The patrol reported a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis driven by a 17-year-old male was traveling east on the road when it went left of center, striking Flaherty's 2001 Dodge Neon head-on. A third vehicle, driven by Gary Kish, 59, of Dillonvale, which was traveling west on state Route 150 behind the Flaherty vehicle, was struck as a result of the initial impact between the other two vehicles, the patrol reported.
Flaherty was taken to East Ohio Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the patrol reported.
A female juvenile in the Grand Marquis was transported to Ohio Valley Medical Center with unspecified injuries, a trooper said.
The patrol is not releasing the name of the 17-year-old male driver at this time.

Small Tricky Opening Magic Wooden Box with Extra Secure Secret Drawer for $1.99
Promo- MLCK266376021950N -only 600
Cool little stash box
Cheap gift for a kid can put some cash in it and say here happy B-day, once they figure out how to open surprise moneys.
20 Comments add a comment
Thanks man, I needed a present for my friend's birthday coming up. Plus twenty surprise moneys and this is an awesome present, lol.
I don't recommend this. I bought one from Thinkgeek and was pretty disappointed in the quality. Build quality wasn't that great overall, but there also wasn't much to the trick. Just a corner that you pinch... and it's readily obvious.
of course the quality is going to be poor...they cost $2. can you really expect much more for that price
ad says 1.99 each but the web site wants 4.14 each. I smell a rip-off
@mchapell: Read the listing!
Click "add to cart," enter promo code MLCK266376021950N and click apply. Discount shows up, price goes down to $1.99
I have the one without the SECRET drawer--hours of fun at the office...(wasted?) but worth EVERY PENNY!!!
love these things
Ok... you guys love these things so I'm in for 3...
It is a promo to get more people on there E-mailing list...
I purchased some extremely elaborate trick boxes when I was in Qatar. Some of them were as much as $180 USD and the size of a "tough box". Really cool
Real happy you all like the deal i picked one up for my 13(soon to be) sis for here birthday going to toss a Benjamin in it and make her Bday great... ill soon put some more up as i find them
And those people that complain about quality... It cost under $2 shipped get off your high horse if u want a good trick box i have some ebay links i can send u but will cost u about 40+ per box
Thanks for posting this...I've been waiting for these to go on sale again...
I think these ones are smaller than the normal magic boxes...last time I was looking at them, this one was called the "Small" MB and the normal size one was the "Large" magicbox...
Still...for 2buhcks, I'm in.
Plus, when you get stuff shipped from China, you have NO idea when it's going to show up. Might be 3 weeks, might be 3 months. But by the time you get it, I can almost guarantee you'll have forgotten you ordered it heh...so it's always a surprise
thanks for the code, i ordered 14 for next christmas, slip in a few bucks, no fuss, maybe no wrapping!!!
I guess the woot community is a little more wholesome than I thought.
Surprised everyone has mentioned this only for hiding money. However, since I'm not in that crowd, maybe this is way too small to hold anything not wholesome. :)
Perfect for your "stash". Unless of course you already have the "fake" Coke can, or can of shaving cream.
@hobbitss: Untrue! I've bought stuff from meritline.com before, and they're very legit, you'll get no spamming from them. Shipping was a bit slow, but otherwise, they're a pretty good merchant, and what you pay for is what you get.
In for two! The gift card holders in some stores are more than $5 and this at least will provide some challenge to get the cash. Yes it is from Meritline, it may take awhile getting here from China, but you can't get lead poisoning from wood right?
Oh crap....
@invisibleogre: It said on the bottom of the page after entering the discount code that you were agreeing to receive e-mail notices in exchange for the promo pricing...
I said nothing about Spamming...
@renegadetim: Mo, it will hold quite a big, actually. My friend had one back in High school, it was about half the size of my fist, iirc.
@thewootenator: haha i use to make those cans back in high school and sell them

Cinematic soldiers cause stir in Franklin
A group of 12 men who appeared to be armed and donned swastika-adorned military gear in Franklin on Sunday turned out to be less threatening than originally thought.

Officers responded to the area and found the subjects were filming a movie and the weapons were all fake.
The subjects were advised next time they film to post a sign so it does not alarm others who are on the bridge.» Read Full Article

Franklin aquaponic proposal seeks zoning OK
A proposal to raise fish and grow herbs and vegetables in Franklin could obtain initial zoning approval this week.
Scott Biller has proposed the aquaponic operaton for 4.8 acres south of the 3500 block of W. Elm Road. The city Plan Commission, at its Thursday night meeting, is to consider recommending a special use permit for the project.
An aquaponic operation is a recirculating system that uses fish waste to help fertilize produce, with the produce helping to filter the water used to raise the fish. It is designed to use small plots of land and create a minimal amount of waste.
Biller, an architect, plans to build four separate 10,000-square-foot greenhouses and fish tanks, where he would raise tilapia and grow tomatoes, lettuce and other vegetables, as well as herbs. Biller told me he hopes to begin construction in June on the first building.
Biller is vice president of Integrated Aquaponics Inc., which will focus mainly on raising produce. The development would be built on a small portion of 80 acres of farm land that have long been owned by Biller's family.» Read Full Article

Police seek suspect in MATC assault linked to Syrian politics
Police are seeking a man who assaulted a woman after the two disagreed about the president of Syria during a classroom discussion at Milwaukee Area Technical College.
According to the police log, the 24-year-old victim stated that back in February a male student she didn't know came up to her in the hallway outside a classroom and asked her if she was for or against the Syrian government. The victim stated she did not answer the man and kept on walking.
On April 2 the woman stated she noticed the suspect in the hallway and tried to go out another exit to the parking lot. As she was walking the suspect grabbed her arm, and said to her in Arabic, "People like you should die. You don't know what good the president did for Syria."
The suspect is described as a white male in his mid-20s, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds, with black hair in a ponytail, a full black beard and diagonal lines shaved through both eyebrows. He was last seen wearing a black sleeveless shirt and blue jeans. The suspect also has a tattoo of the Syrian flag on his right arm and a tattoo of the face of the Syrian president on his left arm.
MATC is reviewing video surveillance and police are investigating.

Hales Corners man arrested for driving drunk in wrong direction
A 30-year-old Hales Corners man was arrested early Tuesday morning after officials say he drove drunk in the wrong direction on I-94.
A Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy on patrol saw Adam Bruno, 30, headed westbound in the eastbound lanes of I-94 at 60th St. at 1:55 a.m. Tuesday, a spokesman for the sheriff's department said in a news release. After a tow-truck driver flashed his yellow lights, Bruno pulled into a construction area and several squads responded to the scene.
Bruno was taken to the patrol substation where he blew a .18 on the Intoximeter, more than twice the legal limit. Deputies also recovered a marijuana pipe on the floor of his vehicle.
Bruno was ticketed for first-offense drunken driving and arrested for a class C misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia, and a class G felony charge of second-degree reckless endangering safety. He faces a six- to nine-month revocation of his license on the drunken-driving charge, 30 days in jail on the possession of drug paraphernalia charge, and up to 10 years in prison on the felony charge.
It's the second wrong-way drunken driver arrested by deputies in less than a week. On Monday, Rachel Kuebbing was charged with a felony for driving the wrong-way on the freeway while drunk on March 29. She also faces up to 10 years in prison.
Firm offers to buy part of ex-Iceport site in Cudahy
An Appleton development firm wants to buy just under 17 acres of the former Iceport site, in Cudahy.
Economic Development Associates' offer has been accepted, in principal, by the city's Community Development Authority, said Brian Biernat, Cudahy's economic development director. A proposed sale price hasn't been disclosed yet, and is still subject to negotiation, he said.
Biernat declined to say what the firm has planned for the site. An executive at Economic Development Associaites, an affiliate of Appleton-based Consolidated Construction Co., didn't return my phone calls.
However, Biernat told me in February that two separate projects, using around 16 to 18 acres, were being considered for the site. Both would involve building distribution centers.
Economic Development Associates is to present a conceptual plan to the authority at its April 10 meeting.» Read Full Article

