Yes thats too true Steer.. Abramovich would buy players he likes thehn tell the manager make it work .. If he can't the manger is usually the one fired.. Abramovich is a hostile owner in the sense that he doesn't trust the manager (who he hires to do the job of managing the team).. Which I thought is the point of a manager? You hire a proffessiional manager who knows how to buy players, and selects them for the seccess he feels would be best for the club..Thing is as our owners become more knowledgeable about football would they do the same? We've seen that they didn't trust KD in the long term.Granted they gave him far more time than Abramovich did. As Abramovich would've sacked KD in the first few months if he didn't like the results he was seeing..

Ultra-modern house contrasts with old-town Racine
Published: Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 8:51 a.m.
RACINE, Wis. — This industrial city on the western edge of Lake Michigan has miles of shoreline, but no one would confuse it with East Hampton. When Vera Scekic and Robert Osborne filed plans for a new house here with construction costs estimated at $476,000, it was the largest residential application in years, said Rick Heller, the city's chief building inspector. New houses in Racine, he added, are mostly built by Habitat for Humanity and other charities.
A detailed plan for conservation, from start to finish
The house owned by Vera Scekic and Robert Osborne has dozens of green features, from familiar energy savers (compact fluorescent bulbs; ceiling fans) to more esoteric devices (an exhaust fan to vent carbon monoxide from the garage). The insulation in the walls is Biofoam, made from agricultural materials, including soy.
To cut down on the amount of lumber used, studs were placed 24 inches apart, instead of the typical 16. Because there are fewer studs than usual, the floor trusses had to be placed directly over them, to transfer loads efficiently.
Many materials were sourced locally or regionally. The concrete boards hanging over much of the house are from Chicago, the windows are from Iowa, and the concrete pavers — which are permeable, to minimize runoff into Lake Michigan — are from Wisconsin. And as many workers as possible were local. "Every mile not driven counts," Osborne said.
Among the house's water-saving features are low flush toilets. Much of the rain that hits the roof is directed to 75-gallon tanks on the side of the house; it is then used to water the garden. Other runoff is directed by rain chains to underground pipes, from which it finds its way into Lake Michigan without eroding the hill behind the house.
There are two kinds of photovoltaic panels: On a platform behind the house are the traditional glass panels; on the roof are "thin film solar laminates," which Osborne said "are a little lower in efficiency, but they're a bit cheaper, and a lot easier to install — you just glue them down onto the roof, like you're applying shingles." The house is on the electric grid, so the owners sell the energy the house captures to a utility, which pays them nearly twice as much for the energy they produce as it charges for the energy they use. The solar hot water system comes with a backup water heater, which Osborne hopes will be needed only during the coldest and cloudiest stretches of winter. The tankless unit begins running when someone presses a button over one of the sinks.
Indeed, for some in this city 30 miles south of Milwaukee, the arrival of a new house, built from the ground up by local contractors, is reason to rejoice. Jane Cascio, an artist who lives nearby, said she drives past the house every day just to admire it. "It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen," she said.
But to others, the recently finished house is cause for consternation. With its modern exterior — the exposed steel beams and concrete walls, the expanses of glass offering views through the home onto Lake Michigan — it stands out in a neighborhood of Tudor, Georgian and colonial-style houses.
"I call it the ice cube. It doesn't fit at all," one resident wrote in the comments section of the local newspaper after it reported on the house.
The owners' response? This neighborhood of historic homes has developed over time, and there is no reason it should not continue to evolve. "In 50 years," Scekic said, "this may be considered a historic house."
Brian Johnsen and Sebastian Schmaling of Johnsen Schmaling Architects, the small Milwaukee firm that designed the house, point to one of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpieces, the SC Johnson Administration Building, 10 blocks away. "We were prepared, if there was opposition, to show that Racine has an architectural history," Johnsen said. "And it's not a history of mediocrity."
Scekic, 43, and Osborne, 45, moved here from Evanston, Ill., with their 10-year-old twin daughters, Sofia and Jasmina, to be closer to Scekic's mother, Bosa. An artist who grew up in Racine, Scekic now has a studio downtown; Osborne, a software developer, is commuting from Chicago until they sell their house there.
