I've been making my own bread lately, in an effort to do more cooking from scratch. Bread, however, requires kneading — a skill many don't need anymore thanks to the bread aisle.
The other day I was making dough, and dumped the gloopy mess on the counter to "knead until elastic, about 10 minutes."
I set to it, molding the dough into a ball and then kneading with a motion of fold, push, fold, push, then add more flour to keep it from sticking.
My mind wanders during repetitive tasks such as this, and I remembered something from about five years ago when I took my first pottery class at Crossroads Art Center.
Pottery instructor LaVonne Kasper had brought a notice into the newspaper to announce a beginning class, and I'd always wanted to learn — I can't paint, so I thought I'd try playing with clay.
I signed up.
The class met for a month during January, a time when any pastime is welcome to fill those long, dark hours.
I was intimidated, to say the least, because I've never considered myself an artist in any sense of the word. (My sixth grade art pieces, however, are still favorites thanks to my teachers, Terri Axness and Brenda Johnson, two wonderful artists.)
But back to that pottery class.
We learned the basics about clay and made a little pinch pot by starting with a ball of clay we "pinched" into the shape of a bowl.
I still have that piece, and during the month discovered the wonderful way that working with clay can take all your cares away for a few hours.
Two months later I signed up for LaVonne's beginning wheel class and set about learning to use the potter's wheel.
But before throwing a pot, your clay must be of the right moisture level, which requires an action called wedging.
LaVonne taught us two techniques: one is a circular motion that creates a form resembling a sort of braid, and the other works the clay just like kneading bread dough and results in a form resembling the head of a mountain goat.
I never could master the braid motion, so instead settled into kneading the clay. (This is also a great stress reliever.)
Now, whenever I tackle a mass of bread dough and work it into the condition I need, I can't help but think back to that dark pottery studio where the scent of clay dust always tickled your nostrils.
Over the years I spent more time with LaVonne during open studio hours, and even joined a raku class at her home (this style involves a lot of fire and heat to create very cool metallic pieces).
My time with her was full of laughter, and she always asked about work and seemed truly interested in the stories I wrote.
Then the pottery studio closed due to a lack of fire exits, and my life got more complicated with getting married and then having a baby.
I saw LaVonne every once in a while, and last fall visited her home to do a story about her as a featured artist at Crossroads. It was my first day back to work after two months on maternity leave, and I brought my infant daughter along at LaVonne's request.
Two-month-olds are not known for patience, but I did my best to write as I rocked her infant seat.
LaVonne, with a smile, swooped my baby up in a maternal cuddle while never missing a beat in her story.
And that was LaVonne — a nurturing woman who cared so much about her family and friends.
(In the past 25 years, LaVonne and her husband, Aaron, have provided a home for 11 foster children, in addition to their own.)
And her art — in addition to working in her own studio, she taught classes at Crossroads and also spent more than 10 years with the artist-in-residence program to work in schools all around Eastern Oregon.
LaVonne died July 2 of a heart attack caused by a blood clot. She was 51.
In the past few years she and Terri Axness worked many hours to design the new pottery studio at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center — a space filled with light and new wheels, two kilns and a special glazing space.
The studio will be dedicated as the "LaVonne Kasper Memorial Studio" on Friday during the 10th annual Art at the Crossroads show.
As for me? I yearn to get back to pottery.
And, though I can't speak for all of her students, I know that whenever I sit down at a potter's wheel and begin modeling a ball of slick clay, I will think of LaVonne and hope my clay creations do my teacher proud.

Who Loves Profi-Birkis and Super-Birkis?
Folks in the medical and culinary professions love to wear Super-Birki and Profi-Birki clogs.
It's easy to see why. Remove the footbeds and you can wash the shoes in water at temperatures up to 140°F. The Profi-Birki's footbed, being constructed of EVA, is washable in water up to 86°F.
Recently the Profi-Birki with the Alpro-Foam soles received certified slip-resistant status. Just one more reason why kitchen staff love these clogs.
One issue that occasionally arises with both the Super-Birki or the Profi-Birki is the way they fit. Because they are constructed of polyurethane both clogs are designed to be generous. The generous fit allows for air flow around the foot. Since polyurethane is waterproof (which is great in a kitchen or operating room) is does not "breathe". That's the reason Birki's designed them with the generous fit. A tight fit would encourage your feet to sweat which could lead to the growth of fungus and development of bad odor.
Unfortunately the generous fit can make the clog feel "sloppy". One way to create a tighter fit with either the Super-Birki or Profi-Birki is to remove the footbed and insert a flat foam insole (like the inexpensive kind you can pick up at your local drug store). Place the Birki's insole back in overtop of the foam insole. The clog will fit tighter, but you'll still have enough "breathing room" to keep your feet healthy.
If you love the Super-Birki or Profi-Birki, you might want to check out the clogs by Alpro. They are also certified slip-resistant.

