this is what I get on some players when clicking the button on the scout report.
I find it very sad that you have your head so high up your rear, that you cannot see that other people might have other experiences than you.
All the players I have signed for my team, are mediocre players. A 12th place in BSS proves that. If I had exploited the button, I would surely have signed loads of quality players, right?
1) You're apparent 'rule' on scouting players first. One simple word... Robinho. Man City didn't spend months and months scouting Robinho, did we? No... we signed him in a day, because we could. At the time, we thought... EXCELLENT! Top quality player, sign him up. You could say the same about Sol Campbell at Notts County.
2) This is football. In football, players like money. Regardless of who you are... if you have money, players will listen. Take Malaga for example, they have money, they get players. PSG get money, they get players. Man City get superstars! Crawley Town are the same, if I recall correctly. There's nothing stopping me at FC United bidding for Carlos Tevez, him listening to what I have to offer, and then going... Nahh, not enough. That's the true fact... any player will listen to an offer. Remember when Wayne Rooney was prepared to listen to Manchester City? Point proven.
3) Finally, the Premier League starlets. Ever thought that they could possibly be rejected these 'bigger clubs' because they want more game time? It could be possible that SI have got a system in that allows players to choose between more money, and more playing time? I'm not sure. But what I will say, is that if you were a footballer who just got released from your last club, end up spending 6 months unemployed, and then FC United come and say play for us... like you're not gonna listen. You'll want to play, even at a small club. That's how it works.
I'm not calling you a liar, but I am suggesting that this is ENTIRELY realistic.
Also, Wycombe have just offered a contract to an ageing Gabby Agbonlahor. So if I'm exploiting anything, then the AI managers are too!! Or, alternatively, it might be a totally realistic feature they've added this year which means you can offer a contract to most players if you scout them first. Whether they'll accept it is another matter. The day I actually SIGN a James Milner in the BSN with no sugar daddy, I'll admit it's a bug!
Ok Guys please take this elsewhere. I am sure that Dafuge or anyone else in this thread is happy to see this kind of petulant arguing here.
I personally will personally make sure that i don't use this button (I didn't even realise that it was there tbh.) I rarely sign from a scout report and prefer to trial my players, and then offer them a contract if i wish too.
However if people use it then fair enough. At the end of the day we can not be sure how people are playing this, some may be reloading whenever they lose, some may be using fmrte (If there is one for this version) some may be downloading tactics to use, at the end of the day it is up to THAT indivdual person what they do.
This thread is to discuss our games, so lets use it for just that.
Back on topic, i am loving this challenge, never got all the way through before, but i am hoping i will this season. Bury Town for the Premier league by 2022 is my hope
Haha so much stick. Yes I am plating the challenge as Weymouth. I am in my 4th season and I am struggling in the BSP. I have not and will not use an exploit. If you guys want to fine. GoM, they entered negotions with you even if they 4m a year. They still entered negotiations.
Tell you what, i'm gonna try something.... brb
Yes, back to normality. Just finished my 2nd season. 13th place finish! I'll have a full update tomorrow.
Glenn, I have to thank you for the tactic help. That change to 4-4-2 worked absolute wonders!
Two final words on the subject at this point. They are "Sol" and "Campbell". I rest my case.
Good luck bouncing back up. Looks like you're in for a challenge.
Scab= my Worksop team are currently the lowest rep team in the BSN/S by a distance, which is a bit strange seeing as I've been in the playoffs and not finished lower than 17th in any of my 7 seasons. Rep seems to be a little messed up this year. But thats not the point. The Met Police player I mentioned was approaced less than a year after my playoff semi-final defeat, when I know my rep was about 18th in the league because I checked it for a post that year.
Also, if I was "cheating", then I wouldnt be doing as badly as I currently am! As we speak I'm 2-0 down to Boston and will probably be on 8 points from 7 games. Given that plenty of people are being promoted in their first season, dont you think if I was going to cheat, I would have been promoted by now? I'm in 2019/20!!
EDT: That was kinda meant as a mini-update, in case you missed the point of it!
Ok here is a free agent, obviously of premiership class:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Here is my scout report telling me he doeswn't want to sign for me:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Here is what I get if I offer him a contract through the player screen:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Here is what I get if offer him a contract direct from the scout news item:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
And there was silence....
Exactly. And what team of BSN level can afford those kind of wages?
No Henry it proves my point. If you're in the BSN/S there is no way you can sign that player. End of. Probably true of BSP/L2 and probably L1 too. Might even be beyond the reach of a lot of championship clubs. Not to mention that if a higher rep club comes in for him and offers the same or even slightly less wages, then he'd probably chose them over you.
No he didn't want to enter negotiations, until I used the EXPLOIT! He's 24 and a real class act. Only $2500 a week? Geez I wonder what I could get a world class youngster under the age of 20 for?....
On the other hand this guy, who is the best of the two goalkeepers I've signed this summer, is not even of BSP quality. He's probably not even top-half-of-bsn quality. Im just hoping that my forward players are good enough to cancel that out!
£2,500 a week for a youth player? Go check how much Jack Wilshere was on before he signed his contract last year. Go check how much Ignasi Miquel is on now. Go check how much Chuks Aneke is on, or even Joel Campbell (sorry for using Arsenal references but I dont know of any really good young talent in other clubs who arent yet first team).
He's 24......
Joel Campbell? He's just 19....
EDT: I see who you meant. Fine but then look at his history. One of two options. Either he's been playing at an AvR of around 6.00 or he's not been playing and is desperate for football.
Henry, there is pretty much no point in insisting the offer contract option is a bug or exploitation until SI have come out and given their verdict either way. The only thing to do is seat tight and try and play your game without dictating to others how they should play theirs.
Posting pictures doesn't really prove anything as none of us have an understanding of whether this is a coding issue or something SI intended to be in the game.
Bottom line...lets just stick to talking about the challenge rather than ****ing dafuge's thread up.
I have no idea what you're on about. Guess you're an Ars fan. If you look at those pics I posted and cycle left (there is an option to do this on the right hand side of the screen to look at my other images) I am currently working on a load of Arsenal wallpapers that might be featuring on .com. They are WIP so not finished, but you're welcome to look, and use if you so wish.
Yep you're right grff, my lips remain sealed from now on.
grff - seeing as this is a central point of the challenge, I actually think the debate is useful even if Henry's attitude is pathetic. The fact is that without this bug-fix/exploit, I literally couldnt sign any players. You've seen my posts - I had Murphy who was great, Adorjan who was OK, and Doyle who was awesome, but no-one else. I'm almost certain that I accidentally used this bug-fix/exploit to sign these players as no-one even half as good has signed for me since. If this is because of a bug, then frankly I think its a very important issue in this forum and a valid point of debate....
Read the OP properly - it gives instructions - it is coded into the game this year, for the first time.
I', pathetic because I disagree....great.
No, pathetic because you dismiss others' opinions out of hand. Im willing to admit it's possible I'm wrong - which is why I do want clarification from SI. But I'm almost certain I'm not. Apart from anything else, it's not like I'm signing worldbeaters. I have signed two keepers so far using the work-around/alternative way of signing players and no-one else, and despite quite a good start to the season, their AvRs are 6.63 and 6.30, and they are on a combined £18k out of a total squad wage of £178k....

