Upon making rank 10 in the military, I noticed i only work once a week. i found a part time job that doesnt make me work on that day. I decided i would try juggling both for some extra cash and so i can work on the other sims in the family a bit more. Turns out the game doesnt let me do both jobs and I lost my progress in the Military. Was curious if i rejoined the military would I be at rank 10 again or would I start over?
From personal experience, you wouldn't be rank 10, but you wouldn't be rank 1 either. A forum post I found (7th down, by hhhh182) says you start back at 50% of your previous rank, so in your case, that would be rank 5. I tried to find a reliable wiki source, but unfortunately failed. Other posters share their experience of losing a few ranks after quitting, but not having to start all the way over from rank 1. All pay raises you gained will be lost though.
You can check in the newspaper or on the computer what job title the military is looking for without having to take the job. I don't believe they give the ranks, but here they are with their base pay:
You will have to start over at Rank 1, unfortunately.
An easy way to get back your rank is to cheat. It sounds bad but it is not actually cheating. What you do is you hold ctrl+shift+C, then type in

Feather Hi-Stainless Platimum Double Edge Razor Blades 100 Ct: Health & Personal Care for $36.02 + free shipping
I had posted a previous deal for 50 of these for $19.94, from the same merchant. That price has since gone way up and I expired it, after it was brought to my attention.
$36.02 for 100 of these works out to $18.01 per 50 blades. A big purchase if you don't know how the Feathers will work for you, but a great deal if you already know!
5 Comments add a comment
If you don't mind waiting for them, you can find a deal on eBay for $29.99 for these while it lasts........they ship 3 days after payment received and said up to 30 days after that.
Here is the eBay deal if you want to see it. It looks like a good deal, not sure about the service if you have any problems, but it is a great price for these.
Yay for more blade deals! I got my 50 from your previous deal on Amazon and I'm waiting to use some 7 O'Clock Yellows before I move on to the Feathers.
I usually stick with Amazon, but thanks for posting the eBay link. I always have a hard time remembering what the deals.woot rules are with eBay vendors.
@drfaulken: I haven't tried those yet, but will keep them in mind. I like the feathers when I can find them on sell, and agree with the Amazon comment!
I bought mainly off of ebaY, until Amazon started the free shipping with over $25 orders. I like that better, but hope Amazon sticks with UPS, as I've had some problems when they have used Lasership!
@drfaulken: Should I not have included the ebaY link?

My team relies a lot on colour within our code to outline features that need to be worked on (we colour lines of code that need attention). We have a close friend who is colourblind and wants to join our team. What can we do to highlight what needs work without using colour? We have about 25 people on the team that are all accustomed to the line colouring system and we have found it to be most efficient.

We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
Show him the colors you use to highlight code, and have him tell you which ones he can't tell apart.
Then change those colors to ones he can work with.
One of the developers I regularly collaborate with is colorblind. The issue isn't just that he can't tell colors apart, but also that he doesn't tend to think much about color. He, and other colorblind people, learn to make it a nonissue to the point where color, even that they can tell apart, becomes a bad tool for distinguishing things. We were talking a little bit ago about Xbox games -- some badly written games distinguish what buttons to press by color alone. Even if they choose colors he can tell apart, his brain isn't set up to pay attention to color and differentiate on it.
Your current system is broken. There's no two ways about that. If his colorblindness even raises a question about him working with you, there's something terribly wrong. Maybe there's some learning to work with him (my friend will have to verify colors with us if he does visual design work, for example), but it shouldn't come up at all in the decision making. He can also be an incredibly valuable resource in developing accessible applications by helping you verify them very easily.
Aside from my colorblind friend, one of the big design projects I had in college was a very heavily visual application for a colorblind client. We didn't see it as a limitation, but rather an opportunity to learn. We found an awesome tool called Vischeck that simulated what colorblind people see (all different kinds). It's a good thing to learn these techniques now with your friend who will likely just roll with it while you get on board. If you wait until you have a candidate that you can't hire simply because he can't see the same colors as you do (doesn't that strike you as absurdly silly?), you're going to get yourself into all kinds of trouble.
Now, this isn't to say that you have to do away with the colors. If they work for you, great. Just don't make them the primary method of spreading information across the team, make them an extra additional help. Think of syntax highlighting in a code editor. The code is perfectly readable without it. Even someone who pays no regard at all to color can use the editor with absolutely no issues. The colors are there for the convenience of the people who will use them, nothing more.
I am not a lawyer or HR professional but this quote: "with a team of about 25 people it's impractical to implement a completely different system" raises red flags with ADA rules.
Unless full color sight is a specific requirement of the job you cannot discriminate against the disability of color blindness and must make reasonable accommodations to allow him to work. Impracticality is not a defense in a discrimination lawsuit, though I'll repeat again that I'm not a lawyer.
Something simple like making the colors configurable would suffice, configurable display options is just common sense.
Sound. Shape. Font. Style. Size. Text Comments.
You can't think of these on your own? If you can't come up with alternatives, why does anyone want to work with you?
(Yes. Sound. There are numerous screen readers and adaptive devices for the blind. Numerous. You couldn't find a single one? Really?)
Whatever happened to leaving helpful comments? Really, I would think that just leaving comments like "this needs some work", "this should be refactored", "to be implemented", or "completely broken here, fix immediately" would be a lot more effective than some crazy color scheme. Written comments can be immediately comprehended by anyone (even a blind person, if he/she has a screen reader). Also, you can do it in a regular text editor and not some in-house tool that the new guy would have to learn how to use.
Is this person completely color blind? This is very uncommon; most cases of color blindness are rather specific, i.e. red and green look the same, but all other colors just work. You could select a set of colors that is unambiguous even for specific kinds of color blindness (possibly even several types).
Alternatively, the colors could be complemented with simple symbols (how do you add color to text files anyway?)
You should use semantic markup rather than coloring lines.
And then you let him adapt the stylesheet to suit his needs. Also this is purely textual, so it's suitable for version control.
Lastly, a ready to use option would be to use a semantic text editor such as Ulysses. You can tag and mark different types of sections and assign formats to section types. You can also comment different sections and so on. Also it has a HTML exporter (among others), so it's actually quite suitable for writing documentation.
Add an additional system that conveys the same information that your use of colour provides.
This could be:
Or anything else, really. However, the disturbing issue here is that you seem to think that these constitute a "completely different system" - that's not the case - your existing users can choose to ignore them entirely and rely on colours, if they so choose.
Assign each task a numeric rank and keep the list sorted.
Late to the party, but: Color Oracle is a program that runs on your computer and makes your desktop look like it would to a person with any of the different types of colorblindness. Run it with your IDE open, and tweak the colors you use for various things. Very few people are totally colorblind, in the sense that they can't perceive any color differences at all; you might be able to choose a set of colors that works for this person and for your team.
The very simplest thing would probably be to take a few hours and add a new symbol to go with each color (lik3 # with red; @@ for blue, etc) and put it in a comment line near the colored text. This way the color-blind person can just search for all # and find all red lines. He can't scan a page and have color jump out at him, but there's little textual information than could do that for him anyway (color really is a powerful sensory experience for humans).
But I agree that you should probably just begin the transition to an issue tracker; this sounds like you have cobbled together something potentially inefficient (although of course I haven't seen what you have).
It's a no brainer, but really, do not rely a lot on color, on your code.
And in general, do not rely in a mandatory editing system.
Establishing a proper indenting convention is already quite hard, time consuming, a matter of feuds, and a source of discontent. Mandating color would make most people I know mount the barricades.
From comments I see that you're using a tool that you've developed in house. Given that, the solution is simple. Go through the code line by line and mark every line that impacts the way code is displayed as needing significant improvement. Then, fix your code. The value that your tool provides isn't in the particular color scheme you've chosen or even that the whole team currently uses one scheme. The value is that you can mark up code in a meaningful way. How that meaning is represented should be completely configurable. Think of the job as a welcome opportunity to improve your product.

