Whether you are a corporate or non-profit state-hopping professional, you're facing a major challenge: establishing your credibility and maintaining your confidence while starting a new job—or looking for one—in a new city.
For you, "Don't they know who I am and what I can do?" is a common, exasperated internal mantra. Trust me, I'm on my third state as a professional public relations strategist.
Face it. These new-to-you people do not know who you are—and it could take them a long time to find out unless you properly introduce yourself.
It's time to LinkIn and LinkUp.
When is the last time you loved on your LinkedIn account? Many—including me—have found this free, web-based Rolodex to be immensely helpful for seeking out local mentors and industry leaders.
If you are new to LinkedIn, or have an abandoned profile, be sure you include a purposeful bio, your specialties, any of your publications and relevant websites. Next, ask your current and former colleagues to "recommend" you publicly on LinkedIn. The best way to initiate this is to recommend connections and ask them to return the favor.
Once your profile is ready for prime time, search for peers in your profession in your new city and politely ask a few of them to coffee via LinkedIn's InMail feature.
The bottom line: moving to a new city does not mean starting over. From Meetup.com to LinkedIn to Twitter, strategic and thoughtful use of online platforms can help you break the ice, build your brand and put you back on top in no time.

Splitting the Spree River into multiple zones for different uses can add diversity to the area. We want to see commercial transportation, ecological habitat corridors, personal boat use (i.e. kayak, sailboat, paddle boards), swimming, and recreational waterfront use. These zones can coexist amongst one another, while also providing aquaculture (i.e. plant filtration, algae growth) located in polluted zones to clean the Spree. Also adding uses along the waterfront, such as cycling networks, relaxation, recreation, and cultural centers can revitalize a strong sense of community in the area.


How Much Cake Can You Afford?
Wedding cakes are typically determined by the serving and how complex the design will be. The cost can vary but it typically ranges from $1.50 to $4 per serving, and this is nothing. Some locations can charge up to $10 per slice and much more. It's easy to be in-love with the thought of having many unique flavors but it does come with a cost. Knowing your budget before you have a tasting can help avoid going beyond your cake budget.
You want a cake that's compatible with your wedding style. Nothing is worse than having a wedding cake that doesn't match your overall wedding theme. Honestly, no one would really notice but let's face it, it's your big day so let's make it perfect! Make a list of your wedding venue theme, everything from the season, flower arrangements, menu and color scheme.
Not only should your cake be a showpiece, we want to make sure your guests rant about how amazing it tastes, too. Make a list of some of your favorite cake flavors or what you think would be delicious on your big day. And, don't be afraid to get away from the traditional vanilla and chocolate. Get crazy. Create new combinations. I'm open to anything when it comes to having fun with cake flavors.
Outdoor or Indoor Wedding? It Makes a Difference!
Vermont weddings are known for the lovely barn venues but along with the adorable barn style, is a very hot climate for any cake. If you're having an outdoor wedding or at a barn, we will need to consider fondant options to help prevent melting cakes. Fondant-covered cakes can hold up against some of the warm summer days.
If you're looking for a simple, yet elegant option that won't break the bank, fresh flowers or fresh fruit is the way to go. Cake toppers are another way to add more personality to your cake without increasing your cake cost. Sugar-paste flowers or gum paste work take a great deal of extra time since it's hand-made. All add-ons can raise the cake price.
It's your big day. Let me handle the setup, delivery and making sure your cake or dessert table looks fabulous. We will determine the details of where the cake will be located, setup, working with the venue coordinator - before we sign the contract.
Make Sure You Have Cake!
It's shocking how many couples don't actually have a chance to try their wedding cake on their big day. Crazy right? With the photos, dancing, food and other wedding events, make sure your catering company saves you a piece of cake for a late-night snack.
Want to get a starting price for a basic buttercream wedding cake? Use this cake calculator to get an idea!

