Could go on for years, but I like jods suggestion.
Sorry, I meant Alan. My memory is awful, and it was at least a minute between seeing the footballmanagerwiki recommendation and my post
Who knows, maybe some people nominated jod mistaking him for me in the member of the quarter thread
Yeah be my guest - use that wiki package that I have uploaded there. Any problems let me know.
I'll sort you out a domain name too tomorrow if you like it after getting the feel for it
Cheers JJay, MediaWiki is a massive improvement
Not a problem - I know how difficult it is to get started up so its nice to see people working hard to get it moving forward (and some familiar names ).
I'm just unbridging the mediawiki version uploaded there so that people can register shortly if you want to start up usernames too
Edit/Delete what you need to in that wiki - and if anybody needs anything else I'm always contactable here on PM.
Does that mean I don't own it anymore?
I believe so peter, unlucky
Oh man, now I don't get the plaudits
Can sometime enlighten me on the current development of this wiki? I just came back from school.
Now to see JJay's involvement, I personally think he's a great teammate.
Unlucky peter
I also am slightly lost to what is happening now.
I have articles to post but where should I put them?
Put the links on the front page and in the right place. If/when we move, we will transfer all the files.
Peter - I've set up http://www.fmliveonline.com/fmwiki/i...itle=Main_Page for you which is blank.
If you are happy with that then let me know and I'll sort out your admin account.
Has anybody got a domain yet or do you want me to sort that out for you too? Footballmanagerwiki.com was taken too (which I saw suggested earlier).
I can get fmwiki.org.uk or footballmanagerwiki.co.uk
Prefer footballmanagerwiki.co.uk myself.
me too small Mac. If you wouldn't mind, could you set us up an admin account. If you did that could I then get my team of old admins back?
You'll be able to do whatever you need to do within the wiki (i.e. set admin/mods).
I'm just trying to speed the process up whilst I'm waiting on things to move some of your articles across there (the content is more important than layout right now) - it's not too painstaking either. I'll sort out the domain now.
Cheers mate, you are a legend.
Thanks BATracer teammate.
Remember, at the end of the day the plus side with the wiki is that it is created by the community and belongs to the community I don't claim any ownership over it at all Like I said earlier too, I pushed so bloody hard for a FML wiki and I appreciate how hard it is to get it rolling in the first place. It's great to see so many interested people for a FM wiki over the space of just a couple of days!
The domain has been sorted out and should be pointing towards the Wiki tomorrow for you
Thanks mate, what time are we looking at?
Thank you JJay.
I'm on an early shift 0700 x 1600 tomorrow - but I'll try and ensure its done sometime during that if I can If not, when I get home a whole 5 minutes afterwards or similar hehe.
You can still edit the wiki as linked above (http://www.fmliveonline.com/fmwiki/). Sign up an account now Peter and I'll set your privs
I'll start filling in the missing articles now then.
The domain already points now for quick access
And Peter - your rights have been set. For reference, to set others you can go to the Special Pages link on the bottom left and go to User Rights Management to set your Mods/Admin (sysops/bureaucrat)
Peter can do that for them as I don't know who they are. Are you one? I can set that if you are.
Anything else before I head to bed tonight?
Edit: Found the list of them You are, and I'll set you up now
Great work people, especially JJay, looks like this project has alot of potential!
Cheers JJay
I've transferred over a lot of the pages, the don't look the same though. Will try to improve the appearance of some now.
Some already great content on there already which is promising I best get some sleep and I'll help progress things tomorrow
If someone could make all the groups eg Premier League clubs I would be happy to copy all of the club ones onto FMWiki.
EDIT: I'm making them now, making titles seems quite easy. Now for making a new page...
EDIT AGAIN: I've made the league sections, but don't know how to add a new page e.g. a Arsenal page.

