State looks to expand registration laws
|A bill introduced in the General Assembly would require every all-terrain vehicle in the state to be registered. Credit: contributed
Some of the notions would impact all operators of motor vehicles, such as the establishment of tolls on the state's highways. Other proposed laws, written with introductory simplicity and no doubt bound for revision if they gain any traction, are more specific.
"Proposed H.B. 5183" introduced by state Rep. DebraLee Hovey, a Republican whose district includes Monroe and Newtown, would require the registration of every all-terrain vehicle. Under state law that means any "self-propelled vehicle designed to travel over unimproved terrain that has been determined by the commissioner of motor vehicles to be unsuitable for operation on the public highways."
Under that definition, anyone owning a quad or snowmobile — or even a dirt bike — would be required to register it, regardless of whether it was owned solely for use on one's own property. Under current law, registration of a quad, snowmobile or dirt bike is not required if it's ridden on land you own or lease.
So, do you own a quad that's used primarily to plow snow from the driveway? Under H.B. 5183, it would have to be registered. What's next? Snow blowers?
Farmers and business owners — golf courses and ski areas, for instance — wouldn't be exempt. In addition to quads, snowmobiles and dirt bikes, golf carts and snow grooming equipment could be interpreted as falling under the existing state statute. While that's stretching the point, motocross enthusiasts are definitely vulnerable, even those who own bikes that are for competition use only — the kind that sit silently in the garage or trailer until hauled to the track.
Not only would there be a fee to register an ATV, but registration of ATVs would presumably open them up to local property taxes, making for a double hit on the wallet. Hovey's bill would also "impose a fine on any person who fails to register any such vehicle."
News of the bill's introduction isn't being greeted with enthusiasm at dealerships.
"Any time you're adding additional fees to a sale it makes it all that more difficult. We don't need any additional fees. This is going to drive even more people to go out of state to buy stuff," said Jim Tabor, co-owner of Willow's Motorsports in Cheshire.
Dale Badura, owner of Enfield Motorsports, likewise views the bill as a money-grab by the state that will hurt business. "That's why people are going out of state to buy their units. It would be a huge effect — lost sales," she said.
Hovey has another proposal, too. She's introduced "Proposed H.B. 5187" that would amend current statutes "by requiring all motor vehicles to undergo annual safety inspections." The stated purpose of Hovey's bill is "to improve road safety," as if the roads are teeming with unsafe vehicles.
State Rep. Patricia Dillon, a Democrat serving New Haven, is the legislator who wants the statutes "amended to establish tolls on Connecticut's highways." She's introduced "Proposed H.B. 5125." Its purpose is "to raise revenue through tolls." Give her points for honesty.
Will motorcyclists be forced to pay the same amount as drivers of cars and light trucks? We should get a break because our two-wheelers (and trikes) are more fuel efficient and less damaging to road surfaces.
One bill that motorcyclists can applaud is "Proposed H.B. 5248" from Rep. Fred Camillo, a Republican who represents Greenwich. He wants to increase fines for distracted driving, specifically "the fines for illegal use of a mobile telephone or other electronic device while operating a motor vehicle." The purpose is "to increase penalties for distracted driving." Shouldn't it really be "to decrease distracted driving" or am I missing the point? That is, unless the point is simply to get more cash.
Based on how often drivers currently operate their vehicles with a phone smashed against an ear to converse or held up against the steering wheel to text, unless there's greater enforcement, the chances of decreasing distracted driving are nil.
While there's also a bill requiring an eye exam for anyone over the age of 65 seeking to renew their driver's license and two bills that would outlaw the riding of bicycles two abreast and require single-file operation on roadways, one that's particularly irritating comes from state Sen. Len Fasano. The Republican, whose 34th District goes from Wallingford down to the shoreline, has introduced "Proposed S.B. 166." It would double the fine of unauthorized use of an all-terrain vehicle "on municipal or private land without the written permission of the landowner."
Perhaps he should study why there might be a need for such a proposal and then urge all members of the General Assembly to investigate why a law passed in 1986 has yet to be implemented. The law ordered that the then-Department of Environmental Protection "shall make available" state property for off-road riding.
Yes, 27 years have passed, and yet no land has been set aside, which makes Hovey's play to require the registration of all ATVs all the more noxious. She wants to hit riders in their checkbooks while the state continues to duck delivering on a promise made to those same riders nearly three decades ago.
"They've been threatening this for a lot of years and it hasn't come to pass," said Tabor of blanket ATV registration. "Our stance has always been, 'Why?' What's the purpose other than to collect money? If they were providing us with a place to use them, it would be a different story."
Badura agreed, saying "There's no legal riding in the state of Connecticut, so how can they make us register?"

Detox Diaries: My Three-Day "Fruit Flush"
Is three days enough time to cleanse the body for clearer skin and a smaller number on the scale? Follow one woman determined to find out
9:45 a.m.: Oh man, fruit is so delicious. I have two small apples and eat them with intense pride.
10:42 a.m.: Why am I hungry again? I got apples. Shut up Anna.
10:45 p.m.: I look jealously at my coworker's yogurt -- and I don't even like yogurt. Time for a peach.
12: 36 p.m.: How about half a cantaloupe? Don't mind if I do.
2:22 p.m.: Oh my gosh. I just ate grapefruit and a handful of strawberries and my servings of fruit are done for the day.
5:45 p.m.: I'm officially angry. I'm writing a story about "healthy fast food" options and find myself salivating over things I would never normally care about. Like peanuts.
6:33 p.m.: Finally, dinnertime. The baked potato and avocado are more of a delight tonight than they were yesterday. I think I'm going to go to bed soon though, just so I don't suddenly start gnawing on the only other food in my house -- frozen meatballs. P.S. The only people I know who go to bed before 7 are in diapers, young and old.

Ember Spa (ともしびおんせん, Firelight Hot Springs) is a location on Knot Island that first appeared in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. It can be accessed by entering a small cave opening near the midsection of Kindle Road. Inside the chasm are hot pools of water that heal the player's Pokémon if the player walks in the center of the sole accessible pool. An old man claims to have dug the whole spa out of a gigantic boulder, and he will give HM06 Rock Smash to the player if conversed.

I live in an apartment, so I don't want to put holes in the wall, but I have a large (2'x3') wire-suspended frame, weighing 14 pounds, that I'd like to hang. The heaviest-duty 3M Command product (the Sticky Nail Wire-Back Hanger) only holds 8 pounds and 18"-24" frames. The Command FAQ says they "don't recommend" using multiple hooks to hang heavier things. Any ideas?
This may be thinking outside the box, but there are other ways to display a picture rather than "hanging" them. Hopefully these inspire some solutions...
Have you considered using some sort of display easel like the one above instead?
Google Search: Photo Display Easel
Compression poles are also an interesting way to hang things without causing damage:
Or if you are more industrious, you can construct some sort of free standing (or leaning) panel to hang the picture from. A nicely framed section of painted drywall or other type of surface can make a nice accessory for the room. It can be made free standing or designed to lean up against the wall without causing any permanent damage.
The reason they don't recommend using multiple fixings if that if one fixing fails then the others are likely to fail due to the extra load on them.
For a heavy item you will need to fix it to something, whether it is in the wall or ceiling, unfortunately.
Buildex EZ solver is a great problem solver..
Repairing the hole is easy (reverses out to deinstall) using patching plaster or spackle (spaekle)

