I had an episode called top.gear.s05e05.Jaguar S-Type Diesel Lapping The Nürburgring. When adding top gear to SickBeard it gave me an error "'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 9: ordinal not in range" or something close to that anyway when i renamed Nürburgring to Nurburgring, it added all the episodes correctly.
As for the post processing, yeah unraid is based on slackware. #!/usr/bin/python is correct and did chmod +x. still no go.
Well if you can execute it manually from the console it must be something with SAB - maybe post the log on their forums.
As for that episode I will look into that - if you can reproduce it and paste the exact error message I can probably fix it. If you ever get a crash at all please save the error and let me know so I can fix it.
EDIT: I just tried naming an episode with that character in it and it added and refreshed/updated fine, so please reproduce this error if you can so I can fix it.

"Needs an update desperately"
The rooms were soooooo dirty even the ice bucket had dirt in the bottom. The pool was closed which is the main reason we booked. Overall not impressed and they could use some updates in the hotel AND deep cleaning.Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

"seriously needs to be renovated"
The front desk was helpful and kind enough, but all of that was overshadowed by the smell of smoke in the hallway. Apparently, a housekeeper quit the job and didn't finish the work for the day. Why didn't anybody check to see if the rooms assigned for cleaning were completed or not? Serious problem with management, I'd say.

"Very Poor Visit"
It was terrible. We stayed 3 nights. They never cleaned the room, changed the sheets, supplied fresh towels or any amenities. In fact, when we checked in, the bathroom was dirty. The remote did not work. I called the front desk and they said they'll send some one in. He never came. A day later he showed up after we called again. We rarely complain, […] but this was exceptionally terrible. This hotel is dated and dirty. We will never stay there again. We've stayed in many Comfort Inns and enjoyed our stay, however we thought you should be aware of these conditions and not recommend this particular Comfort inn.

This hotel was not prepared for our stay, no towel in bathroom and no ash tray in a smoking room. When asked for towels the maid gave us a bunch of hand towels and one regular one.

"Beat up and tired without enough staff"
The hotel was showing its age and lots of neglect. The common areas were dirty and stained. The room was in better condition but was only moderately clean. Since I am bald, I can guarantee that the strands of long black hair in the bathroom were not mine. The breakfast area is poorly arranged and the attendant could not keep up with the messes people […] made and restocking items/food. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"You get what you pay for"
Cheap. Hotel room itself was clean and tidy, hotel complex was gross, stains all over the carpet in the common areas, smelled like a wet rag everywhere. "Continental breakfast" consisted of next to nothing and was disgusting. However for a cheap place to stay while in town for one night for a concert, it did justice, and would stay there again for the […] same reason! LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

"Good for the price"
The hotel location was perfect with a line of restaurants and shopping at our door. The hotel was nice and clean except for the carpets. Our bedding and room was very clean. Housekeeping cleaned our room while we were out. Breakfast was great with scrambled eggs, gravy and biscuits, and make your own waffles. The pool area was nice for the kids. The […] only complained was the carpets, we wore our shoes while in the room and the pillows were very uncomfortable.

"Disgusting. Period."
I travel a good deal and need an easy 2 night stay. The rate was inexpensive, but I absolutely did not get what I paid for. This hotel is filthy. Carpets are stained throughout and my room, which was an "upgrade" due to a hotel booking error, was horrible. Hair, toenail clippings, and a stopped drain greeted me in the bathroom.

"Not too bad, not too great"
We recently stayed at the Comfort Inn West while we were visiting friends in Akron. While the condition of the hotel and the amenities were decent, there was an unpleasant smell throughout the hallway and room (most likely because we were given a smoking room when I asked for non-smoking).

