Obertan and Valencia are the new wingers but still I think Nani should be put first than those two Fergie gave a lot of chances for Ronaldo when he was a simple juggler and Nani has a great facility for delivering crosses.
I think Nani should be one winger (doesn't matter which side he plays good in both) and Valencia or Obertan in the other, giggs should be playing less this season and when he does he should not be in central midfield.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
i think nani will be givin his chance this season hes a good player just frustrating at times with his end product. But you have to remember how frustrating it use to be to watch ronaldo give the ball away the first few seasons

I think Obertan...will be more of a squad player to start....I'ts still to early to see who gets the main positions ....See Who else Fergie Gets...!

Has the Obertan signing been finalised?
I doubt he will feature much this season. Nani will now get a run of games and will be given his chances. It is upto him to take advantage of that.
Nani is a potential world class player. His decision making and lack of consistency is the two areas in which he needs to improve.
So, my guess would be that Nani and Valencia are the main wingers, with Park and Tosic being given games if and when required.

We have had a very bad experience with the employees of this office and have been lied to regarding the loans of Money Now and RAL. We will not use your services again.
My fiance and I have taken our taxes to your company because of the Money Now Loan, we were told the basis of these loans is credit and a few other criteria. This is not true. The loans are based off of whether or not you have requested a loan off of your taxes before.
The employees at the Aloha, Or. branch have flat out lied to us. We were denied the Money Now Loan and we were denied the RAL Loan but were not advised of this, instead we were led to believe that our check will arrive the next day.
After contacting Santa Barbara Bank and Trust, and speaking with the manager, we were advised the answer is given within 3 minutes of loan possibilities. Only after talking with the manager and determining that Jackson Hewitt is in error of processes and is lying to it's customers were we offered some assistance from the Bank of Santa Barbara Trust.
Nowhere in your literature is there any information regarding these processes and how the decision is made but also you do not tell anyone at the time of signing documentation that the loan has been rejected. Also, nowhere on the documentation does it show the $10.00 internet special that was printed and handed to your representative which constitutes fraud and false advertising.
I have contacted the IRS Fraud Department and have asked them to investigate your offices.
I will make it a point to tell others about the lying and the deceit regarding your company.
Please take the time to train your employees about ethical business practices and the harm lying can do to your reputation.
This letter has been copied and sent to the IRS Fraud Department and Santa Barbara Bank and Trust Co.

TiVo without the subscription?
Question: Can you use a Tivo box (with cablecard) as a simple cable box, without having to pay the monthly subscription fee?
TL/DR explanation for the question:
We have Verizon FIOS service, and are getting annoyed with the monthly set-top box rental (6 a month for standard, 10 if we get an HD box but I've just found that THAT requires a different monthly subscription fee). Annoying, because we're paying them for the damn SERVICE, which we cannot USE without the box... seems to me it should *include* one box "free".
So we could apparently purchase a TiVo, and rent a cablecard to go into that, it's 4 a month vs 6 or 10 a month, but then there's the TiVo monthly fee which is *more* than the cable company's service. 20 a month, plus the 4 for the cablecard, or 24 a month. Versus the Verizon-provided DVR which is 15 a month.
Anyway, if we didn't want the DVR capability, it seems like a TiVo plus cablecard, without the monthly subscription, is our most cost-effective solution.
ETA, don't buy one new. Just go on Ebay and you'll be able to find a used one. In fact, you'll probably be able to find one that has a lifetime subscription on it.
Last edited by Joey P; 12-27-2011 at 10:51 AM..
I strongly, strongly recommend against doing this. As Joey P say, technically it is possible, but it will be very painful. I've known a few people who have tried this and none have been satisfied. I've also seen countless people ask (and complain) about it on the various forums, and it's never pretty. If you can find a used one with Lifetime service, that could be a way to go, but be aware that there are components that fail as the devices get older (most commonly the hard drive and power supply), so you may end up having to lay out some more cash to repair it if it is reaching that age.
You could try to buy a TV with a cable card slot, which would allow you to tune the channels without paying anything beyond the cable card rental. But of course you wouldn't have any DVR-type functionality, if you care about that. And a TV with a cable card slot is going to be pretty hard to find these days. I'm not sure if any are even being made anymore, but I'm sure there are some used ones around. However, I think at that point you'd probably be exceeding the amount of effort and money that is reasonable to expend to avoid a few dollar monthly box rental fee...
Thanks, everyone - it sounds like it's not the best option for us at this point. We don't record all that much stuff anyway, so might just do away with the one DVR we have currently (rented from Verizon) and just go with a regular cable box.
Another option if you're looking to cut costs might be to get something like a Roku or Apple TV and get your programming from Netflix and/or Hulu. You can get a Roku for $50, Hulu+ and Netflix are $8/mo each, so if you wanted both you'd be looking at $16/mo, which I'm sure is substantially cheaper than what you're paying now. If you already have an XBox or PS3, you can also use that to access Hulu+ and Netflix, without buying another box. Depending on where you live you could supplement with an antenna to get the local channels for news and such. Of course, you'd still have to pay for Internet access, and that price might go up if it's currently bundled with your cable TV. Also, the selection on Hulu and Netflix may not include all the things you like to watch, so you should check on that.
For me, there are a number of things I can't get via Hulu or Netflix, so I'm keeping my cable (though I do use both Hulu and Netflix as well).
The very earliest TiVo could programmed for time date channel. Starting with the second generation about 2005 or so, they only do the 30- min replay unless you have the subscription. I found web sites describing how to hack them open or setup a fake server for generic tv guide service, but unless you love this sort of obscure hacking - don't bother.

