With a baby on the way, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are doing some nesting - they have splashed out $11m on their first house together.
Kimye have snapped up a property in a gated community in Bel Air, Los Angeles, in preparation for their new arrival.
A source told TMZ the house is 'an Italian-style villa, with a gym, movie theater, full hair and make-up salon, bowling alley, basketball court, indoor and outdoor pool.'
The neighbourhood is loved by A-listers, with Jennifer Aniston just one of the many famous names who has a house in the area.
The couple have jetted to Paris following their baby news for a so-called 'babymoon', a source told Us Weekly, as they 'just wanted to chill'.
They were seen shopping at designer stores Lanvin and Celine before dining at L'Avenue restaurant in the French capital.
Kim was spotted earlier in the week on a bikini photoshoot.
Officially known as Rowneybury House, this Grade II listed Georgian-style mansion in Hertfordshire was purchased by Posh and Becks shortly after they tied the knot in 1999 - and was instantly renamed Beckingham Palace by the press.They paid £2.5m then, but post-house price boom we expect the property, built in the 1930s and formerly used by the council as a children's home, is now worth much more than that.With David's move to Tottenham Hotspur, the couple will probably be spending a lot more time here again.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have a number of properties together, but this luxurious compound in the Los Feliz neighbourhood of LA is where they and their brood spend their time when working.They are believed to own around two acres worth of real estate, taking in what used to be a number of separate properties.The couple also have a home in their favourite city New Orleans - and were reported to have paid $40m for a mansion in Italy in 2010. PA
OK, so they don't live there together any more, but this is the Surrey mansion that the Coles shared when they were married.After their split Cheryl continued to live there, but its future was uncertain as she was preparing to move across the pond in a bid to break America.They purchased Hurtmore House for £3.5m in 2007, and its value is now believed to still be around the same or perhaps slightly less. PA
You'd expect X Factor supremo Simon Cowell to have a pretty swanky pad, and his main residence in Beverly Hills doesn't disappoint.He first bought the property back in 2004, but it wasn't until 2006 that it was demolished and work began building his dream home.It now has a gym, pool, extensive outdoor entertainment areas and a high-tech media room. X17
And we were even more surprised when Kerry ditched her last place to move into this EVEN BIGGER mansion, also in Surrey.This one is reported to be costing her £5,500-a-month - although her management company is helping her out with the rent.She said she wanted more privacy and more space for her four kids. Bigpicturesphoto.com
We were all surprised when the recently bankrupt Kerry Katona moved down south - and into this rather expensive luxury pile in Surrey.She was reported to be renting the seven-bedroom, four-bathroom barn conversion for a whopping £3,500-a-month - so she must still be earning a decent amount.But then again she did sell the house that she'd previously bought for her mum to live in... PA
Kylie Minogue lived in this posh mansion block in London's pricey South Kensington for around 15 years before selling up in 2010.She has now set up home with boyfriend Andres Velencoso in a new place nearby, but we bet this place will end up with a blue plaque.The four-bed flat was on the market for £4m, but we're afraid we don't know if it sold or, if so, what price it fetched. PA
We took it with a pinch of salt when Lily Allen declared that she was moving out of London to live in the countryside, but lo and behold she only went and did it.The once-notorious party girl spent a reported £3m on this lovely period home in the Cotswolds - close to other celebs such as Kate Moss and Liz Hurley.A year or two later and she really seems to have settled into country life, settling down with boyfriend Sam Cooper at the six-bed pad - which we understand boasts a croquet lawn. PA
Lindsay Lohan moved into this nice little place in Venice Beach, LA, when she was granted permission to leave her rehab facility at the end of 2010.Bizarrely, her new pad is right next door to her former girlfriend Samantha Ronson's house - who was reported to be angry at Li-Lo's arrival.But that may have been wrong, because they were later spotted enjoying dinner out together. BauerGriffin
Madge has been a London resident for years now, and currently resides in this 10-bedroom Georgian townhouse in artsy Marylebone.She and ex-hubby Guy Richie paid £6m for the pad back in 2007 - and she also has two nearby mews houses which staff live in.She reportedly faced competition from comic Jennifer Saunders and photographer Mario Testino to buy this house - but she's a woman used to getting her way and it looks like she did! PA
Probably the most famous (or perhaps infamous?) home of the celebrity era - Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara County, California, was named after the island in Peter Pan.And the story of the boy who never grew up was clearly important to Jacko - who had a private amusement park, zoo and numerous statues of children installed at the property at a cost of many millions.Since his death there in 2009, the home has reverted to a family trust and its future is uncertain. PA
Until recently Russ lived in a north London flat, but splashed out on this £2.2m luxury pad for himself and (now) bride Katy Perry at the end of 2009.It's only got four bedrooms, but they must all be a decent size - and it has a decent pool too.Plus that screen of trees must be handy for keeping the paps at bay when Katy fancies a dip. PA
Hollywood A-listers TomKat obviously have the obligatory mansion in LA - but also own this rather large property in West Sussex.The six-bedroom home they snapped up for £2.5m just after getting married in 2006 is in East Grinstead - the same town that has the dubious honour of being the UK HQ of Scientology.As anyone who's visited East Grinstead will know, it's not exactly party central - so we bet the couple's breaks to the UK are a real laugh-a-minute.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK - Oct. 21, 2003 - It's all about blood and nuts . . . and bolts and screws . . . at this Saturday's sixth-annual OKBEST robotics competition, held at Oklahoma Christian University.
The OKBEST (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) contest, featuring 400 student competitors on 25 high school and junior high teams from around the state, requires the teams to build a working robot that can travel a course and complete specific tasks in head-to-head competition.
The event begins at noon in the Payne Athletic Center on the OC campus. A preliminary round precedes the finals, which run from 4:20 p.m. to 7 p.m. Winning teams will advance to the TexasBEST regional competition Nov. 21-22 at Texas A&M University.
For this year's contest, themed "Transfusion Confusion," the students were required to build a robot exclusively from a big box of "stuff" (including wood, plastic, nuts, bolts, screws, rods, etc.) and a box full of electric motors and remote-control equipment. During the competition, teams will have three minutes for their robots to navigate the course, capture balloons representing blood cells, then sort and store the balloons while trying to defend against other robots attempting to perform the same tasks.
"The whole purpose of the contest is to help junior high and high school kids learn technical and design aspects of science and engineering, realize they can be a lot of fun, and maybe decide to go on to college and study those areas," said Jim Cutbirth, OC professor of mechanical engineering and co-chair of the event. "I've had a number of teachers tell me that their students have made decisions to go into science or engineering fields after participating in the contest."
The teams competing in this year's event include: Bishop Kelley High School, Bowlegs High School, Bristow High School, Dimensions Academy High School, Inola High School, John Marshall High School, Mannford High School, Mustang High School, Norman North High School, Oklahoma Christian School, Piedmont High School, Putnam City West High School, Shawnee High School, Southwest Covenant School, Strother High School, Tulsa High School for Science and Technology, Tulsa Memorial High School, Warner High School, Waurika High School, Wayne High School, Western Heights High School, Hefner Middle School, Mayfield Middle School, Meeker Middle School, Shidler Public School and Western Oaks Middle School.
At last year's competition, Norman North won the OKBEST award for the third time in five years while Western Heights earned top honors in the robotics division.
OKBEST is the central hub location for Best Robotics, Inc. Oklahoma Christian University and ConocoPhillips provide corporate sponsorship, with The Boeing Company and Seagate Technologies serving as platinum sponsors. Other sponsors include the Federal Aviation Administration, Ford Audio/Video, Home Depot, JTS Engineering, Tinker Air Force Base and the Engineering Club of Oklahoma City.
There is no cost to the schools or students to participate in the competition. The sponsorships allow each school to be provided all the supplies necessary to design and build their robots. The School of Engineering at Oklahoma Christian has coordinated and hosted OKBEST all six years, and helped launch another hub in northern Oklahoma that will host a separate contest for 20 additional teams in Alva next weekend.
"Our eventual goal is to have three regions in the state," Cutbirth said. "We're excited because we have more teams in Oklahoma than ever before. Teams from both contests will advance to TexasBEST so our state will be represented in greater numbers."
For more information about OKBEST, contact Cutbirth at email@example.com or at 405.425.5410, or visit www.okbest.org.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by savvy4 Attractive and functional I needed a couple of containers for my desk paraphernalia and the usual pen cups weren't tall enough. This set fits the bill. One for my pens and pencils, one for scissors etc. They look fabulous on my desk! May 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by zombiexrockstar I love these!!! I bought three of these in Eugene, Or (because I do not have a World Market in my area). I drink tea frequently but because more and more brands are dismissing the outside packaging of individual tea bags, I needed something to store the leftover tea bags in. When I saw these I got so excited! I've been using them and they work so well. I would definitely recommend them as for yourself or as a gift for a tea lover. (o: May 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by azmom2dogs GREAT TEA TINS I'm so thrilled I ran across these tins at such a great price. I buy a lot of loose leaf tea and buying tins from the tea websites is ridiculously expensive. All these tins (I bought one of each...8 total) are well made and have the additional metal freshness seal before the lid. Nice colors....you just can't get a better tin and such a great price! December 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cindy2 Love these Have bought much more expensive tea tins and these work just as well and are more stylish...definitely a good buy! October 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SLee Perfect These tins are very pretty. They seal great to preserve tea freshness and they are a good size, not too big nor to small. October 18, 2013

