These accidents are almost always caused by idiots that don't heed the
rules. They try to stand or they unbuckle their harness or other safety
device, or they don't keep their hands or feet inside the car. I visit
parks all over the world and I can't tell you how many times I've seen a
ride shortened considerably or stopped altogether because some asshole
wouldn't obey the rules. Last week I was on Disney's Tower of Terror and
our left was stopped and evacuated because some dumb shit refused to obey
the rules, so we all got screwed because of one kid, and as sad as it is

I've been a roller coaster enthusiast/hobbyist since 79. I've ridden most
of America's wood coasters, traveled the world to hundreds of parks and
ridden a host of non- coaster rides. In an accident, injury, or death the
story is usually..."The rider was doing something he/she shouldn't have
been doing; standing, defeating the restraint, getting too close to a
moving ride, showing off, etc." Most ride accidents are the rider's fault,
as in this video the rider was clearly standing or trying to.

Come and enjoy our island home with us. Koi Palms Cottage is located within our gated property alongside our lovely Koi pond, in the quaint town of Kailua. The owners live on the property in the main house.
The cottage is a 600 square foot 1 bedroom unit. The kitchen is equipped with 2 induction hot plates with stainless steel cookware and a convection oven / microwave oven suitable for baking. A full size refrigerator, dishwasher and a large granite island complete the kitchen space. The bedroom has a king sized bed with luxury linens and a flat screen TV. The living room area is comfortable and inviting. With a 40 inch LED Smart TV and a small library of books from titles we've read to books guests have left behind. Feel free to take one for the plane ride home.
Stroll two blocks to the white sands of Kailua Beach with your morning coffee or tea to see a breathtaking sunrise or through Kailua town at night. Relax and enjoy the tumbling waters of our pond and its colorful Koi fish dancing below your windows. The vacation cottage has one parking space and a private entrance.
This is a non-smoking property.
The site is very nice, air conditioned, beautifully decorated and with a host that was very helpful and accommodating. The apartment lays out and works as if it was larger...so it's very comfortable. and being in a lovely area so close to the beach and the heart of Kailua just adds to its attractiveness.
The Koi Palms luxury cottage is a fantastic property in beautiful Kailua. It is very well maintained and you can tell that the owners care about it very much. We did not meet them directly, but they took great care in ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect stay.
I would definitely recommend staying here, and hope to return again in the not so distant future!
First off, I like that that Tricia was really easy to work with, responds at a better-than-reasonable time and is accommodating. The cottage has everything that a vacationeer can ever hope for. I love the great details (quilted Hawaiian blankets, leaf-shaped wooden fan etc) and well taken care of. It was connected to, but isolated from, the main house. We appreciated the AC when we were there because it was really humid. It was an easy walk towards Kailua beach, which is of course a plus. The only thing that I thought we missed is meeting Tricia herself since we had a quite limited stay. Oh well, we intend to go back!
We have stayed in Kailua four times in the past ten years. This was our first time here, and our stay is four days. We were very impressed. The 'Koi Palms is spacious and exceptionally clean and very well cared for, more than we have seen in any other place we have stayed. The fish pond and small water fall outside our window was very relaxing and therapeutic. Kitchenware is up to date and lovely to use. Cookware is heavy bottomed stainless steel. The neighborhood is exceedingly quiet, for which we were grateful, since we had gone to have a good rest. The bed is very comfortable indeed. Living room furniture is comfortable to use. All video and audio equipment is in excellent working order. The two overhead air conditioners work very well, but we did not need to use them much as they breeze was wonderful. The outside grill and patio area are very pleasant to use. Really, there is only good to say about it and nothing negative at all! The washer/dryer unit was much appreciated. The host and hostess, Eric and Tricia, are cordial and helpful. Kailua Beach is a beautiful, quiet beach with Hawaii's white sand and turquoise water. It is a pleasant walk to the beach through a low-traffic, quiet, well-landscaped neighborhood. Everything they describe in their write up is true. What more could you ask? Many thanks for the wonderful accommodations!
We loved or stay here and would choose this place again. This place is exactly liked pictured. The kitchen is great with everything you need. The chair and futon couch in living room are extremely comfortable and the TV has great cable with more than plenty of stations. We enjoyed the Kailu Beach Park which is very nice and close with plenty of easy parking and owner had book recommending this great place as well as a few local restaurants that we tried. They also have a great TV in bedroom with a King Size bed that was very comfortable and decor is beautiful. We were able to hang our clothes and use the dresser for everything. The bathroom is great and shower is awesome. Air conditioning was in kitchen/living room and a another in the bedroom and work extremely well (had to make husband turn it up as he was freezing me out lol). The provided lines were extremely nice, loved the Tommy Bahama beach towels. We washed clothes in the washing machine and dryer that were very nice. The beach chairs were great as well as umbrella, boggy boards and ice chest. All in all we could not have asked for a better place to stay. I would highly recommend this place for a couple that wanted a nice comfortable place to stay. I would not change a thing, and I am usually very picky about the places we stay. We were there with family that had all stayed at different places and ours was by far the most beautiful and most comfortable. Thank you for having a beautiful place with very reasonable rates.
I stayed here for eight nights and loved every minute of it. The description of property and location is absolutely accurate. The owners care for this as if it was their very own space. It is clean and beautiful, updated, comfortable, and stocked with everything anyone would need. The koi pond is such a sweet bonus, relaxing and right outside the window. The neighborhood is beautiful and the walk to the beach is easy and very safe. The location is perfect for walking into town as well and there are more choices of restaraunts and shopping than anyone could hope for. The landscaping is like a little tropical paradise. Tricia has just the right approach, happy to help with any questions or concerns but totally respectful of privacy. This was one of the best rentals I have ever stayed. Thank you so much!
Koi Palms Luxury Cottage is conveniently located within walking distance of world famous Kailua Beach and Kailua town restaurants and shops. We love to scroll the beach at sunrise and then walk to town in the early evening for a fantastic meal at Sangs Sushi Bar and Thai restaurant .

