A Shreveport man has been arrested and charged in the theft of nearly $20,000 worth of tires from a Bossier trucking company, according to the Bossier Sheriff's Office.
Deputies say Larry Blalock, 46, of the 3900 block of Huston Street, is charged in connection with the theft of 20 large tires and rims used on 18-wheel tractor-trailer rigs from Steve Kent Trucking on Sligo Road in February.
Sheriff's Investigators say they discovered that Blalock, who worked for a tire company in Shreveport, came to the trucking company where he allegedly would change out tires from various trailers at the company. They say he allegedly laid aside the tires and later returned to steal the larger tires, worth about $18,000.
Detectives charged Blalock with theft on February 25 and took him to the Bossier Maximum Security Facility.

Rhodiola may also help relieve the mild anxiety and fatigue associated with stressful conditions.Withania and Gotu kola are well known in the Indian Ayurvedic medicine tradition as nervous system restorative herbs, or Medhya Rasayanas herbs or nutritional substances that are specific to the brain tissues.
These nervous system tonic herbs are beneficial for improving general vitality and wellbeing, enhancing mental calmness and aiding memory and cognition during periods of stress or increased demand.
What does the word ADAPTOGEN mean?An adaptogenic substance or herb is one that demonstrates a non-specific (organ or tissue) enhancement to the body's ability to resist or cope more effectively with various stressors (physical, environmental, emotional).

The skirt is a Burda pleated skirt pattern, #124 from issue 12/2011 magazine. The skirt was meant to be pleated at the front but plain on the back, with side pockets and a centre back zip. Only I rushed to cut the pattern pieces out and cut out pleated pattern pieces for the back and front and with no fabric left to re-cut it I had to make do. That will teach me to read the instructions properly instead of speed reading them such was my hast to get sewing!!
Fabric wise the burda pleated skirt pattern was designed to be made up in leather, but as I'm still shopping my stash I made it up in a charcoal coloured wool blend fabric, with light blue lining. I have no idea where the fabric came from, I don't remember buying it so it's likely it was gifted to me. Yay for free fabric!! That's what happens when you tell older folk you sew!
Having realised I'd cut the pattern wrong it meant I couldn't insert a centre back zip. As you can imagine I'd more than thought I'd made a dogs dinner of it especially when there was meant to be side seam pockets. It's probably also worth pointing out I'd only realised I'd made the mistake when I'd already stitched the skirts pleats in place so it was a case of drat and double drat. The skirt was looking sooooo pouffy that I seriously thought'd I'd run the risk of looking like a sugar plum fairy :/
Needless to say I've never inserted a side zip with a pocket and a lining. Oh lordy give me strength and a bottle of gin, and that skirt in the back of my wardrobe for reference that has the zip, side pocket zip all in one thingy going on. I persevered, made a few mistakes and eventually I did it, my first ever side seam pocket with zip and lining Whoop whoop!
I probably shouldn't have really used an invisible zip with the wool fabric being a tad on the thick side but I was not about to attempt to insert any other zip, lapped, centred or god knows what, not with a pocket in the same seam! Talk about turning messy.
In wake of ignoring the cutting instruction, I couldn't follow the assembly instructions either so I winged it! yaaaaa--no, feeling smug with myself didn't last long and winging it meant that I forgot to overlock the side seam and pocket edge before attaching the zip resulting in messy finish, but oh well.
perfect pocket, if I do say so...
waist band facing
The good points were at least my side seams matched with the waist band one and the same on the zip side. For once I didn't have to shorten the skirt, although I did turn up a generous seam allowance of 1.5" which I hand stitched in place.
catch-stitched hem
As I'd cut the pattern wrong it meant the back waist band was a bit small to fit that part of the skirt but a little tweaking of the pleats and cutting off a centimetre of fabric at the back side seam, I got it to fit. The only other problem is one of the pleats doesn't lie as flat as it should but meh, I'm not bothered.
Despite my fabric cutting disaster, a will-it-won't-it work side zip pocket combo along with my initial thoughts that I might look like a sugar plum fairly. I'm happy to say I'm pleased with the out come. it's not my usual style of skirt but I'm beginning to feel that it will fit in nicely with my winter wardrobe and it makes a nice change from spending my working days living in jeans.
Next up and possibly my only sewing for December is the Bombshell dress.

