Oops, something didn't work.
Nice , very good intro to mix10.
Unfortunately this early in the year some companies do not know their exact financial position to spend money on trips to Las Vegas .
The operator tried to switch to a third camera 5 or 6 times, but it didn't work . I guess all the visual cues were setup better to work with the middle camera.
Thank you for the intro.
Will there be any announcement related to Silverlight for mobile devices? This may effect whether my company attends.
Hoping we'll get a peek at 'Blend 4 ...
Nice post regarding MIX10 - The new web.. Would love to read more.

Are the Jews still today waiting for the promised Messiah to come? If so, then what kind of Messiah are they expecting right now? When do they expect him to come?

This question came from our site for committed Christians, experts in Christianity and those interested in learning more.
It is clear to the Jewish people that the Messiah has not yet come. For the Messiah to have come there would have to be, also a Messianic Era. The sure signs of the Messianic Era, among other things, are:
See also, Maimonides, Laws of the Kings 11:4.
To my knowledge none of these things exist today, especially not world-wide peace or world-wide belief in G-d.
The Messiah figure will be human and must be Jewish (see Deut. 17:15; Numb. 24:17), and must be descended from Judah (Gen. 49:10) and Solomon (numerous places, but see I Chron 22:9-10). He will be well-versed in Jewish law, and observant of its commandments (Isaiah 11:2-5). He will be a great judge, who makes righteous decisions (Jeremiah 33:15). Tradition holds, also, that a messiah is born in every generation and that whether or not his identity is revealed is dependent upon whether we merit his coming. R. Ovadiah of Bartenura, Commentary on Ruth. Moreover, the mashiach will bring about the political and spiritual redemption of the Jewish people by bringing us back to Israel and restoring Jerusalem (Isaiah 11:11-12; Jeremiah 23:8; 30:3; Hosea 3:4-5). He will establish a government in Israel that will be the center of all world government, both for Jews and gentiles (Isaiah 2:2-4; 11:10; 42:1). He will rebuild the Temple and re-establish its worship (Jeremiah 33:18). He will restore the religious court system of Israel and establish Jewish law as the law of the land (Jeremiah 33:15).
Whether we get a Messiah who will fight wars with us in the prophesied War of Gog and Magog, or one who will lead us to the Messianic Era without war (this is the conflicting ideas of the Messiah ben David versus the Messiah ben Joseph, respectively) depends upon us. If we are worthy of the Messianic Era before the End of Days, then we will get there without war. If we can't make ourselves worthy by then, then we will experience war and the bitter loss of life that the Talmud compared to the refinement of ore into precious metal that will purify us for the Messianic Era (Babyl. Talmud Kesuvos 112b).
Are the Jews still today waiting for the promised Messiah to come?
Yes - central to our prayers which we say 3 times per day is a prayer for the quick arrival of the Moshiach and the restoration of the Jewish monarchy, the House of Dovid. See also the Rambam (Maimonides) 13 principles of belief: "I believe completely in the advent of the Moshiach and I wait for him fervently every day."
If so, then what kind of Messiah are they expecting right now? Moshiach is a human being, not a god or a demi-god, who will become the King of our nation and unite all of us, win wars against our enemies (these may be ideological wars) and restore our people to the Land of Israel.
Note well: He is a human being, (an advanced person certainly, wise, humble and good) but in no way whatsoever is he deserving of worship. If anyone attempts to worship him that would be a travesty. Jewish Kings lead their people to deeper connection and attachment to the One.
When do they expect him to come? His arrival date is unknown. However, there are signs that we are very close, the main one being the miraculous return of the Jews to the Land, the capture of Jerusalem, the Land responding and making the desert bloom, the "Teshuva" (repentance) movement of the last 25 years which has seen many Jews leave their secular and assimilated ways and return to cleave to Torah Judaism.

I'm considering acquiring a website that traffics close to 20k a month. It's currently unprofitable, but obviously I would need to change that to justify the cost.
It's a support site for a framework similar to CakePHP. A resource that allows people to find plugins for that site. How would you go about expanding this site so that it would be broad enough to raise traffic and how would you make money off of it?
Some ideas I've had: 1- BuySellAds.com seem to make ads classy and relevant 2- Team up with other sites in some way (What ways? ... Ecommerce sites that sell plugins (like CodeCanyon), etc) 3- Write tutorials and such to drive more traffic (time consuming, and already heavily saturated for this framework).
Are there resources out there that help webmasters in ways like this?