Nokia hasn't exactly wowed us lately, but that doesn't mean that you can't count on it. The launch of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is certainly proof of that. The new model uses a large 3.2″ LCD (640×360 pixels) that works well for both pictures and video. It comes with 8GB internal storage and uses the fifth generation S60 operating system. Unlike iPhone, 5800 comes with a decent 3.2MP camera and LED flash. Other interesting features include GPS, stereo speakers and WiFi. But the best thing about it is the price, which is about $350, €280 in Europe. Press release follows after the break;
Nokia amps up music offering with new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
Innovative 'Media Bar' and 'Contacts Bar' add human touch to music experience
Nokia Remix, London, United Kingdom and Singapore – Nokia turned up the volume on its music offering today by unveiling the new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, a mobile device for music that brings innovative new features to the mass market. Delivering on Nokia's vision to provide the best total music experience possible, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be among the first devices to support Comes With Music, Nokia's groundbreaking service which offers one year of unlimited access to the entire Nokia Music Store catalogue.
When it comes to music phones, people all over the world want a device that is a great music experience – with more memory, loud and powerful speakers, easy synchronization – and must still work well as a mobile phone with direct access to important contacts and content. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic delivers on all counts and allows consumers to access and share content.
"With the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, we set out to connect people through the one thing we all feel a universal connection to – music," said Jo Harlow, Vice President, Nokia. "The way in which people enjoy music is different around the world. With that in mind, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic gives people the freedom to experience music they love in the way they prefer."
Media Bar, Contacts Bar – putting people first
Taking advantage of touch screen technology, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic introduces the 'Media Bar', a handy drop down menu that provides direct access to music and entertainment, including favourite tracks, videos and photos. The Media Bar also offers a direct link to the web and to online sharing. Because the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic supports Flash content, individuals can surf the entire web, not just pieces of it. In addition, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic offers all the music essentials, including a graphic equalizer, 8GB memory for up to 6000 tracks and support for all main digital music formats, and a 3.5mm jack. Built-in surround sound stereo speakers offer the industry's most powerful sound.
Ensuring a seamless music experience, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also provides easy access to browse and purchase tracks from the Nokia Music Store, where applicable, while the newly updated Nokia Music PC software allows for easy drag-and-drop transfer of songs and management of any music collection.
The innovative 'Contacts Bar' lets consumers highlight four favorite contacts on their home-screen and, through a single touch, track a digital history of recent text messages, emails, phone logs, photos and blog updates.
"As Nokia's first mass-market device with a touch screen, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic turns a 'user interface' into a 'human interface' by truly putting people first. For example, we've introduced the Nokia Contacts Bar, which is like a digital RSS feed on your life," said Harlow. "By adding the benefits of touch screen technology to S60, the world's leading smartphone interface, Nokia is taking the familiar and giving it a human touch. We have used touch technology where it really adds value such as the Contacts Bar, Media Bar and clever shortcuts from the homescreen to menu items such as calendar, profiles and clock."
For the best screen resolution available on a mobile phone, the 3.2″ widescreen display brings photos, video clips and web content to life in vibrant color and true clarity. With a 16 by 9 aspect ratio and 30 frames-per-second playback and recording, the device is ideal for VGA quality video recording and playback.
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also features a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens and, with a single touch, images or videos can be shared via a favorite online community, such as Share on Ovi, Flickr, or Facebook. Music playlist song titles can also be shared through Bluetooth, MMS or online sharing.
Music for the masses
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic supports 60 languages worldwide, which covers nearly 90 percent of the world's population. As people around the world use their phones in different ways, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic offers a variety of input methods including a virtual alphanumeric keypad, a virtual computer-style QWERTY keyboard, a pen stylus — and for true music enthusiasts, a plectrum — are all available.
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be available worldwide beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 for an estimated retail price of 279 EUR before taxes and subsidies. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic featuring Comes With Music will be available early next year. Pricing details to follow.
Enhancing the experience, Nokia today unveiled four new music accessories including a new Bluetooth headset and three new stereo headsets.

The Northwest Seaport Alliance will release two new mobile applications, DrayQ and DrayLink, in early November as part of an effort to speed cargo flow through the ports of Seattle and Tacoma and along local freight corridors.
Under an agreement reached earlier this year, Ports America Chesapeake will assume operational responsibility for the Seagirt Container Transfer Facility at the Port of Baltimore on Oct. 31, the port terminal operator said in a statement.
Tailwind Capital has acquired the third-party automotive logistics provider from Corinthian Capital Group for an undisclosed sum, according to statements from the firm and BB&T Capital Markets, which served as financial advisor to MetroGistics.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Thousands of chassis in and around the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have containers mounted on them that are either owned or leased by the now insolvent ocean carrier Hanjin Shipping.
Various media reports have speculated the sale of South Korean liner carrier Hanjin Shipping, viewing COSCO and Maersk Line as possible buyers.
The International Transport Workers' Federation criticized the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) saying it was told by CBP that it had concerns crew could try and jump ship due to the Hanjin situation.

