Aaron O'Connor agrees new two-year deal with Newport County
- From the section Football
Top scorer Aaron O'Connor has signed a two-year contract with Newport County.
The 29-year-old was on target 19 times during the season, his last coming in the 2-0 play-off final victory over Wrexham at Wembley.
Manager Justin Edinburgh said the club had beaten off the challenge of "one-or-two League One clubs" to clinch O'Connor's signature.
"We're absolutely delighted he's prepared to stay for a further two seasons," said Edinburgh.
"We knew that there would be fierce competition but I think ... that his decision was made pretty easy to stay at the football club.
"Fair play, the boy wanted to listen to what people had to say, but it didn't take that long for him to make his mind up."
Edinburgh believes O'Connor and his strike partner Christian Jolley will be able to handle the transition from the Conference to the Football League.
"It's a step-up no doubt," said the former Tottenham defender.
"Aaron hasn't played League football and Christian [Jolley] had a brief little spell at Wimbledon last season but my hand on my heart and watching them working day in, day out, I think they'll both adapt quite comfortably.
"I think that they'll embrace it and there's nothing to fear from the League above."
Edinburgh added that he has secured the signatures of the squad members he wants to stay at the club, and is hoping to bring in new players as soon as possible.
"[It was] was paramount to get the players who were out of contract signed," he said.
"I'll sit down with the people [club board] again this week ... and hopefully we'll have it finalised in about a couple of days to see how many more new faces we can bring in.
"One or two of the people we are talking to are at pretty advanced stages and I'm hopeful that that may come through by the end of the week."

This is our 6th Year of selling this on Ebay and tried and proven by ourselves over many years often imitated but never duplicated. This is a recipe unique to ourselves and a blend of several oils and components from years of trial and tweaked as we go along not just a tube filled with one simple over the counter oil. FEEDBACK just in:- excellent lure ,cought first swarm 10/05/2017 highly recomendedBuyer: During past month Honey Bee Swarm Attractant Lures Beekeeping hive 3 tubes (#371540669600) Seems to work. 1 swarm into a hive....one bait hive buzzing today. Bloody good!Buyer: During past month Honey Bee Swarm Attractant Lures Beekeeping Equipment hive *10 tubes* swarm lure (#381159039349) 3 TUBES PROVEN SWARM LURESIf you having ever seen a honey bee swarm you cannot help to wonder how a single queen bee can hold a mass of 30,000 bees in a cluster like this. Well its all down to a pheromone released from the queen bees Nasonov gland. This is a hugely complex blend of different terpenoids including Citronellol, nerolic acid and geranic acid and much more. Although this can not be 100% reproduced many of these essential compounds do occur in naturally in nature. Now there are plenty of honey bee lures available on the internet which are simply one oil in a tube and sold on. Many do work with different rates of success but over several years of trial an error our lures consist of a blend of several of these essential compounds found in the natural Nasonov pheromone. Last year we had 20 swarms from just 8 traps. If you take the average cost of a nuc of bees of some £150 then work the maths out. These can be used to attract swarms to your trap or hive or used to lure bees away from an area or to your orchard to pollinate your crops. Swarming season runs from Late April to August in the UK but its never to early to start making your traps. Any wooden box of aprox 25 litre capacity. A small 50p sized entrance and smear the contents of one tube around the entrance and place another with the cap off inside the container. If you have old hive boxes use one of these or even the wood from broken ones for double success as. Or if you can obtain a piece of old brood comb use this as well. We always point out to customers if there are no bees within a couple of miles of your area in the first place you cant lure something that is not there to be caught. You would have to be unlucky though not to be within range of a swarm. Check traps every couple of days through swarming season. You will see traps slowly get more and more active then one still hot sunny afternoon bingo the swarm will arrive. Its never to early to make up your traps and the longer its exposed to the lure chemicals the better. The wood just soaks up the scent Catching these swarms gets quite addictive in the end. The americans actually call it Bee Fishing and i can see why. Its got the same excitement when you go off to check your traps. This sale is for a pack of 3 lures and once received please keep in an airtight container until you are ready to use. They are good for 12 months stored like this and you do not need to store any other way. All lures i send out are no older then 1 month old as we mix once a month and it takes a while to make a batch. Remember to handle swarms with care and please use with common sense i.e. do not place in areas near to childrens play areas e.t.c. These are used at your own risk and we do not accept any responsibilty for any injurys, damages or harm that comes from the use of this product. Keep out of reach of children. GOOD LUCK and Have fun. Another email ive recentaly had:-Hi JasonI purchased some Bee lure from you recently.I put out 2 traps a month ago,I have seen bees coming and going for 2 weeks but no swarm.Yesterday i heard a drone of bees getting closer and closer.......i was in the garden.One trap is on my shed roof in amongst houses......oop.I looked up to see a massive swarm high up but getting closer .....then they dropped down and went into my the bait hive.All being well if they stay ..off to my hives in a couple of days.Brilliant.Steve Condition: New, Modified Item: No, Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom, Custom Bundle: No, MPN: Does Not Apply, Brand: Unbranded, Product Type: attractant, Non-Domestic Product: No

My boys have enjoyed being in plays growing up (Jr. High plays, Broadway Kidz each year, community theater), but this has been Trevor's favorite. He was excited to make the cast of Seussical the Musical, his first High School Musical. Can you believe my youngest boy's a freshman already?
Sophie and Sage cheered and supported him all the way! Love the "Who Hair"
The cast practically lived at the school, rehearsing right after school until late at night, doing homework in between scenes. Even Saturday rehearsals.
They had a successful fundraiser Seussical Brunch- served Green Eggs and Ham, a Silent Auction, Who Hair and Face Painting, Pictures w/ Cat in the Hat, Dr. Seuss storytime, and mini performances from the cast, it was a hit! The girls loved the pampering and funky hair-do from the Dance Co.
They did a great job with all the bling and said our girls hair turned out the best. That's what we get for being the last in line, a lot of pampering.
With the Cat in the Hat, he did an awesome job in the play!!
Some of Trevor's biggest fans, thanks for coming Grandma & Elisa!
The woman who put it all together, she's a great director and theater teacher! She pushed them hard to bring out their best talent. Thanks Phaidra!
Trevor's first autograph, cute.
Excuse the blur, I had to hurry to catch this, all these pics are from my phone.
Trevor was happy to perform for the mayor on the last night (sold out show). I was busy helping with concessions that night. Proud of my boy! Great show!
They'll miss this, but as Dr. Seuss says "Don't be sad that it's over, be glad that it happened!"

Russian-born, Colorado-raised filmmaker Julia Loktev ("Day Night Day Night") writes and directs this slow-moving minimalist romance story based on a variation of the Ernest Hemingway 1936 story "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber", that Tom Bissell based on his short story "Expensive Trips Nowhere".

couple's playful actions, they appear to be very
much in love. Nothing is revealed about their lives

the couple encounter a rifle threatening trio of
mountain man and Alex makes a cowardly gesture that
lasts only a few seconds and then corrects himself,
but even though it's never mentioned again the
couple's relationship changes forever and it becomes a
different movie than expected as the pleasure trip is

surprising moment of truth that has suddenly changed
their romance.

