AREA 64 Garden Park (36 x 35 ) x 4 Lots
SecretMbr_735754 posted a file in Lots
Version 1.0.0
201 DownloadsThese lots are the largest that can be built. They are parks made up of grass textures which may be landscaped, tree-planted, and gardened with MMPs and flora to create your own fresh-air generating, health and well-being facilitating, wilderness in the city. There are 3 versions using a set of base textures made for this project, and 1 version using the standard grass area 1x1 park in Maxis. Also included are a set of 6 grass base textures and 1x1 grass area lots with more pollution reduction and park effect. No Dependencies: There are no external dependencies. The base texture file is included in the zip file download. 🌎 4 Versions of the Park Include: Ɵ AREA 64 Ecology. Found in the Parks Menu. Based on the Zoo Reward, provides maximum Park Effect over 100 tiles. Ɵ AREA 64 Energy. Found in the Power Menu and providing 25x wind power. Ɵ AREA 64 Education. Found in the Education Menu and providing a School EQ boost 5x the science museum. Ɵ AREA 64 Transit Found in the Parks Menu and providing a transit capacity of 1200 in one corner of the lot. All lots are transit and network enabled, reduce pollution significantly, and have minimal maintenance cost. These lots will moderately impact game speed, it is recommended that only 1 be used in any city, but all 4 may be used safely. Why are These Lots Called AREA 64? The maximum number of props allowed on a lot is 1280, including base and overlay textures, so although Lot Editor will allow you to build a lot as large as 64 x 64 with 4096 base textures, when you plop the lot on a city tile it will be missing (4096 - 1280), or 2816 base textures. The largest lot that can be built that fits into the 1280 limit is 36 x 35 which equals 1260 base textures. A 36 x 36 sized lot will have 1296 textures and will be missing 16. So, the actual largest lot you can build is 36 x 35, but you can only add 16 props to bring the total to the limit of 1280. Lot tiles are 16 meters wide and there are 64 of them wide in a small city adding up to 1024 meters or about 1 km. A medium city is 128 squares or about 2 km wide (2,048 meters). The large city, doubled in size again, is 256 x 16 = 4,096, just over 4 km wide. Given all the above our mega-lot is (36 x 16) x (35 x 16), factored as (576 x 560) square meters (322,560) which is about equal to one-third of a square kilometer or about one-fifth of a square mile (128 acres). If a football field is about 1 acre, and a city block is about 2 acres, our mega-lot is (128/2) about the size of 64 city blocks! The size of 'AREA 64' is about the same percentage of conservation area (23%) defined under the principle of 'Sustainable Development' as established in 1987. In SC4, placing this lot in the center of a large tile and populating it with flora will somewhat demonstrate the principle according to the game dynamics. The Blue Marble (photograph) Credit: NASA The 'Blue Marble' is an iconic photograph of Earth taken at about 29,000 kilometres away on December 7, 1972, by the crew of Apollo 17 on their way to the moon. The image is used often in conservation presentations and has been made into a base texture and used to make the color-coded menu icons for 'AREA 64'. Forest and Field Base Textures: (included) The base textures are compliant with the BSC Texture Index at SC4 Devotion. To make your own, request and use a unique personal Texture ID Range at SC4D. The Forest and Field Base Textures .dat file may be used freely for content creation as long as reference is made to prevent duplication and potential conflicts in the game software.

What's your favourite energy power source?
iretnac posted a topic in SimCity (2013) General DiscussionAs title. I always end building a nuclear power plant, for huge amount of clean energy... but I hate living with anxiety of an earthquake, a monster or other thing like that. I had a nuclear meltdown and it was terrible... So I was wondering what's your favourite solution for energy when it comes to build a big city. Thank you guys

Vertical wind turbines
IL. posted a file in SimCity 4 Buildings
1,600 DownloadsThose wind turbines produce about 200-300. They cost between 2000 and 3000. They make no noise pollution, so you can place them in your town, or in your no highrise cities. There are two versions, an urban lot, and a suburban lot (as in the pictures). Sadly they don't have an animation. I hope you like it.
Krark Nuclear Power Plant
hdorriker posted a file in SimCity 4 Buildings
5,118 DownloadsAnd you thought Dr.Vu was evil? This facility makes area 5.1 look like a charity soup-kitchen run by nunns and cute little puppies. A plant that makes power for your city, at the price of it's long-term security. Making the world 'better' by making stuff that can destroy it hundreds of times over. There is enough nuclear payload in there to end all sim life on sim earth... including the sim cockroaches. Are your sims ready for the darkest nightmare to ever light their homes and power their appliances? Probably not... But, it's not like they have a choice. Oh, and as additional "feature"... even though the plant has a parking lot and cars park there every once in a while... This plant provides no jobs and requires no sim operators to run. It is completely automated.. I guess someone thought it might be a "good" idea to have a nuclear powerplant/weapons manufacturing facility run entirely by artificial intelligence. Details: 150,000 MWh 1200 $/month Failure Details: Explosive power - Extremely High Radiation Spread - Freaking nuclear winter apocalypse (really, really high) So don't let it blow up, and everything should be fine... right? Mwaa ha ha ha ha... kinda. The plant leaks some radiation in a 3 tile radius, makes a bit of air pollution and water pollution too. Dependency: BSC Textures Vol.01

