BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (Two-thirds of all members elected to each House thereof concurring therein):
Section 1. Subsection (D), Section 5, Chapter 161, Volume 43, Laws of Delaware, as amended, is amended by striking said subsection in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:

In addition, every person, male or female, who shall have obtained the age of eighteen (18) years on the date of the annual municipal election who shall be a bona fide resident of the State of Delaware and the Town of Dagsboro on the date of the annual municipal election shall be entitled to one (1) vote, provided such person is registered to vote in the Town of Dagsboro.

No vote shall be east by a partnership except by a partner, and no vote shall be cast by an association or corporation except by a person holding a certified copy of a resolution of said association or corporation authorizing the person named therein to cast the vote of said association or corporation, which certified copy of the resolution shall be filed with the Election Board at the time said ballot is cast.

No person shall be registered upon the Books of Registered Voters unless such person will have acquired the qualifications to vote in the annual municipal election for the year in which such person registers. A person shall only be required to register one time. The Books of Registered Voters shall be maintained at the Town office and shall show conclusive evidence of the right of any person to vote at the annual municipal election.

(L) Delivery of absentee ballots to polling places.
When an absentee voter's ballot is received by the Council, the voucher envelope containing the marked ballot shall be safely and securely kept in the Town office until the day of the election when it shall be delivered to the polling place.
A duly authorized representative of the Council shall deliver all such voucher envelopes, sealed in 1 or more carrier envelopes as set forth in subsection (K) of this section, to the Election Board at the polling place after the opening of the polls and at least 2 hours before the closing of the polls.

The ballot shall then be voted by depositing same (still in its official envelope) in the ballot box provided for receipt of absentee ballots, and the proper notations of such vote shall then be recorded in the election records in the same fashion as if the voter had appeared to cast his vote in person.
All voucher envelopes from which ballots have been taken and voted and all voucher envelopes containing ballots which have been rejected and endorsed as provided in subsection (P) of this section shall be preserved by the Election Board, and at the close of the count shall be placed in the ballot box as provided by the general election laws.
(0) Challenges.

Upon challenge, proceedings thereon shall be as provided elsewhere in this Charter.
(P) Rejected ballots.
(1) In case the affidavit of the absentee voter is found to be insufficient, or the absentee voter is not a duly qualified voter in such election, or the voucher envelope is open, or has been opened and resealed, or it is evident that the voucher
envelope has been tampered with our altered, or such ballot has been forwarded to the polls by someone other than a duly authorized representative of the Council, such vote shall not be accepted or counted. If the voucher envelope has not been opened at the time the Election Board decides that the offered ballot contained therein should be rejected for any of the foregoing reasons, it shall not be opened by the Election Board, but they shall endorse thereon, "REJECTED," giving reason therefor, and if the voucher envelope has been opened and the ballot is rejected, the official envelope containing the ballot shall be replaced in the same voucher envelope from which it was taken and the Election shall endorse on the voucher envelope, "REJECTED," giving reason therefor.
(2) Whenever it is made to appear by due proof to the Election Board that any absentee voter, who has marked and forwarded his ballot, has died, the voucher envelope containing the ballot shall not be opened but shall be marked "REJECTED, Dead," and shall be preserved and disposed of as other rejected ballots.
(3) Whenever a ballot has not been counted but has been rejected for any reason, the Election Board shall make the required notation on the absentee ballot tally sheet and shall note the number of ballots so rejected on the certificates of election.

BARCELONA, Spain-Hewlett-Packard is making a serious, concentrated push into the software business-perhaps its most serious to date-by capitalizing on its strengths while reaching out to all players in the software development life cycle. At its HP Universe conference here, the systems, software and services company launched its latest software suite, ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) 11, which represents more than two years of R&D, according to Bill Veghte, executive vice president of HP's Software and Solutions organization.
"The need for innovation and agility is key for applications today, and we think the releases we are doing-from Quality Center to ALM 11-are the right way," Veghte told eWEEK. "Our new ALM solution is platform- and IDE [integrated development environment]-agnostic."
Veghte, who spent nearly 20 years at Microsoft as a top executive in the Windows organization, said ALM 11 delivers an architecture designed to accelerate the reliable, secure delivery of applications and services. The platform automates application modernization- from requirements management through quality and performance, he added.
"The competition in the ALM space has started to heat up over the last year," said Dave West, an analyst with Forrester Research. "This HP release is essentially an announcement around the Mercury tools that came into HP through an acquisition four years ago."
Further reading
HP acquired Mercury Software in 2006 for $4.5 billion in a deal designed to bring together the strength of HP's OpenView systems, network and IT service management software with Mercury's strength in application management, application delivery, IT governance and service-oriented architecture governance. Another goal at that time was to increase HP's software business to more than $2 billion in annual revenue.
But HP has far exceeded both goals. Under Veghte, HP's Software and Solutions unit is a $3.6 billion business, and the new ALM 11 solution is evidence of HP's maturity in the software field.
"As organizations begin to depend more on software, the ability to create and deliver it effectively is a key differentiator," said Forrester's West.
West cited a recent Forrester study commissioned by HP that showed that 69 percent of IT decision-makers have earmarked 25 percent of their annual IT budget for application modernization, while 30 percent said they will dedicate more than 50 percent.
"Historically, people haven't done a great job with ALM; it used to be these huge offerings," he said.
However, West added, "Most organizations have aspired to an ALM discipline but haven't been able to implement it because of the need to support lots of different teams and development processes on complex projects.
"One interesting thing about this announcement from HP is the broadness of the offering. It's not just SDLC [software development life cycle], but it includes operations and management and other disciplines."