Laboratory testing and brain scans may not be needed, but sometimes can help pinpoint the diagnosis. Tests may include:
Treatment depends on the cause of the psychosis. Care in a hospital is often needed to ensure the patient's safety.
Antipsychotic drugs, which reduce hallucinations and delusions and improve thinking and behavior, are helpful.
How well a person does depends on the cause of the psychosis. If the cause can be corrected, the outlook is often good. In this case, treatment with antipsychotic medication may be brief.
Some chronic conditions, such as schizophrenia, may need life-long treatment with antipsychotic medications to control symptoms.
Psychosis can prevent people from functioning normally and caring for themselves. Left untreated, people can sometimes harm themselves or others.
Call your health care provider or mental health professional if you or a member of your family is losing contact with reality. If there is any concern about safety, take the person to the emergency room to be seen by a doctor.
Prevention depends on the cause. For example, avoiding alcohol abuse prevents alcohol-induced psychosis.

12 Months Xbox Live Gold Membership Subscription for $40.99 + free shipping
12 Months Xbox Live Gold Membership Subscription
I was a little uneasy about purchasing from this unknown site but everything worked fine. Lowest price I could find right now for a year subscription
11 Comments add a comment
Tried it and it said it was out of stock.
Meh, I always get mine around Christmas. If you watch carefully, you can usually find them for $30 somewheres.
@alihoopz43: yeah mine expires 11.1.12 so christmas will be too late. looking for others though.
I was able to buy this right now. worked like a charm.
Added to cart, paid with paypal (after a phone call verification to prove I was in the US...weird), and got an email with the code in less than a minute. Plugged that greasy pig into xbox.com and I was golden. Saved around 20 of my hard-earned rupees on that bad boy. Nice find.
Just picked this up, worked exactly as the other commenters said. Got the call, put in the pin, checked out through PayPal, and they emailed the code. Total time: < 2 minutes
Had to toss in a non google voice number to verify, but super easy for saving 20$. Soon as I paid with paypal I had the code emailed to me within 10 seconds, put it in xbox live and I've got another 12 months of gold. Sweet stuff. I'll +1 it.
Just purchased it today, but the price has increased by $.50. Still a great deal, and super fast!
maybe they charge less so they can get your phone number and sell it for telemarketing... decent price.
Just tried it and it worked. Also i entered the coupon code XBL12 and i got a $1.50 off. grand total was $39.99
Still works, is 38.99 now :)

A couple of days ago I brewed some Big Ben Pale Ale from Midwest Supplies. After the boil I poured the wort in to the fermenter atop some cold water already in the fermenter. I checked the temp right before I pitched the yeast (muntons dry ale). At that point I was at the temp called for on the yeast label(30-40c). I stored the fermenter without cooling it down to below 78f, which it finally reached the following day. The airlock was churning at that point and stopped the next day. Should I expect problems? Is there anything I should do at this point other than wait. On a side note I failed to get a SG reading as well. Thanks for any input you may have.
I think you may have misunderstood the directions on the yeast packet. 30-40C (86-104F) is much too warm for pitching the yeast into the wort.
Pitching temperature is usually under 75F/23C. It's recommended to rehydrate the yeast in a little water at that high temperature, but not pitch into wort at that temperature.
You'll still get beer at the end of it, but you may pick up some additional flavors. Typical symptoms of a high pitch are hot alcohol flavors, and elevated esters (fruitiness.)
As long as you pitched the yeast under 75F you'll be OK. leave it along for 7-10 days. if you pitched over 75F there is a good chance you'll get some funky flavors and low ABV because the wort was too hot for the yeast. If it was even hotter the yeast would just be killed from the heat, but that doesn't sound like what happened.
typical fermentation: no activity for 24 hours very active for the next 2-3 days (air lock is bubbling) still active, but no bubbles in airlock
With this style of beer you can either bottle it after fermentation, or transfer to secondary to help clarify the beer. No more than a week.
keep it in the bottle for ~5 days to carbonate and then enjoy. <5 days and the carbonation isn't there. 5 days is very young, but drinkable. 2 weeks it's mature enough to really enjoy.

Are there different classifications or just the one? How does our galaxy group compare with others?
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, forms part of a galaxy group called The Local Group. What are the parameters that dictate what a galaxy group is?
A galaxy group is a set of galaxies that are close together and gravitationally bound, i.e. barring outside influences they will stay together indefinitely. That means a galaxy that is in the space occupied by the group but "passing through" it at a high velocity would not be considered part of the group.
The upper limit for calling it a group is roughly 50, bigger accumulations of galaxies are called clusters (which may consist of many groups). The borders between adjacent groups may be uncertain.
These aren't mathematical definitions and actual usage is often based on tradition more than on measurements. It's just like geography: you could debate endlessly whether a given piece of high ground should be called a hill or a mountain, and whether something is a separate mountain or a subpeak, but sensible people recognize it as a waste of time, make up a clear but arbitrary numeric distinction without strongly insisting on its usage.

This challenge has now been going for a week and we have had 10 seasons completed between us- Is this good? what do you guys think?
Do or die time .... 7 games left, 17 points from safety. Entire team has turn goal shy this season, despite having scored plenty of goals in the previous 2 seasons.
Very impressed by my latest youth intake though, 3 of them have gone straight into the first team squad!
Unlucky Avramski. Keep fighting!
Sacked after losing 2-1 to Sutton Utd
Oh well. I'll roll back to the save I have on June 13th 2013 so I can pick a fresh team. I was highly impressed after getting my 3rd (and final) youth intake. It was that good I didn't know who to give the YP tag to, as there was 5 players who my coach said were good enough to be good league 2 players.
Unlucky Avramski. You will do better next time with the knowledge you have gained
I have changed the table in the second post to show the number of clubs people have managed as i realise it will be hard for players to keep their jobs.
Finding things hard now over at Chester, but my star defender has just come back from injury after 5 weeks out. The bad form started when he got injured! He comes back and we beat Forest Green 1 - 0
just added a new section on the third post. I hope it will allow players to be immortalised in the history of this challenge
It will also make people check every player in their intake.
Serious attempt at the youth only challenge .... take 2!
On June 24th, I had a goodly selection of clubs to choose from. Carshalton and Lewes in the BSS and Bury Town, Chester, Lowestoft and Northwich in the BSN. I decided to take charge of Northwich, as they had the biggest squad, plus their junior coaching was considered basic, which was better than the others.
Anyway ....

