The Watchmen In Riga, Part 4: "A Militant Army Marching Against Evil"
Jim Burroway
December 10th, 2007
(This series on the Watchmen On the Walls conference in Riga, Latvia held Nov. 14-18 is based on the videos posted on the New Generation web site. Translations from Russian were generously provided by Ruslan Porshnev of the Russian LGBT web site Anti-Dogma.)
So far, our coverage of the Watchmen On the Walls' conference in Riga, Latvia has focus on their depictions of the so-called dangers that homosexuality poses to civilization. They claimed that Christian society is besieged by the "homosexual movement," by those who follow "the father of lies" who hold closely guarded secrets that they keep from the rest of the world, and whose actions have the moral equivalence of throwing innocent children into the furnaces of Nazi Germany.
But the Watchmen didn't gather in Riga to just moan and groan about a world overrun with evil. They also wanted to impart a plan for combating this supposed scourge. We touched on one part of that plan — American holocaust revisionist Scott Lively's call to his Russian-Latvian audience to come to Springfield, Massachusetts as missionaries.
But their greater plan was to prepare the way for the New Generation church movement to become more directly involved in political activism from the very top. I believe that the statements at the conference, combined with statements made by Watchmen leaders, illustrate a desire to create, at the very least, a theonomic-based system of governance not only in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa, but in the West as well — including right here in America. And as always, I don't ask that anyone take my word for it. Instead, I'll simply offer you a generous sampling of their own words so you can judge your yourself.
Some of the positions advocated by Watchmen founders and spokespersons — including those of American Watchmen — run distinctly counter to the values of America's founders. For example, American holocaust revisionist and Watchman founder Scott Lively wrote an open letter "to the Russian people" a month before the Riga conference, in which he offered this recommendation:
…[C]riminalize the public advocacy of homosexuality. My philosophy is to leave homosexuals alone if they keep their lifestyle private, and not to force them into therapy if they don't want it. However, homosexuality is destructive to individuals and to society and it should never publicly promoted. The easiest way to discourage "gay pride" parades and other homosexual advocacy is to make such activity illegal in the interest of public health and morality.
Of course, Russia does not have the First Amendment freedoms of speech, assembly, and redress of grievances that we enjoy in the U.S., and recent events show that Russia doesn't really need much encouragement along these lines. And so it's very disturbing to see an America lawyer advocating totalitarian solutions for other countries, and one wonders what sort of country his movement would like to see here in the U.S. if they were to have their way here.
So how do the Watchmen see the role of church and state — or more specifically, their church and state?
On Thursday evening (November 15), evangelist David Sobrepeña, Senior Pastor of the Word of Hope Church in Manila, Philippines, gave a talk on "the promises of God." This talk was in many respects a continuation of the theme of "spiritual weapons" that Ledyaev opened the conference with the night before. As Sobrepeña spoke on Matthew 16:18 ("On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."), he described a militaristic vision of God's promise that he said that passage represents:
I began to picture a militant army marching against the forces of evil. A great and vast army, very powerful, marching against the forces of hell. Do you know that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is greater in number and more powerful than the combined air force and military force of the United States, of Russia, of China, and all the other countries in the world?
The armies of the world are no match for the powers of Satan. But tonight, let me tell you brothers and sisters, that Satan trembles at the sight of God's army we call the church. Over one billion committed Christians in the world today. God promised power to the church.
He then spoke about the need for Christians to become active in government because that is where the real exercise of power takes place. As an example, he described his efforts to get a born again Christian appointed to the Philippines Supreme Court. This, he believed, was evidence that God ordained the church to wield political power:
The homosexual agenda, all the other agendas of this world by liberal politicians, don't be afraid of them because the church will emerge victorious. The church will emerge victorious. Even though many times it seems like the power of darkness is covering our society and many people are backsliding. In the end, the church will emerge as victorious because Jesus promised a victorious church, a church without spot or wrinkle.
As the conference continued, a picture emerged which shows that their message is often an uncomfortably close fit to the Dominionist or Christian Reconstructionist movements in the U.S., and it directly follows the political stance of Alexey Ledyaev's New Generation church movement. And while the Watchmen do not have an official statement on the role the church should play in a democratic society, it appears that many speakers at the Watchmen conference shared Ledyaev's political views.
In 2002, Ledyaev wrote a political manifesto he called The New World Order. (A rough English translation was posted online by the New Generation church in Springfield, Massachusetts, Scott Lively's new home.) In The New World Order Ledyaev says that the church needs to be the spark for a great revival.
But unlike most Christian denominations, he doesn't place much value in promoting an evangelical revival among ordinary people — those "from the bottom," as he puts it. Instead, Ledyaev, says that it's far more important for this revival to take place among political and social leaders, "from the top." He believes that if political leaders undergo a revival, then all of society will begin to change from the top down. The advantage of focusing on revival at the top, says Ledyaev, is that the kind of reform he seeks is not as likely "to be bogged down in a couple of years." He writes:
When the government bows its knees before the name of Jesus Christ then the country will be Christian. It cannot be otherwise, because the God of the kings will sooner or later become the God of their nations. This is how life is.
And Ledyaev cites the United States as an example:
After a short break and a fierce election struggle God has once again restored Christian Government in USA. The born again president of the country, his administration that mostly consists of Christians on the key positions of authority – it is a great victory.
Advent to power of the Christian government does not mean that the whole country will at once automatically become puritan. It means that the country will have all preconditions for it, because in such circumstances church receives an unprecedented freedom to influence and to act.
George Bush Jr. is more of a preacher, than a politician. However, it is exactly this quality that determines his political insight, pragmatism and invulnerability.
The Watchmen's hopes for creating a "Christian government" for Latvia was on full display at the Watchmen conference. Just before David Sobrepeña took the stage, Ledyaev introduced three members of the Latvian government, all of whom are members of the Latvia First Party which is closely associated with New Generation. The first, Ainars Å lesers is one of the Latvia First Party's founders and currently serves as Minister of Transport. He is also a member of New Generation and reportedly one of the wealthiest people in Latvia. He talked about the success he had in having Christianity taught in the public schools, and the importance of political engagement in the state.
Å lesers was then followed by Janis Smits, who is a Latvia First member of parliament and, paradoxically, the chairman of that country's Human Rights Committee. He also spoke out for the need for direct engagement against the gay rights movement in Latvia:
We're living in a real world with real spiritual enemy. There is a spiritual war going on. Not only those people who gathered on the Square have their rights. We also have our rights: to raise our voice, to protect our government elected by us, our parliament, our deputies and our faith. Let's not stand aside of this. Let's actively participate in it.
…We can do it because we are the majority, we are united in our faith and our beliefs.
Another Latvia First member of parliament, Inta Feldmane, addressed the crowd that night:
We're living in a global world where borders are vanishing. Through these borders not only people are moving, not only finances, services, but also philosophies, religions, false teachings and there's a new enemy now: secularism and humanism, which places into its center not God and the Ten Commandments, but a human being, his wishes and will. I'd also like to say – sinful lusts.
Now it's a struggle for that will and these wishes should become laws by which all people must live, including religious people. I thank God for Latvia being a chosen land, for these churches existing.
And she spoke about the constitutional separation of church and state:
They say that the Constitution separates Church and State and that's why the Church is unable to speak and publicly protect its interests. It's all a lie. The constitution only says that there should be no state church and that government can not interfere with church business and church can not interfere with governmental business.
But we do have a right for dialog. We have a right to express our opinion – publicly, in media and on such conferences. And we should know this. We will not allow our mouths to be silenced. We will not allow ourselves to be placed in a certain framework, stuck inside the walls of the church.
The theological underpinnings for all of this were cemented on Friday afternoon when Joseph Mattera, senior pastor of Resurrection Church in New York City, spoke to the conference. Basing his talk on John 1:1 ("In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"), he said:
That means the Word of God is the starting point for all living and nonliving things. The Word of God is the starting point for mathematics, the starting point for biology, the starting point for grammar, for language, for science, for education and philosophy, for social structures.
The reason why the church is fighting the battle it is today is because a few hundred years ago, we forgot what I just said. We have given up the arts and the sciences. We've given up education and we've given up the study of nature to those who are secular humanists.
And so the church needs to be on the leading edge of all of these disciplines of life, because if all we're doing is morality, then we will be trying to catch up for the next hundred years.
But the talks weren't all political theory or theology. Larry Jacobs, of the World Congress of Families, was on hand on Thursday afternoon (Nov 15) to lay out a concrete strategy for confronting gay activists. It was a rather sketchy strategy, but it illustrates what the World Congress of Families sought to do in Warsaw last May. That strategy includes:
- Shifting the anti-gay movement "from defensive to offensive."
- Changing the language, questions and parameters of debate (for example, say "natural families" a term which he says "drive(s) homosexuals crazy because if you're not part of the natural family then you're unnatural.")
- Finding ways to be seen as progressives, touting a better way of life for the economy and society.
- Building new alliances among different Christian groups, whether they are Orthodox, Catholic or Pentecostal.
- Using scientific data which "supports Biblical Truth" (Jacobs exclaimed, "The exciting thing about this is if we use this data it sounds like Scripture but the world listens to the scientists.")
- Reaching the next generation (For example, through children's books and cartoons like The Veggie Tales).
- Using the World Congress of Families, Watchmen On the Walls and others for networking, direction, encouragement and to celebrate the family.
To illustrate some of these efforts, Jacobs announced that they received a proposal from the Russian government to bring the World Congress of Families to Moscow in 2009. Several others mentioned planning for various conferences in various countries of the former Soviet Union as well as a Watchmen conference in Africa for 2008. While details of this African conference weren't disclosed, there is a strong likelihood that it might be planned for Lagos, Nigeria, home of the Revival Assembly whose pastor, Anselm Madubuko, spoke at the Watchmen's conference in Novosibirsk and who closed the conference in Riga.
And Scott Lively announced that his holocaust revisionist book, The Pink Swastika, will be released in a Russian translation in 2008, which will only serve to fuel the flames of hatred of gays and lesbians further in Russia and among Russian-speaking communities in Eastern Europe and the U.S.
Until the past few months, the Watchmen have largely flown under the radar. A quick round of private message to national gay-rights groups here in America has found that few people here know anything about them. The language barrier seems to have something to do with it, along with the fact that the Watchmen movement is a relatively recent phenomenon. But it appears to be an aggressive and growing movement, with the potential for serious repercussions internationally as well as here at home.
When Scott Lively spoke Thursday morning, he warned his audience that "We have to understand that we are being watched by people all over the world. There are probably even homosexual spies in this room." And he said that those "spies" would like nothing better than to catch them saying something ugly or hateful. And then, of course, the Watchmen put videos of their conference on the internet for all the world to see. No "spying" is needed to see what this organization is all about. Their own images and words can now speak for themselves. All we have to do is watch them. And we will.

