Toon- Thats enough bragging for today
Toon- Thats enough bragging for today
Have any of you posted in Ackter's thread in here? Reckon Toon would be close to beeating him tbh.
Guys, I am going to make a comback tonight!
Will let you know what team I pick later
Toon, simply superb mate. You are giving me the inspiration to start again
About to start season 6 and i am down to 3 players over the age of 20 in my entire squad! Those are the only 3 non youth products (From the original FC Utd squad) and are Spence, Wolfenden and Stott.
Weymouth FC Summary - Season 13 (2024-25)
First season in the Premier League and the only goal of the year was survival! The season started off as expected and points were very hard to come by and at the halfway point of the season I had played 19 games and gained 18 points. This was just about right on target as I wanted the magical 40 points.
As the new year kicked in and we began our reverse fixtures it became clear that the battling bunch of young men I began the year with had grown into a solid, tough unit and results greatly improved. 31 points came from the 2nd half fixtures which meant safety was achieved with 5 games to go and we could breath. Especially my new youth players who began to get appearances to help kick start their careers.
When all is said and done, a 10th place finish was above my wildest dreams and we essentially finished 2nd in the Premier League B. Even if I had gained 31 pts in both halves of the season, I would only have jumped 1 place!
The Premier League A is going to be a tough party to gatecrash.
Final League Table
Quarter Finals of both cups was pleasing and I believe helped in developing both the players and the squad morale. Both QF appearances are the furthest in each competition to date for us.
Key moments of the season;
Rob Neal offered back to me - sold him for 975k several years ago
Sam Bryant offered back to me - damn your rules ri916 for not letting me bring back the legend
John Bridge (YP 11a) gains a fantastic description!
New League Appearances Record
3 Called Up To England Squad
First Full England Cap for Weymouth Player
2nd Place In Premier League Manager of the Year Award
For a combined 9.5m the board agree to use the crazy Premier League TV revenue to expand both the training and youth facilities! They also agree to a rare youth recruitment upgrade (now listed as 'average').
I had 2 separate requests for a stadium expansion turned down, which made this news item at the end of the year even more surprising. This will put our capacity up to just short of 24k.
2025 Facilities - December 2025 is a huge month for us with completions due to training facility, youth facility and stadium expansion!
Youth Intake
Chris Hall (YP 13a) || Profile || Report || has bags of potential according to my coaching staff, but looks a little raw right now. I was able to give him some games at the end of the year and he played better than I thought he would. Will be giving him as much time as I can next season as long as it doesn't affect survival fight.
Targets for Season 14;
* Replicate season 13. Safety with an eye on mid table. Good cup runs to compliment the season.

And if I was under any illusions season 2 in the Premier League would be any easier, then the fixture list decided to make sure I start off near the bottom.
Tin foil hat time for my supporters, there is a conspiracy against Weymouth!!
First 5 league games are against decent teams..... All finished within the top 7 last year.
There will be a league cup game scheduled in there somewhere as well, presuming it will be a Prem team away.....
I'm really regretting right now choosing Hednesford :o
I've decided to take charge of St. Albans.
Current Squad (Decent size)
Backroom staff
Seems decent overall. I think I should be able to stay up but, I'll just wait and see.
(Not too late yet?)
Manager - Martyn James (Runner-up Manager of the Season)
Season objective - Avoid relegation (achieved)
BSB South - 14th
FA Cup -1st round
FA Trophy - 3rd qualifying round
I started the season with some money making friendlies in the hope of getting some season one upgrades but my board refused all requests throughout the season. I got a couple of decents results early on but my squad was tiny and very quickly I found myself going into matches with just one or two substitutes and those players available were often tired. Despite a few dodgy runs of form, morale remained high and that was key to survival. 14th in the league probably flattered us a bit with a late run of results boosting my position. Here are my end of season fixtures. This is a difficult challenge and with no transfers I think promotion will be a five year plan.
As you will see no TRANSFERS were made and the only staff I added was a scout for next opposition assignment.
Finally my youth intake arrived and I had enough players for a football club. The best of these is Kelvin Gough (YP1) who has already made an impact in the first team due to a lack of strikers. He looks promising and his first goal was a 25 yard beauty. He is currently being tutored by Traynor who was last seasons top scorer so fingers crossed. EDIT - Gough has increased determination from 8 to 13 whilst being tutored.
Season 2
My expectations - Better last seasons 14th place and get some sort of facility upgrade.
Media prediction - 17th
Board expectation - Consolidate
Here is my first team squad for the new season. I am going to try and better 14th but I think that may be tough.
EDIT - August 1st board increase junior coaching.

Coming up the biggest game of my Career
I have never had such a big increase in determination from one tutoring session before. Check this out. The two players are playing up front as a partnership, I wonder if that helps?

^well? Dont leave us in suspense....
Yes,come on!
Unless you are playing the Final on the slowest match speed
now that was just cruel toon . Or maybe he lost and hasnt finished crying yet
All done now. time to do the Season update
Season 2012-2013
Media Prediction 8th
Final Position 14th
League Table
We got off to a flier winning 7 out of the first 10 league games! But after a while the lack of depth started to catch up and a few injuries, and a few bad results and the team starts to meltdown without a win in the next 10 games.
March came and I was hoping the youth intake would be a shot in the arm and we could turn things around and get back on track for the final run in of the season, but I was unable to stop the rot and ended up finishing a rather disappointing 14th.
During the season i managed to funnel some more finances towards junior coaching, but was unable to convince the board to upgrade the facilities.
Youth Intake
Stelios Giannitopoulos YP1
Already one of the best players at the club, and in such a much needed area made this him a very welcome addition. He ended up playing 7 games scoring once, and i have very high hopes for him next season.
- Playoff Finish
- Develop new youth players into first team regulars
excellent work toon, hat well and truly off to you.
Anyone having the issue of players asking for new contracts, you say you will offer one but they wont enter into talks?
Congrats toon, fantastic job!
La Furia Roja, I did back in my earlier seasons. I believe some eventually signed, but I sold some off in the January window to cash in and fund facility upgrades. Hurts short term, but long term you have better facilities and more positions for the youth to play in and progress.
problem is that most are young kids that have come through, like 18yo, really want to try and keep them if I can. I don't like putting them on long term deals in case they don't develop well
Toon- Well done mate! You've completed the challenge! congratulations. What do you think you'll do now?
so far so good with St Albans. Just finished my second season so should get the update up soon.
St Albans- Season 2-2013-2014Targets for this season:
Improve on league position- YES
Improve finances- YES
Improve Facilities- YES- Improved junior coaching
Finances- Were in the black after some preseason friendlies but we really need to improve it further.
Facilities- We managed to improve junior coaching again and its now at adequate.
League Table- A much Improved season for us going up 4 places to 12th from last years 16th place finish.
Squad Paul Heaton gets top goal scorer due to playing less games, but my player of the season goes to Sean Shields for his 14 assists.
Luke Phillips YP02- Not the greatest prospect but I had to give it to someone
Transfers- Im clean!
YP Watch
Ollie Clunan YP01- He has played every game this season and improved well.
Targets for next season
-Push for the playoffs
- Upgrade junior coaching + something else

Managed to stay up with North Ferriby. Final game of the season was on same points as 20th, so needed to beat there score to stay up. They lost 3-0 and we drew 1-1 so managed to avoid relegation. My Youth Candidates look rubbish. I managed to improve my Junior Coaching.

