Anyway, further a-do, Manager Profile;
I was all set to go FC United.. but I'd already done them in I think 2006? (Whatever the first year they were eligible to end up as a playable team) and I never play the same team twice (have done Guiseley, Burscough, FC United and Ebbsfleet iirc), and Nantwich's stadium is so crap, they have no facilities, good challenge. Thought about using a downloaded Evesham but I don't like using a team I haven't managed to get in my save/reloads.

I just signed an EPIC assman for the new season who is light years beyond this league. Very happy manager right now
my top scorer has a serious viral infection - not sure why he is out for 10-12 months!!
what is it aids??!?!
Season 2010/11 Hastings United - Blue Square South
Oh that hurts...
So, we finished 6th. Yes that is one place below the playoff places. Distraught about covers it - ok that's being melodramatic. What cost us the playoffs? Stats fans will see that scoring 63 goals whilst conceding 61 goals is a surefire way of ensuring that you stay a) part time and b) where you deserve to be.
152k in the red. Red is the bad one.
Top Scorer
Tommy Amos - 17 goals in 32 starts for the Irishman released from Wigan pre-season. He also grabbed 12 assists and the most man of the match awards in the league with 9. He's going to be gutted that he's not getting promoted...
Player of the Season
I'm not going to go with the fan verdict here - there's only 12 of them. Michael Ricketts can have this award, just because I feel like I may have slated him a little in previous updates.
Goal of the Season
I'll have to give this to centre back Andy Parry. He only scored 3 goals all season but he sure scores good goals when he makes the effort.
Parry Vs Burgess Hill in the FA Cup 2nd Qual Rd
I can't say I enjoyed not getting promoted but it should give me a summer to strengthen and clear out some dead wood.
Oh, and just to make it worse I've been voted Manager of the Year. Thanks guys, rub it in.

Just got the game through the post, holidaying as I type! Can't wait to start this years attempt
KLH, where did you get the logo and facepacks from? im doing a Hastings game as well
Just a quick pre-season update for the Tiverton Town 2012/13 BSS season:
If we don't win this bloody league this year I will be an INCREDIBLY unhappy manager!
Preseason results:
v Exeter 1-1
v Plymouth 1-0
v Bradford PA 1-1
vTorquay 2-0
v Crewe 2-2
As I said: We don't win and I will be really unhappy, looking at those pre-season results.
FC United of Manchester Season review 2011/2012
Well well well, low and behold we got promoted via the playoffs after finishing 4th. After having a very rough Christmas and February, we managed to steady the ship and string together a long list of wins. Our fantastic GD was shot to pieces during the awful run of Christmas and Feb, which was slightly disappointing. However, winning Manager of the Year award was a good thing!
So, to the playoffs:
Loosing 1-0 in the home leg to Wrexham was a pitter pill to swallow. We had to come out fighting in the return leg and we did, beating them 0-3 in the away leg. Chris Fagan hadn't scored in 20 hours of football going into the final. He put that hoodoo to rest with a stunning performance against Histon in the final winning 2-0.
Financially we are stable. Last season we were given a transfer budget of 6k, but I removed that instantly and pumped that into wages - giving me the chance to sign higher end players and keep my overall finances in check. Finances.
Goals of the season:
I have a few, which are still uploading now.
1. FC United vs Gainsborough - Montano Goal 66th minute
2. Eastwood vs FC United - Ozyakup Goal 83rd minute
3. Corby vs FC United - Montano Goal 4th minute
Star players:
1. Chris Fagan - Started great bagging goals left right and centre, but it was his support work that puts him on this list. Running at defenders causing all sorts of problems, freeing up space for wingers and other strikers. Top player
2. Christian Montano - Simply phenomenal. Dont need any more on that
3. Samuel Ameobi - Suprisingly did very well. Stats aren't fantastic but scored a heap this season. Crucial goals too!
4. Ozyakup - The creative force in my midfield. Fantastic player.
5. James Gilpin - A ROCK between the sticks.
Target for next season
Survive. Work on putting as much financially behind the team as possible. From there to establish FC United as a BSP team and maybe a late push for promotion. Need to remove some of the deadwood and bring in some experience. Definitely need to bring in a dead ball specialist. Only signed 1 player so far, in Cedric Evina.
Will do my pre season update later this evening.
Right, after a few reloads I've decided to start with Marine.
A crash and a failure to save has meant that i am back in January! at this rate im never going to finish my first season! now i need to remember the name of the awesome DC that i must have signed sometime after January as he isnt in my squad now
On the Upside i was on a 10 game losing streak so every cloud and all that.
FC United of Manchester - Blue Square Premier - 2012/13 Season
Another poor start to the season meant we were playing catch up all the way through, but again we did this superbly. At home we were nearly unbeatable, losing only twice all season, but our away form nearly cost us. After losing our penultimate game to rock bottom Solihull Moors, only a win against Wrexham on the final day would be good enough to win the title. We just about managed it.
League Table
League Positions Graph
We were in playoff contention for the entire second half of the season, but when we won a few matches and seemed to be about to overturn the leaders, poor form hit us and we droped back. Luckily, no team ran away with it this year so our often indifferent form wasn't punishsed too badly.
The cups were dismal again, and unless I get relegated, promotion means I'll never win the FA Trophy
The squad was almost completely overhauled in the summer, the strikers the only area to remain intact and they were the weakest part of the side. The midfield was superb, real depth and a variety of player, most of whom will hopefully be able to cut it in the division above. At the back we were fairly solid, Cameron Lindsay was a rock when he played. Again, hopefully I won't have to bring in too many new faces here.
Somehow we still have money in the bank, but we're shipping upwards of £20k a month now, so I'm not sure how long that'll last. Board still won't let me have training or youth upgrades though.
New first XI basically, the standouts were Kaby, Lindsay and Cassidy. Out went the promoted side from the year before.
Best XI
I'd agree with this in every position, except maybe Akpan instead of Hewson.
Onwards and upwards. I hope to keep the core of this squad the same, but I feel we'll need some more quality up front and at fullback to keep us up.
Has anyone got a link for logo's etc?
Don't know if I'm breaking any rules but seems people want to know and it's easy to just post direct links.
If I am just delete my post or tell me to remove it.

