Booo Hex. Tunnicliffe has never scored 7
Booo Hex. Tunnicliffe has never scored 7
Was that a league record Hexham? English managed to do it in one of the league games, only for me to find that a AI teams striker had already hit 7 in one game the season before, Gutted!
I think i might remove my striker, he hasnt reached 50 goals in all comps never mind the league alone i feel bad for him now.
Simons holds the league record, 9 in a game. Against Wigan who we beat 11-0 away from home.

I give you, Michael Wilson:
He's not as great attributes-wise as many of the players posted on here, but as his record shows, he can compete with anyone for goals. The best part of all is that he was a Chelsea academy product, he has 105 league goals in 102 league appearances, and 183 goals in all competitions so far. This is just the end of his third season, so he's still got a long way to go in the game yet.
He's pretty much an exact copy of Tunnicliffe - his future's bright.
That's pretty much what Tunnicliffe looked like at 18/19 - as long as he has the potential he'll be even more beastley than he already is.
58 league goals isn't bad for 19
There's a few stats to sink your teeth into, Keirrison with 12 goals in a single match (he took the match ball home and all the ones the ballboys had too ). Leigh Stones is the man that continues to feed pensioner Keirrison to get goals. He's become his legs and strength to keep the ball. That said the 4-4-2 I play on FM09 and the poor quality regen managers sees things like this happening all too often.
973 goals for the club? Thought he had waaaay more than that?
Never been able to get a prolific guy since on FM10 or 11 have you?
Santy's a known cheater, I wouldn't worry about it
My most prolific striker in one season...
The formation...
This was on 08. I'll go through another season with them to see if Adebayor can repeat the feats of last season.
I am indeed Brazil manager, the 973 is league goals doesn't consider any of his league, FA & european cup goals or his 200 odd international goals. As you can see when he can score 12 goals in a single cup game, there is the potential for huge distortion between league and total :P
Unfortunately I've never been able to get even a 50 goals in a season scorer on FM11 and only had it once or twice on FM10.
My two most prolific Strikers are David Stewart and Gareth Evans.
David Stewart
Including international goals he has hit 959 Goals in 702 apps.
Including international goals he has hit 209 goals in 165 apps
Overall XI
Hexhamlad any chance of you uploading some match pkms?
That is simply amazing.
Anyway, just for fun, here's one of his better goals (first one but the second ain't bad too):

I'll just upload my tactic later, will be easier.
I've also got Romelu Lukaku who is 18 years old now. I might play him next season instead of Higuain and see if i can get him to score 1000 like Felipe. Thing is though it's much less of an acheivement doing it with Real Madrid but i can't be bothered to drag another team to the top like i did with Oxford on FM10..
Adam Le Fondre
73 goals in 95 games. Not bad for Bradford City player.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Not a bad season for the lad, looks like hes going to become my first 1000 goal striker on FM11. Pity hes just asked for a new contract and is wanted 120k per week, normally id begrudge such a hefty wage hike but he certainly deserves it!
Lets hope he does the buisness for me in the champions league final against Porto
How the hell do you get your strikers to score over 50 league goals?? Any special tactic? Please post it on here if you have a great tactic.
Graham Cheeseman- Signed on a free. 11 goals in 32, my top scorer in first season with Solihull. Get in, lol.
1000 goals in 653 Newcastle appearances. A further 136 goals in 124 English caps
So you just set your tactics to all the defaults that the Wizard gives you and all you do is change the striker role to poacher?
New season, not quite as good as last year. Still, I'll keep you boys updates.
767 goals in 441 games in all comps. Mon 1000!
I'll upload it in here. I've had about 15 PM's about it
Best striker in the game
I'm not buying those Rutger goals. Near post surley?
far post actually, and he gets about 10/15 headers a season at most.
Too high for far post TBH as it's effect has been reduced for 11.3.
Definitely set to far post - I've tried his tactic
I've posted the tactic in this thread TBH
Meh, he's just too far dominant in ME similar as Tunnicliffe. Looking forward to hopefully improved newgen system in FM12. Traits are good in FM11 but still large amount of newgens are highly unrealistic.
I'll start a new save at some point. Guarantee I would get any of the top five strikers in the game to get over 120 goals in a season.
THere's nothing unrealistic about the newgens - but the way the match engine handles them definitely is.
It's the match engine that needs the work.
Rooney. Ronaldo. Other Ronaldo.
It happens.
(Incidentally, Tunnicliffe looked awful until about 19 which is when I started playing him properly iirc)
Hex's player is the equivalent of a one-footed Lionel Messi, I don't see the problem. (Change Lionel Messi to one-footed and his attributes will rearrange themselves).
It's not like there's a dozen of these players turning up every season.
I've seen maybe two or three world class 16 year olds in my save.
Pato. 32 goals in 38 matches in all competitions.
one footed lionel messi, I like that!
The very best regens might be able to win a rotational slot in a top (human-built) team at 16 with CAs of say 140 but they are certainly not world-class.
This is pretty realistic IMO, the very best real-life players might break into the first team in a club in a top league at 16 but I can't think of a single example where a 16-year-old is considered world-class. They aren't even first-choice players for a top club or international side usually.
My long-term replacement for Tunnicliffe:
Passos is about the most pure striker I've ever seen. Except his agility, which is weirdly awful, sure the rest of his attributes will make up for it though.
Last edited by Bracken; 25-05-2011 at 20:21.
You mean his agility?
His balance is 16.
I don't know what you're talking about
Pfft, agility so not needed.
How come all the strikers you are getting have so low non-important for a striker, like Marking, Long Throws, Tackling and even Positioning?
I've had two in 15 years
He's so Brazillian. Awesome attacker with flair, utterly useless when you don't have the ball.
I guess he can only ever be a poacher with passing and crossing? If he doesn't shoot, he is definitely going to give the ball to the opposition.
edit: I love that he's so incredibly good at heading without ever being likely to win one if there is a defender in the box.
He can do diving headers...
Not with that agility
Edinson Cavani: 99 goals in 58(1) appearances (no penalties)

Oh yeah. You're all jealous of this... *rolls eyes*
Well, I don't remember how many goals. But in FM10 when I signed for Twente, I got Vagif Javadov from Azerbaiyan that wasn't a starter, I added him to the initial 11 and he got tired of scoring XD. The following season he went to Liverpool.
And in FM09 I got a surprise because when I signed for Boca, they got Mauro Obolo in the team (He's an average ST). And he also got tired of scoring so many goals XD
ATM, I have Gabriel Hauche that is having a good season, he also scored in his first national match when I called him :O
Easily the greatest season I've ever had a player have in all my years of coaching (exclusively MLS teams):
That's now 115 goals in 169 games, 7.46 rating. Freebie in my first season, slapped a $20 million pricetag on him and as of yet no team has made any sort of offer for him. Few more months and he'll finally be elligible for the Canadian team.
Runner-up is Seba, a $6 million signing after the first season. Currently sitting on 78 goals in 136 games, 7.33 rating.
Leigh Griffiths in 2015.
Very average attributes, all of my coaches giving him only 2.5 stars, but he is banging goals like crazy in EPL and Euro Cup with almost 1:1 rate.
There is something special about this guy.
Since FM2011 dont think we see that sort of scoring anymore, could be wrong however...
Cavani @ Tottenham in 2014 .. no sure how many goals he has
Cedric Bakambu @ Sunderland.. took 7 seasons to become Sunderlands top league goalscorer..didn't make his international debut until he was 29 and so far has scored 52 in 39 for France!
This is my team's locomotive:
I refused a 88 mil bid from Barca for him...
Not bad for a debut season, i'm just wondering how he'll manage to top it!
EDIT: He just won the World Cup golden boot as well, scoring 8 goals