Sorry if I'm being thick, but i don't know how to get that edit filter screenJust like previous years, the players for the newly playable clubs need to be added which can be done using a custom database. The players from the three feeder league have to be added, which looks like this. If people wish to add extra players, players from top clubs in each continent may be loaded, but no more.
EDIT - yes on reflection that was pretty thick!
Last edited by Junior89; 04-11-2011 at 00:50.
Database size > custom
Anyway i'm done. The offer for the Arsenal wallpapers is above...
When you go to the screen to decide what division you want your country to go down to, below that you can make the database small, medium or large, in that you can add extra detail
Cheers - let me know when they're finished and I might well download them. Not going to till then though - that would be silly!
You've probably already done so, but it might also be worth comparing your results against other Worksop managers to see if they have had the issue with lack of quality signings.
As I'm doing the table, I've seen that plenty of Worksop managers have done well. Theres at least two Worksopi (!) in League Two atm.
Anyone who has seen this thread will know I'm never very good at this. I think I've had two promotions in total in over 3 years of playing this challenge now. If I wanted to cheat my way to the top, I think I would have done it by now!
EDT: MY GKs' ATTRIBUTES.
I assume you meant GK attributes rather than general technical ones....
Last edited by GreyedOutMan; 04-11-2011 at 00:58.
Sorry, I meant the general technical ones. I got distracted watching Barb Wire! lol
Eurgh, can't really see what the fuss is about - this is the "premiership"(haha) quality goalkeeper that I signed recently in action. Hardly likely to win me the BSN single-handed is he! Just my luck though - keeps happening, that sort of thing. We played really well in that game, too, only to harshly lose it 3-2. I still hate this game, even though at least now I can actually sign the occasional player!
Last edited by GreyedOutMan; 04-11-2011 at 01:12.
What are your tactics like? (not to be read as "it's your tactics!!!") and your team talks. I've read from a few different threads that over complicated tactics in LLM will kill your team, plus that team talks are so much more important this time around.
I'm far from any kind of FM expert, especially having got the boot with my Forest save game this week, but I tend to try to take in as many guides and tutorials as I can nowadays, avoiding the lazy ways I used to fall into when expecting overnight success. Not that I'm saying you're lazy, mind you.
Yeah I've moved to a much more simple 442 this season. I'm also aiming to raise morale with every teamtalk - which means using "I have faith" most of the time, and only ever being negative if its obvious that we've underperformed.....all this seems to be what's recommended and generally my results have been better when morale is high from teamtalks.....
As much as I hate teamtalks and press conferences, due to the time and repetitiveness, I've had to embrace them due to the big effect they have. I also find that the team meeting option is a good tool to have when things are really bad or good....almost a quick cheat at boosting morale.
I'll keep an eye out for your progress, fella. Keep the faith!
Yeah but unfortunately its sooooo easy to get the team meeting slightly wrong and totally destroy morale! Why on earth my team objected to me saying "we're doing well but we can do even better" is beyond me. We made it to the playoffs a few years ago, why is it so crazy to think we could do so again?!
I dont understand why that one isnt effective. For me its perfect when the team has played well. You're telling them they're brilliant but also giving them a gentle reminder that if they can play like this, they shouldnt be playing like a pile of horse manure during the other 41 matches a year!!
Teamtalks and team meetings severly lack any kind of logic.
Well just checking in on my lunch break at work and didn't realise I'd started a forum argument. Hopefully HenryJudas is able to untwist his feminine underwear at some point. Greyed, play the game how you like. Reputation has always been as big a bug as something like this supposedly is anyway.
It probably is an exploit but I don't see it as much different to a couple of versions ago when if a player wasn't interested, you could still throw a contract at him and try and change his mind with high wages/bonuses. If you want a player too good for you, usually you can't afford what he asks for, or he goes to a league club instead. The only promising youth I've signed are players who have not attracted any interest from league clubs and I've still had to stretch my budget to sign. Furthermore, if a youth is rejecting clubs like Deportivo to sign with St Albans, then that is probably a bigger issue with the game than a screen exploit. Or maybe he just wants to put himself in the shop window and play?
But I'm sure we'd rather they all retire at 19 instead. But HJ, you can certainly ignore my updates too as I undertake a 4th season in the BSS.

12 games in and I'm sitting 2nd in League 1, quite happy with that!
Are you allowed to resign from your club and take over at a newly promoted club?
Wasn't aware either...of course, I don't even use the player search....I use scouts and coach advice, + scout pool for players that pop up in my newsbox. Mixed fellings about it...feels like a game exploit, or at least, no WAD....just doesn't make sense. Regardless....not going to affect the way I play. Nothing in the rules for/against atm either...
First season over and done with after a very promising start finished mid table. League Table & Transfers
Good luck with the second season Nickolaidis!
I'm going a bit better in my second season...currently only 8th on the table, but on good run of form...had decent cup runs this year...will have mid-season report in a day or so...
Had my first tip as leading contender for a job...I denied interest to the media (before I was actually offered the job, of course
edit: Childhood dream achievement---offered job at favorite team. As mine is only Cambridge, I expect to have this achievement soon enough
33 games into my second season and I've secured a playoff spot Now to hold my 16 point lead...
Champions with 5 games to spare
Hurry up Holiday Man, I want to start!
I'll be applying what I learnt in guiding the mighty Salisbury City to L2 in FM11 .
Lost my unbeaten home record on the 24th Jan in my second season in the BSP. Hope this is not a sign of things to come.
Dropped down to 4th after that shcoking 1-0 defeat to plymouth
I'm not sure really, definitely not a big club like FC United, a northern club or the Met Police!
Perhaps somewhere local to me (Coventry), Leamington, Evesham, Banbury etc. I'm not gonna save the game on the 23rd so it's pot luck!
Congrats on promotion by the way Howie .
Harrow for me .
In January now, just sitting outside the Play-Offs. As long as I don't go back down to League 2 I'll be happy!
Ok. In BSN last season i had a wage budget of 4.2k (aus). I got promoted and now have a wage budget of 3.8k in BSP. Did anyone else have this? How did you get past it?
They usually set it by how much money you have
For the 4th season in a row, a decent winning streak which puts me top is followed by an utterly illogical winless streak which screws up my season. Why does it change so dramatically and so suddenly?
Can anyone who's got to league two give me some advice. I've only got a £3,500 wage budget, which I've maxed despite only having about 18 players. some of these 18 are out of contract and want at least a thousand per week, and any decent signings I want to make want the same. I've only got 5 defenders and 1 GK. I can't sign any loans or ask for an increase in the wage budget. And I can no longer sign Part time or non-contract players.
Has everyone else had similar problems? I should add that I'm doing okay, P7, W2, D1 and L4 (2 cup games). So I'll stay up, but the question is will it get better next season?
Just to give my 2cent on the sign in scout report button(which I haven't even seen before) By the look of it the terms they want are well above what most could offer. That young player from Chelsea I could just afford to get when I got in the Championship and is only Championship quality not to mention he has been without a club for 8 months so would be willing to join more clubs. Without going through the 2 pages to find another example. Based on that no one would benefit as they would not be able to sign him. IRL players do find themselves playing for lower league sides before making there way to top leagues or even playing for there national team. S.I need to say if it's a feature or a bug. Either way based on just that player it would not affect anything/anyone.
People could use editors and other ways to "cheat" but they know themselves and would not enjoy it as only cheating themselves.
For info about the 'offer contract' bug/exploit/feature: http://community.sigames.com/showthr...a-Scout-screen.
Exactly. I could show you some screenshots of some players who wont even consider talking to me without this, but if you want an idea look at the goalkeeper I posted above. He's hardly a world-beater is he? Given that he was without a club before, it seems odd if he doesnt discuss terms with a club like mine....the last club he was at were Lewes, whose reputation is about the same as mine. And his rating there was 6.79. Tell me thats a player who shouldnt be possible to sign for a club in my position? His wages are still pretty high for a BSN club....
I wonder if I can beat GOM to be the first person to rage delete my save.
So it's a bug and will get fixed likely by next week but I can't see anyone in this challenge gaining in a big way by using it. S.I could of said it's feature of the scout making contact and the player knowing the club is interested so shows his demands. But I guess that would only work in this challenge as other teams have higher wage budgets at our levels.
Re the people struggling for finances. Have you tried organising a preseason friendly league? I've done that both seasons I've played so far and its meant I've had enough cash to last the season. I had a £7k p/w budget in the BSP which I didn't get anywhere near (had a fair few NC players which helped).
Just finished off my 2nd season late last night, update to follow when I'm back home later.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but people have been telling me since I first started that the way to get good players is to find players released from Premiership clubs.....

