The SEC opener isn't exactly the time to go about re-inventing yourself as a basketball team.
Unfortunately for Georgia, with the recent loss of leading rebounder Marcus Thornton, that's exactly what the Bulldogs (9-5) will be doing when they open conference play Saturday at Stegeman Coliseum (Fox Sports South, 7 p.m.) against Alabama.
It's certainly altered the identity with which he had hoped his Bulldogs would play.
"We've had to change it, with the loss of Marcus; I'll be honest with you," head coach Mark Fox said Friday before practice. "He was our most physical player, our leading rebounder, so we've had to change our rotation and can't quite play the same way. He gave us some advantages that we don't have now, so we've had to change plans."
One obvious change has been the insertion of true freshman Nemanja Djurisic into the starting lineup against Winthrop, a game which saw him score a season-high 17 points and pull down nine boards.
But that hasn't been all.
"Marcus was also playing the three so Connor has taken his place and is backing up Kentavious (Caldwell-Pope) so that's taken away another power forward from us," Fox said. "We've had to kind of re-invent some things and get some of these younger big guys to play more than one position which as Dean Smith would tell you is not the thing to do. But we've got to have guys play more than one spot."
For a team that's struggled all year rebounding the basketball, that's not a good thing.
The Bulldogs come into play at the bottom of the conference standings in rebounding, and that was with Thornton playing in the majority of the team's 14 non-conference games.
"It's still an area of concern that we're the most worried about right now," sophomore forward Donte Williams said. "We think we can improve. I know the last couple of games we've done a better job with (opponents') field goal percentage. If we can keep that to 39 percent, get that down, it will work better for us."
Fox dismissed the notion of going with a smaller lineup until Thornton gets back, which at this point remains a question mark, although he is not expected to miss the entire season.
"If we went small all the time, it puts you at such a disadvantage rebounding and we're small in the backcourt to begin with. We've got to play very intelligent basketball. If you look at our turnovers for instance, we've had some success taking care of the basketball as of late and that's critical to our success," Fox said. "The issue inside is they're young, they're young physically and they're young in experience. They're not finishing as many plays at this point as we'd like them to, but I will say in the last two days we've finished more post plays than we have the entire year, so we're getting better. But we'll have to continue playing very smart, our perimeter play has been very good and we need to get those perimeter guys the right shots at the right times."
The Bulldogs will need as many shots to fall against the Crimson Tide (11-3) to fall as they can.
Alabama returns two of the league's more dynamic players in 6-foot-8 forward JaMychal Green and 6-6 forward Tony Mitchell, who are averaging 15.3 and 15.1 points respectively for head coach Anthony Grant's squad.
Caldwell-Pope tops Georgia with 14.1 points followed by Gerald Robinson Jr. at 13.8.
Fox hopes his team's strong non-conference schedule will have his team ready for the challenge of the physical Crimson Tide.
"We've played some good teams in our non-league, I think the strength of our non-league schedule has helped us get ready for league play. It's a little different lineup as I said without Marcus, but as I said, our non-league schedule has helped us prepare for Alabama," Fox said. "Their best players (Green and Mitchell) came back, that's the bottom line and that's why they're off to a great start. I've got a lot of respect for how they're playing.
NOTES: Saturday's game will be the first time during the Fox era that Georgia has opened SEC play against a school other than Kentucky. His first Bulldog team lost in Lexington and last year's squad opened its league schedule with a 77-70 win over the Wildcats.
Coinciding with Georgia's current 5-game win streak has been the play of senior guard Dustin Ware. His assignment to the bench ended a streak of 87 collegiate starts but started the Dogs' win streak. Since then, he's averaged 13.2 points (his career avg. is 7.9 ppg), shooting 63 percent from 3-point range (15x24). Ware is on track to become just the 7th player in UGA history to hand out at least 350 assists and score 1,000 points in a career.

Archie got word from Kelly at the Austin Humane Society they have a lot of wonderful kitties up for adoption. This weekend it's a
Name Your 'PURRICE' Weekend
to help a kitty get a great new loving home.
"Name Your Purrice"
cat adoption event this weekendSaturday (4/27) & Sunday (4/28) ). ATX city animal shelter (AAC) is way overloaded with cats, so the
Austin Humane Society
have stepped in to help. They have brought in 44 of their cats to their shelter in the past 24 hours. Every adoption this weekend will help them both out greatly, so the ATX Humane Society is allowing adopters to name their own price for cats. All the same rules still apply. Adopters must fill out an