For most sports fans, spring does not truly arrive until the crack of the bat is heard on Opening Day or a golfer is seen addressing his putt on Amen Corner. But in Louisville, spring comes a little late. You know the cliché: the best things in life are worth waiting for. Well, if you're a native Louisvillian, like myself, that wait pays big like 100-1 longshot big the first weekend in every May.
Of course, I'm talking about the Kentucky Derby, an event every sports fan should experience at least once. Wondering what it's like to be there? Not on Millionaire's Row, mind you. We're talking about joining the masses on the infield, where the real action is. Look no further this local is here to give you a primer built on a lifetime of marinating in all things Derby.
It starts when your first-grade class picks the winners on the Friday before Derby. It continues when you're asked to carry the legs of an entire hog to be roasted during one of the epic Derby parties that people host at their homes all over Louisville. It stays strong as you get your driver's license and try to make it to as many of the ancillary Derby events concerts, 5-mph steamboat races down the Ohio River, parades, food festivals, hole-in-one contests, you name it as possible. And it breaks out into a full gallop when you see those Twin Spires in the distance and realize you are about to, for the first time, DO DERBY!
Keep in mind, these words won't do Derby justice, but then again, unless you're sharing a fifth of Old Granddad and sunscreen with the good Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (R.I.P. and Mahalo, Good Doctor) while watching cops in riot gear break up a fight involving six girls in the infield, nothing really will.
With that said, let's saddle up!
Derby: That's it: "Derby." Not "Kentucky Derby" that's like calling Pele by his full name. If you have to explain which Derby you're talking about, you might as well go to an OTB. Nothing will make you stand out like a fat jockey more than saying "Kentucky Derby" at Churchill Downs. For savvy vets, it's just "Derby." The "Kentucky Derby" represents the greatest two minutes in sports. "Derby" represents the best day in sports. Oh, and when you get to town, you'll be in Louavull, not Louisville.
Infield: What Bourbon Street is to Mardi Gras, the infield is to Derby. Churchill Downs and its moneymen have seen fit to raise the entry cost to $40, but that hasn't stopped approximately 70,000 of your closest friends and relatives and believe me, a few too many of the infield denizens are related from filing in every year. It even has a Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome feel to it (minus the awful Tina Turner theme song). While the moneyed crowd with their blazers and elaborate hats hobnob on the other side of the track, they file the unwashed throngs of people under the track and into the infield. For most people, the memory of that rush they feel as they walk beneath the track, high-fiving people they've never met before in a tunnel well, that's the last thing they'll remember.
In my heyday, it cost $20 to get into the infield, and once you got in, you made a mad dash to the
Third Turn: I don't know the history behind it, but for years the under-30 set has occupied the Third Turn. If you want to catch the 42-year-old grandmother wearing a "Talk Derby to Me" tank top, you'll need to find another turn. The Third Turn is all about newbies passed out by race 4, collegians catching up with old high school classmates before passing out by race 7, and the post-college crowd drawing on all of the above by the Derby.
It's always fun to try to guess the time of the Utter Depravity Point of Inflection. It's that priceless 25 minutes when the crowd goes from a bit too giddy (this can be seen in shirtless guys giving simultaneous "whoooo-hooos" and hugs to other shirtless guys) to just downright lewd (this can be heard in constant demands for, ah, "mammalian exhibitions"). When you hear those requests, you might as well throw down a $20 on the nudity and lewdity exacta, because the crowd has made the turn.
Everybody has his or her favorite "Third Turn Moment." Is my favorite moment when the cops in riot gear stormed the nearby fort made entirely of coolers (apparently a group of frat guys had used Fort Igloo to stage Operation Fruit Toss, hucking citrus in every direction)? Nah. It had to be the time I saw a long-lost buddy from grade school being wheeled around the infield in the back of grocery cart! If he was awake, he wasn't letting on. How somebody "smuggles" a Kroger Kart into the infield is a great question. An even better question is what my old buddy was doing with a sick sunburn and two massive gold chains around his neck.
Coolers: See, the infield has this rule. If you want to get pie-eyed with the ponies, you'll do it on their terms or at least in theory. Not content with taking $40 out of your wallet, they'd also like you to pay a pretty penny for alcohol $8 a beer. Being the nice people that Churchill Downs are, though, they let you bring in your own food. So every year, with the amount of time, ingenuity and expertise usually reserved for bong repair and nanoscience labs, Derby-goers find ways of sneaking alcohol in via their coolers.
The go-to method is to put ice in the cooler, pour two handles of vodka and voilà "melted ice!" Another oldie is to spike all manner of fruit with liquor. There are few things better than seeing the inebriated unaware of orange quarters still lodged in their gums. So while the "No Alcohol" rule, like so many well-intentioned ordinances, sounds good in theory, in practice it results in Kappas Gone Wild by 4:00 p.m and for the record, they've been going wild in the infield long before digital video cameras came around.
The Race: Ummm you won't see it. Not if you are in the infield anyway. Heck, most people in the infield don't even know it's going on. You'll hear some screaming once the race begins, but by that point, you'll just think it's another fight, or maybe the crowd's reaction when they found out they just ran out of Mint Juleps. If you're really ambitious, you can follow the screaming much like the crowd doing the Wave, only with cheers instead of hands and keep a rough gauge of where the horses are. But consider yourself warned: if you want to see the horses on Derby day, don't do the infield. When the bathroom line is longer than the betting line, you know where the infield's priorities lie.