I think that I shall start this soon, seeing how well others have done makes me want to do it.
Well done Toonbalmy87, that is impressive. When I frist found this thread I thought it would be impossible to complete and it is because of yourself and others doing so well that I was inspired to start. Will you carry on your save or start a new challenge?
I am halfway through season two with Kingstonian and it is not getting any easier.
Bravo well done toon!
Need a change from my Wales save so i'm gonna see if i can get into this. Holidaying now.
Ok so i've picked Wealdstone who look like a massive challenge. They have a tiny squad and are predicted to finish 21st. Lets see what happens!!
Edit: you know your bad when you only draw against your reserves who also had a bigger squad then you! Didn't even have any strikers as they were all on leave.

At the end of this season, do you want me to upload my save or do a quick update as I've gone nearly 4 seasons without an update and this could be a big season for the club!
Mighty Mariner has been announced as the new manager of Northwich Victoria. He is soon to meet his squad, and is hoped to keep a tight hold on the club's finances by buying no players at all. The club's facilities look fine at the moment.
First time in a while that I have checked in here and first things first:
ToonBalmy Congratulations! Didn't think it could be done, truly well done!
Braumiller - making some great progress with Weymouth there, won't be long before you'll be up with Toon.
Ri - what's happened to your game? Was it you who kept having crashes?
And on my side I haven't been playing for a while with exams and other things going on but I'm going to blow off the dust from my Carshalton save in a couple weeks when everything has died down and try and match Toon's achievement!
Till then kiu the good stuff everyone involved.
Had an unbeaten preseason whilst playing some pretty big teams so im happy with that. We were unlucky not to be Crystal Palace, conceding twice in the last 10 minutes.
Hey has anybody got any tips on how to break out of a slump? I am in december now and we have won 0 drawn 2 and lost 5 of our last 7. I have tried team meetings but they dont seem to work. Shall I just grit my teeth through to 13th March or do any of you have a better way? Cheers.
TWFL- God to see your still around mate! As for me I got sacked by FC United 5 seasons in before hopping around a few clubs. I took a break and am now back in my third season with St Albans.
MadDog- The only way I have ever broken out of one is to change tactic. Just make a back up and use it to get a result. Switch back once you've got a win under your belt
Second season and things are going from bad to worse! I never imaged it to be this difficult, cant seem to figure out whats going wrong
Ok I'll definitely try that now as we are officialy in the relegation battle after letting a 2-0 lead slip to lose 3-2 at home to 21st Droylsden!!!!
Mack- You've done brilliantly there and just given me deja vu! This is exactly what happened to me in my fourth season at FC. We got promoted through the playoffs after just scraping into them but then got relegated from the BSP and I was sacked . So dont panic to get promoted this season.
Manager - Martyn James
Season objective - Better 14th (equalled)
BSB South - 14th
FA Cup - 4th qualifying round
FA Trophy - 3rd qualifying round
We started season two fairly well and chalked up some early wins but the youngsters struggled to keep it up and we dropped back into mid-table. Despite only equalling last seasons 14th I am quite pleased and some youngsters will have benefited from the experience of first team football and will hopefully kick on. Bobby Traynor was again top scorer but young Kelvin Gough (YP1) was second and improving all the time.
The one disapointment was perhaps the decline of a few senior players and a couple are being released as they want contracts they are not worthy of. More youth players are going to have to be promoted to fill out the squad.
No transfers but two new coaches have arrived. Finances are slowly declining and because of that there has been no further facility upgrades.
This years youth intake wasn't spectacular but two prospects are rated higher than the rest. They are Adrian Plummer (YP2a) and Oumar Traore (YP2b). Both have been promoted straight into the first team, again because of numbers. The lack of tutors in the squad is holding some back a little but that can't be helped.
EDIT: Following being tutored by Traynor I am adding Martin Thompson (YP2c) to my list.
My expectations - Better 14th
Board expectations - Avoid relegation
Media prediction - 19th
I have set myself the target of beating my 14th place finishes in seasons one and two so will need a slight improvement on last year. It may be difficult due to the lack of experience but the quality is slowly improving. Hopefully some friendlies can pay for a youth network upgrade. Here is this seasons squad.

Yet again needed a win on the final game of the season to gurantee saftey
Not sure how much longer I can keep this up
This guy is my best Youth player from this years intake
Fingers crossed for an easier season
Went 15 games without a win between November and January! LOVELY!!

marty- Good season there mate with a decent youth intake as well
Padders- Keep going that youth looks brilliant. what is his potential and current ability?
will do end of season update as soon as it finishes but I could very well be down
Just had my youth intake, didnt even get one player with 5 star PA which is only leading BSN player,
Here is the supposed best of the bunch.
I personally rate this guy higher though.
Oh well, there is always next year as I look like I am staying up (touch wood) as we are 4 points above the zone with 9 to play but a relatively easy run in.
I wanted a top 6 finish this season, my second season, but id settle for just keeping my job right now!
Started one with FC United. No decent attackers in the team, very tough challenge.
Finished 14th in first season
Useless squad
Promising young players but hottest prospect injured for 6 months just after he signed his contract.
No transfers
Second season even worse (7 goals scored in 9 games, just above relegation zone), however board agreed to improve training and youth facilities
Nice challenge even to reach Football League without any transfer.
3rd season and I'm struggling. The performances of my remaining senior players is very disappointing and they may cost me my job. I was hoping my youth players would imrove quicker than the seniors decline but it is not quite happening yet. Could be restarting soon at this rate.
Edit - Results have improved and will not be going down.
Last edited by marty78; 13-05-2012 at 15:21.
League - 18th - 47 points
Cups- Eliminated at the first hurdle of the FA cup and trophy.
Key players - Jay Denny
Marvin Robinson
Lee Tunney
YP01a - Andy Thompson
Yp01b - Keith Husbands
YP01c - Leigh Bates
Hmmm not a bad season but I would like to push onto the top 15 next season and hopefully imrpove youth recruitment or other facilities. I would also like to go on a bit of a cup run but most importantly continue to develop the youth. We were definitely saved by our ability to perform in big matches and attack the superb set piece deliveries of Jay Denny.
Last edited by MadDog; 13-05-2012 at 15:08.
Predicted 21st Finished 18th
We had a decent start that fell apart after about 10 games. We failed to score for 9 matches in a row which was pretty worrying. Throughout the season our league position got lower and lower until out final position of 18th. We were able to win when it mattered and in the end we were safe with a few games to go, giving me the opportunity to try out some youngsters without risk.
Club Player of the season: Richard Jolly, 6 goals in 35 games.
Fa Cup 2nd Q round: 0-2 AFC Hayes
Fa Trophy 3rd Q round: Tooting and Mitcham: 1-2
Managed to improve junior coaching once but we were losing money heavily on a month to month basis so i doubt ill be able to change much unless i get a decent cup run.
Youth (forgot to take an intake screenshot)
All players that came through had a least 3 star potential, so have all been kept on, for squad depth if nothing else.
Here's the best two players who have the potential to be good BSS players (they were not the only ones):
At the end of the season board announced a new 2821 capacity stadium. Not really what i want, it puts me further into debt and it means that if i do get up the leagues, i wont be able to get a bigger stadium for 20 years.
Nice not needing a result on the final game of the season. Safe with quite a few games to go this time
Our highest ever finish
Hope I can push on next season

