"The grits were too rich on their own and then adding the shrimp and sauce just made it worse. No thank you."

RE: How can solue the inequation system in mathematica
Here's a little code and a plot to get you started:
ineq = {2*x^3 + y^ +1 > 0,
5*x^2 - y^2 + 5 < 0};
eqns = {x, y /. #} & /@
Flatten[Solve[#, y] & /@ (ineq /. {Greater -> Equal, Less ->
xRange = {x, -10, 10};
yRange = {y, -20, 20};
ParametricPlot[Evaluate[eqns], Evaluate[xRange],
DisplayFunction -> Identity],
InequalityPlot[ineq, Evaluate[xRange], Evaluate[yRange],
DisplayFunction -> Identity]},
PlotRange -> {Rest[xRange], Rest[yRange]},
ImageSize -> 400,
DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction]
One issue you face is "What does a solution look like?" A picture? A
dichotomy of the solution set? If the latter, you can find
intersections of the equality curves and, based on those, state the
solution set in y for each range of x values (or in x for each range of
y values).

Check out the InequalityGraphics package (Addons>Standard
Packages>Graphics>InequalityGraphics in Help), and you can also try
InequalityInstance in the Developer package.
I think you'll have to figure it out yourself, with Mathematica's help.
For instance, in the problem you've listed below, you can fix x and
solve the corresponding equations for y, and figure out from that what
range of y values are feasible for that x. You can do the similar thing
fixing x and solving for y. You might even make it fairly automatic, as
InequalityGraphics has done.

Dear friends
This my question. How can I solve the Inequation system in mathematica.
I haven't seen any command for that
for example
2*x^3 +y^ +1 >0
5*x^2 -y^2+5<0
If you know that , please point out to me

This week, several UK churches have been objecting to government attempts to redefine things.
The leaders of the Church of England are facing strong criticism from within their own ranks for their attack on same-sex marriage yesterday.
The Church of England have today issued their formal response to the government's consultation on same-sex marriage. They had a great opportunity to acknowledge the diversity of views within their own ranks and to move on from the defensive tone that characterises so many Christian contributions to debates over sexuality. It is an opportunity that they have completely missed.
Christian supporters of marriage equality have reacted with dismay to a Church of England statement opposing proposals for legal recognition of same-sex marriage.
The Bishop of Salisbury, Nicholas Holtam, has joined a number of senior Church of England clergy in encouraging Christians to welcome same-sex marriage.
The Progressive Christianity Network has became the latest faith-based group in the UK to endorse calls for legal recognition of same-sex marriage.
Several religious groups have expressed support for same-sex marriage, saying that church leaders who oppose it do not speak for them.
The newly appointed Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London has defended the forced removal of the Occupy London Stock Exchange camp.
I admire David Ison, who was appointed Dean of St Paul's Cathedral earlier this week, for speaking up for same-sex marriage in his first national media interview after being appointed. I'm sorry that he ruined it within days by defending the forced eviction of Occupy London Stock Exchange in language that manages to be both evasive and insulting.

For now ill post on day of surgery:
Day of surgery the procedure felt very weird i cant really attribute it to anything i ever felt before. At times it felt a little painful like a quick sharp pain, but the doctor noticed and gave me more numbing liquid. Most of my back and love handles i felt nothing? But certain areas in my abdomen were a lil painful. Not to the point i needed him to stop or anything. I could handle it. I went home feeling not bad at all. Of course it was a bit hard to sit down because i had to bend my body, but once i sat down i was fine. In general the discomfort all day was similar to having medium strength cramps on my period.
Day two, i woke up with a lil difficulty getting out of bed. I felt extremely sore as if i had bad sunburn in my stomach. I have a sleep number bed and my setting is very soft i am going to increase the firmness on my bed to see if it helps getting out of bed easier. Tomorrow. My core feels very tight as if i really over did it at the gym. If i stand up and not walk i feel no discomfort at all. I wont dare pick up anything from the floor since bending down hurts. I use a hanger to help me put up my underwear and pants when i go pee. Lol i see no staining on my bed at all. I feel compressed like a human burrito, but that is what the garment is for! My energy and mood is no different from other days. In general is a bit uncomfortable but not intolerable. I will say when i get out of bed i take a moment and stand still and hold my stomach because the gravity causes a weird and powerful feeling. I take a few deep breaths as i hold then slowly stand up all the way straight. When i sit down its not bad, but getting up makes me feel that powerful gravity feeling in my stomach. So, i hold my stomach slowly stand straight as i take deep breaths. I walk slowly, so it doesn't feel too bad. Overall everything is bearable. Cant wait to see results in 3months when im not swollen any more. I forgot to add on day 2 after surgery i was allowed to shower. I had mom help me take the compression garment off. The pads i had in place to trap leakage hurt as i had to force them off. It felt like i had a fresh burn. Like a blister that popped open. In the shower i did not jump in because those sores hurt! So i placed water slowly on myself. Eventually the sores hurt less. Mom washed my garment and i was without it for about an hour. Thats when the pictures were taken. I felt weird walking without the compression. My stomach by my belly button felt like gravity wanted to pull it down. I will post more updates.

