Is there a possibility to use map tiles from AndNav (created wit Mobile Atlas Creator) that are in format:
Mapnik\12\2241\1369.png.andnav (I know that 12 is the zoom level but don't have idea what is 2241 and 1369...)
as an input for OpenLayers.TMS layer?
I found information that I could use local tiles with TMS: http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/wiki/UsingCustomTiles
Unfortunatelly, I can find any place where AndNav map format is documented and reading sources didn't helped me too much.
Would anyone could help me?

Washington County, Tennessee will not allow an adult business to rebuild at its original location in Gray.
The Mouse's Ear exotic sports bar on Highway 75 burned back in January. Click here to read more.
The owner, Ralph Browning, applied for a building permit this week but was denied.
County Zoning Administrator Mike Rutherford says that's because current zoning laws will not allow the owner to rebuild in the same spot. "If your structure is damaged by fire or other disaster 75 percent or more, you may not re-establish it. So the use of the land will revert back from non-conforming to conforming now, as just B-3 General Business," he explained.
The owner could relocate in a manufacturing zone, but would not be allowed to sale alcohol; plus, he would have to meet other restrictions as well.
We spoke with the Ralph Browning, who says he is looking at his options.

While some women are more likely than others to develop breast cancer for reasons that can include family history, hormonal exposures, age and other risk factors, no one is immune. Given the importance of detecting breast cancer at an early stage, it is vital that all women know how to screen for the disease — both through self-exams and visits to their health care provider.
When breast cancer is found early, a woman has more treatment options and a greater likelihood of complete recovery. With prompt treatment, the outlook for women with breast cancer is good. Early treatment saves lives and can also conserve the breast. Thus, women should be proactive about breast cancer screening, establishing a schedule of breast self-examinations, checkups and mammography appropriate to their level of risk. They should also watch for signs or symptoms of the disease, bringing any significant breast changes to the attention of their health professional.
The encouraging news is that with state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques, breast cancer is being detected earlier. Today, the majority of new breast cancers show no signs that the cancer has spread beyond the breast. The Cedars-Sinai Breast Cancer Program provides state-of-the-art techniques as well as expertise in determining the individual patient's course of breast cancer treatment. Our multidisciplinary team of experts meets on a weekly basis to review patient cases and diagnostic images, marshalling its wide-ranging expertise to ensure patients receive the most appropriate treatment and follow-up.
Routine Screening
All adult women should engage in regular breast self-exams and should report any concerns to their health care provider. In addition, beginning at a certain age — which can vary depending on individual risk — women are urged to obtain regular mammography screenings.

I used to watch an old TV show for teens in which a girl got soaked in some stuff that fell off a truck (it was in barrels). And from that point, she could melt and slide under doors and reform in her original shape. There was also a girl (her sister?) that wanted to figure out how she could melt and reform her shape, there were also other people that are the creators of the stuff in the barrels and they wanted to get her to silence her or something (it was a long time ago :) Please help...
It's The Secret World of Alex Mack, I remember some episodes so I instantly recognized the series you were referring to, although I didn't remember the title.

Type: Main Dishes
Type: Main Dishes
Lamb burgers seasoned with herbs are a tasty alternative to traditional hamburgers made with beef.
Serves: serves 4
- 1 slice whole-wheat bread with crusts removed
- 1 lb (500 g) ground lamb
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- a good pinch of dried oregano
- a good pinch of dried thyme
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Soak the bread in water, then squeeze out the excess.
- If you have a food processor, put in all the other ingredients and process them briefly-chop the onion finely first.
- If you don't have a food processor, mix the ingredients by hand. Crumble the bread into a bowl with the lamb. Add the onion. Beat the egg and add it. Add the herbs, salt, and pepper, and mix.
- This mixture can be left to gather flavor for 2-3 hours, or you can leave it all day in the refrigerator in a bowl covered with plastic wrap.
- When you're ready to cook, heat the grill to maximum, shape the lamb mixture into patties, oil the broiler pan, and broil for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Some supermarkets sell low-fat, ready-ground lamb, or you can buy fillets and mince them in a food processor.

Think like a marketer. Behave like an entertainer. Move like a tech startup.
We believe that we must Think Like A Marketer. This means putting ourselves in your shoes and taking a hard look at the specific business problems being addressed. It is not enough to just solve one communication challenge - we believe our solutions must be anchored much deeper than that. And we know we must Behave Like An Entertainer. We want everything we create to intentionally and joyfully blur the lines between traditional messaging and full-on entertainment. Let's surprise them. Let's delight them. Let's make them laugh, cry, and think. Let's bring them meaningful content that they want; and build a meaningful relationship with them in the process!

NEW YORK, February 10, 2016 -- Pereira & O'Dell brings home two awards from last night's One Screen Film Festival held at Sunshine Cinema, a Landmark Theater in New York City. Realtor.com's "Home Buying in Plain English with Elizabeth Banks" wins for Best Branded Content while Skype's "Finding Donut" wins for Best Direction.
One Screen is a short film festival dedicated to uniting the film and advertising worlds on one screen. One Screen is a division of The One Club, which is also responsible for The One Show, a prestigious awards show recognizing
"One Screen is not just about acknowledging the best in short film but also about identifying new trends and new talent," said Jonathan Jirjis, One Screen Producer and Director/Producer of Video at The One Club. the best creative work in advertising, interactive, design and branded entertainment.
About Realtor.com's "The Home-Buying Process in Plain English with Elizabeth Banks"
Realtor.com approached the daunting task of first-time home buying with wit and candor with the help of Elizabeth Banks in the online web series "The Home-Buying Process in Plain English with Elizabeth Banks" (http://www.realtor.com/welcome/learnwithliz/). The five-part web series quite literally explains the home-buying process... in plain English... with Elizabeth Banks, humorously and realistically, describing mortgage lending, inspections and closing the sale in a way that is somehow worth viewing again and again.
Acting as supporting content to the national TV campaign, "Real estate in real time", the short films outperformed industry benchmarks by over 120%. The webisodes alone have been viewed over 3MM since its July 2015 launch and quite easily stand the test of time with the actor's white hot career and the ads appeal to the vast millennial generation as it enters the home-buying market for the first time. [Fun Fact: ads were directed by Wonder Years Fred Savage who is enjoying a resurgence in Fox comedy 'Grinder'].
About Skype's "Finding Donut"
For 25 years, Valeriy Sugrobov has been searching the streets of Moscow for everything from cats and dogs to crocs and hedgehogs — if it's a pet and it's lost, he'll find it (most of the time). Before turning his talents to the field of pet detection, Valeriy had been a police officer in Moscow. With all this experience under his belt, being a pet detective is a job Valeriy not only takes very seriously, but one at which he is incredibly talented.
Skype plays a big role in his investigations. When time is of the essence, Valeriy is able to take a case immediately by interviewing people over Skype as well as file sharing images or necessarily documents for the missing pets. hen a pet is found that's where Skype proves most effective in Valeriy's work. He makes a video call over Skype mobile to instantly ID the pet, and in some cases, he needs the owner to call out to the pet to lure them out of hiding places.

