Beowulfs and related cluster computers are used to do High Performance Computing (parallel supercomputing, basically). What you need to do is look into e.g. Turbolinux which has some interesting tools to accomplish your task, although I imagine that related tools are also available in other distributions. rgb -- Robert G.

Your days at the beach with a bucket and shovel making castles in the sand were child's play compared to what you'll see at sand sculpting events.
There, the massive, inventive, intricate works of art go so far beyond "sand castles." You'll never look at sand and water the same way again. (Keep reminding yourself---it is just sand and water.)
On Day One of a contest, a solo sculptor or "carver" is presented with a 10-ton pyramid of sand (two-person teams in doubles competition work with 20 to 25 tons).
Then, through a rigorous process of shoveling, packing, stacking and carving, a sculpture takes shape.
Spectators can watch it all -- from the first day "pound up" in which the sand is compressed, to the hours of carving with manual tools such as trowels, butter knives, tablespoons and drinking straws, plus some that the sculptors devise for themselves. (Dutch sculptor Wilfred Stijger's patented Willysphere -- inspired by the base of a wine glass -- makes perfect sand spheres.)
"The first question anyone asks us is what happens when it rains, but wind and sun are worse than rain when you're sculpting sand," says Rusty Croft, who with Kirk Rademaker is co-owner of Sand Guys International and co-hosted the Travel Channel series "Sand Masters." "We wet down the sculptures as we work. The surface tension of the water holds the sand together."
Finished sculptures may be sprayed with a solution of water and school glue to preserve them for long-term viewing.
Nevertheless, many sand sculpture events are held under tents or temporary shelters safe from the elements, and quite a few take place off the beach in parks and open spaces where sand is brought in especially for the event.
"The sand is always different," Croft notes. "Sand dug out of the ground has sharp edges that lock together. Beach sand is rounded because it's been washed by the waves. You have to listen to the sand. It tells you what to build. Sand sculpture is a brilliant mix between engineering and artwork."
Here are some of the masters' top picks for sand sculpting events around the globe. No bucket required.
July 19-21, 2013
National Sand Sculpting Festival, Revere Beach, Revere, Massachusetts
"There's a wonderful festival atmosphere here and the sand is definitely some of the best stuff out there -- you can make crazy vertical sculptures," says Sue McGrew, a Tacoma-based professional sand sculptor and a member of the "Sand Masters" team. "They finish the event off with a bang ... fireworks. And there's easy access from Boston by public transportation."
August 10-September 8, 2013
International Sand Sculpture Festival, Rorschach, Switzerland
"You're sculpting in a park on the Bodensee and you have the Alps behind you; the whole event has a great elegant feel," says Kirk Rademaker, who will pair with Wilfred Stijgers of the Netherlands in this year's doubles competition. With a full week to complete their pieces, the doubles carvers create spectacular things.
August 30-September 2, 2013
U.S. Sand Sculpting Challenge, San Diego
On the water, but not on the beach, this four-day competition takes place on the B Street cruise ship terminal pier in downtown San Diego. Croft calls it one of the more progressive events on the sand sculpting calendar, giving carvers four days to work. There's also a head-to-head team competition and a chance for visitors to vote for this year's People's Choice sand sculpture.
September 27-October 6, 2013
International Sandsculpting Championship, Virginia Beach, Virginia
A significant cash prize for the winners ensures that the field of competitors is top-notch. Carvers love this event and so do spectators. Look for lots of international representation here, including Fergus Mulvany from Ireland, Benjamin Probanza from Mexico, Edith Van Wetering of the Netherlands, and Canadian master carvers Guy-Olivier Deveau, David Ducharme, Karen Fralich and Abe Waterman.
October 15-20, 2013
Carve San Francisco, San Francisco
Croft and Rademaker are consulting on and participating in this event, which will be held for the first time this year.

Park in BC (JF Bergeron photo)
Although easily accessible to population centers, the parks of Vancouver Island are exceedingly diverse.
There are gruelling multi-day hikes along rugged coastlines at Pacific Rim National Park Reserve and Cape Scott Provincial Park. Sun-baked sandy beaches warm the water for swimming at Tribune Bay and Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park.
Cathedral Grove in MacMillan Provincial Park offers a cedar-scented stroll through an old-growth forest that is nothing less than spiritual. Or visitors can board a passenger ferry and explore Newcastle Island Marine Provincial Park, a popular day trip from Nanaimo.
There are places to go kayaking, canoeing, mountain biking, skiing and caving. There are lots of places to swim and picnic and pitch a tent. Plenty of places to fish for salmon, photograph the wildlife and visit interpretive centres.

