I will be starting up a game on this challenge soon. Is there a list anywhere of original BSP/BSN/BSS teams, or is it actually easier to check the graphs in game?
Looking forward to getting mine going
Found a post in here explaining how to view promoted teams, I am sure I looked everywhere, obviously not hard enough.
I will start in the next 24 hours!

Margate FC - Season 2 - Final League Table - Fixtures 1 2 - Facilities - Transfers
This was the most boring season I've played in FM until March 13th. I got my wish for a striker in the forms of both Maciej Niedzwiecki (YP01) and Peter Gabriel (YP02). Since then it's been a lot more exciting with Maciej scoring 4 goals to end the season, which is hopefully a sign of things to come.

Slich- Its a shame that you are having a break but what a great season to end with!
Donald- it may have been dull but boring is a dam sight better than being relegated! some good prospects have made this a good season
I'll be joining in later today, just reloading until I get a side come up with less than 1000 reputation.
So far I have a save game with AFC Hornchurch - 1100 Rep, Hitchin Town - 1050 Rep & Hastings United 1000 rep & Adequate Junior Coaching.
Hastings United is really tempting me and they came up on the save game where AFC Hornchurch also came up.
Tony- Glad to see another challenger. Do you not think it will be a bit hard to keep up a side with < than 1000 rep
Ri, i've decided to give my new youngster a special tag (SYP01) - Meaning Special Youth Player 01
I think we should tag players with this who are clearly something special? He's come in at 5 stars CA and 5 stars PA, with a coach saying he'll become a good Premier League player.
Screenshot pleaseHe's come in at 5 stars CA and 5 stars PA, with a coach saying he'll become a good Premier League player.
TM- Thats fine but can we have a screenshot please!? :P He could be the best youth through so far.
EDIT: beaten to it.
April fools?
Thankfully, this is no April Fools Here is my not so special Youth Intake
Compared to last season, this years youth intake was disappointing apart from 2 players.

Brett Smart SYP01 Report
I desperately needed some defenders and a keeper, so I've got mixed emotions about it.
You'll do well to hold onto him long!
Alright, after failing with minows Truro (FM11) in my last attempt (Tony Hawker - I wouldn't recomend sub-1000 rep teams), I've decided to try again with one of the bigger teams. Not Salisbury, as I couldn't bear to pick a side with Professional status, but I will be taking over the next biggest reputation club... Sutton Utd
Have completed the first seaason, and will post the update shortly, however speaking of April fools, I did get this update, which had me thinking I'd hit the jackpot until I realised what day it was:
Well I've decided to go with Hastings United:
Manager Profile
Hastings United Overview
Hastings General Information
Hastings Facilities
Boardroom Overview
Key Players:
Emmanuel O'Kane (ST)
Karl Smith (AM/L)
We actually have quite a strong team and I'd be disappointed if we didn't survive.
Also, is there anything against organizing friendlies for every day?
As for my game. I think this is the beginning of the end for my Margate side. I released first team players to make way for the youngsters...a bit too soon in hindsight. We're already in the relegation zone... It'll all come down to Mr. Sledgehammer I think. This is the first challenge I've had a go at, and the first tactic I've built that I've stuck with for so long.
I'll try to get Ashton Utd (900 rep, unlikely) next time I think. I'm sick of BSS.
Tony Hawker, I think Ri has spoken about this before at some point, it's not against the rules, but would prefer if you tried to keep things as realistic as possible, but like I said, not against the rules if you decide to
Now the hard part, to force yourself to drop him for games when he needs rest!
Finding it hard here with my young star! Have a home game coming up against 21st place, so finally feel comfortable giving the kid a weeks holiday rest after a run of 3 weeks with weekend and midweek games and he needing a rest.

League / Domestic Cups
After having managed a paper thin Truro squad which constantly required top-ups from the U18 side, I was blown away with the depth of the Sutton United squad, with plenty of players in every position (except for GK, which was very weak), and they even had 3 current international players (from the might nations of Eritrea (182nd), Suriname (128th), and Gambia (118th)). With this squad, I entered the season hoping for promotion at the first attempt, and that's exactly what happened, clinching the title with one game to go!
2012 League Table and Graph
Despite the good form in the league, this didn't equate to good cup runs, being knocked out of the FA Cup at the first hurdle and only reaching the 2nd Round of the FA Trophy
Star Players
BSS Player of the Season - Simon Whaley
Of the 3 Sutton Utd players nominated for BSS Player of the season, I thought that 27 year old winger Whaley was the least worthy winner, but that said, his physical and technical attributes are amazing for this level. At 27 he is one of the older players in the starting XI, but should have a few good years left before he needs replacing
Fan's Player of the Season - Oliver Nicholas
This 20 year old Eritrean central defender, a product of the Arsenal youth system, was also nominated for BSS Player of the Season, and in my opinion was the best player in the squad, which at 20 years old is quite an achievement. Not only that, but he has already been called up for Eritrea, and despite only playing 1 game has been made captain. He has great physical attributes for a 20 year old, and his average rating of 7.43 was a new club record.
Top Goalscorer - Martin Reilly
The third player to be nominated for BSS Player of the Season, this 25 year old Irish striker is probably not in the same league as the top two players, but still too good for the BSS, and with 25 goals and 13 assists from 44 appearances at 7.16, he was by far Sutton's top goalscorer.
Best U18 Player - Gary White
Unlike my experience with Truro where I was forced to blood a host of U18 players, due to the depth of the squad I inherited I wasn't made to play any U18 players, and therefore 16 year old right back Gary White was the only U18 player to make an appearance for the senior team, and the 2 appearances he did make were the last two games of the season, when the title race was over. Whilst his current attributes aren't anything flash, my coach thinks he has the potential to be a good BSP right back, so let's see what happens.
2012 Seasonal Best XI
Despite being $4k under my $9k / week wage budget, I still managed to post a $250k loss, but with any luck I should be able to recoup that in the BSP next season!
2012 Finances
Training Facilities: Adequate
Youth Facilities: Basic
Youth Recruitment: Basic
Despite inheriting quite a talented squad, I was still very glad to take out the BSS title and avoid the pain of having to go through the playoffs, but next season will be the real test - my next batch of youth players aren't setting the world on fire, so I will be looking for more improvement from my inherited squad that did so well this season.

Congratulations Marky Mark on a fantastic season Keep up the good work!
Another thing I do, to add an extra challenge (something that was in the rules, but has been dropped this year) is not hire any external staff either, but rather try and move my existing players onto staff contracts at the end of their playing career (currently I have 1 player/assistant manager, 1 coach, and no physio!). Does anyone else do this or any other 'optional' challenges?
I'm getting my just desserts now though. With my star YP breaking his leg, and my current league position.
I am thinking of quitting Margate, then having another go with a different team after trying to improve my tactical prowess.
Edit: At least we're not Liverpool. <<<< Match of the Day 2 spoiler

I would have used the staff optional challenge, except we had no staff at all, it was just the chairman, also managed to upgrade the junior coaching, it's now average!

