Having spent their entire working lives in the food and hospitality industry - both locally and internationally - new owners, Kurt and Petra Schramm, have all the right qualifications to firmly place Alpenstube on the destination restaurant map in the picturesque surrounds of Hout Bay. Much needed improvements include a new front patio, a revamped outside bar and beer garden, and a fireplace for the cold winters.
Alpenstube offers a very versatile indoor-outdoor dining experience where you can relax and savour an imported German draught beer in the garden, have coffee and homemade pastries on the front patio, and enjoy a leisurely lunch or intimate dinner in the cosy interior. Aside from its large following of locals who carry them through the winter months, Alpenstube is fortunate to have many overseas visitors – German, Dutch and English - who, like the swallows, return year after year to their favourite Hout Bay haunt.
Now open at lunch time, the well-priced menu features traditional specialties such as Geschnetzeltes, thinly sliced port fillet in a creamy mushroom sauce, alongside light meals such as the Chef's Burger, seasonal salads and a couple of soups. Master Chef Kurt has thoughtfully included several menu items specifically for children so that Alpenstube can be enjoyed by the whole family.
The signature dish must surely be the traditional Eisbein, but please call in advance to check availability. Other dinner recommendations are the grilled Fillet Steak, as well as Schnitzels to suit all tastes – pork, veal and chicken. You will also find fresh fish on the menu when available from the harbor. The pastries, desserts and cakes are all homemade, so why not indulge in whatever takes your fancy.
This gorgeous, modern restaurant exudes an ambience that is both bustling and relaxing at the same time. The food is unpretentious, hearty and plenty. Large portions at reasonable prices adorn the plates and the menu is varied and well thought out. Try your hand at a light salad for lunch, plain but tasty. For the hungrier diner the restaurant serves perfectly cooked flame-grilled steaks and large, 200g beef burgers. A big selection of starters, lamb and chicken dishes and seafood is also available.
This beautiful, unique restaurant's eclectic shabby chic feel evokes a feeling of Old World romance that complements the French-inspired gourmet dishes on a seasonal menu. Daily specials on food and decor are quite a treat, so whether it is a flavourful, melt-in-your-mouth meal, a painting or your chair you want to purchase, you will be spoilt for choice.
Located in the Trading Post Complex on Myburgh Street in Somerset West you will find Chez Max. This restaurant offers continental food in a warm and traditional atmosphere.
The food is unpretentious but amazingly well-prepared and tasty. Starters include dishes like a trio of prawns, homemade chicken liver and bacon pate, soup of the day and risotto.
Be sure to give the slow-roasted belly of pork a try. This dish is served with crispy crackling, Hanepoot glazed apples and aromatic. Another mouthwatering main is the char-grilled beef fillet, moist and tender, with a blue cheese potato cake, caramelised baby onions and rosemary. A variety of veal and fish dishes are also available.
A great wine list complements the menu and instead of choosing from a 'great wine list', you pick straight from the wine rack.

Frankly, we need to see some major improvement at the QB position for us to take it up a notch in the W/L column.
We are still close to the bottom in talent in our conference and will play another very difficult schedule. Tulsa will not be much easier to beat than UConn, IMO. We play Iowa in IC. The B12 should be very good again, and TCU/WVU aren't a step down from A&M/Mizzou IMO.
Our D is good enough to give us a chance to win, but we need more offensive production and in order to get that, we need more accurate passing. Maybe Barnett will be much improved with a real season under his belt.
Our WR's and RB's are solid, but not great enough to overcome a poor passer.
6-6.... I'll take that right now.
do you expect ISU to be better than 6-6. gimme a break

Me too. People need to keep in mind that 6-6 is NOT a bad season for us. With what we currently have and what we have to play against... it's pretty damn good.
I would like us to be better, but I trust, with Rhoads, that will come in time. He's shown me no reason why it can't. Our players didn't preform today. It wasn't all on the coaches.
I bowl games are good things!
Im cool with 6-6...
Originally Posted by atlantacyclone

Next year and the year after and the year after. A bowl year is a good year at Iowa State. Always and forever.
I'd been hoping for next year to be our "breakout" year...but after the pathetic performance today, I'll just be hoping to get back to a bowl. Fair or not, this game was a huge blow to my excitement for next season.
We desperately need to find a consistent, halfway decent QB.
Same thing can be said for anyone. Need a good qb to be a really good team. There aren't any real good teams out there without good QB play ex Alabama and LSU, and that is a different level of defense right now.
We need to find another Seneca, or our version of RGIII. Who knows, maybe that guy is Barnett, maybe Richardson, maybe the other kid coming in...time will tell.
we r going to need one helluva lot of improvement when tcu and west virginia is added to our league. they replace a and m and mizzou and i think they will be tougher to beat than the aggies and the west virginia bunch..
QB isn't the only position we need help on. The offense as a whole is still lacking playmaking ability. The RBs are good enough, but outside of that, I think we need to improve at every position to field a competitive offense.
Massive improvements on offense, or we don't have a prayer.
6-6 is fine with me as well. Regular post season births are the start to something bigger.
If you offered me 6-6 right now for next year, I'd take it.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
Prepare to hear a lot of 2-10 predictions from the media. This will not be a fun off-season.

What's new? They could put a bronze newspaper clipping with that prediction in the lockeroom and just have it so you can change the year.

