Park City • When you're a kid, notes filmmaker David Zellner, "you have a certain kind of logic for how you handle problems, because you're so new to this world. You're being a little scientist, pushing buttons and seeing what directions it goes."
And when you don't have any parental supervision — like the main character, a 10-year-old Texas girl named Annie, in Zellner's drama "Kid-Thing" — it's that much harder.
Lessons in effective parenting have been few and far between in the movies in the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Besides "Kid-Thing," movies at the festival have shown us:
• A Louisiana 6-year-old enduring her ailing father's tough love in "Beasts of the Southern Wild."
• A derelict father (Paul Dano) trying to connect with his estranged 8-year-old daughter in "For Ellen."
• A single dad (Mark Webber) struggling to raise a toddler in "The End of Love."
• An 11-year-old Baltimore kid (Michael Rainey Jr.) along for the ride as his uncle (Common) jumps back into his criminal life in "LUV."
• Japanese teens dealing with big issues with hardly an adult in sight in "About the Pink Sky."
There is a parent in "Kid-Thing," but he's mostly a nonentity — seen more often sleeping off a bender. It's never even clear if he's Annie's dad, or an uncle, or her absent mom's old boyfriend.
The parental situation "would partly explain why she is how she is," said Zellner's brother, Nathan, the movie's cinematographer and producer. "She has this incredible freedom to do what she wants."
That freedom comes at a price. "She doesn't have anyone pointing her moral compass for her," David Zellner said.
Hushpuppy, the Louisiana girl at the center of "Beasts of the Southern Wild," doesn't have that problem. She's "a moral girl, who believes strongly in right and wrong," said director Benh Zeitlin at a Q-and-A after a screening of his film.
Zeitlin and co-writer Lucy Alibar took as their first inspiration a play Alibar wrote, which borrowed from her own childhood. "I grew up in the woods with a wild man for a father," Alibar said.
Watching her father get ill, when she was 18 or 19, was devastating. "The sense of losing a parent," Alibar said, "[is like] the whole universe coming apart."
Woody, the boy in "LUV," watches his universe crumble when he sees how his beloved uncle really makes his money – embroiled in the world of drugs and thugs on Baltimore's meanest streets.
To play Woody, director Sheldon Canlis said he needed "a kid with an old soul." He found that kid in Rainey, making only his second movie. (The first was filmed in Italy and had him speaking Italian.)
Canlis recalled an instance when Michael Rainey's soul really showed through in filming. During one particularly emotional scene, Canlis and crew were filming at 5 a.m. and brought Michael onto the set when the child had been sleeping for 90 minutes in a van. Canlis asked Rainey, "Can you be emotionally vulnerable? Can you get there? He said [in a low voice] 'yes.' " And he nailed it.

NBC's lineup has been one of the most chaotic this week with all their cancelations, but I think it's going to be for the best in the end. Believe and Sean Saves the World both have great casts, and hopefully great writing, so I'm looking forward to them most. Unfortunately I will likely miss watching the premieres this fall because I usually work nights at DISH so I won't be home. Thankfully don't have to be home to watch TV anymore because I can watch during my lunch break using the DISH Anywhere app on my iPad. It can stream live TV, or the recorded shows from my DVR, to my iPad anywhere I go with internet access.
More episodes of Grimm and The Parenthood please. Grimm only 22 and The Parenthood what 12? More please!

In the lead-up to the opening of HealthCare.gov on Oct. 1, President Barack Obama and his aides often made analogies to other Internet sites where people can comparison-shop for products. When the federal site had initial problems, he made the analogy to tech-product glitches. On Thursday, Mr. Obama abandoned those analogies and conceded that picking a health-insurance plan is a lot different from the kinds of things most people buy online. Read More »

The Anaheim Historical Society recently marked the 35th anniversary of its founding in 1976 by two inspired neighbors, Andrew Deneau and Diann Marsh. Since then the AHS has been committed to preserving and protecting our city's history for future generations.
The AHS was incorporated in May 1978 as a California non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of local history and fostering community pride through the knowledge of those that came before.
Two of Anaheim's significant historical buildings were nominated by AHS to the National Register of Historic Places. Anaheim's first "skyscraper", the 1925 Samuel Kraemer Building and the Anaheim Public Library building, a gift from Andrew Carnegie in 1908. The Society has published several books and has hosted occasional Historic Home Tours to showcase Anaheim's existing architectural treasures. Special events spotlighting a variety of local historical subjects are planned each year.
We hope you become a member of the Anaheim Historical Society and show your commitment to preserving our city's very unique history, the people, events, architecture and works of art that define our past, and continue to shape our future.

