The Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup, is an annual knockout cup competition in English football and is the oldest association football competition in the world.[1] The FA Cup is organised by and named after the Football Association, its current sponsored name is the FA Cup with Budweiser.[2] A women's tournament is also held, known as the FA Women's Cup.
The FA Cup was first held in 1871–72. Entry is open to all teams who compete in the Premier League, the Football League and in Steps 1 to 5 of the FA National League System, as well as selected teams in Step 6.[3] This means that clubs of all standards compete, from the largest clubs in England and Wales down to amateur village teams. The tournament has become known for the possibility for "minnows" from the lower divisions to become "giant-killers" by eliminating top clubs from the tournament and even theoretically winning the Cup, although lower division teams rarely progress beyond the early stages. The qualification rounds and a system of byes mean that the very smallest and very biggest teams almost never meet.
Wigan Athletic are the current holders, after defeating Manchester City 1–0 to win the Cup for the first time.
The competition is a knockout tournament with pairings for each round drawn at random. There are no seeds and the draw for each round is not made until after the scheduled dates for the previous round (except for the Preliminary and First Qualifying Rounds which are drawn at the same time as the Extra Preliminary Round). The draw also determines which teams will play at home.
Each tie is played as a single leg. If a match is drawn, there is a replay, usually at the ground of the team who were away for the first game. Drawn replays are now settled with extra time and penalty shootouts; until the 1990s further replays would be played until one team was victorious. Some ties took as many as six matches to settle; in their 1975 campaign, Fulham played a total of 12 games over six rounds, which remains the most games played by a team to reach a final.[4] Replays were traditionally played three or four days after the original game, but from 1991–92 they were staged at least 10 days later on police advice. This led to penalty shoot-outs being introduced. Replays are no longer held for the semi-finals or final.
There are a total of 14 rounds in the competition – six qualifying rounds, followed by six "proper", plus the semi-finals and the final. The qualifying rounds are regionalised to reduce the travel costs for smaller non-league sides. The First and Second Rounds were also previously split into Northern and Southern sections, but this practice was ended after the 1997–98 competition.
The competition begins in August with the lowest-ranked clubs (those from level 9 and below of the league system), contesting the Extra Preliminary Round, followed by the Preliminary Round (when clubs from level 8 enter) and First Qualifying Round (level 7 clubs enter). Clubs in the Conference North and Conference South join in the Second Qualifying Round, and Conference Premier clubs join in the Fourth Qualifying Round.
The 32 winners from that round progress to the First Round (often called the First Round Proper). They are joined by the 48 clubs from League One and League Two. Finally, teams from the Premier League and Football League Championship enter at the Third Round Proper, at which point there are 64 teams remaining in the competition. The Sixth Round Proper is the quarter-final stage, at which point eight teams remain.
The FA Cup has a set pattern for when each round is played. Normally the First Round is played in mid-November, with the Second Round on one of the first two Saturdays in December. The third round is played on the first weekend in January, with the Fourth Round later in the month and Fifth Round in mid-February. The Sixth Round (or quarter-finals) traditionally occurs in early or mid March, with the semi-finals a month later.
The final is normally held the Saturday after the Premier League season finishes in May. The only seasons in recent times when this pattern was not followed were 1999–2000, when most rounds were played a few weeks earlier than normal as an experiment, and 2010–11 and 2012–13 when the FA Cup Final was played before the Premier League season had finished, to allow the stadium to be ready for the UEFA Champions League final.[5]
The draw for each of the "proper" rounds is unseeded and is broadcast live on television, usually taking place at the conclusion of live coverage of one of the games of the previous round. No teams are seeded in the qualifying round draws either, but the teams are grouped geographically in the qualifying rounds to reduce travel costs. Public interest is particularly high during the draw for the third round, which is where the top-ranked teams are added to the draw.
Eligible teams[edit]
All clubs in the Premier League and Football League are automatically eligible, and clubs in the next six levels of the English football league system are also eligible provided they have played in either the FA Cup, FA Trophy or FA Vase competitions in the previous season. Newly formed clubs, such as F.C. United of Manchester in 2005–06 and also 2006–07, may not therefore play in the FA Cup in their first season. All clubs entering the competition must also have a suitable stadium.
It is very rare for top clubs to miss the competition, although it can happen in exceptional circumstances. Defending holders Manchester United did not enter the 1999–2000 FA Cup, as they were already in the inaugural Club World Championship, with the club stating that entering both tournaments would overload their fixture schedule and make it more difficult to defend their Champions League and Premiership titles. The club claimed that they did not want to devalue the FA Cup by fielding a weaker side. The move benefited United as they received a two-week break and won the 1999–2000 league title by an 18-point margin, although they did not progress past the group stages of the Club World Cup. The withdrawal from the FA Cup, however, drew considerable criticism as this weakened the tournament's prestige and Sir Alex Ferguson later admitted his regret regarding their handling of the situation.[6][7][8]
Welsh sides that play in English leagues are eligible, although since the creation of the League of Wales there are only six clubs remaining: Cardiff City (the only non-English team to win the tournament, in 1927), Swansea City, Newport County, Wrexham, Merthyr Town and Colwyn Bay. In the early years other teams from Wales, Ireland and Scotland also took part in the competition, with Glasgow side Queen's Park losing the final to Blackburn Rovers in 1884 and 1885 before being barred from entering by the Scottish Football Association. In the 2013–14 season the first Channel Island club entered the competition when Guernsey F.C. competed for the first time.[9]
The number of entrants has increased greatly in recent years. In the 2004–05 season, 660 clubs entered the competition, beating the long-standing record of 656 from the 1921–22 season. In 2005–06 this increased to 674 entrants, in 2006–07 to 687, in 2007–08 to 731 clubs, and for the 2008–09 and 2009–10 competitions it reached 762.[10] The number has varied slightly but remained roughly stable since then, with 759 clubs participating in 2010–11, a record 763 in 2011–12 and 758 for 2012–13. By comparison, the other major English domestic cup, the League Cup, involves only the 92 members of the Premier League and Football League.