Want to Know What It's Like to Go Out in Public When Your Child Uses a Wheelchair?
Let's say you have a clown baby.
Now, before I continue, let me be clear: I know this sounds crazy, but just go with me for a moment. Use your imagination. You can do it.
OK, like I said, you have a clown baby. By which I mean your baby is dressed like a clown. Your little bundle of joy is sporting a round red nose and a powder white face. The kid's got a painted smile lacquered from ear to ear and a puffy red wig that would make Ronald McDonald green with envy. And then there are the shoes – don't forget the shoes. Your clown baby has got big shoes. Long and floppy, bulbous and yellow. With neon pink laces for good measure.
Can you picture it? Can you feel the weight of this rainbow-colored darling in your arms?
Now, imagine you're walking through the mall with your clown baby toddling along beside you – maybe you're holding hands or maybe you've got them on one of those baby-leashes (no judgment) or maybe you're corralling the little rascal towards Starbucks so you can snag some caffeine before it's time to go – when, suddenly, you raise your eyes and glance around. You see fellow shoppers moving to and fro. And what do you imagine they're doing?
You see it don't you?
They're all watching your clown baby.
All of them.
Most of them are sneaky, stealing quick glances that bounce from you to your clown baby to the shop windows then back to your clown baby in a continuous loop. Some of them are shameless, grinning good-naturedly and nudging their companions saying, "Oh my goodness – do you see that?! So cute." Children are the most dumbfounded, dragging behind their mothers, heads turned, jaws hanging slack. You've seen children stumble directly into oncoming pedestrians, solid walls and – on one occasion– a metal pole because their eyes were fixed on your clown baby rather than on the path before them (true story). Groups of teenage girls are the loudest with their happy gasps and sitcom worthy "aww!"s. You once caught the entire Sbarro's pizza line smiling and waving and discussing your clown baby together.
And at first you think, "My goodness – it's like these people have never seen a baby dressed like a clown before!" But then you realize, they probably haven't. They saw one on a poster once or on the news when the circus passed through town, but in real life? This is their first time. Of course they're making a fuss. Can you blame them? For heaven's sake, you have a clown baby.
Strangers stop to chat. "We've never seen such a well-dressed clown," they say. "We didn't even know they made clown noses that small!"
"Seeing your clown baby just makes my day!"
"God bless you and your clown baby."
"Your clown baby is something else. Just precious!"
You'll nod and smile. You'll small talk and wave. You'll tell your clown baby to say hello. You might even enjoy it a little. That's OK. I mean, if you think about it, are you really surprised? What did you expect? Is there anything cuter than a clown baby? They're novel and different and surprising. They've got fantastic hair and flowers that squirt water. People certainly don't see them every day.
Besides, no one is being cruel. Everyone is being positively dramatically spectacularly kind. Do their stares and smiles and comments make you angry? Of course not.
But they do make you a bit, well… tired.
Because you quickly realize it's not just your clown baby everyone is watching.
They're watching you too.
They're watching to see if you're happy. They're wondering if you're sensitive about your clown baby or worn down by all the toil and hardship that goes into caring for a clown baby (they've heard that baby clown makeup takes a full hour to put on!). They're taking their cues from you. They're learning from you. And since this may be the only clown baby these people ever see, you feel immense pressure to convey to them the truth of your circumstances – to show them much of what they think they know about clown babies and the people who love them is wrong.
So you're approachable. You're open. You smile.
Come to think of it, you haven't frowned in public since your clown baby was born.
And sometimes that's hard.
It's hard because even though you just came here to return one ill-fitting pair of leggings and you're frustrated because clown baby is swiping all the gosh darn sunglasses from the kiosk display and tossing them willy-nilly onto the floor and you're this close to really losing your patience… you can't show it.
Because you're not invisible. You do not blend in. And you're afraid if you reveal even a hint of discontent, all those strangers behind all those watchful eyes will think one thing:
"Well, of course she's stressed. Not surprising, really. It can't be easy… after all, look at that baby of hers."
So you grin and you chat. You get your Starbucks while your clown baby tosses coins into the fountain.
And you hope your smile is making a difference, however small. So maybe, one day, when your clown baby is a clown adult, the world will be ready for all the wonderful things he will do.
In the circus.
Or wherever he wants to be.
I know this is completely ridiculous, but I was trying to explain to a friend what it's like when we go out and this is the best I could come up with. At first, I thought maybe I was imagining all this, but we've gone out with enough friends and family members to have the oddity of our situation confirmed over and over again. As my sister said "Wow — everyone is looking at us. It's kind of… a lot." Yes, it is.
So, what's it like for you? If your child has visible differences, can you relate? Does anyone else find themselves constantly smiling in public because you know people are watching? How do you think all of this affects our kiddos? Does our response affect our kids? If you don't have a child with a disability, what do you think when you see a family like ours out and about?