The sound of papers shredding could be heard at the Bonita Walmart as locals properly disposed of old documents. Organizers of the Community Shred Day say they are trying to help keep identity theft down and to make area residents aware of the dangers that lurk.
"It's the first step towards fighting identity theft and avoiding identity theft," investigator Jack Rodenbaugh says. "People need to be aware that their personal information can be used by other people for identity theft. By shredding documents to contain that information, that's the best step you can take to not become a victim."
The event wasn't just targeted towards residents in Meridian and East Mississippi. People even made the drive from West Alabama. Experts say most people don't even realize the problems that can occur by dropping personal documents in the trash can.
"You don't think about material paper and your confidential information and then you throw it in the trash and think it's just going to end there," according to Carlos Bodan with Shred It. "It's very important because theres a lot of risks with the paper you generate or that you receive."
Organizers say it's really a simple process to properly dispose of important papers and it only takes a few short minutes of your time. For more information, call Shred It at 251-343-9212.

|Extension Corner
|Written by Kindra Plumb
This I believe
Sometimes it really pays off to clean out old files in an office. While doing some office cleaning in the Phillips County office, the office secretary stumbled across an old document.
The pages are slightly yellowed, there appear to be stains of some kind on the front page, and a few pages are curled or torn, but the message in this particular document couldn't be more accurate.
The author of the document is unknown. He or she wrote about the continuing youth development which happens in 4-H and wrote this paper, titled, "This I Believe." The following is a summary of the paper and really hits the mark in terms of 4-H and positive youth development.
"The 4-H boys and girls are more important than the 4-H project." 4-Hers enroll in 4-H to learn life skills through the projects they take in 4-H. Youth development also occurs through club meeting participation, fundraising, community pride activities, public speaking opportunities and leadership conferences, just to name a few. The development of the youth into a productive citizen is the goal of 4-H, not the development of the project itself.
"4-H is not trying to replace the home, the church and the school—only supplement." To be a truly well-rounded individual, youth need to have support and direction from various individuals, groups and other organizations.
To be a truly successful 4-H member will require the support and guidance from parents/guardians, grandparents and other caregivers or family members. 4-H can work hand in hand with the knowledge children are learning every day by providing them an opportunity for hands-on application of that knowledge.
"4-Hers should be their own best exhibit." 4-H members may get so wrapped up in their project and displaying or showing that project that they forget their own appearance or manners. 4-H works to instill values such as good sportsmanship, gratitude and showing kindness to others.
"No 4-H award is worth sacrificing the reputation of a 4-H member or leader." While everyone enjoys winning, there usually is only one "winner" in regards to projects displayed at county fair. However, as long as the 4-H member worked hard and learned life lessons by completing the project and participating in 4-H, each member is a winner because of the knowledge and skill gained.
Upholding the high morals and values of the 4-H program will teach young members what the true reward of participating in 4-H really is.
"Competition is a natural human trait and should be recognized as such in 4-H. It should be given no more emphasis than other fundamentals in 4-H." Competition is everywhere we turn in our American culture. While competition can be a good thing, it also may end up driving youngsters away from the 4-H program.
To truly accomplish the goals of the 4-H program, the "competition" should be within the 4-H member. Can he or she do something better as the result of 4-H participation? If the answer is yes, then the 4-H goals have been achieved.
"Learning how to do the project is more important than the project itself." 4-H strives to teach young members the skills they will need to be a successful adult. The projects 4-H members enroll in are simply avenues to teach these skills.
"Many things are caught rather than taught." We all know children are natural mimics of what they see or hear. 4-H leaders are the models for their 4-H club members. Their enthusiasm for projects or club activities is shared by members and other parents.
Some of the most heart-warming 4-H stories are based upon this principle—the leader set the example and the 4-H member copied it.
"A blue ribbon child with a red ribbon pig is more desirable than a red ribbon child and blue ribbon pig." This is really what 4-H is all about; the development of each youth. The project is simply the vehicle used to teach life lessons and skills. 4-H members develop through the opportunities to make decisions on their own. Sometimes, they may make wrong decisions; however, youngsters will learn from their choices without harsh consequences.
"To 'learn by doing' is a fundamental in any sound educational program and characteristic of the 4-H program." How many of us learn and retain knowledge better when we're able to experiment "hands-on?"
Learning by doing gives 4-H members direct experience with something new. Because members experienced something, chances are the youngster is more likely to remember it longer and more accurately. 4-H offers many opportunities to "learn by doing."
"Every member needs to be noticed, to be important, to achieve and to be praised." 4-H believes in giving members significant recognition such as praise, attention and compliments to let the member know that what he or she has done is worthwhile.
If you have any questions about 4-H, or would like to volunteer for the Phillips County 4-H program, please contact the Phillips County Extension Office at 970-854-3616. Extension programs are available to all without discrimination.