A Few Out of the Box Metrics for Intraday Traders
1) P/L for Your Largest Trades - When you're at your most aggressive, do you make money or lose? Are you aggressive because you see genuine opportunity, or are you aggressive out of frustration?
2) P/L for Your Most Active Trading Days - When you're placing more trades, do you tend to make more money, or do the added trades detract from profitability? Are you trading more because more is going on in the markets, or are you trading more for reasons other than opportunity?
3) P/L as a Function of Market Condition - How much money do you make in volatile markets? Quiet ones? Range days? Trending markets? Breaking down P/L by market conditions can often highlight trading strengths as well as vulnerabilities.
4) P/L as a Function of Time of Day - Very often, traders perform differently in the morning, midday, and afternoon, as institutional participation (and market movement) varies with the clock. Tracing P/L as a function of time period can also highlight strengths and provide guidance for when you may want to trade most aggressively.
5) P/L Following Winning and Losing Days - How well do you trade after a winning day (or week)? After losing days or weeks? Do you become more cautious after losing periods, more aggressive, or do you trade the same? Do you tend to lose money after winning periods, or do you trade with greater confidence and flexibility after a green period? Patterns of winning and losing often reflect a trader's psyche: risk aversion, overconfidence, frustration, etc.
Coaching yourself begins with self-understanding. The more you know about your trading patterns, the more able you will be to build upon strengths and correct (or work around) weaknesses. The best way to not correct a problem pattern is to be unaware of it.

I have overconfidence, frustration, risk-aversion, etc. Not sure why but I have all or have had all possible problems, it seems. I've had to change a lot about my entire personality to get to improve. However, even with all of my financial loses, I would still go thru it all again because I actually needed to make those changes and nothing else but trading, I believe, could have been the catalyst for change.
I am much more focused now, but I still make mistakes based on my lack of being 100% focused, prepared, energized, positive, optimistic, happy, relaxed, healthy, aware, and able to associate multiple observations with technical definitions and formations.
I just started to blog my trading successes and failures. I'm hoping it will help me to have it sink in by "going public."

Just excellent tools, Brett!
I found 1) and 4) to be most useful.
1) is a good tilt indicator.
4) helped me to see which times of the day fit my approach the best.