European qualification[edit]
The FA Cup winners qualify for the following season's UEFA Europa League (formerly named the UEFA Cup; until 1998 they entered the Cup Winners' Cup instead). This European place applies even if the team is relegated or is not in the English top flight. However, if the FA Cup winning team has also qualified for the following season's Champions League, then the losing FA Cup finalist is given the Europa League place instead. FA Cup winners enter the Europa League at the Group Stage. Losing finalists, if they enter the Europa League, must begin earlier, at the play-off or Q3 stage.[11] From the 2015/16 season, UEFA will not allow the runners-up to qualify for the Europa League through the competition.[12]
The FA Cup winners also qualify for the single-match FA Community Shield against the Premier League Champions.
Matches in the FA Cup are usually played at the home ground of one of the two teams. The team who plays at home is decided when the matches are drawn. There is no seeding system in place within rounds other than when teams enter the competition, therefore the home team is simply the first team drawn out for each fixture. Occasionally games may have to be moved to other grounds due to other events taking place, security reasons or a ground not being suitable to host popular teams. In the event of a draw, the replay is played at the ground of the team who originally played away from home, with extra time and a penalty shoot-out deciding the winner if the replay game also ends in a tie.
In the days when multiple replays were possible, the second replay (and any further replays) were played at neutral grounds. The clubs involved could alternatively agree to toss for home advantage in the second replay.
Traditionally, the FA Cup Final was played at London's Wembley Stadium. Early finals were played in other locations and, due to extensive redevelopment of Wembley, finals between 2001 and 2006 were played at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. The final returned to Wembley in May 2007.[13] Early finals venues include Kennington Oval, in 1872 and 1874–92, the Racecourse Ground, Derby in 1886, Fallowfield Stadium, Manchester in 1893, Goodison Park in 1894, Burnden Park for the 1901 replay, Bramall Lane in 1912, the Crystal Palace Park, 1895–1914, Stamford Bridge 1920–22, and Lillie Bridge, Fulham, London in 1873. In more recent times the memorable 1970 final replay between Leeds and Chelsea was held at Old Trafford in Manchester. This was the only time between 1923 and 2000 that the FA Cup final or the FA Cup Final replay was held at a stadium other than Wembley.
The semi-finals were traditionally contested at high-capacity neutral venues; usually the home grounds of teams not involved in that semi-final. It was common for these venues to be roughly equidistant between the two teams for fairness of travel. Venues used since 1990 include Manchester City's now demolished Maine Road stadium, Manchester United's Old Trafford Stadium, Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium, Arsenal's former home, Highbury (since redeveloped as housing), London's Wembley Stadium, the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and Aston Villa's Villa Park in Birmingham. Villa Park is the most used stadium, with 55 semi-finals. The 1991 semi-final between Arsenal and Tottenham was the first to be played at Wembley, as were both 1993, 1994 and 2000 semi-finals. In 2005, both were held at the Millennium Stadium. The decision to hold the semi-finals at the same location as the final can be controversial amongst fans[14] However, starting with the 2008 cup, all semi-finals are played at Wembley; the stadium was not ready for the 2007 semi-finals. For a list of semi-final results and the venues used, see FA Cup Semi-finals.
At the end of the final, the winning team is presented with a trophy, known as the "FA Cup", which they hold until the following year's final. Traditionally, at Wembley finals, the presentation is made at the Royal Box, with players, led by the captain, mounting a staircase to a gangway in front of the box and returning by a second staircase on the other side of the box. At Cardiff the presentation was made on a podium on the pitch.
The cup is decorated with ribbons in the colours of the winning team, but during the game the cup actually has both teams' sets of ribbons attached and the runners-up ribbons are removed before the presentation. This tradition was ended by the Football Association in 2013 at the behest of an American brewery which was sponsoring the competition that year, when the winners, Wigan Athletic, were presented with a trophy dressed in sky blue and red ribbons bearing the sponsor's name and logo, rather than their club colours of royal blue and white. Individual members of the teams playing in the final are presented with winners and runners-up medals. The present FA Cup trophy is the fourth.
The first, the 'little tin idol', was used from the inception of the Cup in 1871–72 until it was stolen from a Birmingham shoe shop window belonging to William Shillcock while held by Aston Villa on 11 September 1895, and was never seen again. The FA fined Villa £25 to pay for a replacement. Almost 60 years later, the thief admitted that the cup had been melted down to make counterfeit half-crown coins.[15]
The second trophy was a replica of the first, and was last used in 1910 before being presented to the FA's long-serving president Lord Kinnaird. It was sold at Christie's on 19 May 2005 for £420,000 (£478,400 including auction fees and taxes) to David Gold, the then joint chairman of Birmingham City. Gold has loaned this trophy to the National Football Museum which is now based in Manchester and it is on permanent display to the public.
