Sunderland are out to 3/1 to be relegated from the Premier League after their emphatic 4-0 defeat of doomed Cardiff City yesterday.
As well as Phil Dowd's penalty, and subsequent red card, decision at the Stadium Of Light just before half-time yesterday the Hull equaliser at Craven Cottage 24 hours earlier was equally significant on a weekend that almost everything that could go right for Gus Poyet's men did.
To be relegated from the Premier League; prices from BetVictor: Cardiff 1/16; Norwich 1/12; Fulham 1/5; Sunderland 3/1; Villa 7/1; 40s Bar
Loading article content
Next up for Sunderland is a trip to Old Trafford next weekend and a United side who looked rejuvenated against Norwich on Saturday evening but surely the 10/1 quote for a Black Cats win at BetVictor is too big given the sides' recent results at the Etihad and Stamford Bridge?
United have been backed from 7/1 to 11/4 to win all their games under Ryan Giggs but the 4/11 to beat Sunderland is the wrong price.
If 10/1 looks an insult for the Black Cats to win at Old Trafford, the 11/1 for Newcastle to beat Arsenal this evening still looks a bit mean especially when you think they lost the corresponding fixture 7-3 last term. The Gunners are 3/10 to beat the Magpies for the fifth time in a row tonight with the visitors having scored fewer PL goals than any other (10) in 2014.
We have been betting for some time on the next Newcastle manager, irrespective of the timescale, and former Everton and Manchester United boss David Moyes has been well supported in recent days and is as short as 6/4 to be next through the St James' Park gates.
Newcastle entertain Cardiff next weekend and their quote of 10/11 to beat the Bluebirds (7/2) looks fair with the players likely to put on a show for their last home game.
Boro make the long journey to relegated Yeovil on Saturday and are 8/5 favourites to end their season with back-to-back wins after they sent Barnsley.
Hartlepool finish their season at home to Exeter and are 23/20 to end the campaign with a win after their excellent point at Home Park at the weekend. Colin Cooper thought his side played well at Plymouth and he will want to end a topsy-turvy season for the club in style at Victoria Park.

DETROIT, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Disgruntled Detroit Lions receiver Titus Young has been placed on injured reserve, likely ending his season, the team announced Tuesday.
The move was made after Young openly sulked on the field when quarterback Matthew Stafford didn't throw to him and argued with receivers coach Shawn Jefferson during a Nov. 18 Detroit loss to Green Bay.
The mercurial second-year pro was put on the inactive list for the Lions' last two contests after managing only seven catches for 79 yards over the previous three games.
"When you play a game like football, it's a team sport and players have obligations to the team," Schwartz after the incident. "Titus hasn't done a good job of fulfilling those obligations this week and recently."
Young -- who had also been disciplined earlier for fighting with a teammate -- made 33 catches for 383 yards and four touchdowns over Detroit's first 10 games this season.

When Lindsay and Addison Gramling were 7 and 4, they thought about children not as fortunate as they are. And they decided to do something about it.
Kelly Gramling, the girls' mother, had read "Charlie's Lunch Story" about a child sick with a serious heart defect who had given his lunch to another boy, and how Initial Outfitters, a home party business, donated its profit from lunchbox sales to Charlie's Lunch ministry.
She bought each girl one of the lunchboxes, and the conversation turned to how some children don't have anything to put in their boxes.
Lindsay suggested they put some lunchboxes together for kids in need, which they did.
Last year, the girls started the Lunchbox of Love Project. They ended up with 50 boxes filled with healthy snacks and water and donated them to the Children's Home Society to be given to the children during their Adoption Luncheon.
"I think it's nice to help kids that aren't as fortunate as me," said Lindsay, now 8.
This year, the drive is under way through March and will benefit Wolfson Children's Hospital. They plan on filling the boxes with games, coloring books and other forms of activities for children in the hospital.
The boxes are insulated so they can be used to carry medications, drinks or other supplies for future hospital visits.
"It's fun to fill them up, and the kids are going to say 'wow' when they see them," said Addison, now 5.
The Gramlings pay $20 each for the lunchboxes from a company that ships them free. Then, the Gramlings use donations and their own money to buy supplies to fill the boxes.
"We have been very blessed in our lives, and giving back to others is just the right thing to do," said Gramling. "It makes my husband and me very happy and proud to see that our girls see the need to help others and are willing to do something about it."

