I think your maps would prove useful for DMs, if only for a perspective of the area. I'd maybe throw in a few numbered areas, a key, that sort of thing. A hex/grid is useful, but a simple scale indication would suffice for the overland maps.
Your Fallcrest maps were perfect player, prop ones. So maybe something like that for the others?
Quick question: how do you draw your maps? Pen, pencil, other? Then scan and photoshop them?

I agree with Simon, your Fallcrest maps (DM and Player's), prove really useful. I actually used them for play and my players were amazed at your work.
That goes for your Winterhaven map too, it helped my players put everything in perspective.
As for suggestions: I think you should just post those kind of maps, sure you could add a grid of something, but I think just a scale at the bottom would be better.

You forgot a fourth kind of map - the overview map a DM prepares for the players.
"This is what you know of the area."
Your illustrative maps are way better suited for that purpose than my map-maps and city maps.
Your Fallcrest bird's eye view gives such a perfect impression what life in that town must feel like, and which landmarks and features have what impact on daily life.
And you just show what PCs can see after a brief tour of the streets - there is no secret DM info. The players are left with natural impressions like "wow, this looks like a wealthy house", or "over there, the wall is in disrepair", and can incorporate those into their dealings with the town's inhabitants.
It's much harder to relate that kind of information in a casual way through technical maps or DM monologue.
There are some high concept maps on your blog, maps that are indeed not suited for gaming (like that one on which villages look like theater flats). But as mapping experiments I find them even more interesting than your more "regular" fare.

Many of the maps you post are good props to show what the PCs see, which is darn usefull for DM's, especially for the travel portions of adventures.
Plus, they give DM's a better perspective on what can be seen or what things might look like that bowed text or a standard hex map does not convey.

Your maps are perfect for my need as a dm and for my players. Echoing everyone else, the Fallcrest and Winterhaven maps are awesome. I also like and used the Mapping the Nentir Vale map as a rough one that the characters would know of the Vale.
I enjoy the hex maps because they do show the distance without me having to break out a ruler to measure distances.
The blueprint style are awesome, the Inn was great for showing my players what the place looks like and what they can expect when the walk in the door.
I love what you'e done. Keep it up.

Agreed with the other posters.
The only difference between a player map and a DM map is that the former doesn't have "secret" stuff or labels on it.
All it would take would be to remove the labels and most of the maps (especially the town ones) are perfectly usable as player handouts.
The overland "view" maps are a little less useful because they assume that the PCs reach a certaint vantage point. But that's a fair price to pay for some gorgeous imagery

Hey Simon, I use an erratic mix of photoshop and good ol' pen and paper depending =)

Thanks for the comments everyone. Thinking out loud, let's break it down some more.
We have three map categories: DM, Player, and Prop.
We have three map...let's call them 'genres': City, Wilderness, Dungeon.
Potentially that gives 9 distinct types: DM City, Player City, Prop City, DM Wilderness, Player Wilderness, Prop Wilderness, DM Dungeon, Player Dungeon, and Prop Dungeon.
I think we can toss out Player City, don't you? No one maps a city do they? Player Wilderness is on the bubble too I'd bet. Regardless, Player maps are a "first person" endeavor, so for our purposes let's ignore them.\
They city maps work in that it's reasonable for players to have a lot of city info up front, kind of the way there's a comprehensive map on the first kiosk you see at the mall.
I think my hang-up is with wilderness maps. DM wilderness maps needn't be pretty and, without Player maps, that leaves prop maps for the wilderness.
So that helps me narrow down the useful maps: City maps (which are both DM and Prop) and Wilderness and Dungeon prop.

I love your sketches and your maps.
I'm DMing a group of people playing for the first time, including my brother. He read up on the Vale and dropped the village of Nenlast into his background and I can't wait to show him your sketch.
I snagged your sketches of the Nentir Inn this evening.
Your work is really awesome. Thank you.

Just came across this site; what beautiful work! One thing that would be immediately useful to me would be a version of your Winterhaven town map without the "key" circles. That makes it a pretty good prop, and the players can learn the locations themselves. Any chance of you making that available?

matt, i'll give it a shot but since moving a lot of my stuff has gone missing.

Give New Life to Old Furniture Using Color!
Everyday on my way home I pass my neighborhood Goodwill and everyday the sidewalk outside the store is filled with the same outdated, slightly beat-up furniture. The practical side of me knows that there are some perfectly good pieces worth reusing, but my modernist side can't get over the more traditional aesthetic. It's a conundrum that many of us face and that's why I'm intrigued by this roundup of traditional designs reinvented with bold colors.
Painting furniture is certainly not a new trend, but the use of bold colors on otherwise dated pieces can produce an unexpected contrast that feels very modern. Aside from aesthetics, painting old furniture has several benefits: it keeps products out of landfills and reduces the need for new resources, it's a good way to mask imperfections while still getting the benefit of a solid piece of furniture, and it can save hundreds of dollars over buying new while creating an interesting story of how the piece came to be.
(For a great how-to on painting furniture, check out this post from earlier this year.)
Top Row:
1. I love the idea of a kitchen table with a story. Painted a bright color, it becomes a focal point of the room and an easy place for friends to gather.
2. Left unpainted these nightstands might resemble something in your grandmother's house, but a swath of bright pink makes them perfect for a whimsical bedroom.
3. Believe it or not, this chair has been painted! Upholstered furniture can be a daunting task to recover, but this solution could be a doable DIY.
4. We may not have a need for wash stands anymore, but repurposing and repainting an heirloom piece adds a layer of history to our homes.
5. Spray painting chairs is an easy way to add a pop of color to a space. Better yet, if you get tired of the color, repainting is a cinch.
Bottom Row:
6. Ombre is all the rage right now and with the varied drawer colors your hardly notice that it's a well-worn piece.
7. Not all used furniture is old. Even an IKEA cabinet like the one pictured here can be improved upon with a couple of hours and a paint brush.
8. Don't limit your scavenger hunt to just wood pieces, this metal locker adds a warm but industrial vibe to this hallway at Chez Larsson.
9. Painting a few pieces in a slightly different color adds an element of surprise and ensures that your creation is truly unique, as seen in this dresser by designer Roy McMakin.
10. Painting an older sideboard was just the first step for Stefanie of Brooklyn Limestone. She then used a projector to paint a partial world map in gold paint on the top!

