Yeah I wish I'd found Jabuti as well while down in BSN. I may have had an easier time of it
He's pretty handy in BSP as well (so far)
"My" Jabuti seems to have hit a tough streak with injuries and has missed around ten games by the end of October. Too bad, since he has scored 11 in 7 games until now. But no matter, because his main replacement (David Gilroy) has 14 goals in 12 apps, our new target man Declan Bunting has 4 goals and 7 assists in 14 apps, and new guy and ex-Celtic youngster James Keatings got one goal and one assist on his debut against Eastbourne Boro in the FA Cup. Meanwhile, we're still unbeaten in all competitions.
Yeah, this is a bragging post . Let's see if this amulet against forum curse that someone sold me yesterday really works...
Is it wrong to want the curse to hit for a couple of games??
I'm in need of a few AMC's, you guys know of anyone?
Not even my luck can stop the curse coming. (Ask Midgetram for how lucky I am at times)
It struck me after I said we may be okay this season, and we've been erratic ever since. We're still doing well, but we lose games we should win, lose high leads. Damn curse!
Time to win a trophy. Got my third league cup final up next. At least we don't have to play Man City this time.
Lovely, just beat Pompeii 2-0. Taking us 3 points behind 2nd place Hull with a game in hand. Burnley are looking untouchable up top at the moment with 73 after 34 games. But I've done it before, I could do it again.
With the new patch out I will be starting this. After last year getting Boston to the Championship hopefully with my new team I can go one step further. I am holidaying now but just wondering is there an updated list of team reputations for the new patch or did they stay the same as 10.2?
Pfft, I did this with old, **** reputation Canvey
League Cup final played, FA Cup quarter final next. We lost 4-2 at Stamford Bridge in the league this season, here's hoping we can do a bit better in the cup.

Thanks, after holidaying I decided to go with Wealdstone in the Blue Square North.

I hate Chelsea
Aww my computer crashed and I hadn't saved
Now I have to buy half my players again...
This screenshot pretty much sums up our BSP campaign so far - rubbish in defence, but a great spirit and plenty of goalscoring potential means we're never out of a game. And it's yielded 12 wins from 13 so far, and a 7 point lead at the top
Until the forum curse hits of course
Yet again, 2-0 up against Burnley, and the game ends 2-2. It's getting a bit stupid now. We lost 4-0 to Ipswich in the previous game. Still in the playoffs though (just), with a game in hand.
Hm, looks like we won't reach the 3rd round of the FA Cup this time... Lincoln City at home in the 2nd round is a bit of a toughie. Oh well, not a bad run again anyway.

5 promotions in 6 games. Fair play, congratulations!!
Oh my God, just got promoted to League 2 on penalties in the play-off final!
Have to say though, the side-story of Farsley Celtic is much more interesting - after they knocked us off the top of the league, they were 8 points clear with 6 games to go. By the final round of fixtures, our form had dipped massively, but Wrexham kept on stringing together the wins, going level on points with Farsley, and ahead on GD. They both won their games, and Wrexham were up.
In the play-offs I expected them to dominate, but Aldershot knocked them out 3-0 on aggregate - very disappointing season for a team worth 6M, with unreal players and Simon Clifford as manager after a tycoon takeover. That said, they didn't get promoted with 95 points. Unbelievable season.
Simply because I think this will be the only time we will see this during the season....
Edit - That's more like it... 3-0 loss to Everton.

So many games in the BSP. I'm playing every Sat and Tues at the mo. Already played over a quarter of the season and it's only the end of September.
Lost my Kendal save because of the crash
Just holidayed and got Banbury this time. Wish me luck, I'll need it.

Still does for 10.0.3 patch.
We need to sort out the drainage at Bridge Avenue. Too many games postponed for a waterlogged pitch!
Title race is ON. That win puts us just two points behind City with seven games left; I don't expect to win the title, but it's nice to be in there come squeaky bum time.
Gowaaaaarn Terk.
Fair play to Crewe. Just sealed promotion atfer 12 wins on the spin!!
Just after I've agreed a deal to sell my useless £20M Brazilian striker to Milan in the summer for £20M, he goes and starts scoring for fun.
FC United - Coca Cola League Two - Season 2014/2015
After some promising summer transfers, I really hoped we could push for a play-off place although it didn't look too promising after we lost 3 of our first 5 games. However after that, it was just a series of positives as various unbeaten runs saw us climb up the table. 9 unbeaten before our 4th loss of the season, then a 13 game unbeaten run before a loss. Then amazingly we nearly went for the rest of the season unbeaten but lost to Shrewsbury towards the end of the season to end a fantastic 22 game unbeaten run and also start a little poor run of form to finish the season with. Defensively we were strong and going forward we rarely smashed teams but won alot of games comfortably like 2-0/3-0.
League Table
5. Herman Goore -Probably doesn't deserve to be in there. However after signing him in January without even seeing his stats, he earnt his place almost straight away and is proving to be a solid buy. He's only young and has improved month on month. Can't wait for him to keep progressing!
4. Dany N'Guessan - Good second season and added a few more goals to his game which was pleasing. His performances from the right were very consistant and overall a really good season from him!
3. Sam Turner - Our top scorer. On loan for the season, he provided us with alot of pace which is always key. On his own upfront for alot of the season and was always a willing runner of the channels.
2. Ashley Coleman - He keeps getting better and better. His second season and he keeps performing for us and also was upgraded to vice-captain. Big step up next year into league one and hopefully he can hold us together at the back.
1. Michael Noone - This is exactly why this man is captain. Some heroic performances in key games and our driving force in midfield. Goals, assists and high quality performances. 3rd time in 4 seasons he's won this awards, well done!

C'mon Terk!
Nearly done with my 2nd season now, should post the update before I head to bed tonight
Mini update.
33 games gone now, and a 94th minute equaliser for Newcastle at Power Stadium (Citeh's ground), coupled with our 3-0 win over Leicester, means that both us and City are on 76 points. Our goal difference is +41, theirs is +39.
Our fixtures:
Reading (A)
Stoke (H)
Newcastle (A)
Notts Forest (H)
Everton (A)
City's fixtures:
Notts Forest (A)
Everton (H)
Tottenham (A)
West Ham (H)
Aston Villa (A)
I could easily see both sides winning each of their remaining fixtures and this coming down to goal difference. My big hope is that because they're still in the CL and the FA Cup, their fixture congestion might cause them to drop a couple of points somewhere. I do think that we'll have to win all five of our games to take the title though.
Oh, and big congratulations on promotion, TPF
Just realised my Physio was called Steve Slaughter. I sacked him straight away...
Gratz TPF