well it seems the silver lining that i thought was their isnt, 2 games, 2 loses a 1-3 and a 0-4, think those are actually worse than what i lost them before, oh well guess that i am going on that losing run again
I seem to be falling into old habits here - I now have 10 different nationalities in my squad.
I must also admit that I haven't actually heard of one of the countries - 10 points for anyone who can point to Comoros on a map.
Managed to scrape a pre-season friendly win against Championship side and parent club Swindon, only for Danny Wilson to come out in the media an slag me off! No chance of me getting anyone on loan this season then...
Hello everyone,
I have put the ddt. file in the folder just as the instructions say but it isn't showing up in the game for me to tick/untick? Any ideas?
I have restarted game ect and reloaded skin to see if that works but no luck
I seem to be doing some sort of repeat of last year! Looked set to struggle and get relegated mid-season, then suddenly we surged up the table! I've went from 21st to 2nd in 20 games?! And in all comps, we're on a 23 match unbeaten run?!
10 games to go, this could all go wrong yet...
Wowsers, the step up to League 2 is looking sharp at the moment. 5 straight losses to start the season, our through balls are looking amateur and we look generally inept.
Finding this really difficult, think i could get relegated in the first season hmm
Just a quick update on my game. Sorry no screenshot since I am posting from work. Only 4 games in with Canvey and sporting an 0-4 record. We do have 4 losses but every game has been 1-0 except for the second where we conceded 3 penalties. We have had more chances and more possession each game but just cannot find net. It doesn't help that both Chris Fagan and Nathan Rooney went down for 2 months at-least in our 2nd to last pre-season game. Callum Bagshaw has been disappointing in his lack of finishing. Just signed Christian Montano before I stopped playing last night so hopefully he will brighten the attack until Fagan gets back.
On another note has anyone else had completely useless scouts? I have two on the Blue Square Premiere and have yet to receive even one player report.
I know it has NOTHING to do with this year's challenge. But this man is a complete fruitloop, but at the same time a complete GOD.
Bedlington Terriers Billionaire Investor
If this man can make Bedlington Terriers available in the Dafuge Challenge in the next 5 years, I will worship him.
Still catching up on the rest of the thread and should have a feedback post up soon.
Borini seems like quite a signing, Jordan. He's currently worth £2.5m and playing regularly at Sporting Lisbon on my save.
Currently scored 8 and conceded 8 in my first 15 League 2 games.
They are, I've got them working
"BSP, we're having a laugh!"
A good start! I had serious doubts over my starting XI before this game, especially my two new strikers Saric and Mason after a poor pre-season, but they looked really impressive.
Played a few friendlies, done my best in the transfer market, brought a few staff in, Progress so far before the season begins....

Darren1983: So close! Playoffs can be a toss-up and 3 penalties conceded in one match probably would have the neighbors checking in to make sure I was OK. 20th to 2nd in one season is quite the improvement though and I'm sure you can get promoted next season!
Gypsum: Congrats on promotion! How did you manage to have a 610 average attendance with Chippenham? I think I'm averaging about half of that With that kind of average how do your finances look? I'm currently bleeding money horribly.
GeeGeezOrz and davidbowe: Welcome to the challenge and GL!
KLH84: 6th is still a good result! At least you didn't miss the playoffs only on goal difference. That would also have the neighbors asking questions about me! Congrats on manager of the year however! I've yet to even pick up a manager of the month yet in my first season.
Yidd0!: Congrats on promotion. I'm jealous of your finances! I've seen James Gilpin on quite a few peoples list this year. I'm glad hes doing well for you and wishing I'd picked him at the start instead of Mr. Butterfingers!
BennyD81 and Terras-FM: Welcome!
Willy Wonka: Congrats on another promotion. Back to back promotions is some feat. 550k is a bit more than somehow having money in the bank :P Even if you blow 20k/month (which I'm already doing in the BSS lol) you have enough for 2 full years of losses with no incoming coming in!
Re Billionaire thing: If I somehow become a billionaire, I'd do a IRL DFC Of course, it would take slightly longer than ours and I'd probably be a grumpy, ranting, old man before getting anywhere close to the Prem, but I'd love to try it! either way its a moot point however, as I don't see myself ever being a millionaire. Heck, I'd probably do it with a few million though!
Playoff place secured, with a game to go!
Questions of the day: Has anyone managed to sell a player yet? (apart from frees). If so, what is the biggest transfer fee you have been able to receive? Has anyone actually paid anything for a player yet?
As people are starting to climb the leagues I figure someone has to be doing some buying and selling by now. Is it easier/harder to move people that prior years?

Gypsum: well done. It's always nice to see other managers sign Saric. He was a legend for my 2010 game
Hm..... 5 games in and not 1 win yet.... Struggling badly :\ Plenty games to turn things round!!
So much for 4/5 star rated players, mr scout. Things dont appaer to be going fantastically, so I'm just hoping I can keep myself safe from relegation. At least it feels realistic, in that we are struggling and not rampaging our way to the top.
Hi - I'd like to participate with this challenge too.
I joined in with the FM10 challenge until my computer hard drive died

Everyone in the first team and reserve team released, brought a few to many players so I released a few but you can see my first team above. Omar koroma and fagan were basically the reason we went up scoring 30 and 20 goals respectively.
Good luck Regariol.
12 games in to the season and managed my first clean sheet. Pitty we couldnt score either, which is just teh fourth time we have failed to score.
@Mt Mckinlay, I feel sorry for Hampton there, with their goal difference the same as the team above.

Congratulations, Jordan. Great job on the scoreline too.
Just had my first ever fan day on FM. Apparently, it was a success after a pretty decent 2v2 draw with fellow promotionites, or relegation rivals, Histon.
@Darren. I got lucky on pens and seemed to have a similar story as you - I finished 19th first season before grabbing 4th, but thankfully, I got my penalties right unlike the opposition,
You might have a tuff season ahead, then. Good luck with it.
Leamington FC - End Jan Update 2011/12
After 26 games we are in 10th just 6 points off the playoff places but only 9 points above relegation so it still could go either way. We are also through to the 3rd rd of the FA Trophy where we have a tough away game at Kettering who are 2nd in the BSP
With a wage buget of just £3,600 I have managed to bring in 42 players ( I must be related to Barry Fry) & I still have £300 left to spend but only £29,000 left in the bank. This is my current 1st team squad & a lot of the other signings are youngsters who will probable never make it due to the abismal training facilitys & also due to the fact I cannot get any good coaches for the £65 per week my board allow me to offer. I did get Scott Hiley to agree to be my Ass man for £50 after many weeks of trying. It seems strange that the Ass man Budget was lower than for the coaches & scouts.
The team are now starting to play well after a poor start to the season with 4 red cards for my central defenders in the first 15 games. Also I do not think my players understand tactics as they seem to create more chances when I tell them to defend.
I have just been informed I won The January Manager of the Month Award for winning 4 out of 5 Games.
Last edited by Ridcully; 11-11-2010 at 22:36. Reason: Adding info
Second season is going pretty much the same way as the first. The performances seem much improved, we're having the better of most games but sometimes falling a bit short. Last season we were often outplayed but managed to scrape results.
I'm encouraged though. Hopefully with the way we're playing it will suddenly come together and we can start winning.
Sam Williams has come in and done fantastic. He's been immense for me on the past couple of versions of FM so when I saw him on the free players list I couldn't resist. Kieran Murtagh was amazing on my Nuneaton game last season also so I've brought him in and he is doing a fine job in the centre. Shame whoever I play alongside him in the middle seems to get injured. Luke Joyce has just done his cruciate ligaments.. at least 10 months out.
Finances are still falling rapidly, despite me cutting down on wages and now being nearly £1,000 a week under budget. Doesn't seem to be helping much though so I may splash out soon to try and make sure we get promoted this season. In time success will sort out the debt right?..