Cheap, Delicious Banks
Matt is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Fool Kevin Chen has an article up on Fool.com looking at a trio of banking metrics in an effort to divine whether banking stocks are a buy today. A big fan of analogies, this jumped out at me:
At a [price-to-book] ratio of 1.03, investors are paying for just $1.03 for every dollar of [Huntington Bancshares (Nasdsaq: HBAN)] book value. That's like paying a baker $1.03 for a pie that cost $1 to make.
Well, sort of. Right now -- at least if you ask most investors -- it's like paying $1.03 for a pie that may have rotten fruit baked into it. The pie may seem like a great deal, but then you dig in and get a mouthful of sour mush. More striking examples of this "spoiled pie" analogy are Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) and Citigroup (NYSE: C), whose pies are on the "must go NOW" rack at about $0.49 and $0.56, respectively.
Not that I necessarily agree with that prevailing view. In fact, I think the fears are likely overblown. So to stretch Kevin's already-stretched simile in one more direction, Huntington is like paying $1.03 for a $1 pie that's going to get up off its lazy pie rear end and bake you more pies. Or just pay you cash (Huntington has a 2.6% dividend).

One song into the headliner appearance by Streetlight Manifesto, the moshing crowd apparently caused the floor to buckle. The band will return in November to the Town Ballroom. No injuries, and no word on the fate of upcoming shows at the venue. Here's an instagram picture of the floor, put out by the group's tour manager.

Even though me and her watch the movie and get a little Iffy….. the movie is still a VERY deep and great movie. It's divided in 3 parts Heaven,Earth and Hell, for the purpose of how their lives in the movie goes. The movie shows you the lives of a Junkie and a Aspiring artist, until Candy (Dan's girlfriend) wants to try what Dan does … (Heroine) after that the movie just spirals out of control their lives are ruined but they go through alot and not only are you watching these characters go through it ….. but you FEEL for them. when a movie actually DRAWS you into the character where you FEEL for the character you FEEL their struggle you FEEL for their PAIN and ANGUISH and also STRUGGLE…… it just goes to show you how great of a movie it is. I HIGHLY recommend you watch it with someone that means alot to you …… you realize a few things while watching it . now me and Brii are just waiting on our Disney movies to come in the mail right now either today or tommorow hopefully today , then going to watch Spider-man 3 (which is my FAVORITE) then either laying down for the rest of the day ? or doing something ….who knows ! still got alot more time for today ! talk to you later Tumblr's

Career Information
Careers in the Field of Investigation & Enforcement
Graduates of the Investigation and Enforcement Skills Certificate Program have gone on to careers as provincial government investigators and private investigators. There are a number of professionals who work for government (municipal, provincial and federal), crown corporations, professional associations and in private industry who monitor for compliance, conduct inspections and investigations, and perform some enforcement functions.
Provincial Government Opportunities
In British Columbia there are in excess of thirty government and quasi-government agencies which have Designated Enforcement Officer status (formerly known as Special Provincial Constables) under the BC Police Act. This means that personnel have limited peace officer status to enforce statutes specific to their position. Examples include:
- Conservation Officers
- Commercial Transport Inspectors
- ICBC Special Investigations Unit
- SPCA Animal Control and Cruelty
- CN and CP Rail Police
- MHR Fraud Investigators
- BC Gaming Branch
- Ministry of Justice Consumer Services
- BC Securities Commission
For information on positions within the BC government, check the government postings web site.
Federal Government Opportunities
Many federal bodies have staff whose role it is to monitor public and private agencies to ensure compliance with various legal statutes. Examples include Canada Border Services, Canada Coast Guard, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and Transportation Safety Board Inspectors. For information on positions within the federal government, check the federal government postings website.
Municipal Government Opportunities
At the local level, the majority of municipalities have staff who investigate offences ranging from building code violations to unlicensed businesses.
Professional Associations
Most large professional associations have professional investigators on staff to investigate alleged breaches of professional standards and public complaints. Examples include:
- BC Medical Association
- BC Law Society
- BC Teachers Federation
Private Industry
Many large corporations will have full time investigators on staff that are responsible for internal security issues, loss prevention (shoplifting) and complex fraud investigations.
Private Investigator
To be a Private Investigator in BC, you must be licensed by the Ministry of Justice, Security Programs. For specific details on licensing, please contact the Ministry of Justice General Security Programs.
Skills for Entering the Workforce
According to the Conference Board of Canada report Employability Skills 2000, the critical skills workers need now as they enter or progress in the workforce include communication, problem solving, positive attitudes and behaviours, adaptability, working with others, and science, technology and mathematics skills. While several of these skills are covered to varying to degrees in the Investigation and Enforcement Skills Certificate Program, our program is like all others in that no one program can possibly teach all these skills at any one time. All students are encouraged to identify and seek out opportunities where they can continuously add to their personal inventory of knowledge, skills and competencies. Investigative work, like any field, requires a commitment to life-long learning.

