Paleo Diet Meal Plans: Dining Out at American-Style Restaurants
Look for the eggs.
Look for the eggs. From scrambled and omelets to poached and fried, eggs are a protein-packed choice that can be found just about everywhere. Be sure to ask whether the chef includes dairy, wheat, or soy in the scrambled eggs and omelets. Most kitchens will honor your request to make eggs without added ingredients. When in doubt, order poached eggs because the only ingredients are eggs and water.

Has anyone played the Fallout PnP RPG? (also available here.) I think the rulebook looks very exciting, but what experiences have you made? Are the rules sane? Are there pitfalls or shortcomings which are only apparent once you started playing? Also, on a sidenote, how do you think about playing dogs or robots? Not that I would try it when playing for the first time, though, I'm just curious … and how many hours/evenings/… have you usually spent on one adventure?

I think the original Fallout PnP rules are good and solid. Also very good for new players who just played the CRPGs. It's a percentile system so its bonus/penalty modifiers is easy to apply.
For my money it's always better to 'port' house rules to an established system, eg d20 Modern or GURPS. This way you get the 'native flavor' of the setting with the larger universe of expansions and source material.

Here is "how to draw Lilo easy", step by step. Lilo is as you know a very popular character from the Disney franchise. She made her mark on film forever and will always be adored and loved by adults and children. I'm happy to be drawing Lilo easy because I know how many people out there still love drawing Lilo's face. I do hope you like this submission. I may return later, or tomorrow all together. Adios in the mean time but don't forget to keep on drawing.

I'm interested in the following quantity:
Given $n$ points in convex position (that is, $n$ points in the plane forming the vertices of a convex polygon), how many minimal ways are there to separate those points with lines, s.t. no 2 points fall into the same (possibly infinite) region of the plane.
2 lines are equal, if they induce the same partition of points into two sets.
2 line arrangments are equal if all the lines are equal.
By minimal I don't mean that we only use $n/2$ lines but I mean that the lines are arranged in such a way that, if we remove any line, then at least two points will lie in the same region.
One can separate $n$ points in convex position into $n$ groups using a minimal line arrangement consisting of at least $n/2$ and at most $n-1$ lines.
Let $T(n,m)$ denote the number of possibilities to separate $n$ points in convex position with a minimal line arrangement of $m$ lines.
Im interested in the quantity $T(n,m)$
Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you

Editor's Note: The United Way of Dodge City began its annual campaign on Sept. 1. The campaign will run until Feb. 14. In light of United Way's efforts to raise funds for charitable organizations in Dodge City, the Daily Globe will be profiling these organizations. This week's organization is the Retired Senior and Volunteer Program. Are you a resident over the age of 55 looking to volunteer your time in a meaningful way? The Retired Senior and Volunteer Program (RSVP) offers seniors an opportunity to give back to the community through volunteering. Volunteer work spans six focus areas, including disaster services, economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, healthy futures and veterans and military families. Activities include carrying Meals on Wheels, listening to children read, helping in food and clothing banks, and providing medical transportation. "It's really hard for a community to survive without volunteers," Program Director Debbie Allen said. "Volunteers are the backbone of our country so it's very important to volunteer locally as well as at another level." RSVP has been active in Dodge City since 1971. Currently it has over 600 volunteers, a growth of 400 over what the organization had 10 years ago. Three years ago it added the Ford County Volunteer Center, which allows participation from those under the age of 55, including students. Proceeds from the United Way go toward rent for the RSVP's office, as well as postage and printing costs for newsletters and recognition for volunteers. "United Way has been a funder of the program for many years so they've been very important for the development and the growth that the program has seen," Allen said. RSVP will be hosting a volunteer fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at the Village Square Mall at 2601 Central Ave. The public will have the opportunity to visit with several organizations regarding volunteer needs for the holidays and the new year. To volunteer with RSVP or to take advantage of its resources, call 620 – 227 – 7077.

In general, how would one find the distribution of $f(X)$ where $X$ is a random variable? Or consider the inverse problem of finding the distribution of $X$ given the distribution of $f(X)$. For example, what is the distribution of $\max(X_1, X_2, X_3)$ if $X_1, X_2$ and $X_3$ have the same distribution? Likewise, if one is given the distribution of $ Y = \log X$, then the distribution of $X$ is deduced by looking at $\text{exp}(Y)$?
Qiaochu is right. There isn't a magic wand. That said, there is a set of common procedures that can be applied to certain kinds of transformations. One of the most important is the cdf (cumulative distribution function) method that you are already aware of. (It's the one used in your previous question.) Another is to do a change of variables, which is like the method of substitution for evaluating integrals. You can see that procedure and others for handling some of the more common types of transformations at this web site. (Some of the other examples there include finding maxes and mins, sums, convolutions, and linear transformations.)
Let me take the risk of mitigating Qiaochu's healthy skepticism and mention that a wand I find often quite useful to wave is explained on this page. There, I argue that: The simplest and surest way to compute the distribution density or probability of a random variable is often to compute the means of functions of this random variable.
For example, the fact that $Y=\log X$ is normal $N(2,4)$ is equivalent to the fact that, for every bounded measurable function $g$, $$ \mathrm E(g(Y))=\int g(y) f_Y(y)\mathrm{d}y, $$ for a density $f_Y$ everybody knows and whose precise form will not interest us. Likewise, the fact that the distribution $X$ has density $f_X$ is equivalent to the fact that, for every bounded measurable function $g$, $$ \mathrm E(g(X))=\int g(x) f_X(x)\mathrm{d}x. $$ Hence our task is simply to pass from one formula to the other. But this is easy since $g(X)=g(\mathrm{e}^Y)$ is also a function of $Y$. As such, $$ \mathrm E(g(X))=\int g(\mathrm{e}^y) f_Y(y)\mathrm{d}y, $$ and our task is to solve for $f_X$ the equations $$ \int g(x) f_X(x)\mathrm{d}x=\int g(\mathrm{e}^y) f_Y(y)\mathrm{d}y, $$ We have no choice for our next step but to use the change of variable $x\leftarrow \mathrm{e}^y$. That is, $y\leftarrow \log x$ and $\mathrm{d}y=x^{-1}\mathrm{d}x$, which yields $$ \int g(\mathrm{e}^y) f_Y(y)\mathrm{d}y=\int g(x) f_Y(\log x)x^{-1}\mathrm{d}x. $$ By identification, $f_X(x)=f_Y(\log x)x^{-1}$.
In a nutshell the idea is that the very notations of integration help us to get the result and that during the proof we have no choice but to use the right path. We leave as an exercise the computation of the density of each random variable $Z=\varphi(Y)$, for some regular enough function $\varphi$.
Note that maxima and minima of independent random variables should be dealt with by a specific, different, method, explained on this page.
If $f$ is a monotone and differentiable function, then the density of $Y = f(X)$ is given by
$$ p_{Y}(y) = \left| \frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(y))} \right| \cdot p_X(f^{-1}(y)) $$
where $p_X$ is the density of $X$.
You can use the law of conditional probability:
So in your case, for a random variable $X\in[0,1)$:
Where the brackets are Iverson brackets.
Example, the distribution for a random variable $X\in[0,1)$ squared:
Assuming $x\in[0,1]$. The pdf is then $\frac{d\sqrt{x}}{dx}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$.

1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. garlic powder
Put beef back into pot. Add in diced tomatoes.
Add in chicken broth (or beef broth, if using).
Then add in can of tomato soup or tomato sauce (whichever you are using).
Give it all a good stir. Then add in rice.
Stir again.
Then add seasonings; sugar, garlic powder, salt & pepper (to taste).
And serve!
Now, I think you have to serve this soup with shredded cheddar cheese on top.
It ain't a stuffed pepper (in my humble opinion) unless it has cheese on there.