Pacific Rim National Park Reserve Strathcona Provincial Park Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park Cape Scott Provincial Park Newcastle Island Marine Provincial Park MacMillan Provincial Park Juan de Fuca Provincial Park Goldstream Provincial Park Tribune Bay Provincial Park
The best of the coast has been collected into this one magnificent park: majestic forests back drop spectacular beaches; rugged headlands pocket miniature tidal pools; placid inland waterways invite kayakers to explore snug coves; and a rugged multi-day hike challenges the body while it expands the soul. That is Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.
Camping in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve Green Point Campground, located on a forested plateau above Long Beach offers 94 vehicle-access sites and 18 walk-in sites. Season is mid-March to mid-October. Reservations recommended for vehicle-access sites.
Getting There Long Beach is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island between Ucluelet and Tofino. The Broken Group Islands are approached by water from Toquart Bay off Highway 4.
The West Coast Trail is approached from the north through Pachena Bay Trailhead, 5km/3mi north of Bamfield or from the south through Gordon River Trailhead, 5km/3mi north of Port Renfrew.
Strathcona Provincial Park was created in 1911, making it the first provincial park in BC. Located in the center of Vancouver Island, the park is comprised of a ruggedly spectacular patch (250,000 ha/618,000ac) of wilderness. Buttle Lake and Forbidden Plateau offer visitor services. Beyond that the trails are challenging and visitors must ensure they are prepared with the appropriate skills and equipment.
Camping in Strathcona Provincial Park There are 170 vehicle-access campsites. Some are reservable. Wilderness and marine camping at designated locations. Winter camping is permitted.
Getting There The southern access point to the park is a one-hour drive from Courtenay via Highway 19 and Mount Washington Road. The northern access point to the park is a 45-minute drive from Campbell River via Highway 28.
Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park offers easy ocean access, a backdrop of magnificent old growth forest, 5.5km/3.4mi of easy walking trails.
The 2km/1.2mi long sandy beach that fronts this park makes it a magnet for day-use and overnight campers. When the tide retreats, it leaves nearly 1km/0.6mi of open sand for castle construction, beach ball soccer and family fun. When the tide rolls back in over that sun-baked sand the water warms, creating near-perfect conditions for swimming and water play.
Camping in Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park 150 vehicle-access sites and 15 walk-in sites. Campsite offers an extended season, March 14 – Oct 15 with reservations required during the summer months.
Getting There The park is located 3km/1.8mi south of Parksville on Hwy 19a, on central Vancouver Island.
Cape Scott Provincial Park is a rugged coastal park located at the northwest tip of Vancouver Island, and its rough-hewn landscape remains very much the way it was when Captain James Cook dropped anchor in 1778. With 115km/72mi of ocean frontage to explore, hikers have many destinations to choose from. The shortest is a 2.5km/1.5mi trek to beautiful San Josef Bay. The longest, to Cape Scott at the tip of the island is 23.6km/14.6mi from the trailhead.
Trails lead hikers through majestic old growth rainforest with Sitka spruce and western red cedar that exceed 3m/9.8ft in girth, onto beach frontage that includes rocky promontories, saltwater marshes, sea stacks, jagged headlands and the finest white sand beaches.
Accomplished sea kayakers will find lots to explore in the many bays and bights. All visitors should be prepared for adverse weather; the Cape is often windy and wet. They should also be prepared to encounter bears as this is prime habitat. Visit the park's website for information about hiking/camping in bear territory.
Camping in Cape Scott Provincial Park There are 11 tent pads at Eric Lake. No reservations. Wilderness camping permitted throughout the park.
Getting There Cape Scott Provincial Park is 64km/40mi west of Port Hardy.
Newcastle Island has a long and colourful history as the site for: historic Salish First Nations villages, coal mining and sandstone quarrying, a fishing industry, shipbuilding and a 1900s era pleasure resort. Today, Newcastle Island Marine Provincial Park is a 336ha/830ac park that appeals not only to those looking for an experience rich in history and Aboriginal culture but to those who long to hike its 22km/14mi of scenic trails.
