"Jazz for Justice" to Honor Clinical Professor Robert Holmes, Director of the Community Law Clinic
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, talk show host Judge Bob Pickett to speak
October 10, 2006 –The Association of Black Law Students (ABLS) at Rutgers School of Law–Newark will honor Clinical Professor Robert C. Holmes at "Jazz for Justice," which will be held on Oct. 26 at Newark's IDT Tower. Holmes is Director of the Rutgers Community Law Clinic, one of the nation's first clinics to provide corporate-transactional-intellectual property attorney services to inner-city small businesses, non-profits, charter schools, and community development corporations.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker will deliver the welcome remarks and former Administrative Law Judge Robert "Bob" Pickett, co-host of "Open Line" and "Week-in-Review" on WRKS-FM, will give the keynote address. Music will be provided by Jazz by Jill & Company, whose members include second-year evening law student Jilletta Riley. Proceeds from the annual fundraising event will benefit the Wanda Green Memorial Scholarship Fund, established by Donita Judge '03 and ABLS to provide tuition assistance to a law student who in some way was affected by the events of September 11, 2001. Wanda Green was a flight attendant on United Flight 93.
"Jazz for Justice" honoree Robert Holmes has had extensive experience in private practice and public service. After receiving his J.D. from Harvard Law School, he joined the Newark Housing Development and Rehabilitation Corporation as executive director. He later served as assistant commissioner and acting commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, and as chief executive of the Newark Watershed Conservation and Development Corporation. Holmes became a partner with Wilentz Goldman & Spitzer, PC, in 1987, where his primary areas of practice included corporate transactions, real estate and development, sports and entertainment law, and municipal government. In 1995 he became of counsel to Medvin & Elberg.
Holmes joined Rutgers Law School in 1997 where, in addition to heading the Community Law Clinic, he is Deputy Director of Clinical Programs. In his community involvement outside the law school, he is a board member of the Public Interest Law Center of New Jersey, a board member and treasurer of the New Jersey Public Policy Research Institute, a board member and secretary of Legal Services of New Jersey, and a board member of Minority Athletes Networking.

How big is your stadium at the moment Snake? Mines 42,500 in 2022, but I don't seem to be filling it
How big is your stadium at the moment Snake? Mines 42,500 in 2022, but I don't seem to be filling it
I think you are after this challenge: FM10: English small club to big club challenge: extended edition
My corner routine at the moment is floating the ball into the box and hoping it hits someone and rolls into the net
lol Rodney Sneijder wants to join my team, I have got the transfer money for it, but of course I cant pay the wages he wants
Shame for you Rodney, you could have become Guiseley's legend... but hej
Season 20 - SnakeXe's Merthyr Tydfil
Premier League - 1st, Champions (Table)
Champions League - Winners
FA Cup - Winners
League Cup - Winners
Club World Championship - Winners
European Super Cup - Winners
Community Shield - Winners
Well, we won everything. And I'm now the greatest English manager ever. All in a day's work we still lost our obligatory 2 games in the season, both of which came in the league this time round, away to Spurs and Liverpool.
All good things must come to an end, however, and this generation of Merthyr players have reached the end. Most are now the wrong side of 30, and this did feel like the last hurrah. Here are some of the legends:
Ralf Hammer - DC - Profile/History/Biography
The fans actually thought I spent too much on him when he was first signed, but he came through as a first team star as we pushed our way into the Champions League, and the upper echelons of the English game. A golden season in 2026/27 when he went goal-crazy was the highlight, he's probably got another season or two in him as a backup.
Mehmet Uyar - DC/DM/MC - Profile/History/Biography
Signed back when we were rubbish, his versatility and great physical attributes did as much as anything else to propel us up the table. I still have no problem putting him straight into the team either in central midfield or defence when the situation requires, and I hope he can stick around for 2 or 3 seasons more.
Arjan Reinertz - WB/AML - Profile/History/Biography
The signing that signaled our intentions to be more than Premier League survivors way back in 2023, Reinertz never really pushed on to be the force his stats suggested he should have been, but we always played better with him in the side, and he was our first truly top-class player. His one remaining season on his contract will be his last with us, and I'd be surprised to see him make more than the odd substitute appearance, but a great player for us nonetheless.
Eugeny Antipov - AMC - Profile/History/Biography
Signed for £4m compensation after his contract at Zenit ran out, Antipov really took us to the next level with his domineering performances in the centre of midfield. Although his position is AMC, I used him as a deep-lying MC to make better use of his great tackling and work-rate. His quality on the ball really helped us push on as a footballing side, and we will be hard pushed to replace him. £15m for a 32 year old was too much to refuse, and it just shows how highly he is regarded that a team would pay that.
Jose Manuel Moran - FC - Profile/History/Biography
One of the first signings we made when we were promoted, costing just £2m from Tottenham Hotspur, he had two seasons as a back-up before spending 6 seasons at the very top of the European game. Merthyr's highest ever goalscorer with 237 goals in all competitions, he's probably come to the end of his stint as a first choice striker for us, but I'm certainly planning on giving him enough football to make the 250 mark before he hangs up his boots for good.
Diego - ST - Profile/History/Biography
Despite spending most of his career at Merthyr as 3rd choice striker, he's one of my favourite players on any edition of the game. Signed for just £30k the season after we were promoted, he's accrued 119 goals for the team, and I'm pretty sure his strike rate compares quite favourably with Moran's. He actually forced his way back in as first choice earlier this season, racking up 20 goals from 23 starts, but a torn calf muscle ruled him out of the business end. Hopefully it hasn't taken too much out of him, as he'll be a great help in bedding in the next generation.

Well 9,613 turned up for my first league game in my new stadium and saw us beat Leeds 3-1.
Also having looked at my set-pieces for this season I've just noticed my best corner takers are also my best headers of the ball who are my two new full-backs and I normally keep my full-backs back on corners, so they need to be in three places at once
EDIT: That attendance has just earned me £190K - my previous record was £75K, whilst the whole of last season we earned £1.4m from gate reciepts.

Haha, yeah I didn't really pay much attention to it until I got into the Premier League and had players capable of doing interesting things. It's a huge advantage though, we'd never have won as much as we have without it.
Carshalton Season Review 2021-22 League 1 - 6th Place - Promoted via the playoffs
Not a bad season really, could easily have got auto promotion had it not been for a player moaning of lack of harmony and therefore ruining it for a while until I rid myself of him. He went to BSP, and has since been released from his club as they got promoted, so his loss, as I am now in the Championship
Scraped into the playoffs, which I won, beating Rotherham 3-1 on aggregrate, then beat Colchester 2-0 at Wembley

This season:
The board want me to avoid relegation on a 2k transfer budget and 49k wage budget, so I brought in several loanees from abroad, who don't count towards a loan limit, and some free foreigners, handy because I can now scout anywhere in Europe, a big step up from the season before where I was limited to Uk and Ireland, plus France
Won my first game 1-0 away to Middlesbrough from a penalty from one of my Italian free transfers, so that looks promising. I can do it, 2022-23, Carshalton, Championship, sounds good imo.
2021/2022- Billericay Town - Barclay's Premier League
League Position - Champions
Not a lot to say about this season. I walked away from the save for a bit to get a feel for 10.2 tactics in a less important position, came back with a 4-2-3-1 that I thought suited the club, and we basically walked away with the league. A couple of AMCs mentioned previously, Damyanov and Coutinho were key, my defense was solid, leading the division until we leaked 7 in a meaningless finale against Newcastle. My strikers were disappointing, but that's largely because I have a bunch of poachers when what I need is a target man. Cleiton, a young Brazillian mentioned previously was my leading scorer, though Ikäheimo, by far the best of my strikers, had by far his poorest season with us. If you click on the table link, you'll see Sunderland went into administration, and I took advantage with a below market swoop for their Irish striker, Peter Killorian, who's killed me. Hopefully he can lead the charge next year.
So with us winning two EPLs on the trot, the story is in the Champions League. Its not much of a story however, as we walked our weak group, leading to a first round knockout tie with Barcelona. Fortunately, Barca were missing a few key players and we went through. We then slaughtered Lyon in the quarters, 7-2 at home, before making it interesting by barely turning up in the return leg. That led to Chelsea in the semi's, who were dispatched on away goals. Man Utd, who finished 9th in the league were our opponents in the final. Captain Hans Blom was suspended through yellows, and we couldn't have been less inspired, losing 2-0 and never looking like challenging.
The other cups, we won the Carling Cup despite my attempts to punt it, on account of very poor opposition until the late rounds, when I sort of couldn't help but compete. Once in the final against Man City, I had to go for it, and we won our second worthless cup on the trot, for a domestic double. I had no interest in retaining the FA cup, and we went out tamely in the 4th round to Tottenham.

