Caraway cake with orange and maple butter cream is absolutely delicious and worth getting that baking equipment out from the cupboard! I've never really known all that much about caraway seeds apart from them being incredibly similar to fennel and slightly aniseedy/citrussy in flavour. I once had caraway in a bread and remember it really hitting my taste buds but apart from that, I haven't ever cooked with them and rarely eaten them in something – until now (and they are ridiculously yum) and works so well when combined with lemon and orange, especially when you combine with buttercream. Caraway, although always noted as a seed is actually a very small fruit (believe it or not and technically, not a seed) and they are also known as a meridian fennel or a Persian cumin and are often used in Indian cooking.
They are strong in flavour and very savoury and so cut wonderfully within a sweet cake, especially one with lemon and orange in the base which balances the flavour. So, this version is eggless (because I ran out of eggs – whoops) and in order to get the 'rise'; I used wheat flour with bicarb, milk and butter. This cake is ridiculously easy to make vegan, just leave out the egg, replace the milk and butter with vegan alternatives and use a vegan alternative for the buttercream.
The best vegan alternatives, I think are Earth Balance which can be found here. So creamy and versatile. For the milk, I love almond milk. It's so versatile and is one of the most popular dairy-free options. I use Rude Health Almond Milk when cooking which is utterly delicious and completely organic.
Overall though, this cake is absolutely perfect for the autumnal nights in where all you want is a cup of tea and a slice of delicious cake!
- 200g organic wheat flour
- 125g caster sugar (golden)
- ½ tsp bicarb
- 2 tbsp caraway seed
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- 120g butter (slightly salted)
- 200ml milk
- 2-3lb bread loaf tin (lined)
Butter Cream/ Decor Ingredients
- 1 orange, zested
- 1 half orange juice
- 110g butter, softened
- 440g icing sugar
- 2 tsp dark maple syrup
- Handful of mixed seeds & nuts (optional)
- Sprinkle of rose petals (optional)
- Preheat your oven to Gas Mark 4 or 180C
- In a bowl mix your flour with bicarb along with your caraway seeds.
- In a saucepan heat up your milk and butter until just warm. Do not boil or allow to froth.
- Juice your lemon and mix into your dry ingredients before pouring in your milk and butter. Using a whisk, mix together until a slight dough is formed.
- Pour your mix into a lined loaf tin and bake in the middle of your oven. I baked for 40-45 minutes but always before by using a kebab stick or a knife to make sure there isn't any batter left on the knife/stick. If it comes out clean, it's ready.
- Leave to cool.
- In a separate bowl, cream together your butter, grated orange, orange juice and maple syrup and gradually add the icing sugar until your butter cream becomes light and fluffy then pop in the fridge until ready to decorate.
- Once cooled, place the butter cream on the cake (don't be delicate here, layer it on creating fluffy peaks where possible) then sprinkle with wild seeds, nuts and rose petals for decoration.

Please Pass the Planned Poverty
Al Benson Jr. takes note of The Kennedy Twins' Latest book, PUNISHED WITH POVERTY on his blog REVISED HISTORY:
How many folks chanced to drive through parts of the South in the 1950s, 60s and even in the early 70s and noted how poor the country seemed to be compared with other areas of the United States? Many probably wondered why the South couldn't seem t do better that it was doing. To say that the South, in our lifetime, was and is the poorest part of the country, with the possible exception of Indian reservations, is no exaggeration. And yet, knowing some of the reasons for that and the history behind it, my wife and I, now living in Louisiana, would not willingly go back north to live. The South is home, and we have been more content here than just about any other place we've lived, for several reasons.
There are reasons for the poverty in much of the South and for the poor whites and blacks that live in it, and in many cases the poverty is not their fault. It was intended for them to live that way by those that sought to conquer them during and after the War of Northern Aggression and by the descendants of those conquerors who, even today, enjoy rubbing their faces in the planned poverty that is supposed to be their due because their ancestors had the temerity to stand up and "dare defend their rights." Such is not to be tolerated in the cultural Marxist milieu...