Life After High School: Top 10 Alternatives to Collegeby Lindsay Hutton
Attending college after high school isn't for everyone. Some teens choose to take a year or two off before continuing their education, while others jump right into the workforce. If your teen is looking to explore his options, check out these alternatives and help him make a decision that is right for him.
1 of 11
Get a Job
The responsibility of holding down a full-time job is a good way for your high school grad to transition into adulthood, not to mention it's a financial necessity. However, your teen will want to gear her job search towards a job that offers career growth, as opposed to a job that normally hires teen workers on a temporary basis.
In addition, she should look in an industry that interests her and a company for which she can see herself working in the future, not just for the time-being. The opportunity to build a career off an entry-level job is there, if she is willing to work for it and stick it out.

Both the baseball and softball teams from Pratt Community College split their doubleheaders toward the end of this week.
The baseball team beat Northern Oklahoma-Enid 7-1 in the opener at Stanion Field on Wednesday before falling 10-8 in the nightcap.
The Beavers are currently 12-13 on the year, 7-9 in the Jayhawk Conference. They will travel to take on Kansas Wesleyan next Wednesday April 3.
The softball team played a couple of tight contests with Cloud County Thursday at Angood Field. In the opener, Pratt lost a heartbreaker 10-7 in 11 innings. The nightcap saw PCC post a tight 10-9 victory. The Lady Beavers are now at 13-19 (8-10 in the conference.) Brown Mackie is in town next Tuesday.

STEUBENVILLE - The chairman of the City Council finance committee said Tuesday night he is not in favor of a performance audit of city operations.
Sixth Ward Councilman David Lalich made his comments following a three-hour council meeting that included an hour-long presentation by Jim Pyers of the state auditor's office.
"As finance committee chairman I am not in favor of bringing outside concerns into the city to do work that we can do ourselves," Lalich said.

AUDITORS IN TOWN — Two representatives from the state auditor's office met with Steubenville Council Tuesday night to discuss a possible performance audit of city operations. Jim Pyers, left, of the state auditor's office chatted with City Manager Cathy Davison after the hour-long presentation. - Dave Gossett
"The auditors indicated tonight this performance audit could cost up to $80,000. We know what our financial issues are and we just have to make decisions ourselves instead of paying someone $80,000. Our City Manager Cathy Davison invited the auditors to come here tonight to make a presentation, but I am not in favor of the extra expense," stated Lalich.
The other two members of the finance committee also expressed some concerns about the price of the performance audit and how long it would take to complete.
Davison said Tuesday night she will continue working with council, department heads and the city unions, "to make additional personnel cuts."
"As of this point we anticipate a carryover of $400,000 into 2013. We have reached that level by working more efficiently and by clearing purchase orders from our books. But as of now we are projecting a $636,000 general fund deficit for 2013 that we need to eliminate. The performance audit would give us suggestions on how we can operate more efficiently moving forward. We will finish this year with a balanced budget, but we are facing a general fund deficit next year and need to plan for the future of our community" Davison said.
The presentation by Pyers included a slideshow detailing how his office "will drive the costs as low as we can get them. We drive down costs but we are also practical. We also do different types of performance assessments."
"We gather and review background data and we collect client and peer data. We then report on our findings and make recommendations. When we do a performance audit no one is surprised by the final report because we provide you with status reports," noted Pyers.
"When we do a performance audit we look at staffing by department and compensation as well as collective bargaining agreements in place. And we determine if you have policies in place to manage your government," Pyers added.
"We are here to help the citizens and make recommendations. It is then up o the city to carry out the recommendations or not carry them out. Ultimately it is the council's decision. We can make recommendations but we can't implement them. We don't guarantee savings but we usually see anywhere from a 4-1 to a 20-1 savings if our recommendations are implemented," Pyers said.
"Why should we pay $80,000 for the state auditor's office to help us. Isn't that your job? The funding for this study would come from the city while the governor has cut our local government funding. This council is getting punished on a daily basis for what is happening to our city. Maybe you should tell your boss to do a little to help us and not charge us," said 2nd Ward Councilman Rick Perkins.
Pyers said if the city agrees to a performance audit it wouldn't start for approximately five to six months and takes six to eight months to complete.
"So we would receive your recommendations at the end of 2013 or early 2014 and we are already looking at a projected general fund deficit in 2013," said 3rd Ward Councilman Greg Metcalf.
Pyers said the city could be billed monthly for the performance audit or participate in a program that delays the billing until savings are realized from the study.

International Outreach
Indiana University's international outreach efforts date back to the tenure of Herman B Wells, the university's 11th president and first university chancellor. Today, Indiana University offers courses in more than 70 world languages. It is also home to nine Title VI Area Studies Centers that educate students in geopolitical and transnational trends in regions of strategic national importance. Nearly 3,000 IU students study abroad each year, and more than 6,500 international students from 130 nations study here.
International study is of vital importance in preparing students for the realities of a global marketplace of goods and ideas. To support global engagement, beginning in the 2010-2011 academic year, the university will expand its general education requirements for undergraduates to include even stronger language, cultural, and study-abroad components.
On the research front, IU boasts productive relationships with leading universities in Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and Russia. In partnership with Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, the university participates in annual research symposia on technology transfer, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
IU's global interests go beyond research and education, however. From helping to rebuild democratic institutions in Afghanistan to fighting AIDS in Kenya, Indiana University is deeply engaged in projects that have humanitarian importance for every nation.

|If I recall correctly, it took me four attempts in spring/summer 1993 before I finally summitted via the east face in dry, late season conditions. I then climbed the east face again in early June 1996 in spring conditions and again in August 1996. The east face is a great Teton climb.

|We summited Mt. Moran the day prior and we had a failed attempt in the spring on Teewinot so we got in a second summit during our 3 day trip.

|Soloed the peak. I didn't have any exposure difficulties, but slowed myself down because I couldn't make up my mind between rock/snow, although either one didn't matter. The ranger I secured my camping permit from was climbing the route as I descended. He probably wanted to climb the peak anyways, but knowing I was the only climber up there on my own may have partly led him to the peak. I've got to say, the Teton rangers really seem a knowledgeable and concerned bunch. They have their act together.

|Easy soloing up and down the East face. A strong mind will help you overcome the exposure, not a climb for persons afraid of heights, however easy... It helped our route finding that I'd been there in 2006. 9 hours round trip, going semi-slow on the descent.