Oh, and for those interested, my final youth intake at Carshalton.
Hendon 2012/13 - Blue Square South
End of Season Update
League Table : Delighted with the teams performance, tho there was a dip in form with 15 games to go picking up only 3 wins. YP01 and YP02 were 1st and 2nd in the scoring charts come christmas but the drop in form saw them only gather 1 more goal each. YP01 still finished 2nd in the charts while YP02 got 5th.
Playoffs: a 6-1 agg loss in the semis to dorchester made sure we were not promted.
Fa Cup : out in the 2 qually round
Fa Trophy : out in the 2nd rnd.
Squad : Most of the squad now consists of my own youth players which im delighted at. there isnt too much depth this season but with an ok youth intake come halfway through the season some off the youth might be ready for the step up.
Youth Intake : Happy with the intake and for a 3rd time out of 4 a ST get the prestigious YP Tag
Samuel Wood YP04: rated highly by all staff, he definatly has potential but the current ability might see him making a few sub appearences in the season about to start
Key Player
Russel Andrews YP01 : really impressive since he joined us on the first intake. his finishing has gone from 2-7 in this period and this is a major contribution to the amount off goals scored. 20 goals in 42 in the league.
Finances: two cups set up in the pre season saw us rake in the cash and we went from -380k to -80k and we lost a further 20k throughout the season. cups will be rescheduled in the next pre season to boost our money
And of course TRANSFERS
Next season
looking forward to this seaon, maybe the team can build on last season, but i would be happy with just a mid table finish. and luckily thats all the board want. 3 more older players will be leaving in pre season leaving only 5 players in the squad and the rest will be all youth. with the friendly cups should see us make huge profit and there fore i will be asking the board for more junior coaching. only 1 improvement in all 4 seasons

Greyman- Isnt this your 4th season update? also your league table screenshot seems to be showing salthill devons 2016 transfers
still i managed to gather you made the playoffs! and lost . Hopefully you can build on this season and push for promotion again! a decent youth intake, however I'm jealous of you as i need a striker to come through and i havent had a decent one yet!
Last edited by ri916; 20-03-2012 at 18:43.
Just had the BEST youth intake so far. My junior coaching is now at Good and this really helped. I will post an update in a bit.
I don't understand, I can't seem to get Junior Coaching or Youth Recruitment upgraded... Cant even upgrade my youth facilities or training facilities, or even fix my water logged pitch for that matter!
Looking at the youth players people are getting through, mine look ridiculous lol...
FC United of Manchester- Season 2 2013-2014
League Table- Another solid season from FC United which saw us improve by 7points on last season but still fail to score more than a goal a game.
Transfers- No problems there.
Squad- Once again Wolfenden is top scorer but he isnt really doing enough to push us up the table
Youth squad- I forgot to take a screen of the youth intake so I have decided to post my youth squad instead. All of my Players with YP tags are in the first team but I'll go through them now. Kristian Colbourne is our best prospect but unfortunately is in a position we already have a 5 star player for. Still, he has better potential so should take the number 1 shirt in coming years. Now, the two centre backs that came through, who may forge a great partnership in coming years. Jordan Ling and Louis Jordan should improve well and I hope to give them game time next year.
YP watch
In this section i will do a screenshot of all players in my squad that have a YP tag and do an analysis of them.
Joe White YP01- has improved in tackling immensely. Got some first team action and has been tutored, which has improved his determination a bit.
David Roberts YP02- Wasnt initally a YP, but i felt he deserved it as much as White so i gave them both one. Has made massive strides, and i hope he will become our ball winning midfielder in the future.
Next season
To develop the YP's! I will give them as much game time as possible ( so we still are comfortable in mid table). Also to improve the finances with friendlies and improve junior coaching and youth facilities.
I love the Northwich board already. Only 3 weeks into the job, and they have agreed to a increase in the number of coaches allowed (to 4) and an increase in my junior coaching (to adequate). Happy days are here already!
PS. Here's hoping for a good cup run so I can get the junior coaching increased again before March 13th
EDIT :: Maybe things won't be quite so easy after all. A lot of players refused to renew their contracts and walked out of the club. I'm now down to a squad of 17 players! March 13th can't come around quick enough now!

Quick Update From Me... For the full update, check out my Career Update Thread
We've had some very mixed moments since Decemeber, with a very bad month that month, then an almost perfect month in January, back to a bad month in February!
We've been knocked out of the FA Cup by League 1 side Swindon, who we pushed to the limit with a draw at home, but they were too much in the replay...
We've also been knocked out of the FA Trophy by Macclesfield, but that was to be expected as they are top of the league and unstoppable right now!
Youth Intake
Graeme Fletcher - Got High hopes for this guy he isnt in the 1st at the moment but hes on the bench and i am sure it will only be a matter of time before he is there
Les Constantine Looking like he will be pushing my DM next season for a spot in the starting 11
Couple of questions about this challenge (which I should have thought about and asked before now).
Triallists. Is it ok to sign players on a trial basis, as long as you don't sign them permanently afterwards?
Is it ok to sign the virtual greyed out players to fill out your squad?
no and no. there just loop holes and i will now put it in the rules
school :/ have to get up early every weekday for it.
I was up at 7 for a 5 mile run
Should have my youth intake this afternoon! Can't wait
I've never ran that late at night, I used to go to the gym quite late. Might be worth a go.
I also run every other day, training for the Humber half marathon.
Back to the game though - we're sitting one place above the relegation zone but are really struggling to put any wins together with only 3 in 16 games. It's going to be close.
Carshalton Athletic
Finances - looking ok friendly's will sort this out and also looking for a parent club to pay me money
Transfers - Lost my best goalie i had no choice in the matter chairman went over my head
League Table - Finished 9th next season i want a good cup run and get promoted (ill get the table up later i somehow forgot it hmm)
Future Looks Great
Not the biggest of post i know but its all i can do at the moment going to work soon so i thought id better get something up :d
That's a very promising performance by your under 19's toonbalmy87.
Certainly better than what I managed at Carshalton!
Toon- Good season there. Is this your third season as it says your in 2015? but i dont remember 3 updates?
I was going to post an update of it but I didn't really play I holidayed it as I expected them to stay up and they made 275k in the financial year
I'm interested in trying out this challenge, even though it'll be a slow start for me due to my schedule at the moment. Here's the intro screenshots though to get things started
Profile 1
Profile 2
Club Info
As you can see, the team that I'm starting off with is Bury Town, who's going through a board takeover at the moment, so should be interesting
Got a nice geography lesson too, since I kinda assumed when I picked the team that it would be near the Manchester area, but Bury St. Edmunds is northeast of London instead so I was way off