Log in
End of Watch is a movie shot in documentary style of two police officers in the south central Los Angeles area. It gives you a good insight and feel for Brian Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Mike Zavela (Michael Pena) as partners. A lot of the movie is the two of them in the locker room, in the squad room or in the car, talking about everything with each other. It really shows you the bond the two of them have. The movie also has many moments of gripping action. Mike says that they see more action in one shift than some officers will see in their entire lifetime. Some police can go their entire career without drawing their gun but not in southern Los Angeles.
Brian is making a film so he is always filming with his camera and he and Mike are wearing button cameras. This gives us the feeling of being part of the action. There is a Latino gang that ironically is also filming and we see them inside their van gearing up for action. They are talking about hitting Tre and his fellow Bloods gang. We see them getting their guns together and a we see them drive by the Bloods and start firing their AK47s and hand guns, hundreds of bullets are fired and then off they drive. Our officers find the burnt out husk of the van dumped. Brian would like to be a detective but as he is a uniformed officer the homicide detectives shoo him away and tell him to stay on the other side of the crime tape. Next we watch the officers respond to a missing children call, only to find a man and a woman obviously high and not in their right mind. The woman is saying her children are missing, the man is saying they are at their grandmas. Brian searches the house and finds the children duct taped in the closet. This is to give us a feel of what their watch is like. Later they pull over a truck and the driver tries to shoot Michael with an ornate looking pistol. They search the truck and find oodles of cash and what looks like a gold plated AK47. Our next adventure is when Brian and Michael are at a house fire and they risk their lives to rescue a bunch of small children. This section of the movie was very powerful and definitely had you on the edge of the seat of your chair, you could almost feel the fire and have a hard time breathing due to the smoke. They are awarded medals and accolades from their fellow officers. Brian, who wants to be a detective, decides to dig deeper into the driver with the ornate gun. He convinces his partner to back him up and they go to the house where the truck came from and they find a room full of human trafficking people. Suddenly there are many ICE agents descending and they tell Brian and Michael to lay low as there may be reprisals.
Now we go back to the personal side of life and Michael's wife has a baby. Then back to driving around in the squad car talking about the baby when a call comes in to help two officers. When they arrive they find one of the officers with a knife sticking out of his eyeball in his head, and his partner is getting beat on. They get the huge hulk of a man off the female officer but her whole head is caved in and is a misshapen bloody mess. This gives you a feel for the harshness of the streets. There are more personal moments and of course a reprisal happens with a hit put out on Brian and Michael.
This movie has a lot of action, and gives you insight into the life of a police officer. This was modeled after two real live police officers. I think that gave me the most scare. This is not just a movie, this stuff really happens. This movie is not for the faint of heart and there is a lot of use of the foul language to give you the realness of the gangs.

