Nightfall 01-Oct-2015
by Jake Halpern, Peter Kujawinski
After fourteen years of Day, comes fourteen years of Night. Don't get left behind.
On Marin's island, sunrise doesn't come every twenty-four hours - it comes every twenty-eight years. Now the sun is just a sliver of light on the horizon. The weather is turning cold. The shadows are growing long. The dark is rising. And soon it will be Night.
The eerie Evening sunset is causing the tide to begin its slow roll out hundreds of miles, and so Marin, along with her twin brother Kana and the rest of the islanders, must frantically begin preparations to sail south, where they will wait out the long Night.
But first the house must be made ready for their departure. Locks must be taken off doors. Furniture must be arranged just so. Tables must be set as if for dinner. The rituals are bizarre - unnerving, even - but none of the adults will discuss why things must be this way. And then just as the ships are about to sail, the twins' friend Line goes missing. Marin and Kana know where he has gone, and that the only way to rescue him is to do it themselves. And surely the ships will wait?
Because Night is falling. Their island is changing. And something is stirring in the dark.

Edgeland 18-May-2017
The companion novel to the New York Times bestselling NIGHTFALL
Thousands of miles due south from the Polar North is is the island of Edgeland. Here, day and night last for 72 hours. And here is one of the natural wonders of this world: a whirlpool thirty miles wide and a hundred miles around. This is the Drain. Anything sucked into its frothing, turbulent waters is never seen again.
Wren has spent most of her life on Edgeland, watching people bring their dead to the island's famous bone houses to be blessed and prepared for the afterlife. There the dead are loaded into boats with treasure and sent over the cliff, and into the Drain. Orphaned and alone, Wren dreams of escaping Edgeland, and her chance finally comes when furriers from the Polar north arrive with their dead, and treasure for their dead.
With the help of her friend Alec, Wren plans to loot one of the boats before it enters the Drain. But the boat - with Alec and Wren onboard - is sucked into the whirlpool. What they discover over the abyss is beyond what either of them could have imagined.

World's End (Dormia Book 2) 15-Nov-2010
by Jake Halpern
Ever since returning from Dormia, Alfonso has enjoyed sleeping in a bed like a
normal person. No more waking up at the top of a tree or the edge of a cliff. In fact,
no sleepwalking at all. But then, while visiting France on a class trip, Alfonso feels that strange and
familiar pull of sleep. Upon waking, he finds himself in the belly of a ship headed
to Egypt. In his backpack are a few old books and a vial of medicine he stole while
asleep. Something is calling Alfonso back to Dormia. Perhaps it's the Founding Tree? Or
perhaps it's the man he sees in his dreams—the one who looks just like his deceased
father? Whatever it is, Alfonso is powerless to resist.
Storytellers Jake Halpern and Peter Kujawinski take Alfonso on another fantastical
quest to Dormia—and beyond—to a vast underground world that holds the answer
to a terrifying message: Let me tell you of a dark shadow tree and the world's end.
Dormia 24-May-2010
Introducing Alfonso Perplexon, hero of the epic fantasy tale Dormia!
Alfonso Perplexon is an unusual sleeper. He climbs trees, raises falcons, even shoots deadly accurate arrows, all in his sleep. No one can figure out why.
Then one evening a man arrives at Alfonso's door, claiming to be Alfonso's long-lost uncle Hill. This uncle tells a fantastical tale: Alfonso's ancestors hail from Dormia—an ancient kingdom of gifted sleepers—which is hidden in the snowy peaks of the Ural Mountains. According to Hill, Dormia exists thanks to a tree known as the Founding Tree, with roots that pump life into the frozen valley. But the Founding Tree is now dying, and in a matter of days, Dormia faces an icy apocalypse.
Dormia's salvation lies with the Great Sleeper, who possesses the special powers to enter a sleep trance and grow a new Founding Tree. Hill suspects that Alfonso is just such a person. In fact, Alfonso's sleeping-self has already hatched this tree. Now the question is: Can Alfonso and his uncle deliver it in time? They must hurry, but they also must be careful not to be followed by Dormia's age-old enemy, the Dragoonya, who are always hunting for one of the secret entryways into Dormia.
Alfonso agrees to take the tree to Dormia, and thus begins one of the greatest adventures a twelve-year-old boy could ever wish for.
As he woke up from a late afternoon nap, Alfonso blinked open his eyes and discovered that he was perched at the top of a gigantic pine tree – some two-hundred feet above the ground. The view was spectacular. Alfonso could see for miles in every direction and he could even make out his house in the distant hamlet of World's End, Minnesota. Unfortunately, there was no time to enjoy the view. The small branch that Alfonso stood upon was covered with gleaming snow and creaked dangerously under the pressure of his weight. Icy gusts of wind shook the entire treetop. Alfonso looked down grimly at the ground far below. If he fell, he would most certainly die.
"Oh brother," muttered Alfonso to himself. "Not again."

