Turfway Not Willing to Go Away Without a Fight

Turfway Park | Coady
By Bill Finley
Churchill Downs may have its eye on the racing dates traditionally given to Turfway Park, but the company that still owns Turfway said in a statement Friday that it is committed to maintaining the status quo so far as dates are concerned.
Churchill announced Thursday that it would ask the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission to grant it the dates that had traditionally gone to Turfway. Rather than buy Turfway and keep it open, Churchill said it would build a new track in the Northern Kentucky area called New Latonia Racing and Gaming. The track would include Historical Horse Racing machines (HHR), which have proven to be successful at tracks throughout the state. However, Turfway has not installed any machines and many believe the reason is because it does not want to hurt business at a casino in Cincinnati owned by its parent company.
All Kentucky tracks were required to submit their application for 2020 dates to the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission Friday.
Turfway is currently owned by JACK Entertainment, but is in the process of being sold to Hard Rock International. The sale involves a package deal of the racetrack and the casino, currently called JACK Cincinnati Casino.
In a statement released Friday, Mark Dunkeson, Chief Executive Officer of JACK Entertainment, said both his company and Hard Rock remain committed to operating racing at Turfway and installing HHR at the track.
"Following a lengthy competitive bidding process with a number of local and national companies, JACK Entertainment has been in the process of selling Turfway Park to Hard Rock International, a renowned brand and leader in the gaming and entertainment industry across the globe, since early April. The track submitted its annual application for the dates that have been historically been granted to Turfway Park in July of this year," Dunkeson said. "Hard Rock has committed to regulators and Kentucky leaders to investing over $100 million into improving Turfway Park including the addition of historic racing machines, building race purses and significant enhancements to the racing business. Once these improvements are completed, Turfway will be an exceptional facility that is well positioned to carry on its rich history of thoroughbred racing while becoming an entertainment attraction for all of Northern Kentucky."
Throughout the statement, Dunkeson made it clear that Turfway has no intention of simply closing down and going away.
"We are shocked and thoroughly disappointed by Churchill Downs' recent attack on Turfway Park, which has been a significant part of the Northern Kentucky community for over 60 years," he said. "JACK Entertainment and Hard Rock International will jointly defend the long-standing race dates that have regularly been awarded to Turfway Park and contest the inappropriate actions of Churchill Downs and their attempt to disrupt the Northern Kentucky racing community.
"Churchill Downs' purported plan to relocate the 2020 winter racing dates to Louisville serves only the best interests of Churchill Downs as part of their desire to restrict competition within the Kentucky racing market for their own financial gain by interfering with the Turfway sale and blocking the Turfway enhancements without regard for the economic opportunity for Florence and Boone County or the traditional racing circuit."
If Churchill were granted the dates it would have to conduct winter racing in Louisville while waiting for the new track to be built. Dunkeson pointed out that racing over a traditional dirt track in the winter at Churchill versus the synthetic surface at Turfway could cause problems.
"In addition to being a mainstay of the Kentucky racing circuit, Turfway Park's racing surface is specifically designed to run during the winter months and provides one of the safest environments for our human and equine athletes," he said.
By law, the KHRC must award the dates for each following year by Nov. 1. No commission meeting was scheduled Friday and the next one on the docket is not until Oct. 15. At that time,
the KHRC will likely hear arguments from all sides before rendering its decision on or before Nov. 1.
Then known as Latonia, Turfway Park opened in 1959.

There's a great article over at allaboutsymbian entitled Unlocking the Mobile Phone: Why we need to go SIM-Free.
It explains why myths such as "Phones need phone network operators, that's why they have unusual pricing arrangements" is simply not true. Well worth reading!
I have so far heard only two reasons that seem to explain why Apple has chosen to lock US iPhones to AT&T: (1) the rumored revenue sharing agreement, or the (2) highly specific server-side implementation of visual voicemail. If the answer is (1), then so be it: I could just wait until iPhones come available in France. If the answer is (2), then we'll know soon enough, when someone in France tries to use one on another carrier. Or, am I missing something here?
you are missing something. you have to wait until Apple sells iPhones in France. Which won't happen soon enough.
It'll take about a year, maybe two, before Apple tells carriers: "we don't need you, you need us. Our devices are unlocked from here on out. If you want iPhone users (who use enormous amounts of billable bandwidth), you'll just say ok."
Key leverage in the music case was the iTunes Store. I would not be surpised to see Apple go in and start offering wireless service themselves, brokering a rebranded service agreement with large carriers... hrm.
hi my nephew was given an iphone from copenhagen but with no sim, and he wants 2 have it unlocked to use it here in the uk. can anyone help pls.

