Evolution affirmed in Utah
At its meeting on September 2, 2005, the Utah state board of education unanimously adopted a position statement that described evolution as "a major unifying concept in science and appropriately included in Utah's K-12 Science Core Curriculum." The statement, according to the Deseret Morning News (September 3, 2005), was prepared at the behest of board chairman Kim Burningham "by a group of 22 scientists, professors and community members, including members of the Coalition of Minoritie
Standards debate harming Kansas's reputation, says KU official
The reputation of the University of Kansas and of the state in general is in jeopardy due to the expected adoption of a set of deeply flawed science standards, according to the provost of the University of Kansas.
A quartet of op-eds
A quartet of op-eds -- from Richard Dawkins and Jerry Coyne in the Guardian, Daniel C. Dennett in The New York Times, John Derbyshire in National Review On-Line, and Craig E. Nelson in the Fort Wayne, Indiana, Journal Gazette -- all argue in their various ways against the idea of teaching "intelligent design" and the related slogan "teach the controversy" -- in the public schools.

text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Senior Plainsmen forward Caleb Breazeale's free throws guided Perkins County to a 60-56 win over Hayes Center in Grant on Thursday after a furious Cardinals rally nearly bridged a 16-point gap. Breazeale (eight points) downed four free throws in the fourth quarter, and Jake Sexson gave Perkins County a "three" and a six-footer for enough points for victory. The game's high scorer Seth Gohl nailed five of six free throws in the fourth quarter to total 16 points for Hayes Center, razoring Perkins County's lead down to 58-56. Gohl's bid to tie the game with a three pointer failed, however. Cardinals guard Tristan Johnson rose from the deck to pop in all three of his fouled-behind-the-arc shots, and added two more later. Fellow guard Zach Cook sent in a "three" and a pair of free throws for a Hayes Center team that shot a mind-boggling 13-for-15 from the line in the fourth quarter. Perkins County scared itself by shooting just 5-for-14 from the free throw line in the final frame. Both Chase Miyamoto and Tim Johnson intercepted passes in the closing minutes to keep the Plainsmen on top. Cook finished with 15 points; Quinton Hite led Perkins County producers with 14. Hite returned from halftime on fire, hitting a deep three pointer, breaking away with a layup and redeeming a steal for a point as Perkins County piled up a 42-25 third quarter lead. Hite also lasered a pass to Colton White for a breakaway layup after stealing a dribble. Forward Taylor Walker notched a field goal and two free throws and Kasey Schwenk scored his only three points on one shot for the Cardinals to check Perkins County's lead at 16 points after three quarters. Blake Poppe dominated Hayes Center with seven consecutive points in the second quarter. Poppe banged to the basket for a three-point play, stroked a mid-land jumper and backed from baseline-to-block to give Perkins County a 28-13 lead. Hayes Center cut its deficit to 10 points at halftime as swing forward Seth Gohl's second three pointer of the game offset a triple from Quinton Hite and made the score 33-23. Alex Johnston and Sexson teamed up to pull Perkins County into the lead after one period of play. Sexson bombed a three-quarter court pass to Johnston for a breakaway layup and buzzed through the lane for a finger-roll layup himself. Johnston glanced one off the glass from his left hip and intercepted a pass that set up a Tim Johnson layup for a 16-11 Plainsmen lead. Hayes Center guard Johnson's layup and following score from a steal gave the Cardinals a 9-6 advantage midway through the first quarter. The Plainsmen shot a healthy 50 percent (24-for-48) from the floor for the game.Next Action The 13-9 Plainsmen visit Hershey on Friday for their final regular season game.

Hi - what about this jacket makes it not suitable for diving or even snorkeling? - Lars -
Hello Lars, yes you would be able to use this for either scuba diving or snorkeling.

If you would like to place an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.

Hello Javits, the sizing chart for this item is different from there normal sizing chart. This is a unisex sizing. Going by your sizing I would suggest a size large. This is made of a super-stretch material so a few inches here or them is not a big deal.

Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants of the grass family. Some of its members are giant bamboo, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world: up to three to four feet a day. This accelerated growth rate allows bamboo to be harvested in three to five years, far more often than the 10 to 20 year harvest cycle of most softwoods. Unlike the environmental damage caused by the deforestation of trees, proper harvesting of bamboo leaves the root system intact, creating little or no topsoil disruption. This renewable, sustainable resource produces 35% more oxygen than its equivalent in trees while reducing carbon dioxide gas that is blamed for global warming. With the tensile strength of steel, it's the strongest growing woody plant in the world.

Ooh. That really makes me itch to make a Zork map.
I know these maps, and this game (Dragonrealms) very well...I played it for 7 years. Salius and I did maps way back in the beginning (1994ish) but his were nicer. The game got to be freakin huge with a few thousand people on at any one time and the inrush of punks and sleepwalkers (using programs to level up instead of do it themself) became very annoying but mostly because paladins had little recourse against thieves (paladins take a soul hit for fighting other players and it takes forever to fix that but thieves can steal you blind on a barge trip across a river). I've still got about 50 maps laying around in my desk drawer.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

I'm making some improvements on my Winchester M70 30-06. I ordered a McMillan custom stock (which will take up to 4 months to get), and I upgraded to a VX3 3.5-10x50 scope which I'm sending in for an M1 turret. Got a trigger job too.
I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on or experience with having their action trued? I'll have a good smith install the stock and I'm thinking about having him true up the action. Ideas on what kind of accuracy improvement I can expect? Anyone had it done? Thanks!

