Agility > all
All the time.
Should've checked the F.A.Q thread on this forum. ^^
Hello there. I recently switched to bm from survi and i've got some questions.
1. Should I always stack synapse engi buff with bestial wrath? I have hc AoC and i feel like this 20sec wasted on synapse can be dps lose.
2. If I'm using barrage on aoe encounter but there is only one enemy at the moment, should I kick barrage from my rotation or it is still dps gain?
1) Macro Synapse to everything, forcing it on BW is just losing usages.
2) It's still a DPS "gain", but if another target is coming up in like 7 seconds or so, you can save it.

great read - several things for me to note/tweak
Got a few friends saying haste to a point then all mastery for BM (unsure what that cap is), and I've read on forums that haste all the way, which one is more accurate (more inclined to go with what I've read on forums) but still open to views
Unless you are a troll with herbalism (lol), haste all the way. If you are, you can go to 16800 haste, then go mastery for a -slight- ST dps gain
Retired hunter
Hello there!
I'm 581 ilvl and I'm trying to improve my DPS in BM. I started playing again after a 4 months-break where I was playing survival. Nice guide btw.
Yesterday I compared me and another hunter in my guild (582), on Malkorok, and I realized that he was optimizing haste > mastery > crit. He had ~35k more DPS than me (him = 506k, I = 472k).
I've always thought crit > haste > mastery, crit above all. I didn't get why this guy was soooooo ahead of me, why I was doing so little arcane shots, less autoshots, less everything, and thus less DPS. 2 weeks ago I was 577 and thought it was because of my ilvl (lol). I was so confused. Yesterday I did more KC, the same amount of CoS, I never stopped autoattacking, so why I had less autoattacks? And I could not do more arcaneshots! So I was like, what the.. ? xD
When I took a look at his armory I understood haha (actually he has a Heroic warforged weapon, but it does not explain everything!).
So it is Haste above all? Even crit?
And another question, this guy does not reforge mastery into crit. Is he right? He has like 9'000~ mastery and 7'000~ crit.
Sometimes I read that there must be a balance between crit and mastery. Is it considered as "balanced"? Or do we have to put crit before mastery in all cases?
Thanks in advance!
(and sorry for the possible grammar mistakes-not my native language)
Last edited by Zalnn; 2014-08-04 at 12:10 PM.
Also, in crit build, missing KC has much more negative impact than haste build.
Haste > Mastery > Crit, check the F.A.Q thread for those kindsa things rly.
Oh, I didn't know about the ~40% haste! I will do so.
About the FAQ, I'm sorry I didnt check yours. I see indeed the "you should just continue stacking haste" for BM. I wasn't expecting such "details" for an FAQ, and only thought there would just be simple q/a about how to play hunter in general.. That's why I posted here. My bad! I will read it for sure.
Sorry again and thanks anjan011 for you explanations :)

Kindle SciFi Daily Deal for Sept 26, 2013: The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke: History Lesson for $1.99
In the title story of this collection, Earth has entered its final ice age—precipitated by the cooling of the sun. In this forbidding climate, a small tribe of nomadic human survivors travels toward the equator ahead of glaciers moving down from the North Pole, carrying with them a handful of relics from the 21st century—and racing against the ice to preserve them from annihilation.
This collection is a showcase of groundbreaking stories that wrestle with the moral, psychological, and ethical implications of scientific advancement—written by one of the foremost science fiction authors of our time.

Sweet! It has been a long time since I read a good collection of Science Fiction shorts. I have high expectations from the Grandmaster.
If you have a Kindle device and Prime, this is one of many books that can be borrowed free.
@webfoot: Thanks for the tip! I rarely use the Prime lending feature since I find it hard to find books I actually want to read in the lending list, but this one'll be great.

If we believe in the Trinity, in essense that the Holy Spirit is God, and we believe that God can not be in the presence of sin, then how can the Holy Spirit dwell within me a sinner?

If the Holy Spirit is God, and God can not be in the presence of sin, then how can the Holy Spirit dwell in me a sinner?
The idea that God cannot be in the presence of sin may come from the prayer in Habakkuk 1:13. In the NIV it says, "Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil."
The question, then, is, "Is this teaching the God is unable to look at evil?" If it is teaching that, then this would need to fit with the whole of Scripture.
Psalm 139 expressly states that God knows and sees everything that occurs, which would include evil. God also came to Adam and Eve after their sin. He visited Sodom to see the evil that was there. He observed the Israelites fashioning a golden calf and worshiping it. In Job, Satan comes into God's presence and has discussions with Him. Jesus, too, walked among us and certainly was in the presence of evil His whole life.
So, it seems clear that God does see evil and He does allow sin to come into His presence. Indeed, if all have sinned (and continue to do so), God must be able to be in the presence of sin to indwell those who have placed their trust in the redemption of Christ.
A key point here is that those who have trusted Christ are, according to the Scriptures, declared righteous in His sight--forgiven. The debt is fully paid. No charge can be entertained against us.
Now God's work of redemption will be fully complete when He fully removed that which He hates (sin) from that which He loves (His people).
In Job 1 Satan who is the father of sin goes into the presence of God and speaks to him directly. So to say that God can not be in the presence of sin is wrong. The main reason you are asking this question is because you are struggling with the idea that the trinity is real. lets look at Matthew 28:19
Now if the Holy Spirit is not one of the three persons of God then we would not be asked by Jesus Himself make disciples or baptize them in His name. He (the Holy Spirit) is clearly mentioned as a part of the three persons of God.
God can dwell in a sinner, provided that they have accepted Christ as their personal savior, for he removes us from our sin "As far as the east is from the west, so far He removed our transgressions from us" (Psalm 103:12) "He covers our sins, blots them out as a thick cloud" (Rom. 4:7; Isa. 43:25; 44:22).
The question makes sense. You mention the Trinity.
But let's understand the Trinity a little better. If you may, The Father is not the Son. The Son is not the Spirit. The Spirit is not the Father. Yet they are one. Our God. I emphasize our, because it is important to keep in mind who.
Our God (the Father) cannot be in the presence of sin, usually comes from Isaiah 59:2
This separation is kinda why The Son (our God) came to save us from sin in the first place.
Here we can see all 3 forms:
So the Holy Spirit can dwell inside Man (Acts 10:44). But not The Son nor The Father. Not all 3 forms dwelling in man like you proposed.
Sin is something our God, The Father wants to pass an eye over and address accordingly thru the Holy Spirit. Because He loves us. He came to save humanity.

Thank you for your interest in this question.

Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?


text:
Do, normally, only words which are eventually to be kept count, or do you also count rewrites? For example, if I rewrite a 50 word paragraph 10 times, is my daily count up to 50 or up to 500?
Why does it matter, if your word count is 50 or 500 after a rewrite? You should ask yourself, why do you want to count your words.
If you use the number to motivate yourself ("Look, I wrote 100 words. What a good day!"), then count the rewrites.
If you need the number to show someone your progress (like your publisher who pays you to finish the book), then he is probably not interested in the rewrite-count, but that's a thing you should clarify with your publisher.
If it is only for you. I would say, it does not really matter. Keep (re)writing. Every word, rewritten or not, takes you one step further to your main goal. I do not count my daily words. I only count all words of the finished novel, because I put that info into my cover letters/synopsis.
To answer to your question, I personally count only the initial revision.
The reason why: It's generally more productive to write without going back to edit, keeping all self-criticism held in until you're done with the session. Even better, wait a day or two before revising at all. You'll come at it fresh and be able to see problems you wouldn't have noticed right away.
Normally I base my word count on what's in the file when I finish my session. I don't count any minor tweaks or changes. If I spent the day rewriting a single paragraph I would end up only counting the final result.
On the other hand if I'm doing a big rewrite, like a full scene or a whole chapter I will usually count those changes. There's no hard and fast rule for this, but usually if I'm cutting out enough to save it's enough to be worth counting.
It all depends on your goal.
I don't think there's a hard-and-fast rule on this, it really is up to you and what you're trying to achieve by knowing the word count.

Less than a week into February, Bowling Green has already experienced its third bank robbery this year.
This morning's robbery at PBI Bank on Fairview Ave. follows a long string of bank robberies over the past seven months.
This unusual trend in bank robberies has many people asking questions, police searching for answers, and banks on alert.
"A man entered the bank and passed a note to the teller. Once the robbery was over, he left on foot, walking away behind the bank," said BGPD Officer Ronnie Ward.
That was at PBI Bank" on Fairview Ave. just after 8 a.m. Police say after the teller complied with the demands in the robbers note, he left the bank on foot, and walked into the neighborhood behind the bank.
Only one customer was inside the bank at the time, and police say the robber did not show a weapon.
This is surveillance footage of the crime, and police say the robber was a white male between 5'7" and 5'9" tall.
This is just one of eleven robberies in south central Kentucky since June of 2012, eight of those in Bowling Green.
Three men have been arrested in connection to three different robberies.
One of those arrests was 47 year-old Steven Harston of Bowling Green.
He was arrested in connection with the June 20 robbery at American Bank and Trust in Bowling Green. A BGPD press release notes that Harston is considered a strong suspect in multiple bank robberies in south central Kentucky and northern Tennessee. Harston's arrest put some area banks at ease.
"They've actually done a very effective job. Alot of times folks hear in the news there's been a robbery, but they don't think about all of the progress that's been made behind the scenes. They've actually been quite effective recently, and we're very indebted to their efforts," said US Bank Regional President Craig Browning.
Browning says his bank communicates with other banks about concerns and works with police on training bank staff to deal with robberies.
"We provide the training for them and work with them and tailor a training scenario to what they need and what their company and what their employees need," said Ward.
Police say today's PBI bank robber was wearing a black over-coat and sweater, a white collared shirt, and black knit hat with gloves.
Bowling Green police are also working with the FBI on many of the recent robberies, but they're looking for your help too.
If you think you may know anything regarding these bank robberies, or any other crime, call Crime Stoppers at 7-8-1 clue.

Queen, easily one of the greatest rock bands of all time, was fronted by legendary vocalist and iconic performer Freddie Mercury. The group formed out of London in 1970 and reached soaring fame with ubiquitous, larger-than-life songs "We Will Rock You," "We Are the Champions," "Bohemian Rhapsody" and many more. The group enjoyed eight gold and six platinum records before Mercury succumbed to AIDS in 1991—just one day after publicly acknowledging his struggle with the disease. Since his death, Mercury has become iconic in the gay community, and the band's surviving members and manager created the Mercury Phoenix Trust in his honor (an AIDS awareness and education fund).

Now, you have the chance to hear all the amazing hits from Queen live on tour! The English quartet will be whole again, with American Idol singer Adam Lambert taking over as front man!
Mercury's flamboyant on-stage theatrics, four-octave range vocals and skilled songwriting cause many to consider him one of the greatest singers and entertainers of all time, and Adam Lambert has already received warm media reviews and the full-backing of the band in his new endeavor. In fact, this won't be the first time the singer will be fronting the band, as Lambert previously took the stage with Queen at the iHeart Radio Music Concert and across a European tour. His experience and relationship with the band has fostered even more positivity, in addition to the fact that Lambert will be attracting much of the younger generation—just another way for Queen's influence to live on.

Always sad to see club legends move on or retire. It was impossible to convince him to stay on one more year?
Do your best to keep hold of Doria. He sounds special.
Exactly what is junior coaching? Does it affect the quality of the youths you get. Would think that was youth recruitment, but suppose that just means you have a wider net. Don't think the terms used are the best.
Lol, the merry-go-round doesnt stop, does it?
Never seen this...
Its happened to me a couple of times before - that and having to pay the guys wages at another club.
Ive seen it a few times on this seasons. The paying a guys wages at another club thing annoys the life out of me because it never happens when you're trying to sign a player.
Shame to see you relegated,hope you can bounce back even stronger.
Another takeover! That's insane.
Santarcangelo Calcio, Preseason/August 2023 Review
Well, after the major disappointment of last season, we needed to kick on and really try to bounce back. We had the pitch relayed, there was a 3,000+ expansion to the stadium and the youth facilites were being upgraded too. Sadly, club captain Sebastian Mladen retired after 383 games for the club, so I snapped him up for the backroom staff. We were given a £93k wage budget, a £11m transfer budget and a brief to make mid-table. I think I can do that...
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 0 Ascoli (TIM Coppa Italia Second Qualifying Round)
Way to hit the ground running! Raffaele Terracciano hit the opener, loan signing Davide Ranieri buried the second and Marius Lupo topped it all off.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 1 Padove (TIM Coppa Italia Third Qualifying Round)
Raffaele Terracciano again opened the scoring before Marius Lupo finished it off. The two who, last season, took 25 games to score and were sent out on loan respectively are on fire!
First off, veteran German midfielder Thomas Eisfeld came into the club on a free, along with ST Emanuele De Marchi and full backs Gaetano Maurizio Maione & Mirco Cappelli. I also loaned in ST Luisão from Fluminese and MC Davide Ranieri from AC Milan.
Leaving was ST Erik Gambella, after his misfire last season, he was off to £1.7m + 50% to ADO Den Haag. Portuguese midfielder Luca Schwartz was also sold off to Panathanikos for £1.4m + 50%. He was good, but I had enough Italian youth in that position. Finally, AML/ST Eduaordo Andresini was also co-owned by SS Lazio for £1.2m.
Commiserations about the relegation, I'm looking forward to seeing you bounce back this season though. Hope you can do it
Shame about your relegation but good luck next season
Santarcangelo Calcio, Preseason/August 2023 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 2 Torino (Lega Serie Bwin)
Our opening match back in Serie Bwin was a bit of a damp squib as it took Davide Petrucci's 65th minute goal to put us back on level terms, before a 87th minute hooked shot from a corner meleé consigned us to defeat..
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Hellas Verona (Lega Serie Bwin)
A Marius Lupo double saw us bounce back from a disappointing opener.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Padova (Lega Serie Bwin)
Arcangelo Lettieri popped up with a beautifully flighted chip in the second half to save our blushes.
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 0 Vicenza (Lega Serie Bwin)
Boom! Luisão netted a penalty to steady our nerves, then an own goal and a Raffaele Terracciano strike gave us the three points in style!.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Ascoli (Lega Serie Bwin)
Ascoli were down to 10 early on, but took the lead from a corner. We battered at the door all game, but couldn't find a way through until the 91st minute when Francesco Cortini slid home to bag us a point that we richly deserved.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 2 Reggina (Lega Serie Bwin)
Two shots, two goals down, three minutes on the clock. That was the situation we found ourselves in. However, a rocket at HT saw Luisão flick home a measured header to put us on the road back, then Raffaele Terracciano dispossessed the defender and fired home low across the keeper. Game on. We had one more chance late on, but Conversano's header went over.

