My first city map, based on roleplaying city map generator and photoshop
Attachment 62373
Hey Francissimo,
Firstly, welcome to the Guild
I really like the map - I'm guessing you used the excellent tutorial by pyrandon? That's how I got started with city maps too. I'll be constructive, as I'm sure the other guys here would be too.
I like the shading you have on the map, it gives a really nice sense of height and makes the river feel ingrained into the terrain. Also great is the effect you have achieved for the building rooftops and the grey/black rock texture to illustrate ridges.
Now, a couple of constructive criticisms which I hope you won't mind me pointing out!
From a distance, the texture for your grass/ground cover and your trees look good, but when you zoom in by about 20-30% the grass becomes a little too grainy and the trees are somewhat undefined. I've posted a link to a tutorial for "realistic" top-down trees that I've used before and really cannot recommend more highly. I also love the technique you have used for the fields just north-east of the city, but one thing that sticks out is the blur effect when they begin to press up against your city's walls, so maybe a more subtle blending or something else would have worked well there? And finally, for me, the overall colour tone doesn't sit quite right with me. Your rivers are very blue, but the green areas feel a little off or washed out for some reason. It could be that grainy (dissolve?) overlay where you have a lot of black specks in amongst the green.
But anyway, there's my two cents. I really like it and I'm in admiration of your rooftops and rivers
How to colour quick trees for RPG maps | Fantastic Maps
Hi Cirias and thanks for those constructive critics, thats what helps to be a better cartograph I'll try to improve my trees with the tutorial you pointed, the render is awesome. I didn't know pyrandon tutorial but i think i follow a quite similar one here : http://www.cerbere.org/dain/share/tutos/ville
it's in french but i think the basis are the same. For the relief of rivers i use a soft black brush with extrusion effect reverse and for the roof i played with layer effects, shadows textures and extrusion..
Ps: i've tried the technique of this tutorial, the render is really nice for a short amount of time!

My only comment about the map is that I like it. Gives me some ideas for a city map that I am working on. As far as the tutorial you noted, that is pyrandon's tutorial, that particular one has it translated into French. Either way, it's an excellent tutorial.

DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU equestrian team defeated Hunter Seat defending National Champion Baylor in an exhibition meet Saturday morning at BuckBranch Farm. The Mustangs and Bears tied 6-6, but SMU won the raw score tie breaker, 962-818.
"Today was a great chance for our young team to get experience against Baylor, the defending national champion in Hunter Seat," head coach Haley Schoolfield said. "Our team performed very well, and today showed us areas where we still need to improve before we play Delaware State. I'm extremely excited about the year, our talent and our progress we made in the offseason."
The teams split the flat 3-3, with SMU taking the raw score 482-408. Paulena Johnson earned a point with her 86-83 defeat of Tara Funk.

Students are strongly encouraged to have health insurance coverage. The University recommends that the student's insurance plan be carefully evaluated to determine whether it can be used in the local area (i.e. – is it a PPO or HMO plan that will not cover local physicians and/or hospitals? Would it require that the student return home for care?).
A voluntary accident and sickness health insurance policy is offered through United Health Care (American College Student Association). The University recommends enrollment for students not covered by another policy. Insurance can be purchased for 3, 6 or 12 months. All details, including enrollment and payment is handled by United Health Care.

To improve the reliability and the energy efficiency of datacenters, as well as to reduce infrastructure costs and environmental impacts, we demonstrated and evaluated the use of a 10 kW Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) stack and system for powering the servers in a data center.
In this study, we designed, tested and demonstrated a PEMFC system as a Distributed Generation (DG) prime mover that has high reliability and efficiency for both steady state and dynamic operations. The 10kW PEMFC stack and system was designed to power a server rack and eliminate the power distribution system in the datacenter. The steady state electrical properties such as efficiency and polarization curves were evaluated. The ramp rate and dynamic response of the PEMFC system to server and system dynamics was also characterized and can be used to determine energy storage requirements and develop optimal control strategies to enable the dynamic load following capability.}, author = {Li Zhao and Jacob Brouwer and Sean James and Eric Peterson and John Siegler and Aman Kansal and Jie Liu}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the ASME 2014 8th International Conference on Energy Sustainability & 12th Fuel Cell Science, Engineering and Technology Conference}, month = {June}, publisher = {ASME}, title = {Servers Powered By a 10kW In-rack Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell System}, url = {http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=217361}, year = {2014}, }

