Diamond- 8-03-2013
Gold- 10-13-2015
We're doing some minor repairs to our house to get it ready to list (re-caulking the tub, touching up paint, organizing closets, that kind of stuff). We went to Home Depot and the total was under $100 for everything. Hopefully we can get it all done this weekend and get this house listed and sold!
SAH, Homeschooling Momma to two amazing little boys.
Doing a cake smash session today...making $50
Going to stock up at Costco because it is the first of the month
Selling Girl Scout cookies...free!
Maybe lunch at Chick Fil A because we haven't eaten out in a while
SuperBowl party...bringing some yummy food so that will cost a little
Sarah, mom to 3 girls
Come to We're Debt Free!
$39K in 18 months. We are DEBT FREE!!!
DH will be working on finishing up our bathroom (installing the thing around the bathtub, hooking up sink, etc) and I think we have everything we need, so no additional expense.
I am going to the $1 Store to pick up some craft supplies and other items that I can only get there- hoping to keep the total around $30.00.
Happy weekend everyone! :)
Z (platinum) and A's (diamond) momma. Holistic student, part-time banker/SAHM, Canadian.
BS 3! Visit 'We Are Debt Free' and change your life!
Free entry into a Craftapalooza show. (If I don't buy anything it will be free)
Lunch out on Sat. so maybe $30 at the most
Mother of one Kindergarten Son,
MC on Sept 6 at 6wks.
Tonight there is nothing planned.. other than dusting ..WOMP!
Sautrday night is a splurge day which I have planned for since November.. It's DH 30th bday we are going to a nice sushi restaurant..probably about $75 bucks.. then off to a bar for drinks with our closest friends.. probably $100
Sunday hosting super bowl party that I have bought all of the things I will be providing.. $40 and all the guest will bring their own beer and a finger food.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Going knitting with a couple friends an hour away (sucks living in another city to work). So I need gas money. Otherwise, I already bought some stuff to make treats (we all make food to snack on) (it was part of my $100 I spent this week at grocery and what I have in pantry). Otherwise, no other cost.
Saturday I have to pay a friend to watch my daughter while I go to a daycare "dealing with temper tantrums" parent evening. It'll be fun, eat good food and have good conversation.
Sunday, drive down to see my mom and hang out with her. No cost (outside of gas again). We'll do some shopping but she usually buys any groceries we use to cook with :)

We're on vacation so we'll be spending plenty.
We're doing the walking tour for the biobay thing in Fajarado, PR tonight. $60 for the 3 of us.
I'm working remotely today (been gone for over a week!) so I might send DH to get some lunch. $15-20 depending on what he can round up, but I'm not sure if I trust him driving out here....
Dinner free with my family.
Tomorrow we're going to Ponce so my dad can drop off his rental car. We may go see more sites and I have to pick up a few more souveniors for others. Maybe $50 total spent for everything.
Sunday I believe DH wants to hit up San Juan one last time so maybe another $50 for misc stuff.
Monday we go home so maybe $20 for misc things at the airport. We have a long layover, but we can go to the skyclub and they have complimentary drinks/snacks. That will basically hold DD over, but we may grab breakfast at the airport in San Juan.
So not too pricey since we get most of our meals at family's homes, but still want to buy a few more things.
Maybe going to the winter carnival, about an hour away, free to get in and get to walk around on the frozen lake and see all the ice sculptures, will pack a lunch (mostly packing lunch due to kids food allergies but it also saves $$ so it's a win-win)

A small theater, with two stages. The production values were above average, and the use of the very small stage for at least two different "locales" was quite well done. The show is full of surprises, and well acted! Definitely will be telling friends about the show, and recommending they see it.

Thoroughly enjoyed Our House. Edgy drama as the other Theresa Rebeck plays have been.

This is not Theresa Rebeck's best work. SMASH is terrific and I recently saw her outstanding play on Broadway starring Alan Rickman. OUR HOUSE is just OK. It did not help that the evening we attended was "understudy night" and the performance...continued
This show's running time is two hours, with an intermission.
This show utilizes some simulated gunfire.

La Tremoille
Very Good
316 Reviews
In Paris, in the heart of the Golden Triangle and in a quiet street between Montaigne Avenue, Georges V Avenue and the Champs-Elysees, lies a hotel that associates the brilliant architecture of the Hausmann era with a contemporary elegant style. The hotel is La Tremoille. Always one of the jewels in Paris' realm of traditional deluxe hotels, La Tremoille reopened its doors to the public in June 2002 after 15 months of extensive transformation. The hotel's steadfast, quality-conscious personnel is ready to greet you in a resolutely contemporary decor. The 93 comfortable, modern rooms are decorated in over 30 harmonious color schemes that vary from room to room and leave guests with a unique and warm feeling of unpretentious luxury. The hotel features absolute privacy for guests who request it, thanks to a unique system installed in all rooms. Each room at the Tremoille has a private compartment- called the "Hatch"- linking it to the hallway, so that room service can be brought to your room without service staff actually entering the room.
Hotel Address:Location Summary
- La Tremoille
- 14, rue de la Tremoille
- Paris, 75008
- France
La Tremoille is in the middle of the "Golden Triangle" in the 8th district - probably the best possible location in in the heart of Paris - a stone's throw from both the Champs-Elysées and the Avenue Montaigne.
Banquets & Meetings
The two meeting rooms (for 8 and 20 people) are isolated from the hustle and bustle of the hall. Naturally lit and equipped with all the latest technologies, they can be used for customized, efficient business meetings.