A lot of work seems to have being done when I was out. Glad to see it up and running again. Brilliant work JJay.
Subscribe Jod and I will admin you again
Peter, do you know how to add a new page to it?
No actually, I don't
Have all the articles been transferred over now?
I've subscribed.
One way to create a new page is to put the name of it in the search bar and click on go.
Then if there is not already a page you get an option to create it.
Under jod123?
It's either jod123 or jod12312 I think.
You are admin now Jod
How do you add images with this software?
You're welcome, all this new tech stuff is a bit overwhelming :o
From that it looks like only JJay will be able to change the settings for it.How do I enable uploading?
File uploads are an often-used feature of MediaWiki, but are disabled by default in all current release versions. To enable them, first make the upload directory (default images) writable by the web server (chmod 777 or allow the Apache user to write to it, etc.) then set $wgEnableUploads to true in LocalSettings.php (i.e. "$wgEnableUploads = true;"). See Manual:Configuring file uploads for more information.
Another good thing with this is we can change the skin from the few that are available to suit our individual tastes rather than one that we all want.
Yeah, the first thing I did was try other skins. The original is easily the best.
What do people think of the Arsenal [and now Chelsea] page? Is it alright? If so I will do more tonight.
Also, are we going to get a proper badge? The FM background looks alright, but I think it would be great if we could make our own badge for it/
We definately need our own badge. I'm sick of the FM09 one. Hopefully Neji will give us a hand, he is the master after all
I'll request a badge on Neji's site then - what type of badge are we looking for?
I'd prefer if we had our own unique badge tbh. But if we can't get one, then I'd have no problem using the SI logo if we had permission.
Arsenal page looks good Jammy, lots of detail in it
The link works fine fwiw.
I say it is just a badge with peter-evo underneath
Neji is a photoshop man so he may be able to do us good.
The layout looks fine imo, as does the disclaimer
That's the link to the Chelsea page, apaprently:confused:
That is a link to the main page for me anyway.
I see we have a new user registered - SnootyJim. From here?
I haven't become a member of it yet, I don't think. Can someone add me please?
Wigan is done.
I got http://www.fmliveonline.com/fmwiki/i...?title=Chelsea
Anyway, yeah SnootyJim is welcome. Glad to have him on board.
I would if I knew how How do you add people, just for future reference?
Ok, I registered on the new site, and transferring the MLS stuff right now.
Just one quick question. How do I insert a table?
In reference to the Club Reputation article does anyone know how to align text properly?
I want to make the figures line up properly to make it neater.

You obviously replace the row and column text with what you want in that particular cell.
And you can add in more rows and columns by following the layout.
This page will be of help to anyone who wants to use tables.
Made myself an account and made a few changes.
EDIT: Apparently I've already been spotted
I added some tables on the Club Reputation and CA/PA pages to make them a bit neater.
Infact this whole guide will be useful to find how you do things on the wiki.
Last edited by jod123; 20-02-2009 at 01:37.
Oh and I said earlier that you have to upload the images to use them. You actually don't. We still can't link them externally yet though as JJay has to enable that as well if we want it.
We're not quite as big as Wikipedia to be honest
The more people joining the better it will be for the Wiki, so its good to see new people contributing
I've finished Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United(which took A LOT of work) and Wigan.
Seeing as the new Wiki has been made by all of us, should we change the introduction a bit?
At the moment it says
I think the second sentence needs changing a little, to give us all a little credit instead of just peter. Who fully deserves the credit, fwiw, for creating the first one.This Football Manager Wiki has been set up to give fans of the multi-platform management game a chance to learn things about the game, and find out all they need to know to run a succesful team.
The set-up was also largely to do with a request at the SI Forums in a thread by CaptainPlanet. We saw that the majority wanted a wiki page set up and I thought I would take it upon myself to create one.
I hope that the users who decide to create articles here will do so with utmost maturity, and will post only in subjects of which they have knowledge of.
I thought I would keep it short and sweet and let you read on about the more important things: Football Manager.
I agree, but I think to be honest the whole front page / introduction could probably do with gutting.
Eventually it would be nice to see a structured page with various panels like you would for a typical gamewiki, and all of that type of information from above could be moved into its own 'About Wiki' page or similar.
Hence, maybe it's better to leave it for now, and wait until there's something more substantial in the way of pages whose links can then be used to populate the main page?

Riders' group ready to serve
Every week, I see funeral notices, in the Republican-American and other newspapers, for men and women who served in one of the armed forces. I wanted to make sure the families are aware of one of the services available to them.
The Patriot Guard Riders exist to pay our final respects for veterans' service to our country. We typically do this by standing flag lines at the funeral home, church or cemetery. We also can provide an escort with multiple motorcycles flying large American flags. We can provide this service for veterans of all branches of the military.

I'm developing an iOS application that will use offline maps. These maps are on GeoTiff format but I don't know how to do it.
I've found this question: How to display a GeoTIFF on mapView but it uses ARCGis and I don't have a license to use it.
Is there any other way to show a GeoTiff? And, of course, use GPS to show where user is.

Assume polarised light travels through an optically active medium (e.g. water with lots of sugar) with the specific angle $\alpha_s$ of depth $d$ at which end it is reflected (so in total it travels $2d$).
Will the light at the end where it initially entered the material be polarised with a relative angle of $\alpha_sd + (-\alpha_s)d = 0$ or with $\alpha_sd + \alpha_sd = 2\alpha_sd$?
I believe it is the first, because the rotation is reversed by the medium, but is that actually correct?