FAQ: Books, Supplies, and Copying
Where can I get the books for my course?
Roberta Harmon, the English Department Administrative Assistant, has copies of the required texts for all of our composition courses. You can also get them from the department Chair.
Where can I get classroom and office supplies, like post-it notes, dry erase markers, and blue books?
Adjunct faculty can get office and classroom supplies from the Welcome Center on the basement level of Somerset Hall.
Where can I make copies?
The Copy Center is located on the first floor of the College Center and is open Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.until 8:00 p.m. You can make copies there with the same code you use elsewhere. (Contact the Adjunct Liaison if you don't know the code.) You can make copies yourself at the Copy Center, or you can email them or drop off a request for copies to be made if you allow enough time. Copy requests can be sent via attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to include in your message your name, the department that you're from and any specific instructions for your copying job.
You can also make copies at the copier in the Adjunct Office (room L021).
As a last resort, adjuncts may make copies at either of the copy machines on the third floor of Somerset Hall. However, these machines are not designed to handle heavy usage by everyone in the department, so adjuncts are requested to make their copies at either the Adjunct Office or the Copy Center if at all possible.
I teach a 7:00 a.m. class and need to use the Copy Center, but it's not open that early. What do I do?
You'll need to plan ahead and make your copies the day before your class meets.
I want to have the Copy Center make copies of my tests. What security procedures are in place for copying tests?
For security reasons, tests cannot be picked up or dropped off at the Copy Center. Tests should be emailed in advance to the Copy Center at email@example.com. You will receive an email when your tests are ready for pickup at the Testing Center (NOT the Copy Center), located in room L-029 (the lower level of the Library, near the Theater). Tests will be available for pickup during the Testing Center's hours of operation.
I'd prefer to distribute supplemental materials to my class electronically rather than by making paper copies. How can I do this?
You have four options:
- Upload the materials to your class page in the Lion's Den
- Upload the materials to your class in WebStudy
- Post the materials to your faculty web page if you have one AND if the materials that you're posting are not protected by copyright (e.g. works in the public domain) or if you hold copyright to the material (e.g. photographs that you've taken, or works that you've written)
- Ask the library to put together an electronic course pack for your class if the materials that you're distributing are copyrighted; please be aware of the deadlines for requesting course packs listed on the library's "Course Packs" info page.
Keep in mind that the majority of the reading that you assign must come from the required texts for the course. You may supplement the required texts with outside readings, but students should be making enough use of the required texts to justify the purchase or rental price paid for the books.
What do I need to know about copyright when making copies or posting handouts online?
All faculty are expected to abide by U.S. copyright law. Please see the RVCC Copyright Policy for the definition of "Fair Use" and detailed copyright guidelines. Two other great resources for answering questions about copyright are the U.S. Copyright Office's FAQ page and the Copyright Office's Circular #21: Reproduction of Copyrighted Works by Educators and Librarians (.pdf).

Written on: 09/03/2011
I have been using Driclor for over 10 years now and think it is FANTASTIC. I wished that I had it in my teens, while my feet and hands still get sweaty (as I don't apply Driclor to them) my underarms are dry and as a female underarm sweat was VERY embarassing, middle of winter and I would still sweat under the arms!!!. The only side affect would be the itch on application but that goes quickly. I now apply it once a month and while it has a little itch or sting when you apply it doesn't last long and if you keep to the hair shaving area and don't apply too much it will minimize any sting or itch. It has improved my confidence and quality of life (and clothing choice immensly)
Note: I use a standard deodorant to smell fresh between applications but I don't need to!
Written on: 30/07/2013
I had tried using this driclor ang its really much effective.
Now, there is no more driclor available here in our place. Where could i possibly buy it? Please help. I really need it to gain confidence at work.
So disgusting if without this thing.

