Is there any way to format a google doc so its published form will not wrap lines to the rightmost extent of the page? For example, consider the following publshed google doc: MySQL chapter in Michael Borque's PHP Book. The lines go from the leftmost portion of the page to the rightmost portion of the page, which is difficult to read. Is there any way to make the lines break before the end of the page?

This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
Try adding "embedded=true" to the link:
It ends up with double line spacing and it wraps at more or less a well-margined portrait page (16-17 cm)

>Crescent City California News, Sports, & Weather | The Triplicate
Members of the fiery, guitar-driven, world music band Incendio draw as much from the music of Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan and Rush as they do Spanish and classical guitar.
"You've got it," says frontman Jean-Pierre Durand. "We're a rock band that plays Spanish guitar. We carry ourselves like rockers on stage and it has served us well."
Incendio will bring its mix of classical, jazz, flamenco, rock and even Celtic sounds to the Lucky 7 Casino in Smith River on Friday. Tickets are $20 and available at the door; in Crescent City at Del Norte Office Supply, and in Brookings at Wright's Custom Framing and Art Supplies and the Curry Coastal Pilot.
The concert is sponsored by two nonprofit organizations: Friends of Music and Stagelights Musical Arts Community.
Musicians Durand, his wife, Liza Carbe, and Jim Stubblefield formed Incendio in 1999. The three will be joined on this tour by drummer/percussionist Timothy Curle, who has performed with grammy-nominated artist Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, Elton John, David Foster, Chris Botti and Bela Fleck.
The band is often grouped with nouveau flamenco guitarists such as Jesse Cook, Armik and Luis Villegas, but Incendio is much more than that.
"The prevailing sound of contemporary Spanish guitar is usually something like Gypsy Kings," Durand said. "There are way too many other influences to limit our sound to that one thing. The rock bands are important touchstones for the group. Their approach to composition and production is a huge influence on us. By virtue of that, we're going to sound different."
According to the band's website (www.incendiomusic.com), classically trained guitarists Durand and Stubblefield play nylon-stringed, acoustic guitars while performing. Carbe — who was classically trained at California State University at Northridge — plays acoustic, electric and bass guitars.
Durand said, "Liza's preferences run somewhere between English Renaissance composer John Dowland, contemporary classical like Elliott Carter's, and Zeppelin. She loves John Paul Jones because she loves bass, and Jimmy Page because he was so expansive in his tastes."
He added, "Jim is a big fan of Randy Rhoads' guitar work with Ozzy Osbourne."
Durand also plays a Roland GR-55 synthesizer to get the sounds of mandolin, accordion, keyboards and other sounds.

I recently spoke at the LKCE conference in Vienna on 21st Century Portfolio Management. The talk was recorded and is available here http://vimeo.com/52546904 It's about an hour long.
I've now presented this material in Madrid, Boston, Tokyo, Vienna, Utrecht, and at various clients around Australia – and each time have found that the contents of the talk has generated a good amount of interest.
The feedback I have been getting, in person after each talk, is that there isn't a lot out there (in books, articles, blog posts, guidance from agile consultancies etc) on Agile at the portfolio level and beyond, and that much of what I talk about is classed as undiscussables in most organisations.
My shorter Boston talk, that was recorded back in May, has generated over 1000 views (the next most watched being Steve Denning, David Anderson and Don Rienertsen with a few hundred each) which kind of backs this interest up.
The good news is that in Australia we are actually doing what I talk about i.e. it's not just theory. I hope to publish more on that (and the results) in the future.

February 09, 2013 / Category: Fitness Community
The technology revolution is not the only force impacting the future of fitness. There is another factor contributing to the changing needs of exercisers: evolution. Our bodies have been changing since the dawn of human kind. The athletic, hunter-gatherer-nomadic lifestyle has given way over time to a more sedentary and unregulated life for most. A life comprised of largely unilateral movements. The effects of our current day-to-day activity (or lack thereof) have shaped the growing fitness trend known as corrective exercise and postural training.
Corrective exercise techniques can be utilized to help relieve pain and some even claim it can reverse improper posture.

Why is it that the 9th of Av is a full-day fast but the other post-Mosaic fasts are daytime-only fasts? What determined the length?

The Talmud rules (Rosh Hashana 18b) that the Temple related commemorative dates have 3 possible statuses: in a time of peace, they are holidays; in a time of oppression, they are fasts; in a time of neither peace nor oppression, they are optional fasts, with the exception of Tisha Bav which remains an obligatory fast. The Ramban (quoted in Beit Yosef OC 550) explains that nowadays we are in the last category, and the custom is to fast only in the daytime and not to refrain from the other 4 afflictions (washing, leather shoes, etc.). The custom can be this way because the fast is optional to begin with. Were we to revert to a time of oppression (who determines this is hard to say), then all the Temple related fasts would have the same rules as Tisha Bav.