I bought two wine boxes several months ago, not really sure at the time what I would do with them. I finally decided to attempt a diy wine crate lamp. And I ended up making an inside out lampshade to go with it.
I chose wine boxes with interesting graphics.
For this one, I used the same gray and turquoise wash technique that I used on Richard's pallet end table. I applied a couple of coats of Minwax wipe on poly to protect the finish.
Richard says I always do things backwards. I should have drilled holes for the lamp first. But no paint was harmed in the drilling, so there. 🙂 I drilled a hole in the center top and in a scrap of 2 x 4 that will be attached to the inside of the wine crate. I needed extra thickness of wood to support the lamp rod to make it more stable. I also drilled a hole in the back, near the bottom, for the cord to go out the back.
I used parts from a lamp that I bought at a thrift store just for this purpose. It isn't an old lamp, just ugly, so the cord and socket are fine. I did need to buy a threaded rod to feed the cord through, though. The one that came with the lamp was the wrong length.
I held the shade at the height I wanted and Richard measured the length needed, allowing for the thickness of the 2 x 4 that would be attached.
After cutting the threaded pipe, he attached it to the box and 2 x 4 with a washer and hex nut.
I didn't want the threaded pipe to be visible on the outside, so I decided to use a piece of galvanized pipe to slip over the rod. Richard attached the base of the socket and the harp base to the rod, then measured the distance from the bottom of the assembly to the top of the box. (A hex nut holds these parts in place on the rod.)
He cut the galvanized pipe to length, then realized that he forgot to account for the little decorative piece (also scavenged from the thrifted lamp) that transitions from the pipe to the box. Oops! Tired of cutting with the hack saw, he broke out the Ryobi reciprocating saw. Wow, much faster.
Once we knew everything was straight and looked good, I loosened the nut inside the box and applied a couple of globs of Liquid Nails to the backside of the 2 x 4, then tightened the nut back on. Not really necessary, but just an extra step to keep it stable.
Ok, time to thread the electric cord through the back of the box and up the pipe. When I was disassembling the old lamp, I didn't mark which wire was attached to which screw on the socket.
Label your wires and the corresponding screw with masking tape, so you'll know which wire goes where.
Since I didn't do this, Richard had to bring out his voltage meter to determine which wire was hot and which was neutral. I have no idea how to use the meter, so make your life easier and follow the tip instead. FYI, the narrow prong is hot; the wide prong is neutral.
Once the wires are attached to the correct screws, the socket can be popped into the socket base. Screw in a light bulb, plug in the cord, and stand back. Yay, no sparks!
Make an Inside Out Lampshade
Another thrift store purchase to the rescue. This lampshade was ooogly, so I ripped off the vinyl faux leather. When I realized the liner was in good shape and seemed to be staying in place, I thought, "Hmm, I kind of like the deconstructed look."
There was still a bit too much glare through the thin liner, though, so I added a strip of burlap behind the wire frame, about midway around the shade. I pinched it together in every other section, attaching with hot glue. I also used strips of burlap at the top and bottom to finish off the edges.
Richard doesn't like the shade, and I'm not sure I am totally sold on it.
I think I need to paint the little black transition piece- maybe gray to blend with the pipe?
What do you think? Start over with the lampshade? Have you ever made a lamp?

We also stock old-time favourites such as The Killing of Sister George (1968), one of the greatest and most grotesque of all lesbian crossover films as well as Another Way (1982), a courageous love story between two pro-democracy journalists. For more LGBT films, take a look below…
It's tricky to know exactly when the world announced the first openly gay or lesbian film. When 1967 rolled around, homosexuality was legalised whilst in the USA, the Stonewall riots in 1969 were a defining moment that brought about the start of the modern lesbian and gay liberation movement.
So, which films are renowned for their spin on lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans experiences?

And which purely need to be watched, time and time again? Check out our must-watch lesbian and gay films. Although you can't watch any of our gay films online, you can rent them on DVD or Blu-Ray.
Want to immerse yourself in the best gay movies of all time? The last few years have seen a boon in LGBT cinema and good gay-themed films. Check out our lists below…
And now for our list of top LGBT movies.

2608 W Master St Philadelphia, PA - Brewerytown
The southeast corner of the Athletic Square Park is controlled by a traffic light at 26th and Master Streets. Given this traffic light, as well as another light at 25th St, motorists have approximately a 1/4 mile of unencumbered streets when the lights are green to increase their speeds to unsafe levels. Therefore, vehicles regularly approach speeds of 40-45mph at the entrance to the park and pool.
Residents support a study to be performed by the Streets department to assess traffic calming measures. One solution proposed at this intersection is a stop sign to ensure that all traffic must come to a stop before proceeding. We appreciate the Street Department's involvement to ensure that the children and adults who frequent the park are not put at an unnecessary risk as they enter and exit this popular park.

CoasterVille is Zynga's newest "Ville" title
Zynga today announced the launch of its newest "Ville" title, CoasterVille.
The game is a theme park management sim, which is a new direction for the "Ville" franchise. Players are given a small fairground and tasked with building the world's greatest theme park complete with themed lands, shops and rides. CoasterVille was developed by Zynga's Los Angeles office, which previously developed Empires & Allies for mid-core audiences.
Zynga Los Angeles General Manager Amir Rahimi tells us games industry veterans comprise the development team and, "the core group of us grew up with theme park building games. We thought we could adapt them into a really fun way for the social gaming space."
Like the other "Ville" titles, the game is based on laying out and managing a community. Users place different types of structures around their property, and the layout plays a large part in how successful the park is. Essentially, areas with a high amount of foot traffic will generate more happiness. An example of this Rahimi showed us was a larger park where the central square was filled with shops and rides, which were all doing brisk business, while an outlying area with less foot traffic was going way slower.
Of course, the titular roller coasters play a major role in the game. Players can build and expand a coaster, which is based on one of the game's various land themes (we got to see three themes in the demo: fantasy, frontier and jungle adventure). When a coaster is built, players are able to choose what direction the tracks will go and then can continue to build the ride one section at a time. After a new section of track's been laid down, users can modify them to include exciting features like loops, corkscrews and enclosed sections. Even after a coaster's been fully built, it can be re-designed at the drop of a hat; all players have to do is drag and drop the segments into new areas. This modular construction mechanic will allow users to dynamically adjust the layout of an area.
Players will also manage the area outside the park, mainly on a small stretch of road housing business that generate construction resources and hotels used to house guests once a resort reaches a certain size/fame milestone. Meanwhile, the main entrance and stores are the main producers of coins, the game's soft currency. Rides and businesses operate on a timer, so they need to be turned on in order to attract guests or satisfy their need for things like food and bathroom breaks. Players can also "boost" (speed up) a ride, which attracts more guests towards it, but will actually make them sick if they boost an attraction too many times.
Aside from the standard social features where players can visit their friends' parks, the game incorporates one's friends into their parks' populations. The game mixes and matches players' friends' names and creates characters using combined first and last names; Rahimi tells us he once found a guest with his wife's first name and his boss's last name. When players mouse over a specific guest, a bubble with the character's name and what they want/need is displayed.
Rahimi also filled us in about what some of the post-launch plans for the game. Within a couple of months, the game will expand to let players build a full vacation resort next to the park. In addition to that, there will soon be an option to construct a park mascot who can tour around friends' parks and generate additional fame.
Theme park sims aren't terribly prevalent on Facebook, even though the PC game market has been well-saturated with them for the past couple of decades. Back in March, 6waves co-published Rollercoaster Mania from developer Noisy Duck, which peaked in May with 160,000 daily active users. Since then, the game's fallen to 40,000 DAU. As a result, it's probably fair to surmise that Zynga will have the top-performing theme park social game within a few weeks.
Zynga's been seeing a good deal of success with its "Ville" games lately, thanks to the major traffic gains of FarmVille 2 and CityVille 2. That said, this is the first time the company's launched an original "Ville" IP since it launched The Ville, which saw dramatic traffic losses after its summer debut.
CoasterVille is schedule to launch today on Facebook and soon on Zynga's own Zynga.com.