Here it is then! After many, many, many, many loads and not getting the teams i wanted (Leamington and Evesham) the somewhat legendary manager (I wish!) Marcus Evan Cook takes charge at........ Truro
Now comes the fun bit!
SnakeXe's Tiverton Town - Season 2 - 2011/12
Story of the Season:
I was slightly apprehensive as to how we'd adapt to the higher standard - but I needn't have worried, if anything we were even more dominant! We scored goals for fun from the very beginning, and barely dropped points in the first 15 matches. When we did finally lose one, we responded with even better form. This culminated in my biggest win to date, 7-1 over AFC Wimbledon.
With the league resembling a procession, attention turned to the cup competitions. We did far better in the FA Cup this year, earning ourselves a 2nd Round tie against League One's Port Vale. We should have beaten them in the home tie, they nicked an equaliser late on, but then walked over us in the replay.
As for the FA Trophy, we made hard work of almost every round, but got to the semi-final where we faced Gateshead. A spate of injuries meant we could only draw 1-1 at home, setting it up nicely for the away leg. An early goal for them put us under pressure, but we responded well to win it 2-1 very late on.
In the league, the results kept coming, and we opened up a very healthy lead at the top. Finally we secured the title after 42 games, and the board though they'd celebrate it by giving me a huge transfer budget!
This just left the FA Trophy Final against BSN side Hinckley. Easy for a side who'd just stormed their way to the BSP title, right?
Wrong. So, so, angry injuries ruined our team but we still should have had enough.
Jabuti and I cleaned house again on the individual awards.
Next Season:
We should be getting our first members of the Tiverton 100 Club (see below). With the dominance we displayed in the BSP we should have to target the Playoffs at least in League Two. I'd also like to buy a defender who can defend
5 Most Important Players:
5. Anton Peterlin MC - Produced some imperious displays in the centre of midfield
4. Martin Riley DC - Defensively iffy, but a ridiculous threat from set pieces, nearly a goal every other game
3. Daniel Jones D/ML - Played at both DL and ML for me and did fantastically at both, contributed plenty of seats
2. Chad Bond ST - Great foil for the man at number 1 in this list, scored and created
1. Jabuti FC - 58 goals in a season is more than any other player I've ever had on FM10, a truly incredible effort
At a Glance:
Blue Square Premier - 1st, Promoted as Champions
FA Cup - 2nd Round Replay (lost v Port Vale)
FA Trophy - Runners Up (lost v Hinckley)
Transfers - Broke even

Tough loss against Hinckley in the FA Trophy, but you won't be getting much sympathy from me given that kind of league season Brilliant work
Jabuti does it again...
Gratz on the Promotion
Yeah I was pretty disappointed there... especially as I missed out on it with Merthyr too, haven't won it on FM10 yet.
Edit: Thanks Holyehsauce, he really is something isn't he! Mind, the rest of the boys pulled their weight too - think we could probably have just about done it without him, but he really put the style into proceedings
Bleh. Lincoln needed a replay, an unfair sending off and a good amount of luck to beat us. After twenty-something matches unbeaten now we've lost two in a row. I blame Terk .
I do too
Just won 3-0 against the favourites Chester. Jabuti didn't even score one. I Guess we don't need him at all!
I bet Forum Curse will kick in and Jabuti will get injured or something
He just got a facial injury
I guess he should be called Jaugly now.
Done some more preparation before my long term dafuge's.
Currently contemplating whether to go with Dartford or Park Avenue.
I also did some reloading to get FCUM but they never came up.
I downloaded the save from the save thread but the database it's on is crap.
Wow. 7 games into the season. 2 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses. And we crashed out to Nottingham Forest in the league cup.
Not going particularly well so far. My only real consolation is that my Keeper, despite getting a good few goals scored against him, is pulling out 7-9 performances regularly, which included 2 penalty saves against Forest.
8 games in now.
All 8 won.

Premier League
Premier League
My target for this season was to consolidate our position in the top four, to qualify again for the Champions League and starting raking in the cash from Europe's big table that would allow us to build the team to end Man City's domination. For the first time we had a really significant net spend, perhaps summed up by the £19.5M spent on Andrade from Flamengo. Having scored 124 goals for them in 186 games I thought he was ready for the step up, and he eventually proved that he was, just not until after I'd agreed to sell him to Milan for £20M.
We started the season very well (a week three hiccup at Aston Villa aside) and much to my surprise we largely kept up with the pacesetters. We kept going on runs of four or five wins and never lost twice in a row, though we did look for a moment in January like dropping off the pace when we suffered three defeats in five games, but after we lost 2-1 at home to Q.P.R., we went on a thirteen game unbeaten run that had us right in the mix. In the midst of that run was a 1-0 success at Man City's Power Stadium that first made me think we might be in with a chance of the title, and then when we topped the charts with five games to go after they drew with Newcastle, I started to get nervous.
An incredible come-from-behind win over Reading opened up a points gap as City drew their second consecutive game (against Tottenham) and we then beat Stoke, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest to make sure we went into the final day ahead. With a four goal lead in the goal difference column, we likely only needed a draw at Everton, but despite our best efforts at a comeback we were undone. It didn't matter, however, as Aston Villa stepped up to be our heroes, and ensuring that Canvey Island were named Premier League Champions!
League Positions Graph
Past Winners
Favoured Personnel. Finally.
League Cup
My desire for a trophy focused in the early part of the season on the League Cup. Having twice lost in the final to Man City, I was determined that we could win it and finally put some silverware in the cabinet. We took extra time to beat Blackburn before stuffing Tottenham and then coming from behind to beat Villa in the quarter final. The semi final draw was kind to us, pairing us with Sheffield United, whom we dominated in the first leg and destroyed in the second. Everton saved us from facing a third League Cup final against Man City by beating them on penalties in the semis, and their reward was to get stuffed in the final.
FA Cup
I sniffed a cup double having dispensed with Arsenal 5-2 in round five, but drawn against the might of Chelsea in the quarters, we stood no chance and went down 4-1.
Champions League
We took time to adapt to the level and eventually that came back to bite us in the ass. Defeats against Standard and Bayern in the first two weeks left us reeling before Patrick Marongiu inspired a stunning victory over Benfica. We couldn't get anything from the return game, but when we duffed up Standard on Match Day Five, we left ourselves with a chance of qualification. We battered Bayern senseless on the final day, but only enough to get a 1-1 draw, which meant not even the consolation of the Europa League as we finished bottom of the group.
Top 5 Players
5. Adam Hutchinson - He may not look all that great for a defensive midfield role, but his sixteen assists speak otherwise. A calming influence in the middle of the park able to put his foot on the ball and dictate the tempo of the game. A classy player who thoroughly deserves his call up to Euro 2024.
4. Giovanni Pasini - I have maligned Gio's aerial ability on many an occasion, but he made up for it this season, sitting behind a brilliant defence and putting in performance after performance of shot-stopping brilliance. I'll forgive the occasional dropped cross and kamikaze charge that do cost us goals for someone who can keep nineteen clean sheets in a league season. He earned his contract extension.
3. Juan Collado - Perhaps Dirk Kuijt, rather than Emile Heskey would be the better comparison for Juan, given the sheer amount of grass he covers in a game. The work horse who is often the first name on my team sheet despite not having the technical skills that others do, Juan finally got his time to shine this season. An ever present in our league campaign, weighing in with fifteen goals and a legend in our league cup success, Juan is starting to win favour in his adopted nation and is definitely amongst my 'untouchables'.
2. James Murphy - A centre back who scores thirteen goals in a season, gets voted into the World XI and doesn't get my #1 pick? Despite being utterly brilliant for most of the season, there were games in which James was goppingly awful in this campaign, and a few of those really did cost us points. For that reason he has to make do with #2 for this season, but I wouldn't for the first moment think of selling him, and if he does have the good grace to see out his career with us, he could just be the one to break the club league appearance record.
1. Patrick Marongiu - Patrick scored in fits and starts this season, but a striker who scores thirty three goals and adds ten assists, no matter how they come, has to be near the top. It was the importance of his strikes that won out for him, and not just his five haul against Benfica. He regularly popped up late on with crucial strikes or simply took the game away from the opposition early on with some utter brilliance. Having had him on loan twice before I already knew how good he could be and this season just confirmed it.
Next Season
Retaining the title will be a very tall order. Top four is a must, as is getting into the knockout stages of the Champions League. Another trophy would be nice as well, now that I've got the taste for them.

