I don't know whether you've noticed, but things seem to keep getting more complicated. Even simple things like watches are so complicated the universities are thinking about offering degrees in watch observation, which doesn't surprise me. Universities offer degrees in just about everything else, helping complicate education, along with watches.
Physicists now, instead of just studying physics, are studying parallel universes. They think that in some parallel universes there are people who look like us doing just what we are doing. In the parallel universe, for example, some guy could be writing a newspaper article just as I am right now, and the next day, somebody else reads it, just as you are doing right now. At least, I hope you are reading this.
But getting back to watches, Iam looking at an ad for the "Ball Official Standard RR Trainmaster Worldtime Chronograph Automatic — 42mm (The world's first day/date worldtime chronograph.)"
It has four dials and a daydate movement. It tells you what time it is in the Azores and in Georgia (the country, not the state). Besides having the chronograph display, it boasts accumulated time measurement up to 12 hours and self-powered micro gas lights. The watch's photo in the ad makes it look like it weighs about seven pounds.
I don't doubt it is a wonderful piece of machinery, but I don't think I would want it. When I look at my watch, all I want is to know what time it is where I am. Unless Ihappen to be in the Azores, Icouldn't care less what time it is there. What if I got the two times mixed up, and thought it was Azores time instead of Madera time? I would be either very early or very late to my next appointment.
Unless, of course, the appointment was in the parallel universe, where a person just as confused as I was would be early or late as well, and it wouldn't matter. Thank goodness science keeps us straight on these things.

So here we are, time for the next CG LITE Challenge. This month's 'theme' is temples. The challenge is to create a map of a temple or similar religious 'structure' (temple/cathedral floorplan, battlemap with a shrine to "Grumpax the Gregarious", etc.)
This is a pretty wide open challenge, if you have a question as to whether your map fits the criteria feel free to 'drop us a line'.
Please title your entry with the name of your map. Eg: Nov/Dec Lite Entry - Sunken Temple of the GOLDEN Gods
The contest will end on or about December 15th. We hope for a large turnout, so join in on the fun!

However, after hours on it I do get fanny fatigue. I have tried thick gel seats and don't like them. So lighter in weight but supportive for the long haul, any suggestions?

Kraft's Cadbury Bid To Loom Large Over Mandelson's Meeting With Top Investors
U.K. Business Secretary Peter Mandelson and other big hitters from the British government will be sitting down with top institutional investors Thursday and the topic of corporate takeovers is on the agenda.
The gathering comes amid Kraft's hostile bid for U.K.'s Cadbury, one of Britain's leading globally-competititve manufacturers.
Officials in Mandelson's department are insisting the Kraft bid is not on the menu and point out that invitations for the meeting went out as long ago as late November. They say the meeting aims to bring together investors and companies to explore ways to ensure better investor stewardship of companies.
But they acknowledge the issue of the Kraft bid may well come up in discussions and confirm that Keith Skeoch, chief executive of Standard Life Investments and a major Cadbury investor will attend. And a Business department spokeswoman says discussions will include how to ensure takeover decisions are taken to protect the long-term interests of U.K. companies.
Mandelson and his officials have been gradually upping the pressure over the Kraft bid for Cadbury's over the past couple of months, although they have fallen well short of outright opposition. (Mandelson has acknowledged the government have no statutory right to intervene in the bid).
The powerful Business secretary has warned that any buyout would have to respect the company's "workforce" and "heritage". He has also steered Kraft against trying to make a "quick buck."
With a general election due by June and with Mandelson promising a new "politics of production," even if the Kraft bid is not explicitly dicussed, its shadow–and the political imperative of avoiding more job losses in the U.K. manufacturing sector–will very likely loom large over the discussions.

Israel and Palestine, controversial foes, two peoples locked in an inescapable relationship. But can Israel be "the only democracy in the Middle East" when rights for Arabs in Israel and the occupied territories are unequal? The Friends Of Film Year-Round Festival and the Levantine Cultural Center present a one-night only screening of Roadmap to Apartheid, cosponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace-Los Angeles, on Thursday, Feb 7th, 2013 at the LCC at 7:30pm. Admission is $10/$7 members and students with ID.
About the Film
In this multi award-winning documentary, the first-time directors take a detailed look at the apartheid analogy commonly used to describe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Narrated by novelist-poet-activist Alice Walker (author of The Color Purple), Roadmap to Apartheid is as much a historical document of the rise and fall of
apartheid in South Africa, as it is a film about why many Palestinians feel they are living in an apartheid system today, and why an increasing number of people around the world agree with them.
While not perfect, the apartheid analogy is a useful framework by which to educate people on the complex issues facing Israelis and Palestinians. Our film delves into those issues, comparing the many similar laws and tools used by both Israel and apartheid-era South Africa. The audience will see what life is like for Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and inside Israel while gaining a deeper understanding of the conflict with the help of respected analysts on the subject. Combined with archival material and anecdotes from South Africans, the film forms a complete picture as to why the analogy is being used with increasing frequency and potency.