I sold several old friends this past year, long serving Italians Federico Fratus and Alberto Romagnoli, longtime Spanish hardman Victor Vega, and solid right back Andrey Baranov. We brought in a ton of new players as well, and the squad is now upper-table quality. We're still short of world class players, as only Blom and Moraga would walk into most sides, though the ageing Coutinho and Marquinhos are stellar as AMCs. I've got two class strikers coming in this year, so either the formation will have to change or a couple will have to go, as there's no point in have 6 first team strikers in a one striker formation.
As far as the money goes, again I sold more than I brought in, and the UCL run was a large money spinner. I still can't get a new stadium, but the training facilities are almost top class finally, the youth facilities are still lagging behind.
Highlights of the squad this season:
Cleiton - The physically challenged Brazillian was my top scorer this term, and won the PFA Young Player award.
Lasse Ikäheimo - The Finnish starlet had his worst season ever.
Hans Blom - He had a bit of a down season by his standards, though he did finish second several UEFA awards.
Coutinho - One of two non-regens still in the squad, he was delightful in the trequarista role.
Tsetvan Damyanov - The Bulgarian AMC was even better, laying goals on every which way.
In personal news, I was named a club legend this year, though I must say, fans, what took you so long. I also received an unsolicited approach for the Brazil job, probably in no small part to the 7 Brazillians which I employ.
Just need to win the Champions League this season, though I think there are some painful sales coming. I can't imagine selling Rodríguez Sánchez, but his contract's up at the end of the season, and it would be foolish to retain him given the quality coming up through the reserves.

Tooting & Mitcham United FC - Barclays Premier League - 2029/30
We had our most successful season ever last season, so it was hard to improve on that. Breaking our duck in the Carling Cup was one thing I was hoping for this year.
League Table
League Positions Graph
We completely dominated and led from start to finish. The two defeats we had were to Man City right at the end of the season, and Ipswich!
Community Shield - the scoreline didn't tell the whole story as we dominated them.
UEFA Super Cup - after beating them in the CL final to win it for the first time, we did even better to win this one for the first time.
FIFA Club World Cup - we didn't score too many goals but the final was simple enough.
FA Cup - the route to the final was straightforward but the final was a different story. Despite having an extra man, it took two goals from two substitutes in extra time to secure the win.
Carling Cup - it looked like we were going to blow this in the final for a fourth time, but we managed to hold on for the win.
UEFA Champions League - the group stage was a struggle as Anderlecht took us by surprise. The knockout rounds were simple enough which set up a final with rivals Man City. A dramatic last comeback secured us a third CL win in a row.
Transfers - I didn't really want to sell all those players but the huge bids gave me my chance to bring my finances back in order. After being well over £20m in debt last season, it was nice to be debt free for a whole season.
Squad - the squad may be small but we have strength in every position now. Selling a few players seems to have done wonders for our squad happiness.
Key Player Profiles:
Pol Sesma - this was the most a player had ever scored at this club.
Javier - to score 40 goals alongside Sesma was sensational, especially by adding a load of assists at last.
Cuma Sahan - it wasn't his best season but he was still brilliant.
Steve Shutt - he came through my own youth system and is now described as world class, which is surprising as I've retained him to the DM position.
Alessandro Anelli - 'that waste of £30m' is starting to do quite well, often keeping Dorta out of the team.

It was a perfect season, winning every competition we entered. This may seem like a good point to stop and make a start on my youth policy, but we have a centenary coming up in 2032, so if possible I would like to repeat this season in that year.
The World Cup with Italy is coming up next, so there is a chance to make this a completely perfect season.
in trouble in the BSP 2 points from safety with 7 games to go. One positive is that im unbeaten in 5.
Great season dafuge, we both won the quintuple in the same season
Good luck with Italy, I just got the England job
Well done guys
Its not that i have done anything different this season than the others, but this season everything has suddenly changed..
Im affraid that i wont be able to finish the season today as im back at college tomorrow, but in a couple of days im hoping to post a better update than usual

Well, taken down premiership Blackburn in the League Cup 3-2, so my 3rd round reward is a trip to parent club Chelsea, led by Owen Coyle. Looking forward to it
I stayed up on goal difference. Well done to Snakexe and Dafuge. I am out of time to write a report now I'll write one when I get the chance.
Well having money is nice as I've smashed my Transfer Record several times this season first arrived Irish Youngster David Lacey for a record £45K, then Spanish Defender Galder Ardanaz broke that record when he arrived for £100K (though for some reason the fans don't like him), his record only lasted a month as I then spent £425K on Peruvian Defender Carlos Perez signing him from Levski (so they got straight back most of the £600K they gave me for my backup Keeper), I also picked up a Belgian Centre-Back Idd Hassan for £375K who has the Promising tag as does my new Keeper James Pratton who arrived on a free after Spurs released him.
We have had a rather eventful start to the new season in seven games we have scored 12 times but conceeded 15, whilst I managed to get my more important players to sign new four year contracts so we should get better as they grow and gel, I just need to bring in some quality wingers and another Striker instead of relying upon loanee's.
Brilliant first game at Kelly Park
A win, 3 sendings off, capacity crowd - can't argue with that!
Gave Penydarren Park a good send-off too
North Ferriby 11/12
Season Review: Total domination from the start, as you can see Fitzharris was simple amazing scoring 45 over the season. Brought in a couple players but none of them did anything real special, still planning to replace most of the team for the BSP.
Finances are getting to be a real issue, anyone know how bad they can get without drastic stuff happening?
FA Cup
FA Trophy
Cup Review: Decent runs with some replays in the FA Cup, went real deep into the FAT and then the wheels fell off in the second half for us at home.
Next Season: New everything but Fitzharris by the looks of it.Code:Season Division Position Achievements --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010/11 BSN 4th Lost in Playoff Finals 2011/12 BSN 1st Promoted

After a break of a couple of weeks playing Gundo's challenge, I decided it was time to return to Guiseley. It was our second season in the Championship and I was hopeful of making a push up the table, but my ambition was not matched by results on the pitch. We finished in the same position for the second year running, but this time with 5 points less. Disappointing to say the least, but I'll be employing a new tactic in the new season as well as making a few signings to try and change the team's fortunes.

League Table Graph
Wasn't a good season in my opinion but it was nice to leave Princes Park with the celebrations of another Premier League trophy for the fourth year on the trot.
Community Shield Wasn't happy but nothing to cry over. Last year was the mirrored result ironically.
Super Cup Surprised by this performance but I've already won this trophy twice so it wasn't anything to worry about. The performance was something to worry about.
Carling Cup Another season, another couldn't be bothered performance. Doubt I'll win it again until I get more favourable draws or produce a ridiculously good reserve side/second string.
Club World Championships Easy, easy, easy.
FA Cup Poor exit in another cup but something I wasn't surprised at given our inconsistant nature this season and the fact I was rotating around the time of our exit.
Champions League Disappointing way to exit the competition given how we took a 1-0 to Madrid only to hand the tie to them.
Squad Could be better depth but there's a lot of stuff to happen in the next few years which could make it easier to challenge for every trophy every single season.
Had players representing the club in the World Team of the Year, as well as some players coming runner up in the European individual awards like Striker of the Year, Goalkeeper of the Year, Defender of the Year and the actual Player of the Year award itself.
Transfers Spent £50million on one player which was more in desperation for a top right winger after I let my own go for £25million to Arsenal. But he's top quality and at 23 should pay back his fee with trophies. I let Jamie Butcher head off the Nou Camp as I felt he wasn't progressing quick enough.
Finances Looking better.
Key Players This Season
Javier Probably our best player this season.
Jaime Ortega Not as good as last season. Won't shut up about moving on no matter how many times he signs a new contract. Think I'll cash in on him this summer.
Dida Isn't worth £50million but then again no player is. At 23 he'll become a Dartford Icon if he keeps up these great performances on the right wing. Can play in the centre also which is a great bonus.
Curtis Mutch Not as good as last season but I'm happy enough with his season.
Henriques Great left-back. Up there with the best.
Youth Prospects
Steven Byrne Progressing well.
Klebson Signed for under £5million. Now a wonderkid.
Alain Keller Another wonderkid.
Conor Buchanan Went on-loan to Championship Swansea this season. Hit a lot of goals for a 17/18 year old. Even made the top scorers in the division.
With victories over Uruguay, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela, Chile and Ecuador, I was shocked when we got thrashed by Argentina.
Still we qualified for the World Cup.
Next was the Confederations Cup and with an uncharactistic stalemate against the USA I was sent packing.
Lovely people to work for.

