Proper Treasure Never Comes Cheap: Card Hunter and the Cash Shop

How did this game launch without any sort of co-op?
Disclaimer: The opinions and viewpoints expressed by the author do not necessarily reflect the opinions and viewpoints of Neoseeker.
I could hardly contain myself upon hearing that Card Hunter was now available to play. A free-to-play Dungeons & Dragons inspired card game? Sold, sold, and sold again. I lost a good portion of my weekend to the newly released Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, another deck-building and dungeon-diving experience, and loved every second. Honestly, the Card Hunter developers could throw a plain deck of cards on the table and say the spades are orcs and the diamonds are dwarves and I'd be smitten.
However, my expectations were quickly thrown into disarray for a number of reasons. Some of which ultimately proved a bit too uncomfortable to keep myself playing. At the same time, there are many aspects of the game that are truly fun and worth trying out. Perhaps I can best summarize it this way: I expected a Dungeons & Dragons inspired card game that was free-to play, but what I received was a free-to-play game played with cards and inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. Does that make sense?
I digress, let's go over what Card Hunter is and isn't and whether it's worth the time is so clearly values so little.
On Co-op and Cost
My first grand assumption and disappointment was that Card Hunter was cooperative, or at least could be played cooperatively. Logging into the game for the first time a player takes on a party of three heroes. Almost immediately my mind bounced to old pen and paper sessions, roleplaying in online games, and how much I loved sharing those experiences with friends. In fact, the value I find in those party-based experiences comes almost entirely from the shared experiences with other nerds, whether they be friends or strangers. Card Hunter has no cooperative mode. There's competitive multiplayer, but that's something else entirely.
I mention cooperative mode, or the lack thereof, early because it truly frames the experience quite well. Card Hunter uses and references the themes and settings of a Dungeon & Dragons game, as well as what it means to be a nerd playing such a game, to create its basic structure, but at its heart is a much different experience. Here's where we dig into part two of my impressions: the pervasiveness of free-to-play mechanics within the game.
It's a rather damning claim to assert that any free-to-play title sells power, but there's really no other way to describe Card Hunter's business structure. Card Hunter is broken up into individual adventures spread across a map, each with their own recommended adventurer level so parties know where to go. Each adventure is broken into several battles, and each battle reward the player with a loot chest. Loot means upgrading the members of your party's weapons an armor and thus becomes method of progression in the game, though experience levels play a large role in that too.
Our first item up for purchase is the Card Hunter Club, a monthly ~$10 subscription that gives you an extra piece of loot from every chest you open. Not only that, but the item is guaranteed to be as rare or rarer than the best item acquired from the chest. There may be a randomness to it, but it states rather bluntly that members get better items.A $10 sub isn't so bad for awesome content, right? Yet that's only the first of many pervasive in-game purchase options. There's an additional 11 missions that won't unlock without purchase (that also have epic loot rewards unavailable to non-paying players), there's alternate skins for your party members. Oh, you can straight up by more treasure chests too, or just exchange real money for gold to buy the exact item you want from the store.
Meanwhile progress through single-player, which at first seems like a standard RPG grinding structure, slowly evolves into a very persuasive sales pitch in itself. Each adventure, when completed, becomes locked for 24 hours. On top of that, failing a mission multiple times will lock it as well. As low as level 6 players reach a point where experience and loot begin to scale noticeably slower. As we wait for old missions to reopen, those pay-locked adventures with rare rewards sit for players to stare at. It's almost too much. Even the narrative in the game seems designed in a way to subtly implore you to purchase the premium currency. Buy more pizza and win over that pizza girl, guys!
What sucks is that beyond the ingrained free-to-play-ness on the overworld map and in each mission's beginning and end, Card Hunter's actual gameplay is ridiculously fun. Each party member has their own deck of customized abilities determined by the items they have equipped. Fighters decks are packed with armor and melee attack abilities, wizards with spells and various support skills, and then there's a huge variety of enemies that with each mission introduce challenging and strategic gameplay.
It makes it all the more frustrating to complete a mission and see an item that would fit perfectly in my priest's healing deck locked behind a pay gate. It's not that I don't want to pay money for a good game. I'm a huge supporter of free-to-play games and the dumbest of in-game purchases. It's that it's so ingrained in the experience, as if taunting every success and failure. "Well Rory, maybe you should spend $10 here and things will go smoother." Yet I know that even that would only suffice to level up me so much more before the game's structure pulled me back down and ask for more money, or worse more of my time.
Final Thoughts
This is why I love subscription-based MMOs. I know I can spend $15 each month and be on even ground with every other player in-game. More than that, I know the designers are focused entirely on creating content to keep my invested from month to month. With Card Hunters, how much do I need to invest to receive that sort of security? There's a $99 bundle of premium cash marked "Best Value". Would that buy me equal footing with every other player? Would that buy me trust that the developers will focus on creating additional, affordable content versus more money sinks?
I'd like to play more Card Hunter, but I get the feeling there are two games at work here and one will continuously be overshadowed by the other.