Whether it is for an afternoon in the well-developed day use area or a few days of quiet camping, hop on a boat – your own or the public ferry – and do what people have done for over a century and "head for Newcastle." During summer months, the restored Pavilion is home to the park's interpretive programs.
Camping in Newcastle Island Marine Provincial Park There are 18 walk-in campsites. No reservations.
Getting There The park is a ten-minute passenger-only ferry ride from Nanaimo.
Better known as Cathedral Grove, this unique park was created to protect and preserve accessible stands of Douglas fir and western red cedar. A well-marked network of trails (some wheelchair accessible) lead visitors into a towering old-growth forest where some trees are more than 800 years old and measure more than 9m/30ft in circumference. MacMillan Provincial Park offers an exceptional experience. To walk in the shadow of these rainforest giants, the cedar-infused air moving in and out of one's lungs is to be at one with Mother Nature herself.
Getting There Highway 4, between Qualicum Beach 25km/15.5mi west and Port Alberni 16km/10mi east, cuts directly through the park.
Just south of the world-renowned West Coast Trail, Juan de Fuca Provincial Park is a coastal park that offers hikers an opportunity to test the same terrain but in smaller bites. The Juan de Fuca Marine Trail covers 47km/29mi of rugged but breathtakingly beautiful Pacific shoreline. Hikers should expect to be challenged.
Day hikers can get their feet wet, literally, and enjoy shorter versions of the trail by accessing those trails in the Botanical Beach area. Day trippers looking for an easier walk should head to China Beach for short walks down densely forested paths to viewing decks and the great rolling breakers of the tumultuous Pacific Ocean. Sombrio Beach is a world-class surfing beach – a magnet for surfers and storm watchers in the winter months.
Camping in Juan de Fuca Provincial Park There are 75 vehicle-access sites at China Beach. Some wheelchair accessible. Reservations possible. Wilderness camping along the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail.
Getting There Located on the west coast of southern Vancouver Island, Juan de Fuca Provincial Park is accessed via Highway 14 between the communities of Jordan River and Port Renfrew.
Just 16km/10mi to the north of BC's capital city, Goldstream Provincial Park is a refreshing walk in the great outdoors. The easily accessible trails crisscross a forested landscape that is distinguished by the presence of a 600-year-old Douglas fir and a pretentious 47.5m/155ft waterfall that calls itself "Niagara." Ambitious hikers tackle the Mount Finlayson trail, a steep track that leads to the highest elevation in the area.
But the park's claim to fame is the chum salmon spawning run that occurs in October and November. A boardwalk into the habitat makes it easy for visitors to take a close look at the spawning salmon and the bald eagles who swoop down to feed on their spent bodies. Park naturalists from the Freeman King Visitor Centre offer interpretive programs and informative lectures.
Camping in Goldstream Provincial Park There are 173 vehicle-access sites open over an extended season March 14 – October 31. Some sites are reservable. Winter camping permitted but no services.
Getting There The park is located 16km/10mi northwest of Victoria on Highway 1.
Calling it "Little Hawaii" may be a stretch. But there is no doubt Tribune Bay Provincial Park is an island paradise, BC style. A white sand beach stretches into an aquamarine bay that boasts some of the warmest saltwater swimming in the province. Located on Hornby Island, between Vancouver Island and the mainland, this picturesque park encourages visitors to snap open the lounge chair, sit back and watch the world float by.
A five-minute stroll from Tribune Bay takes visitors into downtown Hornby, an eclectic community of artists whose shops and cafes reflect that creativity.
Camping in Tribune Bay Provincial Park There is no camping in Tribune Bay Provincial Park but there are commercial camping facilities on Hornby Island.
Getting There The park is located on Hornby Island, accessed by two short ferry rides from Vancouver Island.
Play a part in protecting BC's forests. Abide by local park rules, exercise caution and ensure all fires are extinguished. To report a forest fire within BC from a cell phone, call *5555.

