text: Arrogance & Dishonesty of DuPont Leaders Costs DD Shareholders $1 Billion!BREAKING NEWSGood Evening, Bonsoir, Guten Abend, Buona Sera,Investors, for years we have warned that the corrupt culture of dishonesty and dirty play ingrained in DuPont Senior Management would redound to the detriment of the owners of this Company. It happened again today.A jury after a lengthy trial assessing the credibility of DuPont executives and their lawyers has awarded Monsanto $1 billion for willfully stealing Monsanto's superior Roundup technology to put into Pioneer's otherwise inferior seeds.David Snively, Monsanto's Executive Vice President and General Counsel in a public statement, has this to say."This verdict also underscores that DuPont's unauthorized use of the Roundup Ready technology was both deliberate and aimed at rescuing its own failed technology.""The materials uncovered from DuPont files during this case highlight that DuPont's senior leaders were actively working to hide the fact their OGAT technology had failed and were using elaborate schemes to cover that up with the unlicensed use of our technology."Snively added. "They knew the OGAT technology didn't work for years, but opted to tell a much different story to their customers and to Wall Street. It is deeply disappointing that repeated requests to DuPont's leadership and board to investigate their own internal actions were not addressed and corrected, which ultimately required the matter go to trial."In their sterile biosphere in the dwarf state of Delaware, these doltish, integrity-deficient DuPont leaders simply don't get it. Their business model of CHEAT-to-COMPETE ultimately leads to failure and massive losses.Imprelis Consumre Fraud, $490 million & countingInvista Settlement, $165 million.Willful Monsanto Patent Infringement, $1 billion.[TO BE CONTINUED]Merely, of course, the remarks and opinion of one individual MON, SYT, & DD shareholder, and long-time student of the undeniably corrupt DuPont chemical conglomerate.funfundvierzig...funfun..

Wonderful - I wish I'd known about it before
I stayed here en passant on the way back towards the Calais crossing.
I was tired and pretty fed up when I arrived after a long and difficult car journey but the peace and quiet of the place soon made me feel better. The English owner, the male half of a couple, showed me round and made me feel at home instantly. The place is an old building with magnificent oak floors and beautiful skirting boards and massive cupboards and wardrobes. - You could almost hold a party in them. The bed was comfortable and the internet worked perfectly. Hooray. I loved it there and would definitely go back if I am in that area again

Like most in here have mentioned, Pierogi is the way to go. If you don't want to make them from scratch though, Mrs. T's is the way to go. Boil them for a few mintues before you fry them though so they soften, and don't worry about using too much onion or butter. There's no such thing with Pierogi
Another possible recipe. My grandmother made this when I was younger and it tasted like heaven. This recipe isn't exactly like hers but close. This is only if you want to go all out here.
Fresh Pork Shank
2 fresh pork shanks, about 3-4 pounds total
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 slices bacon, diced
1 large onion, peeled and sliced
1 32-oz. packaged refrigerated sauerkraut, rinsed and drained well
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 ounces beer, room temperature
Cooking Directions
Season shanks with salt and pepper, set aside. In large Dutch oven or pot sauté bacon to render fat, stir in onion and cook and stir until onion is tender but not brown; push to one side of pan. Add shanks and brown on all sides, about 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Meanwhile, in large bowl stir together drained sauerkraut and remaining ingredients. Remove shanks, place sauerkraut mixture on bottom of pan, return shanks on top of kraut, drizzle beer over all. Cover and place in 350 degrees F. oven for 2-2 1/2 hours, until shanks are very tender. Serves 4.
Oh yeah Ozey, for the drinks - here's an idea if you want to do a little more than just Vodka shots and still stick to Polish tradition. Buy a large jar of sour pickles, cut them up into like wedges or cubes, and serve them alongside the Vodka shots as chasers. Sort of like mexican-style with a lemon or lime along with a tequila shot, the Polish will sometimes do this with pickles I've heard. It curbs the strong taste of the alcohol and I've even heard that the ingredients in pickle juice can help cure or even prevent a bad hangover. Might not be too popular with the ladies, but it's an idea.
Sorry I don't have any recipes to share, but this thread brings back memories of eating at my grandmother's (she never used recipes...she just knew how to make these things off the top of her head). While others had more Americanized holiday dinners, I could always look forward to a Christmas feast including things like kielbasa (smoked and fresh), pierogies, haluski, and paczki doughnuts. Before you eat your own Polish feast, you should exclaim "Smacznego!" (smahtch-NEH-gaw) to your guests, which is roughly the Polish equivalent of "Bon Appetit!"

Giving Up on the Conventional Resume
Brent Humphries was a technical project manager at the Iowa Foundation for Medical Care. His position was eliminated in June 2009, after five years with the nonprofit. Previously, he worked as an IT contractor for various financial services companies. Mr. Humphries, 37, earned a part-time MBA from the University of Iowa in 2009. He lives in Des Moines, Iowa.
I just finished the third interview in a week where the interviewer never even looked at my resume. In a world where companies streamline the screening process to the nth degree, personal networks trump everything else, and applicants are little more than a list of keywords. The conventional resume is dead.
In the interests of efficiency, companies seem to be squeezing out almost all of the opportunities for an applicant to creatively differentiate themselves. I recently completed an online application where 95% of the requested fields were marked as mandatory, and almost none of the fields were free-form. In the instructions, the implication was clear that "irregularities" or incomplete data would negatively impact an applicant's chances of being hired.
So far in my job search, my personal network has proven to be infinitely more useful than my resume has been. For network-derived job leads, I've almost always secured at least a first interview; for job leads where my resume is the first contact with the company, it's just not happening.
Since there is still a glut of job applicants for many positions, companies can continue to require long lists of highly specialized skills and dismiss applicants who don't have all of them. In this scenario, meeting 100% of the job requirements plus 95% of the preferred skills often means that applying for the job isn't going to result in getting an interview. Based on my experience, the idea of assessing an applicant from their resume and determining their usefulness to the organization has been replaced with simply counting keywords.
So, what am I doing to move my job search forward in a post-resume world? I'm putting more effort into my resume. Yes, you read that last sentence correctly. I'm using my resume so it helps with my job search as it needs to be today. Writing and re-writing my resume helps to organize my thoughts about my career, helping me to be more prepared in interviews to discuss my experience, credentials, and strengths in a way that highlights how I can help the organization. My resume is also how my network gets me interviews, because a proper resume is still a requirement for most positions and makes it easier for my network to convince a hiring manager that I'm a good candidate for an interview.
A resume is still an opportunity to stand out to the people who read it, even if most "readers" are automated programs that are just counting keywords. One out-of-the-box option someone recently mentioned to me was to send out Valentine's Day-themed resumes like using red ink on pink paper. Who knows, something so unusual might get my resume the attention it hasn't garnered lately…I wonder if I should order some of those candy hearts with a custom message on them.
Has the conventional resume become less important in your job search? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Houston County's annual Spirit of Service day is a little less than a month away.
Wednesday organizers and local service groups met to announce projects available to the public.
For example, Wiregrass Habitat for Humanity will be beautifying the diamond grove area.
"There's a common area with a playground and picnic tables and we just want to come out and plant some flowers and just beautify that for our neighbors," said Amy Schutz.
Spirit of Service day is Saturday, April 20th.

