WHEELING - Higher capital gains taxes, higher estate taxes and higher health care costs will result from President Obama's re-election, according to a panel of accountants and business professionals.
While they foresee gloomy days ahead because of Obamacare and other tax increases next year, the financial advisers said Thursday they also believe the growing oil and gas industry gives the Upper Ohio Valley a bright future.
"Yes - we are dealing with obstacles right now," said Ralph Minto Jr., an accountant and tax attorney practicing in Pennsylvania and Florida, speaking during the West Liberty University program titled "The Upcoming Tax Bomb" at the Capitol Theatre ballroom.
"But we need to have the foresight. You could be a very, very wealthy individual," he told the crowd regarding the burgeoning Marcellus and Utica shale business in the Wheeling area.
Craig Seachrist, president of the accounting firm of Seachrist, Kennon and Marling is also optimistic about how the oil and gas industry provides Eastern Ohio and Northern West Virginia a chance to succeed in the face of national deficits and tax increases.
"This is still in the very early stages," he said of the gas drilling, fracking, transporting, processing and cracking. "If you look 10 or 12 years down the road, this is going to be a boom for this region."
Despite the optimism from the natural gas industry, Minto and Seachrist - along with Samuel J. Lapp, president of JHL Tax Service - warned those in attendance that they need to prepare for higher taxes next year, especially if Republicans and Democrats in Congress cannot reach some sort of compromise.
"Unfortunately, Obamacare will not be repealed," Seachrist said of the president's health care plan. "There is no escaping this now. It is going to affect all of your pocketbooks."
Seachrist said some estimates show that Obamacare - via the combination of tax increases and reductions of funding for other programs - will cost about $1.2 trillion over 10 years.
Minto said he is advising his clients to be "very, very proactive in monitoring employee health care costs" to make sure they can handle the increased burden.
In an effort to avoid the high costs associated with Obamacare taxes, Seachrist said many employers are looking for ways to cut full-time workers back to part-time. He also said a business with fewer than 50 employees will have the right to simply drop health insurance, forcing workers to obtain coverage through some other means.
Lapp also noted that capital gains tax rates - those investors pay for income on the sale of stocks - are set to increase from 15 percent to 20 percent. He also said the estate tax may go from 35 percent to 55 percent, with a $1 million exemption.
"If anybody has an estate in excess of $1 million, you are really going to have to seek some advice for your estates," Lapp said.
Lapp also noted U.S. Federal Reserve's regular efforts to pump money into the nation's financial system is also creating a potential for inflation - and very low interest rates.
"I worry about hyperinflation. They are just printing money right now," he said.
To combat this potential problem, Lapp said those looking to protect their wealth may want to look into more traditional investments.
"Buy gold," he said.
Despite the pending tax increases and fiscal problems, Minto said he does not believe America's best days are behind it. He acknowledged that the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives does not want to increase taxes, while the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate does not want to cut entitlement programs. However, Minto believes Obama and Congress will find some sort of a compromise between now and Jan. 1 to avoid even more problems.
"I believe we will work through this, just like America always does," he said. "We will probably be in the same fiscal shape we are now."

I have some leftover microwaved potatoes. Can I use these potatoes in Spanish omelette? Also, I read that tomatoes are not part of "authentic" Spanish omelette. Is that true?
You shouldn't use boiled potatoes as you have to fry them.
This is a good recipe, and no, tomatoes are not part of "authentic" Spanish omelette. In Spain we call it "Potato omelette" an the only ingredients are eggs, potatoes, olive oil, salt and sometimes onion.
Being grown in Spain I've eaten boiled potatoes Spanish omelette a few times: when my mother wasn't in aim for cleaning the splattered oil after cooking. She stopped making omelettes that way: it simply didn't have the taste it should have.
IMHO potatoes should be deep fried in olive oil as that will give them a crust/scratching outer part with an inside part with the consistency of boiled potatoes. To archieve this I heat oil up to 180C (350F) and when I put the potatoes in, immediatelly set the temperature at 120~140C (250~280F), having the potatoes an irregular cutting.
I've seen potatoes omelette having added: onion (wheels or slices), green pepper (sliced, never red, don't know why), cooking chorizo or even jamon serrano dies (between .5 and 1cm (.93in.) cubes). But never seen tomato being added to a potatoes omelette.
David G. has the 'correct' answer, but you can in fact use boiled potatoes. Mash the boiled potatoes with a generous helping of olive oil (to taste). Crude extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) has a different flavor than cooked. It really stands out. Then, go ahead with the rest of the recipe.

reason for xtype?
Can anyone explain why we have xtype? I understand that it allows for lazy instantiation but why was this alias implementation chosen over just using the class name. Why do we have:
items [
xtype: something
..instead of...
items [
cls: "org.view.Something"
Why do we have namespaces if we're just going to refer to classes by their xtype/alias?

xtype is something that has been in Ext JS for many many years and allowed for lazy instantiation and smaller code. Today you can use xclass instead of xtype to instantiate but resolving a component via ComponentQuery uses xtypesMitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Trucking/logistics technology: Con-way set to Tweet carriers on the way to available loads
June 09, 2010 - LM Editorial
While the ubiquitous social networking tool Twitter has been used by myriad shippers, carriers, and industry associations, freight transportation services provider Con-way has taken an entirely different approach in terms of gaining new business via the "Twit-a-sphere."
Con-way Multimodal, a subsidiary of Con-way's 3PL subsidiary Menlo Worldwide whom provides expanded freight brokerage capabilities and services in the 3PL and multimodal freight transportation business, has rolled out Con-way Tweetload.
Company officials described Con-way Tweetload as a patent-pending tool that helps carriers find available loads via Twitter, where carriers following Tweetload at http://www.twitter.com/ConwayTweetLoad can quickly see the latest available shipments and links to additional information on the Con-way Multimodal link board where carriers can place information on available loads daily.
Con-way Multimodal President Tyler Ellison told LM that the company is always seeking ways to better connect its carrier community with available loads. The primary method Con-way Multimodal has employed is a load board, called LINK, which carriers access by visiting Con-way Multimodal's website, according to Ellison. Carriers must first be registered with Con-way Multimodal, and need to log in to access the board.
"Our goal in creating Con-way TweetLoad was to find a way to make it even more convenient for carriers to quickly find information on the latest available loads," said Ellison. We began the planning process late last year, and then began testing it earlier in 2010. We also reached out to a few beta testers recently to get their feedback on the effectiveness of Con-way TweetLoad prior to launching it today. So far we have had a very positive response from our testers."
In terms of benefits shippers can expect from TweetLoad, Ellison said that they will benefit from carriers' ability to have immediate access to information on the latest available loads. And he added that by creating the patent-pending process of utilizing Twitter to pull information from the LINK board and posting it directly to Twitter, carriers are able to sign in to Twitter and follow the load posts, or "tweets," for any period of time without repeatedly logging in on a separate load board. And by following the company on Twitter, Con-way said carriers will have more convenient access to load information updated every 15 minutes.
"The best part of Con-way TweetLoad is that carriers can conveniently follow the latest available loads from a handheld device, like they would for any other tweet coming from Twitter into their personal Twitter timeline," said Ellison. "This makes it easy for carriers to access load information when away from a computer."
What's more, Ellison pointed out that many in the carrier and trucking community are primarily accessing the Internet through their handheld devices and Con-way is making the load information as convenient as possible for its carriers to access, which will in turn make it easier for them to do business with the company and more easily connect carriers with available freight.
The advent of Twitter to help find information on available loads was soundly endorsed by the American Trucking Associations (ATA).
"With this novel use of Twitter, Con-way Multimodal is leading the industry in maximizing the best features of new technology to improve their processes," said Bill Graves, ATA president, in a statement. "This is a great example of how innovative transportation companies can make it easier for carriers to do business with them, which will be a benefit to our industry overall."