My only beef was the crust still didn't have that real wide open airy look like in the pictures here. I think that's a time/temp factor. I did 5 min pre-bake/15 minute cook at 475, but Pizzahogg is onto something using 500, so I'll give that a shot. Any other ideas?
Hey JeffI am actually quite happy with this dough as is and have filed it as my first winner. 2 1/2 hours from mix to oven or days in the fridge with your metodo del Valentino all work and I love the crumb and textures. But to try and get the Detroit clone, I plan to keep lowering hydration. I am guessing there is a sweet spot out there that is still not bready, but not as wide open as this, which is the target.Otherwise, still trying diff cheeses and parbake/bake times to nail down the caramelized cheese edge thing. Some of the Det's have the cheese black as my last one did, others catch it while still brown which I prefer. Plus I need a more intense pepperoni. These pies are so loaded that every pep I have tried tends to get lost. I have finally found some diff brands that are labeled "spicy", but they are only avail pre-sliced and frozen in 25 lb boxes. Even if these are the ticket, that's a whole lotta pepperoni to use up, and if not, that's way too much to suffer thru. Hmmm, maybe I can use a mallet to pound additional fennel seeds and red pepper flakes into the slices. Did I say that? Never mind.Looking forward to your next foray into this style. Until then, I'll just keep eatin' the experiments.Hog
I can't see Buddy's fooling around too much with rising and proofing and refrigerating and all that, so mixing then rising in the pan has to be a key point for speed and profits.
I think that the home ovens we use have a real impact on the crispy-but-not-burnt cheese edges we are looking for. If I ever get the cash to buy a scale, I'll most likely use less cheese which will need less time or lower temp in my oven. fantes.com/seasoning has a section about seasoning the pan using peanut oil instead of butter,veg oil or crisco due to it's high smoking point. I still have over 12.5 lbs of pepperoni to use 'till I find and order the other margherita pepperoni.
I was just talking to a good friend this morning about when he worked at Buddy's back in high school. Must've been over 20 years ago. He said they'd start making the dough about 8 in the morning and continue until about 11. And that's all the dough they would make for the day. They used iced cold water (like with actual ice cubes to cool it down) and cold flour. After mixing it went straight to the tray and not in the fridge. So at lunch time they'd start using the earlier doughs that started at 8 and got done by 9. He said by the end of the day the yeast are pretty much exhausted. If they just dropped the pan a few inches or piled on the toppings the dough would deflate. I didn't ask him about the actual dough formula. Doubt he'd remember it. He did said they used a spice pack, oil and sugar.I was never much into the Detroit style pizza because I thought it was too greasy and crust is too bready. But reading through this thread made me want to go to Buddy's and then make my own Detroit style!

Hello all.
Sorry for the query as it may had been answered already in other threads.
I am using the NA-NEX5 with the Nauticam 4.33" Dome for the Fisheye converter.
As being sick waiting for proper E-Mount lenses I'm playing around with idea to replace the combo with the OM-D.
Would the Pana 8mm fishey work behind the 4.33 inch Dome for the 16mm-VCL-ECU combo?
Reason asking is that the part numbers are different for the m4/3 4.33 dome and the one for the Sony. It seems from the pictures the m4/3 one is a bit shorter.
Thanks in advance.

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Paul Bianchi tallied his first goal of the season in the 57th minute of the America East Semifinals to lift the University of New Hampshire men's soccer team to a 1-0 win at No. 1 Vermont.
The win brings the Wildcats to 7-7-5 on the year while Vermont bows out with an 8-5-5 record. UNH will travel to the winner of Stony Brook vs. UMBC to play for the title on Saturday at 7 p.m.
In the first half, the Wildcats held a slight advantage on offense when they tallied five shots to Vermont's four. Aaron Smith tallied the lone shot-on-goal for the Wildcats in the first half while Travis Worra made a pair of saves in the half to preserve the 0-0 score.
At exactly 56:00 in the second half, Bianchi found the ball as it was misplayed by Vermont keeper Conor Leland and ripped a low shot past the keeper and into the net for the 1-0 advantage. The Wildcats contained the Catamount attack through the remainder of the stanza with solid defense and goaltending. In the 84th minute, Jonny Bonner bent a free kick on net for Vermont that was denied by an extended Worra. At the end of the second half, the Wildcats clinched a spot in the America East Conference Finals.
Worra tallied his seventh shutout of the season after making six saves in the effort. Leland allowed just one goal on the four shots he faced in net for Vermont for the decision. Vermont outshot UNH by a margin of 11-8 in the contest.