It's the season to be jolly – tra la la la la la la la laaaa …
Okay it's a bit early, but it won't be long now.
And the height of the social season of the year and a huge part of socializing in most cultures involves food.
We break bread with friends and family alike, especially at Christmas time.
And I can't think of a more substantial piece of equipment to have at the core of your kitchen tools and equipment than a KitchenAid.
The KitchenAid KSM156BCA Artisan Mixer
Back in the day … when I first came across the KitchenAid I was training school-leavers in all things food and cooking and catering, by way of preparation for their future careers in the food industry.
The training was two-fold, out on placement in catering establishments, anything from a sandwich bar to a 5* hotel, I had kids at Manchester United and the Lancashire Country Cricket Ground, as places I had worked as a casual waitress myself.
Although I visited them out at those establishments, I also ran an in-house micro canteen, serving a loyal crew of regular diners, where we gained a good reputation for quality and price. I bet you'll never guess where I herald from – in case you don't know the UK very well, it's Manchester, where these two establishments Man Utd and the LCCC are just around the corners from one another in Stretford, although some die-hards would argue that Man Utd is in Salford (as it tips onto the border).
The kids loved the pressure and the buzz, which if you've ever worked in the Food & Beverage Industry you'll wholly relate to, and if there was one piece of equipment we all agreed on it was our prized KitchenAid Food Mixer where the youngsters would elbow one-another out of the way in order to use it.
Professional Food Mixer
If you've never used one you might be wondering what made it so popular? The features everyone loved best are it's simple yet slick design, and as it's made completely of metal it's a substantial piece of kit complete with a sturdiness unlike any other similar machine, that often have a tendency to move around as the machine vibrates.
It was the first make to borrow the stainless steel bowl from the professional kitchen environment and this acts as the icing on the cake (so the speak) 🙂 which means it's very easy to clean which always helps in the aftermath of preparing a meal for that special occasion that can turn an unblemished kitchen area into a catastrophe area.
An Easy Clean Machine
This machine really does tick all the boxes by combining a beautifully designed domestic appliance with all the features and stability of a professional machine. The only aspect that may put people off is the price … but with equipment such as this you really do get what you pay for.
And it makes a great present to yourself or a wedding gift, or yes a Christmas present, although I'm not even going to go there with the subject of how many men think that we women are happy to receive presents for the house – as wonderful as this piece of kit is, that's definitely a no-no for most women any way!
Television Cookery Shows
If you check out television cookery shows, such as the BBC's Great British Bake Off you'll see every contestant has a KitchenAid sitting on the workbench, as a standard piece of kit.
Another show where the KitchenAid pops up on a regular basis is the BBC's Master Chef so it gets around, But it's such a lovely simple, clean, easy-to-use and clean machine, that every home should have one, at least where a regular attempt at the home-cookery tasks of mixing and baking go on.
Just as an add on here, there is nothing wrong with baking and eating baked goods, provided you mostly eat a balanced healthy eating throughout the week. And although home cooking is something that food addictions can stem from, unconsciously, avoiding baked goods is not necessarily the best way to deal with this if it's an issue for you.
It's a big topic, and everyone is different, getting your eating normalised is key, and there is such a wide range of alternative products to use in baking instead of wheat based items for example, that the world of cuisine has taken on a new life in offering such a range of experimental opportunities.
Product Details
- Boxed-product Weight: 13 Kg
- Item model number: KitchenAid KSM156BCA
Technical Details
- Smooth rounded design
- Direct drive
- Single attachment hub
- Full metal construction
- >Original planetary action
90th Anniversary Limited Edition (Candy Apple Red)
Here you'll see the special edition version of the KitchenAid Machine and the colour is very seasonal and fashionable at the moment with lots of other matching equipment out there in the market … that will look very smart in any modern kitchen – begging to be used more often and more easily than any food mixer you may have owned before.
It gets a big thumbs up from me and that's not just me being sentimental. I was in that role for 9-yrs and just wonder where they are now and what they're getting up to, and that would be fascinating to learn.