Bond forged in heartbreak
Gold Star Mothers offer solace
|Diane Fenton, of Little Ferry, who lost her son Matthew in 2006, at a Gold Star Mothers dinner, October 1, 2012, held by the Nam Knights Motorcycle Club of America at Casa Qiuseppe in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. (Mitsu Yasukawa/The Record/MCT)
The Little Ferry, N.J., woman was able to hold her son's hand and hug him before he died.
Marine Sgt. Matthew Fenton, a husky 24-year-old horribly wounded in Iraq, lay on life support at a Naval hospital in Bethesda, Md., in 2006 surrounded by loved ones. There would be no miracle recovery. And so, after a weeklong vigil, they cried as Diane Fenton gave doctors permission to take him off life support.
"I would like to think that Matthew knew we were all there," Fenton said.
But other than having had that chance to say goodbye, Fenton shares all the other aspects of heartache faced by mothers like herself. So it's been a great comfort to join the Gold Star Mothers, made up of women who have lost sons or daughters in Iraq and Afghanistan. "It's been very helpful," Fenton said.
The American Gold Star Mothers was founded in 1928 as a support group by a woman who lost her son in World War I.
What makes it different from other military-memorial organizations is that there are no rigid meeting schedules, no formal counseling sessions. Mothers, most in their 40s to early 50s, get together informally, whenever one feels the need to reach out, especially on the anniversary of a child's death.
And true to the Gold Star credo, it is not a weepy group - they just agree there will be sudden moments when they simply need one another's support.
"When one is having a bad day, we'll call each other," said Shirley Parrello of West Milford, N.J., whose son, Marine Lance Cpl. Brian Parrello, 19, was killed in Al Anbar province in Iraq on Jan. 1, 2005. "You are able to share things with them you can't really share with anybody else, because they understand. I feel comfortable being with military people because they get it."
Pam Schwarz of Carlstadt, N.J., attended private and Veterans Administration counseling sessions after her son, Marine Lance Cpl. Michael Schwarz, 20, was killed by a sniper in Iraq in November 2006.
"They didn't help," Schwarz said. Joining the Gold Star mothers did, she said.
While Michael was deployed, Schwarz said she was afraid to answer the phone or the door.
"This is not a general grief; it's a deeper grief," Schwarz said of her son's death. "Mothers who haven't been through it, they don't have a clue what military families go through unless they have veterans in the family."
"We are all in the same boat," said Judith Tapper, 73, of Atco, N.J., the president of the state chapter. "We all share the same heartache." Tapper's son, David, was a 32-year-old Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan in 2003.
She said she considers the mothers of the 6,587 soldiers killed in action since 9/11 all Gold Star mothers, whether they are formally members or not.
Surprisingly, until they join, usually years after the death of a child, many women are not familiar with the organization.
At the time they met, Schwarz was president of the Gold Star Mothers' Paterson, N.J., chapter. "You should join," Schwarz told her.
Fenton, Parrello and Schwarz were at ease recently in a cozy Italian restaurant, Casa Giuseppe on Valley Brook Avenue in Lyndhurst, N.J., where they and other Gold Star Mothers, shared pasta fagioli and stuffed pork chops with burly, tattooed bikers from the Nam Knights of America Motorcycle Club.
The scene might have mystified curious passers-by, but to the mothers and the men it was a family gathering in the spirit of hope and faith, a meeting of two generations; one whose soldiers were scorned, the other representing less than 1 percent of the soldiers doing the fighting in the war on terror.
Fred "Fritz' Reiman of Norwood, N.J., the president of the Nam Knights, the gruffest-looking of the bunch, choked back tears as he welcomed the mothers.
"You'll always be in our hearts; we are so lucky to have you with us," Reiman said, hoisting a glass in a toast before helping to hand out white roses tinged with gold, the Gold Star Mothers colors.

SPECIAL?RECOGNITION — Beech Bottom officials and residents have received the West Virginia Make It Shine Award for the fourth consecutive year for their efforts to beautify their community. Taking part in the award presentation were, front, from left, Village Recorder Linda Dowell; Travis Cooper, coordinator of the Make It Shine program; and Councilwoman Becky Uhlly: and back, Craig Rote, program manager for the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection's Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan, which is affiliated with Make It Shine; and Mayor George Lewis. Warren Scott
Mayor George Lewis noted each year village officials and residents of all ages participate in a spring cleanup, and this year's was coordinated by Village Recorder Linda Dowell and Councilwoman Becky Uhlly.
Also on hand for the presentation was Greg Rote, program manager for the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection's Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan, which provides bags and gloves for volunteers involved in the cleanups.
Last year the village received a $9,800 grant from West Virginia R.E.A.P. to purchase a dropoff bin for recyclable materials. Residents may deposit paper, plastic and aluminum in the bin, which is by the municipal garage by the Beech Bottom Municipal Building.
Lewis said response to the bin has been positive, with it being emptied on a weekly basis. It contents are delivered to the Brooke County Solid Waste Authority's Recycling Center not far away.

A few bugs/questions
Hi there.
I am converting my website from webkit -> senchatouch 2.X at the moment and found a few bugs. (or maybe I am doing it wrong) (using pr3 at the moment)
See code below.
- viewing on Safari (normal computer) . I only see the 1st 4 items in the list and cannot choose anymore. How can I make the select field show more items??? or a bug?
- viewing on iPhone 4S (5.1b3) with Safari I cannot see any of the items at all using
<script type="text/javascript" src="st/sencha-touch-all.js"></script>
The list does not show up at all.
but if I go
<script type="text/javascript" src = "st/sencha-touch-all-debug.js"></script>
it starts to view on the iPhone but when I click on the field it just locks up safari completely.
I have..
Ext.define('Countries', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
{name: 'countryid', type: 'string'},
{name: 'countryname', type: 'string'}
var CountriesStore = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
model : 'Countries',
autoLoad : true,
autoDestroy : true,
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
url : 'countries.php',
reader: {
type: 'json'
and I go:
items: [
xtype: 'selectfield',
name : 'carriercountry',
label: 'Country',
valueField : 'countryid',
displayField : 'countryname',
store : CountriesStore,
xtype: 'emailfield',
name : 'carriername',
label: 'Carrier Name'
countries.php outputs json like:
"countryid": "AF",
"countryname": "Afghanistan"
"countryid": "AL",
"countryname": "Albania"

Right now the drop down you get on anything but a phone (a floating list) will only be sized for 4 but you can scroll. In the future there may be bounds checking to make it fill the available height either below or above the field but currently it will only be sized for 4 but scrolling is enabled.
I have an iPhone 4S but do not have 5.1b3 installed. I did try it with sencha-touch-all.js and sencha=touch-all-debug.js and the Picker showed up where I can pick a value. Unless 5.1 is doing something that we aren't seeing it is a phone, you shouldn't get the floating list on a phone.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

