Simple question really how far do you take your real life dislike of teams? Would you ever manage your real life clubs biggest rival?
I doubt I would manage Newcastle but I would and have managed Middlesboro on an older FM.
Simple question really how far do you take your real life dislike of teams? Would you ever manage your real life clubs biggest rival?
I doubt I would manage Newcastle but I would and have managed Middlesboro on an older FM.
No, definitely not. I could possibly take managing Chelsea, but no way would I manage Arsenal or West Ham.
No way in hell I'd ever manage the joke that is Pompey. Wouldn't manage Juventus either, being a Viola fan.
I could manage Chelsea, but not Spurs.
I hate them and should see the Spurs thread
i have looked at managing Everton but couldnt bring myself to do it as its like committing the worst sin ever.
I'm a Palace supporter and our main rivals are Brighton, Millwall and Charlton. Probably would be able to manage Brighton or Charlton in a journeyman save, but would never ever manage Millwall. Hate them.
Short answer? No.
I've managed Arsenal, so yes. Good save too. It's fun managing your rival, and I've enjoyed doing it with Arsenal and trying to succeed. It's just a game FFS.
Chelsea looks like a good save too.
Nope, never managed Derby and never would. Have managed Leicester though.
no, would never manage Real Madrid, maybe if I just make a joke save where I ruin them and sell all the players for 1 euro and put Ronaldo in goal etc lol
This is a difficult one really. I support Manchester United and on FM2007 I was part of an online clan where I had to play as Manchester City, so I didn't really have a choice and i've played as them since, due to the fact the shame has already occured. Other than that I've managed Liverpool and put them into 100's of millions of debt, a very fun save
In short, I doubt I would have ever played as a rival properly if I hadn't been part of the online clan.
I am an LFC fan and would never/have never managed Everton and never will!! althought I am currently managing United on FM2008 :o although only because they are linked with the other team I'm doing Walsall!
I have in the past, and was very successful too.
Nah, Man Utd are scumbags and Barcelona are all actors.... That being the Leeds and Real Madrid fan in me, also would never manage the German's, the Argentines or Millwall.

