Neil Druckmann has provided an update on the development of the upcoming PS4 exclusive title, "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End." According to a report from Gamepur on July 27, the new creative director stated that the production of the sequel has been going well. Fans were initially concerned about the project due to the high-profile departures of Amy Hennig and Justin Richmond, the original directors.
Bruce Straley and the aforementioned Neil Druckmann were chosen as replacements. The two worked on the award-winning "The Last of Us," which came out last year on the PS3, along with the first two games from the "Uncharted" series. It is unknown how much the video game has changed when compared to the original vision.
Neil Druckmann did mention that Naughty Dog is going to be trying something new in regards to the story. A rumor hinted that the sequel is going to be darker when compared to the first three mainline games of the series. Players are reportedly going to play as Sir Francis Drake as well as the series' protagonist, Nathan Drake.
Finally, the creative director also believes that "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" is going to end up being one of the best looking games on the PS4. The proclamation does not seem to be far-fetched when considering that the first three games from the "Uncharted" series ended up being showcases of the visual capabilities of the PS3. Furthermore, the ICE Team, which focuses on creating new visual technologies for Sony Computer Entertainment's first-party studios, is located at Naughty Dog.
At E3 2014, the development team showed off a real-time trailer running at 60 frames a second in native 1080p for "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End." The end of the video indicated a release that the video game is coming out next year. You can find a screen capture from the trailer near the top of this article (courtesy of the Facebook account of Playstation).

Minutewomen Hold Off Late Toledo Surge, 73-61
Dec. 1, 2002
TOLEDO, Ohio. - The University of Massachusetts women's basketball team (3-1) started the game on a 14-1 run and never looked back en route to a 73-61 non-conference victory over the University of Toledo (2-1) this afternoon before 1,634 fans at Savage Hall.
The Minutewomen survived a barrage of Toledo three-pointers in the second half as the Rockets connected on nine (9-15). Tia Davis had four of them on six attempts. For the game, Toledo shot .394 (13-31) from downtown. The Rockets kept chipping away throughout the second half and were able to pull within eight points at the 1:13 mark on a Leah Gonnella three-pointer, but could not get any closer. UMass shot just .474 (9-19) from the charity stripe in the second half aiding Toledo's come-back effort.
Massachusetts started the game on a 14-1 run spanning the first 5:24. The Minutewomen led by 15 points at the 10:55 mark, but a 5-0 run by the Rockets cut their deficit to just 10 points. That it when the Minutewomen went on a 19-0 run over 7:06 ballooning their lead to 29 at 39-10. They shot .680 (17-25) in the half and took a 41-16 lead into the break. Toledo shot just .152 (5-33).
Senior Jennifer Butler (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and sophomore Katie Nelson (Ellicott City, Md.) each had 19 points for the game, including 12 in the first half. Nelson dished out five assists and played in all 40 minutes, while Butler grabbed 16 rebounds. Butler also had four assists and a steal.
Senior Nekole Smith (Ann Arbor, Mich.) scored 18 points including just her second career three-pointer. She also pulled down six rebounds. Junior Judit Zsedenyi (Budapest, Hungary) was 1-for-5 from behind the arc and has now made at least one trifecta in each of her four career games. Senior Ebony Pegues (Columbus, Ohio) scored seven points and added three rebounds and five assists.
The Minutewomen, who never trailed in this game, now improve to 3-1 overall this season. Toledo falls to 2-1. Massachusetts finished the game shooting .583 (28-48) from the field, while Toledo shot .317 (19-60), helped by the .519 (14-27) clip they shot at in the second half. The Minutewomen dominated on the boards, holding a 44-25 edge.
The Minutewomen return home to the William D. Mullins Center on Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2002, for a non-conference tilt with 2002 WNIT quarterfinalist Vermont. Tip-off is slated for 7:00 p.m.

Our 2nd annual casino night fundraiser will be held on September 16, 2016! Please CLICK HERE for tickets and more information. Thank you for your support!
Welcome to CARE!
We are Tallahassee's only non-profit organization that is dedicated to the rescue, treatment, and rehabilitation of sick and injured companion animals. We constantly have new pets up for adoption so be sure to check with us regularly for new pets.
We are here because we CARE.
We are here to provide medical and surgical care to sick and injured companion animals that would otherwise be euthanized without this care.
We are here to promote life.
While there are several rescue groups and one local shelter, with the exception of one small, limited in-house program at a local veterinary hospital, CARE is the only organization with the sole mission to target this unique and undervalued population. CARE was founded in direct response to this need and to help abate the overwhelming number of euthanized animals at the local shelter.
We are here to promote the education of a healthier life for companion animals.
By working closely with local veterinarians, we are able to provide the best possible medical care to every animal that enters our program. This means that each of our pets are fully vaccinated, micro-chipped, and are in the healthiest state possible when adopted out to their forever homes. This is the standard of pet care that we promote. Many of the events we participate in provide opportunities to educate the public about this standard of care that we expect from pet owners.

Secrets of Success
It's a GREAT Good Friday!
Friday, April 06, 2012
So many good, no GREAT things to be thankful for, not just this week but every week.
I am thankful that my family will be here on Sunday to celebrate Easter with us.
I am thankful that I feel like celebrating this year, more so than previous years. I feel like I have missed out on so much. My kids growing, my grandkids growing - all because I was too depressed, too ashamed, too disgusted with my own self to get involved in their lives and activities.
I am thankful that I took the initiative myself, to figure out what I needed to do to save myself. I have gone to the doctor every year, begging for help. And maybe they gave me the information that I needed but I wasn't listening. I was probably hoping for a miracle pill and didn't hear anything else when that wasn't available, I really can't say. All I know is that I am thankful that losing weight now, hopefully I will ward off any diseases that tend to run in my family like heart and diabetes, and cancer.
I am thankful that I feel more active. I just spent an hour outside planting around our "beach" at the pond. I just feel like doing more things myself around our home. I have planted a garden, I have been doing things that have been put off far too long.
I am thankful that one day I turned the TV from the Food Network and saw Dr. Oz. That set my wheels in motion. I then got the wheels in motion for my sister, who then led me to Sparkpeople. It took me a couple of months to come back around to SP. I thought I was doing fine on my own. It wasn't until I started tracking, that things began to really happen. I am so thankful, I have no idea what made me come back to SP to snoop around after 2 months, but I am so thankful that I did.
I am so thankful that I began my journey of food and learning and exploring and trying to figure out what we needed for our bodies. I am thankful this led me to discover primal/paleo, Primeo seems to be working great for me. It has shown me that really I just needed to get back to my roots, the way I was raised and the way I started raising my young family before LIfe got in the way.
I am thankful for all the friends and support that I have here at SP. It is so nice to have your own little cheering section, people that understand and support you, instead of trying to sabotage your efforts. I don't think real life people mean to necessarily, but sometimes I think subconsciously they feel like if they cant lose weight, then you shouldn't either, so Let's go get some cake & ice cream!
I am thankful for my children, my greatest accomplishment. They are wonderful human beings, I love them all and am so very proud of them. Even in my darkest times, which they may or may not be aware, they were always my shining lights of hope. I am still amazed when I look at them. The people they have turned into. Caring, loving individuals and I am so thankful that NONE of them have any weight issues. And I am thankful that I have learned things to share with them so that they never do. I am thankful every day that God gave these children to me though I never felt worthy. I am just so thankful that I did not screw it up. I am glad that I was able to share these gifts with the world in a positive way but I realize that I had so much help along the way. It really does take a village.
And last but not least, I am so very thankful for my husband. It is not our first rodeo but we have weathered the storms and he has stood by my side for almost 20 years. Sometimes he stands behind me, pushing me. Sometimes he stands in front of me to help pull me along. But I know that regardless, he is always there. I can't imagine my life or where I would be without him.
I just have so much to be thankful for. And I am just so thankful that I am getting my weight under control, and thankful for all the information and tools and resources available to help me accomplish my goals, so that I can fully enjoy all the blessings in my life.

