That is awesome! I love the concept of a town on a bridge, the look and the feel. Bravo!!!
A postcard view ...
And a straight bird's eye view. I have to admit this Sketch Up is a powerful tool. Very powerful. Considering I doodled this town up in 2.573 hours, while skyping and chatting around online. Some ageing and textures in photoshop, again. The main thing is that with a 3d town map and separate components things can be added, removed, moved, etc. very easily. The only thing that's ridiculously fiddly is how to make hemispheres and domes ... yuck and yuck.
As you might notice, I haven't bothered to add much detail to the houses, though this wouldn't be too difficult (a bit fiddly and time-consuming, but not too difficult).
Oh, and some story. The town of Mostova was built about 70 years ago by the Dolinars who settled the Valley of Saint Nomme after successfully defeating a host of raiding centaurs that had been pursuing them for many months and "civilizing" the local aboriginal halflings (gypsy dwarfs, they called them). The ancient bridge seemed immune to the ravages of time and a town was built upon it.
What I might do next year: add boats, cranes and ladders.
That is awesome! I love the concept of a town on a bridge, the look and the feel. Bravo!!!
I've started a third town, but then I went overboard with the components (houses) and I think I'm going to have to restart it. It's always a struggle to *not* add detail as I go but to save that for later, after the main layout is done!
Question: Do you use an additional rendering program?
I recommend you look into kerkythea. Its free like sketchup and plugs right into sketchup. It has a lighting engine and would really help with making you models cleaner before running them through photoshop.
Had to resist the urge to clean my monitor when looking at those maps. Looks nice!
My Finished Maps | My Planet Maps | My Challenge Entries | Album: Pre-generated Worlds
Assuming I stick with fantasy cartography, I'd like to become a World Builder, laying out not only a realistic topography, but also the geopolitical boundaries and at least rough descriptions of the countries and societies.
Like the Pulteney Bridge in Bath UK that I visited on my honeymoon, but on a grander scale. Great work as always.
I also have to practice my work with textures. So many programmes, so little time ... and so much EUIII to play!
@Master - hehe, I'll count that as a success. Monitors always work better when clean. But I really need to kick myself and scan some new bits of paper for textures.
@maxsdaddy - yeah, those medieaval bridges with houses are fascinating. The Ponte Vecchio in Florence is another great example ... and the good part with a lot of Renaissance buildings and towns in Italy is that you just have to play Assassin's Creed II to look at them. I gave my sister a guided tour of Florence in that game ... I had to. After half an hour of playing I was suddenly struck, "oh my god, look, that's the bridge we sat on drinking bad wine!"

Long Island International Film Expo
(Page 4 of 5)
Other films high on Markowitz's list include the aforementioned Western, "Dawn of Conviction," a student project out of Connecticut. It follows the exploits of The London Gang in the 1880s — from their start as young men in search of gold through their careers as gun slinging bandits fighting the law (and each other), as they make their way through Dakota Territory. The film poses questions about relationships. What keeps people together and what pulls them apart? Every member of The London Gang must answer these questions and discover their own convictions.
Short films of note include the British film "Titanic Love," which Markowitz describes as "one of the funniest films I've seen." In this story, Lucy has found a Titanic Love cruise and wants to relive the Hollywood dream. Jack doesn't, saying they can't afford it and Lucy is furious. Their relationship hits a rough patch so Jack calls upon best friend Delroy for advice and a cheap alternative. Delroy and his trusty sidekick Jaz come up with a cunning plan that could change all their lives forever.
On the serious side, "Things I Don't Understand" from director-producer-writer David Spaltro, is a story of changing relationships, love, life, and what comes after we die. "It is a dark film about a difficult subject that is treated very well,"said Markowitz. "It blew us all away."
The festival continues to be about more than just screening movies Aspiring filmmakers – and those film buffs who are interested in the process of filmmaking – have an opportunity to interact with industry insiders. The schedule includes panels on scriptwriting, film distribution and financing, and a filmmakers breakfast.

My Understanding of Ben Bernanke And The Taper
The Federal Reserve gets accused of many things. The Chairman of The Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke gets accused of many things. Is he E-vil? Nope. Is he a Great American? Probably not. So just what is Bernanke doing? My theory of Ben Bernanke's mysterious objectives goes as follows.
Ben Bernanke is presiding over what he hopes will be the successful retirement of the largest demographic cohort in contemporary America. The Post WWII Baby Boom is far larger than the generation ahead of it (The Silent Generation) or behind it (Generation X). Boomer columnist and political observer Peggy Noonan once described the Baby Boom Generation as "America's basketball in the python." This is not their fault, per se, but it does make them pose a challenge to the rest of us as they drift towards the bottom of the actuarial charts. The current $85Bn per month of QE is the periodic glass of Metamucil-Juice prescribed by Dr. Bernanke to help the python pass the basketball.Read More »

what do you think?
I say 5 wins this year. Rough start, and good ending like last year.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
I say 5-7 wins, but I'm leaning more heavily toward 6 or 7 wins.
Bowling it is!
Wir kegeln!! Wir kegeln!! (Deutsch for "we bowl") They probably wouldn't mean it the way we are.
I lean towards the winning record my own self.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
I say we win 5-7 games this year depending on how our quarterbacks play. Our O-line needs to step up huge this year if we have any shot at going bowling. A-rob needs to be solid and our recievers need to make a couple plays. If we can do all of that, then i think we will be playing in december
"These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it." - Charles Barkley
I say 7 wins. Chizik know what he's doin. Allen bell will be first team all big 12 next year. Cause he's a BAMF
I say 4 wins this year.
woot woot bowl game!
I voted no cuz I think we'll get 6 and be left out. Never have I hoped so much to be wrong.
(I think we'll get to a very good bowl in 2009 though)

I'm going with 5-7 wins. If, we win 3 of our first 4 games, then I'm going with 6-7 wins. If we win less than 3, then it's 5 games.
I don't think we will, but I'll save a few PTO days just in case (if I can get out of inventory counts).
I would not be surprised if we made a bowl game.
If we win any less than 5 that would be a huge disappointment. Seriously, out of South Dakota St, Iowa, Kent State, UNLV, Baylor, K-State, and Nebraska we need to win 5 of those and spring an upset somewhere for our 6th win.
Hate to be pessimistic, but I had to vote no. I have a lot of faith in the coaching staff and I like the schedule, but there are still too many questions about this team. I hope I'm wrong, but I think ISU only gets 5 wins in 2008. 2009 we're bowl bound, and 2010 the Cyclones are knocking off some of the Big XII South heavyweights.