Pygame Readme

<big>
Version 1.9.0rc2
	<big>
Python Game Development

originally by Pete Shinners, now an open source community project. </big>

http://www.pygame.org

email@example.com

Pygame is a cross-platfrom library designed to make it easy to write
multimedia software, such as games, in Python. Pygame requires the
Python language and SDL multimedia library. It can also make use of
several other popular libraries.
You should definitely begin by installing a binary package
for your system. The binary packages usually come with or
give the information needed for dependencies. Choose an
appropriate installer for your system and version of python
from the pygame downloads page.
http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml
Installing from source is fairly automated. The most work will involve
compiling and installing all the pygame dependencies. Once that is done
run the "setup.py" script which will attempt to auto-configure, build,
and install pygame.
Much more information about installing and compiling is available in the
install.html file.
If you are just getting started with pygame, you should be able
to get started fairly quickly. Pygame comes with many tutorials
and introductions. There is also full reference documentation for
the entire library. Browse the documentation from the documenantation
index. docs/index.html.
On the pygame website, there is also an online copy of this
documentation. You should know that the online documentation stays
up to date with the development version of pygame in svn. This may
be a bit newer than the version of pygame you are using.
Best of all the examples directory has many
playable small programs which can get started playing with the
code right away.
Thanks to everyone who has helped contribute to this library.
Special thanks are also in order.

Marcus Von Appen - many changes, and fixes, 1.7.1+ freebsd maintainer.

Lenard Lindstrom - the 1.8+ windows maintainer, many changes, and fixes.

There's many more folks out there who've submitted helpful ideas,
kept this project going, and basically made my life easer, Thanks!
Many thank you's for people making documentation comments, and adding to the
pygame.org wiki.
Also many thanks for people creating games and putting them on the
pygame.org website for others to learn from and enjoy.
Lots of thanks to James Paige for hosting the pygame bugzilla.
Also a big thanks to Roger Dingledine and the crew at SEUL.ORG
for our excellent hosting.
Pygame is obviously strongly dependent on SDL and Python. It also
links to and embeds several other smaller libraries. The font module
relies on SDL_tff, which is dependent on freetype. The mixer (and
mixer.music) modules depend on SDL_mixer. The image module depends
on SDL_image, which also can use libjpeg and libpng. The transform
module has an embedded version of SDL_rotozoom for its own rotozoom
function. The surfarray module requires the python Numeric package
for its multidimensional numeric arrays.

<big>Todo / Ideas</big> (feel free to submit)

transform.skew() function

transform.scroll() function

image filtering (colors,blurs,etc)

quake-like console with python interpreter

game lobby. client, simple server, and protocol

surfarrays should be able to do RGBA along with RGB

draw with transparancy

draw large sets of primitives with a single call

drawing offsets, perhaps as subsurfaces

new scale2x, scale3x, and scale4x from hiend3d

switch Numeric to numarray (see docs on how to do both)

audio resampling

This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2.1, which can be
found in the file "doc/LGPL". I reserve the right to place future
versions of this library under a different license.
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html
This basically means you can use pygame in any project you want, but
if you make any changes or additions to pygame itself, those must be
released with a compatible license. (preferably submitted back to the
pygame project). Closed source and commercial games are fine.
The programs in the "examples" subdirectory are in the public domain.

Mainland representatives in the CAF Confederation Cup meet Algeria's Es Setif in the return leg tie to be played at the May 8, 1945 Stadium in Setif this evening.
The match kicks off at 20:00 hours as Tunisia officials will be in charge while match commissioner is Gabonese Jean Fidele Diramba.
Central referee is Ben Hassan Mohamed, while Hmila Anouar and Ben Abdelmoumen Kamel are linesmen. Reserve referee is Kordi Med Said also a Tunisian national.
The Tanzania Football Federation has wished the team the best of luck in the match which Simba need a draw of any nature to sail through.
The Tanzanian team kicks off the game with a psychological boost of a two-goal cushion realized during the first leg tie played at the national Stadium in Dar es Salaam a fortnight ago.
TFF's member of the executive committee Sylvester Faya is the head of the delegation that landed in Algiers since Wednesday.
Simba spokesman Ezekiel Kamwaga said the team has been accommodated at the Zidane Hotel in central Setif before having practice session yesterday.
Simba dated Setif tie after breezing past Rwanda's Kiyovu Sport by 3-2 goals aggregate having won the return leg at home by 2-1 goals, the hard way.
It has been the first Tanzania club to reach the CAF Cup final in 1993 and lost by 2-0 goals to Cote d'Ivoire's Stella Abidjan at the Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam.

- The Print
- The Artist
Roy Lichtenstein (1923 – 1997), was a Pop artist whose work was torn from the pages of torrid pulp fiction novels and classic comic books. Lichtenstein was initially a university instructor where he was influenced by artists who based their styles on everyday life. First painting semi-abstractions of the Old West, he later depicted 20th century Americana such as Mickey Mouse and bubble gum wrappers. In 1961, he began exclusively painting comic strip scenes printed with a process that simulated photoengraver's dots. Lichtenstein's other works exposed the contradictions of representing three dimensions on a flat surface.

