NFA Vehicles Type Eleven
The Type Eleven has been constructed, after a long pause. For those of you following the progress of the NFA Vehicles "Think Tank" , you know it's been some time since Type Ten was completed. We started in 1986 with Type 1 and Type 2. Type 3 came in 1987. Type 4 was built in 1988. Type 5 and Type 6 date back to 1989. Type 7 was designed in 1992 by my Daughter Mellisa and her friend Patricia, and built the same year. Type 8 is being saved for last*. Type 9, designed by Mellisa, was built in Winter 1994-95. Type Ten has had many Variants, with the current #10 having been built in 2002.
Type Eleven comes along just in time for the 2011 model year, so I suspect there will be some confusion as to whether the "Eleven" refers to the model number or the year it was introduced?
Please search the forums if you wish to see photos of the previous "Human Powered Vehicles" which NFA Vehicles has produced.
Today, I present the NFA Vehicles Type Eleven, in Color Photographs:
This Prototype contains NO Fiberglass, it is all Corrugated Plastic. This saved hundreds of hours of Labor. Some Steel bolts were used (quarter inch with 20 threads per inch, between 3/4 and an inch and a half long).
The Front Box Fairing is twelve inches wide and the Front surface is angled to beat the wind.
*Footnote on Type 8-Type 8 was to be "The Eightball", so I saved it for last.
Please go to the original thread, in the General Cycling Discusion , for the rest of the photographs:
I would appreciate comments from all of you in the Utility forum, since I think it went over their heads in General discusion.
What I failed to say is that this build was extremely cheap, using all recycled materials, i.e. the bike and the coroplast.

Light and Bright Dream Home Decorating
White and more white
When Glenn and Barb Timmerman built their Door County, Wisconsin, retirement home, they knew what the dominant color would be: white. Barb is crazy for white, outfitting all her past homes -- regardless of whether it was considered fashionable at the time -- in white, white and more white.
"I really believe people should find something they love and go with it and not worry about whether it's 'in' or 'out,'" Barb says.
At left, white walls and white decorative pieces blend with blue fabrics and a seaside painting.
Surrounded by beauty
Tall trees shade a lush flower garden next to the screen porch and surrounding an expansive patio.
Barb and Glenn let the shoreline location dictate the floor plan of their Cape Cod-style home; main living areas all open up to breathtaking views.
Bright and cheerful
A casual, glass-wrapped eating space off the kitchen takes the place of a formal dining room.
"I like the way white frames a window," Barb says. "There's just something about it that's light and bright and cheerful." She sticks to white for the walls, woodwork and cabinets because it doesn't compete with the ever-changing colors of the water, trees and sky outside.
Light, airy architecture
The great-room offers two seating areas: big sofas for company and a cozy area for two by the fireplace.
The home's one-story design lets ceiling heights soar in almost every room, creating light, airy architecture. The great-room's cathedral ceiling is 16 feet high; the master bedroom's is 12.
Pushing up the roof provides ample space for dozens of floor-to-ceiling, transom-topped windows that welcome sunlight, nature and sparkling water views.
Architect Scott Humber often features transoms for their old-fashioned detail. Barb puts it simply: "I feel happier surrounded by the light."
Enjoying the view
Glenn and Barb enjoy the views from their home on the Green Bay side of Door County. Barb has been vacationing in Door County every year since she was 5.
A study for daydreaming
Pretty garden colors and a water view make daydreaming a daily hazard for Barb when she works in her study. The glass-topped table was made from an old garden gate.
Barb uses the same white paint on every wall and piece of molding. She has no favorite white; the brands have changed from house to house. But it has to be a pure white, she insists, "not cream."
She chooses fabrics or wallpaper patterns with a white background and keeps the decor interesting by including architectural details, textures and touches of color in patterns. "I'd rather have few things that make statements than more that create visual clutter," Barb says.
Cottage design elements
A 24-foot-long foyer starts at the front door and leads to the back patio.
The home borrows design elements from early 1900s cottages, including pale maple floors, built-in cupboards and tongue-and-groove ceilings. What aren't old-fashioned are the home's unique light fixtures, high-shine hardware and sleek faucets.
Blending styles in the kitchen
"We like traditional that has a contemporary twist to it," Barb says. In the kitchen, beaded board on the island and back of the glass-front cabinets is pure cottage. But the high-gloss engineered quartz countertops, streamlined faucet, glass-tile backsplash and contemporary pendants are thoroughly 21st century.
A way of life
Lattice wallpaper below a chair rail adds subtle pattern in the master bedroom. Green fabrics bring the trees' colors inside. And, of course, there's more white—on the walls, the bed, the floor covering.
White is simplicity defined: clean, pure, serene and timeless. It dovetails with Barb and Glenn's retirement philosophy of keeping life uncluttered and easy. For them, white's not just a color; it's a way of life.
Focusing on the view
The master bath has a solid-surface surround for a smooth look. Blinds tuck into the windows' framework so nothing detracts from the view.
Tips for decorating with white
Don't use white to be safe. Make it a deliberate part of your decorating scheme. Why?
1. It has importance. It highlights unique architecture, but also can add contrast and significance to nondescript trim.
2. It's bright. It expands space by reflecting light.
3. It unifies. Disparate design elements come together on its uncolored backdrop.
4. It's versatile. Varied whites mix easily in a room, as long as they're on different surfaces and textures.
5. It's timeless. Use white for walls and furniture, and when trends, seasons or personal preferences change, just swap out colored accents.
6. It can transform. An old piece of furniture can become high style with a coat of enamel white.
7. It's practical. Dust doesn't show (though scratches might). A slipcover can be easily bleached to look new.
Choosing a white
White is white, right? Not according to the Pantone Color Institute, which identifies "the most important" 68 shades of white. Plus, every paint manufacturer has its own white assortment to attest to white's range.
While you might think any white will do, you should choose whites as carefully as a color. Paint a test spot and view in daylight and artificial light. The same white can look different depending on the paint's reflective finish: enamel on trim, eggshell on walls or a flat finish on ceilings.
Most whites do have a touch of color in them. When choosing a white, pick one that has a warm (red or yellow) or cool (blue or green) tint that complements major colors or woods already in the room.