Mint Julep: You really can't smuggle a Mint Julep in, but you can bring some "gas for that fire," as they say. Churchill Downs makes thousands of the signature drink on Derby Day, but sometimes they aren't afraid to short-arm the bourbon bottle. That's why it's imperative to bring your own Action Flask to grease the gears. And for the love of God, nothing screams "Rookie!!!" like the guy/gal who keeps each souvenir glass that the Mint Julep comes in. While the glass is nice and lists every previous Derby winner, it also marks you as a first-timer and someone to avoid like the plague in the betting line ("How much would I make on the white horse if he comes in second?"). So if you want to keep a glass, fine, but don't be that person walking around with six.
If you feel the need to follow the races and go to the infield, here's what I'd suggest. Pick your horses the night before. First thing you do when you get to the infield is place your bets. File those tickets in a dark place in your wallet. Then go do as the Louisvillians do. Don't worry, you still won't see any horses, but you've bet on the race and you can watch the replays the next day on TV. Then make one final bet with your friends on who won't make it home with the group you came in. No group of people has ever gone to the infield and left with the same group intact. You might have less people as you leave the infield. Heck, you might have picked up some more, but it won't be the same group you started with. Guaranteed.
Millionaire's Row: Half the fun of Derby for me is to get detached from the hullabaloo and take it all in from a distance. Don't get me wrong, I love Louisville. I really do. But if Hip decided to attack the axis of Fashion and Fame, the 'Ville would be nowhere near the frontlines. And that's fine with me.
But as with most places, there is a certain segment with the local media happily throwing gas on the bonfire that's always trying to prove just how cosmopolitan Louisville is. That's where Millionaire's Row comes in. It's the level on the homestretch of Churchill Downs reserved for the Equinati owners, trainers, etc. It's also where they put the famous people. The local media love to fawn over who shows up each year. It's Louisville's collective, misguided litmus test of popularity.
Sometimes it's a hit (meaning relevant, famous people), with the likes of Jack Nicholson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Halle Berry and P. Diddy all stopping by in the last five years or so, but more often it's a murder-me row of passed-over Hollywood Squares. I'll take Delta Burke for the win!
For every Nicholson, there's a Don Johnson, Dixie Carter, and that guy from Simon & Simon (no, not the blonde one the bald one). Basically, it's CBS's primetime lineup circa '89. But as pathetic as it is to see the media breathlessly asking where Dixie Carter got her hat, it still makes me laugh.
6:00 a.m.: What 4:20 p.m. is to stoners, 6:00 a.m. is to Louisvillians during Derby Week. 6:00 a.m. is closing time for bars. So, for that one week, the bars don't really even close. It's a free-for-all. All the good bands, or at least as good as bands are today, show up that week as well. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if My Morning Jacket decided to rent out an 18-wheeler, knock out a side and just drive around the 'Ville rocking the unsober masses this year.
If that doesn't yank your chain, there's probably a Nickelback/3 Doors Down double-bill at Phoenix Hill Tavern that will. It might make perfect sense to stop by and mock that show, but as I can painfully attest by some weird alchemy of goodtime spring vibes, live music, a Coors Party Ball, Tevas and Derby what you set out to ridicule now has you in the front row giving that wavy, pointy finger to the guitarist as he rips off a bad (but at the time, soooooooooo gooooooooood) solo.
Pendennis Club: Louisville's answer to Bushwood Country Club. It's a club that for 364 days a year stinks of old money, and where drinking before lunch isn't necessarily taboo. But for that 365th day a year, the Pendennis Club throws the best post-Derby bash. You won't see J-Lo, Giselle or Colin Farrell being ushered in, but in keeping with the Millionaire's Row spirit of "hey, we're somewhat hip!" you will get all the reality TV show retreads.
The Oaks: If Derby is the horse race for America, Oaks (held the day before) is the horse race for Louisville. Back in the day, Oaks used to be a little Friday of racing before all hell broke loose the next day. People were more subdued and congenial at Oaks, if for no other reason than any antics were sure to be seen by a neighbor or cousin. With the riff-raff from Mardi Gras and Springer Break still making their way to Louisville, the locals knew to get to Churchill Downs for all the trappings of Derby before Churchill Downs' parking lot was awash in out-of-state plates.
But somewhere along the way, someone let out the 'Ville's secret (probably a Hoosier) and the Oaks blew up. It used be that the infield was opened up only for Derby, but now they open it up on Oaks, too and it's packed.
Two Minutes To Post: The best tip I can give you for Derby Day (besides praying to Helios that he bless the day with plentiful rays) is to just let it happen because it will. Countless throngs have shown up in Louisville that weekend only to try to do too much, in too little time. It's hard not to get caught up in the frenzy and bedlam that makes Derby so great, but if you can pull it together, take that minute or two to just look around. The sun beaming down, the women regaling in their hats, the men in their blazers (or no shirts at all if you're in the infield), the old-timers trading tips by the paddock and basically the camaraderie of over 100,000 people celebrating the biggest party in sports. And there's no better time to have that reflection then when they cue up the biggest tearjerker in the sports jukebox, Stephen Foster's "My Old Kentucky Home."
So follow my advice and you can be a winner (or at least place) at this year's Run for the Roses. Derby won't disappoint, it never does.
Oh, and NEVER BET THE DERBY FAVORITE!