The Heart of Francis's Mission
Christianity has often been used over the centuries to prop up the powerful. But from the beginning, the Christian message has been subversive of political systems, judgmental toward those at the top, and demanding of all who take it seriously.
Pope Francis has surprised the world because he embraces the Christian calling to destabilize and to challenge. As the first leader of the Catholic Church from the Southern Hemisphere, he is especially mindful of the ways in which unregulated capitalism has failed the poor and left them "waiting."
His apostolic exhortation, "The Joy of the Gospel," is drawing wide and deserved attention for its denunciation of "trickle-down" economics as a system that "expresses a crude and naive trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power." It's a view that "has never been confirmed by the facts" and has created "a globalization of indifference." Will conservatives among American Catholics who have long championed tax cutting for the wealthy acknowledge the moral conundrum that Francis has put before them?
But American liberals and conservatives alike might be discomfited by the pope's criticism of "the individualism of our postmodern and globalized era," since each side defends its own favorite forms of individualism. Francis mourns "a vacuum left by secularist rationalism," not a phrase that will sit well with all on the left.
And in light of the obsessive shopping on Cyber Monday and Black Friday, here is a pope who paints consumerism in the darkest of hues. "We are thrilled if the market offers us something new to purchase," he writes. "In the meantime all those lives stunted for lack of opportunity seem a mere spectacle; they fail to move us."
Yet this critic of our age refuses to be gloomy, scolding "querulous and disillusioned pessimists" whom he labels "sourpusses." I like a pope who takes a stand against sourpusses.
Francis makes many liberals swoon without, in a conventional sense, being a liberal. He has also split American conservatives between those trying to hold fast to him and those who know that he is, from their perspective, up to something dangerous.
All sides realize where the energy of Francis' pontificate lies. He's not the first pope to denounce our unjust economic system. Pope John Paul II regularly decried "imperialistic monopoly" and "luxurious egoism." Pope Benedict XVI condemned "corruption and illegality" in "the conduct of the economic and political class in rich countries" while speaking approvingly of "the redistribution of wealth."
The difference is that a concern for the poor and a condemnation of economic injustice are at the very heart of Francis' mission. "In this system, which tends to devour everything which stands in the way of increased profits," he writes, "whatever is fragile, like the environment, is defenseless before the interests of a deified market, which become the only rule." Can you imagine an American liberal who would dare say such things?
Conservative American Catholics have been quick to point out that toward the end of "The Joy of the Gospel," Francis strongly affirms the church's opposition to abortion. This is, indeed, one of the ways in which he is not a conventional liberal. He speaks of "unborn children" as "the most defenseless and innocent among us." He insists that the church's position is not "ideological, obscurantist and conservative," but rather is "linked to the defense of each and every other human right."
Yet almost immediately, he adds that "it is also true that we have done little to adequately accompany women in very difficult situations," and quickly moves back to his broader stand on behalf of "other weak and defenseless beings who are frequently at the mercy of economic interests or indiscriminate exploitation."
It's quite true that liberals who love Francis need to come to terms with aspects of his thought that may be less congenial to their assumptions. But the high priority he has placed on battling economic exploitation, his warnings against those who "remain intransigently faithful to a particular Catholic style from the past," and his unhappiness with the rise of ultra-orthodoxy -- he upbraids "dour judges bent on rooting out every threat and deviation" -- test conservatives even more.
In light of a recent past in which conservatism was gaining the upper hand in the American Catholic church, progressives have reason to be elated. Conservative Catholics know this. That's why they are torn between expressing loyalty to a pope who has captured the popular imagination and fretting over whether he is transforming the church with a speed that few thought was possible.

Of course Pope Francis is no Marxist, certainly no secular Utopian, but he is not a doctrinaire global Capitalist either, and Rush Limbaugh, being of mainline Protestant extraction, will find it difficult to appreciate what the Pope is saying, and how most Catholics will agree with him and in any case, will fall in line behind him. In fact I will wager that most American Protestants will not catch the nuance and balance the pope is describing. The news media will not help either; they will just gleefully proclaim "Francis is a Socialist", and move on to the next Hollywood outrage or nonsense. Thoughtful people however who take time to read a few pages or think about what Pope Francis wrote for ten or fifteen minutes, will readily understand.
In my reading of his letter, Pope Francis points to the current form of capitalism as being deficient because modern societies have – you guessed it - lost sight of the value of individual human beings, of the value of life.
This part of being a Catholic is easy for me, in that while I probably do not understand all of what Pope Francis is talking about, and as a Republican, politically I tend not to be as much toward the middle (as balanced) as he most probably is, of course I know he is correct - he is the pope after all - and I will trim my sails accordingly.
There – that burden is easy and that yoke is light. Like the red button at the Staples store says; "That was easy". I did the same with John Paul II, Pope Benedict (they both ocassionally commented on the economy as well); I will do the same with the next pope.
Old Chesterton once quipped something to the effect that; While strict Socialism ruins the family in theory, strict Capitalism does so in practice. In those days (1920's) he promoted something called "Distributism", which I have not yet looked into very much, but will of course - as time permits.
It will be intersting to see how American Catholics receive this, but how they react is not particularly important; Francis is simply saying the obvious truth and sputter away as one might, it is difficult to argue with that. In any case, for a traditional Catholic like me, the fact that the Pope in Rome - the Vicar of Christ - decided to take the time (i.e., spend his valuable time), and sit down and write out somehting like this means; it is important, we Catholics should pay careful attention, and with the consequent fresh understanding that sort of thoughtful consideration produces, adjust our course as best suits the common good.
EJ, I disagree that the poor is at the heart of Francis' message. God and his love for each individual are the heart of his message. AMDG.
E.J. Dionne has hit the nail on the head, as usual. Maybe through a meaningful dialogue among all Catholics, especially between the clergy and lay people, we can come to see the wisdom and truth of Pope Francis' message.
I was stunned to learn that Rush Limbaugh has said that Pope Francis Is not really a Cahtolic, but Is in fact a Marxist.
It's ubelievable. I ask myseldf why on earth is he saying such a thing? But people I've talked to were not surprised. They say Rush has always been trying to dupe religious people into becomeing foot soldiers in his crusade to give tax breaks to the wealthy. Pope Francis is a danger to Rush's effort to seduce religious people to his cause.
Will Catholics take Rush's side on this? I don't think so! No way.
While I wish that people would simply read and contemplate the words of this most extraordinary Pope, EJ Dionne has, in my opinion done a pretty decent job of conveying the essence of the message of Francis in remarkably few words. Considering Francis in the context of his two immediate predecessors was helpful. I hope that this little essay receives a wide distribution among both Catholics and among those writing about Francis in both MSM and blogosphere.
Rush Limbaugh is a disc jockey; and still spinning round and round his same old tunes.