With the 104th Map of the Week we look at the Stormford Outpost just north of the Slovanian village of Storm Fortress.
Stormford is as part of Storm Fortress, a small military outpost about half a mile/800 m north of town. It's manned by soldiers from the garrison in Storm Fortress and the town's water master. The only permanent residents of Stormford are the detachment commander, Captain Denisa, a 38-year-old human female warrior, and her husband, Pravoslav, a 40-year-old human male artisan who serves as Stormford's water master.
Stormford was built with two purposes in mind: To create an effective defense for Storm Fortress and to provide a reliable millstream to power the village's two mills. The ford that gives the outpost its name is not natural. It resulted from the damming of the River Storming. If Pravoslav were to open the dam gate, the ford would flood immediately and become unusable. That is, in fact, exactly what he would do if it appeared that a Dark host from the fallen Æsir Empire was about to attempt to cross the river at the ford.
Key to the Stormford Outpost
1. Headquarters. The outpost's minimal offices are on the ground floor, which also includes the detachment's kitchen and supply rooms. The second story includes the kitchen, mess hall and open bay barracks of the soldiers. The cellar has a large storage area and holding cells where prisoners are detained until they can be brought to Storm Fortress.
2. Keep and Wizards' Tower. The junior war wizards stationed in the outpost live in the barracks (Location No. 1) with the soldiers, and they also rotate shifts with them. However, when normal conditions reign, they use the keep as their wizards' tower. Usually one finds a seer, a white necromancer and a summoner, wizard or sorcerer here. The tower is 30 ft/9 m in diameter and 60 ft/18 m high.
3. Commander's House. Commandant Captain Denisa and Water Master Pravoslav live here.
4. Guard Post and Stable. Two soldiers always are on duty here to control who passes through the outpost. Except when the outpost is under attack, this is the only control point. The two gates in the outpost's defensive walls are unmanned and kept open at all other times.
5. River Storming.
6. Dams and Dam Tower.
7. Diversion Channel.
8. Storm Ford.
9. Drawbridge.
10. Burned Area.
11. Watchtowers. Each tower is 50 ft/15 m high. Two soldiers are on duty at all time in each tower. There is a fourth tower 300 ft/90 m south of the map's southern border.
You can get the map in two versions:
1. The Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 version in FMP format, fully editable, from our Jörðgarð web page (18 MB).
2. A JPG flat map of 3000 Pixels x 2250 Pixels (3.2 MB), available above.

Open Source Robotics Foundation Chooses SoftLayer, an IBM Company, to Host First Cloud-Based Robotics Challenge
The Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF), the non-profit organization charged with supporting the development, distribution and adoption of open-source software for use in robotics research, education and product development, recently relied on SoftLayer Technologies to host the DARPA Virtual Robotics Challenge (VRC). SoftLayer, now an IBM company, provided the multi-faceted infrastructure of bare metal, cloud and high-performance GPU servers to help push the boundaries of robotics technology. OSRF was funded by DARPA to support the simulator-based event, part of the broader DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC).
Competitors in the VRC sought to develop software to enable a simulated robot to execute tasks similar to the activities that might be required of emergency personnel in a disaster response situation. The VRC drew more than 100 teams from around the world, and SoftLayer's uniquely customizable cloud platform allowed them to compete from remote locations. The winners of the virtual competition will move on to the next stage of the DRC, in which the software they tested during the VRC will be applied to physical robots during a live event.

Tommy Ramone, the last surviving member of The Ramones original line up, died on Friday at the age of 62.
Ramone died in a hospice center in New York, where he had been receiving treatment for bile duct cancer, according to the New York Daily News.
Ramone served as drummer for the 1970s punk band's first three albums.
PHOTOS: 2014 Notable Deaths
A statement on the band's official Facebook page read: "We are saddened to announce the passing of Tommy Ramone (nee Erdelyi), the original drummer for the Ramones, earlier today, 11 July 2014."
"It wasn't just music in The Ramones: it was an idea. It was bringing back a whole feel that was missing in rock music – it was a whole push outwards to say something new and different. Originally it was just an artistic type of thing; finally I felt it was something that was good enough for everybody." – Tommy Ramone, 1978

Hey Cynp
The jacket is true to size but it is cut a bit loose so that you can have max mobility in the arms, shoulder and chest. So I would order the size you normally wear. If you want a smaller fit I would go a size down. I hope that this helps and if you have any more questions just let us know.

Clarke County authorities say an Enterprise woman is safe after disappearing earlier on Thursday.
Sheriff Todd Kemp says 60-year old Helen Moss walked away from her house around 3:00 Thursday afternoon and could not be located. A number of investigators, as well as search dogs, were called in to look for Moss.
Thankfully, someone called authorities just after 6:00 to let them know that Moss is okay.
"We had a local reverend, preacher here in Enterprise, report to our dispatch center in Quitman that he had in fact carried this lady to a local hospital in Meridian," Kemp recalls. "And we're glad to report she is safe and sound."
Sheriff Kemp says it is always important to report any and all information that you might have on a case that investigators are working to solve.