Drakensang, who wants to play it?
After I played G3 and the Witcher, Drakensang is a game I don't want to play. Bye bye Drakensang!
With the limited amount of RPG's on PC today, picking two out of 3, and then bidding farewell to a game one haven't played, on a forum for that game…
Unless this is satire or bad humor, it strikes me as highly immature, inflammatory, attention seeking and trolling.
"I do X, therefore I wont to Y/Y is bad/Y is wrong/people who do Y is stupid/everybody should do X" is a logic I often had in my teenage years, but as I grew older I realized how silly it was, especially when it's related to entertainment.
* I use computers, therefore it's wrong to use consoles
* I use PC, therefore it's wrong of me to like Macintosh
* I use PS3, therefore I should vow to never own a XBox 360
* I like Star Wars, therefore I shun Star Trek
* I play storytelling games, which makes me too sophisticated to play Dungeons & Dragons
Speaking of party RPGs, Drakensang is the best substitute for Baldur's Gate out there. NWN or NWN2 are much worse and I think most of us are sick and tired of the progress how D&D rules are evolving. TDE feels fresh (at least to me) and interesting.
You obviously like single character RPGs better and that's okay.
PS. Your thread start is very trolling too.
can we change the username to rpgtroll?
The fact is I played for 15 minutes and just couldn't continued. The game is so old and slow. So you think in this forum I have to praise it cheers cheers! Is this what you want to hear?
What kind of person goes to burger place shouting that he hates burgers? Or do you go to Toyota forum complaining that you hate the brand?
Play few hours and then give your real opinion. You obviously only read few bad reviews, tried for a second and now come to here trolling. I understand real critic, but just shouting out that you don't like it doesn't make any sense, especially in this forum.
First of all, the game is not old and graphics are decent. And the game isn't that slow (if you mean the characters). I'm welcome to hear your opinion after you have given a real shot with the game.
But for now, bye bye rpgdude!
Well, on your list (Gothic 3, Witcher and Drakensang) Drakensang definitely is the odd one out. But why post this here? There is no informational content in your post.
Opening a thread with a misleading title (which sounds like an invite into playing)
in the appropriate sub-forum
and stating in the very first post that one doesn't like a game at all
generates the most maximum level of attention.
To me, this feels like a thoroughly planned deed.
Well, I'm working thru the second city right now, so I guess the answer is, "Me".
@Mike- that's just a bit scary.
@ Mike: Good Godfrey Daniels!O_O And I thought this guy was bad!
@dte: so what do you think of the game--how's the interface? I'm on the border about it.
So far, so good, Mags. When I can concentrate on it for an hour or more, it gets downright engrossing. Unfortunately, that's a little rare for me. The interface isn't bad at all. I struggled at first (particularly since my first character --"first" is more appropriate than "main" the way it plays-- was a hocus-pocus type), but I'm getting much more comfy now. I've still got combat pausing every round, but I issue orders quickly enough now that it's no longer jarring. It's a little early for me to give you a definite opinion, but initial impressions are good and it's only $30 at Best Buy.
I've been holding back since I've heard the character development aspect is not very meaningful (i.e. choices you make don't seem to make much of a difference).
Regarding character development he said that it was one of the highlights of this game.
For me Drakensang is one of the best CRPGS of the last years. In particular I liked the option for auto-pause after each round, because it reminded me of the infinity engine.
I believe that it was a big mistake to sell it for 30 $ in the US from the beginning, so people get the misconception that it is a budget title.
As a diehard spreadsheet RPGer, I still have the feeling that I'm "not doing it right" since I don't completely understand the Dark Eye system and haven't finished the game to understand what matters and what does not. That's just my particular craziness, though. I haven't quite got used to the "allocate points whenever" approach, either.
Overall, I'd say character development will be a lot of fun.
OK, I must have heard wrong. Maybe it's time for an ear canal flushing.
You can find a couple of paragraphs on character development in both our reviews. It's not a weakness, it's Drakensang's strongest point.
Hmm but I have heard that there are a lot of skills that are rather pointless to develop. Maybe the translation from PnP to CRPG wasn't fully leveraged?
Are you perhaps talking about the Realms of Arkania games? They offered a myriad of skills to characters, not all of which were useful. But Drakensang? I'd say the best strategy is to have all talents represented in your party setup. I don't remember any of them being really pointless.