Never going to manage Ajax, even refuse to buy players of them, even though they got quite a few decent ones.
Not a chance.
Nope would never manager Derby, but i would manage Notts County and Mansfield.
I know its just a game but to manage your rival's club and achieving success with them would be really awful
As a Man United fan, I feel weird managing any other English club. I will only manage United or any team from any other country except England.
I managed Everton as part of the Small Club to Big Club challenge.
Eeek. Nope. Being a West Ham fan, that means no Millwall, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea or Man Utd. Takes away options in the Prem.
no, i would never manage Man City (even though the ability to buy whoever you want is tasty) or loserpool
I definitely not
My true club is Rangers, I've never managed Celtic since I first started playing back in the mid 90's (only other Scottish team I've ever managed is Queen of the South). However, I've hat a soft spot for Spurs for 15 years or so and am currently managing Arsenal.
I'd definitely manage Man City, then I'll lose as many games as I can until I get fired, and then I'll just make another me (agent smith style!), takeover the fired me and lose as many games as I can before getting fired again! Keep at it until Man City go down as far as they can in tiers... Let's see how the sheikh like that! Rawr!
Nope. Would never ever manage Mansfield. Always like to start a lower division game with the mighty Gladiators (Matlock) and love it when i get to division with Mansfield in :-D
No, I couldn't manage Sheff Weds. It would make me feel all dirty inside!
I did for a little bit when Luton got that huge point deduction, to see if it was possible to keep them up. I can't remember what happened. I don't think I played a whole season
I did manage Liverpool once in FM11, just so i could sell all their best stars and buy a heap of crap players on big salaries for 5 years.....then resigned
I would never manage Inter or Juventus. But then again, i dont like managing topclubs.
Of course I could. Oddly enough I can easily discern between reality and a football game, and if I manager Chelsea and Terry scores off a corner, I don't think '**** I hate that guy', because in the world of football manager, John Terry isn't a person, he's an entry in a database. Some of the members here really need to get out more.
Barnsley at a push, never Leeds or Bradford though.
I support United and wouldn't dream of managing Man City, closest I would go for is probably Chelsea.
I have tried to, I just can't get into the save. Also I don't like managing in the premiership anyway
I don't 'dislike' rivals as such, but still wouldn't manage them as I feel it would go against my loyalties. That however extends to 'in-game' rivals, either long-standing rivals of past clubs in a career, or rivalries I've developed personally (those that tend to be a recurring pain), so it's not a case of 'bringing real life into the game'.
Yes. It's just a game.
I do actually quite like leading Spurs to ruination.
No, can't bring myself to do it as a Liverpool fan I have never and will never play as Everton, Tranmere, Man Utd, Man City.
I can deal with managing the London clubs. Bar Crystal Palace, but that's to do Brighton and Hove.
I wouldn't manage Milwall or Real Madrid.
The other team I wouldn't bother with is Man City. I never accept bids from any of the 3.
I even went so far to take over as their manager when they were bidding for my players. Well I thought it was fair.
Basically, my player had a Minimum Fee Release Clause. But also had a Match Highest Earner clause.
I signed another player, so he got a wage increase. Then Real Madrid put in the Min Release clause.
I wasn't able to offer my player a contract now, as he had just accepted a contract. He ended up joining Real Madrid.
I reloaded the game and took over as Real Madrid manager and stuck the new manager on holiday indefinitely. He got sacked 2.5 seasons later.
That's how much I don't want to sell to any of those 3. Any other team, I would have been fine with it.
Our rivals are Sunderland, and that's just such a boring proposition.
Surely the only people who manage teams like Sunderland are their own fans?
I don't think I could. It's bad enough wincing when I lose, if I had to wince every time I won as well FM would be pretty miserable.
Nope, it pains me to see Derby do well, even in a game.
I they paid me enough, i'd consider it.
No, I can barely tolerate to manage (for a while before moving on) Norwegian clubs I have nothing against, or clubs I even sort of like/respect... So the idea of managing Molde, Brann or VIF is completely out of question
No and always feel guilty when i buy a play who has played for the scum....i mean the ugly lot who call themselves Norwich
Once in a hotseat game back when you could only either play the English or Scottish leagues. Both of us are Rangers supporters and tossed a coin to see how would get to be them, needless to say I lost and went Celtic. Ended up dominating and had mixed emotions.
I would do that any time. My choice of club is solely influenced by what I as a manager would deem a good career move, so I look at the potential, the expectations and the current team of a club when making a decision.
This way I have for instance often managed WBA, Wolves and Villa which irl would probably a really strange mix of clubs...
That being said, I actually kind of stay away from the clubs I support irl to some extent. Knowing a team that well makes the fm experience feel unrealistic, as does selling your rl favourite players because they are not performing good enough in the game.
I just sold Tiote, Ba and Cabaye, which feels really weird.
But I also got a combined £35m for them, so I just couldn't turn it down.
I couldn't manage Charlton, not in a million years. The thought of even celebrating a goal/win/promotion, even in a fictitious version of them is horrible.
Up The Gills!
I've never managed or wanted to Manage Rangers, I don't even hire staff that have previously been at Rangers, would never buy any player who has ever played for Rangers! I wouldn't sell a player who played for a team I choose to manage just for that reason though. I've had Gatusso, Michael Ball and a few others in teams I've chosen to manage or teams I've taken over.
But to answer the original point; no. I wouldn't manage Newcastle.
As a United fan, I wouldn't manage any other PL team, nor Leeds. I have managed F.C. United of Manchester (am using them at the moment, actually), though. But that's stretching the word 'rivals' a lot.
No. On a normal savegame there are hundreds of clubs I could manage, there is no need for me to choose to manage Ipswich. Why would I? Even if I there isn't an available job in England I can always find one abroad and have some fun (or curse) with the bizarre (or plain idiotic) rules in a different league system.
United fan here. Never choose to manage United at the start, always try float around Europe and hope they offer me a job or my application is successful. Never is, eventually I get fed up and manage anytime in England. I have manager liverpool and chelsea with no issues.
I wouldn't start in the club I dislike, but if an offer comes through later I'd definitely take a job.
Short answer - NO WAY!
Chelsea or Sp*rs. Got nothing against their players (except Terry, Cole & Adebayor) but just can't do it. Tried with Spurs before but didn't care enough.
I started a journeyman save with the intent of getting the Inter job. I wanted to feel like I had earned it, and didn't want to manage the squad that Inter starts with (too familiar with them, plus many changes required). Managed Verona, Bologna, Cagliari, Ghana, and Serbia, and was offered... The Juventus job! It was just such a jump up in prestige and transfer budget and squad quality that I had to consider it. Ultimately the idea of a 30m transfer kitty when I had to make due with less than 3m up until then was too much to say no to. Still in charge some 20+ years later, and it is funny when I am happy that we have beat Inter, but hey, it was Inter's loss, Juve offered me the job at a time when Inter were successful, but since, Juve have become the top club in Europe, winning the last 5 Champions Leagues (no reloads either)!
I knew it was either or. I would never be able to go FROM Inter to Juve, or vice versa.
Not a chance in hell I would manage City or Liverpool. When I do a save I need to get a buzz out of the team I'm managing, it just wouldn't happen managing these two. Plus I don't like them very much.
Never. I've not even managed any other Scottish team before either.
I'm a Bristol City fan and I have never managed the blue few. Never will. Sometimes get tempted to give Cardiff a go but always think better of it.
I would never do a save with Lazio, and I would probably find it difficult to play any Italian club other then the one I support, on the other hand I could see myself playing Real Sociedad at some point, but its not the same kind of rivalry and hatred
Not a chance. The Newcastle job has come up a couple of times, and looked tempting, but I just couldn't imagine myself having the same will of wanting to do well. I've never even considered Sunderland, but that would almost certainly be a no too.
No - being a Gunner - no Spurs, Chelsea, West Ham, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City, Stoke (or most English teams for that matter) and none of the teams that are rivals to my old local side Stevenage - so no Luton, Cambridge, Woking, Barnet
I mainly support Athletic Club, Houston Dynamo, and Tottenham.
Wouldn't manage FC Dallas.
Wouldn't manage Real Madrid, but wouldn't have an issue managing any other Basque team (Athletic is friendly with most lower Basque teams and the Real Sociedad rivalry doesn't really involve a lot of anger or hatred).
I would have no big issues managing Arsenal- yeah, I'm a Spurs supporter but I do admire Arsene Wenger. Maybe it helps that I'm not English. I hate Chelsea and the Manchester clubs, though.
No i would never manage sunderland, im always happy to see them crash and burn (but i do like having them in the prem for a guarenteed 6 points a season). I might manage middlesboro as to be honest ive always seen them as really weak rivals. But i couldnt bear too manage sunderland.
Already managed Man Shi*ty
It's just a game.
Can can't ever see myself managing Mexico City Victory, Mexico City Heart, or the Brisvegas Roar.
I'd only manage Inter if I want to take them to Serie B.
Liverpool fan here, and no way I would manage Manchester United.
Everton? Maybe. I'm not from Merseyside (or England :P ) so the local rivalry doesn't mean so much.
In an older version before the board had as much influence as they do over transfers, I started out as manager of my own team, Sunderland but left after about ten seasons to take on a new challenge with Hartlepool. Got them to the brink of the Premier League when the Newcastle job came up. Took the job and ran the club into the ground, quite literally. Sold all their better players for as little as I could and replaced them with nobodies for mega transfer fees, long contracts and enormous salaries.
Needless to say I got sacked after my second relegation in successive seasons.
Played another Newcastle game in 2010, but that was mainly to test out some tactics and training regimes as much as anything else.
Would I do it again ... well as someone said above, only supporters of Sunderland would play their own club, well; to throw a question back to Newcastle fans what challenge is there in playing Newcastle in reality, probably about the same as playing Sunderland. There was another comment about managing Sunderland being boring, well if you have a strong dislike for a club, you are not going to give it 100% - but then again it is only a game and not reality.
Much prefer Lower League stuff anyway.
I have (Sheffield Wednesday) and failed.. wasn't sure if i was happy with my record or not.
I would sooner burn my computer in a wheely bin than manage Celtic in Football Manager.
I'm a Chelsea fan but I've managed Tottenham,Arsenal,Manchester United and West Ham.Although I managed all of those clubs on fm11 in a save in which I had managed 26 clubs... by 2016. I won everything with England though,so i kept getting jobs.)
I could deal with managing Arsenal. Of course, I would fine players who score against Spurs
I have managed Huddersfield (They are nothing to us)
Would never manage......... Beeston (L**Ds United) or Burnley (The Dingles)
No absolutely not. Would rather manage an obsure African team.
Then again, I might be tempted to destroy Plymouth...
On a journeyman save I managed Leeds because in real life if I was offered the job I'd take it if the Hull job wasn't available.
Other than that, hell no.
I can't believe how much hatred there is in this thread
Just like real life, its only a game.
Yes, on FM09 I managed Liverpool for 5 seasons. Was very enjoyable
Could possibly stretch to Man U or Sjoke, but absolutely not under any circumstances Man City or Burnley.
As for the rest - Oldham, Bury, Macclesfield, Rochdale etc, they aren't really our rivals, so yes.
I did idly speculate about what sort of challenge managing Luton would be given their recent woes, but I couldn't bring myself to actually do it.
Never. I reckon if I did I wouldn't be able to sleep and would need to constantly take showers to rid the disease.
I remember some charity thing ages ago, where you wear your rival teams top to raise funds for charity. Not a chance.
Other clubs I like and support then no worries but not my true club.
Only thing I'll never do: Play with River Plate or buying players who play or played for them.
They just can burn in hell or in second division
It's a game, I have no qualms about managing the my clubs rivals.
I am a Manchester United fan, could see myself managing Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool but not Manchester City.
As a Spurs fan, i would never in a million years mangage Arsenal, Chelsea or West Ham. I could not bring myself to try to do well with them, it would be the least enjoyable thing I could do on it and a complete waste of time !
Could never manage Hearts, hate them so much couldnt do it