I received an email last week from local photographer Dana Mueller that one of her prints would be available for a limited time at the 9th annual Fraction Holiday Print Sale. I loved her photo so I clicked through to see the others and it was instantly smitten. I hadn't heard of Fraction Magazine, an online publication dedicated to fine art photography.
The prints are numbered and signed originals. If you order before this Wednesday, December 14 the site says you are likely to have it by December 24th. The sale goes through 8PM December 31st. Here are a dozen of my favorite photographs from the sale.

Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima. File Photo Xinhua.
Brazil great Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima said Wednesday that he supported a decision to play the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final between River Plate and Boca Juniors in Madrid.
The match will be played at Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium on Sunday, two weeks after it was suspended due to an attack on Boca's team bus by River Plate fans.
"It's been an emergency. What happened in Argentina was very ugly. It's not a soccer problem, it's a social problem," the 1994 and 2002 World Cup winner told journalists during a promotional event here.
"I think that playing the final at the Bernabeu is a very good solution from a sporting perspective and a logistics one - for the teams and fans."
Ronaldo said there is no favorite to win the Copa Libertadores, South America's premier club competition.
The fixture between Argentina's biggest rivals was suspended on Nov. 24 after Boca's bus was pelted with stones and bottles as it approached River's Monumental stadium in the northern districts of Buenos Aires.
Several Boca players were injured by broken glass while others - including former Argentina international forward Carlos Tevez - were affected by tear gas fired by police to disperse fans.


MONONGALIA COUNTY, W.Va. (WDTV) -- A Morgantown man is facing multiple charges after allegedly destroying his apartment, brandishing a knife, and committing assault and battery.
According to the criminal complaint, 31-year-old Christopher Dierolf allegedly did around 10 thousand dollars worth of damage to his apartment and threw a microwave at his roommate, who confronted him about it. A maintenance employee responded to the apartment, and Dierolf allegedly swung a knife at him and chased him.
Dierolf is charged with destruction of property, domestic assault, brandishing and battery.

Featuring large control buttons, the Pentax Optio E70 offers easy, accessible camera operation to every user, especially for those new to digital cameras. Though it has been designed with accessibility for everyone in mind, the Optio E70 is equipped with advanced features to produce the high-quality digital images, such as Pentax triple anti-shake protection; Auto-focus and Auto-exposure modes capable of recognising up to 32 faces in only 0.03 seconds; approximately 10 effective megapixels for high resolution pictures; and a Green Mode which gives the camera responsibility for making all the necessary technical decisions, freeing up the user to capture the ideal shot. The Optio E70 also benefits from using AA alkaline batteries, which can be replaced easily on the go. Furthermore, the camera has a flush face without any protrusion from the lens, increasing its portability and making it the ideal travel companion.

Q: How to open a HTTPS page (with self signed certificate) in Android hybrid app I'm working in an hybrid app with Cordova 3.1 in Android.
In my application I have to open a HTTPS page that is my development server configured with a self signed certificate.
If I open the URL direclty from a browser an exception appears but I can accept it.
If I open the URL from a native app I can open the page implementing the method onReceivedSslError of WebViewClient.
But in the hybrid app with javascript, using window.open() I'm not being able to handle the ssl exception.
I have tried to install the certificate in Android 2.3.3 exporting the certificate to a .cer file and installing it with Settings > Security > Install from storage and accepting the exception in the browser but it still fails.
Any help? Thank you.

A: Other way I have found is to generate a CA and create certs using that CA, then you must copy the .cer in the mobile and import the .cer generated for the CA in Android "Settings > Security > Install from storage".
openssl genrsa -out myownca.key 1024
openssl req -x509 -new -key myownca.key -out myownca.cer -days 365

This is the .cer to install in the mobile.
Then generate certs using that CA to be used by the servers
openssl genrsa -out mycert.key 1024
openssl req -new -out mycert.req -key mycert.key
openssl x509 -req -in mycert.req -out mycert.cer -CAkey myownca.key -CA myownca.cer -days 365 -CAcreateserial -CAserial serial
openssl pkcs12 -export -out mykeystore.p12 -inkey mycert.key -in mycert.cer -certfile myownca.cer

This .p12 is the one to be used to import the new cert in the servers.
For this last cert you must use a CN the hostname of the server machine.

A: Make sure
android:debuggable="true"

is present inside the AndroidManifest.xml file inside the root of your Cordova project.  I've experienced times when this is set to false, it will not accept a self signed cert.