BOSTON (AP) - The woman who oversaw New England's tumultuous transition to a new fishery management system has resigned.
Jane Lubchenco announced Wednesday that she was stepping down as administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. She'll return to her West Coast home and the academic life.
The decision comes with New England's industry struggling to avoid collapse as fishermen face drastic catch reductions in 2013.
In a letter to employees, Lubchenco listed "ending over-fishing, rebuilding depleted stocks, and returning fishing to profitability" among NOAA's accomplishments.
But Sen. Scott Brown, who called for President Obama to fire Lubchenco in October 2011, said her tenure has been disastrous for New England fishermen. He called on the acting head of the U.S. Commerce Department to appoint someone who could end "this sad chapter of mismanagement."

Findings and Purpose
Pub. L. 106–309, title II, § 202,Oct. 17, 2000, 114 Stat. 1090, provided that:
"(a) Findings.—Congress finds the following:
"(1) Widespread corruption endangers the stability and security of societies, undermines democracy, and jeopardizes the social, political, and economic development of a society.
"(2) Corruption facilitates criminal activities, such as money laundering, hinders economic development, inflates the costs of doing business, and undermines the legitimacy of the government and public trust.
"(3) In January 1997 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution urging member states to carefully consider the problems posed by the international aspects of corrupt practices and to study appropriate legislative and regulatory measures to ensure the transparency and integrity of financial systems.
"(4) The United States was the first country to criminalize international bribery through the enactment of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 [Pub. L. 95–213, title I, see Tables for classification] and United States leadership was instrumental in the passage of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Convention on Combatting Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions.
"(5) The Vice President, at the Global Forum on Fighting Corruption in 1999, declared corruption to be a direct threat to the rule of law and the Secretary of State declared corruption to be a matter of profound political and social consequence for our efforts to strengthen democratic governments.
"(6) The Secretary of State, at the Inter-American Development Bank's annual meeting in March 2000, declared that despite certain economic achievements, democracy is being threatened as citizens grow weary of the corruption and favoritism of their official institutions and that efforts must be made to improve governance if respect for democratic institutions is to be regained.
"(7) In May 1996 the Organization of American States (OAS) adopted the Inter-American Convention Against Corruption requiring countries to provide various forms of international cooperation and assistance to facilitate the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of acts of corruption.
"(8) Independent media, committed to fighting corruption and trained in investigative journalism techniques, can both educate the public on the costs of corruption and act as a deterrent against corrupt officials.
"(9) Competent and independent judiciary, founded on a merit-based selection process and trained to enforce contracts and protect property rights, is critical for creating a predictable and consistent environment for transparency in legal procedures.
"(10) Independent and accountable legislatures, responsive political parties, and transparent electoral processes, in conjunction with professional, accountable, and transparent financial management and procurement policies and procedures, are essential to the promotion of good governance and to the combat of corruption.
"(11) Transparent business frameworks, including modern commercial codes and intellectual property rights, are vital to enhancing economic growth and decreasing corruption at all levels of society.
"(12) The United States should attempt to improve accountability in foreign countries, including by—
"(A) promoting transparency and accountability through support for independent media, promoting financial disclosure by public officials, political parties, and candidates for public office, open budgeting processes, adequate and effective internal control systems, suitable financial management systems, and financial and compliance reporting;
"(B) supporting the establishment of audit offices, inspectors general offices, third party monitoring of government procurement processes, and anti-corruption agencies;
"(C) promoting responsive, transparent, and accountable legislatures that ensure legislative oversight and whistle-blower protection;
"(D) promoting judicial reforms that criminalize corruption and promoting law enforcement that prosecutes corruption;
"(E) fostering business practices that promote transparent, ethical, and competitive behavior in the private sector through the development of an effective legal framework for commerce, including anti-bribery laws, commercial codes that incorporate international standards for business practices, and protection of intellectual property rights; and
"(F) promoting free and fair national, state, and local elections.
"(b) Purpose.—The purpose of this title [see Short Title of 2000 Amendments note set out under section 2151 of this title] is to ensure that United States assistance programs promote good governance by assisting other countries to combat corruption throughout society and to improve transparency and accountability at all levels of government and throughout the private sector."
Deadline for Initial Report
Pub. L. 106–309, title II, § 205(b),Oct. 17, 2000, 114 Stat. 1094, required transmission of the initial annual report under former 22 U.S.C. 2152c (d)(1) not later than 180 days after Oct. 17, 2000.