Board have just announced another stadium expansion. Come November our capacity will be 33,414. It'll cost £11.5M, which is basically covered by my CL TV revenue from last season, so pretty happy all round right now.
Nice looking season there Terk. Well don eon taking the PL
Think you have to give players until the second season to adapt to a new league but at least you made your money back on him.
Decided to use the FCUM save from the list.
Signed Dale Johnson, Jabuti , Paul Green and still need a centre back, goalie and centre midfielder. Any suggestions?
Congratulations on winning your first trophy Terk...
Great job Terk, first silverware!
If Andrade was unhappy all year until you agreed to sell him, then he was happy about going to leave, him starting playing well kind of makes sense. Still annoying though

League Table , Position Graph final position - 7th
The league was a total surprise to me as I basically would have been happy with 17th. So to finsh 10 places higher and also to quualify for Europe at the first try is quite frankly amazing. We did have a fair old blip in February and March going on a six game non winning streak. However we overcame that an deventually finished 7th.
FA Cup
The FA cup was a complete and utter disaster. Going out in the 3rd round to Leicester who play in the championship. Although it was a blessing in disguise as it meant I could concentrate more on the League.
League Cup
We seem to be getting better in the Carling Cup, progressing as we have done the last few seasons. We carried on this season with a Semi Final appearance against Everton.
Smashed the transfer fees paid twice this season. However the squad stayed basically the same with a few players brought in to help us stay up.
Star Player
The star player this season has been Jonas Bergstrand
Bergstrand made the step up to Premier League football easily. Scoring 21 goals in the league.
Awards he recieved are Top Scorer and a place in the Players Team of the Year
Key Players
Roberto Allevi Solid between the sticks all season.
Charlie Harber Made the step up to the Premier League and looked as though his whole career had been spent there.
Giancarlo Bruno My most expensive signing at £11 million. Played most games and was great down the left.
Antonis Labakis Held the record for being my biggest transfer for a couple of weeks. Young but managed to be first on the team sheet in central midfield due to his great performances.
Barry Alexander Good strong right midfielder who chipped in a few goals.
Finances have been kept high enough due to gate reciepts and also Prize money for finishing where we did.
Also the board has decided to expand the Boston United Stadium by another 5750 seats. Taking our total seats to 21500.

Excellent first season in the Premier League, Almondo
Midfielder: Alan Power or Lloyd Kerry - These two were my partnership for my first season in the BSN and were fantastic. You should be able to get both on a free.
Goalkeeper: Michael Poke or Gary Woods - if you can get either of them, I signed these two in the BSP, but if you can get them in the BSN they'd be great!
Great season Almondo, and congratulations Terk!
After 8 games we are struggling and sitting in 21st with just 6 points. I haven't been able to find barely any good players to sign. I think I will go for just a flat 4-4-2 as that seems to be the tactic I have had the most success with. It looks like we will be just looking to survive relegation this season.
Okay our first foray into European football saw us run out comfortable 8-0 on aggregate winners over MTK of Hungary
Damn Terk, stop being so good at this already .

Our collection of Barn Lighting shows our devotion to bringing the styles and craftsmanship of vintage lighting fixtures to the modern era. Based on the porcelain RLM warehouse shades designs dating back almost 100 years, we've attempted to revive these styles for modern installation. In that era lighting fixtures required high levels of durability to withstand installation in taxing and demanding settings. Regularly found in agricultural settings, gooseneck barn lights were used to brighten the exteriors of barns, stables, silos and farmhouses. These shades were additionally utilized as warehouse lighting, directing light to specific work areas and other areas needing light.
In order to meet the high demands, these original manufacturers made their fixtures to last. They did this by incorporating only high quality metal and built each shade by hand. The coupling of solid metal and hand-craftsmanship resulted in an unparalleled longevity — with many of those original fixtures surviving to this day.
This selection of barn lighting embodies both the style and high quality craftsmanship found in those original wall lights. We make our fixtures using the same procedures as the original manufacturers. Incorporating only high quality, commercial grade metal, our team of skilled artisans hand-sculpt each RLM shade into the necessary shape. Paying careful attention to the craftsmanship helps our gooseneck wall lighting endure just as long as its historic predecessors. When you install a light from Barn Light Electric you're receiving a long lasting and stylish addition to your space.
As gooseneck lighting each fixture affixes an RLM warehouse shade to a straight or curved arm. This affords the necessary options to bring light to your spaces — reflecting your individual tastes and needs. Because of its sturdy construction, most shades can be utilized as exterior commercial lighting, security lighting and sign lighting. In addition to those more practical purposes, wall lighting gifts a sense of style to your space. You'll find a wide selection of shade styles, sizes, colors and accessories — whatever you need to match your tastes!

I have a Core 2 Duo firstname.lastname@example.com with 3GB RAM. After some time using XUbuntu 10.10 on an 8GB stick I decided to switch to 12.04 and put it onto a 32GB stick (Transcend).
I use an EXT4 with no journalling, noatime etc set. /tmp and /run is using tmpfs.
And it is REALLY slow. MUCH slower than the old Xubuntu on the 8GB stick. Starting takes minutes, all applications "fade" because they respond too slow.
I first thought that the NVidia graphics card is responsible for this, because there seem to be some known problems with that. Doing the adjustment (uncheck the sync checkbox) did not help.
I believe the root cause is that the access to the USB stick is extremely slow. Running the read benchmark of the disk utility then brought the message "disk is too slow to benchmark"!
BUT: When I do the same benchmark with the live CD I get around 20MB read performance and have a very responsive system!
So how can I find out what is going one here?

AK Steel said today that it is adding a titanium component to its stainless steel raw material surcharge, because of a nearly five-fold rise in cost of the steelmaking alloy since the beginning of 2004. The surcharge, effective with shipments on and after May 1, 2005, will be applied to all grades of stainless steel sheet, strip, and plate products that contain a titanium addition.
The company said its surcharge will be calculated based on the percentage of titanium utilized by stainless steel grade, using a base rate of $3.50 per pound in conjunction with the average monthly price as published by Ryan's Notes for US 68 percent–72 percent grade titanium. The monthly average titanium price for March 2005, which will be used to calculate the surcharge for May shipments, is $14.889 per pound. The titanium component will be included in the company's May 2005 stainless steel surcharges, which are to be published later this month.

Summify Spotlight – Jessica Newell
Our Summify Spotlight series showcases how everyday people use Summify, sharing their productivity tips and favorite sources to help you get the most out of your summaries.
About Jessica: Jessica Newell is founder of J Newell Media, an online media goods company that focuses on helping entrepreneurs in the creative industries develop their web presence and maintain nurturing social media relations. With an extensive background in the dance industry, on the job experience in business administration and a firm grasp on understanding the design world, Jessica has cultivated a unique perspective on what success in online business entails. Now its time for her to share it with the world.
Enter Jessica
Summify has become one of my best sources of connecting with followers on Twitter. I first started using it to keep track of the latest tweeted stories each morning as my day got rolling. This was a tremendous benefit to me as a Twitter newbie because it helped me save hours of searching through all of those tweets for posts that were read worthy.
My primary goals for connecting via social media are to stay on the cutting edge of all that's going on and build a strong network of professional relationships and I've been pleasantly surprised at how well Summify supports both of these. Beyond spotlighting the latest content from my networks, I've found Summify's notification feature to be a nifty little service that sends you a Direct Message straight to Twitter every time your summary is ready. This may be one of my favorite features. Who doesn't love a way to keep your email inbox clean while getting all of the info you rely on? (plus it gives me a reason to check a DM inbox that's filled with mostly spammy requests.)
BUT, by far the number 1 reason why I love Summify – and this was a real surprise to me – it helps me reconnect with my followers!
I set up the auto-tweet messages and while I haven't customized my own message yet, I'm already seeing results from Summify's random selection of sharing messages. Since it tweets my daily Summify, including a few Twitter handles of those included, it gives exposure to my contributors, sharing them with my fans, and helps me connect with them.
From the day I started using this feature I've had people reply to me thanking me for including them in those tweets. And of course, since I can't take credit for it I always reply back letting them know it was all thanks to Summify! It's like a little busy bee worker for me that I get to delegate tasks too.
And while I haven't crunched any numbers, the true ROI for me comes because I get to promote others and re-engage with them. My goal is to continue to make this a part of my social media engagement strategy and as things go forward I'm hoping to personalize this process even more by commenting directly on the post that gets Summifyed.
Here are some of my favorite Twitter picks:
@ThereseCator – helping people turn their passion into a movement
@CharlieGrosso – Fire starter. Rule Breaker. Photographer. World Traveler.
@KeshaBruce – Artist, Gallery Director, Storyteller, Over-Priced Shoe buyer
@PapernStitch – I promote artists & makers of all things handmade for a living

Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes. It is inspired mainly by Assessment, but also by Recount.
Skada sports segmented fights and detailed views, while being highly efficient with memory. This is accomplished by aggregating data on fight segments.
Skada is entirely modular. The built-in modes can all be toggled on/off.
- Automatic mode switching when entering combat. For example, you can have Threat mode be shown in combat. Skada can switch back after combat ends.
- Specific fight segments can be kept indefinately.
- Multiple windows. Each window can be configured fully.
- Threat mode can warn on high threat.
- Modes: Damage done, DPS, Threat, Enemy damage done, Enemy damage taken, Healing, Overhealing, Total healing, Absorbs estimated, Damage taken, Dispels, Mana regen, Debuff uptimes, and more.
- Reports can be done everywhere. For example, you can report a certain player's Debuff uptimes.
- Summary information for most modes (DPS, HPS, Fails, etc) in a LDB view/minimap button.
- LDB data feed can show personal/raid DPS or personal threat.
- Support for SharedMedia and Class Colors.
- Class and role icons.
- Stop/Resume fight segments to discount irrelevant data.
Skada is very easy to extend, and there are many "plug-in" addons out there that add functionality, such as:
- Skada Graphs: Adds graph display systems to Skada
- SkadaScroll: Provides additional options for scrolling the bar displays
- Skada Avoidance and Mitigation: Helps tanks benchmark their damage reduction performance via avoidance and mitigation
- Skada for Tanks: Adds information useful for evaluating a tank's performance
- SkadaEnsidiaFails: Display fails based on EnsidiaFails in Skada
- Skada_FriendlyFire: Display friendly fire damage done by players
- Skada Ability Tracker: Display abilities used and cooldown efficiency
There is a page with API information here.
Navigation in Skada is done by "drilling down" to the information you want. You go to a lower level, showing more detailed information, by clicking on it, and you go to a higher level by right-clicking.
The top level is the list of all saved fight segments. The second level is the list of all available data modes, such as Damage Done. The third level is one of these modes. Most modes let you drill down for further details. Some modes have several detailed views. In this case you choose alternate views by holding certain keys pressed while clicking. For example, in Damage mode, you can Shift-click a player to see what enemies the player caused damage to. Tooltips will display how to reach the different views.
You can also use window buttons for selecting fight segment and mode directly.
Scrolling in Skada is done with the mousewheel.
New Skada windows can be created from the configuration screen. Each window can be separately configured. A popular feature is "Mode switching", which lets Skada automatically switch to a specific mode on entering combat.
There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada.
Suggestions and bug reports here. Bug reports in comments will be deleted.
"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

Photographer Tanya Schmid '11 has had no shortage of incredible photo opportunities over the past four years. Her experiences hiking the Appalachian Trail, camping in the Maine wilderness, leading a canoe trip for incoming freshman, winning an amateur snowboarding competition, driving solo across the country, even spending a night in a subway, would leave even the most casual of photographers with a collection of wall-worthy shots.But for Schmid, who likes to challenge her optimistic worldview by confronting its ugly realities, she says, those aren't the kinds of photo ops she's looking for.
Schmid's senior project in photography and Spanish, which opened as an exhibition on May 18 at the Vermont Arts Exchange in North Bennington, gives a better indication of where she likes to aim her lens.
"I want to open people's eyes to the injustices in the world, the beauty and the solidarity," she says.
From speaking with the local community, or more importantly, listening to them—something Schmid says that no one has been doing—she discovered that the Chilean government has only recently acknowledged the unspeakable conditions in Arica, and, even still, the residents have not been relocated, nor have they received adequate health care, compensation, or education.
Fifty-three year-old Matilde Mamani Villafán (pictured in wheelchair) is also suffering from cancer. Having once weighed more than 250 lbs., the disease has left her frail and weak—at one point a mere 55 lbs.
"During our conversation," Schmid recalls, "there was an hour in which she cried and cried, letting out all of her pain, her history, all of her hopes and dreams. It was by far the most difficult interview that I conducted. Yet it was also the most beautiful and powerful."

The MLS Champions took top spot in their CCL group with a win where their big names showed up.The Robbie Keane/Landon Donovan axis again proved fruitful for Los Angeles as the Galaxy defeated Cartagines of Costa Rica in the CONCACAF Champions League group stage at the StubHub Center.
The Galaxy had the better of the early going, with Robbie Keane particularly lively. The Irishman had a number of near-misses including a shot across Wardy Alfaro' far post in the 22nd and an effort late in the half where Alfaro made a save on Keane's tight-angle shot at the near side.
It took the introduction of fellow DP Landon Donovan in the second half for Keane to find the net. The American star spotted Keane making a run to the far post and sent a long ball over the top and across the field. Keane collected well and slotted his finish under and off of Alfaro to take a lead in the 66th minute.
Keane doubled up in second-half stoppage time, again fed by Donovan, who cut an excellent through-ball to leave Keane all alone in front of Alfaro's net, and it was a simple deed for the decorated forward to finish.
Los Angeles moves to first place in Group 8 following the win. LA will next host El salvador's Isidro Metapan on Sept. 18.

The interactive process by which an individual gains an understanding of what will be involved in receiving a medical or surgical procedure or treatment is called informed consent. In most cases, the process is focused primarily on the individual who is considering the proposed procedure or treatment. In certain circumstances, however, such as emergencies or situations where the individual is physically, mentally or legally incompetent to participate in the informed consent process, another person may be the primary decision maker. This person may be a family member or someone whom the individual has designated for health care decision making through a document called a durable power of attorney.
Although the exact content included in informed consent varies from individual to individual and from situation to situation, the following components should be included:
It is the responsibility of the physician to present all information necessary for informed consent to the individual and involved family members in a way that is understood by them. This includes the use of words, phrases and language that they understand. If necessary, an interpreter should be involved. In addition, other members of the health care team, such as nurses, may clarify information and answer questions regarding the information presented by the physician.
Throughout the entire process, questions are encouraged to help ensure full understanding of all aspects of the proposed procedure or treatment. For this reason, more than one discussion with the physician and other health care professionals may be required. Throughout the dialogue, the goal remains the same - to provide the individual with the information necessary to make the best decision given their individual condition and personal circumstances.
For many procedures and treatments, informed consent includes signing a written consent form. The content of this document should include the information as described above, and should be consistent with the discussions which have taken place between the physician, other health care professionals and the individual. The written consent should not be signed until all questions have been answered fully. By signing, however, the individual does not in any way give up the right to ask additional questions or to withdraw consent at any time. The consent form is also signed by the physician and, in some cases, a third party witness. Once signed, the informed consent document becomes part of the individual's permanent medical record. A copy of the signed form is provided to the individual, upon request.
OncoLink is designed for educational purposes only and is not engaged in rendering medical advice or professional services. The information provided through OncoLink should not be used for diagnosing or treating a health problem or a disease. It is not a substitute for professional care. If you have or suspect you may have a health problem or have questions or concerns about the medication that you have been prescribed, you should consult your health care provider.