- Artists Matt Bukovski, Jordan Waeles, Electrodia, Type 41
- Release Date 2011-03-12
- Labels Fuzion Four Records
- Catalog FFRTR001
We are proud to present our debut release provided by our very own DJ/Producer/Remixer, Type 41.
His first release with Fuzion Four is Riptide, a beautiful blend of melodic sound and energy. The intro builds into a driving bass line and melodic synths driving you to the breakdown which houses a beautiful violin with supporting pads and strings in the background. Topped off with a serene piano the track gains momentum and brings in the main portion of the song with a strong theme and and beautiful piano in the background to keep you on level with the song. This release also comes with three amazing remixes from Matt Bukovski, Jordan Waeles and Electrodia.
Matt Bukovski delivers an amazing remix in this package. His classic cinematic sound is blended with an uplifting beat that is unlike any sound we've heard. A simple but melodic intro builds into a beautiful breakdown with a subtle piano and harmonizing strings set in the background giving way to the main melody which meshes well with a bass and beat which gives a new face to this track.
Jordan Waeles gives us two remixes on this release, the Intro Remix and the Club Remix. The intro Remix starts out with some amazing pads and atmosphere with an amazing piano maintaining a simple melody which leads into the beat. Shortly after the breakdown, the beat begins once again with a thick bass line and melody which shows the energy of the song in its purest form. The Club Remix is very much the same as the Intro Remix but has been re-produced to be DJ friendly for clubs.
Electrodia brings to us a different approach to the song. A slower paced progressive approach which fits the clubs well as he captures all the important elements without leaving anything behind. The intro brings in a simple percussion and a thick bass line which holds the beat until the breakdown which captures the beauty of his style and production leading the main portion of the song which houses the simple and beautiful element he is best known for.
We hope you enjoy our first release and we look forward to bringing you fresh talent and amazing songs as we grow!

Frisco, Texas - Butler men's soccer head coach Kelly Findley put his mentoring capabilities on display on March 9, guiding the Indiana ODP Team back from a halftime deficit to win the Boys' National Championship, 3-2, over Virginia.
The win is the first ever national championship for a team from Indiana.
Trailing 2-1 at the break, the Hoosier squad rallied for the equalizer in the final minute of regulation before netting the winning mark in overtime.
"A lot of things went our way," Findley said. "We gave up the early goal and scored again within five minutes. They had a penalty kick that hit the post in overtime, so we had a lot of things go in our favor today.
"The guys really responded well to each other as a group. We showed a lot of character, not just to come back but to win it in overtime."

text: Hi Patrick, Thanks for your valueable feedback. I have one more thing to clarify. ( Sorry in the previous I made a great mistake, I wanted to change destination IP address of the packet and not the source IP address). ( I am referring to first figure in the following link http://www.linuxsecurity.com/resource_files/firewalls/IPTables-Tutorial/iptables-tutorial.html) If I am not wrong, NAT is being in done in PREROUTING AND POST-ROUTING stage. But what I want to do is to take packets in FILTER INPUT stage and change the destination IP address ( I don't want to create any SNAT corresponding to that) and give it to local process. (Assume that a socket waiting with that new destination address) So, will there be any problem ? Also, Let me tell you what I am planning to do.. 1. Create a TCP socket(connection) with machine ip address X 2. Now I am changing machine IP address to Y 3. Now capture the incoming packets coming to the machine corresponding to this TCP connection and replace new IP address Y with X. ( Assume that somehow we know which packet belongs to which session) So, will socket works fine after doing Destination IP address translation or will there be any problem as soon as IP address changes ? Please give me valueable feedback -------- Vasanth IIT Bombau > Vasantha Kumar Puttappa wrote: >> Hi, >> >> ( I am assuming packet arrival to the local host) >> >> As far as I know Netfilter hook for "INPUT" chain is called just >> before >> the ip_local_deliver() function is called.