They came so close, and that actually made this loss easier to take. In the first half it looked like the Niners were going to look like one of those AFC teams in the 1980s and lose 48-17 or something. At least they made it respectable. Now that we've gotten the whole "perspective" thing out of the way, let's start ripping. There's a long list.
LaMichael James: Don't fumble. It's pretty simple. Yeah, an extra yard or two sounds cool. But you aren't playing Arizona State.
The secondary: Simply terrible tonight. Chris Culliver got screwed on the play before the ridiculous Jacoby Jones TD that ended the first half, when Torrey Smith should have been called for offensive pass interference. But that aforementioned ridiculous Jones TD was an embarrassment that Ed Donatell and Vic Fangio will probably never recover from. Also, there's no way the Ravens should've been able to convert on 9-of-16 third downs. And Carlos Rogers gave a valiant effort, but Anquan Boldin killed the 49ers. AGAIN.
Randy Moss: Maybe there was no way he could've caught the pass that was intercepted by Ed Reed. But would it kill him to put his hand in the air, just to let the spectators gauge how uncatchable that pass was? It's time for the 49ers to find some young receivers who aren't afraid of contact that deserve to play alongside Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis, two guys who sold themselves out to win this game.
Brad Seely (49ers Special Teams Coach): It sure seemed like David Akers was TRYING to kick it as deep as he could, regardless of where Jones was. Um, how about kicking AWAY from the best kick returner in the world? Would teams kick it to Devin Hester five years ago? No. And how about telling LaMichael James to sit on it when he catches a kickoff eight yards deep? He isn't Jacoby Jones!
#QuestForSix: Such a terrible hashtag. If you're into hashtags, you probably believe in things like superstitions and not counting your chickens and all that. Dropping #QuestForSix every day almost makes it seem like we should've expected the 49ers to crush whoever the AFC put out there. While I still believe San Francisco had more talent on that field than Baltimore, that doesn't always guarantee victory (thank you, Capt. Obvious).
Jim Harbaugh: When a head coach's team starts out every playoff game terribly, that's on him. And because I'm pretty sure he has the ultimate veto power over Greg Roman when it comes to offensive playcalling, I'm blaming this Harbaugh bro for ignoring Frank Gore after Gore brought them to the freaking 7-yard-line. Even if Colin Kaepernick threw a touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree (the idea they seemed to be stuck on), the Ravens would've had plenty of time and timeouts to come back and win on a field goal anyway. It's not like the defense was super awesome.
The White Stripes: I can never listen to "Seven Nation Army" again. So many mouth-breathing Baltimore Ravens fans ruined that song all week by chanting "OH, OH OH OH OH OHHHH OH" every single day. Get a guitarist, assholes.
I can't blame the Superdome, because that actually helped the 49ers. Lights out? Okay, things are getting weird, let's do this. The 49ers almost won. Almost, almost, almost. But after the playcalling got weird late, I realized that I made one of the worst purchases in my life, with all due respect to Beyonce. The 49ers may recover from this loss, but history says Super Bowl losers often take a step back. Jim Harbaugh just lost to his brother, and now he faces his greatest test.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Southeastern Conference has agreed to make Nashville the primary home of its men's basketball tournament through 2026.
Commissioner Mike Slive announced Tuesday a deal with the Nashville Sports Council to hold a total of nine men's tournaments in Music City. The deal also includes dates for three women's tournaments.
Slive says Nashville is a proven host giving both SEC teams and fans a wonderful experience and the SEC looks forward to a long relationship.
Bridgestone Arena, home of the NHL's Nashville Predators already has hosted the men's tournament in 2001, 2006, 2010 and 2013, along with five women's tournaments. The SEC had already committed to bringing the men's tournament back in 2015, 2016 and 2019.

I only skimmed through it very quickly, but it looks like you did a good job.
I'll have to give it a whirl sometime.
I had some unexpected time off today, so I worked on my first tutorial.
It covers all the basics I used to produce this map, except for endless noodling over details, of course.
I'll admit I'm not very good at writing, but I hope it's comprehensible.
I tried to make it easy to get into, but I don't know if that worked.
Also, it is probably full of typos.
In any case, I'm glad I was able to get this out before my vacation, so I hope it's helpful to someone out there.

Tear, I'm extremely impressed by your maps. Hopefully this will help give me some direction. Thank you very much!
Like SG I've only skimmed through the PDF file but it looks really well done. Very professional looking like everything you do.
Looking forward to giving your style a whirl soon.

I did a bit more than skim, but haven't tried it yet. I think I will, this is very thorough and clear. I really do like the way you do the ocean layer, I may incorporate that into the style i'm already using
(i tried to rep! really!)

I got lost on page three. D: We go from working on the paint layer to deleting the Threshold layer and selecting Alpha one? How did we get there? I'm pretty confused. Sorry if this sounds stupid, but the instructions are pretty hard to follow right around that point, starting out at least.
Edit: Disregard. I'm dumb as hell and running on no sleep. xD

Looking forward to figuring out how to get this one working in GIMP; great tutorial!
Wow. That's at least the nicest-looking tutorial I have ever seen. Given your amazing results with Saderan I will certainly be giving this a try when I get some spare time. Repped if possible [edit]Yeah, guess not. I'll be back![/edit].
So i tested it out.
Not too bad, the only parts I found tedious was setting up the layer styles but that's no reflection on you - i always find that to be my least favourite part
I did follow all the steps exactly, the only thing I deviated on was leaving the snow layer off the final product as it seemed to wash out the forest/ground layers a bit much for my liking. I used a few different workflow paths here and there - instead of always using the menu commands once I saw what it was that was being done I might use shortcut keys for example, and i did use my tablet so i skipped the steps for the pen tool to make the rivers - but that's something I became adept at before I got my tablet, so no guilt there but I did learn a few new masking tricks i hadn't used before, so yay!
All in all this was quite fun to play with, and the final product is very nice.
I especially liked the use of the adjustment layers at the end.

