6 Star Wars Characters Too Idiotic for Film
#3. Jaxxon
Early Star Wars comics.
One of the first characters to appear outside the films, Jaxxon was a daredevil rogue and a smuggler who happened to look like Bucky O'Hare having sex with Marvin the Martian. He was a member of a group called the Star-Hoppers and worshiped something called "the holy hutch," which we assume is space lingo for "Get it? He's a fucking rabbit."
First introduced back in the early Star Wars comics published by Marvel, Jaxxon spent his days gambling, smuggling and outrunning imperial slugs aboard his starship, The Lucky Rabbit's Foot (see space lingo, above). Sound like anyone you know? Yes, Jaxxon was the comics' answer to Han Solo. The two inevitably crossed paths and got into a few crazy adventures which were just as idiotic as you'd imagine.
Why He Doesn't Belong:
As the Star Wars franchise gained in popularity, love of the furry bastard dwindled and Jaxxon boarded his ship in late 1987 and never came back. George Lucas himself has allegedly made clear that he never wants Jaxxon to make another appearance. If they ever build a hall of shame, we have to imagine that "kicked out of the Star Wars universe because George Lucas thinks you're ill-conceived" will get its own wing right next to "getting kicked out of an awards show because Kanye West thinks you're making a scene."
#2. Ooroo
The Tales of the Jedi comics
If you think you'd be unlucky to wind up with a talking rabbit for a Jedi Master, how about a disembodied brain? First revealed in The Tales of the Jedi comic series, Ooroo was a member of a species with no eyes, ears, limbs or usefulness. Also, his name seems like it was dreamed up during the last harrowing moments of a heated Scrabble game that George Lucas was desperate not to lose.
"George, I really don' t think..."
"Fuck you, that's a word."
As a Master, Ooroo trained many disappointed apprentices. He couldn't speak so he connected to his students telepathically. And he couldn't breathe oxygen so he sat in a water tank all day long. Consequently, he was a master of "Force Float" and "Force Trying-Not-To-Prune."
Ooroo sacrificed himself to save his apprentice from being killed by evil Jedi, blowing up his tank and destroying the villains who had presumably gathered around to point and laugh at him. Before he died, Ooroo told his apprentice that he wished he could float the seas of his home world one last time. When your dying wish is to float in the ocean like a bloated corpse, the sky wasn't exactly the limit for you.
Why He Doesn't Belong:
According to his Wookieepedia page (the Star Wars wiki so nerdily titled that anything harboring a vagina will immediately burst into flames upon reading it), "Ooroo preferred to avoid combat where possible" but he was perfectly able to use a lightsaber.
As awesome as this would be to see, we simply cannot fathom how a floating tentacle brain restricted to a jar of liquid could even hold such a weapon, let alone turn it on. For a universe where Jedi come in all shapes and sizes, we would have thought at least one of the prerequisites to begin training would have been "must possess basic level of motor function higher than a turd in a punchbowl."
The Star Wars: Droids comics
What happens when you take Star Wars' most clumsy, inept and least threatening character and make him into a robot killer? You get C-3PX.
Threepio's cousin is locked, loaded and struggling to walk on uneven ground. First created in the Star Wars: Droids comic series, C-3PX was a protocol droid modified by Darth Maul to become a bounty hunter droid, boasting an armament of 83 weapons and about three moving parts. Oh yeah, he KNEW he was the fucking shit. The Fetts had nothing on this guy.
C-3PX was sent on missions from various masters for two purposes: infiltration and elimination. We shouldn't have to point this out, but a golden, reflective metal droid doesn't exactly scream stealth ninja. You could see the guy from about two miles away, lumbering towards you like Frankenstein's monster and telling people how many languages it's fluent in.
C-3PX's claim to fame came when he met C-3PO in the comics, where the two managed to switch places--with Threepio being mistaken for the assassin (because apparently no one was aware that pieces of technology routinely have more than one model type) and C-3PX trying to get his job back by convincing people he was the REAL murderbot--leading to a parent-trap style twin mix-up rife with hilarious hijinks and madcap consequences (C-3PX dies horribly).
Why He Doesn't Belong:
Unless you're blind, retarded or a bag of Fritos, C-3PX has no chance of assassinating you. Shit, all you'd need to do to escape him is to climb a flight of fucking stairs or toss Salacious Crumb at him to chew his eyeball out. Not even the Ewoks were intimidated by Threepio, and they thought he was a fucking god.
Trying to make a killing machine out of a protocol droid is like tying a grenade launcher to a housecat. An assassin can't inspire fear if your first instinct is to laugh at it and your second is to just push it over.

Wedding Trivia:KISS THE BRIDET he kiss dates back to the earliest days of civilization in the Middle East. A kiss was used as the formal seal to agreements, contracts, etc. In Ancient Rome a kiss was still being used as the legal bold to seal contracts. Hence the obvious use of the custom at the end of the wedding ceremony to "seal" the marriage vows. It also originates from the earliest times when the couple would actually make love for the first time under the eyes of half the village!

From what I collected, coffee is a magical potion that lets you feel energetic, and essentially not-sleepy. But are there any tradeoffs? I mean, if it was so beneficial, wouldn't the human body produce caffeine naturally?
First of all, the fact that a substance is beneficial does not mean that our body will, perforce, produce it naturally. Think of oxygen and water for example1.
As for the negative effects of coffee drinking, yes there are many although coffee has both a positive and a detrimental effect on human health. The main active ingredient in coffee is caffeine which can have the following negative effects:
The list above comes from the very comprehensive wikipedia page on the health effects of caffeine. In fact, wikipedia is particularly good on this subject, see the following pages:
1 Our bodies do produce both Oxygen and water as byproducts of various reactions but nowhere near enough to satisfy our need for these substances.

The elevator doors are heavy and hard to manage.
Revision as of 00:51, 2 February 2011
Noisebridge has made some efforts to make its space accessible for people with disabilites. Here's some notes on accessibility.
For wheelchair users, it is a fairly comfortable space once you're inside. The front door and elevator may be impossible or quite difficult without help. Random Noisebridgers are generally very helpful at running the elevator.
Noisebridge's main entrance has a buzzer that for many wheelchair users would not be accessible. For someone who can't stand up, the front door buzzer is blocked by the supermarket's fruit stands. There are many workarounds for this. See Getting Here and Access Control for more info.
The elevator is touchy and doesn't always work unless someone goes up to it by the stairs, closes all the elevator doors firmly, and brings the elevator down. There's a buzzer next to the call button so you can let the people upstairs know this needs to happen, if you can't go up the stairs yourself.
The elevator doors are heavy and hard to manage.
The elevator doesn't line up very well with the floor, so a person using a powerchair might have difficulty getting in or out of the elevator.
Paths in the space
There has clearly been ongoing effort to keep paths wide enough for wheelchair users. The classrooms have wide entrances and there are clear paths to their tables.
Clutter on the floor in front of member shelves, or in corridors to the bathroom, can be a problem. The server room is very small and the tea room, a small loft with a ladder, is not accessible for wheelchair users.
Keeping clear corridors is an ongoing project. Not every area has wide enough paths for everyone, but in general the furniture is hackable. So if Noisebridge had users who had particular mobility issues and wanted to work in an area that isn't accessible in some way, it is probably fixable.
Work surfaces
There are many low tables and desks in the space. Some areas, like the kitchen counters and the power-charging laptop area, have high surfaces and so are less accessible. I don't think that means anything needs changing unless a person would like it changed.
Many people at Noisebridge worked on the accessible bathroom. It is big enough to get many power chairs inside and turn around. It is certainly big enough for most manual wheelchairs. There is a second bathroom with a door that isn't very wide, not as accessible as the new bathroom. There are no rails or grab bars in either bathroom. They could both use grab bars. It is important to keep the larger bathroom free of clutter, make sure trash bins or supplies would not block a person in a wheelchair from turning around or being able to open and shut the door.
If you need access stuff fixed at Noisebridge or would like help, definitely talk with people there or speak up on the Noisebridge-discuss mailing list. Tables can be lowered, paths cleared, machinery adapted, stuff hacked!
If you want to be helpful in general, keeping floors clear and furniture widely spaced so that there are wide paths in the space is very useful for people using wheelchairs, canes, or crutches.
Many people with disabilities enjoy NOT to be asked lots of questions about medical history, diagnosis, prognosis, and so on. Why do you need to know "what happened" or "what's wrong" or "whether it's degenerative" so bad before any other conversation? You really don't, so MYOB. There are more interesting things to talk about. Your burning curiosity may be assuaged by getting to know someone for a while, or you know, googling.