Road Trip To The Bonneville Salt Flats - Destination: Bonneville - Expanded For WebWritten by on January 30, 2009 Contributors: The Rod & Custom Staff, Aaron Kahan Rod & Custom's 2008 Road Trip To Speedweek
In the eighth issue of Rod & Custom, December 1953, editor Spence Murray recounted the story of his road trip to the fifth celebration of SpeedWeek on the Bonneville salt flats. It wasn't a large convoy, just Lou Bingham in a '27 T roadster pickup with a '32 coupe on the towbar and Spence riding shotgun. It was an adventure to say the least.
We'd been eager to do a road trip of our own but, as you may know, we like to travel with an entourage, so editor Kevin Lee announced our plans and invited you to join us on the journey. Hollywood Hot Rods in Burbank was our rendezvous spot early Thursday morning. Troy opened up the shop to our curious eyes and provided coffee, OJ, and donuts. While we were in the area, we slipped next door to check out Bobby Green's and Lucky Burton's Old Crow Speed Shop. We could have spent a lot more time at these two shops, but we had some miles to cover so we hit the road.
One hundred miles later, we were in Bakersfield for a tour of the Kiwi Konnection shop. From there, it was a hot ride through in California's Central Valley to Fresno, but worth the trip if you're heading to John Lawson Motorsports. John and a few of his crew opened their doors and showed us around his incredible collection of early Fords. Each one is ready to go at a moment's notice depending on what mood John is in that day-and when you have one of every body-style '32 Ford there's sure to be one that suits his mood. Once we had our jaws back off the floor we headed on to Oakhurst for the evening and were greeted by the Coarsegold Cruisers club, which filled the motel lawn with some great-looking rods and customs.
Friday morning, we drove north into the heart of California gold country. We stopped in Columbia, which is a surviving 19th century gold rush town that is a landmark and historic park today. While part of our crowd explored this preserved old town, others used the break in travel to do some parking lot repairs on their cars.
One of the most enjoyable elements of these cruises is the hospitality we get from people we've never met before but who share our common interest in old cars. After Columbia we made our way to the Hogan Dam Lookout which overlooks New Hogan Lake. The Foothill Classics car club was waiting for us there with a bunch of their hot rods and a fantastic barbecue feast.
With our bellies full we headed to South Lake Tahoe for the night, hit the buffets, and tried to hold onto our money in the casinos. The next morning, we were greeted with fantastic weather and couldn't leave town without making a cruise around the lake, one of the most beautiful spots in California, and some good morning exercise for cooling systems and carburetors.
It was out of the mountains and into the heat as we hit Carson City, where we had a free lunch at Subway and then checked out the antique locomotives, both restored and unrestored, at the Nevada State Railroad Museum.
We had been running a little ahead of schedule so we made a last-minute stop in Fallon to visit one more extensive collection of American iron, hidden from the public. It was then a mad dash to Winnemucca to see our friends at the Flying A Garage who were waiting for us with barbecue tri-tip and a tour of the car collection.
As much as we hated to see our road trip come to an end, we arrived in Wendover, Utah, eager for the week ahead. The salt was 5 miles away.

1931 Ford Roadster Pickup
I'd never been to Bonneville and everything just seemed to work out this year. I was going to drive up by myself, when I heard about this trip. It turned out to be one of the best vacations I've ever had.
The distance and some traffic conditions made it difficult for everybody to remain in an intact group at times. That worked as a benefit, because people ended up pairing up with other cars to travel at comfortable speeds. To me, meeting other people is part of this whole thing, so I made a point of hanging out or having dinner with different people every day-and I made some lasting friendships.
I was also amazed at how many people I ran into who I already knew. I've known Jim Shelton for a long time. I had met Dennis with the '32 Tudor sedan at Del Mar, and talked to him again at the L.A. Roadster Show. Then he shows up on this trip. I was also surprised at how big some of the car clubs are up there in the Sierras.
I stayed on the salt until Wednesday, helping my friend Pete Aardema with his car until I had to get back. Even so, I came home a back way.

1934 Plymouth Coupe
There are two great things about having a hot rod. One is the time in the garage working on it. The other is taking trips. I saw the magazine write-up, but didn't think I would get to go. Alan Kahan kept telling me about it, so I decided to do one or two nights. Once I got out there with this awesome group of people, there was no way I could turn around. I hadn't done any cruising through gold country and the mountain roads, so when we got to Tahoe, I said, "I can't go home now." I got to Winnemucca and couldn't turn around there. We visited places I never would've seen otherwise-like John Lawson's in Fresno and the Kiwi Konnection-and meeting the Foothill Classics club at Hogan Dam, and seeing that great collection in Fallon. Everybody greeted us with hospitality.
I ran into some nice people out on the salt flats, too. Chris King from Montana had a '34 Dodge pickup pushing a '31 Dodge roadster-so me having a Plymouth, it's like we were in the same club, and I had a great time in their pit area. I got to watch a few cars make a run, and headed home on Monday.
Dennis Johnston
Lake Havasu City, Arizona
1932 Ford Tudor Sedan
I had heard from several people who had been on road trips that it was the most fun in the world, so I decided that when the opportunity came along I would jump at it. It's the farthest I've driven in the Tudor. I made a test run to the L.A. Roadster Show in June to see if there were any problems I needed to know about-all part of getting ready for the road trip to Bonneville.
We had a good size group, but it was not so big that we couldn't go into a restaurant together. You start to realize that it's more about the people than the cars sometimes. There are people I met during the week who I'll be friends with from now on.
It was refreshing that the activities weren't the same every day. We went to a train museum and a gold mining town, as well as the rod shops and car collections. Winnemucca was great. I even enjoyed the times we just stopped at the lookout points.
We stayed out on the salt for five days, all day every day, and left Friday morning. I thought it was a wonderful trip, and I'm proud of my car for not letting me down.
Alan Kahan
Marina Del Rey, California
1929 Ford Roadster
In 1953, my family took a major road trip, and coming back through Elko, Nevada, we stopped at the Stockmen's Hotel to look at this big stuffed polar bear in the casino. On this trip, we were heading through Elko, so I said, "Guys, we've got to stop and see this bear." And we found it-still there and identical to the way I remembered it. The only one excited or impressed was me, but to me it was recapturing something special from 55 years ago.
The roadster has been on several long trips. I prefer traveling with a group because it's good to have someone else around if the car breaks down-and because I like the companionship. What made this trip the most fun was traveling with my family-my son and grandson, and my grandson's other grandfather. We had a great time.
The stops were magnificent. Seeing the Kiwi Konnection and Squeak Bell's shop in Bakersfield, and John Lawson's collection in Fresno was amazing. The trip was filled with generous people-Tom Christian in Carson City, who fed us at the Subway sandwich shop in Carson City, and the members of the Foothill Classics car club in Lake Hogan, who also fed us, brought out their cars, and even gave us goody bags.

