Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.
We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.
You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:
Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.
If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.
Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.
But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?
Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.
Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.

10 Plastic Surgery Mistakes No One Talks About
You've heard about the chance of blood clots and infection -- but these common plastic surgery side effects will shock you
Here's a newsflash: Regular docs can perform the same plastic surgeries as certified plastic surgeons. Dr. Leonard Tachmes says that any MD can claim to be a surgeon (and they are in growing numbers due to monetary incentives), but only a surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery -- the only plastic surgery board recognized by the American Medical Association -- should be performing these aesthetic procedures.

$121 Million Project is Hospital's Biggest Expansion
LITTLE ROCK, AR. (June 13, 2012) - Four years after breaking ground, today Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) opened the doors to its largest ever expansion project, the 258,000-square foot South Wing. The patient facility brings a new standard of care to families in Arkansas with the debut of an entirely new emergency department, updated intensive care units for cardiovascular and neonatal patients and five new outpatient clinics.
The South Wing adds 54 inpatient beds, allowing ACH to accommodate 370 overnight patients. Planning for the $121 million facility began in 2005, and Nabholz, Inc. started construction in 2008. The facility, designed by Cromwell Architects, is being paid for with a combination of cash reserves, philanthropic donations and bonds issued in 2009.
Donors to the $160 million Century of Possibility Centennial Campaign have provided more than $24 million to the South Wing project. Gift commitments to the campaign totaling more than $105 million have been secured and are focused on the key priorities of pediatric care, research, education and prevention.
"We have looked forward to this day for more than half a decade," said ACH President and CEO Jonathan Bates, MD. "As we mark our 100th year of service to the children of Arkansas, we begin the next century with the South Wing as an outstanding resource for their care."
Families staying in the South Wing's inpatient areas will benefit from private patient rooms, specially planned landscaping and plenty of natural light. The expanded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) includes an eight-bed pod of nursery-style bassinettes and 17 new private rooms with bathrooms for patients transitioning to home care.
The Stella Boyle Smith Atrium that spans the third and fourth floors of the South Wing features plants native to the state and opens to the expansive Charles "Boe" and Myrna V. Adams Rooftop Garden with a playground and walking labyrinth.
"We know that being able to soak in some sunlight and play among grass helps the healing experience," Bates said. "We're excited that these elements in the South Wing can help kids get back to simply being kids faster than ever before."
The rooms in the South Wing include new features that will help ACH provide better family-centered care, like the ability to stock fresh linens and remove trash from outside the room without disturbing a sleeping child. The inpatient areas in the South Wing also include larger, more accommodating family houses, complete with comfortable seating, kitchen and dining areas, computer work space, showers and laundry facilities.
Each floor of the new South Wing was planned along the theme of "Healing is in our Nature." The décor of each unit draws on the natural beauty of Arkansas, from the river delta to the forests and mountains. Little touches reinforce the theme. Nursing desks on the first floor are designed to look like boats. Electronic panels on the ceiling of the second floor display star-gazing coordinates throughout the day and night. Light fixtures on the third floor resemble butterflies.
The expansion also outfits several existing programs with entirely new spaces. It includes a new unit for children with cancer and blood disorders, as well as a new space for sick infants and toddlers, many of whom are dependent on breathing technologies. The new Log a Load for Kids of Arkansas Emergency Department will provide cutting-edge care, complete with five trauma rooms, 33 private exam rooms, a dedicated X-ray suite and separate sick and well waiting rooms. It also features a decontamination space for better treatment of patients exposed to chemicals.
Two intensive care units will expand, as the South Wing provides additional space to their current bed counts. The David M. Clark Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit, which performed a national record of 31 pediatric heart transplants in 2011, will grow to 40 private rooms for children with congenital heart defects and other cardiovascular conditions. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit will be able to care for as many as 100 babies a day with its growth in the South Wing. In addition to the 17 new private rooms for families learning about home care for their newborns, the NICU features a sibling playroom and an area for lactation and storage of breast milk.
Many areas of the South Wing are named in recognition of donor support, including the In Honor of Walmart and Sam's Club Associates Patient Care Floor on the first level. Mike Duke, CEO of Walmart, says the group is honored to support Arkansas Children's Hospital.
"Walmart is proud to support organizations that provide services important to our associates and customers in the communities we serve," Duke said. "Arkansas Children's Hospital provides life-saving care to children across the state, and we are proud of our long-standing relationship and partnership in serving the health care needs of children in Arkansas."
Two other floors in the building will be named, including the J.B. Hunt Transport Services Patient Care Floor on the South Wing's second level and the Will Golf 4 Kids/Color of Hope Gala Patient Care Floor on the third.
"The South Wing is an integral component of our Century of Possibility Centennial Campaign, which is the most ambitious in our history," said Charlie Whiteside, member of the hospital and foundation boards of directors. "Why this campaign at this time? The answer is clear and simple: Our children and their families deserve the best opportunities for healing and hope. The purpose of our campaign is to preserve lives and return children to good health. Such an effort is worthy of generous support by all Arkansans. As a parent and grandparent, it is my keenest desire to have the best medical resources available for each and every child."
Other key named spaces in the South Wing include the Circle of Friends Hematology-Oncology Clinic, Alton L. Miles Healing Garden, Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation Dental Clinic, Willard and Pat Walker Charitable Foundation Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic, Arkansas Children's Hospital Auxiliary Infant Toddler Unit and the Roy and Christine Sturgis Concourse.
Families will find that many of the clinics their children regularly attend will be moving to the South Wing. Audiology, ENT, Neurology, Cancer and Blood Disorders, Dental and Eye Clinics are among those outpatient services moving to the new facility. The clinics and units will begin their transitions to their new spaces the last week of June. Families should look for notices about the new locations of their clinics in letters from Arkansas Children's Hospital before their child's next appointment. They can also find more information, including maps and move schedules, at archildrens.org