Swarovski 3200 14mm Rivoli Sew-on Stone Jet
Add bold elements to your designs with the Swarovski 3200 14mm rivoli sew-on stone in Jet. This large sew-on crystal looks like the rivoli component on the top, but is flat on the back. The facets come to a point at the center of this component, creating a look full of captivating shine and dimension. The two open holes located on either end of the crystal make it easy to sew on to projects. You can even use this sew-on stone as a link in jewelry designs. It would work nicely at the center of a necklace design with beads dangling from one hole. This component features a shining black color, a versatile shade that will make other colors pop.

Residents in 10 Kentucky counties that were hard hit by tornadoes last March will receive long-term recovery assistance with the help of a $1.6 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Gov. Steve Beshear announced the grant Monday and said the funds would provide support for people to get back to normal.
The counties that will receive the services are Grant, Johnson, Kenton, Laurel, Lawrence, Magoffin, Martin, Menifee, Morgan and Wolfe.
Health and Family Services Secretary Audrey Tayse Haynes says the funds will make it possible for trained case managers to assist the people who suffered the most and help make sure they recover from the disaster.

Adobe Connect Pro
Adobe Connect is primarily used as a synchronous teaching tool, meaning that participants are simultaneously connected and can interact with each other in real-time. However, unattended persistent virtual rooms can also be used to hold course materials for on-demand retrieval by students.
Instructors, who are hosts, can use Adobe Connect to teach hybrid courses (courses that meet in a classroom, or face-to-face, as well as meet online) or distance learning courses (courses that are conducted entirely using the internet and do not meet in a classroom), or as a supplemental tool for a fully face-to-face course. Common uses of Adobe Connect include interactive online lectures, supervised and unsupervised group activity space, virtual office hours and tutoring, and webinars featuring guest hosts. Persistent rooms can also be used independently by students as an informal meeting space or for group projects.

Why are there two programs for that?
X refers usually to the X Window System, a networking protocol and a software which supports drawing application windows on your screen. Another synonym for the protocol is X11.
XFree86 was the reference implementation of the X Window System until 2003 there was some trouble concerning the license for the new release, which was seen incompatible to the GPL from many developers.
They left the XFree86 project, founded the X.Org Foundation and created X.Org, which is another implementation of the X Window System.
The development of XFree86 still continues.
X is short for X Window System, which is the architecture specification and protocol that allows Unix graphical applications (clients) to connect to a display (server) in order to display the GUI and interact with the user.
XFree(3) is one of the functions defined by the X library, that is used to free memory allocations, just like free(3).
Perhaps you meant XFree86, which is a specific implementation of the X Windows System.

This historic landscape was orginially created for Katie Black, an early Seattle settler. The community rallied to preserve it and has worked hard to remove blackberries and restore the garden.Acreage: 0.6
Landscaped as a Japanese stroll garden in 1914 this site is home to the last of many important specimen trees on North Beacon Hill, multiple bird species, and small wildlife. Although the garden is relatively small, Katie Black's garden gives a rich experience. The narrow, winding brick path allows one to wander around two ponds and over an arched stone bridge at the point of juncture. Stones set within the now-dry ponds attract the eye, allowing contemplation. Gardens such as this encourage walking, where one can admire a succession of changing views. Lush vegetation surrounds the garden, at one time maintained to capture attention and frame views. Birch, cedar, fir, elm, and a monkey puzzle tree separate the site from the adjacent neighborhood...ivy carpets the garden floor. Japanese maples, flowering cherry, rhododendron, hornbeam, Oregon grape, ash, catalpa, peony, Jacob's ladder, quince, and forsythia complete the planting and accent with a variety of rhythm, scale, color and texture.
Katie Black's Garden is a small corner of the once-extensive Black family estate located on the North tip of Beacon Hill overlooking downtown Seattle.
It is said that in 1913 Frank D. Black offered his wife, Kate Gilmore Black, a "Gran Tour" of Europe. But Kate replied that she would much prefer a grand Japanese garden instead. Thus work was begun on Katie Black's Garden in 1914. Long time local residents recall that the garden has always been open for public enjoyment and that local school teachers often brought whole classes to the garden for nature studies followed by a picnic lunch.

My main interest is plant functional morphology - I explore the role of morphological traits such as height, shoot development, adventitious sprouting from roots, etc. in daily plant life and how plant ecological functions are constrained by morphology and architecture. Comparisons between my own field collections and published accounts allow me to identify which plant architectural traits have been overlooked and to focus my research on them. Two of my favorite questions that guide my research are: (1) what is the role of adventitious sprouting from roots in the life history of a plant? and (2) how does plant architecture promote coexistence of plants in species rich meadows?
The objective of my project at SERC is to develop a database of clonal traits for herbaceous plants growing in wetland and forested habitats in eastern North America. Clonal traits will be assessed according to the methodology I developed for the Central European database CLO-PLA 3. Plants will be excavated from the soil to examine organs (rhizomes, stolons, bulbs) associated with clonal growth. This research is important because of ongoing rapid changes in environmental conditions, e.g. fragmentation of forests and the loss of coastal wetlands due to sea level rise, and disruption of plant communities by invasive species. The database will be used to predict the role of clonality in plant communities experiencing these disturbances and invasions. The database will also allow scientists to conduct risk assessment and vulnerability analyses of selected plant communities and to compare the effects of disturbance and invasion at SERC with similar environments and perturbations in Central Europe.

Yerushalmi Sheviis (end of 5:1) says that when a tree develops, it takes 60 days for the first 6 leaves to grow, and then only 6 more days for the next 60 leaves to grow.
Thus, it takes 66 days for 66 leaves to emerge!
Following two weeks of tameh flow, a woman who gives birth to a girl has a 66 day period of tahor flow (Parashas Tazria)
When Yaakov went down to Mitzrayim, the descendants who came along with him numbered 66. (Bereishis 46:26)
66 are the degrees of longitude from the "western edge of civilization" to Jerusalem. (In the Rambam's times only the Eastern Hemisphere was known to be inhabited, so they spoke only of 180° of longitude, centered on a line corresponding to about modern 59° east of Greenwich. Jerusalem is 24° west of that line.)