A: I think this is more a workaround, but just in case it could help someone else:
I was not able to do it in a 2.3.3 but I could with 4.1.2
Also I had to export the certificates using a keystore (p12) and install the .p12 instead of the .cer in the mobile with "Settings > Security > Install from storage". (Maybe I was not generating the .cer correctly)
Also the CN of the certificate must be the hostname that you use to open the web page.
To test the configuration try to open the same URL you are trying to open from the app using the browser, if no exception appears, it is working.

Other substance misuse
Smoking, alcohol, drugs and other addictive behaviours
In remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, access to typical drugs of abuse can be restricted due to geographical or social policy constraints. In these unique contexts, the substances and patterns of use can differ markedly from elsewhere in Australia.
Substances including petrol and kava are used recreationally in some remote communities. Even when more common substances, such as alcohol or cannabis are used, polarised patterns of use are often observed between members of the same community. There tends to be little moderate use, with individuals either using a substance heavily, or not at all.
Substance misuse disorders often coexist with other mental disorders. In such instances, the impacts are more chronic and severe than for either disorder alone. Mental health disorders account for the second largest proportion (15%) of total disease burden for First Nations Australians. Substance use disorders account for most of the gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mental health.
Our research focus:
To minimise the impact of substance misuse and related mental health issues through the provision and development of training, resources and interventions.

The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) has claimed responsibility for two attacks, killing at least 14 people and wounding an estimated 40 others when suicide bombers and gunmen attempted to storm the headquarters of a counter-terrorism unit in the southern port city of Aden in Yemen, once considered a stronghold of its rival al-Qaeda.
"All the … terrorists were liquidated immediately before they could reach the outer gate of the anti-terrorism headquarters," the Aden police said in a statement, reports Reuters, noting that the attack took place Saturday.
"Security sources and medics said three security men, a woman, and two children died in the attack, while 40 other people, many of them civilians, were wounded," notes the news outlets.
In a statement disseminated by ISIS's Amaq news agency, the jihadist organization said it carried out two "martyrdom operations" targeting the military camp in southwestern Aden.
Months after ISIS declared the establishment of its now annihilated caliphate in Iraq and Syria, the group announced its presence in Yemen.
However, the Yemen-based al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) remains the most prominent of the two Sunni terrorist groups in the country where a Saudi Arabia-led coalition has been combating Iran-allied Shiite Houthi (or Huthi) rebels since March 2015.
In late December, the U.S. military revealed that it had "conducted multiple ground operations and more than 120 strikes in 2017" to cripple AQAP and ISIS in Yemen.
The attack was the first of its kind in southern Yemen since gun battles erupted in January between southern separatists and President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi's government over control of the city. Aden is the temporary capital of Yemen's internationally recognized Hadi government, which is now operating out of Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi-led coalition has been fighting the Houthi rebels to restore President Hadi to power.
"We assess that the Huthis will continue to pursue their goals militarily and that, as a result, US allies and interests on the Arabian Peninsula will remain at risk of Huthi missile attacks until the conflict is resolved," it adds.

Undocumented Immigrants Can Be Denied Firearms
Yesterday, the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit upheld a federal law that makes it illegal for undocumented immigrants to own firearms. The Tenth Circuit includes Utah, but the case, United States v. Huitron-Guizar, arose out of Wyoming when Emmanuel Huitron-Guizar was arrested for owning three firearms. To challenge the constitutionality of the congressional law, Mr. Huitron-Guizar relied on language in District of Columbia v. Heller, which seemed to suggest that owning a firearm is an "individual right."
The Tenth Circuit didn't say whether a permanent resident or other immigrants can be denied firearms. The Supreme Court generally allows Congress to distinguish between citizens and non-citizens or to distinguish between undocumented aliens and legal aliens. As the Tenth Circuit noted, Congress has the power under the Constitution to determine rules for citizenship and to govern immigrants who seek citizenship.
What most interests me about this case, however, is that Mr. Huitron-Guizar has lived in the United States since he was three years old. He is now 24 years old, and he has lived in Wyoming for the greater part of 21 years. Now he is waiting deportation to Mexico, where he likely does not remember living. The particular firearms he owned would not have been illegal for him to possess if he had been a citizen.

It's hard to say because I don't know exactly how little they eat, but here's my take.
The kids dining plan is $9.99/day. Kids meals are at least $3.99 each and often more - and this is only at quick service restaurants. If you go to a character meal you must pay the child's rate for all kids over 3, so at the Crystal Palace dinner, for example, that would be $12.99 each (prices as of February 08). On that meal alone you have saved by having the dining plan, yet the plan would also provide a counter service meal and a snack - all for less than the cost of that one table service meal.
So yes, it is possible for the kids to eat for less than the $9.99 per day, but is it likely? Definitely not for my family.
The biggest factor in deciding on the dining plan, in my opinion, is what type of restaurant you want to enjoy. If you plan on eating at quick service locations (fast food type meals) then you can pay cash as you go and save money. If you're like my family and you want to eat at table service locations, then the dining plan is great. Not only does it save money, but it makes budgeting very easy since you know your food costs up front.