Overkiller's 100 Albums of 2007
Okay, since I've been promising this thread for so long and my work on it is still not finished, I've decided to do it as an ongoing thing. I'm gonna post my ranking of the 100 albums I heard from 2007 in segments as I continue to finish it up. At the time I'm posting this I have nearly 80 albums mini-reviewed. Also I figure if I post the list bit by bit instead of bombarding you with 100 albums all at once, you'll all be more likely to actually read what I wrote. :D
Just as a disclaimer, as you'll probably notice, I was lazier with some albums than others, and this is reflected in the length and quality of each mini-review. Those reviews that I actually put effort into have been an exercise in criticism for me--as has this whole project, really. Also, the reviews for the releases at the bottom of my list are not of the highest quality, so don't write me off yet if you don't like them. ;) Here goes...
Edit: Oh, one other thing. Keep in mind that no albums "didn't make it" onto my list, so #100 is the worst thing I heard this year, etc.
The 10 Worst
[B]100. Megadeth - [I]United Abominations[/I][/B]
Jesus fucking christ, it has a song called Amerikhastan. Worst album of 2007. Congrats Dave.
[B]99. Dååth - [I]The Hinderers[/I][/B]
I first gave this album a chance because it was being bashed by so many tr00-heads and praised by others as experimental death metal or something. Wasnt worth a second thought. This is absolute mallcore crap that wants to be Dimmu Borgir and ends up sounding like DevilDriver with electronics. Avoid at all costs.
[B]98. Manowar - [I]Gods of War[/I][/B]
Absolutely the biggest disappointment of 2007 for me. After hearing the EP/single/whatever [i]The Sons of Odin[/i] (the Immortal Edition, haha), which sees Manowar at their most Wagnerianbombastic, epic, dark evennear the end of 2006, I was extremely excited for the forthcoming full-length [i]Gods of War[/i]. Finally, the new album leaked and I got my hands on it sometime in February or so. The extent to which it failed to keep the promise made by [i]The Sons of Odin[/i] practically broke my heart, and it set in motion a falling-out with Manowar that persists to today. As you may have heard already, nearly HALF of this album consists of spoken-word or orchestral interludes. Now, in theory I suppose it [i]could[/i] work, if done by the right band with the right talent. However, Joey DeMaio shows us at every turn on this shitpile that Manowar are not that band and they do not possess that talent. The spoken-word parts sound like Joey reading fucking poorly-written Wikipedia articles on various Norse deities into a microphone, and theyre [i]so goddamn long[/i]. The orchestral interludes have a few moments of listenability, but fuck, Manowar has simply lost sight of the difference between epic and retarded. Even the metal on here is substandard (see Loki God of Fire and Die For Metal [who the fuck rips off the Kashmir riff!?], and the ballad Blood Brothers, which is just a poor imitation of the wonderfully cheesy Courage from [i]Louder Than Hell[/i]), and the great tracks that appeared on [i]The Sons of Odin[/i] are slightly modified, which was completely unnecessary. Did we need those extra silly choir vocals? No! Adams sounded great all by himself on the EP! Fuck! This album sucks! Manowar is dead!
[B]97. W.A.S.P. - [I]Dominator[/I][/B]
Another big disappointment. I hadnt set my expectations too high for this one, considering the overall blandness of the [i]Neon God[/i] albums, but still, a single positive review and an irrational love for W.A.S.P. allowed me to keep some hope. The result was painful. Once again Blackie Lawless has nothing new to offer, except it seems that now in the 2000s, every time he repeats his formulas, the resulting music just gets worse and worse. I barely got through this entire album, and I have no desire to ever hear it again.
[B]96. 3 Inches of Blood - [I]Fire Up the Blades[/I][/B]
My hatred for this album borders on irrational. I downloaded it, listened to it once and immediately deleted it in utter disgust. Every fucking second of this album is torturously average or just plain [i]bad[/i]. The vocals are some of the worst shit I have ever heardthe mock Halford/King Diamond voices are NOT funny, and they DONT sound good. There is nothing old-school about this album. 3 Inches of Blood are the musical equivalent of Dethklok Metalocalypsea joke that throws together all the clichés of metal into a plastic package of uninteresting tripe so that the mainstream can eat it up as the latest fad and pretend like they understand its roots. I dont care if Im the only person here who doesnt cream their pants over this album; this is absolutely worthless, throwaway garbage. Makes me ashamed to call myself a metal fan.
[B]95. Dimmu Borgir - [I]In Sorte Diaboli[/I][/B]
By now we all know what to expect from Dimmu Borgir, and this doesnt let down our expectations. Seemingly endless awful symphonic metal chock full of stupid ideas and riffs that go nowhere. It was hard enough for me to sit through this entire turd, I really dont want to spend much time going on about it here.
[B]94. Kamelot - [I]Ghost Opera[/I][/B]
Sometimes I like Kamelot. [i]Ghost Opera[/i] is not one of those times. The whole thing was exceedingly boring and gave me no reason to re-listen--there was nothing on this album that I wouldnt be able find on other, better Kamelot releases.
[B]93. Redemption - [I]The Origins of Ruin[/I][/B]
Surprise surprise, I hated another one of the albums that everybody's jerking off to for reasons beyond me. What the hell is so special about this? All I hear is fairly typical to mediocre power/prog metal, needlessly down-tuned to pretend its heavy, with flat, wimpy, unemotional vocals. Some of this even sounds like a pale, unengaging version of (pre-2007) Symphony X to me. Maybe if they had a vocalist that wasn't so fucking deadpan and annoying this would be better, but even the music is just not that interesting. Also, most of the lyrics are painfully bad. I wanted to like this album. I really did. But I could barely make it through the entire hour of playing time.
[B]92. King Diamond - [I]Give Me Your Soul... Please[/I][/B]
Wow, what a disappointment. When the god-awful album title was announced way back when, I was afraid it was an indication of things to come, but considering the Kings general cheesiness and peculiar grasp on the English language, I didnt let it lower my expectations. Unfortunately, that only led to a bigger letdown. Everything about this album is sub-par for Kingthe plot is just stupid (even by KD standards!), the storytelling is ineffective and nonsensical, and the music is just bland, bland, bland. The only time theres really any semblance of quality is when Andy is simply ripping off Painkiller riffs. Boo.
[B]91. Nine Inch Nails - [I]Year Zero[/I][/B]
Basically terrible, and a good sign Trent should hang it up or focus on other projects. There are a precious few moments on here that actually got my head bobbing (Survivalism aint bad), but the recycled ideas and god-awful vocals (what happened?) are just more than I can stomach.
[QUOTE=overkiller;177726][B]100. Megadeth - [I]United Abominations[/I][/B][/QUOTE]
Pretty bad, but c'mon this is not the worst of 2007.
[QUOTE=overkiller;177726][B]99. Dååth - [I]The Hinderers[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=overkiller;177726][B]97. W.A.S.P. - [I]Dominator[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
Didn't really sway me either way, definitely didn't think it was as bad as you made it out to be though.
[QUOTE=overkiller;177726][B]96. 3 Inches of Blood - [I]Fire Up the Blades[/I][/B][/QUOTE]
Loser :tongue:
[QUOTE=overkiller;177726][B]95. Dimmu Borgir - [I]In Sorte Diaboli[/I][/B][/QUOTE]
Now this is the worst album I heard all year.
[QUOTE=overkiller;177726][B]93. Redemption - [I]The Origins of Ruin[/I][/B][/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=overkiller;177726][B]92. King Diamond - [I]Give Me Your Soul... Please[/I][/B]
[IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b265/overkiller187/kingdiamond.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
Initially liked it, but hasn't had any staying power for me. Probably won't ever listen to it again.
[QUOTE=overkiller;177726][B]91. Nine Inch Nails - [I]Year Zero[/I][/B][/QUOTE]
Quite a few big names for the bottom of the list.
But I've got no problem if the good albums ARE at the top
I'm totally looking forward to the rest of the list, plus this way I get to comment on a lot of shit I heard but someone else gets to do the work of writing the review :D
I can't believe I didnt buy a single fucking new album this year. I'll have to check the rest of this list for recommendations.
There's no way Megadeth was worse than Iced Earth. :tongue: Heck, I'd say it was better than the Redemption album, which I basically agree with you about, although I haven't even been able to bring myself to listen to all the way through. I liked Gimme Your Soul... and Year Zero though. I don't really understand your problem with em. Also you basically nailed my feelings about Ghost Opera, which in my opinion was a MUCH bigger disappointment than United Abominations. I look forward to the rest of this list. I don't think I'll agree, but your opinions are pretty interesting. ;)
This is the shit I'm talking about. :fist:
Despite two of my top ten being in your bottom ten, I dig this so far and can't wait for the rest. You're right about Megadeth and King Diamond though. :zzz:
[B]92. King Diamond - [I]Give Me Your Soul... Please[/I][/B]
The only time theres really any semblance of quality is when Andy is simply ripping off Painkiller riffs. Boo.
Which is ironic considering the "Metal Meltdown" riff was on Abagail; 4 years before Painkiller came out.
Haha, Megadeth at 100. Priceless.
Kamelot and Redemption WAY higher for me, though.