Suppose that in a slot machine there are $n+1$ possible outcomes $A_1,\dots,A_{n+1}$ for a single play. A single play costs $\$1$. If outcome $A_i$ occurs, you win $a_i$, for $i=1,\dots,n$. If outcome $A_{n+1}$ occurs, you win nothing.
(c): The slot machine owner wishes to pay $da_i$ dollars when outcome $A_i$ occurs, where $a_i = 1/p_i$ and $d$ is a number between $0$ and $1$. The owner also wishes his or her expected profit to be $\$.05$ per play. (The player's expected profit is $-.05$ per play.) Find $d$ as a function of $n$ and $p_{n+1}$ . What is the value of $d$ if $n = 10$ and $p_{n+1} = .7$?
Great. So all the rules suddenly change for part (c), if I read it correctly. It is easy to derive the formula $$\sum^n_{i=1} \frac{d}{p_i}=0.95$$
My brain probably simply made a dumb short-circuit can't see how I can introduce $p_{n+1}$ into the expression...

I have Windows Server 2008 R2 running on a VirtualBox vm inside Mac OS X. I put it in "bridged mode" in hopes that it would receive an IP address through DHCP and become visible as an "attached device" to which I could forward HTTP traffic on port 80.
Indeed it has received a valid 192.168.x.x address and has the router's IP as a default gateway. But it does not show up at an "attached device" as do all other devices getting IP addresses from the router.
Am I doing something wrong here, or is this to be expected? Am I on the right track?
The router is a NetGear N150 Wireless Router, and I'm accessing it through the browser-based NetGear Smart Wizard.

We are in the height of the summer when tomato plants are beginning to sag under the weight of their treasures and squash vines have run rampant. It is a time when watering the vegetable garden is a regular ritual that we either love to put on our to do list or rush through to keep our plants healthy.
It is hard to tell when to water these days. We have had so much rain in and around Chicago and the rest of the Midwest lately, coupled by hot, dry spells. Neither of these things bodes well for a vegetable garden. The newest issue of Edible Landscaping with Charlie Nardozi, published by the National Gardening Association, focuses on vegetable garden watering.
The lead article is full of wonderful tips of how to tell when your garden needs water and charts out the most important times that each vegetable needs water for your best harvest. Check out the article - it will help you be a more successful gardener. I learned a lot!

Sonny Rollins: Dearly Beloved
Dearly Beloved
Sonny Rollins (tenor sax)
Our Man In Jazz ((RCA 74321 851602)
Sonny Rollins (tenor sax), Don Cherry (cornet), Bob Cranshaw (bass), Billy Higgins (drums).
Composed by Jerome Kern.
Recorded: Live at the Village Gate, New York, July 27-30, 1962
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
It's difficult to overstate the effect that Ornette Coleman had on Sonny Rollins. The always-critical Rollins was in self-imposed exile from the scene within months of hearing Coleman's "New Sound," only to emerge three years later with a new approach and a band featuring Coleman alums. On "Dearly Beloved," he pulls all the stops in a performance that exudes the spontaneity and intensity that mark all of his efforts from the period. Spurred by Rollins' infectious tenor, Higgins and Cranshaw segue from up-tempo swing to jaunty waltz-time at the subtlest turn of phrase, pushing Rollins and Cherry to breathtaking heights.