Age 9
Burbank, California
Interviewed by Dad-Aaron Kahan
Dad - You've driven in my old cars since you were a baby. What was different about riding in Grandpa Alan's '29 roadster without a roof?
Benjamin- I like how it was open and that you can see all around you.
D. - What did you think of Bonneville?
B. - It was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was hot and bright and I just had to touch it. I couldn't stop myself, I just had to taste it, so I picked up a chunk of salt and put it to my tongue. It was the saltiest thing I have ever tasted! I immediately spit it out and tried to wash the horrible taste out of my mouth with water.
D. - What was your favorite part of the trip?
B. - Going into the water at Lake Tahoe, panning for gold, and riding on the top of a stagecoach next to the driver in Columbia. Walking around the pits and watching the racing at Bonneville. Eating my Subway salami sandwich on the salt.
D. - What was your favorite thing you got to do that you hadn't done before?
B. - Swimming in Lake Tahoe and riding Tyrell's mini bike. After that I was obsessed with riding that mini bike!
D. - You kept mileage each day. What was your total?
B. - 1,835 miles.
D. - Would you do it again?
B. - Absolutely yes!
If you're unfamiliar with the small desert town of Winnemucca, you will soon find yourself having the urge to take a road trip along Interstate 80 which runs through Northern Nevada. Whether you're driving from California or Utah, your target destination will be the Flying A Garage, which sits next to the site of the soon-to-be-constructed America's Car Collection museum. This'll be home to the world's most impressive collection of mainly '50s-through-'70s-era hot rods, customs, drag cars, muscle cars, and related memorabilia. I've been watching from the sidelines and hearing through the grapevine what Ralph Whitworth has been collecting over the last few years. It's been pretty interesting and exciting to see all these cars end up with one owner. At first I found it a bit strange and kind of a bummer that all these cars were going to be kept in a location that seemed like the middle of nowhere. But on second thought I think it's just plain amazing that Whitworth cares enough to collect, preserve, and display all this for us to study first hand.
I first became familiar with Whitworth when I attended RM Auctions' The Originators auction back in 2006. I was fortunate to be an insider at this event and wished one person or organization would buy the entire collection and donate it to a museum. One of the most anticipated moments of this auction (which was most of The Brucker Collection) was when Von Dutch's Paint Box sold for over $300,000. When the gavel came down I wondered who it was who was so determined to take the paint box home. Later that day I had a brief introduction to Whitworth, who is on a mission to collect the best of the best in historic hot rods and customs. He also had plans to take on the huge task and responsibility of opening a museum in Winnemucca, Nevada. My first thoughts were why Winnemucca and where's Winnemucca? It turns out that's where he grew up with his buddy Dave Bengochea, and these gearheads' plan is to give something back to their old stomping ground and in effect put their small town on the big-time map.
After that weekend I realized that unfortunately the Brucker collection of Kustom Kulture hadn't stayed intact, but that a large state-of-the-art museum will soon house a collection of our history like no one has done before. This summer I was able to visit their restoration facility, the Flying A Garage, which is completed and in full operation, as well as their storage facility for part of the collection. For this year's celebration of the 60th anniversary of Bonneville SpeedWeek, the Flying A Garage was turned into a temporary museum for their first special exhibit, Bonneville: The Pursuit of Speed.
The R&C road trip pack arrived in Winnemucca on Sunday, August 17, just in time to check out this exhibit and partake in an open house/impromptu car show and barbeque that was thrown by the museum with assistance from a local car club, the Fuelers, and the eight-person Flying A crew. I was starving but just couldn't concentrate on eating because I was overloaded with the juxtaposition of a sampling of the most historic speed machines displayed in the new 6,600-square-foot, climate-controlled, full-functioning restoration shop. The first thing that caught my eye was Tom Cobb's amazingly preserved and recently found '29 Ford roadster which was surrounded by a display of ultra-rare speed equipment. Out back behind the Flying A Garage the storage garages were open, exposing an unbelievable assortment of cars like Roth's Road Agent, Tony Nancy's roadster, and the Deora. If you know your hot rod history, a large portion is in the Whitworth collection.
Lucky for us, Ralph Whitworth's success as a business investor has allowed him to amass this mind-numbing collection which to date numbers somewhere between 200-300 vehicles and an enormous amount of speed equipment and related memorabilia. The Flying A Garage is managed by Dave Bengochea, who has a capable restoration staff that can handle anything from minor mechanical repairs to concourse-quality restoration on-site. Even though Winnemucca has been off the radar for most of us, I have a sneaky suspicion that is about to change.

We were greeted in Oakhurst by the Coarsegold Cruisers hot rod club, which filled the motel lawn with some great-looking rods and customs. What a great way to end the day.On Friday, the Foothill Classics car club showed off their amazing hospitality by treating us to a picnic at the Hogan Dam Lookout, including barbecue, homemade cakes, and even goody bags with some T-shirts donated by Olympic Tune Street Rods Plus. They treated us like rock stars-or family members. The view of the lake was amazing, and the view of the parking lot full of hot rods wasn't too bad either. Thanks to all of you.Not many people have had the privilege of touring John Lawson's amazing private collection of cars, engines, motorcycles, and other machinery. We counted something like three dozen finished cars, all in immaculate condition and ready to hit the road when the urge hits.The local lunchtime crowd is probably used to seeing hot rods in front of Tom Christian's Subway sandwich shop in Carson City. Tom generously treated our entire group to lunch. He and his friends drive some cool traditional-style rods, including five of our favorites, featured elsewhere in this magazine. They always make the trip to SpeedWeek and we were proud to have them rolling with us.The party was already under way when we got to Winnemucca. Ralph Whitworth's Flying A Garage is the home of the America's Car Collection Museum. The barbecue tri-tip, live music, and crowds of people were great but we were there to see Ralph's collection of famous race and show cars.Who can sleep during SpeedWeek? After-hours in Wendover, the action shifts from the salt flats to the asphalt outside of the Nugget Hotel.
The official pace car of the road trip was this '50 Ford, owned by George Poteet and generously loaned to R&C's Kevin Lee for the trip. The Ford must have been nervous about going onto the salt, and developed a clutch problem in Winnemucca the morning we were heading out. It couldn't have happened in a better spot, because we were able to leave it in Larry Tregellas' hands at the Flying A Garage where it was fixed in time for Kevin's trip to Pleasanton. They even loaned him their shop dualie to take to the salt. He asked for the Druid Princess but there wasn't enough room for the luggage.An unexpected stop and a trip down a private dirt driveway in Fallon, Nevada, took us to Fallon Engine Service, and the car and parts collection of Louis Cote. Louis let us tour several buildings full of mid-Thirties Fords and an astonishing assortment of parts. The sights outside could have kept us busy for a while as well.

FALL CHURCH, Va. (WUSA) - A well-known Baltimore midwife has been indicted on involuntary manslaughter charges in Virginia after a baby she tried to deliver from a breech position died shortly after birth. The baby's head became stuck in the birth canal, and he suffocated.
A grand jury in Alexandria also indicted Karen Carr on charges of child abuse, neglect and acting without a license.
Carr has delivered more than 1,200 babies. Her attorney, John Kenneth Swerling, says many of the births Carr has assisted in are complicated deliveries, such as breech positions.
She was certified to practice in Maryland but not Virginia.
Her lawyer says the 43-year-old first-time mother hired Carr after an Alexandria midwife-practice advised against a home-birth, because the baby's breech position could cause complications.
"I'm flabbergasted. This could have been prevented. This didn't need to happen," said OB-GYN Dr. Glenna Andersen. She said the mother should have come to hospital and delivered the baby by cesarean section.
"I would prefer to deliver babies vaginally...but there are times when c-sections are just right thing to do," said Andersen.
Morgan Hanzlik is a home birth advocate who knows Karen Carr and says she did nothing wrong.
"Karen did everything in her power to bring that baby into this world," said Hanzlik. Hanzlik had a c-section with her third son Austin because of several complications. She says she would've liked to have had another home birth. Her first child Zachary was delivered by c-section in a hospital. But she delivered her second child, Luke in her own bedroom.
"My experience was, it was easy, it was safe. No complications," Hanzlik said.
She had what's called a V-BAC, vaginal birth after cesarean and many doctors will not do it because of the risk of uterine rupture.
The mother in the case of midwife Karen Carr didn't want to have a c-section either. Since Carr had experience, the mother decided to use her services in a home birth, according to Carr's attorney.
Dr. Anderson says gynecologists rarely deliver breech babies because of the risks. She says c-sections are by far safer than a home birth.
"I don't believe home births meet the standard of care in gynecology."
Andersen says doctors are advised to not perform breech deliveries because of the risk and the lack of expertise in the practice.

