The Evolution of My Washington, DC Metro Map
Now that I've finally brought my DC Metro map fully up to date, I thought it would be interesting to compare all four versions – the first dating back to February 2010, way before the announcement that Lance Wyman would be redesigning the map to accommodate the Silver Line.
The first version is unique in that it includes commuter rail and Amtrak lines as well as the Metro lines, shown by a thinner light purple line, a la the Boston "T" map's representation of its commuter rail. I was working on my Amtrak as Subway Map project at the time, so adding this type of detail was important to me. Feedback seemed to indicate that Washingtonians didn't think that this was really necessary – knowing which stations allowed interchange between services was enough – so it was dropped from future versions.
Normal stations are indicated by a white "pill" shape that spans across the route lines. Originally, these were individual dots – one for each line at a given station – but many people seemed to find this confusing. You'll see that the symbology for stations is the part of the map that changes the most across the different versions as I sought to find the best solution.
Innovations in this map compared to the official map at the time (and now similarly adopted into the new Silver Line map, coincidentally or not) include letter designations for each line (I use a single letter, the official map appends an "L" for "Line" to each letter) instead of the minuscule "<COLOR> LINE" text that used to run alongside each route; and the introduction of a dogleg in the southern part of the Green Line to place the Southern Avenue and Naylor Road stations more accurately in relation to the District/Prince George's County border.
However, the type on this version is considerably smaller than any of my other maps, and the colour used for parkland is a bit too bright and overpowering. Note also that the Silver Line just runs dead straight once it diverges from the Orange Line, something I wasn't entirely happy with at the time and would remedy in the next version.
Version 2 is my entry for the Greater Greater Washington "Design the Metro Map" contest back in May 2011. Although it won the "People's Choice Award" and came second in the juried voting, I now think it's definitely the weakest of the four maps. Quite frankly, I think I was trying to be just a little bit too clever with some of my design choices, and the map suffers because of it.
In a search for a way to visually depict the odd service patterns on the Red Line and the Peak Orange/Yellow Lines, I thought I would add separate route lines for these services so that a trip could be unambiguously traced from end to end. However, the explanation required in the legend was still confusing, and the additional lines on the map meant that all the route lines now became unacceptably thin and spindly. Spelling out the colour designations for each line in full was also not one of my finer ideas – "PEAK ORANGE" takes up a lot of space – and I reverted back to single letters in the next iteration. The station symbol – a white strip that cuts through the route lines – is the weakest solution used, and definitely made relating station labels to their symbols more difficult than it should have been.
On the plus side, the type for labels was now larger and the configuration of the Silver Line with its bend through Tysons Corner was something I was much happier with. I personally also prefer the 45-degree-angle configuration of the Orange/Silver lines from Rosslyn to Ballston over the previous horizontal one, although this still seems to be a bone of contention with some reviewers of my maps. In reality, the routes head in a direction somewhere between the two angles, so there's no "perfect" solution in an octolinear map like this.
Version 3 is my response to both the draft Lance Wyman map and the other maps submitted to the GGW contest. I abandoned my extra "service pattern" route lines from Version 2 and thickened the route lines back up again, which makes the map graphically stronger. I eagerly embraced the single best idea to come out of the contest – subtitles for stations that had ridiculously long names – which helped a lot with reducing extraneous visual clutter. The single best feature that I introduced with this map was the simple but effective "walking" icon to show the free out-of-system transfer between Farragut West and Farragut North stations: a real "Eureka!" moment for me.
Station symbols are now "ticks" that point towards their labels: a big improvement over the previous devices, but perhaps a little short to be really useful.
Version 4 is the "final" product, based on the final configuration of Phase I of the Silver Line and feedback from Version 3. Station ticks are now much longer to definitively "point" at their label, which works excellently in my opinion. I've added parkland along the Anacostia River to match the new official map's representation and made a bunch of other minor little tweaks and fixes.
Is it perfect? No, but that was never really the point. I always wanted to make a map that was decidedly different to the official one, to show that there are always alternate solutions to the same design problems. Thinner route lines versus thicker ones, ticks versus whiskered circles, horizontal labels versus angled labels, and so on. Each decision a designer makes affects the look and usability of the final product, and I wanted to make something that had its own unique look and feel while still serving the same purpose as the official map. And in that, I think I've succeeded.
Unofficial Map: Washington DC Metro Map with Silver Line, 2014
Just because I don't like leaving things unfinished, here's a new version of my Washington DC Metro map with the final configuration of the Phase I Silver Line shown. For reference, here's my previous version from 2011.
Like the official map, I've left the Phase II Silver Line stations unnamed, which is probably a wise choice, seeing all the variants that the Phase I stations went through! Flipping the Silver Line to the southern side of the Orange Line before East Falls Church was something else that the official map got right, and I've emulated that here as well. Only a few other minor tweaks: a couple of station name changes and a darkening of the Red Line colour to aid colour-blind users a little more. What do you think?
Edit – Morning, August 6, 2014: Thanks to Peter Dovak for a couple of tweaks: NoMa–Gallaudet U is now named correctly, and Phase II of the Silver Line's completion date has been pushed out (unsurprisingly) to 2018. I've swapped in a new image above, and I've updated the version over on Flickr.
Evening, August 6, 2014: Further edits based on feedback today, especially from the comments left on this Greater Greater Washington post about the map. Changes include the addition of parkland along the Anacostia River as shown on the official map, lengthened "ticks" for stations so that they're not so "nubby", route letters in circles instead of squares so that they can't be confused with the parking icon, proper designation of Wiehle-Reston East as the current western terminus of the Silver Line, and a few minor fixes and clean ups here and there.