An article written by "Ru Mills" (pseudonym) and published in Conspiracy Nation (CN 12.08) gave details on the arrest of a "George Mearah" (apparently also known as Oswald LeWinter) for allegedly trying to sell top secret CIA documents to Mohamed Al-Fayed, father of Dodi Al-Fayed who died with Princess Diana in a suspicious car crash on August 31, 1997. This development was covered in several wire service and some newspaper reports. For example:
"A man was arrested in a hotel lobby in Vienna as he tried to sell documents to Mohamed Fayed that allegedly proved that his son Dodi and Diana, Princess of Wales, were murdered." (Electronic Telegraph, 4/30/98) "The suspect, a 67-year-old man whose name was withheld, had been peddling documents which purported to be evidence of a supposed murder plot, by implication involving British and U.S. intelligence." (Reuters, 4/29/98) A further update on the situation was reportedly broken on May 14, 1998, in a story appearing in the London Mirror newspaper. The Mirror apparently included one of the purported secret papers in its May 14th edition. Here is an excerpt from the blockbuster story: Mr. [Mohamed] Fayed believes the Diana papers, said to originate from the US Central Intelligence Agency, back his conviction that the British establishment masterminded a conspiracy against his son and the Princess . . . . Mr. Al Fayed said yesterday, "I intend to establish the truth behind the tragic events in Paris last August." . . . MI6 Director David Spedding is named in one telex and a squad from the Israeli secret service Mossad, referred to as the "K-Team", appears in another. [The documents] were seized in an Amsterdam hotel room three weeks ago when Mr. Al Fayed's security chief, backed by two FBI agents, met a middleman who was demanding 10 million (Pound Sterling) for them. The intermediary, 67 year old Oswald LeWinter, was arrested and is now in solitary confinement in a Vienna police cell. Here is a copy of one of the purported CIA documents, apparently published in the London Mirror: DOMESTIC COLLECTION DIVISION Foreign Intelligence Information Report Directorate of Intelligence WARNING NOTICE - INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS INVOLVED FURTHER DISSEMINATON AND USE OF THE INFORMATION SUBJECT TO CONTROLS STATED AT BEGINNING AND END OF REPORT REPORT CLASS: TOP SECRET REPORT NO: 00.D 831/173466-97 COUNTRY: France DATE DISTR: 17 June 1997 SUBJECT: File overview: Diana Princess Of Wales-Dodi REFERENCES DCI Case 64376 SOURCE: CASParis/CASLondon/COSGeneva/CASKingston/UK citizen Ken Etheridge 1. Relationship initiated between Diana POW and Dodi aF according to reliable intel sources in November 1996. Intimacy begins shortly after they meet 2. Reliable source reports Palace seriously disturbed by liaison. PM considers any al Fayed relationship politically disastrous. Edinburgh (Prince Phillip -ed) sees serious threat to dynasty should relationship endure. Quote reported: "Such an affair is racially and morally repugnant and no son of a bedouin camel trader is fit for the mother of a future king," Edinburgh. (Report filed) 3. Request from highest circles to DEA attache UK for 6 on Dodi re: Cocaine. See File forwarded to UK embassy DC. 4. US liaison to MI6 requested by David Spedding for assistance in providing permanent solution to Dodi problem. Blessing of Palace secured. 5. WHuse (White House -ed) denies Spedding request. Harrison authorized only to arrange meeting for MI6 representative with K-Team Geneva. 6. Meeting in Geneva reportedly successful 7. al Fayed Mercedes Limo stolen and returned with electronics missing. Reliable intel source confirms K-team involved. Source reports car rebuilt to respond to external radio controls.
What does all of this mean? Supposedly, the above information was garnered from a stolen CIA
document. Just how easy it would actually be to steal a CIA document of such gravity remains
open to speculation....
Of course, whether you subscribe to a plot mentality or nor, we are always eager for your input! Let us know what you think concerning this, or any other conspracy topic.

The Alphabet by Divina Iglesias
The god Hermes left a bucket filled with words on the step outside the gate. He knocked three times, in quick, short intervals. As I opened the door I could see its winged sandals flaying away, impulsively. Hermes helped the Three Graces design the alphabet, and now it has to be delivered as an unexpected gift
A prescription for use, left in a letter stacked to the side of the bucket, open to subversive minds, left The Graces and Hermes not choice but to include a disclaimer, to steer away any responsibility on the use of their invention. In the letter, they invited the advocate good sense, elegance, intelligence, humour, true grit, and a passion for weaving words, among other attributes, yet, it was known, that in the use of free will, some humans had shown a proclivity for tackiness, flowery discourse, incitement of hatred, and other such madness. The free use of the signs by humans had been discussed and agreed upon, after some debating. They were happy to have dictated the graphic look of all the letters in the alphabet. Henceforth how letters will commune with each other was no their business but that of authors.
I touched my eyelids, swollen from too much sleep, to check if I was still in the stupor of dreams, only the frost on the step under my bare feet stung me to the reality of being awake: just. It was fascinating to realize that signs, at last, were linked to vocal sounds. In the excitement, though, a thought crept in that will put the gift to a different use: to knock at my neighbour's door, bucket in hand, and throw its content at her: -revenge- to see her drenched in letters, the way she has, uninvitingly, approached me so many times with her words assault, uninterrupted verbal diarrhea, that left me with a persisting migraine. However much enjoyment I could anticipate, I left it to another time.
The precious present deserved a better, greater use. I sat to put together sentences to better understand the nature of being alive. What a gift to employ.

The Company was founded by Louis Rothman in 1890 as a small kiosk on Fleet Street in London. In 1900 Rothman opened a small showroom in Pall Mall from where he launched his famous Pall Mall cigarette brand. His reputation was such that King Edward VII granted Rothmans a royal warrant in 1905. Rothmans was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1929.
In 1954 the Rembrandt Tobacco Company acquired a controlling interest in Cheap Rothmans cigarettes. Rembrandt was expanding and in 1958 acquired Carreras who in turn took a 51% stake in Alfred Dunhill in 1967.
In the 1970s Rothmans became involved in sponsorship sponsoring the British Olympic team in 1972 and the inaugural Hong Kong Sevens in 1976. They also sponsored Rothmans Football Yearbook, an annual football reference book, from 1970 until 2002.

They would win the event a further three times in the 1980s. Rothmans-Porsche also won the 1985 World Sportscar Championship before the team officially pulled out of the championship in 1987. Rothmans sponsorship also extended to rallying, where they sponsored Walter Röhrl's 1982 World Rally Championship-winning Opel Ascona 400. In 1984 Porsche produced the 911 SC RS rally car specifically for Rothmans with the car being run by David Richards and the newly formed Prodrive. Rothmans also sponsored the winning Porsche team at the 1986 Paris-Dakar rally. When the Porsche involvement ended at the end of the Group B days, Rothmans transferred its association to the Subaru rally team, also run by Prodrive. Coincidentally, Richards was sponsored by Rothmans when he was co-driving Ari Vatanen to his privateer 1981 World Drivers' Championship success aboard the Ford Escort RS1800. The association with Prodrive would last until 1992, when their sponsorship was replaced by sister brand State 555.

In fact, the DOH says "secondhand smoke cigarettes can seep through lighting fixtures, cracks in walls, around plumbing, under doors, through shared...
From a health standpoint, there's a lot to be said for banning smoking cigarettes from the Montana State University campus. But the blanket ban on cigarettes store use adopted by campus leaders earlier this month seems a bit much.Protecting nonsmokers from secondhand smoke cigarettes is certainly a good thing, and measures to ensure that happens are justifiable. But a ban on all use of discount cigarettes on the 1,400-acre-plus MSU campus – including smokeless discount cigarette online and online cigarettes use in individuals' private vehicles – doesn't seem necessary to...

Moving Forward
Made Easy
Prayer, faithful attendance to meetings, daily readings, working steps, serving others, are all vital to recovery from addictions. Not doing them are the steps to relapse. You are either moving toward recovery, or you are moving away from it.
Wrong/Right Motives
No amount of biblical knowledge is of value unless it is personally used as a guide through life, and shared with others. A desire to have God's wisdom and understanding is noble, but only obtained by awesome respect for God's ways, only retained by giving it away. God knows the heart of the seeker.
These treasures are never for hoarding. If you struggle with having the ability to remember the Word you may want to check your motivation. How does recovery and following Christ connect?
Both following Jesus as a Christian and living in sobriety are programs of action. Carrying these messages to the lost or to a suffering alcoholic are battles that can be extremely intense at times, and never ending. Looking to know God better the reason to study the timeless truth of scripture. This is where your motivation should lie.. Working the steps to sober living should be the motivation to change everything that creates the impulse to drink.
The Way
Our motives are always seeking change, improvement, and purpose. That is discovered through serving others. Not serving others with self in mind. No "look what I've done for you." Always the motive is, "thank you God, for all you've done for me." This moves you and I toward maturity in Christ, and recovery from self.
Thanks for reading, God bless and keep you all.

