btw the 'listen me boy!!!' bit made me lol.
I am a bit perplexed! I try to set my training/coaches set-up to get the most stars for each discipline - yet when I click off and come back to training the computer has changed it so one coach is doing multiple tasks!!! I have tried the manager/options/settings but I cannot see how to stop this. And feedback would be great thanks.
First impressions of the demo is fantastic despite only playing about 2 weeks, the detail that has gone into is amazing espiecailly with the knowledge. I know on fm 2010 in the profile section there was a lil bit saying clubs interested in you: despite a club being interested was nevert shown and i see that them options are availble and i hope they come up now and i noticed the other managers had options like management handling with the bar full or not. Sorry about the rambling but IMO its little things like that that make the game that bit more better
Great work and the effort is amazing to those invloved (Y)
I'm impressed with the improvements in the 3D engine.
It looks so much better than before and is much smoother on top of it.
The only thing I don't like is players scoring waaaay to many lobbed goals from outside the area. And I mean cracking goals. Didn't expect this quality when Solihull Moors hired me!
But... the 3d match engine is a joy. The TV camera is perfect and if you could just save your replays to a video format instead of waiting to upload them, it would be simply amazing.
I'm really liking it so far. The new UI is much neater, I like how transfer between clubs in your division get reported and the new match engine is a lot better than the mediocre one from last year. Looking forward to the full version.
Big thumbs up to the game :-)
Player stats could be alot better though! And what are those black dots at the side of the pitch in 2d mode? Physios? Look a bit tacky and wrong.
For the games i play, unfortunately we will have to wait for another FM to see implement the animations where a player dribbles the gk and score a goal!
I'm very, very early on in my first impressions here, but there is one thing that stood out as something I very much don't like regarding the new negotiation system. On the first day of the game, I offered Robert Pires a contract. At this stage, lots of other teams were interested, but they were only "minor" interests, so I offered quite a low figure. A bit of negotiation was done, and we eventually reached a figure. The agent said they'd consider it and come back to me. It was still quite low in my opinion compared to what I WOULD be willing to pay, if there were more offers. I pressed continue, and sure enough, I got news that Celtic, West Ham, and Everton had offered him contracts.
I'm managing West Brom, so at this point I know I needed to offer more. In past Football Manager games, when I get competition from clubs higher up for a player I really want, I would cancel my existing contract offer, and go back in and offer a higher one. So I cancelled the existing contract offer, and went onto "Approach to Sign" again.
"My client isn't currently prepared to restart these discussions following the previous breakdown in talks".
Oh. Well that's that then.
For what it's worth, I actually agree with the whole "not willing to talk" thing after previous recent talks went badly. But surely, if the objective is greater realism, then while they are still considering an offer you should be able to go back and say "actually, we'd like to offer you more"? As it is, you can only do the old-style cancelling of the contract, except you can no longer go and offer them a better contract, as now talks have supposedly "broken down". I keep pressing continue to see if he's willing to talk again yet, but it keeps saying the same thing. It's a bit annoying, to be honest.
Hmmm. It is possible for the player to come back to you and negotiate for a higher offer to match those from other clubs. However it might be a nice addition for you to be able to take the initiative and attempt to sweeten the deal.
Then again, you never know what other clubs will offer. A very very good player turned Chelsea down to come to me, not entirely sure why.
Two things I've noticed:
My widgets stack over each other when a new match starts almost every time. They stay on the proper side (e.g. the ones on the left stay there, but they stack, same for right side) no matter how many times I reset them in the match.
Second: When going to the finance panel, the summary tab doesn't auto-load, you just get blank fields until you switch to another tab. Summary shows fine afterwards.
A minor third irritation: The match facts widget in-game has some weird bar displays. They work fine for absolute numbers (e.g. shots) but when it starts using percentages, it's as if it's just barely going to one side or the other to show who has the higher percentage, instead of actually representing a margin of superiority. Not a huge deal, but it does make it hard to tell if you are seriously doing better or worse than the opposition at a quick glance.
This is a certain purchase. The features are very lush, definite improvement over the versions introduced in FM10. The graphics are about optimum for size and quality, though some more realistic shaping of the players (they all look like hunchbacks) would be nice. Don't want the graphics of the games themselves too lush or you drive out people with low-end systems, and if we wanted to play FIFA11, we would. I have seen several things added to this version that are going to suck me into some serious playing-around-with in coming weeks; around every corner is a new fun toy. And I especially love the banner crawl during the match analysis where information about you the coach, etc. can be displayed as seen through the eyes of the media.
Brilliant .... Absolutely brilliant .. the game is way better than FM10 ... Now tactically ... every change ... every shout ... makes sense ... the match engine is a beauty ... attacking and defending .. AMAZING .. and the varieties in attacks are amazing .. Thanks SI !!
Just had a nice little feature where I went to talk to a player that was unhappy with me. The first thing he said was "So what have I done this time?"
First Impressions of the game are good overall. I like the improved ME graphics and the matches have a nice flow about them. Been playing as City and manged to play some neat little passing football. The only fault i have noticed in the Match engine was when Mario Balotelli pick up the ball at the half way line, ran though both the midfield and the defense unchallenged and slot it in the bottom comer. Not complaining since it was my players goal but 8 players and no one closed him down seems a bit strange.
The only other problem i have encounter in the game is that it sometimes freezes when its setting up the match screen. This happened all the time in windows mode the only way to wake the game up was to Ctrl-Alt-Dealt the game. I ended up missing most of the first half. Happened once in fullscreen just now when the game crashed, lost the save but i was only messing. Anyway a slightly annoying problem but over all good game looking forward to the full version.
As far as I can tell this isn't a bug, and I don't think it fits into data issues, so I'll post it here.
When you customise your squad columns the columns for "clean sheets" is entitled "clean sheet bonus" once you actually put it in your view. "Clean sheet bonus" also comes up as "clean sheet bonus" but correctly shows the bonuses.
Presumably the first one will therefore record clean sheets, so it's just the header that needs to be edited.
Please change the "person age" in the transfer search filters to just "age", as this is where people will expect to find this filter in the alphabet. There are a couple of others with a similar issue.
Also, please slow down the animation of the goalkeeper's legs when he is running up to take a goal kick as it presently looks a bit like roadrunner.
I have to say I'm impressed, I've been playing the demo most of the last 24 hours and have seen fewer bugs than in the same amount of initial playing time last year.
Some pluses and a couple of small minuses.
+++ The interface is refined wonderfully.
+ The matchengine seems first class.
+ Player animations are first class.
+ Player interaction seems good on the whole
- Why oh why does it still assume that we're all monolingual? "You've taken the job without being able to speak Italian" - where's the "[SNIP] you, I have a degree in Italian" answer option?
- The player chat has lots of potential but at times players can seem like petulant teens. Taddei from Roma, educated, mature, socially aware, comes across like one of the bitchy teens from the Harry Enfield show. Too many liberties were taken with it and the risk its it could all get a bit FIFA managery.
Overall though, good work