Rep. David McKinley has learned the Department of Defense plans to pull its support for this year's Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia amid the sequester of federal funds and mandated budget cuts to defense.
"The Defense Department is recommending a withdrawal of funding," said Mike Hamilton, chief of staff for McKinley, R-Wheeling. "Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has to make a yes or no decision.
"Right now, we are trying to figure what can be done to make them reconsider their recommendation."
The National Guard provides troops for security for the Boy Scouts National Jamboree, slated for July 15-24 at the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve.
McKinley has introduced a bill to prevent the Department of Defense from withdrawing its support for the Jamboree in West Virginia. The bill would prohibit the agency from pulling the National Guard from the event unless there is a matter of national security.
"This summer, the National Boy Scout Jamboree will bring more than 85,000 Scouts from across the country to West Virginia," said McKinley. "Now, due to budget cuts the Department of Defense has announced that it would end its logistical and security support for the Jamboree. This action would negatively impact the thousands of Scouts attending the Jamboree as well as the entire region.
"It's important to protect the Jamboree from misguided cuts that would damage a thirty-year relationship between the National Guard and the Jamboree. The Department of Defense should keep its promise, and the bill I've introduced will ensure that," added McKinley.
The cuts "don't need to happen," he continued.
"Instead, the Obama Administration could target the billions of dollars in waste and duplication that has already been identified by the Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office," McKinley said. "It's simply a matter of priorities."

Serbian White Eagles??? Acidburn how did they make the CWC...
Serbian White Eagles??? Acidburn how did they make the CWC...
It was held in Canada so maybe the hosts go into it as Seattle were the North American Champions League winners.
Maybe they were in it because it had to be a team from the Canadian league although that is a complete guess. The ground it was all played in was called BMO field not being funny as I know you follow Toronto but surely 20k stadium is not big enough really.
Canada shouldn't get a CWC, and even if they do, there's Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, or some of the other CFL stadiums across the country, because they have more room for spectators.
This has got me curious to see what other teams have got into it in the past.
20k is not bad by any standards really I just thought that for this type of tournament they might want a 40k stadium.
Very nice work indeed AB! Great result!

guys what type of careers do you prefer reading. non league to champs league? Journeyman? or when people start with the big guns? Out of curiosity>
All of them.
To be honest though, I'm personally mainly into the stories where people start off small and work their way up, whether that be with one club or via a journeyman save.
I also like any original ideas for challenges, like AB's thread last year where he was trying to win Champions Leagues from every continent. Anything a bit different in terms of a challenge.
I guess to get me hooked on a career, I quite like there to be some clear aims, whether that be take one club to the top of world football or end up managing a favourite club. That kind of thing.
I think I'm less interested in the big club saves as there seems less of a long-term challenge/aim but that's just my opinion. I do like reading about big clubs who are 'sleeping giants' though.
In general, if a career has a bit of a story to it (and isn't just a 'I won everything' thread) then I'll give it a go. The main thing for me is the quality and clarity of the updates and how passionate a person is about their save.

I like reading about people who have struggled a little bit but it hasn't put them off and they come back stronger
I also like Small Club to Big Club (1 club or several)
I like most journeyman threads that see the user travel from country to country, don't really like big club threads unless there is something else involved like using all youth players or buying in all one nationality. I might be the minority but I do not really like the non-league to champions league threads there are some exceptions I liked Acidmonkeys Crook thread from last year as he is a fellow Sunderland fan and Crouchys Saints thread as there is a clear passion for the team that he supports in real life. Too many lower league threads involved back to back promotions to the EPL which is easily possible in FM but is not that exciting to read.
I need to see that the user is really into their game, I know that it is hard to tell but sometimes it can stand out how they feel about their game. I can usually tell within the first few posts if I will enjoy a thread or not.
In my career games, I'm happy as long as I'm winning. I really don't care where I'm managing as long as I'm successful.
I'm very loyal (as AcidBurn knows) to my clubs and I love Asian club and international football. And of course the Canadian national team. I'm pleased if we can go the World Cup regularly.
is anybody waiting for the patch before starting a save or you all enjoying it at the moment.
Whilst as Bury in League two I've had one of my most impressive FA cup runs:
R1: Bradford (L2) 2-0
R2: Shrewsbury (BSP) 2-1
R3: Altrincham (BSP) 1-0
R4: Preston (CH) 0-0 and 0p-0
R5: Leeds (CH) 2-1
R6: Manchester United (PL) 0-0 and 0-3
I will finally get a save started after Xmas (thanks to my deal with my missus)
I like reading any kind of thread really, although I prefer non-English league careers.
What deal with your missus Deisler26?
an obvious bribe lol...Maybe hes getting her that engagement ring she wants (if not engaged/married al;ready)
May be getting FM11 for Christmas although I dunno if I will be recording my adventures in here.
You big tease Sax.
I'm probably asking too much, but due to the premature end of my latest Crazy Canuck career, having poured the equivalent of 11 days into that save, and really having no interest in starting a new game and from 2010. I have a request to the FM Careers/CSE (let's be honest here, a lot of us are CSE guys to migrated to Careers forum ):
I would like someone to setup a 133 league save (will give XML files after I find someone) and preferably would want to holiday to 2019 since I ended up there in my last save. If not, even 2015 would be nice.
I'll PM more details if someone agrees...I don't mind if I have to wait a little (well preferably before 2011 ) but if someone can assist me I would really appreciate it.
Once I have resintalled Win7 and got FM11 then I can do it for you want but you will have to wait til after Christmas...
Before New Years at least? Before uni winter term starts?
I'd help Rancer but here is no way my laptop would take that number of leagues!
As I said in your thread rancer, i'd help if I wasn't into my save. Plus, like Crouchy, i'm not sure I could run all of those leagues!
Well my term doesn't start until the 17th :P
I can try
I'd be able to handle it but I don't have FM11
Yeh Crouchy all my careers just never seem to get finished or I lose interest :/
Neil Brock has confirmed that all saves with the Polish 2nd Division loaded, whether playable or view only, (that includes mine ) will not load in 11.2
So if you got the Polish 2nd Division loaded, do not update with the 2nd patch!!!
EDIT: It's ok lads. I understand. Thanks for your generosity. You lads definitely aren't on Santa's naughty list.
rancer they might do a 11.2.1 as an extra present for you
Has anyone else noticed strange board takeovers in their games? One of the smaller Egyptian Premier League clubs just got taken over by a pair of New Zealander businessmen and another is nor run by a Swiss board. I checked out other clubs and a semi-pro team in the 1st Division has a Spanish chairman and another has Russian investors... Seems a bit strange for Egypt - they've got the wrong EPL
That might be an issue with the database you are using for Egypt since it isn't a league that comes out of the box.
Constantly happens in New Zealand every week a team is having a takeover fail in 3 months one team had 6 or 7 failed takeover on my save.
Just out of curiosity, does anybody know a place to download additional badges/kits/etc. ?
Unrelated, every time I open the editor to create a competition, my head ends up spinning and I realize I have no idea what to make of the format.
1. Journeyman
2. Non-league to Champs League
Eleventyith. Start with the big guns.
I suspect it's because my background is from LLM (and before that, CMC).
I especially like reading the ones that start with a club outside England. Probably because the SI forums are, not surprisingly, tilted to beginning games in England, so starting with a non-English club is something different.
I wish I could start my career thread but I cannot get a job when I set up my continental dominance saves, I only like to load 10 to 15 countries and no matter what success I have I struggle to get a job of any type anywhere in the world.
They still haven't sorted that out with the patch then AB?
No not yet they are looking into it after myself and a few others uploaded save games with this issue. I am enjoying my Sunderland save for now and am thinking of doing an international save and not managing any club side just moving from country to country.
Bah. Was hoping there was a way to send my team on holiday for a couple of weeks (reward them for their performance in the first half of the season, let them get rested for the second half, have some time to watch the World Cup, etc.) but I can't seem to find that option.
I'm sure it used to be in the game.
I suppose I can just set all them to "rest" on the training schedule.
(EDIT: I mean, I can holiday. But I wanted to let the lads have some time off)