Braves' Graham 'feels good' in return
Atlanta's No. 6 prospect pitches five hitless innings for Mississippi
By Kelsie Heneghan / MiLB.com | April 8, 2014 12:56 AM ET
Stepping onto the mound at Trustmark Park on Monday, J.R. Graham was nervous.
The last time the Braves' No. 6 prospect was there, he was lifted in the third inning with shoulder discomfort that turned into a season-ending injury. But after 11 months of rehabbing and rebuilding arm strength, he was back to pitching in a Mississippi uniform again.
As soon as he threw the first pitch -- a called strike to Mobile's Mike Freeman -- the nerves calmed and Graham settled into a groove, sitting down 15 of 16 batters in the Double-A Braves' 4-0 shutout of the Mobile BayBears in the first game of a doubleheader.
"It felt good to be back out there," Graham said.
With three strikeouts and nine ground-ball outs, the 23-year-old right-hander kept his innings quick and his teammates involved -- the way he likes it.
"[Catcher Matt] Kennelly called a good game. My fastball was working, got the curveball when I needed to. … I pitched a helluva game," he said. "Defense really helped me out, a lot of good diving stops ... really good stop by [shortstop] Gustavo Nunez to preserve the no-hitter."
After five hitless innings and one walk allotted to Sean Jamieson in the second, Graham's day was done. Though he wasn't aware of any pitch-count limits, the 2011 Draft pick thought his coaches were just being cautious in his first game back.
Graham made just eight starts last season for Mississippi prior to his injury. He went 1-3, kept Southern League batters to a .283 ERA and did not allow a home run during that span. Following rehab this offseason, Graham received an invite to big league camp, where he allowed two runs on six hits in four innings.
With teammate Barrett Kleinknecht's bat in his hands, Graham slapped a single past shortstop Jamieson and into center field to continue his streak of notching one hit in each of his professional seasons.
Since the Braves didn't score until the sixth inning, Ryne Harper (1-0) picked up the win. The right-hander pitched one hitless inning with two strikeouts.
Mississippi got on the board when Seth Loman was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Kyle Kubitza followed with an RBI groundout and David Rohm smacked a two-run single.
Mobile's Bradin Hagens (0-1) allowed four runs on t wo hits to suffer the loss.

Burton and Kathryn Gedge Professor of Chemical Engineering
Purdue University
Davidson School of Chemical Engineering
Forney Hall of Chemical Engineering
480 Stadium Mall Drive
West Lafayette, IN 47907-2100
Research Interests
Motivated by applications in ink jet printing, separations, production of emulsions, dispersions, and double-emulsions, and drop-wise manufacturing, Prof. Basaran's research involves the use of a balanced approach based on computation, theory, and experiment to attack a number of fundamental issues that lie at the heart of such practical problems. Currently, the research is organized along the following key themes.
- Analysis of pinch-off singularities. Scaling theories, high-accuracy computation, and ultra high-speed visualization are being used to probe the fluid physics of interface breakup in situations where drops contain surfactant or polymer, the fluid surrounding the drop is dynamically active, and electric fields may be present.
- Microfluidics. Computation and experimentation are being used to develop and probe the fundamental fluid physics of novel drop-on-demand (DOD) ink jet printing methodologies, two-fluid microfluidic drop generators, and capillary switches. Analysis of electrically-driven separations and analysis phenomena that take advantage of small drops produced in such devices is of particular interest.
- Dripping or leaky faucets. When a sequence of drops is formed from a nozzle, the underlying dynamics can be highly nonlinear and even chaotic. Uncovering such complex dripping phenomena has both fundamental and practical consequences, and is therefore actively pursued in our program.
- Drop impact. The collision of drops with solid surfaces and other drops is also of great interest in many scientific and technological areas. We are currently pursuing situations of interest in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products.
- Pattern formation. We are investigating through theory (domain perturbation analysis), computation and experiment the formation of micro- and nano-scale patterns by using externally applied electric fields.
- Computations. Although we are currently involved in a number of activities, a dominant objective is to develop strategies for combining finite element computations with other methods to create fast but accurate hybrid algorithms.
- Experiments. Developing and implementing ultra high-speed imaging tools is one of the main activities that is currently occupying the bulk of our attention. Whereas most high-speed imaging approaches commonly used entail capturing multiple images at rates of 10,000 to 100,000 frames per second but at reduced resolution , we use ultra high-speed imaging and capture multiple images at rates up to 100 million frames per second at full resolution. Ongoing efforts include increasing the number of frames captured by ten-fold while still achieving in excess of million frames per second and improving spatial resolution.

Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
May 27, 2010
Hot dogs belong on the barbecue — not in your car.
With the lazy, hazy, hot days of summer steadily approaching, the BC SPCA reminds pet guardians to play it cool with their animals this year, and offers tips on how to keep pets safe.
First off, don't leave your pet in the car.
"Every year, we receive hundreds of complaints about dogs left in hot cars because many people still don't grasp the danger of this situation," says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. "Even if you park in the shade and it seems cool outside when you leave, the sun can change direction and heat up a car's interior in no time."
Last year, the BC SPCA received more than 500 complaints about dogs in hot cars across the province.
The temperature inside a parked car at this time of year — even one that's in the shade — can climb well about 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit). Dogs can withstand high temperatures for only a very short time — usually just 10 minutes — before suffering irreparable brain damage or death.
If you see a dog languishing in a hot car, call the municipal animal control authorities in your area or local police. Before the authorities arrive, members of the public can help prevent a tragedy by attempting to find the animal's guardian. If the car is in a mall or grocery store parking lot, for example, ask to have the owner paged over the building's PA system. If a window on the vehicle is cracked open, try to increase the airflow inside by fanning the pet with a portable fan.
In addition to not leaving pets in the car at this time of year, guardians should use caution when exercising their pets under the sweltering summer sun.
"A lot of dogs will run and play to the point of exhaustion, and it's the guardian's responsibility to make sure that doesn't happen," says Chortyk.
Chortyk also cautions against cycling with your dog, and if you run with your dog, try to run early in the morning or later in the evening when the sun is lower in the sky. Also, try to stay away from asphalt because it can burn your dog's foot pads.
"Whatever you plan to do with your dog this summer, always bring water and the number of a vet with you so that you're prepared in case of an emergency," says Chortyk.
Signs of heatstroke in pets:
* exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting);
* rapid or erratic pulse;
* salivation;
* weakness and muscle tremors;
* lack of coordination;
* convulsions or vomiting; and
* collapse.
If your dog shows symptoms of heatstroke, you should:
* immediately move the animal to a cool, shady place;
* wet the dog with cool water;
* fan vigorously to promote evaporation. Do not apply ice, which constricts blood flow;
* allow the dog to drink some cool water; and
* take the dog to a veterinarian.