Fraudsters Are Exploiting New Health Law
One Con: Telling Medicare Beneficiaries They Must Choose New Plans
During the past year, scams tied to Medicare have risen sharply as con artists have sought to exploit confusion among older individuals about the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.
Now, with Medicare's open-enrollment season in full swing, consumer advocates say beneficiaries—and the adult children who advise them—should be on guard for swindles and steer clear of unsolicited requests for personal financial information.
In the months preceding the Oct. 1 opening of the state-based health-insurance exchanges, consumer complaints about Medicare—many alleging fraud—soared. In September alone, consumers filed almost 2,000 such complaints with the Federal Trade Commission, up from 57 in January 2012. An additional 58 complaints filed this year have mentioned the ACA, up from two in 2012.
The trend has prompted the FTC and nonprofit organizations—including the National Consumers League, the Better Business Bureau and the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud—to issue warnings in recent months about health-care scams that target the elderly.
Lois Greisman, associate director of the FTC's Division of Marketing Practices, says the recent wave of publicity over changes in the health-care system and confusion among consumers over the ACA may be contributing factors. "With confusion comes opportunity for fraudsters," she says.
According to a recent survey of 1,101 people by Express Scripts, a St. Louis-based pharmacy-benefits management company, a significant portion of Medicare recipients has misconceptions about the ACA. While there have been no changes to Medicare's annual open-enrollment procedures, 20% of Americans age 65 and over incorrectly believe they can enroll in Medicare through one of the new state-based health-insurance exchanges, which actually cater to individuals under 65. Seventeen percent believe exchange-based policies are replacing Medicare, according to the survey.
Among the survey's respondents, 10% say they or someone they know has been the victim of a health-care fraud. Ms. Greisman says in many instances, con artists claim—falsely—that the ACA requires Medicare beneficiaries to buy a new policy or Medicare card. Often, they pose as a representative of Medicare or an insurer and ask for personal financial information, such as a Social Security or bank-account number.
David Lipschutz, a policy attorney at the nonprofit Center for Medicare Advocacy, says Medicare employees "as a rule" don't contact beneficiaries. He says Medicare rules prohibit most insurers, brokers and agents from initiating contact with Medicare beneficiaries.
Advocates say consumers shouldn't divulge any information to unsolicited callers or visitors and should be skeptical of Caller ID, which can be manipulated. Those who are approached should file complaints with the FTC (ftc.gov/ftc/contact.shtm), local law enforcement, and their state's attorney general and insurance department, says John Breyault, a vice president of public policy at the National Consumers League. They can also call the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging's new fraud hotline at 855-303-9470.
During Medicare's annual open-enrollment period, which started on Oct. 15 and ends on Dec. 7, beneficiaries can make changes to their coverage. Those who wish to enroll in or switch plans can go to medicare.gov or call 1-800-633-4227. Free counseling is available through the nonprofit State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIPtalk.org).

Several accidents on I-65 due to ice have slowed traffic.
It's happening around the Kentucky-Tennessee state line.
Police say they momentarily shut down that stretch of highway to allow for salt trucks to clear the roads.
It has since been reopened, but delays may continue.
No severe accidents have been reported.
WBKO is waiting on more information regarding the full extent of the accidents.