This challenge is superb, well done the guy whose completed it, superb effort. I don't think I could do what you did even with signings!
Manager - Martyn James
Season objective - better 14th (failed)
BSB South - 16th
FA Cup - 3rd qualifying round
FA Trophy - 2nd round proper
The season started badly and poor form quickly had me worried about relegation. Eventually results picked up and we steered clear and were quite comfortable to be fair but still failed to meet my expectations. The one positive was probably an increase in junior coaching which now stands at average. Kelvin Gough (YP1) was top scorer mainly due to Traynor being injured for about four months and declining.
No transfers but a new assman arrived. Having to let more seniors leave because their contracts demands are laughable. On July 1st I will have just 5 of my starting squad left and two of them are steadily declining.
This years youth intake has two players of note. They are Leon Lewis (YP3a) and Antonio Bengo (YP3b).
My expectations - mid-table
Board expectation - mid-table
Media prediction - 17th
I'm just looking for mid table consolidation this year. I was hoping the board would ask me to avoid relegation again to keep the pressure off but I'll do my best. The squad.
2015-2016 – Lewes FC
Season Aim: Not to be going into the last day of the season in the relegation zone again – failed.
This is not getting any easier. Once again I started strong, but it fell away really quickly as usual. We got some good results against some of the bigger teams, but with 5 to go, we were 6 points from safety. It was pretty much hopeless as I had a tough run in, but my word the boys did me proud
I still do not know where it came from but the first result raised the morale quite a bit and after the 2nd they were all pretty much on superb, We went into the final day 2 behind Farnborough and 3 behind Basingstoke, our opponent on the final day, we needed a 2-0 to overtake Basingstoke on the final day or for us to win and Farnborough to lose. We got a 4-0 and Farnborough won so Basingstoke went down.
Decent intake this year as well with Chris Glynn coming through as the pick of the bunch.
Developing youngsters
Final table
Proof I am clean
Aim for Next Season – Same again, try and improve. Going to move some older players on that are just not up to scratch anymore.

Padders- Keep going with Ferriby, it's starting to get easier now and you can push for midtable.
Marty- That was an unlucky season their mate. Hopefully your squad will perform for you and get you into the top half.
La Furia Roja- What a thrilling last few games! That winner takes all match against Basingstoke must have been scary!
its funny cause I was more thinking about the Farnborough result. It didn't really click that it was between me and Basingstoke until mid way through the 2nd half.
Felt very sorry for poor Margate as well
I've just had to sell my training facilites because I was in so much debt (500k)
Always under my wage budget
Apparently very close to administration, just agreed a £500k bank loan to clear the debt and paying £3k a month back
Never had this problem before as I have always had a board pump into money over few months to help cover costs
All part of the challenge I suppose
I have had two increases, I'm pretty sure its basic. Will check when I go on my lunch
Yes I should look closer at my finances to be honset. Average attendance is only a couple of hundred fans
Wage budget is £1.6k and actual is £1.4k
Yes will do, thanks mate, as i said it has never been a problem before as always had a board who pumped money in every so often
Lowestoft - 2012/13
I'm back and this time I'm doing it properly. Went for the BSN this time around and took over newly promoted Lowestoft who were predicted to finish 20th. The squad was actually fairly strong for this level so I hoped to make it into the play-offs, although mid table was a more likely goal. Turns out the squad were very consistent, spending most of the season in the play-offs, but too many draws meant we were never really able to get away from the pack. Thanks to early knock outs in all the cup competitions we were fresh for the league and went top with three games to go and 7 points from 9 meant we went up as Champions!
There wasn't much to right home about with the youth intake this season, a couple of players who might make decent BSN players in a few seasons but compared to the intake I got at Carshalton this was a bit of a disappointment. The squad will be kept together for next season where survival will be the only aim.
League Table
No transfers
4-1 down at half time. Drew 5-5
Wealdstone 2013/2014
We had a good start to the season once again but after about 10 games we fell into another collapse which took us down to just above the relegation zone. We managed to get a lot of draws which kept us out of the relegation zone and in the end we were 10 points clear. We had the same points tally as last year too.Code:Code: Wealdstone Youth ----------------------------------------------------------- Season League POS PTS FA Cup League Cup Fa Trophy ----------------------------------------------------------- 2012-13 BSS 18th 45 2ndQ 2ndQ 2013-14 BSS 17th 45 3rdQ 1st

Jack- Another solid season there and that youngster looks decent!
mack- Fantastic mate. Getting in the playoffs in the second season with FC United is no mean feat! Be thankful you didnt go up as I doubt your squad was ready for BSP football

I am really going to try and reduce my outgoings tonight. I did something I said I wouldn't do, signed a few key players on good money on long term contracts. One is on over 300 quid a week and in the reserves now, but noone will come in for him cause of his wage demands. Got a few high earners that, while they are performing, they are not performing enough. Kamara for example, misses a shed load of goals but does get a few assists, but is on 400 quid a week! MY next best AMR who has the potential to exeed his ability according to the backrrom, is on 7 quid a week. Might need to make some hard calls tonight.
Welcome on board to all the new comers, best of luck, you will all need it :P

I will post season 4 updates in a bit.
TOON - Are you a club legend yet? I hope so
Last edited by marty78; 15-05-2012 at 08:20.
Yeah have been for a while
Lowestoft 2013/14 - BSP - Survival achieved
We did it! Scraping survival in our first season in the Conference felt sweeter than the promotion from the BSN. The entire season was spent in and around the drop zone with consistently long periods of winless results, but we kept plugging away and a 2-1 win away at Darlington on the penultimate day of the season was enough to keep us in the BSN for another year. No idea how we'll survive it mind, given some of the backup players refused to sign new contracts and aside from one or two, none of the youths are ready to be thrust into the first XI. Never mind, we're in this league for another season, survival next year will be harder than this one though.
League TableCode:Lowestoft progress 2012/13 - BSN - 1st 2013/14 - BSP - 20th
YP02 - He could make the step up to the first XI if we remain in the BSP for the foreseeable future.
No transfers
Second season with FC United
League table - Managed to escape relegation by a single point, struggling all season but won our most important fixture, a six-pointer against relegation rivals Guiseley.
Very promising youth intake, three new guys in first team squad already. Brightest talent is Shane Taylor, welsh U19 international immedietaly, coach says he could become a good Championship defender.
No transfers
I hope for a mid-table finish next season, got 1,5 million in bank (pre-season friendly tournaments) but the board says we cannot afford to turn FC United to professional.
Season objectives - mid-table (achieved)
BSB South - 12th
FA Cup - 4th qualifying round
FA Trophy - 2nd round
Please with this season overall and the team is beginning to take shape. Could do with a few more goals in the team but improving the midfield and the chances they create rather than the strikers is the aim. I started really well and was top 8 most of the season but without really troubling the play-off spots. A poor run at the end saw us drop to 12th but as a whole a good season. Here is my overall best eleven over the four years so far.
No transfers of course.
This years youth intake didn't really bring the cb/rb's I was hoping for but Derek Ludlam (YP4) stands out this time.
__________________________________________________ _________
Season 5 objectives:
My expectation - top 10
Board expectation - mid-table
Media prdiction - 15th
This seasons squad has a bit more depth but not yet enough for promotion so I would be happy with top 10.
Set friendly type to Cup. Select a date and check Very Large Reputation teams. Decent Championship sides, top Scottish clubs or popular League 1 teams are all OK for a lucrative tournament. At least 3 of them needed to host a successful competition. For example, a Portsmouth-Sheffield United final is a sellout, gives you an attendance of 10k+ (depends on ground capacity), and a cup like this makes 300k income. If less than 3 good teams appearing, check next date, etc. Newcastle and Celtic were the biggest names to participate so far in my tournaments. Arrange these friendlies in early June when big teams have no scheduled fixtures yet, and try to find a parent club with big reputation, because they can't reject your friendly proposal (well, the first one per season). 5-6 friendly tournaments in July gives you about 1 million pounds what is just enough to improve basic facilities to fairly basic.
Thanks mate thats awesome. Just wish I knew that four seasons ago. I normally play higher where pre-season is more about fitness. Can't wait for pre-season now.

