text: Peter, We used to apply our searches directly against MySQL. We switched for a few reasons, among them, we weren't stellar MySQL developers, and our database machine was relatively underpowered. My company has an online photo archive, and the database does a lot. In adition to holding the image data that is searched, it does user management, stores lightboxes, session and state management, etc. During particularily long searches, the rest of the functions would be effected noticeably. This didn't start happen until 100,000 records or so. At the time, I don't think that the fulltext indexing option was available. We were using a Perl module that emulated altavista style boolean searches against the database. In switching to Swish-e we noticed: 1. at least a 10x increase in the speed of our searches. I have padded my index out to 2 million records, just for fun, and swish-e searches are still exceedingly quick. 2. the actual application of the query provides much more accurate and relative results. this is based partly on things like stemming and soundex, and partly on... 3. ...the ability to apply logic to the records between the export from the database and the parsing into xml. We analise the keywords and other factors, and apply scores based on things like advertising potential, news potential, etc. swish-e allows us to really tweak this stuff in our index script prior to streaming the xml without having to muck up the data. 4. we put all of the data that will be displayed by the search results into the index, so for the entire search process, there are no database hits at all. it is really very handy that we don't have to call to the database to get the context and display info for every record. Anyway, I am sure that a lot of this stuff can be done in MySQL directly, but we have had such a good experience with swish-e that we will stick with it. Plus, i doubt that Monty would reply to my urgent, if somewhat incoherent support requests as quickly as Bill does ;) Brad ------------------------------------------------------------ Brad Miele Technology Director AuroraPhotos.com (207) 828-8787 x110 firstname.lastname@example.com Miss, n.: A title with which we brand unmarried women to indicate that they are in the market. -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" On Thu, 11 Dec 2003, Peter Karman wrote: > I'm hoping for some feedback from swish-e users out there who are also > using mysql. > > I know that some folks use swish-e to index mysql tables for searching. > Is there a reason you do that instead of just querying the database > directly?

Worldwide Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathons
From Noisebridge
In memory of hacktivist Aaron Swartz, there will be a series of hackathons around the world in Jan.-Feb., 2013 dedicated to understanding Aaron's work and keeping his projects alive. This page is intended as a record of what was done at each of these hackathons. If you'd like to suggest project ideas or help organize stuff, see the coordination spreadsheet. You can contact the main coordinator for the worldwide effort via email.

Here is a link to the playlist containing three videos from the Aaron Swartz Memorial Hacknight: http://hasgeek.tv/hasgeek/aaronsw-hacknight.
According to Kiran:
- We had a discussion for nearly two hours on Aaron's life and work and it's relevance in India. We recorded the whole talk on video and will process that soon (need to confirm the audio is decent since we didn't use a mike and speakers). http://hacknight.in/hasgeek/aaronsw-memorial/projects/1-what-did-aaron-do

- Arun Raghavan and company have had success with extracting electoral data from PDF files to make it searchable. They're retired for the night and will resume tomorrow to fix issues with long names that wrap awkardly in the PDF file and confuse their parser. http://hacknight.in/hasgeek/aaronsw-memorial/projects/7-liberate-electoral-data
- Anand also had some data to be processed that he's got a few enthusiasts helping him with. http://hacknight.in/hasgeek/aaronsw-memorial/projects/5-liberate-some-public-data

Oakley Half Jacket Sunglasses
Oakley's first dual-lens eyewear with interchangeable lenses, this chameleon lets you adapt instantly to any light condition. When the sun fades or flares, switch to a new set of optional lenses and change your entire point of view. Or just enjoy the freedom to customize your look instantly. Accented with true metal icons, the lightweight O MATTER frame includes UNOBTAINIUM earsocks and grip anchors. The open-edge design extends your vertical field of vision, and each set of optional lenses retains the peripheral clarity of XYZ OPTICS.

The polarized lenses are specially engineered to block the blinding rays of glare that are magnified by flat surfaces such as snow, water and pavement. Oakley polarization technology utilizes a liquid infusion process to bond the polarizing filter at the molecular level. That's how they eliminate the haze and distortion found in conventional technologies and achieve the best polarized optics on the planet.

I know that ラルク is the band L'arc En Ciel. What does コピー mean here? What does the first sentence say?
I know that ラルク is the band L'arc En Ciel. What does コピー mean here? What does the first sentence say?
A conversation wouldn't flow that way, at all. I'm positive. Is there more context? ってやってた is very poor Japanese. It's something that would not be said on a tape or on in an instructional book. This is what A-san would say: 何からその情報を得たのか. It's because って doesn't belong and やってた would mean that you're speaking down to the listener, as if the listener is a mangy dog or a very very low subordinate who warrants no respect at all. Nobody is so rude, except for a rowdy high school student, especially not in writing. Even in the case of high school students, they are usually insincere with this kind of jarring.
Copy isn't used properly here. So, it doesn't have any meaning. Copy has no meaning in this sentence. While it's true that 耳コピー has a meaning: 'copy by ear', it is very rarely used, even when asking for such a thing. Also, I am here with a friend of mine, and neither of us can think of any other case where a word directly proceeds コピー. There's always a particle between two words where the second word is コピー, with only the exception of the word 耳コピー.
Here's the question Native Japanese speakers will ask themselves when they read this sentence:
It seems the only (extremely unlikely) possibility is that the speaker is saying: "Is it a L'arc En Ciel copy band?" There's an even less likely possibility that they're saying: "Is it a copy of L'arc En Ciel's song?" If that were the case, the speaker would definitely say ラリクのコピーバンドですか or ラリクの歌をコピーしましたか. In either case, 他にも would cease to have any place in the sentence. 他にも would sound equally as strange and out of place in one of these corrected versions as ラリクコピー sounds in the original sentence.
So, isn't it possible that you misheard what was said? That seems most likely.