|A very different (and safer) climb than my 1982 ascent. Lots of route choices on this face and ours, apparently not the easiest, had one low 5th class pitch and one 80' rappel, all with pleasant, solid rock. The world's fattest and friendliest marmot lives at the summit.

|With Margaret Pratt. This was the scene of a near-death experience. Arriving from sea level without acclimatizing, I was unsteady and took a surprise slip at the top of a snow couloir while descending at dusk. Since I had just belayed my inexperienced partner down, I had a rope on, but with a full runout. The fall line took me onto a vertical drop to horrendous rock terrain before I could arrest. Just before the first life-changing or ending impact, the rope stopped me: it had wrapped around and dug into a 6" edge of a suncup high above to provide some unexpected natural pro, made of nothing but snow!
A great peak, but be careful.

forgive me if this question doesnt fit the purpose of this stackexchange site, Some of you probably have experience with logo design, I'd like to ask a question,
I currently have a client that owns a website that lets marrying couples arrange their weddings in, find suppliers such as wedding dress designers or wedding halls / gardens.
I've never had such a hard time designing a logo before, His website is named "Marrying", not in english though.
My main problem here is that I literally can't find any creative idea other than the generic ones like Rings,hearts, love birds, etc'.
Please, I'd really be grateful to get some refreshing tips or something like that.
So yea I'd love to see your ideas and learn how to think out of the box, even when I have such a hard time.

Taco Bell Unveils a Sneak Peek of Its Super Bowl Spot [1]
Read More About
Taco Bell is showing the world what it truly means to "Live Mas" as it unveils a 60-second online teaser video in anticipation of its 60-second brand Super Bowl commercial.
The "Live Mas" brand commercial is titled "Viva Young" and is scheduled to debut during the third quarter of the game broadcasted February 3, 2013, on the CBS Television Network.
In the spot, main character, 87-year-old Bernie Goldblatt, along with his friends, will take viewers on an unforgettable night depicting that anyone at any age can "Live Mas."
The commercial will be set to the music of Taco Bell Feed the Beat artist and six-time Grammy Award nominee fun.'s "We Are Young," which will be sung in Spanish.
"Our hope is that our consumers will see themselves in this ad. They tell us that Taco Bell is about memories and experiences, and things they like to share with their friends," says Brian Niccol, chief marketing & innovation officer, Taco Bell Corp. "We believe that advertising on the world biggest stage, the Super Bowl, was the ideal way to share these experiences with our fans, while also providing further context into the mindset of Taco Bell and what it means to 'Live Mas.'"
Taco Bell fans and consumers can also find out more about "Goldblatt" through the online teaser that is being released on the brand's YouTube channel, entitled "Grandpa Goes Wild." The teaser shows Goldblatt sneaking his suped-up motorized scooter into a football stadium to let loose, do some trick—like making "donuts" on the field, knocking over water coolers and yardage signs, and a tackling dummy, all while escaping from security.
The teaser gives consumers a deeper look into the "Live Mas" personality of the Taco Bell's Super Bowl spot's main character.
The Super Bowl XLVII spot and campaign's online teaser are being created by Deutsch LA, which has recently joined Taco Bell's agency roster, along with lead agency Draftfcb. The last time Taco Bell advertised during the Super Bowl was during the 2010 game and the ad supported the brand's $5 Big Box.

Sporadic Gig Syndrome
Wanna see me and others play weird/strange/cool/lovely bass music LIVE?
I have a gig coming up.
No shit.
Me - Jeff "How come I never get to see him play live" Schmidt. :)
Its a house concert in the San Jose area on Jan 23rd around 7:30pm - the Nerd-Farm Solo Bass Hootenanny! where I'll be joining Steve Lawson & Lobelia and Gustaf Fjelstrom. It's a casual but cool affair.
SEATING IS LIMITED - RESERVE your seat at this website.
I haven't played a proper show in a few months. This means I've forgotten how to play many of my tunes.
It may come as a shock - but I actually don't sit around playing my own music much.
So if I'm not gigging - I'm not playing the tunes. If I'm not playing the tunes for a few months - I forget how to play them.
They are, if I do say so - pretty frakking hard for me to play. I can't just "wing it". Wish I could.
In 07 I was playing gigs with such regularity that keeping my material in shape was easy.
But last year was reeeeeeeeealy mellow on solo bass gigs for me. Mostly by choice - but still.
So now, when someone asks me if I'm into doing a solo gig - all I can think about is the time and effort needed to bone up on my own music. Add a certain amount of laziness on my part and you start getting the idea.
That's Sporadic Gig Syndrome.
You should've seen me - hitting Youtube - watching my own stupid videos trying to figure out how I played some of that stuff. I'm such a tard.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: vote for your fav in the comments!
A.) lower my standards - don't practice & wing it!
B.) gig more. duh.
C.) write simpler music I can play without much prep.
vote now.
Anyway - it seems I'm fated to create music I'll need to incessantly practice. My cross to bare. Weep for me.
My feeling right now is that I'm probably not going to play much Outre material for this engagement. We'll see.
The idea of playing some of my newest musical sketches is far more exciting than spending hours re-learing/practicing older material.
I think I can safely say I have no "hits" that I'll need to play to "please the crowd" - so this shouldn't be a problem. :) If you plan on attending - and this is a problem - speak now cuz I'll have to work on it if you want to hear something. Otherwise I'm going rouge bitches! :)
Does anyone else have Sporadic Gig Syndrome?
Does anyone else write music they forget how to play?
Does anyone want to help me get - ya know - Frequent Gig Syndrome?
Drop a comment.

More Greeley
I can't say I was a particular friend or foe of Andrew Greeley, but his death last week made me sit down and think about him. He was a man apart, yet he reminds me of the Chicago Catholic Church in which I grew up. Here is what I wrote:
Andrew Greeley's death at 85 in Chicago on May 29, came more than four years after he suffered a serious brain injury. In November 2008, traveling to a train station after speaking at a suburban parish, his coat was caught in the door of the departing taxi and he was pulled to the ground. Family and friends rallied to his care and from time to time photos or short videos showed him at celebratory events, but the accident, in effect, cut short his lively and provocative contributions to the U.S. Catholic church.
He was a prolific scholar, writer, journalist, speaker, and thorn in the side of many, including the U.S. bishops. A theologian and sociologist, he had degrees from St. Mary of the Lake Seminary and University of Chicago, the yin and yang of Chicago educational institutions. Greeley was the author of data-rich studies extolling the value of Catholic schools (The Education of Catholic Americans) and the vitality of U.S. Catholicism (The Catholic Imagination) as well as novels, featuring a priest-detective, Blackie Ryan. Critics and many of his fellow intellectuals disdained the novels, but they were wildly popular among Americans, both Catholics and others, often at the top of best-seller lists.
Though he was vocal on most issues that mattered to U.S. Catholics, he did not fit neatly into any single group; in many ways he was his own group. He annoyed Catholic liberals by defending priestly celibacy and opposing abortion. He annoyed Catholic conservatives with his criticism of the church's teaching on contraception, his criticism of the bishops, and his sexually tinged novels. He criticized secular liberals for their anti-Catholicism, though it's doubtful that this annoyed them. Long before the secular media took up the clerical sex abuse scandal, Greeley wrote and warned the bishops that they were foolish to ignore the problem and the families who came with complaints. His advice was prescient.
For all of his frank talk and critical views, Greely did not take kindly to criticism himself and wrangled with those who questioned his data on Catholic schools and his assessment of Catholics' loyalty to the church. I was sometimes the object of Greeley's pointed pen. In one of his columns, he called me a "vulgar Marxist"). And though I wrote a vociferous rejoinder to his unseemly and (inaccurate) attack, I came to prize the phrase, and enjoyed bragging about it, especially to real Marxists. In his later years, he made peace with many of his critics, yet he never lost the impulse to provoke and annoy.
Though in recent decades, he had come to seem one-of-a-kind, he was part of a large coterie of U.S. priests trained in the mid-twentieth century, especially in Chicago, who were active in an array of lay-oriented organizations and enterprises. It could be said of them, as of Greeley, that they were true allies of the laity. The late Monsignor Daniel Cantwell and Monsignor Jack Egan were among this breed toiling in various community, labor, housing, and civil rights organizations bringing the imprimatur and wisdom of the Church to a wide variety of civic and social justice endeavors. Greeley stood out because of his scholarship, his willingness to vigorously criticize the hierarchy, and the wealth he accumulated from his best-selling novels. He is said to have supported many important causes with this money, especially inner-city Chicago Catholic schools. In another act of provocation, and perhaps payback, he endowed a chair in American Catholic Studies at the University of Chicago where he had been denied tenure.
The advent of John Paul II priests and bishops in the U.S. Catholic Church makes real the often-repeated eulogy, "We will not see his like soon again." In a brief note, the editors of the New York Times, with which he sometimes quarreled, captured what he was and what will be sorely missed, "Andrew Greeley, Defender of the Faithful."