see Talk:Papmhlet for discussion.
83C Wiese Street San Francisco, CA 94103
Noisebridge is a space for creation, collaboration, research, development, mentoring, sharing, and of course, learning. Noisebridge is also more than a physical space, it's a community with worldwide roots.
What's The Big Idea?
We provide infrastructure and collaboration opportunities for people interested in programming, hardware hacking, physics, chemistry, mathematics, photography, security, robotics, all kinds of art, and, of course, technology. Through talks, workshops, and projects we encourage knowledge exchange, learning, and mentoring.
As a space for artistic collaboration and experimentation, we are open to all types of art with a special emphasis on the crossover of art and technology. From hardware labs to electronics, cooking, photography, and sound labs, anything that's creative is welcome.
Interesting things are always happening at Noisebridge. Sharing is essential to making this work. Starting from a base of respect and trust, we have built a safe community to foster innovation and creation. Our code of conduct is "Be excellent to each other".
Leadership is taken by individual members for specific projects. We call this "sudo leadership" after the *nix command sudo which allows a regular user to do one root-level, or superuser, task. In other words, if you want Noisebridge to do something, start doing it.
Who Is Financing It?
We self-finance through membership fees ($80 per member/month with $40 "starving hacker" rate), beverage sales, and fundraising parties, the way European hacker spaces do it. We also accept donations. Donations and sponsorships enable renovation and equipment purchase. Within the first 24 hours of renting a space, we raised over $10,000 for a cool location and meaningful projects. Within our first month, we've nearly become cash flow positive from membership dues alone. Further discussion is happening on the Finances wiki page.
Where Does The Inspiration Come From?
Noisebridge is inspired by similar European clubs like Metalab of Vienna, CBase of Berlin, MAMA of Zagreb, and ASCII of Amsterdam. Many other clubs of a similar stripe can be found at Hacklabs and hackerspaces.org. Some members consider Noisebridge a San Francisco Chaostreff. Noisebridge as a hacker space and community shares a Dorkbot-like ethic, and indeed, many of the members of Noisebridge are long-time Dorkbotters.

I just fell into a deep lake underground and miserably died because I was not able to jump out. Are there any techniques to survive in this case, or is this one of the dangerous aspects of being a miner?
If you're lucky enough to end up in a lake with rock or dirt sides (not sand) you can dig 3 sideways into the bank and 2-3 up to create an air pocket to jump up into:
From there you can dig your way out. I've done this so often I can now do it in pitch black darkness. Maybe I should learn to look before I leap...
Get yourself some flippers so you can swim out, or a grappling hook to climb. I believe rocket boots would also work underwater, though they're rare.
A breathing reed would give you a little better chance of not drowning, and a balloon would improve your jump height.
If none of these options are available, you can try digging an air pocket, as explained in this answer.
Build a solid area around yourself with mud or dirt, make the ceiling 2-3 blocks high, then mine out an air pocket.
This is sort of like Stuart Pegg's answer above, but doesn't require a solid wall next to you.
sjohnston has listed some great items, but if you lack those you can drop sand below you to try and get up.
This is going to be another air-pocket answer, but for a situation where the lake is particularly large, and no nearby wall is available.
If you have the misfortune of falling into the middle of a very large lake, break out your pickaxe and immediately dig yourself down. Be careful if the water starts to flow out, as that means you've hit the bottom of the lake and now need to either wait for it to drain, or very carefully fall out of it yourself, taking caution not to fall into something even worse.
If you dig down five tiles and still haven't hit another cave, immediately dig three tiles to the left/right (whichever one offers you a solid cave) until there's a space where you can stand under two tiles while still having one tile next to them. Dig the two tiles out from above you, careful to leave two tiles and the outer 'lip' intact, and start jumping. You'll slowly recover your air and can work on a better long-term survival/escape strategy.
One of the simplest early game techniques that is available is carrying ropes or rope coils (made by crafting 10 ropes together). Simply place them and climb! Another alternative is to use platforms to make stairs. You can also put many platforms over the entire lake, so you don't have to worry about falling in in any longer.

I want to listen to music online, not the radio streams but something like search-and-listen eg on demand. I tried Grooveshark but it doesn't find what I want and crashes my Chrome sometimes, also it's browser based and I use my browser for work and that sometimes crashes it to.
NIT Player was a good alternative, But I think they have blocked my country recently as I can't seem to be able to search for music there anymore. Actually it's much better then Grooveshark for me as it finds everything (including Swedish music) and is really lightweight, not overloaded with pointless features like social networking. I don't want the world to know what I'm listening to I just want something simple like NIT Player.
Any suggestions?

Life's too short for washing up. Surely you'd rather be curled up on the sofa with a box set than arguing over who dons the rubber gloves and who dries, if you're offered help, that is. Figures from Bosch suggest that a dishwasher could save you up to 15 days every year - wouldn't that time be better spent elsewhere? A tropical beach, perhaps? Washing by hand is wasteful, too - you can get through 40 to 80 litres of water, which costs money to heat. By comparison, a dishwasher will use as little as 6 litres to wash 13 place settings, saving you bucket loads of H2O and cash. Convinced? Here are some tips on choosing the right model.
Determine the size and style of dishwasher
* A dishwasher needn't take up acres of space. Compact designs no bigger than a microwave will sit on your worktop, and built-in 60cm-wide versions slot in at eye level. These smaller models usually have around six place settings, or eight at best, one place setting being equivalent to a soup bowl, dinner plate, dessert bowl, cup & saucer, drinking glass and a knife, fork, soup spoon, dessert spoon and teaspoon.
* Usually the most inexpensive option, freestanding dishwashers can be placed anywhere in the kitchen. You can choose models in stainless steel or white to match your existing appliances. Slimline 45cm dishwashers with eight to 10 place settings are ideal for smaller families, but for the best features, you can't beat a full-size 60cm version, which can hold anything up to 17 place settings (though 12-13 is average).
* Integrated models are discreet and at least as spacious as their freestanding counterparts - you'll fit 17 place settings inside KitchenAid's model, right. There are two types of integrated dishwasher: semi-integrated models have a visible control panel, with the furniture door mounted below it, while fully integrated models are concealed behind a full-size furniture door and the control panel is positioned on the top of the door, so it is visible only when opened.
What programmes does it have?
* A quick wash is perfect for dinner parties, for example, when your starter plates are also needed for serving desserts. Most last 30 minutes, but Fagor's machine gets things clean in 15.
* Intensive settings blast burnt-on food like beans and Bolognese, and tackle stubborn starch deposits on pans.
* A delicates mode cares for glass and fine china by lowering the water pressure, and sometimes using steam to lift dirt.
* Most impressive, though, is the sensor wash, which works out how mucky your plates are automatically, then adjusts the time and amount of water used accordingly, saving you money by never running a cycle that's longer or hotter than needed.
* You might think a half-load programme will be handy. However, they save less than 25% of the energy and water used to run a full load. To economise, wait until the dishwasher is full before running a cycle.
* With a delay start, you'll be able to come home from work to clean crockery, or take advantage of cheaper electricity to wash your dishes at night by setting your dishwasher to start up to 24 hours in advance.
* Installing your washer in an open-plan space or planning to use it at night? Choose a model that runs close to 40dB - the volume of a library. Some models have extra quiet programmes that keep the noise down.
Is it efficient with water, energy and space?
* Washing up by hand can be an inefficient process, especially when you consider a dishwasher can deal with a single dinner party-sized load using as little as 6 litres of water, whereas it can take 20 litres of water to fill a single sink. Compare the water consumption before you buy - it's usually given as the number of litres used for a fully loaded machine on a normal 50°C programme.
* Dishwashers also clean to a higher standard, as the water reaches hotter temperatures than hands can tolerate. To reach these temperatures, a dishwasher uses approx 1.5kW of energy per cycle, yet a hot water system uses 2.5kW to heat the water to fill a sink.
* Also check the energy ratings of the appliance before you buy. The letters refer to energy efficiency, washing performance and drying performance, with A+AA-rated models the best. For energy costs, allow 11p per cycle, before detergents.
* Arranging a dishwasher can feel like a Krypton Factor-style challenge, but the best now come with more flexible baskets. These can be raised or lowered to make room above or below, with racks that fold down to make way for cumbersome pots and pans. Also look out for dedicated cutlery trays that free up more space in the bottom basket.
Continued below.