Full Comment's Araminta Wordsworth brings you a daily round-up of quality punditry from across the globe. Today: The behaviour of Trey Radel offers an interesting contrast to the antics of a certain politician north of the border.
The Republican U.S. representative from Florida seems to have done everything right since he was nabbed buying cocaine from an undercover police officer in Washington. (It's hard not to be believe he's being advised by a PR consultant.)
The 37-year-old quickly pleaded guilty. Then he apologized profusely to everyone in sight. He also said he would be treated for his addictions to drugs and alcohol.
His admissions have largely defused the situation — though of course there are calls for his resignation in some quarters. More importantly, top Republican leaders seem inclined to cut him some slack and have not so far demanded he step down.
Radel is also lucky. Because he was charged in Washington he got only a year's probation — not the five years in jail he could have received back home in Fort Meyers, Fla.
Politico's Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer note the mild response is a sea change for John Boehner, the House of Representatives speaker.
John Boehner has made swiftly dealing with bad behavior a signature of his leadership, at times working behind the scenes to orchestrate an exit or levy a punishment on lawmakers caught in ethical or legal mishaps. But House Republican leaders are not calling for first-term Rep. Trey Radel (R-Fla.) to step down after he pleaded guilty in D.C. Superior Court to possessing cocaine. Radel was swept up in a drug sting in October by an undercover police officer and an "acquaintance" with whom he had done cocaine, according to court documents … It's a shift, of sorts, for a Republican leadership team that has tried to expeditiously deal with ethical mishaps by its members. Boehner, who became Republican leader in 2006, has a long record of very little tolerance for bad behavior by his colleagues.
Despite the leaders' inclination to cut Radel some slack, Democrats and Republicans in Florida say he should resign. As The Hill's Mario Trujillo reports,
Scott Arceneaux, the executive director of the Florida Democratic Party, called Radel's actions an "embarrassment" and said the congressman should allow voters to pick someone who can "effectively and honorably serve them."
An editorial in the Fort Myers-based News Press newspaper is in agreement.
He embarrassed the voters who put their faith and trust in him. He embarrassed his colleagues and friends. Most importantly, he embarrassed his family and himself. U.S. Congressman Trey Radel, who ran on family values, must resign immediately. He can no longer be an effective leader and represent the people of Southwest Florida.
The paper is especially miffed as it endorsed Radel in 2010.
But Josh Barro of Business Insider believes the congressman has no need to apologize to anyone — except his family.
But I'd also note that politicians who get in trouble for drugs feel public pressure to seek rehab even if they never had an addiction. Radel wouldn't be allowed to say "I do coke because it is fun and I don't have any problem requiring treatment" even if that's an accurate description of his situation. This is a key contrast from Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who quite obviously has a substance abuse problem that is interfering with his official duties. Ford has been videotaped stumbling drunk around downtown Toronto, told reporters he "might have had some drinks and driven," was thrown out of a public event in March for intoxication, allegedly grabbed a political opponent's ass while drunk at a party, and attributed his crack use to being "in one of my drunken stupors."
At the Stop the Drug War website, David Border defends Radel against charges of hypocrisy for voting for legislation to drug test people getting food stamps.
[This] is true only in a technical sense … what Radel voted for was an ultimately failed version of the Farm Bill, one of the major, recurring federal budget bills that get authorized every five years. It includes things like agricultural subsidies, funding for the food stamps program as a whole (now known as SNAP, Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, rather than "food stamps"), many other items. Drug testing of food stamp recipients was just one provision out of many in the bill. [It] passed on a voice vote, no roll call. That means there is no way to know, at least from the official legislative record, what Radel's position on the amendment was.