I'm using two geographies: one is made up of small areas (about 2200), the other large areas (about 70). Both cover all of Australia, and the small areas are not necessarily nested inside large areas. For the large areas, I was given a kml file, and a mapinfo file (both come from the Australian Bureau of Statistics). I converted both into .shp format, for use in R (using rgeos).
For each of the small areas, I would like the proportion that fits in each large area. This can be done with
gArea(gIntersection(small area, large area))/gArea(small area)
Which I execute inside a foreach loop that returns a 2200 by 70 matrix of weights.
My problem is that for some of the small regions, this method does not find any intersection (as in it returns zero for all larger areas). I have run it on shape files constructed from both the kml file and the mapinfo files, and areas with no intersection are different!
What would be the most likely cause of this sort of problem?
Thanks guys for your help. I have put together a little zip file containing my two shape files and the R script I'm using. I'm pretty fresh to this (3 days) so reading up on projections. Thanks again. (The file is about 60 meg)
Edit 2:
Thanks to your advice, I now know that my small regions are in GRS80, and my big regions are in WGS84. So thanks! I am having a bit of difficulty finding out how to change them. Any pointers on where to look? Cheers.

Pope Francis sacks 'Bishop of Bling.'
Today the Vatican announced that Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst of Limburg, Germany. The bishop was suspended in October, after it came to light that the new residential complex he was building for himself would cost a cool $43 million, including a $20,000 bathtub (cheaper than the $27,000 fine he had to pay for lying under oath), a $35,000 table, and $500,000 wardrobes. Nothing but the best for the man who flew first class to visit the poor of India.
To be sure, $43 million is a lot more than the $500,000 the outgoing Archbishop of Newark is spending to renovate his retirement home. (Take comfort, Newark Catholics, your new bishop is on this. Try to focus on the fact that for a long time Myers was willing to live in the actual city of Newark, which is, you know, Newark.) And it's still a lot more than the $2.2 million Archbishop of Atlanta is reportedly shelling out for his own residence, on top of another $2.2 million to renovate a rectory (all paid for with a $15 million bequest from the nephew of the author of Gone with the Wind). Newark and Atlanta Catholics may not be quite as offended by their archbishops' reno bills as are their co-religionists in Limburg, but it looks like the pope is really not kidding about wanting a church that is poor and for the poor.
According to a Vatican statement, the pope removed the bishop because of "a situation that prevents a fruitful exercise of the ministry of Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst." In other words, he skunked his own authority by scandalizing the faithful through his misuse of funds.
Can you think of any other situations that might prevent the fruitful exercise of a bishop's ministry?

