First off, the Skullworks looks great on the DNA and fit and finish looks sharp. The bow came in very close and I had to only take a 1/2 twist out of the cable for cams to be perfectly synched. Draw length came in at 29 1/8 + and at 61#. The draw cycle is a little stiff which I excpected with those speeds but not bad at all. Probably would compare it to the OD cams as far as stiffness up front.
I know there has been reports of a horrible hump at 29" but that is simply not true. It starts off very similar to the Invasion I had but smoother all the way back to the wall. The wall is very firm when cams are in synch and feels great. Now for the part that might get some people is the holding weight. This is a 60# bow peaking at 61# the way I have it set up.
The holding weight is right between 18 and 19# which over the last couple years I actually prefer. I went through a phase with the low holding weight bows but really find myself more accurate between 16 and 19# so this fits the bill for me personally. I know some have reported the valley is plenty and does not feel like a 70% let-off bow but I would have to disagree.
IMO it feels right where they state it is and a true 70% let-off. The let down is very easy and again the thing that impresses me the most is the draw cycle for those kind of speeds. There is a few odds and ends that I need to get together before I have it fully set up. It was late today to bring the chrono outside but in the basement with a light kit with a 380gr arrow it came in at 315 fps.
The shot itself is very quiet and extremely dead in the hand at those speeds. It feels like a bow with much lower IBO at the shot. Has a very good feel to it and is balanced very well even with the grip being lowered for the centerpull technology.
I need to verify those speeds in some better lighting but those where the first results and will follow up later with a continued review and pics.
I would say my first impression is quite impressive and a must bow to at least try out this year. Keep you posted with tuning and shootabilty hopefully within the next 7 to 10 days.

I looked at renting one and I ended up buying one from satphonestore.com. I have a 9505 and have had no problems. I bought their 1 year plan with 222 minutes. I use it more than I ever thought I would because I do not have a cell phone and there is no service.
Hope this helps. I will be using it to phone home when I get my bull in the Bob in a couple of weeks! Kevin

I was thinking of doing a FW dip of the rock and hold a big net under it, so when any HH come running out of the rock, they will fall in the net and I can lift them immediately out of the FW and put into the SW. Would that work? Or would they die too quickly?
That has been my only idea so far, but if anyone else has any ideas, I'd be really happy to hear them!
My only other thought was to take one rock that only has 2 visible aiptasia on it and nuke those and put that rock in as an "island" so if there are any small undetectable aiptasia on there, they can't move onto the rest of the rock. But then, I just don't want to risk transferring in any of the algae or aggressive macro that is in my current tank.

I just bought the Hollis 321 mouth piece and hose but i guess i need to by the regulator part and yoke too? Is that correct? Or is the regulator in the mouth piece?
Hello James, if you got this octo, it would come with the hose and mouth piece. Since this is the secondary part it would not come with the 1st stage part. You would need to order the http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-36/033189/Hollis-221-DC-3-Balanced-Regulator.html to get the 1st stage and primary regulator.

Monday Afternoon News, September 10
Newly Constructed Halfway Houses Sit Empty
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Iowa Corrections officials say five newly built or expanded halfway houses are sitting empty because there is no money for workers.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that a $6 million, 45-bed center in Waterloo was completed more than a year ago but remains empty due to no staff.
The halfway houses are intended ease the overflow of people waiting to serve sentences at other correctional sites.
Corrections officials thought there would be money available to staff the new center when it was completed in April 2011, but the state Corrections Department had a tight budget and opted against
funding the Waterloo center or others in correctional service districts in Davenport, Ames, Sioux City and Ottumwa.
On Friday, corrections officials will consider a proposal to fund the Waterloo center.
Christmas Trees Hurt By The Drought
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Christmas trees in Iowa and other Midwestern states could become the newest victims of this year's drought.
The hot and dry summer took a harsh toll on tree seedlings. When the newly planted trees are ready for harvest by 2019, the selection could be sickly and sagging. Growers have also reported
losses in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Boone County tree farmer Jesse Randall says the supply will tighten in upcoming years. But growers and foresters say this year's crop, planted in 2005, will be as diverse as usual.
Randall says the drought was especially hard on fir trees, which are popular among buyers because of their silvery evergreen hues and rich aromas.
Des Moines Coach Gets Support For Disciplining a Student
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Supporters are rallying behind a Des Moines high school football coach who was suspended after he allegedly punished a sophomore who posted a negative comment about
the team on Twitter.
Athletes and other community members filled the Lincoln Rails practice field Sunday to show support for head coach Tom Mihalovich.
Mihalovich is under investigation for allegedly making sophomore Daunte Campero run until he threw up, after Campero posted a negative tweet about the team.
The rally drew dozens of supporters, including players from the Lincoln football team. They claim the punishment wasn't severe, and Campero never got ill. Campero no longer plays on the team and now goes to a different school.
A high school representative did not return calls for comment.
Nursing Home Administrator On Probation
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - State regulators have placed an Ames nursing home administrator on probation for two years, after one resident in her facility's care went missing for hours and others
engaged in sexual activity.
The Iowa Board of Nursing Home Administrators announced Monday that it had settled its case against Cynthia Gentz. Gentz had overseen the Abington on Grand facility.
Regulators say one resident left the facility once in August 2010, and again in November 2010. The resident was treated for hypothermia and frostbite in November after spending hours in the
cold. Board members say neither incident was reported.
Board members say three other residents engaged in sexual activity with one another throughout 2010. Staff believed some of the contact was consensual, but the facility had no policies to address resident-on-resident sexual abuse.

