If the application is approved, C3 Petrochemicals will build a new propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant near Alvin, Texas, to produce polymer- and chemical-grade propylene.
C3 Petrochemicals plans to build a new
propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant near Alvin, Texas,
according to an air quality permit application that the
company filed this month with the US Environmental Protection Agency
The plant would produce polymer-grade propylene (PGP) and
chemical-grade propylene (CGP) through the dehydrogenation
process. Capacity information was not disclosed.
Construction of the PDH plant would
begin in January 2014, with startup scheduled for the fourth
quarter of 2015.
The plant will use propane feedstock and distribute the
resulting propylene by pipeline. As part of the process,
ethane, ethylene and methane will also be produced, according
to the filing.
If approved, the plant will be built on the grounds of Ascend
Performance Materials chemical manufacturing complex at
Chocolate Bayou.

Is this the same project that Ascend announced (as a $1.2 Billion Plant) ? Doesn't sound right. I'd like to put it on our list of new projects. See http://www.chemplants.com

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Sometimes, I get confused as I add more and more ideas and scenes in a plot, is there any way of arranging these?
Buy a bunch of 3x5 cards and write plot elements on them, then organize them into a line or a tree or some other visual representation that makes sense to you. Play around with orders: put everything chronologically, then put it how you intend to tell it. When doing this, you can also decide what not to tell by removing cards and seeing if the action still makes sense. You can use highlighters to color-code different cards: either by character or by importance or by storyline, or whatever criteria you feel is necessary.
Keep in mind, not everything that happens needs to be known to the reader. It might make things easier to write if you can figure out how to decide what they won't see. Certainly make cards for every event that happens, but remember that just because you made a card does not mean you have to write about it in the story.
I highly recommend using Scrivener. It's an amazing Mac program that now has a Windows beta version. It takes Turnips' flash card idea and lets you do that in the program. You can also write the scenes and rearrange and add scenes as you need to.
You could try using a simple spreadsheet. Use the rows to represent characters or events and the columns to represent time frames or locations. You can put each of the elements into place to get a visual representation of your story flow. This will not only help you to develop a consistent timeline, but also to make sure that you don't have any characters showing up in two locations at the same time.
I've used various methods. Right now I'm using the "Windows" based POST-IT notes and have created a "story board" using their memoboard. I also copy the data to a flash drive to use on others PCs.

Start the New Year with Finishing!
Hi everyone! It's the end of the aughts! We're almost in the tens! This is crazy. And I have some crazy good news for local knitters! I'm very excited to be teaching a workshop at the Slater Mill Knitting Weekend in Pawtucket, January 22-24th. I'll be presenting a Berroco Trunk Show on Friday evening and on Saturday I'll share the finishing tricks I've picked up over the years.
How has this decade been for you, knitting wise? I've known how to knit since I was 7 but when Debbie Stoller's Stitch and Bitch guide hit the market in 2004, the game changed forever for me. It went from a quaint hobby to an all-encompassing lifestyle. That change was cemented when I joined the ranks of Ravelry in 2007. I'm forever grateful for this site since it allows all of us to feel like we're in a vast (and TALENTED) community. Case in point? I recently posted some of my favorite Berroco accessories and the list was so long I decided to save my favorite cardigans for another day. That day is today!
A gorgeous Angela knit by Raveler Martel in Sundae (I recently finished a Sundae sweater in 24 hours!!)
Claire-Bennet, an original design in Peruvia by Raveler Ariane Caron-Lacoste. I love her adorable photography.
Next up is a pattern I truly wish I could knit for myself. It was designed by fellow Providence designer Deborah Newton, shown here knit by Lucy in Ultra Alpaca in a color I like to call "sweatshirt grey." Such a pretty way to keep cozy!
I have a half-knit Treeline Striped Cardigan under my bed, but I was boring and started it in the very same colors shown in the original pattern. I love the winter fresh combination Elif chose–Peruvia in green and white.
Last but not least, this is a stunning Moch Cardi knit by Julia in Inca Gold. I can't say enough about this pattern, this knitter, this yarn, it's all good!! Very very good!
I don't know about you, but I am really looking forward to finding a bit of down time during the holidays…to knit like MAD!!
I'd like to add my Stefane, knit in Ultra Alpaca for my niece, shown on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/kewpiedoll99/stefane
I'm giving it to her tomorrow for Christmas, so I hope to post a picture of her modeling it on Rav very soon!
Thanks, Cirilia, for a lovely pattern!December 23, 2009
Unlike you, I started knitting late in life – 2004. But Ravelry threw me pell-mell into knitting obsession. I had my first two published patterns in 2009. So it was an exciting decade knitting-wise! I'm dying to keep designing as family obligations allow.January 1, 2010
Deborah Newton #
Dear Cirilia,
Thanks! And the best of New Years to you! HAPPY KNITTING!
Deb NewtonJanuary 2, 2010
Thanks for posting these inspiring knits! I'm lucky enough to have seen Martel's knit in person since we both go to the same LYS – it's a beauty!
Hope you had a very happy holiday and found your 'mad knitting time'!January 8, 2010
Lucy #
Holy Moley!
A friend just told me to go look on Berroco's blog. I am blushing a deep shade of plaid. Thanks for choosing to show my project, Cirilia! It's very flattering. Now I wish I had updated my photos with one that shows the finished hem.
I love Ultra Alpaca, btw. It's a great yarn. I keep finding myself substituting the designer recommended yarns on patterns with it, not because I can't find the original yarn, but because I like Ultra Alpaca. I'm even starting to recalculate patterns to accomodate it.
Oops, I think I'm babbling. I'm just very flattered.
So embarrassed I may die,
LucyJanuary 13, 2010