For more than a year, APTA has enumerated our strong support for maintaining the tax exempt status of municipal bonds, the commuter tax benefit, alternative fuels benefits, private activity bonds (PABs), investment tax credits, and the need to address the long-term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund. Unfortunately, the bill fails to address most of APTA's key priorities. Specifically:
The House Ways and Means Committee is expected to markup this legislation on November 6, 2017 at 12:00 p.m. APTA encourages you to contact your Member of Congress to address these key issues in this legislation. To view the hearing, please visit the committee link here.
APTA continues to review this legislation and will be closely tracking these issues as the legislative process continues.

The Challenge
What's the OSR solo play challenge?
Here are the key factors in such an adventure.
- A pregenerated multi-talented character with a limited number of resources.
- A completely linear adventure. One room follows the next, like a puzzle that must be completed.
- Scenario design used to test knowledge of Dungeons and Dragons (or in our case OSR) tropes.
- Ability to select from a number of preparations & actions (from 0-4)
So, we should produce one of these!
Either here in the comments section, or in the posted link on G+, describe and write a single room! I think if we can get 8 rooms together, that will be enough to put together a short free .pdf. The pregenerated character and quest follow at the end of this post.
Examples of rooms can be found in yesterday's post here.
Examples of rooms can be found in yesterday's post here.
Some of my favorite actions and responses from the Cavern Quest series:
Action: D-13: Throw holy water into the cave as you rush past the opening.
Result: D-13: You are splashing holy water on a red dragon who is not amused. It breathes on you, and in the melee that follows you take further damage before killing it. Mark off 10 points damage, and find an opal hidden in the back of the cave.
At first the voices are unclear, but soon they are louder and closer, and you recognize the speech of orcs. There seems to be at least three of them. They sound as if they are approaching the room at a walk and are unaware of your presence.
Preparation: G-1: Quickly put on the shirt and pants, and strike a pose as if you belong there.
Result: G-1: Nice try. Apparently you correctly guessed that the things in the closet are used by the orcs' jester. But the jester is an orc, not a half-elf, and the other orcs are only fooled for a minute. Deduct 2 points from any damage taken in combat
The opal appears to be merely sitting on a velvet pad about 18 inches inside the wall. Next to the opal and the pad is a liquid-filled hole wide enough to allow the opal to drop into it. If you aren't careful it appears likely the opal could fall into the hole and be lost. You carefully push a pebble into this hole — and it immediately dissolves, along with the tip of the sword you were pushing it with.
Action: K-13: Reach in and take out the opal using your hand.
Result: K-13: Congratulations! Sometimes it doesn't pay to be overly cautious. You grab the opal with no problem.
Visible inside it are four sets of glowing red eyes, each about two feet above the ground. These seem to be moving towards you. As you prepare to take action, you hear scuttling noises coming from the darkness
Action: H-15: Get out your holy symbol and order the eyes away
Result: H-15: So now you're a cleric? Anyway, fire beetles aren't smart enough to know what a holy symbol is. Take 3 points damage in melee, then find an opal on a table in their lair.
Guidelines for Room Creation
- The ruleset is OSRIC/1st Edition
- You should write a room description including the approach. There should be both obfuscated clues and red herrings in the room description (see the examples from yesterday, also reference the articles on Red Herrings, Why and What).
- There should be 4-6ish preparation options. Some of these options may be useless. Some may only have a use dependent on the action chosen. They should be based on the character inventory, spells, and magic items. These should be things like casting spells, drinking potions, and readying weapons. They should modify results of the actions below. (Using an edged weapon against skeletons? Take 2 more damage. etc.)
- There should be 4-6ish action options. Resolution of these options is not random. There should usually be an option to bypass the room, and several approaches for fighting the occupants or dealing with the setup.
- Thief skills are handled in the following ways. Hear noise will only be useful in 1 out of 4 situations in which it may be useful, meaning the preparation result of listening will result in "You don't hear anything" 75% of the time. Opening locks and hiding in shadows will always succeed. Only the most difficult traps will cause the roll to fail, and clues to that should probably be in the room description. Picking pockets should be a slight of hand option to grab something when bypassing the room which should usually work.
- Put in values for damage and such that seem reasonable. I will adjust them to be balanced once the final room count is determined. 1 or 2 points is a good amount to sacrifice for a gem or stone, 3-4 points is the cost of an aggressive or poor decision, and making the clearly wrong choice (fireball at an iron golem?) should cost 5-10
- Coolness and creativity trumps these options.
- In general each room should focus on one trick, monster, or OSR ideal.
The Quest
Ostensibly, you are a holy man. Though your father noted you had the appropriate lust for gold that every able bodied dwarf should have, your criminal tendencies depressed him greatly. He drank heavily until there was a terrible accident at work. He did not survive the fall, and the entombment was closed casket.
You made your living robbing and stealing from foreign visitors, until caught and punished and forced to enter the clergy. This worked out well for all the parties involved, because during seminary you discovered the glory of Abbathor, dwarven god of appreciation of the beauty of gems and metals. What your teachers didn't know, were the secret rites you found that told you of Abbathor's true glory -- that those gems and metals are best admired when they are taken from the hands of another.
Your righteous greed has begun to worry your fellow priests, which is just as well. Recently a dwarven expedition has broken into the Tomb of Barkaresh. Barkaresh was an ancient and deviant dwarf who had elven blood and was said to be consorter with ancient serpents, men, and worse. He was even said to practice sorcery. Since the tomb has been opened a series of disasters has befallen your clan.
Your academic colleagues have determined that to calm his ancient spirit, you must acquire four dwarven spirit stones and perform a rite in his final resting place. You have agreed to do this, even though your "peers" deem it a suicide mission, because of the legendary set of perfect gemstones Barkaresh was said to have acquired. You have prayed long on the subject and Abbathor your god has made it quite clear that it is your destiny to loot this tomb. You figure you'll perform the rite to put Barkaresh to rest, because you don't want any problems from his spirit once you rob him blind.
The gap in the wall looms before you. You step in, uncertain of what danger awaits.