Not the best start, but it's early and you have the quality to fight for promotion. Best of luck.
Anything other than an automatic promotion wont do! A bit of a faltering start, but your team should get it together soon!
If only you could get an award for hitting the f***** post...
Looks tough for a quick return.
Aw shame on relegation, but everybody has a setbacks!
That's a rough start. I meant to ask this a while back, but have you stuck with the catenaccio system the whole way?
Santarcangelo Calcio, October 2023 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 4 - 0 Grosseto (Lega Serie Bwin)
Club legend Sergio Corallo opened his account for the season with a double and goals from Francesco Cortini and Cristano Conversano settled the issue as we romped home.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 Como (Lega Serie Bwin)
Raffaele Terracciano continued his great form with the winner in this match.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 Empoli (Lega Serie Bwin)
Bad defeat, not at the races.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 2 AS Bari (Lega Serie Bwin)
The old problems rear their heads. Can't score, concede crap goals.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 1 Varese (Lega Serie Bwin)
Sergio Corallo was the hero early on with the opener. Then Davide Petrucci popped up on the edge of the area to fire home to put us back in the lead. for good.
Not a bad month but could have been a bit better.
Started and ended well, shame about the middle.
Santarcangelo Calcio, November 2023 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 0 Mantova (Lega Serie Bwin)
Raffaele Terrancciano's double took all the sting out of the game, rendering Fabio Aveni's late goal almost moot.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Nocerina (Lega Serie Bwin)
Raffaele Terracciano continued his fine form with the opener in this contest, however we conceded from a corner to stumble.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Bologna (Lega Serie Bwin)
Fabio Aveni scored the equaliser in a taut game where chances were at a premium.
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 0 Avellino (Lega Serie Bwin)
This game was over after 33 minutes. Two goals from Davide Petrucci were followed by a Cristiano Conversano header to put us 3-0 up by 25 mins! Then Stefano Guararini saw red for a two-footed tackle on 33 minutes and that was it.
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 1 Cesena (TIM Coppa Italia Fourth Qualifying Round)
We went one up after 10 minutes through Cristian Pinton. However, they equalised and then went down to 10 men. Sergio Corallo then scored twice in 4 mins as we went 3-1 by 76 mins and four minutes later, Cesena went down to 9 men, with a second yellow being shown to their midfielder.
Fairly good month, though I imagine you feel it could have been better.
Number 6....
There's your problem, you're getting your chairmen on short-term lease.
You play relatively quickly, last time I was here - which wasn't long ago - you were mid-way through a sensational TIM Cup semi-final against Milan, which you'd win. Too bad you then crashed out in the final extra-time, and the season in Serie A looked so promising initially... only to crumble in the very last couple of months.
I've been relegated twice in my whole life in FM. In neither occasion I kept my job. The first time they sacked me despite having won promotion the previous season, and supposedly not demanding me to stay up. The second time the club dropped out of the playable leagues. So I've never been in the position you are now, but you're surely looking good to bounce back straight away?
Keep Doria, he seems to be a class player. Have you posted a screenie of him recently? If not I'd like to take a look.
not a bad start to the season. time to kick on now and get back where you belong.
Unbeaten so far, could be a memorable season?
He'll be gone soon. No funds, obviously.
Bah, no positives from the takeover then. Why couldnt it have been a local businessman or tycoon
Probably a load of people who are laundering money through the club. Watch out for the feds!
Santarcangelo Calcio, December 2023 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 Sorrento (Lega Serie Bwin)
A decent draw against the then-second placed side.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 2 Crotone (Lega Serie Bwin)
*rolls eyes*.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Cittadella (Lega Serie Bwin)
The MC(AP-A) held the key here and first Davide Petrucci and then his replacement Davide Ranieri both netted to give us a win to right the ship.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 1 Piacenza (Lega Serie Bwin)
Raffaele Terracciano scored the opener and Sergio Corallo doubled our advantage midway through the second half. A late goal gave us jitters, but we made it.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Juve Stabia (Lega Serie Bwin)
A good win against a fellow promotion contender and a team that we came down with. Raffaele Terracciano hit a double to see us through..
We finished 2023 in 3rd place, two points from automatic promotion. It'd doesnt really show that we were actually 7th at the beginning of the month! I don't think we'll be buying this January, possibly add a loan or two.
3rd only 2 points behind means you have a great chance to get direct promotion again. It's all about consistency now.
There's consistency in the inconsistency. And the nightie.
Oh dear, oh dear about Crotone.
I was making some decent headway in my own career until I started reading this... 3 hours later I've got no further in my career but WOW. What a read, congratulations for all the brilliant work so far, and commiserations for the crashes, relegation and chairmen you've had. Good luck getting Santarcangelo back into Serie A and showing the world what Catenaccio's all about!
Santarcangelo Calcio, January 2024 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 1 Benevento (Lega Serie Bwin)
Sergio Corallo started the rout with a cool finish early on, an own-goal doubled the lead and, although they pulled it back to 2-1, Francesco Cortini drove home to give us the 3-1 win and put us two points from top spot...
Santarcangelo Calcio p0 - 0 S.S Lazio (TIM Coppa Italia First Round)
We were paired with the struggling Serie A TIM side and on current form, I liked our chances. The game was fairly dull, but came to life in the 88th minute when Marius Lupo headed straight at the prone keeper when he had a gaping open goal in front of him, then he proceded to take the ball round the keeper three minutes later, yet shot wide. The game went to extra time, where I made two subs in order to get in our best penalty takers. It paid off as we scored all of our penalties and Mirco Doria saved 3 out of 4 pens as we went through 3-1 on aggregate.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 Torino (Lega Serie Bwin)
Absolutely gutted. Marius Lupo saw a straight red for an elbow on 24 mins and we were up against it from there. we finally succumbed to an 80th minute finish and dropped down the table.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 1 Hellas Verona (Lega Serie Bwin)
Raffaele Terracciano scored the opener and for a while we looked like easy winners, but the ref was conned into a penalty on 78 mins and they netted an undeserved equaliser. .
Three loans came in during January, DR Luca Mazza returning to the club on loan from AS Roma, along with DRC Andrea Raia from FC Internazionale and AML/ST Mohammed Radhouani from Udinese. Finally, I gave a trial to a young English D/MC who'd just been released from Man Utd. I liked what I saw and signed up Larnell Fitzpatrick.
Leaving the club was MC Davide Petrucci for £1.2m to Grasshoppers Zurich. He was doing great for us, but I couldn't deny him a last crack at the Champions League. Also leaving was striker Fabio Aveni for £1.3m to P. Ferreira in Portugal. He was whining about no playing time and the time was right to dump him.
Santarcangelo Calcio, February 2024 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 Brescia (TIM Coppa Italia Quarter Final)
Sergio Corallo scored the all-important winner on 76 minutes, beating the defender and rifiling home.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 Padova (Lega Serie Bwin)
Same old, same old. We're now out of the playoff places.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Ascoli (Lega Serie Bwin)
YES! We snapped our bad run with a first goal for Mohammed Radhouani and a Cristian Pinton header.
Santarcangelo Calcio 3 - 2 Atalanta (TIM Coppa Italia Semi Final, First Leg)
Raffaele Terracciano's double put us in dreamland, but two goals, including a penalty brought us back to Earth. However, a late winner from Sergio Corallo puts us in a great position for the second leg.
Santarcangelo Calcio 4 - 0 Reggina (Lega Serie Bwin)
Marius Lupo scored twice on his return from suspension and added to goals from Luisão and Çağatay Topraktepe, we ran up a decent score.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Vicenza (Lega Serie Bwin)
Luisão scored two and we were comfortable winners, even if Luca Mazza saw red for a second booking.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 Grosseto (Lega Serie Bwin)
Luisão was shown a straight red for a two-footed tackle, but Çağatay Topraktepe scored the all-important winner to see us finish second this month.
Great month after Padova gave you a kick up the arse.
Gifted little playmaker there if you can get his first touch and technique up.
Santarcangelo Calcio, March 2024 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Como (Lega Serie Bwin)
Sergio Corallo opened the scoring and Francesco Cortini finished it off. A fantastic run of form at the minute.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Empoli (Lega Serie Bwin)
A timely win over a promotion contender. Cristiano Conversano headed us into the lead, before Marius Lupo made the game safe late on. That was our fifth clean sheet in a row.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 AS Bari (Lega Serie Bwin)
Raffaele Terracciano finished low into the corner on 8 minutes and we survived a battering to claim a priceless win.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 0 Atalanta (TIM Coppa Italia Semi Final, Second Leg)