Wow, a Church leader who wasted parishioners' monies on an extravagant lifestyle, is held accountable.
When will those leaders ( a single Cardinal or Bishop) who allowed the destruction of the lives of our children be held accountable?
Grant - you ask:
"Can you think of any other situations that might prevent the fruitful exercise of a bishop's ministry?"
Sexual abuse; prime examples -
Finn (convicted)
George (violated US charter numerous times but he has submitted his resignation)
Braxton (wasted more than $2 mil fighting and delaying settlements that eventually the courts made him do)
Mahony (but he is now retired)
Meyer (but he now has a Vatican appointed replacement)
www.bishopsaccountability has a list of bishops who resigned over abuse spanning 30 years. It is interesting to note that almost without exception, bishops who acknowledged, admitted, or were convicted had their resignations accepted by Rome when they reached the age of 75 - but not before???
Wonder - could one criteria be that any diocese that has to file for bankruptcy, creates a situation in which that bishop is prevented from the fruitful exercise of his ministry. Experienced this in the diocese of Dallas in the 1990s after the Rudy Kos trial. Grahmann stayed and it created years of bad feelings......no big donors would support him; pastors had mixed feelings about the bishop; the chancery office was in turmoil; any future direction of the diocese was either put on hold or compromised.
Other suggested areas:
- bishops who are extreme and rigid cultural warriors e.g. Nienstedt who *wasted* millions on a campaign against same sex marriage; what about Cordileone?
- bishops who refuse to follow the US Charter (Burkeswitcz is gone but what about Conley?)
- bishops who glamorize and make a public display of Summorum Pontificum and spend money and time doing TLM creating diocesan divisions
- bishops who spend more than 50% of their time outside of their dioceses (airport bishops per Francis)
Just some ruminations
Hebda's defense of Meier was a sad suggestion that no lessons have been learned there. Imagine congratulating the man for living in the cathedral rectory or, rather, zip code, as if that were some sort of gracious concession on his part. (He didn't mention the money spent to lavishly redecorate the rectory.) Thankfully the comments thread took him to task for it, each and every one. No nastiness but firm rejection of this narrative of poor, generous bishop Meier who is so maligned. Good to see such pushback.
"My own experience tells me that the lifestyle of a bishop has little to do with square footage. The demands on a bishop's time are such that he is seldom home and rarely has time to develop attachments to creature comforts…All in all, episcopal ministry would be a poor choice for someone seeking a comfortable lifestyle." (Most Reverend Bernard A. Hebda, coadjutor archbishop of Newark)
Catholics in Newark, you deserve better.
I dont know which is worse the statement of Hebda, which you quoted or the cyncism of Wilton Gregory:
Gregory believes the new $2.2 million mansion will allow him to "smell like the flock," as he put it, and provide a space where he can host church goers. http://bit.ly/1rnH249
Is Gregory mocking Pope Francis?
I guess I should cross off the name of Archbishop Wilton Gregory from my bracket of potential Archbishops of Chicago.
I agree with Grant and Rita about the depressing inadequacy of Bishop Hebda's defense of Myers. What I like most about it is that Hebda doesn't even attempt to defend Myers against the actual complaints. A defense would require him to argue that Myers's retirement plans are not actually unreasonably expensive, or that it's a reasonable use of diocesan funds. Instead he basically says, "Think of all the money he didn't spend on himself."
It reminds me of the scene in This Is Spinal Tap where the band is in trouble with their record company over the cover of their album Smell the Glove -- which is hilariously sexist and crude -- and their manager protests weakly, "You should have seen the cover they wanted to do!"
I've admired Archbishop Gregory for many years and would like to think that this isn't a money/luxury grab on his part. Buckhead is a pretty tony area of Atlanta; this site suggests that the average home prices on some streets exceeds $1.3 million. That's where the cathedral is. The newspaper article states that the price tag on one of the two properties includes purchasing the land. Does a home in that area need $1 million+ in renovations? Was a prior house razed? Beats me. Transparency would be helpful: on what was the money spent? Hopefully, not on solid gold bathtubs. Did the gift from Margaret Mitchell's nephew specify that he wanted to buy Archbishop Gregory a retirement home? I dunno, but that would also be nice to know. Is Gregory just going to live there with a small staff, or will the facility be used for other purposes: fundraising, retreats, other public and spiritual functions? We see Gregory stating it will allow him to smell the sheep, but no specifics are given as to what that means.
I agree it doesn't look good.
It is now quite clear that Pope Francis priorities are to protect the church's money rather than protect the church's vulnerable children.
He quickly fires a bishop who lavishly spends church money, yet he does not even take the very least step of protecting kids by firing US Bishop Finn who is a convicted criminal for covering up child sex crimes in the KC-St Joe diocese. This does not makes sense to the thousands of victims who suffer from being sexually abused by clergy. Until bishops and cardinals are fired for enabling and empowering kids to be sexually abused, there is no hope of change coming from the Vatican.
Tragically the sex abuse and cover up within the church hierarchy throughout the world is still going on to this day. Cardinals and bishops are still not removing accused predator clergy, and they are still not reporting to law enforcement. Their so called "zero tolerance" policy is not being followed by the bishops who created it. They don't have to, because there is no punishment to force the bishops to change their ways of protecting their power and the institution rather than protecting children.
Outside law enforcement desperately needs to get involved to stop these crimes against humanity.
Judy Jones,
SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
Looking forward to seeing the spotlight shining ever more brightly on the archbishop of Newark, Earlville, Illinois' gift to the universal church. Smile, John, we're looking at you, and so is Francis.
Appoint him as Coadjutor in Newark, NJ and heir to the bishop's additional new "cottage." Hope it would be larfge enough for both of them.
Your work and indignation is respected and it is true that this issue you raise and the persons whom you assist are of far greater value. Yet I hope within six months- one year there will be significant STRUCTURAL change to deal with the hierarchy in ways that are moer institutionalized than simply relieiving a "bling bishop."
I have to say that the biggest difference for hierarchs in Germany and those in say the US is that in Germany the church is suppport from tax revenues that the state collects on behalf of the various religious denominations.
In other words, the people of Germany have ultimate control over the purse strings of the hierarchs through their elected representatives in the German government - them making the hierarchs eventually accountable to the people.
The reason that the Vatican acted quickly - as compared to their leaving in office the admitted felon Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City - is that I'm sure the German hierarchs didn't want to risk loosing their very comfy money stream which flows right into their pockets.
Too bad we have such strict separation of church and state here in America???
Tax strike! Money talks and is apparently the only thing that does (well, that and lawyers). Withhold your donations or target them explicitly for church causes you deem worthy -- and make sure that the collars know it.
Judy --
I fear you might be right. My one last hope for Francis is that he is acting out of his very systematic personality -- he seems to tackle one big problem at a time then conquor it thoroughly (see the IOR mess). Hopefully, this is what he is starting to do with the bishops problem. Yes, the problem is bishops not pervert priests. And, given that he too is a product of the clerical system that trains bishops to see no evil in other bishops, it isn't surprising that he too has been a laggerd in this. But the ball has dropped now, and if his new Commission doesn't put some teeth into those new statutes, then it is unlikely that Francis will ever learn unless the decent bishops take him to task publicly. Yes, there are some decent bishops. But are there enough? And there is always the Holy Spirit. (But where HAS the Holy Spirit been in all this????)
What Judy said. Someone asked Helmut Schuller at one of his appearances here why the priests in Europe were more likely to openly dissent the church's teachings and if I remember correctly he said that the Vatican knew the pople in those countries wouldn't stand for the few priests they had being fired.
Jim Pauwes:
I wonder which one of the buildings will be named Tara.
Correction: Jim Pauwels.
That statement of Gregory's won't result in his smelling like "the flock", but more like sheep dip.
As a former resident of farming country, I can assure you that sheep dip is a far cry from incense or the Chanel family of scents.
Jim Jenkins,
The Church tax in Germany does not work they way you imagine it to work. It is amtter of law and is paid by the members of each denomination. The only way the state can reduce the amount given to the churches is if individual members of a given church inform the government that they no longer subscribe to it and wish not longer to pay the tax. This has happened a lot in recent years in Germany, but the German bishops have struck back by saying that any Catholic who refiuses to pay the Chrich tax will be denied the sacraments and cannot have a Catholic funeral.
Ditto, all Bill deHaas listed.
Also, maybe there is a precedent in the way Francis did this. I believe the issue was placed in the lap of the German Bishops Conference. Their published report was the basis for the resignation submitted to Francis, yes?
Francis could have said "off with you" and get out. But a more round-about approach was based on the findings of a group of bishops in a collegial move. Will this be a pattern?
But would the USCCB ever have the spine, much less the decency, to write a report identifying what prevents a fruitful exercise of ministry amongst one of its "brothers?"
Alan Mitchell @ 12:28 asked if Archbishop Gregory is mocking Pope Francis.
Yes, that's how I read it. Sarcasm is unwarranted here, but he plainly thought it was fine to reply in this way. Very depressing. Not even to keep up the pretense of respect... this is a new low.
I guess the view depends on the mountain your standing on; $500,000 wouldn't be enough to buy a singe familiy home in my middle-class Bronx neighborhood- though I'm sure property values in and around Newark are much, much lower.
But I am really, really bothered by the $180 million price tag on renovating our NYC cathedral. It seems like there must be some alternatives which would provide a cathederal-sized worship space for a lot less than that.
Is it true that title to a lot of diocesan property is held by whoever is bishop at the time? That, technically, he would own it personally? A couple of people have told me this, but it seems a little hard to believe.
"It is now quite clear that Pope Francis priorities are to protect the church's money rather than protect the church's vulnerable children."
While I would never deny there is a rational basis for being disappointed at Francis's apparent lack of a laser focus on abuse crisis -- to be so absolute and definitive in one's assessment of his priorities is unfair.
What is clear to me is that Francis has inherited a Church steeped in clericalism and episcopal privilege (the root cause of the abuse crisis) and he has done far more than I could have ever imagined to move the Church away from these toxins.
Jack @ 8;24, "...to be so absolute and definitive in one's assessment of his priorities is unfair."
I would agree. Number one, Pope Francis has named a board for systemic work on the abuse crisis, no such board named for financial abuse. Number two, making a good decision on this matter is no proof of anything besides this matter.
Futher, the matter of Bishop Tebartz-van Elst has been reported on (read: the Pope's intervention has the support of) the German episcopal conference. No such support has been forthcoming from the American conference in dealing with scandals of their confreres.
"A move into a residence for retired clergy could be fraught with similar challenges — perhaps more for the other residents than for the bishop (while the analogy is far from perfect, try to imagine what it would be like if you had to spend your remaining years in the easy chair next to your boss)."
Point taken: after all, my last boss before my retirement is Jewish and keeps kosher. So I doubt we could live in the same retirement home, even though I'm just as gaga about cats as she is, and her six pets wouldn't bother me.
However, I feel compelled to point out that religious brothers and nuns manage to live together harmoniously in their golden years. There's more than a whiff of elitism in the implication that a bishop would demean himself by living alongside some of the priests he used to boss around. But if it's truly awkward, why couldn't a retired bishop simply move to a retirement home in a diocese where he never held an administrative position?
"Gregory believes the new $2.2 million mansion will allow him to "smell like the flock..."
"Buckhead is a pretty tony area of Atlanta; this site suggests that the average home prices on some streets exceeds $1.3 million. That's where the cathedral is."
O, yeah, there's sheep AND THEN THERE'S SHEEP!
So AB Gregory wants to smell like the SHEEP?
Hold onto that brass ring, AB :-)

