Henrico's Top Teachers
Profiles of 20 outstanding Henrico educators
Teachers are a special breed. They are driven by a love of learning and a desire to impact young lives. They spend countless hours devising lesson plans, working individually with students before and after school and volunteering their time, seeking not recognition for their efforts but rather the smile of a student whose imagination has been captivated; a hug from a student who needs one in return; or the words of thanks from a student whose mind has grasped a challenging topic.
In the Henrico Citizen's first-annual 'Top Teachers' issue, we honor 20 of the finest educators in Henrico, as nominated by our readers. These are their stories.

At least McIllmurray Jr. have claimed the early bird spot
you doing this again because id love to be involved
Latest news is that Ben Goldsmith has been sacked by Wrexham and Josh Crane is now the Wrexham manager. Meanwhile Chopper is on the move again, he's now the manager of 18th place Sporting in La Liga and The Mad Scot took over at Everton.
Two players in the Hall of Fame
Oh dear, sacked..... We had been steadily improving as well...
Yeah and now all the praise will go to Josh Crane if Wrexham get promoted.
Euro 2036 Groups
In other news, The Mad Scot has been sacked by Everton and Igor Kesina has taken Whoopski Deeski's old job as manager of Amkar.
Great to see White Widow has stayed loyal to his favourite club and has promoted back into the top flight! Great challenge btw! I still followed it till the end I just lack internet now. Cant believe little White Widow got to the top, well chuffed about that! Would be great to see him get similar success in management.
Curious to know whether his disliked or liked managers would be any of the fellow players in the game?
Just 1 change into March. The Mad Scot is now manager of Premier League side Wolves.
Only holidayed another month and i'm turning it off for now.
The only thing to happen this month was White Widow leaving Lorient for PSG and Long Tym Toon Jr. becoming Spartak Moscow manager after leaving Lorient when White Widow left.
Wahoooooo Finally got a manager job and decent one of that come on Spartak Moscow
Lol looks like i liove the managerial merry go round. (4 clubs ive managed now) Is that right?
Also Josh is not like his dad Glenn. but at least one is in the HOF
Yeah, Josh is on his 4th team, not quite as many as Chopper though with 7, he has been staff a lot longer though.
Left the game holidaying while i was out and there should be an update tonight.
End of Season 2035/36
Nick Adam - A pretty good season for Swansea, finishing 9th in the Premier League. They were predicted 11th.
Bakra - Not a great season, but it could have been a lot worse. An 8th place finish, but no euro place from the play-offs. Predicted 7th.
Jimmio Bowmanaggio - Varese were predicted to finish in last place and they did, getting relegated to Serie B.
Rocky Brittus - NEC were predicted 8th this season and Rocky took them a bit further, into 6th place. He also got them the last European place.
Chopper - It seemed he'd followed his old ways, but he took Sporting to 8th place in La Liga. His old side finished 9th.
Matthew Cooper - A good season for Spurs, who were predicted 7th in the Premier League, finishing 7th.
Josh Crane - A pretty bad season for Josh with his new side. Wrexham were predicted to finish 7th, but ended up 16th.
Whoopski Deeski - What a season and proving he's got the magic touch in Russia. He took Anzhi to 1st place in the league and won the Russian Cup with them.
Simone Finke - Will have to wait and see again if Old Boys can get promoted.
Ben Goldsmith - After Millwall failed to get promoted via the play-offs this season, their manager was sacked and Ben has taken over.
Alejandro Hernandez - Alejandro took Sevilla to 6th in the league and into the Europa League, but then left to take over the Spain U-23 side in the upcoming Olympic Games in Germany.
Arie Kanarie - Arie is doing a pretty good job of taking his U-21 side to the U-21 2037 Euros, 2 more games to go and currently top of the qualifying group.
Igor Kesina - Amkar were predicted 2nd in the league this season, which was a tough ask when Igor took over, however he got them to 4th and into the Europa League.
David Le Soire - Still searching for a new job.
Long Tym Toon Jr. - Not a great first 8 games in charge and Spartak finishing 10th, but he'll have a full season next season, hopefully.
Jason McIllmurray Jr. - Jason failed to get Hamilton promoted again, finishing 2nd. However he did get his first silverware, the Challenge Cup.
Silvio Mella - Still looking for a job.
Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - Another good season for Quique and Atlas, winning the Opening Stage and the North American Champions League and finishing Runners up in the Closing Stage.
Aleksander Radakovic - Aleksander had a tough World Cup group and got through and now he has a fairly easy Euro Group to look forward too.
Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - A poor Euro qualifying campaign, finishing bottom of the group. It's unlikely they'll be qualifying for the next World Cup either.
Mathew Schneider - Mathew left struggling Livorno, who got relegated, for struggling Malaga who finished 16th in La Liga.
Stuart Shaw - For some reason Stuart turned down a job at Newcastle.
Tom Skull - A good season for West Ham and Tom, taking them back into the Premier League, having spent 2 seasons in the Championship.
Mario Spehar - Still searching for that first job, surprised he's still looking.
Jordan Swinburn - Jordan decided to retire from football after not finding a job.
The Mad Scot - Things didn't look good when he took over at Wolves and he'll be managing a Championship side next season after Wolves were relegated.
White Widow - His old side were relegated from the league while PSG finished 4th in the league, getting themselves a place in the Europa League.
Euro 2036 Group Stage
Serbia through to the next round and will play Belgium in the 2nd Round, then either Albania or Croatia in the Quarters and in the Semi's they could face Israel, N.Ireland, Georgia or Czech.
Alejandro Hernandez - Alejandro took Sevilla to 6th in the league and into the Europa League, but then left to take over the Spain U-23 side in the upcoming Olympic Games in Germany.
What a ridiculous decision! Leaves a good job for a temporary one!
WHYYYYY has Silvio not got a job yet?
Yeah, i assume it will only be temporary anyway as it'll be another 4 years before Spain U-23 play competitive games again. I'll post up the Olympic results with the Euro 2036 post soon.
Euro 2036 Knockout Stage
Serbia beaten by finalists Albania, hopefully Aleksander will still be in charge for the World Cup. Olympics stuff will be tomorrow.
In other news, there is a possibility Matthew Cooper could get the England job, we'll find out if he does, tomorrow.
It's actually ridiculous how much better I've already been as a manager than a player.
Quique Sanchez-Tredwell somehow manages to take Atlas from strength to strength...
Just checked and it was 3 from when he was a player and 3 manager of the month awards.