I made this card for Splitcoast's Sketch Challenge. I used the leftover scraps hanging out on my desk from another card I made last week. The cardstock colors are Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango, Baja Breeze, So Saffron and Night of Navy. I love these colors with this paisley print from My Minds Eye. They are a lot brighter than what I usually do but still feel like they are in my comfort zone. I used my CM flower punch for the two yellow flowers and added a blue brad in the center of each that matches the Baja Breeze pretty well. I've been diggin into my long neglected stamps. The cake and sentiment are out of the SAB Birthday Whimsy set. I stamped it once in Chocolate Chip onto the Baja Breeze and then again on Whisper White in Riding Hood Red. I cut out the cake and adhered it to the paper. Pretty quick and easy card!!
Thanks for stopping by!

5. Funds shall not be invested in any Depository Institution of which a member of the Board is a shareholder, director, or officer, or with any Depository Institution affiliated with an institution for which a member of the Board occupies such office or position;
6. Funds shall not be invested for a maturity that exceeds 5 (five) years;
7. Division of Banking staff are delegated authority to negotiate interest payment schedules including monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity, based upon projected cash flow needs and the best interests of the Board.

8. Division of Banking staff are delegated the authority to make necessary emergency investment or deposit determinations in the event that Funds are required to be invested or deposited during a time when it is not possible for the Board to convene and consider such investment or deposit determination.

Dirty Old Hip Hop
Released By: BBE Records
release description
Following on from 'How About A Game of Chess' one of the most sought after download only albums of 2005 and short listed as one of Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Albums of the year, producer Marc Mac follows on with his latest production project 'Visioneers - Dirty Old Hip Hop.'
Visioneers music is the sound of Hip Hop and Jazz in a head-on collision, a definition which reaches its climax on tracks like, "Ike's Mood I" and versions of the classic Nas "The World Is Yours" and Pharcyde's "Runnin." The project features the talents of Brad Somatik and 4hero drummer Luke Parkhouse and features guest vocals from rappers Capitol A and Voice.
Marc explains, "The Visioneers idea was in my head long before we recorded the first record. Visioneers is not a band, it's a studio project. I wanted to pay respect to hip hop producers like Jazzy Jeff, Jay Dee and Pete Rock for introducing me to Jazz and I needed to produce the tracks like hip hop records that sound phat in a club and not like dinner Jazz, its about reclaiming Jazz."

Proxemics is the study of how people interact. We present a computational formulation of visual proxemics by attempting to label each pair of people in an image with a subset of physically based "touch codes." A baseline approach would be to first perform pose estimation and then detect the touch codes based on the estimated joint locations. We found that this sequential approach does not perform well because pose estimation step is too unreliable for images of interacting people, due to difficulties with occlusion and limb ambiguities. Instead, we propose a direct approach where we build an articulated model tuned for each touch code. Each such model contains two people, connected in an appropriate manner for the touch code in question. We fit this model to the image and then base classification on the fitting error. Experiments show that this approach significantly outperforms the sequential baseline as well as other related approches.

CATS Announces New EXPRESS ROUTE To The Flagship
The City of Anderson and CATS is filling a need for safe, reliable transportation for employees at Flagship Industrial Park beginning Monday, July 9, 2012.
Flagship companies have indicated a need for an increase in employees and a need for safe and reliable public transportation. Three of the four largest companies in the Flagship Center (Xerox, Alliance One and Teleservices Direct) want to add 500 jobs to that area by the end of August totaling 2,000 jobs, with one company willing to purchase monthly bus passes to get their employees to work.
The routes will begin at the CATS downtown terminal at the top of the hour from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm and continue non-stop to Flagship. They will take approximately 15 minutes. The return trip will include stops at Central Indiana Orthopedics and Redbud Trailer Park, which will alleviate congestion from the existing South Madison Bus Route. The return trip will take approximately 30 minutes.
This EXPRESS ROUTE will be completed as a "trial run" for 60 days. Ridership is the key for this program to continue on a permanent basis.
Specific route times and days can be found on the CATS facebook page (City of Anderson Transit System CATS) or the City of Anderson Web Site (www.cityofanderson.com) soon!
For additional information please contact Lori Sylvester, Long Range Planner, at firstname.lastname@example.com or Charlee Turner, Public Information Officer for the City of Anderson at 765-648-6000, or email@example.com.