Oct 16, 11 at 3:00pm ^re: Forum Rules & Writing Guide
Story Writing Guide
Full credit for this guide goes to Underated.
What is the story writing guide?
What is a Football Manager story?
The idea of writing a story is to continually write updates of how you're getting on and to present them in a way which is both fun to read and nice to look at. Members may get bored with long, tedious walls of text whereas some may enjoy that. Some members won't read your story if it's presented dreadfully, whereas others won't care.
What makes a story popular?
There are so many factors that make a story popular. The writing, the layout, the use of screenshots, the effective use of mark-up, fictional stories, member interaction. There are countless ways to draw in members, you just need to exploit them.
Regular updates is always a way to bring popularity to your story. If people see your story at the top of the forum everytime they visit it, they are more likely to click on it, read it and possibly comment. Updating once a week and letting it slip down to page 9 is not a very good idea if you want to be recognized within that community as a good story writer. I'm not talking about updating the story several times a day, because everyone has a life outside of Neoseeker, but updating it several times a week won't hurt.
Make sure you also read the try to be original section as that sort of ties in with a lot of what I'm saying here. Originality and trying things that have never been done before is most definitely the way to go when writing a story.
I'm going to go through many types of SOMS we're all familiar with, showing you examples of what I feel are the best to demonstrate what I'm trying to say.
Different types of story
Layouts have always been a huge part of story writing on these forums, as a lot of people do not like reading stories that have been poorly presented no matter how good the writing may actually be. Similarly, stealing layouts isn't a very smart thing to do without permission. People prefer to see original layouts instead of old ones repeated over and over again.
If you plan to write a story like this, you need to make sure you're including a decent range of members otherwise you probably won't gain much interest. Giving members you don't know the chance to be included is also a good way to boost popularity and even make a few neo-friends yourself. =P
Academies did go through a bit of a rough patch, however. There were too many being created and closed within a week due to lack of commitment. People who create multiple stories and close them without really attending to them properly will soon end up with no credibility, and you never want to get into that position. Make sure that if you start one of these, you're going to have the will to finish it.
What I'm about to bring up is something we've seen on the forum countless times, and it's quite frankly becoming very boring. Starting off your SOMS with 'Alex Ferguson got sacked, I'm replacing him' is not a very exciting way to start your story and gain attention from the off. Try thinking of more creative ways to start it off, try being funny if you must. This isn't to say starting off your story with this scenario is wrong, it's just over used on the forum and there are tonnes of better ways to start it.
Effective use of mark-up
Now effectively using mark-up can be easy, but it can also be soul destroying. It may take a while to keep editing and previewing a match report, but once you're satisfied with the end product you'll never need to change it again unless you like mixing things up each season for example.
Here is an example of how I built up one of the most basic, yet effective match report styles.
Firstly, I started off with one basic screenshot showing the result of the match, followed by a short report on how the game went, finished with who gained the man of the match award. I was content with this, but all in all it just seemed pretty boring and unappealing and considering I'm not the best writer in the world, I wanted my mark-up skills to appeal to the readers more than my creative ones.
Liverpool vs Neoseeker FC
What a result! To be honest I didn't expect to win this so easily, but we dominated them from start to finish. At half time the score was 0-0, I told the team we could win this, and as Rob's morale was poor I told him I had faith in his ability. It seemed to do the trick, as soon as we got out there he scored with a trademark finish. Torres then leveled the game when jespomo misjudged a pass and was left to chase back. Super Spurs then smashed the ball into an empty net to take us into the lead again. I managed to score myself, and what a goal it was! From outside the box, the ball sailed across Itandje and into the top corner, a brilliant opening game for me. Rob then scored the second long shot of the game to completely wrap it up, what a way to start!
Man of the match: RobTheGooner
Well deserved MOTM here, Rob managed to score 2 goals and set up another one. Brilliant performance, let's hope his form continues!
With a few colour changes and the addition of several screenshots, I'm sure I changed the layout into a very appealing peice of work which was nice to look at and gave the reader more insight into what actually happened during the match. The use of the small, repetitive dashes above the report were there to add some style to it, nothing big but I feel they make a small difference.
Liverpool vs Neoseeker FC
What a result! To be honest I didn't expect to win this so easily, but we dominated them from start to finish. At half time the score was 0-0, I told the team we could win this, and as Rob's morale was poor I told him I had faith in his ability. It seemed to do the trick, as soon as we got out there he scored with a trademark finish. Torres then leveled the game when jespomo misjudged a pass and was left to chase back.