Hendon Dons 1st Half Report: 2013/14-League 2
Position: 1st(barely) Top 6 are within 6 points.
ooh 1st game manager has sympathy for me. First time the opening day manager wasn't a giant douche. neat.
Games I choose to comment on:
Game: 1 @Torquay
Phil Imray kicks it deep on a free kick, to be intercepted and driven deep into torquays half. A Torquay defender gathered it up only to be met by David Ball who took the ball and slotted it in easily for a 1-0 lead.
Chris Zebroski scores a header off a free kick(seriously annoying every goal is like off a free kick or corner or something ugh)
1-1 half.
Right off the start in the 2nd half David Ball crosses it into Nikola Saric who heads it in 2-1.
Sebastien Carole on for Jim Paterson in the 62nd.
Alan McCormack absolutely scorches one from 30 yards out to make it 3-1. Another assist for Ball, but what a finish.
Alan Navarro in for Marceo Rigters in the 71st.
A shot off the woodwork(Ball), and a superb save(on Saric) keep this score at 3-1 instead of 4-1 heavy pressure though.
It wasn't even a fair game.
57/43 pos.
17-6 shots
5-1 shots on goal.
yeah this team is good.
My board are a bunch of hardasses. ugh.
League cup 1st round at home against Colchester. Should lose since im playing mostly bench guys, since 3 games in 7 day span. lost 0-2 actually looked better but goalie stuffed us.
Johnstones Paint Trophy draw against L1 Barnet. At least it's at home.
Game #4: at home against Northampton
Finally a manager trash talking me. Says I won't be in league 2 next season. *cause i'll be in league 1???*
Bignall scores for northampton 14th minute. 0-1 ungh.
Nikola Saric scores on a rebound in the 42nd minute. 1-1
Bignall scores again to make it 1-2. right back kept him onside
Hasmet Taskin on for Alan Navarro in the 56th.
David Ball scores in the 68th minute off a nice assist by Saric. 2-2
William Ekong on for Pat Kanyuka in the 69th.
Sebastien Carole on for an injured Bradley Garston in the 78th minute(hope its not bad >_>)
Nikola Saric scores with no time left in extra time. IT'S CALLED OFF. OH BULL. TOTAL BULL. Whistle blown 2-2.
utter crap. was absolutely not close to offsides. uuuuuugh.
FA silent over criticism. blugh.
lost in JPT 0-1. whatever.
Game # 12 against Stockport who are currently in 2nd, while I am in 1st with equal records, my GD is +11 compared to +10.
David Ball scores his 13th goal of the season from a nice pass from Nikola Saric. 1-0
Jervis of Stockprot scores after my goalie rushed out and passed it right to him. ugh. 1-1. oh my bad he headed it to him with NOBODY AROUND. super ugh.
1-1 half
Sebastien Carole on for Bradley Garston in the 62nd minute.
Albert Owusu-Ansah on for Maceo Rigters in the 76th.
Walker for stockport scores in the 79th minute.
Westcarr scores for stockport in extra time. 3-1. well that sucked.
Hereford draw in the FA CUP- AWAY+ L2 TEAM WHEN THERE ARE A BILLION CRAPPY TEAMS. Draws hate me. won 2-1. woo
yahoo second round FA Cup draw at a BSP team. woo. gateshead are favorites????? lies and slander. won 5-1.
haha Harry Redknapp couldn't get England to the 2014 WC, and got fired (although he was retiring end of season)
4th round FA Cup draw against my favorite EPL(theyre in CH in the game )Stoke. AT Stoke also. grrr
Saric out 2-3 weeks. boo.
23 games left wee.
Bit disappointed finally lost after 11 games unbeaten streak (majority draws) to top of the table Salisbury wouldn't have minded as much if we didn't dominate the game.
Both their goals came from bad first touches by my midfielders, still sitting pretty in 9th place after 16 games
Comedy football - the winning goal away against Maidenhead was my left winger tackling the goalkeeper and tucking away in the goal!

Season 1 - 2012/13 Blue Square Premier
Preseason - Media Prediction: 24th
We Are Football League
Club Info
Into the Blue Square Premier, the board wanted me to attempt to avoid relegation, but I went for mid-table.
The Season
This season was not good, even if the end result was. 16 games in, and I was facing relegation. 20 games later, I'm 2nd in the league. It took 4 different approaches, and some major switches in players, but eventually we got there. Borini was unbelievable, and we broke a good few records, including a 23 match unbeaten run and a 10284 attendance. We also lost in the FA Trophy final to St. Albans, an unplayable team, but that's nothing...

I hope to keep him for years to come, and that he continues this. He scored 26 more goals than our next top scorer Dominic Knowles, which is a little worrying, but nevertheless...

FC United - Blue Square Bet North - 2011-2012
We made a bad start to the season by only picking up two points or so from our first five games, I guess this was because it was a total new team and I had to be patient in order to let them gel because we picked up after our first win and then won 11 games in all competitions in a row. The game that ended this run was a 3-0 defeat away to Sheff Wed in the FA Cup 1st Round. We looked very inconsistent from this defeat up until January where we really showed the league that we meant business and we showed how good of a squad we actually had. The players started to play well together and we climbed upto 1st to win the league on the last day of the season. The most vital win on the way to this was a 2-1 win away to Nuneaton who were 6 points clear at the time in March.
League Table
As you can see by the table, there was only a 3 point difference between us and Nuneaton, whom were promoted rightfully by the play-offs. They were at the top of the table for a long time but went on a sticky patch while we were in magnificent form and that was the difference between us and them. Gainsborough were also a team who had great form in the second half of the season and they also climbed into the play-off spots.
League Positions
As you can see from the graph we struggled in the first couple of games and were in the bottom three, but I kept faith in the team and I calmed my frustration down and continued to be patient and it paid off where we made a big climb up until christmas where we were a little in-consistent for a little while and as you can see at a vital time in the second half of the season we climbed up to the top 2 and then finally took top spot from Nuneaton.
We made a lot of transfers to say the least along with releasing a lot of players which was probably the best option for us.
Star Players
Ryan Brobbel - Was signed for cover of the centre midfield but impressed and earned a first-team place, and he was brilliant in the last couple of months, scoring a lot of vital goals for us.
Jacob Hronec - My assistant said in his team report that he felt we were weakest on the right-hand side of midfield where Hronec was playing but I disagreed with his views as he was fantastic for the majority of the season, like Brobbel he scored some vital goals but he was probably one of our most consistent players.
Aaron Pierre - This lad earned 11 league man of the match awards in 38 games which is a pretty good record for a CB I think. He scored a lot of goals for a defender and at one point was my top scorer at five goals in November, although that was all he scored for the season he stayed on great, although his morale was always generally quite low, even sometimes very poor when the rest were above okay.
I have already started pre-season for the 2012/2013 season and have made a couple of signings which have interested me so far. The pre-season aims are to polish the squad, there will be a lot of buying and selling players again, and I will be looking to bring some cash in off selling players while continuing the trend to just purchase players on a free. This should keep our finances stable enough. Also I have quite a few home friendlies to bring in some decent revenue and we should start the season in a great position financially wise and hopefully we will look great on the pitch as well.

