G. Keenan's FC United- 2011/2012 Season Review- Blue Square North
Second season down and I completed both of my aims from last season. I was able to make significant improvements to three of my defensive positions and, perhaps as a result, I had a great year. We were a little inconsistent at first but had an incredibly strong mid season run which set up our challenge for the title. Things remained close all season, we qualified for the playoffs with 7 games remaining and after 41 games the top 4 teams were separated by 2 points and a goal difference spread of just 3. Results fell our way on the final day of the season and a 3-1 victory away to 10th place Hyde was enough to secure the title! Cup for was decent, we had a respectable run to the 1st round of the FA Cup and we also reached the 3rd round of the 'Trophy.

YES! ****ing magic. Coca Cola League Two Playoff Final, after leading the game, we fall 2-1 behind in extratime, only to pull it back to 3-2! Words cant describe my delight. Season update coming later.
Playoff Final
Finished 20th in League 2 this season, expected seeing as I weakened the squad to save money.
Review tomorrow.
Just got 180k up front for Paul Pogba from Championship Bradford. Saw that teams were interested, so offered him for 180 which was more than he was worth, and Bradford and MK Dons bit the cherry, and Bradford won. Nice to get the money up front and not in installments either
Phew, 7h 13m later, I'm just beginning the first game of the season. Man finding players is hard as **** if you don't know what you're doing! I think I probably have the best first team in each position in the league. I just have no backups at all, which is bad
I'm tired of it now, and just want to start playing, so I'll just sign whoever my scouts recommend to me next.
PS: Playing with FC United. Any good right winger suggestions welcome. I've literally grown a lot older since I started searching for a RW player. Hopefully will get the season done today
A word of warning to managers of Super Kyle Wilson -
Before contract extension: 13 appearances, 7.51 average rating, 14 goals, 5 Man of the Match awards
After contract extension: 9 appearances, 6.76 average rating, 5 goals, 1 Man of the Match award
230 pounds a week must buy a lot of liquor and donuts...
BTW I still suck at this, seven games left in the '11/'12 season with Carshalton and we are in 7th, one place worse than last season, with a far better squad on paper. Bleh. Losing interest in this challenge in particular and FM10 in general.
7 draws in my last 8 matches. Madness
Willing to make 2d (3d also if I can make them work...) kits for anyone who wants them, just pm the details, going to try and make a set for all the the teams this season over the next few weeks in my off time. But if anyone really wants one from the challenge just pm me and I can put it at the top of the list.
if anyone has a FC United virgin save they can upload, it would be appreciated largely... having some trouble getting them to come up.

starting off with the questionably mighty sutton united, mostly because i like their color scheme and they have youth players from strange african nations. we'll see what happens.
Many Thanks Rooney_08
Getting a bit bored of writing updates and taking screenshots etc, have just got promoted to the EPL with Hendon but will just play the challenge with the same rules but manage it myself from now on. Happy to update if people don't care about screenshots, my scouts can be anywhere in the world now so no need for trials etc and seeing as I only have one non regen (Jamie O'Hara) in my side now it's not as if people will know who I'm talking about anyway.
Was given £29m and £270k wage budget for avoiding relegation in my first season so looks like plenty of cash to spend when clubs get into the EPL! Will continue to read though and see how people are doing
Good luck staying up next season.
Also just been linked with the Man U job, who have been doing poorly this season.

Lost two games, which we atleast deserved to draw. On a related note, is anyone having 1 shot which hits the post every game? :x

challenge website alternative update
Great news! I'm pretty confident that I've set up the Google form and my own Excel file nicely. The plan is for everyone to make their season updates through http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewf...UVdBcTJkQ2c6MA. This creates a database which I make use of so that I can create a ranking of each individual's season. The aim is to create a summary of every participant's challenge so far, and I will probably present the results as a Google spreadsheet. The format will be very similar to the website.
What you need to do
I hope you guys can help by starting with your season updates! Do it season by season and in a few days time, I will produce the first report. I'm trying to make the process as automated as possible using fancy Excel macros, but that would take some time. Meanwhile, you guys can really help by starting to use this form. This is certainly not as elegant a way as the website, but we don't have much choice now. So go on, update!
Note: to the following members, you will need to enter your data again. I didn't state clearly that I needed season-by-season updates and so caused the confusion. I've deleted what you've entered so you need to enter them again! Sorry for that!

i got promoted last season into the BSP after my first season as Merthyr but i'm finding it impossible to sign anyone who is rated more 3 stars apart. the only exception to this was david prutton but it is easy to see why he was unemployed for a year, he either plays above 7 or below 5.
How are other people finding signing of players in the BSP
Really enjoyed last year's game with Hendsford so I am here again. Managed to reach 4th place in the Premiership and made the Champions League just as the new game came out. Doh!
Just up to the 24th now and waiting to see who I can get. Wouldn't mind Durham but I keep getting the likes of Boston etc.
After 24 games we sit in 10th place but have a real injury problem, 3 of my 4 centre backs are injured and my top 3 strikers are all out leaving me my worst backup as the only striker which makes it very hard when you play 442.
Let see how i can work my magic in the Vaaaaaaalleys!
PROMOTION League 2 here we come! Super tonny
ahh fair enough the spreadsheet is a great idea though mate, congrats
losing interest in this challenge... the seasons just seem to be one long grind atm.
gonna take a break and play with another team for now.

FC United - Coca-Cola League Two - Season 2012/2013
My first season in the football league, and boy was it a toughey, but we managed to do much better than I was expecting, with my players pulling out all the stops towards the end and sealing us a sneaky play-off spot finishing 6th place. In the playoffs, we managed to steal victory with an extra-time comeback to win 3-2 against Yeovil.
League Table
We had a fantastic run in the League Cup, reaching the Quarter-Finals before being thrashed 3-0 by Man Utd, but defeating the likes of Portsmouth felt good, and to do so with such style, was fantastic. We had a terrible FA Cup, losing in the First Round to Crystal Palace by 4-1, very bad day. We also reached the Paint Trophy Final but we were defeated 3-2 by Southend, which was quite gutting.
FA Cup
League Cup
Johnson's Paint Trophy
Our transfers were abit of a hit-and-miss tbh with much of our BSP squad remaining in the First Team tbh, the only real notable signings were Bruno Berner and Tony Kane in defence. Craig McShea still was our first-choice striker throughout League 2, which shows just how far he has progressed from the Blue Square North days. The team struggled much more though due to some poorer quality signings, which is obviously a slight concern.
Aims for Next Season:
To survive and push for a mid-table position hopefully, but mainly just to stay in League One.