Located in the heart of the Golden Triangle.Shopping streets like Avenue Montaigne and Avenue George V are a stones throw away from the hotel.
Recommended Rooms
The suites offer panoramic view of the Paris rooftops. You can decide to receive guests in your suite's living room, or relax in the comfortable armchairs. Bathrooms are outfitted with dark marble and warm woodwork, deep soaking tubs, and Molton Brown bath products. Certain rooms also have private balconies or bow windows that offer splendid views of Paris rooftops in the Golden Triangle quarter.

Pork Chops Primavera
This fresh and fast Everyday Easy Meal makes the most of pork, you get chops, a little taste of bacon, and a heapin' helpin' of vegetables.
-Better Homes and Gardens is pleased to partner with General Mills to bring you Everyday Easy Meals. We all live busy lives, so finding time to make delicious healthy food can be tough. The solution? Better Homes and Gardens Everyday Easy Meals. Pork is so versatile and this quick recipe makes the most of it using both bacon and chops. It looks great; tastes even better; and best of all, it's on the table in less than 30 minutes. You need just 5 main ingredients; some green beans, some apple butter, some fresh grape or cherry tomatoes, 4 pork chops, and some thick peppery bacon. And from your pantry, a little soy sauce and some olive oil. I'm going to start with pork chops. All I have to do is brush on a little soy sauce. Give it a nice coating on both sides with soy sauce. That adds a lot of flavor. Let those brown up. Now, add a half of cup of apple butter and a quarter cup of water to the pan. Reduce the heat and let that simmer covered for about 5 minutes. Now, that's the pork, but what about the prima vera? I've got my frozen green beans. They're a great shortcut. I'm just gonna pop them into the microwave, and while they cook, I'm just gonna give my bacon a rough chop into about 1-inch pieces. These green beans are done and I'm gonna add them right in with the pork chops. I'm going to add my tomatoes then I'm going to add my bacon and I'm gonna let all of that cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken up. So now, I'm ready to serve this out. I'm gonna placed it chopped right on the plate and then I'm gonna ladle the sauce right over the top. It's so easy and delicious and so is the simple variation. Just by changing what you put into the sauce, you have a whole different meal. Trade off the beans and tomatoes for some pineapple slices and a little bit of red sweet pepper and put that over your pork chop for a fabulous Hawaiian island flavor. There's no reason not to have a home-cooked meal when it's an everyday easy meal.

Canadian Banks Mobilize for Preservation of Endangered Species: The Middle Manager
Clarke, David, American Banker
MONTREAL -- Canadian bank management talent has been at a premium since the 1980 Canadian Bank Act opened up the country to foreign banks.
To their annoyance, Canadian-owned banks found their middle management ranks being depleted as 58 American and other foreign banks fished in domestic waters for experienced personnel to complement top management imported from abroad.
Foreign banks now face the prospect of opening up more branches and hiring new staff to capture the larger market share that the proposed liberalization of their own industry will make possible. A bill is before the Canadian Parliament to open up the Bank Act once more, and double the foreign bank asset ceiling to 16% of the domestic bank's Canadian assets.
The expected escalation of the competition for scarce human resources focuses attention as never before on Canadian bank management development programs and policies.
Traditionally, middle and upper echelon positions in Canadian banks have been filled with high school graduates -- often as not from small towns -- who began long apprenticeships with banks and then further upgraded their skills with internal training programs and the occasional spell at an outside educational institution.
Loyalty to and long service with one bank are the hallmarks of the career of this type of executive, who fills many of the top spots in Canadian banking. A notable exception is American-born and trained William Mulholland, chief executive officer of the Bank of Montreal.
The effectiveness of this traditional type of executive has been hard to judge, for until recently there were few other Canadian prototypes with which to compare. The development of leading Canadian banks into institutions with global scope is a positive indicator. Canadian banks do compare favorably with American banks.
For example, share prices of major American banks dropped 23% between Jay. 1 and June 11, 1984, according to the Dow Jones News Service. Meanwhile, a survey of second quarter profits of major Canadian banks conducted by the Toronto Globe and Mail "Report on Business" showed Canadian banks down only 11%.
Among Canadian-owned banks, the Toronto-Dominion Bank had the highest return on equity at 17%, and the highest return on assets at 84 cents in profit for each $100 in assets.
Graduated Wanted
Whatever the current performance of the major Canadian banks, all banks operating in Canada are finding that, in the face of increasingly sophisticated competition using the latest technology, relying on the apprenticeship system no longer suffices. As entry-level requirements increase, however, banks find that they are encountering problems with the Canadian educational system.
Canadian business schools graduate only half the numbers relative to the population of the country as American schools do. Furthermore, the option of concentrating on financial services management within an MBA program is not available at any Canadian university.
The root of the problem is that salaries offered by Canadian universities are not competitive, and the supply of qualified business instructors lags behind demand. With some 300 business school teaching positions vacant, generally strict rules limiting the number of foreign professors who can teach in Canadian universities have been relaxed, but to little avail.
"We should be graduating twice as many to be in the same ratio as the United States," said Urban Joseph, executive vice president of human resources at Toronto-Dominion Bank. "Still, there are several very high quality schools with MBA programs. If you zero in on those, and if you really have a good selection process, your chance of getting the top 25-30% is very high. We also recruit at American universities and there is not much difference when you are in that top part of the class."
For Mr. Joseph, the lack of bank or financial services management training at Canadian universities ". …

