This is a thread for feedback on today's blog, which is now LIVE here - http://community.sigames.com/showthr...actics-(Video)
Looks very snazzy and the custom shouts sounds like a much easier way to use Multiple Shouts at the same time. The tactic interface looks much cleaner as well- good job
Custom shouts looks excellent!
Also, being able to set instructions for players and not having to worry about changing them as you change tactics looks decent too!
Interface actually looks polished this year.
Custom Shouts - yes, much needed.
The rest is just changes to the interface, making it easier to do what you could already do in FM11. I didn't see anything NEW tactics-wise.
Did I read/view it correctly and see that you can save settings to individual players as well as formations? I.e. I have two AML, one left footed, one right footed - I can save the cut inside option for the right-footed one, and hug touchline for the left and the tactics update depending on who I pick?
But yes, the custom shouts looks like the simple addition that can really make a difference.
As long as there is some way to force a player to stop shooting from a billion yards out even though his tactics tell him to never ever ever do it, then I'm happy.
custom shouts are wonderful!
Brilliant once again, great new features I can't wait to use.
Not sure about the new font on the layout! Looks a lot different, a bit more like Championship Manager. Guess I'll get used to it eventually.
The interface looks fantastic, well done SI!
Looks brilliant, can't wait for this. A shame SFraser's not around to use that tactics screen, I think he might have exploded in joy
disappointed that were still unable to cancel subsitutions, for example your 1-0 up and decide to bring to bring on a extra defender but then just before the sub comes on they make it 1-1 well now I dont want to make that change, happens all the time in real life manager about to make a sub a goal goes in he changes his mind
Storing player settings, gotta be good.
EDIT: Not what I had hoped it would be.

So does this mean that when I instruct players to switch position during a game, I don't have to change their individual instruction? For example, I have a target man on the left and poacher on the right, both with instruction to switch with each other. When they switch, will the left side player be the poacher and the right side player be the target man?
custom shouts... awesome!
While I love the look and the changes that have been made...
for me, the single most important thing that made me fist-pump with delight was...
the ability to ask your assistant/coach to only pick player's for free slots!!! About time... it's annoyed me that this option hasn't been available before, tbh..
I'm proper looking forward to 21st October
New interface looks promising, looking forward to trying it out in practice. I'm probably most pleased with custom shouts; I like the simple in-game dynamism shouts offer and that mechanic is now less limited.
Aren't they just 'groups of existing shouts' rather than 'custom shouts?'
and so..still not tactics with and without ball possession..i think it's absurd,talking about realism,the fact you can't set your defensive tactic..
I would love to have an updated wibble/wobble, I get really frustrated when my attacking players do not chase back stop once they get inside our own half just or just stand by while they watch my central midfielders & defenders get overrun all because their primary role does not have a defensive instruction set.
I do like the look of the new interface but I would prefer it if SI used the dark skin in the videio clips because the white one hurts my eyes.
Looks awesome. Can't wait.
Custom Shouts
Do whatever you want in this game : I like this ! keep it up
Will the advanced instructions remain in fm12 ( the famous bar line to adjus ? )
Nothing too new tbh, most of the 'features' spoken about were already present in previous iterations and have just been given a lick of paint. Liking the look of the custom shouts but pretty disappointed that a proper set-piece creator hasn't been included yet.
will the match preparation have more options ( examples : physical work, one touch ball, triangle passes etc... ? )
I did not see in the video blog .
Custom Shouts and stored player instructions - brill!
Just features from last year made more compact and with a lick of paint.
Nice. With this 2nd blog we realise that these are improvements for advanced players. Just as for scouting oppoment teams, where i was thinking a lot while managing this season and now its possible to do, ..the custom shouts are an awesome improvement for someone like me who has mastered the shouts in FM2011. All new players start from buying the correct players,use the best tactics,develop young players, move to squad management, reqruitment and so on. In FM2012 it will be easer and faster to use all you have mastered as a virtual manager. /Well done for the changes to the interface
It looks very nice..
But i have some wondering about something you (Miles) wrote yesterday. You wrote that you will bring something at bold.dk, is that gonna hapend?
Just interface improvements.
Nothing new except some shouts (run at defense etc).
When at the end I can oder Pirlo to pass to foot for Del Piero and to head for Toni?
Or order my forward to dribble against defender X, but never try this against defender Y?
It would be great if those injury warnings included some extra info from your staff, for example, if they think you should keep a certain player on the field or not. That's not exactly new is it? You could already see if someone had picked up an injury either from the 3d view or the players screen.
You obviously didn't watch the video.
there are other things - like giving a player a Tactical role, something you couldn't do before. So now if you bring on an Attacking midfielder to replace the defensive midfielder he'll automatically be set to attack rather than defend.
If you don't understand that as a major change then you missed the whole point of the video.
And what's wrong with interface changes? They actually make the game more efficient for playing and utilising all your tactical options from a single screen. It maybe a cosmetic change but it makes it a lot more efficient
Your thumbsdown icon is rejected.
Is that a new camera angle right end of the video
There are new camera angles
3D Match Improvements – new animations, a whole new crowd system, improved weather system, more stadiums, plus two brand new cameras - "Behind Goal" and "Director Cam" as well as all other camera angles being reversible - meaning you can watch and analyse every aspect of every game.
I've watched.You obviously didn't watch the video.
When I make quick substitution I can choose role for coming player. Can't see what's cool in this.there are other things - like giving a player a Tactical role, something you couldn't do before. So now if you bring on an Attacking midfielder to replace the defensive midfielder he'll automatically be set to attack rather than defend.
If you don't understand that as a major change then you missed the whole point of the video.
Btw, I don't agree with your explanation of this feature. I understand this as I can store player instructions for 3 tactics for first 11. Nothing about subs or players outside of the squad. Just store what I have three 4-4-2's - one with attacking wingers, one with support, one with defensive, for example. Just roles and instruction for every position in each of 3 tactic.
It's ok but not the main thing I wait from new game ;-)And what's wrong with interface changes? They actually make the game more efficient for playing and utilising all your tactical options from a single screen. It maybe a cosmetic change but it makes it a lot more efficient
:oYour thumbsdown icon is rejected.
where is the blog on tactics?? this should be called the new interface blog.there is nothing about tactics in that video.
Allesandro - you don't understand the additional features in the tactics.
Hell of a good job.
With the custom shouts, am i right that you type in your own shouts? Can you only type certain set words; how many words can the game understand, has it swallowed a dictionary? Or have i misunderstood?
The addition to assign a player a role is a change. Before you had to set the position in the formation and dedicate a role to that position. So putting a DM in the DM slot. If you subbed the DM for a AM you had to fiddle around with the DM role to get it to the AM role. Now if you have Miguel Velosso in the DM role and you sub him for Steven Gerrard, it will use the role you predefined in Steven Gerrards settings and not the DM role defined in the formation.
And the addition of building your own "Shouts" is also new.
How hard is that to understand?
No it's not all that changed. You could NEVER assign a ROLE to a player before. EVER. It was a sought after feature for the last 2 years. It is now added.
You said
And they didn't really get into what's under the hood in the 4 minute preview video. They did show some nice new touches they added. But they didn't exactly go into detail.There aren't any. You could do every single thing in that video in FM11 - it only took a few additional mouse clicks. Not that I don't approve the changes or anything, the interface looks much more professional and well layed out. But the tactics system seems to have remained exactly the same under the hood, which is a shame since it is such an important part of the game and it certainly could do with a few improvements.
Until they do, you cannot say they didn't change anything under the hood.
"Create your own shouts" I was very excited about, then I realised it was simply a quick way to combine the shouts already present.
It is a great idea, but we should be able to create OUR OWN shouts from the beginning, not just use the preset ones.
All in all, the amount of clicking looks far reduced and that is great too.
I give up.
Will classic tactics still exist?
The option to 'customise shouts' only allows you to 'customise groups of already existing shouts' and name those groups as you like.