Royals sign four selections from 2011 Draft
The Kansas City Royals announced today that the club has signed four selections from the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft. The Royals inked right-handed pitcher and fourth-rounder Kyle Smith, third baseman and fifth-rounder Patrick Leonard, right-handed pitcher and 29th-rounder Jake Junis and right-handed pitcher and 30th-pick Christian Binford.
Smith, 18, is a 6-foot, 180-pound pitcher from Santaluces High School in Lantana, Fla. Smith, who signed with the Royals in lieu of pitching for the University of Florida, was 9-1 with a 0.40 ERA and 116 strikeouts in 69.1 innings for the Santaluces Chiefs.
The 18-year-old Leonard is a right-handed hitting third baseman from St. Thomas High School in Houston, Texas. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder led his high school to the Texas state 5-A private school title in the spring and was headed to play baseball at the University of Georgia before signing with Kansas City.
Junis, 18, is a 6-foot-5, 210-pound right-handed pitcher from Rock Falls (Ill.) High School.

Driving Into the heart of the Meratus Mountain Range, some two and a half hours from Banjarmasin, capital of South Kalimantan Province, one will be welcomed by a lush landscape decorated with wonderful waterfalls, rushing rivers, and the enchanting culture of its indigenous people. That isolated piece of South Kalimantan's paradise is known as Loksado, a sub-district of the Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency where the well preserved indigenous Dayak culture meets the stunning natural landscape.
This particular part of Kalimantan is home to the indigenous Dayak Meratus tribes –a sub ethnic group of the Dayak in Kalimantan that occupy traditional houses called Balai. Today, there are at least 43 of these Balai that can be found in 9 villages across Loksado. Among these, the most notable are Balai Hambawang Masam, Balai Adat Malaris, Balai Kacang Parang, Balai Haratai, and more. A Balai is a traditional wooden long house with tens of rooms measuring 3 by 4 meters and are occupied by tens of families.
Although many of Dayak families have turned to more modern housing, these Balai are still used for religious rituals. Similar to most Dayaks, the Dayak Meratus follow an ancient religion called Kaharingan which simply translated means "life". This faith includes the concept of a Supreme Deity and emphasizes the harmony between mankind, between man and nature, and the harmony between man and God.
Living closely with nature, the Dayak Meratus practice the Aruh Ganal Rituals that revolve around agriculture. There are three parts in the Aruh Ganal Rituals, they are: Aruh Basambu, after completion of rice planting (locally known as behuma/menugal), which usually occurs in February ; Aruh Bawanang Lalaya, to celebrate the harvest (usually occurs around June); and Aruh Bawan Banih Halin to mark the close of the harvesting season (which usually occurs in September). These rituals can be observed in some of the villages, among which: the Haratai Village, Muara Ulang Village, Lahung Village, and more.
Equally fascinating as the exotic Dayak culture are the Meratus Mountains themselves that are filled with natural splendors. The lush landscape is decorated with fascinating waterfalls, among which are: the Haratai Waterfall, Riam Hanai Waterfall, Kilat Api Waterfall, Rampah Menjangan Waterfall, Pemandian Anggang Waterfall, and Tinggiran Hayam Waterfall.
There is also the Tanuhi Hot Spring where one can enjoy refreshing hot water. Its tropical forest moreover, holds other treasures where the exotic pitcher plant (Nepenthes distillatoria) and the endemic Meratus Orchid (Dendrobium hepaticum) grow.
The most exceptional feature of Loksado's natural treasures is the Amandit River that runs through some of the most fascinating sceneries of the area. The winding river of fresh clear water decorated with rocks and creeks and unique traditional bridges that look to the lush green hills of Meratus are surely a sight rarely found elsewhere. To top it all, you should enjoy the magnificent scenery and exceptional sensation from a bamboo raft on the river.
If you are looking for starred hotels or exclusive accommodation, you will never find these in Loksado. The best way to experience Loksado is by spending the night with the locals where you can be a part of the local way of life. Arrange with your tour operator to sleep in one of the villagers houses. However, if you prefer, there is one modest inn available in Loksadom which is:
Wisma LoksadoKecamatan Loksado, Hulu Sungai Selatan, Kalimantan SelatanContact: Taufik YusufMobile: +6285251544398
The highway is paved all the way from Banjarmasin to Kandangan, but from Kandangan capital of Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency) the road narrows considerably. There is no public transportation from Banjarmasin or elsewhere, except from Kandangan but even this is not frequent. If your starting point is Banjarmasin, your best bet to reach Loksado is by renting car with driver. The trip itself will take approximately 4-5 hours.

When one switches from HTML mode to AJAX mode, a splash screen, with artwork that looks exactly like Vignette Corporation's purple V's appears.
I'm sure it was completely unintentional, and I doubt Vignette would care, or even notice... but it could cause a little brand confusion to those who recognize it.
That's all.