22 U.S. Code § 6211 - The continuing mission of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty broadcasts
prev | next
It is the sense of Congress that Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty should continue to broadcast to the peoples of Central Europe, Eurasia, and the Persian Gulf until such time as—
(1) a particular nation has clearly demonstrated the successful establishment and consolidation of democratic rule; and
(2) its domestic media which provide balanced, accurate, and comprehensive news and information, is firmly established and widely accessible to the national audience, thus making redundant broadcasts by Radio Free Europe or Radio Liberty.
At such time as a particular nation meets both of these conditions, RFE/RL should phase out broadcasting to that nation.
Source(Pub. L. 103–236, title III, § 312,Apr. 30, 1994, 108 Stat. 444; Pub. L. 106–113, § 1000(a)(7) [div. A, title V, § 503], Nov. 29, 1999, 113 Stat. 1536, 1501A–451.)
1999—Pub. L. 106–113amended section catchline and text generally, substituting present provisions for provisions which set forth sense of Congress that funding of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty be privatized not later than Dec. 31, 1999, directed President to submit analysis and recommendation for achieving this objective with his annual budget submission, and directed Board for International Broadcasting to submit to appropriate congressional committees not later than 120 days after Apr. 30, 1994, report on steps being taken to transfer RFE/RL Research Institute, and periodic progress reports until such transfer would be achieved.
Findings and Declarations
Pub. L. 113–96, § 1,Apr. 3, 2014, 128 Stat. 1098, provided that:
"(a) Congress finds and declares the following:
"(1) The Russian Government has deliberately blocked the Ukrainian people's access to uncensored sources of information and has provided alternative news and information that is both inaccurate and inflammatory;
"(2) United States international programming exists to advance the United States interests and values by presenting accurate and comprehensive news and information, which is the foundation for democratic governance;
"(3) The opinions and views of the Ukrainian people, especially those people located in the eastern regions and Crimea, are not being accurately represented in Russian dominated mass media;
"(4) Russian forces have seized more than five television stations in Crimea and taken over transmissions, switching to a 24/7 Russian propaganda format; this increase in programming augments the already robust pro-Russian programming to Ukraine;
"(5) United States international programming has the potential to combat this anti-democratic propaganda.
"(b) Programming.—Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Incorporated, and the Voice of America service to Ukraine and neighboring regions shall—
"(1) provide news and information that is accessible, credible, and accurate;
"(2) emphasize investigative and analytical journalism to highlight inconsistencies and misinformation provided by Russian or pro-Russian media outlets;
"(3) prioritize programming to areas where access to uncensored sources of information is limited or non-existent, especially populations serviced by Russian supported media outlets;
"(4) increase the number of reporters and organizational presence in eastern Ukraine, especially in Crimea;
"(5) promote democratic processes, respect for human rights, freedom of the press, and territorial sovereignty; and
"(6) take necessary preparatory steps to continue and increase programming and content that promotes democracy and government transparency in Russia.
"(c) Programming Surge.—RFE/RL, Incorporated, and Voice of America programming to Ukraine and neighboring regions shall—
"(1) prioritize programming to eastern Ukraine, including Crimea, and Moldova, and to ethnic and linguistic Russian populations, as well as to Tatar minorities;
"(2) prioritize news and information that directly contributes to the target audiences' understanding of political and economic developments in Ukraine and Moldova, including countering misinformation that may originate from other news outlets, especially Russian supported news outlets;
"(3) provide programming content 24 hours a day, seven days a week to target populations, using all available and effective distribution outlets, including—
"(A) at least 8 weekly hours of total original television and video content in Ukrainian, Russian, and Tatar languages, not inclusive of live video streaming coverage of breaking news, to be distributed on satellite, digital, and through regional television affiliates by the Voice of America; and
"(B) at least 14 weekly hours the total audio content in Ukrainian, Russian, and Tatar languages to be distributed on satellite, digital, and through regional radio affiliates of RFE/RL, Incorporated;