66 C.E. was the beginning of the Jewish revolt against the romans, which ultimately led to the destruction of the Temple: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Jewish-Roman_War

WACO (October 2, 2012)--Waco fire marshals said Tuesday they are continuing to investigate a February fire that claimed the lives of a mother and two of her children and confirmed there are suspects in the blaze.
One fire marshal said Tuesday no arrests have been made, but said there are people who have risen to the top of the suspect list, even though investigators have not yet released what they believe to be the cause of the mobile home fire.
"We're working on that full force but we still have a way to go," the fire marshal said Tuesday.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said back in April the fire that consumed the mobile home on Feb. 16 was first thought to be electrical in origin, but said, fire investigators had not confirmed an electrical problem as the cause.
Swanton said Tuesday the police department has officially closed their portion of the investigation.
Autopsy reports released a week after the fire said that Ashley Dawn Rogers, 27, and her children Madisyn Marie Megginson, 4, and 8-month-old Gage Megginson died of burns and smoke inhalation.
Swanton said the autopsy revealed all three deaths were ruled as accidental.
The mobile home was destroyed.
Rogers' son Kaiden, 2, whom a neighbor rescued from the flames, was treated and later released from a local hospital.
Fire marshals, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Waco police detectives have been investigating the fire, which broke out at around 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 16 at 6312 N. 19th Street in Bosqueville.
Three firefighters, one who suffered first-degree steam burns, another suffered second-degree steam burns and a third who suffered heat exhaustion, were taken to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center.
They were all treated and released.
A fourth firefighter was treated at the scene for heat exposure burns.

WHEELING - People looking for a way to chase away the winter doldrums without having to freeze outside may want to check out the Wheeling YMCA's first indoor triathlon.
The new event, dubbed "Y-Tri," is aimed at giving people the opportunity to exercise during the winter and have fun while doing it. The triathlon will include 10 minutes of swimming, 30 minutes of biking and 20 minutes of running or walking. It is slated for 7 a.m. Feb. 24 at the YMCA, 55 Lounez Ave.
"The intent is to keep moving for 60 minutes and earn a Y-Tri finishers T-shirt,'' said organizer Ron Woloshan. "Rather than completing a set distance of swimming, biking and running, our event tracks total distance completed. ... Contestants can doggie paddle or float on their backs for 10 minutes, leisurely spin on an indoor cycling machine for 30 minutes, and ambulate at their own pace on the treadmill for 20 minutes.''

GOOD?WORKOUT — West Alexander, Pa., resident Jesse Vensel, left, and his father, Brian Vensel, ride stationary bikes at the Wheeling YMCA. - Shelley Hanson
People are picked up and dropped off at the Wheeling YMCA.
Participants must be at least 12 years old. There is an entry fee, but YMCA members can participate at a discounted rate. Finishers will earn T-shirts based on distance totals, and sports drinks and energy bars will be available during the race.
Finishers also will be eligible to win door prizes. Entry forms are available at the YMCA or local shops such as Hole N' Run and Wheelcraft. For information, call (304) 242-8086 or e-mail Woloshan at rwoloshan@aol. com.
"We think this is very doable for many of our members and those that keep their exercise to low-impact and, in the winter months, indoors,'' Woloshan said.
He noted the indoor event is a precursor of sorts to plans for an outdoor triathlon planned for September. The YMCA held a similar event 30 years ago.
"We expect to see a wide range of entrants from teens to 70-plus and maybe 80-plus-year-olds, most notably one Harry Castle of Wheeling who was 54 in 1983 when he did his first triathlon at the YMCA, and at age 84 would likely be our oldest contestant,'' he said.

Hi. I'm looking to find integer pairs $(a,c)$ such that $4a^2 + 8c^2 - 4c +1$ is a perfect square.
The sum is odd so I set the sum equal to $(2n+1)^2$ to cancel out the 1s and I end up with $\boxed{a^2 + 2c^2 - c = n^2 + n}$.
I haven't found a valid technique to break this down yet but I think it could be a pell's equation in disguise. I'm wondering if anyone can give me some insight on this problem. Thanks.

Deutsche Chiefs Under Investigation in Tax Probe
FRANKFURT—Prosecutors raided Deutsche Bank AG DB 1.43 % for a second time on Wednesday in connection with an investigation into potential evasion of taxes on carbon-emissions certificates that allegedly cost Germany hundreds of millions of euros.
The Frankfurt public prosecutor's office is investigating both co-Chief Executive Officer Jürgen Fitschen and Chief Financial Officer Stefan Krause because they signed off on the bank's value-added tax statement for 2009, the bank said. In the third quarter of 2011, the bank took a charge of €310 million ($403.2 million) related to value-added taxes linked to carbon-emissions trading.
"The bank corrected this [statement] a long time ago voluntarily," the bank said in a news release. "Unlike the public prosecutor's office, Deutsche Bank is of the opinion that this correction took place in due time."
The bank added that it is cooperating with authorities and that the investigation has been going on for two years. Deutsche Bank said it was speaking on behalf of Messrs. Fitschen and Krause, who weren't separately available to comment.
Prosecutors arrested five people in connection with the raid and said they were investigating 25 bank employees, including those five, on suspicion of serious tax evasion, money laundering and attempted obstruction of justice.
A number of European authorities are currently conducting investigations into alleged tax evasion related to the EU Emissions Trading System. Prosecutors throughout Europe raided hundreds of companies as evidence of the fraud first emerged in 2009.
Europol, the European law-enforcement agency, has estimated the loss to European taxpayers could total €5 billion. Value-added-tax fraud related to the trade of carbon-dioxide emissions permits cost Germany about €850 million, prosecutors said last year. At the time, German prosecutors said they were investigating around 120 organizations and companies in Europe and the United Arab Emirates.
Prosecutors haven't made detailed allegations about potential wrongdoing at Deutsche Bank, but a German court sentenced six men to prison last year for tax evasion related to carbon-emission permits that cost the country more than €300 million. Deutsche Bank was involved in trading those carbon-emission permits, according to a person close to the bank.
Deutsche Bank took a charge of €310 million in connection with information uncovered during the trial, Mr. Krause said during the bank's third-quarter conference call last year. In its third-quarterly earnings statement, the bank said the charge stemmed from "the impairment of a German VAT claim."
Value-added-tax fraud, also referred to as carousel fraud, exploits the way that taxes are treated in cross-border trading, where the movement of goods between jurisdictions is free of value-added taxes.In some cases, allowances were imported from overseas free of the tax, and then sold on in a domestic transaction at a price that included the tax. Once the transaction was completed, sellers disappeared, without paying the tax to the government.
The raid at Deutsche Bank, Europe's largest by assets, was conducted Germany-wide by a 500-person team Wednesday morning, prosecutors said. Police vans lined the street in front of the bank's twin glass towers as investigators searched through e-mails and other potential evidence.
It isn't uncommon for German prosecutors to conduct high-profile raids on prominent targets with no results. Prosecutors previously raided Deutsche Bank regarding the same investigation in 2010.
Last year, the bank suspended a handful of employees in connection with an internal investigation into allegations of evasion of carbon-trading taxes, according to a person close to the bank.