Requiring Picture ID to Vote? That's Racist! by The Elephant's Child
Filed under: Domestic Policy, Election 2012, Humor, Law | Tags: Attorney General Eric Holder, Picture I.D., Return of Jim Crow
Attorney General Eric Holder and his minions are incensed that some states would require voters to show a picture I.D. It is, they are quite sure that it is a return of the Jim Crow days when Southern Democrats tried to keep blacks from voting.
Fox reports today that President Barack Obama's presidential campaign checked the identification of supporters attending Obama's "framing" event at Cuyahoga Community College. Supporters picked up tickets beginning on Monday, but today, at the door, every ID was checked to match it with the name on the ticket. They did that for every person who came in.
Picture I.D, is also required at every Department of Justice building across the country. The Washington DC office requires picture ID. The grocery store does too, to pay by check.
The President is Surprised That Regulation Might Have Economic Effects. by The Elephant's Child
Filed under: Domestic Policy, Economy, Election 2012, Health Care, Law, Progressivism | Tags: Destructive to Business, Economic Cost, The Effects of Regulation
President Obama was interviewed in Sioux City, Iowa b a local news reporter from KTIV. He seemed to be surprised that a company might have been hurt by ObamaCare, his signature health care reform.
KTIV's Matt Breen: "One of those businesses that I mentioned said very specifically, when they needed to close up shop and move their jobs back to Wisconsin, that it was a direct result of the health care reform that you initiated and that Congress passed. How do you react to that?
President Barack Obama: "Yeah, that would be kind of hard to explain, because the only folks that have been impacted in terms of the health care bill are insurance companies who are required to make sure that they're providing preventive care, or they're not dropping your coverage when you get sick. And so, this particular company probably wouldn't have been impacted by that. I know that there's a perception sometimes that there's all kinds of regulations coming out of Washington, the truth is actually we've seen fewer regulations coming out of my administration than the previous administration. But obviously, you know it's tough running a small business no matter what. And we're going to make sure that we continue to provide whatever financing help that we can provide.
Recent statistics show that 106 major new regulations have added more than $46 billion per year in new costs on Americans, with $11 billion in implementation costs. Major regulations are those that have an estimated economic cost of at least $100 million per year, so these are indeed a big deal.
Jamie Dimon, CEO of J.P. Morgan, was called to Congress to testify about his investment bank's loss of $2 billion, and noted that his bank has more than 100 regulators in his bank on a daily basis. Doing what? I don't know. Looking over shoulders, counting the change? Sounds absurd.
President Obama, in common with many on the left, clearly does not understand the effects of his actions. All over the country, doctors are leaving their practices to do something else, unwilling to continue under the excessive regulation imposed by ObamaCare. Even before ObamaCare, medicine was imperiled by too much ill-considered regulation. Physicians want to treat patients. That's why they chose it as a career.
I think the left thinks of regulations as beneficial controls that improve everything, without the slightest appreciation for the costs imposed, the reorganization that takes place, and the disruption to customary organizations. The president's comments are very revealing.
More Hidden Facts on Solyndra Surface. by The Elephant's Child
Filed under: Domestic Policy, Energy, Global Warming, Junk Science, Science/Technology | Tags: Big Job Losses, Hidden Documents, The Solyndra Scandal
Newly discovered documents reveal that the bankrupt solar firm Solyndra fired nearly 800 more employees than it had reported previously when it filed for bankruptcy last summer, according to the Washington Free Beacon. The company initially reported that it laid off 1,100 workers in total. U.S. Labor Department documents unearthed by the San Francisco Bay Citizen under the Freedom of Information Act show that 1,861 employees were let go in the days before the company collapsed.
The documents also show the Fremont company increased production in 2011, even though they had an unsold inventory of enough panels to power about 23,000 homes. These revelations will raise more questions about the $535 million federal loan guarantee from DOE, and the lack of supervision.
Obama recently stated that in his second term, he would make Climate Change a major initiative. Richard Epstein told us in 2008, in an Uncommon Knowledge interview that Obama does not change his mind. His ideas are set in concrete. It seems Mr. Epstein was right.
Obama's Big Economic Speech Offers No Hope, No Change. by The Elephant's Child
Filed under: Politics | Tags: A Rejected Vision, Not My Fault, Ohio Economic Speech
Obama gave a big 54 minute economic speech today in Ohio. He came across as a demagogue: spinning, inventing, class warfare and outright lies to misrepresent the past so that he could maintain his most important fantasy — that none of it was his fault. That's the real theme of his campaign: "It's not my fault!"
Obama initially ran on a theme of "Hope and Change" and convinced people that he was going to end the partisan warfare in Washington and bring about a community of the people. That was all hogwash, of course; Obama is a man of the hard left. During his brief term in the Senate, he had the farthest left voting record. of the entire Senate. We should have paid closer attention.
When I speak of "hard left," I don't think terms like socialism or communism or fascism are useful. I've begun to call it "The Big Government Project." The left is perpetually discontented, and wants to fix everything. They want to decide what we should eat, how we should live, how we should work, what energy we should use and how, and when.
The flood of new regulations —106 new major regulations have added more than $46 billion per year in new costs on Americans — have been devastating in discouraging entrepreneurship. The regulatory burden harms everyone, but the hard left can only see that people might nor behave correctly without their firm managerial hand. They know that we require a better kind of light bulb, no matter if it costs $50, they think it will last for 20 years.
Business complaints about overregulation turn into claims that Republicans want dirty air and dirty water and don't care about your children. That's sheer demagoguery.
He further hauls out the old saw about "tax cuts for the rich," claiming that Bush gave the rich such big tax cuts that it destroyed the economy, Tax cuts are measured in percentages, and the rich got a much smaller tax cut than anyone else. I trust you noticed that Obama speaks of "tax cuts for the rich" only in election years when he has time between campaign events hitting the rich up for their money.
When Obama first took office, he continually says, "we didn't know how bad it was" until confronted with the true crisis that was, of course, all Bush's fault. According to what I have read, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told the new president that they needed to set everything to one side and concentrate on the economy. The president said no, that wasn't enough for him, he needed more, and embarked on health care.
Obama's big policies were health care, the stimulus, and Dodd-Frank. They have each been complete and utter failures. ObamaCare has not even gone into effect and yet has done incredible damage to the healthcare system. We have a big modern state-of-the-art medical center, and 5 doctors seen by my family have departed for different work, and there is now a real problem in trying to find a physician. The stimulus was essentially wasted, and Dodd-Frank regulates all the wrong things and ignores the hippopotamus in the room which is "too big to fail."
Obama dreamed big dreams, he was going to end war, give everyone health care, stop the seas from rising and end our energy dependence on 'foreign oil', and none of it has worked. The state of the world's energy has shifted, and the president hasn't noticed. Global warming has proved to be a fraud, but he's still working on that.
His vision for the future — in his own words:
That's my vision for America: Education. Energy. Innovation. Infrastructure. And a tax code focused on American job creation and balanced deficit reduction.
This is the vision behind the jobs plan I sent Congress back in September — a bill filled with bipartisan ideas that, according to independent economists, would create up to 1 million additional jobs if passed today.
This is the vision behind the deficit plan I sent to Congress back in September — a detailed proposal that would reduce our deficit by $4 trillion through shared sacrifice and shared responsibility.
This is the vision he has sent to Congress twice, and which Congress has rejected unanimously twice. I find the contempt Obama has for his audience quite breathtaking.
Here's a new factoid from Keith Hennessey: "For every net government job lost since employment peaked in January 2008, the economy has lost more than 11 private sector jobs."