Imagine you're trapped inside a free falling elevator. Would you decrease your impact impulse by jumping during the fall? When?
As an addition to already posted answers and while realising that experiments on Mythbusters don't really have the required rigour of physics experiments, the Mythbusters have tested this theory and concluded that:
While everyone agrees that jumping in a falling elevator doesn't help much, I think it is very instructive to do the calculation.
General Remarks
The general nature of the problem is the following: while jumping, the human injects muscle energy into the system. Of course, the human doesn't want to gain even more energy himself, instead he hopes to transfer most of it onto the elevator. Thanks to momentum conservation, his own velocity will be reduced.
I should clarify what is meant by momentum conservation. Denoting the momenta of the human and the elevator with $p_1=m_1 v_1$ and $p_2=m_2 v_2$ respectively, the equations of motion are
$$ \dot p_1 = -m_1 g + f_{12} $$ $$ \dot p_2 = -m_2 g + f_{21} $$
Here, $f_{21}$ is the force that the human exerts on the elevator. By Newton's third law, we have $f_{21} = -f_{12}$, so the total momentum $p=p_1+p_2$ obeys
$$ \frac{d}{dt} (p_1 + p_2) = -(m_1+m_2) g $$
Clearly, this is not a conserved quantity, but the point is that it only depends on the external gravity field, not on the interaction between human and elevator.
Change of Momentum
As a first approximation, we treat the jump as instantaneous. In other words, from one moment to the other, the momenta change by
$$ p_1 \to p_1 + \Delta p_1, \qquad p_2 \to p_2 + \Delta p_2 .$$
Thanks to momentum "conservation", we can write
$$ \Delta p := -\Delta p_1 = \Delta p_2 .$$
(Note that trying to find a force $f_{12}$ that models this instantaneous change will probably give you a headache.)
How much energy did this change of momentum inject into the system?
$$ \Delta E = \frac{(p_1-\Delta p)^2}{2m_1} + \frac{(p_2+\Delta p)^2}{2m_2} - \frac{p_1^2}{2m_1} - \frac{p_2^2}{2m_2} .$$ $$ = \Delta p(\frac{p_2}{m_2} - \frac{p_1}{m_1}) + (\Delta p)^2(\frac1{2m_1}+\frac1{2m_2}) .$$
Now we make use of the fact that before jumping, the velocity of the elevator and the human are equal, $p_1/m_1 = p_2/m_2$. Hence, only the quadratice term remains and we have
$$ (\Delta p)^2 = \frac2{\frac1{m_1}+\frac1{m_2}} \Delta E .$$
Note that the mass of the elevator is important, but since elevators are usually very heavy, $m_1 \ll m_2$, we can approximate this with
$$ (\Delta p)^2 = 2m_1 \Delta E .$$
Energy reduction
How much did we manage to reduce the kinetic energy of the human? After the jump, his/her kinetic energy is
$$ E' = \frac{(p_1-\Delta p)^2}{2m_1} = \frac{p_1^2}{2m_1} - 2\frac{\Delta p\cdot p_1}{2m_1} + \frac{(\Delta p)^2}{2m_1}.$$
Writing $E$ for the previous kinetic energy, we have
$$ E' = E - 2\sqrt{E \Delta E} + \Delta E = (\sqrt E - \sqrt{\Delta E})^2 $$
$$ \frac{E'}{E} = (1 - \sqrt{\Delta E / E})^2 .$$
It is very useful to estimate the energy $\Delta E$ generated by the human in terms of the maximum height that he can jump. For a human, that's roughly $h_1 = 1m$. Denoting the total height of the fall with $h$, we obtain
$$ \frac{E'}{E} = (1 - \sqrt{h_1/h})^2 .$$
Thus, if a human is athletic enough to jump $1m$ in normal circumstances, then he might hope to reduce the impact energy of a fall from $16m$ to a fraction of
$$ \frac{E'}{E} = (1 - \sqrt{1/16})^2 \approx 56 \% .$$
Not bad.
Then again, jumping while being weightless in a falling elevator is likely very difficult...
The reason that jumping can make a relatively large difference is that the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity. Thus relatively small changes to the velocity can result in relatively large changes to the kinetic energy. In addition, the velocity which a human can achieve in jumping is a substantial percentage of the velocity of fatal falls.
Let the human weigh $m$, let him jump with upward velocity $v$ and let the elevator fall from a height $H$. Then the human's initial potential energy will be $10mH$. What fraction of this potential energy can he avoid having turned into kinetic energy?
At any given point before jumping, the human's kinetic energy and potential energy add up to $10mH$. If he jumps at a height of $h$, his potential energy will be $mgh$ and his kinetic energy will be $mg(H-h) = 0.5mV^2$ where $V$ is the elevator (and human before jumping) velocity, taken as a positive number so that $V=\sqrt{2g(H-h)}$.
At the moment of jumping, he will not reduce potential energy, but instead will decrease his velocity. So his kinetic energy decreases from $0.5mV^2$ to $0.5m(V-v)^2$. Therefore his total energy will become:
We wish to make the third term as negative as possible. This occurs when h is small so we put $h=0$ (as our intuition suggests, indeed, the best time to jump is just as the elevator impacts). Then the remaining kinetic energy is: $$mgH +0.5mv^2 -mv\sqrt{2gH}.$$
An example of a height $H$ which is generally fatal for a human is $H=10m$. A maximum velocity for a very athletic human jump is on the order of $v=3.64$ m/s. Such a jump would give a maximum height of 0.66 meters. See: Vertical Jump Test calculator for data on human jumping capabilities by sex, age, and athletic ability. Using $g=10$ and $m=50$, the kinetic energy before and after jumping are: $$mgH = 5000J$$ $$mgH+0.5mv^2-mv\sqrt{2gH} = 2757J$$
Thus, in fact, jumping could reduce the kinetic energy suffered by a factor of two. The final collision with the floor would be reduced from a height of 10m = 32.8 feet, to a height of 5.5m = 18 feet.
From the question of simple reduction of velocity, the answer's already been given (yes, but not enough to make a significant difference) ... but there's one other issue at play here -- how the forces are transfered to the body.
If you're standing upright, it'd all be transfered through your legs; as Flaviu mentioned, laying down so the force is spread across a larger area would be a better option to this. But, if you could manage to jump at just the right time, and you knew how to take a fall (bend your knees, roll into it, etc.), it might be possible to spread the force over a greater time and distance, therefore reducing the impulse, and thus the actual damage to your body.
Unfortunately, I don't think the chances of timing it correctly would be very good, so it wouldn't be particularly advisable. You'd have to weigh the risk & benefit of this strategy vs. just lying down.
It's not about whether or not you can jump up fast enough to cancel out a 60mph impact. If you could jump up at 60 mph, you wouldn't need to because passively absorbing the impact (60mph deceleration) would be less stressful than actively accelerating upward to 60 mph (total impact cancellation), because you would be subjecting yourself to the same-if not greater-'g' forces. It seems more practical to jump up at 30 mph (partial impact cancellation) which can effectively cut down the 'g' forces by distributing the braking distance, sort of like the last second "braking" rockets of cosmonaut space craft that fire just before a parachute landing.
Impact severity is largely defined by the shortness of stopping distance. There's little-if any-substitution for distributing stopping distance in alleviation of impact. So, the question is more one of whether or not jumping up is ever the wisest option.
Suppose you're in an elevator that's headed for an uncushioned landing at twice the velocity you can jump up. You're coming down at 10 mph, and can jump up at 5mph. If your feet leave the floor at the precise moment you reach 5 mph, the deceleration would be a 2X5mph impacts, each with 1/4 the kinetic energy of an unmodified 10 mph impact, which equals half the impact. The main problem is, you reach your highest (and lowest) speed of 5 mph at the critical part of your upward jump where you're in the worst position to absorb the balance of the impact by rolling into it. You might be safer ONLY doing that-namely flexing your knees, and rolling into what skydivers refer to as a parachute landing fall, or plf.
If you jumped just before impact, your speed towards the bottom of the elevator shaft would go down a little bit. But consider that the elevator falls tens of meters, while you jump about one meter. Your jumping ability is quite small and probably won't make a noticeable difference
No. You'd reduce your impact velocity, but only with a negligible small fraction.