Merry Christmas to those of you in Europe/Asia/Oceania.
Also, catching up on this thread and there are a couple of things I wanted to comment on (I know I'm late to the party so I promise that I'll limit it at least to just issues discussed on this page!):
The CWC: The champions of the host nation's domestic league always get to participate in the tournament - I remember in my FM10 India save I got to participate in the CWC in only my third season in charge because it was held in India, despite the fact that I had never even played in the ACL. This season IRL Al-Wahda of the UAE got to participate and actually made it past Oceania champs Hekari United in the opening round before losing to Seongnam in the quarter finals. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the champions of the host country get admitted to the tournament since part of the point of the CWC is to spread football to other parts of the world/encourage more people to become fans in "developing" football nations/improve quality and increase interest in "developing" leagues around the world/typical boilerplate FIFA blather (or should I say Blatter? *groan*).
What kind of career games I enjoy: If it's a good thread, I'll read anything, though generally I prefer a career where the manager moves about between clubs - I think the small club to big club type challenges have it covered when it comes to taking a small team and making them world beaters (though again, if it's a well written thread, then I'll still enjoy it!).
Weird takeovers: It didn't actually happen in the end, but I got a news item that Ryan Giggs was leading a consortium to take over my club Vasco. And that's the Vasco in India, not the Vasco in Brazil.
New graphics: There are some great websites out there that make graphics packs - got to love the FM community! I'd also add that it's really not too hard to create FM-ready club badges if you have access to Photoshop. Don't want to have a thread about this in the Careers forum since it's not the place for it, but I'll happily create badges for any of my fellow Careers forum aficionados if they can provide me with a decent quality original to make it from (a quick Google search normally turns up what you need). If anyone's interested - feel free to PM me!

I FINALLY have FM2011. Bring on the career thread!
Happy New Year to my fellow FMers!
How do people here feel about centre backs scoring a lot from set pieces?
I've recently found out that there may be yet another 'corner bug' with this version of the game, leading to unrealistic numbers of goals. I've not changed my tactics since the game was released but I've now got a defender who is scoring for fun. I've checked and I'm not using the so called exploit, although this defender does take up the 'key position'. He's now got 12 goals from 44 games (5 from 32 in the league) which I consider a lot but perhaps not quite out of the question. I'm joint top for goals from corners in my league, so my numbers don't look too out of place but I'm definitely doing well for set pieces.
Where would you draw the line and change the routine to tone things down? Or would you take advantage of it and go for more goals (which I know I could do but won't)?
I think if you had the system from the beginning, then you can be happy with it.
It's changing it to exploit or knowingly setting your team up like that that's over the line IMO.
I agree with Deisler in that if you've had the system from the beginning then you can be happy. It's when you knowingly change your set up to exploit the known 'bug'. 12 goals in 44 games is above average but I wouldn't say excessive. I remember a few seasons back Lescott getting 8 or 9 and Gallas getting at least 5 so for your centre half to have 5 league goals is about average i'd say.
Could anyone tell me how to post a career overview screen please?
Like this you mean?
[code*]Type what you want[/code*]Code:Career overview