Their stylized "A," the Swoosh, that elongated "O"—all readily recognizable symbols that speak volumes both on and off the playing fields. They are now being joined by names that much like the familiar "O" began their lives as sports glasses and are spreading into other arenas. The power of these sport stars comes through loud and clear—reinforcing the energy and appeal of distinctive and active lifestyles.

The Nike Swoosh was designed in 1971 and first used on running shoes at the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. in 1972. Carolyn Davidson, a graphic design student at Portland State University, designed the logo for $35. Originally, the mark was called "the stripe," but over time it began to be called a "swoosh," for no apparent reason. It supposedly symbolizes speed and grace. When Nike CEO Phil Knight was presented with the design, he settled on it after rejecting several others, saying, "I don't love it, but it will grow on me."

If you've never walked between fifty foot walls of ferns, than you haven't experienced a hike like Fern Canyon Trail. This short trek transports you through a cool moist canyon with fortress-like walls covered top to bottom in enchanting ferns. The trail starts just inland from a vacant stretch of the North Coast of California, and then turns inland into the lush shady forest housing Fern Canyon. The hike can be done as a 1.1-mile lollipop loop with 150 feet of elevation gain, but it is most enjoyable as a one mile out and back with 75 feet of elevation gain. Turn around at the top of Fern Canyon and replay the most exciting portion of the hike.
From the Fern Canyon Day Use Parking Area north of Gold Bluffs Beach Campground, proceed north on California Coastal Trail to the turnoff for Fern Canyon. Hang a right and make your way up the center of the fern furnished canyon. Expect your footwear to get a little wet from here. This trail crisscrosses a steady creek, and while there are several wooden footbridges, it is hard to escape without at least one wet toe. Wear scandals, and enjoy.
Fern Canyon narrows to a width of less than thirty feet. The level bottom is boxed in by stout vertical walls. Water seeps from behind the tapestry of ferns to create a lush microclimate. You might find hiking up Fern Canyon like walking through a hedge maze, but there are no crossroads to be concerned with. The course is clear and the only obstacles are the meandering creek and downed trees strewn around the canyon.
Eight different species of ferns thrive in Fern Canyon. The easiest to spot is five-finger fern. Not only is it everywhere in the canyon, but it has an unmistakable multi-finger design. Sworn fern is also common. It has a pointy triangular shape, and can be spotted at the base of the canyon walls in low-light areas. This fern is common in redwood forests throughout the region.
After a quarter mile in a fantasy world of ferns, the trail exits the left side of the canyon up a series of wooden steps. Turn around here and head back down the canyon, or of you prefer, see what the forest above has to offer.
Hiking up out of the canyon, go a tenth of a mile to Friendship Ridge Trail and turn left. The next 1/4 mile of trail goes through pristine pine forest back to the mouth of Fern Canyon. A short distance from the junction, pass an unmarked spur trail on the left that crosses a small meadow to the rim of Fern Canyon. You can enjoy a nice view down the trench from here before backtracking to the main trail.
Fern Canyon Trail provides a short unique hike. The trailhead has bathrooms and beach access. Camping is nearby. Dogs are not allowed on trails in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. There is an $8 day use fee to enter the park but no permit is required to explore Fern Canyon. The dirt road between the 101 and the trailhead passes through a redwood forest that enhances the experience of visiting Fern Canyon.
To get to the trailhead: From Highway 101, 2.5 miles north of Orick and 18 miles south of Klamath, turn west on to Davidson Road. Follow this road for four miles through a redwood forest to the park entrance station. Continue another two miles to the trailhead at the end of Gold Bluffs Beach Road.
Trailhead address: Gold Bluffs Beach Road, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, Orick, CA 95555
Trailhead coordinates: 41.400618, -124.0657 (41° 24′ 02.22″N 124° 03′ 56.55″W)