These days, Clarksville, Tenn., is getting attention for Kacey Bogushie's emotional breakdown after being rejected by Ben Flajnik on a recent episode of ABC's "The Bachelor." Bogushie, an administrative assistant from Clarksville, flew to Switzerland to make one final plea to Flajnik on Monday's episode, but he rejected her advances yet again. Jalen Reeves-Maybin is hoping to keep Clarksville in the headlines this fall, just in a much different way. Unlike Bogushie's desperate efforts to find a mate, prospective suitors will be flocking to Clarksville's Northeast High School this year to court Reeves-Maybin. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound athlete has six offers already, and he was at Ole Miss Saturday to check out the Rebels. "They were telling me what they had in mind for me position-wise, how they're planning to run the program and how it was going to be if I were to go to Ole Miss," said Reeves-Maybin, who is drawing interest as a running back, linebacker and defensive back on the next level. Ole Miss, he said, told him it sees him as a linebacker or strong safety in college, though the Rebels didn't rule out a career on the offensive side of the ball. "That's fine with me," Reeves-Maybin said. "I don't really have a preference. I'll play anywhere.
It's kind of funny with me. I'm an athlete and no one has told me one particular position. I just have to kind of keep my game going all around and make sure I can be ready once I get to college. While in Oxford, Reeves-Maybin spent time with Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze, the Rebels' defensive staff and the nation's No. 1 recruit, Loganville, Ga., defensive end Robert Nkemdiche. "He's a real cool guy," Reeves-Maybin said of Nkemdiche. "We were just hanging out and talking about recruiting.
It was definitely a nice visit. I'll definitely be back in Oxford at some point. Reeves-Maybin has scholarship offers from Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Duke and Austin Peay. In addition to his trip to Oxford, he has taken unofficial visits to Tennessee and Vanderbilt. "I liked Tennessee," Reeves-Maybin said. "I liked all the coaches there. They're just great people. It's almost like home. Vanderbilt's just 40 minutes away from where I live. "I'll probably have something in my head a little before football season, but I'll wait until after the college season. You don't know what coaches are going to stay, what coaches are going to leave. I'll probably wait awhile.
I'm really looking for comfort, knowing I can be somewhere and live with myself and not be worried about going back home or anything." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

The improved services at Dar es Salaam Port have attracted more hinterland African countries to use the facility, the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) has said in its March Monthly Economic Review.
The review posted on the bank's website, said the Zimbabwe government, which largely depends on South Africa and Mozambican ports, has now started using Dar es Salaam port for its imports and exports.
This means that a good number of goods destined to Zimbabwe will pass through the port, hence increase revenue to the Tanzanian government.
Apart from Zimbabwe, other African countries which use Dar es Salaam port are Zambia, Malawi and Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda.
"Good performance in transportation receipts was mainly on account of the increase in volume of transit goods due to improved port efficiency and road infrastructure to the neighbouring countries," the review said.
It also said during the year ending February 2012, the average world market prices of major commodities went up save for tea.
The rise in prices of coffee was largely attributed to the decline in coffee production following unfavourable weather condition in Columbia coupled with the rise in demand for coffee in emerging markets such as China and India.
Meanwhile, the review said the price of cotton rose largely due to strong demand for the produce in China. The price of cloves also went up following a strong demand for the crop coupled with low cloves production in Indonesia following an outbreak of a clove disease.
There was also a decline in export value of tobacco owing to a decrease in export unit price, the review added.
On the other hand, it said export value of cloves increased significantly following a surge in the price of cloves in the world market.
During the period under review, the unit price of cloves increased to USD13, 097.8 per tonne compared to an average unit price of USD3, 572.7 per tonne following the supply shocks in the world market.
The BoT report said the value of non-traditional exports was USD3, 850.8m, compared to USD3, 358.7m recorded during the year to February 2011, largely attributed to a rise in gold price in the world market and the export volume.
The price of gold went up by 28.1 percent to USD1, 623.7m and the export volume increased to 40.2 tonnes from 36.4 tonnes. Gold and manufactured goods account for over 80 percent of Tanzania's exports.
During the period under review, the prices of crude oil and white petroleum products increased mainly due to supply concerns in Iran following the EU embargo on its exports.
The price of gold rose by 5.4 percent to USD1, 742 per troy ounce as investors continue to perceive gold to be a safe investment.
The average prices of crude oil and white petroleum products increased during the year ending February 2012, following a decline in oil inventories in the United States and the political instability in the Middle East countries.

So this girl in the UK tried to board a plane a while ago wearing boots covered in metal spikes and was detained, questioned and ultimately had to board the plane with plastic bags on her feet (the scary shoes did get to travel with her, but in luggage). Extreme, I guess, but a reminder that clothing and accessories that resemble Medival torture devices in any way might cause you some major inconvenience with airport security.
Other things you might not want to wear when trying to board a plane:
Stealth assassin costume with daggers and sword.
Just sayin'. Happy summer travels!