Ten Things You Want Kids to Say about Their Hockey Playing Experience
When you get caught up in day-to-day coaching and the hectic pace of things going on, you may find it a challenge to keep a broader picture in perspective, such as where does playing minor hockey fit in the broad scheme of things for your players?
You owe it to yourself and your players to keep hockey and life in perspective, because your brief encounter is but one of thousands along the road of life — both theirs and yours. Yet that encounter can have a profound impact, especially on the kids. Here are ten statements from former minor hockey players that you can keep in your kit bag and refer to periodically to help you keep an eye on the end game.
I love hockey
You can give players a lasting love of the game. Teach them good basic hockey skills, help them appreciate a strong sense of team play, and invoke standards for sportsmanship. Do those three things, and you'll leave players with a positive experience that will keep them coming back to the game again and again.
Some of my minor hockey teammates are still my best friends
You can give players an opportunity to make lasting friendships. Give players the opportunity to learn each other's names and outside interests; give them opportunities to support and count on each other as teammates. That way, you give them a chance to become good friends.
Hockey taught me how far I can go with a little hard work
You can help instill a positive work ethic. Challenge players, set expectations, and reward accomplishments for them as individuals. Those things help them learn the value and pleasure of hard work.
A bit of teamwork can accomplish so much
You can help players learn the value of cooperation, trust, and interdependence. Cultivate an atmosphere of working together and helping each other out, showing examples of how much more can be accomplished with a little help from a friend.
Coach believed in me so much, I had to start believing in myself
You can go a long way toward giving players self-confidence and a sense of self-worth. Give players repeated opportunities to achieve — even little things — and acknowledge their achievements. Reinforce and remind them of what they do well and what is good and unique about them.
I still play, and I'm 73
You can help players develop an appreciation for a healthy, active lifestyle. Make fitness and activity feel good. Help players enjoy the freedom of movement, the competency of having strength, and the pleasure of physical capability.
There's nothing like swapping stories with a group of hockey players
You can give players a ready source of entertainment and sense of belonging wherever they go. Encourage locker-room banter and storytelling. Bring in guest hockey players to tell hockey stories. Create experiences that give players their own stories.
Coach made us think and break out of the mold, which helped me get where I am today
You can give players the freedom to develop independent thought and self-sufficiency. Encourage analytical thinking — and then trying and failing and learning from it. Support determination and commitment, which helps players stand on their own two feet.
Hockey taught me that discipline is not a bad word
You can give players a healthy respect for rules and authority. Give them opportunities to determine their own rules and to be their own authority when no one is looking. Provide rules and consequences and explain the advantages of having both. Help them set behavioral expectations for themselves and objectively discuss any failures to meet them. Teach players how respect is a two-way street.
I learned what it means to have passion for what I'm doing, and it's made my life full and exciting
You can help players to develop a zest for life. Help players to experience passion — for how they play, how they practice, how they help their teammates, and how they are as people on the ice and away from the rink. Encourage them to explore their passions no matter how temporary.


text: I've been having a lot of fun with sketching some fantastic animals and fantasy creatures lately so I wanted to upload a tutorial that I worked on this morning called how to sketch an eagle. Sketching is something that I am no pro at, but since I have been wanting to expand my capabilities with sketch drawing, I will be working on some new concepts in sketch format on different animals, people, and even maybe some buildings. The eagle came out to my satisfaction but I wish I could have done a better job. Striving for the very best is something that I try and do when it comes to creating new things. I think I mentioned this many times before about how much I love drawing birds. The eagle is one of my all time favorite bird species, so making a sketched version on one was pretty important to me. I would have liked to have sketched out an entire body or maybe even one in flight, but because my sketch drawing abilities are not as good as I'd like them to be, it's back to practicing, practicing, and more practicing. Included with the lesson is some tip steps that explain the shading process when sketching. Again, I am no pro so keep in mind that some of these techniques are new to me. Anyways, I do hope you enjoy this tutorial on sketching an eagle. I will return soon because there are still two more tutorials that need to go up. Adios and happy flying!

The 5 Most Frequently Misused Proverbs
#2. "Charity Begins at Home"
How We Use It
As a buzz term to protest against giving money to faceless strangers abroad. Google the phrase and you find a bunch of pundits and columnists all using it the same way: "Sure, some foreign country may have just been leveled by an earthquake or an exploding volcano, but there are starving people right here. We should fix the problems in our own country first -- after all, charity begins at home."
"This looks like a great place to dispose of a Ziploc bag full of my shit."
What It Originally Meant
"You should absolutely give money to those war-torn tsunami orphans, and the first step to doing so is to not be a douchebag."
"Charity begins at home" is one of those obnoxious phrases that people use to alleviate their guilt about never actually being charitable. But they are, of course, using the word "charity" in the sense that it's most commonly used today -- giving money or aid to poor people. When the phrase "charity begins at home" was first coined, the definition of "charity" was a little different. From Roman times up until recently, "charity" wasn't necessarily about giving alms. It was more of a state of mind, a mentality of kindness and benevolence. You know this if you've read a Bible, by the way -- the word for "charity" and the more general "love" are both translated from the same Greek word, "agape."
Which in turn means something totally different in porn.
The point being, when people first started saying "charity begins at home," what they were trying to get across was that being a loving person in the home leads to being a loving person out in the world. In other words, it served as an instruction about how to be more generous, which is kind of the opposite of the way it's used today as a warning against being too generous. Or, as other experts have pointed out, only an asshole could hear "charity begins at home" and interpret it to mean that it also ends there.
"Hey, it's the thought that counts, right? No?"
#1. "A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss"
How We Use It
"I know I've quit 10 jobs in three years, and having no fixed address makes it hard for the government to track me down for child support payments, but that's just my style. A rolling stone gathers no moss!"
The band the Rolling Stones took their name from this saying, and so did Rolling Stone magazine, after the phrase became popular as a way for bohemians, hippies, and beatniks to explain their philosophy. It's the perfect catchphrase for free spirits who don't want to cramp their style by putting down roots.
"Can't stick around. No moss, baby."
What It Originally Meant
"A rolling stone gathers no moss, which sucks because a naked, gray rock without any moss on it is an affront to all that is good. Fuck that mossless rock!"
Our first clue that this has been bastardized is the fact that versions of it go back almost 2,000 years, to ancient Roman rhetorician Quintilian. This was an era when the most rock star lifestyle imaginable involved owning a nice plot of land and paying your taxes on time. Nobody was writing about the virtues of being a free-spirited drifter back then.
Via Wikipedia
"A rolling stone dies a pauper's death, alone and freezing on the street."
In fact, Quintilian helpfully avoided the confusing "stones and moss" metaphor and used the much clearer "A plant often removed cannot thrive." Well, that makes more sense: If you keep ripping up a flower and replanting it every week, it's never going to grow. In fact, there were other versions over the centuries, which included "A tree often transplanted is never loaded with fruit" and "... as the rolling stone gathers no moss, so the roving heart gathers no affections," both of which have the advantage of not assuming that the listener likes mossy rocks in their yard.
But the moss-and-stone metaphor is the one that survived, and that's why the hippies could think that a proverb intended to encourage settling down not only supports bouncing around from place to place, but actually warns against settling down, as if a long-term career and family is somehow harmful to the human soul. All because a generation of people read this metaphor and thought, "Eew, moss."