Looks like I'm moving up in the world, would be fantastic if I was named England manager!
I'm still holidaying but i can already see that Matthew Cooper is the new England manager.
The holy grail of becoming England manager has been achieved! *Cue holy music*
Olympics 2036
Alejandro and his Spain U-23 side just make it through to the next round. They will play Brazil U-23 next.
A promotion to the Premier League with West Ham will look good on the CV. Any chance you could tell me what league Swindon are in now and how they've been doing over the years?
Olympics 2036
Unfortunately Spain were knocked out by Brazil meaning Alejandro is now jobless.
The Mad Scot and Bakra have both been sacked lately, while Alejandro Hernandez takes over Inter Milan.
Mella? Any job? Anything at all?
Jason McIllmurray was sacked by Hamilton and Nick Adam is now Chelsea manager.
Elsewhere Mario Spehar finally decided to give up looking for a job.
Why no job
Only news going into the new year is that Jason McIllmurray is now the Dundee Utd manager
Taking over Inter! Very nice Much better than Spain U23's...
It's taken a while but Silvio Mella finally has a job. Unfortunately in a league i can't load. He's now the manager of Bahrain team Busaiteen.
Hopefully it will lead to better things though.
hahahahaha, oh dear.
Oh well, it was good while it lasted. Definitely count me in for next time around.
Latest news
Chopper is now managing his 8th club. He's still in Spain and now the manager of Atletico Madrid.
Josh Crane has been sacked by Wrexham and Rocky Brittus sacked by NEC.
Bakra is now the manager of Vitesse and having spent 5 years with Atlas, Quique Sanchez-Tredwell has joined Pachuca.
Should have an update tomorrow, but here's more latest changes
Josh Crane is now the new manager at Championship side Peterborough and Rocky Brittus is now Ipswich manager.
Any idea of Peterboroughs stats? What they have done recently, what is their financial situation, where they are predicted to finish and where they are in the league? Thanks Beamsy...KUTGW
They have spent most of the last 24 years in the championship, the odd time in League One and once in the Premier League in 2017/18 season. FA Cup highest place is 5th round, League Cup final in 2022/23 but lost and they didn't win the Johnstones Paint Trophy the 3 times they played.
End of Season 2036/37
Nick Adam - A good season for Nick and Chelsea. He took over when Chelsea were 19th in the league and got them to 8th and won the Champions League.
Bakra - Only a few games in charge but he helped Vitesse secure 4th place in the league and win the Dutch Cup.
Jimmio Bowmanaggio - Varese finished 7th in Serie B, missing the play-off places on goal difference.
Rocky Brittus - A lucky escape for Rocky and Ispwich, who finished 17th in the Premier League, staying up with 2 goals difference.
Chopper - Not a great season since leaving Sporting, but at least he didn't get Atletico relegated, they finished 9th. Sporting finished 2nd.
Matthew Cooper - Not got an easy group in the World Cup qualifying, but should still qualify, although it may be through the play-off.
Josh Crane - Failed to win any of the 8 games played since taking over Peterborough, but they were pretty much guaraneed safety anyway. finishing 21st in the Championship.
Whoopski Deeski - No league win this season for Whoopski and Anzhi, but he did get another cup, the Super Cup. Anzhi finished 7th in the league.
Simone Finke - Old Boys weren't promoted again, i'm beginning to wonder if they ever will be.
Ben Goldsmith - A good season for Ben and Millwall, who finished 6th in the Championship, but lost in the Play-off final.
Alejandro Hernandez - Inter were struggling in mid table when he took over and he did a good job, taking them to 4th place, just getting into the Champions League.
Arie Kanarie - Failed to get through the Euro U-21 qualifying last season, but his side are currently 1st for next seasons competition.
Igor Kesina - Igor did what Whoopski Deeski did when at Amkar, winning the league. Igor's first cup and hopefully more to come.
David Le Soire - Still searching for a new job.
Long Tym Toon Jr. - Did a good job in his first full season as a manager, taking Spartak to 4th in the League, getting a Europa League place.
Jason McIllmurray Jr. - Dundee were struggling most of the season at the bottom of the table and Jason helped them to 9th place in the league.
Silvio Mella - No league to mention but Busaiteen are in the Asian Confederations Cup and got through the group stage and 2nd round, the next round is played in September.
Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - Not a great decision from the Jamaican, whose former side went on to win the league closing stage. Pachuca finished 9th in the closing stage.
Aleksander Radakovic - Still doing well at Serbia and currently looking to qualify for the World Cup. Serbias group isn't too tough.
Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - It's looking the same for Bjorgvin and Iceland, currently bottom of the qualifying group and unfortunately likely to stay there.
Mathew Schneider - A better finish than last season for Malaga, finishing 10th in the league.
Stuart Shaw - Still searching for a new job.
Tom Skull - West Ham were predicted to go straight back down to the Championship, but Tom did a good job keeping them there, finishing 13th and reaching the League Cup semi-final.
The Mad Scot - Still searching for a new job.
White Widow - White Widow was sacked by PSG for finishing 5th in the League. He quickly joined fellow Ligue 1 side Nancy.
I'm wondering if Old Boys will ever get promoted too. Must be doing something right though, is that about 6 seasons in charge now?
Disappointing season, time to hit the big leagues I think.
Aw man sacked by PSG, not so good.. Come on Nancy!
Does everyone hate me or something?
We have some fairly big changes.
Matthew Cooper was sacked as England manager and Tom Skull has taken over. Cooper got them to the play-offs of qualifying, but has been sacked before he's had chance to get them to qualify, so all praise will go to Tom Skull if they qualify and do well. Matthew has now gone on to become Manchester United manager.
The N.Ireland manager failed to qualify for the World Cup and was sacked, the job has gone to Jason McIllmurray.
Elsewhere The Mad Scot is now back to managing, this time he's in Ukraine to manage top side Shakhtar, he rejected Hibernian and Dundee Utd.
Just 2 managers without a job now.
Looks like I haven't taken a massive step back after failing (unfortunately) as England manager. Hopefully my tenure at United will be better.
Long Tym doesn't seem to like bringing players in oh well got into Europe that's the main thing
Some changes that happened not long after.
Whoopski Deeski is now the new manager at CSKA and Mathew Schneider left Malaga for Gladbach.
World Cup 2038 Groups
So England failed to get through, so it's just Aleksander Radakovic again.
Elsewhere Spartak Moscow manager Long Tym Toon Jr. has been sacked.
Arghhh freck why did he get sacked
I think he was just doing badly, the last time i checked Spartak were 11th in the league.
Interesting move to CSKA, would be nice to move away from Russia though.
Let's see how McIllmurray Jr. fares with the national team. They had managed one EURO when he was playing, maybe he'll grant them one more while managing
Wow, I should be sacked already from the England job after failing to qualify when Cyprus & Hungary have
Should have an update done by tomorrow night.
Actually it'll be tonight, will do it while i listen to The Football Ramble.
End of Season 2037/38
Nick Adam - Nick was sacked by Chelsea having finished 10th in the league. He has now moved to Spain to manage Villarreal.
Bakra - A good season for Bakra who took Vitesse to 1st in the league and won them the Dutch Super Cup.
Jimmio Bowmanaggio - Still assistant at Varese who were promoted back to Serie A having finished 2nd in the league.
Rocky Brittus - Not a great season, but Ipswich were predicted 17th and Rocky took them to 14th in the Premier League.
Chopper - A very good season for Chopper who took Atletico to 2nd in the league, Villarreal ran away with the title though.
Matthew Cooper - Man Utd were in trouble when Matthew took over and he eventually got them to 16th, their lowest ever finish in the Premier League.
Josh Crane - Josh was sacked by Peterborough having basically got them relegated from the Championship, he was sacked before the end of the season though.
Whoopski Deeski - Not too bad of a season, finishing 4th in the league and reaching the Russian Cup semi-final.
Simone Finke - Still not a lot to say as Old Boys aren't promoted yet.
Ben Goldsmith - Ben did really well and got Millwall promoted to the Premier League, but then left for Stoke, who finished 2nd in the Premier League.
Alejandro Hernandez - Alejandro took Inter to 5th in Serie A and reached the Italian Cup semi-final. Europa League next season.
Arie Kanarie - Just 1 game left in the U-21 qualifying group and they should finally qualify for the competition next year.
Igor Kesina - Another good season for Amkar and Igor, winning the league, super cup and russian cup.
David Le Soire - Still looking for a new job.
Long Tym Toon Jr. - Still looking for a new job.
Jason McIllmurray Jr. - Doing ok so far and will now have to try and qualify for Euro 2040. Bjorgvin Radebe Jr and Iceland are in the same group.
Silvio Mella - Silvio and Busaiteen were knocked out of the Asian Confederations Cup in the quarter finals, by Thai team Buriram PEA FC.
Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - Pachuca finished 1st in the Closing Stage, but ended up losing out in the Semi-final. His former team Atlas won the Opening Stage.
Aleksander Radakovic - Serbia havn't won in the last 4 games, drawing 2 and losing 2. Will now take Serbia to their 2nd World Cup with him in charge.
Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - Iceland also havn't won in the last 4 games and will now aim to qualify for Euro 2040.
Mathew Schneider - Mathew took over at Gladbach when they were around 15th and ended up finishing 13th in the league.
Stuart Shaw - Still looking for a new job.
Tom Skull - Tom isn't doing too well so far for England and now he'll have to qualify for Euro 2040, their group looks pretty easy.
The Mad Scot - The ukrainian league isn't loaded at the moment, so no idea if they won the league or not. They reached the Champions League 1st Knockout Round.
White Widow - White Widow was sacked again, but he has stayed in France, taking over Stade Malherbe Caen. They finished 15th in the league.
World Cup updates later on.
World Cup 2038 Groups
Serbia are through and will play Ghana, then either Australia or China.
Ooohhh, doing well! Stoke finished 2nd?!!! hopefully that means a good squad, and Champions League as well!
Yeah, Stoke straight into the groups too.
Rocky Brittus has left Ipswich and is now managing Premier League side Portsmouth.
World Cup Knockout Round
A better show from Serbia who lost out to the winners again. They finshed 4th in the end.
Looks like I've finally got bored of relegation battles.
Wow very surprising to win the league and cup with vitesse after failing with groningen
Will I ever get another job?
Step by step Serbia get closer to that World Cup, maybe in four more years, wonder how long I will keep managing those boys.
Will be holidaying most of the day having not done any yesterday, so expect various little updates throughout, unlikely to get a end of season one done though.
Some changes
Josh Crane is now manager of League One side Crawley Town, while Alejandro Hernandez is sacked by Inter and became Fiorentina manager.
Elsewhere Long Tym Toon Jr. became manager of Anzhi and Matthew Cooper was sacked by Man Utd.