The 5 Most Badass Prison Escapes in the History of War
#2. Henri Giraud is a Patient Man
The Capture:
Henri Giraud was a 63 year-old French General with a bad leg who fought in Both World Wars. After slowing the German advance in the Netherlands, Giraud went to the Ardennes to stop more Nazis, but got captured instead. He was taken to Konigstein Castle, a fortress that had never been conquered or broken out of during its roughly 800 year-long existence. It was used for officers and other influential prisoners in both world wars, contained a garrison, and had been updated for every technological leap of mankind. Plus, it sits on a really high mountain.
The Escape:
The Nazis and Konigstein did not know who they were fucking with. During the First World War, Giraud had been wounded and captured by the Germans in North Africa. Within two months, he escaped and made it back to France.
"Let's do it again, I want to try to beat my time."
Giraud's ingenious plan would take two years to put together.
First, he addressed the part of prison escape that every other escapee forgets--what you'll do once you're outside the walls. The prison was right there in Germany, after all, and he didn't even know the language. So, he convinced his captors to start classes in how to learn German.
Next, he needed to coordinate with somebody on the outside. His letters to and from his wife were read and censored by the guards, but they somehow developed a system of embedding coded messages that the captors never picked up on. Next, he got ahold of a map and memorized every detail of the surrounding geography.
All right, now there's just the matter of the, uh, 150-foot drop outside the prison walls that had made escape utterly impossible for the last eight centuries.
He and a friend came up with some twine, thin stuff like they use to bind packages. They twisted it together, bit by bit, until they had 150 feet of it. It took a year.
Last, he got himself a Tyrolean hat.
Somehow crucial in all of this
With some supplies gathered, Giraud made his escape down the 150-foot wall of Konigstein in broad daylight (guards patrolled at night). Upon reaching the ground, he changed into different clothes, shaved his moustache, and put on some glasses (thus making the one photo the Germans had completely useless for the search).
Speaking the German the guards had taught him, and wearing the right hat, he blended in perfectly with the German-speaking, hat-wearing populace, and eventually made it back to friendly territory after several close calls. Hitler was apparently furious. Not only had a potentially dangerous foe returned to the allies, but the duration of the escape included April 20th, better known as Hitler's birthday.
#1. James Nicholas "Nick" Rowe Survives Viet Cong, Hippies
The Capture:
Nick Roe was a legendary Green Beret of the Vietnam War, who invented the SERE army course, which entails survival, evasion, resistance, and escape in POW situations.
During the war, Rowe and his team fell into an ambush and were captured, after some heavy fighting, by the Viet Cong. Rowe and his comrades were separated, taken to a camp, and placed in wooden cages smaller than your closet. For the next five years, they would endure torture, disease, malnutrition, humiliation, and the very constant threat of death.
The Escape:
Aside from being in one of the worst places imaginable, Rowe had another problem. He was the intelligence officer for his unit, which meant he knew important stuff like the location and numbers of America's soldiers. Wisely, Rowe told the Viet Cong that he was only an engineer who'd been drafted and didn't know shit about the war. To "verify" the story, the Viet Cong doled out some torture.
When Rowe wouldn't break, they gave him an engineering problem to solve, which, being awesome, he did. He was in the clear until some hippies decided they'd save the world by visiting North Vietnam.
The activists were on a mission to visit POWs so they could tell America the North Vietnamese took good care of prisoners (and therefore the war should end?). They handed over a list of the soldiers they wanted to see and Rowe was among them. Why this list also included the fact that Nick was part of the Special Forces, and an intelligence officer to boot, is anyone's guess.
Thanks for that...
The Viet Cong were pissed. All of the info Rowe had was now way out of date and therefore useless. And he still wouldn't tell them anything anyway! In retaliation, he was staked out in a swamp, naked, where mosquitoes feasted on every inch of his body for days. Rowe's repeated escape attempts weren't winning him any points either. He'd even gotten away at one point, but returned when Viet Cong, shouting into the jungle, said they would kill one of Rowe's comrades.
Finally, his captors scheduled an execution date. Away from the camp, in the forest, the execution was about to take place when several American helicopters flew by. Using the small distraction, Nick beat down his armed guards with a flying 360 spin kick (probably), and ran into a nearby clearing, where one of the helicopter pilots overhead noticed him and landed for the rescue.
He went home to a well-earned retirement, or would have if he wasn't Colonel James Nicholas Rowe. This Green Beret stayed with the army, trained others to survive the POW experience, and fought terrorism till his last breath.
Just looking at his picture makes you more of a man.

Using Ubuntu 12.04.
I'd like to know if it is possible to set a different password for Ubuntu screensaver or not?
Using Ubuntu 12.04.
I'd like to know if it is possible to set a different password for Ubuntu screensaver or not?
It is possible. There are two ways of doing it:
Option 1: xlock - this program can lock your screen and has an option where you can specify the unlock password.
create encrpyted password:
lock with custom password:
The ubuntu package for xlock that I tried didn't have the -cpasswd option, so you might have to compile it from source to use that option.
Option 2: xscreensaver is an alternative to gnome-screensaver. There is this howto that show you how to set it up in Ubuntu. Once setup you can create a dummy user on your machine and set whatever password you want for the screensaver through that user. Then you run the screen saver as that user, that way when the screensaver comes up it will ask you to enter that users password. I tried and tested this method just now it works.
allow dummyuser to access your screen
run screensaver as dummyuser
You cannot have a different password for the screensaver unlock, from your log-in password, no.

On Faith: Local
Archbishop Alfred Owens may be presiding over the 82nd International Convocation of the Greater Mount Calvary Holy Church, but opening night of the convention belonged to his wife, Co-Pastor Susie Owens and several thousand ladies who were dressed in white and celebrating in the name of the Lord.
But then evangelist Joyce L. Rodgers of Carrollton, Texas took over. Dressed in an all black robe, it took Rodgers less than a minute to take off with a high octane version of the story about Paul and Silas found in the book of Acts. Rodgers sermon was titles, "It's Almost Midnight."
Bishop Noel Jones, a national televangelist from the City of Refuge in Los Angeles, preached Thursday at the event, which is being held at the Greater Mount Calvary Holy Church in Northeast. The theme of the confab, which has included activities and workshops through the week, is, "It's a Family Affair."

Twelve Secrets for Successful Stepparenting
In This Article:
You're not professional parents, you're amateurs. What's more, even the professional counselors and therapists you go to for advice struggle just as much on a personal basis with their kids because it's hard to stand away and be objective about your own.
So relax. Trust your instincts. Follow the advice of the American physician and author, Benjamin McLane Spock. He wrote, "The more people have studied different methods of bringing up children, the more they have come to the conclusion that what good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all."
This advice was echoed by a Tampa pediatrician, Lane France, who said, "The biggest problem I see with young parents today is that they don't trust their own judgment." Parents and stepparents interviewed for this book agreed with this counsel and happily divulged their secrets for success in blending their families.
- Communicate
This was the number one suggestion on everyone's list. Communication, which includes listening as well as speaking, is the key to opening the door to conflict resolution, for creating better understanding, and for solving problems that are bound to come up in daily life. Stepfamilies may have some difficulty with communication skills in the beginning. That's because the family members come from different original families, bringing with them varying styles of communication, different jargon, and dissimilar body language. But with time, patience, and practice, they should begin to blend even their communication styles and meet with success.
Open communication helps to keep expectations realistic.
"It startled me to realize that my new husband loved his own kids as much as I did mine," a newly remarried woman told me. "I guess that should have been obvious. But I wanted him to instantly love my girls as I did. When we started talking about it, I understood why he couldn't. It wasn't just a question of loyalty. He didn't have the history with my kids. We both knew we'd have to take things more slowly. I'm glad we could talk about it."

I suppose this depends on how much kit you have, and whether you want to make a business of this or just a bit of beer money on the side. It also depends on what level of kit you have, is it top end pro stuff? or general consumer level?
If you are serious, you should advertise in photography magazines - these are probably your main audience.