Join us on our new podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Job 42 makes it clear that Leviathan, the spirit of separation, will not run from man-made weapons. We must use God's weapons if we want to defeat it (see 2 Cor. 10:4). Here are a few strategies to remember the next time you sense a divisive undercurrent beneath the surface of your relationships:
Use spiritual discernment. Discernment is critical because Leviathan operates under the surface for as long as it can. Listen to the urgings of the Holy Spirit. Pay attention when your "gut" tells you something is wrong.
Overcome evil with good. Our natural temptation is to fight fire with fire, returning evil for evil. But Romans 12:9-21 outlines a different set of rules. When met with anger or pride, we must respond with love and blessing. Fighting anger with more anger generates strongholds. Humility de-escalates the warfare and overcomes evil with good.
Pray. Isaiah 26:20-27:1 links the day of Leviathan's defeat with God's call to "enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself" (NKJV). When we go into our prayer chamber, God will fight for us. When Job prayed for his friends, he won the battle.
Engage in corporate warfare. Praying in groups is a powerful weapon against Leviathan. There is power in numbers when God is in our midst (see Deut. 32:30). When you're dealing with a spirit as strong, as ancient and as subtle as Leviathan, don't tackle it alone. Get others to join you in the fight.

|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
|WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors
Performed a general copy-edit of the article. Noted several places that should have additional citations. It seems like the recent parts of the entry are starting to become more of a random collection of financial factoids and trivia than an encyclopedic entry... Macwhiz (talk) 16:08, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
What happened to newsforge.com?[edit]
Can't seem to find any sources regarding its closure?
Actually I found the answer in http://blogs.the451group.com/opensource/2009/03/05/linuxcom-saved-from-whatever-happened-to-files/ : it was taken over by the linux foundation
Dear Edward[edit]
Isn't the stock chart image a bit too tacky?
--188.8.131.52 07:14, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think it's all that tacky, since VA Linux is a classic example of a "dot com bubble" company. -- Kaszeta 11:37, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I like the early stock price chart too, even though I'm a fan of VA Software now. As noted in the article, VA Linux had the biggest first-day pop in US (Worldwide?) IPO history. Then it plummeted from about $320 to about 50 cents. Quite notable, IMHO. I did ad a link for a current interactive chart to the text. JonWinge 23:32, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Fundamental question[edit]
Hey, what does VA stand for? --DevastatorIIC 09:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- the last name of the two founders: Vera and Augustin? 16@r 16:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
This is in fact true. (I used to work there) Cdibona 04:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Another Question[edit]
Why does their software call home when I start my computer? 22.214.171.124 is called REPEATEDLY when my computer is started. Only know that because Peer Guardian blocks that address. What is this software, and how do I get rid of it?
- This is Wikipedia, not a support forum. I'd use Wireshark to find out what host name it talks to, though. -- Martin von Gagern (talk) 08:26, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Problems with bare links for references[edit]
I have thoroughly fixed and updated the links used as references for this article because they had quite a few faults. The essential problem is the use of bare links; i.e., a URL with no other identifying information. These frequently break, and without data like news article titles or website page titles, it is often impossible even to know where to look for a replacement source. (Archive sites like the Wayback Machine or Google sometimes help, but often do not. In this case, all of the VA Software press releases disappeared when the company moved their website to sourceforge.com, and the archive sites only caught two of them before they ceased to exist.
In short, bare links should be never be used as sources for Wikipedia articles. You don't necessarily have to create a fully filled-out citation, but at least include basic title or descriptive information with the reference. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:36, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
FInance information encyclopedia?[edit]
The article not show cultural aspects, important hosted softwares, etc. The focus is only financial aspects of the comapany and its iniciatives. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 19:21, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
OSDN erased from history?[edit]
Okay, I admit it's been a while since I've seen the term OSDN (Open Source Developers Network), but I was looking for some good resources for Free and open source software and pulled that acronym from the dusty corners of my brain. My memories say that they were the Slashdot, ThinkGeek, Freshmeat folks, and the official sourceforge site listing confirmed that for me.
Anyway, that site had no mention of "OSDN" though I was sure I wasn't making this up. I thought I'd head here to wikipedia to get a sense of what happened ... the history and whatnot. This page does a fairly good job of explaining things, except there's only one mention of the OSDN, and that's cuz I got to the page via redirect from OSDN.
Am I the only one who got a little confused by the lack of mention of the OSDN, or was it just some really short flash-in-the-pan, minor aspect of the history of SourceForge, Inc. that folks feel that it deserves/needs no explanation whatsoever?
I'm asking here because I don't want to just assume that my confusion is universal or even that my opinion's even all that valid. Just confused. DigitalSorceress -- (talk) 14:55, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