[*url=link to image here]Name of Link[/url*]
Remove the stars obviously lol.
Just now I've just beaten another weak team in the cup, with all four goals coming from corners (with four different scorers) which is the same amount we've scored in eight league games. Goals from corners do seem a bit excessive, but it only seems to be against the much weaker teams.
Guys. what about an OT thread for here?
I wonder if I can have a journeyman game through Europe as I will not be able to do my continental game.
I've found a journeyman career in Europe fine so far.
Which leagues did you load with your continental game?
England, Spain, Italy, USA, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Egypt. I suppose I could just start somewhere that isn't New Zealand but do not want to risk it. I even downloaded FMRTE and put my managers reputation up to 10,000 making him have a full world class reputation and still could not get a job. I think if your reputation is made in one country that has a low rep then getting another job is a lot harder.
Was there much overlap in the reputation of the NZ league and the others?
Here's a thought. Is there an inherent snobbery on this board? If you're not starting off in Mali Division 2 on a journeyman save, you're less regarded / read than others? Or is it the power of the writing? Just a subject to provoke conversation really!
I think if you are planning on a journeyman career then people will expect you to start off at a pretty low level, since it is the progression up through the clubs that is appealing. That's not to say that it is impossible to create an interesting read in the higher leagues, just that it may be less appealing to a lot of people.
Along with what Acid said, there seems to be a mass proliferation of BSS/BSN to EPL threads which, for me, make them much of a muchness. There are always exceptions obviously, but mainly UK careers tend to lose my interest.
I like to read about different leagues and teams I have never experienced before. I like seeing some player I have never heard of scoring 20 goals a season, I guess combined with watching English football on TV and having my saves with Crewe, Sunderland and Nantwich seeing even more English football kind of takes away my interest a bit.
AcidBurn - I checked and the Egyptian Premier League and Uruguayan Primera have the same rep (2.5*) which may well explain how I was able to ditch relegation battling Koroum for quite a decent Wanderers team. I think the rep of the NZ League is just too low... However, sustained success in the OCL should be enough to get a move somewhere and I guess that's a feature of league rep SI will have to tweak for future releases.
Deisler26 - not sure about 'snobbery' as I've never seen anyone comment "this isn't a real journeyman save because you started too high up". As dafuge said, the appeal of starting small may attract more readers than jumping in with a well-known club. Personally, I've included the leagues from New Zealand, South Korea, Egypt, India and Russia in my FM11 game because I've enjoyed reading about other users' past exploits in them. Having said that, if there's was an well-written thread about managing big European sides or top level international teams, I'm sure I'd take a look.
I think another reason we don't tend to get threads about big clubs is the GPTG forum. Over there they have club threads which double up as career update threads and I can't imagine many of them would want to move here to have a thread of their own when they already have everything they need.
What captures my interest is mainly the power of the writing and the depth and style of updates. For example, DSYoungEsq's, DodgeeD's, rancer's and Jason the Yank's style of updates and writing is what interests me. They're different from each other, DSYoungEsq's is a one club career, while DodgeeD's, rancer'sand Jason the Yank's are journeyman's so I like every type of career. However, they're not a month by month/game by game update, rather three or four updates with enough information to let the reader know what's going on. Now, i'm not saying that this is the right way to update, merely what I prefer. I had this discussion last year with a certain member and they got quite defensive about my opinion and left the Career Updates forum unfortunately.
I started unemployed with a Sunday League reputation, and managed to get the Dunfermline job, and a season later, Hartlepool came knocking even though I only finished 6th.
And personally I prefer journeyman careers or rags-to-riches stories, more so the former. I'm not really interested in youth development, single nation clubs and all that.
I generally gravitate towards journeyman careers where people move from club to club, especially if they are playing in leagues that are a little more out of the ordinary or that I don't play in that much - and I think the main reason for that is because that's the kind of FM game I generally like to play as well. As Raware said, it depends a lot on people's personal interests. Having said that, a some of my favourite threads at the moment are one club careers, so it just goes to show that the writing really is key.
Not many people write about this kind of game, but I definitely wouldn't have a problem with a thread where they just moved about between big clubs - that is (not to sound like a broken record), as long as the writing is good. The only thing that I might feel put off by would be a career where they started off at Man Utd and won the league every single season - I think that would probably get old quite quickly. Having said that, I'm totally open to the possibility that someone might write a thread like that and they might surprise me with how good it is!
I have a decent Sunderland save going at the moment and after my best ever first season we finished 2nd I am in the 4th season and have not won the league and it's been a bit of a struggle to get a serious title challenge going. Financial trouble made me sell my star player and terminate the contract of a stroppy Italian forward who was earning 180k a week. I have not posted it as a career because I want to see if I will carry on for 10 seasons, on top of that I can't see there being much interest in a Sunderland anyway.
I've been looking around and it seems that not many people do monthly updates, am I better off just doing a preseason, mid-way and end of season update? I want to know if people enjoy the regular updates?
Here's my thread, I'm wondering if there were less updates, would people still be interested?
Dude, I like your updates. You do your updates the way you want. I like your updates and you write well enough so I'll read no matter what.
I favour the three update season, with the odd report on something I think may be interesting.
I think the big thing is knowing people are reading and enjoy, gives you the spur to keep updating.
I think I'm going to do 3 updates a season, with a few extra ones for important things. That sound alright?
For what it's worth, I really couldn't care less about the country, starting point or general nature of the save being described in a careers update thread. I just like good updates, some interesting narrative, passion from the person updating, and to feel as though they are enjoying their save and are excited by it! Passion for a save can be contagious and can really get you into a career 'story', even if it's the last place/team you would have thought of managing yourself!
I have to confess that I tend to have more interest in those updates which tend to be fairly 'realistic'. By this, I really mean not exploiting the game, playing in a 'real-life' kind of way and that sort of thing. I also can get a little put off by career updates where the database has been edited (but adding edited leagues is fine, obviously) but that's just one of my own preferences. In addition to this, I tend to have more interest in those updates where people design their own tactics and I particularly like it when people give reasons for some of their choices etc.
In a way, reading something like Acidburn's Sunderland save would appeal to me even more, in fact, despite being a career game with a big club playing at the top level. This is because it is a save involving a club he supports and I would enjoy reading about how he thinks the team should be playing and all about the signings he makes and so on. That would really appeal to me.
The most important thing by far is the layout and the content. A poorly written thread with a confusing layout results in me closing the window pretty quickly, to be brutally honest. I like a good clear layout, which makes things really clear regarding the team being managed and how they are doing etc. If the thread is easy to read and accessible then I'll likely be subscribing and tuning in for more.
You have to remember, as well, that one club games are just plain different to journeyman games, but they both have plenty of interesting narratives. For a one club game, your aim might be breaking club records and seeing through the careers of your favourite players. For a journeyman career, you are going to be mixing it up a bit and taking on new challenges all of the time. Both are interesting in their own ways, so I'm a bit disappointed by the attitude that one is superior to the other.
And I find myself just as interested in English or UK careers as I am with those who go to more exotic destinations. On the one hand, it's familiarity and because I have a deep love of football in my country, I'll always enjoy those types of stories. On the other, it's something a bit different and so the interest is there to find out about a new set of leagues with new rules and different challenges.
There are so many different types of save to have on FM. Journeyman, one club careers, club and country and various other short- and long-term challenges. All are interesting in their own ways. Nobody should feel discouraged from starting a thread on here describing their career because it does not fit in with the more dominant themes. After all, I'm sure we'd all rather read about a save that they are enjoying a great deal, rather than a save that they feel they should be playing instead!