Season 2015 - 2016 End Of Season Report
Chester - League 2 - First Season
This was my first season in League 2 and the Football Leagues, a massive achievement for the club! Initially, I knew that this would be a very tough season and I set myself a few goals which I will now outline...
Season 2015/2016 Goals
League Table - League 2 | Fixtures - January To June | Squad - Team Stats | Youth Intake - March 2016
- Avoid Relegation - Achieved
- Wages Below 10k - Achieved (Below 8k)
- Have a player score a hatrick - Not Achieved
- Maintain Good Finances - Achieved (£748k)
A very strong end to the season after a run of only 1 win in 16 games, we won 4 out of our last 6! The victory over Stevenage ensured our survival from relegation as they were 23rd and we won that match in style! We were also the team to end Exeter's hopes of survival after our 1 - 0 victory ensured their relegation from League 2. Finally, to prove how many strides we've made over the last 2 seasons, we managed to beat Luton (4-2) in our last game of the season. Some of you may remember my infamous loss to Luton 3 seasons ago in the BSP, where we lost 8 - 0! This was a sort of pay back for this growing squad of players.
On another note, I am unsure if my actions at the end of last season and the start of this season may have been the reason why we struggled this season, letting several original players leave and bringing through my YP's + other youth players, but we will never know and despite our problems, I feel I have done the right thing, as this should secure our long term plan. The original players were getting old and the only way I could see us securing our future was to go with the youth players development, whether they were YP's or not.
League Cup
Our first venture into the League Cup, with our first opponent in Round 1 being Huddersfield Town! As you would imagine, we didn't fair too well against this Championship side, beaten 2 - 0... I feel the scoreline was respectable considering the major revamp I had put in place.
Johnstone's Paint Trophy
2nd Round North: Bury 0 - 1 Chester
Quarter Final North: Bradford 0 - 0 Chester (W - Penalties)
Semi Final North: Carlisle 1 - 0 Chester
We were knocked out by a very good side in Carlisle and I think that we did well to reach the Semi-Final North! Hopefully next season we can step it up a notch.
FA Cup
1st Round: Dag & Red 1 - 2 Chester
2nd Round: Crawley 1 - 1 Chester
2nd Round Replay: Chester 2 - 1 Crawley (After ET)
3rd Round: Luton 0 - 0 Chester
3rd Round Replay: Chester 1 - 0 Luton (After ET)
4th Round: Bournemouth 2 - 1 Chester
Once again we reached the FA Cup 4th Round and this time round we got lucky with the draw, with League 1 Bournemouth the only thing standing in our way of reaching a record 5th round! Unfortunately, they were just too good for us... Despite the scoreline only being 2 - 1, they dominated every area of the pitch and the scoreline flattered us really. Unfortunately this meant that we didn't get the sort of money we were looking for and I wish we had been drawn against a bigger side.
Club Finances | Club Transfers | Junior Coaching Upgrade
This season, our club finances have dropped, but we are still going very strong in that department thankfully and to top of our season of survival, we got some brilliant news on 1st June, as the board accepted my request of an upgrade to the Junior Coaching, bringing us up to Exceptional! Very pleased with this outcome!

Brett Smart is wanted by 5 clubs. Eep.
Edit: I'm tempted to be Oxford City. They haven't bought or sold anyone yet, so they're a huge challenge. Their ground is also on a farm. Exciting.

Life is about to become more difficult than I had planned, with John Danby (my goalkeeper) deciding to hang up his boots are 34 years old, despite a last minute attempt to try to convince him to play on... I've now got no keeper with experience or the ability for League 2 I have my youth goalkeepers, but i'm unsure how things will turn out.
Sorry if it's been asked before but can we sign players from trial days, it's an intake, kind of? haha.
Raised over £300k from pre-season tournaments
New board, back in tha black with my finances, and junior coaching now at excellent Happy days!
Unfortunately, my FC United of Manchester save is no more. Had a problem with the computer, and it is gone... which was so annoying as it was going pretty well.
So, I have managed to get a new computer, and am starting this challenge again, but with a different team.
Yes, I have gone with Chester like many others, but hopefully a push for promotion early can be good.
Here is my profile
I have also managed to get the board to agree to upgrade Youth Recruitment and Junior Coaching already as well.
Weymouth have just claimed their first league scalp ever
Carshalton Atheltic Do The Double!!!!!
Well Well Well to my surprise we were sitting pretty close to the top then started to turn the pressure on Hereford who started to falter and it all hung on the last game of season i had the 2 point advantage over them and i knew i had to win if i wanted to win the League we were playing my hometown team Darlington so i thought to myself that it was going to bite me on my A** but it didnt and we ran it out 1-0 after a few squeeky bum moments we deserved the titile and it was a big surprise to me that we managed to win the league

Ambitions for next season : Survive
Hendon 2019/20 - BSP
League Table : Fantastic never dropped out of the top 3 and won the title on the final game on sheer goal differnece.
Fa Cup : out at first try
Fa Trophy : cant believe i won this. what a great run. had to play crewe who i beat to the title on GD and destroyed em 4-0
Squad : Worried about the amount conceded, that is prob due to the goalie being only 17, more experience should help him. but the amount of goals scored was ridiculous. i retrained my 2 strikers to play in the wings which both were already competant at and changed the tactics to try and help the defence, it worked as i conceded less in the final few games.
Youth Intake : very pleased with this one a good goalie and ST with hopefully some Mc's will come through. 2 players get tags this year
Oumar Gourieer YP08 : REPORT very promising GK expected to far exceed my current GK.
Lionel Rutherford YP09 : REPORT can play AMR/L/ST so very ideal for my new tactic, had a few games in the end season scored a few looks very promising
Key Player
Leke Ndah : lethal infront of goal scored from the centre and both wings.
Samuel Wood YP04: same as Leke clinical. between these 2 ST's 10 Hattricks were scored (Dig a Tactical Master )
And the Board Announce : this might put the club in a bit of debt eek!

Just went on a 3 win streak and I lose my 2 full backs to injury, my ONLY backup comes on and gets injured too. Then have a player controversially sent off and my GK is injured in training.... all in one week. This is going to be fun!
so much stuff to get through, will reply to everything tomorrow as I am knackered!
I am actually insulted as Wigan have offered £14k for Brett Smart...
I'm coming up to the end of the 2017/18 season with Northwich, and the axe will fall on a lot of players in June.
I've just had a count, and all the teams (U18, reserves and first team), I have 73 players! 6 Keepers (1 will go), and 67 outfield players (about 30 will go)!
Oh, and my highest earner will be leaving the club, so that will be £600/week saved straight away.
While I'm at it, I'll stake my claim for a Hall of fame place.
Clean sheets by a youth keeper in a season - Bradley Power YP02-2. 17 in 2016/17 I'll upload the proof at the end of the season, but at the current rate, he could beat that record, as he has 15 already this season, and 5 games left to play (could be 7 or 8 yet, but it's looking doubtful we'll make the playoffs now.)