"Aaron Starmer skillfully welds sharp humor, deep loss, and roaring escapades. Truly the smartest and funniest book about spontaneous combustion you will ever read." —John Green, #1 bestselling author of The Fault In Our StarsA TIME magazine Top 10 YA & Children's Book of 2016!An ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults selectionWith all the perfectly lovely young adult novels out there, you decided to check this one out? It's got spontaneously combusting teenagers in it, dude. Not the slow burning type either. We're talking the randomly exploding variety. Seniors in high school just walking along, heading to class, whistling Beyoncé, when—WA-BAM!— they're suddenly dripping off the lockers. Is that really something you're into? Confession: I'm actually kinda into that too. So, now that we've established we're both thoroughly weird and, I assume, thoroughly open-minded, we can give it shot, right? Let's at least read the opening chapters of this bad-boy and see if it features some of the more intriguing elements such as... - Exploding teenagers (obviously). - Hallucinogenic mushrooms. - Pyromaniacal boyfriends. - Triplet toddlers in powder blue suits. - Amur leopards and doomsday preppers. - A foul-mouthed female POTUS. - Ashtanga yoga. - Youtube sensations. - Self-driving Priuses. - Rogue FBI agents. - Mad scientists. - Homecoming. - Spring break. - Prom. - And … Jennifer Lawrence. Notice how I put Jennifer Lawrence last. She's in the book, so it's not cheating. And hey, if it takes America's most beloved movie star to sell this thing, then that's what it takes. So, in closing: Jennifer Lawrence. "Wildly inventive." — Entertainment Weekly "Must List""This comically surreal novel that will blow your mind."— People Magazine? "A blood-soaked, laugh-filled, tear-drenched, endlessly compelling read." — Kirkus, starred review? "A wholly original YA tale of identity, friendship, love, lust, and gory, grisly death." — SLJ, starred review"Bursting with heartache and gore, Mara's narration appeals directly to readers'senses of horror and humor." — Horn Book