"Kangaroo Valley - Potteries and Winding Road" Kangaroo Valley by Audrey118
Kangaroo Valley Travel Guide: 17 reviews and 62 photos
We drove a challenging path from Bundanoon to Exerter to Kangaroo Valley. The road goes up and down in narrow path, and you can fill your ears popping!!! the same feeling like you are about to take off or land in the airplanes.
Our arrival to Kangaroo Valley was much to cheered for especially after an pleasant day at Berrima, Bundanoon, Moss Vale etc
It was almost the end of the day, after driving hundreds of km, and indeed we need rest.
we oulled over as soon as we saw shops - hurrah - we bought ouserlves some carbonated drinks to chill out in a surprisingly hot day at the southern hiuhlands. After all you are in the highlands and even though we are in summer - it was just as hot as compared to Sydney city.
There were more shops than we asked for - it was as good as Berrima although not as many but the variety was deilghtful.
No - I did not buy much more - or else I be in trouble at the airport.
I ended up buying only some wood crafted fruits - one small banana and one small plum ; both made of Australian wood - they both added to my collection of Tassie wood fruits I had bought in my trip to Tasmania many years ago. What impressed me most of that shop was the amount of wood products they can come up with in this little small - but working town.
In the pictures in this site, I have added photos of rocking horse - the type I rode when I was a child - funny that they still exists!!! and chess sets and many many more. There was one particular wood work I saw which was a beautiful wren bird and some rosellas - but becos it was not made in Kangaroo Valley and also becos it cost something like AUD800 - I had to give it a miss.
There was one pottery worth going in = it is wooden white one with lots of scary looking terracotta faces outside - but inside the shop was so just amazing. The lady had placed all her potteries in different section of the well renovated house and each section were based on colours of the potteries. So you have magenta section, blue section. green section.... I wished I had more luggage space!!! At there was garden decoration to admire with water trinlking sounds....I love that.
Kangaroo Valley is part of the beautiful Shoalhaven region on the South Coast of New South Wales Australia. The most famous landmark would be the Hampden Bridge, which was built over the Kangaroo River in 1898. Hampden Bridge resembles a turreted medieval castle. It is the oldest suspension bridge in Australia.
On bothsides of the bridge there are picnic grounds and BBQ pits.
- Pros:2 hours from Sudney - and a world of difference

I saw most of you ladies have made some progress and are a few centimeters? I was wondering if you have to have some contractions to do this or does it just happen sometimes naturally on its own??
I saw most of you ladies have made some progress and are a few centimeters? I was wondering if you have to have some contractions to do this or does it just happen sometimes naturally on its own??
mom to three boys and an angel....
Good question! I'm not sure. I know with my first pregnancy, I never noticed any contractions, but I was having them (or so the monitor said! :)), and somehow I dilated to 2 on my own before being induced. I don't know if the contracting leads to dilation or if dilation increases contractions ... very good question!
Just your reg. braxton hicks can cause you to dilate, so you wouldnt really know, or in my past I had no idea till I was checked and was 4-5 cms!! I have been having alot of braxton hicks, and since bouncing on the yoga ball, contracting more often some with a bit of pain... but I am only 351/2 weeks yet.....!!

I will be 37 weeks on Monday and though for sure I had dilated atleast 1cm, but yesterday at my dr visit, he told me my cervix was COMPLETELY closed. I was so disappointed!!! I would assume though that you could be dilated and not realize it. Everyone handles pain differently so you could be having slight contractions and not even realize it.

i believe you have to contract to dilate but i could be wrong.

I walked into the hospital for my induction when I was pregnant with DS 5 cm dilated and hadn't had any contractions other than the BH ones...
I didn't start contracting (according to the monitor) until they broke my water at 6 cm. I believe its oxytocin that causes you to dilate and contract, so once the baby releases that hormone you will start dilating or contracting or both.
I am now 36.5 weeks and I was dilated 2cm at my last appt. The week before that I was 1 cm, and the week between the 1 and 2 I didn't notice many contractions at all, even BH ones. So I'm sure contracting leads to dilation, but I guess you don't always feel the contractions, especially with your first.
Good Luck!

i sure hope so! i have had no contractions!

Questioning Circumcision?
Moving on after 4 failed ivf cycles
w/dd i was having some mild cramping and tightness throughout sat evening into sunday morning, at crazy intervals..nothing under 6 min...i went in, on my own, dr on call said to wait till i was under 6 min apart...i didnt even think they were contractions.
i had got up to use the bathroom and stopped suddenly the tightening was pretty intense.
i got to the hospital and was 5cm dialated...i never had braxton hicks, not once with her.
and the bh im getting now..like 2/3 an hour...is more of the contraction type when i was about to push my dd out.
im just saying my first was very unnoticeable...just mild (very mild) cramping that came and went w/a slight tightness.
Apparently contractions don't necessarily cause you to dilate either. I have been having a lot for a long time (since about 28 or 30 weeks) and I was checked at 36 weeks for the first time. I was 1 cm then and I'm still 1cm at 38 weeks. But, I don't know if you HAVE to have them in order to dilate.
Thanks...... I have been curious about this..

Appropriate Compost Location
Pick a level location about 5 feet square, preferably out of direct sunlight and away from roof drainage. Then clear the ground of grass. Pile up the material directly on this spot, or put it in a composting bin or tumbler bought at your home center. You can also build a simple enclosure from chicken wire, scrap lumber, or cinder blocks. Make it about 3 feet square, and leave gaps in the sides to let air circulate.

Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know of a new plugin I've created. It's called FriendlyCode and it's purpose is to highlight your source code with pretty colours making it nice and easy to read.
It works fine when it comes to long bits of code but it's in alpha form so still has a way to go. Would appreciate any feedback on this, especially seeing as it's my first plugin.
Have a look at http://www.0gravity.co.uk/wordpress/?p=254 for more details on the plugin.

|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
In the United States the spelling is Harbormaster not Harbourmaster. It is Wikipedia convention to use the spelling that is proper for the region. It is improper to use Harbourmaster when describing the American profession.
- If harbourmasters only existed in the United States then it would be appropriate to use the American spelling for the whole article. Since the post exists everywhere the spelling should be consistent throughout the article. Therefore, since the article was started in British English it should continue to be in British English throughout unless it refers to a proper name (e.g. Queen's Harbourmaster), in which case the spelling used in the appropriate country should obviously be used. Spelling should not be changed halfway through an article. This is quite clearly stated in the Manual of Style. -- Necrothesp 13:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Coast guard flag.gif[edit]
Image:Coast guard flag.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Colonels stop Islanders to keep postseason hopes alive
Published: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 10:48 a.m.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Down two runs after five innings against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, the Nicholls State University softball team rallied with a run in the sixth and seven innings to send the game into extra innings.
Senior Ashton Bennett drove in the game-winning run in the ninth, as the Colonels swept the Islanders with a 3-2 victory Sunday at Chapman Field.
The sweep was the first for Nicholls (22-24 overall, 12-11 in the Southland Conference) in conference play this season, setting up a huge final series next weekend at home against first-place McNeese State. The Colonels are currently in fifth place in the standings, holding the tiebreaker against Southeastern Louisiana. With only six teams qualifying for the Southland Conference Tournament, Lamar is on the outside looking in, trailing both teams by 1 1/2 games.
In the win, the Colonels were held to six hits, including just one in the first five innings. Courtney Vanlandingham and Brittany Marcet, who both finished with two hits, recorded singles in the sixth, which led to the Colonels first run. In the seventh, two errors by the Islanders (9-38, 4-18 in the SLC) allowed the tying run to cross the plate.
In the ninth, Danielle Phillips and Alaina Guidry led off the frame with singles, and moved to third and second on a sacrifice bunt by Colleen Levy. Bennett, who started the game in the circle allowing two runs on seven hits in six innings of work, drove in the winning run on a groundout.
Freshman Hannah Haydel, who came in for relief in the seventh, pitched three innings of hitless ball to earn the win. Haydel had one strikeout and improved to 9-9 on the year.
The Colonels' season finale against McNeese will begin with a doubleheader on Saturday. Saturday will serve as the Colonels' Strike Out Cancer Day, benefiting the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center at Terrebonne General Medical Center. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Pricing Your Home by Carol Best Jameson Sotheby's International Realty Winnetka | Barrington IL
Home sellers, these quotes/statements are taken directly from The Residential Specialist magazine:
Ask Alexis Bolin, CRS Emeritus, to explain her strategy to price a home and the Pensacola, Florida-based broker associate with ERA Legacy Realty counters with a quick reply: "I don't set the price. The market sets the price. I'm the messenger."
Acting as messenger, however, is no light task. The role involves collecting, analyzing and delivering timely market facts, figures and statistics that indicate what buyers are currently willing to pay for a property similar to the seller's. This in turn demonstrates where appraisers are setting market value and what lenders are willing to lend.
With facts on the table — and the REALTOR'S® skilled guidance to interpret the data — the seller's best price range will rise to the surface. "Now it's up to the seller," Bolin adds. "They can either price their home to sell or they can price it to sit."
When Bolin asks sellers what they think the statistics mean, the logical answer is that buyers aren't buying homes in that range in this neighborhood at this time. If the seller is motivated, the next step is to find a price range that is attracting buyers. "When I do the homework and get the right statistics, sellers eventually see the right price range. It may not be as high as they'd hoped, but based on the facts, they'll know the price range fairly represents current market value."
"Let's say you want to list at $150,000, but the absorption rate shows us that $145,000 to $149,000 is the area's hot range," Brun adds. "I could try talking the seller down to $149,000 or I can point to the graph and say, 'Here's where you are, here's the hot zone and the difference is $1,000. What do you want to do?' It's tough arguing with numbers, and in the big picture, $1,000 is pennies — although even that small amount can make a big difference in how fast a home sells. So the answer is usually pretty easy for the seller to make."
Great job Alexis Bolin - I could not agree more! That is why we are CRS designated agents - the Top 3% of all agents nationwide.

Hi Ladies,
I thought this would be a good board to ask this question on. We are TTC #2 and I have a question regarding vitamins. I was so sick with #1 that I could barely swallow a pill and my ob/gyne just told me to take flinstones for kids with iron. I looked today and those have so much junk in them...I know I'm being premature because the 2nd pregnancy might be fine but I want to know. Do they make a yummy gummy for kids with iron? Or what other alternatives do I have?

13-year-old finds mistake in Metropolitan Museum of Art mapBreaking News
New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) is one of the world's premier destinations for artistic and historical exhibitions. But this epicenter of worldly culture is not above admitting the occasional mistake. Even when the correction comes from one curious 13-year-old boy.
The Hartford Courant reports that 13-year-old Benjamin Lerman Coady found an error in the Met's Byzantine Gallery during a recent visit. The seventh-grader is a fledgling history buff who recently studied the Byzantine Empire in school.
While checking some of the dates on the map, Coady noticed that sections featuring Spain and Africa were missing....

Just caught this thread and was amused by some of the comments on it.
On dsteer, I think he's taken some unfair stick on here myself, he's articulate I agree and that does bug some people. But in addition, I think he's always reacted sensibly to blatant p1sstakers and those who have really gone after him on here. I think that speaks volumes.
You don't have to agree with him, and many don't. The thing is he's not usually in the habit of slagging of those with a different opinion to his, while the opposite is not always true of those who don't agree with his view.
I say keep it up Dave.
As for those calling for King Kenny's return - I ask you this. How much of that call is based on pure sentiment? This guy IS LFC to the core, we all know that. But do those calling for his return have complete faith in his ability to take a top club forward in a league whose demands have evolved and changed much since he last managed us? And what about his desire to manage as well? I'm not sure it's a foregone conclusion that he'd jump at the job if it were offered to him.
This isn't a question about whether Rafa should go, but more about whether anyone can, sentiment aside, state with complete certainty that King Kenny is the better choice to take the club forward, today.
I think the jury's still out on that one.

dsteer is his own worst enemy.
He should learn to mix it up from time to time, rather than always behaving in a gentlemanly way which sends the wrong signal (seen as a sign of weakness) to the board baddies who act upon such weakness with punitive actions.