We set up to play a very defensive game, even more so than usual, and we came away with the draw which put us into the Final again!.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Varese (Lega Serie Bwin)
A perfect month, no goals conceded, no points dropped. This was completed with a gentle 2-0 win over Varese. Luca Buldrini headed home to give us the lead and Raffaele Terracciano netted the winner late on. This put us 2 points clear with 10 games to go
Out of all your promising youth prospects, I liked the lowest rated one, Venezia, the most. Groppi's got some skills but his physical and technical abilities are worrying.
Biondi is also going to be a star, and Sessi definitely has the makings of a top flight GK
The two AMC's are good, but they'll suffer from not being tutored. And Biondi will be behind a number of DM's in my squad too..
Forgot to add this back in December, Sergio Corallo hits his 100th league goal for Santarcangelo. (He's now hit 122 in all competitions)
Santarcangelo Calcio, April 2024 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 Mantova (Lega Serie Bwin)
Marius Lupo continued our winning run.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Nocerina (Lega Serie Bwin)
A great win over a promotion contender. Raffaele Terracciano put us into the lead, before Luisão made the game safe late on.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Bologna (Lega Serie Bwin)
Sergio Corallo scored twice as we finished well in control.
Santarcangelo Calcio 4 - 1 Crotone (Lega Serie Bwin)
Again, a perfect month, no points dropped. We conceded our first goal in twelve games after just 50 seconds to go behind, however Çağatay Topraktepe bullied his way past the defence to head home the equaliser and we were stung into life. Sergio Corallo scored next and then proceded to set up Marius Lupo for his two goals to give us a fantastic win and put us 5 points clear with only six games left.
Why would you do this before a cup final?
TIM Coppa Italia Final
Stadio Olimpico
Dry, 16oC
Haha Doria, that little upset might bump up your reputation a bit. Next year should be fun Serie A, Euro Cup, and Italian Cup defense! Should have a few euro in the bank by now though. Good luck and well done
WOW! That's an amazing run in the Italian Cup. Big huge for winning your first proper trophy. Must feel like a million bucks now. Or a gatrilliziollion lire
(if they still had the stuff)
You look virtually ready for Seria A again too. Can't see you losing your way now, unless the players go off the boil after the cup victory. Could be tough to survive next season with a packed schedule though, unless you manage to improve the team enough to easily stave off the relegation ghost.
Like the look of Groppi and there is plenty of room for improvement, but it can be tough to get him up the the needed level physically. Will these kids get a decent look in or are your current players so much better now they'll end up in the reserves and out on loan before inevitably being sold?
Santarcangelo Calcio, May 2024 Review
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Sorrento (Lega Serie Bwin)
Midfield saved the day. Davide Ranieri scored the first and then Francesco Cortini settled the issue.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 Avelino (Lega Serie Bwin)
With the Final looming, I played the U-20's to give the guys a rest and they fought well before going down to a late goal.
Santarcangelo Calcio 1 - 0 AC Milan (TIM Coppa Italia Final)
Holy cow. HOLY COW. We were brilliant out there. Our defence held firm and Francesco Cortini broke free to slot home what was to be the winner and give me my first major trophy in my career!.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 1 Cittadella (Lega Serie Bwin)
Davide Ranieri put us in the lead and Marius Lupo hit the winner on 87 minutes. So much for a cup hangover last time.
Santarcangelo Calcio 4 - 2 Piacenza (Lega Serie Bwin)
We went 0-1 down early on and it fired us. Luisão scored twice, added to goals from Sergio Corallo and Davide Ranieri. After the game, we recieved these messages...
Santarcangelo Calcio 6 - 0 Juve Stabia (Lega Serie Bwin)
With the title won and the pressure off, we were free to run up our biggest win of the season. Marius Lupo hit a hat-trick and a first ever goal for Larnell Fitzpatrick, joined goals from Mohammed Radhouani and Davide Ranieri as we romped home.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 2 Benevento (Lega Serie Bwin)
Cristian Pinton and Sergio Corallo got our two goals in this one as we partied long and hard during and after the game.
So damn happy for you mate, what a victory in the Cup! Hopefully you can make remain competitive on all fronts and keep your core. Chain Doria to the goalposts if you have to, he's not going anywhere
Fantastic end to the season. Well done. "Now the hard work begins..." and so forth
Congrats on a very successful season,I bet AC Milan are really starting to hate you now
We finally have another full international on the books. After Sebastian Mladen got his two for Romania, Çağatay Topraktepe was picked for Belguim's EURO 2024 squad and appeared in every game as they went out 1-2 to England in the Second Round.
Great work on promotion mate .
What would you prefer? The next Dino Zoff or the next Gianluigi Buffon?
Yay, hope you can have a better shot this time.
Brilliant thread!!
Just read through all 14 pages and I think i'll start a save in the lower reaches of Italian football management and try and work my way to the top. keep up the brilliance!!!!
All together now....
"Hi, my name is (what?) My name is (who?) My name is..."
Absolutely brilliant!
That is unbelievable! SI throw up some real gems from time to time
You legend!
What a fantastic season! Let's hope you stay in Serie A now.
Fantastic stuff, well deserved.
Wow, what a read - five stars for that, the tactical 'experiment' and what you've achieved. I love these saves, as I'm not a merry job-hopper in FM. Amazing work!
Virtual kiss on Doria's lips there.
Give the man a new contract.
I hope that doesn't mean Jesus has sold his balls. That would be poor of him.
Ah, at least I got one thing right in my attempt at a humorous translation then.
Waiting for the blonde hair to appear. And he has the aggression, too
That's brilliant.
Santarcangelo Calcio, August 2024 Review
We had our pitch re-laid and work started on our new youth facilities in the off-season. Our brief was to avoid relegation with a £130k wage budget and a £9m transfer budget. I'm hoping for a better outcome this season than the last time we were in Serie A TIM.
Santarcangelo Calcio p0 - 0 FC Internazionale (TIM Supercoppa Italiana)
Inter came at us from minute one, pinning us in our own half for the entire first half of the game. 10 minutes into the second half, an Inter midfielder saw red for a two-footed tackle. We gradually came into the game more and late on in the second half, Inter went down to 9 men due to injury. They still threatened us badly during extra time and it came down to penalties. Mirco Doria saved the first penalty and we netted our first four. However, Stefano Guararini put the ball too close to the keeper and we went into sudden death. They missed the second one of these and Andrea Giovanni Maino rammed home the winning penalty to give us the cup.
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 FC Sion (UEFA Europa League Fourth Qualifying Round, Leg 1)
Our European adventure started at home to Swiss opposition. On 8 minutes, Amadeo Del Nevo burst through the middle and slipped in Francesco Cortini who rolled the ball into the far corner, via the post. The game was tight up for the longest time until an injured Sergio Corallo rounded the keeper on 84 minutes and slotted home into the gaping net to give us a fantastic opportunity to progress into the Group Stages
Santarcangelo Calcio 2 - 0 Sorrento (TIM Coppa Italia, Third Qualifying Round)
Loan signing Remo Cristiani scored twice as we coasted to an easy win.
Santarcangelo Calcio 0 - 1 FC Sion (UEFA Europa League Fourth Qualifying Round, Leg 2)
A tough away match in Switzerland was decided by a shot from distance that crept into the corner. However, the only goal in this game meant we'd still qualified for the Group Stages for the first time ever
Myself and the chairman were sat in Zürich, waiting for the outcome of the draw for the UEFA Europa League Group Stages. We were informed we would be appearing in Pot 3 and we eagerly awaited the draw. When the dust settled, it looked something like this.
The draw had been kind to us, but as a debutant in this level of competition we would still be lucky to finish 3rd in the group
I wanted to keep the club up without compromising our principles. Much the same as last time, but I know I have to spend a bit of cash here. So first in was Genoa reject ST Davide Cristiano. He'll add a bit of presence up front. Then came in highly-rated starlet DM/MC Lorenzo Paloschi for £500k from Avellino. This is to bolster our midfield in the future. Also one for the future, Polish starlet Janusz Grunt on a free. Returning to the club permanently after spending two recent seasons on loan here was MC Davide Ranieri for £500k from AC Milan. Also coming in on free's were AMC Matteo Colombi and DM Brent Gutierrez. Comically named ST Slim Saidi was picked up for £100k from Stade de Reims and finally, I was offered Italian ST Paolo Sarzi for £2.2m from PSG. His career had stagnated and I needed to upgrade up at ST. No-brainer. Finally AMRC Remo Cristiani and U-19 World Cup Best Player Jean-Pierre Orsini both joined on loan from Toulouse FC and FC Brussels respectively.
First out the door was perreninal underachiever ST Marius Lupo for £2m + 50% to AZ Alkmaar. Proof that the top scorer in a youth tournament can't always translate it to the big leagues. Also leaving was whining GK Matteo Visentini to Sampdoria for £1.5m + 50%. Look, you may be rated as the next Dino Zoff, but Doria is just better. Deal. MLC Mario Nosdeo made 69 appearances over 7 years at the club, but just wasn't good enough and was shipped out Nocerina for £550k. Finally, my other star striker Raffaele Terracciano was the subject of a £4m + clauses bid from Genoa. I managed to negotiate an extra £500k on him scoing 10 goals and a 50% sell on clause and BOOM, the deal was done.