Governor has reservations over raw milk plan
Submitted: 10/03/2013
Story By Associated Press
- When it comes to raw milk, Governor Scott Walker remains a little sour.
Walker spoke about his reservations yesterday during the World Dairy Expo in Madison.
A bill to legalize on-farm raw milk sales in Wisconsin has been introduced in the Legislature and has bipartisan support.
Walker says he will look at the proposal.
He wants to make certain that any bill protects Wisconsin's 2-point-6 billion dollar dairy industry.
He wants to study the impact on the farm industry, and health concerns.
Supporters of legalizing raw milk sales say it has health benefits and is safe.
Opponents say not pasteurizing milk needlessly puts people's health at risk and jeopardizes Wisconsin's dairy industry.

Bison farmers share the health benefits with the midwest
Submitted: 07/27/2016
Play Video
- Driving through the Northwoods, you can see plenty of deer, cows, and horses… But bison? That's a little rarer.
Unless you travel to a ranch in Florence County, where the Rock family thinks they've tapped into a special and healthy food source.
Raising bison has always seemed normal to Michael Rock. His favorite is Badaxe, who is 25 years old.
"He became my baby and I feed him maple syrup and apples all the time, that's his favorite treat," said Michael.
But the Rock family knows their livestock are rare for these parts.
"We got into it for the health issues because now we know what we're eating," said David.
David started the business about 10 years ago. These days, the Rocks have around 130 bison on their Florence County ranch.
"For me this is enjoyment because I'm outside and I'm with my family. And I like to be outside and work with them on that," said David.
Two of the Rocks' four children live and work on the ranch.
"Being able to tell them what to do. I'm still the dad, so I rule the roost. They are a big help and they do have good ideas. You do have to watch the younger generation," said David.
Their daughter, Josie, and son, Michael, help with feeding and maintaining the herd.
"My favorite are the babies. The babies when they're younger, they like fighting and playing. And they'll just be running around and playing," said Josie.
But raising these animals isn't just about entertainment. In the 1800's, bison were almost killed off. Now, the Rocks hope to promote the animal's health benefits be carefully managing which ones go to be processed.
"Bison is about the only other meat out there that they can eat. It's healthier than chicken, it's healthier than salmon, pig, beef, anything. It's the top of the line," said Karen.
Raising an animal is a large project, one that Michael would like to do for a long time.
"I like bailing hay with the tractors, I like taking care of the animals. I have a future goal, to have big barns full of them," said Michael.
All of their meat is sent to the U. P. to a USDA approved facility and most of it stays local to the Midwest.

UW-Stevens Point's "American Suzuki Institute" camp bridging language gap through music

- Watching her grandsons, Ben and Marty, learn to play in harmony with a large group of strangers, Jeanne Wieland knew the outdoor concert was a proud moment.
"Nice to see them develop the confidence in their abilities," Wieland said.
Wieland drove up to Stevens Point from northwestern Illinois to join her family at the UW-Stevens Point's "American Suzuki Institute."
The week-long camp brings together more than 1,000 students and families to learn the Suzuki method.
"There are so many ways to get the kids focused on what they're doing and if they, like normal kids, get off they are able to bring them back," Wieland said of the camp's instructors. "It's not painful."

Feingold prepares for August primary
Submitted: 07/27/2016
Play Video
- In less than two weeks, Wisconsin voters will head to the polls to vote in the state's primary.
That's why former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) is encouraging people to vote on August 9th.
He faces another democratic senate candidate Scott Harbach from Kenosha.
"I wouldn't say I'm nervous but I take nothing for granted," Feingold said at a Wausau event on Wednesday.
"You should never take an election for granted and that's why we're working very hard at traveling all over the state this week to help people take advantage of early voting and if not to make sure they get out to vote on August 9th."
If Feingold wins the election, he faces incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in November.
A recent Marquette University Law School poll shows Feingold leading. The link is posted below.
But Feingold said he doesn't want to get too hung up on the numbers.
"I don't want to get really serious about polling, that isn't the way that I've ever conducted myself," Feingold said. "What I do is go out to listen to people and find out directly not through polling what people are thinking and how they're feeling."
A third candidate named Phillip Anderson is also running for the same senate seat. He is a libertarian from Fitchburg.

Ghoul touch states 'Fortitude negates' in the main stat-section. In the text nothing is said about that, except that targets that enter the area of the ghoul stench have a saving throw against the effects of the stench. Does that mean the main target is affected by the paralysis as long the touch attack hits, or does it have a saving throw in addition?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
I read the rules as you need to hit with both a touch attack and the target must fail his saving throw for the spell to have an effect. The mother of all basic touch attack spells, the Cure/Inflict Wounds school of spells, requires a touch attack and a save. Ghoul Touch has two effects, the first of which being Paralysis. Paralysis is a very harsh effect, and since you can keep a touch spell "on hand" until you touch, the saving throw is the only chance a defending creature has to not get taken out of the fight.
Blindness-Deafness is an example of a spell that does not say in its description that there is a saving throw against the effects, because it says on the saving throw line that fortitude negates the effect. To say so again is not necessary. This is relevant to the Ghoul Touch spell because, like Blindness-Deafness, it says once that the spell effect is negated by a fortitude save, and only differs in that it has a secondary effect (the sickening effect). It is this second effect that is clarified by the spells description as also being negated by a saving throw.
A character who has been touched with the touch attack must make a save. If he fails, he is paralyzed for 1d6+2 rounds, and every living creature within 10' is repelled by the stench and must make another save.
Ghoul touch is worded kind of strangely, compared to other similar spells, one thing is clear: If a spell allows a save, then that spell describes exactly what that save means in it's description. The only mention of a fortitude save in the spell's description is in relation to the stench. Since the spell doesn't say that the target gets a save against the paralysis, they don't.
In response to Cthos's comment on the question: Chill touch has "Fortitude Partial" because the target takes one effect no matter what, and a secondary effect if they fail a save. Ghoul touch is "Fortitude Negates" because the main target takes the effect no matter what, but secondary targets get a save to negate. The difference is that any one target either takes the full effect targeting them, or takes nothing.