C'mon Colin, where are you?
Colin is also another trure red, but always fights on this board with Dsteer. Their tug-a-war game occupies half of this board, which keeps me reading this board.

kuen...Im around and it seems Dsteer has chosen to avoid dealing with one or two of my queries after exhibiting zero knowledge of certain aspects of our clubs culture so not much in the way of a as u put it tug-o-war going on at the moment as a result of his evasion of the issues. You might find it interesting to read what Ive said on the RUSHIE AND ACCRINGTON STANLEY thread.
He has accused me of asking him to :justify: his support for our club...this is a non-starter as nowhere in any of my posts will u find such a request . I think he is confusing this request with that of someone else as he does have many critics on the board, many of whom also attacked his style of prose...I was not among them.
My own opinion is anyone anywhere in the world is entitled to follow our club. I do however feel DSTEER is deluded in his staunch support of BENITEZ come what may ...win lose or draw this guy always has an excuse for his beloved Rafa...as u probably know I lost faith in Rafa many moons ago and advocate that he be sacked immediately...if not before ! AND APPOINT KING KENNY ...NOW !!!

why on the main page does this thread say that its created by seaniceman but when you click into the thread it says neutral? This isnt the first time i have seen this happen with these two id's...is this a case of someone with multiple id's? with one he s praising dsteer and the other he is naming him captian dyckhead...whats that all about eh? someone sounds like they need to go to the doctors!

I am with Dsteer always talk sense. Getting rid of Rafa now would mean totally back to square 1. We are lacking in some world class players these cost money that we have not got. we need some serious 5oo million investment . New stadium etc.
This is rather odd. Go on Dsteer, you've got your own fans, fans page!

Production Sound Mixer
Plenty of sound mixers have simply worked their way up in the business—usually starting out as a boom operator and moving up the ladder if they can prove themselves to be knowledgeable and dependable—but getting a college degree would not be for naught. It is important that a sound mixer understand the science of sound and have an extensive background in technical audio knowledge, much of which can be picked up at a trade school or in a sound technology course. You may have to major in something silly like "business" in order to graduate, but hopefully you'll never have to resort to pursuing a career that makes direct use of it. God forbid you should make some serious money.

Bruins defeat Panthers 4-1November 08,2013
BOSTON Tuukka Rask made 29 saves and the Boston Bruins got goals from four different players to hand the Florida Panthers their seventh straight loss, 4-1 on Thursday night.
Rask improved to 9-1 against Florida in helping Boston win for the third time in its last seven home games.
Florida has lost 10 of its past 11 games and is on its longest skid (0-3-4) since a 10-game slide in April 2011.
David Krejci gave Boston a 1-0 lead when his shot from the blue line beat Panthers goalie Scott Clemmensen at 7:17 of the second period. Brad Marchand, Torey Krug and Reilly Smith scored in the third.
Jesse Winchester scored for the Panthers.
Panthers goalie Tim Thomas is still out with a lower body injury, but the former Bruins goalie was shown on the Jumbotron midway through the third period and received a rousing ovation.MORE IN Sports WireWhen it comes to women in elected office, Maine stands out for longevity, Vermont for relatively...