Well, after 11 years of good service at the club, Sead Hajrovic has gone and spoiled it all. He got his first cap for his second nation, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and promptly after this, decided he was too big for the club and wanted to move on. Accepted it, and I am now selling him to Norwich (who atm are below me in the Championship ironically) for £750,000. Not bad considering I picked him up on a free, and I am now bringing in a Portuguese defender for £100,000 over 48 months to replace him, from Benfica.
Have duly dropped him from the side, shoved him in the reserves and put him on a training schedule which doesn't do any training, whilst training him as a striker. Apparently he is unhappy with the high workload
Is nice, especially when you succeed and the player eventually falls lower than you. Happened plenty of times, nice to see those who think we aren't big enough leave, then fall into the abyss whilst we move up in the world
Started my very first shot at one of these challenges, got my desired Bradford Park Avenue on the second attempt.
Good old Scottish name there Terk
Absolutely. The Del Benítez clan have a long tradition
Okay have just been checking through england's results (just for the fun of it) and found out that England won the World cup and are ranked number 1 in the world. I can post screenies if anyones interested.
hate this ****IN GAME
Hey, I've recently started this challenge off with Nuneaton, I've got Kyle Wilson but I don't know how to play him, i've been looking through this thread and people have got him scoring a lot, what role should I give him?
lol Scotch is a cloth brand aswell
kaNovi what happend?
Italy - World Cup - 2030
Qualification was a breeze with Greece giving us our only real challenge, but a 2-1 away win secured our qualification with two games to go.
The group draw looked like this, which looks easy on paper but Turkey could be dangerous with Cuma Sahan in their side.
Turkey vs Italy (group stage)
Turkey set their stall out to defend from the off and didn't even give the creative Sahan a run out. We just couldn't break them down and even when we threw everything forward we just couldn't create any good chances, the closest we came was hitting the outside of the post from a free kick. To make things worse, we've lost three players due to injury as a result of this match.
Italy vs Iran (group stage)
I was expecting a convincing victory and when we finally got the first goal and followed it up with a second it looked liked the floodgates would open, they didn't. Iran actually cam back in to the match and started having a few shots at goal before we settled the match late on.
Italy vs Chile (group stage)
We got the job done in this match, nothing spectacular but we got the win we needed.
Final Group Table
In the end it came down to who could score the most goals, which we did despite not really hitting top form. Winning the group turned out to be massive as it means we now face Austria instead of Spain.
Italy vs Austria (second round)
We turned on the style in this match and scored a couple of really classy goals as we ran out 3-0 winners. There was a shock elsewhere as number one ranked Spain crashed out on penalties to Turkey. We face Portugal next, who topped their group ahead of Brazil and knocked out Germany, so they could be dangerous.
Portugal vs Italy (quarter final)
Portugal were the first team to really attack us from the whistle, which I think suited us as we had a lot more room to launch our own counter attacks. The game was settled by a howler of an own goal as the goalkeeper turner a corner into his own net at the near post. Elsewhere, Turkey did it again, this time knocking out Brazil 2-0. We meet England in the semi final, which is good as they are missing key players in Man City legend Tom Phillips and my own Chris Blackmore.
England vs Italy (semi final)
Of all the people to score first, it was my own youth product centre back Paul Ramm as he headed home a free kick. He then had a 'Gazza moment' picking up a booking which would mean he would miss the final should they make it. We started the second half well with one of our centre backs getting in on the act and heading on from a corner. Not long after that, European Golden Boot winner Marco Marchetti broke free and slotted home. We will meet Turkey in the final who upset the odds once again with a 2-1 extra time win over France.
Italy vs Turkey (final)
Once again they started with a defensive lineup and no sign of Cuma Sahan but this time we meant business as we took the lead inside two minutes with a goal from midfielder Di Domenico. This seemed to ruin their gameplan as we then bombarded them with a series of wasted chances. At half time we looked well in control and looked good for the win. With just over ten minutes left, Turkey were looking desperate as they had to make substitutions due to injuries. Then, out of no where, they scored. This turned us into a bag of nerves as we held on to full time. Luckily, we still had enough attacking options on the bench and the late substitutions seemed to make the difference for us again in extra time as Marco Marchetti slotted home a rebound, he celebrated in style with clenched fists shouting his on name in a moment of pure ecstasy. Italy have won the World Cup.

After winning the World Cup, I felt it was the right time to leave Italy in search of a new challenge. This offer came to me just before the England game, which would have been ideal but I couldn't leave during a tournament. After resigning from Italy, I applied for the Brazil job but they strangely turned me down. I also applied for a host of European nations and the first to get back to me were Portugal and Turkey. After their amazing run in the World Cup and the fact that I have a couple of Turkish players at T&M, there really wasn't much choice.
Qualification for Euro 2032 is my first job, and this group looks reasonable.
Congratulations Dafuge. Any players you started to love while being coach of Italy and will try to buy with Tooting?
Season 01 - Nantwich
Blue Square North - 18th (Table)
FA Cup - Fourth Round Qualifying
FA Trophy - Third Qualifying Round
Well, the start of the season saw us predicted bottom, with the media giving us an "outside chance" of snapping up promotion. We then saw, as soon as I came in a transfer embargo and a takeover take place. A small cash injection, nothing worth talking about as we are still in the red now. Signings were little and fairly useless. A couple of loan signings from parent club Crewe kept us from being relegated.
Pre-Season wasn't too bad, couple of wins, draws and losses. Nothing to worry about. Then came the league which saw us draw our first three games, 1v1, 2v2, 3v3. It pretty much sums our season up. We didn't manage a win until our 11th game of the season. We laid firmly in the relegation spots for the majority of the season (I would show you but cant find the position graph) up until the new year, where we won 3 games, draw 1 and lost 1. I thought that perhaps the new year was going to be good, but it all went downhill again until the end of the season. Our final position of 18th was the best we could do.
We lost just 15 games in the season and drew 19. Southport who finished 5th lost just one game less than us, they just managed to not throw games away when they were 1v0 up and could grab a goal when they were at level terms, something we could not do.
The aim next year is to attack the play-offs. That would work out nice. First up need a stronger defensive line. Pitty I have no funds to make transfers...

