Combination Disciplines are unique vampiric powers that draw on the knowledge and abilities of multiple Disciplines.
Combination Disciplines require a particular level of proficiency for each Discipline used, and the resulting effect often resembles a combination of the powers required. Some, however, are entirely distinct effects which draw on the themes of the Disciplines used, though these are often quite specific in their application.
Combination Disciplines are popular because they can add versatility to the Disciplines a character possesses or address unique situations. They are also one of the few ways cainites of higher generations and younger Kuei-Jin can learn non-standard Discipline powers, as it is possible to create or learn Combination Disciplines that only require mid-level powers.
That being said, Combination Disciplines are rare; they can usually only be learned from a vampire who already knows the desired power, and are often jealously guarded secrets. Most are known to specific clans or bloodlines, and combine the in-clan Disciplines known to those groups, though there are powers shared by each sect as well. The Anarchs in particular have few qualms about sharing such disciplines amongst themselves, as it offers them an edge against the elders of the Camarilla and Sabbat.
List of Combination DisciplinesEdit
- Main article: List of Combination Disciplines
As it was previously stated, these are rare powers not generally known to the vampiric population. Vampires who develop such abilities are extremely jealous of them, not prone to discuss them openly. In the main article presented above, however, we merely offer a database for players and storytellers to draw upon since the Combination Disciplines are spread throughout a great variety of sourcebooks.
Version DifferencesEdit
Combination Disciplines were introduced in the Revised Edition of Vampire: The Masquerade and are mainly presented in the various Revised clanbooks and in the Advanced Disciplines sections of the sect books. Many were consolidated and reprinted for the Dark Ages: Vampire books Players Guide to High Clans and Players Guide to Low Clans in addition to a few new powers. The only overall difference between Combination Powers in the two lines is that Dark Ages: Vampire established a standard experience cost of 7 * highest Discipline level.
- The concept of Devotions in Vampire: The Requiem is essentially the same as Combined Disciplines.

Velvet Assassin Xbox 360
- Publisher: SouthPeak Games
- Release Date: Apr 30, 2009
- Also On: PC
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
A realistic war-zone atmosphere and rewarding stealth action make this an intense look at World War II, despite some problems.
A straightforward stealth game that's capable of scratching a particular type of sneaky itch for many players, but also feels slightly dated and accomplishes little that hasn't been done before and done better.
When it comes to presentation and overall atmosphere Velvet Assassin does a great job of conveying the sense of being alone behind dark and threatening enemy lines. Unfortunately the gameplay is bogged down by repetitive executions, predictable events and a far too slow pacing. Looking beyond these issues you'll find a qualitative action title well suited for those keen on stealth based gameplay.
Critical flaws in every major respect, then, and yet it just about hangs together. There's an affecting moodiness to it, a real satisfaction when you do chain together several silent kills, and the low-tech 1940s setting lends a refreshing purity to the sneak 'em up genre. With a little more polish, further adventures for Violette could well be to die for.
A World War II-themed Splinter Cell, but with too many technical and design flaws to satisfy.
Despite its solid foundations, Velvet Assassin doesn't have the brute strength to be anything more than a brief distraction for extremely patient, hardcore fans of the traditional stealth genre.
Velvet Assassin is in one word: weak. The story never reaches its full potential and furthermore the technical side is flooded with flaws. And even though the game has its moments of tension, the game fails horribly in being worth your money. Try to sneak past this one if you can.
Velvet Assassin's strengths are in its quiet, richly framed version of a World War II inside the head. The stealth mechanic is very specific and rigidly pattern based, but it presents its scenarios incredibly well.
VA is a great story idea, the narrative of which really succeeds, but the actual gameplay itself is a letdown.
The strength of this game is the visceral experience. It all feels very real and can be very tense, much like the enjoyable tension you feel in a good scary movie. This is all very good, but some poor choices in game design sometimes pull you out of the experience which is not so good.
Velvet Assassin is very much an enjoyable game, it might not have the high production values of some of its peers, but in general offers a tense, thrilling, and engaging gameplay experience throughout.
The lack of reason to return to the campaign will no doubt hurt the experience, but what is here is worth venturing through. If you are a fan of the stealth genre then I highly recommend checking out SouthPeak's latest title.
You'll either love it or hate it. I don't see a lot of people falling somewhere in the middle. The lack of competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes, while not needed, doesn't help the game's replay value.
It's not that Violette's adventures in Nazi-occupied territory are particularly bad, but any stealth game comes with an assumption of frustration in figuring out patrol routes, minimizing the amount of time you're exposed, and dealing with whatever systems are built into the game to detect you.
Velvet Assassin shows gamers the horrors of war as few other games have, with stealth action that captures the feeling of a predator stalking human prey. Unfortunately, clunky shooting controls and dumb AI break the immersion.
Despite our reservations about the plot, we had an entertaining time with Velvet Assassin. It never hits the highs of the average Hitman mission, but the game's palpable atmosphere, and solid sneaking mechanics, should satisfy anyone suffering from stealth-deprivation - and help keep your mind off the agonising wait until Agent 47, Sam Fisher and Garrett finally emerge from the gloom.
Ultimately, Velvet Assassin is an interesting effort in bringing something different to the WWII setting.
While no technical marvel or innovation has been accomplished here, I enjoyed my play through of Velvet Assassin. It's not trying to be anything other than a stealth game and I found that charming with today's titles attempting to do so much more than needed.
Velvet Assassin is not a bad game, but what it is not for sure a great one. There were some good ideas in its concept, especially in its general atmosphere and charismatic heroine, but all of them fail because of many wrong features and decisions.
You can't call Velvet Assassin a complete disappointment. The cautious move here is to rent the title, and decide for yourself if the title is worth a buy, something not ridiculous considering the attractive price point.
There are plenty of good ideas in Velvet Assassin. Sadly, they've all been done before. The issues in the game are simply too great for more people to give it any thought, and everything besides the basic stealth mechanics aren't fleshed out enough.
Violette Summer is an interesting character, no doubt about that. But it's not that interesting the way in which Replay Games has decided to offer an strange gameplay system. There's also a lack of an interesting story, but basically it's a cheap game with nothing special to consider besides the main character and nothing more than that.
As Velvet Assassin's story unfolds, a realization begins to dawn. Events have nothing to tie them together. No overarching plot shapes your gameplay experience. Instead, these are vignettes devoid of character or emotional resonance.
The simple truth is that Velvet Assassin is a mediocre game that made its way onto the market earlier than it should have.
Assassin features flawed stealth action elements that can ruin the gameplay when they go awry, and only point out the hit-or-miss nature of the mechanics when they work well.
Velvet Assassin is a decent stealth game, until you're replaying the same sequence for the umpteenth time.
A good level design and some good ideas loaned from more successful titles aren't enough to make a good game of Velvet Assassin. Frustration always around the corner and a rough gameplay unavoidably worsen the game experience.
Velvet Assassin is an excruciatingly painful, unappealing mess of a game, and its number of redeeming qualities can be counted on the stump of a leper's former arm: it ends.
Velvet Assassin has a neat premise, but I knew before the second mission was over that I never wanted to play it again. It's just too repetitive, frustrating, and archaically designed to make it recommendable even to diehard stealth fans. The genre has evolved, and Velvet Assassin didn't keep up.
Bugs, shortcuts, and the game's habit of repeating the same clever trick too many times hold back an otherwise solid stealther.
This is a World War II story that's thankfully less of a bunker blockbuster and more of an ethically exploratory ride through a side of war rarely explored in videogames. Now if only they could've gotten the videogame parts right…
An ambitious experiment from beginning to end, this innovative wartime stealth effort just can't seem to rise above the commonplace level of mediocrity found in a sea of cookie-cutter World War II titles.