Simple Sesame Chicken Wing Recipe
Pack Your Picnic With Sticky Sesame Chicken Wings
During the Summer, there is nothing better than an afternoon picnic at a local park. I am always on the lookout for something to replace boring picnic sandwiches. These sesame chicken wings are delicious both warm and at room temperature, making them a perfect choice to pack in your cooler.
I cooked the chicken in the oven, but you could easily use a barbecue. Definitely set aside some of the scrumptious sauce and once the chicken is cooked, coat them in a little extra! The addition of toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions provides crunch and depth of flavor. Have your napkins ready for these tasty chicken wings and get the recipe by reading more.
Adapted from Gourmet
Sticky Sesame Chicken Wings
1 large garlic clove
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons mild honey
1 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
Pinch of cayenne
2 lb chicken wingettes or chicken wings
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, lightly toasted
1 scallion (green part only), finely chopped
- Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large shallow baking pan (17 by 12 inches) with foil and lightly oil foil.
- Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt using a large heavy knife. Transfer garlic paste to a large bowl and stir in soy sauce, hoisin, honey, oil, and cayenne. Set aside a quarter of the sauce, to coat the wings once cooked. Use the rest of the sauce and add wingettes, stirring to coat.
- Arrange wingettes in 1 layer in baking pan and roast, turning over once, until cooked through, about 35 minutes.
- Transfer wingettes to a large serving bowl and toss with sesame seeds and scallion.

Hello, dear cartographers.
Here I am, not asking only for a cartographer or a map, but also for a creative team!
I've been working on the Midétaphos project for... Over 5 years.
All alone in a really slow pace. Now, however I am working on the 1st romance taking place on the Midétaphos setting and I know it will become an international succes amongst the nerds around this world, I just know it! And this romance will be the initial step for more romances, a P&P RPG book and futurely videogames and movies.
However I am not a cartographer. I, for some reason, can't understand the way rivers work, so need as much help as I can get when it comes to geography. Of course, I'd be very happy with someone simply helping me make my maps, but I am willing to pay anyone who makes these maps for me.
As I said, this is the project of my life. It will involve many works, and therefore, many maps.
So, if some of you take this request, and it gets really good. I'd like to, if you want, maintain contact and see if I can trust you enough to let all serious map-making of this project in your hands, paying you, of course, per map done.
Also, if you choos to keep up with the project after this first map, expect me to be kind of annoying xD.
Project Scope:
Midétaphos is a fantasy world, that in wich, in the first romance, is like the typical medieval fantasy you see out there. There will be, however, romances in a futuristic midetaphos, with cars, guns, computers and maybe even spaceships.
Midétaphos is a world created by the only 3 surviving Kalasir after the end of the world that have recieved from The Maker the power to rearange what was left on the world they lived in.
They created 4 worlds, and one of them was Midétaphos wich by then was half the size of Earth. They populated the world with angels and other minor creatures, but then something unexpected happened.
A meteor of pure chaos hitted Midétaphos. A part of the meteor broke, giving origin to the world of the demons, but most of the meteor united with the planet, doubling it's size!
After the colision, humans and elves were spontaniously born, and the kalasir, scared as they were, brought death to all creatures in the world that were not angels. But these new creatures were stubborn and started reproducing themselves.
The kalasir then, put the world in quarentine, and created another planet, where the souls of the dead would be trapt , never to infect the other worlds with it's chaocity.
By the time of the 1st novel, the world is mainly controlled by humans on the west and by elves on the east. That is, within the limits of the known world.
Maps needed:
For Now I need a world map on the actual geography of Midétaphos, and a political map concerning the known world.
Geo-political descryption:
Just as much of our maps are centralized in Europe, Midetaphos should have most of it's maps centralized in Caedaphos.
Caedaphos is an archipelago of various islands surrouding a main island just above the northern tropical line (considering that this world has the same astronomical proportions as Earth). Caedaphos' main island should have it's area size close to the Iberian Peninsula's. There is also a gigantic volcano at the middle of it, beeing around 20000 feet tall and occupying an area bigger than New York City's.
At the west of caedaphos there is the continent of Vortheim, divided in 4 parts: A big and icy region to the north, a small line of earth conecting the northern area with the sorthern area (like central america), the big southern parn with lots of mountains and big lakes in it, and a big peninsula invasind the south pole's ice.
At the southeast of Caedaphos there's Veinia. A continent that looks mor like south america and africa. Not many plateaus, only a fir ammout so it's not weird. Some lakes and dense forests, until you get closer to the souther tropical line, and gets to the Sahamat Desert. The greatest desert in the world. This desert is surrounded by small savannah-like areas.
Further to the south there's also a peninsula that conects to Vortheim's on the south pole.
At the east of veinia, however, there's a great ammout of mountains taller than the Everest that the Kalasir created to prevent the chaos from etering their world in vain.
At the north of Veinia and Caedaphos, there's yet another archipelago, with less islands, but the main island having a very irregular form and a size apoximated to Autralia's. This is the archipelago of Bei-Hong, And even though having the main island as big as Australia, a big perfectly circular lake occupies 50% of the island. And this lake is surrounded by very tall mountains (around 15000 I believe).
And more than that, well, Idk what to put on the other side of Veinia's mountains! Another continent perhaps?
Early designs and other descryptions:
I have the early ideas for the Vortheim continent and a world map that I "made" on Fractal Terrains
They're on the attachments. I would like to mix the characteristics of both Vortheim continents (the most western one on the Fractal Terrains map). And through my other descryption I guess what I want to mix .
Those 3 islands on the fractal terrains map should be the Caedaphos Archipealgo. I didn't like them much, tough.
And the mountains dividint the Veinia continent in half should be a lot more rough.
Also, I forgot to design the Bei-Hong Islands xD. Any format is good really, but the form of a 4 pointed star with 4 other islands making the other points of the star would be epic.
Also... I don't like the land>water proportion. I'd preffer this proportion to be more like earth!
Style, quality and size:
The world map is only for refference. It doesn't need much detail, but it has got to be... big. Really big. 2500 minimun height
The map of the known world, I am looking for something in the style of the ancient era/medieval era. highlighting the Caedaphos Empire. I will however, only discuss what is the known world after seeing the world map done. But I do intend on printing it (1 meter x Y meters) and I'd preffer it to be a bitmap image, so I can put the cities anywhere I want.
Time Constrains:
Take your time. Making these maps will involve a lot of work and discussion.
I'd preffer not to register it yet. I futurally will be, registering it, but for now, let's just keep this map for ourselves . When the 1st novel is released all the proper credits will be given to the cartographer and it may use the map on his portfolio after that.
I will pay R$50,00 (50 BRL) through paypal for the world map, but the payment for the other map depends on the selling of the 1st novel.
And 50 BRL is a lot of money! So it better be good u.u

