Thank you very, very much for another useful tutorial! I'll try this on the weekend! Thanks a lot!
This is in response to a request to show I made the demo mountains in post 7 of this thread.
The embarrassing thing is that I was just winging it, not paying attention (I tend to play/undo, tweak mercilessly until I get the look I like). So following is a summary of the MAIN steps I used.
I'm trying a different format this time, so I have 5 steps per image. I'd suggest opening them in a new window/tab as you follow along with the text.
1) Starting with a piece of Nerdling's map (which has nice colours already - which is why I'm not going to show anything about colours except snowcap).
2) Make a selection using the lasso tool around the area(s) you want the mountains. On the Channels tab, click New Channel. Select the "Initialize from selection" check. This will give us the ability to bring up the selection again by coming back to the channels tab, selecting the "Selection" channel and clicking the "Selection from Channel" button (next to the garbage can icon)
3) Create a new black filled layer named "Blur". Since we still have the selection, fill it with white. Select>None then Gaussian blur 100 px or so (it depends on the size of the map...)
4) Create another new black filled layer named Noise. Load up the selection channel as a selection, and feather it 50 px or so (again, depending on the map...)
5) Fill the feathered selection with B&W rendered cloud or noise (I used the Felimage Noise plugin)
6) Create another black filled layer named "Angular Fill". With our feathered selection, fill it with a Shaped (dimpled) gradient fill.
7) Change Layer Modes of the Angular Fill and Noise layers to Addition. The image will look all blown out. Select the Blur layer and adjust the levels, pulling down the output bright level to 85 or so.
On the Noise Level, Also pull down the brightest level to 50 or so. Do this by sliding the input white level down to where you see something on the histogram, and slide the output white level down to 50.
9) You could use the levels on the Angular fill layer, but you get more control with curves (this is where I spend lots of time "tweaking"). First, bring down the right land side of the line until there are no highlight blowouts (watch the image). Then shape the curve similar to what I have done.
10) Use Layers>New from Visible to create a copy of the heightfield so far, and use the curves tool on this new layer (I renamed it New from Visible...it is created with the name Visible). Make the curve like I show. The idea is to make it resemble the cross section of a mountain range. This is what really defines the peaks.
11) Duplicate that layer, and run Filters>Distort>Emboss. The Azimuth (light angle) and Depth can be what you want, but the elevation MUST be at 30! (This will give all horizontal surfaces a value of 50% grey... perfect for later)
12) Load up that selection from the Selection channel. feather it by 50 px or so, then invert it.
13) Making sure the emboss layer is selected (It gets unselected when you click on a channel), set the foregound colour to 50% grey and fill the layer. This will smooth out the ridges that were evident in the embossed layer in the nearly flat areas. I filled it a second time, as I could still see the ridges (It depends on what your depth was when you ran the emboss filter).
14) Turn off all the Blur, Noise, Angular Fill, and New from Visible Layers, and set the Emboss Layer mode to Hard Light (or Overlay... again, it depends on the image and colours). I wanted to reduce the contast without effecting the 50% level, so using the curves tool, first anchor the 50/50 mark in the middle of the line with a click, then grab the black and white ends and slide them up and down respectively, keeping an eye on the result.
15) A little snow in the heights looks good. Conveniently we have a heightfield ready to use. Turn the visibility of the New fon Visible layer back on, and set its layer mode to Screen. Now apply a threshold, and slide the black level up to a point where you have the amount of "snow" desired.
16) Lastly I ran a 5 px Gaussian blur on the New from visible layer, and lowered the opacity a bit.
That is it.
It is all the playing with curves and adjusting levels in the addition stack when building the heightfield that make this work OK. You could even go further, adding more layer to the stack to represent really big peaks, etc. If you wanted to make mesa's, you could just allow the highlights to blow out, making the top flat!
Hope this was useful, comments on both the content and the format are appreciated.

Thank you very, very much for another useful tutorial! I'll try this on the weekend! Thanks a lot!
Ok. I'm downloading GIMP now since this clearly can't be done in PS
Hi, RobA.
This is an extremely useful tutorial and one that I intend to put to use as soon as I get GIMP installed. Thank you for writing this up for us to use!
================================================== =====
Hi, All.
I have converted Rob's excellent tutorial to a PDF document and have attached it to this thread.
In the end you will see, you is you and me is me.

Nice! I've definitely got to play with this tutorial more.
I'm hacking my way into the cartographical realm with AutoRealm, AutoCAD, GIMP, and Google Sketchup as my tools!
"Civilized men are more discourteous than savages
because they know they can be impolite without
having their skulls split, as a general thing."
Good stuff. I'm sure I'm messing up somewhere, but a few passes at it got some decent results. The tops looked cut off, probably because I didn't do the curves right.
The ridges were a little harsh for me, so I went through and smoothed it out manually.
I've already had lots better luck with this than the mountains in the the regional map tutorial, thanks RobA!
I think this tutorial, along with the regional tutorial, are extremely useful. It's taken me a week of after work mapping to really get a good hang of them, but I'm eally starting to like the results. The original regional tutorial frustrated me at the mountain stage, but this one really fills in the gaps.

My students and I are actively communicating in Facebook and we just love it so much .
Last week when I was teaching them the grammar topic : Compound words , a girl raised her hand and asked one brilliant question : Teacher, is FAcebook a compound word ?
And I thought "Oh oh !! " but my answer was "yes" because it combines 2 words with own meaning , then forming another meaning of its own. But then I was thinking, Facebook is spelled with capital letter F meaning it is a proper noun. So, can proper noun be a compound word ..
A discussion with a good friend who has always been my mentor brought me to this link :
So, to all my dear students, check this out, you may find some interesting new info.