A Nameless Dread - Naming a Character in an MMO
Recoilthreat replied to Humble Hobo's topic in Game Design and Theorynow heres a idea what about morping the players name like the player would name there toon lets say undeadlord then you lore system would take that and convert the lettering in to a new language that fits the lore this keeps two things you have a name that fits the lore and the palyer also gets to choose there own name and can be identifyed as both so if the player has a firend thats looking for him/her they could look it up either way example toon name: player types in: undead toons lore name: nem?tvi and can be dispayed as both or players option just a idea to toss out there
My Ideas about a sandbox Game, Feedback or help appreciated.
Recoilthreat replied to Authentic92's topic in Game Design and TheoryPoint one. Currently there are very few games that can push the 360 and ps3 which is why we haven't had a "new" major console officially announced for quite a few years now Point two. due the releases of major engines (such as udk and cry engine) making a sandbox game with high graphics with out "knowing" code is much more common and encourages people to design what they imagine now I'm not saying that learning coding languages isn't necessary because it is at least at a basic level to effectively communicate you ideas to you team but so is art, graphics, cinema, and writing these all are just as important to know as well and I feel like most people down play them to that I say who is anyone to say what we dream, imagine, or design too big or to unrealistic to even try to accomplish just because they don't know how to code or they have never made a game that's why we are here to help people in understanding what it take and is needed to make a game and for them to find the people or information they need to make what they want come to life I will however agree on two things 1. No one but you is ever going to make your game come to life even if you sell it to someone else it will not be yours and it will never be what you first dreamed of 2. Knloage is key at lease at a basic level of all parts of this industry but it is also key to know the people who can help you if you don't know how to code, draw, write, design, or create read. learn and try so you can understand it at a basic level and then find the person who knows it better this makes communicating you game to them much easer

[Theoretical] MMORPG Concept - the Gamemaster
Recoilthreat replied to JQP's topic in Game Design and Theorythats where the level system could be used for the gm players the higher the gm level the more power he/she would have to set up a campain so the people who would abuse wouldnt get very far if they got a bad rep for the campains they run for example a lvl 2 gm would have very limited power to use against other players and it would be obvious to the players so they quit the campain and the gm would no xp for the whole setting they set up that alone would be enough to deture most people to do such things
thanks for the link theres alot of great info there. and thanks for answering my question

Recoilthreat commented on Madhed's blog entry in Madhed's Blogthe game was fun and simple the are was nicely done for just a small scale game my only question is why did things other that the hull fo the ship have hp?
Whats a good game to start with
Recoilthreat replied to Donal Byrne's topic in For Beginners's ForumYou misunderstand the current situation. There are many games written in Java, Minecraft is one recent example. And let's not forget that Android is Java based; hundreds of thousands of Android games tend to be a counterexample to your claim. Java is alive and well. If you don't get a job as a game programmer you can still get a job in an enterprise work environment where Java is very strong.

How to reinvigorate a team?
Recoilthreat replied to viptampa's topic in Production and Managementon another note if you are able to get the agreement seeing how you teams local is around the globe and not in a office it's going to be hard to get team moral up unless you 1. Can get all people in on the project together (Skype, vent, team speak) and have a group sit down and recollaborate the project to get everyone excited and a vested interest again. 2. Find the most influential person on the team (the social butterfly of your team) and sit and talk about the project in every positive way you can get excited about it from there he should go and spread the word and it should get moral up again although that is the slow way. 3. show and tell- have all the members of your team show what they have been doing and have them explain what and why praise for high level progress or effort this will appeal to peoples competitive side but on a caution note if not handled right it could also blow up really really badly so handle it with care the mini version of this would be having them post their work for the team to follow ( website, YouTube, wiki) it's a more passive way to do it but it's really effective to have that way everyone can follow and start seeing the whole picture instead of just there part
Stacked spaceships and shields
Recoilthreat replied to Acharis's topic in Game Design and Theoryoff the top of my head turn the shield value in to percentages example enemy ship has 100 hp and 100% shields you fire for 50 damage enemy ship now has 100 hp and 50% shields you fire again for 50 enemy ship now has 75 life and 0% shields ect.. have the shields have a time regeneration period where so much of the percentage comes back ( which also opens a feature for customizing ships if you wanted)
so out of question would a standard non disclosure form not work and if not why?
A Nameless Dread - Naming a Character in an MMO
Recoilthreat replied to Humble Hobo's topic in Game Design and TheoryMy feeling towards names in any type of game is depending on what type of game it is. Doing some observation on different games fps vs. RPG or rts most people will try to make names that are relevant to the lore in rpgs where as in fps they will choose a name that will make them stand out when they make a kill or an intimidating name in rts. So in the case of having a game where the player gets added into the lore and if it is know ahead of time you're going to have a fair amount of players that will make a name to fit the lore but for the other side you will have trolls trying to rip people out of the lore With that in mind I would say a good set of rules would be aimed at charters. Lettering and numbering in any consecutive manner and no special char like !@@#$+_() and as servant of the lord had mentioned above with the capitals. Pretty much looking at what most griefers put as names you can limit right off the bat. Past that have the names show up in lore would be the best way for any moderator to black list them.
[Theoretical] MMORPG Concept - the Gamemaster
Recoilthreat replied to JQP's topic in Game Design and TheoryFrom what I understand from you idea is that you have a player that is a dm and then other players are the char in his/her campaign? if so I believe vampire the masquerade the old java based game had something similar for online/lan play also never winter nights also has that set up where someone crates a game and its set up and has players go thru and play it the two ways I can see rewarding the gm is a players rating of set campaign or a set time to death ratio the longer the players services the more xp the gm would get though bout could be abused On the other end the reward for gm player could be access to more resources, higher level dev (where higher level char can play) and of course reputation that's what I would think off the top of my head side noite from what i have been reading for the neverwinter night online i belive there are adding something along that line as well