Well done on avoiding relegation, Satio Just from pre-season with my Bradford Park Avenue side I can see how big a challenge achieving that will be.
8 new signings see's the team looking much better for the season. On the other hand, the finances are now not looking to good at -£200k
Im writing a summary guys, its terrible
Only played 1 FA Cup match so far but still that win earned me £4.5K now got Bishop Stortford in the 3rd qualifying Round, hopefully I can beat them and earn some more money!
Kingstonian (2027/2028)
Premier League Prediction - 8
Premier League Position - 2
Worst season i have ever had in any FM game. Here is why:
The League
Did good all season and had it all to win in the last game of the season where we were 2 points ahead of Chelsea.
Last round of the season DEVASTATING. We did terrible against Man. Utd. but pulled back and was the champions until
94th minute in the Chelsea game where Chelsea scored a late goal won the game and took the title.
I did great in the euro cup this season but in the semis i had some difficulties with Aston Villa. The first match at home we drew 0-0 and
second leg was the same and we went to penalties. Uefa Cup Semi final TWICE we had the chance to close it but missed. Ridicouless scoreline anyway!
The Cup
We had one last chance, as we had made it all the way to the FA Cup final. Despite we had won it once before this could save the season.
FA Cup Final Nuff said.
Ivanov New signing
Robson Biggest prospect from own ranks
Goals for the upcoming season:
Needless to say im devastated. I will find it very hard to continue this challenge now

kaNovi: that you are writing a report says enough! You have to continue! Now you have next to completing the challenge also another challenge: three teams you want to destroy desperately: Chelsea, Aston Villa and Man City...
btw; Jurgen Hazeveld of Aston Villa must be dutch missing his penalty twice

You gotta carry on look at the progress you have made....!
Yes he is foost
Thx guys, i will continue but im finding it hard to motivate myself right now. But hopefully i will get my spirit back with a couple of days away from the game.
I do want revenge
I am about to Embark on my Journey tonight!
kaNovi that is horrible! Im sorry for you. Get stuck into a top four side (or Man City!) for a few days, win a few easy trophies, and then come back to it.
Has anybody got their training to 5 stars yet? or close?
That's a horrible way to lose the title
kanovi. One great season and can be challenge complete.
I will give it a go. Have just completed the Dafuge Challenge in FM09 with FC United of Manchester. Winning the Premiership and Championsleague in season 2024/2025.
I'm hoping for FC United of Manchester again. Good luck to all players.
Things have started a little brighter than I first imagined, 9th after 6 games with only 1 defeat so far, though like so many it would seem, I am bleeding money.
Just got knocked out of the FA cup only at the 4th round of qualifying, lost 4-3 to Corby they scored in the last minute
Well our facilities have now both been upgraded to Adequate and the board have agreed to improve them further next season, though rather worryingly I've just noticed my chairmans status has changed to Happy to Stay - over the last couple of seasons it's dropped from Loves to Enjoying to now Happy, which means a takeover is likely to happen in the next few years (I'm not sure how many levels of Chairman status their are before a takeover is rumoured?) and I could really do without another long winded Transfer Embargo.
Great, my Iranian centre midfielder I signed on a free from Brann isn't settling in well, so I have been suggested to sign another Iranian to help the settling in process. Iranians are hard to find in the game, unlike real life England
Good, I asked the player for a suggestion, and he recommended a guy who plays in Georgia, so I can scout him. £325k value is putting me off a bit though :|
This is weird my right back was injured in the game against Blackburn but the news report states one of my players who wasn't even on the bench injured him :confused:
Game of the season so far!
Games like that make me play Football Manager
Kyle Storer, he's got average attributes but he performs very well, despite my assistants protests I play him every match

And we've just thrown a 3-0 lead after 19mins against Leicester to finish the game at 3-3 after having to sub my remaining three first team defenders

Won my 4th Round FA Cup replay against QPR to set up a 5th round tie away at Tottenham. Played them 5 years ago in the 3rd round, when I drew with them away from home, but lost 4-0 in the replay. Was in League 2 then, so maybe I can pull off an upset this time. Already made £2 million in profits this year being in the Championship, helped from a League Cup near sell out against Chelsea in their 57k Zola Stadium, so hopefully we get a sell out, or near to, at White Hart Lane which is at the moment a 55k all seater.
Top four of the premierleague this season are: Newcastle, Hull, Bolton and Fulham, who won the league the last two seasons. Newcastle are managed by Dave Penney, Hull are managed by Fernando Torres , Bolton are managed by Peter Farrell, who starts the game as a youth coach at Bolton, and Fulham are led by Gary Neville. It is worth noting as well that Hull and Bolton are owned by foreigners (Serbians and Israelis respectively)
My chairman's moaning because it's looking like only 8,000 people have bought tickets for the Gillingham game
Thats the most my stadium currently holds!!! And still only have 240 seats!!!
Hey everyone im back and continuing my sutton utd save.
Great 1st match back
Congratz everone on all your successes i have been keeping up with this thread
unlucky kaNovi that is definately the harshest way to lose the league but hopefully you will be able to get revnege next season.
Good luck Terk see if you can have as much success at Bradford Park Avenue as you did at Liverpool
Fulham are doing quite well in my game in 2018 (it looked a little weird being told in a news item I could face big guns such as Man Utd, Liverpool and Fulham) looks like they got an English Tycoon takeover in 2011 and have gone through quite a few managers - Javier Aguirre, Roberton Mancini, Carlo Ancelotti, Thomas Schaaf, Rafa Benitez, Vicente Del Bosque so after trying all of them their current manager is Gareth Southgate - in 7 years they have finished second and third in the Prem once each and lost the FA Cup final once.
Newcastle are currently third in the Prem after having been in Administration three times (in 2011, 2012 and 2013) though being taken over by a Kuwaiti Tycoon has stopped that.
Karen Brady took over Arsenal a few years back after they had two takeovers within three months.
Owen Coyle is still in charge of Burnley, Roberto Di Matteo is in charge of Chelsea.
Liverpool are managed by USA Manager Bob Bradley who took over after Noel Blake left (Forced to employ an ex-Stoke Youth Coach )
On the 19.12.2017 Man City fired Mark Hughes and hired Roberto Mancini on the 22.12.2017 - which is the same day he was fired IRL just 8 years earlier
Whilst Matt Hill in his first job has just been appointed England Manager.
That Hughes sacking on your file michael is a very cool coincidence
Lost convincingly 3-0 to Tottenham, but made £1.2 million, and finally the board are agreeing with me that the facilities need improving, as they now have the money for it. Thank god for that.
Rafa is still at Liverpool in my game, despite derailing recently. He has finished 11th and 10th in the last two season, and are 11 at the moment, after a bit of a mixed bag beforehand including missing out on the Champions League 4 times, winning the league twice, winning the Club World Cup twice, winning two Champions Leagues, and losing out in the best placed playoff in 2015 to Dortmund, winning 1 Europa Cup, winning 1 Super Cup and losing 2, winning 3 FA Cups, no League Cups and losing 5 out of 5 Community Shield matches. Bit of a mixed bag there. Christian Purslow, the director of football in real life at the moment, is chairman as well.
Karen Brady at Arsenal I match that with Emiliano Insua being a legend at Liverpool, whereas Torres who saw out his career there is only a favoured personnel. Rafa's a legend, along with Stevie G, and Glen Johnson is also favoured personnel, and is a coach at Birmingham.
Man City have been through several managers in this period, including Mancini They are:
Mark Hughes (Sacked)
Martin O'Neill (retired)
Winfried Schafer (retired, who is he though?)
Roberto Mancini (30.5.2017, sacked 7 months later)
Javie Aguirre (sacked)
Didier Deschamps (Sacked)
Neil Bailey (caretaker, lasted all of 8 days)
Josep Guardiola (current manager)
All that has yearned them the grand amount of 1 Premierleague title, under O'Neill, which he retired after doing so. Won 1 Club World Cup, 1 Champions League, 1 Europa Cup, 2 Fa Cups, 4 League Cups and 2 Community Shields. Not bad I guess.
After selling on two of my three top strikers this summer, I found it hard to find two strikers to bring in. I found one outstanding player but had to spend £32million on him (granted I was happy to and you'll see why when I post this season's review.) I couldn't find anyone worth spending millions on so I decided to recall my youth prospect Connor Buchanan from his 2nd season loan in the Championship and give him a chance to impress.
Not bad for his first league start.