Article Date: 6/1/2013
There are many options available to you in terms of practice location. Before making this major life choice, think about the reasons to stay in your area versus the reasons to relocate.
1. You're known. If an established optometrist is looking for a new associate, a hometown kid is likely to be an attractive candidate. Not only will you attract new patients, you'll be recognizable to established patients. Additionally, if you decide to open your own practice, you're already known within the community, so you should bring in new patients quickly.
2. Giving back. Whether it's through teaching, volunteering our time, or sponsoring events, we have opportunities to give back to our communities. When you practice where you grew up, it's a chance to say thank you to those you know and make a positive professional impression on the whole community.
3. Easier to network. We all know people from the area where we grew up. Therefore, you may know someone who's looking to take on an associate or sell a practice. You may even get a jumpstart on an available position because you know the best person to contact.
4. Understanding the community's needs. As a local, you know the needs of the community. Use this knowledge to your advantage and find a niche in the optometry world. For example, if the area has a large elderly population, focus on geriatrics and low vision.
5. Knowledge of other professionals. Odds are you already know many physicians and specialists in your hometown. You'll likely end up referring to many of these professionals. Also, since you're a familiar face to your family physician, dentist, teachers and others, they're all potential referral sources for you.
1. Researching demographics. Do your own research to learn more about the areas you're considering for relocation, so you can make an educated decision based on the needs of certain communities. General demographics and other information can help you make a more informed choice, especially if you prefer a certain specialty. For example, if you enjoy vision therapy, which is a field largely made up of pediatric patients, look for an area with many young families.
2. Increased job opportunities. With an open mind about your future location, there are many more jobs available to you. When location isn't a top priority, you can be more selective about the practice you're joining.
3. Find a fresh start. A new job in a new town allows you to reinvent yourself. It can be difficult for people who watched you grow up to separate the high school kid down the street from the health professional you've become. In a new community, you'll be known for the professional you are today.
4. Freedom to roam. Flexibility in location will most likely be necessary if you're interested in becoming a faculty member at an optometry school or working for industry. If you're willing to move, it may be easier to pursue your dream job.
5. Change of scope. Since optometry is a legislated profession, our scope of work varies from state to state. Moving to states such as Oklahoma and Kentucky and passing their state boards would provide a wider scope of practice and more room to expand your horizons.
Weigh your options carefully before deciding whether it's time to build your nest near home or fl y to parts unknown. It's one of the most important decisions you'll make as a young professional. nOD

Cadbury says in a statement issued by its Singapore office that

It was not immediately clear if the tests revealed melamine, the

Second Witnesses property fetches $4.1M
Purchase price of the Brooklyn Heights carriage house seen as 9% below the asking level. Sales are from the group's 34-property, 3.2 million-square-foot portfolio in the area.Print Email Reprints Comment By Amanda Fung @amandafung January 11, 2012 1:37 p.m. in Share 2 10 Updated: January 11, 2012 3:39 p.m.
The second of eight Brooklyn Heights properties put up for sale last year by the Jehovah's Witnesses has sold for $4.1 million, just a month after the first of the properties was snapped up.
The two-story, 4,172-square-foot carriage house located at 165 Columbia Heights fetched just 9% less than its asking price, according to StreetEasy.com, which said the transaction closed on Jan. 10. Ellen Newman of The Corcoran Group was retained this summer by the Witnesses to market the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house and four others in Brooklyn Heights.
Ms. Newman confirmed the sale. She said the carriage house was bought by a couple from San Francisco, who plan to renovate the 112-year-old property,
A spokesman for the Witnesses said 165 Columbia Heights was used to house of members of their religious order and for parking. He declined to comment on the sale price or to reveal how much the Witnesses bought the property for nine years ago.
According to public record, the Witnesses had owned the house, which features arched windows and multiple skylights, since 2002. Like all the other properties owned by the Witnesses, the house was in pristine condition. The four other townhouses that Ms. Newman is marketing are not in contract, according to Streeteasy.com. However, the asking price for the four-story, two-unit townhouse with a total of 3,040 square feet at 34 Orange St., was dropped 7% to $3.25 million in November, according to Streeteasy.com. The asking price for the other properties—at 67 Remsen St., 76 Willow St. and 105 Willow St.—remain at $3.6 million each.
Last week, Massey Knakal Realty Services, the brokerage retained to sell three of the Witnesses' buildings, announced the sale of five-story, 20-unit 50 Orange St. for $7.1 million and noted that sale contracts for the two other properties at 183 Columbia Heights and 161 Columbia Heights in the neighborhood had been sent out.
The Jehovah's Witnesses, who have called Brooklyn their home since 1909, are the largest landlord in the Brooklyn Heights area. The group has accumulated 34 properties totaling 3.2 million square feet over the course of decades and created a self-sustaining community in the Brooklyn area.in Share 2 Read more: http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20120111/REAL_ESTATE/120119974#ixzz1jFkkJqq4

Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin now believes that Hamas has rockets capable of striking the Israeli population centers of Kiryat Gat and Ashdod. This confirms statements made by Hamas earlier this month in which they stated that 5 Israeli cities with a population of over 20,000 are at risk.
While the mainstream media downplays the strategic threat of these rocket attacks, the Jewish Policy Center seeks to stress the dangers of continued escalation. In our recent inFOCUS article with Israel's ambassador to Washington, Sallai Meridor stated, "If terror can hit enough times at the heart of your nation, the heart of your society, your central nervous system, and hit enough people, it may become existential."
To address this growing problem, the JPC launched Palestinian Rocket Report. PRR provides detailed and concise information about the Qassam rocket, along with the other rockets launched by the various jihadi groups against Israeli population centers, and the damage these rockets cause.
We encourage readers to check back daily for our news feed, which provides regular updates on news of Palestinian rocket attacks.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A new study shows that every $1 appropriated by the Legislature for higher education produces an extra $5.15 for Oklahoma's economy.
The analysis indicates that 23 percent of the state's economic activity is directly or indirectly generated from the campuses of colleges and universities.
The study was conducted for the state regents by Regional Economic Models Inc., a leading economic forecast company founded in 1980.
Oklahoma Higher Education Chancellor Glen Johnson says the report shows the higher education is invaluable to ensuring the state's economy remains strong.