I feel you are too harsh on the micro-transaction model of card hunter. If you are looking to play completely for free, it will take time to grind your up the power scale. However, it is possible. All cards are available to all players.
I don't like micro-transactions and am skeptical of any new games with it. I purchased the $25 package that gives extra character models, 100 pizza, unlocks all bonus adventures(extra content) & club membership for one month. I looked at this as a game cost and I feel good about the purchase. I haven't used the pizza and the extra loot with the membership is nice. I don't see any reason to spend any more money till there is an expansion and there are hours of content. After playing through the whole campaign, each scenario has challenges like.. complete mission without dieing, play with all cards with drawbacks, play with all clerics, etc.. For me, I like jumping on single player and chipping away at this content because the AI and challenges are well constructed.
I haven't played multilayer, but one encouraging sign is that matchmaking is done by player rating. You can even get matched against AI if no-one is available at your level. This nullifies the cash=win argument.
In summary, I feel card hunter is a solid game with a good single player challenge. Totally playable for free, but may be too much of a grind for some. For $25, extra content and club membership provide faster loot to get powerful more quickly.

With the Oscars closing in, the competition is narrowing
We normally look at the precursory awards in the lead up to the Oscars as a bellwether for Academy predictions, but this year's gongs have gone to a varied set of recipients, giving us no indication as to which direction the golden statuettes will be heading come March 2014.
Joaquin Phoenix in Her
And it appears as though The Los Angeles Film Critics Association are just as muddled with their hypothesis - they couldn't split the difference between Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity and Spike Jonez's latest effort, Her. The first is an epic journey through space with incredible visuals, while the second is a futuristic love story starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson, but they both received the top prize from the LAFCA last night (Sunday 9, December).
With Gravity having dominated at the Venice film festival, following up its impressive festival circuit with a slew of gushing reviews, it was considered a nailed-on favourite for Best Picture and Best Director. But Her's reception has been equally doting, suggesting this will be one of the closest Oscar races yet.
Previously, the New York Film Critics Circle named David O Russell's American Hustle best as film; The National Board of Review picked Her for the equivalent prize, while The Gotham Awards' picture of choice was the Coen brothers' folk tale Inside Llewyn Davis. And 12 Years a Slave isn't even out yet. Check out our Oscars betting guide to see where your money should be going this year.
Gravity - Above Earth
Elsewhere in L.A, Nebraska's Bruce Dern was celebrated for his role in the black & white, father & son, indie flick - he received the best actor award. Before Midnight - written by director Richard Linklater and his two stars, Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke – got the best screenplay nod, and everyone's favourite for the Oscars' Best Foreign Language film, Blue Is The Warmest Color picked up the equivalent.

House Republicans are challenging Speaker Nancy Pelosi's claim that the massive stimulus spending bill contains no pet projects after uncovering in the bill more than $30 million for wetlands conservation in her San Francisco Bay area district, including work she previously championed to protect the salt marsh harvest mouse.
"This sounds like spending projects that have been supported by a certain powerful Democrat in the past," said Michael Steel, spokesman for House Minority Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican.
"It certainly doesn't sound like it will create or save American jobs," he said. "So can Speaker Pelosi explain exactly how we will improve the American economy by helping the adorable little" critter?

This trigger is adjustable for pull weight, creep, and backlash. Minor fitting may be required. Instructions included. The safety is a 3 position system, safety with bolt-lock, safety without bolt-lock, and fire. The Howa 1500 action does not take advantage of the safety with bolt-lock position, therefore it is neccessary to remove the bolt-lock tab from the safety (instructions included). The overtravel adjustment screw has been eliminated, therefore the overtravel is not adjustable. If this trigger will not work with a particular style of Howa 1500, Timney will alter the trigger at no charge if the trigger is returned directly to Timney.

From the White House:
The Treaty does not contain any constraints on testing, development or deployment of... current or planned United States long-range conventional strike capabilities.
From the Russian foreign ministry via the Voice of Russia:
The new START Treaty, to be signed shortly, for the first time sets limits on both nuclear and non-nuclear carriers. Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, as he spoke on the 'TV Centr' Television channel on Saturday, that the provision restricting carriers with non-nuclear warheads was included in the Russian-American treaty because the United States has been producing such carriers in large quantities.