Common Questions About Cancer TreatmentDoes exposing a tumor to the air during surgery cause cancer to spread?
Some people think if there is a suspicion of cancer and their doctor suggests exploratory surgery to see if a tumor is present the surgery will cause the cancer or make a tumor spread faster to other parts of their body. If a tumor is discovered during surgery, people may think the operation was the cause. An operation cannot cause a cancer to develop and will not cause a cancer to spread. Exposure of the cancer to "air" does not spread the disease. Occasionally surgery can cause a tumor to "seed" (spread) into the incision site. In situations where this is unavoidable, the surgeon will often suggest chemotherapy or radiation therapy to destroy any microscopic cells that may have escaped from the tumor. People may believe in this myth because after surgery the patient will often feel sicker than before the operation. This is due to the normal post-operative recovery process.
When you delay or refuse surgery because of this myth, you shortchange yourself, since the complete removal of a cancer still offers the best chance for cure. Some cancers can be cured by chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, but surgical removal of a cancer, if possible, is often the first and most important option a patient has.
Do all cancer drugs cause the same side effects?
People generalize about chemotherapy and tend to believe that all chemotherapy treatments are alike. Approximately 40 anti-cancer drugs are now in use. Each of these drugs has different side effects, from very mild ones to those which are more difficult to cope with. Regardless of their severity, side effects can be controlled with other medications or with behavioral treatments, such as relaxation training. Nausea is an example. Not all chemotherapy causes nausea, but if you are taking medication that causes nausea, you will be given additional drugs to keep this under control. This is not to say that side effects can always be totally controlled, but your doctors and nurses will work with you to help you feel as comfortable as possible.
Hair loss is another example. Not all chemotherapy causes hair loss, but if it does, your hair will grow back. Chemotherapy works on cells that are dividing. Hair follicle cells, cells in your gastrointestinal area (mouth, stomach and intestine), and blood cells divide rapidly and therefore are more active than other cells in the body. This means that side effects such as hair loss, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and changes in blood counts are more common, but they still do not affect all patients in the same way.
Ask your doctor what side effects you should expect from your anticancer drugs. Everyone's body is different—you may experience hardly any side effects or you may experience many of them. There is often no way to predict how you as an individual are likely to react until you begin the treatment. Experiencing side effects has nothing to do with whether or not the treatment is working.
Is radiation therapy dangerous or painful?
People often generalize about radiation therapy, thinking that side effects are all the same. Radiation therapy is painless, does not cause people to become "radioactive," and is not a last-ditch effort for hopeless cases. Radiation therapy can be a curative treatment, especially when it is used for women with certain breast cancers who are candidates for removal of the lump (lumpectomy). The side effects associated with radiation will be determined by the area of the body being treated and the amount of radiation used. People do not become sterile from radiation (except in certain kinds of treatments to the pelvic area). Today, thanks to modern technology, even this is avoidable.
The most common side effect associated with radiation therapy is fatigue, especially if treatments last for five or six weeks. This is due to the actual treatment effects combined with the physical and emotional strain of daily visits to the hospital. As with all cancer treatments, ask your doctor in advance what to expect so you will be better prepared and will know what to do if you experience side effects. Many people continue to work throughout their radiation therapy but may need to readjust their schedule or workload temporarily.
Is the treatment worse than the disease?
Some people believe that cancer treatment is worse than the disease itself. This is a particularly dangerous idea, since an untreated cancer is far more dangerous than a cancer that is being treated. If a tumor is left to grow untreated, it will eventually interfere with bodily functions and be very difficult to manage. Treatment can be curative, meaning aggressive enough to get rid of the cancer forever, or palliative, meaning to control the symptoms of the illness and/or to prolong someone's life. Palliative treatment (used to control symptoms --for example radiation to control bone pain) often results in a better quality of life for a longer period of time. People with advanced cancer will question how long to continue with treatment. You, your family, and your doctors should make these decisions together, but the treatment is not worse than leaving a cancer untreated. Since most side effects can be alleviated, treatment should always be considered the first line of attack.

How do you like your popcorn?
This question is totally due to @J5 (so enjoy that fame moment). You totally knew this was coming, right?
What's your favorite brand?
Which one leaves the least amount of kernels behind?
How do you like it prepared? (Flavoring suggestions welcome.)
I like my popcorn fluffy, lightly salted, full of butter, in a large bowl, with a side of internet forums. You?
27 Answers answer
@inkycatz: Touche
@jsoko: Well I'm actually somewhat serious as I'm bored with my usual popcorn and could use flavor suggestions. :D
"I like my popcorn fluffy, lightly salted, full of butter"
I like my popcorn like I like my women; firm, salty, and buttered. LOL
I need to get out more.
normally, i'm like you @inkycatz...butter+salt = win. the brand doesn't matter as much as the cooking method. i've got mine down so i get maybe 5-10 unpopped kernels per batch (most of the time i only get 2-3).
occasionally, i'll throw in a sprinkling of pani puri spice. it's pretty awesome. (available at indian/punjabi grocery stores. maybe even places like Uwajimaya and possibly Ballard Market if you're in/around Seattle)
I am a freak,
now to answer the OP's question air popped yellow corn, no salt, no butter. Just plain popcorn. If I need some mixture I will add some white corn.
I love my popcorn covered in Butter and Parm Cheese!!!
Its a tasty!
I had my last handful of popcorn a year ago when I was diagnosed with diverticulitis. Popcorn and bacon have to be the two most addictive food smells in the world. But they make these popcorn chips that taste good
Popcorn chips? Wait, what? :D
I like my popcorn air poped and lightly salted, no butter. still looking for that perfect popping brand...
Lots of salt and butter.
I will only eat popcorn if no one else is around so that I can spit out the little skins that stick to my tongue.
Usually make mine using Olive Oil..
Lately have been mixing buttered with Kettle Corn.. A little sweet a little butter..
Love my amazing Whirly Pop. I eat popcorn most every day...low in calories, fills you up. I only use Orville. I did buy some organic popcorn during a recent Woot Off but it was too kernel-y..so hard it kind of hurt my teeth to chew.
I tried the Wabash Valley Farms movie popcorn oil (coconut oil) and while it tasted pretty decent, I sort of felt nauseous afterwards, so it's back to olive oil or canola.
I prefer to use finely ground sea salt, I wind up using less because, to my taste buds anyway, sea salt is just..saltier.
Movie theater popcorn, with real butter or popped in coconut oil and fake butter. And salt. Not overcooked, still slightly near-imperceptibly moist.
Air popped, then I slather it in caramel~bake til dry~then pour melted chocolate over it.
I love popcorn. My favorite is from a local gourmet popcorn shop, an equal mix of caramel corn, excellent sharp white cheddar, and make your hair stand up hot jalapeno. My next is freshly popped kettle corn from whatever outdoor event I am attending. Third is theater popcorn, liberally "buttered" with white cheddar shaken onto it. At home I like it air-popped with real butter, gourmet sea salt and nutritional yeast sprinkled on. I got one of those popcorn poppers (tabletop, but looks like an old popcorn cart) that works like the theater popcorn poppers for Christmas. I haven't tried it out yet but I am looking forward to it.
I like me popcorn popped and lightly buttered
I have heard that putting microwave popcorn in the freezer helps to get most of the kernels popped so I tried it and had pretty good success, a couple of bags with 1 or 2 unpopped kernels.
Popped then spread on a cookie sheet and generously drizzled with milk chocolate and white chocolate. Allow to cool then eat!
Brand doesn't matter so much to me. I only stove-pop mine. 2 Tbsp oil, 1/3 cup of kernels. Let pop, sprinkle lightly with popcorn salt. Delicious.
Anyone else take an air popper and tip it back so the kernels do not leave the popper until they get a little toast?
Butter and salt.
I love the popcorn at the movie theater and Target (surprisingly).
Kettlecorn when I'm at a fair, or the big Flea Market that always has more than one vendor selling it.
However, if I have to make it myself, I use Act II Microwave popcorn, movie theater butter! I don't like to share the bag either, but sometimes I have to! :(
I haven't had an 'old-fashioned' air popper in years, so microwave is what I'm about, lol!
Mostly I have microwave popcorn, but I add hot sauce to it about 50% time I eat it. Specifically "Tapatio" salsa picante hot sauce.
The other 50% of the time, I add Tamari (kind of a soy sauce), and garlic powder. A movie theater in Olympia, WA turned me onto this with a variety of different condiments to dress up the popcorn.
@baybei: Oh, yes. The popcorn at the Target snack counter is very good.
Spicy, please.
I'm generally really picky about what goes on my popcorn. Usually just butter and salt, cheese popcorn on occasion. I went 26 years without ever finding another way that I liked popcorn. Caramel corn and kettle corn always tasted wrong to me. Then I tried butterscotch popcorn from a local gourmet popcorn shop and I kid you not, it changed my life. I never knew that sweet popcorn could actually taste good.
We almost always use a Stir Crazy popper. Up until recently, we used canola oil and table salt or butter flavored popcorn salt. Recently we've been experimenting with coconut oil and sugar to make kettle corn. So far, the ratio seems to be 2 parts kernels and 1 part white sugar. The next round of trials will vary when the sugar is added. Currently, both the kernels and sugar are added at the same time, but I'm afraid that it's lowering the temperature too much.