It seems others have gotten involved in discussing Popular Culture and its workings in the art world. I saw this article on Art Info and this article on Edward Winkleman's blog. We have already touched on some of these ideas in our post entitled the Hero Myth. We briefly discussed the way artists can be and have been marketed. We pointed out the similarities between the way Hollywood markets their heroes and how the art world follows suit. Linda Yablonsky's piece has some interesting insider takes on the star system and Edward's post is interesting because of the comments left by other artists. A while back I read a fascinating book by Robert Greene called the "Art of Seduction." The book is a history of, well basically, publicity – how one builds a reputation and how one might capitalize on one's own personality.
Today we have reached the ultimate point in the evolution of seduction. Now more than ever, force or brutality of any kind is discouraged. All areas of social life require the ability to persuade people in a way that does not offend or impose itself. Forms of seduction can be found everywhere, blending male and female strategies. Advertisements insinuate, the soft sell dominates. If we are to change people's opinions-and affecting opinion is basic to seduction-we must act in subtle, subliminal ways. Today no political campaign can work without seduction. Since the era of John F. Kennedy, political figures are required to have a degree of charisma, a fascinating presence, or they will lose their audience's attention, which is half the battle. The film world and media create a galaxy of seductive stars and images. We are saturated in the seductive. But even if much has changed in degree and scope, the essence of seduction is constant: never be forceful or direct; instead, use pleasure as bait, playing on people's emotions, stirring desire and confusion, inducing psychological surrender. In seduction as it is practiced today, the methods of Cleopatra still hold.
The book makes clear that for EVERY personality there are ways to seduce and problems that must be overcome. As an example – here is a summary of a chapter that has probably been memorized by every ambitious gallerist with an eye on the Gagosian prize:
The less you seem to be selling something-including yourself-the better. By being too obvious in your pitch, you will raise suspicion; you will also bore your audience, an unforgivable sin. Instead, make your approach soft, seductive and insidious. Soft: be indirect. Create news and events for the media to pick up, spreading your name in a way that seems spontaneous, not hard or calculated. Seductive: keep it entertaining. Your name and image are bathed in positive associations; you are selling pleasure and promise. Insidious: aim at the unconscious, using images that linger in the mind, placing your message in the visuals. Frame what you are selling as part of a new trend, and it will become one. It is almost impossible to resist the soft seduction.
These techniques have been and continue to be at play in the art world 24/7. One can still see them hard at work even as the art economy dries up. Maybe we'll begin to see a new more earnest type of artist rather than the POMO dandies or maybe a return to primary archetypes – the toothless, earless, syphilitic crazy. Whatever it is you can be sure that it will be packaged, promoted and promulgated according to the rules of the new electronic media world we live in! First the bits of flash in the fashion mags, followed by breathless reviews of shows, a well-placed media blurb by the gallerist or collector that confirms the quality of the work through its sale-ability, and finally, the one-on-one interview with the artist published in an upscale lifestyle magazine. We've seen it a million times and we'll see it a million more. The New New is always hard at work!

Over 2,300 Irish got in trouble abroad in 2015
Irish diplomats also provided much needed consular services to over 60,000 people and businesses, Ireland's Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan reveals
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade provided consular assistance to over 2,300 Irish citizens in 2015, including the practical support provided to the families of 263 people who died while abroad in 2015.
This assistance and support was provided by the Department's Consular Division in Dublin and its network of embassies and consulates around the world.
The dedicated staff team provide professional and compassionate help to thousands of people each year. Across the world, Ireland's diplomats stand ready to respond quickly and effectively to urgent consular cases and emergencies facing Irish citizens, often in difficult and challenging circumstances.
Demand for frontline services across the world increased significantly over the past year, as did the complexity of cases handled. Crises In terms of responding to major crises, 2015 saw an unprecedented level of action by Department staff, who assisted over 800 Irish citizens caught up in crises abroad.
The most serious tragedy occurred in Berkeley, where six students, five Irish and one Irish-American, lost their lives and seven Irish students were injured. We also witnessed the horrific loss of life in the terrorist attacks at Sousse, Tunisia, and injury in the later Paris atrocities. Natural disasters included the two earthquakes in Nepal."
"I urge Irish holidaymakers to check travel advice which is contained on my Department's website and which is regularly reviewed and updated. Ultimately, while my Department stands ready to assist those who require consular supports, it is the individual's responsibility to ensure that they are well prepared before they travel.
Last year we published specific travel guides to inform people ahead of major events and we will do so again this coming year, including for the European Championships in France and the Rio Olympics.
"I urge those travelling to take out appropriate travel insurance."
The Department's Consular Division and mission network also provides authentication services for educational certificates, legal documents and company documents. In 2015, a total of 54,982 authentications were provided.
Securing business Many of these authentications were required by companies in order to secure business and commercial transactions abroad.
As part of our ongoing commitment to facilitating and supporting Irish business, the Department continues to offer a same day service for over 90 per cent of authentication requests."
The Department registered 5,826 people for Irish citizenship through Foreign Births Registration in 2015. The majority of these applications are received through Embassies and Consulates in the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada and South Africa, reflecting the large Irish communities living in these areas.
During 2015, the Department also issued 2,835 Certificats de Coutume (civil letters of freedom) to Irish citizens getting married or entering civil partnerships abroad, with the five most popular countries being Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta, and Germany.
Minister Flanagan also took the opportunity to thank the network of Honorary Consulates around the world: We are extremely grateful for the efforts of our network of 95 Honorary Consulates in 58 countries in assisting Irish citizens visiting or living in their area.
Our Honorary Consulates augment the work of our missions abroad by providing many vital services to Irish citizens.

ESAT Telecommunications designed and constructed a new Internet Gateway facility in Dublin, Ireland. The critical facility had to be fault tolerant. This raised the possibility that extensive rotary and motor generator electrical power back up equipment would emit levels of magnetic fields sufficient to cause interference with critical computer equipment located in the adjacent Network Operations Center (NOC).
ESAT subsequently commissioned FMS to conduct an extensive assessment of the building's electrical facilities for potential interference concerns, since Information Technology (IT) equipment planned for installation in the NOC, had to meet European Union mandatory immunity levels of 1 A/m (12.6 mG) to comply with an EMC Directive. Magnetic field emission measurements documented at a site with equipment similar to electrical facilities planned for the ESAT building and computer simulations, predicted levels in areas of the NOC room would exceed 100 mG. ESAT requested that FMS develop and implement measures to mitigate the elevated magnetic fields and consequent interference conditions in the NOC, to within EU standards.
To ensure electromagnetic compatibility in the environment with the EU telecommunications equipment specifications, FMS designed and installed a magnetic field shielding system to accomplish reductions of predicted elevated magnetic field levels in the NOC room, to less than 5 mG.
Over its 20 years, FMS has successfully completed hundreds of EMI projects which included a diverse range of consulting and mitigation services.Take a look at a list of the markets we serve »