Hendon 2017/18 mid-season update
Poor cup showing, but our league form is steady, consistent and good. 40 points has been reached already, so we should be safe already...no-one's particularly shining though
Also got offered a job at Walsall and Hereford, on the same day too....needless to say I rejected.
In October with Lowestoft, eagerly anticipating my first batch of youths!
Youth Intake
Ben Evans YP11 is that standout amongst the lot, I think if I can improve his finishing he can become a great player for the club.
Having finished pre season, a superb first two games of BSN life has come about. Firstly, beating relegated Braintree 2-1 away is a great result.
We then faced Worcester in our first home game, which was announced to be a fan day, and brought about a bumper 3263 crowd.
To say that I could not have asked for a better scoreline and display would be an understatement.
Long may this continue!
Goldyrulz, fantastic match right there Keep it up and you will get promotion!
I'm going to start over again, St Albans as i got it only has 7 subs of which 3 are GK so not much u can do with that.
Will update later
Gratz Hawker a few straight for 1st team and a lot for the futur
I have a question: How can i put YP01 behind the names of the new youth players??
Northwich Victoria - 2017/18
Cups first for a change ....
As you can see, an astounding season in the cups, ending in a top notch match at Wembley where BSP team Eastbourne Boro were demolished 4-0. The only downside was that with all those extra games, we had a lot of re-arranged matches which led to fixture congestion right through to the end of March. In the FA Cup, L1 side Fleetwood were taken the distance, with the replay being televised. Unfortunately, they were better at penalties than we wereCode:Competition Round Opponent Location Score Attendance FA Cup Q2 Hemel Hempstead Home 2-0 951 FA Cup Q3 Stafford Home 2-0 889 FA Cup Q4 Stockport County Home 0-0 2015 FA Cup Q4 (R) Stockport County Away 1-2 1992 FA Cup 1 Fleetwood Home 1-1 4028 FA Cup 1 (R) Fleetwood (TV) Away p1-1 4540 FA Trophy Q3 Hyde Home 3-2 493 FA Trophy 1 Chasetown Away 1-2 139 FA Trophy 2 FC Halifax Away 1-2 812 FA Trophy 3 Tamworth Home 1-1 571 FA Trophy 3 (R) Tamworth Away 1-1p 1155 FA Trophy 4 Chester Home 1-0 674 FA Trophy SF1 Mansfield Away Postponed FA Trophy SF1 Mansfield Home 1-0 1848 FA Trophy SF2 Mansfield Away 3-3 1695 FA Trophy F Eastbourne Boro Neutral 0-4 19362 WINNERS!
In the league, our form was patchy, mainly because of all the extra cup games. It meant that the players were tired most of the time, so I had to keep chopping and changing the team to try and keep everyone as fit as possible. The fixture congestion at times was horrendous, especially at the end of March when the original SF 1st leg against Mansfield was postponed. That meant I then had a run of 7 games in 17 days (listed below).
21/3 Stalybridge (a) 2-0
24/3 Mansfield (h) 1-0
27/3 Mansfield (a) 3-3
31/3 Solihull (a) 2-1
2/4 Lowestoft (h) 3-1
4/4 Barrow (h) 1-0
7/4 Hereford (h) 0-2
For some strange reason after the Hereford game, I had 7 players who needed resting..... Anyway, the teams form was patchy through out the season, but once again, another strong run in meant we finished reasonably well, with 2 wins and 2 draws in the final 4 league games meant we finished 11th with 62 points. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, as my goal was to get into the playoffs again, but under the circumstances, I'm satisfied with how the season finished. The highlight of the season however, was 6 games in. We were away to Port Vale, and they were 1 of the favourites for promotion this season. At half time, the score was 1-1. It didn't finish that way ....

Having to chop and change too much.
A new chairman took over the club at the beginning of February, and the first thing he did was take out a loan of £215,000 to get the club back into the black. Thankfully, the loan repayments are only £1476 a month. I wasn't to disappointed, as despite 2 strong cup runs and a strong (financially) pre-season, we were on course to make a healthy profit, but would still be roughly £130,000 in the red (at the time of writing this). One benfit though, was that the new chairman agreed at the start of March to increase the clubs junior coaching to excellent. However, my youth intake was worse than the previous 2 seasons when it was only rated as good. However, Wally Weston (report card) and David Russell (report card) did stand out, so they will get the YP tags this year.
Youth Players
I've used a few more players this season, so here's a quick summary of how they have managed in the team this season (8 games minimum)
Lenders and Beck are getting better and better with each season, while Daniel Jones has massively improved this year.Code:Player Pos. Games Con. CS. Goals Assist MoM Red Yellow Av.

Special mention though for Bradley Power YP02-2. He kept 20 clean sheets during the season.
Transfers - I'm clean. There will be a lot more activity next season, as I'm having a massive clear out. I've currently got 73 players at the club.
Overall, a good, solid and unspectacular season. For next season, my aims are playoffs minimum, 2nd round of the FA cup, get the wage bill down (currently £330,000/year) and stay in the black. The future's bright. the future's Green
Sorry for the long post, but there has been a lot to report for the season. I've also taken the liberty of bolding the links to the screen shots to make them stand out a bit more.
Avramski - Congrats on winning the FA Trophy. I could never do well in that competition, always failed at the first hurdle..

I'm the 3rd manager to win the FA Trophy. Quite a nice payout for a day at Wembley as well
Well done on the cup victory Avramski, but it does appear that it hurt your league form
Yeah. I may just put out a team of youngsters for Q3 this season, as I was having to make 3 or 4 changes for nearly every match. Out of the 2 cups, I much prefer a half decent run in the FA Cup, as you get better prize money and more people through the gates. 2nd round will do me, as that will generate quite a bit of money.
Mind you, I'll not say no to Man Utd away in the 3rd round
EDIT :: Nicely timed boost for the team. It has been announced just before the start of the season that 3 of the favourites for promotion (Hereford, Port Vale ans Stockport), have been deducted 10 points for going into administration.

Northampton 4 - 5 Chester
The most amazing match i've ever been involved in! At half time we were 2 down, so for the first time in a while I re-introduced the hair dryer treatment! Soon enough we were 3 down, but 8 minute later Sarcevic turned up with a special goal as he has done so often. Then it appeared to be all over and looked to be getting worse 4 minutes later as Jack Smith scored his 4th for Northampton, bringing the score to 4 - 1... I moved some players around and introduced Lewis Jones for the 12th time since his career began in 2011! It was desperate times with Petrillo and Smart away on International duty and some how we won 5 - 4!!!
[Edit] My Assistant Manager and my Captain have both praised my post match, whilst Kyle Pope has revealed my anger from the half time teamtalk

Finally getting some playing time!
I'm lagging behind in just my second season but we are pulling away from the drop zone with a recent run of 10 games unbeaten, however, only with 3 wins!!!
League table / Fixtures
Ok so 2nd season in League 2 and I'm in 4th and just 2 points off 3rd (automatic promotion place) with 3 games to go. Squeaky bum time as SAF would say!
I got Fulham on the 3rd round heat them and then played Wigan but got beat by them wtf haha!!
What's everyone's biggest scalp?? In the cups
Hastings United - Blue Square South - 2012/2013
League Table - A good first season, we did hit the relegation zone, but from March our form got a lot better!
FA Cup - Lost in the 2nd Qualifying Round against Dover.
FA Trophy - I made it a bit further in this, beating Margate & Chelmsford 1-0 before losing 1-0 to Hinckley in the 2nd Round.
Squad - We have a good squad even though we are a little top heavy.
Key Players:
Joe Barney (D C/R)
Jason Tillen (YP1) (ST) - He joined us in March, 9 games 6 goals, his stats dropped a bit but hopefully good things will come next season.
Transfers - or lack of.
Code:Season Division Position Achievements 2012/13 Blue Square South 17th Survived
Good solid first season Hawker Jason Tillen looks great for that league, so I think you can expect lots of goals next season
How do I not concede so often from corners It's so so frustrating, probably 1 a game on average.
Edit: Arghh! Both of my main strikers have had to go off in the first 10 minutes! We're one nil up but it's very nervy already..
haha! Promoted! League 1 baby, here we come!
Full update later.