Brazil: Free Speech in the Balance
Oct 2, 2012
By Johanna Mendelson Forman
Google's Chief Executive in Brazil, Fabio Jose Silva Coehlo, was arrested for refusing to remove a YouTube video that allegedly defamed someone who happened to be running for office. The judge who ordered the arrest said that by hosting the defamatory video the company was violating Brazil's electoral laws. Specifically, Section 243 makes said defamation a serious offense, punishable by fine and arrest. Shooting the messenger, though, does not solve the problem.
Democratic Brazil has antiquated internet laws that do not protect free speech, which is surprising, given the country's renown for being open and even tolerating the absurd. According to the Citizens Media Law Project, Brazilian courts have ordered more than 194 removals of offensive materials on the Google hosted website, more than any other country where the company operates. Unlike the U.S. or other Western states, Brazil has no safe harbor laws to protect internet service providers who host offensive material. This uncertainly leaves internet hosts at risk. When a company like Google carries a video, the producer is anonymous and thus it is the website that is exposed. (For the record, Google Brazil voluntarily removed the offensive video, "Innocence of Muslims," after the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.)
The video in question made references to a paternity suit lodged against a mayoral candidate in Sao Paulo. Judge Flavio Peren of Mato Grosso state opined that Google had committed the crime of disobeying election laws by refusing to take down the offending material. The judge added that the video violated the "dignity" of people running for office and even ordered the Google Website to shut down for 24 hours. What stands out is the election law's fuzzy definition of "defamation," which a judge can decide and is hard to reconcile with the modern political campaign environment, which typically subjects candidates to hard scrutiny.
Meanwhile, a double standard exists when it comes to so-called self-defamation. In October's municipal elections there are many candidates on official ballots for mayor or city council races that use such names as Batman, Daniel the Cuckold, or Wolverine. The use of such names could be a violation of copyright and trademarked property. Yet, no one has challenged these names on ballots, making a mockery of the electoral process.
Two changes would help Brazil's communication laws catch up to the times. An exception to defamation statutes for public figures (as in the United States) would keep candidates, especially powerful ones, from being excessively shielded from criticism. And a safe harbor law for internet service providers would reduce liability for what third parties post on their platforms. Without them, incidents like these will continue. For a country with 73 million computer users, a complete modernization of the cyberspace legal framework is long overdue. What is troubling is that the judiciary is being forced to choose between freedom of expression and an outdated law that turns democracy on its head.

Lava Fields by MartaNaelWatch

Great use of sfumato in the background! I really love the glow and detail on the jagged rocks in the front. Adding this to favourites.
The volcano looks like Mount Doom from Lord of the Rings. c8
Oh...my...Surt... This is super legit, words cannot describe the awe which has engulfed me. It reminds me of a Photoshop I did editing a picture of Mordor and making it even more fiery to represent a world I made up myself. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to conquer you.

"Asia, and Japan in particular, have had a big influence on my artwork. I have tremendous respect
for tradition in handmade paper and good quality (sic.)"
Pat Cook was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in the early 1950's. Living her life artistically has always been foremost
for her. After a competitive figure skating career as a teenager, Pat went on to work in professional "Ice Shows" through
her 20's working in a number of countries. This exposure to various cultures has often been noticed in her visual art.
There is an Asian feel and sensitivity imbued in her art.
She has studied at various schools such as the Oregon College of Art and Craft and the Banff School of Fine Arts. Primarily a
hand papermaker, Pat has focused lately on printmaking. Often pushing the boundaries of "flat wall art," her work can be
challenging. A particular favorite is the "Artist's Book." Handmade paper, collage, printmaking, sewing and painting may all
be used in one book! The spiritual side of Pat's life sometimes comes out in her layered artwork. Perhaps text in Japanese or
will be incorporated into a visually calming work of art. One comment often heard when visitors enter her studio is
"how beautiful and calm I feel here." The fact that there are floor to ceiling windows definitely brings the outdoors in!
There is the opportunity to come to her studio during the self guided "Stinking Fish Studio Tour" in East Sooke and
Metchosin each November.

Dustin Byfuglien assured a happy homecoming for coach Joel Quenneville when his second goal gave the Chicago Blackhawks a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night.
The Blackhawks snapped a four-game road winless streak and handed the Avs their first loss in five games at home. Chicago (14-6-2) hadn't won away from the United Center since Nov. 22 at Toronto.
Quenneville, jettisoned in the offseason after leading the Avs to a .579 winning percentage over the last three seasons, is 13-4-6 since taking over as Chicago's coach in mid-October.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shook hands and posed for photos with supporters at a private fund-raiser in Charlotte.
The former first lady was at the home of local businessman Johnny Taylor yesterday, where about 60 supporters paid 23-hundred dollars each. They dined on chicken Marsala during the two-hour event with Clinton, a senator from New York.
Taylor is senior vice president for global giant I-A-C--Inter-Active-Corporation. He wouldn't discuss the guest list and said he couldn't share what Clinton told supporters because he was sworn to secrecy.
Co-host Mark Erwin said last week that raising 150-thousand bdollars was the goal. The amount raised could --not-- be confirmed.