text: Can't come up with a name? Doesn't matter I guess :x I have been following Smogon for a good amount of time already, I just never felt the urge to register an account and post anything so I have been playing the innocent bystander for a long time. But I somehow wanted people to look at this team of mine and tell me what they think of it honestly. Yes, I could have posted an RMT a long time ago, but I had the feeling that it was necessary to present a (more or less) well thought out and polished team instead of randomly asking around "how to make this team better". That is why I've been playing with this team for about 3 or 4 weeks constantly, while tweaking and improving it bit by bit. Slowly I found myself ranked pretty high on Showdown's UU ladder and before long, I peaked at #5. I did hold this ranking for about a week before I tumbled down due to an unfortunate losing streak (Hax is not to blame, because I played recklessly and got punished for that, 3 games in a row -_-). Nonetheless I found peaking so high to be a feat fairly acknowledgable. Not only did I gain a lot of valuable experience in the UU tier, but I also gained the confidence to proudly present my team, knowing I'm 100% sure of what I am talking about. But I digress, let us move on shall we. --- Team building process Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide Everyone of my UU Teams in the past included this guy, as it is easily one of my most favorite Pokemon. Not because of its position in the UU tier, but rather because I fell in love with its design when I played Gen II as a kid back then - and I still love it to this date. But not only does it look extremely badass, incidentally it is also one of the most versatile Pokemon in the entire UU metagame. (I forgot who the sixth one was :x) Now I literaly threw a bunch of random guys together who seemed like they had a pretty good balance between offensive and defensive coverage. Claydol was only there because it provided both Stealth Rock AND Rapid Spin, and it was pretty useless otherwise. Krookodile also didn't do anything significant while testing so now I knew what to tweak on. (again that sixth Pokemon ...) One of my problems was that my entry hazards would always get spun away without me being able to capitalize on that one free turn I would get. A friend of mine suggested me to replace Crobat with Nasty Plot Mismagius, because it could deal with Blastoise rather effectively and use it as setup fodder. I also swapped out Krookodile for Mienshao, simply because it was infinitely better as a scarfer. (I honestly can't remember ... damn I'm feeling old) That team composition was really awkward and also I would get ROFLstomped by stall. So I went back to Crobat and redistributed Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin between Blastoise and Rhyperior. The next problem: I was unable to switch into Water type moves (aka Scald aka "A bucket full of hot water splashed in your face"). (I think my brain needs a memory therapy) I swapped out Azelf (my Special Life Orb attacker) for Shaymin, which was a lot slower, but had lots of more advantages with its good natural bulk, resistance to Water and access to solid recovery to counteract the Life Orb recoil. (finally not a Missingno.) Houndoom was my last addition to the team. I needed some sort of priority, simply because there are faster things out there than scarfed Mienshao and most, if not everyone of those do not resist Dark (good thing neither Cobalion nor Virizion are really that viable with a Scarf). Houndoom was a more or less random addition because I just felt like using it. It was also a Dark-type, something I kind of needed because otherwise, ghosts and psychics would ran totally rampant on my team. --- In Detail Artwork by Suguro @ deviantART Crobat Item: Black Sludge Ability: Inner Focus EVs: 136 Spd / 176 HP / 192 Atk / 4 SDef Nature: Jolly (+Spd -SAtk) - Brave Bird - Roost - Taunt - U-turn The offensive pivot. Crobat does so much work in the UU metagame it's not even funny. Its unique dual typing grants it a whooping three 4x resistances to Grass, Bug and Fighting, arguably a few of the most popular attacking types in the metagame. Couple it with an astonishing base speed of 130 and access to Taunt and Roost and you have an all-inclusive-package of pure awe-inspiring badassery. Crobat is easily my most important Pokémon and losing it early usually means game over for me. It is my main check to pretty much any sort of defensive setup Pokemon, any sort of offensive Grass-, Bug-, Fighting-, and Ground-type Pokemon ... in short: nearly everything. Yes, being able to check the entire tier does make it somewhat good, I admit. The EV spread is nothing new, it is the usual stallbreaker Crobat spread from Smogon. I decided not to speedcreep against other Crobats for being able to outslow opposing Crobats when it comes to me and my opponent both using U-turn, in which case I would have the advantage. It also keeps momentum on my side which is very important because my team does not really like to defend. Yes, I know I could have gone for more offensive Pokemon with U-Turn, Volt Switch or Baton Pass, but in a lot of cases, I don't actually need those, as a simple matter of prediction can get me to a desired outcome. Most often I lead off with Crobat, simply because I outspeed any non-scarfed Pokemon under 116 base speed, and can force a lot of switches in which case I can instantly turn the game in my favor thanks to Taunt and U-Turn. Possible changes This Crobat used to have Infiltrator, but on the ladder you will always see Fake Out Mienshao and Ambipom running around, while screens don't really appear that often. So when playing in a tournament environment, I suggest using Infiltrator instead. There is also the possibility to speedcreep against other standard Crobats to prevent them from Roosting and win in the direct combat. After the recent Tier changes Nothing changed here. It is still the same set as it works just as well. As Scrafty begins to gain popularity because of Chansey, Crobat's importance will become even greater. Artwork by some Asian guy whose nick I can't read @ pixiv Shaymin Item: Life Orb Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP IVs: 2 Atk / 30 SAtk / 30 Spd (formerly 2 Atk / 30 Def) Nature: Timid (+Spd -Atk) - Seed Flare - Psychic (formerly Earth Power) - Hidden Power [Fire] (formerly HP Ice) - Synthesis Shaymin is my main means of dealing significant amounts of damage. With 2 Pokemon carrying U-turn and the ever so popular Bulky Waters running around everywhere, Shaymin finds lots of opportunities to switch in safely. Once on the battlefield, I usually go straight for the HP Ice to hit Grass- and Flying-types on the switch in OR I go for Seed Flare to bank on a SDef drop, which will bring most Grass resists into KO range of one of my coverage moves. While I could use Earth Power to hit incoming Steel- and Fire-types, most Fire-types don't like to switch into Shaymin directly as long as their Flying-type team mates are still healthy enough; and as for Steels ... well, 90% of the steel types in UU Teams is called Bronzong. And yes, Bronzong does wall this set unless it is extremely low on health or I get lucky with crits and SDef drops, but my team can deal with Bronzong well enough so it is never a threat (not that Bronzong would be a major threat anyway). I chose to go for HP Ice instead of HP Fire to hit more stuff super-effectively instead of just getting decent neutral coverage because a neutral HP Fire would not nearly do enough damage to Flying-types, as HP Ice already barely 2-hit KOs some of those. Possible Changes Instead of HP Ice, one could always go for either Air Slash or even Psychic if needed. Especially Air Slash can be used to gain an