Take 5 With Steve BruléWritten by Mike Finnegan on October 28, 2013 Roddin' @ Random
Around the HOT ROD office he's known as "The Carb Whisperer," not just because Steve Brulé can tweak the fuel-metering device like no other, but because he has a knack for hitting the abort button on the Superflow engine dyno before something catastrophic happens. His ears are finely tuned for engine performance.
"Yoda" is also an appropriate moniker for this guy who dispenses sage-like advice about engine tuning without spoon-feeding it to you. He's raced drag boats, hot rods and bench raced with the top tuners in the business. You've seen Westech Performance Group's dyno room in countless articles in automotive magazines. Now meet the man behind the dyno console, the telephone, and the tune-ups we've used for more than a decade of successful engine tests.
HRM] Who is Steve Brulé?
SB] That's a damn good question! [laughs] He's the General Manager of Westech Performance Group, husband to Tracee Brulé, and a weekend wannabe bowler.
HRM] How do you go from engine building to drag racing to bowling? Aside from the beer, what makes a guy like you want to hang out in a dingy bowling alley?
SB] I have less of a chance of tipping over and a better chance of paying the bills when I'm bowling.
HRM] You're talking about drag-boat racing now. How long have you been racing boats?
SB] Competitively since the early '90s. I've always had a love for hot rod boats and NHRA Pro Stock drag racing.
HRM] What's the quickest you ever went in a drag boat?
SB] 8.09 seconds at 132 mph in the quarter-mile.
HRM] That's cookin'. Did you win any championships?
SB] We won two consecutive championships in the Pro Gas Jet Class (a class with a 515ci displacement limit), but because of a technicality requiring all boat owners to be members of the racing association for there to be a championship (not all racers were members), we didn't win the third consecutive championship, even though we won every race but one. We won 11 events in a row and 19 of 23 Pro Gas Jet races in the Southern Drag Boat Association (SDBARacing.com) from 1996 to 1998.
HRM] That kind of dominance doesn't happen often. Did you ever race on land?
SB] Early on I raced like a lot of guys growing up, bracket racing my street car. I did get the chance to drive a Modified Production car, a B Street Roadster because I worked for an engine builder in New Mexico. We won Division 5 and set the record with him driving the car in '74 or '75.
HRM] What was your first car?
SB] A 1967 Plymouth GTX with a 375hp 440.
HRM] Did you keep it stock?
SB] No! Back then, you didn't keep anything stock because no one worried about what they would be worth years later. You bought and sold cars like that for less than $1,000 like it was nothing.
HRM] How did you earn money as a kid?
SB] I mowed lawns. My first real job was working in a pool hall at age 14 during the summer. The guy gave me the keys so he could go fishing. Looking back, the guy had to be insane to give a 14-year-old kid the keys to a 20-table pool hall with a safe in it. I loved playing pool.
HRM] What was your first job in racing?
SB] I worked for McClintic Racing in New Mexico as a machinist and eventually an engine builder. I started out sweeping floors and reconditioning rods, then engine balancing, and finally assembly. I was 18 or 19.
HRM] How did Westech begin and where did you fit in?
SB] It was originally conceived by a former HOT ROD editor in 1993 who felt the industry needed a place to do unbiased product testing for articles. The editor and his partner Rick Stoner and I grew up in New Mexico and hung around the same speed shop. We'd known each other for years and Rick hired me to come out occasionally and build his engine projects. I did that for about three years while Westech grew and then the guys asked me to move to California and work there full-time. That was January 1999.
HRM] Who are your heroes?
SB] Not to sound cliché, but my dad was. I didn't realize it until later in life.
HRM] Like every son does…
SB] Yes. He really turned into my hero after I talked to other people about him. He was a man of few words. But in talking to his friends and employees I never heard a bad word about him. I learned he was a standup guy and that his handshake was his word. If he said he was going to do something, he did it. That's rare in this world.
HRM] How many engines do you think you've dyno-tested through the years?
SB] Literally thousands of them.
The least-powerful V8 I ever tested was an old 260ci Ford that had 160 hp.
HRM] Which engines are you most excited to test when you show up to work?
SB] Honestly, all of them [are exciting] in different ways. There's something to be learned from all of them. If you're asking me what my favorite engine is in today's world of LS everything—I'm still a big-block Chevy guy.
HRM] What have you learned recently during a dyno test that surprised you?
SB] I don't know that anything surprises me. The excitement comes from trying to figure out why this one is different [from the others]. Every time we do some in-depth testing, we go in asking one question and walk out with 10 more questions.
HRM] And you like that?
SB] Yeah, that's the interesting part—sorting through all the information. Running a dyno isn't unlike a racer poring over his data acquisition system. The car or engine is telling you what it wants, you just have to be able to speak its language.
HRM] What's the biggest misconception about dynos and dyno shops?
SB] The big one is that dyno testing is harder on an engine than racing one.
HRM] What's been the biggest blowup in your dyno cell?
SB] Is being able to pick up the wristpin from the oil pan by hand considered big?
HRM] You have to tell me about that one.
SB] I can count the big blowups on one hand. It doesn't happen often and is usually the result of catastrophic component failure. This one was a very high horsepower turbocharged modular Ford motor owned by a racer who wanted to do some testing at the end of the season so that he didn't put a bunch of dyno pulls on the engine at the beginning of the following season. Apparently, 70 laps at the racetrack and a few dyno pulls were enough to break a connecting rod. I could see the engine owner through the oil pan. The wristpin was still stuck in the rod and it cut a 3-inch-wide path through the block and dry sump pan.
HRM] I guess not having a cam above the rotating assembly to stop the rod from becoming a buzzsaw makes filleting the block a bit easier. What's the dumbest mistake a magazine editor has made during a test?
SB] [Laughing] One of them installed a Weiand blower without taking the paper off the discharge outlet. It's a sticker that Weiand installs to keep dirt out of the blower during shipping. It's kinda hard to start the engine when the air and fuel have nowhere to go.
HRM] Who is your favorite engine builder?
SB] It had to be Bill Jenkins.
HRM] Did you ever meet him?
SB] Yes, I did.
HRM] Why was he your favorite?
SB] He was such an innovator. He was at the top of his game from the beginning of his Camaro Pro Stock days and his small-block Vega days. He seemed to be able to take whatever rules the NHRA could dish out and still be successful, whether it was big-blocks or small-blocks. It didn't matter.
HRM] He was a thinking man's racer.
SB] Absolutely. How can you not admire a guy who was still building competitive Pro Stock engines in his seventies?
HRM] Let's wind the clock back 15 years and pretend you don't work at Westech, money is not a problem, and you could do anything on earth for a living. What do you do?
SB] I'd be driving an NHRA Pro Stock car. It is the pinnacle of driving a drag race car. I wouldn't want to drive a boat again simply because the price you pay for crashing one is too high. Not that any motorsport isn't dangerous but it tends to hurt a lot more when you crash without a cage—even on water.
HRM] Thanks for the chat.
SB] Thanks for not running a picture of the back of my head behind the dyno console.
HRM] Who says I'm not?!
4 Best Dyno Tests
Steve Brulé has tested nearly every engine ever made with a spark plug, and he vividly recalls the most powerful ones—the weak engines, not so much…
1) "One guy brought in a small four-cylinder Lotus engine that only made 70 hp."
2) "A 1953 Corvette engine made just 110 hp. Pretty much anything that didn't move the needle far was built before 1965."
3) "One of the most powerful ones so far has been a 565ci Chevy with spread-port heads and a Vortech blower that made 1,900 hp. It went into John DiGiancinto's jet boat."
4) "The other big-power engine wasn't big at all. John Mihovitz's PSCA Pro Street Ford Mustang runs a twin-turbo 4.6L mod motor that makes as much power as that 565ci Chevy."