Electronic cigarettes have officially been banned at North Oldham High School, according to an email bulletin to parents Tuesday.
Principal Lisa Jarrett said "e-Cigs" have been a topic of discussion for about four weeks.
Jarrett was approached by a student and his parent about using electronic cigarettes in school as he attempts to quit smoking.
School officials talked to the district administration before giving the OK, but also established parameters for when it could be used, Jarrett said.

Konoha Crush (Arc)
this wiki
|This is the article on the story arc. If you are looking for the article on the actual invasion, head to Invasion of Konoha.
The Invasion of Konoha Arc was included in Part I of the series, and comprised chapters 115 to 138 of the manga and episodes 68 to 80 of the Naruto anime. The previous arc directly led into this one. This arc covered Gaara's change of heart towards people after battling Naruto, and the death of the Third Hokage at Orochimaru's hands. This arc is preceded by the Chūnin Exam Arc and is followed by the Search for Tsunade Arc.
The Third Hokage vs. Orochimaru
Three giant snakes were summoned, and broke down the walls guarding Konoha before proceeding to wreak havoc on the village. Meanwhile, approximately one-hundred and twenty Suna and Oto ninja invaded the village. Suna had joined the attack because their daimyō had mistreated their village and had showed favour towards Konoha; this attack was to show that Sunagakure didn't appreciate being treated as second-rate in their own country.
Meanwhile, Orochimaru began to fight the Third Hokage. Orochimaru revealed his secret: he had created a ninjutsu to grant him immortality. Orochimaru's spirit was able to live forever, but he must change bodies frequently. Orochimaru had also mastered Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, which allowed him to summon the souls of the first two Hokage at the cost of sacrificing the two remaining genin of Team Dosu. It appeared that the Third managed to stop the third coffin, containing the Fourth Hokage, from being summoned. Sarutobi then used the Summoning Technique to summon Monkey King: Enma.
The summoned Hokage, although perfect in form to the original and retaining all their abilities, had lost their personalities, and were merely Orochimaru's slaves. They couldn't be killed, since their bodies simply regenerated. The Third realised that he must do something about their souls, and used Dead Demon Consuming Seal, the same technique the Fourth Hokage had used to seal the Nine-Tails. Sarutobi was able to sacrifice two Shadow Clones to seal away the souls of the two Hokage, and then attempted to do the same to Orochimaru. However, Sarutobi was low on chakra and stamina, and thus was reduced to doing the next best thing: sealing away Orochimaru's arms, so that Orochimaru would be unable to perform any more techniques. The Third died with a smile on his face.
Naruto vs. Gaara
Initially, Sasuke was sent after Gaara by Genma. Sakura, Shikamaru and Naruto followed Temari and Kankurō, who had been charged with protecting Gaara while he recovered from his battle with Sasuke. It was later revealed that Shino also chased after them, claiming that even though the exams had been disrupted, he still wanted to have his battle with Kankurō. Shikamaru fell behind to stop nine Sound Village jōnin from following them, although he was low on chakra from his own match. His Sensei, Asuma, arrived just in time to save his life.
In the anime, Temari set traps in order to deter Sasuke before engaging him in combat herself.
Kankurō stopped to fight Sasuke, giving Gaara enough time to recover. Shino, however, declared that Kankurō was his opponent. Shino was able to defeat Kankurō by placing a female insect on him. The scent of this insect attracted all of Shino's other insects, which then overpowered Kankurō. Shino was rendered unconscious after being poisoned earlier in the fight, until his father came to his aid to counteract the poison. Finally, Sasuke caught up with and fought Gaara. Gaara began to transform into his Shukaku state, overpowering Sasuke with ease.
Naruto and Sakura arrived just as Sasuke was about to be killed. Gaara continued to attack Sasuke until Sakura placed her own body between them. Furious, Gaara pinned her to a tree with one of his sand claws, and proceeded to taunt Naruto. He stated that unless he was defeated, Sakura would soon be crushed by the force of the sand binding her to the trunk.
Naruto was clearly outmatched at first, but as the battle continued, he gained the upper had by employing a clever series of tactics taught to him by both Kakashi Hatake and Jiraiya. He used One Thousand Years of Death to injure the partly transformed Gaara, preventing him from moving while Naruto attacked him with clones. Enraged that he had succumbed to Naruto's assault, Gaara took on his full Jinchuriki form and attempted to finish Naruto off with his Sand Binding Coffin and Sand Waterfall Funeral techniques. Naruto managed to free himself from Gaara's jutsu by summoning Gamabunta, who, after a little convincing from his son, Gamakichi, decided to fight Shukaku.
Gaara then used his Feigning Sleep Technique to call out Shukaku's true consciousness. Gamabunta, unable to match Shukaku's might, told Naruto that he would have to wake Gaara up in order to dispel the jutsu. Using a Combination Transformation technique, Naruto transformed Gamabunta into a giant fox (the Nine-Tails itself in the anime). In that form, Gamabunta was able to dig his claws into Shukaku long enough for Naruto to punch Gaara awake. Angered, Gaara once more attempted to trap Naruto with his Sand Bunding Coffin. Gamabunta tried to help by concealing Naruto with his tongue, but Gaara was able to get to him from below. In the end, Naruto escaped by using the Nine-Tails' chakra. Free, he launched himself at Gaara once more, and unable to strike him with his fist, opted to head-butt him instead. Both injured, blood trickling down their foreheads, Gaara's sand crumbled away around them.
With that, Gaara and Naruto only had enough chakra for one last attack. They leaped at each other; Naruto's will won and Gaara was knocked to the ground. Unable to walk, Naruto began to crawl to Gaara's side. At that moment, Gaara realized that they were very similar; they both were the containers of monsters, both had been ostracized by the people of their village, and had led unhappy, lonely lives as a result. Gaara wondered what made him so strong, and Naruto explained that although he was able to empathize with Gaara, he would never let him hurt the people who had saved him from the hell of loneliness. As Naruto continued to crawl, a recovered Sasuke dropped down beside him, informing him that Sakura was free from Gaara's sand. Temari and Kankurō landed near Gaara; although they were prepared to fight Sasuke again, Gaara shocked everyone by saying that it was over. In agreement, Gaara's siblings carried him away. Naruto watched them go, and then with a smile on his face, fell asleep.
In the end, what enabled Naruto to triumph was his undying devotion to those closest to him. His loyalty was much more powerful than Gaara's hatred ever could have been. After the battle, Gaara apologized to his brother and sister, wondering whether he could be important to people someday.
Also, as Gaara had been an opponent that Sasuke could not face equally, Naruto's role in his rivalry against Sasuke was altered. His victory induced deep feelings of inferiority in Sasuke, despite the façade he continued to maintain. Later, a funeral was held in memory of the Third Hokage.
The invasion was called off, as Orochimaru was unable to use any more techniques, and the Suna and Oto shinobi retreated. The surviving Suna ninja also discovered the body of their leader, the Fourth Kazekage, and realised that Orochimaru had murdered him and disguised himself as the Kazekage, thereby playing both sides of the alliance he had created, which resulted in their reestablishing their alliance with Konoha.