Woman incompetent for trial in fatal stabbing of boyfriend

Continuing stories
A 41-year-old woman accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend in her North Side home last year has been found incompetent to stand trial.
Alesia Sheppard of Argyle Drive "is suffering from a severe mental illness" and "is not capable of assisting in her own defense," a Netcare psychologist found during a court-ordered evaluation.
Sheppard was indicted on charges of murder and tampering with evidence after calling 911 on Oct. 3 to report the stabbing of Larry Edwards, 62. Police said she confessed to stabbing Edwards, who died in Grant Medical Center.
Franklin County Common Pleas Judge John F. Bender found her incompetent last month after the prosecution and defense accepted the conclusions in the psychologist's report.
The finding is not the same as being ruled not guilty by reason of insanity.
The psychologist, Daniel D. Hrinko, wrote that he thinks Sheppard can be restored to competency and put on trial. In the meantime, she will be held in a secure psychiatric unit at Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare.
In a letter to the court, Hrinko said Sheppard's symptoms include "auditory hallucinations, delusional beliefs, paranoia and erratic and impulsive behaviors."

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Natural Gas - Conclusions
Natural gas will act as a gateway towards the energies of the future, including hydrogen. Technology will undoubtedly play a major role in this process. Innovating technologies, combining renewable energies (solar energy for instance) and natural gas will increasingly contribute to the response to sustainability development issues.
However, in the years ahead, the pace of growth in the gas market will remain very closely conditioned by the industry's ability to invest massively, to replace existing systems and to build new infrastructure and production capacity. Closer cooperation between all the players along the gas chain will accordingly be essential.

ABOUT SICKLE CELL DISEASE: Sickle cell disease is a hereditary blood disorder that affects the red blood cells. People with this disease have red blood cells that mostly contain an abnormal type of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the main substance of the red blood cells, helping them carry oxygen from the air in our lungs to the different parts of the body. Normal red blood cells are smooth and round, like doughnuts, so they can squeeze through the blood vessels; they also live for about 120 days before new cells replace them. People with sickle cell disease have misshapen red blood cells, usually hard and pointed, and shaped like a sickle (crescent). This makes it more likely for them to get stuck in small blood vessels and block the flow of blood, so that tissue throughout the body becomes oxygen deprived and damaged. These abnormal red blood cells also don't live as long as normal ones -- only about 16 days -- and the body simply can't make enough new red blood cells to keep up. With fewer red blood cells in the body, people with the disease can suffer from anemia, gallstones, and jaundice, among other complications.
INHERITING SICKLE CELL DISEASE: Having sickle cell disease is not the same thing as carrying the sickle cell trait. People with sickle cell trait are generally healthy; they don't have the disease, they merely carry the gene that causes the disease. And they can pass this gene on to their children. All sickle cell conditions are inherited from parents, just like blood type, and hair and eye color. If one of the parents has sickle cell anemia and the other is not a carrier of the trait, all of the children will have the sickle cell trait. In this case, there is a 50 percent chance of their child having the condition. And if both parents have sickle cell trait, they have a 25 percent chance of having a baby with sickle cell anemia.

Supersweet corn is crisp and sugarcane-sweet at harvest, and this sweetness is retained much longer than with sweet corn. Skewers of pork tenderloin, supersweet corn, summer squash and red bell pepper make a perfect summer entree.
1. Preheat broiler or grill. Cut corn in 2-in. pieces and the pork, squash, and bell peppers into 1-in. pieces.
2. In large bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add pork and vegetables; toss to coat. Let stand for 10 min. at room temperature.
3. On eight metal skewers, loosely thread pork and vegetables. Grill or broil 8-10 min., turning occasionally, until meat is cooked through. If desired, serve with salad greens.
Note: Pork and vegetables can also be cooked unskewered on a grill rack or broiler pan, for 8-10 min., turning often.