S & S Bakery addresses school lunch regulations
There are many efforts being made to reduce America's widespread obesity rates, but some of the most important initiatives are focused on the country's youth. Many of these efforts have come from government support, including the "Let's Move!" child exercise program put in place by First Lady, Michelle Obama. Now, according to an article from Fox News, the USDA's latest regulations on public school lunches have many school districts reassessing their menu options and creating healthier choices for students. S & S Bakery has been providing the San Diego School District with healthy bread products for years; the company comments on ways to approach these changes.
Instead of focusing on one area of school lunch, the USDA policies take a holistic approach where "changes include standards for school meals to increase fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy" options. S & S Bakery has adhered to the whole grain requirements and has even restructured its product line to meet the new standards. Overcoming obstacles in production, the bakery has shifted to support local students by following standards to include 51% whole grain in all school lunch products. However, the company also says that making the products available is only half the battle - students must find the healthy foods appetizing enough to eat them.
In response to this problem, the article discusses how many school districts are implementing tastes tests as a way to ensure quality foods. According to Fox, this week marked the School Nutrition Association's 66th Annual National Conference at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. The report says that during the convention "over 6,300 school nutrition professionals [got a chance] to taste food and drinks to see what would work in their school." However, S & S Bakery has already been making taste tests a part of their quality control procedures for quite some time.
"Here at S & S Bakery we do our own informal taste tests by sending our employees home with samples for their kids. The feedback we receive really helps us to formulate products the kids will enjoy," Steven Fadick, company president, says. Even better, Fadick reports that children respond well to the bakery's products. For example, S & S Bakery's white whole-wheat flour, which contains all of the nutrition and fiber of normal whole-wheat flour, but incorporates a finer grain and a sweeter taste, has already emerged as a "kid-favorite."


text: Studs catanzero - for all the slack we caught choosing him over martin he was perfect on the day drilling FGS os 48 and 52 yards with room to spare. also was great on kickoffs Davis - getting him in return for pryor seems like a steal. he didn't make mistakes and led the team with 14 tackles (8 solo) and had .5 sacks Lee - while still struggling in coverage and made some mistakes he shouldn't have he did get 10 tackles (7 solo) and a sack Jamaal Adams - his stat line isn't impressive but he felt like he was everywhere and made some good plays in on pass defense. Leonard williams - practically no stats but he clogged up the d-line and was disruptive all night Kearse - despite barely being on the team just coming over in a trade, led us with 7 catches and 59 yards. sadly our number 1 WR but could break 1k yards on the season TEs - finally look improved. McCown loves his TEs (remember barnidge) tomlinson looked good before getting hurt and Tye looked good as his replacement. Also ASJ is coming back after next week. Lac - 43.7 average punt and long of 58 yards. was pretty consistent and punted well Burris - looked like a solid corner out there and had a nice INT in the end zone. sadly his own player got thrown into him stopping it from being a 100 yard pick 6 Ealy - was a disruptive force out there with a high motor. Great find on the waiver wire Duds O-line - failed to open holes in the run game and offered poor protection in the pass game. somehting we need to fix in the offseason McCown - not sure why he's starting, Even if he gives us the "best chance to win" it's a pretty slim one. he looked bad. Not that he had much help and hard to blame him for the 2 desperation INTs (still don't agree with the anderson call on the INT either) but he did nothing to move the offense and looked scared to throw downfield Forte - why he isn't spelling powell is beyond me. they both have the same skill set but powell is just the better player. he runs hard breaks tackles and can catch. Powell should be the lead back. Forte looks old and slow out there Anderson - didn't really have an impact. hard to knock him though but i expected more then 22 yards Raymond - 2 fumbles as our returner. sure he didn't lose any but still. Skrine - just looked bad out there. at this point i'd rather see burris starting opposite claiborne Wilkerson - did pretty much nothing bowles - punting when we were down by 2 scores with 4 mins left? terrible decision