Egypt: Taba blasts have minimal effects on tourism
Egypt's Minister of Tourism, Ahmed El Maghrabi, denied reports that the number of tourists visiting Egypt declined following the October 7 attacks on the Hilton Hotel in Taba.
There has only been a 5 percent decrease since then and all reports claiming otherwise are "void of truth," he said at a recent meeting with tourism editors. "The cancellations were only in the Sinai areas of Taba and Nuweiba", he elaborated.
But the Taba attacks, however, influenced the expected rates of growth of the Egyptian tourist activity, dropping from the expected 17 percent to 15 or 16 percent," he noted.
"Undoubtedly, attacks such as these influence tourist traffic to the area, where they happened, but the serious attempts to capture the culprits and the swift action to contain the negative repercussions of such an act, have managed to keep the problem from turning into a crisis," he said.
The October 7 attacks killed 34 and injured 120, including many Israelis. (menareport.com)

A majority of enterprises have migrated to Windows 7 or are planning to do so. But for Windows XP holdouts ready to side-step Windows 7 for the upcoming Windows 8 OS, you are risking a gap in support, stresses research firm Gartner in a new "first take" analysis of Windows 8 migration in the enterprise.
Gartner analysts Michael A. Silver, David W. Cearley, and Stephen Kleynhans acknowledge that for organizations running late with Windows 7 it is tempting to forego the OS altogether, but with support for Windows XP ending in April 2014, organizations would be cutting it close.
[ See InfoWorld's Windows 8 preview visual tour. | Galen Gruman outlines how Microsoft may finally be making Windows winners. | Get all the details you need on deploying and using Windows 7 in the InfoWorld editors' 21-page Windows 7 Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay abreast of key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
Microsoft has not announced a general release date for Windows 8, but Gartner believes the company may target back-to-school buyers in 2012 -- in which case, the RTM (release to manufacturing) of Windows 8 would likely start around April 2012, a date that would allow general availability by midyear 2012.
"Even if Microsoft meets that very aggressive timeline, independent software vendors and enterprises will likely need nine to 18 months to obtain and test supported applications and plan deployments," the Gartner report states. "That means that most organizations would not be able to start deploying Windows 8 until the end of 2013."
And five or six months after that, Windows XP goes off life support.
At its Build developer conference this month, Microsoft unveiled the Developer Preview version of Windows 8, revealing details about the Metro "tile-based" UI, the compatibility with Windows 7 applications, the ease of building Windows 8 apps, and the different devices and form factors that Windows 8 will run on.
Microsoft has focused more on what Windows 8 means for developers and consumers than it has for IT departments. But in an interview, Rich Reynolds, GM for Windows Commercial Marketing, emphasized Windows 8 enterprise security and networking improvements over the well-received Windows 7. And then there is the tablet factor. Windows 8 will run on all the hardware that Windows 7 runs on, plus it will utilize ARM-based chips to run on lower-powered devices like tablet PCs, a market now dominated by the iPad and one that will become more important to enterprises as employees increasingly depend on personal devices for work purposes.
Some examples of new or enhanced enterprise features in Windows 8, according to Microsoft's Reynolds: More efficient use of Direct Access, a networking feature in Windows 7 that lets mobile workers connect to corporate networks without the use of a VPN; BitLocker encryption is streamlined in Windows 8 so that only sectors of the hard drive that contain data will be encrypted and will do the task while you are working; in addition, Windows 8 will introduce a feature called Secure Boot, which prevents malware from booting up before the OS boots up.