Although, having said that, mixing up the stories layout and mark-up routine is also something that brings originality and excitement to it. Sticking to the same format can become boring depending on the type of story and the frequency of updates. Chopping and changing the colours every once in a while won't hurt. Adding different screenshots to the mix is also something worth thinking about. Even if the screenshot is pointless and irrelevant, you're adding depth to the story.
Don't be afraid to try out different styles when you're creating stories. If you think something looks good and fits in, then post it. Remember, everyone has different opinions and you should always be open to feedback. If you think the member giving you feedback is talking sense and could help you improve the look of your story then take the advice on board and change it for the better. On the contrary, you don't have to take all advice given, and the member giving advice shouldn't feel offended by that. As I said, we all have our own opinions.
Commenting on other stories
Commenting other member's stories only in the hope that they'll comment back is not encouraged. Comment on someone's story properly, don't just give them the 'good layout and results, kutgw' treatment. It in no way offers any kind of feedback, and all it suggests is that you've spend 10 seconds skimming the report and looking at the final score.
Comment on other stories in the way you'd like members to comment yours. Set an example to people who enjoy commenting on stories but don't always offer the best feedback they can. If you're giving adequate feedback and recieving it, too, others are most probably going to take the lead and do it themselves. Setting an example in your comments is something you should do not only to turn yourself into someone to be looked up to, but to also guide new members into making those sorts of posts themselves. Crap feedback will be changed once members notice good feedback is actually apprecitated.
What to actually write about
Typically, updates are based around transfers and match results. Controversy is also something frequently written about. You can easily exploit controversial moments on the game and turn them into quality updates as they can be stretched out over the course of the whole story. Match reports usually consist of a screenshot (normally of the result) plus one or two paragraphs of writing explaining what happened over the course of the game, how the goals were scored, fan reactions, etc. Possibilites are endless, really, it's just up to you.
Mixing up and diversing from the typical update is always something members appreciate. Deviating from normal match and transfer updates and writing about pointless news items will always give your story depth and character. Depending on how you portay them, of course. Taking a screenshot and just pasting it into the update will never have members coming back.

A Guide to Story Formats and Layouts
From Stereo441
I was having a little think about what to do as the next blog when something suddenly struck me, rather than talk about all the different types of stories out there and the writing styles etc, I would focus more so on format and hopefully help people to make their own efforts more appealing to the reader. I know there is a very comprehensive guide to mark-up (linked at the bottom) which is horribly underused but this will hopefully get to more people and start them moving in the right direction.
It has to be said a good format can be the difference between a well received story and one that is very quickly cast aside. Lets be honest people want to see things as well as reading. For some stories they can get away with being mostly text due to their nature; for example Kesh's stories are more about the journey of a person and don't lend themselves as well to lots of pictures, but the content is absorbing enough to keep people interested; whilst other's could benefit with more in the way of imagery to help tell the story as opposed to reams of text, such as team stories with league tables, match facts, player screens etc. In writing this I was thinking well how do you know what's best for your story in terms of content and I came up with this:
Now, that doesn't mean you should just go away and stick picture into your story willy nilly, or have loads of coloured font, it's just as easy to overdo a stories formatting as it is to under do. Think long and hard about your layout etc before posting, preview it and step back and ask yourself what do you really think or what would others think, and heck look at others for inspiration. I will link a number of different styles of story and format below, which I think stand out. Hopefully they will be of use, and don't be afraid to take on board feedback or ask members for help.
I appreciate this may seem as though its directed towards new story writes, and perhaps they are the ideal audience but everyone has to learn somewhere and some of the better story writers may have benefited from such help when starting out. Below I have highlighted a number of techniques and code's you can use to brighten up a story, with examples and a brief description of each.
Border your pics:
Pictures can look messy when copied straight from a website into a story but they don't have to. One thing you could and probably should do is add a border to your pic. Simply copy the picture into a graphics package (MS Paint), draw a rectangle around and hey presto. Simple but effective:
The above pictures illustrate the difference between a picture with a border and one without. What do you prefer? Obviously you can get more creative if you want, such as multi-layered/coloured borders, or my current favourite, formatting the images in word with 3D effects.
Horizontal lines:
If you have an update with a lot of information, it can sometimes benefit from breaking bits of text up, or separating different sections dependent on their content. A great way to do this is using the horizontal line. This will simply insert a thin line across the length of the post, its nothing fancy but does a job:
<!-- endcode 0 --><!-- endcode 0 --> - Looks like:
As you can see its the perfect separator. I always like to have a small title at the top, with perhaps a sub title for the update and a date followed by one of these lines, before kicking into the bulk of the story.
Pre Tags
The name doesn't give much away but this can be a terribly handy piece of code, especially if your story involves posting scores in a teletext style. This will allow you to align a piece of text however you like on the page, with as much spacing as you need. For example take the below:
Man Utd 3 - 1 Liverpool
Scholes 43....Babel 23
Giggs 55
Macheda 91
<!-- endcode 1 --><!-- endcode 1 -->
Man Utd 3 - 1 Liverpool
Look how much neater it is than the above, not just in terms of presentation but in terms of ease of reading etc.
Floating text or images
Now this one is very new but a great little technique to neatening up your post. Ever had a situation where you want a picture on the left and text on the right beside it but you cant do it because theyare on different lines, well panic not because using the float tags will let you do this. The below example shows how a picture can be floated on the right of the page with text on the left. The text will automatically take a new line when it has reached the side of the picture:
<!-- endcode 2 --><!-- endcode 2 -->
See how the text is aligned to the left
Whilst the picture is alongside on the right
Brilliant isn't it.
And it will continue to do this right the way down the picture.
Give it a go. I personally thinks it makes for a much better looking layout. And using the little
technique below will also help you neaten up how close the text is to the left side of the picture.
Indenting your post
You know you don't have to start your text or images from the very left/right hand side of the screen, you can actually indent it so the body starts further into the post:
<!-- endcode 3 --><!-- endcode 3 --> looks like this:
You can use any number of these alongside each other to further the indentation. I find they can be particularly useful when you have several headings followed by a body of text. The text generally looks neater when indented, e.g.
My Title
This is a much more straightforward technique but one which can again be very effective if used correctly. You don't have to have everything down the left hand side of a page, in fact it can look very messy and boring if this is the case. With the align option you can have pictures or text on the left, right or centre of the pages. There is a flip side, in that over using these can again make your layout look messy so think carefully when aligning objects. Perhaps have a picture on the right with a caption below it and a horizontal line, with the main body aligned to the right. Its more
interesting and striking and oh so simple.
Bold & Italicised text
Another straightforward technique that can lift a story. Nothing is more difficult to read that line after line of plain unformatted text, so much so that it can immediately put someone off reading your story. Its not hard to break it up a bit or highlight key parts of the text. At least this way people may not read all of it, but can catch the more important bits. I have always been a fan of incorporating small segments of quoted text in a paragraph, and rather that just leave it like the
main body I tend to make it italicised and perhaps change the colour. This way people will notice the interview and are more likely to read it, which in turn can make them want to read the rest to put it into context. Bold text should be overused but can again be a good way to perhaps highlight a score or scorer, or to help make a title stand out more.
Font size & Font Colour
Don't be afraid to mix up the colour and size of the font used in your story. Most people are fans of using size 1 text, mainly due to its neatness but this doesn't mean its always appropriate or even necessary at all. I find the more text you have the better it is to keep your text size small, however a shorter update may be better kept to the standard size. Experiment with font size for things like titles or subtitles to help them stand out more from the body of the story. Colours should be used liberally. In some cases a solid band of colour can look messy but in other instances it may be appropriate and in keeping with the story. For example a Sparta Prague story may look best written in a dark red colour in keeping with the colour of their kit, where as a solid band of yellow text will just be sore on the eyes and very off putting. I like to use colour more for titles, captions and highlighting. I also think it looks good during a dialogue, separating each persons
comments and separating both from the main body. See links below for a more expansive list of colours.
Use Quotes
Quotes can be used in a way similar to how you would quote another members post. The most appropriate use is probably when posting up a managers comments or newspaper article. It can be a different way of representing the information and can help keep these comments seperate from the main body and tidy.
<!-- endcode 4 --><!-- endcode 4 -->
quote The Sun
Spoilers, Image links
On occasions you may want to link to an image rather than post it into the main story, and there are a number of ways to do this each which I feel has its own purpose.
<!-- endcode 5 --><!-- endcode 5 -->
If you have something that you don't want people to see straight away but you want it to form part of the update spoiler tags can be really useful. This way people can read through your update and at the very end click a button and bang, can you believe it!!!
Spoiler:Linfield Badge
Text Links:
<!-- endcode 6 --><!-- endcode 6 -->
Text links allow you to create a piece of text as a hyperlink to a screenshot uploaded onto the internet. They are great to use when you have a screenshot that you don't feel warrants a place on the the post or you intend using several, but you want people to be able to see it. A great example is when talking about signings. Rather than post up screenies of all their stats you can set the image link up on their name so people can click it and see what the player is like. Its a neat way to add some visuals without them being visible! (Does that make sense)
Example: Linfield badge
Image links:
<!-- endcode 7 --><!-- endcode 7 -->
The same as the above but in this case an image is displayed that when clicked links to another image. You might think what's the point but here is a great example......Its the big match, you write a big report and want people to see stats, scorers etc, but the screenshots will be too big. Well using the image link you could have a thumbnail image, that when clicked leads to a larger one, or you could have an image of the score that when clicked brings up the match stats. Simple but nice.
Lists are something I don't see used very often in stories but I feel as though they have a place. They are a simple little addition, basically listing a number of pieces of information in a bulleted list, one below the other. A good use for these would perhaps be when displaying odds for a new manager etc.
Useful ideas and links to spruce up your story
Newspaper article generator - Great little tool that allows you to make a fake article and save it as an image for your story. Helps vary updates and add's something different and interesting to your updates.
Website graphics - Get onto a website, take a screenshot and then try and get creative overlaying text boxes with information, or just copy the graphics and incorporate into your story. Every little thing helps make your story more unique and appealing.
Story writing guide - A guide to writing stories. Does what it says on the tin really.