Good luck and more power to you.
Or this can be titled "One World, One Random number sequence".
The world of Metaphaze II: Avalon began as a MapMaker map that grew and grew and grew, but wasn't able to generate the detail maps I needed for my world.
The first rendition of a programmed world came about through using Javascript and a 1/0 bitmap of the country maps. The JavaScript generated all the terrain, the rivers and regions. It worked very well for each country, but failed in blending the edges of each country into the adjacent ones. Moving to a world map, JavaScript just plain bogged down taking really long times to do basic things like loading the 1/0 bitmap. The first two attached maps show what this looked like.
So, along came Pascal, something I learned back in college and that I could find a cool compiler online. So, recoding all my routines into Pascal, I generated an entire world's rivers, counties, districts, regions in a fraction of the time it takes JavaScript to load.
The maps that come out are quite detailed... I've attached some samples for one of the countries. The last three attached maps show the green country map overlaid with the rivers generated, a county map and a district map.
One of the interesting facets of creating maps this way is you don't realize the detail that comes about when you show how every cell drains via its rivers. I added a sliding scale to eliminate some of these tributaries to clear up the map.
The second thing you realize is that when people create a rudimentary RPG world, it is highly generalized. My first run of my program creating rivers resulted in over 1 million river names. Likewise, with 75 countries, there were over 90,000 counties, almost 10,000 districts and 3,000 regions. The original 1/0 map was exploded from a 180x600 map where each cell was 25x25 kms to a map 1,800x6,000 containing 10 million cells, each 2.5x2.5 kms in size.
The goal of this project is to generate via code everything from the world, all the way down to the different details in each location....
-- Regions
--- Districts
---- Counties
----- Cities, towns, villages, castles, temples, churches, ruins, and dungeons.
When completed, the estimate is a web-site with more than 250,000 maps and more than 1 million pages.
Good luck and more power to you.
Dollhouse Syndrome = The temptation to turn a map into a picture, obscuring the goal of the image with the appeal of cute, or simply available, parts. Maps have clarity through simplification.
--- Sigurd
You have a good start on your project there. It will be fascinating to see how it progresses. Theres a few of us here who make procedural terrain and its great to see how other people tackle the problems of it.
Theres some sample name generators on here if you dig about tho they were in Python and Perl if I remember correctly. Never known anyone do Pascal - bit before my time I think ! But it can be a faster language than Java.
How are you planning to make it realistic in terms of modeling the world physics above the rivers and the names being random. Is there some phonetic stuff going on ? Theres lots to think about - such a big and ambitious project. Keep posting as you make progress.

This is a highly complex project. It is hard to describe it entirely in a few paragraphs that people will tend to glaze over reading. It evolved from the concept that to "zoom" into a higher detailed map for any region you've created in your world map. Taking a world map and zooming to 75 countries, you've now got to create 75 more maps... If you then go to regional maps, in my world, that's another 3,000 maps... I'm tired already and all I've gotten done is the world map. I'm certainly not going to do the 95,000 county maps or the 3,000 city maps.
My gazette database has more than 35,000 world names. I have a prefix file with 199 entries and a suffix file with 319 entries that add items to the gazette entries to make other versions of these names. Just these three files can generate almost 2 million unique names. In addition, I have 10 translation modules that regionalize the names into other unique and quite interesting names. These are keyed to the country indexes and I can select which translator is used for which countries.
The current challenges I'm working on resolving now are:
1) What to generate for a region page (other than a map)...
2) What to generate for a district page (ditto)
3) What to generate for a county page (ditto)
For these pages, I'm considering a subtle map difference at each level to differentiate each level from the others. So, at the country and region level, the maps will be like those I posted above... as you zoom into the district and county levels, they take on a more parchment/drawn look to them. In all of these instances, I have to use my pascal program to generate the map graphics. In addition, I'll have to figure out what layers I want to be able to combine to create information zooms. (See #5 below)
4) What to generate for a city page... currently, I've been examining the Medieval Demographics document by Ross and found it only generated "jobs" for 7% of the cities population. I've now got a table of jobs and percentage allocations for 100% of the humanoids in the city. I've come up with conditionals for things like sailors who can be found in large numbers in a port city, but not so many in an inland city.
5) The main engine for the world is wikimedia, with openlayers and several other products that build functionality. The challenge is what to import into the wiki and what to link to as dynamic pages. Where each of these transitions and how it looks in the wiki are challenges as well. A good example is the heraldry javascript that is used in the wiki now. I can call the routine with any key and generate the heraldic device to be displayed on the page as well as what size to display it as.
See: http://www.metaphaze.com/AvalonWikia...lazon/Heraldry
6) Openlayers is a wonderful API for displaying maps on the web. You can use it natively in your own web pages or as I do in the wiki. It manages your layers and all of the zoom and navigation of the map. You do not have to code anything for these features. This allows you to concentrate on generating the map images. When combined with the wiki and semantic layers, you can display data from other pages in pop-up windows on your maps...
See: http://www.metaphaze.com/AvalonWikia...itle=AvalonMap
The displayed icons actually pull the data that is displayed on them from the associated page for that country.
In addition, the semantic layers allows queries to be built on pages so that you can do things like display regions on a country page, or districts on the region page... or anything you'd like to pull and display.
The unique mix of graphical maps with automated information retrieval creates a very interesting level of cartography that can be explored in different ways than static maps allow.
Interesting and ambitious project (and I thought PASCAL was dead), good luck and looking forward to see how things go.