Trying to Avoid Responsibility is a Character Defect. by The Elephant's Child
Filed under: Capitalism, Democrat Corruption, Economy, Election 2012, Politics | Tags: Blame Somebody Else, Nothing is Obama's Fault, Taking Responsibility
How long will we experience "headwinds" rather than recovery? It's undeniably true that the American economy is vulnerable in part to forces outside of itself. It's also undeniably true that that's been the case for decades. This is still the worst recovery since World War II, made doubly worse since recoveries get sharper when recessions are deeper over that period. If the man in charge is still complaining about headwinds two years later, it might be time to find another sailor to take the helm.
The Auto Bailout Obama Brags About —Just Went to the Union. by The Elephant's Child
Filed under: Capitalism, Democrat Corruption, Domestic Policy, Economy, Law, Politics | Tags: Auto Bailouts, Bankruptcy Laws, Crony Capitalism
In his round of campaign fundraisers (150 to date) President Obama celebrates the bailout of General Motors and Chrysler as one of his administration's outstanding successes. The $23 billion the taxpayers lost was worth paying to avoid more massive job losses. But if the administration had treated the United Auto Workers in the manner required by bankruptcy law, he would have saved taxpayers $26.5 billion.
The Treasury Department estimates that taxpayers will lose $23 billion on the auto bailout. Researchers James Sherk and Todd Zywicki found that the preferential treatment given to United Auto Workers accounts for the American taxpayers' entire losses from the bailout. Had the UAW received standard treatment in a normal bankruptcy proceeding, the Treasury would have recouped its entire investment. Benefits allowed UAW members to retire in their mid-50s with minimal out-of-pocket expenses for the remainder of their lives. None of the taxpayers' losses came from "saving jobs" but instead from propping up the compensation of some of the most highly paid workers in America.
Overpaid workers with overgenerous benefits were a significant factor in the automakers' decline. Detroit's labor costs were 50% to 80% higher than other automakers like Toyota and Nissan. General Motors paid its unionized workers $70.51 an hour in wages and benefits, Chrysler paid $75.86 an hour. There were management mistakes, but these labor costs were a big reason why the automakers went bankrupt. Throughout the bailout, the Obama insulated the UAW from the sacrifices that unions usually make in a bankruptcy — at taxpayer expense. The UAW accepted huge pay cuts for new hires, but the administration kept the pay of existing UAW members at GM intact.
Section 1113 of the Bankruptcy Code enables reorganizing companies to improve their post-bankruptcy competitiveness by renegotiating union contracts to improve competitive rates. Thus GM still has higher labor costs than any of its competitors. UAW Employees at Delphi, a subsidiary of GM, got $1 billion of bailout funds to support their pensions. Delphi non-union retirees got nothing.
The $26 billion President Obama gave to the UAW is more money than the U.S. spent on foreign aid last year and 50% more than NASA's budget. None of the money kept factories running. It went, in true crony-capitalist fashion to Obama's union supporters.
There's a reason why we have bankruptcy laws. They're designed to see that everyone gets a fair shot, everybody is doing their fair share, and everybody is playing by the same rules — oh wait…

Susan also sent these little treasures. Along with her big one from yesterday…..they are all made from civil war reproductions and they are all pieced beautifully, of course.
They are so charming and sweet. I love any quilts with house blocks. It's something so charming & cozy about a house. I quilted shingles, stipple, continuous curves and little details to make the house stand out.
A feather to frame in all of these tiny court house blocks.Just simple straight lines to bring it all together.
So sweet. There is applique and lots of tine piecing. So I added leaves, feathers and just worked around all of the little details in the quilt.
Thanks Susan! It's always a pleasure to work with you! I hope you have a great holiday season!