Several people have already noticed a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed community member bumbling around Granite Falls and Clarkfield with a camera in tow. This assumed-loiterer is not a teenage delinquent, but actually a hired professional.
Several people have already noticed a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed community member bumbling around Granite Falls and Clarkfield with a camera in tow. This assumed-loiterer is not a teenage delinquent, but actually a hired professional.
Ethan Groothuis, the newest addition to the Advocate Tribune staff is used to being mistaken for a teenager.
"I'm 22 and still get carded for R-rated movies," Groothuis said. "I've already been asked several times if I'm the new high school intern."
Despite the fledgling and naive looks, Groothuis spent several years working for his college newspaper at Luther College, located in Decorah, Iowa. Eventually he worked his way up to become the managing editor, which he claims was the most eventful and stressful learning experience so far in his life. With that experience, he intends on continuing the integrity and professionalism of the Advocate Tribune.
"I spelt my own name wrong in my first byline and it went to print, so it can only improve from here on out," Groothuis said.
Groothuis was born and raised in the neighboring town of Montevideo. After graduating from college with a degree in Communication Studies, he returned to the lush river valley of his formative years with the simple goal of finding a job.
Fighting against high unemployment rates for recent college graduates, Groothuis thought his only hope was to move to a big, booming metropolis in order to find a job. But rural Minnesota had other plans for him when an opening for the sports editor position came across his computer screen after three months of fruitless searching.
"I think it is great that I could find a job not only in a field that excites me, but also in the same area I already know and love," Groothuis said. "You really can't beat the atmosphere of Southwestern Minnesota."
Raised on a healthy diet of Minnesota sports, Groothuis identifies the strongest as a Twins fan, although he intends on learning to read and recite every kind of box score and stats.
Smiling faces, cozy personalities and fresh air aside, what Groothuis looks forward to the most is the opportunity to be a part of a new community.
"Even though I grew up 12 miles away, I have so many people I have yet to meet," Groothuis said. "It is a challenge, a privilege and I look forward to doing right by this community."

This cake has been haunting me. Whenever I've planned to make it something has always come up that has thwarted me – everyone around me is sick of hearing about how I'm going to make it ...and then don't. Well, the hex is gone – here is the strawberry mousse cake!
The English strawberry season is at its peak right now with luscious berries for sale everywhere you look. Sorry Rest of the World, but I don't think anywhere can match England for strawberries – lots of strawberries look beautiful (I'm constantly disappointed by stunning looking but tasteless imports) but none have that strong satisfying juiciness and sweetness that you get from growing a strawberry outdoors in the English summer climate. I even love the aroma – that lovely fresh unmistakeable smell that hits you on opening the fridge!
I see this as a dessert cake; a slice of elegance to conclude a lovely lunch or dinner.
The mousse sits on a sponge base. I used the recipe for basic vanilla cupcakes and simply cut the sponge to size; I sliced the domed top off leaving a sponge disc of approximately 2cm tall:
What happened to the dome that I sliced off? Well, I'd like to say that I put it aside to use in a trifle or some such, but the truth is that I made a cup of tea, had a sit down and ate the excess sponge. Perks of the job!
As I knew this would be a tall cake I used a 9cm deep patisserie ring which I purchased from Amazon. You could use a springform cake tin and build up the height with foil but it might not be as effective.
The cake has to sit very snugly at the bottom of the ring – this is why an adjustable ring is helpful:
As desserts go, this is summer on a plate:
Who wants a slice?
Two things I learnt this week:
1. The smell of powdered gelatine makes me feel quite ill to the extent that I had to throw it away.
2. You can convert between leaf and powdered gelatine quite easily if you remember that 1 leaf = 3.5g powder.
For the sponge base:
125g unsalted butter
125g caster sugar
2 eggs
125g self raising flour
2 tablespoons milk
For the mousse:
350g strawberries, hulled and washed
4 tablespoons icing sugar
5 gelatine leaves (if you want to use powdered gelatine this equates to 17g + 3 tablespoons of boiling water)
300ml whipping cream
3 tablespoons icing sugar
Optional: Additional strawberries to set in the mousse
For the topping:
100g strawberries, hulled and washed, plus additional whole strawberries for decoration
1-2 tablespoons icing sugar
3 leaves gelatine (or 10g powdered + 2 tablespoons boiling water)
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan oven 170°C/375°F/Gas mark 5.
- Grease one 20cm loose bottomed sandwich tin.
- First make the sponge base. Beat together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, flour and milk and ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
- Spoon into the sandwich tin and level the surface.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a skewer comes out cleanly. Mine took about 23 minutes.
- Leave the sponge to cool in the tin on a wire rack.
- When it is cool, use a knife or wire to cut the "dome" off the sponge as you need a nice flat surface for the mousse to sit on. I cut mine so I had a sponge disc that was 2cm tall.
- Sit the sponge disc on a plate and place a 20cm patissiere's ring over it. I used this because it was much deeper than a cake tin. If you don't have a 9cm tall patissiere's ring then use a 20cm springform tin (without the base) and build up the height using foil or baking paper. However you achieve it, what you're aiming for is the sponge sitting very snugly at that bottom of a 20cm ring with 9cm depth.
- Now make the mousse: Puree the strawberries (I used my food processor to do this) and place in a saucepan along with the icing sugar.
- Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water for 4-5 minutes.
- Heat the puree and icing sugar until it just reaches boiling point. Taste, to ensure it is sweet enough. If it isn't, add icing sugar to taste. Leave to cool slightly.
- When the puree is cooler (but still warm) squeeze out any water from the gelatine leaves and stir into the puree ensuring all the gelatine has been fully integrated. Put to one side.
- Whip the cream and icing sugar until the soft peak stage.
- Stir the cooled strawberry puree mix into the cream. Don't panic that it looks very runny!
- If you choose to, cut some strawberries in half and sit them up on the sponge base so the cut side is pressed against the metal ring. This looks pretty when you come to serve it.
- Pour the mousse gently over the sponge base, taking care not to disturb the halved strawberries (if using).
- Refrigerate until set – at least 2 hours.
- When the mousse is set, you can make the topping. Puree the strawberries and stir in the icing sugar.
- Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 4-5 minutes.
- Heat the puree. Squeeze the water from the gelatine leaves before stirring into the warm puree.
- Place some strawberries on top of the set mousse, then pour the puree topping over.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