I'm a computer programmer who's caught on to denotational semantics. I mostly work with Ruby, JavaScript and C, but I know a little Haskell and ML. I've taken my first steps towards reasoning about what my software means, but my knowledge of domain theory is weak. DCPOs, chains, new notation – can you recommend a coherent introduction to this stuff?
The book recommended by jef is the domain-theory bible. It may be a bit overwhelming for a beginner. For an easier and more compressed introduction I recommend that you have a look at Abramsky and Jung's chapter on domain theory from the Handbook of Logic in Computer Science. It is available in gzipped Postscript from Achim's home page, and CiteSeerX has it in PDF here.
Semantics with Applications: An Appetizer by Hanne Riis Nielson and Flemming Nielson provides a rudimentary introduction, also linking denotational semantics to program analysis via abstract interpretation. Plotkin's notes are excellent, more comprehensive, and more theoretically bent.
I read this book for a course when I was an undergraduate and it is a very good introduction for all the things you mentioned.
I used the book The Formal Semantics of Programming Languages by G. Winskel for an undergraduate course, and I found it a reasonably good introduction to the topic; it also covers operational semantics and its relationship with denotational semantics, which I found quite enlightening since the former one is probably easier to grasp initially.
Another good book that teaches the ropes of domain theory for a beginner is Thomas Streicher's "Domain-Theoretic Foundations of Functional Programming", World Scientific. I highly recommend this book because of its clarity and rigour. Please look up the link at http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/6284 for information on this book. The functional language it works with is a prototypical simply-typed lambda calculus, called PCF (Programming language for Computable Functionals). The domain theory developed in it and the denotational semantics defined is systematic in its organization.

6 Insane Sports That Could Be in the Next Olympics
#3. LeCanne (Canne De Combat)
LeCanne appeared in the 1924 Olympics, but was never brought back, presumably because watching two guys bash each other with sticks while jumping around like fucking Neo from the Matrix caused spectators back then to crap their bloomers and/or drop their monacles.
The sport was developed back in the old timey days when men still carried canes, even if they had two perfectly good legs. It was like having a wallet chain, except that it didn't make you look like a douche. Eventually someone figured out the cane could also be used to smack the shit out of muggers. Soon a new martial art was born and became awesome, despite being French.
Today it's known as Canne De Combat and points are scored by smashing your opponent upside the head, torso or calf. Nut shots are not allowed unless your opponent is actually trying to take your wallet. Competitors wear padding similar to fencers and the cane itself is made out of light weight wood so the fighters can't knock each other out (apparently that used to be a real problem).
Unlike fencing, where the competitors are restricted to stepping back and forth on a narrow mat, Canne fighters run around the ring like the freaking Tasmanian Devil. And while it already looks like a fucking ninja video game, there are some events that up the ante by equipping each fighter with two canes. By next year we expect them to add a cage to the ring and glue broken glass to the canes.
#2. Tug of War
You might think we can't seriously be talking about the playground game with two teams pulling on a rope. You'd be wrong. This favorite of Boy Scout jamborees, fat kids at summer camps and cheesy 80's celebrity T.V. competitions was an official sport for five Olympic games from 1900-1920. In 1912 only two teams competed so although Britain claimed the Silver medal, those fuckers in fact finished in last place.
The event was a carryover from the ancient Olympic games except that they dropped the requirement that the competitors be nude, probably due partly to the dangers of rope burn and the risk of an accidental man-orgy should the other teams suddenly let go of the line.
The event was played out just like the playground, with two teams of eight players pulling until one team had pulled the other past a line. Though, at the international level the sport looks less like your awkward uncle at a picnic and more like an angry, grunting science.
The sport is already a serious affair with 55 nations competing at the world championships. Plus the rule book is 84 pages long, including 11 official referee signals, which seems like overkill for a sport that is the equivalent of a group arm wrestle.
#1. Dueling Pistols
Sure, the Olympics still have a bunch of shooting events but they are all pretty much boring, consisting usually of a bunch of people standing quietly and taking shots at paper targets. This is a little like watching bowling, but without even that level of athleticism. It's time to bring back dueling pistols.
Yes, we said bring "back". Dueling pistols was an actual Olympic event, though that was only in one Olympics (1906). After that it was discontinued because the losers were dead.
Alright, that last part isn't true, though it would have been awesome if it was. The event actually consisted of competitors shooting the shit out of mannequins with bulls eyes on their chests. To appease the more bloodthirsty in the crowd, the mannequins were dressed in frock coats, apparently so fans could better pretend that actual people were being gunned down in the name of sport.
Die fucker!
This sport is tailor made for today's more violent society. Plus the frocks could be replaced by the opposing teams' jerseys, bringing even more nationalistic fervor to the event.
If you're thinking that people wouldn't really want to see this event, a poll before the 2000 Olympics proves you wrong. Dueling pistols finished second in a list of sports people would choose to bring back, thus confirming that nothing brings the world together like simulated murder.

I need to create a conceptual and logical (normalized) models of parking house according to the requirements below. It looks to me as a very simple concept that doesn't need all tables to have relationships - but then they could not be modelled as entities. I tried asking this on stackoverflow but got no feedback for couple of days now.
Three possible methods of payment:
- a ticket paid on leave,
- prepaid card with cash credit,
- prepaid card with "time credit",
Price of ticket depends on time:
- 1-2hrs = $0,
- 3hrs = $2,
- 4hrs = $4,
- afterwards x hrs = $(x+1), but max. $20 for 24hrs (... easiest to put these to 24 rows, right?).
A ticket (a) may be allowed a 20% discount (ie. for shopping in the mall).
- Cash credit card uses same prices as tickets but with 40% discount.
- Cash credit card can be reloaded.
- Time card is paid once and allows parking while valid.
The problem is I don't know how to put those highlighted relations to the logical db model and whether event to put them there. Is it ok-practice to have isolated tables in the design?

Just beat favorites for promotion, Chester City, 3-1 at home in my third match. Played 3, won 1, drew 1 and lost 1.
Just signed Mr Wilson!
Does anyone have any tips on saving money they want to share?
Im spending far to much money on the deadwoood "key players" in my squad even though im under budget for my wage bill.
Is it normal for a club to be losing money each month in these lower leagues?
I've got Michael Jackson, Prince and Dick at Marine
Anyone know then if there is a website up and runnign this year?
Also anyone have a north ferriby save?
Hm a bunch of my players can't stop telling the press we are under achieving, I disagree seeing as all we wanted was a top half finish and at the moment we are still in a battle for a playoff spot...
Just got knocked out of the FA Cup in the first round - the news item stated that my side were expected to be amongst the challengers for the Cup - I'm a BSN team for God's sake.
Torres!!!! Sergio Torres of course
I'mpnly half way through season 1 - no shame in playing slowly
Well my early season predictions of a top half finish have now been over taken with thoughts of 1st season promotion, have just reached December and my mighty Kings Lynn sit proudly Top of the BSN, by a massive 1 pt
Really have been surprised as the team have come together remarkably well and some stand out performers so far are my CB pairing of Adam Tong and Tom Sharpe (absolute Rocks), my Playmaker Valentin Milenov (6 Goals and 7 Assists in 16 Games) and my forward line of James Keatings (9 Goals in 16 Games) and Zahari Krastev (3 Goals and 5 assists from 16 Games)
Looking forward to the new year and a serious promotion challange
Just got knocked out of the FA Cup 4th Round qualifying to Eastleigh... slightly disappointed as i could do with some money - but not the end of the world i suppose.
Anyone got any tips on making a bit of money? I'm currently 270k in debt and the board are getting increasingly worried about the finances, i'm under my wage budget and my parent club gives me 14k a year. This is not good since i'm actually having a great season with the angels, sitting in the play off spots, a great improvement on last year since we struggled to stay up!
Double check the contracts of your players for high appearance bonuses.
Try and offer players a lower new contract.
Try and bring in loan players without paying them any wages.
Other than that not much you can do - you just need to get into the Football League as quick as possible or pray for a big team in the FA Cup.
I've just come across a slight problem my Keeper Adam and Centre-Back Hunter are now missing games due to being called upto the Scottish U21/U19 teams, whilst my other centre-back Assoumani who was released by Wrexham is a Comoros International
my board often inject money to 'help with the club's running costs' 35k this month but im still 260k in debt. 1k under wage budget looks like i should try and free up some wages buy selling some players who are only backup.
Farnborough BSS 2011/2012
im at the start of Feb and 5th in table 7 points behind 1st.
got knocked out both cups early on so not much money made.
going to arrange loads of friendlies this summer to try and help clear some of debt and also field stronger teams in cups and try and earn some cash.
after a average first half of this season i finally found a tactic that works for my team. 2012 the team has come a long way,hope i can stay with the leaders and get a playoff place or even better automatic promotion.
Thank you for the tips, michael.
Im still in the black due to the fancy pre-season friendlies, but the line is on a steady decline... going to try out those tips.
Ahh right, lets just hope i get promotion to the bsp then! Cheers cerneo
One more tip, long term deals are your friend, you can always free transfer someone later on.
We've lost two out of the last 3, it's so tight up near the top that 1 point can be the difference between 2nd and 6th, it looks like we're bottling it ta for the tips matey
My horrifically slow defence is causing me problems. Im shipping goals left, right and center!
Secured a play off spot! Get in there! not bad since my objective was attempt to avoid relagation
Argh, decisions...
I really need this guy, but I really need money as well... >_<
Stuart Russell (youth product) has got 5 goals in his career, all of them are penalties.
Suppose as a right back he isn't going to get too many goals from open play though.
Gutted, all I had to do was won one of my last 3 for promotion, so I rested players for the first game since it was away and was playing a fairly strong team....We draw all three.
Playoffs coming up though.
too lazy to update properly, so here we go:
first season, promoted after jumping from 3rd to 1st on the last matchday.
second season, 10th in bsp. nothing really to remark on, save for continuing financial problems.
I'm sixth in the middle of november in season 3 and have seen our average attendance continue to drop. falling with it has been our wage budget - things are ugly in wales!
grr been resetting for 45 mins and still no durham or north ferriby.
Best so far is Kendal Town!
Kendal have just dumped me out of the FA Cup in our first round (4th Qual. Round) - thanks to us giving away a woeful pen in the 85th minute - my defender slide tackles a Kendal player whilst the ball is miles up in the air
And to make matters worse a player gets booked and another sent off for arguing with the ref
Uh oh not looking good after the first leg.
Got 1 back!
And level!
At half time...scared to do the second half...
Yessssssssssssssss!!! Walker slams home his 100th career goal and puts us up 4-3!
Sick... They got one back, 4-4.
Totally gutted. Pure agony.
Just wrong. Oh well atleast I know I can get it done next season.