FLAGSTAFF — The state attorney general's office says it will file a cross appeal Monday in the case of a self-help author imprisoned for the deaths of three people in a sweat lodge ceremony he led.
The Arizona Court of Appeals set the deadline after granting three requests for an extension and threatened to sanction a state prosecutor if the latest deadline isn't met.
Attorneys for James Arthur Ray are seeking to have his conviction on three counts of negligent homicide overturned or a new trial. The appeal alleges violations of state law in jury instructions and prosecutorial misconduct.
Trial prosecutor Sheila Polk has said monetary sanctions imposed on the prosecution, a ruling that her office broke disclosure rules and the preclusion of some witnesses would be among the challenges in the cross appeal.

I'm trying to do my Maths assignment but I can't get this done. I can do other questions but this one is different. This is a picture of the question.
My usual first step is to proof it when n = 1. But the problem is, that I don't know what x is. It says x is not equal to 1, but I still don't know what to do next.
Thank you.

Why are the stroke orders for 右 and 左 different?
右 starts with the vertical stroke, and 左 starts with the horizontal one.
Why are the stroke orders for 右 and 左 different?
右 starts with the vertical stroke, and 左 starts with the horizontal one.
It has to do with the stroke order of the part underneath it. For this example, I'll refer to 左 as ナ and エ, and 右 as ナ and ロ. For 左、 since the first stroke of the underneath part (the エ) is horizontal, the ナ is started with the horizontal stroke. For 右, since the first stroke of the ロ is vertical, the ナ is also started vertically.
Similarly for 有 and 布. Since 月 and 巾 both start vertically, the ナ also starts vertically. Can't think of anymore off the top of my head where the ナ starts horizontally. But the rule is to look to the first stroke underneath the ナ.
Left side of those two words are different originally
There is some meaning that shorter stroke mean 手のひら "Palm", longer one is 腕 "arm".
Normally, shorter stroke which mean "手のひら" write first most of the time, so according to original kanji, 右 "Right" need to write a vertical slant stroke first and 左 "Left" need to write horizonal stroke first.
Although the modern characters are very similar, they show a remarkable difference when written in seal script. Since the short stroke representing the hand is drawn first, and the hands are on the corresponding sides of the character, the stroke drawn from the character's meaning to the opposite (e.g. from left to right on 左) is drawn first.
(Yes, I admit it. I lifted this from Tomehane. It's a must read for those interested in calligraphy.)

Several times now, when friends have been editing my mathematical writing, they have pointed out instances where I began a sentence with a mathematical symbol, such as $X$, or $a\in A$, etc. This is the sort of thing that never struck me as inherently bad writing, since it is often exactly how I would speak the sentence aloud. However, I can also see their point, in that a sentence beginning with a mathematical symbol can look a little weird (especially when it starts with a lowercase letter), and doesn't quite read the same as a sentence beginning with an English word.
However, now that I have been trying to avoid doing this, more and more I find myself writing awkward sentences to avoid the most natural way of speaking, and I can't quite decide if I am increasing or decreasing the quality of my writing.
Do people have strong opinions on this? Do people have tricks for dealing with this, besides a succession of empty and synonymous clauses ("Thus", "Then", "Therefore", "We find", "Looking at"...)?

A TOUR involving such railroad sites as The Great Stone Viaduct in Bellaire and Roseby's Rock in West Virginia is scheduled Sunday, Dec. 16, between 1 and 6 p.m.
The Great Stone Viaduct Historical Education Society will sponsor the local bus tour, and transportation will be provided by Ohio Valley Regional Transit Authority buses that will travel to Bellaire and the Great Stone Viaduct; Grave Creek and Roseby's Rock; and Wheeling to the former Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Station that today houses West Virginia Northern Community College.
The local bus tour is a part of the mission of the GSV Society to keep alive the history of the Ohio Valley and to encourage the study of local history. The bus trip is open to members of the GSV Society and to the general public .The cost of a ticket is $20 for charter members of the society and $25 to non-members. A sack lunch will be provided to all passengers.

THE GREAT Stone Viaduct in Bellaire was opened to railroad traffic in 1871, and it still is in use. Its sandstone piers rise in varying heights 10-20 feet above the streets, and its 43 stone arches are supported by 37 ring stones intended to symbolize a united Union consisting of 37 states, according to the nearby historical marker. The viaduct will be part of a Dec. 16 tour focusing on important railroad sites in the Ohio Valley.
December is an important month of the year for the former Baltimore & Ohio Railroad since on Christmas Eve in 1852, the B&O completed its iron road from Baltimore to Wheeling, Va.
The track was closed at a point along Grave Creek in Marshall County, thus connecting the Tidewater to the Ohio River after 25 years of difficult construction over the Allegheny Mountains. Some 20 years later, the B&O would cross the Ohio River between Benwood and Bellaire and would expand westward to the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River.
At the height of its glorious past, the B&O would build the grand railroad station in Wheeling in the first decade of the 20th century, and it now houses the West Virginia Northern Community College. The structure is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The tour will visit the site of the Great Stone Viaduct at Bellaire, and the GSV Society trustees will explain the significance of this structure which is still in active use today carrying the railroad traffic of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad and CSX.
The viaduct itself consists of 43 sandstone arches passing from Union Street to Rose Hill.
The group also will tour the site of the track closing of the B&O at Roseby's Rock some 160 years ago. The iron rails were abandoned some years ago, but the massive "Rock"with its famous engraving is still visible to those who know how to find it. Interesting presentations will be made by GSV Society trustees about this famous site.
The final leg of the trip will be the former B&O station in Wheeling. This magnificent structure was built over a century ago, yet continues today to influence the lives of residents of the Ohio Valley.
Attorney Daniel Frizzi of the Great Stone Viaduct group advises those interested in the tour to "charge the batteries in their cameras, pick out a comfortable pair of shoes and warm clothes, and mail a reservation to GSV Society, P.O. Box 129, Bellaire, Ohio 43906-0129. Anyone interested in joining this trip should contact the GSV Society by email at GSV email@example.com, telephone at (740) 676-2743, or visit the website of the GSV Society at www.greatstoneviaduct.org to request information.