Jamie Monk at Jamie's Phuket has just posted a terrific review of our Travelfish Guide to Phuket. He has lived there for ages and reckons it's well worth a read, saying:
"So, I am happy to say that for under 5 US dollars you can buy a well researched, up to date, easy to use, recommended-by-Jamie guidebook for Phuket. Well, "book" is the wrong word. Actually you can buy a 37 page pdf file by making payment online and the "guidebook" can then be downloaded. And it's good. It knows things I don't know, it has reviews of guesthouses and hotels, it says this about Patong: "a seething mass of tourism, squalor and unrestricted development, a mess of hotels, bars, restaurants, travel agents, massage parlours, tailor shops and touts. Patong is everything that tourism in Thailand should not have become." Amen."
You can read the full review here: http://jamie-monk.blogspot.com/2009/03/travelfish-guide-to-phuket.html
So if you're thinking of going to Phuket do two things — first go check out Jamie's blog which is a veritable fountain of knowledge when it comes to Phuket, and then, once you're done there, please consider picking up a copy of our guide!

That's a nice piece of work. You mention the MapTool library, but what software did you use to make the map?
Hi everyone. I'm currently working on a D&D campaign using D&D4E and this is my first town map create for the campaign: Wintervale. For the terrain, I used tileable textures with cloud effect layered on top of it. For the buildings and objects, I used mainly MapTool's mapping objects (link) and some others found on the internet, and applied a black outer glow to them to mimic occlusion.
I tried to think of how the town people may live their daily lives there, then proceeded to layout the necessary buildings. Since Wintervale is pretty small for a town (more like a village), I'm in the process of developing he areas around Wintervale and its backstory fitting for the campaign. As for the town map, I believe it's pretty much done at the moment. Those interested in the campaign's continent map, here's the link.
Hope you will enjoy it.

Looks pretty good but you might want to reorient your little shacks in the top left...as currently situated the chimneys are where the front door would be. Otherwise I think it looks pretty good.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

@ Mark Olivia: Thanks. I used Photoshop to make the map.
@ Ascension: Ah, you're right. I didn't notice about the chimney until you mentioned. Thanks. I'll re-orient them to make the houses more believable.
This looks pretty nice - I feel sorry for the guards having to live in tents when everyone else seems to have a more permanent structure

I like it. I did wonder for a moment why the guards would be so far from the main entrance but it's not a big problem I guess.
I can totally see this being used for a gaming session. I might even use it myself, thanks for sharing

Nice map do you have an unlabeled copy ?
There may be a shadow issue as well. I am guessing the light is from the NE, nut the inn's shadows disagree (they look from the NW).
Also, the palisades looked like RR tracks to me at first... not sure, but I recall there was a map here with great ones the had more of a "coming out" look to them that you might be able to find.

Very pretty - I agree with Rob about the shadows - that's an inevitable result of using building tiles. Otherwise very nicely done.
A little careful use of a fuzzy brush and a dark blue/black on another layer should get your palisade looking a little pointier.
Thanks everyone for the comments.
@ Steel General: Haha. Good observation I setup the barracks next to the guard tents initially, but have updated it so the tents will belong to the market traders (with campfire and cooking pots) while the guards will have a permanent structure over their heads.
@ Jaxilon: I thought that maybe, if the town was raided by some orcs in the middle of the night, having the guard barracks next to the entrance would be the first thing that will be destroyed by the enemies. If that happens, the town will probably not survive the night. So I placed the barracks further from the entrance that the guards may have time to prep themselves. But you raised a good point. I should consider more when designing the next town. Thanks!
@ Xyll: Yep I've attached a slightly updated map without labels. Hope you find it useful.
@ RobA & torstan: Yeah, using building tiles seem to create that kind of shadow problems. I didn't really think much about it until you guys mentioned it. I'll be more careful with using map objects that are pre-lit. As for the palisade, that's the best tiling object I could find at that time And my friends agree too, saying they look more like RR tracks. I'll see what I can do to improve it.