To say nothing of the approx 25K not-so-odd ones, eh?
To say nothing of the approx 25K not-so-odd ones, eh?
Season 6 January February and March Update - 1. Deild Karla:
Results | Finances
This season was strange as we have the qualifying rounds of a cup in our off season, the friendlies we played were all good and we performed well. However we struggled to carry this into arguably one of the hardest groups. We soldiered on and ended up with a couple of good wins at the end which I was happy about. The meant that we qualified and are now through to the cup proper!
The finances are a mess as I couldn't play as many friendlies as I wanted to. I need to get some more investors or something. I also selected a high cup and league bonus to help us get into Europe quicker.
Transfers | Squad
The squad is now full. It's not as great as I would like it but it should do, I am thinking about moving to a 4-4-2 narrow diamond again to try and help me score more goals however my overall aim if to switch to a 4-1-2-2-1 with AMR/L's
I will still probably be busy in the transfer market for some while to come, on a side note we did snap up some young foreign talent that we had on loan when the clubs left it until 6 months left on there contracts. We will have them on loan until the contract end and then they will sign for us.

I thought you were playing in Europe, but there are no European matches in your "Results" screen :confused:
I'm not sure, I lost the final but the winner won the league. I have no idea how the system works... I was hoping I would
Euro Cup starts in about June
Lets hope so...
It should have told you on the league table last season. Did it have the EC next to your club?
Nope, it had a C :P
Flamers where are you
What deadfncat said, if anyone can help then please do: http://community.sigames.com/showthr...ch-quot-screen.
Also I might end this and start again with Russia as it's a much bigger country and I could get more attendance... I have a mod for down to tier 3 and I might extend that down to tier 5 (not the same as real life)...
10 letter rule is stupid
Yer it's not fun. Just hoping one of the SI guys has any light that can be shone on it...
That's rubbish! Fingers-crossed it can be fixed.
Hope you get it fixed, Flamers, be a shame for this career to end
Thank you guys. Feel free to bump that thread and make the SI guys look at it
If/when this gets fixed I will carry on with this, even if it is impossible to make a month on month profit!
Goodluck trying to get this save sorted, I've not been able to get into my games annoyingly, how did you get into it?
The first season was tough, it was a club with players who I couldn't say the name of, let alone type and spell! But the next season my influence started to show, I was seeing players who would play week in week out. There was also a tight battle for the one playoff spot (not even straight promotion!) I feel that when you go through a tough time with a team they become closer to you. The first season seemed like I was doing it to try and prove it was possible, the next I did because I wanted to see how good the players were, the third I was doing it to prove to the media that we were better, after that I was doing it for a love of the club.
It's hard to narrow down but people generally enjoy their saves more if they are the underdogs, a small club with not a great deal of history. The good thing about this is if I beat a Premiership side I feel elated! The team I just beat is only English League 1 standard but to my team they are giants! If your playing as Utd, Chelsea or Arsenal (as examples) beating another team is your weekly task, being in the lower tiers staying profitable and fighting for draws is your task.
Just a little update on what's happening, Neil is posting in my thread and we are trying to get it sorted.
good luck! I hope you do get it sorted. It was an entertaining read, all the weird rules and such.
I hope you get it sorted to, mainly signed up so I could encourage you to, as I've found this to be a really amazing read :-) The friendly point gave me a good idea of how to advance some idea's I've had in the past for epic development files, and I've found your writing style really engaging as well! Basically, hopefully they get it fixed, and you can get back to developing Iceland still further :-D
Thank you both so much, I'm going to have a play with cache settings etc as the SI guys will be having a life now :P
As the SI guys have decided that they won't reply for a little while I have started a database mod, if you want to be part of it read this: http://community.sigames.com/showthr...public-Sign-Up
Well I reinstalled Windows and it's working again. The save is resumed!
Been away from this thread for a bit and it seems I've missed a lot of excitement! Glad to see you've got the game fixed and can resume with the save. With DSYoungEsquire's, mine and yours, we could have a Welsh team, Irish team and Icelandic team winning the Champions Leagues. Who would've thunk it! I hope you hold up your side of the bargain :P. On a more serious note, congrats on the progress
Hooray that even windows cannot halt your progress to become the best in the world :-)
@prayer Thanks It helps me carry on knowing that people are enjoying my progress
@RavingLibDem I'm not sure about best in the world but I will try!
Can't wait for the next update! KUTGW!
I'm not sure when it will be, I have an essay to write this week which sucks
Wow, I didn't know something like this was possible. 8 first team players out injured... This is hard to even draw now...
That's a lot of injuries Flamers! How are you finding innjuries on this patch?
Awful, and I just got a red card for one of my defenders when the ref was about 40 yards away... I hate having a better team and the complete inability to score. Complete joke.
EDIT: The player who got red carded got MoM... humm yes... CLEVER GAME
Just got a 3-3 draw, the same amount of goals I have scored in the last 4 games... It's shocking how good having AMR/L and 1 striker is...
Season 6 July Half Season Update - 1. Deild Karla:
Results | League Table
I don't think the word "average" does justice to this season so far. I have honestly never seen that many draws. I have draw against the top teams and drawn against the lowest, we can't seem to buy a win. We are now out of both of the cups, mainly due to the fact we are drawing all of our games. We do currently have one of the longest unbeaten runs in the league but they are all draws!
The table doesn't look pretty, 6 points from 9 games. I think if we stay up it will be by doing it the hard way!
Finances | Transfers
Pretty normal season, the new cup screwed with me getting money but oh well I will try and cope.
As you can see we got rid of loads and got in loads more this season.