Ha! Never seen this before! I was there to see Doria get his first cap actually....
Haha brilliant! Did Doria play?
Already scored his first goal too. Well done Doria!

CHESTER - This year's Fourth of July celebration in Chester is shaping up to be bigger than usual because of a confluence of local and state events.
July 4 festivities get under way at 9 a.m. with the 5K Freedom Run and conclude at 10 p.m. with a fireworks show. In between, there's a parade, live entertainment, a Duck Dash and much more.
"As far as I'm concerned, it's the premier event in the Northern Panhandle," said Dan Greathouse, director of the Top of West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau. "It's amazing the amount of work they do to put this on."
This year's Chester celebration is enhanced by the sesquicentennial celebration for the state of West Virginia. The state's 150th anniversary is June 20, also known as West Virginia Day. The theme for the Fourth of July parade is "Celebrating 150 Years of West Virginia Pride."
The July 4 celebration will be preceded and followed by events of local significance - the Chester Hall of Fame induction ceremony on July 3 and the Chester All-Class Reunion on July 5 and 6.
Chester Celebration Committee Chairman David Nurmi said last year's Fourth of July event brought 17,000 out-of-town visitors to Chester.
"It meant a great deal of income for the local merchants here," Nurmi said. "That's a lot of dollars coming into town."
Nurmi said the celebration has grown every year since its inception in 2007, when Chester celebrated its centennial. Last year's parade had more than 60 participating units, while a blocked-off Fourth Street held about 25 vendors, he said.
About 250 people participated in last year's 5K run.
To register for the 5K run, which starts at 9 a.m., call Lacey Cline at (304) 374-0542.
The Duck Dash takes place at 10 a.m. on Carolina Avenue. Ducks will be available for sale for $5 starting Monday in Chester City Council chambers.
They will be sold from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday and Wednesday and from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.
The duck race categories will be ages 0-4, 5-12, 13-adult, and seniors.
A Chester Lions Club car show, at Chester City Park, will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 4. More than 70 cars were entered last year, Nurmi said. To enter a car, call Steve Wilson at (304) 387-2178 or Pete Arner at (304) 387-1288.
Lineup for the parade begins at 3 p.m., and the parade departs at 4 p.m. Anyone wishing to enter the parade should contact Sandi Parkins at (304) 387-2820, ext. 7. Entry forms will be mailed to all previous participants, who are asked to pick up their entry number July 4 at the registration table at the corner of Third Street and Virginia Avenue.
Entertainment at Chester City Park will feature the Clarks and the Joseph Sisters from 7 to 9:30 p.m.
The entertainment and the fireworks show are jointly sponsored by Chester American Legion Post 121, Chester VFW Post 6450 and the Chester Volunteer Fire Department, Nurmi said.
Interested vendors should contact David Nurmi at (304) 479-3581 or Marsha Nurmi at (304) 479-7397.
The hall of fame induction ceremony is scheduled for 6 p.m. July 3 at First Christian Church, 330 Indiana Ave. It is free and open to the public.
The All-Class Reunion, which is held every three years, will have an informal get-together at 6 p.m. July 5 at the Chester VFW. The dinner is scheduled for 6 p.m. July 6 at East Liverpool American Legion Post 374, 1824 Park Way.