I love teaching Refugee Law and the Immigrant Rights Clinic because these classes provide the perfect combination of theory, policy, and practice in a field where fascinating, and often heartbreaking, stories abound. In Refugee Law, we learn the international and domestic law and policy of protecting individuals fleeing persecution or torture at the hands of their home governments, rebel groups, or even family members. In the clinic, students put that knowledge to work, advocating for their clients and helping them obtain the safety and freedom that our asylum laws provide.
I love teaching Criminal Law because the State, through the criminal sanction, has the power to imprison or execute its citizens; deciding which citizens are appropriate targets of this sanction is an enterprise that is momentous, difficult, and sometimes controversial.
I love teaching Civil Procedure because it is fundamental to the rule of law. Students enter the course expecting to learn an arcane and technical body of law. They soon find that without good procedure, legal rights are meaningless.
|Suzanne A. Kim
I love teaching, especially Civil Procedure and Family Law, because I enjoy helping my students discover what is hopeful and transformative in any area of the law. I see in them the future of our great profession and all the possibilities it presents to build society and bring change.
|Reid K. Weisbord
I love teaching Trusts & Estates because I'm fascinated by the interpersonal dynamics underlying the transfer of wealth. Lurking beneath every gift, whether by will, trust, or other form of conveyance, is a story about the donor's relationships with family, friends, and sometimes enemies; the question is, will the law facilitate the gift or will tensions arising from those relationships ultimately frustrate the donor's intent?
|Stuart P. Green
Students often arrive at their first year Criminal Law class thinking, "I've seen so many cop shows on TV and in the movies – how hard could this stuff be?!" As it turns out, Criminal Law is much more interesting and essential than they ever could have imagined. No society could hope to survive without some basic prohibitions on homicide, rape, assault, theft, and other harmful conduct – and some means to enforce those prohibitions. Seeing the terrible things that citizens do to their fellow citizens is fascinating in itself, but grappling with how society should respond to such behavior is even more so. I love teaching Criminal Law because I love seeing students begin to put those pieces together.
Amy Bitterman
|Alan Hyde
I love teaching Law because legal rules and texts actually change when we examine and criticize them. If 30 future lawyers, and I, walk out of the room thinking of a legal doctrine in a different way, then the law is now different than it was.
|Paul L. Tractenberg
I love teaching Contracts so that I can watch the eyes of beginning law students open wide as they begin to understand that law is not some abstract, distant and theoretical construct, but rather the stuff of everyday life; it's akin to the wonderment of the Moliere character who professed amazement that "for 40 years now I've been speaking in prose without knowing it!"
|Dennis Kim-Prieto
I love teaching Foreign, Comparative, and International Legal Research for many reasons. Not only am I fascinated by legal systems from around the world, but more importantly, I get to teach students research skills that allow them to add value to their practice and enhance their own research skills. No less a figure than Justice Breyer has espoused the necessity of teaching law students about foreign legal systems, and I am proud to be able to show students how to find primary legal material from jurisdictions outside of the United States.

For a normal surface rational singularity, we know that the multiplicity of is bounded by $e-1$ where $e$ is the embedding dimension (See for example Miles Reid's book "Chapters on algebraic surfaces").
I am wondering if this inequality also holds in higher dimension. If not, what can we say about the multiplicities.

The resolution of the TTY1-6 is poor ~ 640×480
Ubuntu 11.10 | Grub2 | nVidia | NVIDIA GT215 Board
I went through the process on this site and after the edit the GRUB menu appears in the correct (more refined resolution). But after it boots into GNOME (via gdm3) and I attempt to view terminal 1-6 the screen is barely or completely unreadable.
I am able to revert my changes but I am looking to restore the fine resolution the terminal screens are capable of.
To determine the screen resolutions avail. to me, I used:
hwinfo --framebuffer | grep "Mode"
Mode 0x0369: 1680x1050 (+6720), 24 bits
These are the steps I went through. edit 1) grub config 2) initramfs modules, then 3) update
sudo vi /etc/default/grub
Find the following three lines.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Change them to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1680x1050-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
sudo vi /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
Adding/editing line:
uvesafb mode_option=1680x1050-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap
Create a new file:
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
Finally update the configuration files:
sudo update-grub2
sudo update-initramfs -u
Again, the GRUB menu in the beginning of the boot-up process shows the more refined resolution (including small font size), but small refined focused resolution disappears for terminals after boot up.

We were predicted to finish 18th.
League Graph
A terrible start, then some good results, but then sometimes they played as they were the worlds greatest, but the game after they played as they were the worst players in the world!
Finances – I keep losing money every month and was crap in the FA cup, so no good cup-run for me.
Key Player Profiles:
Kyle Wilson – The best player this season with 25 goals.
Mark Preece – A decent season from Mark Preece.

Gave my 17 year old Welsh U19 international his full debut, got a 7.2, staying on for the 90 minutes in a 1-1 draw, impressive start, and he is officially my youngest player to play for me aged 17 years 158 days. Has 3 U19 caps.
Pre-Season Report
Sutton 2-0 Lewes (BSS)
Sutton 2-1 Burton (L2)
Great Wakering Rovers 0-0 Sutton
Horsham 1-1 Sutton
We dominated all 4 matches but our away form looks slightly dodgy already as we failed to win in both away friendlies against lower league opposition. Altho things look good for the season and i am happy with my squad but i can see our weakness being central defence.
Promotion odds
Boston Utd - Blue Square Premiership - 2010/11
Predicted: 14th
Felt pretty good about this season after signing a lot of youngsters and seemingly having a good tactic in place.
The first result, did nothing to dispel this and proved we had goals in us at very least..
Good first match
He got injured in the next match by the way
Unfortunatley our form was the absolute definition of inconsistancy and not until over half the season was through could I find a suitable tactic to gain a run.
No cup runs whatsoever due to the crap form early on.
The we began to recover and my boys up front decided were going to put the ball in the back of the net for me..alot. Which in truth, whilst nice, really now ****es me off knowing I probably could have won the league if these guys had of got this partnership down quicker.
But we gained pace and were clinging on to the play off places come the final match but in the end it was comfortable.
I now (for the first time) know the weird feeling of losing the semi-final play off match..always lost the final in previous games.
Anyway, we didn't turn up in the first match and in the second their pitch was so **** it could have been used for dirt racing.
First Leg
Second Leg
The cold hard, feeling of losing..
The only thing I'm worried about is the clubs finances which I kinda stretched a tad trying to get a few decent players in their wages. Hopefully they give until next season at least
Anyway here is the rest..
James Keating - My Player of the Year
Top Scorers BSN
Well the chairman has decided to keep me on for the moment and they have finally lifted the transfer embargo, so I have three weeks before the transfer deadline to shore up my team.
I lost all my pre-season friendlies (although I saw it as a money making opportunity and managed to book friendlies with Man City, Chalton and Sheffield United). Lost them all but managed to make quite a bit of money from them
Im interested in hearing about what signings you made though.
Season 2013/14 Review - Kingstonian in the Blue Square Premier
League Table
Past Positions
I guess third time really is a charmour third playoff in four seasons, and this time we duly delivered. The team looked solid and we were up there fighting for the top spots all season, but newly relegated Mansfield were just too good to get past. I still take some pride in scoring more than any other team in the league by some margin.
FA Cup | FA Trophy
Not a cup season to remember, but the Sheff Wed tie got us a nice ~£150K cash boost.
Yeah, I know, I have way too many strikers. Bauzá was in ridiculous form this season, scoring 37 goals and setting up an additional 18! He actually held an average of 1 goal scored per game for the first half of the season before injuries and other fitness problems came into the picture. 42 assists just from the wingers will also tell you a thing or two about how most of my attacks are set up.
Got a mediocre striker on loan from new parent club Arsenal for reasons I've long since forgotten; it's the last thing I need. The others all played key roles; Stewart, Spring and Sinclair quickly formed a new midfield partnership and Szamotulski did fine to replace Moyes. Oh, right, I sold Moyes for some decent transfer money for a change; I couldn't resist the offer as we were leaking a worrying £25K a month. Hopefully the "50% of next transfer profit" clause will prove fruitful down the line.
Aim for next season: Stay up, obviously. Mainly hoping to attract some better defenders as we're letting in a few too many goals even here on BSP level.