Historical Map: WMATA Metro Planning Map, 1968
WMATA planning map, dated March 1, 1968 and last revised by the WMATA Board on June 11, 1970.
Please view a full-size, searchable version of the map. (Navigational tools are at the bottom of the map.)
On March 1, 1968, WMATA officially adopted a 97.2 mile regional system in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. On February 7, 1969, WMATA revisited the rapid rail plan and relocated three of the stations, calling instead for 97.7 miles of track. The total system cost was $2.5 billion ($15.9 billion in today's dollars) consisting of $835 million of revenue bonds issued by WMATA, $1.1 billion in federal funding, and $573.5 million from local sources. On June 11, 1970, the WMATA Board adopted a realignment of 2.5 miles of a mid-city route to better serve the city center. This revised version is posted above.
Metro originally had a future route planned to Dulles Airport—the final destination of Phase 2 of the soon-to-open Silver Line—the first half of which (to McLean, Tysons, Greensboro, Spring Hill, and Wiehle-Reston) is scheduled to begin service on Saturday, July 26, 2014.
This version of WMATA's planning map also features a different path for a route that would materialize as Metro's Green Line. The proposed north-south route through the District was set to feature a station near Logan Circle and run north toward a terminus in Laurel, Md. An alternate route trajectory, which was then being studied by WMATA, ran up-and-down 7th Street NW and featured station locations near what are now the Mt Vernon Sq 7th St-Convention Center and Shaw-Howard U Metro Stations.
According to this map, Metro also planned for a Metro line along a route that is similar to one followed by the proposed Columbia Pike streetcar in Arlington, Va.
Pro Tip: Note how the Metro Station names have changed over time.
Simple but effective interactive map from the Washington Post introducing the Silver Line, which opens for revenue service in just over a month!

Illustration: Walking the Paris Métro by Hwan Lee
This is just beautiful.
Artist Hwan Lee has walked (yes, walked!) to 261 Métro stations in Paris, sketching their many and varied entrances, from the spectacular Hector Guimard-designed Art Nouveau édicules at Abbesses and Porte Dauphine to the more prosaic entrances of the modern Ligne 14. The lively sketches of each entrance are arranged nicely onto a stylised Métro map, with Lee's walking path denoted by a trail of feet all over the city. Delightful!

Official Map: Daytime Transport Services of Budapest, Hungary
In addition to the Metro/suburban rail only map that was introduced with the new Metro Line 4, there's also this more comprehensive city map that adds tram, key bus routes, ferries and more to the mix. It's more directly analogous to the old Budapest map (July 2012, 2.5 stars), and is also highly reminiscent of this Prague integrated transit map (August 2012, 4 stars).
Definitely aimed at tourists (the PDF file even has the word "turisztikai" in its file name) to give them a good idea of transit options within the central city, the map does a good job of that: the river and park areas work nicely to define the shape of the city and the Metro is given good hierarchical prominence. There's even some nicely executed simple icons for points of interest around town.
Instead of the approach taken on the previous map, where each tram line was given its own colour, here they're all represented by yellow. It's a little odd that it's the exact same colour as Metro Line 1, but the difference in stroke weight makes it immediately obvious which is which. Key bus routes are shown in blue, and the unique cogwheel railway (Line 60) is highlighted in magenta. For those who are curious, the "Children's Railway" shown to the far left of the map is not necessarily a railway for children, it's a railway operated by children (apart from adult supervision and the actual driver of the train).
The only real flaws with this map in my eyes are some overly fussy route lines for buses, particularly the 291 just north of Metro Line 2 on the west side of the river and the strangely jarring choice of Times New Roman for neighbourhood names.
Our rating: Excellent overview of transportation options in Budapest. Looks good and is easy to follow. Four stars.

Official Map: Budapest Metro and Suburban Rail, 2014
With the recent opening of Budapest's Metro Line 4, there's been a rethink behind the city's transit map. The previous version (July 2012, 2.5 stars) tried to show everything – Metro, suburban rail, regional rail, tram and key bus routes – on one map, but it was all a bit of a mess. With so many thin, colour-coded lines (using a strangely limited palette), things became very difficult to understand.
Hence this new approach, where the services are split out into separate maps. This map just shows the Metro and suburban rail services within the city (arrows point towards more distant destinations). Connections to regional rail services are simply indicated by a railway station icon. Another map (which I'll cover later) adds bus and tram services, but takes a different approach to the previous version.
As a simple Metro map, this isn't half bad. It's easy to follow, and the simplified treatment of the river gives some nice geographical context, dividing the city neatly into its "Buda" and "Pest" components. The closeness of the stations on Metro Line 1 makes it look somewhat like a dashed "under construction" line – a drawback of using station symbols that are the same colour as the route line they're on, but it seems to work well elsewhere.
I do miss the old Metro logo: it was one of my favourites from around the world. The new one is functional enough, I guess, and matches the corresponding new suburban rail "H" nicely, but it just lacks the distinctively East European character of the previous one.
Our rating: Solid, clean and clear. Not amazing, but better than some. Three stars.

Unofficial Future Map: Melbourne Metro Train Network by Bernie Ng
Submitted by Bernie, whose excellent map of Singapore (Nov. 2013, 3.5 stars) has already been featured on this site. Bernie says:
Hi Cameron,
I saw your post about the new Victorian Rail Network concept map (April 2014, 3.5 stars) by PTV and was very impressed - it's quite a quantum leap forward from the existing map. I thought I'd have a go at further redefining the map, but for the Melbourne Metro network only. (I personally don't see the value in putting the regional/metro network in one map – an average user won't really need both networks together, and as you say, scale is an issue.)
Quite naturally, the City Loop is used as the visual focal point. I was hoping it could be placed in the centre of the map, but given the lopsided nature of Melbourne, it was not quite possible. I have added some of the proposed extensions for the network, including the metro tunnel running through the city, creating a bypass from the congested loop. (This tunnel is currently attracting lots of debate - the latest government proposal is to run it south of the loop via Montague - although I prefer the original proposed route and have shown that on the map.)
Stopping patterns are shown as they are relatively simple compared to Sydney's. Most routes operate all stops, or with one all stops and one limited stops service. With recent interest on "clockface" or "turn-up-and-go" services, the map indicates which stations have services at least every 15 minutes or better during the daytime.
Each line is assigned a letter code for easier identification, especially for tourists. The letters are assigned in a counterclockwise order, starting with A-Line for Airport (Tullamarine) services.
Melbourne public transport uses a fare zone system, but the number of zones have been reduced over the years. I would actually prefer to have more zones, which result in the ability to charge fares more commensurate with the distance travelled. This map shows fare zones in 10km increments from Southern Cross station. (I also have a cleaner version of the map omitting the zones.)
The font used is Source Sans Pro – thanks so much for the tip! It is indeed a really great font. Very visually pleasing with high legibility. Perfect for maps.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the map.
Transit Maps says:
This is great work once again from Bernie: a very attractive map that features some distinctive and lovely flowing route lines. The representation of the City Loop as a perfect circle is deftly handled and a perfect focal point for the map (the ever-important visual "hook" that helps a map stand out from the crowd). However, I'm not so keen on the way that the labels for the stations on the loop are angled as if they were spokes on a wheel – Bernie's done an otherwise excellent job of constraining labels to just two angles (horizontal and reading up from bottom left to top right), and this just seems a little gimmicky and fussy to me.
Bernie's frequency icons are a nice usability touch (it's always nice to know that you're never more than 15 minutes away from the next train!), but I'm less convinced by his attempts to show service patterns. Looking at the legend, he's using eight different station icons to convey this information, which is a lot to ask users of the map to remember. And – at least in the smaller image size that Tumblr allows – it's pretty tricky to tell some of those icons apart visually. I'm generally in favour of letting timetables deal with the nitty-gritty of showing local/express route combinations, and this treatment doesn't really convince me otherwise, although I certainly appreciate the effort Bernie has put into it.
Speaking of the legend, it really is beautifully put together and very comprehensive. Placing it neatly into Port Phillip Bay really works pretty much perfectly.
About the only other comment I have is regarding Bernie's proposed route naming conventions. If I was giving route designations based simply on the alphabet as Bernie has done here, I would start at the one nearest the 12 o'clock position (probably Bernie's "T" South Morang route) and continue in a clockwise direction, rather than anti-clockwise. It's simply far more intuitive to use a universally understood convention like this to make finding route lines easier. Yes, "A" for "Airport" is hard to resist, but none of the other routes have any correlation between their destination stations and the letter designation, so the "A" should be as easy to find as possible.
Our rating: Looks fabulous, but perhaps tries a little too hard to convey a lot of information. Still, I have to applaud Bernie for pushing the envelope and attempting something a little out of the box (and mainly succeeding). Three-and-a-half stars.