An unusual modern-style dollhouse. This big three story chalet comes in two parts. Kids can rearrange them into different configurations. The open wall and roof design makes it accessible by several children at a time. We are not crazy about the color scheme and we wish it came with play figures as well as the furniture. Note: the colors online are different from the toy we tested. The roof is orange not yellow as pictured. Figures are extra. Made of recycled rubber wood, it has the look of pressed or composition board and it is stained, rather than painted. 3 & up.

Happy-go-lucky Elmo is bubbling over with laughs again. Press his foot and his laughing begins, squeeze the remote control fishbowl and he laughs and wiggles even more. Tickle his tummy and Elmo not only laughs, he tells little jokes, too. Guaranteed to bring on a case of the giggles, this season's Elmo is smaller than he used to be and not too cuddly. You can feel the mechanism through his plush body. That said, this is a novelty toy that will be a sure fire favorite of kids and grown-ups alike. 18 months and up.
SNAP: Activating Elmo just might interest kids who need to work on strengthening hands and fingers. Elmo certainly will motivate them and there are three different ways to discover and remember how he moves. Squeeze his foot, tickle his tummy and press the remote. That's a lot of ways to make things happen. Is it a long term toy? Probably not. This is one of those novelty items that has some redeeming features.
Age: Toddlers, Preschool. Award Year: 2012. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Though the shape is larger than the usual easy-to-read series book, this true beginner's book uses very few words and colorful illustrations that will appeal to new readers. Fun for working on rhyming, as well. Level 1

Told in lyrical verse, this ode to grandmas takes a look at the diversity of grandmas in the world. Far from the old stereotypes, the artist and author remind us that they not only don�t all look alike, they all do different things, though they all have one thing in common--the love they have for their grandchildren. A keeper! 3 & up

From toddlers to preschoolers, this 25-piece set will work flat on the floor or standing on stout legs. The surface has a roll around roadway for the vehicle and figure. Blocks can be stored under the four pieces of the tabletop that lift out. This has chunky pieces that are safe for toddlers and fit little hands. The figure is upsized as well for safe play. Set includes stickers that can be added. Marked 1-5. Probably optimal use is 1-3.
SNAP: Big chunky pieces make this a useful first building set. As you play with your child, use the playing pieces for building dexterity as well as language and hands-on understanding of size and color concepts.Ideal for use on the floor or on tabletop. To adapt, you can velcro the flat table to a surface that is the right height for your child.