I have a 1989 Yamaha FZX 750, and I can't find a replacement air filter for it. What's the best method to clean the air filter?

I agree with NoCarrier, you really have to tackle the source of the problem, which is ability to get a new filter.
I'm iffy about recommending eBay, but this guy has a stellar rating, and seems to specialize in motorcycles. He has a listing for this filter with a quantity of 10+. Communicate with him and to see if this will work out for you, and consider buying multiple to help offset shipping costs (he's in the UK).
Another option is an after-market filter. It may be possible to modify the airbox to allow a custom filter to be used. This isn't plan A, but it's better than trying to keep a paper filter going past its expiration date.
Since its paper based, your ability to clean it is somewhat limited. Mechanically agitating it (i.e. with a brush) is iffy since you run the risk of damaging the filter element. You can try shooting compressed air from the opposite direction of the filter but that really only removes the larger chunks of dirt, and if you're not careful, can also damage the element. If you look closely between the pleats, you find that the microscopic pores in the paper element are all clogged with particles that aren't readily removeable.
Long story short, any cleaning you can perform without damaging the filter will have negligible gains in flow improvement.
You definitely should try and find a new filter and because the filter is paper based your options are limited cleaning wise. If you own an air compressor, try limiting the amount of air coming out to the closest lowest setting and blow air gently into the filter which might help clean it slightly, but eventually you won't be able to clean it properly any more and you might be opening up a can of problems the longer you leave it.
I have a Yamaha SZR bike, 4 year & I use to change it every 8000 KM. It has orange paper air filter. I use a method to clean air filter every 1500 KM & it really works if you do it carefully. It takes time.
Use to clean air-filter your own after every service. No service center How good it is, don't have time to do it proper way.
How about a vacuum cleaner? Try using the upholstery brush, which will limit the amount of vacuum applied (due to air leaking through the bristles). Don't actually brush the filter.
That said, I agree that you really should find a new filter. Even if you manage to clean it, the paper will eventually disintegrate due to age, and then you'll have to replace it anyway.
There are air filter cleaners available at dirt bike shops. It's a cleaner you spray on the filter, then spray off. Make sure your air filter is DRY!! before putting it back in the bike and running it. A can costs ~7 bux or so.
i cleaned mine with petrol a lot of it...it actually cut out all the grase because because i could see the petrol turn its colour black when it dropped from the next side.....but unfortunately now my bike sounds like it doesn't has a air filter the filter is damaged or there is some air leak......so i suggest to change the air filter because it must be changed in every 10,000km(in mine,ktm duke 200) and remember if the sound of your bike changes after you tampered with the filter....its consuming more petrol.

The United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat) has awarded its Outstanding Donor Award for the Special Human Settlements Programme for the Palestinian People (SHSPPP) to the late Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz in recognition of his "for his remarkable support to the needy people of Palestine since 2007."
At a ceremony in New York, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, in the presence of UN-Habitat Executive Director Dr. Joan Clos, presented the award to Ambassador Abdallah Al-Mouallimi, the Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations, on behalf of the late Crown Prince Nayef.
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon praising the late Crown Prince's humanitarian work around the world and hailed the Saudi Committee for the Relief of the Palestinian People and the Campaign of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for the Relief of the Palestinian People in Gaza for their efforts.
The Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine to the U.N. Riyad Mansour expressed his country's thanks and appreciation to the Kingdom for its continued support.
In a statement issued following the ceremony, Chairman of the Saudi Committee for the Relief of the Palestinian People, Dr. Saed Al-Orabi Al-Harthi, said that the award reflects international appreciation for the pioneering humanitarian efforts of Prince Nayef and his role in strengthening cooperation between the Kingdom and UN organizations. He noted that Prince Nayef is the first individual to be granted this prestigious award.
UN-Habitat is mandated to work in Occupied Palestinian Territory since 2003, when its Governing Council created the Special Human Settlements Programme for the Palestinian People and the Technical Cooperation Trust Fund (GC 19/18).

TORONTO - A night of celebration off the court at George J. Kunzler Memorial Gymnasium turned into something ugly on it Saturday night when Toronto hosted Wellsville.
And it had nothing to do with the Tigers' 73-56 victory.
On "Lights Out Knight" in Toronto, commemorating the final game in the Red Knights old gym before a new one is constructed with the new Toronto High School for next season, 14 players were ejected - nine Red Knights and five Tigers - for leaving the bench during an on court altercation between the two teams.

LAST GAME — Toronto's Brad Melville looks for an open teammate over the defense of Wellsville's Nate Scott during the Red Knights' 73-56 loss to the Tigers Saturday at George J. Kunzler Memorial Gymnasium.
"The effort was good if we could have kept the commotion down we would have been a lot better off," said Wellsville head coach Dave Thompson. "We come to Toronto, it's a big rivalry, and they're going to play hard in the last game in their building.
"We're just lucky to get out of here with a victory to tell you the truth."
During a jump ball situation tempers flared on the court between the members of each team. A Toronto student was escorted from the gym for running out on the court during the incident, but none of the players involved were sent off.
Fact Box
Wellsville 73, Toronto 56
Wellsville 15 24 16 18 - 73
Toronto 19 10 17 10 - 56
WELLSVILLE: Douglas 5 4-4 14, Scott 11 5-5 31, Fultz 2 0-0 4, Bradford 4 0-0 9, Carr 3 0-0 7, Sloan 2 4-5 8. TOTALS: 27 13-14 73. 3-pointers: Scott (4), Bradford, Carr.
TORONTO: Glenn 6 0-0 12, Chadwick 4 2-2 10, Owens 4 0-0 10, Melville 4 2-3 12, Gault 5 1-3 12. TOTALS: 23 5-8 56. 3-pointers: Owens (2), Melville (2), Gault.
Unfortunately for both teams their entire benches stepped onto the court and were automatically ejected, meaning they are all suspended for the next two games.
"I'm very surprised," said Toronto head coach John Leary. "I'm not convinced every one of our guys came off the bench, but that group of officials is a veteran group, and they are good officials.
"I'll take their word for it."
Making things worse is that both teams are set to begin sectional play next week.
"You've got five guys, you've got to play five guys, bring some J.V. guys up, and hope you can get through it," said Thompson.
Added Leary, "The only thing that might save us, or give us one, is we had a young man get hurt in the J.V. game, and he wasn't here. We'll possibly have Riley Keirsey off the bench against Malvern if he's not hurt."
During the game Toronto took a 19-15 advantage after one quarter before Wellsville rolled to a 24-10 advantage in the second quarter to make the game 39-29 at intermission.
The Red Knights kept within striking distance, sitting within nine at 55-46 after three, but the Tigers pulled away with an 18-10 advantage in the fourth to make the final 73-56.
The Tigers were led by Nate Scott's 31-point effort. Camden Douglas score 14 in support.
The Red Knights had five players in double figures - Brad Melville, Dillon Gault, and Blaze Glenn each scored 12 with Joey Chadwick and Tyler Owens adding 10 a piece.
Thompson stated he believed Scott, Douglas, Jordan Sloan, Brendan Carr, and Seth Bradford are the five that are eligible to play in Wellsville's upcoming sectional opener, but he had to watch the film to verify.
Toronto will have all five starters - Melville, Gault, Chadwick, Owens, and Glenn - for its sectional game against Malvern Wednesday at 6 p.m. in New Philadelphia.
"It sounds nasty to say this, but there's been a lot of games this year where we played iron man basketball," said Leary. "We played five guys and that's been it. If it ever it was going to pay off, it's not something we haven't done. It's just now it's going to be something in the back of our mind. There's no margin for error.
"We can't get in foul trouble and things of that nature. I said if we were a team that did a lot of subbing, and we played with a deep bench I think it would affect us. Maybe that's an advantage we have over Malvern. I'll look at it that way."