- "Now you get this straight. We own you. You're ours. We can shit on you from such a height, you'll think God himself has crapped on you."
- ―Frank Tenpenny
Burning Desire is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by C.R.A.S.H. officers Frank Tenpenny, Eddie Pulaski and Jimmy Hernandez from the Jim's Sticky Ring donut shop in the Market district of Los Santos, San Andreas.
Carl enters the doughnut shop and is spotted by Frank Tenpenny, who tells him to come and sit with them. Tenpenny and Pulaski act with hostility towards Johnson, with Tenpenny reminding him that C.R.A.S.H. owns him. Tenpenny then informs Carl of a 'gangbanging, drug-pushing, cop-killing bitch' holed up in a building in East Los Santos that doesn't like them. Tenpenny tells Carl that he wants the gangster dead.
Carl first heads to an alleyway in Downtown to collect some molotov cocktails that C.R.A.S.H. had left, before heading over to the building in East Los Santos. Carl kills the Los Santos Vagos gangsters surrounding the building and then throws molotov cocktails into five windows around the building. The 'holed up' man, a member of the Los Santos Vagos, runs out of the building, on fire, and dies.
Carl then notices a woman trapped inside - to save her, Carl enters the building and gets to the upstairs bedroom she is in. Then, using a fire extinguisher he obtains from the kitchen, he puts out fires blocking their way, helping the woman escape the building. The woman graciously thanks Carl, and asks him to bring her to her house. Once there, she introduces herself as Denise Robinson, and both of them agree to meet some time later.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Tenpenny has hidden some molotovs in an alleyway in Downtown Los Santos. Pick them up
- You've got some molotovs. Go to the gang house and torch it
- Torch the house. Throw molotovs into the 5 downstairs windows - that'll make it burn
- You've trapped a girl inside the burning building. You'll have to save her
- Take the fire extinguisher upstairs and rescue the girl
- Drive the girl to her house
Post mission phone call
Carl Johnson: Whattup, Sweet?
Sweet Johnson: We got a problem. Some punk-ass, base-head fool has been slingin' to his Grove brothers.
Carl Johnson: What? Who?
Sweet Johnson: Check this out - he's been buying shit over in Glen Park. He know the hood is talking, and he's hiding out with his new Balla friends.
Carl Johnson: Shit, man, how we gonna get to him?
Sweet Johnson: It's time for you to announce your return, CJ! You fuck up Glen Park, and thet turncoat, bitch-ass nigga's gonna lose nerve, and make a break for it.
Carl Johnson: OK, I'm gonna come pick you up.
Sweet Johnson: Hell, no. This is your gig, CJ. You need some stripes. Get over to AmmuNation and get a heater.
There is no monetary reward for completing the mission, although the player can collect some money inside the house. The missions Doberman and Gray Imports are unlocked. Carl also gains some molotov cocktails and a fire extinguisher, whilst Denise becomes Carl's girlfriend.
- The building can not be re-entered after the end of the mission, except when using the Hidden Interiors Universe.
- The interior of the building shows damage after the end of the mission, although the exterior looks the same.
- This mission is one of three to not work correctly if 'pedestrian riot' or 'peds attack each other' cheats is used (The other two are Tanker Commander and Madd Dogg. At the end of the mission, Denise will not move anywhere near the door of her home during the end cutscene, and will instead roam around the areas shown onscreen and eventually leave the screen completely, making the cutscene endless and the game unplayable without reloading a previous save. Using the pedestrians riot cheat before or during the mission will trigger this effect.
- Completing this mission is one of two lynch pin moments early in the game that serve to reduce Carl's (and the player's) "freedom" (the other is the Doberman mission). Whereas before, the time between missions can be spent exploring, undertaking side-missions, searching for tags, and locating unique stunt jumps, once you have a girlfriend you're also required to periodically visit her in order to maintain Carl's relationship status.
- That said, while you will receive the phone call from Sweet asking Carl to meet him at the Ammu-Nation (to launch the Doberman mission), there is no immediate need to go there.
- This mission also allows Carl to drive the C.R.A.S.H. team's police car which is parked in front of the store once the cutscene ends.
- While approaching the house, there is a Vagos member standing outside who appears to be talking on a cell phone. Upon closer inspection (using a camera or sniper rifle), the gang member is actually holding a pistol against his ear. This is because outside of cutscenes, Carl is the only character able to use a cell phone.
- If the player has a rocket launcher upon reaching the Vagos ganghouse they can blow up the windows of the house using the rocket launcher.

I'm not an artist. I'm certainly no where near many of the members' level of talent on here. I just use GIMP, but not very well. XD
Here's the base of my map (3,000 x 3,000): http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/6050/shadowyrm6.jpg
First, I painted black walls on a white canvas. Then -- obviously to those who know of it -- I used RobA's Subterrainian Map Prettier Script. After removing the square grid, I sandwiched a hex grid between the wall and floor layers (we play GURPS Fourth Edition, which uses hexes).
Then, I freehand drew the little elevation stairs all around and used the drop shadow filter on them.
That's it so far.
Eventually, I'll remove the wall texture and use filters to create my own with the help of the tutorial, "How to Blend Textures for Use in Battlemapping with GIMP."
Next, I'm going to add stalagmites everywhere. Then, I plan to blend in some dirt texture (created with filters) on the floor. Not sure exactly how I should do that, I just know one single texture for the whole floor is boring.
I'd love to add mist, but I've no idea how to even start with that or how well even an expert could pull it off.
Dramatic lightning would be great as well, but again, I'm a total newbie with little experience and no talent.
One thing I really want to accomplish is add water in the center room on the bottom "row" of rooms using only filters, no textures. Though I worked through a good tutorial once, I can't seem to get results that please me. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it! I want to add a pool of water to the north and south of the "bridge" in that room.
I might break down and add furniture and stuff, but I typically use minis to represent things like that. Also, I have no resources at all, rugs, tables, urns, boxes, books, piles of coins -- none of that stuff. I'd have to spend hours searching for it all.
Well, thanks so much for talking the time to read my post and look at my map! Advice is greatly appreciated, but remember, I barely know how to use GIMP at all!