I swear the game likes to mock me sometimes, my Peruvian Defender cannot settle and he recommends a Peruvian Striker also at Levski, he's worth £275K so I make a bid and a Portuguese side go and bid £1.8m that is out of my reach

Arsenal list Gael Clichy as a legend (though he did average 7.64 over 400 games) and a 26yo Jack Wilshere who joined Newcastle two seasons ago.
Joe Cole and Rossi are Chelsea legends, whilst Xisco is a Newcastle legend, and Joe Mattock and Palacios are Spurs legends and a 26yo Jonjo Shelvey is a West Ham legend.
Mboro hold Tom Cleverley in the same regard as Juninho.
Got my first two wonderkids!! Here's their profiles:
Massimiliano Maggio
Perry Fisher
Assman says Maggio is playing at full potential already, but I hope there's a bit more to come from his physicals, as 3 or 4 more points on his acceleration/jumping/strength would make him a monster. I'll be surprised if he really has peaked at 18 too...
I always find it hard against struggling teams, but I think it's largely due to the fact that we are rarely favourites so my tactics aren't setup to play against teams who sit back and defend it also doesn't help that my players don't put the effort in as they thing they should win the games easily.
Argh, I've just been offered the job of mid table Liverpool, who are offering me £30.5 million transfer budget and £1.3 million a week wage budget. Will make a duplicate of this save, so I can return and bring Liverpool back to glory after completing this challenge.
Heartbreaking stuff.
Bristol City have been brought out by Henrik Larsson, who is rumoured to want to replace Phil Jagielka as manager with Emile Heskey
Through to the third round of the FA Cup with Hendon. Have been drawn against Fulham at home who are bottom of the Championship - I think we can pull off an upset.
Gareth Stitt has signed as manager of Truro City!
Looking forward to actually giving this challenge my all this year!!
Manager Profile
My game against Swansea (of all teams) has just set a new Nantwich attendance record as over 13,000 people turned up bringing in £275K, which means our gate reciepts upto the middle of October come to £1.7m which is already more than the £1.4m we got in the whole of last season
Suppose you're not going to know until they reach 19/20/21 sort of age anyway whether they're dubbed a 'wonderkid.'
Have a player myself who looks like he could be my first but I'll have to see what his description is come 19/20.
Haha. Luca Santonocito, who has been with me since BSN days, just scored from a corner
Indeed he can. Excellent player but should we be promoted from L2, I think the next step would be too far.
Awesome result. Never got a giantkilling once myself so that's pretty special.
Drawn against League 1 Barnsley who have a very thin squad. Dare I dream?
I've also just noticed that Chelsea and Spurs are the only top-flight teams to have expanded their stadiums so far as have Peterborough and Sheff Wed (45,000 capacity in League One ), whislst Chesterfield are the only team to have moved (and that looked pre-arranaged).

WELLSBURG - Leaders of the Brooke County Salvation Army recognized some of the many who have helped it to help those in need and an honored local veteran shared the impact the Salvation Army made on his life at the organization's annual appreciation dinner Thursday at Staffileno's on the River.
Salvation Army Major Ed Long said more than 1,000 people received help through efforts and programs of the Salvation Army Service Center in Wellsburg last year and it couldn't have done that without the support of many volunteers and donors.
Long said the assistance included providing nearly 140 boxes of food to more than 550 local residents at Thanksgiving, 150 Christmas food orders for more than 470 people and gifts for more than 210 children through its Angel Tree program.
Article Photos
STAR AWARD — Eagle Manufacturing was the recipient of the Brooke County Salvation Army's Star Award, which is given each year for extraordinary support of the organization. Cindy Wilson, a staff member in the company's accounting and sales office, accepted the award, which was presented by Salvation Army Major Ed Long, left, and advisory council member Bob Haas. The Wellsburg company was among many recognized at the Salvation Army's appreciation dinner Thursday. -- Warren Scott
SPECIAL RECOGNITION — Norma Tarr of Wellsburg, right, was recognized for her volunteer service to the Brooke County Salvation Army's bi-weekly community luncheons by Nora Bell, who coordinates them. Tarr, who also is a member of the Salvation Army's advisory council, was among many recognized at the organization's appreciation dinner Thursday. -- Warren Scott
Among the many helping with the program were the owners and employees of Eagle Manufacturing, who delivered three pickup trucks full of gifts. Not only did the business adopt an Angel Tree, bearing tags on which are written the wishes of local children, but they asked for additional tags.
Cindy Wilson, a member of Eagle's accounting and sales department, said, "I called several times to get more tags. We worked together as a family and had a good time."
Long noted the Christmas campaign also benefited from the many who encouraged donations while serving as bell ringers at Salvation Army kettles.
Recognized as the top individual fundraisers were Ron Taylor, who raised about $1,500, followed by Louis Golar and John Hosler. Groups recognized as the top fundraisers were members of Brooke High School's chapter of Health Occupation Students of America, followed by the Wellsburg Kiwanis Club and Brooke County Special Olympians.
The HOSA members also raised more than $1,800 in candy sales to purchase gifts for children aided by the Salvation Army.
The Christmas campaign also was aided by WTOV-TV, which provided more than 170 coats to children through its Coats for Kids campaign.
But the Salvation Army provides aid not only at Christmas but year-round, in the form of assistance with utility bills, clothing and food. In addition to its food pantry, the Salvation Army Service Center feeds local residents through community luncheons held at noon each Wednesday and Friday.
Nora Bell, the luncheons' coordinator, said 2,975 meals were served last year through the free luncheons, which are a social opportunity for some but also a chance for some residents in need to partake of a hot, nutritious meal they might not otherwise have.
Bell said about 35 volunteers put in 1,046 hours preparing and assisting with the meals. Some don't consider themselves cooks but enjoy a sense of camaraderie with their fellow volunteers.
Among them is Norma Tarr, a retired school teacher and member of the Salvation Army's advisory council, who was recognized for putting in numerous hours at the center's kitchen each week.
Matz Malone, advisory council chairman, also took time to remember the late Bill Metzger, who served on the council for 40 years.
Malone described Metzger, who died March 1 at the age of 93, as "a fountain of wisdom and leadership" for fellow council members and "that pinch of salt in the stew of life that makes everything wonderful."
He presented a plaque of appreciation to Metzger's wife, Isabell; and daughter, Carol Lynn.
The many attending the dinner also heard from Jack Earnest, a Vietnam War veteran who applied the training he received as an interpreter during the war to missionary efforts in the country later, and has been named to the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame for his service to his country and community.
A Richmond resident, Earnest recalled that, as a boy growing up in the former Brooke County community of Power, he would join his family on visits to the Salvation Army thrift store at Wheeling's south end.
There he and his siblings would enjoy poring through an old box of toys while his parents sought clothes for them to wear for school.
"This was our Sears and Roebuck, our JC Penney, our mall," Earnest said.
He said his mother became ill and died when he was 11 and a year later, it was at the same thrift store where his father introduced him to the woman, a Salvation Army worker, who would become his new mother.
"God knows what he's doing and he sure knows about the Salvation Army," Ernest said, adding, "Thank you, Salvation Army, for being there for my family and even providing us with a wonderful mother who loved us and cared for us so well."

I am preparing a write-up on Topics on Artinian Rings and Modules for a project. I hope to mention some unsolved problems in the domain of these objects along the way. Till now, I have been able to find and understand the statement of the Monomial Conjecture. Upon googling, I did not find problems that would serve my need as they were well over my head.
Question: Are there more well-known and simply-stated problems?
P.S.: By simply-stated, I mean understandable by a student comfortable with some theory of modules and rings, chain conditions on rings and modules, radicals(nil and Jacobson's), Nakayama's lemma and the Krull dimension of a ring plus some special topics. You can assume this to be my 'bailiwick' while suggesting problems.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

For all my Windows PCs I use CCleaner to perform cleanup duties. Is there a similar tool that I can use for OS X to clean up any accumulated crap?
Also, OnyX seems to be the popular choice for those looking for a Mac equivalent to CCleaner. http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx
Alex.. please be careful. OS X generally doesn't need maintenance like most Windows installations do. If you just leave it, it will be fine. The only thing I sometimes tell clients who I'm tutoring, is that the maintenance scripts run themselves by default at 3AM. They're not doing anything too serious, log rotations and the like. So if they don't run, I don't think it's the end of the world. But once in a while you may want to leave the computer on all night so they get done.
There was a not immediately relevant question posted a while ago that actually has answers I think you would be interested in. I answered with my regular maintenance routine (Why is my Macbook Pro getting so slow?). The relevant portion of my answer:
I put my Macs through the wringer every day and I very rarely have problems since I implemented my maintenance routine. Third-party software is not necessary, if not a waste of money.
Every once in a while (every 6 - 12 months, or if things start acting weird), check your disk with /Applications/Utilities/DiskUtility.app