Books listed here are either by North Native American Indian authors or illustrators or both, including books that also feature non-Indian authors and Native illustrators. Where tribal affiliations are known, they are noted. Our intent is not to be all-inclusive but rather to highlight.
THE BIRCHBARK HOUSE by Louise Erdrich (Ojibway) (Hyperion, 1999). Touching on the same era as the Little House Books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, this first book in a planned trilogy is in some ways Erdrich's answer to the imbalance in the way Native-white relations have historically been portrayed in children's literature. Readers will be engaged by appealing protagonist, Omakayas, educated by this glimpse at Ojibway daily life, and perhaps inspired to look at history with an eye to different points of view. Elegant writing. This novel was a finalist for the 1999 National Book Award and a 2000 ALA Notable Book in Children's Literature. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Ages 8-up. Don't miss the companion novels, THE GAME OF SILENCE (HarperCollins, 2005) and THE PORCUPINE YEAR (HarperCollins, 2008).
DAUGHTER OF SUQUA by Diane Johnston Hamm (Whitman, 1997). Ida, a young Suqhamish girl, and her people are faced with allotment, boarding schools, and more harsh changes. But through it all, the relationships between this young girl and the people of her community, especially her grandmother, are truly inspiring. Ages 8-up.
DOVE DREAM by Hendle Rumbaut (Chickasaw) (Houghton Mifflin, 1994). In the summer of 1963, Eleanor "Dove" Derrysaw, age 13, is sent to live with her aunt in Kansas. Eleanor comes of age with her first romance, her first job, and a greater appreciation of her Chickasaw heritage while looking to her aunt's life for inspiration. Ages 8-up.
EAGLE SONG by Joseph Bruchac (Abenaki) with pictures by Dan Andreasen (Dial, 1997). Danny Bigtree encounters racism when he moves from the Mohawk reservation to the city. However, Danny is inspired by the Iroquois hero Aionwahta and by his own father to choose peace. Ages 7-up.
GUESTS by Michael Dorris (Modoc) (Hyperion, 1994). An exploration of an event analogous to the mythical "Thanksgiving" story, told from the point of view of a Native boy. Ages 7-up.
THE HEART OF A CHIEF by Joseph Bruchac (Abenaki) (Dial, 1998). Chris is an eleven year old Penacook (Abenaki) boy, living on a fictional reservation in New Hampshire. He is facing a new school, a possible new casino on a tribal island as well as his father's alcoholism and the issue of Indian sports mascots. Touches on mixed-race themes. Ages 8-up.
LONGWALKER'S JOURNEY: A NOVEL OF THE CHOCTAW TRAIL OF TEARS by Beatrice O. Harrell (Choctaw) (Dial, 1999). Minko Ushi and his family are part of the Choctaw removal, or Trail of Tears, from their ancestral land to Indian Territory. In this story Minko, his father, and a pony actually travel ahead of the rest and have various adventures along their way. Ages 8-up.
MORNING GIRL by Michael Dorris (Modoc) (Hyperion, 1992). It's 1492, and Morning Girl and her brother Star Boy are two very different children who are about to encounter whites for the first time. A Native twist on the "discovery" mythology. Winner of the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction. Ages 7-up.
OWL IN THE CEDAR TREE by Natachee Scott Momaday (Cherokee) and illustrated by Don Perceval (University of Nebraska Press, 1965). A break-through book featuring Navajo life in the middle of the twentieth century and a boy's relationship with his changing community and his love for a horse. Ages 7-up.
RAIN IS NOT MY INDIAN NAME by Cynthia Leitich Smith (Muscogee Creek)(HarperCollins, 2001). Cassidy Rain Berghoff didn't know that the very night she decided to get a life would be the night that Galen would lose his. It's been six months since her best friend died, and up until now, Rain has succeeded in shutting herself off from the world. But when controversy arises around her aunt Georgia's Indian Camp in their mostly white Kansas community, Rain decides to face the world again—at least through the lens of a camera. Ages 10-up.
SEES BEHIND TREES by Michael Dorris (Modoc) (Hyperion, 1996). Set in the sixteenth century, Walnut grows into his adult name and learns to cope with his limited vision. At its heart, a journey story. My favorite of the three, outstanding children's novels by Dorris. Ages 8-up.
SKELETON MAN by Joseph Bruchac (HarperCollins, 2001). Molly's parents are gone, vanished. She needs to find answers and a way to go on. But Molly has been taught well of her Mohawk traditions. She understands the importance of dreams. She knows to take them seriously. This very scary contemporary Native American novel is a must read and a scary one at that. Ages 10-up. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
WALKING THE CHOCTAW ROAD by Tim Tingle (Choctaw)(Cinto Puntos Press, 2003). Not a novel but a collection of Choctaw stories (contemporary, historical, and traditional). Features black and white, archival photographs. Ages 12-up.
THE WINDOW by Michael Dorris (Modoc)(Hyperion, 1997). This story features an eleven-year-old Rayona Taylor, a character featured in two of Dorris's novels for adults, A YELLOW RAFT IN BLUE WATER, and CLOUD CHAMBER. The novel is probably best appreciated by readers of all three works; however, THE WINDOW is a step toward growing into the other two. Ages 8-up.
THE WORLD IN GRANDFATHER'S HANDS by Craig Kee Strete (Cherokee) (Clarion, 1995). Jimmy struggles to adjust after the death of his father and moving from the pueblo to his Grandfather Whitefeather's house. Strete's characters are complex and his themes are multi-layered. Most notably, the story incorporates the U.S. government policies that recently led to the unauthorized sterilization of so many Native women. Without romanticizing, he touches on much of the sadness tied to the Indian way of life and explores the strength, humor, and community ties that weigh in the balance. Ages 8-up.

A person weeps (cries) because of some reason. At times one cries because of mercy and kindness; at times because of fear; sometimes because of fondness and-love; sometimes due to intense happiness; sometimes due to pain or-sorrow; at times due to the oppression of someone. Among these there is the crying of taubah (repentance) which is an outcome of some sin committed; one type of crying is due to nifaaq (hypocrisy), which is done for show, where one cries in salaah so that others may feel that that person is crying due to piety, humbleness etc.; one type of crying is for a request, for instance where one cries for a dead person without taking any remuneration; one type is to cry for a remuneration where for example one is paid to cry at the house of a dead person as is the custom in some areas; one type of crying is the crying of acceptance where one sees another crying and after seeing this he also begins to cry, etc. Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam mainly cried due to the fondness and love for a deceased person, or for fear of, on behalf of the ummah, or because of the fear or longing for Allah Ta'aala, as will be seen in the narrations. Only these types of crying are praiseworthy. The mashaa-ikh have written, one type of crying is called a lie, that is the crying of a person after committing a sin but thereafter does not refrain from that sin. The commentators on hadith write the crying, of Sayyidina Daawud 'Alayhis Salaam was due to sorrow. The crying of Sayyidina Ebrahim 'Alayhis Salaam was due to a desire, and the crying of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam was because of love. According to this humble servant this will mean that he mostly cried at night due to love, otherwise Sayyidina Rasulullha Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam cried due to different reasons as has been mentioned.