Wahooo Plenty of money spend but wonder if he will buy any players i must love Russia
Damn, sacked by Inter?! Shame, but Fiorentina is still decent
These are the latest changes into the new year, and the last for today.
Ben Goldsmith has been sacked by Stoke and Nick Adam was sacked by Villarreal and was given the Stoke job. The Villarreal job has gone to Chopper, who is now at his 9th club as a manager.
The only other news is that Mathew Schneider has left Gladbach for Premier League side Swansea.
Grr another mediocre club. Need a big club - come on get crawley up with their random money
Jeez the teams in the world cup was crazy! The groups stages were insane! But I do hope widow will make a name for himself in management, hes not doing to well unfortunately. Would love an international job of one of those teams that did rubbish in the world cup
Well well well, doesn't look as if I'll make it as a top level manager anymore if I was sacked by United, Chelsea to hopefully come calling!
No changes all the way up to May.
Now we have Ben Goldsmith taking over Swansea after Mathew Schneider was sacked.
Will have the end of season update done tomorrow.
Hi CharlesBeans, I was just wondering what CA and PA people started on for this challenge? And that I've read through it and its really good! I am about to start my own version of this, have you got any tips for me?
Have replied to your PM and the main thing to do is, not let too many people sign up or it'll take forever.

Hidden Rotary Latch And Link Kits For '53-87 Ford Trucks - New Life For An Old GateWritten by on March 28, 2011 Contributors: Courtesy Of Mar-K Hidden Rotary Latch And Link Kits For '53-87 Ford Trucks
Our beloved classic pickups have a lot of neat attributes but a rattling tailgate and those ugly, noisy tailgate chains sure ain't one of 'em. So what do ya you do: live with it, or find a way around that classic design? One great option is to get your hands on a rotary-style latch and link kit from Mar-K and convert your tailgate into a smooth operating, secure chainless version. Mar-K's kit comes with everything you need including step-by-step installation instructions.
These kits work on '53-72 Ford short Flaresides. They also have kits designed for use on '76-87 short Flaresides and '53-87 long Flaresides as well. Unlike many other latches on the market, these are rotary-style latches like the newer-model pickups use to open and close the tailgate. So, if you're tired of rattling tailgates and the paint chips associated with those old swinging chains, take a look at just what the Mar-K kit consists of and what kind of chore the installation is.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
For best results with an installation such as this it's always a good idea to start by doing what you can to make sure your gate fits your bed as best as it can.Once you've got your gate fitting as well as it's going to, the first step is to open it up and support the tailgate in the horizontal position. Next, measure down from the top spot weld seam 5/8 inch and make a mark. Then, using a combination square, draw or scribe a line 17/8 inches long inward toward the center of the tailgate.Next, measure 25/8 inches down from the previous line and make another horizontal 17/8-inch line on this mark as before. Join the ends of these two lines to create a rectangle.Create a vertical line on the edge of the tailgate from both horizontal lines. This marked area will need to be removed to allow the hidden latch to fit into the inside of the double-wall structure of the tailgate.The next step is to tape off the perimeter of the area to be removed. It is easier to see this when the sparks are flying. Start by cutting on the flat parts of the tailgate. Cut in the middle of the lines first until the cutter breaks through. Then, continue with the edge of the cutting wheel into the 90-degree corners. When you come to the bend in the tailgate end, cut through it about 1/8-inch deep.
Cutting the vertical section of material away is a little harder. Rotate the cutting tool at an angle and move into the opening until you can cut all the way to the bottom of the vertical wall. The object here is to cut the vertical section without cutting through the outside flange of the tailgate. This outside flange is seen when the tailgate is closed and is not covered up by the adapter panel.When you reach the bottom of the two vertical lines, Turn your tool back to flat but tilt it as shown. You need to cut along the bottom of the vertical sheetmetal that is left. You'll be leaving the strip of metal at the base that's spot-welded to the outside skin of the tailgate.Remove the burrs left by the cutoff wheel from the opening. Also, make sure that the measurements are correct (5/8-inch down from the seam, 2 5/8 inches tall, and 17/8 inches inward. Fit the adapter panel into the opening and check for clearance.Place the adapter panel with the latch into the hole and line it up as before. Use a clamp to hold it into this position. Mark all of the holes through the adapter panel including the long slot. Remove the adapter panel, center punch the five outer locations and drill them with a 5/32-inch drill.Center punch the two larger marks and drill with a 9/32-inch diameter drill. Center punch the two ends of the area that will be slotted and drill those with a 7/32-inch drill. Cut the area of the slot out with a rotary tool with a reinforced cutting wheel. Place some masking tape along the edges between the holes to guide you. You can do this cutting with the high-speed 3-inch tool, but you will have greater control with the smaller Dremel-type device.Once the holes are drilled and the notch cut, the next step is to bolt the rotary latch to the adapter panel by sliding the latch from the bottom up under the bracket as shown. Bolt the latch to the bracket with two 1/4-20x1/2-inch button-head cap screws. Tighten the screws with a 5/32-inch Allen wrench. Then, reinstall the adapter panel/latch assembly using the No. 10 stainless sheetmetal screws supplied in the kit.
Slide the link assembly through the slot in the adapter panel and tailgate skin. Attach the link assembly to the tailgate with two 1/4-20x1/2-inch button-head screws. Tighten the screws with an Allen wrench. It is important to notice that there is a left and right link assembly due to the pivot bracket of the link assembly. The offset part of the bracket where the rivet is should be at the bottom. This is the left (driver) side link shown installed.Thread the aluminum spacers completely onto the black knobs. Thread the knobs into the rotary latches through the slotted hole in the adapter panels. Check the operation of the latch. Lift up toward the top of the tailgate until the latch releases.Now you need to position the upper pivot for the link assembly. Fold the link assembly as it would be when the tailgate is shut and lift the tailgate to the closed position. The link should be hanging vertical. Using a 3/8-inch bit, place the drill bit through the slotted end of the link assembly as shown. Lift the drill bit to the top of the slot. Lightly drill the bedside with the drill bit just to leave a mark. Do this for both bedsides.Lower and support the tailgate once again. Measure in from the back edge of the bedside 19/16 inches at the same vertical position as the drill mark and make a mark. Center punch this position. Drill this position on each bedside with a 1/4-inch drill bit. Now drill this hole to a final size of 17/32 inch. Test-fit the supplied threaded insert into the 17/32-inch diameter hole; the insert must be installed so that its flange is against the sheetmetal surface of the bedside. The threaded insert must be expanded to stay in place. If you do not have a Nutsert tool you can go to www.mar-k.com and click on "Installation Information" on the home page. Scroll down to "Other Helpful Information" and click on "Threaded Insert Information" and they'll show you how to accomplish this task without special tools. Supplied in the kit are 5/16-inch-18 shoulder screws and washers to act as upper pivots for the link assemblies. Place the bolts through the slotted end of the links. Then, place the washer on the bolt. Thread tThe latch striker is the only thing left to do. With the tailgate in the proper closed position, make a mark on the bed just at the top of the opening of the latch area on the adapter panel as shown. The latch striker will be positioned 3/8-inch lower from this mark. It will need to be 3/8 inch from the back edge of the bedside. Center punch this mark and drill a 3/8-inch diameter hole. Bolt the strikers to the bedsides with the supplied 5/16-18x1/2-inch button-head screws.Pull up on both black knobs to release the latches. Slowly close the tailgate and watch for the strikers to enter the latch area. Continue closing the tailgate until each latch makes two clicking noises. If the latches do not close on the strikers properly loosen the strikers and adjust their position until they do. At final assembly, use a thread-locking compound on all threaded areas to prevent them from coming loose.