Thanks a ton TEAR!
I noticed that you added in the color numbers that you use (which was very kind of you for the color-handicapped like myself).
I am extremely excited to start working through this tutorial using GIMP.
Hopefully there won't be too many hiccups.
Maybe by the time you get back I'll have some rough work done on my map.
Thanks again,

after upgrading to 6.0.5, we are getting a few reports that people with shared calendars are getting reminders for the shared calendars of other people.
So user A has shared calendars with user B. User B makes an appointment with user C in their own calendar, but user A gets a reminder about the appointment when the time comes.
user A is only a viewer of the calendar for user B in this instance actually.
Anyone else get the same problem? I will lodge a bug and or support request about it, but I just wanted to check to see if it might have been something someone was doing wrong.

Supreme Court Upholds Health Care Act
(Le Mars) -- By a decison of 5 to 4, the U-S Supreme Court upheld the provisions of the controversial Affordable Health Care Act, sometimes nicknamed Obamacare. But what does it mean for a rural community hospital like Floyd Valley? Mike Donlin serves as the Floyd Valley Hospital administrator and he says despite the fact the health care law is split nearly fifty-fifty on those who favor and those who oppose the law, there are a number of provisions that benefit rural hospitals.
Listen here
Donlin says he will closely monitor the buracracies and the actions of the governing agencies to see how much "watering down" of the bill may occur, or if they keep the provisions strong between now and when the health care act begins in 2014. Some people have argued that doctors and other health care officials may be more selective in the patients that they see due to some of the perceived restrictive rules of the Affordable Health Care Act. Donlin doesn't believe that will happen, at least not in Le Mars and at Floyd Valley Hospital.

Binding arbitration leads to higher taxes
(Page 2 of 2)
This is an absolute sham. Many taxpayers are wondering how this could happen. You may recall that Nassau County's finances are currently under the control of the Nassau Interim Finance Authority. NIFA serves as a financial control board, and it has imposed a freeze on all county wages, thus eliminating annual pay increases.
The county investigators' $3 million in retroactive pay dates back to Jan. 1, 2011, which is three months before NIFA took control of all country finances; thus NIFA has no jurisdiction on the matter.
We are in an economic crisis. How much longer is Nassau County going to be subject to decisions made by public arbitrators, such as Scheinman, who is obviously in the pocket of the unions?
Richard Zuckerman, Nassau's representative on the arbitration panel, wrote that giving the investigators this type of raise "is inconceivable to me . . . while the county remains under NIFA's jurisdiction and in the middle of a severe financial crisis that makes the county's ability to pay for this award at best doubtful."
Scheinman has a long history of controversial decisions. He has repeatedly given Long Island police unions generous awards, making them among the nation's highest-paid officers. Meanwhile, our taxes continue to rise astronomically, and people are being forced to move out of Nassau County.
Nassau politicians have complained about Scheinman's reach in the past, but to no avail. He continues to handle Nassau's gluttonous police contracts. The current system is taking decisions that should be made by trusted elected officials whom the people elect and putting them in the hands of special-interest captives such as Scheinman.
Suffolk Country was wise enough to enact the so-called "Scheinman Law" in 1998, which bans the county from using arbitrators who have worked in Nassau during the previous three years.
New York's lawmakers must overhaul binding arbitration laws and put some power into the hands of local officials whose constituents are footing the tax bill. In the meantime, it is long past time for Nassau County to adopt the same policy as Suffolk County and bar Scheinman from participating in any arbitrations.

Brentsville Timeline
Like many Virginian towns, Brentsville suffered heavily at the hands of both armies. Confederate General Eppa Hunton, a Brentsville resident and lawyer, had his house and other buildings destroyed. The Hampton Legion, among other units, was posted here on scouting missions. Several homes and churches served as hospitals. The county clerk's office was torn down and its bricks used for camp chimneys. Part of the ca. 1822 courthouse roof was torn off and many county records were either destroyed or taken by soldiers as souvenirs. Capt. Andrew McHenry of the 13th Pennsylvania Infantry wrote of Brentsville in 1864 "the houses generally are in ruin."
The Battle of Bristoe Station fought three miles west on Oct. 14 1863 brought combat to Brentsville's doorstep. During the battle, Federal General John Buford's cavalry was posted here to protect the Federal supply train. Confederate partisan units operate in Brentsville until the end of the war.

I love science... espcially when it leads to to consuming more beer! According to a new study, marinating your meat in beer before you throw it on the barbecue grill makes it safer to eat.
Health officials have been warning us for a while about the chemicals that get created – and consumed – when we torch meat on high-temperature grills.
Some scientists have gone as far as to compare these chemicals to those in cigarettes and car exhaust fumes.
Well, dunking your meat in beer for four hours before throwing it on the grill ends up reducing the amount of these chemicals in a big way and preventing them from forming while cooking.

Acoustic-Structure Interaction
Application ID: 417
Liquid or gas acoustics coupled to structural objects such as membranes, plates or solids are important applications in many engineering fields.
This model is a general demonstration of an acoustic fluid phenomenon in 3D that is coupled to a solid object. The walls of the solid object are impacted by the acoustic pressure. The frequency response from the solid is calculated, which is then fed back to the acoustics domain so that the wave pattern can be analyzed. As such, the model becomes a good example of a scattering problem.

Art enthusiasts are invited to an original show by Beeville's Emily Hartley Saturday at the Wicker Basket from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Hartley, who ran her own mural business in Oklahoma City, will be exhibiting her canvas paintings for the first time.
"I never knew if my work was fine enough for canvas, but I've had good response," said Hartley.
The artist has had no professional training. She began painting murals by creating one for a wall in her son's bedroom.
When visitors saw the mural, they asked her to do one for them. Before long, it was a full-blown business. Hartley has painted murals in homes, day cares and churches.
Since returning to Beeville, the artist has been painting on canvas as a hobby.
Saturday's show will feature originals on canvas as well as prints for sale. Hartley also will bring her portfolio of mural work for interested patrons.