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry released a statement on Friday saying that it "does not recognize the so called 'presidential elections' conducted in Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia" on November 13.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan reiterates its firm support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia," it said in a statement on November 18. "The Ministry strongly believes that ongoing negotiation process should be continued in a constructive manner to find a viable solution to the conflict."
When breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh held local elections in September, 2011 the Georgian Foreign Ministry released a statement saying that it "does not recognize the illegal elections of so-called 'local self-government bodies' in Nagorno-Karabakh" and reiterating its "unequivocal support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity" of Azerbaijan. The Georgian Foreign Ministry made a similar statement in respect of parliamentary elections in breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh in May, 2010.

Crankshaft worry , now unsure of what to do with rod caps ??
3 Attachment(s)
Bought a used engine , guy said 383 bla bla bla so I took a gamble and when I got home tore it apart , everything was looking 100% until I dropped the pan and saw some color on the crank , so i pulled the rod cap to make sure it was fine and bearings and crank grind look perfect no wear or color , looks like at one time it spun a bearing so they ground the crank and re used it , crank is an eagle , pistons are probe flat top's and rods are unknown , I don't know what to do now ? Loosen all rods are re torque ? seen 45lbs with oil and 50lbs with lock tight ? bolts are 3/8 24 fine I believe
Because everything looks so good I was going to re torque the rods and run it , there is no way the crank would be colored and the bearings and rods be fine , im just unsure of what to do ? back all caps off and re torque all of them to ? ft lbs
Can you tell if the rod bolts are aftermarket? You might need a mirror to see the head side of the bolt. If we can determine what the bolts are then we can figure out a torque spec.
IF you choose to reuse the rods as-is, I would retorque to stock specs. The reason is the bolts are knurled (not Waveloc), and the visible end does not have a dimple used to locate a stretch gauge. There are still knurled aftermarket rod bolts, and there may be knurled aftermarket rod bolts w/o a dimple for a stretch gauge, but my guess is those are stock.
But if it was me, I would have to give some hard thought to pulling the rods and having ARP bolts installed, unless the cam/redline/ how the engine will be used is such that the stock rods and bolts are deemed to be enough.
Note dimple
PM rod on right.
Note how the profile around the bolt on the rod and cap is smooth. You can compare this to yours.
Side view, PM on right.
Other side.
Rod bolts have what looks like a capital I on the head , it's the out line of the I
Are you sure the pistons are forged? Are they stamped w/a part number and/or an oversize ID on the tops?
so Yes they are 98 vortec rods , motor was a vortec and has had probe flat tops and eagle crank installed , only thing I could find was 15ft lbs then 70 deg on the rod bolts ?
Talked to eagle crank is fine to run
Engines I've done w/those same rods and bolts got 45 ft/lbs. Just like any other SBC w/stock 3/8" rod bolts.
You can use the 15 ft/lbs plus 70 degrees if you have access to the tool that shows degrees, I got mine at NAPA. It is kind of bulky so you may need an extension so it clears everything. The final choice is yours as to which method you use.
+1 on the ARP Bolts
I don't know how much you wanted to inspect and measure, but you can plastigage the rod and mains for oil clearance as well as check the crank end float and rod side play before the pan goes on.
It was a running motor so I don't think I need to worry too much , thanks for all your help :-)

Another RIAA Preamp
1 Attachment(s)
Attached is an RIAA preamp circuit that came out of the work I've been doing (documented in the analog line forum) with feedback connected mosfets used to simulate or fake a SIT, which has a triodish characteristic. That led to a "pseudo-Aikido" using mosfets and jfets that needed feedback to tame its gain. That circuit is used in the second stage of this preamp. It's the first feedback RIAA amp I've designed in years. It probably won't be quite optimal with respect to noise because of the high value feedback resistors. However, those resistors are in the second stage, which may somewhat mitigate their effect.
The second stage provides a pretty optimal load for the SRPP first stage. One could also use a simple cascoded common source 2SK170 at the input, but a follower would be needed. I've laid out my circuit board for both input circuit types. The one thing standing in the way of going ahead with this is putting together a suitable 2n8 cap for the RIAA filter. I already have the 10nF caps. I should be able to scrounge something fairly soon.
At any rate, this may not be the hottest circuit in town but it's food for thought.
I found the fixings for my 2n8 cap (high quality 2n7 + 100p polypropylene), so the board is laid out, and will get listened to sometime down the line.
Looks good, keep us posted.
I'm actually stuffing a board for one of these preamps. The power supply/regulator came up without any hitches today, and I may finish selecting and stuffing the rest of the jfets and mosfets this weekend.
Actual listening may not happen until I put together a special test chassis (no selector switch, just a pair of RCA jumpers to switch between RIAA preamp and line source). The first pairing of test modules in the box will be this preamp and a "MOSFET-Schade" line amp.
I finished selecting the jfets and stuffing the proto board of this preamp. Things balance out sufficiently well that I will hook it up to the gain-phase analyzer at work when time permits to test gain and channel-channel balance. I will probably change R14 to ~120k to better center the second stage output.
This amp is still not optimal because of the high impedance RIAA feedback network, but it's an interesting topology and deserves at least a cursory listen. I suspect that the second stage will provide fairly optimal loading for the PN4393 SRPP input stage.
1 Attachment(s)
Here's a pic of the little freak on the bench getting gain-phased.
1 Attachment(s)
Attached are the gain-phase plots, done with an HP4194A with 0.5 mV input. The gain is a little on the high side, but both sides match to within 0.3 dB.
It occurs to me that the load on the first stage SRPP is still a little lighter than optimal, so I can reduce the impedance of the second stage feedback network, pulling down the overall 1 kHz gain closer to the desired 40 dB and reducing 2nd stage noise contribution. Before I make that change, I'll probably listen to the thing as-is.
Nice. Did you run an FFT also we can maybe see?
No FFTs on anything, yet. My sound card interface is not functional yet, and it would need a decent sound card to go with it.