Spectra Energy Employees Complete 228 Volunteer Projects Across the U.S. and Canada
Oct 04, 2011, 08:30 ET from Spectra Energy
HOUSTON, Oct. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectra Energy employees and retirees have completed 228 volunteer projects this year in communities throughout the U.S. and Canada as part of the company's "Helping Hands in Action" program.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20061030/CLM051LOGO)
Over 2,000 employees, retirees, their families and friends contributed more than 10,000 volunteer hours to 200 non-profit organizations in communities across the Spectra Energy enterprise. Projects ranged from cleaning up beaches, schools, camps and parks to preparing meals for those in need. Some examples include:
- To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Union Gas, Spectra Energy's local distribution company in Ontario, Canada, employees there participated in more than 100 volunteer projects in 100 days. These included assembling beds at a YWCA residence, raising funds for people with Down Syndrome, and beautifying a new equine center that provides riding therapy for people with disabilities.
- In Houston, employee volunteers made 4,000 sack lunches that were distributed through the SEARCH Homeless Project. Employees also worked with Rebuilding Together Houston to repair an elderly woman's home.
- Volunteers from Spectra Energy's Southeast Field Operations helped build a wheelchair ramp for a needy family in Tenn., cleaned up the Padre Island National Seashore in Corpus Christi, Texas, refurbished an elementary school in Egan, La., and spruced up a Little League field in Goliad, Texas.
- Employees in Brewster, New York; Harrisburg, Penn.; and Westwood, Mass., spruced up a municipal day camp for children, a wildlife sanctuary and a recreational camp, respectively.
- At the company's western Canada operations, employees raised $34,000 through a golf tournament to support Ronald McDonald Houses in Edmonton and Vancouver. They also volunteered for Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids, an organization that provides school-aged children with a nutritious lunch that they otherwise may not have.
"Community involvement is a core value at Spectra Energy. By volunteering their time and talent, our employees can, and do, make a tremendous difference in the communities where we live and work," said Spectra Energy President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Ebel.

LOGAN, Utah – Utah State senior center Tyler Larsen has been named a fourth-team preseason All-American by Phil Steele, it was announced Wednesday. He is one of just four centers at the Football Bowl Subdivision level to be honored.
Larsen is one of three Mountain West players named to Phil Steele's preseason All-American list along with Fresno State wide receiver Davante Adams and Boise State defensive end Demarcus Lawrence, who were also named to the fourth-team.
Along with being named a preseason All-American by Phil Steele, Larsen is also one of 44 players on the 2013 Rimington Trophy Watch List, which is given annually to the nation's most outstanding center in college football.
Larsen, a 6-foot-4, 312-pounder from Salt Lake City, Utah (Jordan HS), enters his senior season having started 38 consecutive games, which is the longest active streak on the team. Larsen is a two-time first-team all-Western Athletic Conference honoree and the first USU offensive lineman to accomplish that feat since 1997.Comment on this story
During the 2012 season, Larsen tied for the team lead along with Schultz with an 86 percent overall performance grade, including 78 percent in technique and 83 percent in effort. He carried out the right assignment 97 percent of the time, including four games where he graded out at a perfect 100 percent. He also graded out above 90 percent two times in total performance, and above 80 percent 12 times in effort and seven times in technique. Overall, he posted 65.5 knockdowns on the season.
Utah State will open the 2013 season on Thursday, Aug. 29, at Utah and play its first Mountain West game the following weekend at Air Force on Saturday, Sept. 7. USU's first home game of the 2013 campaign will be on Saturday, Sept. 14, against Weber State, while its first home Mountain West game will be on Saturday, Oct. 12, against Boise State.