2 pretty incredible strikers there guys, KUTGW
I have just finished my first full season as manager of Athletico Madrid after several seasons at Arsenal and had to find a striker to replace the retiring Sergio Aguero.
Here's the striker I got, he's got the highest goals to games ratio I've ever managed to get out of a striker in any FM and has just been confirmed as top league goalscorer.
Edit: I played him as a poacher with no tweaks to his player instructions at all this season. Might consider changing his wide play instruction to cuts inside rather than moves into channels to see if I can get him scoring even more next season.

Ribeiro looks great slipknot, how much did he set you back? Great season too.
This thread is really inspiring for those of us with long term games. "Some day I'll find a Tunnicliffe! Just one more year....". I do wonder how those with games past 2020 manage to play so many seasons? It takes me forever!
Having no life helps.
Of course sometimes it just doesn't click - I replaced Tunnicliffe with a player who looked even better, but couldn't score half of what Tunnicliffe did.
This guy just had an amazing season. I can't believe he hasn't been capped.
Last edited by Play Up Pompey!; 25-07-2011 at 16:16.
I find that a lot with regens. They can be absolutely immense their whole careers, yet barely manage over 20 caps.
Would probably have to be this lad for me, a regen signed on my original Newcastle save when I first got FM11. Don't think I've had anyone quite as prolific on previous versions of FM. Though Gregorz Mielcarski came close for my Aberdeen team back in CM97/98. On my current Newcastle save Kevin Gameiro is incredibly consistent, at last count he had 89 goals from 88 appearances.
Mohammed Abdel Hamid
Best Season so far:
He actually finished this season with 78 goals in all competitions, this screenshot was taken at the end of the League season, but we still had a Champs League final to play and he bagged another 2 there.
He was actually something of a slow starter for us and though the scouts had recommended him highly I wasn't too convinced, but after his first season his attributes developed pretty quickly, and in his third season he ousted Mario Balotelli as our 1st choice poacher and never looked back. Still only 25 so there's a lot more to come from him in goalscoring terms.
His overall record for us so far is 289 appearances, scoring 299 goals and making 77 assists. That save ended up getting corrupted so I stopped playing it for a while, however I was able to get it sorted with help from the SI boffins so I will dip into again in the future to see just how many he'll score before he calls it a day.
There are quite some impressive players among there. I only have one. Probably soon a second one.
My best striker ever was a player from Lithuania: Ginataras Pinkevicius. He managed to score 37 times out of 34 games, but if counted all other matches he played (domestic cup, CL, etc.) he scored 59 times. I didn't win the Champions League that year. I don't have much of a history when it comes to winning Champions Leagues anyway, but it was the save in which he spawned that I won the Champions League for the first time ever.
I only have a screenshot of one season of him (the moment he started breaking every record for me) and that was only his 'history' page. I never did expect that he would become my best striker of all times.
Currently I have a giant Dutch prospect coming up: Michael Pronk, who is too a newgen. I played LLM in Holland and this is my second season in the highest Dutch division, the Eredivisie. I managed to get to the final (thanks to great drawings every time) in the domestic cup and therefore got in to the Europa League (in which I was defeated in the groups). In my second season I decided to hire Pronk from Arsenal. With a team that would have to play well to get among the first 9, I became a title candidate together with Ajax and Heerenveen (the other team I manage). With three games left, I am currently ranked first with my other team and Heerenveen as second. Pronk is the main reason I am doing so well and has already more assists on his name than Pinkevicius ever made in one season and is nearing his amount of goal scoring in the domestic competition. With 29 goals out of 31 games he is on his way to become one of the best strikers in my FM history. He already surpassed every other good striker I've had and has only Pinkevicius to beat.
Mohammed Amine Diffalah (Algeria) and Davide Postiglione (Italy) also deserve to be mentioned. Postiglione was Pinkevicius 'second man' in a 4-2-2-2 formation a long time ago. Although he wasn't even close to Pinkevicius' quality he played fairly consistent and would certainly, at least, be nominated in my dream team. It wasn't unusual for him to score around 15 tot 20 goals a season. In addition to the goal-scoring-monster next to him, that was pretty impressive. Diffalah was no where near Pinkevicius or Pronk's quality and is far more easily compared to Postiglione. Diffalah was a lone striker in a 4-1-1-3-1 formation with a DM. Even though Pinkevicius is my best striker, it's difficult to say whether he was also the best player I've ever had. Czech newgen, Ladislav Koci (DM) and Ladislav Zapletal (MC) are right up there too. It was thanks to Koci and Zapletal that Diffalah became as successful as he did.
I hate myself for never making any screen shots of Zapletal, Diffalah, Pinekvicius, De Wit, Koci and Postiglione or any other 'legendary' player from my pre-FM '10 times. I haven't had any players getting near their quality in FM '10 and beyond. Not on those positions at least. Out of memory of Koci and Pinkevicius, I named my 'second' manager (I always play with two managers) to my two best, ever, players. Celinka Pinkevicius-Koci. If I, any day, decide to play with a third manager, I usually name him or her after Zapletal or De Wit. My best ever midfielder and best ever central defender.
Cherna samba cm01/02. without doubt the best striker iv ever had

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
How It Is Done continued...
During the test, you may be alone in the scanner room. But the technologist will watch you through a window. You will be able to talk with the technologist through a two-way intercom.
If contrast material is needed, the technologist will put it in an intravenous (IV) line in your arm. The material may be given over 1 to 2 minutes. Then more MRI scans are done.
An MRI test usually takes 30 to 60 minutes but can take as long as 2 hours.
How It Feels
You will not have pain from the magnetic field or radio waves used for the MRI test. The table you lie on may feel hard, and the room may be cool. You may be tired or sore from lying in one position for a long time.
If a contrast material is used, you may feel some coolness and flushing as it is put into your IV.
In rare cases, you may feel:
- A tingling feeling in the mouth if you have metal dental fillings.
- Warmth in the area being examined. This is normal. Tell the technologist if you have nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, pain, burning, or breathing problems.
There are no known harmful effects from the strong magnetic field used for MRI. But the magnet is very powerful. The magnet may affect pacemakers, artificial limbs, and other medical devices that contain iron. The magnet will stop a watch that is close to the magnet. Any loose metal object has the risk of causing damage or injury if it gets pulled toward the strong magnet.
Metal parts in the eyes can damage the retina . If you may have metal fragments in the eye, an X-ray of the eyes may be done before the MRI. If metal is found, the MRI will not be done.
Iron pigments in tattoos or tattooed eyeliner can cause skin or eye irritation.
An MRI can cause a burn with some medicine patches. Be sure to tell your health professional if you are wearing a patch.
There is a slight risk of an allergic reaction if contrast material is used during the MRI. But most reactions are mild and can be treated using medicine. There also is a slight risk of an infection at the IV site.