I have made 2 examples to make it a little clearer of the main problem..
Test these on an iPhone
Choose Create APN down the bottom as I still have a lot of work to do the conversion..
index-1 will not show the Country list at all on the iPhone
index-2 will show all the countries (I cannot make it lock up now for some reason)
And it shows all the countries and scroll (except its centered but I have to work out how to fit that!)
the only difference is:
index-1 includes sencha-touch-all.js
index-2 includes sencha-touch-all-debug.js
I don't really want to include the debug version to make it work as it slows down senchatouch a lot
Ideas why it not working without the debug.
Yes I just realized the non iPhone version is scroll able (view on non iPhone) but its not very clear at all that it is.. It looks like 4 countries only in the list.. I have to find a way to make it show a scroll bar on the right somehow...
arch.. viewable in Safari. (Mac).. tried firefox (mac) and.... nothing is rendered at all..
13 Dec 2011 10:13 PM #4
ignore the comment about firefox not working.. I just read that it won't work...

Does anyone know of generalizations on what Mumford (Red Book) calls "uniformizing parameters"? For example, given a regular quasi-projective scheme over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$, is there an etale morphism into affine space over $\mathbb{F}$?.
When does a projective morphism give an etale morphism (into affine space)? (Finite field) (normalization)
This paper by Kedlaya might be what you want, since it contains some rearrangement of the words you used, but I can't really tell from the question. If you want a proper F-scheme to have an etale map to affine space, it has to be a disjoint union of finite F-schemes, and the affine space has to be zero dimensional.
[EDIT: I re-arrange the answer to make the statements clearer].
The answer to the question is no, for any base field $k$.
First, we can characterize smooth affine varieties $X$ which are étale over an affine space $A=\mathbb A^n_k$.
Proof: (1) If there exists an étale morphism $f: X\to A={\rm Spec}k[t_1,\ldots, t_n]$, then we have an isomorphism $\Omega_{A/k}\otimes_{O_A} O_X=f^{\star}\Omega_{A/k}\simeq \Omega_{X/k}$. Then take $f_i$ equal to the image of $t_i$ in $O(X)$. (2) If $df_1,\ldots, df_n$ as above exist, we define a morphism $f: X\to A$ to be associated to the moprhism of $k$-algebras $k[t_1,\ldots, t_n]\to O(X)$, $t_i\mapsto f_i$. Then by hypothesis on the $df_i$'s, the canonical morphism $f^{\star}\Omega_{A/k}\to \Omega_{X/k}$ is an isomorphism. Therefore $f$ is étale.
Remark: it is not enough to suppose that $\Omega_{X/k}$ is free to insure that $X$ is étale over $A$. For example, if $X$ is an elliptic curve $E$ minus the origin, then $\Omega_{X/k}$ is free (because $\Omega_{E/k}$ is !), but at least in characteristic $0$, $X$ is not étale over $\mathbb A^1_k$ (if so, it would be finite and étale over $\mathbb A^1$ by considering the extension $E\to \mathbb P^1_k$, but $\mathbb A^1_k$ is simply connected in characteristic $0$). I don't known whether this can happen in positive characteristic. Note that this is already an example (in characteristic 0) of a smooth affine curve which is not étale over $\mathbb A^1$.
Now we construct in any characteristic a smooth affine curve $X$ such that $\Omega_{X/k}$ is not free. By the above, $X$ will not be étale over ${\mathbb A^1}$. Fix a projective smooth connected curve $C$ over $k$ of genus $g>1$. Suppose that for any affine open subset $X$ of $C$, $\Omega_{X/k}$ is free. We want to find a contradiction.
Final remark: if you have a separated scheme $X$ which is étale (or more generally quasi-finite) over any affine scheme $A$, then it has to be quasi-affine. This is because by Zariski's Main Theorem, $X$ is an open subscheme of a scheme $\overline{X}$ which is finite over $A$, hence $\overline{X}$ is affine.

This question already has an answer here:
- Do Class Skill Bonuses Count as Ranks? 3 answers
I have a simple, yet complicated question regarding skill ranks and the initial trained bonus of +3. My question arose when one of my players stated that he was a Pale Master at level 5 because he had 8 ranks in Religion and qualified for the rest of the prerequisites. However, I am under the impression that you can only put a number of ranks in a skill that does not exceed total hit dice. The player then stated that he was able to get 8 ranks in Religion because of the +3 bonus. My question is: Does the +3 actually count as ranks even though they can exceed the total hit dice, or do they just count as a bonus that would fall under 'Misc Mod' on the character sheet?

It may happen that a task can't be started or continued due to an absolute interruption. For instance, the internet connection went down for some reason. When that happens, should I start the timer and count the time I try to solve this problem as part of the task or should the problem be solved before using the timer?
If you want to be strict, if your internet went down and you have to diverge from your task, you should void your pomodoro or start the new one "unplanned".
Although you should think why you are using pomodoro technique in the first place.
If you using this technique to say that you using it and you starting pomodoro just to have pleasure that you doing so, maybe you can manage to clear yourself.... But by using this technique you can achieve something else. You can learn how to organise your workplace, your plans and an environment in the first place. Maybe if your internet disrupts you, it is time to ask "could you do something in the future to plan better?" of course it would depend upon your task but not many of them are in 100% achieved by using the internet.
By using pomodoro technique you can learn to be better orginised not to be better pomodoro's ticker. The technique is about planning, not about ticking boxes. If your task needs some amount of time to accomplish you can finish it only by giving your time only to the task, not to fixing the internet.
Of course you need some fun in your life as well so don't be to strict.
David Allen (GTD) published this video a while back as a way to deal with Interruptions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLp0PYsQTjU I suggest you apply this technique and see if it works for you.
If something prevents you from progressing on a certain task leave it and move on. Trying to resolve an issue is a task and should also be timed.