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 16 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by JoeTraveler Good quality jacket This is a nice jacket. The quality of the material and fit is very good. The drape and hang of the jacket on my body is as good as I could expect. My interest in the coat was not for business, but for pleasure; looking for something that would look dressy when needed and also provide some warmth on cooler days/nights in Europe. I think it succeeds for these purposes. I have only worn it once on a trip so I can't speak to how it will hold up over extended travels. One key reason for my purchase (rather than traveling with my current sports coats) was the added security pocket system. In this regard, I would say the sport coat was good but fell below my expectations. Inside the jacket, there is only one zippered pocket; the other pockets are either a button or open pocket and small. I found the button pocket frustrating and difficult to use. There is also a zippered pocket on the outside of the coat plus two regular pockets. I will continue to travel with this jacket because it is a very nice garment, but I may seek out a seamstress to add zippers to the other inside pockets. February 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pierum Outstanding This blazer is an excellent value at an excellent price. December 29, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Umfundisi Meh!... The fit and features were fine, but I really did not like the appearance or feel of the fabric, which was more like hopsack rather a smooth weave. Also, while billed as "Navy," it was exceptionally dark — almost black. Alas, I returned the blazer and purchased a high-quality product from a competitor (and at a sale price of $80 less). However, if you still carried the "Even-Better World-Class Microfiber Sport Coat" in my size (42R) and color (Navy), I would have gotten that in a heartbeat. I've owned one of these for about seven years and I loved it (it was simply showing its age). I called your customer service line concerning this product and the representative explained that it appears to have been discontinued — inexplicable.... October 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Immunologist First-Class Blazer I have another travel blazer from Travel Smith (washable) and I love it. It has beat out my previous favorite Orvis, where the interior pockets just don't hold up to the wear and tear. So I decided to order a second Travel Smith blazer and opted for this one. It appears to be very nice, great fit. The weave of the fabric looks great and the interior lining has a travel print that I think is a nice touch, as is the extra security pocket in an unexpected location - very nice. One concern is that it is dry clean only. I love my washable wool varsity blazer with brass buttons.. And while I have only had it dry cleaned, I don't worry when I get caught in an unexpected rainstorm in Guangzhou. August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Army 46R Blazer Have had this coat for 15 years and decided time to buy a new one. Ordered the same size, but found the new one to be longer both in the sleeves and in length. Have sent it back after consulting with company, and will replace it with 46S. Discussed maybe changing to a 44R, but told the sleeve length and over all length does not change from 46 to 44.(?????) Not sure that makes sense. The difference between 44R and 44S I am told is 1.5 inches, so we will see if the exchange works. If not will again explore the difference between 44R & 46R, since I do really want this coat. January 22, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by TravelingGolfer Very Different from Photo! The pictures of this jacket make it look like a classic blue blazer. But in person it is nothing like one. It is made of very coarse material and has visible stitching around the collar and elsewhere that make it resemble a leisure suit from the 1970s. (If you're too young to remember leisure suits, just know that it's not a good thing.) I returned it instantly, which TravelSmith made reasonably simple. But I wasted a few bucks on shipping that I would not have spent had the picture looked like the coat. Very disappointing. December 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Catdaddy Poor choice: unattractive fabric--poor fit! I was hoping to replace my lovely but worn older Travelsmith size 40S blue travel blazer with a new one.....The new version has a different textured fabric unattractive as compared to the more classic smooth even fabric of the older model. The change in the fabric was not obvious in catalog photo. The fit was much too large to be a 40S, which size I have worn for years, and much bigger than my older 40S Travelsmith blazer! Quite disappointing! Will be returning! December 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by HarpethStation Solid For Travel - Hard for Office Very well designed and made for travel. Pockets are well placed, zippers recessed and not obvious. Fit is comfortable. Fabric seems like it will wear like iron. I'd give it a five if it had all this and had a soft drape fabric as with an office or social blazer. No doubt it will wear well, look good and be durable for travel. February 18, 2015