welcome to the challenge slich! good to see someone go for bury town and I too was under the impression they would be near manchester!
2013/2014 Youth Intake!
Although I was hoping for more than one "definate" top talent, i'm over the moon! I've got my first San Marino player Not only that, he's the best of the bunch! I have high hopes that I could train him up well and he will play for San Marino in no time!
The Youth Intake & Manuele De Petrillo YP02
Chester Youth Candidates
Manuele De Petrillo YP02 Overview
Manuele De Petrillo YP02 Report
Welcome to the challenge Slich, hope you can do a good job at Bury Town
Season 2014/15 - Carshalton Athletic
League: It was a decent season. It was an improvement over last season with us finishing in 11th. At one point we were pushing for a play-off place but an injury to Anthony Freeman YP02, the man we rely on, meant there was a drop in form and an average mid-tabled finish.
Squad: Proof that we heavily relied on Anthony Freeman YP02 and Ross Hale YP03 throughout the season but the recent Youth Intake should help that.
Youth Intake: This was great news and mainly down to Junior Coaching being at such a high level. Calvin Coddingtown (what a name!) and Josh Brazier both got themselves YP tags but Brendan Hayter and Anton Little were both called up the senior squad.
Finances: It is looking good and healthy. The money spinning friendlies really helped and I managed to improve the Junior Coaching to good.
This is another piece of evidence as to how good Anthony Freeman is, it was only his 3rd season.
Also got approached for the first time. Safe to say I rejected it..
Oh and Transfers.
Well done TWFL and it's a shame he got injured, or you probably could have been in with a chance. I think next season could be your season! Fingers crossed
Training Schedules Preview
I've got 3 schedules to display and I would like your opinions on them if possible. This is just basically my take on how to create a schedule for that specific role.
Note: I always use individual training to focus on a specific stat that is too low or I want to get high. Example... If a Poacher has 5 finishing, it obviously needs to be focused on.
Poacher Training Schedule
The Poacher schedule, after taking a second look, i'm not too sure if i've given enough Strength Training, so your opinions on that are needed. I feel a poacher needs to be able to accelerate fast and have pace to get to the ball, so i've put Aerobic up high. Also a poacher needs to be good at anticipating and decision making, so i've put tactic training up high. He's a poacher, so he doesn't need to worry as much about his technique and dribbling, but he still needs some training to improve his first touch. I've often seen strikers go in for a tackle and turn it into a goal, so I believe all strikers need some defence training, with extra for poachers. The attacking slot is up just passed halfway, as with my team, I feel all players need to know how to pass, cross and create. Shooting is self explanatory, he needs this most because he's a poacher and need to know how to finish.
Target Man Training Schedule
A Target Man needs to focus more on his Strength training than Aerobic training, because he needs strength over pace, basically for going up for headers and holding up play. He will need to be a good decision maker and be able to anticipate, but equally needs to be able to dribble well, have a good first touch etc. Once again, he has a slight bit of defensive training, whilst having decent training for passing and creativity etc. Shooting is once again the main training focus as he's a striker.
Complete Forward Training Schedule
A complete forward needs the ability to do almost anything, he needs to be equally strong, whilst have good acceleration and pace, along with decision making, dribbling, creativity etc. The main focus being his shooting abilities. If you think i've got this one wrong, please give me your advice
TWFL- Good season there. Your side is definately improving and I think a playoff push is on for season 4. Good youth intake with some excellent players coming through.
That's some excellent potential there for your youth TWFL, looks like the future is bright.
Even with all the great prospects I cannot seem to string any results together. Pre-season was fine but as soon as the season starts we suddenly can't score/defend/pass. I'm thinking of returning to a simple 4-4-2 to see if we can at least play like that..
With my team, often our only chances are long shots, so its good to work on them, whilst using focus training on much needed areas such as quickness and stamina, maybe passing etc... I do agree that once I reach a higher level and the players are capable, that 0 shooting training would be the way forward. Ill have the end of season report up tonight.
Decided to try this challenge, some kind of game that will last me ages
Went on Holiday for a year, and up came Lowestoft Town, here is Me, here is The Squad, and finally, these Transfers of when I arrived
Last edited by Drew the Cookie Eater; 22-03-2012 at 18:10.
Halifax aren't a newly promoted side.
Ah damn it, was looking at the wrong thing, my bad.
Changed it now, Lowestoft here I come, plus the side are quite local to me too.
Looking through the squad it doesn't look too bad, includes a few ex Ipswich youngsters, so we should do quite well.
Drew- Welcome to the challenge! I'll add you on to the second post now
nom nom nom - welcome drew the cookie eater to hell
finished season 3. Will be up tomorrow
I've stalled a bit after a very busy week! Sorry about my lack of progress. I'm in December season 2 and sitting one place above the relegations zone, 4 points clear
I've stalled too. Got back to playing a bit today and have a couple of reserve posts. Not doing monthly updates in my thread now. It'll be season updates now. Starting to get bored. Got my youth intake. No one great, but I have decent/good looking defenders and a decent striker iirc. I'll do a post about it in a minute.
Hendon 2016/17 - Blue Square South
End of Season Update
League Table : Really struggled this season, i think we are the draw specialists this round tho. at one point all 4 of our strikers were out for 4 weeks+ there was a boken ankle,leg,arm all in the one match, ended that game with 8 on the pitch lol
Fa Cup : fantstic run saw us go to the 3rd round to be destroyed by cardiff
Fa Trophy : out at the first hurdle
Squad : plagued by injury all season we suffered badly.
Youth Intake : a good intake sees another striker get the yp tag, (i dont want anymore st's fm please)
Dean Stannard YP05 : good stats and straight into the first team this guy should score goals for sure.
Key Player
Anthoney Chapman : a player from the youth setup that has shone this season in the DM role. handy that he can play Dc and MC aswell just as good. and of course he was injury free thank god
Finances: cups scheduled to reach the black and then a fantastic cup run sees a health budjet.
And of course TRANSFERS
Facilities : thought id show this, this season as the junior coaching has increased. yay
Next season
more cups in pre season, the only viable way to make money, improve on the league and hopefully more junior coaching
An unfortunate season their Greyham, but i'm sure you will bounce back, just need to stay free of injuries
I've finally completed my 2nd season guys, but it's been slow progress over the past 2 days with commitments etc... I'm off work Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, so expect plenty from me on those days, but not so much beforehand.
Will have the end of season update sorted tomorrow!
Not doing too bad at the moment. Changed my tactics and brought in 7 youth players from my intake into my first team. We're unbeaten in 8 iirc. Three of those with the youngsters. 3 have started all 3. Just outside the play-offs with about 4 games to go. We've lost a hell of a lot of money. We're down to £18k at the moment.
Greyham- Unlucky not to push up the table, your lack of defenders in the youth intake is starting to show, with you conceding over 60 goals this season. I can feel the playoff form coming so just stick at it and you'll get there mate .
Joe and Forest- sorry to hear your progress has slowed. Hopefully you guys can get some time to play and get into the saves.
Last edited by ri916; 23-03-2012 at 06:22.
Decent start to the season with Lowestoft, 3 wins out of 4, averaging 2 goals a game.
Just need to build on the start and try and finish in the top 10; judging by last season, we will need at least 42 points to stay up, shouldn't be too hard.
Update on my game its all getting lil bit squeaky bum time i am currently 2nd and there 3 points between me and 1st with 3 games to go
Drew, don't say that. Wait for the incosistent form which usually hits around November . Just a little update from myself. 2 games to go and we've finally jumped ahead of FC United. They were matching our results until the last game. So yeah 2 games left and as long as we win both of them we'll claim a play-off spot.
We've done it . Play-offs here we come. One game to go. I don't know whether I want to win it though as I want to play Hinckley(2nd) and not Guiseley or Boston .
Well done Forest Best of luck in the play-offs!
10 games to go, should be safe.
New Youth Intake
No 5* PA players, but a new goalie, and a new left back, so that should save me some wages.
Are you guys going on attributes or potential ability? I've gone on attributes and I have 7 possibly 8 in my first team.
Hopefully I'll get a son or two eventually.
A bit of both really, my four youngsters have better PA, and better attributes than the more senior players in my side.
Bung them into the first team ASAP, and get rid of the over-paid first teamers, or use them as back-up if they are on low wages.
Monthly Updates
March Results
After a difficult month in February, losing many matches, we finally put a bit of form together! It wasn't the best of months, but we only lost once and I will take anything at this stage! Just to justify the results a bit more, 5 out of 6 of those games were against teams in the top 10!
April Results
April was very much like March, with some very difficult matches. It seems that we just couldn't win this month, except the shocking victory over Mansfield. The Kettering match has to go down as a very bad results, with Kettering in last place and already relegated, so I would have expected so much more from that game, but it wasn't to be!
End Of Season Report To Follow Soon!
Chester FC - Blue Square North - 2012-2013
League Table
A season of being consistently inconsistent up until February when we managed to string together a good unbeaten run of 12 games or so to drag ourselves into the Play-offs. We had to do it the hard way as we were chasing FC United for the last 5 games and we had to play 3 teams around us. 2 above us, Guiseley and Hinckley and FC Halifax below us.
Play-off Semi Final 1st Leg
The stats make us look like we were in it. We weren't and we were lucky to only be 2-1 down. Having two key players sent off wasn't helpful. Especially for the second leg.
Play-off Semi Final 2nd Leg
A game in which we were much improved. We had a goal disallowed at the start of the second half for "offside". It was blatently onside and that goal not being given certainly turned the game as they went and scored 2 more. One from a defensive mistake and the other from a penalty. We had more clear chances to score and probably should have scored another 4 more. But whether it be pressure or not, we failed to and fall at this hurdle.
FA Cup
We managed to get from the 2nd Qualifying Round all the way to the 1st Round proper. I was hopeful of an easier side than the one we got as there was many non-league sides still involved. Unfortunately we got one of the best sides in the 1st Round, Charlton Athletic and they well and truly beat us despite us taking the lead through a Matty McGinn free-kick.
FA Trophy
We fell at the 4th Qualifying Round in this competition to FC United during our bad spell. We just couldn't cope and although a trophy and some funds would have been nice, it's not a problem.
We had a lot of money at the start of the season and now we have next to nothing. We could have a few issues this season with finances as a few senior players will be leaving. I'm tempted to let them leave just before the start of the season so that I can use them and my under 18s that probably won't make the grade to earn us some money.
Transfers - Just to prove I haven't signed anyone.
My Player of the Season
Jamie Rainford - Jamie, much like most of our squad was consistently inconsistent. However, when he played he'd usually get a goal or he'd be key to most of our play.
My Young Player of the Season
There isn't much time for someone to win this. But this guy has done due to the way he's played.
Callum Chester - I was unsure whether or not to give Callum the YP9 tag as I didn't think he could make it. I promoted him to my first team though so he was there and I could use him if need be. Another one of my younger strikers failed to make an impact and I thought why not, throw him in and see what he can do. He scored a brace on his debut and I believe he became the youngest scorer for me or the Blue Square North. He also had a goal disallowed in the 2nd leg against Hinckley which had it gone it could have made the game a bit different.
Next Season
The team is set for next season until about March time. Hoepfully during pre-season we can help those current young players kick on and help them become better players. I'd also like us to have a strong pre-season, both financially and match wise in the hope that I can get another improvement on some of the club's facilities or networking.
Just a small update from me to show that I'm still around
League Table
Having a decent start to the first year so far, hopefully we can perform well enough to stay up.
We're going to need other people to step up though for that to happen as 5 out of the 6 goals scored have come from our striker
Some point last season, I overhauled my backroom staff with the hope of bringing in better quality coaches in order for my players to progress.
I'd figure now is the best time to go through by backroom staff and what training I try get them to take charge of.