Regulation by the Football Authorities
From SDwiki
3.4.1 The FA
The FA are the governing body for English football – all clubs, no matter what level they play in, from the Premiership to Sunday morning football, must be registered with the FA, and all players must be registered with their teams. Any team not registered with the FA can't play in a league, so although the FA isn't responsible for the leagues in which teams play (and so isn't involved in so much depth in a club's affairs as the relevant league), they are a crucial part of the regulatory framework.
Lower level football is administered by the County FAs – volunteer-run bodies who administer football in each county. They will deal with punishments, suspensions and other disciplinary matters. Each County FA has one Councillor on the FA's Governing Council – the supreme governing body of the organisation.
Day-to-day governance at the FA is covered by the FA Main Board. The FA's board is the highest decision making authority of The Football Association, and is made up of twelve representatives, six from the professional game - four elected by the Premier League, two by the Football League, and six from the National Game - two elected at The FA's Summer meeting and the remaining four elected by members of the council not representing The Premier League or Football League. The FA's Chairman and Chief Executive are also members of the board.
The FA's main sanction over a club is to withdraw registration from the club and so render it ineligible to compete in any competition. It can also suspend players, officials and directors from involvement in the game for a set period, though the power is rarely used in the case of directors.
The FA also licenses leagues, and whilst leagues are responsible for their own activities, the FA retains the power to remove recognition of a league. Leagues below the Professional Leagues are managed by the National Game Board, whilst the Professional Game Board does likewise for the Premiership and the Football League.
Affairs that relate to competitions not run by the FA tend to be dealt with by the appropriate body in the first instance – for example, the relevant league tends to deal with matters first. However, the FA does have a wider remit with regard to finances.
The Financial Advisory Unit (FAU) is a relatively new development by the FA. It has a rolling programme of visits to all clubs in the top 6 tiers of football – i.e. from the Premiership to the first level below the Conference. It will be assessing whether the governance structures at football clubs are sound and whether their financial procedures are adequate. The FAU won't have the power to compel changes – but it will make recommendations in the form of a consultancy report to the directors of clubs. However, if the FAU finds irregularities, further investigations can be made by the FA's Compliance Unit, and if there is a case to answer, charges against individuals can be brought, and clubs can be collectively punished by a fine and/or points deduction.
The Football Association can be contacted at: The FA, Wembley Stadium, PO Box 1966, London, SW1P 0EQ. Tel: 0844 980 8200. Or see http://www.thefa.com
3.4.2 The Leagues
The main day-to-day focus of a club is the League programme, and so the major regulatory body for most club affairs is the relevant League.
The Premiership
The Premiership is governed by the 20 member clubs who each have one vote – 14 votes are needed to pass any policy or rules change.
The Football League
The League is governed by its 72 member clubs and its AGM, but interim matters are dealt with by the League Board, which has three representatives from the First Division, two from the Second Division and one from the Third Division, plus an independent Chair.
Both Leagues have similar sets of regulations on many matters, but they obviously vary in crucial areas. This isn't the place to go into detail on those regulations, but Supporters Direct have copies of each league's rules, so get in touch if you have a detailed query.
These regulations basically cover most aspects of a club's existence, such as:
- Player registrations and transfers
- Ground criteria and ground moves
- Dual interests and ownership
- Distribution of TV and other revenue
- Ticketing and away supporters