Andrew Grant White Cover Letter to PM David Cameron
Team Reunite Mark and Edward
Dear Prime Minister David Cameron,
My name is Andrew White of the United States of America and I am but one of the administration team to reunite Mark and Edward.
I am writing to request your vital leadership on a cause most worthy.
By profession, I am a hedge fund manager, former Vice Chairman of US Republican Party in UK and 2014 candidate for Governor of Connecticut. I am also one of Mark Heslehurst's longest-standing supporters to reunite him with his son and end decade-long injustice. I am far from alone (e.g. see Administrator page and 20,000 petition supporters).
The attached petition of 20,000 people is about 48% UK and 48% USA.
Each individual listed has chosen to be active in the group - professionals, politicians, lawyers, journalists, businessmen/women, and regular parents with passion for Mark's quest.
As they continue to write letters, telephone and circulate to create awareness, I write today to request you too add your important voice and influence to end this tragedy and Mark's 3-year separation from his son:
The history, evidence and real-time reality are sadly yet undeniably indisputable: please visit www.EdwardMySon.com and http://Biomerieux.wordpress.com for detail of his family's destruction and separation at the hands of French healthcare company, BioMerieux.
Indeed, separation AND reunification are integrally bound as one issue. There is no solution without the involvement of Biomerieux which can reunite Mark and his son and indeed give Dominique/family deserved security.
Mark's quest is NOT about revenge. It is one of love, for which now only BioMerieux – which has admitted culpability – can resolve. Mark's fight for family is truly epic, growing from one father 3 years to worldwide support today. He has travelled the world in hazardous conditions, bearing no malice and asking for nothing but reunion; BioMerieux ignored him at best; at worst...? Mark now has loyalty and respect rarely witnessed today, thousands of his own countrymen and from America.
Mark has grown from a simple man from Middlesbrough to well represent all that is loved by Americans about the British character: honour, stoic attitude, determination and standing up yet again. However, he is now tired - exhausted - and he needs your involvement. Mark will shortly return to the UK to protest outside Biomerieux UK HQ in Hampshire. Many will stand with him including UK journalists and will be regularly covered by USA radio and print media.
With the greatest respect, we request you do following to finally end this tragedy:
• Speak in Parliament to give support to Mark and son in this struggle.
• Contact major media to create nationwide awareness to Mark's plight, as well as draw attention to government agencies (e.g. NHS) who are a large client of BioMerieux.
• Stand with Mark at pending peaceful protest at BioMerieux UK HQ in Hampshire.
20,000 supporters will also ensure explosion of world-wide awareness of French BioMerieux' mendacity (e.g. petition delivery and NHS boycott BioMerieux petition). In a world of hidden agenda and apathy, something special is happening.
A tested father, Mark is without fear and fights only for love for his son. But the clock is ticking; Mark cannot keep up his fight forever. Something must soon break, for if he loses we will all lose.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kind regards,
Team Reunite Mark and Edward

Grateful For Any Mercies At All , However Small
The weeks trickle by . It's February , when every day seems to last thirtysix hours and all desire for hearty soup has waned , everything is brown and I can't imagine ever taking off my polo neck jumpers again ... do they make polo neck nighties ?
Still , there is some consolation in the fact that almost anything at all can cheer one up instantly . As I came home the other day in the drizzle , a shambling , redfaced drunk bellowed a compliment after me , "Woahhh ! Lekkerrrrrrrrrrrr ding !! " and then fell flat in a heap , burbling appreciatively , making me grin all the way home .
I survived a talk about town development in Leeuwarden , while sitting behind a middle-aged man who seemed to subscribe to the theory that baldness could be staved off by vigorous and constant scalp massage .... and was rewarded by a short video about local events in the '50s . The clothes ! The hats !
I had lunch with two dear friends who always amuse and can window shop to perfection .
It snowed and I've got a photo to prove it , though it was shortlived and no one needed these .
Celebrity Bake Off has begun and , last night , Joanna Lumley was at her giraffe-like best .
I seem to be able to do press ups , much to my astonishment ( and no small pride ) .
And best of all , I bought and used a C.D. player cleaning disc and Lorraine Hunt is restored to her full glory this afternoon .

Perhaps that's what I need to lift my February blues, then. A drunk calling me "Yummy" in slurred Dutch! 'cause honestly, I read your whole post, and there are all sorts of happy-making things in it, but that's the image that really sticks. Although the push-ups are impressive as well. Go you! ;-)

What services do we provide?
- Concept & scriptwriting
We work with you to develop a creative treatment and script for your tv commercial, which express your company's personality, and engage your audiences with your products and services.
- Production & post production
We take care of all aspects of pre-production (including actors, locations, props and costumes), production (we provide an onsite director, producer and crew), and post production (editing, sound mixing, music licenses).
- Animation
Many TVCs require high quality animation and motion graphics, to compliment the video, and convey the details of what you are advertising. Our animation team can design eye-catching visual elements that will seamlessly integrate with the video to maximum effect.

TV networks have many technical broadcast specifications that TV commercials need to adhere to – including video codecs, audio mastering, and pre and post roll elements. We take care of all of this and provide compliant outputs that will look great on TV.
- CAD Classification
CAD provides classification and information services to advertisers, agencies and production houses in relation to television commercials and infomercials. All television commercials and infomercials must be classified before they can be broadcast in Australia. Classification requirements include clarification of terms and conditions, documents substantiating claims and promising of the add, and detailed storyboards. We will manage this and ensure that your TVC is delivered to the distribution house on schedule.
- Distribution via Adstream
We can also manage the distribution of your TVCs to metropolitan and regional Australian television stations, through advertising platform Adstream. This will ensure that your commercial is aired in your chosen areas and time slots.

I am extremely fortunate to be able to travel to China a few times a year for work. Last month was my first time there, and it was mind blowing and amazing and life altering. Honestly, nothing gives my perspective a workout like traveling. Even though it was a work trip, so much of it felt like what I like to do when visiting a new place: experience it to the fullest.
I drew a lot. I'm only posting a few things here. These are pretty minimal and rough as it is--most of the drawings I made were like that. Car time was drawing time, and the rest was doing things--work, meals, visiting places and meeting so many people.
The region of China we visited is tropical, which is also completely new to me. I think in future visits, if there's time, I wouldn't mind drawing some of the flora there. I loved the hills. There would be miles and miles (kilometers) of tall buildings, and in the distance, green lumps rising out of the buildings. On these grew the tropical plants and trees.
The last day our company spent in China, we went to Hong Kong, which was INCREDIBLE. I hope to visit there again on future trips. I'd love to document that experience more. In the meantime, I'm taking a short class in Mandarin, and gearing up for the next trip!

Huthi Singh's Tomb [sic for Temple], Ahmedabad
Photographer: Bourne and Shepherd
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1875
Photograph from the Macnabb Collection of the Temple of Hathi Singh at Ahmadabad in Gujarat, India, taken by Bourne & Shepherd during the 1870s. Ahmadabad is the principal city of Gujarat in western India. The architecture of the city includes interesting examples of a provincial style which flourished in Gujarat from the mid-15th century; elaborate stone and wood carving being an important aspect of this style. The Temple of Hathi Singh was built in 1848 and is the most ornate Jain sanctuary in Ahmadabad. It is constructed in white marble and decorated with intricate carvings with sculpted figures appearing in the brackets. This is a view of the entrance to the temple from the rectangular court in which it stands. It has three sanctuaries, each housing an image of Dharmanatha, the 15th Jain Tirthankara or Saint, to whom the temple is dedicated.