I came across this sentence in a Wodehouse book (talking about spots on skin)
...he knows his spots from A to Z and has been treating them since he was so high.
What does the phrase
since __ was so high mean here?
The full context for the line is from Aunts Aren't Gentlemen:
The speaker is saying that he can go to one of two types of doctors to treat him: he can go to the one who will "prod him" and tell jokes (thus not really doing his job), or to one who will treat him because he is knowledgeable.
The second type of doctor is so well-versed in spots because he has been treating them since he was so high--a line that would be accompanied by a hand showing how small he was when he started. You could rewrite the line as, "he has been treating them since he was this big". This is all saying that the doctor has been studying for a long time, even since he was a child.
"Since _ was so high" can be taken in a number of different ways, depending on the context in which it is used.
For your example, it seems as if the phrase is referring to the person's height and age. You almost have to picture the person speaking the sentence leaning down and holding their hand (palm down) below their waist—indicating that he has been treating his spots since he was a small child.
Some may be more familiar with the phrase "since he/she was yea big" - with the same hand gesture and position involved.
It would usually be used with a physical gesture indicating height, or not, given that the meaning is well understood. Generally refers to someone being of a height which they are not at now, indicating a young age. In short,
Another example would be:
As others have said, this means "since he was a child".
What may be confusing is the different meanings of "so". Usually "so high" would mean "very high, to an unexpected or disturbing degree" ("that diving board is so high"). Here "so" is used in a different sense, meaning "like this", and almost always accompanied by a visual representation of the degree.
Out of context, "he was so high" would be difficult to make sense of, even for a native English speaker, except that "since he/she was so high/big/tall" is an idiom.
Since he was so high may indeed be accompanied by a hand-gesture, but not always. It's such a common expression most people will understand it to mean "much smaller than now" even if it's said on the telephone.
And even if a gesture is made, any particular height indicated doesn't normally mean much. An even more common form is knee-high to a grasshopper. A nice image, but hardly accurate.

Menu width problem in IE7 (only)
I am using extJS 3.3 and having the problem with the width of the menu on IE7 strict mode (only). The width of the menu is too small to show the complete menu items.
I try to do some experiment and found this link http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...items-to-small and add the autoWidth method (with minor modifications) on Menu.js
autoWidth : function() { var el = this.el; var ul = this.ul; if (!el) { return; } var w = this.width; if (w) { el.setWidth(w); } else if (Ext.isIE7) { el.setWidth(this.minWidth); var t = el.dom.offsetWidth; // force recalc el.setWidth(ul.getWidth() + el.getFrameWidth("lr")); } }

Have you tried upgrading to 3.4 to see if that helps?
As for the fix, this should be fine. You can always step through the code to see how it works.
5 Sep 2012 3:42 AM #3
Thanks for the reply scott. The update to 3.4 is not possible right now. I tried to use break points and logging to see how this method is effecting the width setting. Strangely enough, the code is not breaking on break points and there are no logs. This suggests that this method is not being used at all. However, it seems to be doing the trick in IE7.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- The State University of New York at Geneseo has honored 11 employees who retired in 2009-10 and 229 others for their years of service. President Christopher Dahl also presented the 2010 Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Classified Service and three Geneseo Pride Awards.
Christie Reed, keyboard specialist in the Office of Admissions, received the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Classified Service. She was cited for going above and beyond to assist parents, co-workers, academic departments, staff and students seeking services from the department. SUNY established the award last year to recognize superior performance and extraordinary achievement by employees in the classified service.
The college presented Geneseo Pride Awards to Kimberly Harvey, assistant director of residence life; Diane Lounsbury, secretary in the political science and international relations department; and Susan Norman, director of the Xerox Center for Multicultural Education in the School of Education. Thirteen were nominated for the award, which recognizes significant contributions of non-teaching full-time or part-time employees in advancing the goals and mission of Geneseo.
Harvey's nomination noted her leadership abilities resulting in higher levels of responsibility within residential life. Lounsbury's nomination came from the entire department and cited her ability to handle her responsibilities with cheer and efficiency. Norman's nomination described her as a prime example of an employee whose passion for her position is reflected in her performance and demonstration of Geneseo's shared values.
The 11 retirees honored were James Allen; Steven Benchik; Penny Bovee, Kevin Callan; Richard Canfield; Linda Erwin; David Kelly; Deborah Lambert; Deborah Mott; and James Stenger. Retiree Shirley Farley was recognized posthumously. Her parents, Evelyn and Francis Farley, attended the luncheon to receive the recognition in her memory.
Also honored were 119 faculty and staff who completed 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 years of service in 2009, and 110 faculty and staff with more than 25 years of service to the college.

5 Kick-Ass Action Movies That Are Pure Propaganda
The Plot
"Marky" Mark Wahlberg IS Bob Lee Swagger, a badass former Marine scout sniper who lives in a log cabin in the woods with his dog and his copy of the 9/11 Commission Report. But, when the government shows up at his door and asks Bob Lee to help them save the president's life, Bob Lee puts aside his burning hatred of the government and agrees to give them a hand.
Two bullet wounds later, Bob Lee is on the run from a conspiracy that involves the U.S. Senate, Big Oil, the FBI, the Philadelphia Police Department and just about everybody else. It's just too bad for all those conspiring bastards that they picked the baddest motherfucker on the planet to conspire against.
The Message
There's Only One Way to Deal with a Politician, and It Ain't Due Process.
You know those vigilante movies where some murdering scumbag is set free by the legal system and somebody has to take the law into his own hands to bring the bastard to justice? Well, Shooter takes the same stand on right-wing politics, as in: If the legal system can't bring right-wing politicians to justice, then it's time for every one of those money-grubbing bastards to get a lead injection.
Yeah, we're thinking the Secret Service has a list of everyone who has ever seen this movie.
Significant Quote
"This is a country where the Secretary of Defense can go on TV and tell the American public, oh, that 'This is about Freedom, it's not about oil!' And, nobody questions him 'cause nobody wants to hear the answer, 'cause it's a lie! There's only so many places at the table, gunnie. Now, are you on the inside, or are you on the out?" -Senator Charles Meachum (He's the villain, in case that wasn't clear)
Bonus Message
And, it's all because of those fucking oil pipelines. Where's Forrest Taft when you need the man?
You better fucking believe it. And when shit blows up, shit blows up big. Plus, you get some kung fu and a nice combination of gunfire and gore that adds up to some of the awesomest bullet hits in movie history. One guy gets his arm shot off; his entire fucking arm!

well i got a team and gonna try to get the tactic right now, not easy as i'm not a tactical genius