What I was originally thinking was that I'd use the TiVo just as a dumb box, not as a recording device, for what that's worth (as Joey P mentioned, it'd be a brick).
I don't recall finding any TVs that had cable card capability when I was searching. It wasn't a requirement for us anyway, since I figured we'd either stick with the boxes we have, or go the TiVo route.
As it is, I don't see that a Tivo would give us any more functionality, or save us any money, than continuing to rent the DVR from Verizon.
Next task: try to get them to give us the 2-year all-inclusive bundle that's advertised on their webpage.... that's cheaper and better than what we have. I'm thinking they'll insist that's for new customers only. And I'm thinking I'll mention cox when they do.
Something else I don't think anyone mentioned: Unsubscribed TiVos display a "You're Not Subscribed!" nag screen on almost every function...
Tivo isn't what the electronics stores are telling you!
We had Directv......the upgraded 300 channels or whatever it is they advertise that in reality has about 20 channels repeated over 300 channels all for $130 a month for an advertised $59.95 a month subscription.........and all the cable and satellite providers are doing the same.........I said BYE after my two year subscription expired!
Decided to go with OTA so I contacted a supplier (Solid Signal) to see exactly what I would need in my area. Great folks, you give them your details of where you are located and what you're looking to do and they do all the rest at no charge. They didn't attempt to pawn the most expensive package on me either and in fact, the guy told me before I spend $300 for a OTA package, go down to Radio Shack or like and get a set of rabbit ears just to see what you get. Did that and was amazed.....23-25 channels with rabbit ears! So I decided to just upgrade to a better indoor antenna and have been doing it that way for several years now watching most of what I was paying $130 a month for........FREE! The only thing you don't get are the reality shows like Swamp People or Lizard Lick Towing but who cares, I can watch them on my laptop for FREE!!
Now my wife has determined she needs to record shows OTA.........we really don't need this but keeping her happy we go to Best Buy to get out Tivo after a little research. It seems to be the way to go but as always, it comes with that GREED MONGERING corporate hidden details policy we are all so used to getting ripped with.
You buy the box, that actually comes with something inside of it.......$149 on sale, probably could have found it a bit cheaper online but when the wife says now you all know how that goes! I ask the sales moron if the Tivo was all I needed and of course, knowing nothing and pretending to know something, he gives me the heads up........good to go!
We get back home, mind you the trip was 25 miles each way, I go to hook this electronic piece of wonder up..........instructions are almost useless, there's NOTHING related to OTA, and best of all............you get the Gomer Pyle ..........SURPRISE...........SURPRISE.........SURPRISE, you need to not only subscribe to a $15 a month service but you also need to purchase another piece of electronic equipment! They give you three options of connecting to the land of opportunity to use your new device..........telephone but you need to buy a Tivo phone adapter..........can't just plug it in the receptacle like other phone related devices OR you have the internet choice. Now I'm all wireless for convenience and asthetics..........NOPE, Tivo doesn't have any wireless capability with another Tivo adapter.........and you have a choice, an "N" adapter or a "G" adapter, one being twice the price but has twice the download speed so here's another purchase!
$60 for the "G" or $130 for the "N" adapter. And don't forget, you have a $15 a month subscription fee!
So the moral of the story...........do your own research first and don't rely on the idiots they have working in these electronics super stores, they don't know if they're on foot or horseback!
This deal is going to cost you $300 plus just to get started...........so BEWARE!!!
From what I have read, this "streaming" thing is all significantly over-rated but hey, what's new with Corporate America besides all the deceit and lies you can swallow to buy their product...........and we wonder why the country is going to pieces...........SURPRISE..........SURPRISE...........SURPRISE!!!!