Virginia's Chesterfield County police have determined that there was no criminal negligence on the part of the school personnel in the tragic food-allergy death of 7-year-old Amarria Johnson on January 2, 2012.
Also cleared of criminal wrongdoing, thankfully, was the child on the school playground who, not knowing of the allergy, handed Amarria the fateful peanut – which Amarria then popped in her mouth and swallowed. I can only imagine the particular hell that child, and also the teacher and health-clinic aide who attempted to help Amarria in the short period before her death all must feel today.
Of course, I wish they had all acted differently that day. I especially wish that clinic aide had taken one of the auto-injectors available at the school, but prescribed to other children, and ripped off the safety cap, injected it into Amarria's thigh as she descended into anaphylaxis – an injection that most likely would have saved her life. But it was against the school's rules to do so, possibly against the law as epinephrine in Virginia, as in so many states, can be taken to school, but can only be administered to the person named on the prescription label.
In the online aftermath of this tragedy, some are admonishing Amarria's mother Laura Pendleton, asking why she hadn't provided an epinephrine auto-injector to the school. But I can't find it in my heart to blame a mother mourning the loss of her little girl. In her shoes, what mother wouldn't already be plagued by self-recrimination and "if only I hads". Besides, we don't even know whether it was the school's fault or Pendleton's oversight that Amarria didn't have an auto-injector at school.
As CNN reported, Pendleton has said she asked a school official about sending an auto-injector in with her daughter, but was told, no, please just keep it at home. The school has said only that there was no device provided for the child. It gets murky and he said/she said. The only point of raising this is: a big part of the preventing future tragedies has to be that epinephrine is available at all times to any child at risk of anaphylaxis at school.
Now here's where I do find fault, with all of us as an allergy community and with the lack of communication about the importance of the auto-injector, most commonly known being the EpiPen brand. As a community of parents and advocates, we spend an awful lot of time talking about the fact that an allergen like peanut can kill, but we don't give equal time to talking about epinephrine, the drug that can turn off the anaphylactic reaction like a faucet.
Nor do we remember that we need to continuously impress upon others the relative safety of that drug and, thirdly, the absolute need for speed when a food or sting allergy reaction is in progress. We grow so familiar with this knowledge that we at times forget to share it. Let's consciously change that.
Next: A lifesaver of a drug

For hay grower and cattle rancher Kelly Lyon of Silt, the historic drought of 2012 brought an unexpected boon.
Despite scorching heat in July that hurt his hay production, Lyon got a premium price for the hay he did produce - around $300 per ton, up from $200 in a typical year. His Black Angus cattle, too, fetched high prices, partly due to a shortage of animals from drought-stricken states like Texas and Oklahoma.
Yet Lyon was also fortunate to possess senior water rights, ensuring he could irrigate his fields.
"If there's water in the river, we'll get it," he said.
In early January, farmers in many parts of the country were fretting about the failure of the U.S. Congress to pass a five-year extension of the federal Farm Bill. (Lawmakers settled instead for a 9-month extension that continues controversial subsidies and fails to fund some newer programs).
In Western Colorado, however, where production of commodity crops is low and many producers aren't directly affected by Farm Bill legislation, all thoughts are on the ongoing drought.
And many farmers and ranchers aren't as sanguine as Lyons about continuing water shortages.
"To go through a second year like 2012 would definitely be tough," said Ken Kuhns, who manages Peach Valley Community Supported Agriculture Farm near Silt with his wife, Gail, growing about six acres of mixed vegetables, flowers and fruit. "We've learned that we need those mid-summer rains."
Although Peach Valley enjoys decent rights to water from a nearby ditch, Kuhns said the drought certainly affected last year's production. He plants spinach in the fall for early spring harvest, and harvested about 100 pounds of it last spring, compared to 600 pounds the year before.
"A lot of that was due to moisture," he said.
As of Feb. 7, snowpack in the Colorado River basin hovered around 60 percent of average. That's about where it stood at the same time last year. But that was before the scorching summer heat depleted millions of gallons of water from area reservoirs.
"I think this drought is going to last us longer than the one in 2002, and that's because the reservoirs are all empty," said Paul Bernklau, a retired rancher from Rifle and a former president of the Colorado Cattlemen's Association. "Many people don't realize how close Colorado is to being out of water."
Bernklau is a seasoned drought-watcher. It was during the drought of 2002 that he was forced to sell out of the cattle industry.
"Getting out was the only smart move I made in the cattle business," he joked. "A lot of ranchers in the area had to sell out that year."
Faced with such climatic uncertainty, diversification may be the best way for farmers to avoid losing their shirts. Kuhns of Peach Valley said he sometimes plants fewer water-intensive crops like corn during dry years, and the CSA model, where members pay early in the season for a box of produce all summer long, protects Peach Valley from bankruptcy if production suffers due to extreme weather.
Even Lyons, who is optimistic about the 2013 season, has diversified away from agriculture. Most of his income comes from other ventures: a construction company, a scrap metal business, and several commercial rentals.
"It seems like it takes all that to make a living these days," he said.