"Never, ever again! Yuck. A dump."
I have stayed in a lot of hotels, and this one has to be the worst that I have stayed in. I don't mind if a hotel's not updated, as long as it's clean and the staff is nice. This hotel was not clean and the staff was not helpful. I have read many reviews about how this hotel had a renovation recently, I hate to see what it looked like before. When we […] first arrived, we had to carry our luggage to the 2nd floor (there's no elevator); the stairwell & hallway were hot and sticky & smelled of smoke. Our room was seriously outdated, with an old fold-out couch, a refrigerator thrown in a rickety cabinet and an outdated jacuzzi tub. The lighting was horrible and the air conditioner unit was loud. I had to run out and when I returned, there were 4 police cars outside the hotel. The one positive thing I will say was that it was quiet, however the beds were so uncomfortable. The next day, housekeeping came while we were getting ready, I asked them to come back in a little while, we never saw them again. That night, when I went down to the front desk to request more towels (we were only given 2 for 4 people), I was told that housekeeping would bring them up. I am still waiting. Also, when I was at the front desk the police were back again dealing with another situation. I am not sure of what is going on at this hotel, but we were told by relatives also staying at the hotel, that a school bus dropped some kids off at the hotel while they were there (we had not arrived yet).

Couch was dirty, bed was comfy but pillows were so small. Bathroom was dingy and exhaust was loud.Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
The hotel was clean, quiet and very comfortable. My only complaint is that the sink stopper was stuck in the closed position and would not stay open without sliding my room key under it to allow the sink to drain. I mentioned it to the front desk right after checking in but it was not fixed.Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

I was satisfied with the room. My main problem was that while we were out all day that Sunday the room had not been cleaned, when we returned I had to get towles and wascloths from the front desk.Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
Peeling wallpaper and ceiling from water damage, mattresses with no padding left - felt the springs for a very uncomfortable sleep, mirror off hooks in bathroom kept up because stuck in gap between sink and wall, carpets very dirty.Kontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

"Good hotel for the money"
Everything about the hotel was fine except that the pool was closed for maintenance and one of the reasons I chose to stay here was the indoor pool. The breakfast was very good and there was a good selection of hot and cold items. The room was good, beds were comfortable and bathroom clean. Overall a good place for the money.Kontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"Comfort Inn Montrose West"
The staff was pleasant and helpful however the hotel is dire need of updating. Carpets,though they appeared to be vacuumed and free of debris, are old,worn and beyond the point of cleaning. Hallway carpets are malodorous. Replace them!Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

The maintenance, cleanliness was marginal. Took 4 different rooms on check in to get a working in-room safe. Staff friendly but obviously very limited by poor staff. They did give a credit on my room for so many screw ups but only after persistent asking on my part. This location is not consistent with usual comfort inn standards. Shameless!Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"Close to the highway"
We stayed at this hotel to do some visiting in the Akron area. The hotel is right off the highway so getting into "the old section" of Akron took only 10 - 15 minutes. Plenty of restuarants are within walking distance. Along with the "regular" continetal breakfast, eggs, sausage and waffles were served. The employees at the registration desk were very […] friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable. There is an indoor pool but I did not use it. I would highly recommend this hotel and stay here again when in the Akron area. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus
"Comedy of errors checking in"
There was a line of about eight people waiting to check in. During that wait, they hotel ran out of key cards, which I am still baffled by. The cards brought in didn't work on my room door...until the third card was issued to me. The girl at the desk handled it well, but still three key cards and a 30 minute wait to check in?Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

The hotel was dingy looking on the inside. Felt very depressing. The mattress onteh King bed was lumpy.

Q: Is your goal to make everything picked the same amount of times? (from j.walsh)
A: I don't think about it that way exactly. Sure it's good if there is a nice distribution and that is something to work towards, but really the goal in DotA's development is, first and foremost, to make the gameplay quality the best it can be. It is the combination of all the heroes, items and mechanics together that makes DotA what it is and not the individual elements alone. Sometimes that means certain things are carefully adjusted to be more frequent than others, sometimes it doesn't, but ultimately the main judge of a game's quality is not in some artificial balance metric, but in the overall gameplay quality and depth that it has.

Okay, stupid question time: I'm one of those people who rarely or never shift (and never learned how to drive a manual transmission). I also don't live somewhere I'm driving in a lot of mountains.But still: which direction is which? Do I shift to a smaller number going up a hill, or down? How do I know when I should shift it? Where does the normal "D" fit in?