A classic piece of equipment for pretend play. This has no sounds except the ones your child will make. Beautifully finished in white, with licks of yellow and natural wood, this is not the usual gender specific pink and will be enjoyed by boys as well as girls. Crafted with round edges and smooth surfaces, this wooden kitchen has red dials that turn on the stove with two pretend burners, an oven, and frig underneath. We like the sink with turning faucets and a small take-out plastic tub that can actually hold water for sudsy play. There is a rack at the top for storing plates and utensils, however the plates, etc. do not come with the kitchen. You can buy Hape wooden accessories or stock up on sturdy plastic ones for soap and water fun. Unlike so many oversized kitchens, this will not take up most of a room. It is scaled down but ideal for 3 and up.

Huggalos are soft huggable dolls with a dedicated place on their chest for placing a photo of someone special. There's Doodle Dude (made of canvas and intended to be written on), Camo Joe (done in green fleece camaflouge), Huggsley (our favorite - he comes with a cape and is clearly the super hero of the line), and Camo Flo (same idea as Camo Joe but done in pink). We think this collection will have an audience with not only the preschool set--but tweens/teens. The line has a sense of humor and whimsy to it that will likely have wide appeal.
SNAP: Having a photo of a family member can be a comfort take-along when going out into the world. This one is less young looking than most and a little more amusing.

Three feet tall and ready to listen, dance, and play pretend, Pumpkin is dressed in an adorable striped dress. She has rosy cheeks, and reddish hair. Oversized dolls like this one become more than decorations in a child's room. They often become the play companion of tea parties, storytime, and bedtime, too. Blabla makes a number of giant size dolls. This is the most humanoid of the group and a smaller version of the doll is also available.
Age: Toddlers, Preschool, Early School Years. Award Year: 2012.
If you are handing your iphone or ipod touch to your child you may want to seriously consider the Fisher Price case that protects the screen against drips and sticky hands. It has a sturdy shell that should cushion a fall, but the company does not make that claim. There is a hole for the camera and you can download free learning apps. This is available in blue or pink. We are not recommending that preschool apps are a great learning tool or that time spent playing with the small screen is time well spent. We have serious concerns and recognize that small children learn best by interacting with people and real things. But, recognizing that this is one of many ways children try on the world, we are simply suggesting this as a way of protecting your equipment.

Designed as a first game, this is likely to be a hit with your older toddler. It comes with a big fabric cube with different color on each face. Toss the cube and then pick a card that matches. Take turns with your toddler doing what the card shows. The cards have words and actions such as wave bye-bye, count your fingers, moo like a cow, etc. Learning to take turns and matching the colors of cards and cube all provide active playing and interacting. This is as much about playing together and having your attention as it is about the actions involved. Roll & Play is a cleverly designed toy for developing color concepts as well as other early language and pre-reading skills. Most of the actions will need modeling, but that will be part of the fun, especially if you ham it up. They say 18 months and up. We think this is a better bet for twos and up, but a clever idea for 2 or more players.
SNAP: Introduce the cards before you play. Read through them and practice what they say to do. You might want to introduce just one of each color for the first game or two and add another set of six the next time you play. There are 48 cards, so this will be a game you can build on gradually. The cards are well designed so that no real reading is needed once they get the idea of what the card is showing. The color cube can also be used for other games. New for 2014, is Move & Groove, intended as your child's first dance game. It comes with the same cube and cards that you follow along. Our problem with this version is that "Walk Like an Egyptian" or "Sleepwalk" or "Snap Your Fingers" or "Turn to the Right" are concepts way beyond 18 month olds. While we think older preschoolers will like this game, we find the age too low.

AILA Doc No. 04102010 | Dated October 20, 2004
October 20, 2004
Dear Member of Congress:
As the House and Senate work to reconcile their respective "9-11 Commission recommendations" bills in conference, we ask that you reject the anti-refugee provisions of the House-passed H.R. 10.
We are particularly concerned that some of these provisions will put the lives and safety of victims of torture at risk. The bill will allow non-citizens, including those who are likely to face torture, to be deported without a court hearing; will make it much more difficult for genuine refugees to prove their asylum cases; and will deprive victims of torture and other persecution of meaningful judicial review.
Included by House leadership over the objections of the 9-11 Commission and 9-11 victims' family members, these measures do nothing to assist in the war on terror. Instead, they place broad new restrictions on refugees seeking asylum, subjecting them to fast-track deportations and denying them protection from persecution and the fundamental right of judicial review.
Specifically, we the undersigned, oppose the following provisions of H.R. 10:
Please see the enclosed document for a detailed legal analysis of these objectionable H.R. 10 provisions. Thank you for your consideration.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, GA -- Maybe it's because he's not running for
re-election after 43 years in law enforcement, the last 16 as Douglas
County Sheriff, but Phil Miller is making national headlines for jumping
into the Duck Dynasty controversy.
Specifically, he is hitting back against the Arts and Entertainment network after it suspended Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson for some anti-gay comments in a recent GQ
Magazine article.
STORY: 'Duck Dynasty' family: No show without Phil
"In my opinion he was being punished because he believed in the Bible," Miller told WXIA Monday.
Miller said he shares the same beliefs Robertson expressed about a book prominently displayed on his desk.
"That's my belief in Christianity and my belief in the Bible and my belief that
people ought not be punished for their belief," Miller said.
retaliation for Robertson's suspension, Sheriff Miller is cutting ties
with A&E's Scared Straight program, which has filmed several
episodes in his jail.
"To me it was a tool to add some credence
to what I was saying and let everybody know that I meant what I was
saying," he explained.
Miller's Facebook page has drawn comments from all over, mostly supportive, but some condemning him as well.
"Those people have the right to say that just like I hope I have the right to say what I said," he added.
Cracker Barrel restaurants changed their minds Sunday about banning
Duck Dynasty merchandise from their gift shops after a storm of
protests, saying, "You told us we were wrong. We listened."
STORY: Cracker Barrel pulls select 'Duck Dynasty' items
Entertainment Weekly also posted a weekend story that Robertson may soon return to
the hugely popular TV show, but so far, that hasn't been confirmed. In his first interview since being suspended, Robertson told MailOnline Sunday that he will not apologize for condemning the sin and not the sinner. Sheriff Miller agrees.
"As a Christian, I believe that if
I hate you for what you do or for what you are I don't believe I can go
to Heaven either," he added.