I just noticed Super Kyle was available for free in my game, so I signed him up and he's scored 3 goals in his first two matches...
here are my transfers, im guessing people will recognise a few of them
And off we go.
After absolutely failing at this challenge last year, I believe I have gotten more patient in the lower leagues, and the new tactic creator will help a lot too.
Anyone else in the BSP noticing some wierd players count as homegrown? - The two Bulgarians I signed and all the Scottish players bar Millar count as Nation Grown for some weird reason.
Just had a good close look at some of the fans, hilarious really, makes it that much better, especially the bald guy in the white t-shirt with his fist pumped in the air.
Tweaked the tactics a bit and managed to get a 1-1 all draw away to weymouth. We were actually the better team so i am still disappointed we only got a draw
Doubt it, but I have little to no knowledge when it comes to skinning, so maybe ask in the skinning forum.
In good news, my 17 year old Welsh U19 right back, who is a product of my youth system, scored the winner in a 1-0 win vs Chelmsford, after coming off the bench, with a penalty. With a penalty stat of 12, it is little surprise really. See big things for this guy in my side, despite my coaches giving him 2 star potential.

My current league table;
A nice run has made us pretty comfortable playoff contenders, but it'll take something special for automatic promotion. I hate playoffs, but hopefully my star striker Craig Rodger can add to his 29 goals this season and pull us through.
Holidaying now!
Bedford Town F.C (Opening report)
Transfers: My opening transfers were average at best, I wasnt able to compete with other clubs for the good young players coming out of Scotland in particular, they chose other clubs on every occasion
Key Player: Neil Ashton My new captain and has started of solidly, my second best signing at left back had a terrific debut getting an assist with a 7.2 rating and then got injured for 3 weeks, he has now followed that up with another for 2 months .... happy days
Results: My 2 friendlies seemed to go well, I held Cambridge to a 3-3 draw in a thrilling game where it could have gone either way, as they are a BSP team I was impressed. I then beat Gainsborough 2-1 so all was on track.
I then lost my opening 3 games of the season and the first two were tight leaving me feeling like I deserved alot better, a bore draw at Gainsborough has resulted in a little spurt of form, winning my last two games and climbing too 12th
Tonbridge Angles 2010-2011 BSS
Well we started the season conceding to many but score quite a few, we sat in 8th place for a while, the things started going down hill. A middle of the season slump saw us fall to near the bottom of the table, and we never really re-gained the form we saw earlier on in the season. Towards the end of the season we managed to stop leaking goals but then couldn't score in a brothel and we had many 0-0 or 1-1 draws.
Final Position: 18th
Cup runs: Never really got going, so nothing really to comment on here, knocked out in the 2nd qualifying round of the fa cup, dissapointing.
Finances: Again struggled, 120,000 in the red, never good.
Key players: None. Really we we're pretty poor all over, need a big overhaul next year, get rid of the dead wood.
Summary: Not a great first season but atleast we managed to avoid the drop. Need to strengthen all over next year, but being optimistic, promotion push.
Sounds like the sort of season im heading for as well there Chris, good luck finding some gems before your new season
At least I think I'm right with that, someone else ITK feel free to correct me on that.
Cheers matey. It really was depressing, my striker at the start of the season couldnt stop scoring, banging in 15 in 21, he finished the season with 17, dont know what happened to him haha Kyle wilson really did not live up to my expectations, only scoring 6 all season, couldnt believe it. Good luck to you fella.
Now on 43 games, got a couple of wins to put us just 3 points behind league leaders York and Cambridge. Unfortunately a 2-1 win over Woking was a battle (quite expected as i'm an Aldershot fan!) which, in addition to a couple of short term injuries, has ruled one half of my awesome strike partnership, James Keatings, out for 3-4 weeks. I've got a decent striker on loan from Peterborough, but he blows hot and cold. Hopefully he'll step up for our title push...
So we've had a mixed start to our debut season in the BSP - we are 9th after six games, having won 3, drawn 1 and lost 2 - we beat the favourites Wrexham 2-0 at home, but then followed it with a 4-2 away defeat to Ebbsfleet - the fitness of my team is a real problem we just cannot play two matches in a week.
Things weren't helped by the takeover taking all summer, leaving me with just three weeks to find some new right wingers and some cover upfront - I wasn't helped by the fact that no decent players seem interested in playing for me at all, luckily I managed to bring in several players at the end of last season before the embargo took place to shore up the defensive positions, I haven't managed to find any strikers though so if Keatings or Fitzharris get injured I'll be in trouble
Barring a miracle I have lost out on the BSP title. Our epic final run sees us 2nd, just 3 points behind Cambridge with one game remaining. Our goal difference is superior, but we need to beat 8th placed Wrexham while Cambridge have to lose to bottom of the league and already relegated Welling. I'm tempted to rest my players for the playoffs, but you never know what could happen!
...well I won, but so did Cambridge. So i'll be facing the playoffs.

I've started over again. This time opting for Billericay Town and so far have found myself performing much better in the transfer market and building what should be a far better squad than the one I had at Tonbridge. I will include my initial profile screenshot with my end of season report.
Potentially brilliant goalkeeper - Luke Bennett. Unfortunately he's 17 and requires compensation if I snap him up Going to keep tabs on him for the future.
Really beginning to enjoy FM now - learning so many new details of the game i never knew about before.