The regions have been selected to participate in this tournament on the basis of their impressive performance in the recent National Secondary School Games (UMISSETA).
Former Manchester United striker Quinton Fortune launched the ARS second season in Dar es Salaam early this month.
What makes this year's ARS tournament unique and interesting is the inclusion of six girls' teams during the national festival.
"Airtel has decided to include girls so as to give them opportunity to develop their football talents and provide the national women team, Twiga Stars, with a reliable source of replenishing players," said Airtel marketing director Cheikh Sarr.
While the boys' players need to excel at the regional level in order to be selected for the national finals, a girls' team from each of the listed regions automatically sails through, which beefs up the number of teams in the finals to be 12, six from either category.
"We are proud to nature young talents and that the exciting time we have been waiting is finally here. This is the time to produce Tanzania stars," Sarr said.
The regional matches are scheduled to kick off on May 25 with Dar es Salaam featuring nine teams drawn from Kinondoni, Ilala and Temeke.
The teams are Twiga Secondary, Goba and Makongo High School (Kinondoni), Mbande Secondary, Kurasini and Kiravi Secondary (Temeke) while Ilala will be represented by Airwing, Benjamin Mkapa and Msongola secondary schools.
Other teams are Southern Highland Secondary, Mbeya Day High School and Wenda Secondary (Mbeya), Lindi Secondary, Mpunyule Secondary and Ngowe Secondary (Lindi).
Arusha will be represented by Sinoni Secondary, Kaloleni and Bishop Durning Secondary School.
ARS football program is an initiative designed for the entire African continent aimed to provide a platform for upcoming soccer talent to showcase their skills to leading scouts, coaches and have an opportunity to further their football skills.
It is a joint partnership between Airtel and English Premiership Club Manchester United.
Last year, Manchester United utilised its school coaching staff to conduct international football clinics in Tanzania, South Africa and Gabon where selected participants learned techniques of playing football the United way.
A similar clinic will be held in Nairobi latter in August for English speaking countries, including Tanzania.
Nairobi will also play host to the ARS inter-continental tournament that will bring together ARS champion teams from 14 countries where Airtel operates.

I really love this idea and execution so far; how exactly did you do that bottom map - Wilbur? I would love to know how you achieved that look.
Hello Guildies,
After having finally decided to finish a map I start (something I am yet to do) I figured this would be a good place to keep a journal/record of my progress. Wasn't really sure which section to place this in as it will be a combination region/city map (or maybe two maps). There is no time limit on this though I do plan on finishing it. That's the main point of starting it.
Anyway, I wanted to move away from the regular world maps I mess with and decided to focus on a smaller region with a rather unique terrain (in terms of scale). After some brain storming I came up with the idea of a giant canyon or valley set within a very large high altitude stony desert (2500m). Flowing down the centre of the valley would be a large river with an average width of 2km. Flowing from the tributary canyons and valleys would be smaller rivers and streams. Finally, a large empire/kingdom would stretch down the valley. I have yet to decide if the states/provinces will be able to span from valley wall to valley wall (across the river) or if they will be limited to one side of the river (by imperial/royal decree).
Here's what I've done so far;
Colours aren't final and there is still a lot to do. Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.
I really love this idea and execution so far; how exactly did you do that bottom map - Wilbur? I would love to know how you achieved that look.
The first two images are made solely in Wilbur. The third is a composition of various layers in GIMP but all of the height info is also generated in Wilbur. Basically, I did 50 passes of 'precipiton erosion' to image two before resizing it. Included is a lot of manual editing to ensure that river flow looks 'pleasing'.
I really must think about getting Wilbur...
Okay, I've now finished the topology and river placement. I'm still trying to find a style for forests that will work well and I'm not happy with the colours but they will do for the time being. The current border is just a bit of silliness that I added as a means of limiting the vast open spaces of the desert plateau. I re-exported the data at 5000x5000 px so as I'd have a bit more freedom to work. I'm currently toying with the idea of rotating the map about 45 deg cw and having a 'landscape' layout.
I'd really appreciate suggestions for a forest style if that would be possible.
Would a civilization located on the banks of a river that is 2.5 km wide have ferries (with permanent landings) or would it just have shipping lanes? Is there really much of a difference and would they have to be shown either way?
Ferry routes are often indicated as they function as a road of sorts. Without bridges or sufficient bridges for the flow of traffic it would be certain to have ferries. It would also have shipping without a doubt. Shipping channels are not likely to be indicated in anything but a nautical map, and even then all they indicate is the safe part of the river in terms of bottom clearance. There would also be dredgers, water taxis, fishermen, people living on boats etc. Think Hong Kong. I say this because it seems to me that the river would be the center of their life and civilization given he otherwise remote appearance of your location. They would directly rely on it and also on cities farther down the river.
@ Falconius
That's pretty much what I was thinking. The majority of the civilization will be reliant on The River (as apt a name as any). Those living further from the banks less so, though it would still remain the major form of long distance transport.
I understand your point about ferry routes being shown as they are integral to transport and considering that I am showing roads I should probably include said ferry routes. My main concern is that as things are now The River has a width of 4-5 pixels (2-2.5 km). This doesn't really leave much room for the depiction of ferry routes. I seem to have the option to either increase the resolution of my map (already 5200x2800) or leave out river traffic routes and only include them in zoomed maps for particular areas (capitals and what-not).
Ah I assumed you were dealing on a different scale mistakenly. For some reason I though you'd have it down to city scale. I think river routes can be assumed on a region map of this size, or alternatively you can list the routes in a table on the the side.