Cool. Yes very ambitious.
I would recommend having a look at our CWBP community world building project as well as the links in my sig tho.
The CWBP being a tile based world with maps from world to battlemap and being hosted via a wiki sounds similar.
This line:
I agree with very much though, surprisingly, it has not been something that many people have bought into very strongly.The unique mix of graphical maps with automated information retrieval creates a very interesting level of cartography that can be explored in different ways than static maps allow.

While some supporters may demand his sacking, based on the BHA verdict, I wonder whether the testing of evidence in their enquiry is as strong as that demanded by criminal proceedings? Of course, it is an embarrassment for the club and it will be interesting to see what line the CEOowner take. The reputation of the club has been progressively damaged over the past 5 years or so and this adds to the litany of problems stemming from less than able managment, both on and off the field. I exempt MM from that judgement as, so far, in my view he has done well with limited and largely short-term resources.

Braunstein On Demand
I just found out that Major Wesely is coming to GenCon, but he doesn't have any sessions scheduled this year. But I have it on good authority that if people are interested, he's willing to get together for ad hoc sessions.
Do you want a chance to play Braunstein, the grandfather of all roleplaying games? Do you want to grill him about what it was like gaming with Dave Arneson, before Blackmoor and before D&D? Do you want to hear about antiaircraft artillery in WWII or soldier's wives in the Revolutionary War?
Speak up and let him know. He's probably reading this thread right now, so this is your chance.

A man was
photobombed trampled while trying to take a selfie of a raging bull at the Fetes de Bayonne festival.
The bull was menacingly running around a few feet behind the man who was desperately trying to get a selfie shot of himself and the angry horned animal.
The best thing about this story is that it was caught on camera for all to see. Don't worry, there's no blood but the bloke in question is clearly caught off guard (how that is possible, I'm not sure) and trampled by the animal.
All in the name of Instagram.

According to ESRB, this game contains: Violence
Parents should know that MMX6 holds no content of a sexual nature nor does it present any form of harsh language, two elements commonly seen in video games nowadays. Also, aside from X shooting robot enemies, the game contains no excessive amounts of violence. Those who are searching for a game that will hold their children's attention for some time will have to look elsewhere. The frustratingly high level of difficulty the game presents will force many players to become uninterested fairly quickly.
Mega Man fans may want to rent this title just for the sake of trying it out, however I highly recommend against buying this game, as it is simply not worth its price.
Those who enjoy 2D platformers will want to avoid this title altogether. If there were any justice, this game would already find its rightful place in bargain bins.

- You may be looking for Kalto Province.
Kal-toh is a Vulcan game of intense strategy that can be played solitarily or by multiple individuals. The object of kal-toh, as stated by Tuvok, "Is not about striving for balance but about finding the seeds of order even in the midst of profound chaos." A kal-toh set consists of a number of playing rods called t'an.
When described by Harry Kim to an amnesic Tuvok, he said "The object of the game was to turn this jumble of rods into a perfect sphere", and that each player takes turns to position pieces, the one managing to form the final intended shape winning. (VOY: "Riddles")
When Harry Kim referred to kal-toh as "Vulcan chess", Tuvok commented that, "Kal-toh is to chess as chess is to tic-tac-toe." (VOY: "Alter Ego")
In a holodeck simulation created by The Doctor that included numerous historical figures, the holograms of Socrates and T'Pau played kal-toh together. (VOY: "Darkling")
During a game played by Tuvok and Harry Kim, Seven of Nine took a turn for Harry and beat Tuvok in one move, claiming she used elementary spatial harmonics to do so. (VOY: "The Omega Directive")
Tuvok, Icheb and Harry Kim often had a match of kal-toh together. Icheb was quite talented with the game. (VOY: "Endgame")
- In an alternate timeline, Captain Harry Kim kept a kal-toh game in his ready room aboard the USS Rhode Island. (VOY: "Endgame")

A real taste of summer is coming to North Carolina this weekend. Many folks would argue that its about time since March was a cool month and temperatures so far in April have been about 1 degree below normal. The past few days have seen temperatures on a roller coaster ride with highs on Wednesday only reaching the lower 60s. The warm-up will start Thursday afternoon as temperatures reach the lower to middle 70s, except upper 60s along the beaches. Temperatures could surge to 80° by Friday afternoon and into the middle to upper 80s this weekend. It will definitely be the warmest weekend so far this year and most of us will welcome it. Skies remain sunny with little chance for rain until the middle of next week.