The writer, Sinan Aral, and his colleagues analyzed major true and false stories spread on Twitter from 2006 to 2017. Their data included approximately 126,000 Twitter "cascades" (unbroken chains of retweets with a common, singular origin) involving stories spread by three million people more than four and a half million times. The results?
"Disturbingly, we found that false stories spread significantly more than did true ones. We found that human behavior contributed more to the differential spread of truth and falsity than bots did."
People do love to gossip and spread sensational "news"! It feels like harmless fun, until it happens to you. I've been the recipient of hurtful, nasty gossip online. For example, a disgruntled client created a website in my name and posted lies about me. He paid for the website for ten years in the hopes of destroying my psychology practice. Trust me, there is no legally expedient way to stop this practice. However, he eventually tired of hosting the website and let the URL lapse. I decided to buy the URL so that it couldn't be used again for nefarious purposes, but found that I couldn't buy my own name back unless I wanted to pay a "premium." Apparently the group in Brazil who now owns my name thinks it's a hot property! (You can read more in my new book, WHEN EMPATHY FAILS: How to stop those hell-bent on destroying you.)
When you hear "news" that you're tempted to share, why not ask yourselves these three questions before you spread it…
- Is it true?
- Is it necessary?
- Is it kind?
You'll, at the very least, buy yourself some time to think about the consequences, before you act. While there are cases of people being sued for retweeting a false, defamatory story, common human decency should be enough to motivate us to refrain from spreading lies, because we recognize the hurt they cause. But maybe that's the problem - human decency isn't so common anymore.
Human decency stems from the quality of empathy. The hardships of life can cause us to become callused to the feelings of others. Would you like to increase and enhance you ability to display empathy? You'll find practical tips in my book, WHEN EMPATHY FAILS: How to stop those hell-bent on destroying you.
If you'd like my personal help, and you live near Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA, please contact my Jantzen Beach office and schedule an appointment. I also offer online therapy if that's convenient for you.