No SwitchButton?
I didn't see any results when grepping for 'SwitchButton' -- did it not make it into the release or was it renamed to something else?
If it wasn't included in the release, is there a chance it'll be in 3.2.1?
All the best,

About Myself:
My name is Craig although on here I go by the name of Azeryk - I've been using the forums on and off for the past 8-9 years so ignore my post count as I have a tendency of losing password. In the past couple of years I've grown to enjoy career games more and this time I intend to get a decent way into the game (20 seasons or more). As some of you may have read I am already in season 7 but have decided today to make my own thread in order to gain more feedback off other forum members - due to this some screen shots from the early seasons have been taken several years afterwards.
My aim is the same as in FM11 - to start off as a nobody in the lowest English league and go on to win the Champions League in 5 different continents - my game will be without any edits and with a starting reputation of "Sunday League".
I will start off my loading all leagues in England, Germany, Italy and Spain and will use the add/remove feature as soon as required to allow me to move on to the next stage of the challenge

With some creative thinking and cooperation from the public and private sectors, Fall River's North Park will be able to get the polish this diamond in the rough needs. Although the city takes pride in its network of three parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted — the renowned landscape architect who designed New York's Central Park — those parks have fallen into disrepair over the years.
Described by park advocates as being in "deplorable condition," North Park needed some improvements. To make the park more accessible to all, the city also plans to construct an inclusion playground — similar to the one constructed at Kennedy Park — that allows children with disabilities to use playground equipment.
There were both practical and political reasons the plan for North Park upgrades did not move forward sooner. In these tight fiscal times and with the city already carrying a heavy debt load, the City Council had little appetite for additional bonding. Politically, the council was already distrustful of the Flanagan administration's bond requests after funds were spent for unauthorized renovations to the sixth floor of Government Center. As a result, the $527,000 loan request for North Park was twice tabled — once in December by the previous council and again in January by the current council.
With a $169,752 grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund for the park improvements on the line if city funds were not authorized for the North Park improvements, Mayor Will Flanagan came back to the council with a plan to use the balance of proceeds left over from the construction of Morton Middle School. Flanagan reasoned that since middle school students regularly use the park for their physical education classes, it was an appropriate use of the leftover funds.
With the creative spending maneuver, the council signed off on the expenditure last Tuesday. It seems like a good way to take advantage of the private conservation grant funds that have been awarded and get the upgrades done without further adding to the city's debt load.
Meanwhile, the private sector and volunteers have come forward to do their part as well. Southcoast Health Systems has adopted the park near Charlton Memorial Hospital, and the Fall River Park Advocates will also identify additional funding.
The plan is to place the landmark park into a conservancy which will allow for additional grant opportunities and capital campaigns to fund maintenance and improvements. While the city will maintain ownership of the park, the establishment of a conservancy represents an excellent way to ensure the historic park is properly maintained regardless of the city's ability to care for it during tough times.
Fall River loves its parks, but some have certainly seen better days. With all parties coming together to make the necessary improvements a reality without seeking new bonding, the upgrades to North Park will be a welcome improvement for this community amenity.

I guess this is a well known fact/definition for many people. It is mentioned in many places that if $\Gamma$ is a lattice of a vector space(vector bundle/affine bundle) $V$, then there is a dual lattice $\check{\Gamma}$ in $V^* $ and the torus $V/\Gamma$ has a dual torus $V^*/\check{\Gamma}$. What does this mean? When is it meaningful? I want to know the answer because I hope that we can get an easy topological description of ("toy model" of) mirror manifold (I have to admit that I am not sure if I really understand what's "mirror manifold"). For example, if $V$ is a vector bundle and $\Gamma$ is a lattice in $V$ with some extra structure or information, how can we find a torus bundle dual to $V/\Gamma$? What kind of extra structure or information we need? If $V$ is described by local chart and transitive groups {$U_\alpha,\mu_{\alpha \beta}$}, can we find a dual set {$U^* _\alpha,\mu^* _{\alpha \beta}$} to describe $V^* $? Is it unique or canonical?
The other question is about the canonical complex structure of tangent bundle. Of course, it relate to the above question. Again, like the symplectic structure on cotangent bundle, I guess it is well known, but I really can't find any reference. One source I found is a slide of Mark Gross (http://math.mit.edu/~auroux/frg/mit08-notes/M.%20Gross%20-%20Slides%20-%20From%20affine%20manifolds%20to%20complex%20manifolds.pdf). I am not sure if this is the standard one we understand. The complex structure looks much less natural then the canonical symplectic structure.