Hmmm, there are some players going for rather less than they should, maybe something to do with leagues not being active - Coentrao, Axel Witsel, Pocognoli are some examples. Also the Bolton board sold Gary Cahill to me for £6m, which is a bit low I think.
It's not really a bug but still bothers me
I have a player who's unable to play due to medical reason for the next 4 months. So I dropped him to reserves. He's not training nor he's playing anyway. Now he's unhappy. Why ? It doesn't matter if he's in reserves or in the first team. I can't even explain to him why. There is no such option in a private conversation.
Still no fix for the non-British reputation problem.
loving the game thus far, encountered my first issue tjust now though as soon as i try to get the board to interact on a transfer nothing happens
I have a question about celebration....
Why do some players celebrate all ALONE?
Why his team mates don't run up to him, hug , kiss, touch his body parts... lol
first of all, English not my first language, but wish my post would be understandable ..
each year, used to be optimistic and can't wait to buy the new verion for this game, and considering the step forward from FM08 to FM09, then FM09 to FM10, I think FM11 really disappointed me.
the positives are : board requests + Match Preperation, but don't know if the later could really help or not ( at least why no training match or movies ? ) , even board requests, it wouldn't make any difference that before, a bit similar things, the only changes in the game about it's more steps .. same with contracts, or like once i sacked a coach, there option in the news inbox to replace him if he was Reserve coach ( this could be done in past version ) ..
Training slighty improved, but still no real schedules which lower league fans like, no training matach ( which could effect on players form or morale ) , no changes once you want particular tour ( improve morale or fitness or techinque etc.. ) , no development for Youth Players system ( like if you want to start to manage Youth teams U16 or U18 only and explore young lads from schools ) , no system made for teams used to have DoF who had the final control in transfers & availabilty for change if the results or financial problems happened ? , no availabilty to be DoF ( for people who like to make ins and outs ) ..
people could suggest i didn't look a the bright side in the game, for sure i'm happy with improved 3rd matches, but i think these things must be expected, because everything developed in the last two years about HD, we wish key things make the game more realistic and challenging ! Also the changes in backroom staff didn't mean that much in the game, if i've a money, and sacked the Assistant manager each day, the board wouldn't say anything even if the coach doing well ! and still other staff could easily join me despite my treatment for my assistants ! ( same with players ! ) ..
also, no more favourite teams, we can't add favourite persons, we can't add favourite system, we can't add particular staff as friends who could prefere to join me everywhere appointed as manager, for ex, if I won A champions-league with Barcelona, and decided to quit and then join 1st division club, why i can't take my world class Assistant ( who i picked as favourite friend ) to be my No.2 too ? it wouldn't happen at all as those world Class or highly rated coachs would only join top clubs.
Feel sorry for my criticism, I've used to be big fan, but it's the first time i'm really disappointed with the new verion, anyway, would thank SI for their work and this version, and hope they will take my criticism as constructive one .
cheers !
This might be a daft question but in all the other Fm's i used to change the squad screen to overview (classic way/iphone game) where the whole 1st team squad on the one screen so that it wasn't just a big list.
I can't find it on the demo, have they taken away or am i just being a tube?
The managers you set up at the very beginning of the game are primitive and some change really would have been good change. They've been around the same for a while, I think. You can't make yourself the club's real manager (there's always that Alex Ferguson or whoever floating around in the database wondering why he's been sacked), you can't do things like determine which countries you played in so you're always monolingual if you don't take a second nationality.
Game's awesome, though. Really can't wait, the demo never has most of the things I like to mess around with in it. Is it just me or are press conferences easier now? I'm not getting my team's good defenders annoyed anymore when I say my team has good defenders. Maybe it's just small sample size.
My thoughts about the demo so far:
- New interface is easy to navigate round and looks good
- ME is brilliant. It runs smooth and the graphics and animations have been improved
- Live negotiations now make contracts more interesting and realistic
- Press conferences less dull now and answers make more sense
- Player interact system is really useful, I use it a lot
Something I've struck a head scratcher with:
One player in my team is now (Alienated) Unhappy with his manager's team talks.
Now unless the player tells me exactly what it is that I've said wrong on match day then how am I meant to be able to work towards a fix to their problem??
Realism would be "I am unhappy (or whatever emotion) that you said "this" before/at half time/after the such and such game, - at least then I could look into where the player thinks I'm going wrong.
Edit: Or am I looking at the wrong thing?? I'm looking at the Assistant Manager Team Talk Feedback.
All in all i like the demo and i'm sure the game will be another i spend upto 3 months of my life in the next year or so playing. There are a few things that have caught my eye that i feel are wrong/should be added....
1. Ability to input the amount of international caps you have when first creating your manager profile (should you select experience level as international footballer).
2. Ability to add multiple favorite clubs when creating a new manager profile.
3. (Taken from a post #1142) Ability to add playing history (including clubs, apperances, honors, etc) when creating a new manager.
5. (Taken from a post #1142) Option to play as a real manager.
3. I caught a glance at my brothers game, checked Leeds out and found Peter Risdale on the bloody icon list.... Are you being serious?! Also no Jack Charlton?!
4. Choice of different colour boots in the editor (can't be that hard to implement and would add a bit of colour to the game and realism as it's not the 60's anymore lol).
5. Players in the 3D match viewer don't have numbers on the back of their shirts (that i can see anyway and i'm using the TV camera angle, though this could be a detail issue).
6. Should be able to have talks with players who are unhappy with you again after a set amount of time. Clear the air talks if you will. (Bare in mind this may be possible as i'm only 7 games into the demo so maybe i'll see in in the future)
7. Full game should be out today rather than in two weeks time :P
8. Ability to add future stadium expansions (not new stadiums) via the editor (may already be possible but we'll have to wait and see).
Thats roughly all i can think of right now. I know, small things but small details can make a big difference. But again, game looks good and can't wait for the full version!

I think I found a bug in the demo. As I am dutch the game installed in dutch language, but as I'm not fond of the at times awkward translations from english, I always switch to english language right away. So yesterday I did the same, and suddenly I saw that the headings of the 'team-talk' at the end of a game (where the 1st and 2nd-half ratings are, and where you can choose 'well done, good result' and such) were still in dutch, when everything else was in english like it was supposed to.
Apart from that little bug the game seems a nice improvement on the last version, especially the 3d engine looks nice, and is good to watch even on my low-graphics netbook, but as I can only play half a season I didn't bother much going into the details much. Just played some friendlies with East Stirlingshire, to find out if everything works nicely on my netbook..
What did strike me as odd was that every game I played (several away, also on mainland europe) the scenery around the stadiums seemed identical, and unmistakably typically british. But apart from britain I believe towns don't look at all like that and this is not a very common surrounding for a stadium in Holland fort example. It might be a coïncidence that I just picked the wrong clubs to play against, didn't try far extremes like Al-Hilal away or something, but I hope whén I play at Al-Hilal the scenery is less british than this. But maybe it's a stripped demo version and there's only a couple of surroundings available.

There seems to be a problem with some night games. I dont know if it is associated with certain types of stadiums. When i choose to have a friendly at home with AFC wimbledon for example on the 14th July at 19.45 its fine, u can tell its a night match. I then tried a new game with Man u and had an inter squad friendly on the 2nd day (game time) again a 19.45 kick off and this time no night affect and then i tried an anyway game on the 14th July at 19.45 and that was showing as no night affects. This happens on other games aswell, i think its certian grounds that are having this problem. SI can you look into this please??
Is anyone else having the old FM10 problem of 20 shots a match, 18 of them straight at the keeper?
Just a couple cosmetic things: the windows 95 blue is simply disgusting. The attributes graphic is too saturated and it is difficult to see the polygon within it. I thought the 2010 skin was perfect. Why change it?
edit: my god, I thought those things were bad, but the transfer offer screen is just ridiculous. It looks like someone took a screen shot of the original Mac OS X and combined it with a black-colored window frame from windows xp.
IMHO, the 2010 skin was the probably best looking interface design I've seen. I've been wishing there was a complete windows skin with the same feel. This year everything looks thrown together at the last minute.