Other Leagues
Leagues below the professional game have similar functions. They too are owned by their member clubs in most cases, and have similar sets of regulations. Those specific regulations naturally differ, but they tend to cover the same areas.
The Football Conference can be contacted at: Third Floor, Wellington House, 31-34 Waterloo Street, Birmingham, B2 5TJ. Telephone 0121 214 1950. You can also visit their website at http://www.footballconference.co.uk
3.4.3 The Independent Football Ombudsman (IFO)
The IFO has beene sablished by the English Football Authorities (The Football Association, The Premier League and The Football League) with the agreement of the Government. The IFO has a clear remit to receive and adjudicate on complaints which have not been resolved at an earlier stage and will act as the final stage in football's complaints procedure. The IFO is the successor body to the Independetn Football Commission (IFC), which operated from 2002 to 2008 as an integral part of football's self-regulatory system.
The IFO has also been given some other responsibilities. The IFO can suggest subjects for research and enquiry; it will be consulted on regulation changes; and it may identify wider policy issues arising from complaints it has adjudicated. In announcing the creation of the IFO, the Football Authorities confirmed that they were "committed to the highest standards of self-regulation" and that "the creation of an Ombudsman would maintain a position as the independent and final arbiter of football complaints."
You can contact the IFO at The Independent Football Ombudsman, Suite 49, 57 Great George Street, Leeds, LS1 3AJ. Telephone 0800 588 4066 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also check out their website at http://www.theifo.co.uk
The IFO is the successor of the Independent Football Commission. You can view and download a number of archived IFC documents at http://theifc.co.uk
3.4.4 Sport England
Sport England aren't specifically responsible for football matters, but they do have powers to object to sports grounds being turned into non-sporting facilities. Whilst the law was framed mainly to help stop the sale of school and other community pitches, the fact that a field is used for professional sport is irrelevant to the legal definition of a playing field, which solely relates to:
- The size of a field - a football pitch is big enough to be considered
- Whether or not sport is played on a field
- Whether or not sport been played on the field within the last five years.
If all the above conditions are met, Sport England can object to sports grounds being turned into non-sporting facilities on the ground that the Town and Country Planning Act 1996 (and crucially, the Planning Guidance Note PPG 17) gives them the power to be a statutory objector. Sport England have said that they will only approve of plans to change the status of sports grounds that provide for replacement facilities of a comparable quality and accessibility in the nearby area.
Should a council give permission for a sports ground to be sold or turned into a non-sporting facility with Sport England still objecting, the application is automatically forwarded to the relevant regional Government Office, where the application is called in for examination by the Secretary of State, and sent to a Public Inquiry.
For the Planning guidance - used by councils to assess whether the permission sought is within the national planning framework - see: http://www.communities.gov.uk/corporate/about/whatwedo/planningandbuilding
For Sport England's policy: http://www.sportengland.org/about_us/what_we_do.aspx
For more information on planning decisions that may be of use to cite as precedents, see the Sports Appeals database: http://www.sportengland.org/facilities__planning/planning_tools_and_guidance/sports_appeal.aspx
3.4.5 Regulation in Scotland
Football in Scotland is governed by three separate organisations, each of whom have separate areas of responsibility. We will take these in turn, and at the end of this section provide an overview of the issues of having three regulatory bodies within such a small country.
Scottish Football Association (SFA)
The SFA Corporate Plan published in April 2002 states their strategic mission "is to promote, foster and develop football at all levels." Within this there are four strategic objectives, namely:
- Supporting Football Networks
- Modernising Regulation
- Encouraging Participation
- Building International Profile
As far as the regulatory objective is concerned, the SFA have identified four main areas they wish to modernise:
- Club Licensing
- National Player Registration
- Referees
- New Technology
While issues such as player registration and refereeing standards will be of some interest to the average fan, the area of most interest to Supporters' Trusts is that of club licensing.
The SFA is a member association of UEFA, and therefore is duty bound to implement strategies that are decided at the European as well as the domestic level. In regard to club licensing, the SFA have gone one stage further and will assist in piloting a scheme that aims to bring uniformity to regulations throughout Europe. However, each national association will be allowed to tweak the regulations to suit local conditions. This illustrates the difficulties in trying to implement one strategy on a pan-European basis.
Club licensing is intended to set minimum standards for stadia, financial reporting and coaching, and to include codes of best practice. Overall the SFA want to have a progressive approach to raising these standards, therefore initially the requirements are fairly basic, but over time they will become more rigorous. These standards are intended to gently nudge clubs into introducing modern financial practices, thereby addressing their financial stability.
Therefore, from a regulatory perspective, Supporters' Trusts know the SFA will have a significant say in the viability of their club. In order for a club to remain an SFA member they will have to comply with these regulations. Only time will tell if this scheme manages to achieve its lofty aims, but at the very least the SFA are taking a more proactive role. The SFA are attempting to create a framework whereby clubs can prosper, and remedial action at failing clubs will be able to start much sooner than at present.
It should of course also be noted that the SFA's role extends well beyond the boundary of the 42 Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League clubs. They also have ultimate responsibility for the rest of senior and junior non-league football, and the youth game - although many of the day-to-day tasks of running leagues for these levels of football are devolved to other affiliated associations.
Scottish Premier League (SPL)
The SPL's role in Scottish Football is simply to organise and run a league. They are given this authority by the SFA, and this confers the ability to decide the rules of the competition and the criteria for entry to the league. There is currently an arrangement whereby the winners of Scottish Football League's Division 1 are allowed entry to the SPL as long as they meet certain standards, which were agreed at the formation of the SPL in 1998.
Recently these criteria have come under severe scrutiny as various teams have come close to winning Division 1 but realised that they would not be promoted in the event of a championship win. In particular the SPL requires that member clubs should have 10,000 all-seated, all-covered stadia; that they should have some form of pitch protection; and that they have sole use of the playing facilities.
Therefore while the SFA has an overarching regulatory role, the SPL criteria have an equally strong effect on the policies of individual clubs. Each member club has one vote in the process of deciding SPL rules and policies.
It is also worth noting that within the SFA's proposed club licensing regulations, there is agreement with the rules and policies as laid down by both the SPL and the SFL. Therefore it could be argued that in certain areas the leagues decide the policy and the SFA merely rubber-stamps these decisions.
Scottish Football League (SFL)
The regulatory role of the SFL is similar to that of the SPL in that they have the authority to organise club competitions. The SFL currently provide three leagues and organise the League Cup competition.
Promotion and relegation is available between the three divisions, although no club can be relegated out of the SFL Division 3. Therefore there is no mechanism for growing clubs to gain entry to the SFL unless through expansion of the leagues, or through replacement of a liquidated club. Equally, a false bottom is put on the league by the lack of relegation for unsuccessful clubs.
The SFL and SPL agreed at the formation of the SPL to allow the winners of SFL Division 1 to be promoted to the SPL at the expense of the bottom club in the SPL, but only if they were to meet the criteria laid down by the SPL. The SPL also pays a sum of money to the SFL every year to compensate them for the loss of the top clubs in 1998.
In terms of regulation the SFL, like the SPL, takes a hands-off attitude to the internal affairs of individual clubs. Despite the fact that strong leagues are reliant on each club being solvent and sustainable, there is a reticence on the part of the leagues to take a stronger line, especially in terms of financial stability.
Complaints and Queries
Unlike England, Scotland does not have an independent body that can investigate complaints against individual clubs, leagues or associations. Therefore the first point of contact for problems is to discuss them with the club concerned.
However, too few clubs have a well-developed complaints procedure, and neither is there an across-the-board standard on customer service. This ultimately leads to a great deal of supporter dissatisfaction, which has no official channel to be heard.
If the individual club do not act on a complaint it is very difficult to force them into action. A Supporters' Trust can help to bring more moral pressure to bear on the issue, but there needs to be a willingness within both parties to communicate.
Realistically fans could take a complaint further and speak to the governing league or ultimately the SFA. However, unless there has been a breach of their rules it is unlikely they will get involved in a domestic matter.
The regulatory framework within Scottish football is relatively straightforward with the SFA sanctioning football games within Scotland. The SPL and SFL work independently of the SFA and devise rules and policies that they feel best fit their objectives, so long as they are within the rules of the game.
The picture is complicated by different tournaments being governed by different authorities, and because league clubs will have a membership of either the SPL or SFL and the SFA. This therefore may lead these organisations to pursue different objectives due to the different balance of members.
With no independent regulatory or complaints organisation, it falls to individual clubs to manage their own affairs with only minimal intervention from the three governing bodies. This also makes a joined-up complaints procedure almost impossible.
The one major change taking place is the introduction of UEFA instigated club licensing. This set of regulations will be the first time that measurable criteria will have been used to judge individual club performance.

I'm assuming this was a older late 90's lightning we're talking about?
or are we talking one of the new ones?
Cause if you pulled on him really hard and aren't flinging crap, then you either stole the hit pretty badly or he wasn't racing you.
I hate fords but wouldnt mind owning a lightning. I detail this one some rich guys has, its a blast to drive, especialy on some twisty roads, nothing scares the crap out of a on-coming car better then a pickup coming out of a blind corner like a raped ape.