After singletons, twins, triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets, septuplets, and octuplets, what comes next?

We don't often need it, but the word is nonuplet.
Next after that comes decuplets, who according to the Guinness Book of World Records were born at Bacacay, Brazil on April 22, 1946. (I must admit I'm somewhat sceptical).
It's hard to be dogmatic about the spelling of a word that probably doesn't make it into many (if any) 'authoritative' dictionaries, but I will just say that - Wikipedia notwithstanding - I don't have much time for decaplets. Here's an NGram showing that not many others do either (in fact, there are 5 instances of decaplet in the NGram corpus, as opposed to 2450 decuplets).
Nonuplets. There doesn't seem to be any record of decaplets, undecaplets, dodecaplets, etc.
Next is nonuplets followed by decaplets. I'm pretty sure there are no recorded decaplet births, let alone greater.
Update: After further investigation, I came across this image on Wikimedia Commons:

You'll find that the slim contour provides excellent maneuverability. The super-tough chrome-moly steel provides superior bar-body strength and tough rails with excellent resistance to wear and chipping. On the inside there is the Lubri-Dam oil-retaining feature which prevents oil from running out of the bar's tail and keeps more oil on the bar and chain.Note: Pro 91 bars only run low profile chainsaw chain.

I once heard from a Sofer the shocking revelation that Rabbeinu Tam's Tefillin do not actually follow Rabbeinu Tam's opinion. Is that correct? Did I misunderstand? Are there any Soferim in our forum who are not only intimately familiar with how "Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin" are made, but also intimately familiar with Rabbeinu Tam's actual, written Shittah?

Rabenu Tam (as cited in paragraph 6 of the Rosh's laws of sefer Tora) holds that ink made of gallnuts (which we use even in 'his' t'filin) is no good.
Also, Rabenu Tam (as cited in Tosafos to M'nachos 33:1 s.v. "Ha daavida") holds the parchments must be lying flat in their case, and we put them upright (per SA OC 32:45), and even in 'his' t'filin.
In addition Rabeinu Tam holds (see Bais Yosef (3rd from top)) that the word Letotofos in the Parsha Vehaya Im Shomo'a is written without any Vov while we write it with a Vov after the first Tes even in Rabeinu Tam's Tefillin.

I can't find a good reason that this application must always be running on my phone. However, it starts at boot and I'm constantly getting error traces in Logcat about the Ebay application.
Why does this application start at boot?
Well it starts because that's how dev coded it.
You can try programs like startup manager that will kill the program once it starts.

I'm reading Illusie's book "complexe de cotangent et Deformations I". And I'm puzzled on the definition of cotangent complex.
I formulate my question as follows:
Suppose $C$ and $D$ are abelian categories, and $F:C \to D$ is a functor. I would like to consider its left-derived functor $LF$. There are two ways:
(1) $C$ embedded into $K(C)$ ,the homotopy category of complexes in $C$, and denote the left-derived functor of F as $L^1F$, so you calculate $L^1F$ by resolution of chain complexes.
(2) $C$ embedded into $sC$, the category of simplicial objects in C, and denote the left-derived functor of F as $L^2F$, so you calculate $L^2F$ by resolution of simplicial objects.
then, my question is:
for any object $X$ in $C$, what is the relation ship with $L^1F(X)$ and $L^2F(X)$? Is there any relation like Dold-Kan?
then what is the reason for the defition of cotangent complex to use simplicial resolution? Is it simply because there is no left-derived functor for the Kahler differential functor if I embed the category $C$ into $K(C)$?
Appreciate very much!

Got mine - apparently most stores only have one copy left. After I ordered mine, the store now shows unavailable.
Yesssss!!!! Got mine!
link does not work for me (it's a work computer thing not a posting thing) and I cannot find deal via the website when I try to do it on my own. can anyone post the link in the comments to see if htta works for me?
@natedogg828: The SKU is 3699098. Try typing that into the search box. It's not dead yet - I see one location near me in IL that still has it.
@omnichad: thanks, that worked
No problem at all getting mine in Colorado Springs.
Here's what it looked like. Picked mine up over lunch. It's a box with a pull-out cardboard folio with 2 disc jewels on each side. Really, not bad for $4.99.
also it's going for $25.99 at the mothership
And it does have the Christmas special, too.
Got mine. Awesome deal.
I think Kenosha Wisconsin might still have some.
Awesome, I'd been looking to use the remaining $8 on an old gift card without spending additional cash, I got this and some candy!

Eating Well During Lung Cancer Treatment
Last Modified: January 7, 2013
My son is being treated for lung cancer. He is surviving on crackers. I just want to help him eat to keep up his strength. What advice do you have to maybe improve his appetite or make foods that won't make him nauseous, hurt his sore throat from radiation or that he might think tastes good?
Valaree Williams, MS, RD, LDN, Registered Dietician at Penn Medicine responds:Eating well during treatment can be a challenge, especially with balancing multiple side effects of treatment. To improve appetite, it is recommended to eat small, frequent meals 5-6 times daily on a schedule rather than waiting for hunger to cue eating a meal. Serving small meals will prevent your family member from feeling overwhelmed and even if only a few bites are eaten, a few bites can add up over the day. If appetite remains poor, you could discuss with the physician the option of adding an appetite stimulant medication.
Bland foods (think white foods) are best for nausea; think toast, cereal, ramen noodles, broth, soup, scrambled eggs, yogurt, noodles, rice, plain chicken or fish, tea, ginger ale. Add more variety of foods as nausea improves. Nausea often worsens on an empty stomach; small, frequent meals may help.
For swallowing difficulties due to radiation, keep foods soft and moist. Foods such as casseroles, soups, stews, hot cereals, yogurt, pudding, jello, eggs, chicken salad, milkshakes, ice cream, and popsicles are well tolerated, just to name a few.
Consider adding peanut butter, cream cheese, or jelly to the crackers and trying other starchy foods as these are often well tolerated. High calorie and high protein beverages such as Ensure, Boost, Carnation Instant Breakfast, whole milk, chocolate milk, milkshakes and smoothies can be great for poor appetites, sore throats, and queasy stomachs.