Essential Nonprofit: The Way of the Rain
Each year The Essential Guide has the difficult task of selecting only one of the many deserving nonprofits in its region as the Essential Nonprofit. This year's honoree is The Way of the Rain, Inc. (TWOTR), a charitable, cultural and educational organization founded in November 2015 by Sibylle Szaggars Redford. TWOTR develops, produces and presents educational and artistic performances that promote public awareness of and support for the protection of the Earth. Redford's own artwork has been exhibited in the United States and several other countries, but it was as a multimedia environmentalist that she conceived of the nonprofit foundation. In 2010 she began exploring climate change's effects on our weather patterns and on our most precious environmental resource, water.
TWOTR's performance art series, "The Way of the Rain — Voices of Hope," was inspired by the annual monsoon rains that sustain life in the fragile landscape of the Southwest's high-desert plateau. Working in collaboration with world-renowned artists, Redford uses paintings, music, dance, film, light and the spoken word in live, interactive performances. While focused on our crucial environmental plight, the production also reminds audience members of their physical and spiritual connection to the planet and its beauty, and it invites them to action.
"The Way of the Rain" debuted in Albuquerque in 2013. Within five years, more than 5,000 audience members had seen performances. The nonprofit's film, "MotherEarth," has been viewed by almost a thousand youth. To further educational outreach, each screening is followed by a Q&A. New York City, Miami, La Jolla, Park City (UT), Sundance (UT), Lake Forest (IL), and Abu Dhabi are among the venues in which TWOTR has held performances.
Redford serves as the foundation's unpaid President and Artistic Director. The staff consists of a Managing Director, a part-time bookkeeper and a part-time social media person.
The Essential Guide acknowledges current and past honorees on its website. We also support these organizations with a financial contribution and by bringing them to our readers' attention. We encourage you, if so moved, to donate as well. With all of our help, these deserving organizations will continue to thrive.

Eloping in the Land of Enchantment
In with the New – New Mexico, that is!


We have five kids. Each one has a few Sunday School teachers and women's Bible study teachers. A few of them have additional Wednesday night club leaders and Junior church teachers. Needless to say, that adds up to a whole lot of people...31 to be exact...that pour into the lives of my children every week...voluntarily. Except for the occasional hug from one of the kids in their classes, most of these children's ministry workers, never get the proper "thanks" and recognition they deserve.
Christmas time has always brought the perfect opportunity to show our gratitude for all the many hours of service these volunteers provide. One of our Advent Countdown Activities has always been to make some kind of edible treat for each of them.
This year we chose to make Chocolate Pretzel Treats. With only three basic ingredients and easy-to-implement instructions, the kids were able to make them from start to finish all on their own...even my 3-year-old!
Preheat oven to 175˚. Evenly spread a layer of pretzels over an un-greased cookie sheet.
Unwrap an equal amount of Kisses.
Place each kiss in the center of a pretzel ring.
Bake for 2-3 minutes. Kisses should be shiny, but not melted.
Fill festive gift bags with these yummy treats and say "thank you" to all those many men and women who minister to your kids.
Wow...that's handy. My two middle boys have had the same teacher at times. Not currently, though.
Yummy! I'm a sucker for salty AND sweet at the same time. Have you ever tried this with Rolos? That's even better.
We haven't made these exact ones with Rolos, but something similar with a nut. NUMMY! I'll have to try Rolos with the M&Ms sometime. That sounds great.

Red Scorpion gang leader Matt Campbell's murder shows other gangs are fighting back
AsianJournal
THURSDAY'S murder of Red Scorpion leader Matt Campbell shows that gangs opposed to the Red Scorpions are fighting back.
Abbotsford Police were called to a business in the 30100-block of Automall Drive at 3:45 p.m. on November 2 when a man in his 30's showed up with a severe injury to his neck.
Abbotsford Police said: "Medical resources were deployed to assist the man and APD members began investigating and gathering evidence. Tragically, the wounded man succumbed to his injuries a short time after arriving at hospital. The investigation is now being transitioned to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT)."
On Friday, police identified the victim as 31-year-old Matthew Gordon Campbell of Abbotsford.
"Campbell was known to police for his history relating to gang activity and indications at this point in the investigation suggest this was not a random incident. IHIT investigators have taken conduct of the investigation," said IHIT Sgt. Adam MacIntosh.
He added: "IHIT investigators are working closely with the Abbotsford Police Department, investigators with the CFSEU-BC and the BC Provincial Intelligence Centre (PIC) who have provided information to assist this investigation."
According to Vancouver Sun's Kim Bolan, who was the first to reveal the victim's name, Campbell reportedly took over the Red Scorpions' leadership after the murders or arrests of a number of key members such as the Bacon brothers Jonathan, Jarrod and Jamie.
Bolan reported that Campbell was convicted of conspiring to traffic firearms in 2007 and received a two-year sentence. Police seized more than 100 guns, including military assault rifles, sub machine guns and fully automatic handguns.
It's been the Duhres, Dhaks and United Nations members versus Hells Angels, the Red Scorpions and the Independent Soldiers for a number of years.
Police had warned of escalating gang violence following the August 14, 2011 death of Red Scorpion leader Jonathan Bacon. Bacon, Larry Amero, a full-patch Hells Angels member from White Rock, and James Riach of the Independent Soldiers along with two women, one of whom is related to several Hells Angels members in Haney, were attacked in Kelowna. While Bacon was killed, Amero and the two women sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Riach, who was also injured, fled the scene.
Dhak associate Jujhar Khun-Khun, 25, of Surrey, Michael Kerry Hunter Jones, 25, of Gibsons, and Jason Thomas McBride, 37, of North Vancouver were arrested on February 22, 2013, and charged with the first degree murder of Jonathan Bacon as well as four counts each of attempted murder. Manjinder "Manny" Hairan, 29, who was shot dead on January 15, 2013, in Surrey, is believed to have also been involved in the Kelowna shooting.