It seems that the folks over at ProFantasy are interested in input as to desired features for their Fractal Terrains Pro product. http://forum.profantasy.com/comments...&page=1#Item_0 is the discussion topic over at their forum.
Oh, thanks Joe....I'll have a think and contribute!
I'll go have a look as well since I seem to be getting deeper into using it.
When nothing is going right and you can't find someone else to blame, start beating your head against the wall, 'cause it'll feel so much better when you stop.
Don't forget to get any Fractal Terrains feature requests that you might have into the forum over at ProFantasy. Or post them here. Either way, the request period is starting to wind down...
I'm putting it here, now that you've said it's ok...and keep in mind, I do enjoy the current version, but I see many areas that could be improved to make it more useful and more enjoyable.
In no particular order...
1. proper saving of files (ideally, I could save 30000 x 15000 pixel map without lines/glitches/etc. as a jpg/png/tiff/bmp OR include an automatic mechanism to re-join the individually output files...and don't hide away things like "saving as jpg/bmp" behind hard-to-determine ctrl schemes (like having to hold down ctrl to change to saving as bmp files)...keep it in the open with menus or gui-options. I'm tired of having, after rejoining 32+ files for each layer of my map, to touch up every border on the rivers layer because rivers don't meet).... any chance of psb support for these massive files?
2. My pipedream is to be able to identify fault-lines at the beginning of map generation, then have the program simulate continental drift...and the resulting land-height shifts, mountain and volcano generation etc. Time consuming, sure, but more realistic - hope so! That could be as simple as identifying original landmass shapes, direction and rate of movement, and an amount of time that has passed....calculate the movements, 'guestimated' changes where land masses meet (which moves up/down/over/under etc), and then apply the smoothing and erosion that may have happened over time. Dreaming too hard?
3. A quick way to output only land mass, or only water mass areas (with the rest of the map transparent or a definable colour
4. For individual import/export areas (i.e., terrain colour/texture files) to rememember the last loaded files and folders locations (recent files...).
5. A way, for each terrain generated, to store a variety of map views. That way I could, in one file, return to my "North American continent" view, or "City #33 view" etc.
6. Lots of people are doing it - included the functionality that creates the html and individual image files for a google map-style display....super bonus points if it allows me to add symbols for individual locations etc.
7. The ability to place vector or other image overlays at specific locations on the map which remain individual and re-positionable entities (on layers?) (e.g., stars for cities, words for labels, or the map of a city, compass rose) which show up between specific zoom ranges....for example, at "the whole map" stage, you see a label for countries that you've created, from 60-80% of the map on screen, you also see a star and label for each city, and at 30-60, you see the roads you've layed out (using overlays), and 0-30 you start seeing the city maps you've created and placed...or trees you've added (vector or transparent pngs). (Of course this all gets output in the google-map-style setup for zooming in and out, etc).
8. a 64 bit version for those of us who like LARGE maps with lots of detail....and want to generate with more detail etc. than the current version can handle without choking and crashing and dying catastrophically (and without warning you a value may cause problems as it does now). I suspect that many of the users on here have more than 3GB or ram...we want to use the full power (speed/memory) of our computers to make our lives easier.
9. a better river-overlay system (true vector output?)...
10. an export scripting language for (non-programmers) that lets you cue up exports (i.e., export map with these settings showing only land, now only water, now rivers, now overlay layers as above, now outlines of land...etc) to allow repeatability and comprehensive data-sets to work with in photoshop etc.... I typically save most of those versions right now, and then join the individual files together to make my large file FOR EACH save, and then can import them into photoshop...full-size saves (30000x15000 would make me ecstatic) for each type would be wonderful. Right now it's easy to make a mistake, forget a setting (or to hold ctrl to save bmp) and all that....and having to reset your settings each time is frustrating. I'd love to combine this with #5 above, to generate the standard files for my "Atlas"...which I could then import and apply scripts to in PS...to get my consistent-look Atlas pages generated without unnecessary (and easily missed/forgotten/messed up) steps.
11. some way to "nudge" your map to make minor shape adjustments.....
12. That ability to set your starting position as a seamless-full-world map.... or forget seamless, and just go for a section of the world as the starting point at full-res (i.e., just an island or continent).
13. make sure all map projections work properly, especially when saving at ALL resolutions...
14. A brush with adjustable feathering, and brush size adjustments that are a) smoother and more fluid to do on the fly (with a graphics tablet?), b)consistently display on the screen .... and perhaps have store-able presets?
15. forgot to mention reasonable upgrade price (i.e., 1/3-1/2 of new)
16. a raise for Waldronate
17. More variables (with labels and good explanation of function) that can be controlled - especially if some can be in layman's terms (i.e., land mass size, mountain height, lake frequency, lake size, volcano frequency) and the ability to save those preference files for future use on other new maps
18. a dream...? give it a height map from another map (greyscale) and have it generate an algorithm to give you a similar map (i.e., same proportion of water to land, height range and distribution -are height changes gradual or rapid, clumped like a mountain range, or stretching out over the width of a continent...or apply those ratios to #2 above
19. I'd love it if rotating the 'glove' to get different views didn't produce edge artifacts at the original sides/top/bottom of the map....it's a globe and should be truly seamless.
20. Rotating this globe should shift the climate info (i.e., ice packs at northern and southern poles) AND/OR (your choice) the view.... when I'm first creating my map (or later in it's life if you want to simulate a global catastrophe) I may want North America to become the new South Pole, I may just want a different view while the South Pole remains the South Pole climate-wise, or I may want to do both.
21. Climate that is based on a bit more science (i.e., ocean current/wind-flow and the Earth's rotation should be added to the algorithm so that it moves behind just land height/latitude).
22. Give me control over "how real" it is. Allow me to adjust 'precision of calculations' so that I can do quick renders or ones I leave running over night for exacting detail...with a proper indicator (I'm good with a checklist) of which stage it's on and an estimate of calculations remaing (i.e., completed 15/139439 calculations) for each stage....EDIT: Perhaps if the continental drift stuff gets working, a simulate by year/decade/century/millenium to adjust precision....
23. lake/river formation based on climate
I know not all things above are going to happen - but I'd love to see as many of them as possible down the road!
Thanks for the chance to contribute ideas/requests.