Rated the No. 1 art show in the country by "Sunshine Artist" magazine for the third year in a row, the 56th Annual St. James Court Art Show took place October 5-7.
The juried fine arts and fine crafts exposition, which hosts an impressive 750 artists from North America, featured Pink Friday, sponsored by the University Health Care James Graham Brown Cancer Center, in honor of October Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The large crowd of art enthusiasts also enjoyed artists booths and a demonstration tent, where revelers could observe artisans working and speaking about their art up close and personal. New this year was an outdoor café offered by Selena's Restaurant, which served breakfast and lunch.

Getting in two players from my former club which should help out.
i'm game who are you managing?
Im on too, just got back from the Barca v Gijon game
loading up now, pre season 2022, im FC Santa Claus in Finland
yer, was expected, we always play poor after international weeks. Afellay especially played very poor.
Glad i bought my laptop, i stop the night at a relatives on the way back cause its a very long drive, dont feel like sleeping!
I think I am joining you lot at these crazy hours. I just can't sleep .. Coffee ... Metal ... FM
just got my first ever european victory! Beat PSG at home 1-0!
Due to us being the only humans on FM at this time. I might ask you guys who I should choose with a new game, Looking for a team to dominate they're league but looking to get further in Europe ?
port vale feb season 2021-22 in the premier league. we won the domestic treble last season but we're struggling a little this season. we're in desperate need of a good back up striker and central defender but i'm being too cheap.
Ajax it is .. Cheers
Just signed a new 5 year contract, only had 12 months left on mine.
Bursaspor next, the did me 1-0 away in the first game
I got £23 with which to avoid relegation with
you two have inspired me to put this game on hold and start a new one. i only loaded 5 countries with this save because i thought the prediction tool was accurate. i have since learned it's useless so what do you guys think i should load besides the big 4-5?
how many leagues do you think a 2.4ghz 4gb ram set up can handle? i want a proper journey man career none of this stick with the first team that hires me tripe that i usually end up doing!
just drew 1-1 with bursaspor and beat SC Heerenveen 3-1 at home, really happy, last year I lost all the games pretty comfortably, this year i only missed getting throught by 2 points!
I get my budget etc tomorrow... here we go!
I am managing 3 teams cause I am a sick jock.
Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa as I couldnt figure out how to load the Zimbabwean leagues
Southport as I have always wanted to try out the Blue Square Prem
And my beloved Champions, Chelsea. I hate seeing other managers mess it up
250k, almost no extra money for wages and minimum expectation is european quals.
All i need is a CM and a back up keeper so this should be more than enough
yeah mine is pretty old too. i chose a bunch of leagues lets hope it doesn't fall apart. thanks for the help man.
well i found my CM and back up GK anda decent looking regen centre half from brazil.
Also tied down my best defender to a 4 year deal as some clubs were sniffing
i got my first gig at clube sport maritimo b. i get 725/week, 30k to spend but i'm over my 3k wage budget by 2k. very weird i have players on loan at the club taking big wages but their attributes are masked.
and my new regen defeder gets a goal on his debut!
boys, whats your thoughts on this feature? In some countries you can only bring in free agents at certain times of the season. For example, i just signed a russian, 22 years old and without a club. I get him in the 'free transfer' window in august (6 months away). What about an option to bring the player to the club to train so he can at least keep up a bit of fitness?
that's a great idea auss there shouldn't be a problem if there are no work permit issues
just annoying that they are basically doing no training etc for 6 months at a time where their stats are effected most!
you're right and the feature is realistic you should stick it in the wish thread just in case they do actually read it.
Right guys, I'm off! Enjoy!
to be honest i'm not sure. i'm playing my first friendly against my parent club maritimo and my boys are doing well. i'll have to go through the season with what i have because of 4 players who are paid a lot of money by us but seem to be in limbo because they can't be selected.
how is yours going? finland right?
yer im FC Santa Claus
Im going ok, im in 2022 now, finished top of the league for the first time last year. Just won the League cup, its set up as a pre season tournament in Finland. Have won it 3 of the last 4 years. Really happy my squads starting to come good, its been a long 12 seasons so far!
Can I jump into the excitement and ask for an idea for a new save? I am bored witless of trying to conquer the European circuit with Wigan after failing to retain the Premiership for the sixth consecutive year. Who knew signing old players with huge reputations could result in league success? Kaka got world player of the year at 35.
Back to the question; totally clueless on where to go now. Are dynamic league reputations making management in other countries worthwhile? I haven't had a good foreign save since FC Koper of Slovenia
i believe they are. I know someone on the board with Tampere United in Finland, in his league they have auto qual for CL and EL (all qual round to start with) and he is getting 25000 at a game.