alright i know promotion is secured, but is that really a reason to draw 8 out of 9 games?
My policy of avoiding cup runs seems to be paying off again as we have made another late season push for promotion. After a good initial start and then a run of bad form (mostly due to Craig Rodger's injury) we have now found some solid form. And thanks to the top clubs dropping points I am currently 2nd after 29 games, and equal on points with top of the table Norwich. The reason for our success is clear when you notice that both our strikers have 20 goals each. Hopefully we can keep it up and be in contention for promotion, but our small squad may be an issue in the coming months.
Tonbridge Angels 2013-2014 BSP
This was without doubt our best season yet. We walked the division this year, winning the league and gaining promotion with a good 6-7 games left. The defence was solid all season with Mitchell and Culshaw forming a good centre half partnership. Caldwell played the makelele role perfectly, miller and roman where the playmakers in the centre of the park and grant created plenty of chances from the wing, probally would have been player of the season if it werent for super Kyle! Kyle Wilson was a class apart this season, banging in 47 in 44, mainly down to how many chances where created for him through out the matches.
Key player: Kyle Wilson. Do I have to say anymore?
Key Transfers: Cassidy and Hughes sured up the back line, bialkowski was good in goal, the others where used in rotation roles.
Finances again looking better, maybe one day we will be out of debt, one day.
Next Season
I believe the squad is strong enough to stay up in league 2 next year, so will only look to bring in a couple of strengthening players, maybe 1 or 2 heading for the exit. Consolidation is what is require next season.
Ouch! You're hurting my eyes!

congratz on promotion though
I'm sick of these crash dumps, so I have re-formatted my computer, so I'm going to have to start a new one again today, going to go with Dartford again, even though there isn't really any differences between the teams at this level that much, will post profile page up later after the gym and hopefully, the re-format will mean I will stop getting crash dumps all the time
I'm gonna do this challenge, but fm10 runs so slow on this laptop, So i'm planning on buying a new laptop in the coming weeks, I've finished uni and everything and the only game i play on the laptop is fm, So yes, I am going to buy a new laptop JUST for fm. Heh.
Anton Peterlin is doing wonders for me in midfield in his first season! Rocking!
Midway through my first season with Farnborough, at the top of the league 5 points clear with a game in hand. Just got knocked out of the Fa Cup 3rd round by Plymouth, would have liked a better draw in that but you know .
Lost to Aldershot in the FA Trophy 1st Round as well, wasn't outplayed though so not disheartened. James Keatings is quality for BSS level, cheers whoever recommended him at the start!

Hopefully stay up and build a team capable of promotion push next year. Would be nice to turn professional too.
Both my strikers, Malcolm Christie and Matthew Tipton, scored in our first game in the BSN to give us a 2-0 win, onwards and upwards
Might be the first year when I have some strikers who can score - along with Craig McShea I've got a fairly decent set of players up front.
Billy Paynter is a beast in the BSP.
anyone got any logo packs for the teams? cant seem to find any :[
cheers boss ill take a look,
Media speculation has suggested i'm the favourite to take over at Leeds Utd, and I have also been offered the Luton job. Leeds would be tempting, but as i'm above both of them in League 1 I think i'll stick with King's Lynn!
Woho! Just won 1-0 vs Crystal Palace in the 2nd Rnd of the FA Cup!!

G. Keenan's FC United- 2012/2013 Season Review- Blue Square Premier
Season Review: First season in the BSP started very well and I thought promotion was on the cards but then our form fell away and I had to settle for 7th. I thought my signing of Richard Offiong would carry me to glory but he was actually a little disappointing. As for the cups, I lost in the 1st round of the FA Cup and the 'Trophy.

2010/2011 - Dartford - Blue Square South
My first season attempting this challenge and I was quietly confident that I could surprise my relegation battling prediction. I made a multitude of transfers before the season began, but my failure to actually sell anyone for any money meant I had to rely on free transfers. I got rid of a lot of the original squad and the majority of those who stayed spent the season in the reserves.

Final Table
League Graph
As you can see from the graph the season began pretty well with the team in and around the playoff position, however it would have been higher if my away form had been anything like my home form. Unfortunately after such a promising start we got ourselves into a downward spiral of form, only getting the odd win here and there, which saw us slip to mid-table and then down into 18th place and perilously close to the relegation zone. In the new year we managed to pick ourselves up a little taking us back into the top half of the table, but after losing our remaining three games at the end of the season we managed to finish in a disappointing 17th place.
FA Cup
Had hoped for a really good cup run to get us some money in but we lost in the second qualifying round to Moseley, having scraped a draw in the first leg we got what we deserved.
FA Trophy
We did slightly better in the FA Trophy, in that we managed to get past the qualifying stage and the first round, before we lost to BSP side Chelmsford in stoppage time in the second round.
Best Eleven
There were not many players that stood out a stars of the season although there were certainly a few that I was disappointed with. Our problem for much of the season came from not having a proper goalscorer in the side, and as such we wasted chances in matches and threw away the lead. Anyway these were our players of the season
Chris Blackburn - The fans player of the season, Chris was the rock in the defence and too often we relied on him when the other defenders went missing
Thomas France - My player of the season, playing the attacking role of the two central midfielders, should have topped the assist chart really if it hadn't had been for our poor strike rate
Danny Hockton - Our top scorer and about the only striker who had a respectable record in front of goal, probably could have got around 20 goals this season if it wasn't for injuries

does anyone know why you can't retrain goalies to another position?
My back up goalie is unconvincing as a striker at the moment and i'm short of strikers so would consider putting him on as his physical attributes are good along with being my best penalty taker.

Smithers - Oxford City - Blue Square North - 2012/13
League prediction - 11th
League position - 2nd (won play-offs)
This season we excelled with tremendous promise. We were rampant in the league, scoring goals galore, and had some decent cup runs too. The signing of Gareth Evans was a master-stroke, and his partnership up-front with Kyle Wilson was integral to our success, leaving last year's star Pavol Suhaj on the subs' bench.
The play-off semi-finals produced two of the most extraordinary games I've ever had the pleasure of watching in my CM/FM experience. In the first leg, we seemed to be out of the running before we'd even started as we went down 3-0 inside only 19 minutes away to Histon, which included a ridiculously bizarre own-goal. Even when winger Brett Poate grabbed a goal back, a minute later we were 3 goals down again. But a goal either side of half-time from super-signing 17-year old Ron Franks, and midfielder Francis Quarm set us up for a feasible win in the home leg. Here, attacking from the off, we produced a spectacular first-half display to complete a fantastic comeback and earn a place in the final against Droylsaden, where Quarm again delivered the goods, as well as centre-back Jon Boardman, to give us our first ever promotion.
League Table
Changing Positions
FA Cup run - our best ever FA Cup run saw us reach the 1st round where we earned a respectable replay against League 2 leaders Yeovil.
FA Trophy run - again, much better than last season as we reached the 3rd round, only to go out against BSP team Stevenage.
Transfers - like last season, another great year of signings. Prolific striker Gareth Evans joined on a free transfer, and scored 24 goals in 41 games. Adam Mekki immediately established himself on the left-wing, and Francis Quarm proved to be exceptional in midfield, contributing both to defence and attack, with his 9 goals and 5 assists. Special praise must be given to 17-year old Ron Franks though, who joined on loan when Evans got injured, and turned out to be another excellent signing, as he grabbed a hat-trick on his debut, before scoring another 3, to notch up a brilliant 6 goals, in just 4 starts and 2 substitute appearances. He impressed so much that I signed him full-time after his loan finished.
Squad - defensively this season we were solid with our back four of Phil Anderson, Jon Boardman, John Scarborough and Andrew Thomas. Although we conceded a fair amount, we balanced it out by getting a few goals too, with Boardman (fans' player of the year) getting 5, and Scarborough scoring 3. In midfield, Luke Thurlbourne and Scott Hadland on the right-wing were our creative forces, but our main strength definitely lay in our attack. Kyle Wilson (nominated for player of the season) produced a formidable partnership with Evans, and although Pavol Suhaj was in great form too, he was left on the bench for the majority of the season. Our 3 main strikers score between them 64 goals, and this was the principal reason why we scored the most goals in the league.
Finances - grew somewhat out of control towards the end of the season, but all in all I was able to stay within the limits of the wage budget by releasing players on frees, or changing players' contracts.
Aims for next season:
- stay up
- get a decent parent club
- limit the amount of goals we're conceding whilst maintaining our attacking power