Scekic said she liked that the colors of the window frames — olive, orange, yellow — mimicked those of her abstract paintings, several of which hang in the all-white living room. "We wanted a house with some levity," she said.
And plenty of light.
"When you're in the house, it clears your mind," she said. "It's white and bright, a cleansing kind of light."
But it is also a house with a serious point to make.
Climate control is achieved by a geothermal system that relies on the fact that, 200 feet below the surface, the soil stays at 55 degrees; antifreeze pumped through the walls heats or cools the house. There are two photovoltaic arrays (one on the roof, another in the backyard) that produce electricity on sunny days, and a separate system that provides solar hot water.
The house is only the second in Wisconsin to receive a LEED platinum rating. LEED standards sometimes reward large, wasteful houses simply for using green technologies, but here green wasn't an add-on. Osborne and Scekic made sure the house stayed compact — just 1,900 square feet — by restricting themselves to a single-car garage and a single bathroom on the upstairs level, Johnsen said. "I can't think of the last time we built a house in which the family shared the bathroom," he said.
The couple were willing to share rooms for the same reason — family togetherness — that they moved to Racine in the first place. Scekic's mother lives nearby in the house where Scekic was raised, and now helps care for the children. And "as she gets older, we'd like to be closer," Osborne said.
They initially thought about buying a house, but most of the ones along the lake were too large. They finally found a vacant lot and agreed to buy it for about $500,000. It was more than they would have paid to buy and demolish one of the neighboring houses, they said, but they were willing to meet the price to avoid destroying a usable building.
Next came the search for an architect. They were drawn to Johnsen and Schmaling in part because their firm is in Milwaukee, where they had gone to architecture school. "The fact that they wanted to stay in an industrial city and make a go of it gave us something in common," Scekic said.
Some of the house's green features — like the windows positioned to take advantage of breezes from the lake — cost nothing, Osborne said. Others required a sizable investment.
The heating and cooling systems, including the four geothermal wells, for example, cost about $100,000 (an amount reduced somewhat by a federal tax credit and a state rebate). Estimates of how much they will save in fuel costs vary widely, but the lack of reliable information was one reason the couple chose to install them.
"We will track them, and hopefully get some hard data that people can use," Osborne said.
For the architects, the house was a chance to experiment with using green features in a residential design. From what could have been a boxlike house, they carved away parts of the volume, creating a landscaped two-story courtyard and a pair of outdoor rooms upstairs. The cutouts satisfied the clients' desire for cross-ventilation, while blurring the boundaries between inside and out.
"Even in the winter," Scekic said, "I don't want to feel like I'm stuck indoors."
The multilayered facades serve an environmental purpose as well: Sheets of CBF, a concrete board, are hung eight inches from the building enclosure, which is made of oriented strandboard and a VaproShield breathable membrane. That allows the facade to ventilate itself, limiting heat buildup in the summer.
Of course, installing the green features complicated the building process, Osborne said. Using a geothermal system, for example, required the well-digger, the heating and cooling specialist and the plumber to work together.
For that reason and others, construction took time. But the house was eventually built according to the architects' — and LEED's — high standards.
Among other things, LEED protocol required that the house be evaluated for air tightness. An inspector trained a blower on the facade and gauged how much air passed through it.
The house got a very high score. According to Osborne, the tester said, "If it were any tighter, when you open the doors, the toilets would flush."
Osborne likes repeating that line, and not only because it's funny. After a year of design and two years of construction, he said, "it's comforting to know that it was built right."

I'm adding a jQuery plugin, NOT a wordpress plugin into a wordpress installation. It works perfectly in all browsers except Firefox. I tried multiple jQuery plugins and its the same issue with all of them when used in WordPress. Everyone of the plugins I tested worked in all browsers except Firefox when used inside of WordPress. Google Chrome gives no errors, but firebug gives this error: jQuery("#platinumSponsors").jMyCarousel is not a function. For every plugin I tired, I get the "is not a function" error in FireFox. I'm surprised because all the plugins work like a charm in Internet Explorer. Does anyone know a solution around this?