Nail The Rogues
Nail the Rogues
Each year, UK homeowners waste £1.5 billion on bad building jobs, registering 111,000 complaints against rogue builders. This summer, Birmingham City Council's Building and Consultancy Services are tackling the issue head on, with a campaign called 'Nail the Rogues.' They have teamed up with Trading Standards and the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) to give you some useful tips on avoiding rogue builders.
Beware of Rogue Builders
If you need to have some building work done, you will also need to think carefully about choosing a builder.
We've all heard about the damage and upset that rogue builders can cause – so it's very important to choose a quality builder.
Making the public aware of the dangers
This campaign is part of an ongoing process to make homeowners aware that although in the minority, rogue builders not only endanger people's safety but can also affect the value of their homes. Many homeowners often don't realise that if they employ rogue builders that carry out work that falls short of regulation standards, they can be responsible for costly remedial works when the "so called" builder disappears. Unfortunately, many of Birmingham's residents realize too late, when they come to sell their house and the problems show up in solicitors' searches.
The information provided as part of 'Nail the rogues,' campaign offers easy to follow, practical advice for all homeowners considering building, with important points such as: getting at least three quotes for building work, using a written contract, not dealing in cash and avoiding paying large sums upfront before the work has started.
Of course, you will need to check whether your project requires building regulations approval or planning permission.
For more information
Please contact Birmingham City Council's Building and Consultancy Services on 0121 675 7006 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
If you have any queries about planning permission you can ring the planning helpline on 0121 303 1115
For independent advice about finding a builder, contact:
The Federation of Master Builders on 0121 421 2241 or visit www.findabuilder.co.uk

Enter your zip code for product availability and pickup options at your nearest store or select a store by state.
Now you can travel lighter than ever with our Eagle Creek Specter Pack-It Folders. It's essential for organized travel, keeping everything from suits to shirts neatly folded, compact and wrinkle-free. Made from a material similar to parachutes, it's 50% lighter than our original Eagle Creek Pack-It System. Each folder includes a special, lightweight folding board with folding and packing instructions. These Folders are modular components of the Eagle Creek Pack-It System.
Enter your zip code for product availability and pickup options at your nearest store or select a store by state.
When Packing Garments: Remove the folding board after folding each garment and use it to fold the next item. Alternating the direction of each garment makes efficient use of your packing space. After loading your folded clothes onto the Pack-It Folder, place the folding board on top garment and close the folder snugly with velcro fasteners. For Blazers and Jackets, opt for a front fold or a side fold. For the side fold, fold unbuttoned and vertically. The folding board is not needed for slacks, jeans or pants if you follow the folding directions on the folding board. To Retrieve or Unpack Garments: Use the folding board to lift the entire stack of garments or to reach a desired garment. This way, you're sure not to disturb the other garments organized in the Pack-It Folder.
Small Folder holds 6-8 men's dress shirts and the Medium holds 8-12.

I have a really large table and I need to add it to a portrait document. Is there any way to make a single page landscape in Google Docs? In word you could add a "Section break" and do that. I hope it's not too much to ask. I'm working on a document with my friend and I can't just use Word. :(
migrated from superuser.com Oct 31 '11 at 17:06
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
Currently a single Google Document can only be either Landscape or Portrait not both. Changing page orientation is done by selecting File and then Page setup...
It is currently recommended to separate the Landscape and Portrait pages into different documents.
A good place to get more information that might help is at Google Products Forums.
Note: An additional option might be to have three files in Google Docs. The Portrait, The Landscape, and Microsoft Word Doc which integrates the two layouts into the correct sequence (this document would be Read Only when viewed in Google Docs).
A Microsoft Word document may allow multiple orientations of the Page Layout, but if it is converted to a Google Document the Page Layout for each page will revert to the first Orientation found in the document.
Also, creating multiple Orientations in Word isn't as straight forward as one might want either.
For those wanting to do this in Word: Use portrait and landscape orientation in the same document
All you have to do is go to file, page setup, and then go to landscape.

What's the syntax for selecting a range of lines?
I want to run a command over lines 1405 until 1700.
And one from 1405 until the end of file, without wanting to look up that number.
Update: Is it possible to select a range from the current line to Nth line?

Everyone knows the Tutte's Theorem (necessary & sufficient condition for a graph to have a perfect matching - viz wikipedia page on Tutte's Theorem).
The deficient version of this Theorem is:
G has matching covering all vertices with exception of at most k vertices
for any subset S of V(G) holds that the number of odd components of G-S is at most |S|+k
Obviously, Tutte's Theorem is special case of deficient Tutte's Theorem for k equal to zero.
Can this version be somehow be easily proven with aid of the original Tutte's Theorem? E.g. with transformation of G to some more convenient graph, where Tutte's condition would hold...

Here is another option:
Bolt the R10 clamp onto a T adapter (two bolts). Bolt the T adapter onto the upper arm (maybe two bolts). Slide it all the way forward and attach your lens ring adapter. Simple, cheap, uses existing parts (ok, you will need some metric nuts for the two bolts used to attach the clamp to the T adapter).
With a very small modification to the T adapter, it could work. Instead of the slot, put two tapped holes.