When I see an airplane, flying high.. In the sky..
At night: dusk mostly.
I think of, childhood: husking corn, the fake green grass up the stairs, digging into my legs. Paper bags. Pa: his hair. His deep blue eyes looking up, into the sun, as it slowly made it's way down below the trees.
Airplanes flashed through. JFK-> EWR.. EWR-> LGA.. LGA back to EWR.
Back and forth. Back and forth.
The small red dot. Blinking across the sky, Red.. White.. Red.. White.
Back and forth. Back and forth.
My eyes grew heavy. Click, click, click.
My head fell as I was lifted into the night.
When I see an airplane.. Flying high.

In the two inspections the market had in 2012, and its most recent inspection in January, workers from the state's Department of Agriculture and Markets slapped the Key Food market with critical violations, deemed health hazards, leading to failed inspections. Most recently, the store failed due to dirty cutting boards that had food residue caked in the scoring marks and having a hot food holding unit that wasn't reaching a high enough temperature. The market was also cited for 29 general deficiencies, not considered health risks, for issues related store cleanliness, among others.

Shaun and I just returned from a trip to the Steens Mts and the Alvord Desert. Though we've both been to the Steens a dozen times over the past 20 years, neither of us had ventured down to the Alvord Desert so easily visible from the summit.
We spent the first, very cold night at Fish Lake. After that we packed up and headed to the top where we hiked in to our usual spot and camped next to Wildhorse Lake. The next day we packed up, hiked out and headed down the mountain to drive around to the desert side.
There's a great place to stop for a burger and a milshake called the Fields Station. The cook there talked us out of the double burgers thankfully.
We stopped mid afternoon for a soak at the Alvord hot springs and were soon joined by a whole crew of guys who had just ridden quads over from Bend on dirt roads.
After that, we headed to Mann lake to camp for the night. We met a fisherman from Bend named Steve, who was camping in the most awesome Dodge camper van decorated with pink flamingos and violet lights. We shared some great stories and some of his smoked salmon. It was a very windy night and we likely slept better than he did as the wind shook his van pretty steadily through the night.
The next morning after a beautiful sunrise, we headed back across the state. Amazing trip, new adventures and a few things to revisit for sure.
If you didn't already notice, that's a pumpkin beer. The first taste has a really smooth traditional lager vibe, but once that passes, a wave of pumpkin pie flavor lingers. Cool.
We had a fantastic Sunday. Attended the worship service at Imago Dei Community and saw lots of good friends, met up at Russel St BBQ with some of them for lunch and then spent the evening at the Hotchkiss's house to listen to Dr. Garry Friesen read a couple chapters of The Magician's Nephew.

My son attended preschool at Ames for the 2009-2010 school year. My son is very intelligent, however; he's twice as shy. Mrs. Black gradually helped him work up his confidence without forcing him, she was very supportive and patient. Her preschool class consisted of kids with various skills and abilities, and she masterfully ensured that every child was challenged regardless of their level. She was always grateful having parents in the classroom whether they stay for the whole day, or just drop in for a little bit. Parents were always kept up to date with current class events and she was approachable if there ever were questions. She truly is an excellent teacher, worthy of being commended. We aren't so fortunate now that we are in San Diego. We miss her and the school environment at Ames. We just can't seem to get that here.
This is a small community school with small classes. The kids learn so much.. Each person that works at this school cares greatly for the students. And the Dr. Henderson is an AMAZING PRINCIPAL!
I have three children that attended Ames this past year (2005-2006). All three were on a different level of achievement - struggling reader, just average, and gifted and talented, and I didn't think any school was capable of leveling the playing field between them Ames changed all of that! The entire school works together as one big family. Students are encouraged to help each other and the community, and parents are welcome to sit in on classes at any time. The entire staff contributes to the growth and development of the students. Cultural, political, and environmental awareness is implemented at all levels, and it's getting better every year! At the end of the school year, I had two gifted and talented students, and my former struggling reader is on his way to an excellent junior high school. Next year, Ames will challenge its students more than before! Ames Aims High!

Roxy Hibiscus Pant - Girls'
Nice pant, nice fit, nice price.
I bought these pants in black for my 12-year-old daughter; she wore them for 2 weeks of ski, and sledding over the holidays and no complaints. She likes the side tabs at the waist for a slimmer fit, and the fact that they're not too bulky. The temps were below freezing and she was never cold.