A new, larger, trophy was bought by the FA in 1911 designed and manufactured by Fattorini's of Bradford and won by Bradford City in its first outing. This trophy still exists but is now too fragile to be used, so an exact replica was made by Toye, Kenning and Spencer[16] and has been in use since the 1992 final. A "backup" trophy was made alongside the existing trophy in 1992, but it has not been used so far, and will only be used if the current trophy is lost, damaged or destroyed. A smaller, but otherwise identical replica was also made by Fattorini, the North Wales Coast FA Cup trophy, and is contested annually by members of that regional Association.
Though the FA Cup is the oldest domestic football competition in the world, its trophy is not the oldest; the oldest trophy for a national competition is the Scottish Cup, which was first presented in 1874. An even older trophy still in existence is the Youdan Cup, made for a one-off competition in Sheffield in 1867.
In 1914 Burnley F.C. won the cup and received unique medals incorrectly struck as "English Cup Winners". One is displayed at Turf Moor, within the 1914 collection.
Since the start of the 1994–95 season, the FA Cup has been sponsored. However, to protect the identity of the competition, the sponsored name has always included 'The FA Cup' in addition to the sponsor's name, unlike sponsorship deals for the League Cup where the word 'cup' is preceded by only the sponsor's name. Sponsorship deals run for four years, though – as in the case of E.ON – one-year extensions may be agreed.
Below is a list of sponsors and the sponsored name of the competition:
Period | Sponsor | Name |
1871–1994 | No main sponsor | The FA Cup |
1994–1998 | Littlewoods Pools | The FA Cup sponsored by Littlewoods[17] |
1998–2002 | AXA | The AXA-Sponsored FA Cup[18] |
2002–2006 | No main sponsor | The FA Cup |
2006–2011 | E.ON | The FA Cup sponsored by E.ON[19][20] |
2011–2014 | Budweiser | The FA Cup with Budweiser[21] |
From August 2006 to 2013, Umbro supplied match balls for all FA Cup matches. Since March 2013, Nike has supplied the official match ball.[22]
The FA Cup has a long tradition of lower-ranked teams becoming "giant-killers" by defeating opponents from a higher level.[23] Linked to this giant-killing is the progression of small teams through the Cup, to later rounds than they would expect to reach.
Giant-killing victories on various scales happen every year; it is considered particularly newsworthy when a top Premier League team suffers an upset defeat, or where the giant-killer is from outside The Football League. The most recent example of a non-league team (Levels 5 through 10) beating top-flight opposition is Level 5 Conference Premier side Luton Town's victory over Level 1 Premier League's Norwich City at Carrow Road in the 2012–13 Fourth Round Proper.[24] In games between league sides, one of the most notable results was the 1992 victory by Wrexham, 92nd/last in the previous season's league, over reigning league champion Arsenal. One analysis of four years of FA Cup results showed that it was 99.85 per cent likely that at least one team would beat one from a higher division in a given year. The probability drops to 48.8 per cent for a two-division gap, and 39.28 per cent for a three-division gap.[25]
Almost every club in the League Pyramid has a fondly remembered "giant-killing" act in its history. Some small clubs gain a reputation for being "cup specialists" after two or more such feats within a few years.[25] Yeovil Town holds the record for the most victories over league opposition as a non-league team, having recorded 20 wins through the years before it achieved promotion into The Football League.[26] The record for a club which has never entered The Football League is held by Altrincham, with 16 league scalps.
The Football League was founded in 1888, 16 years after the first FA Cup competition. Since the creation of The Football League, Tottenham Hotspur is the only non-league "giant-killer" to win the Cup, taking the 1901 FA Cup with a victory over reigning league runner-up Sheffield United. Other than Tottenham's non-league victory, the FA Cup has only seen 24 finalists from outside English football's top division – all from Level 2 – with a record of 7 wins and 17 runners-up.
For non-league teams, reaching the Third Round Proper – where all Level 1 sides now enter – is considered a major achievement. In the 2008–09 FA Cup, a record nine non-league teams achieved this feat.[27] Since 1945, only seven non-league team have reached the Fifth Round Proper (final 16),[28] and none have progressed to the Sixth Round (final 8) – although the 1977–78 FA Cup saw fully amateur team Blyth Spartans take the fully professional side Wrexham to a Fifth Round replay, only to lose 2–1.
Chasetown, whilst playing at Level 8 of English football during the 2007–08 competition, are the lowest-ranked team to play in the Third Round Proper (final 64, of 731 teams entered that season). Chasetown was then a member of the Southern League Division One Midlands (a lower level within the Southern Football League), when they lost to Football League Championship (Level 2) team Cardiff City, the eventual runner-up that FA Cup year.[29] Their success earned the lowly organization over £60,000 in prize money.