← Faces of the Doctor: Peter Capaldi – the quixotic, unknowable anti-authority figure?
Films are all too easily lost forever but it's nice to enjoy any fragments which remain.
Any chance of some links?
I did speak to Sinclair on Facebook, he was willing to chat to a point. I think he's got mixed feelings about it. This was a huge part of his life as a teenager for two years, and after all that work, it flopped. And it was over thirty-five years ago. I had the sense that he was at once pleased and embarrassed that someone had taken an interest in it.
I've kept digging. At this point, it appears that at possibly two, perhaps more, VHS copies exist of the film, in the possession of some of the people who were involved with it. So it's not perhaps, quite lost.
From what I've been able to gather, it appears to have been screened privately, so someone could videotape it on a VHS camcorder. The description is 'low quality.' If the VHS camcorder was mounted on a tripod or other fixed surface, you might have gotten as good a copy as possible – but you'd probably have a fairly stark image – super 8 onto VHS videotape? Ouch. And the VHS camera would have probably picked up the sound of the super8 projector. If the Camcorder didn't have a fixed mount, then it would be pretty wobbly.
I'm going to see if I can try and obtain a copy. I dearly want to see this, and I think I'm in a unique situation to understand and forgive its technical problems.
Absolutely wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing that. I would have been 17 when that was made, and I can relate entirely to the commitment that led to its realization.
As @wolfweed said, it would be great to know more, but what you have provided us with is great in itself. Many thanks.


All children are curious about the world and want to learn!
Children learn by having experiences with each other with materials and the environment.
When school is integrated with the rest of the child's life, it makes sense and becomes meaningful.
Children are capable of contributing to the group, learning cooperatively and being peaceful productive members of the both a democratic classroom and the larger school community.
Children engage in learning and demonstrate what they learn in many ways.
With the deep belief in the remarkable capabilities of each child we build on their strengths whether they are academic, artistic, physical or social.
We provide a safe and motivating environment for them to try new experiences to build on their strengths and to go further in the areas where they need improvement.
We provide a place where their natural capacity for discovery is stimulated and their innate and natural curiosities are focused into a context for learning about themselves and their world.
We encourage them to make connections, explore their interests, make good choices and be self confident about their abilities through the curriculum.
Children are provided the opportunity to integrate a wide range of skills and subject matter though a core curriculum. In this way, children study the history, natural and physical environment, geography, culture and people of a particular location and time to learn and think critically about themselves and others.
A typical first/second grade curriculum might focus on services in the neighborhood (fire station, police department, post office, etc.) or the buildings of New York City. Within the study there are field trips, rich literature, writing experiences, math activities and extensions and enrichment in the arts.
Our entire curriculum has a strong emphasis on developing research skills, critical thinking, problem solving, communication and socialization. As children grow and move on to the upper grades they go from studies of their immediate environments to the larger city and its history as well as other geographic areas and their histories.
We look at the children and measure their growth and development on an individual continuum. Regular curriculum letters, Principal's weekly letters, individualized progress reports, portfolios and family conferences provide avenues of communication between school and families. Teachers use techniques of assessment such as anecdotal notes, running records and writing and math samples to analyze individual student's progress and make decisions about class instruction.
As facilitators, we help the children come up with solutions and solve problems. Conflict resolution provides techniques for teaching children how to be peaceful members of a multicultural, non-sexist learning community.
School wide policies and practices are formed collaboratively and dynamically to provide a cohesive, unified, thoughtful environment for children. We are self-reflective and reevaluate our policies periodically in an effort to meet the needs of our children and ever evolving community.

Posted by ned
The Heaven can wait campaign has been updated to v8 and is on the Test Server. There's no changelog but user feedback suggests bug and texture fixes.
edit: After playing v8 I've uploaded it to the Main server. It could do with some polishing but it's current version is very playable. It's a tuff one too! I like the way they didn't give us too many direction hints which forces exploration..

[L4D] new campaign on test server
Thursday, 13 May, 2010, 12:58 - Left 4 Dead
I've added a campaign by MapEater called RoadToNowhere. It's at a beta stage so it's buggy but it's still worth a game. There are also a few graphics and fps issues and I think the finale is too easy but I'm hoping at least most of the negatives will get sorted out with future releases.
It's great to play a campaign that doesn't 'feel' similar to the originals!
I'll add this one to the main server pending updates.
[L4D] new additions to servers!
Sunday, 2 May, 2010, 10:56 - Left 4 Dead
I've added two more campaigns to both servers.
• Dark Blood v1.9 Beta is set on a tankership and offers both co-op and versus. It's still in beta stage so there may be a few updates coming. As it is now it plays very well.
-thanks to TOG Unknown for letting me know about this one-
• Suicide Blitz v3.0 is another map that plays well and doesn't have any "samey" feel to it like many custom campaigns do. The author, R.T. Frisk, is still active with this project having recently fixed a major AI issue that prevented me from wanting to upload this to the main server. It's on there now, fixed and ready to play!
[COD:B-OPS] new Call of Duty: Black Ops due NOV 2010

For me, the Call of Duty series peaked at United Offensive. I will however be following the news on this one. The release time is simialr to the new Medal of Honor and I have an interest in both due to past games. It'll be interesting to see how the developers try to make their respective titles stand-out from each other. Time will tell all.