I like your continent shape a lot. And i for one am more for "towns as symbols" but i definitely want to see where the mountains, forests and rivers go etc. . Be that as it may, i am very much looking forward to what you will come up with.
(I'm not sure if I should keep all my related maps in the same topic or use different ones when they are parallel works. If I should join them up, just give me a heads-up and I'll delete the topic, merge them together and spend some good minutes thinking about what I've done!)
Hello again!
Some weeks ago, I made a map for a new setting I'm working on (directly related with this one: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...he-Holy-Empire). Initially it was supposed to be a quick thing intended for a roleplaying campaign I'm currently running, but as ideas started to pile up, I started thinking about making a more detailed version.
So today I had some spare hours and pressed the "Image Size: 500%" button and started working on it.
It is still on a very early stage, and I have to admit I'm really new at making properly detailed maps on Photoshop, so any advise or criticism is more than welcomed.
(click on the image to download the full map. 5mb)
So far I got the landmasses and some labbels for islands and some important water bodies. The plan is to use an abstract symbology for the features (such as drawing the mountains and key landmarks rather than using a more realistic look), although I'm not sure what would a proper balance be to avoid the map becoming too overloaded/hard to read. Should I draw only the larger features (mountains, hills, forests, etc) and leave stuff such as towns as symbols (dots, stars, etc), or would it be proper to draw some important towns as miniature icons (tiny castles and such) while leaving less important ones as tiny dots? I'm torn between trying to do a very detailed map in terms of information (with every single location labbeled and marked) and testing my hand at doing something more artistic.
What's your opinion?
Thanks beforehand for taking your time to check the map!

Still I reach out for the Stars
The continent does look nice. I think it depends on how many forests, mountains, etc there are in this region. If those are only going to cover 50% of the map then sure, go ahead and hand draw all the towns. Personally I would probably draw at least the larger cities as castles or something else to denote their prominence.
Those are some nice landmasses you have there. (Hey, that would make a good pickup line )
Seriously though, I like the colors and the shape of the continent so far.

Thanks for all the kind words. Much appreciated!
I just finished a climate overlay, intended to assist in the future drawing (since a lot of the world is yet to be developed!). I'm not very knowledgeable in weather patterns and such, so any help on improving it is more than welcomed.
The reason the climates run from left to right rather than up and down is because the world is flat and the sun is a burning disk being hauled by flaming titans. It used to traverse the sky across the diametre of the world, but after an ancient civilization attempted to catch it and accidentally dropped one of the titans onto the ground, the sun changed its course and now runs sort of tangentially across the right side of the map. Hope it ended up reasonably adapted!
You can click on the map to download the full-size version.
Nothing like a little tectonic innuendo to drag a conversation into the gutter!
Love the shape detail of the landmass and look forward to the future on this project. I torment myself with climate so I'm of little help in this case, LOL.
Thank you very much, Veldehar.
Please accept my apologies for the slow updates. It has been a crazy time at work (although of the good kind of crazy), and not having a fixed work schedule means *all* my hours are work schedule.
I'll hopefully get some progress done this weekend!
It looks good, and shaping up well. I'd just mention that I don't think the capital K's on your font are very well kerned and would benefit from some manual manipulation. Cough cough.
Well ... fixing the font is hard. Fortunately fixing the individual instances is a bit easier. The problem is with the font itself. "kerning" is basically the spacing of the individual glyphs and the capital "K" glyph has a long, descending right leg, which leaves an empty looking space between it and the next glyph. It would look far better if it was tucked closer to the next letter.
For example, it looks like it says K_arganat and K_inshar.
Unfortunately, aside from fiddling with the letter spacing settings in photoshop or gimp for the individual K glyphs, it's probably a waste of time worrying about it just for a map

48 U.S. Code § 1469a - Congressional declaration of policy respecting "Insular Areas"
prev | next
In order to minimize the burden caused by existing application and reporting procedures for certain grant-in-aid programs available to the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands (hereafter referred to as "Insular Areas") it is declared to be the policy of the Congress, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, that:
(a) Any department or agency of the Government of the United States which administers any Act of Congress which specifically provides for making grants to any Insular Area under which payments received may be used by such Insular Area only for certain specified purposes (other than direct payments to classes of individuals) may, acting through appropriate administrative authorities of such department or agency, consolidate any or all grants made to such area for any fiscal year or years.
(b) Any consolidated grant for any insular area shall not be less than the sum of all grants which such area would otherwise be entitled to receive for such year.
(c) The funds received under a consolidated grant shall be expended in furtherance of the programs and purposes authorized for any of the grants which are being consolidated, which are authorized under any of the Acts administered by the department or agency making the grant, and which would be applicable to grants for such programs and purposes in the absence of the consolidation, but the Insular Areas shall determine the proportion of the funds granted which shall be allocated to such programs and purposes.
(d) Each department or agency making grants-in-aid shall, by regulations published in the Federal Register, provide the method by which any Insular Area may submit
(i) a single application for a consolidated grant for any fiscal year period, but not more than one such application for a consolidated grant shall be required by any department or agency unless notice of such requirement is transmitted to the appropriate committees of the United States Congress together with a complete explanation of the necessity for requiring such additional applications and
(ii) a single report to such department or agency with respect to each such consolidated grant: Provided, That nothing in this paragraph shall preclude such department or agency from providing adequate procedures for accounting, auditing, evaluating, and reviewing any programs or activities receiving benefits from any consolidated grant.