Waveguide Adapter
Application ID: 140
This is a model of an adapter for microwave propagation in the transition between a rectangular and an elliptical waveguide. Such waveguide adapters are designed to keep energy losses due to reflections at a minimum for the operating frequencies. To investigate the characteristics of the adapter, the simulation includes a wave traveling from a rectangular waveguide through the adapter and into an elliptical waveguide. The S-parameters are calculated as functions of the frequency. The involved frequencies are all in the single-mode range of the waveguide, that is, the frequency range where only one mode is propagating in the waveguide.

Man succumbs to injuries from January traffic crash
Published: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 11:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 11:50 a.m.
OCALA - A man struck by a car while he was crossing a busy roadway last month has died.
Florida Highway Patrol officials said Stephen R. Cole, 48, died Tuesday at Ocala Regional Medical Center.
At about 8:24 p.m. on Jan. 28, Cole was walking south, crossing State Road 200, just east of the intersection at Steeplechase Plaza, according to a FHP report.
Trooper Hector Colon reported that a 2012 Toyota Camry driven by Dorothy B. Armstrong, 81, of Ocala, was eastbound on SR 200, going through the intersection under a green light.
Cole stepped off the grassy median in front of the car, according to FHP. He was taken by ambulance to ORMC for treatment.
Armstrong and her husband, John R. Armstrong, 88, a passenger in the car, were wearing seat belts and were not injured in the crash.
Troopers said Cole was considered homeless. It was not known where he was headed at the time of the accident.
Officials said no one was ticketed, but the investigation remains open.
Cole's death is the fourth traffic fatality in the county this year

A 27-year-old college student arrested yesterday by federal agents is charged with modding video game consoles.
Matthew Lloyd Crippen, who attends Cal State Fullerton, was charged with tweaking systems from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. The arrest was made by agents of the U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), reports NBC Los Angeles.
Modifying consoles to circumvent video game copyright protection measures is a federal offense under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. The investigation into Crippen's activities came following a complaint by the Entertainment Software Association; the trade group lobbies on behalf of U.S. video game publishers.
Special Agent in Charge Robert Schoch, who heads the ICE office in L.A. commented on the bust:
Playing with games in this way is not a game — it is criminal. Piracy, counterfeiting and other intellectual property rights violations not only cost U.S. businesses jobs and billions of dollars a year in lost revenue, they can also pose significant health and safety risks to consumers.

iPhone (using iCal) is able to send Calender entries to Zimbra, but does not sync entries created via Webinterface.
The iPhone is set to check the calendar every 15 minutes and does so. Looking through the logs and traffic everything seems to be in order.
The only thing that seems a bit weird is this part of the response:
Is this default-calendar correct?Code:<D:resourcetype> <D:collection/> <C:calendar xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"/> <Y:default-calendar xmlns:Y="http://yahoo.com/ns/"/> </D:resourcetype>
Is this the reason the iPhone doesnt sync the entries?

Donna Druchunas
I grew up learning many different crafts from my mother and grandmothers including knitting, crochet, rug-hooking, embroidery, and sewing. After a 25 year vacation from crafts, I started knitting again and learned to spin and dye wool with natural dyes.
Before I returned to knitting, I spent almost 20 years working in corporate cubicles as a writer, designer, and creative services manager. My cubes were in military training facilities, small businesses, and large corporations. During that time, I wrote and designed marketing materials, training courses and technical manuals for many types of hardware and software products.
I also streamlined documentation production processes for several companies. I was recruited by Fujitsu-ICL Systems and Hewlett-Packard's Colorado storage division to establish in-house creative services departments and to implement procedures based on systems I originated earlier for the US Navy Fighter Weapons School at NAS Miramar and Pyxis Corporation in San Diego.
After all that time, I rebelled and left my cubicle behind to combine my interest in knitting with my skill at writing easy-to-follow instructions. My designs and articles have been featured in Knitty, Piecework, Interweave Knits, as well as other knitting magazines, and I design patterns for several yarn companies. I teach around the US and in Europe, and my first online class, Knit Sock Workshop is available on Craftsy.
I was born in New York City, but today I live in Vermont with my husband, my mother, and three cats, who are very helpful when it comes to testing new knitting designs!

Things to do before the world ends
ACCORDING TO THE Mayans - who are a pretty reliable group of people - the world will be ending Dec. 21. I have a bad habit of putting things off, but before it's all over, I'd like to do the following stuff:
(By the way, speaking of the end of the world, there are two consumer schools of thought: Some people will store up on stuff, in case they survive the impending apocalypse; others are winding down their inventory because, as my Uncle Stanislav says, "You can't take it with you," so there's no reason to have seven cans of Bumble Bee chunk light tuna lying around come doomsday. Couch Slouch leans toward the latter group, plus I'm also deleting the 17 hours of "The Tim McCarver Show" on my DVR.)
Ask The Slouch
Q. Which lasts longer, Standard Time or Tebow Time? (Mark Cohen; Gibsonia, Pa.)
A. Actually, I think Tebow Time is similar to the swallows of San Juan Capistrano - everyone awaits their arrival, then no one ever thinks about them the rest of the year.
Q. I watched the entire World Series of Poker Main Event final table telecast - Lon McEachern and Antonio Esfandiari are intelligent, well-spoken and telegenic poker analysts. What do you bring to the table? (J.B. Koch; Waukesha, Wis.)
A. The underbelly of the human condition.
Q. Now that David Stern is retiring, will Gary Bettman realize his life's dream of merging the four major sports into a single corporate collective and locking out all the players with one stroke? (Glenn Springstead; Columbia, Md.)
A. Pay the man, Shirley.
You, too, can enter the $1.25 AskThe Slouch Cash Giveaway. Just e-mail email@example.com and, if your question is used, you win $1.25 in cash!