Cover Story | August 2013
One-on-one with instructor and examiner
Pilot Magazine
Now the 180-horsepower Super Decathlon has a bigger sibling--the 210-horsepower American Champion Xtreme features newly designed ailerons in addition to the Lycoming AEIO-390 engine. You can punch deeper holes in the sky, flying straight up, and roll at 120 degrees per second instead of 90.
While general aviation faces numerous challenges, arguably none is bigger than the future of our powerplants. Today, most of us fly behind, next to, or in front of engines designed 70 or more years ago.
Four years ago, AOPA's annual convention broke several longstanding traditions, changing its name to AOPA Aviation Summit and tweaking its format to encourage engagement and interaction among those attending. Now, AOPA Summit is breaking with another tradition--that of alternating between East Coast and West Coast locations. AOPA Aviation Summit 2013 will be held in Fort Worth, Texas, October 10 through 12.
The Beech T–34 and Nanchang CJ–6 were built at the same time for the same purpose--military flight training--yet the two airplanes are a study in contrasts.
This month, we welcome esteemed aviation writer Barry Schiff into the ring. He and Senior Editor Dave Hirschman debate the merits of one of aviation's finest inventions--the E6B computer.
I think AOPA's sweepstakes Debonair must surely take the prize for the most advanced panel in a 50-year-old general aviation airplane--anywhere in the world. Although space doesn't permit a full description of all its functionality, it's worth reviewing the hardware in the Debonair's office.
You're vacationing in a sunny place--let's say the Florida Keys--and you can't help but dream about how nice it would be to fly along the coast. But you have no airplane on this trip, and your schedule doesn't really allow for the half-day it likely would take to get checked out at the local FBO.
I was taking an intensive flight training course earlier this year, and it ended up being a real workout. By this I mean instrument weather for much of the nine hours I flew during the weeklong course.
The windsock indicated a direct and very strong crosswind as the clipped-wing J–3 Cub touched down on the runway. The pilot, Jimmy Gist, was doing a masterful job of putting the feather-light airplane down on its main wheels and tracking the centerline despite the stiff winter wind.
For such a tiny part of the airplane, the third wheel of a taildragger has a vicious bite if it's not treated with proper respect. "You can't get lazy in a tailwheel," instructor Ron Rapp explained early in 5G Aviation's tailwheel endorsement training program at Southern California's John Wayne Airport-Orange County.
In January 1998, as I prepared for my second legislative session as a New Mexico state representative, my wife Cynthia asked me to fly her to Arkansas to visit our daughter. The weather briefer reported a fast-moving cold front that might necessitate an instrument approach.
What will likely kill you? Heart disease--the most common cause of death in America. "But I eat well, exercise, and don't smoke, so I'm OK, right?" That ain't necessarily so.
Last month we reviewed what I call the "standard" VFR weather minimums. This month we get to the more complicated but happily lower, less stringent, minimums that are available in some airspace for some particular operations.
In the early 1980s I was offered a trip by airplane to a speaking engagement by a fellow named Pete, who had hired me to speak. He had just purchased a Comanche 250. Given my assumption of riding right seat, I eagerly accepted.
Media and political reality today are designed to scare. Be afraid--be very afraid that something terrible will happen to you or someone you know. The motive is usually to sell something or to advance a position.
Thirty-two years ago I wrote a feature article titled, "Death of an Airport" (August 1981 "AOPA Pilot"). It described how the city council of Santa Monica, California, had been conducting a war of attrition against aviation users in an unveiled attempt to close one of the oldest airports in the country.
Just as it's important to check in with those whacky relatives in your extended family from time to time, it's good that general aviation keeps tabs on what is happening in our extended aviation family. What crazy Aunt Mary says to Cousin Suzie can sometimes have widespread consequences in the family.
During most AOPA Town Hall gatherings, I remind participating members that AOPA's founders created our organization in 1939 largely because they feared that a government about to enter a world war just might regulate general aviation out of existence. Nearly 75 years later, our mission is grounded in similar concerns--raised not by the prospect of war but by the growing power of regulatory agencies, many of which operate with increasing autonomy and minimal oversight.
What AOPA is doing to keep you flying.
If Richard Lugg has his way, the next generation of supersonic civilian aircraft will shoot through the sky powered by engines that turn out a massive electrical charge, much of it converted into thrust with megawatts left over to silence the sonic boom.
When Vladimir Lange first soloed in the early 1970s, he was a young medical-school student at Harvard. It was a long journey from his youth in Russia (his family was loyal to the czar and escaped to Brazil during the Russian Revolution), growing up in the rain forest, living in a desert village in Iran, to high school in a Jesuit convent in France.
Pilot Skip Gibbs regularly uses his Bonanza A36 to bring medical volunteers and supplies to remote areas of Mexico. Just before sunset, Gibbs was flying to the historic city of El Fuerte in the state of Sinaloa where LIGA International Flying Doctors of Mercy has been doing good works since 1934.
There's a momentary doubt each time we check in on a new frequency: Did I hear it right? Did I dial it in correctly? Was I given the proper frequency? Garmin's new radios, the GNC 255A nav/com and the GTR 225 com, take away any uncertainty.
Senior Editor Ian J. Twombly posed the question: should a flight student buy or rent an aircraft? We received quite a response.

Ok, so it was nice of the testers to open up and face the public on the new set, but I have to cast doubt on the whole of how testing is currently set up.
I've just had my feathers smoothed by being told not to worry if any spikes appear then changes will be made.
So I spend on this set and get a totally awesome card. The next week I find it has been castrated by the team. I just can't think of any other shop that would happen in. Cars get put right if there is a fault not if they go well!
So how about this. The next new set you give to everyone for two weeks. The team study the arena and then after that time act. The set is taken away and we are at least given a good idea of the cards stats for awhile to come. Anything else is kind of false advertising.

R.Y. and B.R. contributed equally to this work.
Mechanisms for sex- and depot-specific fat formation are unclear. We investigated the role of retinoic acid (RA) production by aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (Aldh1a1, -a2, and -a3), the major RA-producing enzymes on sex-specific fat depot formation. Female Aldh1a1−/− mice, but not males, were resistant to high-fat (HF) diet-induced visceral adipose formation, whereas subcutaneous fat was reduced similarly in both groups. Sexual dimorphism in visceral fat (VF) was attributable to elevated adipose triglyceride lipase (Atgl) protein expression localized in clusters of multilocular Ucp1-positive cells in female Aldh1a1−/− compared with males. Estrogen decreased Aldh1a3 expression, limiting conversion of retinaldehyde (Rald) to RA. Rald effectively induced Atgl levels via nongenomic mechanisms, demonstrating indirect regulation by estrogen. Experiments in transgenic mice, expressing an RA receptor response element (RARE-lacZ) revealed HF diet–induced RARE activation in VF of females but not males. In humans, stromal cells isolated from VF of obese subjects also expressed higher levels of Aldh1 enzymes compared with lean subjects. Our data suggest that an HF diet mediates VF formation through a sex-specific autocrine Aldh1 switch, in which Rald-mediated lipolysis in Ucp1-positive visceral adipocytes is replaced by RA-mediated lipid accumulation. Our data suggest that Aldh1 is a potential target for sex-specific antiobesity therapy.