The First Order of Business for Pope Francis and his Kitchen Cabinet
Long before Pope Francis selected Boston Cardinal Seán O'Malley as the only North American to serve in the pontiff's "kitchen cabinet", O'Malley was a prolific blogger.
Most of the posts on O'Malley's personal blog are reports on his public ministry: visiting parishes, ordaining deacons, meeting with religious orders and diocesan priests about their work in the archdiocese, etc. But in one post this week, there's a hint of what may come from the cabinet's first meeting with Francis on Oct. 1 - 3:
This is an ongoing process and the Holy Father is seeking input from throughout the worldwide Church. One meeting is not going to change everything in the Church, but it will be a start. Certainly, the first order of business will be trying to see what could make the Curia more effective in the service of the Holy Father and the dioceses around the world.

If "the first order of business [is to try] to see what could make the Curia more effective," then the kitchen cabinet would have to assess the ways in which the Curia is not effective, or not optimally effective, and then undertake a systems analysis of the organizational structure of the Curia. However, even if each member of the kitchen cabinet surveys bishops and dioceses in his geographic region before the meeting, I would not expect much to come from the first meeting.
What a lame and disapppointing glimpse of the group of eight's agenda.
A leaner, meaner curia is what we want --- NOT.
Where has Synodality gone?
I have to stipulate that I'm not a Sean O'Malley fan. I knew him from his days as a Washington auxiliary bishop: desperately upwardly mobile then all the while playing the simple, poor Franciscan motiff to the hilt. I recall that he obviously enjoyed being called "Padre Sean" by his adoring sycophants. I suppose I should give him the benefit of the doubt, and say that maybe he has grown and matured.
Nah! O'Malley's still an ambitious politician to the core.
If O'Malley is typical of the other members of the papal commission, I can't really get too excited. Reforming the curia - apparently the major charge of the papal kitchen cabinet - is akin to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titantic.
We'll know how serious Papa Francesco is about reform and renewal of the priesthood from parish to pope when he starts asking The People to lead that charge up Vatican hill.
A slight correction: Cardinal O'Malley during his years in D.C. was not a bishop.
This week's meeting has been touted for months as Francis's ground-breaking initiative for change and reform. If it turns out to be a deckchair-arranging exercise, it will greatly damage the credibility of his pontificate.
@ John Page: Excuse me, my memory failed me: O'Malley was just the episcopal vicar for Portugese, Hispanics and Haitians when he was in DC, and not a bishop, at least yet.
The point is Page: O'Malley always lusted after cassocks with red piping despite the Capuchin costuming.