Ok .... I don't have all the answers, but here's my best shot at several of them:
1-2) In civilized lands (which usually follow water sources at first and then fill in the space around and between), you'll have villages spaced roughly at 5 to 15 mile intervals (i.e. within a few hours' walk). These villages are generally tiny farming communities (hence the countryside/farmlands you usually see). Towns and/or cities crop up much less frequently, and not closer than 30 miles or so apart (and that's pretty darn close). How many of those villages, towns, and cities you have will depend greatly upon how many people you have and how densely they're packed into the explored areas of the world/country.
3) It really depends on how old the world is. Land plates (assuming your world has plate tectonics, which I am assuming since you said earthlike) tend to be "lighter" than oceanic plates. So what happens over billions of years is that you start with small amounts of land, but then as the tectonics happen and volcanoes do their thing, the land grows and grows. So 2 landmasses isn't unreasonable, but your world will be very young (and very volcanically active).
4) The answer for this flows from 3 ... since your planet is really young and very volcanically active, it's perfectly reasonable to have archipelagos all over the place. They'll be volcanic (look at hawai'i, the aleutian islands, japan).
5) The short answer is that mountains form when tectonic plates come together, or when they break apart. Random volcanoes happen at hotspots in the earth's mantle (molten layer beneath the solid crust). The long answer is harder to just post up, but this link gives some great demonstrations of the process (and explains what I said in answer 3 about land area continuing to grow over time).
6) This is really only possible while still having a life-sustaining planet if it's localized (look at the weather in Seattle, WA, or there's a city in northern europe somewhere that rains just about every single day, according to the discovery channel). If there's cloud cover everywhere, all the time, it'll throw your planet into a REALLY nasty ice age (not enough light gets through to warm the planet). In fact, this is how they think we ended up with a snowball earth for a while. I suppose if your planet was a lot closer to its sun this might save it from boiling, but my knowledge of those consequences is too limited to speak to. I'd suggest a single localized area of murk instead.
7) Water for rivers comes from 2 places: the sky, or underground. A lot of rivers start in mountains because (a) they get a lot of snow, which then melts and has to go somewhere, and (b) there's a lot of pressure in the ground in mountainous areas (which is what makes the mountains happen in the first place) which forces the water up out of the ground, so you get a lot of springs. But, it rains everywhere and there are springs everywhere. So rivers can start just about anywhere, but often they'll join up with one that started on a mountain someplace.
Hope that helps!
Oh, and I know I sent the link via the pm, but for the sake of those reading because they have similar questions, please check out the resources located here: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ding-Resources and here: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...world-building
There's some good stuff in there, and those are just the two most recent threads. A search on "worldbuilding resources" or something similar on the guild forums should yield a plethora of information.

Hi guys,
I've lurked you for a while, actually I've also used some of your maps for my RPGs games (I LOVED Yphyrion. Can't remember who did that map but it was just what I was looking for).
Then, today I was looking at my wall, with 5 maps hanging and I realized in a flash how much I love maps. Of the real world as well as fantasy worlds. When I sometimes take my pencil and draw maps stories, flavours, colours and feelings spontaneously start to flow, and is often to know what can happen in that worlds that I play RPGs =)
A really huge THANKS to all the active members of this site for all the work and the love you put in it.
Read you around,

Inductive Heating of Copper Cylinder
Application ID: 148
The induced currents in a copper cylinder produce heat that in turn change the electrical conductivity. This means that the field propagation has to be solved simultaneously with the heat transfer through the cylinder and surrounding system.
This model shows this coupling between eddy currents and heat transfer as a tutorial example.

Aaron Neville and folk-blues-country vocalist Maria Muldaur perform "Amazing Grace" at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, on November 26, 1989. Muldaur's career began as part of the American folk music revival and the Greenwich Village scene of the early 1960s.
For your weekend viewing pleasure, here's Elvis Costello accompanied by Allen Toussaint, the Crescent City Horns (including Big Sam Williams) and the Imposters, live from the Montreal Jazz Festival on July 3, 2006. This video is 56 minutes long, selected from a 3 hour show--not the "full show" as the YouTube poster mistakenly claims.
Ella Fitzgerald's first appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1969, then held at the Montreux Casino, included this scat version of "One Note Samba". She's backed by the Tommy Flanagan Trio. The YouTube video mistakenly identifies this as "a packed New Orleans" performance, even though "Montreux" is clearly visible in the background, e.g.
Two Guardians of the Groove, Bonnie Raitt and Allen Toussaint, team up on "What Is Success" at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans in 2006. The song dates from around 1970, having appeared on Toussaint's eponymous second solo album, also issued as From a Whisper to a Scream.
Fall arrives tonight and with the end of summer I thought it be a great time to review the experience of Bonnaroo this summer. The Boudin Man and Old Man River attended 2014 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival held on June 12 through 15.
The 2014 Americana Music Awards were held on September 17 at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium (home of the Grand Ole Opry). New Orleans' Hurray for the Riff Raff was nominated for Best Emerging Artist but lost out to Sturgill Simpson.