Fantastic stuff TWFL!!! Look at that attendance!!!
Amazing work with Carshalton TWFL!
Halfway through my first season with Lowestoft, after a good start we are playing awfully. We've been really unlucky with injuries, losing our 2 best players for 4 months each.
I'm just hoping for some good youths.

Manuele De Petrillo Capped For San Marino
An amazing moment as Petrillo finally breaks into the San Marino fold!
Just got my first youth intake with Lowestoft!
2 players got the tag, but it could be more.
Ronnie Edwards YP01
Richard Skerritt YP02
Both could develop well but I am very concerned at the lack of central defenders in the intake.
Grats TWFL! League One baby!
Weymouth FC Summary - Season 2015-16
Season 4 Targets
* Promotion! Not as big a reach as once imagined, but still a tough ask right now Achieved!! Finished 2nd, won the play-offs
* Maintain wage bill. Original YPs are now signing new contracts and original players are now leaving. A balancing act. Achieved, ran most of the season at around 1,900 pw
* A decent cup run. Would definitely help finances. Achieved. Made it to the FA Cup 3rd round
* Operate in profit again. Achieved, but only just and thanks to the 2 play off home games with bumper crowds
What a year and where oh where did my fingernails go!
For the second year in a row we got out of the gates at a slower than expected pace, but we were able to gradually build our momentum and challenge for honours. Ultimately we fell short of claiming the first piece of silverware of my reign, but 3 very good play-off games saw us promoted!
Play-off semi final opponents were one of our listed rivals, Dorchester. Going into the game we had won only 1 of our previous 9 encounters, but a gutsy 3-2 away win in the away leg was followed by a tight 1-0 home win and we were going to be playing in theclubs biggest game for quite some time.
Play off final opponents were Welling, who we had also struggled against. One win in 6 meetings against them. This night though was nothing short of spectacular and the best Weymouth performance of the season was saved for the last game of the season. A mammoth 5-1 result and a fitting MoM finale for Sam Bryant with 2 goals and 2 assists.
Final League Table
The FA Cup run provided the fans with a lot of entertainment as well, including our first ever league scalp when we traveled to Kenilworth Road and beat L2 Luton Town in round 2. Round 3 saw a home tie against top of L2 Port Vale and reality set back in with a comprehensive 0-4 loss.
The FA Trophy run was short lived and best forgotten!
Youth Intake
The pre-season saw the board agree for the 4th pre-season in a row to improve our junior coaching, this time resulting in it being ranked as 'Excellent'. It is now costing us just over 21,000 per month in youth set-up costs, so financially we are set up to live or die by the (youth) sword.
This years intake of youth was again pleasing. Four players were tagged YP 4x, with the top prospect being Nathan Clark (YP 4a) Report Card | Starting Attributes. A natural DM or MC, I am hoping he will form a long lasting partnership with last years uber talent Sam Bryant (YP 3a).
For the first time I did not just sign all of the youths to youth deals, infact more than half were let go once their youth trials expired.
Additionally, around a dozen youth players from the first couple of intake are being let go when their contracts expire this summer.
I am very happy with the midfield and attack for the years ahead (barring any talent poaching from higher reputation clubs), but I am beginning to become very concerned about my defence and goalkeeping situation.
I have always had a leaky defence, but the initial year 1 youth intake defenders I received are failing to live up to the immediate excitement.
My GK has been the same for all 4 seasons and is constantly the brunt of my backroom staff's advice to drop him due to poor form, with not one good youth intake option to appear.
As it stands in my first year in the BSP coming up, I need to score more than I concede. Sounds blatantly obvious, but I do not see (m)any clean sheets in my future.

Quick side note, my updates will probably slow down a little here for the near future. Started a new job today and going to cut into playing time. Still playing, still grinding
Braumiller - well done on getting out I hope the youths still fare well enough in the BSP!
Braumiller- Congrats on a wonderful promotion! it must be satisfying to have completely followed your 4 year plan
Big news from me! Blue Square South side Hastings United are through to the FA Cup 3rd Round after beating Coventry 2-1 AWAY from home! Coventry are currently 5th in League 1 and we're in the Third Round against Plymouth!
Well mid way through season (Jan 1st) the board gave me the chance to change my objectives. So I have, from avoid relegation to Mid Table finish. I am actually aiming for playoffs as I am currently about 3 points off them but I didn't want to set expectations too high! Also changed my tactics, they are still just as attacking as before but now my players are allowed a bit more freedom. by statistics we are one of the best defences in the league so It was time for a change as this season I have no prolific top scorer (Best at 7 and he is a winger!) So I changed my defensive forward to a poacher!
Drew. Lowestoft Town. League One. 2021/2022.
Table - We survived, that's the important thing, we were doing quite well until Christmas and then it kind of fell apart, but we won just enough games in the final seven or eight games to get enough points to beat the drop.
Aradavan Dobinson YP1 played a few times, was rubbish, will be released.
Glen Franks YP4 was solid, nothing special.
Ollie Driver YP5 again, solid but nothing special, didn't get as much goals as I had hoped.
Christian Frew YP6 solid enough, chipped in with some goals and assists.
Kenny Stockwell YP7 recurring them here, solid but nothing special.
Luke Southgate YP9 hardly played, will be sent out on loan next season.
Ollie Hooper YP10 impressed with this kid, I have a feeling he'll be vital for us for years to come.

When I'm searching for ways getting into app development PhoneGap comes as first and most familiar language stack development method.

Why and why not I should start learning Objective-C to get into app development?