Good to see you posting again. I always like your work very much.
Hi guys, long time no see.
EDIT: The forum for some reason make the images in my posts smaller, so right-click and view if you want to read the text.
This time my project is a world for a game project I'm working on. Some of you may have played King of Dragon's Pass, set in Glorantha (actually, come to think of it I'm pretty sure someone here must be a big enough Runequest fan to have actually bought the game - hiiii, I'm not a roleplayer, I just like KoDP). It's a classic cow economy simulator from 1999, and everyone should play it at once. I'm trying to figure out how to make a clone using Ren'py, a python-based SDK for the writing of visual novel type games. The setting itself will be Finnic in flavour (in contrast with the Celtic flavour of Glorantha Orlanthi), and I'm working on making a world for it.
It is pretty awesome. Anyhow, the creation myth, based on Finnic mythology; not just the Kalevala, but also bits that Lönnrot changed or edited out, and of course I've changed things around a lot. I'm quoting an old post of mine on another forum:
I've since deviced a simple Finnish-based codelang (some sound-changes that turns Finnish text into something that doesn't look Finnish: Väinämöinen to Wainmaine, Väinätär to Waindal, Maailma to Māinm, etc. Some other things I've since thought of: tides work because the weight of the moon tips the world to one side, and the oceans rush downwards. If you have a big lake, you can actually measure a tiny "tide" on one side of the lake, and an ebb on the other. It's science. Other things is that ocean currents are created by the maelstrom at the center of the world (through which the World Pillar rises), which sucks in water from the oceans, sends it to the Underworld, where the oceans fall "down" the upside-down world into the ocean on *that* side, where it ends up back into the corporeal ocean. some currents are caused by the Sky Dome's movement through the water, etc.In the beginning, there was the Sea before the World, and the Sky before the world, and the Demiurge was riding a blue elk upon the water (if you know Finnic mythology, you'll probably see where this is going). But an enemy of His shot Him down from the elk, and He fell into the water, wounded.
He lay in the water for nine hundred and twenty seven years, until He saw a bird of the sky flying and seeking a nest. He raised His knee from the water, and the bird lay its nest on it. But the eggs were too hot, and the Demiurge moved his leg, and they fell into the water, and the pieces of the eggs became various bits of creation. (Maybe I'll have a bird of the water, who dredges up stuff from the bottom of the Sea, too…)
The Demiurge formed the Earth from the stuff that was in the eggs, and rose onto land to continue working, and there he met the Sky Smith. The Demiurge tasked the Sky Smith with making a Dome of the Sky for the new world, and the Sky Smith started on it immediately. He forged the World Pillar that lies at the center of the world, and put up the dark night sky on top of it.
The Trickster was fascinated by his work, and came to the Sky Smith to ask if he could help him with it, and the Sky Smith tasked the Trickster to put up stars in the sky. The Trickster started putting stars in the sky with great enthusiasm, though little skill, but then his interest started to vane, and he didn't put many stars on one side of the Dome of the Sky.
Because of this, the Dome was off balance, and started to wobble on the World Pillar, and the sky started to tip over; when the Trickster saw this, he became panicked and fearful, and he quickly asked help from the spirits of the Above, but no one could help him; then he asked help from the spirits of Below, but they could not help him either, for they did not know how. Then he heard a voice at the bottom of the barrel where the stars had been. It was the voice of a star that told him to take it and hang it in the sky in the place where the Trickster had lost its interest. The Trickster threw the star in that place, and the star grew in size until it became the greatest of all stars in the sky, and the Dome stopped tipping over, and disaster was averted.
When the Sky Smith came and saw what had happened, he was angered, because now he would have to create a haphazard imprompty mechanism to keep the Dome from topping over in the future. He took the Moon, that he had planned to put in the sky to light the nights when the Sun would not be there, and set it rotating around the sky so that the Dome would not wobble, and he took the rest of the stars in the barrel (six all in all), and put them likewise in motion upon the Dome, but in more complex patterns to compensate for the smallest wobble that the Moon could not fix. The Sky Smith also had to adjust the Sun's orbit in the sky so that it reached North in one part of the year and South in the second. Finally, he attached the Dome fast to the World Pillar with the Pinion Star that was second in brightness only to the moving stars and the Counterweight Star.
Then the Sky Smith kicked the Trickster in the arse.
And to this day, the Dome of the Sky is tipped to one side, even as it rotates around the Pinion Star, as the World Mill at the bottom of the Pillar turns; one side of the Dome is under the water level of the Cosmic Ocean, and one side is above it, and from this gap there comes light from the outside chaos that lits up the rim of the world, and creates the the months of day and night at the farthest Northern and Southern reaches.
The Ship of the Sun moves over the world from the East to the West each day, rising from the sea and descending into it (which creates clouds). From the ship, the Sun God casts out light that falls down to the Earth like rainfall, but it is easier to throw further in alignment with the keel, so the light doesn't reach as far at the sides. In the Northern Summer, the Ship travels above the North, and in the Northern Winter it is South. Coupled with the gap in the horizon, this means that the farthest north and south (the "poles") have a day(summer) and night(winter) months long. The sun rises and sets in 12 hours, but the light of the gap remains. Conversely, in the winter, the sun is so far away that the falling light doesn't reach, and it resembles a bright, moving star.
In the East, the Sun rises, so the mornings are always warmer than the evenings. In the Eastern summer, in the farthest east (the "East pole"), there is no night, and the mornings are hot and the evenings are warm. In the West (at the West Pole), the sun sets, so the converse is true: it is the evening that is hot, and the morning that is cool. Likewise, in the summer, there is no night; and, as with the East Pole, the "Winter" is cooler, but the day/night cycle is 12 hours/12 hours. At the East and West Pole, in the Autumn the time of no-sun (12 hours) will get darker and darker, until there is true deep night for a few months in the winter. In the spring, the dark of the night will start to become lighter, until you can't tell the difference between day and night.
In the center of the world the day is always twelve and twelve hours, and there isn't much of a change in seasons; it gets a bit hotter twice a year, when the East and West are in their Summer/Winter period, and the Sun moves to its absolute zenith on top of the center.
If you move north or south from the center, you get seasons a bit more familiar to our own experiences: between the center and the North and South poles, there is a seasonal difference due to the distance of the Sun combined with a lesser effect from the gap in the horizon, which lengthens the day a bit due to some magic I still haven't fudged into here. Let's say the combined effect of sun and chaos light is tremendously effective, and that as the Sun moves closer to the horizon when it rises from the depths of the Cosmic Ocean, the light from the gap also becomes stronger, which lengthens the day marginally in areas that aren't that close to the Rim… Something like that.
EDIT: Or maybe it takes longer for the sunlight to evaporate, because there's more of it than usual… Yes, this makes the best sense. :EDIT
Note that Sunlight and the light that comes from the outerworld is different from our light. It's much heavier, for one, and will have a kindasorta ballistic trajectory. Can't help it, really, and it's all in good fun so no harm done.
Yes, I have mixed up the compass points. I noticed that I have them in the wrong order in my charts (I mean, obviously the sun rises on the LEFT, right, and north is UP, right? So obviously East is left and north is up…), and, eh, I can't be arsed to change it. Take it as another sign of otherworldliness.
Naturally, the Moon rotates around the dome of the sky; which means only the dome of the sky, and not beneath the Earth, etc. so unlike our very own Newtonian companion. I'll have to come up with a good myth for its phases, etc. The planets are likewise attached to the dome; maybe their "orbits" will be completely unpredictable?
This is just fantasy. It only has to make Common Sense, which is completely different from Actually Making Real Sense. Verissimilitude is the key here, not whether it makes sense in our physical framework, etc. Gravity, for example, will be completely unexplained: I do not know a single ancient myth that attempts to explain its origin. It's one of those "so obvious in hindsight why haven't I even thought about why it exists" things that only philosophers at level 12 and above can even think about.
further disclaimer the thing represented here is the physical truth: this is not really a globular Earth with a mythical explanation for seasons, no, this is a project for making a flatworld that makes at least some sense while resembling Earth as much as possible with only superficial differences (like, who cares about the orbits of sky objects? and some sort of seasons and stuff to create interesting geography should be enough, etc..)
And apropos some images:
The rough shape of the world, ideas for ocean currents (red arrows show warm water going towards cold areas, cold arrows show cold water going towards warm areas, you know the drill), and without an insanely expensive fluid dynamics simulation this is the best we'll get. Haven't figured out winds yet. Apropos to that, navigation on this world is a lot easier: the sky rotates only once a year (not once a day, like ours), so taking bearing and all that stuff is easy. Depending on the time of the year, you can just look up and check out what star is right above you, and voila, you have some kind of coordinates, and even if you don't know what specific time of the year it is, you can at least tell how far you are from the center of the world.
The "tectonics" of the world are basically just ad hoc, but inspired by the idea that the world was shaped like it was on a potter wheel. mountain-ranges and islands that "circle" the center, if you see what I mean.
Because the Moon is an actual object up in the sky, and not a small planetoid orbiting another, larger one, with a huge firey ball of incandescent gas lighting both, it actually has a "shadow" smaller than itself: thus, you get a moon that is *really* pointy, and whose new moon is basically a circle. need to come up with a good mythical explanation for that.
Some mountain ranges are formed by the corpses of dead giants or gods. The game is taking place one one: most specifically, a valley that is formed by the gap between two fingers. I'm hoping to incorporate underground caverns and other stuff like that, but it's still long off.