Love the new interface changes, looks nice and it seems like they will be a lot less clicking and be much more efficient
I like the ability to create custom shouts too, and if i understood it right, the ability to set each player with a preffered role and settings.
nice to see hes using west ham lol
looks very nice cant wait
whens the demo :P
A few neat time-saving features here, nothing revolutionary, but the groups of shouts will save a lot of time and stop me making mistakes.
I like it! New interface looks clean and user friendly, much improved. The things touched on in the video blog aren't ground-breaking but they seem useful and a good addition.
I do wonder why the player's injury still isn't specified when he picks it up in game. If a goalkeeper has a bruised head, he can play on. If a striker has a sprained wrist, he can play on. But if someone's pulled their hammy I want to know it's a leg injury and bring him off. In FM11 it only says he has a green-cross knock, and it would appear it flashes up in-game on FM12, but still only notifying you he 'has a knock'. Even if it didn't specify the injury exactly, but narrowed it to a category - head, knee, foot - it would make it easier to decide if he should come off or not.
Maybe this is on the cards, I don't know, I'm guessing everything will be explained in a lot more detail soon. I would say first impressions for tactics blog - 7/10. Good improvements, but don't seem to go far enough.
I am looking forward to this year FM like no other might be the first one I buy on release date normaly wait until the last patch.
I still can't believe how many people are still on about the changing of individual shouts to make custom ones. The shouts do what they say, the only thing you could customise is the name. 'Pass To Feet' is what is says how can it be changed differently. The grouping of shouts is far better and can be customised to suit a different type of play so if your slow, short passing, patient work the ball into box isn't being effect effective then instead of pressing, Get the ball forward, pass to space etc. one by one, you can group it under one shout making it much more fluid which is always a good thing in my book.
I would like to have a possibility to prepare some options just before the match gets started. For example, if my team concedes a goal, the tactics changes the way I set before the game (e.g. to more attacking-minded). Or if I score a goal, my team tries to waste time automatically. Sorry for my English, hope you understand me
And by the way - when is the next blog coming out?

It's the same thing as FM 11 except it's been re-skinned or had it's position in the UI shifted.
Match preparation was moved from training to main tactics. No actual change.
Philosophy and Strategy again, moved from the advanced screen to the main screen. No actual change.
Changing role and mentality. You could do this already by using the right click on the mouse. No actual change except it's now a specific box. (Probably got feedback people had no idea it existed) on the tactic screen.
Team instructions. Has been split into a specific page. Before you had to click between team and player instructions. No actual change. At 2:02 in the video you can see that all they've done is change what used to be drop-down boxes in the tactics menu (team instructions, player instructions, set pieces, penalties, captains) and split them into their own specific pages. Useful change in the UI, but with no actual change to the game itself.
Player instructions already saved when you switch tactics, as long as you saved before you switched back and forth. No change. Unless they have added the ability to save a instructions for each player even if your formation changes. But I don't think that's what is actually happening.
Shouts is just grouping the exact same shouts as from FM11, and giving the user what they should have been given in the past, information on what the shout actually does.
Minor injury. Another UI change.. if you don't play in 3d, it's pointless.
So basically one actual change in-game (the minor injury screen), and the rest are just UI tweaks. And the physio still won't give you any information about what the actual injury is during the match.
Sure, a better UI is welcome as is grouped shouts, but this is essentially shuffling the deck. There's no actual change to the tactics engine itself from these videos.
The only new features in this video aren't actually mentioned.
There's two new menus in the main squad screen: Team Meeting and Team Policy
edit - This sounds negative, but I'm just pointing out what we've been given. I'm looking forward to seeing improvements in the financial, media, board interaction and club infrastructure areas more than tactics.
Last edited by davidbowie; 13-09-2011 at 17:24.
While i like the new layout and options i do think the tactics board could do with a revamp.
Example being i want my 2nd striker to play just off the front man but not in the AM position. Most know that its typically the DLF on support option, but it would be great if it actually showed that his position is just off the front man but not deep enough to be called an AM.
Same thing with other positions. Show the slight position changes on the tactics board so that people can see the difference some options make and so that the tactics screen doesnt seem so rigid and flat (thats how i see the FM tactics screen now) compared to things like the lineups on http://www.zonalmarking.net/.
Siven, you can tweak the position using mentality, i.e a forward with a lower mentality will play deeper than one with a higher mentality, the downside though is that the mentality also affects the players behaviour on the ball and how conservative or other wise they are in possession.
I agree you should have free reign as to where you you place a player within a set boundary like the fifa tactics screen where you can move the cf about but if you put him too deep he becomes an amc etc
so if you have a flat 442 and a CM that is attacking, if you then play a defensive 442, that CM turns into a defensive player, regardless of who that player is (position specific). Rather than you being able to save the tactics against the player.
could be wrong though.
I just watched it again to make sure and it does look like it only sets the player role per tactic. Not per player has such. So if you were playing 4-2-3-1 DM and decided to change to 4-2-3-1 CM then the roles will automatically change but not if you bring on a AM for a DM in a flat 4-4-2 for instance you would have to change the players role manually.
Thats how I took it, but hey we'll know for definate soon
2 - That's doable now by changing the width instructions on the player screens. Not ideal but most teams have a main width they play to and then this is changed in-game by the players/roles the manager uses. There's no real team who play with two distinct differences of width between defence and attack.
What you really have to do is know your players and their strengths and weaknesses because has we know not every AMC is alike some can take long shots some can't. So before each game you will have to look at your 15 players and decided that I will start with these players playing this tactic, if you have to bring on a more attacking midfielder and you'll need to change the style of play to fit him in. SO when you go into the match you will have you Starting tactic and one or two for the changes in style of play. (So when you bring him on you change the tactics aswell). So all the main instruction work is done before the match starts. I think the problem is that there are only 3 set tactics because on my FM11 save I have about 10 I can choose from, with regards to different players playing in the same position i.e Ashley Young and Stewert Downing both AMLs but different settings. (I know I wont have that problem in FM12, money grabbers lol only joking).
Disappointed with the fact they dint mention any improvements on the set piece creator
It would be good if this information could be added to the assistant manager's feedback to make it more obvious and accessible during the match.
cooooool !!!!!!!
i can't wait for the next blog which is after 30 min or less
where's the next blog
Everybody Are Sleeping
Can we please have less bling bling features and more substance (for tactics) in FM13?
No change to tactics other than a prettier interface then.
There are four new shouts, which nobody seems to have picked up on:
1: Play Ball out of Defence
2: Run at Defence
3: Play through Defence
4: Hit Early Crosses
Contrary to blog about scouting, nothing new, improvements in the interface that should already be included when Tatical creator came......
Last edited by juvito2k; 14-09-2011 at 02:16.
WOW - just simply - WOW - love the new Scouting Features - but these new Tactics features are EXACTLY what has been needed and are such a fantastic addition - making the game easier to use (not neccessarily easier to play - we dont neccessarily want that - just easier to use)...2012 is looking like it will be simply awesome!
0:29 into the blog the drop down menu has 'Team Meeting' and 'Team Policy' as options. These are additions to last years iteration.
Release date only about a month away then!
The new scouting stuff sounds excellent. A rehaul of scouting reports has been badly need for a long, long time!
The create your own shouts sounds really good. Again, I'm really pleased that they are working on something that I consider to be one of the most important parts of the game. I was annoyed that they stalled on doing more with the TC last year.

I suggest you look into the "guest" payment option..
I just spoke with Paypal about this (Jim)4/4/14, and he said they do have a proposal for that, that they will be voting on, where you could use a nickname or some such thing to anonymize donations or payments.
He said if I added my request for it, it would pump up the proposal's chances of succeeding. So anyone with a paypal account, please give them a call and request it if you want to see them eventually do that.

I understand attempting to maximize efficiency, and the sheer number of times you serve the logo is pretty huge, but if the dimensions of the CSS are the same between the sites, why not try to make the logos the same dimensions as well?
All that really needs to be done is pad Server Fault's logo 13 pixels at the top, and 1 pixel at the top of Super User's logo. I suspect that the size difference would be almost unnoticeable increasing Super User's logo size, and only somewhat noticeable by increasing Server Fault's.
So, my question is this: Is there any real reason not to make the logos between the sites all a uniform size?

About the Show
Life is all about balance. So what happens when you throw a new baby into it?
Reagan (Christina Applegate) and her husband, Chris (Will Arnett), are the proud new parents of baby Amy. She may have been unexpected, but life's curve balls can be a godsend, literally. Unless you have a career that needs attention, which is exactly what Reagan has. So, bucking tradition, they decide Reagan's the one going back to work while Chris is going to be the stay-at-home dad. Easy, right? Well, not quite.
Back at work at her high-pressure job, Reagan immediately feels the push and pull of motherhood and career while her self-involved co-worker, Ava (Maya Rudolph), can't believe her best friend now has a baby (nor can she even remember if it's a boy or girl!) Then her Facebook-generation assistant reminds Reagan of the free-wheeling lifestyle she and Chris once had. She also remembers that no matter how rowdy the partying once was, she always managed to get home, something that makes her very proud.
Determined to prove that she and Chris still have a hot love life, and that she can be the perfect wife, mother, and career woman, Reagan spins a little out of control. But she eventually realizes that Amy is her new number one priority and somehow everything (except maybe Chris) is going to take a backseat to their new bundle of joy.
Written by Saturday Night Live's Emily Spivey, executive produced by Lorne Michaels, and directed by James Griffiths (Episodes), Reagan and Chris are about to find out whether it's really possible to have it all.

We have an application user which has been given read write to the appropriate databases. This user has the ability to query the sys tables by default. I've also heard that there are times when this user needs to be able to obtain a listing of tables and columns that exist in the database. Are there any security risks to having the user have read access to the sys tables?
Database Administrators Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for database professionals who wish to improve their database skills and learn from others in the community. Join them; it only takes a minute:

All users have access to sys tables. Giving read access on the database is orthogonal to accessing the sys tables. System catalogs (ie. sys views and tables) have built in security and you cannot grant, deny or revoke read permissions on them. The visibility of entities in system catalogs derives from the permissions granted on the entity itself, not on the system catalog. To give an example, an user can see a row in sys.tables because it has VIEW DEFINITION permission on that table.
This is laso explained in the MSDN:

|a fine view
|I will always remember the day I hiked up to Leavitt's summit. It was when I lived in Auburn and was doing a lot of exploring in the region. The view to the south of the Emigrant Wilderness and Northern Yosemite was superb. I remember it being one of the most inspirational vistas I had ever seen. I live now in Wyoming for 15 years, but I still remember that view as something else. There were so many beautiful summits to gaze at, I could barely leave the summit. I remember it as a chilly clear day in the fall, and I drove back to Auburn a very happy hiker. I hope to return again. I always dreamed of Tower Peak after seeing it that day.

Google translate translates "好高骛远" into ambitious. I was wondering if you agree with that? I don't think ambitious carries the meaning of lacking capability.

From Bai Du Zhi Dao:
好高骛远 (Hào gāo wù yuǎn) means:
To break down the phrase: 好高骛远
好 (Hào- 4th tone = likes/wants), so... 好高 (Hào gāo): likes/wants (things that are) high
骛 (wù): Greedy
远 (yuǎn): Far, Distant (So, 骛远 = over ambitious/over greedy)
To break that guy's response down:
不切实际 (bù qiè shíjì): Phrase to indicate impracticality of something
地 (dì): usually means "ground"... but here it follows an adverb. For example, 他慢慢地走过去 (he slowly walked over there). So, 慢慢 would be modifying the verb 追求 (zhuī qiú), so you use 地 (dì) between the adverb and the verb。 Like he "impractically pursued x": 他不切实际*地*追求x
追求 (zhuī qiú): to pursue something stubbornly.
过高过远 (guò gāo guò yuǎn): 过 just means "pass over, too much, pass": so 过高 and 过远 just means too high and too far.
目标 (mùbiāo): Goal
I think, 好高骛远 means: reach for what is beyond one's grasp
Here is some example translate:
I'm not prone to extravagant fancies.
A high flier may have an impossible hope for the future.
Hew not too high lest the chips fall in thine eye.
People should be down-to-earth, instead of being over-ambitious.
Tom has taken five courses this semester, including French. I think he is bitting offchew. 汤姆这个学期选修了五门课, 还包括法语, 我想他是有些好高骛远了.
==== I think "over-ambitious" will do the trick. Google is kinda right.
"好" has two pronunciation.
好(hǎo) is an adjective or an adverb, which means "good", "well", "queit" or "very".
好(hào) is a verb, which means "like to do something".
好高 should be read as "hào gāo", so it means "like to be high" literally, similar to "aim high" in English, but in a derogatory way.
骛(wù) stands for "seek" or "look for".
远 stands for "far away".
鹜远 stands for "seek something far away" ("far away" means that it is impossible, so the unspoken word is that it is stupid to aim so high )
好高骛远 is a derogatory idiom, which means "ambitious in an arrogant way".

Opportunities being denied to minorities
After the many insurrections in our nation's inner cities in the late 1960s, Congress amended Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. As the bulk of redevelopment funds for revitalization were channeled through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the change was intended in part to ensure that funds committed to a municipality would give preference to its residents for jobs and associated business opportunities.
Last June, the Waterbury Opportunities Industrialization Center Inc. (WOIC) convened an economic summit to highlight job opportunities in the city. One young man, who described himself as a former thug, related how he started a business but cannot get a contract for his services. A well-credentialed security company went to a city department and was told there would be no need for its services, yet a contract for security went to an out-of-town company.