Q: iOS AWS DynamoDB can't run a request I've been struggling with connecting to the AWS DynamoDB with my iOS app. I am frustrated with the lack of tutorials/documentation on the DynamoDB (I guess it is still fairly new). But I ahve been trying to follow Amazon's User Preference Tutorial I am trying to just connect to the database and read something or write something but I am getting an exception thrown.
AmazonCredentials *creds;
creds = [creds initWithAccessKey:MY_ACCESS_KEY withSecretKey:MY_SECRET_KEY];
AmazonDynamoDBClient *ddb = [[AmazonDynamoDBClient alloc] initWithCredentials:creds];
DynamoDBGetItemRequest *request = [[DynamoDBGetItemRequest alloc]
    initWithTableName:@"Users" andKey:[[DynamoDBKey alloc] initWithHashKeyElement:
    [[DynamoDBAttributeValue alloc] initWithS:@"Chase"]]];
DynamoDBGetItemResponse *response = [ddb getItem:request]; //THROWING THE EXCEPTION HERE!
NSMutableDictionary *user = response.item;
NSLog(@"%@",user);

The output reads:
    Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'AmazonServiceException', reason: ''
The only thing that I changed from what the tutorial has done is the way I set up my user credentials and the line that throws the exception, the tutorial has:
DynamoDBCreateTableResponse *response = [[AmazonClientManager ddb] getItem:request];

I couldn't find any AmazonClientManager class anywhere, but the AmazonDynamoDBClient class seems to have the same method, so I am assuming that it should work (this could very well be the assumption that is breaking my code). I don't know if Amazon still supports that class because I can't find it in any documentation either.
Also, before I get yelled at, I know that I shouldn't be handing out my own credentials in the app. I will change this later. I am just trying to get to a sanity state for now.

A: You need to change these lines
AmazonCredentials *creds;
creds = [creds initWithAccessKey:MY_ACCESS_KEY withSecretKey:MY_SECRET_KEY];

to this
AmazonCredentials *creds = [[AmazonCredentials alloc] initWithAccessKey:MY_ACCESS_KEY withSecretKey:MY_SECRET_KEY];

Also, AmazonClientManager is not a part of the SDK. It's a part of the sample app and returns an instance of AmazonDynamoDBClient. It's included in the sample project.

'Describing & Delineating Effects': Comment on a Paper by Thomas Finegan
Intention, Side effects, Multiple intentions


We hired Pacific Group Developments to decommission and remove a very large commercial fuel oil tank that was sitting above ground on our property. They did a first-rate job. Kelsey and his company are extremely professional, courteous, hard-working and knowledgeable. We appreciate being kept informed throughout the process. It was a real pleasure to do business with them and we highly recommend Pacific Group Developments.
In addition, they offered to rip out and clear over an acre of broom with their excavator, which was already on our property for the tank removal. This is something we have wanted to deal with since we moved here. With their usual dedication and follow-through, Kelsey even spent a good part of Sunday finishing the job. Most of the broom plants were taller than the excavator so we will be burning them for some time but we are thrilled to have this part of our property cleared of a very invasive plant.
Thanks again, Guys, for your wonderful work!

How to Look For The best Car Repair Services.
Ensuring that our cars remain in good conditions all the time is something that is very important after buying the cars. It is of this fact that we must carry out repairing services for our cars. Nonetheless, getting the best mechanics to service your car is something that can be so hard in the instances that you are not aware of the things to look att. It is better to be aware that the state that your car will take after the repair is much dependent on the mechanic that did the repair work. If you take our car to an unqualified mechanic then you will be rest assured that the car will not get the right repair that you are looking for.
Read on to get some of the things that you need to look at when selecting the mechanic to repair your car.
The name that the service provider has in the public is very important to look at. You should ask your close friends and family members about the people who offer the best car repair in the region. Highly qualified mechanics will get more references out of your inquiry leaving you with simple option of just selecting. It is prudent to also go through the clients comments the sites of car servicing firms to get to gauge the quality of service that you are likely to receive.
The amount of cash that you had decided to use in the repair of your car must be ration such that it be enough to the intended services This should be giving information that must be telling you that when you are entangled with a situation where you have just purchased your initial car then you have an obligation of walking in many car repair garages and know the exact amount that you will be spending on your car on monthly basis. This will enable you in making prior financial planning that will be making sure of the condition of your at all the time.
You can't know the exact time you can be experiencing a breakdown and hamper your road trip and therefore you need to think some of the breakdown services that these services providers have. Breakdown services will be giving you the chance of moving your car to the garage any time you are faced with such calamities.
. The nature of professionalism that the workers in the garage have is something that you can't compromise on since it will be defining the accuracy that the employees will be taking in handling your car. The company that you hire ought to be having extraordinary skill that makes them impeccable among others.