Having been introduced to the world through the bestselling novel "Laskar Pelangi" or The Rainbow Troops, the enchanting island of Belitung -also known as Belitong, will sparkle again with festivities as the Belitong Beach Festival & Expo 2013 gets underway from 18th to 20th May 2013.
Held for the first time ever, the event will be centered around the town of Tanjungpandan on Belitung Island, in the province of Bangka Belitung.
The festival will be highlighted with cultural performances, exhibitions, music stages, culinary fair, and much more. To top it off, the festival will also be highlighted by the performance of the Jember Fashion Carnival during the Beach parties at the Tanjung Pendam Beach, the Tanjung Kalayang Beach, and the Tanjung Tinggi Beach. Those present can also enjoy a disco party on the beach and opportunities to take pictures with the models and the amazing costumes of the Jember Fashion Carnival.
Aimed to further promote the beauty of Belitung Island, the event is initiated by the provincial government of Bangka Belitung through the office of Tourism and Culture and organized by PT.Sriwijaya Media Konvex, Although as yet not as popular as Bali or Lombok, Belitung is blessed with some of the best beaches of the country. The sand is soft and as white as sugar, and some even argue that the sand here is even whiter than in Bali.
The most distinct feature of the Belitung beaches are the giant granite rock formations that lie scattered along its shallow shores. Ranging from several cubic meters, these giant granite rocks can measure the size of a two-storey house. Some formations of these huge rocks even have short tunnels underneath them, making this an exciting playground for visitors to bathe in its calm waters.

text: I know what your thinking, why would someone want to learn "how to draw a pilgrim hat"? Well, the answer to that question is simple, why not. There is so many different things that folks would like to learn how to draw but because they are new to drawing, they don't know where to start, or have an idea as to what something should look like. My interpretation and imagination is different from anyone else out there, which is why my drawing style and ideas are my own. You can see from the various artists that submit great works of art and lessons that all of us have a different way to drawing. of course there are some basic rules of art which all artists should know and follow, but let's not get into that now. Thanksgiving is the 22nd here in the United States. I know Canada has their holiday earlier than us, but whatever. This pilgrim hat should appeal to those of you that like drawing Thanksgiving stuff. Yes even Autumn leaves are associated with gobble gobble day. This is a very simple tut, so I know most of you will breeze through it with ease. Have fun, and I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.

WASHINGTON - Sen. Joe Manchin offered legislation Sunday to alleviate the worst immediate effects of the so-called "fiscal cliff," while also providing a path forward to a long-term solution.
Manchin, D-W.Va., introduced the "Cliff Alleviation at the Last Minute," or CALM Act, with less than 36 hours to go before the massive tax hikes and deep spending cuts from the cliff start to take effect.
"If we're determined to go over the cliff, we've got to do something to soften the landing, because at the bottom of the fiscal cliff are immediate and massive tax increases, deep and indiscriminate spending cuts, and the risk of another recession," Manchin said in a floor speech to introduce the legislation. "So as we come down to the final hours, we have two choices: To do nothing and cause an unbelievable amount of hardship for our fellow Americans or to do something to reduce the suffering inflicted on our citizens by an inflexible political system. I choose to do something.
"This bill, the CALM ACT, is not something that I am excited about or proud to offer. This is not a great plan, merely a better plan than going over the cliff. It should never have come to this."
Manchin's bill proposes phasing in the tax hikes over the next three years, instead of allowing all of them to hit immediately. The bill also would allow the Office of Management and Budget to prioritize which programs will be cut, rather than apply an across-the-board cut. The measure also would encourage Congress and President Obama to reach the "big fix" that economists have called for to put the nation's fiscal house back in order.
Manchin said the CALM Act would do three things: "One, it will soften the financial blow of the fiscal cliff. Two, it will calm our financial markets. Three, it gives us the certainty of a plan now, but allows us, if we ever find the courage, to pursue the fiscal grand bargain that has eluded us so far.
"Make no mistake, the financial markets are watching us and they're getting more nervous by the hour. We need to reassure them that we're capable of making big financial decisions."
He continued: "Just look at what happens to people in need if we go over the cliff and just do nothing.
On New Year's Day, the lowest income tax rate will jump from 10 percent back to the Clinton era rate of 15 percent. That's a pretty big financial bite for people who are struggling right now. Instead of overnight tax hikes of 5 percent, the CALM Act smooths the transition by phasing in increases over three years. So instead of a 5 percent increase, they'll only have to bear a 1.6 percent increase in the first year. The CALM Act does the same with the other tax rates, phasing them in over three years under the same proportions."
He also said "something has gone terribly wrong when the biggest threat to the American economy is the American Congress."
"This is one of those moments that the Senate was intended to live up to to provide leadership, to find common ground, to level with the American people, and to be honest with each other. With our debt continuing to soar and too many Americans still looking for jobs, these are times that demand the very best of the Senate.
"Everywhere in West Virginia and, in fact, all over the country families are making tough choices about how to make ends meet. It's time for Washington to do the same. Here in the Senate, it seems to me that we're always fighting about something. That might not change any time soon. But more often than not, I believe we can rise to the common ground of great national purpose. And I believe with all my heart that this is one of those times."

I have been using TeX Live 2010 on my Windows 7 computer for some time now, without problems. Recently I decided to use the TeX Live Manager to check for updates, which were successfully installed. The next time I tried to start the Manager, I started getting the perl.exe has stopped working error. The TeX Live Installation itself is working just fine, the only problem is the TeX Live Manager. I have tried restarting the computer but it didn't help. What should I do to get it to work?
When I tried installing TeX Live 2011 over the Internet in Windows 7 64-bit (running install-tl batch file), I got the same perl.exe has stopped working error. I was thinking to install a TeX using ISO image but finally decided to try again the first method however this time before running the install-tl I installed Perl for Windows (Strawberry Perl version 126.96.36.199) from http://strawberryperl.com/ and then I run the install-tl again. And now everything was fine and I successfully installed the Tex Live 2011!
run install-tl-advanced.bat as administrator.
I've had the problem on my two laptops: one had ActivePerl installed, the other one didn't have any Perl installed so I installed Strawberry Perl on it, following Vladimir's suggestion. The error message appeared on both systems with/without Perl. Running the advanced bat file as administrator worked. I cannot say if Perl was or wasn't needed after all. But I can confirm that running as admin was necessary in my case (others report no such need).
I decided to mount my
It seems the Problem was caused by updating the internal Perl installation for TeX Live - I guess it was not properly installed or something. I'll just download the
The issue is that you don't have perl installed. Following up on @Vladimir, it seems when you just click the install batch, it takes the perl GUI by default. Since you don't have that perl GUI (outdated maybe?), it give that error.
This can be fixed by running a different GUI. I recommend simple text. Go to the directory on the console, and type:
This will use the text GUI instead of the perl one. There is also:
I'm assuming it would use the windows wizard, but I never tried it. I like command-line UIs.
EDIT: made it more clear what I meant by "not having perl".
MikTeX can suffer even stranger problems under Windows 7. Use the portable version, but avoid USB sticks, as it tries to install thousands of tiny files.
Today I get the same error and I used the command:
and it works.
I tried both web installers as well as
It seems that there is some compatibility issues in TeX Live 2013 with Windows 7 Pro. Hope someone notices it and fixes it in the next version.