i got my first speeding ticket 3 weeks ago and am on court supervision so i have been using my cruse control on my compute to work and last night i got pulled over by a state officer and he said i was going 84 and i told him it was impossible because i was using cruse control at 65 he was very rude demanded my license and kept it i'm devastated this is unbelieveable i honestly was going 65 i dont know what to do i can't afford this and i need my license to drive 1 hour to work
You need to consult with a traffic attorney near you. In the meantime, stop relying on cruise control and instead be the slowest driver on the road.Ask a similar question
Your ticket is a substitute for your license and in lieu of bond, so you can continue to drive but you really need a lawyer. If you have a working speedometer in your vehicle, you should have known you were speeding, regardless of the computer, even if you did not know the exact speed. A lawyer will help you minimize the damages.Ask a similar question
By the way - Are you aware that you can drive faster than the setiting on your cruise control and that if you take your foot off the accelerator, your speed will return to the preset speed?
You can drive on the ticket. A lawyer can probably save your supervision and maybe get it for the newest offenseAsk a similar question

I've spent today tidying up the Tech Ed speaker and session list – if you are attending Tech Ed you should already have a login to Comnet. If you do – you should see a lot more sessions published now complete with abstracts. Pretty much all the sessions should now be visible to add to your schedule and there are some very good sessions and speakers there.
All the best speakers.
This year we have a heap of speakers from the US. We actually aimed to have 80% of the sessions filled by US speakers – this is not an easy target to reach – and we didn't quite reach it, but we were very close. This means that you'll be able to ask those deep technical questions you want to ask of the people who are building the products.
The other spin off this has made is that it has meant that the number of open speaking slots for local speakers is considerably less this year than in previous years. This is one reason why we didn't do a call for papers this year. It also means that the local speakers that are speaking are truly the best of the best local speakers – most of them are MVP's with one or two who are not but who have considerable depth in their particular topic.
Lunchtime sessions.
We've also got lots of lunchtime sessions – we are running four lunchtime sessions every day – these sessions are 30 minute rapid fire sessions covering a range of interesting topics from Spatial data in SQL Server 2008 to Certification and a heap of things in between. Sessions include enterprise mobility, enterprise project management, enterprise desktop management and getting into BackgroundMotion.
Hopefully this will all mean that Tech Ed will be one of the highlights of your year!

I took my Step 3 at the beginning of my PGY-2 year. I was initially scheduled at the end of my intern year but it was cancelled because of a power outage. It was August 2013 and in NY. After my Step 2 I knew it was basically an endurance marathon. I was more nervous about the CCS as I am not very computer savvy, but after doing the online practice version I was more certain how to manage the clock.
I am a psychiatry resident and we have to do 4 months in Internal Medicine on the floors. While I hated every minute of it while on the floors (it was scut, scut, scut) it did end up helping me immensely with my MCQs. If you are a psych resident I recommend taking the Step 3 shortly after your IM and Neuro rotations.
I spent 6 weeks studying for my Step 3. I used USMLEWorld and ran the questions twice. I took a week's vacation near my test date to go over my incorrect answers and also to practice time management on my CCS. I tend to go through my Steps very quickly as I am on the philosophy that you know the answer or you don't. I finished an hour early the first day and second day I was done by noon. Then I went home and watched useless television and ate junk food. My results were about 80% and I don't recall the 3 digit score. At that point in my career I just needed to pass and didn't care about competitive scores. So in the end, mission accomplished.

