Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com has published the Top 10 Outfielder Prospect List. I'm sure you guessed that the Nationals have the number 1 outfielder prospect (Bryce Harper). The San Francisco Giants have one prospect that was able to make the list. The number 8 prospect on the top 10 list is the Giants future leadoff hitter Gary Brown. Below is what Mayo had to say about Brown. "Many felt Brown should have been promoted midseason in 2011, but there's nothing wrong with not rushing things. Brown finished in the California League's top five in several offensive categories, including stolen bases and batting average. His plus-plus speed makes him a perfect future leadoff hitter, especially as he gains a better understanding of what he needs to do atop a lineup. It also helps make Brown a plus defensive center fielders. Brown even has a little power to boot. He'll move up to Double-A to start the year, but don't be surprised to see him in San Francisco before the year is over." I had a chan...

Gallup's Annual Public Pulse Report 2014
Gallup Pakistan has released its Annual Public Pulse Report 2014 based public opinion. The survey has revealed that the present PML-N government's Performance Ratings are a huge improvement over the PPP-Zardari led government a year ago, as there is an improvement of 59% points in the Rating of overall performance of the present government. Nawaz government gets a Green Card (favourable views exceed unfavourable views) in overall running of the government, as 55% give a favourable rating.
Gallup Pakistan's study is based on findings from a nationally representative poll in the Rural and Urban areas of all four Provinces of Pakistan. Sample size was 2,596 adult men and women, face to face interviews, selected through probability sampling method; Error margin was kept at 3-5% at 95% confidence level. Field Work was carried out from 06 January to 13 January , 2014.
For the 6 Key Indicators including Economy, Pak-India Relations, Overall Foreign Policy, Terrorism control, Corruption control and Inflation control the present PML-N government received positive comparative net performance ratings. Economy recorded a positive 48% comparative net performance, Pak India Relations 22%, Foreign Policy 33%, Terrorism control 31%, Corruption control 36% and Inflation control recorded a positive 20% net change.
The Net Performance Ratings for Political Leaders rated Muhammad Nawaz Sharif (PML-N) at the top with a rating of favourable 18%. Imran Khan (PTI) was rated as minus 5% unfavourable, Asif Ali Zardari (PPP) at – 28%, Altaf Hussain (MQM) – 39%, Mulana Fazl-ur-Rehman (JUI) at -21% and Asfandyar Wali Khan (ANP) rated as – 34%. Ratings of Syed Munawar Hassan (JI) remained unchanged.
On issues of controlling inflation, terrorism and corruption, there is an improvement over the dismal ratings of the previous government in its last year, showing an improvement of 20% points on the subject of inflation; 31% points on control of terrorism and 36% points on control of corruption in government.
Gallup Pakistan survey shows that the government performance still gets a Red Card on controlling Inflation, Terrorism and Corruption in government. But the Red Card is not as dark as the one received by PPP led government a year ago. Despite Red Cards on specific issues, Nawaz government gets a Green Card (favourable views exceed unfavourable views) in overall running of the government, as 55% give a favourable and 40% give an unfavourable rating, giving a positive balance of 15% points. A year ago only 27% had given a favourable rating to the then PPP led government while 71% had given a negative rating, which gave it a negative balance of 44% points.
Another aspect covered by the Gallup Pakistan Survey is the performance of Chief Ministers of the Four Provinces. Performance of CM Punjab was rated as Very Good by 21% people surveyed while as 28% rated him Good.
6 % "Very Good" ratings were obtained by CM Sind, while as CM KPK and CM Baluchistan each got a mere 4 % rating as Very Good. CM Punjab topped the list by obtaining 26% overall net performance rating. But other Chief Ministers remained on the negative list with CM Sind obtaining – 9 %, CM KPK – 11% and CM Baluchistan obtaining – 14 % net performance ratings. However, an overall positive trend was observed in the performance of the Chief Ministers as compared to performance ratings taken in 2013 during the same period when PPP government was in power. CM Punjab improved his performance by 6 % as compared to 2013 and CM Sind improved by 18 %. The new CMs in KPK and Baluchistan improved performance ratings significantly from their predecessors as CM Baluchistan got 20% performance rating and CM KPK was rated 16 % better as compared to previous CMs for the same period.
Gallup Pakistan also surveyed opinion about State institutions. Net Performance ratings of Armed Forces improved upto 49%, Supreme Court improved 27% while as Parliament improved its rating to 8%. However, performance of other institutions including Police, Lower Courts and Political Parties got negative ratings, with Police at – 42%, Lower Courts at – 6% and Political Parties' performance rated at – 17%. Comparative net performance ratings for state institutions as compared to 2013, however, improved. Armed Forces recorded a net change of 4%, Police 8%, Lower Courts 2%, Parliament 30% and Political Parties 20%. It was only the Supreme Court that recorded a negative 14% net change.
Comparative Net Performance ratings, from January 2014 compared with January 2013, for Civil Society institutions were also recorded. NGOs recorded a positive 15%, Media 3%, Educational Institutions (Schools and Colleges) 3% and Religious Leaders recorded 7% positive net change as compared to 2013.