The smell of burning sage filled the commons area of South High School on Monday morning, March 11, as what was planned as a student walk-out was turned into a school-sanctioned assembly — and then ended up being a walkout anyway. Students from the All Nations Program, which offers American Indian-specific programming at the school, were protesting the lack of visibility of the program, as well as a lack of cultural activities. They said activities such as drumming and "smudging," a cleansing act using burning sage, were once regular parts of the program but have been discontinued. Senior Winona Vizenor organized the walkout, but called it off after speaking with Principal Cecilia Saddler, who allowed the students to have a round dance in the main commons area as well as an assembly in the auditorium. Toward the end of the assembly, after getting text messages from people saying they weren't being let out of their classes, Vizenor went forward with the walkout anyway. Continue Reading →

E25 SOLE Elliptical
Easy to use electronic console with a vibrant blue back lit LCD display. Includes a built-in cooling fan and water bottle holder. The console also has built in speakers which allow you to hook up any MP3 player(iPod, etc.) for easy listening.
Fluid natural motion provided by a whisper quiet drive system. Functions in both forward and reverse motion. The combination of a heavy 25 lb. flywheel and a high gear ratio not found on comparable models means an extremely smooth feel with plenty of resistance at the top end for a machine that will provide a challenging workout. The E25 also has a power incline feature which offers additional resistance as well as variable positions for diversity in your workout. You simply press a button to raise the incline ramp to your desired position. The ramp angle is fully adjustable from a level plane, up to 20 different incline levels, allowing you to individually target and work all major lower body muscle groups.
Upper body exercise provides a total body workout.
Stationary handle bars with built-in pulse sensors for monitoring your heart rate. A heart rate chest strap is also an optional ad on for highly accurate wireless monitoring.
Oversize foot pedals for a comfortable workout. These unique foot pedals were designed in collaboration with a leading physical therapist and sports enthusiast. Sole engineers have designed in a 2 degree inward slope to the foot pedals which reduce ankle and knee stress that is common in other elliptical machines. The footbeds also articulate for optimal user comfort and performance.
The two real wheels which ride on heavy duty rails provide a smoother more stable feel and reduce side to side foot pedal motion, a feature found only on more expensive models.

The SOLE E25 elliptical combines both a great exercise as well as a natural human movement. For the E25 we took the best features of our residential models and added a few additional upgrades of our own.
- Custom Designed Foot Pedals - These unique foot pedals were developed in collaboration with a leading physical therapist. Together with SOLE engineers we designed a 2 degree inward slope to the foot pedals which reduce ankle and knee stress common in other Light Commercial elliptical machines.
- Articulating Foot Pedals - Not everyone walks the same; for this reason we have made the pedals articulating to fit the way you walk. This feature also reduces the numb toe effects and sore Achilles tendons helping users to focus less on being uncomfortable and more focused on achieving goals.
- Power Incline - This feature separates SOLE from the rest of the market. It creates a completely different workout that targets areas of the lower body that normally would not be worked out on an elliptical without Power Incline.
- Strong Frame - The SOLE E25 uses heavy 34 mm steel that's designed to support user weight capacity of up to 350 lbs.

We will be doing some coach trips next year miners,thatto,pats & bridge. Only 3 local games and rest are Yorkshire or cumbria
Posted 11 November 2012 - 12:21 AM
As an Egremont lad I'm hoping its us that will win it... Looking at the fixtures its gonna be a hard run in. Hunslet (away), York (away), Mayfield (home) and St Judes (home). All of them will make it very difficult.
As for Warriors, I think they will be pipped to the post by BDH on points difference if there is a race between them for 3rd if that scenario happens
Gonna be doing my prayer dances to the gods of rugby league this week hoping for Millom to beat York, Eccles to beat BDH and some type of man flu epidemic in Hunslet to make things easier for the Mont lol
My Prediction: 1 Egremont, 2 Lock Lane, 3 York
well i think i might of correctly predicted the top 5 there... or atleast the top 3 if only the bookies took took our bets lol

A fund has been set up to help the families who lost their loved ones in a deadly house fire.
Four people were killed after a fire broke out on the east side of Pueblo early Tuesday morning. A 2-year-old and a 3-month-old were among those who lost their lives.
Investigators believe an oxygen tank caught fire when someone was smoking inside the home.
The families of the victims, which include the children's mother April Hon, 26, and a man living with the young family, Harvey Montoya, have set up a fund to help pay for funeral arrangements.
You can donate to any Wells Fargo Bank under the name "Pueblo East Side Fire Victim's Fund."

Alpha Quadrant
this wiki
The Alpha Quadrant is the common designation for one-quarter of the Milky Way Galaxy. Its boundary in the region around the Federation is defined by a meridian passing through the galactic core and at least near the Sol system.
|The quadrants of the Milky Way
| The Alpha Quadrant is located in the upper left.
(click to navigate)
The Orion Arm, Perseus Arm, and Sagittarius Arms of the galaxy are located in that quadrant. (Star Trek: Voyager background graphic)
Interstellar politics in the Alpha Quadrant in the 24th century were generally dominated by the United Federation of Planets, along with other regional powers including the Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, Cardassian Union, the Tzenkethi, the Talarian Republic, and the Ferengi Alliance, all of which interacted on generally peaceful terms. Members of the Tholian Assembly, Breen Confederacy, and the Xindi remained mostly isolated from the rest of the Alpha Quadrant populations. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
While only about 25% of the quadrant had been sufficiently explored, it was known to contain examples of shocking interstellar beauty and scientific wonder such as the Argolis Cluster, the Arachnid Nebula, and the Badlands. (ENT: "Fusion"; TNG: "I Borg"; DS9: "The Maquis, Part I")
The Bajoran wormhole connected the Bajoran sector in the Alpha Quadrant to a point near the Idran system on the far side of the Gamma Quadrant near Dominion space. The use of this wormhole for exploration and trade by parties from the Alpha Quadrant incited hostility from the Dominion, culminating in the Dominion War. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

Background information
In the script for DS9: "Playing God", the Cardassian vole was described as being "the Alpha Quadrant's nominee for ugliest creature in the galaxy".
In most reference works, apocryphal novels and games, Klingon and Romulan space and parts of the Federation are usually depicted or stated to be located in the Beta Quadrant. This is however inconsistent with dialogue from Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, in which all three powers are consistently described as being located in the Alpha Quadrant. The only planet explicitly stated not to be in the Alpha Quadrant was Khitomer in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. The planet has been established as a Klingon colony in the 2340s in "Sins of the Father" and a planet inside Romulan territory in the 2360s in "Birthright, Part II".
The Star Trek Encyclopedia states that the Federation was spread across the Alpha and Beta Quadrants in order to explain why the USS Enterprise was often the "only ship in the quadrant", though the term quadrant has been often used to refer to smaller segments of the galaxy as well.