Just to add another couple of things:
- The speech bubbles are annoying and look like something out of a game for under 10's - really highlights the "dumbing down" of everything
- There is no option to mark a news item as "unread"
It's reminding me more and more of FM09. Bloated with stuff that isn't needed, I still can't see how everyone's getting so excited over it to be honest. If only they'd taken FM10 and fixed what was wrong with that instead of adding and changing everything, would've been perfect otherwise. Uninstalled now.
Right having had a little go with both Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke last night here are my impressions based purely on the demo.
1) Love the new layout, and even the skin that's attracted some criticsm for brigthness (hey, turn the lights in your house up and the brightness of your screen down!)
2) There are some fantastic touches I saw like the individual player training screen accessible from their profiles. With percentages of workload etc. Excellent touch.
3) The match engine is just drop dead gorgeous. I spent some time with it on elevated and main stand view, and then flipped to TV mode. Boy, I'm never taking it off that for the main highlights now. Love all the new animations, players with hands on hips, sulking, and even aeroplanes after scoring.
4) Agents - great addition, loving how everything is in real time - it's like a mini game in its own right.
5) Manager interactions - far greater improved - fantastic that you can now comment on the teams strengths and weaknesses, and comment on the managers style. I had Hitzfield compliment my Sheffield Wednesday team's passing after a 0-1 Friendly defeat. What a nice man!
Only negative - I'm not fond of the tactics screen this year. It's difficult to keep track of whos on the pitch and who isn't when you have 12 subs. I'm sure I'll get used to it with time though.
To sum up. Some great little touches that add so much to last years incarnation. Can't wait for 5th November now.
I'm having a slight issue with the demo. I use five different match info boxes (or what do you call them) during matches. I also use windowed mode, and it seems that every time I leave fm11 in the background and click it back again, those boxes are all over the place in the next match. Seems like those had lined up for a different resolution while I was browsing other windows.
Having a lot of long shots on the demo, even though I have it on low creativity, long shots on rarely and 'work into box' enabled.
someone was saying they upset their players by moving them to the reserves, so they could play in an inter club friendly. he said he had to move them, cos making them 'elligible for the reserves' didn't work
i thought i'd test this and he's absolutely right.
i set half my first team as 'elligible for reserves' from the team selection screen and then i set the rest of my team. then i click continue and my assman has only selected his team from the rest of the reserves squad and ignored those players i made elligible...
*edit* i started again and this time made them elligible for the reserves the day before the match. same problem.
my guess is the only way to do it is to what the original guy did and move them to the reserves, but then they get upset...
seems daft that you cant get them to play each other

Christ the bright skin again, surely SI enough people have complained about that previously!
Why only the bright skin out of the box ..... how difficult is it to give people 2 or 3 options for skins!
Very disappointed, sticking with FM2010
PLEASE make asap a dark skin available for the demo...
massively im actually able to sign players at what i call a fair price, ...over the odds if not listed but not to high & low if listed or needed ...this for me is great and what the games needed for the last 4 years...altough it may be the same as last years engine lol
im not keen on match day prep or agents (because they rip me off) and i really dot get how to work the set piece creator but i agree there all very realistic additions to the game enhancing your manager experiance
I regularly get the message that person x wants to join my team (staff members), but then they are NOT interested in a contract negociation...
then i select U18 players for my bench of the senior squad, and they have the same 'Ine', which i get round by moving them to the first team squad.
then it goes to the match, and i done get to select the reserves team at all!!!
- the agents are asking astronomic sums,
- the "new" training "system"... euh... where is it ?!
How come so many teams don't have a transfer budget or have a very small one?
Started a game with AC Milan and surprised to see they have no money to spend in the transfer market, is that right? - then checked out a host of others and was shocked to see they too were being offered £0 to spend in the transfer market.
My team is finally getting in shape after 3 matches
The 3-d view has been improved, even if that horrible "holiday on ice" effect is still here.
Same thing every year - I've preordered the game as soon as it was available, and promised myself I wouldn't download the demo...then yesterday I do it, I say to myself I have to tweak around with tactics, get familiar with training, scouting etc. to have a foundation for the time when FM is released, so I can dig into first season as soon as possible...now 6 months have finished and all I can do is wait looooong two weeks for the game, I've suddenly lost interest in FM2010...
The good side is I love the new game and can't wait to play it, but this demo has ruined my next two weeks...
Strange. I spent all day yesterday watching the clock and trying to make it go faster, then when I got home I only played for 2 hours. The Demo certainly didn't grab me the way I had hoped/expected.
The new training & set pieces creator (which is nothing of the sort) will be more useful for noobs than veterans.
I've never been interested in transfers and contracts, so agents don't really affect my style.
Player interactions & pre-match training are medium term things, so I didn't really see them in action. Obviously, DLR & better newgens are long term things that the demo won't touch.
On the plus side: the match engine looks great and seems to handle wide-play much better. I was getting goals from crosses in my friendlies.
I do love the way you can skip quickly through press conferences. Makes me much more likely to attend. Haven't seen any sign of all those new questions, though.
Hopefully, playing properly over the weekend will get me into the total immersion stuff.
Initial impressions: no big difference from FM 2010.

And this couldn't be posted in the demo feedback thread?
I got in a huge fight with Jô for putting him on the transferlist xD
Not a fan YET!
Light skin a big put off!!!
Too many long shots even though low creativity, no long shots and work into box.
Played as Chelsea for couple of games and players couldnt hit a barn door even in 6 yard box.
Back to FM10 for abit i think.
I guess you're right about that...sorry. If possible a mod could move this there.
So far so good...
Just one complaint/suggestion regarding 3D views. It would have been nice to improve the 3D camera angles with this years game (TV view is ok) but a slightly more zoomed in and 'flatter' look to Touchline and Sideline views would have been perfect - or at least the option for us to tweak them ourselves.
I've seen a very good addition regarding mutual termination of contract...Kaka has about 11 mil € yearly wage, when I tried to sell him he accepted an offer but wanted me to pay 6,25 mil. yearly untill end of his contract (untill 2015), then I tried to mutually terminate his contract and his response was that he was so confident to find another club that he agreed to terminate his contract without any compensation. A very good deal for me, considering about 30 milions payment if I sold him for 10 mil.
I like the demo it's really good imo. However I have a question. When offering a player a new contract(my own player). I have found that I can't click confirm offer until he agrees. Then my player still has to accept. Is that right or am I missing something. Sorry if it has been covered before and sorry if it is in the wrong place.
ok, here's a wierd one
when i create a tactic, say a 4-4-2, i get to step 8 and it says, in red for effect:
"A tactic with that name already exists, the tactic will be overwritten"
now my 4-4-2 is available on my dropdown tactics
so, if i then go and set individual tactics and such, and try to save it with the same name i get:
"A tactic with the name '4-4-2' already exists but cannot be overwritten."
so i save it with the name 4-4-2a, then go onto manage tactics, and delete the 4-4-2 i created, and it still wont let me call this one 4-4-2.
i know in previous FM games you couldn't call your tactic the same name as the default tactics, but not it seems to initially let me do that, but then only when i use the tactics creator, and not subsequently. very odd and vaguely annoying

Fabio did you get the game to work?
All flavours of the DEMO now available via torrents, direct downloads and STEAM - http://www.footballmanager.com/demo
While I think the game is a great improvement overall, I find there are some defensive issues with the ME. I feel the marking and decision making is awful at times. Especially when on a counter over the flank, my central defenders often close down on the winger leaving the centre wide open. I also find that there are ridiculous amounts of space between the central defenders and the fullbacks/wingbacks. That said, it could all be my tactics.
Will play some more to see if it's me or the ME
So far so good generally, some little niggles though:
1. When setting up tactics the right hand screen sometimes randomly changes from formation to player instructions if you click to see a player profile and then go back to the tqactics screen, this is quite annoying as you have to set it back to formation every time you want to look at a player in more detail when you are setting things up.
2. Player unhappiness, I let my Assistant (sammy Lee) handle a few friendlies and all of a sudden 4 or 5 of my senior players are worried by a lack of discipline (which I know comes from not responding players getting sent off), when i go in to talk to have a private chat with some of them such as Poulsen and Cole they dont beleive anything I say (past experience: international footballer so respect should be there) there is no possible way of getting them to come round and the relationship breaks down,they then ask to be transferred. Even Gerrard and Caragher after talks came round but then randomly asked to be transferred,which was ridiculous! This could become a real problem as it seems one small issue spread like wildfire and there was literally no way to deal with it.
New features seem awesome though!
One more thing to love... The derbies and the descriptions on the team info sheet. i.e. Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheff United (Steel City Derby). England vs Scotland (The Auld Enemy). Love that touch!
Sorry for not responding about this Bale comments on his flair, I've been at the San Siro watching Tottenham. As for Bale's flair, I would not say he is a paticularly flair type player. He's not the sort of player to do number of step-overs, little flicks. It could possibly be slightly up from 9 but his game is not about flair. He is about dribbling, crossing and acceleration. Also in regards to a comment about research being out of date with Palacios and Keane being best rated players for their positions, this is not the case.
Ok, overall, I'm impressed with the demo.
I have only one huge disappointment. The "set piece creator". It' nothing but a graphical representation of the old system. And a poor one at that. It adds nothing new at all. In fact it even takes away some options. For example, only one player can be placed at each position. Whereas on Fm10, certainly two , (perhaps more, I've never tried) could be placed in each position, certainly on corners.
I also would have liked to see several variable set-ups be created for use at various times during the game, depending on the score. i.e. needing an equaliser, holding on to a lead etc...
Its probably too late for it to be corrected, but I was hoping and expecting something new and exciting. All we got was a cosmetic makeover.
P.S.- also the problem regarding the widgets in annoying, but I do read that is on the to-do list.