Gallup Pakistan is fraudulently using Gallup International's name. Shafi Gilani has lost the case in Pakistani court but he is still violating the copyright of Gallup's name. This fraud organization influenced Election results by projecting PMLN as the most popular party before election which was contrary to all other independent polls.
This is "Gilani Pole", not Gallup survey. I am amazed how media is still fooled by this Gilani guy.
This is an interesting matter. Imran appointed consultants from PTI for implementaion of development projects in KPK. These consultants were clueless about the job, majority from Punjab and their only qualification was PTI membership. Imran determined their fee @15% of the total cost of project which was to be paid to them in advance. The implementing departments were asked to start their work only on receipt of the relevent consultant. As a matter of fact they were all paid 15% i.e. around Rs1.5 billion. As mentioned above none of them was competent for the job and could not submit their reports as a result the entire development budget for Rs10 billion lapsed on 30/6/2014 and the remaining funds (10 bil minus 1.5 bil paid to consultants was returned to federal govt. The federal govt in appreciation of saving this amount paid Rs1.5bil to KPK. Please note the implememtation of projects is the sole duty of the provincial govt and the federal govt provides funds only. Now the PTI on one hand wasted Rs1.5bil on consultants (bribe to its members) their reports are still not in and on the other hand they deprived thr people of KPK of Rs8 bil. This the true story.
PTI ZINDABAD…………….Its perfomence in kpk is better than any other province of PAKISTAN…….PTI did following
1-Imran Khan ne KPK me security agency bnaai ha
2-mobile court,
3-pension ghar bethy milti ha,
4-MNAs k kaarobaar and Rest-housesme free Rehny py pabandi laga di ha
5-education islaamic kR di ha,
6-Cancer hospital bn raha ha
7-online fiR,
8-anti-corruption unit(Agr kahin corruption ho rhi ho to govt.,police yaPTI ko inform karny py aapko uska 25% mily Ga and corruption khatam ho jay gi) !!!
9-Eid gift :Eid ka tohfa new law kpk me act to change.. Agr gov ne apka koi kaam time p nhi kiya ap us p casekr skty hy jis sa gov apko fine bhi dy gi or nuqsaan bhi pora kry gi. !!!
10-Electricity k nay projects
11-Bus stands international-level k bnaany ka mansooba
12-Bachun ko school bhejny k liye 1 special aur boht barra mansooba
13-Shehrun ki Safaai(jesi London andEurope me ha) k liye project
Ye aisy kaam hain jo PML-N ne 5 saal me b na kiye!
And on 21 August rirgging k Barry meproofs AA jain gy! Altaf k kaam kar diya ha,jald hi arrest ho jay Ga.Pakistan me b us k khilaaf case kiya tha but hmaary cheap justice ne reject kr diya!!!
Note:Mujy sirf inky baary me hi pta ha,may be or b hun!!!
Aur kch log abi b kehte hen k KPK main Kuch Tabdeel nahi Ho raha.
18 crore may sirf Iqra hi ko PTI ki performance nazar aa rahi hey kowi our nahi jo positive or negative remarks day……. 0300-5605030
I do not agree with this survey report, there are a number of areas where this has been misleading, for instance the tax collection for different tenures is as follows: The best was during Zia's time 17% of GDP, Musharraf 13%, PPP previous govt 8% and Nawaz present govt it is 8-1/2%.

San Francisco, CA July 25,2011
Améredia, the San Francisco-based multicultural advertising agency, was selected in July into the San Francisco Business Times' list of largest advertising agencies. The list includes 25 agencies from around the San Francisco Bay Area, the nation's sixth largest DMA.
As the only agency on the list with focus on diverse multicultural markets covering Hispanics, Asian American, European American and other ethnic groups, Améredia joined the ranks of prominent agencies within the Top 10, which include: Goodby, Silverstein & Partners; AKQA; Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners; Draftfcb; Organic Inc.; Venables Bell and Partners; Razorfish; Eleven Inc.; Publicis & Hal Riney; and Duncan/Channon.
"We are larger not only in size but also in our vision," said Améredia Co-founder and Principal Pawan J. Mehra. "This recognition is very telling of our growth and the change in communication strategies that brands are implementing as a result of a new U.S. demographic landscape."
Améredia's growth comes from partnerships established within the private, public, and nonprofit sectors and a renowned team of global agency professionals. As American consumers increasingly become more diverse, intermixed and multicultural, Améredia builds its expertise and success in these expanding ethnic markets which together account for annual purchasing power in excess of $1.5 trillion. Clients and agencies alike continuously find partnerships with Améredia fulfilling of their multicultural marketing objectives.
Earlier this year, Améredia was selected as a Top Business in America by DiversityBusiness.com, winning five awards including "Top 100 Diversity Owned Businesses in California". Moreover, the agency received its second consecutive Fast 50 Company recognition by the US Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce and was also named a Top 10 Asian American Business in California.
The recent milestones highlight Améredia's consistent and robust growth since its inception in 2003, and add to the agency's running list of industry-wide recognitions such as the Excellence in Multicultural Marketing, American Design, Communicator, Hermes, Mark and TELLY awards, among others.

Billed as "functional and dysfunctional art", her works are sure to delight and inspire robot fans with a taste for the unusual.
Currently Liz has three active events going. Some of her pieces will be exhibited at the "Second Hand: Creative Reuse in Times of Less" event in Richmond (Sept 22 - Nov. 7). She is staging a solo show aptly titled "Robobits" at the Future Studio Gallery in Los Angeles (Oct. 11 - Nov. 1). And, as if she wasn't already busy enough, the "Lizland Open Studio" event in San Francisco will feature her works along with four other extremely creative artists collectively referred to as "Group5" (Oct. 25-26).