Halak, Blues shut out Wild; Steen scores twiceby Louie Korac
ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues offense had things going early, then turned to their goalie to finish off another victory.
Jaroslav Halak didn't have much work early, but the Blues goaltender saved his best for last, turning aside all 22 shots he saw in a 3-0 victory against the Minnesota Wild on Monday night.
It was Halak's 27th career shutout, a franchise-record 18th as a member of the Blues and his second this season.
Halak, who is 13-3-2 with a 2.21 goals-against average and .911 save percentage, was busiest in the third period when Minnesota outshot the Blues 12-1. He turned aside a couple of high-percentage looks the final period.
"The first two periods, it was no shots again, no action for me, just a couple shots," Halak said. "I just needed to stay focused tonight. It wasn't easy, but going into the third and having the lead, that's what we wanted."
Wild forward Zach Parise missed most of the second period and all of the third after blocking an Alexander Steen shot in the first period. The team described his injury as day-to-day.
"We'll find out more tomorrow," Parise said.
Steen's 18th and 19th goals pulled him within one of the Washington Capitals' Alex Ovechkin for the NHL lead, and Vladimir Sobotka scored his second in as many games.
The Blues are now a League-best plus-32 in goal differential.
"I just thought our 5-on-5 play was really good today," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "I thought this was one of the best games we've played 5-on-5 for a long time. I thought any of the scoring chances they got were on the power play. I thought 5-on-5, we really competed, and I thought we created a lot of pressure and presence, especially in the first two periods."
Minnesota thought it had a 1-0 lead 30 seconds into the game when Parise tipped Ryan Suter's shot from the left point past Halak. But the goal was immediately waved off, the call being that Parise's stick was above the crossbar, and after a lengthy review, it was determined video was inconclusive.
"To me, it was clear it was a good goal," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "The call on the ice impacts it. Fair to say we came unraveled for a few minutes after that. It was a big moment in the game.
"It's bad enough we should be up 1-0 and now all of a sudden we're down 1-0. But we still had plenty of game in front of us and not going to make excuses, but it was very disappointing."
Added Halak: "It was luck on our side tonight, on my side. If it was probably a little bit lower, it would be a goal. Giving up a goal from the first shot, that's not how we want to start a game. I'm glad it was no goal, and after that, we kept playing. It didn't bother us."
Taking advantage of the review ruling going in their favor, the Blues jumped out a 1-0 lead on Sobotka's goal 50 seconds later.
Sobotka collected the rebound off Carlo Colaiacovo's shot from inside the blue line and beat Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom.
"I'm just trying to get my speed and go to the net," Sobotka said. "It was a good shot by Carlo and I just found the puck in front of the net and I put it in."
It was Colaiacovo's first point in his first shift since signing with St. Louis as a free agent Nov. 12. He played since defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk was out with the flu.
The Blues were doing a solid job getting shots from the point and putting bodies in front of Backstrom early in the game, and Steen benefited with his first goal in five games when he took in Jay Bouwmeester's shot from the left point and beat Backstrom with a backhand upstairs at 13:38 of the first period. Steen's first goal gave the Blues a 2-0 lead.
After a 13-game point streak, Steen had only one assist in the past four games.
"Our D did a good job of getting pucks through," Steen said. "The first two (goals) were a result of that."
The middle period saw no scoring, but Halak made a key point-blank stop on Zenon Konopka with 1:49 left off a rebound at the top of the crease, and the Blues' Jaden Schwartz -- off a 3-on-2 rush -- rang a shot off the left post with 15 seconds remaining.
Chris Stewart had a big chance to extend the Blues' 2-0 lead 2:15 into the third period, but he pushed his backhand breakaway high and wide.
Steen's empty-netter with 1:22 remaining sealed the Blues' victory. It moved him within two points of Sidney Crosby for the overall League-lead in points. It was St. Louis' only shot of the third period after the Wild applied ample amount of pressure.
"We got behind the eight-ball and it's tough to come back in this league," Wild forward Jason Pominville said. "They're a tough team to play against anyway, but when they get the lead, it makes it even tougher."
The Blues kept their franchise-best start to a season going, improving to 17-3-3. They are 11-1-2 on home ice, and they're 9-1-1 in their past 11 games and 12-2-1 in the past 15.
The Blues have won six in a row against the Wild, outscoring Minnesota 19-7 over that span. They are 8-0-3 in the past 11 against Minnesota at Scottrade Center, dating back to the Wild's most-recent regulation win there Oct. 20, 2007.
Backstrom stopped 18 shots for the Wild, who were shut out for the first time this season. Minnesota (15-6-4) came in 6-1-0 in its past seven and 9-1-1 in November.
"When you can roll four lines and six defensemen in this League, it makes yourself a very tough team to play against," Colaiacovo said. "I believe that's what we are. We've just got to keep it going."

It's been said before that great leaders often learn to become great listeners, and Malaysian businessman Vijay Eswaran has certainly taken that to heart. Eswaran certainly has a lot to talk about having built a company worth billions at QI Group, and he's won several business awards and accolades. Learn more about Vijay Eswaran: https://twitter.com/vjayeswaran?lang=en
But one man he's found a lot of inspiration from is Mahatma Gandhi, the man who led civil rights and independence to India through non-violent means. Eswaran embraces Gandhi's teachings of listening rather than speaking and placing principles and ethics in front of doing anything to make a profit. He's spoken at the World Economic Forum and is a member of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas.
Vijay Eswaran grew up in Malaysia and traveled the country frequently as a young man due to his father's government job.
He completed his degree in 1984 but spent some time performing manual labor in order to make a living. He did finally make it to grad school at Southern Illinois University where he got his MBA, and he started out working for several IT companies.
Eswaran developed a keen interest in multilevel marketing and direct selling, the business model that became the cornerstone for his company. He spent several years with The Cosway Group upon returning to Malaysia, and then started QI Group Ltd. in 1998.
Under QI Group he helped establish QNet, a direct selling company that distributes organic foods, health supplies, personal beauty products, jewelry and vacation packages. He also founded Quex Courier, a logistics operation branch, QI Asset Management, and Quest International University Perak in association with QI Group's The V program.
Awards and recognitions that Vijay Eswaran has won include Forbes Asia's Heroes of Philanthropy in 2011, and the New Global Indian business and philanthropy award in 2012.
He's also the founder of QI Group's philanthropy branch, RHYTHM Foundation and his own charity at Vijayratnam Foundation. He's the author of the 2005 bestseller In The Sphere of Silence and 2008's In The Thinking Zone.

The majority of people are uninformed that consistent clothes dryer and dryer vent cleaning service is needed to keep the dryer working safely and to defend against dryer fires. Moreover, annual upkeep will save energy and affiliated expenses.
Once a client discovers their dryer requires several cycles to dry each load or if it keeps turning off during a cycle, the cause is probably lint collection in the vent line, causing the dryer to work inefficiently or not at all. Frequently arranged dryer vent cleaning can easily result in decreased energy expenses. Good upkeep will help avert straining the dryer with increased drying time. Furthermore, clothing doesn't wear out as quickly if they do not need to go through many cycles.