Topic - why are the best footballers so short..?
no_more_scotch_eggs - on 11 Dec 2012
The messi thread got me thinking: if you take a list of great footballers, they wouldn't exactly be pushing for inclusion in a basketball team
Maradona, puskas, pele, gerd muller, jimmy Johnson, George best, romario, xavi, iniesta and messi are all the short side of 5'9"
Presumably its to do with a low centre of gravity allowing rapid shifts in direction and close control
Does the British tendency to focus on physical attributes like height and strength put us at a disadvantage in international competitions? Leading to our lumbering trolls in defence having rings run round them...?
(Especially in Scotland, where we aren't exactly a nation of giants...)

Maximizing the yield of any crop is a challenge, but soybeans are in a class by themselves. There are a couple of reasons for the yield challenge.
Reason one: "Unlike corn, soybeans respond more to the environment than to management," says Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie. "That means you can't fix a fertility problem in one season, simply by applying extra nitrogen, phosphorus or potas-sium, as you can with corn. For
top yield, you have to maintain a balanced soil fertility profile, from pH to micronutrients."
Reason two: Problem areas within a field, whether caused by fertility or other factors, are difficult to identify. "In corn, if you see stunting and discoloring during the vegetative stages, there's a good chance it will show up on a yield map," Ferrie says. "You can go to that area after harvest, pull soil samples and track down the cause."
The nature of soybeans makes it difficult to get a good yield map. Soybeans often bounce back from stunting and slow growth, so symptoms go away. Separating out management zones in a yield map is hard because they only fluctuate a few bushels across a field.
As a result, problem areas in soybean fields often lie undiscovered, getting more serious by the year. When you finally do discover them, fixing them may take several more years.
You can't change soybeans' cantankerous nature. But you can prevent minor problems from becoming serious. Doing so will set the stage for a bumper bean yield when Mother Nature bestows ideal growing conditions.
Detect deficiencies. Spotting problem areas is the first step in fixing them—but the nature of soybean plants can make that difficult.
Some problems are easy to see. "For example, no-till soybeans sometimes look tough early, especially to first-time no-tillers," Ferrie says. "But the beans grow out of it—there's really no reason to till for soybeans. Another problem that's easy to spot is iron chlorosis. There are other problems that are harder to spot."
The way to identify the problem areas is by using NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) mapping. NDVI maps are made from aerial photos based on near-infrared and red light reflected by the plants. Maps made during the course of the growing season visually depict changes in plant health. You can spot problems before soybean plants mask them, whether the cause is fertility, nematodes, disease, insects or drainage.
"One place we use NDVI maps is to manage soil pH," Ferrie says. "Sometimes we find fields that have pockets of high-pH soil located within another soil type. The pH reading in the pocket may be as high as 7.3 or 7.4, while the rest of the field is acid.
probably would not have shown
up in a conventional yield map.
"In the past, farmers often would avoid liming that field to avoid making the problem area even more alkaline. But using an NDVI map to select soil test locations, along with variable-rate application technology, you can make pH uniform across the entire field."

Two important subproblems of computer vision are the detection and recognition of 2D objects in gray-level images. This book discusses the construction and training of models, computational approaches to efficient implementation, and parallel implementations in biologically plausible neural network architectures. The approach is based on statistical modeling and estimation, with an emphasis on simplicity, transparency, and computational efficiency.
The Simulation of Adaptive Behavior Conference brings together researchers from ethology, psychology, ecology, artificial intelligence, artificial life, robotics, computer science, engineering, and related fields to further understanding of the behaviors and underlying mechanisms that allow adaptation and survival in uncertain environments.
The goal of neurotechnology is to confer the performance advantages of animal systems on robotic machines. Biomimetic robots differ from traditional robots in that they are agile, relatively cheap, and able to deal with real-world environments. The engineering of these robots requires a thorough understanding of the biological systems on which they are based, at both the biomechanical and physiological levels.
The effort to explain the imitative abilities of humans and other animals draws on fields as diverse as animal behavior, artificial intelligence, computer science, comparative psychology, neuroscience, primatology, and linguistics. This volume represents a first step toward integrating research from those studying imitation in humans and other animals, and those studying imitation through the construction of computer software and robots.
Remote-controlled robots were first developed in the 1940s to handle radioactive materials. Trained experts now use them to explore deep in sea and space, to defuse bombs, and to clean up hazardous spills. Today robots can be controlled by anyone on the Internet. Such robots include cameras that not only allow us to look, but also go beyond Webcams: they enable us to control the telerobots' movements and actions.
By the mid-1980s researchers from artificial intelligence, computer science, brain and cognitive science, and psychology realized that the idea of computers as intelligent machines was inappropriate. The brain does not run "programs"; it does something entirely different. But what? Evolutionary theory says that the brain has evolved not to do mathematical proofs but to control our behavior, to ensure our survival. Researchers now agree that intelligence always manifests itself in behavior—thus it is behavior that we must understand.
Animal-like robots are playing an increasingly important role as a link between the worlds of biology and engineering. The new, multidisciplinary field of biorobotics provides tools for biologists studying animal behavior and testbeds for the study and evaluation of biological algorithms for potential engineering applications. This book focuses on the role of robots as tools for biologists.
Modeling and implementing dynamical systems is a central problem in artificial intelligence, robotics, software agents, simulation, decision and control theory, and many other disciplines. In recent years, a new approach to representing such systems, grounded in mathematical logic, has been developed within the AI knowledge-representation community.
"Manipulation" refers to a variety of physical changes made to the world around us. Mechanics of Robotic Manipulation addresses one form of robotic manipulation, moving objects, and the various processes involved—grasping, carrying, pushing, dropping, throwing, and so on. Unlike most books on the subject, it focuses on manipulation rather than manipulators. This attention to processes rather than devices allows a more fundamental approach, leading to results that apply to a broad range of devices, not just robotic arms.
This text covers all the material needed to understand the principles behind the AI approach to robotics and to program an artificially intelligent robot for applications involving sensing, navigation, planning, and uncertainty. Robin Murphy is extremely effective at combining theoretical and practical rigor with a light narrative touch.