Games Master UKMassive missions with too few checkpoints make it difficult to love. For stealth nuts only. [July 2009, p.81]
Velvet Assassin delivers a fresh point of view on the Second World War scenario, providing the player with more intense and human aspects than the average shooter. Sadly, the stealth gameplay is split between great level design and lousy A.I, while the overall experience feels a little bit too linear. Disappointing, since a deeper testing could've made a great game of this interesting concept.
Official Xbox MagazineIt could've been soon much more. [Aug 2009, p.70]
Velvet Assassin is a solid stealth game but only if you can live with a rather dull story and even more dull environment.
Velvet Assassin could have been a better game. It has a solid approach to the genre, but a limping AI and frustrating shooter sessions reveal the limited experience of the developer team. You can try it if you're a great stealth fan.
When Velvet Assassin gives up on stealth at the end of the game and decides to spawn waves and waves of soldiers, I regrettably also gave up trying to enjoy the gameplay.
If you are looking for an entertaining stealth game, you should probably look elsewhere.
In the end this is a game that most likely needed a bit more development time in which to iron out the kinks. There's a good game in here, but its buried underneath psychic AI and strange game mechanics.

Hélas, il s'agit de l'un des pires jeux d'infiltration depuis quelques décennies : frustrant, répétitif, sclérosé par les scripts et les sauvegardes automatiques trop espacées qui obligent à recommencer plus que de raison, maniabilité à revoir et interface mal foutue. La construction des niveaux est en outre des plus archaïques et son IA du type "tout ou rien" est des plus limitées, sans mentionner une tripotée de bugs non négligeable.

The missions areIn this game you play the role of British WW2 spy Violette Summer, a protagonist who really does put the 'ass' in 'assassin'. The missions are presented as flashbacks as Violette lies ill in a hospital bed. Whilst not a masterpiece, this is an incredibly underrated game. The stealth mechanics and actual gameplay is pretty simple; but it is the atmosphere, claustrophobic and haunting, that will stay with you the most. The graphics aren't great but neither are they terrible. The voice work for Violette is quite good.
My main complaint with this game is the absolutely terrible shooting mechanics. While this isn't really as issue for most of the game, it becomes a major gripe for the last two missions :/
All in all, I enjoyed Velvet Assassin much more than I thought I would. There was potential for a sequel too, but I doubt we'll ever see one.… Full Review »

Lawsuit seeks to overturn Pa.'s ban on same-sex marriage
HARRISBURG — On the heels of two U.S. Supreme Court decisions supportive of gay rights, the American Civil Liberties Union and a Philadelphia law firm on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against the state of Pennsylvania with the intent to overturn its ban on same-sex marriages.
The ACLU said it filed the first-known legal challenge seeking to overturn a state law effectively banning same-sex marriages. The 1996 law signed by former Republican Gov. Tom Ridge defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman. It says same-sex marriages from other states will be "void in this Commonwealth."
The lawsuit asks a federal judge to prevent state officials from stopping gays and lesbians from marrying. It names Gov. Tom Corbett, Attorney General Kathleen Kane and three other officials. Spokesmen for Corbett and Kane said it's under review.
Pennsylvania is one of 35 states that prohibits same-sex marriages, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures in Denver. Thirteen states, including all in the Northeast except Pennsylvania, allow same-sex marriages. Four states allow same-sex civil unions.
"As the cradle of liberty, it is shameful that Pennsylvania denies some families the dignity and respect that can only come with marriage," said Reggie Shuford, executive director of the ACLU of Pennsylvania, which filed the suit with the national ACLU and Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin & Schiller, a Philadelphia law firm working on pro bono basis.
Rep. Matthew Baker, R-Tioga County, who voted for the bill 17 years ago, views it as an attempt to have the courts set state policy.
"The sanctity of marriage should be preserved, and my constituents strongly support my position in upholding this ideal because children benefit from having both mother and dad," Baker said. "I would even support a constitutional amendment to enshrine this basic and fundamental principle that has strong faith-based, moral and ethical implications."
Last month, the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriages could not be a reason to deny federal benefits. The court held that a section of the Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional under the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment. Another ruling let stand a lower court decision allowing same-sex marriages in California to proceed.
"The Supreme Court's decision dealt only with the federal government's recognition of gay marriage," said Wes Oliver, a Duquesne University law school professor. The lawsuit in Pennsylvania is the "next step in the battle," Oliver said.
Michael Geer, president of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, said the court determined "it's up to states to determine the definition of marriage."
ACLU lawyers cited the victory on federal recognition during a Capitol news conference with gay and lesbian plaintiffs to announce the lawsuit.
Dawn Plummer and Diana Polson of Point Breeze, together for 13 years, have two children. They made a commitment before family and friends in 2007, but they don't feel it's enough. They want to be legally married in Pennsylvania to gain the respect other couples enjoy.
"Every time we have to check the 'single' box on a form, it feels like a slap in the face," said Dawn, 36.
The suit filed in U.S. Middle District Court in Harrisburg contends Pennsylvania's refusal to marry lesbian and gay couples, or recognize their out-of-state marriages, violates their fundamental right to marry and their rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Former Republican state Rep. Jeffrey Coleman, a political consultant for conservative candidates, said the "ACLU is circumventing the legislative process, saying we should end the debate" and toss the issue to the courts.
"I think it is an overreach, a mistake," said Coleman, who represented portions of Armstrong and Indiana counties in the state House from 2001 to 2004.
The Legislature has "defined marriage in Pennsylvania," said Geer of the Pennsylvania Family Institute. "For the ACLU to ask an unelected judge to redefine marriage for Pennsylvania, we find disappointing and troubling."
Rep. Dan Frankel, D-Squirrel Hill, an advocate for gay and lesbian rights, disagreed that the Legislature is the best body to handle the matter.
"I'd like to believe we could return to session and vote on a bill to protect Pennsylvanians from non-discrimination and a bill promoting marriage equality before the end of the year," Frankel said. "But the Pennsylvania Legislature seems to lag behind the public — not by years, but by decades — so, unfortunately, this court case may be the quickest way to full equality for our (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) residents."