I'm having problems sending encrypted mail from Zimbra to our SMTP relay
server specified by zimbraMtaRelayHost.
I've tried the settings in
Outgoing SMTP Authentication - Zimbra :: Wiki
and a bunch of other stuff. Enabling session logging on the SMTP server shows that
Zimbra just ignores the STARTTLS option entirely (there are no attempts to use it).
checktls.com says that the relay is set up well, and other servers can send mail to
that system without any problems.
We are *not* requiring SMTP AUTH; we just want TLS. Does anyone have any
ideas for our Zimbra 7.2.4 server? Even enabling smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer
doesn't log anything.
Thanks for any help!

I remember a couple of years back a 6th grade goalie stopping K Davis from Woburn's slapshot. Don't think for a minute that the AB goalie can't stop anything that Hingham has. You don't get to the finals unless you can play.
Lll of this talk about her not being able to handle it will just motivate her more. That year the Wilmington coach did an interview and made a fool of himself not knowing how she could play. He said that 6th graders shouldn't be playing with seniors and how one of his seniors had a "ferocious" slap shot... that it will scare the young players away from the game of hockey. He had no idea how she played or that she had T Brown shooting slapshots at her all year. No comparison between Brown and his player. The ingnorant comments just motivated her even more to prove that she could handle it.
This AB goalie will be able to handle anything that Hingham has. Don't overlook that. Don't motivate her any more than she is now.
Good luck to both goalies...here's hoping it's a 0-0 tie and everyone has to come back Monday to resume play.

Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineHugo Spowers puts down his foot and accelerates to 60mph. The 50-year-old former racing driver concentrates on the Tarmac in front of him, carefully pursuing the optimum -- meaning fastest -- route. He calls his driving technique "following the racing line", but there are no competitors behind him, no cheering roadside crowds. Nor are we at Brands Hatch or Silverstone -- we're tearing a long a country lane in Herefordshire, and those green flashes by the side of the road are hedgerows. "That's an excellent corner, that one," says the one time Formula Three driver as he emerges from a bend between his home in Titley and his office in Ludlow.Look a little closer, though, and you see that Spowers isn't some shameless petrolhead. The car, an Audi A2 he bought online and collected from Munich, is no ordinary hatchback: it's a special "three-litre" model, meaning it uses, on average, just three litres of fuel per 100km.The lightweight aluminium vehicle has low rolling-resistance tyres and a small 1.2-litre turbo diesel engine, and saves fuel by turning itself off when the car is stationary and starting again when the accelerator is pressed.Spowers says he's slower than he used to be. These days it's not time that absorbs him, it's a small gauge by the speedometer that reads 91.7 miles per gallon [3.08 litres per 100km]. "It's become a challenge," Spowers says. "Rather than competing against the clock, I'm competing against the mileage meter. My record is 130 mpg [1.81 litres/100km] for two drives."This preoccupation with fuel consumption isn't a diversion. Spowers is on a mission that goes beyond saving a few miles per gallon. He seeks the eradication of the internal combustion engine. "The best engines in the world are 25 percent efficient," he says. "You have to wean yourself off something that is 25 per cent efficient as your prime mover." So he plans to bring hydrogen transport to the masses through his company River simple, which, according to its website, intends to "build and operate cars for independent use whilst systematically pursuing the elimination of the environmental damage caused by personal transport."While Honda and Mercedes-Benz build million-pound state-of-the-art hydrogen- fuel-cell cars, Spowers is attempting to rip up the auto industry's design and business- model rule books and start again. His company is creating an entirely new car from the tyres up, developing an innovative business model and trying to beat the world's most powerful automakers to market with a budget of £20 million and a staff of eight.

Struggling to fit everything in? Increase your baggage allowance with prepaid Extra Bags.
Sometimes you need to take a bit more baggage than what's permitted in your free allowance, that's why we've introduced (for travel from 27 November 2012) prepaid Extra Bags - the opportunity to purchase extra baggage before you travel and save on the airport excess baggage rates.
Check out this table for an example in GBP showing the difference between purchasing Prepaid Extra Bags and paying excess baggage at the airport.

If you have purchased a Seat fare you will first need to upgrade to a Seat + Bag fare before you can purchase Extra Bags. Please note that Extra Bags are not available to purchase for international multistop itineraries booked online.
If booking online with multiple travellers, Extra Bags will be spread across passengers to ensure the most cost effective allocation but you will need to check in together to make sure the extra baggage allowance is recognised.
Overweight, oversize and firearm charges apply in addition to prepaid Extra Bag charges where applicable. These charges can only be paid at the airport.
Airpoints™ and Koru members allowances
If you're an Airpoints Elite, Gold or Koru member your current free additional baggage allowance still applies to a maximum of 3 checked in bags, so please take this into consideration before purchasing Extra Bags.

Further information

While the joys of being a woman are countless, no one would argue that dealing with cellulite is among them. Cellulite or orange peel skin is a natural state of tissue found in 90 percent of all women; however, the commonness and natural origins of cellulite don't make it any more appealing. Many women wish there was something they could do about cellulite, but worry about the side effects that are common with many of the procedures designed to banish orange peel skin. The truth is that you don't have to simply live with cellulite for fear of the risks of treatment; you can address the problem with the products in the Thalgo Firming and Cellulite line.
Since the Thalgo Firming and Cellulite collection contains natural ingredients, it does not pose the same threat of side effects as invasive or chemical treatments. The products in the Thalgo Firming and Cellulite range are extremely effective and safe to apply all over. With regular use, the Thalgo Firming and Cellulite lineup tones and firms the skin for a more even, smooth texture.
Fight back against orange peek skin with the Thalgo Firming and Cellulite range. This lineup of effective products uses natural ingredients to restructure and tone the skin on the arms, chest, stomach, hips, thighs, buttocks and wherever else cellulite lingers. Due to the ingredients used to produce their results, the firming and cellulite products from Thalgo are a safe alternative to invasive procedures like liposuction.
The Thalgo Thalgomince Cream LC24 not only battles existing cellulite, but also strengthens common trouble areas to prevent sagging and that dreaded orange peel texture before it starts. An ideal product for those currently working toward weight loss goals, the cream breaks down fatty deposits under the skin, allowing them to be metabolized by your body.
The Thalgo Cellu-Thighs Lipo Reducing, Reshaping is especially formulated to work on your thighs, one of the areas most commonly plagued by orange peel tissue. The cellulite gel is a spot treatment that penetrates deeply into your skin to reach the adipose tissue underneath its surface. The highly effective formulation found in the product can tackle even the hard, fatty deposits that other cellulite creams on the market cannot treat.
The Thalgo Slim and Sculpt Slimming and Firming Cream is an all-over lotion that firms the skin in all of your trouble zones. The formulation makes an immediate difference in the firmness of your skin and continues working after the initial application to strengthen the outer layer of the tissue and boost the production of collagen.