In the KDM Christmas Newsletter, KDM launched a Christmas Limerick Competition. To win £50 of Say Shopping vouchers all contestants had to do was write a humorous limerick and send it to us!
The judging was very difficult as we received so many fantastic entries. The whole KDM team voted to decide a winner who I am pleased to announce is:
Michael Walsh, from Kingston Smith, with the following limerick:
Outrage has been caused by Santa Claus himself,
He mistakenly referred to a dwarf as an elf,
This has caused Mrs Claus to say 'for heaven's sake',
Yet Sepp Blatter insists it can be settled with a handshake.
A £50 Say Shopping voucher will be making its way to Michael very soon and the limerick will feature in our digital Christmas card.
The below limericks were favourites too so many congratulations to the writers!
There once was a polar bear named Serge,
Who had a peculiar urge,
To leave his igloo, and join Santa's crew,
So with the reindeers did he emerge.
There was an old man called Santa,
Who had several reindeer to canter
Up high in the skies
Transporting sacks full of surprise
Enough to make reindeer a-panter!
Many thanks to everyone who entered and look out for more competitions and news in our newsletter. If you don't currently receive the newsletter but would like to please email email@example.com.

Free surgeries to the needy from Saudi German Hospitals Group
Saudi German Hospital Group, Sharjah and Ajman, is offering to provide free surgeries for the people who cannot afford the health care services in the UAE. 'The group believes that access to quality healthcare is the birthright of every citizen in the world and Ramadan is the time of caring and sharing. This is the right time to provide this healthcare service for the people who are not able to afford the service', said Dr. Reem Osman – Group CEO – Saudi German Hospitals Group UAE
The free surgeries will be done at Saudi German Hospital – Sharjah and Saudi German Hospital – Ajman. Both hospitals will provide free medical assistance, surgery, and post- surgical care to the people who are in need.
Dr. Reem Osman also said, 'This is one of the many humanitarian initiatives undertaken by Saudi German Hospitals Group – UAE. This initiative provides the underprivileged people an opportunity to lead a quality and healthy life for their family and society. SGH Sharjah and SGH Ajman will cover the complete costs of care provided'.
Dr. Reem Osman added that, these initiatives undertaken by the SGH Group are aligned with the vision and invitation of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum – Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE & Ruler of Dubai to support the people and society who are really in need.
SGH Sharjah and SGH Ajman facilities provide state of the art facilities to the residents of northern emirates while addressing the gap in medical and surgical needs in the emirates. With hospitals in Dubai, Sharjah and now Ajman, Saudi German Hospitals – UAE, is one of the largest private hospitals group in the United Arab Emirates by the number of hospital beds and number of operating hospitals.

This has been one of the most unusual weather seasons I've experienced. February to early March it was warm, then cold, then rainy, with more rain. Then we had a dry spell so that we worried about the corn crop, then rain at the right time. So much rain that farmers worried that they couldn't get the combines in the field. Suddenly the rain stopped, corn was harvested and wheat planted. Then it turned January weather, now back to fall. What little cotton is in the area and soybeans are being harvested and wheat and canola planted. All in all it will be a bumper yield for all crops this year. The dust from the harvest has been thick and heavy.
The weather we've had has provided wonderful fall foliage this year. The Natchez Trace Parkway considered in the top ten scenic drives in the country has been alive with color. Birding areas have been very photogenic. The University of North Alabama (UNA), our college in Florence, removed the two roads going through the campus and turned into a pedestrian campus. What used to be asphalt has been alive with color. I made two trips down the Trace and two to UNA. While at UNA I stopped by the lions den to see mascots Una and Leo. Usually they are on opposite sides of the cage next to the fence. Today, they were in the middle of the enclosure, Una was hanging over the pond and Leo was nearby looking in the opposite direction. I got a couple of good shots and both shot into their den when a car pulled into the President's driveway next door. As I was leaving, another visitor started the trek up the walkway and I told him they had already gone in. He looked at his watch and complained that they were supposed to be out until 5 p.m. After I walked off, I realized that it might be 4 p.m. our time, but their stomachs were still on daylight savings time of 5 p.m.
The Hooligans are still on DST also in addition to the lions. Come 2:30, they sit and stare at me, and if that doesn't work, start barking that it's chow time. One Saturday they were particularly outspoken that it was time to eat. I pulled out my cell phone telling them that it wasn't time, and they kept fussing so I showed them the cell phone, saying "See? It's not time." I felt really silly afterwards and hoped that no one saw me showing the time to them.
They haven't written their letter to Santa yet nor made their picture for our Christmas card. I think they've run out of excuses for why they've gotten into trouble this year.
I've been helping out with photography at musical benefits for a musician friend of mine who has lymphoma and no insurance. Bands from around the area have given their time at concerts to help raise money for lengthy chemotherapy treatments.
My weekend will be spent photographing at the annual Christmas in the Country at the Lagrange College site. How things used to be and old-fashioned toys and crafts are the norm. A week later is the Iron Bowl, Auburn's game with Alabama. I predict a win for my Tigers this year. The loser hears about the game for the next 364 days. The week after that is the Plantation Christmas and Dickens Christmas Ya'll in Tuscumbia. Both old-fashioned Christmas events are a lot of fun.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving from the Hooligans and myself. It's the season to count your blessings.

The intervention
At present, Surat is implementing a city wide integrated system – Intelligent Transit Management System (ITMS), to manage diverse set of transportation needs for the city – this includes public transport and vehicles related to civic services like solid waste management, drainage, heavy engineering, emergency services etc.
ITMS is planned to bring in best-in-class operational efficiency and automation to the operational capability of the city in respect to transport. Some of the key features of the project are:
- Enterprise Management System: to monitor operations and adherence to laid down service levels
- Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVLS): to track buses on service lines and provide alerts like route deviation, trip adherence, skipped stops, etc.
- Incidence Management system (IMS): helps streamline incidence management in cases like vehicle breakdown, accident, etc.
- Depot Management System (DMS): Manages all bus/ driver information; facilitating schedule management and allocations of the same
- PIS Management System: This is the central module, which manages all data from buses' GPS units and pushes it to Passenger Information System (PIS)/ mobile app/ website etc.
- Command and Control Centre (CCC): provides overall management, ensure smooth ITMS functions by coordinating with relevant stakeholders – the CCC is presently operated by 10 designated/ trained personnel
- Data Centre: ITMS has its own data centre comprising of switches, servers and storage systems, which is specifically designed for the ITMS project
Key outcomes
Under the project, the Command & Control Centre along with Data Centre has been established and four bus depots have started utilizing DMS. The project covers 30 operational routes for bus services in the city. This has benefitted the city efficiently. This could be evident from the fact that at present, 115 BRTS buses and 200 city buses are being tracked using ITMS, where ridership of – 85,000 per day (for BRTS) and 45,000 per day (for other city bus service) has been recorded. In addition, 154 BRTS stations and more than 400 city bus stops have been integrated with ITMS. BRTS and city buses are now available with an average frequency of 8-10 minutes and there is increased information about public transit covering BRT buses and city buses, to citizens with help of mobile app and public website.
In the medium to long run, the implementation of ITMS is expected to improve public transport connectivity across the city – increased number of buses on BRTS as well as city bus routes, in accordance with demand analysis through ITMS. Increased ridership and increased usage of public transport along with reduction of travel time owing to dedicated BRT corridors managed through ITMS.

Gaming Top Talent, a contest designed to support mobile game developers around the world, will host open auditions during GDC in San Francisco next week and at NG16 in Malmö this May.
Founded by IPC Ventures in partnership with Affinity and major industry partners, the Gaming Top Talent contest offers a total prize value of over 1M USD to the winners, including capital investment and exclusive publishing deals.
"Venture investing is all about talent discovery and empowerment; the same applies to investing in the games industry," explains IPC managing partner Shelley Lau. "With the rise of digital and mobile technologies and lower production cost, there is no lack of talents or game products. However, finding the next best "top talents" (requires) a much deeper and extensive search and filtering process via less beaten paths."
Lau, a participant on the Nordic Funding Panel at the NG15 Investing in Games Summit, adds: "We (also) believe that the Nordic region is still an under-served market from a capital investment standpoint, yet it has the rich talent pool, as well as an unique creative culture and technological history, (to) build scalable, sustainable and repeatable gaming ventures and (hubs) on a global and long-term basis."
Gaming Top Talent takes a unique approach to the traditional pitch format, combining live on-site pre-auditions with a permanent social media presence, collaborating with high profile "YouTubers" and influencers to enhance content distribution and online viewership. The competition also accepts online submissions on an ongoing basis.
The contest consists of three main phases over a period of nine months: Pre-auditions, Boot Camp and Grand Finale. Competitors selected for Boot Camp will go through rounds of challenges, working alongside mentors to improve their games before the finalists are selected.
March pre-auditions will take place at the following locations:
14-16 March: Game Connection (AT&T Park)
17 March: Pocket Gamer Big Indie Pitch event (within their venue)
To participate in the Gaming Top Talent pre-auditions in San Francisco, studios should contact the organisers by Sunday, 13 March (midnight PST) at gamingtoptalent.com.
May pre-auditions will take place during the NG16 Investing in Games Summit on Wednesday, 18 May – further details to be announced soon!

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Kevin on his professionalism and thank you for the excellent customer service you provided to me. You made the whole buying experience pleasurable and one which I will have no hesitation in repeating again, and again.
Please feel free to use this letter as a testimonial for future clients interested in buying a vehicle from Croydon Car Sales. I would be more than happy to speak with prospective buyers if they would like a verbal testimonial from me, and have already recommended your business to many of my friends and colleagues.
Once again, thank you Kevin for a fantastic car.
Kindest Regards,
Gail Schieder
I would like to thank Kevin and the team at Croydon Car Sales for making my car buying experience such an easy and pleasurable experience. I enquired on a car online and after a prompt response from Kevin I made an appointment to view and test drive the vehicle.
I immediately felt at ease when I visited the dealership, Kevin was friendly and really accommodating.
The car that I was interested in was immaculate and better than what I had envisaged.
I purchased the car in the end, no pressure, no pushy sales, just an open and honest transaction without any hassle at all. Even more reassuring was the extremely generous (and unexpected) warranty that Croydon Car Sales provided!
I would highly recommend Croydon Cars to anyone looking to buy a car.
Once again, thanks to Kevin and the team.

General Motors today that's resulted in some puzzled expressions at Engadget HQ. We've learned that the Volt, which Chevrolet has been making quite a fuss about calling an "extended range electric vehicle," is actually just a traditional hybrid with some... potentially misleading marketing behind it. Since the concept stage the company has been saying how the onboard internal combustion engine was just to charge the batteries, that only the electric motors (there are two) are actually connected to the drivetrain. Indeed that's what we were told in person when we test drove the thing back in March. We're now learning that is not the case, that the Volt's gasoline engine can directly provide power to the wheels in concert with the electric motors.
Is that a problem? In terms of efficiency the answer is "apparently not," as we're guessing the car would not have been designed this way if it weren't the most frugal way to go. So, why all the deception? Why insist this isn't just a hybrid when it apparently is? When the company went looking for a government bailout it was in part awarded one because of the innovation shown in the Volt. Now that we're learning the Volt is basically just a plug-in hybrid with a bigger than average battery pack (Popular Mechanics is finding 30-odd miles of purely electric range), we're left wondering: where's the innovation?
Update: We've added some further details and analysis below, and a confirmation from Chevrolet as well.

All people receiving disability benefits must have their medical conditions reviewed from time to time. Your benefits will continue unless there is strong proof that your condition has improved medically and that you are able to return to work.
Frequency of reviews
How often your medical condition is reviewed depends on how severe its and the likelihood it will improve. Your award notice tells you when you can expect your first review.
- Medical improvement expected - if your condition is expected to improve within a specific time, your first review will be six to18 months after you started getting disability benefits.
- Improvement possible - if improvement in your medical condition is possible, your case will be reviewed about every three years.
- Improvement not expected - if your medical condition is unlikely to improve, your case will be reviewed only about once every five to seven years.
What happens during a review?
Social Security will send you a letter telling you that they will conduct a review. Soon after that, someone from your local Social Security office will contact you to explain the review process and your appeal rights. The Social Security representative will ask you to provide information about your medical treatment and any work that you may have done.
A team consisting of a disability examiner and a doctor will review your file and request your medical reports. You may be asked to have special examination. Social Security will pay for the examination and some of your transportation costs.
When a decision is made, they will send you a letter. If Social Security decides that you still are disabled, your benefits will continue.
If Social Security decides you no longer are disabled and you disagree, you can file an appeal. If you decide not to appeal the decision, your benefits will stop three months after they decide that your disability ended.
For more information, ask for Your Right To Question The Decision To Stop Your Disability Benefits (Publication No.05-10090).

The magazine collection is a combination of both entertainment and informative magazines that range in ages from child to adult. We have about 130 different magazines in our library right now. You can find a complete list by searching our catalog for "periodicals."
Magazine for adults are located behind the Non-fiction books by the fireplace. Young adult magazines are to the west of the window in the YA section. Children's magazines are to the east of the Children's gaming computers in the Junior section.
Adult Non-fiction Collection
Real life is what non-fiction is all about. If you head through the hall into the general area and veer to the right, the possibilities are vast. We have an entire wall dedicated to biographies, another full of cookbooks of all kinds. If you'd like to try knitting, building a canoe, reading palms, balancing your budget, planning a vacation, or helping your child with math, visit the non-fiction collection.
Foreign Language Collection
Snuggled within the non-fiction collection are a growing number of books in foreign languages. If you're interested in reading Les Miserables in the original French, looking for a steamy romance in German, or perhaps a gripping Spanish detective story, check out the 400s in the general non-fiction section. We also have titles in other languages in the Young Adult non-fiction and the junior non-fiction sections, also under the 400s. Check out books like The Hunger Games, the Twilight series, Harry Potter, or the Magic Tree House.
Glass Case Collection
If you head through the hallway into the general area, you'll find immediately on your left sets of glassed in and locked cases containing the most valuable and rare books in our library. While these books can't be checked out, they can be looked at here in the library. Just give the reference librarian something as collateral (a driver's license, phone etc. will suffice) and let them know which titled you're interested in. They will retrieve the item and let you read away at one of the tables nearby.
Looking for some down-home recipes or something wildly exotic? We've got both and everything in between; baking, trail food, beverages, dehydrating, and more. To find the Cookbooks, go through the hallway into the general collection and turn right. You'll find them on the far wall.
We have a vast array of Biographies for you to explore; world leaders, athletes, music icons, humanitarians, and more. To find Biographies, go through the hallway and make a U-turn to the right. You'll find a whole wall covered with them. Biographies are alphabetized by the last name of the person they're about unless they're about a group of people. Those books will be under BIO-Group and alphabetized under the author's name.
Adult Graphic Novels and Comics
Looking for a good story told through sequential art? Check out our Adult Graphic Novels. To find them, head through the hallway into the General Collection. If you veer to the left and pass by our Fiction section, you'll find Adult Comics and Graphic Novels in the back left corner.
(DVDs, Blu-rays and VHS)
The library has an extensive collection of DVDs. They are located on the north side of the main foyer, just in front of the Young Adult section. DVDs that have been released in the theater are located in these bins. Both feature films and documentaries are included here. Ratings are indicated on the front of each DVD case, so that you can choose the movies best suited for yourself and your family.
We are also building our Blu-ray collection, and they are located in bins on top of the DVD display case. We have a few VHS tapes as well, and they are located in the far northeast corner of the General section.
If you walk down the General hallway, to your left on the wall next to the Fiction section (the North wall), you will find our collection of audiobooks on CD and cassette, including both fiction and non-fiction.
Music CDs
Down the General hallway, between the fishtanks on the west wall and the Large Print collection to the east, are the bins which hold music CDs. We have several thousand CDs in our collection. They are color-coded and arranged by the following genres:
- Alternative Rock: Pink
- Christmas: Red
- Classical: Dark Green
- Country: Brown
- Easy Listening: Medium Blue
- Inspirational: Purple
- Jazz: Yellow
- Miscellaneous: Grey
- New Age: Dark Red
- Pop: Light Blue
- Rap: Turquoise
- Rhythm & Blues: Pale Tan
- Soundtracks: Dark Blue
- World Music: Orange
We also have Junior CDs (with Light Green labels). They are housed in the Junior section, on the north wall.

Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever's blood-alcohol level was .29 at the time of his fatal crash, which is more than three times higher than what's considered to be the "legal limit" of .08.
The autopsy report from Coconino County says Dever died from injuries related to the crash, including a broken collarbone, fractured ribs, and blood collecting in a torn lung, among other injuries.

-Sheriff Larry Dever Speeding at 62 MPH on Dirt Road Without Seat Belt Buckled
There's an Arizona law against driving "impaired to the slightest degree," DUI laws, but in many cases, a level of .08 or higher is what qualifies someone for a DUI arrest.
The autopsy report shows Dever's blood-alcohol level was .291, which would have qualified him for what's considered "super extreme" DUI, which is applied to drivers with a level higher than .20.
Dever had been driving around 62 mph and was not wearing a seat belt a couple weeks ago when his pickup truck ran off the road and rolled, killing the Sheriff.

Beer bottles and cans were found around the site of the crashed truck, but a Coconino County Sheriff's Office spokesman said shortly after the crash that it appeared the beers had flown out of a cooler Dever had in the truck bed. He added that a deputy reported not smelling alcohol coming from the cab of Dever's truck.
Late last week, the Cochise County Sheriff's Office said Dever's family "expressed great sorrow" after hearing the toxicology results "indicate[d] a level of alcohol associated with impairment."
"The Dever family expressed great sorrow at the findings, indicating that with the recent events in Sheriff Dever's personal life to include the death of his mother Annie May four days prior to the accident, the Sheriff was still undoubtedly reeling from the stress and pressure of the events at hand," the statement said. "The Dever family advised that they remain so grateful for the overwhelming support and outpouring of love from Cochise County and across the nation, and they pray this report does not diminish the respect and admiration that so many have for such a great man."

'A sadness I couldn't explain' – The Undercover Soundtrack, Laura K Cowan
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on June 25, 2014
Johannes Brahms reportedly referred to his third intermezzo for Opus 117 as 'the lullaby of all my grief'. This week's guest was studying music in summer school when she first encountered it, and was overwhelmed by its sadness. Life events interrupted her dreams of becoming a musician, but years later, when she was writing a novel about a ballet dancer, her research led her to the Brahms. She remembered the imaginative journey she had taken when she used to play the piece, and now it guided her creation of the main character and her story. She is Laura K Cowan and she's on the Red Blog with her Undercover Soundtrack.

For a machine that is still under development and without a working prototype, the XtremMac G4 has generated enormous interest in computing circles based on Xtrem's promise of reaching the 1200MHz mark with a single chip. At present, Apple's highest-end G4 features dual 500MHz processors.
With such a large leap in processor speed, and lacking a prototype to test the claims, some have said the XtremMac G4 is a potential hoax or just plain wishful thinking. In fact, Wallberg stresses that the machine is still under development. "There is not a one-piece-as-seen-in-the-images' working prototype," he said. "We hope to be able to show the world by the end of the year."
The image shown here is actually a 3D rendering of the prototype designs. The finished machine is slated to feature the same, almost toaster-like, casing made from polished aluminium which will also serve as part of the cooling system. "We don't believe that a computer has to look like one," Wallberg said.
Compared to a standard G4, the changes are more than skin deep. While preliminary specifications are based on present and projected hardware, such as new chip speeds, the first XtremMac will boast a single overclocked G4 chip, supported and refrigerated by an Active Cooling System (ACS).
However, it is anticipated that the internal components will not just be overclocked versions of the same hardware Apple uses in its machines. According to Xtrem, the XtremMac G4 will feature an Apple motherboard with a bus increased from 100MHz to 150MHz. The standard PC100 SDRAM will be replaced by an overclocked variety. External and internal connectors will remain the same, with plans allowing for five 3.5in bays and three 5.25in bays - all accessible from the outside. Xtrem has also just been given the go-ahead to buy parts directly from Apple.
For their part, Xtrem representatives argue that the product will help to showcase and aid Apple's dominance in the high-end graphics and creative markets, whereas the XtremMac G4 is aimed rather than the mass-market.
While the cooling system is similar to the method deployed in the KryoTech Super G, the plans for the XtremMac are a refinement of the process. "Generally, the stability is not a problem in itself," Wallberg said in answer to questions about potential feasibility problems. "At a certain temperature we will reach a certain clock speed. We can't do so much about that - it's physics. The biggest challenge is to make it small, inexpensive and reliable. Basically we are avoiding cooling parts that don't need to be cooled down to sub-zero levels. This way we have less problems with condensation."
While no pricing figures have been released yet, Wallberg has gone on record as saying that the entry-level XtremMac G4 will be cheaper than Apple's high-end G4.
Although Xtrem plans to initially sell made-to-order units over its Web site, PC World asked Wallberg if there are any plans to find resellers in Australia or Asia-Pacific. "Definitely," he said. "We have got several serious inquiries from New Zealand, Australia and the Asia-Pacific region."
The Xtrem team certainly has a lot of hype to live up to as the final product goes through the development process. We will, however, watch for further news of a project which might just provide a system capable, on paper for the moment at least, of performing three times as fast as a 1GHz Pentium III PC.