COLLEGE STATION (February 22, 2013)—About 100 people were evacuated Friday morning from the Clayton Williams Alumni Center at Texas A&M University because of a bomb threat.
Authorities were notified of the threat just before 9:30 a.m. Friday and a campus-wide "Code Maroon" alert was issued.
Students and staff were advised to avoid the area.
The building was searched and the alert was lifted just after 11 a.m. Friday.
It was the second campus bomb threat this week.
Former A&M employee Michael Francis Thomas, 43, was later arrested and charged with terroristic threat in connection with the threat, KBTX-TV in Bryan reported.
He was in the Brazos County Jail Tuesday evening.
Authorities are investigating whether the threat on Friday and the threat earlier in the week are linked.
On Wednesday in response to a bomb threat, Texas A&M officials issued a safety alert and closed Kyle Field and nearby buildings, evacuating about 700 people.
The threat was written on the wall of a nonacademic campus facility, officials said.

Recently I was told by my doctor that I have a fully torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and I've been told to stay away from karate (specifically Shorinji-Ryu Karate-Do Renshinkan) for the time being and that as of right now I'm not a good canidate for sugury for various reasons.
I have been contimplating where I was going with regards to Renshinkan for awhile now as it does require some fairly low stances and I'm signficantly taller than the average and the doctor thinks the low stances might have been putting too much stress on my knee as I ulimiately fully tore it while going to throw washi giri (round kick) during kumite after having had it paritally torn two years ago.
For now the doctor is taking a very conservitive treatment approch as I have extremely good knee stability (ran a 5k on it recently) but I was wondering what my options are with regards to martial arts that don't put a lot of pressure on the knees. I have been told that kendo might be an option and I've always had an interest in it, but I'm wondering if there are other options that I should take a look at.

I've been using the music service Rhapsody for over a month now, and I really like it on my iPhone. Unfortunately, I spend most of my time in front of my computer, programming. I'm kind of so-so on the web client for Rhapsody, and I particularly would like to be able to download songs to my Mac. I don't have access to a (legally obtainable) copy of any version of Windows, so VirtualBox/Parallels/etc. is out. Wine doesn't really work with the Windows Rhapsody client. Has anyone else encountered and/or solved this problem? Switching from Rhapsody to some other service isn't really an option either, since so far, at least, no other "all-you-can-eat" music service has an iPhone app with downloading allowed.
Spotify has all that, but I'm not sure if you can use it in your country. Have you tried it?
UPDATE I found out that you're in the USA, and Spotify only works in a few European Countries… unless you're a "Premium" user; the catch is that you need to create your account from within Europe. I.e.: if you are european and want to travel, you can "take your music with you"… if you're not a free user. Otherwise you can only use Spotify for 14 days until you return to your country. sorry about that.
What about Napster? They have an iPhone and a web client and their pay scheme and service is similar to Rhapsody:

Beginning Wednesday, September 17, Dia:Chelsea presents Prototype, a new work by Jorge Pardo that will be installed in Dia's first-floor gallery in multiple phases. Dia recently commissioned this large-scale plywood structure, which is designed to be adaptable for a variety of functions. While it was created in the artist's Los Angeles studio, this kit is intended to be assembled on-site. Dia's first-floor gallery was redesigned by the artist, along with Dia's bookshop and lobby, in 2000 for his exhibition "Project." Prototype will be on view through Sunday, January 11, 2004. Exhibition hours for the 2003-04 season are Wednesday though Sunday, 12 noon to 6 pm.
Prototype comprises components-computer-generated forms based on irregular geometries-that are laser-cut from plywood following the computer's instructions. As a full-scale model for a prefabricated structure, it can be modified and reassembled depending on the function of the structure, whether that is an outdoor pavilion, a residence, or a performance space.
For "Project," which opened in September 2000, Pardo created a new admissions lobby, bookshop, and exhibition gallery on Dia's 9,000-square-foot first floor, infusing the environment with natural and refracted light by means of a lively palette of ceramic tiles. Since then, Dia has presented a series of exhibitions within Pardo's unique and vibrant design. In 2001-02, a collaborative exhibition between Pardo and Italian artist Gilberto Zorio, titled "Reverb," was exhibited. For "Reverb," Microfoni, a sound work first created by Zorio in 1969, was interwoven into "Project" and partially enveloped by a monumental curtain created by Pardo. In September 2002, Dia opened "Refraction," a focused selection of works by Gerhard Richter installed in the ground-floor gallery and set in Pardo's environment. "Refraction" highlighted the artists' shared interest in issues of framing, representation, and the relationship between a work of art and its environment. For the current exhibition, Pardo's Prototype, a structure of variable construction, reflects the artist's interest in prefabricated structures that may be assembled to serve diverse functions.
Jorge Pardo
Pardo was born in 1963 in Havana, Cuba, and moved to the United States in 1969. He earned his BFA at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, and has exhibited widely since his first solo show in 1988. Throughout his career, Pardo has mixed work devised for traditional museum spaces with artistic pursuits sited in other venues. In 1997, he held a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. This followed a substantial commission to create a café for the Leipzig Messe, in Germany, in 1996. Pardo's large-scale work ranges from a temporary pier for Sculptur.Projekte Münster in 1997, which subsequently became permanent, to a house, 4166 Sea View Lane, which he presented in 1998 in the context of a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Pardo lives and works in Los Angeles and on Long Island.
Related Programming
Artist Jessica Stockholder will lecture on Pardo's work on Thursday, December 18, 2003 as part of Dia's Artists on Artists lecture series. The lecture takes place at 6:30 pm at Dia's exhibition facility at 548 West 22nd Street. Admission is $6; $3 for members, students and seniors. Tickets are available on the day of the lecture only. For more information please call 212 989 5566.
Dia Art Foundation was founded in 1974. A nonprofit institution, Dia plays a vital role among visual arts organizations nationally and internationally by initiating, supporting, presenting, and preserving art projects, and by serving as a locus for interdisciplinary art and criticism. Dia presents its permanent collection at Dia:Beacon, in Beacon, New York; exhibitions and public programming at Dia:Chelsea (formerly Dia Center for the Arts) in New York City; and long-term, site-specific projects in the western United States, in New York City, and on Long Island.