A giant corn maze
Since the Jolly Green Giant is well-known for fresh sweet corn, it's fitting that his likeness was created out of a corn field this year.
Quite an honor, don't you think?
I traveled to Montgomery Orchard in Montgomery, Minn., to meet Scott and Barb Wardell and experience the 2013 version of their six-acre "Be-A-Mazed Corn Maze" with my family.
Wardell told me he chose to go with the Green Giant for this year's maze design after talking with Second Harvest Heartland, one of General Mills' hunger relief partners here in Minnesota.
"It made sense, because here we are sitting in an area where a lot of sweet corn that's grown ends up being sold by Green Giant, so I knew the design would have to be the Jolly Green Giant," says Wardell. "People who have been here to the orchard love it."
Hear more from Wardell, and go inside the maze, in this video interview.
Visitors to Montgomery Orchard receive a dollar off admission if they bring a non-perishable food item. General Mills and Faribault Foods will each donate a pound of food to match every pound collected.
Green Giant also provided Sprout dolls to be given to children who complete the trivia questions in the corn maze.
Wardell expects the total food donations, combined with apples from the orchard, to hit the 20,000 pound mark.
If you're not in Minnesota, I put together this fast motion clip of part of the maze so you can experience it too.
Montgomery Orchard welcomes visitors through Oct. 27, Fridays through Sundays – the hours are on their website.
Besides the maze, people can pick or purchase delicious apples – including caramel apples, make or buy cider, walk on a nature trail, and listen to live music from time to time.
The Jolly Green Giant is the Wardells' fourth corn maze at Montgomery Orchard.
They created the logo for the Minnesota Twins in their first year, they marked the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War the following year, then made Abraham Lincoln's face out of corn, and showcased The Beatles last year.

SW Advice, is he right??
Ok, I called SW today armed with some recommendations on primers for my newly textured ceiling in the basement (which some of you gave me, thanks again) to get an idea of pricing. The guy said he would go with the Preprite Promar Primer for $25 a gallon (he's giving me contractor pricing), and that if i did that, I would not have to use ceiling paint over it since it is a flat white. Is this correct? And how much of a different product is the Preprite Promar vs. Zinnser Primecoat 2? Other than being twice as much?? HELP, i feel like such a newbie right now! :(
once it is primed use a flat paint. SW is costly.
Prime AND paint
either primer will be fine
Any idea why he would recommend doing that instead of selling me more paint? I was asking about different ceiling paints, so I'm just kind of baffled by the whole thing. Just wondering if I should ignore his advice and buy some ceiling paint and go with the Zinnser primer.
You got me. I would go with the Zinnser and if you have a Pittsburgh Paint near you, get their Premium Ceiling paint, less than $20 and some of the best ceiling paint I have used in 30 years.Otherwise, any quality flat white wall paint will do.
I will agree with above. Though I'm not a pro, when I did my laundry room addition I used Zinsser primer and Pittsburgh Ceiling paint - wonderful results.
thank you!! i do have a pittsburgh paint near, i'd never even heard of that before! Very strange...the guy said he was the manager, so i have no idea why he would say that to me instead of selling me the Brilliance paint i was asking about!!
Well, not really. That is a mystery for sure. Why he wouldn't want the addtional sale of paint is beyond me.
Thanks ChrisN for the advice on PPG ceiling paint. I have been looking for a quality ceiling paint ever since SW went from the Classic 99 to the current Brilliance.
[quote=Gymschu;853585]Leanne that was me on the phone. Sometimes when I'm in my local SW store and they are too busy to answer the phone, I do it for them!:laughing:

That's what got me to try it, It is great paint, no splatter:no:, none and the price is right.Covers way better than Brilliance
haha, thanks for the laugh @Gymshu! :)
Is this the paint from Pittsburgh Paints? I'm in the KC market and the actual paint stores closed a couple of years ago, but some dealers still carry the brand. This one is Ultra Interior Ceiling Paint, is that what I"m looking for, or does Pittsburg carry a more extensive line that I won't have access to?
I've also mentioned I have noticed a big difference in paint store vs. box store Pittsburgh products so be careful.
Leanne, if that's the stuff ChrisN was recommending, you're in business. My local Menard's has it for $18.97.............about the same as I pay for Brilliance, but, if it covers better, count me in!

[WORLD CUP 2010 QUALIFYING] Given its choice, the USA would rather not go into the final day of Hexagonal play with its 2010 World Cup fate still in doubt. Unless it can beat Honduras Saturday in San Pedro Sula, the Americans - despite sitting atop the Hexagonal with 16 points -- will likely take the field at RFK Stadium against Costa Rica Wednesday for its 10th and final Hexagonal match needing at least a tie to clinch a spot in the 2010 competition.
"Certainly our thoughts with regard to the Honduras game start with the idea that we
have the opportunity to go there and go for the win," says U.S. coach Bob Bradley, who must also juggle a roster that includes nine players carrying yellow cards. "We will pay attention to
the score in Costa Rica as both games move along but going in, it's an opportunity to play aggressively, to know from the start that playing for the first goal, being aggressive, trying to put
Honduras on the defensive would all be things we would like to accomplish."
Should Trinidad & Tobago somehow upset the Ticos on Saturday, the Americans would qualify regardless of their
result in San Pedro Sula, where a frenzied crowd of 45,000 at the Estadio Olimpico will roar on a team bearing the dreams of a politically torn nation that hasn't seen its national team play in a
World Cup since 1982.
Whether the Americans can turn their foes' energy and passion into tension and anxiety that can be exploited could depend on how the USA starts the game. It has
been plagued this year by conceding early goals, not only in the Hexagonal but also in the Gold Cup and Confederations Cup, and falling behind early might erase any chance of getting a victory.
"The main thing that we have talked a little bit about and are very aware of is the fact that this game means everything to Honduras and to its people and that the atmosphere in the
stadium will be loud, passionate and exciting," said Bradley. "We have seen that in other places, so we draw the parallels and draw up on those experiences. I think that will work well for us."
Eight years ago, the Americans posted a rare Hexagonal away win when they beat Honduras, 2-1, in the same venue. That match, though, came early in the schedule, and Honduras famously
reversed the result six months later by beating the U.S., 3-2, at RFK Stadium.
This year, the teams have already played three times, with the U.S. posting a 2-1 Hexagonal win in June
and beating the Catrachos twice in the Gold Cup.
Honduras (13 points) is in third place, two points behind second-place Mexico, which hosts El Salvador on Saturday.
games we've played against them in the United States have been difficult, so we know they're a strong team," says U.S. midfielder Benny Feilhaber, who has never played in Honduras but has
faced the Catrachos twice this year and might get the call Saturday to replace the injured Clint Dempsey. "In order for us to win the game we're going to have to come out and really put
pressure on them and force them to make mistakes."