Also, FTR, the older TiVo's (S1,S2 probably some of the others) have a built in phone jack and I think the newer ones (Premier) have built in WiFi. Also, doesn't it say right on the box that it requires a subscription?
Tell me more about why you think the country is going to pieces because of this 'streaming' thing.
Last edited by Joey P; 11-25-2012 at 08:26 AM..
Looking at TiVo's website, it's pretty easy to see that that's not the case.
It's also kinda ridiculous, but I think it's partially because they really recommend the new ones be wired for reliable streaming and partially cause it's cheaper for them this way. I've had at least one TiVo in the house for over ten years and if be lost without it so I'm willing to give them a pass on that.

Magnavox makes some digital video recorders (MDR515H/F7 500GB HDD, MDR533H/F7 320GB HDD) that can record to its HD or to a DVD. you can use these like a VCR, both to time shift viewing or saving. it gets both digital and analog OTA tv and cable.
you program this like you did a VCR with date, time and channel. you can record to the hard drive then after viewing erase it or store it on a DVD.
previous recent discussion
Those Magnavox DVRs don't appear to have CableCARD slots, which unfortunately makes them completely useless for a FiOS subscriber. FiOS requires either a Verizon-supplied set-top box or a CableCARD installed in a customer-supplied tuner (either a TV or a compatible DVR).
If they were put inline with a set-top box, then the box would have to be tuned manually to the correct station before the recording was to start.
I have purchased a TiVo Roamio box and the Motorola card with the intentions that I will be able to use it without any fees from my cable company which is Suddenlink. I currently purchase cable and internet service from them. How do I install this to work without subscription fees from anyone?
You've bought a very expensive cable tuner. If you activate it, though, you've got a very nice DVR.
Can I also activate it through my cable company--Suddenlink
No, the TiVo service is entirely independent of your cable company. You will have to call your cable company to activate the CableCard, though.

Cable companies are weird about customers using their own CableCARDs. Sometimes they allow it, most of the time they don't. (Even for the same company.) For ours, they actually provide a discount for "customer owned equipment" using their first CableCARD. Then it's something like a dollar a month more for each additional card. One of those rare cases where having the cable company's equipment is cheaper than having your own.
The problem is that cable companies are not properly stocking (as required by law) CableCARDs anymore. It can take a while to get a working one.
As far as buying used TiVo (especially lifetime ones which are plentiful now), note that only Premiere's and Roamio's handle the new MPEG4 compression cable companies are rolling out now. Don't buy a Series 3/HD.
There is a consortium working on a system to replace CableCARDs, but it is moving glacially. Who knows when the next-gen stuff is going to roll out.
I'll agree that it's difficult to get a working cable card. Sometimes I've had to swap mine 3 or 4 times to get it straightened out. At least now (after some legal battles) they don't say stupid crap like 'what's a cable card' or 'we aren't compatible with TiVo'.
As for a Tuning Adapter, at least with TWC, it's required to get all the channels (if you don't have a cable box, which is the case if you need a cable card). Without it (and you can tell when it needs to be reset), you'll lose a bunch of random channels.
It's possible that your cable company doesn't yet use SDV. If they don't now, they probably will soon. It saves a ton of bandwidth.
Lastly, I wasn't aware that you could own a cable card. It's like your key into the cable company. I'm not saying you can't, I just didn't know it. But the FCC has mandated that the rental fee for it be very low which is why they only charge something like $1-$3. If that wasn't the case, I'm sure it would be more like $5-$10, since it seems to cause them so many headaches and the higher price would help push TiVo out of the market.
Here's info from TiVo's site regarding tuning adapters. For what it's worth I have Optimum Cable and my TiVo Roamio didn't need one (I also don't subscribe to any premium channels).
CableCARDS are legally sold all the time on eBay. You can even buy them in bulk. They don't allow anyone to steal cable services, however. Hardly a "key". They still need to be paired which involves you and someone with the cable company, a bunch of numbers, etc. (There are a couple different makers of CableCARDS. You have to have the right one for your company in your area. Assuming they allow it at all.)
On Demand rolled out on CableCARD TiVos starting last year. We have it. It works. It's a major pain to scroll thru slow loading menus, etc. (Plus the huge annoyance of having to sit thru commercials on most shows. No FF at all. But I just want to watch the last 2 minutes of a program that got cut off! Join the 21st Century bozos!)