Form and Content (Masterplots II: African American Literature, Revised Edition)
The Autobiography of Malcolm X is an interesting and exciting book. Although it is based on fact, it reads like a novel. It tells the story of a young African American who inherits the gifts of courage and self-reliance from his father and mother and rises to international prominence despite overwhelming odds. As a child, Malcolm often went hungry. His father, an itinerant preacher, was constantly moving because of threats from white bigots who resented his espousal of the back-to-Africa program of Marcus Garvey. Malcolm's worldview was forever affected by his memories of late-night raids by the Ku Klux Klan and his father's murder by members of another white supremacist organization called the Black Legion. His widowed mother eventually suffered a nervous breakdown under the strain of trying to rear eight children on welfare, and she had to be institutionalized. Malcolm became a virtual orphan and a ward of the state.
Along with his remarkable strength of character, the young African American child was exceptionally intelligent and got outstanding grades in the nearly all-white schools he attended. His academic success motivated him to achieve financial success, but he soon realized that most doors were shut to African Americans at that time. Eventually, he drifted into a life of crime. His book is full of interesting, often shocking, anecdotes, and many of these have to do with his adventures as a con artist, pimp, gigolo, drug peddler,...

Form and Content (Masterplots II: Nonfiction Series)
In The Autobiography of Malcolm X, written in conjunction with Alex Haley, Malcolm X reveals his early life as a big-city hustler, defends his view of the white man as "the devil" and his conversion to Islam, and explains his eventual abandonment of the black separatist movement (which in its most extreme mode called for the United States Congress to grant land for a black state) in favor of a "Human Family," a "Human Society" united under the one God and the one moral code of Islam. His purpose, simply put, was to invoke social change in America: "I have given to this book so much of whatever time I have because I feel, and I hope, that if I honestly and fully tell my life's account, read objectively it might prove to be a testimony of some social value."
At midpoint in the work, Malcolm states that his whole life "had been a chronology of—changes," and his autobiography is an attempt to chronicle and explain these changes. The nineteen chapters of the autobiography can be thematically grouped into three parts. The first nine chapters chronicle Malcolm's youth and adolescence in the Midwest, focusing on the strength of family relationships and hardships suffered from conflicts with the white community. Chapters 10 through 16 are devoted to his conversion to Islam and his rise and fall from power within the organization led by Elijah Muhammad, the Nation of Islam. In chapters 17 and 18, Malcolm recounts his trip to Mecca...

Form and Content (Masterplots II: Juvenile & Young Adult Biography Series)
In nineteen chapters, The Autobiography of Malcolm X traces his life from his birth as Malcolm Little in Omaha to his troubled youth and eventual imprisonment to his ultimate emergence as one of the most important and powerful voices for social change and black rights in the 1950's and 1960's. An introduction by M. S. Handler and an epilogue by Malcolm's collaborator, Alex Haley, furnish perspectives on Malcolm as well as on the events leading up to and following his assassination in 1965. The book ends with a brief tribute to Malcolm by actor Ossie Davis, who delivered the eulogy at Malcolm's funeral.
The first half of the autobiography outlines Malcolm's youth, the breakup of his family, and his life on the streets. At age six, Malcolm lost his father, who was presumably murdered by white supremacists angered at Earl Little's preaching of Marcus Garvey's "back-to-Africa" philosophy. Six years later, Malcolm's mother was placed in a mental institution, where she remained for twenty-six years, and her eight children were separated and sent to various foster homes. At fourteen, Malcolm quit school and went to live with his half sister Ella in Boston. Eventually moving to Harlem, Malcolm became a hustler, drug dealer, and finally leader of a burglary ring.
It was during six years of imprisonment for robbery that Malcolm's life irrevocably changed. Introduced to the religion of the Nation of Islam, Malcolm began...