The DJI manifold has been presented as the new revolution for drones, a new concept for 500$ which does exactly the same as Erle-Brain 2 (217$) does, but doubling the price.
This new board is nothing new when compared to other existing embedded platforms including the sole novelty of having support for Snappy Ubuntu Core, something that many others have done already. Manifold seems to be a Jetson TK1-like board with slight some modifications and extra I/O (note that the Jetson TK1 costs $192 https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/buy/jetson-tk1-devkit).
When compared to Erle-Brain 2 -the new artificial brain to make robots and drones from Erle Robotics-, briefly we note that:
- although Manifold has a relevant amount of computational resources, the device is not capable of being an autopilot thereby it needs to come together with another solution.
- Its power consumption is 5 times what Erle-Brain 2 requires
- Manifold doesn't include any onboard sensor while Erle-Brain 2 has more than 10 sensors together.
- Erle-Brain 2 powers different drones with different frames and configurations and it even goes beyond flying vehicles giving life to boats, rovers, spiders, …
Manifold is only valid for the DJI Matrice ($3500+) drone and it has a non-official USB connector.
- Erle-Brain 2 can have an onboard camera and is officially supported by the Dronecode Foundation.
- Price-wise, there's a big difference and if anyone were to use a good solution with more computational power than the one offered by Manifold would highly likely make use of a combination of a ready-to-fly solution such as Erle-Brain 2 with something like a Jetson TK1.

Male Athlete of the Year: Making the right decisions
When Rosemount senior Austin Eliason was a freshman he had to make a difficult decision that would affect the next four years of his life.
Eliason had played soccer as long as he could remember. But several friends were trying to influence him to play football for the Irish.
"It was a tough year for me in soccer," Eliason recalled this week. "I was not really feeling good about it, from the standpoint that I thought I should have been on varsity. I was one of those borderline guys and didn't make it."
After wrestling with the decision, Eliason stayed with soccer. As a sophomore he made the varsity squad and was part of a state tournament-qualifying team. He has been an integral member of the boys soccer team for the past three years.
Eliason also has been on the Rosemount boys track and field team since he was a freshman.
Adding to a stellar career with strong senior seasons for the soccer and track and field teams, Eliason has been named the Town Pages Male Athlete of the Year.
Irish boys soccer coach Mike Floersch believes the decision Eliason made as a frustrated ninth-grader exemplifies why he has earned this year's award.
"The athleticism is a given," Floersch said. "He does his job. It's his effort, but more than that, he's coachable. He's a leader by example on and off the field.
"For me, it's also the fact that he had a chance to play football and decided to stick it out and play soccer. As a head coach, you look back at someone like that who had a choice and even when we didn't have the strongest team, he was there and really stepped up.
"He can be proud of what he accomplished. Being a leader isn't always about wins and losses. He gave it all he could. He never quit and he pushed every single game."
He finished this season as one of the team's most valuable players, and was an all-conference selection.
"I honestly think he was an all-state player. Unfortunately I think our record didn't allow him to get the recognition he deserved," Floersch said.
Things came a little easier for Eliason in track.
He was the rare freshman to compete on the varsity team and has been a part of a state championship. He is one of the top sprinters in the state this season.
"Austin obviously has talent," Rosemount boys track and field coach Jay Hatleli said. "He also has a very high athletic IQ. He has a knack for elevating his performance to the level of the competition, and to match the significance of the moment.
"We would not have achieved the team successes we've had over the last three years without him."
His personal success in track has allowed Eliason to continue running after high school.
He has earned a scholarship to Minnesota State University-Mankato, and will compete during the indoor and outdoor seasons as a sprinter for the Mavericks.
Eliason was surprised to win the Town Pages Male Athlete of the year. He didn't expect his two-sport career to earn the award
"I didn't play three sports," Eliason said. "Usually it goes to three-sport athletes. It means something, and it shows all the hard work has paid off, all the summer training for soccer and then all the winter training for track. I didn't think people noticed all the work I put in, and this shows that they did."

The battle will test not only the financial wherewithal of each of the four networks, but their promotional and marketing capabilities as well.
"Anybody can buy coverage. If you have deep enough pockets, you can seduce any station," said a senior Big 3 network executive. "The trick is how successfully you can market your affiliate's local brand identity."
While CBS was hardest hit by the affiliate raid, Black Rock appears to have a particular expertise in establishing that kind of identity for weak stations.
In September 1990, when ABC raided WHAS, a strong VHF CBS affiliate in Louisville, Ky., CBS was left with a weak UHF station, WLKY, then in last place.
In one year, CBS repositioned WLKY and made it the No. 1 station in the market with ratings higher than even CBS' national average.
Last week, CBS was already developing a similar marketing strategy for the eight markets where Fox raided its affiliates, with particular emphasis on five key cities-Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Atlanta and Tampa, Fla.
"We will throw a lot of firepower into those markets," said George Schweitzer, exec VP-marketing and communications at CBS.
Mr. Schweitzer wouldn't disclose details, but said the effort will be a comprehensive "brand identity program" that will include tours by major CBS stars in each market and a barrage of promotional spots.
"We're going to let the viewers know that we've simply moved to a different aisle in the supermarket," he said.
He added the new affiliates will also benefit from a new national promotion strategy CBS will unveil at its affiliates conference June 1 to 3 in Los Angeles.
Instead of running the traditional 15-and 30-second promo spots, Mr. Schweitzer said, CBS will bunch its promo time into :60s, :90s and :120s to create "samples" of programming that might appeal to loyal viewers of the other networks.
Mr. Schweitzer said CBS will use a proprietary media planning model to identify when heavy viewers of the other networks tune in to watch their favorite CBS shows, at which point they will receive the "samples."

- Drupal seems to be a good tool to use
- There are a lot of different themes to choose from and finding one that suits your site means spending time scrolling through a bunch.
- Having a clear site plan is necessary.
- The course itself is well laid out and works well on Moodle as a delivery platform, with the exception of the forums which I find sterile and asynchronous.
- I feel like I'm skimming the surface of the topics - in order to get the work done in the week assigned. I tend to jump through the hoops without any deep reflection or investigation on why/why not things work.
- It was good to have some others doing the course IRL with me - as I said, the forums didn't really work for me. I'm used to the immediacy of Twitter I think. It probably doesn't help that the rest of the class participants were asleep when I was awake, plus a day behind us.
- Others in the class have done some amazing stuff which makes me feel meh, but I just don't have the time to commit to digging deeper.

Transcription: Introduction to Final Cut Pro 7
Hello, welcome to your first lesson of Final Cut Pro.0000
So, before we get into it. Let me show you how this all works using lesson files.0005
Let me pull up a finder render here.0011
Why do not you download lesson files? They are kind of organized in this way.0012
We have Final Cut Pro lessons and there are two folders in that folder.0016
There are assets and there are project files.0020
The more you keep your projects organized and your assets, the easier it is to float your project.0023
So, in project files we have lessons 1 through 10. Here is a test folder.0028
So each folder has its own project file.0034
And the assets folder is structured in a way so we have audio, images, our renders and we have video.0039
So, we are going to be referencing from these folders to our project.0047
So, let us jump over to Final Cut.0051
Once it is opened there is a project here.0054
It is a documentary that I have been working on and it is basically about the LARPing community.0057
LARPing stands for Live Action Roleplaying and they are just different call for characters.0064
You can see all sorts of footage here.0070
We have wide shots, close-ups. We have interviews.0073
You will be able to take the footage.0077
Now, you can use your own footage if you would like and follow along.0079
Or you can use the footages that I have provided for you.0083
So, feel free to pick at it, look at it, move stuff around.0086
But there are different styles of editing and it really depends on the kind of person you are.0090
If you want to be real technical and tight you can go that route.0095
Or you can be, sort of, loose and natural, move things around, sort of feel it out. That is fine too.0099
You are going to basically learn how to decide on what dictates your story.0104
You would like to start to some music?0110
Do you want to start with a narrative story, a script?0111
Whatever it is, we are going to get in there and show you how to edit in each project.0115
We are going to build a project from scratch.0122
You are going to learn how to import the audio, the video, keep your project organized along the way.0126
We can build different sequences.0131
We have all sorts of ways we can customize your project.0134
Whether it is coloring tabs or the way you want to view things.0139
For instance, here is the project window.0143
In this folder we have our video folder.0146
And if you hold down control click.0149
And you want to view these, not as a list but as large icons.0151
You can see that you have all your footage in here.0155
You can scroll through it all. You can view them as small icons.0158
So, we are just going to get in there and sort of show you how to move these clips and audio around.0164
You are going to learn how to use the viewer slug window here.0171
Where we can sort of pre edit a clip before it goes on to the main timeline.0176
If you double-click this here you can see this piece footage here.0181
You can also edit right in the timeline.0185
Somebody would like to edit in the viewer window here.0190
So, we are going really get into it here and learn how to edit and put a story together.0194
Whether it is a feature film or just some home videos you are going to be a pro by the end of this. I guarantee you.0198
So, thanks for watching educator.com. I will see you in the next lesson.0204

I also want to dedicate this little piece of work to all my fab friends out there who have been such a tremendous support to me these past few weeks.........you know who you are!!!
I started off by wet-felting, added more by hand needle-felting, then finished it off with flowers, stitching and beads.
It says....... 'A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words'.

Plea to reduce children's injuries from falling furniture
An emergency specialist at Brisbane's Mater Children's Hospital is urging parents to test furniture for stability before buying it.
It is estimated 16 children present at Queensland hospitals each week after accidents involving home furniture and appliances.
The State Government has today launched a DVD showing parents how to make their homes safer.
Dr Ruth Barker says the biggest cause of child injuries is televisions and TV cabinets tipping over.
"The sorts of injuries we see are nasty crush injuries, chest compression, abdominal organ compression," she said.
"The thing that really tends to kill the children is bad head injuries, and it's just devastating when it happens.
"Your life can be ticking along beautifully one minute, you think everything's fine and the next minute, you hear a big thump and your child's beneath the furniture."
Queensland's Office of Fair Trading says furniture and appliance manufacturers have a role to play in making products safer for children.
Dave Strachan from the product safety unit says educating parents is only part of the solution.
"There'll be a range of actions and interventions being done, including things like ongoing standards development," he said.
"There is an Australian standard available for industry and we'll be promoting the use of that over the next two years.
"There's potential for regulatory changes if the level of voluntary compliance is unacceptable."

When it comes to email marketing, fast and cheap marketing services are invaluably vital to your company or business's success. However, many effective email services charge monthly or yearly fees, generally overpriced.
A select few services, meanwhile, do offer services that stay free with a large limit, meaning that, in most cases, the amount of email marketing that you plan on sending within a given time period would stay within the confines of the "free" amount provided by that company.
Here are some of the best free email marketing services from around the web…
If you are interested in finding out more about email marketing we recommend trying out the FREE tutorials at the Wealthy Affiliate. Read our full review on their services HERE
1) MailChimp
(The Forever Free Plan)
MailChimp is a great email marketing service for anyone who has a relatively small database of clients. It is also one of the longest standing email marketing services, having been in operation since 2001. Typically, a client base of 2,000 contacts or fewer is perfect for the Forever Free plan that MailChimp offers.
They also offer a risk free plan within the Forever Free plan; in essence, it means that you do not need a credit card to sign up, and your account can be cancelled at any point should you choose to do so.
Additionally, the plan is designed so that it never expires – as long as you stay within the confines of the free plan, you won't have to worry about eventually having to pay a fee. With this amazing plan, you receive 12,000 emails per month completely free, or roughly six emails per client per month (if your client base is at the suggested 2,000 client limit).
Like most email marketing service companies, there is an upgrade option, which can be done from the account easily. Of course, they restrict a few basic features of a standard elite email marketing service, including spam filters and auto responses to emails that are sent back to you. However, these functions are merely added bonuses to a payed plan, and are in no way vital to your company's email marketing plan.
Every email sent via MailChimp is displayed with the MailChimp logo as a footer on the email (in the free plan, but it is removed with the premium plan). This should not be a major concern, but it is still worth noting in case it is a big concern for you or your company. If your client base well exceeds these free limits but you still wish to stick with MailChimp, then the premium plan certainly seems like a viable option.
2) Benchmark Email
(The Free for Life Plan)
A relatively small company based in California, Benchmark Email nevertheless offers an outstanding free email marketing program for individuals whose business may fall into that category.
While their 10,000 monthly free email limit does fall short of MailChimp's 12,000 free email limit, they offer all of their added benefits under the free plan without needing to subscribe to a premium plan (like MailChimp), so you don't miss out on the benefits that Benchmark Email has to offer.
These benefits are very useful and are very unique to a free email database. The first benefit includes the options for additional email templates, which will surely help your emails stand out above the crowd, and help attract new subscribers and keep old ones.
Included as well is the ability to track email statistics, so you can see whom your emails reach, how effective they are in their delivery, and even how to communicate with your expanding client base more efficiently.
Last but certainly not least, the third major benefit is the ability to create online surveys. This final benefit is essentially limitless in its usage, because you can create surveys on basically any topic that you wish!
See what customers like and don't like about your emails, and use that information to improve your email delivery. The only major downside is that you can not build your contacts with preexisting contact information unless they subscribe to your signup forum.
Naturally, this can become a major hassle, and for a recent start-up, it provides added pressure to quickly and successfully establish a new clientele. Carefully consider this if you are a recently founded company with a small, fragile client base.
3) ActiveCampaign
(Free Email Marketing Campaign Plan)
Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, this company was founded back in 2003, and has developed a sizable and loyal fan base ever since. Much like MailChimp's free email marketing service, the free subscription is limitless and does not expire.
Like Benchmark Email, ActiveCampaign's free plan offers the same features as any paid plan. Basically, the biggest and only major advantage of upgrading to a premium plan with ActiveCampaign would be to increase the number of monthly emails and clients to send information to.
Their free plan offers the ability to send emails to up to 2,500 contacts, the most of any free email marketing services today. You also get access to their crisp, clean format, as well as their expanding variety of email templates and the ability to create custom forms.
Also, there is no credit card needed to sign up, meaning that there is virtually no risk of trying ActiveCampaign out! If you are looking for a user friendly layout for your new business, and are looking to quickly and effectively grow your new or small business, this is a great way to do so. Overall, ActiveCampaign's free email marketing service options rival any other ones on today's market, and should very well satisfy a business owner.
The Best Free Email Marketing Service
Overall, there are many email marketing service options on the market, but unfortunately, many of them depend greatly on premium subscribers, meaning that reaching your best content and most expansive email client lists are greatly contingent on shelling out a massive sum of money, even though it is unnecessary to do so.
These three options – MailChimp, Benchmark Email, and ActiveCampaign – offer many, if not all, of these generally premium benefits for free.
Whether you are a new or small business looking to expand your client base and satisfy your current client bases, or are simply looking to reduce your costs, the free options that each of these companies offer are good enough to put them atop the best free email marketing services today.

A world before history, a land of legends and those who write them. The battle between man and the titans that walk his earth. Most live in small villages safely nestled within the developed lands of the Guild. Yet there are those still outside the net of civilization. Deep in the wilds people eke out lives, mining, logging and of course hunting monsters. The omni-present Guild holds humanity together in small bastions in the wilds. The guild supplies these towns with Hunters which can protect them from the beasts which ravage the lands as well as bring down the beasts for their valuable skins and horns.
You are a Hunter, your new home is Kartou Village, a located on Kartou Island. The islanders have lived here for years battling the elements and fighting the beasts as best they could. Their petition for Guild support finally went through with the discovery of several rare species as well as strange mutations on known species. This could not have happened at a better time, the Kartou had just been ravaged by a huge storm and tsunami. It is going through a period of rebuilding…And you have just started your career here as a Hunter.
It will be up to you and your peers to help Kartou gain renown and respect. But first you will need to get it back on its feet. The town is mostly destroyed and will rely on everyone villager and hunter alike to rise from its shallow grave.

Photographer's blindstamp on bottom recto of mount. Titled in contemporary light pencil on bottom recto of mount,
Born in England in 1812, John Brampton Philpot resided in Florence, Italy from about 1850 until his death in 1878.
In 1856 Philpot made 30 calotypes which record the sculpted figures of the Tuscan "Pantheon" in the exterior niches of the Uffizi. A series of 28 calotypes of Florence date from the same period, for four of these were exhibited in 1856 at the Photographic Society of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Also in the 1850s Philpot produced facsimiles of drawings in the Uffizi in connection with a proposal to compile an inventory of the collection. Baedeker mentioned this aspect of Philpot's production in his 1877 Handbook for Northern Italy, listing Philpot's business as one of the principal photographic establishments in Florence: "Philpot & Co., Borgo Ognissanti 17 (reproductions of Uffizi drawings)." The blindstamp here lists an earlier address for Philpot at "Lungo L Arno 1187, Firenze".
Philpot also exhibited at the Firenze Esposizione Italiana in 1861, which may be where Harrison saw his work.
Provenance: old collection of J. Harrison, Jr. purchased in 1861.
The Loggia dei Lanzi, also called the Loggia della Signoria, is a building on a corner of the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy, adjoining the Uffizi Gallery. It consists of wide arches open to the street, three bays wide and one bay deep. The arches rest on clustered pilasters with Corinthian capitals. The wide arches appealed so much to the Florentines, that Michelangelo even proposed that they should be continued all around the Piazza della Signoria.
Shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania buyers must pay appropriate local sales tax. International clients are responsible for their VAT and other custom's oriented charges.
Price $4,000

Driving TestMonday, December 13th, 2010
It's been a few years since the Mayor opened up his driving handbook to refresh himself on the rules and regulations of the road. When faced with the question, "are you allowed to stay behind this bike?", the Mayor can honestly say he's not sure what the proper procedure is?
I do know one thing for certain: the young lady on the bike should be wearing a helmet. It would be a shame if something happened and she fell off her bike and cracked open her melon.
We, as global citizens, must protect women and their melons. The Mayor of Mitchieville vows from this day forward that he will do whatever it takes to help women and their melons.
Women and their melons are our future.
Help The Mayor help women and their melons.

Reading the forums can answer most peoples questions unless you have some rather odd ones (most questions asked are very commonly asked).
The only thing to fear is the fear itself

This month, I am giving away a 20mm WW2 Soviet bundle.
A while back I bought the Italeri JSU-152 box set that came with two kits in it: one for a "standard" model, and one for a quick-build "wargamer's" model. After examining both kits, I decided to build the standard kit and give away the quick-build kit.
You get a complete kit in single sprue, depicted above, plus some decals that came in the box. To save on postage I am sending the sprue in a padded envelop, with the box collapsed.
I have also included a couple of sprues from Zvezda, being:

On October 17, Century 21 Kevin B. Brown relaunched its Website, with a twist: When a user visits c21nyc.com to run a search for, say, one-bedroom apartments in a given price range, the site offers not only Brown's listings but also links to all his competitors'. Brown had created what amounts to a makeshift multiple-listing service, in almost the only American city without one. Sounds like a good thing, right? Not in the vicious world of Manhattan realty. Within 24 hours, we got a call from another firm questioning the wisdom of our actions, says Brown, the firm's principal. Within days, his links were blocked by Brown Harris Stevens, Warburg Realty, and Halstead.
To date, every formal attempt to start an MLS in New York has ended in squabbles. (The Manhattan Association of Realtors has a system, but most of the big firms don't participate; brokers have a private network called ROLEX.) To see everything, buyers and sellers would have to visit hundreds of Websites. We're supposed to be a service industry, says Brown. Why should you have to go on a treasure hunt?
Why, indeed. Exclusive listings are coveted assets, and agents don't split commissions if buyers come straight to them rather than through a rival broker. Moreover, since final sale prices aren't posted, owners have little information. This lack of transparency is a ruthless agent's dream. Say a property's worth $1.2 million, explains Jeff Wolk, co-founder of Fenwick-Keats. A broker would say, You can get $1.4 million.' [The owners] would immediately like that broker because they're being told what they want to hear. Three or four months go by, the price is cutand [that broker still] has the exclusive.
But, as Webheads always said, information wants to be free. Warburg's president, Frederick Peters, notes that nearly everyone posts ads on newyorktimes.com, and New York's site conducts multiple-Website searches as well. As for Brown's claim that he's only trying to help consumers, I'm sure he knew, says Peters, that making his site a portal to mine with an explanation that buyers could use his agents to view my listings, while perfectly legal, would not make me enthusiastic.
Malcolm in Manhattan Is this a clue to the fate of Fox's critically acclaimed but perennially underviewed Malcolm in the Middle? Sources say the show's lead, Frankie Muniz, has recently been spotted apartment-hunting in the East Village. (He lives in L.A., where the series is shot.) Apparently, the 19-year-old actor has taken a shine to Astor Place, Charles Gwathmey's curvy luxury development, where he's seriously considering the purchase of a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath for himself and his fiancée, Jamie Gandy. (They met in New Orleans earlier this year while filming his not-yet-released thriller, Stay Alive.) According to the building's Website, three-bedroom apartments have spa baths, media rooms, and far-from-middling views from three exposures. No word yet on where Muniz, a car buff, will keep his wheels if he decides to head east. His brokers, Michele Kleier and her daughters Samantha and Sabrina, declined to comment.
Triple Assessment
229 East 79th Street, Apartment 7B
800-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath co-op.
Asking Price: $675,000.
Maintenance: $867.
Broker: Lauren Cangiano, Halstead Property.
Ambitious asking prices are so eight months ago. And just before this co-op came up for sale, an apartment in the same line of the building had its price cut to $685,000that's how Cangiano came up with such a modest number. Besides, she adds, it's caution for the market right now. But her fellow brokers are more optimisticsometimes six figures more so.
Julie Friedman, Bellmarc: It's a comfortable but modest building with value in its low maintenance, says Friedman. Traditionally, prewar one-bedrooms come with air-shaft views, and this is bright and sunny. [But] you need someone with vision to see beyond the older widow' décor.
Her assessment: $800,000.
Dorothy Schrager, Warburg Realty: I like it. I might have someone for it, says Schrager. It's very difficult to find a one-bedroom in a prewar building in this neighborhood that allows for pied-à-terres, and there's value in that.
Her assessment: $849,000.
Joan Finkelstein, Fox Residential: Even though it's prewar, the space isn't grand. It doesn't have a sunken living room or a fireplace, says Finkelstein. But it does have original beams and high ceilings.
Her assessment: $725,000.