As a Instructors we all like to teach when the class is full ( as long as we have a reasonable number of bikes in the club ). Personally I feel most comfortable to teach maximum 20 people but some of my friends have classes with over 40 bikes available! Let's stay with my number.
If more people are coming managers more satisfied are as it "pays off'. It all sounds very clear but when you start your job as a Spinning® Instructor working with a big number of participants ain't that easy. Teaching off the bike is crucial, because you won't the see whole posture from a distance and you don't have much control on people's safety. Walk around the room, take your time, search for signs that can alert you.
First of all create a good, positive atmosphere in your class. People are here to have fun, to get rid of stress and get results from work. Remember your students names, it will help you to connect with them and they won't feel anonymous ! It is like exercising in friendly but known group. Let them feel they are in the center of your attention.
Try to come earlier before your classes, talk with clients for a while. Same when you are finishing your ride, if possible have a chat. Ask them questions : Why are you training? What is your goal? Do you do any other sports? How is your health? etc. Those questions will help you to get a certain image of a person who joins your classes. Later on you can suggest new resolutions, check someone's progression or help with common problems,that people around the world are dealing with.
From my point of view one of the most important thing to remember is to "create a group" of people who are exercising to become fit and let them identify with it. For example if I teach Tuesday and Thursday in the same club, I always talk to people about their goals and what is the plan of work if they come to my classes. I also inform them what are we going to do in the next weeks or even months. I love Spinning® because you can give so many options depending on a people who are riding same hour!
When Spinning® is new in the club as a form of activity I often go to people in a gym or in a cardio area and have a short chat. First I ask if they have ever been to such a class, then I invite them to try it with me, so later they will go on their own. And you know what? It is working!
Although Spinning® is very popular, not everybody knows exactly what it is.. so let's show it and explain it to the new customers.

Hi guys
Now I have to try this pole thing. But I have a few questions:
A) Should I select Series one or two? - does the complete series two extends higher or is it just sturdier?
B) If I just wanted one half to start up with - should I buy the series one or series two upper half?
C) I am an certified Google photographer - and on the top i have my NN R1 with my NN RD5 rotator. I dont want to disassemble the RD5 from the NN R1 every time I have to shoot a pole pano. (i know it will be a little heavier). Is that a problem?
D) Does the bolt in the pole fit the RD5 bottom?
D) I am going to buy a footclamp and a pole rotator. . I have two fisheyes - a Samyang 8mm and a Simma 8mm. I want to use the both. With the Samyang I need 6 shots around, with the Sigma only 4
How smooth does the pole rotator go? Should I buy the "6 shots around"-rotator or the 12 shots around?, So I can use both.
Looking forward to hear your answer.
Greetings from Denmark
Jesper Frehr

This instrument was actually requested by a Dragoart member so here is the lesson. These brass instruments are wind based, and they are one of the most recognizable instruments from the brass family to date. Other similar brass pieces that are cousins of the trombone are; the sackbut, buccin, trumpet, bass trumpet, trombone, euphonium, and the tuba. I'm sure you are familiar with some of the names, I just wanted other who didn't know, know. Anyways have fun with drawing a trombone folks. I will be back in a jiff with other tuts or you all.

Your Health
Energy-Efficient Lightbulbs May Have Dark Side When It Comes To Health
Everybody knows that one good way to prevent a sunburn is to stay inside, where you're safe from the sun's ultraviolet rays. Right?
Well, that may not be true anymore if your house is lit with compact fluorescent light bulbs. Last month, researchers from the State University of New York at Stony Brook showed in a paper that tiny defects in the bulbs can let through UV light that can damage skin cells and lead to cancer.
The researchers' data, published in the journal Photochemistry and Photobiology, is preliminary, and based on experiments in a lab. In other words, there aren't any known cases of sunburn from light bulbs yet. The researchers say it's also not that hard to avoid the dangerous rays; they recommend putting the light behind glass or keeping a few feet away from the bulb.
But this still isn't great news for compact fluorescent bulbs, which have gained popularity in recent years as federal efficiency standards began phasing out the widespread use of UV-free incandescent bulbs. And naturally, we at Shots wondered if the other big player in the future of lighting — light-emitting diodes, or LEDs — have any health risks of their own.
First we had to understand why a household light bulb would produce UV light in the first place. As it turns out, all fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury vapor, which emits a lot of UV rays when hit with an electric current. Normally that UV is absorbed by a layer of molecules, called phosphors, on the inside of the bulb and reappears as safe white light.
But if that phosphor coating cracks, UV light escapes. And according to the researchers at Stony Brook, defects are common. They saw bald spots in nearly all the bulbs they collected from retail stores.
They blame the manufacturing process, when the bulbs are twisted into their signature spiral shape. "That's when you get into trouble, because [phosphor] is brittle, and it can't take the curve," says materials science professor Miriam Rafailovich, who led the research.
LEDs also typically need phosphors to make white light, but fortunately for the fair-skinned, the similarity ends there. Inside most white LED bulbs is a blue light source, which is converted to a full spectrum of colors by phosphors. Even if the phosphor coating is damaged, the blue light within sits firmly on the visible spectrum, and poses no danger to human skin.
"There is no UV component to LEDs, as far as I know," says Terry McGowan, director of engineering and technology for the American Lighting Association.
On the other hand, all that blue light can trick your body into thinking that it's daytime. That can be a good thing if you work in a windowless office, or suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder.
But spend too much time under blue light, especially at night, and you may throw off your sleep cycle. "Human beings need bright days and dark nights," McGowan says. So while LED bulbs are a good choice for the workplace, they're a poor choice for the bedside.
But at least you won't have to worry about sunscreen.

(4.1) Should store.add respect filters?
I have a memory store which an asynchronous ajax call occasionally adds records to. This store can be configured at run-time with filters and sorts and is backing a grid.
The problem is that if I add a record (store.add(..)) which doesn't match the current filter it is still displayed on the grid. Calling store.filter() hides it, but it also unfortunately resets any groupings (expanded/collapsed) and scroll co-ordinates.
It if helps, imagine I am building a grid which display server side log messages. It is updated every N seconds by an Ajax call which manually updates the store. The GUI allows you to filter messages though - maybe you only want to see SEVERE messages for example.
So my question is, how can I add a record to a (memory) store which is backed by a grid with filters so the grid only shows that item if it matches the current filter without losing the scroll and group state?
29 Jun 2012 6:23 AM #2
Trawling through the forums again I found: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...-EXTJS-4/page3 which links to http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#%...crollOnRefresh, which seems to work a treat!
Now to find a corresponding "preserveGroupsOnRefresh"...
29 Jun 2012 1:28 PM #3
More context - this is only a problem if the group plugin is configured "startCollapsed:true" (which isn't the default)

My query still stands - when calling store.add() on a grid's store, should a record appear on the grid if it doesn't match the filter? My experiments indicate that the record does still appear until store.filter is called.
To be clear, I have a memory backed store, and a grid with a simple filter of "departmentId"=5. If I add a record {name:'hi-ho',departmentId:10} then it will appear on that grid until I call store.filter(). Is that expected behaviour?
1 Jul 2012 7:34 AM #6
The story continues .
I have found that if I have a record which *does* match a filter and then I update it so that it no longer matches the filter it is still (incorrectly) displayed in the grid, even after a store.filter(). Adding a new record does the right thing, so instead of updating it I remove and re-add it:
var existingRecord = store.getById(newRecord.id); if (existingRecord != null) { /* Editing the record updates it and the subsequent store.filter() removes it from view if necessary, however, *new* records which should be in the filter aren't added. To work around this, delete the existing record and re-add it. */ // existingRecord.beginEdit(); // var fields = existingRecord.fields; // for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) { // var key = fields.get(i).name; // var newValue = newRecord.get(key); // existingRecord.set(key, newValue); // } // existingRecord.endEdit(); store.remove(existingRecord); records.push(newRecord); } else { records.push(newRecord); } .. .. store.add(records); store.filter();
Should I create a small demo and post as a bug report? I am hesitant as almost certainly the bug is in my code or understanding ....
1 Jul 2012 10:33 AM #7
I think that this is a bug as adding an non matching record to the store should filter it automatically. In the following showcase, when you click 'Re-filter' button the simple store.filter() is called that hides the such records. As a workaround you can install add listener and just call the filter after add.