Richie Hecker, Chairman and CEO of Traction + Scale: So you have the best investment bankers in the world and they think they can get you a great valuation and take you public right now. On paper your company will be worth $5 billion and you'll be a billionaire. Yet, your last round valued your company at $300 million and you think your company is worth maybe $1 billion to an acquirer right now. Well, you may get your valuation today, but the markets eventually get smart — stocks that are overvalued eventually collapse unless they can clearly grow into their valuations. Be aware of your true value and the trade-off of a great valuation versus an accurate valuation. In the end, going public is an amazing experience, a great way to raise capital, get stock you can use to make acquisitions and establish yourself as a big player in your industry. It's a signal that you made it — relish it. Just understand the risks and realities before you ring the bell. … Read More »

The senators who dissed baby Jesus
What's the right word for what Sen. John Kyl (R-Ariz.) was doing when he attacked Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) for "disrespecting one of the two holiest holidays for Christians" by keeping Congress in session in the week before Christmas? What do you call it when Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) blasted Democrats as "sacrilegious" for wanting the Senate to take up an arms control treaty and a spending bill "right before… the most sacred holiday for Christians"?
Not "chutzpah." Chutzpah is Newt Gingrich and incoming House speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio.) hammering Democrats in 2010 for the effrontery of convening a lame-duck session of Congress, even though then lame-duck House speaker Gingrich called a lame-duck session the week before Christmas 1998 so that he and Boehner could vote to impeach President Bill Clinton.
Not "hypocrisy." Hypocrisy is Sens. John Thune (R-S.D.) and John Cornyn (R-Tex.) holding a press conference last week to denounce Democrats for bringing an earmark-riddled 2011 spending bill to the floor, even though they themselves had larded the appropriation with hundreds of millions of dollars of pork for their states.
"Extortion" isn't quite it either. Extortion is Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) threatening that if Don't Ask Don't Tell were to be repealed, it would doom ratification of the New START arms control treaty because "it poisons the well" for other votes.
"Demagoguery"? That better describes Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) falsely warning that the DREAM Act will provide "safe harbor for any alien, including criminals"; will be "funded on the backs of hard-working, law-abiding Americans"; and will "give college preference to illegals over citizens." (I can't decide whether Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) running away from the DREAM Act is demagoguery or opportunism. Maybe both.)
"Obstructionism" comes close to the motive of Kyl and DeMint for camouflaging their partisanship as a battle in the war on Christmas. But I'd reserve that word to describe the ruthless opposition of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to passage of the 9/11 First Responders bill, and to anything else that President Obama could conceivably call a win.
No, perhaps the best way to characterize the Kyl-DeMint talking point is "tipping point." It may be wishful thinking on my part, but I suspect that their crocodile Christian umbrage could turn out to be the symbol of a historic overreaching, the sequel to Newt Gingrich's cry-baby confession that he forced the notorious 1995 shutdown of the federal government because Bill Clinton made him sit at the back of Air Force One.
It feels to me like a critical mass is being reached. In the same seven days that the sanctimony of Kyl and DeMint was ridiculed even by Republicans Mike Huckabee and Joe Scarborough, the reliably somnolent Capitol Hill press corps instead treated the Thune-Cornyn denunciation of earmarks as the cynical Tea Party-pandering stunt that it was. In that same week, Media Matters published one leaked Fox News memo catching Fox's Washington editor, Bill Sammon, ordering his correspondents to call the public option "a government takeover of health care," and another one instructing them to undermine evidence of global warming as junk science – a story actually reported by media that had grown used to yawning at Fox's avid partisanship. And also in that week, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Web site PolitiFact named "a government takeover of health care" as 2010's "Lie of the Year," and University of Maryland researchers found that Fox News viewers were the most misinformed segment of the 2010 electorate—and both reports were covered, except on Fox, as facts.
Now maybe all these dots are outliers; perhaps they don't really add up to a tipping point. After all, this was the same week that CNN announced that it would produce the first 2012 Republican presidential primary debate in New Hampshire, and that it was "teaming up with the Tea Party Express for a first-of-its-kind presidential primary debate" in June 2011. In the wake of those press releases, I didn't notice anyone observing that the presidential primary debates of both political parties in 2007 and 2008 turned out to be pretty much colossal wastes of time for their audiences, who – though entertained by putative insights into candidates' "character"—learned approximately nothing useful about the impending financial crisis, the war in Afghanistan and the rest of the problems that the next president would have to face. It was also the same week that America learned that when he takes his dog on a South Lawn walk, President Obama himself scoops up Bo's poop—a reminder (as if we needed one: Look! A tweet from Sarah Palin!) that the trivialization of public discourse in the age of show biz shows no signs of abating.
Even so, I'm sensing a tectonic shift. Could it really be that politicians once invulnerable to being shamed are increasingly being held accountable for their bad behavior, and that some of the reliable ol' boogeymen just ain't what they used to be? Maybe. But don't ask Boehner, and don't tell McConnell.

Kattviks Kiosk: Waffles and seaview
The tiny village of Kattvik north of Båstad is mainly known for being where Richard Gere had a fling with a local some years ago with paparazzi in every bush. Today, the main attraction is the little kiosk and cafe above the harbour. Not the cheapest of cafes but then it comes with a view over the Laholm Bay and with great Swedish waffles with jam and cream.
Favorite Dish: Waffles with cloudberry jam.