In one of the trail journals I read, the author mentions packing her boots with newspaper to dry them out. On the one hand I can see perhaps some wicking action, but this would greatly reduce airflow.
Will this actually help dry shoes out?
Yes it does dry shoes much faster. When long distance hiking it is definitely a nice thing to be able to stop in town and dry your shoes overnight using newspapers. It will draw a lot of the dampness right out of your footwear.
This is a known trick and many people will attest to its magic.
Some people will also wrap the outside of the the shoe with newspaper and elastic bands. I've personally never used this before.
Before using the newspaper, I usually take a lightload towel and place it inside my shoe. I will than press on it using my foot and extract as much water as possible from the sole. I repeat the process until no more water is drawn and then use the newspaper.
I also use the towel trick on the trail after heavy rainfall except without the newspaper. This helps not having to walk with two small aquariums attached to my feet.
Yes, they dry faster. Newspaper ink got messy for me so instead I've used packing paper (the stuff that they wrap shoes with in the shoebox) for similar, yet cleaner, results. I've reused it many times, too.
While airflow does dry shoes, it is much less effective than physically wicking moisture away using towel, some or paper.
Capillary action is very effective at removing water from anything, and wide fibre or coarse paper, such as newspaper, or better still, tissue or kitchen towel or swimmers' chamois are your best bet on the trail or after a wet hike.
If you have a dry airflow available (some huts have stands where heated air goes through the shoes), that is of course faster. However, just leaving your boots stand does not lead to much air flow.
With (news)paper, you can easily take out the moisture and put in a new, dry paper. That is actually the key: If you just stuff your boots with paper and leave the moist paper inside the boots, it won't help that much. Of course you'll get some moisture out next morning with the wet paper, but if you replace the paper a few times over the evening (like @ppl does with the towel), you can get even soaked boots dry till morning.
I've tried using newspaper in my boots several times. - I hike at least once a week in normally wet, muddy conditions in BC Canada.
I usually stuff 4 large pages of newspaper in each boot. It really works and the boots dry in a matter of 6 hours!
Before I knew this trick, I'd leave the boots to air dry, which took days and days. Eventually they'd be rotten before they'd fully dried.
Yes we did this when I was in the army, you need to replace the newspaper once it has soaked up some of the water. Another trick is to place a tea light candle inside your boot at the part where your ankle would sit so it doesnt burn anything (not at the same time as the newspaper).
I've never tried this, but maybe it'll work...
One thing that absorbs moisture is rice. Ever seen salt shakers in a restaurant that has bits of rice in it? That's to keep moisture from getting into the salt. You can stuff the rice into pantyhose or similar netted material and then put that into your boots overnight.
(I wouldn't recommend eating the rice after though)

Katie Lyon
Consultant, Higher Education Division
How did receiving a Tippie MBA prepare you for your career?
The Tippie program is truly one of a kind when it comes to the quality of students, staff, and faculty. I appreciated not only the small class size, but the work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit of the students Tippie attracts. As a higher education consultant, I know firsthand how difficult it is to create an environment that allows for individualized and customized learning. Tippie is absolutely differentiated from other MBA programs here. It was wonderful leaving with friends and colleagues who will support me throughout my career and not just during my time as a student.
What were you seeking when you started an MBA, and do you feel that your Tippie MBA helped you achieve it?
I knew I wanted to work with a mission-driven company, having come from a nonprofit background. But while I was here, my eyes were opened to various for-profit jobs, positions in different industries, and marketing roles that I had never considered. My career services advisor played a large part in broadening my career options, suggesting industries, job titles, and companies that matched my aspirations, as well as connecting me with alumni and professionals in the field. Tippie really helped me develop my professional network, something that's proven invaluable in advancing my career.
How did your participation in extra activities enhance your experience or prepare you for success?
I am really grateful for the opportunity to have had several substantial leadership roles during my time as a student. I had the opportunity to teach undergrad business students, lead a BSC project within a prominent hospital system, and lead the NAWMBA organization. Those three experiences combined with my internship within educational consulting really prepared me for and made me a competitive candidate for my role upon graduation. Tippie catapulted me into a professional level that otherwise would have taken me years to achieve.

Is it possible to design a physical experiment that shows that a time limited signal, such as a rectangular pulse is composed of infinite continuous sine/cosine waves?
How to design an experiment that shows that a rectangular pulse can be expressed as a series of infinite sinusoids?
Idea #2: Build an electronic circuit that separates a periodic input signal (e.g. a square wave) into its component frequencies (using an array of band-pass filters) and then adds these signals back together to get an approximation of the original signal.
A friend of mine did a very similar experiment for his college project. The idea was to test the frequency response of a Hi-Fi amplifier by using a delta function. A true delta function has equal amplitudes of all frequencies, so if you take the amplifier output and Fourier transform it to get the spectrum this immediately gives you the frequency response.
Of course you can't generate a delta function, so what he did was to use a rectangular wave with as low a mark space ratio as he could get. Then by Fourier transforming both the input and output and taking the ratio of the spectra you can extract the frequency response.
As I recall, the experiment worked OK but it was hard to get the input pulse narrow enough to get a really wide frequency range. After all, the range of hearing extends for three orders of magnitude.
Idea #1: Build a physical representation of the phasor diagram. Here, each frequency component is represented as a rotating vector, and all of these vectors are stacked end-to-end. In a physical representation, each vector could be a metal bar, and they could be geared to rotate at the correct rates.