The big news out of the World Superbike paddock this weekend is that MV Agusta and Yakhnich Motorsport have parted ways. Depending on whose side of the story you want to believe, either MV Agusta has decided to bring its racing in-house mid-season, or Alexander Yakhnich became tired of the slow development from MV Agusta's racing platforms, especially the MV Agusta F4RR.
Regardless of that, MV Agusta and Yakhnich Motorsport have signed an agreement that sees MV Agusta taking over the Italian brand's racing efforts in WSS and WSBK. The move is effective immediately, meaning Sunday's races at Misano will show the first fruits of MV Agusta's involvement.

A shattered lens is a sure recipe for headlight failure, but the owner of this Ford Focus has managed to fail even more in their attempt to remedy the problem.
Take a close look at the lamp. What is it? It's hard to tell at first but if you un-focus your eyes you'll notice the outline of what looks like a pair of pliers and possibly a vice grip. Yep, it's a blister pack from a cheap tool set either burned, blown, or merely aged by sunlight after being shoved into the headlight. Brilliant.
This particular Focus was spotted at a Myrtle Beach area mall parking lot where the owner, we're guessing, was in search of cheap towels they planned to duct tape into a comforter.

Higher Education in France
France is currently the fourth most popular study destination in the world, and it's no wonder with its excellent culture, highly rated university system and the draw of relatively low tuition. Each year, close to 300,000 students travel to France for the sole purpose of studying in its schools.
The higher education system in France can be a little confusing. The system is being standardized into a three-level system, which makes it a little easier to understand. Today, undergraduate students will begin by pursuing a License, which is similar to a bachelor's degree. This is followed by master level training. The final level of training is the doctorat. The license takes three years to complete, with two years necessary for a master program. A doctorat program usually requires three additional years.
France's universities are state-funded, so tuition is not high. Plan to spend about €200-€400 per year, depending on the studies you are pursuing and the university you attend. The exception to this are French business schools. Most business schools are privately owned, and tuition can be over €15,000 a year.
France has fairly open enrollment for first-year undergraduate programs. However, after the first year, students will need to pass a series of exams, which can be highly competitive, to find a place as second-year students. The country also has a system of selective schools called "Grandes Écoles", which only select students are chosen for, and these have selective entrance exams, higher tuition and more prestige.
The academic year in France begins in late September, with a spring semester starting in early February. Holidays are held during Christmas and New Years, as well as All Saints' Day and Easter. Most schools also have a spring break and three months of summer holiday.
Upon graduation, many students go on to pursue scientific study programs. These one- to three-month programs can be subsidized through a high-level scientific study program grant, which covers travel costs, tuition and living expenses.
Visa Requirements
If you are coming to study in France from a country in the European Union, you will not need to apply for a student visa. If your home country is outside the EU, then you will need to visit a French consulate to get a student visa prior to traveling to the country. Your visa will serve as proof of your residency status during your first year of study. After a year, you will need to apply for a Carte de Sejour. Also, you will need to register with the local immigration office within 30 days of your arrival in the country.
Because of the lost cost of tuition and high interest by international students, you will want to make your plans for studying in France early. While entrance to the universities will not be much of a difficulty if you are a first-year student, finding housing and getting your paperwork in order takes some time. If you need financial aid, you will want to apply for a study or course grant as well.
As you prepare to study in France, you will be among some of the world's top thinkers. You'll have the opportunity to study in halls that were once graced by names like Sartre, Durkheim or Marie Curie. While the process of applying to the universities and working through the red tape can be daunting, in the end you will receive a quality education at a surprisingly affordable price, making the effort well worth taking.

Hello all! Its been a long time, I got so busy with life but I'm back!!
My doctor recently talked me into re trying a headache medication. My mother and I did some research and found that this new medication doesn't sound worth a try.
What have you tried and what has helped?
I took migraine medication before my surgery, but have not taken any pain or headache medication since 2007. I'm very cautious with medication.
Thanks for your help!!

BUIES CREEK, N.C. (April 11, 2007) - Powered by a hole in one on the 180-yard, 14th hole at Keith Hills Country Club, ETSU freshman Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia) enjoyed a runner up finish Wednesday in the third and final round of the Atlantic Sun Conference Women's Golf Championship.
Jansone, along with sophomore Lucy Gould (Bargoed, Wales), posted Top 6 finishes on the individual leaderboard, helping the Lady Bucs to a commendable second place finish on the team leaderboard. Host and defending champion Campbell won the team competition by a convincing 29 strokes. It is the second year in a row ETSU has finished second to the Fighting Camels.

That's really adorable. My older son tells me when he likes a dress I'm wearing, but he doesn't at this point tell me he doesn't like it. He'll just go "I like your dress, Mommy." and "you're beautiful mommy!" but it is only in something he REALLY likes. Isaiah is a darling boy to be honest with you like that. Your legs are fine though.