As I sit and rack my brain to come up with a topic to write about, I watch my 3-year-old entertain himself. The way his mind works is a mystery to me.
He can sit on his Smart Cycle and pedal as he just watches television.
He sometimes will sit with his sippy cup and watch a movie such as "Cars" for the 100th time and still laugh at his favorite parts. He even sings along. When "Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts comes on the radio, he sings along to it also and knows it is from the movie. Or "Marmaduke" from which he can give you quotes.
Little Man will play with his monster trucks for hours. Sometimes they go up hills, other times through tunnels. And when he gets Mommy to play, we have races to see which one is the champion. Let me say, it takes longer than you might think since we have to race ALL 94 trucks. Yeah, all of them.
Sometimes he will "read" his books with his Tag reader. He points the pen at the words, and it reads the book to him. On occasion we have tea parties with his kitchen set. Other times, he fixes anything and everything with his tools like Handy Manny has. He's fixed his bed, my bath tub and the refrigerator. They didn't need fixed, but it made him happy. Every time my husband is in the garage working on something, Little Man has to take his tool box and tools out to help. Once, he even helped nail boards to the wall with his nail gun that is just like Daddy's. Companies make tools that are so realistic. They are so real that when his chainsaw he got for Christmas didn't cut wood, he sent the blades to Pappy's house to be sharpened, because that's one of the things Pappy does. They came back as sharp as they had left, which means they still didn't cut wood. Little Man didn't like that much. He wanted to cut wood with Daddy, and his plastic saw just wasn't cutting it. No pun intended.
The past few days I have watched Little Man move dirt from one side of our walkway to the other. I have two holes that are filled with dirt, one on each side of the walk up to our house. They will one day be flower beds. Until then, they are "construction sights" for my son. As I sat on the porch watching, he'd load his John Deere wheelbarrow with dirt from one side and haul it to the other, which is not more than 6 feet away. Then he'd dump it, load it again and take it back to the other side. He did this over and over and over again for almost an hour.
During the summer, Little Man rides on his John Deere tractor the better part of the days. He will say "Let's go for a walk." What he really means is, you walk; he'll ride his tractor all over the place. His grandmother says his grandfather lives by the same motto: "Why walk when you can ride." He sure follows that. Heaven forbid you ask him to walk with you. The world is coming to an end if he can't ride that tractor. The tractor itself is less than 2 years old and has already needed a new engine and has a whole in the tire from overuse. At least we got our money out of that birthday gift!
Well, he needed one, too. Tractors are a big thing to have at the Letusick plantation. They say "the only difference between the men and the boys is the size of their shoes and the price of their toys." I tend to agree with that. My father-in-law rides a tractor to cut our grass. My husband rides yet another tractor to cut our grass (we have a lot of grass). And then there's my son, riding his little tractor following behind.
I wish I could ride on a tractor instead of walking. I wish I could sit and play with toys for hours. I wish someone would read to me.
Oh, to be young again.

Master of Arts in Global LeadershipBob Garrett, Ph.D., Director
Designed for global-thinking leaders who aspire to forge new paradigms for working in international or multicultural environments, the Master of Arts in Global Leadership explores ways to lead in today's rapidly changing world of globalization, resurgent cultural values, religions, clashing worldviews, professional domains, and business ventures. Students must be highly motivated self-starters with innovative ideas who are eager to make a difference in the world. Global Leadership consists of connecting with people in other cultures and societies around the globe, and finding ways to exert a positive influence in their lives. Learning the intercultural skills and understanding multiethnic dynamics are crucial skills for leadership in today's increasingly multicultural and multiethnic environments.
Graduates have strong intercultural skills with a calling to Christian ministry, and often serve as 21st century missionaries, as missions mobilizers, as church planters, as kingdom professionals doing business as missions, as Ministers of Missions on a church staff, as cell group leaders or house church workers, as denominational and parachurch organization leaders, or doing nontraditional ministry in urban and intercultural settings.
Student Testimonial
"I have learned more about the love of Christ and living out my burden for the lost through the M. A. in Global Leadership program at DBU than ever before. I couldn't ask for a better institution to learn not only academics, but also how to live out servant leadership in my everyday life. I hope to take what I have learned and apply it to the mission field one day, whether that be internationally or right in my own neighborhood." - Stephanie Johnson
"A few years after college, I found myself working for an organization that plans global service projects, and I began to consider graduate school. I looked at programs at other schools, but the M.A. in Global Leadership was obviously the best fit for combining leadership skills and ministry." -Susan Williams

Why does Ubuntu not allow the GUI users to login as root at the time of system start up like administrator in Windows?
Why they are restricting us to login only through the terminal?
Because it is not recommended to do so unless you know exactly what you are doing. Root is a superuser, meaning it can do anything and everything - it is only meant for administrative tasks. Day-for-day tasks can bear a security risk that WILL be exploited if EVERYONE (or a large proportion of users) used root. Think Windows - 99% of malware and virus problems are from people using admin accounts for everyday tasks.
Let's look at an example.
What if someone breaks into your system and tells it to erase your disks? If you are running as a normal user, the only files you would (should) be able to remove are those that belong to you, and not anyone else. If, say, you had other people using the computer, their files will not be touched at all, no matter how hard you try. That means you will not be able to change any system files, and therefore your system will remain rock-solid and unaffected/uninfected.
If you run as root, however, you can wipe the hard drive entirely, probably do some damage to the hardware itself, and generally render the system unusable. Correction: anyone who can get to run a single command as root on your computer (some malicious website or an email attachment) can do that.
Take a look at http://everyjoe.com/technology/explain-why-not-log-on-as-root/ , is is a nice article that might explain it better than I did.

An example might help clarify. Assume you want to install a new service (daemon) on your machine; this is relatively new and you need to read about it and how to configure it to your needs. You will end up browsing the web a lot to find information, example configs, etc., maybe have some IRC chat to ask for more info -- none of this requires
A commonly accepted principle in computer security is always use the least possible privilege level to perform an operation. -- this reduces the risk that something bad happens because of bugs in the software or errors from the operator.