[MOH] thoughts and info on Medal of Honor 2010
Saturday, 1 May, 2010, 00:43 - Medal of Honor
The up-coming Medal of Honor is utising two game engines. Unreal Engine 3 for singleplayer and Frostbite engine for multiplayer. I don't know of a game that's done that before. I love both engines so I'm keen to see how this plays in both singleplayer and multiplayer. I really enjoyed the singleplayer element of Battlefied: Bad Company 2 and would have liked the news of this new Medal of Honor using the same Frostbite engine for its singleplayer. Apparently the Unreal Engine 3 will be heavily modified so some surprises may be on the way. Either way I'm confident it'll be a winning game for many. But who will like the singleplay and multiplay?
Even though DICE have stated people shouldn't expect a clone of Bad Company 2 for Medal of Honor's multiplayer it doesn't look like good news for me with Battlefield: Bad Company 2 players getting awarded in Medal of Honor with early access to the M24 sniper rifle so it looks like the MP aspect of this games will use a similar stat-unlock-award system to the Battlefield series which I've never liked. Why penalise newbies??

DAM CONCERNED: My work on Dam Safety and flooding in the Schoharie River is done though the Dam Concerned Citizens, Inc.
GET OUT THERE: We teach a number of Field courses at Union College which allow students to see and study rocks and sediment in natural settings.
MINITERM: Living on the Edge is a Union College Miniterm aimed at exposing students to geologic hazards and the way society mitigates them. A PDF of a Union College Magazine article about this experience is here (3.1 Mb).
My research is focused on low-temperature thermochronology and Cordilleran tectonics, flood hazards and watershed analysis, and the sediment record of environmental change. Much of my work with detrital zircon is aimed at a better understanding of radiation damage and how this affects geochronology.
My teaching is based on active learning in a research-like environment. I teach courses in Natural Disasters, Sedimentation and Stratgraphy, Tectonics, and Structural Geology. I am a Fellow and active member of the Geological Society of America.
The Keck Geology is a multi-college collaboration focused on enriching undergraduate education through development of high-quality research experiences in the Geosciences. The Consortium has been a fundamental component of the undergraduate-research landscape since inaugural projects in 1987. Here at Union we are proud to be part of the Consortium and we are actively involved in running projects and mentoring students. The Keck Consortium and the research project that we run has been named one of seven "Programs that Work" by Project Kaleidoscope. In 2007 I co-led a project called Rocks and Rain in the Swiss Alps.
This multi-year project is focused on understanding the tectonic evolution of the Chugach-Prince William terrane in south central Alaska. This overall effort has been co-funded by the Keck Consortium and by the National Science Foundation. The focus of our effort is on the very thick rocks of the CPW terrane that were intruded by near trench plutons and then translated some controversial distance along the North American margin in the early Tertiary. I am co-leading a project with Cam Davison of Carleton College. Details of the our multi-year effort in southern Alaska is at this web page.
I find teaching fascinating and I enjoy getting students excited about science. I teach a number of field-intensive courses where students make observations, collect data, and then interpret those data in a meaningful way. I teach Sedimentology and stratigraphy, Structural geology, Earth and life through time, and Geologic Hazards. Most course information is posted internally (Moodle). On an irregular basis I teach Carbonate Sedimentology,and Living on the Edge and other FIELD Programs. I have several videos that illustrate Geologic Processes (at YouTube), including analog models for the development of orogenic wedges that are made in our sandbox.

The Storr Rock Hoard is a collection of silver coins dating from the 10th century with some originating from central Asia, found on the Isle of Skye in northern Scotland. A number of the coins have been identified as dirhams, originating from the Middle East. They have Islamic script, and are a rare find in the area, and are evidence of the extensive trade routes that were in use during the time of their origin.

Discovery
In January 1891, after receiving two silver coins from the Queen's Remembrancer, Joseph Anderson, who was the keeper of the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland at the time, ordered a deeper investigation of the site where the coins were first found. The search was successful, uncovering an additional 110 coins as well as 23 pieces of hacksilver. The mint of the coins and their conditions lead researchers to believe that the hoard was deposited around 950 AD.

Silver Dirhams
Of the 110 coins found, 19 have been identified as dirhams. They can be dated to 282-332 AH (anno Hegirae in the Islamic calendar), around 895-942 AD by the Christian calendar. They were minted by the Samanid dynasty, which was located in modern-day Uzbekistan. They are all uniformly the same shape, and are printed with verses from the Quran, a mint statement and attribution. These coins were rare in the area, and were most likely traded for luxury goods from Northern Europe that would have been impossible to obtain if not for the extensive trade routes at the time.

Modern History
Two of the coins were initially found by a Skye inhabitant in 1890. They were passed to the Crown Office  and from there to the National Museum for comment. Recognising their importance, the Museum initiated a further search, which recovered the rest of the hoard as we know it. This was allocated to the Museum via the Treasure Trove system. One coin was refashioned by the landowner into a brooch and subsequently lost. The hoard is currently on display at the National Museum of Scotland Early Peoples Gallery.