It's with great honor that I extend my sincere thanks to the many people who have played a crucial part in making The Voice-Tribune's Best Dressed a continued success.
Because of everyone's contributions – from the outstanding Voice-Tribune team to the exceptional support from Bittners, the Louisville Ballet, and, of course, BD presenting sponsor, Churchill Downs, and the sponsors listed below – our 2012 event managed to exceed the high expectations set by previous years. Best Dressed wouldn't be nearly the show it is without so many hours of hard work and dedication, and I'm so grateful to everyone who made this year's Best Dressed possible. Thank you!

Currently when you associate your Stack Overflow account with a Stack Exchange site, you automatically get 101 rep*, allowing you to bypass new user restrictions. This is because you've already proven that you can be trusted elsewhere.
Would it make sense to also extend editing privileges on new SE sites, if you have them on SO? With > 5K rep on SO, it just seems silly to me to not be able to strip out salutations and other noise from Literature.StackExchange questions without the edit going through a peer review. I do understand all privileges should definitely not be dumped from SO to whenever you associate a new account; I just think editing is different. Thoughts?

Yes, it allows you to manage them as well.
Yes, it allows you to manage them as well.
That parallel worlds idea is great DodgeeD I would be very interested in helping out with this
Not sure if this has been done before?
A while back it was discussed that both Celtic and Rangers would be inducted into the English Premier League but this never happened. I was always interested too see what would happen if this were the case. I plan on finding that out in an experiment. First i'd like to know how many would be interested, if it's been done before and i'd also like some suggestions on how to do it, would i turn it into a 22 team prem or what?
No you can't turn it into a 22-team premiership, that'll make it unplayable. The quick option would be to swap two Premiership teams with Celtic and Rangers, with the longer option being to swap teams by gradually moving all teams down a division/up a division until the change becomes subtle.
I would, but only if it was completely neutral without any influence from you or other humans
I have a idea of doing small challenges like half seasons ones which could be done within hours
every week I would upload the game and there would be a table were everyone could compare how good they are doing compared to everyone else every challenge would have a differnt point system
what do you think?
Very original idea
I suggested that its at the top of the last page, I'm too busy to do it but if you do it I'd definitely have a go at them. Maybe use this as an example? http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/3674...son-challenge/
a twist on this could be to holiday so far through the season, and then pick challenges based on the season so far (i.e. save Derby from the drop, get Portsmouth into Europe etc...) might get more interest from that....
The neoseeker challenge looks amazing, would be very interested to take part or even help organize something like this.
yeah, I downloaded all of them, the majority are really fun
Has something like that been done on this forum before?
Like a big post at the start with a series of challenges to attempt. Maybe their could be like a 3 month limit for people to do as many of the challenges as possible?
Right then.. Here is mine and Robert's basic idea (this has not be confirmed yet):
What we are most likely going to do is edit 2 nations and 2 clubs and make them mine and Roberts teams.
We would get 20 people to sign up for each team (40 overall) with half the players playing for Roberts club and country and the other half playing for my club and country.
Me and Robert would then play online with each other as both our clubs and countries and write down the progress of your players, as well as the progress of both clubs and countries.
The clubs will be starting off in the bottom tier of a chosen league (yet to be decided) and would work their way up into the best clubs in the world (hopefully). The countries would most likely be in Europe and we would track the progress through all competitions as well as friendly matches.
Could we have some thoughts please, please don't just say 'that's a good idea' we would like to know ways in which to improve it/ make it better for everyone.
I think it's a very good idea, but again I think you'll have to make sure it doesn't turn out too much like DodgeeD's one
Yeh its a great idea i'll sign up, can't think of how it would need to be improved
Sounds like the Orkney v Shetland one Wisla et al did. If it's anywhere near as good as that then it will be excellent
What if the clubs and countries switch every 5 years???
It might be fun...
Actually, what might make it different and original is if the players at ridleys club played for Robert's country and vice versa. That way we could see who is best in charge of those players!!!
I'd go with WW's idea there - it would put an interesting twist on it, especially if tyhe players are set up to hate all the personnel of the other club
Yeah interesting idea WW, i'll ask Robert when he comes back online.
Thank you WW
No worries
Just need Ridleys to come on. Would have been on earlier but was busy owning university students at cricket
I'm back, was busy watching last nights Big Brother.
Okay, me and Robert are nearly done and signing up will possibly begin tonight or tomorrow sometime.
very good, very good
My idea for my first run as a sign-up host is as follows, now i want you too bear with me as i', fairly new to this and want to get it right, so i hope you can help me execute the idea in the best way possible, if the idea has been done already i do apologize.
I propose a Create a Backline sign up, i would hold a sign up where people create a back line worthy of winning any league. It would be a points based system with points being awarded for...
-Clean Sheet (3 points)
-Defensive Man Of The Match(3 points)
-Defensive Goalscorer(5 points)
-3 Clean Sheet's in a row(5 points)
-Defensive Double Scorer(10 points)
-5 Clean Sheet's in a row(10 points)
-Defensive Hat-Trick Hero(25 points)
-Defensive Goal of the month(25 points)
-One Defender inducted into team of the year(25 points)
-Half Season Unbeaten(50 points)
-Undefeated Season(100 points)
-Backline Domination[3 of 6 players inducted into team of the year](100 points)
Now clearly this is just an outline of the points scoring system and ill wait on what you think would be approipriete in this department. Each sign up would create 6 defenders, naming them and such as in the striker threads.
Attributes would be done slightly differently with each attribute being preset on 10, sign-ups would then be given 50 additional points to chop and change attributes as they wish, this would prevent everyone from having identical looking attributes. CA would be set ay 100 with PA at 200. EVERY player will be 18 years old.
So what do you guys think, is it worth giving a shot, or not?
Not my cup of tea but a few people probably will be interested.
I doubt all the 6 players would stay at a specific club haza555, but a way of doing this is say picking a certain amount of either good or crap Nations, and giving the players that nationality, which would test the defenders. And i'd reccomend doing say, something like this:
4 defenders, and a goalkeeper?
Points could be given per International game?
Just a thought of course
I'd say the best would be maybe South America, as they have only 12 Nations, and they have many games in a group for World Cup Qualifiers etc
I think i prefer your idea of the nations rather than clubs, with points being based on a game to game basis. However if it was just 4 defenders and a goalkeeper how would i guarantee the players would start each match for their country? I know i could remove players such as say, Lucio and Breno but then what happens if injuries occur?
Well, if you've got say 12 people, times that by 5 and that's 60, that is a LOT of database creating and then reports later on, I would only really reccomend 2 players per person, as that's still 24 players to do
I now see why the 'Dominant Defence' idea probably wasn't the best, but i could just change this to something like 'The Ultimate Defender' or even just 'The Ultimate National Player' where the people signing up are able to pick position. Where the attribute bonus points would be a variable setting it apart from others people have done in the past. What do ya think? Which one would YOU personally be more interested in seeing?
I'd go with the Ultimate Defender as the Ultimate National Player has been done a lot more times
Alright, i'll start this up later tonight, based on interest ill decide weather im gonna base this in Europe of South America, if their is enough interest i have no issue with taking more time over the database.
Only one query, how do i ensure the player plays all the time, or do i not? It just occurred that if a player is playing for Brazil, chances of them playing are very low. Thoughts?
Make them from San Marino?
That would work, however i cant forsee 12-20 defenders all crammed into the San Marino squad
All defenders?
That was the whole idea! It's meant to be a little like the striker ones you see so many off, only replaced with defenders with other ways to score points.
Make them from not the most popular of countries. Like Albania, San Marino, azerbajan(sp? and is it in Europe? someone clear it up) etc..
If you give them a high CA and PA they will break into the first team pretty quickly
Yes Azerbaijan is in Europe, how you couldn't know that really is beyond me tbh
Here is a fresh outline.
- Sign Up Thread with each sign up creating a defender
- Attributes all set at 10, each sign-up given 50 bonus points to chops and change attributes as they wish, you may lower 3 attributes and take the points. For example. Pace could become 5 and bonus points would increase to 55.
- Using a random generator, players will be assigned nations.
- Points are scored with things such as clean sheets, international appearances, goals etc...with clean sheets getting more points as that is the job of a defender.
Good idea.
I couldn't forget that they were in Europe after this tbh - http://youtube.com/watch?v=cTNREz9CVs4&feature=related
Alright, the only thing i need to decide is weather sign up's create one player or two which would both be centre halfs for the country, this would allow them to form a partnership and guide their team to unlikely greatness.
After seeing the success of the international strikers contest's and euro sign-up I have an idea for like a champions league sign-up. The idea is that 32 people sign-up as a 27 year old striker and will randomly be given one of the champions league teams. Then points will be scored and tables made like other sign-ups on their performance in the champions league and the UEFA Cup if they finish third in the champions league group. Bonus points would be given for international caps and goals. This idea on its own is very simple but the twist is that at the end of every year the season would be started again and each player gets given a different team - this would give everyone a chance at being a bigger team. I'm not sure if anything like this has been done before and if it has been then i'm sorry but what does everyone think