A newly-cropped Carla Suarez Navarro (left) may have been on her favored clay in Acapulco but it didn't help much. The Spaniard fell to Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 6-4, 7-5 in the tourney's second round.
So if I remember correctly, a few of you felt Carla was bordering on a hairy situation at the Aussie Open (right) and I won't argue there. I mean, her hair had a life of its own and almost made the main draw too. But I'm not sure I'm feeling the new 'do either. There MUST be a middle ground people.

WASHINGTON – The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus is rolling into town this week and so are its elephants.
The annual parade of elephants — otherwise known as the DC Pachyderm Parade — will take place Tuesday, March 19.
Elephants, circus clowns and acrobats will walk from Capitol Hill to the Verizon Center. The expected start time is 8 p.m.; it is not expected to interfere with rush hour traffic.
The parade route will begin at Virginia Avenue at New Jersey Avenue SE, continue west to South Capitol Street and then head north to Washington Avenue SW. From Washington Avenue, the route will move west to 3rd Street SW and head north on 3rd Street. The parade will make its final turn onto G Street NW toward the Verizon Center at 601 F St. NW.
While the parade draws children of all ages, it also attracts animal rights activists, the Huffington Post reports. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has protested the parade in the District for the past two years.
The circus' show, "Dragons," will be at the Verizon Center March 21-24.