Congrats Scab on promotion, I had the same thing, 3 payments of £30k when we got promoted as 3 teams had regained EPL status that season who went down recently
After our devastating season debut with a loss 5-0 we have picked our self up after applying to different tactics; one home, one away.
things are looking bright but im not fooling my self, anything can happen really only through 1/3 of the season
26 games through the season we sit in 19th place, still not that worried about relegation as we are playing pretty well but not getting results go our way, only worry really is the amount of goals we are conceeding so will try to fix that throughout the season ready for next years attempt at trying to get promotion from league 2.
Just managed to sign a GK from Bohemians in Ireland that has Championship potential ability, not bad for a 17 year old
Can't wait to get stuck into this after my exams finish on the 24th. (Resisting getting the game because I'm a good boy)
I have no luck with these
I never quite got round to doing this challenge last year, so decided to start on it straight away this time!
Began as manager of Carshalton last night, here's my manager page.
Early season form has been a bit up and down, not helped by results like this!!
Is it a bug, or just and unlucky match?
Just unlucky, I've had games like that but mainly in cup games against higher league opposition, quite frustrating really
Well we're safe with 3 games left of the season, have mixed opinions because we really haven't had much luck with injuries that have ripped the squad apart for nearly the entire campaign, infact I think we have only been able to play our best XI for around 10 games of this season which is really bad considering how my backup players aren't really that good for league 2. Therefore the struggle we found ourselves in hasn't surprised me a big deal, the bonus points are we are no longer in debt, although we only have £32k in the bank it is a positive side that the cup game against Sunderland helped us a fair bit in finances.
Will post some screenshots when the season ends, have a big job this summer and hopefully my wage budget will increase so I can upgrade my squad enough to push up the table next season, the bonus of course is that my squad is very young so will improve every week so come the start of next season we will definately be stronger then we were at the start of this season.

Survival was the goal at the start of the season, so I should be happy with a 16th place finish. But things could have been a lot better, with the team sitting mid-table with 11 leagues games left in the season. A run of 1 win, 3 draws and 7 losses in those last 11 matches put a dent in any hopes of pushing for a playoff spot or finishing in the top-half of the table.
In the end 16th place probably didn't do the team justice, but overall the players did well and I'll be looking to push on in the new season.
No notable cup runs to speak of. Knocked out in the 3rd qual. round of the FA cup, and out at the first attempt in the FA trophy.
Hendon 2012/2013 League 2 Season Review
Well as I previously mentioned we have avoided relegation, quite comfortably in the end as we were 11 points clear which is what I thought roughly we'd be as the season went on. The squad was too thin, whilst I was reasonly happy my first XI was good enough to be mid table and even fight for the play offs if things went our way my backup players really are pretty poor for this league so we suffered badly from injuries throughout the season.
There were a few positives in my new partnership upfront scored 37 competetive goals between them which gives me hope they are both good enough for me next season, the downside is we simply conceeded so many goals this year and nothing I did altered the fact my defenders simply let themselves down badly time & time again. I will look to improve on my defenders this summer as they simply haven't improved as the season went on, I can only assume due to my training facilities not allowing this to happen.
League Table
Player Stats For Season
I'm through to the playoff final after beating Aldershot 2-1 on aggregate in two very tight encounters. It's also nice to be playing in front of 5000+ people rather than the average of 1500. Now we face Mansfield in the final. They were top of the league for most of the season, but when we beat them 2-1 at their ground they hit a bit of a slump. Hopefully we can add to their misery!
Good work in the semi final Gypsum, must have been tough as an Aldershot fan though!!
I'm 1-0 up at half time in the Playoff final. A solid performance so far and a nice goal by my main man Craig Rodger...
...despite some late pressure, including Mansfield hitting the post on 86 minutes, we held out to win 1-0 in front of 38,000 fans at Wembley. So King's Lynn are in League 2!

Congratulations on promotion into the Football League with King's Lynn Gypsum
just been linked to millwall job, but Paul Merson is favourite lol
Ok, Going to give this a go, never got time to start this in 09 so this will be my very 1st attempt
The Lucky Team is Kings Lynn, would have liked Durham but after losing count of reloads i gave up,

Predicted 16th so could have been worse, £0 Transfer Budget as expected and a Wage Budget of £4.3k
Time to Wheel and Deal,
BSN Watch out, The Linnets are Coming
Really building up a fixture backlog.
Had a FA Trophy match drawn, pushed a match back. The replay was postponed, pushed another game back. Lost that game 4-1. One of my catchup games, been postponed (although another game of the 4 being played was postponed, at Barrow)
Well going into the 4th season my board still don't want a parent club, shame as it is holding us back greatly, financially it's getting very very hard to find players when you are given a wage budget £10k a week and already spend £11.3k on a tiny squad with few players good enough to push for promotion from League 2. Doesn't help with poor training facilities the youngsters I buy with potential stop progressing pretty early it seems.
My defence is really crap!
i have played 5 games in the league, scored 12 but i have let 11 goals in.
Hi, is there any chance at all for getting Aveley (Rep. 750)?
Hey, I'm gonna start my first LLM challenge ever this time... hopiong for Truro City as there my local club, but looking unlikely .
Will post manager profile as soon as i get that far.
Got 8 matches in 28 days this month, seeing the advantages of giving one of my two coach slots to a fitness coach, or else my players would have been shattered.

Key players;
Craig Rodger - ST - Our star man yet again. A real force up front, Rodger was the BSP top scorer and a contender for player of the year. His winning goal in the playoff final capped an excellent season where he scored 33 goals, created 18 with 10 MoM awards and a 7.33 rating. Already a favourite at King's Lynn, Rodger now has 60 goals in his two seasons at the club and amazingly has never suffered an injury, allowing him to make 94 appearances so far.
Matt Taylor - DC - A rock at the back, Taylor was a key signing this season. Signed on a free after leaving Exeter, Taylor made 44 appearances for us this term with a 7.24 rating.
Danny Butterfield - DR - An excellent addition for us at right-back. His experience and well-roundedness helped shore up a young, inexperienced side.
Dominic Green -AMRL - A loan signing from our Premiership parent club Peterborough, Green to a while to get started but became an invaluable part of our promotion campaign. His speed and skill down the wing was exceptional at this level as he racked up 22 assists this season.