I agree, I think that if somebody puts effort into writing up a career thread and does it well, then it is always an enjoyable read, no matter what the content is. Similarly, the reason for people liking journeyman careers is that they like a bit of variety. People also want each thread to be different, and a variety - some journeyman saves, some fallen giants, some rags to riches and some long term, single club files. I think that a well made career thread will pull in readers because of how it's written and laid out, rather than the content.
We should put all the 2010 FMCU Award winners in a sticky thread for people to peruse and see examples of excellent writing.
How about a Hall of Fame for some of the best career update threads that have now finished?
here but it would be nice to have another sticky with all the best threads out there.
Most people know about the problems I have had with getting a job outside of New Zealand. I changed the reputation of New Zealand and after some success I managed to get a job at Charlton in league one after a few games I left and went to Portsmouth who have a better base for promotion. I am also constantly linked with jobs in the Spanish second division. My reputation has also dropped from continental to national so I guess the reputation only counts for the current continent you are in.
How do people feel about videos in threads? I am thinking of doing the match highlights of my best 3 matches of the season plus one for the best goal.
That works for me. Perhaps only one match tho?
One match might be better, I just can't decide which one out of the three already loaded up to youtube lol.

I'm connecting a test light to one pin of an halogen lamp. When I touch the metallic part on the back of the test light, the light glows, as it is supposed to. However, I have thick shoes and I am standing on a carpet. How could I possibly provide a path to ground?
I have tried:
- to stand on a plastic sheet -- the light still glows with the same intensity
- to touch a radiator with the other hand -- the light is much more intense
- to interpose my shoe between the metallic part of the test light and me -- the light does not glow
- to interpose a paper sheet -- the light still glows
Thank you for any response

The Nutrition Nuggets Newsletter is brought to you quarterly by The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania Registered Dietitians, Katrina Claghorn and Ellen Sweeney. Katrina and Ellen provide nutrition counseling to The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania outpatients.
Thinking of making some New Year resolutions about your diet and exercise habits? Keep these helpful stats in mind to inspire you:
For more help and guidance with your nutrition concerns contact Cancer Center Dietitians, Katrina Claghorn and Ellen Sweeney at 215-614-0651.
Many concerned consumers today are switching from conventional produce to organically grown produce in hopes of avoiding added pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals added to foods. But is it worth the extra money?
Until the new federal organic standards were released in December of 2000 (part of the USDA Organic Foods Production Act) the term 'organic' did not have a standard definition. The new regulations will ensure that foods with an 'organic' label (starting in June 2002) are grown without synthetic pesticides, genetic engineering, irradiation, sewage-sludge fertilizer, or added chemicals like sulfites, nitrates and nitrites. The standards also prohibit antibiotics in livestock and require that they eat 100% organic feed.
Despite the organic advantages, organic foods are not any more nutritious or better tasting. So the decision to buy organic foods may depend mostly on your budget. Research still tells us that the nutrition benefit of eating any type of produce outweighs any risks. Aim for 7-9 servings a day for maximum benefits!
If you choose to buy organic but want to control your grocery bill costs, here is some help. The list below shows conventionally grown fruits and veggies that are most and least likely to contain pesticide residues, according to government data. If you like a food that is on the Ten Worst list, you might want to buy organic; for the 'cleanest' foods, it's probably not worth the extra cost. Also remember to wash all produce under running, warm water to remove dirt, bacteria, and residues.

Neutropenia is a common side effect of chemotherapy and immunosuppressive medications. A person can become 'neutropenic' when their white blood cells are temporarily reduced to very low levels. This low white blood cell count reduces a person's immune response and makes them more susceptible to infection. It becomes very important for neutropenic patients to practice good hygiene and food safety and sanitation practices, such as frequent hand washing and following a neutropenic or low bacteria diet. Foods that are not cooked and sanitized, such as lettuce and fresh fruits, can carry pathogens, leading to an infection. Therefore, salads and fresh fruit and other raw foods should be eliminated. A dietitian can instruct you on a low bacteria diet if it is needed, as determined by your physician.
Cranberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber, as well as a nutrient called anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are compounds that give the berry its red color. The compounds may also prevent heart disease by improving blood flow, and may reduce the risk of cancer through their antioxidant activity. Another compound in cranberries, proanthocyanidin, has been found to reduce urinary tract infections by preventing bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall.
Besides juice and sauce, dried cranberries are an easy way to sneak this fruit into your diet. They can be used instead of raisins in baking (such as in oatmeal cookies and quick breads), added to both hot and cold cereals, or tossed into salads. Of course, there is always the holiday standard: cranberry sauce.
Cranberry-Orange Relish
Cut orange into eight wedges (with peel) and combine with the dried cranberries in a food processor or blender. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the fresh or frozen cranberries and sugar. Pulse until chopped evenly. Makes 3 cups.