Interesting idea super_lampard, seems quite original
very good idea
Thanks for your support guys if i get a few more people interested i will start the thread soon
Good idea but what would the CA/PA be?
I would probably take requests on this but the CA will be probably be 200 otherwise some of the players may find it hard to get into the first team
The FM08 - Gone in 20 Seconds - The Short Challenges Thread has got me thinking. Short, situation based challenges is something we haven't really made the most of in this forum. Is it about time to try and produce a number of them each which could be collected together in a stickied thread? Each challenge could be in its own thread but it would be really nice to have a list, a bit like the guide to the challenges that was in the old forum header.
It might be something to think about for FM09 but I think this is something we should really consider.
Yeah really good idea Dafuge and it's one that I feel would benefit the CSE Forum as most of the people on here atm are IMO people that play a helluva lot so obviously if the challenges are short more casual gamers will be more likely to play. I'll be happy to post a few if you give me instructions on how to upload big files for free as I only know how to upload pictures.
Thinking about it, there is a ton of potential for that idea.
Would be a great addition to the forum.
It's a fine idea dafuge. The beauty of it is that these challenges could easily be derived from situations arising in peoples' save games, without the need for 'engineering' them through editors or whatever. There might be a place for that too though.
Thus, if you spot a club that is in administration and heading for the drop say, it would be perfect for this. Or, a three way tussle for a league or promotion - take one of them on and see how you do. Equally, longer terms ones could be involved, eg - in 2018, Norwich (say) find themselves languishing in the BSS - can you restore them to their former *cough* glory?
Theres loads of potential here.
''can you restore them to their former *cough* glory?''
lol, not think too much of Norwich then?
or you could notice a 'rubbish' nation in the World Cup and have the challenge to make them win it or something
definately an area with bags of potential. short, quick challenges could be light relief for people stuck in long games, particularly if 'promoted' in the right way. may well bring in a few more people to the forum.....
I agree that the short situation challenges would be a great idea. Everyone starting in the same situtation and seeing how differently people will deal with the same game makes it much easier to directly compare how good players are.
It reminds me of those dark days when all the management simulation action I got was LMA Manager on the PlayStation - there were 'scenario' based challenges there ranging from a few games (3 games to beat the drop, 3 games to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League etc) to a few seasons (back-to-back promotions for example).
As SI will never hard-code such things into the game themselves, it could be cool if we could swop these sceanrios when they come up as bermybhoy suggested.
Yeah I think these short sharp scenario challenges could be a real hit.
I'm sure between quite a few of us we can come up with some good scenarios. If they were all put together as a collection, then quite conceivably SI could flag this up and advertise these scenarios on a wider forum basis (at least put the word 'scenario' in this forum).
I'm sure there are loads of people who would download them if they were accessible and well advertised.
I've been chatting to Cleon about this, it is something he has done in the past on the tactics and GPTG forums. We are thinking about having a big collaboration for FM09 and make a really big thing of it, which will probably involve the input of a large number of people.
I used to do fortnightly or monthly senarios in the tactics forum, we had a lot of interest in them. So its something me and Dafuge are discussing currently to see what we can do for FM09. So I cant see any major problems to stop this happening, all we need to do is decide how this will happen
Is it worth testing it out for a month or two just now with the current version, particularly to see the kinda quality the great unwashed can come up with themselves?
this thread which is showing the sorts of things that people can set up. I think if we are to open this up to ideas from people across multiple forums we will get some great ideas, plus there will also be the input from the moderators and possibly SI, so this has the potential to be huge.
I think it is best that we keep things on hold until FM09, if this is marketed in the right way it has the potential to be massive and I think the release of a new game would be the best time to unleash it.
I have had what I think is quite a good idea for a challenge, my concerns are chiefly that a) The release of FM09 isn't that far away, but then if it proved any kind of success the challenge could just be re-launched. b) The challenge is too complicated, and wouldn't attract much interest. I will outline roughly what it entails, but bear in mind that this is not the challenge in full, and it has been quite well planned out in my head.
It would most likely be called "Mike's Flee to a Small Nation Challenge", or something similar.
Firstly, you must load the following leagues:
-One Big Nation (From England/France/Germany/Holland/Italy/Portugal/Spain)
-Three Small Nations (From Austria/Belarus/Belgium/Bulgaria/Croatia/Czech Republic/Denmark/Finland/Greece/Hungary/Iceland/Ireland/Israel/N. Ireland/Norway/Poland/Romania/Russia/Scotland/Serbia/Slovakia/Slovenia/Sweden/Switzerland/Turkey/Ukraine/Wales)
To make it so that there is as little advantage as possible to people who may have a higher specification computer, you may not "Load all players" from any nations, though Database Size is entirely up to you. The amount of divisions you load from each country is also your own choice, but bear in mind you will probably need to go fairly low down in your Big Nation. You should be able to get a League Two/BSP job in England, and the parallels across the other Big Nations.
The idea is as follows: You start off as an Unemployed Manager of the Nationality of whichever Big Nation you chose. Your first task is to get a job in the Big Nation. I would say at this stage that past experience should probably be at Semi-Pro Footballer, to make sure you can get some lower league job. Once you are employed, you must get yourself sacked. There is no time limit for this, but the idea is that you disgrace yourself in your home country, and then flee to a small nation. After winning domestic success in all three of your small nations, you must return to the SAME CLUB from which you were originally sacked, and win the domestic title in the Big Nation.
So the format would be something like this:
Stage 1
-Start off as an unemployed ex-semi pro footballer.
-Get a job in your chosen big nation.
-Get sacked from this job.
-It is advised that you are not too ridiculous and unrealistic in this respect, but this can be surprisingly good fun, devising tactics that will fail, but not fail spectacularly can be quite amusing.
-Once you have hit the unemployment heap (there's no time limit), go to Stage 2.
Stage 2
-Being a laughing stock in your home country, you now flee to one of your chosen small nations, in search of redemption. So, you take any job which takes your fancy. It doesn't matter which country, which division, as long as you get a job in one of the small nations.
-Now that you have a job, it is your task to win the highest Domestic League in all three of your chosen small nations, and to get your manager reputation to rise to Continental (This should probably come with the success if you have completed all three nations, but if not then repeated successes should get you there anyway).
-You may jump between jobs and nations as you please, but until you have won the title in all three leagues, you CANNOT return to your chosen big nation, no matter how low the job is. This is the extent of your disgrace.
-You have no obligation to honour any contracts, if a job in a higher league comes along then feel free to apply for it and try and get your domestic title quicker, but bear in mind that sometimes you may not get the job, and then you will likely be sacked for your disloyalty!
-When, and only when, you have successfully proved your ability in all three small nations and got your reputation up to Continental, you may return to your chosen Big Nation.
Stage 3
-The trouble is, you HAVE to return to the same club you were at before. Getting the job is unlikely to be an issue with your newly acquired reputation, but then there is the problem that they may have gone up or down divisions, and you must wait for the job to become free/available.
-Take over the club when possible. Once you have achieved this, you must rise to the top of your Big Nation's Highest Domestic League, and win the title.
-You may have advantages in that your club has managed to do some of the hard work for you, and already achieved a couple of promotions. On the other hand, there is also a danger that they have been relegated, or worse still, relegated out of the lowest playable league. If this happens, then you will have to hope that their reputation can get them back up again. Feel free to save on whatever date it is that determines which clubs come back up again, and reload until they return. If after several attempts they still don't come back, then you will have to make do and take over any job you can find in the lowest loaded league of your Big Nation you have, and win the League with them instead.
-Once you have won the Domestic League in your Big Nation, then congrats, your disgrace is over and the challenge is complete!
International Management would not be allowed, but I suppose if you had won all three domestic titles but still needed to boost your Reputation to Continental/were waiting for the job to come up, then it would be allowed.
Presumably I would in theory apply the usual rules to this challenge, such as no cheating via FM Scout and such tools, and the posting of a profile to make sure they have selected the correct reputation would be needed.
Still, feedback would be nice, I want to know if you think there is any point in starting it so near to FM09's release (And it would be a fairly long-term challenge), and whether there would be any interest in it, as it is a fairly complicated challenge, and I'm not sure if I've explained it very well. Any general advice you could give me that you think would help improve it would be great too! Even if you just think it is a terrible idea, and I shouldn't bother, then that's helpful!