1. Newman's Own Special Blend K Cups. I just used my last one and I may weep.
2. The Hunger Games trilogy. I bought the first book at Barnes and Noble based solely on the recommendation that former Harry Potter lovers would appreciate it. I'm not sure there's a huge correlation between HP and these books (they remind me a lot more of the Twilight series), but I do enjoy them. I had to wait weeks for the second book (Catching Fire) to be available through the library, and I've requested the third. Despite the fact that I tore through the Twilight books and am finishing The Hunger Games series at the same I-have-to-know-what-happens pace, I will say that I am concerned about the prevailing theme of self-loathing I see in the female main characters of these YA novels. Katniss is undeniably tougher than Bella, but they both constantly talk about how they can't understand why anyone would love them, and FAR too often the only way they can contribute to the well-being of the people around them is to either kill themselves or use their sexuality in strange ways. Let's distance ourselves from that archetype, shall we?
3. My apple! On Monday night, I was recognized by my school district in a ceremony that honors all teachers who have achieved professional status. To be honest, professional status can be reached simply by lasting for your first three consecutive years without getting fired, but I am proud, and was so excited to go to the ceremony and stand next to the fabulous ladies who went through New Teacher orientation with me three years ago. This is actually my fifth year of being an elementary school teacher, and the first year that (even though I know there is MUCH more to learn) I truly felt confident about my role as a teacher and knew without a doubt that this was the profession I should be in. I can't wait to see what else my career has in store for me.
4. Harry Potter. Eyerolls are fine, I'm aware that this obsession can get old for others. Never for me. I've been listening to Deathly Hallows on audiobook in the house once the Today show is over, and I love this Etsy shop with cute Harry buttons. I haven't chosen my favorites yet, but I think Milo's diaper bag could use a little flair.
5. Online shopping, specifically around the impending holidays. I'm so excited that I get to be on maternity leave during the holiday season. I love buying Christmas presents, speculating about holiday crafts that I almost never do, and picking out the cards to send to everyone. This year I get to make or buy a stocking for Milo, and my sisters and I have been putting our heads together to get some great presents planned for my parents and other family members. I love love love the mall and other stores during the holidays- I am a marketing departments dream, and always fall for sweet decorations and stocking stuffers and the carols push me right over the edge. Milo and I are headed to the craft store today to start a little project for the grandparents in our lives. I can't wait.
I felt the need to list out some things on my mind that weren't related to the baby that has taken over my life. Somehow just having him around multiplies my excitement about everything else that's going on. What are you loving right now?

Exclusive: Omarion Explains Why He Does Not Involve Himself In Feuds Between His Girlfriend And Mother
If you are watching Love and Hip Hop Hollywood you already know that there is an ongoing power struggle between Apryl Jones, the mother of Omarion's child, and Omarion's mother, Leslie Burrell.
HipHollywood recently sat down with Apryl and Omarion and asked O how he deals with the drama between the two most important women in his life. His answer, "go far away from it."
"I think ultimately, my mom wants the best and I think that [Apryl] can recognize that, you know, regardless of how she deals with it. I try to not stand in the middle, I try to … go far away from it." Omarion told HipHollywood. "They're intense, you know, I'm intense and its just a whole bunch of intense stuff going on."
"He has a lot of intense women in his life," Apryl agreed. "He can't date anyone that's not strong either."
Omarion obviously thinks that Apryl can defend herself from his mother's attacks and drama. "If you going to be with the fam, you've got to be able to handle your own … and [Apryl] can handle her own."
Watch the video above to find out what else the couple had to say about dealing with family drama.

The first clip from 'The Lords of Salem' is here from Deadline. It's opening in 75 markets April 19th from Anchor Bay.
"From the singular mind of horror maestro Rob Zombie comes a chilling plunge into a nightmare world where evil runs in the blood. The Lords of Salem tells the tale of Heidi (Sheri Moon Zombie), a radio station DJ living in Salem, Massachusetts, who receives a strange wooden box containing a record, a "gift from the Lords." Heidi listens, and the bizarre sounds within the grooves immediately trigger flashbacks of the town's violent past. Is Heidi going mad, or are the "Lords of Salem" returning for revenge on modern-day Salem?"

We battled the elements… ventured through the mounds of snow… over the icy waters of Lake Superior… and to the Park Point Marina Inn in order to bring you a much deserved update on the project. We can all dream of summer… right?
It might be hard to currently think of spending a blissful weekend on the beautiful warm shores of Lake Superior on Duluth's iconic Park Point… when there are still three feet of snow left covering every vacant area of ground space. Well, let's try to picture that serene image together and imagine how much nicer it will be this summer when Park Point Marina Inn officially opens for business… and you and the lake can finally become one… well… almost.
This is the hotel project that has been in development for a few years now and finally is coming to fruition this summer. If you're not quite remembering the project, it's probably due to the fact that it was proposed around the same time as the larger 9 nine story hotel that was proposed to be built kiddy corner to the site. That project fizzled out after opposition from the surrounding neighborhood, while this project pushed further into its planning and design process. Park Point Marina Inn was designed off of the architectural nodes of the former Duluth Rowing Club building that stood on the site many years ago and is unique not only for it's small size, but also for the picturesque views that guests will have from their rooms balconies.
The hotel is meant to be an intimate experience connecting it's guests with not only the past, but also the current. Each of the 68 hotel rooms have a balcony that gives unparalleled views of the shores of Lake Superior and the surrounding harbor area. In some areas the hotel is no more than 50 feet from the shoreline, thus allowing it's guest to get close and personal with the areas wildlife populations and the nearby marina life. The hotel itself will feature an indoor pool, hot tub and sauna, along with banquet spaces. There also will be lounge with a bar, 24 hour fitness center, 24 hour business center and even self service laundry! And if you're a guest… those freebies included with your stay will include a hot/cold buffet breakfast each morning, WIFI, and of course parking. The only negative… Fido and LuLu will have to stay home for the weekend as not pets are allowed.
Rooms will come in four formats. All will be deluxe rooms, however there will also be suites that include a jacuzzi or fireplace. The rooms will feature hydromassage shower heads, pillow top beds with premium bedding, refrigerators and microwaves, and a 39 inch LED TV. As most know with hotels in Duluth, during the summer months they can be quite expensive. Look for rates during the Duluth's nicest months to start around $130 and go all the way up to the $300 mark per night. During the cooler months room rates can be expected to start around $80 and go up to around $200 per night. Guests can book one of the following room types for their stay.
Deluxe room with 2 Queen Beds and a city view (ADA)
Deluxe Room with 2 Queen Beds and a city view
Deluxe Room with 2 Queen Beds and a harbour view
Deluxe Room with 1 King Bed and a sofabed with a harbour view
Deluxe Room with 1 Queen Bed with a city view.
Suite with 2 Queen Beds and a harbour view
Suite with 2 Queen Beds and a jacuzzi
Suite with 1 King Bed and a fireplace
If you're interested in booking a room at the new Park Point Marina Inn, visit their website here for more information. And we might suggest that if you're looking for a room during the summer months, put some haste in visiting that site as they seem to being quite quickly.