As you can see, I spent pretty much all the season top of the league, however, Tamworth went on a 8 game winning streak 2/3rds the way through, and pegged me back to 2 pts.
FA Cup Managed to get to the 1st round, which pleased the board and fans. Also netted me a bit of extra cash.
FA Trophy Got given a tough Away game at Altrincham that we really didn't have too much of a chance in.
I didn't really have a out and out star player, or top scorer, but having a lot of players chip in with great performances.

The basis for our success was an extremely strong back line, only in the last 15 games conceding the majority of our goals. The two Strikers did their bit though, but I never really found a consistent Centre Midfield partnership.
Aims for Next Season
Finish mid-table or higher
Get out of debt
Find a consistent 1st team

Can anyone help me with this issue?
Finished my first season with F'boro, finished top by 3 points I think.
Struggling to sign anyone that will improve my team for the BSP, might have to scour Scotland again.
The board are going to pull out all the stops this season.
What am I going to spend it all on?
I reckon a round of beers and some Cheese and Onion crisps will do.
Injuries have pretty much scuppered my chances of winning League 1. My tiny squad just can't cover and, with 3 games left, 3 points behind league leaders Crewe, I simply don't have the players to field a fully fit team. It doesn't help that all my youth prospects have been useless. But at least we are guaranteed the playoffs and are 4 points clear of 3rd place... and both our strikers are fit, which is enough!
And i'm playing Crewe next, which should be fun!
We hammered Crewe 3-0! A masterclass from Craig Rodger who grabbed 2 goals. Not bad considering it was a mostly second-string side. Now we're level on points and GD for 1st place with 2 games remaining.
Drew 2-2 with Doncaster, which means we are now 2 points behind 1st placed Crewe. But on the other hand that point has sealed 2nd place and automatic promotion for us. So King's Lynn will be playing Championship football next season!

Wow I am really struggling with Durham, I guess I can't attract high calibre players on a wage budget of 2k despite signing a few good players the results are just not falling my way, after 10 games we sit 16th on 10 points, and I've just linked with the Alfreton job, play up Durham!
Good luck Gypsum!
Haven't started amazingly to the BSP to be honest, three 0-0 draws (vs. Barrow, Histon and York) followed by a 2-0 loss to Stevenage.
My strikers can't score, Keatings was amazing last season, added a few players to the squad as well. I'll do an update for the first season later on.
Just signed Kyle Wilson. Anyone got any ideas on how to get the best out of him. Like poacher, advanced forward etc. For me he has only scored 1 in 8.
Season 2018/19 Review - Kingstonian in the Coca-Cola Championship
League Table
Past Positions
Switched from my 4-5-1 to a counter-attacking 4-4-2 to get new signing Lascaux into the line-up. We seem have to remained a tough side to break down, as evident by having the second best defensive record behind Coventry, but the offensive play left a bit to be desired. We still hovered around the last playoff spot for most of the season and after a spell of late-season wins managed to climb up to 5th with 2 games to go. A poor finish with 2 losses would however prove too weak and only good for 7th behind Bristol City on goal difference.
FA Cup | League Cup
Not a spectacular cup season; we did well until drawing the Premiership teams.
A lack of proper provision from the new 4-4-2's defensive wingers left Pinto and Lascaux with few clear-cut chances to score, so ~20 goals a piece is something I'm quite happy with. I seriously doubt a lone striker would've closed in on 40 against this opposition, so considering the new tactic has kept our defence together and allowed 2 up front I'm quite satisfied. The highlight is otherwise Roddy Wilson, a young scotsman I bought for way too much money hoping he'll develop into the Premiership defender my scout claims he can. The assistant doesn't quite agree, so we'll see. He did well this season with the highest average rating of the regular CB's.
Strengthening all around. Also had to let go of a bunch of central midfielders in January as they were on way too expensive contracts for the playtime they shared now that we're down to 2 guys in central midfield. Vialle probably stands out from the rest in that he never featured in a single gameand was never meant to. Lascaux had problems adjusting to the English lifestyle and I simply needed a fellow frenchman to help him settle in.
The big problem area this season. A balance of ~£2.5M has turned into ~£650K over the course of one season, a trend we certainly can't afford to continue. My £800K transfer spending certainly contributed, but that still leaves a million in losses. Predictably a 4500 capacity (1100 seated) stadium can't really support Championship wages, and the board refuses upgrades as we don't own the stadium. It looks like I might have to stick to free transfers next season and pray for a good cup run to stay in the black...
Aim for next season: Playoff spot, get the finances sorted.

G. Keenan's FC United- 2013/2014 Season Review- Blue Square Premier
Season Review: My 2nd season in the BNP was similar to last season in the fact that we started well again winning four of our first five games, but instead of falling off as we did last season, we were able to push on and claim a playoff position by finishing 3rd. In the playoffs we drew Dagenham & Redbridge in the semis and drew the first leg 0-0, being the away leg I wasn't too disappointed with this result. In the home leg we smashed them 3-1 to progress to the playoff final. In the final we drew Mansfield and won, 3-2, in front of 38,819 at Wembley.

Thanks again to everyone who helped with the list of teams that are being managed. I think there are a few more to be added now like Nantwich, Hednesford and Durham among others. After many times reloading and much deliberating I've decided to finally go for Burscough. So here I am

And congrats to Gareth as well.
My scout has reported a 39 year-old David Beckham available on a free, and willing to sign for just £1,000 a week! He can't run, but his technical stats are superb. It'd be great to get him!
I've started with Merthyr doing pretty well by my standards at the minute(probably shouldn't of said that). 6 out of 7 wins so far in friendlys including a 2-0 win over Morecambe and a 6-1 win over Havant and W. So good so far
How come i couldnt get Craig McShea,Gallacher and Adam Hunter to join me as FC United ?
I offered max wages to them .
Nuneaton are massively overated by SI, i mean come on 1700 rep, when they get promoted they're media prediction is 4th, totally unrealistic as they were never a force when they were in the BSN, and i would since i am Blyth Spartans fan who are in the BSN!
Currently considering a 3-1-6 formation.
have given this another go with Ilkeston.
oh and also you cant sayu we werent a force in the blue square north when we were two points away from the playoffs

Geez... I had £4M offer for Lascaux accepted, but he obviously had to go and turn down their contract. Now he wants to move to a bigger club but no one wants him, so I'm stuck with both him and the replacement I'd already signed as I assumed the deal would go through.