DMA07 to Focus on Corporate Responsibility; Making the World a Better Place, One Direct Marketer at a Time
October 4, 2007 The words trust and trusted can be found at least a dozen times in the DMA07 Conference & Exhibition booklet, describing educational offerings aimed at maintaining consumer trust and bolstering loyalty. From keynoter Kenneth Coles social activism, to a session entitled Is Your Future Green? It Better Be, the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) has taken definitive steps to ensure that its largest event of the year reflects the Associations belief that direct marketing needs to be synonymous with corporate responsibility.
That sentiment will be evident throughout DMA07, the multichannel marketing event of the year, which will be held October 1318 at McCormick Place West in Chicago. From keynote speeches to individual sessions and entire programming tracks, DMA07 is serious about protecting consumers, and thereby protecting direct marketers.
In todays world, companies are judged not just by the products or services they provide, but for how they interact with their customers, and with the world around them, said Patricia Kachura, DMAs senior vice president for corporate responsibility. Companies that engage responsibly and respectfully with consumers create a foundation of trust that can contribute greatly to long-term brand loyalty and business success. And beyond individual relationships, todays consumers are more frequently looking at broader themes of corporate social responsibility, such as community, environmental, and charitable commitments.
DMA07 sessions and keynote presentations that focus on themes relating to corporate responsibility include:
· Kenneth Coles kickoff keynote, Responsible Leadership in Responsible Times, at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, October 15.
· The 10-session conference educational track, Retention and Loyalty Marketing, offered all Monday through Wednesday, October 1517.
· The session, Is Your Future Green? It Better Be, from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on Monday, October 15.
· The session, Do Customers Trust Your Email? from 9 to 10 a.m. on Wednesday, October 17.
· The session, Building Customer Trust: What to Do, How to Do It, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 17.
· The Post-Conference Intensive, Online Consumer Trust, from 2 to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, October 17, and continuing on Thursday, October 18 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
In addition, Kachura said DMAs Corporate Responsibility staff will host four special briefings for conferees on:
· Email authentication and reputation at 11 a.m. on Monday, October 15.
· DMA environmental programs at 3 p.m. on Monday, October 15.
· Providing consumers choice in receipt of mail at 11:15 on Tuesday, October 16.
· DMA guidelines on list management for data compilers/list managers and brokers at 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday, October 16.
In addition to speakers and programming, Kachura said DMA will introduce a special Corporate Responsibility Resource Center at DMA07. Here, attendees will be able to speak with DMAs Corporate Responsibility team to learn about our ever-growing portfolio of useful tools and practical information on how to be a good, responsible corporate citizen in todays marketplace. Among other things, she said delegates will be able to gather information on consumer trust, the environment, email authentication, data-compiler guidelines, as well as other DMA ethical business guidelines.
We have made a special effort to make sure that corporate responsibility in all its complex facets is represented in our programming for DMA07, said Kachura. From a customer perspective, a regulatory perspective, and an economic perspective, DMA wants to make sure that all of our members have the information and the tools they need to lead the way in responsible marketing.
About DMA07 Conference & Exhibition
DMA07, the largest gathering of direct marketing professionals, is DMAs annual conference and exhibition. DMA07 will feature more than 150 educational sessions, plus roundtables, case studies, white papers and research reports. DMA07s exhibit hall will feature more than 500 exhibiting companies. For more information, or to register for the six-day multichannel marketing event of the year, please visit www.dma07.org or call 1.800.293.7279 or 330.425.9330.

ALEDO, TX (WFAA/CNN) - A parent of a Texas high school football player says a blowout is the same as bullying.
The Aledo High School football team in Texas defeated Western Hills High School last week, by the score of 91 to nothing.
The father of a Western Hills player claims running up the score was an act of bullying, and that the Aledo coaches should have done something to stop it.
He's filed a complaint with the school district.
The winning coach says his team did nothing wrong and is trying to get ready for the playoffs.