advantage against opposing Shaymins, while also being more or less the only move to threaten Amoongus with, which could otherwise deal with this Shaymin with Spore and Clear Smog, as HP Ice is not strong enough to deal with the giant shroom. HP Fire although, I would not suggest, simply because Bronzong should never be considered a threat with this team. Another possible change would be Synthesis into Rest, but Synthesis is more useful most often because you can heal up and smack some stuff instead of being forced to switch out. Generally speaking, being forced to switch is always bad! After the recent Tier changes Well this one got quite some changes huh? Let me explain: My team is incredibly weak against Abomasnow, while keeping offensive momentum is not a problem against the tree man (offensive sets aren't that big of a problem), switching in on that thing is VERY annoying. Especially the SubSeed set (which seems to be the most popular atm) is a hassle to take on. Blastoise can't do crap against that thing aside from Roar, while neither Mienshao nor Houndoom like eating Blizzards. With Protect (which the SubSeed set should always carry, Mienshao can "only" U-Turn against it, which means that it can get a Sub or Leech Seed onto something and proceed to stall. Moreso, Houndoom - while being the best Pokémon to take on Abomasnow on paper - has huge troubles dealing with risidual damage from Life Orb, Hail and potentially Stealth Rocks and Leech Seed, which means that Abomasnow can potentially outstall Houndoom. The way I see it, Abomasnow has two safe switch-ins against my former team composition: Blastoise and Shaymin. Since Blastoise already invites a plethora of crap to switch in, fixing THAT particular weakness is downright impossible. But punishing Abomasnow for switching in on Shaymin is something really useful. After switching in on a Seed Flare, HP Fire is a straight OHKO. Now that I don't have HP Ice anymore I needed something against common Shaymin switch-ins: Bronzong, Roserade, Crobat and Zapdos. HP Fire, does about 30 to 40% to standard Bronzong which means that after getting a SDef drop from Seed Flare, HP Fire will heavily dent or kill it. Psychic hits Crobat and Roserade pretty hard, forcing the former to Roost or OHKO after rocks, while only max HP max SDef+ Roserade avoids a 2HKO. Now Zapdos suddenly becomes even more of a problem. Because I'm running HP Fire, I can now never tie with opposing max speed base 100 Pokés, making this Shaymin really weak against Zapdos and opposing Shaymins. A very important thing to note: This set does not work well if revealed too early, as it is rather gimmicky. No HP Ice or Earth Power means that Raikou and Zapdos are free to switch in / set up on you, so revealing the moveset too early could spell doom. Artwork by Dawn-Shade @ deviantART Mienshao Item: Choice Scarf Ability: Regenerator EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef Nature: Jolly (+Spd -SAtk) - Hi Jump Kick - Stone Edge - U-turn - Aerial Ace This thing is like scarfed Heracross, but just infinitely harder to deal with. With Hi Jump Kick's monstrous 130 base power and the same base Atk as Heracross, getting hit by the knee will hurt a lot. Slap a scarf on it and it outspeeds every common scarfer in UU as a majority of those are under base 105 Speed. Actually, Raikou and Azelf are the only faster Pokémon in the tier to be able to use a Choice Scarf effectively (inb4 scarfed Weavile), so most of the time Mienshao will be the fastest Pokémon in the match. The moves and EVs are pretty straightforward: HJK + Stone Edge for general coverage, U-Turn for grabbing momentum while forcing out a lot of stuff and Aerial Ace to have an insurance against Scarf Heracross (or having a 100% accurate move against Virizion should Crobat be dead already). Regenerator is great, as it serves as an insurance against HJK misses, as well as keeping Mienshao at full HP. This is actually an important matter because otherwise, SR and Spikes can wear it down to the point where it will fall easily to priority moves. It is walled by Gligar as well as the plethora of Ghost-types running around in UU but none of them pose a real threat to my team, as in most cases, I can U-Turn out into either Shaymin or my next team member. Possible Changes None. This is arguably the best Scarf Mienshao set in existance, running HP Ice over Aerial Ace might seem tempting, but more Pokémon on this team can deal with Gligar, while not that many of them can deal with a Scarf Heracross on a rampage. Reckless can be used instead of Regenerator, but personally I find Regenerator to be much more reliable, at is allows me to switch into weak coverage moves or resisted hits and heal up as I U-Turn out again. It's a personal pick IMO. After the recent Tier changes Nothing. While either Life Orb or Reckless would help immensely against Chansey, getting rid of Scarf is a no-goand I don't quite trust my luck with HJK. Artwork by falvie @ deviantART Houndoom Item: Life Orb Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SAtk Nature: Lonely (+Atk -Def) (formerly Hasty) - Overheat (formerly Fire Blast) - Crunch - Sucker Punch - Pursuit What Mienshao cannot take care of, this guy most often can. Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, this Houndoom carries an uninvested Fire Blast as well as three physical Dark-type STABs. The idea behind this set is to kill off psychic and ghost types as efficiently as possible and this set makes it happen. Especially with Mienshao luring in Ghost-types, Houndoom can effectively neutralize those while still being very threatening to a lot of other Pokémon. This set of 3 Physical Dark-type STABs gives most opponents a false sense of security, as many people assume that they can savely go for an aggressive or defensive approach after seeing either combination of 2 of my 3 Dark-type moves. I had a lot of games where I succesfully eliminated a Chandelure, just to get greeted by a Kingdra afterwards. Every single time this has happened, I knew exactly that my opponent would just setup either Rain Dance or Dragon Dance and go from there. Every single time I just crunched for about 55% damage while the Kingdra set up, and the turn after I would just Sucker Punch for the kill. The point of this example is that not many people (aka pretty much nobody) expect Crunch, Pursuit AND Sucker Punch, thus luring them into making plays based on that wrong assumption. Bottom of the Line: this set works so well because Houndoom is not very often seen and people don't know what to expect. As a matter of fact, Houndoom has the lowest usage out of all UU Pokémon in the metagame. It should also be noted that Houndoom does have a very usable 95 base speed to threaten the ever so annoying Roserade while dealing huge amounts of damage with 3 Dark-type moves nobody sees coming. Another very nice aspect is the possibility to easily switch into Sableye, while baiting Will-o-Wisp with Crobat and Mienshao. Possible Changes Crunch could be replaced by either a Hidden Power of choice or Thunder Fang I guess. But neither uninvested HP Grass / Electric nor Thunder Fang can break through all those bulky waters this thing lures in. Fire Blast can be replaced by Overheat I guess, as in most cases, you won't be using your only special move more than once. Moreso, now that I think about it, using Overheat could even encourage opponents to set up on this houndoom even more while I can 2hit KO them with my physical Dark STABs. I guess I'll try it out for a while. Something I am considering but haven't tested yet is changing the nature from Hasty into Lonely, trading speed for power. Sometimes I barely miss the 2HKO with Crunch + Sucker Punch, in which case I wish Houndoom would just hit harder. The speed drop is pretty