New Jersey forward Taylor Hall has won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player.
Hall beat out Los Angeles captain Anze Kopitar and Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon in a contest between three first-time finalists for the award.
Hall finished sixth in the league with 93 points for the Devils. He is the first New Jersey player to win the Hart.
Hall, the No. 1 pick in the 2010 draft, likely got the nod over two worthy contenders because of the way he carried the Devils offensively while they reached the playoffs for the first time in five years. He scored 41 more points than rookie Nico Hischier, the Devils' second-leading scorer.
George McPhee has been named the NHL's general manager of the year in the fourth trophy given to the Vegas Golden Knights at the NHL Awards.
Exactly one year after his remarkable performance in the expansion draft, McPhee was a no-brainer choice for the award after his masterful assembly of the most successful debut team in recent sports history.
The Golden Knights went 51-24-7 and won the Pacific Division before reaching the Stanley Cup Final, setting innumerable records along the way for first-year success.
McPhee beat out Winnipeg's Kevin Cheveldayoff and Tampa Bay's Steve Yzerman for the award.
McPhee joins coach Gerard Gallant, Lady Byng winner William Karlsson and Mark Messier Leadership Award winner Deryk Engelland with trophies from the annual show in the Golden Knights' hometown.
Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne has won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goalie.
The 35-year-old Finn won his position's top honor for the first time, beating out Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck and Tampa Bay's Andrei Vasilevskiy.
Rinne was a Vezina finalist for the fourth time. He finally got it after a standout regular season for the Presidents' Trophy winners in Nashville, where he has been a stalwart in goal since 2008.
Rinne went 42-13-4 with eight shutouts, a 2.31 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage for the Predators. He also earned his 300th career victory on Feb. 22.
Rinne struggled along with his teammates in the postseason, but voters didn't hold it against him.
Gerard Gallant of the Vegas Golden Knights has won the Jack Adams Trophy as the NHL's top coach.
Gallant was an obvious choice over Colorado's Jared Bednar and Boston's Bruce Cassidy after he masterminded the most spectacular expansion season in recent sports history. The Golden Knights went 51-24-7 and handily won the Pacific Division before winning 13 postseason games and reaching the Stanley Cup Final in their first playoff campaign.
The 54-year-old Gallant was named the Golden Knights' first coach in April 2017, and the veteran NHL coach provided steady leadership while turning Vegas' expansion roster into a cohesive, motivated team. Gallant's players praised his steady, intelligent approach to the postseason, which ended in a five-game loss to the Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals.
Gallant previously coached in Columbus and Florida, but his teams had never won a playoff round before Vegas' remarkable run.
Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar has won the Selke Trophy as the NHL's top defensive forward.
Kopitar won the trophy for the second time in three years, beating out perennial candidate and four-time winner Patrice Bergeron of Boston, along with Philadelphia's Sean Couturier.
Kopitar led all NHL forwards in ice time during another standout season for the Kings, who were the NHL's top statistical defensive team. The Slovenian star played extensively on the penalty kill and took 1,816 faceoffs.
Kopitar was a finalist for the Selke for the fourth time in five seasons. Bergeron has been a finalist in seven straight seasons, passing Pavel Datsyuk's NHL record.
Kopitar is also a finalist for the Hart Trophy as the NHL's MVP.
New Jersey's Brian Boyle has won the Masterton Trophy for perseverance and dedication to hockey.
The other finalists were Florida's Roberto Luongo and Carolina's Jordan Staal.
The 33-year-old Boyle was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia during training camp, but he made it back into the Devils' lineup in November and eventually represented New Jersey at the All-Star game after teammate Taylor Hall couldn't go because of injury.
Boyle put together an outstanding season even while his 2-year-old son, Declan, also had significant health problems.
Vegas Golden Knights forward William Karlsson has won the Lady Byng Trophy as the player best combining sportsmanship and ability.
After Columbus made a deal with Vegas to take Karlsson off its hands in the expansion draft, the talented Swede had a breakthrough season for the expansion Golden Knights, racking up 43 goals and 35 assists with only 12 penalty minutes. Karlsson had never scored more than 25 points in any of his three previous NHL seasons with Anaheim and the Blue Jackets.
"Who would have thought?" Karlsson said with a smile after picking up his award.
Karlsson's trophy is the first individual player honor earned by the Golden Knights. Coach Gerard Gallant, general manager George McPhee and defenseman Deryk Engelland are also up for awards later in the ceremony in the Knights' hometown.
New York Islanders center Mathew Barzal has won the Calder Trophy as the NHL's best rookie, beating out Vancouver's Brock Boeser and Arizona's Clayton Keller.
The 21-year-old Barzal became an immediate star while scoring 85 points in 82 games for the Islanders in his first full NHL season. The 16th overall pick in the 2015 draft scored 20 points more than any other rookie, racking up 22 goals and 63 assists while centering the Islanders' second line and providing a formidable one-two punch behind star John Tavares.
Among his many superlatives, Barzal became the first rookie in NHL history to post at least three five-point games since Montreal's Joe Malone did it way back in 1917-18 — the NHL's inaugural season.
Barzal is the Isles' fifth winner of the Calder Trophy, joining a trio of Hall of Famers — Denis Potvin (1974), Bryan Trottier (1976), Mike Bossy (1978) — and Bryan Berard (1997).
Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin won his seventh Richard Trophy as the NHL's top goal-scorer, and Los Angeles' Jonathan Quick won the Jennings Trophy for the second time as the goalie for the team allowing the NHL's fewest goals.
Edmonton forward Connor McDavid is not a Hart Trophy finalist after winning the award last season as the NHL's most valuable player, but he already won his second consecutive Art Ross Trophy as the league's scoring champion. McDavid also got the Ted Lindsay Award as the NHL's most outstanding player chosen by the players' union members.
Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman has won his first Norris Trophy as the NHL's top defenseman.
The imposing Swede beat out finalists P.K. Subban of Nashville and Los Angeles defenseman Drew Doughty, who won it last season. Hedman got 94 first-place votes to 52 for Doughty.
Hedman scored 17 goals and racked up a plus-32 rating in another dominant season for the Lightning. While his 63 points were down from last season, he set a career high while playing nearly 26 minutes per game.
Connor McDavid has won the Ted Lindsay Award as the NHL players union's choice as the league's most outstanding player.
The Edmonton Oilers superstar beat out Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon and New Jersey's Taylor Hall for the first award of the night at the NHL's annual postseason gala award show in Las Vegas.
McDavid won the award for the second straight year. He also won the Hart Trophy in 2017 as the NHL's most valuable player — but he isn't a finalist for the Hart this season, with Los Angeles captain Anze Kopitar taking the third spot alongside MacKinnon and Hall as the finalists.
The 21-year-old McDavid led the NHL in scoring for his second consecutive season, earning the Art Ross Trophy with 108 points.
The NHL is handing out its postseason awards in its annual gala show from the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
The show will close with the awarding of the Hart Trophy for the NHL's most valuable player. The finalists in the wide-open race are Los Angeles captain Anze Kopitar, New Jersey forward Taylor Hall and Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon.