• Ramon Sessions is the Bobcats' backup point guard because D.J. Augustin no longer wanted to be, turning down a contract extension.

• Gerald Henderson's shooting turned around dramatically Tuesday and Wednesday after he couldn't seem to make a shot in the season's first three games.
• Seemed to be next to no one in Time Warner Cable Arena at tip-off. The Bobcats have always struggled to sell midweek games, and the Raptors are a less than star-quality opponent.
• The pogo stick performance at halftime was pretty entertaining. Glad the NBA has come up with some new acts. It got tired for a while around the league.

LA Kings trade Simon Gagne back to Philadelphia
Updated: February 26, 2013, 6:42 PM ETAssociated Press
The Los Angeles Kings traded Simon Gagne back to the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday for a conditional draft pick, sending the struggling left wing back to the city where he had his greatest NHL success.
Gagne spent his first 10 NHL seasons with the Flyers, but won his first Stanley Cup title last season in Los Angeles after a late-playoff return from a concussion. He hasn't scored a goal in 11 games this season for the Kings, who decided the veteran didn't fit in coach Darryl Sutter's system.

This is staggering in it's scale and detail. Fabulous work!
Schwarzkreuz, this is awesome! The mountains, the cities & ruins, the whole thing. Yeah, the trees could use more randomness, but that's no biggie.
I understand leaving some odd stuff in place for nostalgia's sake. But your river issues look fixable. For the basics of river paths, see these threads by Redrobes and by Midgardsormr.
If your former sea basins are all (or mostly?) sand, you need to figure what would happen to rivers on the former land areas, when they fall into the sandseas. It would be believable for the bottomlands to be hotter than the uplands, and for rivers to evaporate or soak in once they descend in some pretty awesome waterfalls. Which would no doubt be fun to draw, by the way !
A few pointers - consider these as realism-suggestions from someone who couldn't do what you've drawn in a hundred years! To the northwest of Mare Alba Ras you have what looks like a delta.
<rats - it's not letting me insert these inline... refer to RiverFix1.jpg below>
Now, I'm not totally sure of your scale, but I'd say the biggest island is unlikely. The red-circled split would not be in place long-term -- the water would go one way or the other, not both. But if you detached the eastern branch something like the green route, during flood times the dotted line might connect the two watercourses - it just wouldn't be permanent. Actually, a dotted line there would be pretty clear - it would typically mean a seasonal or intermittent route. The green circle island might be okay, particularly since any map is generalized, not showing every last branch. The yellow-circled islands are mighty big, but could be believable if the land there is very flat. Again - their extent might best be thought of as cut by many, many additional passages.
To the southwest of Mare Alba Ras is a major river that could use help.
< refer to RiverFix2.jpg below>
I'm assuming you intend it to flow northwards - that is from interior of the continent to the edge, which is usual. One way to remember how two streams join is that they will more often form a Y, than a T. And the angle where the two come together will be acute, and will point downstream. A FEW could join at a right angle and still look right. But a tributary will almost never come in angled upstream. I marked the okay joins with green angles - see how they make the direction clear? The yellow circles are the iffy ones. The red circles mark most of the outright unlikely ones; I sketched in green the kind of tweak that would make them work like real rivers. Right in the middle the biggest red circle marks an unlikely split and rejoin - something that happens seldom. Small islands midstream - sure. Immense ones 30 - 50 - 100 miles long - rarely would form and stay in place. Always one channel will eventually win out. All you would have to do is detatch the upstream connection like I show in green. You show the river dwindle as it reaches the coast. It rather ought to be broadest there, like my sketched extension.
This third snippet has only a few real problems.
< refer to RiverFix3.jpg below>
Like the last one, it probably ought to reach the ocean - your linework makes it look like it dwindles to nothing. It won't cross the coastal hills, but like the example path I show it could snake through a gap. The OK tributary joins I show as green angles - pointing downstream. The yellow ones are iffy - at pretty much right angles, a few would be OK. The small red circle has two backwards-looking tributary joins, with corrections suggested in green. Sure, at this scale the river linework is many, many times the width of a real river, and within that "2-mile-wide" bank line, there's room for the tributary streams to turn and do a proper join. But the cartographer's job is to generalize enough to make the result look right as well as be a decent representation of ground-truth.