The slow time between hunting season and ice fishing season typically leaves me with nothing much to do. I glance at my assortment of outdoor magazines and relive the season's catches in my mind's eye; however, that will rarely substitute for a trip to the woods or water. Once I have cleaned and stored my equipment for the off-season, there is really only one thing that I can do to ease my boredom – I tie knots.
Regardless of what you might think or what you may have been told, the most critical component of any fishing rig is usually the knot. A poorly tied knot can weaken your line by more than half of its rated pound test. This equates to a lost fish or lost tackle when hooked in a snag. With the opportunity to catch a trophy fish a very rare commodity and the price of tackle going ever higher, the poorly tied knot can be a very costly mishap to an otherwise great day on the water.
Now I never was a Boy Scout, and I joined the Army and not the Navy, but I do know how to tie knots. Many different types of knots. I have bought laminated instructional guides to tying different knots and still carry them in my tackle box every time I go to the water. I rarely refer to them anymore as I, like many fishermen, use only a select few specialty knots for any given occasion. I suppose I carry them for that "just in case" moment we fishermen attempt to be prepared for at all times.
What some fishermen are unaware of is that every knot is designed for a specific purpose, whether it be to increase the strength of the line or to improve the action of a specific lure. There are knots that are specific to joining two similar diameter lines together as well as knots whose sole purpose is to successfully join two lines together that are of an unequal diameter.
Some knots are used for monofilament while others are used for braided-nylon type lines. The key to successful knot strength is to become expert at tying your favorite knot. I often sit for hours simply tying knots over and over both in the light and in the dark.
My favorite two knots are the uni-knot and the surgeon's loop. These are very strong knots when tied properly and will work for most any situation – from a simple hook and sinker to spinner bait. I have included an example of how to tie each knot. The Internet provides the fisherman with several examples of knots that can be practiced and used with great success and confidence provided the sportsman takes the time to perfect the knot tying.
Perhaps the most integral part of tying any knot is found in the lubrication of the knot as it is pulled tight. Failing to wet the line with water or saliva prior to pulling it taught will commonly result in heating of the line and a weakening of the knot's strength. This is especially important when using monofilament lines.
Page 2 of 2 - While waiting for the ice to form on your favorite fishing hole or simply waiting for warm spring fishing conditions to arrive, remember to practice tying your favorite knot until you can master tying it with your eyes closed or in a dark room. Remember to lubricate the knot properly prior to pulling it tight and remember, it is a great outdoors.
Jim Kilchermann Jr. is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the benefits that a properly tied knot can provide to any fishing excursion. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com to share a tale or two. Until next time, stay out of the snags and keep all of your shots in the 10 ring.

Suppose we send $n$ packets over the Internet and assume that all $n$ packets are routed along the same path, and with probability $p$, one of the links along the path fails and all $n$ packets are lost. Otherwise all packets are received..
What kind of distributions is this and how to compute the distribution and expectation of this model.
I have something like:
Let $X$ be the random variable of the number of packets loss. And $X$ can only be 0 or $n$. So $P(X=0) = (1-p)^n$ and $P(X=n) = p$. But I don't recognize this distribution and don't really know how to compute the expectation of this if this is correct distribution.
Any help? Please

One thing I love about riding around my local English countryside is stumbling across stuff I didn't know existed. Like this evening, riding a couple of miles south of Withington, I found myself stopped on top of what I now realise was RAF Chedworth – an airfield built in 1942. From the ground there wasn't much to see, the airfield is now a farm but from where I stopped I could see concrete strips still visible on the ground:
And from the air, you can see the road I was on cuts straight across one of the runways:
I don't know why I get so excited about old airfields, but this just about made my day. Some dude has even explored the nearby woods and found tons of broken down airfield buildings next to this site. Awesome.