I'm vegetarian and have been hearing that in addition to protein synthesis being more difficult for us, some amino-acids may be more difficult to acquire. Does anyone know of which vegetables have those aminos or know of a good source?

Many plant foods have all the essential amino acids, but the ratios may be far-off of what your body needs, meaning you'd have to eat a huge amount in order to get an adequate dose of the rarer amino acids.
Look at this answer which examines the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) demonstrating not only which foods are complete, but how well they correlate to our dietary needs when taking into account digestibility and ratios. As a quick summary, soy has a very good ratio, followed by chickpeas, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Grains aren't so good.
The following vegetables give you a complete essential amino acid profile.
Quinoa - can be eaten like rice.
Soybean - as tofu, milk, miso
Spirulina - great as a sweat drink

Is there a mobile version of deals.woot?
Many sites have mobile versions of their sites but I don't believe woot does. Wouldn't it be nice if there was an m.deals.woot version for those of us with phones and tablets? How about an android app too?
8 Answers answer
Question is different from http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/fbde4810-7fea-4676-9fc8-87e847d5b698/how-do-you-like-the-mobile-version-of-deals-woot-now
Not talking about compatibility with iOs.
How many times has this been asked and answered? [edit] Like 20 times -_- I know you are trying to ask something different, but you answered it right in your question! NO there isn't, and you already knew that.
There is always WootWatcher for Android, but it does not have deals.woot.
And of course there is WootCheck for Android which does have a deals.woot page, though you can not vote, etc. When you click on the deal it opens a new tab on your devices browser and takes you directly to the deal. nuff said, good day to you
@miquinn: No need for you to be rude.
Just looking for a trimmed down version of this site without all the other unneeded columns and high bandwidth required images.
I have Wootstar on my iPhone. Gives me deals of the day.
@cengland0: Yes - "Woot Check"
It gives you all of the woot sites (Woot, Wine.Woot, Shirt.Woot, Sellout.Woot, Kids.Woot, Home.Woot, Sport.Woot, Moofi, AND [YES] Deals.Woot.) I run it on my Android device.
But yes, this has a "deja vu" aspect to it...
I'm not sure because I haven't tried a "mobile" version. I pretty much have a desktop available 24/7.
Thanks for letting me know about wootcheck so plus 1 for you. I just tried it and it is pretty good. The only problem is with the deals.woot site. It doesn't show the fresh data and only shows the popular. Also, I cannot vote on the deals that are listed.
So far it's the best solution to the problem but not a perfect fix. Hopefully a mobile version of the site can be created soon now that I'm slowly converting away from desktop computers and going toward the use of portable/wireless android devices.
@iampgray: Oh and one more thing it's missing is the questions and ability to add comments.

With the July 4th holiday falling mid-week, on-water assistance providers expect to see a lot of boats to be out on the water during the entire nine-day span from June 30th to July 8th.
"We're going to be out pretty much in full force 4th of July weekend," said Regional Land and Water Rescue Unit President Mike Cherry
The Regional Land and Water Rescue Unit is gearing up for a busy week but say just because they're out there, it doesn't mean you shouldn't prepare yourself for the what if.
"The law says you don't have to wear your life jacket when you're in transport but you don't have time to grab your life jacket and put it on when an accident happens," explained Cherry.
Another way to be prepared is to make sure you don't get stranded.
"Make sure you got enough fuel and everything for your destination," said Cherry.
And one way to avoid an accident is to avoid alcoholic beverages.
"Please don't drink and operate a boat," said Cherry.
"If you have to drink, be the one sitting on the sideline enjoying it."
Staying on top of the weather conditions in your area is also a good way to know what to expect on the water.
Boating is one of the country's most fun and rewarding family past times, but everyone should enjoy it responsibly.
The Regional Land and Water Rescue Unit has 54 members and services Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

There is currently a thief in my fortress and I do not know what to do with him. So, what can be done about a thief?
Thieves come in two varieties: goblins and kobolds. Kobolds aim to steal items while goblins aim to steal your children! Parents of course become very distraught when their children are snatched away.
Dealing with thieves is easy: spot them before they take anything. A found thief will run away without a fight. Thieves are invisible (to you) until they are spotted, but they are on the map. Any dwarf and tamed animal near the thief has a chance to spot it. So to increase your odds of spotting any incoming thieves, it is typical to chain a pet near your entrances. (This doesn't block caravans.)
It is also worth noting that doors and traps will not stop all thieves.
It is also possible of course for your military to deal with thieves, but they're quick so your best bet is just to prevent them from getting to the goods.
In order to deal with thieves in my fortresses, I always lay out my entrances no wider than three tiles and chain a tamed animal on either side of the entrance one tile in. Doing this will ensure that the thief can't get into the fortress without being spotted by at least one of the animals. Once spotted, a thief will do its best to flee and will only stop if attacked by another unit.
Since your dwarves will sometimes need to go outside to fish/gather plants/chop wood/vomit/etc., you may also want to wall in a patch of the surface and create another entrance leading to that. Additionally, you should set your meeting zone indoors or within the walled-in area so that your fort's children will stay where any goblin kidnappers will be forced to go through your chained animals to get to them.

We have a 3 year old toddler who is not a fan of spicy foods. She doesn't like heat of any type, and doesn't like strong flavors. How can we season a turkey chili to keep her happy, and still make it tasty for adults?
You have four immediate options as I see it:
I generally go with either #2 or #4 if I'm cooking for a large crowd.
... the long term solution is to try to slowly adjust the flavoring of the chili until the child's more accepting of the flavor. But remember, everyone has different tastes, and our taste buds change over time ... the child might be more sensitive to bitter or spicy foods right now, but could learn to enjoy them in the future. (I personally now love spicy foods, when I didn't as a kid ... but I still hate bitter)
You might try making a few varients, and see if there might be a specific taste that your child objects to, so that you can adjust. I assume you have the 'you must try at least one bite' rule, and don't accept the 'I don't like (whatever)' temper-trantrums.
Chili flavor doesn't necessarily mean heat, there are varieties that are mild but won't add heat. What is sold as chili powder in most places is medium heat variety, but you can use any ground chili. Paprika is a chili powder, as are ground chillis of any variety such as ancho, chipotle, tabasco, hungarian wax pepper, etc. So you can make chili with whatever one you like. You can also add chilis whole and then pull them out without breaking the skin, which gives you the flavor without the heat
I have a 3 1/2 year old as well, same problem. But he loves chili! I use a small amount of paprika or another mild chili and add other flavor layers like lots of cumin and my secret ingredient which is a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. These make for a flavorful chili without the heat.