This question already has an answer here:
Up to now I have used Microsoft Windows. I am a beginner with Unix generally and with Ubuntu 12.04 particularly. I have got advices to try the system by a command 'Firefox' and then to install a developers tool by a command 'sudo apt-get install gcc'. I have tried to write the command directly to the Ubuntu desktop window; a command line appeared, I have written the command 'Firefox' (without apostrophe characters and pressed Enter key), but it starts no action, though the Firefox browser starts well from an icon left at the desktop window of the newly installed Ubuntu.
I see, that about 'sudo apt-get install gcc' with Ubuntu 12.04 problems do exist and are discussed at the http://askubuntu.com . I have written the command 'sudo apt-get install gcc' to the Ubuntu desktop window, too; the system requested my password and made an icon 'Update manager'. I have installed all 211 updates, but the 'Firefox' nor the other command does not work and the 'Update manager' icon disappeared. My Canon MG5150 USB printer does not print as a 'generic printer' from the installation.
Evidently I need first beginner's manuals how to work with the Ubuntu 12.04 (pressing F1 does nothing) and what are base commands of Unix. And also how to work with the Firefox browser; I have guessed how to set a bookmark but I do not see how to call it. And also how to make FTP connections and how to transfer files to the Windows XP and from it by a net or by an USB flash. Please advise me which manuals, thanks, Tomas Peceny

Alcohol Abuse Costs DoD Dearly
By Staff Sgt. Kathleen T. Rhem, USA
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 6, 2000 -- Twenty-one percent of service members admit to
drinking heavily -- a statistic the military hasnt managed to lower in
20 years -- but service officials are determined to change that.
If you look at heavy use of alcohol, drinking a lot in a short span of time, we tend to have a higher prevalence than the civilian community, said Lt. Col. Wayne Talcott, an Air Force psychologist. Young military people between 18 and 25 also tend to do more heavy drinking than their civilian peers, he noted.
Speaking only in terms of medical care and lost time at work, alcohol abuse costs DoD more than $600 million each year, said Navy Capt. Robert Murphy, a medical corps officer. DoD spends another $132 million a year to care for babies with fetal alcohol syndrome -- sometimes-serious health problems related to their mothers heavy drinking.
Talcott and Murphy co-chair the relatively new DoD Alcohol Abuse and Tobacco Use Reduction Committee. Their goal is to reduce the prevalence of heavy drinking within the military by 5 percent a year by changing DoD officials focus on alcohol abuse from treatment to prevention.
We have very good treatment programs, but theyre very expensive and dont reach a lot of people, Murphy said. Were focusing on prevention. Were certainly not opposed to alcohol use, but we are trying to reduce the prevalence of alcohol abuse.
Were trying to prevent people from having to see a specialist, Talcott said. If you want to decrease prevalence, you need to have policies and programs in place across the spectrum to discourage heavy drinking.
As some colleges do with their students, Talcott said, the committee wants to help service members understand the liabilities associated with heavy drinking. We want to help them understand if you drink this much and you drive youre going to be under the influence, or at this level youre impaired, he said.
The committee also aims to better track alcohol-related adverse events, such as incidences of driving under the influence, suicides, crimes and domestic violence, Murphy said. He explained theres no centralized DoD tracking system, though the services collect data that can be collated into DoD-wide figures.
Recent civilian studies have turned up some frightening statistics, Murphy said. Thirty-one percent of all occupational injuries are alcohol-related, as are 23 percent of suicides and 32 percent of homicides.
Talcott said senior officials have likened DoD's new approach to preventive maintenance. You maintain a jet engine so it doesnt fall out of the sky, he said. We need to begin to look at where there are risks to the human weapon system and how we can build a system that protects our people.
This is very different from previous approaches, he said. You typically have program offices that largely are designed to treat people with alcohol problems, Talcott explained. Rather than waiting for people to develop
severe problems, we want to build into the system ways to get the right messages to help our young people make better decisions about their drinking behavior.
Its not the use, its alcohol abuse that gets people into trouble, he said.

I think I know the answer to this and realize that it is similar to this question about nuts, but I wanted to verify my instinct. When a recipe calls for 1 ½ cups cooked X, is that recipe calling for that ingredient measured before or after cooking?
Recipe-speak is very particular about order.
Obviously there's no difference between 3 carrots, roasted and 3 roasted carrots. Nor between 2 eggs, hardboiled and sliced and 2 hardboiled sliced eggs. And in many cases the volume of things isn't much affected by cooking. In some cases it is easier to measure before or afterwards, and the recipe-writer wants to point you in the easier way. But in some it really matters. Rice, for example. 1 cup of raw rice yields roughly 3 cups cooked, so recipe writers need to be super clear which you are measuring.
In your example, 1.5 cups cooked X, you cook it and then measure it.

Well, actually, I'm concentrated on the form as an art. The medicinal part (as they call it), is just the form. The other part of it is called the application. We practice the application and push hands at the "Dojo" I go to. But the thing is, they use punches and kicks, however... They're not quite like how you might think. First off, they're not used very often... Second, it's more or less "pushing your enemy" with the punches or kicks. They're not actually using muscle to hurt their opponent, but still using their balance against them or bending their bodies to proportions that would cause fractures and such.

Yes, but this is the truth for most martial arts. You simply cannot practice them 'all out' without hurting others. They have been modified to ensure their practitioners are not seriously harmed in their quest to improve their skills. However, at their origin many years ago, they were intended to hurt and finish the fight.
If anything, the concepts you learn while practicing at your dojo probably don't require much modification/improvisation/inspiration to turn into something more dangerous should the situation call for it. Given the fighting context of the game, it isn't unreasonable to assume that the character has adjusted his art accordingly.
If this isn't the way you want to go, perhaps you could explore the avenue of imposing penalties to the opposing character, such as slowing his actions down for a time while he is under the re-orienting effects of the punches/kicks?

What kind of environment are your characters fighting in? You can add something akin to a pit of spikes that kills/inflicts damage, and players can try to push their opponents into those. Tai Chi characters' offensive attacks would do less damage, but assert a much larger backward force. Even if it ends up being a slightly weaker character, it would also be more fun to play because it always feels awesome to send one's opponent flying, regardless of actual damage dealt.
Another thing you could do is have a throw attack that doubles in power if used as a counter.
Keep in mind that the downside of using a keyboard/buttons as the control scheme, the player is very limited and is not going to get the actual "feel" of martial arts. You could rework the control scheme such that the mouse is used for special attacks, in which case the throw could be done by clicking on the opponent and dragging the mouse to indicate the force and direction of the throw. If the direction the mouse is dragged is the direction the opponent is moving in when the mouse is released, then force is increased greatly. This could be balanced by having the opponent be free to move until the attack is executed when the mouse is released, so successfully pulling it off would require skilled reflex/timing on the part of the player.
If you choose to add the mouse attack, it'd be best to used the WASD keys instead of the arrows because most players are right handed.