Said, asked and so on, whats really best to describe your characters talking?
Thread starter DAgent
I've came across this a few times where people just recommend just typing "he said" or "he asked" instead of going into more detail. I'll agree it's very simply and to the point, but what if you are trying to convey a bit more detail then the dialogue by itself would, as, lets face it, some people misread what's put in front of them.
For example, would the following work better if we just ended the lines with "she said" or "he said" then what I've put down here?
"Oh I like that," she purred.
"I think you should leave, now." he growled.
Or would these lines work better if they were expanded a bit more, like this?
"Oh I like that," she purred like a cat eyeing an open can of cream.
"I think you should leave, now." he growled with his teeth bared and head down.
Just to clarify, I'm perfectly fine with using "he said" or "she said" or "she asked" when there's no need at all for more details to paint the scene, but I do think it can be helpful to provide a bit more context.
Toby Frost
I don't like either of those much, as a person can't literally purr words and could only just growl them (I know what's intended, but still). Unless there was some very specific need for another word, I'd go with "said" and say something about what the person is doing that implies the way it's being said.
He stood up so quickly that his chair fell over. "I think you should leave, now," he said. (Although this would probably be punchier without the "he said" at all).

For me, @Toby Frost 's version works better.
If I was trying to stick with your words, I would change the punctuation, and perhaps add a paragraph break after the quoted speech.
"Oh I like that."
She purred like a cat eyeing an open can of cream.
"I think you should leave, now."
He growled with his teeth bared and head down.
Although that does actually change the sense somewhat, and particularly in the first case changes the metaphorical to the literal.
(And I have a further objection to the purring business - cats and cream - I don't think any of ours would purr. )

I favor using only said and asked, and minimizing the number of tags. In a conversation between two people, only the first utterance needs to be tagged. I will second @Toby Frost's suggestion that, if it is included, additional stage direction ('action beats') should precede the dialog. Otherwise, I try to serialize descriptive sections, dialog sections, and action sections. I feel that this increases clarity and flow.
If you would like a rationale behind this, what works for me, is the premise that the reader has two distinct reading modes: dialog and description. Feel free to accept or reject that assumption. Once I accepted the premise, though, I realized that the reader is either paying attention to the dialog and ignoring any added description or the reader is paying attention to the description and ignoring the dialog. Thus, if I want the reader to process both dialog and actions, I need to keep them separate -- presented serially, not in parallel.
As for moving action beats to the front, the logic behind this is that the reader will maintain the mode established at the end of the sentence.
I would probably recast the initial lines as,
"Oh," she purred. "I like that."
"I think you should leave now."
I feel that the dialog is sufficient to convey completely different emotional states without further embellishment. I could even agree with replacing 'purred' with 'said,' as the dialog conveys the attitude sufficiently. Each writer, though, needs to make the choice that best express his or her own style. I hope my thought process, though, might provide some underlying reasons for adopting some of the stated rules.

What the others said. Try to think of actions, even small ones like facial expressions, to convey nuanced meaning. Things like purr and growl take us out of the immediacy of the dialogue, unless you're using those characteristics as an ongoing metaphorical trail of the character.

I agree with the above. I'll add a tiny thing, which can be inferred from Wayne Mack's post; namely, using two such tags one after the other is a bit much. Purr or growl; choose one. You can use the other in some other scene. But the more you pile up such usages, the more attention you draw to them. And away from dialogue and the actual moment.

Since it should be evident who is speaking any reasonably crafted line I even question why I would need to put 'he asked' after a question mark.
Reactions: mosaix and Stephen Palmer
'Said' is usually enough for most situations in my writing (these days), though I'll use other terms and add description if I think they are needed.
I tend to look at these tags in the context of the overall conversation, pacing of the scene and whether the speaking character is established at the time, so although something like 'he asked' after a question mark or an expression may be redundant, they may work in the wider scheme of things.

blah - flags. So many flags.
The concept is that said is an invisible word when reading - we glance over it without being pulled out of the narrative.
But! It's not invisible in audio books. It's very intrusive. Which is, in part, why action tags - no said etc but an attached action like Toby used to denote the speaker - have become more popular
Reactions: Phyrebrat, Astro Pen and ckatt
Incidentally snarled etc do my head in but one of my fav writers - Lous McMaster Bujold - uses them all the time. As ever, it's all in how it's done.