vanilla sky? i dont know. everyone gets inspiration from somewhere is all im saying.
I enjoyed the film, so did 85% of people who are paid to criticize films.
then again most of those people have dumb opinions about movies
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Also I didn't see the movie, but that's because I've noticed a few trends in movies having worked in the industry a number of years. Movies that are heavily advertised generally suck. They advertise well in advance and prolifically. Some movies, like Iron Man, turned out good even though they were heavily advertised but you then look at the trailers. If the trailers show all the good parts of the movie, like you can pretty much grasp everything that is going to happen in the movie from the trailer, then it's going to suck. Lastly, there's movies based on books. Movies *loosely* based on books, for instance Harry Potter 4-7, Bladerunner, etc. are good because they take the theme of the book and rework it entirely to fit a the cinematic art form. IMO Harry Potter 5 was the best movie in the series because it ignored so much of the shit the book had in it and just focused on the stuff that translated well to the screen. Then you have movies based on books to the T. These tend to range from disappointing to god awful because they're forcing the literary genre to translate precisely into cinematography. This just doesn't work. Imagine if Lord of the Rings spent about 5 minutes in each scene doing close up detailed analysis of the characters surroundings. Yeah.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Time Enough For Love, by Robert Heinlein
Lord of the Rings basically DOES do that by having exhaustive landscape scenes...
Hugo was probably one of the best new films I have seen in the past twelve months. Yet I don't remember seeing it advertised outside a trailer before a different movie.
I say 'best new' because since I'm taking a film course I'm having to watch older, classic films and such. I watched Goodfellas last night and was left wondering why the hell didn't I watch it sooner.
I won't see the movie then. I haven't even read the books anyway.

Hi all, we are in the process to migrate from a Domino-based architecture to a Zimbra-based one. We would like to set up a Zimbra MTA and a Zimbra POP/IMAP server on different machines and preserve the Domino server (split domain). Now the problem is, if I want the MTA to be the authoritative server, should I configure all the accounts there? Is there a way to get them from the Domino/Zimbra proxies via LDAP? Or maybe should I change my architecture and let the Zimbra proxy be the authoritative? If so, again should I configure all accounts on it?
Thank you for your time.

|Council sees short agenda
|Written by Chris Lee
City Clerk/Treasurer Kathy Olofson had some items and prices at the Tuesday, Oct. 2 regular Holyoke City Council meeting that she planned to take to the Oct. 8 planning meeting for the 125th Anniversary. Olofson said she looked into some pricing on pins, coins and lanyards that could be sold during the city's 125th anniversary celebration.
A first planning meeting was held Monday, Oct. 8 at the Peerless Theatre. Another meeting is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 15 at 5:30 p.m. at the Peerless. Anyone interested in helping plan is encouraged to attend to share ideas.
Phillips County Economic Development reports
Phillips County Economic Development Corporation executive director Jeff Weaver attended last week's meeting to run over the 2013 budget with council members.
He also gave a short update on what has been going on in 2012. He said PCEDC was involved with the new Seaboard feed mill as well as the Cobblestone hotel project. Previous director Erica Ayoub got the ball rolling on the hotel and Weaver is helping oversee the end of it. He noted they just recently received an application which will be reviewed and assessed.
Weaver said a Phillips County housing and needs assessment was conducted in 2004 and it needs to be updated. He noted it will cost a significant amount so they are looking for resources to get it updated for a cheaper cost.
Other business
In other business Oct. 2, council members:
—renewed the business lease with Veronica Marroquin at 145 E. Denver at $200/month.
—renewed liquor license for Hometown Liquor.
—voted to move the Tuesday, Nov. 6 meeting to Monday, Nov. 5 to allow for Kathy Olofson to serve as an election judge.
—presented the first draft of the 2013 budget.
—voted to pay half of the $20 price for flu shots for city employees and council members.

Sounds cool Sigurd. I'd love to map a few of your ruins when you are up and running. I hope you dont mind I changed the title of the thread to bring it in line with the convention.
Every region needs a place where the monsters come from!
In so far as I can suggest what should be done with this region and how it could be developed I say:
"Fie on (current) cities, roads, and developments of any size!"
I'm looking to make it tough and unsuitable for easy settlement. Not rivers of ash and fountains of magma but perhaps deadlands or a mini dessert.
Of course its still part of the group project so I don't know what my wishes mean, but there they are.....
Anyone wanting to have an exotic animal or Ruin I invite you to talk to me while I'm working on the land. I'll adapt or fold,spindle, mutilate to make this a region that could actually hide something.

Anyone with the various Fractal Terrains exports, MDR, or whatever sort of file for this region (and world) could you PM me. I'd love to have something more to start with.

Sure I'm all for convention. I thought the simpler naming system would be easier to navigate. I'd go so far as to suggest the naming format be.
alpha numeral numeral - numberal numeral numeral - Region name.
so this would be
a01 - 030 - Wilderness and Ruin
a01 - 030 - Wilderness and Ruin - Sigurd
That would sort better and, I think, be easier on the eyes if this were a list.
But I'm cool with anything we all do.
Sorry I dont have an MDR thats an FT thing. Neon or Ravs might be able to help a little but I have a greyscale height map. The border is missing. I cant remember if that is my script or whether the data ended there. Technically the tile ends at the border of the image and so you might need to hand edit in some of that missing border if you want to.