2011/12 - BSS, 1st, FA Trophy 2nd Round, BSS Champions!
2012/13 - BSP, 2nd, FA Cup 1st Round, FA Trophy 4th Round, Lost in BSP Playoff Final
46 Pld, 26 Won, 9 Drn, 11 Lst, 110 For, 76 Ag, +34 GD, 87 Pts
League / Domestic Cups
After promotion from the BSS last season in my first attempt I was expecting the worst this season, but it seems I had nothing to worry about, as I was in the top 5 for virtually the whole season, and ended up spending most of the 2nd half of the season in 2nd place, with a comfortable gap from 3rd place, but never quite able to catch first place Wrexham, who ended up running away with the league.
That said, I was confident heading into the Playoffs, with the Semis putting me up against 5th placed Aldershot, who I beat 3 times already this season. Surprisingly, I was convincingly outplayed in the away leg, but still managed to walk away with a respectable 2-2 draw. I had a lot more of the ball in the home leg, but both team failed to score in 90 minutes. I manged to get ahead in the 91st minute, but then Aldershot equalised in the 101st minute, so it came down to penalties, which thankfully I won - and was now one game away from consecutive promotions.
The Playoff Final saw me up against 4th placed Cheltenham, who I beat 7-2 a month ago, and I was feeling good about my chances. However, the game did not go to plan, with Cheltenham dominating the match, and running away deserving 2-1 winners, condemning Sutton Utd to another season in the BSP. Despite being the 2nd best side all season, sadly the side couldn't perform when it counted.
2013 League Table and Graph
BSP Playoff Final
Star Players
With my inherited side blitzing the BSS, I decided to go with an unchanged lineup this season (meaning my U18 players again got minimal game time), but two of my inherited players in particular stood out:
BSP Top Goalscorer / Shortlisted for BSP Player of the Season / Fan Player of the Season - Martin Reilly
Whilst 26 year old striker Reilly doesn't have amazing attributes, he just manges to score goals and consistently outscoring his fellow striker. With 37 goals and 14 assists at 7.38 from 53 games, he now holds the record for most league goals for the club with 61 goals.
My player of the Season - Oliver Nicholas
The 21 year old central defender and Eritrea captain keeps on improving, and in my opinion is the best player in the team - if he can keep improving then I'm confident that the team can continue to perform well. Managed 6 goals and 3 assists at 7.16 from 48 appearances, as well as 5 international appearances for minnows Eritrea. Unfortunatly, there are now a couple of clubs interested in him, and I have received my first offer, but with 4 years to go on his contract, I'm not too worried yet.
Best U18 Player - Gary White
Once again, due to the performances of my initial squad, I didn't give my U18 players much of an opportunity, and 17 year old right back White was again the only U18 player to make an appearance for the senior side. His attributes are nothing flash, and neither were his match statistics - 18 games at 6.88. Sadly, my coaching staff still think he is the best U18 prospect, so I'm really hoping for a good batch of youngsters next season.
2013 Seasonal Best XI and Overall Best XI
Aside from the success on the field, the season was also a success off the field, with the side posting a $600k profit! Whilst this sounds good, the reality is that this profit was only made due to 2 matches - an away FA Cup match against League 1 Norwich (20,000 attendance), and the Playoff Final (38,000 attendance).
2013 Finances
Despite the profit this season, the board was still not willing to upgrade the facilities, or even turn professional, prefering to remain semi-professional, although the good news is that the Chairman is looking to sell the club - here's hoping for a tycoon takeover!

Congrats on survival Drew Hopefully your 2nd season goes as well as my 2nd is in League 2
I'd just like to put in for a record
6 Goals - Christian Walsh
2 goals from corners - I set him to attack the corners.
4 goals from open play - 2 goals by stealing the ball from the defenders feet.

Mark - Unlucky, looks like you deserved to be promoted there. Next season then!
Drew - Well done on staying up. That's got to be the aim for the first season then maybe mid-table and if lucky promotion the next.
I'm actually two seasons behind, one "meh" season, and one massive season for Lowestoft Town.
Just something I've been trying. If a youth player is performing well in the youth squad (Last 5 match rating high) I assume their form is high so I put them on the bench of my first team. If they perform well then I keep playing them, anyone else do this or just me? Here's the best result I've had so far:
Malcolm Jones
Not a world class player as you can see but from his stats you can see he has scored 5 times in 6 starts. Not bad eh? Remember though, Form is temporary, class is permanent so don't rely on it!
Youth intake v.soon!