Aside from the mountains of warnings with using root, you can enable root login by logging in and performing the following from terminal:
This will first prompt you for your password then will ask you to change UNIX password. The password you enter will be for the
The Ubuntu Wiki has a great article on the depths of root and sudo within Ubuntu - caveats and pitfalls.
There are two questions here. One is, why is root login disabled by default in Ubuntu? That's been addressed by several of the posts here.
The second question is, why are graphical root logins particularly disparaged?
All the disadvantages of nongraphical root logins apply to graphical root logins too. But when you log in graphically, you run far more programs, operating in a far more complex way, than when you log in nongraphically. The entire graphical user interface and all the graphical programs needed to use a GUI effectively, would be running as root. A tiny security vulnerability in any of them would enable someone to take complete control over your system.
Logging in as root at all is not recommended in Ubuntu, but there is no consensus in the security community that it is universally a bad practice. Graphical root logins, however, are simply a bad practice, and almost all operating systems have phased them out or strongly recommend against them.
To a lesser degree, having a non-root user (especially one with the ability to perform operations as root with sudo or PolicyKit) in a graphical login presents risks. But they are far more controlled than when everything in the graphical environment must actually be running as root with unlimited capabilities. Still, for situations where security is paramount, it is usually advisable to do away with graphical interfaces altogether, which is why Ubuntu Server doesn't ship with a GUI by default and officially recommends against installing one (though it is supported to do so).
In the Windows world, you can now install Windows Server in a way that essentially eliminates the graphical user interface (technically, some elements remain, but it is very stripped down and you cannot run arbitrary graphical programs). This is based on the same reasoning.
Even if you do decide to enable root logins, please don't log in graphically as root. Enabling root logins may put you at slightly higher security risk; running an entire graphical environment as root puts you at enormously higher risk.
Additionally, with the exception of graphical administration tools that are designed to be run as root with gksu/gksudo/kdesudo, most graphical programs are not intended to be run as root. Because they are not extensively tested in this mode, they may fail or behave erratically (which would be particularly bad, since they're running as root).
Finally, even some graphical administration tools, like
Open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T or Dash home > More Apps > Installed (Expand) > Terminal).
In a terminal type or paste
In a terminal type or paste.
Add the line
The file should now read as follows:
Save the
Reboot Ubuntu 12.04 and you will see a new "Login" window (replaces the previous "Other" window) which allows for Username and Password input . Enter
I hope this helps others that need/want
as for ubuntu 12.04 LTS you can do this using root privilege:
Then you are asked to type both the username and password to login graphically. I'm assume you have already set the password for root:)
I know there are countless reason that you shouldn't login directly as root, however, there does exit some rare cases (for example in a test box running in vmware) when you really appreciated the convience of being root.
Because the root user and Administrator (in Windows) are the equivalent of a God to a computer. That user can adjust anything from file permissions to even erasing the entire file system. It is quite common for the average home user to run as the Administrator (either under that name or another name set up at first boot). Because any program executed as that user is system wide, it becomes dangerous.
The lack of control over Administrative privileges allows for virus/malware or even self-destructive issues. It is because of this that many distros, including Ubuntu, limited the transition to the high power by an extra step (a somewhat cognitive step that helps to insist that "any changes I make here are changes that are grander in scope").
Although you can't login directly as root (for the reasons that others have already explained well), you can run GUI applications as root. For example, System → Administration → Synaptic Package Manager is a graphical application that runs as root.
To run an application as root (either a text application or a GUI application), just use one of this commands:
They're almost identical. The main difference is that the first asks for your password on the terminal, the second uses a graphical dialog window.
Root really isn't advised for normal usage but sometimes you have a long list of terminal commands that need root privileges and it's just more convenient to login as root.
I use
Additional note : Ubuntu is not allowing the GUI users to login as root because Ubuntu prevent you to accidentally remove or delete important files with GUI apps (like nautilus).
With only CLI user interface, it can be reduce the risk of our mistake. But formerly we can't log in with root even in CLI mode because Ubuntu create a random password for root. Root administrative task can only be done by using the user's password with command sudo or gksu.
It's based on Debian rule.
Given that there are no good reasons to login as root, I would guess the difference between RH (allow root login) and ubuntu (do everything using sudo/gksu) is a matter of preference.
As for the other part of your question you should be able to run your graphical installation by logging in as a regular user, pressing
Root is not recommended for day to day daily task. As it provides u superuser previledges it can be misused.thus there is no option for root on login.
You should always log on as yourself and then sudo to perform actions as root. Ubuntu is set up to allow you most all access needed by default. Minor changes will take care of the rest (like adding your used to other groups). It is considered poor practice to log in as root. The industry best practice is the default set up here.
Someone able to log in as root can be a very bad thing from a security perspective.

What kind of Woot stats would be interesting?
We've brainstormed ideas like:
- Woot Speed: 4th today, 1415th all time
- Woot Quantity: 1st today, 418th all time
- Woot Revenue: 7th today, 1941st all time
- Dividing stats up by site (Woot, Wine.Woot, Shirt.Woot…)
- Dividing stats up by event type (Daily deal, Woot-Off, Woot Plus, Moofi, Reckoning…)
- Letting customers click settings to build their own leaderboard
- Woot Plus stats to show which products are the hot sellers within a single event
What kind of stats would be interesting to you guys?
29 Answers answer
Who bought the last 3 of the item. Just a thought.
Its a neat idea to have a customized leaderboard... Then after that gets going you can have a leaderboard leaderboard that shows who gets picked the most for the customized leaderboards!! (I'm actually not being overly sarcastic here... :)
Along the lines of the customized leaderboards... What if you offered a "Set Preferences" section that could offer all sorts of interesting stats about an individual's purchase habits.... I.e. What product categories do you look at most often?; what percentage of your woot time is spent on community questions vs. deals...etc... Folks can then check and follow the preferences that are of most interest to them. There's my two cents...
Most Duplicate Questions Asked
what it would take to dethrown @lichme
@lpgstock: and @okham PLEASE NO. You are giving away personal information that MAYBE I do not want the community to have. Exactly what I buy, and what my preferences are, is no one's business unless I choose to share that information. I do not mind the anonymous gathering of information, but DO NOT broadcast to the community what I buy and what my preferences are.
@morriea: I was thinking in the same line as "first sucker," which already lists user info. Y'know, "last sucker" or some such.
Sorry, all for answering the question with an honest answer.
When I read @lpgstock's post, I see it as me being able to setup these stats about me, not about you or anyone else.
As for @okham's suggestion, note that this information is available already in the "First Sucker:" and "Last Wooter to Woot:" stats that are displayed. With a script that repeatedly reads the current stats, it would be fairly easy to build a database of who bought what, though how many of each item would not be possible.
@baqui63: The words "Offer all sorts of interesting stats about an individual's purchase habits" is too much already. Again, getting anonymous data is one thing, but to "OFFER" the information means that they would need to know more about me, INDIVIDUALLY BY NAME, than I care to share. They would need to gather that information in case I decide to opt in. Also, the percentage of time that I spend on a particular part of the site is still my business...Woot would need to build a data base about me in particular, as opposed to an anonymous user. I am only NOT anonymous when I choose to participate by up-voting, answering, posting, etc...but that is strictly my choice.
@okham I like your honesty, and generally agree with you...just in disagreement this time.
By the way...I never try to be the 1st sucker.
Ratio of bacon or zombie related items to total deals. Or is that was Awesomeness rates?
No argument from me on most of what you wrote, but I think you missed the main point, which is that woot already publicly publishes the data needed for someone to write a program that continually reads the first page of a given item's forum post and builds a database of the usernames that purchased that item.
(I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to actually write said script, but it isn't long or complicated.)
Funny, amusing; don't care.
- Woot Speed: 4th today, 1415th all time
- Woot Quantity: 1st today, 418th all time
- Woot Revenue: 7th today, 1941st all time
Really, really don't care. These are internal woot stats that are of interest to you. Please keep them to yourself.
- Dividing stats up by site (Woot, Wine.Woot, Shirt.Woot…)
- Dividing stats up by event type (Daily deal, Woot-Off, Woot Plus, Moofi, Reckoning…)
- Woot Plus stats to show which products are the hot sellers within a single event
My own Leaderboard? Don't quite understand the point of this. Maybe I'm missing something. (Probably am.)
- Letting customers click settings to build their own leaderboard
The stat of 'how many have been sold' WAS interesting. Especially w/boc's.
Now that you've broken it, please don't try to 'fix' it w/superfluous stats that aren't customer oriented.
@baqui63: I understand. Believe me, I really did not miss the point... The difference is that in order for there to be a choice to share the information it MUST be gathered as opposed to MIGHT be gathered. There is a big difference. Just because somebody MIGHT do something is no reason to have it done on purpose.
By the way, I promise I am calm and smiling and having fun. In reading my posts it seems kind of like a rant. Not my intention at all. I am just not very versed in emoticons....lol.
Ok. I believe we are pretty much in agreement then (though I'm not sure that we were when this started).
As for your posts, I did not (and do not) think that they sound like a rant.
@okham: You're still OK here. Sometimes the first answer has to take a few punches. Be true to your thoughts.
It would be cool to see how many upvotes/downvotes my comments/deals had in a give time period(days, weeks, all time, etc). It would also be cool to see how many deals/questions/comments I had voted for.
Would top buyers invade personal privacy? I'd like to see who is the first person to beat out @narfcake now that he's not buying shirts anymore. How seeing who has the most First suckers or most Last Wooter to Woots? That could work I think. It wouldn't say what woots you have purchased, just how many. I think that would be P. good too.
Just throwing a couple ideas out there. @morriea how do you feel about that?
@cowboydann: lol...I do not believe what I think carries much weight around here. In fact by the lack of votes for my deals, I probably carry negative weight!!!
I feel fine about it anyway.
@cowboydann: I would be surprised if @narfcake were actually the top buyer at shirt.woot; the majority of his shirts come from the secondary market. I think he didn't get a black square until sometime in 2012, actually... I felt really stupid when I realized I had one and he didn't (in my defense, half my black square is shirts and the other half is Lock n' Lock. :)
@shawnmiller: Off the top of my head, I'd really like sales stats for the Woot Plus items on shirt.woot: just straight-up sales numbers. I'd also love to see size distributions on shirt.woot, or at least a breakdown percentage of men's/women's/kids' sizes. I'd also find "revenue rank" interesting for certain items, but it would be easy for it to be meaningless (178,294th of 570,124: um, wow?). Thanks for asking us what we might be interested in!
@neuropsychosocial: Learn something new every day :P good on him then.
@gmwhit: "Now that you've broken it, please don't try to 'fix' it w/superfluous stats that aren't customer oriented." THIS So much THIS.
@cowboydann: Just to be clear, I am not actually defending Narfcake's shirt acquisition: no one actually needs six copies of Unstealthiest Ninja I and four copies of Unstealthiest Ninja II.
(@narfcake: just think, you could have sold me one when I asked politely; instead, ALL YOUR UNNINJAS WILL BE MINE! Once I figure out how to tunnel into your nuclear fallout t-shirt bunker so I can steal them, that is...)
I'd be interested in deals.woot stats. I'd like to know what sort of things/items/categories are most popular, and most posted. Also, what vendors seem most popular, and least popular. I guess this would have to be gleaned by up/down votes and wouldn't be perfect, but could be interesting and possibly useful.
@cowboydann: Yeah, @neuropsychosocial is correct in that quite a few of mine were bought in the secondary market, along with some that were purchased under different account(s). I officially got the black square on my third Wootiversary ... which also happened to be the day that my car's odometer rolled a quarter-million (in 20+ years). Which is quite the far cry from the almost 3-million miles of this guy ...
As for most first/last ... I might be the guilty party there too, though I lost like 5 lasts in the past couple months due to Woot Plus and the site redesign losing one of the firsts. I'm down to 5 first-and-last-on-the-same-item now.
@neuropsychosocial: I told you that they're no longer in the bunker, but in the freez ... AW CRAP! SO THAT'S WHY YOU KNOW!
(Note to self: stop sharing secret shirt storage spots with fellow Wooters.)
@morriea: Sorry if I came across as grouchy...wasn't feeling well yesterday and was a little over-sensitive.
@jsimsace: Thanks for the support :)
collective blood alcohol level.
@okham: That was grouchy? really? your grouchiness needs lots of work to come across better!!...lol
@narfcake: I remain seriously amused that you "don't care" about the first/last sucker status on woot shirts and yet insert it into every possible thread; it's like shirt.woot's version of Gail Collins and the time Mitt Romney strapped Seamus the Dog onto the roof of the family car.
Hard numbers, or an option to get them, like we used to have.