I would like a few short challenges (1-2 seasons) just to keep me occupied until Fm09 is released .
That was a long read. But that sound like a good idea tbh. But it would take a while to get a continental reputation.
Hmm I'm not sure. Seeing as you're starting off with Regional Reputation anyway (In theory, this is suspect to change), and by the time you've won three domestic titles I think you'd be more or less at Continental Reputation, as you'd have had games in Europe as well presumably to have gotten to that point. I've been looking at people's manager profiles in Gundo's Challenge to see how long it takes to hit Continental Reputation, and generally they seem to manage it after a couple of title wins, so as you have the bonus of being Regional as opposed to Unproven at the start then I think you'd get there anyway.
However, anyone who has more experience with these things and knows what they have achieved to reach certain Reputations, then that would be very handy. Thanks for the input though Frazza Pee.
Right then I have a new idea, could be a big hit, could get flop of the year at the awards.
Basically I've been leaving a game to holiday while I've slept/not been on my laptop. I am now in 2186 .
Basically I want to expand on the fact that a few people have posted a game from a 100 odd years into the future and make it into a series of challenges.
I'll post a couple of examples in a minute.
I was thinking maybe for one month release challenges from this one (England) whilst holidaying a game in another country ready for the next month. The challenges would be weekly and the years would vary, so 1 month it would be 2186 and the next it could be 2016.
Right then now that my games loaded up I can post a couple of examples:
2186 - Liverpool are in League Two after years of struggling, bring them back up to the top. A challenge like that could last a month due to the size of it I feel.
(on a save that I haven't made yet so it's completely random) 2016 - Real Madrid have just been relegated to Segunda Liga, bring the Kings of Madrid back up at the first time of asking.
Obviously a few people have limited computers meaning that they would struggle running the games in Large DBs so I was thinking of putting them in small DBs and then keep the years limited to a maximum of about 2050 after the first one.
Any opinions and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated
I think that's the sort of idea that can work provided you can consistently keep up with putting interesting challenges out there. Its probably harder to consistently think of new ones than it seems. However, I do quite like the idea and I think you can probably get a fair amount of traffic for challenges that involve big clubs (with big fanbases) such as Liverpool etc and the fact that they are in a lower league is a good proposition to the many people that like the challenge of bringing someone up through the leagues.
I still don't know how I feel about weekly challenges in general. Thats VERY frequent and it'd be tricky to keep interest up. I think that people will struggle to enter every week, or rather find it impossible to take part in each one. Perhaps the relative dying out of the monthly challenges proves that that may be too long an amount of time. So I'd say try and do a new one fortnightly, or around about 2-3 weeks.
I like the idea, but I would feel a bit strange if it was well over 100 years into the future, 2186 is nearer to 200! By that time, all traces in the game of the footballing world as we know it are almost certainly gone. That is why I would prefer the idea if it was perhaps at a maximum of 40 years into the future, say 2050 yeah, because then at least you can still relate to the game somewhat as people you know might still be about in teams' records and favoured personnel, or there might be some players who are very young at the start who are now managers etc. I'd feel a bit strange entering a completely alien world, but if you do it right, challenges throughout time or something (lol sounds a bit epic) could be quite good.
Ok, thanks for the feedback, I think I'll do as you said and do it fortnightly, the thing is though that alot of people could struggle to get Liverpool up in 2 weeks. I uploaded the first one overnight so I might put it on about 5-6 when the traffics highest. I've got a spain game in 2025 that I also uploaded overnight so I'll keep it at that, Barca in the bottom division.
Isn't this basically what the save game challenges are going to be that dafuge has suggested?
No because these will be ''Football - The future'' where as the majority of Dafuges challenges will be based on 2007/08, anyway Daf said that it's fine to do whatever we want for 08 because he's not starting it until FM 09.
I thought he said it would be just any season but just make it if you want.
Yeah but I very much doubt there'd be many in the 2020s
Shouldn't you finish your current challenge first roberto922?, I don't advise running 2 challenges at the same time.
Yeah fair point, but this ones nice and easy to run alongside, just keep the scores every fortnight and upload a new save file, I could easily do it alongside the CSE Euros.
Anybody got any feedback for my challenge idea other than Frazza Pee's?
I don't want to start it without people saying its a good idea, because I'm really not sure.
Have you tested it yet? It might be worth experimenting with what sort of setups will make the possibility to move after getting sacked easiest, for example will some countries be easier to move to than others? It might be the case that the best combinations are countries which are close in proximity, such as England, Wales, N Ireland and Ireland.
Yeah, I'm in the process of experimenting with it at the moment but obviously there's only so far I can go in the short term. Semi-Pro seems to a decent reputation to start with from what I've seen so far: I managed to get the Macclesfield job when I applied for it (League 2) but not the Leyton Orient one (League 1) so I think that transfers across other big leagues well. I will try and do a run through of the whole thing, seeing how deeply the whole "being sacked" thing affects your employment prospects.
The trouble is whether its worth all the bother going through that if no-one's going to play the challenge, though admittedly there's been a couple of people who like the idea, committing yourself to it is something else entirely. I think that it is different in its way, the whole "getting sacked" as part of a challenge and being bad on purpose really hasn't been done before and I thought it might draw people in before the actual main part of the challenge in theory draws them in. It really is like a little side part, with really as much relevance and importance as say, the holidaying at the start of Gundo's or your challenges. I will experiment with it now, but if over the next few days there's not much more interest in it, I don't know if I'll bother.
I've started up the ''Football - the future'' Challenge, I've also got another challenge in the pipeline but I'm gonna leave it until one of these two finishes. http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=34976
Hmm, I'm somewhat re-thinking my idea for the "Flee to a Small Nation" or whatever because of getting a job issues. Semi-Pro is good enough, but annoyingly it seems that sometimes it can take a long while to get a job. Also, starting unemployed is annoying in that there are manager-less clubs e.g. Stafford that will always give you the job if you apply at the start as a Semi-Pro, and having everyone as the same team would be annoying. Therefore, I propose instead that they pick a team from the Big Nation's Third Tier to start off with.
The issue with this, is Holland. Of the Big Nations, England/France/Germany/Italy have 4+, Spain/Portugal have 3, which fits fine, but Holland's 2 is quite annoying. I don't know if I can really count them as a small nation considering the challenge that is taking over from PSV/Ajax/Somewhat Feyenoord dominance, so perhaps it would be better to omit them from the challenge completely sadly...
So that would sort the issue of getting your initial job, but I think the small nations could be in need of dividing further... I think that there are some where you will really struggle to get a job after being sacked, so it might be best to divide them into 3 different difficulties of nations, and then you pick one of each to help you progress through the career more clearly. I'm not convinced that this effort is being lost on me though because of a lack of interest/its getting too complicated. Perhaps if I can sort my ideas out, and post an actual thread at a high-traffic time, then the interest will rise.
How are people finding the loading times for screenshots on this forum?
I've always encouraged people to save them as JPEGs since they load faster but I've noticed that on my connection there isn't much difference in speed when loading a PNG and the quality is slightly better with those.
I've noticed loading pictures has been taking ages this morning dafuge, assumed it was my occasionally dodgy conection though.
Ah - I've just looked at those so they loaded right away.
Hit me with something else
i'd say JPEG is faster by about 2 or 3 seconds, nothing major enough to change the way you upload your screenshots tbh
JPG almost immediate, the PNG is still loading.
As I typed that. That could give the impression it's loading for infinity if I don't edit this.
If the PNGs are sufficiently slow that no one will look at them I'd rather put in the extra time to do the JPEGs as I am currently doing.
JPEGs seem to take about 3 seconds to load on my computer, the PNGs have to scroll down and take probably 10-15 seconds.