(AP Photo/USUHS, File)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A review of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage will recommend the FBI make 18 changes in policies and operations, according to a letter by the former FBI director leading the independent review.
The Fort Hood shootings outraged members of Congress when it was learned that the accused shooter, Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, had been communicating with Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, an Islamic radical.
In a July 3 letter to a member of Congress, Judge William Webster said he would be handing over his report to FBI Director Robert Mueller within 10 days.
Webster said his report will have 18 "formal recommendations for corrective and enhancing measures on matters ranging from FBI policies and operations to information systems infrastructure, review protocols, and training." But he did not provide any specifics in his letter to Rep. Frank Wolf, a Virginian Republican.
Webster said his report will run more than 150 single-spaced pages, and it resulted from more than 50 formal interviews, meetings and briefings; 10,000 pages of documents; and direct access to FBI computer systems.
Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder in the shootings. The military psychiatrist allegedly shot at fellow soldiers preparing to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan. His court martial is scheduled to begin August 20; he faces a maximum penalty of death if convicted.
An FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force learned that Hasan was communicating via e-mail with al-Awlaki but decided Hasan was not dangerous.
There were also problems with information-sharing with the military about Hasan's activities, and the Army drew much criticism for continuing to promote Hasan even though his records showed concerns were raised about his adherence to radical views.
Mueller asked Webster to review the Fort Hood shootings. In his letter to Wolf, Webster described the task as "a complex and lengthy assignment."
Webster said he and his team interviewed all members of the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Forces involved in the matter, and sought outside perspective from experts on Islamic radicalism and counterterrrorism, as well as staff from congressional committees involved with FBI oversight.
Webster told Wolf he expected a public version of his report would be made available once redactions of classified material take place.

The Bewitched Viking (Mass Market Paperbound)
Even fierce Norse warriors have bad days.
'Twas enough to drive a sane Viking mad, the things Tykir Thorksson was forced to do--capturing a red-headed virago, putting up with the flock of sheep that follows her everywhere, chasing off her bumbling brothers. But what could a man expect from the sorceress who had put a kink in the King of Norway's most precious body part?
If that wasn't bad enough, Tykir was beginning to realize he wasn't at all immune to the enchantment of brash red hair and freckles. Perhaps he could reverse the spell and hold her captive, not with his mighty sword, but with a Viking man's greatest magic: a wink and a smile.

I recently purchased AI War:Fleet Command with the intent of playing Co-Op with a certain friend. He bought the game about a years ago and have two expansions installed (Zenith Remant and Children of Neinzul). I bought a bundle and got 3 expansions ( Zenith, Neinzul and Spire) but have installed none so far.
Do we need to sync our Expansions and Patches to be able to play Co-Op?
Currently I have installed the base game, no expansion with patch 5.087

I am trying to move to GVim(cream) as my primary editor on Ubuntu. I am using the wonderful rails.vim, however I also am using RVM.
Rvm works fine when doing things in a shell, and the ruby version I would like to use in rails.vim is the version set as default (but not the system version).
When I try to run things like
:Rgenerate migration migration_name
I get:
Missing Rails 2.3.8 gem.
If I try:
:!rvm use default
I get:
/bin/bash: rvm: command not found
Obviously cream/gvim is not using my .bashrc. What can I do to remedy this and get it working? Thanks.

The 5 Most Mind-Blowing Acts of Battlefield Mercy in History
Mercy isn't a part of any army's strategy. Combat training is about eliminating any doubts or sympathy that might make a recruit hesitate at the wrong second. When his own life -- and the life of everyone in the unit -- is at stake, there's no time to stop and ask, "But won't this Nazi's wife miss him?" That kind of thing gets you killed.
And yet, inspiring stories of mercy on the battlefield do turn up all through history. In the most inhumane settings, sometimes a little humanity shines through.
#5. A British Sniper Spares George Washington
British soldier Patrick Ferguson was an expert marksman who invented his own rifle and created his own sniping unit. This becomes much more impressive when you consider that this was the 1700s, when guns were so primitive that you had a better chance of hitting the enemy if you just threw it at them. Then it becomes more impressive still when you realized he almost took out George Washington with one.
Ferguson was reckoned to be the best shot in all of the British forces during the Revolutionary War. He also abided by several rules, the first of which was to never shoot a soldier who was unaware of his presence. So, yeah, sniping has changed a bit since then.
"Boo! Haha, but really, sorry."
In September 1777, Ferguson was involved in the Battle of Brandywine. He was busy, you know, killing people, when he saw two officers ride up a path on horses. Not being one to potentially let this opportunity pass him by, Ferguson quickly ordered his men to crawl up and ambush them.
"But wait!" you say, "What about his first and most important rule?" Well, Ferguson remembered that and changed his mind, thinking that shooting the officers in an ambush would be "disgusting." So instead, Ferguson did the only sensible thing a sniper would ever do: He stood up and made his position known to them.
"OK, now I just feel like a jerk."
Noticing him, one of the officers quickly galloped off, giving Ferguson the clearest shot yet. To quote Ferguson, "I could have lodged half a dozen balls in or about him, before he was out of my reach." But his own aversion to shooting a man in the back prevented him.
Later in the same battle, Ferguson was in the field hospital for an injured elbow when he learned that the officer he could have shot was General George Washington. Yeah, so if you really want the guy who saved the Revolution, look no further than the British sharpshooter whose conscience wouldn't let him take out the father of America.
But he was only known as "That what's-his-name who invented the Ferguson rifle."
#4. The Germans Respected the Defeated Brits Too Much to Kill Them
It was 1940, and British and German ships were engaged in their favorite pastime of sinking each other. Considering how the odds were stacked against it in this particular battle, you already have to feel sorry for the small British warship the HMS Glowworm. You just wouldn't expect the Nazis to agree.
"They are too adorable to kill."
It started when Lt. Commander Gerard Roope and the crew of the Glowworm were surprised to find themselves toe to toe with the Nazi heavy cruiser the Admiral Hipper. Despite the fact that the Hipper was approximately three times larger than the Glowworm and far more heavily armed, Roope decided that the Hipper would look pretty good over his mantle, and engaged it.
Bundesarchiv, Bild 101I-757-0038N-11A / Lange, Eitel / CC-BY-SA
"Don't worry, lads! The worst they can do is kill us all easily."
He fired all his torpedoes, which had precisely no effect on the massive ship in front of him (mostly because they missed). Taking on heavy fire, Roope would be damned if he'd go down without a fight, and said, "Prepare to ram!" Around that time, a sailor aboard the Hipper took this photo:
Maritime Quest
Presumably while shouting, "Holy shit, no way!"
That's the Glowworm, on fire, trailing a pillar of smoke, coming around to try to head butt the German ship to death. Oh, and the Glowworm's action stations siren was stuck in the "on" position the whole time, so it was whooping like a wounded animal as it made a sharp right turn straight into the Hipper's side. The crash seriously damaged the Hipper's hull, but sank the Glowworm, killing Roope and all but 31 crewmen in the ensuing chaos.
This left floating survivors at the mercy of three Nazi ships -- vessels they'd just been shooting and/or ramming. So you'd think the heartless bastards probably machine-gunned them or something, right? Wrong.
They were afraid to anger Roope's ghost.
The Hipper stuck around to rescue survivors, and if this sounds like common courtesy, keep in mind the Nazis were risking their own lives to do it. As far as anyone knew, the Glowworm had transmitted their position before going down and reinforcements might show up any second. In fact, that's exactly what she had done, and the battleship Renown was on the way.
The rescued survivors were greatly surprised by the treatment they received on board, which was the same as wounded Germans were getting. Even more shocking, the Hipper's captain came to see them and offered his compliments, telling them that he and his fellow officers couldn't believe the fight they'd just had. To him, the Glowworm's captain had balls that were hard as Krupp steel.
"Of every British man I've heard of, he was the least girlish."
Afterward, the German captain wrote a letter to the Royal Navy in which he retold the story of what happened, again complimented Roope's cojones, and recommended that Roope be awarded the Victoria Cross, which is more or less the equivalent of our Congressional Medal of Honor. In an odd twist of fate, the German captain's honorable act ended up getting Roope a posthumous Victoria Cross, which was the first time it had ever been awarded on the basis of a recommendation from the enemy.
#3. Mochitsura Hashimoto Sinks Captain Charles McVay, Then Defends Him in Court
The USS Indianapolis, led by Captain Charles McVay, was ordered to head toward Guam by going through the Leyte Gulf. What the U.S. Navy didn't tell him was the Leyte Gulf at the time was a freaking haven for Japanese submarines, and that ships passing through should do so with extreme caution.
"There's a lot more fire and screaming on this leg of the trip than I'd expected."
Lacking the intel that he was in unfriendly waters and exercising his order to perform evasive maneuvers "at his discretion," McVay told the crew to just head straight forward, and bid them a good night. Unfortunately the Japanese submarine I-58, captained by Mochitsura Hashimoto, noticed the Indianapolis heading straight toward it and immediately sank it.
McVay survived and World War II ended, but soon thereafter he found himself in a court martial for negligence in the sinking of his ship (probably as a scapegoat to cover for the other Navy guys who completely botched the Indianapolis' travel instructions and subsequent rescue).
"How could knowing about the packs of deadly, deadly submarines possibly have helped?"
In the trial, the U.S. Navy made the fairly unprecedented step of bringing in Hashimoto as a witness -- yes, the freaking captain of the Japanese sub. He was brought in as a witness for the prosecution, expected to talk about the gross incompetence of the American captain, hoping he would seal McVay's fate. Rather unexpectedly, when Hashimoto took the stand he outright defended McVay, stating that no matter what he had done, the Indianapolis still would have been hit by his torpedoes.
"I was just too damn good."
The U.S. Navy still found McVay guilty regardless of what Hashimoto said, demoting him and basically ruining his naval career. Though Admiral Nimitz would wind up promoting McVay back to his old rank soon thereafter, the trial decision still stood -- that is, until Hashimoto decided to help McVay out again. Hashimoto sent a letter to Senator John Warner, an action that helped lead to McVay being exonerated.