There should probably be a filterOnAdd configuration.
And then the add method should test whether it passes the filter and put the new record into the appropriate collection.Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu

Manicure Set Uses:
Getting a manicure can be good for your appearance as well as for your health. By applying vitamins to your fingers and nails, manicurists help keep your hands healthy and clean. But professional manicures can be expensive. A simple home manicure set has several different uses that can take the place of costly manicures at a salon
- Many of the tools in a manicure set are provided for clipping. Most sets include a basic set of nail clippers to cut fingernails. Another clipping aid is nail scissors, which shape and cut the nail, as well as a cuticle pusher and cutter to cut away cuticle skin along the base of the nail. Hangnail clippers make it easy to cut away cuticle skin lower on the finger before it tears away
- Cleaning is another use for a manicure set. Nail cleaners, which are blunt points for removing dirt and dead skin below the tip of the nail, keep harmful bacteria from growing under the fingernails. Manicure sets also include files and buffers for removing debris or scratches from the surface of fingernails
- Manicure sets are useful for filing, which can have several effects on the nail. Using a coarse file, you can alter the shape of the nail. Finer files are useful for softening the shape of the nail and making the edge of the nail dull and smooth by removing sharp edges. Finally, filing can remove scratches from the surface of the nail and leave a textured surface for applying polish
- Home manicurists can use a manicure set to polish nails in two ways. The first is by applying clear or colored liquid nail polish using a brush. The other is by using a polishing cloth or a series of abrasive files to gradually smooth the nail and create a shiny finish naturally
How To Give Yourself a Manicure With a Nail Set:
The modern manicure began in the 18th century in Paris, France. Since then, women and men alike have indulged in keeping their fingernails healthy and looking good. There are many ways to obtain a manicure. A manicure at a salon can cost a lot of money, so if you are on a budget, you can give yourself one with a simple kit. Kits vary from simple to complex and involve all sorts of various polishes and techniques. The simplest of these kits can be used with a few easy steps
- Wash your hands in the sink with mild soap. Make sure to scrub underneath your fingernails and remove all dirt particles
- Fill a large bowl with warm water and place your hands in the water for 10 minutes. This is to soften the cuticles and nails to make the manicure process easier. It also serves to open pores on the skin to allow the moisturizer you will use later to be absorbed better
- Cut your nails to your desired length using the clippers from your manicure kit. The curve of the nail should follow the natural curve of your cuticles. If you have rounded cuticles you should have rounded nails. If you have square cuticles you should have squared off nails
- File the tips of each fingernail with the nail file from your manicure kit. All edges should be smooth to the touch and have no jagged or sharp parts. Use the buffer from your manicure kit to gently buff and polish the tops and edges of each nail. This will help any polish you apply to stick better and last longer
- Push back the cuticle of each nail using the orange stick in your manicure kit. Lay the slanted end flat on the nail surface with the narrow end facing the cuticle. Gently push the orange stick against the cuticle until it moves back against the skin of your finger
- Apply a good, high quality hand lotion to your hands and gently massage it in. Allow the lotion to absorb completely
- Apply your choice of fingernail polish according to the directions on the bottle. Allow the polish to dry and then apply a second coat
Tips & Warnings:
- Always keep your nails dry and clean to cut back on the amount of manicures required to upkeep your nail health

My question is addressed to people who tried to make a cutout by themselves.
My very simple question is -- how to do a cutout in Arione by yourself, and not destroy the saddle?

Undefined control sequences occur when LaTeX encounters something it doesn't know, such as a typo.

After the battle of the Pellenor Fields in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Pippin searched for Merry on the battlefield. The last time they spoke, Merry was still in Rohan. How, aside from divine intuition, did Pippin know that Merry was with the army? Is there anything in the movies or the book that would explain this? Éowyn, the only person who knew that Merry wasn't left at Dwimorberg, was badly injured.
In the book, they meet inside the gates of the City. Pippin says that Gandalf send him to look for Merry. From beginning of the chapter "The Houses of Healing":
In the movie, able bodied survivors are looking for friends and family who also fought and also injured survivors. While searching, Pippin comes across Merry's elven cloak. Pippin then begins his search specifically for Merry and does not give up until he is found.

Congrats to Bayern Munich for ending the first half of the season as winter champions.
Jupp Heynckes side have won 13 out of their 17 matches with Franck Ribery the best player in the Bundesliga.
Any comments?
Are the Hollywood side back to their best or is it that Dortmund have been very unlucky with the referees this season?

I have a late 2011 Macbook pro, and lately it hasn't been sleeping properly. If I close the lid for less than a minute and reopen it, it doesn't go to sleep while the lid is closed. The screen is still displayed immediately after reopening. Also, a few seconds after I open the machine, it will go to sleep on it's own. I have had the software checked and that doesn't seem to be the problem. What could be causing this and how do I get it fixed? It is still under warranty.
If there is a process that is preventing sleep (rather than a bug in the sleep implementation), you can use "pmset -g" in a terminal window to list the process that is doing that. This is covered over on superuser.
Here is an an example on my system. First, with nothing preventing sleep:
Then I start music in iTunes:
How long does it take to get to sleep on its own if you leave it?
I'd suggest looking at the log entries in the Console.app to see what's happening when it tries to go to sleep.
A few things that I've encountered that can make a Mac slow to sleep:
Aside from looking at the console for hints and checking your free disk space, this is the sort of thing where doing an SMC reset might actually be applicable.
Your problem same me. After this, i reinstall Mac because i can't debug my error.
However, you can try:
_If your Mac has got uTorrent and still running it, please EXIT it.
_If your Mac has got Dropbox, uncheck "Enable LAN sync"