Just thought I'd give a general outline for my neighbors.
This is a quick outline.
Region 30 is a largely forsaken place. It has a ring of terrible land (Haven't decided how) surrounding a dried out river that leads to a dead lake. Around the lake are the remains of a dead culture including all the nasties that don't strictly need much to exist. Liches, the occasional old tower, the mad wizard scholar looking for secrets - that sort of thing.
The mountains around the rim hold old temples and tombs from the dead culture. Tales of the dangers in these mountains has largely kept any settlement plans elsewhere.
Gold, danger, nasties and no over arching government entangles. It holds potential!
RE Borders I'll do whatever people want. Assuming I get more complete image squares, I'll go to the end of my square. Otherwise a border around our current project might be a useful constraint and I'll leave it in.

Basically by playing with settings in programs I didn't write, I have a clearer mock up of section 30. Here is it, still with the Wilbur shade colours, modified a bit. A version without contour lines and one with 10m contours.
What it tells me is that the land is still too bumpy in the 'plains' and not bumpy enough in the hills. Oh well, this has to mesh with the rest of the tiles and I'm not actually putting a building on it
My rivers are too deep and short, I have no vegitation yet, and I haven't really asserted _my_ control on the square. I'm still 'discovering' the land not training it.
You can see that I cut in the river bed and opened a pass through the mountains. I did this in Wilbur.
Q: Is this too big a picture to include in the message?
Q: Can someone more observant than me tell me how big these squares are in miles or km?

Sorry for being a bit thick, but what is an MDR file?
Great start, Sigurd! I really like the idea of a desolate mountainy place with lots of monsters. Good quest country!
The squares are about 600 miles across, a little more for the southern lands a little less for the northern lands.

Thanks for the link Neonknight. I used some of it.
I like the square but it seems a little to tropical and lush. I need to look at wastelands of various sorts.
Of course it could be a very dense and dangerous forest.
I'm too close to it now. What do people think? Any comment appreciated.

Troopers are investigating a robbery of an elderly female that occurred in the parking lot of the Pathmark, 3901 Lancaster Pike, yesterday evening.
The incident occurred at 7:16 p.m. when an 89-year-old female was loading groceries into her car. An unknown black male suspect wearing dark clothing ran up to the victim and punched her in the head, knocking her to the ground. He then removed her waist pack, which contained money and credit cards, from the front seat of her vehicle, and ran away.
The victim was transported to St. Francis Hospital, where she was treated for minor injuries and released.
The Delaware State Police is asking anyone who may have any information in reference to this incident to contact the Robbery Unit at Troop 2 at 834-2630 extension 6. Citizens may also provide a tip by texting keyword "DSP" plus your message to 274637 (CRIMES), or through lines maintained by Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) TIP-3333.

Wisconsin's new concealed carry law, Act 35, which allows residents to carry concealed weapons with a permit, officially went into effect Tuesday. But it appears as though many questions remain. Some are saying the law "is loaded" with rules while others say the law has "broad new freedoms." Many of the questions regarding the implementation are answered in a 56-page document I found on the Wisconsin Towns website. There is plenty of other information all over the Internet. Whether this is a good law will be determined in the future.

Some of us have been waiting a lifetime for this
January 20, 2011
Although I enjoy almost all sports, I don't typically use this column to talk about those things. An editorial should be about important national topics such as our more than $14 trillion national debt, increasing health care costs and the use of politics by some to make excuses or try to explain why an insane man shot people at an Arizona grocery store. An editorial typically should be an opinion about a local issue such as the rescue and fire services disagreement between Geneva Township and the Lake Geneva Fire Department or whether the Walworth County District Attorney's Office should have filed charges against Lake Geneva city staff for mismanagement.

Sixty years later, we remember what they did
October 20, 2011
I glanced out the window of our bus. There was a lone soldier standing as stiff as a stick, saluting. He couldnt have been much past 20.That lone soldier was standing outside one of two buses full of World War II veterans at the D.C. airport. I was a Chaper One for one of those veterans on something called Honor Flight. Honor Flight is an organization which honors veterans by sending them to Washington to see the patriotic sites. The World War II memorial. The Iwo Jima statue. The guards changing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. But its more than a sightseeing trip. It was a whirlwind journey meant to honor the last of the World War II veterans, to say thanks. For many of them it was the first time they saw the memorial built in their name. For too many it will be the last time.
Downtown parking solutions not easy to come by
October 13, 2011
It seems as though I have rattled many raw and exposed nerves when it comes to this parking issue in the city of Lake Geneva. Last week, I sang the praises of the councils decision to purchase 60 parking pay station kiosks and suggested many of the people complaining about them will soon realize how wrong they were to moan and whine about them. Time will tell if I am right or if I end up completely full of it. For now, I stand by every statement I made and the way I made it.
State-of-the-art parking kiosks a good change
October 06, 2011
The ink isnt even dry, so to speak, on a contract to buy the 60 new state-of-the-art parking station kiosks and all Im hearing and reading are complaints. People are whining about having to walk a few extra steps to the stations after they park and how its going to be more time consuming and inconvenient. Others are complaining about having to remember their parking space number or how they may have to actually read and use their brain to figure out how to work the new machines.The cost of the new system also appears to be irking some people. With an $810,000 price tag, this system nearly matches the cost of the new aerial ladder truck. Its slightly less than all the road work that will occur in the city during the next three years.

9/11 tragedy remains sobering in many ways

To be honest, my plan this weekend was to avoid all news coverage of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America. It certainly wasnt a decision made out of disrespect for this country, those who died, all the heroes who made a difference that day and the soldiers and other servicemen who continue to battle this war on terrorism.