Applicant Management System (People Admin)
Smith College uses PeopleAdmin, a web-based job posting and recruiting software program that streamlines the entire recruitment and candidate management process.
PeopleAdmin allows for an automated approval process of the position authorization, collection of employment applications online, electronic screening of candidates, distribution of applications electronically to hiring managers and search committees, and communication with candidates via e-mail.
The use of PeopleAdmin results in shorter timeframes for filling jobs and provides more cost-efficient recruitment that draws a more diverse pool of candidates. Hiring managers and those related to the posting will be provided with hands-on training when they have a position to post.
Note: You must either user Internet Explorer 7.0 or Firefox 3.6. If you need assistance with your Web browser, please contact the User Support Center, at (413) 585-4487.
Staff Hiring
Prior to starting the online posting process
- You must contact Serena Harris. Serena will work with you to: finalize your new, modified, or reviewed job description; go through a prerecruitment plan; and discuss your posting options.
- You must contact David DeSwert in the budget office to discuss funding for the position.
- Hiring managers should have notified their department head and senior staff officer prior to starting the online posting process. This will allow for faster turnaround of the online approval process.
Using PeopleAdmin
- To start the online posting process, the department completes the Posting Details, Recruitment Plan, and Posting Specific Questions information and submits it electronically for approval.
- Once the online posting has gone through its approvals, it is sent to human resources for final review and posted to the website and other advertising sources as requested.
- Once the position is posted, applicants may begin to apply online.
- Candidate information is easily accessible online and can be shared with search committee members.
- The system also facilitates communication with applicants to send position status notifications or final acknowledgement letters.
Please Note
- The following position types must be authorized through PeopleAdmin: regular staff, grant-funded, limited-term, casual temporary and agency temps.
- Academic departments have the option of using PeopleAdmin for faculty searches. Please contact the Office of the Provost for further information.
- Agency temp positions* will be approved through this system but will not be posted for hiring.
- Union bid positions will not use PeopleAdmin.
*Agency temp employees are not paid by Smith. For those departments requesting that the budget office provide funding for an agency temp, the authorization must be completed through PeopleAdmin. If a department has pooled funding, they can contact an approved agency directly for a hire. Human resources continues to recommend that agency temps be used whenever possible.
Casual Employees
All casual employees will be hired using PeopleAdmin. Hiring managers must complete a position authorization in PeopleAdmin, specifically the Budget and Casual/Temporary section, and have it approved. Each casual employee will be hired using a new CW#### number rather than the XT9000 position number, and CW Index numbers will no longer be used.
Once the position has been approved and the individual has completed his or her application, that person can be hired and set up on Web Time Entry. Until the hiring process is completed, the new employee should not work and will not get paid.
Summer Returning Smith Students
All summer positions for returning Smith students will be advertised and hired through JobX.
To review the hiring procedures for JobX, go to www.smith.edu/finaid/fao/summerjobx.php.
Please note that employing a returning Smith student during the summer is a separate process from that of hiring a student during the academic year. Thus, all student employees must be hired into new summer positions, even those who are continuing work from the academic year. The two hiring terms will be defined by the position number being used. Academic-year students will be hired into SP#### numbers and all summer returning Smith students will be hired into new SU#### numbers; the CW Index number will no longer be used.
Please contact the budget office at firstname.lastname@example.com with the following three items to get your SU#### position number assigned.
- Short job title
- Approver's name (Banner allows for one approver)
- Funding source: fund/grant number or organization number
Employee Definitions
Casual Temporary: Paid by Smith. Individuals who work part time more than three months ongoing (less than 17.5 hours per week) or full time, up to five months.
Intermittent Casuals: Paid by Smith. Individuals who work less than 64 hours per month, generally pooled funds.
Summer/Seasonal Casual: Paid by Smith. Individuals who work more than 64 hours per month, up to three months.
Departments should continue to send newly hired or rehired casuals (those individuals who have never worked at Smith or have not been paid by Smith within the last 12 months) to human resources within the first three days of their first work date, to complete their employment paperwork and Form I-9.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
In one reusable piece of code I use
Let the code in the reusable file be :
After running both the JSP files you see the same output and think if there was any difference between the directive and the tag. But if you look at the generated
and this is what you will see for the used tag in the second JSP file :
So now you know that the include directive inserts the source of
If you think about it, there is an extra performance hit with every action tag (
There's a huge difference. As has been mentioned,
A dynamic include will make a request (using the request dispatcher) that will execute the indicated page and then include the output from the page in the output of the calling page, in place of the
The big difference here is that with a dynamic include, the included page will execute in it's own pageContext. And since it's a request, you can send parameters to the page the same way you can send parameters along with any other request. A static include, on the other hand, is just a piece of code that will execute inside the context of the calling page. If you statically include the same file more than once, the code in that file will exist in multiple locations on the calling page so something like
would generate a compiler error (since the same variable can't be declared more than once).
1) When to use include directive ?
To prevent duplication of same output logic across multiple jsp's of the web app ,include mechanism is used ie.,to promote the re-usability of presentation logic include directive is used
when the above instruction is received by the jsp engine,it retrieves the source code of the abc.jsp and copy's the same inline in the current jsp. After copying translation is performed for the current page
Simply saying it is static instruction to jsp engine ie., whole source code of "abc.jsp" is copied into the current page
2) When to use include action ?
include tag doesn't include the source code of the included page into the current page instead the output generated at run time by the included page is included into the current page response
include tag functionality is similar to that of include mechanism of request dispatcher of servlet programming
include tag is run-time instruction to jsp engine ie., rather copying whole code into current page a method call is made to "abc.jsp" from current page
One is a static import (<%=@ include...>"), the other is a dynamic one (jsp:include). It will affect for example the path you gonna have to specify for your included file. A little research on Google will tell you more.

Is there a cost effective way getting a data connection (sim card) for a mobile phone for 3 weeks while I am in Israel? So that I can read emails, and make use of google maps on my phone?
Since the current answers are rather outdated, here's a web site with recent-enough information.
Generally, the no-contract plans are affordable. For example, Golan Telecom doesn't require Israeli identification documents, and you can even pay with a PayPal account. Their activation fee is 49 ILS, and for unlimited calls and 1GB data you'd pay 37 ILS monthly (59 ILS monthly for 6GB).
If you're staying for more than a month, getting a no-contract plan is the obvious choice.
The only difficulty is that low-cost operator SIMs should be either pre-ordered online (to an Israeli address) or purchased at one of their points of sale. Unfortunately there are no such points of sale at the Ben Gurion Airport, but you can find them in major malls. Check carriers' web pages for points of sale, e.g.:
Pre paid cards data connection in Israel can be quite expensive (in my opinion at least). From what I've seen on Orange BigTalk's website (sadly available in Hebrew, Russian and Arabic languages only), data connection on pre paid SIM costs are: 1MB = 4 NIS.
You can get those cards in Israel post offices, kiosks, and Orange service points that exists in every mall.
Currently the price for a SIM card charged with 40 NIS, costs 50 NIS (Israel post office price, other providers may have different prices.)
There is another cellular provider called Cellcom, and their prepaid card is called TalkMan. They don't state the date connection prices on their website, but I believe both Orange and Cellcom have similar prices.
You should know that it is very easy to find a free WiFi connection. You can find one in almost every restaurant, coffee, mall and most likely the hotel you will be staying in.
Read emails over WiFi connection. And additionally buy small data connection pack for emergencies.
Hope that was helpful. Enjoy your trip!
I think that MichaelS's answer, though complete when written, is a little out of date.
As of today, you can get a sim card from at least the following three providers at Israeli post offices:
If you are in some places with an Israeli "Home Center" store, you can buy a sim from "Home Cellular". The sim costs 29 shekels, and isn't charged with anything- after charging, it's 0.39 shekels for a minute/sms, and 0.5 shekels for a MB of data. I don't think these can be bought at the Post Office, but I could be wrong.
Also, Google Maps navigation does work now in Israel.
If your phone is unlocked' then instead of getting a Sim card from one of the main providers stated above (cellcom or orange) it is easier and cheaper to rent a sim card (you can get also a phone as well) for the short term period you need it for. You can get packages for data usage and cheap calls overseas. you can check the prices at http://www.israelphones.com . It also makes things alot easier...
Good luck, and enjoy your trip !

6-3's Chai Tea. - 12-17-2010, 06:52 PM
In math class, we are working on fractions. My math teacher's sister in law makes really good chai tea. So, we got the recipe. We had to do some conversions because we needed more than 12 servings (thats were the math comes in). After we were done (we worked on it for a day and we drank it the next day, he gave us the recipe. It's really delicious, and it's great with marshmallows on top. ^^
I'm pretty sure this recipe is for 12 servings like the original. You wouldn't want 120 servings I don't think. O.o
1 cup powdered milk
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup dry coffee creamer
3/4 cup instant tea
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cardamom
Sift ingredients together. Blend in a blender to a fine powder. Mix 1/4 cup of mix to one cup of water.
In my class, we added half of one type of creamer (vanilla caramel) and half of another (vanilla). My teacher said he also puts a 1/2 of regular creamer and 1/2 of flavored creamer.
Hope you enjoy!
Joey Thunder is perrffff ♥

I'm a grad student I find it hard to concentrate on my work after exercising (cardio+weights) and I can only do after taking a nap. I would like to know if its healthy to have a nap after the work outs?