Notable events in the FA Cup[edit]
FA Cup winners and finalists[edit]
Three clubs have won consecutive FA Cups on more than one occasion: Wanderers (1872, 1873 and 1876, 1877, 1878), Blackburn Rovers (1884, 1885, 1886 and 1890, 1891), and Tottenham Hotspur (1961, 1962 and 1981, 1982).
Seven clubs have won the FA Cup as part of a League and Cup double, namely Preston North End (1889), Aston Villa (1897), Tottenham Hotspur (1961), Arsenal (1971, 1998, 2002), Liverpool (1986), Manchester United (1994, 1996, 1999) and Chelsea (2010).
In 1993, Arsenal became the first side to win both the FA Cup and the League Cup in the same season when they beat Sheffield Wednesday 2–1 in both finals. Liverpool (in 2001) and Chelsea (in 2007) have since repeated this feat. In 2012, Chelsea accomplished a different cup double consisting of the FA Cup and the 2012 Champions League.
In 1998–99, Manchester United added the 1999 Champions League crown to their league and cup double. Two years later, in 2000–01, Liverpool won the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup to complete a cup treble.
Portsmouth have the curious accolade of holding the FA Cup for the longest unbroken period of time; having won the Cup in 1939, the next final was not contested until 1946, due to the outbreak of the Second World War.
The FA Cup has only been won by a non-English team once. Cardiff City achieved this in 1927 when they beat Arsenal in the final at Wembley. They had previously made it to the final only to lose to Sheffield United in 1925, and lost another final to Portsmouth in 2008. Cardiff City also is the only team to win the national cups of two different countries in the same season, having also won the Welsh Cup in 1927. The Scottish team Queen's Park reached and lost the final in both 1884 and 1885.
Winners from outside the top division[edit]
Since the foundation of the Football League, Tottenham Hotspur in 1901 have been the only non-league winners of the FA Cup. They were then playing in the Southern League and were elected to the Football League only in 1908. At that time the Football League consisted of two 18-team divisions.
In the history of the FA Cup, only eight teams who were playing outside the top level of English football have gone on to win the competition, the most recent being West Ham United, who beat Arsenal in 1980. With the exception of Tottenham in 1901, these clubs were all playing in the old Second Division. No other Third Division or lower side has won the trophy or even reached the final since the Football League was founded.
One of the most notable upsets in the final occurred when Sunderland beat Leeds United 1–0 in 1973. That season, Leeds finished third in the First Division, while Sunderland were in the Second Division.[30] Three years later, Second Division Southampton also won the Cup, when they beat First Division Manchester United by the same 1–0 scoreline. The other Second Division winners of the FA Cup are Notts County in 1894; Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1908; Barnsley in 1912; and West Bromwich Albion in 1931. West Bromwich Albion are the only team to have won the FA Cup and promotion from the Second Division in the same season.
The FA Cup final has never been contested by two teams from outside the top division. Uniquely, in 2007–08 three of the four semi-finalists (Barnsley, Cardiff City and West Bromwich Albion), were from outside the top division, although the single Premier League team remaining, Portsmouth, went on to win the competition that year.[31]
Media coverage[edit]
The FA Cup Final is one of 10 events reserved for live broadcast on UK terrestrial television under the Ofcom Code on Sports and Other Listed and Designated Events.
In the early years of coverage the BBC had exclusive radio coverage with a picture of the pitch marked in the Radio Times with numbered squares to help the listener follow the match on the radio. The first FA Cup Final on Radio was in 1926 between Bolton Wanderers and Manchester City but this was only broadcast to in Manchester, the first national final on BBC Radio was between Arsenal and Cardiff in 1927. The first final on BBC Television was in 1937 in a match which featured Sunderland and Preston North End but this was not televised in full. The following seasons final between Preston and Huddersfield was covered in full by the BBC. When ITV was formed in 1955 they shared final coverage with the BBC in one of the only club matches shown live on television, during the 1970s and 1980s coverage became more elaborate with BBC and ITV trying to steal viewers from the others by starting coverage earlier and earlier some starting as early as 9am which was 6 hours before kick off. Nowadays this continues with Setanta and ESPN having all day broadcasts from Wembley but terrestrial TV coverage usually begins 2 hours before kick off. The sharing of rights between BBC and ITV continued from 1955 to the 1988 FA Cup Final when ITV lost coverage to the new Sports Channel which later became Sky Sports.
From 1988 to 1997, the BBC and Sky Sports had coverage of the FA Cup, the BBC had highlights on Match of the Day and usually one match per round while Sky had the same deal. From 1997 to 2001, ITV and Sky shared live coverage with both having two matches per round and BBC continuing with highlights on Match of the Day. From 2002 to 2008, BBC and Sky again shared coverage with BBC having two or three matches per round and Sky having one or two. From 2008–09 to 2013–14, FA Cup matches are shown live by ITV across England and Wales, with UTV broadcasting to Northern Ireland but STV refusing to show them. ITV shows 16 FA Cup games per season, including the first pick of live matches from each of the first to sixth rounds of the competition, plus one semi-final exclusively live. The final is also shown live on ITV. Under the same 2008 contract, Setanta Sports showed three games and one replay in each round from round three to five, two quarter-finals, one semi-final and the final. The channel also broadcast ITV's matches exclusively to Scotland, after the ITV franchise holder in Scotland, STV, decided not to broadcast FA Cup games. Setanta entered administration in June 2009 and as a result the FA terminated Setanta's deal to broadcast FA-sanctioned competitions and England internationals.[32] As a result of Setanta going out of business ITV showed the competition exclusively in the 2009–10 season with between three and four matches per round, all quarter finals, semi finals and final live as the FA could not find a pay tv broadcaster in time. ESPN bought the competition for the 2010–11 to 2012–13 season and during this time Rebecca Lowe became the first women to host the FA Cup Final in the UK.