I just got back from having a yummy breakfast with my best girlfriend-so I got to have coffee and gossip to start my day-hurrah!
We always forget where we are though,and I'm sure all the other customers loved hearing us talk about our naughty phone sex calls-oh well,I guess they could consider it a freebie ;p
It does make me giggle now when I'm out and about and I see a guy looking at me,and I always wonder if he's checking me out cos I'm a hottie (hee hee) or if he recognises me from one of my websites! All I can say is I hope if that ever happens,I am not somwhere with my mummy,or my lovely granny-I don't think they would appreciate knowing their sweet girl is a naughty cam girl on the side!
Anyway,I will be on taking phone calls this afternoon (GMT),which means you need to call from this button here....
However,I should be around for cam this evening,if all things go to plan :)

Hi Flan,
I hope you had a really nice weekend, even though it was tragically shortened by an hour. I hate daylight "savings" time w/ a passion. Even though Congress had nothing better to do 2 years ago than tinker with the damnable thing I don't see why we have to suffer. To top it all off, after having several enraged "discussions" with the nice npr people on the radio about their multiple stories about the change, I neglected to move my clocks forward until Sunday morning. Stupid clock moving.
This weekend I completed my first EZ pattern! Woohoo. I was thumbing through Kw/oT and came upon a little section behind all the sweaters. There are hats and socks back there! Who knew?? Having an assignment from the Harlot, I grabbed some needles and some Lana Grossa Due Chine (leftover from the KO, also thanks to the Harlot) and swatched. We had a bit of a problem, with EZ calling for 2.5 sts/in and I was swatching at 3.5. Fearlessly, I pulled out my calculator. This was the turning point.
There are at least two different hats in Kw/oT that call for 2.5 sts/in (one cleverly disguised as calling for 7sts/3"). One tells you to cast on 36, the other 50. That's an extra 5 inches. The other "quirky" aspect? The one that is 36 sts is a rib, which would hold tighter to the head, the one with 50 tells you to then increase to a number that is truly astonishing (somewhere in the vicinity of 100 if I remember correctly). Far be it from me to question the authority of EZ, but I was a bit nervous.
I cast on and after the band part I increased a mere 15 sts (one pattern repeat) and merrily went about the pattern. I would like to say that the pattern is brilliant. It creates a spiral effect and has the most intelligent decreases known to man. I love it despite of my inability to grasp the numbers.
A few short hours later and I was getting to the point of cast off. It was looking big. Really really big. Seriously large even. I consulted with a Norwedian knitter. She thought it looked pretty big too. Not one to be swayed by experience and consultation, and reluctant to rip it out and do more math, I kept going.
It turns out this, um, "hat" could double as a tea cozy. If the tea pot in question were the size of the nice gatorade coolers players douse coaches with at the end of the game. I tried it on. My bathroom mirror laughed. My head is about a women's medium and my hair is not at all fluffy. I am waiting until The Hubby returns from TN so that he can put it on his much larger head and we can see if there is ripping that needs to happen. I am hoping that the recipient has both a larger head and an inordinant amount of really really fluffy hair. The Hubby currently has the camera because something is lost when you take rocks out of their natural habitat w/o photographing. There will be pictures upon his return because this is truly something to behold.
Do you know if we're supposed to mail them to NY or should we wait to deliver them in MN?