Make that the only three!
Lot of catching up to do - my last update with Flamengo was 2020 and I'm now in Jan 2025! :o
Make that the only three!
Lot of catching up to do - my last update with Flamengo was 2020 and I'm now in Jan 2025! :o
I mean last update was 2022 - been so long I forgot!
Make that four of us. Good to see you guys back!
I think we could be seeing a fair few updated threads in the next few days...plenty of reading .
Great to have the forums back and should be plenty of career updates to read soon.
I finally achieved my goal of making New Zealand teams go into the Asian Champions League but then I did something a bit more fun. I created a World Champions League that has 256 teams from 100 countries battle it out through three qualifying rounds then a huge group stage with 16 groups of four onto five knock out rounds to determine the best team in the world. This would be a real pain for big sides in 20 team leagues but in New Zealand this is nothing as it is only a 14 game league followed by a play-off.
So I can see me starting an Auckland City career at some point and trying to become the best team in the world but the World Champions League would be very hard to win.
I think Photobucket's about to get swamped with uploads - I have all mine filed for each season ready to go
Mine's all typed up in Word with photo's uploaded to Photobucket and ready to upload here .
Feels a bit weird to be back, I only managed two seasons
I miss updating. I need a new thread.
Welcome back everyone! I've only completed two seasons on my save, will write it up at the weekend. Took the chance to have a mini-summer FM break; my interest seems to dip a bit when there's no live football on the tv anyway. Only a month to go until the Premier League starts again though
Surprisingly, going 'cold turkey' from the forums was nice for a little while, I actually got some work done for a change! Oh well, that won't last for long now
is there anway i can get my old account back as i use an old email addy i bloody hope so
phew finally managed to sort my account out now..welcome back
How do you add pics so that they appear on the page as a pic rather than a link to a pic?
I'm back everyone . Too bad I kinda lost interest in my Reading save...
Thanks daufuge.
I need to untick the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" box when linking by URL. (I am just as clueless now as I used to be).
Yes, looks like that box needs to be unticked.
For those saying that it looks rubbish, the graphics are basic/retro, which is part of its charm for me personally. It creates some pretty epic worlds to explore.
I'll give a brief description for those who haven't heard of it. This video probably sums it up - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaMTedT6P0I
Essentially, as the name suggests, you mine and craft primarily.
It's an open-ended game with endless possibilities. No specific plot to follow or anything like that. The game generates a giant random world for you to explore. Basically, the primary tasks are to 1) survive and 2) collect resources.
You start out with nothing and need to find resources to shelter before nightfall. It's a kind of survival mode. Then, slowly but surely, you can start building a decent base, exploring, mining deep down into the world, and building stuff. All the time, you have to be wary of creatures/monsters which will attack you. They spawn at night, hence the need to shelter, but even during the day you can be at risk, and anywhere there is darkness (e.g. caves, underground whilst mining etc.)
The great thing about the game is there is a variety of ways to play it. You can concentrate on exploring, building, fighting with the bad guys, blowing stuff up, harvesting stuff or whatever you want.
To be honest, the stuff I build isn't very impressive really. I'm more into mining and exploring etc. Building isn't the only thing in the game. It can be very fun, of course, but I actually prefer the survival aspect and exploring the world. Finding weird landscapes, cave systems, dungeons, and fighting with the monsters. Can't really explain what I like about it so much. It's just a lot of fun.
You can also get as technical as you want with it. You can live in a hole in the ground if you want. Alternatively, you can build a castle or live in an Egyptian style pyramid, whatever you want! You can also build electronic stuff if you're really nerdy - the furthest I've got is creating a rail track where you can turn and press a button to start moving. The possibilities are pretty much endless.
This is a funny video about surviving the first night - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UdEFmxRmNE (Bear in mind that that was an alpha version of the game and that things have changed quite a bit, plus those two are pretty useless at surviving!
Sorry if that was way off topic.
To get on topic again, I've not played a lot of FM lately. I recently had about a two or three month break from FM.
Then, the other day, I fired up FM10 and played out season 21 & 22 with St. Albans City. Will have to update my thread at some point but I think it will probably be mini updates as I wasn't playing with updates in mind due to the forums being down.
Anyway, to the point.... at first, I thoroughly enjoyed getting back to some FM. But, after while, the game started annoying me off again. There are some really annoying issues with FM10 in my opinion. The worst one I kept coming across was this bug where a player 'wants a new challenge'. What happens is this:
'I want a new challenge,' says the player.
'No you don't,' says Crouchaldinho.
'Yes, I do!'
'Well, have a new lucrative contract instead! How about that?' pleads Crouchaldinho.
'Okay, I am now happy. That's just great!' replies the player.
Two FM days pass.
'I'm unhappy again! I need a new challenge!'
And on and on it goes. Grrrrr! Really frustrating.
That's what's going on with half of my squad for the majority of the season. It's like a constant battle, to be honest, and so very frustrating. Can anyone tell me if this was sorted for FM11?
Then things like press conferences just really annoy me. Plus how reliant we seem to be on bloody team talks half of the time. And how slow the game seems to process. Then I find that I'm playing not because I'm enjoying myself but just to get to the end of the season! I just keep going but I'm not having fun any more. Grrrr!
I've kind of reached the conclusion that I should revert to an old version for a while and play one of the games that processes a bit quicker on my computer. One that doesn't have press conferences and one where team talks aren't the be all and end all. One where players aren't complaining every five minutes and one where I feel that I am having fun. One with the old 2D match engine and tactical arrows maybe!
Thing is, I'm dying to play some football management games but just fed up with the direction of the FM series right now.
I might end up giving either FM07 or FM08 a shot for a while. Just for a bit of nostalgic fun.
Any recommendations or thoughts?
Crouchy or get a better computer? :P
Yeah, my computer isn't great. I won't lie and say that doesn't have something to do with it but there is also more to it than that!
Play in Iceland :P The answer to all your FM woes, by the time your good enough to play in the CL you have done 20 seasons :P
You and Iceland!
I actually really fancy trying a proper journeyman save but I know that my laptop won't be good enough for it on FM10.
Might be getting a new computer at some point in the future though, so that might solve some of my woes.
im thinking of loading up fm07 do it crouchie
Crouchy. I have a pretty average laptop and am still playing FM09.
For much of my career, (until about 2038), I asked my Ass Man to deal with press conferences.
Now because I was managing a small club compared to those I was competeing with, there was always the agreed expectation that we would be viewed as the poor relations to the big-boys, (and this continued even after success was achieved against the big boys). While it was annoying, I suppose it is also realistic. Having said that, I did notice that it lessened over time and while it annoyed me at the time, the players that left for "bigger" clubs were often those that although they were top players, might have had hidden stats that maybe meant that they were not the type of player that I wanted to stay anyway.
I have 2 players, (in particular), that stayed with me through recent years without so much as a murmer, despite being the best DC and SC in England, (and in the case of the SC the best in the World). Other very good players have come and gone but these 2 have just got on with it.
When a player wants to leave, yeah it frustrates me, but i just use it as a springboard to something else. I particularly remember a string of MC's that just kept on coming and going and who never really reached the heights again after leaving.
I just pretend that I am SAF and show em the door while counting an enormous pile of money. (And of course everyone who leaves does so with future sell-on clauses).
I cannot recommend a return to FM09 highly enough.
just loading up fm07 but cant remeber if it needed patching anyone remember lol
I know I can load a whole bunch of leagues on that version even on my crappy laptop, so maybe I will give a journeyman a go for something different.
Yeah, it's realistic to a point. I'm still not title favourites though despite winning six titles in a row!Now because I was managing a small club compared to those I was competeing with, there was always the agreed expectation that we would be viewed as the poor relations to the big-boys, (and this continued even after success was achieved against the big boys). While it was annoying, I suppose it is also realistic.
The 'new challenge' issue isn't a problem with it happening. I can definitely accept that some players might want to move on for a new challenge, although it's something I would like to be quite rare. The problem with FM10 is the frequency with which it tends to happen. I have a whole bunch of players complaining on an almost constant basis.
If you get them to accept a new contract and they say that they are happy, that should be it, surely, at least for some considerable time! But I end up with them complaining five minutes later once again! You've just signed a new contract, for goodness sake, what's your problem!
I get even more annoyed when someone says that they want to move to a bigger club and it turns out to be a club who haven't won anything for a decade and are used to mid-table mediocrity. We're the most successful English club right now! There is nobody bigger!
To be honest, I've no idea if this has been a problem with other FMs. This is the furthest I've got with a small club to big club game, so it might always have been a problem, but I didn't realise. I have to say, it's slightly putting me off the small club to big club game. At least with a career game, when you get to the top you'll be with an already established club, so you shouldn't experience the issue quite so much.
Could be. I'm happy with letting the odd player go but I have one or two favourites who I badly want to stay. It's the same battle with them every season.Having said that, I did notice that it lessened over time and while it annoyed me at the time, the players that left for "bigger" clubs were often those that although they were top players, might have had hidden stats that maybe meant that they were not the type of player that I wanted to stay anyway.
Yeah, my fantastic striker, Michel Vermeer, hasn't moaned once. I love that guy!I have 2 players, (in particular), that stayed with me through recent years without so much as a murmer, despite being the best DC and SC in England, (and in the case of the SC the best in the World). Other very good players have come and gone but these 2 have just got on with it.
It just feels like if I did that, I'd be constantly rebuilding. I have a tight chairman at the moment as well, so I'm really hesitant about letting people go, in case I can't actually replace them with similar quality players.When a player wants to leave, yeah it frustrates me, but i just use it as a springboard to something else.