Joomla 1.6 includes a basic way to implement a multi-language site. This feature does not work as an association-type display where each content, whatever it is, has an equivalent in another language (it does not replace other multi-lingual extensions managers, such as Joomfish).
This is why using the Language Switcher Module to change language is set to redirect to another Content Language Home Page. To be able to implement the feature, 7 aspects have to be dealt with.
- The Content Language parameters in the Language Manager
- Assigning these Content languages to various items using the "Language" parameter.
- Defining a Default Home page Menu item per language
- The languagefilter System Plugin
- The mod_languages Module (also called Langswitcher)
- Define a default site template per Content language if needed.
- Make sure the site language packs are installed and enabled for any content language you want to display
- 1 The "Content" tab in Language Manager
- 2 The "Language" parameter in 1.6
- 3 Defining a Default Home page Menu item per language
- 4 The languagefilter System Plugin
- 5 The mod_languages Module (also called Langswitcher)
- 6 Define a default site template per Content language
- 7 Install the necessary site language packs
- 8 How to Test (in beta 1.6)
The "Content" tab in Language Manager
There, one can create a "Content Language", even if the site language is not yet installed.
- Title = The name of the language as it will appear in the dropdown lists when assigning the language to an item. This Title will also be used by the langswitcher module in front-end when flags are not used.
- Title Native = A title in any language desired by the admin to be displayed in the Content Language list.
- URL Language Code= This Language Code will be appended to the site url. When SEF is enabled, one will get http://mysite.com/en/. If SEF is disabled the suffix &lang=en will be appended at the end of the URL. Note the Language Code must be unique among all the languages.
- Image Prefix = Prefix of the image file for this language when using the "Use image flags" Language Switcher basic option. Example: if 'en' is chosen, then the image shall be en.gif. Images and CSS for this module are in media/mod_languages/ . Users can add any image/flag there with any prefix. Example: pt_br for the Brazilian flag.
- Language Tag = Enter here the language tag example: en-GB for English (UK). This should be the exact prefix used for the language installed or to be installed.
- Published = Whether this content language is published or not. If published, it will display as a choice in the Language Switcher module in frontend. To work OK, the specific site language must be installed. One can prepare contents in a specific Content Language without even installing the language concerned, and just do it when deciding to publish that language.
- Metadata = These metadata definitions will override Global Configuration Metadata in Multilanguage configuration for each language used.
The "Language" parameter in 1.6
Not only Articles but everything is taggable to a specific Content language. Modules obviously but also Categories, Banners, Weblinks, Newsfeeds, Menu Items...
Defining a Default Home page Menu item per language
As the Language Switcher Module is set to redirect to another Content Language Home Page, one has to be defined for each language.
Important Note: A default Menu containing a Home page menu item tagged to "All" should still exist, and the menu module displaying it should not be published.
The languagefilter System Plugin
This plugin filters the displayed content depending on language. This plugin is to be enabled -only- when the Language Switcher module is published.
The mod_languages Module (also called Langswitcher)
This module displays a list of available Content Languages (as defined and published in Language Manager Content tab) for switching between them when one wants to use Joomla! as a multilanguage site.
The plugin 'System - Language Filter' has to be published. When switching languages, the module redirects to the Home page defined for the chosen language. Thereafter, the navigation will be the one defined for that language. If the plugin 'System - Language Filter' is unpublished, this may have unwanted results. Method:
- Open Language Manager Content tab and make sure the Languages you want to use in contents are published and have a prefix for the URL as well as prefix for the image used in the module display.
- Create a Home page by assigning a language to a menu item and defining it as Default Home page for each published content language.
- Thereafter, you can assign a language to any Article, Category, Module, Newsfeed, Weblinks in Joomla.
- Assign the Langswitcher module to each Specific Default Language Content Home page and param it to use flags or text to display the choice in front-end.
- New parameters for 1.6.1: display or not the active language, choose between horizontal and vertical display.
* Make sure both the module and the plugin are published.
Define a default site template per Content language
If one wants to use different templates styles per Content language, instead of defining for each menu item a different template style, one can assign globally a template style per language when editing it in the Template Manager. This is very handy when one needs to use different headers, logos, etc. for each Content language. It also covers any issue arising from loading a page not linked to any menu item where the default template style would be used, whatever it is.
Install the necessary site language packs
Last but not least, each content language to be displayed should have the Joomla site language pack installed and enabled.
How to Test (in beta 1.6)
Obviously, Sample data is not the best way to demonstrate easily the power of this new Feature. But one can test a simple site with the following actions using the temporary test language xx-XX. One prerequisite is that it should remain a Home menu item tagged to "All" and defined as default Home, the module displaying it being unpublished or assigned to a non available position in the template
- Define CONTENT LANGUAGES in the Language Manager, URL Language code for the url and flag for each. Default available are en-GB and xx-XX.
- Create a Parent Article Category tagged to en-GB and one tagged to xx-XX
- Create articles in each of these categories, tagging the articles to the same language as the category.
- If you like, create sub categories with articles, all tagged as should.
- Create one menu per language, tagged as should. This will create 2 menu modules. Tag them to the language concerned.
- Create menu items tagged to that language in each menu. For now variations of the Article menu items (blog, list, single...)
- Define one menu item per language/menu as the Home for this language.
- Publish the langswitcher module (tagged to language "All") and assign ONLY to each Content Language Home Menu Item (Parks Home and Fruitshop Welcome in the fast test)
- Publish the languagefilter plugin.
Tip for a fast test: [Tag the Park Home menu item to en-GB and as Default Home, same for the Fruitshop Welcome menu item tagged to xx-XX and set as default home for this language. Make sure the langfilter plugin is published and that the langswitcher module is published and assigned to position7 for the 2 home pages]

Comments On Aug 13, 2014:Performed great at the dunes In Oklahoma . Front tires gave some added bite when needed ..
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 19, 2013:Got a set of 4 for our RZR. Was drawn to these due to the price and the fact that they are wider tires than most of the paddles available ... which was likely an advantage on the heavy RZR 4 to keep the front end floating. Just not sure how spending more on front sand tires could help performance ... very happy with the way these handled.