Last weeks Lake Geneva City Council meetings may have seemed like an unfortunate example of democracy gone awry.Virtually all the speakers wanted the council to turn down the proposal that might pave the way for a new development in the Geneva Ridge area.Not only did the council members support the change in the comprehensive plan on a 5-3 vote, but they gave very few reasons for their vote. Only Alderman Tom Hartz provided any explanation.
The good, bad and ugly in a community
August 25, 2011
For many visitors to Lake Genevas annual Venetian Festival, the first thought that comes to mind is having fun.We go on carnival rides, play games, listen to music, catch up with people, spend time with family and friends and definitely hit the food tents. While all of that is fun, I think the best parts of Venetian Festival are the food and beer tents run by the local charity organizations.
Council decisions will determine citys future
August 18, 2011
Monday night is going to be quite a battle.Its been a long time since such important city decisions were expected to be discussed and possibly voted on all at the same meeting.Probably the most controversial will be the public hearing on the recommended change to the Master Plan for the Geneva Ridge Joint Venture property on the southeast side of the city.

My thoughts....
A good thing for Zimbra share owners
A bad thing for Zimbra community
Why? Well, the first one is obvious.
The second is because I don't believe on wolfs with a sheep dress. In some time we will see Yahoo ads on mails sent from the Open Source release. Also, Yahoo wants all of us using Yahoo Mail, so Zimbra is a contender...I suspect they only want/need the technology behind the scene to improve its mail platform.
As usual, they take profit from all the efforts made by people that believed on a really usable, fancy and (why not) cool Open Source mail platform....
I hope, really, thing will come in a different way, but as I said...I don't believe on sheep dressed wolfs.
My next step....see and wait.

Stormare was born on Aug. 27, 1953 and raised in the small village of Arbra, in eastern Sweden. Growing up, he traveled a great deal with his family through his father's work as an inventor. At the age of six, he declared to his skeptical parents that someday he would work in the movie business in California. However, it was not until the 20-year-old was living in Stockholm after a brief stint with the Air Force that Stormare had any exposure to performing arts. He saw his first play at Sweden's Royal National Theater and had a revelation, starting down the path towards acting by first learning the ropes backstage as well as attending a four-year drama program.

...and yesterday was brought to you by the number 54, thanks to the Mathematical Association of America's NumberADay blog. Every working day they post a number and a biography of its interesting properties.
Today's number 11,185,272 is the number of decimal digits in the 46th known Mersenne prime, discovered on Sept. 6, 2008 (you can read more in Prime record broken? on Plus).
54 might seems less significant, but in fact thanks to the MAA Plus now knows that it is the smallest number that can be written as the sum of 3 squares in 3 ways, the number of colored squares on a Rubik's cube, and is a nonadecagonal (19-gonal) number!

It's lunchtime, and I'm waiting in the cafe queue to buy a sandwich along with everyone else. What a lot of sandwiches... Imagine if everyone piled their sandwiches one on top of another... I wonder how high the mighty tower of sandwiches might be? Let's see... 60 million people in the UK, say 1 in 8 is having a sandwich right now, each sandwich might be about 3cm thick including filing, so that's... over 200km high!
You might say I'm thinking too much about sandwiches, but I'm actually exercising my number sense. Which, along with allowing me to make quick guesses about how big things are or how many there might be, also might be helping me get better at calculus and algebra. Researchers Michèle Mazzocco, Lisa Feigenson and Justin Halberda, from John Hopkins University, have shown that being good at formal mathematics is linked to having a good innate number sense. See, I'm not waiting in the sandwich queue, I'm studying!

As sporting glories continue in Beijing with the Paralympics taking up where the Olympics left off, many of us have marvelled at the architecture almost as much as at the sporting achievements. One of the Olympic venues, the National Aquatic Centre or Water Cube, seems to be sliced from a giant foam of bubbles, and it turns out mathematics is responsible for this amazing structure.

You can come out now, it's safe...
Well it's official, the first beam in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN has safely made its way around the 27km tunnel at around 1030 this morning, local time. It was a historic moment, the culmination of over 20 years' work building the biggest experiment the world has seen, and one that many hope will give us a glimpse into the beginnings of the universe and give experimental evidence to long-held theories fundamental to physics.
"It's a fantastic moment," said LHC project leader Lyn Evans, "we can now look forward to a new era of understanding about the origins and evolution of the universe."
Starting up a major new particle accelarator takes much more than just flipping a switch. Thousands of individual elements have to work in harmony and timings have to be synchronized to under a billionth of a second. The second beam was fired at around 2pm local time, and is now making its way around in the opposite direction. Over the next few weeks, as the people at the LHC learn how to drive their new toy, they will steer the two beams, finer than a human hair, into a head-on collision. It will be these collisions that will allow the research programme to begin properly.
Once colliding beams have been established, there will be a period of measurement and calibration for the LHC's four major experiments, and new results could start to appear in about a year's time. Experiments at the LHC will allow physicists to complete a journey that started with Newton's description of gravity. Gravity acts on mass, but so far science is unable to explain the mechanism that generates mass. Experiments at the LHC will provide the answer. LHC experiments will also try to probe the mysterious dark matter of the universe – visible matter seems to account for just 4% of what must exist, while about a quarter is believed to be dark matter. They will investigate the reason for nature's preference for matter over antimatter, and they will probe matter as it existed at the very beginning of time.
"The LHC is a discovery machine," said CERN Director General Robert Aymar, "its research programme has the potential to change our view of the Universe profoundly, continuing a tradition of human curiosity that's as old as mankind itself."

Prime record broken?
Volunteers have claimed to have found the largest prime number yet — twice within a fortnight! The two new record breakers are both Mersenne primes: numbers which can be written in the form 2p-1, where p is also prime.
Every whole number can be written as a product of prime numbers in a unique way, and this is why the primes are regarded as the building blocks of number theory. Mathematicians have known since antiquity that there are infinitely many primes, but there isn't a formula which describes them all. To check if a number is prime, you have to go through painstaking algorithms that take up a huge amount of computing power. The task becomes easier when the number you're checking for primeness is a Mersenne number of the form described above.
But still, one computer isn't enough to do the job: the eleven previous largest prime discoverers have all been part of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS), which uses the computing power "donated" by tens of thousands of volunteers to chomp through the necessary calculations. The previous record prime — found in September 2006 — would have taken an ordinary PC 4000 years to find, but with the help of a 70,000 strong computer network, able to perform 22 trillion calculations per second, popped out in "only" nine months.
Why would anyone want to find the largest prime to date? For the fun of it, of course, in true nerdy-style, but there's the added bonus of a $50,000 prize for the first to discover a prime with 10 million digits. On a less frivolous level, primes are extremely useful in cryptography: because factorising large numbers into their prime factors is so computationally expensive, these factors can, and do, serve as almost unbreakable keys to encrypted messages — like the ones we send over the Internet every time we use our credit cards or send encrypted emails.
Experts are now performing independent checks to verify that the two new numbers really are prime, and are due to report back soon.
To find out more about GIMPS, previous Mersenne prime discoveries, and the role of primes in cryptography, read the Plus articles

Making a commitment to a regular skin care regimen is not enough: The correct products need to be used, and in the correct order, for the program to successfully achieve and maintain the highest level of skin health and beauty. Let the developers of CellCeuticals Sets and Kits help you find that correct balance of products to make your daily skin care program successful. With all the best intentions, many women mis-match skin care products. The formulas of some products may conflict with, or even work in opposition to, the actions of others. Choosing CellCeuticals Sets and Kits products provides a short-cut to achieving a holistic skin care program, in which the entire treatment achieves a synergistic balance.
Individually, the products in the CellCeuticals Sets and Kits have been developed with technologically advanced techniques, meeting rigorous scientific standards, clinical validation and the highest levels of production systems. As the saying goes, however, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts: As carefully designed programs, the CellCeuticals Sets and Kits provide step-by-step systems to provide means to restore, rejuvenate and perfect skin health and beauty.
The researchers and product developers at CellCeuticals use biomedical technology to create formulas that will fight skin aging and rejuvenate the complexion. Beyond individual skin care products, however, they have also developed CellCeuticals Sets and Kits as a carefully planned program to achieve an overall goal of fresh, beautiful skin. Take advantage of their expertise; you'll enjoy where it takes you.
Using a five-step process, the CellCeuticals Skin Treatment System approaches the program of skin rejuvenation and care from a variety of directions. CellCeuticals Extreme Defense is an antioxidant serum that provides a preventative treatment to counteract destructive free radicals. Using a complex formula, including vitamins C and E as well as green tea extract, it helps to firm and tone the skin. To further improve skin smoothness, CellCeuticals CellGenesis uses the GFP Cellular Complex to stimulate skin cell growth to create younger-looking skin. CellCeuticals Extremely Gentle Cleanser is provided to effectively remove the impurities and eye makeup residue that build up on a daily basis. This is followed by CellCeuticals NeoCell, which includes the proprietary NeoCell Micro-Resurfacing Skin Treatment system of natural enzymes and gentle pumice beads to help remove old, dead skin cells and leave a smooth, glowing complexion. The deep-penetrating moisturizer, CellCeuticals CerActive, provides ceramides and anti-irritants to calm the skin. Sodium hyaluronate also acts as a humectant, to actually attract moisture into the skin tissues and hold it there, for long-lasting moisturization. Each of the products in this treatment system are suitable for all skin types.

Impact 2011 joins Pulse* in the rear view mirror as IBM continues to truck through 2011.
The next stop in the convoy is Innovate. June 5-9 in Orlando, FL.
What is Innovate? Well, one of my fellow marketing folks worked very hard on this description of Innovate, so I'm just going to paste it in the section below:
Innovate 2011 is the event that recognizes, celebrates and enables software and systems innovation. It is the conference totally focused on helping you dramatically improve software economics.
Translation: if you work with software, and especially if you work with Rational, this is your show!
The Integrated Service Management team will be there in full force, focusing on design and delivery.
Gina Poole, VP Marketing, IBM Rational is hosting the show and if I haven't convinced you already then maybe this will. Keynote speaker, two words: Felicia Day!
For those unfamiliar, take a moment to listen to her keynote at SXSW and you'll start to understand why she's one of the most innovative and successful creators working in the entertainment industry. (and, on a personal note. I got to meet her briefly at SXSW and she's one of the nicest people on the planet)
Registration is open. Put it in fifth gear and get to the Innovate page to register and we look forward to seeing you there.
And, of course, more news on where to find us at Innovate the closer we get to the conference. In the meantime, you can follow the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #ibminnovate.

People thought we were crazy, but when each of our 2 kids turned 16 we signed them up for the MSF course at our local college. Then we bought them a bike to ride. Our daughter started on a Suzuki Marauder 250. Our son is about a foot taller than her and it wouldn't fit him when the time came, so we traded it in on a Suzuki GS500. They both rode for a couple of years before getting a car license. We think it's made them much more aware behind the wheel.
The Moto Guzzi Griso makes a nice starter bike for girls. Here is a link...http://www.motoguzzi-us.com/motorcyc...iso-8v-se.html
The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Time on the 550; 2 years, the XJ700; 4 years. I bought her the R this July and she's in love (with the bike, too).
I think that so much of getting a loved one started is listening to them, not pushing them in any way, and letting things happen naturally. Some folks find out that riding just isn't for them and that's okay.

You can make all of the suggestions you want but let the decision be hers. It doesn't matter how good your choice is, if she does not make the final decision, she will never be happy with it down deep. I learned this through living with one woman almost 45 years and our girls of 42 and 39.
We only think we matter but in the end, we are the sideshow.
'You can say what you want about the South, but I almost never hear of anyone wanting to retire to the North.
The correct bike depends on who is riding it. I am in no way convinced a small bike is the best choice, and I'm tired of hearing that you should start that way. It depends entirely on the rider.
Maybe nobody should start on a Hayabusa, but wtf am I to pass judgment.

I would get her the biggest best most capable bike she can handle and assume she'll grow in to it. I think a lot of money is wasted on "starter" whatevers instead of buying the thing you really wanted/needed.

2016 R1200GS Triple Black (for all of it)
My advice is to have her take a Motorcycle training course for the learing of how to control a motorcycle. Then looke for a motorcycle of 400CC or larger to actual ride. She may find that she will want to go on longer trips than what she would on a 250cc bike.
When I started riding my brother inlaw had started at the same time. He was able to use a friends 175 for learing and I was able to use it to. I then bought a 500cc bike and am glade I did. I was going every where on it and a small cc bike would not have worked except for just going around town.