After developing small-scale web applications for about 5 years in the late 90s and early 2000s, I decided to take a new career path. However, I've got the programming "bug" again and for the last couple of months have been aggressively refreshing on old, once-familiar technologies and learning new-to-me ones like Python/Django and jQuery. And after getting back into it, I forgot how much I missed it and now want to seriously consider pursuing development again as a career.
The first task I set for myself (after my "phase zero" programming re-education) was coming up with realistic and useful projects I could work towards completing to build a portfolio. I've drawn up diagrams for the high-level frameworks and workflows for a handful of such projects, and in my mind I can see them clearly -- objectives, design, interfaces, data models, all the conceptual things that define a project and make the actual coding easier. So I have goals to work towards and motivation to complete them.
It's the next step that I'm having trouble with. I know how I want my apps to look and work, and I know what tools I need to learn to make them happen. My problem is that I'm torn between "I want to learn how to do X and Y things in A and B languages" and "I need to focus on mastering A and then B so I can properly do X and Y" -- impatience vs. diligence.
Right now I fear learning one language only to forget it when I move on to the next one. Recently I learned the fundamentals of Python and developed a couple of applications that helped me learn the language and become comfortable with the reference docs to improve those apps as I learned more. Now I'm learning Django so I can translate that knowledge to web apps. But when I start to learn jQuery and refresh on HTML5, JavaScript and CSS3, I don't want the Python/Django knowledge to become stale.
How do you combat the impatience of wanting to see your finished work and balance it with the diligence of properly learning the tools and methodologies (like testing) you know you need to see the projects through to completion?

WELLSBURG - The Brooke County Commission heard Tuesday of efforts by local Workforce West Virginia Career Centers to put local residents to work and made plans to consider an ordinance requiring residents to post their new citystyle addresses.
Rosemary Guida, executive director of the Northern Panhandle Workforce Investment Board - a regional employment and training agency - told the commission West Virginia has received a slight increase in federal funding at a time when all but nine states have seen a cut in funding.
That has helped the centers in Weirton, Warwood and New Martinsville this year to serve about 12,000 Northern Panhandle residents, including many workers laid off by RG Steel and Ormet.
She said the natural gas industry employs many truck drivers, equipment operators and welders and offers excellent pay and benefits, so the agency and others have been working to connect industry officials and potential leaders to potential employees.
Guida said one barrier is that natural gas companies are advertising for experienced workers, so the agency and several area community colleges are working to provide local residents training through a $3.8 million federal ShaleNET grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor. She said the grant will expire in June but is expected to be extended.
Guida said with the help of county Commissioner Marty Bartz, who also is assistant superintendent of Brooke County Schools, she visited high schools in the Northern Panhandle to share information about opportunities in the natural gas industry and the required education and training.
She said participation has been disappointingly low for the Individual Training Account program, which is offered to young adults, ages 19-21, with a parent who is unemployed or laid off. Through the program, participants receive up to $4,750 per year for tuition, books and travel expenses to undergo training for in-demand occupations.
Guida said 168 area residents with disabilities, ages 14-24, participated in Training 4 Our Future, an 11-week program in which they learned job search skills, including composing resumes and preparing for interviews, and built their own computers, which they could keep afterwards.
For information about those programs and other services, call (304) 231-1170.
The commission also made plans to meet at 10 a.m. Dec. 27 to consider adoption of an ordinance requiring residents to post their new citystyle addresses.
The ordinance was suggested by Sheriff Richard Ferguson, who has headed efforts to assign new citystyle addresses to unincorporated areas of the county. The move has been mandated by the federal government to ease delivery by postal carriers and response by police, firefighters and ambulance crews.
The ordinance establishes a $500 fine for those who fail to comply and allows residents to seek changes to their street's name but with some conditions. It states new street names assigned through the citystyle addressing efforts may not be changed for two years. After that, 80 percent of property owners along a road may petition the county commission for a new name.e.
The commission's regular meeting time falls on Christmas Day that week and the board wanted to consider the ordinance before Ferguson's term expires.
The commission last week asked whether two readings or a public hearing were required for the proposed ordinance and were advised by Prosecutor David B. Cross one reading is sufficient but the public should be notified in advance.
The commission also:
Agreed to accept letters of interest in a seat on the Brooke County Public Service District Board for the next two weeks. Terry Bonaventura of Follansbee, who holds the seat, has asked to be reappointed.
Heard from family members of the late Jack McCoy, who complained that a matter involving his estate hasn't been resolved since it was reopened two years ago. Bartz said attorney Wayne Mielke, who was appointed to serve as fiduciary supervisor for the matter, told him complications have delayed it.
The commission agreed to appoint another fiduciary supervisor at the request of Jim McCoy, Jack's brother.
Accepted the resignations of Matthew "Bull" Rogerson, a Brooke County sheriff's deputy for 16 years; and his son, Scott, who also is a sheriff's deputy. Matthew, who also served as the department's prevention and resource officer for several years, is retiring from law enforcement and plans to work as a private investigator, while Scott has accepted another job.
Chief Sheriff's Deputy Chuck Jackson said he will be hiring three deputies to fill the positions and his own after he assumes the role of sheriff, to which he was elected, on Jan. 1. He said Capt. John Eckersberg, a sheriff's deputy for about 30 years, will serve as his chief deputy.

To the editor:
I haven't heard much about Shane Thompson, the Republican candidate for state Senate, but what I heard recently disturbs me.
Thompson went to Washington to lobby for stimulus dollars for his company. How can he give us rhetoric about big government when he goes to Washington, D.C., and asks for our tax dollars to help himself? That seems hypocritical. Not too many folks in Southeast Ohio have been lobbyists in Washington. Our small businesses certainly don't have lobbyists.
But they do have a strong voice in state Sen. Lou Gentile. We need to keep Gentile in the state Senate.