Ansonia football legend Jack Hunt dies
The Ansonia High football team had just completed another undefeated regular season with a convincing victory over Naugatuck in the grandest of all the state's traditional Thanksgiving Day rivalries, but there was a solemn silence among the players in the Chargers' locker room.
Coach Tom Brockett commanded their full attention during a postgame speech that had very little to do with the team's crisp execution or offensive brilliance. And any excitement over next week's state playoffs was muted, because it just wasn't a time to celebrate. Brockett needed instead to pay tribute to a legend.
Longtime Ansonia football coach Jack Hunt died at age 67 Thursday morning after a six-month battle with esophageal cancer.
Even though the majority of the players on this year's Chargers team only knew Hunt by reputation, Brockett reminded them how fortunate they were to be part of an Ansonia football family that was built on a foundation of great men like Hunt.
Hunt posted a remarkable 193-26 record in his 19 years as the Chargers head coach that included seven state championships. Prior to that he was an assistant coach for 14 seasons, during which Ansonia won another six state titles. A 1965 graduate of Ansonia High, Hunt was good enough as a two-way tackle to earn a scholarship to play Division I football at Witchita State.
Brockett and his assistant coaches reminded their players that they owe a debt of gratitude to Hunt.
"When Jack took over this program in 1987, it was at its lowest ebb," said John Sponheimer, who became an assistant with Hunt in 1972. "We were coming off a 5-6 season, and people really believed that Ansonia football was over. We had had a great run in the late 70s through the early 80s, but even as great as our run was, we had lost four of the last six games to Naugatuck. There was no game that was more important to Jack than Thanksgiving."
Hunt restored order to the Thanksgiving rivalry by beating Naugatuck 17 of the 19 times he coached against them.
Bob Lisi, who coached with Hunt 30 for years, said the entire coaching staff drove to Thursday's game with heavy hearts. Lisi cried the whole way there.
"It was really difficult," Lisi said. "We got to spend some time with Jack last night, and that was very special. We told him that we loved him and that he should go in peace, because no one deserves to suffer like he did."
Brockett told the players that there was no shame in ever saying "I love you," to another person, be it a close friend, mentor or family member. He also encouraged them not to be embarrassed about saying a prayer at their Thanksgiving dinners for Hunt and his family.
Football is a brutal, physical game played by tough guys. Very few in the state were ever more imposing than Hunt, but he had a soft, caring compassionate side to him that will leave a lasting impression on so many.
"Jack was a physical giant," Lisi said. "He was so imposing physically, but the way he impacted the lives of young people is second to none."
Prior to Thursday's game, Ansonia paid tribute to the 25th anniversary of the 1987 state championship team. One of the players honored brought a game ball given to him during that season and asked that the coaching staff give the ball to the Hunt family.
Brockett also asked assistant coach Kevin Rowley, whose sister Denise married Hunt, to take along the Pop Shortell/Marty Lucas trophy that each year stays in possession of the Thanksgiving Day winner. Rowley was very touched by the gestures. He wanted Denise and their children John, Joseph, Jeffrey and Lori to understand how beloved their father was.
"There will be a lot of tears wherever the Hunt family meets later today," Rowley said. "I'll present the ball and the trophy to my sister and (Hunt's daughter) Lori, and I'm sure they will be touched."
While there never seems to be a fitting time for a legend to die, if Hunt had to go it seems only appropriate that he passed on the most meaningful day of the year for Ansonia football, a day in which football has become a tradition unlike it has anywhere else in the state.
It was a day when the Ansonia family could mourn together and heal together at the same time.
"Today is a terrible, bittersweet Thanksgiving," Rowley said. "But this program means everything, and I couldn't be any place but here today. This is the only place that could make me feel better, with these coaches and these players."

" Jack grew up on my street - he was 12 years older than I. He became the truant officer for Ansonia High and I did my part in keeping him busy, him having to scoop me up at various haunts like Sam's Pool Hall, Vonetes, and Muzzy's Confectionary. We had some good laughs over those run-ins. Jack was a really terrific guy. What he did for Ansonia football was pure magic. I ran into him just weeks ago while in the waiting room at my primary care doctors office - apparently we saw the same guy. Again, we had some laughs while remeniscing over days long passed. He never mentioned a word about why he was there. RIP Jack; you left a fine legacy. "

I'm trying to do something with ${eval} in Conky, but I'm having problems even with a minimal example:
${eval ${exec echo '${font DejaVu Sans Mono :size=6}hey!'}}
As far as I understand, I would believe that I should see the string "hey!" printed with the 'DejaVu Sans Mono' font, but instead I'm getting this as output:
${font DejaVu Sans Mono :size=6}hey!
I want to be able to execute something as I would in the terminal, and then parse that as a Conky statement. Isn't the whole idea of $eval to parse that string again? If so, am I doing something wrong, am I misunderstanding how it works, or is that a bug in $eval?

How much is QuantLib used in industry and how much street cred does it have?
It's a very good and useful question. And it is bloody hard to answer just like many other questions relating to the proprietary nature of how banks and funds implement their core technology. A better route may be to ask on the QL lists, and/or to inquire as to who actually attented the first Quantlib forum in London last month. Another route would be to see who StatPro lists as clients.
I have been near QL for a long time based on my RQuantLib bindings to GNU R. That obviously covers only a subset of users (those who like R) as well as functionality but I can assure you that I have been in contact with a number of places about it.
Which makes perfect sense: this is open source code, so you can always bring it in to at least provide a benchmark or reference implementation.
Based on anecdata (conversations with other quants), not much. Banks develop their own models and if they do outsource the effort, they pay someone for the code + support (there are companies like Numerix or Pricing Partners which do that). QuantLib is criticized for being poorly documented and convoluted.
My own observation is that the parts of QuantLib I was interested in (LMM) weren't particularly advanced, so if I were to make a call, I would see no point to make an effort to integrate this code with the rest of my bank's systems.
I've never heard of it, but I've only been in the industry 2.5 years. Our C++ guys haven't even mentioned it either. They prefer using PACK/LAPACK which is mostly rooted in academia & heavily debugged. We also make heavy use of the IMSL FORTRAN libraries for hardcore statistical computation and Extreme Optimization (for .NET).
One of our other researches has reported some interest in the Intel Math Kernel library, but that faded once they saw the price tag.
To echo what @quant_dev said, we much prefer to build our own models.
Same feedback as quant_dev.
A few quants are related to Premia but again, not directly used in production. That's more a research consortium and the latest version is not disclosed publicly (but you can pay for it if you want)

it is really beautiful :)
Are Swamps and Marshes same things?
Many times the wait makes all the difference in a great moment..
your wait ,patience and work payed off
lots or eye and skill in this photo
I really appreciate the subtle way the atmosphere is conveyed.
Beautilful and haunting. Love it.
I needed a shot from home to boost my spirits today!! thank you.
it is nice
the frost adds so much, it looks alot like the work 19 century landscape painter.
Amazing! The beauty of winter :)
It's a good perspective scenery !!!
Beautiful scene! So glad to see my state represented so well :)
As a high school student interested in photography, National Geographic is always inspirational!
For those interested my work can be found here: http://maireadkahn.wordpress.com/
So pretty when the sun glints off the frost or off the snow, magical. Looks like a Christmas card. Fascinating photograph! I couldn't help but wonder what creatures were still sleeping in this isolated place.
nice :)
nice :)
What an amazing picture. In the foreground the frost cover looking more than than beautiful. But the eye must go to the far distant, as mine did to get the feeling 'of miles to go' many miles to go. Superb photography as always, so thank you. j.e.s.
Beautiful !!!
Such scenes are to live for...
The beauty of winter!
where in Wisconsin is this?
nice transition of color from white to brown
nice...stillness and u can see it´s freezing
@hubert van rijsingen Snide remarks will never get you what you want. Wisconsin abounds with natural beauty, and it just so happens that Adam was chosen for best capturing this beauty. Let's see an example of your natural beauty... Sounds like your ability to share in the joy of other people's beauty is mediocre at best.
i just agree with William Hollyoak!
Just love every thing about this shot.
good idea for paint , good shot