Iris's Dragonite is the fourth Pokémon that she obtained.
Dragonite first appeared in BW091, where it was fighting with a Hydreigon in Undella Town. It was injured in the battle against a Hydreigon and caused a blackout when it crashed into a power station. Officer Jenny thought is was on purpose and began pursuing it along with several trainers. Iris didn't believe that no Dragonite would caused the blackout because she's a Dragon Master and she used her ability to read Dragonite's heart, discovering the truth that Dragonite was defending a Pidove flock from a wild Hydreigon and the blackout was indeed an accident. After protecting it and clearing it of all accusations of calling Dragonite a rogue, it allowed Iris to capture it.
Iris used it in the Pokémon World Tournament in BW092 against Georgia's Beartic. It started to disobey Iris during its battle with Georgia's Beartic, but it was made obvious that it is a skilled battler, easily taking all off Beartic's attacks despite the type disadvantages and defeated it with a single ThunderPunch.
Dragonite was used again in BW093 againset Dawn's Mamoswine. Again it had another type disadvantage simply dodging Hidden Power but is still disobeying Iris again enduring Ice Shard and when Mamoswine used Take Down, Dragonite grabbed its tusks and tossed the Twin Tusked Pokémon to the ground. Just as Dragonite's arms are about to freeze from Ice Fang, it flew up. It learned Dragon Rush and knocked out Mamoswine pushing Iris into the semi-finals.
Dragonite was used in BW094 against Ash's Krokorok. Dragonite, like in its previous battles quickly took lead, but Krokorok evolved into Krookodile. Using its newly learned Dragon Claw, and it makes Dragonite go beserk with no lack of confidence. Krookodile defeated Dragonite while beserk, knocking Iris out of the tournament.
Dragonite was sent into battle in BW099 to stop Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus while in their Therian Formes along with Cynthia's Garchomp, Ash's Pikachu, Ash's Unfezant Ridley's Golurk and Cilan's Pansage but they're not that kind of Pokémon that Dragonite can beat as Landorus used Stone Edge to take it down. Just as Thundurus was about to use Shock Wave to finish him, Iris tried to protect him but Ash's Pikachu protected Iris in her stead to absorb all of its power from Thundurus. Now, Dragonite obeyed Iris from now on whenever he gets into trouble like this, Iris will come and protect him as it gets back in the fight to stop Team Rocket from taking Unova.
Dragonite was sent out to be intruduced to Ash's Charizard, but developed a firery rivalry towards Charizard. They had a battle but it was called off by N, because Dragonite has injured its arm during the battle.

- Dragonite is the first fully evolved pseudo-legendary Pokémon to be owned by a main character. Although it was a Pokémon from the Kanto region at first.
- Dragonite is the first Pokémon not native to Unova but (to Kanto) to be owned by a main character in the Best Wishes series, excluding Pikachu.
- Dragonite is the second Dragon-type Pokémon to be captured by Iris, the first being Axew.
- Dragonite is the second fully evolved stage 2 Pokémon to be caught by a main character, the first was Dawn's Togekiss (although it was a gift from Princess Salvia).
- Dragonite is the only Pokémon that Iris owns that does not begin with a vowel.
- Dragonite is the second member of Iris' team to disobey her commands, the first being Excadrill. However, unlike Excadrill, who thought that Iris didn't care about it, Dragonite does not have any obvious motive for disobeying Iris except possibly its own arrogance for fighting alone with no one else.
- Dragonite's eyes strangely resemble the Dragonite's eyes in Great Bowls of Fire when it went on a rampage.
- Like Iris' Emolga, Dragonite retains its original Japanese voice in the English-language anime, too.

Simmer Lab Research Statement
My research interests focus on normal and pathological tooth development. My research training was in biochemistry and I have worked, mostly with Dr. Yamakoshi, to isolate and characterize enamel and dentin proteins from developing pig teeth. I expressed the first recombinant amelogenin protein (rM179) and developed a purification method back in 1991. This protein, and the pig version (rP172), is still used by many labs to study amelogenin in vitro along with native amelogenins that we still isolate from developing pig teeth. I am probably best known for using protein sequence data from a serine protease isolated from developing pig teeth to publish the first cDNA and genomic sequences of what is now known as KLK4. We also fabricated and characterized Klk4 null mice. I am the recognized world expert on this protease and wrote invited chapters on this enzyme in the most recent 2 versions of the Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes and have twice been an invited to speak on KLK4 at the International Symposium on Kallikreins and Kallikrein-Related Peptidases. Besides the biochemistry of tooth development, I have always been excited about genetics and am course director and principle lecturer for DENT 539 on Tooth Development, Regeneration and Genetics. Oligodontia runs in my family. I work with Dr. Hu to characterize the disease-causing mutations in the families with inherited tooth defects that Dr. Hu recruits. We have identified over 40 disease-causing mutations and were the first to report that FAM83H and ITGB6 mutations cause enamel defects, and that FAM20A mutations cause Enamel Renal Syndrome. Over time I have come to appreciate the great benefits of studying normal tooth development in animals and the genetics of pathological tooth development in humans. I believe that the first step toward improved treatments and cures for inherited conditions is to identify the genes/mutations that cause the disease. Knowing that a gene/protein is critical for normal tooth development in lab animals strongly influences our ability to conclude that an observed mutation in a family with inherited tooth defects is the cause of their disease. There are very few labs, worldwide that combine expertise in tooth development with the genetics of human tooth defects. I feel we are in a unique position to make advances in these areas and encourage you to provide the support necessary to continue our work, which has averaged 10 peer-reviewed/year for the last decade and will continue to do so with continue support from the NIDCR/NIH.

Polymorph is a core mage ability learned at level 14. It transforms the enemy into a critter, removing it from combat. It is the mage's primary crowd control spell, allowing the mage's party to focus their efforts elsewhere while the polymorphed target wanders harmlessly for a period of time. Any damage will break the effect, including DoTs. The spell only works on beasts, humanoids (including enemy player characters) and critters.
Polymorph will affect mobs up to 50 seconds, but players will break out of the transformation after no more than 10 seconds. Polymorph is dispellable as a magic debuff. Certain trinkets also specifically dispel Polymorph effects, such as [Insignia of the Alliance]/[Insignia of the Horde].
The base spell transforms the target into a sheep. Mages can learn other variations on the polymorph spell, either through tomes (at level 60) or via glyphs. They are functionally the same, with the only difference being the visual transformation.
A polymorphed target is often referred to as a "sheeped" target. Furthermore, "sheep" is often used as a verb; to sheep a target is to polymorph it. Even when using any of the Polymorph variations, the word sheep is still often used.

While sheeped, the target cannot do anything, but heals at a rapid pace. Mana does not regenerate. Any damage caused to the target causes it to revert to its normal state. The target will also wander across the area randomly in this state.
A mage can only have one target polymorphed at a time, regardless of the particular spell used. If cast on a second target, the first Polymorph breaks. For instance, casting Polymorph: Pig while having a different mob under the effects of Polymorph: Sheep will break the spell.