Bangkok Post
Thailand has become the world's second fastest growing carbon dioxide polluter, but could become an Asian leader in "low-carbon diet" technology, United Nations climate experts say - if the country puts proper policies in place.
Between 1990 to 2004, Thailand ranked 22nd among the world's top emitters of carbon dioxide (CO2), and seventh place in Asia after China, India, Japan, South Korea, Iran and Indonesia, according to the UN Human Development Report 2007/2008 released on Tuesday.
Thailand's CO2 emissions have grown 12.8 per cent over the last 15 years, the second-fastest growth rate worldwide after only Malaysia, which ranked 26 among global carbon dioxide polluters.
Carbon dioxide has been blamed for global warming, whose impact on humanity, especially in the poorest countries, was the focus of the UN's latest Human Development Report.
"Thailand has the chance to be a leader in the region by increasing energy efficiency while putting in place innovative incentives for alternative energy and incorporating new technologies that reduce carbon emissions," said Gwi-Yeop Son, the UN Development Programme's Thailand representative.
The UNDP will be advising developing countries at international meeting on climate change in Bali next month to start cutting the CO2 emissions through a variety of measures, including carbon taxes, by providing incentives for alternative energy sources and encouraging investment and local research in fast-growing sector.
"If Thailand wants to get ready for cutting emissions then it better embrace these new technologies to create new industries here," said Martin Krause, UNDP regional climate change advisor. "Thailand could establish itself as a hub for other countries in Asia, to become a leader in the production of clean technologies, not just as a recipient," said Krause.
Thailand is one of the many developing Asian countries that is likely to be hard hit by global warming if the average world temperature increases by more than 2 degrees centigrade by 2050, according to scientists' predictions.
For instance, Oxfam and Greenpeace earlier this month predicted that an increase of just 1 degree Celsius in night-time temperatures during the growing season will reduce Asian rice yields by 10 per cent.
Thailand and other developing countries have been urged to reduce their CO2 emissions by 20 per cent by the year 2050, when the developed countries should cut their emissions by 80 per cent, according to the goals set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

I Don't Want Your Suicide On MY Conscience
There is a marked difference between making it possible to take one's own life and actively participating in it. Because we abhor suicide we have all kinds of programmes established to reach out to those who wish to take their own life. There is a cognitive dissonance at play when we now ask our own government, through legislation, to participate in ending life. And then to label it "health care" is Orwellian.

Your campaign should include a compelling Pitch Description and video.
Your Pitch will cover the who, what, when, where, why, and how of your campaign story. Be honest, transparent and authentic. Your Pitch should explain your mission to a stranger and compel them to contribute in a just a few succinct paragraphs.
In addition to your Pitch text, be sure to include a Pitch video. Indiegogo campaigns with videos raise 114% more on average than projects without one. Videos help reveal your story and connect the audience to your idea. You don't need a fancy camera or video editing software to make a compelling Pitch video. The best videos are personal and succinct. Anyone can make a great video!

why not make the playoffs team in the SL save rest goes down. Not sure on my status nxt year but I hope I can make it.

I talked with the Pimposita.......believe it or not she's know a lot about our lil fantasy world cause most of times the dear lady has to suffer under my no-end talk all year bla bla bla fantasy p2p bla bla so great so cool bla bla bla roy injured bla bla bla...hate my team.......love my team......bla bla bla....!
she's told me few things and i tender to agree with her!!!
We have to let some competition alive and keep the motivation high for next year!!!
6 for 6 may be too high cause we worked this year for the idea to have a SL(Super) and a CL(Challengers) but 4-4 may be a bit not fair enough for the guys who want to make it upper echelon!
i already thought 5 down and 5 up is more fair and that's actually what she said!
This means 7 guys in SL are safe and 5 guys in CL have the chance to make it!!!
This means in SL we can have 8 playoffs teams for 3 divisions and well the best 7 at end of playoffs are safe and we will have one unlucky playoffs team but this adds some more fuel too cause everybody will have a chance in playoffs to win the graal or fail big time!!!
This means in CL we can keep the 4 teams playoffs but 2 divisions so the 4 playoffs teams who are then qualified and after that we have a fight between 5-6-7-8 to get the last spot like we got one this year but only for the fifth place this gives the non playoffs teams something here to fight too!!!
take your time to think about my proposition!!!
I root against the 6-6 and i root against the 4down-8safe cause keep 8 teams up seems too high for me,i think we have to fight more and feel a lil pressure too in the playoffs..........this is great if you ask me!!!
I can see people wonder about the first seed in SL can end up down in CL but let's be honest if as first seed you can't beat the 8th seed well your team may not be good enough to stay in SL for one honest point of view.....and do not forget even if the first seed lose in first playoffs round,this does not mean they end in CL cause there still a fight left with the other losing teams in first round for 3 more weeks before we know who finish 8th...what is unlikely cause a first seed should have a great fantasy roster able to beat any team......so first seed has to lose multiple playoffs rounds to end 8th and if you're the first seed and you lose that much well you have no business to stay in SL.....just my honest opinion......we have to keep some fire and some suspense even in SL!!!
Of course i'll go with the majority for this decision but now you know what i think!!!