Identify secret hotels on travel websites like Priceline, Hotwire, Last Minute Travel
Don't Waste Your Money
Travelers love websites like Priceline, Hotwire, and Last Minute Travel because they have incredible deals.
The downside: They often won't tell you where you're staying until you pay for the room.
But there is way to learn the identity of that secret hotel before you book it.
The website Walletpop.com showed how you may be able to ID that secret hotel at least one travel bidding website: Last Minute Travel, also known as LMT.
It's all thanks to Google.
How to be a Sleuth
Say you want a 4 star hotel in the Downtown Disney section of Orlando.
Last Minute Travel will give you a map of the area where that hotel is located.
But switch to the Google Earth or Birdseye view and in many cases you can find the actual hotel. In this case, the only hotel in the bird's eye photo is the Hyatt at Lake Buena Vista.
That's a $160 hotel for just $86 a night. Thanks, Google.
It's harder on Priceline, because that site doesn't let you flip quickly to Birdseye view of the area, but it's still do-able.
A little searching on Google will let you know that there are not many 4 star hotels within a block of Water Tower Place on Chicago's Michigan Avenue. By taking a few minutes, you can usually figure out what hotel Priceline is putting you in.
Doesn't That Stink?
But from the "doesn't that stink" file the fact these hotel sites don't want you to know where you are staying until after you give a credit card. Doesn't that stink?
It would be nice if you could withdraw your bid if you found out the hotel was on a bad street, but in most cases you can't.
Why such secrecy? Don't blame Priceline or sites like it, but rather the hotels themselves. The hotels don't want you knowing their name in advance.
That would force the hotels to match those super low Internet prices.
So you have to be your own detective so you don't waste your money.

WELLSBURG - The halls of Brooke High School normally are silent on Sunday afternoons.
But that silence will be broken this week by the sound of footsteps of those turning out for the third-annual MS Walk coordinated by Kim Chapline-Byers, a Wellsburg woman who has coped with multiple sclerosis since 2007.
Chapline-Byers said family, friends, area businesses and others once again have helped her to arrange the walk, which will be held from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at the school. Registration will be at 1:30 p.m. The $5 registration fee and a portion of proceeds from about 10 vendors, who will be selling a variety of household goods from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., will go the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Those who register are invited to stay for a dinner prepared by volunteer Jimmy DeMundo of Wellsburg after the walk. Those planning to stay for the dinner are asked to call Chapline-Byers at (304) 737-3335 by Saturday "but no one will be turned away."
Multiple sclerosis results from an autoimmune disorder that causes a person's immune system to attack myelin, a substance surrounding and protecting nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.
Because the cause hasn't been determined, there's no cure. But advances in medicine have helped those with MS to cope better with its symptoms, including fatigue, chronic pain, numbness, poor balance coordination, visual problems, muscle spasms and difficulty focusing.
Many local residents with multiple sclerosis were among about 100 who participated in last year's walk.
"There are a lot of people in this area with MS - more than you would think, more than I realized before I was diagnosed," Chapline-Byers said.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society reports there are about 400,000 Americans with the disease. The Brooke High School walk is among hundreds of Walk MS events held throughout the U.S.
Connie Kafton of the local MS Support Group will be on hand to share information.
Chapline-Byers expressed appreciation to Eagle Manufacturing, Byers' Marathon, Homer-Laughlin China and Rose Porco for serving as sponsors for the event, and Brooke County school officials for allowing use of the school.

Diet and Cancer
Diet and Cancer
What we eat and how we treat our bodies on a daily basis have a very powerful effect on our health and quality of life. Although cancer can affect many different parts of the body, the foods that prevent cancer and deter cancer growth are generally the same. Fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes all have important nutrients and other cancer-fighting substances like phytochemicals and pectin that strengthen immune function and destroy cancer-causing substances before they cause harm.
Research has shown that people who eat a diet free of animal products, high in plant foods, and low in fat have a much lower risk of developing cancer. Search for research and fact sheets on topics listed below.