Jaffee: Moir is 'A Wildcat for Life'
SEYMOUR -- "A Wildcat for Life." That Seymour High football motto has been posted in the locker room for decades.
As Rob Moir, recent Boston College graduate and former four-year Eagles player, returned to his alma mater Friday morning during preseason conditioning workouts, he fully understood the phrase.
Moir will be remembered for his Most Valuable Player Award in the 2007 Class SS state title game when he accounted for five touchdowns. He ran for scores of 57 and 37 yards, and threw touchdown passes of 46, 53 and 26 yards, all to Rich Spader, in a 44-34 win over Tolland.
What people may not remember is that Moir was an All-Naugatuck Valley League receiver as a sophomore before suffering a season-ending injury as a junior.
In 2007, when then coach Paul Sponheimer needed someone to repllace four-year starter Ryan Osiecki, now a senior at the University of New Haven, he turned to Moir. Moir accepted, saying it was his job to do what was best for the team.
Current Seymour offensive coordinator Ray Nappi said Moir's presence, on and off the field, separated him from the rest.
"I remember Rob coming to the sidelines against Woodland (in a Class SS semifinal that Seymour won, 46-28) and saying, 'Give me the ball,'" Nappi recalled. "And they did. Rob's leadership set him apart. If someone else didn't do it, Rob would take control. Even if he got lit up in a game, he would come off the field with a smile on his face. He knew he made a mistake, but he made sure that he got better every single day after that."
Moir's work ethic resonated with his teammates. But he downplayed his individual role, especially during an 11-1 season in his senior year.
"Throughout the season, we all cared about each other and didn't want to let anyone fail," said Moir. "We all supported each other through the ups and downs."
Which brings us to Moir's hopes now. Fresh off an internship at Repucum America, LLC, a marketing firm in Stamford, he is awaiting job offers and hopes to work in New York City or Boston.
As time permits this fall, he'll observe four-year head coach Tom Lennon's practice and offer insight, if asked. His message to aspiring Seymour players would be is to seize the moment.
"Kids need to take practice seriously," said Moir. "There's no point in being out here if you don't want to get better. When I played, I never wanted to waste a day. My coaches wouldn't let us."
The 22-year-old appreciates what Sponheimer and former offensive coordinator Bob Kelo did to elevate his game. Kelo also coached Moir in baseball and helped him get recruited to Boston College, where he was a four-year player.
"They made me the player and leader that I was," said Moir. "I'd get yelled at if I made a mistake, but I couldn't take it personally. They were trying to make me better. As an athlete, you must be able to take constructive criticism.
"You can't argue or question the teacher, coach or adult," added Moir. "The way I looked at it, I was the player, they're the coaches, and it's their job to make decisions. I just needed to handle it."
Just like at Boston College.
"My college coach (Mike Gambino) told me that I could go to him for any reason and that he'll respect my answers and take them to heart," noted Moir. "You have to earn a right to question a coach. Some athletes may feel there is an entitlement to do that. There is not."

What is a fix, the opposition using the corner cheat and you not being able to, or anything you say upsets at least 2 players in your team when using teamtalks?!
why when i go to start new game does it still say that i am using version 12.0.0?? surely it should be 12.1.0?
Because no updates were made to the database. Check preferences to see what version you are running.
If the players have larger reputations than you do, you'll find it very hard to command their respect, which is as it should be.
Gary Speed is not managing Wales anymore in my game. So did they do a database fix somehow
From my, and others, experiences the opposition scores a lot of goals from set pieces, especially from the corner cheat. I also found i score less from set pieces, and after trying to balence the ratio of goals received to scored from set pieces with the corner cheat i scored almost none.The opposition aren't using the corner cheat, their instructions have just been improved to match the sorts of goals human managers get from set pieces without cheating
I agree with this part, but it doesn't explain why i get at most 4 reactions from team talks and most of them bad. Why are players with lower reputations than mine unaffected (have no reaction at all)?If the players have larger reputations than you do, you'll find it very hard to command their respect, which is as it should be.
There's nothing in the match engine that will make something work for the AI and not for you - you have the exact same instructions available as they do.
When a team talk reaction is coloured, it basically means you have changed their morale.
If your team are already on good morale it becomes much harder to see a reaction that isn't negative.
Thanks Neil Brock (and Ackter) for your repplys, but my opinion is that teamtalks were better before (and the development team problably thoutgh as well, otherwise when you released the game, temtalks would have been as they are with the new patch).The teamtalks weren't good before the patch, but they are worse now, as are corners. It really doesn't matter what i say, unless more people single out what i perceive as problems with the new patch, so untill this happens you are wright and i am wrong.
Team talks haven't really changed - its the reputations that have changed.
also in that patch you made the unoffical languages won't work,as an israeli that talking hebrew i wanna give the game back.
the fact that the hebrew language that i downloaded isn't working is very annoying.
Just a small issue here, but when trying to arrange friendlies (for any of my teams), it lets me choose the first 1 as normal, and obviously it then shows up in the main fixture list (ie the 1 that lets you see the scorers, match information etc), but it doesn't if I then go and try and set up another friendly in the arrange friendly section. Instead it shows the same information as the last time I was in that screen (so if for example my last proposal at the same time was for a home game v Man Utd, it'll show that, and then I end up having to click twice on the date I want, as it goes back to the top of the list. Sorry if that sounds a bit confusing, but I do find it annoying.
Stampler, stop being so aggressive please.
I'm seeing attribute changes in my players (all raising which is good) Is this normal? Is anyone else getting this?
or making the language?
also if its not an open source project,why theres an editor?
the fact that hebrew is my talking language is making hard the fact that the game is in english.
i couldn't even finished a month in the game before the hebrew language came.now im in my third season.
you didn't took in thought the people that not talking the languages that comes with the game.if you didnt gave us the languages,at least let us make them.
I think there is a problem with the match team talk!! There is no reaction at all... Maybe one player seem to look switch off! That cant be right...
Hasn't been mentioned anywhere in this thread, but has the bug that meant I had to play the game with my anti-virus software turned off to stop certain error happening being corrected?
No reaction is only a bad thing if your players are on poor morale. If they're on good morale already, no reaction is fine.
But you can win 3-0 and still claim that you at not happy with the preformence, and still no reaction. I think that is at a problem.
"Thats it. It is UNofficial. Why should SI care about languages they didnt officially write the game for?
This game is not an open source project, is it?
You were not promised the israeli language on the game package, were you?"
funny comment? why should they care about? because they might lose a lot of people buying this game. the german speechfile doesnt work anymore, too. i think 95% of all german players prefer the german language and i guess about 70% only play this game due to the german speechfile...otherwise they wouldnt understand enough to play the game.

"While that's unfortunate, the onus is on the creators of the language files to update them to work with the new update.
It's the same with most third-party additions, like scouting tools and some skins. "
A pity so few german FM players can understand English good enough to play the game (if it is true what youre saying)
And speaking about "losing a lot of people buying this game".
FM is not officially released in germany, so I don´t think SI does care too much about their sales there.

your comments are a pity....
i dindnt say that so many people dont understand english language....i jsut said that they wouldnt play without having the german language because of not understanding good enough(there are a lot of specific words which u dont use every day) .....two completely different things.
by the way..... i saw that the question already has been answered.
dont get offtopic here please.
this case is closed I guess.
I've read this thread and the changes and I've probably missed it but can anyone tell me whether the game still pauses when you minimize it? On the previous patches when you put a game on and wanted to come off FM and browse the net etc...the game would freeze and not play the game you put on? Its not a major bug for me, just slightly annoying. So yeah has that been fixed?
Thanks for a great update SI ...although i feel we should have breath of fresh air with the whole match engine. its still too unrealistic. now with steam there is no disc limit so you can spiceup the match engine more. im not saying better graphics or anything. just a more fluid match engine.
is there anyway in removing the updated patch?
if i remove the game and re-install it will it give me the game with the updated patch or as original?? I get the game problem as #436.
I had that but after reading the changelist I didn't see an issue with it but after downloading it I get the same problem as post #436!
From your manager profile (Hit the Home button to get there), go to "Options" (not preferences) and have a look a the defaults on that page.
See if any of them are set wrong for you.
how do i download this?
thanks for the reply
If I remove the game from steam will I be able to download it again and if so which update will it be downloaded with?
It will download the most recent version.
so basically by getting around the piracy issue by using steam you are now not allowing people to choose which updates to use if they buy the game now?!
I'm very unhappy, I had previously removed the contents of the lnc-folder, and as before, the patch recreated them. Fair enough, but WHY where the changes implemented in my ongoing game?
Anyone know how to get the colours for playoff and relegation zones back on the League table?
We are currently discussing and trying to find the cause of this issue on the bugs forum at http://community.sigames.com/showthr...08#post7408808
Apparantly playing another league game seems to fix the issue. Cheers.