I study a lot of articles and the manual of OpenACC but still i don't understand the main difference of these two constructs.
A good treatment of this specific question is contained in this PGI article.
Quoting from the article summary: "The OpenACC kernels and parallel constructs each try to solve the same problem, identifying loop parallelism and mapping it to the machine parallelism. The kernels construct is more implicit, giving the compiler more freedom to find and map parallelism according to the requirements of the target accelerator. The parallel construct is more explicit, and requires more analysis by the programmer to determine when it is legal and appropriate. "
OpenACC directives and GPU kernels are just two ways of representing the same thing -- a section of code that can run in parallel.
OpenACC may be best when retrofitting an existing app to take advantage of a GPU and/or when it is desirable to let the compiler handle more details related to issues such as memory management. This can make it faster to write an app, with a potential cost in performance.
Kernels may be best when writing a GPU app from scratch and/or when more fine grained control is desired. This can make the app take longer to write, but may increase performance.
I think that people new to GPUs may be tempted to go with OpenACC because it looks more familiar. But I think it's actually better to go the other way, and start with writing kernels, and then, potentially move to OpenACC to save time in some projects. The reason is that OpenACC is a leaky abstraction. So, while OpenACC may make it look as if the GPU details are abstracted out, they are still there. So, using OpenACC to write GPU code without understanding what is happening in the background is likely to be frustrating, with odd error messages when attempting to compile, and result in an app that has low performance.

Vatican Splendors: From Saint Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Swiss Guard
Remember that Onion headline a few years back when Pope John Paul II died? "Heaven Less Opulent Than Vatican, Reports Disappointed Pope." Zing. Everybody knows that the pope and his posse at the Vatican live surrounded by ornate and priceless treasures amid ancient buildings designed and decorated by brilliant minds from the past. And now you can see it up close. In St. Paul for one of only three U.S. stops, the traveling exhibit "Vatican Splendors: From Saint Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Swiss Guard," brings the grandeur of the world's smallest city-state to the Catholic faithful and curious non-Catholics alike. The pieces presented span thousands of years of Catholic history and show a side of the Vatican not seen at the pope's public receptions. The show includes the Mandylion of Edessa, what is thought to be the first image of Jesus to make its way to Rome; a reliquary containing what the Vatican says are the bones of Saint Peter; and schematics for the original Saint Peter's Basilica built by Constantine. More modern objects on display include a white smoke cartridge used to announce the election of Pope Benedict XVI, John Paul II's pastoral staff, and photos and stories examining his work around the world.

Andrx Holders Approve Watson Deal
(ADRX) says its shareholders have endorsed a $25-a-share buyout from rival Watson Pharmaceuticals (WPI). Shareholders of Andrx, based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., voted Wednesday on a deal that should be completed in the third quarter, the companies said. Watson is based in Corona, Calif.The $1.9 billion cash transaction must be approved by the Federal Trade Commission, which has twice asked the companies for more information, most recently in early May. For the deal to close, "other various conditions" must be met. The companies didn't provide details. Although a special Andrx shareholder meeting was scheduled for 10 a.m. EDT, the companies didn't announce the results until after the markets had closed. In regular trading, Andrx closed at $23.42, up 7 cents. After hours, the stock gained 3 cents. Watson's stock closed at $23.32, up 5 cents. The Andrx-Watson deal represents another example of generic drug-industry consolidation. On Tuesday, Barr Pharmaceuticals (BRL) signed an agreement to pay $2.2 billion for Pliva,Generic-drug maker Andrx

for Students- Good Grades Rewards
Pros & Cons
This card rewards good grades by offering students with a 3.0 GPA (and better) cash back equal to 1% of their student loan principal balance.
If you have relatively low student loan debt, and an excellent credit score, you'll be able to find other credit cards with larger rewards

Once a spin-off of a Sears retail credit card project, Discover has grown into a consumer lending powerhouse with hooks into the student loan and mortgage industries. With the Discover it® for Students- Good Grades Rewards card, the lender wants to prove that qualifying for a student credit card doesn't mean putting up with stripped-down features. It's part of a long term customer loyalty strategy that should force Discover's rival to take notice.
Reinventing the student credit card with personal service
Before 2009's Credit CARD Act, most student credit cards attracted new customers by setting up shop at campus events and trading small tchotchkes for applications. At the risk of stereotyping college students, applicants rarely looked at APRs or rewards programs. Instead, the card with the best t-shirt, frisbee, or spring break getaway coupon often ended up in a student's wallet.
Federal regulations gutted the market for bad student credit cards by restricting marketing practices on campus and by requiring adult cosigners for applicants under age 21. Most college students who carry credit cards now pack an additional card from a parent's rewards credit card account -- usually with far better perks than the typical student credit card.
Discover it® for Students-Double Cash Back your first year doesn't water down the cardholder experience, like many other student credit cards. By hosting all of its customer support teams at facilities inside the United States, Discover prevents a lot of the cultural and language disconnects that can frustrate first-time cardholders when account problems arise. In fact, Discover's call center agents have even been empowered to remove some service fees and renegotiate payment schedules while helping students learn to handle cash effectively.
Best student credit card for cash back rewards
This card is best if you're establishing credit for the first time, but you don't want to pass up the kind of rewards usually offered to consumers with stronger credit histories. This student cash back credit card carries the same feature set as the regular Discover it® card, including:
1 percent cash back on all purchases;
and 5 percent cash back tied to quarterly promotions, subject to quarterly enrollment and quarterly maximum spend
no foreign transaction fees;
flexible payment options;
no late fee on the first late payment and paying late won't increase your APR.*
Thanks to a partnership with Amazon.com, cardholders can instantly exchange CashBack Bonus balances for just about anything. Easy online and telephone payment options make this an ideal alternative for parents nervous about their kids picking up cash from ATMs or from wire services.
How Discover it® for Students-Double Cash Back your first
year compares to other student credit cards
Discover's entry into the student loan servicing business gives their student credit card a distinct competitive advantage. The data Discover collects from student loan recipients and their institutions helps it make better offers to new cardholders.