7 Simple Questions You Won't Believe Science Just Answered
One advantage of living in the information age is learning new things every day. Even more interesting is when we learn stuff that we thought we already knew but apparently didn't, like the fact that the sun is a sphere. Yep, science just found that out in February 2011. Next they're going to tell us that they just figured out whether the chicken or egg came first. Actually ....
#7. Which Came First: The Chicken or the Egg?
If you're anything like us, you probably spent a good part of your college years in a Denny's booth debating the universe's biggest mysteries, like how rad exactly is Dave Matthews Band live? And will baby tees and chunky Rachel layers ever go out of style? Eventually, we all arrived at the age-old dilemma that asks which came first: the chicken or the egg? And more importantly, who gives a crap? Well, Stephen Hawking, for starters, weighed in on the debate. He said it had to be the egg, and since Stephen Hawking majored in Super Genius at Mega Whiz University, we could probably just take his word for it.
What We Just Found Out
It was the chicken. SUCK IT, HAWKING! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A FRIGGIN IDIOT???
Via Wikimedia Commons
Not such a big man now, are you, Hawking?
In the summer of 2010, British researchers cracked the eneggma when they discovered that the protein necessary to create the eggshell was fowlnd exclusively in the ovaries of the chicken. So the chicken had to come first, because the eggshell can't be made without that protein. Where did the chicken come from? Maybe a hybrid dinosaur called a chickosaurus. We don't know. We weren't there.
Via James Gurney
Bwok bwok ROAR!
The protein ovocledidin-17 controls the eggshell crystallization process, and without it, the shell couldn't form at all. Scientists weren't just trying to settle a bet between Hawking and some other scientist, either. Understanding what eggshells are made of has some pretty incredible real-world applications, such as strengthening synthetic bones or stopping freaking global warming.
One of the newest ways scientists are trying to tackle global warming is by capturing all that excess CO2 that cars and hairspray canisters have been farting into the air, then storing it until we figure out how to make flat-screen TVs out of it. Understanding the protein that makes eggs form can help us crystallize carbon dioxide into limestone, presumably so we can then dump it into the ocean. Because what harm could possibly come from putting genetically modified rocks into the ocean?
#6. Why Hair Turns Gray
The only people who are 100 percent cool with being grey/gray are Jennifer and Macy. The rest of us are willing to spend $42.5 billion a year covering it up. That's more than Americans spend every year on diet products, and look at how fat we are. Even women so decrepit that they're one wrinkly foot in the already-dug grave feel compelled to cover their gray hair, as if a little bleach is all it takes to make you forget they're a million years old.
Via tn.nova.cz
Gentlemen prefer blondes! Like me!
Gray hair is one of those things that just sort of makes sense. The ink cartridges in our printers run out when they get old. Why wouldn't the ones in our heads run out of color, too? They're pretty much asking for it, since they keep printing everything in the same color.
What We Just Found Out
Actually, it's just the opposite. When we go gray, our bodies are bleaching our hair from the inside out.
Everyone's body makes hydrogen peroxide naturally. The buildup eventually gets so colossal that it blocks the melanin -- your body's natural hair dye. Without that melanin, the hairs turn gray, then eventually white. And just like that, we're old.
It apparently happened to Steve Martin at the ripe old age of 4.
So how did we just figure this out? After examining cell cultures of hair follicles, researchers found that aging adults have lower levels of an enzyme that breaks up hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Basically, your scalp is the site of a battle between good and evil every day of your life. Right now, bleached barbarians are invading your hair from the inside of your scalp. Those of you whose bodies still produce colored hair have soldiers guarding each hair follicle and repelling the barbarians successfully. However, one day, your guards will decide they're too old for this shit and up and retire. Now the Ostrogoths reign over your follicular empire, and your glorious colored-hair civilization is over.
And they never, ever give up.
The good news is that knowing how the process works goes a long way toward knowing how to stop it from happening altogether. Imagine a world where you don't have to go gray if you don't want to, where your grandparents and great-grandparents keep the hair of their youth, where you have to get up close to tell whether someone is bangable.
#5. The Moon: What's Up With That?
Unless you're a Druid, a poet, a werewolf or some heinous combination of all three, you probably don't spend much time thinking about the moon. We notice when it's there, forget about it when it's hidden and occasionally laugh at the suckers who used to think it was made out of cheese.
Oh, and goths. Goths love them some moon.
Here's the thing, though. Despite the fact that the moon is obviously the closest thing to the Earth in the universe, or that we've been on it, up until fairly recently, we knew surprisingly little about it. Why is one side of the moon pockmarked while the other is smooth? How'd it get there? What's it made of? An annoying-enough person could have argued that the whole cheese theory technically could have been right, and up until recently, scientists would have had to back down. Sure, they had some good guesses, just like we've got guesses as to why starving people have big fat bellies (they're tricking us for sympathy). That doesn't mean they're right.
You dirty, manipulative bastards.
What We Just Found Out
No one has been on the moon for almost 40 years, so it's not like we could just pop up there and start digging and sticking thermometers into its craters. Fortunately, astronauts left seismometers on the moon during the Apollo missions that transmitted moonquake data back to Earth until 1977. Recently, a professor and a graduate student at Arizona State University took those numbers and applied a new method of analysis to them called array processing. By layering seismic recordings together and studying them at the same time, they were able to detect very faint signals they couldn't hear before. Then they used those signals, or "echoes," to map out what was going on beneath the moon's surface using the same techniques geoscientists use to figure out what's going on beneath the Earth's surface. Next, they high-fived each other and screamed, "Bla-DOW! Science!"
Yay! Time to break out the orange juice and people clothes!
The data told Professor Clever and his student minion that the moon has a solid, iron-rich core, just like the Earth's, and that the core is surrounded by a liquid iron outer core, also just like the Earth's. Both the Earth's core and the moon's core are made of iron, nickel and light elements like sulfur.
This is important, because it supports the prevalent theory of how the moon got there, which is that a Mars-size body hit Mother Earth, which chunked Baby Earth fetuses out into space, which eventually accelerated and melded together to make the moon. Sure, it doesn't explain where cheese comes from, but it's a start.
#4. Pruney Fingers
Remember the first time you noticed how your hands got wrinkly when you stayed in the bathtub too long? And how you assumed the wrinkling was caused by an aging curse cast by your neighbor, who was clearly a voodoo queen because she was the only woman in town who wore a turban? And remember how your mom explained that it was sitting in a bathtub for an hour and a half, not black magic, that gave you Shar-Pei hands? Turns out your mom was talking out of her ass.
She was trying to cover a terrible, terrible secret.
Not only did science not completely understand why you got pruney fingers in the bathtub, it didn't know why your skin didn't disintegrate after taking on so much water. This, apparently, was a real conundrum to scientists. They looked at your skin under a microscope, worked up some advanced mathematical models and decided that your skin should just fall apart like crepe paper in the rain every time you take a bath.
What We Just Found Out
Math. Math is under our skin, doing its mathy work, keeping our skin intact and unmelted.
Take a look:
Via wired.com
That's a model of a gyroid, which is a geometrical shape found all over the natural world. Mathematicians think that fibers of keratin in our skin are actually woven into this shape as well, which is important, because it means the skin can expand but keep its structure because the fibers have so many connections to one another. With this pattern, the fibers can "swell to fill a volume seven times greater than its original shape."
That's what's happening when your skin wrinkles. It's absorbing water, which makes it grow in volume. Since the rest of your hand is still the same size, your skin begins to wrinkle the same way a glove would if it was too big for your hand. As unnerving as it might be to think that your skin is getting too baggy for the rest of your body, it's better than the alternative.
Most geometric models, when asked to grow in volume, just break up. To illustrate this, try taking a bath in a tub made of corrugated cardboard. Not so easy, is it? That's because unlike your skin, that cardboard is woven together in a gyroidless pattern, which falls apart.
As scientists learn more about gyroids, they might be able to use the pattern for synthetic skin, bandages, bulletproof vests and more weather-resistant housing for the homeless population.

For All Spinning® Enthusiasts
Gatorade, Gu and Blox - Do We Need Them?
05/07/2011 7:29 pm
On April 29th I attended the annual meeting of the Vermont Dietetics Association. Nancy Clark, well-respected Registered Dietician, drove up from Boston to join the presenters. Her topic was of particular interest to competitive endurance athletes and especially to the growing number of recreational athletes who are training for and enjoying marathons, half-marathons, sprint triathlons and metric or full century rides: Engineered Sports Foods: Needless or Necessity? If you have ever heard Nancy Clark speak, or if you have read her Sports Nutrition Guidebook, 4th Edition, or any of her articles or blog posts, you know that Clark?s approach to nutrition is no-frills based on moderation and an uncomplicated, balanced diet of lean protein, wholesome carbs and healthy fats with an emphasis on the enjoyment of a wide variety of real foods. Her approach to the use of engineered sports foods is consistent with her nutritional training and philosophy. There is no doubt that engineered sports foods are big business. Since the advent of Gatorade, the market has proliferated with bars, gus, blox, powders, and beans made of high quality nutritional elements sold in pricey and convenient packages. Over the years, many of us have found our favorites and are sure to have a few handy in the glove compartment of our car or stuffed in the pockets of our cycling jerseys. Others take care to fill one bottle with water and alternatively nurse another filled with our protein, carbohydrate or electrolyte mixture of choice. But are they necessary? Clark addressed the popular question: ?How can we ?ordinary mortals? have more energy and the best that we can be? Are engineered sports foods magic, better digested, performance enhancements ? or simply convenient?? Clark pointed out that ?pre-Gatorade? ? people ran marathons just fine but went on to say that there is no question that carefully planned consumption of appropriate nutrition before, during and after exhaustive exercise is mandatory for both performance and health. The bottom line seems to be that we must fuel our efforts but that real food provides a perfectly acceptable alternative to all the costly sports foods and drinks on the market. Clark advocates raisins, bananas, fig newtons, pretzels, peanut butter sandwiches and granola bars as useful on-the-go nutrition during long training or competitive hours. As we have often been told, never try a new food or drink for the first time during an event. Always practice on long training runs or rides in advance. You don?t know until you try just what effect a gu or electrolyte drink or piece of fruit might have on your intestinal tract. When you find something that works, stick with it. Something that is easily digested, releases energy consistently and packs 200-300 calories an hour, might be a good place to start if you are going to be on the road for, say, the length of a century ride. What do you do? I have my favorites: unsweetened applesauce, a banana, a bar and some coffee before I start; raisins, another bar, water, protein drink, or miscellaneous bites of foods every hour or so that will keep me going throughout, and a pleasant meal of lean protein, and lots of fresh vegetables at the conclusion. It is important to eat and drink i.e. refuel regularly and not wait until it is too late. I once heard an Ironman triathlete state in his lecture how sad it was to observe an athlete collapse near the finish of the final event, the marathon, when ?he was just 4 ounces of Gatorade away.? In other words, he was about 50 calories shy of what it would have taken to get him to the finish. Speaking of Gatorade, Clark left us with the following recipe for those who like to make their own: begin with a quart bottle. DissolveShare