My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
Thanks, Ascension. Let's see how this goes.
A preliminary look at mountain ranges (the black sprinkles) and pseudo-climes. I have no idea what to do with the winds. Maybe I'll just put down four mountains, each with its own wind god... The West Wind would sit smack dab in the middle of that desert, and blow everything away because he's cross with the Sun for eating all his cookies or something idno.
Here's also a size-comparison:
The land mass of Māinm is roughly the same size as Eurasia and Africa combined (85-90 million square kilometers). The map of Eurafrasia above is in Azimuthal equal area, so that you get a rough idea of areas. The flat world map is of course just.... Flat, because it doesn't need a projection (and is naturally equal area, too).
The diameter of the world (= Sky Dome, in this context) is eh, 18000 kilometers. Around 36 percent of the area is land, rest is corporeal ocean. Just by total coincidence, if the area of one Earth hemisphere was turned into a circle, that circle would have a diameter of 18000 kilometers.

Sorry about the double post, here's a small update.
South is up, east is left, north is down, west is right.
Here's a bit more elaboration on the climates (and some fixing of the geography that didn't look exactly right for aesthetic reasons). Because Māinm is a stationary flatworld (i.e. it doesn't rotate; the Sky Dome does rotate, but only once a year), there are no coriolis forces. The Sun warms the interior "equator", the central line from the East pole to the West Pole more than the north and south, so winds tend to move towards the equator, or maybe rather a center defined by the Sun's position in the sky and some lag. For simplicity I assume that there's a low pressure band on the equator, which might shift a bit, but is fairly long.
The Sun's orbit moves during the year, like mentioned: it shifts towards the north, then center, then south, then center again, depending on the tilting of the sky dome (which raises the edge so much that primordial light gets in from the Outside and causes lit summer evenings and nights sans the presence of the Sun). The world is fairly wet, and dryness is caused by south-west mountain ranges that cast a rain-shadow towards the center.
The big exception, for which I tried to come up with a good rationalisation, is the obligatory Huge Desert. On Māinm it lies on the East coast, where it faces the Sun as it rises. Why is it desert, while the western islands are fairly wet? Here comes to the excuse: it's because the ocean around where the Sun rises is really, really hot, and forms a constant low pressure area with which the east coast desert areas can't compete with: the winds in this area are characterised as seaward winds, and the northerly and southerly winds that would otherwise bring in rain are exhausted by the two conveniently placed mountain ranges. There are occasionally westerlies bringing rain, but usually they fall on the hills and the dry plains on the way. I should add more mountains there, though, I guess.
Why is the Ocean there really hot? Well, that's a result of the bizarre origin of Māinm ocean currents caused by Maelstrom at the center of the world (not the winds, though because they're usually centerwards, they help in the west while maybe hindering a bit in the east) . Like in my earlier posts, water is pulled towards the center, but there is no obvious route from the East coast towards the center, so the currents have to circle around the continent, which is why the east is generally hotter than the west, which is in turn cooled by the cold currents coming from the south and north.
I got a bit lucky here in that with a bit of handwaving and tactical rationalisation my original ad-hoc plans seem to have gelled together quite well.

someone else post in this thread, i'm embarrassing myself with these self-bumps
Anyhow, here's a small digression to typography, writing and stuff. For the meta-setting of this game/world, I've been devising small flavour points: one of them is the typography associated with them. Typographical variation is a cheap way to create exoticism or otherness, or just give something a particular vibe: like, say, if you made a Britannic style story or game, you might use Uncial or Insular (for Celtic) or Old English typographic styles, with yoghs and dots. For this stuff, I decided to create a small variant of Latin, with which I intend to write names in the codelang deviced for this, and other language snippets other than Meta-English. As a base for the design I raster-edited on glyph samples from a Open Font License font named Sorts Mill Goudy by Barry Schwartz:
The plan is to take the modifications here, turn it into a separate font to use in the game (alongside standard SM Goudy, though the game SDK I'm using also handles bitmap fonts, which would be simpler), and license it with credits and all that stuff in the Open Font License.
For those who don't know, /ŋ/ means the velar nasal sound you get at the end of "sing". The n-with-a-hook is a letter for that sound (in IPA, and in the above Latin variant because ŋ is a bitch to invent a new letter for, as you can see). The letter that looks like n-with-a-j and a dot is just an abbreviation/ligature standing for "ja", 'and' in the codelang of the game (which is, as said, based on modern Finnish (ok, I lie, Old Finnish - I presume that most sound-changes that cause irregularity in modern Finnish do not take place) with a set of sound-changes that turns modern Finnish into something that doesn't resemble modern Finnish, because this is a really simple way to create a flavour-language without actually doing any proper conlanging (and which anyone with basic knowledge of Finnic diachronical linguistics and etymology can easily use). I've also played with the thought of doing an English-based codelang. We'll see how that goes. Maybe I'll do something with reversed-English, plus some sound-changes to fudge things.
Anyhow, today I decided to play around with my ink-pen in lieu of anything productive (I'm suffering from a slight cold), and decided to design a miniscule style to write this in.
Apologies for the unfocused shot, I can't seem to get any decent pictures with my old camera.
Still a work on progress, though I'm fairly happy with the look. It's old-fashioned looking, but not in any particular sense of old-fashioned: a mixture of different styles, some original strokes, and all in all it looks quite suitable for use on a fantasy map. I might try to digitise this to use on my map.
Lastly, a small update with further elaboration on climes and ocean currents.
Haven't been commenting but I've been following the progress on this and it's coming along nicely!!
I know that lonely feeling all too well, lol. Please keep up the good work, I'm very intrigued by the development here and enjoying watching it take shape. I love projects like this.
WOW thats a LOT of information. Great job pulling that all together and I'm eagerly watching this thread

Thanks, blokes and blokettes! Yeah, I'm pretty happy about how this is coming together. Don't be afraid to offer suggestion, criticism or ask questions about stuff! Also, if there's anyone who's an expert in flat world fluid dynamics, please. PLEASE.
Sorry about not posting any feedback. You have a ton of information here that I, at least up to this point, have never really bothered to work out for anything I have done. There are a few around here who get into all the water flows and air currents. I seem to want to just get into the imagery. Maybe one day this will get into my blood. I think it's impressive when people get into this much explanation for why their world is the way it is. So, hats off to ya, keep up the great work.
I understand how it can kind of get to you when you post and there is nothing but silence out there. You begin to wonder if it just sucks so much that nobody cares to reply. At least that's what I always start to think when the silence stretches on. In this case, it doesn't suck, I just don't feel qualified to add anything.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