/\ Blatant, I was at the San Siro post /\
Overall the game is an excellent and certainly an improvement on FM10, the match graphics and chatting with players is certianly a highlight.
The cons to the game as I have seen are
Strange International call ups; In Capellos first England squad Curtis Davies and Danny Murphy were called up. I presume this is due to them being over-rated by the researchers. Danny Murphys stats in particular look on the high side.
Strange wage demands. Paul Scholes and Edwin Van der Sar, asked for 20k a week pay rises, at there age I'm quite sure they wouldnt be looking for increases in pay, more likely they are looking for stability, as they wouldnt get large contracts elsewhere.
I also agree that Chelsea seem to sign a ridiculous amount of players.

The adult version of these bears are no animal to recon with especially when they are on the prowl for food. Of course you wouldn't think that the adorable face you see before you now could ever maul someone, but they could. Let's not think about that now. Instead lets focus on drawing a baby grizzly which is going to be both fun and simple. I do hope that you will all enjoy this lesson. I have to go now, but I will return in a bit with more tuts. Peace out people.

I have a pre MKII NN3 which I use with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikor 10.5 Fisheye.
The D7000 is heavier than the D80 that I used to use. This additional weight causes the upper arm to sometimes slip downards slightly as the camera is rotated. Is there a way to replace the upper arm of the NN3 with a Quick release clamp and an R1/R10 lens ring/clamp?

BLOOMINGDALE - The Edison and Indian Creek football teams meet at 7 p.m. Saturday at Kettlewell Memorial Stadium for the 20th edition of their Route 43 Bowl rivalry.
Wildcats' head coach Mike McKenzie and Redskins head coach Andrew Connor have developed depth to this battle of Ohio Valley Athletic Conference and Buckeye 8 foes in the past six years with the addition of a traveling trophy sponsored by the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School and the Dr. Butterfield MVPs of the Game where each team votes for the opposing teams most valuable player.
Perhaps the best addition McKenzie and Connor made to the rivalry took place Wednesday night with the sixth-annual Sportsmanship Banquet at the JVS which brings together coaches, players, trainers, and cheerleaders from both schools along with administrators and board members from both school districts, both schools' boosters, and Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla, who escorts the visiting team to the game each year.

SPEAKER — Main speaker John Kuczykowski, flanked by Indian Creek head coach Andrew Connor and Edison head coach Mike McKenzie, speaks during the Wildcats' and Redskins' Sportsmanship Banquet Wednesday.
-- Fred Younce
"It was something I had done at Indian Valley," said McKenzie. "When I was there Indian Valley played Claymont on Week 10, and before I got there they did it. After I got here, that second year, I talked to Andrew and he expressed what he wanted to do, and I was contacting them wanting to do the same thing. We had the same idea."
Added Connor, "I've been here a little longer than Coach (McKenzie) has been with rivalry, and I had talked to the previous two coaches about it, and we had always talked about it, but there was never any follow through. When Mike got the job it was immediate.
"He had done this at other schools he had been at, and I just thought this was something to celebrate the rivalry."
The night's main speaker, John Kuczykowski, feels the banquet adds to a strong rivalry, and credits Connor and McKenzie for their efforts.
"I think it does (add to the rivalry)," he said. "I think it increases the standard. Because of geography and logistics, Edison and Indian Creek is just a natural invented rivalry.
"Coach McKenzie and Coach Connor, with the class they provide with this banquet, bring up the intensity.
"It's a big deal. It's like a bowl game, a collegiate bowl game."
The banquet does more than just give an added intensity to the match up. It provides something teams don't usually experience during their week's preparation.
"It brings humanity to it," said McKenzie. "You see your opponent. They're typically faceless opponents because you see them with their helmets on film.
"It changes the dynamic going into game night. There's a different feel to the rivalry."
Indian Creek senior Shane Winland concurred with McKenzie's notion.
"I feel it's nice," he said. "You get to see faces from the other team you'll be playing that you don't get to see normally because helmets are on. It adds to the game."
Continued Indian Creek senior Frankie Kamarec, "You get to know them a little bit. Get to see them in this friendly environment, and then you get to go hit them Saturday. It adds to the fun."
Added Connor, "It shows them the importance of it. I think any time you do something a little out of the ordinary, a little different than what you do any other week, it shows the importance of that week.
"You're coming out here spending time with the team you're going to play kind of shows respect for the game. I think that's the important part of this rivalry. That though it is heated and we play hard, the kids respect the fact the kids have grown up together, and that what we do between the whistles is not the same as what we do in a setting like this.
"I think it's important for the kids to understand there's a lot of different facets that go into a rivalry and this is one part of it."
Kuczykowski was honored to have been asked to speak at the event due to the respect it adds to the game.
"It was very heartfelt because, as I said, you and I don't travel this road alone," he said. "You surround yourself with the best people, in your judgment, that you can, and it's just two quality communities, and it was a privilege for me to address them and thank them tonight."
With all that surrounds it, the players feel an added importance to the game.
"It's become really big," said Edison senior Dylan Glasure. "Everyone wants to win, and we all just go out and play our hardest because we all know it's our last game."
Added Edison senior Jacob Ross, "This rivalry is everything. It's everything you look for during the season.
"You can't wait to get to that last game. We're all a community, and this is a friendly rivalry."
Edison senior Chris Graziani and Indian Creek senior Alex Young agreed with Ross about it being a friendly rivalry, and feel that makes it more fun to be a part of the game.
"We all have sportsmanship and we all play with heart," said Graziani. "When you're out on the field you feel like you have to play all out.
"It's an intense rivalry. Ever since my sophomore year I've loved playing in this game. I have great respect for Creek, and I hope we play well against them."
Added Young, "It gets the two teams together to show sportsmanship, and it gets us ready for Saturday. It's just two schools, close in proximity, that go at it on the football field. It's fun to be a part of."
That's not to say it doesn't take some adjustment before you break bread with your fiercest rival the week you are set to match up.
"When I was a sophomore it was weird, but now it's just a part of the rivalry," said Glasure. "Saturday we'll just go out and be ready to play."
Added Young, "It's a little odd. It doesn't feel normal, but I understand why we do it. It really does help the rivalry."
Connor and McKenzie have cultivated this game into a top-notch rivalry, and both believe it has come about as a combination of the players and community buying into the addition of the banquet along with the traveling trophy and the MVP awards.
"I think this is a unique rivalry," said Connor.
"We share Route 43, we're only a few minutes away, we have the same type of kids - hard-nosed, good kids - and this is a way to celebrate the kids and their hard work.
"It gives us something to play for. No matter what the end of the year is, the most important part of Week 10 is that trophy, and being able to hoist that trophy after the game for 365 days. I think it's made it special."
Continued McKenzie, "The trophy is one more piece to the rivalry along with the MVP trophies and the banquet. All those things plus we're game of week on TV for I believe the fifth year. All those little things add to make the rivalry more intense.
"Saturday will be different than other games. Our preparation isn't any different because we work hard every week, no matter who the opponent is each week. With all the little things though it adds intensity to the game night. It's palpable.
"You can feel it coming from the stands, from the people in the community. The fans are a little more energized for the rivalry."
Both coaches also remember how far the banquet itself has come since it debut during the 2007 season.
"It's come a long way since being at the church on Lovers Lane that first year to being at the JVS the last few," said McKenzie. "It added to the rivalry, and became one more thing to raise awareness in the community and increase the presence of the rivalry."
Added Connor, "I think going from where it started, like he said, on Lovers Lane in St. Pius' basement, to this, with the community involvement, and the packed house we'll play in front of Saturday night are all very important to our rivalry."
And the kids are looking forward to playing in front of that packed house Saturday.
"Of course it's a big game because it's Week 10, and this year it's a big game because we have to win to make the playoffs," said Winland. "The rivalry in general is just a big game because it's on TV, we're right up the road from each other, and it's just real important to us."
Continued Kamarec, "It means a lot. It's my senior year, on our last home game, against our neighboring school. This game just means a lot to us.
"To me, it adds to things. As our rival they definitely want to knock us out of the playoffs this year."
Ross may have said it best when he simply added, "We're all rivals, and we all want to beat the heck out of each other."