Mark up Guide - A guide to various types of mark-ups and how to use them within your posts. A lot of what I said can be found here probably in more detail along with some other editing options.
Example stories
Below are a couple of stories which I feel make very good use of formatting, and should be an example to anyone getting into the story business!!
Skadoosh's - Arsenal returning to the top - A simple layout but very effective. Neat bordered pics, good text alignment and indentation, and small segments of Arsenal kit colours for titles etc.
My Academy - I know this is my storybut I wanted to highlight this post showing what you can do with websites to make for a nice realistic feeling post.
Xpronics Liverpool FC Mighty Reds - A story that makes a good use of screenshots to tell the story, and nice use of font sizes and colours. Easy on the eye.
Xpronic again with Reloading the Gunners - Another story with several screenshots and quotes, again easy on the eye and easy to follow.
Lastly Vincenzo's El Sbmarino Amarillo - Whilst perhaps overdoing the font colours he has shown numerous ways to use screenshots and font alignment to create an attractive story.
Well thanks for reading and I hope people find the above tips both useful annd interesting. Il now pass you over to my trusty assistant Aido who is going to provide a few more formatting tips, with particular attention to formatting of screenshots and picture.....
Story Writing Tips
From Aido
As well as those magnificent pointers from Stereo, as a member of the blog team and having written many stories throughout my time (albeit none of them memorable, or that long), I have managed to find some pointers that you can use when writing stories. There are many things that you can do to make sure that your story looks as memorable and as appealing as possible. The layout is a vital aspect of writing stories on this forum, many SOMS have failed because of the writer overlooking this part, Redemption has given you the tools you need so you best use them. So here are some of my own writing tips for you to use.
1. The balance of image sizing
From Pro King's Madagascar - Not Just a Country For Animals; this image is here, is one that I think could be improved. I apologize to Pro King for using his image as an example, but it had one flaw in it that can result in a nuisance for readers. The width is too long, it is over 1000 pixels in size. And the resolution of my monitor (1440 x 900) is not enough to display it all, I must scroll over to do so. The best images to use are ones in which there is no need to side-scroll, spoilers can be used, but there is one thing that Pro King could have done with that picture to make it much better. You see that big gap between the countries' names and the results? Well, what can be done is getting rid of it, saving massive space. Look now.
Around 400 pixels have been shaved off the width, making the image much better in terms of layout, as much of the unnecessary stuff have been removed. Cropping can massive changes in in age, so use it well.
2. Transparency & Having Images Side-By-Side
One other image tip regarding size regards using team logos side by side one another, as if showing a match between the two sides, look at this example between Real Madrid and Arsenal:
You'll see the two share common problems: The white backgrounds, and the different heights. In my opinion, the best way to have these kind of images is to have both in equal height and transparent backgrounds, the above looks like it was done lazily and doesn't give equality between the two images, they aren't balanced. Now look:
Much better, now your logos are perfect to be used.
Well that's it for now, you'll find more writing tips from me very soon, I hope you find these tips from me and Stereo441 very useful for writing your stories. Goodbye.