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court summarily affirmed a ruling by a three-judge district court in Bluman v. Federal Election Commission which had upheld the federal ban on campaign contributions and independent expenditures by foreign nationals temporarily residing in the United States.

(354.08 kB) Machine priming of siding was first developed in the 1940s, but the use of preprimed siding didn't take off until recently. Fred Churchill, owner of a machine finishing company called Churchill Coatings in Grafton, Mass., recalls, "When we started more than 30 years ago, the lumberyards laughed at us." Today, a wide selection of wood siding, as well as some fiber-cement and composite siding, is readily available preprimed or prefinished.Although wood siding has been installed unpainted for hundreds of years, there are several disadvantages to doing it the old-fashioned way. The unpainted siding can pick up moisture while being transported or stored on site, meaning paint is less likely to adhere. Moreover, when unpainted siding is exposed to the sun, it loses its paint-holding... Login or Register to continue reading

Baby Planet Solo Deluxe Stroller
It's a whole new world with the new Solo Deluxe Stroller by Baby Planet. Combining sleek modern design with hint of drama (check out the curvy profile and rich color combinations), this stroller looks much more expensive than it really is, and it's worth every penny. How does it roll? It's easy to maneuver, handles turns smoothly and provides a velvety smooth ride—just like a luxury car for baby, and you're the chauffeur. Surprisingly lightweight, the aluminum frame makes the most out of its compact size, making it convenient for everyday use. Also, the height of the handles can be adjusted, so mom, dad and big sibs can each have a custom grip. And we love all the little extras. The peek-a-boo window on the canopy lets you view baby, the seat reclines for sleepy babies on the go, the leg supports adjust with your growing tot, and cup holders are included for thirsty parents and kids. But there's more. The company is also dedicated to the helping clean up the environment. Ship your used Baby Planet stroller back free of charge, and they'll either recycle it or fix it up and donate it to charity.

Make sure she keeps track of her steps with a handy Strollometer ($40). 3. Mom deserves to look good while she breaks a sweat, so outfit her in the latest workout gear from Stella McCartney for Adidas ($60 and up). So stylish, she can wear it any time of day. 4. If mom is a yoga or pilates buff, treat her with this crazy-chic yoga bag by Crescent Moon ($100). Just like mom, it multi-tasks and can move from one setting to another beautifully.Added 10 Years Ago from Shefindsmom

Since day one of the current administration, this blog has argued focus in the initial days of Obama's presidency should have been on one topic: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Some advisers did urge the newly elected president to study Franklin Roosevelt's initial days in office. FDR blasted the wealthy as the cause of our Depression. He did not appoint those from the banking and Wall Street world to lead the fight for dealing with a Depression. His key advisor was Harry Hopkins, a former Social Worker! Franklin Roosevelt understood that people wanted work, that people had to eat –TODAY — not tomorrow. Barack Obama's model was Ronald Reagan! This Republican president busted unions and catered to the wishes of the wealthy.
Senator Chuck Schumer finally spoke reality as to why the Democratic party today is in trouble with voters. In 2009, when Democrats controlled Congress, they could have passed laws dealing with creating jobs, but instead of jobs, President Obama turned "our attention towards healthcare reform instead of the growing problem of income inequality. (Health care) "was a worthy goal, but it wasn't at the top of the to-do list of most Americans." Most had some form of health care insurance.
Today, it is not too late to focus on what Americans want–JOBS, JOBS, JOBS.
What can Obama do?
1. Fight for job creation.
2. Fight for higher minimum wages.
3. Require that any program receiving federal money must pay a $15 an hour minimum wage.
4. But, first Barack Obama must understand the importance of weekly press conferences where he discusses these issues. Then, he must recognize going around America speaking specifically how jobs can be created.

I'll give this one a bash, all I want to get working really is TV shows watched icons.
Out of interest, has something changed in Eden to stop these working?

I havent touched the watched icons since each view was originally coded. Not sure why they dont work for ya.
TvTunes still does not seem to work for me. I installed the version in the addon repo for the dependencies, then moved this in place of that version. I did install TvTunes from the addon repo and get the themes for a few shows, but pressing the Theme button on the TV Show info screen does not do anything that I notice.
Otherwise, this version fixes many of the little issues with the one in the repo.