- Hi John,
I did make it to Depoe Bay on Saturday and hung around with Scott M. for a while on his Banks dory. I met a few coots. I saw a lot of hats, but many of them were so deeply involved in conversations I didn't want to butt in. I would have liked to meet you and personally thank you for your links page and the Atkins site, two of the reasons I like the WWWeb.
Sunday afternoon I brought my 91-year-old dad to see some of the boats. Mainly I wanted him to see the Thistle. When I was 13 or 14 we almost bought one just like it, even the same color, but the guy backed out at the last minute. I've wanted one ever since. Unrequited love...
I want to make the Siletz messabout. Sounds like fun and it's close enough to home I don't have to camp out. I gave that up when I sent my youngest son to college.

text: Your Name:Abbie ChristianYour State:NebraskaYour Role:Deputy Compact AdministratorType of Return:Non Voluntary Return - AbsconderRule(s) Applied: Rule 6-102 & 6-103ACircumstances of the return:NE probation absconder picked up in Holding State. The youth was adjudicated of a status offense (Truancy) in NE and had been placed on probation for this offense. As a condition of her probation, she was placed on EM. The youth cut her EM bracelet and absconded from NE. She was entered as a missing person in NCIC and also had an active warrant issued by NE Court. The youth was located by law enforcement in another state and held in order to be returned to NE pursuant to ICJ rules. The Holding State scheduled a Form III hearing. The youth refused to sign the Form III and return to NE voluntarily. NE was notified by the Holding State to start the Requisition process. NE proceeded to prepare the Requisition which was then submitted to the Holding State via JIDS. The Holding State ultimately accepted the Requisition and ordered the youth's return to NE. The youth was safely returned to NE.How the ICJ Rules assisted in the return:ICJ rules address the process of returning a youth who does not agree to return voluntarily. (Rule 6-103 & Rule 6-103A)Issues that occurred in the course of the return:1) Holding State Court allowed youth to be released into the Holding State's community on EM after the Requisition had been submitted by NE. Holding State Court did not believe the youth should be held in the detention center and felt EM could be classified as a form of detention. NE ICJ and Holding State ICJ both agreed that EM is not considered detention under ICJ rules but had difficulty convincing the Court.2) Holding State Court debated which ICJ rule would apply for the non-voluntary return of this youth since the youth was an adjudicated status offender rather that an adjudicated delinquent. NE ICJ believed Rule 6-103A should be applied as the youth was on probation in NE and absconded from probation supervision.3) After the Holding State Court accepted the Requisition, the Court did place the youth in detention pending her return but indicated they would reconsider allowing the youth to be released on EM if NE did not return the youth within 5 days (even though ICJ rules allow 5 business days)What didn't the ICJ Rules address with regard to the return: Adjudicated Status Offenders are not specifically mentioned in the Non-Voluntary Return rule. There was debate around the issue of whether the youth could be considered an absconder since she was not adjudicated of a delinquent offense. NE ICJ believes she should be considered an absconder since she was placed on probation for her adjudicated status offense.Tip(s) Learned:NE ICJ was invited to participate in the Requisition hearing by the Holding State's Court. NE ICJ took advantage of this opportunity and was able to advocate for ICJ rules and the viewpoint of NE. The Holding State Court was very receptive to the information offered by the NE ICJ. Collaboration with the Holding State ICJ office was also key.