Nine PCC Football Players Now Signed With 4-Year Universities
Pasadena City College head football coach Fred Fimbres announced that seven more players have signed 4-year university scholarships to raise the number to nine 2013 Lancers who have moved on to the next level.
The latest crop of signings is headed by offensive lineman and All-SCFA National Northern Conference First Team selection Raul Martinez (Burbank Burroughs High), who has inked his name with NCAA Division I Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. Martinez, a 6-foot-3, 265-pounder was a two-year starter at guard for the Lancers. Old Dominion is a member of Conference USA.
Linebacker Javon McElroy-Bradford accepted a scholarship to attend/play at the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff. McElroy-Bradford (Washington Prep, Los Angeles) was second on the '13 Lancers in tackles with 53 and added two forced fumbles.
Three PCC offensive linemen have been signed by Langston University, a NAIA college in Oklahoma. Joining the '13 Central States Football League conference champions are guard Jose Montes De Oca (6-3, 300, Garfield High), guard Konelio Maino (6-1, 315, Taft Union) and tackle Lester Quintana (6-2, 275, Burroughs). Paul An, Langston's offensive line coach who recruited the trio, is a PCC football alumnus and was a member of the 2001 Mission Conference champion Lancers.
Wide receiver Reggie Williams (Crenshaw High) is at NAIA Briar Cliff University (Sioux City, Iowa) while linebacker/fullback Kevin Tapia (South Pasadena HS) is attending Whittier College on an academic scholarship.
Including Dalyou Pierson (Iowa State) and Miguel Machado (Michigan State), Fimbres' sophomore list of college transfers is climbing. PCC carried 27 sophomores overall in the '13 season.
"There are more to come," Fimbres said. "Several players are entertaining offers and some others are trying to get their educational needs and requirements squared away before moving from PCC. We're proud of these transfers."
[Photo--Javon McElroy-Bradford (44) is one of nine Lancers thus far from the 2013 team to earn a scholarship to a 4-year university.]

Picking up where they left off
SPOKANE, Wash. - The snow has covered Spokane, the home of No. 21 Gonzaga and the site of West Virginia University's men's basketball regular season opener.
Now, Mountaineer coach Bob Huggins is hoping his Monday midnight made-for-TV matchup against the 1-0 Zags will cover up last season's 77-54 NCAA tournament loss to the hosts.
"Last year, they beat us in transition," Huggins said. "We did a very poor job of running offense and they pretty much just made shots. [Gonzaga coach] Mark Few said it was their best shooting all year."
For WVU, though, it's a fresh start. Gone is all-Big East selection Kevin Jones. Gone is guard Truck Bryant. Gone is, well, the Big East, replaced by a Big 12 conference schedule.
In are transfers like 6-foot-10 junior Aaric Murray, who sat out last season after transferring from La Salle; 6-1 sophomore guard Juwan Staten, who sat out last season after transferring from Dayton; and 6-5 senior guard Matt Humphrey, who transferred from Boston College and is immediately eligible.
They join veterans like 6-9 Deniz Kilicli, who led WVU in scoring with 19 points in the team's 95-53 exhibition victory over Glenville State. Staten was next with 16 points. Still, Huggins wasn't happy.
"We need to run better offense," said the coach. "We need to take care of the ball. We need to rebound so much better. Way, way, way better."
Gonzaga lost center Robert Sacre, who was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers with the last pick of the 2012 NBA Draft, from last year's team. But it seems he's been replaced nicely by Few.
In the Zags' season opener on Friday, 7-1 freshman Przemek Karnowski from Poland scored 22 points in a 103-65 win over Southern Utah.
He joins a veteran team that returns four starters from a year ago: Elias Harris, Kevin Pangos, Gary Bell, Jr. and Mike Hart.
Gonzaga is seeking its 15th straight NCAA tournament appearance and is the preseason pick to win the West Coast Conference.
"Their style isn't going to change from last year's game," Huggins said. "They'll try to push it up the floor. Their guards can really shoot. They try to stretch you. They're really skilled; they can make shots."
WVU, meanwhile, had trouble converting 3-point shots last season and hit just 7.1 percent against Glenville.
"We were 1-for-14," Huggins said. "But Louisville was 1-of-19 against Bellarmine. We'll shoot it a lot better."
"We've got a chance," said the Mountaineer coach. "We've got to do a better job running the offense, rebounding the ball and taking care of the ball, but we've got a chance."
The game will be televised by ESPN beginning at 11:59 p.m. ET. For complete postgame coverage, visit the Gazette's website at www.wvgazette.com early Tuesday or Wednesday's newspaper edition.

Trish C., a Receiving Exceptions Coordinator, was recently recognized as the recipient of the MOQ (Merchandiser of the Quarter) award for Q4. It is given quarterly to an individual who consistently goes above and beyond what is asked to make everyone's life a little bit easier and a whole lot more awesome. We caught up with Trish and she shared some thoughts on the award and her shrewd thrifting skills, among other things. She has a big heart, a warm personality and is a real team player. It's easy to see why Trish was recognized for the MOQ award!
Congratulations, Trish! How does it feel to be recognized by your Content peeps?
TC: I love Content! Each department at Zappos is entwined in some way or another, but I like to think of Content as being one of my closest siblings. It is such an honor to have them say I'm a superstar!
You are part of a very unique team as a Receiving Exceptions Coordinator. Can you briefly describe what you do and how it relates to the Content and Merch departments?
TC: Briefly? Oy. LOL! Basically, I communicate very closely with our fulfillment centers to ensure that product that gets stuck in the system somewhere gets resolved as quickly and painlessly as possible. Product comes in that either wasn't ordered, doesn't have a PO (purchase order) attached to it, is the wrong color or isn't even in our system. I work with both Content and Merchandising to figure out what it is, why we have it and where it goes.
Share with us the single most crazy-busy day you have experienced so far at Zappos and how you persevered, WOWing those around you.
TC: I am nothing without my Peeps... and the ZCafe! These are the things that keep me sane. Crazy-busy day? With 333 unassigned tickets in our queue, every day is a crazy-busy day! LOL!
What is the coolest thing you've ever acquired from a garage sale?
TC: Probably one of the coolest things I've ever gotten at a garage sale would be an electrical insulator bought for $2 that I turned around and sold for $2500! Wooohoooo!
As a fan of the written word, which book has offered the greatest impact in your life?
TC: The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
Finally, the big question! NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, actress Alyson Hannigan and actor Steve McQueen all share a birthday with you. Of these three, whom would you most like to meet and why?
TC: Steve McQueen would be my choice. He was a great actor, he drove a motorcycle and he starred in epic films like The Blob (1958)!