Piplup (Japanese: ポッチャマ Pochama) is the Water-type Starter Pokémon of the Sinnoh region.
In Anime
Piplup made its debut in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Episode 1, Following A Maiden's Voyage!. In the episode, Piplup runs off on a chase with Chimchar, who stole Piplup's food, which caused it to become horribly upset. They run off into the woods and, at that very moment, Dawn comes into the lab, where she discovered that two of the starters ran off. With this and the fact that one of these Pokémon might be her choice, Dawn volunteers to help find Piplup and Chimchar. She soon finds Piplup. Piplup, however, is not as happy to see her. Then a swarm of Ariados storm in after Piplup hits its nest in the middle of hers and Dawn's fight. With quick thinking and help from Piplup's powerful Bide, Dawn manages to trick the Ariados away. But now, Piplup's hungry and Dawn just wasted most of her Pokémon food. But there were still two pieces left, which she gave to Piplup. At that moment Dawn befriended Piplup, and it was then that Dawn's adventure began. Piplup often shows its pride during the Anime by hitting its belly. Sometimes its arrogant behavior has caused troubles. Piplup learn a new move called Whirlpool and Dawn uses it in a Pokémon Contest, allowing her to pass the first round. Piplup is often seen resting on Dawn's shoulder or on her arms without going into its Poké Ball. Perhaps Dawn learned that Ash's Pikachu preferred not to be in its Poké Ball, so she also follows it. It could also be that Piplup, like Pikachu, just never liked being in its Poké Ball which is indicted by the way Dawn got it in the first place (because it left its Poké Ball).
In Game
It is one of the three Starter Pokémon that the player can choose between at Lake Verity from the Professors' briefcase in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and Pokemon Platinum. Also, in all three, you can breed the evolved form of Piplup, Prinplup, with a Ditto at the Day Care Center in Solaceon Town.

PHOENIX — The WNBA All-Star Game annually is snubbed by sports fans and sports media alike. Last Saturday's contest here unfortunately remains only a summertime favorite for those of us who do care. It was his first-ever All-Star Game, Earl Malloy told the MSR, admitting that his wife finally convinced him to join her in watching women's pro hoops. "I've been a season ticket holder since day one," added Carolyn Malloy, who also went to the 2000 game, the last time it was played in Phoenix. "The women players play a lot better than the men."
"I love it already," proclaimed Roosevelt Scott, a St. Continue Reading →

The establishment of the long awaited community financial institution for petty traders in Dar es Salaam commonly known as Machinga Bank will take more time due to among other reasons 'political interference'.
Speaking to The Guardian in Dar es Salaam over the weekend an official of the envisaged bank, Gaston Kikuwi said the institution has failed to kick off due to interference from some politicians for their own reasons.
"We had some politicians working with us in the initial steps of establishing the bank, but after achieving their objectives they are no longer with us," he noted.
He revealed that after a long delay, they had now come up with new plans to speed up establishment of the bank.
"We have formed a special committee of four people who would oversee action plan for the establishment of the bank," he said.
He said the committee has been given six months from February this year to accomplish the plan.
He said the committee will from next week start to review the initial draft which was completed last year.
It was earlier announced that the bank planned to raise money through selling shares to the public.
During the first phase they raised 90m/- out of the 250m/- needed to set up a community bank.
According to Kikuwi 50 percent of the shares were supposed be sold to the organisation, 40 percent to members while other individuals will be allocated 5 percent and 4 was for investors.
Experts say the establishment of the bank would help the increasing number of traders in Dar es Salaam by providing them with essential start-up capital. It is estimated that the region has over 100,000 petty traders.
The bank would provide loans at affordable terms for the petty traders.

I'm an engineer and I like playing the drums and mapping in my spare time. I started mapping for Q3A back in 2000, joined a Starship Troopers mod called Bug-Zone which sadly died quietly after 2 years of development. In 2005 I joined PadWorld Entertainment. There I managed to provide two maps, 'TrashMap' and 'FridgeWars, for the official stand alone release. Furthermore I write some tutorials for all interested mappers out there and I'm the responsible guy for the WoP beta-tests.
Some first screens from my map Kai's TrashMap adapted for the CTL game mode of World of Padman standalone game. I started developing a CTL version back in 2010 but was not satisfied. It took me another year and will be released with WoP 1.6.