Jordan Parker YP12 can play in the centre of defence or in the centre of midfield.
Jimmy Parnaby YP12 will be my new right back as of next season.
well i'm at chester now and my home form is great (P 5 W 5 GD +12), but my away form is awfull (P 5 W 1 L 4 -3)
Still tweeking my tactics and shouts but looking promissing i hope i can keep it up
[Chester] Mid-Season Update - League 2 [Second Season]
npower League 2
Last Season Recap
Last year, we finished 18th in the league due the a major overhaul in personel! I removed almost all of the old guard (the originals) and replaced them with my YP's and also the other youth players that didn't make it for a YP tag. This meant that our players just weren't good enough for the league, but after a late surge in the last month of the season, we managed to secure our spot for this years npower League 2.
This Season
This season has been absolutely amazing, with Brett Smart and Eric Davidson appearing on the scene from our last youth intake in March, we have been unstoppable! I changed the tactics this season with a view to using my attacking talent to the full and it has worked amazingly! As you can see from the League Table, we are unbeaten, alongside this seasons rivals Port Vale! We are both running away with the league right now, but it's only a matter of time before one of us loses, it's inevitable... I think it could come down to our reverse match, after drawing our first 1 - 1.
We play a 4 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 1 formation, with a DM, 2 CM's, RW, LW and an ST
We have several options for the RW and LW, whilst we have Christian Walsh YP05 who is an out and out striker, so this tactic fits perfectly with the squad.
Squad Stats
I start my games with usually with Brett Smart on the right, Gary Beckford on the left and Christian Walsh up front. If things aren't going well, then I substitute Walsh, put Beckford or Smart up front and bring on either Petrillo or Pope. If Pope or Petrillo aren't available, I use Jordan Whitfield. Eric Davidson didn't start the season, but after a while picked up the MC spot and has made it his own with a massive 13 assists in just 18 games!!!
I so want to start this again. But I'm enjoying my Athletic save too.
Amazing! Keep up the good work!
And a quick update about my Northwich season ....
17 games into the 2018/19 season now, and we're in 3rd, just 2 points behind the leaders (FC Halifax). Apart from the opening day of the season, we haven't been out of the top 6 so far (just 1 brief blip), and there is a gap builing between us and 4th place.
Oh, and Stalybridge have had 10 points deducted as well now after going into administration, bring the total upto 4 teams!
Of the 4, Hereford have come out of administration, but the other 3 are struggling badly ....
Stalybridge have debts of £1.6m, Stockport £1.4m, but the grand prize goes to Port Vale who have a whopping £3.7m debt!
Gives me an idea actually, creat a spin-off save from the Youth challenge, take over Port Vale and see if I can get them back onto a sound financial footing ....
EDIT :: So much for putting out a weak team and throwing my FAT Q3 match against Halifax. I made 9 changes, oldest player was 19, and they still won 2-1 ....
Last edited by Avramski; 03-04-2012 at 17:51.
are you guys noticing a increase in the quality of your new-gens or are the overall quality of the group you get every season staying about the same but with a few players better? is there any advantage of using home grown players like more commited to the club etc?
I'm back. This time with Stafford Rangers. I have minimal youth coaching and no youth facilities. I have one goalkeeper throughout my whole squad as well.
I'm in trouble .....
Just seen a note about whether or not Northwich are going to offer me a new contract at the end of the season ....
My seasons expectations were, mid table finish, Q4 of the FA Cup and round 1 of the FA Trophy.
So far, I'm top on goal difference, with 2 games in hand, lost to Chesterfield in the 2nd round of the FA Cup, and I face Chorley in the 2nd round of the FA Trophy.
Anyway, I asked for a new contract, and the board refused, on the grounds that my job performance hasn't been good enough so far this season!
Going to start this challenge, holidaying in the process and i'll update this post on who I choose.
Chosen Northwich Victoria, looked to be one of the easier options.

jcoll, don't make the mistake I made, and let all the contracts expire at the end of July!

Table - Meh, just like last season, we were doing quite well until about December time and we fell apart, but we managed to get a few wins in the closing games to take us to mid-table.
Glen Franks YP4 done well, nothing special but solid enough.
Ollie Driver YP5 again nothing special, hasn't progressed as much as I'd hoped, will probably be nothing more than a squad member next season.
Christian Frew YP6 like Driver, nothing special, done well when I used him in a AMC position, but he was more of a centre mid for most of the time.
Kenny Stockwell YP7 despite being able to play across the back four Kenny was mostly used as a sub, will be nothing more than a squad member next season.
Luke Southgate YP9 was sent out on loan, came back, but was used as a sub and unable to establish himself in the side.
Ollie Hooper YP10 has been great since making the step up, probably one of if not my only bright spark this season.
Ben Evans YP11 done okay, didn't get as much goals as he could have got, but he will only improve.
Finances I am screwed.

League Table - We improved! admittedly it was from 17th - 15th but it's a positive.
FA Cup - Much better this year, again we faced Dover, I hope we don't have to face them every year, we managed to get to third round where we lost 5-2 against Plymouth.
FA Trophy - We did well in this competition aswell, even though we were in 3 replays, and lost the last replay in the 4th Round against Fleetwood Town.
Squad - The squad isn't so top heavy now, I'll hopefully go for a 10th place finish next season.
Key Players:
Joe Barney (D C/R) - again he had the highest average rating in the team.
Jason Tillen (YP1) - He was the top scorer, but he was also very inconsistent with 2 goal droughts of over 10 hours, he ended up with 19 goals in 49.

Hmm .... I could lose a few of my top players at the end of the season. They all want better contracts, but when I go to offer them 1, they're not interesting in talking about a new contract ....
Just a quick mid season update on how things are going in my first season with Chester.
We are already out of the FA Cup and Trophy, the less said the better.
However, things are going slightly differently in the league...
Can't wait for the first youth intake now!
Well i'm halfway trough my first season and i'm currently 3rd (unexpected), but i most thank that position due to my awsome home record
Home Record
Any1 have any tips to get my away to a better record?
Wow, we just beat AFC Telford (BSP team) 5-0 in the cup
2016/2017 Season Youth Intake
Youth Intake Squad
This was probably one of my worst intakes in a while, but we have come away with one youth player that catches my eye and he's a Goalkeeper, which has been a long time coming!
Goalkeeper - Reece Jeffries
According to my ability comparison list, Reece is my best Goalkeeper, so he will fit straight into the team! He's also viewed to be twice as good as my current goalkeeper, but thats not difficult His potential is 5 stars, but none of my coaches are willing to comment on his potential any further
TM- That GK looks promising, I think he is a bit slow and needs to improve his handling a bit
Currently Managing - Carshalton Athletic
Seasons Completed - 7
Current Division - League 1
Hastings 7 - 1 Chatham FA Cup 2nd Qual. Rnd - My biggest ever win as Hastings manager, we went 1-0 down after 5 minutes, equalized in the 8th, were 3-1 up at halftime and won 7-1, with 1 goal from YP1, YP2a & YP2c with a brace from YP2b!!
Short Update - 23/3/2017
Last time I did an update was my Mid-Season update, so thought i'd keep you up to speed! Unfortunately things are getting tough in the npower League 2, we were unbeaten on 1st January, but after continuing our unbelievable unbeaten run, we eventually saw defeat against then 7th placed Burton (currently 8th) on the 25th February...
To put into perspective what i'm saying, in our last 13 league games, we've only won 4! Although it hasn't been all doom and gloom as we have drawn 7 out of the 9, whilst losing our last match against 3rd placed Luton.
It's funny how these things work out in the late stages, as despite our disgracefull form, we are still 4 points clear in 1st place, with title rivals Port Vale doing just as bad as we are, or worse! In January we were both clashing head to head in the table, with identical points and identical goal difference.
Verdict: Despite our awfull form recently, I believe we have what it takes to step over the line as the League 2 champions! We are currently 14 points clear of 3rd place and a massive 20 points clear of 4th, so we are basically guaranteed promotion, no matter what happens from now.
Youth Intake - This is my intake from last season that I forgot to upload. Anyway couple of good players, the best clearly being Lee James who was potential to be a Leading Championship striker which he is proving so far in my first season in League 1!
Carshalton Atheltic
Done Well to Consolidate ourselves in the league but i reckon if we didn't get so far in the FA Cup i wouldn't of had to rest players and we might of squeaked into the Play Offs

From our squad it is easy to see who our key players were; Mitchell, Frew, Crane & Fisk, which shows why we struggled so much without them when they were lost to injuries.