Houston in the limelight
November 16, 2013 - LM Editorial
Houston, Texas – the fourth-largest city in the United States and home to a port which ranks first in the United States in international commerce – plays host to the 106th annual meeting of The National Industrial Transportation League (NITL) this week.
The event comes on the heels of a visit by Vice President Joe Biden, who came to the Port of Houston to champion the Obama administration efforts to improve seaport facilities in anticipation of Panama Canal expansion.
Houston is the tenth-largest port in the world by volume, and is playing an increasingly important role in America's rebirth as a producer of energy-related exports.
This thriving ocean cargo gateway also accounts for more than one million jobs in Texas – an estimated $179 billion in economic activity and $4.5 billion in tax revenue for state and local authorities.
The NITL Conference and TransComp Exhibition is the nation's leading multi-modal freight transportation event combining timely and comprehensive educational sessions and must attend networking opportunities with innovative and cutting edge exhibits all designed to meet the needs of today's freight transportation professional.
Houston, is appears, is the perfect venue for this year's show.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Fred Davis is reportedly heading back to the
Washington Redskins.
According to the Washington Post, the free agent tight end has agreed to a
one-year contract with the Redskins after visiting the Buffalo Bills earlier
this week.
Davis played the 2012 season under a franchise tag and had his year cut short
in October due to an Achilles injury. He was hurt in a Week 7 game against the
New York Giants and missed the remainder of the season.
The 27-year-old USC product was the Redskins' leading receiver at the time of
his injury and finished his fifth season with 24 catches for 325 yards.
Davis has 155 receptions for 1,973 yards with 12 touchdowns in 62 games -- all
with the Redskins.

Tallahassee, FL - At last check more than eight million people in the entire Northeast are without power.
Our own sports director, Jason Hurst, has not been able to get a hold of his family in Connecticut since Monday night. And just this afternoon WCTV interviewed a woman via Skype who was born and raised in Tallahassee, but lives in New York now.
Christina Subramani lives just outside of Manhattan, where she works, and says she has not been able to get to work for days.
"Right now I believe I heard on the news that they are going to supplement with buses to take commuters into Manhattan that work there but I'm trying to wait on the final information on that and if my office is actually open tomorrow," said Subramani.
Subramani lives in Astoria and sent in pictures of the damage in her area. She tells WCTV she is not experiencing any flooding in that area but she is seeing a lot of wind damage.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The No. 23 Iowa State women's basketball team (4-0, 0-0 Big 12) hits the road to Las Vegas, Nev., to take on Eastern Washington and Auburn in the South Point Shootout from Nov. 29-30. Iowa State looks to improve to 6-0 for the first time since the 2001-02 season.
Cyclone Headlines
- Iowa State is looking for its best start in 11 years if it improves to 6-0 in the two-game Las Vegas outing. The last time the Cyclones were 6-0 was the 2001-02 season. Iowa State will face Eastern Washington on Friday and Auburn on Saturday in the South point Shootout.
- In ISU's game against the Cincinnati Bearcats Head Coach bill Fennelly coached his 800th-career game in his 26-year head coaching career. Fennelly boasts a 400-182 (.685) record at Iowa State and a 566-235 overall as a head coach. The win over the Drake Bulldogs on Sunday marked Fennelly's 400th win as the head coach of the Cyclones.
- Iowa State dropped one spot to No. 23 in the Associated Press poll after a 2-0 week on the road where the Cyclones handed a 78-42 loss to Cincinnati and an 89-47 loss to Drake. The Cyclones rank No.15 in the USA Today Coaches poll. This is the 13th-straight time Iowa State has been ranked in the AP or USA Today polls.
- Iowa State is one of just 42 teams in the country with an undefeated record. The Cyclones sit at 4-0 entering the South Point Shootout.
- Senior forward Hallie Christofferson is averaging 26.8 points and 8.5 rebounds through four games this season. Her 26.8 points per game ranks fourth nationally and second in the Big 12.
The Iowa State starting lineup consists of a senior, two juniors and two freshmen, with Jadda Buckley and Seanna Johnson joining last year's returners in Nikki Moody, Christofferson and Brynn Williamson. Iowa State is one of just four Big 12 schools this season that have started at least one freshman and one of three schools to have multiple freshman in the starting lineup. Only two teams in the AP Top 25 have started two freshmen in every game this season.
- This will be the first meeting between the Cyclones and Eastern Washington and the second meeting between ISU and Auburn. The Cyclones and Tigers met in December of 2001 in San Diego for the Surf and Slam Hoop Classic. The game resulted in an 80-75 overtime victory for the Cyclones.
- The Cyclones are averaging 84.8 points per game, which ranks 22nd nationally, and holding opponents to just 54.0 points, which ranks 20th nationally. Iowa State is shooting 47.0 percent from the field and also holding opponents to 34.7 percent. The Cyclones defense is also forcing an average of 16.0 turnovers per game.
- Iowa State continues its impressive showing at the free-throw line, ranking second nationally shooting 86 percent at the line. ISU led the nation last year in free-throw shooting making 86.3 percent.
Last Time Out
- Iowa State continued its winning ways with an 42-point victory over the Drake Bulldogs, 89-47. The Cyclones 42-point victory margin matches the second-largest in series history (87-45 in 2012). The win improved Iowa State to 4-0 for the eighth time under head Coach Fennelly.
- Hallie Christofferson led the Cyclones with 25 points, with freshman Seanna Johnson netting a career-high 14 points and 11 rebounds for her first double-double.
- The win over Drake was an all-out team effort as a season-high four players nabbed double-digit scoring efforts and seven different players knocked down a three-pointer.

Scouting Auburn
- The Tigers enter the South Point Shootout with a 3-2 record after defeating Georgia Southern, Jacksonville State and Alabama A&M, but falling to Temple and Chattanooga. Both the Tigers' losses came on the road.