In an age of shifting sands, Guardian still knows the value of a good rebrand
The evolution of the media market is again top of mind this week, as the boardroom dynamo Anna Watkins returns to the spotlight in her new role at Guardian Labs. Lightning quick, personable and full of passion, Initiative's loss definitely feels like the news brand's gain.
Arif Durrani, head of media at Campaign, editor of Media Week
There are plenty of questions swirling around GLabs, not least whether the branded content division represents an emerging new business model or rather a rebadge of something already well-established.
I'd suggest the scale of The Guardian's open journalism platform – which attracts more than 85 million browsers a month – and rising social currency have breathed new life into the title's partnerships activity. GLabs has set its stall out as a multimedia agency-type operation, with the focus firmly on creative and strategic initiatives. The unit will be a welcome addition at the publisher.
Don't be blindsided when Guardian leaders talk of £56 million from digital revenues in its last financial year – once you strip out recruitment classifieds and subscriptions, the publisher's digital display ads still only accounted for £25 million. Meanwhile, print ads and revenue from copy sales continue to fall.
With Watkins at the helm, you wouldn't bet against GLabs landing more seven-figure tie-ups like its one with Unilever. Creative solutions is a major growth area for publishers, with most agencies expanding their sponsorship and partnerships divisions, while planners are starting to generate their own briefs too.
The Guardian's open journalism and rising social currency have breathed new life into its partnerships activity
Seizing the initiative, The Guardian's editor-in-chief, Alan Rusbridger, and chief executive, Andrew Miller, were among those extolling the values of its open journalism to agencies in Fitzroy Square last week.
The presentation, in a house where each room represented a different editorial section, was well-received and further underlined the publisher's point of difference among those responsible for media budgets.
It all smacks of smart, joined-up thinking over at Kings Place, and reflects the move away from traditional media – something Havas Media's chief executive, Paul Frampton, touched on in a City AM article last week. "No longer will we invest in staff for old-school traditional media channels. Everything is now more focused on two strands: data and content," he said.
I would have loved to have seen the face of Havas' seasoned trading leader, Alan Brydon, when he read that line. At Havas, display's share of total client spend (19 per cent) is set to overtake press this year and close the gap on TV (38 per cent).
The direction of travel for the progressive media agency is set, and with traditional spend notably larger at many of Havas' rivals – at Carat TV still represents 46 per cent of all spend, at OMD 48 per cent – being fleet of foot in the transition is one thing Frampton has over his larger, consolidating rivals.
"I'm not saying ditch the old," Frampton tells me, "but there's no point in looking back."

Oscar may only have joined Chelsea this summer but the Brazil international is thinking long-term about his future at Stamford Bridge, with the Daily Mirror reporting that the midfielder has revealed he wants to become a Chelsea icon the stature of John Terry or Frank Lampard.
The £25m signing from Internacional only made his first Chelsea start last month but immediately grabbed the headlines, scoring twice in the Champions League against the Serie A title-winners Juventus. Oscar's first goal beat Juventus' legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon with the help of a deflection, but his memorable second stunned the Italy international with its power, accuracy and movement through the air.
Oscar remarked that his performance against Juventus has changed the way people in England view him as a player, something he is keen to maintain, and added that he hopes he can replicate what the likes of Terry and Lampard mean at the club.
He said: "I hope to have the same path as Lampard and Terry here at Chelsea. They have a great career at the club and are very important for the squad. They are big idols."

I'm well aware that rationality or rational thinking tends to be associated with atheism or any school of thought that negates a concept that lacks empirical evidence. But, what I learned is that rationality isn't dissonant with spirituality, in fact, it morally compels a person to go beyond logical fallacies or cognitive biases to explain why he/ she subscribes to a particular system of belief. It prevents complacency.
What I like about rationality is that it allows the mastery of one's self--of one's emotions. It prevents clouded thinking and irreversible, damaging behavior when in the middle of a confrontation. I especially find it useful, as suggested by Julia Galef, to imagine that your personal opinion is a physical construct that you put in a box and place beside you while your "opponent" literally "attacks" that box with his/ her points of argument. It removes the notion that the attack is on you; "Argumentation as collaboration rather than combat." Whereby after the argument, you get to take home your opponent's weapons.
Apart from argumentation, the practice of rational thinking helped me to sleep better. I don't over-analyze other people's behavior and I've become less anxious about how other people treat me. That's the thing about all of us; we're all so occupied with ourselves. We think that everything that offends us is a deliberate provocation, whereas it's also purely possible that people aren't even thinking about us at all.
Rationality, a change in perspective. Hear, hear.