Dissociation in a Tubular Reactor
Application ID: 221
Tubular reactors are often used in continuous large-scale production, for example in the petroleum industry. One key design parameter is the conversion, or the amount of reactant that reacts to form the desired product. In order to achieve high conversion, process engineers optimize the reactor design: its length, width and heating system. An accurate reactor model is a very useful tool, both at the design stage and in tuning an existing reactor.
This example deals with a gas-phase dissociation process, where species A reacts to form B. The model illustrates the use of several attractive features in the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module:
- The use of the Transport of Concentrated Species to account for multicomponent diffusion.
- How to couple the variable density to a Laminar Flow interface.
- Implementation of temperature- and composition-dependent reaction kinetics.
- The use of a mapped mesh, which is structured, to discretize a long and thin geometry, typical for tubular reactors
- How to include heat balances and how to couple these to both the mass balances and the velocity field

"What's going on today?" It's an innocent question. Sometimes asked by students wondering what the Bethel Student Association has planned or alumni looking for opportunities to connect.
This fall marks the end of an era at Bethel. Dr. Bill Doyle, vice president for Information Technology Services, will be retiring after 30 years at Bethel. Bill, as he likes to be called, has helped Bethel navigate the challenges as higher-ed has embraced technology as part of the teaching and learning process. As a web team, we are also thankful for Bill's visionary leadership. It was Bill (and his counterpart in Communications and Marketing, Sherie Lindvall), who agreed to bring together ITS and C&M personnel to form Web Services over 3 years ago. It was a new idea in higher-ed and only because of it have we been able to accomplish such a successful redesign of Bethel's website. Bill also has helped the University transition to Google Apps for Education, and most notably implement Banner a new ERP.
So we're just over a year from the launch of our site and we've been measuring our progress fairly closely.
It's been a long year trying to rewrite a majority of our content. For anyone who has done this before you know it's simply hard. I often get the question why can't we just copy content from our old site to our new one? In fact, if I'm honest, I've asked myself that same question.
That's why its important to have a way of measuring your efforts--a way of evaluating the impact that your work is making on your website audience.
In our case this is what keeps me going, through the difficult process. After a year of plowing forward--some days in miles but most days in inches--our site visits are up, our pageviews are up, and virtually every other key indicator points toward success.

Bon Vital' Foot BalmBon Vital' Foot Balm has been providing wellness for American feet for over eleven years, but this effective product has an even longer history. Bon Vital' Foot Balm is made from the original formula developed more than 60 years ago, originating from the Austrian Alpine region near Salzburg. Most foot balms available in the United States are basically a hand lotion scented with a few drops of peppermint oil. Our Original Formula Bon Vital' Foot Balm is a true Foot Balm, not just scented lotion.Bon Vital' Foot Balm works because its formulation soothes, heals, and comforts tender skin and aching muscles. Its ingredients have been carefully balanced to bring true relief, not just a pleasant scent and superficial tingle. Use Bon Vital' Foot Balm daily to help relieve swelling and tenderness and leave the skin feeling soft and soothes muscles, and leaves skin soft and refreshed. Available in 3.38 oz tube, 36 oz with Euro pump, 1 gal container, Display Rack with (12) 3.3 oz. tubes or Gravity Dispenser with (100) .25 oz. samples.
I have tried other foot lotions, creams and have found this foot balm to be the best I've found. It's creamy, workable and moisturizing.
The very best for most feet. I love the glide and my client's love the scent.
Smells great, good glide, clients cannot feel or smell this foot balm. So good for the therapist but the client cannot tell your using a special cream for the feet.
Been using this product for 2 years now on myself and patients. Great product.
I have just started looking for the perfect foot balm and I am still looking. This is the 2nd one I tried and although it does what it says it does it just dosnt give me that "WOW" factor. I feel that tingling feeling after the massage but only very slightly. Maybe what I'm looking for doesnt exist. but until I find it, I will buy this again.

QA1 Shocks and Struts - Shocked And AwedWritten by Johnny Hunkins on April 1, 2010 QA1 Rolls Out A New Series Of Street And Track Shocks To Bolster Up Its Already Impressive Product Line.
Trade show season in the automotive aftermarket always packs a few pleasant surprises. Just when you think things can't get any better, savvy manufacturers figure out a way to up the technological and performance ante. We were reminded of this once again at last winter's Performance Racing Industry show, while spending a few minutes chatting with engineers in the QA1 booth. The company's comprehensive catalog of top-notch adjustable shocks and coilover kits have made them a favorite with hot rodders, but it's raising the bar even higher. In addition to its wildly popular single- and double-adjustable dampeners, QA1 is rolling out a line of budget-priced, non-adjustable performance shocks as well as new adjustable struts.
The new QA1 non-adjustable Stocker Stars are premium small-body shocks that retail for about $90, and bolt right up to the factory mounting points. They feature the same twin-tube design and durable machined aluminum bodies as QA1's premium shocks, but at an extremely affordable price. "Our new non-adjustable shocks are perfect for people who want an aluminum high-performance replacement shock for $90, but are probably more interested in cruising than going to the road course," says Corey Flynn of QA1. Unlike most replacement shocks, the new Stocker Star NA shocks can be serviced, revalved, and rebuilt. These obviously aren't your typical throwaway shocks. They look great, and are the last set of shocks you'll ever have to buy.
For street/strip enthusiasts, QA1's new Gen 3 Camaro and '79-present Mustang struts should prove equally exciting. With an all-aluminum design, deflective-disc valving, and the capability to be rebuilt and revalved, these struts offer the same capabilities as QA1's most popular shocks. Flynn says, "These struts are a great addition to the marketplace. They're available in single-, double-, and R-series valving, so no matter what style of driving you're going to do, we have you covered."
While QA1's newly expanded lineup offers more choices than ever, selecting the right set for your car doesn't have to be confusing. "The foundation of QA1's product line is our Proma Star and Stocker Star shocks, and they're both available as single- and double-adjustable units. The main difference between them is that the Stocker Stars bolt to the factory shock mounts, while the Proma Stars are for coilover conversions," Flynn says. "Furthermore, our Stocker Star, Stocker Star NA, Proma Star, and R-series shocks are available for most muscle car and domestic late-model applications."
By springtime, QA1 will also have a cool wireless remote adjust kit for all QA1 adjustable shocks. Stay tuned!