Experiencing Ayurveda: My 30-Day Detox Diary
On the first day of my 30-day detox, I could almost hear its caffeinated whispers wafting from the steaming mugs at my local coffee shop, calling my name and tempting me with the promise of caffeine-induced productivity.
I didn't get any withdrawal headaches, but by the first afternoon of my detox adventure, my head felt fuzzy and my body on-edge. What had I gotten myself into? This is ridiculous … I can't be addicted to coffee. No, I just love coffee. As a matter of fact, I actually read that it aids with mental stimulation and exercise endurance!
"You see, Kim, coffee is undoubtedly a vital nutrient," chimed a perfect pillow of latte foam from a passing customer's to-go cup.
It's only a month, I reminded myself as that foggy first day eventually fell into a cloudless sunset.
But wait, I can't have wine either?

Vinyl cutter
It was suggested that Noisebridge should have a vinyl cutter, which can be purchased for ~$300.
If you would like to contribute funds toward it, edit this page to add your name to this list:
If people opt to get the 50" model, the following people will contribute money
- Coreyfro - $25
- Larry - $100
There are two cutters we could buy:
- 50" Durkadurka series - $450
- 25" SC series - $300
- 28" MH series - $230
The MH series is purportedly less reliable than the SC. It has only a 90 day warranty, compared with a 1 year for the SC. The MH also does not support macs. We already have a windows XP machine in the space for the LaserCutter. I spoke to Nicole from Ardent Heavy Industries - she has a MH that has held up very well.
I also expect to write some better control software for Inkscape that uses the serial port.
With $9 for shipping and $20 for a pack of extra blades, that leaves us with $15 or $85 left over for vinyl and transfer tape.

Pronounced: ahl-TRETT-uh-meen
Classification: Alkylating Agent
About Altretamine (Hexalen®, HMM)
Altretamine exerts its anti-cancer affect by a process called alkylation. Alkylation damages the DNA of cells, which prevents them from dividing, and causes them to die. Since cancer cells divide faster and with less error-correcting than healthy cells, they are more sensitive to this damage. Altretamine is also metabolized into formaldehyde, which is cytotoxic (fatal) to most cells.
How to Take Altretamine
This medication is given in pill form and should be taken after meals. Your dose will depend on your body size. The total daily dose should be given as 4 divided doses, taken after meals and at bedtime.
Storage and Handling
Store your medication in the original, labeled container at room temperature and in a dry location (Unless otherwise directed by your HCP or Pharmacist). This medication should not be stored in a pillbox. Keep containers out of reach of children and pets.
If a caregiver prepares your dose for you, they should consider wearing gloves or pour the pills directly from their container into the cap, a small cup, or directly into your hand. They should avoid touching the pills. They should always wash their hands before and after giving you the medication. Pregnant or nursing women should not prepare the dose for you. Ask your oncology team where to return any unused medication for disposal. Do not flush down the toilet or throw in the trash.
Where do I get this medication?
Depending on your prescription drug plan, this drug may be available through your retail pharmacy or through a specialty pharmacy. Your healthcare team will work with your prescription drug plan to identify where you can get your prescription filled.
Insurance Information
This medication may be covered under your prescription drug plan. Patient assistance may be available to qualifying individuals without prescription drug coverage. Financial assistance for this drug is available for qualified individuals through Rx Outreach. Co-pay assistance may also be available for qualified insured individuals through the Patient Access Network Foundation.
Possible Side Effects
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Altretamine (Hexalen®). Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Nausea and/or Vomiting
Talk to your doctor or nurse so they can prescribe medications to help you manage nausea and vomiting. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a toxicity that affects the nerves. It causes a numbness or tingling feeling in the hands and feet, often in the pattern of a stocking or glove. This can get progressively worse with additional doses of the medication. In some people, the symptoms slowly resolve after the medication is stopped, but for some it never goes away completely. You should let your healthcare provider know if you experience numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, as they may need to adjust the doses of your medication.
This medication can cause neurological effects including mood disorders, disorders of consciousness, ataxia, dizziness, and vertigo. Your healthcare team will perform regular neurologic examinations while you are taking this medication.
Low White Blood Cell Count (Leukopenia or Neutropenia)
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
Low Red Blood Cell Count (Anemia)
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion.
Low Platelet Count (Thrombocytopenia)
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Orthostatic Hypotension
This medication can cause symptomatic orthostatic hypotension when taken with monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor class antidepressants. Be sure to inform your healthcare team of all medications and supplements you are taking before starting this drug.
Reproductive Concerns
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe you are not producing sperm, you could still be fertile and conceive. You should consult with your healthcare team before breastfeeding while receiving this medication.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
A Flip-flopper (U-turn in the UK) is used to describe someone who frequently changes their opinions. It's often used to describe politicians who change their stances to go with the current popular sentiment.
Someone who wavers on their opinions and can't make up their mind is said to be vacillating or indecisive.
A person who changes loyalty based on whether or not something is succeeding is referred to as fair-weather - particularly the fair-weather fan when speaking about a sports team supporter.
Fickle ("Quick to change one's opinion or allegiance; insincere; not loyal or reliable") and compliant ("Willing to comply; yielding; bending; pliant; submissive; willing to do what someone wants") are possibilities. Mercurial ("Volatile; erratic; unstable; flighty; fickle or changeable in temperament") and capricious ("Impulsive and unpredictable; determined by chance, impulse, or whim") also are nice.
Also see:
Well, you might call that low self-esteem if you base your self-worth on one exam. :)
But if you want a cool word, there is tergiversate, which means "to change repeatedly one's attitude or opinions with respect to a cause, subject, etc." And one who practices tergiversation is called a tergiversator.
jwpat7's fickle is a good word for someone who changes his opinion easily - but it's invariably derogatory, and implies changing one's opinion without good cause.
There's also open-minded, with positive associations implying that one is able and willing to accept new information which justifies changing one's opinion.
Those are answers to the question in OP's title. But they don't fit the example context, of someone basing his entire self-assessment on a single test score. That's a type of cognitive distortion often called Polarized (or "Black and White") thinking.
As I mentioned in my comment, I believe your example doesn't match your question. The example as given isn't an example of indecision, or a fickle opinion, but rather it's insecurity.
If you don't know before you take a test whether you are a genius or an imbecile, you are insecure about the level of your intelligence. Other possible descriptions of such a person could be anxious, apprehensive or unconfident.
Consider: labile, mercurial, inconstant; but irresolute may be best here. Words I know all too well. [CF 'Oh Ted, I'm so indecisive. -- Or am I?' Dougal, in Father Ted]
Malleable or tractable suggest someone whose sense of self is not solid enough to even slightly resist outside determination. A young student in the presence of overly esteemed professors . . .
Polarized Thinking
It is a technical term describing a type of Cognitive Distortion, where the experiences of life get flattened out into excluding a middle ground. There are no "shades of grey" or complexity, it's either all or none, good or bad, black or white.
As for just using an adjective to fit within the constraints of grammar, I would use polarized.
I have to say it, because no-one else has: Devil's Advocate
In my own words: Someone who will opt for the less popular side of an argument in order to draw out a more critical approach to the argument. A good