TEXOMA -- Accidents are not just limited to roadways but on the water as well. Here are some tips to stay safe while boating this summer.
Lake officials say boating accidents typically occur around holidays like July 4th weekend when most tickets are written. Oklahoma Highway Patrol says, although the 4th of July is now behind us, we should stay cautious of alcohol-related boating accidents this summer.
Whether you're diving, fishing, boating or swimming, Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer, Michael Green says the cause of most lake accidents involve alcohol.
"Drinking and driving a boat is just as illegal as drinking and driving a car," said Green. "We're going to be out there on the lakes looking for them and there's going to be people taken to jail for it. So just don't put yourself in that situation. Be mindful of the people around you."
As a regular boater for over 15 years, Carter County resident Steve Stephens says, he's still concerned about the driving of others.
"People need to realize that drinking and driving is unsafe. When you do drink, it makes you feel invincible sometimes, and then you really get carried away, and you're a danger to yourself, everybody in your boat, and everybody on the lake with you," said Stephens.
Since boats don't have brakes, there's an added risk of collision and drowning. Officer Green points out, "Boats don't drop on a dime like your car's do so there's no forgiveness."
With Lake Texoma being the 12th largest lake in the U.S., authorities suspect the lake season is sure to bring plenty of boaters, and with that, an increased risk of accidents.
If you plan to visit the lake this summer, officials ask that you:
Pay attention to local weather reports.
Don't swim alone.
Have life jackets on board for everyone in the boat.
Make sure there aren't too many people on board for the size of your boat.
And just like Officer Green suggests, if you are going to drink, make sure you have a designated driver. Remember, those convicted of boating while intoxicated could face a large fine and jail time.
"Think safety at all times," he said. "If you're safe, then the people around you are going to be safer and that's what we're looking for. Just to make sure that everybody drives safe."

[B3/RC1/RC2] Weird stuff happening on Chrome 18/19
I know Chrome 19 is a dev build yet, but some strange things are happening while I'm developing and testing on Chrome 19.
Sometimes buttons from toolbars and tabs from tabpanel are not rendered. After add a new tab or buttons, the others tabs/buttons are rendered.
Sometimes columns's width from grids inside tabpanels decrease after change to another tab and back to the first one.
Refreshing the whole page fix these problems. But after sometime they come back. This is totally random and I'm sure I'm not doing anything wrong on my code.
This is not happening with any other browser. Even on Chrome 17 this is not a issue.
Anyone have the same problem?

So looking at one example as I'm sure the root cause is the same, the buttons in toolbar not showing all the time. Is this reproducible in a small test case? I know you said it's random but does it happen in a small test?Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

I can't reproduce these problems on the extjs examples (small cases I have in hands now). I will try to set up a basic application with only the necessary components and try to reproduce them.
Anyway, my application is basically a viewport with a tabpanel.
The first tab is a simple HTML, and other tabs can be opened with menu calls.
These new tabs can be forms or grids. The toolbar issue happens in any of these tabs randomly.
I'm leaving for the weekend now, but on Monday I will do more tests.

I've been using the nightly builds and I can say that, at least for me, the issue with Chrome 18/19, was resolved on the latests builds of Feb. I don't know which build was beta3 based on... (haven't used the official releases sin the nightly builds are available)
The problem with toolbar buttons "disappearing" (the markup is there but the width was set to 0px) and grid columns losing its "flex" (the columns where shrinking to the left), and the problem with charts legend stuck on the upper left, where happening constantly on my end... and I also could reproduce then toolbar/grid problems on the theme example of the different builds.... (it was a matter of resizing the window just a few times, sorting on some grids, or resizing a panel a few times... sometimes it happened on the first window resize, sometimes it happened after a lot of tries, it was a really rare and random bug...)
I had to move to chrome stable (still using it), but now I'm constantly testing with google canary, so, at least with the builds from the 27-28 of Feb and Canary (19.0.1064.0 canary) the problem seems to be fixed.
Hope it helps
9 Mar 2012 12:49 PM #6
I have seen the same problems, I posted this on chromium forums. Maybe if you all do the same they will reply!
9 Mar 2012 1:05 PM #7
The thing is, IMHO, that the problems with the toolbar buttons & grid column widths, were in ExtJS 4.1 not in Chrome/Chromium...
On ExtJS 4.0.7, using the same browsers, chrome 18/19, there was no way to reproduce the toolbar btns & grid columns... (can't recall if the chart legend problems happened on 4.0.7 or not)....
In any case... try the nightly builds, I haven't been able to reproduce the problems with the nightly builds...
Hope it helps
9 Mar 2012 1:07 PM #8
I would just add that we have users with 4.07 code, and we get the chrome "Aww Snap" error. Just happen when they got new version of chrome. When we reverted back all issues were gone.
You can tell that your app will go haywire when the text and buttons of toolbars dont show, or you collapse a west panel, your center region disappears.
9 Mar 2012 1:15 PM #9
heheh, well, then maybe it's a chrome bug hehe, and maybe got resolved in the latest 19 builds...
I will try to find time and test with the 18 builds during the weekend and see if I can reproduce the problems with the nightly builds...
All my apps are now running on 4.1, and I'm pretty happy with it...
I've been downloading the nightly builds daily and kdiff'ing them..., sometimes I had to do a few overrides (like the one on the file input that were rendered as disabled, and a few others).. now I just have 3 or 4 overrides (that's even less that what I had on 3.x)...
Overall I'm quite happy with how 4.1 has improved things again...
12 Mar 2012 4:00 AM #10
Thanks for your help, you described the same problems I have, but the only difference is the build date. I'm happy to know these problems are not there anymore. Probably these issues have already been fixed in the build you are using.
I'm using the last public beta 3 build:
Build date: 2012-02-21 23:18:31
As I don't have access to the nightly builds (even with commercial license) so I have to wait for a new public release.
This is another example why Sencha should open their bugtracker. I spent hours trying to discover WHAT and IF I was doing something wrong, but in the end it seems it was a bug and has already been fixed.

We have a question and answers outlining the significant differences between the "big two" DSLR brands. I'm interested in the other DSLR makers, and how the cameras they make compare in terms of significant features, system design philosophy, and unique or interesting photographic capabilities enabled or made easier by these cameras. Likewise, what such things are not handled as well?
Take "the big two have more market share" and the associated advantages of availability, accessibility, and third-party support and documentation as a given.
I'm not interested here in compact cameras, interchangeable-lens cameras with electronic viewfinders, or in rangefinders.
I know Olympus is primarily focused on the mirrorless Micro-Four Thirds, but they still have current models in the E series. Likewise, while Sony seems focused on the pellicle-mirror SLT line (which uses an electronic viewfinder), the a900 is still a traditional DSLR.
P.S.: Differences in lens lineups are covered at How much do lens lineups vary across platforms?