Context Menu is not hiding
GXT: v2.2.4
GWT: v2.3.0
Browser: FF 4.0.1
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.7
Any context enabled component (grid, tree) doesn't hide the context menu if no selection was made.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Right click on a context menu enabled component
2. Don't select any menu in the context menu
3. Clicking anywhere in anywhere other than the context menu won't close/hide it
Screen capture showing the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy-lawekrpU
1 Jun 2011 3:55 PM #2
I have done some more testing and have observed the following:
I think the issue has to do with the mouse pointer position w.r.t. to the context menu position.
1. Right click on the tree item, and while holding the right mouse button pressed, move the cursor over the context menu and then let the mouse button go. Now the context menu will always close.
2. Right click on the tree item, and while holding the right mouse button pressed, move the cursor way from the context menu and then let the mouse button go. Now the context menu won't close. This case is illustrated in the following screen capture:
Also, this is not just a FireFox issue. On some browsers/OS the right click aligns the context menu with the mouse pointer and for others it doesn't. So if the user happens to move the mouse while the right button is clicked, and the context menu is not under the mouse pointer when the user releases the right button, then the issue arrises.
1 Jun 2011 4:03 PM #3
One more observation. In a previous version of GXT, v2.1.1, the context menu display behaved differently.
GXT v2.1.1 : The context menu renders on right mouse button release
GXT v2.2.4 : The context menu renders on right mouse button press
23 Nov 2011 3:10 PM #4
I have noticed this also. Has there been any resolution to this issue? This has really thrown a wrench in the progress of the payroll solutions site I am creating. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let us know. Thank you very much!

I Never Write Reviews, However I Felt Compelled To Do So.
I am a beautiful african american woman, with shoulder length hair. My hair is dyed blonde, with blonde highlights. I have a keratin treatment, which as of the last two applications seems to only last one month. The treatment is very pricey, and I expect a better result. I'm not sure if Coppola changed their formula, however my results aren't as long lasting as they were last year. Anyhow, I do appreciate the fact that keratin has allowed me to get color, however now I'm stuck. I can't go back to a relaxer because of the color. During my quest to find an at home keratin product to use between treatments at the salon, I came across glowing reviews for the Intense RX Serum. I was skeptical, however I can attest to its strength. I've used it twice while at the salon, the first time right after shampooing without conditioner, the second time after conditioner. The outcome was the same, a great result. My hair straightened right out after blow drying and flat ironing. I also put it through rigorous motions by attending several outdoor events when humidity was super high, my hair remained in tact. I planned on using the product during every salon visit, however a stylist advised against overuse, because too much protein can break one's hair. I appreciate the advice, and will use the product as needed.

Great Boost After Having The Big Treatment Done
I had the $250 Keratin Complex treatment in the salon about two months ago. It was FABULOUS for my frizzes (not a straightener, but a smoother and non-frizzer), but it had started to wear off. I used the restructuring serum on towel-dried hair (probably 4-5 pumps of it), used a blow dryer and vented paddle brush, and flat-iron, and it really re-vamped the treatment. I think I can go a couple of more months before the "BIG" salon treatment again. I used it for two consecutive shampoos (3-4 pumps on the 2nd time I used it), then didn't need it for my latest shampoo. I think I'll use it intermittently (probably every other shampoo) until the new treatment is done. I have curly (tight curls), colored, shoulder-length hair, when straightened; thin individual strands but lots of them!

Didn't Work As Well As I Expected
I prefer to not use a flat iron, but the result isn't as good blow drying only. This DID help with the frizz, however, I still had to pass the flat iron through my hair day two and three...

Perfect For Humid States
Let me start off by saying that I am a tough critic and I rarely write reviews because I don't think it's worth my time but because of the price of this product, I figured i"d let people know that it really is worth the money
To start off, I have never had a real Keratin treatment, so it does work on hair that hasn't been previously treated with Keratin. However, it has to be used everytime you shampoo because the shampoo will strip most of the keratin from your hair.
The reason I purchased this product was because I moved to a really humid state and I just couldn't manage or style my hair. I have thin but healthy hair and previously had it permed, so when it is humid, it does this weird curl thing. No matter how much product I put in my hair, I just coulldn't get it to stay straight or to stop frizz. This product is literally magic. It makes your hair so soft and completely stops frizz and the weird behavior that humiidty causes. You do have to blow dry and straigthen your hair in order for it to work, but boy does it work. Use VERY little because if you use too much, it will make your hair too soft and flat. Because of how thin my hair is, I used it in conjunction with a thickening creme and it worked really well. The only downside is that, my hair at least, won't hold a curl when I use this product because of how soft it is. But, when I straighten it and curl it under, it looks AMAZING.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to soften their hair or want to be able to manage unruly hair in humid climates.

So Skeptical At First!
I never spend this much money on a hair product but my hair was so damaged from coloring and blowing it dry every day that I splurged. I received it two days ago. I used it immediately and saw no change in my hair. I used it again today and was kicking myself for wasting my money. I suddenly realized that I'd been outside in 95 degree, humid weather for a over two hours, working up a sweat, and my hair didn't frizz at all! Normally my hair frizzes if I THINK about humid weather. I'm a believer.

Keratin Complex
This product is wonderful. It is like having a Keratin treatment every time you wash your hair. If you add the pink Keratin Infusion in addition the effect is even better. After the blowout my hair was straight, silky and frizz free. I may not need a salon treatment for a year.

My Hair Transformed After One Use
My hair is course, dyed and weak. After one use, my hair is soft, my ends look great and I barely had to use my flat iron. Great Product. Also, people have been writing that this was recalled by AUSTRALIA gov. recently. I checked into that and it was recalled if you purchased it between JULY 2010 AND FEBRUARY 2011. www.recalls.gov.au is the website.
I will call company to make sure that I do not have one of the bottles recalled but I doubt I do since I just purchased it last week.

WINNER — Nicole Francis of Wheeling was the grand-prize winner of a dream honeymoon during the third-annual Sparkling Moments Bridal Show held Sunday at St. Florian Hall in Wintersville. On hand for the event were, from left, Todd Piergallini, owner of Piergallini Catering; Cindy Kotsch, special events and marketing coordinator for the Herald-Star and The Weirton Daily Times; Francis; and Kassy Doughty of Piergallini Catering. -- Jess Looman
"I am so excited," said Francis, who will wed fiance Derek Miller on Sept. 28. "I am still in shock and I am shaking,"
Should Francis choose the Italy trip, she and her husband will stay in Piergallini's two-story casa in Navelli, a tranquil, restored medieval village in Abruzzo, Italy. Located in the Apennine mountain range, it's an hour from the beaches of the Adriatic Sea and 90 minutes from Rome, where the winner also will enjoy a one-night stay at a hotel within walking distance from the Coliseum, Pantheon, Vatican and other sites.
Accommodations for the Florida trip are two blocks from Cocoa Beach, which is on the Atlantic Coast, just south of Cape Canaveral and near the Kennedy Space Center. The trip also includes a one-night stay at a Walt Disney World resort.
The newspapers will offer Francis $500 to be used toward airfare, said Cindy Kotsch, special events and marketing coordinator for the newspapers. Carson Travel will provide either a $50 Visa gift card and tour of the Kennedy Space Center for the trip to Florida or transfers from the airport to the hotel or a tour of Rome for the Italy trip.
"I'm not sure what destination we will choose, but I am very excited about winning," she added.
The luncheon was provided by Piergallini Catering. Major sponsors for the event include the Herald-Star, The Weirton Daily Times, Sorelle Bridal Salon, Phil-Mor Tuxedo Outlet, Anna-Kay's Unique Fashions and A Cut Above Disc Jockey Entertainment.
"This is one of the largest shows that we've seen so far," Piergallini said. "We have more vendors, more brides and more guests. It is really great to see."
"Our bridal show has quickly become a premiere bridal show for the Ohio Valley," Kotsch said. "I want to thank all of the vendors, Todd Piergallini, the brides and the guests for attending. It takes a lot of people to put this show together and I have had a lot of help to prepare for this wonderful event."
Gina Lindly, a consultant with Sorelle Bridal Salon, said they really enjoy being apart of the event each year.
"We really love this venue and we love Todd Piergallini as well," she stated. "I think that the venue is close enough to Washington to let the brides know that our salon may fit their needs. We see a lot of business from this show, we scheduled 40 appointments this year."