I just pretend that I am SAF and show em the door while counting an enormous pile of money. (And of course everyone who leaves does so with future sell-on clauses).
Do we have any idea what kind of players behave like this? Maybe players of a certain personality?
I have to say, that's unfortunately one of the versions of FM that I didn't really get on with. If I go back, it'll be to a game prior to that. I miss the old 2D engine and tactical arrows!I cannot recommend a return to FM09 highly enough.
Just checked jackripper. I have all the patches for older games saved in a folder. You need fm2007_patch_7.0.2.
cheers for some reasion it wont install.. Crouchie do you see a huge difference in the amount of leagues you can load on fm08 than on fm10. My pc bit poo also and wanna do big journeyman.
Yeah, pretty big difference for me.
My laptop is pretty rubbish. Fm08 runs much smoother and quicker on my machine.
FM10 is one of the quicker of the post-FM08 versions for me, but still FM08 would be much faster.
I reckon I could happily get away with running 15+ leagues from 5+ countries on FM08 at a very comfortable speed. Whereas on FM10, I had about 8 leagues from 3 countries running, and it wasn't too great. Not terribly slow but slow enough that it put me off a little bit. I actually decided after this that I would only run one country's leagues on FM10 from now on.
I have a crappy laptop though. 1.66GHz dual core with 2GB RAM. Running Vista as well, which is a bit hopeless really. I think the newer FM games need that little bit more spec to play multiple leagues. Also, my laptop is quite old and I think that impacts on what it can comfortably run.
You only have to look at the specs as well.
FM08: minimum 1.2GHZ processor, recommended dual core 2.2GHz. Minimum 256MB RAM, recommended 1GB RAM.
FM10/11: requires 1.4GHz and 1GB RAM as its minimum requirement. That's just the minimum to run the game in the most basic way too.
The minimum requirement for FM10 is similar to the recommended requirements for FM08. So you can get away with much, much less in terms of processor power and memory on FM08.
Looking at the above, I see that I went from having a laptop which was close to the recommended specs on FM08 (i.e. that would run the game very well), to having a laptop that only meets the bare minimum on FM10/11.

dont know wether to start a career update with real madrid C with my Spanish league expansion
Crouchy we're never going to do this Eastern European career
I reckon its the frustration of a slow game pace. Go and get yourself a new computer, fire up FM11 and then travel the world as a journeyman. You'll love it
Ah, the Eastern European career. Such promise and such potential.
I really do need a new laptop at some point but it might have to wait until Christmas unfortunately.
Just in time for "Crouchy and Iacovone travel the Baltic states - FM12". I can see it now
You're such a tease Iacovone!
I never got the hype about FM06-08. Literally stopped playing for three years as they were terrible (IMO! IMO!)
fm08 is running like a dream for me and tactics are soooo much easier with just the arrows.
FM08 newgens were terrible though. And board confidence. So I never really liked FM08. I liked FM09 most followed by FM10. But I just can't go back to play them though now.
I cannot play any of the older games because I love the 3d match engine to much to go back to the dots.
I'm still on dots (nostalgic I guess ) but have to say FM11 would make it difficult for me to go back to another version, even 08 which (besides from the awful regens) is still one of my favourite FM's.
Nearly banged out the 2015 league with Notts Forest! Managed to get us up to 6th in the EPL so far, won the Carling cup, semis of the Europa league and final of the FA Cup. Lucky me.
Still a dot man myself actually. Only switch to 3D if someone gets in the goal of the month awards
Good man Iacovone.
Always the dots for me!
I switch from dots to sideline, whenever I feel like it.
UGH! HATE losing to Porto. What's more frustrating is seeing your strikers put it wide time after time in a crunch match. GAAAHHH!!
3D match every time for me.
A 3D convert myself. Usually watch in Touchline mode but I have been known to use vertical scrolling when tweaking tactics to look at the overall shape
I can't stand dots...3D all the way
I've just recently upgraded my PC, and for the first time ever, I am able to utilise the 3D graphics. To be honest I don't find them amazing, it looks like something out of a 1990's Mega Drive game.
However, I find them a better visual representation than the dots were. If I start feeling nostalgic I may revert back to the dots, but for now, 3D is the way forward for me. Hopefully it will be improved for FM12
Ak what you running now then? If you don't mind me asking
And bear in mind my current point of reference is a Wii
And the Wii is dreadful :P
I suppose my point of reference is my PS3, and the 3D graphics on FM are definitely not from the same decade as the graphics on FIFA. I know SI will unlikely develop the 3D to the standard of EA Games (due to budgets/investments/workforce etc), but there's still room for improvement
That not too bad I went the AMD (cheaper) route
SI have the money I'm pretty sure, the thing is you don't REALLY need it
My head hurts from reading to much
But wow so truly amazing stories have happened here
I am seriously thinking of loading a load of leagues and going for a massive journeyman game. I have an i7 overclocked to 4.2 Ghz with 6gb RAM. I am sure I could load a lot of leagues but recently my saves have only had 5 countries loaded so if I was to load 20-30 I am sure I would notice the difference.
I always play a lot of leagues (nearly everything) if you see my career threads and I don't have a very good laptop (well it's *only* is dual core 2.1Ghz processor and 4GB of RAM). I never really minded the speed of my system.
You should just load every league.
Every league gives me half a star rating think I would go mad waiting that long for my game to load and process.
Going to go for New Zealand and at least four countries from each continent, should be enough to enjoy travelling the world.
Got to go on an xml hunt now for Costa Rica, an MLS that is more European style and a couple more African leagues.