Guitar slinger and Austin native Gary Clark Jr. is one of the new faces of contemporary men's lifestyle brand John Varvatos. For the brand's spring 2013 campaign, Clark joins legendary musician Jimmy Page. The campaign ads were shot at the famed 1950's art deco Rivoli Ballroom in London.
Clark joins a string of rock 'n' roll style makers who have been past John Varvatos collaborators such as Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick and Green Day among others.
"Gary Clark Jr. is the real deal – amazing guitar player, singer, songwriter and friend," said designer Varvatos in a statement. "Having 'The Master' and the 'Young Guitar-Slinger' together in our campaign is a dream come true."
Clark wears a Lichen green linen/viscose asymmetric closure peak lapel cutaway jacket with split label seam, a matching vest and wide straight leg dress pants and Bowery boots. Some shots also feature Clark wearing John Varvatos retro sunglasses. The campaign's short film also features Clark performing "When My Train Pulls In."
Clark's debut album "Blak and Blu" was released in October, the same month he stepped onto the Austin City Limits Music Festival stage at Zilker Park. To watch the John Varvatos' short film and see the new spring line, visit johnvarvatos.com.

I've written at some length on the Christian movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), a group that's been getting increased media scrutiny lately due to their proximity to presidential candidates like Texas governor Rick Perry. Some may believe I'm over-stating their influence, or that I'm being somewhat paranoid in my coverage, so it's always a good thing to have relatively level-headed media outlets to compare your own findings/suspicions with. Back in August the NPR interview program "Fresh Air" interviewed Rachel Tabachnick of Talk To Action, a leading researcher into this movement, and promised to follow-up interview with a NAR member for rebuttal/response. Today that promise is fulfilled as the show interviews C. Peter Wagner, one of key architects and Apostles of this movement. It is Wagner who articulated the movement's battle against the "Queen of Heaven," and penned several books on the subject of spiritual warfare.
While the audio and transcript isn't up yet (though it will be up later today), they have posted some highlights from the interview that touch on some of the most controversial statements and beliefs held by New Apostolic Reformation members.
"The sun goddess [Amaterasu] is not a very nice lady. The sun goddess is a power of darkness, which is headed up by the kingdom of Satan. And so the sun goddess wants natural disasters to come to Japan."
"An apostle, a friend of mine in Nepal, once told me that every Christian believer in Nepal that he knows of has been delivered from demons. That their former Hindu religion had implanted or the demons had gained access and that in order to become Christian believers, the demons had to be cast out. Of course, we have many examples in the Bible of the same thing."
"What [Pastor] Thomas [Muthee] was probably doing, and he and I are friends also, what he was probably doing was speculating that there would be some people who practiced witchcraft and other forms of the occult who would try and take Sarah Palin down through certain rituals or curses or other techniques that witches have and try to destroy her through those things. And I think Thomas was praying a shield of protection around Sarah so that she would not be affected by them."
There's more, and probably much more in the interview itself, so I urge everyone interested in this subject to check it out. Wagner does try to soft-peddle accusations of theocratic ambitions, and the intentions of the upcoming "DC40" prayer event. He also claims that they "respect all religions" (even Pagan religions?). I'll let you decide whether this is still a movement you find problematic, or if you've been convinced that they have no untoward designs towards the rights of non-Christians.

Katie Holmes makes an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which airs on Friday (April 1).
The 32-year-old actress told Ellen about her daughter Suri being photographed holding a box of "penis gummies."
"Recently, I took her to get ice cream in New York at this place called Serendipity that we go to all the time. It's for kids," Katie said. "The clientele is children. We go in and we are waiting for a table and she grabs some gummies that are boy part gummies. I was horrified."
"P-e-n-i-s gummies," Katie spelled out. "I said, oh wow those aren't Swedish fish."
"They are called p-e-n-i-s gummies and they look like it. She was holding the box and I was like ok, wow we don't need that right now. Because I thought if I said put that back and then she's going to say, what is this? And I really didn't want to have that conversation. I was like, why are selling these here? This is for kids. And then it was on the cover of a magazine that I'm giving her those gummies."

Title: Jimmy Rogers papers, 1930-2008
Primary Creator: Rogers, Jimmy (1924-1997)
Extent: 14.0 Boxes
Arrangement: This collection was arranged using More Product Less Process (MPLP) at Box level. While the collection includes personal business material, photographs, audio materials and artifacts, these items are scattered throughout the 14 boxes that make up the collection.
Date Acquired: 03/01/2014
Subjects: Kansas life and culture
Languages: English
Jimmy Rogers (1924-1997) was a Chicago blues singer, guitarist and harmonica players who was born James A. Lane in Rule, Mississippi. An association of Robert Lockwood, Jr., Muddy Waters and Little Water, Rogers became known for his rhythm guitar and his South Side Chicago sound.
The bulk of the collection consists of photograph albums documenting Jimmy Rogers' later career, circa 1970-1979. Studio recordings, address books, business cards, mementos, awards and musical instruments are also included.
Some items of interest include typed lyric sheets of "Goos Pond" by Rogers who stated he started writing this work in 1941 at Vance, Mississippi and "Don't Start Me To Talking" by Rogers that is not dated; performance dates, times, costs, hotels, etc. for all dates from July 17, 1997 to December 1998 (Rogers died before he could complete all these dates); and photographs of The Aces, Frank Bandy, Scott Bradbury (Badboy Scotty), Lonnie Brooks, Eric Clapton, Frank Craig (Left Hand Frank), Ted Harvey, Walter Horton (Big Walter), Mick Jagger, Robert Johnson, S. P. Leary, Willie Mabon, McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters), Joseph William Perkins (Pinetop), Keith Richards, Willie Lee Smith (Big Eyes) and Cora Anna Walton (Koko Taylor).
Jimmy Rogers (1924-1997) was a key figure in the history of Chicago blues, the hard-edged musical idiom tinged with mystery and sexual innuendo that was a primary influence on the British rock movement of the 1960's that spawned, among others, The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, Cream, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Born in Mississippi in 1924, as a teenager, Jimmy played around the South with the major blues figures of the day. After the World War II in Chicago, he teamed up with Muddy Waters and Littel Water to form the greatest Chicago blues band in history, the original Muddy Waters band. He also played and recorded with Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, and other blues legends, and had several hit records of his own in the 1950's.
Jimmy introduced the electric guitar into Chicago blues, creating the sound that underlies all of rock and roll to this day. The guitar grooves he devised on the classic Muddy Waters recordings of the 1950's formed the stylistic basis for generations of rock guitarist whose whole approach can be traced directly to his innovations in the 1940's and 1950's. Icons of today's rock including Eric Clapton and Keith Richards have cited him as a primary influence.
Jimmy Rogers died in December of 1997 and his influence, reflected in the work of those who followed him, will carry on into the next millennium.

"Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child" is a traditional Negro Spiritual. The song dates back to the era of slavery in the United States, when it was common practice to sell children of slaves away from their parents.
The song is clearly an expression of deep anguish and despair as it conveys the abject hopelessness of a child who has lost its mother.
It has been recorded by many notable artists. Van Morisson, Eric Clapton and by teh trumpeter WYNTON MARSALIS, just to name a few.
Also arranged as an Oboe solo with piano accompaniment; and, for other Woodwind, Saxophone, Brass and String as solo instrumental and ensembles. Please see my homepage for further details.

Sue Shrewsbury, associate broker of Century 21 Red Rock Real Estate, said there were 25 percent more sales closed in September than in the same month a year earlier. Year-to-date closed sales outpaced 2011 by 41 percent as of September, she said.
Meanwhile, the median sale price of homes in the county dropped from $306,000 in September 2011 to $271,000 this September – a drop of about 11 percent.
The average sales price fell even further from September 2011 to the same month this year – from $292,738 to $244,840, according to figures from the Utah Association of Realtors (UAR). That's a decline of 16 percent.
The median price decline from January through September 2011 to the same period this year was significantly smaller – from $230,000 to $226,250.
"I think the year-to-date is a little more accurate" than September-to-September comparisons, Shrewsbury said.
She believes low interest rates and affordability of homes contributed to the higher number of sales in 2012.
"I think interest rates will stay low and [2013] will be another good year," Shrewsbury said. "This was a better year than 2011."
She added that the inventory of homes is lower than a year ago, although 19 single-family homes on the market in Grand County and Spanish Valley are priced below $200,000. Some of those are in move-in condition, Shrewsbury said. There are 75 total single-family homes for sale in the area as of this week.
A residential construction boom apparently is not on the horizon anytime soon.
"I don't think the market has recovered enough for builders to begin anything," Shrewsbury said.
Meanwhile, Grand/San Juan County Board of Realtors president Joe Kingsley said the slightly lower sales prices reflect the economy and some potential buyers' inability to get loans.
"Right now the banks are making loans to high-score individuals or long-term customers," Kingsley said. "For people who have less than perfect credit it is extremely difficult to do. It's next to impossible."
He said the more restrictive lending policies force prices down because they limit the number of people who can buy.
However, Dave Bierscheiied, broker and agent for Moab Realty, said buyers who have the right financial background can get loans.
"On a conventional loan, banks and credit unions will lend money to qualified buyers in a timely manner," he said.
It is more difficult to get a loan for a manufactured home than for a traditional house, Bierschied noted.
"It makes those products a little more difficult to sell," he said.
Bierschied said the condominium and townhouse markets are relatively strong, with prices inching up. He believes the construction of new townhouses in Grand County "is not far off."
The UAR's monthly indicator publication for September identified sluggish job growth, persistently high gas prices, and drought-induced spikes in food prices as factors that could shake consumer confidence in the housing market.
Overall, Bierschied said the local market survived the economic recession better than many places.
"Moab never went where most of the country went," he said. "We didn't go in the tank."

Has there been any details about the Endlaves?
It's like a cross between Code Geass Knightmare frames with Avatar.
While it's impressive since the pilot is safe within friendly lines I do not get why they feedback everything that the machine feels. When Gai was shooting Daryl's head he actually felt it. When Ayase was being beaten she also felt all of the punches like it was her own body.
Doesn't seem to make sense to have a robot that fragile.

Fancy that! I've found information about the Endraves when I was reading some info about the spinoff game!
正式名称は"Endoskeleton remote slave armor"=「内骨格型遠隔遠隔操縦式装甲車両」。内骨格に複数のモーターや電動アクチュエータ、バッテ リーをマウントした、人が乗り込まず遠隔操作で操る人型のロボット兵器。アポカリプスウィルス研究の副産物 として生まれた「ゲノムレゾナンス伝送技術」によって、操縦者は感覚を完全に「メカ側」に移行するため、あ たかも自分がエンドレイヴになったかのような感覚で操縦することができる。
技術の発展に伴ってアニメ本編の2039年では小型化・人型化が進むエンドレイヴだが、ゲームの舞台となる 2029年は、まだエンドレイヴの運用が始まったばかりであり、かなり大型ユニットで重機の面影を色濃く残 している。
Translation is always welcome!
Also about the two types of them:
10年後のアニメ本編のエンドレイヴとは異なり、かなり大型のユニットで、重機の面影を色濃く残し ている。

Is the Power of King seems weak to you? I mean, you can only draw someone who is below 17 year old. This alone makes this power restricted to many scenarios.
But then, if you make the power of king can be drawn from everyone, it would be too overpowered.
So I wonder, what is the best solution for this if you are the writer to make it flexible to use and at the same time, it doesn't give you the feeling of overpowered or instant win?