Windows Embedded Standard does not normally require too much troubleshooting, because the boot process is exactly the same as in XP Professional. But, according to Murphy's Law, something will go wrong, no matter how the small the chance is. This post will try to give an overview of the most common reasons for failure and the ways to resolve them.

At Windows Embedded, we're excited to be part of Microsoft's announcement today: the general availability of Windows 8.1. This latest chapter in the Windows evolution takes Microsoft, our partners and customers, and consumers to new heights across a world of devices. It's the realization of value driven by increased productivity and ultra-connectivity that extends from our personal lives to our workplaces, from the cities we live in to global business and beyond.
With the release of Windows 8.1 and Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry, Microsoft achieves a tremendous milestone: The simultaneous availability of the latest Windows technologies across a wide array of hardware for consumers and for businesses, from the convenience and mobility of tablets and 2-in-1s, to the productive experience expected from laptops and all-in-ones, to ATMs, POS terminals, sonograms and other specialized industry devices.
Comments Windows Embedded Standard
Posted By J.T. KimbellProgram Manager
Over the next week we're going to have a small series highlighting various Lockdown features on Windows Embedded Standard 8. In this first post Kevin Asgari gives us an overview of the Lockdown and Branding features found in Windows Embedded Standard 8. Kevin is a Writer for the Windows Embedded team and in his spare time enjoys reading, skiing, visiting wineries, and spending time with family.
Windows Embedded Standard provides a building block version of the Windows operating system, enabling you to create a smaller, customized version of Windows by removing functionality that your device does not need. In addition, Windows Embedded Standard provides additional functionality for embedded devices that is not available in the full Windows OS. In Windows Embedded Standard 7 and earlier, we called these new features "embedded enabling features", or EEFs for short.
However, "embedded enabling features" is not a very descriptive term. In Windows Embedded Standard 8, we now call these features lockdown and branding features.
Lockdown features enable you to provide a controlled device experience, mainly by limiting the ways in which an end user can interact with the device. For example, your device may be a dedicated cashier device that runs a full screen cashier application, and you may want to prevent users from being able to use Windows shortcut keys like Alt+Tab to switch out of the application, or Alt+4 to close the application.
Branding features enable you to hide or change many of the parts of the OS that identify it as a Windows product. You may want the devices your company produces to show only your company's branding to your customers for better brand recognition, or you may want to hide the underlying OS so that end users are less likely to try to break out of the tailored device experience.

At the recent Visual Studio launch event, it was confirmed that Visual Studio 2012 will once again include support for Windows Embedded Compact. Included in that support we're targeting much of the newest compiler and tools functionality, most notable of which includes new compiler features such as C++11 language standards, faster more efficient code generated, an updated CRT, auto-parallelization and auto-vectorization (Wow, that's a mouthful.), range based loops, RValue references, and more. Also included will be an updated version of .net CF which has greatly improved performance, particularly around memory allocation and garbage collection - using the "generational" garbage collector. This not only provides more performance, but more predictability in the execution of applications.
More information about the new Visual Studio, including support for Compact, can be found at the Visual Studio Launch site. (Yes, I'm in the video and no, I'm not going to be able to make a living in front of the camera. But it's the message that's important here.)
Be sure to check back in the future as we release more information on the upcoming Windows Embedded Compact release.
Comments Windows Embedded Compact
In a previous post, I discussed the Windows Embedded Compact 2013 announcement and a number of great new features in the OS and tools. With those posts, I received a number of questions about the tools. As you all know, Windows Embedded Platform builder (PB) is a plug in to Visual Studio. For Windows Embedded Compact 7, our Platform Builder plug in and tools were hosted by Visual Studio 2008, while Platform Builder in Windows Embedded Compact 2013 will be hosted in Visual Studio 2012. A number of people asked whether PB from Windows Embedded Compact 7 could be hosted in Visual Studio 2012, or alternatively whether PB from Windows Embedded Compact 2013 can target Windows Embedded Compact 7. Unfortunately, the answer to that is no. There had to be significant changes to both Windows Embedded Compact 2013, including PB, as well as Visual Studio 2012 to support the latest versions of each. The hosting has changed, and more importantly, the compilers and ABI (Application Binary Interface) to the ARM chipset has changed and are incompatible with each other. Even though each version of Windows Embedded Compact 7 can target the same chipset in this case, the compilers from each cannot support the other. More information will be posted on this in a future article.
While the Windows Embedded Compact 2013 announcement is certainly exciting, we want to continue posting great information on Windows Embedded Compact 7 as well. To that end, we have another great in-depth article from Doug Boling to share.
Microsoft Platform Builder is a tool that anyone who ports Windows Embedded Compact will live in throughout the project. (PB is also used when creating new device images from scratch. This information certainly applies to that scenario as well.) Given the time spent in this tool, it's critical that your development machine be properly configured to maximize the performance of the tool and by implication your performance.