The way I see it, the only reason to use a tag other than "said" is if you want to draw attention to the tag for some reason.
So as to whether these examples work or not is impossible to say since they are just single lines with no context.
However something like "Oh I like that," she purred like a cat eyeing an open can of cream. does not work for me since the tag is longer than the dialogue and I the simile is taking over and so detracting from the intention of the line. Although, as I say, with no context, I have no idea of the line's intention or subtext.

I don't think it's necessary to go through a list of words to use instead of 'said'. If there is a reason for something to be said in a certain way (eg sarcastically) then mention it. But as others have said, it's possible to construct sentences quite often in a way that removes the need for 'he said' 'she said' conversations.

Said is an invisible word, although see Jo's comment above. It should be used almost all the time. Replied is acceptable if used sparsely, answered less so. Words like purred and growled should be used never, or at most once per novel. As for cats... doesn't that rather take the reader's attention away from the spoken part? It's completely unnecessary.
Reactions: ckatt and Kerrybuchanan

I agree with those above. In my earlier writing days (I'm talking youth) I used all kinds of verbs to signify someone speaking. But "said" is so simple and so common that it doesn't bother me if I'm reading it (excellent note about the audiobook version up above; I've not listened to a fiction audiobook before, but I could imagine constantly using "said" could be tiring).
But when I write dialogue, I often sprinkle in action beside the speaker's dialogue. Sometimes to help set the scene, other times because it would flow better than a 'he said' in that particular context. Honestly, I think it's mainly about flow. Sometimes, and often, you need very little (as long as it's absolutely clear who's doing the talking). Everyone here has brought up some amazing points.
In terms of your examples, I'll echo that using two pretty obtrusive verbs back-to-back to describe their speech draws too much attention to those words. Without knowing context, I would say you wouldn't even need dialogue tags for those. Assuming you've established in some way that the first character was speaking beforehand (I suppose she was looking at something?). And the second line of dialogue is strong enough on its own that it conveys the proper emotion without informing the reader how he said it. It's not really a line that can be misconstrued.

Piece of string. Some readers have very strong opinions on using words that 100% make sense for humans; others are happy with thing going a bit poetically. Some favour a simple approach that puts the focus on the words spoken, others like a bunch of snarleds and snappeds and what not. I know I do. To me, the latter feels like someone telling a story about what they've seen. But the former has its place too. I think my personal preference is to dispense with them when possible and to use something descriptive when not, but why should my personal preference be yours?
So my advice would be to go with whatever your heart desires, and see what your beta readers and editors make of it. And remember that if they tell you to use said 90% of the time, remind yourself that in the Night Manager John le Carre's first 9 dialogue descriptors were breathed, declared, purred, replied, ordered, asked, replied, asked and replied again, and finally he uses said for the 10th time. And if its good enough for John le Carre it's good enough for you.

Credit Suisse initiates its coverage on Apple with a neutral rating, citing a slowdown in smartphone demand and the iPhone business reaching maturation.
The bank expects iPhone sales to decline 12.4% in 2019 after dropping 3.2% in 2018.
"iPhone is in a difficult spot with units >20% below peak as users are holding on to their devices longer than ever and price hikes have likely run their course," says Credit Suisse's director of equity research, Matt Cabral.
Apple's iPhone business, its money-making machine that drove 60% revenue last year, is "in a difficult spot," Credit Suisse said Thursday.
The bank initiated its coverage on the tech giant with a neutral rating, citing a slowdown in smartphone demand and the iPhone business reaching maturation. It expects iPhone sales to decline 12.4% in 2019 after dropping 3.2% in 2018.
"iPhone is in a difficult spot with units >20% below peak as users are holding on to their devices longer than ever (4 years per CSe) and price hikes have likely run their course," Credit Suisse's Matt Cabral said in a note to clients.
Apple's flagship business took a hit when the company rolled out overpriced iPhones last fall, adding pressure to the already saturated and competitive market. The iPhone maker then lowered its first-quarter guidance, following weaker than expected iPhone sales and a weakening economy in China.
The slowdown in China has been a headache for Apple as it continues to lose share to local brands. Apple slashed iPhone prices by 6% in China after revenue in the region fell 27% year over year in the first quarter. Credit Suisse said there might be "no quick fix" in sight to turn it all around.
"Beyond macro conditions, we see deeper structural challenges in China and do not expect a meaningful turnaround without a major iPhone refresh, which is unlikely until 5G in CY20," said Cabral, the investment bank's director of equity research.
Amid the slowing iPhone business, Apple is aiming to shift its focus on services, hoping to monetize the massive user base. The company debuted a slew of new subscription services two weeks ago, including a TV service, gaming bundle, and magazine subscription, but Credit Suisse said the transition can't be done in the blink of an eye.
"We recognize the potential in the shift to services, but believe it will take time for that view to play out," Cabral said. The analyst sees the service business growing to $65 billion by 2021 from $40 billion in 2018.
Credit Suisse set a 12-month price target for Apple at $209, just a couple points above its current trading level of about $201. Its share price was unchanged Thursday morning.