Kate Mara and Jamie Bell have shown off their wedding rings for the first time.
The couple tied the knot earlier this month after two years together and now the 34-year-old actress has shared a new picture on Instagram in which their special bands can clearly be seen.
Kate - who, like Jamie, is wearing sunglasses and clutching a coffee cup in the picture - simply captioned the image with a heart emoji.
Jamie and Kate announced they had got married by sharing a picture of their big day on social media.
The 31-year-old actor - who has a four-year-old son with ex-wife Evan Rachel Wood - captioned his twitter post: "Me & Mrs B."
And Kate wrote on her Instagram account alongside the same picture: "Nuptials."
Meanwhile, the 'House of Cards' star previously admitted she wasn't enthusiastic about planning her own wedding.
She shared: "I don't love planning. I like planning in my life in general, but wedding planning, I'm just not that interested. Like, 'What kind of spoon do you want on the table?' I'm just so uninterested, but Jamie is very interested."
However, she admitted her 'Fantastic Four' co-star and partner was very keen to plan the finer details of their wedding.
She added: "I will say, 'I don't care', and he will immediately give a response of exactly the colour and the shape - well the shape is obvious."
And Kate had previously admitted it is "tricky" dating another actor.
She said: "I think in our business, it's always a little bit tricky to navigate things because it's not like a normal job where you know where you're going to be the next year, let alone the next day. You just don't."
Kate had chosen her wedding dress for the big day with the help of her stylist Johnny Wujeck months before she tied the knot.
She shared recently: "It's taken care of. It's not totally done yet. But yes, very easy, all because of [Johnny Wujek].
"I knew the designer. I knew before we really said it out loud. I knew in my head it was going to be that one. We both agreed. We knew what it was. Without saying what it is, we knew what it was."

The Website & Internet Communications Committee
is the newest committee of volunteers - formed in the spring of 2010. The goal of this committee is to effectively and creatively communicate information to our members and potential members about the Friends of Christopher Columbus Park (FOCCP) organization and provide updates on what is going on in the Park.
So, what specifically does this committee do?
The primary tools used to communicate include the FOCCP website, a monthly newsletter and Facebook.
FOCCP Website:
We continually update the website with new information and are working to enhance the site so it's more interesting and informative. Do you have any fresh ideas on how we can make the website even better? We'd love to hear them!
FOCCP Newsletter:
At a minimum, a monthly newsletter is sent to over 500 names in our database. The newsletter provides information to members and potential members on what is going on in the park, general information about the FOCCP organization and some committee updates.
FOCCP Facebook:
The Facebook site is updated regularly with information about what is happening in the park. Pictures are uploaded often to show FOCCP Facebook friends real time photos of actual events and/or scenic shots of the park.
FOCCP Instagram:
Follow us @FOCCP and tag us in your photos of the park for a chance to be featured in our profile!
Given the newness of our committee, we are still putting our group together and welcome to all ideas on how to best use the internet to communicate to our members and potential members. If you have a knack for writing articles, have good computer skills or just want to learn something new, we'd like to hear from you.

The Time I Had the Worst Date Ever
We met in a bar. He could tell I was Jewish from across the room "because of the nose," he was quick to point out. I was drunk and decided that though he was awkward, at least he had balls.
We went to a nice lounge bar of his choosing a few days later. Things immediately started to go south, and I decided I'd give him three strikes. He managed to use them all within the first hour.
- Strike 1: Discussing the eventual birth of our first child.
"So, would you let my family in the birthing room with you? I know some girls would be weirded out by that, but I'd really want my family in there with us, you know? Witnessing the miracle of life. How soon do you think we'll be having kids?"
Pro: He's close with his family!
Con: Way too close. Like in a "he's going to kill them all one day" kind of way. And the first 10 minutes of a first date is not the time to bring up graphic vaginal birth.
- Strike 2: Talking about his "awesome" threesome.
"It was crazy, but at least I had two girls and not some dude, am I right? Sometimes it was hard to figure out what to do, though – I mean, who sucks what?"
Pro: Adventuresome! At least sex wouldn't be vanilla.
Con: Dude, I am not impressed by your threesome on the FIRST DATE. Or EVER.
- Strike 3: Can I tell you about my sexual fantasy?
At this point, I knew I was never going to see him again, so I said SURE, let's hear what comes out of this fucking mouth of yours.
"I've always wanted to have sex while watching Star Trek. I don't really care which series, but I'd prefer not Deep Space 9."
After the threesome, I can't say that I was expecting that.
Now, I've been raised a good little nerd. My dad has a home theater in our basement with Star Trek posters on one wall and Star Wars posters on the other (he just couldn't choose!). But mixing sex with it just isn't my thing.
I hastily made an excuse and got out of there, but he proceeded to call and text me daily for the next month. Yeah, not creepy at all.
October 3, 2011 at 8:11 pm
i never heard all of these details before. hilarious!
August 27, 2012 at 5:23 pm
EEHEEHEEHEE! Bad date stories are my SECOND FAVORITE!!!!
I think you're pretty charitable for lasting to strike three. I'm pretty sure I'd have been outta there once my vagina-for-view topic was on the table.