My system is kept fully up to date and I still see this problem intermittently, although not as often as I used to; I would say that this has not been fully fixed. If there are any workarounds other than rebooting, this would be a good place to collect them. This has previously been closed and re-opened due to demand.
Cutting and copying do not always seem to change the content of the clipboard, whether triggered from a keyboard shortcut, a menu option, or even drag and drop. At the least this results in sometimes praying the wrong information, at worst it results in cut randomly acting like a delete key. The behavior as I have observed started out as staying to randomly occur and then consistently happen until the system is rebooted, for all programs including finder and the terminal.now it seems to stay randomly and then intermittently but at a high frequency occur, again regardless of program.
Searching on google produces no useful results for this issue.
Copied from Drag & drop and cut & paste not working [closed] so that others may find this question in search
Possible Duplicate:
Can anyone explain this clipboard behaviour?
This is weird. I'm on OSX Lion, and sometimes both drag & drop and cut & paste stop working, at the same time. They stop working in any program, not just the Finder. And it's not just the shortcut: if I try to right click and select "Copy" it doesn't work either.
This has happened three times so far. A reboot fixes it, but it's annoying at best. Any solution?

It's a pretty well known fact that Latter-Day Saint members (aka Mormons) do not believe in the Holy Trinity as far as that God, Christ and the Holy Ghost are 'one'. So what exactly do they believe in, when it comes to the nature of God?
Also how can they reconcile scriptures that state Christ and God are one?
Note: This is open to ALL denominations, but DO NOT claim to be an expert on these things if you cannot back it up with ACTUAL DOCTRINE FROM THEIR TEACHINGS. This is not meant to 'disprove' their beliefs, but rather allow for an explanation of their doctrine.

text: Hey guys! I'm back with another lesson that you'll probably love. In this new lesson, I'll show you 'how to draw the homophobic seal', step by step. I've been seeing this character all over the place on Facebook as well as here in the DragoArt chatrooms. Make sure you prepare yourself with paper, pencil/pen, and an eraser. If you're not so serious with this, just use a pen or pencil and some scrap paper. The homophobic seal is seen in comic strips or motivational posters yelling remarks like 'ultra gay' or something else. He usually makes these remarks about pop culture references, celebrities, or movies. Anyways, what's your favorite Homophobic seal phrase you've seen? Let me know! Thanks so much for viewing and standby for more awesome lesson ;)

There's plenty of chili cookoffs and barbecue competitions throughout Kansas, but as far as I know there's only one Meatloaf Festival. And no, this event is not about the famous hard rock musician named Meat Loaf I listened to in college. Held in Paxico, the festival named for one of our favorite comfort foods features a parade, car show, music, children's activities and, of course, the Meatloaf Cookoff as the highlight of the day.

Yesterday, I found a great library that allowed me to have a "facebook menu" with a button on the top left of an action bar which, when pressed, would slide in a menu of items from the left.
The problem is that I wish to make use of the ActionBarSherlock library as well to make sure that my application is backwards compatible with the action bar. When using the library I, among other things, need to override onOptionsItemSelected as such :
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == android.R.id.home) {
return true;
} else {
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
Now I went into the library and saw that the developer had made onOptionsItemSelected final. I removed it and tried overriding it again only to find that the product was that whenever I press the button nothing happens. Nothing at all.
Any idea on how I would go about using the darvds_ribbonmenu library along with actionbarsherlock?