Even with mine, really I havent done anything yet but already english players are semi interested in me, whereas before it was only eastern europeans and africans.
Very tempted to start an unemployment career in the Scandinavian area. Could be interesting to finally be able to sign some decent players for those teams. I remember when I got to the quarter finals of the EURO Cup with FC Koper, I had to break all kinds of records to get hold of Nacer Barazite and Jacob Mellis as Arsenal and Chelsea rejects respectively. Any recommendations for sizzling lower league management in the Eastern European block?
well im really enjoying Finland, mainly cause of the team i guess, but why not load up all of them? Or even go to the challenges forum and try Gundos challenge.
Ah, haven't looked at the challenge forums in actual years. After completing dafuge's with Mangotsfield, this seems an equally fun challenge. I think I might go Finland, Belarus and Iceland, as they are the 3 lowest non-UK and Ireland league reputations, with adding the notoriously 'buggy' Bulgarian league. Thanks for the advice. No doubt our paths will cross again on another 'Night Owl' page. I wish you luck with your Finnish endeavour.
im sure they will, are you heading off now?
I've actually got a few hours ahead of me, but didn't want to intrude too heavily in your gaming pleasure. Just being distracted by early morning bird song suggesting I should be in bed. I think they will be ignored for now though.
Just noticed your researcher status aussieant. Still sore about Robbie Fowler jumping ship to Perth Glory? Or is Williams still getting the business done?
hahaha no i started unemployed they hired me in december of the first year because they were 20th if i recall correctly. although admittedly i now have a soft spot for them and do follow them from afar. chesterfield too they were my big save last year.
Did become confused with your Spanish location and Australian research. Thought you might have been privately financing trips over to A-league games. A billionaire's idea of fun.
no, just didnt have anyone else for it, there is still a club without a researcher!
I think i did an ok job, couldnt have been worse then what it was!
I can't admit to having ever watched the A-League in detail, other than briefly knowing that Robbie Fowler was prolific for a while. If he is banging them in at 34/35, I can't imagine it is the greatest standard of league. I'd quite happily offer my two cents worth if FM ever got to the detail of including Inter-University football. I do think that is a rather distant dream though. If you are in the mood for offering your opinions, do you mind if you run an idea I just posted in suggestions past you? You seem to be fairly level headed, as forum posters go.
Currently playing as Juve to waste time until the new patch comes out then will start a career game as Pompey.
Robbie Fowler has struggled , only scored 9 in his first season and didn't score much this year either. Hardly a stand out.
The idea, whether it is possible or not is another matter, is allowing users of offline databases to export their squads from their successful saves (e.g. if Santa Cruz were to go onto CL glory I am sure you would like to test their metal against other good sides) into a mutual server hosted by SI and do battle. Possibly in a large cup format, working down to same geographical position leagues and the option to interact with friendlies with your mates to see who has the best squad. Would finally settle who had the better team for offline saves. Like I said, whether it's possible is another issue, but if they can manage the interaction of databases for Network games and player v player on FML, I can't imagine they are far off being able to make it work.
Not sure if that made sense, outlined it more on suggestion page, will get you the link.
A manager not obsessed with transfer budgets. You are a dying breed Adam. Bournemouth were a similar challenge.
Am I the only one who absolutely hates conceding? Would rather play out a 0-0 draw then a 3-3.
The most common response is "Id rather they get the actual game right first" - wish those people would read the thread title first
having my best start to a season, played 9, won 7, drew 1, lost 1, scored 22 conceded 3!
What tactic you using aussieant and what team are you? Sorry can't be bothered scrolling up lol
It seems that there is a large amount of idiots playing the game. Always nice when you stumble across another non-flaming idiot. I think they could perhaps stop some edits but even if they couldn't, it could be avoided by a CA/PA cap (maybe). You could even have an open competition where all the players are of a set standard (like the way you get that Master League team everytime you start PES Career modes) and see who has the most tactical nouse. Couldn't be many arguments that way. I mean, the 'idiots' that would be tempted to cheat probably wouldn't know what had hit them if they came up against someone with solid tactical ability.
playing a 433, im FC Santa Claus in Finland, currently in 2023
Is that a real team?
Nobody seems to believe you on this team auss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Santa_Claus - I think it's particularly fitting they wear all red and have a Father Christmas badge. Very funny.
2 players sent off within 25 mins. pffft need new patch
Dirty Italian football, never changes! Still waiting for my holiday season to expire so I can begin the Gundo challenge as well. Lower league management in Iceland or Finland awaits..