Do a holiday test save first. Some of the xml files might conflict with each other.
Is the Minimum Release Clause value at upfront amount or can be upfront and in installments??
For example: Minimum Release Clause is $22 million. Does it have to be $22 mil upfront or can it also be $11 mil upfront and $11 mil installments??
Has to be upfront as far as I know to be automatically activated.
I have a feeling that the clause can be activated as long as the guaranteed payments cover it, payments for appearances/goals etc do not count towards it.
I may be wrong though.
But if I need to activate the minimum release clause for another player I have to pay it all upfront..either way he's gone now and now I have to find a replacement.
FM12 really needs to be a lot better because FM11 is probably the most bugged game of all FMs I played (FM08-present).
Try it out, it doesn't look like the cluase has been activated but then the bids are always accepted.
Well ive finally done it my last save till FM2012 comes out, a mega journey game, Ive loaded EVERY league from every nation only loaded 151,000 players and started unemployed, with a Sunday league rep, some how got the Etoile job in the Singaporean league and look likely to win the thing at first go, might do a thread once Ive got through a season or two
You do know acidmonkey that Etoile can't play in the Asian Champions League if you win the Singaporean League?
no i didnt know that, DAMMIT well looks like new job after the season then
Thought I'd let you know in case you were planning on trying to take Etoile to the heights of Asian football
yea cheers, that was the aim, looks like a Asian move might be in order then
rancer890 do you mind if i rip off your little stats tables for my new thread?
It's the day of the Community Shield in some far off distant year.
I have a whopping 71 players on the books at the club so surely no issues with selecting a decent squad.
18 players out on loan.
5 players injured.
17 players Travelling to join up with International Squad, (for Euro Qualifying games)
Which leaves me with 31 players to choose from.
4 16 year olds, (including the only GK left at the club).
4 17 year olds.
1 18 year old.
2 19 year olds.
The crux of it is that I have to select 11 players from the Reserves and U18's for the match squad of 18.
How long have I been playing this poxy game and I still get snoozed by stuff like this!
So basically my squad consists of 9 South Americans, 3 home-produced youngsters and 6 assorted others.
And just for good measure we conceded 7 goals the last time we played this lot.
It's gonna be a long old season methinks.
The above was just meant to be a bit of a whinge and a moan and not too serious at all as I fully expected Chelsea to be suffering similar problems. After all their team is built on a bedrock of English and German talent, (most of them regular senior Internationals), and off the top of my head the other big players for them are Belgian, Swiss and Dutch. Can't remember them having any non-Europeans, (so they will be decimated with International call-ups.
I have 5 players in the senior England Squad, (all unavailable).
They have 5 players in the senior England Squad, (all available).
How the hell does that work?
All their Internationals are available because they are.... "Due to join International Squad tomorrow".
Mine are all unavailable because they are "Travelling to join up with International Squad. Due to arrive today".
Meh meh meh meh meh!

Does anyone use twitter to post about their FM career?
Hey guys, I'm after some advice if any of you feel able to help me!
I'm wanting to get a new PC and to do a bit more gaming on it than I do now on my current laptop. Now, obviously I know to go for as much processing power and RAM as I can, but what is considered 'good' these days?
Also, I know I'll need a decent graphics card this time and not the rubbish integrated graphics thingy on my current laptop. What sort of thing is best to go for? I really don't have a clue about this kind of thing.
My budget isn't huge so I'm really looking at getting the best deal I can whilst not compromising too much on the specs. I've got quite into playing a few games like Minecraft and Terraria lately. Most of the games I like tend to be kind of retro, so I probably don't need anything amazing graphics wise, although I think Minecraft needs something half decent so that you can get more out of it. Obviously, I'd also like to have a PC capable of running Football Manager to a higher standard than my current old laptop. I might end up enjoying the latest FM games more if I had a more capable computer, and if not, I could always run a ton of leagues on one of the old FMs. For once in my FMing career, I really want a fairly quality spec PC where I don't have to scrimp on the leagues as I usually have to.
As for desktop or laptop, I haven't made my mind up, but I guess you get more for your money with a desktop (?) and that is definitely a factor in its favour. The only thing is I'd have to be buying the monitor etc. as well as I currently don't have one. Don't know if this makes it the more expensive option or not? The thing that puts me off a laptop is the fact that I've had all kinds of problems with this one's fan getting clogged up with crap. Plus, I know a desktop is easier to upgrade etc.
Basically, any advice appreciated. I haven't really got a specific idea in mind, only a vague one. Can any of you guys help? Thanks in advance.
ive started using it, As you've seen
crouchaldinho if you have a budget ill price ya a machine, just built a new PC for a mate and i5 for about £400
That doesn't sound too bad Acidmonkey, although i5 doesn't mean much to me (I'm guessing that's good though)!
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure how much everything costs and how much I even have to spend at the moment. Need to do some calculations!
I guess I'm really looking at as near to the budget computer mark as possible without massively comprising on specs. That probably doesn't help much but until I've done a bit more research and also worked out how much I have to spend, that's all I can say. To be quite honest, I'm a bit clueless as to how much stuff costs anyway. I'm a bit clueless in general in all honesty! :o Whenever I've needed to buy a computer in the past, I've always surfed Amazon and just picked a budget laptop out.
Maybe you can give me some idea of what I can get? Think of me as a tight git, is your best guide!
Building my own sounds a bit technical. I know how to do some basic stuff like add RAM etc. but this sounds more complicated! I'm guessing that putting components together for a desktop is a cheap way of doing things but also quite an advanced one?
I was considering following other by going back to old FMs but I think I got rid of all the old old ones and now I only have FM10. Is it worth playing FM10 if I can get it to work.
The biggest pain is the need for monitor etc. which will add a chunk on, as for i5 the new intel CPUs'
i3 = 2 cores
i5 = 2 or 4 cores
i7 = 2/4/6 cores
your tight fisted right ill have a look
Would that make a laptop better value then?

Business as a source of inspiration? It could change the world.
This month the results of our annual Most Inspiring Companies™ survey were released; I encourage you to take a look at the results covered here in Forbes. The survey, based entirely on consumer perceptions of companies, polled more than 2,000 individuals across the U.S. and for the second year in a row, Apple topped the list. Rounding out the top five were: Walmart, Target, Google and Microsoft.
For the first time this year, and in light of what is taking place on the national scene, we asked respondents: "Who is most likely to make the world a better place? a) businesses b) charities/nonprofits c) churches/synagogues d) government?" Interestingly, businesses and charities ranked evenly with 39% of the votes, churches/synagogues trailed at 22%, and government received (perhaps not surprising) zero votes.
With results showing that consumers have equal faith that nonprofits and business will make the world a better place, we have to ask, are businesses doing their part to meet this expectation?
Before we come to a conclusion on that point, let's consider one of the more telling survey results. One notable response on what makes an organization inspiring was: "they possess a servant attitude," meaning that particular company seemed to genuinely care about human needs, even over profit.
Consider TOMS Shoes, number 18 on the Most Inspiring list. For each pair of shoes purchased, a pair is donated to someone in need. A TOMS' customer knows that when they buy a pair of shoes, their purchase goes beyond what they have just bought. They feel confident and inspired by their experience because it is helping someone else. Businesses that have incorporated a charitable element into their business model are a step ahead in the inspiration game.
Interestingly, respondents chose the second (Walmart) and third (Target) place companies, in part, because they felt they excelled in corporate social responsibility. Consumers shared that they appreciate that Walmart gives back to the community by employing its senior citizens, and believe Target is doing its part by donating 5% of its pre-tax profits back to the communities in which it serves.
The 2012 Most Inspiring list is numerical proof—businesses have more of an opportunity than ever to inspire consumers and ultimately create an emotional connection that translates into lifelong customers. Every one of the companies in the top 25 was described in some way as follows: affirming, credible, having a servant attitude, visionary, progressing and authentic.
Change is on the horizon. Perhaps the best place for an organization to start is backward, asking what steps they need to take to inspire customers to reference them as "affirming," "credible" and "authentic."
What do you think? Do businesses have the power to make the world a better place? What organizations do you think are missing from the top 25? We would love your thoughts and feedback.