Silverguard Plus Car Cover
Coverking Silverguard Plus Car CoverSilverguard plus is the HUMMER of car covers, a work horse that will protect your vehicle for years against most of natural and manmade hazards. It is made from 300 X 300 denier rugged polyester with sun and UV reflecting silver poly urethane coating on top and two coats of highly water resistant polyurethane coating on the underside. Additionally, the material is laminated with soft polyester felt on the side that touches the vehicle. This helps protect the finish and keep the car looking new for years.
Silverguard+ is a 300 Denier polyester material with a reflective, water resistant coating on the outer layer and a soft, non-abrasive layer on the inside. It is a great choice for all-around car cover use, suggested for most conditions except extreme rain, snow or ice. 300 denier is a strong, heavy weave which will not rip or tear easily. The silver coating on Silverguard+ does an excellent job of reflecting sunlight, while keeping rain and animal droppings from damaging the vehicle finish. The special soft inner layer pampers the most delicate paint finish.
Silverguard Plus is a great all-weather fabric used by Coverking for our custom car covers. Silverguard Plus is a special woven polyester fabric made with 300 denier yarn (twice as thick as similar fabrics) with a thick, silver reflective urethane coating on the outside. The polyester material is non-scratch and the urethane outer coating should withstand extreme sun for years. After this base material is produced, we take the material to another facility to adhere a special soft lining to the inside. This lining adds softness, and also some bulk.
Coverking developed Silverguard Plus to address the middle-market with special consideration for sunny climates, and for people who need a soft inner liner. Silverguard Plus is also water resistant and extra soft to the vehicle's paint, so it is a great all-round cover. Keep in mind the extra inner lining makes Silverguard Plus almost twice as bulky as the regular Silverguard.
Coverking uses wax coated thread in overlapped, double stitched seams. The wax coating expands in the pierced hole created during the stitching process, to help cover the hole. Once again, some competitors take the cheaper route by using an ultra-sonic welding of the material instead of sewing. This process is far cheaper, because it melts the fabric layers together. It also doesn't use any thread. Unfortunately, the area melted together becomes very hard and examples of scratching the vehicle surface are not uncommon.
Coverking offers a 1 year repair or replace warranty on custom Silverguard Plus covers.
CARE and CLEANING
Silverguard Plus can be easily cleaned by washing while on a vehicle. Use common carwash detergent, and air dry.

Korean cooking forum topics
Home › Forums › Introduce yourself › Half Korean wanting to start cooking more!
This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by kimmyluna 4 years ago.
Hi, all, my name is Kim. I'm half Korean and I haven't had real Korean food for about 13 years when I was living with my Korean mom. I miss her food so much and the only thing I really know how to make is bulgogi. My husband absolutely loves my bulgogi! It's not like the recipe here on maangchi, but I've heard that not all Koreans make the same recipe depending on the region they grew up in, etc. I just recently came across this website and I can't wait to start making some of it!
I also have a baby who's 7 months old and I really want him to be able to experience some Korean food.

Patriot Guard honors Willmar, Minn., soldier's service
WILLMAR -- Two dozen Patriot Guards remembered the service of Russell Castro to his country by serving as honor guards at his funeral Monday at Bethel Lutheran Church in Willmar.
Castro, 37, of Willmar, died Sept. 23 after being diagnosed about one year ago with leukemia.
Castro was proud of his service to country and the military, and family members felt it would be appropriate if the Patriot Guard served at his funeral.
"My husband would have been smiling,'' said his widow, Dawn. The Guard's presence meant no less to his survivors.
"It made me cry,'' said Dawn of her appreciation for their presence.
Castro had joined the Minnesota National Guard in 2003. He served with the 1st Brigade, 34th Infantry "Red Bulls'' in Iraq. He served a 16-month deployment in Iraq along with six months of training in Mississippi.
Members of his unit are currently serving in Kuwait and held a memorial service there as the service took place in Willmar. The service in Willmar was recorded and will be sent to the troops in Kuwait.
Castro was currently enrolled in Ridgewater College for an associate degree in welding. He remained a member of the Guard and might possibly have been deployed with his unit were it not for his illness.
He is survived by his wife, Dawn, and three children: Brianna Jo, 17; Sierra Dawn, 15; and Tre Devon, 11.
Patriot Guard members at the service said they respond to all requests from military families. Some of the Patriot Guard members came from locations such as Alexandria, and some took off time from work to be present.
Speaking outside the church, they emphasized that their service on Monday was small compared to what Castro and other troops have given by their service.

This is traditional Cuban music in form and flavor featuring the legendary percussionist Tata Guines. The rhythm is rock steady and light as a feather. The format on every tune is similar as are the tempos. This is traditional Son where the Jazz melodies are stated and then the ensemble breaks into montunos for the solos with call and response between voice, horn and voices. The rendition of Tenderly breaks into Manisero, the Cuban classic and Take the A Train segues into Guantanamera. Autumn leaves is sung with Spanish lyrics by Mario Elena Lazo (gorgeous!) as is My Prayer.
There are also versions of Satin Doll, In the Mood, Rhapsody in Blue, Perfidia, Summertime and Moonlight Serenade. There is no piano; the harmonic instrument is the Tres played by Pancho Amat, adding to the Cuban feeling. Julio Padron on trumpet and leader-arranger- trombonist J.P Torres are the soloists. Torres has a soft, rich tone, has done clever,imaginative arranging and the music stays sweet, danceable and absolutely Cuban. There are no politics here, just love and respect showing once again that music and art transcends all Borders and Blockades.