Sweden's Crown Princess Makes Surprise Appearance for Gay Of The Year
Jim Burroway
February 6th, 2013
That has to be one of the gayest headlines I've ever written. The fun doesn't stop there:
Princess Victoria presented the Gay of the Year award to an author who wrote about the 1980s AIDS crisis.
Taking to the stage to ABBA's Dancing Queen, the 35-year-old, presented the award to Jonas Gardell, whose book and TV series, Never Dry Tears Without Gloves, sparked debate on the treatment of gay men during the onset of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
Her surprise appearance earned her a standing ovation.
The book's title refers to the instructions given to a nurse as she wiped tears off a dying man's face. When it was published, is set off a wave of soul-searching in a country which prides itself on its tolerance and compassion.

What Is the Difference Between a Babysitter and a Nanny?
Part-time nanny, live-in nanny, mother's helper. There are endless caregiver names posted all over caregiving websites (like Care.com!). It can be confusing for both families looking to hire a sitter and caregivers searching for jobs. Here's a look at how we would define the roles.
Watch the video and read the tips below to learn the diffrences between nannies, part-time nannies and babysitters.
But no matter what name you choose, one thing remains the same -- caregivers have the great responsibility of supervising children in a way that is healthy and safe. And hopefully everyone has fun in the process.
What Is a Babysitter?
Generally, babysitters care for children of any age who are in need of supervision for a few short hours. Most sitters will work either by specific occasion or on a regular schedule (after-school babysitters, date night babysitters and weekend babysitters are common). Their main tasks are watching the kids, playing with them and maybe putting them to bed. Many babysitters are trained in basic skills like CPR and first aid. They usually work for hourly rates, but may be paid extra if they agree to handle additional services such as cooking, tutoring and light housekeeping. It's important to discuss expectations for the job during the interview process.
What Is a Nanny?
A nanny is someone who is fully invested in a child's development and well-being. Generally, a nanny will care for children full-time while both parents work. It's a nanny's responsibility to create daily schedules and engage in activities to ensure healthy mental, physical and emotional growth in the children they care for. Most nannies will be tasked with preparing meals, helping with household work (dishes, laundry, etc.), driving the children to and from activities and assisting with homework.
Many nannies have their own place of residence (and are called live-out nannies), but there are some nannies who live with the family (called live-in nannies or au pairs). To learn more, read All About Au Pairs
Typically, nannies have more responsibilities and duties than a babysitter does (and, because of that, a bigger salary). In addition to basic safety classes, they may have had advanced child care training or many years of nanny experience. Often, nannies earn a weekly salary (based on hourly expectations), have taxes deducted from their paychecks and work year-round for a family. It's expected that nannies receive at least two weeks of paid vacation and earn holiday pay as well.
Nannies often become part of the family, bonding with the children in a different way than parents do. Sure, nothing can replace Mom or Dad, but children will bond with that special someone who sings with them at music class, teaches them to use the potty and drives them to and from soccer practice. Some families consider their nannies co-parents or partners in parenting, getting info from their nannies on their child's development and interests or asking their nannies to help their kids cope with losses and stress.
Because the job of a nanny is much like that of a parent, most families and nannies work together to create a nanny contract that lays out all terms and conditions of the job, including vacation time, sick days and much more. To learn more about what's included in nanny contracts, read Do You Need a Nanny Contract?
What Is a Part-Time Nanny?
Some families need a mix of babysitter and nanny. They need someone to care for their kids a few hours a week (maybe only Monday through Wednesday or only after school). But they want a caregiver who will be more involved that a typical babysitter. A part-time nanny is usually the answer. This option can provide the best of both worlds for families trying to juggle responsibilities.
Tiffany Smith is the senior associate editor here at Care.com. She has written for All You, Time for Kids and the Boston Globe. And as a former babysitter, she knows a lot about fun games to play with kids. Getting them to eat their veggies -- that's a different story! Follow her on Twitter at @tiffanyiswrite.
I charge a lot for my time as a nanny because I feel like I do a lot more than a lot of nannies. I do not put on the TV, allow video/computer games, I try to only let young children play with toys that do not need batteries (unless it is musical), I plan art activities, I research gross and fine motor skill activities, and I also read up on any developmental/educational/ parenting theorists books. I test healthy recipes at home that I will take to work for the kids to try, and if they like them I add it to our rotation at their house. I also make sure parents know that Sunday-Thursday nights I go to bed early, and do not consume alcohol so that I am feeling my best when watching their child for 10 hours a day. I do not feel entitled to my asking salary, I feel like I am giving the family what their children deserve from a care provider.
Best of luck to you guys and have a prosperous and productive New Year.
A nanny in general is as the article said is "a co parent". It is a complex and tenacious roll that carries a great amount of responsibility with it. The parents and nanny almost need to have the same out look on life and have similar beliefs and background because that nanny is for the most part has a large part in raising the children that they look after. I even would go so far as to say it is an excellent way for a young woman to know if motherhood is for her or not.
As I said in the beginning of my comment, I read this article to affirm what I already knew about the differences in these rolls. Might I add that there are similarities and subtle nuances as well. For instance a baby sitter and a nanny should both have a responsibility to discipline a child especially if the child is doing something harmful or dangerous. Feeding the child,that's a no brained. Explaining things when the child asks a question, ummm yhea,by all means please do,but don't explain if you don't know. So, I feel these are a few similarities between the rolls. I mean, if I leave my one and only thing I live for in your care you better treat that child to your best ability,no,...you better care for my child as if your life depended on it.
I digress . I'll be back to give my initial comment. Motherhood calls internet needs to be put in hold.
And to respond to those Nannies allowing themselves to be called babysitters, it comes down to this. Almost anyone can babysit. It takes a special person to be a nanny and do it well. I have had a babysitter for my own children before. You get what you pay for. If you want someone to really be invested in caring for your child and additional duties around the home than you should be willing to pay for it.