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Sen. Joe Manchin doesn't believe the federal debt extension measure passed by the House on Wednesday adequately addresses the nation's spending, and he isn't certain he will support it.
Manchin, D-W.Va., serves as co-chairman of "No Labels," a bipartisan group that has proposed its own "no budget, no pay" legislation. The No Labels proposal would have withheld lawmakers' pay if congressional appropriations weren't approved by Oct. 1, the start of the congressional fiscal year.
The bill before Congress meanwhile, would permit the Treasury to borrow beyond the limits of the federal debt ceiling through May 18 and require Congress to pass a budget by April 15. Under the act, members of a chamber not passing a budget would have their pay withheld.
Manchin said he agrees members of Congress shouldn't be paid if they fail to pass a budget, but he said the measure House members passed "is not the bill we introduced" and "has too many nuances." He addressed the issue during a teleconference with state reporters Thursday.
"The real question is, how much longer are we going to kick the can down the road by not facing our budget crisis?" Manchin said. "We're putting billions and billions of debt on every day - I think it's $4 billion to $5 billion we're adding to it. ... You've got to fix your financial problems. You've got to get your financial house in order if you want to do any of the things that need to be done, and you have to set your priorities ... I've been here two years, and I've yet to see us meet a deadline. They just pretend it doesn't happen. How can we continue to keep anyone's confidence? I'm willing to make the tough votes to fix the finances."
Manchin said he is awaiting more debate on the "No Budget, No Pay Act" before deciding whether he will support it.
"It will be a lively debate," he added. "I am having a hard time confirming I can vote for it when it does not meet the crisis we have. ... Right now, I can't give you a definitive 'yes' or 'no,' but I can tell you it doesn't set well with me."
In other matters, Manchin said he will support the nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., as the next secretary of defense after meeting with him this week.
"He assured me that he shares my commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and he stands strongly with our close ally Israel," Manchin said. "Based on that conversation, I intend to support Chuck Hagel's nomination.
"Chuck is a combat veteran and foot soldier who has a unique understanding of the challenges faced by our men and women in uniform, and a practical leader who understands the need for common sense in military spending and national security strategy," he added.
Manchin also denied he is gearing up for a run for the presidency in 2016. He called the idea "just crazy."

It's too bad they don't have a similar deal on their blu-ray
finally got in. kept getting an error msg earlier............I don't own any of these movies, so this is a good deal for me. heard that target had this for $10, but $20 a great price.....not concerned about the blu-ray........didn't like them that much, but the kids do.
This is just the movies. No special features, commentaries or any of the other stuff. Fine if that's what you want (that's all I've got for most of the movies) but you'll need to look elsewhere and save up more shiny nickels if you want the extras.
I am wondering why Harry in the image is sporting a hobo beard.
@purplefeather bc he listens to a lot of john lennon
This isn't Harry Potter, it's the Chinese knock-off Hairy Potter.
Now 24.99 with free shipping
@purplefeather: The picture is "Hairy" Potter ....
Hairy Potted?
@rewyn: Amazon.co.uk has an 8 disc Blu-Ray set for about $42. Shipping to the US was about $3 on the Avengers box set (for reference).

Today Attorney General Jon Bruning initiated an investigation into whether patent infringement enforcement efforts by Texas law firm Farney Daniels LLP violate Nebraska law. Specifically, if such efforts amount to unfair or deceptive practices, they may violate the Nebraska Consumer Protection Act and the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
Farney Daniels LLP has sent multiple letters to Nebraska businesses on behalf of patent trolls threatening lawsuits over patent infringement. This litigation is costly and destructive to Nebraska consumers and businesses.
"Patent trolls" are companies that buy groups of patents without intending to develop or market a product. They threaten target companies with lawsuits alleging infringement of the patents they have purchased. Businesses that have used, developed, or sold established technologies are often caught off-guard by such threats.
"'Patent trolls' make egregious threats with little or no valid legal purpose to gain fast money," said Bruning. "It is a top priority of our office to protect Nebraska consumers and businesses from this sort of baseless harassment."
The Attorney General's Office is empowered to bring an action in the name of the state against any person to restrain and prevent violations of the Consumer Protection Act and the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act and seek civil penalties against offenders, where appropriate.
A copy of the Cease and Desist Order and Civil Investigative Demand sent to Farney Daniels LLP will be available shortly at www.ago.ne.gov.

They say that the purpose of art is to invoke an emotional response. If this is the case, it takes a special type of art to invoke a melee. This past July Mike McGinley approached me about hanging an impromptu show featuring his latest and greatest pop and flash art etched on glass. No promotion, no advanced notice. Within two days every piece was purchased. The mob reached such a frenzy at one point, I was up a ladder trying to hang a piece and customers were bidding and buying before the piece could get properly leveled. Such has been my experience with Mike McGinley and his art etched on window and glass panes.
December 7 at Meadowlark & MegaFauna, Mike McGinley aims to add to a new and fun-filled show presenting one-of-a-kind pop-art etched on glass with, "Keep it Glassy".
Mike will be presenting all original interpretations of pop influenced imagery and his own creations of flash and street culture, just above the curb. Each piece will be displayed on resourced and upcycled window pane and modified doors with glass installations. Each sized properly to fit a large wall as a series OR individually for the downtown or loft crowd. There are some surprises in play for the show, including LED retro-fitted and back-lit pieces.
Boulder-based Evo Hemp of Hemp Health, Inc., will be in attendance passing health-filled hemp bar samples and cool schwag. DJ Viking Sound Machine will be in the house pushing beats and other audible treats. J Audrey Hair Studio will be offering discount cards for their in-house hair studio. As always the MF Cafe will be selling locally roasted Novo Coffee, Rocky Mountain Sodas, sandwiches by local deli's and Mom's famous baked treats.
Keep it Glassy 6 PM-10PM at MegaFauna and continue Keeping it Glassy until midnight in Meadowlark at 2701 Larimer in the North Larimer neighborhood of Greater Five Points.

