Résumé : Here we introduce the first integrated study of stable isotopes (carbon and nitrogen) of plant and faunal remains and functional weed ecology from Mediterranean France. Animal bones and charred crops and weeds are investigated from two archaeologically distinct residential areas from 5th century BCE Lattara, zones 1 and 27, during a period characterised by significant urban expansion in the region. Plant carbon and nitrogen isotope composition and functional weed ecology suggest some differences in growing conditions between crops found in the two zones, zone 27 being associated with more intensively cultivated crops than zone 1, where extensive cultivation, which can achieve much greater surplus, was dominant. These findings coincide with archaeological evidence of a 'richer' variety of material culture and foodstuffs in zone 1. Carbon and nitrogen isotopic values of animal bone collagen suggest that the main domesticates from both zones consumed a similar diet; however, rabbits exhibit a difference, with those from zone 1 having significantly higher δ15N, implying that the two zones sourced this species differently.

TheHardTackle reviews the I-League transfers involving TFA Cadets
AIFF, under the guidance of FIFA, will set-up regional and elite academies across India, and it will look towards the already established academies in India to serve as designated feeder schools for its regional academies. TheHardTackle takes a look at few such schools of football development in Indian Football.
Tata Football Academy is undoubtedly the best football Academy in Indian currently. Over the years their contribution to Indian National Team is comparable to Ajax Amestardam's effect on the Dutch National Team. A big reason behind TFA's incredible success rate was Mr Ranjan Chowdhury, a man credited with developing some of the best Indian players in recent times. TheHardTackle brings an exclusive interview of Mr Chowdhury

This post by Good Palpations makes you think about Life and about death – but more than that it made me think about the dash between those two things that happen to us all "Life -dash – Death" fill your life up – help each other and look out for others as well as yourself – tell people how you really feel – and find out how others really feel too – you never know ………. Thankyou Heather you've made me think 🌟
Dumbing down the science as much as possible, I will tell you that the "colour" black isn't a colour at all; it downright refuses to reflect any of the colours that light bounces against it. Rams all the colour into it and keeps it for itself. Greedy black.
So Black Friday is well named, isn't it really? Judging by recent footage people are rammed into a small space and greedily grab as much as they can carry.
I used to work as a customer service assistant at The Bear Factory (now Build-a-Bear) – yes it was as awesome as it sounds…until it was very, very crowded and people lost sight of the fact that they were getting cross about pricing ON A FOOTBALL KIT FOR A BEAR. In a buzzing crowd, it's easy to lose perspective, I guess.
Perspective: this is one of my friends from school, bright, enthusiastic…

Jaguars long snapper Carson Tinker is out for the season after sustaining a torn right ACL in Wednesday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports.
Tinker was placed on injured reserve Thursday and the Jaguars signed long snapper Matt Overton.
The Jaguars also waived/injured tailback I'Tavius Mathers on injured reserve and signed guard Malcolm Bunche. If Mathers clears waivers, he will be placed on injured reserve.
Tinker was participating in non-contact special teams drill when he appeared to either get tangled up with a teammate or took a wrong step. Tinker, a 2013 undrafted free agent who had not missed a regular season game in four years, will soon undergo surgery.

Author: J.R. Gray
Release Date: 25 February, 2018 Price: $3.97
Reviewed by Jacy
Cover Art: A black, white and grey cover featuring a male with his head turned to the side. He has a dark beard, dark hair and a dark stocking cap. His t-shirt is pulled up and to the side, revealing a nice six pack and extremely low riding jeans with a black belt.
Synopsis: The blurb gives an insight to the depth of the story. The author's note shows the emotional struggle it must have taken to put this story into words. The only thing I might suggest is to add that it could be an emotional trigger.
Plot: Titus has been chosen to be the next in line to lead his church, however he feels unworthy. The two men work toward trusting each other but there are broken trusts.
Main Characters:
Titus- heir to the Prophet, his Grandfather
Angel- found beaten and alone
Secondary Characters: There are more characters who add to the angst and credibility of the story.
Flow/Continuity: This is a detailed story that holds you to the end. The intimate scenes fit where they are placed.
Conflict & Climax: Titus' conflict is within himself and in becoming aware of his surroundings as well as his religion.
Editing/Formatting: There aren't any typos and chapter headings are clearly marked.
Priced: Comparable to new releases. This story is worth it.
Conclusion: This is an intense story which is powerfully written. It shows you don't have to accept your life the way it is, you can make a choice for change. Be brave and take charge of your life. There are consequences, so you have hard decisions to make.
This is about more than a religion as it feels like a cult. There is a sadness, terror looming overhead, and the underlying threat against anyone leaving. This story has a truth most don't feel comfortable in giving this much physical and emotional detail.

Political parties have to fundraise, we all get that. And I for one don't want to return to the per vote subsidy, where taxpayers funded political operations directly.
But the current tactics being used by the Liberals are kinda sketchy, raise plenty of ethical questions and make the government look like they are for sale, and cheap.
The current donation limit is $1500. Are you going to buy a change in government policy for that kind of money? No.
But WATCH my special report what that kind of money can buy.
Both the Globe and the reliably left wing publication The Tyee have reported on the story of Chinese-Canadian businessman Miaofei Pan, who dined with China's premier and then hosted 80 people at his home at $1500 a head.
Pan says he discussed the need for Chinese investment including in senior care. Why is that important?
Because the Trudeau government is currently reviewing a proposal that would see a Chinese company make a massive investment in a chain of British Columbia retirement and nursing homes, making the Chinese company a major player in the delivery of health care in that province…
And of course we can't forget the guy who wanted approval for a new bank, went to the Liberal fundraiser attended by the PM, donated $200,000 to the Trudeau Foundation and then spent $50,000 to erect a statue of Pierre Trudeau.
If you think this stinks to high heaven, you are right. It does.
It is cash for access and it has no business in our politics.