You could include the planet information by adding columns between the graphs and putting the info at the "height" of the planet's orbit.
I used this to generate the system (though not the moons, I had to improvise those) and then I mapped it out in Illustrator.
Originally I was going to display some information about each planet beneath it's name, but I ran out of space pretty quickly when I tried that. My current plan is to move it into the text box once I get around to writing that out - any suggestions on that are welcome, though.
(also wow i really need to finish up some of my other mapping projects)
You could include the planet information by adding columns between the graphs and putting the info at the "height" of the planet's orbit.
After a bit of nudging things around, here's where I am now.
Quite incomplete, obviously, but I think this method has promise. Next will be doing the next two columns, and fixing all the bits that I broke while I was mucking around with it. None of the colors are final, I just thought I'd see how it looked with darker columns. Anyway, I should probably get to bed before the sun comes up.
Time for an update!
Aside from the visual changes, I changed the scale to be more accommodating to planets orbiting past 1 AU and increased the last one to 30 AU. The names and planets are different because I was working on it on my laptop when I went to redo the orbits and discovered that I had forgotten to bring the file containing the info for Sokhin's planets. I decided to use another system for the time being, since once I have the look down creating the actual system is quite fast.
Wow, I love the look; very striking!
Are the orbits on any sort of measurable scale, or just approximated? If the latter, how did you decide how far apart to make each one?
Also, I think the void of empty space beyond the outermost planet in the third panel is actually a very effective way of denoting just how far out and alone the outermost planets are. There's some pretty effective subtext in the simple act of leaving so much space empty, I think. Repped!
My current worldbuilding experiment(s):
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
-W.B. Yeats
It looks great, but I wonder about the gas giant in between the two habitable planets. I assume the star is similar to our own, in which case I don't think you could fit three planets in the habitable zone - gas giants tend to be pretty disruptive to nearby neighbors.

A Big Time Audition turned into a Big Time Rush for best friends Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Pena, Jr. and Logan Henderson and now they're taking their act on the road. As actors and house band for the Nickelodeon television series Big Time Rush, the four members get their big break when they're chosen to start a boy band of the same name in Los Angeles.
Beating out more than 1,500 young musicians for the role, Big Time Rush play their own instruments and have a signed multi-record deal and tour dates. Fans of the show are especially thrilled about the release of Big Time Rush concert tickets.
The band's first album, B.T.R., features the hits singles City Is Ours, Halfway There and Til I Forget About You. In 2011, two versions of their then unreleased track Boyfriend leaked on the internet with guest appearances by Snoop Dogg and New Boyz.

I downloaded Zimbra as it was by Yahoo and thought it would have emoticons in the email same as the basic yahoo email, but cant see any. I got HTML bar on and it shows buttons for changing fonts etc but theres no smiley face button?
How do I do emoticons?
I tried this as Apple mail doesnt have them and although Thunderbird does they only seem to show up in my email not the recipients.
Can anyone tell me how I can get them before i delete it off my hard drive and try a different one?

POINT OF ROCKS, Md. (AP/WUSA9) - Maryland State Police are identifying a man found dead at Point of Rocks State Park.
Police say 54-year-old Peter V. O'Connell of Frederick was found dead along the banks of the Potomac River on Sunday afternoon. A bicyclist called 911 after spotting his body in the water.
O'Connell's car was found in a parking lot about a half-mile away and police say investigators found a suicide note at his Frederick home.
His body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy which determined he died as a result of a suicide.

text: I have a domain expiring and have a large number of users with it setup as an alias. Zimbra won't let me remove the domain without removing each alias pointing to it first, is there a way to automate this process? I really don'twant to have to sort through all of my users to determine which ones have this set up as an alias... Is there any reason I can't search on the domain and get a list of emails/aliases for that particular domain? I'm working on a script for it now, but i'm not sure how well it will work out. If there's an easier/quicker way feel free to let me know.

The Queyras cultural heritage The Queyras cultural heritage is a rich and unique legacy. To visit its eight mountain villages is to soak up its charms: its history, its sun dials, Fort Queyras, its geological features like the 'Demoiselles Coiffées' and its religious heritage. There are many places to explore on foot such as the Pisse waterfall at Ceillac or the centuries old larch and Cembran pine forests. You will immediately appreciate the charms of all these venues.
Local arts, crafts and produce
Traditional crafts, carved furniture, gastronomy
Local arts, crafts and produce During the long Queyras winters, the men and women would spend a lot of time indoors perfecting their crafts. For the men this was usually in furniture craft, decorating the wood with the traditional carved rosettes and for the women, fine lace-work. The perfect representative of country life, the Queyras cheeses will delight your taste buds. But they are just a sample of the mouth watering traditional produce that comes from these 8 mountain villages. Honey, sweets,...

(5-4, 4-2 ACC) halt a three-game losing streak and take over sole possession
of the ACC's Coastal Division. Jake Wieclaw contributed three field goals to
the victory, while Morris finished with 170 yards on 13-of-28 passing and did
not commit a turnover.
Logan Thomas racked up a career-high 124 yards on the ground with a touchdown
and added 199 passing yards on 19-of-37 efficiency for Virginia Tech (4-5,
2-3), but was responsible for two red-zone giveaways that played a part in the
Hokies' second straight loss and fourth defeat in five outings. The junior
quarterback was intercepted on the game's first drive and later lost a fumble
on the Miami 1-yard line during the third quarter.
Virginia Tech also had a punt blocked that led to a Miami touchdown, while
kicker Jimmy Journell missed an extra point as well as a 47-yard field goal
attempt and Thomas threw another interception in the game's final stages.