A week of free fun in Cape Town
Imagine it's January 1, 2013. You've had a hectic week on holiday in Cape Town – exploring the winelands <link>, shopping at the V&A Waterfront, wining and dining in Camps Bay and catching all the sights and sounds of the city on the City Sightseeing Bus. Last night's New Year's Eve party on Long Street was epic, and you're totally amped for the year ahead.
You've got a week left before your holiday in the Mother City comes to a sad end, and you've got to start watching your budget. And yet you don't want the fun to stop! Never fear ... there are many things to do in Cape Town that won't cost you a cent. Here's a suggested itinerary for the first week of 2013.
Tuesday January 1, 2013
Rub the sleep from your eyes, grab your baggies or bikini and head for the beach. The Mother City is well known for its exquisite coastline, which incorporates some of the finest beaches in the world. These Blue Flag gems are the perfect settings for memorable summer holidays that you'll definitely want to repeat. Think clear, aquamarine sea, soft white sand, hot sun and refreshingly icy water – perfect for clearing your head after a big night out.
Wednesday January 2, 2013
Celebrate Tweede Nuwejaar ("Second New Year") with the "Kaapse Klopse" parade of Cape Minstrel bands through the streets of Cape Town. Set yourself up in Darling Street, Adderley Street or Wale Street for the best views of this colourful, boisterous celebration, which takes place every year on January 2.
Thursday January 3, 2013
Chill out in the Company's Garden. This historical public park, located in the heart of the city centre, was founded in 1652 by the first Dutch settlers when they landed in Cape Town. Read a book, feed the squirrels or simply take in the views. This is the perfect setting to recharge your batteries.
Friday January 4, 2013
Now that you've got your energy back, use it to get you to the top of Table Mountain – on foot! There are many hikeable routes up the mountain, varying in length and degree of difficulty. The easiest routes are up Platteklip Gorge, the Pipe Track or Lion's Head. Don't forget your water and sunscreen. Cape Town can get scorchingly hot at this time of year!
Saturday January 5, 2013
Watch a show at the V&A Waterfront Amphitheatre . There's no denying the allure of the V&A Waterfront. Between all the shopping and delectable dining, catch a dose of culture between 6pm and 10pm in this open-air theatre, where eclectic live performances showcasing local talent take place daily. Shows are free. All you need to pay is attention ...
Sunday January 6, 2013
Visit Rhodes Memorial on the northern slope of Table Mountain. This impressive monument, flanked by eight lion statues, is a tribute to the famous settler and politician Cecil John Rhodes. Enjoy panoramic views from the very spot where, it is said, Rhodes would sit and contemplate the future. Riding the lions is a popular pastime (but you didn't hear it from us!)
Monday January 7, 2013
Admit it, the firing of the Noon Gun gave you a bit of a start the first time you heard it. But after a few days in Cape Town, it's kinda become part the landscape. Now this might sound a little geeky, but heading up Signal Hill to watch the firing of the Noon Gun is actually quite a kick. Follow the signs off Buitengracht Street to Schotschekloof for the best vantage point. (Note: The gun is not fired on Sundays or public holidays.)
Of course, this itinerary is just a suggestion. You can choose to mix and match, or start your week of freebies on any day of the year. The only fixed date is the Tweede Nuwejaar celebration, which takes place on January 2 every year. And don't head up to the Noon Gun on a Sunday or public holiday. The gun is given a rest on these days.

Container Scanning to be Put on Hold?
August 03, 2010 - LM Editorial
The voice of reason was sounded in the Senate yesterday when legislation was introduced to suspend the 100 percent scanning requirement for ocean cargo containers.
"Taking a layered approach to cargo security is a more reasonable method to secure our cargo until a new method of X-raying containers is proven effective," said sponsoring senators Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Susan Collins, R-Maine.
It should be noted that these two lawmakers were also among the authors of the 2006 Security and Accountability for Every Port Act. They realize that today's technology simply does not measure up to the demands made upon most ports for screening compliance.
The SAFE Port Reauthorization Act of 2010 will eliminate the July 2012 deadline Congress enacted in 2007, if the secretary of Homeland Security certifies that a risk-based approach to container security is effective.

One after the other, the 'hits' kept rolling: Swan Lake, Beauty, Coppelia, Giselle, Nutcracker, Don Q, etc. The very young-looking lad (Osiel Gounod) dancing the pdd from Coppelia totally blew the lid off the house. His Swanhilda was also very impressive: Grettel Morejon. Then the audience went even nuttier at the end, with an instant standing-o for La Alonso. Welcome to Washington, mis amigos!
Edited to add: Here's a peek at Osiel Gounod..the only thing that I could find on YouTube and a shaky picture, but you get the idea.
Here's another of Gounod, in Bluebird pdd:

Edited to add: Here's a peek at Osiel Gounod..the only thing that I could find on YouTube and a shaky picture, but you get the idea.
Wow, he slices right through the air, doesn't he?
Posted 02 June 2011 - 02:39 AM
....Wow, he slices right through the air, doesn't he?
Indeed. I Googled his name & there's very little info on him right now. The KennCen playbill lists him as Principal (one step below the very highest rank of 'Primeros Bailarines'). Most of the short reports on the internet seem to be from this season -- recent UK and Spain tours, e.g., in Spain, he was a sensation as the Jester in the full Swan Lake. Even though he is shortish, he possesses lovely lines and real elegance, like Baryshnikov. Gorgeous pointed toes in something as simple as a tendu pose. VERY engaging personality, even when just glancing at his Swanhilda...natural charmer. Love him! Not-to-be-missed!!!
Can't wait for tonight's DON Q opener, when Gounod is slated to dance the Young Gypsy...a role that, in the Alonso version, includes a bravura solo. It's a real shame that he doesn't yet dance Basilio (at least not on this tour).
Posted 03 June 2011 - 02:35 AM
Also impressive were last night's Espada & Mercedes, the long and elegant pairing of Jose Losada and Amaya Rodriguez. The tall Lissi Baez drew cheers for her Italian Fouettes as the Dryad Queen and petite Maureen Gil was simply fantastic as Amour, who, in this version, gets the traditional Kitri-Dulcinea variation. (Surprisingly, there was no Dream Scene variation for Kitri/Valdes.)
But the night belonged to Viengsay Valdes as Kitri, pushing the technical envelope even further than before (and I've seen her live in this role in St Petersburg and with Washington Ballet, plus we have her on the DVD filmed in Paris):
Exhibit A: During Act III pdd adagio, balances were held even longer than on Tuesday's gala, one balance going on for about 15 seconds, after which she s-l-o-w-l-y unfurls the leg that was in arabesque, bringing it forward to a front attitude, making a nonchalant face as if to say "OK, now I'll begin to lower it to the floor." Audience errupted into yells and bravos, right in the middle of the adagio. Then the piece de resistance...
Exhibit B: During the pdd coda, the famous sequence of 32 fouettes began with -- how do you say it? There are doubles, triples, quads...but what is the equivalent word for a fouette of TEN spins??? No joke - the first fouette was 10 spins around, perfectly centered, then on to some triples and doubles, ending in a solid series of singles, capped by a triple. (I think I got that right.)
Another night at the Cuban Ballet, with instant standing-o at the end of the show, and some of the wildest, loudest cheering for a ballet heard in this theater since, perhaps, Osipova/Vasiliev's landmark Don Q with the Bolshoi ca 2007/08.
So the sets and costumes were a tad tacky to my eyes? It really didn't matter. The movement, vem & vigor on the stage made this a five-star night at the ballet. Performances of Don Q continue through the weekend, each with a totally different cast of principals.