Hemmeslövs Herrgård: Christmas Feast the swedish style!
Plenty of places offer the traditional Swedish Christmas Smörgåsbord but this is a bit special cus it's the only one where my family got together a few weeks before christmas itself.
If you want the big show you go to Hasses Lada further out on the peninsula but if you want to be able to sit down in a more quiet environment then this is a good alternative. There's accomodation possibilities as well if you enjoy all those "snaps" a bit too much!
The price this year is SEK 395 for the dinner itself, might sound steep to some but remember it's a buffet!!
Favorite Dish: Where should I start?? I'm a fish lover so I would say all the versions of salmon, some of the herrings.....

Comments about Stamina Avari Oval Jogger:
The only thing that would make this a better product would be steel springs - I should have checked before I bought, but the bounce is pretty good as it is. The box was missing the knobs to hold the stabilization bar, and Customer Service handled it promptly. The replacement knobs came within TWO DAYS. So glad I opted for the model with the stabilization bar - definitely helpful.

Hands on Review- TAG Heuer Aquagraph
One of the highlights of the TAG Heuer's range over the last 30 years has been the triumvirate of "hard-core' diving watches: The Heuer/ TAG Heuer 1000m (Spirotechnique), the Heuer/ TAG Heuer Super Professional and the watch that is the subject of this week's review: the TAG Heuer Aquagraph. Based on the TAG Heuer 2000, the Aquagraph is a true "tool watch" and one that already hold a special place with TAG Heuer collectors as a future classic.
Reviewing the watch for Calibre 11 is "MCV", as Marc is known on the web. He is a long-time watch lover and professional writer who has written this review of his watch. DC
- Brand/Model: TAG Heuer 2000 Aquagraph
- Reference: CN211A
- Movement: Swiss automatic w/ Swiss chronograph module
- Material: stainless steel case and bracelet; rubber dive strap included with accessory dive kit
- Complications: chronograph timing in one-second increments up to 12 hours; 24-hour indicator sub-dial
- Price: approx. $3500 USD (at time of sale; watch now discontinued)
The TAG Heuer 2000 Aquagraph was first introduced in 2003 as a heavy-duty piece as part of their long running 2000 series. About a year later, the 2000 series became the 'Aquaracer' series, so the '2000' moniker was dropped and the watch was simply known as the 'Aquagraph' from 2005 and on.
This was one serious chronograph, the first able to be operated as a chronograph while under water, thanks to the unique rubber sealed chronograph pushers. The Aquagraph made its last appearance in the 2008 time-frame, but examples of these watches can still be found brand new and also on the used market.
The Aquagraph, even in 2012, is still a very unique, functional and generally awesome tool watch and one that is truly designed and built for the task at hand, that is, deep diving. TAG Heuer made a point of having each Aquagraph individually tested to make certain it achieves its 500 meter rating, including testing the security of the screw in plates that seal the rubber covered chrono. pushers.
The Aquagraph came in only one flavor (yellow chrono. hands on a black dial) and this seems to have helped make it the iconic watch that it has become. This watch has many intriguing features and nothing that is frivolous or unnecessary. Let's begin with the basics. The fully brushed stainless steel case measures 43.2mm without the signed screw-down crown; 46.6mm crown inclusive. Lug width is 22mm, thickness is an expectedly chunky 15.9mm due to the chrono. module and the 500 meter depth rating. The case back screws down and features a very cool and heavily embossed deep-sea scuba diver helmet logo in the center.
The screw down crown is one of the unique features of this watch. The crown itself is nicely knurled with deep ridges between the knurls for a secure grip. When viewed from the underside (case back side), one sees a colored gasket (either yellow or red/orange in color, as TAG Heuer used both colors for the gasket) between the crown and case side.
If the crown is unscrewed, the colored gasket becomes visible from the dial side, warning the wearer that the watch is not water-resistant because the crown is unscrewed. TAG Heuer refers to this feature as a 'security indicator'. When the crown is properly screwed down, this gasket is only visible from the rear of the watch. A simple, elegant and nifty little addition to this watch and one that shows this piece means business.

Many payday loans are removed like once your payday drops, or possibly a week right into a month, to get a small-time. You're free to use your advance loan for anything you would like. Pay expenses, or have a great time. You'll discover no- questions. Since they're simply an issue of revenue at this time, physician costs, or auto restoration millions of people use paydayloans for disaster expenditures.
The client need to be a grownup resident of the location that may purchase in to a fixed monthly income, and also have to own a bank account. Furthermore, there's no confidence of commitment situation. Take control the capital program through the Web.
A high-interest rate is possessed by paydayloans. That's due to three parts. Payday lenders have a key risk credit money, without substantially examining their credit history. They also don't request nearly every assurance. The last purpose is how toconsolidate payday loans loans are short-term loans. Applying standard rates of awareness wouldn't be worthwhile for them. Additionally, as you should invest the mortgage by the check that is next, it will that tiny an encumbrance in your case. Thus, they offer being a purpose to pay for back the mortgage punctually.
You will end up supplying your own personal info when you fill out an application to get a pay day loan. Such things as tackle bankaccount number and your name. These are troubles you never require losing for the wrong hands precisely how identitytheft is going.
All that's essential to own to acquire a mortgage is always to possess a position with prior bankruptcy in addition to the credit score history not being truly a challenge. That is generally it! Have a very vocation and become of 18 along amount of-age which will be naturally since of regulations, which does not be able to get a person underneath age of 18 to enter any type of proper contract that will be apparent and intelligent in case you ask me.
What's needed resolved from your bank should be easily match from the client. The customer must have a bankaccount that is dynamic and must 18 or above decades, also needs to possess a citizenship of US. In the event the debtor comes under each one of these regulations, he's entitled to using the payday loan consolidation online.
Paydayloans keep large-charge of lenders, creating these loans sometimes burdensome and extremely expensive for many people that are not uncompensated. The principle advantage of how-to merge payday loans that is instant may be the undeniable fact that you will not be unable to locate a mortgage that has bank's relatively discounted. So these are cheaper loans.