Why do you always sign off your name at the end of each post Flamers?
It's a habit
because he is a wierdo!
You love it :P
That's a lot of draws, hopefully when your injury problems start to ease you'll be able to get those wins and survive.
I think they will eventually lead to wins, rather than losses. Then he'll be moving up!
This message was approved by DSYoungEsq.
Lurked in this thread for a long long time. Good luck Flamers in staying afloat!
*this message is sponsored by the Canadian Mighty Squirrels: "RAWRRR"*
get to the top flight!
Thanks guys. I'm not going to say what has happened since in a hope that I don't curse myself...
Oh dear Flamers. Rooted to the foot of the table.
Lets hope the board stick with you after all your hard work. That is should the unspeakable happen.
I told the board I would "Battle Bravely Against Relegation", the fact that I got much further in the cups meant I was still very secure, even when 12th!
I will give you a teaser, I am now twice as good as I was
I'm not 4 times better
Spoiler Alert
What a difference a couple of months makes:
nice work. keep up the table rising and get into the top two and you will be looking at top flight football!!!
Good work Flamers getting out of relegation and into promotion contention
I won't be promoted I had to win my last two fixtures and one of the two teams had to lose both I drew with 1st place
Nice job turning things around
Season 6 Review - 1. Deild Karla:
Results | League Table
As you can see the season was one of two halves, quite literally. We sucked the first half, we couldn't get a win no matter what I tried. This forced me to move away from my beloved narrow formations and to a wide formation, 4-1-2-3 with AMR/L's, I did this at the half way point, as you can see it worked! We won games! If you look at the position graph you can see the massive change, the team that was stuck on the bottom of the table ended up rocketing up into 3rd by the end of the season. If we can carry on the form of the 2nd half of the season then we should easily get promoted, maybe as champions!
In terms of the cups we did ok. We reached the quarter finals of the League Cup and the 3rd round of the FA Cup, I am fairly happy with the results but I will be trying to improve next season.
Finances | Transfers
My first season that we have ended in debt, I have about a month that falls into this season to correct that which I hopefully will be able to do.
Diaz was probably one of the greatest signings of this season, the Paraguayan keeper has 4 clean sheets in 9 games which isn't bad and at 23 can only get better!
Key Players
1. Gustavo Pena. 7 Goals in 15 appearances and always a key part of my attack. At 19 he has a bright future ahead of him, he is currently on loan and I would love to make it permanent but I don't think that I can cope up with the £150k price tag, it will be a sad day when Pena leaves the club.
2. Eric Cousins . Jamaican international at the age of 18, do I really need to say much more than that? This kid has some serious talent, it was even better that I got him on a free when he old club forgot to renew he contract when it had 6 months left!
3. Gonzalo Olid Apaza. It was between Apaza and a left sided Icelandic winger I have on loan, Apaza got it by virtue of playing more games, they have both contributed 4 goals each so I'm very happy.
If you want any more screenshots then just ask me.