I was sort of on a mission.
After all, my claim to their relevance in my life has to do with being a "turtle" in the Mayan calendar. That I learned ages ago on my very first trip to the lovely country called, Guatemala. This is a secret obsession that erupts to the surface whenever I'm near beaches claimed to have the sweet and gentle creatures.
Anyway, on a practical level, this trip was to avoid the evil cold winter time in DC. Two of my friends and I ventured out and indulged in some "glamping." I did not come up with that idea. I was all for the mosquito bites and deet perfume 24/7. In the end, it was a good decision due to the fact that the campground, Cinnamon Bay, was buggy indeed. Lovely location – Cinnamon Bay beach. We certainly felt special enough that we had some Bollywood shots taken in and out of the water. That's what happens when one of the people you travel with has a …paparazzi tendency 🙂
So what did we humans accomplish on this trip? Nothing. Just lazed around but I'm proud to say I ran at least once. That included running up steep trails and checking out a bit of the ruins left in the island. A lot of our time was also spent snorkeling. Well, we did that each day actually. You can't blame us. Didn't I say there were turtles? Yes, and I luckily got to swim with them, stalk them, almost petted them but surely caught them on my waterproof Fujifilm XP camera. The place to do all these is in Maho Bay. Besides snorkeling, we did kayak to a nearby island. We were the only ones there so we managed to feel like stranded tourists, albeit not starving, as we had some tuna, nuts and crackers to eat.
All in all, Cinnamon Bay campground is a decent base for wandering in the northern part of the island. To get around would require having your own car. We didn't rent one. Public taxis came around but depending on the time, they can be scarce and hard to catch. So, car rental is a must if you wish to roam around the island. But for the popular areas like Trunk Bay, Cinammon Bay and Maho Bay, one can manage without.
I do want to air out one thing about St. John. I am a bit saddened by the fact that people in the island are being outnumbered by tourists. Many Americans are moving there with the intent to retire. When we went to the city center, there was a lack of local restaurants. We ate at one that appears to be the only one left as most of the local joints were being pushed out by American -owned establishments. Wait, that just sounded like my NE neighborhood in DC… hmm… See, not only is the island being overtaken by foreign retirees, but also by the good old cruise ship people. They were everywhere, left and right. But I must say the locals remain friendly despite the tourist take over although they have openly aired out their concern for the future generations of the island locals. The unfortunate side effect of the commercialism is the tendency of most locals to leave the island and move to the bigger island of St. Thomas. St. John is a beautiful island, no doubt but it has become too commercialized. With commercialism, comes higher costs. Indeed, it wasn't a cheap place to visit. Meals at restaurants average $20 a pop.
Ah, St. John! I was in love with it once but never again. The first time I went there years ago I only had a day to visit but the place left a good impression in my backpacker mind- that I wanted to go back there and…(surprise, surprise) retire. Well, that's all changed as the future appears to paint an uber commercialized St. John. That leaves backpackers like me with having to look for another low key island to consider as future home. Oh, well, and so it goes. Nonetheless, thank you, St. John, for the turtles. It reconnected me back to the importance of patiently enjoying the moment and taking things slow, just like my turtle spirit.
Some practical tips:
- If you visit St. John around winter time (Dec-Feb), chances are you may score a great deal on flights. coming from U.S.
- There is a public transport on the island but at times you'll have to wait a while. If you can afford the extra expense, opt for a car rental especially if you're staying for only a few days.
- St. John is hilly so keep that in mind if you decide to do more walking like we did. You may try to do some hitchhiking as it's safe enough since most people are tourists.
- Where we stayed at, Cinnamon Bay, is the cheapest place available on the island. We originally intended to stay in the tents but as it turns out mosquitoes are common. So, we were glad to have opted for the more luxurious rustic cabins. You can't beat the location with a view of the water.
- There are grocery stores in the island but you'll need to pay tons. I suggest you bring with you in your check in luggage some provisions as the cabin has what you need to cook your own meals.

In an amusing talk Claire introduced herself to the group as a "Mumpreneur" – a reference to having a young child whilst developing new products. She has had several careers, which have included engineering and care home management.
Her invention is still at the prototype stage and she's looking for funding. Baby formula milk now comes is cartons but she wanted a way to use it more conveniently particularly when out and about. She came up with the idea while on her way to a party, panicking about whether there was a sterilised baby bottle in the car. The idea was for a pre-sterilised teat which could be affixed to the cartons and immediately ready for first use. It can then be easily cleaned and re-sterilised for future use.
Having come up with the idea she emailed Peter Jones of "Dragons Den" TV fame. In reply she received an automated email asking if she'd patented it. She immediately arranged an appointment with a patent attorney who turned out to be very enthusiastic. As a result she made a PCT (international) patent application, being careful not to limit the use of the product to baby products.
This was just the first of a number of ideas and it had been Claire's intention all along to make a business out of the products. She commented that having a limited company gives a much more professional look to the business, which is important particularly where inventions are concerned. She came up with the name Chillipeeps and registered this as a trade mark.
Claire tried out a number of marketing companies without success. Then with the help of Rowena Mead, who is also developing child-oriented products, she made contact with Richard Hall of Pd-M and using a confidentiality agreement told him about her ideas.
It was the start of a strong working partnership. Richard created a plan and costings and together they devised a vision for the business. Prototypes were tested and re-tested and by the 5th prototype the various problems had been overcome.
The next step was to find a company to manufacture. Claire was delighted that they were able to find a Yorkshire company who would be able to produce it for the RRP they wanted. The only problem was that tooling could cost up to £180,000. They needed funding. One of the difficulties was that often potential investors want a proven product rather than an idea.
She entered the Baby Products Association Concept & Innovation competition, and after convincing herself that her pitch had been a disaster, she was shocked to find that she'd won! Crucial to the judges' decision was the fact that she had a plan to get the product to market. She was then able to exhibit at the Baby & Child Fair in London where she made a lot of useful contacts, including distributors from around the world. She followed this up by finishing runner-up at Venturefest's Technology Competition. She was particularly impressed as she doesn't really regard her product as technical. Once again, this opened more doors to her. She has followed this up by winning the "Women on their Way" competition 2010 for an Outstanding New Product – in spite of the fact that she was the only entrant not trading.
Further competition wins have followed and throughout Claire has gained more advice, mentoring and contacts, including Mandy Haberman, inventor of the "Anyway Up" cup, and Laura Tennison of Jojo Maman Bebe.
Claire is planning to launch a product range next March at the Harrogate Baby Fair. She is in talks with various large companies but believes that it will be much quicker and easier to launch as Chillipeeps. Once the products have been proved to work and have a market the bigger players are more likely to show a definite interest.
Claire finished her entertaining talk with a few tips for budding inventors. She pointed out that it is important to do as much networking as possible and to sell both yourself and your product (once you have filed a patent). It's vital to be business-like and suggested that at the very least you need a business card – otherwise, as she put it, "you look like a nobody". She followed this comment up by saying that you should check and double-check everything – she handed out a lot of business cards and then 18 months later realised that the phone number on them was wrong!
Like many inventors, Claire is keen to pass on the knowledge she has gained and is informally mentoring a small number of inventors herself.