What did the Japanese American internment camps look like?
What was everyday life like for people in the camps?
How did the internees feel about their lives?
The images in this group offer a picture of what one Japanese American Internment camp looked like. Paintings, created by internees, depict what it felt like to be interned there. The camp photographs were taken at Manzanar War Relocation Center, an internment camp in Eastern California's Owens Valley, now a national historic site open to visitors.
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which established 10 internment camps for "national security" purposes. Although most internment camps were along the West Coast, others could be found in Wyoming and Colorado, and as far east as Arkansas. One photo shows Japanese American boys in San Francisco shortly before the evacuation order; another shows a woman waiting for the evacuation bus in Hayward; approximately 660 people being evacuated by bus from San Francisco on the first day of the program; and an aerial image of people sitting on their belongings, waiting to be taken to Manzanar.
The government-sponsored War Relocation Authority (WRA) hired Dorothea Lange and other photographers to take pictures of the relocation and internment of Japanese Americans. Lange's photographs, some of which were suppressed by the WRA and only released later, often capture the irony inherent in the situation. Although internees were allowed to take only what they could carry with them to the camps, one Lange photo juxtaposes a bus poster "Such a load off my mind — Bekins stored my things" next to a pile of internees' belongings. Another striking Lange image shows a Japanese American-owned corner store with a large "I am an American" banner hanging beneath a "Sold" sign.
Another photograph of an engine's distributor, removed from a car owned by an internee, showed that people were truly prisoners at the camp, unable to drive their own cars away. Several paintings by interned Japanese American artists Henry Sugimoto and Hisako Hibi reflect their emotional experiences and give viewers a sense of what life was like for them. The paintings express the pain, suffering, and anger of those subjected to internment.
Over 100,000 Japanese American men, women, and children were relocated and detained at these camps. Photographs here show people of all ages, including a grandfather and grandchild, and young children. This internment is now recognized as a violation of their human and civil rights. In 1980, the US government officially apologized and reparations were paid to survivors.

Feast your eyes on this.
Can you see my hips swing
When I'm walking?
Cant you see my lips smile
when you're talking
to me?
Don't you know what it means?
My hand's sitting right there.
Want to hold it?
You can.
My shirt's falling off my shoulder
you could run your fingers up it.
My lips are good at kissing
if you want to.
And while we're kissing
would it be a terrible thing
if my shirt came off,
and yours too?
Our hands and mouths could explore
what our eyes have hinted at.
I could find your pleasures,
and you mine.
Remember my hips?
They do more than swing.
My legs do more than walk,
they could wrap around
your tanned gymnast's body.
Are you man enough
to plunder my treasures?
We'll both be richer than before.

College Hockey:Breaks don't go Western Michigan's way in opening-round loss
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Whether you prefer the term "puck luck" or "getting a bounce," Western Michigan had neither in the second period of its 3-1 West Regional semifinal loss to North Dakota on Saturday afternoon at Xcel Energy Center.
Unfortunate deflections, a disallowed goal and bouncing pucks left the Broncos with nothing to show for their efforts in a middle period that saw them outshoot the Fighting Sioux 13-10.
Already trailing 1-0 after a first period mostly carried by North Dakota, Western Michigan came out of the dressing room for the second period with a vengeance. The Broncos dominated the first three minutes of the second and had UND seemingly on the ropes as they sought the tying goal.
But shortly thereafter, a Brock Nelson shot from the right circle deflected off WMU's Luke Witkowski and hit Witkowski's teammate Matt Tennyson at the right post before falling to rest in the crease behind Broncos goalie Frank Slubowski.
North Dakota's Corban Knight was in the right place at the right time to pounce on the loose puck for a two-goal North Dakota lead. But after what could have been a devastating sequence for Western Michigan, the Broncos forged ahead.
"When that second one went in, I don't think it took any wind out of our sail," said Broncos right wing Kyle O'Kane, who scored Western Michigan's lone goal later in the period. "I think if you watched the game, we still kept going."
Broncos coach Andy Murray saw things similarly.
"There's quite a bit been made of that second goal and I thought we played even played better after that, we were even more determined," said Murray. "That's kind of our trademark, that we just continue to play."
Western Michigan continued to press forward, closing the gap to one on O'Kane's breakaway goal at 12:57. It appeared to tie the game less than two minutes later when a floating puck hit WMU's Ian Slater and crossed the line behind North Dakota goalie Aaron Dell.
The official immediately waved off the goal and, following a lengthy review, the call was confirmed due to the net becoming dislodged in the chaos. Despite the misfortune, Murray and his team immediately put it behind them and were prepared to move forward.
"When the referee wanted to come over and give me an explanation I just waved him away because, what are you going to do?" Murray said. "We just wanted to keep the game going. We were playing well at that point and we talked about it on the bench that, either way, we were going to continue to play hard.
"College referees talk to the coaches way too much. Just go about your business and that's fine."
"Obviously, it's a huge turning point in the game," said O'Kane. "We said to ourselves either way, if it's a goal or not, we're going to continue to press hard and continue to get pucks deep and get to the net and work hard."
The Broncos were victimized by a few more unfortunate bounces, including a puck that wouldn't settle for left wing Will Kessel on a glorious rebound opportunity with just over a minute to go.
"Any time that you can't find the back of the net it's frustrating," said O'Kane. "Especially after that rough first period we kind of had, I thought we bounced back very well and I think we were playing hard all night."

Welcome to Introduction to the Liberal Arts .
Our new course theme is "Exemplary Lives." We will reflect on texts whose themes allow us to consider the question of what makes a life exemplary. Our discussions will naturally include lives that are flawed and how those flaws may be woven into a life that still might be considered exemplary. Our inquiry will begin with an inward looking autobiography and then move to other modes of discovery. We will consider how others might view a life "from the outside" in a biography. We will investigate the discovery of lives in the past and how individuals have dedicated and defined their exemplary lives in terms of the pursuit of understanding in a discipline. To conclude the course, we will discover how exemplary lives might be understood in different cultures. This final text will also serve as a "bridge" to the sophomore course that you will take, Global Perspectives.
The first text that all sections will read is Dreams from My Father : A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama. All students should read the first section of this book ("Origins") by the time that they arrive on campus. Summer study questions for this section can be found here.