Top level instances are not stretching to fit available canvas when size cleared
Environment : ExtJs 4.0.x
In the latest version of the designer the border layout needs a height specified.
As my views are all going to be viewed within a viewport this makes no sense.
I am now forced to put a height to be able to design anything and then remove before saving/deploying...
13 Mar 2012 10:23 AM #2
Please explain in detail the steps you are taking and the results you would expect.Aaron Conran
14 Mar 2012 2:11 AM #3
1. Create a new component (e.g Panel)
--- Set layout to border
--- Remove height & width
--- Previous the panel would then have expanded to fit the canvas
2. Add sub component to top panel - region center
--- Add text field to center region - form expands as required
--- Panel show text field
3. Add sub component to top panel - region north
-- Entire top panel collapses showing no canvas
The only way forward is then to add a height to the top panel component
14 Mar 2012 2:13 AM #4
Note this also affects other components....
Previously I believe the underlying 'virtual' canvas that we were laying components onto was defined with a layout of 'fit'.
This has changed.

I renamed the title of the thread to be more descriptive of the problem and have pushed this into our bug tracking system.
Thanks for the bug report.Aaron Conran

I know logo design contests and the whole "spec" work issue is a controversial subject. As a designer given the AIGA's position on spec work what are the pros and cons of entering such contests?
Are logo design contests considered "spec" work and what are the pros and cons of participating as a designer?
The Cons:
The Pros:
The only pros are for the people who ask you to do spec work. You do the work, they get the work. They will be cherry picking meaning your work may be used and combined (sometimes without your knowledge).
The thing I find is the worst property of spec work: no good and no direct interaction with the client and as such you're more into producing work on the base of their brief when you should also be challenging them and vice versa.
And then there are the time constraints.... no more crowdsourcing for me.
Unfortunately sometimes the website/design business demands it, so accountmanagers ask it of me. I usually try to dissuade them or try to contact the clients beforehand to get more info but that's is not in the case of crowsourcing but more with RFP's.
What every designer should understand about "clients" who use crowd-sourcing, or who get their logo designed by their step-sister's nephew who knows MS Paint: you are looking at someone who views design as an expense, not an asset. If you're a designer worthy of the name, these are never going to be your clients and you should not waste a moment on them.
When Steve Jobs dropped a hundred grand on a designer to create the NeXT logo, before he'd even set up office space or hired any staff, he knew he was investing in a new brand. Apple spends a bazillion highly-paid man-hours on the design of its products. Last I saw, they were getting a pretty good ROI on that expenditure...
There are several good answers here that deal with the ills of spec work and mention that design contests pay a pittance. This is just a little deeper look into the numbers...
I happened to come across a competition site today and was amazed at the numbers they advertise on their front page:
They're trying to pump up the designs per project and the total payout, but the number of contests lays it all bare. That's 117,766 designs at a cost of $230,401, or $1.95 per submitted design. Ouch!
Competition sites are the "slot machine" principle applied to the design industry. Slot machines have calculated payout percentages. Essentially, over a long enough timeline a slot machine will always pay out X amount in winnings for Y amount spent. Players think this doesn't apply to them because they'll win... but reality dictates that most will lose, and those who play long enough are guaranteed to lose by the rules of the game.
Design competitions are built on the same principle and sucker people the same way. If you are lucky, you may submit a design and win a contest and pocket a few hundred dollars. However, you would have to quit right then for it to be worthwhile. Every competition has a similar probability, so you can be fairly well certain to lose a few rounds. The result is submitting many designs and, if you win at all, making substandard rates for the hours you have spent.
The cons: When participating in these logo contests, you are devaluing the design industry as a whole. Also it gives off the perception that logos can be "ready made", with the ability to simply change the name and have it work. There is a LOT of hard work, research, and unique consideration that should be taken into account when creating a great logo. Even if you decide that you would like to work for pennies, think about the greater implications of bringing down the industry as whole.
Example, "Why would I pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a logo from you, when I could go to this site, have 50 people make me different logos, and choose one for $100?"
That is the point of view that people begin to view the graphic design industry with after seeing or using these contest sites. Of course many will be able to spot the difference in quality and understand that you get what you pay for, but at the same time many will not.
Pro's for doing these contests are:
Con's for the contests are (from someone who has done two different sites)
I thought it would be a good way to get some clients, but why would they want to hire you at a decent wage when they can get 40 hours of work for $20.00?

Hi everybody,
have someone experience with the Nodal Ninja 5 with the "old" Canon 1Ds - fullframe - and the Sigma 8mm?
Because the fullframe and the 180¬? of the Sigma I¬¥m interested if on the pictures you can see something from the NN5.
Or which lens would be perfect to create QTVR (360¬? x 180¬?) in compination with the 1Ds - without making too much pictures.
Thanks for any answer.

Newlands Brewery tour in Cape Town
Photo courtesy Coleen van Staden
The one-hour tour of the Newlands Brewery is a must for visitors as well as locals. It is the oldest commercial brewery in South Africa and was granted National Heritage Status in 1995. Today it brews eight award-winning and famous beer brands, satisfying this beautiful corner of our very thirsty land with 1.5-million ice-cold beers every day.
The popular tour takes you through the old brewery heritage areas and the impressive modern brewery. It had been highly recommended to us and my colleagues and I were not disappointed. We found it informative and fascinating and our guide, Lauren, was well versed in the current operations, as well as the history of the brewery – she clearly has a passion for brewing and all that goes with it!
We learnt so much on the tour and were surprised to find out that beer brewing is in fact older than our wine-making industry. Also, beer was an important part of mariners' diets for very specific medical reasons! I thought beer was just hops – it's not – and the tour that incorporates the whole brewing process is an eye-opener! Only spring water is used, as it has been since the 17th century, and then there's the process of recycling, water, bottles, bottle tops and more.
There is still much to see of the old brewery buildings, the history of past brew masters, old modes of transport and old brewing methods. You work up quite a thirst but luckily the tour is rounded off in the pub with a good, cold one – not a minute too soon!
The tour costs R30 per person, and takes place morning and afternoon with a minimum of 10 people.