I love this cup <3
Big money awaiting if I can just get past Kidderminster... and man do we need it; leaking £55K/month right now.
Anyone has his club changed to professional already?
And another guestion, what kind of training do you guys atm have? Just one general or all kind of different part time ones...
Yeah, Kingstonian turned professional at the start of this first League 2 season.
I've left the training as-is on the defaults. I don't bother with it as long as the players are only part-time and instead focus on minimizing injuries by keeping the training load low. Once I get everyone over on full-time contracts I'll start tinkering with it.
Just want to check a few things, as i'm new to these forums and as a result the challenge. When you put your manager on holiday until 25 June, does that take out the 2009/2010 season so bascially you start in the 2010/2011 season (at work so can't remember the dates you normally start)
Yeah Hendon turned pro at the start of League 2 also
Correct looking busy
Cheers folks, will start this tonight. Another thing for Mrs Busy to get anoyed about, she already loathes FM.
Think i'll go for Hemel Hempstead as they are the nearest to where i live
You may have to spend quite a while reloading to get Hemel Hempstead as they have a very low rep of 750 unfortunately
Hendon are going all French this season, oooo la la!
decided to play the challenge again this year.
you are now looking at the new manager of Dartford
Promoted first season with Truro City, currently won the first 5 in the BSP. I will post a big update after a few more seasons.
Hendon 2013/2014 League 2 Pre-Season Review
Well after being right down in the bottom 5 for all of last season I really went into this summer's transfer window determined to be ruthless and remove those in my squad who simply were not good enough & replace them with some real quality players who can help the club push up the table. The biggest change I have made is switching from the 4132 that got me promoted from BSN & BSP in 2 seasons and going with a 41221 formation with AMR & AML to provide the ammunition for a loan striker.
The key to this decision was that I feel my central midfielders to be better then last year and I don't feel the need to swamp the central area in hope of breaking teams down so decided we can afford to be slightly more aggressive and play wider across the pitch in a bid to stretch teams better and contain possession better in order to avoid us being under so much preassure as we were last season.
Coming into the club were 14 players of which 3 were loan signings to give me some more backup to my first team squad, again we had no money to spend so every transfer was for nothing (although the screenshot shows a player signing for £1k the deal was £0k & 50% sell on fee). The best signing I feel is a young French regen called Jean-Pierre Lenormand who signed on a bosman after being released by AS Saint-Etienne in the summer. He will be partnered in central midfield by fellow new signings Ross Rioch (released by Hearts) and fellow Frenchman Florian Moulet (Released by Marseille).
We also signed a 3rd Frenchman in centre back Mathieu Galvan who was also released by Marseille in the summer. We kept up our raid on the foreign leagues by trialling various players and opting to sign four more Danish youngsters to give the squad some width as we had a very narrow minded squad due to the previous tactic we used.
My hopes are to finish mid table this season, I certainly feel more confident at this stage then I did last year as we have concluded our transfers before the first game and I feel the squad has far more talent in it and depth.
Ok, so those 8 games in 28 days wasn't too bad as it turned out
5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the 8 games, and I am now 14 points away from relegation, with 6 games to go, so almost made safety. Also 14 points off the playoffs.
Bedford Town Pre Season
A busy 6 weeks or so for new manager Craig Jones both on and off the pitch. Off the pitch Jones quickly brought in his new backroom team to support him in the season to come, the main aquisition being ex player Adrian Littlejohn, who became assistant manager. Although he has no experience in management, Jones has put his faith in him, only time will tell if this gamble pays off.
New signings came flying in as Jones strengthened his squad with no less than 10 players, giving the side plenty of depth aswell as hopefully a couple of key players to give the side some much needed firepower. Upfront was the main area of concern, Jones only had 2 strikers, neither were good enough. 4 new strikers arrived at the club, and the signings of Andy Atkin and Christiano Kisuka really excited the fans when they were unveiled in a joint press conference. Hopefully these two can form a formidable strike partnership for the club.
On the field Bedford played 3 friendlies to prerpare for the season, the first a 1-0 defeat at home to cambridge which was played by a side mainly made up of trialists. With a few more signings at the club when Bedford played Barrow in their 2nd game Jones was expecting a better performance from his side, which they delivered even though again they lost 1-0. Bedford dominated the 2nd half but were just unable to break down the premier divisions defence. The final friendly saw a near full house down at the New Eyrie to see premier league Birmingham send their reserve side. The side was a mixture of first team squad players and youth players. After a scoreless first half Birmingham opened the scoring shortly after the break. Jones made a couple of substitutions and sent on another striker much to the delight of the home fans. In the 92nd minute Bedford equalised, and sent the bumper crowd wild. A fantastic team peformance infront of nearly 3000 people a week before the season starts, a great way to get prepared for the season ahead.
With the local media predicting a 21st placed finish for Bedford the aim is purely to avoid relegation, but with a few shrewd moves in the summer by Jones, and promise in pre-season a higher placed finish wouldn't come as a surprise to those within the club.
Good work Dan
Safety is secured with 4 games to spare. Lets get some positive results out of them, and I might try out a few different players on the last game, but not before as my next 3 games are against 2nd, 3rd and 1st. Still can have an influence in who goes up automatically after all as 2 points seperate those three teams. Thank god I am not in a position where I would have needed results.
Best of luck for the season Craig, I think we are the only two posting who are managing Bedford so interested too see how you get on, Im 8 games into the season so far
I draw Crawley in the 4th qual round in the FA-cup. Crawley is in the BSP and i am in the BSS. Will post a screenshot of the game in 2 min.
Quick update on my first season with Ashton.
4 games left of the season to go. I'm lying outside the play-offs in 6th but only 4 points behind first.
8 points separate the top 9 so this is going to be tight to say the least!
Nice game!
Drew Lincoln in the first round. They are in league 2 but are placed as 23th.
Last edited by Kazpeer; 03-11-2009 at 15:33.
Nice work mate good luck against Lincoln
Put out a second string 11, and drew 1-1. Ended up 20th with 54 points, and a GD of -2. Least goals conceded outside of the top 4 as well, which is a good sign.
Will i start unemployed.. or choice one of the clubs? I'm confused :S
You start in the 2010/2011 season as the manager of one of the newly promoted club, one division below the blue sq. premier

Your support provides a rich academic environment that promotes inquiry and innovation, helping students to explore, question, and discover.
A message for you from Dr. Greg Privitera, associate professor in St. Bonaventure's Psychology Department
"Many institutions of higher education say that their graduates will become qualified upon graduation to meet the standards of their prospective employers. However, particularly today, the job market is filled with qualified candidates. Getting selected is not about being qualified anymore. Instead, it's about standing out among all those who are qualified—it's about becoming extraordinary. Here at Bona's we don't settle for just qualified. Let me give you some examples of how your generosity has helped us surpass qualified and enter extraordinary.
Through your partnership with the university, I have been able to develop opportunities for students to be teaching assistants (TAs) at the undergraduate level—a rarity in university settings. This is critically important to student success. Typically less than 1% of applicants are accepted to doctoral-level programs. I am happy to report that my last two TAs have since been accepted to doctoral programs.
Because of your support, 11 undergraduate students have been named as co-authors in seven peer-reviewed scientific journals in the student research I have been involved in since 2011. Nationally, less than 1% of undergraduate students are named as authors on peer-reviewed research; the 11 student authors at Bona's account for about 20% of our junior/senior psychology class. That is something truly extraordinary. And of those who have applied to graduate school, including the four students who applied to doctoral programs, 100% have been accepted. Thank you for your partnership and investment in The Bonaventure Fund as that is what makes St. Bonaventure Extraordinary."