If I can find good documentation on the proprietary PSD/PSB file formats then I might be able to include it (the ideal discovery would be a library that writes such files, of course).
I'm not sure which version of FT you're running, so I'm not sure if the current implementation of brush presets in the FT beta meets your desires for part B or not.
Wow...thanks fro the comprehensive reply...
Here's a few notes/responses to some of the above...
1. I found this on adobe's forums just now... (PSB is necessary for files beyond a certain size - but I can't remember if file size only or also resolution-limited. I think PSD only go up to 2GB in size).
2. If the 'Yes' means its coming, you've almost guaranteed the first update customerOriginally Posted by http://forums.adobe.com/thread/588226
3. Perhaps preference files (the program should remember where they are) for saving/outputting images of the maps. These could include check-boxes to include: a) texturing on/off, b) height map on/off, c) climate on/off, d) render oceans / render lakes / render rivers / render land ... and perhaps a colour setting for those areas not rendered (allow choice of colour, with presets calculated to be as far from the normal colours on the map as possible so that it can be selected easily, and transparency)
4. fair enough...though it drives me nuts that I load a map, then have to navigate to a different folder to load the climate colours, and if I want to load another map, it resets the folders in the climate-colour area...and so on I can live though, I do in many programs
5. I did not know this. I'll have to explore that. Thank you.
6. Well, where do I send the CO2 to enhance bubblage I suspect this feature could work well in CC and your other products too (and could provide an opportunity for the company to provide the specialized hosting (large numbers of tiny files seems to frustrate some hosts because it slows the backup process down....) for this type of image display....
7. I follow that. I think the on-screen benefit of this gets lost when output at full res because river width doesn't vary. Once exported, the 1 pixel rivers tend to dominate everything. I wonder if there is a way (colour gradients/shading?) to simulate river width as it might vary from it's head to it foot. A tiny creek looks the same as an epic river in terms of width/size (not length, of course) which breaks up the realism a bit. Keep in mind, I'm exporting to an ed size of around 30000px in width usually, so my frustrations may be specialized to me. What about the possibility of placing eps/transparent png objects at set locations/resolutions?
8. I just dream of being able to save larger/full size maps in one go as opposed to 32+ with a painful rejoining at the end. At the edges of each tile there are often inconsistencies from the saving (e.g., rivers don't connect with the neighbouring tile having 1 blank pixel at the edge of a tile)...this happens in jpg (artifacts cause more inconsistencies) and bmp (fewer issues). If that could be worked around, and a separate instance that rejoins the tiles into the huge image, I could live with that. I actually uploaded a program a friend wrote for me to do this, but it's a java command-line dealio. If we could just specify the final size we want, and the program does the tiling/rejoining in the background so that we dont' have to do the math of figuring out how many tiles/resolution of each etc, that would be great, as right now, a miscalculation leaves parts of the map cutoff, and sometimes you end up with a tiny map in the middle of huge black borders (if memory serves). http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...8525#post58525
9. I don't use CC2. Does this vector save open up in illustrator/photoshop as paths etc? I guess an eps output or something like that would be what I should have requested (a vector format traditional imaging programs can open).
10. ...
11. Hey, I'm broad strokes, you're fine details I'm not sure how this could really be implemented, especially in terms of high detail. I guess I'm just looking for an easier, more fluid way to adjust land mass shapes while maintaining the same degree of smoothing/roughness as the rest of the map (for altitude changes, land texture, and especially coast line roughness. A feathering setting for the brushes may help (pressure sensitivity with the wacom tables would be great)....
12. I've gotta re-install FT Pro on my new-at-Christmas setup and check. What my memory is telling me, is that when you zoom in, beyond a certain point, landscape features begin to lose meaning right now. This may be a cross-over memory from other mapping programs, but might not. Maybe it's just rivers, or maybe its more (or nothing)... It also may be something I'm noticing as I make my massive oversized maps (texture only goes so far etc?).... It's kinda like your description of the river setup above (varying amount of rivers shown depending on zoom). I'd like the land to develop another level of detail as you get closer....right now the large-scale roughness/noise/texturing doesn't transition to small-scale noise/texturing. Now I'm thinking again about the 'google maps' style export, and, really, if you could identify, as the user, different settings for noise etc (along with the river variation etc) to appear on the different zoom levels saved out, that would be marvellous. I'm going to have to reload and get playing again (Winter is my mapping time), and I'll try to figure out a better explanation while I confirm my own thoughts on this one.
13. Now I'll have to go scouring my old posts, as I know it's come up in the past. I seem to remember finding success (without export glitches, surprisingly huge black borders) on outputs other than the Equiangular projection). I remember you fixed (the beta) river issue, but I didn't revisit other projections after that. (here's a thread where it was discussed a couple years back... http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...top-of-my-maps)
14. I haven't done too much since river-fixing-Beta came out (other than verifying that the river stuff was better on the default projection I was using).
17. This would be a challenge. Consider, however, that every single ounce of pain Canon SLR owners went through when Canon redesigned their lens mount for AF: they now have the most versatile mount in the business, which allows for brighter lenses (it's a wider mount) and for converters to use almost every other brand of lens in the world on it in manual mode...sometimes it just has to be done. Could the 'old' algorithm be included for opening and viewing older files (for export etc)., and the new one for all new files created? I guess it's a balance of benefits from a newly designed structure, and grafting things on to the old one (and sometimes shoehorning them in?).
18. I figure I have another 40 years or so before I croak...someday!
19. glove should have read globe. Right now when you create a map and change the rotation on rectangular projections that show the whole world, the left right/top bottom edges (when you actually see them meeting now that they aren't the edges of the original map) don't actually line up nicely for the noise/texturing and I believe (memory could be faulty) rivers... the end result is an imaging artifact going in a straight line through your map (maybe noticeable more at the resolutions I'm working with). I'd like to be able rotate the globe like a ball without any seams showing up anywhere in the image when projected flat.
20. Another poor explanation by me. If I generate a map, and there is land at the north pole, it is usually in an ice zone (let's pretend those are the way my default climates were set). I would like to be able to shift the land mass positions so that the land that was formally my north pole is now at the equator and would therefore receive a different climate. This would be in addition to just changing the view so that the north pole is in the center of the map, and still has the north pole climate. One changes your veiwing position, the other changes the land's position around the globe while maintaining the globe's polar orientation adn your position. I don't think that explanation is much better, but here's hoping...(hmm....if I said I wanted to simulate a planet's orbit and polar orientation shifting so that it's poles moved into equatorial positions, changing the planet's climate, would that help?)
21. Music to my ears. I think that finding that balance is a challenge for sure. Could you maintain both the old and new algorithms and or allow a sliding control for 'accuracy' which would allow users of slow and fast computers to achieve that balance of time/quality?
22. Maybe that's what I'm wanting then ...I can't remember the term without re-installing and checking...but when you create a new map, there's a detail setting...I think the limit (4GB? from the 32 bit deal) is 5-6000. I think this is referred to as detail/resolution/accuracy, or affects those things. If I set it beyond that, the program accepts the input but will consistently crash (if crashes are likely to occur, having program defined ranges for user settings would be nice!). Would being able to increase this (2x,3x?) take care of my 'land doesn't look great when really zoomed in' issue above? I get what you're saying about the tiny/large steps...what about parallel algorithms (when needed) which are then compared and combined at certain stages?
If the 'small' step algorithm moves at 10 year increments, and the large at 1000 year increments (or whatever makes sense in a geological time), we can start with the land in X year.
At X+1000, the small step algorithm has gone through 100 steps, the large 1. The two are combined in some way, then the next iteration takes place. I'm envisioning some sort of mesh overlays that track a grid of positions. Each point in the matrix is matched up between algorithms which is how they can be recombined. If point A moves x,y in the long step, and a,b in the small, the meshs could be warped in some way to ensure they still match up in a 'plausible' way...
Please keep in mind I'm a layperson who likes logic, but doesn't program and hasn't done any statistical analysis/study in 15 years. I'm likely suggesting impossibles.
23. Would it be possible to a) have rivers form as they do now, but when they encounter suitable zones (climates/heigh field areas) they may form a lake... and b) placement of 'starter' ground springs which can form lakes (in flat areas) or rivers above when they move out of the flat zone or start on a slop or area inhospitable to a lake. This could give us oases etc? I get the time/calculation thing too. It would be one thing at a global level and viewing scale, another when you zoom in. This is where the 64bit, no memory limitation thing would come in for those of us wanting to ramp the detail up to 6000000. For the later, perhaps being able to place the start of a river (the spring) manually, and then having the computer calculate the run of that single river/it's lakes/etc. would be possible too?
I was initially frustrated with some of the shortcomings of FT (the river issue, projections, output)...and didn't find much help/support on the company website. I encounter this often in creative programs as I love to test the limits of things (I'm a lover of the extreme wide angle/macro, infrared film, etc in photography, for example) Your openness and always honest and positive help on here kept me working through and developing workarounds. Your detailed response (you could have just said, "thanks, added to list" and left) is an excellent example of this ethic; you are the main reason I'll likely grab the next release of FT Pro.
The "Yes" for number 2 was, sadly, in response to the "Dreaming too hard?" question. Tectonic generation has been on the wish list for a long time but isn't likely to get implemented soon.
Placing markers, text and vector graphics onto FT maps has also been on the wishlist for a long time. That's more properly the domain of the Campaign Cartographer line of tools. It would also take a pretty significant amount of effort to implement and isn't likely to make it into the product soon. It's one of the problems of having a single part-time contract developer on the project: there's not a lot of time available to do the work and the complex features are more likely to get pushed out.
There has been a request for SVG output as a common vector format. Do you think that might meet your needs?
The multi-file export misfeature was an idea from version 1.0 about 12 years ago now. I was never particularly happy with how it turned out, but it seems to work well enough for what many folks seem to want from it. It really doesn't work well for stitching multiple files together, as you found out.
If you scroll down in the thread I mentioned (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/588226), you'll find that people have posted links to the pdf describing the file formats to save you the effort of having to contact adobe etc and request it.
3. Perhaps preference files (the program should remember where they are) for saving/outputting images of the maps. These could include check-boxes to include: a) texturing on/off, b) height map on/off, c) climate on/off, d) render oceans / render lakes / render rivers / render land ... and perhaps a colour setting for those areas not rendered (allow choice of colour, with presets calculated to be as far from the normal colours on the map as possible so that it can be selected easily, and transparency)
It may not be a whole solution, but when I export FT Pro, I do a pass where I use a custom altitude colour file in which the land is all white and the ocean all black, in addition to the 'beauty' render, I then put the two together in photoshop and use the black / white render as a mask / clipping layer if I need it. Sometimes I also do a render of white and black with mountain shading on so I can play with the mountains on a separate layer.
If I want to edit FT as a vector file, I output it to CC2, save it as a .dxf (but CC2 often crashes on this part, it's a bit hit and miss). It would be so much better if the FT could output to vector directly and have everything properly grouped and layered.
P.S. Joe, if you're allowed to, can you tell us what your priorities are in terms of additions / amendments to the next FT Pro version?