6 Groups Who Don't Work as Movie Bad Guys Anymore
Romantic comedies can get away with the protagonists fighting their fear of commitment. Puzzle games can have you fighting against the lack of vowels in your Scrabble hand, but a good shoot-em-up in any medium needs some properly villainous bodies to be shot at.
One of which should always be played by Alan Rickman.
The problem is that current events and the audience's craving for novelty are drying up everyone's go-to staples for villainy. It all started with:
#6. Russia
The fall of the Soviet Union caused a lot of problems -- such as political and economic disarray, missing nuclear weapons, runaway crime, that sort of thing -- but probably the worst thing about it was that moviegoers lost maybe the best bad guy country we'd ever had, aside from Nazi Germany. James Bond used to be a lone man taking on a massive evil empire with just his wits and lovemaking skills. Then one day in the 90s he finds himself fighting newspaper owners.
Oh no, he's going to write something mean about you!
In War Games, a young whippersnapper hacker found himself almost accidentally starting (and then stopping) a war between two superpowers that would have annihilated the earth. Now movie hackers just blow up people's computers and change traffic lights. Red Dawn was scary in addition to silly because, you know, maybe they weren't going to invade us exactly like that, but you still actually worried they might invade us.
By cloaking themselves behind an impenetrable wall of secrecy (almost like a veil, or curtain, made of some kind of metal) Russia freed America's imagination to fill in the many blanks with details that were 10 times worse than reality. According to the movies, Russia was ahead of us on everything -- space, missiles, sexy women spies, you name it -- and at any moment they were poised to burst out and destroy us.
Or break us, as the situation may require.
When they tore down that wall, as Reagan had asked them nicely to do, it was a huge letdown to find out our invincible adversaries had been basically eating their shoes to keep from starving. Shoes they had to wait in line to buy in the first place.
Let's see you love shoe shopping now, ladies.
Now, the good news is that Russians are just as nostalgic for the old days as action movie lovers (because at least then they had shoes to eat), and have been moving further and further toward old repressive Soviet policies. Not coincidentally, Russian bad guys have started to pop up again in movies like Iron Man 2 and games like Modern Warfare 2. The actual country still isn't back in top villain form though (where they'd have a massive army of soldiers wearing instead of eating their army boots), which means movie and game makers usually have to go with rogue Russians or Russian mobs.
#5. Middle Eastern Terrorists
With fictional Russian villains bailing on us, fictional terrorists stepped up to fill the gap. It made sense. Terrorists were always bad. They blew up innocent people. You could easily shoot 50 of them in a movie without anyone having to feel guilty.
Or tie them to a missile or whatever.
The only problem is that you could only have about 50 of them. Terrorists were evil, but they were little roving gangs of evil dudes, sneaking around, using whatever weapons they could piece together. You couldn't have an epic war with them or anything. Bring a horde of missile-equipped helicopters to fight a bunch of guys with homemade explosives strapped to their riding lawn mowers and YOU start to look like the bad guy.
Oh yeah, giant missile birds. Those are fair.
When we went to war in Iraq, and then Afghanistan, and then Iraq again, movie producers wet their pants with excitement because they were no longer just stuck with small-time terror cells, but actually had real life bad guy armies they could use for big old movie battles. Sure, the factual ties between Iraq and terrorism were a little shaky, but the important thing was that audiences basically saw these enemy armies as the big military side of the characters that blow up planes.
And if you're watching something like Hot Shots!, you're not thinking too deeply about the moral ambiguity of the Gulf Wars.
But while it was a little easier to play the first Gulf War as bad vs. good, by the time we went back again, it was a lot more complicated. So at this point, you can't tell any kind of war story in the Middle East without accidentally making a political statement. Even the cartooniest action flick is going to be interpreted as "pro-war" if you set it in the Middle East without saying anything about the complexity of the situation.
Nobody ever brings up the legitimacy of Nazi zombie claims to land.
After all, as a wise cartoony action flick once said, "Shit just got real." It's hard to ignore how real and current the situation over there is, so almost all Middle East war movies nowadays are gritty and complex and try to make sense of war. It's not really any territory for people who just want to make your average bad-guys-good-guys action fest.
#4. China
In the real world, China is the rising new star on the Western world's international threat matrix. They're poised to economically dominate the world, and their military is not too shabby either. All those World War III-genre screenwriters who went dormant after Russia collapsed are now being revived from their cryogenic chambers to start writing China-threat scripts.
The best example of China becoming the new Russia is Red Dawn, the iconic Cold War invasion movie, which was recently being remade with China literally replacing Russia.
Unfortunately they ran into a snag: While we had a "Cold War" with the Soviet Union, our differences with China are more like a "Passive-Aggressive Catfight." We're not actually physically fighting China anywhere in the world, and neither country seems to even be thinking about it. Instead, we're duking it out with snide comments and aggressive economic policies.
And a little bit of lead poisoning.
We're actually talking to and trading with China, and although we have a lot of arguments about that trade, nobody wants to see it stopped. So pretty much anyone that likes making big money in the global economy can feel the squeeze when they want to talk shit about China. Including movie studios.
That's why the new Red Dawn is being hurriedly edited in post-production to remove all references to China and change the bad guys to ... North Korea.
Whoever his agent is, he deserves a raise.
Considering that North Korea doesn't even have the boats to send an invading army over here (or the shoes to feed them), the movie's marketing is also being changed from action to comedy.
It's not just Hollywood that's scared. The new game Homefront also caved under pressure to switch its baddies from China to Korea, but at least they had the sense to have the two Koreas unite in the game's alternate reality, so only half of our invaders are starving to death and would defect the moment they saw a Dairy Queen.
If these were North Korean troops, they'd be inside already.

I recommend that you also investigate the anatomy of the animal, to understand the muscle positioning, the right angles in the joints, etc. Obviously this does not apply if the only thing you want is to reproduce a photo, if that's what you want, then this tutorial is not for you.