Set your mind free.
"I know, I know, that you're going with another guy
Don't care, don't care, 'cause I love you baby that's no lie
I love you even more than I did when you were mine"
- "When You Were Mine"
Dirty Mind, released in 1980, is the third album by American musician Prince.
Shifting away from the straightforward funk and disco sounds of his first two records, this album marks a shift to a funk-driven New Wave Music sound that would serve as the basis for his proceeding output throughout the remainder of the decade. The album also sees the first vestiges of his later backing band the Revolution form, with Dez Dickerson, Andre Cymone, Bobby Z, Gayle Chapman, and Matt Fink serving as backing musicians on this album; while Chapman and Cymone would leave shortly after this album, the remaining musicians would end up becoming principal members of the Revolution throughout its brief lifetime and constantly rotating lineup.
Most significantly, the album marks Prince's first dive into the raunchy, sexually-driven lyricism that would become a hallmark of his work, covering taboo topics such as oral sex, group sex, ejaculation, and Brother–Sister Incest. This shift would wind up setting a precedent that would result in sexually explicit lyrics becoming more mainstream in popular music, though at the cost of generating enough controversy to generate a Congressional hearing about the subject, spurned on by Prince's own "Darling Nikki" in 1984. The album's commercial performance was modest, peaking at only No. 56 on the Billboard 200, though it would eventually be certified gold in the US.
Dirty Mind was supported by three singles: "Uptown", "Dirty Mind", and "Do It All Night".
"Dirty Mind" (4:14)
"When You Were Mine" (3:47)
"Do It All Night" (3:42)
"Gotta Broken Heart Again" (2:16)
"Uptown" (5:32)
"Head" (4:44)
"Sister" (1:31)
"Partyup" (4:24)
"I trope you even more than I did when you were mine"
Brother–Sister Incest: "Sister", which is, mercifully, the shortest song on the album.
Face on the Cover: A black and white shot of Prince in an overcoat, ascot, and thong against a backdrop of stage lights.
Franchise Codifier: After the Early-Installment Weirdness of For You and Prince, which were straight disco records, Dirty Mind sees Prince adopt his signature mix of funk and New Wave Music as well as his penchant for sexually explicit lyricism.
Intercourse with You: The album's central concept, with nearly every track being about sex and sexual relations.
Miniscule Rocking: "Sister" clocks in at only a minute and a half.
New Sound Album: Mixes up Funk and New Wave.
A Threesome Is Hot: "When You Were Mine"
"I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Lying between the two of us"
Unusual Euphemism: "Party in Uptown"

A: The question you're actually asking is "how can I trick Google's security features?" Google displays extra information about the sender if it doesn't completely trust that you are who you say you are. This is because you can claim to be anyone you want in an email, and this can trick unsuspecting users into giving up personal information to a third party by making them believe they are someone they are not.
You are seeing this "via domain.tld" addition to your emails because you are sending an email from one domain, but claiming it came from a separate domain. This makes Google very suspicious, since they see it as misrepresenting who you are.
There is more information in this page, but the short answer is that you either have to send mail from the domain you're claiming to be sending it from, or you have to prove to Google that you're authorized to send email from that domain.