KFK is getting better and better!
you deserve an icy Icelandic cookie!
They are, I'm proud of how they performed at the end of last season
They are in the same league, a bigger budget but I could get the same next season so I rejected it
awesome names in Iceland. To the top next season!
Hope you can get promoted next season.
Season 7 Prevue - 1. Deild Karla:
Results | Expectations | Media Expectations
I am a bit disappointed with the last loss, it was a game we really should have won. Other than that we played well and have be creating a good amount of chances, Pena is becoming a big part of the team so I really want to keep him.
I choose the option that would give me the highest budget with the lowest expectations, the club is in debt so I can understand the smaller budgets. The media is still convinced of our imminent failure, what a surprise!
Finances | Transfers
They are looking a little better but not great, I need more fans!
This year I haven't made many transfers as my squad showed it was good enough last season.
I have a new assistant so there are slightly different ratings but as you can see the squad is quite good for the league.
Key Signings
1. Marcio. He is the only player I have signed so far, he is my replacement right back after I got rid of my 31 year old right back who was on £450 p/w and wanted £550 p/w so he got shown the door.
If you want any more screenshots then just ask me.
Last edited by Flamers; 09-03-2011 at 20:14.
Only just caught up with this, you've done really well so far, hopefully you can get promotion.
Good luck in your new season
Thanks I'm not looking forward to the cup though....
Excellent season last time out Flamers, shame you didn't bring out the 4-1-2-3 a little earlier or you'd have been popping the champagne once again! Good luck bagging the final promotion next season
Why thank you
I just had my Jamaican international get an 8.1 and MoM without scoring!
Glad your back up and running on this save. Great recovery in the league. KUTGW!
Cheers, I have an essay to do over the next couple of days but I should have an update ready for Friday. I got an insanely hard group in the cup again
Was wondering why you weren't online
Cheeky bloody aussie!
Got another £300 p/w wage budget by flattering my eyelashes at the board :P
Season 7 January February and March Update - 1. Deild Karla:
Results | Finances
Looking back on my results they are actually quite good, if you bear in mind that all but 2 of my group were Premiership teams we did well! We pulled out some good draws and sneaked a couple of wins.
The finances have done their annual up turn which is good. On another note the Chairman let me have a larger wage budget which means I can sign some more good players.
Transfers | Squad
Chavez was going cheap, £3k for a player who can play MC and MR, I am also training him to play AMR so he will be very helpful for all of my tactics.
The squad looks good, I'm happy with it and my assistant is as well. We could probably do with a couple of DR/L's who are better but I can't find any so those will do.

Season 7 July Half Season Update - 1. Deild Karla:
Results | League Table | Expectations
Now we have become a bit sporadic! We have the best home record, 5 wins, but our away record is dreadful, 1 draw and 3 defeats! We sucked in the cups, plain and simple we got through the groups and then crashed out in the League Cup and the FA Cup, well we went out to a team 2 tiers lower than us, the boys got a good old ear bashing after that!
Due to our insane home form we are sitting pretty in 4th place, tied with 2nd! So it is looking better this year. Due to that the board let me change my expectations but after the cup problem we had I don't want to chance my arm.
Finances | Transfers
Your eyes do not deceive you, we are making a profit! not huge but it's a profit! Time to save to get some facilities.
Not much happened in the transfer market.
Last edited by Flamers; 09-03-2011 at 20:14.
On track for promotion
A bit of that 2nd half of the season magic from last season wouldn't go amiss here either.
Also congratz on making a profit
It's getting tighter and tighter at the top, I don't like it :P
Season 7 Review - 1. Deild Karla:
Results | League Table
We sucked away from home, 3 wins, 1 draw 7 loses. At home we had the best record, 10 wins and 1 loss! The cup we sucked in as well. This year was a bad year for the club, we should have easily been promoted but we weren't. Honestly we were dreadful in some games, we really need to improve our defending of corners and free kicks as well.
Honestly we were lucky to have finished third, we should have really finished lower than that due to our poor form at the end of the season.
Finances | Transfers
Considering we haven't done out money making exercise this season we aren't doing too badly! I think that a decent profit will be doable.
Yalta was inspired if I do say so myself, 11 goals in 21 appearances, top of the league!
Key Players
1. Roberto Yalta. He is incredible, he played 21 of the 22 league games, 11 goals scored and 8 assists. He also got 4 MoM awards. What more do you want from a player who can play anywhere in right or central midfield!
2. Eric Cousins . I think he is the first player to have made the key players twice. He has only made 19 league games due to international call ups. He has 12 caps now and is about to get 3 more this November.
3. Juan Carlos Diaz. My keeper, only 9 clean sheets but he did a wonderful job all season when my defence decided to go sleepy.
If you want any more screenshots then just ask me.
Last edited by Flamers; 09-03-2011 at 20:14.
Unlucky on missing out on promotion.
Get a decent striker!!!!!!!
Unlucky Flamers. 3rd two seasons on the trot. 6 points more than the season before as well and still not going up.
Get the hair dryer out at half time a bit more and give the boys a kick up the backside away from home.
I do, we play much better after half time. I generally only concede one if I'm unlucky after half time.
ugh my team does the same. we always let goals in the first half and cant score then blitz the second or we set a good lead then get complacent. lazy bums
Season 8 Prevue - 1. Deild Karla:
Results | Expectations | Media Expectations
Last seasons bit of the preseason went well! 1 loss to a bigger side and a draw. We still need to improve our defence but oh well.
Expectations are the same as last year, hopefully I will make it this year. The media still thinks I suck but that's there problem not mine.
Finances | Transfers
Back in the black, with good attendances last season getting myself into the black was easier, I also spent £36k on transfers as well so we are doing really well!
I brought in a lot of good back up players and a couple of gems. Not really much to say other than I got rid of a lot of wage munching players. I am now £600 p/w under my budget as well.
The future looks good, I have the youngest squad with "highest" or "best" in 8 categories! I bet we still suck though... Also note the last Icelandic who will be part of my team...
Key Signings
1. Julio Fuentes. Contract expired and I got his agent to make him agree to £150 p/w, bargin. Not very fast but I can train that up, at 19 he has a long career at this club hopefully.
2. Franco Guerrero. I challenge you to say his surname! Another player who is not too quick but very versatile, he will be great when injuries hit part way through the season. With 18 tackling though he should stop some of those pesky strikers!
3. Nicolas Piovera. A blisteringly quick player, he is being trained to be a left back, a position that I think he might end up making his own for a few seasons. He might need a bit more stamina though.
If you want any more screenshots then just ask me.
Last edited by Flamers; 09-03-2011 at 20:14.
When you arrange your friendlies how do you know which foreign teams to go for to get the most money? Do you just use the "higher rep foreign clubs"
You know the list that you get normally? I just go through that and look They are generally the highest paying
I get £14k a game sometimes :P
so the name in brackets when you choose a team to play friendly with is how much you get from the game?! I always thought that it is amount of money you have to pay them for playing
^ This
It's a form of bug but it has been coded into the game.
Hey Flamers, after seeing what you've done, I think I might join you in Iceland, with the 4th division of course hopefully you'll get promoted this season
It's a challenge, just make sure you have patience!
Not to ruin the surprise but **** me this is a weird game....
Season 8 End Of Preseason Update - 1. Deild Karla:
Results | Finances
I think I'm finally starting to get a hang of this cup. We blitzed it, 5 wins, 1 draw and a loss. Top of the group, a group which had 5 Premiership sides in it! Our friendlies once again were just money grabbing exercises.
A lovely healthy bank balance, I have wanted one of these for a while and it seems to have arrived! I know they are not perfect but they are a lot better than they have been before which is what matters!
Transfers | Squad
The new transfers are a 2 season loan loan of an incredibly pacey striker who cuts through defences like a hot knife through butter and several rotation players as my midfield is a tiring place to be!
The squad looks good and I'm pleased with it.
Last edited by Flamers; 09-03-2011 at 20:15.
You only have 1 Icelandic player on the squad.
It's the joys of no foreign limits :P
I am the epitome of "lets kick racism out of football" :P
I think this is the year, Flamers! You can do it if you can just get the lads to avoid mental errors.