A stalled effort to build a veterans memorial in South Hutchinson is getting another look. South Hutchinson City Administrator Matt Stiles and others are trying to revive a project to raise $200,000 for the memorial. The plan announced in August 2012 generated only about $5,000. The Hutchinson News reports the city of South Hutchinson will to donate the land for the memorial and Hutchinson architect Vance Voth donated his services to design it. Stiles says the effort slowed down partly because of turnover in leadership at veterans' organizations. He says a new fundraising committee will meet in November to discuss reviving the effort. Stiles also has explored funding from grants and Veterans Affairs but noted it's not a good time to seek funding from the federal government.

Essential Rules of Parenting: Discipline Do's and Dont's
2 of 7
Be Consistent
When I was a kid, you could answer my mom back one day and she'd laugh and tell you she was pleased you could stand up for yourself. Next day, you could say the same thing and get walloped for it. And there was never any clue to which way she'd go. This applied not only to giving her back talk, but to most other things, too. It meant I spent a lot of my time walking on eggshells.
It also meant I had no idea what was and wasn't allowed -- it seemed to be decided on some kind of secret lottery basis that I wasn't privy to. So there was little point in regulating my behavior. After all, I might get into trouble, but then again I might not. It generally seemed worth the risk -- certainly to me.
Your kids are just the same. They need to know what is and isn't acceptable. And they judge that by what was and wasn't okay yesterday and the day before. If they're not getting a consistent message, they're clueless as to how they have to behave, and those all important boundaries aren't being properly maintained. That means the kids feel confused, insecure, and perhaps even unloved.
I'll tell you the toughest thing about this Rule: It means that a lot of the time, you can't break the rules even when you want to. It's just not fair on the kids. If you've decided that you don't allow the kids to sleep in your bed with you, you have to stick to it (unless you're prepared to change the rule permanently). Just because your little one was a bit sad about something today, and they're so warm and snuggly and smelling of bathtime, and you're feeling a bit down yourself anyway…no, no, no! Stop right there! Let them into your bed once and it will be ten times harder to say no to them next time, and they won't understand why. Say no now (softly and with an extra hug) and you're only being cruel to be kind (to yourself as well as them).

I have verified the cache twice now and restarted the Steam client, but as it stands I am still seeing things as in the screenshots on the bug thread.

The in-game status has me on v188.8.131.52761 - is this correct?
I'll now follow the next step and delete FM.exe, unless anyone can advise otherwise.
No success with deleting FM.exe either.
Must admit I'm leaning towards the skin solution, if that's sorted it for you Matorko, although I do quite like the default dark one.
I can ask for a parent club with Aston Villa now :S
Have the dead been taken out?
I only ever play in commentary mode, with the screen showing my team's stats. If I pause and go to make a sub/tactic change and go back to the match, I now get the pitch view and have to re-select stats.
Seem to remember the exact same thing happened in FM11.
No bother, I'll just re-install the game, and apply the previous patch.....oh hang on, thanks to steam I guess that's now impossible.
Cheers :-(
"stupid" question - did you disable the advanced Panel ?
(if this shall be the merry christmas then)
why hasnt my game updated yet
Steam automatically updated for me, but when I go to start new game it says i'm still on 12.0.0, it also says on the steam update history that it hasn't updated? although Steam did an update about 1 hour ago??
Also having the issue with the relegation and promotion zone shading having disappeared. I have tried to cleared local content and reinstalled the game +deleted settings + verified steam files to no effect. This is impacting the standard skins and also my installed skins. Any ideas as to how i might be able to fix this - it's quite annoying?! Many thanks
Hello everyone,
I just now registered, mainly because i found that my crashes when i go to the page of one of my 'regen' players, all my 'regens' are fine, apart from my right-back defender, i click him, and the game makes a crash. i have tried by going to his profile using 'right click' and then 'training report' (playing in dutch btw. so sorry if i say it in wrong names) and that goes just fine, untill i want to see the 'profile' page, then it crashes again . annything i can do?
Manny thanks,
So, before a matchday, I go to Options->Match. I have....
Match view - Only Commentary
Classic view - Chelsea stats
Left split view - Chelsea stats
Right split view - Chelsea stats
camera. highlight mode, show highlights are all greyed out.
I have my team's stats on the whole screem so I guess the split view choices are irrelevant??
Started a match, went to sub/tactics screen, cancelled it, pitch view. Checked Options->Match, it has the same settings as what it was before the match started.
It's definitely broke :-(
If that doesn't work, please upload your save game to the FTP, create a thread here - http://community.sigames.com/forumdi...es-and-Crashes - and let us know the player in question so we can take a look. FTP details here - http://community.sigames.com/showthr...P-Instructions

1. It's my own risk if the game crashes or not (or ? )
2. My game NEVER have crashed or made any problems when using the advanced Rules
so does the file of Magicmastermind it never made any problems it just makes a good game even better
And it's not for the sake of users disabling it...cause u can make wonderful files with the advanced Rules.
Without the advanced panel i will loose my interest to this game.