CAIRO, Egypt (CNN) -- Egypt's military toppled the country's first democratically elected president Wednesday night and reportedly put him under house arrest while rounding up some of his top supporters even as the deposed Mohamed Morsy insisted that he remains the country's legitimate leader.
Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across Egypt over the military's actions that were decried by Morsy's supporters as a "coup" and celebrated as a "correction" by his opponents. At least eight people were killed and more than 340 wounded in sporadic violence that at times pitted Morsy's supporters against the opposition and the military.
Morsy "did not achieve the goals of the people" and failed to meet the generals' demands that he share power with his opposition, Egypt's top military officer, Gen. Abdel-Fatah El-Sisi, said in a televised speech to the nation.
Adly Mansour, head of the country's Supreme Constitutional Court, will replace Morsy as Egypt's interim president, El-Sisi said. Mansour was expected to be sworn in on Thursday.
The military has not publicly commented on Morsy's whereabouts. But Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad told CNN the deposed president was under "house arrest" at the presidential Republican Guard headquarters in Cairo. He said some members of Morsy's inner circle have also put under house arrest.
The country's constitution has been suspended, and Mansour will "establish a government that is a strong and diverse," said El-Sisi, head of the country's armed forces. New parliamentary elections will be held, and Mansour will have the power to issue constitutional declarations in the meantime, he said.
El-Sisi said the military was fulfilling its "historic responsibility" to protect the country by ousting Morsy, a Western-educated Islamist elected a year ago.
Morsy remained defiant and insisted he was Egypt's proper president.
"The world is looking at us today," he said in a taped statement delivered to the Arabic satellite network Al Jazeera. "We by ourselves can bypass the obstacles. We, the sons of Egypt, the sons of this country -- this is the will of the people and cannot be canceled."
Shortly after Morsy's statement aired, Al Jazeera reported its Cairo studios were raided during a live broadcast on Wednesday and its presenter, guests and producers arrested. The Muslim Brotherhood, the long-repressed political movement that propelled Morsy to office, said its broadcast outlets had been shut down.
The state-run Middle East News Agency said the two top leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood's political party had been taken into custody, and another state-run outlet, the newspaper Al-Ahram, said another 300 were being sought by police.
El-Haddad told CNN that he has been told hundreds of names have been put on an "arrest list" but couldn't confirm any arrests beyond those of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party chief, Saad el-Katatni, and its deputy, Rashad Al-Bayoumi.
Morsy said he remains open to negotiations and dialogue, and he called on supporters to demonstrate peacefully. But at least eight people were killed and more than 340 wounded in clashes around the country on Wednesday, Health Minister Dr. Mohamed Mustafa Hamid told Al-Ahram.
Morsy opponents who packed Tahrir Square, now the epicenter of two Egyptian upheavals, erupted in jubilation and fireworks when El-Sisi made his announcement.
"This is a united people of Egypt," anti-Morsy organizer Ahmed el Hawary said. "Mohamed Morsy has actually succeeded in uniting the people, after two years that we were totally against each other ... Mohamed Morsy, with his bad management, with his risking all the lives of Egypt, brought all Egyptians back together to be facing again their future, hand in hand."
But Abdoul Mawgoud Dardery, a former member of parliament from the Morsy-allied Freedom and Justice Party, called that "ridiculous."
"I don't know how can anyone with common sense support a military coup in a democracy," he said. Egyptians "will never recognize a coup d'etat," he said.
And across the Nile River from Tahrir Square, Morsy supporters chanted chanted "Down with military rule" and "The square has a million martyrs."
Before Wednesday night's announcement, troops moved into key positions around the capital, closing off a bridge over the Nile and surrounding Rabaa Adawya Square, where Morsy's supporters were gathered.

Find the equation of the ellipse circumscribing a right triangle whose lengths of it's sides are $3,4,5$ and such that its area is the minimum possible one.
You may chose the origin and orientation of the $x,y$ axes as you want.
Motivation: It can be proved [Problem of the Week, Problem No. 8 (Fall 2008 Series), Department of Mathematics, Purdue University] that the area of this ellipse is $8\pi /\sqrt{3}$, without the need of using its equation, but I am also interested in finding it.

One of the question in my homework asks to verify that the surface are of
$ \mathbf{r} = a(1+\cos\phi)\sin\phi \cos\theta \mathbf{i} + a(1+\cos\phi)\sin\phi \sin\theta \mathbf{j} + a(1+\cos\phi)\cos\phi \mathbf{k}$
is $\frac{32}{5}\pi a^2$
I started with the equation to the area of the surface being the double integral of $|\mathbf{r}_{\phi} \times \mathbf{r}_{\theta}|$... but MAN this is so long it's almost unworkable. Am I doing this the stupid way? Can this be simplified?
All I can tell is that $\mathbf{r} = a\sin\phi \cos\theta \mathbf{i} + a\sin\phi \sin\theta \mathbf{j} + a\cos\phi \mathbf{k}$ is te equation of a sphere of radius $a$, but you can't really factor out areas, that I know of... so I don't see how this helps.

Oops, something didn't work.
OMG you've been shut off at 1:00:00!! Recording is here, but music replace your voice. missing 5 last minutes of your talk. Otherwise great talk!!
It is great the CH9 hosts these talks & did a live broadcast.
However it is a poor decision to run an Automated music wrap-up at exactly the time the session is due to finish.
The theory is you teach people not to run over. The reality is the presenter continues to present to the live audience & you alienate your online audience. They don't blame the presenter, the blame the hoster.
Please stop doing this.
Especially when the presenter is a VP