This is Taiji Chaun (Chen Style). Some of the stuff he's doing is just for flash, but otherwise, this is how Tai Chi is. I will try to take your advice though. Also, notice how he isn't attacking first, but being attacked.
It's more of a Street Fighter type thing (Not exactly like that at all, but that's the closest I can determine it as since it's an easy example). Also, doing such a thing would cause problems. The thing is, with most fighting games, people normally want to face 1 on 1. So using the mouse to throw would cause too many problems because you can't connect 2 mouses (From my knowledge) onto 1 computer (Unless maybe it's USB or something), not to mention that normally, a keyboard would cause problems in a fighting game.
Example: Online, when I play a fighting game, it's kind of a nuisance to fight with a keyboard and you're kind of thrown off your game because you can't perform a move properly or as well as you should be able to.
Thank you for trying though. : )

James Patterson's scariest, sexiest stand-alone thriller since The Quickie.
Ben isn't like most people. Unable to control his racing thoughts, he's a man consumed by his obsessions: movies, motorcycles, presidential trivia-and Diana Hotchkiss, a beautiful woman Ben knows he can never have.
When Diana is found dead outside her apartment, Ben's infatuation drives him on a hunt to find out what happened to the love of his life.
Ben soon discovers that the woman he pined for was hiding a shocking double life. And now someone is out to stop Ben from uncovering the truth about Diana's illicit affairs.
In his most heart-pumping thriller yet, James Patterson plunges us into the depths of a mind tortured by paranoia and obsession, on an action-packed chase through a world of danger and deceit.

Chapter 1
Let's see what she has in her medicine cabinet. I mean, as long as I'm here.
Careful, though. Before you turn on the light, close the bathroom door. The rest of her apartment is dark. Best to keep it that way.
What do we have here...lotions, creams, moisturizers, lip balm, ibuprofen. What about the meds? Amoxicillin for a sinus infection...lorazepam for anxiety...
Diana has anxiety? What the heck does she have to be anxious about? She's the most put-together woman I know.
And what's this? Cerazette for...birth control. She's on the pill? Diana is on the pill? She never told me that. She isn't having sex with me. Not yet, anyway. So who is she having sex with?
Diana, every time I think I have you figured out, you remind me that you're a mystery. A mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma—Joe Pesci's line from JFK, though Winston Churchill first used it in a 1939 radio address to describe Russia. President Roosevelt, who grew very close to Churchill during the war, once wrote to him, It is fun to be in the same decade with you.
Diana, it is fun to be in the same decade with you. Now excuse me while I check out your bedroom closet.
Same drill: get inside, close the door, then turn on the light. Keep the light from filtering into the remainder of the condo.
Whoa. At least a hundred pairs of shoes, meticulously lined up. Stuart Weitzman stilettos. Black knee-high Manolo Blahnik alligator-skin boots. Roger Vivier heels with a satin-rose toe. Red Jimmy Choos. Pink Escada evening sandals. Black Chanel pumps, appropriate for the boardroom or a five-star restaurant.
Woodrow Wilson favored white dress shoes with his linen suits. Lincoln had the biggest presidential shoe, a size 14, while Rutherford B. Hayes had the smallest, a size 7.
You'll have to excuse me. Sometimes my mind wanders. Kind of like Moses through the desert. Except that he had a better excuse. And a speech impediment—unlike me, unless you count putting your foot in your mouth.
Anyway, that's a long story, so back to our regularly scheduled programming: Lady Diana's Closet. And what do we have here, hanging behind a row of dresses, hidden from all but the keenest of voyeurs? Hmm...
Leather vests and headgear. Chains and whips. Vibrators of various kinds and colors. One of them is purple and curved on the end (I'm not sure why). Most of them are shaped like the male organ, but some have appendages for some reason. There are some black beads on a string...what are those for? Nipple rings—I get that, I guess. Creams and lotions. A long yellow feather—
Then I hear it and see it and feel it all at once—movement across the carpet, brushing against my leg, circling me—
"Hey, Cinnamon," I say after the momentary terror dissipates and the prickling of my spine ceases. Diana's Abyssinian cat, three years old. The word Abyssinian is Ethiopian, but the origin of the breed is believed to be Egyptian. Isn't that weird? Abyssinians have bigger ears and longer tails than most cats. Their hair is lighter at the root than at the tip; only a handful of breeds have hair like that. I told Diana she should have named her cat Caramel, because it more accurately describes the color of her coat. Plus I just like caramel more than cinnamon, especially those candy chews.
Okay, time to get to work. I turn off the closet light before I open the door—still dark in the place. I feel like Paul Newman in Thief.
Start with the bedroom. There's a desk on one side, near the balcony. Next to it, a pair of electrical outlets. I plug the AC adapter into the lower outlet and drag the cord behind the window curtain toward the desk. It looks just like any other AC adapter for a computer or appliance. But it's a high-resolution, motion-activated video recorder with thirty-two hours of memory that will film the entire room in color. It can be switched to continuous recording if necessary, but motion activation is the smarter play here. I like this one because it doesn't need a battery, as it's plugged into the wall. And it doesn't transmit signals—it only records them to an SD card that can be played on a computer—so it wouldn't be detected in a bug sweep.
Keeping low, I move out of the bedroom into Diana's main living space, which has an open floor plan that encompasses a small kitchen area and a large living and dining area. Her place is on the top floor of a condo building in Georgetown, which means she's paying for location, not square footage.
I don't want to use another AC adapter; if one is discovered, the other will be found. Diversify, I say. But this one will be more complicated than plugging something into a wall, so I need my night-vision goggles—like the serial killer in The Silence of the Lambs, except I've never murdered anyone, much less skinned them.
Murder can be made to look like suicide, and suicide can be made to look like murder.
Tired of worrying about house fires and home intruders? Want to spy on your party guests while you protect them from unwanted smoke inhalation? Introducing Benjamin's functional all-in-one smoke detector and covert color camera. This easy-to-use gadget mounts to any ceiling and comes in three attractive colors to match any decor. Best of all, its 3.6-millimeter pinhole camera and audio microphone let you see and hear everything in the room. But that's not all: if you act now, we'll throw in a twelve-volt power adapter absolutely free!
Trust me, I'm not as normal as I seem.
Okay, all done. The kitchen looks the same as it did when I entered. I drop Diana's old smoke detector and my nightvision goggles into my gym bag and stop for a minute to make sure I haven't left anything behind.
I check my watch: it's 9:57 p.m. My instructions were to be done by ten. So I made it with three minutes to spare.
I reach for the doorknob and then it hits me—I've made a terrible mistake.
Paul Newman didn't star in Thief. It was James Caan.
How could I mix up Paul Newman and James Caan? Must be the nerves.
I lock up and move quickly down the hallway to the fire escape, accessible with a key. I pop the door open and slip into the night air just as I hear the ding of the elevator down the hallway.

After a fair bit of reading in the past few weeks, I think I've managed to work out what I need in terms of hardware.
I currently have a Canon 5D Mk II with Canon 15mm fisheye (EF15), tripod etc.
I volunteer at a steam/railway museum and one of my projects is to create a VR tour of the two Royal Coaches that they have in their collection. Whilst the public can look through some of the carriage windows, they are not permitted inside. Hopefully VR can allow a detailed view from the many compartments inside and make the exhibit more accessible.
Last month I took a series of 8 hand-held test shots (with the EF15) inside the various compartments just to see if the concept was workable - there is a test sequence and stitch at http://bressingham-volunteer.blogspo...and-royal.html. Some of the compartments eg. bathrooms are very, shall we say, "compact" and will prove to be quite a challenge to photograph!
Given I have a larger DSLR and want to be able to use my other lenses in a landscape environment I have opted for the NN5 with RD16 and EZ Leveler II. I'm also considering the nadir adaptor as I will be shooting both zenith and nadir shots to make a complete spherical(?) panorama (I haven't yet started looking at the types and projections in depth - so spherical might be the wrong term).
Does this seem a sensible approach? I did consider other rotators such as the RD8, but the flexibility of the RD16 means that it will get use beyond this project.
I am new to the 360 degree concept (having previously shot in 617 format on film), so there's a fair bit for me to learn regarding stitching techniques and web presentation.
Looking forward to my purchase very soon.