Well, sorry to say, but there are many bugs still in the game. For instance, the red color showing the relegation places on the league table isn't visible. And the ones that are still active are really starting to annoy me (the back button returning you literally to the previous screen... Waiting for 12.1.1, hope it's coming out soon.
In the "Preferences" it says this game version 0.4. Is that the latest one?
Two "Bugs" i noticed after installing Patch 12.1.0.
First the "advanced Editor Panel" doesnt work anymore. Second a created Language File cant be loaded. When trying to Load in Preferences it seems to load but turns back into English and the created Language File dissapears.
Any thoughts why that happens?
ive also noticed when i try to use my editor itloads up, but ive got a strange wallpaer and the writing well you cant even read it,it has ruined my editor what do ido now?
The advanced rules editor has been disabled on purpose im afraid.
Any comment on the skin problem? I currently not playing as I was using a skin with larger font. I can't even find it now!!
Just come across a slight problem on the player screen. The stats have lost some spacing, this was fine before the update so I can only assume the update changed it. see picture below.
We just felt the balance of the ME in 11.3 was very good so decided not to make too many changes since. That doesn't mean work hasn't been ongoing in the background for future releases obviously!
Does this means we can see our 'B' teams ca/pa when we are managing 'A' team ? Because I still can't.Originally Posted by PaulC
Trying all the tricks to make the custome skins to appear have failed. Any ideas?
Editor problem solved now
Any Idea yet why edited Language Files dont work anymore with the latest Patch?
Custom skin problems getting completely ignored?! Help.
I've got a small problem...
It seems I've lost the ability to confirm tactical changes during a match. I'm not entirely sure if this is patch related, but I did not encoutner this problem last night before the game was updated.
I should add, I switched tactics by clicking on the backup tactic I had set-up. It doesn't matter what I do afterwards; the confirm button remains greyed out.
I found that if an English scout was scouting in England as part of a UK & Ireland assignment they would remain in England for a number of months rather than the single day under a single nation assignment. I'm really not sure that the fix people were looking for was an additional line of text saying why a scout can provide a full player list after 1 day.
Dear Sigames, since 1996 I'm a customer and a fan of Championship Manager/Football Manager. I respect you for what you made in all these years, but I'm really really disappointed about what you're doing with the editor.
Did you ever ask yourselves why a lot of people use the advanced editor or want to learn how to use it? Because there is an abyss, a grotesque and unbelievable difference between features of the advanced panel and the ones of the basic editor.
FM2011 editor had some new features compared to the one of FM2010, but this year the editor is almost the same of previous edition!
There are too restrictions with the basic editor, so please, please, please, please: release a patch for the editor to upgrade it with a lot of new features.
We want to make league structures like MLS, we want to make editable subdivisions into other subdivisions, we want to have the possibility to insert a list of specific stadiums for a competition, we want to have several features currently present only into the advanced editor.
This is a constructive criticism and I hope you can do something to release important upgrades for the basic editor.

Custom skins............................................. .................................................. ....................
Since I downloaded the update, I have a big problem. Everytime I try to sign a player or a staff, the bar where I can edit my transfer budget gets greyed out and I can't edit it anymore. I had no problems before but since the update has come, it happened everytime
Fantastic, match engine back to being jerky!
Add to that i've got no skins, makes me not a very happy boy!
Still no reason for this? I prefer the custom Skin I was using.
The default dark skin is ok for now, but I'm hoping to get my custom Skin working again soon...
The fix that has been used sounds a little too imprecise, for me a better option would be to temporarily partition the necessary funds to complete the deal from the main transfer budget, if the deal falls through then the funds are once again made available.
For those of you who have problems with custom skins not showing up try this:
(Explained for Flex12 skin)
Fix: Go to the Flex12 folder.
There is a file called: flex12.xml
Open it with an editor (wordpad or such)
Change the line:
Other skins should have a similar .xml file. Check in the folder an look for "required_version" value and see if changing it to 12.1.0 helps.
It works for Flex12 so i guess it might work for other skins too.
I have the problem with the colours missing on the league tables. I have verified Cache etc but no joy. I dont have a custom skin, I just have a badge pack installed, which still works fine.
small but really annoying!
Steam is refusing to update the game for me.
It states 'Download starting' but doesn't do anything. If I go to the downloads part of Steam I'm presented with the 'Resume All' option, but this does nothing. Every now and then it crashes too.
In addition to this, every time I open Steam I have to do it about two or three times, as it keeps wanting to download an update that never finishes and always starts again with only a few MB to go.
If anyone can help with that, I'd really appreciate it. Read on for my thoughts on Steam...
I've had so many problems with Steam, I absolutely hate it. If I pay for a game, I should be the one to decide when I can play it. Not a third party application that is as far as I can tell, absolutely useless and only a hindrance. I live in an area with an exceptionally slow internet connection, with no signs of an upgrade to fibre optic in the near future. It is not fair to assume that all Football Manager customers have access to a speedy internet connection and can therefore immediately download and install updates and get on with playing the game. It really is a steaming pile of something, I'll give it that.
Which option would that be?When tutoring when asked to change a players personality is used the competition news item no longer states little was gained
As an example if you have a wage budget of £45,000 but are spending £50,000 the board will normally restrict how much you can offer in future contract talks so to get around this in past versions you could move all your transfer budget to your wage budget to remove the wage restriction, then once you've agreed terms with a player move the funds back into your transfer kitty.
If you're having issues with the patch we very much recommend verifying the cache as described in the FAQ, this will resolve the majority of issues when attempting to run the game.
It work fro me as well.
The update crashed steam, and then I was unable to open it again. Now I have uninstalled the game and steam and it's taking a lifetime to reinstall. This a common issue with updating through steam? Might sound stupid but it's the first year I've been using it for FM.

50 shades of embarrassment
Society needs rules. Rules are one of the conventions that put the civil in civilization. Otherwise, barbarians would wreak havoc, 9-year-old children would be forced to sew buttons to Wranglers for 10 hours a day, the Naugatuck River would still be a chemical Roy G. Biv on a sunny day and heathens would be able to fill large sodas in New York City (wait — they still can!).
Click here for pros and cons of 50-point rule
However, some rules stink. A non-exhaustive list of poor regulations includes:
That last rule is the one on our Naugatuck Valley League radar more this season than it has been in any year since its 2006 implementation.
It all started in Week 1 when Wolcott beat Sacred Heart 61-6. Luckily Eagles coach Jason Pace — who is, like many coaches in this area and around the state, one of the good guys — avoided a suspension for the following week's big game against Naugatuck because all reports pointed to proper protocol. Wolcott has not been the only local school that has brushed against the rule, though.
Ansonia has fought the unfortunate fight against the rule in each of its three games. The Chargers held a 45-point lead over Torrington in the third quarter when sophomore defensive end Angel Falero picked up a fumble and headed toward the end zone. He stepped out of bounds at the 3-yard line.
It bewildered coach Tom Brockett for a moment, until he looked at the scoreboard and saw why Falero took matters into his own hands — even if the youngster passed up what could be his only chance to score. Ansonia then took three penalties in a row to give itself some breathing room to essentially prevent itself from scoring — because a rule said so.
The Chargers had to manage themselves against in Week 2 against Sacred Heart and again in Week 3 against Holy Cross. In the latter game, senior running back Hugh Jackson broke loose and headed toward the goal line with his team leading by 43 points in the fourth quarter. Jackson awkwardly gave up himself at the 1-yard line, even though the team had room to score another touchdown before the rule said it had to stop. Ansonia then took a combination of penalties and knees before Brockett allowed Jackson to score on a fourth-down run. The Chargers did not attempt a PAT because one extra point would have been a terrible show of sportsmanship, right?
Woodland ran into the 50-point issue in Week 3 against Kennedy. The Hawks took a 34-0 lead on the opening kickoff of the second half and then took out their starters. The Eagles kept in their starters for several more series and eventually salvaged a 34-26 loss. It was somewhat reminiscent of the 2011 game between Torrington and St. Paul in which the Red Raiders took a big lead and removed their starters, but the Falcons kept in their starters and made a comeback. Torrington put its starters back in when the lead dwindled to three scores and took off for an 80-39 win.