I bought my first cordless impact driver at a time when few people had one, so it got a lot of attention whenever I brought it on site. Since then, this type of tool has become so common it would be hard to find a tradesperson who did not immediately recognize its distinctive chattering sound.
Impact drivers drive with more power than comparable drill/drivers and produce less torque reaction – that is, they're less likely to twist against your hand when under load. They're also less likely to strip out the heads of fasteners, because the impacting action keeps the bit engaged. You can use impact drivers to drill holes, but most people use them for driving fasteners.
For this article my crew and I tested 18 lithium-ion impact-driver kits. Some companies sell the same tool in two kits – each with different batteries – and in such cases we tested both versions. We used all the drivers for several months, trading them around so that everybody had experience with each one.
Since I build decks and do remodeling, I mainly drive smaller screws; it would be unusual for me to deplete a lithium-ion battery in the 30 to 60 minutes it takes to charge the spare. In most cases I can work until lunch, swap batteries in and out of the charger, and then work uninterrupted the rest of the day. If the work you are doing is so intense you outpace the charger – say you're driving big lags and bolts in rapid succession – then it makes sense to go for a tool with great runtime or switch to a corded model.
Bosch, DeWalt, Hilti, and Milwaukee offer two battery options per tool: five-cell compact batteries and 10-cell full-size batteries. The compact batteries are smaller and lighter, but the full-size batteries have greater runtime (roughly twice as much). If I had to settle on one type of battery, I'd go with a full-size model, because it would work better with the larger cordless tools (circular saws and recip saws) in that manufacturer's lineup.
The author tested runtime by driving 3-1/2-inch lags into Parallam material until the tool's batteries were depleted.
We got a pretty good sense of how much work the tools could do per charge by using them in the field. But to put actual numbers on their performance, we also tested the tools in the shop by driving 3-1/2-inch Simpson SDS screws unpiloted into Parallam material until the batteries were depleted. We drove fasteners in groups of 10 so the tools would not overheat, then repeated the test with a new battery.
Since Parallam is very dense, we tested again in Douglas fir with a few of the tools. We found that on average, the impact drivers will drive 25 percent more fasteners in solid lumber than in Parallam. We also measured driving speed, by timing how long it took to sink lags in Parallam material. The results of the runtime and timed driving tests can be found in the tables below.

10 Stress-Busting Tips from Moms Like You
10 of 11
Treat Yourself to Bath Time
Put away the kids' squirty toys. Take a soothing bubble bath after everyone else has gone to bed. No time for bath time? Buy a pretty-smelling face wash to use at the end of every day. Water can help wash away a stressful day.
One mom says: "A bath is great when you can keep the kids at bay. Play some quiet music. Add a few drops of essential oil, such as jasmine or rose, which you can find for a few dollars at a health food store. It's very relaxing!"

5 Things You Won't Believe Math Can Predict
#2. How New Drugs Will Affect People
One reason why it takes so long for new drugs to hit the market is that you have to test the shit out of them -- for instance, Viagra was created in 1989, but didn't come to market until almost a decade later. You just can't predict how a drug is going to react with the insanely complex pile of chemical reactions that make up the human body; you can only test it and hope for the best. What cures cancer in mice may give a human accidental superpowers. You just don't know until you try.
But imagine if we could take everything your body does, from regulating blood to fighting infections and more, and turn all of those into math equations. Theoretically, we could run human trials on new drugs without actually having to dig up volunteers willing find out firsthand if the new flu vaccine causes them to start pissing peanut butter.
"Damn you, Flintstones vitamins."
Mathematician David Eddy has laboriously gathered all the human medical data that he could and created a theoretical math person that he calls Archimedes. Of course, he needed to see whether it would react like a real human being, so he recreated a real trial for a diabetes drug. When the results came out, it was revealed that Eddy's program, a soulless black box full of hidden equations, was able to predict two of the principal findings from the study exactly. Which means that he was literally able to reduce an expensive and risky seven-year trial to numbers and bypass the whole "feed people drugs and see what happens to them" process.
And in case you're protesting that people can't be replaced by math so easily, Eddy didn't forget the human element. His Archimedes program took into account factors such as age and blood pressure, as well as fickle human flaws, such as the tendency for people to forget their pills once in a while.
"... Shit."
Of course, this doesn't mean that we'll be replacing human trials with computers anytime soon, because putting our health in the hands of HAL 9000 is still kind of frightening, and the equation doesn't work well enough to completely replace tests on real people. But, as it stands, Eddy's work is at the very least a supplementary tool for researchers to cut down the cost and risk factor of expensive human trials. And if the occasional person still develops Hulk powers from a routine trial, then more power to them.
#1. How to Keep a Crowd of People from Trampling Each Other
OK, imagine the most chaotic situation involving humans possible. You're probably thinking of a riot, or a big panicked crowd in a screaming stampede. You'll see horrific stories on the news of people being trampled every few years, like the 1979 Who concert tragedy, the Hillsborough football disaster of 1989, and more recently, the 2010 Love Parade concert in Germany that failed to live up to its name in a terrible way. How the hell is math going to help you understand the mindless insanity of a mob?
But some math geeks who study crowd dynamics did an intensive investigation of the Love Parade tragedy and found that the culprit wasn't really panic and stampeding at all, but something they're calling crowd quakes. And they are very predictable.
They're usually caused by the first three chords of an Ataris song.
When people are packed into a certain density ("about seven persons per square meter," according to the study), they no longer act as individual, sentient human beings, but as a fluid, or particles in a compressed gas. Remember, when the place is packed that tight, you are in the crowd, but you can't see the crowd -- all you're looking at is the Lynyrd Skynyrd T-shirt of the fat guy six inches in front of you. You are going to move in the direction you are shoved. A guy bumps into you from behind, so you hug the guy in front of you. He edges up, and this series of gentle pushes multiplies until somebody at the front of the crowd is literally being suffocated.
That's what it's all about: pressure. If you build pressure in a container of steam, it tries to escape. If you invade the personal space of thousands of humans, they try to do the same. So managing a crowd is the same as managing steam: You do the math about how many "valves" you need and where to put them to decrease the pressure. Other suggestions include altering the shape of the "container" -- keeping the flow of traffic circular, and going in one direction. When the crowd tries to pass through itself going in opposite directions, that's when you exceed the critical density at which horrible things happen.
Like being smashed up against this dude's sweaty nacho balls.
So, yeah, it's kind of insulting to know that science calculates our behavior similar to how it would calculate the ability of poop to move through a sewer line. But we suppose it's fine as long as it gets us out of the goddamned concert alive.