Week 3: Padan Fain vs. Lan
Posted 29 January 2012 - 02:46 PM
Write-up by: Despothera
The Contestants
Al'Lan Mandragoran
Age: 50s
Race: human
Weapon: blade forged with the One Power
Special: Warder-enhanced speed, endurance, and agility
Padan Fain
Age: unknown (was a Darkfriend for over 40 years)
Race: human(ish)
Weapon: dagger from Shadar Logoth
Special: merged with Mordeth
The Breakdown
Lan: Unequaled in skill with the blade, immeasurable courage, epic grudge against the Shadow
Fain: Able to manipulate Mashadar, can control Shadowspawn, other odd and unidentifiable abilities
Lan: Puts himself in the path of danger too often, has a deathwish
Fain: Pretty much as mentally unstable as they come
How we think the fight will go:
The chaotic pitch of battle filled the area, only occasional frantic screams able to pierce the din. The battlefield stretched across a large swath of Tarwin's Gap, and both ally and foe fell by the score. Men fighting afoot had to struggle to keep from sliding on blood as they fought tooth and nail against Trollocs, and Myrddraal stalked through the fields, death flowing from their swords which moved with sinuous grace through the crowd.
Lan finished off his enemy and stumbled forward slightly, the exertion of battle getting to him. For the battle to have gone on long enough to tire Lan's Warder-enhanced endurance surprised the veteran Gaidin. He figured the force he rode into this Light-forsaken Blight would not have held out nearly as long, yet his arms felt they could only hold his sword up moments longer. His breath came out in ragged gasps as he raised his head, quickly scanning his surroundings.
Surprisingly, there was not an enemy focused on him for fifty feet. Almost from the beginning of the conflict the fighting had been thickest around him, as if the Shadow had been frantic to get him off the field first. Lan stood up straighter and began to scan more of the battlefield to see how the rest of his forces were holding up, when a voice rattled through the air and chilled Lan's spine as he heard it.
"You certainly have an uncanny ability to survive long past your due, Gaidin." The last word came out as if it were a scathing insult. Padan Fain stood facing Lan, oblivious to the battle around him. "I can identify with that. This time, however, I'm afraid there will be no last-minute heroics. I have tried everything I could think of to attract Rand al'Thor's attention, but I have a feeling taking his mentor's head to him in a basket might finally do the trick."
Lan stared back at Padan Fain, an emotionless expression on his face. He had relaxed into a familiar battle stance again, looking both aware and aloof at the same time. Holding his sword in both hands, his gaze never strayed from Fain for one moment. He did not reply.
"Didn't you have some scullery maid or something you had named your wife? Nynaeve, I believe? Oh, her death was particularly exquisite. Her will was strong and defiant, but in the end she broke all the same. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed drinking from the marrow of her cracked bones, knowing how it would make you feel once you learned of it," Fain taunted Lan.
Wind blew through Lan's long dark hair, but his stance didn't falter for one second. His face was carved of granite, sharp angles giving him a severe look. He said nothing.
Irritation flashed across Fain's face, and he gnashed his teeth as he cried out "Aaarrgh, let's just get this over with" and darted forward brandishing his ruby-hilted dagger in front of him dangerously.
Lan immediately began flowing into sword forms, one after the other. He had an idea how dangerous this foe was, and tested him out with quick opening attacks. His sword fell into The Grapevine Twines as he tried disarming his opponent, then twisted it into Low Wind Rising as he returned to his guard. He then shifted into Dandelion in the Wind, cutting his sword in a sinuous line across his chest as he tried getting past Fain's defenses.
Lan tried hard to keep surprise from showing on his face, but he was almost in disbelief at how quickly his foe was able to dodge or avoid his attacks. That kind of speed looked inherently evil itself, like the darting speed of a Myrddraal but more deadly. He fell into a lower stance, keeping on the balls of his feet, ready to jump backwards at any moment. His sword traced out the Leopard's Caress, aimed at Fain's legs in an attempt to slow down the Darkfriend.
His attack once again missing its mark, he found himself having to fall into frantic defensive maneuvers with his blade. Switching effortlessly into Cat Dances on the Wall, his feet danced a complicated rhythm as he fended off Fain's now frenetic attacks. His sword changed forms again, this time using the Cat on Hot Sand, a form normally used to fight multiple opponents at once. Even then he barely beat off Fain's relentless assault.
Padan Fain felt frustration bubbling into rage inside him, hating Lan for making him have to work so hard to end him. He would just exert his will and take control of his foe, were he facing a simple Trolloc or Myrddraal, but unfortunately that ability was unable to help him here. At least that ability was allowing him to keep the rest of the battle away from them. A tight ring surrounded Lan and Fain; his Shadowspawn helped him to have this private moment with the Warder.
The abnormal Shadowspawn/Darkfriend considered the Warder again. For a man who seemed to desire death so much, he fought with a tenacity Fain was not used to. His normal victims took little encouraging before they were begging for whatever sweet release Fain would grant them. A hunger ate away at Fain deep inside of him, a rage that boiled up and filled him with heat. He felt the same sensations from the dagger he held. He would feast on this warrior's blood; the need to burned inside him.
Fain looked up as a force of Malkieri broke through the ring of Trollocs, headed straight for him. He looked at them with grins for just a moment before suddenly a grayish cloud burst out towards the soldiers. The fog shot towards them and seperate tendrils snaked out to strike at each one individually. As each arm found its target, the soldiers would suddenly freeze where they stood, usually to then drop their weapons and drop to the ground, convulsing. Their deaths would be long and agonizing, and soon they would envy their brothers in battle who died relatively quickly and easily.
The grin on Fain's face extended as he saw Lan's features harden slightly. So, there was a way to get to this man after all, Fain thought with a hoarse chuckle. He redirected Mashadar out towards the soldiers surrounding them; the evil cloud fed off both Lightsworn and Shadowspawn alike. Shrieks arose around the pair, and Fain reveled in their pain. He was so transfixed in their suffering that he barely realized Lan was charging at him now, sword held furiously in front of him. With a start, Fain redirected a tendril of Mashadar towards Lan.
As the grey fog suddenly shot towards Lan, he abandoned the attack he had just been executing and danced away from the dangerous cloud. Fain was laughing now, darting forth to slash with his dagger as Lan did his best to move about so as to not let Mashadar touch him. He was barely using semblances of sword forms at this point, having to focus so much of his energy on avoiding the cloud of Mashadar.
Rolling backwards just as an arm of Mashadar extended out above his head, Lan continued to draw out the pursuit, not letting Mashadar or Fain's dagger get too close. Lan still felt the exhaustion from earlier; it was now a coat he had had on too long, weighing him down but almost forgotten at the same time. It felt like he had been fighting Fain for hours, and reality seemed to blur by in front of him as he realized Fain was toying with him.
Lan swung his sword about furiously now; then, after avoiding another offshoot of Mashadar, he rushed towards Fain in an attempt to give himself a breather. His sword met air as he finished his attack, and Lan frowned. No one was that fast. Where did... Lan tensed up immediately as he felt Fain's presence directly behind him. Before he could react, however, Fain had grasped his scalp in a vice-like grip, and held him in place as his dagger hovered mere millimeters from Lan's neck.
"You've lost, Gaidin," Fain whispered into Lan's ears. "Well, you lost long ago, before you had even known of my presence, but now you can actually be aware of the manner of your defeat. One touch of this dagger, and your death will be assured. I want to hear you beg. Beg for Nynaeve's safety. Plead for her life; if your squeals satisfy me I might make her death quick compared to yours."
Lan had already considered the situation and was now preparing himself for what he had to do. He had originally talked to Rand of this maneuver only in the figurative sense, but now Lan saw his only choice was to Sheathe the Sword, literally. Fain had stupidly left Lan's arms free, and Lan had calculated the pinpoint position he must strike at. Mouthing a last prayer for Nynaeve, a last message of love, Lan reversed the grip of his sword and launched it straight into his own midsection.
The pain-filled gasp Lan heard gave him some slight satisfaction, but he was already flowing into the next attack. He brought the sword out from his torso and twisted in a strange combination of Unfolding the Fan (this time drawing the sword out of his body's sheath instead) and Whirlwind on the Mountain, spinning around furiously with the blade extended out from him slightly below neck level.
Fain stood looking at Lan a couple more moments before his head finally slid off his shoulders. The Power-Forged blade had cut so precisely that Fain still stood another few moments, until all the muscles of the body slowly losing tension caused him to tumble down. Lan fell to one knee himself, clutching his side as the slightest of grunts escaped his mouth.
Blood pouring out from his wound, Lan raised his head once again. His soldiers had rallied once they saw their king take out his opponent, and everywhere Lan looked he saw Trollocs being driven away by Malkieri blade. Pride welled in Lan's features, but as he looked down at his wound he knew he wouldn't have long to feel pride or any other emotion for that matter. He looked up at the sky and thought of Nynaeve.
Predicted Winner: Lan
You have until Saturday, February 4th at 9:00 p.m. PST to vote.