Edited to add: I wonder why Mme. doesn't expand a little "La Magia" to include stuff from "Bayadere" and "Fille"... that would be good...!
Posted 03 June 2011 - 12:31 PM
...back when I was still in Cuba I belonged to the "Lornistas"....(fans of Lorna Feijoo), and so Miss V. was "the enemy"... . Now she's the reigining queen, as I can see. Good for her!!
....I wonder why Mme. doesn't expand a little "La Magia" to include stuff from "Bayadere" and "Fille"... that would be good...!
Thanks for the little rivalry scoop, Christian. Speaking of Mme...guess who was sitting three boxes to our left at last night's performance? And guess whose box I had the audacity to enter during one of the intermissions? Aha...aha! You know who! This one went a lot better than our little foray into the Met's "royal box" last year. I got to talk at length with Mme and her very kind & handsome husband, Mr. Simon, with practically nobody else around us. This absolutely made my day...made my year, to be honest. No autograph - no photo or other 'fan' things. That would have killed the spell. This was a time to GIVE my respect and appreciation, not TAKE away.

Natalia, you attempted to go into the MET royal box. Usually the ushers there are ready to draw weapons if you don't belong there.
LOTS of people were "paying homage" to La Alonso at the Met, at last year's ABT 90th B'day bash. No security guards that I could see. We got into the actual box and were standing close but there were SO many people milling around that it was impossible to get face time. The KennCen situation was so nice and easy. It was not a gala "homage night'...just a normal tour performance, so no 'buzz' around the Grande Dame. And it's not as if I barged in with a camera and autograph book, going ga-ga. I got the feeling that she is genuinely touched and enjoys talking with her admirers. For somebody so imposing and tough-as-nails -- which she had to be to overcome so many adversities in her life -- there's a certain down-to-earth manner there. Hard to believe but true.
p.s. Of course, she was dressed to the nines in her salmon-pinkish (Freed pointe-shoe pink!) silk dress and matching head scarf. Hardly incognito.

And Natalia, remember that while out of the "Royal BOx" at the MET we saw Mr. Franklin coming out and had that delightful chat with him...? That's when he asked me where had I seen that vintage footage of him dancing the DQ PDD with La Alonso...
Absolutely, cubanmiamiboy. It was truly a ROYAL Box at the Met that night.
Well, I bit the bullet and bought a last-minute ticket to today's 1:30pm matinee starring Barbara Garcia & Ernesto Alvarez...and the last chance to see Osiel Gounod in a featured role during this run(Gypsy Boy once again)! Also, I'm curious about seeing another Cuban ballerina besides Valdes as Kitri. I wasn't planning this at all but the Cuban bug has bitten, once again. Now I must hurry up and get ready.
Posted 05 June 2011 - 07:04 AM
Barbara Garcia (Kitri) and Ernesto Alvarez (Basilio) conquered the Kennedy Center yesterday afternoon in every respect. As a couple, they were more balanced than the Valdes/Virelles opener, in which the lady clearly out-powered the gent. Both Garcia and Alvarez truly delivered the goods in all 3 acts, especially in the Act III pdd, in which they garnered a 'first' in my 30+ yrs of ballet-going: an instant standing ovation after the adagio (in the midst of the pdd)! Garcia's fouettes in the coda included a "four-corners set" (direction of the fouettes shifting four ways) towards the end.
The ensemble was full of delights, not only Osiel Gounod's Lead Gypsy Lad but also a magnificently turning Gypsy Girl (Amaya Rodriguez); an A++ Espada-Mercedes duo with Alfredo Ibanez (lovely double-tour jumps in assemble) and Jessie Dominguez; a light and airy rendition of Kitri's traditional Dream Scene variation by Grettel Morejon as Amour; and -- my discovery of the day -- the long and lyrical Etheysis Menendez delivering one of the most tastefully sublime Dryad Queen solos in our planet.
I am so happy to have bought the last-minute ticket to what turned out to be a magical performance. Cuba has more than one great Kitri in its ranks! Barbara Garcia -- petite and powerful -- has entered my Pantheon!
In general, this has been an amazing run. Most refreshing, for me, has been the rare opportunity of seeing a company in 2011 that dances with the academic purity of, say, 1960 or 1970s style. Nary an out-of-whack extension around. Some of the ladies may push the technical envelope but, in performing their feats, their positions are so wondrously pure. Finally, we see a top int'l company that doesn't try to turn every ballerina into a poor man's Sylvie Guillem. How very refreshing. I, for one, hope that 'globalization' never reaches Havana.
After the Cubans, the Danes have their work cut out for them to conquer the Kennedy Center audience, beginning this Tuesday. I hope that they can succeed. Let's see what the new Folk Tale and Napoli bring.

Yes indeed, Natasha...! Barbarita is the last ballerina that was taught by the late Fernando Alonso. She's the oldest of them all...

It's a shame that it's so hard to find bio information on the current BNC stars and soloists anywhere. That, I believe, is the huge downfall of the otherwise-lovely coffee-table tome, Cuban Ballet, by Octavio Roca, i.e., that one buys it thiking that it has all of the inside scoop on the current (last 10 yrs) company and it turns out to be another bio-homage of Alonso. Practically ALL of the 'current' Cuban stars mentioned and pictured by Roca are exiles! We end up knowing more about the Cuban Classical Ballet of Miami as about the current, actual dancers in Havana. And since I'm on my mini-rant about one recent book...the also-recent Jennifer Homans tome on the world history of ballet (Apollo's Angels) presents ZERO-ZILCH history on the Cuban ballet. If Homans would have devoted a few pages to Cuba, she would not have written her grim Epilogue that 'ballet is dead.'
Is there even an official BNC website with bios of the current dancers? There used to one and that URL has long expired and/or is very hard to access (computers tend to freeze). Right now, Christian, you are my A#1 source for information on current, active members of the BNC!

I was just curious as to who submitted this photo. Bob and Ruth Singhaus were my grandparents and this picture meant a lot to the whole family. I'd like to thank whoever posted it.

Come on Hendon
Come on Hendon
Yeah, I didn't find anymore after the first season so got rid of him, my gk coach is Lionel Pirez now who always comes up trumps with knowledge of French players released which has helped a great deal the last 2 seasons with being able to sign some real quality youngsters from France
I've downloaded the ddt file and it appears under preferences ticked. Gone on holiday and taken over Cambridge City but all the first team players have the regen faces. Have I done something wrong? or does that file just mean you get a team generated for you rather than having a blank squad?
Check if they have released players before you got there LCFC, in my game checking the transfer history for Cambridge City they had some real players which they released in the 2nd season (1st season we take over the club) so it could be they were all released before you got there. I shouldn't worry too much though unless you really wanted a specific player that plays for them as most these starting squads are pretty poor & can be upgraded very easily with free transfers.
Kings Lynn Update - BSN 2010/11
10 Games Remaining and sit in 2nd Place, 7 pts behind the leaders Braintree and only 2pts ahead of Worcester in 3rd,
However am 7 pts clear of the final play off position so looking promising for the excitement of the playoffs.
Dont think i can catch Braintree and the horrendous January we had really did put paid to any serious challange to them,
from the 26th December to 29th January
Really put the brakes on the seasonand coincided with injuries to my playmaker Milenov and my DM Ivanov, have won the last five since their return so back on track but i fear to far back.
Play Braintree away next so a good result could get us right back in there
Heres hoping
Playing Braintree:
Decided on going attacking as need a win if there are any hopes of automatic promotion
Get In 0 - 1 Adam Tong Header from a corner in the 6th Minute (maybe we can do this)
HT: 0 - 1 Still ahead, but have been totally outplayed, think a slightly more defensive/counter attacking style is required
Well here Goes nothing
We are totally penned back in our own half, and i can feel an equaliser coming, the lads at the back have been outstanding so far, hope thay can keep it up
We've hit the post
Lightning break from a defensive corner and a 20 yard screamer from Ivanov cracks the post and avoids Keetings on the rebound - Really could have done with a 2nd
20 mins left to hold out
1 - 1 75 mins - Couldnt clear a free kick and it was rifled in from around the penalty spot, gutted, but i cant say they havent deserved it
Am going to risk the loss and go for the win, back to attacking and if we lose another then at least we went for it, a draw us no favours at all
2 - 1 I dont believe this, 2 in a minute from Braintree. Didnt even get time for my changes before they hit a screamer from about 30 yds right in the top corner, looks like play offs will be the best we can hope for now
90+2 We have hit the post again and then its cleared off the line, a cracker from the edge of the box from Milenov, guess it just wasnt our day
FT: 2 - 1 to Braintree, we had our chances but couldnt take them, 2 minutes of madness cost us and with it i fear goes the automatic promotion place
We stay in second despite the loss but are now 10 pts behind Braintree with 9 Games remaining