Jordan, with Borini scoring that many, where do you have him playing on the pitch? Hes a ST obviously, but how many do you play with, is he played central, etc?
Finally broke out of a 7 game winless streak. Team just cant find a way to score goals. I have what I consider two quality forwards in Chris Fagan and Christian Montano so I dont know why I cant put more in. I'm thinking maybe because they are to close to the same type of player. Would a tall target man possibly help? What stats should I look for in one?
Just a quick update in my game with Leamington - I've just reached early December - 16 games into the league season, and I've found a bit of a strange problem I am having so far, and wandering if anyone else is?
The problem? Im really really bad at home! We are currently 11th in the table - and all this is due to our home record.
Away record P8 W5 D1 L2
Home record P8 W2 D1 L5
I just cant figure out what it is. I play Defensive away - and started the season with that at home. Then when a game came up I was slight favourites for I went Control and still lost! I have lost the last 3 home league games and all have been to teams near the bottom of the table. And yet in between that I went and won at top of the table Altrincham and was unlucky to lose away at Droylsden.
Any one got any ideas what it could be?
I do think we are overachieving in terms of the players we've got - I found it quite hard finding good players because of our low rep - but we must be doing something right away - and if we could replicate that at home we would be chasing promotion!
Okay, has anyone seen my script? It's this big thick book like object with the title "FC United lose heavily to recently relegated Torquay in the first League 2 game of the season"?
Because, we seem to have misplaced it and stumbled across a one titled "FC United 7 - 0 Torquay"...
*I shall have the video posted when it processes*
We did it. We actually did it. My team of complete no hopers have actually achieved the impossible, and it's the best FM feeling i've had in a long time. After having the most inconsistent season with the most, what appeared, unfit, booze swigging/coke taking players, they came from the mediocrity of mid table to produce an end of season run which would make Blackpool's start to the Premiership look almost shameful. It came down to Bath City in the final of the playoff, a team that had done us earlier on in the season quite convincingly, but the man who hadn't scored a goal in what seemed like centuries, Guiseppe Sole, done the supersub, and scored in extra time, which led to a quick pause so I can run around like an absolute lunatic, caught my breath, tactic screen, 7 at the back, and we quite literally parked the bus. Never have I been so proud. Thanks to a few notable signings (Martin Hardie, Lee Hendrie) to establish a decent old rearguard, and to get knocked out the cups early which helped us extremely, Tonbridge are moving up, with the most depressing budget, the most depressing wage budget, but with the happiest manager there could be. Angels Til I Die!!!

FC United - 2011/12
League Table - BSN - 10th
Top Scorer - Joe McKee - 13
Star Player - Julian Chérel - 7.16 rating and 10 goals as a CB
Overall I think the season went ok. I signed far too many players to begin with and then spent the whole season fiddling about with tactics to try and find something that could get us up the leagues over the next few years. Hopefully next season will bring promotion!

RORY FALLON! 80th minute goal to give us a 1-0 win over Championship Leicester in the League Cup 1st Round
So what if they had a goal disallowed
FC United - 2012/13 - Pre-Season
Media Prediction - 19th
I think we should easily be able to finish well above 19th this year. I'm confident of at least a playoff spot because I've managed to sign a couple of quality strikers and an amazing winger to supply the assists.
I didn't want to sign many players this year because of how many I took on last season and the fact we were leaking money throughout the year but I managed to find a few players who had left top premiership clubs and who had the quality to make promotion a real possibility for us so I grabbed them! Hopefully in my mid-season report I'll have something positive to tell you guys!
Wish Me Luck!
I'm gonna be stuburn and not let this one fizzle out! i will get a champs league if its the last thing i ever do on this game!!
So who has done the best so far? Could someone compile a list?

Well, these are my first panoramas using NN5..
(sorry for the langguage, it's in Bahasa Indonesia, just disregard it)
There are 2 panos in that link.
First one was at Ayodia park. That was the very first time I use NN5. The result was a total disaster... I used Canon 400D + EF 17-40mm f/4 L for this VR.
The last one was at my office during weekend. Although the result is way better than the first one, but there are still some stitching errors at the Zenith and also Nadir.
For this one, I used Canon 500D + Tokina 12-24mm @ f/11. Fewer shots needed than using 17-40mm
I also tried making panoramas using Canon Fisheye lens EF 15mm f/2.8. My NN5 settings for this camera & lens combination are: 49mm (lower rail) & 81mm (upper rail). Please CMIIW... Below are the panoramas
This panoramas is not full spherical though, due to i didnt have a the chance to shoot the tilt down series... And also, i made a mistake by using auto focus, therefore you migh see blurry images on some (many actually) part of the panorama.
This one probabbly better than the previous one. but there are some ghosting visible due to poeple movements. I wonder, does using alpha channel to exclude some part of the person in the image might result in a better stitching result? i mean the ghosting would be eliminated?
Learning from the previous panorama, this time i use hyperfocal focusing & shoot at f8
Now this one i think is better than all of the panorama above......but still, exposure differences at the Nadir is still visible.....
So...thats all about it for now...i'am expecting some straight forward critics on my panorama, and hopefully i can improve my panos... Thanks in advance...
During my first experience, i found out that EZ-Leveler is a very CRUCIAL thing. Kinda regret not buying it with the NN5 in the first place......but will do soon...
Also, i'm thinking of buying either tokina 10-17, sigma 8mm f/3.5, or Nikkor 10.5mm for my Canon 400D.........
Many thanks to John hougton for his tutorial on Viewpoint Correction to patch the Nadir.....i'am not as good as the tutor though...but will do improve..

Tummy Time
- 5 to 10 minutes
- None
Playing from the tummy position allows for a different view of the world. Although it is recommended that babies sleep on their backs as a precaution against SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), your baby can still benefit from exercise in the tummy position while awake. Lay your baby on his tummy and get down on that level, making faces and noises to encourage raising his head, which strengthens the neck and upper body muscles.
- Lay out some brightly colored toys so your baby can see them from this position.
- Get your baby's attention with any object and move it back and forth slowly so it is tracked with the eyes.
- Roll your baby to his side and then gently back to the tummy, saying, "Wheeeeeeee."
- Stand directly over your baby at your full height, and then move slowly down to a squatting position so you are very close.

As many of you know, I appear in several other places on the web outside of this blog. One of these areas is a relatively new community called Marathon Nation (www.marathonnation.us).
This is an online community for everyday runners lookingto have breakthrough performances without injury, sacrifice and ridiculous training protocols. We're crazy about running, but we aren't crazy runners. Get it?
Anyway, we just published our first free eBook, 29 Tips to Transform Your Run (more here). It contains over 50 pages of insight and guidance on a variety of different ways you can improve your running. Some tips are fitness-oriented, other pointers are motivational; one or two might be downright controversial…but they have all helped at some time, in some way.
If you or someone you know are looking to become a better runner, please download and read a copy of this FREE eBook. Even if just one of the tips helps, it could mean the difference between an average season and something much more. And besides, it's free.
If you have feedback or tips of your own, please find me online over on the Official Facebook Page of Marathon Nation.

The Skyhawks couldn�t get anywhere close to the �Lopes on the links.
Tournament host Grand Canyon won the GCU Thunderbird Invitational by more than 20 points, shooting a 2-over 866 at the Wigwam Golf Resort�s par-72 Gold Course on Sunday and Monday in Phoenix.
The Fort Lewis College men�s golf team finished 11th out of 16 teams with a 926, led by junior Bryan Schlichter�s 225 (73-77-75). His 9-over-par was good for 17th overall.
�We just kind of had a rough time,� FLC head coach Bud Andersen said. �I think still a little rusty, and that kind of showed.�
FLC senior Charlie Laudermilk finished 46th with a 232, sophomore Zach Bryant took 53rd (235), redshirt freshman Dillon Washburn was 56th (236), and junior Clark Riedberger rounded out the Skyhawks� field in 77th (250).
�Putting. We gave a lot of shots away putting. The whole team, especially Charlie,� said Anderson, adding that Laudermilk played better than his scores showed. He had one bad hole each round and couldn�t make up for it on the green, Andersen said.
Jimmy Kozikowski was the medalist for Grand Canyon, winning by eight strokes. He finished with a 7-under-par (209).
UC-San Diego took second place with an 888, Central Oklahoma third with 889, Dixie State fourth with 890, and Western New Mexico was fifth with 900.
The Skyhawks will take a week off before hosting the Dr. Troy Bledsoe Skyhawk Classic Club Shootout at the Classic Club on April 8-9 in Palm Desert, Calif.
�It�s crunch time now, and they know it, so they�ve got to get their butts in gear here the next couple of weeks,� Andersen said.