Register Now for Fall 2013 Lay Education Courses
The Ewart Centre for Lay Education is offering two courses this fall for those pursuing their Certificate in Christian Faith and Life.
Elective Course – Oct. 15 – Nov. 19, 2013
Location: Online
Instructor: The Rev. Dr. Andrew Irvine
Details: This course will examine what it means to go beyond tolerance to love. Religious studies professor Douglas John Hall (retired) of McGill reminds us that Jesus did not teach us to 'tolerate our neighbours' but rather 'to love our neighbours'. It's the assertion of this course that religious diversity is not a problem but rather an opportunity for spiritual growth. The course will examine the changing religious scene in our communities, promote an understanding of other faiths and develop possible ways of communication that fosters community harmony and spiritual growth.
Instructor: Andrew is adjunct Faculty, the Director of the Centre for Clergy Care and Congregational Health and spends 60 per cent of his time seconded to the Toronto School as the Director of Doctor of Ministry Program. His interests are in issues of leadership and Pastoral Ministry, the well-being (wholeness) of Clergy, congregational studies and small church Ministry. Andrew and his wife Suzanne are part of the Caledonia Presbyterian Church. His areas of teaching are Intro to The Practice of Ministry, Theological Field Education and Human Growth and Spiritual Journey.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God – what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12: 2)
Elective Course – Nov. 4 – Dec. 9, 2013
Location: Online
Instructor: Stephen Allen
Details: As a follower of Jesus, Paul's message to the community at Rome must have been a challenging one as he urged his brothers and sisters in Christ not to be shaped by the dominant culture, but by Jesus' life, death and resurrection. Paul's message has a counter-cultural edge to it. What does this mean for us today?
This course will explore the following issues:
- Reformed theology and justice
- Climate change & global warming: Who wins – who loses?
- Growing Inequality in Canada: Why should we care?
- Restoring Right Relations with Indigenous people: What does this mean for Canada?