Meeting with members of a U.S. medical delegation in Riyadh on January 10, 1937, King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al-Saud told them: "I love your country and admire your president (Franklin D. Roosevelt), and am very grateful for the services which members of your mission have shown me and my people. You come wanting only to help us." The leader of the U.S. delegation noted in his memoirs: "His cordiality took my breath away, and I could say nothing more than that I hoped the friendship would continue."
And as history has shown, the Saudi-U.S.
friendship has not only continued but has weathered many storms,
including numerous regional and global conflicts and crises,
developing into a relationship that today spans the fields of
politics, economics, education, technology and other areas of human
endeavor. And as the relationship of these two nations matured, it has
reflected the ideals of independence, justice and peace that are
cornerstones of the United Nations Charter.
The origin of this friendship is rooted in King Abdulaziz's admiration for President Woodrow Wilson and his call for self-determination for nations at a time when much of the world, particularly the Middle East and North Africa, was burdened with colonialism. Realizing that he needed help in developing the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which he had established on September 23, 1932, King Abdulaziz saw the United States as an emerging global power that, unlike the European nations, espoused principles of liberty and self-determination for developing nations and had no colonial ambitions.
King Abdulaziz based his perception of the United States on Wilson's refusal to condone the partitioning of the Middle East among the Allied victors of World War I and his call for granting the Arabs self-determination. He was also influenced by the positive impressions left by the Americans he had met in the 1920s, including philanthropist Charles R. Crane, who helped established the first desalination plant to supply drinking water to Jeddah, and geologist Karl Twitchell, who in his quest for underground water aquifers encountered evidence of the existence of oil in the Kingdom.
Looking for a foreign company to help develop the Kingdom's oil reserves, King Abdulaziz chose not one of the many British firms that were already working in the region - in Iran, Iraq and Bahrain - but an American company, a choice made over the objections of Britain, then the dominant global power. The granting of the oil concession on July 7, 1933, to Standard Oil of California, which would evolve into the Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco), was followed in November of the same year by the establishment of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States.
The outbreak of World War II had short-term repercussions for Saudi Arabia in that it halted exports of the limited quantities of oil the Kingdom's new fields were producing in the 1930s and impeded the pilgrimage to the Holy Mosque in Makkah. But the war also had an unexpected effect on relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States.
In the pre-war years, the existence of oil in the Kingdom and its extraction by an American company shaped the nature of these relations. Forcing the United States as it did into the position of a global power, the war and its conduct, also helped the United States realize the Kingdom's important geopolitical position. President Franklin D. Roosevelt said in 1943: "I hereby find that the defense of Saudi Arabia is vital to the defense of the United States." He said these words at a time when the great extent of Saudi Arabia's oil reserves was unknown.
The meeting between King Abdulaziz and President Roosevelt on board the USS Quincy on February 14, 1945, in the waning days of the war, launched a new chapter in Saudi-U.S. relations. The long hours the two men spent together discussing a wide range of issues, particularly the future of Palestine, which was a British mandate at the time, marked the beginning of a unique relationship. It not only provided an opportunity to establish a personal friendship that lasted until President Roosevelt's death, but also allowed the two leaders and senior officials from the two countries to realize the extent to which the vital interests of their nations coincided, and indeed were intertwined.
That historic meeting set a precedent. Since then, every Saudi King has met with the current U.S. president, and the tone of their talks has echoed the frank and friendly discussions of King Abdulaziz and President Roosevelt.
Following the war, Saudi Arabia's oil exports grew steadily, providing the funds needed to bring about the development that King Abdulaziz had envisioned for his Kingdom. Embarking on an ambitious development program in industry, agriculture, health care, education and other areas, the Kingdom turned to the United States for assistance. Soon, American companies and experts would be involved in building a modern infrastructure, including roads, airports, sea ports, industrial cities and telecommunications facilities, as well as universities, hospitals and other ventures. Of the 1,300 trillion dollars Saudi Arabia has spent on the development of its infrastructure and human resources since the introduction of the First Five-Year Development Plan in 1970, a sizeable portion has gone to American companies and experts.
At the same time, trade flourished. The United States became Saudi Arabia's principal trading partner, exporting to it billions of dollars worth of goods and services every year, while importing a sizeable portion of its crude oil needs from the Kingdom. Saudi Arabian imports from the U.S. rose from a few million dollars a year at the time of the 1945 meeting to more than eight billion dollars in 1999. Considering that the U.S. Labor Department estimates that each one billion dollars in exports provides jobs for 10,000 American workers, the hundreds of billions of dollars of goods and services the Kingdom has imported from the United States in recent decades gives some indication of the significance of the close economic relations between the two countries.
One of the primary components of the Saudi-U.S. relationship has always been oil. In the years immediately following the 1945 meeting, most of the oil requirement of the United States was supplied by domestic production, and the remainder imported from Mexico, Venezuela and producers other than Saudi Arabia, which was a relatively small exporter of oil. Later, as domestic oil production in the United States declined and the extent of Saudi oil reserves became apparent - Saudi Arabia now has a quarter of the world's proven oil reserves - U.S. imports of Saudi oil grew steadily.
Another aspect of Saudi Arabia's significance to the economic well-being of the United States, and indeed the whole world, is the role the Kingdom has historically played in the oil market. Committed to ensuring the stability of supplies and prices on the global market, Saudi Arabia has acted in times of crisis, such as when oil supplies were lost from Iran during the 1979 revolution and from Kuwait as a result of the Iraqi invasion of 1990, to cover any deficiency in supplies by maintaining excess production capacity. By doing so, it has prevented major shocks to the global economy from a loss of oil supplies or sharp price increases.
The growing level of economic cooperation and interdependence between Saudi Arabia and the United States brought a corresponding awareness by each of the two nations of the important role the other played regionally and internationally.
In the 1950s and 1960s, both countries viewed communism as the primary threat. During that period, the United States had already emerged as the dominant military power in the non-communist world and was therefore a natural partner for Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, the Kingdom, which enjoys a special status as the birthplace of Islam, the site of the two holiest shrines to Muslims and the heartland of the extended Arab nation, was rapidly acquiring a dominant role in the Islamic and Arab worlds, as well as among all developing nations, with many countries increasingly looking to it for leadership and guidance. These qualities made the Kingdom a desirable ally for the United States.
With the Middle East and North Africa mired in revolutions and coups, the Soviet Union loomed as a real threat to the region, both directly and indirectly, through Moscow's many proxies. This threat brought Saudi Arabia and the United States closer together in an effort to avert it and to bring stability to the region.
The main domestic threat to regional peace and stability over the past half century has been the Arab-Israeli conflict and the two wars it spawned in 1967 and 1973. An ardent supporter since the time of King Abdulaziz of the rights of the Palestinians to a homeland and self-determination, Saudi Arabia has advocated settling the dispute through negotiations based on the principle of land-for-peace and United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338, and has encouraged various U.S. administrations to become actively engaged in ending the conflict. In this respect, leaders from the two countries have been in constant contact to find a solution to this crisis.
Already working together in the economic, political and security fields, relations between the two countries have entered a new and closer phase over the past two decades. The catalyst for this was two events in 1979 — the Iranian revolution and Soviet invasion of Afghanistan — that posed a serious threat to stability and security in the region. The start of the Iran-Iraq War and the taking of American hostages by Iranian revolutionaries in 1980 compounded the sense of instability in the region.
In the following years, Saudi Arabia and the United States worked closely together to confront Iran's attempts to export its revolution, help the people of Afghanistan fight the Soviet occupation, and contain the Iran-Iraq war and the threat it posed to the unimpeded delivery of oil from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries to the United States and the rest of the world.
Having worked together to successfully contain these crisis, Saudi Arabia and the United States were confronted with another and far more serious problem when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990 and threatened to attack Saudi Arabia. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd bin Abdulaziz and President George Bush led a diplomatic campaign to forge a coalition of Arab, Muslim, European and other nations to confront Iraq and free Kuwait. The successful completion of this joint endeavor restored Kuwait's freedom, but did not restore that country's ability to export oil as retreating Iraqi forces had set fire to 600 of Kuwait's 900 producing wells. During the conflict and in the following year, Saudi Arabia stepped in to compensate the lost production from Kuwait and Iraq, and thus averted a major global economic catastrophe.
The past decade has witnessed the continuing evolution of Saudi-U.S. relations. Over that period, Saudi Aramco, the national oil company, entered into a joint venture with Texaco Inc., which was later joined by Shell Oil Company, to form a downstream company that refined some 800,000 barrels per day of crude oil at four refineries and distributed the products through thousands of gasoline stations in 26 states in the eastern and southern parts of the United States.
In recent years, Saudi Arabia has continued to grant large contracts to U.S. companies for the purchase of goods and services. For example the national airline, Saudi Arabian Airlines, recently took delivery of the last of 61 jetliners it had purchased under a contract worth six billion dollars with Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, and American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) was granted a contract worth four billion dollars for expansion of the Kingdom's telecommunications network. Earlier this year, the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA), which was established in 1999 to encourage more joint ventures with and greater investments from American and other companies, issued a license to a consortium of U.S. companies to build 3,000 new schools at a cost of 3.5 billion dollars.
In June of this year, King Fahd chaired a meeting of the Higher Economic Council that approved the signing of a long-term contract with American oil companies for the development of the gas sector. The agreement involves tens of billions of dollars of investments in desalination and power generation plants, and the development of natural gas and petrochemicals.
The most recent example of the close relationship that has developed between the two nations is Saudi Arabia's reaction to the tragic events of the September 11 terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Shortly after the event, Saudi Arabia strongly condemned these "regrettable and inhuman bombings and attacks," and offered sincere condolences to the families of the victims, to U.S. President George W. Bush and to the American people in general. On September 14, King Fahd sent a cable of condolences to President Bush in which he conveyed the great sorrow and grief with which the Kingdom was following reports of the terrorist attacks. Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz on September 13 spoke by telephone with President Bush and said the Kingdom would cooperate fully with the United States to find those responsible for the terrorist attacks.
In the months since the attacks, Saudi Arabia has supported U.S. military action in Afghanistan and cooperated with U.S. authorities in the hunt for the perpetrators of these and other terrorist attacks. As part of the close cooperation between the two sides, King Fahd and Crown Prince Abdullah met separately with U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in Riyadh, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Saud Al-Faisal visited Washington, DC, to assure President Bush of Saudi Arabia's full cooperation in the fight against terrorism.As they have in the past, the two countries will overcome this, the most recent crisis that has tested their friendship, and will emerge with a clearer understanding of the mutual benefits inherent in a close relationship that has endured for some seven decades.