Haven't got screenshot as not on computer at the moment, but just wanted to say that in the championship, with the details tab set for the results, some games would not show up at the bottom and I could only see them by changing the results view to basic.
Haven't got time to read through the thread but has there been a change to the team talks because I just can't get a lift out of my team at all.
- Fixed Bans widget not displaying Global Ban
the bug is still present...
as italian players with a ban ( as in the editor) in the game are ban free...
as PAOLONI, GERVASONI, QUADRINI, SAVERINO,TISCI..
only DONI, MICOLUCCI and SOMMESE are OK
Another thing which seems to have changed is the finishing which can be really awful. Players being inside the penalty area completely free, blasts it to the stands (This happens with the likes of Villa and Messi btw)
Other than these two issues the patch seems good so far for me.

I'm still getting crash dumps if i alt+tab with full screen mode, going try to switch to windowed mode to see if it helps.
Hey, I stubbled onto one very annoying thing after the update. Most of the time I do a manual search of new young regens when they come into the game by going through some of the top teams in Europe, but as of now when I go to teams transfer history and set it to "Youth" and when I come back to this screen (Transfer History) after taking alook at player it always goes to "All Transfers" instead of staying at "Youth".
Hope I am making myself clear here and is this normal? Since it didnt happen before the update.
How come the Spartak Moscow stadium is not implemented into the game?
Sports Interactive can kill the phoenix, but the phoenix will always rise again. Proof? It has already risen.
The advanced rules is something special that SI should be endorsing, not restricting and disabling. If you can use it you are at the pinnacle of talent of the FM Editing community. The day it dies is the day that SI stop making their in game competitions using it.
SI, please embrace us. We want to make the best ever files for your wonderful game which forms such a big part of our lives. FMUpdates was formed because we want to make the best updates for FM! Since we joined together our main England Levels 7 & 8 file has been downloaded over 4800 times. Our new products, the North American Expansion and Project O have been downloaded over 100 times each, and will become more successful as more work is input into it. The fixtures we have released have had over 600 downloads, that does not include what is bundled with the England Levels 7 & 8 release.
We are also working very hard on other things - nothing to do with the Advanced Rules. I have started working on adding Team Cup Histories for all major English cups, from the FA Cup to the FA Trophy, that you could use for your FM database. I hope to get helpers to work with us on adding even more.
On a final note. Please reopen the Advanced Rules thread only if you can embrace us as a vibrant part of your community.
Hear, hear!
The main problem is simple:
Using the advanced editor can cause instabilities and crashes in people's games. If people only used these files themselves then I doubt it would matter, but when passing those edited files around the community you could be affecting the games of other people who then bring it back to SI (who could spend hours/days etc investigating the issue only to find out it had nothing to do with the game).
Until the editor can officially be expanded to support those extra options it makes sense that SI are trying to put a stop to it.
If you see what I mean.
In short:
a) a database made with the advanced editor that screws up someone's game (and it may not do so until many seasons in) reflects badly on SI, not the database editors
b) SI effectively waste manhours trying to find a bug that isn't a bug with their game.
Hopefully the official editor can be expanded to support all the features needed, but until it does you can surely understand why SI are uneasy about its use.
Ackter makes a good point the amount of times my game has crashed cos of downloading edited databases etc.
SI should easily be able to spot their own files, because the Advanced Rules loaded by the game should be retaining the author of the file.
How can you disillusion your own fans from wanting to make the game better? The work spent trying to disable the Advanced Rules could be better spent making a distinction between the Advanced Rules set up by SI and the Community.
I appreciate those concerns. I think people posting advanced files should probably provide the caveat that users *may* experience crashes and that they download and play the files at their own risk.
If SI expends as many hours in tracking down bugs as is claimed, then perhaps "are you playing/have you loaded any custom databases?" should be one of the questions asked. I know that not everyone who downloads and plays custom databases will know which were created with the advanced panels.
My ideal scenario is that with the success of this year's game they'll hopefully be able to devote a lot of time to improving the editor.
I hope you're right, Ackter. Discovering the advanced panel in FM11 pretty much ensured that I bought FM12.
As I see it the issue is NOT with the advanced panels, but with editors who fail to properly test and retest their edits before they release them to the hungry public. This applies whether the league expansions were created within the standard or advanced editor.
My file is regularly tested for 40-50 season in game to ensure that it works long term and I've played it to death to get it working for everyone.
SI must be aware which edits have caused issues and let us know. If it is mine then tell me. If it is someone elese's then tell them and ask them to remove the file download.
I will also state that so far this is proving to be my personal favourite Football Manager game since it started in 2005. The fact that it has been so successful fills me with so much excitement for what may be in stall in the near future (yes, I did say near, not necessarily FM2013). SI gets so many things right, however trying to deactivate the Advanced Rules is not the right thing to do in my eye. Besides, you can't get rid of it yourselves because you make the in game competitions using it!
Get the basic editor to the point where you can make the game with it. Then get rid of the Advanced Rules.
how do I change my game back to 12.04 instead of 12.1? I went to preferences>display>version which says 1.0 but It does not allow me to change.
In the match screen the goalkeeper kit changes to the colour of the normal kit the players wear for some reason....
Also the age on the player stat screens has not been working since fm10!! if you look at one player stats and then another the age doesnt change:
I received few offers for 2 of my guys 1 week before the en of the morket (31.08).
For 1 of my player, I have accepted 2 offers. The player refused on of them the 30th. And the 2nd offer ? we are the 1st, the market is over but nothing happened with this 2nd offer. It still on his profile. Strange.
For my 2nd player, I received a loan offer. I accepted it but my player never answered. Finally the offer was canceled because the end of market. The player had +5 days to answer. Before the update, I never saw that kinf of error.
Also, I have problem during the match. The pitch is empty and I have the comments only.
There is lot of other problem but I am too tired to write more.
My opinion : Rubbish update but because the STEAM system, we do not have choice to use it.
im trying to sign coaches and it says i an have 11 but when i get to 7 the board keep cancelling my deals saying i have too many members of staff.
Although in saying this judging by other post there maybe a slight issue with coaches

I havent had a positive team talk yet, not sure if anyone else has noticed this? Whatever I say to my players after 10 games straight they have always had no affect or been negative reaction, where as before I got 8/10 right.. Possibly a bug.
Also we've made changes considering 'starting reputation' of managers. If you've got a lower reputation than your players you're going to have to earn their respect and trust before being able to get major positive reactions from them. I hope that makes sense.
[sorry double post]