Car Craft Summer Nationals 2014 Jumbo Photo GalleryWritten by Douglas Glad on July 19, 2014 July 18-20 at the Minnesota State fairgrounds. One more big day.
Anyone with any idea what a street machine looks like is at this show. Proof is the gigantic line of cars stretching down Snelling Avenue and wrapping endlessly around the cruise circuit. As the day goes on, more people are uncapping the exhaust and pouring in the race gas to make some laps. The entire Car Craft magazine staff are walking the grounds looking for feature cars and hints about what is to come for the hobby. This year, it's LS swaps with turbos and it doesn't matter what the year make and model. We've also seen the continuations of the gasser trend and this year, former race cars from the 1960s and 70s are being unloaded from trailers and driven. So if you have a street machine or late model American muscle car, get out here. Here is a huge photo gallery to motivate you.

Dead Doctors Dont Lie 26 Jan 2015
Dr. Joel Wallach begins the show discussing "failed medical theories". Doc states that early man believed that illness was caused by evil spirits. Then it was good and bad "humours", after that an imbalance of "biles". After the discovery of bacteria it was thought all disease was caused by bacteria. Once viruses were discovered that of course they were the cause of disease. Later the human genome was mapped out and genetics are now the cause.Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article about contaminated scopes in Seattle. These endoscopes infected 32 people with drug resistant bacteria. Eleven of those infected ultimately died. However the authors were quick to point out that these people were already crtically ill. The same scenario played out in Pittsburgh in 2012 and Chicago in 2014. Although the hospitals were following the manufacturors guidelines for sanitizing between patients. These same guidelines were approved by the FDA.Callers
Doug has questions concerning a friend who had their gall bladder removed.
Renee's daughter has been diagnosed with an unspecified "autoimmune disease".
Lisa has been diagnosed with myasthenia gravis.
Elizabeth has a dog that keeps licking it's paws.
Ed has high blood pressure that he is trying to control without drugs
Bill is in a nursing home with MS (multiple sclerosis).

Prison crowding looming again
Connecticut's prison population has increased sharply in recent months. A July 15 Republican-American story indicated there currently are 17,000 inmates, nearly 500 more than the Malloy administration planned for.
The administration asserted in June that if the increase continues, the state probably will have to reopen a shuttered prison; doing so would be expensive, and no money has been budgeted.

More jails would be great if your a prison or prison supply company. Perhaps if they locked up people who hired illegals the illegals would go away and crime would decrease as people would have more legal job opportunities. Sadly the 1% would rather hire illegals or export our jobs where human rights, child labor, healthcare does not exist. We just export slavery and they keep our lawmakers flush with PAC cash to keep giving us the same snow job. "

So often, when Mother Nature gets drunk and tosses two perfectly normal animals into the blender, what results is a completely new (and completely fucked up) miracle of life. We've discussed some of these lazily designed creatures in the past, but it turns out nature wasn't done haphazardly stapling DNA together and calling it a day. How else would you explain ...
#8. Catfish + Octopus = Medusa Pleco

When the Great Old Ones come and the gasps of the doomed signal the birth of a new age and a slithering dominion over man, will you have the proper tank filter and decorative coral to ensure that your new pet is happy and healthy in his adopted home?
The Planted Tank
A little bubbling treasure chest or two would please the Master.
That thing is Medusa Plecu, a Brazilian catfish, and at first glance it looks like Cthulhu in the flesh: pitch-black, ugly as can be, and a whole mess of tentacles where a mouth probably should've been. Hell, it even looks angry! We have awoken the Dark One, and he ... cleans our fish tanks.
Well. Winning the war was easier than we thought.
In its natural habitat, the Medusa uses its decidedly non-evil tentacles as feelers to forage for food. Thus, it's a natural transition to baby's first bottom-feeding, cuddly algae slurper. This mythos is getting worse by the second.

That is not dead which can on the bottom lie, and with strange tentacles even algae may die.
Shockingly, Medusa Plecu don't like each other. Sticking two of them together in the same tank can provoke an all-out, um, mild tussle for the ages. So ... don't do it? Or maybe you should; it might be more fun. Nobody tell Cthulhu's cult about this, OK? It would severely bum them out.
#7. Squid + Cockatiel = Taonius Borealis

Oh God, make it stop staring! Those are the eyes you see on the neighborhood sex offender as you're jogging by his house.