The Annie Leibovitz shot campaign represents a change of direction for Marks & Spencer.
Myleene Klass, Twiggy and Louise Redknapp and dancing around as the latter's husband Jamie acted as DJ. We all remember the Marks & Spencer advert. We don't really want to, but we do.
A Host of Stars Including Tracey Emin [Back Left] and Kate Piper [Far Left] In Marks & Spencer's New Campaign
However, there appears to be a sea change at the British retailer - especially in the marketing department. This year's autumn womens-wear campaign will feature the likes of artist Tracey Emin, veteran actress Helen Mirren, Katie Piper - the victim of a heinous acid attack turned campaigner and television personality, female boxer Nicola Adams, author Monica Ali and US Vogue's Creative Director, Grace Coddington.
Unveiled this week, the campaign also sees the stars sharing the stage with 'real women,' such as Helen Allen, the 2011 Nurse of the Year, and Jasmine Whitbread, the CEO of Save The Children.
New stills from the shoot - by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz - see the ladies on a boat on the Thames, in a field in the countryside, and in an art studio.
Helen Mirren [Second from left] and Karen Elson [Standing] Also Star in Annie Leibovitz's New Marks & Spencer's Shots
The comparison to the ads with Louise Redknapp etc is startling and the inclusion of Tracey Emin confirms that Marks & Spencer are going after the cool, cultured women this autumn. This is not a glossy television ad broadcast during Coronation Street - it's a high end print campaign.
It can't be stressed enough how much M&S needs this to work. Clothing sales were down for their eighth consecutive quarter last month - this time by 1.6%. As The Guardian points out, the talent costs for the latest campaign must be astronomical, particularly for the always in-demand Leibovitz.
It's the latest change of tact from M&S, with Belinda Earl - formerly at Jaeger - hired as the new style director. She showed her first collection for Autograph in May, featuring better cashmere, tights for heels and a new 'buzz' item, the £85 Celine-esque pink coat.

Ice Age Earth Map by IttizWatch
©2010-2016 Ittiz
The map I made to base my other Ice Age Earth image on. I don't want to release the full res version of this map to the public right now, but here is a smaller 1024x512 version. This version only has 1/256th the detail of the original.
oh my gawd, my whole country, Chile was totally covered by snow, even in the now driest zones in Atacama Desert. So beautiful.
If I may ask, how did you make such realistic ice?
The ice is pretty simple to do in photoshop. I make a layer that's solid white. Clip the shape I want out of it, then overlay it with a mostly transparent edge detection of the black and white elevation map to texture the surface.
You should make Pangea
That's a good idea. I loved dinosaurs when I was a kid, I'm surprised I never thought of doing that. It'd be easy to choose which side of the world to focus the image on too since there would only be one continent. The question would be which era?
What are those islands out to the west of Britain? I see on the ocean floor there is raised areas there but this is the first map i've seen any land there.
With the lower sea levels more things pop up here and there. I don't know the name of the subsurface mountains there.
Wasn´t the Sahara a green paradise during the ice-age?
I think it was a savanna.
Hi. Excuse me... can you send me a complete version of the image please? I promise I won't re-release it Thanks.
Any particular spot you're looking for? I could crop it out for you. The full image is huge.
Wow! This is epic.. like all your pics. Added to favourites
awesome map ^_^....when will u release a full res....i wanna see all the details.....thanks for sharing
Thanks, if you want I can release it to you if you agree to not re-release it.
thanks for writing back ...that would be great if i could see it...and no i wont re-release it.....i just want to see a location on the map in a closer view... thank you very much
I found a way to use the Gimp and another program to create a fairly nice rotating version of the ice age earth map in shockwave flash. It's rather ragged, especially at the edges, but interesting to watch all the same.
Nice, I dabbled with making animated planets using svg. The results were less than stellar. I got one that I could rotate using the arrow keys and it had a nice cloudless atmosphere, but it was very grainy and small.
There's only one problem. I have to start with a square image and so that makes for huge polar ice caps. Not a problem for the ice age, but a problem for any other.
Maybe you should check out plugins from flaming pear. Not sure if it works in Gimp, but I use one to project the flat rectangles into a sphere shape.
That looks very realistic, i approve this texture!
I see now. But when your finished with the ice age earth, could you try to make a ice less earth? That would be interesting... Also, would you kindly check my channel (is it called channels?), and tell me how to improve my textures?
To see what a iceless Earth would look like I made a threshold map. For a 70 meter rise (the max theoretically possible) the difference is hard to notice. Just a few areas produce a noticeable effect from space. To see what I mean look at this map: [link] The red and yellow areas would be water. Doesn't make for a very interesting pic.
For my maps I make extensive use of layers and alpha masks, based on elevation maps. Some knowledge of meteorology helps. Contrasting the known meteorology of the different planets that have atmospheres helps you figure out where climate zones might appear on a planet.