Small Business Saturday: Where to shop small in your neighborhood | Events
At the top of small retailers' holiday wish lists: shoppers who still have enough energy - and money - to shop at their establishments the day after Black Friday.
This year's Small Business Saturday, where consumers are encouraged to support their local small businesses two days after Thanksgiving, will be the biggest one yet, says Small Business Administrator Karen Mills.
SHOP LOCAL: Find participating small businesses in your area
"We see tremendous momentum out there," says Mills, who bought blueberry jam last Small Business Saturday at a farmers market in Brunswick, Mass., and brought it back to her colleagues at work. "This Small Business Saturday has really gone viral."
Small businesses can't usually compete with big-box stores' big sales on Black Friday, so many hope to use Small Business Saturday to get a piece of the action during the biggest shopping weekend of the year.
Small Business Saturday is the most important shopping day of the season for 36% of independent retailers, according to the National Federation of Independent Businesses. Only 24% say that day is Black Friday.
Ross Steinman, psychology professor at Widener University, says the popularity of Small Business Saturday is a revolt against big-box stores from consumers who are willing to pay extra and see the money go to their communities.
"There's so much negative attention in recent years on Black Friday and the rampant consumerism that's associated with it," he says. "Small Business Saturday is a response to that."
Jim Brownell, VP of retail solutions for GT Nexus, says that Small Business Saturday is a great opportunity for retailers because there will be "a lot of feet on the street," but it won't work unless they get the word out about promotions.
"It's unfortunately going to require some sort of service promotion or product promotion to draw people into the stores," Brownell says. "You can't sit back and hope that the SBA with all their advertising is really going to be the ones that will bring everybody in."
Alan Au, co-owner of Jimmy Au's For Men 5'8" and Under, a fancy clothing store for shorter men, says he plans on having a big Small Business Saturday sale on pretty much everything, but what he won't do is advertise the sale beyond individual invitations to customers.
"The more full the store is, the harder it is to help anybody," says Au. "I function a lot better with a steady stream of customers.
When Au's store was in the Glendale, Calif., shopping mall, his Black Friday sales drew customers who were already in the mall to make other purchases.
However, once the store moved to a street location in Beverly Hills, he found he was trying to compete with the big retailers at the mall, whose Black Friday crowds he previously relied on for customers.
"We tried to compete against that with some really killer deals, but we can't beat something like that," says Au. Now he holds the sale on Saturday.

There is another script I wrote as a part of a couple scripts I wrote for painting cartoons. I show multifill here. If your lines were solid, with the appropriate "map palette" you could just run multifill and it would colour them all for you.

Rumor has it (at least according to an anonymous DtL comment) Andy Roddick + Brooklyn Decker got married today a day after RoKa officially announced their secret nuptials:

Secondary School PreparationThe CMC Admission Committee tries to consider the whole person while reviewing an application. There is no formula. Your high school record is the most important aspect of your application, but very strong consideration is also given to your extracurricular activities, essays, letters of recommendation and standardized test scores. Competitive candidates for admission pursue the most demanding course work possible and receive strong grades. The following are the minimum secondary school requirements:
- four years of English;
- three (preferably four) years of mathematics;
- at least three years of a foreign language (this can be three total years or up to the third level);
- at least one year of history;
- at least two years of science (Management Engineering candidates and prospective science majors should have taken physics and chemistry).