The fourth bit has to be viewed before the forests to make sense.
< refer to RiverFix4.jpg below>
The river network itself is almost all right - breaking the four spots I have circled would make it obey the "rivers join downstream but do not branch downstream" rule. A few of the joins slant "backward" - can you see those, based on the earlier examples? The aspect of this river system that borders on implausibility is that those sources near opposite coasts don't have visibile high ground to drain from. the broad yellow lines are where there has to be enough height to force water away from the very nearby coast, and across to the opposite one. Granted, there don't even have to be hills - cliffs at the shore and a gradual slope inland would do it. In that case you could tweak at least the near shore to show a steep rise above what I think you're calling a sand sea? The far coast is harder to symbolize <shrug> ... once the forest is placed it's pretty hard to see enough to feel bad about anyway, there :-). The yellow circle I'm just not getting. One source on the mountainside would not split into two. And the "dwindling into desert" explanation would take some more symbology of some sort to work. Is that kind of what you intend?
Ummmm - I don't suppose you intend that river there to run under the mountain? If you do, then a more prominent dotted line to connect them is in order, or even little symbolized "tunnel openings". If not, then you may want to shift one a little to keep them from lining up.
This last one I'm not sure how to fix.
< refer to RiverFix5.jpg below>
It depends on what you intend. Scraps of river don't just "happen", and die out. In extraordinary circumstances one can have a river dwindle into a desert, or into salt flats/ marsh area. And I know it would be tough to symbolize a gradual shallow basin in the middle of this continent. Is that what you intend for the yellow areas I indicate? If so, what you show is not effective. Think: where's the water come from? Or why doesn't the sea fill the interior if it's low? I would expect the middle of the continent to be at least a little above sea level, so the green arrows are places I would expect outflow. If you do want to show something entering a desert or basin and vanishing, intermittent-stream dotted lines might work. You could even get away with just connecting the east end of that northern isolated network to the little lake near my arrow. Use dotted lines at several places if you like - as an example, these days N. America's Rio Grande and Colorado rivers pretty much vanish before they hit the oceans, BUT in occasional flood time there would definitely be flow all the way to the sea.
If that northern set of channels does flow eastward, there's a few wrong-way connections to tweak the angle of.
If your whole world is drying up there's just less moisture around to make rain in the first place. Even though you don't have to figure a full system of cliamte and weather and winds and ocean currents, you might ought to think about what would encourage deserts, or what would form rivers.
The sand sea idea is delightful. I take it that's what is happening at the east end of Oceanus Desperae? Thing is, it looks there like the original shore has been lifted, rather than the sea level falling -- otherwise you'd get either shoreline cliffs all over the place, or some kind of indication worldwide that the coasts used to be farther inland.
Like I said - there's nothing wrong with this map that isn't easily fixable. And there's so much right with it that I'm not going to wait til it is done to give you some rep: very nicely done!
This is staggering in it's scale and detail. Fabulous work!
Thank you jbgibson for your huge amount of help there, and thanks to all who like my map. I am very sorry I didnt finished it by now. It all got me so depressed that I couldnt touch it since end of October. You guys now, Its a Map that I worked on for 2 decades now, as a little kid I invented lots of the areas and so on. But all the things that went wrong at the time making these grande edition of the map depressed and freaked me out. I will work on it again now, just found a trunk full of my old maps at the holydays at my parents place, my old room. So I am about to adding new stuff. And finalize it now.
This is an outstandingly fantastic map! I love hand drawn maps the most, so pleasing to the eye.
Great work! I can't wait to see the finished version!