Watch how empowering people to change their
lives is the key to ending hunger & poverty
To get somewhere different, we must do something different. Every Heifer project is grounded in 12 solid principles that that lay the framework for change and defines our culture and character. It's our roadmap for brighter tomorrows.
At our heart lies Passing on the Gift. The nature of our work allows families to become the cycle of positive change; those who received Heifer gifts become donors and Pass on the Gift of possibilities and shared successes to others in the community.
After their projects are established, families that received resources from Heifer—such as livestock, seeds or training—pass on these gifts to other families in need in their community, allowing them to help others as they have been helped.
In what specific ways has someone helped you or your family in the last month? Perhaps someone pitched in with childcare during an emergency, brought over a meal or simply listened to a problem you were struggling with. Using the spirit of that gift, how can you pass it along to someone else in need? Whether reaching out to old friends or to a stranger, the idea is to help someone in the way you've been helped, a way that might not have occurred to you before.
We are responsible to the communities we serve.
Participants in Heifer projects, including Heifer staff, partner organizations and the communities being helped, must work together to achieve common goals. Heifer provides livestock, supplies, expertise and support, while project participants reciprocate with hard work and a pledge to pass on what they learn and receive.
We're all part of communities, from the family level to the global level, so we must be accountable for the resources we use and the actions we take. Take responsibility for your place in the world. Recycle, volunteer and take a genuine interest in the people and happenings around you. Make a list of ways you can be accountable to your family, friends and community and refer to it throughout the year.
We can solve the world's problems if everyone commits to sharing resources and caring for others.
Cooperation and friendship are key components of all Heifer projects. Recipients of animals and trainings are expected to share what they learn with their neighbors. It's not uncommon for Heifer project recipients to share their animals' bounty, too. Families who receive draft animals often help till neighbors' fields, and people with chickens often share eggs.
Most of us have enough to share. Making a donation is an easy thing to do and so is volunteering your time to help a nonprofit organization. But there are smaller ways to share and care that are just as meaningful. Taking a meal to an elderly neighbor, offering an afternoon of babysitting to a tired parent or even just picking up litter so the park is nicer for everyone else are excellent ways to show you care.
The families we work with strive for sustainable, self-reliant lives so that they will continue to thrive on their own.
Short-term fixes eat up resources and don't help families learn how to provide for themselves in the long term. Heifer projects focus on caring for animals and the Earth so that they continue to produce. Participants get an initial boost from Heifer, but help comes in the form of tools and knowledge that will allow them to make their own way.
Be mindful of your weight on the planet. Could you tread more lightly? When you can, eat foods that are grown locally. Carpool or walk. Reuse and recycle. Be aware of the true price of what you buy. Was the person who made it fairly compensated? Was the air, water or soil polluted?
Our farmers learn how to keep their animals safe, healthy and productive.
In order for livestock to be a healthy and productive on any farm, Heifer first ensures that the species and breed is an appropriate fit for the area and for the families who will receive the gift animals. Farmers then attend trainings to ensure they can provide the animals with adequate food, water, shelter and health care. When animals are healthy and productive, families benefit and there is a favorable impact on the environment.
Training and preparation for livestock often takes the entire first year of a five-year Heifer project. Project participants learn animal health and husbandry, integration of livestock into the ecosystem and improvement of the environment. Preparations for animals include building shelters and planting fodder. Heifer also trains community animal health workers who can administer vaccinations and other medicines to keep gift animals healthy.
Farmers reap rewards from their gift animal through the consumption and/or sale of products such as milk, eggs, meat, cheese, honey and wool.
Heifer farmers enjoy improved diets and finances. Some use livestock to till fields, increasing crop yields, or to haul goods to market. It's not uncommon for the farmers we work with to share extra milk with their neighbors or to loan out their oxen to help others till their fields.
Be aware of the impact your diet has on others. Do you know how your produce was grown and harvested? Were the workers who picked and processed your food paid a living wage? Whenever possible, opt for locally and sustainably grown fruit, meat and vegetables.
Women and men are encouraged to share in decision making as well as in the benefits the animals and training bring.
In Heifer's work, gender equity is central to success. Men and women must work side by side in equally respected roles and responsibilities for a family to create a better future, which is why Heifer confronts issues of patriarchy and inequality head on.
Encourage girls to study math and science, and support female entrepreneurs. Raise your sons to treat women as equals, and make sure you advocate education for both genders equally. Parents, teach your boys how to cook and teach your girls how to wield a hammer.
Those most in need are given priority in receiving animals and training.
We provide livestock and training to those with a genuine need—those lacking adequate nutrition and money for medicine and education. In many cases, poverty is a result of discrimination and racism and Heifer seeks to empower those who are disenfranchised because of their ethnicity, sex or social status.
Genuine need exists everywhere, not just in developing countries. So does discrimination and bias. Be generous with your time and resources, and be mindful of respecting people from different backgrounds.
Sustainable farming techniques, reforestation and tree-saving biogas are important components in all of our projects.
Caring for the Earth is a huge part of our mission and is present in every Heifer project. Animals are chosen based largely on how appropriate they are for the local environment. Will they overburden or pollute the water supply? Will it be difficult to find or grow abundant fodder? Reforestation is a facet of Heifer projects in areas stripped of trees, and manure and crop residues are used to reinvigorate poor soil.
Environmental degradation is a problem to which we all contribute, so we all have a responsibility to help the Earth heal. Be mindful of how your choices of what to eat, how to travel and where to live affect people, animals and ecosystems around you.
Everyone is expected to work together to bring about their community's transformation.
Virtually everyone in communities where Heifer works has something to contribute. Heifer calls everyone to the table, especially women living in cultures where they have traditionally been excluded or undervalued. Our actions create big change, affecting everyone, and therefore must take everyone's opinions into account.
Think about who will be affected by the decisions you make, and be sure those people's perspectives are taken into account. And more broadly, remember that the fight to end hunger and poverty calls us all to action. Educate yourself. Reach out. Donate. Enlist your friends.
Participants learn nuts-and-bolts skills such as how to build sturdy pens and grow fodder. They also receive in-depth training in all 12 Cornerstones.
Training & Education are key to ensuring that animals are well cared for and that self-reliance is achieved by project farmers. Cornerstone training helps participants tap into their own wisdom and strengths, both as individuals and as communities.
You can't solve a problem if you don't know about it, so stay informed of what's happening around you, both locally and globally. Encourage curiosity and support making decent education available worldwide.
Our common belief lies in the value of all life, a sense of connectedness to the Earth and a shared vision of the future.
While Heifer International has its roots in the Church of the Brethren, the mission embraces people of all faiths, both as contributors and recipients.
It doesn't matter where you go (or don't go) to worship, all of the world's great religions call upon us to give. Contribute time, money, expertise and goodwill whenever you can.

Argh! I asked this before but was told that I was very general. So now I'm back, in need of information, and with a set time period.
Around 550 A.D - Wizards hadn't gone into hiding yet, correct? How do you think they would have lived?
What was the lifestyle in general like - of wizards AND Muggles around that time? What kinds of names would fit? Would a name like Martha be suitable for a Muggle girl? What about last names? Clothes? Hair?
I've researched this quite a lot, but I'd like some other POVs and opinions and facts before I officially get started.
EDIT: I know the 'd' should be capital in that title...it's midnight, gimme a break...
EDIT2: Maia - thanks, that link was helpful. I dunno why I never find those sorts of things while researching.
Fauna - WOW! Thanks so much! What you wrote is basically what I couldn't find online at all! I'm gonna copy and paste everything you said into Word, because it's exactly what I need!

text: I just received my NN4. What a joy this product is. I took me approximately 4 minutes to set it up and calibrate to my d3000s/10.5mm Fisheye. My first stitch (12 stops) was excellent. The NN4 is well made and engineered for heavy use. I am very pleased with the product and look forward to many successful sessions. Great job guys!!

Despite Age of Mythology being rather old it's still one of my favorite games. Unfortunately my disk for the Rise of the Titans expansion pack has gotten scratched over the years and now no longer works. Is there anywhere I can download it? I still have the activation key and disk and am willing to pay to be able to play it again. Every download link I have found, legal or otherwise, has not worked. Please help me play this classic game again.
As stated at the Microsoft support site, you can do this to get another disc:
A microsoft employee told me to do a flat installation and the part of the game that didn't copy over doesn't seem to be vital, so the game still works. Here's a link to the conversation http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-gaming/age-of-mythology-rise-of-the-titans-download/75c846f7-d961-4827-9025-59b7965e4141?tm=1349555170992

This question already has an answer here:
Both bash and zsh support a shorthand of not placing a command in history if you prepend it with a space. This works great across sessions (if you've
setopt histignorespace). However, the command is still in the current session's history.
How can I avoid placing a command in the current session's history (or remove if after executing it)?