Eldorado not done dealing, touts its regional footprint as an attractive sports betting partner
Howard Stutz, CDC Gaming Reports · August 2, 2018 at 5:51 pm
Eldorado Resorts, one of the casino industry's most active companies on the acquisition front in the past few years, told the market Thursday it wasn't done buying.
On a conference call with analysts to discuss second quarter results, executives from the Reno-based company said the still have appetite for deals. Eldorado has several large and small asset transactions working their way through the system – including a $1.85 billion acquisition of Tropicana Entertainment in partnership with real estate investment trust Gaming and Leisure Properties.
However, based on "what's actively being shopped," Eldorado CEO Gary Carano said the company wouldn't be buyers. "But we're poised to take advantage."
One deal – Eldorado's $327.5 million acquisition of Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin, Ill., from MGM Resorts International – was approved Thursday by the Illinois Gaming Board. The company expects the deal to close in third quarter.
Eldorado is acquiring the operating assets of seven Tropicana-owned casinos in six states from corporate raider Carl Icahn. The properties include the Tropicana Atlantic City; two casinos in Nevada – Tropicana Laughlin and MontBleu Resort in South Lake Tahoe; Tropicana Evansville in Indiana; Belle of Baton Rouge in Louisiana; Trop Casino Greenville in Mississippi; and Lumière Place in St. Louis. The deal is expected to close by the end of the year.
Adding in the 10 states where Eldorado already operates 20 properties, CFO Thomas Reeg said the company becomes "a very attractive partner" considering the growth of sports wagering.
"What we present to a potential partner is a map a most of the U.S.," Reeg said.
Eldorado, which has operated sports books in Reno, expects to be operating at its regional properties "where we can by football season."
Reeg was bullish on sports betting, especially in Atlantic City. He said the activity has been "under-estimated" by the regional markets. Sports betting customers do more than just bet on games and a casino doesn't need to offer incentives to get them through the door.
"This group of customers come in because there is something on TV," Reeg said. "This is the kind of customer who shows up to bet, drink, visit your restaurants, plays a bit in the casino and stays in your hotel. The regional markets will really benefit."
During the second quarter that ended June 30, Eldorado's net revenue was $456.8 million, 21 percent higher than the same quarter a year ago. The company's net income of $36.8 million, or 47 cents per share, reversed a net loss from the same quarter of 2017.
Eldorado rebranded its three interconnected flagship Reno casinos – Eldorado, Silver Legacy and Circus Circus – as "The Row," which covers six city blocks.
"'The Row' leverages our integrated design and property enhancements and amplifies the convenience, amenities, entertainment and quality (of the three resorts)," Carano said in a statement.
Eldorado is planning a renovation of 400 rooms at the Silver Legacy and will open its Brew Brothers microbrewery restaurant at casinos in Iowa and Missouri. Also, Eldorado will begin a room renovation project to all 402 rooms at the company's Colorado properties that is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019.
Shares of Eldorado, traded on the Nasdaq, closed at $41.40 on Thursday, down 5 cents or 0.12 percent.

1) "Newport Newbies" session for those new to 250m indoor riding. This would be an ideal progression from recent sessions at Calshot and gives time to gain confidence on a 250m indoor track before deciding whether to enter the Newport round of our region's omnium series this year.
2) "Pursuit improvers" session for those already confident with riding indoors and looking to improve their pursuit technique in the indoor 250m environment. This will *probably* be team-pursuit based, but may include work on starts, acceleration and keeping to the black line.
Please note there is a minimum age of 10 (on the day) at Newport. Any rider wishing to take part must already be able to ride fixed wheel, and ideally should have experience of riding at Calshot. If in doubt, ask a coach!
It's possible that some riders may overlap between these 2 groups: please indicate which session(s) you plan to join, although this will need to be confirmed by the coaches nearer the date.
Please label the transaction "NNNN NEWPFEB" replacing NNNN is your surname. If you're paying for more than 1 rider, please group these into 1 transaction.
If for any reason it is not possible to allocate you a place, this payment will be refunded. Once places are confirmed however, no-shows will still be charged unless you can arrange for someone to take your place.