Today was a good day. It's a spring day in mid-April and early this afternoon I had my kids in the woods for a few hours. My little girl is 2 1/2 and my boy will be 5 next month. I've been promising to show my son how to make a bow drill and today was the day we decided to head out to the tent and see it through.
My daughter, being the plucky soul she is, decided to come along. As things happen when two little ones go along any sense of having a plan went straight out the window. We got to the camp and they both decided they were hungry, so we started a fire, got out the noodles, and made some soup. I showed them how to strain water through a bandana and then boil it to make it safe to drink. They played with sticks and water and whatever was on hand while I prepared the noodles.
I have friends who's kids have never even seen a fire and don't know how to act around it. My kids know how to roast marshmallows and hotdogs and treat it with the respect it deserves. I still keep a close eye on them around it of course, as my little girl is fearful clumsy at this point, but they both know not to get too close and know that it can burn.
My son has his own kit. A camo backpack my wife picked up somewhere, a canteen and canteen cup, plastic spork, compass and whistle set, a small multi-tool that we spent some time with today showing him how to use it properly. I also put some
Ramen noodles and other snacks in there as well. Now when we go out in the woods he knows to grab his own pack and it's really nice that he has his own water and cup.
Later on this afternoon I went down and picked my daughter up a small canteen cup and a small water bottle for her Dora Backpack. She was thrilled! It's awesome to see them both having such a good time in the woods!
I hope if you have kids that you're getting them outside and showing them stuff like this. Sometimes mine don't want to go out at first, but once they're there they usually don't want to come in.
The funny thing is we never did get around to building that fire bow drill set. Guess we'll just have to build it the next time we get out there.

I realize you probably do get your kids outside, so what is it they like to do?

Cloistered Lives
The Last Office: 1539 and the Dissolution of a Monastery
By Geoffrey Moorhouse
Weidenfeld and Nicolson 272pp £25 order from our bookshop
Which structure was dubbed by Sir Walter Scott 'half church of God, half castle 'gainst the Scot', and was voted in a 2001 BBC poll the nation's favourite building? Geoffrey Moorhouse's highly readable and often surprising book is a kind of historical love-letter to Durham Cathedral, tracing the history of the institution from the earliest times, with an epilogue providing an amusing (and at times moving) fly-on-the-wall account of the reactions of contemporary tourists and worshippers to this most extraordinary of churches. But at the heart of the story is the event that falls almost exactly halfway between the laying of Durham's foundation stone in the late eleventh century and our own day: the dissolution of Durham Priory by Henry VIII's commissioners in the last days of 1539.

Colorado Rapids Soccer Club announced today that it has appointed Anthony Hudson as the eighth head coach in club history.
"This is a very special moment for the Rapids," said Sporting Director and Interim General Manager, Pádraig Smith. "In Anthony, we believe we've hired one of the most promising young talents and we're extremely grateful for the support shown by the Kroenke family and the KSE executive team who remain committed to our goal of bringing another MLS Cup to Colorado."
Hudson, 36, arrives in Major League Soccer after guiding the New Zealand national team to an Intercontinental Playoff appearance against Peru earlier this month. The All Whites fell 2-0 on aggregate, just short of qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
This past summer, Hudson became the youngest ever manager to lead a team to the Confederations Cup, earning international praise following his team's strong showing against CONCACAF giants Mexico.
In just over three years as head coach of New Zealand, Hudson helped the All Whites win the 2016 OFC Nations Cup championship, while posting a 9-11-7 record along the way – including a 1-1 draw with the United States at RFK Stadium in October of 2016.
"It's an exciting moment and a wonderful opportunity," said Rapids Head Coach, Anthony Hudson. "From the start, I was impressed by the club's culture, front office and vision for the future. I believe we share a philosophy, and now it's just a matter of going out and getting the results that both this club and community deserve."
Hudson began his managerial career in 2008 when he took over the reins of third-tier Real Maryland Monarchs at the age of 27. After a two-year spell with the club, he returned to England where he would work under Harry Redknapp at Tottenham Hotspur as a reserve team coach, before taking over English fifth-tier side Newport County in 2011.
The Seattle, Washington native would then serve as head coach of the Bahrain U-23 and senior national teams from 2012-14. He led the U-23s to their first-ever major trophy at the U-23 Gulf Cup of Nations in 2013, before helping the senior side finish third at the 2013-14 West Asian Football Federation Championship.
As a player, Hudson came up through the youth ranks at West Ham United before joining Dutch side NEC Nijmegen in 2001. He would finish his playing career as player-assistant with the Wilmington Hammerheads from 2006-08.
Hudson will be introduced to the media at a press conference to be held at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Thursday November 30 at 11:00 a.m. MT. The event will be streamed live on ColoradoRapids.com, YouTube, as well as on Altitude TV and Altitude Sports Radio 950. Fans will also have the chance to interact with Hudson directly on Friday, December 1 at 12:00 p.m. as the club will be hosting a live fan Q&A to be streamed on ColoradoRapids.com, YouTube and Facebook. For more information on how to participate, as well as all other Rapids-related news, follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