One good thing to draw from the season was our finances, with our pre-season tournaments seeing us through the season with more than enough to spare.

Targets for next season:
Consolidate our position in the league, finishing clear of relegation.
Integrate some youth into the squad and get rid of the dead wood.
Get some coaching increases with pre-season friendly money.

Toonbalmy- A solid season their and it leaves you in a good position to fight for promotion next year.

Northwich Victoria - 2018/19
Finally success in the Blue Square North! Promoted as champions! A very good season overall where we was always in control of our destiny, although there was quite a few squeeky bum moments in February and early March, when it was a case of win 1, draw 1, lose 1 for about 10 games. However, our usual late season form (win loads in a row), saw us win the title in quite comfortable fashion in the end. We were promoted with 1 game to go after Halifax lost giving us a 6 point gap, so I decided to give a few others a game, but already relegated FC United beat us.

Anyway, March 12th rolled around once more, and despite junior coaching being excellend and youth recruitment being upgraded to basic, the quality of my youth intake dropped again, although at least did get a play-making midfielder for once. Alasdair Hodge stood out (report card) as the best player, so accordingly, he got the YP07 tag.
Cup progress.
Despite my best efforts to throw matches in the FA Trophy, my players wouldn't listen! In all 3 matches, I made 9 changes, taking it as an opportunity to rest my key first team players, but the back up players did pretty well!Code:Competition Round Opponent Location Score Attendance FA Cup Q2 Marine Home 2-0 826 FA CUp Q3 Droylsden Away 1-2 755 FA Cup Q4 Chester Away 2-2 2463 FA Cup Q4R Chester Home p2-2 2432 FA Cup 1 AFC Telford Away 0-1 3727 FA Cup 2 Chesterfield Home 0-2 4571 FA Trophy Q3 FC Halifax Away 1-2 1246 FA Trophy 1 Woodley Sports Away 0-3 106 FA Trophy 2 Chorley Home 0-2 846
The FA Cup is a different matter. No matter what level the club is playing at, I always want to do well, as there is decent prize money on offer for a non league club, plus attendences are higher than normal, and if you get through to the 3rd round, a chance of an away match to a big team
Finances - Could be better, although with the team winning promotion, I'm optomistic that the bigger gates (and higher prices ) will be enough to keep me operating at an acceptable level.
Transfers - As per usual, I'm clean (yes, I did have quite a major clear out).
Stay in the BSP (preferably finishing 18th or better
3rd round of the FA Cup
Keep the wage bill under £250,000 for the year
Get youth recruitment upto adequate

Kingston-Upon-Thames, June 2012: Newly promoted Kingstonian FC looks to unknown manager for their first season in the Blue Square Bet South.
Danish-American Michael Dahl will have his work cut out for him in trying to avoid relegation this season. His work is further complicated by the fact that the Board of Directors have decreed that no players will be allowed to join the team outside of those coming from the youth network.
Kingstonian is tipped to place 20th and earn an immediate return to the Isthmian League Premier Division.
Despite some early trouble other users have experienced with Kingstonian, the appeal of a reasonably sized stadium and a dashing kit echoing the colors of my home country (Danish born and raised, but have lived in the US for the last 14 years) was simply too much to resist. We'll give it a go, and probably fail horrendously in the process =)
However, the existing squad contained a very pleasant surprise - can you spot it?
spoiler:Your eyes do not deceive you - that is indeed lower league legend Jamil Adam leading the Kingstonian strike force! Apparently he had a short stint with Bury Town last season, before Kingstonian picked him up on a free transfer and signed him to a two-year deal. (screenshot)
Our central defense, keeper, and strikers look good enough. Our midfield is depleted, and I'll have to rely on the reserves to fill the gaps. It is anchored by the Finnish Andeele Martins, a former Man Utd player. Our fullbacks are less than stellar as well. It'll take some work to come up with a consistent tactical approach that will let us compete, I think.
Our staff is predictably awful, with the notable exception of our GK coach who manages 2 1/2 stars over both categories, and 3 1/2 on just a single one! Hard to say about the finances, but we have 46k in the coffers to start.
Should be a good time. Up the Ks!
What rep are Stafford Rangers?
I envy you mkj . Jamil Adam . He would have kept me up no doubt. Even his new 12.2 version. He was firing them in at roughly a goal a game for Hinckley on my Chester attempt.
Finally completed my season in League 2, will have the end of season report up tomorrow at some point, for now i'm off to bed
WOW Jamil Adam?! In my save he has single-handedly got Lincoln to League 1 and is still scoring. And he always seems to score against me..
TM - Was it a good one?

God damn it. Jamie Yates, my right winger, has 5 in 6 is out injured for 2 months. He's key to our plans and be great for our first 5 games as we've stormed to 2nd having just beaten Chester 4-0 away from home. Just hope that Heler and Dalton can do a good enough job.
my next youth intake has brought me a Diminutive Winger thats what it says in his information profile hes 4 Stars so ill see what i can do with him first time i have seen that though he is 5ft3
FA Cup 2nd Round Hastings 1 - 0 Rotheram - Jason Tillen you LEGEND!!! 3rd Round we are drawn at home to Premier League side Bolton!
Youth Intake
Not a lot this time, although a new goalie, right back and centre back will suffice.
Geoff Bastow YP14 looks quite decent.
Kerry Carney YP15 again, looks decent, a year or two in the U18's, and then a season on loan somewhere will do him well.
Avramski- well done on finally getting promotion. I imagine your team is now well beyond BSN quality so you should comfortably survive BSP, if not push for the playoffs.
mkjellander- Welcome to the challenge and good luck with kingstonian. I cant believe you have Jamil Adam and I'm sure he will keep you up
3rd season report soon!
Drew. Lowestoft Town. League One. 2023/2024
Table - KAPOW! I thought that we'd have another season of mid-table mediocrity but no, the lads decided that instead of going a goal down and caving in, that they would rather get their act together and claw back and win/draw games.
Ollie Driver YP5 had a poor season up front, I'm only keeping him on because he has experience, and that's what we need right now.
Christian Frew YP6 done well, chipped in with a few goals, his experience, just like Driver will be vital next season.
Kenny Stockwell YP7 just like last season, Kenny was used mostly as a sub.
Luke Southgate YP9 went on loan for most of the season, didn't impress, will be used sparingly next season.
Ollie Hooper YP10 very impressive once again, I will look forward to seeing how well Ollie handles The Championship next season.
Ben Evans YP11 meh, he's still young and I feel he will only get better next season.
Jordan Parker YP12 was impressive when used, next season will only tell if he can handle first team football.
Jimmy Parnaby YP13 superb, acquited himself really well, and next season he will only get better.