Bestplace I found was the N-S gravel road about a mile or so to the west. It is a concrete trail all the way there.

If you miss the gravel road, the bridge is about 2.5 miles from both Madrid and Woodward, and is paved the entire way. It's flat and decently protected from wind.

My pregnant wife and I are gonna walk it, so I'd like to park within a mile or less of it. I heard QF lane road at he East side is a half mile from the bridge, so that might be my best bet.
if you have to walk its ~ 1 mile away... there are convenient trailheads in Madrid & Woodward but those are both farther than the gravel road mentioned above...
At night its sick, sunset would be a great time to go as well

That is our goal for tonight. I'll see if she's up for walking a mile or not.

How can I get my husband to change stinky diapers?
My husband practically vomits if he has to smell or look at our son's dirty diapers. I've been nice about it and tried to encourage him, but now I'm just mad. Is this a normal man thing or is my husband a spoiled, immature brat?

Certain sensory input just makes people want to throw up. For your husband, maybe it's poopy diapers. Before my husband and I had children, he protested that he would not change poopy diapers because the smell of feces made him want to throw up. I started easing him into the fact that he WOULD be responsible for SOME of the diapers. Our baby is breastfed, so maybe that helps. The poops of breastfed babies doesn't stink--or at least I haven't noticed any strong unpleasant odor. There have been times that my little one poops and I go, "Uh-oh, daddy. Outta the way, we have a poop emergency." and he will say, "Oh, I'll take care of it." So I dunno... just make sure that this is an actual physiological reaction and not just your husband trying to weasel his way out of the dirty work. :)posted 05/23/2004 by BabyElShami
It's a normal person thing, but most of us have to overcome it! When you say he almost vomits, do you mean that he's just exaggerating normal disgust? If he were caring for your son by himself, would he refuse to change the diaper at all? If so, then that's really bad. He needs to know that poop staying against a baby's skin is VERY BAD NEWS. No matter how nasty it smells, just leaving it is MUCH worse for the baby than changing it is for the parent. It can cause blisters and awful raw skin if it's left too long. If he just doesn't like poopy diapers and tries to avoid it when you're around, well, that's immature but not terrible. I'd say just give him the facts and then tell him it's his turn. Leave the house if you have to. If he's sincerely phobic about poop to the point that it makes him physically throw up but he will do other grunt work with the baby... I'd say let it go.posted 05/23/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Your husband is being selfish! He helped make this baby and than when things get a little stinky (literally) he bails. I know I wouldn't put up with it. My husband and I believe in equal opportunities, whether its changing a dirty diaper or any other matter. I don't know, maybe I'm just lucky with my husband, but you should tell him to quit whining and do it!posted 05/23/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
My husband had the same problem and still ocassionally will do the dry heave thing and pass it off onto me. I think it is a "guy" thing. Not that its right, but they definately have to develop a "backbone" for it. My husband to this day with 2 babies later and one on the way, will act like its the grossest stuff he's ever smelled, seen, and can't believe babies make it. But he has gotten used to it. So all I have to offer is give him some time... And make him change the diaper anyway.posted 05/23/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Although everyone has a different level of being grossed out, baby poop is baby poop- I think that your husband is being childish!!posted 05/23/2004 by ophelia_1
i have 2 comments about this. first off, i used to work in a daycare and the owner (a man) has a real problem w/ the smell of dirty diapers. lol he could smell one from a mile away and it would make him gag! actually any nasty smell (rotted fish, stinky trash, dead things, etc)would get him lol. so it's not just your hubby who does this. secondly: i worked at this daycare while i was pregnant w/ my son, and prior to being pregnant, i had developed the ability to block out smells while changing nasty diapers. while i was pregnant though, i spent more time hanging my head out the bathroom door than actually changing the diaper! i gagging from the smell almost worse than my boss! i solved the problem by getting swimmers nose plugs and keeping them around my neck all day lol. my co-workers laughed, but understood. i may have looked a little silly, but it worked great lol.posted 05/23/2004 by mamalynn89
My husband always sneaks out of the room as soon as it seems like there might be a messy diaper on the horizon. At first, I felt like he should share equally in the chores since we are both working full time. I felt disrespected and didn't think it was fair for me to have to change ALL the diapers. Now, I focus on what's right with what he's doing: spending a lot of time each day cuddling and playing with our son. I don't mind changing diapers and he apparently can't stand it so it's not a battle I'm going to fight. I've tried to figure out what he doesn't mind doing (like filling up the baby tub, taking care of the laundry, running to the store, etc) and gotten him to do more of those things. I've learned that I can't change him, especially by trying to get him to do things he doesn't want to do. My dad left my mom when I was very little and she had no one to help her with anything at all. I would have loved to have a dad to play with and cuddle me.posted 05/23/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