Comments On Nov 28, 2012:I purchased these tires because I wanted an 8" wide front sand tire to help with the soft stuff. I put them on my 700XX to match with AMS paddles in the back. I've taken them to the Imperial Sand Dunes on two multi-day trips now. I really like them, they turn great and float really well. Most especially they help with the steep hill climbs because they glide so well. These tires with 10X5 3+2 wheels make my front-end wider than stock which also helps with stability. No regrets.

And because they do not have the high marketing overhead shared by the name brands, the pricing of Mirabelle products is surprisingly attractive.

Denver is putting out the welcome mat for a group from the Republican National Committee on the first of six visits to potential hosts for the party's national convention in 2016.
Committee officials want to take a closer look at venues, hotels and financing on Wednesday.
The Republican National Committee announced earlier this month that Denver made the latest cut along with Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dallas, Kansas City and Las Vegas. Columbus and Phoenix were eliminated from consideration.
According to the Denver Post, Denver says its success with the 2008 Democratic convention shows it can handle such a large event. Republicans would be nominating their presidential candidate in the same city where Barack Obama won his nomination.

A controversial wage tax for workers in La Grange has been shelved once again.
La Grange City Council members voted 5-3 Monday to postpone a vote on a proposed occupational tax ordinance.
The delay forced council members to rethink the city's proposed budget for 2013-14. The council rejected it by a 6-2 vote.
The occupational tax had garnered much attention since it was proposed May 6.
More than 100 people showed up for the meeting, most of them outwardly opposed to the tax.

[UPDATE] CFP: Edited Collection on Bruce Springsteen for Routledge Studies in Popular Music Series
full name / name of organization:
Bill Wolff / Rowan University
contact email:
I am soliciting abstracts by scholars from all disciplines, including scholar-fans and fan-scholars, to be considered for inclusion in an edited collection on Bruce Springsteen, which will eventually be submitted to Routledge's Studies in Popular Music series. The editor of this series has expressed an interest in seeing a Springsteen collection proposal.
In the middle of Bruce Springsteen's 2012 Wrecking Ball tour promotional interview with the Paris media, one reporter observed, "so many people these past couple years look to you for your interpretation of events… . Look at us: when we were waiting for you earlier, so many people care about what you think, and what you feel about what is happening in the world."
For many around the globe, Springsteen has become a voice of the everyday citizen in a political and social climate where such voices are marginalized. He has received a Kennedy Center Honor and with Peter Seeger sang before millions after Barack Obama was elected President for the first time. He has actively located his work within the lineage of Woody Guthrie and Seeger, reinforcing the necessity of contemporary folk music. In his SXSW Keynote he also asserted the importance of early rock and roll on his work, exclaiming, "Listen up, youngsters: this is how successful theft is accomplished!" In other places, he has discussed the significant influence of film and short stories, often describing his records as cinematic and looking for sounds that would evoke certain images. A new community of musicians, such as Tom Morello, Mumford and Sons, the Hold Steady, and Arcade Fire, has looked to him as a guide. In his most recent albums, Springsteen remixes work in the public domain and covers lesser known artists whose work speaks in a voice similar to his own. He has become quite adept at composing songs that respond to immediate contemporary events, such as "American Skin (41 Shots)" and "How Can a Good Man Stand Such Times and Live." As performers, Springsteen and the E Street Band are incomparable, with shows lasting over 3 hours without a break.
Despite his contemporary appeal, Springsteen also seems to be rooted in the traditional relationship between label and artist. His recent move to release live versions of his shows soon after the events, while seemingly progressive, reinforces artist- and label-centric publishing with the possibility of refocusing fans on official bootlegs rather than those they compose themselves. Yet, Springsteen doesn't seem to mind—and rather enjoys—fans recording his concerts with their phones and uploading them to YouTube. He is genuinely appreciative of the efforts fans go through to see his shows and has fun with their sign requests. The decades-long conversation he has been having with his fans (and fans with other fans) has, like all conversations, been made more complex as a result of convergent media.
Within this context has been a steady stream of writing on Springsteen, including several recent biographies, collections of interviews, international symposia, and the upcoming first issue of an academic journal dedicated to Springsteen.
The Routledge Studies in Popular Music series is described as a "home for cutting-edge, upper-level scholarly studies and edited collections covering Popular Music. Considering music performance, theory, and culture alongside topics such as gender, race, celebrity, fandom, tourism, fashion, and technology, titles are characterized by dynamic interventions into established subjects and innovative studies on emerging topics."
Possible subjects might include but are certainly not limited to:
Please submit a 500 - 750 word abstract and 200-word biographical note that to Bill Wolff, Associate Professor of Writing Arts, Rowan University, at email@example.com by June 8, 2014. Indicate the anticipated word length of your chapter, between 3000 and 6000 words. Biographical note should in part describe your qualifications for writing your article. Authors will be notified of acceptance by July 6, 2014. Once abstracts have been accepted, a proposal will be submitted to Routledge. If accepted, chapters will be due in late 2014. All chapters will receive blind review.