Hi. New clydesdale here looking to purchase a new bike with a $400-700 range. Admittedly I dont have much cycling knowledge though plan to buy a book or 3 on the subject soon. Itll be mostly road/paths but will want to go offroad so would rather have a mtb with tires more suited for the road than a hybrid(though i dont know where id be offroading in arizona for awhile) and ill be riding it to lose weight(hopefully) by riding to places like south mountain, phoenix zoo, and world wildlife zoo. Roughly 310 pounds so looking for more durability and reliability than light weight. Currently eyeing trek marlin, trek 820, trek 4300, specialized hardrock sport disc 29, specialized hardrock disc 29, giant talon 2. Also considering diamondback trace pro dual sport, and diamondback overdrive comp 29. Though the last two are over my budget. Dont really know which to get as I kinda like them all lol. If theres any others you all would like to suggest Im open to it. Sadly theres not many bike shops that have a different variety of different brands but i dont mind riding the bus 2 hours for a bike shop with great service and prices. Currently riding a cheap full suspension bike(like walmart price bike though from sams club) and wanting a hardtail for now. Thanks for any advice and information can provide!
edit: oh if you want to check the shops im probably going to be using are landis, slippery pig(interesting name lol), bikebarnaz.com, tempe bicycle, and umm cant remember any others off hand. Was considering used but considering my major lack of knowledge(and skills) of parts and being able to maintain them or fix them means im going new. going to keep my old bike even after getting new for simple training on maintenance and try things out on it so if i mess up its not the nice shiny new bike that i mess up lol
edit: while ive just read the stickie about for exercise a road. 1. never ridden so i dont know if getting used to would help or hinder. 2. ive been very inactive so ill be starting with small rides of just a few miles as i am very out of shape sadly. 3. i dont think i could afford a road bike with wheels that would hold my weight but i could be wrong?
ps: sorry for rambling so long

Synopsis: Ai Weiwei, alongside his career as one of the world's most influential artists, has also directed a number of documentaries which examine the social and political conditions in modern China. The brand-new 'Stay Home!' represents his practice as a documentarist, where the activity of registering and collecting undesired and otherwise invisible testimonies itself constitutes the 'work' itself, in a protest against the indifference of a regime with absolute power. 'Stay Home!' unravels the case of the young woman Liu Ximei, who as a 10-year-old was infected with HIV at a hospital after an accident during the harvest - a far too common tragedy, which is partly the product of the country's strict one-child policy. For Ximei is the family's second child, and as a result there is no medical help available, even though it was the health care system that made her ill in the first place. By contrast, the black market is an option, but even here the risk of becoming ill is bigger than the chance of being cured. [Courtesy of CPH: DOX]
Even the most passionate moviegoer is a slave to the marketplace. These 10 titles that arrived at festivals this year do not have U.S. distribution, but should.Read More »
Ai Weiwei might be the most insuppressible suppressed artist of his time.Read More »

Help 3 people get to Women in Seccularism.
Alex, Miranda, and I (Ania) are hoping to get to WiS3 this year. Not only does it seem a great conference, but there is so much opportunity to learn, and a chance to connect with friends we haven't met in person.
Here's the problem. I am trying to get on disability because of a long term health issue (Crohn's and Arthritis) and I have to wait for the court date before making any money.
Alex is a PhD student so he just makes enough to pay rent but not tuition.
Miranda is a new nurse, who spent a month volunteering.
Our funds are low and there is no way we would be able to make it there on our own.
The funds above would pay for the registration for Ania and Alex, 1 hotel room for the three of us, and the cheapest way of getting there (most likely driving) as well as help out with some incidental expenses. We are going to do everything as cheap as possible. Please help if you can.
**If you choose a con reward, feel free to enter the hotel address as the shipping address: 400 Courthouse Square, Alexandria, Virginia 22314