Today's expression is an important one... Sometimes people make us REALLY mad. They lie, they cheat, they don't do their job...there are MANY ways people can make us mad! BUT...how do we respond? That's the tough part. Today's expression offers ONE WAY to respond! Enjoy the podcast--it's a little long (sorry!) and have a FANTASTIC day!
Bob made me so mad. He tried to embarrass me.
I know. Forget about it.
No way. I'm gonna embarrass him in front of EVERYONE.
Hey~ Take the high road. Forget about it.
Sometimes we are JUST in a bad mood. We are not happy for...NO reason~ And because of that, we are sometimes not very nice. We are rude or we yell or we complain... By why?
Being around a person when they feel like that is NOT fun. Sometimes moms can feel that way, bosses, kids, friends... How can we describe such a person? I'll teach you today!
BE HAPPY...the weekend is almost here! And join DDM VIP!
You want to have salmon?
It's WEDNESDAY...the middle of the week for most of us~ I've got a busy day--my busy days start on Wednesdays and end on Saturdays. I'm not too excited about today! However, at 1pm I have a LIVE class with my ActionEnglish students--that's good; and at 3pm I have LME LIVE on FB and YT--that's good, too.

Jack? Long time no see!
At least! Let's grab a beer and touch base!
Over the years...for most people, we start many new relationships. New friends, new coworkers, new neighbors. And the old friends and coworkers and neighbors...they start to disappear from our lives~ For me that has happened--what about you?
We have a great expression that you can use which tells people that you USED TO BE close, but not anymore. But you are NOT enemies, either!! Right?!

Are you jealous...or are you envious? Hmm...do you know the difference? Even Americans get confused about how to explain the difference, but Coach Shane is a special American and he'll help you understand!! Jealousy and envy are quite similar, but jealousy includes an extra meaning that envy does NOT! And that difference will be EASY to understand if you listen to today's podcast!!
You're so smart. I'm jealous.
It's the MIDDLE of the week...a tough time for a lot of people. But hey, we know the expression: WORK HARD, PLAY HARD, right? I believe in that. When I work--boom, I work. I focus. I get stuff done. And when work is finished--I COMPLETELY do NOT work! I do MY thing! That is my definition of "work hard, play hard". Today's expression is perfect for when you "work hard"! Master the expression and USE IT!
What makes DDM a good class?
It's a no-nonsense English class. It's straight to work.
It's the USA's birthday! I'm very proud--my family took part in the Revolutionary War that began 241 years ago! Today we celebrate with delicious food and fireworks!! But...why not study a little English, too?! Today I have three expressions that mean the same thing--one of them is "really American" and one of them is "really proper"!
Enjoy the lesson, enjoy the day!

Shareef Dajani, who was publisher of the Palo Alto Daily News in 2006, has a new job at Yahoo as a "partner reseller manager," according to his LinkedIn profile.
During his 12 months at the Daily News, he is perhaps best known as the executive who fired editor Diana Diamond, a long-time Palo Altan who was also a columnist. She now is associate editor of the rival Daily Post.
Dajani ran the Daily News until January 2007, and then was transferred to a job handling niche publications for the Bay Area News Group (MediaNews). A few months after his transfer, he headed to Chicago to work for a billboard company, Titan Worldwide, where he was employed for nine months.
Last February, he returned to California to work as a salesman for Southwest Offset Printing, the contractor which printed the Daily News until May 2009. At that point, the San Jose Mercury News took over the printing of the Daily News, and the paper changed sizes, first to a square tab (from May to August 2009) and then to a broadsheet.


2. Our coaching creates a supportive community where students ask graduate students and professionals questions. Our goal is to provide a means for students to engage in deep interactive conversation and ask the questions that usually go unanswered for far too long.
DeepTok's mission is to help students of all backgrounds successfully achieve their academic and professional goals. Our vision stems from the founders' personal experiences and those experiences of our friends, family, classmates, mentors, and mentees. For years we have witnessed personal background and geographical location limit access to the advice and resources many students need to achieve their goals. Success is too often impacted by who you know or where you live. DeepTok strives to shatter these boundaries and provide students the access they need to have life changing conversations with people who are 'in the know'.