Lubin's Assistant Dean Barbara Rose Aglietti welcomed the audience.
Barry Salzberg engaged the audience with his talk on "Gravity in a Weightless World."
|"There are four distinct forces of gravity: 1) leadership - setting the tone at the top; 2) ethical gravity - common understanding of values and behavior; 3) personal gravity - don't pass the buck; 4) generational gravity - need four generations of employees operating as a team."
- Barry Salzberg
|"Maintaining organizational gravity in an increasingly free and virtual world....maintaining trust and gravity, is an organization's greatest challenge."
- Barry Salzberg
|"Three percent of US employees work at home or have that option....we need to make sure 'home based' doesn't become 'home alone.'"
- Barry Salzberg

What a great way to start Vegan MoFo: with my very first vegan convert. I got a wonderful email from Reni at Vegan Me that my blog and my post on Peta's "Meet Your Meat" pushed her to a vegan lifestyle. Woot, woot! You can read all about it in her own words here.

Congrats! (and congrats to you too, Reni!) Now, Vegan Dad, I'm sure the Vegan Police will send you your free toaster for converting someone! ha ha Seriously, I had students in my "human-animal relationships" course watch Meet your Meat last week, and at least two of them said they hadn't eaten meat since. It's a great resource.

Way to go!! I agreed with everything your convert said.
I've lost over ten pounds so far and counting; I have to go for a blood test soon and will know if my levels have gone down since I changed my eating habits (probably so).
I think more people should try veganism!!!

Shucks, I feel like a superstar! I'm such a vegan newbie though...when Vegan Dad said I was going to be his first post for MOFO, I wondered if I had angered him somehow. :) Now I know what the MOFO is all about.
Vegan Dad's recipes just plain rock! And I have to admit I check his blog daily for the newest dish.

I'm considering buying a flash for my Canon DSLR. I noticed the 600EX recently came out. What are the pros and cons of the new 600 flash versus the other two mentioned in the title?
Price vs Radio wireless, I have a 600EX-RT and I love it. The wireless radio is the big upgrade. It should support far more complex wireless flash operation, though currently it only works with more of the 600EX-RT flash units. (Presumably there will be more devices in the RT line down the road.)
I don't know if the flash bulb moves to adjust the guide number in the 430EX or not, but I believe it does in the 580EX. I know it does in the 600EX-RT which is a pretty nice feature. The menu system on the 600EX-RT is also very nice and will work very easily through the camera's menu system as well on newer cameras.
So main pros for the 600EX-RT that I notice are the newer design (backlit LCD screen with easy to use controls), wireless radio sync (no line of sight limitation/longer range/more control) and cons are higher price.
If you plan on taking advantage of the radio wireless TTL capabilities of the 600EX-RT, either now or in the future, you will either need another 600EX-RT or the ST-E3-RT to use as a transmitter. Some third party wireless triggers, such as those offered by Pocket Wizard, will also allow wireless TTL operation of Canon flashes including all three that you mentioned in your question. Each option adds considerable expense to the price of a single 600EX-RT.
If you plan on using the flash mounted on camera or connected by a hot shoe cable the 580EX-II or the 430EX-II offer more bang for the buck. The biggest difference between the 580EX-II and 430EX-II is the maximum flash power for each unit. The respective guide numbers for the 600EX-RT, 580EX-II, and 430EX-II in feet @ ISO 100 are 197, 190, and 141.

Kimora Fired From Baby Phat For Racking Up Retouching Costs
- "Sources" are saying that Kimora Lee Simmons didn't leave Baby Phat, the fashion line she founded — she was fired. Allegedly, she was kicked out for being too spendthrift. For example: "It costs thousands of dollars to airbrush her."

Your mom was wrong, and so was mine for the record.
If I had a dollar for every time mom told me that I needed to put a coat on or else I'll catch a cold I would be filthy rich. I could buy a hundred coats and a first class plane ticket to Hawaii.
The truth is, and I know this may seem shocking to you since this message has been engrained into our heads our entire life, but you cannot catch a cold by being cold.
Walk around all you want without a jacket when it's 10 degrees outside. You undoubtedly will get cold, but you won't catch a cold.
If your child walks around with shorts on in December, they won't catch a cold…they'll just have cold legs.
Get this, you can walk outside in winter with wet hair and not get sick, either. You'll have a really cold head and icy hair…but, again, you won't catch a cold.
Colds are caused by viruses. You can pick up a virus from a door handle, elevator button, shaking someone's hand, etc, but not from being cold.
Again, I know it's hard to accept for some of you, especially those who are mothers, but you can't catch a cold just by being cold.
But please, by all means, don't stop wearing a coat just because it's not the virus protecting armor your mother says it is. Coats are good; they just don't keep you from catching colds. For that, I suggest washing your hands regularly and, like me, carry around one of those little bottles of hand sanitizer in your pocket this time of year.