In October 2009, The FA announced that ITV would show an additional match in the First and Second Rounds on ITV, with one replay match shown on ITV4. One match and one replay match from the first two rounds will broadcast on The FA website for free, in a similar situation to the 2010 World Cup Qualifier between Ukraine and England.[33] The 2009–10 First Round match between Oldham Athletic and Leeds United was the first FA Cup match to be streamed online live.[34]
Many[who?] expected BSkyB to make a bid to show some of the remaining FA Cup games for the remainder of the 2009–10 season which would include a semi-final and shared rights to the final.[35] ESPN took over the package Setanta held for the FA Cup from the 2010–11 season.[36] The 2011 final was also shown live on Sky 3D in addition to ESPN (who provided the 3D coverage for Sky 3D) & ITV.[37] Following the sale of ESPN's UK and Ireland channels to BT, ESPN's rights package transferred to BT Sport from the 2013–14 season.[38]
BBC Radio 5 Live provides radio coverage including several full live commentaries with additional commentaries broadcast on BBC local radio stations, talksport also hold rights from the 2012–13 season.
Until the 2008–09 season, the BBC and Sky Sports shared television coverage, with the BBC showing three matches in the earlier rounds. Some analysts argued the decision to move away from the Sky and, in particular, the BBC undermined the FA Cup in the eyes of the public.[39]
The FA Cup 2008–09 early rounds were covered for the first time by ITV's online service, ITV Local. The first match of the competition, between Wantage Town and Brading Town, was broadcast live online. Highlights of eight games of each round were broadcast as catch up on ITV Local.[40][41] Since ITV Local closed, this coverage did not continue.
ITV lost the rights to the FA Cup beginning with the 2014–15 FA Cup, terrestrial rights will return to BBC Sport, with the final being shown on BBC One while BT Sport hold the pay TV rights. Under this deal, the BBC will show around the same amount of games as ITV and still having the first pick for each round.[42]
The FA sells overseas rights separately from the domestic contract. In Australia, FA Cup games from the First Round to the Semi-finals are broadcast exclusively by ESPN Australia, and the final is co-broadcast with SBS. Due to Australian anti-siphoning laws, the FA Cup Final is on a list of sporting events, that must first be offered to national television broadcasters and commercial free-to-air television broadcasters before rights can be acquired by a subscription television broadcaster. Starting in 2012–13, Fox Sports United States will feature the FA Cup games split between Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, Fox Soccer Plus, and the broadcast Fox network, with the Final being on Fox (though subject to local pre-emption or tape-delay). Supersport broadcasts the tournament in Africa, and ESPN STAR in India.

When do you consider epilepsy drug resistant? - Answer
Answer:MRI is superior to CT in detecting patients with focal seizures. In addition, in patients with epilepsy, the initial EEG is often normal. Mesial temporal sclerosis is a strong predictor of drug resistant focal seizures. Drug resistance is the failure of adequate trials of two tolerated, appropriately chosen and used AED drug schedules1. Febrile seizures in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy are a common risk factor for temporal lobe epilepsy. The AED choices in this case were favorable for a female of child-bearing potential, though after 2 drug failures the risk for relapse is high despite an initial success2. Right temporal lobectomy resulted in prolonged seizure freedom. References

In the northwest corner of Collin County, Celina was settled in 1879. John T. Mulkey, Celina's first postmaster, named the town after his hometown, Celina, Tenn. When a railway came through the area in 1902, the town moved one mile north to its current location to be closer to the tracks. In 1915, Celina became the site of the first road in the country built exclusively for automobiles—the Celina Pike.
Today, this community north of Dallas is growing but retains its small-town feel. The historic downtown plaza, at Walnut Street and Ohio Street, features a war memorial, shops and restaurants. Founder's Station Park downtown offers a playground, picnic area, gazebo and tennis courts. The Celina Balloon Festival and Family Fun Day is held in October.

- Cook the linguine following the pack instructions, then drain quickly so some cooking water is still clinging to the strands.
- Tip back into the cooking pan with the grated courgettes, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, chillies and most of the basil. Season generously, then use tongs to toss everything together. Scatter with remaining basil leaves and add an extra drizzle of oil, if you like.

This has just been polished off by my 14 and 12 year old children who claim to loathe courgettes! My son thought it a bit bland but was happy with a little extra fresh lemon juice squeezed over. I thought it was a lovely subtle flavour, but used plenty of basil and ended up adding a little extra chilli to mine. Will definitely make it again.

Car accident
On 10 August 2006, Heechul was involved in a car accident while heading back to Seoul from Mokpo after attending the funeral of fellow Super Junior member Donghae's father. The tires malfunctioned while his car attempted to switch lanes. Heechul fractured his left leg in five places, including his femur, knee, and ankle, requiring him to be in surgery for six hours. He also sustained other injuries, including a tear in his tongue which required stitches.