Best of luck against Braintree
Merthyr 2011-2012 BSS
Champions! After Christmas my team was gelling nicely, producing some great football.
League table
When i took over Merthyr, they had a young regen winger who was touted as a player with a future at the club. Now he's worth a £100k, and it's getting hard to hold on to him, being 600k in the red :o
Scott profile
Scott history
Aims for the new season:
Survive in BSP
get a good cup run, desperately need the cash, I have cut the squad to the bone, so need to keep everyone fit.
Got completely thrashed by Sheffield United, 5-0, but made £215k in gate reciepts, which is very nice.
Wealdstone are a third of the way through the season and we've firmly established ourselves as the division's draw specialists, with three wins, nine draws and just two defeats. However, there is disappointment among the fans about our recent FA Cup first round defeat to League One Millwall. The Stones were considered among the challengers for the FA Cup, and our exit has taken many by surprise.
Farnborough 2011/2012 BSS
season review this evening
Congrats Rattlesnake
Been trying to play as Norwich City without much success so I'm going to give this challenge a go again. Got bored of it in 09 but managed top half Premier League in 08, I think I'll get bored this year I haven't really got into the tactics side this year. Maybe this will give FM10 a big boast that I need after struggling in 4-5 games as Norwich.
Starting out as King's Lynn. My Profile.
thanks roberto
27 games in with Nuneaton and I'm sitting 2nd, 2 points behind the leaders Blyth. The frustrating thing about my team at the moment is how inconsistent we are, it's always a win or two followed by a draw or a loss - rinse repeat! Oh well
What sort of gates are everyone getting? my highest is 500 and I'm losing 20k a month, not very good at all. On the pitch though things are going from strength to strength.
I get around 600 for an FA Cup tie against a Blue Square team, 1400 against Millwall. By contrast my general league attendance is around the 400 mark.

Never successfully completed one of these challenges but I'm determined to give this one a proper go
After a few reloads I managed to get Kendall Town
Here's my manager profile
In league one we still only have a capacity of 2000 and we have an average attendance of 1993 which is 3000 less then the next lowest team in the league, really doesn't help financially but we had a cup game at Stamford bridge last season that made the club around £500k which has basically kept the club afloat. We are still only able to sign free transfers though but have managed to sell a couple of players finally, was struggling during the summer but the Jan transfer window has led to clubs making better bids.
I'm getting stuck with tactics I'm playing a simple 442 with roles to suit my players and have a decent squad I was 2nd and was close to going 1st but since December my tactic has not been doing so well I'm in Jan and have not won a game in 6 and I'm slowly droping out the play-off places It is just a bit weird of such a change in form.
Lol, thenonleaguefootballpaper.com in the game has run a poll whether my backup right midfielder/right back should be in the first team. The results were 92% no, 8% undecided, 0% yes. Seems I am making the right decision in not playing him
Progress so far, Billericay Town.
2010-11 was a hard year, struggled with tactics and form but survived the season finishing 17th:
League Table
League Positions
2011-2012 was better but not great, started to get the hang of tactics somewhat better but ultimately only managed mid-table. A good FA Cup run got me to the third round where I held Exeter to a home replay which really helped with funds although I got well beaten:
League Table
I forgot to take screenshots at the end of the season so this is the historical table.
2012-13 went fairly well, managed to maintain some consistency and stay in top half of the table. Somehow managed to get a playoff place and then had the experience of play-offs.
Drew 1-1 at home first leg of semi, and pulled back from 1-0 down to win 2-1 away to get to the final against Thurrock.
91st minute header by one of my DCs sealed a flukey victory, had been held deep down and fully expected a loss but by luck more than judgement kept them out and the late winning goal had me shouting with glee (probably to the neighbours annoyance).
League Table
League Positions
Now about to start my first season in BSP and try not to get relegated!
Has anyone had the boot yet? Most people seem to be doing relatively well
Money wise Im 24k in debt after 20 games in my first season, my average attendance is 438 so nothing special, Im currently spending 3.2k wages.. what sort of wages are others spending in their first season?
A few have, but you have to tell the board you'll get promoted at the start to get sacked really, most teams will expect you to be in a relegation battle so unless you are silly and suggest you will over-achieve the boards at this level can be quite forgiving.
Continuing on from the comment about gates, only 6000 will attend the FA Trophy final at Wembley.
Interestingly, 13 games into my League 2 campaign Bradford are sitting second from bottom with an average attendance of over 10,000!