Drew- I knew you got promoted but I didnt realise you won the league! an exceptional achievement! some great youths coming through as well. A full back with 15 tackling is amazing.
Drew- Dont accept anything. The quality of the player is worth way more to you than any money . You never know when the next time you will get a quality full back like that as I imagine he will turn into a decent premier league player.
Chester 2014/15 Season
Well how can I say this, we have done it! League 2 here we come. After being predicted major outsiders (Predicted to finish 20th) we made the playoffs again and won! Preseason saw us get out of our 250k debt and 250k into the green with just one friendly league. The season started well, me playing a counter attacking defensive game with resulting in us being just outside of the playoffs, I saw this as a chance to play more attacking, we were in form and playing like a team much better than ourselves. I kept countering attacking but putting more attacking roles on and the wins came streaming in. After Christmas we only lost three times and drew 4 times, I went with an all-out attack mentality for the last few games and we managed to get 3rd place and won through the playoffs! It proves that Form is more important than anything else during a season. Also we recorded our first cup victory! FA Trophy in the bag we were very happy!

Changes to the first team:
Ceyham Simsek replaced my ever aging centre backs Taylor and Terry (Both retiring) not the best centre back going but bags of potential (Not Nsaku quality) had a good season away from injuries but he will fight on!
Robert Carter YP01 is the first of my potential youth players to take a first team role! Not much needed to be said except for he will be the best midfielder next season, better than
Anotni Sarcevic who delivered as I promised last season, taking charge of the role in CM and AM sometimes. Not the best performer every game (hence the best 11 bench position) but he certainly held down a first team role.
Gus Navarro, Wow, I didnt see this coming from anywhere! When he was taken on he wasnt even YP## quality but had potential, he played in the reserves last season and done a good job but this season I noticed he had the qualities of a Rooney of the lower leagues. So I trained him to be an AM and he was a hit, later when I changed to a 442 formation he took the striker role and scored more than Rainford! Despite his finish being between 2-4 he put them away with his head (Heading 10 Jumping 15) and got into great 1 on 1 positions (Off the ball 12 Composure 11) and scored a lot! And his potential moved up to 5* as well! My little gen of a striker.
Malcolm Jones YP03 was playing well in the Youth team so when Rainford got injured I thought he would do perfectly (Despite him being 5 Silver Star CA) any yes it worked, picking up goals nearly every game he was perfect, now he is my number 1 backup. However the bad news being his potential dropping to just 4 stars from the original 5.
I think you can agree I had a good year of integrationing youth!
Youth intake
Not the best to say the least just one Geoffrey Mutenza YP04 to talk about. Has all the skills and pace to make my bench but gets injured as soon as he joins the youth squad, next season maybe Lots of players in positions I don't need cover for, I need full backs!
Daniel OToole YP02 made some appearances for the first team in Brains absence but was not up to his standard (Brain conceded less than 1 goal a game!) still, 8 league games 10 conceded isnt bad!
Last Season Targets
· Mid table finish (above 15th) [COMPLETED IN STYLE]
· Improve finances/ Reduce wage bill (from £8k p/w to 6k) [INCOMPLETE (Went up to 8.9k)]
· Improve youth recruiting once more [INCOMPLETE (Board is a bitch to please)]
· Improve youth facilities (Currently rented) [COMPLETED (due 4/10/2015)]
· Retain current first team squad in the transfer window. [COMPLETED]
· Get 3 current youth players into the first team squad [COMPLETED (I count 4 including Sarcevic)]
Real struggle with the wage and recruiting, infact with promotion clauses wages are up to 12.4k!
Next Season Targets
· Avoid Relegation
· Improve finances/ Reduce wage bill (from £12.k p/w to 8k again)
· Improve youth recruiting once more
· Retain current first team squad in the transfer window
· Integrate another youth player into the first team and one into the subs
Stothy- Congrats on the promotion. Mutenza looks like he good be a very nice poacher.

A woman was taken to the hospital and a boat ended up in ditch as a result of a crash Wednesday on Eisenhower Road, the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office reported.
The wreck was reported at 6:19 p.m. west of 179th Street.
A 1998 Ford F-150 pickup truck that was pulling a camper trailer stalled in traffic.
A 40-year-old Lansing man who was driving a 2011 GMC Sierra with a boat trailer pulled into the other lane to pass the stalled vehicle. The man apparently did not initially see a 2009 Mercury Milan that was approaching from the opposite direction.
He tried to pull back into his lane of traffic to avoid a collision, but the Milan struck the boat trailer, according to a report from the Sheriff's Office.
Rick Huhn, chief of Leavenworth County Fire District No. 1, said a boat on the trailer was knocked into a ditch.
The Milan's driver, an 86-year-old rural Leavenworth woman, was transported by Leavenworth County EMS to Providence Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., according to the Sheriff's Office report.
The GMC truck had significant damage. The boat and trailer also was damaged. The GMC truck and Milan were towed from the scene.

Ordered one of these previously. At first, it took a bit of time to get used to the idea and feel. But after using it for a couple of weeks, I have grown to like it.

