Some artist named Pavel made a bunch of nice icons for the Call of Duty 4 prestige level badge medals. Unfortunately I can only claim prestige 2 badge.

Call of Duty 4: Prestige 1, Level 51
By jeff - Posted on May 1st, 2008
Yesterday or a couple days ago I finally reached Prestige 1, Level 51 after about 3 days, 8 hours of total play. I am progressing slowly!
Mostly I think I’m having CoD fatigue. I have been getting slaughtered and to spice things up I’ve been trying Search & Destroy which I absolutely stink at. To get a boost I bought the map expansion pack during 2x points weekend. Unfortunately being unfamiliar with the maps I had several crappy outings. Chinatown is by far my worst map. The experience level of competing players in the expansion pack is much tougher. The proportion of P10 players is considerably higher than in the regular maps.
If I just play free-for-all I could rack up the kills for single weapons pretty quickly but the extra bonus points are fewer. So, the question is: do I go for the kills to progress the guns or do I go for the bonus points? I haven’t devised a solid strategy for this yet.
Like the badge? I downloaded it from a pack of CoD 4 prestige badges from artistpavel.
Camping for the Kentucky Derby

The 2008 Kentucky Derby is May 3, 2008. I’m planning to go there with some old college buddies. Since the Derby is 2 weekends from now hotel prices in the area are astronomical. As such we’ve decided to be a little adventurous and we will try to camp somewhere in Kentucky for nights (Friday and Saturday) around the derby area. By camp I mean tent or cabin not RV. Most of the “camp” sites I have seen thus far are for RV camping.
Look at a Google Map of the Campgrounds listed below.
A basic Google search for “camping near Louisville, kentucky” does not yield many good results. However, after perusing various local chamber of commerce and Kentucky tourism websites I found Kentucky’s Derby Region. This appears to be Kentucky Camping Gold. I have yet to look it over in detail but they have a good list of campgrounds in Kentucky’s derby region
Some highlights include:
Indiana: solid alternative
Indiana has at least 2 large parks near Louisville that may provide a better value than the other campgrounds in Kentucky proper. These Indiana campgrounds are also closer to Louisville than some of the other sites in the list above!
I also noticed that West Point is somewhat near to Louisville. West Point has at least one promising camp site within 1 hr of Churchill Downs.