Preservation of the art

Oh, yes...and yes. I have been pretty amazed at how unfamiliar with ballet history many young dancers seem to be when engaged in a conversation on the subject.
There has been some discussion on this board with regards to how the loss of experienced dancers in companies is affecting the development of the up and coming stars. Additionally companies are choosing to perform new repetiore rather than the older classics in an attempt to appeal to a larger audience base. It also seems to me that many schools are not including the history of dance, the music, and the history of choreography as part of the corriculum. Have others observed the same thing or is it even necessary?

"In the second and third years, students begin developing musical sensitivity by listening, learning musical terminology and history; and they become familiar with composers, especially those associated with dance".

Is that the Jofffrey Ballet School, Hans? I know that Robert Joffrey wanted his dancers to know the history of the art.
I have heard of only one ballet school in the US that explicitly teaches ballet history. It's quite unfortunate.

SAB does indeed offer music classes, but my experience was that many students did not pay much attention to them, viewing them as an inconvenience and a chore, and consequently not learning much, if anything. Music was not offered at the advanced levels when I was there.

She had clever ways of integrating it too--for example, when we would do particular combinations, that would start a story about "Pavlova who danced in Petipa's XXXXXXX did such and such a pose. This combination is very famous in Giselle......" and so on. A few weeks later, she would then poll us and see how much we remembered. Very refreshing
Do any of the teachers on this forum do something like that? How do you make sure that your students are dancing while knowing a bit of what they're doing?

My own teachers in Berkeley include quite a lot of history -- some more overtly than others. Michael Lowe in his classes often credits the choreographer/teacher that he learned a combination from -- he'll say this was Mr massine's or mr Loring's, I particularly remember "Mr Beriosoff's petite allegro for developing a quick jump from an invisible preparation." Similarly, Marina Eglevsky will give us Mr Fokine's rond de jambes a terre; kirsten Schwartz will give Ms. Schollar's releves at the barre, with fouettes; Susan Weber always credits the author of combinations she uses, and her repertoire is extensive from Slavenska to mark Morris. Sally Streets takes from all her teachers, and makes up fabulous things of her own, but she rarely bothers us with saying where she got them, she's too busy....

I really really really wish some of our wonderful dance photographers would get together (or even individually) and make available decks of collector cards (perhaps like the old cartes de visite) mentioning dancers names, company, choreography... that we teachers could hand out as rewards for steps well done... the students would begin to connect with ballet outside their own studio (and also see what an arabesque, etc. really look like). Honestly, I think most of their ideas about dance stem from Barbie.

Your students are very lucky to have you as an example
I spent a lot of time as a child looking at the photos and reading about the dancers who went before me.

I'm not sure I understand what OpenID is ... but I see plenty of sites that ask you for it. What is it? and how do I create one?
OpenID is a Single Sign On service for the web
You have one login/password which can be used across all sites which support it.
This includes all StackExchange sites.
From OpenID Explained:
With the OpenID you don't need to create new username and password.
You just simply login to sites using your Google or twitter or facebook (or other OpenID provider) account. You can get an OpenID here
The idea behind OpenID, is that you only have one place where you need to login. Other sites can redirect you, to your OpenID site and let you login there, the OpenID site will then create a unique token, that lets the site know that you passed validation and optionally you can send some info along, like username, email etc.
There are several services where you can create an OpenID, when you login to this site the most popular is listed.
You could even create your own OpenID server if you wanted to. It's based on open standards and available for all to use.
Here's the Wikipedia definition. There are a number of OpenID providers listed there as well. If you have any of the most popular webmail accounts available (Google, Yahoo, Hotmail), you've already got an OpenID.

Did you hear Best Buy is changing to a 15 day return policy?
(bottom of article)
Yep. Word is they're doing it to "stay inline with their competitors", but last I checked nobody has a 15 day return policy. True, the online price matching is nice. But I think most people expect that. I bet the change in return policy is going to create some big waves for them. We'll see. Your thoughts?
10 Answers answer
Bad link.
What was were policy before?
What competitors have a 15 day return policy?
Walmart -- wait, it's 90 days.
Target -- nope, it's 90 days. 120 days if you have a Red card.
Kmart/Sears -- I do believe they have a 90 day policy with exception of air conditioners, gas powered equipment, and jewelry and watches (those are 30 days)
Amazon has a 30 day policy (hassle free mind-you).
Sam's Club - 90 day. From what I gather, they will let you return just about anything for ANY reason. I've seen people return patio furniture after using it all season.
Costco - 90 days as well.
Gamestop allows 30 days.
I suppose that Best Buy is aligning themselves with competitors if (and only if) you consider that none of the above retailers are competing for their business.
Honestly, this is just one more piece of wood on the Best Buy fire that will do them in.
Link has nothing to do with BBs return policy.......
I agree, if true just one more thing to contribute to BBs downward spiral :(
returns are killing them, literally. You oughta read some of the threads on slickdeals.net about people buying expensive cameras or tv's and returning them for some really lame reasons. Even people buying/returning so they can rebuy at the open-box discount.
I totally understand why they're doing it, but it's just one more reason I avoid best buy. For the last 5-6 years, I only go there for the occasional great deal on a video game.
I found this I'm not saying its a credible news source, but apparently on March 3d they will slash their return policy from 30 days to 15 days. I honestly don't see it as that big of a deal, I've never waited more than a few days to return something that I wasn't happy with. If it takes you over a month to figure out that something isn't right, then that's on you. I figure anything else I buy will come with some sort of manufacturer warranty; so if it breaks after that two weeks it's on the manufacturer anyhow.
Best Buy just announced they will price match anything someone finds on a website to avoid people checking out a product then buying it cheaper online.
Best Buy keeps giving me reasons not to go there :/
@minkeygirl7: that still won't work well for them since most people don't get charged tax online.
I have a best buy account, I've shopped online and in-store. I travel a lot, on my way to the airport I stopped to buy a Hard Drive. Mind you ....none of the jokers in the Hialeah, FL store mentioned the change in policy. My company provided me a Hard Drive a week later, without me knowing. I returned from my travels and got to the store on the 23 day to return it. The manager would not take it back! Brand new in the box....I was furious..and he didn't care...I'm closing my account and never shopping there again.
I wonder who the genius was that came up with that idea? I'm certain customers will trickle away.
Correction for the above Walmart/target/best buy all have the same wait for it "electronics" return policy. Take your $399 laptop back to Walmart see what happens :). Available product support at Walmart/target hmm.