Thank you for this, I can use it with a student or three. By the way, which ice age is this?

NewCath Wins In Thriller
It was everything you could have wanted in state final championship game as the Newport Central Catholic Thoroughbreds scored with 0:26 left in regulation to defeat a very sound Caldwell County team, 30-26.
Quarterback Josh Cain hit Tyler Lyon with the game-winning pass from yards out as the clock was nearing triple zeroes. It gave the Thoroughbreds their fifth state title and second in the last three years under head coach Eddie Eviston. The contest was filled with twists, turns and drama.
After building a 21-14 lead at halftime, NewCath (11-4) found a Tigers team that refused to go away and ready for anything after the break.
Caldwell County (13-2) would score nine unanswered points in the third quarter. Eviston would put the NCC defense in a precarious situation after going for it on fourth down inside his own 15 yards line only to fail.
-- Postgame: Mason Myers & Pete Collopy, NewCath
-- Postgame: Eddie Eviston, head coach, NewCath
The Tigers would manage a field goal to capture their first lead at 23-21 heading into the final stanza. After the game the Thoroughbreds head coach questioned himself for going for it, but would praise his team for rising to the occasion.
Caldwell County sophomore quarterback Elijah Sindelar was smack dab in the middle of all the activity. The 6-foot-4 gunslinger threw for 258 yards and two scores. Two second-half interceptions were about the only flaws on the afternoon for the rising star. Receiver Martez Sivils would reel in 10 of Sindelar's balls for 123 yards and a score.
Dylan Hayes gained 105 yards with two touchdowns for the victors. The second time he found the end zone he would set the NCC record for touchdowns (34) and total points in a season (204). His classmate, Cain took home game MVP honors after throwing for 243 yards, running for 32 more yards with two scores through the air. Mac Franzen also set a new school mark with 1, 143 yards receiving in a season. The junior ended up with six receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown.

People who live on Meadowbrook Road in Roanoke County are keeping an extra close on eye on the forecast.
Last July's flooding is still fresh on their minds.
They say they're trying to be ready this time around. We're told a few neighbors have moved out because of the last year's flooding.
Some have stayed and they are taking a pro-active approach just in case.
"I moved all of our stuff, pretty much, out of the basement, all my mechanic tools, home repair tools and moved all them out of the basement, took them over to my mom's house. Pretty much got all the kids stuff up out of the way in case something does happen," said Zane Reed.
Reed actually moved into the neighborhood after all the flooding last year, but that didn't stop him.
We're told some neighbors are still fighting with the city and insurance companies to get help.

Captian Jack Harkness by badgerlordstudiosWatch
©2013-2016 badgerlordstudios
Ok this was a drawing I have been wanting to do for a very long time and I have finally done it, and I might say i do like how it came out. Captian Jack is one of my favorite characters from the Doctor Who, and I only just started watching Torchwood. And I like everyone else was blown away with the connection he has with the Face of Boe, who I always thought was a cool character but even more so now. I hope people like it if so please leave a comment I always love reading comments, and check out the rest of my other work on my page.
Love it!
The fact that he was the Face of Boe nearly made me jump out of my seat and run around screaming "OMG!!!" Like one of those girly girls. XD
It looks absolutely great, I especially like how you made the Face of Boe in the background.
It looks absolutely great, I especially like how you made the Face of Boe in the background.
This series of Who-verse characters is fantastic, Captain Jack is my favorite!
Thanks I am hoping to do each doctor and some of the creatures but that is alot of prints for cons to get made up.
Once again, excellent! You deserve a lot more attention for these!
.... *Favorites*
Wow, this is brilliant, hun! I love the balance between the strong "Captain Jack" and the softer just Jack, who will flirt with anything with a pulse, that you managed to portray! I'm basically hypnotized by his eyes, and love that you added his vortex manipulator to his costume. Overall amazing job

"emporia virginia" Emporia by doug48
Emporia Travel Guide: 5 reviews and 15 photos
emporia is a small town located near I-95 in southern virginia. emporia is named after emporia kansas. the town of hicksford was established in 1710 and the town of belfield was established in 1789 and these two towns merged to form emporia in 1887. the most important event in the history of emporia was the "apple jack" raid in 1864. for those interested in civil war history and antebellum architecture emporia is an interesting side trip off of I-95 in southern virginia.
on december 7 th 1864 the forces of union general gouverneur k. warren marched from petersburg to modern day emporia to destroy the confederate railroad supply line running through emporia. after a day long battle the forces of confederate general wade hampton repulsed the union raiders and forced them to retreat back to petersburg. during their retreat through susses county union troops "committed depredations on the local population and paid the ultimate price for their indiscretions". union soldiers were under the influence of apple brandy which was locally called "apple jack".