Margaret - excellent. You don't come across as either vulgar or a Marxist, so maybe you should just chalk it up to a bad day on his part :-)
You might add George Higgins to your list of great Chicago priests. I'm sure you can name others, too, whom I haven't heard of.
There are still priests who are out there trying to work with people and effect social change. For the generation of priests after Greeley, a lot of that work is done on behalf of pro-life causes; the advent of abortion as a major issue probably is one of the differentiators between those generations of priests. And there are priests who are working on behalf of the poor, e.g. Msgr Boland in Chicago who runs Catholic Charities.
As I look around, the work with the poor probably is being done more by religious sisters, deacons and priests in religious orders (and, more than all of that combined, by the laity) more so than diocesan priests. I just think that diocesan priests are needed in parishes now. But I have met priests who enroll in places like University of Chicago or Northwestern to study something other than theology or canon law.
JP: you're right about Msgr. Higgins...though for most of my acquaintance with him, he was in DC and not Chicago. I have always thought he kept the bishops at the conference pretty well informed and connected to the issues that they needed to pay attention to. Higgins too is sorely missed and his like we have not seen at the Bishops' Conference since Bryan Hehir went off to Boston. Alas!
As part of that liberal gnereation that read and sometimes argued with many of the Greeley "theo-ecclesial- politica"l corpus (and admittedly a few novels for fun!!!), despite differences, I was pleased with his last work on Iraq for its outrage.
I thoroughly believe in his being freed for the kingdom, but have missed his arguments and commentary and fear that much of the last 20 years of priests has no exposure or appreciation for such a mind and approach. Who among a younger generation has the breadth, freedom of thought, creative expression, and faithful gadfly abilities...? I can't think of anyone...
In our diocese, it's been overa generation since anyone was sent away forfurther stdies except in canon law..."... the people will perish."
Patty and Pat Crowley weren't priests .... but they should have been.
I have quoted her long and often ....
--- During the 1966 Papal Birth Control Commission, at which Chicago Catholics and co-directors of the Christian Family Movement Patty Crowley & her husband Pat were members, a heated discussion about how the church could save face if it were to allow couples to decide how to limit offspring, Marcelino Zalba, a Spanish Jesuit member of the commission, asked, "What then with the millions we have sent to hell" if the rules are relaxed?
Patty immediately responded in what became perhaps her most memorable quote. "Fr. Zalba," she said, "do you really believe God has carried out all your orders?" ---
God bless pushy wimmin!
Martin Marty on Greeley:
David Pasinski's observation reminds us that mid-century the Catholic Church had a surfeit of priests and sisters. One of the outcomes was the chance to send some of them for training that was off the beaten path. Greeley's studies at the U of Chgo was one example. The Sister Formation Movement was another. The shrinking pool of nuns and priests has curtailed that practice. Of course, lay men and women have moved in to place, but I wonder if it's quite the same.
Jim, thank you for reminiscing. That quote made my day.
And not to be overlooked among the Chicago greats, Monsignor Reynold Hillenbrand (1904-1979), rector of Mundelein Seminary from 1936 to 1944. A pioneer in the US liturgical movement, social justice causes, race relations, Monsignor Hillenbrand was an important mentor to George Higgins and John Egan as well as many other Chicago priests of that generation.
One of my great heroes, Father Godfrey Diekmann, OSB, wrote of Hillenbrand in 1979:
"In any historical overview of the Catholic Church in the United States in this century, Monsignor Hillenbrand would certainly have to be numbered among the top dozen who influenced its apostolic developments. In fact, I cannot think of more than three or four others who could rank with him in this respect. He inspired generations of priests and laity with his vision of the social gospel rooted in the community-formative dynamic of the Mass."
Not to sound like a broken record, but there was a different set of American bishops in the mid-century.
Can you imagine what Vatican II would have produced if the majority of the bishops were Loris and Cordeleones and Chaputs? Nothing would have changed. Nothing.
Monsignor Hillenbrand: The first "reformed" Easter vigil liturgy I participated in was at his church, Sacred Heart in Hubbard Woods, Illinois. This was before the council so I am always a bit flumoxed about what happened before and after with the Easter liturgy. The most vivid memory I have is his deep voice and the vigil readings in the darkened church (no lights on!). He was according to my friends who worked with him in YCS and YCW a stern disciplinarian, not much to their liking. He was famous for being the rector at S. Mary of the Lake in Mundelein who turned out all of those fabulous priests.
Margaret Steinfels is certainly correct about the surfeit of clergy and religious that was part of the reason why bishops and religious superiors felt more free to release them for study, but I think the larger reasons are the many others that are alluded to here and in various other postings about the spirit of the hierarchy, the notions of clerical/religious leadership, and a less fearful engagement with academia-- before bioethics revolution, embracings of post-modernism, and laws about could speak at graduations, etc.
On the pastoral level, there was the Clinical Pastoral Education experience that arose out of the Protestant tradition and benefitted myself and other seminarians of that era, but now is rejected in many dioceses, I'm told, in favor of the more parochial experiences with defined clerical roles, less introspection, less intellectual stimulus, and much less freedom of expression in groups, etc.
Commonweal had a pair of articles about Msgr Hillenbrand in its March 10, 2000 issue. I remember reading them - the one by Barry Hillenbrand about "my uncle Reynie" was particularly interesting - but the articles are behind a premium archive paywall right now, and I've been having issues with my digital subscription so am not able to include the URLs here. However, it appears that one Margaret O'Brien Steinfels was the magazine's editor at that time and she may have more information :-)
I was a graduate student in the sociology department at the University of Chicago when Fr. Greeley lost his tenure battle there. I never studied with him but I would run into him from time to time and he would always remind me that I had the same name as a legendary Chicago priest. And then he would repeat a version of an "alley in Chicago" anecdote:
When it was Monsignor Molloy's turn at the podium it was clear to all how happy he was to be home. "I have seen the great boulevards of the world," he told friends gathered in his church basement. "The boulevards of Rome. The boulevards of Paris. The boulevards of Rio de Janeiro. The boulevards of Tokyo. They are all grand." His voice had risen dramatically. His audience was in his hands where he liked to have them. He paused only briefly before he acknowledged his devotion to his native city. "But I would rather have an alley in Chicago than any one of them."
When I see my doctor once a year he once again tells me about a book that he's been reading which he thinks I would enjoy. He's mentioned the same book for the past six or seven years - I hope he finishes some year and is able to move on to another book.
That was the way with Fr. Greeley. Before I could say "Hello," he began telling me again about how much Monsignor Patrick Molloy loved Chicago. It was obvious to all that he shared that love. I even wonder whether given a choice he would prefer to have been a Protestant Chicagoan rather than a Catholic New Yorker. New Yorkers were not popular among Chicago intellectuals. They were interested in fashion and publicity rather than in the more profound truths that Chicago pursued, so it was believed. Of course in the end Fr. Greeley would never abandon Catholicism but I do think he would find it difficult to renounce the religion of "Chicagoism." If he was sure that you shared his love for Chicago or his other interests, he would be loyal. And his students, at least the ones I knew, praised his loyalty and generosity.
Two of my mentors were his prime opponents during the tenure disputes (there were many such disputes at the time). Then, as later, Fr. Greeley too often suspected others as being guilty of anti-Catholicism unless proven otherwise. He probably regarded someone like Bill Donohue as a rank amateur in detecting the virus.
Ironically, Greeley's chief nemesis at the university, Edward Shils, in his last years frequented Castelgandolfo conferences at the invitation of Pope John Paul II. Shils, imho, was the greatest unknown social thinker of his generation. If someone of lesser stature had led the opposition Fr. Greeley probably would have won his battle of the Midway.
Everyone seemed to know that Greeley was refused tenure at his alma mater, but no one ever seemed to have a concise view of "why?" The assumption that it was anti-Catholicism doesn't quite fit with the number of Catholics who were students and faculty. The cardinals of Chicago never made him a pastor either. Do we discern here that those in authority saw his provocations something to be avoided? Does anyone know.
As for the Molloy story, i.e., Msgr. Molloy; it is also told in Margery Frisbe's biography of Msgr. John Egan; in fact, the title of the book is An Alley in Chicago. Alleys were a distinctive part of Chicago's geography and child-rearing arenas (we played in them). So a Msgr. who extolled them would have people's attention; he knew whereof he spoke.
JP: Sorry I can't get at the archive either. I think the redesign has muddled things a bit. Perhaps they will get straigthened out in due time.
Some memories of Greeley from Fr. Robert Barron here. Barron's estimate of Greeley: "a conservative Catholic of the golden age of American Catholicism."
Fr. Greeley vs. the U of C, in his own words:
"I was convinced then, and am convinced now, that the reason for the opposition had nothing to do with the quality or quantity of my work but with the fact that I was a Catholic priest. I accuse the responsible people of anti-Catholic bigotry, and I accuse the university administration of cowardly caving in to such bigotry. Moreover, I accuse myself of gross stupidity for getting into the conflict in the first place."
Bonus controversy, in the same article (p. 138):
"I think I have finally won the argument, though Commonweal , a Catholic magazine and one of my most bitter enemies, never really had the grace to admit I was right and they were wrong . . ."
It might be a therapeutic notion to realize that the vast majority of ordinary Catholics hardly knew about Greeley. In fact most of them do not know about America, Commonweal or the National Register. It is a humbling thought for Catholic intellectuals and universities that the impact on the ordinary Catholic is not great. This is why history is so unreliable. It is only the literate and the victors who write it. Many people you meet nod to you when you mention all these ideas of liturgy and Vatican II and the names who go with them. They are just being polite not letting us know that we might be more pompous than we realize..
To digress there is one thought in one of Andrew's fictional works (I think it was (Star Bright! 1997), where it is declared that the best love making was made on Christmas. I never tried it. At least not consciously. This was truly an uplifting work. Those who know the story better can correct me on the details.
Sinatra said that if you really wanted to know him you had to look at his music. Greeley said the same about his novels. Catholic imagination indeed! This is one of the reasons many of us have a glow when talking or reminiscing about him. The Angels have to give this guy a huge hello! Bless you Andrew.
Practically speaking, your religion is the story you tell about your life.
Andrew Greeley
Patrick, you're so good at the Internet.
Greeley got over it.
I found out about Greeley in a theology class here in LA by my professor who studied at UChicago as it is now known. I've always known it as U of C. Well, this prof. told us how this priest endowed a chair at the Divinity School in spite of adverse treatment as a statement of protest. I was intrigued and felt proud to be a Chicagoan! Now even more so. He was a bundle of contradictions, but are not all of us Chi-towners, City of the Big Shoulders,citified and cultured Mid-westerners who are grounded in practicality, but romantics to the core? No one could pin him down, he was an independent thinker and made us think. Good for him, most of us don't do it enough. And he did it in the Church he loved. We must do the same now, as homage!
On more than one occasion I had lunch with Andrew Greeley. What surprised me most about him was how soft spoken he was (almost to the point of reticience) when in a small setting when i expected him to be as outspoken and pugnacious as he was in print. We kept in touch mainly by letter and then by email along with a regular cascade of books, articles, and news letters he would send out. I suspect I was one of the many contacts he maintained over the decades but I valued the relatinship greatly. He as a great man and a worthy priest. May God give him etrnal rest.
At points in his pugnacious career, Greeley would refer to the "Steinfelses of this world,"--there are millions of them causing trouble everywhere!
But in my time at Commonweal, 1988-2003, I don't recall that he was our enemy. I think he invited me/us to lunch at the venerable Russian Tea Room. And at Fordham, where he praticipated in a forum on anti-Catholicism, he was a perfect lamb.
Greeley would refer to the "Steinfelses of this world,"
A badge of honor! Plus, it instructs the rest of us what the plural of "Steinfels" is.