STRATHCLYDE University's Summer Academy has celebrated its fifth anniversary - and more than 1400 'graduates'.
The one-week Accelerate Programme for pupils at the end of S4, S5 and S6 gives youngsters the chance to find out about their chosen area of study.
Potential university students can choose from 10 subject areas, including physics, law, business and enterprise.
Scottish Learning Minister Alasdair Allan said: : "The programme is a great example of how students can benefit from a subject-specific focus. It allows them to become more confident and informed within their area of academic interest.
"It is also an opportunity for learners to experience a university environment and to build relationships with academic specialists.
"I congratulate all the students graduating this week on what they have achieved.
"I also hope their exam results, together with what they have learned through the programme, have set them on a path of continued learning and curiosity."

Dean Shiels' double against East Fife could earn him a start at Forfar on Monday
Derek Johnstone, Football columnist / / Sport
I URGED the Rangers forward Dean Shiels to speak to the manager face to face to sort out his future at the Ibrox club in my column last week.
Well, I am pleased to see Dean has gone out and done his talking on the park. The player's agent had come out in the newspapers and asked for a meeting with Ally McCoist to determine where his client stood.
That, for me, was not how to go about things. It suggested the player wanted away. I am sure Ally would have preferred it if Dean had knocked on his door and had a chat with him in person.
Anyway, he got the nod to start his first game in four months against East Fife and grasped his chance. I didn't think the Northern Ireland international was absolutely outstanding for the 90 minutes, but he certainly showed why Rangers bought him.
He scored both of the goals in a 2-0 victory and his overall play was decent. Considering he had not been involved for so long it was impressive.
Importantly, he was utilised in a role that suits him. He wasn't played out wide or up front. He slotted in just behind the striker.
Yes, he only got the nod because of injuries and suspensions, but how he got a game is irrelevant. He staked a claim for regular inclusion with his display.
He did exactly what the manager wants the fringe players to do when they get a chance - come in and make it hard for him to leave them out. I would not be at all surprised if we saw Dean start at Forfar on Monday night.

Malvina by ChazieBakaWatch
©2013-2016 ChazieBaka
Next in the series of girls from the past (as in a group of girls I created in 2005)
Malvina is half-asian, half-black. She's one of those intimidatingly pretty girls but she's actually not as smug as she looks.
I laughed so hard at what she said. she's very cute though!
Haha I'm kind of poking fun at token ethnic minorities in shows/comics like "there needs to be a black chick or an asian chick in there" so I thought she'd be BOTH and be really mad at stereotypes from both of her ethnicities x) (is it me or are asian characters ALWAYS into martial arts??)
She is quite pretty

Almost simultaneous to Athens Clarke-County Commissioner Kathy Hoard's announcement that she won't seek re-election in May, a friend of hers said she wants to pick up the torch.
U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey defended Monday the partial shutdown of the federal government as a worthwhile tactic to end the Affordable Care Act.Gingrey, a hopeful to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, blasted the health insurance overhaul bill and President Barack Obama's signature legislation in a stump speech at the monthly Athens GOP meeting.
Randall Pugh stood in the control room for the Jackson Electric Membership Corporation recently and stared at the screens that fill the wall. They showed different colored shapes and lines on top of the utility company's service area, displaying in real time the workers and the outages and routes of the electricity.
The downtown infrastructure plan that will end with Clayton Street's facelift was unanimously approved Tuesday evening by the Athens-Clarke County commission.
The vote authorizes the Athens-Clarke County staff to bid out the construction of the project. This portion of the corridor's special purpose local option sales tax-funded improvement is expected to cost $4.2 million.
The Athens-Clarke County Board of Elections voted to postpone its election day precinct plan, leaving the number of polling places from 2012 in place for the upcoming cycle.
A concept for the plan, which would have almost halved the number of election day polling places in favor of expanded early voting stations, was approved by the mayor and commission. The board of elections reversed course as reports of issues with state election software in other counties surfaced. Members cited issues with voter's cards listing the wrong precincts or mistakenly labeling them felons.
Added space, a cat shelter and indoor puppy and kitten rooms could be among the improvements in store for the Athens Animal Shelter.
The Athens-Clarke County Commission will vote on approving the concept of the $601,000 special purpose local option sales tax-funded expansion tonight .
In the balance hangs what Animal Control Superintendent Patrick Rives described as a building that can better house animals, help potential owners get to know furry friends and keep sick ones away from the general populations.
Athens tattoo parlor owner Ryan Berry intends to take on incumbent Nancy Denson in the 2014 election for Athens-Clarke County mayor.
Berry recently made a Facebook page declaring his candidacy, but said he'll be more-or-less mum on policy proposals and platforms until a campaign kick-off event in coming weeks.
"I'm an Athenian for Athenians," he said. "We want to take back Athens and keep it local. Athens voices aren't heard as clearly as they should be in our community."
Terrapin Beer Company was cited four times recently by the Georgia Department of Revenue for allegedly violating regulations pertaining to brewery tours.
According to the citations, Terrapin was cited twice for providing 32 ounces of beer or malt beverage without conducting a two-hour tour and twice for not posting signs or distributing notices that tour attendees are not required to purchase souvenir containers to participate in tours or tastings. It was cited once on each charge on Oct. 10 and again Oct. 24.
Selig Enterprises pulling the plug on its downtown Athens project leaves a $90 million hole in the area.
It was the forerunner to what would become a quarter-billion dollars in publicly announced investment in downtown by 2020. Losing it cuts that investment by a third.
It was also to be the landmark investment in the east side corridor that otherwise towers with student housing, but not much retail.
Despite millions already poured into the project, Selig backed out last week. It cited a new market analysis and lack of funding in the announcement as reasons.
The North Georgia Pecan Company has left its home of 65 years, but landed with one of its many owners in its history.
Bob Shields, owner of Birchmore Shields Pool & Spa, recently opened the shop in its new home on Oneta Street, attached to his existing business there.
"It's a pretty simple business, but it's a three-month business – November, December and January – which goes perfect with the pool business," Shields said.