TiVo provides a service that allows TiVo boxes to download your local TV listings and schedule recordings. You must subscribe to this service for the TiVo box to record anything. You can buy a monthly or one-time lifetime subscription.
The CableCard in the TiVo box must be activated on your cable system. That requires a call to your cable company. Whether or not they will require you to use their own CableCard is up to them -- the fact is cable companies don't really like supporting CableCard devices, and only do it because the FCC requires them to do so. So they're inclined to make the process difficult.
None of this makes sense to me. If I wanted to ay a subscription fee I would just rent the service from my cable company. If I have to subscribe to TiVo as well as pay my cable company to rent their card this all gets too expensive.
TiVo is a higher-end product. People buy them because they work a lot better and have more features than generic cable company DVRs. That has an up-front cost. In the long run, you'll save money if you buy a lifetime TiVo subscription and return your cable box to your cable company so you're no longer renting that. (You'll only need to rent the card for $3 a month.)
So your choices for having cable and a DVR are:
Those are your choices. TiVo is the only major maker of consumer DVRs. Essentially your only other choice besides a TiVo is a cable company DVR. Originally there were two competing DVR makers, TiVo and ReplayTV but they folded about five years ago.
TiVo's original business model was:
1. Sell the hardware for less than cost. But require the service for them to be useful.
2. Collect and collect and collect fees.
3. Profit.
(Sounds like certain cell phone plans, doesn't it?)
One big change is that most of their income in recent years comes from patent fees. They've sued AT&T and others and make quite a lot of money that way. They even get money from your cable company for patent fees for DVRs. But, many of their key patents are expiring soon. That and the changes to the cable industry is pretty much going to kill TiVo as we know it.
You can do a lifetime subscription, which makes up for the discount on the hardware and then some. Unless you get a deal on that. And deals, especially on older hardware, are common.
Waaay back when, I was talking to the head of US research for a major Japanese electronics company. His anger at TiVo was barely contained. What they, and others, wanted to do was sell DVRs like VCRs, with included service. But they knew there was no point since consumers would see cheap TiVos and costly other DVRs and buy the TiVos.
Without much real choice in the market, very few people bought DVRs. TiVo basically killed the consumer-owned DVR business. I.e., their business.
Don't want to pay TiVo fees? Don't buy their DVRs. And don't complain about it.
When I first heard about TiVo in an email newsletter in 1999 I immediately got the significance of the idea. It wasn't merely a digital VCR, it was a way to create your own, personal TV channel, just as the advertising said. That sort of 'TV of the Future!' grandiose ad statement is usually nonsense filler, but in TiVo's case it was totally true (the key to it being that it would be constantly recording in the background 24/7, even while you played recordings). In a way TiVo was the precursor to today's streaming paradigm. It was streaming, but only in real time and using a hard drive to hold a small library.
What really turned out to be TiVo's problem was that you can't patent an idea. Once people began to see DVRs usefulness other companies scrambled to implement it. Some, like DirecTV, actually licensed the TiVo software to run on their hardware for a couple years. But only until they, and all the cable companies, could produce their own (much shittier) DVR software.
I don't see that initially selling expensive to buy DVRs (but without a monthly fee) in the first place would have been any more successful. Less so actually.
As to the pay-up-front model, it would have been expensive at first. The Asian electronics companies were quite eager to get into the DVR market. Once DVRs became major commodity products with several major competitors, the prices would have come down. Instead we got stuck with TiVo. A really poorly run company. (They can't even run a functional web site.) Their products and services are overpriced as a result.
It is indeed the case that a lot of people didn't/don't "get" DVRs. I didn't think we needed one until we were given one. It took only weeks before it completely swayed us.
We rarely watch anything in "real time". And since our DVR can play stuff from a variety of sources, we watch a lot of non-traditional TV and whatnot using it.
But DVRs never broke out big time. Practically a niche product. Even with the cable/satellite DVRs, many people don't use them like they could and are drifting towards the streaming model. (Interface issues are a major problem.)
I came here initially to tell about my TIVO experience, but I see I already mentioned my second generation brain-dead TIVO in the earlier incarnation of this thread. (I'm in Canada, so no TIVO service was available at the time.)
SO I bought a regular DVR (Toshiba?) but I had satellite, not cable, so the only DVR feed was channel 3. I had to pre-program the satellite receiver to switch to channels on schedule to allow the DVR to work. It was great, especially the feature for burning DVD's off the recorded shows. However, the hard disk died, and it was a proprietary setup so it was simpler to get a DVR integrated with the satellite receiver than to repair the thing. (New satellite box also did HD, a step up.) That was fine until that device started dying (hard disk failure) and I had to deal with Bell Expressvu technical services. Send a dead DVR back with a tracking number and they try to see if I don't notice that they "didn't receive it" and I owe them $600. Twice.
Standalone DVR's have pretty much disappeared since almost every cable company now offers them built in (in some way) to the cable box - at least here in Canada. USA cable service may not be up to 20th century standards yet.
The TIVO was a step beyond. It tried to analyze your viewing habits and recommend TV shows (IIRC didn't it even record them on its own?) There's the web article posting "Help! My TIVO Thinks I'm Gay" from some guy who watched Will & Grace and some cooking shows. It kept recommending shows with gay themes and characters. IIRC there was also a Sex & the City episode about the TIVO suggesting shows, and another about "all my recordings have disappeared!".
To do this, of course, it needed in-depth details about shows on your local TV service - hence its own internet based TV-guide service that you had to subscribe to - and online feedback on your viewing habits from the device.