Use these sharpening stones for maintaining a mirror-honed edge on your tools.
Arkansas Sharpening Stone — Due to its ability to impart the highest perfection to the cutting edge, the Arkansas Stone takes its place as the aristocrat among sharpening stones. Natural stones are quarried from the finest Ozark novaculite (silicon quartz) deposits, precision sawn to size, and finished to exacting surface configurations. Hard Arkansas stones are the finest-grained and most dense natural stone available. This stone has a hard, translucent, ultra-fine finish that has a very low metal removal rate. Use it to impart a mirror finish to your knife's edge.
Double-Sided India Sharpening Stone — India sharpening stones are manufactured using a proprietary process that impregnates them with a petroleum-based product that allows the lubrication used during the sharpening process to stay on the stone's surface. As a result, the metal from the object being sharpened and small pieces of abrasive that break off the stone become suspended in the lubricant. This prevents these materials from imbedding into the sharpening stone's surface, keeping it free-cutting and easy to clean. The Large Round India stone and Medium Rectangular India stone are double-sided, with a coarse side and a fine side.

Going is an oil refining and sales company featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. In GTA Vice City, a Going filling station is located in Washington Beach, directly opposite the Washington Mall. In GTA San Andreas, there is a filling station located in Idlewood, Los Santos (which has a Gang Tag behind the Car Wash sign.) The name and logo is a parody of Mobil while the car may be a parody of the Chevron cars used in many Chevron commercials in the 1990's. The logo can be found on Hotring Racers in GTA Vice City. Each Going station has a non-functional car wash.
Due to it's operating in Vice City as well as Los Santos may indicate that it is a larger company and more able to compete with larger petroleum companies. However, it only operates one filling station in the State of San Andreas - located in Los Santos. So it could still be a minor player in the industry.
Going may make use of the large Green Palms refinery and Octane Springs oil fields along with Tosser, Gasso and most likely Xoomer.

Akeem Cruz of Brooklyn was accused of bringing Maine resident Megan Waterman to New York to work as a prostitute; Waterman was later found dead, a victim of a suspected seriel killer.
NEW YORK (AP) _ A pimp convicted of bringing a Maine woman to New York to work as a prostitute has been sentenced to three years in prison.
The woman was later found dead on the side of a Long Island beach highway, a victim of a suspected serial killer.
Newsday reports U.S. District Judge Edward Korman noted Friday that 23-year-old Akeem Cruz of Brooklyn was not responsible for Megan Waterman's death. But he noted he had put her in danger.
Cruz was arrested on federal charges of interstate transportation for the purpose of prostitution. He took her to a Long Island hotel, where she was last seen alive in May 2010.
Remains of 10 victims have been found on Long Island since December 2010. No suspects have been identified.

May 2, 2016
The skeletal remains of a 57-year-old woman reported missing last spring have been found in a wooded area of Guilford County.
Sheriff B.J. Barnes says deer hunters found the remains of Nancy Twyman Jenkins at around 10:30 a.m. Monday in a thicket about a half a mile from the woman's home.
Jenkins was last seen May 31, and her vehicle and other personal belongings were still at her home. Barnes says deputies had responded to a suspicious call at the home but didn't release further information.
An autopsy is pending to determine how Jenkins died. Sheriff's Maj. Tom Sheppard said there had been no effort to conceal the remains, which still were clothed.

What is your favorite Arhas actor?
Jammie Lannister
What is your favorite Arhas actor?
Jammie Lannister
Well I guess if he does appear in the movie we could toss in just any generic tall blonde dude and it would do.
Hell, even Ashton Kutcher could probably be Arthas, such a bland character...
Imho, he was just some angry kid that got a toy and then got angrier. Shallow character development with little motivation, no surprising twists and died leaving a bunch of loose ends (Sylvanas or Mal'Ganis didn't get their revenge, Jaina didn't get to confront him, Muradin or Saurfang didn't get to see him after all that Lootship nonsense etc).
I honestly hope the movie isn't about him.
Meh! Both actors are too old.
Arthas should really be a lot younger, early 20s ish imo. Part of the character is that he is still very young, not really seen battle and got something to prove.
Its a snowball's chance in Hell any of these guys would resign themselves to a Video Game based movie, but...
Chris Helmsworth. (AKA Thor)
While its true Arthas began as a bland heroic and out-to-prove-himself "Once a future King" Paladin. Even had a male role model that was twice as "Wholesome" as he was. He was also cocky, arrogant and liked to take matters into his own hands. That my friends is the same character bio as the Thor from the Marvel movie.
Now picture a character like Thor in Stratholme watching families be burned alive locked inside their homes never knowing what they did to deserve it. Imagine his face twisted with rage toward Mal'ganis for making him do this to his people and the look of betrayal on their faces for their knight in shining armor commiting mass murder. Now picture Thor fully taken by Obsession, Hate, and disregard for any of his failed lessons of nobility, honor and loyalty standing above his loving father Terenas right before he "succeeded" him.
The rise and fall from hero to villian needs a character like Chris Helmsworth to give a powerful performance from the good Arthas to the Lich King. If he's good enough to Wield Mjolnir he good enough to wield Frostmourne.
They can either go and show the whole WARCRAFT Universe in few parts ( Trilogy) and show us all that wow has to offer till now or they could just concentrate on one person and narrates the story of this young prince
Personally i'd love to watch Arthas's story and see how connected it is to Warcraft universe but hey that's a long shot , in fact , lots of people would love to see Illidan and that war of the ancient thing
Good thing Arthas had some business with Illidan so no matter the outcome, we may get to see Arthas ^^
No, it'll just be an one-sided movie focused on Humans in their fight against Orcs. Probably set up right befor the first war.
---------- Post added 2013-01-31 at 07:08 PM ----------
Sylvannas is more interesting. But you probably couldnt tell her story without Arthas.
LOL!Another thing that gets me is the general chat when inside the Garrison. It totally reminds me of every prison film I've ever watched. The prisoners confined to their cells are talking to each other through the walls. Their chat is mostly pointless, vulgar and revolving around stuff they ll do once they get out. This is EXACTLY the content of every Garrison chat I've ever had to tolerate.
Is it confirmed the movie is going to be about Arthas? In that case I have missed something.
Anyway, I think both actors are too old to be Arthas. Arthas was barely an adult. Of course, some make up could get them very close, but there are probably better choices out there.
Connan Farrell in Alexander would've been a great Arthas. :P
LOL!Another thing that gets me is the general chat when inside the Garrison. It totally reminds me of every prison film I've ever watched. The prisoners confined to their cells are talking to each other through the walls. Their chat is mostly pointless, vulgar and revolving around stuff they ll do once they get out. This is EXACTLY the content of every Garrison chat I've ever had to tolerate.