SUMMERSIDE – With $400,000 in prize money on the line for the Players' Championship of the Grand Slam of Curling, teams expect the best ice possible, and Mark Shurek is in the city to make certain it happens.
Shurek, head ice technician for the event, is based just outside of Winnipeg Manitoba but has made his career on ice, being involved with the Grand Slam of Curling since its inception in 2001.
He has also been icemaker at the European championship, the Canadian Curling Association Scotties and Brier, and the World championship. He has built on the experience and traditions inspired by a mentor, award winning icemaker Hans Wuthrich, who is from Gimli, Manitoba, where Shurek grew up.
Typically, Shurek arrives at a Grand Slam venue with one assistant, because he likes to have at least one familiar person to work with, but he needs a crew of at least eight to create the ice, and six to maintain it during the event.
The total preparation team of about 20 involves mostly local volunteers, but is sometimes augmented by visitors to the event such as Eldie Benson who came to Summerside from Collingwood, Ontario.
The advantage of that system is that Shurek gets to meet new people at each venue he works, offering an occasion to expand his knowledge as well as share his expertise.
"(Sharing is) always a goal. When I first started, that's how I learned, by going to an event where ice makers shared (information)," Shurek admits.
The philosophy seems to overcome any concern over quality control.
"We have some time to work with people prior to the games, so we get to know everyone and find a place for everyone. It's a team, really: we all work together and make it happen," Shurek praised.
Typically, they start with hockey ice, painting over the markings with white paint to create a clean canvas. Then they use a metal rig to paint the house rings – red, white and blue – so that each presents to within one-sixteenth of an inch in diameters to the others. Then the logos are lined up and secured, before general ice flooding is completed.
The flooding takes about 36-40 hours, set in five or six stages to build from one-half to three-quarters of an inch of surface, aiming for level ice. The event uses its own water treatment equipment to ensure water quality, de-ionizing the water to remove minerals and changing its pH to produce the ice quality demanded.
Then it is scraped and shaped to ensure that curlers can make the shots they need.
"Put a shape to the ice so that the rocks will curl the same inside out, outside in," Shurek explained.
Once play begins the ice is simply maintained unless something drastic happens, otherwise it would change the conditions for curlers.
Shurek doesn't foresee any problems with the five sheets in the modern, Eastlink Arena facility at Credit Union Place, even with changing temperatures expected during the week of play.
"Heat's your friend; we can make ice cold. I'd rather it warm than cold. Unless it's 90º (Farenheit) in here, it's not going to affect us," Shurek assured, praising also the cooperation of the Credit Union Place staff in the process.
Kristi Petrushchak, managing the event for Sportsnet, is proud to bring the event back to Summerside, citing the success of the previous edition of the Grand Slam of Curling held in the city.
It is an opportunity to showcase the sport, this year featuring 12 teams each of men and women, and provide opportunity for young players to watch the best in action.
The event will also include a Junior Grand Slam of Curling session on Sunday, in which two boys and two girls teams compete on the world-class ice.
"There is such a science in (ice making), it's amazing," Petrushchak marveled.
The Junior Grand Slam participants will also have professional curlers as mentor-coaches during their games, and future "Rock Star" youngsters will get a chance to throw some rocks, as will Special Olympians.
Petrushchak sees it as building the curling franchise.
"One of the things near and dear to us is to build that grassroots program. Without these guys wanting to get better and better, we don't have an event," she assessed the process of developing elite players.
Having the best ice in the world is as encouraging for that process as it is for the players in this final Grand Slam event of the year.
"We've got $400,000 on the line. They want good ice because they want to go home with a lot of cash in their pockets," Petrushchak acknowledged.

Duluth, Georgia, USA: Phil Mickelson had five straight birdies on the front nine on Saturday en route to a 5-under 67 after three rounds of the BellSouth Classic in Duluth. It could have been even better for Mickelson, but he closed with a double bogey to be 21-under for the tournament. Jonathan Byrd and 2004 winner Zach Johnson are tied for second, while Spain's Jose Maria Olazabal is fourth at 12 under. With Mickelson so far ahead at the TPC at Sugarloaf course, the competition of note is for second place. David Howell shot a 2-under-par 70 on Saturday to be among seven players tied at 7-under par, 14 shots off the pace. One of those players is Rich Beem, who eagled the 18th hole from a greenside bunker to card a third round 68. Jose Maria Olazabal is 12-under for the tournament after a round of 69. The Spaniard is a stroke behind Jonathan Byrd and Zach Johnson, and nine shots behind Mickelson. Solid round Luke Donald had a solid round of 2-under par until a quadruple-bogey on 18 left him at 74 for the round and 4-under for the tournament. Johnson shot an 8-under-par 64 on Saturday to be 13 under for the tournament. He had the same score after three rounds in 2004. But that year the total was good for a three-shot lead. Byrd shot a 66 - his third straight round under 70. He had an amazing stretch of six straight birdies capped by holing a pitch shot at the 17th. Mickelson was 24 under and up by 12 before a bogey on 15. He also slipped up at the 18th with a double bogey. The late problems kept Mickelson from becoming the first player in six years to lead by at least 10 strokes entering the final round of a PGA tournament. Tiger Woods led by 10 entering the final round of the 2000 US Open. Mickelson has been attacking tournament records all week. He matched the course record with a first-round 63, and then set a tournament record with his 16-under total through 36 holes. On Saturday, he matched the tournament's lowest 54-hole total. Larry Nelson was 21 under through three rounds of the 1998 BellSouth. Barring a collapse on Sunday, Mickelson will become the first three-time winner of the BellSouth Classic. (AP)

In "Lighthouse", Jack tells David that he connected the cable in his room so he could watch the Red Sox, making it seem that David is, like Jack, a Red Sox fan. However, the photo booth pictures of the two of them had David wearing, very prominently, an LA Dodgers hat. Was this meant to show the disconnect between Jack and David, or is it another of the little inconsistencies in the new timeline?
Or, could it be I'm just looking way too hard into a baseball connection?