GENESEO, N.Y. - Students and faculty at the State University of New York at Geneseo have a new state-of-the-art digital media lab (DML) at their disposal in the college's Milne Library with a wide array of media to support their academic endeavors.
Among options the DML offers are the ability to create and edit video and audio materials, podcasts and interactive web sites, using professional-level equipment and software for both Mac and PC computers.
"Users of the lab will find it an inspiring and creative place to design digital media, edit audio and video, or develop digital research and scholarship projects," said Sue Chichester, the college's chief information officer and director of the department of computing and information technology (CIT). "Library and CIT staff members will be available to assist in using the equipment and software during library hours and we expect heavy demand."
The interim director of Milne Library, Cyril Oberlander, says digital technologies are becoming increasingly important for both students and faculty in the production of materials for class projects, research pursuits and community initiatives.
"The lab places these technologies all in one location on campus, which provides convenience for equipment check-out and project guidance," said Oberlander. "We are trying to merge digital scholarship with a strong instructional design component. This multi-media lab is a foundation that we will continue to develop based on the needs of our students and faculty."

STEUBENVILLE - If you're planning on hitting the Black Friday sales, plan on leaving early. Several hours hours early, to be precise.
This year, some of America's biggest retailers are planning to open their doors to early bird bargain hunters on Thanksgiving night.
Wal-Mart, for instance, is kicking its holiday shopping season off at 8 p.m. Thursday with a special round of in-store specials. Two hours, later the retail giant will host a special electronics sale event, followed at midnight by its traditional storewide savings event.
"We're striking a balance between being competitive and meeting customer demand," Wal-Mart spokesman Molly Philhours said. "Last year, we started at 10 p.m., we had our highest customer traffic. According to the National Retail Federation, Thursday night shopping has surged over the last few years."
Kmart, meanwhile, will be open from 8 p.m. Thursday through 3 a.m. Friday, then reopen Black Friday hours with hours from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Sears, its sister brand, will be open from 8 p.m. Thursday to 10 p.m. Friday.
Both will offer deals on everything from apparel, toys, video game systems, flat screen TVs and other electronics to tools and a range of household items.
"The company made the decision based in part on feedback from its Shop Your Way members, who sought more flexible Black Friday in-store shopping times and eagerness to shop doorbuster deals," a spokesman said.
Ron Boire, executive vice president, chief merchandising officer and president, said Kmart stores have opened on Thanksgiving for the past 21 years, "serving as a destination for last-minute entertaining needs."
"We understand that many of our associates want to spend time with their families on the holiday, so Sears and Kmart will staff its stores with seasonal associates and those who have volunteered to work on Thanksgiving Day," he said.
Macy's, meanwhile, opens at midnight Thanksgiving night with "amazing markdowns, unbeatable deals and limited-time offers," the company said. Everything from remote control electronics, fragrances and kitchen appliances to clothing items, luggage and outerwear will be on sale.
The idea, Macy's Peter Sachse said, is to help consumers find the best deals.
"For the first time last year, Macy's stores nationwide opened at midnight and our customers loved getting a head start on their holiday shoppping," he said. "Based on their enthusiastic response, we plan to repeat it again this year."
Macy's also enhanced its mobile app to help consumers "identify and locate specials throughout each store on Black Friday." Customers who download the app can view the store's Black Friday specials on their mobile device, create personal shopping lists that they can edit and share with friends, and receive push notifications offering details on previously unadvertised specials specific to each Macy's location.
Philhours said the changes are customer driven. She said the shopping community told them they pull out their sales flyers as soon as the leftovers have been put away.
"The Christmas shopping season is huge in retail, it's the Super Bowl of retail," she said. "We're striking the balance between being competitive and the needs of our customers. We're very proud of our plans, we feel very well positioned to give our customers what they want."
Wal-Mart will roll out its attention-getters in stages - at 8 p.m. Thursday, for instance, in-demand video game systems and titles will be on sale, along with everything from electric scooters and battery-powered ride-on toys to some home appliances, DVD movies, air hockey tables and a trampoline. At 10 p.m., high-profile electronics, including flat screen TVs, laptop and Nikon cameras, headphones and mobile hotspots take center stage, and at 5 a.m. there'll be, among other things, more flat screens, notebook computers, smartphones, tires, toools and holiday items.
Wal-Mart, meanwhile, has also taken steps to avoid running out of what figures to be the most in-demand deals - an Apple iPad2 with WiFi, an Emerson 32-inch flat screen TV and an LG Blu-ray player. Customers who are in the line to purchase those items between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. Thursday will get a guarantee card if they sell out before 11 p.m. Provided they pay for the item before midnight and register the sale online, it will be shipped to the store for them to pick up before Christmas.
"We bought very deep to make sure we have (enough)," Phillhours said.

Google always helps to find solution, but most of the time i just copy paste all the codes that are suggested. Sometimes it works like charm, sometimes i screw up my Ubuntu. Not anymore. I really want to know whats under the hood and how these things work. So, please suggest me how to get started from the very basic of Ubuntu, perhaps more generally linux.

Install VirtualBox, set up an Ubuntu guest inside it, checkpoint it, and start experimenting. Restore from the checkpoint if you mess things up too much — after exploring to see why it broke. Best way I know of to learn.
You mentioned the problem.You just copy and paste the commands.You search and find your answers so the command you're finding are needed.Search for them and learn about them.
An alternative solution is
linuxmanpages.com is great too.You can view linux manuals online in categories
For more information you can find great free books in http://www.tldp.org/guides.html
The Linux System Administrator's Guide among them is fantastic and gives you a good view of linux and it's structure.Don't miss it.
You can download the PDF version here and read it online here.
Of course there are many solutions to learn linux but learning the needed commands and searching about my linux questions was the most efficient way for me.
There are many books from famous publishers about linux but there is no need to pay money.Fortunately we're using free softwares world products and we have many free resources to learn.

After standing still for Kedusha, some people move after saying Yimloich, whereas others wait until after the Chazan says Hokail Hakodoish. What is the correct way?