I'm managing Boston too, Drewski. My youth team's fairly good, beat Newcastle's and Everton's in the FA Cup.
I'm 3rd in my second season in the BSN, how about you?
I've just sold a promising striker for 250k, literally in dreamland!
And moments later Crewe have offered me the job, 79k budget and they finished 7th in league one this year.
Kings Lynn Update - BSN 2010/11
Following the defeat to Braintree i was concenrned that our season may tail off, I couldnt have been more wrong,
Following that defeat we were 10 pts behind them with 9 games remaining
Now 3 games left and only 2 pts in it,
The team have been on fire and really kicked on since, leading to 6 succesive wins, at the same time Braintree have had their first real dip of the season gaining only 3 wins in that time but crucially 2 defeats aswell
The teams run since the January slump ended now stands at P12 W11 D0 L1
One last push and we may yet get automatic promotion, even if we dont the boys have put in a fantastic effort to close the gap and will be on fire for the play offs
And that's my first win of the season, a 1-0 win at home to Kings Lynn, I think if I am to stand any chance of finishing in mid-table then my home form will be the key.
Season 2010/11 - Cambrige City - New Year Update
Well, I've gotten through the first half season and so far it's gone way beyond expectations. We are currently 8th after 20 games. Although we started far better and where to of the league at one point. The best players so far have been Charlie Sheringham, James Keatings and Valentin Milenov. We went out in the FA cup against Sutton Utd in the 3rd qualifying round. In the FA Trophy we went out against Welling from Blue Square Premier in the 1. round.
While everything are going well on the pitch, off is another matter. Our finances are rapidly going south, much because we only average 359 attendants a game. I am a bit over my wage budget, but not much though. Hopefully we can finish the season as we have started it and maybe push for a play-off.
Just had a news article with the title Gr-Andrew. God that is a horrible superlative to use for Calvin Andrew
Season 11/12 - Merthyr - BSS
Was a rather poor season yet again, we started off crap up until around February, then just had a decent run, where we lost about 5 games in 15/16. We could have made the playoffs IMO, but for a poor away record, where the last 5 games we lost, were all away iirc.
Not going to go into detail, because again, there was nothing of note, bar a takeover from inside. Which I can possibly put down to lack of form, but the players were never really unhappy, so I don't know.
1 game left in the season, and I am 1 point off the top of the table team, Mansfield. I obviously would prefer to win the league, but my last game is at home to Mansfield. Game of Carshaltons career easily, deciding whether we go up automatically, or have to try our luck in the playoffs. My keeper is on painkilling injections to get through the game as well.
Well that's a great start for my new Kendall save. I've only got 3 centre backs and now one of them is out for 3 months with a hip injury. I haven't even played any games yet!
Someone has completed 6 seasons of this already?
Damn. My copy hasn't even turned up yet.
Hello chaps,
I hope nobody will mind me posting this here. As all of you are starting in the Conference North or South, I thought it would be worth posting this message up.
To anyone experiencing strange movement between the Conference North/Conference South, could you please report it on this thread in the bugs forum.
In other words, if you see a team based in the south of England who you feel should definitely be playing in the Conference North (I've seen two examples here of Hayes & Yeading and Billericay) or vice-versa (i.e. a northern team in the Conference South) then please post it up in the bugs forum.
SI are looking into the ways that clubs are assigned to regional divisions and I would guess that the more evidence they have, the better it will be. Hopefully then SI will get to the bottom of it.
Thanks chaps. Good luck in your challenges.
Hendon 2014/2015 League One Review
Well the season has just ended and we finished in 18th place but only one point above the relegation zone, however we were safe with 3 games to go but lost them all and ended up finishing lower then had expected. Overall after switching from the 4132 into a 451 with attacking wingers I think we were alot weaker then usual and have decided to sell my wingers and stick with the narrow 4132 next season and see where that takes us.
I would say if my youngsters progressed like I expected that we'd mount a challenge but it seems they have stopped progressing due to poor training facilities which unfortunately makes me worry a little as we have an extremely young squad without much experience. Do I stick with them or try to add some experience? I don't really know at this stage as I can't really spend much this summer as usual and the experienced guys always want around £3kpw from me which is just way too much when I only get 2000 max at my home games.
We did absolutely nothing of note in the cups also as Plymouth knocked us out in the first round of the league cup, Southend knocked us out of the Johnstones Trophy that we won last season and Crystal Palace dumped us out in the first round of the fa cup. This obviously impacted the finances a fair bit as they have been the main source of my income since getting promoted into the football league.
Will write a more detailed preview to next season as I really have alot to do in selling my wingers and sorting my squad back into a narrow formation minded one, lots to do this summer I think so will get onto it.
League Table
I've won the league. A tight 1-0 win over Mansfield, Laurent Robert getting the goal in the 21st minute, means that I win the league on 98 points, 13 more than what won the league, in fact up to 4th place got more points than the title winners last season. Turned out to be a good idea to put my keeper on painkillers after all, stopped some vital shots to keep me in it.
Professional football, here we come.
First time in any lower league game I have ever played in FM that I have got promoted automatically without needing the playoffs, from FM08 to now
The cash flow situation in this game is actually quite irritating, I cant see any reason why I'm losing so much money per month. I'm 129k in the red and only half way through the season. I'm within budget...I don't get it.
i have decieded to start again after my computer crashed and i lost all football manager files (and other stuff) So this time i will backup my saves and have a go with my hometown Nuneaton who i supported as a kid.
i will give my profile soon
Well done Rattlesnake i am at Jan with my 'Boro game and sitting 4th but about 10 points off leaders H&W. Hope to make the playoffs tho'. Good luck in BSP
I'm favoured personnel as well, and I am getting a statue built for me outside the ground. Good times.
Also had my staff limit expanded to 6 coaches and 4 scouts, which I thought couldn't expand before the reset date. Getting myself in terms of coaching a keeper coach, a youth coach, and two normal coaches with very good stats to train the players in areas that my only coach was lacking in.

Season Review 2: Farnborough BSS 2011/2012
Final Table: http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/y...table11-12.jpg
Positions Graph: http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/y...graph11-12.jpg
After a slow first half to the season I finally, after a year and a half managed to find a tactic that worked for my team (4-3-1-2) and as a result the second half to the season was great. We destroyed many a team, but with our attack minded approach we often left the back four exposed resulting in quiet a few high scoring games reflected in my high numbers of goals for/against.
Knocked out early in both cups. Had hoped to have a run and get some cash but i'll settle for the 2nd placed finish instead
Squad: http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/y...squad11-12.jpg
Loads of players left over the course of the season, both because they simply were not good enough and also to help my financial situation which is still well over the -200k mark. The squad as it stands would I imagine be good enough to servive in BSP. I will try and get some freebies from League 2 that will help me to climb the table a bit.
Star Player 1: http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/y...aldprofile.jpg
My on loan star man at the back was great all season, will try and get him again for the BSP. When he returned to Reading he said he enjoyed his time here so...fingers crossed.
Star Player 2: http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/y...leyprofile.jpg
My Irish playmaker was fantastic just behind front two in acm role, chipped in with fair share of goals and created quite a few.
Transfers: http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/y...sfers11-12.jpg
There were more out goings but couldn't get them all on pic.
Aims for next season:
- Stay up
- earn some cash
- learn lessons from last year (dont rotate squad needlessly and consistency with tactics)
- improve squad with better defenders so that i can continue to play attacking tactic but not leak as many goals.
Season - League - Final Position - Achievements
2010/2011 - BSS - 11 - N/a
2011/2012 - BSS - 2 - Playoff winners

Congrats Rattlesnake!
Meet my new strike force:
Kyle Wilson
Tesfaye Bramble
Both for free!
Bramble is actually worse than his brother for me
I was proud of him as well.
Sutton Utd: Fa Cup Run
Fa Cup 2nd Qualifying Round: Sutton Utd 0-0 Ashford (Middlesex)
Fa Cup 2nd Qual Round Replay: Ashford (Middlesex) 0-1 Sutton Utd
Fa Cup 3rd Qualifying Round: Sutton Utd 1-0 Chippenham
Fa Cup 4th Qualifying Round: Staines (BSS) 0-1 Sutton Utd
Fa Cup 1st Round: Bristol Rovers (L1) 2-1 Sutton Utd
We played poorly in the early rounds and were fortunate to beat ashford on the 2nd attempt as they had played better than us in both matches. The poor form continued against chippenham but we ground out a win. We played much better against Staines and deserved the victory which should have been by 2 or 3 goals.
It had to end somewhere and i had little faith in my team getting a result against bristol rovers. We were played out of the park by them and the result flattered us. We even had a chance to clutch a draw when mark millar hit the post in the dying seconds after fitchett had made it 2-1 in the 88th min. Fitchett has been awesome for me this year scoring 11 in 14 appearances.
Only gained 44k from the bristol rovers match i was hoping for more
here is my profile. I could have chosen Nuneaton like i said but Hornchurch caught my eye(sorry about my profile not being a link its just im hopeless with technology)
thanks for the congratulations
Boston Utd - Blue Square North - 2011/2012
Predicted: 3rd
Finished: 3rd
This had to go better than last season and for the most part it seemed it would. The problems became very evident right from the start of the season when we drew far too many matches with teams we (without bragging) should have d*cked over. It became almost a given that my players were not going to be reliable when it came to crunch moments in the season and how that came to kick me in the teeth.
After drawing the most amount of games I think I have ever experienced in one season playing Football Manager we began to start actually beating teams. In fact we went on a long unbeaten run (including the previous annoying draws) and kept winning for at least 8 or 9 games.
We were closing in on the top position (Stafford) and with three points between us, we met at York Street for giant clash. We took the lead and things looked like it was going swimmingly, however they pulled one back. We then took it again to them and forced a second. Then half way through the second half we decided (or two players..in two seperate incidents) that we were going to bloody hand it too them. Firstly my left back decided to play a long ball..right across our box (stunning..absolutely stunning) handing it on a plate for two Stafford strikers to one two between them and put it past my keeper. Then my centre back decides that he can't be bothered to jump in the dying minutes of the match and allows Stafford's striker again to nod one against the stump and in. Bollocks. No worth spit this team and it was about to get worse.
My best player (well..when he feels like it) James Keating gets injured in the last match of the season for 5 or 6 weeks. Ruling him out of the play offs completely. Writing was on the wall.
Our semi-final play offs last season were not great performance wise but nevertheless close matches. This one..again close but generally my players just looked so untrustworthy keeping their head and within 10-20 minutes of the first leg, my centre back gets sent off for a cynical foul. Tactics my arse, told him to go bloody easy! My guys lose 2-1 in the first leg and the second leg..they just don't give what it takes and go out..close..but with a whimper.
Playoff Leg One
Playoff Leg Two
Now I think (as I think about another season in BSN) I will have to sell a lot of these players and rebuild from scratch. Maybe bar a couple of genuinely good League 2 players, I need to get this squad sorted so I can storm this league next season and leave it behind me.