I just recovered from a white screen of death I was having by reinstalling my nvidia drivers via the command line in recovery mode. When I rebooted after that, everything was fine, except one of my monitors is not displaying anything.
I ran sudo nvidia xconfig, which created the conf file for me, but the issue was not resolved. In X Server Settings, the secondary monitor (the one not displaying), is detected and enabled in TwinView, but its resolution is not detected and the screen is black. If I try switching workspaces, the little window showing all workspaces show the second monitor sitting next to my monitor, same as in X Server Settings.
What options do I have for resolving this?
Thanks a lot!

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – With four players reaching double figures, the Anderson men's basketball team bounced back from a road loss three nights ago to defeat Coker, 82-72, in South Atlantic Conference action Saturday afternoon at Timberlake-Lawton Gymnasium.
Anderson (19-7, 14-6 SAC) claimed its 10th win in the last 12 outings and maintained sole possession of third place in the league standings, one game behind Carson-Newman. Coker slipped to 13-11 overall and 10-10 in the conference, while having its win streak halted at two.
With the eight-team field set for next month's Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament, both the Trojans and Cobras are battling for seeding in the event and momentum down the regular-season home stretch. Anderson wrapped up its two-game road swing by spoiling Senior Night for Coker with a win in what is scheduled to be the Cobras' final regular-season game in historic Timberlake-Lawton Gymnasium.
"I am really proud of the team," said Anderson head coach Jason Taylor. "Our effort tonight was outstanding. Our guys played very well. There is no one I respect more than [Coker] Coach Schmotzer and the job he has done here and I can't even articulate how big a win this is."
The Trojans won the battle of the boards, 44-32, marking the 12th time in their last 13 games that AU out-rebounded its opponent. Anderson also shot 52.8 percent (28-of-53) from the field – its second-highest accuracy of the season - while the Cobras shot 32.8 percent from the field. The Trojans committed a season-high 19 turnovers, but out-scored Coker 15-2 in second-chance points.
Senior guard Chandler Hash led all scorers with 22 points and was a perfect 10-of-10 from the free throw line and handed out three assists. Fellow guard CJ Gleaton notched his seventh double-double of the season with 17 points and 12 rebounds, while senior Kyle Sledge tallied a season-high 12 points and collected eight rebounds. Junior guard Nick Jackson netted 11 points off the bench, with guard Myson Jones adding nine points and shared game-high honors with six assists. Redshirt freshman Lex Davis chipped in nine points in 17 minutes of action.
Senior guard Julian Nelson led the Cobras with 19 points, with Trey Marshall and Larry Felder each adding 14 points apiece.
The first half featured five ties and nine lead changes, with the Trojans pushing out to a 22-12 advantage with 12:37 left in the opening half. With Anderson still holding the double-digit lead two minutes later, the Cobras rallied on the strength of 13 unanswered points as part of a 17-2 run to take their largest lead of the contest, at 31-26, with less than six minutes left in the half.
The final four-plus minutes of the half saw six lead changes, with Coker taking a 39-36 lead to the locker room.
Anderson came out of the break with a 16-4 outburst to take a lead they would not relinquish, as Gleaton and Sledge fueled the run by combining for 10 of the Trojans' points during the decisive surge.
Coker trimmed the AU lead to 60-55 with just more than 13 minutes left in the game, but the Cobras would get no closer, as Jackson sandwiched a layup and a 3-pointer around a Hash layup to boost the Trojans' lead back to double digits (67-57) midway through the final half.
Anderson steadily built its largest lead of the contest, 78-64, on Hash's second trey of the afternoon with 5:09 on the clock and held on down the stretch despite connecting on just 4-of-8 free throws inside the final four minutes of the contest.
Anderson wraps up its home schedule by playing host to Tusculum on Wednesday, as the Trojans will recognize CJ Gleaton, Chandler Hash, Will Keistler and Kyle Sledge for their contributions to the program. AU will be looking for a sweep of the season series after defeating TC, 80-73, earlier this season. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m.

What is a purely topological characterisation of the real line( standard topology)?
Here are a few examples that came up in a first search. Ward in "The topological characterization of an open linear interval", Proc. London Math. Soc.(2) 41 (1936), 191-198 proved the characterization of the real line as a connected, locally connected separable metric space, such that every point is a strong cut point (removing it leaves precisely two connected components). Franklin and Krishnarao proved that in this characterization "metric space" can be relaxed to "regular space", "On the topological characterization of the real line", Department of Mathematics, Carnegie-Mellon University, Report #69-36, 1969.
On a different note, Thron and Zimmerman prove in "A characterization of order topologies by means of minimal T0-topologies", Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 27, (1971), 161-167, that order topologies $\tau$ on a set $X$ can be characterized as the topologies for which $(X,\tau)$ is $T_1$ and $\tau$ is the least upper bound of two minimal $T_0$ topologies. (Minimal here means that the open sets form a nested family of sets and that the complements of the point closures form a base for the topology.) Similarly the reals can be characterized as a connected, separable, $T_1$ space, and $\tau$ is the least upper bound of two noncompact minimal $T_0$ topologies.
Gjergi's answer is almost certainly the best possible. But I wanted to add another one, that's a bit more "modern" in its approach to characterization problems. Namely, consider the category whose objects consist of a topological space $X$ and a pair of (edit: distinct, closed) points $l_X,r_X \in X$. This category has a monoidal structure, given by $$ (X,l_X,r_X) \otimes (Y,l_Y,r_Y) = \bigl( (X \sqcup Y) / (r_X = l_Y), l_X, r_Y \bigr). $$ Now consider the endofunctor $(-)^{\otimes 2}$ of this category that sends each object to its "tensor square". Recall that coalgebra for an endofunctor $F$ is an object $\mathcal X$ and a morphism $\mathcal X \to F (\mathcal X)$; given any endofunctor, there is a category of coalgebras. Unpacking when $\mathcal X = (X,l_X,r_X)$ and $F = (-)^{\otimes 2}$, a coalgebra is precisely a topological space $X$ with two marked points $l_X,r_X$, along with a continuous map $X \to X \sqcup_{r_X = l_X} X$ fixing the remaining marked points.
The amazing result is that the category of coalgebras of this functor has a terminal object, and that terminal object is precisely the closed interval $[0,1]$, with $l = 0$ and $r = 1$. Then it's clear how to characterize $\mathbb R = $ the open interval: it is the final coalgebra for this functor, minus its two marked points.
Gjergji's answer looks very exhaustive. Let me just add the paper http://www.jstor.org/pss/2308632 where they propose a topological characterization, also in this case using the order topology (the real line is the unique linear space which is separable, connected and having neither maximum nor minimum). Personally, I would avoid the order and I really like Ward's characterization.
Take the category of completely regular spaces (subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces or uniformisable spaces, you do not need the real numbers) with continuous maps. The cogenerators in this category are precisely all spaces containing the real numbers as a subspace. Now you can choose all connected cogenerators which are contained in every cogenerator. You get (up to homeomorphisms) $[0,1]$, $[0,1)$ and $\mathbb{R}$. Only one of these objects can be embedded densely into the other two objects: $\mathbb{R}$. Notice that you can state this definition without refering to anything else than the morphisms in the category of completely regular spaces. This definition is quite amusing in my opinion, although it might not be very practical.