Sake poured over a whale
Researchers pour sake over a minke whale at Ayukawa port in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture April 26, 2014, after four Japan's research whaling ships returned from a one-day hunt for minke whales off the prefecture. The research hunt will operate until June 11 to take up to 51 minke whales from coastal waters, local media reported. Japan said last Friday it would conduct a sharply scaled down form of its annual Northwest Pacific whaling campaign this year despite an international court ruling last month against the mainstay of its whaling programme in the Antarctic.

Capcom's Growth Strategy: More Sequels Made More Quickly by Less People
Written Wednesday, September 05, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Capcom intends to up the amount of games it makes per year, but reduce both the manpower and development time afforded to each title.
The company's growth strategy of more games made more quickly by less people was revealed in its annual report today.
The report also outlines Capcom's intention to produce more sequels, with shorter sales cycles of 2.5 years and DLC support spread across the first two years of a game's life.
In this new approach, 20 per cent of development investment funds will be funneled into the creation of new titles.
"Teams developing major titles will be limited to 100 members, with multiple sequel titles developed at the same time," reads the report.
"Also, as it will be necessary to create a large-scale development structure for shortening the development process, we will strengthen in-house development staff recruitment."
"In addition, we will increase the number of titles released in a single year and expand earnings using a hybrid development model whereby the core portions of the project are developed in-house by Capcom and the process-work is outsourced to outside development companies."
More games. More sequels. Less people. Less time. This is the age we live in.

Having been ripped off by this company, I attempted to get my money back. When I tried to invoke a 3-day right of recision I found out that South Carolina apparently has a law that denies this right to anyone doing business in the state. Nice tourist trap setup and Mr. Gardner makes a good living exploiting it. Yes, Mr. Gardner, even after three years, I'm still here and you still owe me.

AUTHOR: Field Nation and Essintial UNFAIR! - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, February 02, 2013POSTED: Saturday, February 02, 2013
I did absolutely nothing to cause these long holds as I most often did not even have the chance. Typically these long hold times would occur waiting for the 3rd or 2nd (and occasionally even the 1st) level operators to even get to my call as, apparently, these operators were busy with other calls. This kind regular overwhelm indicates it is most likely the result of Essintial's personnel management deliberately understaffing its call centers rather than just a series of incidental times of high call volume. I had grown used to these wait times as I was once paid for them along with the rest of my work time.
However, after my final job, Essintial decided to stiff me out of half of the pay (some $200!) they agreed to give me according to their own policy due to "excessive on-site time," identical to the situation that occurred to the original reporter. As a considerable portion (almost half) of the time on the job was spent either on hold or waiting for call backs, I considered this so unfair that I refused any further work orders from Essintial. Further, as Field Nation decided to give me the runaround when I attempted to contact them about the matter, in the end, I quit Field Nation as well.
Further, the rebutter first claims to be a "company owner" and in the first sentence of the rebuttal says that he/she has "been doing a number of jobs for Essintial." Which is it? If somehow it is both, why would this person not explain how he/she came to be in this rare position (possibly indicating a conflict of interest)?
Therefore, I find the original report rings very true according to my experience, and, in fact, I question authenticity of the 1st rebuttal.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company

Platform work is always "interesting" in that you are dealing with multiple company's needs and requirements for documentation. My answer is OVER documentation of the work I do, calls I make to open, close tickets and who I talked to, both on the phone and onsite. It takes a little bit more time (maybe 10 minutes a job), but it pays off with no "push back" on hours and materials billed. Of course, I coordinate materials and travel costs BEFORE accepting the job. No surprises makes the payment faster!

ARLINGTON, Va. -- The last American veteran of World War I has been laid to rest.
Frank Buckles was buried Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery, just 50 yards from the gravesite of Gen. John Pershing, under whose command he served.
Buckles' flag-draped casket was carried to the gravesite on a caisson led by seven horses. After the service, Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Chiarelli handed the flag to Buckles' daughter, Susannah Flanagan.
Before the burial, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden paid their respects to Buckles and offered condolences to his daughter.
Buckles lied about his age to enlist at age 16 and outlived the approximately 2 million Americans who served in WWI.