How exactly would you type with this thing on your finger?
Why the Hell would anyone want to finger a mouse?
Frequently Bought Together: Mouse,yeah, USB folding keyboard, makes sense, Bow Tie?!
Great! I've always wanted to give my mouse the finger!
@thelegendarystm: Hey, the Doctor says that "Bow Ties are Cool" :)
From the video, I think it is easy to see how hard it is to double click. Also, the light from the LED shining all over the place while you move your hand is an issue. Then there is the fact that while your typing, one finger has a heavy weight on it (the mouse).
After some getting used to (!?) I think the product would still suck. Just use the track pad.

This could be real handy.. fingery.. when I'm working with my stylistic tablet.
Watch the video I think you have to wear a full winter coat to use it.
Thats not a winter coat. It's one of those black plastic trash bag coats. Just as worthless as this finger mouse.
I bought one of these... I hate it.
Do not waste your time or money.
Bought one of these before on woot, good novelty, not practical though.

The topic of personal password management has been covered in great detail time after time. This question is aimed at the business or organization that needs to keep track of many unique passwords for many clients. What are some strategies/tools or ideas you all have for accomplishing this task?
I was at an Interactive Agency, where we needed to keep track of client DB, ftp, mail... and for different environments for the app so any one client would have up to 3-10 passwords usually. This can get crazy when there are more than 250 clients

What happened to all the deals for free amazon mp3 credits?
During the first half of 2012, it seemed like every month there was a posting in community deals for 2 or 3 dollars in free credit for amazon mp3s, but in recent months no such postings. Did they disappear because of the "free" tag? I want my mp3!
7 Answers answer
A search shows there has not been very many posted.
If someone finds a more recent one available, hopefully they will post it as a deal.
Last thing I saw for Amazon MP3 was for this deal I posted:
You can't get the discount anymore (after January 31st), but you can use the discount through February 28th.
It's a shame that with the "free" filtering, even if these do pop up and are shared here, most of us won't see them unless we really go look for it.
@djp519: do not question the woot deal gestapo.
In lieu of those mp3 credits, I've started using the iOS app called "App Trailers." I watch ads for apps, earn points, which can then be redeemed for gift cards to various places, including Amazon. I earn about $2/week. It's a gravy train, especially considering I don't actually watch the ads.
Woot's tag crushing did its job. People no longer bother posting free deals, whats the point if no one sees them? It also drove away many members that were unhappy with the changes. If the people that posted the deals are no longer active it becomes less and less likely you will see promotions like those posted.
@rayray8822: I'm absolutely going to try that. Small numbers like that can add up quick. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm starting to think getting smashed into the ground on a regular basis might not be too good for the body.
Consequences of doing judo long-term:
And hopefully, maybe, if you work at it, one might be able to cultivate some jita kyoei and seirokyu zenyo.
This is actually a very valid question. Consider that the NFL (U.S. football) is now going through a kind of falling out period whereby the athletes are becoming more and more aware of the growing risk of chronic brain injury over time. In the UFC, we're starting to see some questions regarding brain injury rates as well. And for a long time, we've known that boxing can really damage the brain.
In Judo, practitioners will constantly throw each other to the ground where they make a sudden slap and a thud. Whenever I entered judo training after a long hiatus, I would notice myself getting headaches. It only lasted the first day or two back, though. The sudden jostling around of the brain could cause injury over time, but I'm not sure that there is any data to support that hypothesis.
My gut feeling is that the forces on the brain during a judo breakfall are minor compared to that of getting punched in the head (something judo doesn't do). Judo breakfalls do slow the head motion while falling down so as to cushion the landing. It does so by using the neck muscles to gradually absorb the momentum of falling, so that the head doesn't just suddenly hit the ground.
But I have no idea what the forces are and whether they would affect brain physiology in the long-term.
In addition to breakfalls, there are chokes in Judo. Chokes work by applying a force against the arteries in the neck. This can be slow or sudden and sharp. The effect is to cut off the blood supply to the brain. It can also trigger a nervous system reflex to suddenly drop blood pressure, thereby instantly causing someone to pass out. Both will restrict blood flow to the brain. In addition, they can have an effect on the heart. And, in rare cases, they could dislodge arterial plaque into the bloodstream, causing a stroke.
Obviously, chokes could have some effect on long-term health.
Then there are back injuries, neck injuries, shoulder injuries, knee problems, hip problems, sprains and strains, and so on.
One interesting thing to point out is that there is very active self-policing going on in judo itself. The International Judo Federation (IJF) has banned many popular judo throws due to safety concerns. They get together once a year to look over injury rates during competition for all of the throws, and when they notice a particular throw causing more serious injuries than other ones, they might ban it.
EDIT: Dave Liepmann pointed out that morote-gari is not a good example of this. It was not actually banned for safety reasons. However, Kani Basami was banned due to the higher risk of knee injuries.
You can actually see a video showing the entire list of IJF banned throws (from 2010) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhOmAyjTimc
So, bottom line is that Judo as a whole is very concerned about injuries. When I trained in Judo, our school didn't have a "macho" attitude about things (and I've never seen a macho attitude at any judo school I've visited). Safety was always the top concern.
Anyway, I post this to clarify the main question, rather than answering it directly. I don't know of any long-term health studies. Those are what you really want. If anyone has them, post them.
Anecdotally, Judo can be absolutely brutal on your body:
Going beyond mere anecdotes gives us better quality information.
A few key points from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9487650 where 8 Judo practitioners were followed for 16 years, and their fingers were examined:
http://judoinfo.com/research11.htm has a study on competition injuries for the young.
Know Yourself
A wise quote from an anime...
You can mitigate risk. Here are some tips, I hope they help, and I hope you don't have to learn things the hard way:
Be Sensible and Self Select,
Everybody is different. Some people are flexible, some people are born with the genes for good cardio. Everybody has different motivations. Judo is a choice. Does it make sense for you?
When looking at the statistics for injuries, remember that some people will drop out of Judo because they should. If you discover your body is the type to be extremely likely to be badly injured from an activity like Judo, then it wouldn't make sense to do it.
I think you can answer two-way to your questions.
1st, long term risk to your body depends on how you train. If you have bad habits, and you apply useless strain on your body, it WILL catch up to you (at 40 some morning I feel like I have the knees and the back of a 60's). But its also part my fault. My mom ( who was also my 1st coach) always told me to take care and not land on my knees after finishing some throws ... but well I was young and enthusiasm lead to excess.
2nd would be injuries. Those will happens in any sports where you train extensively and cant be prevented, accident do happens. Those are more specifics to each person.
as for judo specifics injuries, I'd say back problem, most major articulation (ankle, knees, elbows ) problem and fingers ( huge strain are placed on fingers, and people often forget to exercises them correctly) are the most common. I've never seen/heard a judoka with chronic headache or concussion related problem yet.
After years of getting choked, thrown, taken down to the ground, arm barred, knee barred I can say it does take a toll on your body. I'm 53 and can still hold my own against guys half my age but I can say that I do feel it. Knees, elbows, fingers however if I don't train I feel worse. You can't fix time. It's just part of getting older. Accept it.