Would it be permissible to give a Mezuzah to a non-Jew if he is honorable and can reasonably be trusted to treat it with great care such as a dignitary or a collector of cultural artifacts?

Oholei Shem Siman 59 says that it is not proper to give a Mezuza to a non-Jew to place on his door, per the the Maharil, Kneses HaGedola, and Rishon L'Tziyon.
However the Sheyilas Yaavetz Chelek 2 Siman 121 seems to say that if the non-Jew will respect it properly then you may give it to him to put on his door.
The Igros Moshe Chelek 5 Yorah Deah 2 Siman 141 seems to diffrentiate between giving it to a non-Jew who will put it on his door and giving it to a non-Jew plain. By a door he holds it may be more stringent, since perhaps he will have a robbery and then he will be upset and throw the Mezuza in the garbage and therefore it would not be permitted, however to give it to a non-Jew who will take care of it properly and is not placing it on his door there it would be perhaps permitted.
To give an example from the "mimetic," rather than "text-based," world, President Chaim Weitzman famously presented a Sefer Torah to President Harry Truman. (Follow the link--there's a picture of the two of them posing with the Torah!)
The Torah Scroll is on display, in the Aron Kodesh which was also part of the gift, in the Truman Library in Independence, MO.
The Jewish History Blog says "When Truman saw it, he said, 'I always wanted one of those.'"
Rabbi Berel Wein, who wrote that blog post, adds that "Weizmann presented Truman with the traditional gift Jews give to heads of state: a Torah scroll." Rabbi Wein is Orthodox, and presumably the traditional Jews were traditional.

BELTON (November 14, 2012)—Trial is set to begin Wednesday morning for a former Killeen police officer who is charged with sexual assault of a child.
Kirt Yarbrough, a 16-year-veteran of the department, was arrested in January and charged with sexual assault in connection with what authorities described as an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old member of the Killeen Police Department's Explorer Scout Program.
Tral is set to begin at 9 a.m. in Judge Fancy Jezek's 426 State District Court.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys selected a jury earlier in the week and opening arguments are set today.
Yarbrough was fired through an indefinite suspension after an internal investigation that found that he violated several department policies including having an improper relationship with the participant in the Explorer program and untruthfulness, police said Monday.
The firing comes less than two weeks after the Bell County Grand Jury indicted Yarbrough for sexual assault.
Yarbrough, also is facing an aggravated sexual assault charge in Coryell County stemming from an incident involving the same girl in Copperas Cove.
The Boy Scouts of American created the Explorer program in 1949, consolidating several programs designed for senior scouts.
By the mid-60s, the focus of the program was more toward careers.
Exploring was replaced by Venturing in 1998.

How do I drag and drop an object from one grid to another in the same page using Selenium IDE. This is a web page, and it is designed in ExtJS. Please help me out doing this using the IDE.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
In Selenium IDE there are 2 main drag and drop commands;
(1) dragAndDrop - Locates the target element and drags the element by x pixels horizontally and y pixels vertically.
In the IDE this should look like;
Command - dragAndDrop
(2) dragAndDropToObject - Locates the target element and drags the element to the centre pixel location of the destination element
In the IDE this should look like;
Command - dragAndDropToObject
The other drag and drop commands impose the -AndWait suffix, so assume that in response to the drag and drop done a request is sent and selenium should wait for the page to reload.
Our pages are programmed with extJS too and I managed to drag and drop elements with the following steps:
But for me it is just possible if the element is visible at loading of the element. When I have to scroll to the element to get it visible, I did not find a way to drag 'n drop it.
The functions (APIs) available in selenium for drag and drop do not work properly. So my suggestion for the drag and drop, can be resolved by the below code:
Please try and let us post your observation.
For "dragAndDropToObject":
If you want to drag "A" and drop to Location of "B"
Command: dragAndDropToObject Target: enter the Xpath or CSS path of A value: enter the Xpath or CSS path of B
Hope it helps.

Following a decade of work from the birth of an idea to a finished spacecraft, NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or MAVEN, mission to Mars being led by the University of Colorado Boulder has arrived in Florida for a slated November launch.
"We are now on the final journey to the launch pad," said CU-Boulder Professor Bruce Jakosky of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, principal investigator for the project. "It doesn't get more exciting than that."
The spacecraft was shipped aboard a U.S. Air Force cargo plane from Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colo., to the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Fla. late last week. Lockheed Martin had previously assembled and tested MAVEN in its Littleton, Colo. facility.
The mission will be the first devoted to understanding the Martian atmosphere, targeting the role that the loss of atmospheric gases to space played in changing the climate through time, explained Jakosky, also a professor in CU-Boulder's geological sciences department.
CU-Boulder has a big role in the mission that includes providing science operations, science instruments and leading the education and public outreach program. The MAVEN science team includes three LASP scientists heading instrument teams -- Nick Schneider, Frank Eparvier and Robert Ergun -- as well as a supporting team of scientists, engineers, mission operations specialists and students.
After final testing and fueling, MAVEN will move to Launch Complex 41 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. A United Launch Alliance V-401 rocket will launch the Mars orbiter on its interplanetary trajectory.
The Martian surface, including features resembling dry lakes and riverbeds as well as minerals that form only in the presence of water, suggest Mars once had a much denser atmosphere that supported liquid water on the surface, said Jakosky. "We think that Mars was probably much more Earth-like roughly 4 billion years ago. We want to know how the climate changed, where the water went and what happened to the atmosphere."
One of the hallmarks of LASP is the involvement of students in every aspect of its space missions, including MAVEN, said Jakosky. "At LASP we have about 120 students working on different aspects of flight projects ranging from engineering and spacecraft operations to data management and science analysis," he said. "When these students graduate, they find themselves very much in demand around the country because they have tremendous experience."
In addition to the Colorado contributions to the mission, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., is managing the project and provided two of the science instruments for the mission. The University of California, Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory provided a science instrument package for MAVEN and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., is providing navigation support, the Deep Space Network and the other relay hardware and operations.

I'm looking for a word akin to 'cismontane' that refers to oceans or seas. Does this exist?

Cis- is a particle like trans-, so you can use it to construct words with some confidence that readers will understand (or be able to work out) what you mean. Not much confidence in this case, since cis- is uncommon in normal English. That said, you could try
(I am part of a small but easily amused group who would understand cispondial as meaning "on this side of the Atlantic" :-)
Keying off of Rhodri's excellent answer, I remembered the word transatlantic:
Typing in cisatlantic shocked me because my spellchecker claimed it was a word. So I looked it up:
Oddly, there is transpacific but no cispacific in the same dictionary. But, in the case of talking between Europe and America, you can safely use cisatlantic.
I don't think such a single word for this, but there are alternative phrases:
That should indicate pretty much that it is the native shores of the speaker or author.