I googled up on things to do in Sg. Golok before this trip. Unfortunately, there is nothing much to be done here. There were only websites on how to solicit prostitutes! It was really vomit inducing to read such things on the internet! Even star newspapers itself mentioned about the free company from GRO at the expense of very few cheap beers! No wonder sleazy men are flocking this place!
I didn't expect much from this trip, apart from maybe shopping for cheaper toiletries. I remember many brands are being manufactured in Thailand so we could get things cheap here.
Wat Photivihan, Tumpat
Before going to Golok, we stopped by Wat Photivihan at Tumpat for a short visit. It seems this temple housed the longest Reclining Buddha is South East Asia!
Kao jiam
Since all of us have not eaten breakfast, we had a plate of kao jiam here – the Siamese version of Nasi Kerabu. We also ordered Som Tam to complete our meal. After that, we had a short walkabout the area to take some pictures.
Som Tam
It seems that even in Kelantan, a predominantly home to the Muslims, there were many grand Chinese and Siamese inspired temples, built using people's generosity and the State's recognition of our constitution of freedom to practice one's religion!
Since we were told the night before of the bombings in Golok, I didn't expect that we would be going there. We didn't know how grave the situation was, hence we were led blindly. Our host downplayed the bombing but warned us to be careful and drive slowly when we reached there.
At the immigration checkpoint, we were led to a room where we would be filling up our immigration forms. However, we need to pay RM2 per person. There were a few people sitting at the desks, assisting us to complete our forms. I find it rather unnecessary because we can complete the forms ourselves – for free! Anyway, I didn't want to cause any unnecessary hassle, so I went along with the rest.
As we drove into Golok, there was police presence everywhere. We noticed that a road leading up to Merlin Hotel was blocked. We didn't think much about it. Our host said that, normally that street is very packed with people. It was merely a short drive through, so we didn't really see any wreckage.
Thailand's special cabling characteristics
We found a spot to park and went around on foot. The streets were rather quiet for a weekend. Many shops were closed. Somehow, we still didn't suspect that the bombings were that grave! Some shops opened went about their business and nobody seemed to be affected by it.
Most shops are closed
Our host somehow looked nervous and kept asking us to get into the car, so we could go have lunch. So, we did after just about 40 minutes of walking around the streets around Golok town. I find the things here are rather old fashioned – things like clothes, toys, crockery sets, so I didn't buy anything. I didn't even go to pharmacy to check out some of the toiletries sold because we didn't have time.
Army patrolling the street
Lunch was so so at a local restaurant but service was exceptionally good, since there were nobody else in the restaurant and only us occupying two tables.
Then our host rushed us to the immigration check point. I guess this concluded our trip to Golok. I checked my camera time stamp – check point to check point – 12.33 pm and 3.17 pm. Hahah! So I guess this is probably the shortest "overseas" trip ever! Beat my first trip to Macau – took only 6 hours! Hahah!
We drove past a Chinese architecture inspired mosque. It looked like a temple! But with minaret! I wished we could have stopped to take photos but somehow, the driver in front of us was in a hurry to go some place. It was then, we found out that, he borrowed a car from his neighbour opposite his house to ferry us and the neighbour's mom died! What a way to end a trip to Golok.
Warung selling kao jiam along Jalan Kebun Sultan
At night, we went to Jalan Kebun Sultan again, this time to buy some kao jiam from this lady wearing scarf, selling along the road side a few steps away from Warisan Nasi Kukus. Then, we went to Wakaf Bahru for Thai dinner. We went to Restoran Kg. Kulim – it was difficult to find this place – even our host got lost. LOL.
After we managed to find the place – it was just along the railway, we waited 1 hour and 35 minutes for dinner.. I was glad that we managed to ta pao some kao jiam and had our dinner at 8 pm before our second dinner at 9.35 pm! It was then, I found out how grave the situation was at Golok the night before. I wish for speedy recovery to the injured victims and condolences to the family of the dead. It was heart breaking news.
Luckily dinner was great after the really, really long wait. The specialty dishes – sam chan budu (sliced pork cooked with fish sauce), curry tong fun with prawns and ayam kampong bakar (roasted free range chicken) were really good!
Curry tong fun with prawns
That concludes our very short trip up north. I guess we could have done better with proper planning and wish that I've found this link before this trip. I guess we have to wait for it till another trip to Kota Bharu to discover other places.