I'm wondering, does anyone have any suggestions to defend against SSLstrip particularly?
Here are my recommendations for what users can to defend themselves against SSLstrip, Firesheep, and similar attacks:
Here are my recommendations for what web sites can do to protect their users against Firesheep, SSLstrip, and similar attacks:
On a different topic, administrators of mail servers can protect their users by enabling SSL/TLS protection for IMAP (or, better yet, requiring use of SSL/TLS on all connections) and by enabling STARTTLS on their SMTP servers.
Using Privoxy rule:
will redirect you to HTTPS if a site is whitelisted. In the example www.foo.org and foo.org and subdomain.foo.org can only use HTTPS because the proxy redirects it. If there's an SSLStrip mitm then the page would just load and load and load....it won't be reachable. I think this would be a very good solution (fixme).
When you visit SSL secured web site or ssh to host, you accept certificate. If certificate is not validated with public Certificate authority servers, or any local CA, your browser warns you about the wrong certificate. So if you want to secure your traffic from ARP attacks, you have to use valid SSL certificate and don't browse web sites warning about invalid certificate. With SSH, if certificate was changed, SSH will inform you about public key change.
SSLStrip merely redirects to http versions of the page. From the server side, you could introduce things like messages or images that state "your browser has been hijacked" or similar. If you are in a controlled environment this can be handled with an inline transparent web proxy that replaces all http content in this way. Similar to the forcetls etc answer, but handling the problem on the server side. This way, you don't have to worry about pebkac and unauthorised devices. Just a couple of thoughts.

For $A\subset [n]$ denote by $a_i$ the $i^{th}$ smallest element of $A$.
For two $k$-element sets, $A,B\subset [n]$, we say that $A\le B$ if $a_i\le b_i$ for every $i$.
A $k$-uniform hypergraph ${\mathcal H}\subset [n]$ is called a {\em shift-chain} if for any hyperedges, $A, B \in {\mathcal H}$, we have $A\le B$ or $B\le A$. (So a shift-chain has at most $k(n-k)+1$ hyperedges.)
We say that a hypergraph ${\mathcal H}$ has Property B if we can color its vertices with two colors such that no hyperedge is monochromatic.
Is it true that shift-chains have Property B if $k$ is large enough?
$\bf Remarks.$ The problem was investigated on the 1st Emlektabla Workshop for some partial results, see the booklet.
The question is motivated by decomposition of multiple coverings of the plane by translates of convex shapes, there are many open questions in this area. (For more, see my brand new thesis.)
For $k=2$ there is a trivial counterexample: (12),(13),(23).
A very magical counterexample was given for $k=3$ by Radoslav Fulek with a computer program:
If we allow the hypergraph to be the union of two shift-chains (with the same order), then there is a counterexample for any $k$.
$\bf Edit.$ I crossposted the question at theoryoverflow.

If an OSS project is not backed (for example, by the Apache Foundation), how is the OSS license upheld?
My specific scenario is this: if I create an GPLd mobile application with a non-commercial transformations clause, what's to actually stop someone from re-releasing it as "Pro" and charging for it?
I assume the owner of the store (Apple/Google/MS) aren't going to uphold licenses on my behalf. Would it come down to me personally having to pay for a lawyer (which seems like a lot of effort to protect a good will gesture)?

This is to all soldiers everywhere.
Think about the way your government treats you. You are treated human until you sign its contract. Then you are just a number, nothing more.
Think about how many times they have left you. When a mission goes wrong, what do they do? Blame you, punish you, just plain forget you.
How many times have soldiers sat in a prison for their mistakes? You mean nothing to them.
When will you stand up and tell them we will fight your war of greed and control no more? Our only mission is to fight for God and country.

Laptop not booting, and CAPS lock blinking.
I am using an HP Pavilion g6-1125sw laptop. The laptop is about 5 months old and 2 days ago something odd happened. Let me start from the beginning; I was changing the graphics properties of a game and when I pressed "Proceed with changes", the screen went blank but the computer was still working. So I switched it off (took the battery out) and booted again, and it went as far as to my wallpaper and I was able to view my wallpaper and all for a about minute then screen went blank again. I tried using HP advanced diagnostic tools that come up just when you boot up, but even with that the screen went blank.
The next day the laptop didn't even boot up, the fans were whirring but not the BIOS screen came up. The CAPS lock button is blinking in intervals of two, the wireless button is orange and thats it. Its been like this ever since. Any suggestions? Please! T
Thanks in advance.

Re: Laptop not booting, and CAPS lock blinking.
I have a Hp Pavillion DV4-1225dx laptop. I have sent this in for repairs a half a dozen times. My latest issue was the caps lock and numbers lock blinking. It would blink a series of 4 times. I thought it was the motherboard, again. It meant the graphics controller not functioning. Hp said they no longer service this model. I just knew I was screwed. Every computer shop I checked cost too much to fix, I might as well by a new laptop. Then, I browsed the web through my HTC evo looking for solutions. Someone advised me to remove one of the 2GB memory from the memory port. I removed the top memory stick and when I powerded it up, it was the same thing. Then I removed the bottom stick and only left the top stick in, and it powered up normally. I couldn't believe this totally fixed my issue. There is still something wrong, but for the time being........ It works perfect. I don't have 4 GB right now because I removed the 2GB stick, but I'm going to buy 1 -4GB stick and put it in the slot that works and it will give it 4GB, just like it supposed to be. I hope this works for everyone, My laptop sat up in my top closet for months. I'm actually using my DV4-1225dx right now.
Re: Laptop not booting, and CAPS lock blinking.
Hello All!!
So I rarely post on forums...to be honest I never do, but I had to create an account and tell you how I managed to fix this annoying problem.
So I have a HP G56 model 220CA and yesterday morning I woke up and my screen was completely black. It was beeping 1 light every 5 seconds, for about 15 minutes. Anyway I searched and searched through forums, and the general consensus was that my CPU had failed, and that I would have to send it in to HP. Anyway, I called HP support, got on the phone with one of there tech agents, he asked me my name and model number, and than asked me what was happening. I explained, and with no troubleshoot what soever he told me that my motherboard was friend and that it is in my best interest to have it shipped and pay $329.00 to replace my motherboard.
I was a little confused on how he was able to diagnose so quickly that my mobo was fried, but I went along with it anyway. I told him that most likely I would not be sending it into him, and he was confused and didn't understand why. I told him that I had searched for about 3 hours, and found about 30 people with the same problem I am having, and that this is a common problem with HP's and that I am not going to throw money at **bleep**, and exspect it to smell like roses. Anyway in the end I told him I am buying a lenovo and to go to hell....
Well, after that I was pretty much pissed right the hell off, my warranty ended 1 month ago, and I wasn't putting any more money into this laptop. So then I rememberd something I had done along time ago with my Xbox and it actually worked when it was red ringing... So I took my laptop, wrapped it tight into one of my sweaters, and let it run for about 20-30 minutes... I came back 30 minutes later, it was right hot, but the computer had actually powered itself off.... well I then tryed to power it back on, and voila ... it works... hope this may help some of you. Good luck!
Re: Laptop not booting, and CAPS lock blinking.
I also reseated the RAM before hand and that didn't work either, and I did a hard reset with the battery, and that failed as well... I am not saying this method will work for you, and its really not 'textbook' but it worked for me..