1969 Mustang RTR-X - SlidewaysWritten by Mike Finnegan on March 13, 2012 The infamous '69 that Stars in your kid's favorite video game is as real as it gets.
Picture this: You're a racer, which means you're a control freak, yet you agree to ride shotgun in a high-powered, ungodly expensive '69 Mustang that's rocketing at triple-digit speeds toward a sweeping, 180-degree turn designed for airplanes taxiing at 5 mph, and the driver isn't braking. You're waiting for it, but it just isn't happening. Deeper, deeper. The unmuffled exhaust is wailing, and the digital tachometer rips past 7,000 rpm as the car accelerates hard in Fourth gear. You are way past the point of no return, where mortal men would've already downshifted, smoked the brakes, or just bailed out the door and eaten asphalt. Just as you're about to scream like a little girl and punch the jackass behind the wheel to wake him from his daze, he grabs a handful of E-brake and pitches the 'Stang completely sideways, shuffling his hands and feet faster than you thought possible, and accelerates through the corner instead of safely slowing down.
Asphalt and rubber debris fly off the front tire through the open window, smacking you square in the helmet, and you can't help but imagine the muscle car violently landing on its lid after the tires grab a rut during this aggressive sideways slam-dance. But the gut-wrenching flip never materializes. The '69 just keeps on power sliding around the turn, leaving a smoke trail that John Force would be proud of, and exiting the corner nearly as fast as it entered. This was our introduction to drifting and to a car that darts between classic, custom, and import styles.
Vaughn Gittin Jr. had only seen that corner once before. He spent maybe 90 seconds warming up the Falken Azenis tires and didn't hesitate when negotiating the dead end of that airport taxiway. Now that's confidence. Confidence in his equipment and in his ability to control a car that is altogether too nice for this sort of mayhem. And that's what drifting looks like to a newbie. Pure, unadulterated mayhem. From the outside looking in this is about loose cars doing burnouts in parking lots. Wrong. This sport is less Furious and more Bullitt than you'd think, and it's gone mainstream with the Formula Drift Series, which Jr. owned in 2010 as its champion.
Forget all that. Let's talk about the car. It's badass, and you might never get a ride in person, but you can drive Jr.'s '69, which is called the RTR-X (Read To Rock-X), in the new Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed video game. It's way close to the real thing. The real thing is not a poseur, faux-touring trailer queen with an identity crisis, either. Jr. earns a living competing in drift racing events and built the RTR-X to lure suckers like us into the seat and into his world. It works both mechanically and psychologically. Even if you hate the neon-green accents and fender flares, one ride will make you question your car's performance and start looking at this one for inspiration.
The chassis and coilover suspension are dialed for high-speed maneuverability and massive amounts of grip. The powertrain is a high-revving combination of Kinsler-injected Coyote crate engine power mated to a six-speed from a Boss 302R1. It flat-out rips, but the real fun comes from an Art Morrison front clip that delivers 50-plus degrees of steering angle and dual-caliper rear brakes that work independently to initiate the sideways action. The performance level will impress even the most jaded open track-day hero.
The aesthetics are pretty good, too, if you can wrap your dome around Dearborn metal ramrodded with European styling and a side of Asian flavor. Rather than cut up a classic, a Dynacorn reproduction body was massaged with traditional lead filler instead of plastic, and steel was used to create the rear spoiler and NACA ducts. The heavily modified sheetmetal is dead straight and covered in show-quality graphics that were picked via an Internet forum (SpeedHunters.com) fan survey. It's a high-end piece that most owners would cringe at the thought of wheeling in anger. Not Jr.
We witnessed him hammer the RTR-X with unrelenting force in the worst possible place for a car with a show-quality shell. Jr. drifted it at a defunct airfield, which hasn't seen the good side of a street sweeper in years. It's potholed, rutted, and covered in more loose rubble than the parking lot of the Boar's Nest. In short, it's hard on cars that are driven delicately, let alone ones pitched sideways with the tires hucking rocks at the quarter-panels. Love it or hate it, but you've got to respect a car that is driven like that.

Art Morrison provided a narrowed, mandrel-bent front clip with a custom suspension that yields between 50 and 60 degrees of steering angle and the adjustability to make the 'Stang stick in a variety of driving situations. U-turns, J-turns, and returns are no problem.In addition to handling the drivetrain installation, Steen Chassis (SteenChassis.com) raised the floor and the trans tunnel 5 inches to clear the six-speed trans and lower the roof line of the RTR-X. This also required redesigning the Maier Racing (MaierRacing.com) Extreme rear suspension system. It's based on a Watt's link, which locates the 9-inch, full-floater rear axlehousing side to side without binding, and a three-link with a torque arm. The big draws are the cantilever-actuated JRI coilovers, which push against a billet aluminum mount with titanium bolts.Just how low is this car? The rear framerails have been C-notched for axle clearance at full bump, and the raised platform above the rails is where the Maier Racing cantilever suspension system was relocated. Normally, the rocker platform bolts to the floor right above the framerails.How is this for a challenge? The RTR-X was rendered by EA Games' Andy Blackmore for the Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed game before it was a real car. The talented crew of fabricators had to build the car to match the game in the usual time crunch for the SEMA Show, which was not easy. Time constraints meant that key styling cues like the replaceable fiberglass fender flares were crafted without having the wheels or body on hand. This would bite the build crew in the butt at the last minute when the flares had to be rebuilt because the original pieces didn't fit with the superwide wheel and tire package.
Check out that wasted lower control arm bushing. Did we mention Jr. drives this thing hard? Camber, caster, ride height and the splined antisway bar are adjustable. Check the beefy Woodward Precision electric power-steering rack.The sexy stainless-steel exhaust system, including the four-into-one headers, was custom-built by Twins Turbo from mandrel-bent 304S material sourced from Specialty Products Design (SPDExhaust.com).We were thoroughly impressed with the 5.0L Boss 302's ability to hang with 8,000-rpm shifts and pull harder than its 401hp/378 lb-ft dyno rating suggests. Kinsler injection features 72-lb/hr Bosch injectors controlled by a MoTeC M800 ECU. Twins Turbo Motorsport Engineering (TwinsTurbo.com) took care of the final assembly and packaging. The radiator is from Griffin, and the crimp-style AN fittings are lightweight Brown and Miller Racing Solutions pieces.The flares are necessary when you bolt 18x10 and 18x12 Work Meister wheels under a ponycar. The RTR-X rolls on 255/40R18 and 295/40R18 Falken Axenis RT 615K rubber.Stitchcraft (StitchcraftInteriors.com) had three days to make Jr.'s late-'60s race car inspiration come true on the Ford GT seats and door panels with diamond-patterned Alcantara upholstery. The MoTeC digital dash is housed in a one-off carbon-fiber cluster that matches the door panel inserts. The pedals are new Wilwood billet units.JR's office is a flyweight 650 hp '11 Mustang GT built by Auto Sport Dynamics that features a carbon-fiber body and is rumored to weigh less than 2,800 pounds. It has no interior, no trunk floor, and titanium fasteners, so we're buying it. This is a demo version of his track car, and although it had also had no upholstery to speak of other than the bucket seats and dashboard, it felt only slightly quicker than the RTR-X, even with 4.56 gears. It rides on adjustable Tein coilovers front and rear and stops via Wilwood binders. We'd love to have the Monster and Falken livery on anything we owned. It's got to make racing a bit more affordable.Art Explosion spent just 10 days smoothing out every inch of this car, and you'd never know it by looking down the side of it. It's straight and the BASF paint is ridiculously flat for how little time was available to work magic. HRM

Forrester, rangeland management. Get on USAjobs.gov and see what you can find. BLM, forest service, USDA. All sorts and they tell you what you need
So maybe this is a little bit of a different question, but I am 20 years old and I am just thinking about what I want to do in this life for a career ha. I´m really into the outdoors and I have thought a little bit about getting some type of job for Fish and Wildlife Services or BLM or something like that... I´m not too familiar about the jobs that are out there, but maybe you guys can help me out...
What are some of the jobs that I could look into?
What kind of schooling would I need to get for that career (I am still planning on being in college for at least 3 more years)?
What are some things that a wildlife biologist does?
I just really enjoy being in the outdoors a lot so it would only make sense to get a job where I can spend time outside, right? If I have to have a "desk job" for 30 years I might go crazy ha.
Any ideas??
PS: I not looking for a "tree hugger" job where I have to go out and count how many blades of grass there are in an area ha... just keep that in mind haha
Forrester, rangeland management. Get on USAjobs.gov and see what you can find. BLM, forest service, USDA. All sorts and they tell you what you need
Many years ago I wanted to do exactly what you are talking about. I picked a college that had an excellent Wildlife /Fisheries Management Program (Humboldt State in Eureka, Ca). I was a pretty good football player and had a number of scholorship offers, H.S.C not among them, as they didn't offer football scholorships at all. I chose another school in southern California (now that rings a bell!) and got a degree in Business. Went on to get an MBA and another degree in Production Engineering. Worked 40 years in aerospace...great career and got paid lots of $$$.
But did not allow me to work out of doors and in what I really wanted to do. I guess I traded that for another career and money! Go to the best school you can afford and follow your heart. Talk to the people in the field you are interested and find out what it really is like. The main thing is get your degree!!!

"My Father always considered a walk in the mountains as the equivalent of church going."
Aldous Huxley
If I had a chance to do my life over again i'd be a warden. Not a bad choice for you if you love the outdoors. You'll need a college degree for the job, so you're headed in the right direction. I'd pick a state, and talk to the DOW about what you need to do.
Like Colorado Cowboy, Old Hunter and beav906 have mentioned get a degree or the schooling you require towards something you want to be. Hopefully it will be something you are passionate about, and then stick with it until you get there.
If I had it to do over again, I'd have stuck to my first plan and have gone to Humboldt State here in CA to be a wildlife biologist or game warden. Instead I changed my mind, went to Fresno State and worked towards a business degree. I have a good career and things worked out well enough but sometimes wish I could or would have stuck to plan number one longer.
"Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles. Your decision to be, have and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else." ~ Brian Tracy
I would call a biologist, a warden and someone who works for the Forest Service and tell them you would like for them to fill you in candidly about their job. I think many of them would take time to talk to you and maybe let you tag along for a half day in the field. The wardens and biologists I have talked to about areas I was going to hunt DIY as a nonresident were very likeable and very helpful. I will say that the biologists I have talked to spend a lot more time at a desk than you would think.
BTW, our wedding announcement from almost 38 years ago listed that I was going into forestry. Like CO Cowboy, I ended up in business, got an MBA and a seminary degree but never worked in forestry or for the Game and Fish. Like most people, I have wondered sometimes what life would have been like had I taken one of the other forks. Who knows?
As a Christian, I always pray for the Lord to direct me in his will and trust that He does. As a married man, I have learned to really value my wife's input. Many times she has seen what I miss. Maybe a close friend can do that for you.
My advice - get lots of information from people who work in those fields and follow your gut.

I have been working as a fish biologist for the last 6 years. It has been both fun and adventurous as well as boring and monotonous. I have worked for the Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife, and a tribal government. It definitely gets you outside a lot, but I think most people don't realize how much work that has to be done in the office. Yes your first couple years you will be out in the field, but the further you move up the ladder the more you get stuck in the office.
I think the game warden route is the best for staying in the field most of the time, but for this job you have to be willing to work alone most of the time.
If you do want to work in natural resources, be it fish, wildlife, forestry or whatever I think you ultimately have to care alot about the resource.
If you are looking for schools the University of Idaho is top notch for natural resources.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discourage you. But I am trying a career change myself..

I got a buddy that graduated from a ranger school in Co. Wants to be a warden but is struggling to find a job he wants. He says they do a lot of seasonal hirings so he hopes for some jobs to come up in the fall or next spring. He also says he may have to go the Police route for a while to use the degree, but isn't exactly his preference. I've always been interested in the forest fire fighters, but haven't pursued it yet. I too got a business degree but wonder about the "mountain" jobs.
I'd echo most of the statements above.. I'd always considered going into the field you are considering, but I was afraid it wouldn't let me pursue other dreams I had.. In the end, I graduated with degrees in business and Insurance & risk management, and I'd like to think that I'm still an expert at the outdoors as well.. I think it's important to have balance in life, and to keep your hobbies your hobbies.. Don't mix business with pleasure, if you will..
The most important thing is to get your degree, and go from there.. You can't go to work hating what you do every day, but at the same time, your job has got to be able to make ends meet.
Also, regarding going crazy at your desk job... I always felt the same way when I was trying to figure out what I was going to do when I grow up... Looking at it now though, It's a comfy 72 degrees in here, and about 102 outside. I also appreciate the outdoors much much more now than I did 5-10 years ago.
I'm at the tail end of doctorate research project at Auburn University in Wildlife Sciences (got my B.S. and M.S. in same field at NC State), so I'm currently dealing with a very saturated job market even at that end of the spectrum. I've got more friends than I count on my fingers and toes with a 4 year degree and struggling to find a job that even pays $30,000 full-time. I'd think long and hard before counting on making a career in natural resources and if you do proceed with that career path know that an advanced degree is almost a MUST to be competitive for even entry-level biologist jobs. 4-year guys are grunts on burn crews, bush hog tractors, and picking invasive weeds off mountain sides right now. Bottom line is that the 4-year degree job applicant is growing at a rate exponentially greater than the job market can support and has been for some time now. Sorry to be a downer, but that is the harsh reality of the budget cuts that have hit the field often and hard over the last decade.

DETROIT – The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and Silverado 1500 are the 2014 North American Car and Truck of the Year.
It is the first time Chevrolet has won both awards in the same year. The Silverado was last named Truck of the Year in 2007 and the Corvette was last named Car of the Year in 1998.
"Chevrolet is in the midst of the most aggressive product transformation in the brand's more than 100-year history," said Alan Batey, General Motors senior vice president, Global Chevrolet. "The Corvette and Silverado truly embody the passion, commitment and focus that is driving us to deliver the most expressive designs, innovative technologies and engaging performance in every vehicle that wears the bowtie,"
Presentation of the North American Car and Truck of the Year awards open media days each year at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Forty-nine automotive journalists from the United States and Canada vote to recognize the most outstanding vehicles of the year based on factors including innovation, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value for the dollar.
The new Corvette Stingray is the most powerful standard model ever, with 466 horsepower (343 kW) and 630 Nm from a 6.2L V-8 engine, enabling the sports car to hit 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds.
Silverado's available 5.3L EcoTec3 V-8 generates 355 horsepower for confident towing and hauling, yet seamlessly switches to four cylinders to save fuel during light-load driving. With an EPA estimated highway fuel economy of up to 23 mpg, Silverado offers the best fuel economy of any V-8 pickup.
"It is a distinct honor for the entire Chevrolet team to have both the Corvette and Silverado recognized with the prestigious North American Car and Truck of the Year Awards," Batey said.
Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is the world's fourth largest car brand with annual sales of almost 5 million cars and trucks in more than 140 countries. Chevrolet provides customers with fuel-efficient vehicles that feature spirited performance, expressive design, high quality and Chevrolet MyLink intelligent connectivity. Its European line-up includes the Spark and Aveo city cars, the Trax small SUV, the compact Cruze, the Orlando family van, the Captiva compact SUV, the Malibu mid-size sedan, the legendary Camaro and Corvette sports cars and the extended-range Volt electric car.

The Hilleberg Akto has served me well the past 5 yrs. I could use a tripod upgrade also. Some good tips on here, thanks.
I have been pleased with my Cabelas XPG tent(two man) I have been in some pretty nasty weather in it and stayed dry. It has a nice rain fly that sits above the tent, vents well, and I like the big vestibule to put my boots and gear in out of the weather.
Shoot STR8
I own 5 different packing tents from various well known manufacturers......too many I know. The one I've used the last three seasons is the Big Agnes SL1. VERY lightweight, bombproof, and the most room (for a one man tent) I've found. No condensation, tub floor, and enough room to sit up in for me.
B&C / P&Y Official Measurer
Bohnter. I got the Sl2. Its realy light weihgt. Do you use a foot print it seems thin on the bottom? Also have you camped in a good rain with it?
I use a Big Agnes Fly Creek UL1. It is the lightest one man tent i could find. 1lb 14oz. It has not let me down in 3 years. Easy to setup, freestanding and easy to pack. I pack the poles seperate from the tent body which allows me to compress the tent more. As far as a tripod i'm looking for one this year too and interested in what everyone has to say.
I don't use a footprint in the areas I backpack in.....it's generally above timberline with a fairly soft ground with vegetation. I've had my SL1 in some of the most torrential downpours, snow, etc......everything you could encounter while bowhunting velvet clad mule deer. It's never let me down or even thought about leaking.Bohnter. I got the Sl2. Its realy light weihgt. Do you use a foot print it seems thin on the bottom? Also have you camped in a good rain with it?
The Fly Creek UL1 is also very light.......about 10 ounces less the SL1. The "packed" weight is what I usually carry in (tent, poles, guy lines, stakes). Both are very lightweight and quality products. My next favorite backpacking tent is made by Marmot......also bombproof, but about a 1.5 pounds heavier.
B&C / P&Y Official Measurer
I have been using a telescopic walking stick with a lightweight Burris spotting scope. The walking stick has a threaded stud that the scope screws right onto. The adjustable height allows me to sit or stand with just a twist of the shaft. Weighs in at less than a pound too. I strike hunt, pack out three to four days at a time...for weight savings this really cuts down on the pounds and is handy to walk with as well.
Does anyone use a OR Bivy?Any thoughts?
I'm looking to up grade from the old tarp/sleepingbag "roll"as we called it thing to something more waterproof.
Can you handle the challenge.... hunt hard but safe!!

Exercising during pregnancy
Florian Walter, MD, is an OB/GYN at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: Is it safe to exercise during my pregnancy?
Answer: Generally speaking, yes. When I get asked this question from my patients, I first talk to them about their pre-pregnancy exercise. Then we work together to create an individualized exercise regimen for them.
Most women may benefit from 30 minutes of daily walking during pregnancy, assuming no complications. Recreational and, in some cases, even competitive athletes with uncomplicated pregnancies can remain active during pregnancy and, as medically indicated, may modify their routines.
Some women continue to engage in very strenuous or "extreme" sports while pregnant, but I recommend they do so only under close medical supervision.
There are some additional guidelines to follow before starting or continuing an exercise routine during pregnancy.
For women who were previously inactive and have preexisting medical conditions or new onset obstetrical complications, a medical evaluation should first be performed by a doctor before engaging in physical activity. Additionally, patients with a history of preterm labor, preterm delivery, or having delivered a previously growth restricted (underweight or undersized for gestational age) baby should have an evaluation and recommendation from their doctor before engaging in exercise during pregnancy.
Once an exercise routine is underway, it's important to keep watch for warning signs that may indicate a medical problem. These warning signs include: vaginal bleeding, shortness of breath prior to exercise, dizziness, headaches, chest pain, muscle weakness, calf pain or swelling, amniotic fluid leakage and decreased baby movement. Women who experience any of these symptoms should terminate exercise immediately and contact their doctor.
The take home message is that you should discuss your exercise needs with your doctor to develop a simple exercise regimen that will allow you to stay active and deliver a healthy baby.

