :P
Excellent start to the season.
deltablue - Both of them have been pretty redundant during the games.
AdamFitz and cerud - I would say he is definitely one of the best players I've had on FM12.To top off it off,he only has one attribute at 20 which is agility which is pretty impressive in itself as well.
buzz2k7 - For 24/25,as of 2nd October he has 38 goals in 11 games.In 23/24 at that point he had 30 goals in 10 games so he is just doing better then last season.
SRL88 - Cheers fella
Can I see your keeper?
1st Choice Keeper - Jose Zubillaga
2nd Choice Keeper - Oscar Exterbarria
A comparison between the two
Thanks, just interested as even the best teams need some insurance at the back.
Your second choice keeper looks a beast already for 17 years old

I have a linux box (Debian) which is up 24/7. I'd like to set it up in such a way, that once a day it connects to a specific FTP server and checks if any files have changed since the last check. If they have, it should send me an email with a list of the changed files.
The check doesn't have to be thorough - I'll be happy if it just compares file dates. But it has to be recursive.
How can I do this? I understand I can use cron to schedule the process, but what do I use to connect and check for changes?

This question already has an answer here:
I was thinking earlier about air bubbles in water. if you had a bubble of air (say in a balloon) then as you take it down in water the bubble shrinks because of the pressure and because it is compressible. This means its density increases.
Water on the other hand being incompressible remains the same density at whatever depth you are at (I don't know if it is truly incompressible but I am assuming if it is at all compressible this is insignificant).
Does this mean that there is a depth at which an air bubble would be denser than the surrounding water and thus sink instead of float?
Would the gas at this density be doing things like turning into a liquid? Is the depth such that this is not even vaguely realistic? I feel like the situation is probably a lot more complicated than it is in my head which says that you would get air bubbles sinking at sufficient depth?

Florence. Beautiful. I saw a movie where a gorgeous girl was named "flor" and it is a lovely name + nn!
I did dislike my name growing up.. I didn't loathe it or anything I just always felt like it wasn't fitting for me. It is also fairly common (and I looked at the social security info and it was like top 10 when I was born). So what I'm hoping to do differently is to avoid this for my daughter. I want her to feel like she is something that is HERS, not shared with 5 other girls in her class.
Btw I love both of your kiddos names too!
January 20th, 2012 12:06 AM #8
Ohhh. I had an extremely uncommon name growing up. Malik.ah.
I hated it. I still don't really LIKE it.
I never could find anything personalized, it was never in any baby name books, no one could say it right at first. I got called Mikayla, Monica. The name is pronounced Mal-Leh-Kah, it's Arabic for queen, but everyone said it Mah-Lee-Kah. SO ANNOYING. I was called Malachi for my entire grade 8 year by a teacher. I even had a substitue art teacher correct me on my name, telling me how i said it was wrong. Excuse me? No, it's Arabic and said correctly and verifyed by the slew of Arab speaking people I knew personally thank you very much. I don't care if your cousin's name was said mah-lee-kah.
People now think it's very pretty, and I get compliments on it every now and again, but I straight up hated it as a child and up until my 18th year. I'm still going to change it legally in a year or so.
Trust me, don't tack on a very uncommon name just because you don't want the kid to hate having a common name. It'll often back fire. Many other kids I know feel the same way about their very uncommon names.
Moderation is key imo, Avalin is a perfect middle point, Joaquin is dangling close to the overly uncommon side, but due to the actor Joaquin Phoenix, he should have little to no problem with it. Florence is commonly known, but it is old ladyish imo. No ageism intended!
And she will definitely get called Flo, which could wreak havoc on her preteen years. Personally, I'd avoid it. It doesn't really fit the feel you've got going with Avalin and Joaquin.

I'm a Jennifer (Jenni) so.. I was mixed about my name. There's nothing terrible about it. It's a perfectly fine name. However, it was WAY too popular. I got sick of being one out of however many others there were. My cousin married someone with the same name, making things a little confusing (different last names though).
I don't have kids yet, but I want to name them something more uncommon. I know chances are they will meet someone else with their name, but I want to avoid her being Sarah F. or whatever. So I'm steering toward names that aren't popular, but also aren't too weird and crazy. No odd spellings or made up names. That's why I like one of my top names - Serena. It's a legit name and people know it, but it's uncommon.

Honestly, I think a child called Florence will not be fond of her name growing up. It's not just because it's unusual, though that may play a part, but because it does still seem very old fashioned and not one you could see on anyone young. Perhaps a mn spot would be better and she can appreciate its heritage without having to actually go by it? Up to you, of course.
My name is Lyndsey Rose, and I strongly did and still do dislike Lyndsey growing up. It seemed too common and not me- I'm not at all a bouncy cheerleader type- and no one ever spelled it right or could remember its spelling. I had it spelled Lindsey, Lindsay, Lindsy, Lyndsay, and even Linzy at times. Which is why I now go by Rose- there are five other Lindseys etc in my small graduate class department. So though unusual names can backfire, so can common/uncommonly spelled ones.Anya Angelina, Alessandra Mary, Leah Susannah Claire, Mariana Abigail, Marisol Demetria,Caroline Michaela, Rikarah Jade, Liadah Cristina, Leah Cassandra, Alicia Cordelia, Eliza Francesca, Jade Antonia, Jessamine Faith, Audrina Rosemary, Sarah Evangeline, Catherine Ariadne