The 6 Most Mind-Blowing Things Ever Caught by Fishermen
If you're fishing in the right place, the other end of your line might as well be in deep space for all we know about the bottom of the ocean. That's the sort of thought that tends to come rushing back to you once you're cranking a line in with something alive on the other end. Of course, what you drag up is usually in the realm of what you were expecting. Other times, it looks like a horror movie creation.
And occasionally what you pull up is so unlikely that they couldn't put it in a Disney movie for fear that 5-year-olds everywhere would spontaneously invent the word "bullshit" to describe what just happened on screen. For instance ...
#6. Tiger Shark Solves Murder Case
In 1935, Australians Albert and Charles Hobson baited a fishing line and left it off the coast of Sydney overnight. When they returned in the morning, they found out why most fisherman choose to get a good night sleep the night before they go fishing instead of while their lines are in the water: All the fish and even a small shark that had at one point been caught on their line now looked like Crystal Lake on Saturday the 14th. As they continued to haul in their line full of slashed and dismembered fish, they discovered the cause: A gigantic 14-foot tiger shark was entangled in their line and absolutely goddamn furious.
Willy Volk
"If I'm not untangled in exactly four seconds, it's about to get all Amity Island up in this bitch."
The two men eventually wrestled the beast to shore with ropes, and when it refused to die, they took it to the nearby Coogee Aquarium. After a week in captivity, the shark, determined to maintain its newfound celebrity status, proceeded to vomit up a human arm in front of a crowd of terrified onlookers, officially making this the coolest thing anyone has ever paid to watch happen prior to the invention of TV. What's more, the arm in question still had a length of rope tied to the wrist, and an autopsy determined that the arm had been removed from its body with a knife. After putting the shark through a series of rudimentary knife-fighting tests, it was determined that somebody else had cut the arm off, and the shark had merely swallowed it and spit it at some people who looked like they weren't scared enough of sharks.
"This guy wasn't even worth digesting."
This is where the story would end if it hadn't been for a rare tattoo on the arm that allowed investigators to identify it as belonging to Jim Smith, a former boxer who found a later career committing petty crimes and insurance scams. Apparently, Smith had been a police informant and tried to blackmail the wrong guys. When he ended up in dozens of pieces in a chest at the bottom of the sea, the murderer hung onto his arm, because it had a rare tattoo and would serve as proof that he'd actually done the deed.
There's nothing worse than being identified by your bad tattoo. Except for being murdered and identified by your bad tattoo, we guess.
Once it had served its purpose, the arm was discarded into the bay anchored to something heavy by a length of rope. What seemed like covering tracks at the time looked like a too-good-to-be-true buffet to the tiger shark when it swam by. To be fair, everything looks like a too-good-to-be-true buffet to tiger sharks (in that scene in Jaws where they find license plates and a boot in a shark's stomach, it's a tiger shark they're examining). When the guilty parties were brought to justice, we hope they noted that they totally would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for those meddling fishermen and their crime-solving shark.
The descendant of the shark later went on to star in a CSI: Miami episode, where he out-acted the entire cast.
#5. Barry Hunter Catches His Friend's Skull
In 2007, Barry Hunter spilled thousands of wriggling fish out in front of him. Since he was a fisherman and not an aquarium custodian, this was good news. The day turned decidedly shittier when he noticed a human skull among the fish, which is pretty much a bummer no matter what line of work you're in. Unless you're a surgeon.
"This would be fine if I wasn't actually operating on his groin."
Turning over his disturbing find to police, forensic investigation uncovered that the skull was that of the missing Brian Allison. Despite what this article would lead you to believe, the chances of human remains ending up in a fisherman's net are pretty slim. But the fact that the fisherman and the skull's owner used to be drinking buddies brings the whole thing into Gypsy curse territory.
Daily Mail
The sea is a harsh mistress, with a wicked temper when she drinks.
The commercial trawler the Jann Denise II had been found at the bottom of the dangerous North Sea three years earlier. The crew members, Brian Allison and his step-brother Robert Temple, were never found, and family, friends and fellow fishermen like Hunter all mourned the tragic loss.
Hunter's haul brought miraculous closure to family and friends and is a happy ending to a tragic story from their point of view. It's probably happy for Hunter, too, unless he had ever wronged Allison, or even swore at him during an argument about the ending of Blade Runner. If they had anything but the most casual and friendly acquaintance, Hunter is probably justifiably terrified of the bizarre turn of fate.
"The sign of the unicorn. Wow, dude, you really misinterpreted that entire film, didn't you?"
We're not going to suggest that the remainder of Mr. Allison's skeleton is still scratching its way to shore to exact terrible justice from beyond the grave, but someone should get Sam Raimi on the line about a script treatment, just in case.
"Hmm ... Bruce Campbell could use another beach house."
#4. Mexican Fisherman Renders Photoshop Obsolete
Up until now the catches have all been pretty plausible, if sailing a little too close to insanity. Then you have ... this:
Oh there you are, Insanity. We'll just dock right here then.
FAKE! is probably the only way to begin and end any conversation about the above picture when seeing it for the first time. The sport fishing enthusiast site piscesfleet.blogspot.com broke the story of a one-eyed shark captured near Baja California by a commercial fisherman in June of this year. With only two pictures put up for review, the chorus of Internet naysayers screaming, "faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake" reached a decibel level comparable to a Justin Bieber concert held at an artillery proving ground. Here's the second picture:
Someone's slapped a couple of fins on a whale penis again.
Online commentators pointed out how in the first picture the guy holding the shark was suspiciously covering the area where its eye should be. When the second picture surfaced, the conversation turned to how easy it would have been to brush out the eyes with Photoshop. Nobody took the pictures seriously, with one poster stating that, "a Cabbage Patch doll must be missing an eye somewhere," and fanaca on Buzzfeed.com got creative:
Then some more photographs surfaced, courtesy again of piscesfleet.blogspot.com:
Smile! You're dead!
In these later shots, some time has passed and the creature is noticeably a little the worse for wear in comparison to the originals. The gentleman in the pictures above is Dr. Felipe Galvan, one of Mexico's most renowned shark researchers from the Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias del Mar (CICIMAR), a respected marine science institute, where he has served as professor and researcher since 1982. While it was reported by Pisces Fleet that Dr. Galvan had "seen, studied and produced an initial paper on this otherworldly animal," and was awaiting review and publication, skeptics still voiced their disdain, complaining now that the shark had to be a creation of a special effects artist, and that it didn't have gill slits.
Oh wait ... there they are.
Deciding not to trust any website with an astrological sign in the URL, we tried on our real-journalist hats and contacted Galvan, who confirmed the authenticity of the pictures and provided a little insight into just what the hell is going on.
He seemed a little put off by our hat, because Batman.
Apparently when a pregnant bull shark was recently caught by a commercial fisherman in the Sea of Cortez, the albino cyclops shark was one of the unborn fetuses found inside. The fisherman declined to donate the Pixar character for study (presumably seeing the shellac guitar-playing souvenir potential), but allowed scientists to examine it temporarily, which is where Galvan enters the picture. He explained, "This is extremely rare, as far as I know less than 50 examples of an abnormality like this have been recorded." A deformation resulting from pollution was discounted by Galvan: "The water in the Sea of Cortez is one of the cleanest in the world, so it is not likely that this is a factor."
"At least it was before you started screaming "I AM THE NIGHT" at manta rays and shitting yourselves."
Galvan then directed us to a YouTube video in which the finder and a CICIMAR representative are interviewed on Mexican television, with some close-up shots of the now desiccated specimen.
As for the "how the fuck?" something called holoprosencephaly is the most likely explanation. Do NOT do a Google Images search of holoprosencephaly unless you and your lunch want to meet again for a second date. The phenomenon rarely results in Pixar-ready cuteness.
Except in this case, where Sulley and Mike obviously had a baby.

Private, the world's most renowned investigation firm, has been commissioned to provide security for the 2012 Olympic games in London. Its agents are the smartest, fastest, and most technologically advanced in the world, and 400 of them have been transferred to London to protect over 10,000 competitors who represent more than 200 countries.
The opening ceremony is still hours away when Private investigator and single father of twins, Nigel Steele, is called to the scene of a ruthless murder. A high-ranking member of the games' organizing committee and his mistress have been killed. It's clear that it wasn't a crime of passion, but one of precise calculation and execution.
Newspaper reporter Karen Pope receives a letter from a person who calls himself Cronus claiming responsibility for the murders. He also proclaims that he will restore the Olympics to their ancient glory and will destroy all who have corrupted the games with lies, cheating, and greed. Karen immediately hires Private to examine the letter, and she and Nigel uncover a criminal genius who won't stop until he's ended the games for good. "America's #1 storyteller" (Forbes) delivers an exhilarating, action-packed thriller that brings the splendor and emotion of the Olympics to a wildly powerful climax.
THERE ARE SUPERMEN and superwomen who walk this earth.
I'm quite serious about that, and you can take me literally. Jesus Christ, for example, was a spiritual superman, as were Martin Luther and Gandhi. Julius Caesar was superhuman as well. So were Genghis Khan, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Adolf Hitler.
Think about scientists like Aristotle, Galileo, Albert Einstein, and J. Robert Oppenheimer. Consider artists like da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Vincent van Gogh, my favorite, who was so superior it drove him insane. Above all, don't forget athletically superior beings like Jim Thorpe, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, and Jesse Owens; Larisa Latynina and Muhammad Ali; Mark Spitz and Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
Humbly, I include myself on this superhuman spectrum as well—and deservedly so, as you shall soon see.
In short, people like me are born for great things. We seek adversity. We seek to conquer. We seek to break through all limits—spiritually, politically, artistically, scientifically, and physically. We seek to right wrongs in the face of monumental odds. And we're willing to suffer for greatness, willing to engage in dogged effort and endless preparation with the fervor of a martyr—which, to my mind, is an exceptional trait in any human being at any age.
At the moment I have to admit that I'm certainly feeling exceptional, standing here in the garden of Sir Denton Marshall, a sniveling, corrupt old bastard if there ever was one.
Look at him on his knees, with his back to me and my knife at his throat.
Why, he trembles and shakes as if a stone had just clipped his head. Can you smell it? Fear? It surrounds him with an odor as rank as the air after a bomb explodes.
"Why?" he gasps.
"You've angered me, monster," I snarl at him, feeling a deeper-than-primal rage split my mind and seethe through every cell. "You've helped ruin the games, made them a mockery and an abomination."
"What?" he cries, acting bewildered. "What are you talking about?"
I deliver the evidence against him in three damning sentences that turn the skin of his neck livid and his carotid artery a sickening, pulsing purple.
"No!" he sputters. "That's...that's not true. You can't do this. Have you gone utterly mad?"
"Mad? Me?" I say. "Hardly. I'm the sanest person I know."
"Please," he says, tears rolling down his face. "Have mercy. I'm to be married on Christmas Eve."
My laugh is as caustic as battery acid. "In another life, Denton, I ate my own children. You'll get no mercy from me or my sisters."
As his confusion and horror become complete, I look up into the night sky, feeling storms rising in my head, and understanding once again that I am superior, superhuman, imbued with forces that go back thousands of years.
"For all true Olympians," I vow, "this act of sacrifice marks the beginning of the end of the modern games."
Then I wrench the old man's head back so his back arches.
And before he can scream, I furiously rip the blade across his throat with such force that his head comes free of his neck all the way to his spine.