A hiking 'buddy' to best prep for long trek
|Mt. Rainier as viewed through Fat Stanley from Eagle Peak. News Tribune Adventure writer Craig Hill's new hiking partner, Fat Stanley, traveled with him on several day hikes last summer as he trained for the Wonderland Trail. Fat Stanley consists of two 7.5-pound weight plates, a few of the 10 essentials and traveled in Hill's pack along with a couple gallons of water. The extra weight in Hill's pack helped prepare him for the 93-mile hike around Mount Rainier that climbs (and descends) more than 22,000 vertical feet. Only Fat Stanley's lighter parts made the Wonderland trip. (Craig Hill/Tacoma News Tribune/MCT)
Load up your pack and start hiking.
As we prepared last summer for our weeklong loop around Mount Rainier, that was essentially my entire training program.
I loaded my daypack with a couple of gallons of water and my new hiking partner, 15 pounds of weight plates that I named Fat Stanley. Then I set out to bag uphill trails, taking pictures of Fat Stanley every time I reached the top.
News Tribune editor Matt Misterek took a similar approach, hauling a sack of grout on his hikes.
At 53, photographer Drew Perine was the oldest in the group, but he also has the physique of a teenage athlete thanks to a five-day-a-week weightlifting and tennis workout routine. While he didn't train on the trail, his routine prepared him well enough.
Thad Richardson also didn't train much on the trail. But as a firefighter used to climbing stairs and ladders in bunker gear, we figured not only would he be ready, but he could carry our packs if we got tired.
While it's obvious that hiking with a loaded pack is the best way to train for hiking with a loaded pack, there's even more you can do to make sure you are up for the Wonderland challenge.
Colver trains people for outdoor adventures such as climbing Mount Rainier. His book "Fit by Nature" (The Mountaineers Books, $24.95) was published in 2011 and his self-published "Fit to Climb," a guidebook for training for Rainier, is due out next month.
Colver, a former guide for Ashford-based Rainier Mountaineering Inc., has developed a three-pronged training approach that frequently yields success.
1. Take a long hike once per week. "This hike should get progressively longer until you get used to walking the distances you will be going on your trip," Colver said.
2. Find a nearby hill or set of stairs you can visit twice each week. "Use this for more intense training, like sprints and intervals," Colver said.
3. Spend two days per week cross-training. He recommends an activity such as a circuit class at your local gym. These classes can help build strength in areas some people often neglect when training for a trip like the Wonderland Trail.
Back, shoulders and core strength are vital to avoiding injury and staying strong for a 93-mile hike with 22,000 feet of vertical. Especially when you're hauling a 35- to 50-pound pack.
"A lot of people I see have done something challenging like climbing a mountain when they were in their 20s, but now they are 40," Colver said. "A lot are executives or doctors who are in a more corporate or institutional setting and they lack core strength.
"We want them to get on that right away."
Colver says when people start carrying a backpack, he frequently hears complaints about pain or tightness in their backs, abdominals and, especially, their shoulders.
Take extra time each week to strengthen these areas by hauling a pack and cross-training and you can quickly resolve this problem and make the trip more enjoyable.
"I've never seen this written anywhere," Colver said, "but so much is made about getting the right pack. There's so many ideas about what you need. But, ultimately, what you need is a strong back. If your back is strong, you can carry almost any pack."

At a previous job (a phone manufacturer) they used a similar tool to Odin to replace the bootloader, sometimes with one that didn't require the ROMs to be signed. Access to a tool like that makes a lot of problems go away.

In Matthew 5:17, Jesus says he didn't come to abolish the law or Prophets but to fulfill them. What does it mean to "fulfill the law"?