Gasoline is gaining market share as more Chinese buy private vehicles, which mostly run on gasoline. Diesel-fueled cars are a rarity in China, as government policy has often discouraged diesel use for private transportation. Gasoline consumption growth has gradually eclipsed diesel's in recent years.
By ERIC YEP
Chinese drivers are pushing up demand for gasoline in the
world's largest energy consumer, increasing the automotive
fuel's share of consumption as diesel use plateaus.
The shift to gasoline
reflects government efforts in the world's second-largest
economy to focus on domestic consumption to drive economic
growth, while slowing export-oriented industrial production is
limiting diesel demand growth.
Gasoline is picking up market share as more Chinese
consumers buy private vehicles, which mostly run on gasoline.
Diesel-fueled cars are a relative rarity in China, as
government policy has until recently
discouraged diesel use for private transportation.
Gasoline consumption growth has gradually eclipsed diesel's
in recent years, rising to around 20% of China's energy
consumption in 2012, compared with 17% in 2005, according to
International Energy Agency data. During the same period,
diesel's proportion held steady at 33%,
So far this year, the displacement trend has accelerated. In
March, China's gasoline consumption rose 19% from a year
earlier, while diesel usage grew just 2%, Credit Suisse
analysts said in a recent note. In the quarter, gasoline
consumption rose 16% while diesel consumption fell 0.8%, it
said, adding that both new car owners and those upgrading to
sport utility vehicles are contributing to increased gasoline
China overtook the US to become the world's largest vehicle
market in 2009, and analysts forecast it will extend its lead
in coming years despite slowing growth -- gross domestic
product growth has slowed from double digits for much of the
recent decade to single digits, most recently to 7.7% in the
first quarter, which is still enviable when compared with
low-single-digit growth, or recession, in many other countries
-- driven by a growing middle class and urban families eager to
own their first cars.
China's auto market growth will slow to an average of 8% a
year between 2011 and 2020, still very fast by developed-world
standards, McKinsey & Co. said in a January report,
forecasting passenger car sales to reach 22 million in 2020,
"bigger than either the European or North American
Rising gasoline demand reflects "the persistent urbanization
of the Chinese society," as rising wages and wealth spur
consumption of luxury goods, including automobiles, energy
consulting firm Paul Ting Energy Vision said in a note. A
decade ago, most Chinese vehicles were owned by government
agencies or state-run companies, but by last year, more than
80% were in private hands, the firm said.
It is likely gasoline rather than middle distillates --
diesel and jet fuel -- that pushed global crude-oil consumption
higher last year, the IEA said in its April report, and
analysts say they expect gasoline consumption to continue
growing steadily as car ownership increases.
While increasing gasoline consumption spurs overall
oil-demand growth, slowing industrial consumption has resulted
in a surplus of diesel.
China has been a net diesel exporter since late last year,
and its net exports widened to 100,000 bpd in March, JBC Energy
said in a recent note, putting pressure on margins for refiners
and traders in the rest of Asia. If the exports continue, the
regional market could be facing a prolonged period of weakness,
unless economic activity picks up significantly.
China's refining slate is already tilted
toward maximizing gasoline production, leaving little room to
decrease overproduction of diesel without upgrading facilities, Barclays analyst Sijin
Cheng said by telephone.
"China is likely to continue exporting surplus diesel for
the remainder of the second quarter, but may see a seasonal
increase in demand in the second half of the year as summer
kicks in," Ms. Cheng said. "If investments surprise to the
upside, Chinese refineries may need to maximize diesel output
again, but till then they'll have to keep doing what they're
doing--and if they have to find external markets for surplus
products, they'll have to live with it."
For now, China's oil-demand growth is steady on the back of
increasing gasoline demand, but for it to get any stronger,
diesel demand will need to improve significantly.
"For this to happen, we think it will be essential to boost
fiscal spending, which is a prerequisite if China GDP growth
has to accelerate up to HSBC forecast of 8.2% for 2013,
according to our economists," HSBC said last week.

Is 2016 the peak for US gasoline demand?

Average retail gasoline prices in Nebraska have risen 15.3 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.34/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,150 gas outlets in Nebraska. This compares with the national average that has increased 4.5 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.31/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Nebraska during the past week, prices yesterday were 7.1 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 15.1 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 4.5 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 6.7 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.
"The national average has picked up in the last week on the apparent start of refinery maintenance season," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Refinery production has taken a hit in the last week as companies begin looking towards the summer driving season, utilizing this time of year for maintenance and any upgrades before gasoline demand races higher for the summer season," DeHaan said.

I think what I'm probably looking for is to get the captures of a group in PHP.
Referenced: PCRE regular expressions using named pattern subroutines.
(Read carefully:)
I have a string that contains a variable number of segments (simplified):
$subject = 'AA BB DD '; // could be 'AA BB DD CC EE ' as well
I would like now to match the segments and return them via the matches array:
$pattern = '/^(([a-z]+) )+$/i';
$result = preg_match_all($pattern, $subject, $matches);
This will only return the last match for the capture group 2:
Is there a way that I can retrieve all subpattern captures (
DD) with one regex execution? Isn't
preg_match_all suitable for this?
This question is a generalization.
Both the
$subject and
$pattern are simplified. Naturally with such the general list of
BB, .. is much more easy to extract with other functions (e.g.
explode) or with a variation of the
But I'm specifically asking how to return all of the subgroup matches with the
preg_...-family of functions.
For a real life case imagine you have multiple (nested) level of a variant amount of subpattern matches.
This is an example in pseudo code to describe a bit of the background. Imagine the following:
Regular definitions of tokens:
CHARS := [a-z]+
$subject get's tokenized based on these. The tokenization is stored inside an array of tokens (type, offset, ...).
That array is then transformed into a string, containing one character per token:
CHARS -> "c"
PUNCT -> "p"
WS -> "s"
So that it's now possible to run regular expressions based on tokens (and not character classes etc.) on the token stream string index. E.g.
regex: (cs)?cp
to express one or more group of chars followed by a punctuation.
As I now can express self-defined tokens as regex, the next step was to build the grammar. This is only an example, this is sort of ABNF style:
words = word | (word space)+ word
word = CHARS+
space = WS
punctuation = PUNCT
If I now compile the grammar for words into a (token) regex I would like to have naturally all subgroup matches of each word.
words = (CHARS+) | ( (CHARS+) WS )+ (CHARS+) # words resolved to tokens
words = (c+)|((c+)s)+c+ # words resolved to regex
I could code until this point. Then I ran into the problem that the sub-group matches did only contain their last match.
So I have the option to either create an automata for the grammar on my own (which I would like to prevent to keep the grammar expressions generic) or to somewhat make preg_match working for me somehow so I can spare that.
That's basically all. Probably now it's understandable why I simplified the question.