Is there anything specific to think about when planning a long car journey (12 hours with an overnight stop) with a 2-month old? I guess one of the issues is whether one of the adults stays in the back with the baby, or whether both being up front is ok? We would make sure we stop regularly of course.
We have taken several road trips that each were in the range of 700 to 1500 kilometers (per direction). Things that were helpful to us include:
I would not recommend that one parent sits in the back, unless the baby is very very fussy. For very long drives, it can be assumed that one person cannot drive the whole distance. This means that the other parent must save enough energy to take his or her share of the drive. But if you've spent the whole time until then caring for the baby, then you're as exhausted as the driver. You would then need a stop of several hours.
The safer recommendation is to deliberately put you (and especially the driver) in a position where you can't address every little whim and whine of the baby. If it's worth making a rest stop for, then do that. If it isn't, then carry on -- you've got a long road ahead and you won't get there if you stop every fifteen minutes.
Make sure that the essentials are reasonably within reach from the co-pilot's seat. If you're lucky, the co-pilot can even reach around the back and hand baby the toy that she just threw onto the backseat, out of baby's reach. Make sure the rest of the car is safely packed, of course.
We did a long car journey (4 days with overnight stops, then 3 days on the way back) with our firstborn when she was 5 months old. One of us sat at the back to entertain her, equipped with the usual army of toys, colourful pictures, baby food etc. etc.
It went fairly well, she had no big problems. Whenever she wanted to move more than it was possible inside her safety seat, or was breastfeeding time, we stopped for a break. (She already started to eat some solid food at that time, but was still being breast fed a couple of times a day.) For a 2 months old, I guess this would cause even less trouble.
One of our friends did a similar journey at that summer, with a somewhat bigger baby. They also shared the back seat with the baby. They travelled mostly during the night, so their baby slept through most of the travel.
Put the kid behind the driver. That way, the person riding shotgun can easily reach it, while it is out of reach and out of sight for the driver.
Also be advised that they need to get out of the car as often as you do. If it's not too cold, bring a blanket for your kid to lie / crawl on when you make a stop.
A 2 month old doesn't have a whole lot of interests yet anyway, so there isn't a whole lot that can be done.
I would suggest several things:
A 2 month old usually needs constant care and stimuli. Unless you have an angel, who only cries for food and a diaper change, which for a 2 month old is about every hour. In Los Angeles, my place/house to place/house drive is usually 1 hour apart, so my babies had to get used to that very quickly on their own.
That said, have at least one adult in the back seat with the baby to provide stimuli and feeding. Plan out your tools for stimuli: iPad, android, singing, music, story telling, etc. Rotate adults as needed. When you stop you can also change the baby. Bear with the crying. Be mindful of your baby as only you know what is hurting your baby.

The Same Paige
Scottsdale magazine and Neiman Marcus teamed up for The Cusp Event to celebrate women in fashion, especially designer Paige Adams-Geller, who was there to introduce the latest styles from her brand, Paige Denim. Stylish guests enjoyed DJ-spun beats, chatted about their favorite ensembles and took mental notes during the fashion presentation. Also probably committing a look or two to memory was none other than Sarah Palin, who showed up to support longtime friend Adams-Geller, who is a former resident of Palin's adopted hometown of Wasilla, Alaska.

But that's not the worst part. It occurred to me recently that I now have more in common with my parent's generation than with my children's. When did that happen? Think about it. If you picture my parent's childhoods in the 1930's and 40's, substitute a family television set for the radio, throw in a better economy and air conditioning and voila...you have MY childhood in the 1960's. Both generations played outside and read books for entertainment. Telephones were attached to houses, not people. They had actual busy signals. We had a milkman. Term papers were written on a typewriter. We wrote letters because long distance calls were expensive. Our cameras used film and flash bulbs. Granted there was that whole walking-on-the-moon thing in 1969 but basically our daily lives weren't that much different.
Contrast that with the world of my children. I don't think any of them have ever written a personal letter. Certainly not to me. Why would they when they have email? They never hear a busy signal or fight with their sisters to use the phone. Milk comes from the store not the front porch. They have remotes. There is not only a television in the house but probably one in their bedroom. Usually next to their computer.
Anyway, you get my point.
So I'm thinking, as I'm looking forward to the release of the 1940 census in 18 days, that the lives of the people that I will be indexing in that census were not so much different than mine. Technology marches ever on. It just marches much faster now!

I've been pondering this for several weeks and I believe that the reformed church (really, the church in general) is woefully unprepared to answer the following question:
How should the church deal with a gay couple that were not Christians when married, that then become Christians?
Specifically when we have passages like 1 Corinthians 7:17(NIV)
17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.
I'm looking for relevant biblical quotations, quotes from reformed scholars past and present that are relevant and any statements by reformed churches or denominations that have come out in recent years.
I'm also interested in how circumstances and views change when 1 partner becomes a Christian, when there are children involved, and when both partners become Christians.
As gay marriage becomes more prominent, legal and prolific in our society, questions like this are going to be more and more relevant and the Church must be prepared to deal with an answer these queries.
I'm specifically interested in reformed sources here as they are most relevant to me, but I would be open to other sources that take a similar view of homosexuality.

Dear all,
can anyone tell me what settings i should use on upper and lower rail for this setup ?
Nikon D300
Nikkor 17-55 DX IF-ED Lense
For use of "on 17mm rectilinear panoarama".
If any of you would know upper and lower rail fixing parameter please do let me know as i am bit of hurry at clients place and i need to use rectilinear panorama here with still lense..
previously i had 18-70 ed lense and on that i had used lower=53mm | upper=92mm settings but as this lense is very much different than 18-70 i think settings for 17mm would be different.
Please help me find nodal settings for nn3.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category and $D^?(\mathcal{A})$ be its derived category, where ? could be empty, +, - or b (for boundedness). Is it possible to recover the homological dimension of $\mathcal{A}$ from the derived category?
Here I'm using the term homological dimension in the sense of Gelfand-Manin, i.e. if for all $X,Y\in\mathcal{A}$, $\text{Ext}\_{\mathcal{A}}^i(X,Y):=\text{Hom}_{D(\mathcal{A})}(X[0],Y[i])=0$, then the homological dimension is said to be less than $i$. The homological dimension is the maximal $n$ such that there exists a non-vanishing $\text{Ext}^n(X,Y)$.
Note that in the derived category one could have all kinds of non-vanishing $\text{Ext}^n(X,Y)$, as $X,Y $ can be complexes shifted arbitrarily. Is it still possible to recover this information via other method?

I am trying to find all the Dancers in Castelia City so I can battle them all and they can form some sort of dance team or something.
I have spoken to and defeated the one by the fountain in the Central Plaza, but other than that, I can't find any Dancers.
Where are they hiding?