This would in a sense enable near endless array of movement with the pilot effectively moving the suit as if it was their own body.
They see through the senses of the suit and a price for that is that they share the frame's pain and are forcefully ejected when damage is too great to avoid excessive mental trauma.
By having the pilot safe behind the lines, you can simply put them into the next available unit. That way if a particular unit was given a special assignment and was taken out, they could simply swap the pilot out of the next immediately available frame and continue the mission.
It's very similar to how the Tau Crisis Suits are piloted in the WH40K universe. Except the pilot is really in the suit. And I can't remember the exact name for it but I recall reading some fluff stating that if a suit lost an arm in combat, the Shas would often feel as if they truly lost a limb and would often lead to excessive mental trauma. (PTSD)
Laugh now but I highly suspect this sort of Command and Control will be common place in the military of the future.

If it was like Avatar then I have no issue with it.
These are mechanical beings that do not share the same skin as organics so how is it that they can feel pain on that level?
It's ridiculous as it means even a light infantryman can take one down by simply firing rounds at the head to cause trauma pain.

At the end of the film come the credits. First, all the key players - and then, as the lights go up and the audience begins to slip away, there scrolls up the screen a seemingly endless catalogue of others, some with barely comprehensible functions. These are the unsung heroes of any creative process and they should never be forgotten. They are indispensable.
As John O'Keeffe says in his own introduction: the work in this book, in all categories, is world class..Those talented craftsmen and women whose work it is have my unbounded admiration and gratitude. This is why our clients come to us and indeed why WPP exists.
So I'm sure our creative elite will be happy to join me in recognising all those other talents in our companies - those inevitably less exposed to the limelight - without whom this work would be neither as fine as it is nor as effective.
They are the unsung heroes of our own creative process - and they should never be forgotten. We thank them, too.

Great fishing at Almanor: state's second-largest manmade lake
Lake Almanor sits at 4,500-feet elevation, at the foot of Mount Lassen. At its widest point, Lake Almanor is 13 miles wide and six miles long.
While it's the second-largest manmade lake in California to Lake Shasta, it's not necessarily deep. Depths might reach 90 feet plus in the old river channel and places around the dam, but for the most part, you're trolling or anchored in depths of 45 feet.
This lake holds some of the best trophy-sized fish you'll find anywhere. Almanor has a major population of rainbow and German brown trout and a continuing population of landlocked Chinook salmon. There are smallmouth bass and brown bullhead catfish.
What provides food for all these fish? Many years ago, a small fish called Japanese Pond Smelt was added to the lake, and if you have a good scope aboard the boat, you can spot massive schools, often with game fish close by.
Anglers generally coexist well with water recreationists, mainly water skiers and jet-ski type watercraft.
There are resorts of all descriptions around the lake that can host you in their cabins, motel-type units or your RV. At the south end of the lake is the PG&E campgrounds and public boat ramp that hosts many campers, from tests to RVs.
There's another public boat ramp just north of Plumas Pines Resort along the west shore.
Year after year, we pretty much have to search for where the fish are lurking. In May, they never seem to be in the same place where you found them the year prior. In 2011, there were massive numbers of fish along the long east shore; this year, just about no fish.
We began our first outing near the mouth of Hamilton Branch, trolling north through part of Big Springs. We finally got bit in the northeast corner of the lake, picking up a small salmon that we quickly unhooked and returned.
We trolled the north end of Big Cove and went south and trolled the east side of the peninsula. Total bites: Zero.
Day two, we ventured around the peninsula point to troll the west side of the lake. Bingo. We tallied two- to three-pound German browns and king salmon to two pounds.
Day three, we trolled the western shoreline, continuing to the dam and then all along the east shore back north to Hamilton Branch. No hits at all.
From then on, we concentrated on trolling the west side of the peninsula, from the point nearly to Bailey Creek.
And for this time of year, the fish are deep. We're running lead-core lines out at 7-8 colors and downriggers down 32-40 feet. We start at those depths early in the morning and end the fishing day, often at mid afternoon, at the same depth.
Rainbows are really hard to come by, but that's generally the case in May.
There's a ton of small king salmon and many keeper salmon to three pounds.
The big fish for the bag are the German brown trout. It's common to tally a bunch of two-pounders. Linda, my other half, lost a monster brown trout right behind the boat when the fish was able to spit out the hook.
A couple of hours later, she outfought a 5½-pound brown, a fight that lasted nearly a half-hour. Right after that, I lost a rainbow that would have gone four pounds. It did a lot of jumping, clearing the water's surface by three feet or more.
The brown trout will quickly grab a small Rebel or Rapala. We stuck strictly with plastic worms and used a variety of brands with a high success rate.
Even professional guides agree Lake Almanor is an under-fished lake. There are big fish there — trophy- and bragging-sized fish.
Current fishing
Shad: Some of the best action is being found in the afternoons, and you don't need a boat. Shore casting at Miller Park and the mouth of the American are showing good rod-bending action. Go with light gear and you can have a blast with hook-ups and the resulting fight.
Lake Oroville: The lake is close enough to say "full." Most females are spawned out so if you want a heavyweight female, it's too late. Males remain in the shallows protecting the nests, and they'll pretty much snap at anything that comes close.
Lake Davis: There are rainbows to 17 inches being found by those top-lining five to 15 feet down. Lures such as Needlefish and Humdingers work, but a good old crawler (remember, rubber worms) are hauling in their share. Camp 5 and Honker Cove to the island are producing the best.
Pretty good success is being found at nearby Frenchman's by boaters and the shore bound. Do your casting around the dam end of the lake.
Stampede Reservoir: The lake is scheduled for a plant of rainbows, but if you head up into the Sagehen or Little Truckee River arms, you can troll or anchor and soak bait and get into a rainbow bite, fish that weren't just planted. Brown trout and mackinaw also are hanging out in those waters. Kokanee are hitting but running small.
San Francisco Bay: Live bait is available, and boats are running for halibut. It's not a hot bite, but indicators are there it should be a good summer season for "butts." Most boats aren't tallying a fish for every person, but on a good day, it's close. Boats like my favorite party boat out of Berkeley — California Dawn — will make a combo trip that includes stripers, rock cod and halibut. That way, you come home with something.