How is suspense created in the film Memento?
Suspense is created in the opening scene of Memento by the use of a technique that reverses the film. Suspense is created because you don't yet know why the film is in reverse. It was an interesting way to start the film and it created the right atmosphere for a Psychological Thriller.
Suspense was also created with the flashbacks. Each flashback held the answer or showed a vital clue to the story. The flashbacks created suspense because they kept going back to crucial points in the story, though at the time you're not sure why they are so important.

Since publishing my first novel at the end of April, I haven't had time to do much in the way of writing; at least not in terms of writing a second novel. Leaving aside the personal circumstances that (as usual) have been constraining my time and ability to focus on my fiction writing, the other factor that had been preventing me from starting any meaningful work on a second book was my indecision concerning what story I want to tell next. I began outlining two stories at the same time until I could make a decision about which of the two I wanted to proceed with. Fortunately, that decision has now been made.
While it might be assumed that I have chosen to prioritise the stronger of the two potential stories, that isn't actually the case. In the end, I decided to put the better idea on the back-burner, until such time as I feel that I am capable of doing the story justice. What I'll be working on, instead, for the next few months is a follow-up to my debut novel. This choice consequently means two things: The Exercise Of Vital Powers is no longer a stand-alone novel; it is now the first instalment of a series that will run for at least five books. (More details about this series will follow in a later blog post.)
I plan to start writing book two in earnest next week, and hope to have an unedited "final" draft completed before the end of the year. I will probably post regular updates of my progress as I go. And to pre-empt any questions or concerns about whether it's a good idea to use (what was originally intended to be) a stand-alone novel as the basis for writing a five book series, I will just point out the following: I unexpectedly did a lot of world building for The Exercise Of Vital Powers (most of which I didn't utilise) so I have plenty of scope for writing further stories in that world, which will allow me to make use of all the hitherto unused material.
As someone who often dislikes unnecessary sequels, I have to admit that I am surprisingly excited about the prospect of writing additional tales in the world I created. And the best thing about doing so is the opportunity for more character development of my two protagonists, both of whom I grew very attached to while writing The Exercise Of Vital Powers. I'm really looking forward to writing these characters again, even if no one else is.
Thanks for reading,

In my previous journal post I wrote about Microsoft's Robert Scoble who commented on the Acid2 challenge issued by the Web Standard Standards Project, and his excuses for Microsoft not following Web standards by talking about "product differentiation".
Scoble is apparently saying that Microsoft cannot differentiate itself in any other way than to ignore standards. In other industries, such as the car industry (to use a common analogy), all companies follow certain standards and build their differentiation on top of that. Cars typically have certain basic features that are the same, and one of the most important things is a basic safety requirement (think security requirement for computers, another weak point for Microsoft). That is not to say that all cars are exactly the same. Far from it. The car industry (as well as other industries) seems to follow this extremely simple rule:
Open standards are the foundation on which your differentiated product is built.
How would Microsoft differentiate itself in the car industry? By building cars twice as wide as the road, and forcing roads to adapt to their cars rather than the other way around? But I digress…
An interesting conclusion from Scoble was that WaSP must be a marketing department for Opera. Now, if that were the case, we would probably have asked for our money back by now. You see, the Acid2 test reveals that Opera is not perfect (shock, horror!). You can try it for yourself on this page:
While both Opera and Firefox do much better than IE, there are several problems in these browsers as well. But what is clear is that a marketing department which makes your product look flawed doesn't really make sense.
I do understand Scoble's frustration and the way he reacts, though. It cannot be easy to try to spin stories to Microsoft's advantage when you are attacked from all directions. The best way to deal with it is often to go on an all out attack, and discredit those who criticize you, rather than to actually address the issue. Red herrings have been used for ages by various people, and with great success. And if you are a big company like Microsoft, it can be a particularly powerful way to fend off criticism.
An interesting question is: If Opera itself had issued the challenge instead of the independent WaSP, had the excellent points made been any less relevant? Would Microsoft have been any less guilty of violating standards and refusing to address such shortcomings in Internet Explorer? Had they been any less guilty of trying to avoid the issue, rather than actually acting on it for once, and addressing it?
In other news, rendering the Acid2 test seems to have turned into a race between browsers – who can fix it first? As Tim points out in his journal, that's kind of missing the point. We will certainly continue to improve Opera in various ways, but the most important thing is that all browsers have a foundation based on open standards (see above), to make life easier for people writing Web pages. If browsers hadn't been forced to emulate bugs and flaws in Internet Explorer, browser vendors could have focused more on standards compliance too, making things even easier for webmasters. Unfortunately, the Web is a messy place today, but with alternative browsers gaining popularity it seems that the future has good things in store.
That said, we will not rest on our laurels, and Acid2 is definitely something we'll be looking into.