Going Dutch
Can architecture be useless? The question is only half-rhetorical when posed by BAR, the Rotterdam-based architecture firm of Klaas van der Molen and Joost Glissenaar. The pair has repeatedly explored the purpose of architecture, and in particular the interaction between the building and its user. Look at its Bridgehouse for the southern Dutch town of Middelburg: useless! Only six times a year does anyone step inside to open the bridge; the rest of the time it is merely a transformer station. "We call it a folly in the water," says Glissenaar. But what could have been a boring technical facility has been designed by BAR as a piece of urban sculpture, making it "useful" in a new way to the surrounding city.
Glissenaar and Van der Molen, who have known each other since architecture school, set up shop in 1999 as BAR (Bureau voor Architectuur Rotterdam) after winning first prize in Europan, a European-wide competition for young talent. (Their design has yet to be realized, to their chagrin.) One of their best-known designs so far is a building for the printer Plantijn Casparie on an old industrial waterway. It presents itself to the passerby as a long, crisp wall of double-height glass panes between 18-foot-high wooden supports. Behind this facade, the building extends as a series of three linked boxes, from a transparent front office to a printing shop in the middle and a binding, storage, and shipping facility in the back. Glissenaar says, "The processes that unfold inside are a kind of hidden treasure from which we derive the exterior."
On one of the most exclusive streets in the historic center of Utrecht, BAR designed a project with a uniquely Dutch social agenda: a hostel for aging junkies. In a landmark building from 1910, the architects created living quarters for 28 homeless, hard-drug addicts, with a communal living room and kitchen. At the core of the deep building, the architects clad walls in formica sheets imprinted with an almost three-dimensional image of juicy green ivy, adding at least the suggestion of a whiff of fresh air.
Contrasting old shell and new interior was a key part of BAR's first commission: a contemporary arts center called BAK, also in Utrecht. Here it inserted a plane of perforated-metal stair treads 6 feet behind an old facade, dating from 1650. "We created a vertical foyer of perforated metal and glass floors that articulates the transition between old and new," explains Van der Molen. "It is, in fact, one continuous space spread over three stories, containing a library, a reception area, and a gathering space."
Dutch architecture captured the public's eye in the 1990s with its daring approach to form and program. Now, however, Dutch clients are more inclined to play it safe. This is especially true of housing, long a playground for young architects but now largely market-driven and neotraditional in style. "Young firms have little presence in the developers' world," says Glissenaar. "We're more at home in the world of government and culture, and we're cheaper and more patient than the big offices."
With its emphasis on the user's experience, BAR finds itself moving in the direction of postwar Dutch luminaries like Herman Hertzberger and Aldo van Eyck, who took an intensely humanist approach to the built environment. Young though it is, BAR is grabbing attention by wrapping its predecessors' social sensibility in unapologetically strong and confident forms.

I am alone in Birmingham. I often seem to be alone when I am in Birmingham. I once spent Valentine's night by myself in the city's Holiday Inn, which sounds like a punishment for some terrible sin. All I remember is the bad food: the slaughtered duck and its grievous crime of an orange sauce, followed by something festering for dessert. There is nothing lousier than bad food eaten alone.
But things are looking up. Selfridges has arrived in Britain's second city, its purpose-designed building squatting on the skyline like some giant over-filled water-bed, and there are grand arcades of new shops where the Bullring market used to be. The city is not, however, blessed with great restaurants, not for a conurbation of its size. There are outposts of both Petit Blanc and Bank and a few stalwart bistros, but mostly it is mass market chains, passable Chinese and some brilliant Indians. It is not as bad as the nearby Black Country, but little is. Put it this way: Birmingham's leading newspaper's food writer is a vegetarian. What can I tell you?
But there is good news here, too. The city has a new restaurant, and it is very good. Not just good for Birmingham; good for anywhere. Jessica's occupies the back half of a large redbrick Victorian house in Edgbaston, where the trees grow. There is a walled courtyard and a dining room, dominated by a conservatory which fills the space with light and greenery from the garden. But the best thing about this comely dining room lies beyond the kitchen doors, and his name is Glynn Purnell.
Purnell is a local boy. He loves the city. He trained here at the Metropole Hotel and lived here even when he was working with Claude Bosi at the highly regarded Hibiscus in Ludlow. His cooking is modern but not overwrought, subtle without being flyaway, satisfying without being overly rich. A starter of red mullet, the fillet cooked until the proteins have just set and partnered with a light sauce of Jerusalem artichokes beaten to a foam, shows the way. Bravely, the mullet was allowed a distinct fishiness, which the artichoke undercut. Crunch came from a few green beans, and on the side was a square of sweet jelly containing a dice of bean and artichoke.
I was so indecisive I almost chose my main course with a pin. It could have been the glazed milk-fed rabbit with honey, pistachios and almonds. Or the saddle of lamb and braised shoulder with a potato and cep gratin. Instead, I had veal loin, served in pink, creamy slices atop a fricassée of young squid, white beans, parsley and garlic. Who knew that the juvenile sweetness of squid and veal would work so well together? Well, Purnell, obviously.
I finished with an exemplary crème brûlée hiding a layer of pear and crushed walnuts, accompanied by a pear sorbet and then, with coffee, nibbled at a peanut butter lolly: a little ball of an iced peanut butter parfait, encased in bitter chocolate, all on a stick. You know that sounds good. Three courses are £29.50, though an interesting lunch menu costs £19.50. There is also a separate vegetarian menu.
Jessica's has been in business just a few months, but its confidence is striking. It knows what it wants to be and, clearly, has found its market, because I heard the maître d' turning away bookings on the phone. So book in advance and book often. You might even want to go alone.
· Jessica's, 19 Portland Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham (0121 455 0999). Meal for two, including wine and service, £75-100.

If you cant rectify the problem then a diagnostic scan is the answer
The engine light is back on and I only just had the car serviced?!
An OBD2 scan (or OBD 1 for pre 95 cars) is needed to read the codes properly.
My car has running problems and I just cant work out what it could be?? what should I do?
Get a diagnostic scan done by a competent local garage. Most will have the equipment to scan the vast majority of BMWs. Estimated cost should be between £25-£40~ depending on location and other factors. Get a printout (if possible) or handwritten list of the exact fault codes the ECU gave and then post them up on here.
It makes helping you out remotely a lot easier...
I dont know....is it worth it to get one of these OBD diagnostic scans done?? My car only runs badly internittently?!
YES, it is! The ECU stores fault codes as various components on the car report them during runtime.
So even if your fault is intermittent, there is a good chance that the ECU will have logged an error code during the fault period and this can save a lot of legwork and £££££.
In summary, newer BMWs have even more sensors and electronic reporting systems...so there is an even greater likelihood of a fault being reported.
With slightly older cars...it is still a BMW and as such is clever by nature! The fault codes can really be a great signpost to fixing any problems that are present on your car.
A faulty ABS sensor that gives you an ABS warning light on your dash will report itself to the ECU, with many models actually telling the computer which sensor (which wheel) is at fault.
Your car is drinking (stupidly expensive) fuel like there is no tomorrow. Your pretty sure it never used to be this bad!!
What could it be?
There is a good chance that the Lambda sensor(s) (commonly known as the O2 sensor(s) ) could be at fault.
This will be logged in the ECU as a fault and will confirm if that is the problem.
This list will be added to as I have time!