STEUBENVILLE - Plans to alter traffic patterns near the Veterans Memorial Bridge and a need to address recurring rock slides were among issues discussed Wednesday by the Brooke-Hancock-Jefferson Metropolitan Planning Commission.
Plans have been made to replace the short left turn lane from Ohio Route 7 at the intersection of University Boulevard with two lanes extending from an area just north of Garfield Elementary School and through the Brettell property at the southeast corner of the intersection.
Instead of yielding, as drivers entering the bridge from the boulevard's right lane do now, they would proceed or stop at a traffic signal timed to coincide with the one for drivers turning onto the bridge from University Boulevard's eastbound lane.
The changes were suggested to ease the flow of traffic onto the bridge and reduce collisions at the busy intersection.
The project also involves the extension of Labelle Avenue, the access road for the Steubenville Marina, so it will run parallel to Route 7 and to the intersection where the new turn lanes begin.
The extension was suggested because it's not unusual for vehicles entering the marina road to be backed into Route 7 while waiting for a train to pass.
Roxanne Kane, district planning administrator for the Ohio Department of Transportation, said an environmental study for the project has been reviewed and W.E. Stillson of Columbus has been hired to provide engineering designs.
Once they are completed, officials will pursue whatever right of way acquisitions are needed and it's hoped construction can begin in 2015 or 2016, Kane said.
ODOT has committed $7.5 million for the estimated $9.1 million project, and BHJ has agreed to pursue additional funds.
In other business, Wellsburg City Manager Mark Henne asked the commission to continue to urge the West Virginia Department of Transportation to fund measures to prevent recurring rock slides along state Route 2 north and south of the city.
Slides caused by heavy rain have blocked traffic on the highway on either end and occasionally, on both ends at the same time, while crews worked to remove the fallen rock and dirt.
Henne said he understands funding is a problem but he'd like to see preventive measures taken. He noted ODOT has initiated a number of projects in slide areas.
Kane said in some cases ODOT was able to secure federal funds for emergency situations arising from the slides.
BHJ has reported that since last year ODOT has allocated $66 million for slide projects in Steubenville, Brilliant, Rayland and Wellsville.
Later in the meeting Alanna Slack, WVDOT's liaison to BHJ, reported this year steel piling was installed to address slides along state Route 67 in Brooke County and Route 2 in Hancock County.
The commission also heard from Dan Motley, industrial development manager for Norfolk Southern Corp., who discussed the railroad's role not only in transporting various industrial materials but also in developing intermodal facilities.
He said the company operates about 20,000 miles of railroad in 22 states and the District of Columbia, including 807 in West Virginia; and serves every major container port in the eastern U.S., with 100 to 150 new businesses added to its clientele each year.
Motley added Norfolk Southern offers engineering services to industries interested in building facilities along rails or potential rail sites.
He said in the last 10 years Norfolk Southern has been involved in the location and expansion of more than 1,000 factories, distribution facilities and other businesses along its lines.
BHJ Executive Director John Brown told the commission he heard Motley speak at a recent conference and felt his input could aid local officials in their efforts for economic development.