Thank, I try my best
Just now peeped your thumbnail from October with the Mountains as I was delving into this thread, that alone was rep worthy. Great work. Thanks.

It looks fantastic, BlackCross ... I love how the map is *just* 2.5 GB heavy at present

Palestinian president urges armed groups to stop attacks on Israel
Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas issued a stern warning to armed factions on Saturday, saying he would not tolerate any further internal fighting or violations of a calm with Israel.
Abbas, in a televised speech to the Palestinian people, called on armed groups to reaffirm their commitment to the "calm" that he agreed with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in a summit earlier this year. "Our agreement on calm was done for the high Palestinian interest. We will not allow anyone to violate it," Abbas said, adding that such actions could undermine Israel's withdrawal from Gaza Strip.
He said Israel was using such attacks as a pretext for a military crackdown in Palestinian areas. Abbas said anyone involved in clashes with Palestinian security forces would be brought to justice, calling it a "big crime that will not pass without punishment." "Palestinian blood is holy and shedding it is a red line," he said.

Obituary: Sue Mallick
Date: December 4, 2012
by: Observer Staff
Sue Mallick, 90, of Sarasota and formerly of Longboat Key, died Nov. 18.
Born in the Belgian Congo to Methodist missionaries, she was educated in Arkansas and graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1941 from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, where she was a Kappa Kappa Gamma member.
Mrs. Mallick taught for two years before earning a master's degree from William and Mary's School of Social Work at The Richmond Professional Institute in Richmond, Va. She went on to become a field director of Girl Scouts in Pittsburgh, where, in 1945, she met her husband, U.S. Navy Capt. Edgar Mallick, on a blind date. They married six weeks later and had three children.
The family lived in many homes across the United States and Far East. She often taught school in the locations where her husband was stationed overseas.
Mrs. Mallick was co-founder and owner of The Gourmet's Cup, the first coffee house in Annapolis, Md. After seven years, she sold her interest to take a 100-day University of Pittsburgh semester-at-sea voyage around the world with her husband on the USS Universe.
Locally, Mrs. Mallick served as president of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Alumni Association of Sarasota and Manatee counties.
Mrs. Mallick is survived by her husband, Edgar, of Sarasota; children Kathryn Nissly, of Lancaster, Pa., Susan Stevenson, of Orlando, and Dr. Edgar Mallick Jr., of Annapolis; eight grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
A memorial service is tentatively planned for spring 2013.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to First Presbyterian Church, 171 Duke of Gloucester Street, Annapolis, Md., 21401; or Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, P. O. Box 38, Columbus, Ohio, 43216.

I went to the Korean grocery store a few days ago and bought some gochujang. I just made some bibim guksu and it tastes a lot spicier than it did with my last container of gochujang.
I don't know any Korean so I just kind of guess when I buy things lol. Are there different levels of spicy for gochujang?
I took a picture of the one I bought. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could look at it and tell me if I bought a spicier one (if that is possible). If i did, what should I look for on the container to mark it as mild for next time? Thank you =)

I love fashion, but I love teaching others about it even more.
That's how I became a freelance Fashion Stylist and delved into the creative world of personal styling.
I started off as a newspaper journalist, writing about everything from crime to music. But it was fashion writing that captured my heart. Before long, I was styling photo shoots and offering fashion advice to readers.
Now, I'm an editorial and personal stylist. Everyday, I express myself through photo styling or help others rediscover themselves through their sense of style.
This is my true passion and life's work.

Here at The Hoopla we're aware that as you age, being strong (both physically and mentally) is more important than being 'skinny'.
As we get older, our muscle mass and bone density deteriorate, so it's important to eat a protein-rich diet and do strength and conditioning exercise to ward off osteoporosis and lifestyle disease, support metabolism and keep our energy levels up.
Protein in the right dose is your body's best friend.
It provides the building blocks for muscles and bones, replenishes the body's cells and aids muscle recovery - vital factors in ensuring your body and mind are as strong as they can be.