is anyone giving up a very large amount of penalties from corners?
Get in there Play off final!!! Played forrest green in the semis, drew home leg 0-0, won away leg 2-1 Bring on Welling!!
If I can win my Fa Cup Second round replay at home to League 2 Burton, then my reward will be a trip to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United. 'mon the Robins!!
Edit* Won the replay 4-1, to my shock and surprise. Will play on tomorrow.

A 92nd minute Keatings goal ensures we hold BSP leaders Kidderminster to a 1-1 draw
Though it does keep them 9 pts clear of us, they have 40 pts from 17 games, Barnet are second with 38pts from 17 games whilst we are somehow 3rd with 31 pts from 16 games, however Kidderminster and Barnet seem a bit to good for the rest of us - I have conceeded 15 goals which is the 4th joint best (Aldershot have only conceed 14), it also happens to be the same amount of goals that both Kidderminster and Barnet have conceeded combind
Promotion!! Tonny 4-2 welling Miller is my hero!!
After trying to cut back on finances, ive just realised that my star striker and goalkeeper are valued at £106k... definitely a nice bit of business if i can find better free players for them next season.
I think im just going to plough through the season and not worry about finances for now though... even though im losing 25k/month.

Draws are killing me, have drawn 5 out of the last 8 and slipped from first in the BSN to 3rd, now 7pts off the top spot
Braintree are leading, closely followed by Worcester and then my Mighty Kings Lynn
My forwards are seriously mis-firing
Hope i can regain my form for the run in or i could end up wasting all that good early season work and miss out on the playoffs aswell
Tonbridge angels 2011-2012 BSS
Well what a season. Started off brilliant then maintained the form all the way through, not once dropping out of the play off spots . Won the play offs against Forrest green and Welling, ecstatic.
Finances: Looking poor.
Transfers: The acquisitions of Grant and Mitchell where essential to my teams success this year.
League Table
Player of the year: Kyle Wilson (Criticized him last year for a poor season, o how he proved me wrong)
Summary: Well a great season. Objective was attempt to avoid relagation. We certainly managed that and then some, gaining promotion to the Blue Square Premier! Bring on the giants of the BSP!!
Cambridge City 14/15
Season Review: Got off to a sloppy start, then we picked it up a bit later really turning it on towards the end of the season. With three games to go all we had to do was win one, it proved to much and we got forced into the play offs, you can see my agony a few post up but it ended like this.
The good news is, we get new training and youth set ups next season and my hope is we expand the stadium again soon since we maxed it out quite a few times already.
FA Cup
Paint Trophy
Carling Cup
Cup Review: Unlucky in the JPT, got destroyed by a PL team for the Carling, but manged to get to the fourth round again by forcing Championship side Southend to a return game.
Pedersen - GK: My young keeper project is coming along ok, he was poor at times but my hope is by the end of the next season hes ready for L1 or he will have to move along.
Walker - Striker: Simply epic, very happy to have signed this guy.
Leitch-Smith - Striker: He never really got going how I needed him to, it seems that it should be a more lethal pair than it was.
Morrison - AMR: Very good pick up, hope he keeps going.
Gregg - Mid: After Dolly left mid season he really came up big, replaceable though for sure.
Bender - DL: Was solid most of the season when not out hurt, hope he stays healthy next season though.
Next Season: Not ever lose in the play offs again, going for 1st place next season.Code:Season Division Position Achievements --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010/11 BSN 1st Promotion 2011/12 BSP 13th 2012/13 BSP 1st Promotion/FA T Winner 2013/14 L2 13th 4th Round FA Cup 2014/15 L2 4th Simifinal Playoffs/ 4th Round FA Cup

Farnborough 2011/2012 BSS
10 games to go
3rd placed
2 points off top
still to play 4th away and also 2nd at home
James Keatings seems to be excellent at winning corners, but not scoring goals for me ...
HA! such is the way, Keatings scores a goal as im typing this.
EDIT: omg, 2-0 down and now 3-2 up!!!
EDIT2: lol and Keatings gets his second... 4-2.
beat 4th placed Lewes, im up to 2nd. 1 point off top. 8 games to go
Really pleased the crowds at Truro have went from 100 up to around 500, it's taken best part of two seasons though.
Im playing Eastleigh (the team that knocked us out of the FA cup) and i forgot to submit a team talk at the start of the game as i had to skip through some menus before the game... and we're 2-0 up inside 20mins.
i might do this more often.
edit: drew 2-2

Im not very confident of getting into the play-offs this season. I need to stop conceeding so many silly goals if i am to have ANY chance of making it...
I may start playing 5 at the back vs. the big teams imo.