Transcriptional profiling in an MPNST-derived cell line and normal human Schwann cells
cDNA microarrays were utilized to identify abnormally expressed genes in a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST)-derived cell line, T265, by comparing the mRNA abundance profiles with that of normal human Schwann cells (nhSCs). The findings characterize the molecular phenotype of this important cell-line model of MPNSTs, and elucidate the contribution of Schwann cells in MPNSTs. In total, 4608 cDNA sequences were screened and hybridizations replicated on custom cDNA microarrays. In order to verify the microarray data, a large selection of differentially expressed mRNA transcripts were subjected to semi-quantitative reverse transcription PCR (LightCycler). Western blotting was performed to investigate a selection of genes and signal transduction pathways, as a further validation of the microarray data. The data generated from multiple microarray screens, semi-quantitative RT–PCR and Western blotting are in broad agreement. This study represents a comprehensive gene-expression analysis of an MPNST-derived cell line and the first comprehensive global mRNA profile of nhSCs in culture. This study has identified [similar]900 genes that are expressed abnormally in the T265 cell line and detected many genes not previously reported to be expressed in nhSCs. The results provide crucial information on the T265 cells that is essential for investigation using this cell line in experimental studies in neurofibromatosis type I (NF1), and important information on normal human Schwann cells that is applicable to a wide range of studies on Schwann cells in cell culture.
Key Words: Cancer; NF1; MPNST; T265; Schwann cell; cDNA microarray.

In my appearance menu I have: Themes, Widgets, Menu, Theme Options, Background, Header, Custom Design, Mobile, iPad,
But no editor? Has there been an upgrade in the newer WordPress versions that don't allow the editor, my guess is the Custom Design offering has replaced this and it now costs to tweak Site Titles, Headings etc?? Am I right?
Any help much appreciated, i'm a novice,
Have I installed it wrong?

Publisher's Description
The third millennium. It's a time of tremendous opportunity for the church--and tremendous challenge. More than ever, pastors need a model for ministry that can equip them for the rigors of a restless, increasingly secularized culture. In the 21st Century Pastor, David Fisher explores the apostle Paul's concept of ministry to offer a paradigm that is both biblical and relevant. Paul's view is fleshed out with examples from Fisher's own twenty-five years of pastoral experience, presenting a roadmap for today's pastor that is scholarly, practical, dynamic, and inspiring. The 21st Century Pastor first addressees crucial issues of pastoral identity, the significance of geography, time, and ecclesiology. It then explores Paul's metaphors for ministry (jars of clay, farmers and builders, servants and stewards, and others) to reveal an accurate portrait of an effective, biblical pastor--the kind who will speak to the heart of modern culture rather than languish on its fringes. Filling the rare role of a pastor to pastors, Fisher's sage insights help pastors answer their own identity questions, empowering them to minister to a deeply needy society. Says Fisher, "Pastors who know what time it is will, in the name and power of God, create communities of faith where the values of the Gospel are embraced, taught, and lived out."

FSF Settles with Cisco over Licensing
In December 2008, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) filed a lawsuit against network giant Cisco, claiming that its subsidiary Linksys had multiple violations of the GPL. The two parties have now reached an agreement.
As part of the agreement, Cisco is appointing a Free Software Director for Linksys who will oversee Linksys' compliance with free software licenses, primarily the GNU General Public License. The director is to report periodically to the FSF about its compliance efforts.
Cisco also agreed to publish a licensing notice on the Linksys website and in a separate publication, notify Linksys customers of their licensing rights under FSF guidelines, and provide free source code downloads of the parts of Linksys products affected by the licenses. Cisco is also to contribute monetarily to the FSF to promote their efforts.