Hello everyone!
I am completely newbie to WordPress. Just bought a theme from themeforest.com ( "EPIC theme") and I have a problem with buttons.
I can't upload images or drag my widgets anywhere.. When I press upload button to upload picture to my posts or to my portfolio - nothing happens.
I tried, my boyfriend tried(he also has WordPress site and everything works!) and then my other friend(who has WP site as well) accessed my admin panel from another computer and tried as well! It just doesn't work!
And also those widgets, they don't move at all! Can't drag and drop them :(
So I can not even upload my portfolio or any possible media material to my website :(
So it feels like admin panel is all glitchy, cause half or menus just are dead..
I just don't know what to do.
I checked my Safari preferences. Pop-up windows are not blocked. Plugins, Java and Java Scripts are enabled.
Any suggestions or ideas? Is it only me or someone else is also experiencing problems with this?

I found out my LinkedIn was hacked and all sorts of messages went out to my contacts. Any idea what, if anything, I need to do other than changing my password? I am really horrified that professional contacts received these types of messages from me, but I know there isn't much I can do. Any thoughts on what I can do if anything? Thanks.

Hello, I use Google Hangout and I am having issues with the sound. Whenever I watch You Tube or any other thing with sound, it is totally fine. However, when I use Google Hangout, the other person cuts in and out and it is to the point I can't use it. Any troubleshooting tips I can use? Thanks.

I've been using Google Hangout as I work remotely and often have to converse with my boss. However, I haven't gotten anything new for my laptop or had anything added/updated, and now I cannot see him on the other side. It is really annoying because it is our main form of communication. I've tried checking my camera, and I've told him to check his. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I need a document that stores real time, and I am thinking about having it in Google Docs, but I'm uncertain if this will do what I need it to do. I've lost too many documents while I am working away and forgetting to hit "save." I want something that will save no matter where I leave off. Will this work and is Google Docs the best place for this?

I have to save a variety of files, such as photos, Word, and Excel documents. I will probably need to save a Power Point as well. I want to ensure I don't lose my work, so is Google Docs a good place for this? Am I able to save all of my work there and not just Word or Excel? Thank you for your help.

Hi there, I am storing some information for school and I'm not sure if I should use Google docs or a USB drive. I do not want this information shared so I am concerned about the security of both. I know that Google docs would be better if I would lose the USB drive, but I also know that no one else but me would have the USB drive. Advice is appreciated.

How long will my information be stored on Google Docs? I want to store some files I use for work in the event my laptop crashes so I will not lose them. However, some of the material is sensitive and I do not want it store on there forever. Any advice?

My daughter has to use Google Docs for a project for school and I have never used it before. I do not have a gmail account. Can we use it without having gmail, or do we have to sign up for an account? Can I use it and link it to my yahoo email account? Thanks for any help!

Whenever I want to watch a video using wifi on my phone, I cannot. The video typically will not load or it is so slow it isn't worth it. I have to turn off the wireless and try again. This is very frustrating because I don't want to have to turn off wireless and I definitely don't want to use my data but short of getting a new phone, I'm stumped. Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this? Thank you.

Hello, I keep getting the error "wireless mouse signal quality is low" and I have to connect a wired mouse to use it. I have tried replacing the batteries, using a different port, etc. It is very odd that this message only shows up on occasion, though. Any suggestions on anything I can do? Thank you.