What equipment do I need to start making mead at home?
You need a fermenting chamber and a way to seal that chamber off from outside invaders and sanitizing liquid. That's it as a minimum.
A glass jug or carboy is probably the most common fermentation chamber, whether the 1 gallon variety or the bigger 5-6 gallon variety. Glass is used by lots of people because it scratches a little less than plastic and scratches hold bacteria (which is what you're fighting against). That said, I use plastic BetterBottles(TM) for most of my fermenters.
To seal it off, most people use an airlock, which lets CO2 out, but doesn't let air or bacteria in. However, a sanitized piece of aluminum foil, pressed over the opening of the carboy can do the job too.
Lots of people will also use a brew kettle and boil (or just pasteurize their ingredients). That's used to boil water, which means your liquid will go into the fermenter in a sterile state. That hot water is also easier to dissolve your honey into.
Otherwise, making mead is pretty easy on equipment.
Here are some good resources for making mead at home:
GotMead.com has an equipment section in the newbee guide to making mead. This guide is a fantastic crash course for beginners, and a good refresher for most.
A few items listed in their equipment section:
And a few other essentials...
Check the link for a full list & explanation of why each is important.
These instructions at Storm the Castle is what I used for my first batch of mead. If you have absolutely no brewing/winemaking experience (and thus none of the equipment so far... I would assume that is the case, since you are asking) you can follow it to make a batch with only equipment and ingredients found at your local grocery store.
That said, you will get much better results if you invest in proper equipment, and quality ingredients always produce a better product. That recipe is just a way to try to break into it, if you want to try your hand at meadmaking without a large upfront equipment purchase. If you are certain you want to take up meadmaking... just go ahead and get the equipment. I ended up getting proper equipment less than six months after trying it.
If you can find a brewing supply store locally, I would highly recommend going in and and checking if they have any starter kits. Usually there will be plenty of advice on hand as well. Or, if you prefer online, one place I've bought from before is Midwest Supplies.

Ned Breathitt never recovered after collapsing during a speech last Friday night in Lexington. The death of the Hopkinsville native is attributed to an irregular heart rhythm.
Breathitt was only 38 years old in 1963 when he barely defeated Louie Nunn to become Kentucky's 47th governor. The following year he helped secure unprecedented legislation on civil rights. During his term, Breathitt also took on big coal interests and secured environmental legislation.
He was defeated by Nunn in 1967 and passed on an open U.S. Senate seat. Breathitt went on to serve as the Southern Railway System's general counsel in Washington. He also served on the boards of three state universities...including his alma mater, U.K., where he was chairman for most of the 1990's. His body will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda in Frankfort Friday until four.
A service will be held at 11 a.m. eastern. Another service will be held Saturday at noon central time at First United Methodist Church in Hopkinsville, followed by burial at Riverside Cemetery. Ned Breathitt was born in Hopkinsville, he was 78 years old.

text: Okay, finally a tutorial that is going to be red hot and full of hot air. Here is my last lesson for today and it's on "how to draw a bull for kids", step by step. Bulls are very powerful animals that have a bad temper no matter how old they are. This is one of the reasons why they are often colored in red which, as you know represents anger. This bull has an expression on his face that can either mean, "hey stay away", or "let's rumble". Did you know that a bull is the male version of a cow? Yup, it's no surprise that these animals are just cattle. Well, that just about does it for now. I will return tomorrow with more drawing fun so come back around or better yet, stay a while longer and tackle stuff you haven't tackles before.