I have publication incalculable books and accompanied seminars on the subject of online and offline business organization. The truth reality is that you will insight many a of these factors enclose the proof for both online and offline businesses. So what makes an cyberspace business well-paid with large indefinite amount of website around? They are incredibly markedly undivided knowingness reasons but necessary factors that several net marketers messed up to trail. So here goes...
1. Strong Demand for the Product or Service.
There is zilch worse than creating a resource or merchandise and find out that pocket-sized or no one is fascinated in purchase. Another booby trap in "Internet Selling" is that several enterprise owners go shove online so that those can easy find in purchasing malls or on the streets. Instead, you essential brainwave an territory wherever at hand is just a postgraduate constraint for a picky goods or service, and afterwards you get rid of the solutions to worries where trillions of those are willing to pay for it. A great factor to beginning intelligent is to ask yourself what is your vehemence. This is deeply eminent as you will condition extra energy to get you through with the bad-tempered nowadays.Post ads:

2. Passive Income.
Just look-alike any communicator of a book, he gets square both circumstance causal agency bought a set book from the bookstore. By doing this, this essayist is creating a water of turnover that will hand over him circumstance and state to do else belongings suchlike expenses more circumstance next to our ethnic group.
Of curriculum resistless revenue doesn't move reflexively. Online concern is about the same as convention brick and high-angle gun business concern. We have to donkey work on it. But the unsurpassable cut for online business, once the entity kicks off, the others are machine-controlled.
3. Low commencement and Running Cost.Post ads:

Comparing to online business, a building material and howitzer firm cost a lot much to set up and run. There are abundant prosperous computer network giants that oblige jillions of dollars to set up and assert. E.g. Yahoo! Google, Amazon. There are even so a-one overflowing surrender business organisation that anyone can set up and direct for less than $500 if you know how. The fact fact in my mild beginning, I do not have a lot to establishment near. Thus, it pushes me to be more scant and resourceful and use both dim to the max.
4. Ideally No Inventory.
An ideal internet company belike has shrimpy or no listing. The reasons are markedly unadorned. Inventory expenditure a lot of finances. No.1 - to purchase or making stock; No.2 - to warehouse inventory; and No.3 - Shipment. While you can so bring in a lot of funding from list side by side business, it is a lot of tough grind at the same time, very if one is retaining a chock-full case job. You may impoverishment to reflect to go for company wherever the goods or pay is digital (immediate transportation completed the cyberspace). So if you arranged to supply somatogenetic artefact complete the internet, you power impoverishment to regard a business organization and distributor to nick keeping of the keeping and transportation for you.
5. Global Reach.
One of the furthermost surprising aspects of the net is that your audience is "The World". Instead of newly marketing to your countrymen where on earth the open market may be too minor to make your project a saleable one, your niche markets will be merchandising to the global which will have large upcoming. The righteous thing something like selling to the niche markets is that it is a lot easier to announce and reign the markets once within are more or less 935 jillions internet surfers online daily. A immensely favorable section will be edification your impressionist to intercommunicate Chinese once this can convey in hundreds of dollars in profits!
6. Products that have High Profit Margins.
Whether in an online or offline business, you essential go a article of trade wherever you can make illustrious income margins. In this bag you will be able to put into more in your mercantilism war. In fact, marketing of facts products or one of the intelligentsia properties online such as as e-book, software, DVDs, MP3s will be supreme just right. Though they may outlay a lot of capital to send out in the early place, they can be downloaded for oceanic contemporary world on the internet!
And yes it may be tricky career on a period of time font if you poverty to take the place of. But in a few weeks you will see your company growing if you are on the suitable line and you will breakthrough the success that other than folks with the sole purpose sit and image more or less in event to locomote.

A major expansion for the network of top-class university technical colleges for 14 to 18-year-olds has been given the go-ahead by ministers.
Seven new colleges, which will offer vocational education to teenagers in a bid to meet the demands of modern industry, are to be founded across the country, bringing the total to 57.
A further tranche is expected to be approved early in the New Year, which will bring the total to around 70 either approved or starting by the time of the election campaign.
The go-ahead for the seven is seen as a sign of the renewed commitment of the Coalition government to the project, which is the brainchild of former Conservative Education Secretary Kenneth [now Lord] Baker.
In the past, critics accused former Education Secretary Michael Gove of lacking enthusiasm for vocational education even though projects were approved.
In all, the seven new projects will teach 5,000 pupils when fully operational, bringing the total number in UTCs to 50,000.
Top industries are backing the scheme with Jaguar, Bentley, Unilever and Kodak amongst the business sponsors. All UTCS have one higher education sponsor as well as those from business.
In Jaguar's case. the UTC it is sponsoring in Coventry, following backing for another in the Midlands at Solihull.
"They can't recruit enough engineers of sufficient quality," Lord Baker told The Independent.
The seven approved are: Bromley UTC, Crewe, Leeds, Scarborough, Sheffield Human science and Digital Technologies, South Durham, and WMG Academy for Young Engineers in Solihull.
Announcing the expansion plans, Chancellor George Osborne said: "The new colleges will provide the next generation of British workers with the skills they need to secure the high-tech jobs of the future."Reuse content

Either the guys in gay porn are getting younger, or I'm getting older. The funny thing is that all through my twenties and thirties I was into older men; but now that I'm pushing - well, let's just say "a certain age " - I'm finding my taste is men getting younger. Ryan from Southern Strokes is a prime example of how much taste in men has changed. He's 19 years old and packing a nice, tight and well-defined body. And he's completely smooth except for a hint of a treasure trail crawling toward his navel. And while we're down there: what a beautiful meaty cock! Good lord, I could nurse on that all day; and given the horniness and always-readiness of young guys, that could be a very real possibility. And for a straight guy, Ryan really knows how to get us hot: sliding his finger inside his pink butt hole, Ryan fucked his rosebud and jacked off, spewing a huge load across those six-pack abs!