Ideally, when a shock absorbs a bump, it shouldn't exert loads back into the suspension on the rebound stroke. This leads to a stiff ride, and adds unwanted spring rate. To prevent this from happening, QA1 shocks use a twin-tube, non-gas design. Oil travels through the shock body to control the movement of the rod, and a deflective disc valve attached to the bottom of the rod manages how much oil flows between the bottom and top halves of the shock. Precisely controlling this valve is what gives QA1 shocks such a wide range of adjustability. It's literally NASCAR technology for the street.There's no set industry standard on how to test shocks, so QA1 has created its own by dyno testing every shock it makes. The dyno is essentially a load cell that measure how quickly the shock rod accelerates in inches per second on both compression and rebound for a given amount of force. During the testing process, QA1 simulates suspension loads and bumps of varying degrees to make sure the shocks perform as expected. Each click of the adjustment knob is also tested to ensure that it changes the valving as it should.QA1 recommends its double-adjustable Stocker Star shocks for vehicles that require a direct bolt-on shock, and that also require a greater degree of adjustability for more serious performance applications. Our '75 Laguna will see some autocross, road course, and dragstrip work, so our suspension supplier, Global West, likes the QA1's independent adjustment for compression and rebound.These graphs extrapolated from the shock dyno illustrate the acceleration rate of a shock, with the Y-axis representing the force (pounds) exerted on the shock rod, and the X-axis representing the acceleration of the rod in inches per second. The top half of the graph is for the compression stroke of the shock, while the bottom half is for rebound. As the shock valving is stiffened up, the lines on the graph separate farther from zero. To put it succinctly, the flatter and more linear the slope of the lines, the more predictably a shock will respond to varying loads. The goal is to design a shock that exhibits minimal changes in acceleration regardless of the size of the loads. With double-adjustable shocks, this data also ensures that changing the compression valving doesn't affect the rebound valving and vice versa.For our '68 Chevelle, which sees mostly street duty and some drag race action, the single-adjustable Stocker Star provided the necessary adjustability for our occasional trips to the dragstrip. The single adjustment knob allows the shock damping to be brought in line with the spring stiffness and vehicle weight. While OEMs have the luxury of matching the spring rate, shock valving, vehicle weight, and ride quality in a non-adjustable shock, the hot rod builder is on the hook for matching the shock to the rest of the car. The single adjustment knob allows just that.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA9) -- D.C. cab drivers say they are pulling their cabs from the streets rather than risk a $250 ticket plus towing fees for not displaying the new dome light approved by the Taxi Cab Commission.
The light had to be displayed beginning November 1st.
The Taxicab Commission says 25 tickets and tows have occurred thus far. 3,810 cabs were displaying the new lights that tell if a cab is on or off duty.
But there are 6,500 hacker licenses in DC and that can only mean many hundreds of drivers are operating without the new dome lights or they have parked their vehicles and that could impact passengers need to hail a cab.
Drivers say there is a lengthy wait at the installation garages. and the price has gone up from less than $200 to nearly $500 for the lights.
A march by cab drivers on Mayor Gray's office was called off just as it was beginning after the Mayor's staff agreed to a meeting to discuss all the drivers grievances.

600 DUI Cases Fail Due to Expired Breathalyzer Certifications
While a driver may be arrested for a DUI, there are several obstacles that the prosecutor must overcome before successfully convicting that driver on official charges.
Potential errors made by police officers during a DUI arrest include failing to follow standard police procedures, conducting an illegal search or seizure, or giving a faulty breathalyzer test.
Errors such as flawed breathalyzer tests can be a legal nightmare for police departments, as evidenced by a recent incident in Kentucky in which several alleged DUI drivers may be set free after the police made a very technical mistake.
According to an investigative report from Louisville's Courier-Journal, the results from alcohol breath tests that were used against roughly 600 drivers may be inadmissible in court after police discovered that four lab technicians had let their licenses lapse.
In what the local prosecutor called a "very unfortunate situation," hundreds of breath test results have been challenged because they were performed by lab technicians who were working with expired certifications.
The inadmissibility of these breath tests could lead to dropped cases against hundreds of suspected DUI drivers because the breath tests are often the best evidence police can present against people suspected of drunk driving.
According to a Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell, whose cases will be weakened if the breath tests results are thrown out, these tests represent "the single most important piece of evidence at trial."
He also observed that the results of portable breathalyzer tests, which are used in the field as a first line of detection by police officers, are not admissible in court because of their unreliability.
Thus, police typically rely on blood or breath tests that are administered at the police station after the arrest. These tests, it appears, are much more reliable than the portable units used by police officers.
O'Connell expects that many DUI lawyers will try to reverse convictions for their clients that were supported by faulty tests.
He fears that many convicted drunk drivers may be released, unless state authorities can support their convictions with other compelling evidence, such as video of the driver during the arrest, witness testimony, or the results of field sobriety tests.
And, even if the defendants are able to escape DUI charges, prosecutors may still try to convict them on other charges, like public intoxication, disturbing the peace, alcohol intoxication, and wanton endangerment, none of which require breath tests at trial.
Despite these potential alternatives, though, Louisville police are embarrassed by the incident, which they claim is very rare and hasn't happened before in Jefferson County.
Of course, while the police and state attorneys may be upset, there are hundreds of suspected drunk drivers in Louisville who can't believe their good fortune.