Xavier Blanc started to work on Software Engineering in 2002 when he joined the Pierre et Marie Curie University. At that time, he participated to the Modelware project and contributed to the definition of ModelBus that was a middleware fitted to model interoperability. Next, he participated to the Modelplex project where he focused on collaborative model editing. He contributed to the definition of Praxis that is a solution for dealing with model consistency. Currently, he participated to the Movida and the Galaxy project that address respectively mutli-view modeling and distributed collaborative model editing. In september 2010, he moved to University Bordeaux 1 (France) where he is doing research on the model development life cycle at the at the Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique (LaBRI).
Abstract of talk. Practical Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDE) requires effective support for the collaborative, incremental construction and revision of large models over long life cycles. In code-driven software engineering, such support is provided by version control systems (e.g., subversion, git, ...), all of which operate on text files. This support is adequate because programming languages provide a fixed, built-in scheme to fragment the whole source code into folders and files. In contrast, software modeling languages do not typically define any fragmentation scheme that specifies how to store the model elements and references that compose the model onto persistent artifacts. In fact, state-of-the-art modeling tools persistently store the entire model of an MDE project into a single file that follows either a proprietary file format or the verbose XMI standard. The trivial approach to provide version control for models is to interface a modeling tool with a text-based version control tool. This does not scale up because all modelers must at all time concurrently modify the same single versioned file storing the whole model. This talk presents our work in the Galaxy Project that aims at defining scalable version control for software models.Back to main page of EvolUMons 2011

Seamer's Dan Bird claimed three wins, and the lead in his class, on his motor racing debut at Cadwell Park.
Thirty-three-year-old Bird, who works as a childcare officer, competed as a trials rider for 20 years, but injury forced him to retire eight years ago.
The rider said: "Racing is something I always wanted to do and after a long spell away from trials biking I thought now was the time to give it a go.
"I was competing in the Auto 66 Club Northern Clubman Championship and in my opening race I was doing well, competing for the lead when my battery failed and I had to retire.
"After that I went on to win my remaining three races, to take the lead in the lightweight class. I was chuffed to bits to make such a great start.
"My main aim was to try and force my way into a podium finish in one of the races so I was over the moon to win three and take the lead in my class."
Bird, who was riding a VFR 400 NC30, added: "I started as a trials rider when I was only five years old and took part in lots of events, including the British Championships, until injury forced me to quit around eight years ago."
The Seamer rider will be aiming to continue his fine form when the championship resumes at Cadwell Park next month.
Bird added: "If there are any local businesses or individuals who could help me with any sponsorship for the season they can call me on 07792440986."

"Child's play."
That's what guest judge Nigella Lawson called panna cotta on Wednesday night's episode of "Top Chef: Las Vegas" right before sending Robin home for flubbing her version of the Italian dessert.
I'd reserve "child's play" for plates like mac and cheese and scrambled eggs, but then again, I'm not a British cookbook author with my own line of curvaceous kitchenware, and Robin, I suppose, is not a "Top Chef"-obsessed journalist who considers following a recipe with favorable results a major victory.
Regardless, a cheer went up at the Freakin' Frog (where local media dynamo Steve Friess and I were hosting a "Top Chef" watch party) when the matronly chef was told to pack her knives and go.
With Robin out of the running, I'd like to say that things are finally getting serious, but Robin had long shown herself to not be a threat, and things got serious weeks ago.
This week's episode started with the chefs "deep in the catacombs of the Venetian," as Eli explained. I've never been to this mythical place, but I imagine it to be mazelike and full of people in patterned vests.
Of course, the chef'testants weren't there to find the path to Oz or learn to deal pai gow. A kitchen phone rang, and there was Padma on the other end, still in bed and getting a bit hungry.
Room service is not something I have a lot of experience with. Every time a late night craving tempts me to order something via cart, a quick glance at the delivery menu assures me it's not a good idea. I can get a pizza delivered for free from miles away, but sending a cheeseburger up the elevator comes with an insane markup.
Padma, on the other hand, likes her breakfast in bed. She can't even bother to get up and open the door. Just cart it right on over, and mind the bathrobe, would ya?
Joining Padma for the eggs and bacon marathon was Nigella Lawson. In a pair of beds and robes, the two gorgeous foodies chowed through steak and eggs, blintzes, a benedict, something with rice and what Jennifer called S.O.S. or "expletive on a shingle." Yum?
I adore breakfast, but none of these maybe me want to set my alarm clock. Eli's corned beef Reuben benedict took the win for being, as Nigella called it, a great "hangover breakfast." But even that didn't quite hit the mark for me as far as morning fare. In fact, I feel slightly hungover just thinking about it.
For elimination this week, the final six were presented with a seemingly inevitable challenge: creating food inspired by Strip resorts.
Assigned to all MGM/Mirage properties, the chefs were presented with somewhat different tasks depending on the resort name taped to their chosen blade. Some had more obviously theme-y cuisine, like Eli, who wandered around Circus Circus in search of an actual circus that he never found. Others could pick an inspirational aspect of a property more tailored to what they felt like cooking, like Bryan's sustainable halibut with bouillabaisse consommé based on the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. Sprinkled throughout this episode were plenty of gratuitous shots of MGM/Mirage attractions – the Chihuly ceiling and Bellagio fountains, the Tournament of Kings at Excalibur, the Mirage's dolphins, you get the idea.
When the chefs actually served their dishes to the judges and 175 lucky Las Vegans (including our own Melissa Arseniuk), the results weren't entirely inspired. Eli's Circus-Circus-style peanut and apple soup topped with popcorn went down grainy and odd, perhaps a bit too true to the resort it was based on.
Jennifer's "Sword and the Stone"/Excalibur reference of New York strip steak with a red wine sauce, was a tad too stony for Nigella, who worked at it with obvious annoyance. "More 'Spamalot' than Camelot," Toby offered. A rhyme that stays on theme? Goodie!
And then there was Robin's panna cotta, an effort to bring art back into her cooking with a sugar "stained glass" homage to Chihuly. Unfortunately, the sugar never quite got glassy enough, and the most relevant item was left off the plate. What she did serve was too stiff, or, as Nigella complained, it didn't jiggle like a "courtesan's inner thigh." More jiggle, I say!
On the upper end were the three current favorites for the "Top Chef: Las Vegas" win – Kevin and Michael and Bryan Voltaggio. Kevin's cured salmon with veggie slaw was, as always, a crowd pleaser, while Bryan's dish was described as "balanced" and "elegant." Stealing the show, however, was Michael's reinvented boneless chicken wing with frozen blue cheese reference to New York-New York. Toby called his cooking "effeminate," which, ya know, when I see chicken wings is exactly what I think, too. Michael said something about his personality showing up on the plate.
Perhaps, Robin's most relatable moment of her entire run was her teary-eyed goodbye. The clearly passionate chef gave her leave with handshakes (for the judges), hugs (for her competitors) and thankful words (for the cameras). After awaiting her demise for weeks, I can't say I'm sad to see her go, but I do very much wish her well.