Find a spot in the sun or shade on the decks of the luxurious catamaran, the 'Lambada,' and enjoy the scenery as the boat sails up the western coast of the island to Plum Point, then across the channel to the neighboring island of Anguilla. Get to know your friendly crew and purchase a few rum punches from the cash bar on the way to your first stop, Prickly Pear Island.
The boat will moor at Prickly Pear, a small uninhabited cay off of Anguilla, so you can enjoy the quiet and solitude among the white sand and palm trees. Slip on some of the provided snorkel equipment and dive in, or simply swim up to the beach to lounge in the bathwater-warm shallows. Snorkelers will float among the vibrant coral and groups of darting tropical fish. The crew may instead steer the boat towards the reefs off Prickly Pear Cay, depending on the weather and conditions.
After your visit to Prickly Pear Cay and its surrounding reefs, climb back aboard the boat and dry out in the sun as the captain steers towards Road Bay, a lively stretch of beach on Anguilla proper.
Upon landing on Anguilla, enjoy the provided barbecue buffet at Roy's Basyide Grill that includes ribs, fish and chicken. Hang out at Road Bay Beach for the afternoon. Relax, stroll the stretch of sand or hit up one of the many beachside bars.
Your 8-hour adventure in Anguilla ends with a sail back to St Maarten, and drop-off at select hotels.

The tour was a blast! The captain and crew were fantastic!
September 2015
Great ride to Prickly Pear, but unfortunately didn't get to see Anguilla. Crew was great but we were told that the resorts were closed for 2 months so we didn't go ashore.
May 2015
Great crew. They really take care of you. The tour is really amazing.
April 2015
The crew on board this trip was awesome!! They were constantly making sure we were all OK and serving us snacks and drinks! Even though we had 36 people on our boat it sure never felt like that. I have been on many snorkeling/catamaran trips in Hawaii, Mexico, Caymans, Florida and all over the world and this by far is the best one I have ever been on. The price was great too!
April 2015
This boat trip was the highlight of our vacation to St Martin. The crew was awesome, the snacks provided were perfect, and the rum punch good. Although we had some rough waters, the captain handled the boat well. Anguilla is absolutely beautiful and a must see.

Kim Kardashian's Biggest Fear? Becoming A Cat Lady
September 29, 2012 04:00 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
There's plenty of words that can be used to describe Kim Kardashian. Promiscuous, drama queen and businesswoman have all been used on more than one occasion. But cat lady? According to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, that could very well be the new Kardashian moniker. Except that, of course, her new title will be spelled "kat lady."
Kim Kardashian's in love! Forget Kanye West – the reality starlet is going gaga for Mercy, her adorable new kitty. Kim loves showering her new feline friend with attention, but also worries that the new love affair is getting out of hand. She told People, "I just hope I'm not turning into one of those cat ladies that's Tweeting too many pictures of her pet!"
We have to wonder though: is being a Twitter-happy cat lady that much worse than constantly posting provocative photos? If anything, the presence of that adorable ball of fur makes Kim a lot more likeable.
Kim's usually attracted to big, burly guys, but it turns out that Mercy is just her type when it comes to feline companions. "I have always wanted a white Persian cat with light eyes. That was my thing…I've been always looking at kittens like that online."
Kanye picked up on Kim's new obsession and gave her the kitten as a surprise gift. Kim reciprocated with the gift of tribute, naming her new kitty after one of Kanye's songs. Of course, she had a little help from Mama Kardashian: "My mom actually helped me come up with that name … It's a song of my boyfriend's, so I thought it was cute."
We have an idea for the next season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians: ditch the drama and keep the camera focused on Mercy the kitten! Otherwise, the feline's adventures can always be used for the next Kardashian spin-off: Kim and Mercy take PetSmart!

Took these pictures for a friend
I have an old Accordo frame that is perhaps a year or two older than that and it isn't anything to brag about. Looks like Centurion upgraded their bottom end significantly around that time.
Is that an 85? 86's had down tube shifters. I think the 84's had claw mounted rear derailleurs & head badges.