My boyfriend and I picked the Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort for a short 1 night stay. Price was great. Rooms very clean. Staff was very helpful and kind. We had a beautiful view of the Gulf and we were just walking min. away from the beach. Sand was white and powdery soft. The water was crystal clear and at a good temperature! The hotel was not far from restaurants/bars and shopping. A very quaint beautiful town. I cant wait to go back!

Getting the index to use it later
Good day,
Let's I have a parent and a child tables.
I load some data into the parent table, so a new record is generated with its primary key.
As the private key is auto increment, I do not know the value of this index.
Now, I need to load some data into the child table, where there is a foreing key linked to the parent table primary key.
How can I get the value of the parent table primary key, in order to use it to load fata into the child table?
Parent table: "Customers"
CustomerID <-PK
Child table: "Orders"
OrderID <-PK
CustomerID <-FK
Summarizing, I need to load data into both tables, my problem is because there is a "CustomerID" field I need to know from the parent table to be able to load the child table, and I do not know how to get it.
If there is another easier way to do it, much better!!
Thanks a lot!!!

Man, Bryan Cranston is popping up everywhere these days! First, he was seen directing an episode of NBC's The Office for its final season. And now, he'll appear on camera for another show entering its last year, 30 Rock. He will be accompanied by the spectacular Catherine O'Hara, who will play the mother of Kenneth the NBC page (Jack McBrayer), but it's Cranston's role that might be filling in the blanks on some legendary 30 Rock lore: he's playing Ron, the boyfriend of Kenneth's mother, who has never been seen on-screen before. (Neither has Kenneth's mother, for that matter.) I think the bigger question is why, after all that critical acclaim for his work on AMC's Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston is all about working for the struggling peacock network. (Probably because he's freaking Heisenberg and does what he wants.) (via AV Club)

Jesus Christ, Marie, it's 30 Mineral.
You, sir, have made my day.
A slam dunk with the comment, and then a grand slam with the name. Incredible.
But will he be appearing in his underwear?
Bryan rocks those tighty Whities.
If only 30 Rock were funny.
Catherine O'Hara is a goddess. From the beginning, the show has been dropping hints that Kenneth is a LOT older than he looks. It will be interesting to see how they explain his parents being alive.

Sean Hackbarth | March 3, 2011 | Comments
Why Chicago Mayor-Elect Rahm Emanuel needs a new official Twitter account, and other tips for office holders and staff.
Newly-elected Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his staff have a lot to do before he's sworn in. But there's one thing his staff should do sooner than later: create an official Twitter account, one that's different from the @RahmEmanuel account he used during his campaign. Who knows – now that the original @MayorEmanuel spoof account appears to have gone dark, perhaps the real Mayor can put it to official use?
Sure, Twitter is a useful tool when asking for votes, but it can be useful for elected officials when it comes to serving constituents and informing the public, too. Here are some Twitter tips I learned from my years working in online communications for U.S. Senators Lamar Alexander and Fred Thompson.
Get a New Official Account - Now
Yes, I know you have thousands of followers on the campaign account. Yes, I know dual accounts can divide your audience, but with confusing campaign finance laws it's a good practice to have separate accounts for campaign and official communications. Don't fight it, just do it and don't become the subject of negative story.
Another lesson you can take from Emanuel's campaign is to find a good Twitter name ASAP. Even if you don't know how you'll use the account you will at least prevent crafty opponents from snapping up your boss's name.
Separate the Official from the Personal and Political
Staffers already on Twitter should keep a clear distinction between official business tweets, political tweets, and personal tweets. Staffers can maintain their own personality, but they shouldn't tweet about fundraisers, campaign events, or helping other campaigns while on official office time or using office computers or mobile devices. Also, staff should assume any tweet could end up on the front page of The Huffington Post. A disclaimer saying "all opinions are my own" won't stop a reporter from writing a story. No one wants to lose a job because of an unwise tweet.
Don't Tweet as the Boss
Ideally your boss should tweet, but there will be some who simply won't do it. Don't create the illusion; there's enough cynicism in politics. You can still be interesting and get followers without the boss tweeting. If you plan to have a mix of boss and staff tweets, prevent confusion by labeling the tweets as being from staff. For example, Sen. Russ Feingold's campaign staff used "STAFF" as a label.
Use Analytics
Use a URL-shortening service like bit.ly to track click-throughs. That way you can see what content is most interesting to your boss's followers. This gives you an instant focus group.
Push videos on Twitter. Mention Twitter in videos, on Facebook, and in e-mails to constituents. Have staffers put the boss's Twitter handle in his or her e-mail signature. Your audience is across multiple channels, so you need a multi-channel approach to reach them.
Tweet Interesting Stuff
Good, valuable content will get attention. As an elected official your boss has access to content no one else does. Take advantage of that exclusivity and become a valuable news source:
Tweet-out the Issues
Your boss got elected because he cared about a set of issues. Get him to tweet about what he successfully ran on. Did he run on jobs and the economy? Get your boss to tweet a series of posts on what should be done to grow the economy.
Is your boss pushing a bill? Take followers on the journey of it (hopefully) becoming law by mentioning committee hearings, committee markups, floor votes and conference committees. Few people really know how a bill becomes a law. Tell that story. Your followers will appreciate the civics lesson, and it might also get your boss some earned media.
Break Out of the Bubble and Start a Conversation
A powerful benefit of Twitter is connecting with constituents and breaking out of the bubble of the beltway, state capital, or city hall.