The one-act play is about six famous film and theatre critics gathering to receive a prestigious award. But, when one of the critics suddenly dies, they all seem to be marked for murder. A comedic who-dun-it then ensues.
Several locals will appear in the show including Martha Anderson, Mia Rayborn, Caleb McGirk, Rachel Tillman and Peyton Churchwell. The cast also includes Dixie and Don Mitchell, Mary Hall and Tim Medlin.
Tickets are $40, which includes a meal and may be purchased at the Visitor Center. But, don't wait too long, because according to Theatre Director Hal Robinson, Friday's showing is almost sold out.

Were there any Christian groups that existed during the time of the first four ecumenical councils and that were not represented at them either because they chose not to attend or they were not invited or, perhaps, were not even known?
Sign up

What evidence do we have today about Christian groups not represented at the first four ecumenical councils?
The Nestorians are a good example for the latter two councils. There were a few attendees from the non-Greek east, groups that would later be called Nestorians. There was at least two, Jacob of Nisibis and another bishop named John. The eastern church "officially" accepted Nicea in 410 at the council of Isaac though the Nestorian schism happened soon after. But I guess nobody doubts the existence of the now-called Nestorian church during the time. Some of their writings survive and I'd recommend a reading of Moffett's "Christianity in Asia".
If I recall correctly, it is still too early for the Indian Christians to be associated very closely with the churches later called "Nestorian". Perhaps they are as old as Thomas. One tradition says it was Bartholomew rather than Thomas. It is reported that when Pantaenus went to India in the second century from Egypt he found Christians there. So there is probably an old tradition there, but as far as I know none of theme made it to the ecumenical councils.
The Chinese churches probably did not yet exist at the time of the first councils.
Keep in mind that groups east of the Roman Empire might have had troubles at times traveling to councils in the west. The Romans and Persians were on and off again at war, which would have hurt the communication lines a bit I'm sure, even if travel wasn't completely stopped.
If you go further west, there are traditions of Christianity reaching England in the second century, though as far as I know it didn't really thrive till much later (but I could be wrong on that). But if there are groups that far west, it is less likely that they would have made it to an ecumenical council.
We know the Marcionites existed, even after the death of Marcion. As far as I know, they had no presence at the councils and none of their writings survive.
Some lump them the Marcionites in with the Christian gnostics (and not all gnostics would have attached themselves to Christianity), but it might just be best to say there were a number of different types of gnostic groups. We have evidence of various gnostic groups because of polemics against them by the early fathers. If you haven't read Irenaeus, you can see a variety of gnostic groups attacked there. Since the discoveries of the Nag Hammadi documents we also have evidence of gnostics in their own words. You can also see some material on the gnostics in the early Christian historians.
There are also the Ebionites, who were a group of law-following Christians that some would say are akin to what people think of when they think "Judaizer". They were still around to a certain degree during the councils but as far as I know did not attend and no writings survive.
The Arians were around during the councils but they attended...and were ultimately condemned. So they don't really fit your question, but I figured I would mention them anyway.
So if you want to read for yourself from the groups that were eventually considered heretics by the orthodox, you are going to have trouble finding primary source texts to read. Most of what we have are from their opponents, which we can't assume always portray their opponents fairly, even if some (like myself) think they were right in deeming the ideas unorthodox (well...at least I think they were mostly right)
This may not exactly answer your question, but perhaps the most significant presence at the first few councils which was eventually thrown out was the Nestorian church.
We have lots of evidence that they existed, and in fact they were a major influence in the "Church of the East" until about 622 AD. Syria, Persia, and much of the East was Nestorian, prior to the rise of Islam. There is evidence, that there was a significant Nestorian presence in China as late as the 9th Century, as evidenced by a Steele rediscovered in 1625.
What differentiated Nestorians from the Chalcedonian Churches, and why they were basically booted out of the councils was their understanding of Christology. Unlike Egypt which emphasized the Divine Nature of Christ, almost the exlcusion of his human side, The Nestorians went in the other direction - emphasizing his humanity to the point where they claimed that Jesus had two completely separate natures - as if he were what we today would call schizophrenic. In some later incarnations, the idea was even put forth that Jesus and the Christ were two distinct things, with the Christ occasionally appearing with in Jesus.
In the end, however, Islam first co-opted, then supplanted Nestorianism pretty much everywhere it went.
There were probably some groups in eastern Asia, like India and China. If I recall correctly, there are the Jesus Sutras which were finished around 640 CE. There are also those like Bardaisan(sp?) who lived around the time of one of the councils but were farther east.
Yes: the Apostle Thomas evangelized a significant part of the globe, including north and south America and Asia. A summary, drawn principally from the writings of Cornelius a Lapide and Dr. Warren Carroll -- who cite that the Fathers and Doctors of the Church teach that the Gospel was preached literally to the whole world before the death of the last Apostle -- is recounted in this sermon/homily on St. Thomas the Apostle. I don't think many/any of these evangelized people attended any of the first four Councils.
UPDATE: For those down-voting this answer solely because I'm citing the Apostle Thomas' evangelization of north and south America, here's a link for you: http://is.gd/yAnaJg -- and notice that the Apostle Bartholomew is recorded to have been with him. More links to come as I find them. If I have to scan printed texts and link to those I will.