My Billericay team is horribly inconsistent. We beat Eastbourne Boro 3-0 in a sensational performance then turn around and were spanked 3-0 by Basingstoke who remain my bogey team ever since the FM06 incarnation of this challenge
I am struggling big time with this years FM. My Billericay team's form is now resembling the form that saw my Tonbridge effort fail. I just can't get the hang of the lower leagues this year despite having plenty of success in this challenge in the past. No idea what I should do from here
Well I didn't update last night before I went to bed as it was pretty late & I was tired but Hendon have just won Johnstones Paint Trophy after beating Crewe 1-0 in the final after they battered us for 90 minutes before we got a last minute winner! We also sit 4th in the league but level points with Yeovil who are in 3rd place, it's quite funny because whilst we finished 21st last season so have improved a great deal Yeovil were 23rd until the very end when they jumped up to 22nd and avoided relegation so they have also improved a great deal to be in 3rd place.
Just need to keep my fingers crossed for these last 6 games, worst case scenario is we lose a few and end up in the play offs but I really want to avoid them and gain auto promotion if I can.
AFC Hornchurch - Update from the Urchins!
Well I have just gone past Christmas in my first season and things had been looking dire. My team could not score and when they did they seemed to manage to hold on for draws or lose by the odd goal. I had dropped to 21st in the table at the end of November. Things needed to change!
I went out and bought in 2 Scottish rejects, Mark Millar and Christiano Kisuka. These guys have been absolute revelations for me! Millar, in his debut, started against Hampton & Richmond. I was drawing 1-1 with 10 minutes to go and looked to be holding out for yet another draw when up pops Millar and smashes one into the top corner from 30 yards. I went crazy and I think the match engine heard me as it said "The fans love him already"
Kisuka was unfit so I gave him a couple of sub appearances before dropping him in it. I was away to Braintree who were 4th in the table. Drawing 0-0 a half time I gave Kisuka a chance to show me what he can do. He repayed me by smashing in the winner in a 1-0 victory!
Since then he has made 3 starts scoring 5 goals including 1 against BSP Chelmsford City in the FA Trophy. This started off a memorable 4-1 win for me. Scoring goals was something Hornchurch didn't do!
So in summary, the next few months could either see me scrapping to avoid relegation or continue the good form and kick on to reach the playoffs. Only time will tell!
Just noticed Tranmere are in big big trouble, sitting bottom of League 2 and in administration, they've had to sell half there squad for nothing so barely have 11 senior players and to make matters worse they'll get a 10 point deduction next season in the BSP. Might check them out & see if any of there players can improve my team hehe
Last game of the season we are currently 3rd, one point ahead of Yeovil in 4th and 2 points above 5th placed Shrewsbury but we have an away trip to 10th placed Stockport whilst Yeovil have a home game to 13th placed Accrington and Shrewsbury have an away trip to 2nd placed Grimsby. Alot to play for but we are all guaranteed a play off spot but I'd be dissapointed with that after this season where we have totally transformed ourselves as a team, we've only conceeded 33 goals in 45 league games but we have scored less also with only 58 league goals this season but then Harsanyi has struggled with injuries and rarely had a long run in the side before missing another couple of games so I feel we'd have scored more with a settled partnership up there.
In desperate need of a tactical shift. We are again down in the relegation places despite having what on paper looks like at the very least a mid-table team. There seems to be a lot of people having success with a narrow 4-4-2 diamond so I may look at that as an option.
Hendon 2013/2014 League 2 Season Review
Well after the transfers I made during the summer I felt quite confident of a good campaign as we had a much stronger starting XI then we did last year but also my backup players were of a much better quality for this division. However I did think we'd only push for promotion through the play offs so to have finished the season in 3rd position I really am delighted as it's a massive achievement & improvement from last season, as I mentioned Yeovil were also the leagues biggest improvers after they finished 22nd last year but finished 4th this season so go into the play offs. I guess what this shows is with a few tweaks with playing staff etc you really can make big improvements over the course of one summer, feels quite good knowing it can be done as I was quite worried going into last summer having no money and no wage budget but still managed to get the job done.
The highlight outside of the league was our triumph in the Johnstones paint trophy where we beat Crewe in the final for the first silverware of my career. Infact when you look at our route to the final you can see we have beat League 1 teams Swansea, Oxford, Millwall and then Crewe whilst also beating the winners of league 2 Cambridge so it has to go down as a very tough route to have taken, albeit we got lucky with 2 penalty shoouts and then the lucky 90th minute winner against Crewe in the final, but getting some luck against bigger teams is needed I feel.
On the player side of things I think the big improvement of Shane Duffy in defence this season helped no end in our upturn in going from one of the worst defences last season into the best defence this season. A part can also be given to goalkeeper Declan Tierney who has really progressed this season from the raw 17 year old potential into a goalkeeper who can call the place his own, I should note though if I can add a more experienced goalkeeper to my squad next season he will be on the bench so his progress can not be rushed so much.
In terms of goals for the team it was largely down to young Danish striker Nikola Saric who practically single handedly fired us to promotion and cup glory this season, he was a great addition to the squad and I feel totally confident the ex Liverpool youngster will score goals in league one also.
However the best player I feel for my team has to be Frenchman Jean-Pierre Lenormand who became my defensive midfielder this season and really made the position his own, not only did the youngster win many tackles game after game to protect my defence but he also chipped in with 7 league goals and 5 assists to give him my player of the season.

Hm am I the only one missing an icon on the front page? The 'I've written in this thread' icon..?
still doing restarts hoping to get whitby, north ferriby or durham
Tells me I have 95 posts in this thread so seems to be working for me MikaelS
No blue icon but it has the white arrow pointing downwards on the folder and when you move the mouse over the icon it tells me the number of posts in the thread
After restarting for AGES it looks like i am goign to plump for Kendal Town. Keep watchiung for some mint cake madness
Glenn Crane - Kendal Town - MintCake madness Begins
I've got a save on 24 June, just need to give it a couple of tries to see which is the lowest rep to come up. Also I only got the blue sq. North and South not the Isthmian League Premier Division. Have i done something wrong. I hope not, can't be bothered going through another hour of holidaying the 2009/2010 season
Can't seem to get any money bids for my players even though they are wanted by league clubs, only ever get £0k offers with a sell on fee which doesn't really help especially considering some of these players are definate league 2 quality so should get some kind of a fee.
Ive found that if your form looks like its going to dip a bit, to go defensive from the outset of games and try and get a draw or two to get back on track, I seem to be having a good season defensively so far, with 7 clean sheets from 12 games thus far using this tactic.
Good luck turning the form around!
Cracking work with Hendon there Matt best of luck in League 1
I had a lot of issues with tactics at the start of the season but due to the fact that most of my players had IQs lower than their age I turned it round and kept it simple. Went back to a simple 4-4-2 and the points started flowing. I guess it is all about finding the right players for each position and my players just suited a simple 4-4-2.
I have always found playing wide to help though and have the touchline shout "Clear Ball to the Flanks" on. I seem to be able to break with my wingers and then find through balls to my strikers.
Oh fantastic, when you're struggling nothing seems to go your way, 2-1 down away at Alfreton, my CB Iqbal goes in with a rash two footed tackle and gets himself a straight red, his CB partner Russell Short then goes and argues with the ref, earning himself a second yellow and gets sent off also! So I lose 50% of my defence in one passage of play, awesome.
And OMG, I've salvaged a 2-2 draw
Two red, salvage job!
Thats the way! Reds always seem to crop up at the most annoying moment for me
I'm going to stop reading this thread now. Being at work and not being able to get this challenge going is starting to annoy me.
Season 2015/16 Review - Kingstonian in the Coca-Cola League 2
League Table
Past Positions
Promoted! Another shaky start got me worried as I had strengthened the team in last year's problem areas, but it turned out to be something temporary and we hovered around 2nd/1st for most of the season. Securing promotion with a few rounds left unfortunately seemed to have a negative effect on the players resulting in a 4 draw + 1 loss end to the season, enabling Bournemouth to pass and snatch the title. Worryingly still leaking way too many goals, but for now Dempsey seems to make up for it.
FA Cup | League Cup | Johnstone's Paint Trophy
Poor even by recent years' standard, but once again money from an away tie, so I'm not very disappointed after all.
Dempsey as ridiculously good as ever, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to keep him. Intense transfer rumours have kept him unsettled for most of the season and he didn't much appreciate me turning down an offer from Dundee Utd. Waitt and Bauzá would probably be the other highlights, scoring and assisting by very respectable numbers.
An aging Olivier Kapo turned out to be way too slow to work on the wing, but proved a useful deep-lying playmaker once retrained for a central role. Still problematically inconsistent and in the end overshadowed by less reputable teammates like Dean Sinclair. Yado Mambo slotted right into central defence and Tansey proved a good alternative to Kapo/Sinclair, while Heffernan is more of a backup/prospect for the future. Szamotulski is however retiring at the end of the season, so unless I can find a new GK I might have to throw him off the deep end and hope he copes.
Aim for next season: Stay up, keep Dempsey / find Dempsey replacement.