Author Sharyn McCrumb Visits Vol State for ReadingSharyn McCrumb specializes in Appalachian-themed novels that weave together history, family pressures and rural life. Her book "The Ballad of Frankie Silver" is this year's group read for Sumner County One Book, One Community project. The author will read from her work, and answer questions, during an event at Volunteer State Community College on October 24.
Here is the description of "The Ballad of Frankie Silver" from St. Martin's publishing:
"In a little mountain cemetery in Mitchell County, North Carolina stand three graves—all belonging to the same man. Behind the legend of graves is the true story of Frankie Silver, an 18-year old frontier girl, hanged for murder in Burke County North Carolina in 1833, for a crime she might not have committed. This stirring tale of mountain justice is also a study of a frontier family, and of the contrasts between the mountain South of log cabins and trappers and the flat land South of plantations."
Sharyn McCrumb is the author of several novels, including "The Rosewood Casket" and "She Walks These Hills." Her books have been named Notable Books of the Year by the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, and she has been honored for her contribution to Appalachian literature.
The Vol State Thigpen Library is leading the One Book, One Community project and working with the public libraries of Gallatin, Hendersonville, Portland, Westmoreland and White House.
McCrumb will speak at 7 p.m. in the Thigpen Library on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. The event is free and open to the public. For more information call 615-230-3400. A reading guide and other information about the community read can be found at www.volstate.edu/OneBook.

Parallel Justice redefines justice for victims of crime - Presentation and Book Signing. Free and open to the public. Limited seats available.
Date: Monday, April 11th, 2011

Duration: 3 hours
Location: Kahl Campus Center 224 - Albany Campus
Sponsored by: Sage College of Albany, Restorative Justice Commission of Albany, Family & Friends of Homicide Victims

This year more than 20 million Americans will become victims of crime. Very few will get the help they need to get their lives back on track. PARALLEL JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME presents a new approach, designed to help victims rebuild their lives – now being piloted from Vermont to California – by police chiefs, prosecutors, corrections officials, victim advocates and community leaders.
Drawing on more than 30 years of criminal justice experience, including almost 8 years as executive director of the National Center for Victims of Crime, author Susan Herman explains why justice for all requires more than holding offenders accountable – it means addressing victims' three basic needs: to be safe, to recover from the trauma of the crime, and regain control of their lives.
With guiding principles and practical examples of how to respond to victims of any kind of crime, PARALLEL JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME (published by the National Center for Victims of Crime) provides a roadmap for everyone who wants to pursue this new vision of justice.
Limited seats available, register today!

Lucky for Edna Murphey, people attending an exposition in Atlantic City during the summer of 1912 got hot and sweaty.
From This Story
Related Content
For two years, the high school student from Cincinnati had been trying unsuccessfully to promote an antiperspirant that her father, a surgeon, had invented to keep his hands sweat-free in the operating room.
Murphey had tried her dad's liquid antiperspirant in her armpits, discovered that it thwarted wetness and smell, named the antiperspirant Odorono (Odor? Oh No!) and decided to start a company.
But business didn't go well—initially—for this young entrepreneur. Borrowing $150 from her grandfather, she rented an office workshop but then had to move the operation to her parents' basement because her team of door-to-door saleswomen didn't pull in enough revenue. Murphey approached drugstore retailers who either refused to stock the product or who returned the bottles of Odorono back, unsold.
In the 1910s deodorants and antiperspirants were relatively new inventions. The first deodorant, which kills odor-producing bacteria, was called Mum and had been trademarked in 1888, while the first antiperspirant, which thwarts both sweat-production and bacterial growth, was called Everdry and launched in 1903.
But many people—if they had even heard of the anti-sweat toiletries—thought they were unnecessary, unhealthy or both.
"This was still very much a Victorian society," explains Juliann Silvulka, a 20th-century historian of American advertising at Waseda Univesity in Tokyo, Japan. "Nobody talked about perspiration, or any other bodily functions in public."
Instead, most people's solution to body odor was to wash regularly and then to overwhelm any emerging stink with perfume. Those concerned about sweat percolating through clothing wore dress shields, cotton or rubber pads placed in armpit areas which protected fabric from the floods of perspiration on a hot day.
Yet 100 years later, the deodorant and antiperspirant industry is worth $18 billion. The transformation from niche invention to a blockbuster product was in part kick-started by Murphey, whose nascent business was nearly a failure.
According to Odorono company files at Duke University, Edna Murphey's Odorono booth at the 1912 Atlantic City exposition initially appeared to be another bust for the product.

Since 1832, when Henry Newton and William Winsor introduced the first moist watercolors to the world, much of Winsor & Newton's reputation for supreme quality has stemmed from the Professional Watercolor range. More than 170 years later, the original Winsor & Newton moist watercolor continues to be formulated and manufactured according to the company's founding principles — to create an unparalleled watercolor range that offers artists the widest and most balanced choice of pigments with the greatest possible permanence.
Through strict adherence to these founding principles, Winsor & Newton has achieved brilliance, transparency, and purity of color unparalleled by any other watercolor. For the 21st century, these key qualities are achieved through a combination of choice of raw materials, custom-made machinery, and expert formulation by experienced chemists and artists who have spent their working lifetimes formulating Professional Watercolor.
Today, the Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor range benefits from continued advancements in pigment technology and production methods, building on the company's already high standards to produce even brighter, more transparent, and more stable colors. Equally important, many of the formulations remain the same — proving that they cannot be bettered!
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.
Shipping Note — Due to manufacturer distribution restrictions, Winsor & Newton products cannot be shipped to addresses outside of North America.
™ Winsor & Newton is a trademark. ™ Field Box is a trademark.
Formerly known and Winsor & Newton Artists' Watercolors, Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolors have a new name and new look, but their reliable quality remains unchanged.
During the transition in stock, you may receive a combination of new and old half pans. Rest assured, they both contain the same outstanding formulations you've come to know and trust.