By KORTNY HAHN
WOLVERINE — Wolverine Community Schools has several different ways of showing its appreciation for board of education members during School Board Appreciation Month.
At the January school board meeting, Superintendent Joe Hart acknowledged the board and thanked members for their service and all of the work they do for the district, along with distributing certificates of appreciation. The board was also treated to a dinner prepared by the staff before the meeting.
"The school board is very deserving of our appreciation and respect," Hart said. "Most people do not realize the devotion and time it takes to be on the school board. The responsibility goes so much deeper than just attending a monthly meeting."
Hart said it takes a person that is committed and dedicated to the cause.
"The students and staff of Wolverine Schools are grateful to have individuals willing to make time in their schedules to serve as members of the school board," he said.
At its organizational meeting a week earlier, the board had approved their salaries, keeping them the same as the year before.
Board president David Ashenfelter is paid $300, vice president Megan Combs is paid $150, secretary Michelle Egas is paid $700 and treasurer Lisa Rolinski is paid $250 annually. The three board trustees, Linda Posnanski, Doug Whitcomb and Tracy Andrews are each paid $120 annually. The salary amounts are annual, in addition to the $80 each receives per monthly meeting.
In other news, the district is working on fixing issues of heat loss in the remodeled section of the middle school.
Hart said there has been a problem with heat loss and the growth of large icicles in the area of the old gymnasium, which has been turned into classrooms.
"Our middle school classrooms are the result of an extensive remodel project a number of years ago," Hart said. "After the new gymnasium was complete, the district converted the old gym into classrooms.These are now our middle school classrooms."
According to Hart, because the original structure was a gym with tall ceilings, the new classrooms have a large attic space above them.
"This is the area we are looking at possibly improving with additional insulation," Hart said. "We are starting by looking at the cost to add insulation."
In the blueprints for the school, there should be at least a foot of insulation in the ceiling, above the classrooms. However, with the extra room above them, more insulation may be needed to prevent the heat loss.
Hart told the school board he is planning to get bids on the cost to put the required amount of insulation in, and will bring the bid responses to the board at the next meeting.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The manufacturer of a protective device blamed in the power outage that interrupted the Super Bowl, says a low "trip setting" on the equipment caused the partial blackout in the Superdome.
The power failure cut lights to about half of the stadium for 34 minutes, halting play between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers.
Officials of Entergy New Orleans say the device, called a relay, had been installed to protect the stadium from a cable failure between the company's incoming power line and lines that run into the stadium.
Friday's statement from S&C Electric Co. of Chicago said the outage would have been avoided if the operator of the relay device had set the trip threshold higher.
The statement did not name the operator, but the equipment was owned and installed by Entergy, the local electric utility company that supplies power to the dome.
Earlier Friday, Entergy said the device was the cause of the power outage.

What's the best online place to get prescription glasses with progressive lenses?
I'm way overdue for an eye exam and I know I'm going to need new glasses. The last time I got glasses with progressive lenses it was about $400 and that was WITH insurance. Has anyone gotten progressive lenses online and which is the best site? I've seen Coastal, Goggles4U and some others here. (and no I will not get bifocals of any kind).
19 Answers answer
Personally I order my prescription glasses from zennioptical.com. I just have a normal prescription (non-progressive) but their prices are reasonable. I got a pair of glass with photo-chromatic, and an oil-resistant coating for around $50.
@murixbob: Thanks! I'll check it out. If I can get 2 pairs for the price of one that would be great!
Eyebuydirect has them at a decent price. I got regular perscription glasses from there. It took longer than I expected, I think around 6 weeks. I got an email that they were shipped within a few days of my order but it was not actually shipped until much later. The frames were thin and cheap but they worked fine. Overall I will order again. The price for two pair was less then $35 shipped. I did have a discount code to get that price.
@pattiq: Was that for progressive lenses? 6 weeks is crazy by any standards though for a good price.....
@minkeygirl7: No, regular prescription lens. The progressives start around $50, I think. You choose a frame that will take progressives and then add the options you want. You can see all the price options to help you select what you want and how much it costs to add it. I use them as a second set. I know several people that order them because they lose them so often.
If you're not super set on looking online, consider Sears. I got two pairs for like $100. Granted, these weren't progressive lenses, but they run specials quite often. You might get lucky.
Good question, I have been wondering the same thing. My husband has a prescription burning a hole in his pocket, but he hates spending the $200+ for new glasses at the Dr's office. He didn't this time, but he also hasn't filled the prescription in over a year! So I've taken over, but as a non-glasses wearer I feel even further in the dark about things. I don't know anything about glasses to begin with. Thanks for all the responses - I feel as though I will be informed enough to order some for him now (after he goes back for his exam this year haha).
Online glasses are a crap shoot at best, No one in China ( that's where your glasses are made) checks them when they are done. Who checks the Sphere, Cyl or Axis? If any of these are off, your vision is off and could give you major problems. I work in the Optical field, I deal with this everyday.
Progressive lenses.. who is measuring your seg hieght? No Dr Office or retail location will do that for you, because they need the ACTUAL frame there to make sure the center of your pupil is measured correctly.
On top of this, there are MANY types of prgressive lenses, some that are specific to your eyes. You may not be able to use plastic lenses, you may need Polycarb or Hi Index, it just depends on your RX. PLUS, if you go to a professional, they will make sure your glasses are correct before they give them to you.
Online is cheap, you get what you pay for, but I'm not gambling with my eyes
@mkentosh: Thanks for the great information. I didn't know most of that. I was thinking this morning to wait for a sale somewhere and then go.
I ordered a pair of progressives from Goggles4U, using a coupon code that was available at the time, for about $35 shipped. They are rimless, no-line bifocals without any added coatings. I've been wearing them daily for over 1 year now and they're holding up great.
However, you do have to do your own eye measurements, as @mkentosh noted. I was very lucky in that mine fit pretty much perfectly right out of the shipping envelope and I needed no adjustments, so I can't comment on their Customer Service Dept.
But, for me, $35 was well worth finding out whether or not I could get a decent pair of glasses online.
@jessiekaye: My plan was to get my RX and then have them take the measurements based on what I have now. I generally get the same basic size and style. I think you are right about being worth the $35 to give it a shot. How long did it take for you to get your glasses? I'm into immediate gratification which you can only get at Lens Crafters.
@minkeygirl7: what state do you live in, I can suggest a place
@minkeygirl7: Excellent! I received them in about 2 weeks, which I thought was pretty great, considering just about everything takes about 5 business days to ship these days. They may have offered some expedited shipping options for minimal additional fees, if I remember correctly. Still a bargain, in my opinion.
Good luck with your new glasses!
@murixbob: I know someone who gets all her glasses from zennioptical.com and loves them. They are cheap and I don't think she's ever had problems with them.
The best place to buy progressive online is definitely www.Visio-Rx.com. They have multiple tools on their website to help you take measurements of your face to ensure correct fitting. I highly recommend them.
@jessiekaye: I am thinking of just ordering frames online and then taking them to the optometrist of other outlet. In past Pearl tried to up sell me a different brand of lens for $900! And I've received glasses from a doctors office that were processed sideways! So, things can happen everywhere. Progressives are more difficult to fit b/c you need a larger frame to accommodate the changes.
You might want to consider LensFactory.com. LensFactory specializes in putting replacement lenses in your eyeglass frames. They offer single vision, bifocals and progressive lenses in clear and photochromic (the lenses that darken in the sun). The prices and quality are great, and the work is done in Louisville Kentucky.
I ordered my prescription lenses at fashionoptique.com I got them way cheaper than many stores in my area offered me. Took the lenses and my glasses to a local shop to insert them for another $20. The store looks new to the market but their prices on the lenses got me intrigued, paid with paypal-no worries in case of scam, 5 days later got my lenses with Crizal.Nice!
@mguel: You did see that this question is 4 years old and no longer relevant.