Hendon 2014/2015 League One Preview
Well I went into the transfer window with a few players I was happy to sell and hopefully raise some cash, also I had around £6kpw to play with in terms of wages so felt confident of signing a few free transfers that would walk straight into my side, actually felt more confident this summer then I did last year. After the number of signings I have made I think it's best to simply list my players for my first team as it will show just how much we have improved this summer with these signings.
GK Declan Tierney
DR Samir Antona Free transfer this summer after being released by Auxerre
DL Dimitar Ruychev Had him since the first season in Blue square north
DC Allesandro Tuia Free signing this summer after being released by Lazio, his trial is here
DC Vincent Pringent Free signing this summer after being released by AS Saint-Etienne
MC Jean-Pierre Lenormand
MC Guillaume David Free signing this summer after being released by RC Lens
AML Danny Rose Free signing this summer after being released by Tottenham Hotspur
AMR Elvis Pereira Loan signing from Chelsea
AMC Nikola Saric
FC Jonathan Obika Free signing this summer after being released by Tottenham Hotspur
Full squad list can be seen here and with the squad quality we have I feel we can avoid relegation, will be very tough to get promoted as there are some very strong teams but we did beat 3 of the top 5 teams last year on our way to winning the Johnstones paint trophy so hopefully that is a good sign.
With the preseason friendlies out of the way I felt fairly optimistic of our chances in the league.
Oh boy was I wrong...
The first sign was a crushing 3-6 defeat to Northwich.
The second was that the next 5 games were 4 draws and another loss with the player instructions apparently being 'give ball to unmarked opponent forward' and 'give away penalties right, left and centre'...
Finally to top this pile of misery, I get this.
Yay for me!
The only worry I have is that Lenormand is coming into the last year of his contract and wants £400pw more then I can offer him, trying to sort it out now but would be absolutely gutted to lose him, hopefully I can sort a deal out soon so he signs a new contract
Actually decided to bring my AMC back into a 3 man central midfield and play my French midfielder Florian Moulet instead of Nikola Saric to add some more defensive qualities to the team until I am sure we can be more aggressive
Great update Scab ! Is Dempsey a regen ?
Going to try and get Hendon as my 3rd feeder club for the useful scouting knowledge their coach gives me. Truro's scout gives me knowledge on USA and Mexico
As I write this, we have drawn Hendon in the Fa Trophy Second round

This paper investigates the impact of new firms' quality on the magnitude of their employment effects. Our results clearly show that the quality of start-ups, measured by their affiliation with sectors and innovative industries, strongly influences the direct and the overall employment contribution of new firms. In particular, start-ups in manufacturing industries generate larger direct and overall growth effects than those in services. Moreover, new businesses in innovative manufacturing and in knowledge-intensive service industries make a larger direct contribution to employment than start-ups affiliated with other industries. We also find a relatively strong overall effect of new business formation in knowledge-intensive service industries. However, the impact of start-ups in innovative manufacturing industries on overall regional employment growth is not statistically significant, which may be mainly due to their rather small share in all start-ups and because they impact more on firms and employment in other regions than do start-ups in non-innovative manufacturing. Finally, we discuss the implications for entrepreneurship policy that can be derived from our findings.

Roller Shades & Roll Up Blinds
- wide selection of colors and styles
- light filtering for views and light control
- blackout fabric choices to block light
- raise/lower in one smooth, easy operation
- minimal and discrete when raised
Roller shades add color, style and texture to any room easily and economically. With a wide array of colors, patterns, styles and features, roller shades can fit your needs perfectly. Fabrics range from sheer to blackout, depending on how much privacy and light control you need - semi-opaque fabrics offer a good combination of both. Roller shades "roll up" onto a tube, and are operated with a cord loop, a cordless spring system, or even by remote control, and are available with personalized features like a cassette valance or a decorative bottom hem.

"Modern, clean and beautiful"
By from
These are not your Grandmas roller shades. They have a very modern look and with the vibrant color they really make for a cool window dressing and accent color for a white room. They are very sturdy and have a nice fabric feel to them. Looks like they will clean easily and wear well for a long time. Customer service is the best! I recommend this company highly.View this product

I know a theory behind stress. I also know general attitude which links stress with all negative things. However I would like to ask "Do you think is stress good or bad?"
The question come after today's workshop I attended. The workshop was about self sabotage and there was a lot about stress and what to do to reduce stress.
From my perspective I really need stress to work on high level standard. Without stress I am not so effective. When I have reduced stress, no deadline, everything going smooth; I loose my focus and I drift away from my work. On another hand I don't like to be under pressure. I feel more happy/relaxed when I don't have pressure.
It is difficult for me to maintain a level of stress which would be the best, because I simply don't know it. At one point I feel motivated and concentrated on my task but a while after, in very constant situation, I start to feel too much pressure.
What is your point of view. I don't necessary want to read theories, I know quite a lot of them. I would like to hear your experience, how you deal with stress?. Are you more effective with or without stress? Do you need it or not? if so, do you create your own stress (like I do)? Do you know any good practical way to deal with stress?

Formal letters almost always used to start with "Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren," or "Sehr geehrter Herr Maier" if the person is known. However more and more we see formal correspondence that addresses with "Guten Tag," or "Guten Tag Herr Maier". The former may be less fashionable but is there any consent on what occasions we rather not use the one or the other?
Sign up

The salutation "Guten Tag" in written communication is a more informal variation of "Sehr geehrte/r....".
Both essentially say the same thing, but "Sehr geehrte/r" has been the accepted way to formally address a person for I don't know how many decades.
In my personal experience, "Guten Tag" has gained traction especially in industries that cultivate a more laid-back attitude - Media, parts of IT, and so on - where "Sehr geehrte/r..." is perceived as overly formal. It is becoming more and more popular among younger people (in their 20s, 30s, 40s) in general, no matter what field they work in. I have seen federal employees in their twenties use "Guten Tag" (although it's not the norm).
If in doubt - say, when applying for a position with a German Bank - you can't go wrong with "Sehr geehrte/r".
For everything else, especially if you are on friendly terms with the recipient, "Guten Tag" (or, if you're really familiar with the person, later, "Hallo") is perfectly acceptable.
In my experience you usually use "Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren" to begin a correspondence, possibly when you're not entirely sure who is going to read/respond to it. As the correspondence continues, it may be adequate to switch to "Guten Tag", as it builds up some familiarity with the correspondant.
It could easily be considered a little too formal to start every single message in the conversation with "sehr geehrte Damen und Herren" if it is already clear who's going to reply to you.
You don't use Guten Tag in the evening or at night. ;)
No, seriously, Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren is the way to go if you are writing a formal letter to someone you barely know. If you meet someone in person, you could say Guten Tag!.
I have never seen a letter (or an email) that starts with "Guten Tag". In what context have you seen this "more and more"?
If a letter is more informal it will start with:
If it is an informal email, you can start with "Hallo" or "Hi".
I would use the first one if i'm writing to a group of persons and i don't know who will read my letter. Both is formal and may be used in any case.
I think the difference is that 'Guten Tag' et al. are conversational (rather than written) greetings
If you are a native English speaker contacting a German media or communications professional, is it preferable to use sehr geehrte. Guten Tag or Hallo may be used in an informal setting but it may be too informal if the professional in question is not someone I have spoken to, corresponded with or even met before.
If you are an English speaker writing a request for some information about a product or requesting some data, using the "wrong" salutation may not have such negative results as when written by a native speaker. Still, in my media experience, any letter or email that was addressed to myself specifically, or the newsroom in general, that was strangely (read: incorrectly) addressed would generally be a red flag that the subsequent letter/email was going to be garbage.
Is it wrong then to assume that a letter to a German-speaking professional with the wrong salutation will not be ignored or deleted without any response.