Carshalton BSP Season Review 2013-14 - 1st (Champions)
The media predicted me to come 24th, the board asked for me to avoid relegation, which I said I would. The media constantly all season told me that I would slip up and fall into obscurity. However, that never happened, and we looked like winning the league comfortably.
However, I did suffer a slight slump in form, but luckily, the lead I had from before was enough to always keep me in the game, and come the last day of the season, I was 1 point behind Mansfield. I beat them 1-0, with a Laurent Robert goal (who unfortunately is retiring at the end of next season). So next season will get me League 2 football, and professional status.

Gutted .
I'm really proud tho . We played great against a Premiership team and we had our chances .
1-0 down, then 2-1 up and finished the game losing 3-2 against Weymouth.
I think it's time to start employing the 'park the bus' strategy as soon as i get infront from now on...
Im looking forward to a massive clean out of my squad at the end of the season too

Season 2011/2012 - Tonbridge Angels
Following 'success' (success being defined as staying up), I told the board we should've been challenging for promotion at least. Bad mistake. When we didn't challenge for promotion at all, my head was on the line. However, we finished comfortably in mid-table which can only show signs of improvement, a definite plus.
League Finish: 16th
League Graph
We did hover so slightly at the top for one game; it tasted sweet and I wanted more but the boys struggled from then on.
Only one transfers but personally I think it was excellent. Eastham was a rock in defence. Thos who left were not needed and Vickers was just too old for the team, despite having good attributes. Currently, our finances are awful
FA Cup
A good run was ended by Torquay in the 2nd round and by a late equaliser after we had come from 2 goals down to draw. We had squeezed past Tooting & Micham, thumped Hastings United, struggled and managed to overcome Horsham and then went onto thump BSP side Darlington in the first round before falling to Torquay.
FA Trophy
We fell to fellow Blue Square South side Welling after leading and dominating for most of the match. We had thumped Carshalton to get here but we couldn't progress further and we crashed out.
Key Player Profiles
Michal Dolinajec - The 20 year old had another marvellous season, providing and scoring. He had 16 goals and 15 assists mostly playing in his favoured AMC position so an excellent contribution from him.
Ashley Eastham - An absolute solid rock in defence, shut out the opposition most of the time. Managed to get up the other end three times to score as well, including a debut goal.
Fabio Ferreira - Fabio had a great season despite not scoring or providing. He was normally the passer to the provider as he slotted into the AMR position very well.
John Leonard - The midfielder played in his favoured defensive midfield position for the majority of the season and was completely solid throughout - he even managed to hit two 30+ yard screamers which had me very pleased.
Kyle Wilson - Well, Super Kyle was excellent this year. Played as a lone striker and chipped in with 18 goals for himself and even layed on 10 for others. I couldn't have asked for more and only hope he can continue this form..

Right. Level 10 just takes too long, so I'm going to give this challenge another go. Anyone got a Boreham Wood Holiday Man Save?
I bet this stupid question has been asked half a million times, but are there any rules when it comes to signing staff? I wasn't able to find anything in the OP, but I might just be blind!
Either way, I'm gonna start this challenge with Boreham Wood once they turn up.. have reloaded about 50 times by now, and have yet to see them.
What is it with the fixture list in December I play on Sat 10th, then Mon 26th, Wed 28th, Sat 31st, Mon 1st Jan, Sat 14th Jan - I'm forced to play 4 games in a week, with a two week break eitehr side
Michael I know this is off topic - but any news on your netbook skin and if it's released? I despise full screen modes but I'm forced to use it for screenshots and the like.
Annoyingly I haven't recieved much of a wage increase, and now I have to get players on full time contracts, it is going to cost a lot more. Going to have to keep players on part time for now.
Got an Italian coming in that was released by Man Utd (real person too) with Championship potential and League 1 ability
hi guys need help plz this is my first time trying a challange just wanted to ask when i choose my team it says head coach ? and not manager any help thx
After 7 seasons with Merthyr (4 straight seasons in L2 now), I've come to the following conclusions:
1) The war for talent is a lot tougher in this years version -- you can't just load up on academy dropouts like you can in FM08 and FM09 -- you actually have to make a lot more tradeoffs (i.e., one 4 star player wants 1000 per week vs. another one who wants 300 per week) which requires doubling down on scouting
2) Finances are pretty tricky -- even staying within your budget may lead to losses if you don't make good cup runs or really, really squeeze players during negotiations
3) It's unclear which tactics are the most effective -- in previous manifestations you could kind of stick to a proven system and you'd do pretty well
This probably reflects reality a lot more -- but is requiring some adjustments, to be sure.
Just my two cents . . .
Halcha. If you find Boreham Wood, please upload the game?!
2010/11 BSN - 7th
2011-12 Season - Nuneaton Town
Blue Square North: 7th
FA Cup: 3rd Qualifying Round (lost to Alfreton)
FA Trophy: 3rd Round (lost to Corby)
Summary: Despite my overwhelming feeling being that we regressed from last year, managed to only pick up 2 points less and finish in the same position. Found the goalscorer I wanted, but sprung a leak in the back. Complete revamp of the squad and playing system required methinks.

Tonbridge Angels Season Review 10-11
First season ends without promotion but a promising season all the same. Finishing 3rd and being in with a shout of the title until the penultimate game. We had a very young squad which lead to quite a few mistakes but they've now had a full season of football so expecting us to come back and be a force again next season and push for the title.