Heechul was advised to stop all activities for a period of twelve weeks. He was released from the hospital on 13 September 2006 but he continued to receive out-patient care. He returned to the hospital to have a second surgery to remove some of the iron rods in his leg on October 10 and briefly returned to work in late October to film the final three episodes of an MBC youth sitcom while still in a cast and on a wheelchair. He made his comeback on 25 November of the same year during the Mnet KM Music Festival (MKMF) Awards. In late December Heechul officially returned to individual activities such as variety show appearances and hosting appearances.
In 2007, Heechul started to perform regularly despite still having a few rods that the doctors had attached to his leg. In late April and May 2007, he had recovered enough to be able to take part in Super Junior's strenuous dance routines. The remaining rods in his leg were removed in 2008.

Do you have any recommendations on what variations you would make to the Arcane Orb build for Hard Core players? Here is my current build on my Hardcore Wizardhttp://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Hotiedethknt-1846/hero/39351012.
Also, do you have any recommendations on what the better value for spending Paragon points for Core, Offensive, Defensive and Utility. For example do you know of any theory crafting on say the importance of Attack speed vs CC or CD?
**Edit** Well the Wizard died in a group of 4 Wizards doing Torement 1 in Act 3 thanks to a 45 second lag spike right when we engaged a elite with arcane. My friends were unable to save me when several arcane beams were tearing me apart. ***

posted a message on I have played HC exclusively for several months now. I have lost over 200 levels of Paragon Characters to HC Deaths. Most of those deaths are related to either playing solo or having game freeze, and client and or server disconnects.Posted in: Hardcore Discussion
I also have a Paragon 100 Monk, 84 Monk, 43 WD, 35 Barb, 1 DH all on HC. My simple rule sis if you playing your Main Character:
- USE RAID CALL or Ventrilo... Raidcall is free!!!
- Try to meet friends and Play with them, and get them in a Raid call or Ventrillo. That way they can help protect you if you are hit with a lag spike.
- Minimum 60 K Life closer to 80K better
- Minimum 550 Resist All before buffs like Barb Shout and Monk Time of Need.
- Use the GET OUT OF JAIL (Death) FREE CARD passives.like Spirit Vessel (WD), Near Death Experience (Monk).
- Under 100k DPS get Life on Hit weapons or gear. Over 100K DPS get a LS on 1 or both weapons, and if needed Barbs Mighty Belt.
- Make your BoA Gear as soon as possible at level 60. Bracers and Shoulders first they are the easiest to get decent to good rolls. Pick atleast 1 of those spots to be Vitality either Bracers, or Shoulders. Gloves are also a good choice at Vitality.
I just lost a Paragon 46 Wizard last week that had over 300 million in gear to playing Solo MP5 which I have been tearing up solo when Diablo crashes me server side since I was unable to keep Arcane Beaming down creatures. Died to 2 or 3 stupid Skeleton Archers, my Scoundrel with a Burizza was also unable to freeze them. It took over 30 seconds for the game to disconnect me.
I switched to HC because I got bored with SC after I got a Barbarian to Paragon 100 running MP0 Alk runs and then a Monk to Paragon 60 running MP0 before the Monster density packs.
Hope this information helps you can check out my characters at:http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Hotiedethknt-1846/
posted a message on He had his 21st birthday in the past few days so he has been offline. But he normally starts up between 8am and 9 am PST I believe or atleast that is when I have it seen it begin.Posted in: Hardcore Discussion
posted a message on The biggest problem with WW right now is the rubber banding and the near Disconnect that you get every now and then. I just lost my Paragon 18 Barb yesterday to this, I have also lost a few others to the same problem. What basically happens is you loose about 3 to 10 seconds of WW through and around creatures but you are doing no damage. But the entire time the creatures are doing damage to you. I normally potion after a 1 or 2 seconds of this happening and that most of the time works. But not yesterday I was in Act 3 Rakkis Crossing (right in front of the door with the injured guard crawling out), when I started rubber banding. I potioned my screen went from red (low life) to half life, then I started again doing no damage, and I died after about 10 seconds of doing no damage to creatures. I died to about 5 of those fire ball demon bird things (non elites).Posted in: Hardcore Discussion
my d3up profile was http://d3up.com/b/895588/hcdamdcgotme
I am in the process of leveling again and debating if I want to even mess with WW. I am trying to figure out if the problem skill is WW (hurricane) or the Sprint (Run like the Wind). -
posted a message on My advise would be to go a bit offensive with defensive passive and a build that will kill things quickly. I really like my current build and with my DPS and Life and Resistance I can easily kill MP1 ACT 1, and I have done MP3 act 1 easily also. With my current gear from d3up.com puts my dps at 82k and my EHP at 521K. I use Rend as my extra damage boost as I WW into a group of white creatures and let my tornados and WW finish off packs then sprint to the next group of creatures. On MP1 I do not need Wrath to kill elites but I like to have it available to me for the nasty packs of like waller, electricity, arcane, reflect, etc. I think the mistake I made with my prior Barbarians is not having the passive Nerves of Steel for the extra Armor and EHP.Posted in: Hardcore Discussion
Take a look at my build if you would like at http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Hotiedethknt-1846/hero/34519848 and my D3up.com profile is http://d3up.com/b/827982. My build is easily made into a 2 hand build with Skorn I just prefer the Duel wield for it fills smoother for me with the faster attack speed. I like my weapons of the Bul-Kathos since they are good on LoH and LS and are a lot cheaper then alot of the other weapons like Echo Fury.