Daniel Dancer is one of the most requested artists in the united states.
He's spent the past week working on a special piece of art, with help from some students and faculty at the indian island school.
":I'm part Native American. I have a little Mohawk in me, so when I'm doing a Native American project, I can take it to another level.":
Dancer lined students and faculty, dressed in blue, from the Indian Island School beneath a design he created.
Then he was lifted up high, by an Old Town Fire Department Ladder truck, where he took photographs and videos of his creation.
The design was of a Native American in an ancient Birch Bark canoe, paddling along the river. The students and faculty represented the river.
Dancer's final depiction was unveiled at a special assembly at the school on Tuesday.
He says he hopes people look at his art and realize how inter-connected everything is, and how people should care for the Earth.
You can find more of Dancer's art online at his website, www.artforthesky.com.

The main dining room was too stuffy (formal) for our taste, we prefer the more relaxed informal dining. However, the waiters at the main dining room went out of their way to serve us, and were specially friendly.

|Ugly, very noisy where the ship docked. Maybe if they docked at another place instead of in front of the warehouses next to the cargo ships. Interesting watching the dogs sniff drugs from the crates that were being loaded on the cargo ships. The smart dogs did find a couple of crates which they put aside. Interesting, but not what we expected on a cruise. Unless they dock at another place away from the warehouses, and cargo ships, Carnival should not bother to stop there.

The service is
always amazing! Every single memory I have there
has always been awesome. The
food is always delicious. Every single time.
That's why I love it there. Every single time.
Scoggins Norman
Normally, I super
love this place but I decided to go for
brunch.... I'm not a buffet person and will
never be but sometimes strange things
happen.Their brunch was okay. They provided
oysters and shrimp which were fabulous!! As well
and the little mini desserts, but as no big
surprise the rest of the food was below warm in
temperature and tasted like it had been sitting
there for awhile. The moral of the story... No
matter how super fabulous a restaurant has been
in the past, no one can pull off the buffet
style food and let me walk away sassy-fied.
I love it because no
matter what you order, it's always great. I
recently took two friends to lunch there who are
vegetarian inclined, and they both wrote me
thank you notes. I like heavy meat/seafood and
stuff myself, and you cover all the bases.

First of all the
atmosphere is just breath taking with the New

just simply love Owen Brennan's!
This has become my
Favorite place for Sunday brunch. The champagne
brunch is the best around. We like to sit at
the bar, because we get really good service and
quick refills on champagne. You can go thru the
buffet lines and get breakfast, lunch or dinner
with totally killer deserts. Everyone we take
there is as crazy about the place as we are.
Enjoy...try it.

Iain Duncan Smith is recruiting a new £140,000-a-year director of his troubled welfare reform project Universal Credit – barely a year after the last change of leadership.
The job is among the top paying jobs in the civil service – more than the Work and Pensions Secretary earns himself.
The advert for the role – posted on the Civil Service Jobs website - says the Department for Work and Pensions is seeking someone to develop and implement the £2bn Universal Credit programme, the Government's flagship welfare reform project that will merge six benefits into one payment over the next five years.
However the programme has been beset by problems since Mr Duncan Smith announced in 2011 that 1m people would be on the benefit by April 2014.
Only 7,000 people were on the benefit by then and the latest figures showed there were just 141,000 people claiming Universal Credit in October 2015, while 2016 roll-out in April will cover less than 400,000 more.
The Office for Budget Responsibility revealed further delays in the roll-out last month and the latest forecast for completion is by the end of the 2020/2021 financial year.
Millions of pounds have already been written off due to IT problems in getting the new system working and several senior managers have resigned or left their roles.
Howard Shiplee was the latest official to quit the project last year as director general after just over a year in the job, following Terry Moran and renowned IT expert Philip Langsdale out the exit door.
Neil Couling was promoted to director general of Universal Credit after Mr Shiplee's departure and the department told The Independent that he remains in his position.
A spokesman said the advert is part of a routine practice to hold an open recruitment process when a vacancy comes up and Mr Couling will have to apply for the job along with any other candidates.
The department has only just advertised for the role, despite Mr Couling having served in the position since October last year.
The successful candidate will be in charge of 600 staff working on the transition to Universal Credit and a £1.7bn budget.
The advert says candidates must have "a track record of success in delivering very large complex business transformations" and must have the ability to "influence and challenge at the most senior levels in order to realise the business benefits of the programme".
The six benefits that Universal Credit will replace are: Jobseeker's Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Child Tax Credit, Working Tax Credit and Housing Benefit.
Much of the delay is due to problems with the complex new IT system that is needed for Universal Credit to work – it relies on real-time sharing of information between DWP and HM Revenue and Customs, two of the Government's largest departments.
The £140,000 role comes with several benefits, such as flexible working hours, "family friendly policies" that include part time and part-year contracts, childcare provision and relocation expenses.
The advert states: "This is a critical role for the Department, and for the Government. If you are excited by this high profile challenge to deliver an ambitious, once in a generation, programme of welfare reform."
A DWP spokesman said: "The director general of Universal Credit was appointed to his post on a personal promotion. In line with Civil Service recruitment guidelines the post is now being advertised externally.
"Universal Credit is successfully rolling out across the country and is currently in over three quarters of all Jobcentres. Under UC claimants are moving into work quicker and earning more."