Several decades ago, I worked as a volunteer on some sort of holiday camp (which we often referred to as a child-dump). While we were preparing the activities for that summer, one of us made up an impossible mission: take 100 grams of toilet paper and rip it to pieces until you get 200 grams. That one holiday, eating an entire raw union wasn't the hardest mission on that camp. Many kids tried, all failed miserably.
I guess it's our Belgian humor. We are so damn good at utter nonsense. Just look at our government, our traffic and our music. We invented new beat and we invented popcorn music. But we're also good at making shitloads of noise and slamming it in your face at high velocity. Hey, we have AmenRa, remember? Our latest assault comes from the otherwise quiet town of Beringen in Limburg, 30.000 Monkies, screaming, scratching, clawing and biting.
30.000 Monkies have been all around our country in the past few years or so. It has become quite impossible not to see these guys live. I've seen them a few times and each time I was blown away by the wall-of-noise they create. Combining harsh noise rock with severe sludge influences and some slight ambient breathers doesn't seem to be enough for them, so they thrown in some doom, a handful of blastbeats and some completely inaudible noise. Oh, and they scream.
If you want bands to compare these guys with, think Melvins, Melt Banana, Sonic Youth, Merzbow, Lightning Bolt, Harvey Milk, Yob, Sleep, Neurosis, AmenRa... From opener 'Melaena' to closer 'Juice', 30.000 Monkies drag you along an array of musical brutality, often interluded by dark and haunting soundscapes . Personally, I think my favorite track is 'Mountainesque I', a crushing piece of music that completely rips you apart until you weigh twice as much.

Extending Entry Page
====================

Puput allows extend the :class:`EntryPage` model. It provides two approaches to extend entries depending on the project
requirements.

Multi-table inheritance
-----------------------
The easiest way to extend :class:`EntryPage` model is using `multi-table inheritance <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#multi-table-inheritance>`_.
Imagine if you need an special entry that needs a mandatory video url. You can write an entry model like
this on :file:`models.py` of your project:

.. code-block:: python

    from django.db import models
    from puput.models import EntryPage

    class VideoEntryPage(EntryPage):
        video_url = models.URLField()
        content_panels = EntryPage.content_panels + [
            FieldPanel('video_url')
        ]

You also need to modify ``subpage_types`` field of :class:`BlogPage` model as by default is bounded
to have only :class:`EntryPage` as children. You can rewrite the above example with this:

.. code-block:: python

    from django.db import models
    from puput.models import EntryPage, BlogPage

    class VideoEntryPage(EntryPage):
        video_url = models.URLField()
        content_panels = EntryPage.content_panels + [
            FieldPanel('video_url')
        ]
    BlogPage.subpage_types.append(VideoEntryPage)

This will create two independent tables on the database so you can create entries on your blog that are instances
of :class:`EntryPage` or :class:`VideoEntryPage`.

Abstract base classes
---------------------
Another approach to have an extension of entries is using `abstract base classes <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#abstract-base-classes>`_
inheritance method by inheriting from :class:`EntryAbstract` instead of :class:`EntryPage`.
In the previous example, it's shown a blog with regular entries (:class:`EntryPage`) and tv entries (:class:`VideoEntryPage`).
If you only want to have :class:`VideoEntryPage` on your blog and create a simple table you need to extend
:class:`EntryAbstract` model on :file:`models.py` of your project.

.. code-block:: python

    from django.db import models
    from puput.abstracts import EntryAbstract
    from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel

    class VideoEntryAbstract(EntryAbstract):
        video_url = models.URLField()

        content_panels = EntryAbstract.content_panels + [
            FieldPanel('video_url')
        ]

        class Meta:
            abstract = True

.. warning::
    Do not import the :class:`EntryPage` model in your :file:`models.py` where defining the abstract extended model
    because it will cause a circular importation.

Registering entry extension
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You have to register the model extension in :file:`settings.py` adding :code:`PUPUT_ENTRY_MODEL` with the path of the abstract model.