Please note: All computers and laptops must be ordered through ITS or been given ITS approval, per Purchasing Policy 2.10.2. Please email email@example.com for more information.
- General Information
- Who Qualifies for a Computer?
- Acquisition & Support
- Replacement & Redeployment
- Purchase & Replacement of Grant-Funded Equipment
- Purchase & Replacement of Computer Lab or Special Purpose Equipment
- Exceptions
- Responsibility for Equipment
Information Technology Services (ITS) is implementing guidelines for replacing desktop and laptop computers on a three (3) year cycle as allowed by funding and as dictated by the University's lease agreement.
The overall purpose of the program is to ensure that computing resources on campus are up-to-date. The goals of the Computer Replacement Program (CRP) are to:
- Ensure that all tenured and tenure-track faculty and benefits-based staff members who use computing resources in their positions have access to a computer of sufficient capability to support basic computing needs* in fulfillment of their work responsibilities;
- Ensure that appropriate computing resources are available in departmental computing facilities and university offices in support of USD's mission;
- Ensures that desktop computer systems have sufficient capacity and compatibility to meet each department and school's operational needs;
- Establish a centralized budget which provides basic computing resources for university employees, thereby providing relief to area budgets and reducing reliance on year-end surplus and current fund contingency;
- Implement minimum standards for computing resources on campus increasing the supportability of the institution's installed base of equipment;
- Maintains ongoing compatibility of computer systems with the computer applications used within each department and school at USD;
- Streamline the specification, acquisition, and deployment of new equipment and re-deployment or disposal of old equipment.
* "Basic Computing Needs" include word processing, electronic messaging, Library access, Internet (web) access, spreadsheet, simple database, and basic institutional data access. Other specialized needs, such as secondary computers, advanced hardware, or Research needs, and other specialized needs must be funded from departmental budgets or from research funds.These guidelines shall apply to the replacement cycle for all desktop and laptop computers at USD. Information Technology Services has authority and is responsible for the acquisition and support of computer replacements.
Provided they require computing resources in their position and that their current computer is at minimum three years old, the following individuals are eligible to participate in the CRP:
- Permanent, benefits-based administrator or staff employee
- Tenured or tenure-track faculty member
The CRP will fund only one computer (desktop or laptop) per faculty or staff member. When a laptop computer is provided from the replacement budget, it will not normally include peripheral devices (external keyboard, monitor, mouse, docking station, extra batteries, etc.).
Please note that under this program, computers are assigned to the benefits based position, not the employee. Computers CANNOT be swapped unless ITS approves. This is extremely important, as we must be able to easily locate computers when the lease is nearing the end. This also guarantees that each position will receive a brand new computer every three years.
Computers are the property of the university. If a faculty or staff member leaves the university, the leased computer assigned to them must be returned to ITS shortly after the person's last day. We will reset, update our inventory, and reassign it if the position is to be replaced by another person. If a faculty member is departing the university, the computer must be turned into ITS as all new faculty members will receive new computer of their choice. ITS will contact the departing employee's supervisor regarding status of the position and computer.
All computers purchased by any department or school at the University of San Diego (USD), are property of USD, unless otherwise stipulated by specific written contract through external funding agencies. ITS provides computer technology support for departments and schools throughout USD that meet ITS"s software and hardware standards. All computers meeting the standards will be supported by the appropriate personnel in the department of Desktop Support Services/Information Technology Services.
During each budget planning cycle, ITS will assess desktops in each department and recommend replacement needs. Once the computers that will be replaced have been identified, ITS will notify School/Department Representatives and/or the affected faculty/staff that equipment has been targeted for replacement. Notification will be given approximately one-two months prior to the scheduled replacement month. A list of the currently available standard configurations will be available at http://www.sandiego.edu/its/orders/specs.php
Acquisition and support procedures:
ITS will:
- Define a standard computer and determine the technical features required on USD desktop and laptop computers to meet the specific business needs of USD.
- Recommend and approve purchases for the standard computer according to applicable rules as established by USD's Policy and Procedure manual, Purchasing and Financial Policies, No. 2.10.2 Purchasing.
- Select appropriate computer equipment and provide assistance and network resources so that the computers assigned to USD offices have sufficient capacity to meet the needs of assigned job responsibilities.
- Maintain an accurate inventory of all University computers in order to track computer assets and identify computer equipment slated for replacement in a way that supports resource planning and gives priority in future replacement cycles to those computers not upgraded or replaced on the normal 3-year cycle due to funding limitations.
- Schedule, coordinate, and execute the replacement process while complying with applicable rules and regulations for the acquisition and redeployment of the equipment involved in replacement activities.
- Computing resources placed through the CRP are installed by the Technology Support Services department on a priority basis. Every effort will be made to provide a flexible installation schedule that causes minimal workflow interruption.
- Communicate and arrange the logistics needed to complete the replacement processes. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Providing notification to School/Department Representatives, in a timely manner, the need for replacements and informing them of the known aspects of applications that may be affected by those changes.
- Working with each department's contact personnel to facilitate the replacement process while maintaining continuity of critical business functions.
- Working with appropriate department personnel to test equipment and make necessary adjustments to applications as required by the replacement process.
- Arranging for or providing training or instructions as necessary to assist users in transitioning to the new equipment.
- Developing as-needed permanent or temporary "workarounds", consistent with meeting technological and security needs to ensure continuity of business essential "legacy software" that is not compatible with incoming computer/guidelines and cannot be replaced with compatible software consistent with replacement schedules. (Such workarounds are to be documented in writing by Information Technology and the business unit(s) involved to include the business needs, technologies involved, plan for permanent resolution and contingency plan in case the workaround is invalidated due to future technological or business needs.)
School or Division Representatives and Budget Approvers:
Each Division/School/Department must designate a Representative/Budget Approver for their group. The Representative must:
- Verify the computer inventory to be replaced each year, including submission of any corrections or additions to ITS. If something is overlooked, it can either be replaced during the next purchase cycle, or the department can submit a "new use" purchase request.
- Choose a replacement for each of the computers to be replaced that year or work with their group's faculty/staff to select a replacement configuration. Replacement equipment will be selected from the lists of standard equipment provided by ITS. It is not required that a Macintosh be replaced with a Macintosh or a PC with a PC. Once the Division/School/Department Representative has submitted their request for replacement computers, ITS will place the orders and schedule installations.
- Approve the financial impact of the replacement selections made by the faculty/staff, as well as any exceptions to standards or new use purchases.
- Share responsibility to contain costs related to the central Computer Replacement Project account.
- Division/School/Department budget authorizers and others who approve computer purchases should carefully consider the functional needs of the user, and exercise prudent judgment when selecting computer models.