Here's some of my resoning to start small-
How do you know what she can handle before she even begins to ride?
How many beginners get in over their head with something too powerful or too heavy or too tall for them and they crash or have multiple drops in the driveway and parking lots ?
How many beginners feel intimidated from the beginning with something too heavy or tall and just give up?
This is why I started out on a lowly Honda Rebel. No way in hell would I have ever been able to learn to ride on my Guzzi Cali EV. Or the R850. Had I not been able to learn to ride properly on a bike that I was comfortable on, I'd have given up a long time ago. Either from sheer frustration, or because I was seriously injured in an accident.
Too damn many bikes to list

Dipolar Microwave Plasma Source
Application ID: 10512
This model presents a 2D axisymmetric dipolar microwave plasma source sustained through resonant heating of the electrons. This is known as electron cyclotron resonance (ECR), which occurs when a suitable high magnetic flux density is present along with the microwaves.
This is an advanced model that showcases many of the features that make COMSOL unique, including:
- Infinite elements for the magnetostatic model.
- Functional-based mesh adaption to create a fine mesh on the ECR surface.
- PMLs for the electromagnetic waves to represent
- Degrees of freedom for all 3 components of the high-frequency electric field despite the fact that the problem is geometrically axisymmetric.
- Full anisotropic tensors for the plasma conductivity and charged particle transport properties.
- Resonant power absorption in the ECR surface by the electrons.
- Equation-based modeling using integrated quantities to fix the total absorbed power.
- Solver sequencing to first compute the static magnetic field, then solve for all the plasma components.

A Coliseum for the taxpayers
(Page 2 of 2)
Now, four developers have different ideas on how to move forward. According to published reports, each of the bidders said they would finance the work without using public funds, meaning that Nassau taxpayers would not have to spend a penny on the redevelopment project.
That's a no-brainer, and a win-win for the county.
Forest City Ratner, the team that designed the business model for the Barclays Center, proposed a smaller, 13,000-seat arena that could be downsized to 4,000 seats for smaller events. The plan includes as many as six restaurants and 50,000 feet of retail space. The proposal would cost approximately $229 million, and generate an estimated $10.9 billion in economic activity over 30 years.
The Madison Square Garden Company proposes to keep the Coliseum's current size, but design it so that it could also host more intimate events. The company projects that the new arena would generate $11 billion in economic activity over 30 years and over $300 million in tax revenue for the county.
Syosset real estate developer Edward Blumenfeld and the Blumenfeld Development Group had the only proposal that would involve demolishing the Coliseum and building something completely new, with a $180 million price tag. The plan would generate approximately $10 million to $20 million in annual sales tax revenue for the county.
Lastly, New York Sports LLC, based in Bayville, proposed a family-friendly entertainment complex geared toward Long Island's athletes. It would also downsize the arena, and spend $60 million to $90 million to refurbish its interior. This proposal would generate between $10 million and $20 million in annual tax revenue.
The redevelopment of the Coliseum could be the beginning of a renaissance in Nassau County. Our county executive understands the importance of new development at the site in order to continue generating revenue and create jobs.
In the coming months, taxpayers will learn more about the proposals. We need something sexy to keep people on Long Island. We need a contemporary and practical plan that grows the economy while, most importantly, not using taxpayer money. The time for redeveloping the Coliseum is now.

No. 16 Oklahoma Downs Iowa State, 10-0
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State softball team opened up its 2014 Big 12 campaign against Oklahoma Friday afternoon at the Cyclone Sports Complex. The Cyclones (17-12, 0-1 Big 12) fell to the No. 16 Sooners (22-8, 1-0 Big 12), 10-0 in five innings.
It was a day for the power hitters as the Sooners posted four home runs en route to the victory.
OU's Powerful Start
There was excitement in the air with the start of the Big 12 season and one of the top teams in the conference in Oklahoma making their way to the Cyclone Sports Complex. However, Oklahoma showed they were up to the task on a chilly day in Ames as lead-off hitter Georgia Casey started the game with a deep solo homer to left field off Katie Johnson to put the Sooners up 1-0.
Johnson settled down in the first, retiring the next three batters in order to end the inning.
Another Sooner Home Run
With the game 2-0 Oklahoma headed into the third inning, Iowa State was still in strong shape to make a run once the bats got hot. However, Oklahoma was insistent on making it as tough as task as possible as Kady Self hit her first home run of the day over the fence in right to bring home two runs and up the Oklahoma lead to 3-0.
Self would post another homer in the fourth inning to give herself two home runs and five RBIs on the day.
Iowa State's Chance
Headed to the bottom of the third down 4-0, Iowa State wanted to make a dent into the scoreboard before it got too far away. The Cyclones saw Sara Rice reach base on a hit by pitch, and Maddie Reese win an enduring at-bat over Kelsey Stevens by drawing a walk. Brittany Gomez then moved everyone over with a single up the middle to load the bases with just one out.
However, Stevens responded in the circle with a strikeout of Sarah Hawryluk and inducing a fly ball by Lexi Slater to get out of the jam.
Finishing Touches
Oklahoma got the needed eight-run lead in the fifth inning as Shelby Pendley demonstrated why she is one of the most feared hitters in the Big 12 with a big 3-run home run to move Oklahoma ahead 10-0.
Player of the Game
Brittany Gomez. The Cyclone lead-off hitter demonstrated her ability with a 2-for-3 day. ISU's All-Big 12 sophomore centerfielder now has 47 hits on the season.
On Deck

How do I backup COS and Distribution Lists using Network Edition 4.5.0? I successfully restored the "system", "ldap", and "accounts" via the CLI tools (zmrestore & zmrestoreldap). However, the COS (and possibly other system attributes) and Distribution Lists I had set up did not follow.
After running a full backup from the Web-based admin page on my original server, I copied the /opt/zimbra/backup folder to a new, fresh install of Network 4.5.