Some possible meanings:
What it means for Jesus to 'fulfill the law' in Matthew 5:17 is what it means in context, nothing more nothing less. I will argue that Matthew is looking forward to the rest of chapter 5 where he expands and explains what he begins to talk about in 5:17:
Matthew 5:17-20 begins a section that ends with the final verse of chapter 5:
Crucial for understanding this section is understanding the contrast that Jesus introduces in verse 20 concerning righteousness and the scribes and Pharisees (highlighted above). What is this contrast? First we need to be clear what it is not: Both Jesus and the pharisees insist that the law is utterly sacred. "not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law" leaves no room for doubt that Jesus has no intention of subverting the law and it's commands. It goes without saying that the scribes and Pharisees essentially shared this view.
The actual contrast is not in the letter of the law, but in the spirit and interpretation of the law. This is evident in each of the examples Jesus gives:
The initially shocking demand that entry into the kingdom of heaven is dependent on a righteousness that "exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees" has been explained. Jesus is not commanding righteousness that is 'more perfect' than that of the religious folk of his time, but an entirely different interpretation of what righteousness actually is. The law, correctly interpreted and obeyed, makes a person look like God, and not at all like a Pharisee:
To fulfill the law is to interpret it correctly: as concerning the heart; and obey2 it as it was intended to be obeyed: from the heart. Jesus' claim is that he himself does this perfectly.
1 "perfect" here can also carry the sense of 'complete', or 'fulfilled' which makes considerable sense in this context
2 After correcting the interpretation of the law, Jesus naturally goes on to speak about forgiveness. It is necessary to understand the difference between good and evil in order to be forgiven
To Fulfill
To fulfill the law means to complete it in every aspect. The Greek word is πληρῶσαι (lexical form πληρόω). Τελειόω is a synonym; it has a sense of bringing something to completeness in its end, in its finality. Πληρόω has the sense of to complete something in fullness. And this sense indeed applies to Jesus' fulfillment of the law: it was not a meager point-by-point legalistic accomplishment. It was a perfect, full, absolute, complete accomplishment.
The Law
This fullness of completeness is due to the fundamental nature of the law. Let's stay in the book of Matthew. If we are to talk about what law Jesus fulfilled, we must go to the passage in which he himself expresses what the law is.
In its most fundamental aspect, then, Jesus' keeping of the law was his perfect, passionate, perpetual love of the Father, and his gracious, humble, compassionate love to sinners. This is certainly played out in a detailed way, as expressed in Galactic Cowboy's answer, but let us not loose sight of the fact that everything Jesus did was out of love for the Father.
Consider Matt 3:15 regarding Jesus's baptism:
But in no sense was Jesus lacking in righteousness. Instead, he was illustrating righteousness, what his followers should do.
Again, consider Mat 2:15
This quotation from Hosea is NOT a prophecy but a reference to a past event, the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt. However, this is better understood as Israel's exodus illustrates Jesus's exodus, not that a prophecy was fulfilled.
If we takes this same sense of illustration into the passage at hand, written by the same author, we have (Mat 5:17)
Jesus illustrates the Law by doing as the real Law requires, in contrast to how many Pharisees were living.strong text
As a side note: You won't see this illustration sense translated, as the historical weight of using the word to indicate fulfillment of prophecy is too great. The prophetic apologetic for Jesus as the Messiah is weakened if the reference to Hosea 2 (out of Egypt) were changed. Unfortunately critics at rationalwiki and others have uncovered this "errant prophecy". The prophecy is not in error, only it is translated erroneously as a prophecy. But once we see Jesus as illustrating prophecy, then it is clear how he also illustrates the law. (To clarify, one can believe in the divinity of Jesus without believing the out of egypt quotation was a fulfilled prophecy.)
I would propose that it means what it says, at face value. Consider the context.
Matthew 5:17-20 are the key passage. The opening verse is the poster's question, and we read on to find the intent.
From the get go, the obvious interpretation of this is the Law of Moses (and prophets). This is the case for the entire passage. We are specifically talking about the Mosaic Law. It is said that this law, the Mosaic Law, will not disappear until all is accomplished.
v19 continues this, with this addition--how one keeps the Law of Moses will determine your status (reward) in heaven. v20 then goes on and says that the old level of righteousness was not enough.
Things to Consider
In the first place, we must determine if everything is "accomplished". You could take a crucifixion or a 70 AD perspective on this, but that does not appear to be in view. Particularly, v19 establishes that it is this law of Moses that determines ones place in heaven, by some means. Additionally, the correlation between the rest of the chapter and and the Law is to be noted, so that even if the Law has passed, it would not matter, since the standard of holiness is greater, besides.
From these, it would seem that the "accomplished" that Jesus is referring to points more likely to the end of the world, and not some already past event.
Second, if we do conclude that the Law has not passed away (keeping in mind the Romans 7 argument--I died to the law to end my marriage to it), we see that Jesus' stipulations are not the Legal code, but appear to represent the heart behind it.
Jesus could not add to the law (Deuteronomy 12:32), so what He is not doing is making the law 'unkeepable'. I believe He was explaining the true intent behind the Law, but the law could only restrain outward behavior, Jesus expressed the Kingdom intent, which was the heart.
Onward to an Answer
So, what if we took Jesus at simply a face-value reading of this text? Where would that leave us?
Particularly, Jesus is saying, He is come both to fulfill the law perfectly Himself, obviously, but more than that, He is come to see the law fulfilled in each one of us, effectively.
But, does this square with the rest of the New Testament?
Consider, no one was keeping the law already. No one was good (Romans 12:3). What Jesus came to do was to see the original Law of Moses, in the original spirit of the law, fulfilled.
But, Galatians 5:16 says that if we live by the Spirit, we will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. Thus, by this way, Jesus fulfills the law two-fold in us.
But, how He enables us to keep the law needs a little more attention. The Law was written by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16). To live by the Spirit, who is God, is to live in love, which God is. Thus, to live by the Spirit is to live by the law of Love which God is perfectly. But, to live by love, loving God and one's neighbor, one fulfills the very thing upon which the whole of the Law and the Prophets hang.
Hence, if we live by the Spirit, we live in love, and the Holy Spirit does not contradict Himself. Living by the Spirit, we will find ourselves obeying perfectly the "spirit of the Law of Moses", as it was originally meant to be lived, without ever looking at the Law itself.
In the end, what follows after v20 is then the natural progression. We will no longer focus on the outward acts of murder, but we will look at the anger and hostility of the heart. This is the progression of Paul in Colossians 2-3.
You actually never get there by "looking" at the Law, but you end up fulfilling it all the same.
Thus, it appears Jesus meant what it seems like He did--He didn't abolish it (and it isn't), but He has both fulfilled it through us to establish our righteousness as well as living His life through us by His Spirit to work out His Righteousness.
As Jesus said at the end of the passage in Matthew 7:21-23, calling Him Lord is not enough--it requires a life. Granted, for the true believer, this flows from the life of faith and not as a matter of performance, but it is required nevertheless (faith without this is dead).
What Christ could be conceived of as as saying is something like...
The law of Msoses, which is hung upon the great commands of Love, is fulfilled in us only when we live in Christ, and by His Spirit.
"Matthew's" use of πληρόω was translated by the KJV folks as "fulfill" which causes a lot of confusion. One of the glosses the m-w.com provides for "fulfill" is: "to develop the full potentialities of" which I think touches on what Matthew intended. He uses it as the opposite of "denigrate" or "compromise" or "cheapen":
In fact it says:
It is kindred to "complete".
Given the context, Jesus is contrasting the way the scribes and pharisees would allegedly parse the Torah into "do this but don't worry about that" and "this is necessary but this is not" and how Jesus insists that the whole of the Torah was to be obeyed fully.
Firstly, what is the law, and what is its purpose?
The law is a manifestation of the perfect holiness of God, and was given to us (humanity) to show how utterly unable we are to meet God's standard by our own means, strength or works (Romans 7:7). It shows us our sinfulness as a contrast to God's holiness. Old Testament saints who were called righteous relied upon the grace of God for their right standing with God, not their success at keeping the law.
When Jesus is said to have fulfilled the law, it means that He perfectly kept the law of God, and never sinned (1 Peter 2:22). This was therefore a manifestation of and testimony to His deity. Obviously something no other man could possibly do.
He didn't come to abolish the law means that the law remains the law and is (still) perfect (Romans 7:12). Even after we enter the New Pact in Jesus' blood (Mark 14:24), which places believers under grace not under law (Romans 6:15), therefore in a sense abolishing the law for believers, the law remains as a testament of God's holiness and our inability to meet His standard. Something that remains true even after conversion (Romans 7:19).
So, to answer your question:
A good way to understand this is to compare it to the difference between cancelling ("forgiving") a debt, and paying the debt. In one, payment is made which fulfills the obligations of the debt, and in the other payment is withheld and the obligations of the debt are not met. This is an important point because it shows that God's justice is not violated in dispensing mercy and forgiveness to believers. God remains just while at the same time able to show mercy to sinners. Something that is present in no other belief system outside of biblical christianity.
Jesus fulfilled the law, He didn't simply abolish it.
This is based one history and the actual scriptures, so keep an open mind.
The Greek word behind "fulfilled" does mean something that has been filled up to the highest degree. Every year the lamb without spot and blemish was offered on the preparation day of the Passover. Christianity teaches that it was impossible for the blood of animals to wash away the sins of humans and this was instead fulfilled in Jesus's death and resurrection.
Paul claims that 1 Cor. 15 is based on an actual historical event:
All the new testament writings conformed to this basic framework. Paul says the "Anointed One" was man's Passover, and people are unleavened in him because he has been sacrificed for us. And that he was raised up as the first fruits. Paul says he thus fulfilled the whole feast of Unleavened Bread.
We learn from Luke 24:21 where the Greek text literally say that the third day is "from" the day of the Passover offering. That is in accordance with the law that says the first day of unleavened bread starts the day after the Passover sacrifice and the removal of unleavened bread. Hence the days Jesus spent in the tomb and the days of Unleavened Bread is in full agreement. And he was therefore raised the third day of Unleavened Bread. The first fruits has to be reaped during the days of unleavened bread according to law.
So he was offered on the preparation day of the Passover, was entombed before the next day, and remained in tomb until the third day and was resurrected as the first fruits. That's how this is summed up in Christian scripture. He did not only come to fulfill the Prophets and Psalms, but also the Law until the last detail.
This wil not be the most popular answer, but it is purely based on the gospels which are based on historic events, which are according to the gospels and the testimony of the original witnesses.
Jesus fulfills the prophecies which are hidden in the law.
The law says a clean animal is one which ruminates (meditates on the word) and that meditation produces a separated (holy) walk.
Jesus fulfills the prophecy contained in the law of the leper. His Father forsook him (shaved head), his prayer (remove this cup) was not answered (covered lip). He bore our sin completely (leper covered completely with sin) and became our high priest (ceremony of cleansing like the one for priests).
He fulfills the law of murdering by killing without becoming culpable of murder by laying down his own life in love for us.
He fulfills all the law of sacrifices since they are all types of his sacrifice.
He fulfills the law of lying by lying without becoming culpable of sin by speaking in parables.
He 'does not honor his parents' when he was twelve without sinning by 'being about His Father's business'.
He comes as the thief in the night.
All the law has a shadow which is fulfilled in Christ.

here's the "..." part (lousy character limit):
Anyway, this month's special coupon gets you $5.00 off, valid across all Woot Properties except deals.woot and local.woot. It's a single use coupon, and no stacking, and it's good through Dec 15, 2012. That means you can't use it on Dec 16, but you're smart enough to know that, aren't you? Just like you're smart enough to know what the coupon code is! Oh, the wisdom of the Double Cockatrician knows no bounds in the Grand Assembly Room! But, um, maybe help out the new guys if they can't figure it out, okay? Like, on the forums?