Hawaii Population 2016
At the 2010 census the population of Hawaii was declared at a total of 1,360,301. Estimates of the population are produced in the years between censuses – in 2011 the population was estimated to be 1,374,810 and in 2012 this had risen to 1,392,313.
Hawaii Population 2014
Although no estimate has yet been released for this year, if we extrapolate those statistics, it is clear that population of Hawaii in 2013 will pass 1.4 million. Based on a growth rate of 1.12%, the population is estimated at 1,408,600.
You can read more about the population of Hawaii in this article or, for more information about the country as a whole, you can check out our article on the US Population in 2013.
Based on the 2010 census, Hawaii is now the 40th largest state in the union. Although small in terms of its absolute population, Hawaii is big in terms of one area of census statistics – population density. In total, the islands make up 10,931 square miles of land (28,311 square kilometres) but when it comes to population density, it is ranked number 13 in the US with 214 people per square mile, (82.6 per square kilometre).
Population of Hawaiian Islands
There are eight major islands in Hawaii. Oahu is the largest, with a population of 953,207.
Next largest is Hawaii itself, holding 185,079 people, followed closely by Maui (144,444). The only other island with a sizeable population is Kauai (pop 66,921). The remaining islands are Molokai (7,345), Lanai (3,135), Niihau (170) and Kahoolawe (unpopulated).
Honolulu is the largest city in Hawaii, home to 387,170 of Oahu's people. There are no other cities with more than 50,000 people – the next largest is Pearl City, which is home to 47,698 people.
Hawaii Population History
Although Hawaii only became a US state in 1959 there are population statistics dating back to the beginning of the 20th century. In 1900, the total number of citizens living on the islands was declared at 154,001 and just ten years later that had risen by 24.6% to 191,874.
The US census of 1960 was the first to include Hawaii in its statistics and by that point, the population had grown to 632,772, a 26.6% increase from the 1950 findings. From that stage, the numbers have continued to increase but the percentage increase decade by decade has slowed down – to an extent that the 2010 figures represented a rise of just 12.3% on those declared in 2000.
Natural growth
Hawaii has a healthy gap between birth and death rates and, when figures in this respect were released in 2005, they showed a net gain of 48,111 new Hawaiians in the five years from 2000. Net migration is also a contributory factor and using those figures in 2005 once again, they showed a gain of 16,956 new citizens over and above the statistics from 2000.
Hawaii Demographics
There is a very wide range of cultures and ethnic groups within the population of Hawaii as a whole and at the 2010 census, the total of 1,360,301 was divided as follows:
- 24.7% White (22.7% Non-Hispanic White)
- 1.6% Black or African American
- 0.3% American Indian and Alaska Native
- 38.6% Asian
- 10.0% Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander
- 1.2% from 'Some Other race'
- 23.6% from Two or More Races
Some of these figures make Hawaii unique within America and in particular, there is a higher ratio of Asian Americans in Hawaii than anywhere else in the country.
Natural growth and immigration are likely to rise further and although the percentages aren't exceptionally high compared with other states in the US, this is a densely populated area and as such, the Hawaii population in 2012 is worth monitoring closely until the 2020 census takes place.

text: I live in the Bozeman area but am hoping to rent a few horses to take into the Bob Marshall for an elk hunt. If any of you know a credible place that rents horses or mules that would be awesome. I am taking a friend from out of state hunting this year and he has his mind set on going there. I have tried to tell him I have herd the hunting is not so good in there but doesn't seem to care. So any advice on an elk/ muley hunt in there would be appreciated as well. Thanks

Single serve coffee makers are the rage at the minute. They seem to be the latest fashion accessory for the kitchen. The question is, are they really up to standing the test of time? Or are they just a fad that will fade away over time?
I was dubious when I first noticed them in the marketplace. But after a while, and some nudging from friends who had already made the change, I decided to give them a go. I went out and bought a Keurig K45 Elite Brewing System, after reading reviews online and friends recommendations.
First impressions. It looks good. Sits very nicely in the kitchen, looks elegant. Not an ugly appliance that you feel you need to hide away in a cupboard.
The main appeal with these machines, has to be the speed they make a mug of coffee. Even when time is short, they offer the option of a good cup of coffee. Quick, easy and no mess.
Does my coffee maker meet all these specifications?
Definitely. After only 2-3 minutes the whole coffee making process is completed. That is including heating the water. All I had to do was fill the water reservoir, place the K cup in the holder and press start. Within a few minutes I had a cup of coffee.
There are no spillages, no mess. The only time it is possible to make a slight mess is removing the K cup. Sometimes they can drip a little. I now keep a small dish next to the Keurig to put the K cups in. This makes it easy to carry the left overs to the waste bin.
What does the coffee taste like?
This is easy. Very good. The coffee has a nice aroma, and a smooth taste. I have trialed two different flavors. A black coffee, which had a full bodied flavor but smooth and not bitter. Which was a concern of mine.
The second coffee was a latte. This had a second K cup containing the creme and sugar. This was a beautiful creamy smooth coffee. I have to admit it, the coffee did rival that of my local coffee shop. The only criticism is the size of the cup is a little small. You can make a larger mug, but I find the taste a little watery.
When wanting to make a quick coffee for one person, these single serve coffee makers, fit the bill perfectly. When making for several people, I do not think they are ideal.
The K cups are not cheap. If you use these types of coffee maker on a regular basis, the cost will quickly add up. If you are used to going to a coffee shop, then they will feel cheaper, but on the whole I think they are an expensive way to make coffee.
So are they a fad? To a degree, I think yes. But they do have their place, for a quick easy, but great tasting coffee fix, they are fantastic.

Congrats to Roger Federer + Mirka Vavrinec who gave birth to twin mangoes - eh, girls - late last night.
The 15-time Grand Slammer announced the big news via his Facebook page:
I have some exciting news to share with you: Late last night, in Switzerland, Mirka and I became proud parents of twin girls! We named them Myla Rose and Charlene Riva and they are both healthy and along with their mother, they are doing great. This is the best day of our lives!
Ah yes, welcome to the world MRF + CRF. I can see the hats already though MRF will always stand for Mango to me. *pouts*
Now only about 16 years before the WTA tour becomes watchable again. Oh c'mon, you know one if not both of these babies are already sucking on tennis racquet pacifiers.
SIDE NOTE: Dontcha just love how ballers like Fed + Andy Roddick (who announced DC as his return tourney via his Twitter account) are skipping the mainstream media and announcing the info through their own social media accounts? BRILLS.
Thanks to JadeFoxxy for the tip off!
UPDATE: The media hawks await the first sighting of MRF + CRF at the clinic Bethanien in Zurich where Mirka supposedly gave birth. Baby Watch begins...