I also use the Templar with the regen of fury ability also helps alot.
Hope you find the information helpful. -
posted a message on My Archon wizard dinged 60 last night and I am enjoying Archon but I am very squishy. What changes can I do in my build to give me more survivability. Also what recommendations do you have for me to change my gear around? I do have a Zuni Ring in stash but it is less sheat dps and life from the 2 rare rings I have. The Zuni ring has the following stats (9 max dmg, 95str, 84 dex, 88 int, 66 AR, 33 CD). I am also have a bid on a Zuni Boots or I was thinking of buying one if I do not win the current one i am bidding on.Posted in: Wizard: The Ancient Repositories
I realize I have very little life and I am working on getting more purple gems and tomes to make better gems. My profile can be found at http://d3up.com/b/807630/hcguessidied. Currently I have a star emerald in the Echoing fury but I was going to change that out to a Star Ruby.
Any suggestions on gear and build would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer not to take gear from my WD that is my main cash cow for farming mp1 and 2. Her link is at http://d3up.com/b/775361
Oh currently have about 8 Million gold if I do not win the Zuni boots.
Thank you.
**Edit I won the Zuni boots and have them equiped. -
posted a message on thanks guys for the feedback I appreciate it for something for me to consider.Posted in: Hardcore Discussion
posted a message on I have heard people grief people and try to kill others on HC in public games, is this true? I was curious with the new buff to Multi player games how safe are they for HC toons on MP1. My barb is now level 20 and has 5 piece IK set so I don't want to take a chance of being PK'd.Posted in: Hardcore Discussion
ps. Battletag is listed any gear advise would be greatly appreciated have about 3.5 mil to spend. -

Interested in Companies threshold for bidding process
I am interested in benchmarking Companies threshold for bidding process.
For instance, for a company with $10B annual revenue at what $ amount would require one quote, two quotes, and at what $'s for formal bidding process begin? Would bid above $1M be subjected to special requirements, (control group etc.). We are doing a study here at EmblemHealth on our contracting/bidding processes. |
Threshold to quotes and bidding process
the answer to your question is, that it all depends on the category of item, & your objective what are you trying to achieve, plus the type of business & procurement stategy, i.e. if you were buying for Dell and the item was low value but critical part or component, you would not rely on quotation which are short term and might not support your long term requirements, even if the total aggregate value of that spend is within 5 or 6 digits. Similarly if you were soliciting a technical service or support contract you would need a proper RFP depending on the complexity of the requirement with SLA etc. Procurement strategy is based on your business requirements and objectives, never on just $ thresholds. Again this differs in each geographic region in some countries the laws are complex i.e. a RFQ can create contract A and many a times there are court cases challenging the bid allocations. So remember Solicitations are only a tool and has to be used based on many factors that includes your procurement strategic objectives. regards Kay |

Open source laptop tracking and recovery
If you use a laptop, you have a good chance of having it lost or stolen. Learn about Adeona, a reliable open source system that can help you locate your lost or stolen laptop.
If you search on the term "laptop" at the DATALOSS db site [1], you'll see announcements such as "160,000 notified that personal information is on stolen laptop" or "Social Security numbers and names of about 60,000 on stolen laptops."
This same search at The Data Breach Blog [2] will produce additional shock thanks to headlines like "Laptops stolen from TSA contractor contain personal information of 3,930" or "Stolen laptop contains personal data of 800,000 Gap job applicants."
Other recent news headlines have included the loss of PII (Personally Identifiable Information) for 190,000 employees on stolen Anheuser-Busch laptops, or a Stanford laptop containing data concerning 72,000 current or former employees.
Ponemon Institute conducted a study in July 2008 on behalf of Dell that determined that 800,000 laptop are misplaced by users each year as they pass through airports [3], a number that used to describe all laptop thefts globally. Even more significant is the fact that approximately half of the professionals surveyed for the Ponemon study admitted that they carry confidential company information.
Ultimately, this study indicates that approximately 63-million laptops were purchased worldwide in 2008. If we use the commonly assumed estimate that one in ten laptops are stolen each year, and 20 percent are lost or misplaced, then no fewer than 6,300,000 laptops ended up in the wrong hands last year.
Consider these statistics and then think about this: If you use a laptop, you stand a very good chance of losing it or having it stolen. Furthermore, FBI statistics indicate that as few as 2 percent of lost or stolen laptops will ever be recovered.
Adeona [4] is the private, reliable, open source system for tracking the location of your lost or stolen laptop. With no dependency on a proprietary, central service, Adeona only needs to be installed on your laptop to help increase your sense of mobile device safekeeping. Additionally, Adeona ensures your privacy via advanced cryptographic methodology, allowing only the owner – or the owner's agent – to use the system to track a lost or stolen laptop.
Adiona [5], the Roman goddess of safe returns, lends her name to this remarkable open source offering. If you treat your laptop as your child, you'll appreciate knowing that Adiona is believed to watch over children and bring them home safely, and also to protect travelers.