The careful use of Polymorph can be tremendously effective in combat against elites. Typically, a mage will use Polymorph at the beginning of combat, allowing the group to focus on the remaining targets. Because Polymorph heals the target, it is much more effective to use it early in a fight rather than later when the target may have already suffered damage. It is advised that the mage until the tank has started the fight, otherwise the mage will have initial aggro of all remaining enemies, which can lead to a quick death, especially vs powerful raid elites if the tank does not draw aggro from these mobs fast enough.
Polymorph can be reapplied, refreshing the duration, at any time in combat, so it is helpful to always re-sheep before the effect expires. It is more difficult to re-sheep a mob that is running loose (and likely beating on you) than one that is already under control.
In group situations, the party leader can use a target marker to designate which target to polymorph. This allows the mage to keep track of where the sheep is during the fight, and can easily tell if the polymorph effect is broken. The most common marker for sheep is the Moon. It is also possible for higher-level groups with more than one mage to further coordinate by assigning a specific polymorph style to a specific mage.
Wandering sheep can aggro nearby mobs when it breaks near them. Using [Frostbolt] (requires frost specialization) to pull and slow the movement speed of the target to a more favorable location before sheeping will help minimize the chances of this happening. It is also helpful to use [Frost Nova] to freeze an enemy in place, then Polymorph it.
By using a simple macro you can stop casting a spell before it is finished and re-sheep as needed. This allows the mage to be much more responsive if a target breaks early.
/cast Polymorph
Use the Focus target to keep track of your sheep while killing other targets. In the default Blizzard UI, the focus target shows as a separate frame as of recent patches. The focus target can be set and regained with macros as well, which helps when it is necessary to resheep a target.
This macro combined with the Focus target will make your polymorph hotkey more responsive by allowing you to stop casting your current spell and sheep your focus target without switching your current target.
/cast [target=focus] Polymorph
A more complex focus macro will focus and polymorph your target until it dies, with additional clicks re-sheeping the target. When your polymorphed focus is dead, select a new target and click again to focus and polymorph it. Hold shift and click to change polymorph targets mid fight. (via spicytuna)
#showtooltip Polymorph /clearfocus [modifier:shift] /focus [target=focus,noexists]; [target=focus,dead] /clearfocus [target=focus,help] /stopcasting /cast [target=focus,exists,harm] Polymorph; Polymorph
Polymorph can be a very useful tool in PvP, though it does have some limitations over PvE use. Specifically, the following limitations apply when Polymorphing a hostile player:
- Polymorph will never last longer than 10 seconds.
- Polymorph is subject to diminishing returns. Duration displayed on the debuff is capped at 10 seconds on the first cast, then 5 and 2.5 after subsequent casts. After the 4th cast, the target is immune. After 18 seconds of freedom from Polymorph, diminishing returns reset back to 10 seconds. Polymorph shares diminishing returns with: Freezing Arrow, Freezing Trap, Gouge, Hex, Hibernate, Hungering Cold, Repentance, Sap, Shackle, Wyvern Sting.
- Polymorph has a chance of a heartbeat resist.
- Players flying on flying mounts are immune to polymorph.
- Druids in shapeshifted forms are immune to polymorph completely, but druids in caster form can be polymorphed.
While Polymorph does regenerate the target's health quickly, it doesn't affect mana in any way. In PvP situations mages can Polymorph then bandage and/or evocate, effectively restarting a fight.
Polymorphing a Warrior using a shield and Spell Reflection can also be extremely useful if timed correctly. Rather than have a damaging spell reflected back, you can essentially sheep yourself and benefit from the healing effect.
Patch changes
- Patch 4.0.6 (8-Feb-2011): Polymorph now has a PvP duration of 8 seconds.
- / Patch 4.0.1 (12-Oct-2010): Spell ranks removed.
- / Patch 3.0.2 (14-Oct-2008): Now affected by [Glyph of Polymorph], [Glyph of the Monkey], and [Glyph of the Penguin]. Polymorph now costs 12% of base mana.
- Patch 2.4.2 (2008-05-13): Mounted creatures will no longer remain mounted while polymorphed.
- Patch 2.3.0 (13-Nov-2007): It is no longer possible to polymorph a player and have that player remain mounted. In addition, it will now always be removed correctly if multiple Mages overwrite each other's Polymorph.
- Patch 2.2.0 (25-Sep-2007): Duration against PvP targets has been reduced to 10 seconds.
- / Patch 2.0.1 (05-Dec-2006): In PvP, Crowd Control effects will last no longer than 12 seconds instead of the full duration, with a chance of a heartbeat resist. Casting a lower rank polymorph on a target that is already under the effect of a higher rank will cause an error message and not consume mana.
- Patch 1.4.0 (2005-05-05): Charm and Polymorph mechanics can now be reactively countered by spells and abilities (e.g. Druid Shapeshifting will now cancel Polymorph effects).

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Police say five suspects in a string of recent carjackings are now behind bars in Fulton and Cobb counties.
Police spokesman Carlos Campos said 21-year-old Ladarious Gibbs, 19-year-old Derek Turner, 21-year-old Brandon Washington, 21-year-old Ronald Washington, 24-year-old Andre Clark and 24-year-old Rapheal Banks are all charged with robbery/carjacking.
They're accused of six carjackings, including two at the Fulton County Library on Northside Parkway, and believed to be responsible for even more.
"These are significant arrests, because carjacking is a violent crime that often leads to even more dangerous crimes," Homicide Unit commander Lt. Paul Guerrucci said in a statement. "Getting these men off the streets will make Atlanta, and the metro area, a safer place, without question."

The government has suspended seven Lands, Housing and Human Settlements ministry officials over failure to develop towns and letting developers to construct residential houses in squatter areas.
This was said in Parliament here yesterday during the question and answer session by the ministry's Deputy Minister Goodluck ole Medeye when responding to a question by Felister Bura (Special Seats, CCM) who had wanted the government to explain measures being taken to address challenges facing development of towns.
He said the work performance of many government workers is guided by policies, laws and regulations, threatening stern measures against employees found violating stipulated laws.
Ole Medeye said the government had been taking actions against town planners proved to under perform and those violating labour laws, rules and regulations.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Minister said the government had been taking measures against leaders in various government departments proved to collaborate with town planners to allow land invaders in open spaces.
He said between 2009 and 2012 a total of seven land officials were suspended and eight others were still being investigated.
In a move aimed at improving town planning, the government has enacted a law to guide their profession, which Act number 7 of 2007, which provides for stiffer penalties against culprits.
He said according to the town planning law, any one intending to construct a house in urban areas must obtain the permit from a town council where he or she lives.
"Anyone who will construct a house without having valid documents or using fake ones being issued by untrustworthy employees will be committing a mistake," he said.
Ole Medeye explained that demolishing a house of someone who has violated urban building laws, rules, regulations and procedures wasn't a mistake or problem, but "is implementing policies and laws of the land".
He said before any demolition exercise, particularly for houses built in open spaces and road reserves, usually a notice is issued to owners requesting them to relocate on their own before they are removed by force.

Styling Tip
Step 1: Apply a dollop of mousse onto damp hair. Blow dry two-inch sections at a time using a large round brush. Lift up slightly at the roots, then roll the sections around the brush several times to create a gentle bend.
Step 2: Avoiding the top six inches of hair, spritz a two-inch section with styling spray, then wrap it around an extra-large curling iron. Hold the section in place for a few seconds to set the curl, release and repeat until all hair is done.
Step 3: Create a center part, then lightly coat fingers with shine serum and run through hair to break up the curl.