Are you or someone you know having trouble paying a mortgage? You're not alone. Millions of Americans are still grappling with the fallout from the recent recession. And for many, that means falling behind on mortgage payments.
If you're starting to get behind on your mortgage or have already received a notice of default (NOD) –you need to take action. You can:
- Hustle — Come up with the cash to bring your mortgage current.
- Get a Loan Modification — Ask your lender to change the terms of your loan.
- Walk Away — Let your bank foreclose on the home.
- Attempt a Short Sale — Sell your home for less than you owe.
What Is a Short Sale?
A short sale occurs when proceeds from the sale of a home are less than what the seller owes on the property. Before pursuing a short sale, sellers (often with the help of a real estate agent) must negotiate with their lender(s) and get the lender(s) to agree to the sale of the property at fair market value even if that amount is less than what the homeowner owes.
Short sales prevent foreclosure, but are obviously pretty ugly themselves. They'll still hurt your credit, and with a short sale, you run the risk of getting a tax bill for the difference between what you owe and what your house is sold for, depending on your state's law. You should discuss this with your real estate professional or accountant.
With that in mind, why would anyone actually want to short sell their property? Often, a short sale is the lesser of several evils.
Considering the Alternatives
Before making the decision to short sell your property, it's important to consider all of your options. If you are behind in your payments and expect future payments to be a struggle, you could let your home go into foreclosure by discontinuing all payments (walk away). Foreclosures can stay on your credit report up to ten years. Although a short sale will still impact your credit for many years, future prospective lenders and employers may look more favorably on a short sale than a foreclosure because you chose to help ameliorate the situation rather than just walk away.
Another option is a loan modification. Loan modifications may allow you to stay in your home, but may end up being an expensive and/or temporary fix. Loan mods may alter the loan type (for example, from an adjustable to fixed rate or vice versa) or extend the term of the loan (for example, from 30 to 40 years). Depending on the mod, you may get a lower monthly payment but end up paying more interest in the long-run or your lender may forgive your arrears but not lower your monthly payment, in which case you may be at risk to just fall behind again.
As an aside about loan modifications, NEVER pay a third-party to negotiate a loan modification for you. Some of these services are scams, especially if they require an up-front fee or ask that you make your mortgage payment to them instead of your lender. If you want to pursue a loan modification, either contact your lender directly or find a HUD Certified Housing Counselor in your area. These counselors are certified to provide free or low-cost advice on modifications and foreclosure avoidance.
Preparing for a Short Sale
To be considered for a short sale, you'll need to submit a letter of hardship to your lender, explaining the challenges which have caused your financial difficulty. Truthfully explain loss of employment, family death, divorce, or medical expenses. Lenders will ask about your income and assets, such as stocks, bonds, savings accounts, money market accounts, or other real estate. Finally, many lenders will only consider approval if you are a month or more behind on your payments.
Financial institutions often require that there is a buyer in line ready to purchase the property. This is where the real estate professional can help. If the reason you can't fully pay off the lender through the sale of your home is due to a drop in real estate values in your market, ask your real estate agent to prepare a comparative market analysis to give the lender data about recent sales of similar homes.
The process of selling your home short of what is owed to the bank can take up to nine months or more, depending on how quickly your real estate professional can find a seller and how well the bank communicates. You'll begin by providing the necessary documents to the real estate professional such as W2s, pay stubs, mortgage information, bank statements, and the hardship letter. Then the agent will contact the lender and list the home for sale on the Multiple Listing Services (MLS). It is then your responsibility to keep your real estate agent informed of any changes in your financial status, and keep the house tidy, ready to be shown to potential buyers.
If you're behind on your mortgage and considering a short, talk to a HUD housing counselor or a real estate attorney. She will help you analyze your financial future so you can find the solution which does the least damage. She can also refer you to a real estate agent who can put your house on the market to start the short sale process. As a final reminder, there are numerous scams dealing with loan medications and short sales out there, so be alert. You should never have to pay an up-front fee for a loan modification or to make a mortgage payment to anyone other than the mortgage company.

Good value because room was highly discounted
Room was in a courtyard setting which was nice.
Bathroom was not very clean especially the sink. Unable to see in the mirror when blow drying hair. Room was good value as it was heavily discounted. I wouldn't pay the full price for the room. Most of the staff that I encountered found it difficult to smile. Friday night residents bar was closed at about 10.30pm. The bar was opened for us when we asked but it was rapidly closed after we had had one drink. Charged extra for our dog which I was not told about up front from the hotel. It was just added onto the bill.

Last minute booking
We decided on a whim to book a hotel for the evening before seeing family the next day, we were on a budget of under £50.
Spotting the offer of £36 for a double room in beautiful hotel we couldn't really pass it up. Lovely setting, very spacious room and very impressed with bath/shower. The view from the window wasn't really the scenic landscape we'd hoped for and we could hear all the other guests as they passed the room but it wasn't loud enough to ruin the stay and definitely didn't put us off. The room felt very homely and we felt settled straight away. We'd very happily stay again as we feel we've discovered something special.