For other algorithms (like support vector machines), it is recommended that input attributes are scaled in some way (for example put everything on a [0,1] scale). I have googled extensively and can't find any information on whether this needs to be done for boosting methods, and in particular gradient tree boosting.
No. It is not required. It is only a heuristic [1]. It is primarily motivated because of the following:
For class prediction (vs. class discovery), I always transform (remove scale effects) for input features. Metrics for features with larger scale (range) can swamp metrics of features with smaller scale. Depending on your method (there are numerous boosting approaches), you might also consider decorrelating features. A golden rule regarding correlated features, at least with artificial neural networks, is that during connection weight learning time will be spent on figuring out the correlation -- herein lies the reason why many use linear dimensional reduction (e.g., PCA) prior to clamping objects to the input network nodes.
Overall, you should probably do both (with and without). And recall, there are choices for scaling: (a) you can remove skewness (fat-tails), (b) mean-zero standardize, and (c) normalize in range [0,1], (d) determine direction cosines of the input features so feature values are within a unit circle.
Last, never use a single classifier unless you need to. If possible, use an ensemble of classifiers so that one classifier can pick up on problematic objects when another breaks down. The No Free Lunch theorem states that in the universe of all cost functions, no one classifier is better than another - so never assume you have the best solution when using a single classifier. The Ugly Ducking theorem states that no one set of features is better than another -- so never assume your selected feature set is the best.

The Grand Junction Tigers showed the Durango High School boys basketball team what an inbounds pass looked like Saturday.
The Demons took note.
DHS turned the ball over on three consecutive inbounds attempts in the final minute of play, and Grand Junction scored a layup on a demonstrative inbounds pass of its own to leapfrog the Demons 35-34 with less than 2 seconds to play for their first and final lead of the game.
The end result snatched away Durango�s hopes of a Southwestern League championship in front of a silent home crowd at DHS.
�That�s about the worst it gets, in any sport,� DHS head coach Alan Batiste said.
With about 1 minute, 30 seconds remaining, Nick Hamlin�s layup-and-one stymied the Tigers� fourth-quarter comeback attempt at 32-28 before Willy Frownfelter�s two free throws seemed to put the game back under the Demons� control after they�d led by as many as 11 in the second half.
But D.J. Wells made a layup to close the gap to four points, and Durango threw the subsequent inbounds pass out of bounds for the turnover.
No need to panic, yet.
Wells pulled his layup trick again, this time drawing a foul, too, for the extra free throw to cut Durango�s lead to one with less than 15 seconds to play.
Another Durango inbounds pass; another turnover.
Panic beckons.
�We just couldn�t seem to get the ball in,� said guard Ty Elliott, son of Ahne and Russ Elliott.
Then, who else but the 6-7 Wells in the paint?
But Wells barrelled into the Demons� defenders for a charge instead of burying into the basket, and the Demons got inbounds attempt No. 3: one more shot for one actual possession with a win and a share of the SWL title.
�That�s all we needed was that possession,� Batiste said.
They didn�t get it. From the baseline to the sideline, out of bounds, again.
Panic�s embrace.
�I�ll give them credit; they got after it,� DHS post Nick Hamlin, son of Thomas and Victoria Hamlin, said of Grand Junction�s sticky final-seconds defense. �But when it comes down to it, it was our fault. We weren�t all five going like we were the rest of the game, and that�s the moment you need all five guys.�
The Tigers only needed two.
With 2.8 seconds remaining, Grand Junction�s Greg Eccher saw Zach Kiel break open underneath the basket.
�I knew Zach could jump, and I just threw it,� Eccher said. �Instinct, I guess.�
The crowd had just enough time to hear the �thunk� of the backboard and the �swoosh� of the net before the �braaaa� of the buzzer.
A lesson on Inbounds 101.
�I had a (heck) of a pass, and I knew what I had to do,� Kiel said.
Up to that point, the Demons had taken the Tigers out of their typical game plan with the staunch defense that�s been Durango�s best weapon all season long.
At times, it unbalanced Grand Junction�s robust offense and left them taking poorly selected shots.
Wells, who had a double-double when the Tigers routed Durango 57-38 in Grand Junction in January, edged into double-digit scoring with 10 to lead his team but was held in check most of the game. He scored all of his points in the second half.
�That�s our staple, is our defense,� Batiste said. �We play hard on defense.�
Durango answered by finding gaps down low, using Hamlin and Trent Andrews to go up hard in the paint. Hamlin finished with 12 points and Andrews with six to lead Durango to then a 19-11 gap at halftime.
When Durango�s inside-out attack kept working to start the second half, the Demons rolled into a double-digit lead before heading into the fourth quarter up 29-21.
When it didn�t, Durango relied on Elliott (seven points) and Frownfelter (six points) to hit shots from the elbows, which dropped just frequently enough to keep a lead until the final seconds.
�We left the door open for them,� Batiste said.
Although it has two games remaining, Grand Junction locked up the SWL title with the win and a 7-1 record.
Class 4A DHS (14-5, 7-3 SWL) will head to the 4A Western Slope district tournament likely as the No. 1 seed. (Grand Junction is Class 5A.) The tournament, which will take place next weekend in Grand Junction, will determine seeding for the state tournament. Game times have yet to be determined.

I'm 20 and interning in Germany with only a 20 minute plane ride from amsterdam to my "house". I am here alone and due to where i work, don't intend on making many pot smoking friends. I want to visit amsterdam while in Germany cause its cheaper to get there. I was thinking about finding a youth hostel near a coffee shop and just sitting there for the next two days blazin alone. Is this safe? Would it be safer to get a hotel? i don't want to go to the Red light district and look for any women. i'm there only to smoke and maybe go to the museums. As a 20 year old American is this safe for me to do? any recommendations for me?
Thanks in advance

POTEAU, Okla. (AP) - Testimony continues Thursday in the trial of an Oklahoma man charged with child neglect and sexual abuse after authorities found his nine children living in squalid conditions.
The Poteau Daily News reports a jury of five women and seven men is considering the case in LeFlore County. In October, a judge declared a mistrial because too many potential jurors said they'd formed opinions on the case.
The children were taken into state custody in 2011. The man's wife pleaded no contest last week to child neglect and enabling child sexual assault.
On Wednesday, jurors were shown photographs of the couple's home and camper, as well as pictures of the children.
The Associated Press is not identifying the man or woman to protect the identities of the children.