In honor of Kenan finally hitting his comedic stride on Saturday Night Live, we bring you this vintage treat from Nickelodeon's kids-centric sketch comedy show that thrived in the mid 1990s.
Here, Kenan plays Randy, the chef with a chocolate fetish who throws an extra layer of chocolate on everything. Chris Farley guest stars as a chef who feel the same way about ketchup, and hilarity ensues. We really like seeing these two play off each other, transcending their age difference.

P2P4U Net: Tottenham Hotspur F.C.
Although it is not as well known as other English football clubs such as Manchester United or Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has had a history of success in English football matched only by these other elite clubs. The club was originally founded as Hotspur Football Club in 1882 and later changed their name to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. One of Tottenham Hotspur's most notable achievements occurred over the last sixty years when the club won a major trophy in every decade since 1950, something which only Manchester United was also able to do. Tottenham Hotspur's first major win came in 1901 when they won the F.A. Cup. Tottenham Hotspur was also the first club to win both the League Cup and the F.A. Cup in the same season, back in 1960-61. Another first that Tottenham Hotspur achieved was becoming the first British football club to win the European Cup Winners Cup in 1963. Tottenham Hotspur's last major trophy came in 2008 when they won the League Cup and topped the Premier league. In 2010-11 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. finished a respectable 5th in the Premier league.
Tottenham Hotspur is most often known by both fans and rivals as the Spurs, though they have also been known to be called the lilywhites from time to time thanks in large part to their primarily white home kits. The home colors for the Spurs are blue and white and the current home uniform is all white except for the navy blue shorts. The away kit is a bit more eccentric and is almost completely blue except for a few well placed patches of white. The official crest of Tottenham Hotspur features a cockerel balancing on top on an English football with the name of the team written below in blue letters on a white background.
Tottenham Hotspur has played on a variety of different grounds over the past 120 years, some of which P2P4U believes were a bit more charming and quaint than their current residence. The first ground that the Spurs called home was Tottenham Marshes where the club played home matches for the first 6 years of its existence. After a short stop in Northumberland Park the Spurs eventually settled in at White Hart Lane where stands were built to accommodate the club's ever growing fan base. A series of renovations and expansions over the last hundred years have increased the capacity of White Hart Lane to over 36,000 people, though at times there are still more fans than seats at many home matches.
Like many other football clubs Tottenham Hotspur has a Latin motto that translates into something profound. The motto for the Spurs is "Audere est Facere," which literally translates into "To do is to dare."
Even though it shares its area of influence with a handful of other clubs Tottenham Hotspur has maintained one of the best attendance records over the years and routinely hosts sold out matches at White Hart Lane. The supporters of Tottenham Hotspur also have rivalries with the fans of other local clubs, especially with fans of Arsenal since the clubs both draw heavily out of North London.
The Appearance record for the Spurs is held by Steve Perryman who P2P4U net calculates appeared in 854 games for the club from 1969 to 1986. The goal scoring record is held by a man named Jimmy Greaves who scored a prolific 266 goals in only 380 games. Second on the all-time scorer list for the Spurs is Bobby Smith who scored 208 goals in 317 matches. Tottenham Hotspur F.C. is currently managed by Harry Redknapp who has led the club to 70 wins in 145 games, good enough for a 45.28 winning percentage which is the sixth highest winning percentage in club history. Since 1882 the Spurs have won an impressive 8 F.A Cups, 4 League Cups, 2 first division championships and two UEFA cups and while their last big win was in 2008 the club looks to be heading in the right direction under the guidance of veteran manger Harry Redknapp. In the next season or two P2P4U net would not be surprised to see this squad at the top of the Premier league, or at least close to it.Tags: p2p4u, p2p4u net, p2p4u net tottenham hotspur, tottenham hotspur p2p4u

When I'm asking a question and adding tags, the names of individual tags I enter change into icons. It would be nice to be able to click on those icons to open their information page in a new browser tab (since I would not want to discard the question). That way, I could quickly check on what sort of questions use the tag, and also check more thoroughly on whether I'm writing a duplicate.
Currently, I must open the site in a new tab, and either copy and paste or type the given tag name into the search bar of the new tab. That should be doable in one click.
The icon for turning tag icons into text should appear on the far right of the tag bar. (I think it is a very rarely used option.)
Eventually, there should be a drop-down field that offer an option to change name, and open a new tab on a page listing the questions with the given tag.

Changing width of FileUploadField
Been trying to increase the width of the textfield within the FileUploadField component.
Have tried setSize, but it only changes the height.
Tried getFileInput().setSize(..) (after render event) but seems to have no effect.
Any ideas?
If I call setAutoWidth(true), the field itself seems to expand, but not the textfield within the component, as seen by the Browse button moving on the right side.
29 Oct 2010 2:05 AM #2
You have to call setWidth(500) of the fileuploadfield. Your code changes the size of some inner elements (which yuo dont want to do)

I got it in the Cathedral. Its description:
Is there a meaning behind it?
In the release version of the game the item "Black Mushroom" is a component in creating the item "Staff of Herding." It is still an Easter Egg referencing Diablo 1 though, but also helps in crafting the item.
The full list of items needed to create the "Staff of Herding" are: Black Mushroom, Wirt's Belt, Liquid Rainbow, Gibbering Gemstone, Leoric's Shinbone, the crafting plans, and a 50,000 gold crafting fee. Additionally, the item can be "leveled up" per difficulty by finding the plans for that difficulty, using a created staff from the weaker difficulty, and paying the crafting cost to create the "leveled up" version of the staff.
List of requirements for the staff and its upgrades:
It has also been confirmed that the staff is used to get to the secret level.
It's an ingredient for crafting the Staff of Herding, which opens the portal to Whimsyshire, the secret level.
It alludes to a diablo cave quest where Adria asked the hero to find a Black Mushroom item. The D3 item's description comes verbatim from Deckard Cain's NPC response during that quest:
Finding the Black Mushroom in the Cathedral:
Thanks to extensive research by agent86, the Black Mushroom is used to make the Staff of Herding, which is used to access Wimsyshire, a land of rainbows.

To quote from his answer:
It is Easter Egg referencing to a Diablo 1 and part of a "key" for the possible diablo 3 secret level.
"The Witch Adria seeks a Black Mushroom? I know as much about Black Mushrooms as I do about Red Herrings. Perhaps Pepin the Healer could tell you more, but this is something that cannot be found in any of my stories or books."
This is the complete line from deckard cain in diablo 1 Here is the complete quest dialogue.
Possible usage: since the secret cow level in D2 used a D1 easteregg in the crafting recipe (Wirt's leg), and the Black Mushroom is another D1 easteregg,It could lead to the new "secret level" of Diablo 3.
Now since full release of the game you can use the mushroom with other ingredients to create the "staff of herding" full guide here.The use for the staff is still unknown bit no doubt it will be something fun.