46 U.S. Code § 3301 - Vessels subject to inspection
prev | next
The following categories of vessels are subject to inspection under this part:
Source(Pub. L. 98–89, Aug. 26, 1983, 97 Stat. 510; Pub. L. 98–364, title IV, § 402(2),July 17, 1984, 98 Stat. 445; Pub. L. 102–587, title V, § 5208(b),Nov. 4, 1992, 106 Stat. 5076; Pub. L. 104–324, title XI, § 1104(g),Oct. 19, 1996, 110 Stat. 3967; Pub. L. 108–293, title IV, § 415(a),Aug. 9, 2004, 118 Stat. 1047.)
|Revised section
|Source section (U.S. Code)
Section 3301 lists all classes of vessels that are subject to inspection and certification by the Coast Guard. This section represents one of the sought-after advantages of the bill to simplify access to the provisions of law governing the regulation of vessels. Under the present law, a vessel's inspection status must be determined by examining a table appearing at section 2.01–7A of title 46, Code of Federal Regulations that divides all vessels into more than 70 separate classes.
It is important to note that while the classes of vessels are now limited to ten, there is no prohibition against developing regulations to meet the special needs of various size vessels within any one category. For example, it is expected that the Coast Guard will continue the practice of establishing standards for freight vessels of not more than 100 gross tons and other standards for larger freight vessels.
It should also be noted that a particular vessel can, when engaged in various types of operations, be subject to varying inspection laws. For example, an offshore supply vessel could be classed as a small passenger vessel or a passenger vessel when it operates as a crew boat carrying individuals other than those defined in section 2101 (21). If the offshore supply vessel is 500 gross tons and over it would then be subject to inspection as a seagoing motor vessel, a freight vessel, or a passenger vessel.
2004—Par. (15). Pub. L. 108–293added par. (15).

Pilot Program
Pub. L. 105–383, title IV, § 412(b),Nov. 13, 1998, 112 Stat. 3432, provided that:
"(1) In general.—The Secretary may establish a pilot program to exempt a vessel of at least 300 gross tons as measured under chapter 143 or chapter 145 of title 46, United States Code, from the requirement to be inspected under section 3301 (7) of title 46, United States Code, as a seagoing motor vessel, if—
"(A) the vessel does not carry any cargo or passengers for hire;
"(B) the vessel does not engage in commercial service, commercial fisheries, or oceanographic research; and
"(C) the vessel does not engage in towing.
"(2) Expiration of authority.—The authority to grant the exemptions under this subsection expires 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act [Nov. 13, 1998]. Any specific exemptions granted under this subsection shall nonetheless remain in effect."

Pub. L. 104–324, title XI, § 1122,Oct. 19, 1996, 110 Stat. 3979, provided that:
"(a) In General.—The Secretary may enter into an agreement with the State under which the State may inspect small passenger vessels operating in waters of that State designated by the Secretary, if—
"(1) the State plan for the inspection of small passenger vessels meets such requirements as the Secretary may require to ensure the safety and operation of such vessels in accordance with the standards that would apply if the Coast Guard were inspecting such vessels; and
"(2) the State will provide such information obtained through the inspection program to the Secretary annually in such form and in such detail as the Secretary may require.
"(b) Fees.—The Secretary may adjust or waive the user fee imposed under section 3317 of title 46, United States Code, for the inspection of small passenger vessels inspected under the State program.
"(c) Termination.—The authority provided by subsection (a) terminates on December 31, 1999.
"(d) Definitions.—For purposes of this section—
"(1) Secretary.—The term 'Secretary' means the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating.
"(2) State.—The term 'State' means the State of Minnesota.
"(3) Small passenger vessel.—The term 'small passenger vessel' means a small passenger vessel (as defined in section 2101 (35) of title 46, United States Code) of not more than 40 feet overall in length."

Two Republican members of the University of Colorado Board of Regents are expected to ask their colleagues to support the right to carry concealed guns on the school's campuses.
The Daily Camera reports Jim Geddes of Sedalia and Sue Sharkey of Windsor are proposing a resolution saying "gun-free zones" leave law-abiding citizens vulnerable to harm.
The board is expected to vote on the measure in Colorado Springs on Wednesday or Thursday.
The Colorado Supreme Court has struck down CU's gun ban, sparking a backlash from several faculty members. And CU's student government supports a bill that seeks to once again ban guns in higher education buildings.
That bill received initial approval Friday in the state House on a voice vote but still must get a recorded vote before it can go to the Senate.

That sounds like it is a LOT of work you have in front of you, Vigilus. My suggestion (from a NON P-shopper) would be to place two marks (one in each corner across where two of your sheets meet) in a color that is NOT used in the map, and then scan them into PS. Once there you can use those marks to ensure that they are properly aligned. Once that is done I believe PS will allow you to select JUST that color and remove it. I believe that that should do it.
Maybe a 'shopper will be more specific, but in the meantime I believe that that should do it.

Creationist lawsuit against UC system criticized
"Seeing creation and evolution in Grand Canyon"
"Two groups examining the same evidence. Traveling nearly identical itineraries, snoozing under the same stars and bathing in the same chocolate-colored river. Yet, standing at opposite ends of the growing creation-evolution debate, they seemed to speak in different tongues."

"As an academic scientific community and a research extensive land-grant institution," he wrote, "we affirm scientific principles that are testable and anchored in evidence." Hence only evolution, and not supposed "alternatives" to it, are taught in the university's science classes, he explained.