|Message Authentication Code (MAC) Validation System: Requirements and Procedures
|May 01, 1988
|The National Bureau of Standards Message Authentication Code (MAC) Validation System (MVS) tests message authentication devices for conformance to two data authentication standards: Federal Information Processing Standard Publication (FIPS PUB) 113, "Computer Data Authentication," and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) X9.9-1986, "Financial Institution Message Authentication (Wholesale)." The MVS is designed to perform automated testing on message authentication devices which are remote to NBS. This publication provides brief overviews of the two data authentication standards and introduces the basic design and configuration of the MVS. The requirements and administrative procedures to be followed by those seeking formal NBS validation of a message authentication device are presented. The requirements described include the specific protocols for communication between the message authentication device under test (DUT) and the MVS, the types of tests which the DUT must pass for formal NBS validation, and general instructions for accessing and interfacing to the MVS. An appendix with examples illustrating the MVS testing protocol is provided.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2014-01-01/Traffic report
A year stuck in traffic
To close out 2013, here is the first annual traffic report, showing the 25 articles which gained the most traffic over the entire year. Rather than annotating individual topics, I thought it would be best to strip the list down to the bare essentials and then discuss any overall trends that emerge. Broad themes are color-coded in the key below. For the top 25 topics for this week, see WP:TOP25.
Rank Article Class Views 1 30,437,829 2 Deaths in 2013 List 21,032,962 3 Breaking Bad 17,184,556 4 16,930,496 5 World War II 16,632,652 6 Youtube 15,863,520 7 List of Bollywood films of 2013 List 15,734,806 8 United States 15 324 117 9 The Walking Dead (TV series) 14,506,197 10 Game of Thrones 14 222 748 11 Yahoo! 13,473,783 12 Nelson Mandela 13,239,155 13 The Big Bang Theory 12,843,248 14 Arrow (TV series) 12,285,242 15 Wikipedia 12,119,569 16 India 11,799,639 17 How I Met Your Mother 11,744,355 18 Jennifer Lawrence 11,335,347 19 Sex 11,180,431 20 Eminem 11,113,512 21 IPv6 10,547,448 22 Macklemore 10,376,268 23 Abraham Lincoln 10,103,779 24 Doctor Who 10,031,624 25 2013 in film List 9,945,953
Key Website People TV show Film Country Other topic
The first thing that should leap out is that this list is not a random hodge-podge of disparate topics. In fact, the majority are relatively evenly split between three themes: people of interest, television, and websites. The second obvious trend is that the quality of the articles on this list is noticeably higher than for those in the weekly roundup—articles with a sustained level of high traffic are more likely to attract dedicated editors.
Determining the popularity of website articles is somewhat problematic, as it is currently impossible to say with certainty whether such views are the result of honest interest, or users accidentally clicking the Wikipedia page on Google's search list instead of the website itself. Given that the articles' respective popularities are largely inline with their sites' Alexa rankings, the latter hypothesis does seem credible. Access to more detailed search information, such as bounce rate, might help resolve the issue.
Primacy of television
As for one of the other overarching topics—television—it seems that, with access to all of human knowledge at their fingertips, what English-speakers truly wish to know is what's going to happen on their favourite shows. Whether it intended to or not, Wikipedia has arguably become the most popular TV listings guide on the planet. With the possible exception of literature, television is the deepest and most penetrative of all forms of pop-culture, and engenders the most fervent interest over long periods; this probably explains why TV, and not films or albums, is the dominant medium on this list. Having said that, this year was also marked by a sharp rise in the popularity of Bollywood, with the Bollywood list becoming a more-or-less permanent fixture in the "Traffic report"—a reflection of the growing importance of Indian users on the English Wikipedia.
What is most interesting is which shows are present and which are not. While American shows predictably dominate (the only non-American show, Doctor Who, owes a substantial portion of its popularity here to its golden jubilee), only The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother regularly appear in the US Nielsen top 25 ratings. The rest are either genre shows likely to appeal to an Internet-friendly audience (Arrow, Doctor Who) or cable shows that draw their audiences through new channels such as Netflix.
The third running theme is people. Despite the overshadowing of Nelson Mandela's death by the more dramatic demise of Paul Walker, Mandela's long illness ensured continuous interest throughout the year and ultimately gave him a leg up in the race to posterity. It's not really surprising who Wikipedia's most popular woman and actor is. The entire world fell in love with Jennifer Lawrence this year; between winning an Oscar (and tripping up endearingly on the podium), generating record-breaking box office for her signature franchise, The Hunger Games, and starring in critically lauded autumn hit American Hustle, there was no shortage of reasons for people to follow her.
While albums didn't make the chart, musicians certainly did. Eminem released an album this year, while Macklemore was the first person since Lisa Loeb in 1994 to release a #1 single without the help of a record label. A surprise visitor was Abraham Lincoln—buoyed, no doubt, by his Oscar-winning eponymous biopic and by the 150th anniversary of his most famous oration, the Gettysburg Address.
Most popular countries
What is the most interesting country in the world? Turns out it's the one you, statistically speaking, likely live in. The relative popularity of countries over the year tracks with their number of English speakers likely to have a secure Internet connection. In other words, the more residents likely to access the English Wikipedia, the more popular the country. The only exception, oddly, is Canada, whose citizens are apparently too humble to look themselves up. Incidentally, the same pattern holds true for every other language Wikipedia.
The perennials
Let me finish by offering a shout to those topics that have intrigued viewers pretty much since the start: Deaths in [insert year here], sex and World War II. These topics know no trend, they follow no pattern; they just are, and always have been. Sex is pretty easy to explain. Just as people have always used dictionaries to look up rude words, so people will always use Wikipedia to learn about verboten topics. As for the other two? The war is still a cultural touchstone in most of the Anglosphere, and certainly in the UK, where I live. And it must be said that besides sex, the one topic that people appear to obsess about the most is death.
Thanks again to readers for all of their support, and I sincerely wish all of you a very happy 2014.
- The traffic report is a curated selection of data taken from a bot-generated list. As that includes many entries that are due to botnets, spammers, and DDoS attacks, personal judgments must be made as to which entries are automated, and which derive from honest human interest. Given the limited tools at the Signpost's disposal, the selection of entries and the reasons assumed for their popularity are largely educated guesswork. If you wish to see the original list, free of selection or commentary, it is here.
- It's been a good year. Thanks for all your work. I read just about every traffic report. I appreciate a nice curated list with commentary—even if the commentary sometimes comes off as a little jaded. I hope the report makes it through another year, but I have my doubts. That's fine with me, because I realize it might be more of a hassle for you than it's worth. Plus, I appreciate everything you've already done. Bobnorwal (talk) 16:41, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- You've done good work, and readers appreciate it. If it becomes too tedious to administer, a plain ranked list of the top N sites would still be worth including in Signpost, I think. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:50, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
- I always read the Traffic Report first in Signpost. It gives a quick feel of the real time life of the project like no other approach. I also appreciate your thoughtful analysis of the data. Thank you for your efforts. Lumos3 (talk) 11:01, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Reviewing Anna:
A) squeezed in the +1 from 4th level in the abilities section.
B) HP, the base HP from HD went from 14 to 18. Fixed.
C) BAB went from 1 to 2. Fixed. You are no longer at a negative to slap someone.
D) Even on the skills you cannot use, I filled in the ability bonuses.
E) I filled in the DCs for your spells.
F) Why did you take Hideous Laughter at fourth? It is your automatic bloodline spell at fifth. I don't know if you can take a different spell as your bloodline slot if you already have the default one. So, it is probably a good idea to choose a different spell for learned at fourth level. There are several compulsion spells that look interesting. Oppressive Boredom looks nice at DC 21. I don't think you get the language dependent boost, but all the other DC boosts add up. UM spells are available as of Nov 18th. Bungle is an awesome looking first level spell for your swap in.
G) Inventory: Traveling a bit light?
So, I highly suggest picking a different 2nd level spell that you learned at fourth level. Other than that, I APPROVE Anna for fourth level play.