Following the previous example you have to add :code:`PUPUT_ENTRY_MODEL` in your :file:`settings.py` file:

.. code-block:: python

    PUPUT_ENTRY_MODEL = 'youproject.models.VideoEntryAbstract'

Migrations
~~~~~~~~~~
If you extend :class:`EntryPage` model you must migrate the database in order to the see the changes
that you made on the model. However if you perform a ``makemigrations`` operation it will create a migration in
:class:`puput.migrations` of your local Puput module folder.

So you need to define a new path to store the changes made on :class:`EntryPage` model extension. You have to use  :code:`MIGRATION_MODULES` for this purpose:

.. code-block:: python

    MIGRATION_MODULES = {'puput': 'youproject.puput_migrations'}

After run ``makemigrations puput`` migrations will appear on ``puput_migrations`` folder.

.. note::
    It's recommended that the new initial migration represents the initial Puput migration in order to avoid conflicts
    when applying ``migrate puput`` command. A recommend way is run ``makemigrations puput`` **before** define Entry model
    extension on :file:`settings.py` by setting :code:`PUPUT_ENTRY_MODEL`.

Great day, Great people. Thanks must go to the event organisers for their hard work and effort put in for today, roll on the next one.
Glad to hear it went well and gutted I couldn't make it myself!
Anyone get any photos and/or videos?
I will post memories when i am less knackered!
HOWEVER - regardless of memories and the fun i had today... the top line to this event is as Forester said... and i wish to elaborate on this.
This has been BY FAR the best event i have ever been to. Well organised and every angled covered perfectly. Every possibly outcome was catered for and the game was adapted swiftly and effectively. The thing that highlighted this the most was the regroup at the medi block to give the Germans a chance to get a foot-hold back on the objectives. a VERY fair move made and it was a shame that they didn't take advantage of, what i saw to be, a phenomenally thought out and executed plan.
So yes, a MASSIVE thankyou to the organisers.
The second big thankyou has to be to the players for putting in an immense effort into the way you all looked and the character/mindset you got into. You all looked fantastic today and the overall atmosphere of the uniforms and the derelict layout of Phoenix was breathtaking.
I'll finish this one on a very thought provoking note.
I don't know your name and i'm sorry for it... but there was a bloke in a jack daniels top at the end of the game that made a small and very true comment.
But after the days gameplay and re-enacting, we all got a small taste for the action. Now try to imagine this sort of fighting and fear stretched out over what would seem to be a hopeless 9 days. Those men went far above and beyond what was expected of them and will remain victorious in the hearts of those that understand the conflict for a very long time to come.
got to be one of the best days ive eva had.
thanks to all the organisers and the people that went.
Some of you may not know that we had to call a premature end to the game today because a kid who appeared to be climbing over the spiked fence had got injured when the fence collapsed and his knee wedged in between the uprights, he was in a lot of pain.
He was very lucky that he wasn't badly injured. We had to call the fire brigade to cut him free and an ambulance just in case his injuries were more serious so apologies if the game seemed to end rather suddenly, but we couldn't have people still playing with vehicles moving through the site like that. Maybe it will teach these kids that fences are there for a reason. Still, at 15 I suppose you can be a bit curious.
Anyway, thanks to all for such a great day, I thoroughly enjoyed it. My Dutch comrades were on top form and really got into the spirit of the day as well as playing very well as a small fireteam. Some great immersive and honest play from both sides. It's clear that defending buildings is far, far easier than attacking them!
Great to hear you guys had a great time.
Looking forward to hearing your stories and seeing some photos.
as far as I am concerned it was a great day... totally ruined by the massive amount of cheat calling and cheating by what was expected to be experienced players!!
the amount of abuse flying about regarding cheating and blind firing was insane! from "take your f*****g hits you cheating f*****s!!" to a guy getting shot not taking it and then shooting at two guys well out of range and telling them they where cheating!!!
as and when another event is organized I would highly recommend a number of marshalls that can and will stamp out any misdemeaners of the rules? as yesterday proved, experienced players can't be trusted to play fair on there own!!
sorry just felt it had to be said!
An exelent do, Im glad i made it.

Firstly, a huge thank you to all who organised and worked so hard to make this day work. Secondly, thanks to all who participated and made such tremendous efforts with your uniforms.
This was the best airsoft experience I've ever had. Yes, it was not perfect, and tempers got frayed at certain points - sometimes justifiably, sometimes mistakenly.
However, from my personal experience, I would like to thank two individuals who told me that they had hit me - sometimes when you're running away, with full kit clanking around you, you really don't feel it - they were polite, and I took the hits.
I saw the odd occasion of bad sportsmanship, but I shall not be airing that in public - I shall be composing a PM of the great and the (few) bad points and sending to an organiser.