Operational Risk Challenges in Insurance
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 215 Visits
With individual countries required to implement Solvency II by October 2012, insurance companies face relatively tight deadlines to comply with a more sophisticated risk-based approach to supervision throughout the EU. One of the largest changes for all firms covered by Solvency II is the ORSA requirement. "The ORSA has a two-fold nature," according to EC documents. "It is an internal assessment process within the undertaking and is as such embedded in the strategic decisions of the undertaking. It is also a supervisory tool for the regulatory authorities, which must be informed about the results of the undertaking's ORSA."
ORM software can provide crucial risk self-assessment capabilities that enable organizations to document and evaluate their risk frameworks, including processes, risks, events, key risk indicators (KRI) and controls. Executives can stay on top of organizational risk activities through dashboards and reports that highlight key risk metrics and policy compliance.
Munich-based Allianz spent much of 2008 and 2009 focused on infrastructure and Pillar I of Solvency II. The company selected OpenPages ORM (Operational Risk Management) for loss data capture, risk self-assessment and quantitative scenario analysis. The operational risk framework involves the introduction of an updated methodology, improved business processes and new IT support systems. The goal is to integrate pragmatic operational risk management techniques in core businesses operations and decision making processes.
Allianz hopes that their efforts for Solvency II will form the basis of a deeper change in terms of building a risk management culture and the ability to generate good business from a risk and return perspective.
To learn how Allianz is managing Operational Risk and Solvency II, read the case study.
Managing IT Risk and Compliance with UCF
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 221 Visits
I just returned from the Gartner Security and Risk Summit where IT risk and compliance was a featured topic. In a recent blog post, I mentioned that Gartner Research VP French Caldwell presented a session titled "Selecting and Applying GRC Frameworks and Standards,' in which he polled the audience on "which areas are you most likely to apply standards?" Not surprisingly, IT risk and IT security ranked highest followed by regulatory compliance and enterprise risk. We hear every day how companies are grappling with compliance requirements of hundreds of regulations, standards and guidelines that include thousands of overlapping controls and which make the task of managing IT compliance an increasingly daunting one.
The folks at Network Frontiers developed the Unified Compliance Framework (UCF) – the first and largest independent initiative to map IT controls across international regulations, standards, guidelines and best practices, with this challenge in mind. The UCF indexes over 400 laws, regulations, standards and guidelines into a set of integrated controls and reduced over 20,000 citations to fewer than 2,700 harmonized activities.
OpenPages partnered with Network Frontiers to integrate the UCF with the OpenPages Platform, thus allowing IT risk and compliance directors to identify where the greatest risk of non-compliance exists from both a business and IT perspective and prioritize resources accordingly. Pairing this approach with a harmonized requirements and control framework, companies are able to reduce redundancy and duplication of effort and achieve an effective and efficient testing and monitoring program.

As an extension to the annual Pric
By functioning as a consultative arm to the business and helping to establish an enterprise-wide risk and control framework, audit has the capacity to influence the continued improvement of process level controls as well as the macro level control environment. Internal audit can bring to the business best practices for measuring, managing and prioritizing risks while cross pollinating effective management techniques and internal controls across the enterprise.

Taking an Integrated Approach to IT Audit
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 194 Visits
PwC surveyed the chief audit executives (CAEs) of Fortune 250 companies about trends likely to affect internal auditors over the next five years and what they expect internal audit to look like in 2012. Titled "Internal Audit 2012", the study lists "ten imperatives" that provide the foundation for a high performance internal audit function in the years ahead including:
One of the key roadblocks to an integrated approach to IT audit is the sheer complexity of data gathering and management. In the past, it represented a tremendous amount of effort for internal audit to collect relevant information and to govern access to that information securely. A centralized technology platform for identifying, assessing and monitoring risk and controls presents a unique and unprecedented opportunity to help the business focus on making risk decisions based on management's risk appetite and tolerances.
This common framework and process can make the business more predictable in meeting IT, financial and management objectives and can help managers anticipate major risk and control problems of the future. As a partner with IT and the business in managing risk, internal audit should be a driving factor in evaluating technological and process-based changes and evolving the organization's risk management practices.
The Cost of Compliance

A recent industry survey by PTC shows that the highest cost of product compliance
Of course implementing a compliance program has its costs as well. As our recent white paper "The High Cost of Non-Compliance" authored by Rick Steinberg points out, an OCEG Benchmarking Study shows the cost of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance alone averaging:
So, while implementing a compliance program may seem high, it's clear that not putting an effective compliance program in place can be significantly more expensive.
The white paper points out several key ways companies have succeeded not only in reducing compliance costs, but also enhancing efficiency and gaining real business benefits:

The Supreme Court today issued a ruling in Free Enterprise Fund et al v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board et al and upheld the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The court did take issue with the way PCAOB members could be removed, and ruled that board members could be removed "at will" by the commissioners of the Security and Exchange Commission. In the majority opinion, Chief Justice Roberts wrote that, despite the unconstitutional tenure provisions, the Act remains "fully operative as a law."
So what does this mean? Congress clearly tried to insulate the PCAOB from the political whims of the executive office, passing the Act, as it did, during an administration skeptical of regulation. Roberts' court handed advocates of executive power a victory by ruling that dual for-cause limitation on the removal of officers is not constitutional and that the president must have a direct line to remove officers of the government, which the Board members were determined to be.
However, given the current administration's concern about corp
Further, more and more SOX efforts are being rolled into a comprehensive program of managing risks enterprise-wide. Companies are more interested in broadening the application of the approaches, tools and techniques for testing financial controls to their broader control environment. The net here is that the Supreme Court's ruling will probably have little to no effect on how companies actually manage their risk with respect to financial reporting.
How Solvency II Impacts Operational Risk Management
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 326 Visits
Businesses have always been engaged in managing risk, but it has taken an unprecedented wave of regulatory oversight to convince many organizations how inadequate their risk management policies and procedures really are.
The UK's Financial Services Authority, in a May 2009 policy document, Insurance Risk Management: The Path to Solvency II, warned that "the risks of not developing detailed plans for Solvency II implementation are great.
Firms should have completed or be in the process of completing a detailed gap analysis to identify any shortfalls in expected compliance with the emerging Solvency II requirements, as they bear on their operations."
A gap analysis should evaluate the current state of an insurer's risk management system against current risk standards and the desired state. The organization then must develop a roadmap on how to achieve that desired state. Organizations need to evaluate their entire risk management system and how all of its risk areas are being managed.
Given that executive management is charged with ownership of operational risk management and the need to embed it within the organization, many companies are turning to integrated risk management solutions to better understand and proactively manage the risks that can impact the business.
For more information on Solvency II and meeting the Solvency II operational risk challenge, check out this white paper.