Show-EventLog [[-ComputerName] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
The Show-EventLog cmdlet opens Event Viewer on the local computer and displays in it all of the classic event logs on the local computer or a remote computer.
To open Event Viewer on Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating system, the current user must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer.
The cmdlets that contain the EventLog noun (the EventLog cmdlets) work only on classic event logs. To get events from logs that use the Windows Event Log technology in Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows operating system, use the Get-WinEvent cmdlet.
Example 1: Display event logs for the local computer
PS C:\> Show-EventLog
This command opens Event Viewer and displays in it the classic event logs on the local computer.
Example 2: Display event logs for a remote computer
PS C:\> Show-EventLog -ComputerName "Server01"
This command opens Event Viewer and displays in it the classic event logs on the Server01 computer.
Specifies a remote computer. Show-EventLog displays the event logs from the specified computer in Event Viewer on the local computer. The default is the local computer.
Type the NetBIOS name, an IP address, or a fully qualified domain name of a remote computer.
This parameter does not rely on Windows PowerShell remoting. You can use the ComputerName parameter even if your computer is not configured to run remote commands.
Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: CN
Required: False

For more information, see about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
You cannot pipe input to this cmdlet.
This cmdlet does not generate any output.
The Windows PowerShell command prompt returns as soon as Event Viewer opens. You can work in the current session while Event Viewer is open.
Because this cmdlet requires a user interface, it does not work on Server Core installations of Windows Server.

[0.7.2a] New Galactic Order (v.1.04c)
May 22, 2015, 03:00:12 PM »
Music to play in background:
Faction description:
The New Galactic Order is a dictatorship with heavy nationalistic influences and is build upon an old terran ideology. The main idea behind the NGO is to
establish an ideology to change the nature of the whole sector into a peaceful environment without corruption, decadence, false religions and financial slavery. When the
need arises even by force!
The message of the first sight of an NGO invasion fleet spread very fast around the sector and the big factions got nervous to see such impressive military
fleet coming out of nowhere. The knowledge about the NGO infused confusion among the established factions and scattered the most bizarre rumors around.
Some people believe that the NGO is the final liberation from all the despair and corruption that is currently present in the whole sector, other malicious
tongues believe that the NGO is just another terrorist organization financed by old fanatic ideologists. Only one fact is true, that the closed file Exploration
841 got opened up again and that the intelligence agencies of the head faction are in steady exchange of data. People of the sector are right now divided into
two groups, hate or love for the New Galactic Order.
Some politicians suspect the Interstellar Imperium to be one of the main financial supporters of the New Galactic Order and that there exists an extensive
exchange of information between those two factions, in political, economical, scientific and military aspects. Even positive relations to the Independents can
not be excluded. It's still unknown how long those relationships are been there but the fact that the NGO possesses an terra-formed planet and that no
agencies of the head factions knew about the NGO speak volumes and only raises the already present paranoia, especially those of the Hegemony who closed
the secret file ages ago.
The leadership of the NGO convicted the established factions to be responsible for the growing decadence and the downfall of human values since the
collapse. Their only way to secure the future of the human species lies in peace through war, in eradicating the corruption and to sow the seed of an most
perfect ideology into the hearts and minds of all people in the sector.
And the phoenix arises out of his ashes to take vengeance on his foes.
Commander of the battlecruiser "Awakening"
Our sun shines, bright, the darkness falls, for now and forever.
Leader of the NGO Invasion Fleet and commander of the battleship "Event Horizon"
We watched the decadence growing, we saw the lies and the hate.
Now we are ready to perish those madness, to liberate all people from their false ideologies
and religions.
Commander of the battleship "Sunrise"
The end and the beginning, we bring it both.
Commander of the battlecruiser "Revelation"