Hi I have been into cycling for a while, but i did have a break for a long time.
Now i am back into Commuting to work to build up the legs. I have found that i have been getting tired legs. Its still only been a few weeks and the legs muscles are very tight. I think this may be a reason behind it.
A week ago i entered a 40Km ride with a few hills, as the legs were tired i walked 80-90% of the hills. I had done this ride b4. Last time following a group that got lost and taking us up huge hills. To then go down and realise we missed a turn off, going buck up the hill.
Is there any way of getting muscle tightness out or any one have any other sugestion?
I did have some one tell me its medical, but as i took my son to the Docs today i asked and he said give it 6-8 weeks if no maybe longer.
The commute to and from work is realitively flat, i'm maintain average of 26-28kms with 15kms to and from work.
Cheers Dean

#1466 new bug
Stack check for AP_STACK
|Reported by:

|Type of failure:
|Test Case:
|Blocked By:
|Related Tickets:
|Differential Rev(s):
|Wiki Page:
This is a bug I uncovered in the interpreter, that I think is also present in the compiler.
When compiling code for a function or thunk, we aggregate the stack usage from case continuations up to the top of the function/thunk and perform a single stack check. This normally works fine: we know the maximum amount of stack that will be required in the evaluation of this function/thunk, and we check for it up front.
However, this goes wrong if the evaluation is suspended by an asynchronous exception: the stack is broken into chunks and stored in AP_STACK objects, which may later be resumed. On resumption, we might not have enough stack any more: the code might now be running on another stack entirely, even.
Our proposed solution is as follows:
- Continuations that require more than a certain amount of stack (say 4k) do their own stack checks.
- an AP_STACK object records the amount of stack available at the time it was suspended, if the amount is <4k. On resumption of an AP_STACK, we ensure that at least this amount of stack is available. (there's a spare half-word field in AP_STACK that we can use for this).
The 4k limit is important: it puts a bound on the amount of stack growth due to evaluating an AP_STACK. Essentially the 4k limit is large enough that it almost never happens.