It's best to bring humor out of tragic situations. Definitely not too soon.
There is nothing like having your windows rolled down all the way blasting OC Guns and you're singing it and kinda dancing to it waiting for the light to change and then you look over and see the car next to you is staring at you like you're insane.
I should try that.
Quand ils ont dis "Vous vous asseyez," je me suis levé.
CC (BIMT) sorry.
I actually like both because they have very catchy melodies and I can appreciate the irony in them making such songs. I prefer "OC Guns," mainly because of the wicked bassline, obviously. I also like the ska style it has. "Cruising California" is more poppish, which not only isn't my cup of tea, but I hate pop. "OC Guns" is at least a form of rock. It took me a while to warm up to the mariachi in it, but it's really a genius idea to combine ska with mariachi.
I said, "Hi, Greg. I'm the creepy girl." He chuckled, then wanted a handshake and I gave it. I wanted a hug and he gave it. One of his sons was there, too. Cute. Then Pete got him to autograph my sign for me because I was too polite to ask myself since he was on his way to eat. Pete also took this of photo of him holding it. - 8/2/2014.

51 weeks later
Well, it's been a long 51 weeks.
I've been off the blogging world for nearly a year, because I seem to have lost my password to log in to my own blog! Can you believe it? Yeah, I know, it's a pretty lame excuse, but I have been busy...
For starters, my wife and I have been building a house up here in the Golan and as you might imagine that can take up a wee bit of time. We're almost finished with the building so it's a pretty exciting time for us.
Then, this past May, I got a one of those crazy bugs in my mind: I decided to train for a marathon. Unfortunately, it has a sad ending. See, I've been training steadily and was working may way up for the January marathon in Tiberius, but last week I strained my knee. And today I went out for a light run, but my knee was still sore. To make a long story short, I don't have enough time now to recuperate and get up to the point where I need to be to run this marathon. Oh well, I'll stick to the running though (after my knee heals).
But at least I'm blogging again!
And for those of you who stumbled here to read what's going on in the Golan these days here is my take: the land is turning green after a long hot, dry summer. Nonetheless, we need a lot of rain as Israel is on the brink of one of it's worst water crises ever. Rain up in the Golan Heights would then, in turn, meander its way down the many Golan streams that fill the Kinneret.

I've never been able to make world machine work so I'm in the same boat.
Okay, don't know if this should be here or in software discussion, someone please correct me if i was wrong.
Anyway, I was boredly browsing through deviantART when I came across this map http://magbhitu.deviantart.com/art/B...-Map-151391127 . Once I was able to return my jaw to its natural raised and closed state I chased up on the program that was used to create it, found here world-machine.com . Upon downloading and opening the program I was instantly lost. Does anyone have any experience with this program that can help or does anyone know where some tutorials for this program can be found?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

Wow the results of the program look really juicy....must resist buying it...
Ok that's funny - that individual at deviant art favourited one of my maps last night, that's how I found the same one you did
I was thinking about taking a look at worldmachine, see what it does and if it's worth considering

"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
Guild member Vandy has a couple of threads using World Builder to make Sim City maps. The Splash Damage site has a tutorial on using World Builder to model flow on terrain. Which is way above my head.... makes me feel like I've got a kazoo in my hand and am looking at a full orchestral score for Beethoven's Fifth :-).
For those who can't afford mudbox or zbrush, I found this little toy. I'll try it out as soon as I can get Winders booted up.

I've been playing around with World Machine, but only trial version. I simply had no $$$ for the full one. But I must sadly admit that I didn't bury through WM enough to help anyone... and it was soooo long ago... I was still on Wingdows these times
Seriously, try reading the help, not just having a look at it. I remember that help files for World Machine were pretty well-written and thorough.
And have a look at Terragen. With this you can render the maps from WM in amazing quality (use Classic Terragen, 'cause with 2.0 anyone can get lost, I believe).

So were Oldham, so where Halifax, Leigh, Workington, Sheffield. I don't believe you support the promotion of aforementioned pathetic clubs (some if not all) back into SL.
The M.E.N. report was more than likely written/encouraged or assisted by Swanny.
And thank you for proving my point that it takes years to sort out. And most them clubs have dropped out of SL and been rebuilt and ran in a better way now than in SL. Whether them clubs are ready for SL is open to question. Likely not but then maybe its best not being in Super League running up big debts when you can make small profits and have success in the championship. SL is a utopia that is ruining clubs. But clowns like you think its so good for the game as a whole that SL is encouraging clubs to waste money. SL is where loads of money from the RFL has been thrown in to help poorly managed clubs. That money could have been better spent on development offficers and the like. I dont personally see how thats so good for the whole game. But keep dreaming away and twisting things to fit your own opinion