There should be a little textbox like the tags textbox which allows users to keep a list of duplicate questions, e.g.:
3423 23423 2232
This would be cleaning than posting the links in comments and since you have the question numbers, you could add a button which allows the user to "show all answers to all related questions". Might even be useful to consolidate the topics into one for search engine ranking?
And it would allow people to re-ask the same question from time to time, since the answer to e.g. "what is the best x" in Dec 2008 is not the same as "what is the best x" in Jun 2009.

Here's a wakeup call. With much of the best beef in the country raised right here in Kansas, especially in the Flint Hills region, why not dine at an establishment the Kansas Beef Council twice named the best beef restaurant in the state? The Grand Central Hotel and Grill in Cottonwood Falls uses only a special brand of premium choice beef certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for its superior marbling. This marbling, coupled with the meat being aged for 21 days, gives the beef its rich flavor and juiciness. The steaks are cut to order, seasoned with a secret mix of spices, and grilled to your liking. I made a reservation and ordered the popular Grand Angelo, a small filet served with mushrooms and shrimp in garlic butter. It was, well, truly grand!

Is there a definitive source of all possible markup for all the SO sites? For instance, I saw on one meta site someone putting tag links in their question, and it showed up looking like the actual tag image. Is that a markup device? Also, I've heard some discussion on another meta site about creating a 'Spoiler' markup device, that would hide spoiler text until the reader hovered their mouse over it. Is there a place to see a list and usage information for specialized, SO-only markup syntax?
What is meta?

- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs

There is currently no definitive resource - more because there have actually been a few recent additions to the system in the past month or so. For the most part, everything is detailed in the Formatting Help, which is linked in various places. When asking questions, you can see it in a link on the right while you write. When answering questions, it's found by clicking the large question mark in the top right, as shown below.
That link pretty much explains how to do most of what you can format on the Stack Exchange Network. However, the two you're noting are brand new functions that have only recently been added. The closest to a timeline of this is our community-maintained changelog, which does include when these two were added. But it's not organized to help you find anything markup related.
It might be wise to get the Formatting Help updated for these two. Or, failing that, find a good tag to categorize these unique markup features for easier-to-find action - they can be found under markdown, but that's also grouping it with every other basic request or support question on markdown.

You can find microfiber lens-cleaning cloths on the web for less than $2, or pay $6 for a "Canon" microfiber cloth (or buy at a retail camera store for $15-20). Are all such cloths pretty much the same, or is there a reason to pay more?
I can't speak to the microfiber cloths specifically, but often the Canon/Nikon-branded small accessories like this really are nothing special. For example, I had some Canon lens cleaning fluid and it was pretty much crap. Stuff like this isn't actually made by them anyway - it's 3rd parties that license the brands.
I've not had great experience with microfiber cloths. For now, I'm trying disposable papers (Pec Pads). A lot of people like Kimwipes. (Oh, and I had some Canon lens paper that was pretty much crap too.)
Microfiber clothes are built specially so that it doesn't leave any scratch while cleaning your sensitive lens/s. If I were you, I wouldn't take any risk which involves leaving a stubborn scratch in my lens or even a minor one, almost invisible to human eyes. These things are mostly cheap, and you can use any one of them available, not necessarily it has to be from your camera manufacturer. I use one which I got with my Sony VAIO for cleaning the LCD screen. Its better if you can ask a few friends what they use before buying one.
And just so you know, for cleaning dust, its recommended to use blowers in general.