I'm very interested in joining the league. I've been playing fantasy basketball with my friends for a while, but they go inactive after the first few months and log on once a week to update their team.
I just need the type of league, categories, and your permission, and I'll be the champion of your fourth season.
right, I'll win your challenger league and then take down your super league the year after
haha anel you gotta give that guy a spot in the superleague
ill kill you son, teach you how to dougie and all that stuff ya know
ha ha ha love the baby trash talk!!!!
So you really want to play???
I mean really really really want to play???
cause all we want is only active owners,nothing less!!!
Not active members will be kicked out of the league...no quit allowed..no feelings in this case!!!
We play H2H 15 cats 18weeks reg season and 4 weeks playoffs!!!
multiples divisions and cause we can we have 44 different trophies to win through the season actually probably more but i lost the count!

hi you guys.
three short things - i love cachas idea of reducing places of people changing leagues. we dont have to hurry, so why do 6? the fantasy league is for a ton of years now (at least i hope so) so we dont have to rush right? i mean a good fantasy player who missed one of the first 4 spots will get one of them the year after. right? what i mean by that is that we should look for a long run.
and i totally agree with 4 up and 4 down. what anel mentioned is also a good idea, if i understand that right. like the idea that the 8th spot isnt safe to stay in the superleague. i get the point what anel is trying here. he wants that everyone fights until the end. good idea.
second thing is a little critic after a praise. i wrote you in the middle of the season, as alvy wasnt here anymore and some guys start to not do their lineup and were kicked. i wrote you a message, that i have a good friend, who is nba and fantasy obsessed like we are and if there is a chance to get him in here. we all see how great the thing with shooters friend worked out. so im a little bit dissapointed that a stranger get the spot before my friend. i thought you dear anel would always take mental notes. well maybe its better to not take mental notes but write it on paper. we all are getting old
third thing and thats maybe because im not here so much anymore or the fact that i dont trust kb248, but when i new guy comes up here and begin with such huge talk trash i always think he is the third account from tex. could a mod or supermod please check the ip would be bad if a good friend of mine, who really got skills and are on the wire everyday miss the place for a person we all hate.
so thats it. take care guys and see you soon
I am with Kobe on that one...
I also remember the time where he said a good friend of him would love to play with us...so it would be fair that he has the chance to get a spot...it has nothing to do with DominicJello...maybe he can get a spot as well...
just think we should first go with the active members who play since years now...than we know that in this case his friend is no guy who will quit or something like that...he will be fighter like Kobe himself...(cause i know Kobe hates the fact that someone will not do his lineup...)...i know this english wasn`t the best but you guys are all well qualified to understand what i just tried to say...
@Beat...please no police grammar this time...
beatpole2 (29-04-2011)
Remember we talked about a 3rd league?
btw I'll go for Pimp Lady's 5-5btw LM's/GM's.... I know it's a loooong time before next season and beyond but if we can start a little chat about it we will be well prepared. We can even start recruiting new players. Something to get us going...
2011 - 2012 League Format
We know top 6 from red and blue create the super league
"D" League for remaining players
Possible "College" League
2012 - 2013 League Format
- To enter Super League
Top 5 SL teams from 2011 - 2012 remain in SL
Top 5 from D league enter SL
Top 2 from College league enter SL
- D-League Set Up
Seeds 6 - 10 from 2011 - 2012 SL will drop to D-League
Seeds 6 - 8 from DL remain in DL
Seeds 3 - 6 from College League enter DL
- College League Set Up
Seeds 11 - 12 from 2011 - 2012 SL drop to College League
Seeds 9 - 12 from DL drop to CL
Seeds 7 - 12 from CL remain in CL
Let's make MyP2P the best Fantasy Sports playground in the universe!
thought a bit about it and i say 6 down. its the superleague and only top seeds deserve to be there...also the guys of the challenger league aren't that worse(or are they) than the superleague guys, so they have all the rights to earn a spot if they finish in the top 6 of their league

talley-13 (30-04-2011)
it's okay if you guys can't take me haha. I fully understand and it actually gives the CL guys a chance at the championship
and addressing activity concerns, I hardly count updating lineups as active. might as well just log on once a week to update. what really ticks me off is slow response to trade requests. if you can't accept, reject, counter, or ask for more time within two days, you've gone inactive in my eyes.

not answering trade requests is annoying but we don't count that as inactive