Benchmark Capital and FirstMark Capital invested in League of Legends and that turned out well, so they're hoping for repeat success with another free to play title, mech game Hawken. Combined, the outfits have sunk $10 million into the project.
"We are seeing the rise of the direct-to-consumer model, where all is downloadable and free-to-play," Rick Heitzmann, founder and managing director of FirstMark Capital, told VentureBeat. "You can disrupt the business with a free-to-play title. Gamers are willing to pay via virtual goods to do that. League of Legends is a fantastic title, but it is just one game and one genre that has blown up. We think it's possible to produce very high quality games that have huge audiences that are willing to pay."
Lasky added, "It's a phenomenon akin to other incumbent areas like music, TV, film, and newspapers, where the internet is disrupting both
business models and consumption patterns. We have seen it happen again and again. The internet levels the playing field."
Hawken is set to launch December 12 on PC.

New Yorkers Actually Drink Less Than the Nationwide Average. Really.
There's a new New York City drinking survey out, and chances are, you're a drinker, because more than half of New Yorkers of legal drinking age are (congrats!). We were surprised and vindicated to find, however, that New Yorkers on average (53%) actually drank less than the nationwide average (56%) -- so we're not quite the alcoholic sluts you think we are (commenter, we're talking to you).
Back to the alcohol portion of the program:
The report categorizes some important "types" of drinking, just in case you haven't ever seen an episode of Oprah: "Any drinking" is drinking anything alcoholic in the last month. "Heavy drinking" is drinking more than two drinks per day if you're a guy and more than one per day if you're a woman. And our old friend "binge drinking" is drinking five or more drinks in a single occasion in the past 30 days, also known as, "being a certain age and living in New York" and/or "going out."
Some interesting details:
--11% of New Yorkers who report drinking are heavy drinkers; 42% binge drink.
--56% of drinking adults choose beer; 1/4 pick wine, and 1/5 choose spirits. Good. More for us.
--Reported drinking in the past month has increased in NYC among underage college students (aged 18 to 20) from 45% in 2002-2005 to 57% in 2005-2008. Hmm....Four Loko?

There's also been a pretty big uptick in booze-related Emergency Department visits for adults, from 22,000 in 2003 to almost 74,000 in 2009 -- mostly in drinky enclaves like Lower Manhattan; Greenwich Village-SoHo, Gramercy Park-Murray Hill, and Chelsea-Clinton, as well as North and West Queens; Southern Brooklyn; and Greenpoint. Again, Four Loko?
No one likes an ER visit, not even the drunk person, and especially not the doctors and friends of the drunk person, so we'd suggest a simple rule to heed while drinking: Stop doing it before you have to go to the emergency room. We're grownups here, or at least we should be if we're drinking...is it too much to expect some semblance of maturity with that 5th gin and tonic?
Anyway, this stat that we drink less than the rest of the country, beyond being hard to believe, is a little worrisome. Unless we're lying...er, not at all what you'd expect from a bunch of drunks.

2013 House Bill 4328: Appropriations: 2013-2014 "omnibus" budget (Senate Roll Call 226)
Passed 24 to 14 in the Senate on June 4, 2013, the final version of the non-education portion of the state government budget for the fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1, 2013. This would appropriate $34.392 billion, compared to $34.355 billion the previous year. (When interdepartmental transfers are deducted the amounts are slightly lower.) Notably, the budget does not include $1.2 billion from higher transportation taxes Gov. Rick Snyder has recommended, or $1.5 billion from the federal health care law's expansion of Medicaid. It also does not permit the Department of Education to spend money on a "Common Core" curriculum initiative without explicit legislative authorization.
When amounts appropriated for education are added (see House Bill 4228), the state budget for the next fiscal year will be $49.520 billion, of which $19.331 billion is federal money. Total state spending from state taxes, fees, fines, etc. will be $30.189 billion, a 4.0 percent increase over the previous year.