History of TDP - 03-02-2009, 04:36 PM
can someone relate a detailed time line of the doll palace forums' history? E,g; when new mods where elected, the founding, blahblahblah.
Sorry if this is spammy, but I'm curious! ^^"
I mean a weapon you hold. You have a gun, Tanith has a sword... I want a stick. ~ Valkyrie Cain
Ill buy you a stick for Christmas. - Skulduggery Pleasant
I'll try to do this to the best of my ability, but I can't remember much about when Elanorea and dudettel(or Sarika) became mods nor was I around during the founding. What I'll do first is try to describe the various mods I remember, past and present as well as their forums(some have changed since then), then I'll try to address the general forum history. I can't guarantee much, but as I am one of the oldest members here(dudettel being the only one I know of as older), I feel I should probably address this.
Past Mods-First Team(mostly active in 2002-2003)
Dorito, GrandSexayViking, cutesforbabes(?), etc: There were about 4-5 inactive mods when I first joined. I only recall a post or two from them in my early days. Surprisingly enough, two were guys(GrandSexayViking and another one whose name I can't remember). They were all removed in 2004 I believe.
Angeleyez(?): The original mod of entertainment and fashion. I remember she was very religious and I believe she resigned due to school in 2005, which led to me being mod. Did also work during the second team.
Sexyfox16: Mod of "Friends", slowly became inactive over time. Removed in 2006 or 2007 after being inactive for over a year. Also worked on and off during the second team.
Past Mods-Second Team(2004-2006/2007)
Suagpuppy55: A mod of General Discussion, resulted from a lone forum vote for mods. Never really active after that, but was well known for starting fights with DJ_Andercore/Postgrep at the time(along with me, Steffie, and Rachel(?). We were bad xD). Removed due to inactivity in 2006-2007.
Darkan_: Mod of GD, he was known for his dating advice. He ended up resigning due to law troubles and has since popped up from time to time, but hasn't been extremely active. He also was a result of the one time mod vote and probably the only one who ended up being a good choice.
Fairybabe: Mod of GD. Known for being our worst mod ever. She spammed and frequently yelled at people for spamming when they weren't, threw tantrums, and closed threads at random. She is why we do not allow young mods any longer. Removed due to inactivity in 2006-2007.
Sweetpea200202: Mod of dating, became a mod after going to support about the spam in that section. It caused a big scandal then because she had only been here for a few months. Became inactive over time and has not been removed yet.
Kimber: An excellent mod of multiple boards. Was a handdrawn doller and was one of the first ones to bring it here. She became inactive due to family trouble, but her posts can still be seen here and there.
Potter15: Mod of dating who ended up becoming inactive due to life issues. The last time I spoke to her was several years ago and she was in some serious trouble. I'm uncertain if she is even okay these days.
Sarika2004: Mod of fashion, up for possible removal even though she resigned quite a while back. Known for suffering from depression and has frequently left due to it. Has done work during the third team, but the majority of her activity was during this period.
Past Mods-Third Team(2007-today)
Bunnypixie: Became a mod out of nowhere when we needed a new one despite never having been active on the forums. Never really active even after becoming mod, besides one incident involving a nude modelling argument. Removed due to rule breaking which is inconsistent with the image a mod is supposed to portray.
Present Mods(2004-today)
Elanorea: I'm unsure how she became mod, maybe she can enlighten us? xD Watches over the dolling boards and was one of the first people to bring handdrawn dolling here. Also was the one who convinced Miranda to stop posting as a guest and join the site. Worked during the second team as well.
dudettel: Also unsure how she became mod. Possibly the oldest member on here currently, besides support. Has been busy currently due to family changes(congrats again darling <3). Also worked during the second team.
Silver_Wolf_Kitty: I was doing unofficial mod work beginning in the spring/summer of 2005 on DarkaN's account. He asked that I do it during his inactivity. I officially became a mod in 2005 of Entertainment, later over other boards when the changes occurred. Became a supermod in 2009.
Miranda_: Became a mod in 2006(?) of Dating and GD(Games I believe was later) after support asked around for mod recommendations. I pride myself on having suggested her xD Funny fact, Miranda first began posting as a guest and had to be convinced to join. Became a supermod in 2007-2008(?), then a coadmin in 2009.
Sarah_K_O_M: Became a mod during an inactive period of mine for my boards and GD.
Silent_Wolf: One of our newest mods, became one in 2009 and is yet to be assigned.
TheHayleyDoll: One of our newest mods, became one in 2009 and is yet to be assigned.
Greeters(First Team! 2009-onwards)
delly1: Part of our first group of greeters. Was appointed in 2009.
Singergirl509: Part of our first group of greeters. Was appointed in 2009.
Spirit_Queen: Part of our first group of greeters. Was appointed in 2009.
I think that's a pretty decent description of that, onto history in post two.
As far as I can ascertain, the forums were founded in 2002. The oldest accounts date back to then, but the founding is obscure in my mind since I was only on fleetingly on another account then.
When I joined in late 2003, we were quite a mess. There was a lot of spam and guest posting was still allowed(and continued to be for quite a while). The board layout at the time was not this(this layout can still be see in the "Talks" section of Cliques/Clubs) and was silver in colour. There isn't much to say about that time, all of the members were quite out of control and flamed each other constantly.
The one major event of the time was the "Mod Vote". At the time, we were frustrated due to the lack of mod activity and demanded that we have a say in the decision. A group of names were proposed in a thread and those names were voted on by the members. Three member were chosen to be mods, one completely inactive, another the worst mod ever, and the final was a good mod(and close friend of mine) who had to resign. This occurred sometime in 2004. That year, sweetpea also became a mod amid much scandal due to her short time of being a member. The anger mainly came from older members who thought they were better qualified.
In 2005-2006, the majority of the second mod team began to become inactive/resign. This resulted in new mods slowly being chosen over the next couple of years and the only mods who came from that second team are dudettel and Elanorea. I came first, then Miranda, Sarah, and then Silent_Wolf and Hayley. Around that time also(probably at the beginning of 2007), the layout was changed to our current one. The new layout had updated graphics and the new profiles, with comments that we didn't have before. There had long been suggestions of an update and it resulted in this(which has been destined to become the main layout, though the change has been happening slowly). When it opened, we got a massive influx of new members who joined, then left and some of our highest numbers of members online come from that time.
In 2008, after member problems involving trolling and support's decreasing activity and interest in maintaining the forums, it was proposed that a second admin be appointed. This was Miranda and has led to some changes in positions(new mods, "Greeters" created, some promotions) and the forums(member pruning, major cleaning, etc), many of which are yet to come. At the end of 2008, we also had our first forum event ever for Christmas/the Holidays.
Over the years, we have had a few notable instances of member trouble which is worth noting.
That was quite minor and we decided early on we would only hand out infractions for that kind of stuff. She did break rules in the past, that was just the final straw.
O_O wow, how did you find all of that out Kitty?
Just wondering, does anyone, besides support [but she is rarely on, I wouldn't want tobug her D:], know what day the forums actaully opened?
baby, you got me. ♥
Its because I am ancient. No, really, it is because I have been on this site since 2002 and started frequenting the forums in late 2003. I had most of that information stored in my head and sprinkled in some stuff from the mod section that filled in the early holes. There wasn't a lot though, so not everything is complete.
Also, no one else is on the forums who was there. Me and dudettel are the oldest members on here after support.
Don't remind me, I feel ancient enough after recounting all of that D: I just celebrated five years on this account in december and my fourth year of being a mod comes in september(3rd I believe).

I've received a "Getting back onto Facebook" email. I usually receive that email from Facebook when I enter a wrong password, but I'm sure this time it wasn't me!
What should I do now to keep my account safe?
Just enable login notifications. You'll be asked for a device name whenever you login. The name will be sent to your mobile (You have to activate facebook mobile for this). And once you name a device, like "Home",it won't ask again when you login from that device! Logging in from unnamed device always asks you this question. If you don't give a name,you'll get a message like,"an unknown device logged into your account at 15:30. Please change your password if it isn't you." Similarly,you'll get the message when you name a device like,"Home logged into your account at 18:00" but you'll get it only once!
To activate it,refer this!
This message is a scam attempt—phishing to steal your login information. Don't reply to it or attempt to login from the email. If you check the message source, it's not from Facebook, but maybe from a user's email account.
It is clearly a phishing scam. I get this alert to an e-mail account that is not even in my Facebook profile.

This seems to be an area with quite a few myths and conflicting views.
So what is the difference between a table variable and a local temporary table in SQL Server?
This seems to be an area with quite a few myths and conflicting views.
So what is the difference between a table variable and a local temporary table in SQL Server?
This answer discusses "classic" table variables introduced in SQL Server 2000. SQL Server 2014 in memory OLTP introduces Memory-Optimized Table Types. Table variable instances of those are different in many respects to the ones discussed below! (more details).
Storage Location
No difference. Both are stored in
I've seen it suggested that for table variables this is not always the case but this can be verified from the below

This is essentially the same for both types of object. It is stored in the system base tables in

Because the table variable is created and dropped implicitly at the start and the end of the batch it is necessary to use multiple batches in order to see the full logging.