When I say "song", I mean the combination of tune and words; and yes I'm probably thinking Ashkenazically here. It seems like any European old-timer I've met knows the "good old fashioned" tune for Psalm 23 (Mizmor L'Dovid, Hashem ro'i lo echsar). How old is that? More generally, what are the oldest songs still popular today?

I have heard from my uncle, who has been very active in the Jewish Music industry, that when he played the tune Ashkenazim use for singing the seder (order) of the Seder Night (Kadesh, Urchatz, etc.) for his music professor, the professor exclaimed that the tune was at least 1000 years old.
Then I sang the tune for some sefardic friends who exclaimed that they use the same tune (albeit with some Middle Eastern twists). They sang it and lo and behold it is the same tune Ashkenazim use! Who knows how old that tune is?!
Cantor Sherwood Goffin has an excellent article on these ancient "MiSinai" melodies. One example is the tune for Borchu in Maariv during the Yamim Noraim, which is at least 1100 years old!
It may be the Trop we Lain the Torah with.
I have heard (from a rabbi then in Rhode Island, who apparently had researched this, but I forget his name and, indeed, what city he was in) that many (most? all? I forget) of our (Ashkenazi) nuschaos (tunes used for prayer, not the songs but the, if you will, chants used throughout the prayer to distinguish, e.g., holiday from weekday prayers) are as old as the Maharil, which would be in line with Shalom's comment above that "a handful of tunes used in the davening -- e.g. half-kaddish before Shabbos musaf -- can be tracked clearly to the 1400s".
The Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe said in a sicha that the Skarbova niggunim ([literally means "old", these niggunim are traditionally sung on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur) were written by the Maharal. In his time there were troubles for Jews, so the Maharal asked Shmayim for davening melodies that would arouse heavenly mercy. Based on those, he established the skarbova niggunim.
The Tzemach Tzedek (third Lubavitcher Rebbe) said that skarbove niggunim were sung by the Levites in the Beis Hamikdash.
This is why these melodies are generally considered "exclusive", and Rabbonim were very Makpid not to change these tunes.
It's much harder to get older than the Levites, yet here is a niggun that has both its melody and words atrributed to the AriZal (1500s).
A note in a Moroccan siddur called "Avot uBanim" claims that the traditional Moroccan tune to "Ledavid Baruch A-onai Tzuri," which is recited by most Sepharadim before Arvit on Motzei Shabbat is said to go back to David HamMelech.
Shlomo Calerbach said the tune we use for Birchas Cohanim is from the Beis Hamikdash if that is true I do not know but Moshav Band lead singer writes it in one of his album Jackets too.
I'm not sure if it's still of interest, but regarding a tune for Mizmor L'Dovid (Psalm 23), the popular one typically sung during Seudat Shlishit on Shabbat was composed by Rabbi Ben Zion Shenker.
Here's a link to the song as sung by Cantor Leon Lissek - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJurFRxDTFQ
NPR did a story about him in 2013 titled "The Greatest Living Figure Of Chasidic Music".
People like him are the exact reason why I put so much time into researching the authors and composers of songs when preparing my YouTube videos. If the songs are still under copyright, as his are, it's very important to know.
I hope that's helpful.
See here for an article about sheet music found on a 370 year haggadah for a couple of Pesach songs. The tune for Adir Hu is very similar to one commonly used today.
The tune that we use for Kol Nidrei (Every place sings it differently, but it's the same idea.) is said to go back many, many years.
Maoz tzur and it's famous tune have been going hand in hand since the 1450's. According to wiki the tune is an adaptation of an old nonjewish song, but I don't think that would disqualify it from being included here. The content of the song was started to be written in the thirteenth century, during the crusades. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma'oz_Tzur
What the article doesn't address is that this song and it's tune are commonly sung amongst Sefardim too.
The tune Abie Rotenberg used for the song "The Place Where I Belong" (about the Sefer Torah wanting a home...) is an unknown tune which is sang in some Shuls on Yom Kippur. I will try to get more info about this a different time.

Jewish Connection
My husband ztl Rabbi Joseph H. Feinstein wrote this show in the 1970's when we lived in Los Angeles. Baruch Hashem for many years this show has been replayed and is still shown. The concluding lines of this show brings forth the similarities of the Jewish people and the Black being both having been slaves and the desire to work together and understand each other. I am still very proud when my children, grandchildren see this video. The humor of being a Jew came through with pride and joy.