Huffington Post follows Forbes into branded blogging
The Huffington Post UK is launching branded blogs at the start of next year, mirroring a service already offered by its US counterpart and Forbes.
The US version of Huffington Post already offers brands the chance to blog, providing a new form of advertising to clients like BMW.
Is the New York Times getting comments right?
November 30th, 2011 was yet another monumental day in digital media history that will swiftly fade from memory: the New York Times changed its comments section.
In the past few years, while the development of video content, photo galleries, and other interactive features raced ahead, the comments section continued to resemble something from the pre-iPhone days.
No longer!
The New York Times adopts the Google Labs approach
Google is arguably one of the most innovative companies of our time. A big part of that is that, despite the fact that the vast majority of its revenue comes from a single revenue stream (online advertising), the company has been eager to experiment with new ideas not necessarily related to search.
One of the primary ways it has conducted its experiments in public has been through Google Labs, "a playground where our more adventurous users can play around with prototypes of some of our wild and crazy ideas and offer feedback directly to the engineers who developed them."
Does Slovakia hold the secret to paywall success?
Here's a question most publishers would love to have an answer to: what's the secret to building a successful pay wall?
Although one might expect major publishers like the New York Times to eventually provide the answer, newspapers in Slovakia may have beat their Western counterparts to the task.
Newspaper circulation declines, even with free copies
Newspapers need help anywhere they can get it, and the Audit Bureau of Circulations is trying to help. Recently, it updated the rules it uses to calculate newspaper circulation.
One of the changes: free copies given to local schools and newspaper employees are now counted.
That should help, right? Apparently, it's not that easy. Despite the Audit Bureau of Circulations' good intentions, newspaper circulation in the U.S. continues to decline.
Financial Times: we don't need in-app subscriptions
Traditional publishers have known better days. The business models of the past are failing, and new ones that can take their place are, for many publishers, elusive.
But a few, like The Financial Times, are not just surviving, they're thriving. And increasingly, they're extending their success into new channels and onto new platforms.
The miracle of the New York Times pay wall
Yesterday, the New York Times officially rolled out its new subscription in the United States.
According to Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., the launch represents a "major step forward" for the storied daily he publishes.
According to Sulzberger, "It will allow us to develop new sources of revenue to strengthen our ability to continue our journalistic mission as well as undertake digital innovations that will enable us to provide you with high-quality journalism on whatever device you choose".
NY Times pay wall: the good, the bad, the ugly
One of the most storied news dailies, The New York Times, has been talking about a pay wall for well over a year. Like most newspapers, times are tough, and to survive and thrive, new sources of revenue must be found. For obvious reasons, subscriptions are one of the most appealing potential revenue sources.
Yesterday, The New York Times finally pulled the trigger and announced that it will be launching a paid subscription model later this month.
When is a deal no longer a deal?
According to a report by BIA/Kelsey, in just a few short years, consumer spending on 'daily deals' like those offered by Groupon and LivingSocial could reach $6bn.
So it's no surprise that the concept has been commoditized and everyone is jumping on the daily deal bandwagon. Take for, instance, major publishers like the New York Times which is launching its own daily deal service called TimesLimited.
Social media: job title, or part of the job description?
There's little room left for debate: any way you dice it, social media is mainstream. That should be good news for social media experts and gurus, right? Perhaps not.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that The New York Times was essentially eliminating its 'social media editor' position. The person who held it, Jennifer Preston, would become a full-time reporter again.
What you can learn from the web's most unscrupulous merchant
Last Friday, the New York Times detailed the antics of a gentleman who may be a contender for the web's most unscrupulous merchant. Unlike other unscrupulous merchants, including the lazy, the flaky and the scammy, "Mr. B" has taken great pride in his unsavory -- and potentially criminal -- treatment of customers.
Many of the responses to the New York Times piece have centered on Google's role in Mr. B's online business, which sells eyewear online. That's because Mr. B worked his site up the rankings by taking advantage of the fact that many of the complaints being posted about his business online were generating valuable backlinks despite the fact that these backlinks, of course, were not really positive signals.
Cord cutting is real. Even if cable companies won't acknowledge it yet.
Cable companies may have some very intricate ways of protecting their television business, but holding media companies to very strict partnership deals isn't going to retain subscribers forever. In addition to competition from telecoms and satellite providers, cable companies are dealing with consumers who don't want to pay their steep monthly TV bills.
But according to The New York Times, Americans are not giving up on their cable. That assessment doesn't account for the latest quarterly estimates. Or the large numbers of people who aren't cutting their cable so much as avoiding it entirely.

Sanders replied that shortly before he ended his three-year retirement last
August he received prescribed medication to treat an ankle he hurt playing
basketball. When Sanders took his Ravens' physical, he said steroids were
detected in his system.
"The next thing I know they're testing me weekly. I'm like, what's going on? I had never had a prior," Sanders said. "They told me I flunked the steroid test. I was on the random steroid test every week because I took something to help expedite my ankle.
"You could tell from my body structure that I could be on steroids because I'm big like that, but that's how innocent it could be."
Apparently, it's even more benign than Sanders' portrayal.
Hours after Sanders made his comments, the Ravens clarified his status within the NFL substance-abuse policy.
The Ravens said that Sanders never failed a drug test, but was given weekly drug screenings because he skipped a random drug test shortly before he officially retired from the Washington Redskins in 2000.
A failed steroid test would have triggered a four-game suspension under league guidelines.
"Deion never failed a drug test," Ravens senior vice president of public relations Kevin Byrne said. "When Deion had time left on his contract with the Redskins, he wasn't going to play again and he didn't go to the test. Under the letter of the law, that gives them probable cause.
"That's why he was tested. He might think it was because of his ankle, but it's not. The league is very careful with this because they don't want people accusing them of giving preferential treatment to Prime Time. He's never tested positive for steroids."
Ravens coach Brian Billick spoke later to Sanders, who apologized for causing confusion and promised he would clear up the misunderstanding today.
After butchering the pronunciation of Palmeiro, Sanders weighed in on the embattled Orioles slugger.
"You really don't want to jump the gun and speculate," Sanders said. "I'm sure there's a wonderful story behind it all. Let's just hope it's not what it seems."
In addition to being a long time contributor to RavensInsider, Aaron Wilson writes for the Carroll County Times in Westminster Maryland.