Adeona utilizes the open source OpenDHT [6] (distributed hash table) distributed storage service to store location updates sent from the Adeona client you install on your laptop, which continually monitors the current location of your laptop and gathers data such as IP addresses and local network topology that is used to identify its current location. Again, keep in mind that the Adeona client then uses strong cryptographic methodology to encrypt the location data and ensure that the ciphertexts stored with the OpenDHT service are anonymous and unlinkable, while also making it is easy for a laptop owner to retrieve location information.
In this article, I'll start with Adeona installation and retrieval, and then I'll look at the science behind the system.
Do not attempt to recover your lost or stolen laptop yourself. If you think your laptop has been stolen, contact the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Regardless of your operating system, Adeona installation is straightforward. According to the online Adeona installation notes, it has been built and tested on multiple Linux flavors including Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, and even the XO laptop (One Laptop per Child). I conducted installations on Ubuntu systems; be sure to check for dependencies: OpenSSL, traceroute, cron, and the optional iwconfig. To install Adeona, run:
$ tar xzf adeona-0.2.1.tar.gz $ cd adeona/ $ ./configure $ sudo make install
By default, the installer script will install Adeona in /usr/local/adeona. To make sure it runs during system startup, the Adeona client program relies on cron:
$ sudo crontab -e
This command will open root's crontab file so you can add the entry for the Adeona client. Note that the install script will print out the necessary crontab entry so you can just copy and paste it. Be sure you add this crontab entry for Adeona, otherwise the client will not run the next time you reboot.
The crontab entry for Adeona is comprised of:
@reboot $INSTALLDIR/adeona-client .exe -s $INSTALLDIR/adeona-clientstate.cst -r $INSTALLDIR/ resources/ -l $INSTALLDIR/logs/ &
The trailing ampersand (&) is necessary to prevent the parent /bin/sh from lingering while the client is running. Although I did not test an installation on a 64-bit system, there are some compatibility issues that are resolved by compiling with the -m32 flag, which is easily achieved by locating the CFLAGS variable in the Makefile and adding the -m32 flag to it.
On some Debian-based systems, you might need 32-bit versions of the required libraries via getlibs (for example, getlibs -l libcrypto.a). Errors you might encounter could result from an absence of the C libraries or OpenSSL routines and headers. Resolve these via:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
After agreeing to the terms of the GPL (and assuming all dependencies are met), you'll be prompted for a password. To protect your location-finding credentials, please pick a password for Adeona; it does not need to be the same as your login password. Remember to add the Adeona crontab entry after committing your password.
Don't forget to make a backup copy of your location-finding credentials:
The installer drops a copy of adeona-retrievecredentials.ost on your Desktop. Next, email it to yourself, or better yet, put it on a portable memory device (USB, SD, etc.). If you must, write down the contents given that they are protected by the password you established during the installation process.
To help prevent timing attacks, Adeona utilizes pseudo-randomly scheduled updates. Thus, you might not be able to retrieve any location information as stored in OpenDHT until at least one hour after installation.
Because the necessary binaries are included in client installation packages, retrieval is very simple on all systems. Logic dictates, however, that you'll be conducting retrieval from a different system than the one on which you installed your original client.
After installation, retrieval is achieved via the following commands:
The command
$ADEONADIR/adeona-retrieve.exe -r $ADEONADIR/resources/ -l /path/to/results/ -s /path/to/your/adeona-retrievecredentials.ost -n 1
retrieves the most recent location given the encrypted location-finding credential file. Figure 1 shows retrieval on my test system. Had I not attempted retrieval so soon after installation on this particular system, I might have received results like Listing 1.
If I were a thief using this laptop at a coffee shop or a library, the laptop owner would likely retrieve a specific access point – an IP address that can be geo-located by law enforcement – and additional router data.
Adeona offers an additional feature for Mac users that takes advantage of the built-in iSight camera [7]. With isightcapture incorporated, the Mac OS X version of Adeona gives you the option to capture pictures of the laptop user or thief. Rest assured that images are also privacy-protected; only the laptop owner (or the owner's agent) can access them (Figure 2).
Listing 1
Retrieval example

Adeona outage due to OpenDHT
Adeona is currently not working because the back-end service (OpenDHT on PlanetLab) is proving to be unreliable. If you would like to help us, please subscribe to the adeona-developers mailing list and see this initial post. Users may wish to subscribe to adeona-users for announcements.
http://groups.google.com/gr.../thread/81aa1831d09517f7?pli=1 -
I bought the magazine for this article, When it didn't work I searched the web and found this post. I am not wasting any more time but unfortunately bookstores do not refund magazines for bad articles. -
Seriously - Do you guys test this stuff?
So, if you read the Adeona group message boards, you will discover that Adeona has not functioned for the past four to five months due to OpenDHT server issues. That said in the group discussion forum there are tons of people who say the software does not work, people who had had their laptop stolen and not able to recover data etc. I have installed this on several systems and found that low and behold it does not work when you try to retrieve data. I was pretty ticked off about it.
Then I get my Linux Mag and there is a review talking about how great it is. The problem is IT DOES NOT WORK. Did you guys actually test the software? Either this was written a long long time ago, or it was not tested at all.