Sweaters are usually associated with winter, cause that's when it's cold.
In the summer, one might have a light jacket or sweater for use on chilly nights, if you're going to be outside for a prolonged period. Or if expecting rain.

Brigham Young College
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (April 2010)
Brigham Young College was a college and high school in Logan, Utah. It was founded by Brigham Young on 6 August 1877, 23 days before he died. He deeded several acres of land to a board of trustees for the development of a college. This was just two years after he founded Brigham Young Academy in Provo, Utah in 1875. (Brigham Young Academy changed its name to Brigham Young University in 1903)
Founded after the order of Oberlin College the students work would support the college and their needs. The plan never was fully worked out. The classes met in Lindquist Hall and started classes on 9 September 1878. Classes also met for a time in the basement of the Cache Tabernacle.
The school was established to provide higher education to the youth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in northern Utah, southern Idaho, and western Wyoming. The BYC (as opposed to BYA, now BYU) had nearly 40,000 students in the period of its operation. Initially it was for preparing teachers (1877–1894). It then offered college courses and for 15 years granted bachelors' degrees (1894–1909). During the period of 1910-1926 the school operated as a high school and junior college. In 1926, the Church Board of Education of the Church Educational System decided to discontinue its schools except for Brigham Young University. When it closed, the buildings were sold to the city of Logan and were used as a high school, specifically Logan High School, the adjacent property. Later the historical buildings were demolished and newer ones were erected. The original BYC library collection was given to Utah Agricultural College, now Utah State University.

It's been a bit rocky in recent times, a few hills to climb. We're heading on the downside now, thank goodness. During all this we made it to the top of Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. Rocky going up and in some respects even rockier coming down, but at least you know you're on the homeward stretch!

Great photos and it conjures up peace and tranquility for me.
It was very busy at the top of the mountain Elizabeth. It was like Pitt Street there were so many people up there but you are right, it does create an image of peace and tranquility.
Ha ha. Your comment reminded me of a stopover in Dubai where my son and I thought it would be great to go on a guided 'safari' into the desert. We were picked up our 4WD guide and about an hour later went off road into the desert. And there as we reached the top of a sand-hill we looked across and saw over one hundred – literally – 4WD vehicles driving over the sand-dunes. So much for getting into the wilds!
(However, it WAS fun). :)
By the way, are you Australian? (You mentioned Pitt St, but that is in Sydney).
I love that. I can see the image in my mind. I was born in Wales, emigrated to Australia with family in 1970. I am an Australian Citizen so yes I am Australian. I purposely said Pitt Street because I knew you would understand what I meant. I've walked down Pitt Street many many times. :)
Amazing photos, its a different world up there. Lovely to see you back, I have missed you.
Thanks Tina. I don't spend much time blogging these days, just random posts. Hope all is well with you. :)