Idris Elba was featured in Paris Match's January 2015 Issue with photos photographed by Francois Berthier. 13 incredible shots of him have been added to our photo gallery!
Big Driis attended the JAGUAR XE presentation at Umspannwerk on January 27, 2015 in Berlin, Germany. 28 photos have been added to our site.
Idris Elba was all smiles at the New York Knicks v Milwaukee Bucks Game on January 15, 2015. 12 medium quality images have been added to our library.
Sébastien Ogier welcomed British actor Idris Elba into the passenger seat of his Polo R WRC on January 22nd, before taking the Golden Globe winner on a tour of the principality's winding streets on a specially cordoned off circuit along the same stretch of road used for the Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco. 4 photos have been added to our gallery!
MotorAuthority.com — Idris Elba may be the self-appointed King of Speed but it seems he's about to focus more on fuel economy. Jaguar just tapped the British actor and musician to handle driving duties behind the wheel of a diesel-powered Jaguar XE. The small sports sedan needs to get to Berlin for its German launch, and Elba will be piloting it from a London starting point as a bit of a promotional stunt.
Jaguar and Elba will create a series of short films to chronicle the trip, and they'll hit the Internet on February 10 via the automaker's social media sites. This trip will take Elba, who has appeared in films such as Thor, Prometheus, Pacific Rim and American Gangster, and the car through four countries over the course of three days and 750 miles. He should see strong fuel economy numbers thanks to the promise of over 62 mpg from the XE's available turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine.
Mind you, that figure is based on European fuel economy testing, which is a bit a more liberal than our EPA tests, which should see the car's mileage move close to 40 mpg by our calculations. That's still extremely impressive, and we'd have to imagine it's, of course, due in part to the engine but also to that aluminum body construction.
Regardless, we're still in wait-and-see mode on that front as the car doesn't arrive here until 2016. And fingers crossed we get this diesel variant too. At the moment we only know of gasoline-powered 2.0-liter turbo fours and supercharged 3.0-liter V-6s heading our way.
Note, this isn't the first time Jaguar Land Rover has enlisted the help of celebrities to help promote its wares. Singer Lana Del Rey was enlisted to help promote the F-Type and actor Daniel Craig helped with promotion of Land Rover's Range Rover Sport.
Idris Elba, an actor with a director's itch he's been scratching, returns behind the camera again, to direct a SKY Arts' "Playhouse Presents" TV drama titled "King for a Term," which is apparently currently shooting.
We are filming King For A Term with Idris Elba. We need a car that is 1980 or before – know anyone who has a car that age around Hackney?
— Queensbridge Primary (@QueensbridgeSch) January 23, 2015
IndieWire.com — And thanks to reader (and actor) Hoji Fortuna, who shared the info with me, here's a description of the project: "A low budget, one-off drama for SKY "Playhouse." The story follows 9 year old boy, Akuna, and his experience starting at a school for disabled children. It is a heart warming and truthful story."
This will be the second time Elba has directed a film for SKY "Playhouse." You might recall that, in 2013, he made his TV directorial debut with a SKY "Playhouse" film titled "The Pavement Psychologist," which Mr Elba also wrote the screenplay for! Chronicling the intriguing relationship between an affable businesswoman and a charismatic homeless man, Nonso Anozie starred in the film, which would eventually be broadcast in the UK, but, as far as my research tells me, it's never been made available in the USA (if someone has a link, please share).
As for "King for a Term," I don't have any casting information, nor an ETA. Playhouse Presents is a series of self-contained TV dramas, made by British broadcaster Sky Arts. The series started airing in 2012, on SKY Arts 1.
Idris Elba has long expressed his desire to direct. We first learned about this in mid-2010, when he mentioned he was working with the BBC, on a feature film project that was already being developed for him to helm, some time in following year (2011), which would've been his directorial debut. He didn't share much at the time, other than to say that the BBC-commission film centered on a young girl – nothing more. And nothing more on that project since then. Although he's directed others, including a pair of music videos.
Bloomberg.com — Actor Idris Elba, focusing on life as a DJ, brushes off 007 rumors
Idris Elba drives fast, loves British cars, and rocks a well-cut suit. That doesn't mean he will play James Bond any time soon. "It's really just a rumor—and it's not even my rumor!" he says via phone from Germany. He has called me, an auto journalist, because the luxury brand Jaguar recently hired him to drive from London to Berlin in its new XE diesel sedan, the one that gets 75 miles per gallon. He drove it to DJ a Jaguar-sponsored party the night of his arrival in Berlin.
It was a well-timed publicity stunt. While it is true that Elba has long followed car culture—his father worked for years at Ford, and Land Rovers and a Jaguar XJR are his current cars of choice—the drive comes right after revelations from the Sony hack revealed that Elba was being considered for the title role in the next 007 flick.
For the moment, Elba says he is focusing on his life as a DJ. "I appreciate you saying that I'd be a good James Bond, but Daniel Craig is doing a great job with it right now," he says. "I love working with music, making people dance." In fact, Elba has worked in music for years, playing under the name Driis. He co-produced and performed on the intro to Jay-Z's 2007 album American Gangster, and he earned a Billboard Music Awards nomination for his own EP, High Class Problems Vol. 1. "I mostly taught myself to DJ, but I did used to lift the speaker boxes for my uncle when he would do weddings," Elba says. "He was the first to really turn me on to it."
These days, he plays chill and deep-house tracks mixed with pop and what he calls "party classics." (Imagine Chromeo, Second City, and Chocolate Puma mixed with James Brown and Aluna George.) He also plays new work from such little-known (outside the U.K.) artists as Gorgon City and My Nu Leng. Elba is enthusiastic. Last night, as part of a stunt, he drove the new XE right onto the dance floor. If you ask him, it was practically a normal day on the road.
"I'm a bit of a speed demon," he admits, laughing. "But I am a safe driver! I haven't been in any accidents."