- Except for those with specialized needs, we should minimize the purchase of more expensive laptops and larger flat-panel displays. Most users' needs are met by ITS' standard computer configurations.
Configuration Selection:
Faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to discuss the standard configurations with their area Desktop Support Technician prior to submitting a request form so that the equipment requested will most effectively meet their business needs and work requirements. No changes or modifications can be made to a request after the equipment has been approved and ordered. The employee's department will be responsible for purchase of any external hardware items for the system if additional capabilities become necessary after the fact.
Platform Selection:
Technology Support Services fully supports both Macintosh and PC standard configurations. The choice between Macintosh and PC should be motivated strictly by the applications that are required in the job function.
Equipment purchased or replaced by the replacement budget is the property of the institution, not of the department or individual. Departments must surrender a like computer for each computer installed under CRP. This includes any special monitors, keyboards, add-on cards, etc. that were purchased as a part of the original CRP purchase. Departments may not repurpose existing departmental computers within the department to expand the number of computers supported. If the department wishes to keep the old equipment for other uses, a request must be made in writing. Recycled equipment will not be considered as part of the 3-year replacement cycle.
All computers slated for replacement will be assessed by Information Technology Services to determine the feasibility of redeploying units. If units are deemed appropriate for redeployment, Information Technology Services will:
- Identify units in Information Technology Services' redeployment inventory list;
- Clean and re-image computers;
- Load appropriate anti-virus software on computer;
- Assign to next faculty or staff on the "In-line for Used/Refurbished Computers" list;
- Deliver and install computer to requesting faculty or staff – joining to USD's network;
- Transfer the asset in Computer Inventory list;
If units are deemed inappropriate for redeployment, Information Technology will:
- Clean computer and return to lease company, or
- Cleans computer and breakdown (take apart) in order to identify working parts
- Recycle parts to refurbish/repair computer other units
In some cases ITS will purchase and keep some computers off the lease so that we can utilize them in our recycled program and provide them to departments for adjunct use or special project use. These computers are available for sale to the departments at a low fair market value.
When a computer is due back to the leasing company, departments can inquire about the possibility of purchasing the computer of the lease at fair market value. All computers purchased off the lease by departments must still be utilized only for university business and must continue to stay on the university computer network. We DO NOT sell computers to faculty and staff for personal use (this includes software programs). This is against our policy.
ITS offers and encourages the lease option of laptops (instead of desktops) so that faculty and staff who need to perform university related business or any of their teaching related assignments from home, they are able to transport the laptop easily between work and home.
Individuals and departments pursuing grants for computing equipment or grants that include computing equipment should consult with the Information Technology Services prior to the purchase for configuration approval. Since many grant-funded projects are temporary in nature, grant funded equipment is not automatically placed on the replacement cycle. Computing equipment that is purchased with grant funds will become part of the computer inventory of the University and will be installed, networked and repaired by Desktop Support Services staff.
Funding for replacement of grant-funded equipment is subject to agreement between the purchasing department and Dean's Office, the Provost Office, and Information Technology Services.
Faculty members with funds from research awards or startup funds may use these funds to purchase computers and equipment exceeding the norm of one per employee for office or lab use. The equipment belongs to the University and is not placed on the replacement cycle. Faculty members are expected to consult with the Director of Desktop Support Services or their area technician prior to purchasing computer equipment with research or startup funds.
Computer purchases funded through grants, external programs or other budget resources will be inventoried and will adhere to USD and ITS policies unless otherwise stated in the granting agencies contract.
Purchase of new computer lab equipment, research stations, or other special purpose computer station must be approved by the Dean's Office, the Provost Office, and Information Technology Services.
Funding for replacement of departmental computer lab, research, or other special purpose equipment is subject to agreement between the purchasing department and the Dean's Office, the Provost Office, and Information Technology Services.
In the event standard equipment does not meet a specific computer resource requirement, such as in the requirement for a specific hardware platform, the department may request an exception to the standard. Requested upgrades to the standard configuration will not be processed without approval from their area representative. Departments/Schools must fund every exception/upgrade. Exceptions are granted on an as-needed basis at the discretion of the department or school representative.
Exceptions to this computer replacement policy, including compelling business needs, should meet the following criteria and will be evaluated as follows:
- Technical Justification – Evaluated based on documented manufacturer's technical requirements for hardware, software and peripherals.
- Cost or Resource Justification – Evaluated based on verifiable cost or resource savings.
- Legal or Other Mandate – Evaluated based on technical, cost or other factors identified by the request initiator with approval as needed.
- Machine Malfunction – Machines that malfunction due to user-created errors or mistreatment will be dealt with on an as-needed basis. In such cases, the ITS Help Desk will work with the business units and their administration to resolve issues involved and, when appropriate, will assign temporary desktop computers as needed and based on the availability of suitable machines.
Each employee is responsible for taking reasonable precautions in regard to USD owned computer equipment. Employees or their departments will be held responsible for damage to such equipment arising out of their negligence or misconduct. Equipment should remain in the location where originally installed unless other arrangements are made with ITS. Individuals or departments experiencing loss or damage to University owned computers should contact the ITS Help Desk.
If a faculty member or employee is leaving the university (or taking a long unpaid Leave of Absence), the USD-owned desktop or laptop they have been assigned to must remain with the university. Before the faculty member or employee's last day of work, the department should notify their area technician that the person is leaving. Any file transfers or other work can be done by the technician at that time.
Computers in general can remain in the office if the person will be replaced, since computers are assigned per position, not employee. If the position will not be filled, the computer must be turned back into ITS. In the case of faculty members, the computers (especially laptops) must be turned back into ITS, since if a new faculty member is hired, they mostly likely will have a different computer preference. There are some cases where a desktop can remain for a new faculty member, but in general, a new computer is provided for all new faculty. It is important that your area technician be contacted when a faculty member is leaving, so that proper file transfer of any personal or research files is completed beforehand.
For computers that are not part of the computer replacement program and were purchased by department or grant funds, or are recycled computers, these can remain within your offices indefinitely. However, if you wish for them to be replaced at any point with your own funds or through the recycled computer program, the old computer must be turned into ITS for proper use or disposal. Computers purchased with department or grant funds can remain within your offices indefinitely and passed around within your offices while the machines are functioning. (Note: Some grants have strict guidelines for computers purchased with grant funds; such as, returning the computer to the grantor at the end of the life of the grant, etc.)