The kids never made any big Easter plans, and since Sheridan's birthday was on Good Friday, I didn't either. On Saturday morning after her party, we did find time to dye some Easter eggs, and we really had a lot of fun. The kids had fun dissolving the dye tabs and seeing what colors would develop. Sheridan just wanted to stir and play with her egg dipper. Sawyer wanted to leave his eggs in the cups forever to ensure the best possible colors. Sheridan was excited to decorate hers with stickers, but Sawyer didn't think that was such a good idea. They were both very impressed with their creations. On Easter morning, they were both excited to see what was in their baskets. They got bubbles, puzzles, books, socks, and a few toys. They seemed to love each little thing and took time to look and play…which is probably why we were late to church and missed the Sunday school egg hunt. When they got dressed, Sawyer tried to put his bow tie on by himself (unsuccessfully, but he sure is getting independent), and Sheridan asked why she was wearing a big dress. Even though it was cloudy and breezy, it still wasn't too bad out, so we hunted eggs around the yard after church. They got so excited each time they found one and are getting pretty savvy at the egg hunting.

Something Changed
We got home yesterday and guess what, I was sad. Sad because the much anticipated trip of going to see our family is over. Sad because, our apartment is so lonely with only us three. Sad because our families are so far away. Sad because even though we saw everyone, we didn't get to spend time with everyone. Especially my family. The time with my family was chaotic. I didn't really get to talk to my brothers or sister or in-laws. We all have kids and time was short. I love being with them all but I wish I could spend more time just talking. Not about anything deep just being together and talking and laughing about nothing at all.
The big trip is over. The next big thing coming up is the birth of the new baby. And I am scared. Scared that I won't be able to hack it as a stay at home mom of two. Scared that I am going to be so tired. Scared that Drew will be in the middle of his semester and won't be able to help me adjust. Scared that I will be stuck at home, and all my feelings of lonliness will come back. Scared. But I do know that God will help me and I just have to ask. Asking is the easy part, it is believing that he will help that is hard. I know he will help but truly believing is difficult. I know too that I am borrowing worries about tomorrow when I need to concentrate on today. I need to get back into a routine and get my apartment in order. I feel tired and overwhelmed. But I just have to take one small step at a time. Everything will get done and put away eventually.
Sage was such a good traveller. He woke up some in the night but usually went back to sleep himself and his naps were mostly non-existent. He did great on the plane trips there and back. I was thankful to have Drew with us. My belly is getting bigger and harder to hold Sage. Amazingly, we didn't use as many toys like when I travelled alone with Sage. Drew held him, let him get between his legs, showed him the air buttons and I don't know. The flight home was at 7:30 so we got up at 4:30 and woke Sage at 5:30. He actually fell asleep on Drew! That is a rarity with a 17 month old. I think they both enjoyed sleeping on the plane together.
We had a great trip and wouldn't change. We definitly wouldn't want to stay home!

When I first had Faith - they just sent me home.. to a state all by myself. Just me, a crazy dog and a baby.. I knew nothing about babies and I was so scared. But you can do it - and when you do.. you'll look back and think - this is what it's all about, and I am amazing!!!!ReplyDelete
I've been very lonely and isolated away from my family and friends.. but the love of your children can carry you through alot.
I'm cheering for you!!!!
Wow! I have to say I almost bawled reading your blog. I have so many of the same feelings...not that I'm pregant and expecting a second one yet....but I feel scared about those issues too. I totally know what you mean about being sad after seeing family. It's like it's built up so much and then it never meets your expectations....I feel that way about a lot of things. Thanks for sharing and being so honest!ReplyDelete

Yup. RJ and I are training to run one. August 18. I'm scared out of my wits but even more scared for RJ because he has shin splints right now and can barely walk! I'm going to be the guy in the background here, crawling to the finish line. Ha! I just threw up a little thinking about it.
Or I'll be this guy.

By Christian Ortner
Is it permissible in a liberal democracy for the state to legally stipulate how women are to dress — and especially how not to dress — in public? Under certain circumstances, absolutely, decided the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg the week, thereby confirming the Belgian state's right to criminalize full veiling of women in public. A Muslim woman had entered a complaint against this 2011 law and was rejected by the highest European court.
This has relevance for Austria too. A very similar regulation, forbidding especially wearing the niqab and the (less frequently seen) burka, goes into effect here on October 1st. The chances that this law will be nullified by the European Court are therefore next to nil. And that is good.
The sight of a woman more or less compulsorily fully veiled is nothing less than obscene. It is a good thing for legislators to put end to this obscenity, at least in public. Even though liberals must naturally respect the right of every person to decide how he or she will dress. That is, in and of itself, of no interest to the state, like so much else.
In the case of full veiling, or course, we are dealing not only with clothing, but above all with a symbol of a fascistic, violence-prone and deeply misogynistic ideology, i.e., political Islam in a particularly radical manifestation. The niqab and burka belong to a nasty ideology, as SS uniforms belong to National Socialism. Both are a political statement, if not a profession of loyalty.
There is good reason that it is forbidden here to saunter through the Kohlmarkt in an SS uniform; and with equally good reason, it should be forbidden to symbolically occupy the public space with the vestments of Islamism.
Symbols of the Islamic State are likewise banned. The argument that this contravenes the constitutional right to freely practice one's religion does not apply. First, no woman is even close to being prevented from practicing her religion just because she will henceforth have to show her face in public. Second, nowhere in Islam is there a commandment for full veiling.
The objection that the state doesn't have any other regulations for clothing in public is without substance. Anyone who believes that should try taking a walk along Mariahilferstrasse stark naked, and find out what the police and then the courts will do. Even today, in a system of political freedom, it is natural for the state to intervene in the freedom of dressing as one pleases.
Political Islam is attempting to turn the liberalism of the West against it. The European Court decreeing unity in this matter is good news.