Waiting to see if GetHuman-speman got the right customer help using our suggestion.
Earlier this morning I had gotten an email from a friend of mine of her giving me a $*.** give towards my first order that I make through you guys. The problem that I ran into is that before claiming the gift I had installed onto my iPhone the app & had set up an account with you guys through the app. So because of that when I claimed the gift it wouldn't let me get it ( because they wanted me to set up an account with them through the email ). Because of that How do I obtain that $*.** gift?
GetHuman-speman did not yet indicate what DoorDash should do to make this right.

The initiative is intended to increase the platforms' transparency and accountability.
Earlier today, New York's Attorney General began an official inquiry into the cryptic business practices of companies that make up the digital marketplace for cryptocurrencies. Understanding how these marketplaces actually operate could push officials to actually regulate cryptocurrency in a way that benefits unwitting investors.
The AG's inquiry, dubbed the Virtual Markets Integrity Initiative, marks regulators' second serious attempt to understand the cryptocurrency platforms (the first one was last month when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) subpoenaed unregulated Initial Coin Offerings from an unknown number of crypto startups).
"With cryptocurrency on the rise, consumers in New York and across the country have a right to transparency and accountability when they invest their money. Yet too often, consumers don't have the basic facts they need to assess the fairness, integrity, and security of these trading platforms," said Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in a press release published today by his office.
But on a subtler level, the inquiry confirms what we all pretty much already knew: the crypto world is rife with pyramid schemes and other scams (there's literally one called PonziCoin), no matter how much that cryptobro you know insists that his new coin is, like, going to replace all money as we know it. These hucksters and snake oil salesmen are out to gouge money from consumers who heard the word blockchain once and wonder what all the fuss is about. Regulation, as odious as it may seem to that bro, would protect the average person who might not have the expertise to parse out the good investments from the shams.
The AG contacted 13 cryptocurrency platforms and asked them to fill out a questionnaire about their internal operations and business practices. Of those companies, Coinbase is the most notable (the others are: Gemini Trust Company, bitFlyer USA, IFinex, Bitstamp USA, Payward, Bittrex, Circle Internet Financial Limited, Binance Limited, Elite Way Diveleopments, Gate Technology Incorporated, itBit Trust Company, and Huobi Global Limited).
The questionnaire that these companies have been asked to return focuses on five key topics, including basic questions about who owns the company, how they operate and charge users, trading policies, trading suspensions, internal controls, and concerns over privacy and money laundering. The Attorney General noted in the press release that some of the findings will be published and made accessible to the public (should these companies comply).
The AG expects companies to respond by the end of April. So for now all we can do is comfort our cryptobro friend, and await some much-needed transparency.

India Open 2022: Saina Nehwal bows out after losing second-round match
New Delhi [India], January 13 (ANI): India shuttler Saina Nehwal on Thursday bowed out of the ongoing Indian Open 2022 here at the KD Jadhav Indoor Hall in New Delhi.
Malvika Bansod defeated Nehwal 21-17, 21-9 in the second-round match which lasted for 35 minutes.
The 31-year-old Nehwal was trailing 5-7 in the first game, and Malvika was in no mood to let this advantage and she ended up winning the first game 21-17.
Bansod then did not look back, and she continued with her momentum, winning the match inside 35 minutes.
Earlier in the day, PV Sindhu progressed to the next round of the ongoing competition. In an all-Indian affair, Sindhu outclassed Ira Sharma 21-10, 21-10 to progress to the next round.
Sindhu was at her dominant self in the first game and she wrapped up the game inside 13 minutes. Continuing from where she left off, the 26-year-old took full advantage of her momentum and ended up winning the match within 30 minutes.
Earlier, Badminton World Federation (BWF) on Thursday confirmed that seven players have been withdrawn from the ongoing India Open 2022 after testing positive for COVID-19.
"The players returned a positive result to a mandatory RT-PCR test conducted on Tuesday. Doubles partners deemed close contact of the seven players have also been withdrawn from the tournament," BWF said in a statement.
The seven players to test positive for COVID-19 were all Indians and they were -- Kidambi Srikanth, Ashwini Ponnappa, Ritika Rahul Thakar, Treesa Jolly, Mithun Manjunath, Simran Aman Singhi, and Khushi Gupta. (ANI)