Manatee school board passes $558 million budget
Published: Friday, August 1, 2014 at 4:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 1, 2014 at 4:30 p.m.
BRADENTON - The Manatee County School Board passed a $558 million tentative budget that includes a $1 million increase to the projected surplus and the possibility for an armed security officer at each elementary school.
The surplus is projected to be $13.5 million instead of $12.5 million and will exceed the state-mandated minimum of 3 percent. The projected surplus will mark the first time the district will meet the state-required fund balance since 2009-10.
It is a positive turnaround as the district began the 2013-14 year with a shortfall of $8.9 million. Then the district had to deal with the surprising news from the state that it had to restore $5.9 million to the budget for past financial mismanagement.
"This has been the result of an extraordinary performance by this school board and school district staff and this community," Superintendent Rick Mills said in a statement. "We have brought this school district back to a state of fiscal stability and it is an extraordinary success story we can all celebrate."
The school board also approved the 2014-15 millage rate of 7.376. It is a decrease from 7.752 last year, but the district still expects an increase in tax revenue because property values are increasing.
One mil is the equivalent of $1 for every $1,000 of taxable property value.
Also included in the tentative budget is funding for fulltime armed security personnel at every elementary school, funding for two additional school resources officers so all secondary schools have at least one fulltime SRO, and funding to update radios on all school buses.
The armed officers would cost roughly $1.7 million. They would not be active officers, district officials said Thursday night, but would be former military and law enforcement officers.
The additional school resource officers would cost the district $3 million.

Ili kako bi naši susjedi rekli:Lepo u p. m.
I love the haziness.
What a beautiful shot. Mere words escape me. Funnily enough the misty all over effect brings the trees,water, and boat's into focus in this great pink toned picture. The defused weak sun only adds to all of its beauty. Wonderful camera work. j.e.s........
Bien qu`hivernale cette photo exprime un milieu calme et apaisant.
Lovely capture.
Fog seems to always add that sense of mystery to things. This certainly captures that! Love it!!!

really beautiful capture.... reminds me the halcyon days when me and my friends used to go near pond just half a mile away from my house.........BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
Wow. Reminds me of Turner without the colour.
Real Awesome Photo .The ambiance and composition is great. Nice photo
the ambience is really a magic. beautiful photo. the mood of the evening, the waving of trees in the arms of air esp on the back side, the boats, the reflection of sun in the river. Also, the foggy day adding a different flavor to the scene altogether. beautiful.

Each year, as cooler weather rolls into town, Atchison gets busy sending chills down your spine. The river town has a unique history. Louis & Clark landed here on July 4, 1804. Aviatrix Amelia Earhart called it home. It was once a major commercial and railroad center of the state. In recent years, however, Atchison has become better known for tales and legends of a darker kind – enough that is has earned the moniker "The Most Haunted Town in Kansas." It has learned to wear it well as thousands of people flock there every fall to hear some of the dozens of ghost stories associated with the town's beautiful homes and spaces.

See Dylan Lauren's Wedding Dress — Designed by Dad!
Courtesy VOGUE
When Dylan Lauren first saw her wedding dress, designed by her famous father, Ralph Lauren, she was speechless. "I may not take off the dress after the wedding," Dylan joked to Oprah Winfrey during a family interview in May. "I told my fiancé I may sleep in it, I may wear it the next day. It's really beautiful. It's stunning." Now we get to see it, too: the August issue of Vogue includes a feature on Dylan and hedge fund manager Paul Arrouet's June 11 nuptials in Bedford, N.Y., complete with a photo of the dreamy gown. But creating the dress wasn't so easy for Dylan's esteemed designer dad. After consulting with wife Ricky, as well as Dylan, Ralph went through "a few drawings" in hopes of pleasing the bride. "Ricky looked at the first drawing and said, 'Ralph, that's not Dylan. I think she should have this and should have this,'" Ralph told Winfrey. "Nothing was perfect." Indeed, the pressure was certainly on. "I had to do something that was better than ever before," Ralph said. "That's the only daughter I have. I wanted to just give her something that she'd really treasure, give her something that would be really amazing, and I wanted her to feel fantastic." It seems that mission was accomplished. But Ralph doesn't get to rest just yet; he's currently designing the wedding dress of his daughter-in-law-to-be, FEED founder Lauren Bush. –Kate Hogan