Aligning Risk Reporting with Risk Oversight
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 201 Visits
Compliance Week's second annual eConference is just around the corner and kicking off the conference will be Rick Steinberg, founder and CEO of Steinberg Governance Advisors. Rick has a wealth of experience in corporate governance and in particular, the board-management interface as he advises boards of directors – and their governance, audit and other committees – of Fortune 100 companies, mid-size corporations, major institutional investors and leading universities, as well as federal governmental bodies.
In the first session of the event titled, "Aligning Risk Reporting with Risk Oversight," Rick will outline how most boards believe that the CRO is solely responsible for all things risk-related, and that the CCO is solely responsible for all things compliance-related – which in reality, is virtually impossible. He'll explain that the CRO and CCO are responsible for ensuring that there is an effective risk and compliance process in place to reduce exposure and litigation and that the CRO and CCO need to be sure they are giving the board the appropriate level of information needed to govern. In his presentation, Rick will describe how companies need a programmatic way to report on risk, controls, issues, and other risk and compliance related information to support the senior executives and board.
Risk Appetite vs. Risk Tolerance

Risk Management Polling at Gartner Summit
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 199 Visits
Washington DC played host to the 2010 Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit this week. At the event, Gartner Research Vice President French Caldwell provided a new twist on audience interaction with live polling via cell phone texting. In his session titled "Selecting and Applying GRC Frameworks and Standards,' French polled the audience on "which areas are you most likely to apply standards?" Not surprisingly, IT risk and IT security ranked highest followed by regulatory compliance and enterprise risk. With respect to ERM, French then asked, "which ERM standard is most commonly used in your company?" The largest response was "none!" Fortunately, this was closely followed by COSO ERM, custom or self-defined frameworks and ISO 31000.
In a separate, lively and entertaining session titled "Research Factory," French moderated a panel of Gartner analysts in a close-up look at how Gartner analysts propose and debate the merits of a new research topic. French again polled the audience on which proposed research topic was most relevant and had the best chance/probability of being fulfilled. Each analyst had four minutes to propose their topic and defend the debunkers on the panel. When all topics were complete, the audience voted on who presented and defended their topic the best. The winner was Research VP, Jay Heiser who in his proposal contended that there is a strong likelihood of a failure/data loss from a SaaS product or Cloud Service in the next few years having a major business impact on its subscribers.
Regardless of whether Jay's prediction comes to fruition, clearly a strong case can be made for a detailed risk assessment of your SaaS and Cloud Services data protection processes.
Risk Convergence at American Express
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 425 Visits
At the recent OpenPages User Symposium (OPUS) 2010 held in Boston, Chris Haines, Vice President, Operational Risk Management Group at America Express presented a very informative and well attended session on how American Express has effectively leveraged the OpenPages technology in their efforts to converge risk management disciplines and best practices across the enterprise. In his session, Chris described how the Operational Risk Model employed by American Express provides management greater visibility into risk and empowers management to make strategic business decisions based on a broader understanding of its risk profile.
I caught up with Chris after his presentation and discussed his experience at OPUS as well as how American Express utilizes the OpenPages technology to create an integrated and converged risk and compliance management program that can streamline and improve its risk management processes.
The Value of IT Risk Management – Live from Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 210 Visits
Rising from the banks of the Potomac in National Harbor, Maryland, the Gaylord National is an engineering marvel which provides a scenic venue for the 2010 Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit. I attended an intriguing session by Richard Hunter, Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst in which he described the value of IT risk management.
Hunter recently published a book titled, "The Real Business of IT: How CIOs Create and Communicate Value" which is co-authored with George Westerman of MIT. As part of the research for his book, Hunter conducted a survey of CIOs from 2006 to 2009 on IT Risk management. One of his takeaways from his research is that the business context for the value of IT can be summed up as:
IT grows business, continued Hunter, by ensuring "capacity and capability and providing the ability to conduct business in a certain way." In others words, he explained, it supports someone else's profit and loss. The third value (transforming the business), is about "enabling new value propositions for new customer segments."
He recommended IT organizations take the following steps to show value:
A very common theme at the Summit is supported here in that "performance should be defined in terms of business outcomes and performance, not IT performance."

- Reserve Bank of India seen holding interest rates on easing inflation rateSoaring rural wages created low-growth, high-inflation: ReportRetail inflation for farm, rural workers soften in DecemberOrder on trashing currency notes printed before 2005 not a demonetisation attempt: Raghuram Rajan
Terming inflation as a 'destructive disease', Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan today said there can be no trade off with economic growth in India and prices have to be brought down.
"Inflation is a destructive disease. Industrialists complain about high interest rate but we don't have a choice but to keep interest at high rate because inflation is high at 8 per cent," he said in the 8th R N Kao Memorial Lecture organised by Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) here.
While industrialists want an interest rate of about 5 per cent, a citizen would like the saving interest rate to be 10 per cent. The mismatch between industrialists demand and account holders is because of inflation.
"The point is inflation is hitting the growth in the long run. There can be no trade-off. There is need to bring inflation down. Can we get inflation under control and get high growth," he said.
But, Raghuram Rajan said, the policy makers have to face the problem upfront and not keep postponing facing the problem.
"We have to examine the Urjit Patel Committee report (asking RBI to calibrate monetary policy to retail inflation rate and not wholesale inflation as is policy presently). We cant push inflation under the carpet as a central banker. We have to deal with it," he said.
On inflation, Raghuram Rajan said it would not be unfair to say that in the last few years it was related to food.
"Indians are becoming richer and eating pulses, eggs an fish. We have shifted the terms of trade in favour of agriculture by giving better minimum support price (MSP) for agriculture produce."
He said agriculture labour had become costly not because of MNREGA but because of rural expansion in construction and ther sector.
Services inflation has also gone up, affecting sectors like education and healthcare.
"First, we are among the large countries with the highest consumer price inflation in the world, even though growth is weaker than we would like it to be.
"Much of the inflation is concentrated in food and services. Our households are turning to gold because they find financial investments unattractive. At the same time, many industrial corporations are complaining about high interest rates because they cannot pass through their higher costs into higher prices for their products," he said.