Exercise also causes CNS (Central Nervous System) fatigue
In a similar manner that your muscles/joints need to recover your CNS requires recovery as well.
Extended CNS fatigue (ie > week is a key sign of overtraining). If you feel 'fried' get more sleep or take a break for a bit.
Sleep, eating more calories, and reducing external stress should help.
Here's a link for some additional tips to adjust your workouts for additional relief. Basically, it comes down to two things. Either don't do everything to the max all the time and/or or schedule for ample recovery (ie sleep/relaxation).
Naps help the learning process, the brain sorts out the stuff you've learned. Napping and studying go hand in hand. Likewise, rest after exercise helps the learning process too.
All in all, nap if you feel you want to, it'll only have good affects on both your fitness and your studies.
Don't worry, you are no the only one who had this issue, so did I when I first started out my workout sessions, but now after 2 months of continuous workouts, my brain and body has fine tuned itself to accept the strain during the work outs. In short, you'll get used to it, and you will able to study without naps in the long run. Sleep when ever your body feels so, dont fight against your body because you will only be hurting yourself. Keep working out and stay fit!

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "2003 Summer Tour."
cities: really nice, slick opener. it was a treat to hear this one, but they did not take this one very far at all before dipping into...
run away jim: this got the crowd rolling again. the boys sounded sharp on this one. they took this one a little further out than cities, but not too far still. good sharp version. after they wrapped up jim, the lower pavillion started a very nice "fluff head" chant. the boys mingled amongst themselves, and from our close position, we heard trey say....
meat: i like this tune, but almost anything but fluff head would have been a bummer. this was a nice little version of meat though.
water in the sky: nice up pace version. pretty sharp.
stash: here's the first jam of the night. they really took this one deep before trey and page came storming back up. this is probably my favorite stash from the '03-'04 era.
the old home place: being an indiana guy, i really like this tune at the creek. mike sounded good.
vultures: i have liked this tune from the get go, and this is one song i thought they were playing better than ever. they sounded really good on this took
boaf: this worked well following vultures. they had a nice 7-10 min jam that was very well textured, and it really got the crowd jumping. after bringing it back into the birds theme they dip down and find...
mike's groove: here's the 1st set surprise we were waiting for. the sun had just started to dip, and phish came out ripped a nice first set mike's. trey was in full rock star mode, and page was playing very well behind him. they dipped hydrogen in the middle before storming into weekapaugh. mike sounded really good and they tacked on a cool little start/stop jam on the end before calling it a set.
set 2:
suzy greenberg: this got the kids back to their seats. page sounded particularly sharp on this above average suzy.
taste: this might be my favorite taste that i've seen. trey and page were particularly nimble before trey took this one to the grandest of peaks.
46 days> i was stoked to be seeing this one for the first time. gordon was holding down the bottom so well while trey was shredding over top. after taking this one up to a quick peak, page and trey lead the way on a more "rocking ambient jam." this played its way into...
tweezer> yeah, the first deer creek tweezer... so many shows here, yet no tweezer! this one was pretty solid. they built a nice groove and road it out for a good 8-10 minutes. as this one simmered out it found its way into...
2001> page was all over this one. fishman and gordon were also particularly strong on this good, intense 2001. also of note, a guy wearing a full astronaut suit made his way to the front row. he was going nuts.
limb by limb: this was a nice fiery limb by limb. trey was very strong on this one. limb did its things before it slammed into...
good times bad times: this set was flowing remarkably. page nailed the plant vocals and trey laid down a fairly unique solo for this tune. good set
loving cup: i seem to constantly catch this song in the encore slot, and i have grown kind of sick of it. on the other hand, it worked really nice here, on this night. trey had been throwing out hot rock licks all night, so hell, why not play some stones.
tweezer reprise: end it rowdy!
this show does not have any "best ever" versions of songs, but both sets have remarkably good flow with good solid playing. even if you are not a fan of '03-'04 era phish, you will like this one. in fact, if you hate that era, i would say, at the least, you should own the deer creek '03 run. i found it to be the exception to the rule.
1st set: stash, vultures, mike's>hydrogen>weekapaugh
2nd set: the whole damnd set!
I'll admit it, I'm a Creek Phreak. Since I made my first trip out to the middle of the corn and soy fields of central Indiana in 1998, Phish at Deer Creek has always been "must see" shows for this dedicated Head. The easy six-hour drive from my house, as well as the plentiful camping that surrounds the venue, makes this tour stop one of the most exciting stops on any tour. It provides the festival atmosphere without providing the festival. To top it off, the last three Phish stands, as well as Trey's show with Medeski sitting in during the summer of 2001, have provided this intrepid show-goer with too many musical memories to count. When the boys announced a three night stand this year, I knew it was on.
I arrived with two cohorts to the sprawling onsite camping that was spread out in an empty field behind the entrance, somewhere around 4:30 p.m. I like the family-run campgrounds that are sprinkled throughout the area, and have had great experiences at a few of them, but this time, with economics a factor and a lot of shows still ahead of me, onsite was the logical choice. We set up camp, and my friends quickly went off in search of tickets for that night's show, which turned out to be quite a simple task. Extra tickets were everywhere, and few people had any luck getting rid of theirs for more than $20. Each of my friends picked up all three tickets for a combined fifty dollars, quite a steal.
We headed in and I left them on the lawn to check out my pavilion seat, which was located on the far left side of the venue. Before I could find my seat, I ran into Chris from Wisconsin, who I had befriended at the 2000 Phil n' Phish stand at the Creek, when we camped next to each other, along with our respective girlfriends. Three years later, the girlfriends were gone, along with our long hair, but we were back in the same place we had hung out three years earlier. The great thing about Phish shows is that this sort of randomness happens all the time.
After some chit chat, the band came out, and we were on our way. I was stoked for my first show of the summer, and I was hoping for a doozy. The opening chords of "Cities" rang out and I knew we were in for it. Tardy Heads could be seen sprinting through the concourse area, filling any empty area that remained in the pavilion and on the lawn. I thought this was a great opening choice, finding that as I head towards the sixty show mark, I appreciate unique song selection as much as on point musicianship. The tour's only "Cities" went over well, and Trey then raised the energy a notch with "Runaway Jim", a short and to the point version complete with Trey messing up lyrics, though the crowd seemed to care very little. The halting chords of "Meat" rang out next, much to the excitement of some around me. I appreciated the busting out of a song not seen since pre-Hiatus, and Mr. Mike Gordon was loud and funky, but this song doesn't do much for me.
The frenetic tempo and slick country sound of "Water in the Sky" picked up the pace a touch, but the venue exploded in its first real peak moment of the evening as the opening lick to "Stash" rang out. Clocking in close to fifteen minutes, this version provided an interesting jam section, and the boys began to stretch their legs for the first time. The jam had murky undertones as Trey tore along, with Mike providing interesting runs and Page alternating between a wash of organ sounds and the hammering rhythm of the grand piano. This all built to a peak before cooling back down into the song's trademark lick.
"My Old Home Place" followed and was a good cool down song for band and audience alike. "Vultures" followed, rung in with Page's descending piano intro, and took off. "Vultures" was once overlooked, but as the band plays it more and more, it has blossomed into a fan favorite. "Birds of a Feather" brought a huge reaction from the crowd and took off. The jam was fast paced and chugged along, audience in tow, for six or seven minutes before slowing and fading into some haunting guitar distortion. Trey reprised some of the song's chords before deciding on the opening riff to "Mike's Song" instead.
The crowd barely reacted the first time, many in the house missing the lick altogether. By the time Fishman's drums and Kuroda's lights kicked in, the kids were rocking,. Many predicted that we were due for this tune somewhere in the Deer Creek run, but few thought it would come this early. This version featured full-on rock star wailings from Trey, something that would develop into the theme for the evening. After the song's crushing climax, the band noodled for a second, seemingly unsure of where to go, before dropping into "I am Hydrogen". This song, to me, is like the eye of the storm. One of Trey's most beautiful guitar melodies sandwiched between two of Phish's most explosive roof shaking numbers. It's perfect.
Some around me complained that they've been playing "Hydrogen" in every "Mike's" this tour. I won't though, thinking back to when "Simple" was the standard segue fare and "Hydrogen" was semi-retired. Fishman's snare drum then abruptly snapped open "Weekapaug" and the band took off, led by Mike, whose thundering bass was loud and clear all night. At one point Cactus stepped up and ripped a series of the most riveting and bone crushing bass licks that kickstarted the jam towards its energy laden climax, leaving mouths agape.
I vacated the pavilion following the set, and headed to the concourse in search of friends and an ice cold drink to cool me down after the blazing set I had just witnessed. Setbreak flew by, at a mere twenty five minutes it was quite a departure from the never-ending setbreaks of tours past. I hustled up to the lawn as the opening of "Suzy Greenberg" rang in the start of the second set. Trey was a step behind on the lyrics, something I'd notice throughout the run, evidence of the long Hiatus and the tough task it must be to re-learn Tom Marshall's twisted catalogue of wordplay after two years off.
"Taste" was next, and I was super thrilled to hear it. I had often said during the Hiatus that one of the things I missed the most about Phish was Page's piano solo in "Taste". This one was a treat, but Trey quickly took over the jam and steered it like a madman hell bent on rock supremacy. After a brief pause, Trey led the band into "46 Days", the first Round Room song to appear that night. This song is a good one, but it just doesn't feel finished to me. With another verse or two, an a little more structure this could be a balls-out rocker. Instead, it is just used as a jumping off point, as there's nothing easier than jamming a song with no end to return to. When the jam lost its buoyancy and begin to drift along aimlessly, losing the attention of some, the lack of energy was immediately rectified by the intense trademark blare of the opening guitar line of "Tweezer". The band turned the intensity up a notch and the audience responded in kind as the resonance of Fishman's building drums made many wail in joyous response. The jam highlighted the funk chops of Mike and Page as the groove rode on the plunking rhythm of Gordon's bass, and was driven by Page's futuristic synthesizer licks. If anyone within earshot wasn't convinced we were being taken on a journey to outer space, they knew for sure when Fish kicked in the opening beat of "2001".
This one always delights, and the spacey dance beat was the perfect thing to grab the audience after the jam-a-thon that was the two preceding tunes. Once "2001" had run its course and its climax degenerated into feedback, the opening chords of "Limb By Limb" rang out, building to its furious apex riding on the interplay between guitar and piano, before giving way to Fishman's infectious drumbeat. Trey then turned up the distortion and crunched out the opening chords to "Good Times/Bad Times". This version featured an extended solo that lit out with lightening quick speed and never lost a beat. With this closer, Phish proved the audience that it had the arena rock credentials to match those of the song's original authors. The encore twosome of "Loving Cup" and "Tweezer Reprise" restated just that as the band used their one last shot to rock the audience, as opposed to sending them out on a slow note. As the audience filtered out into the temperate Indiana night, to party in the lot or crash in their tents, everyone agreed. Yes, it was a beautiful buzz. And we were only getting started.
SET I: The first set is a bit of a hodge-podge, but it is a well-played hodge-podge. Everything is really solid all set.
1) You can never complain about a "Cities" opener. This one got everyone off on the right foot even if it did not sore to any insane heights a la 08/06/2011 Greek Theatre.
2) "Runaway Jim" doesn't run to far and has a pleasant Trey singing flub. One of those "haha we are having fun" flubs not one of those "oh my God this Phish cover band is awful" flubs a la the 2003/01/02 "Simple."
3) "Meat" is one of my all time favorites. They can play it every night. A good weirdo Phish tune. My friend Daniel loved that song also. That counts for something. We miss you buddy!
4) A little bit of an odd transition from "Meat" to "Water in the Sky." "Water" is a little sloppy if you want to really nit-pick the poor band to death. That song always makes me think of Big Cypress; which is, of course, a natural thing, because they opened it down there as you all recall.
5) Onto a fifteen minute "Stash" that kicks ass. I am not a big "Stash" guy normally, but this version would make a believer of anyone.
6) Another odd transition to "My Old Home Place." I like that song. Bluegrass Phish always has room in my book.
7) I love "Vultures." What the hell is up with that song? It always comes out of left field at me like "I Saw it Again" has a tendency to do.
8) I am not a big fan of "BOAF," but this is once a gain a very solid version. There were a hell of a lot of people outside the show this weekend. In 99 there was a hell of a lot of "BOAF" and I think I still hadn't forgotten it.
8) The "Mikes-H2-Weekapaug" is perfectly placed at the end of the set. I love first set "Mike's Groove." This is not an "all time great" or anything, but it is a great set closer. People were freakin' out. Plus, anytime you get "Hydrogen" you should be happy.
SET II: The second set of this show is spectacular in any time period. Very well played and considerate versions of these tunes. Really very psychedelic for a set with "46 Days", "Tweezer", "2001", "GTBT", and "Loving Cup" which are all big rock and roller type songs.
1) "Suzy" is a great opener. Much better than a "Suzy" closer. Nothing startling here, but Page funks it out.
2) "Taste" is one of the all-time least appreciated Phish tunes. This one (like many) does get out there into the "Why am I thinking about people I haven't seen in awhile" chaos, but I love it.
3) The "46 Days" "Tweezer" "2001" section of this show is really amazing. "46 Days" is raging around 8 minutes in. By minute 11 everything is very low tempo and psychedelic. Fishman is amazing through some of the down-tempo parts.
4) A nice segue into "Tweezer", which like "46 Days" gets very slow and understated. Not "The band wants to get back to the tour-bus" understated, but precise and directed understated.
5) More of the same in "2001".
6) "Limb by Limb" is one of those chameleon songs. I either love it or hate it. It makes a so-so show more so-so, but when it comes out like it did here or 12/29/1998 at MSG it can be spectacular.
7) "GTBT" has some initial low level slop but then Trey really ratchets it up. Amazing high energy "Trey is a rock and roll god" moments.
8) "Loving Cup" encore is a bit of a throwaway. Don't get me wrong, I like "Loving Cup", but right after "GTBT" I am pretty big rock & roll covered out. Still though, Trey slays it and only a moron would complain.
9) The "Tweeprize" is half as long as the "Tweezer" and continues in the "Trey destroys my brain" fashion.
A solid A minus show. Well worth the listen. A great start to what turned into a pretty great weekend. Shout out to Green Acres!