Club: Markham Marauders
Location: Markham, Ontario
Founded: 2012 (or just imagine they began in 2011)
Rivals: Belleville Squires
The Pitch (along with 500 imaginary seats):
Walker Park
Corporate Facilities: Fairly Basic
Training Facilities: Basic
Youth Facilities: Minimal
Junior Coaching: Basic
Youth Recruitment: Limited
The Goal: Get the Markham Marauders to the MLS and beyond
The Task: A youth only policy. I can sign coaches though
The Challenge: This team is in the 8th tier, we start out as an amateur club
I will try to stick with my policy as long as possible and with discipline...
Some questions you may ask:
1. Why are you doing this?
Because I'm going on the youth only bandwagon and I want to have an enjoyable save without any crash dumps
2. Is Markham your local club?
No, I don't live in Markham but they're the 'most local' one in the custom DB. I don't live near Walker Park though, I don't really travel that way when I'm in Markham. I could have also started with the North York Astros since I have passed by the pitch IRL (not far from uni) but they're aren't at the bottom.
3. So you're finally doing a one club save...
Yes this will probably be a one club save. Unless Everton offers me the job, then it will be a two club save with no restrictions with the Toffees.
4. Is this your final thread for a FM12 save?
Yes. I won't make another one if this one crashes till FM13.
5. Hey!!! That's not Markham Marauder's real logo!!!
It isn't. It's McMaster University's main logo. They just happen to also be called the Marauders.
So hope this goes well.

How can I root the Samsung GT-P7510? I've tried z4root and many others, but they all seem to support Android 3.1 and not 3.2. I gather 3.2 is specifically designed to eliminate the exploit that z4root and others depend on.
You will need to flash a pre-rooted 3.2 ROM onto your Tab.
A Google search brings these instructions for installing a custom Recovery:
The instructions go on to rooting Android 3.1, so you will need to slightly alter those. Instead of using the "root" ZIP included in the package, you will need to obtain a pre-rooted Android 3.2 ROM. There are many such ROMs available on XDA-Developers forum, so take your pick (e.g. this one,) download the ZIP file, and copy it to the SD Card.
Continue on with the instructions to reboot into the ClockworkMod Recovery:
You will now need to perform a factory reset/data wipe to avoid any compatibility issues. With the volume buttons for up/down, navigate to "wipe data/factory reset", and select it by pressing the Power button, and then scroll down to and select the "Yes" option. Once that operation completes, you can continue with the instructions, substituting the file name they are suggesting with the one you've downloaded:
According to some comments this method should work on the WiFi-only model of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7510). However, you might encounter issues transferring the downloaded files onto the Tab. A comment suggests a work-around:
Good luck!
Yikes. I'm glad I didn't find this answer when I searched for a way to root mine.
Otherwise it's similar to the other answer. You can root your tab without losing anything. This works fine for 3.2 systems - for probably Samsung's last 3.2 update, before their year 2056 release of the ICS update.
(If you then want to install CM9 or like, you'll do the data wipe anyway, but there's still this advantage to this method: after you root the tab, you can use ROM Manager to install CM9. When I first tried to install CM9, the script failed with a bogus error, and then the nandroid backup also failed, leaving me half of a stock install. Very tense period there, before I installed ROM Manager and it Just Worked(tm).)

Who knows seven?