The year has progressed further, as you would expect. Despite a sense that nothing is moving and the grey days of winter are everlasting, there has been an inexorable creep towards lighter days and warmer temperatures. The other day I actually went out for a walk without a hat! A new season deserves a new header photo – Roseberry Topping in the Spring.
In Boro Garden (http://www.mycampage.com/borogarden) some colour is emerging and things are growing.There is one bunch of real daffodils down under the willow tree and a drift of 'tete a tete' mini daffodils around the bird table. They are out in bloom.
Apart from that the soil is parting, in various places, under the thrust of green shoots, some where I was expecting to see them and some that have surprised me. That's the trouble, you see, I planted new bulbs, last autumn and of course I have forgotten now where some of them went.
I know where most of the alliums are but have no idea where the fritllaria went. The tulips appear to be coming up where expected. I don't know what this one above left is, I will have to wait and see.
It has been uplifting to see a song thrush return to the garden
Today, I was surprised to see a sparrow, the first for a long time. I have had dunnocks, but no sparrows –
The real problem birds at the moment are the town pigeons that have realised what rich pickings are up for grabs at Boro Garden.
There appears to be a pair of them, most of the time, until they bring some mates along for backup. Some days I spend hours in and out of the door chasing them off. They retire, just out of reach on the roof, wait till I give up and go indoors and they are back down again, laughing all over their fat chops.
The starlings are only a problem when they appear en masse. Mostly it is just one or two that raid the robin mix on the bird table and the mealworms in a hanging feeder. I have shut up the hanging feeder so the gap is what I thought would fit the blue tits, but no, the starling manages to crawl inside as well. The odd starling is not a nuisance –
But when the flock arrives, all hell lets loose and I would not advise putting your hand in!
Too quick for me, I'm afraid. The greenfinches were behaving and even allowed the goldfinch to play…
The garden has been adopted by a pair of robins, but so far I have not been able to get them both in one shot.
They spend a lot of time living upto their reputation chasing off other small birds such as the dunnock.
That concludes the Spring Term report, except for taking the opportunity of recording the only glimpses I had of yesterday's eclipse of the sun.
Taken only a few minutes apart close to the maximum cover and just before the sun disappeared altogether behind the ever thickening cloud. Oh well, without the cloud, I wouldn't have got any pictures.
Thanks for looking in.

First Look At The Cast Of "Wall Street 2"
Vanity Fair brings us the first collective shot of the cast from Oliver Stone's upcoming "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps."
The film centers on Jacob "Jake" Moore (Shia Labeouf), a hungry, young hedge-fund worker who is dating Gordon Gekko's (Michael Douglas) estranged daughter, Winnie (Carey Mulligan). Jake believes that his boss, Bretton James (Josh Brolin), somehow has had a hand in the suspicious death of his mentor (Frank Langella). Gekko agrees to aid the fresh-faced Jake in his plans for revenge.
Susan Sarandon co-stars as Moore's mother while Charlie Sheen returns in a small cameo as Bud Fox.
The cast looks sharp, dapper and appropriately dressed in the group shot, along with the more casually dressed director, Stone. Taken by Annie Leibowvitz, the pictures have a unique feel to them. A second shot of just Douglas in character as Gordon Gekko on Wall Street also is a great, with the columns of Federal Hall lurking in the background.
Stone spoke a little with Vanity Fair about the project, and returning to characters he directed over two decades ago.
He said: "When Gekko comes out of prison in the beginning of this movie, he essentially has to redefine himself. He's looking for that second chance. Gekko couldn't manipulate the markets like he did back then. It's so big, so huge, that to be a minor player you need to be a major bank."
I am very excited for this film, and I think it has potential to be one of the best of the year. The original was a great piece of filmmaking, and it'll be thrilling to see Douglas take on a character he left over 20 years ago.
Stone said this about the role of Gekko: "I think that [Douglas] really delivers an interesting version of Gordon Gekko, 22 years later. It's not the same man. Age has made him suffer. Also, I would point to Shia LaBeouf as the motivator for the movie. He's the young spirit that's learning."
I'm a big fan of Shia LaBeouf as well, and this film could be his breakout role in a 'serious' film. LaBeouf has proved he can bring in the money, with hits like "Transformers" and "Disturbia," but it'll be good to see the young actor in a serious, complex role. LaBeouf even took the Series 7 exam in real life and did a great amount of research in preparing for the role.
Added Stone: "We were on the street, every day. We saw people and, of course, we listened as much as we could. Of course you have the bankers point of view, too."
"Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps" will be released April 23, 2010.