Parties Pivot to Blame Game in Cliff Saga
GOP Girds for Brunt of Ire, but Polls Suggest Fingers Will Also Point at Democrats; Obama Aides Recall Debt-Limit Clash
If Congress and the White House fail to strike a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, Republicans are under few illusions as to who will get much of the blame—even if past polls suggest there will be plenty to go around.
"The poor Republicans will get the brunt of it, which may be unfair, but such is life," said Republican Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, a former White House budget chief under George W. Bush. "The Republicans are seen as the obstinate ones, where at the very least, the president and his side are equally so."
Polls since the November election have found Americans more ready to blame the GOP than President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats if the two sides fail to reach a deal to avoid the wave of tax increases and spending cuts coming Jan. 1. A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll earlier this month showed 24% would blame Republicans while 19% would blame Democrats.
That's not to say failure wouldn't carry plenty of peril for all participants. In the same poll, more people—about half—said they would blame both parties. More-recent polls by Gallup and other organizations have shown a bigger disapproval of Republicans, while counting a plurality tagging everyone with blame.
Looking Over the Fiscal Cliff
The federal government faces a rolling series of deadlines over the next few months in its continuing budget battle. Take a look ahead.
Falling Over the Fiscal Cliff
See some scenarios for how different groups of people may be affected by the tax changes that will take place if the fiscal cliff isn't resolved by the Jan. 1., 2013, deadline.
If a deal isn't struck before midnight Monday and the White House and a new Congress can't find a way to broker a compromise in the first weeks of January, reduced paychecks and the threat of sharp cuts in federal spending could damp economic growth, rattle business confidence and spread fear in financial markets. Under the worst case, the country could tip back into recession, casting a shadow over Mr. Obama's second term.
"The downside risk is the reality of what would happen if this doesn't get fixed quickly, the economy takes a hit, and Obama is seen as responsible," said Steve Elmendorf, a former senior Democratic House aide.
How both sides assess the likelihood of blame being cast their way is one factor that has driven their weekend deal making. Democrats, for example, are gambling that they can continue to apply pressure on the presumption that Republicans have the most to lose from failure.
Mr. Obama won re-election in November on a pledge to raise taxes on higher-income Americans. A large majority—65%—told the Journal poll in early December that Mr. Obama's victory had given him a mandate to cut the federal deficit by raising taxes and trimming spending.
In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" that aired Sunday, Mr. Obama argued that voters should blame the impasse on ideological divisions within the Republican Party. The difficulty in striking a deal, he said, "is an indication of how far certain factions inside the Republican Party have gone where they can't even accept what used to be considered centrist, mainstream positions on these issues."
House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) said in a statement the problem was Mr. Obama's "unwillingness to agree to anything that would require him to stand up to his own party."
A botched attempt to cut a last-minute fiscal cliff deal could worsen relations between the White House and congressional Republicans at a time when more-consequential work needs to be done to address government deficits at a time of rapidly rising costs for the Medicare program. Leaders in both parties also want to push ahead on other contentious fronts, such as overhauling the country's immigration laws.
"This is a governance test that, if both sides flunk, will have long-term implications for Washington and the country," said Doug Holtz-Eakin, a Republican economist and former director of the Congressional Budget Office. "If you can't agree on this, what can you agree on?"
White House aides remember how damaged Mr. Obama was by the showdown with Republicans in the summer of 2011 over raising the federal debt limit. The clash led to the downgrading of the U.S. credit rating and a sharp fall in the stock market. The president's approval ratings hit their lowest level that fall, fanning talk that he could be vulnerable in the 2012 election.
Still, the standoff magnifies one of the challenges Republicans face as they try to regain their footing after the last election. Exit polls in November found voters generally in favor of tax increases on upper-income households and suspicious of a GOP many voters viewed as tilted toward the affluent.
"However else this debate gets sorted by the public—and it's frankly very confusing—one thing the Democrats can drive home hard is how the Republicans won't raise taxes on the wealthy, and that already fits into the negative narrative that helped bring them defeat in November," said Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster.
Former Republican Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota said his party would be wise to position itself better by showing some flexibility. "Standing on principle on the tax issue is not something that helps the country or helps move the issue forward," he said. "Compromise doesn't mean giving up on principle. It means finding some common ground."
Meanwhile, as talks dragged on, both sides positioned themselves. New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, said on ABC's "This Week" the main obstacle to a deal was "50 hard-right people in the House who don't want to compromise."
Sen. Jon Kyl, a Republican from Arizona who also was on "This Week," responded that the Democrats' lack of commitment to forging a compromise gives them "no standing to complain about the Republicans' lack of balance."

I think in the lower leagues, a good tactic should let you do that. Nobody blamed god when Brian Clough did it, or did they?
and that's because in lower leagues there isn't a huge difference between clubs and as for the managers, well I probably wouldn't let them manage my school team. We are all Mourinho's compared to those managers.. At least in the game, irl of course not but than if they made it THAT realistic, only a thousand or so players could achieve something in FM, the others throwing the game to the bin asap.