I am reviewing Syl.
I cleaned up a lot of formatting things and filled in some stuff as well in most sections. Mainly with the adventure links because it is the same as Borric's and I could copy it across.
Before Approving there are some things that need to be checked:
1. Add in where the skill points were spent for each level up
2. The Skill Points total was off by one. The headband is a temporary bonus to Intelligence. It will allow for extra spells per day, but not Skill Points. So Syl's Intelligence is effectively 19 for determining Skill Points
3. I looked at your headband and there was some mistakes on that, I fixed them.
4. You need to include a log of changes to Walter too as you level up.
I have not looked at finances yet. Mainly because he is suffering from medium encumbrance and if he went shopping with Borric, then he would have probably bought a masterwork backpack and a belt pouch or something to alleviate the encumbrance issues. In any case, his total weight is 31 lbs, 5 over the limit for light encumbrancePlaying & DMing: PF and SWSE

Thanks PM. I somehow never knew this thread existed!
I'll get Waltor fixed.
Also, at 5th level, I don't think I have a pressing need for the tanglefoot bag and the flasks of acid. Selling those will get Syl back to light encumbrance.

Reviewing Kalinn Ari (Frost):
A) I had to check for myself. Your innate 5 cold resist doesn't stack with the new draconic cold resist. I thought they might. Oh well. I listed the innate resistances in the combat section.
B) The thrown dagger to hit was off. Fixed. I also replace Ability with the STR or DEX as appropriate.
Frost is APPROVED for 6th level.

I also considered the character, and Shadow himself. Shadow is the second set of eyes and nose to Aradra own. He won't be participating in combat unless Aradra gets attacked. Aradra is training him to be an intimidating machine, which will give him something to do in combat. That will be a while though.
Therefore, as crazy as it sounds, I am sticking to my original plan.
Thursday, 26th January, 2012, 10:51 PM #10
OK. Aradra is APPROVED for fifth level.

Under the 'WordPress Location Archives' setting it says:
Location custom post types can have archives, just like normal WordPress posts. If enabled, should you visit your base slug url http://beat-magazine.co.uk/wp/events/ and you will see an post-formatted archive of previous locations
Is that the correct URL? It is the same URL given elsewhere for the events archive and it doesn't list the locations.
Also, what does the word 'previous' mean in the context of locations?