Right now, cats are suffering. The Loews Royal Pacific, Loews Portofino, and Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando Resorts in Orlando, Florida—self-proclaimed "animal-friendly" hotels—made the cruel decision to start trapping and removing the cats who've called their property home for years. These cats are being left unattended inside traps, in 89-degree heat, and their caregivers have been forbidden from feeding them. Loews has resisted our calls to stop the trapping—only a massive public outcry can stop this inhumane treatment. Add your name to stand with Alley Cat Allies and demand that Loews stop this cruelty toward cats today.

I have being doing problems from the released AP BC Calcululs Free-Response questions, and I have come to realize that I don't have a very good idea of explain or a deep understanding of how to tell if a particle is moving to the orgion (pole?).
Example 2005 AP BC Free-Response Question #2.
The curve above is drawn in the $xy$-plane and is described by the equation in polar coodinates $r =\theta +\sin\left(2\theta\right)$ for $0\leq \theta \leq \pi$, where $r$ is measured in meters and $\theta$ is measured in radians. The derivative of $r$ with respect to $\theta$ is given by $\frac{\mathrm{d}r}{\mathrm{d}\theta} = 1 + 2\cos\left(2\theta\right)$.
(c) for $\frac{\pi}{3} < \theta < \frac{2\pi}{3}$, $\frac{\mathrm{d}r}{\mathrm{d}\theta}$ is negative. What does this fact say about $r$? What does this fact say about the curve?
I have learned from doing problems and reading the answers that if the derivative is negative its getting closer to the origin. However, I have no clear understanding why?
I don't trust my justification:
Just as with the Cartesian coordinate system, when the 1st derivative is negative the particle is decreasing, moving downward, thus in the polar coordinate system that is moving to the origin.

Kitchen Mission
Project Name
Kitchen Mission
Jarrod Hicks
Based on discussion at the Rebase meeting and further kitchen meeting(s). I am proposing a single wall minimum storage kitchen layout. This would be a greatly slimmed down kitchen with less to clean and maintain. It is focused on hacking and events. Items removed would be: food storage, refrigerator, closed cabinets, and the island.
See the plans below:

What Will Be Done
(Based on the 07/09/2013 Rebase meeting, this proposal is being modified to include a refrigerator and no longer change the 3 compartment sink.)
I am proposing a quick initial demo phase and then a longer rebuilding phase.
Phase 01:
The first phase is a demo cleaning phase. While it may sound drastic, it will not leave the kitchen with any less functionality then is intended in the final phase.
Phase 01 includes removal of the food storage and a severe reduction of the cabinet space.
All food will be removed from the kitchen. The refrigerator will be emptied and recycled. Items in the cabinets will be reorganized, donated, or discarded. Temporary open wire shelves will be used to hold the remainder of the existing stuff. The kitchen island will be demolished except for the stove (The Noisebridge mosaic will be preserved). and the area of the island under the stove will be opened up. The cabinets will be removed from the kitchen, broken down, and placed in the dump pile for removal. A bracket will be installed to support the existing shelf over the sink. The remaining equipment, floor, and the area of the kitchen will be deep cleaned. Safe pest control stuff may also be used.
Phase 02 is a longer cleaning, improving, and rebuilding phase.
A period of cleaning and ongoing pest control will occur while the new kitchen equipment is being sourced, built and installed. The goal of phase two is to create a more useful and more accessible kitchen. All major equipment and counters conform, at least, to ADA guidelines whenever possible.
OVEN and MICROWAVE: The double oven should be replaced with a more reliable single oven and lower to the ground. This will go where the refrigerator is currently. This will be installed in a full height cabinet which will also contain the microwave. Above this will be shelves to hold the hacking/event equipment: chafing dishes, burners, fermentation tools and so on.
SINK: The existing 3 compartment sink will be removed and replaced with a single basin sink. A counter will be built/sourced for this new basin. Our existing faucet hardware and disposal could probably be reused. A wide shallow basin should be used to allow knee space under it.
STOVE: The existing stove top will be mobilized; built into a new counter top with wheels attached. The stove will be outfitted with an electrical plug connector and outlets will be installed in areas likely for the stove to be used. An extension cable may also be appropriate. Under normal conditions the stove will be stored next to the sink.
COFFEE: An area for a coffee cart and preparation space is reserved next to the stove, but the details of this will be part of a separate, future project.
STORAGE: Above the sink, drying racks will be installed for dish drying and storage. The upper rack will continue over the stove and coffee area for cookware storage and hanging. Storage for knives and utensils will be attached the walls near the sink.
SIGNAGE: Signs suggesting to donating food to other local organizations and their details will be posted for those that wish to distribute food more excellently.

Why This Will Be Good
Removing food storage means less for pests to eat and less spoilage. Reducing the day to day utility of the kitchen will reduce its use and in turn the cleaning and sanitation burden of the kitchen. Removing storage and counter space will lessen the extents of the typical mess and clutter of the kitchen so that it has less impact on the east side of the Noisebridge space. Along with reducing the utility, removal of the refrigerator will lessen electricity costs.
Why This Will Be Bad
People like having a full kitchen and this will disappoint them. The refrigerator can be a useful tool if it is maintained.
How Long Will It Take
Phase 01 could be done in a day.
Phase 02 depends on availability of funds, appliances, and materials. Most of the work could be done in a few days and Noisebridge could remain open during the construction.
In A Fantastic World, What Extra Budget Would You Like
Money for counter and cabinet materials. Decent condition appliances.