Swollen red cheek after sculptra
It looks like you may have a granulomatous reaction (low grade shouldering infection) to the sculptra in your right cheek. The implant surgery probably worsened the problem. I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon familiar with sculptra. The treatment consists of a combination of antibiotics.

Injected myself with saline to dissolve Sculptra?
I don't know what your qualifications are, but to inject yourself with saline to dissolve Sculptra is nonsense. Nothing can dissolve Sculptra, not even hyaluronidase. Right now, there might be an infection because of poor sterile technique or from your prior infection still lingering. I think you need to seek someone much more experienced in this area in the next day. I have not heard of a lump persisting over 8 years from Sculptra and therefore not convinced it was Sculptra.

The 55-year-old former Newcastle manager Steve McClaren is trying to come in from the cold again after his disastrous eight months in charge of the Magpies, when basically he was the primary person responsible for our relegation taking only 24 points from 28 games in charge and he was left in the job far too long by Lee Charnley.
By getting Rafa Benitez to commit to Newcastle for the next three years, things are not all gloom and doom on Tyneside and in fact fans are upbeat that Benitez can build a good side, but it all has to start in England' s second division.
That's the way it is.
Even Steve McClaren couldn't watch
We all just have to get on with it and there will be much better times ahead for Newcastle under Rafa.
This is what McClaren told Sky Sports News yesterday:
"Management is tough wherever you are and Newcastle is probably one of the toughest places but Newcastle is a great club and can be great again."
"It's got magnificent facilities, a magnificent stadium, 52,000 great fans."
"And the business side of the club is second to none – what Mike Ashley has done over the last six or seven years, he's really got Newcastle on a firm footing."
"So that financially they're making profit after profit each year."
"I think the side which needs developing, and I think with the announcement of Rafa taking over, the football side needs to be taken care of."
"It needs changing, it needs dictating." "Rafa has gone in there and has got total control – over the media, over the staff and over recruitment."
"Those are the three most important areas that you need in a football club, especially as a manager."
"Newcastle basically have gone down because of what happened on the field." "They have allowed Rafa total control of the football side."
"This club now needs to go forward and get out of the Championship."
It's to Steve McClaren's credit he is not bitter about what happened at Newcastle, but his claims that he should have been given more time will not wash with most Newcastle fans.
Steve was given too much time when the team was always in the bottom four of the Premier League during his short disastrous reign at Newcastle.
And as far as the facilities go, Rafa is not too satisfied with the Benton training grounds and is having changes made this summer to the internal design of the buildings, to give players more opportunity to rest and to talk together to build team spirit.
He has improved the gymnasium with better more modern equipment and has had 4G artificial pitches installed for the first team's indoor facility and at the Youth Academy – upgrades from the older less forgiving 3G pitches that were there when he arrived.
That hopefully will help cut down on all the injuries we get every single year.
It seems a short-term move for next season and will be all ready a week on Tuesday when the players return for preseason.
We're sure Rafa will then push for the world-class facilities at Benton Newcastle talked about in November of 2013 – maybe for next summer – and he has already given his input on the changes he wants to those plans.
If Mike Ashley keeps out of the way and let's Rafa get on with things, we will have a team on the field as good as our financial results – and we can now even expect to win a trophy under Rafa Benitez.
And for some of us older fans – the sooner that happens the better.
Comments welcome.

Dispute grows over proposed development in Brooklyn
By Charisse Jones, USA TODAY
NEW YORK What people see from Daniel Goldstein's roof near downtown Brooklyn depends on their point of view about a huge proposed development.
Some residents see a blighted vista being transformed for the community's good by a sports arena and apartment towers that they say would infuse the neighborhood with affordable housing, jobs and economic activity.
Goldstein, however, sees only loss — of his home and a corner of brownstone Brooklyn.
The development will be "the densest residential community in the country by far," says Goldstein, whose condominium will be claimed by eminent domain if the project is approved. "The different environmental impacts, particularly traffic, are severe. The impact on public transportation is substantial. … You lose what makes Brooklyn special to everyone."
If approved by the state, a nearly $4 billion project called Atlantic Yards would reshape several Brooklyn neighborhoods by bringing an arena and the New Jersey Nets NBA team to New York's most populous borough. But since its announcement in 2003, the project has become one of the city's most disputed, sparking lawsuits and setting neighbor against neighbor.
The local battle provides a window into struggles engulfing cities across the USA as the nation prepares to add an expected 100 million people by 2040, expanding to 400 million.
Communities already are trying to determine how to provide housing and other services without sprawling into forests and farmland or overburdening roads, public transit, and sewage and water treatment systems.
"What is happening in Brooklyn is being reflected really throughout the country," says Bruce Katz, director of the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Particularly in growing cities such as New York, new developments leave residents "worried about the impact on the fabric of neighborhoods. … Will the existing schools and other facilities be able to absorb the new residents?"
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg raised such concerns last week in a speech on the challenges facing the city as it prepares for an expected 1 million additional residents by 2030. Bloomberg said the city must improve roads, build more housing and implement other changes to ensure that its infrastructure does not buckle.
'How big is too big?'
If Brooklyn (population 2.5 million) were a city by itself, it would be the nation's fourth-most populous. It's the kind of long-established urban landscape that many planners such as Katz envision accommodating many more Americans in the next 35 years. But even in densely populated New York City, there may be limits.
The 22-acre Atlantic Yards, to be built by Forest City Ratner Companies — whose president, Bruce Ratner, is the primary owner of the Nets — would be dotted by residential and office towers. One 58-story building, dubbed "Miss Brooklyn," would become the borough's tallest. The project, to be designed by architect Frank Gehry, would include more than 6,400 apartments and condominiums.
Bloomberg and Gov. George Pataki support the development, which would mix businesses and residences in an area where several subway lines and a commuter railroad converge.
Atlantic Yards reflects building trends encouraged by many growth experts.
"There are elements of it that are very consistent with the way in which cities and suburbs really need to grow, given fiscal issues and environmental demands and population demands," Katz says.
But the prospect of high-rises looming over brownstones and storefronts tucked into buildings seldom more than six stories high raises questions for some planners.
"There are a lot of issues still to be debated about how big is too big," says Jeremy Soffin, spokesman for the Regional Plan Association, a non-partisan planning and development think tank for New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
The board of the Empire State Development Corp., the state's economic development agency, unanimously approved the Atlantic Yards project on Dec. 8 and authorized the use of eminent domain to take some properties.
The state's Public Authorities Control Board, which has the final say on the project, is scheduled to meet on Wednesday.
In the meantime, a lawsuit filed in October on behalf of Goldstein and several other property owners is pending in federal court. It contends that the project would benefit a private enterprise rather than the public and so the use of eminent domain is unconstitutional.
"It doesn't mean there's absolutely no arguable public benefit, but whatever benefit there may be is incidental to the real purpose of the project — to benefit Ratner," says Matthew Brinckerhoff, attorney for the plaintiffs.
Struggle over housing
The Atlantic Yards tangle, which pits those who want the project's promised affordable housing and jobs against those concerned about its size, has led to somewhat unlikely alliances.
Some groups that advocate for the poor are siding with Forest City Ratner after the developer agreed to reserve half of the project's 4,500 rental apartments for lower- and middle-income families.
The developer "set a standard in community benefits that's legally binding, historical and unprecedented," says Bertha Lewis, executive director of New York ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), which lobbies for affordable housing. "If, in fact, developers around the country can see that you can do the right thing, create affordable housing … and still make a profit, this can be duplicated."
Lewis says the black population of neighborhoods near the Atlantic Yards site dropped 17% between 1990 and 2000. Yet, she says, critics of the Ratner development have not complained about upscale housing that has displaced poorer residents.
"They have the luxury to demand the impossible, to oppose something because it's not ideal," she says. "We fight like hell every day to get the best deal we can so we can move this ball forward for working families."
Nevertheless, some neighborhood residents and lawmakers say they oppose the bypassing of city laws in favor of what they deem a less transparent state-approval process.
"I would've preferred that they built a hospital there; I would've preferred that they'd built a school," City Councilwoman Letitia James says. "I just put $2 million into a beautiful playground two blocks away. It will be adversely affected by noise and traffic and dust."
Herbert Daughtry, a well-known local minister who supports Atlantic Yards, says the fight largely boils down to one between poorer long-term residents who appreciate the prospect of jobs and affordable units and more affluent newcomers who thought they were escaping the high-rises and crowds the development could bring.
"I don't remember where those protesters were when this area was deteriorating," he says. "I'm 76 years old, so I'm not arguing so much for my years here. But I see the future of what this can be for my grandchildren."
David Goldberg of Smart Growth America, a coalition of groups working on planning issues, says that to avoid strife, communities need to plan now for the future.
"You have to think through a lot of these issues in advance," he says. "Otherwise, every new project is cause for conflict, expense and anxiety."