Tue Sep 11 14:02:28 BST 2007 Simon Marlow <email@example.com> * FIX #1466 (partly), which was causing concprog001(ghci) to fail An AP_STACK now ensures that there is at least AP_STACK_SPLIM words of stack headroom available after unpacking the payload. Continuations that require more than AP_STACK_SPLIM words of stack must do their own stack checks instead of aggregating their stack usage into the parent frame. I have made this change for the interpreter, but not for compiled code yet - we should do this in the glorious rewrite of the code generator.

what models? also the gore? they models?
The creatures are the Weeping Bats (aka miners) from Silent Hill: Downpour which can be downloaded from the workshop. The fem. Ark Mars models were likely downloaded from somewhere on line. As for the gore it looks as if to be the l4d 2 gibs (also is available for the workshop).
those things seem to act like free willed darklings... the only thing missing is teeth, lips, 3 fingers(excluding the thumb), dark skin, glowing eyes, and random fashion senses... mainly gangster outfits XD I'm a bit of a The Darkness fan. no I am not referring to the band "The Darkness", I am however referring to the comics.
any who--magnificent job!
Would be creepy if my dirty mind didn't suggest rape.
Бля, это ахуенно!
I kind of also wanted to know where you got the female robot model thing from is is form workshop also
models plz can I have the link

Annihilare is the incantation of a door-opening spell. The topmost cell of the Dark Tower was charmed to resist this spell.[1]
Known practitionersEdit
Annihilare may come from the Latin annihilō, meaning "I bring to nothing", or, less literally, "I destroy". This may mean this spell was meant to destroy the door rather than merely open it.
Behind the scenesEdit
- This spell is mentioned only in the script of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

From the Queen of Sheba to Britain's Duchess of Cambridge, Sri Lanka's sapphires have adorned royalty through the ages, but a flood of cheap imitations is threatening the island's reputation for the precious stones.
As economic contraction continues, Taiwan is unlikely to achieve 1-percent GDP growth this year, and even risks recording negative growth, Premier-designate Lin Chuan (林全) said on Sunday.
A European brokerage has lowered its target for the Taiwan Stock Exchange Capitalization Weighted Stock Index (TAIEX) on the main board for 2016 to 8,800 points from the previous 9,000 points, citing concerns over listed companies' profitability.
The Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER), one of the country's leading think tanks, said Thursday that as economic fundamentals remain weak, an index that gauges manufacturing activity flashed a blue light for the 12th consecutive month in March.
When investors borrow securities for a short sale purpose, they can spend more than they had previously anticipated, according to the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE).
Premier Simon Chang (張善政) said yesterday it would prove "very, very, very challenging" for President-elect Tsai Ing-wen to meet the renewable energy targets she set during the presidential campaign.
The U.S. dollar rose against the New Taiwan dollar Friday, gaining NT$0.002 to close at the day's high of NT$32.281 as intervention by Taiwan's central bank helped the U.S. currency recoup its earlier losses, dealers said.
Shares in Taiwan took another beating, falling more than 1 percent to end below 8,400 points Friday after a plunge seen a session earlier as investors were motivated by steep declines on Wall Street overnight to unload large-cap stocks, dealers said.
Domestic gasoline and diesel prices are expected to move higher next week as international crude oil prices have been rebounding amid a weaker U.S. dollar, market sources said Friday.
Taiwan's gross domestic product (GDP) fell short of the government's forecast in the first quarter, registering minus 0.84 percent year-on-year growth, according to government figures released Friday.

So a turbocharged version of the IS-F motor can rev to 9k? Thinks not!
Much blasphemy ensued, and some menace, which I stopped by dismounting and opening the carriage door, and intimating an intention of mending the road with his immediate remains, if he did not hold his tongue. He held it.

JL said...

Why not?
Part of the Knowing Club
Because they would need to be galactic in size and intercooled to death to feed a 5l V8 at 9k without being hot air guns, wouldn't they?
Nah, something like a pair TD05-16G would flow enough air for the quoted power. Boost would tail off towards the top of the rev range anyway. A more modern twin-scroll, variable vane jobbie of equivalent size would be very driveable.
The LFA V10 revs to 9k, not the V8 (which is what that sounded like) .
Nordschleife - there's only two barriers to worry about - the ones on the left and the ones on the right!
Exactly - I was belming at whoever wrote that article as the leaked spec sheet clearly mentions 9k rpm.

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel was not yet completed or occupied, so there appear to be no injuries. The hideous structure burst into flames Monday night, as The Guardian here reports. As of this writing, our Central Library has not yet been evacuated as a precautionary measure. Experts do not believe the building is ugly enough to ignite on its own.