First we highly encourage you to take advantage of our priority support by sending us a support ticket. This way your 24-hours response time is guaranteed.
The source code of TreeLayout.cs is located in Telerik.Windows.Diagrams.Core solution. You should be able to see it since you have Developer Licence with subscription. However, we don't believe it is a good idea to override some of the methods there to achieve the layout you need.
Based on your feedback from your other threads, we think you need some kind of topological sort. It cannot be implemented out of the box with Tree Layout since it uses tree with single root and has a presumption that every shape has single parent shape and I see from your pictures that this is not your case (the blue shape in the middle has 2 parent shapes).
Looking at the graph in your pictures, have you considered using a TreeUp Layout and set the red shape as a root ? If this is not a solution in bigger graph you can consider this:
No, I mean you first invoke TreeLayout then invoke your method that handles shapes with multiple parents and arranges them. We recently also added DiagramLayoutCompleted event which will fit well in this case - it will give you a moment in which the layout has already passed and every shape has its new position already set. In its event handler you will be able to onvoke the custom method.
Hope this will help you proceed further.
Yes, I mean calculate new position. Something like:
If my parent is below me, set this parent to position next to the parent that is above me.

We can add this as feature request in our PITS and we can consider implementing it if it gathers enough votes - this is the usual procedure for such requests.
As for the Source Code of Treelayout.cs you can use JustDecompile.

ApproachFlying into Lukla 9,350 ft.:
(Note walking times are approximate a lot will depend on how you acclimitize.)
Slowly decend to Phakding 8,700 ft. about 2 hr walk from Lukla, you will probably overnight here.
The next morning after about 2-3 hours you will pass through Jorsale 9,100 ft. . Here is where you will pay a fee and enter the Sagarmatha (Everest) National Parkand. You will then continue for another 2-3 hours up hill to the main Village of Namche Bazaar 11,300 ft. This is quite an elevation gain especially for those who have flown in. You should rest here one to two days, doing small side trips ect. to acclimitize.
The next day will take you through Shyangboche 11,800 ft. (approx) then onto the village of Khunde 12,600 ft. then onto Khumjung 12,400 ft. then you decend to near the river crossing at 10,650 ft. Cross over at Pungo Tenga. Then it is uphill for two hours to Tengboche. This is another good rest spot.
The following day continue east out of the settlement and down 1.5 hours to Pangboche 12,800 ft. (keep right). Continue for 1.5 hours till you reach a fork in the trail. Go left down to the river and cross over and uphill to the village of Pheriche (13,950 ft.). Stop here for the night. Here there is a Hospital for treating altitude illnesses.
The next day or so go north along the valley floor to the end and then up to the north-east along the glacial moraine past Dunhla (15,075 ft.) (Climbers memorials) to the Village of Labouche (16,175 ft.) another 2-4 hours will bring you to Gorak Shep. from here you can go to the top of Kala Pattar (18,450 ft.) or cross the moraine to the right over to Everest Base Camp (17,575 ft.) The base camp trek is longer thtn you would think so bring lots of water and food.
Route DescriptionThe walk in for the first few days follows a very well travelled beaten track. A highway of trekkers, porters and yaks. The last couple of day involves a lot of travel over loose rocks (moraine). This is tiring with the altitude. Your foot ware should be comfortable well broken in and as waterproof as possible as you can and will encounter all types of weather.
Essential GearPartial Equipment list info:
Here is a brief incomplete list for you.
3-1-litre waterbottles with insulators (drink at LEAST 5 litres a day to help acclimatize)
Food....your sherpas can provide this.

Holiday catalogs have been piling up on your entry hall table for quite some time now. So it must be getting down to W-2 crunch time. Critical due dates:
