Upright: Religion, group identification, conformity, tradition, beliefs
Reversed: Restriction, challenging the status quo
The Hierophant is known as the High Priest in some decks. He is the masculine counterpart to the High Priestess. He is also known as Chiron, the Pope and the Shaman. The Hierophant is ruled by Taurus.
The Hierophant is represented by a religious figure, sitting within a formal church environment. He is wearing three elaborate vestments of his office that represent the three worlds. The crown he is wearing has three tiers to. His right hand is raised in benediction, the same hand the Magician has raised. While the Magician was taking raw power from the Universe and manifesting it on the material plane, the Hierophant channels that power through society (as in the religions of the world). The triple sceptre is another symbol of his dominion over the three worlds. The crossed keys represent a balance between the conscious and subconscious minds and unlock the mysteries. Before him kneel two initiates. The Hierophant's task is to bring the two initiates into the church so that they can take up their appointed roles. This symbolises entry into all types of institutions where there is a shared group identity. These could include schools, clubs, teams, companies and societies.
The Hierophant is very conventional and this Tarot card suggests that you have a desire to follow due process and to stay within the conventional bounds of what is typically an orthodox approach. Instead of being innovative, you will need to adapt to the existing set of beliefs and systems that are already in place. You will need to do what is expected of you. The appearance of the Hierophant in a Tarot reading indicates that this is certainly not a time to challenge the status quo!
The Hierophant Tarot card suggests that you may be wise to follow established social structures and traditions. You may be involved in some sort of ritual, ceremony, or the trappings of religion. There is also a need to honour some tradition in your life, or maybe start some traditions of your own if you have none. Consider also exploring your spiritual or religious heritage.
In Tarot readings, the Hierophant card often stands for institutions and their values. The Hierophant is a symbol of the need to conform to rules or fixed situations. His appearance can show that you are dealing with a force that is not innovative, free-spirited or individual but is instead fixated on the 'way we have always done things around here'. Groups can be enriching or stifling depending on circumstances. Sometimes we need to follow a program or embrace tradition, while at other times we need to trust ourselves.
The Hierophant Tarot card indicates that you may feel compelled to join some sort of group or institution. It may be as significant as joining a new church or religious group, or as simple as joining a gym. This Tarot card is about identifying with a group and a way of thinking that will have benefit for you and will prompt further learning.
In his focus on sharing knowledge through an institution, the Hierophant represents education and the pursuit of knowledge. This Tarot card can indicate a period of increased studying and learning, through formal mechanisms. You seek to understand a field of study that has been widely explored and documented, and so you may go to a well-known or established teacher to find out more.
The Hierophant may also appear in your life as a psychotherapist, a wise counsellor, a priest, or a spiritual mentor to whom you will turn for wisdom and knowledge. He may be an authority or a kind and generous mentor who nurtures a spiritual awareness. You will learn new skills from this helpful teacher as he has the wisdom to provide good counsel and advice.
The Hierophant Tarot card represents an institutionalised means for accessing the sacred and is the carrier and transmitter of ancient wisdom and religious teaching. He represents a link between us and the Divine and, for this reason, he is often referred to as the Pope. The role of the Pope is traditionally that of the mediator between God and mankind. As such, the Hierophant represents the spiritual teacher who helps us come into contact with the Divine. Unlike the Magician, who simply points the way, the Hierophant is a trusted guide, one who will take us by the hand and lead us to our spiritual goal. He represents a gateway to a higher consciousness reached in a ritualised manner. He teaches that which can be learned by word and example.
All things that are righteous and sacred come with the Hierophant Tarot card – marriage, alliance, captivity, servitude, mercy and goodness, inner conscience and outer conscience.
The Hierophant reversed indicates that you are feeling restricted or constrained by structure and rules, and as a result, you have lost a lot of flexibility and control in your life. You have a strong desire to go against the grain and break free from convention. You may be tempted to go about your business in an unorthodox manner, to do something that is out of character or against social norms. The Hierophant reversed is about breaking the rules and challenging the status quo. You no longer accept the rigid structures, tradition and dogma surrounding you, and now seek out opportunities to rebel and retaliate. You want to challenge ideas and concepts that you once thought of as written in stone.
The reversed Hierophant is about questioning tradition and asking yourself whether what you are doing is really the right thing by you. You may have been running on automatic so far and following the crowd but now you realise that perhaps things are not the way they seem and changes need to be made.
In this way, the Hierophant reversed is like a rebellious teenager or young adult who begins to question society and participate in political activities. There may be a run-in with authorities or conflict with a parent or authoritative figure.
The reversed Hierophant can sometimes reflect societal or group pressure. You are being forced to conform but you do not agree with the fundamental belief systems.
The Hierophant can also represent a person who is in a leadership role or position of authority. He may indicate a religious leader, a father figure, or even a boss at work. When the Hierophant is reversed, you may find that this person is ruling with an iron fist, forcing others to conform and abide by the rules, afraid to step out and do something different or challenge the status quo. If this person is 'in charge' then you may have little choice but to follow.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) Chapter 5 of Pete Carroll's book ``Win Forever'' is all about the decision he made in 1995 that eventually landed him a gig as the defensive coordinator in San Francisco and helped frame his coaching philosophies moving forward.
The chapter is titled, ``The 49ers Way.'' It was one phone call away from having nothing to do with San Francisco and all about Carroll joining up with Mike Shanahan in Denver.
``I thought I was going with Mike. I was really thrilled, after getting bounced with the Jets that somebody called,'' Carroll recalled this week.
Once nearly co-workers in Denver, Carroll and Shanahan will reconnect on Sunday when the Redskins host the Seahawks on the opening weekend of the NFC playoffs.
While most of the attention has fallen on the two rookie quarterbacks - Washington's Robert Griffin III and Seattle's Russell Wilson - the coaches involved in this playoff matchup are respected for their abilities to be different and innovative on the offensive side (Shanahan) or on the defensive side (Carroll).
Their outward personas might be drastically different, but their ability to scheme and coach seems to be without question.
``I think you've got to be yourself and that's what Pete has done. He's been himself,'' Shanahan said. ``Everyone knows the type of job he did at Southern Cal. He's a guy that is very enthusiastic in everything he does and a good friend.''
Each in his third season with his team, Carroll and Shanahan put together regular seasons that will be remembered for the risks they were willing to take in regards to their quarterbacks. For Shanahan, it was giving up a bounty to move up in the draft to select Griffin, then retooling his entire offensive system to fit what his new franchise QB could do best. The result was one of the finest seasons ever by a rookie quarterback.
Not to be outdone, Carroll took a chance by throwing his third-round selection into the middle of a three-way quarterback competition that included free-agent signing Matt Flynn. Wilson became the clear winner and because Carroll had made it a competition, the decision to go with the rookie didn't become an issue in the locker room.
``His energy that he brings every day is unbelievable. It's unmatchable. He loves the game of football. He loves us players,'' Wilson said. ``In terms of just the energy that he brings to practice and in the meetings and everything, you really want to play for him. You just want to put your best foot forward every time you step out on the field.''
There was a moment when Shanahan nearly got that personality of Carroll's on his staff. Shanahan had just landed the head coaching position with the Broncos and was seeking a defensive coordinator. He called Carroll, who had just been fired after one season with the New York Jets, and asked him to come to Denver to interview.
Carroll was on his way to Denver when he heard from 49ers head coach George Seifert. San Francisco was about to lose defensive coordinator Ray Rhodes to the head coaching job in Philadelphia and Seifert wanted Carroll to interview for the expected opening.
In Denver, Carroll could be part of something new, developing the defense alongside what Shanahan was doing offensively with John Elway. In San Francisco, there would be expectations of trying to match the previously set standards. Eventually, Carroll said he wanted the challenge that came with going to San Francisco along with the opportunity to learn more of the intricacies of the West Coast offense.
``The really sound decision was to go to the up-and-coming team as opposed to the team that had just won the world championship, but when I finally realized that I had a hard decision because it meant so much to go to San Francisco and to go back home with George and all of that. I finally figured out that was what was bothering me, and I was thrilled about going forward. I needed to go to San Francisco because I needed to know where they were with their system and all of that.''
That opportunity to be in the 49ers system and later during his two seasons there, the chance to pick the brain of Bill Walsh, proved vital for Carroll going forward. Denver didn't miss a beat either, hiring Greg Williams as its defensive coordinator instead of Carroll, and going on to win two Super Bowl titles.
After referring to Carroll as ``excitable'' earlier this week, Shanahan was asked how he'd describe himself. His answer probably would have stood for Carroll as well.
``That's a good question. I've been called a lot of things before which I can't say. But I think overall, what you want to do as a coach, is be respected,'' Shanahan said. ``You've got a hard job to do and you want to be fair to the best player on your football team as compared to the guy that maybe is not thought of as one of your better players. You want to be consistent, and you'd like to be respected. I think that's one of the things that, if I had people trying to remember me, it would be something like that.''

Okay, let's get the sartorial stuff out of the way first. Tina's dress fit her impeccably. But it was, yes, kind of a boring blue. But her hair was a whole new colour! And she looked more comfortable than she often does on these carpets.
Amy Poehler looks like she's drinking the blood of virgins. I don't know how she's getting younger. Her hair colour was also the only blonde that didn't make me want to kill myself. But she's better than that dress. I get the "I want to be comfortable and also not the focus", but I still think there are more dresses out there she could be in. A rollneck in chiffon feels a little too much like the softer side of Sears, and she's Amy Poehler. (Lainey: DISAGREE! Loved it!)
The question here is not whether they alone bailed out that first opening sequence. An assist from Kevin Spacey, of course, but it was all Tina and Amy and you could feel NPH's gas bubble of anxiety move down from his diaphragm into his belly.
Nor is the question whether these two will do the Golden Globes (they talked about it with Ryan, ergo of COURSE they will. Those two are network girls). The question isn't even whether it will be good and we'll be crying for more of them, because we will.
The question to me is long-term career planning. Tina is writing shows and will probably star in another one. There's an appetite there. Amy will probably get a similar deal when Parks is done, and if I'm not mistaken, will show up in more movies just for the hell of it.
So that's what the next 10-12 years looks like for these two? But they know well that their chemistry is rare and good, and the Statler and Waldorf comparisons aren't all that off. After all, weren't S & W the first place you learned that it's OK to criticize, albeit not aloud?
My question then is, what does 50 and beyond look like for these two? You know they're thinking about it. We can wish for Amy to run circles around Carrie Underwood on the carpet for years to come – "So, what are you doing? What's your thing, what's up?" – but she's too good and too expensive.
Maybe it's a co-hosted talk show? Late night with Tina and Amy? Has that been done? But then again, they don't want to be tied together for life, either. You want to be able to come together or not when it suits you, but not have to.
They're actually more likely than anyone else last night – including the Jon Hamms and the Bryan Cranstons – to be able to write their own career paths. So what do they do now?

You need an identity as an organisation. Having a name, logo and slogan to hide behind is what gives your group its legitimacy. Individuals and members become spokespeople, press officers, campaigners, which are all terms that decision-makers can identify with.
Your identity is what draws new people into your group. There are two schools of thought about acronyms - some groups believe that a clever acronym makes your group more memorable, others think that it belittles the campaign message. It is up to your group to decide, but remember that your identity defines how others (either cyclists or motorists, pedestrians, councillors, etc.) will view you.
Choose a simple name that clearly expresses your intentions. If you get stuck, then you might try calling yourself your local cycle campaign, as Warrington Cycle Campaign and the LCC (London Cycle Campaign) have done.
A logo can help the public identify and remember your group. Keep it simple, and make sure that it looks okay when reduced for A5 leaflets. A good example is Cambridge Cycling Campaign or Chicycle a cycling campaigns group affiliated to Cycling UK based in Chichester.
Headed paper for letters and press releases give your group a real credibility. It can be made cheaply by inserting your logo into the top right-hand corner of a new document, then saving it as a template.
It may also be useful to set up an email address with the name of your campaigns group, it looks very professional, an example is Readingcyclingcampaign@hotmail/yahoo/etc.
You can direct the mail this account receives to either yourself of a group of people, so the messages are picked up promptly. A standard group email-signature would also be a good way to standardise and professionalise the appearance of the campaign group; it will also save individuals having to set up their own.

Change over time. Long term usage and survival of tools. A topic much on my mind lately. There are long debates and complaints and gnashing of teeth on Geonet (one of many places) about some of the features of ArcMap/Catalog that aren't being re-implemented in ArcPro.
We, or at least some of us, have been here before. VBA/VB6 is gone (good riddance!) and with it some star tools, but more concerningly for me star people are subsiding into the background.
Before VB it was ArcView3 and ArcInfo. With that change too we lost valuable tools, data models, and again, people. People too disenchanted and demoralized to invent anew in the new language their old-but-still-damnably-useful tools. It's depressing.
This doesn't only happen in the commercial software world. It's not only Esri who ups and leaves a paradigm.
How to insulate ourselves from the damages of change, while still being present enough to take advantage of it?
Anyway, I have work to do. More methods and processes to build that won't be portable to new-hotness. Before I leave you to your reflections, here's a couple of examples:
ArcGIS DEM Tools by Jeff Jenness. Voted 1st place for Best Desktop Application in 2010 and 2nd place in 2009. Last release 2013. It's written in VB. If you click around some you'll find Jenness tools for ArcView3 also.
Hawth positioned himself to move to an open source platform instead of Esri in a bid to escape the change-bind. (My supposition. Hawth didn't actually say that.) This effort appears to have stalled unfortunately. Too much for a sole-source author to do without a sponsor.
our own @whuber felt the pain and recognized the pattern circa arc v9 and changed to dispensing advice instead of tools.

On Wednesday night, he shared it with 16.
The 82-year-old Oscar winner walked the press gauntlet at the Los Angeles premiere of his latest film "Trouble With the Curve" - with the empty chairs right behind him.
They were simply set dressing: bleacher seats lined up along the green carpet at the premiere for "Trouble With the Curve," a family drama about a fading baseball-scout father played by Eastwood and his estranged daughter, played by Amy Adams.
When it was pointed out to him the Oscar winner laughed.
On Aug. 30, Eastwood stood on stage at the Republican National Convention berating an empty chair, representing President Barack Obama.

London/Beijing: Increasing demand for manufactured goods drove global factory activity higher last month but the spurt in the euro zone masked a widening disparity among some of the bloc's key members.
As year-end approaches, the global economy is showing signs of a more solid recovery, with encouraging signs from some economies, particularly Britain, of an acceleration.
But growth in Europe's 17-nation currency union remains weak and Markit, compiler of the monthly Purchasing Managers' Indexes, said on Monday that there was evidence of a renewed downturn in France and Spain.
Markit's Eurozone Manufacturing PMI rose to 51.6 last month from October's 51.3, a two-year high, just pipping an earlier flash reading of 51.5, and the fifth consecutive month showing growth. The output index nudged up to 53.1 from 52.9.
"It is coming from a pretty low level," said Ben May at Capital Economics. "Signs of weakness in France is clearly a worry and suggests that the divergence between it and Germany remain firmly in place. It would raise more concerns if it were to continue or intensify." France's PMI fell to a five-month low of 48.4 from 49.1, chalking up its 21st month below 50, while Spain's sank back below the 50 break-even mark after spending the last three months in growth territory.
By contrast, data from Germany, Europe's biggest economy, showed factories there had their best month since mid-2011.
Italian figures showed manufacturing there also picked up speed.
The Eurozone escaped from its longest-ever recession earlier this year, supported by better-than-expected growth in Germany, but a Reuters poll last month suggested the bloc's economy will grow only moderately though next year.
A similar indicator for Britain, outside the Eurozone, was much stronger. At 58.4, it easily topped the highest forecast and is showing the strongest growth in nearly three years.
Data due later from the United States, the world's biggest economy, is expected to show an easing from October's two and-a-half-year record.
Chinese PMIs suggested resilience that augurs well for Beijing's plans to gear the economy more towards domestic consumption and away from investment-led growth. Beijing has said it will accept lower economic growth to achieve the shift.
The HSBC/Markit China PMI edged down to 50.8 in November from a seven-month high of 50.9. China's official PMI released at the weekend, which focuses more on bigger firms, held at 51.4 in November, unchanged from October's 18-month high.
"The more forward-looking parts of the reports, however, imply some moderation of economic activity further down the road, underpinning our view that Chinese economic growth may have peaked in the third quarter," said Nikolaus Keis at UniCredit.
The HSBC survey showed new export orders growth dipped to a three-month low, but the official PMI showed an acceleration.
Japan's PMI, released on Friday, pointed to the quickest manufacturing growth in more than seven years as new export orders reached their highest level in over three.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has overseen massive monetary and fiscal stimulus this year to revive the economy, which has now grown in the past four quarters.
Factory activity in India expanded after three months of contraction as new orders grew for the first time since May, supporting government figures on Friday that suggested an economic slump may have bottomed out.

Hello from GNevada! I'm a retired (and just tired) miner and mechanic who enjoys all things mechanical. I had back surgery last fall and decided to take on some less strenuous activities, like model building, small engines and trains. I've made a few models and have more in the works.
My interests are G Scale 45mm trains and 1:24 or so buildings and people. I am collecting parts for 25mm track as a narrow gauge for mining, and now I guess I need to look at Gn track too.
My plans for layouts include lumber/logging and mining.
I've been enjoying the forum for several months and finally took the step of joining. Hope I can learn more from all of you and contribute a few things myself.

The earliest industries in Toronto Township were the mills situated along the Credit River. Among them were the Barber Brothers' Toronto Woollen Mills in Streetsville and the Racey sawmill in Erindale. Although Toronto Township was mainly agricultural several industries sprang up in the late 1880s, such as the St. Lawrence Starch Company, and in the early 1900s the Cooksville and Port Credit brickyards. In the 1930s the first oil refinery was built in Port Credit by Lloyd's Refineries. By the 1950s Toronto Township was home to a second oil refinery and St. Lawrence Cement Company, both located in Clarkson.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (the IEC) developed the IE energy efficiency standard in order to confront the problem of nations having different standards for energy efficiency.
IE codes are a measurement tool for the efficiency class of motors. The new EN 60034-30:2009 gives the world a definition of the following efficiency classes of low-voltage three phase asynchronous motors in the power range from 0.75 kW to 375 kW.
• IE1 = Standard Efficiency (comparable to EFF2)
• IE2 = High Efficiency (comparable to EFF1)
• IE3 = Premium Efficiency
The old European designations EFF3, EFF2 and EFF1 will not become invalid, but will gradually disappear from the market.

This last week witnessed my epic battle with a Swedish Princess cake, totally worthwhile for a little trip to cake heaven floating on soft spongy creamy layers with homemade jam and marzipan. The recipe will be with you shortly but you can already find my easy raspberry jam page here. Then an enthusiastic baking reader, Kate from Cornwall, sent me the most wonderful recipe which led to a delicious black and blue berry nice summer tart with a hint of mint.
Of course old recipes are often revisited. But though I'd made lovely spelt croissants in Barcelona, the first batch created in the UK for mum just didn't stay puffed enough. Was it the butter? Was it the coarser white spelt flour? In my quest to solve the mystery I produced a second batch this week using standard unsalted President butter and half spelt flour, half 00 flour. Not perfect but much better with puffing, flaking and honeycomb structure.
Why were the second batch better? Maybe the inclusion of 00 flour, the change in butter or paying more attention and adapting the recipe for the less humid environment of London. These were my discoveries: a 'drier atmosphere' means you should cover your croissants loosely with clingfilm when they're proving so they don't 'crust up'. Since it's also colder the proving (rising) time is longer – I waited 3 hours instead of two for the croissants to double in size and eventually placed them near a warm oven, which helped. So flexibility is the name of the game with breads and viennoiserie, adapting to your own particular variations in flour, butter, humidity and temperature. Eek.Bliss and energy
Finally, I felt the need for extra oomph so threw together some super healthy spirulina bliss balls which turned out to contain no spirulina! Oops, that green powder I'd been handed wasn't spirulina but a new superfood called Moringa Tree. Which explains why our bliss balls tasted blissfully delicious. Moringa Tree – yum! Plus dates, goldenberries, dried cherries, pecans and cocoa nibs. Again, yum! Looking forward to being healthy and more alert (I live in hope) with these tasty bites! 🙂
'Stuff you guys made from the blog' gallery
There were a couple of awesome new additions to the gallery. Kate from Cornwall (yes, she's a busy baker!) posted a photo of her lovely coffee Gateau Moka on the facebook fan page. It's beautiful, with such impressively pretty piping and Kate later wrote the cake was 'delish'.
Then Annette from New Zealand sent in a shot of her Lamingtons and confirmed they were delicious and moist. They look very yummy and tempting!
It's always lovely to see the cakes you make from the blog so please feel free to send them to firstname.lastname@example.com or post them on the facebook fanpage.
Exciting cookbook discoveries!
Also can't wait to explore new recipes in three books I've recently discovered browsing in bookshops and on mum's shelf. I'm sharing them here as you might love them too! 🙂
- The Hairy Bikers' Asian Adventure – brilliant savoury recipes from the Far East and some amazing innovative fusion desserts! A very exciting cookbook!
- Patisserie made simple: from macaron to millefeuille and more – by Edd Kimber (winner of the first Great British Bake Off series). Wow! It's beautiful, with many classics but also some twists.
- Deliciously Ella, Awesome ingredients, incredible food that your body will love – a healthy cookbook to inspire me. Though not as exciting for me as the other two books, I did spot some amazing healthy cakes in there!
Do you have any of these books? What's your favourite baking or cookbook and do you have a collection of them? And what have you been baking?
Always nice to see and hear from you sweet reader. Wishing you a wonderful fun weekend exploring, adapting and innovating in the kitchen and in life! 🙂 x

Hear your Warm and Fuzzy here!
I've heard people say, "How do I get over something if it still hurts?" And yes, forgiveness is key, whether it's aimed towards yourself or someone else. However, it's not really the main issue. What people really want to know is, "How do I deal with the pain?"
The problem with pain is that it doesn't just go away quickly. It doesn't disappear when the dust settles. When you've been hurt – even if you've taken the high road of forgiveness – sometimes the pain comes along for the ride.
I'm not sure what's worse. The initial pain of being hurt or the repressed pain that surfaces later when you least expect it. You know, you're going along, happy and whole, then something happens that reminds you of the past and instantly a flood of emotions you thought you locked away come rushing back in. It's enough to make you wonder if you'll ever be okay again.
Can I help you as someone who's been there and is walking this road with you today?
First of all, it's normal. Yeah, you can still get riled up about something that happened to you six months ago, a year or ago or maybe years ago. You're not a machine. You're a human being with a heart. Just like you wouldn't expect a deep flesh wound to heal over night, neither will your feelings when you've been hurt.
Secondly, don't be afraid of your pain. Don't be afraid to let it surface if it needs to. Nothing gets better when it's covered in layers of shame, fear and regret. So you can't be concerned that your pain is too ugly to show, which leads me to my next point…
Talk to somebody about it. If you're married, talk to your spouse. Maybe you need a professional counselor or a trusted friend and cup of coffee. Let your pain come out in words. You don't need to tell everyone. In fact, too many people knowing your problems can be counterproductive. But find one person you trust and let the cork off of all those bottled up emotions.
I talk a lot here about letting go of your past and moving forward, and I still believe those are powerful tools for living an abundant life. However, the truth is that you can't let everything go. Some things you have to let heal. Give it space and time to get better on its own and don't try to rush the process. Let the wound turn into a scar that one day becomes just an old story you forget to tell.

The Atlantis Enigma-cont...Map-making has a history of at least 12,000 years. A map was found in 1966 engraved on a mammoth tusk discovered at (Image from Ancient Inventions) Mezhirich, in the Ukraine. It was dated to 10,000 BC and showed a local river flanked by a row of houses. Pottery jars were in use by the same date. A fine example was discovered in the Ishigoya Cave, on Honshu, Japan. Other pots found on the island were 1,000 years older (11,000 BC), Cheese-making, yogurt-making and wine fermentation were all known in the Stone Age, according to recent discoveries. (14)Larger than life-size fingerprints are carved on a Neolithic dolmen on the Ile de Gavrinis, Brittany, France. Most of the carvings show fingertip patterns typical of those on modern police files. Two are partial representations of palm prints. An article in the Chronique Medicale suggests the carvings may have been used as the ultimate identification references of tribal chieftains. The earliest boomerang, a hunting weapon with very specific and unusual aerodynamic properties, is dated at 21,000 years of age. It was found not in Australia, but in Poland.Oil lamps were made 20,000 years ago. They may have been used to light surgical operations on the human brain carried out at much the same time. There is an ancient tradition of anesthetics, such as controlled doses of mandrake, which rendered patients immobile and insensitive to pain. Incredibly, copper was mined before flint in Serbia. There are prehistoric copper mines on Lake Superior, in California, Arkansas, New Mexico, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, New Jersey and Ohio, where prehistoric iron smelting furnaces have also been found. Manganese was mined near Broken Hill in Zambia. Carbon dating of charcoal on the site indicates these mines were being worked 28,130 years ago. In 1987, Birmingham University archaeologists, Lawrence Barfield and Mike Hodder, concluded that a mound of fire-cracked stones, excavated beside a stream in the city, had been a prehistoric sauna. Other similar sites have since been identified throughout Britain.The horse was domesticated in Europe sometime before 15,000 BC. A cave wall drawing at La Marche, France, shows one clearly wearing a bridle. So does an engraving found at the Grotte de Marsoulas, and another from St Michel d'Arudy. Archaeologists excavating tumuli on New Caledonia and the Isle of Pines in the south-west Pacific, discovered more than 400 man-made cement cylinders, 40 to 75 inches in diameter and up to 100 inches long. These cylinders, the purpose of which is unknown, were speckled with silica and iron gravel. Carbon dating showed they could be as old as 13,000 years. There are paved prehistoric roads in Yucatan, New Zealand, Kenya and Malta. There are 170,000 miles of underground aqueducts, thousands of years old, in Iran. There is a water tank in Sri Lanka with a surface area equivalent to Lake Geneva. "The greatest of these systems, of course is the Parakrama Samudraya (left)or the Sea of Parakrama, a tank so vast that it is often mistaken for the ocean. It is of such a width that it is impossible to stand upon one shore and view the other side, and it encircles the main city like a ribbon, being both a defensive border against intruders and the lifeline of the people in times of peace. The Kingdom of Polonnaruwa was completely self-sufficient during King Parakramabahu's reign." ...Nationmaster.com (4) In 1932, Captain G. E. H. Wilson wrote in "Man" of a forgotten civilization in East Africa's Rift Valley. Signs of this civilization stretched across what are now Tanganyika, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya and Northern Zimbabwe and included terracing, ancient canals, drainage systems, miles of roadways and an irrigation system that appears to have included the diversion of whole rivers. In June 1940, Froelich G. Rainey and Magnus Marks began excavating a Neolithic site near Ipiutak in the Arctic Circle. By the time they uncovered the remains of some 600 houses, with indications that at least a further 200 remained to be excavated, they realized they had stumbled on a prehistoric metropolis. The city was laid out on a logical grid and stretched for more than a mile. Artifacts and craft work discovered at the site were of "elaborate and sophisticated carving and ... beautiful workmanship". The archaeologists were convinced their find could not represent any proto-Eskimo culture, and decided instead that the people who built this chilly city must have entered the area from elsewhere. In 1928, the Geographical Review published a report on the discovery of ancient ruins on the site of Kevkenes Dagh, Asia Minor. This great isolated city, built by an entirely unknown culture, was three times the size of Boghaz Koi, the ancient Hittite capital. High-walled fortifications, 13 feet thick, enclosed an area of 1.5 miles by 1 mile. Also in the 1920's came reports of the remains of cities, temples and monuments hidden in the wooded valleys stretching along the coastline through Honduras up to Yucatan. The remains were described as superbly carved monoliths and stones of immense size covered with ornaments and glyphs reminiscent of Egyptian, Indian and even Chinese art. An anonymous writer in Pan-American Magazine suggested they might be remnants of Atlantis. You can see why. (5)
Yanoguni Underwater MonolithsYonaguni is a small island south-west of Okinawa in the Japanese archipelago. In 1988, scuba divers led by Kihachiro Aratake discovered an enormous stone structure on the seabed off the coast of Yonaguni. The structure lay more than 75 feet below the surface. Investigation showed it was 600 feet long, 450 feet wide and 90 feet high. The locals decided it was a natural formation. Ten years later, the experts weren't so sure. The first geologist to investigate the site was Professor Masaki Kimura of Ryuku University on Okinawa. In April 1998, he discovered a structure divided into five distinct layers and decided it had to be manmade. It is easy to see why. Underwater photographs and video footage reveal a stepped, ziggurat-like monument of extraordinary proportions. Each step is about 3 feet high with clean edges and sharp angles. There is also an archway and two parallel monoliths among other intriguing features like drainage channels. Further investigation led to the discovery of smaller satellite ziggurats near the main edifice. Each is about 30 feet wide and 6 feet high. Each appears to be constructed of stepped slabs. Divers also found what looks like a road surrounding the main structure. Robert Schoch, the American geologist who re-dated the sphinx, dived to examine the Yonaguni Monument and later commented that while natural water erosion and rock splitting might possibly produce a structure of this type, he had never seen anything quite like it before. Professor Kimura was even more forthcoming. He maintained bluntly that if the sharp steps were the result of natural erosion there would be debris on the seabed surrounding them. In fact, there is none. The aptly named Team Atlantis expedition who dived to make a video documentary of the site concluded that while the monument may be a natural formation in part, it had certainly been extensively modified by human hands. In other words, someone in the depths of prehistory discovered a suitable rock formation and used sophisticated engineering techniques to shape it the way they wanted. But if the various structures in the Yonaguni complex are artificial, there is no known Japanese civilization that could have created them. Geological dating places the site above water no later than 8000 BC. (The actual time-span is somewhere between 8000 and 10,000 BC.) Orthodox prehistory claims the most advanced culture in Japan at the time was small groups of hunter-gatherers. As Professor Kimura points out, there is no way they could have built or even modified the Yonaguni Monument. He believes for something of this size some sort of machinery must have been involved. (6) America's William R. Corliss, a tireless collector of anomalies, expresses the fundamental situation brilliantly: Most impressive of all are the great deserted cities, the ruins of which stand on the lonely plains of Asia Minor, high in the thin air of the Andes, and on storm-swept Arctic shores. Here are signs of great civilizations that once prospered and raised magnificent walls, buildings and monuments. Perhaps we have acclaimed the Greeks and Romans too loudly.(15) Plato described Atlantis as a literate, seafaring culture which had domesticated the horse, created vast engineering works and built great cities. Its people wore clothes, mined and used metal, engaged in agriculture, drank wine and had some sort of centralized political structure. For anyone who subscribes to today's consensus of prehistory, this must all seem like an outlandish fantasy. Yet, as we have now seen, there really were Ice Age peoples who created vast engineering works and built great cities, who wore clothes, mined and used metal, grew crops, drank wine and manifestly must have had some sort of centralized political structure. Even the question of literacy no longer seems quite so fantastic. Although the Sumerians are generally credited with inventing writing in the fourth millennium BC, a 1979 study by two American academics thinks otherwise. Allan Forbes Jr. and T. R. Crowder undertook an in-depth analysis of some curious signs which appear repeatedly in Upper Palaeolithic cave art. Unlike the rest of the art, these signs do not seem to be directly representational - that's to say they bear no obvious resemblance to any animal, person or artifact. Forbes and Crowder systematically considered, then eliminated, the possibility that the signs were meant to mark individual property, that they were hunting tallies or memory aids. The Americans then compared the signs with characters found in several early written scripts - Greek, Runic and Indus Valley signs - and found sufficient similarities to justify the belief that the later alphabets actually evolved from the prehistoric cave signs. They were left with only one conclusion, which they expressed forcefully in a paper published in World Archaeology: "The sole remaining possibility is writing ... a precursor form not differing fundamentally from inscriptions in early written languages." If we could just find evidence of maritime ability, it would almost seem as if Plato might one day be vindicated.

Stone Age Large Ovens
UNTIL now, evolutionists have believed that all earlier people using stone technology 'have eaten meat raw or barbecued over flames or smoked'.However, a site in Japan, dated by evolutionary assumptions at 28,000 years (which would put it in the so-called 'StoneAge') has revealed otherwise. The four-metre deep excavation contained, in addition to many elephant bones left over from human meals, the remains of stone ovens indicating 'a high degree of culinary sophistication'. An education board official in Numazu (west of Tokyo, where the find took place) pointed out that using such stone ovens 'allows you to cook more delicately, without charring the meat'. The Sun-Herald, December 20,1992 (p.23). The Babel incident recorded in Genesis 1-11 would have seen many of the dispersing groups plunged into an 'instant Stone Age 'through loss of metal technology (or loss of its easy availability). However, they would have been as intelligent and resourceful as people alive today.
From Answers In Genesis:
The Evolution of Man?
1. Heidelberg Man - Built from a jaw bone that was conceded by many to be quite human.
2. Nebraska Man - Scientifically built up from one tooth and later found to be the tooth of an extinct pig.
3. Piltdown Man - The jawbone turned out to belong to a modern ape.
4. Peking Man - 500,000 years old. All evidence has disappeared.
5. Neanderthal Man - At the Int'l Congress of Zoology (1958) Dr. A. J. E. Cave Said his examination showed that the famous Neanderthal skeleton found in France over 50 years ago is that of an old man who suffered from arthritis.
6. Cro-Magnon Man - One of the earliest and best established fossils is at least equal in physique and brain capacity to modern man...so what's the difference?
7. Modern Man - This genius thinks we came from a monkey.

SANTA CLARA (AP) — San Francisco's defense has a little inside game of its own going on in practice each week: "Takeaway Thursday."
Force as many turnovers as possible to prepare for more of the same come Sunday. Linebacker NaVorro Bowman claims his unit had nine turnovers during one such session recently — though quarterback Alex Smith begs to differ, calling that number inflated.
The total hardly matters, it's the principle.
"We go out and try to make as few mistakes as we possibly can," Bowman said. "We work on it every single day. We see where we end up and go into the game with that type of mindset."
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh isn't keeping track of turnovers in practice, though he loves the intense competition by his players leading up to games — and he's certainly thrilled that his defense delivered once again with an interception and forced the New York Jets into three lost fumbles in Sunday's 34-0 win at the Meadowlands.
"It's the practice of the fundamentals of recovering footballs, diving on mistakes, clubbing, ripping, jarring the ball loose," Harbaugh said Monday of what goes into the preparation. "They treat each other with a great amount of respect, which I've always admired about our team. They enjoy the competition. It's competitive but not self-centered."
The dominant performance by defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's crew kept the Jets out of the red zone all day, and further established the 49ers (3-1) as one of the NFL's elite teams even after that blip at Minnesota in a 24-13 Week 3 loss.
Harbaugh said the 49ers had prepared for Tim Tebow's signature jump pass even though New York had yet to run it, so San Francisco had no film of the play. In New York's first drive of the second quarter, Tebow completed a 9-yard pass to Dedrick Epps, who wound up fumbling as safety Dashon Goldson forced it and recovered.
It was the first turnover of three in a four-series stretch by the Jets. The Buffalo Bills will try to clean things up in a hurry to avoid another ugly loss Sunday when they visit Candlestick Park. They committed six turnovers and blew a 14-point third-quarter lead in losing 52-28 at home to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Harbaugh's defense will be ready to pounce on any error.
"That was a gem our defense turned in," Harbaugh said, back in the Bay Area for the first time in more than a week after practicing in eastern Ohio ahead of Sunday's game. "Every guy played within the framework of the defense, playing their ace they had individually."
Mark Sanchez threw an interception and lost a fumble. He was sacked by Aldon Smith late in the first half and fumbled, with Justin Smith recovering.
That play gave the 49ers another chance before halftime, and David Akers kicked a 36-yard field goal to make it 10-0.
New York's longest drive was 30 yards — to open the game — and it ended in a punt. Sanchez finished his disappointing day 13 for 29 for 103 yards and an interception with three sacks, and a dismal 39.9 quarterback rating.
"Defensively, we knew how we came and played last week," cornerback Carlos Rogers said. "Coach Vic talked this week and told us to play 49ers ball and play how we should play. Did we imagine a shutout? No, but we finished plays, got turnovers, and got off the field on third down. We got some gifts on defense and we got in the end zone."
Rogers, who shared the team lead with six interceptions last season, recovered a fumble by Santonio Holmes after the receiver's short catch on the first play of the fourth quarter and returned it 51 yards for a touchdown. Holmes injured his foot on the play.
Rogers also recovered another fumble. He scored his first career touchdown off a fumble recovery and third ever.
The 49ers made keeping their defense together a top priority during the offseason. All 11 starters from last season's 13-3 team returned, though linebacker Parys Haralson was lost for the season early last month with a torn left triceps muscle.
The Niners had 38 takeaways during the 2011 regular season to only 10 turnovers. Their plus-28 turnover differential matched the 2010 Patriots for the second-best mark in NFL history since 1941.
This opportunistic defense prides itself on wreaking havoc from every direction, from so many positions and faces. That keeps any offense guessing with so many defenders who can change the momentum just like that.
San Francisco managed its first shutout on the road since Jan. 6, 2002, at New Orleans, limiting the Jets to just 145 total net yards of offense — the Niners' lowest total net yards allowed since giving up only 109 on Jan. 3, 2010, at St. Louis.
"We were able to get pressure on (Sanchez), make his throws hard, and get sacks. I think we did a good job," said Aldon Smith, whose 14 sacks last season were a 49ers rookie record. "After the last game, some people questioned us. We know what we are capable of. We are a good defense that plays well together."

For months now our Global registration has been experiencing issues which caused a lot of our community members to get an "Incorrect Password" system message when they try to log in game. TheAnswer was kind enough to look in to it. He was able to fix a bug in the password algorithm and most of the other glitches we had in our system. Still there are some 1156 accounts that have a bugged password, those could not be fixed so community members that still get the "Incorrect password" system message in game will have to fix it for themselves.
Here is how you fix the "Incorrect Password" system message:
- Close all game clients
- Log on our forums
- Change your password using "pass change"; You can change it to what ever you want , but please try not to use symbols
- Try to log in game
- If it doesn't work, try it one or two more times

For the last few months we have been preparing at KidzVuz for a huge live event for tween girls and their influential moms in NYC. Early on we were very excited to partner with the non-profit, K.I.D.S – Kids in Distressed Situations – and bring them in to the event, and to our KidzVuz users as we launch a new initiative to get tweens more involved in community service for other kids.
And then, this week, Hurricane Sandy hit us here on the East Coast. We are fortunate that our NYC offices are fine. But, for so many thousands of others this is not the case.
Everything K.I.D.S. does is focused on helping kids in "distressed" situations – from domestic abuse, poverty and natural disasters. They leapt into action in the aftermath of Sandy and have been working non-stop to get kids who have lost so much, all the clothes, supplies and materials they will need to survive the next few weeks, be able to go back to school, and to somehow start to piece back together their lives in devastated areas.
Here's how you can help:
To make a new product donation to the K.I.D.S. Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Fund, please visit www.kidsdonations.org.
Agencies in affected communities are in dire need of new apparel, blankets, shoes, toys, baby products and books.
Cash donations can also be made by visiting www.kidsdonations.org . These cash donations are needed to assist with the transportation and distribution efforts needed to move the product to our local partner agencies to serve the victims.
Because of their 10 to 1 system of matching $10 worth of product for every $1 donated, your $10 donation will provide $100 worth of brand new merchandise to victims in need.
You can easily make a donation by texting GIVE 8000 to 80088 to donate $10 to K.I.D.S. on your mobile phone bill.
To make a larger donation, please contact Cristina Morais at 212-279-5493 ext. 204.
Don't feel hopeless – give a kid some hope instead!