I just browsed through a 'polled' posting, regarding stitching programs, and saw how PTgui left all the others in the dust. So I downloaded the trial, and gave it a shot. I also download the eight JPEG's of the building shot, which was exampled in their tutorial. I put the program through its paces, and waited for the stitched results to meet my vision. But not so. After waiting for a pretty good while, I decided to push this one button, which called up one of my external programs (CaptureNX2). It was only then - through CaptureNX2 - that I was able to see how PTgui had handled those 8 shots. Was that program supposed to do that? or did I do something wrong?
The only stitching capabilities that I have are within two programs that I own: (1) MGI PhotoSuite4, and (2) the PhotoMerge Panorama feature in Photoshop Elements 7. I have just begun looking into them, and it seems that the both of them are there for no more than basic, single-row stitching. I am hoping to get into something a bit more capable than that.

And the Survey Says: What Consumers Think About Our Instructions (And It's Not Good!)
Sharon Burton
In the world of product development and marketing, we have a myth that "no one reads the product instructions." Inherent to this assumption is that product instructions are not important and can be ignored, as they are of no value.
This webinar examines the results of a survey done in mid-2012 that contains some surprising results and actionable steps your company can make to differentiate your products and your brand from your competitors.
For example, 90% of respondents use the product instructions to install/set up products or when something goes wrong. Customers want clear instructions and they are angry and upset they don't get them.
If you are involved in product development, marketing, or technical communication in any way, you need to attend this webinar.