Content Marketing, Part 2: How To Make It Happen
By Maggie Schneider Huston-Oracle on Dec 01, 2015
"Content marketing" was the hot word during OpenWorld in October. We wanted to dive into this topic, so we reached out to our own content marketing expert in the Oracle family: Steve Olenski, Senior Content Strategist with Oracle Marketing Cloud, Forbes contributor and well-respected industry influencer. In the first part of this series, Steve explained the essence of content marketing. Today, he's telling Maggie Schneider Huston, Senior Content Manager with Oracle Social Cloud, how to implement your content marketing strategy.
Maggie Schneider Huston: How do you create a content marketing strategy? What are the most important KPIs that a B2B company should use?
Steve Olenski: Before you do anything, you need to answer some questions:
Why are you doing content marketing? To engage your customers and prospects? To sell widgets? Maybe.
What is your business plan and how will you measure it? This ties directly into the KPI question. The key KPIs will absolutely vary by company. There is a fantastic infographic here which lays out the key KPIs content marketers need to be aware of: visits, unique visits, social shares, comments, conversion rate and MQLs (Marketing Qualified Leads.) But, as I said, KPIs will vary based on your individual goals so it's very important to establish the plan and goals first.
MSH: As a content creator, sometimes I feel like I'm juggling 10 things at once. How do you organize all of the moving parts?
SO: Lots of coffee. <laughs> Ok, that's a personal remedy of mine. This is going to sound very cliche-ish but it really comes down to priority. What is the most important thing at that particular moment? You have to make that decision knowing full well that in the next moment it could change. It is a constant vigil, for sure when it comes to content marketing. I've got one eye on the present and one eye on the future. Oh, and a third eye on the past to look at our measurement and analytics. That's why we're fortunate on the Oracle Content Marketing team to have folks like Jeff Cohen and Chris Moody, along with myself to keep that steady vigil and have all those eyes, literally on everything.
MSH: I've got limited resources. I'd love to produce white papers, infographics, blogs, and videos - but I can't. What types of content do you find most effective?
SO: This is perhaps the most-loaded question… ever.
MSH: <laughs> Well, it's one that keeps coming up. People want to know what works!
SO: There is simply no right answer to this and never, ever let anyone tell you otherwise. Think about it. When's the last time you bought a once-size-fits-all piece of clothing and loved and raved about it? Exactly. Just as the key KPIs will vary by company, so too will the types of content that will be effective. It is a matter of, here's that word again - vigil. Keeping a constant eye on what is working and what is not. You may see one month an e-book perform very well then the next e-book bomb. So do e-books work or not? Well, obviously, you would have dig deeper into why one worked and one didn't. You cannot make a blanket assumption or draw a blanket conclusion across any given type of content. You have to find what works, then dig and find out why it worked. Then test it again and again.
MSH: Any tips or tricks to share? Common problems, and how to overcome them?
SO: As far as tips and tricks go… I could write a 5,000 word manifesto when it comes to tips but in the interest of time and for fear of boring everyone to tears, I would add that content marketing is, to me, all about "being there." And what I mean by that is being there where your customers and prospects are, and then in turn delivering them content that is relevant to them - not you. A common problem I see is brands producing content that, while it may look cool and trendy, has zero relevance to their audience. In other words, they're doing it for themselves. Another problem is one I touched on the last time I spoke with you, Maggie, which I refer to as the Not Always Selling (N.A.S.) Doctrine. Do not try and sell something via every piece of content you produce - please. I beg of you. Tell stories. Tug on heartstrings. But be genuine at all turns.