Sermon delivered September 14, 2008
Three ministers were talking about prayer in general and the most appropriate and effective positions for prayer. As they were talking, a telephone repairman was working on the phone system on the other side of the room. One minister said that he felt the key was in the hands. He always held his hands together and pointed them upward as a form of symbolic worship. The second suggested that real prayer was conducted on one's knees. The third suggested that they both had it wrong-the only position worth its salt was to pray while stretched out flat on your face. By this time the telephone repairman could not wait any longer to say something. He interjected, "I found that the most powerful prayer I ever made was while I was dangling upside down by my heels from a power pole, suspended fort feet above the ground."
We see in this somewhat humorous story, a truth being told. The power of our prayer does not depend or begin with the posture of our body. Rather, the power of our prayer rests in the urgency of our situation and the resulting fervent desire of our heart. Our posture is often the result of our situation. If we want to get someone's attention, we don't mumble but we raise our voice. We don't lay down but we sit up straight and raise our hand or even stand up. If we are totally dependent on the other for mercy and help, we might bow, kneel or even prostrate ourselves before them. Once we get their attention, we should have something important to say and a sense of urgency must be in our voice. The same is true when we pray to God. If our situation is dire-we are seriously ill or dying, we lost our job, we did something very wrong, our marriage is breaking up, a loved one has died, or similar examples-we need to bring that before the Lord with a sense of "I am in trouble; I am weak; I need Your help; NOW!"
Two thousand years ago, our Lord Jesus Christ hung from a wooden pole—the Cross, except it was no accident. Unfairly accused, arrested and tried in secret with false witnesses against Him, condemned out of jealousy and hatred, Jesus was scourged and nailed to the wood of the Cross and suspended for all to see. Some even mocked Him and others spit upon Him. How did Christ respond to all this degradation? He prays to His Father in Heaven, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:42). Jesus could have easily called twelve legions of angels to come down and destroy all these evil, selfish, ignorant people. He said as much to the apostle Peter who drew his sword and cut off the ear of the slave of the high priest when the crowd came to arrest Jesus (Matthew 26:52-53).
Why didn't Jesus do this? Because He wanted to demonstrate the existence of a greater power than brute force and that is the power of love and forgiveness. He wanted to show us that this power of agape and synchorisis comes from only one source-God the Lord. He wanted to teach us that the only way to tap into this power is through faith and trust in God the Lord. We see this in Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane before His arrest, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me. Nevertheless, not My will but Yours be done" (Luke 22:42).
Jesus Christ calls us to faith in God, through His own example of love, faith and trust in His Father. The Cross is a reminder of this. That's what St. Paul is talking about in today's epistle reading. He says, "We preach Christ crucified…to everyone who is called, it is the power and wisdom of God" (1 Corinthians 1:23-24). So, when we are dangling upside down from our own cross (whether of our own sinful creation or externally imposed through no fault of our own), helpless, in danger of falling to our death at any moment, we arrive at our crisis of faith. Do we believe in God or not? If we do believe, do we trust that He hears and listens to our prayers? More importantly, do we trust in His will? You see, when we fall with faith, God will catch us - either miraculously in this earthly life, saved for another day to do battle against evil and temptation, or in heaven for eternal life with the saints and the holy ones who preceded us. That's what St. Paul means when he says, "The Word of the Cross - foolishness to those who are perishing; but it is the Power of God to those being saved" (1 Corinthians 1:18).
We come to know the Lord Jesus Christ, God the Father and the Holy Spirit, not through wisdom, as the ancient Greeks believed (v.21). Rather, it's the other way around, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge" (Proverbs 1:7). "God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom; God's weakness is stronger than human strength" (1 Corinthians 1:25). So, it is through faith, that we gain understanding. Don't wait to be hanging upside down from a tall cross, to start putting your faith and trust in the Lord. Don't stumble on the path waiting for a miraculous sign or miracle like the ancient Jews (1 Corinthians 1:23). Right now, tonight, tomorrow, and every day from now on, raise your hand, fall to your knees, put your face to the ground and cry out to Christ our God. Bring all your cares and concerns, both large and small, before Him with humility, faith and trust. He hears, He cares, He loves you. He will lift you up and grant you peace. Amen.

January 20th proved to be a perfect day for Logos' annual soup cook-off. In true Pacific Northwest fashion it was a cold and rainy day. The weather did not hamper this year's cook-off though as entrants were excited to participate in not only the first cook-off of 2011, but also the first cook-off held in the recently acquired Flatiron building.
While the 10 entrants prepared their dishes, the aroma of a variety of awesome soups lured hungry employees to line up in anticipation. Ultimately the happy eaters had to vote for their favorites, and it was a close call this year.
After all was said and done, the winners of this year's cook-off were Don and Tara Everett's "Spicy Chicken Sausage Soup." Second place was awarded to Sarah Knepper with her "Pnw'ed Salmon Chowder," and coming in third was Tom Fay with "The Original Ham and Bean Soup."
Here is the recipe for the Everett's award winning soup:
Spicy Chicken Sausage Soup
1 onion, chopped
1 pound of pork sausage
1 pound chorizo
2 average sized chicken breasts
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground pork sausage
6 cloves garlic, diced
2 bay leaves
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 cup chicken broth
2 cans white beans, drained
thyme and sage to taste
- In a large pot, add olive oil and brown pork sausage.
- Break up and add chorizo
- Chop up and add uncooked chicken breasts
- Add garlic and bay leaves
- Add onion
- Add carrots and celery
- Add chicken broth (you can add more broth to taste)
- Add white beans
- Add thyme and sage to taste and let simmer until it's as thick as you want it
- Remove bay leaves
- Enjoy!
Thanks again for everyone who participated and helped create another successful cook-off and congratulations to all the winners!
Today's guest post is by Deborah Mickens, from the Logos Bible Software marketing team.

A first for me is going to Yokohama's big fireworks in Minato Mirai. I went straight there after work armed with my SLR and a change of clothes.
From the moment I got on the train I could tell it would be crowded. I always want to take a picture of a packed train, but it's too hard to take the camera out of my bag. There were people everywhere. Lots of girls in yukata too.
We planned to walk to Yamashita Park for a place to eat, sit, watch and drink, but it seemed we walked in almost a circle to end up near Landmark Tower anyway. At least I finished one of my chu-hi along the way. The fireworks started at 7:15pm.
We found a comfortable place to sit next to the Nippon Maru ship, but a tree was in the way, so we moved along slightly and sat on the wall, with the only obscuring view was the Intercontinental hotel in the way. Still, as you can see I managed to take some nice photos.
I ate some yakiniku-style pork and rice. The grapefruit chu-hi is cheap and nasty, like my women.
I played around with shutter settings to get some neat effects. These would've come out better with a tripod, and without drinking alcohol.
Taking a photo of me pretending to look at fireworks. The Landmark Tower behind me is the tallest building in Japan. Did you know?
The fireworks finished up around 8:30pm as you can see by the clock on the Cosmo Wheel. A couple wearing yukata.
Overall it was a fun little outing. I missed a school party tonight, but I really wanted to catch at least one fireworks show before Summer's end so I think it was definitely worth it. On the train I had my third chu-hi, this time a milder peach-flavoured one to keep me inebriated on the longish trip back home.

Barely a day after Opera 11 Beta was released, Opera Software has launched Opera Mobile 10.1 final for Symbian (Symbian^3, and Symbian S60 3rd and 5th editions). "Powerful smartphones deserve an equally powerful browser," said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. "Opera Mobile 10.1 today brings the best mobile browsing experience to the world's most popular smartphone platform."
Opera 10.1 for Symbian features JIT (just-in-time) compilation for Carakan JavaScript Engine, which is not yet available on Opera Mobile for Android. JIT should significantly boost Opera's JavaScript rendering speed. In fact, Opera is claiming that the latest build is nine times faster than its predecessor on SunSpider benchmark. Like its desktop counterpart, Opera Mobile uses Presto rendering engine and Vega graphics library to offer a powerful web-browsing experience.
Also new in Opera 10.1 is Geolocation, which enables web applications like Maps to directly grab your current location (obviously, with your permission).
Opera Mobile 10.1 retains all the usual goodies we have come to love from Opera, including powerful tabbed browsing, search bar, history, visual speed dial, find in page, bookmarks, online sync, password manager and Opera Turbo. You can download it from opera.com/mobile or by browsing to m.opera.com from your mobile browser.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
If you think PowerPivot and Tabular are good tools but sometime the design tools are not fast/complete/flexible enough, please consider voting this suggestion on Connect to request a textual representation Tabular or PowerPivot Data Models.
This is the simplest way to improve the Productivity of PowerPivot and Tabular users/analysts/designers.
I would like having a simple textual representation of a BISM model, that can be translated back and forth to a XAML representation of the data model (this could be then integrated within Visual Studio, but other development tools might use this language as well).I'd like to write (for Tabular) something like: TABLE Customers ( CustomerKey INTEGER, Name STRING, Weight FLOAT) TABLE Sales ( CustomerKey INTEGER ref Customers[CustomerKey], Quantity INTEGER, Amount CURRENCY) This would be the syntax to keep the functional-style, even if I would prefer a more declarative language such as: TABLE Customers CustomerKey INTEGER Name STRING Weight FLOATEND TABLE TABLE Sales CustomerKey INTEGER ref Customers[CustomerKey] Quantity INTEGER Amount CURRENCYEND TABLE We can discuss about the syntax, but we all know that this can be done, especially for Tabular which has a smaller number of properties to handle if compared to Multidimensional (which could benefit from the same approach, too).The implementation of tools enabling the translation of models to/from this language would be cheaper that writing/improving advanced graphical editors and many other features that you have for free once you have a text file:
This is the single feature for Tabular/PowerPivot with the best ROI that I can imagine.And if Microsoft does not time to implement it… well, at least they could publish a document such as "Tabular Language Draft 1.0" and somebody in the community will implement the necessary translation tools. Having an "official" Language is important, because in this way nobody would spend time on something that could change too much in the future. Are you convinced? Nice! So please, help me in this campaign for a PowerPivot and Tabular textual modeling language.This is the call for action:
Don't wait, do it now!
Not sure if I understand the added value here.
the amount of information to be stored in the model is more than just a table definition.
like translation, folders, additional metadata etc...
so creating another way to represent this is just to move the problem of storing the metadata differently.
an XML storage offers more flexibility than a language.
Microsoft must provides a better DIFF tool to be able to work in a team with tabular, SSAS, SSRS and other XML models.
not just PowerPivot / Tabular is impacted.
So asking MS to do something, yes, changing just the way the model stores the metadata for Tabular, I think its not the right solution.
Jerome: you are right, but since we have a DIFF tool working in text file and we have merge operation working correctly in Visual Studio, this could solve the problem in Tabular and PowerPivot. I am not asking to change the metadata storage for Tabular, I'm asking to define a textual representation of an XML model for humans. The two languages can be translated by a tool, but humans could read and manipulate them in an easy way.
This is still hugely needed. I don't see that the Connect suggestion has gotten any response at all. Does anyone know if there has been progress on this front?
Discussion at conferences with MS PMs, still no official committment.

Nobody has ever accused Julio Lugo of being a math wiz. This was never more evident than a recent quote by Lugo as he is rehabbing his injured ankle. When asked about his performance at the plate on opening day and his 1.000 batting average, he had this to say..
"No, 2.000, baby, I got two hits."
Apparently Lugo thinks he got four hits in those two at bats.

Bangor police issue warning about scam targeting people looking for apartments on Craigslist
BANGOR, Maine (AP) � Bangor police have issued a warning about an apparent scam targeting people looking for apartments advertised on Craigslist.
Police say a woman last week replied to an ad and received a call back from a number that later appeared to be from Nigeria. She told police the man said he wanted the first and last month's rent, but quickly told her that $200 would do if she could send it to him quickly.
Officials say the woman was suspicious and called a real estate agent friend, who told her that he owned the house she had seen on Craigslist but was listing it through a reputable real estate company.
Police say the woman did the right thing by not wiring or charging money to a credit card for the apartment.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Lt. Gov. Brian Calley has signed bipartisan legislation that clarifies election procedures and protects a voter's personal information.
Clerks are prohibited from disclosing the last four digits of a voter's Social Security number for Freedom of Information Act requests.
The new law also set rules for certain petition circulators and clarifies candidate filing deadlines for vacant offices. People who sign a candidate's nominating petition also must write the date and their address.
The bill passed the House in February and the Senate in March.
Monday is the deadline for voter registration for local elections on May 6. Calley signed the bill while Gov. Rick Snyder was out of the country.

Unleashing the inner scientist
28 August 2012
During National Science Week 2012, the Compass program supported the attendance of more than 770 students from eleven of our partner primary schools at Science Unleashed, the Australian Museum's annual science festival. The next generations of young scientists from Bexley, Condell Park, Fairfield, Kogarah, Panania, Revesby South, Villawood East, Wattawa Heights, Wilkins, Yagoona and Athelstane public schools attended the educational and fun-filled event.
The slogan for Science Week in 2012 was 'Ignite Your Imagination', and the museum was packed with interactive activities for students to immerse themselves in while learning more about science. The range of experiences included Astronomy in the Starlab, Paleontology through Puppetry, undersea exploration in the Deep Oceans exhibit and a taste of physics in the Energy, Forces and Motion science show. Students and teachers enjoyed the day and brought back a range of science experiences to discuss in the classroom.
All the primary school students attending Science Unleashed take part in a post-visit lesson provided by Compass volunteers at their school. During the lesson, students are given the opportunity to reflect positively on their science experience and make links to higher education. Click here to learn more about the 3-Phase program.