While the colors of the rainbow (or spectral colors) form a continuum, people have assigned them to finitely many pigeonholes for centuries and probably millennia. Apparently, Newton used seven colors to describe the rainbow. He wrote in Latin, I think, but we'd call them red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Nowadays, schoolchildren are taught the six colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. (I guess the indigo faded in the laundry, or something.) Does Judaism (the Torah) do this: is there some finite number of colors of the rainbow (or spectrum) listed somewhere? If so, is there any (midrashic or similar) significance assigned to that list?
Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Zohar (Bereishis 18b and in other places) states that the rainbow has three colors, חוור סומק וירוק - white (or pale), red and green.
In Bereishis it associates these three colors with Gavriel, Michael and Raphael. Elsewhere (Bamidbar 215a) it associates them with the three Avos. In one of the maamarim (chassidic discourses) of R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi, he associates them with three types of teshuvah, based on love of Hashem, fear, and "great mercy." Basically, then, all of these relate back to the "three lines" into which the sefiros fall: the right (chessed, kindness); the left (gevurah, severity/strictness); and the middle (tif'eres, mercy, a blend of chessed and gevurah).

i just thought of a awesome game how bout football manager type game with a driving game mixed in.say you took over man utd and u had an away game at tottenham (dam u tottenham)u had to drive to the game in time just a thought what uyou think guys
i just thought of a awesome game how bout football manager type game with a driving game mixed in.say you took over man utd and u had an away game at tottenham (dam u tottenham)u had to drive to the game in time just a thought what uyou think guys
This is a wind up, yeah?
**** no..
However, some superleague formula can be added in the game
I love these quarter to 1 in morning ideas
sounds incredibly dull to me tbh
lol lads thought it would be a good game obviously you dnt think so just imagine telling you board you was late because you got lost
not for me
That is the craziest idea I've heard in a while. Well done!
what would you add to it then?how bout becoming director of football in the game
thanks pimpnuts lol
Or a football accountancy game!!
huwflet its people like you that stop people coming onto these sites theres no need for sarcasem its just a laugh bet you sit there with your suit and scarf on shouting at ur screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely brilliant idea for the future of FM. I'd buy, oooh, 0.000 copies and so would 99.999% of people on Earth. I cannot speak for the other planets, they may think it worthy of purchase.
Some driving games have exotic locations. Down-town LA, streets of Monte Carlo, Nurburgring... what would Football Bus Driver have? Take your bus load of players along the most realistic motorways throughout Great Britain at speeds of up to 62mph! Drive to locations such as Nottingham, Grays and Sunderland!
Last edited by T4RG4; 15-12-2008 at 01:14.
sad sad people you all need to grow up!!!!
I think it would be good if the layout was like the sims & you got up every morning had some breakfast got dressed went to work, went up to the training ground and set up ur training for the day, then you go to your stadium/office and done your tactics and buy & seel players, The on match days you gointo the dressing room and you see all your players sitting there for there team talks
haha Obv it wont happen but its a fun idea
The OP is one of the best posts I have ever seen on this entire forum. Followed closely by post number #6.
Well done young man.
What if you're playing a match in the CL...
For example say you are a club in Italy and you have a fixture against some club in spain for the next CL match...
Then we can have a flight simulation too... we fly the airplane to the destination...
Or even when driving you bump into another car... to the board: "Sorry, this idiot came out from nowhere... That's why we were late... Not to worry though... he ended up in the hospital!"
On a more serious note:
This wouldn't be Football Manager anymore... so Hell no! although the idea itself is quite funny when you think about it...
Moddable minigames could be fun though lol. Like a game of doctor bibber when one of the players get injured. A pokergame where you can invite some other coaches and bet the clubs money away. Or a game where you have to try to walk in a straight line as long as possible to get home using your arrow keys on the keyboard to adjust for when you win the championships and you got hammered.
at least some people are mature enough to relize its all a bit off fun!take gta for example driving around pretending to be a gangster and jet packs very realistic i bet the other planets love that game hey!!
lol mike thats more like it especially the poker bit
What was OP thinking? I see good ideas that would actually add to the game get shot down on here so what was he thinking suggesting this weird idea?
what about a game where you also control the footballers wife
how about calling the local schools as we have a home game saturday and need ball boys lol
you can tell the imature ones a mile away
You can't exactly offer a silly idea and expect wild responses, mate.
hahaha nice one
Guys, I don't think he's joking...
Anyway I think we shud hav liek a gaem wer u cn shoot da crowd n liek da otha manager if hez gay
Please let me know if you want to hear anymore of my brilliant ideas.
Football Manager + Driving Game = hello world?
Come on, you cannot blame people for joking about it Its what little school kids say when you ask them what game they'd like to see made.
It'd have spaceships, and pokemon bits, and some FPS aliens to kill with huge weapons. Oh, and be a bit of GTA, FIFA and Home
I'll take five copies.
dude are you stoned?
Most managers will not drive the team bus so this is not high on our priorities for a Football Management game at the moment. You should assume that your team arrive on time for their matches.
what if dennis bergkamp is your coach and you've got a game on the continent, you may have to drive him.
Football Manager + Football manufacturing factory?
Football Manager + White line painting?
Football Manager + post-match kettle boiling simulator?
if you crash your bus, the whole team goes out injured. nice.
Keano's on record as saying he fell out with Liam Miller because he was always late. Keane said that he'd never met anyone who'd had so many prangs with his car! Needs programming into FM!
Then again, we have the Luke ??? [Plymouth keeper] driving incident. Maybe not so good
Nope, not for me, I have driving.
And what for all those young gamers with out a driver license? How do they go............. Oh, wait in game driving. Again, no not for me.
If SI were owned by EA and not by SEGA, these ideas would already be on their way to being Expansion packs at €30 each. I'd especially like the Football Accountant one. You could risk a 'ban' by trying to skim a bit off the top... maybe learn some dark secrets to hold against the chairman for ransom...
Last edited by baker.simon; 15-12-2008 at 11:04. Reason: Additional comment
lol fantastic idea
terrible, horrible, ridiculous idea
so a sort of football theft auto, but without the theft,
doesn't sound too good to me, got more important things to be thinking about (tactics, starting line up) then whether or not i take this exit on the motorway to get to the ground on time.
in my view this thread shows that narcotic abuse is a danger to society. drugs are for mugs kids. stay in school etc....
I cant belive this thread is still open! Could have got halfway up the M6 by now!
Football Bus Driver - explains itself really, you get to pick up your team from the home stadium and set off up the motorway to your next destination.
Football Pilot - Once the team board up at the airport you fly them across Europe for their CL matches.
Obviously if you have both, you could cover the whole journey. Depending on how well you drive/fly you could influence your teams ability in the upcoming fixture. Crash and you risk injuring key players or denting morale, drive too slowly and they might feel lethargic and demoralised. At the same time, driving too fast you might scare them, so getting the balance right to give them the optimum amount of adrenaline/excitement and you could be worth an extra .2 to player ratings.
Of course, you might want to go for the safer add-on options, like:
- Football Groundsman (mini-game based gardening sim)
- Director of Football (Football ebay..)
- Football Stadium Builder (work as a freelance designer/contractor and help build stadiums for all the teams in FM!)
These would all be definite purchases from me
Not to mention "Football Fan", where you get to watch games, though you need to decide whether to spend your income on merchandise and tv subscriptions or match tickets, season tickets and so on. You need to keep your morale up whilst not becoming bankrupt. You can train and learn songs to gain respect, or simply outlast the others. If you've got high agression, your shouts of anger can be especially effective, particularly in the lower leagues when it's just you and the opposition goalie at your end of the ground.you can just glory hunt or follow a 'foreign' side or just if you want but you have no influence on the game then, and the real fans laugh at you.
Im amazed this thread is still going!!!
Anyone wanna take bets on how many posts we get to before its closed!!
How about football Physio where you come up with the best treatment plan for injured players??
Let's become players agents
that'll atleast be more fun then driving around England in the rain,we aint no Richard Hammond
wow cant believe i posted that lol still how many posts just shows people will read anything lol
How about an FM where you can get fired for sh*gging the chairman's wife?
The worst idea ever
Funniest post I have ever read - beyond ridiculous

Head in the Cloud
At the end of the day, you have to sit down in an interview and say this is what I'm good at, give me whatever title you want.
Christopher Willis, Computer Networking, '13
Co-op Employer: MIT Lincoln Laboratory
Co-op Position: Systems Administrator
Hometown: Nashua, NH
On His Own
After his freshman year, Willis needed to find a way to pay for next year's tuition. He could have gone home over the summer and flipped burgers with pals, but he didn't. "I need to do something different and I need to progress my knowledge and my career," Willis said. So he applied at computer networking giant Cisco for a position normally filled by a co-op—Willis shined during a networking event with Cisco managers on campus— and spent the summer in Richardson, Texas, as a network engineer. "From that experience, I figured out … what I wanted to do," Willis said. Now he looks for job opportunities where he can flex his skillset in virtualization, storage area networks, and general networking—the three key skills to buffering future computer networks against failure. "All of them work hand-in-hand and will be the future of computing, especially as the cloud comes out."
Let's Get Virtual
The following summer, Willis worked as a systems administrator at local big-data pioneer EMC. Then, in May, he completed a co-op as a systems administrator at MIT Lincoln Laboratory—a research lab affiliated with the Department of Defense. One of his major projects included upgrading a department's system so that each engineer had access to a virtual environment powered by groups of high-performance computers. Freed from the old client-server model where each individual uploads work to a shared server via a desktop computer, the engineers now had access to a more secure and powerful machine that pooled computing resources. "It's just like having a physical machine except it's far more powerful, far more scalable, and saves tons of money," Willis said.
The Fast-Growing Computer
Willis says the computer field is perhaps the fastest-growing industry today with endless career opportunities. "I tell people this is the field to be in," Willis said. "You're working with a manmade thing that is growing exponentially in what it can do." While the job market may be booming, Willis says, don't expect the same job titles around today to be here tomorrow. "[Titles] lost their meaning at computers," Willis said. "At the end of the day, you have to sit down in an interview and say this is what I'm good at, give me whatever title you want." And that's just what he did during an interview for a co-op position as an Information Systems Cloud Architect with AIR Worldwide, where he will begin working in August on the next virtual product.

King Abdullah chairs Cabinet meeting in Jeddah
June 15, 2009
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz chaired the weekly Cabinet meeting today at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah. At the outset of the session, the King briefed the Cabinet on his contacts over the past few days with world leaders, including a telephone call from Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.
The Cabinet listened to a report on swine flu (the H1N1 virus), which has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The ministers stressed the importance of concerted regional and international efforts to combat the disease and discussed preparations for containing the spread of the virus during this year's Hajj season.
The Cabinet also reviewed regional developments, including the Palestinian situation and the latest American efforts to restart the Mideast peace process.
Turning to its agenda, the Cabinet authorized the Foreign Ministry to sign a memorandum of understanding with the United Kingdom regarding the collection of fingerprint and facial imaging data from visa-seeking Saudis; approved the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) decisions regarding (1) the list of goods exempted from the GCC unified customs tariff and (2) the amended controls for the exemption of industry input from customs duties in GCC countries; approved the creation of the National Committee for Clean Development Mechanisms under the supervision of the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources; extended state financing of the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities' projects; and approved an agreement on the promotion of mutual investments between Saudi Arabia and the Ukraine.
The Cabinet also approved the appointment of Abdulaziz Al-Mazyad to be the Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry for Technical Affairs at the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs (14th rank) and the appointment of Ibrahim Al-Soqo'oob as the Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry for Radio Affairs at the Ministry of Culture and Information (14th rank).

Is there a source for historical shapefiles and tiles? Like the ancient Greece/Rome, medieval Europe and Japan? Ideally with multiple snapshots during different periods in their development, since they've gone through quite a bit of restructuring over their lifespans.

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.
Here's something for the US.
The National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS) provides, free of charge, aggregate census data and GIS-compatible boundary files for the United States between 1790 and 2010.
take a look at: http://nils.weidmann.ws/projects/cshapes
Quote from the website: "CShapes is a new dataset that provides historical maps of state boundaries and capitals in the post-World War II period. The dataset is coded according to both the Correlates of War and the Gleditsch and Ward (1999) state lists, and is therefore compatible with a great number of existing databases in the discipline. Provided in a geographic data format, CShapes can be used directly with standard GIS software, allowing a wide range of spatial computations. In addition, we supply a CShapes package for the R statistical toolkit. This package enables researchers without GIS skills to perform various useful operations on the GIS maps"
Great Britain has http://visionofbritain.org.uk/
Using Scanned Maps that have been georeferenced and combined with historical elements, census, election results and more.
Example - Ordnance Survey Unions 1803

In Connecticut specifically, if an employer hires a company to take photographs of their employees (headshots with nothing in the background that may be considered company property), do the employees have any rights to the photographs? (e.g. for personal use).
I don't know about Connecticut specifically but in most of the world the copyrights belong only to the creator of the work (the photographer) - unless there is a contract that say otherwise (work for hire, transfer of rights, etc).
The subject of the photo has no rights to use the photo what so ever - except for those specifically given by the copyright owner (or anyone who was given permission to give such rights by the copyright holder).
note that, depending on the situation the photo was taken in and the local law it's possible the copyright holder can't use the image either without permission from the subject - but this doesn't seem to apply in this situation
So, the employee has no right to use the photo unless given permission, probably by the employer (assuming the contract between the employer and photography company includes either a copyright transfer or a license to do whatever they want with the images)
The subject has no copyright rights, but they do have model (or "personal image") rights in certain uses of the photo.
You might have some say in whether that photo could be used in advertising or marketing type content, but otherwise, what Nir said is correct. A lot also depends on what your employment agreement with the company says, so each case like this is individual to a person and company.

I have headphones in my helmet. Cost me all of about 15 bucks and a few minutes to sew them in and run the wires. Wind noise minimizes what you can hear on the highway anyway and even states where this isn't allowed generally don't enforce it.
Installing one of these avoids legal issues that headphones pose and allows for easier control though I generally set the music before I start and don't touch it til I'm sitting still in a parking lot. This makes the most sense if you have a big tourer but you do so at the peril of everyone in the parking lot you are blaring this in thinking you are a tool.
Note that this has a USB and an SD card slot for mp3s- pretty much was my reason for buying at a slightly higher price a while back. Having FM built in was just icing for me, all I wanted in a radio and an amp built in. For old Japanese cars with limited dash room it's a no brainer.

How to buy, prep, carve, preserve your pumpkin
|This undated publicity photo provided by Maniac Pumpkin Carvers shows the Maniac Pumpkin Carvers' interpretation of "Starry Night," by Vincent van Gogh, which was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, where it was displayed in the lobby last Halloween. For at least three months each Fall, pumpkin carvers Marc Evan and Chris Soria, of New York City, relinquish their illustrator occupations to carve fantastical pumpkins full-time to become the Maniac Pumpkin Carvers. (AP Photo/Maniac Pumpkin Carvers, Marc Evan)
A handful of people become professional pumpkin carvers each fall, specializing in fantastical designs. Among them are Alex Wer, self-styled "Pumpkin Geek," who lives near Sacramento, Calif.; Scott Cummins, a Perryton, Texas, middle-school art teacher; and Marc Evan and Chris Soria, the Maniac Pumpkin Carvers of New York City.
Wer does his carving between insurance sales and an evening package-delivery route. He works with the fake, foam pumpkins sold at craft stores, so his intricate work has longevity. Evan and Soria drop their jobs as illustrators for a few months to carve pumpkins for festivals, parties and individual clients. The long hours leave the two childhood friends battling sore wrists and aching backs by late November.
"It's a labor of love," says Evan, who also carves pumpkins on the Food Network's "Halloween Wars" this season. "Pumpkin carving is definitely not the easiest way to make money. It's not a `get rich quick' scheme."
For inspiration, scroll through these carvers' websites — The Pumpkin Geek, Pumpkin Gutter, Maniac Pumpkin Carvers. Or check out the creepy, three-dimensional portraits at Villafane Studios.
Here are some of their tips of the trade:
Choose Your Pumpkin Wisely
"You want to have a stem, and you want it to be a healthy stem because that stem is still providing nutrients for the pumpkin," says Soria.
Don't cut into your pumpkin around that perfect stem. Instead, access the pumpkin from its backside to help preserve freshness. Cutting out a stem cap weakens the Jack-o'-lantern, says Evan. And hiding the opening in the back gives the pumpkin more visual punch.
"It's aesthetically more pleasing seeing the glow from (only) the design, not creeping out from where we might have cut the hole at the top," says Evan.
Preparing Your Pumpkin
Before carving a face, scrape and clean the inside of the pumpkin. The cleaner you get it, the longer it will last.
"I always tell people, `Gut it out twice as much as you think you need to,"' says Wer. "It should be very dry inside."
The Carve
Folks, there are two kinds of pumpkin carve: the lighted Jack-o'-lantern face and the three-dimensional sculpture, in which a pumpkin is treated like a block of wood - only stinky and less permanent. The Maniac team carves both styles. Cummins carves in creepy 3-D. The tools are the same, but they're used in different ways.
Take either carve up a notch by adding depth and texture. Wer carves up to five layers in his faux pumpkins to get a mix of light and shadow for a photorealistic quality.
Learn this skill, called shading, by scraping part of your design into the gourd.
"It just creates this new layer and this multi-level depth," says Wer.
Need more help? Visit pumpkin-carving tutorials, such as those posted by The Pumpkin Lady, on YouTube.
More About Tools
The Maniac team favors tools from the kitchen or garage, primarily paring knives, graters and saws. They tout linoleum cutters and sculpting tools.
Linoleum cutters have several gouge tips. Evan likes the V-gouge for making precise cuts, whether shallow or deep. Ceramists' sculpting tools are metal loops on a stick - in various shapes and sizes - that can be purchased at art supply and craft stores. They slice smoothly through pumpkin rind.
Those cheap pumpkin-carving kits? All four of our expert carvers love them.
The Maniac team uses the orange plastic scoop to clean out hundreds of pumpkins — fast. Cummins uses the scoop too, and praises the kit's flimsy, serrated blade.
"Don't underestimate that little saw," Cummins says. "Sometimes there is a need to cut slowly and deliberately, and that is when the little saw is indispensable."
Once a pumpkin is carved, it begins to deteriorate.
"You will certainly notice a difference in 24 hours," says Cummins in his online tutorial.
Says Evan: "You can't preserve a pumpkin. We recommend `delay' tactics."
Those include:
l When a Jack-o'-lantern is not on display, Wer says, give it a bath. He has had as many as eight pumpkins bobbing overnight in his bathtub.
l Preserve cut edges with a lemon juice-water mixture, says the Maniac team, then seal them with vegetable oil or petroleum jelly. Store your carving in the refrigerator or wrap it in plastic wrap and store in a cool place.
l And quick, take a photo. It's the "best and most essential way to preserve your creation," says Cummins.