Wow- I am super excited to be the guest designer today. I saw the cute little images from Digital Delights and I just fell in LOVE with this cute little mouse image with the latte! I thought the sentiment was just too funny for him!! I don't know what I would do without my morning caffeine jolt to get me started!! I used the sketch this week for the my layout.
Crystal used Cappuccino Pippin
I am a sahm to 4 cuties ages 4-8 and a wife to my DH for 13 years. I was first introduced to stamping through my neighbors stampin' party, I bought a couple of things and was completely overwhelmed when I received it so I shoved everything under my bed and forgot about it for about a year and a half until I was invited to another party and well the rest is history!! My obsession with stamping and scrapbooking has slowly transformed "the computer" room to a "stamp room" as I slowly pushed my DH's desk into a smaller and smaller area of the room. I haven't pushed him out of the room though (yet!) LOL!! He puts up with me and understands my obsession- Man, I love him. I love my addiction to this craft and how I can combine it to preserve memories of my kids and make someone smile with a card.
Thanks so much Crystal for being part of our Team for the Day. Your design us just darling ad what a fun sentiment. If you'd like to see more of Crystals work, visit her blog at The Messy Stamper!!
See you all tomorrow with some more fun happenings!!

…and now for another post about new music.
Nick Frater, Croydon's resident power-pop maestro, recording nerd and chord-sequence genius, has released a new record, Full Fathom Freight Train, which you can download from Bandcamp, stream/download in all the usual places or buy on 12-inch from his website.
Nick makes music in the vein of Paul McCartney, Harry Nilsson, Eric Carmen and Todd Rundgren, or their Gen-X disciples like Matthew Sweet and Jellyfish: expansive, frequently irregularly structured pop that's enlivened by harmonically adventurous chord seqeuences that allow his melodies to go to surprising places. There's always the sense that they could take a hard left turn at any moment. That makes the more straightforward pieces like the lovely Andrew Gold-like Holding On to You even sweeter, and even this one has chewy surprise chords in the middle eight. I'll get him to take me through it one day.
When you listen to Nick's songs, you've always gotten well-considered arrangements that are detailed without being cluttered, and excellent musicianship from Nick and his small cast of additional players (on this record: guitarists Paul Ryan, Ian Granton and Mike Randle, drummers Tommy Shotton and Ben Handysides, vocalists Nicolai Prowse and Alex Lewis*). Full Fathom Freight Train might be his best work yet, though, sonically speaking, with its mastering job by Simon Francis and Jon Clayton-engineered drum tracks.
Frater has been remarkably productive in the last few years. Go to his Bandcamp page to catch up with his past work, including all 18 minutes of The Sombrero Fallout Suite.
Spot the Beatles ref…
Alex Lewis, Nicolai Prowse and Tommy Shotton are former members of Do Me Bad Things. Lewis and Prowse were later in the Rosemary Works, with Frater and drummer Ben Handysides. Mike Randle plays guitar in Baby Lemonade and Johnny Echols's line-up of Love, while Paul Ryan plays guitar in Super 8.

"Fury" star Shia LaBeouf, 29, is a decent actor, but has always been something of a loose cannon- and that's why people find him interesting. After sporting long shaggy hair and an unkempt beard, Shia had all the hair on his face and head shaved off. He looks a lot rougher, but pretty good. Shia's car accidents, belligerent fistfights, and arrests make one wonder about substance abuse. Unlike other guys who get their arms tattooed, Shia gets his thighs tattooed. To top it off, he alternately declares that he is Jewish or Christian. Quite a character.

lebouf is trying very hard (too hard) to distance himself from his teen acting career and the transformer franchise, he wants to be a serious actor.
ryan gosling was a musketeer and never had to resort to these shenanigans to be taken seriously as an actor.
justin gordon levitt starred in a ridiculous sitcom during his teen years but has managed to move on with his dignity intact to create interesting films in adulthood.


text: Peace Wapiti Public School Division (PWSD) is still analyzing the impact of the Provincial Budget, but one thing is clear – the numbers aren't adding up.Superintendent Sheldon Rowe says based on what he sees in the Provincial Budget, students will be affected. "Based on the information provided by the provincial government, we expect to experience an enrolment increase of 2.54 per cent, which equates to 135 students," says Superintendent Rowe. "However, our total funding is projected to increase by only $221,000. Needless to say, this increase will not cover enrolment growth and the provincially-negotiated collective agreement with teachers without a reduction in services to our students." Possible reductions could include cuts to non-teaching staff who work with and for students, and decreased services and supports for students. Class sizes will increase, students will face longer bus rides, and new schools will open without the equipment they need.Adding to the issue is the difference in enrolment projections between PWSD and Alberta Education. According to Alberta Education's projections, increases in base funding were designed to include the provincially-negotiated teachers' collective agreement. However, when increased enrolment is factored into the equation, along with the reduction in grants, the result is a $2.15 million decrease in funding, or the equivalent of approximately 22 new teachers.Board Chair Dana McIntosh echoes similar concerns."In particular, we expect this budget to significantly impact our primary and elementary students where we anticipate substantial enrolment growth. The loss of the funding will mean larger class sizes, less support staff, and fewer inclusive education supports," says Ms. McIntosh."Our high schools will also be impacted by the freeze on Credit Enrolment Units (CEU) funding. The loss of CEU funding will limit our ability to support our students' work to engage in the province's Dual Credit Strategy Program which allows students to gain post-secondary credits while attending high school," adds Ms. McIntosh.Critical to PWSD is the reduction in funding for transportation. Despite a reduction in services, the Division expects to post a $225,000 deficit in transportation in the 2014-2015 school year. The proposed $83,000 reduction in the transportation grant will further restrict PWSD's ability to transport students to school in a timely manner.Under the new budget, transfers from operating reserves will now need to be approved by the office of the Minister of Education. Like all other Boards, PWSD's reserves were developed over a number of years in response to the province's inability to provide sustainable funding. As locally elected representatives, School Boards expect to access reserve funds to best meet the needs of students."Restricting School Boards' access to their local reserves is contrary to the concept of Natural Person powers and ties the School Boards' hands as they work to develop budgets that minimize the impact on local students, classrooms and schools," says Ms. McIntosh. "As a Board, we have taken our fiduciary responsibilities to our communities very seriously. Historically, we have submitted a series of balanced budgets and would hope to continue to do so. We are very concerned by the implication that we have lost this ability for some reason, and our use of reserves will now have to be supervised by the Minister of Education's office." -30-

Ann Barnhardt has a wild edge to her, but as far as being a straight-up truth-teller regarding our current financial and cultural situation, she's like a train coming right at you. At the end of this first segment, she calls for everyone to stop paying taxes to a criminal, lawless system. I think that's a GREAT idea! Your Savings Are Being ROBBED From You | Ann Barnhardt (Part 1/2) - ENCORE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpF1N_SaefU (33:38) "You're still thinking as if the rule of law is extant, and it is NOT! It is NOT! Americans just cannot get their heads around this." "Oh, but that would involve doing math and math is hard, and we just can't be bothered about doing arithmetic, and calculating interest and comparing inflation rates and things like that. We just want to believe that the government is very smart and very kind and benevolent and good, and that government would never lie to us and that government is going to take care of us. Because we are a culture that has been castrated, has had all masculine strength bled from it, and so people especially men in this culture, and women because they're women just want to lay back and believe that someone else is going to take care of them. And we just don't want to face reality and we don't want to think about these things."

Product Features
This is our top-of-the-line, most plush pillowtop innerspring mattress. With nearly three times more natural latex cushioning than our Constancia Pillowtop Mattress, this mattress offers an even more luxurious and "cloud like" feel for soothing comfort to shoulders and hips, while still maintaining mattress support. You deserve to be this pampered...
The Jacqueline Cloud Pillowtop Mattress features our double heat tempered, Royalex 704i Innerspring System designed in Switzerland. The innerspring unit contains 85% more coils than is standard. The coils in the mattress are open ended, unknotted, six turn coils providing more flexibility, which means greater sensitivity to body contours, overall body support and relaxation.
Our skilled craftsmen hand layer the pristine, California grown, staple cotton padding on each side of the innerspring unit to ensure a consistent, supportive sleeping surface followed by a layer of Talalay natural latex for added comfort.
The inner cotton padding and latex layering is encased in durable cotton fabric and inner tufted by hand with European tufting straps to further pre-compress the padding for orthopedic back support, and to help minimize body imprints.
The attached boxed style construction pillowtop pads feature our luxurious, and breathable, Belgian 100% cotton covering quilted with layers of our chemical free, French wool followed by hypo-allergenic comfort fill for an added plush surface feel, and supported by an extra thick layer of top quality Talalay natural latex for extra cushioning and pressure point relief.
T-Spring Side Supports are installed around the perimeter of the spring system to provide edge firmness and support.

More Information
The mattress is approximately 15.5" thick, and overall mattress height to the floor on our 8" thick box spring and a 7" metal frame is about 30.5" (optional custom 6 box spring(s), or 3 to 5 thick foundations are available upon request if a lower height is desired).
1. Attached boxed style construction pillowtop
2. Belgian Cotton Ticking ventilates body heat and provides luxurious feel.
3. Chemical Free, French wool naturally provides additional ventilation and surface cushioning. Lamb's wool contains lanolin, which is a natural dust mite repellant. No synthetic dust mite allergy covers are needed.
4. Cushion of odorless and hypoallergenic Comfort Fil 7 polyester fiber padding for resiliency and extra comfort.
5. Ultra-thick layer of natural latex for incredible cushioning and luxurious comfort. Not polyurethane foam, so you have far better durability against body impressions, and much healthier material to sleep on by avoiding the toxic vapors that emit from the polyurethane foam.
6. Generous layers of staple cotton padding are hand tufted for orthopedic internal mattress support. No polyurethane foam, so durability is greatly improved, and cotton does not emit the petrochemical vapors contained in polyurethane foam that can adversely affect sensitive people.
7. Swiss designed, high coil count Royalex Innerspring System provides excellent support and increased sensitivity to body contours.
8. T-Spring Side Supports reinforce the sides of the mattress for edge to edge sleeping comfort and support.
9. Double Diamond Box Spring provides extra durable, 8 3/4 gauge box spring wiring with 22% more coils than an average "good quality" box spring, and with 50% more coils in the center-third where it's needed most. Heavy Duty, 5 Star Hotel Grade Wide Slat Wood Frame for durability and support.

3rd Annual Angel Tree Donation Event
"There were 14 total angels fulfilled this year, breaking our previous record of 12. Teams within CaseStack, as well as individual team members, come together to make Christmas special for each of our angels. Within our structure, it is our goal to provide a full Christmas for each child and to ensure they have their needs and wants met. Each child is provided with two outfits, socks and underwear, a hat, scarf and gloves, a winter coat, a pair of shoes, and the three toy items from their wish list. We understand how difficult things can be during this time of year, and we want to share a little joy with those in our community. Many team members participate in donating items and enjoy the idea of being able to sign up for a few items instead of fulfilling a whole tree. It gives them that feel good moment so many seek this time of year. That is what makes this event special, everyone has the opportunity to give back in some way." – Natasha Henslee, Senior Collections Analyst at CaseStack
All items will be dropped off to the Salvation Army Fulfillment Center in Fayetteville on Friday, December 8th.

Asked to comment on the new CD, Orban had this to say: "Following a long hiatus from music-making, and after performing again for some 20+ years now, I'd been thinking about making a record for some time. But I didn't want to just record a bunch of blues covers… I wanted to showcase something a bit more personal. That said, I'm a bit of a late bloomer. It took me a long time to even consider actually writing songs. But here they are. Some of these songs have been played and refined at shows over the last couple of years, while others were written and arranged specifically for this project."
He went on to add, "While definitely rooted in the Blues (you know, with a capital "B"), these songs are hardly what would be considered "traditional" blues… but that's fine with me; there are more than enough talented folks out there playing traditional blues music. My inspiration for these tunes has come from numerous sources: from folks like James Harman and Rick Estrin to Leigh 'Little Queenie' Harris and Seth Walker, to Bob Dylan, and even Norah Jones… along with countless nights hanging-out in the wonderful music community that can be found in Doylestown, PA. But in the end, it's all me… backed by a stellar group of musicians, who have generously tolerated – even indulged – my numerous musical idiosyncrasies. I hope you enjoy it!"
You are what you wear…
My mother always told me to be sure to wear clean underwear, in case I was ever in an accident.
I have no idea what in hell she was actually thinking about, but I can tell you this: When you look good, you feel good. That's just a fact. And there's no better way to look good than to be proudly sporting this season's hottest fashions, straight from the creative minds at the Mojo Gypsies corporate headquarters. Show your true colors, when you proudly proclaim the Red, White and Blues!
Choose from a variety of styles, each appropriate for that special someone in your life… even if that someone happens to be you!

Dell Loses Its First Senior Executive Since the Buyout
Now that computing company Dell has completed its $25 billion leveraged buyout, the first member of the company's senior executive team is headed for the door.
Sources familiar with the matter have confirmed to AllThingsD that Steve Felice, a Dell president and its chief commercial officer, will be leaving the company. His final day at Dell's Round Rock, Texas, headquarters will be in early December.
Felice has taken a job as Chairman and CEO of Filtration Group, a Chicago-based privately held company that makes industrial air and water filtration equipment. The announcement was made in an internal memo to Dell employees, but hasn't been made public yet. He'll start at his new job on Jan. 6.
I'm told Felice has a professional bucket list and one of the things on it is to be CEO of a big company. So he's leaving under his own steam. I haven't seen the internal memo yet, but I'm told it contains some quotes from CEO Michael Dell about how Felice was an important member of the executive team.
Felice is a serious Dell veteran. He joined the company back in 1999 when the PC business was humming and Dell was the company giving the entire industry competitive fits. I interviewed him last year, a few months before the whole buyout saga began.
Felice had been vice president and then later president of Dell's consumer, small and medium business group, and at one time also led its operations in Asia. He joined Dell from DecisionOne, a computer support services vendor, where he had been CEO. He was a VP at Bell Atlantic (now Verizon) and also worked at Shell Oil.
It's not uncommon for executives to leave a company after a buyout transition like the one Dell just went through. Several members of the executive team, though, such as enterprise head Marius Haas and software chief John Swainson, are pretty new and are unlikely to be going anywhere soon.
Update: I just got this statement from Dell.
As Dell begins a new chapter as a private company, Steve made a personal decision to take on the new challenge of leading a company as CEO.
Michael Dell said that Steve's "counsel, vision and insight will definitely be missed by me and the entire leadership team, and I will always be grateful for his contributions."

WALTHAM - Celtic teams of recent years always had a star in Paul Pierce. Now they have star power with Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Pierce. That power was on full display for the second time yesterday - the first being the Garden press conference on July 31 to announce the Garnett deal - and there was little doubt left that there will be a much different aura around the Shamrocks this season.
Celtic teams of recent years always had a star in Paul Pierce. Now they have star power with Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Pierce.
That power was on full display for the second time yesterday - the first being the Garden press conference on July 31 to announce the Garnett deal - and there was little doubt left that there will be a much different aura around the Shamrocks this season.
Gone will be the many eager young pups thirsting for playing time and more than willing to soak up any attention they could get. Sure, rookies Gabe Pruitt and Glen Davis were all smiles as they basked in the season unveiling for the first time. Veterans James Posey, Eddie House and Brian Scalabrine were more than willing to fill up a notebook with quips and insights.
But they were all bit players in yesterday's show that started with Pierce, Garnett and Allen walking into the Sports Authority Training Center with much the same pomp and circumstance as they did two months ago on Causeway Street.
Of the three stars, Garnett surely sparkles brightest amid the new universe. Pierce has his stature around the league, but beyond a smile that figures to show itself more often this season, folks around here have gotten used to seeing the captain's act. Allen's credentials and articulation are among the best over the last decade, but years of plying his trade in the relative outposts of Milwaukee and Seattle have not allowed his stature to keep up with his statistics.
Garnett, on the other hand, is one of the NBA's strongest presences. His presence has turned a lottery team with playoff hopes into a preseason buzz factory with championship intentions.
"Expectations for myself are to be the best, go hard and make my teammates better," he said yesterday. "I think, as a team, our expectations are going to be high."
It is something that none of the trio has experienced the past few seasons and something the three seem very thankful to be looking forward to tackling together. Doing little to dispel the notion that the musketeer act will carry through into the real season, they came out as one in Waltham yesterday, finished each other's sentences for the better part of 20 minutes, and then quickly headed off into the far corners of HealthPoint in unison.
After being the sole public face of a franchise in Minnesota for a dozen years, Garnett seems more than willing to share the spotlight with his two new runningmates in Boston.
"The three of us have carried teams," he said. "It feels great to have help, to be honest. You know that you are not always front and center in the situation. I am going to bring what I bring to the table, but it's great to know you've got two other guys who, not only have the experience, but have the know-how along with the experience.
"I'm privileged more than anything to be in the situation where I am at this point in my career," he continued "These are two very humble people and that probably makes it even more tasteful."
Garnett has known both Pierce and Allen for more than 15 years off the court and is thrilled to have now found a pair of kindred spirits on the practice floor.
"I used to think I was a little different, a little crazy, or intense, working out," Garnett revealed. "That's how I saw myself. But after talking with these two, I feel right at home because they are just as crazy as I am. It puts me a little more at ease."
The picture yesterday was the present tense of the Celtics that is unlike anything in the recent past - even if it does draw more than a few comparisons to the franchise's more distant storied history.
While the triumvirate held court, Garnett was the centerpiece of the scene - just as he will be in the eyes of many for a while to come. Surrounded by a combination of original and replica banners that commemorate 16 championships, which Garnett said were the first things he noticed upon walking into the gym earlier this month, he knows all eyes are upon he and the two men on either side of him to add to the collection.
"We are three unselfish guys," he said. "We want to win and, when you have those philosophies and communication, sky's the limit.
"We know it is important to come in and work toward this thing," he concluded. "It's something that we've talked about. We haven't proved anything. We haven't won any games. We haven't established anything. We know that it starts now."

It appears as though we are getting some traffic again (finally) in dystopia, under the Euro server of Pates, however, some is good, but I don't think we have a "stable" enough server to go through for the United States. So here is what I plan on doing...
Getting a new server up and running
I will be getting a new server up and running, based out of Chicago, its only a few bucks per month to get a sturdy 16 man server running, So I am not to worried about actually being able to not afford it. After Sludge went down for good, along with the the League server since Useful Idiot stopped paying/running the server (and Dystopia in general), this is where the majority of problems come into play. There is NO SERVERS out there now, that is stable enough to support traffic. I know we have one under Fire Elemental, but once he starts playing, we get punished by lag, along with Tom Sawyers server... Can't really do everything and anything on there. The server will be locked up for competitive play every day (pugs etc), and I will be stripping it of Underime, since it chases away alot of the newer players, along with Exodus. I love exodus and Undermine, but those two by themselves really kill the popularity of the server.
Any donations toward this to get it running, would be absolutely awesome, since we only need 20 dollars per month to run the server.
Population increase
Before 1.2 to 1.3 release, quite a few players were in-game on a regular basis, and I mean, I would go to sleep, wake up at 8 or so, and a semi-filled server would still be in existence. Now, with so many issues with the server list going down on a regular basis, I will be attempting to get a server going and get it completely populated. I have connections in between quite a few clans, and can post in their "general" forums and we might get more population that way. But, its worth a shot.
I also have a youtube account I finally opened up (I used to have one, but the way everything was going... it just kinda..shut down on me and I don't know the correct information to log in so I cant really take the videos there and redo them and make them decent.) So, I will be creating some new videos of 1.3's gameplay and relaying it to a few people I have connections with that get quite a few visitors on a regular basis, and getting him to promote the ones I have. So, if you guys have ANY good screenshots or videos that I can turn into something FANTASTIC. Please, add me on steam, upload them to mediafire or where ever, and I will do my best to get everything going.
If you guys have ANY ideas at all about what we can do to get this game revived, please do so. And I know, this may sound silly trying to get it going with 1.4 on the horizon, but honestly, that shouldnt stop us.

Cost allocation plans can be a real pain point for nonprofit professionals. So why mess with them?
For some nonprofits, the obvious answer is, "Because you have to." If you meet the threshold necessary for an annual audit, for example, having a cost allocation plan may be required. It also may be a requirement of your funding sources, particularly if you receive grants from federal, state, or local government agencies.
The not-so-obvious answer is, "Because they're good for business." Preparing and maintaining a cost allocation plan will help you understand the true cost of each of your programs and activities. Subsequently, understanding your true costs will help you fundraise for the entire amount. It also illustrates to your constituents – whether they're grantors, individual donors, or your community at large – you're being a good steward of their dollars.
So, let's take a look at the what, how, why, who, and when of cost allocation planning.
WHAT is a Cost Allocation Plan?
A cost allocation plan is a documentation of the systematic allocation of indirect or shared expenses. More simply put, it's a record of how you calculate your true costs of providing various services to your community. These indirect or shared expenses might include depreciation, occupancy costs, or even office supplies.
HOW Are Costs Allocated?
Your allocation method depends largely on your organization, and must be a reasonable representation of your underlying activities. Some common methodologies for allocating indirect costs are by square footage of your facilities or using payroll or related activities as a basis.
Square Footage – If your nonprofit's electricity bill is $1,000 per month, you can allocate that cost across your various programs, based on the square footage allotted to each. For example, if Administration is housed in 10 percent; Program A in 20 percent; Program B in 50 percent; and Program C in 20 percent; you would allocate $100 to Admin; $200 to both Program A and Program C; and $500 to Program B of this shared expense.
Payroll – If you are using payroll activities as an allocation basis, your allocations might be based on a percentage of the total time worked or the total payroll dollars expensed by your employees in each functional area.
WHY Is It Important to Have a Cost Allocation Plan?
Expenses not directly connected to a particular activity or those that benefit more than one activity in your nonprofit need to be allocated fairly and equitably across your functional and program areas.
If you over allocate expenses to a given program or funding source, you could potentially incur penalties from your grantor, who may assess you a fine or demand you pay back the over-allocated dollars. If you under allocate shared costs to a given program or funding source, you run the risk of not reporting all fully-eligible or potentially reimbursable expenses.
Without a consistently applied and documented allocation method you might inadvertently be "double dipping" by unintentionally allocating expenses to multiple funding sources; and double reporting those expenses.
WHO Develops a Nonprofit's Cost Allocation Plan?
Your nonprofit's financial officer oversees developing and maintaining your cost allocation plan. It's likely accomplished in conjunction with your executive director, and maybe even your audit committee or financial committee.
WHEN Should a Nonprofit Develop its Plan?
Your plan is typically developed and/or updated with the beginning of your fiscal year activities. Not-For-Profit Accounting says, "It generally works well to 'dump' all shared costs into cost centers – temporary holding tanks for functional areas – and then allocate them out across those functional areas on a periodic basis, usually monthly or yearly."
The "when" also depends on your funding sources, some of whom may require you to submit your cost allocation plan as part of your regular grant reporting.
Regardless, your plan is a living document and should be continually updated and understood by your finance and executive teams and readily available on demand.
The what, how, why, who, and when of a cost allocation plan are a mystery to many, but developing one is extremely important, because as Not-For-Profit Accounting states, "… done accurately and consistently, it can provide a realistic picture of what different programs and other activities cost. Your allocation method also determines the percentages of program, management and fundraising that will appear on your Form 990 and other reports – numbers that potential donors use to judge your organization's worthiness for their contributions. It is also used in cost recovery for reimbursable expenses, directly impacting your bottom line and related fundraising decisions."

One 11-man group has ownership of the football. It is known as the offense and it tries to propel the ball down the field-by running with the ball or tossing it – and score focuses by intersection the objective line and getting into a zone called the end zone.
The other group (additionally with 11 players) is known as the resistance. It tries to stop the hostile group and influence it to surrender ownership of the ball. In the event that the group with the ball scores or is compelled to surrender ownership, the hostile and guarded groups switch parts (the hostile group goes on resistance and the cautious group goes on offense). Et cetera, forward and backward, until the point that every one of the four fourth of the diversion have been played.
Keeping in mind the end goal to make it less demanding to facilitate the data in this process, the points talked about for the most part take after the request of the lead book.
The field measures 100 yards in length and 53 yards wide. Minimal white markings on the field called yard markers help the players, authorities, and the fans monitor the ball. Presumably the most vital piece of the field is the end zone. It's an extra 10 yards on each finish of the field. This is the place the focuses include! At the point when the offense – the group with ownership of the ball-takes care of business the ball into the rival's end zone, they score focuses.
Amusements are isolated into four 15-minute quarters, isolated by a 12-minute break at halftime. There are likewise 2-minute breaks toward the finish of the first and third quarters as groups change closures of the field after at regular intervals of play. Toward the finish of the first and third quarters, the group with the ball holds ownership heading into the accompanying quarter. That isn't the situation before halftime. The second half begins with a kickoff similarly as the amusement started in the main quarter.
Every hostile group has 40 seconds from the finish of a given play until the point that they should snap of the ball for the beginning of the following play, else they will be punished.
The time stops toward the finish of fragmented passing plays, when a player leaves limits, or when a punishment is called. The clock begins again when the ball is re-spotted by an authority.
In the event that a diversion is tied toward the finish of direction, a 15-minute extra time period will be played. In the NFL, this is sudden passing and the main group to score wins. Ownership is resolved before the period starts by a coin hurl.
Each group has 3 isolate units: the offense (see area beneath), those players who are on the field when the group has ownership of the ball; the safeguard (see segment underneath), players who line up to stop the other group's offense; and exceptional groups that lone come in on kicking circumstances (punts, field objectives, and kickoffs). Just 11 players are on the field from one group at any one time.
To perceive how the players line up click here
An amusement begins with the kickoff. The ball is put on a kicking tee at the guard's 30-yard line, and an extraordinary kicker (a "placekicker") kicks the ball to the offense A kick return man from the offense will attempt to get the ball and propel it by running. Where he is halted is the point from which the offense will start its drive, or arrangement of hostile plays. At the point when a kickoff is gotten in the offense's own end zone, the kick returner can either run the ball out of the end zone, or bow at last zone to flag a touchback – a sign to stop the play. The ball is then put on the 20-yard line, where the offense starts play.
To begin with DOWN
All advance in a football game is estimated in yards. The hostile group tries to get as much "yardage" as it can to attempt and draw nearer to the rival's end zone. Each time the offense kicks it into high gear the ball, it has four downs, or possibilities, in which to pick up 10 yards. In the event that the hostile group effectively moves the ball at least 10 yards, it acquires a first down, and another arrangement of four downs. In the event that the offense neglects to pick up 10 yards, it loses ownership of the ball. The resistance tries to keep the offense from scoring, as well as from picking up the 10 yards required for a first down. On the off chance that the offense achieves fourth down, it as a rule punts the ball (kicks it away). This powers the other group to start its drive additionally down the field.
MOVING THE BALL – The Run and the Pass
A play starts with the snap. At the line of scrimmage (the situation on the field where the play starts), the quarterback boisterously calls out a play in code and the player before him, the middle, passes, or snaps the ball under his legs to the quarterback. From that point, the quarterback can either toss the ball, hand it off, or keep running with it.
There are two fundamental routes for the offense to propel the ball. The first is known as a run. This happens when the quarterback hands the ball off to a running back, who at that point tries to pick up whatever number yards as could be expected under the circumstances by evading cautious players. The quarterback is additionally permitted to keep running with the ball.
The other contrasting option to running the ball is to toss it. Or on the other hand as it's been said in football, pass it! Generally, the quarterback does the passing, however there are times when another player may pass the ball to confound the guard. All things considered, anybody in all out attack mode group is permitted to pass the ball as long as the pass is tossed from behind the line of scrimmage. A pass is finished if the ball is gotten by another hostile player, more often than not the "wide collector" or "tight end." If the ball hits the ground before somebody gets it, it is called an inadequate pass.
The resistance keeps the offense from propelling the ball by conveying the ball transporter to the ground. A player is handled when either of his knees touch the ground. The play is then finished. A play likewise closes when a player comes up short on limits.
The question of the diversion is to score the most focuses. There are four approaches to score focuses in football.
A touchdown is the greatest single score in a football game. It is worth six focuses, and it permits the scoring group a chance to endeavor to get an additional point. To score a touchdown, the ball must be conveyed over the objective line into the end zone, got at last zone, or a bungle recouped at last zone, or an untouched kickoff recuperated at last zone by the kicking group.
Additional POINT and the TWO-POINT CONVERSION = 1 or 2 POINTS
Quickly following a touchdown, the ball is put at the rival's two-yard line, where the offense has two alternatives. Normally the offense will kick an additional point, likewise called the point after touchdown, transformation, or PAT. In the event that the offense effectively kicks the ball through the objective posts, it procures one point. The offense can likewise score two focuses by running or tossing the ball into the end zone in an indistinguishable way from you would score a touchdown. Since going for two focuses is more troublesome than kicking an additional point, the offense by and large kicks the additional point.
In the event that the offense can't score a touchdown, it might attempt to kick a field objective. Field objectives are worth three focuses and regularly are the choosing plays in the most recent seconds of close diversions. They can be endeavored from anyplace on the field on any down, yet for the most part are kicked from inside the guard's 45-yard line on fourth down. For a field objective to be "great", the placekicker (or field objective kicker) must kick the ball through the objective post uprights and over the crossbar. The resistance tries to obstruct the kick and prevent the ball from achieving the objective post.
Wellbeing = 2 POINTS
The wellbeing is worth two focuses. A wellbeing happens when the hostile ball bearer is handled behind his own objective line.
While endeavoring to propel the football to the end zone, the offense may inadvertently turn the ball over to the safeguard in one of two ways:
At the point when the ball bearer or passer fails, that is a bungle. Any player on the field can recuperate the ball by jumping on it or he can keep running with it. The group that recuperates a bungle either gets-or holds ownership of the ball.
A forceful safeguard can recapture ownership of the ball by discovering (capturing) passes implied for players on the other group. Both bobble recuperations and block attempts can be keep running once again into the end zone for touchdowns.
Whichever group has ownership of the ball is the offense. While just the quarterback, the wide beneficiaries and tight closures, and the running backs can lawfully deal with the ball, the quarterback is the pioneer of the group and the playmaker. Indeed, he's a man of numerous abilities – he not just tosses the ball, he diagrams each play to his group.
The quarterback ("QB") passes or hands off the ball.
The middle snaps the ball to the QB and obstructs the protection.
2 gatekeepers and 2 handles keep the safeguard under control.
2/4 wide recipients get the ball tossed by the QB.
1 or 2 running backs take the ball and keep running with it.
1 or 2 tight finishes obstruct the protection and can likewise gets passes.
The activity of the protection is to stop the offense. The 11 men on edge group all cooperate to shield the offense from progressing toward the resistance's end zone.
Linebackers guard against the pass, and push forward to stop the run or handle the QB.
The cautious line (finishes and handles) fights no holds barred against the hostile line.
Cornerbacks and safeguards protect against the go from the QB to the wide recipient and help to stop the run.

Apps page - Portfolio (what are my assets?)
If you do not want to miss any of my Income Reports you can follow me on Twitter. Just click the button above.
Under Apps page you can see my portfolio. It is list of the games that are then reported in Income Reports.
What I did in November
- spent some time with work on client projects. Will bring screenshots in next report,
- added new levels to HTML5 version of Pirates! - the match 3. Still have to test it:
- worked on Unity version of Pirates. Currently, main menu, map selection and map scenes are working. Only missing little thing is game itself :-)
- if you examined screenshot above, you may noticed some markers on map. In November I invested into a few Unity plugins:
- Text Mesh Pro - really great plugin for working with texts,
- Pro Camera 2D - very nice plugin for various camera handlings,
- ProBuilder Advanced - tool for rapid prototyping of 3D levels,
- UFPS: Ultimate FPS - base platform for FPS games
So, my Christmas happen already in November. Last two plugins are 3D related and shows my interests in next year - I finally want to create also something in 3D!
- my first book "Create procedural endless runner in Phaser with TypeScript" reached 80 sales.
Here is first of last two income reports. I decided to end it in December to close year 2016. It started as income report from mobile games, but it is more and more about HTML5 games as income from mobile ones is still pretty low. Picking such a small figures from many internet consoles is boring and I decided to invest saved time into writing more tutorials and technical articles next year.
Here is income from mobile games in November:
Figures are slightly better than in October ($84,3)
As usually, the highest income is from ads.
Income from HTML5 hired work and HTML5 licences for November is $1 480,9.
Income from my book for November is $198,8.
Income from my book for November is $198,8.
Total income for November is $1 787,0. It is 28,3% decrease, compared to October ($2 490,8).
In December I am again working on some client projects. Beside it, I am rewriting Pirates into Unity and making new levels for it.

In February 2016, Diana M. Murphy, of St. Simons Island, Ga., was elected as the United States Golf Association's 64th president, the second woman in its history to hold the organisation's highest position. She is serving her sixth year as a member of the USGA Executive Committee first as president, having previously served as treasurer in 2013 and as vice president in 2014 and 2015. We recently sat down with Ms. Murphy to discuss the USGA and her new role.
"Although he died when I was an infant, my father is the reason I am where I am today. His love of golf was passed down to me through my brother. My father came to America from England and worked hard in the coalmines, but every time he found himself with spare time, he spent it on the golf course.
I don't own many of my father's keepsakes, but one in particular is special to me and maintains permanent residency in my office. It is a scarred MacGregor 4-wood with a steel shaft and old-fashioned leather grip, with Ben Hogan's name across the top. To me, it is a constant reminder of the eternal allure of golf, a game that has survived 600 years by constantly evolving."
Golf Features: You were just elected to be the USGA's president, just the second woman in the Association's history. What has changed for women golfers since the first woman, Judy Bell, held the position? Has much really changed, especially for women's golf at the public-course level, since 20 years ago?
Diana Murphy: First, it is an honour to be mentioned with Judy Bell. She actually encouraged me to get involved with the USGA Membership Committee during her presidency. As for women's golf, it is something that is very important to the Association, as evidenced by our involvement with LPGA-USGA Girls Golf, and the addition of the U.S. Senior Women's Open in 2018. With the Senior Women's Open, the USGA now has a national championship for every demographic. Our continued involvement with the Masters Tournament and The PGA of America on Drive, Chip & Putt has been a great vehicle for outreach to youth golfers. The enthusiasm of the competitors is so exciting to see and we know the event will continue to gain momentum going forward.
Golf Features: If you had to name one specific agenda item of utmost importance during your expected two-year time frame as USGA president, what would it be and how do you expect to carry it out?
Diana Murphy: I spoke about my "Plus One" philosophy at the Annual Meeting. It's simple: I want everyone to reach out to someone this year and introduce them to golf. Ideally, it would be someone from a different background who may be interested in golf, but doesn't know how to get involved. We want to encourage golfers to serve as mentors. Making an investment in another individual is a powerful gift. The Plus One does not even have to play; they can volunteer at a championship or even just watch the game on TV. It all makes an impact in some way, and this game is too great not to be shared.
Golf Features: The female golf population in the States has remained at a roughly flat percentage figure when compared to other sports. Golf Features: What role can the USGA play to get more women playing the game - and parallel to that - equally do on the side of minority participation?
Diana Murphy: Our work with initiatives such as LPGA-USGA Girls Golf, The First Tee, and Drive, Chip & Putt provides the means and motivation for youth to get involved in the game. A lot of this game's future success will be reliant on getting kids interested at a young age and keeping them engaged to play the game for a lifetime. We continue to make strides for greater inclusion and ways to play the game that are more time friendly. By supporting programmes like Play9, we hope to get people out on the course to see how much fun it is and how the game can be played in a shorter amount of time. We are also asking ourselves, along with other golf organisations, what else can we do? Stay tuned, we have big plans.
Golf Features: If you could change one thing in golf unilaterally what would it be?
Diana Murphy: I am really excited about the work we are doing to modernise the Rules of the game. There is a need to consolidate and organise the Rules of Golf in a plain-spoken, easier-to-understand format. It is something we have active conversations about and I expect we will hear more about it in the next couple of years.
Golf Features: The USGA has brought forward a new requirement that golf scores can no longer be posted for handicap purposes if the person doing so has played by themselves. Since golf is fundamentally a game of honour, what was broken with the past practice?
Diana Murphy: Handicap manipulation is an area of contention from golf facilities and the concept of peer review is important in maintaining the integrity of the USGA Handicap System. Golf is also becoming an increasingly global game and as players compete with one another around the world, it is important to assure that a Handicap Index® has value.
Golf Features: You and your husband, Reg, are the first couple to hold the presidency of the USGA. What is it like when the two of you discuss USGA situations, given his past connection and your long involvement with the Association?
Diana Murphy: Reg and I talk about our individual golf games, our travel schedule and elite golfers regularly, but we don't talk about the USGA. That is off limits.
Golf Features: You've got one round left to play – where do you tee it up, and who makes up your foursome?
Diana Murphy: My ideal foursome would include my husband, Reg, Arnold Palmer and Davis Love III, and I would let Arnie or Davis decide where we should play. I've only played approximately 100 courses. I want to play 1000 more before I make a final choice.

When I decided (or rather, was pulled...kicking and screaming) to take some time off of blogging, I had no idea how much I would miss my bloggity friends! But I had gotten to a point where I really needed to take some time off and focus on some things a little closer to home.
But now, as promised and long-overdue, I wanted to share some pictures with you all of our trip down to my parent's house in Tennessee right after Christmas:
This is Bonnie, one of their Morabs. She was so gentle with all the kids. Ben took a little time to get to know her before taking a ride in the barn. Lily took the next turn, with her Pop staying close beside her just in case:
Then came Kate's turn. We were all a little worried that she would be scared, but it turned out we had the opposite problem. We couldn't get her off. She would have ridden all day if we would have let her:
For those of you familiar with Kate's "outfits," you might notice she has on a dress over jeans...that's my girl. I'm not sure who was having more fun, Kate or Pop...
When Kate finally got distracted by the barn cats, Ben and Lily got the chance to get one more ride in before heading back to Nana's house:
(Mommy managed to sneak in a quick ride too, but it was feeding time, and Bonnie let me know in no uncertain terms that she was more interested in the food than hauling me around!)

A new New York Times/Stanford University poll finds an overwhelming majority of the American public, including nearly half of Republicans, support government action to curb global warming.
"In a finding that could have implications for the 2016 presidential campaign, the poll also found that two-thirds of Americans say they are more likely to vote for political candidates who campaign on fighting climate change. They are less likely to vote for candidates who question or deny the science of human-caused global warming."Save to Favorites

TRENTON, N.J. — Chris Christie is learning life as an airline passenger is different when you're no longer governor.
When Christie and his New Jersey State Police security detail arrived at Newark Liberty Airport on Thursday, two days after he left office, they headed to a special access area used by dignitaries for security clearance.
But a law enforcement official familiar with the encounter tells The Associated Press that an airport police officer and a Transportation Security Administration officer directed them to the regular screening line for all passengers. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to publicly discuss the matter.
The official says Christie complied and did not attempt to use the special entrance.
The Republican ex-governor couldn't be immediately reached for comment through an ex-aide.

When a person becomes a registered vendor for Value-Added Tax (VAT) purposes, he is required to levy output VAT at a rate of 14% on every supply he or she makes. However, an exception to the general rule applies where the Act specifically classifies a transaction as zero-rated or exempt. One of these exceptions is applicable where registered vendors are involved in the exportation of movable goods. If the supply constitutes a "direct export", the vendor will be allowed to levy VAT at a rate of 0%.
In order to determine if a direct export took place, the legal requirements needs to be considered. Firstly, there has to be a supply of moveable goods. The supply of fixed property will never be considered to be a direct export. To qualify as a direct export it is important that the South African vendor is responsible for the delivery of the goods to a location situated in an export country. The vendor is not required to physically deliver the goods himself. He may instruct another person to deliver the goods on his behalf as long as he is responsible for the shipping fees.
Normally, the place where ownership is transferred gives a good indication of the type of export that took place. For example, if an asset was sold to a non-resident during his vacation in South-Africa it is probable that the non-resident will be responsible for shipment of the asset, unless a different agreement was reached. Ownership therefore passes in South Africa and the supply will constitute an indirect export. VAT will be levied at a rate of 14%.
It is of utmost importance that the vendor acquires the necessary documentation to enable him to levy output VAT at a rate of 0%. This documentation has to be supplied to SARS within a specified timeframe. Currently the prescribed time limit is three months from the earliest of the date that appears on the invoice or the date payment was received. Failure to meet the deadline will result into an output VAT liability for the vendor at a rate of 14% of the total amount charged. Therefore, the amount charged for the export (that includes VAT of 0%) will be regarded to be inclusive of VAT of a rate of 14%. Fortunately, the vendor will still be allowed to make an input tax adjustment amounting to the output VAT levied as a result of non-submission. This will only be allowed if the required documentation is provided to SARS within one year from the date of the invoice issued. Let us look at the documents that need to be provided to SARS. This will be the following:
· A contract between the vendor and the client of the order placed by the client. Probably SARS will evaluate these forms to identify the type of goods that are supplied as well as the conditions of shipment.
· Proof of payment made by the recipient of the goods.
· A delivery note or any other documentary proof confirming receipt of goods by the client.
· A copy of the tax invoice issued by the South African vendor indicating that output VAT of 0% was levied on the supply.
· A DA74 form (application for release of goods) containing a SARS customs date stamp. This will only be required if customs previously rejected the exportation of the goods.
· Depending on the method used to submit the documentation to SARS, the following documents will be required:
- If the documentation is submitted electronically (for example via eFiling) the vendor has a choice to supply one of the following documents: export or removal documentation, custom release notification or a computer generated release notification.
- If the documentation is submitted at a customs office on a form (manually) or on a computer disk, a copy of the export or removal documentation is required and it must contain an original SARS customs date stamp. A specific computer program was designed for parties that submit documentation via a computer disk.
If the VAT vendor is in possession of the required documentation, he can rest assured that SARS will allow output VAT at a rate of 0%. Therefore the vendor will not have to increase the price charged to his customer with a 14% VAT component. It is important to take note of the deadline of submissions in order to avoid an additional output tax liability. Since the direct export of movable goods constitutes a taxable supply at 0%, the vendor will be allowed to claim input tax credits on expenses relating to the supply. If the expenses are subject to the standard rate at 14%, the net effect of the transaction will place the vendor in the privileged position to gain a refund from SARS.

Cozy Mystery Spotlight (Review by Sue Lillie)
T. C. LoTempio is the author of the Nick & Nora mystery series. Nora Charles, a former crime investigator for a Chicago newspaper, inherits her mother's sandwich shop. This does not stop her curiosity and involvement in murder mysteries. Nora is "adopted" by a tuxedo cat whom she names Nick. Nick's previous owner was a private investigator who is missing, and his last case happens to involve a murder victim that Nora is checking out.
In the first book, Meow If It's Murder, Nick gives Nora clues that help her find the real killer. In book two, Claws for Alarm, Nora's sister becomes a prime suspect in a murder case, so Nick and Nora have to quickly solve this case.
If the names Nick and Nora Charles sound familiar, refer to the Thin Man movies. Also included in the book are recipes from Nora's sandwich shop.