@panic any way I can rewire Coda's [redacted] implementation of backspace in the terminal? This ^H^H^H^H^H^H^+restart is making me sweary.
I just got Snow Leopard* and it's blown away some obscure tricks I'd left for myself. This is a note to future me, should I need to fix Coda's annoying preference of ^H instead of backspace in their terminal window.
As nice as Coda's UI can be, I'd ditch it, if I could just get TextMate to play nicely with remote projects.
*yes, finally; upgrading from Adobe CS2 had to be in the budget first…
I hate untidy code, and always work with invisibles showing. Regardless, sometimes spacecruft slips through. Here's two ways to fix that:
I've gone with the first option: I think it's nicer to keep yourself in the habit of watching your code, rather than relying on the software. Also, as the author notes, it blows away any bookmarking and code folds. If you're working with large files and hit save at least every five minutes like I do, well… that sucks as much as Coda's lack of code folding does.
If you've ever had to deal with any development for Facebook, you'll remember that they strip out browser hacks from your CSS–fun for you, when the client OMG needs something to work in IE6. They also strip out the more forward-y browser-specific styles, while using them liberally themselves.
Their CSS, which was putting an unfortunate border on our buttons:
.uiButtonSuppressed:focus { -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); }
Here's how to get around that:
.uiButton:after {
content: "OMGFACEBOOKIHATEYOU";
display: block;
color: #fff;
margin-top: 44px; /* height of your button */
border-top: 1px solid #fff; }

"When writers write, they discover what they actually think. When developers develop, they discover what the customer actually needed. Both conclusions happen near the end of the process, and invariably require going back and starting all over again. Nobody knows what the program should do until it doesn't do it."
resize <object> to source's content height: http://bit.ly/23jS3T (link is about iframe, but works either way)
@casey_mk "abandoning web standards" implies MS/Office ever followed them…
RT @amyhoy now "The Kings of Code," that's a sexist conference. you may all unleash the bees in your bonnet. *stands back*
You can cue the video to where you want it by appending to the URL, like so
This is excellent, especially if one's only interested in one bit, for instance, when we're getting antsy to push something live. It doesn't seem to work for their Flash embed:

It could be argued that since this application is built with Perl/Catalyst/Template Toolkit, the answer would never be more than zero… but I still appreciate the Easter Egg!
A Chinese court has jailed two officials after they let a blind contractor build a bridge which collapsed during construction and injured 12 people, the official Xinhua news agency said Monday…. "After the blind contractor changed the blueprint, he carried out the work only using a roughly drawn draft of the plan, which caused the bridge to collapse," the report said. Xinhua did not explain how the contractor was able to run the project considering his inability to see.
Bryan found this neat little php file that you dump into the images directory of a web site and it gives you an index page with a table of thumbnails, complete with file type, size, and date added. Totally handy!
Nifty! Not only is IE7's File/Edit/View/Etc. menu in a really stupid place below the toolbar*, the Edit menu doesn't work. If you select a URL from the address bar and then try to copy it from the Edit menu, it loses focus on the address and you can't copy it. Paste is similarly fucked up. The right-click contextual menu works, so why not this? Click to watch:
You'll notice that I took this movie on my Mac through Remote Desktop. I tried the copy/paste maneuvering directly on the Windows (XP) box, with the same results. I also tried it in Internet Explorers 5-6 and it worked just fine.
Geeks Are Sexy posted a registry hack to move the File/Edit/View/Etc. menu back to the top. I did this and it worked, in terms of moving the menu bar back to where it belongs, but it didn't fix the copy/paste issue. Swell!
*"Reload" and "stop" are in the extra-stupid place of after the address bar, and no, they can't be rearranged.
One of the Big Things on my to-do list this spring is to learn Javascript like a badass. There's a lot of references out there on the web, and a lot of books… but there's a lot of really shitty references and a lot of shitty books, and I don't even really know enough to know the difference yet. My HTML and CSS is tight and poetic (and constantly improving), and I want to make sure that my Javascript is just as awesome. On my shelf waiting for me I've got Javascript, the Definitive Guide, and Christian Heilmann's Beginning Javascript with DOM Scripting and AJAX.
I'm looking forward to digging into those, and this
DOMAss – The DOM Assistant library looks useful as well.

We've been so busy that I haven't followed the Internet Explorer 7 betas; from what I was seeing, there were enough changes between each even after they said that all of the layout/rendering development was frozen that it wasn't worth chasing. Now that it's out, and being pushed to a good share of Windows users, I spent the morning setting up our testing boat anchor laptop (WinXP/SP2) with IE7, the ability to handle multiple versions of Internet Explorer, and older versions of said devil.
While I first thought that running a virtual machine would be the only solution, it's pretty crazy to have to do that (and pay for a whole other XP license and whatever extra RAM you need) just to test your web sites in crappy old browsers. I have to say HOOOORAY to Yousif Al Saif for putting together Multiple_IE: a bundle of standalone versions of IE that don't interfere with each other. Installation was fast and it works great.
When the mere presence of the bell is not enough.
Looking through all of these, I had a nasty flashback to usability testing. It's easy to imagine the four-hour, five+ people meeting that would ensue–mostly entirely a discussion of why the labels should read "push button" instead of "ring bell," since really, there is no bell present and the user is not directly ringing anything. At the two-hour mark, the group would seem to be in agreement that the labels should read "push button to ring bell" because "push button" would be too ambiguous to the user as to the results of such pushing, and would therefore cause the user discomfort, possibly resulting in the user never pushing the button because they were afraid of what might happen. After four hours, everyone would be in agreement–until, inevitably, someone points out that the bell is neither now nor ever visible to the user, so that "push button to ring bell" would be equally distressing to the user because they would never know exactly what bell they were ringing if they pushed the button. At that point, the web designer rips the bubbler off of the wall, heaves it through the window, and runs. [Scene.]
People who have heard me on my soapbox may think that I think that Macs and Firefox are perfect. I never said that! (Even though they're totally better.) I've just spent the afternoon chasing down tab order wierdness in Firefox on the Mac, and dang! that was annoying.