@inkycatz: "I do what I can with the resources I'm given." And you do a very good job w/those resources. Thank you again!
Suggestion to @jumbowoot: Please consider giving @inkycatz more resources (i.e. coupons). :-D She handles her current resources w/aplomb, generosity and deep thoughfulness. TIA

103 Years in Orthodox Case
A prominent ultra-Orthodox Jewish counselor was sentenced on Tuesday to 103 years in prison for repeatedly sexually abusing a young girl from an insular Brooklyn community that has long been accused of stifling such prosecutions.
Nechemya Weberman, 54 years old, who was found guilty in December of 59 counts of sexually abusing the girl over the course of three years beginning when she was 12, maintained his innocence at the sentencing and plans to appeal the verdict and prison term.
Speaking before a packed courtroom, the victim, now 18, choked up several times as she asked Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice John Ingram to sentence Mr. Weberman to a maximum sentence of 117 years.
The victim, who has faced intimidation and briefly moved out of the community after the verdict, told the judge she was "a sad girl who so badly wished she could have lived a normal young teenage life but instead was stuck being victimized by a 50-year-old man."
"I saw a girl who had no reason to live," she said. "I would cry until my tears ran dry."
She said she hoped her coming forward "sets a precedent" and would give strength to other victims in the community.
Prosecutors said they knew of other victims, including adult women, but at this point didn't expect to bring any of their cases to trial.
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said his office asked for the maximum prison term knowing that the sentence would likely be reduced to 50 years on appeal, which is typical in such cases.
The trial put a sharp focus on Williamsburg's Satmar Hasidic community, where going to secular authorities is discouraged, and was heralded by prosecutors as a turning point for sexual abuse victims in Brooklyn's tight-knit Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods.
"To read how she suffered years of sexual torture with no hope and then was able to find the strength and courage to come forward is truly remarkable," Mr. Hynes said afterward.
"In this case, we were up against this wall of obstruction, this veil of secrecy, that we could not penetrate. And while we brought cases, inevitably the victim would be identified and the harassment would begin. It was just horrific," he said.
Responding to prosecutors' claims that Mr. Weberman wasn't remorseful, defense attorney George Farkas told the judge his client won't show "mercy" because he is innocent.
"Mr. Weberman maintains his innocence and stands ready to be vindicated," the lawyer told the judge.
Mr. Weberman didn't address the judge before being sentenced, simply saying "no thanks" when given the opportunity. He opened and closed his eyes a few times, but largely sat expressionless as the judge handed down his sentence,
As he was led away in handcuffs, Mr. Weberman looked toward his family and supporters, smiled and nodded. A few smiled and waved back.
The case came to light in 2011 when the victim told a school counselor of the abuse. Despite bribes and intimidation aimed at getting her to drop the case, the teenager chose to testify, including 15 hours of cross-examination over four days.
The two-week trial pitted the testimony of the victim against that of Mr. Weberman, who took the stand in his own defense.
Prosecutors portrayed Mr. Weberman as an unlicensed counselor who used his position in the community to gain access to young women deemed problems for violating the community's modesty rules.
The victim testified that she was first taken to see Mr. Weberman in 2007 after she was caught text-messaging a boy, wearing skirts that weren't long enough and otherwise being singled out at her school. She said he abused her at every session.
On the stand, Mr. Weberman said he "never ever" abused her.
In the end, Judge Ingram said, "the jury fully credited her testimony and disbelieved the defendant."
"This message should go out to all victims of sexual abuse," he said, before handing down his sentence. "Your cries will be heard. Justice will be done. You should report."

Remarks by H.E. Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir
Ambassador of the Kingdom to Saudi Arabia to the U.S.
At the reception for Religions for Peace
To Advance Multi-Religious Cooperation
Saudi Arabian Embassy
Washington, DC
Thursday, October 7, 2010
In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and all Prophets and Messengers.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to welcome you to the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia. It is a great honor for us to be hosting this gathering tonight in a spirit of dialogue and religious tolerance. Ahlan wa sahlan (welcome) to our embassy.
At the outset, I would like to convey the greetings of The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, who has been instrumental in launching a global interfaith initiative. The initiative began with a conference in Makkah among Muslim scholars in June of 2008 and continued with the Madrid Conference in July of 2008, which brought together representatives of the world's major religions and cultures. It culminated in the United Nations High Level Meeting of November of 2008, which brought together an unprecedented gathering of heads of states and representatives from throughout the world. Virtually every faith and culture was represented, to emphasize and reinforce the importance of adhering to the universal values that all religions, faiths and cultures share. Since the meeting at the United Nations, there have been a number of conferences and gatherings held in Europe and other places, and a secretariat is being established to make this endeavor permanent. The secretariat will have representatives from the major faiths and religions and its objective is to continue to facilitate the coming together of different religions, cultures and faiths to reinforce the universal message that our creator handed down to us through the various Prophets, Messengers and messages.
I would like to thank Dr. Vendley, Secretary General of Religions for Peace, and Reverend Heckman, for helping make our event this evening possible.
|Ambassador Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir with Nunciature to the US Archbishop Pietro Sambi.
As the world's largest multi-religious organization, Religions for Peace has brought together broad groups of people for a common cause. Your mission is in accord with that of The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz—to promote religious tolerance and understanding by focusing on the universal values enshrined in all faiths. It is only by acknowledging and emphasizing our common values that we can make our world a better and more peaceful place.
Co-existence and understanding are central pillars in Islam. I would like to quote the following from the Holy Qur'an:
O mankind! We have created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other. Verily, the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you.
As the birthplace of Islam and home to Islam's Two Holy Mosques, Saudi Arabia's government and society are inextricably linked with our religion. Our faith guides our legal system and shapes our culture. It sustains us and gives us strength and character as a nation and as a people.
There is much misunderstanding about Islam in the world today. This is a result of deviants who seek to pervert our faith. Unfortunately, terrorists and extremists have committed or justified criminal acts in the name of all religions. We believe that it is through the emphasis of the universal values enshrined in all faiths – the values of compassion, tolerance, love, mercy, and charity – that we can confront intolerance, bigotry and hatred and contribute to bringing humanity together.
Terrorists and extremists seek to exploit our differences; we must emphasis our common values.
We must reach out and understand each other. We must acknowledge that we all share the same concerns –the breakdown of values, materialism, the disintegration of the family, crime and drug abuse, and a tendency on the part of some to divide rather than unite. And we must use what is most sacred to us – our respective faiths – to bring us together.
In his speech before the World Conference on Dialogue held in Madrid in July of 2008, The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz made the following important point:
We all believe in one God, who sent messengers for the good of humanity in this world and the hereafter. His will, praise be to Him, was that people should differ in their faiths. If the Almighty had so desired, all mankind would have shared the same religion.
By adhering to the noble principles enshrined in faith, we can overcome adversity and establish peace and justice; we can build bridges of understanding and drown the voices of intolerance.
May God Almighty grant us success as we carry our work beyond these walls.
Thank you and peace be upon you.

Luucaz | 08-12-2006, 02.33 Betatesting news and msgboard
Heya ;). We're not done at all, but this newspage and the messageboard it rides on seem to work, somewhat. You're invited to betatest, comment and start using it in general, if you want. We'll start using it for real in next days.
Edit: sorry, for some reason the msgboard is NOT sending out mail, so while you can register, you probably won't receive any password, and not be able to log in. We're looking into reasons (we tested it, used to work), maybe due to some recent server changes.