Bob Devlin - Patient Story
"I don't think I could have asked for a better surgeon for this type of cancer."
— Bob Devlin
He survived cancer not once, but two times. At 50, Bob Devlin says his attitude is simply dealing with what life gives him; then hoping to God all goes well. With Fox Chase Cancer Center and his wife Linda, it did.
In 2004, Bob was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. "When I found out it was cancer," he said, "I could have died." A mail carrier in Reading, Pa. (previously of Philadelphia), he came to Fox Chase after talking with a woman on his mail route, who survived thyroid cancer. She recommended her surgeon, Dr. John Ridge, at the Philadelphia-based cancer center.
Choosing the Right Doctors
"I don't think I could have asked for a better surgeon for this type of cancer," Bob said. "Dr. Ridge is truthful. He gets right to the point. And he's ranked as a Philadelphia magazine Top Doc," he added.
Bob underwent IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) following surgery to remove the tumor in his neck.
Linda noted, "Unlike our community hospital physicians, Bob's doctors at Fox Chase see complex cases like these all the time."
Support Beyond Compare
Throughout Bob's ordeal, Linda stood by him - as wife, caregiver and information gatherer. She made phone calls, surfed the Internet and spoke with cancer survivors.
"Patients do not hear what the doctor says in the same way family members do," she pointed out. Bob agreed. "I was in a daze for about a week," he recalled.
One place Linda visited was the Resource and Education Center at Fox Chase. "We had never heard of head and neck cancer before Bob was diagnosed with it," she explained. "The Center has information on all types of cancers."
The Devlins also drew support from the people at Fox Chase. "Bob's nurses kept me together," Linda revealed, referring to the long days they spent at the Center for infusions and radiation treatments.
"Patients need support," Bob stressed. "For me, I don't know if I could have made it without Linda." His nurses also left an impression. "I got extra special care," he said. "It's amazing how many nurses there are to one patient."
The Second Time Around
Bob battled back from head and neck cancer, but his experience didn't stop there. Later the next year came a second blow: prostate cancer. Again, Bob and Linda chose Fox Chase. Linda summed it up, "Fox Chase just feels like family to us. It may be a smaller center, but they have everything here that you need, plus more personal attention."
"This time, I was confused about treatment," Bob admitted. "With all the options available for prostate cancer, I wanted to make the right decision, but I didn't know what that was."
Together with his prostate surgeon, Dr. David Chen, Bob chose nerve-sparing surgery. "Dr. Chen was very on the ball with everything he told me. He was right the first time."
Their experience has led the Devlins to think more about cancer prevention. Linda, who lost her mother to cancer, is a member of the Risk Assessment Program at Fox Chase. And since surviving prostate cancer, Bob wants to encourage his brother to learn more about his risk through Fox Chase's Prostate Cancer Risk Assessment Program.
Giving Back in a Sweet Way
Now cancer-free and doing well, Bob, along with Linda, is giving back. Their first of many fundraisers--selling cakes, brownies and more from Sweet Street Desserts, a Reading-based company--raised more than $7,200 for Fox Chase.
"This is the only way we feel we can have some control over the situation," Linda said. "We don't have millions of dollars, but we can still do something for research. Cancer research finds better treatments; raising money helps that."
The Devlin Fund for Cancer Research
In 2006, Bob and Linda established the Devlin Fund for Cancer Research, and in 2010, it officially became an affiliate of Fox Chase's Board of Associates. Since 2007, they have held an annual golf outing; organize Paws for the Cause, a dog walk at Fox Chase; hold an antique car show; and a Holiday Hope Card Project.

OncoLink was in attendance for the The Lance Armstrong Foundation's 2002 annual Ride for the Roses weekend. This event is the LAF's major fund raising event, surpassing $2.3 million in donations this year.
The annual bike race was actually a tradition that began before Lance's battle with cancer. Every year Lance and his cycling buddies would hold a race through the Texas Hill Country. The winner would receive a dozen roses. After Lance founded the LAF in 1997, his cycling buddies wanted to show their support, and created the first Ride for the Roses based on their traditional race. The weekend's events have expanded over the years to include the Live to Ride Gala and silent auction, the Run for the Roses, the health and sports expo, the Kids C.A.R.E. Ride, and the Rock for the Roses concert.
The weekend kicked off with the Rock for the Roses outdoor concert, featuring Stone Temple Pilots, Cake, Crystal Method, Patrice Pike, and Ward. Participants and their families enjoyed this evening of music, food and fun.
Saturday began with the Run for the Roses, a 5K course around Austin's Auditorium Shores. The race had over 1500 participants this year, including many cancer survivors, friends and family. Many participants wore tags stating that they were running or walking in honor of, or in memory of someone who had battled cancer.
The run was followed by the Kids C.A.R.E. (Cancer Awareness and Rider Education) ride. This program, designed for kids in grades 3 through 7, is designed to educate kids about cancer, how they can help friends or family with cancer, healthy habits to prevent cancer, and bike safety. The program has enrolled over 800 children this year in Austin area schools. Over 150 of these kids participated in the program kick off Saturday morning. Lance and Olympic cycling Silver medallist, Mauri Holden, participated in a one-mile bike ride along the Auditorium Shores with the kids.
The Health & Sports Expo, held on Friday and Saturday, featured cancers screening and awareness information, sports gear and apparel. Saturday featured the survivorship panel discussions, which were seen, live, via webcast around the world, on OncoLink. The panel discussion, entitled "Cancer Research is Worth the Ride", focused on cancer clinical trials and the benefits of participation. The first panel, moderated by Selma R. Scheme Cancer Survivor and host of The Group Room radio show, Linda Krebs, PhD, RN, AOCN, professor at University of Colorado and former President of the Oncology Nursing Society, Jennifer Andrade Cancer Survivor & Clinical Trial Participant, Robert Comis, MD President, National Coalition of Cancer Cooperative Groups, Daryl McKee, PhD Cancer Survivor, clinical trial participant, & Professor, Louisiana State University. The second panel, entitled "Athletes Winning Against Cancer", moderated by ESPN Sports Center anchor Chris Fowler, included Lance Armstrong, cyclist and cancer survivor, Corina Moriau, tennis champion and cancer survivor, and Ron Williams, Para Olympic champion and childhood cancer survivor. This panel discussed the personal experiences of these athletes and their own triumphs over cancer. The recorded version of the panel discussions will be available soon for viewing on OncoLink.
The Live to Ride Gala and silent auction fundraiser was held Saturday night. Chris Fowler, of ESPN Sports Center, acted as the event MC, introducing award presenters and long-time friend of LAF, Robin Williams, who treated the crowd to a stand up routine. Hamilton Jordan, three time cancer survivor and former Chief of Staff for President Jimmy Carter, shared his personal story with the gala attendees. Hamilton was followed by the presentation of the Carpe Diem Awards, four awards that honor individuals who have made a significant impact on the world of cancer survivorship and who have demonstrated the true meaning of "putting hope in motion."
This year's winner of the Champion of Survivorship award is Paul Newman, whose commitment to the Hole in the Wall Gang Camps, founded in 1988, has provided an opportunity for over 1,000 children to escape the isolation of their illness. The Voice of Survivorship award was presented to Karen Jackson, breast cancer survivor and founder of the Sisters Network, dedicated to increasing awareness in the African American community. Through Karen's dedication, the Sisters Network has expanded to 35 nationwide chapters, boasts 2,500 members, and has launched two successful community outreach programs targeting minority women. The Spirit of Survivorship award was presented to Tamara Stevens, the first patient to survive a bone marrow transplant for leukemia in 1972, and a breast cancer survivor since 1996; Tamara's spirit has inspired many other patients. Tamara has dedicated her time to raising money for cancer research by participating in marathons for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The Pioneer of Survivorship award was presented to Brian Druker, MD, whose dedication to leukemia research has developed Gleevec, a medication that has proven remarkable success in treating patients with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia.
Sunday's Ride for the Roses was the climax of the weekend. Over 7,000 riders gathered for the event that includes cyclists of all skill levels, with distances of 10, 25, 40, 70, and 100 miles. Lance Armstrong joined the riders for the first few miles before returning to Europe where he continues to train for this year's Tour De France. The weekend proved to be a very successful fund raising event, and aided in increasing cancer awareness among participants. The money raised will go to support the mission of the LAF, including survivor services and cancer research grants.