If someone ever decides to build a zeppelin for pedophiles, this is pretty much their concept model.
Combine that with this thing's beyond-creepy grin and you have to wonder if it has plans for us. Humanity is officially doomed, thanks to a see-through bird with Steve Buscemi eyes and hatred in its clearly visible heart. Luckily for us, Taonius borealis (only known by its Latin-y scientific name) lives in the deep ocean, its nightmares secure under a trillion tons of water pressure. It's a large squid, roughly 20 inches in length, and that pretty cockatiel pompadour it's sporting is actually its tentacles.
Unlike your grandma's precious birdie, T. borealis' crown houses tons of razor-sharp teeth at the tips. Because -- bird jokes aside -- these are squids, and squids hate everything.
Richard E. Young via tolweb.org
"You worthless humans have 24 hours to give me a real name."
Haven't shat your pants yet? Look at those eyes again. Notice how they fucking rotate? Like Satan's telescope, this guy's eyes can bulge out and move in most any direction imaginable, and its sockets tag along for the ride. This means more visibility for the borealis, and less sleep for the rest of us.
#6. Mole + Earthworm = Mexican Mole Lizard

So fate rolled the dice and decided that you were to be a lizard. Maybe you wanted to be a hulking, poison-mouthed Komodo dragon. Unfortunately, fate gave less than a negative shit about your goals, shrunk you down to worm size, and took away half your legs. Sorry, bub; you're now a Mexican mole lizard.
Gary Nafis via CaliforniaHerps.com
Too creepy to be cute, but still too adorable to kill with a shovel.
Mole lizards might as well call themselves worms; they are segmented like them, slither like them, and hang around in the dirt like them. They use those little mole-like forearms to dig down and waddle around, and they mainly eat insects and smaller lizards. This is somehow enough to make local fishermen shit their pants in fear, though we'd also wager that a loud gust of wind could do the same. Seriously; this is one of the most feared animals in its native Baja peninsula. According to local folklore, "Its long claws grip the walls of the rectum and serve to anchor it within the intestinal tract. The short limbs are used to locomote deeper into the body."
Gary Nafis via CaliforniaHerps.com
On second thought, let's obliterate these things with a pipe bomb of shovels.
Now obviously, a long, fleshy tube plunging deep into somebody's asshole would never happen, and the mole lizard is actually quite harmless. Unless you're an insect, apparently.
#5. Giraffe + Zebra = Okapi

If you're not seeing the "giraffe" part, look at the head. So maybe this is three animals -- zebra, horse, giraffe. Or maybe it was just supposed to be a zebra/giraffe and Mother Nature realized she didn't have enough black and white paint and was like "Fuck it, I've got plenty of brown I can use. Now where's my bourbon?"
The okapi is actually related to the giraffe and is its last living relative, which must make for depressing family reunions. They both have sloping builds, large ears, and freaky long tongues that can rip leaves off of trees (and make lonely mateless nights all the more enjoyable).
Tom Brakefield/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Using this picture on OkCupid will NOT make the ladies "get the idea."
This thing is, by the way, not related to the zebra at all. So why the stripes? Camouflage, for one; the okapi hides in the forest and lets the sunlight bounce off its white markings, making the animal near-impossible to see. They also aid calves when following their mother around, because no two pairs of Zubaz leggings look alike.
Though tame, they aren't recommended as house pets, no matter how rich, insane, or insanely rich you may be. Why? Well, they hate you. Okapis are solitary creatures that don't interact well with others. They won't gore you or anything, but don't be shocked if they destroy everything you own in an attempt to escape while screeching the okapi version of "FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOMMMMMMM."
"Cesar said we have to be dominan- CHRIST HE JUST LICKED MY EYEBALL!"
Oh, and they leave tar footprints behind. Just the thickest, stickiest gunk imaginable, used to mark their territory. And this happens every single time they walk. Suddenly, Fluffy tracking litter into the kitchen doesn't seem so bad.

I don't know what I need to write here, but I am explaining everywhere what I feel and think.
Everyone has some habits that may be good or bad. But firstly I want to control or change some of my habits but I can't do that. Sometimes I'll decide that I will not do this again but it happens again and again and I can't control that.
I know this all is a bit strange but I need to solve it. If anyone has some tips for me please share.
Thanks a lot everybody,
One of the habits that I can share with everyone is that I can't handle anybody more than a limited time. I have lots of friends but don't like fast friend at all. I don't know this will be good or bad for me, but I want to gossip with friend but I don't like and same as with my relatives. I feel good only when working as I am an iOS developer and only like to do programming alone.