I am a programmer by profession and am looking for good text processors to help me with my blog writing. Word(MS/OpenOffice) has felt too clunky, because of the interruptions(corrections,formatting etc....) it throws up while writing..I tried out vim which is my workplace editor, and though it has been great in letting me think clear and write ,i just haven't been able to use it for efficient formatting... I am now looking for something that can combine both. Is there on you would recommend .I would prefer to do the formatting/rewriting from the keyboard, without having to go to the mouse.. but am flexible about that part. But i want something, that doesn't make me wait a few seconds while it's saving the text... (i.e: light and responsive) Any suggestions??
Update: I use Linux for all my work and don't have a Windows.. UPDATE 2: After trying out some of these, am going with vim itself and using latex for formatting. Only problem is that's fine for latex2pdf but otherwise wordpress supports only latex math package. Will need to find different blog host or try latex2html. will update once am done with that.

Dear Inherent Style,
Thank you for the heartwarming sincere comments.
It is very hard to believe that such a modern house would exist in 1922. It looks so modern, not much different from what we live in today. I was surprised to see how you actually incorporated Coco Chanel in this topic but I now understand. They both were radical and revolutionary in their makings and creations. They were like people from the distant future living amongst people in the present (or past for that matter). Thanks for sharing. I love understanding more about the history and the beginnings of the beautiful things that we still enjoy today and possibly appreciate more in the future.

What?? Yes hard to believe this is from 1922!!! I would die for a house like this (I would just 'fix up' the bedroom as, nope, am not too much of an avant-gardist for this).. or even just the chair and desk.. And so cool that they had this open door policy. They must have had an amazing life!

Wow. I think I've heard about this but have never seen pictures. So thank you for taking them! This is so far advanced for the 1920's. I'd guess 50's or 60's at the earliest. Weird!

text: I really don't know what to say when it comes to this lesson on "how to draw a Christmas skull", step by step. I wanted to make something cool enough for people to enjoy while keeping the Christmas spirit. The skull design is a regular concept. Some things I did different was drawing eyeballs in the skull's head, and I also gave the skull some skin tissue under and around the eyes. To make things really festive, I drew a candy cane to go straight through the skull's head as you can see here. You can choose any object to drive through the head. I thought a candy cane would make things interesting at the same time as being pretty snazzy. Anyways, enjoy drawing a Christmas skull folks and I will be back with more artistic fun for you all. Adios mi amigos!

Looking at the PDF of the manual for that line of TVs, it looks like there's a power saving mode (p 132) that turns off the backlight after 3 seconds -- which sounds exactly like what is happening to you. However, it is supposed to turn back on with any button press on the remote. But there's an "Energy Saving" button on the remote (up by the power button - maybe you hit it by accident last night?), so try pressing that thing repeatedly and see if it makes any difference.

Yes and yes...no go....
A friend who had a run of bad luck with failing flatscreens told me that the repair guy told him that only Sony supplies the parts to make it easy for independent techs to do repairs. I don't know if that's true or not; I do know he replaced his failing screens with Sonys and hasn't had a problem (of course there's still time...). I have a couple of relatives who've had Sony screens for several years without a problem also. There was a time when Sony seemed to be charging a premium for nothing more than their name, but perhaps you do now get something for the extra dollars when you buy their screens.wellsy1 wrote: I am not taking any more chances with TVs...I think all of them are made to break down, and to recover the low profits after selling them, force the purchase of the parts that are probably marked up 500%...
So to answer your question...yes I have extended warranty, so should everyone else when buying a TV these days.
Yeah, given all that, I'd be betting on hardware failure. Take advantage of that warranty.wellsy1 wrote:Tried all that, we use another universal remote for this TV anyways, but there was an energy saving feature and a backlight setting on the menu controls that I tried

Despite green-lighting the Cnooc-Nexen and Petronas-Progress deals, Canada's government also sent a clear warning signal to other state-owned enterprises, saying that any further deals for Canadian oil-sands assets would be approved only under "exceptional" circumstances.
By PAUL VIEIRA
OTTAWA -- The Canadian government late Friday approved more
than $20 billion worth of investment by foreign,
government-controlled energy companies in its energy patch, but
slammed the door shut on most other big deals in Canada's
oil-sands developments by state-owned enterprises.
Canada approved Cnooc Ltd.'s $15.1 billion takeover bid for
oil-sands operator Nexen, clearing one of the biggest hurdles
for the Beijing-based energy giant in completing what would be
China Inc.'s biggest foreign acquisition.
It is also the most ambitious bid by a foreign government-owned
entity so far to enter North America's booming energy
The deal, which already has won shareholder approval, still
needs US and British government sign-offs, since Nexen has
significant assets in those two jurisdictions.
But Friday's decision was Cnooc's biggest - and most closely
watched - obstacle. Canada long has welcomed big foreign
investment to help it develop its energy and mining resources,
but the Cnooc deal triggered a much broader government review
because of its size and Cnooc's status as a state-owned
Canada also said Friday it had approved the 5.18 billion
Canadian dollar (US$5.23 billion) proposed deal by Malaysia's
Petronas for Progress Energy. That deal was initially rejected
in October, but the government at the time said it would keep
the door open to a revised offer from Petronas.
"We are very pleased to have received Industry Canada's
approval, which recognizes the long term economic benefits for
Calgary, for Alberta, and for Canada in our proposed
acquisition of Nexen Inc." Cnooc chairman Wang Yilin said in a
Mr. Barry Jackson, chair of the Board of Nexen, said, "We
are pleased that the Government of Canada has recognized the
opportunities for Nexen's employees, stakeholders, communities
and projects that the proposed
transaction with Cnooc will present."
Representatives at the other two companies involved weren't
immediately available to comment.
Despite green-lighting these two deals, the government also
sent a clear warning signal to other state-owned enterprises,
saying that any further deals for Canadian oil-sands assets
would be approved only under "exceptional" circumstances, as
the government now sees further foreign-government involvement
in that sector as no longer of "net benefit" to Canada's
economy, its long-time litmus test to approval for foreign
"The government of Canada has determined that foreign-state
control of oil sands development has reached the point at which
further such [deals] would not be of net benefit to Canada,"
Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement.
Mr. Harper said the deal approvals shouldn't be seen as the
"beginning" of a trend but the "end of a trend."

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

Did you see that the option to Always Buy Fifteen has returned to shirt.woot?
After the site redesign, shirt.woot allowed the purchase of up to fifteen of a given item. The option was quickly removed, but it's returned!
The real reason I'm posting this question is to highlight @cowboydann's awesome Always Buy Fifteen blinged-out gif. I also liked @escapecar's suggestion. Too bad we can't have a deals.woot softball team!
4 Answers answer
They should allow you to buy 15 of any item and not limit it to just shirts.
Woot no longer sells out of products so why not? The deals are not that awesome that you have to prevent one person from buying your entire stock. In fact, if they let someone buy more, they might get rid of their crap so they don't have to keep reviving the same products over and over again.
@cengland0: Sometimes you are allowed to buy more than 3 of an item, in fact that is often the case in the woot plus deals I've noticed. I recently bought 10 packs of flashlights from a woot Plus sale and during a previous woot off bought either 10 or 12 packs of glowsticks (birthday party prep). Although just as frequently you are limited to three so it is hit or miss.
Now if they'd only offer a good reason to buy 15 ...
I didn't even do so for purple F.C., and from my recent bouts of insomnia and my attempt to combat it, adding to my collection so I have more shirts to count won't help either.