The Public Broadcasting Service's (PBS) investigative show Frontline will air a deep look into how digital media and the Internet have transformed human lives and the subject of videogames is featured heavily in the program.
Digital Nation: Life on the Virtual Frontier will debut on February 2 at 9:00 ET. The 90 minute show was produced by Rachel Dretzin, who also created the recent Frontline special Growing Up Online, and will feature commentary from Douglas Rushkoff. Segments include Living Faster, Relationships, Waging War, Virtual Worlds and Learning.
Many individual videos are already available for viewing on the PBS website and a trailer for the show offers a quick overview of what it's all about.
The Waging War section features game-related topics such as the military's use of virtual reality training, as well as looks at both America's Army and the Army Experience Center.
Virtual Worlds contains a cornucopia of videogame segments, including the use of virtual reality therapy for veterans, gaming addiction, professional gamers, violent games, Second Life and about 20 more pieces.
Another cool aspect to the program is that the Digital Nation website launched about a year ago ago in a bid to let users collaborate with the project by sharing their own experiences.

HINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Georgia Lottery officials say a scratch-off ticket worth a $2.5 million prize was sold to a Florida man at a convenience store near the Georgia coast.
Stanley Carlton of Perry, Fla., cashed in his winning ticket at the Georgia Lottery's district office in Savannah. Lottery officials said Wednesday he bought the ticket at Hinesville Station, a store on West Oglethorpe Highway in Hinesville.
The $2.5 million prize is the top payout in the Millionaire Jumbo Bucks scratch-off game. The tickets cost $20 each.
Lottery officials say the same store sold a scratch-off ticket in 2011 that awarded a seven-night vacation aboard a cruise ship.

|Bowling alley purchase finalized by Phillips County
|Written by Darci Tomky
Phillips County's purchase of the bowling alley property immediately east of the courthouse is now finalized, reported commissioners at their Oct. 31 meeting.
They purchased Lots 10 and 11 in Block 20 of the Original Town of Holyoke for $65,000.
Also in the month of October, the board made a final review of the tax incentive application from Seaboard Foods for their new pellet mill. Commissioners decided their $122,853.47 payment for the County Road 35 railroad crossing would be their assistance to the project. No additional tax incentive will be approved, they said.
Commissioners approved a contract with Joe Bellm of BST Promotions to lease the Phillips County Speedway for 2013 with the possibility of extending it to 2014 and 2015.
They also approved a letter of engagement for Ronny Farmer LLC of Lamar for completion of the 2012 audit for Phillips County. The cost is not to exceed $19,000.
Sales and purchases were approved in October. The County accepted the high bid of $250 from Lincoln County for the Yogi Bear teeter-totter and two spring horses from the old Homesteaders Park playground. They also accepted the high bid of $900 for the sale of a 1986 Chevrolet Silverado pickup from Road and Bridge Dist. 1.
Commissioners approved the purchase of a 2013 Rhino mower from G & M Implement in Sterling for Road and Bridge Dist. 2 at a cost of $26,260. With a trade-in value of $6,000 for the old mower, the net price is $20,260.
Three subdivision exemptions were approved for Riley and DeeAnn Dubbert for the sale of approximately 11.5 acres in the NW 1/4 of Section 9, T7N, R44W to Grainland Co-op, for Wilbur and Peggy Davis for the sale of approximately 0.05 acres in the NW 1/4 of Section 4, T7N, R44W to Grainland Co-op and for Rafael Martinez for 7.86 acres in the SE 1/4 of section 6, T7N, R44W.
The board reported the County maintenance crew is converting the old cinderblock restrooms to the west of the fairground grandstands to equipment storage and small shop building.
The County recently contracted for grinding concrete stockpiled at the landfill. Approximately 3,700 tons were ground at $7.50 per ton and will be for sale or use on county projects.
Commissioners approved the use of the courthouse square June 14-15, 2013 for the annual Dandelion Daze event, sponsored by Holyoke Chamber of Commerce.

text: By LaDonna SwedbergSports Writer Wallace began their 2013 season on the right track when they traveled to Arthur on Friday then hosted Mullen on Saturday and came away with a victory in both games. The victories were big for the Wildcats as they begin an action packed, tough schedule. The Arthur game on Friday was a great game to get back into the swing of things. The Wolves are a young team with little experience and they don't have a lot of size so the Wildcats had the advantage going into the game. The Wildcats ,however, knew that Arthur would make them work for the victory so they put together a great team effort to get the job done. The first seven points of the game were scored by four different Wildcats. Landon Swedberg got things started with a jump shot, Josh Grauerholz added a free throw, Lane Scott got a bucket due to a great assist from Taylor Doell and John Marquardt added his basket. Before the quarter came to an end, Swedberg tipped in a rebound and added a free throw, Jose Arvizo got a free throw and Grauerholz got a couple of free throws and a put back to give Wallace a 15–5 lead at the buzzer. The Wildcats really turned it on in the second quarter; both the offense and the defense did their job in an impressive manner. Eight different players got in the score book and most of them put numbers up more than once. The defense came up with turnovers which resulted in points as did the offensive rebounds. The Cats were getting good looks at the basket with great assist from a strong offense. Everything was clicking for Wallace and they went into the halftime break with a 44–12 lead. Things were much quieter in the second half. Wallace slowed the pace of the game significantly and after scoring 29 points in the second quarter, they only put up 16 points in the entire second half. Scott, Grauerholz, Marquardt and Shane Anders were the scorers in the third quarter and putting points on the board in the fourth quarter were Collin Swedberg, Mark Jameson and another two buckets by Anders. Wallace defeated the young Wolves team 60–26. The leading scorers for the Wildcats were Josh Grauerholz with 14 and Landon Swedberg with 10. Grouerholz, Swedberg and Lane Scott each pulled down six total rebounds and John Marquardt had four assists. The Wildcats were grateful that they were able to have a quiet second half on Friday night because they needed everything they could muster up for Saturday's game against a big Mullen Broncos team.Wallace vs Mullen Wallace started the game on fire with every starter finding a way to get points on the board. Taylor Doell started things off by draining one from downtown and shortly after that, Lane Scott put back a rebound for two. Landon Swedberg drove the lane for his first bucket then Josh Grauerholz put in a bunny shot. Swedberg added a put back and a three-pointer, Grauerholz got a bucket and one and John Marquardt finished the first quarter scoring with his basket. The Wildcats were out to a 19–11 lead at the end of one. Wallace continued to mix their shot selection to keep the Broncos guessing, the Cats were finding ways to get the inside shot against the bigger Broncos and they were getting good looks from the outside as well. Scott was able to get a basket off the glass from close range as well as an offensive rebound put back. Doell dropped in another three-pointer and Marquardt got a short jumper and a couple of free throws to round off the second quarter scoring. The half time score had the Wildcats up 30–19. The 11 point lead ended up being huge for Wallace as Mullen came out in the second half and continually chipped away at that lead. The Broncos outscored the Wildcats by three in the third. All that Wallace could come up with in the third was a breakaway basket by Grauerholz which was made possible by Marquardt and then a basket and two free throws by Marquardt and another three-pointer by Doell. The final quarter ended up being action packed with both teams desperately wanting the win. The Wildcat defense had basically shut down Riley Rice, Mullen's dominant player. Up to the fourth quarter he had been held to just two free throws and he was ready to take over. He started the quarter by draining two threes from the top of the key. Not to be outdone, Doell dropped in his fourth three-pointer of the game which was followed by short jumpers from Grauerholz, Marquardt and Scott. The Broncos were doing a better job getting position on the Wildcats so they were able to get some offensive rebounds and either get points from a put back or from free throws. They also stepped up the defense and even though they were fouling, the Wildcats could not make their free throws so the lead continued to dwindle. Swedberg came up with a timely basket with an added free throw and Scott got another big basket to help Wallace maintain their lead. The Broncos however had cut the lead to two points. Mullen was not giving the Wildcats many opportunities to run their offense, they were content to foul as quickly as they could and hope that Wallace would continue to struggle at the charity stripe. When push came to shove, however, the Wildcats made just enough free throws to keep their lead and defeat the Broncos by a score of 57– 53. Wallace once again had a great team effort with each player contributing in a big way. The scoring was led by John Marquardt and Taylor Doell with 13 points each followed by Landon Swedberg with 12, Lane Scott with 10 and Josh Grauerholz with nine. Grauerholz led the way in rebounding by pulling down eight, Scott and Swedberg each had six. Marquardt contributed six assist and Doell three while Swedberg grabbed three steals and Doell and Anders each had two.Next Action The Wildcats will have another week with back-to-back games when they travel to Big Springs on Thursday to take on the South Platte Blue Knights and then they will host Paxton on Friday night. Both games are scheduled to begin at 4 CT.

from the kitchen of Terri Burnett
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1 Tblsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dried basil
2 extra-large eggs
1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup onion, minced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
2.5 oz. package pre-cooked bacon, crisped and crumbled
(or 1 cup diced ham, or 1 cup Morning Star Sausage Crumbles for a veggie version)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease muffin pan or line with paper or foil liners. (Foil will need to be removed before you reheat muffins in the microwave)
In large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder and seasonings. Set aside.
In another bowl, lightly beat eggs with a fork, combine with milk, butter, onion, red pepper, bacon, and cheese.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
Mix together, just until all ingredients are moistened.
Fill muffin cups evenly, about 1/2 cup each.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, gently turn out and cool completely on a wire rack.
Store in an air-tight container in fridge or freezer.
For a quick breakfast, heat in microwave for 30 seconds, 45-60 sec. if muffins are frozen.
Serve with fruit.
Makes 12 muffins.
These would be great paired with a cream soup or salad for lunch or supper too.
They're even better reheated, so this is the perfect make-ahead recipe!

Chronic compartment syndrome (CCS) occurs when pressure builds up within the body's muscle compartments. Compartments are made of sheets of connective tissue called fascia. These sheets are under the skin of the arms and legs. They wrap around groups of muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. When pressure builds up in the compartments, it disrupts or blocks blood flow to the muscles and nerves.
Unlike acute compartment syndrome, CCS is not an emergency. But you should see your doctor to get treatment.
CCS is most commonly caused by intense exercise.
CCS usually occurs in people less ths 30 years old. Risk factors include:
CSS can affect the lower leg. But, it can also affect the arms, hands, feet, and buttocks.
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to CCS. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Surgery, called fasciotomy, is the main treatment for CCS. This is done to open the compartment and relieve pressure. A long cut will be made into the fascia to open the tissue and relieve pressure.
It takes about three months to recover. You will have to do physical therapy.
If you are only had CCS for a short time or you decide not to have surgery, your doctor may recommend that you:

At this point I can receive inbound mail from external users and exchange users to my zimbra server, but zimbra won't deliver mail to exchange. I am sure that it is something simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.
When I try to reply to a message sent to a zimbra account from an exchange account I get the following error:
Any help would be greatly appreciated,Code:msg - Message not sent to any recipients because of these failed addresses: Robert <firstname.lastname@example.com> code - mail.SEND_FAILURE method - ZmCsfeCommand.invoke detail - soap:Sender