Yes you are right tartiflette, the general art he used is from "Stars in Shadow" game but outdated. Also he didn't changed anything of the available art content. I will use the art and modify them to my pleasing.

My only grip is that all ships are very similar. Not that much of a problem when you go from the battleship to the cruiser (also, aren't the ships a bit small compared to vanilla?) but the two destroyers confused me at first. Same "bumpers" on the sides, same torpedo tubes, roughly the same shape... Any more ships like those and battles could get quite confusing.
Anyway, good luck with the coding.

Thank you all for the warmth welcome,
@Helmut, yes the two destroyer look very similar, but it is intended cuz the heavy destroyer is just an overloaded/fitted normal destroyer. Ofcourse i could look to change the front of the normal destroyer a bit to create more differences between them
*for now im completely focused on the art and ship design, i hope the coding etc will not be impossible for a beginner, we will see

I just noticed your portraits. I really love the comical feeling of 'em. They look reliable and beautifully made. I'm looking forward to see them when you resized them to proper starsector size.

Your superfreighter looks more like a brawler to me, just saying. She looks gorgeous. The bright-looking parts with the red light thingy, are those flight decks?

hey Ryxsen1421,
yes you are right, those are flightdecks. Yeah the shape is more rounded off cuz it's very slow moving and more of a platform, a rounder shape is better to defend the whole large ship with less weapons, maybe i change something here and there. The Battlefreighter is a mixture of a superfreigher/carrier/cruiser. Slow, much cargo and some good weapon mounts for a freighter. Also two flightdecks to give the NGO fleet some crucial wing support.

The flight deck feels unnatural to me, the large white rectangle thingy made it look kinda silly imo. I'd recommend trying darker grey for the base color.

I have a critic concerning the sprites. They are grey, very grey. And it doesn't looks very good.
In vanilla SS, there's almost no hint of grey in David's sprites. Even the "grey-est" modded factions (Templars, P9, Valkyrians...) aren't as "grey" as your ships. It's especially obvious your ships as they have lines that beg to be colored.
Here i tried to add some random colors.
Your version only have the windows colored and a very slight yellow on the engines. Even if the color scheme of your faction is close to grey, an absolute, pure grey looks out of place. It's always better to add a very faint color on it to avoid this.
I don't know what color scheme you'll use for your faction but this thread might help you.

Offered for your consideration is a 19th century English George Jones Majolica game dish with a liner and a quail on the cover. The base is decorated with green leaves and wheat shafts on a brown ground. The top sports a three dimensional dead quail or game bird lying on a bed of wheat. The purple interior contrasts brightly with the exterior.
The dish and liner are in very good condition with minor crazing to be expected for the liner. The cover has been professionally repaired. These tops or covers were often greasy and hard to hold onto if being used as a dish. Unfortunately, many of the tops were dropped and broken, but the pieces were so wonderful for display that they were lovingly put back together, a fortunate thing for modern day collectors that wish to display the pieces on a sideboard or in a cabinet. It is very rare to find one with its liner.
Size: 7" Height by 11 5/8" Length by 8 7/8" Depth.