Gave the changelist a read and perhaps my comprehension is a tad lousy, but has the bug with Manager biographies been fixed - the one where the latter major trophies/league titles don't get listed if won consecutively.
With coaches, its also impossible for me to sign a youth coach and no scouts want to join me. Im Villa so not small
I havent got any youth coaches and 9 out of 11 in total so still space. Also on the staff search the only scouts i can get are very poor with under 10 on judging ability and potential. before the recent update this wasnt the case.
Like I mentioned above, SI should find it easy to identify which rules are which by authoring the files. We author our files, so author yours and filter out the bug reports using community built Advanced Rules.
Any reason why i cant load my own skin? Only have the optio for the Light & Dark SI options...
I'm also having an issue of hiring coaches. It says I can have up to 15 coaches but the board cancels deals even though I'm well under that number.
If you go on the Editor's Hideaway, I am pretty sure a survey of the files available, and how they are made, will give you a pretty damning version of your current editor. When you introduced this creating a competition thing in the editor it was brilliant, we were all happy just with the fact we can make new leagues. Well I was =}.
Thing is, since then it has just gone backwards. Changes that have been made preventing creation of accurate superleagues (you can say unrealistic, but they were popular) and just the fact that you haven't really added much in the way of new league features to the editor. Sure, you have a lot of things to edit, I appreciate that, but it kinda isn't on that you neglect this. I mean if you can come back and tell me that there are major changes in the offing (a la with making sure DLR, adding leagues etc worked perfect hence delaying updates) then fair play. However, the current state of the editor isn't really good enough any more. Especially when you do consider what people such as Uncle Ron, Magicmastermind124, even myself to a lesser degree have managed to achieve with this.
The reason I even bother to say this is because you do have a history of listening to fan's concerns, even minority ones (which yes those using the advanced panel are). The way see it there are two ways you could proceed:
1. Pretty much as you are now, without any advanced panel (well, not true is it? but with an ostracised editing community which means communication about crashes these files can cause becomes non-existant) and with whatever editor updates you may or may not have in the future.
2. Change your mind and allow the use of the advanced panel.
Here is what I would like to suggest, if this is a real problem for you, which I shall take your word on it and assume it is. There are people who use these forums who are hugely familiar with the advanced panel, so how about you use their knowledge to help pre-screen releases of files. It is kind of self-moderation. No file made with the advanced editor can be put on these forums without stringent testing to ensure stability. This can be done by the person who is making them, or by volunteers who will give up CPU time for this. I understand this is not the only forum in the world, and this won't totally eliminate the problem you are saying. But I like dialogue.
Go and look at some of the files created, and tell me you don't feel either insanely happy that people are taking your creations and doing such wonderful things with them, to the pleasure of many.
It is worth a try, anyway, to not perform a rant, but try to make rational discussion on this topic.
Regarding the Advanced Editor - why not just stick a warning sign when you open that menu to indicate that SI cannot always help you if you use the advanced editor?
It is clear the community - the users - your customer base - has been an avid fan of this, both directly (the editors themselves) and indirectly (people who use these custom leagues). You are taking away a feature that they enjoy.
Are you listening to your users, or are you just concerned with keeping your bug tracking levels down?

I have this file that I got from a friend who says that its the disk image of an android mobile. Doing a
file on the image I get the following:-
$ file t.bin
t.bin: Linux rev 0.0 ext2 filesystem data (mounted or unclean), UUID=badcafee-dead-beef-0000-000000000000
So I try to mount this onto a folder in order to see its contents:-
$ mkdir testmountpoint
$ cd testmountpoint
$ sudo mount t.bin testmountpoint/
mount: /home/developer/analysis/data.bin is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)
$ sudo mount -o loop t.bin testmountpoint/
mount: Stale NFS file handle
How could I go about reading the contents of this disk image?

- BSO Case Number: OP01-10-47989 & OP01-11-54611
- PIO Number: 01-12-41
- Date: December 24, 2001
- Place of Occurrence: Various places in Broward and Palm Beach Counties
- Several
- Abdelmoumen Kraitiss, 33, 5/6/68, no known permanent address
Description of Incident:
A man wanted by the Broward Sheriff's Office for brashly stealing valuables from women's locker rooms at two area health clubs is finally behind bars.
Thirty-three year old Abdelmoumen Kraitiss is an illegal immigrant whose Moroccan visa expired in March of 1997. His Florida crime spree began in June of 2000 with a drug possession charge from Lauderhill police.
In 2001 alone, the man now known as the Locker Room Bandit has been charged with theft more than a half-dozen times, including March 9th in North Lauderdale, March 19th in Plantation, and April 1st in Ft. Lauderdale.
On April 8th, 2001, he was arrested by the Broward Sheriff's Office for stealing, using the alias Abdelmoume Kraitiss.
His arrests resumed April 10th when he was charged by Ft. Lauderdale police. That was followed by arrests on May 6th in Palm Beach County, May 12th in Ft. Lauderdale, August 2nd in Hollywood, and September 7th in Margate.
Broward Sheriff's Office District 12 detectives became involved after Kraitiss' October 24th theft of valuables from a locker room at Gold's Gym, at 1427 E. commercial Blvd. in Oakland Park.
Other thefts from health club locker rooms on November 16th and 24th helped earn Kraitiss the moniker, The Locker Room Bandit.
He's been sitting in the Palm Beach County jail since November 29th after being arrested on theft and assault charges. His use of different aliases has helped him avoid capture and longer jail terms.
Kraitiss will likely be tried and sentenced in Florida before facing deportation to his native Morocco.

This made me sit up when I read the following in the new issue of Pointe Magazine. (*) Here is Marcello Gomes speaking:
Partnering is dancing. I sometimes see people partnering and it looks llike, "Now I am going to partner," and "Now I am doing my solo." It is one thing -- dancing with your partner, not just trying to create the line. You are creating phrases and movement. It can take a long time, or it can be like adding water.
I've seen a lot of what Gomes describes. Some of it seems all too firmly entrenched in the old "porteur" tradition.
What do you think? Who are the best male partners of today? What is it that makes them able to partner women who may vary in temperament, schooling, or tradition?

Learn about the Psychology Video Contest
As a Psychology major at CSC, you will learn about people - how and why they think and behave the way they do. In short, Psychology opens a window to the world.
Psychology is often defined as the study of the mind and behavior. The American Psychological Association (APA) suggests that Psychology embraces all aspects of the human experience: from the function of the brain to the action of nations, from child development to care of the aged.
When most people think of Psychology, they normally think only of the clinical profession - that is, providing therapy to people in need. Actually, Psychology touches all aspects of life, and goes far beyond the mere clinical. Experimental psychologists study such things as learning, memory, creativity, judgment and decision-making, sports performance, motivation, dating and mating behavior and much more.
As a student in the Chadron State Psychology program, you will have choices among classes in a wide variety of fields in Psychology: experimental, abnormal, cognitive, developmental, physiological, personality, forensic and social.
The mission of the Psychology Program at Chadron State College is to support the college, the Department of Counseling, Psychology and Social Work and the larger community by providing learning experiences that inspire student achievement, instill ethics and values, promote service and facilitate lifelong learning. Psychology students will develop the knowledge, an understanding, appreciation, discipline and skills that will enable them to function personally and professionally as informed and socially responsible citizens. Students will be prepared to pursue graduate training, careers within the discipline or careers in affiliated areas.

I've been commuting in Texas for the past year, where when it rains, there's usually a lot of lightning. I don't ride in that stuff. So my commuter bike has had relatively few wet days. Mostly hot and dry weather.
I bought whatever it was that walmart had in stock in the automotive section and it's been fine for the past year. no signs of peeling. it might have even been the 3m stuff, which is highly regarded.
On my frame, I put electrical tape underneath because the package had warnings about the adhesive being strong enough to peel off paint. elsewhere, however, I didn't bother. I put some on the bare metal of my cranks and on some plastic bits.