Everyone knows how easy it is to fall out of the fitness routine. Once the New Year's and Lent resolutions are wearing off, lots of people lose the motivation to keep going. So, why not cash in on the momentum of Derby and restart your resolve to get fit with these five tips? Your ultimate goal: to get back on track and have fun with fitness.
Acquire Accessories
Everyone loves new stuff. This year I bought a new bike – and I rode twice as much as I normally would. Get some new workout clothes, shoes or heart rate monitor watch. Then put them to use.
Turn It Up
Who doesn't like cranking it to the "Rocky" soundtrack? Imagine the last mile of your run and you see a monster set of stairs and the theme song "Eye of the Tiger" comes on. How much harder are you going to run the steps? Maybe Rocky doesn't motivate you. So find out what music does. Then, create a play list on your iPod and start cranking it.
Get Out There
Take your workout outside. We have been fortunate enough this year to have an amazing spring. Grab some exercise bands and take your workout outside. Your neighbors will watch you in envy. OK, they may wonder what you're doing, but that may compel them to get outside themselves, and that, just being outdoors, gets us engaged in physical activity. Play with the kids in the backyard, walk your dog or jog in the park. Another major benefit to being outside is the absorption of Vitamin D, which prevents osteoporosis, depression, cancer, and even can positively affect diabetes and obesity.
Challenge Yourself
Two different challenges I like are the 100 Day Challenge and the Age Challenge. In both cases, pick an exercise that you either enjoy or one that you think you need to do more of but don't really enjoy. In the 100 Day Challenge, begin day one with 1 rep of the exercise. On day two, do 2 reps, day three you perform 3 and so on. In the Age Challenge, you pick an exercise and perform the number of reps equal to your age every day. The older you get the stronger you'll get.
Be Accountable
Get a group of friends together who all want to be healthier or just plain feel better. Download the app Endomondo to your phone. You can log and track all of your exercises You can also invite your friends to view your progress and vice versa. The next time you're out on a run, all of your friends who are linked up can view how far you went and how long it took you. Best part, the app is designed for all types of exercises, not just running.
Find Your Fun
Look for reasons to get fit that combine fun with fitness, friends and philanthropy. You're less likely to back out if you cover every base – and those are four great reasons right there.
One of my favorites is an upcoming event at ProFormance Fitness. Join us on Saturday, May 12, from 10 a.m. to noon for Zumba for a Cause. A suggested $10 donation gets you on the Zumba dance floor and there will also be a silent auction.
All proceeds go to the Kids Center, which provides services to kids with developmental delays and disabilities. The center serves infants through young adults. Attend and you can get that much closer to your fitness goal while helping us raise money for an excellent organization.
ProFormance is located at 2041-A River Road in Louisville. For more information, call 502.895.3472 or go to www.proformanceresults.com.

In 2004 he made his feature film debut with Michael Cunningham's A Home at the End of the World, which won the National Board of Review Award for Excellence in Filmmaking, Best Film at the Provincetown Film Festival and was nominated for the GLAAD Award for Outstanding Film. He is currently preparing to shoot the feature film of American Idiot. In the spring of 2011, Mayer directed the pilot of "Smash" for DreamWorks and NBC. He continued with the series as Consulting Producer and director of several episodes. He will make his Metropolitan Opera debut in January 2013 with a new production of Rigoletto. Mayer was a Teaching Artist at Lincoln Center Institute, and has been a faculty member and guest director at NYU, Fordham University, Yale University and The Juilliard School.
Former Artistic Director of the Guthrie Theater and Associate Director of Yale Repertory Theater, ALVIN EPSTEIN has performed leading roles in more than a hundred plays, including works by Pirandello, Shakespeare, Anouilh, Shaw, Orton, Chekhov, Brecht, Moliere, Shaw and the ancient Greeks. Known for his dedication to the works of Samuel Beckett, he created Lucky in the American premiere of Waiting for Godot and Clov in the American premiere of Endgame and then returned to the play as Hamm at the Irish Repertory Theater in New York, followed by a new production as Nagg at the Brooklyn Academy opposite John Turturro (as Hamm) and Elaine Stritch (as Nell). On Broadway, Epstein performed with Marcel Marceau and Company, and played The Fool to Orson Welles' King Lear, Peachum in The Threepenny Opera with Sting, and in A Kurt Weill Cabaret, in which he later toured North and South America. His off-Broadway credits include Hamlet for Theater for a New Audience, Tuesdays with Morrie, The Madwoman of Chaillot, King Lear (title role), Dynamite Tonite (for which he won an Obie Award), and Howard Katz opposite Alfred Molina at the Roundabout Theater.