Which Antique Fan Is Best For You?
Antiques represent timelessness, class and style in today's society. Each piece is considered a work of art that has been painstakingly designed and crafted. Eighteenth and nineteenth century designs are the inspirations for the elaborate detailing on these antique ceiling fans. Antique fans are sold in a variety of styles, sizes, shapes, and finishes. Try an Emerson fan in antique white or black finishes for rooms with neutrals. Though these fixtures pair well with anything, they work best in rooms containing other vintage pieces of furniture and artwork. Below are some of our most popular antique ceiling fans.
Monticello by Quorum. This vintage fixture comes in a variety of finished, including toasted sienna, satin nickel, antique white, studio white, oiled bronze, Corsican gold, antique silver or old world. It features a standard downrod, three speed pull chain and 153mm x 16mm motor.
Mia by Craftmade. This ceiling fan features five custom carved blades finished in classic ebony, cherry, dark coffee, dark oak or antique white. The unique shape of the blades and lighting fixture makes this an early nineteenth century inspired work of art.
Industrial by Monte Carlo. This fan includes five roman bronze or rustic bronze blades with 15 degree pitch, a 188 mm x 15mm motor, and integrated downlight with a frosted glass bulb. This is a beautiful antique fan for any home.

I am wondering if there is a product review site specifically for apple products?
Do you mean reviews of Apple-produced (and only Apple-produced) hardware and software? Or reviews of software and accessories by anyone for Macs, iPods, iPhones, iPads, etc.?
If the latter, there's always Macworld's review section.
If the former, you could combine the RSS feeds for Macworld's Mac reviews + iPod review + iPhone reviews + iPad reviews, I guess.
For Apple's mobile products, http://www.ilounge.com/ is quite good.
As far as software goes, MacUpdate is pretty good. They have lots of user reviews, and the ability for users to suggest similar software is awesome. I've found many a free alternative to a poorly reviewed commercial app that way.
As a side note, alternativeTo is another great way to find alternates.
There's always ArsTechnica. Yes, they do review other stuff besides just Apple stuff, but I fail to see how that should disqualify them, especially given the quality and depth of the reviews. And with a couple of clicks, you can specify Apple reviews:

In the last few years, "the core" has become a buzzword in the exercise and fitness community. According to MossRehab's Sports & Spine Rehabilitation specialist Jeff North, MD, our core is literally our core, or the center of our body and the central portion of our movements.
All of our body's motions and force production involve a properly functioning core. Our core is not just our abdominals. It includes the thoracic and lumbar spine, abdominal muscles, back muscles, pelvic and hip girdle muscles (especially the gluteals) and the thigh muscles.
Core exercises should be a key component of any training program – especially a distance running program.
A correctly functioning core will yield proper biomechanics and force production, allowing:
A weak core will yield dysfunctional biomechanics, and leads to increased strain elsewhere, contributing to:
These compensatory movement patterns will lead to overuse injuries and have been linked to various disorders common to runners, including:
A core strengthening program should progress initially from "open-chain" (i.e. non-weight bearing) exercises toward "closed-chain" (weight bearing) exercises. The goal is to stimulate and train the muscles to function in a manner and position that they would normally be stressed.
In running, our bodies are erect, with weight bearing and landing on our legs, so the strengthening exercises should reproduce these positions and movement patterns. The exercises should also incorporate all planes of movement of the body to allow ideal muscle stimulation and development.
Some examples of core strengthening exercises for runners include:
Initial Phase
Closed-Chain and More Advanced
Advanced and Sport Specific
Proper mechanics is the key to injury prevention as well as improved athletic performance. Focus on good mechanics and consider consulting a personal trainer, physical therapist or other medical specialist to assist you with your exercise and strength program and progression.

Any ideas?

I am a student in high school who has wanted to become a computer programmer since elementary school. There are not very many places that teach programming to people my age around where I live, so I am entirely self-taught using resources on the internet such as the MSDN.
I have learned and become decent in QBASIC (which I know is very old, even when I learned it), C, C++, C# and have dipped my toes into Java. I get the basic idea behind OOP.
I'm planning on going to college and getting a degree in computer sciences, and maybe computer engineering and electrical engineering while I'm at it, because the curriculums are supposedly extremely similar, according to a man I briefly met and talked to from a college.
What should I know about computing/programming before going to college? Should I already know a whole lot, know a language or two proficiently, and have fairly high programming/computing skills, or do classes basically start from scratch?