Whilst the quantity of logging is very similar one important difference is that log records related to
Table variables do not support
Many of the execution plans involving table variables will show a single row estimated as the output from them. Inspecting the table variable properties shows that SQL Server believes the table variable has zero rows (Why it estimates 1 row will be emitted from a zero row table is explained by @Paul White here).
However the results shown in the previous section do show an accurate

In SQL Server 2012 SP2, trace flag 2453 is introduced. More details are under "Relational Engine" here.
When this trace flag is enabled it can cause automatic recompiles to take account of changed cardinality as discussed further very shortly.
No column statistics
Having a more accurate table cardinality doesn't mean the estimated row count will be any more accurate however (unless doing an operation on all rows in the table). SQL Server does not maintain column statistics for table variables at all so will fall back on guesses based upon the comparison predicate (e.g. that 10% of the table will be returned for an
SQL Server maintains a count of the number of modifications made to each column. If the number of modifications since the plan was compiled exceeds the recompilation threshold (RT) then the plan will be recompiled and statistics updated. The RT depends on table type and size.
From Plan Caching in SQL Server 2008
The net effect of all this is that often the execution plans generated for

It has been stated that table variables do not participate in locking. This is not the case. Running the below outputs to the SSMS messages tab the details of locks taken and released for an insert statement.

The impact of this on locking might be quite minor however.

For versions prior to SQL Server 2014 indexes can only be created implicitly on table variables as a side effect of adding a unique constraint or primary key.

Non unique indexes can be declared inline in the table variable definition in SQL Server 2014. Example syntax for this is below.

There are a few things I'd like to point out based more on particular experiences rather than study. As a DBA, I'm very new so please do correct me where required.
An important difference is that table variable changes do not get rolled back during a transaction ROLLBACK whereas a temp table will.
This can be a useful feature, e.g. during a transaction certain activities can be logged in a table variable - if the transaction is rolled back then the table variable is available for inspection.

Apartment is in a good location. It is a bit small or much smaller than it looks like on photos. The service of the owners is horrible. They didn't have extra keys for us, once they brought it three days later they were wrong so I was stuck in the middle of the night without keys to enter the apartment. Plus the servicemen were giving us attitude. Need a lesson in hospitality business.
Optimal location apartment, within walking distance from Time Square; We found the apartment not very clean, towels and dirty sheets and also lacked basic services such appendoni for wardrobe and chairs (there were 3 but there was only one).
Given the position it is a little bit noisy.
Findings generally adequate for the convenience of the place.
Posizione appartamento ottimale, a pochi passi da Time Square; abbiamo trovato l'appartamento non ben pulito, asciugamani e lenzuola sporche ed inoltre mancava di servizi minimi quali appendoni per armadio e sedie (eravamo in 3 ma ce ne era soltanto 1).
Vista la posizione risulta un pó rumoroso.
Giudizio complessivamente sufficiente per la comodità del posto.
Hello !!!
The apartment is excellent and very near the "heart" of New York, a marvel.
As the person responsible for having us we do not hear from the time of payment and the day of arrival for check-in became a real odyssey, until we get to reach you by email and had to move to the office then again, with all the luggage ...
El apartamento es excelente y muy cerca del "corazón" de New York, una auténtica maravilla.
En cuanto a la persona encargada de recibirnos no recibimos noticias suyas desde el momento del pago y el día de llegada para hacer el Check-In se convirtió en una auténtica odisea, hasta que conseguimos localizarle por el correo electrónico y tuvimos que desplazarnos hasta la oficina para luego volver, con todas las maletas...
Our experience of this flat was very bad. We got warm water for the shower only one day during the week we spend there. On top of that when we arrived, only one bed had bed sheets out of the three, this was corrected the next day. We asked for a discount due to these two events. We are still waiting for an answer to this request. We paid for services that we didn't enjoy.this is not normal.We hope that Wimdu management will take an action about this. By the way , we are still waiting for the pay back of the damage deposit. Thank you in advance
Fantastic apartment in a great location. Would love to stay there again.
Close to most sites. Apartment was very clean and comfy beds.
Very good location, close to theater district, high line, several subway lines.....rooms were as expected but sofa bed not. Arrangements to get into the apartment OK. Thanks Mo.
This property needs a bit of work. Good location
Arrived outside the apartment, no one there, called, oh since 2 days Rohrbruch, tantamount someone and brings us elsewhere.
Absolute Katarophe, bad location, window pane by a Rigibsplatte replaced (only reingestellt), dirty, no sheets for the sofa bed, shower tray only in a diving suit walked.
The next day, after countless phone calls to get another apartment.
Was slightly better, all the windows available, only,
was still inhabited, shower curtain with a lot of mold spores, had a sofa bed approx sensation 70 years old mattress, no air conditioning (30 degrees), window did not work, the front too loud) Ave. Rear odors through gastronomy. All in all we felt completely ripped off by the host and would never book in life again with him.
Vor dem Apartment angekommen, keiner da, angerufen, oh seit 2 Tagen Rohrbruch, kommt gleich jemand und bringt uns woanders unter.
Absolute Katarophe, schlecht Lage, Fensterscheibe durch eine Rigibsplatte ersetzt (nur reingestellt), dreckig, keine Bettwäsche für die Schlafcouch, Duschwanne nur im Taucheranzug begehbar.
Am nächsten Tag, nach unzähligen Telefonaten ein anderes Apartment bekommen.
War etwas besser, alle Fensterscheiben vorhanden, nur,
war noch bewohnt, Duschvorhang mit jeder Menge Schimmelsporen, Schlafcouch hatte eine ca. gefühlte 70 Jahre alte Matratze, keine Klimaanlage (30Grad), Fenster auf ging auch nicht, vorn zu laut ) Ave. hinten Gerüche durch Gastronomie. Alles in Allem fühlten wir uns durch den Gastgeber komplett verarscht und würde nie im Leben noch einmal bei ihm buchen.
When we arrived home a fine. Host smiling and with a certain humor. Little surprise our housing is undergoing a concern. We offer us alternative accommodation. Smaller but better placed so good we had to adapt. General apartment so this little unforeseen. A very good communication and a host always available.
I recommend
A notre arrive un accueil très bien . Hôte souriant et avec un certaine humour . Petite surprise notre logement étant subit un souci . On nous a proposer un logement de substitution . Plus petit mais mieux placé donc bon il a fallu s'adapte . De manière général appartement ce petit imprévu . Une très bonne communication et un hôte toujours à disposition .
Je recommande
The accommodation has complied with the images. I though it was not clean enough. We had to first clean the sanitary facilities and the kitchen. The beds were stained and there were some hairs on the bed sheet. The location is not Upper East Side but Harlem. That did not bother us as we found it nice in Harlem. For 6 days it was sufficient.
Die Unterkunft hat den Bildern entsprochen. Ich fand sie allerdings nicht sauber genug. Wir mussten erstmal den sanitär Bereich und die Küche putzen. Die Betten hatten Flecken und es waren teilweise Haare auf den Bettlaken. Die Lage ist auch nicht Upper East Side sondern Harlem. Das hat uns nicht gestört da wir es in Harlem nett fanden. Für 6 Tage War es ausreichend.

Nantahala-Pisgah Management Plan to be revised
Published: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 8:27 p.m.
ASHEVILLE – The USDA Forest Service National Forests in North Carolina is beginning the formal process of revising the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests Land and Resource Management Plan, Kristin Bail, forest supervisor, announced Tuesday.
The plan will guide management of the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests for about 15 years.
"I am pleased to announce that the Nantahala and Pisgah Forest Plan will be among the first forest plans across the country to be revised under the new Planning Rule, unveiled earlier this year," said Bail. "Today, we start the multi-year process of using the best available science and input from a wide variety of stakeholders to formulate a Plan that will guide management of the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests into the future."
The forests are two of four national forests in North Carolina that are managed by the Forest Service. They are found in western North Carolina and encompass more than 1 million acres. Together, they are among the most visited national forests in the nation.
The plan revision process will occur over a three- to-four-year period. It begins with the Assessment Phase, which will take about a year to complete. During this phase, the Forest Service will collect and compile data and other information on the current state of the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests.
The Planning Phase will thwn take two to three years to complete. After the plan is completed, the Monitoring Phase will begin and continue until the next plan revision.
In the coming months, the Forest Service will provide details on meetings and other information that foster public participation in the plan revision process. Information about the plan revision process is available at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/nfsnc/nprevision.
Originally published in 1987, the plan received a significant amendment in 1994. Each national forest and grassland is governed by a management plan in accordance with the National Forest Management Act. These plans set management, protection and use goals and guidelines.
The 2012 Planning Rule guides the planning process. The rule includes stronger protections for forests, water and wildlife, while supporting the economic vitality of rural communities. It requires the use of the best available scientific information to inform decisions. The 2012 rule strengthens the role of public involvement and dialogue throughout the planning process.