Rally Tasmania
The Australian Auto-Sport Alliance (AASA) regulates the Rally Tasmania event. Rally Tasmania is conducted in the vibrant City of Burnie. The City of Burnie offers new cafes and other water front developments for the people who joined Rally Tasmania and the spectators who wants to see the cars and the places involved in the event. The North West Coast has great tarmac rally roads for Rally Tasmania. There will be two runs conducted in the only city tarmac stage in Australia on the central business area streets. There are famous stages for Rally Australia including the 50km Savage River Road, 30km Hellyer Gorge and of course the new stages at the back of Ulverstone and Burnie. You can also enjoy lunch at the Savage River where the best buffet in Australia is served. Freight rate will not be a problem with Rally Australia with the Toll Shopping cash redemption.
Getting to Tasmania
Tasmania is an island, so there are two ways to get there: by air or by.
Spirit of Tasmania operates two ferries that sail in each direction between Devonport and Melbourne nightly. Crossings generally depart at 8 pm and arrive at 7 am. Cost is comparable to air travel, beginning at A$200 for a low-season return ticket.
For a faster journey you can buy cheap flights to Hobart or Launceston. Most flights from the mainland Australia to Tasmania go via Melbourne. It is also possible to get direct flights to Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.
Classic Winners
With their 1974 Porsche 911 RS, Roger Patterson and Richard Geue of South Australia won the inaugural Classic Tasmania 2011 event. This duo was leading the competition for three days 24 seconds ahead of Jason White and Adrian Hodgetts and Nick Ellis and Travis Lacey from Victoria with their 1977 Porsche. There were around 42 cars that started off in the race. Later on 38 were left and Patterson and Geue came out first among all of them.
Richard's Consistency
It was the consistency of Jim Richards that pay off in the motorsport of the 31st Rally Tasmania. Richards is a touring car legend in the Rally Tasmania event. Rally Tasmania was placed in the calendars of events in the last minute. Despite this fact, there were still 17 cars that joined the 31st Rally Tasmania event.
Bott Australasia
The international storage solutions experts Bott is the financial partner of the 2011 Classic Rally Tasmania event. Bott has a big impact on the financial foundations of Rally Tasmania. Bott also supported and enhanced the event by improving the national and international presentation of Rally Tasmania. Wilhelm Bott created the mechanical workshop in Gaildorf back in 1930. That place is where the modern-day Bott Group was created. Now, Bott is one of the best workshop equipment manufacturers. They are also the leading manufacturers of in-vehicle equipment and Workplace systems all over the world. There is a wide range of professional equipment that Bott industry can offer their customers.
AASA Regulations
If your vehicle is currently competing in other events of the AASA tarmac events, it can still join the Classic Tasmania. The Vehicle Technical Regulations (VTR) is still under process of compilation for the Classic Tasmania event. The regulations will soon be written to make it easy for the competitors to follow. There will be differences in the regulations concerning the Post Classic Category for 1982 to 1989 cars.
Brilliant Stages
There will be new brilliant stages being created to bring back the Road Book together. There will be 3 new brilliant stages behind Ulverstone. The Helley Gorge and Savage River stages will still be around for this year's event. There will also be a new stage behind Wynyard to Wivenhoe in Burnie. The conclusion of the rally will be at the Burnie CBD.
Rally driving is a dangerous sport and you must declare this activity when taking life insurance, income protection or trauma insurance. Failure to do so may result in insurance companies refusing payment.
Cloth nappies Australia are throughout Tasmania as they are excellent for the environment. If you are trying to findout when your due try ovulation calculator or pregnancy calculator.

After decades of effective advocacy, policy changes, and direct service provision, myths about violence against women and victim blaming persist and impact the effectiveness of the criminal justice system's response to victims and sirvivors. Research indicates thta advocates and law enforcement offers are effective expert witnesses, and that they and court personnel can affect change regarding the perceptions of these crimes. This conference aims to address that gap by providing training to increase the use of expert testimony indomestic violence cases.Early rate registration fee is $300.00.Registration fee is $325.00 after December 13, 2012.Registration fee includes: all workshop sessions, conference materials and continuing education document