My lil' heart is in a year-round school, so we get a very short summer break. She was in school through 6/19, so we celebrated our first day of summer Wednesday by going to the local art museum, having lunch together and picking enough wild blackberries to bake a cobbler.

European Court Of Justice Says ISPs Cannot Be Forced To Be Copyright Cops
from the good-for-them dept
EU law precludes the imposition of an injunction by a national court which requires an internet service provider to install a filtering system with a view to preventing the illegal downloading of files.We had mentioned this was likely earlier this year, when the Advocate General had recommended such a ruling, and now the court has agreed. The specific case involved a fight between Belgian anti-piracy organization/collection agency SABAM and ISP Scarlet. A Belgian court had ruled that Scarlet had to implement a filter that would magically end infringement, or it would face "periodic penalty." Of course, that's an impossible request. The courts ruling says that a copyright holder can file for an injunction, but it must "respect the limitations" of EU law, including a prohibition on "general monitoring of information" that goes over an ISP's network.
Such an injunction does not comply with the prohibition on imposing a general monitoring obligation on such a provider, or with the requirement to strike a fair balance between, on the one hand, the right to intellectual property, and, on the other, the freedom to conduct business, the right to protection of personal data and the freedom to receive or impart information.
In this regard, the Court finds that the injunction in question would require Scarlet to actively monitor all the data relating to each of its customers in order to prevent any infringement of intellectual-property rights. It follows that the injunction would impose general monitoring, something which is incompatible with the E-Commerce Directive. Moreover, such an injunction would not respect the applicable fundamental rights.The court also makes a good point. While intellectual property should be respected, nothing in the law says it should be "absolutely protected" in such a way that tramples many other rights. It seems that many supporters of more stringent copyright laws always seem to forget this point. They don't much care about the collateral damage.

Lucasfilm announced Wednesday that the "Star Wars" films will be converted into 3-D and rereleased theatrically. All six films of the saga, beginning with episode one, "The Phantom Menace," and concluding with episode six, "Return of the Jedi," are expected to be released in theaters in 2012.
Lucasfilm and distributor Twentieth Century Fox have not yet set a release date. Industrial Light & Magic is supervising the conversion process, which it promises will be "cutting edge." Many previous conversions of films shot in 2-D, such as "Clash of the Titans," have drawn criticism for cheapening 3-D.
John Knoll, visual effects supervisor for Industrial Light & Magic said a proper conversion to 3-D "is a matter of taking the time and getting it right."

This is a brilliant product. I liked it very much straight of the beginning. Unfortunately the PostgreSQL database is not very popular and tools like this one are not very much as well. I would like to say to all users that use PostgreSQL that this is The Tool for them.
I needed to show a screen shot of the data base diagram but is so dificult to organize the tables so they do not overlap.
Didn't find this app half as useful as the GNU licensed PGAdminIII.Won't be using or purchasing this product.
Being Master of my own design-domein "anything a developer ever wanted at the tip of his/her indexfinger" would be a nice short description of EMS SQL Manager for PostgreSQL.Nice tools right were you want them to be, any build-in feature of PostgreSQL available.

The co-op in the game functions well enough if you can get past the split-screen. With a fighter like this, it would have made more sense to not have the split-screen. Not only does it remove more than half of the actual environment, but it makes it very confusing if you ever casually glance over to the left or right, as it uses a vertical screen. If there was a need for split-screen, I think it would have benefited from horizontal split-screen.
The game's two strengths reside in the graphics and the sound work. Graphically, this title is top-notch by any downloadable game standard. The environments are fluid with the tone set in the graphic novel. They add a sense of realism to the underbelly of 1972 New York that sets the overall tone of the game. The character models accurately depict the characters, with the exception of the countless clones of enemies you will face. The animation, at times, seems a little staunch as well. However, the lighting and weather effects in the levels help the characters really come to life. The cutscenes are delivered in the same style as Dave Gibbons' art and uses the flash animation style of the movie.
Having the actors reprise their roles for the voice work was a smart choice. However, as much as I like the actor portraying Rorschach in the film, I found it mind-numbing hearing him dribble dialogue in the game. It came so often and so frequent that it was more distracting than appeasing. The other complaint I have about the dialogue is the use of certain curse words. Normally, dropping the "F-bomb" in a game and other colorful sentence enhancers is ok, but when you have a movie that doesn't use the same vein of language it can be harmful on both sides of the spectrum. It's like having Mickey Mouse in a Looney Tunes game.
Watchmen: The End is Nigh deserves to be called a great downloadable game. However, I can't give it that nod for one main reason: the price tag. Twenty bucks for a game that is no more than three hours long, with simplistic control schemes, and a less than meaningful story is not a smart choice. It functions as fan service more than anything else. If there was more meat to this game, the price could be rationalized. Unfortunately, most will rather save their money to see the feature film than to experience an adventure with Rorschach and Nite Owl before the events of Watchmen.