significant though, because houndoom will suddenly outslow things like Nidoking (good chance of OHKO after rocks) and offensive Roserade. After the recent Tier changes I finally changed the stuff mentioned above. Overheat is pretty neat, as any boost in immediate power is welcome on this set. Although there are times where I wish I had Fire Blast, losing against a team of 4 things weak to Fire seems downright not possible for me. The change of Nature is another thing to note, it gives me more immediate power which allows me to safely 2HKO stuff like Zapdos and Kingdra (some run a bit of HP) with Crunch + Sucker Punch. Although the matchup against Nidoking is now very shaky, because Timid ones (which is the most common) will outspeed and kill this Houndoom. It's still a thing I'm testing and it may go back and forth, but as for now, Lonely shall be the nature I'm running. Artwork by dinton-d @ deviantART Rhyperior Item: Leftovers Ability: Solid Rock EVs: 248 HP / 16 Atk / 244 SDef Nature: Adamant (+Atk -SAtk) - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Rock Blast - Dragon Tail Yes, good old Rhyperior. The standard specially defensive spread can take on both Zapdos and Raikou not carrying HP Grass or Water, threatening them with one of its STABs while setting up Rocks in the process (or just straight up kill them should they predict Rocks). This thing also lures in Blastoise and Hitmontop pretty often, something I can capitalize on, as I can switch to either Shaymin or Crobat to gain momentum. Also, this thing is great to switch into choiced Mienshao's and Heracross' Stone Edge as they predict Crobat coming in (if the opponent has scarfed Heracross, they go for Stone Edge 80% of the time predicting Crobat). Additionally, even without defensive investment, this thing gets to almost 300 Def and cannot be OHKOed by Choice Band Darmanitan's Superpower when at full HP. Possible Changes The forth moveslot is a never ending story. At first it was Megahorn to hit Dark and Grass-types on the switch in. After the 85 accuracy let me down quite often, I switched to Ice Punch to at least get some reliable hits onto something (at least Flygon was not a problem with Ice Punch). But as Ice Punch was rather weak and as Rhyperior invited a bunch of physically bulky stuff to setup all over me, I eventually just went with Dragon Tail to royally screw over common switch-ins (while still dealing a good amount of damage to Flygon, albeit it is not an OHKO). After the recent Tier changes None. What might become a problem is the rising number of Fighting types because of Chansey, I guess I'll have to rely on Crobat for that >_> Artwork by Twarda @ pixiv Blastoise Item: Leftovers Ability: Torrent EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Spd IVs: 0 Atk Nature: Bold (+Def -Atk) - Roar - Rapid Spin - Scald - Toxic At first I refrained from using Blastoise as I dislike using the most overused (pun not intended) stuff , because seeing the same things over and over again makes the game feel stale. But as Claydol was performing pretty badly and Milotic didn't really do anything for my team aside from being generally annoying, I swallowed my false pride and just went with the turtle. It is still pretty mediocre and gives my opponent a lot of opportunities to gain momentum. But at least it has a job to perform for my team, which is spinning and playing the role of the typical bulky water in general. One thing I really like to do is using Blastoise as a defensive pivot, in times where I can't afford to predict certain moves. If something like Heracross or Chandelure (who are mostly choiced) threatens to kill something, I can switch into Blastoise first to scout the incoming move and switch right into an appropriate check afterwards. Ofc, this only works when at more or less full HP, but it can potentially save my other Pokes from getting nailed on a predicted switch in. The EVs are really standard and don't need any kind of explanation, while the useless Atk IVs are set to 0 to take less damage from Foul Play. Also, Scald and Toxic are good enough to spread some useful status onto something. Lastly, this Blastoise carries Roar to get the best of cocky Raikous and Kingdras wanting to setup on me. I generally don't want to let my opponent set up, even if it means to sacrifice a member of my team for it. Most of the time, Blastoise is the one who gets thrown into the sacrificial pit as it is easily the most expendable member of my team, but giving up one Pokémon and forfeiting my chances of winning are two different stories altogether. Possible Changes Well ... aside from the fact that I could just slap another spinner onto this slot while giving up on that whole bulky water part ... I guess I could change the ability into Rain Dish, but without at least Protect, it is still pretty pointless as most Rain Pokémon hit so hard, those extra 6% won't even matter. After the recent Tier changes None. But there is the possibility to change the complete team structure by replacing Houndoom, Rhyperior AND Blastoise with another Pursuit trapper, Rotom-H and something with both SR and Rapid Spin (aka Claydol or something like Kabutops >_>). That last part is the only thing which kept me from actually replacing half of my team. Conclusion This is a fairly offensive team so one should always avoid taking damage. Gaining momentum is key, as constantly forcing your opponent to play the catchup game will eventually result in your win (either because your opponent mispredicted or because you eliminated a key threat early on). Always try to lure in frail Pokémon that could become very threatening once they get an opportunity to either set up or just outright kill you. If need be, sacrifice a team member instead of letting your opponent set up. Never think of keeping the entire team alive but rather keeping alive the most useful Pokémon (hint: Crobat is usually always worth kept alive) against your enemy team (although this doesn't mean you can randomly sac your Pokémon). This team has differnt win conditions depending on the enemy team. Figuring out what Pokémon you need the most in a given match is something very important to do. Most of the times I try to go for a Mienshao sweep, taking out Ghosts, Psychics and GLIGAR before locking myself into HJK and smash everything with THE KNEE (insert Cpt. Falcon cameo here "YESZ!"). But sometimes I find myself facing 5 Fighting resists, which basically means that this team has always to be wary of knowing what Pokémon is needed the most in a certain situation. But I guess you could say that to any given team >_>. It'd be best if I quoted Kokoloko's most recent RMT.

I can use the shortcode [pageviews] to do that, but it only shows the last 30 days. Is there a way to call it directly using php code?
Can I call the total pageviews over the last few years for a page on my website?
Can I call the total visits over the last few years for a page on my website?

It's time to dispel the myth that organically grown food is more expensive than food grown with pesticides. Consider this: Conventional food prices don't reflect hidden costs borne by taxpayers. These may include federal subsidies, pesticide regulation and testing, hazardous waste disposal and cleanup, environmental damage, and social costs such as health care. When you buy organic food in bulk (meaning less packaging and waste) or when it is on sale, locally grown, and in season, it is usually comparable in price to conventionally grown foods. And yes—often cheaper!
The following chart compares prices for conventional foods at a Super One store in Duluth, Minnesota, to the price for the same or similar items from the Whole Foods Coop store in Duluth. Organic foods were all certified. Prices were checked in February and May of 2001.