Where does the custom not to say Tachanun on a Yahrtzeit come from?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Taamei Haminhagim (citing Maaseh Yechiel) comments that "when it comes to saying Tachanun, we omit it based on any possible reason, since 'it is better to recite fewer prayers with more concentration [than the reverse].'"
So presumably a yahrtzeit, whether of one's own parents or of a prominent tzaddik, is such a reason.
I used to Daven in a Shul where they almost never said Tachanun as they always found some Yarzeit. One day they had no Yarzeit and they said Tachanun. One of the Alte Yiden in the back Klapped on his table and said "Vus Far Ah Yom Tov Iz Heint?"
The persian jews have such a minhag when there is an avel (c'v's' had a close reltive die within the seven days). We don's say Tachnun when he is in the minyan.

I've bought an 11" MacBook Air a month ago. The 9 came out from the keyboard after few hours and I couldn't believe it. They gave me a new MacBook Air. One month later I'm using it and today the T is too strong to press and I can hardly type it.
I had another Mac before, and it lasted for years and I had no issues with the keyboard. This laptop never hit the floor; nothing's happened to it.
I can't believe I have to come back to the Apple Store and tell them the keyboard is broken again. What do you think about it? Is a line defect?

I think this should answer your question: http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/p/4751/24616.aspx
Basically you should just create a vertex and index buffer yourself (you can wrap them up in a nice class that implements IDrawable ofc).
Once you have a vertex and index buffer you can draw your model like in this MSDN article:
I have been working on 2D game 2y ago and had to draw shapes like thet. You could look what I have done Project - Squared
Take a look at GraphicsDrawer class under SquaredEngine.Graphics, it will allow you to draw some basic meshes, triangles, lines, quads, ellipses, etc.
You could easily make this to work in 3D env.

Light Spinach and Feta Frittata
Spinach, scallions feta and eggs make a fabulous breakfast or a low carb lunch with a Greek salad on the side.
To make this low fat frittata I've replaced most of the eggs with egg whites. For convenience I usually buy Trader Joe's cage free liquid egg whites, but you can use Egg Beaters or separate them yourself if you prefer. When buying parmesan cheese, I like to buy Parmigiano-Reggiano, it has a sharp, strong-flavoured, nutty taste. Inferior versions of parmesan can have a bitter taste.
Light Spinach and Feta Frittata

Calories: 140.6 • Fat: 6.8 • Carbs: 5.5 • Fiber: 2.2 g • Sugar: 0.3 g • Protein 15.2
- 2 whole eggs

Hold a large plate over the pan and invert the frittata onto the plate, then slide it back into the pan. Cook about 5 minutes longer. Serve hot.

CHARLESTON - Madison Juszczak must have felt like she was walking the red carpet at a Hollywood premiere Saturday.
After winning the West Virginia Class AA-A No. 4 Singles championship, the Oak Glen freshman emerged through a court door to a throng of well-wishers all waiting to congratulate her.
Following a season in which she lost just once, Juszczak was ready for the limelight.

STATE CHAMP — Oak Glen freshman Madison Juszczak receives her West Virginia Class AA-A state championship plaque at No. 4 Singles from West Virginia tournament director Mike Tompkins.
And after helping lead the Golden Bears volleyball team to a state championship last fall, Juszczak earned this one herself.
"It's nice," she humbly said after accepting the state championship plaque. "This was my goal.
"(Winning a state championship) was in my mind, but I didn't try to think about it. I just wanted to take everything match by match."
"All my teammates are very disciplined and we all support each other."
Oak Glen coach Ken Keller saw championship potential in Juszczak from the get-go.
"She came in already knowing how to play tennis and she meshed well with the other girls," he said. "The other girls stepped up their games because of her.
"She's just an all-around good player."
Juszczak topped Keyser's Kari Amtower 6-3, 6-1 to win the Ohio Valley's only title on another rain-plagued day.
Oak Glen's girls' No. 3 Doubles tandem and Wheeling Central's boys' Doubles duo both fell in straight sets in their championship matches.
With the rain that moved through early Saturday, action began at the Tennis Indoor Center, across the street from the Kanawha City Community Center's Schoenbaum Courts.
Later in the morning, moments after all eight outdoor courts were squeegeed and blown dry, the skies opened up again, relegating all matches to the four indoor courts for the day.
Juszczak jumped out strong against Amtower and continued to pour it on during the second set.
"I just took things game by game," she said.
Amtower committed numerous unforced errors and looked like she was losing steam as Juszczak seemed to pick up stamina.
"I aimed for the corners and tried to run her down a bit," Juszczak said.
As Juszczak wrapped up her victory, the Maroon Knights' Daniel Lee and Gus Schmidt took the court against Charleston Catholic's Scott Standish and Zach Casto.
Central was simply overmatched in a 6-1, 6-1 defeat.
Despite the loss, Central coach Peggy Dailer was pleased with the effort and is ready to welcome Schmidt, a freshman, back next season.
Lee is a senior.
"They really played hard and had a good time playing," Dailer said. "I think they're really happy with how they played."
Dailer said the maturation process the duo went through during the season was exceptional.
"They really got better playing together," she said. "Gus started to serve better and they really gelled."
The day's final AA-A match of the day pitted the Golden Bears' Madison Hill and Lauren Pizzurro against Charleston Catholic's Anna Whelan and Jenny Borman.
The Irish, the tournament's boys' and girls' champs again, picked up a 6-1, 6-3 victory. Juszczak topped Borman in the singles semis.
"I'm proud of them and the whole team," Keller said. "It was a good season."

Hybrid ORs are becoming a standard part of cardiovascular programs with the potential to transform an institute's cardiac patient care.
There is no standard model for building and operating a hybrid OR. Each institution will need to customize the room to their unique circumstances. Medtronic has developed a best practices educational guide including PowerPoint presentation, video and written case studies to support key decisions in the process.
The views expressed in the video and case studies are those of each individual institution and are not the views of Medtronic. Results and experiences may vary.
Early team involvement, strong space planning yield smooth construction process for New York hospital.
Documented experience and key learnings from institutions who have built hybrid ORs.

MOUNT PLEASANT -The 110th anniversary of the Peoples National Bank of Mount Pleasant was celebrated on March 12 with light refreshments at each of the bank's three offices, which are located in Mount Pleasant, Adena and Dillonvale.
Founded on March 12, 1903, by Michael Gallagher, the bank is one of Ohio's oldest banks and is Jefferson County's only locally owned bank. In the early 1950s, an Adena resident, Robert Walker, became CEO and chairman of the board of directors, serving for more than 50 years. His daughter, Elizabeth Walker Campbell, now serves as president. The members of the board of directors are all from Jefferson County.
During the first years of existence, it served as a payroll office for the local coal mines. Throughout its history, it has successfully weathered the many ups and downs of the local and national economy. The bank survived through the Great Depression when more than 9,000 banks in the United States failed, and has remained stable during the banking turmoil of recent years, inspiring loyalty and confidence from its patrons.

ANNIVERSARY MARKED — The Peoples National Bank of Mount Pleasant has marked its 110th birthday. Helping to commemorate the occasion were, from left, Gail Fisher, senior vice president; Robert C. Hargrave, CEO; and Elizabeth W. Campbell, president. - Contributed
In addition to providing banking services in three neighborhood offices, the bank has expanded its reach by entering into relationships with approximately 35 automobile dealers in the Upper Ohio Valley to provide indirect lending services to assist their customers in their purchase of motor vehicles. Friendly, personal service and prompt, locally made decisions are an important part of the bank's philosophy.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- SUNY Geneseo got some good news on this first day of the new academic year. Washington Monthly magazine has ranked the college second overall among the nation's master's universities for its contribution to the public good across three broad categories: social mobility, research and promoting an ethic of service to country.
The magazine's 2013 rankings include 684 colleges in its master's universities category, which includes schools that offer comprehensive undergraduate programs, some master's programs but few, if any, doctoral programs. Geneseo offers master's degrees in education and accounting.
The magazine defines social mobility as recruiting and graduating low-income students and helping them earn degrees. The research category comprises the production of cutting-edge scholarship and students who go on to earn doctorates. Service was defined as encouraging students to give something back to their country. The overall score is calculated by combining the scores of all three categories.
Geneseo fared particularly well in the research category, ranking seventh in the number of alumni who go on to earn a doctorate and doubling research expenditures from 2012; in the community service participation and hours served category, ranking 34th in the nation; in the Peace Corps category, ranking 13th in the nation in the number of alumni who serve in the Peace Corps, relative to size; and in the ROTC category, ranking 397th in the percentage of students who serve in ROTC. The college also ranked 236th in the country in actual versus predicted graduation rates related to the net price of attendance.
Washington Monthly has published its rankings since 2005. View the complete 2013 rankings.