Epstein has also been seen in feature films and television dramas, has directed plays around the country, and has taught at the American Repertory Theater Institute in Cambridge.
The Distinguished Alumni Award will be presented to EUGENIA L. O'BRIEN (BFA, Dance, '73), founder and director of The Portland (Maine) Ballet. She has performed with Movement Laboratory, Concert Dance Company, Boston Dance Theater, and represented the U.S. at the International Academy of Dance, Portugal. O'Brien completed the Academic Classical Ballet course with Egon Bischoff at the International Ballet School in Jackson, MS and attended the 2006 Balletto Internazionale Americano-Adriatico Teacher's Seminar in Ascoli Piceno, Italy. Recognizing that arts and academics should not be mutually exclusive, O'Brien entered Portland School of Ballet into partnership with Portland High School (a National School of Excellence) in 1994 to create CORPS (Collaboration-Outreach-Responsibility-Performance-Scholars), a performing arts high school program. The nationally recognized program offers serious high school dancers the opportunity to train three hours each day at Portland School of Ballet while earning transcript credit in Health, Physical Education and Fine Arts from their academic high school. O'Brien also promotes dance education through City Dance, which sends instructors into public schools, and youth concerts. Always creating collaborative opportunities, she has worked with Easter Seals Maine to establish an Adaptive Dance Program as another avenue to share movement, and is currently working to expand that program into coursework at the University of New England.

Difference between java.sql.Time, java.sql.Timestamp and java.sql.Date is most common JDBC question appearing on many core Java interviews. As JDBC provides three classes java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time and java.sql.Timestamp to represent date and time and you already have java.util.Date which can represent both date and time, this question poses lot of confusion among Java programmer and that's why this is one of those tricky Java questions which is tough to answer. It becomes really tough if differences between them is not understood correctly. We have already seen some frequently asked or common JDBC questions like why JDBC has java.sql.Date despite java.util.Date and Why use PreparedStatement in Java in our last tutorials and we will see difference between java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time and java.sql.Timestamp in this article. By the way apart from these JDBC interview questions, if you are looking to get most from JDBC you can also see 4 JDBC performance tips and 10 JDBC best practices to follow. Those article not only help you to understand and use JDBC better but also help on interviews. Let's come back to difference sql time, timestamp and sql date.
Difference between java.sql.Time, java.sql.Timestamp and java.sql.Date:
JDBC in Java has three date/time types corresponding to DATE, TIME and TIMESTAMP type of ANSI SQL. These types are used to convert SQL types into Java types.
1) First difference on java.sql.Time vs java.sql.Timestamp vs java.sql.Date is about information they represent :
JDBC TIME or java.sql.Time represent only time information e.g. hours, minutes and seconds without any date information.
JDBC DATE or java.sql.Date represent only date information e.g. year, month and day without any time information.
JDBC TIMESTAMP or java.sql.Timestamp represent both date and time information including nanosecond details.
2) java.sql.Time and java.sql.Timestamp extends java.util.Date class but java.sql.Date is independent.
3) Time information from java.sql.Date and Date information from java.sql.Time is normalized and may set to zero in order to confirm ANSI SQL DATE and TIME types.
So difference between Time, Timestamp and Date of SQL package is clear in terms of what they represent. On contrary java.util.Date also represent Date and time information but without nanosecond details and that's why many people prefer to store date as long value (millisecond passed from epoch January 1, 1970 00:00:00.000 GMT). If you compare to java.sql.Timestamp with equals() method it will return false as value of nanosecond is unknown.
That's all on difference between java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time and java.sql.Timestamp. All differences lies on what exactly the represent. This kinds of questions are worth looking before going to any JDBC interview as time and date are integral part of any JDBC interview.

About NYU / News, Publications, and Facts / NYU News / 2011 / April /
April 1, 2011
Dixie Ching, a doctoral student in New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, was part of a team that won both the Impact and Collegiate prizes in the inaugural National STEM Video Game Challenge. The two awards carry a total cash prize of $50,000.
The entry, NumberPower: Numbaland!, produced with graduate students Derek Lomas of Carnegie Mellon University and Jeanine Sun of the University of California at San Diego, is a collection of four games that help children in kindergarten through fourth grade develop their sense of number concepts, or "number sense."
The $25,000 Collegiate Prize was awarded to the best undergraduate or graduate student submission. The $25,000 Impact Prize, open to all categories, was awarded to the submission that has the greatest potential to reach underserved populations.
The competition was launched to support President Barack Obama's "Educate to Innovate" campaign, which is aimed at improving the participation and performance of America's students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
"Three cheers for the National STEM Video Game Challenge for catalyzing this entertaining and educational approach to harnessing American ingenuity, all for the cause of science, technology, engineering, and math education," said Aneesh Chopra, United States Chief Technology Officer, in announcing the winners. "It is efforts like these that will ensure our nation's continued economic and technological leadership well into the 21st century."
NumberPower is a suite of mini games designed to help learners develop a strong foundation of number concepts to support future learning in mathematics. Education researchers have found that tasks that help children relate perceptual mappings of magnitude (such as distance traveled and length of counting sequences) to their appropriate numerical symbols will improve a child's number sense. The core concept of each NumberPower mini game is the translation of a magnitude from one representational form to another while seeking to enhance several mathematics abilities, including counting, group counting, and estimation of large numbers, negative numbers, fractions, decimals, and measurements. In addition, NumberPower features a back-end data collection system that provides quantitative measures of individual and group learning progress. The games will be available on different platforms, including the iPad, later this spring. The prototype may be viewed at http://numbaland.com.