Recently I've considered, mostly as a pet project, to set up accounts for a closed group of users via SSH to my box with the purpose of SSH tunnling things like web traffic -- some of it for friends that live abroad and perhaps also to help some people bypass national censorship. There's some things I imagine that I need to do, such as:
- Disabling shell access by setting the shell to
/bin/falseor similar.
- Get some software that can track bandwidth usage on a per-user basis historically
- Make sure that each user can only use a certain amount of bandwidth.
The reason I'm posting here to begin with is to look around and get some pointers regarding what kind of things I should read up on, as well as hearing if there are any software recommendations for doing what I'm trying to do. I already know a bit since I've actually gotten SSH tunnling up and running already, I just don't feel like letting it loose to other people without restrictions and some basic monitoring.
I'm primarily trying to learn here, so if you think this is a Very Bad Idea (or if you have a better idea on how to do this) then by all means say so, but please include some information on how to do it :)
(I'm also open to trying things like OpenVPN but it seems really hard to set up, also I've heard SSH more often works in locked down environments)

The availability of prayer
Just a dumbass midnight thought, but I've been thinking, lately, of the horrifying availability of prayer. Does no one else have this dread, from time to time, of the offhand remarks we make to God? Our assurance that He knows us through and through, that He loves us intimately, emboldens us—or at least, emboldens me, occasionally, to assume that He also agrees with my prejudices and predispositions. So that when this fatuous archbishop, or that overstimulated commentator, pronounces on some issue of the day, I can recline on the breast of the Boss, smirking at how much He and I know what malarkey this all is. Of course, the Gospel is replete with all sorts of correctives, but every once in a while, that one from Luke 13:25, "I do not know where you are from" really smacks me, even in the wake of a New York Times editorial.

Michael, the better phrase might be "the horrifying tendency to be self righteous." Too many Christians, including saints, have misinterpreted God completely. Augustine missed the core point when he advocated force over persuasion. This is a prodigious error. To my mind he does not deserve to be quoted and praised just on this gargantuan blunder. As you say the danger of self deception is always there. Ask the sons of Zebedi. All the wars that have been condoned in the name of Jesus. Those were avowed Christians who killed all those Jews. There were many who helped the Jews. But most of the bishops were cowards.
This is why Jesus gave the example that the guy in the back of the church who kept pounding his chest for mercy was justified over the boastful believer in the front row. A sure sign that we are straying is if we cannot say: "Lord be merciful to me a sinner" with a sincere heart.
Er, yes. I'll share one spontaneous prayer that now makes me cringe: I'm a great fan of the Harry Potter books, and while eagerly awaiting the release of book 7, I was on a plane that experienced terrifying levels of turbulence. My immediate reaction was to address the Lord thus: "If you make me die before I have read book 7, I am going to be really, really mad". This was wrong so many ways that I can't even count them. (I did pray properly a minute or two later.)
For future reference re air turbulence:
Despite the the pilot's assurances, I've nonetheless been known to utter quick Hail Mary's when things get choppy up there.
My father taught us all to make the sign of the cross with the water as we first went in swimming, perhaps because he almost drowned when he was twelve years-old. I still do that, but have added that sign as the plane picks up speed down the run-way. And nothing childish in any of it.
Bill Collier: Thanks. :-) I do know that intellectually, but emotionally, I just can't make myself believe it.
I've been so upset I've told God I hate him and want him to go away. I cringe when I think of that but I still think it's best to be honest in prayer - it's not as if God doesn't know what's in our hearts anyway.
In airplanes, sometimes, if I notice some people making the sign of the cross or looking worried, I recline on the breast of the Boss (ha!) and ask Him to bring peace to them and help them to relax.
My main worry in a nasty turbulence is to not throw up, but I have never prayed for it.
But when I am walking in a city alone late at night and see a group of men on the sidewalk talking loudly, I quickly check on God - "You're with me, right? Stay right by me" before walking straight on. When I was a child I called him "my secret weapon", as in: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. I will fear no evil, for you are with me".
God is always with us. Whether we escape danger or we get crucified. If we are to put it together we must say God is with us both ways. Those who meet violent ends; by chemical weapons, nuclear, etc. have God with them. You know like God is not with the winning team and not the losers. Yet so many Christian leaders miss this.
Jesus told us to address God as "Father" because He IS our father. Job directly questioned the behavior of God relative to us, and God blessed him for telling the truth -- that at times He does indeed appear unloving and even very unjust. It was because Job was truthful about it that He made Job prosperous again, and He punished Job's friends who were afraid to tell God the truth.
But sometime it's hard to be respectful when telling it like it seems.
The mere thought of Christ is relaxing. When someone takes my blood pressure, I think about Christ or about prime numbers, and it brings my numbers down.
Think of the disciples in the boat: "Lord, don't you care that we are drowning?" Or the Psalmist begging God to "Wake up!" Or "How long, O Lord?" Or "Why?"--a question that even Jesus asked.
I don't think the Creator expects/wants us to "pray properly".
Parents don't turn their backs on a furious little two-year-old and expect her to come back with a go-between in vestments to mollify them with someone else's words.
"I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive the odour of your assemblies."
"Do not multiply words as the gentiles do."
When my 18-month-old was being tested for leukemia, I remember going to the bathroom, vomiting, and sending up some panicky amorphous prayer like, "You can't possibly let this happen, what will I do?" The answer, quick as love came back, "You'll be the best damn mother you can be. Now quit puking and get out there and deal."
The tests were negative, but it had nothing to do with my prayer; God was with the kid however it was going to turn out. I learned a lesson about the limits of human control. Since then, I have never prayed for something not to happen, but I have often prayed the "Let me be the best damn mother I can" prayer.