I am quite exited to come back to long beach. It's a place that has threaded me very well in the past and want to keep that good momentum with Indycar.
We have the speed and the race pace, we are lacking in couple aspects which I believe we have already sorted out from previous races.
We've been very close to get into the top 6 in qualy and that's one of my objectives this weekend, but giving the team the first top 10 finish is our main focus. one of many this season

Topic: Heartburn
Brochure, Fact Sheet: GERD Questions and Answers501
By: Ronnie Fass, MD; Joel Richter, MD; Philip O. Katz, MD, FACP, FACG; J. Patrick Waring, MD; William F. Norton, Communications Director, IFFGD
This publication provides an in-depth overview of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) including information about the nature of GERD, how to recognize the disease, and how to treat it. Written in collaboration by IFFGD and physicians noted for their knowledge about GERD. Newly revised and updated 2010.
Also available offline as a glossy color brochure (3.5" x 8.5"). Contact IFFGD for details.
Fact Sheet: Understanding the Quality of Life Impact of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders205
Functional gastrointestinal (G) disorders significantly impact health related quality of life. This impact is obvious to anyone who has a disorder, or to any provider who cares for people with these disorders. In light of this finding, several medical organizations suggest that healthcare providers carefully monitor the health related quality of life of their patients in order to help guide treatment decisions. However, some studies indicate that many (but by no means all) providers do a poor job of addressing their patients' concerns, and accurately assessing the impact of functional GI disorder symptoms on their overall health status. Patients, in turn, become dissatisfied with their care. This article aims to help both provider and patient understand health related quality of life and improve patient care.Topics: Bowel urgency, Colonic motility, inertia, pseudo-obstruction, Constipation, difficult to pass stools, Gas, Bloating, Belching, Gastroparesis, Heartburn, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Pelvic floor disorders, Stomach Disorders, Working with your healthcare provider
Fact Sheet: Nocebo Effects: They can Impair Health Care215
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
The placebo effect can enhance therapy, and promote a successful relationship between healer and patient. However, a treatment administered by a healer may also have a bad effect. Any treatment may have a predictable risk, but a nocebo effect denotes worsening beyond the known risk – the adverse effect of a failed therapeutic relationship. This can result in sub-optimal health care. An examination of its causes and ways to avoid it are discussed.Topics: Bowel urgency, Heartburn, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Pain Management, Working with your healthcare provider
Fact Sheet: Getting the Most Out of Your Medications216
By: Information Adapted from FDA Publication FDA
All medications, prescription and over-the-counter (OTC), have benefits as well as risks associated with their use. The risks may include side effects, allergic reactions, and interactions with foods, drinks, or other drugs. You can increase the potential benefits and reduce potential risks by taking medications properly. It is estimated that up to half of all people who use medications do not use them as prescribed.Topics: Bowel urgency, Constipation, difficult to pass stools, GER, GERD, Heartburn, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Stomach Disorders
Fact Sheet: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Heartburn, Dyspepsia: Whats the Difference?226
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
The anatomical diseases Crohn's, peptic ulcer, and esophagitis have functional counterparts with some similar symptoms; irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), dyspepsia, and functional heartburn, but these cannot be identified by x-ray or gastroscopy. Thus, for the diagnosis of these functional disorders doctors must rely entirely upon the patient's description of his or her symptoms.Topics: Dyspepsia, pain in upper abdomen or chest, Esophageal Disorders, GER, GERD, Heartburn, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Other Disorders/Symptoms, Pain Management
Fact Sheet: Can Intense Exercise Lead to GI Symptoms?231
By: Thomas Puetz, MD
Can exercise be linked to GI symptoms such as diarrhea or heartburn? This article will help you understand how exercise and associated factors can influence the GI tract.
Fact Sheet: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease502
By: Cheri Smith, Medical Writer; Joel Richter, MD
Just about everyone has experienced heartburn, that uncomfortable, burning feeling in the chest after eating a large, spicy, or high fat meal. In fact, about 40 percent of Americans have heartburn once a month and 15–20 percent at least once a week. An occasional bout of heartburn is nothing to worry about; however, if it happens more than twice a week, a more serious condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, may be the problem.Topics: GER, GERD, Heartburn, Tests, upper GI tract
Fact Sheet: Upper GI Endoscopy: What to Expect503
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
Describes what to expect when undergoing an upper GI endoscopic exam that may look at the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Reviewed and updated 2009.Topics: Dyspepsia, pain in upper abdomen or chest, Esophageal Disorders, GER, GERD, Heartburn, Other Disorders/Symptoms, Tests, upper GI tract
Fact Sheet: Heartburn: Nothing to do with the Heart504
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest behind the breastbone. This article discusses simple heartburn and what you can do about it. Reviewed and updated 2009.Topics: Heartburn
Fact Sheet: Questions and Answers About PPI Medications and GERD512
Answers to these questions: What are the differences between the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)? What are the common medications that may affect the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)? Revised and updated 2012.