So sorry, my finger stumbled on the last comment as I clicked "Save", and so it very quickly saved duplicate comments. The old site, which would say something like, "Looks like you already posted that!" was helpful.
I loved Fr. Greely's novels. They were fun. I read o few of his more scholarly works, and always found them readable, something I wouldn't say about most sociological tracts! His novels were pretty regular fare in my large Irish Catholic family, read almost with a sense of pride which I can't quite explain though perhaps he could. My father enjoyed them and often used examples from the good Bishop Blackie to make some point or other. My mother, on the other hand. My father's sister, my Aunt Ann thought they were scandalous and one day was railing against yet another "racy novel by that priest!" to which my mother responded, "I'm not sure its scandalous, Ann, but he must have heard some pretty intersting confessions!'
"I found out about Greeley in a theology class here in LA by my professor who studied at UChicago as it is now known. I've always known it as U of C.
But Greeley made the point many times in many books that it's known simply as The University.
"Greeley got over it."
Maybe not. He seemed to have a (typically) Irish way of remembering.
I think the educational point made above about the clergy applies to the laity also. I just celebrated the 50th anniversary of my college graduation from Villa Madonna College Covington Ky. I majored in physics. But if you look at the transcript of my credits, you will notice not only 2 yrs of liberal arts courses, but also 8 theology and 6 philosophy courses - mandatory. By the time my brother graduated 4 yrs later w/the same major, the requirements had changed drastically. The th/ph requirements cut to decrease the total hrs needed and to add other libarts courses.
Somewhere in the middle of the last century, the idea of a broad education including grounding in the faith tradition was strong and used to shape young people. That was somehow lost in the succeeding decades.
In the book review of "Yellow Birds" in cm2013May17 is the quote "small lives,populated by a longing for something more substantial than dirt roads and small dreams." Having lived a small life, I find joy in remembering those who were on the dirt roads (called alleys in some places) and shared small dreams.
The best testament to anyone, but especially a Christian, is to remember a sacred text of civil origin "It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced." We do in fact believe that "that [this] dead shall not have died in vain." We should be "dedicated to the great task remaining before us" which AG began, bringing about the kingdom of God with whatever God has given us as tools.
Thanks Mr. Kuebbing. Good point about Catholic liberal arts education half century ago. I graduated from Loyola Chicago with eight courses in philosophy and eight in theology. The theology was not great, but I've been living and thinking on the philosophy courses ever since. Back then, many students saw these required courses as a waste of time and money (though it wasn't a lot of money). Students today are paying a lot more for a lot less, IMHO.
This reminds me that Greeley had a group of students he met with called the Young Christian Eggheads, counterposed to the Young Christian Students. Don't know exactly what they did, we, of course, were bent on changing the world. Not sure that worked out as we hoped.
"Heaven a homecoming for Andrew Greeley," by Eugene Cullen Kennedy
Margaret - when I graduated from Loyola Chicago, maybe a couple of decades aftery you, it was three and three. When we toured Loyola with one of my children a couple of years ago, it was two and two.
Even so, I would estimate that a third to half my credit hours were for the so-called "core curriculum" and were unrelated to my major, and were primarily liberal arts and sciences. Another third were required courses in the school I was in (Business - I had an Economics concentration) but not really part of my major. The remainder were Economics courses. it was a fine, broad education. And nearly everyone at Loyola was on some sort of professional track - nursing or education or pre-law or pre-med or some such. The possibility for a narrow and less fertile education was certainly there, but for that core curriculum.
Real "core curriculums" have gone the way of the dodo bird. There were business majors in my day, and pre-med (who were in effect science majors), but everyone had to take a raft of history, English, and social sciences (sociology, ps, psych) along with the philosophy and theology. There wasn't room for electives. The expense of college and the requirement of a good job to pay off the loans has driven students into vocational training. I had the benefit, and perhaps you too, of tuition that was so reasonable, I could earn it myself with part-time jobs, and I lived at home (free room and board).
Ms. S. -
Your analysis of why liberal arts were a strong part of the old curricula is spot on. But, as you note, times have changed. So what do we need now?
When I was in college, not very long before you, I gather, college professors were typically paid less than mechanics. That had to stop because if that injustice were that to continue only the dumb kids would go into university teaching.
So now we have to decide whether we'll commit a larger part of our treasure to a system like our old university system or commit a smaller portion to vocational training.
OR -- why not provide two systems -- one for old fashioned arts-and-sciences educations of the whole person and one for vocational training.
OR -- why not provide three systems (a la the Hutchins model) -- one purely vocational, one a two-year arts and sciences basic education, and one a group of professional schools which would require BA's or BS's to enter.
I think the third is by far the best way to go.