WACO (November 7, 2012)---After four hours of deliberations, jurors decided on the death penalty Wednesday for Rickey Donnell Cummings, 23, of Waco, who was convicted of capital murder in a shooting that left two dead and two injured.
McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna said prosecutors are pleased with the verdict.
"Also, we are pleased that we were able to achieve justice for the families of Tyus Sneed and Keenan Hubert as well as Marion Bible and Deontrae Majors," he said.
"Rickey Cummings' pattern of escalating violence and brutality were choices that he made. This jury's verdict sends a strong message that violence in McLennan County will be met with firm justice and the upmost consequences," he said.
Law enforcement officers filled the courtroom after the jury notified State District Judge Ralph Strother they had reached a decision.
Officers also assembled outside the courthouse.
Jurors began deliberations at around 10:20 a.m. Wednesday and sent out the note to the judge at around 2:20 p.m.
On Friday the jury found Cummings guilty in a March 2011 shooting at the Lakewood Villas apartment complex that left Keenan Hubert, 20, and Tyus Sneed, 17, dead, and Marion Bible, then 22, and Deontrae Majors, then 20, wounded.
Prosecutors say the shooting was in retaliation for the April 2010 murder of Emuel Bowers III, 21, who was shot as he sat in his car at the intersection of Rose and McKeen Streets.
In closing arguments Wednesday morning, Reyna told the jury, "By committing these acts, Ricky Cummings has forfeited his life". Do your job and make the right decision.
"He doesn't strike like others, he strikes more violently," Reyna said.
"Look at his history," Reyna said.
"He starts with threats and escalates to more aggressive violence into our schools then to a nightclub then to killing Tyeus Sneed and Keenan Hubert"
"He was given a light sentence on every offense time after time and now is the time to give him the right one," Reyna said.
Defense attorneys pressed for a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole in hopes of keeping Cummings off death row.
"This is probably the most important decision you've ever made or ever will make." Attorney Walter "Skip" Reaves told jurors.
"The death penalty is not required in any case. In fact the presumptive sentence is life without parole," he said.
"No matter what you do we can never bring Tyus Sneed and Keenan Hubert back," he said.
"Executing Ricky Cummings won't do that."
Tuesday the defense called seven witnesses as they tried to make the case for a life sentence for Cummings, but one of the seven wasn't allowed to testify.
After more than 40 minutes of arguments outside of the presence of the jury, State District Judge Ralph Strother upheld a prosecution objection to the testimony of mitigation expert Amy Nguyen, who conducted a study that shows the risk factors of the area in which Cummings grew up.
Prosecutors argued she wasn't an expert in the area and that she never interviewed anyone in Cummings' family and the judge agreed that her testimony would not have been reliable.
Five of the defense witnesses who did take the stand were members of Cummings' family, including his grandmother, Erma Richards, who testified she doesn't believe Cummings committed the murders.
"I'd do anything in my power for little Ricky to get life," she said. "In my heart, I don't feel he did it."
Strother admonished her, saying the issue no longer is guilty but punishment.
Annette Wilkerson, Cummings' aunt, testified that the picture prosecutors painted of Cummings is of another person.
Cummings' cousin Jarrett Embrey, of Rockdale, testified that while growing up he and Cummings "wanted to play ball, get girls and look fresh."
"I think he deserves a chance at living," Embrey said.
Another aunt, Ruby Brown, said Cummings was a respectful child when he was growing up and enjoyed a loving family.
On cross-examination she said she was not aware of any problems Cummings had with the law or that he was suspected of selling drugs.
Brittany Haynes, the mother of Cummings' son, testified Cummings was a good father who loved his son, but under cross-examination, prosecutors established that Cummings once threatened her and prosecutors provided a police report to prove the incident.
Haynes also admitted after the incident she left Waco and moved to another city where she severed her ties with Cummings.
The final witness called by the defense was retired Texas Department of Criminal Justice official Frank Aubuchon, who testified that if Cummings is sentenced to life, he will be classified as a member of the Bloods gang because of his tattoos and will be held under high security.
Prosecutors made their case Monday for why Cummings should be sentenced to death, presenting testimony from witnesses who recounted Cummings' violent history.
The state's last witness Monday, Richard Baldwin, testified he was sent to Club Legacy, the old Waco Water Works, on Nov. 2, 2008, after a report of a man with a gun.
Baldwin, who then was a Waco police officer but now works at Montana State University, said when he arrived at Club Legacy there were perhaps a thousand people crowded into the parking lot.
He said members of the crowd had Cummings pinned to the ground, holding him until officers could take him into custody.
Baldwin testified once the officers had placed Cummings in handcuffs and into the back of a patrol car, they returned to the area where he was being held down and found a holster and a .40-caliber handgun that Cummings had thrown under another car.
Cummings was arrested and charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon, Baldwin said.
Also Monday afternoon, Megan Sanders testified that when she and her then boyfriend were in high school Cummings came up to them while they were waiting for a bus and struck her boyfriend in the face.
Sanders said the attack was unprovoked.
Cummings at the time was a senior at Waco High School and the victim, Toylin Clark, was a sophomore.
Earlier Monday jurors heard testimony about violent incidents that occurred when Cummings attended public schools in Waco.
Two former educators and the former chief of the Waco ISD campus police force testified about an incident in December 2003 at G.L. Wiley Middle School that occurred after Cummings was found on the campus, escorted off and told to stay away.
He returned and when confronted, the witnesses testified, he resisted as officers tried to subdue and arrest him.
One of the teachers testified that Cummings told him, "You're lucky I don't have a gun with me or I'd shoot you."
Waco Police Detective Joe Williams testified about in incident in July 2005 in which Cummings attacked his grandmother's disabled husband.
Cummings was arrested for assault and family violence after the attack, Williams testified.
A former assistant principal at Waco High School told jurors that Cummings was involved in assaults once as a ninth grader and twice when in twelfth grade, for which he was suspended and sent to alternative school.
Then a special education teacher who handled alternative school students testified that Cummings had a bad reputation and said she was afraid to have her

Omer Fast: 2001/11
This exhibition brings together two video works made a decade apart by artist Omer Fast that throw into relief subjects that have helped define a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Fast began CNN Concatenated in 2001 in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. 5000 Feet Is the Best was completed in 2011 for its unveiling to great acclaim at the Venice Biennale. Each of these works focuses clearly on a single subject—media saturation in the case of CNN Concatenated and drone warfare in the case of 5000 Feet Is the Best—while also investigating the shifting interactions of reality and representation. Both also raise questions about storytelling, authenticity, and authorship, as well as about the ways that lived experiences become part of history.
Fast was born in 1972 in Jerusalem, Israel, and lives in Berlin. He received his BA from Tufts University in 1995 and his MFA from Hunter College in 2000. He was the recipient of the 2009 Pries der Nationalgalerie fur Junge Kunst, Berlin, and the 2008 Bucksbaum Award from the Whitney Museum of American Art, among other honors. Fast has had solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2010), Berkeley Art Museum (2009), Museum of Modern Art, Vienna (2007), Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh (2005), Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich (2004), and the Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt (2003). His work is in such international collections as the Whitney Museum of American Art, Guggenheim Museum of Art, Hamburger Bahnhof, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the Museum of Modern Art, Vienna.
Support for this exhibition is provided by the Consulate General of Israel to the Mid-Atlantic Region.