Air conditioning units are extremely popular these days. There are many different brands of air conditioners available. Air conditioners help you by reducing the temperature of the room and making it cooler. They provide great comfort. Purchasing an air conditioner may be an easy job, but when it comes to its installation, it can often be a little difficult and tricky.
It is important for an air conditioner to be precisely installed, or its performance could be affected and the unit may even be damaged in the longer term. A user can experience maintenance issues if an air conditioner is not properly installed and this can lead to a rise in the cost of your electricity bills. It may also consume more electricity, causing problems to the user.
It is always advisable to use professional and expertise help to install an air conditioner. There are few important things to remember when installing an air conditioning unit:
- Proper precautions must be taken to ensure that the airflow located over the fan coil unit goes through the forced air duct structure appropriately.
- It is important to check that the refrigerant charge is at the right level.
- Make sure the air supply unit outside your building is suitably placed.
- It is always advisable that the thermostat to switch the unit on/off is easily accessible.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stocks have provided rich rewards since the financial crisis. During the past five years, SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) returned 16.5% annually, according to Morningstar. But you could have done even better with ETFs that weight stocks in less traditional ways. Guggenheim S&P 500 Equal Weight (RSP) returned 19.9%, and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 (PRF), which weights stocks according to fundamental measures, returned 19.6%. Other promising approaches include funds that emphasize stocks with low-volatility or momentum. Often called smart beta benchmarks, the alternative approaches have come to be seen as ways to outdo the traditional measures such as the S&P 500.Among the leading proponents of smart beta strategies is Rob Arnott, chairman of Research Affiliates, the developer of the RAFI benchmarks. In recent research, Arnott looked at how half a dozen smart beta strategies would have performed over the last 50 years. All the strategies topped traditional benchmarks. The high-volatility approach outdid the S&P 500 by two percentage points annually. Low volatility fared even better.
Can These Hot Passive ETFs Keep Topping the Benchmarks?

March 18, 1965. For 77 days before the Americans went into space, the Soviet Union wins the technological race when Alexei Leonov first greeted earthlings from outer space, and, according to the chronicle, safely walked back to the ship. But these 5 meters to the gateway are the most painful walk in his life, and an emergency landing in manual mode — an example of the incredible will to live of the Leonov and Pavel Belyaev, his partner.The film, directed by Yuri Bykov, is due out sometime in 2016.

You saw Android Wear a couple of months ago when Google unveiled the SDK and both LG and Motorola presented the first promotional pictures.Read More
Back in KitKat, we were introduced to translucent system bars, which gave app developers the ability to make the navigation and status bars semi-transparent. Reclaiming as much of the screen as possible became an obsession for many fans as they demanded their favorite apps go "full bleed." With Android L, Google is treating us to even more flexibility by allowing developers to set their own color for the status bar, or even turning it completely transparent.Read More
A couple of days ago, AOSP was graced with a series of freshly created "l-preview" branches and a massive push of brand new code. As we know now, quite a bit of that code push wasn't truly representative of the L developer preview. (Very sneaky, Google.) Most of the truly new updates belonged to GPL-licensed projects, which Google is obligated to release in a timely fashion. The remaining projects with "l-preview" branches were filled with a recent snapshot from the Master branch.Read More
It looks like Google is serious about getting the "L" preview out to developers in all of its forms, even as code. That's right, some of the source code is already live on AOSP!
It looks like all of the recent Nexus devices are covered - everything from the 2012 Nexus 7 up through to the Nexus 5. Of course, just because branches have been published for these devices, it is not absolute confirmation that this entire list of devices will receive an official L release.Read More
Battery life on Android has been a bit of a sore spot for many users, mostly because it's simply not good enough. Most devices can make it a day on moderate use, and a few can even do so comfortably, very few phones can hit two days without some time on the charger. The Android "L" release is making several improvements to power efficiency via Project Volta, but there are also ways to improve 3rd-party apps, and that's where the new Job Scheduler comes in.Read More
If it's not already completely obvious, the L Developer Preview is shaping up to be an absolutely massive sea change for Android. While we've been treated to an entirely new design language called Material, a redesigned Recents screen, huge performance improvements, and over 5000 other new APIs and features for developers, it's easy to overlook plenty of exciting improvements that aren't quite as flashy. One such change was briefly mentioned by Dan Sandler during the "What's new in Android" session: Multi-Networking, the capability to maintain multiple network connections simultaneously.Read More
Last year, at Google I/O 2013, some major new features and improvements were announced for Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) -the replacement for Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM). A couple of the new bits were even featured during the keynote, particularly notification syncing, which the audience loved. The one thing most people don't know is that most of the coolest things announced that year were marked as beta and locked behind an application process. Plenty of developers were accepted, but it certainly wasn't available to everybody.Read More
If we're being honest, it's hard to deny that one of Android's most obnoxious flaws comes in the category of audio performance. Playing some music is generally fine, but the issues start to become obvious after introducing very high quality audio or trying to achieve precise timing or real-time processing. With the L Developer Preview, it appears that Google is driving to improve upon these weaknesses and give audio performance the shot of adrenaline it needs.Read More
If you couldn't make it to Google I/O, and thus couldn't get one of the first Android TV units as part of the developer swag, you can still start developing your apps for the platform's retail debut later in 2014. Google has included Android TV modules in the official Android SDK, underneath the Android L (API 20) package. That includes an emulator specifically for TV, so you should be able to build and test apps without any extra hardware.Read More
Android Studio was first introduced to the world a little over a year ago at Google I/O 2013. At the time, it was coined a "Developer Preview" to indicate that it wasn't ready for major development projects, but people were welcome to experiment with it. In the following months, Android Studio has progressively improved, swatting many of the bugs and adding truly valuable features for developers and interface designers. After a long, and sometimes frustrating road, the upstart IDE is finally trading in its 'Developer Preview' moniker in favor of a shiny new 'Beta' tag.Read More