Per Aruch Hashulchan Siman 95:5 in the name of the Elya Rabbah it is proper that the feet should remain together after Kedusha until Hakel Hakodesh.
Rav Shlomo Zalmen Auerbach Zatzal (Halichos Shlomo, Tefilah, Perek 8: Ha'arah 60) maintains that on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur when there is a long time between Kedusha and HaKel Hakadosh, it isn't necessary to stand until HaKel Hakadosh
Tefillo Kehilchoso says that the sense of the majority of authorities is that one can move after Yimloch. He quotes (in 117) MB 95 [8]. The reason given there not to move the feet in kedusho is because we say "keshaim shemakdishim" (as the angels sanctify). We are to learn that the angels only say up to yimloch. We stand with feet together imitating the angels.
He further says, "but 125 [9] MB" quotes sources that say one cannot speak until after Hokail Hakodosh (presumably such speech as is allowed in the repetition of the Amidah).
He quotes the Eliya Rabbo (95, 7) and the Kaf HaChaim (16) as saying you must wait until after Hokail Hakodosh.
That Yimloch is part of the praise of the angels is referred to in this blog who gives midrashic sources (see for example Psikta Rabbosi 20).
I have heard that some say it depends what text of the siddur you're using.
In Nusach Ashkenaz, the chazzan concludes Kedusha with L'dor vador nagid gadlecha, "and we shall continue to sanctify You from generation to generation ..."; this is a direct flow from the responsive kedusha, which wouldn't finish until the chazzan completes his blessing of hakeil hakadosh. Thus, people should remain in place until that point.
In Nusach Sefard, the chazzan simply continues ata kadosh v'shimcha kadosh, which is the standard blessing without kedusha. This means that kedusha has finished, and he's starting a new thing. If so, the last line of kedusha is yimloch, and people can move about as soon as the chazzan begins ata kadosh.
Note that a community where people remain at attention longer should probably continue that practice, rather than encourage anything with might reduce proper synagogue decorum.

The Barton Group, Glens Falls, N.Y., has been designated LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for its corporate headquarters located in Glens Falls, NY. LEED Platinum is the highest rating under USGBC's system for designing and constructing the world's greenest, most energy efficient and highest performing buildings. The Barton building represents the first Platinum certified building in Warren County, the seventh in New York State, and the 105th in the United States.
"This accomplishment is a validation of Barton's ongoing efforts to promote environmental stewardship," said Charles Bracken, Chairman of The Barton Group. "Our new headquarters illustrates the commitment of Barton to the residents of Glens Falls and the surrounding region and to the health and happiness of our employees."
"There is no greater commitment private businesses can make than a commitment to protect our environment and precious natural resources," said Francis J. Murray Jr., New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) president and CEO. "NYSERDA is proud to have worked hand-in-hand with Barton to achieve their environmental accomplishments, which are equally shared by Governor David A. Paterson, who has laid out the most ambitious and achievable environmental goals in the country. By investing in energy-efficient and sustainable new construction projects such as Barton, NYSERDA continues to fulfill its commitment to use innovation and technology to solve some of New York's most difficult energy and environmental problems in ways that improve the State's economy."
The new Barton headquarters is a complete renovation of a three-story brick building dating from 1865. Improvements to the 16,000 square foot facility include a panelized green roof; a geothermal heating and cooling system; energy-efficient windows; a raised floor system to allow for air distribution and electrical and network cabling; and a rainwater collection system. LEED Platinum designation was based on a number of green design and construction features that positively impact the project itself and the broader community. These features include:
Through NYSERDA's New Construction Program, Barton qualified for $68,459 in financial incentives related to the building's improved energy efficiency, green building practices, and green building certification. The New Construction Program offers technical support to building design teams and financial incentives to building owners to effect a permanent transformation in the way buildings are designed and constructed.
"Buildings are a prime example of how human systems integrate with natural systems," said Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO & founding chair, U.S. Green Building Council. "The Barton project efficiently uses our natural resources and makes an immediate, positive impact on our planet, which will tremendously benefit future generations to come."
"The headquarters of The Barton Group is a shining LEED Platinum example of what corporations can do to address the impact that buildings have on our environment and our natural resources," said Tracie Hall, Executive Director of the U.S. Green Building Council New York Upstate Chapter. "From the preservation of a historic building to the inclusion of renewable energy, the building embodies the essence of sustainability and serves as a model for others to follow. The corporate commitment and involvement of key partners for design, construction, operations and maintenance, as well as the incentives afforded by NYSERDA, demonstrate that Barton has invested in a more sustainable future for the benefit of all."
All aspects of the design-build project, including the demolition, construction and architectural planning were undertaken by construction firm Bette & Cring. Construction began late in the fall of 2006 and Barton staff moved into their new headquarters in August 2007.
The Barton Group headquarters, designed by Mahota Associates, was a finalist in ED+C's 2008 Excellence in Design Award in the Commercial, Office, Industrial, and Corporate Building Category.

On-line Law School Locator
boston college career center
About The Boston College Law School Locator 2015-2016
The Law School Locator lists the 25th to 75th percentile LSAT scores and GPA ranges of first year classes at accredited law schools, entering in the fall of 2014. This means that half of a law school's entering class scored in the range indicated.
The Locator can help you identify schools where your scores and grades are most competitve for admission and help you gauge your chance of admission at a particular school. The chart is useful in evaluating law school choices but cannot determine where you should or should not apply.
The law schools are placed in cells on the chart according to their 25th percentile scores.
All schools accept applicants with marks above and below these scores. The ranges give an idea of the quantitative criteria expected. In selecting schools, choose some "safe" schools, and consider "long-shot" schools in addition to those where your numbers make you competitive.
A low score in either your GPA or your LSAT would need to be offset by a higher score in the other area.
Competitive Schools
Each cell in the Law School Locator represents a specific range of LSAT and GPA scores. Find the cells where your scores are in the top half of the range. These cells define your "competitive" area. Your statistical chance of admission at schools in this area is roughly estimated at fifty-fifty based on the numbers alone. Your personal statement, letters of reference, and other qualitative credentials become most important in determining admission to these schools.
Reach Schools
The cells above and to the right of this competitive area represent "reach schools" for you. Apply to some reach schools if there are one or two that you truly want to attend for very specific reasons. Provide a clear reason for them to accept you. Explain the special programs that interest you, unusual experience you have, or other personal characteristics that make you an attractive candidate for each school.
Safety Schools
In the cells below and to the left of your competitive area you will find schools that you might consider "safe bets" on the basis of your numbers alone. Even the highest scores do not guarantee admission. Pay close attention to presentation and qualitative aspects of your application even at schools you consider "safe."
Discuss your choices with your pre-law advisor and, if possible, visit law school campuses. Apply early to all the schools you choose.
The Boston College On-line Law School Locator
The rows on the table indicate the 25th percentile GPA
The columns on the table indicate the 25th percentile LSAT

LSAT Score
Use the advanced search option to focus your search by state, full-time or part-time programs, individual schools, or specific GPA or LSAT scores.
The LSAT and GPA medians used in the Locator are drawn from the ABA Standard 509 Information Reports in the Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools at LSAC.org and reflect admissions to full-time programs for Fall 2014.
The Boston College On-line Law School Locator 25-75 was developed by Dom DeLeo based on the Law School Locator compiled by J. Joseph Burns.