Is there a third dimension of numbers like real numbers, imaginary numbers, [blank] numbers?
Alas, there are no algebraically coherent "triplexes". The next step in the construction as has been said already are "quaternions" with 4 dimensions.
Many young aspiring mathematicians have tried to find them since Hamilton in the 19th century. This impossibility links geometric dimensionality, fundamental properties of polynomial equations, algebraic systems and many other aspects of mathematics. It is really worth studying.
A quite recent book by modern mathematicians which details all this for advanced college undergraduates is Numbers by Ebbinghaus, Hermes, Hirzebruch, Koecher, Mainzer, Neukirch, Prestel, Remmert, and Ewing.
However, the set of quaternions with zero real part is an interesting system of dimension 3 with very interesting properties, linked to the composition of rotations in space.
You may also find of interest some more general results besides the mentioned Frobenius Theorem. Weierstrass (1884) and Dedekind (1885) showed that every finite dimensional commutative extension ring of $\mathbb R$ without nilpotents ($\rm\:x^n = 0 \ \Rightarrow\ x = 0\:$) is isomorphic as a ring to a direct sum of copies of $\rm\:\mathbb R\:$ and $\rm\:\mathbb C\:.\:$ Wedderburn and Artin proved a generalization that every finite-dimensional associative algebra without nilpotent elements over a field $\rm\:F\:$ is a finite direct sum of fields. Such structure theoretic results greatly simplify classifying such rings when they arise in the wild. For example, I applied a special case of these results last week to prove that a finite ring is a field if its units $\cup\ \{0\}$ comprise a field of characteristic $\ne 2\:.\:$ For another example, a sci.math reader once proposed an extension of the real numbers with multiple "signs". This turns out to be a very simple case of the above results. Below is my 2009.6.16 sci.math post on this topic.
The results in Eitzen's paper Understanding PolySign Numbers the Standard Way, characterizing Tim Golden's so-called PolySign numbers as ring direct sums of $\mathbb R$ and $\mathbb C$, have been known for over a century and a half. Namely that $\rm\:P_n =\: \mathbb R[x]/(1+x+x^2+\:\cdots\: + x^{n-1})\ $ is isomorphic to a certain ring direct sum of $\:\mathbb R$ and $\:\mathbb C\:,\:$ is just a special case of more general results due to Weierstrass and Dedekind in the 1860s. These classic results are so well-known that you will find them mentioned even in many elementary textbooks on number systems and their generalizations. For example, in Numbers by Ebbinghaus et.al. p.120:
Ditto for historical expositions, e.g. Bourbaki's Elements of the History of Mathematics, p. 119:
Nowadays these fundamental results are merely special cases of more general structure theories for algebras that are part of any first course on algebras (but not always met in a first course on abstract algebra). A web search turns up more on the subsequent history, e.g. excerpted from
Y. M. Ryabukhin, Algebras without nilpotent elements, I,
and excerpted from its sequel
Y.M. Ryabukhin, Algebras without nilpotent elements, II,
Every finite-dimensional division algebra over $\mathbb{R}$ is one of $\mathbb{R}$, $\mathbb{C}$ or $\mathbb{H}$. This is what is called the Frobenius Theorem. You may refer to here for details.
You might look up quaternions.
In addition to complex numbers and quaternions, you might want to look up Clifford Algebras which encapsulate both and extend to arbitrary dimension. Complex and quaternios are sub-algebras of the Clifford Algebras over $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathbb{R}^3$ respectively.
Short Answer: No,
A lot of responses bring up the fact the next closed algebraic set are quaternions. But these aren't perfect since there is no problem to which Quaternions naturally arise as a solution:
For example we know $i$ naturally is formed as the solution to the previously unsolvable $\sqrt{-1}$ that being said all polynomials have roots in the complex plane so we are guaranteed no other such new algebraic unit (like) $i$ will be naturally formed.
Now I personally don't know of a theorem that says this CANNOT happen again. For example it could be that:
$$x^x = i$$ Or (if we define ${}^xx$ to mean tetration)
$${}^xx = i$$
Etc... following the pattern, may not have a solution in C. In that case we are now free to generate a new elementary unit $j$ however this elementary unit will be quite strange since it is associated with a higher operator so expressions such as:
$$j, j^2, j^3 ...$$
Are all unique and simplified, leading us to a now infinite dimensional system of numbers
So 3D is not possible, but I believe infinite dimensional is still possible.
Unless you like the unnatural creations that are the quaternions etc... (I only dislike them because of their lack of natural formation)
There are of course, examples of R3, in the form X, Y, Z, which behave as three separate real numbers, with an invarient when X -> Y -> Z -> X applies.
Such numbers turn up in the study of the heptagon and enneagon. The integer systems are discrete points forming a lattice in this space, the invariants cycle through the solutions to the heptagonal ($x^3-x^2+2x-1=0$) and enneagonal equations, which transforms eg {7} to {7/3} to {7/2}.
Such a projection converts an infinitely dense arrangemet of points onto a sparse lattice in three dimensions. That is, in $x,y,z$ form, there is a sphere of size where there are no more than one legitimate value. So if you evaluate a value even approximately in the three coordinates, it is possible to find the exact value.
One can, if one considers the span of numbers like $1.801937736$, $-1.2469796037$ and $0.445041867912$, which serve for the heptagon, the same role that $1.618033$ and $-0.618033$ do for the pentagon, then the cyclic rotation of this list will preserve multiplication relations, etc. eg suppose that the order is $p, q, r$ Now $p^2=2-q$ and $q^2=2-r$, and $r^2=2-p$. One notes that $p+q+r=p*q*r=1$. These $p$, $q$, $r$ are the solutions to the cubic $x^3-x^2-2x+1=0$ in much the same way that 1.618 and -0,618 solve $x^2-x-1=0$.
The product, for example of $ap+bq+cr$ and its transforms ($aq+br+cp$ and $ar+bp+cq$), is always an integer, speciffically the product of any of these: 7, cubes, and of primes of the form $7n+1$, $7n-1$.
Since one can suppose that there is a real hypercomplex plane, of the form of numbers $a+bj$, where $j=\sqrt{1}$. The conjucate is $a-jb$. The pentagonal numbers belong here. It features unit hyperbolae, and two 'real' axies, where the values which the value and its conjucates project onto.
And if one can do it meaningfully with two conjucates, it's possible with three, four, five, &c. I use such systems extensively when wrangling with polygons.
If you think of the dimensions for numbers as going real numbers (1st dimension), fuzzy numbers (2nd dimension), then the 3rd dimension ends up fuzzy numbers of dimension two. For more details see A. Kaufmann and M. M. Gupta's Introduction to Fuzzy Arithmetic or George and Maria Bojadziev's Fuzzy Sets, Fuzzy Logic, Applications.