A Perfect Pair
There's a reason why Childhelp's annual luncheon at the Newport Beach Marriott was a sold-out affair—the annual event paired an unforgettable runway show (from South Coast Plaza retailers, no less) with the chance to support the nonprofit's work to treat and end abuse. Yes, it was all O.C.'s well-heeled set needed to hear before RSVP'ing for the day, which included opportunity drawings, gourmet cuisine and an award ceremony honoring Anaheim White House owner Bruno Serato. Oh, and about those fashions: Hip looks from designers like Carolina Herrera and Missoni wowed Patti Edwards, chairwomen Pam Pharris and Michelle Langston, and the rest of the crowd—as did the news that it all drew in more than $200,000. Chic! –Photos by Ann Chatillon

User interaction is not allowed
Good day,
For an application built on Sencha Touch 2.1.0, when doing
sencha app build native
[ERR] failed running native packager [ERR] /Users/gaetan/Dvp/mbanking/build/mBankingApp/native//mBanking.app: User interaction is not allowed. The application was successfully packaged Failed to execute system command while signing application with error 256 Failed to package application
Is there anything I can do to build my app from a remote ssh session? Or should I really have a interactive UI to build the application ? This would be a problem to automate our builds...
Thanks for your help!
27 Jan 2013 9:08 AM #2
Exception raised in StBuildRunner()
I dig a little bit more in the code and found out the exception is raised at the following line of ./plugins/touch/current/app-build.js (within Sencha Cmd):
var stbuildRunner = new StBuildRunner(), args = ['package', resolvePath(src, 'packager.temp.json')], stbuildOut = stbuildRunner.run(args), exitCode = stbuildOut.getExitCode(), stdout = stbuildOut.getOutput();
Is there any chance to get a quick feedback about this? Will remote build (through ssh ever be supported ?

5 Superpowers You Didn't Know Your Body Was Hiding From You
Those motivational speakers are right: You are capable of amazing things. You wouldn't know it, because 99 percent of the time your body or brain hides these superpowers from you.
Sure, they say there's a good reason, but we're not sure we're buying it. Dammit, we want our...
Note: Well, it seems like our obsession with superhero movies has finally started to pay off in the real world: Science has developed a real-life Iron Man suit to make sure our soldiers have everything they need to develop a crippling alcohol addiction and start making really obvious mistakes. Which is funny because, as this Cracked Classic shows, we all have superpowers hidden in our brains. Hey, Science: Unlock these powers too, and we can finally find out, once and for all, whether Captain America would beat Iron Man in a fight in real life. -Cracked
#5. Super Strength
You may have heard urban legends about "the lady who was able to lift a whole car in an emergency" but, believe it or not, it's not just a legend. They're talking about Angela Cavallo, whose son was working on the suspension of a 1964 Impala, when the car slipped off of the jack and trapped him in the wheel well.
Angela ran out to find her unconscious son pinned under the car. Rather than saying something passive agressive about how she "told him to get that thing out of her garage," she yelled for a neighbor to go get help, and when help wasn't coming fast enough for her liking, proceeded to lift the fucking car off her son with her bare fucking hands.
Artist's rendering.
OK, maybe she didn't lift the thing over her head like She-Hulk, just the few inches it took to get it off her son for the several minutes he needed to drag his ass to safety. But that's no small feat considering that the vehicle weighed at least 3,340 pounds. Go out to your driveway and try it (The Cracked Legal Department asks that your recreation leave out the unconscious loved-one trapped in the wheel well).
Then you've got guys like Sinjin Eberle, who was rock climbing in New Mexico when a 600-pound boulder came lose, smashed into him (crushing his hands in the process) and started pushing him, Wile E. Coyote-style, toward a 150-foot drop and a splattery death. Again the "shit hitting fan" adrenaline mode kicked in and the man tossed the boulder aside, crushed hands and all.
"Next time I get panic muscles, I'm tossing boulders with my dick."
Why Can't We Do This All of the Time?
So the evidence suggests that our actual muscle fibers physically have the ability to let us punch through a wall like the Terminator if they really really want to, but our brain arbitrarily limits us. Why? One problem is the tendons and other tissue that hold you together aren't made to take that kind of abuse. It's the same logic that makes steroid users more prone to injuries--the support structures can't keep up with their juiced muscles.
Also, when you're in that "lift the boulder or die" mode, the body gets that strength by stopping other bodily functions like digestion and immune response. It's the sort of thing that is only awesome for a few minutes at a time.
Still, we're kind of pissed that we can't seem to just summon the super strength at will. Wouldn't that mugger have been surprised if you had thrown him across the street into a plate glass window? But we suppose if science found a way, the muggers would know how to do it, too. Man, that would make for some awesome fights though.