Oh yes, now have to try and get past Walsall at home in the Fourth Round.
I'm in the play-offs!
Question - I've got 1 game left before the season's over. How long after the last game are the play-offs, i.e. is it worth it resting my first team for the redundant final league game?
My attendance is now at................... 600, I'm playing in league two so I had expected the increase to be more than 100 fans.
Anyone else stuggling to sell players in the BSP for actual money?
I'm trying to sell several players who won't sign new contracts before the Irish and Welsh teams poach them for free, but even the ones worth £20K-£50K are only recieving bids of £0 plus a 20%-50% sell on clause from League One and League Two teams
I think I have sold one payer, who was championship quality for money, everyone else has been free.
I could be wrong on that but I think its right.
So sounds about right to me.
promotion has allowed me 8 coaches and 6 scouts, nice

K is a field and f is an automorphism of K. We're also given that the order of f, as an element of the group Aut(K), is not finite. Is it always possible to find a field L which contains K and an automorphism of L, say g, such that g = f over K and the fixed field of g is algebraically closed in L?
I think if you take $K=\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and $f$ almost any element of $\mathrm{Gal}(K/\mathbb{Q})$ (if $f^2 \neq \mathrm{Id}$, $f$ cannot be of finite order), you get a counter-example.
It is in fact never possible if the fixed field $K^f$ is not algebraically closed in $K$, since in that case, $K \cap L^g = K^f$, and $K$ (hence $L$) contains a nontrivial algebraic extension.
If you were to add the assumption that $K^f$ is algebraically closed in $K$, then the answer is yes. We can take $L=K$.

I got the job as a Consultant in a firm that has 3 other programmers. My job is to rewrite all the old system in Java, Spring etc but the staff programmers only know perl and the manager does not know any programming.
I am trying to get them to understand that I have 6 projects to rewrite here but no one has design docs or spec. the staff programmers never had to write any documents. Plus I cant get the manager to understand the new java tech stuff.. he keeps asking some of the staff for views on things but the staff don't know it or understand it.
Where do I go from here to make the manager understand that the staff programmers or someone has to write a design document so I know what to build. or if I have to write the documents how do I get the information?

Baseball is just Baseball: The Understated Ichiro [book review]
I usually post by book reviews on on my other site, but Baseball is just Baseball: The Understated Ichiro seems like it belongs here.
Before I get into this, here are a few things I think you should know up front:
- You know what Yogi-isms are, right? Well, this is a book of Ichiro-isms.
- Essentially, this is a really small coffee table book – it's not a biography or anything like that. You're not going to learn about his childhood in here.
- Although Ichiro is wearing a Yankee uniform on the front cover, the back cover and in every picture inside the book, all of the quotes are from 2001.
It's selling like hot cakes on Amazon – as of this writing, there are only 19 copies left, which I am totally shocked by. I keep underestimating Ichiro. The guy can still play, and I forget how famous he is. It's also available on Kindle, so hard copies aren't the only avenue to pursue. Here's a few highlights via slide show:
Here are some additional Ichiro quotes:
Experience reality rather than your expectation of reality.
Believe in yourself.
Don't take yourself seriously, but find an activity to be passionate about and take that activity very seriously.
Don't buy the hype.
Dissolve hate into love.
Care more about the process than the product.
Find joy in the seeking itself.
The guy doesn't just have great bat control – he's got great inner self control, too.
If you love Ichiro, you need this book. It's not the most comprehensive guide into his mind, but it's a snap shot of how he thinks. "Failure is the mother of success" is actually quite profound, but when asked why he didn't slide when stealing third, he answered "I didn't think he would throw," and that's this book in a nutshell. Ichiro isn't going to give you any complex explanations; if you tell him there's a fire, he's not going to give you point by point directions, he's going to tell you, "Put it out." From a more baseball perspective, someone asked him about a tough catch and he responded that he made the catch because the ball was hit to him. He's not interested in over-complicating things, and that's what you get here, cover to cover.
It's a real shame there aren't any new quotes here and it's a bit misleading that he's wearing a Yankee uniform in every photo, but this is still worth a look for Ichiro fans and philosophy fans alike.

I have started using the HTC Wildfire, and have a small niggle with it. When making a call, the screen blacks out to conserve power. This makes it awkward when you have to enter a number i.e. for an automated phone call response. Is there a setting to display the screen during a call?
I'm not sure about the Wildfire, but on my Desire HD when I take the phone from my face, the motion sensor detects it and re-awakens the screen automatically. I'm not sure if it's a setting, a Froyo feature, or maybe an HTC sense feature.
What you're looking for is Screebl - a background service that monitors the phone's orientation, and based on that orientation decides when to allow the phone's power-saving features to operate.
There's a PRO version too that allows for integration with Locale amidst other extra features.
Also check out Shake Awake from Maplekey (in the market) - it allows you to wake the phone during a call with a shake.
I also think that pressing the HOME key should turn the screen on again. Try and let us know.
In your phone dialer enter the following sequence:
will show you Shutdown App configuration - you can choose to have the device power off directly instead of showing the menu for Airplane Mode / Power Off etc. when you long-press the power button. There's also an option for keeping the LCD on during the duration of a call.
Have you tried a longer screen timeout?
I am not sure on Wildfire, but I am using HTC hero.
You could have a try to press the key (like home, return or anything) or press the optical mouse, then it back to the phone call screen, then you can press num key after pressing the lower left hand corner Bn from the UI.

Due to test-driven development, one ends up with many classes doing just one thing. It is quite a headache just to see where such classes would be placed inside the folder structure.
First of all, is it considered a bad-pattern, to put related classes in the same file?
Any suggestion on what one uses in actual-production environments?

Back in 2009 I posted these pictures about how I like to do my steaks. I have found it is more juicy and much more beneficial to reverse sear steaks. A friend of mine that writes a fantastic blog Greek Food & Beyond asked what steaks we prefer (my fav is a porterhouse- truly the best of all world). It reminded me of this post I had done.
Start with an indirect method for charcoal. Maintain a grill level temp of between 225-250F
PLace your steaks on the indirect side of the grill. Close lid and bring the temperature of the steaks up to 115F internally. Depending on your steaks thickness this can be 20-25 minutes.
Remove steaks and tent lightly with foil. Bring your grill up to 400-500F
Return steaks to grill directly to form a great crust on both sides and an internal temperature of 125F Rare or 130F for medium rare.
Remove from grill and rest for 5-10 minutes. As you slice into the steak you will notice that it is pink from top to bottom with no "gray line" . The crust will be well developed. It will be much more juicy and flavorful throughout. I really encourage anyone to do this method and compare it side by side to a traditionally cooked steak seared first then with lower temperatures.

I was able to help this person by recommending the backported package of driver our kernel team provides. I had a hunch this would work because I happen to have the same hardware. I suspect it might be able to help this person too however I am not sure which drivers get backported.
I did a
apt-get source linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic but this just gives me a debian directory with the packaging with no indication of what drivers get included. Where can I find which drivers get backported?
Ideally I'd like to find a web page that has this information so I can refer to it for older releases as well.

I am trying to show an algebraic number field $F$ is the field of fractions of its ring of integers $D_F$.
I presume that what I have to show is that for any non-zero $b \in F$, where $b = c/d$ that $c, d \in D_F$
I have started by assuming $b\in F$ is an algebraic number. I can show that any element of $F$ (as an algebraic number field) satisfies a not-necessarily monic polynomial. And clearing denominators, the polynomial becomes:
$a_nb^n + a_{n - 1}b^{n - 1} + \dots + a_0 = 0$ where $a_i \in \mathbb{Z}$
Then multiplying through by $a_n^{n - 1}$ gives a monic polynomial with integral coefficients:
$(a_{n}b)^n + a_{n - 1}(a_{n}b)^{n - 1} + \dots + a_{n}^{n - 1}a_0 = 0$, so $a_{n}b \in D_F$
Hopefully I'm on the right track. I would appreciate any corrections to what I've done. And if this is correct, I would appreciate help finishing.
Thanks very much.