I would love to see this fight personally. So many angles. Padan Fain is just pure evil. In the purest sense really. He has no conscience at all. Heck atleast the Forsaken even consider Balefire to be forbidden and hold to some level of rules. I think Padan Fain, if he could wield the one power, would destroy the entire world just to do it.
On the other hand, Lan is just so purely skilled in his craft. I think if this fight was fought purely with skill and blades, Lan would win in about 10 seconds. But Padan Fain would sense the fact that he had NO shot whatsoever at a skill vs. skill contest and would turn other things against Lan.
In the end, Padan Fain is a little like an aes sedai in the other things he can do, and Lan is just a swordsman. The last battle will have some grunt work with swordsman, but none would survive a fight against an Aes Sedai or any other worldly power.
So ... I vote, reluctantly, for Padan Fain.

Sorry Lan, you're my man, but I have to be realistic on this one.
Fain will get his due though, when he faces Moridin or Mat.

We don't know that yet. The voting is pretty close at this moment in time.

I know Lan is a master with the sword. I just think he can handle other weapons too. He's probably a born fighter with any weapon.

I think Mat v. Fain is the only real battle for these two. The luck they got from the dagger gives them an edge over all other opponents. Against each other, it would probably cancel out.
Posted 31 January 2012 - 01:13 PM
Lan would put up a good fight, but lose because of one mis-step, error, wind blowing, or some other asspect influenced by luck.

Lan is insanely fast and a MUCH BETTER swordsman than #2 blademaster Rand. Rand did not take any wounds in his fight against Fain. Instead, Rand cut up Fain's face.
However, the current Fain will use Mashadar on Lan, Lan is toast.
Lan vs. Toram. Keep in mind that Toram is a true blademaster and was pretty close to Rand in skill/abilities.

Strictly sword vs. dagger fight, Lan 99% of the time.

A bit off-topic, but weren't some rankins done for swordsmanship? I recall that Lan/Galad were at the top, rand was in the top 5/10 maybe, but not #2...
Self-Answered question:
"Lan, then Galad, Gawyn is luckier than he thinks he is."
Apparently rand was #2 before he had an unfornate incounter with a fireball.

I would have to concur with this. I really like Lan, but seriously, Fain and that daggar !!! Without that little gem, Lan without a doubt.
lan runs away from "worms", else they kill him... fain runs towards them, to make sport out of killing them... enough said...

gnataliam We stayed here in Dec 2012, and we would highly reccommend it! The views are amazing, and the room are basic but confortable (it is locally run guesthouse) What makes a big difference is the staff - so welcoming and whilling to help. Every night they put on a show with music and dancing, and on the last night they gave each guest a small present. The owner was also very helpful when we had problems with a bus booking on our way back to Arusha. Staying here was one of the highlights of our trip, and we would love to go back one day.
Moshi Excellent value, nice quiet and safe location, far enough removed from the town center for some seclusion but close enough for convenience. Very friendly staff made me feel like family. To make it stand out as being superb, the breakfast could be a bit more deluxe, but it still is a very good choice. The rooms were quite nice for the price. I would definitely stay there again.

Royals sign Mike Sweeney to a one-day contract, Sweeney announces retirement
The Royals have announced today that the club has signed first baseman Mike Sweeney to a one-day minor league contract at which point Sweeney announced his retirement as a Kansas City Royal at a press conference in Surprise, Ariz., site of Royals spring training.
The 37-year-old Sweeney was a five-time American League All-Star with the Royals, whom he played with from 1995-2007 after being drafted in the 10th round in 1991 out of Ontario (Calif.) High School. Sweeney was a .297 career hitter with 325 doubles, 215 home runs, 909 RBI and 759 runs scored. He capped his playing career with the Oakland Athletics (2008), Seattle Mariners (2009-10) and Philadelphia Phillies (2010), singling in his only career postseason at bat last season for the Phillies.
The club record holder for RBI in a season with 144 in 2000, Sweeney ranks in the top six all-time in Royals history in 17 offensive categories, including second in average (.299) and home runs (197). He narrowly missed winning the 2002 A.L. batting crown, hitting .340 in 2002, the second-highest single-season average in club history to George Brett's .390 mark in 1980. Sweeney represented the Royals as an American League All-Star for four straight seasons from 2000-2003 and again in 2005. He joins George Brett (13), Amos Otis (5) and Frank White (5) as the only players in club history to make five or more All-Star appearances.
The Royals honored Sweeney in 2008 by creating the Mike Sweeney Award, given to a minor league player who best represents the organization both on and off the field. Sweeney was a three-time Les Milgram Royals Player of the Year (2000, 2002 and 2005) and 1999 Joe Burke Special Achievement Award winner. In addition, he was honored with the 2007 Fred Hutchinson Award, presented annually since 1965 to one Major League Baseball player who best exemplifies former pitcher and manager Fred Hutchinson's honor, courage and dedication on and off the field.
Sweeney and his wife, Shara, have three children: sons Michael and Donovan, and a daughter, McKara.