In 2008, German pharmaceutical prices were described by the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development as the highest among its 30 member countries (OECD now has 34 member countries), for both patented and generic drugs (2). Not surprisingly, in 2008, the number of products possessing a marketing authorisation in Germany far exceeded that of any other European market. Physician freedom in prescribing has helped drive pharmaceutical sales as well and even when measures were introduced to set volume targets for physicians, they had limited impact. In particular, it was difficult to hold physicians to account because the collection of data to convincingly prove overspending was problematic and because physicians would claim exceptional circumstances for their choice of prescribing (2). Similarly, in 2002, measures were introduced to allow pharmacists to substitute a cheaper drug whenever possible, but physicians still retained the right to oppose the decision.
Despite market successes in Germany, the pharmaceutical industry expressed concerns that there were unnecessary delays in the approval of medicines. In 2003, a task force representing both industry and the government was convened to look at enhancing innovation in the German pharmaceutical market by examining steps to accelerate the national marketing authorisation procedure. Following recommendations in 2007, structural changes were made to the Federal Institute for Pharmaceuticals and Medical products (Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel and Medizinprodukte, BfArM) to make it more independent and efficient in its decision-making. Some of the outcomes were, however, unfavourable for the industry, such as proposals for increased private funding of BfArM's activities, mainly coming from application fees related to the applicants' turnover (2). Pharmaceutical companies complained about the measures, but the changes appear to be representative of the steady shift in government decisions that do not necessarily align with industry viewpoints.Change in the pricing environment
The key sign that times were about to get tougher for pharmaceutical companies in Germany came with the introduction of a new healthcare bill known as AMNOG (Arzneimittelmarkt-Neuordnungsgesetz) in 2010. AMNOG formally signalled the end to the free pricing era in Germany, much to the displeasure of the pharmaceutical industry, which has complained that the reforms will lead to €2 billion in lost revenue per year (3).
In contrast to the previous freepricing environment, companies are now required to demonstrate the benefits of their drugs early in the development process. Following an independent appraisal, these benefits are factored into the permitted price. AMNOG reforms required these data for all new reimbursable drugs and combination therapies launched after 1 January 2011. Although pharmaceutical companies have constantly opposed the measures, they are now firmly established.
Under the new system, companies must compile a cost–benefit dossier comprising a variety of information about their product that must be submitted within three months of product launch. The Federal Joint Committee (G–BA), a group featuring representatives from the medical profession, insurance companies and hospitals, examines the evidence for the product to decide whether any added value will be recognised (3). The G–BA may decide that another body known as IQWiG (Institut für Qualität und Wirtschaftlichkeit im Gesundheitswesen) should conduct the cost–benefit analysis. The resulting outcomes for a product can be major added benefit, significant added benefit, unquantifiable additional benefit, or no added benefit. Although the evolving German system may seem to bear some resemblance to the work of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in England and Wales, IQWiG has refuted such comparisons. Unlike NICE, IQWiG does not use the quality-adjusted life year (QALY) measure in its assessments.

To the editor:
I have just that more praise and appreciation for those on police duty now; knowing they have endured the embarrassing prospect of a $6 raise per year of service on the force over the rookie.
Can not our city officials look around at the military pay schedule, civil service pay schedules, or prison schedules? The numbers are different but the system is the same!
The proposed change is better late than not at all, rewarding experience, performance and ability with commensurate pay.
As prior military, it does not make sense to pay a sergeant the same as a private. To me, the police career is similar to the combat soldier.
These are civil soldiers on our streets putting their lives on the line while keeping us safe and protected. This is at great personal price due to their daily stress, both physical and mental, not knowing what violence is coming their way.
Just look through the paper. For example, Nov. 17-18 Times, "Suspect allegedly batters 3 officers." I recall we lost a decorated police officer last year or two ago.
If their pay does not progress with their experience and performance, we lose what we have trained.
I don't mind paying more in taxes for our people, police, firefighters, EMS; they are more important to me than a parcel of land or hotel deal. After all, what good is the land or hotel if civil order and laws are not enforced?
I was set aback getting that speeding ticket, but was impressed with the police officer that gave it.

The Parker loop has order $2^{13}$, and reducing it modulo its 'center' yields -- not just a $12$-dimensional $\mathbb{Z} /(2)$-vector space, but one which can be naturally identified with the subspace of $(\mathbb{Z} /(2))^{24}$ which is the extended $24$-bit Golay code.
Analogous to the extended $24$-bit Golay code is the $12$-coordinate extended ternary Golay code, which is a $6$-dimensional subspace of $(\mathbb{Z} /(3))^{12}$. Is there likewise a known analogue of the Parker loop which has order $3^{7}$ and which may be likewise identified with the extended ternary Golay code once it quotiented by its center? (And, if no such thing is known, is it because it has been proven not to exist?)

Security and safety awareness through education is a part of Saint Louis University's efforts to prevent crime and improve campus safety. During scheduled new student and new employee orientation programs as well as programs held throughout the school year, representatives of the Department of Public Safety and other experienced presenters address an array of safety and security topics, to include:
Representatives of DPS emphasize the responsibility of the individual for not only his or her own safety but the safety and security of others. Representatives of DPSEP are available to provide crime prevention presentations upon request.
All members of the Saint Louis University community play an important role in keeping the campus safe and are encouraged to report any criminal act, unsafe conditions, or suspicious activity to DPSEP. Students, faculty and staff should use sound judgment and take precautions to avoid becoming a victim of crime.