i had an idea for 3 new 5v5 maps
iam getting kind of bored of playing 1 map
and there really isnt any other maps that people can play
theres only the tutorial area wich is basically off limits
and the twisted treeline but not to many play that one
Dominion is fairly new and is cool but eh
While it seems like alot 3 new 5v5 maps would be kind of cool
to each have their own uniqueness and some other cool things maybe
First off is a Desert map
This area has many hills and some sand traps, with cactus and sand dunes for cover
the blue team starts off in the classic oasis like area with a bit of palm trees and a pond
while the purple team starts off in a pyramid
the mini boss in the region could be a giant sand lizard
while the main epic boss could be a sand worm bug,
jungler enemies could include scorpions, sand elementals, mud monsters,
and maybe a new champion to go with it that is like a camel... lol
*Zasacamel Man deals mainly with sand based attacks
one spell is he shoots forth 3 plumes of sand that do small aoe and damage 3 times
second is a dust devil that moves forward damaging enemies overtime for a bit
and the third spell is a sand shield that blocks incoming spells for a few seconds
his passive is that when his hp is critical he recuperates mp and hp for awhile
but his ultimate blasts a huge wave of sand out from him in a big aoe dealing damage to all enemies in the area as well as blinding them for a few seconds
(blinding being that their attacks and spells will miss)
Okay so for the second map i thought of a cool but weird lava/mountain area
Blue team starts outside but the map itself is slanted and descends inside a cave into a lava area
the purple team starts out in the lava itself on a cooled down place of land
epic boss could be a giant lava bound behemoth monster
while the mini boss could be a 4 armed lava minotaur with a scythe
mini enemies could be small fire spirits, fire lizard people, or even some sort of orcs and ogres dwelling in lava
for cover there would be small areas of mist or steam to hide your character
The third area was a classic but cool like one
this one is a snow capped mountain area but it resides within a small forest oasis on a lake of ice
the epic boss would break through this lake of ice when you fight it, being a giant hydra with 5 heads that breaths ice
the mini boss being a snow troll giant
the blue team starts in a evergreen forest and the blue team starts at the top of a snowy mountain hill
in the center is a lake of ice with snowy hills all around the area
monsters could be snow wolves, blue ice men with sickle blades, ice cold snow hogs, snowmen even
even had another idea for a champion
*Frank The Evil Snowman, lol, this one is funny
hes an evil looking snow man that has gone through torture and his snow is bloodstained
he uses the cold itself as a energy source, as he has 250 of it
overtime he regenerates it from dealing damage to enemies and every spell he uses creates cold source for him
His passive gives all his attacks a small chance to slow enemies slightly and creates cold source for him as he gains hp from his attacks 5% lifesteal
his first spell is that he shoots forth a tree branch claw from his hand that grabs an enemy and it deals damaging while holding them for a second
his second spell is he shoots out a bunch of icicles in a forward wave that do damage to all they hit, initial is 3 spikes but as it levels it becomes 7
his third spell is a frost breath that he breathes out, this does damage over time while draining his mp, this spell also drains the enemies mp
for his ultimate he freezes the area around him and the ground becomes as ice, pillars of snow shoot up around all champions
*Allies gain a snow armor that absorbs damage
*Enemies get frostbite for awhile, this lowers their armor and magic resist and movement speed for a short while
Junior Member
Instead of slowing them with his ult, I'd say blind them. u could call it "sandstorm"
lol yeah the two champions are a sort of hypothetical but interesting i think
would need a bit of revamping and such as most champions do
Nerd Slay3r
for new map please vote at must be log in to vote thank for your time
the 3 maps are basic, just 5v5 since its kind of old playing summoners rift every day
while i do love summoners rift its just that ive played it so much already...
ive tried dominion but iam not much a pvp player
i prefer to play against bots cause pve is more of my style
since i find pvp to competitive
iam not sure wether or not it might be cool for obectives to be in the 3 maps
such as capture the flag, control points, king of the hill maybe

you need to make that post INTERESTING.
I felt like i was reading 1 long-ass boring sentence.
But the map ideas, way too vague. 1st one u basically just said "stereotypical desert" with no specific detail on layout.
Come to think of it, all of them are vague and this post has 0% chance of really doing anything
i cant really do much in this without being able to post pictures of some sort
but to sketch out and draw the idealistic thoughts i think would make this cool
it might get more attention then maybe

WASHINGTON, D.C.--Investors have strayed from technology stocks in the past few years, but despite the limited capital good times are ahead, thanks to strong science. That's the message from a new global overview of biotech by the consulting company Ernst & Young. It was released here 24 June at the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) annual meeting.
Beyond Borders: The Global Biotechnology Report 2003 gives a snapshot of the industry in 2002. During that year, more than 300 products were in late-stage clinical testing, a 50% increase over 2001, according to Ernst & Young health sciences analyst Jürg Zürcher. Research and development expenditures rose 34% to $22 billion. Revenues for the estimated 4362 public and private companies worldwide were up 15% in 2002 to $41.3 billion. But Zürcher acknowledged that there were signs of trouble. Net losses climbed 116% to about $12 billion. And one-third of the 318 U.S. public biotech companies, and 20% of the 102 European public companies, had less than 1 year of cash on hand.
Illustrating the danger, the company that helped clone Dolly the sheep is fighting for survival. PPL Therapeutics of Midlothian, Scotland, announced on 18 June that one of its two main potential products had fallen through. In response, PPL says it will lay off up to 140 of its 165 employees and will scrap plans for a $70 million manufacturing plant.
The report predicts that the industry as a whole will be profitable by 2007 or 2010, but some CEOs say that overall profitability isn't key to sustaining the sector. Blockbuster products will help some companies grow and draw more capital, says Jeffrey Bird, a partner at Sutter Hill Ventures, adding that biotech will always be a high-risk, high-reward business. Industry CEOs agree with the Ernst & Young report that discovery does not seem to be a problem. "There's more good science out there than you can shake a stick at," says James Howard-Tripp, president and CEO of the Canadian company Labopharm.