Hey all...
I just got my Brain Bag - I like it, great workmanship and design as usual.
I *did* find one thing I was sad about, and that was that neither of the large compartments contain any small pockets, pen pockets, etc.
I'm sure that the idea for this bag is that all small things either be carried in the back pockets, or in separate containers held in one of the main compartments. But I have things like a checkbook, pens, and other flat or not very thick objects that would be perfect in an inner pocket and which just make the back pockets full of too much stuff. If I put them in one of the main compartments, they puddle at the bottom, lost forever. :-)
Perhaps a teensy bit more rigidity in the middle wall separating the two compartments would allow for a few small pockets on one side of it or the other to support the weight of a few objects without sagging.
Any reason this wasn't included in the design? It's the one thing I wasn't happy about.
P.S. I'm sure no design is perfect for everyone. :-)

Cadmium Orange was the first true orange and was made by mixing Cadmium Yellow with Cadmium Red. It is a pure hue with excellent opacity and low toxicity compared with its predecessors. It also has very high hiding power. The greatest tinting strengths are possessed by the deeper shades. Only the highest grades contain pure Cadmium Orange without barium mixed in it. Cadmium pigments have been partially replaced by azo pigments, which are similar in lightfasness to the cadmium colors, cheaper, and non-toxic.
Cadmium Orange has excellent permanence, but like many cadmium pigments, it will fade in fresco or mural painting. The deeper varieties of this pigment are the most permanent. The paler varieties have been known to fade when exposed to sunlight.
Cadmium Orange is a known human carcinogen. It is extremely toxic if inhaled and slightly toxic if ingested.
Cadmiums get their names from the Latin word cadmia, meaning zinc ore calamine, and the Greek word kadmeia, meaning Cadmean earth, first found near Thebes, the city founded by the Phoenician prince Cadmus. Metallic cadmium was discovered in 1817 by Friedrich Strohmeyer. It was used sparingly after its discovery due to the scarcity of cadmium metal.

A local mom already charged with tattooing a heart on her 11-year-old daughter is now facing more charges.
Two more charges were filed in Craven County, against 30-year-old Odessa Clay of Grantsboro. The new charges are tattooing without a permit and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Those are in addition to the original charge of tattooing a person under the age of 18.
Clay told authorities that the daughter wanted the tattoo. She's due in court next Thursday.
Previous story:
A local mom is facing criminal charges because authorities say she took her 11-year-old daughter to get a tattoo.
Craven County lawmen arrested Odessa Clay and charged her with "tattooing a person under the age of 18." Multiple media outlets report that Clay, who as you can see has several tattoos of her own, used her own tools to tattoo a small heart on the 11-year-old girl's shoulder.
Clay is due in court November 15th.

DS is turning 1 in a little over a month, and DH and I thought we might get him a nice wooden toy box as a gift. This stemmed from the fact that we have no real storage for his toys. All we have right now is a set of 4x4 cube shelves with those canvas drawers, some of which is used for his bibs, blankets, etc., and is nowhere near enough for the exponentially growing toy collection.
What it's leading me to realize is that I am totally clueless about how to organize DS's space now that he has a lot of (increasingly big!) toys. He has a tiny bedroom, so most stuff is going to be in our family room. He basically has half the room, and I'm planning to set up a gated area with a mat for him to play in safely when we can't be chasing him. I have this vague vision of a series of unobtrusive, fun and cute, impeccably organized shelves and storage boxes that actually fit all his stuff and that he can access when he wants to get toys, but I have no idea where to start. I am terrible at anything beyond the most basic home organization or decor.
Can anyone share their fabulous storage ideas or products? And perhaps smack some sense into me RE: thinking I'll ever have a clean house again (not that I ever did...)?

Events Calendar
Nanoscience Adventures
Location: WonderLab Museum
Date: April 6, 2013 - April 6, 2013
Time: 12:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Members: Free
Nonmembers: Museum Admission
Audience: Elem, Teen, Adult
Go beyond the microscopic world to the nano world, and discover the science and unexpected properties of ordinary matter at the submolecular level! Multiple activity stations will offer children and adults a new perspective on "the science of scale," especially compared to what can be seen with the unaided human eye or even at the microscopic level. Special activities, which are included with museum admission, will be available on Saturday from 12:00 - 3:30 pm and on Sunday from 1:30 - 4:30 pm. Alpha Chi Sigma, the Indiana University professional chemistry fraternity, will offer special activities on Saturday. Faculty and students from the Indiana University Department of Chemistry laboratories of professors Brown, Jacobson and Yu will offer activities highlighting their ongoing nano science research on Sunday. Other highlights:
If You Were Nano Size
See what some familiar things would look like if you were shrunk down to nano size. Would you recognize the objects from your new perspective?
Nanoscience Twister
Have a blast learning nanoscience concepts as you play a nanoscience themed version of "Twister"!
Nano 3D
Scientists can't actually see a nano-sized object, but they have technology that can sense the surface of the nano-sized object and then create a 3D model of it. Mimic this process by drawing an image of a mystery object you can touch, but not see, in a box, and then view it with 3D glasses.
Bending Light
Make a color-changing bracelet to take home with you as you learn how scientists create invisibility technology and color-changing materials by bending light.
Carbon Nanotube Sculpture
Help construct a giant model of a carbon nanotube, which will get longer and longer throughout the day until it reaches the ceiling of the museum! Then imagine a space elevator built by super strong carbon nanotubes, and draw your own concept of a space elevator to take home.
Smaller and Smaller
Mimic one of the ways scientists make nano-sized things by cutting a larger object into smaller and smaller pieces. Then have fun creating a gooey substance to mimic the "bottom up" method scientists use to make nano-sized things from single-molecule components that arrange themselves into some useful substance.
Nano All Around Us
Discover some surprising applications of nanoscience to stuff you probably have in your home! Explore how nanoscience may change your life in the future.
Nanoscience Adventures is part of NanoDaysTM, a nationwide festival of educational programs to help the public understand emerging nanoscale science and engineering. Nanotechnology is revolutionizing research and development in medicine, computing, new materials, food, energy, and other areas. Some scientists think that future nanotechnologies and materials could transform our lives as much as cars or the personal computer. NanoDays is organized by the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Net) with support from the National Science Foundation.

In an effort to go a step further professionally and take Bongoflava music to another level, talented and famous artist, Afro Man who features Lady Jay Dee in his current hit 'Zaidi Yako' has said 2012 is the year he plans to extend his wings to the East Africa Community (EAC) market.
Speaking to this newspaper in Dar es Salaam yesterday, Afro Man whose real name is Rashid Nusukoti said he is well prepared and will soon introduce his hits to the East African market.
"I need to use the East African common market opportunity to introduce my songs to the East African market. I want to conquer the markets in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda and Burundi," said a confident Afro Man.
Afro Man said he is currently preparing the hit 'Hawavumi' which will be out very soon. "I'm sure the track 'Hawavumi' will be a hit all over the region, because both the vocal and instrumentals are well organized and I'm sure to beat competition in the market," he said.
The singer said the beats prepared by Twins of Roca Tizy from Morogoro are ready and mentioned Makochali of MJ Records as the producer. "My fans should be ready to enjoy the hit any time from now."
To ensure he survives competition in the EAC market, Afro Man says he has made sure all his hits are unique thanks to his 'Kengeta Style'. Details on this? His fans "should just wait and see for themselves."
He is confident that Kengeta will be enjoyed and adored by all, be it children, adolescents and adults. The style, he says is what he believes will make him stand out from the crowd!