Quinn Address Aims at Middle Class
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, the front-runner in this year's race for mayor, is proposing to create 40,000 "affordable" apartments for middle-income New Yorkers during the next decade, the largest such commitment since the mid-1950s.
In her final state of the city address as speaker, Ms. Quinn on Monday said the city's top priority must be to "keep our middle class here," and she described affordable housing as being at the heart of a "crisis" afflicting this shrinking segment of the city.
The council on Monday released a report showing how median rents for middle-class households rose 6.2% since 2001, while the price of condos surged 47% in the same time period. The city's middle-class unemployment rate is 6.2%, three times higher than it was in 2008, the report said.
Another of the speaker's housing proposals, aimed at keeping more housing permanently affordable, mirrored an initiative championed two years ago by the Real Estate Board of New York and rejected by Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration as too expensive.
With economic issues emerging as a central focus in the mayor's race, Ms. Quinn's speech was clearly aimed at portraying her as a strong champion of middle-class needs. The speech immediately drew sharp criticism from her rivals for the Democratic nomination, one of whom accused her of teaming up with Mr. Bloomberg, a close ally, to block many proposals that would help working families.
"We face an affordability crisis in our city and it cuts right to the fabric of New York," said Ms. Quinn, speaking to a packed audience in the council's chambers. "We need to make sure that the people who want to stay in our great city can afford to stay—we have no greater obligation to the families we represent."
Ms. Quinn's plan to build 40,000 new middle-income apartments would be the largest such housing construction program since the Mitchell-Lama program was created in 1955 to provide affordable rental and cooperative housing to moderate- and middle-income families.
The speaker's proposal would cost roughly $300 million annually, and she recommended paying for that with $150 million in additional borrowing. The other half would come from savings and reallocation in the current capital budget, she said.
The speaker said she will also be supporting state legislation that would provide building owners with a tax exemption, capping their property taxes at a certain percentage of their rental income. In exchange, the building owners would be required to keep their apartment units priced at affordable levels.
The Real Estate Board floated a similar proposal, but the mayor's administration rejected it as too costly. Some members of the real estate industry have offered financial backing to Ms. Quinn's campaign for mayor.
Ms. Quinn also proposed a middle-class child care tax credit, another initiative that would need Albany's backing. Under that proposal, a family with two children making $75,000 a year would receive a total annual benefit of $2,040.
A mayoral spokeswoman, Julie Wood, said Mr. Bloomberg will review the speaker's proposals. The mayor's affordable housing plan, which will finance and preserve 165,000 units by summer 2014, is aimed at low- and middle-income residents.
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, a Democratic mayoral candidate, said strengthening the middle class requires "more than lofty words" and he criticized Ms. Quinn for hurting working New Yorkers, citing her opposition to requiring employers to pay workers for sick days.
"Speaker Quinn has partnered with Mayor Bloomberg in blocking programs that would make a real difference to the lives of working families," Mr. de Blasio said in a statement.
Comptroller John Liu, a potential mayoral rival, said the speaker delivered a "nice, feel good speech," though he said some of her points were "puzzling if not disturbing." He said the speaker is "too wedded" to Mr. Bloomberg's "failed, wasteful" job-creation policies.

Lawmakers Press Holder on AP, IRS
Attorney General Testifies Before House Committee; Chairman Calls for 'Answers and Accountability'
WASHINGTON—Members of Congress expressed concern Wednesday about the Justice Department's subpoena of Associated Press phone records at a hearing where Attorney General Eric Holder had several testy confrontations with Republican lawmakers.
The House Judiciary Committee was hearing testimony from Mr. Holder amid multiple controversies involving the department, including the AP issue and the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups.
The committee's chairman, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.), said any abridgement of freedom of the press was "very concerning." The top Democrat on the panel, Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, generally praised Mr. Holder's record but also said he was troubled the government sought such a broad array of phone records from AP. The department took calling records of some 20 phone numbers used by AP journalists, including personal numbers.
"I was not the person involved in that decision," said Mr. Holder, reiterating that he was recused from the case. "I am not familiar with the reasons" that the subpoena was written so broadly, he said. He said Deputy Attorney General James Cole was the person who authorized the subpoena.
Mr. Goodlatte said the Justice Department handling of the matter "appears to be contrary to the law and standard procedure."
The AP subpoenas were connected to a probe by Ronald Machen, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, into a leak concerning a 2012 counterterrorism operation in Yemen. Mr. Holder said that he recused himself because he was interviewed by investigators over the leak and was a "fact witness" in the case.
At a news conference Tuesday, Mr. Holder said the leak justified a vigorous probe because "it put the American people at risk, and that is not hyperbole."
On the IRS issue, Mr. Goodlatte said the agency's actions were "outrageous" and called for "answers and accountability."
Mr. Holder said the department would be "appropriately aggressive" in its investigation of the IRS's actions. But he also said he hoped the investigation wouldn't have a chilling effect on people raising legitimate questions about the ways in which groups seek tax-exempt status.
In response to a question from GOP Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, Mr. Holder said that among the potential criminal issues is whether officials made false statements. Critics have accused some IRS officials of misleading Congress about what they knew of the targeting of tea party and other conservative groups.
On several occasions, Republican lawmakers sparred with Mr. Holder, who frequently came under fire during the Obama administration's first term on issues such as the Fast and Furious gun-trafficking probe.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), who led a congressional probe of Fast and Furious, hammered away at the actions of Justice Department lawyer Thomas Perez, who has been nominated as labor secretary. Mr. Issa took the unusual step of having the committee play an audio recording allegedly of Mr. Perez speaking about efforts to get a fair-housing case removed from the Supreme Court's docket.
A visibly agitated Mr. Holder criticized the way Mr. Issa conducted himself, calling it "shameful."
Another Republican, Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, accused the Federal Bureau of Investigation of failing to follow leads about accused Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Mr. Holder said Mr. Gohmert's questions got the facts wrong.
"I know what the FBI did. You cannot know what I know," Mr. Holder told the lawmaker, who responded, "The attorney general failed to answer my questions."
Mr. Holder took the opportunity to clarify a remark at a previous hearing in March, when he made headlines by suggesting that criminal investigations of big banks were difficult because of their impact on the economy. "The size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them," he told the Senate then.
On Wednesday, he said his remarks were misinterpreted and if cases against banks could be proven they would be brought. "Banks are not too big to jail," Mr. Holder said.

I've got two drives in my laptop, a 120GB SSD and a 320GB hard drive. Ubuntu (11.04 amd64) is on the hard drive, set up using LVM. Now, I got this SSD recently, and I want to put Ubuntu on it for faster boot times and such. What exactly happens if, say, I create a new physical volume on the SSD, and add new physical extents to my existing logical volumes (say, / and /home)? Will files be moved over to the SSD at all? Is there striping that goes on? The goal is for my sytem to be faster, so I want to make sure that important files are on the SSD but it would be nice if I could avoid reinstalling completely. I'm still not that comfortable with LVM. I actually tried doing a fresh install to my SSD but for some reason it failed in the middle of installing software packages (after I set up the new physical volume and stuff for the SSD).
In general, how do people run Ubuntu on systems with a hard drive and an SSD, for best preformance? Thanks!
Edit: I should mention that 80GB of the SSD is allocated to Windows (for games) so Ubuntu only has about 35GB (random system reserved things and mistruths in advertising make up the last bit).