NEWARK -- Thousands of Newark residents may be without water on Monday morning when the city shuts off service to property owners who have not paid their bills in more than a year.
In some cases, property owners owe more than $100,000, officials said.
After a year of budget shortfalls, the self-funded Department of Water and Sewer Utilities is taking the aggressive action to collect roughly $29 million it is owed, said Michelle Thomas, the city's acting business administrator.
The shut-offs come after a series of letters were sent to property owners who have not paid their bills in over a year and have balances of $1,000 or more.
"We see this as good government and our being responsible to those who do pay their bills on time," Thomas said.
Though roughly 5,000 property owners are more than $1,000 behind in their bills, the first wave of shut-offs will begin Monday morning and target 1,600 of the worst offenders -- many of them landlords and owners of commercial properties who owe as much as $100,000 or more, Thomas said.
Thomas did not indicate when service to other delinquent customers would be turned off.
Housing advocates called the move "draconian," and said it unfairly penalizes tenants whose landlords are responsible for paying the water and sewer bills.
Matt Shapiro, president of the New Jersey Tenants Organization, said tenants have legal recourse should their service be shut off.
"If they're not being provided with basic services, they don't owe any rent," Shapiro said, citing a law that requires landlords to provide units that are "habitable."
"If you have no water, it's not habitable," he said.
Shutting off service to the 5,000 delinquent accounts could affect "tens of thousands of people," and that could lead to "all sorts of possible consequences that could affect the entire city" he said.
As news of the shut-offs began to spread, residents flooded City Hall, many either seeking more time to pay their bills or explaining their landlords are responsible for payment.
"I'm the only tenant in that building," said Michelle Kimber, who lives in a three-family home on Fairmont Avenue. Kimber said she has been unable to reach her landlord, who pays the water bill.
Kimber said she's worried that if her water is shut off, it won't be turned back on by Thursday, the first day of school for her two young children.
Fliers were posted last week throughout the city, on the affected properties, notifying residents of the impending shut-offs.
"The owner of this property has failed to make payment for water and sewer services," the flier says. It also says that once the water is shut off, it may take up to two days for it to begin flowing again after the delinquent bill is paid.
Anyone trying to illegally siphon water after it is shut off will be fined and possibly sent to jail, the flier says.
"Should the occupant/owner turn on the water, it will be shut off again, the shut-off at the curb will be dug up, plugged or capped and the excavation refilled," the notice says.
The city has shut off water to delinquent customers in the past, but curtailed the practice earlier this decade, officials said. However, because of its ongoing financial problems, the water department is returning to the shut-offs to get delinquent customers to pay up.
Though the water department, which has 38,000 accounts, is self-funded, it would have to seek money from the city if it cannot balance its budget, Thomas said.
"Should the utility not be able to self-liquidate because it does not collect the revenue that was projected this year, then the burden falls on the taxpayer," Thomas said today. "We will not let that happen."
Tenants and property owners can pay or dispute their bills by visiting room 117 at City Hall or calling (973) 733-6370 weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

The Man Who Would Be King
- Directed by John Huston
===Story=== A grandly entertaining, old-fashioned adventure based on the Rudyard Kipling short story, ''The Man Who Would Be King'' is the kind of rousing epic about which people said, even in 1975, "Wow! They don't make 'em like that anymore!" When director John Huston (''The Maltese Falcon'', ''The Treasure of the Sierra Madre'', ''The African Queen'') first started trying to make the film, with Gable and Bogart, the project was derailed by the latter's death. It was a few decades before Huston was able to finally realize his dream movie--and with an unimprovable cast. Sean Connery and Michael Caine are, respectively, Daniel Dravot and Peachy Carnahan, a pair of lovably roguish British soldiers who set out to make their fortunes by conning the priests of remote Kafiristan into making them kings. It's a rollicking tale, an epic satire of imperialism, and the good-natured repartee shared by Caine and Connery is pure gold. In today's screen adventures, humor is usually imposed on the material by a writer or director trying to make some kind of cleverly self-aware comment ("Hey, we know it's a movie!"), but that sort of jokiness can create so much ironic distance that it pushes the audience right out of the picture. Huston lets the humor emerge naturally from the characters, for whom we wind up caring more deeply than we ever expected. The digital video disc includes a wonderful documentary on the making of the film. ''--Jim Emerson'' ===DVD Features=== *Color *Closed-captioned *HiFi Sound *Widescreen

Conventional methods of measuring and gauging activity around open data seem incomplete and unsatisfying, and are mostly focused on online interaction. Unearthing additional elements and exploring the measurement of demand further would help increase understanding, inform the continued practical growth of open data efforts and activities, and hopefully result in more relevant, accessible, and widely used data. Data that is more widely used is more likely to serve as the foundation for positive reforms and changes at the local level. There is growing potential and evidence of citizens using open data in interacting with local officials and development professionals to help monitor and improve the delivery and efficiency of public goods and services.