Is there a way to automatically send RSS feeds from Google Reader to Kindle every day at a scheduled time? Basically I would like to receive the title of the unread feeds, then when I click that feed item would be downloaded to Kindle.
KindleSend automatically downloads RSS feeds, creates an ebook, and sends it to your Kindle on a scheduled basis. They include scheduled syncing at 1am (GMT), but if you want to specify the exact time or send more than 12 different RSS feeds then you need to pay $20 per year.
Readability and Instapaper are free web services. At first you should make accounts in IFTTT, Readability and Instapaper (all free). So, you should make your recipe in IFTTT with reference recipe which you can find in 'browse' menu.
Use Instapaper to send a compilation of your unread articles to your kindle
Use Feedly to organize your feeds.
Then use IFTTT to send new posts in any given feedly category to Instapaper.
You can send up to ten articles at a time whenever you want nicely compiled in one document. Or you can set a time to send up to ten articles automatically each day. You could set up multiple IFTTT recipes for different categories.
I found this idea at http://ljcbluemuse.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-to-read-blogs-on-your-kindle-free.html
Sendtoreader Periodicals does just that. You'll need to make a bundle inside your google reader, containing the feeds you'd like to receive on your Kindle. Bundle gives you RSS link which you'll need setting up sendtoreader periodical. The service will deliver full-text articles, not just titles.
Newstoebook.com converts any RSS/Atom feed, or Google Reader subscription into EPUB or Kindle ebook.

If a poor person asks for charity and I give some money to that person, but he then returns it to me, (because he doesn't feel it is enough, or any other reason) have I accomplished the mitzvah of tzedakah or not? Meaning, does it technically count as tzedakah and then, by him returning it, is that second act a gift on his part, or has he annulled my mitzvah as if it didn't happen?

Area law enforcement and emergency services personnel, along with members of the public, paid tribute to Lincoln Police Officer John Clarke.
Officers and the public paid respects as Clarke's funeral procession traveled from Lincoln to a cemetery near Brock today.
Clarke, 43, of Auburn, was a dog handler with the Lincoln Police, said Otoe County Chief Deputy Mike Holland.
Although Holland said he did not know Clarke personally, they shared many mutual friends who spoke highly of him.
Clarke died suddenly after collapsing following an off duty work out.
He was a 21-year veteran police officer.

This is something that keeps bothering me about the Benchmark approach of Platen, which (very) shortly is as follows: Compare the development of an economic value with a growth optimal portfolio. Taking the expectation in the real world measure $\mathbb{P}$, conditioned on today's information, this should yield a fair and in some sense arbitrage free price, because you compare to the best possible (in expectation). Now, I want to know the price of a future on $X_T$ (hence $F(T,T)=X_T$). In discrete time, one just has to take the discounted future payments. For a time interval partition $\sigma$, this yields:
$$\Sigma_t^{(\sigma)} = \sum_{i=1}^N\frac{1}{S^{\pi^*}_{t_i}}( F(t_i,T) - F(t_{i-1},T) )\\ = {\sum_{i=1}^N\frac{1}{S^{\pi^*}_{t_{i-1}}}( F(t_i,T) - F(t_{i-1},T) )} +{\sum_{i=1}^N\left(\frac{1}{S^{\pi^*}_{t_i}}-\frac{1}{S^{\pi^*}_{t_{i-1}}}\right)( F(t_i,T) - F(t_{i-1},T) )}$$
Going to continuous time, this converges to $\int_t^{T} \left(\frac{1}{S^{\pi^*}_{s-}}\right) dF(s,T)+\int_t^{T}d\left[\left(\frac{1}{S^{\pi^*}}\right),F\right]_s$. Since the net position is zero and using the product rule for semimartingales, we get for the futures price at time t: $$ \mathbb{E}\left[ \frac{F(T,T)}{S^{\pi^*}_{T}}-\int_t^{T}F(s-,T)d\left( \frac{1}{S^{\pi^*}_s} \right) \big|\mathcal{F}_t\right] = \mathbb{E}\left[ \frac{F(t,T)}{S^{\pi^*}_{t}} \big|\mathcal{F}_t\right] = \frac{F(t,T)}{S^{\pi^*}_{t}} $$ To me it seems intractable. Is there any way to come the futures price process even close? I read some extensions to the usual equivalent martingale measure, cont., FV interest process one takes usually and which yields $F(t,T)=\mathbb{E}^{\mathbb{Q}}[F(T,T)|\mathcal{F}_t]$. But none of these can be applied here. Any ideas?

I had a problem I couldn't resolve so I appeal to SO and got several answers, none of which worked. After a few more hours of playing around, I managed to get the solution one person proposed to work with a bit of extra tinkering. I edited his answer and then accepted it. Is that ok to do? I didn't want to answer it myself since he led me to the solution, and I didn't want to bug him to add in the edit bit I needed since I could easily do it.
This may be considered a dupe of this, but my question really is asking if I can go ahead and add the extra component needed for the solution to work.

It has happened to me at least twice in Peru, that someone gave me a fake 5 soles coin. Most shop vendors were able to spot this instantly and refused to accept it.
How can I recognize a fake/false Peruvian coin?
I was initially sceptical that this was a common problem as I didn't encounter it the two times I went there. Then I did some research and you're definitely not alone.
There are a few blogs on this matter that have tried to give their thoughts on the subject.
For coins
For notes
According to this video (in Spanish, may be the automatic subtitles could help) distributed by the peruvian governtment, these are the main steps to detect fake coins:
You only speak about coins, but there is also a video available in order to help to detect fake notes:
