Quake 4 details glimpsed
Despite neither magazine actually being available in shops as yet - details from forthcoming PC Zone UK and PC Gamer US Quake 4 previews have begun hitting the web, as generous subscribers share their editions with the eager online community. Whilst the scanned in images don't really do the game justice, looking much the same as Doom 3 in many cases - the details emerging are rather more enlightening.
Quake 4 begins just hours after the events of Quake 2, and we're told to expect a mix of solo missions and epic battles, alongside your fellow marines attacking the nasty Strogg. The blaster, machinegun, nailgun and shotgun will return from past Quake outings, and the premise will see our hero attacking the Strogg homeworld en masse, through both interior and exterior environs.
More news is expected to hit the web soon from the newly published previews, though we can leave you with word that the multiplayer aspect is being compared to Quake 3: Arena, though vehicles from the singleplayer game will not be available. More soon.

Caldwell police on Friday arrested two Nampa men they said led them on a vehicle chase and tried to get rid of a loaded handgun.
A patrol officer saw Jose Chavez - who had four active arrest warrants - driving at about 5:40 p.m. and tried to perform a traffic stop near the intersection of Ray Avenue and Cottonwood Street in Caldwell, police said. Chavez didn't stop, police said, and the passenger threw a black object out of the car near Ray and Chaparro Street.
The pursuit proceeded south on 10th Avenue, and the chase ended because of congested traffic near 10th and Karcher Road.
Chavez, 21, and his passenger, Bejoun Rodriguez, also 21, were arrested and booked into the Canyon County Jail. Rodriguez had an active arrest warrant.
Police said a loaded handgun with obliterated serial numbers was recovered near Ray and Chaparro.
Chavez was charged with felony eluding and carrying a concealed weapon.
Rodriguez was charged with a felony probation violation, unlawful possession of a firearm and carrying a concealed weapon.

The Goodness lavishly photo-documents a Minecraft-themed wedding:
Matt and Asia are simply the most perfect couple ever. They met through their church (Matt said he fell for her watching her dance, awww) but they truly bonded over the game of Minecraft. They built a house together in the digital world and have been inseparable ever since, both in the game and in real life. Matt even proposed to Asia up on stage at MineCon with the help of the game's creators. So it was no surprise that Matt and Asia would plan a Minecraft themed wedding, and wow, did they ever. They worked hard and put together an incredible event, which truly reflected their love for Minecraft, ahem, each other! We felt so lucky to capture such an awesome day, both in photos and with a wedding film (at the end of this post). It was a labor of love with lots of DIY and help from some fellow Minecraft lovers. Matt, Asia and friends created the pixel-trees from cardboard boxes and used them to decorate the structural pillars, genius!
They even got custom Minecraft-themed Jones Soda flavors.

The creeper in the background looks as though it's the jealous crush that always wanted to get with Asia but never asked her out. It's waiting to sneak up on Matt when he's not looking and explode.

Matt is one lucky, lucky bastard, and from his smile it looks like he knows it. Good, a guy fortunate enough to find, bond with and marry someone who shares core hobbies really needs to be aware of that and treasure it. *is so very jealous of his situation*
I hope they successfully negotiate the progress to new games, and also have compatible opinions on the upgrade packs

I am not a fan of these themed weddings. They seem more like birthday parties to me than weddings.I think what they did was cute and nicely executed, but it overall it seems juvenile in a way that is not appropriate for a wedding – save it for the rehearsal dinner or do a little Minecraft themed bachelor/bachelorette party for the folks who will actually understand the video game references..

Task Force Arrests Six After Search Warrants
The Central Minnesota Violent Offenders Task Force conducted three search warrants on the morning of November 21. According to Stearns County Sheriff John Sanner stolen property, guns and methamphetamine were recovered from the three homes.
One of the warrants was conducted at 13 Arbor Street, Bel Clare Acres in Waite Park. 32-year-old Jason Carson and 30-year-old Jacqueline Sanquist were arrested on charges of possession of stolen property, burglary, and being felons in possession of a firearm. Sanner reports that 19 guns and stolen property were found at the residence.
The second search was at 52 Joymar Drive, Bel Clare Acres in Waite Park. The investigators reportedly recovered more stolen property and over 25 grams of methamphetamine. Police arrested 57-year-old Michael Grandner and 59-year-old Jay Sanquist. Grandner on charges of possession of a fifth degree controlled substance. Sanquist was taken to the Stearns County Jail on charges of first degree possession of a controlled substance and receiving stolen property.

News Article
Dita di Strega, or Witches Fingers, are a popular Halloween-time Italian treat, but they can be severed … er... served for any special occasion. You can use food coloring to create the level of cookie decay you like, from just chopped to falling off the bone. The more detailed you go, the better the fingers look. The trick is to frost under the nails, to get that realistic bloody nail bed look.
There are a number of Witches Fingers recipes out there, including ricotta fingers, fingers stuffed with jam, and extremities of the vegan variety, but I've chosen one of the most popular versions from the blog SimplySoGood. They are really easy to make, so, go ahead, whip up a few handfuls!
Witch Finger Cookies
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar (confectionery)
1 egg
1 teaspoon Almond extract
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt (1/2 teaspoon salt if using salted butter)
3/4 cup whole blanched almonds
green food coloring
1 tube red decorator gel
In a bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg, almond and vanilla extract; beat in flour, baking powder and salt.
Note: If by chance you do not have unsalted butter, lessen the amount of salt from 1 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon.
Add a few drops of green food coloring until you get the "green" that you want.
Scrape the cookies mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Make sure your blanched almonds are ready to go.
Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into finger shape for each cookie.
* Cook uses an ice cream scoop to measure the dough. That way the fingers will be somewhat uniform in size and shape - somewhat. The cookies will spread out a bit when they cool.
Press almond firmly into one end for the nail. Squeeze in center to create knuckle shape; using a paring knife or toothpick, make several places to form knuckle.
Place on lightly greased baking sheets or parchment lined baking sheets. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until pale golden. Let cool for 3 minutes. Lift up almond; squeeze red decorator gel onto nail bed and press almond back into place, so gel oozes out from underneath. Let cool. Makes about 28 large cigar size cookies. If you only use 1 teaspoon of dough, you will get about 4 dozen cookies.

VERONA, Wis. (AP) -- The National Weather Service confirms a tornado packing winds of up to 90 mph touched down in south-central Wisconsin.
The tornado touched down Wednesday night near Verona and uprooted trees and downed power lines along a 15-mile path before lifting near McFarland.
Meteorologist Marcia Cronce tells the Wisconsin State Journal the tornado was on the ground for about 20 minutes. Cronce says the tornado was rated an EF1. She says no injuries or structural damage were reported.

Game 63: Rayz 2, Ice Bats 1
March 24, 2007 12:01 AM
Can anyone think of a better way to spend a Friday night than watching a meaningless, mind-numbingly boring game like this one? Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks to Croft and Quenneville for sparing us from sitting through an overtime or shootout.
--- Zelenewich might've played his best game of the season. He really made some terrific saves in this one, including that lunging stop on Aaron Davis at the right post with 2.07 seconds left.
--- Croft, of course, was a central figure in this game, whether he wanted to be or not. Calling two penalties in the last five minutes of a 1-1 game, even if it was a nothing game? That takes brass ones. Hughes grabbed a water bottle after Quenneville scored, but showed remarkable restraint in not throwing it. I'll give Croft the benefit of the doubt on ruling no-goal when Kuster put the puck in with 37.46 to go because from my vantage point, it looked like he had lost sight of the puck and there seemed to be sufficient time from when he made his ruling to when Kuster shot the puck. I asked Jeff Buch for his thoughts and all he did was mutter "Muscutt was right."
--- Neither team should've scored its first goal. The Rayz' tally came on a blue-line floater from Johnson that appeared to hit Beaudry's blocker and had enough steam to trickle between Miguel's legs. Austin's goal came after an obvious icing following a Bats penalty that was inexplicably waved off.
--- Corpus played a conservative, plodding game, one you'd expect from a team heading to the playoffs and not wanting to get anyone hurt or suspended. Austin, meanwhile, seemed to play pretty hard given it had nothing to play for. Where was that the past couple of weeks against Rio?
--- Could Austin's power play be any worse? Goodness, it was just brutal. That game seemed like a microcosm of the Bats' season: Terrible power play, misfiring on chances, getting absolutely zero bounces on home ice.
--- I did get to watch the first period with the CHL's two best hecklers. As always, an entertaining experience, but not if your name was Croft or Duncan. You could tell IIYH and CA missed their buddy Baird.
--- Couture arrived just in time for the game, although he came out fairly late during the warm-up. Of course, Austin's karma would've had him coming into the game and beating the Bats, especially since he was the last Bats goalie to beat Corpus this season.
--- While the decor may be more suited for a cockfight than a hockey game, the Rayz certainly didn't mind the Bats' move to the Chap. Corpus went 5-0 at Austin this year after going 12-23-10 in eight years at Travis County. The Rayz held the Bats to one goal or fewer at home four times, while allowing only 20 goals in going 8-2 against Austin this year.
--- The Rayz finished with an 18-8-6 road record, which is pretty solid. What's really remarkable is their road record within the division: 13-1-3, with the regulation loss coming in the first road game at Rio back on Oct. 27.
--- If you've ever seen the terrific film The Paper, Michael Keaton's character Henry Hackett has a great line where he says, "Sometimes you can just smell a horrendously s---ty day on the way, can't you?" Welcome to my Friday, which included taking two and a half hours to drive 25 miles from south Austin to Round Rock for lunch because an 18-wheeler stalled in the middle of I-35 and then two nimrods got into a wreck in Round Rock that shut down the left two lanes of the freeway and created a bottleneck all the way to before you get into downtown Austin. And then there was that aforementioned game.
--- New Mexico's Doomsday scenario is starting to develop, isn't it? The lead in the Southwest is down to two points after Colorado rolled into Rio Rancho and pistol-whipped the Scorps. So much for Cacciola's history against Colorado, as "Cash" resembled Confederate money. Of course, having the 2006 Mudbugs in front of you is a little different than the 2007 Scorpions. And Reid promptly got lit up, too, so there's no need to second-guess.
Amarillo and Arizona are two points back, although the Sundogs only have one game left to two for Amarillo and New Mexico. The Scorps now need to get three points over the next two points against Rocky Mountain. Let's face it, if you can't get three points against the worst team in the league at crunch time, you don't deserve to win your division.
--- A great opportunity for Wichita to move into sixth, and it's a blown one. It's pretty cool that Chad Hinz is wearing No. 57 for Oke City. Hopefully, Tulsa-Wichita comes down to that Sunday finale. That would be cool.
--- I wouldn't take much out of this game, especially with Bes sitting out. I'm sure Hiebert got serenaded by his Valley fan club, though.
Agree with pretty much all your comments on the Bats-Rayz game. We did get one good bounce however. A Ray shot and hit the inside of the right post, then hit Beaudry in the back and rebounded off him a couple inches wide of the left post.
But sheesh we sure didn't get any breaks - at least not any good ones - in the last 4 minutes.
Where are all the New Mexico fans running their gums? Oh yeah they are too busy trying to lie to themselves that they are a "good" playoff team. What a snoozer last night, I turned it off after it was 7-1. Obviously I didn't miss anything but a few meaningless goals in the blasting of the "greatest tandum of goaltenders the CHL has ever seen." What a joke, I want a refund from CHL TV, as I only watched half the game. :)
nelson12 - unfortunately you're back. I still say everyone is entitled to their opinion (even you), BUT there is no need for such backmouthing. Jealousy does not become you. Like I said before, get the chip of your shoulder -- oh yeah, by the way - SCORPS won southwest division!!!! 2nd seed
give it up man
Yeah, won a division that they would have been at best 3rd or 4th in each division in the North. Congratulations, you would never have 72 points in the north if you had to play the likes of Memphis, BS, Colorado, OKC and Youngstown.
Back? I have been here everyday for three seasons. You still think that Nelson plays for Corpus, DR? Or are you still the resident CHL expert here helping Greg out? Jealousy, what could New Mexico possibly have that my team would want?
nelson12 - I'll tell you what New Mexico has that you do not

Wow! Made this for dinner tonight. Absolutely deliciious. Added a few bread crumbs on top and broiled until browned.
Delicious!!! I had mine with chicken instead of shrimp.
I had some cooked jumbo shrimp that I had to use up and this worked out perfect. I actually marinated them in the frig overnight. I also sprinkled them with some fresh bread crumbs and freshly grated parm before putting in the oven. Instead of the bread, I served over rice pilaf with some fresh tomato chopped in it. Yummy.

I write about films, especially superhero films, & Hollywood.
This week, we got our first look at the upcoming film The Bourne Legacy, when the first trailer hit the Web. Jeremy Renner takes over from franchise star Matt Damon, and fans have been unsure of what to expect from the newest outing in the series. This trailer gives us an idea of what to expect, so check it out…
I'm a pretty big fan of Damon's work in general, and I love the Bourne series, so when I heard he wasn't going to be part of the newest film, I was very disappointed.
But I like Renner, and if I separate my personal feelings about Damon's absence and the omission of the Jason Bourne character, focusing instead on what I can see so far about this film's own merits, I have to admit that at the very least this does look like an interesting action-and-espionage thriller.
The trailer is certainly stylish and catches our attention, and again Renner has been pretty dependable in his selection of film roles thus far.
So while I still bemoan the loss of Damon and Bourne, I'll keep an open mind and cross my fingers that the newest film lives up to the high standards set for this franchise so far.
What do you think, dear readers? Are you excited to see the newest installment of the Bourne franchise, do you already dismiss this one with a thumbs-down, or are you in wait-and-see mode? Sound off in the comments below!
Follow me on Twitter, on Google+, and on Quora. Read my blog.
Given the success of Matt Damon in his role as Jason Bourne in the Bourne series of movies to date and the fact that his persona exemplifies the character set of Jason Bourne, I believe that this new movie (Bourne Legacy) should be boycotted. Although I have nothing against the main character (Renner), this film will not and should not have been produced. With the release of this film something has been lost in the Bourne saga. I will continue to be hopeful that Matt Damon will return in a future Bourne movie and then the legacy will truly continue at that point in time.
The author of this article or post is a complete idiot like 70% of all of the other authors of posts that I have read regarding "The Bourne Legacy".
People: please realize that the reason why Matt Damon isn't in this one is simply because the title and everything about the films wouldn't make sense if he was. Think about the simple but easily overlook-able (obviously) title. LEGACY.
What does legacy mean?
legacy |ˈlegəsē|
noun ( pl. -cies)
a thing handed down by a predecessor.
Dont listen to what this author has posted. His opinion is false only because the facts that his opinion are based on are false. It simply doesn't make sense for Matt Damon to be in this film. It's Bourne's LEGACY. L-E-G-A-C-Y. Not Revenge or Fall-out or something.
This movie is gonna be great. The trailer can vouch for this.
Again, please don't let this idiot above spoil your thoughts about the new movie. He says things like "…so when I heard he wasn't going to be part of the newest film, I was very disappointed." This is absolutely ridiculous. He and anyone else complaining about a no Matt Damon is a complete idiot and another average mind.
Can't wait for this one!
Hi "bnewey69″, I did not observe your comment before posting mine. If this is indeed a preceding story then it is possible that the movie could be as interesting and as successful as the trilogy. However, if the series does continue to omit Matt Damon & Paul Greengrass(or an able director to convince Matt), it is certain that all following movies would fail miserably. Hope the team would not undermine this. If they do keep-up the main cast and continue the good work, the series should be a world success and specifically with great screening & returns in India. I don't think the team would want to lose such huge Indian viewership/market, that too when the trilogy was also screened in native dubbing in the southern & northern states across India.
I'm from India and I'm an ardent lover of the Bourne Trilogy. I've been thrilled by the fact the no other trilogy(or, as a matter of fact, any other movie) has ever kept me unmoved from the seat while watching all the three movies. I've seen the success of all three movies, in succession, in India. AND, India is a country where, even if there is an atomic level of deviation from originality, people simply dump movies in a day or two. Today, even English movies have to be in competition in our country and anything out of the ordinary would simply fail. I think Matt Damon's omission is a great blunder, considering the movie's release in India and the familiarity Matt has in this country.
Boycott Tony Gilroy's Bourne Legacy. Gilroy is credited for writing Ultimatum but the finished product was not his. He is a total ripoff and I cannot watch the film because of him.

Sixty rejections. Three-and-a-half years. Enter Susan Ramer '83–the perceptive agent with the keen eye and understanding to accept Kathryn Stockett's manuscript and sell it to a publisher in less than a week.
"The humor won me over from the start," says Ramer, who has been an agent for 25 years with Don Congdon Associates in New York City. "It's not often that a manuscript can make me laugh out loud and cry, and this one did."
Now a bestseller with a movie released this month, The Help is Kathryn Stockett's first novel. Ramer, who did not know the background on how long Stockett had been trying to get it published, said what first caught her attention was the query letter.
"What lead me to ask her to send me the manuscript was her description of the novel," says Ramer. "She described a story I'd never read before. So many novels – including some excellent ones – cover familiar ground, and this was different…from those opening pages the voice grabbed me immediately and never let me go."
The Help, originally published in 2009 and the movie released in August, tells the story of three women during the formative years of the civil rights movement in Mississippi, where it was dangerous to be outspoken in opposition to segregation for both blacks and whites. Through the characters, readers are provided with a penetrating view into the complicated perspectives of the black maids working as domestic help in white households, the white families for whom they worked, and a young white College graduate who becomes ostracized as an "integrationist."
Ramer says that the book sold quickly. She sent it to a few editors, and Amy Einhorn made an offer within less than a week. "She had recently started her own imprint at Putnam and this was her first fiction buy."
Although Ramer knew that the book had potential for success, she says she never could have imagined the extraordinary response it received. "No agent or publisher can predict something like this. Word of mouth is not something you can manufacture, and that has been a huge part of The Help's success. It has taken on a life of its own. It's amazing to see happen, and certainly for the first time in my publishing career."
"There is nothing better than selling an author's first book," says Ramer. "It's incredibly satisfying to find a new writer I'm excited about and then play a role in starting off their career."
Ramer says she gets many manuscripts that she doesn't like enough to finish, so when she reads one that she can't put down, it makes a big impression. In regard to Stockett's, she says, "Every character was so human, so fully developed. In less able hands, this could have been a much less nuanced story of right and wrong, but Stockett has an incredible ability to get inside her characters and show them to us from all sides."
An English graduate, Ramer has always had an interest in reading and writing and although not a creative writer herself, she says she has an enormous appreciation for those who are.
While at Lafayette, she interned with the Easton Express and learned that she was not "cut out for the fast pace of newspapers and that being a writer myself was probably not the career I wanted." During the summer before her senior year, she did some part-time research with Don Miller, MacCracken Professor of History. "In a conversation about what to do post-college, he suggested I look into book publishing," recalls Ramer. "A light bulb immediately went off. It had never occurred to me before. He started me down this road."
Before joining Congdon Associates where Ramer represents both fiction and nonfiction writers, she worked on rights and contracts for Warner Books (now Grand Central Publishing). That experience gave her the knowledge for the selling and negotiating side of being an agent, a career she moved into because she wanted to work directly with writers. "I like being involved in the whole process, from finding writers and working with them editorially, to finding the right buyers, to negotiating the deals," she says.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Already a publishing sensation in England, The Red Wolf Conspiracy marks the debut of a remarkably gifted young writer. Robert V. S. Redick has been compared to Philip Pullman, George R. R. Martin, and China Miéville, among others, and like them he is a spellbinding storyteller, unafraid to sail his imagination into uncharted waters. With The Red Wolf Conspiracy he launches the first book of a trilogy destined to take its place among the classics of epic fantasy.
The Imperial Merchant Ship Chathrand is the last of her kind. Six hundred years old, the secrets of her construction long forgotten, the massive vessel dwarfs every other sailing craft in the world. It is a palace with sails, a floating outpost of the Empire of Arqual. And it is on its most vital mission yet: to deliver a young woman whose marriage will seal the peace between Arqual and its mortal enemy, the secretive Mzithrin Empire. But the young woman in question - Thasha, the daughter of the Arquali ambassador - has no intention of going meekly to the altar. For the ship's true mission is not peace but war - a war that threatens to unleash an ancient, all-consuming evil.
As the dark conspiracy at the heart of the voyage unfurls, Pazel Pathkendle, a lowly tarboy with an uncanny gift, will find himself in an unlikely alliance with Thasha and her protectors: Hercól, a valet who is more than he appears; Dri, the queen of a race of tiny stowaways who have their own plans for the great ship; and Ramachni, a powerful sorcerer from another world. Arrayed against them are the Chathrand's brutal captain, Nilus Rose; the Emperor's spymaster and chief assassin, Sandor Ott; and the enigmatic Dr. Chadfallow, a longtime friend to Pazel's family whose kind words may hide a vicious betrayal.
As the Chathrand navigates treacherous waters to complete its mission, Pazel, Thasha, and their allies - including a singularly heroic rat - must also navigate a treacherous web of intrigue to uncover the secret of the legendary Red Wolf.
Chapter One
1 Vaqrin (first day of summer) 941
It began, as every disaster in his life began, with a calm. The harbor and the village slept. The wind that had roared all night lay quelled by the headland; the bosun grew too sleepy to shout. But forty feet up the ratlines, Pazel Pathkendle had never been more awake.
He was freezing, to start with - a rogue wave had struck the bow at dusk, soaking eight boys and washing the ships dog into the hold, where it still yipped for rescue - but it wasnt the cold that worried him. It was the storm cloud. It had leaped the coastal ridge in one bound, on high winds he couldnt feel. The ship had no reason to fear it, but Pazel did. People were trying to kill him, and the only thing stopping them was the moon, that blessed bonfire moon, etching his shadow like a coal drawing on the deck of the Eniel.
One more mile, he thought. Then it can pour for all I care.
While the calm held, the Eniel ran quiet as a dream: her ...
What really sets this novel above the norm, though, is the quality of Redick's writing. Like most fantasy novels, this book contains a huge number of characters. Amazingly, nearly all of them are three-dimensional. Even characters with "bit parts" are fully-developed. There may be an occasional stereotype here and there, but they're rare. It's a remarkable feat considering the large cast. He also does a marvelous job of portraying the swashbuckling nature of the story. His descriptions of life on the sea and of the tall sailing ships seem dead on, and his action sequences frequently leave the reader breathless.
The Red Wolf Conspiracy is geared toward a very broad audience. The book has no sexual content and the violence depicted isn't extreme, making it appropriate fare for young adults. More mature readers will appreciate its intricate plot, richly imagined world and high-quality narrative. (Reviewed by Kim Kovacs).
Full Review (933 words).
A Beginner's Guide to Tall Ships
The Red Wolf Conspiracy takes place almost entirely aboard an immense sailing ship (aka "tall ship") with seven decks and five sails, similar, albeit perhaps on a grander scale, to those one might envision in use during the 18th century. Although the book is set in a fantasy world, Redick references familiar ship types and crew positions throughout the novel.
A tall ship* is a large traditionally rigged sailing vessel. Tall ships are defined by their rigging, their masts and, in particular, by their sails. Some of the more common ship types are:

How to beat the stats and land a job – 10 top tips from a recent graduate
Following on from last week's post on why graduates should ditch graduate schemes in favour of more attainable options, this week I've invited Amy Burton, a recent graduate, to share the secrets and strategies that helped her to land her first job – just one month after graduating.
[GUEST POST by Amy Burton]
In the three months leading up to July 2012 there were 472,000 job vacancies and 713,000 unemployed 16-24 year olds. I graduated in July 2012 with a BA Hons in Advertising & Marketing Communications from the University of Central Lancashire and bearing in mind the competition, I started my job hunt in November 2011 – nine months before I was due to graduate.
I was eager to get out into the working world but I had already missed a lot of opportunities to get ahead of the competition as many of the graduate schemes had already closed for applications.
However, after nine months of preparation and searching, I landed a full time job as a Marketing Assistant, which started a month after I finished university.
I got my job there by making myself known to the Director of the company.
I attended a local group called "The Preston Social" and took part in discussions via Twitter, enabling me to build a positive reputation, as well as having my own opinions during debates. I worked hard to gain experience and ensured that my passion for the industry was known from the word go.
It is never easy to get a job and even harder to get the job you want, so if you've recently graduated or about to graduate and you're looking for a job, here are my ten top tips for success…
Ten top tips to help you beat the stats and land a job
1) Learn about yourself
Understand your strengths and your weaknesses. You may not be good at presenting in front of a crowd but when asked to work out complex mathematics you are a professional – work it to your advantage! Focus on the positives; you can always develop weaker skills later.
2) You've got to be in it to win it
Even though I knew what career goals I had, I applied to positions that would help me gain experience, even if they were not my "dream" job. Doing this means you will be able to practice filling out applications and gain feedback if it doesn't work out.
3) You can't tick all the boxes
When looking at a job description I found I was often unable to fulfil all the criteria so this restricted the jobs I was applying for. One day my tutor explained to me that if you could answer all the criteria then you would be their perfect candidate and nobodyis perfect! If you fit the majority of the vital skills they're asking for in the job, you can work from there.
4) Get help
Always get someone to check your covering letters and tailor each application individually – stand out from the crowd with what you say.
5) Build your profile
Get online – create a Linkedin account and a business email address; get yourself a blog and write about what you are passionate about and the industry you want to go into.
6) Protect your privacy
A very quick lesson to learn is how easy it is to find out information about you so check out your privacy settings on social networks. Remember that most employers will check your name online to see what comes up so if you don't want them to see certain pictures or messages, check your privacy settings to see who can see what you say.
7) Take the initiative
If there's a particular company you would like to work for, take the initiative and contact those companies to see if there are non-graduate positions in the pipeline. Getting noticed in a pile of CVs is tough with so many graduates around so you have to really be proactive in your job search.
8) Be prepared to wait
I applied to over 45 marketing jobs whilst I was job hunting – the waiting to hear back was by far the worst part. I got myself into a routine of scheduling my applications and monitoring end dates for applications. If I had not heard from a position within three weeks of the end deadline, I assumed I didn't get the job and asked for feedback on my application.
9) Don't be afraid to ask for feedback
Show that you care about the job you applied for and find out how you can improve by asking for feedback.
More often than not the feedback will sting but that's okay – it is fine to feel hurt when you have been rejected by an employer.
Take notes on how to improve; make the most of what your university or college offers by asking tutors and career advisors to review your CV. If you do this, the next application you do will be better.
10) Stay focused
Regardless of how much you hear on the news about how tough it is to get a job, stay focused! If you want to get ahead, do not sit at your desk complaining about it, go out and make yourself known.
Your university is there to help so see if there are workshops you can go to and competitions you can enter, like FLUX 500 which helps graduates get in touch with potential employers as well as win a bit of cash. Grab any opportunity with both hands – it looks great on your CV and helps with your confidence too.

Despite Obama Decision to Reject DOMA, Feds Will Still Fight Lawyer's Same-Sex Benefits Case
Posted Mar 1, 2011 8:25 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Following news last week that President Barack Obama had decided the Defense of Marriage Act is an unconstitutional violation of equal protection comes news this week that the revised policy may be narrower than some onlookers had initially thought.
Although the Department of Justice is reportedly reversing its previous position in two cases in the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the New York City-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the DOJ will continue to oppose a claim by a lesbian lawyer who works for the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that her same-sex partner is entitled to federal benefits, according to the Associated Press.
This distinction, at least as far as attorney Karen Golinski's case is concerned, appears to turn on a DOJ argument that executive power rather than the DOMA is the controlling legal authority, according to Reuters.
It is presently unclear exactly how the DOJ is interpreting a distinction made by Attorney General Eric Holder, when announcing the new policy last week, between the department's present position of refusing to argue in court that the DOMA is constitutional yet continuing to uphold the executive branch's duty to enforce the law.

An Elkhart man remained in the Anderson County jail on Tuesday after his early-morning arrest for several drug related and others charges at a Palestine convenience store.
According to Sheriff Greg Taylor, Deputy Johnny Gorden was patrolling the area of JJ's Fast Time, located just south of Palestine's Loop 256 on Texas 19, when he identified the suspect, 47-year-old Brent Lane Gathright, at the location.
"He was traveling in a white Chevy Colorado pickup," Taylor said. "Gorden knew that Gathright did not have a valid driver's license and stopped the subject."
Gathright exited the vehicle and was arrested for Driving With License Invalid (DWLI). During the stop, Gorden later noticed a narcotic pipe with crystal residue in the vehicle.
"The deputy did a more thorough search of the vehicle and the suspect, but found no additional evidence at the time," Taylor reported.
Later, during a search of the suspect at the Anderson County Jail, officers found that Gathright had attempted to secret a small clear plastic baggie containing less than a gram of methamphetamine.
Gathright's charges include Possession of a Controlled Substance-PG1, $7,500 bond; Prohibited Substance in a Correctional Facility, $10,000 bond; and Driving with License Invalid and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, $767 in fines.
"It is good to have our deputies out there that know the criminals and what they drive," the sheriff said. "It not only gets drugs off the street but can get a burglar or thief off the street as well, as those involved in drugs usually are involved in other crimes."

NC Shrine Bowl notebook: RB Gurley turning heads
Mon. December 12, 2011 at 11:12 p.m. | By Kevin Melton
North Carolina running back Todd Gurley takes part in Shrine Bowl practice on Monday at Spartanburg High School. (Photo by MICHAEL email@example.com)
One of the most eye-catching athletes at Shrine Bowl practice on Monday at Spartanburg High School was Tarboro running back Todd Gurley.
The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder showed a mixture of speed and power that impressed his coaches and teammates. That combination is also grabbing the attention of the nation as Gurley has accrued 13 total offers, including Clemson and South Carolina. He has stated that the Tigers are in his top four along with Georgia, North Carolina and N.C. State and that a decision will be made on Jan. 3.
While Gurley is getting closer to making his decision known, he wants to extend his high school career as long as possible.
"I would keep doing it if I could," he said. "If I was eligible to play another year I would. All the recruiting is tough. I try not to worry about it, but it is tough."
Nothing would make Gurley's high school coach Jeff Craddock, who is coaching the linebackers for the Tarheels, happier than to have his star running back for another year. Gurley helped lead his team to its third straight 2A state championship rushing for 242 yards and four touchdowns in a 39-36 win against Lincolnton.
"I've been with Todd every since he's been a freshman," Craddock said. "I've been at Tarboro 16 years, and he's the best athlete I've coached coming out of Tarboro. The young man is a competitor. It's an honor, and I'm blessed to coach a kid like Todd. I've got the best seat in the house on Friday."
Craddock added that Gurley rushed for almost 2,500 yards with 38 touchdowns.
Gurley said he's hoping for one more win when the game kicks off at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Gibbs Stadium.
"To be picked as one of the top players in North Carolina and to represent the state feels great," he said. "It's very exciting. Guys are hyped up just to get back on the field. Some didn't win their last high school game, so this means a lot to them."
WHAT ABOUT US? While so much has been said about the defensive line, the offensive line has also been drawing attention from their coaches. Casey Blaser (South Mecklenburg), Mark Harrell (Charlotte Catholic), Jacob Ingle (Walter M. Williams), Andrew Potts (Topsail), D.J. Reader (Grimsley) and Joel Suggs (Randleman) make up the Tarheels' front, and Barnes said the group made strides on the first day of practice.
"We were pleased with our offensive linemen," he said. "There were people better than maybe we thought they would be."
QUARTERBACKS ON COURSE: Tarheels quarterbacks Michael Helms (Freedom), James Summers (Page) and Kwashaun Quick (Scotland) were equally impressive in Monday's practices. Barnes said he's confident all three can get the job done when their numbers are called upon.
"We're skilled at quarterback," he said. "I know I got questioned a lot about the three we picked, but two of them played in state championship games and were MVPs in their games and Michael did a good job today throwing the ball. I think we've got three guys that complement each other well. All three can help us win."
INJURY REPORT: Crest defensive back Rhaheim Ledbetter has been scratched from the roster due to injury and replaced by Jack Britt defensive back Salahuddin Majid. Sun Valley center Jared Barr suffered an injury that will cause him to miss the game and has been replaced by West Rowan offensive lineman Hunter Mashburn. West Guilford offensive lineman Brock Stadnik will not play due to a scheduling conflict. Pinecrest offensive lineman Bryce Kennedy has filled the roster spot.

DETROIT — After jumping out to an early 3-0 lead, it was nearly in the bag for Traverse City West.
Or, perhaps more accurately, in the hat. A hat trick of sorts, but with a goalie twist.
Titans goaltender Brendan Lacharite donned a toque for the outdoor game at the Detroit Tigers' Comerica Park as West earned a 4-3 victory Wednesday over rival Traverse City Central as part of the Hockeytown Winter Festival despite being outshot 35-18.
As the old hockey saying goes in part, he didn't have to stand on his head, but if he had to, he'd have had extra padding.
Goalie coach Bob Fernandez came up with the idea.
"His wife sewed Velcro inside the hat, so then once he stuck them on, there was no way it coming off," Lacharite said of the hats, as Titans backup netminder Tyler Buchanan also wore one.
"Our goalie played very well for us," West coach Jeremy Rintala said. "He weathered the storm. We had some parts of the game where we didn't play too hot, but it was one of our better games of the year."
West jumped in front 2-0 as Jordan Stevenson scored on a rebound and Jake Saxton.
Stevenson's came 8:21 into the game, just after a Central penalty expired as he chipped the rebound up and over netminder Jack Boyce. Saxton's was unassisted on a rush with 7:23 left. Each team killed off one first-period penalty, but Central still had a 14-8 advantage in shots.
The Titans took a 3-0 lead on Stevenson's second of the afternoon, again just after a power play expired. Jacob Benker and Greg Brandt picked up assists.
"I knew he was going to take the shot, so I started going to the middle to see if I could get a rebound," Stevenson said. "As the puck was going through the air, it bounced off my stick and redirected into the back of the net. I'd like to say I intended to do that."

There are over 25,000 castles in Germany today; some are only ruins, but many of them are well-preserved and home to museums, restaurants and even hotels.So why are there so many castles in Germany?
During the Middle Ages, the country was divided into many small, competitive feudal states and principalities; these unstable times encouraged the construction of secure and fortified castles in Germany.
Where to start?
Check out my top-pick of the best castles in Germany. Just click on the name of the German castle and get in depth information that will make your journey through Germany's past an unforgettable experience.
1. Neuschwanstein
In Bavaria, the South of Germany, lies one of the most famous castles in the world: Neuschwanstein. In 1869, Ludwig II constructed this fantastic castle not for defense, but for pleasure. It was his private summer retreat.
The design of Neuschwanstein is medieval, but Ludwig made sure to built in modern technologies of the day, such as flush toilets and heating.
2. The Wartburg Castle
The Wartburg Castle lies in the East of Germany, close to Eisenach, and overlooks the forests of Thuringia; it is one of the oldest and best-preserved Romanesque castles in Germany, built in 1067.
The church reformist Martin Luther lived here and translated the Bible into German. Since 1999, the Wartburg Castle is added to the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
3. Palace of Heidelberg
In the Southwest of Germany, you'll find the ruins of the once majestic Castle of Heidelberg. The castle used to be a gothic masterpiece, but was destroyed several times over the centuries. Partly rebuilt, you can still make out different architectural styles in the ruins.
4. The Eltz Castle
In the West of Germany, between Trier and Koblenz, lies the Eltz Castle. Hidden in the middle of a dense forest, the castle is owned by the same family that lived here in the 12th century.
The original furniture and art collection is impressive, and the armor in the Knights Hall dates back to the 16th century. Eltz Castle is still an insider tip and not nearly as crowded as other castles in Germany.
5. The Castle Road
The Castle Road is lined with 70 castles and palaces; it is 625 miles long and leads you on small winding back roads from the southwest of Germany to the Czech Republic.
Highlights along the way are the castles of Heidelberg, Bamberg, and Nuremberg, the 1000-year old Castle Hotel Colmberg, and the best-preserved medieval town of Germany, Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

The Smithsonian is joining the Utah Division of Arts & Museums to create a one-day small museum in Kearns on September 29th . The museum will be open from 10 am to 6 pm at the LDS chapel located at 4260 West 5215 South. Even the location has historical meaning – it was the site of the community's first outdoor pool.
The museum will display artifacts that have been collected over the past 20 years, including many artifacts which have never been seen by the public. Kearns historian, Pam Todd, has been active in collecting items from Camp Kearns. "There's a story behind every item that will displayed," she said in a press release, "everything from rare letters home, uniforms, scrapbooks, linens, dishes, soaps, food, a daily log and shoe repairs—to the base newspaper."
Since Kearns will celebrate its 75th anniversary next year, "This will be a great way for kids to earn a merit badge, and to see the rare and rich history Kearns has," she said. "It is our hope that we can participate each year [in the museum day]."
Until some future day, when Kearns can get its own museum, this may be best chance to get a look at the community's history on display at one site. Don't miss the opportunity!

Anyone else have trouble not eating the snacks you feed your kids? (self.xxketo)
submitted 1 year ago by bmowzah
I've read a lot of comments on r/Keto about how to stay iron-willed you simply get rid of all the non Keto food items and such. Anyone else find this hard to do because :kids?
And no, I can't get my one yr old and definitely not my 3 yr old to eat Keto. Though they do eat more proteins that's the most I can get.
Any advice to stay "iron-willed" around kid snacks? ( I hate throwing away that perfectly good PB-Nutella sandwich crust. ) >.<
[–]gowahoocame for the weight loss, stayed for the energy 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago*
My kids have mostly grown up on Weston Price style traditional foods diet, which is lower carb than SAD but not keto. They eat lots of food that's not keto, fruit for example. The way I've dealt with things they don't finish is to cover them up and stick in the fridge and offer to them later. Yes, some of it does get thrown away that didn't get used to. But not all! I also no longer regularly buy things like nutella because it is just too big of a temptation for me. Same thing with bread. It occasionally comes our way for french toast which my mister makes for him and the girls but I do not partake.
The other big thing is that I've started to offer them snacks that can easily become keto friendly: hard boiled eggs, cheese sticks, sunflower seeds, almonds, etc etc.
If we don't consider grains and excess carbs healthy for us, there is no reason to consider them healthy for our children. So inconclusion, here is a list of "easy to make leftovers into keto" snacks:
Good luck!

I have twin toddlers and do find myself snaking on "their" food as well. The only solution I found was to slowly quit buying most of their high carb food until the only things they eat that I don't are fruits and breaded meats. I still nibble on their left over fruit by I can stay away from the fishsticks without much effort.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
I just want to say that I think it is fantastic that you brought your little ones to a healthier style of eating. It's a lot of hard work and a lot of discipline for your kids to learn that this is what we eat now, but when you have the fortitude to eliminate what you know to be garbage from their diet, they're just going to be so much better off.
Good job, momma. And you get to stay keto more often as well!
[–]rarcke-50lbs! F 5'5" 240190|155 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Thank you! When I realized that one of my girls was already overweight at age two I knew I couldn't just let it happen to another generation. My husband and I had already been keto-ing for 4 months with much success. We just quit buying the Graham crackers and Goldfish and survived the tantrums for a few days until my kids got used to the idea. I still can't get them to eat chicken not in nuggets but they do love bacon and ham. They get lots of fruit and mixed vegetables. I wouldn't say they are keto, but their diets very much healthier than the other kids we know.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Mine are the same way, we had some tantrums for a couple days, but lo! Now they're choosing hard eggs, veggies and fruits, etc. My 18MO daughter just started eating solids when I started keto, so she's been basically used to it and I can put candy and a raw veggie on a plate in front of her and she will pick the veggie every time. My son had a harder time warming up to it but unlimited cheese and meat has brought him to the dark side!
[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago*
I have kids and guess what, I took bites of their things here and there. It just takes practice. The reason you are eating things they have is because you want it. You just have to work on not eating it even though you want it. Tell yourself, Yea, I know what it tastes like. Bite one tastes the same as bite 2,3,4,etc.
Also, I switched my family (my 1 year old and 3 year old and hubby) to grain and sugar free. They eat a modified keto since they eat all veggies and fresh fruits but no candy or bread or any of that.
What helped me before this change was to feed my kids my snacks and have them eat meals I was eating. Not having two menus in one house is very much easier than having to handle junk food all day, feed it to your whole family, then not eat it yourself.
I don't mean to sound condescending. I had no self control before. I've even taken bites of the kids' food and literally spit it out of my mouth on a couple of different occasions. But little by little you work up to that iron will. Now if I eat a bite or serving of something not specifically keto, it's because I want to, not because I can't not eat it.
[–]DivaDragonf/33/5'6" | 264/213/150 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago*
If you don't have crap in the house, they will come around to other stuff. The first time I made cauliflower mash my 6 year old was like hell no, but I stopped making potatoes and now she loves cauliflower. I stopped buying garbage food for her, the worst she gets now is those organic yogurt squeezers, which have sugar but at least they also have some probiotics and calcium and stuff. She eats a lot of those little wax cheeses, cut up veggie and fruit, and pepperoni as snacks. I had to laugh and also shake my fist at the nutella sandwich remark, because I used to get that for her, and every time we pass the peanut butter aisle, she will say all sad and wistful-like, "I wish we could get just one little jar of nutella Mommy" and I think hell no I'm not giving you chocolate candy spread you little sugar fiend! If you mix some unsweetened cocoa powder into your peanut butter and add a little splenda, it makes a fab treat that the kiddos will love and is safe for you to have too, not quite as yummy as nutella (damn you and your hazelnut deliciousness D: ) but it's really satisfying and you can put it on celery or even just a spoon lol
Edit: Also, if they have a lot left over, start feeding them smaller portions and giving them seconds if need be, and cutting crusts off to begin with if they won't eat them, that kind of thing so you won't have the leftovers tempting you or going to waste
[–]HSMOM30F/5'1 3/4" CW 268.4 LBS/ GW 125LBS. 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
Have a nibble, and I mean a NIBBLE. I'm pretty good at staying strong, but if its something I've made thats super tempting, I allow myself a bite. Let that one bite satisfy you, and move on.
[–]Chefbexter 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago
You're not a dog. Just because the kids aren't going to eat those scraps, it doesn't mean you have to! (not trying to be mean, but think of it that way and maybe it will help!)
Honestly, I don't have kids, but I live with 3 people who are carb lovers, and I just tell myself that I don't eat that stuff anymore. It helps if I don't let myself get hungry because there are sugary starchy snacks all over the house.
[–]JosephineRyan 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
It's not that much about eating their leftovers, but more that it's a bit heartbreaking to decline when my toddler offers me something, when she wants to share something with me because she wants to be kind to me.
I usually take it and pretend I ate it, and then put it back on her plate.
[–]Chefbexter 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
I do this too! I know what you mean- it's so sweet when a little kid wants to share something with you. Especially remembering what a big deal candy or a cookie was when I was a little kid.
[–]supplebigredk 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
I have a three year old and what has been working for me is to give her her lunch first and when she is about halfway done, I go make my own. This way I am away from the bits she doesn't want, she can show me from the table how much she has eaten once she claims she's done and then I get her to scrape her dish herself.
It's been working so far, and it's been teaching her to clean up her own food messes which is always a bonus.
But for when she wants popcorn and a movie, I cut up a chocolate granola bar into about a dozen tiny pieces and I will eat just one right before the movie starts and my cravings will be totally satisfied.
I also make my snacks more accessible than her snacks to me. So cashews on the counter all the time, almonds at eye level in the pantry, pre made bacon at the front of the fridge etc.
I hope this helps and good luck.
[–]Quietly_AliceF 27 5'5" CW:280 GW:180 (Just started walking) 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago
My 8 and 4 year old will not eat Keto either. I can't stay on the diet because of it. I don't like throwing away food and they are always leaving left over mashed potatos (they won't eat califlower mash) or rice....or crust like you said.
No suggestions, just here to let you know I feel your pain!
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I oddly don't get this anymore. I used to. I don't know if it's because I take good supplements and eat very well, keeping my body happy, or if I've just gotten tougher. I did live 6 years in a developing country with lots of sacrifices, so it's possible I'm more detached than I was--but I suspect the vitamins and veggies.
I do, however, intentionally get off the bus on MAJOR holidays, and when I'm ill. And I regularly eat berries and dark chocolate (unsweetened) and make myself keto treats every once in a while. Maybe that's all helped as well.
[–]sprgtimeSW 267 CW 247 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I no longer finish my son's food unless it's keto.
That's a huge change for me. I didn't realize I was eating so much of his leftovers until I stopped.
I also try to avoid serving him foods that would be very tempting for me. My husband isn't keto, so he can be the one to dish up ice cream so I'm not tempted to lick the scoop, ya know?
Already I can tell my example in what I eat (and what I don't) is changing my son's food preferences. So I'm thrilled about that.
Our pantry and freezer has plenty of non-keto items. I'm not replacing them as they get used up by my husband and son. My husband may buy some things, but it hasn't happened yet. Anyhow, I feel you - it does make it harder when your house is filled with things you can't have. The first time around that I did keto, everything in the house was keto-friendly... so when I was snackish and looking around for something, anything I saw was fair game. That's easier.

Messaging software vendor Sendmail on Tuesday announced it is working with Hewlett-Packard and Intel to develop a Linux-based e-mail server designed for deskless enterprise workers.
The Workforce Mail offering combines Sendmail's e-mail software, HP Proliant Servers, and Intel's Centrino low-power wireless platform running on Linux. The system aims to cost effectively pull mobile workers or healthcare and factory workers who do not typically sit at a desktop computer into the electronic communications fold, according to Greg Olson, chairman, co-founder andexecutive vice president of business development at Emeryville, Calif.-based Sendmail.
"Companies are pretty much run by e-mail, [so] there is an opportunity to reach many workers who do not have access to e-mail," he said. "Many of the information processes in a company gets to non e-mail workers much more slowly and the cost of [distributing] that information is much more expensive."
The joint solution is based on Linux because that proved to be the most cost effective platform for deploying a messaging system, according to Olson. It is about half the cost to deploy the same application on an Intel/Linux platform than a Sun Solaris platform, he said.
In addition to messaging software, Sendmail also provides filtering and content management technology and hosting services.
Workforce Mail integrates with such departmental messaging systems as IBM's Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange through integration with Sendmail's directory services.
Providing e-mail for mobile and deskless workers is shaping up to be a hot, emerging market. According to sources, IBM next week is expected to roll out its low-cost Workplace Messaging e-mail system, which was first announced at the company's Lotusphere conference in January. The offering is built on the WebSphere and DB2 platforms and is designed to bring basic e-mail functions to non-traditional enterprise workers at a low cost.

George Orwell would be proud of the Washington state Senate. The new coalition of control which has all of the Senate Republicans and two of the Senate Democrats crows about "bipartisanship." Republican Mark Schoesler and Democrat Rodney Tom claim the burning issues will now operate independently of party affiliation. Yet, in order to operate at all, 100 percent of all the Republicans must vote in unison. And of course, Rodney Tom and Tim Sheldon must also vote with the R's.
Note that Tom has indicated that although some Senate D's are likely to support this coalition, he gave no indication that any R would cross over. Why would they? To do so, would break up their control.
This is bipartisanship? I think not. Key committees will still have a Republican majority plus two (counting Tom and Sheldon). This is all about domination and power, not about a new spirit of working toward a common good. The only "good" going on here is the clever power play by the R's who have tapped into the egos of Sens. Sheldon, Tom, and Pam Roach to wrest control of the Senate. Orwell would understand this.
Anyone who believes that a new kumbaya spirit will now prevail in the Senate should remember that the difference between the Boy Scouts and the Senate is that the Scouts are led by adults.

Cons: The light is one led in one side of the collar, and there is a plastic strap with some white fabric with picachu-dog style. Looks nice because the light is kind of uniformly dispersed arround the collar, but of course, closer to the light is more brightness.