Is there a way in Illustrator to know the exact dimension of shape in pixel and possibly to resize it down to different (but precise) dimension?
Follow the advice in Joonas' answer, but also keep in mind that the pixel dimensions that show up in the control bar will only be accurate when you export at a resolution of 72 ppi. Except when you have a raster image in your Illustrator layout, pixels don't actually exist. What you see on screen is an on-the-fly rendering of the vector art, based on the resolution of your monitor. Those "pixel dimensions" Illustrator gives you are based on its fixed and definite idea that 1 pixel = 1 point. If you export a "500 pixel" wide object at a setting of 300 ppi, the jpeg or png will be over 2,000 pixels wide.
I've not tested how this effects alignment to the pixel grid, but I'm not optimistic that it would necessarily be retained on export at anything other than 72 ppi. Scott may know the answer to that one.

The 6 Strangest Ways Anyone Was Ever Mistaken for a God
History has no shortage of cult leaders and dictators who have claimed to be gods, either as part of a delusion or as a power grab. Other people, however, have found out that through no fault of your own, you can be revered as some religion's immortal deity. All you need is to be in the right place at the right time. Like ...
#6. Capt. James Cook
When the sails and masts of the famed British explorer Capt. James Cook's ships were first spotted off Hawaii in 1778, one islander described them as "trees moving about on the sea." When Cook eventually checked out the islands himself on Jan. 16, 1779, he was greeted by thousands of Hawaiians in canoes, presenting lavish prizes.
Mainly surfboards.
They weren't just being generous hosts; it turns out that those sails and masts on Cook's ships looked virtually identical to contemporaneous imagery of the Hawaiian god Lono.
This is Lono. Guess what he is god of?
Lono is a sex god, and his job is to cruise around on a rainbow and sprinkle the world with ... you don't want to know. By arriving not only on a vessel that looked just like Lono, but also on the same day as his annual festival "Lonomania," Cook presumably responded with the loudest "Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid!" this side of Caddyshack.
Thus the captain, tempted by the perks of being a penis-king, decided to go along with the charade by allowing himself to be smeared with pig fat, and then showing off some fireworks he happened to have in his boat.
Capt. Cook ... the world's first Texan?
Unfortunately for Cook, the Hawaiians were pretty pissed when he paid them a second visit, and not just because of the mounting list of paternity suits awaiting him. Cook's fleet had suffered a heavy battering during a wild storm, and the Hawaiian natives were deeply offended that Cook's ships had returned in such poor condition. Instead of pig fat and flower necklaces, the natives were waiting for him with clubs and daggers.
The instant Capt. Cook realized that his fertility feast-days were over.
Cook tried to explain that it was due to the shitty weather he had recently experienced on his rainbow, but the islanders wouldn't have it. Cook was "clubbed, repeatedly knifed, half-drowned and battered about the head with a rock," at which point we imagine the islanders realized that the man was not a god after all. The fraud was subsequently scarified, torn to pieces, eaten and whatever they didn't finish was made into trophies. The lesson? It is entirely possible to pretend to be a god, but just politely leave after your festival is over. It's not the sort of thing you can keep up forever.

#5. World War II Military Equipment
If this isn't the strangest story to come out of World War II, we'd like to hear the one that beats it.
World War II had the unintended consequence of bringing the world together more quickly and efficiently than the Internet ever could. As nations vied for control of the globe, thousands of young servicemen found themselves trudging through remote parts of the world that, until now, hadn't seen so much as a Coke can, let alone a bazooka.
"Holy shit -- dragons!"
For the isolated tribes of Micronesia, this was something akin to if we found out tomorrow that our solar system is a booming interstellar trade hub for some galactic empire we just hadn't spotted until now. The best explanation at the time was that these pale-skinned interlopers were supernatural beings.
The result was what were known as cargo cults -- new religions that sprang up among the natives to worship these strange beings and the mystical artifacts they left behind (shell casings, spark plugs, cigarette butts, etc.).
The thing is, the cults weren't some temporary craze that died out after the war ended -- for decades, tribes would build crude imitations of things such as landing strips and airplanes, hoping to persuade their "gods" to return and resume dumping their strange gifts all over the villages.
Perhaps the most notable cargo cult is the so-called John Frum movement, named after an unknown U.S. serviceman who may have introduced himself as "John from America." Not only did his encounter with the inhabitants of Tanna Island in Vanuatu eventually result in a religion that recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, but "John Frum" still enjoys his own holiday, complete with parades, makeshift Army uniforms and a U.S. flag probably made of bark.
On the lighter side, followers of a separate cult on Vanuatu more recently adopted Queen Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Philip, as their lord and master once word reached them that he matched their long-lost deity's description as "white guy married to a rich lady."
Still beats Scientology.
#4. Haile Selassie I
In 1930, Haile Selassie I, also known as Ras Tafari Makonnen, came to the throne as King of Ethiopia. He was pretty popular at home, but little could he have known that he was about to become much, much more popular on a far-away island called Jamaica, where a revered orator named Marcus Garvey had just off-handedly prophesied that a black king in Africa would literally be Jesus. (Yes, the famous one.)
This whole messianic mix-up occurred when Time magazine ran a cover story on "His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah and Elect of God." A bunch of Garvey's followers put two and two together and got ... well, we're not sure exactly.
A black king in Africa isn't the biggest stretch as far as prophecies go, so it's really just a matter of good timing that awarded Selassie the title of God-incarnate, and determined that Marcus Garvey was the reincarnation of John the Baptist in the eyes of thousands of people who started calling themselves Rastafarians. The fact that Selassie was really an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian and a mortal didn't seem to make a dent on the Rastafarian community.
Furthermore, pictures like these with Aslan were not helping.
But since Selassie did not want to disrespect his adoring crowd -- yeah, that's the reason -- he decided to just go along with the whole thing. He even visited Jamaica in 1966, finding himself swamped at the airport by fanatic Rastafarians, smooth reggae beats and what has been described as "a haze of ganja smoke." The day was made into a holiday.
Of course, things hit a sour note on Aug. 27, 1975, when Selassie's death shocked the world ... except for the Rastafarians. They had a backup theory to explain this inevitability, maintaining to this very day that his death was a hoax and that he will stop playing around and return one day to unite the world.
One explanation.