Baked ham is an ideal main dish for beginning cooks and the best answer for the harried cook. It requires only that you put it into the oven and set the timer. It suffers no ill effects being reheated as a leftover and is also good cold.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, fat side up. Bake the ham unglazed until the thermometer reads 130°F, or until 1 hour before the ham is done. Prepare for glazing by scoring the outside fat in a diamond pattern, cutting ¼ inch deep with a sharp knife. Combine the brown sugar with the honey, syrup, or vinegar and the mustard. Mix well and spread over the outside of the ham. Stud with whole cloves set decoratively in the center of each diamond. Or if you like pineapple rings, set them in place with toothpicks, putting the cloves in the holes. Return to the oven for 1 hour to finish baking, brushing, if you wish, every 15 minutes with basting sauce. Let it rest and carve at the table.

Nutritional information is based on an 8 pound ham.

Oman central bank renews call for supporting SMEs
The Central Bank of Oman (CBO) has urged licensed banks operating in the Sultanate to show more interest in financing small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Hamood bin Sangour Al Zadjali, Executive President of the CBO, affirmed in a circular that was sent to licensed and operating banks in the Sultanate that in all countries, the SMEs play an important role in the economy.
They ensure growth by increasing the added value in the GDP, generating job opportunities and contributing to enhancing the optimum use of national resources.
He added that in light of the Royal directives of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, and in implementation of the decisions made at SMEs Symposium which was held at Saih Al Shamikhat in the wilayat of Bahla, the CBO directed licensed local and foreign banks in the Sultanate to increase the credit facilities for the SMEs.
They were required to dedicate five per cent of the total banking credit facilities to these institutions no later than the end of December 2014.
He pointed out at the circular that this rate is the minimum rate that should be met and that banks should exceed this limit so that they can effectively contribute to the development of SMEs by providing credit at low interest rates and less costs.

Most humans are tempted to lie when they make a mistake or are accused of doing so,
hiring managers say. The question is worded carefully so attentive listeners can
address the issue of temptation. Recruiters look for a candidate who admits being
tempted but states a commitment to the truth. Candidates who protest that they never
lie are probably insincere and didn't listen to the question.
InfoWorld: Tell me about a recent experience in which you brought together a team
to interpret functional specifications and translated that into a sound technical
Ideal response: "The first thing we did was convene a meeting of the development
team to make sure we understood the user's business requirements. We wanted to make
sure everyone saw the application in the context of the business, so that once we
started working on the individual modules everyone understood how it all fit
Inferior response: "I inspected the functional specifications and made the changes
that were necessary."
Managers hiring for teams want candidates that use "we" and "us" instead of "me"
and "I." If candidates do not emphasize collaboration in the interview, hiring managers
question whether they can lead a team.
InfoWorld: Here's a blank sheet of paper. If you had no constraints, how would you
reinvent our business from an IT perspective?
Ideal response: "From what I can tell about your business requirements, a major
challenge is integration of your Web-based front-end customer service applications with
your back-end legacy systems and databases [or other specifics]. So if I had no
constraints, I would start by ... ."
Inferior response: "What's hot right now is Linux-based applets enabling object-
oriented databases leveraging XML applets ... ."
Hiring managers want answers that show the candidate understands that business
drives IT.
InfoWorld: Describe an important technical project, the participants, your role,
and the outcome.
Hiring managers did not recite a single, specific ideal response. Rather they use
this question to probe the applicant's ability to spot problems, work with people,
manage his or her ego, use resources, be creative, plan, organize, and recruit support.
An effective response suggests a high level of enthusiasm.
Any answer focusing on something petty or the "solution" shows a lack of long-term
vision, hiring managers say.

TOPSFIELD — For a moment early in the second half, it looked like the Hamilton-Wenham boys lacrosse team was ready to stand up to its undefeated Cape Ann League foes.
Back-to-back goals had pulled the Generals within three goals with plenty of time to go. Perhaps they were to contend with Masconomet for the overall CAL title.
In a flash, Masco made sure that didn't happen.
The Chieftains responded with four straight goals to put the game out of reach, improving to 8-0 in the league with a 10-5 victory.
"One of the big things we continue to talk about is momentum and where that momentum is going to be," said Masconomet coach Tom Cobb, whose team moved to 10-4 overall and qualified for the postseason. "So, they kind of stole a little bit of that momentum right after halftime, but we just swung it right back — and that's one of the hardest things to do. If we can get things like that done more often, that will help us keep control of the game."
Hamilton-Wenham (8-3 overall, 6-1 in the CAL) just didn't have enough defensively to slow down Masconomet.
The Chieftains' goal total came in two spurts: a six-goal blast in the first half and the four-goal run that carried over from the third quarter into the fourth. That second run increased Masco's lead to 10-3 and put the Generals away.
"I think a lot of it was that I don't think we were really ready to play. Masco's a team that has a strong reputation, and I think some of our kids got a little intimidated by it. We're trying to get over that and try to make them realize that we're a pretty good team ourselves," Hamilton-Wenham coach Josh Wedge said.