Please cite/link your sources, if possible. In about one business day, I will:
7 are the traits of a hacham (Avot 5:9) (also of a golem, but let's be positive here)
Seven are the liquids that can cause a food item to be ready to become tamei.
The lower sefirot, nameley: chesed gevurah tiferet, netzach hod yesod, malchut.
The weeks between Shavuot and Pesach.
(When I give two answers in a single answer, there's a connection)
The rabbinic mitzvot, namely:
Sevens by Ari Lesser
Passover extends seven days my friends And from the night after the first day ends We count seven times seven days till Shavuot Refining our souls with the seven Spheriot We go through Tiferet, Malchut, Yesod Chesed, Gevurah, Netzach, and Hod We're not tzaddiks but after seven weeks We're ready to receive the words G-d speaks On the seventh day rise up to the Torah Read one of seven aliyahs from the Parshah Bereshit Bara Elokim, the first Line in the Torah is a seven word verse G-d created to earth and the heavens Worked six days and was done on the seventh So the seventh day is the day of rest The seventh day G-d blessed with Holiness He made Adam and Chava and she was the mother Of Cayin and Hevel who was killed by his brother But G-d didn't punish Cayin for seven generations So violence and robbery spread through creation Til G-d said to Noach, "In seven days The waters of the flood will begin to raise So get seven other people, and bring at least Seven pairs of each kosher bird and beast." So Noach got seven male and seven female Of each clean creature on the Ark set sail Til the seventh month, when the waters dropped And the ark came to rest on the mountain top Let the raven fly, seven days went by Sent the dove, she came back cause nothing was dry Waited seven days at the end of the week Sent the dove, she returned olive branch in beak He still wasn't sure so he waited seven more Sent the dove buts she didn't come back like before Cause the flood was over, for Noah G-d showed A Sign in the cloud, seven color rainbow Then he gave seven Noachide laws to be done By the seventy nations who come from Noach's sons But there was evil in the seven nations of Canaan So G-d swore to give their land to Avraham Who lived in Beer Sheva that was the well spring Where he gave seven sheep to the Philistine king And Sarah was Avraham's beautiful wife One hundred twenty seven were the years of her life There's seven generations from Avraham to Moses I'll keep the story short most everybody knows this Sarah bore Yitzchak to Avraham Yitzchak begot Yaakov, who ran to Aram For seven years Yaakov work like hell For his uncle Lavan, trying to marry Rachel But the night he wed, he got tricked instead Woke up and found Leah, was laying in his bed Seven kids came through Leah, that's true But Yaakov knew he had to have Rachel too So after seven days another wedding was on But he had to work seven more years for Lavan And when his son Yoseph was just seventeen He got sold as a slave down to Mitzrayim He was sitting in prison when Pharaoh had a dream And nobody in Egypt knew what it could mean He dreamt seven cows all healthy and fat Emerged from the river and behold after that There came seven cows looking ugly and cursed And the second seven ate the seven cows that were first And he dreamed seven ears of grain all stood On a single stalk, they were full and good But then grew seven thin ears withered by the wind The first seven got swallowed by the seven that were thin Yosef said, "Pharaoh, your dream about the grain And your dream about the cows, are one and the same To me it's clear that the seven full ears And the seven fat cows are seven good years The seven thin ears and the seven cows that were lean Are seven bad years, and the meaning of your dream Is that seven years of plenty will come and get swallowed By seven years of famine that immediately follow." Then Pharaoh repaid Yoseph, who had saved Egypt, making his family their slaves But his wise men told him they saw in the stars The Moshe would be born on the seventh of Adar They were right, Moshe started a fight Killed and Egyptian then he had to take flight Married one of seven daughters of Yitro Before he told Pharaoh, "Let my people go" Seven plagues brought Egypt down on it's knee And like a low blow, Bo, there came the last three G-d split the sea and we walked seven weeks Up to mount Sinai where we heard G-d speak Passover extends seven days my friends And from night after the first day ends We count seven times seven days till Shavuot Refining our souls with the seven Spheriot We go through Tiferet, Malchut, Yesod Chesed, Gevurah, Netzach, and Hod We're not tzaddiks but after seven weeks We're ready to receive the words G-d speaks On the seventh day G-d called and allowed Moshe to ascend to midst of the cloud HASHEM let him stand in the highest of places And taught him teaching with seventy faces He came back with the seven books of the Torah Built the Ark, Altar, seven branch menorah Set up the Tabernacle seven times in a row For the first seven days he was Kohen Gadol But the people was to much for him to support So he set up a seventy man supreme court When his sister complained, G-d made her stay With Tzaras outside the camp for seven days An affliction like that you show to a priest He'll quarantine you for seven days at least When he sees you again, if he still isn't sure He might have to quarantine you seven more If he says it's Tzaras then you wait outside Til he slaughters a bird the day you're purified Dips a live bird, cedar wood, crimson thread And hyssop in the blood of the bird that's dead You get sprinkled with the blood seven times by the priest Take the bird that's alive outside to be released After that you can enter the camp, but you stay Outside of your own tent for seven more days Til the seventh day when he shaves all the hair On your head, and your beard, eyebrows, everywhere Then you bring offerings to atone for your crimes And he sprinkles you with olive oil seven times Some things we do just because G-d said We take an unblemished unworked cow that's red Slaughter it and have the Kohen flick a spackle Of it's blood seven times before the Tabernacle Burn it, put the ashes in some H2O That came from a river with a seven year flow When anybody touches any body passed away Purify'em with the Mayim on the third and seventh day" Then Miriam died from HASHEM's kisses She was one of Israel's seven prophetesses So G-d blessed her with a painless fate And she was one of seven corpses the worms never ate Just like Moshe and Aaron those three Come from a family full of prophesy But they were many others who had revelations G-d even gave seven prophets to the nations Bilaam was one of the worst on earth So Balak hired him to curse us but first They built seven altars, according to plan And offered up seven bulls, and seven rams It failed so Balak just built seven more Burnt seven bull, and seven rams like before Failed again so he did seven more like the first Still he gave us a blessing instead of curse Our enemies joined as one to attack But on seven different roads they ran right back Just like Moshe told us on the other side Of the river Jordan before he died He passed away on the seventh of Adar Never made it to the land only saw it from afar But we crossed over under Joshua's command And celebrated Pesach in the promise land Passover extends seven days my friends And from the night after the first day ends We count seven times seven days till Shavuot Refining our souls with the seven Spheriot We go through Tiferet, Malchut, Yesod Chesed, Gevurah, Netzach, and Hod We not tzaddiks but after seven weeks We're ready to receive the words G-d speaks When Joshua was going around Jericho and There were seven Kohanim, with seven shofars blowing They circled the city seven days in all The seventh day circled seven times round the wall We won that battle but coast wasn't clear Cause Midian invaded for seven years Til Gideon rose up and made them run Came home a hero had seventy sons Shimshon showed those Philistine kings He could break through seven new bow strings Til Delilah pressed him, left him for dead By shaving the seven dreadlocks off his head She was bad but wise woman stands alone On seven pillars she builds up her home Ruth was a convert good as they come She was better to Naomi than seven sons Her descendant David was just another Son of Yishai with seven brothers But he was destined to sit on the throne For the first seven years he reigned in Chevron He had seven wives but that was before He met Bat-Sheva and he took one more She gave birth to Sholmo when he was alive He got married to seven hundred wives Seventy thousand men had to cut the stones Of the temple he built while he sat on the throne Took seven years, in the seventh month it was done Then he had a double seven day celebration When it was destroyed Yermiyahu was clear That the exile would last for seventy years So we sat seven decades in Bavel and waited While the date of redemption was miscalculated By Achashverosh, the king whose hand Ruled over a hundred and twenty seven lands He threw a seven day long feast for his friends His seven chamberlains, and his seven wise men One of them was Daniel who prayed for the end Of the exile end, then an angel came to him Said, "Seventy weeks," but it wasn't so clear Might have meant seventy more sets of seven years Since then we've been punished again, and again In seven different ways for our seven sins Feeling like Iyov so many mishaps He lost seven sons when their house collapsed And he had a huge flock but a fire came Seven thousand sheep just went up in flames So he sat in silence morning his plight For seven days and seven nights When the wicked stumble they meet their demise But the righteous can fall seven times and rise Five, Seven, Seven, Three is the year we're in Waiting for the seventh millennium to begin Had the seventh Rebbe in seven seventy So how much longer will this galus be Let our enemies all be crushed at once We'll bury their bodies for seven months Their weapons will fuel our fires for free For seven years we won't cut down a tree Let the river spilt into seven streams Like the sea when we left from Mitzrayim I can dream, next Pesach we'll be redeemed Have Seder all together in Yerushalayim Passover extends seven days my friends And from the night after the first day ends We count seven times seven days till Shavuot Refining our souls with the seven Spheriot We go through Tiferet, Malchut, Yesod Chesed, Gevurah, Netzach, and Hod We not tzaddiks but after seven weeks We're ready to receive the words G-d speaks
Seven are the household items containing chametz ingredients, listed in the Mishnah (Pesachim 3:1) as having to be disposed of before Pesach.
Also, seven are the reactants used to test a stain of unknown origin, to see whether it is blood or something else (Niddah 9:6).
Branches of the Menorah from the Temple.
Seven are:
..and no more patience.
Seven are the rules for humanity.
.... are the Naviyos (Prophetesses) of Yisrael:
Sarah Miriam Devorah Chana (Mother of Shmuel) Avigayil (wife of David) Huldah Queen Esther
Seven are the questions to always ask when studying something, according to the Tiferet Yisrael commentary on Avot 2:14; this list (which begins "mi? ma?") produces a really-hard-to-get-out-of-your-head Jewish pop hit.
Seven are the days before an animal is sacrificed.
The amount of Berachos in the Shemona Esrei of Shabbos
Are the fruits that Eretz Yisroel is blessed with. Chita, Seora, Gefen, Teaina, Rimon, Zayis, Tamarim
Seven are the things that existed before Creation: 1. The Torah; 2. Repentance; 3. Paradise; 4. Gehinnom; 5. G-d's throne; 6. The Temple; and 7. The name of the Messiah. Source: Pesachim 54a; Nedarim 39b
We read 7 Haftoros of Nechama (consolation, comforting) after the three weeks.
7 are the sprinklings below the yesod of the mizbe'ach in the avoda of yom kippur (you know, that achas, achas v'achas etc. part)
7 are the paths that your enemies will run away from you, or that you will run away from them, depending on how you behave.
Seven spokes on the wheel of the Wheel of Time (IIRC R' Aryeh Kaplan says that the world is like a wheel in InnerSpace) that represent the seven ages of the world (with the seventh being the sabbatical era), and seven locks of indestructible heartstone seal the prison that binds the Shai'tan (i.e. Satan, yetzer hara, sitra achra).
I once read on the Internet someone theorizing that the author of the WoT series is a closet kabbalist. Could this be true?
There are seven mitzvos in chazzal which are equivalent to all the other mitzvos as enumerated and explained in Rabbi Shlomo Volbe's seffer Hamitzvis Hashakulos
1) Whoever denies avoda zara affirms the entire Torah. Sifri Shlach on chapter 15 verse 22-23, Chulin 5a.
2) Tzitzis is equivalent to all the mitzvos. Rashi Shlach 15, 41.
3) Whoever desecrate shabbos is akin to worshipping idols which is equivalent to all the mitzvos. Rashi Shlach 15, 41. Shmos rabba 25, 12.
4) Even all the mitzvos are not equal to one word of Torah. Yerushalmi Peah 1,1.
5) Great is Mila which is equivalent to all the Mitzvos in the Torah. Nedarim 32a.
6) Tzedaka is equivalent to all the mitzvos. Bava basra 9a.
7) Living in Eretz Yisroel is equivalent to all the mitzvos in the Torah. Sifri Re'eh piska 80, brought in Yalkut 885.
(He mentions the opinion of the Baal Haturim in Nitzavim that says Tshuva is equivalent to all the mitzvos, but his list is of seven from chazzal)
The seventh letter of the aleph-beis is zayin. Zayin is one of seven letters that recieve tagin, along with ayin, gimel, teth, nun, shin and tzadi.

Whats kinda sad is they only made two of those commercials, budget I guess. If they would encourage new media to publicize downtown they would get a lot more Google juice and screen time for Downtown. I mean there is more downtown now than those videos captured. Now is the time to capture the eyes while people are worried about so many things, the progress of Downtown is a light if you let it.

We all know Dallas has lots of trees. I made this for people that watch my channel. As you all know I travel a lot. Many people ask me about Dallas. Funny, most people I talk to think Dallas is in the desert. That it is flat, dusty, have tumble weeds rolling around,no trees, and we have cowboys and cattle roaming in large ranches lol. So I made this for people see. This was taken in the southern part of the City of Dallas. The City of Dallas itself, has lots of trees, rolling hills in the south and northern part of the City. As you can see it is lush tree filled city. I like in Lake Highlands in north Dallas and it looks similar to this. Once you leave they City of Dallas, there isn't as many trees and turns into prairie the further you get from the city.
Haha, totally caught me off guard.... "OK, when will this commercial end.... Hey, that's...."
The unholy offspring of lightning and Death itself.