Re-Examining Psychology: Critical Perspectives and African Insights
Re-Examining Psychology: Critical Perspectives and African Insights
Despite psychology's high profile, various aspects of the discipline and the profession are in urgent need of attention. Re-examining Psychology takes a critical look at some of the principles underlying the discipline and offers an insight into alternative psychological perspectives deriving from sub-Saharan Africa. The text is intended to facilitate a greater awareness in psychology of its own identity, and prevent the unqualified adoption of mainstream principles and methodologies by psychologists from sub-Saharan Africa and other majority cultures.
One of psychology's greatest limitations relates to its ethnocentrism and inherent racism, attitudes, which are conceivably responsible for the neglect or unawareness of the psychological dimensions operative in sub-Saharan Africa. In order to facilitate the development of psychology internationally as well as laying the basis upon which a formal African psychology can be developed, the text concludes by highlighting the psychological wisdom emanating from the ways of being in sub-Saharan Africa.

When we deny kids nutrition, we deny them a future
OPINION My young friend ate school meals in San Francisco for 12 years. With food in short supply at home, he had little choice but to eat cafeteria offerings, but he was disheartened by the rubbery meat patties and limp vegetables that characterize frozen reheated school lunches. That's why he was thrilled to hear that SFUSD wants to replace frozen meals with freshly prepared entrees. Although his school lunch days are over, his younger siblings still rely on the cafeterias.

Back to class, back to the unfair struggle to educate our kids
EDITORIAL The first day of public school in San Francisco is also the opening of fund-raising season for thousands of parents, who spend a tremendous amount of time every year trying to come up with the money to keep desperately underfunded schools operating with reasonable facilities and staff. Much of the enrichment available at public schools, and some of the basics — whether it's second-language teachers, libraries, supplies, or class-size reduction — is supported by the money parents bring in from car washes, direct appeals, special events, and yes, bake sales.Read more »

Contributed by Anne Braun, Sep 18, 2008, last edited Oct 03, 2008 [email@example.com]. Total records = 9.
From Welcome, go .5 miles east on Route 625 until you see a dirt and gravel road on the north side. Turn there and go .7 miles northeast until you come up to the house. The cemetery is in a field about 200 feet from the house.
A small family cemetery that I found in fair condition. Some of the headstones were faded and hard to read. The burials contains the Lee and Frank families.
This includes only headstone readings from when I visited this cemetery on Sep 26, 2008.

Glad to know that they still hate ISU...Little buzz? To me that just says he hasn't been paying attention.
NCAA Football - CBS SportsLine.com
that is a little bit of a low-blow.
yet another prediction of finishing last in the big 12 north god i can't wait till we prove them wrong.
What - prove Dodd wrong? A no-talent journalism hack who doesn't do his research, and instead is just homer to the "popular" teams... I'm surprised he doesn't have Iowa winning the Big 10. Actually, he could for all I care - I didn't look at it. If I knew it was Dodd doing this preview I wouldn't have even looked because I could have told you what he was going to say. See, not only is he talentless, he's also predictable.

Blue Roots Bluegrass Band lived up to every expectation and then even more. Their work was extremely tight with vocals rich and beautiful. One could tell how much they enjoyed what they were doing, as it manifested in their music. Blue Roots had an extra hurdle that day, for we were staring down the arrival of Hurricane Irene. These wonderful men still honored their commitment by arriving early, then doing a terrific job with a complete outdoor show - knowing all the while they still had the dangerous drive home ahead of them. That speaks volumes to their character, which was only surpassed by their incredible talent. You cannot miss with this band!- Victoria I