Historical Context
Struggle for Civil Rights in the 1950s and 1960s
Until a number of court cases struck down segregation of the races in the United States, blacks were barred or restricted—sometimes by law—from a variety of public venues, such as restaurants, neighborhoods, golf courses, schools, and movie theaters. The 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka made separate schools for blacks illegal. Over the next couple years, the Supreme Court handed down a series of decisions invalidating segregation of golf courses, swimming pools, and beaches.
Some historians see Rosa Parks's spontaneous 1955 refusal to give up her seat in the front of a Montgomery, Alabama, bus to a white man as the first step in the American civil rights movement. Parks, an African-American woman, was arrested and fined for violating the city's segregationist laws about where she was allowed to sit. Four days later, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a young Baptist minister in Montgomery, urged a local bus boycott, and various black organizations supported his effort. By 1956, the boycott supporters won a small but critical victory when a federal district court issued an injunction prohibiting the racial segregation of buses in Montgomery.
The boycott and subsequent events catapulted King into the national limelight as a civil rights leader. During the Montgomery protest, King was jailed and his house was bombed. King's philosophy of...

Literary Style
Malcolm X uses foreshadowing to highlight how far his life has taken him as well as to prepare his readers for disappointment and trauma. For example, early in the book he speaks of his successes as well as of his less admirable points. When he moves to Boston, he relates, he hears about Harvard Law School. "No one that day could have told me I would give an address before the Harvard Law School Forum some twenty years later,'' he continues. A few sentences down the page, he hints, ''I didn't know how familiar with Roseland I was going to become,'' referring to the many nights he spent dancing and partying at the famed ballroom.
Malcolm X's references to his death increase as the autobiography moves toward its finale. Much of this, of course, has to do with his awareness that some in the Nation of Islam want him dead after his split from the organization; but Malcolm X's allusions to his own death are still remarkable in their context. For example, he says that he considers each day to be ''another borrowed day'' and that he is living each day ''as if [he were] already dead.''
Point of View
This autobiography was ''told to'' another party, Alex Haley, who edited and organized the information Malcolm X related to him in numerous conversations. Nonetheless, the book is written in the first person, with Malcolm X as the "I" in the story. It is written in a conversational...

Compare and Contrast
1960s: In 1962, the Twenty-Fourth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution is proposed and, by 1964, is passed as law. One of its primary features is a ban on poll taxes in federal elections, giving the poor and many African Americans increased ability to vote. In 1965, the Voting Rights Act is passed, temporarily suspending literacy tests intended to restrict voting by African Americans and other minorities. Thanks to these two pieces of legislation, by the end of the decade there are 1,469 African-American elected officials in the United States, according to the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.
Today: Currently, the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies reports that there are nearly nine thousand African-American elected officials in the United States.
1960s: Malcolm X claims that there are approximately four hundred thousand members of the Nation of Islam in the United States.
Today: Nearly forty years after Malcolm X's assassination, there are an estimated one hundred thousand Nation of Islam members.
1960s: In 1963, the ''I Have a Dream'' speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. galvanizes nearly 250,000 participants in the March on Washington to support pending civil rights legislation.

For the origin of Vilebrequin, we leave our Vlieland shores for the chic Saint-Tropez coast of the 70's. At the French Riviera, the lovely feeling of a new youth culture is in the air and the elegant seaside resort enjoys the music, champagne and night clubs. Life without worries is the motto. In the meantime, at cafe Senequier, a young designer develops swimwear in new trendy colors, excelling in their brutality and originality. The shorts have long legs and are based on the rugged surf clothing: they are opposed to the traditional, old-fashioned bathing slip. At the beaches, the new trend is embraced lovingly and the success of Vilebrequin is a fact. Over the years Vilebrequin grows into a swimwear icon and the brand
becomes a worldwide success. From New York to Paris and from the Caribbean to our cute island Vlieland, the shorts are a symbol of elegance, freedom, originality and trendy colors. Vilebrequin gives unprecedented attention to details and exclusive prints: each print contains at least eight colors and the range collects even more than fifty colors. The creativity is reflected in the 'like father, like son' concept, which means sons can wear the same tough swim shorts as their father. The fashion label stole our hearts, especially with Magic Swim Short: cute turtles are only visible if the swimsuit is wet. The collection is stylish and colorful: with Vilebrequin we get our own little piece of Riviera in the store. Saint-Tropez at the Wadden sea!