Tata Groups The Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) can continue to run the Taj Mahal hotel located on Mansingh Road in Lutyens Delhi by extension of the lease agreement if the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) goes by the legal opinion submitted by Solicitor general Mohan Parasaran.
Responding to the NDMCs query on whether the lease can be extended by mutual consultation or whether it should call for bids by giving IHCL the right of first refusal (RoFR), Parasaran in his 60-page opinion, has categorically ruled out the bidding route along with the RoFR since it violates the Central Vigilance Commissions guidelines of post-tendering negotiations. The solicitor general has held that any bidding process that comes along with the RoFR is tantamount to post-tendering negotiations.
He has also ruled out a third option public auction and termination of existing arrangement between IHCL and NDMC because it would neither serve the common good nor completely safeguard the interests of NDMC. If this option is pursued, the ensuing litigation would ensure that NDMC is not able to realise fair revenue.
In gist, the solicitor generals opinion states that since the agreement between the two is in the nature of a joint venture and in the last more than 30 years NDMC has benefited in terms of revenue share earning the best course would be to extend the lease; however, it should be done in a manner that NDMC realises the fair market value. ...in my view, subject to all the safeguards..., the option to renew the licence in favour of IHCL provided that a fair, market value is arrived at, the NDMCs decision cannot be termed as unfair and would be within the requirements of statutory and constitutional parameters, Parasaran has stated.
He has also suggested that apart from evaluating the offer of IHCL as to whether it would safeguard interests by maximising revenue share, NDMC should get the offer verified by a reputed and independent expert valuer.
...if the NDMC chooses to go ahead with this option of negotiating the licence with IHCL and arriving at a revenue-sharing model at market value which will best serve the financial and revenue interests, it cannot be termed as unlawful or arbitrary.
The land on which the hotel is located belongs to NDMC which was leased to IHCL for 33 years for running the hotel on a revenue-sharing basis, with IHCL paying 17.5% of the

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA9) -- The national president of Cookies by Design says the company has revoked the franchise agreement with its Bethesda location and ordered it permanently closed after WUSA9 reported on a mice infestation inside the store's kitchen.
WUSA9 aired the story about the rodent infestation at Cookies by Design, 4913 Cordell, March 28th.
Two days later, a note went up on the store's door stating after 17 years in business, the Bethesda location was closing its doors.
"We were appalled that an owner could allow this to happen," said Cookie by Design national president Jack Long. "Not satisfied with the owner's explanation, we have terminated the franchise agreement and instructed the owner to shutter the shop."
In addition to our visit finding mice feces, see the attached video to watch a pre-Valentine's Day promotional appearance on WUSA9 by the now former Cookies by Design franchise owner.
Owner Kim Tucci spoke about brisk sales during the holiday of cookie arrangements that can exceed $100 a piece.
"For Valentines, our busiest day of the year, it's going to be about 200 orders," Tucci said in the on-air presentation - six weeks prior to when our cameras found mice feces in the center of her kitchen, near cookie trays, and along the wall by the refrigerators.
In March, inspectors reported seeing a live mouse at Cookie by Design and cookie trays soiled with mouse feces.
"I've done everything that's been requested," Tucci told our cameras days before she would lose her franchise. "We're still doing cleaning. I'm doing the best I can."
Today the cookie case sits empty at the Bethesda Cookies by Design and no one answers the phone.
We tried to reach Tucci for comment. We didn't get a response.
National Cookies by Design says for now, orders from this area will be filled by their Baltimore bakery.

Charredcrowns is a twin community founded on the remains of a gigantic battle. Two archimages, mightiest of their orders, had a month-long battle on the site, each positioned on a hill across the river. None knows who finally won, but the remains of their mana-use was scorched into the ground, changing the mud intho firm earth along the lines of their pentacles.
People used these areas of stone as roads and squares, and built their homes around them.

Ihoped to have at least one comment to help me... Seems I'm still continents away from the other maps of the guild, it seems.
In this next WIP, I've begun coloring the buildings to indicate their use. Red denotes municipal buildings, gold guild buildings, green ones are shops.
What do you think ? Good idea or distracting one ?
Sorry you haven't got some comments here. It's not really my kind of stuff. It looks too computer generated for me and the overall map (especially batiments) is too blurry. The shape is interesting though and I like the use of different colors to indicate batiments use.
THanks ! I'll think about some ways to alleviate the CG-look. Time to plunge again into the tutorials...
I agree with Max - it seems 'artificial' as in it's very obvious that I was created on a computer. now, depending on the look you;re going for, that might be intended. if not, maybe try less bright colours and maybe some subtle textures to break up the large areas. I'm not sure if the blurriness is part of the decreased size of the upload or if the original map is the same.
I do like the structure shapes and the overall layout of the map, as well as the use of different colours to denote different structures (if you weren't going to do it, you should add a key to another part of the map describing the different areas. A scale-marker will help with conveying the... well, scale!

of the normal probe (it is surprisingly easy to solder to the eye of a new needle). Try
and make this joint as small and smooth as possible.Then use the insulation
from a thin wire to make a sleeve that goes over the needle itself right up to the joint
and only leaving 2-3mm of the point exposed. Hold this in place with heatshrink tubing
going over the joint and about 10mm either side. Put another piece of heatshrink on top of
this going about 15mm either side, so you have a small firm 'probe' that's reasonably well
insulated - not suitable for high voltage work!Your new probes are ideal for
testing chips and surface mount stuff as they are small enough for you to actually see
what you're hitting and far less likely to accidentally bridge across two legs. Also, the
very sharp points will easily punch through dirt and oxides, and even most PCB
varnishes.With care, you can also use them to spike through the insulation of
ribbon cables etc. when you have possible faulty connectors.P.S.After
you've stabbed yourself with them a few times, you'll learn to respect them