Could there be a way to have "random/mystery" deals from reputable sources allowed again?
A deal was posted by someone else earlier today and subsequently deleted because is was for a random t-shirt. I have seen other similar deals from reputable sources get posted and deleted in the past (thinkgeek & tanga to name a couple).
Maybe it is time to rethink the total ban and figure out a way to have some of these deals posted in the future.
13 Answers answer
Hey @natedogg828. I don't see that happening in the foreseeable future. It was a hot mess to deal with when we did allow it. We want to be able to help when possible and its hard to interject when you paid for a potential letdown.
The possibility for randomized shirts or items that you know somewhat to expect might come about but for sure not mystery boxes.
@prettywootprincess: I remember the hot mess of a certain dealer of mystery boxes (even go back and read the comments from time to time). I absolutely understand not wanting to include mystery box type deals but randoms of a speciific thing (shirts & hair clips as examples I recently remember seeing) from reputable dealers (by Woot! definitions of course) would be a welcomed change here for many of us
I was one of the lucky (translation: cynical and distrustful) people who bought one of those long-ago mystery boxes and did a credit-card charge-back at the three-week point. I'm real happy not seeing any more mystery boxes here ever.
On the other hand, I tend to see a random-shirt deal differently. I'd know I was buying a shirt, and the only mystery would be in the artwork.
but BKIndustries said they'd be mailing out my mystery box sometime in the next decade. it's probably totally worth the wait
Many of the 'deal a day' sites already do mystery boxes from time to time. I'd hate to see the BK fiasco again which essentially put the axe on mystery boxes here.
Personally, I've had really good luck w/a 'mystery' deal. Twice. They were backpacks. Well worth the initial price, and included free shipping. Oh, and they were stuffed w/really neat items, bringing the value to WAY above the cost.
Since woot personnel cannot 'interject' into a deal made w/another company, I do not understand the problem w/listing them. Isn't it true that if you have a bad experience YOU must contact the company you dealt with? The most woot personnel can do is ban that company. (Did not buy, nor have any knowledge of the 'mystery' deal of which others speak.)
@gmwhit: I'm in the same (mystery) boat. I've had some REALLY good luck with a couple of other sites, although their prices are higher than a Woot BOC, and they lack the adventure of the forums. I've had some from other sites that were big disappointments, but I'm not familiar with the BK Industries issue that everyone mentions. A link to the discussion would be nice.
As a few others have mentioned, even if Woot continues to ban regular mystery boxes, the random t-shirts are often a really fun deal and I see no reason to ban those, particularly if the buyer gets to pick the size. Today I posted a random reading glasses deal that seems to be ok, and I've been allowed to post the random t-shirt deals in the past. I have also posted the random wedding dress deals from Jammin' Butter before. Sometimes these are allowed and sometimes not. Curiouser and curiouser.
For those who weren't around at the time, here you go:
Please note that you can start almost anywhere in there. Man, that was one serious idiot. It's sad when someone just cannot take responsibility for their actions, and when they can continue to justify their wrong doing in the face of every evidence that what they've done is wrong.
If you really have a lot of time on your hands, here's the worst one:
Yes, my children, that is indeed SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE comments. Crazy times, you know?
Here's another one (not BKI, Dollar Deals):
There's others, but those were some of the worst.
I did some follow-up research on Brandon Mysliewiec last year, and it turned out he was still out there scamming his little heart out. News stories can be found here:
http://www.suunews.com/news/2012/feb/12/cedar-city-based-online-business-faces-75000-fine/ and here http://www.kutv.com/news/features/gephardt/stories/vid_107.shtml .
He also had two indiegogo.com funding projects last year trying to raise money (I think he was looking for $75k) to build out an indoor paint-ball course and gaming center in Cedar City, Utah. At the midway point of his campaigns he'd collected a total of about $150.
It's always the same story with Brandon: I'm doing my best but [insert excuse blaming everyone else].
By the way, I also contacted indiegogo with a half dozen links regarding his unreliability; their response was, in essence, "we don't care."
This pretty well sums up Brandon's business ethics (it's from the suunew.com article):
~~~ Mysliewiec said customers are "shooting themselves in the foot" by complaining to [Utah Division of Consumer Protection].
"The more they complain the worse the situation gets with the state, and if the judge feels that it's just too big of a situation, then he'll just let the fines go through," he said. "If the fines go through, I bankrupt the website, which means the customers lose their money, the product, and it still doesn't affect me." ~~~
Please, please, please, let's NOT go down that route again. Random deals just aren't worth the mountain of drama they cause, and it's unreasonable to expect Woot to sort the good ones from the bad. Anybody who desperately feels the need to waste their money can use Google to find mystery boxes, mystery T-shirts, mystery expired prescription medicine bottles, or whatever else on their own. Leave the rule in place.
@xdavex: I'm still waiting on my @BKIndustries mystery boxes lol

1983 Geneseo graduate Jeff Clarke has provided a $10,000 challenge gift to help build a culture of student philanthropy at the college.
GENESEO, N.Y. -- A $10,000 challenge gift from 1983 Geneseo graduate Jeff Clarke, a managing partner at Augusta Columbia Marketing Group, is encouraging students to help build a culture of student philanthropy at the college. The funds have helped the college launch "Make Your Mark - The Student Giving Challenge," which is incentivizing students affiliated with an organization, team or academic department to participate in giving. The organizations, departments or teams compete for cash awards based on the percentage of students in the group making a gift of $10 or more to the campaign.
Clarke is a generous supporter of the college and a member of the Geneseo Foundation Board of Directors.
The campaign has issued five affinity-based weekly challenges this spring. Each week is focusing on a different group of organizations:
Feb. 24 - March 1: Fraternities (Men's and Coed)
March 2 - March 9: Sororities
March 10 - March 16: Women's Intercollegiate Athletics
March 24 - March 30: Men's Intercollegiate Athletics
March 31 - April 6: Academic Departments
The organization, team or department that has the highest percentage of members making a gift of $10 or more to "Make Your Mark" during their designated week will be awarded $1,000 from the challenge gift. Second place will receive $700 and third place will receive $300.
Challenge monies will be available to the winning teams and organizations for immediate use. Donations and the challenge money will help to fund leadership training, travel to national conferences, and other meaningful activities that develop and enhance the organization. To participate, students must make their gift the week of the challenge they are supporting. Gifts can be made online or in person at Erwin Hall Room 23.
"Make Your Mark - The Student Giving Challenge" is a student-run program to encourage and facilitate a lasting relationship between current students and the college. The campaign provides an opportunity for students to give back to Geneseo and the things that matter most to them.