What's the Best Exercise for Your Age?
If your typical workout routine never changes, you're missing out. Here's what you should be doing at the gym, based on your goals and your age
Your fitness fix: Exercise -- Every. Single. Day.
We know what you're thinking: It's an impossible goal. But it's extremely important to work out regularly during this decade of your life. "Testosterone levels start to become erratic, and you'll lose muscle mass," explains Louann Brizendine, MD, hormone expert and author of "The Female Brain." The good news is that 30 minutes a day is enough to make a difference. Pagano suggests focusing on high-intensity exercises in intermittent bursts. "Think full-body movement," she says, "like interval training on a cardio machine or circuit training with at least four different exercises." By working out regularly, you can help keep your hormone levels in check and preserve -- or even build -- muscle.

I'm in my 20's and I think it's really important to vary your routine and only do things that you enjoy, then you're more likely to stick with it. Also changing up your routine confuses your body and you are less likely to get used to doing the same exercise over and over, then you hit a plateau and have to change your routine. Some days I do Zumba, walk my dog, cardio kick-boxing or a more intense strength training workout. Even if I'm super lazy I'll still fit in a short walk or yoga, once you get going you almost always want to continue. It's good to have a workout buddy, if you know someone is depending on you to show up, you're more likely to follow through. Also check your local parks and recreation. Often they have free classes. Mine offers free yoga and Zumba. They also have great hiking trails which are free, so no need to pay for a gym membership.

Wow, it's been a while!! Almost three months since I've blogged and let me tell you, it's been bittersweet. I've had a lot of time to relax and keep my thoughts and planning on the arrival of our baby, but we've suffered in the meal department. I've resorted to a lot of the same meals recycled over and over again. Convenience and ease in the kitchen has been by saving grace since I want to spend as little time in the kitchen and as much time on the sofa with my feet up as I can!
While it's been difficult to get myself motivated to cook anything new, I've been experimenting a lot with soups lately. My doctor has advised me not to eat cold cuts so an alternative to the turkey sandwich I've enjoyed for lunch over the last 5 years has been to eat homemade soups instead. I've been finding the more often I make soup, the easier it becomes and whipping something up on Sunday afternoon for the week is a piece of cake!
Speaking of cake... at 29 weeks pregnant my little guy growing inside of me is craving sweets, sweets, and more sweets! So it's only natural that I break out of my blogging rut just in time for my friend Kate's annual cookie swap! When I was trying to decide what to bring I searched the internet for inspiration. My cravings were officially at an all time high... after reviewing hundreds of mouthwatering recipes I came to the conclusion I needed chocolate and peppermint hershey kisses immediately.
That's how these Peppermint Hershey Kiss Brownie Bites came to fruition. I brought them to the cookie swap and they seemed to be a hit! So although I wasn't planning on blogging these and didn't take my usual step by step pictures, it was a recipe I decided was definitely worth sharing just in time for the holidays!
These Peppermint Hershey Kiss Brownie Bites are rich and moist with a subtle peppermint flavor. Made of a chewy chocolate brownie recipe and dipped in chocolate ganache, these bites are sure to satisfy your strongest chocolate cravings. The addition of peppermint hershey kisses add a great flavor and texture. You get a surprise of delicious peppermint white chocolate in every bite! Hope you enjoy making these fun and festive Peppermint Hershey Kiss Brownie Bites!
Recipe Tips
- I made the chocolate ganache sauce 3 separate times (1 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup cream, and 1 teaspoon instant coffee). This allowed me to work in smaller batches without the sauce hardening too quickly. If you have extra helpers in the kitchen you can try making the sauce all at once as long as you work quickly!
Peppermint Hershey Kiss Brownie Bites
Brownie Recipe Adapted from Brown Eyed Baker
Makes: about 40 brownie bites
Prep Time: 1 hour
Bake Time: 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
(Printable Recipe)
1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa
1½ teaspoons instant coffee granules
½ cup plus 2 Tablespoons boiling water
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
½ cup plus 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2½ cups (17½ ounces) sugar
1¾ cups (8¾ ounces) all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
1 package of peppermint hershey kisses, roughly chopped into 1/2 inch chunks
Chocolate Ganache
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
3 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1/2 package of peppermint hershey kisses, very finely chopped for sprinkling
Combine your cocoa powder, instant coffee, and boiling water into a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Immediately add the unsweetened chocolate and whisk until melted and incorporated into the mixture. Whisk in your melted butter and oil. Then add your eggs, yolks, and vanilla and continue to whisk until smooth and blended. Add your sugar and whisk until combined. Add the flour and salt and mix with a rubber spatula until smooth. Finish by adding your peppermint hershey kiss chunks to your batter and fold in with your spatula.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and very generously grease a mini muffin pan. Fill your mini muffin molds 3/4 full with batter, making sure to get a chunk of peppermint kiss in each scoop. Place your pan on the middle rack of your oven and bake for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once cooked through, remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes. Then remove from your pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Ganache
Create a double boiler by filling a medium sized pot with about 2 inches of water. Bring your water to a simmer. Meanwhile, combine your chocolate chips, cream, and instant coffee in a large heat proof mixing bowl. Once your water has reached a simmer, place your mixing bowl over the top of your pot and whisk your ingredients continuously until the chocolate chips have melted. Remove your bowl from the heat and continue to whisk for 30 seconds to ensure a nice smooth and shiny consistency.
Once your brownies have cooled completely and your ganache has been prepared, dip your brownie bite into the sauce. Make sure to coat it completely, then let the excess drip off. Transfer to a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Sprinkle the top with finely chopped peppermint hershey kisses. Repeat these steps with your remaining brownies until all have been completed. Transfer to the refrigerator to harden and serve when ready!