So this…invention… is called the Sensis sheath. It's a strap-on condom that, as far as I've been able to research, is being marketed for those who are too drunk to be able to put on a standard condom. I guess it's easier to pull the straps to slide the condom on, rather than simply putting your fingers around the penis to slide it up.
Now, I have a few thoughts about this. Not the least is that if you're so drunk you can't put a condom on you probably shouldn't be having sex anyway. If you frequently have sex with people when you're drunk perhaps you need to look at your drinking habits and/or your behavior while drinking.
At the same time, if you are aware of this behavior and are taking measures to be protected, then that's good! I wish more people would be prepared like that. Reduce unplanned pregnancies, reduce the spread of some venereal diseases and so forth.
This is one of those things that, in my opinion, is both "too much" and a good thing. I mean, the idea that someone is so drunk they need a strap on condom just proves that they shouldn't be having sex. However, if they're that determined to have sex at least there's something out there to help them be protected during it.
What are your thoughts about the strap on condom??
After some thought and discussion with other's it's come to my thought (and others as the comment shows) is that this could really help persons with disabilities. If you have dexterity issues, or other issues using your fingers or hands, then this little invention is something that could really help you use condoms, which is a very important thing.
So in this sense, major kudos to the inventor of this product. I sincerely hope it gets marketing so that those who need it can use it.

Freedom of Speech & Election Day at the Polls: Thou Doth Protest Too Much
James J. Woodruff II
St. Francis School of Law
June 13, 2014
Mercer Law Review Vol. 65, No. 331 (2014)
This Article seeks to answer the following question: What are the actual limits the government can place on political speech at and around the polling place? In examining this question, this Article argues that some of the current limitations placed on polling-place activities are unconstitutional. Specifically, this Article focuses on the wearing of political slogans and images within the polling room and campaign-free zone and the placement of campaign signs within the campaign-free zone.

text: A quick look at the weather forecast for the weekend reveals nothing but rain is in store for my neck of the woods. And, while it may seem strange, I'm totally looking forward to it! I love rainy fall weekends. They conjure up images of lighting a fire and curling up on the couch with my family for a movie marathon. Or perhaps tucking into a good book, playing board games, doing crafts with my little guy and maybe even tackling a project on my ever-growing to-do list. But most of all, rainy weekends offer the perfect excuse to linger over breakfast – steaming coffee, lots of fruit, crispy bacon. And, of course, a stack of pancakes fresh from the griddle and dripping with maple syrup. photo credit: Xavier Encinas from Flikr This time of year, I love to add fresh apples and oatmeal into the mix. With a sprinkling of cinnamon, these flavours offer the best tastes of fall. For some inspiration, have a look at these apple pancake recipes from our website: Apple Oatmeal Pancakes Multigrain Apple Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes Smiling Apple Pancakes I haven't yet decided which ones I'll be making.

Unanswered: Can't install on Windows 8. Any help?
I have tried following the Getting Started with Ext JS 4.0, I have the latest version of Google Chrome. I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to installing Apache HTTP Server for Windows. Which one of these would I download, if any? http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache20
When I click on the download link for Ext JS 4 SDK and unzip the file it only gives me a folder called 'ext-4.1.1a' with several folders inside of it, as well as JS Files.
The tutorial also says "Your web root directory may vary depending on your operating system, but if you are using Apache it is typically located at: "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs"" but it says windows can't find that.
I've also tried downloading Sencha SDK Tools, the latest version of Java, XAMPP, Sencha Touch as well as trying to follow numerous tutorials but none of them seem relevant to Windows 8 and I seem to be no closer to getting ExtJS 4.x.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
26 Jan 2013 5:02 PM #2
I'm not sure to what extent your planning on using ExtJS, but for a simple, development of front end, and some JSON files to simulate data from a server. I would suggest you try this light weight webserver Called Mongoose.
You throw this in a directory and start it up, and it will serve the files in that directory over a simple web server.
for example throw it into that extjs folder you extracted, and run it. open up chrome, and navigate to http://localhost:8080

This book is a compilation of brief bibliographies of men who, as the title indicates, were prominent in medicine during the early days in western Pennsylvania. To the reviewer the most interesting part of the entire work is a quotation from the notes of Joseph Doddridge, written in 1824, edited under the direction of Alfred Williams and published by Joel Mensell in 1896. From the extracts of the notes it is evident that Doddridge was a keen observer and possessed considerable dramatic ability in presentation of his material.
The story of these pioneers in western Pennsylvania should be particularly interesting to readers in this locality and to all students of American medical history.

Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a recipe that can be used to replace pasta. It uses yellow or green zucchini lightly cooked in extra virgin olive oil and can be added to a red sauce or with cheese. Doc gives out another recipe where the zucchini is baked with cheese to avoid the problems associated with super heated oils.

In addition to our smoking hot new AMD processor, I've also opted to keep our old heater in commission - that is, I'd like to keep our old 530J around for overclocking testing. Unfortunately, due to issues with our usual C19-CRB Reference motherboard (a forgetful motherboard due to a shot CMOS battery, coupled with busy schedules), I've opted to re-test a group of heatsinks on the more modern Gigabyte 8I955X Royal Platform. Now, while I'd love to show you scads on scads of OCCT graphs here too, the program has an interesting conflict with this board - one which causes it to never finish. As such, I'm left to just let the bloody thing run and record the highest temperatures seen by the program. Not as scientific by any means, but still functional enough to work out. Our test bed was as follows:
Stock Clocks: Idle
Stock Clocks: Load
While there may have been an advantage - heck, even a gain on the AMD front for this heatsink, the Mini Typhoon proves itself capable of performance here, once again, holding in competition next to the likes of the Big Typhoon and Silent Tower - both of which being excellent performers on the stock Intel Platform. Yet, how will this heatsink handle even more heat?
Overclocked: Idle
Overclocked: Load
Ouch - just plain ouch. With three out of four victories, the Mini Typhoon could be riding high right now, if it wasn't for one hell of a crushing loss like this. Considering that the Idle temperatures could only be preceded by one other sink (the 3D Rocker Cooler Pro), and it's load temperatures fell behind those of even Intel's Reference cooler, I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to say here. The only real thing to note was that even from the get go during testing, the body of the heatsink felt excessively hot, a sign that a more powerful, or more forceful fan would be needed to harness the full power of this heatsink. With such a crushing loss at the end of such a great run, can I recommend you the Mini Typhoon in your endeavors into overclocking and beyond? Well, just read the conclusion to see.

text: Designing Demand: The £25m success story of Sheffield's Gripple Business 17 June 11 by Dan Smith Gripple 25 years ago, Hugh Facey was standing in a rainy field in Wales with an upset farmer. It was grim. Facey was a wire-salesman and the farmer was venting to the sodden merchant about the difficulties of connecting fence wires. The world of fencing, not generally considered to be a sexy industry, isn't flooded with attention from design school graduates. And so, on that dreary day in '86 there was no simple, effective product to solve the farmer's woes. Facey decided that he would make that product. He set to work and in 1988 produced a wire joiner -- called the Gripple -- that reduced the time it took to set up a fence by 75 percent. Today, his Sheffield-based company is the market leader, producing an array of products to fasten, clip and tighten wire cables in agriculture and industry, now turning over more than £25million annually. It is a prime example of design as means of solving problems and improving tools. But the Gripple success story is also about what a company does to maintain momentum once it has had its big breakthrough idea. Facey and his team have never rested on their fences. In 2008, the company signed up for the Design Council's Designing Demand project, a support scheme for UK businesses. "We've now got a structure in place which enables us, very simply, to manage projects and we do it more efficiently," says Gordon McRae, special project manager at Gripple. "It means that we bring products to market quicker, we've got a design team that are much more motivated in terms of doing projects that add value and I think also, it gives them time to be more creative." The Design Council, Gripple and design management and workflow consultant Andy Cripps, worked out a set of new targets and approaches -- for instance that 20 percent of revenue should come from products designed in the last three years. In addition, £40,000 was injected into the Ideas and Innovation Centre and it was merged with the marketing team. Now, marketing and design work side by side to create post-Gripple products (such as Gripple's new T-clip, a simple but strong joiner to bind one cable to another, or to a fencepost) that are, literally, essentials in the field. Gripple's rethought and accelerated approach also means a rapid prototype system to build concept products. Three dimensional rendered prototypes are designed on CAD software, while a simulator runs tests to find weak points that need strengthening, or areas that could use less material and save overheads. With rapid prototyping, the design can be finished on Friday and a working model can be in the office by Monday. Thanks to this agility and responsiveness, Gripple is hitting that 20 percent target consistently. The advent of 3D printing could, potentially, further improve this process.