Movies can move the masses, all right. In fact, the herd gets so swayed by such superficial baloney it's not funny.
TV is on at my place. While the stars walk the red carpet, bouncers are having a real tough time holding the human tsunami that is threatening to give at the seams. A reporter fills the screen, and after some commentary on the crowd behind the barricades, thrusts the microphone in one hyper-fan's face. Flanked by teary eyed girls -- can't say what the tears signify though -- screaming deafeningly, she doesn't say anything; just screams at the top of her lungs to outdo others. The whole herd is obviously going through some very powerful emotion.
If this is what movies do to people, boy, am I glad I don't watch movies. The last one I saw was in 1999; gave me such a headache. Before that, in 1991 I think it was.
Anyway, presently the footage sets me thinking on my pet-peeve: people -- womenfolk majorly -- going bonkers over movie stars. To see how impressionable is the masses' psyche, one only need see movie audiences behave around a celeb. Clearly stupid.
Ask a lot of celebrities; heck, ask all of them. They'll know the stupidity of it all -- them getting all this attention. Of course, they wouldn't tell you that, but inside they know. If you have trouble understanding a celeb's -- borrowing a cliché here -- train of thoughts, lemme enlighten you on what he is really thinking: "Ooh, my, my! These dumb people are so pathetic. They are giving ME so much attention. All I do is act, but look at them! They are treating me like some king. Bloody idiots, for putting so much importance on a bloody nobody like me." Hail the masses!
While the crowd is indeed stupid, the star is very clever. And dishonest. Dishonest because he accepts something he knows doesn't rightfully belong to him. All these riches and adulation from fans -- them showering him with nonsense tears, swooning on sight, spreading their legs and stuff -- are so unwarranted. What has a star done to deserve this? A celebrity accepts something he has got no business accepting and keeps mum.
On the flip side, people might retort, why should he not keep mum? What's wrong with that? I turn around and say to them, "Yeah, right." It's not like a movie star enjoying all this adulation doesn't harm the masses. The celebs present a negative yet powerful role model for the naïve people. They philander, they do dope, they splurge, they badmouth, they expose. But they don't donate, they don't give back to society (not enough anyway), and most of all, they don't value their fans (they SAY they do, but they don't REALLY).
Having such a profound influence over the masses, as a role model, a movie star puts people on the wrong track. He's like an adult who takes advantage of a kid's naiveté. Masses are kids, because they don't understand how they are being misled; how they are paying for their innocent adulation. They are wasting their mind, time, money, and self-respect on a nobody.
And who are fans, anyway? Bunch of low self-opinion idiots too naively impressed with a worthless brat of a film star. Die-hard fans hero-worshiping a celebrity can be relied upon not to look farther than the tips of their noses. What do you make out of a person who hero-worships a fellow being and treats him as a super being plainly because he happens to act well, look well, sing well, or play basketball or any game well?
Lemme address all you masses now. Who do you suppose deserves your admiration more: a worthy policeman who gets killed in the line of duty; a social worker who's happy sharing others' sadness and suffering; or these singers, actors, players, who are ordinary artists after all and whose tight schedules never permit them to do even little acts of kindness?
If you think social worker is a lesser being than a movie star, why? What great acts of bravery, heroics, or virtuosity do you think these celebrities performed when you treat them like kings or queens? Brad Pitt -- or Tom Cruise or Robert Pattinson or Angelina Jolie or any other actor for that matter -- just acts. Who doesn't know how to act? We are all actors. When we step out for the day, we put on a face for the world. Acting is like smiling. All humans are capable of both. And regardless of what the guy says, he acts for himself, his awards, his family, and for money, rather than for YOU. Why are YOU so bonkers about him? Get a life! Stop worshiping bloody nobodies (far as I know, your stars are good-for-nothing illiterates; most are not even graduates, lemme enlighten you).
A rational man would just approve of these celebs and close the chapter on them. Beneath their glamorous, superficial selves, the celebrities are ordinary humans who must be given only what they truly deserve: a worthy applause, nothing more, nothing less. Otherwise it will screw their heads -- which it does more often than not -- and make them act like kings or queens with supercilious attitude towards ordinary people.
Becoming a fan of someone who pigeonholes you as stupid and wouldn't even notice you is just so demeaning to yourself. It's like staying in an abusive relationship where you are at the receiving end. Just have a think.
Get a print-out of my rants, find some time, sit somewhere quiet, have a couple of drinks -- coffee will do for teetotalers -- to pigeonhole life's vicissitudes for the nonce, and THINK.

Octopussy is a solution to manage your logs (also frequently called a SIM/SEM/SIEM Solution). Basically, it stores your logs, produces reports, and raises alerts.
Release Notes: This release fixes some bugs introduced with the last release.
SRFirewall is an easy to use, but still quite capable firewall for Netfilter/iptables. It is a complete rewrite of Firewall/SOSDG, designed to make it easy for users to configure and protect their Linux servers, routers, and gateways.
Release Notes: This update fixes IPv6 support when using default DROP policy, state matching features for forward.conf/acl.conf (slight change to config file), and port forwarding rules so that they work when DROP is the default policy.
Arno's IPTABLES Firewall Script is a secure stateful firewall for both single and multi-homed machines. It supports NAT and SNAT, port forwarding, ADSL ethernet modems with both static and dynamically assigned IPs, MAC address filtering, stealth port scan detection, DMZ support, protection against SYN/ICMP flooding, experimental IPv6 support, multi-interface/aliased-IP support, and extensive user definable logging with rate limiting to prevent log flooding. It has plugin support to add extra features (like SSH Brute Force protection and (Racoon) IPSEC support). It is easy to configure and highly customizable. A filter script that makes your firewall log more readable is also included.
Release Notes: arno-fwfilter and the Gentoo init script were updated. Some Gentoo specific stuff that isn't required anymore was removed. The TRACE option was removed. DMZ_INPUT_DENY_LOG and DMZ_OUTPUT_DENY_LOG variables were added. The DYNDNS and Traffic Accounting plugins were refactored. There were also miscellaneous tweaks and changes.
Aspose.Note for .NET is a set of .NET components that enables developers to work with Microsoft Office OneNote files in C#, VB.NET, and ASP.NET Web applications, Web services, and Windows applications. It allows developers to open files and manipulate elements of OneNote books, from text, images, and properties, to more complex elements, and then export to PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP, or PDF formats. It supports OneNote 2010, 2010 SP1, and 2013 files.
Release Notes: This release supports rendering text with subscript or superscript layout. In addition to that, users can easily access and manipulate bullet lists, numbered lists, and paragraphs with spacing options through the Aspose.Note API. The content manipulation features now offer a bit more control. One valuable feature is retrieving the bullet or numbered list properties, for example the font, font size, font color, and format. The Document Object Model navigation mechanism has also been improved with important bugfixes.