Fit was perfect, love the color and peep toe. It goes with everything. It's smart and classy.
Great colour, true to size, very comfortable
Love the style. Sadly, it did not go well with my dress, really needed the blue. Thinking about ordering the Mushroom color. Not sure yet. Was true to size. I do love SW shoes.
I rarely wear heels and have very wide feet so I'm thrilled to report that these shoes look and feel terrific. They're shinier than I expected but they'll work beautifully with my Mother-of-the-Bride dress in December. Thank you SO much for accommodating my difficult feet (and actually making them look glamorous)!
The styling of this shoe is perfect - there just isn't a prettier shoe line available to flatter the foot and leg - long pants or short skirts!
Comfort and beauty combined!
The shoe is beautiful. It fits ..however I have not worn them out yet.
Comfortable... gorgeous... high fashion shoes...I have bought a lot of great shoes in my lifetime, but these are the sweetest shoes I have ever seen. I am totally infatuated with them!! I am wearing them to my daughter's wedding in NYC this fall. So classy...
So very sorry..I shall be returning the shoe! It is the very shoe I've tried so very hard to find. To my disappointment, it does not fit tightly enough around the heel, leaving an unsightly gap. I[ve always loved Stuart Weitzman shoes, and would love to have kept this pair!!Helen Rayon

FOLLANSBEE - Follansbee City Council on Monday agreed to provide $25,000 for this year's Community Days festival and was asked to consider projects for which state funding may be sought.
Fifth Ward Councilman Tom Ludewig, who co-chairs the Community Days committee with Nina Meca, said the group decided to lower its request from $30,000 approved by council last year in light of the current economy.
The city's allocation accounts for about half of the committee's budget for entertainment, with the other half to be sought through private contributions.
Council also approved the following 10 musical acts for the festival, which will be held July 10-12 at the Follansbee Community House parking lot by Follansbee Park.
The most famous of the 10 is the Pittsburgh doo wop group, The Marcels, whose 1960s hits include "Blue Moon," "Heartaches" and "Melancholy Baby." The others are: Refugee, Stevie Breen, The Joseph Sisters, the Big Band Sound of Vince Villanova, Joel Smith, The Driftin' Hoopie Experience, Shout: Legends of Soul, Legend and Rag Doll, a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons tribute band.
Ludewig said dates and times for the various acts are being finalized.
He noted Don Layburn, entertainment chairman for the committee, begins booking groups for the festival early each year.
Ludewig said there also will be performances by local dance studios and zumba led by Cindy Petri of Cindy's Fusion Fitness.
Mayor David Velegol Jr. applauded Ludewig for securing a mobile version of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial for this year's festival. Like the monument in Washington, the replica bears the names of more than 50,000 service members, including several women, who were killed in action or missing in action in the Vietnam War.
Ludewig said the Follansbee Chamber of Commerce has agreed to contribute funds for the monument's visit and there will be a T-shirt sale and other fundraisers to support it.
In related business, Follansbee Police Chief John Schwertfeger asked City Manager John DeStefano to approach the West Virginia Division of Highways about allowing police to alter temporarily a traffic signal at the Follansbee Plaza so they may assist pedestrians in crossing Main Street (state Route 2) to the park.
Schwertfeger said a pedestrian crossing signal there is not long enough for some handicapped pedestrians.
While the committee offered shuttles to the park from various stops along Main Street, there were many who parked and walked to the festival last year, which was the first in which the Community House lot was used for the event.
In other business, DeStefano said an official with MonPower, a First Energy company, has advised him electric lines serving streetlights on both sides of Main Street, from the fire station to Domino's, are in need of major repairs.
DeStefano said crews were able to make temporary repairs sufficient to power the lighted snowflakes hung from the streetlights at Christmas but more permanent work is needed.
He said the lights have been the city's responsibility since it received a grant, under former city manager Ray Stoaks, to install the electrical lines underground, a move made to reduce the impact of hurricanes and storms.
DeStefano said some time ago lines in the 700 block were replaced at a cost of about $10,000, and the city could be faced with replacing lines along six blocks.
He said local representatives to the state Legislature have asked about local projects for which funding may be sought, and that will be one. Others will include new playground equipment for Mahan Playground and repairs to other parks; and repairs for or replacement of an aging water tank on Halls Road, he said.
DeStefano asked council members to suggest other projects.
Also on Monday:
Council appointed Dave Heaton to a seat on the city's water board representing the 5th Ward. Heaton will serve until December 31, completing the unexpired term of Dominick Micucci, who will continue to serve on the board as the city's councilman at large. Micucci was appointed to council following the resignation of Jim Andreozzi, who was elected Brooke County commissioner.
Council also reappointed John Bullock, Mark Schwertfeger and Phil Chiodo to the board's 2nd, 3rd and 4th ward seats.
Council observed a moment of silence for John Retton, who died Jan. 26 at age 66. Retton founded the Follansbee Youth Basketball League as well as coaching football, baseball and basketball at several area schools.
Brothers Isaac and Joseph Holden, both members of Boy Scout 57, led the Pledge of Allegiance. They were accompanied by Scoutmaster Joe Ryan.

Could you tell me any free web hosting site?
Free web hosting site
I am using the web hosting services of thewebpole.com.When we buy domain names they will provide free web hosting so its quiet good service for me. You can also try there.
you must go for webng.com
u can use 000web.com it is great for free so far
Google it and you will find many like those, but reliability, support services and uptime are the main issues with such free hosting packages.
First, you won't run out of sources when you're looking for a free hosting company because you can have a lot to choose from. Next, the most positive thing about this web hosting is that it's free. Just imagine having your own place on the internet without paying for anything at all. It's just like you're having a commercial place without paying for any rental for the place. Without paying for this internet service, you can be able to save a lot of money from this which you can still spend for other meaningful things for the expansion of your business.
Free Hosting : -
Free Hosting : -
webng.com i used it one and it was pretty ok. But as you can imagine nothing compares to a real payed one
i would suggest u don't go for free hosting it give bad impression on customers so take cheap web hosting plan and also paid for doamin.
Well there is a saying in my country (pay something take the front seat).... that tells you a lot about free web hosting
I think it would be a better option for you to choose a paid hosting provider as you can go for a small hosting plan according to the needs of your website and you won't have many restrictions. If you choose a free hosting provider, they may place ads on your website and you won't get support even if you need it.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- An animal health company is expanding its operations to the Manhattan area.
At a press conference Friday afternoon at the K-State Research Park, Midwest Veterinary Services (MVS) announced that it is building a Veterinary and Biomedical Research Center in Pottawatomie County. Local and state officials were on hand for the announcement.
Over the next few years, the Nebraska-based company expects to create 18 new positions with an average salary of $65,000 over the next few years and approximately $10,000,000 in new capital investment in Kansas.
MVS will partner with Kansas State University's veterinary college in research efforts.
"Our company helps the animal health manufacturers so companies that make animal health products and vaccines for food animals to bring those products to the market to help prove and help determine that products are both safe and effective," said Dr. Kelly Lechtenberg, with the Veterinary & Biomedical Research Center. Lechtenberg is a K-State alum.
MVS is constructing their 20,000 square foot facility in the Green Valley Business Park in Blue Township along the Highway 24 corridor.
Construction is expected to be finished in July.