They would have to sign up for a crash course in jewish words and use them asap.Goy and shiksa would be at the top of the list.They would also have to be a victim of anti semitic diatribes to understand what jews have endured for centuries.Not until those conditions have been met can they be officially known as jews.Shalom.

I am proud of being Jewish
I only discovered that I was Jewish when I was twelve years old and a girl at school told me that she wasn't allowed to associate with me any more (I thought she was my best friend) because I was "a little Yid". I had never heard such a word before and I had no idea what it meant. When I asked my mother, who was of-course, furious, she told me that her parents were Jewish, although totally non observant. She then swore me to secrecy !! Well, naturally as soon as I got to school the next day I told another older Jewish friend who explained a lot to me and had in fact, known all along who my mother was, as her mother had been at school with my mother.Why the secrecy? The reasons are many. Make no mistake Mark Miller, I have been called a good many other names too since then and you know what ? It makes me laugh. I am a Catholic, since converting to R.C.many years ago and have been roundly insulted on a good few occasions for my catholicism as well. I would and do, describe myself as a Roman Catholic Jew and I am proud to be both. How would I behave faced with a pogrom ? I have agonised over that many times and I suppose one never really knows how one would act in a given situation, until faced with the dreadful reality. I hope I would do the right thing, the decent & honourable thing. But I still identify very deeply with my Jewishness and I am glad of it. Shalom.

GTA on RDR's map?
I'm not sure if anybody has mentioned anything like this, but I'm curious how GTA would be if Rockstar built on RDR's map. Of course it would have major cities and towns, like other GTA games, but it would also have RDR's amazing landscape, and wildlife. Most of it probably wouldn't even be recognizable, but it could possibly be cool to play GTA and already know some real history about the world, and hopefully by then people have learned to swim. So many places in America use to look just like RDR. Has anybody else thought of this. I'm not saying I want this to be the next GTA, because I'm not even sure how I feel about it, but I'm just curious if RDR's map would be a good fit for a GTA game.

Why not? They already had the desert in SA.
I haven't played RDR yet, but I don't see why it can't work. Not sure if it'd be easier with the basic design already layed out

I'm sure it would be easier if they didn't have to worry about creating an environment, and I was thinking the same thing about SA. They could set up the world just like SA. Leave Tall Trees, the desert, and some farm land alone, and the rest would be city. It's weird when I play RDR and try to think about how it would look a hundred years in the future, because it's almost impossible to imagine cities with buildings as high or even higher than the ones in GTA IV, and the tiny dirt roads and paths also make it hard to imagine cars on city streets, modern bridges and highways, or towns with a lot more people in them. However, the one thing that is very easy for me to imagine is taking a dirt bike to the desert and going nuts. That would be amazing!
Btw..why haven't you played RDR, do you have a console? I remember hoping RDR would come out on PC, because I wanted to make some mods for it. Now I'm wondering if R* was trying to keep people from creating a GTA mod on that beautiful map?

I have a PS3, I got it probably six months ago now, and I have 7 games for it, but the only one I play is GTA4. I've been thinking about getting EFLC, but for a little more I could get an entirely new game (and probably still play GTA4 haha)
I do like the countryside in San An, but I've never cared much for westerns, although I have to admit RDR does look really cool. I'll probably just ask for it for Xmas, as I need a list and I never really want anything (weird huh?)
I've always thought it'd be cool if you could go to different periods in the game and everything would be different, but that would take a lot of work. Sort of like if someone modded the last gen maps together, and you could choose between 1986, 1992, and 2001(or 2) and the cars and radio stations would be different. I guess the cities, unless modded would still look out of place...

Wouldn't make sense. New Austin does not exist in the GTA world. RDR and GTA worlds are completely different as RDR is more like real life (N.W. Dickens mentions New York in one cutscene). Rockstar could create a city based on Austin, TX or something like that though.

This idea intrigued me quite a bit. I loved the thought of seeing Red Dead's environment 100 years in the future. So I decided to do some experimenting and measure the size of Liberty City and Read Dead's Blackwater to compare them size wise.
This is a map showing the relative size of the city and extra space. By comparison, Liberty City takes up about 2/3 of the Red Dead Map. West Elizabeth and Tall Trees is about the exact size and shape of Broker/Dukes.
Here it is:

Awesome job zombienm, interesting to see Mexico is bigger than both Alderney and Algonquin and it's surrounding Islands, hope the next place GTA is set is the same size as RDR or even bigger, RDR felt massive due to the massive landscapes and wastelands, so trying to imagine a City in that kind of space is interesting.

Oh wow, I had thought this topic was dead back in October. Great job zombienm! Just to make it clear for the people who didn't completely understand what I was talking about. RDR's map is supposed to represent America's past. I just think it would be cool if R* could just take things into the future. It would look just like GTA..no difference. Just the world would have history. For example, if you took GTA IV back 100 years, it would probably look something like RDR, but with GTA IV's map.

The Sadara complex, one of the world's largest chemicals plants, is expected to produce more than 3 million tpy of petrochemicals once it is completed in 2016. Khalid al-Falih, CEO of Saudi Aramco, said in 2011 that Sadara would require large amounts of debt finance, and it was considering various options.
By SUMMER SAID
Sadara, the $19.3 billion petrochemical joint venture between
state oil giant Saudi Aramco and Dow Chemical, said it has
signed loan facilities worth $10.5 billion to
provide additional financing for its giant chemical plant in
Jubail on the Gulf coast.
The bank facilities agreement was signed with
Export Development Bank Canada, Islamic Development Bank, the
Saudi Public Investment Fund and export credit agencies, the
firm said in a statement posted on the Saudi bourse
The loans will run until June 30, 2025 with the first draw
of financing expected during the third quarter of this
In April, Sadara said it had increased the size of an
Islamic bond, or sukuk, to $2 billion from the initial offering
size of $1.40 billion due to strong demand. The total aggregate
amount of financing to be obtained for the project will now be around $12.50
billion, Sadara said.
The Sadara complex, one of the world's largest chemicals
plants, is expected to produce more than 3 million tons of petrochemicals each year once it is
completed in 2016.
Khalid al-Falih, CEO of Saudi Aramco, said in 2011 that
Sadara would require large amounts of debt finance, and it was
considering various options.
Saudi Arabia is pouring billions of dollars into developing
its petrochemical industry to add value
to its vast hydrocarbon resources and create jobs for
its young and growing population.
The Sadara project represents Aramco's second
major investment in a large scale petrochemical complex in the
kingdom. It is already involved in a joint venture with
Sumitomo Chemical Co in Rabigh on the Red Sea.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Is 2016 the peak for US gasoline demand?

I just started playing this game, and I'm wondering what differences there are in gameplay between the Holy and Unholy trees. Does either tree have powers that are unique in functionality to each tree and not just analogous to each other? Are there any powers that give you an advantage in gameplay?
The holy tree focuses mainly on Dante's Holy Cross attack, which is more of a ranged attack that damages foes at a distance. The Unholy tree focuses on Death's Scythe, which is a close range/combo weapon. If you have a preference for one weapon over another, that might inform your decision.
Some people find the Cross to be a bit button-mashy, and the Scythe to be a bit more 'skillful' but that's more personal preference than anything else.
The consensus surrounding skills is that Divine Armor (in the Holy skill tree) is among the most valuable skills. It can protect you and heal you at higher levels. The Unholy tree has many high-damage output attacks though.
You don't have to choose one path, although specializing early to get Divine Armor up to level 2 or 3 sounds like a winning strategy.