Chicken or Turkey a La King
Recipe by Axe1678
My mother passed this recipe on to me and I'm passing it on to my daughter. The whole family loves this comfort food and it's a great use for leftover turkey! Depending on the amount of leftover turkey, I sometimes triple the recipe. Serve over a bed of rice or on it's own.

Did y'all know that Delta Airlines has an Honor Guard? Well, they do. The Delta Honor Guard program helps out when the military fallen are finally brought home. They stand strong, firmly gripping our nation's flags, and honoring those who have fallen as they're slowly transferred off the plane in a casket wrapped in an American flag.
If you look up, you can see bystanders in the airport terminal watching solemnly, and we're sure there are several tears up there as well. The fallen soldier is a man that had been missing for over 63 years, who fought during the Korean War. He was finally identified and sent home to his family.
We warn y'all, bring a box of tissues with you because the goosebumps that you experience are just a precursor to the tears. God bless those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this great nation. And God bless those who have served, are serving, and will. These brave men and women are all close to our hearts and in our prayers.
Support our troops!

Bruce snubs former Blue
Birmingham manager Steve Bruce does not believe Matthew Upson will play for England again.
By Peter Fraser
Last Updated: 17/08/07 4:59pm
Birmingham manager Steve Bruce does not believe Matthew Upson will play for England again.
Bruce has dismissed Upson's international chances ahead of the former Birmingham centre-back's return to St Andrews with West Ham on Saturday.
Upson quit Birmingham in favour of Upton Park in January when the Blues were chasing Championship promotion and Bruce now feels that it is unlikely the 28-year-old will again reach the heights of his earlier career.
"When asked the question of whether Upson could get back into the England side my honest answer is 'I don't think so'," said Bruce.
"That is not meant to be disrespectful to the player. I think where we are blessed in this country is that we have fantastic central defenders.
"The most important thing for Matt is to remain fit and get over his serious injury.
Positive start
"I think his reception back at Birmingham will be okay although the fans are a hard lot to call.
"I am pleased he has now got himself fit and I watched him last week. I wish him well and hope he stays injury-free to get on with his career.
"He played well for Birmingham and the peak for him was when he got himself into the England set-up."
Meanwhile, Bruce is hopeful that newly promoted Birmingham will continue their positive start to the new Premier League campaign.
"The pleasing point was how we have equipped ourselves in the Premier League so far," Bruce added.
"After the first two games I've been encouraged. Obviously we now need a win at home in the game against West Ham."

Every Time Matthew McConaughey Has Made Weird Noises In a Movie
Alright, alright, al–what? This supercut takes an in-depth look at some of the lesser heralded things Matthew McConaughey says onscreen.
WHAT: A surprisingly robust collection of Matthew McConaughey expressing himself in films through the magic of weird noises.
WHO: YouTubers Owenergy Studios.
WHY WE CARE: It's now a well established fact that McConaughey improvised the primal humming and chest-beating in the restaurant scene from Wolf of Wall Street. The WTF vocal stylings don't stop there, though–not by a long shot, it turns out. One sharp-eyed YouTuber has noticed that making odd sounds is just something McConaughey brings to the cinematic table. The Owenergy Studios supercut of McConaughey doing myriad variations on the confused grunt from Home Improvement's theme song runs four full minutes in length and is never less than amazing. Try to phonetically spell out your favorite in the comments below.