Arrival Experience: Navigating Madrid's new terminal four can be daunting for some, but the signage is easy to follow. My booking did not pull up on the kiosk, and agents at the desk were unable to help unless you had checked bags and had already used the kiosk. Still, a sympathetic agent eventually assisted me without having to wait long, and I was on my way. T4 is comprised of two separate concourses connected by a train system. Most intercontinental flights require taking the train to the second concourse, and a series of escalators must be taken to reach the train. What may seem like a maze to some is really a simple process that had me in the business class lounge less than 20 minutes after passing immigration and taking the train to the satellite terminal.
Lounge: Iberia's business class lounge features a stunning wall of windows that looks out onto the runway and taxiway. It is an aviation geek's dream as dozens of foreign carriers taxi to and fro in addition to half of Iberia's fleet as its flights head across the European continent or across the oceans. On offer was a fine buffet that featured everything from eggs and ham to fresh fruit and cereal given the morning hour. However, the spread changed midway through my stay to revel canapés, salads, and Spanish olives among other options. Every conceivable beverage was on offer from juices and soft drinks to cocktails and a full wine bar featuring numerous Spanish wines to taste (including a selection of cava). Magazines and newspapers in numerous languages were on offer as was free wireless Internet, although a new code doled out from the front desk must be entered after every hour or so. Occasional boarding announcements were made, and the screens listed the terminal's departure list so no one would feel left out. A relaxation area, TV room, and business center were also available.
Inflight: My flight was aboard one of Iberia's beautiful new Airbus A330 aircraft featuring the new flat-bed seating. Arranged in single seats along the windows and pairs of two in the middle, there was direct-aisle access for each passenger plus plenty of privacy. I preferred the alternating seats that had the cocktail table on the aisle side (versus on the window side) so that I could rest without being disturbed as easily. Shortly after boarding, a flight attendant offered to hang my jacket and offered me a glass of cava. Newspapers shortly followed. We departed right on time and were soon airborne for O'Hare. The crew sprang into action delivering a beautifully decorated box to my seat while taking my aperitif order. Inside the box was a small bag of chips, but the fine presentation was duly noted. As I settled in for a movie on the intuitive and well-stocked entertainment system on the wide screen in front of me, I noted the clever pockets around the seat including spaces for a water bottle, noise-canceling headsets, and magazines. The charging sockets were well-used by most passengers who wanted to keep laptops and mobile devices juiced up inflight. Carts later appeared in the aisle to provide top-ups on drinks while serving the first course, which included warm rolls, a consommé soup, salad topped with fruit, and chilled appetizer of smoked salmon and asparagus. Once that was cleared away, the hot entrée was delivered, and I opted for a delectable cut of meat served with rice and vegetables. Dessert was the highlight as it included a selection of Spanish cheeses plus a fruity sorbet and after-dinner drinks. In no time, I had reclined my seat into a 180-degree flat bed position and dozed off for several hours before waking up for a pre-landing snack.
Arrival Experience: Landing was smooth, and O'Hare's new fast-pass line for travelers with carry-on baggage only was a cinch. I passed immigration and customs simultaneously without having to navigate the crowds although these days there are sometimes more people lined up at Global Entry than at the regular lines. The inflight crew spoke perfect English, and no doubt other languages, and the Iberia service from start to finish was nothing short of professional and efficient leaving me eager for my next trip to Spain.
Now that American and US Airways have begun the merger integration process, Charlotte travelers are gaining access to more new destinations and airline partners. On April 1, US Airways will officially join the oneworld alliance, in which Iberia is a member. On that date, Charlotte travelers can begin to redeem US Airways miles for Iberia flights, including those outfitted with the new Business Plus flat bed seat.

2013 f-150 INVENTORY
It's no secret that the Ford F-150 pickup truck is one of the highest-rated and top selling trucks on the road today. But Ford isn't going to rest on its laurels; it released a new 2013 Ford F-150 that continues the tradition of class-leading towing, improving gas mileage, and a luxurious interior.
Although instantly recognizable, there are actually ten unique Ford F-150 models. Each trim is a combination of three available cabs, three available beds, and four available engines. The available cabs can sit either three or six passengers, depending on the driver's needs. The bed, also known as the truck's box, can be anywhere from five and a half feet to eight feet long. Most trims give drivers the choice between a 3.7-Liter V6 FFV engine, a 5.0-Liter V8 FFV engine, a 6.2-Liter 2V EFI V8 engine, and an Ecoboost 3.5-Liter V6 engine. These options can make an F-150 anywhere from a work-ready XL trim, to the premium Limited with a SuperCrew cab and 22-inch aluminum wheels, and anywhere in between.
Beyond what is included in the trims, there are numerous accessories available. Two unique chrome grille inserts, 6-inch chrome step bars, a hood deflector, and a chrome exhaust tip are only a few of the features to make the exterior of the 2013 Ford F-150 even more personalized. Fun items for the inside include a portable DVD rear seat entertainment system, an interior light kit for extra ambiance, and cargo organizers.
When properly equipped with the Heavy Duty Payload Package, the 2013 Ford F-150 can tow well over eleven thousand pounds.
*EPA estimated highway miles per gallon.

The golf course is closed on Mondays to regular play except on University holidays.
Home to Men's & Women's Golf and Cross Country | StanfordGolfCourse.com | Siebel Varsity Golf Training Complex
Located in the foothills above the Stanford University campus, the Stanford University Golf Course is consistently rated one of the finest courses in the world. In 1998, the golf course was rated 91st in the country by Golf Week Magazine and in 1993 was rated 88th in the world by Golf Magazine.
In the 1920s, Stanford students lobbied for a golf course. The golf team was using the Burlingame Course for practice and was coached by the Burlingame pro Harold Sampson. Luckily, the students found an enthusiast in Almon E. Roth '09, the University Controller, who had become hooked on the game and was a member of the Los Altos Country Club. In February 1929, he persuaded the Stanford University Board of Trustees to provide the land and finance the construction of a golf course at the University. In 1930, Roth and Al Masters, the manager of the Athletic Department, hired by renowned golf course architects George C. Thomas Jr. and William "Billy" Bell to design and build the course.
Construction began in May of 1929, with great care being taken to preserve the oak trees. Ultimately, only 75 had to be removed. At that time, water for the irrigation of the campus came from Searsville Lake. Since a much great quantity of water would be required for the golf course, Felt Lake was enlarged to a capacity of 278,000,000 gallons. By December the course was ready. "Dick" Templeton, the track coach who first used starting blocks in track meets, was in the first foursome on opening day, January 1, 1930.
The course cost $188,000 to design and build. Enlarging Felt Lake cost $190,000 and the club house cost $54,000.
Stanford University Golf Course is steeped in tradition. Throughout the years, Stanford has hosted many intercollegiate and non-collegiate events, including the Stanford Invitational, Peg Barnard Intercollegiate, Pac-10 Championships, NCAA Western Regional, Women's NCAA Championships, USGA Junior Amateur Qualifying, U.S. Open Qualifying and The Gathering at the Farm, a former Senior PGA Tour event.
Stanford University Golf Course has also produced many influential golfers throughout the years. Such notables include former USGA presidents Sandy Tatum and Grant Spaeth, and PGA Tour professionals Tom Watson, Tiger Woods and Notah Begay III.

Fans of the game Borderlands 2 will be happy to hear that its developer Gearbox has teamed up with Iron Galaxy Studios to bring the game to the PlayStation Vita sometime in 2014. The announcement came during Sony's Gamescom keynote with the company saying that Gearbox's Randy Pitchford is really excited to see Borderlands 2 on the PS Vita.
This announcement comes as Sony slashed the price on its PS Vita, bringing it down to just $199. No official release date has been announced and things are silent on pricing information as well. Additionally, the company made no mention of DLC add-ons or whether your Boarderlands 2 account will be able to transfer over.