I usually shoot 1080 24p. I was collecting some pictures to put together onto a slideshow DVD for family and wanted to include scenes from video. Getting a frame as a png from 24p video was easy and good quality.
Some of my video happens to be 1080 60i (when you happen to switch camera to Auto mode it resets this). Trying to perform the same steps (extract frame from clip monitor) for 60i video leaves me with some not nice interlaced effects. (horizontal lines).
Viewing the same video from VLC I can stop the video at my desired "snap" and use "Video > Take SnapShot" tool to get the nice looking composition.
Clearly I am not understanding interlace and de-interlace very well, I think I know the basics.
Can I get a nice "snapshot" from kdenlive on 60i video?
Sun, 04/28/2013 - 07:53
Have you tried extracting a frame from either monitor? What version of kdenlive are you using? Latest versions offers deinterlace methods and interpolation quality control for monitor preview and image extraction.
Although even old vertions of kdenlive use Yadif deinterlace and bicubic interpolation anyway which was pretty reasonable.
Sun, 04/28/2013 - 17:01
Hi, make sure you use a progressive project profile and the interlaced content will be deinterlaced for the project and monitor output should be 'better'.
Sun, 04/28/2013 - 20:18
If you want to extract images from the monitors deinterlaced, it appears a 'progressive' project template must be used. 1080p at 59.96 interlaced scanning is not 1080p but 1080i. So you need to make sure that when you look at the project profile settings it says 'progressive' not 'interlaced' for the purposes of extracting images.
Yes you're right there should be a 1080i 60 fps if you want to export interlaced content, which is really the 'best' way to do it if you're using interlaced source files. But that won't help you with extracting deinterlaced frames from the monitors.
I'd not rely on kdenlive recommending anything, choose your project profile or create a custom one based on what you want to output ie: interlaced or progressive, image frame extraction etc.
Mon, 04/29/2013 - 07:10
If your source is 1080i at 59.96 fps then a 30p 59.96/1001 progressive project would be required as deinterlacing combines the 2 fields rather than frame doubling?
Are you sure the preview looks good, really signs of interlacing will only be apparent on still frames in areas of motion.
If you look in your clip properties, does MLT / kdenlive report the source as interlaced scanning or progressive?
If it reports progressive you'll need to 'Force Interlaced' and specify field order.
Tue, 04/30/2013 - 09:37
Im shooting in 1080p at 59,96 fps and looking good for me.

Good for you, but the original poster is shooting 1080i. ;-)
Wed, 05/01/2013 - 09:37
Fairly sure crobifrido is a spammer and his post was a spam post. Was not 100% sure so I gave him benefit of the doubt and deleted is link spam and let it ride.
Wed, 05/01/2013 - 10:32
Yeah, I thought it was too, you can tell by the pointless comments they make, but as there was no spam link in the post when I checked / answered and no website etc in the account details, I too gave benefit of the doubt although felt something not right.
Personally if there's a spam link, dubious website link in the account particulars then they're dead in the water, no benefit of doubt a link to spam is just that, no place on kdenlive nor the s**t who posted it, account deleted and any content. There and then no messing with removing links. :-)
Has this removing SPAM links from a post / giving benefit of doubt a regular thing? Because thinking back there's been numerous posters that not only have an iffy name but stupid comment unrelated to the OP's original subject matter where gut feeling is it was SPAM but no usual website link in the post.
Don't know about you but it p--sses me off finding I've responded to one of them because a link's been removed, we spend enough time deleting dumb ass SPAM every day recently about freaking Kitchens again without encouraging this action by conversing with them and leaving their pointless comments and accounts open. :-)

I did an all-grain rye for a mash and pitched with Premier Cuvee yeast (tolerant to 18% abv), 5 grams to 4 gal wort. Repitched it again and the forced fermentation test indicates that the mash is done at 1.030. Any ideas/suggestions? Should I check and adjust the pH if it is below 4?
Wow, this brew is really giving you trouble! The high FG is most likely a problem with the mash, that it was too warm, producing a lot of unfermentable sugars, or that conversion was not complete, resulting in a lot of starch and cloudiness. Both will give you a high finishing gravity.
To try to fix this, you can add additional enzymes to break down the unfermentables into fermentables. One common source of enzymes is the dietry suppliment Beano. Another is the product known as Dry Beer Enzyme. The one time I used it, gravity fell from 1.015 to 1.002 - I don't recall the timescales, but at room temperature the enzyme needs a few days or more to break down the sugars.
One downside with adding enzymes to the fermentor is that it's difficult to control the final gravity. With hungry champagne yeast, you may end up consuming all the sugars, leading to a very dry and bitter beer.
EDIT: Regarding pH, I'd be surprised if your pH is below 4, unless there were lots of highly kilned malts and your water is soft. The optimal pH for fermentation is pH 4.6, although yeast will ferment below pH 4, just slower. In this paper, yeast continue fermenting down to pH 2.8.
If you did a forced fermentation and it went down to 1.030, then that's it...its over. You have a process problem and pH or other things aren't the solution.

Here comes more ethanol
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has decided to allow up to 15 percent ethanol in gas for cars made after 2007. Currently, gasoline contains up to 10 percent ethanol.
Photo: NPR
Concerns are already being raised. The Wall Street Journal reports:
"Auto makers and oil marketers have expressed concern that use of gasoline with higher ethanol content may harm engines, particularly in older models, leaving a big bill to honor vehicle warranties. Some leisure boat owners--who already use a higher ethanol/gasoline blend--are already suing fuel suppliers. Refiners can choose to buy credits to meet the government's existing renewable fuels mandate instead of blending more ethanol into their mix. Gasoline stations will have to ensure that fuel dispensers, pipes and tanks are certified for use with the higher ethanol usage or replace them to avoid potential lawsuits for any vehicle damage. Pumps will have to be clearly labeled as E10 (for a 10% ethanol blend) or E15 (for 15% blend) but that may not be enough to prevent misfueling, industry associations said."
Adding to worries is that ethanol demand creates competition between food and fuel.
The newspaper also reports that ethanol producers gave only "a cautious welcome' to the EPA news. One trade group official that supports alternative fuels admits the jury is still on E15.

Green salsa made for a nice change from traditional chilli. Used 2 cans of kidney beans and added small can of organic tomato paste to thicken. (great idea shared by another member). Topped with a dollop of low-fat sour cream and shredded Monterey. Served with whole wheat saltine crackers
Beef & Bean Chile Verde
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Chile Verde, usually a slow-cooked stew of pork, jalapeños and tomatillos, becomes an easy weeknight meal with quick-cooking ground beef and store-bought green salsa. Make it a Meal: Serve with fresh cilantro, red onion and Monterey Jack. Add your favorite hot sauce.
97 Reviews for Beef & Bean Chile Verde
This is a fast, easy, yummy & different take on regular old chili. I can only find green salsa with medium heat, so I omit the cayenne because we don't like food too spicy in our house.
Serve over brown rice with some lowfat cheddar & sour cream and scallions.
Totally hearty and delicious! As other reviewers wrote, I added a bit of tomato paste and some corn. Also made it with lean ground turkey. I used that fontina brand green salsa. I'll make this again for sure.
Great food to feed a lot of people, serve with fresh bread, or tortillas, sprinkle with a mild cheese, or sharp cheddar, also great the next morning served with fried eggs. I always get many compliments when I serve this. Thanks
This is a good chili recipe considering the beef called for is very lean. Tried it the first few times following the recipe exactly - the final result - I reduced the cumin by 1/2, switched up red salsa for green ( green salsa has a little to much heat !), now its a weekly meal!!! Play around with different brand salsas, you'll get a unique flavor from each one.
