I have been using Dropbox and in comparison, I have found it a better solution. Not only photos but my documents are all sorted out and I don't have to worry about tracking or organizing my files. For example, I take photos or receive documents via email and store those on in my Dropbox. It automatically syncs with my PC at home and whenever, I want to view or edit my files, I open my Dropbox files via GroupDocs document management solution and work on my files on the go. The whole process is just easy and less time consuming and I don't need to be on my PC all the time.
Amazon provides Dropbox alternative for Android users
The Dropbox automatic photo upload feature is a real blessing if you work with smartphones a lot. You take a picture or a screenshot and within seconds it appears on your PC's Dropbox folder, ready for use in your content management system, without any cables or other types of physical connection needed. Of course this also means your photos are safely and securely stored in the cloud. If your device is lost or stolen you'll at least have your valuable pictures. Google (via the Plus app) and Facebook (in its iOS app) is providing similar services.
With this latest update the Amazon Cloud Photos app has joined the ranks of apps capable of automatically uploading photos to the cloud. It comes with 5GB of free storage but more can be purchased, from 20GB for US$10 per year to 1000GB for US$500 per year).
By default images are uploaded automatically after they've been captured, but you can switch to manual upload if you only want to sync specific pictures or folders to the cloud. Wi-Fi only upload is also enabled by default, but those of you with an unlimited data plan can untick the box in the settings.
The new version also gains a camera button but it only serves to open any of the camera apps already installed on your device. It's also hidden in the settings menu which somehow limits its usefulness. Overall these updates make the Amazon app a viable alternative to Dropbox and the other solutions mentioned above but arguably a switch makes most sense for current users of the Amazon Cloud service.

Lake Travis was buzzing Friday night as the two top ranked teams in 4-A squared off in what could have been the state title game. Though Lake Travis was missing their star QB Michael Brewer and his favorite target, wideout Conner Floyd, the Lake Travis offense showed promise moving the ball early on as they jumped out to a 10-0 lead at one point in the first half. However, those would be the only points they scored as the Aledo defense pitched a shutout in the second half and used their ground attack to eat up the clock after obtaining the 14-10 lead.Aledo's prized running back Jonathon Gray had a quiet night statistically for his standards, but he came up big in the second half as he scored the go ahead touchdown on a 4th and 1 to make the score 14-10."On the 4th and 1, there was no doubt in my mind that we were going to get it into the end zone. We practice that all the time and Coach Buchanan always stresses the importance of 4th and 1 so I just ran with my head down and we got it," he said.Gray was a workhorse during the series as he carried the ball eight straight times until he found the end zone. While he never showed it on the field, he did admit that he was starting to feel the fatigue, but fought through it for the team."Well the whole offense was tired, but in the huddle I just said 'Hey ya'll, we got a chance to beat a Division I team. 'We just had to suck it up and get that touchdown."Aledo was able to find success with their running game in the second half, but for much of the first half, they seemed to struggle. Gray accounted their lack of success in the first half to mental errors."Well, we just keep plucking at yards. Every team that faces us is going to try and stop the run, and I just need to be patient as a running back and take what they give me," he said. "Then once they give it to you, you just have to take it and be a playmaker. First half we had to fight through some frustration. We were jumping offsides and moving when the defense moved, but we just needed to stay focused and keep pushing it." The Aledo Bearcats have played in big games before, but none may have been bigger than knocking off Lake Travis on the road and ending their 48-game winning streak. "Ah man, I'm just speechless right now. We came out here and they were talking about how we were the under dogs and how we couldn't beat Lake Travis, but we just let it go in one ear and out the other and we fought as a team and came out with the victory," Gray said.Gray finished the night with 31 carries for 145 and a touchdown. ...More...

Bowl practices have started at Ohio State and in addition to preparing for the Gator Bowl and getting some young players reps, these practices can serve as a valuable recruiting tool. Some of Ohio's top underclassmen were in Columbus on unofficial visits on Saturday morning to check out the bowl practice. Among the visitors was class of 2014 Galion (Ohio) athlete Dareian Watkins. The 6-foot-2, 184-pound prospect has been to Ohio State numerous times over the last few months and was eager to see his first college practice. "It was a lot of fun," said Watkins. "It was nice to see the difference between a high school practice and a college practice. The biggest change was that there is no down time, it just went from drill to drill to drill. It was all full speed the whole time, so that was a lot different than what I was used to." Watkins is being recruited as an athlete by most schools but does play quarterback for Galion so with that in mind, he paid extra close attention to that position group on Saturday morning. "I was watching the quarterbacks," he said. "I was watching Braxton (Miller) a lot. I watched him in the state championship game when he was at Wayne and he's like a total different player now. I think his mechanics have improved and in that game he was more of a runner but now he looks like he's a passer. He's probably my favorite player at Ohio State right now." While most of the coaching staff was busy running practice, Watkins did talk to a pair of staff member during his time on campus. "I talked to Mark Pantoni, the new recruiting coordinator and coach (Greg) Gillum," he said. "I already knew coach Gillum but coach Pantoni said it was nice to meet me and he was looking forward to talking to me." Though still early in the process for Watkins, the talented sophomore had been building a relationship with the previous coaching staff. The hire of Urban Meyer as head coach has done nothing to hurt the Buckeyes in his mind. "I think it's going to be a turning point in Ohio State's program," he said. "I think it's going to be back to how it was when Jim Tressel was there. Coach Meyer is known for winning and I think he's going to turn the Ohio State program back around. I'm not saying that coach (Luke) Fickell was a bad coach, this year really wasn't his fault, it's just this year wasn't really a good year for Ohio State and I think the next few years are going to be really good for Ohio State." Watkins enjoyed the practice so much that a second trip down to Columbus may be on the horizon. "I think we might be going to one more bowl practice (at Ohio State)," he said. "We're leaving next Friday to go to Florida for vacation so I think we're going to get to one more practice before going on vacation." During the winter, Watkins will put his focus on improving his skills on the football field as he has decided to give up his second sport. "This is the first year I haven't played basketball," he explained. "I'm just focusing on football. I've had so many ankle injuries in basketball that I don't want to worry about that being a factor. Right now I'm working with a couple of trainers on my speed and strength." Watkins added that he plans to camp at Ohio State and Georgia Tech in the summer.

Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler told a conservative audience Thursday that his critics really don't care about voter fraud and are "willing to lie" and "play the racism card."
Gessler, a Republican, made his comments during a panel discussion Thursday titled, "Stealing Elections: What the Left Doesn't Want You to Know About Voter Fraud," held at a gathering of the Conservative Political Action Conference in Denver. CPAC events regularly draw big names on the right, and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney even made a surprise visit Friday to the conference, held at a hotel near I-70 and Chambers Road.
The Spot Blog
- Read the inside scoop on Colorado politics and policies at blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/.
- Track state legislation with our Colorado Bill Tracker.
- Full political news coverage at denverpost.com/politics.
The secretary of state appeared on the voter fraud panel along with representatives of several conservative organizations, including True the Vote, a highly controversial group that styles itself as an elections integrity organization but which critics say uses voter intimidation tactics.
Gessler has come under fire for suggesting over a year ago that there were more than 11,000 noncitizens registered in Colorado but then only being able to identify recently 141 suspected non-citizens registered to vote. And of those, only 35 suspected noncitizens had actually voted in an election at some point.
At least one of those voters is a U.S. citizen.
Gessler, though, said he believes there are many more noncitizens and his search continues. He said those on the left just don't care if people are legally eligible to vote or not.
"They (the left) don't care if they (would-be voters) are non-citizens," he told hundreds in the audience. "They'll register them to vote, and if that noncitizen registers and then votes, they suffer serious consequences -- criminal prosecution, loss of the ability to ever become a citizen -- but the voter registration drive never suffers any of those consequences.
"So, I think they're very happy to manipulate people into believing it's OK to ignore these laws."
He added that the left tries to generate hatred, "to sort of manipulate people to get them angry against a make-believe enemy that doesn't exist in an effort to win votes, to demonize, frankly, people who are conservative and believe in limited government."
Gessler continued, "This is the tool they use, and of course the ultimate card they play is the racism card. And they are more than willing to lie to do this."
A spokeswoman for a coalition of voter rights groups that includes left-leaning groups like Common Cause and Colorado Ethics Watch said Gessler's comments were shocking.
"This guy is so bad, I don't even know what to say," Ellen Dumm said. "He has been so divisive from day one and so partisan. If this was a Democrat speaking to the ACLU and said something like that, it would be heresy -- he would be having a news conference in apoplexy."
Dumm added, "His make-believe enemy is noncitizens voting, and we haven't found one."

Grand Theft Auto V/Trailers
< Grand Theft Auto V
this wiki
This page covers all trailers released for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V.
Trailer #1
The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto V was released on November 2, 2011. The song used in the trailer was "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake" by Small Faces.
"Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather.
Or the... Ah I don't know, that thing. That magic.
You see it in the movies.
I wanted to retire. From what I was doing, you know?
From that, that... line of work. Be a good guy for once, a family man.
So, I bought a big house. Came here, put my feet up, and thought I'd be a dad like all the other dads.
My kids, would be like the kids on TV.
We could play ball and sit in the sun.
But well, you know how it is."
- ― Michael

|A man and women performing a yoga inside a luxury home.

|A sunset view of Muscle Sands gym.
|Two pedestrians, with a man walking down the street.

|Various street scenes in the city. Note the overhead power lines on the rasied wall, showing that there could be a subway line in GTA V, probrably based on the real life Metro Rail.
|A man hammering a "For Sale" sign in front of a house. A Boxville is passing by and a Futo can be seen in the driveway.
|Two hookers talking to someone in a car, possibly a Phoenix.

- At 1:05 A Police Car has the registration number OCT 25 on its front. This is a possible easter egg on the date of the announcement of the trailer. Before the Spring 2013 release announcement was made, many people believed it to be an easter egg for a release date of the game, as all GTA games (except GTA IV because of delay, and DLCs) have been released in October.

Rural residents in Central Kansas without a library in their taxing district have several options for library services.
- Residents can use public libraries in nearby towns because some public library funding for these libraries comes from the Central Kansas Library System. The Central Kansas Library System is funded from a mill levy of rural property in 16 counties of the CKLS region. Residents of Pawnee County do not pay a mill levy to CKLS.
- Central Kansas Library System provides two direct services residents living outside towns with libraries. People living inside towns with local libraries are not elegible for these two services.
- The Kansas Library Card provides easy access to online resources. Any Kansas public, school or college library can issue a Kansas Library Card. Kansans who live in the CKLS region, but not in a town with a library, can obtain cards from the Resource Sharing and Access Department at 800-362-2642.
- eBooks and Downloadable Audiobooks
- Ask a Librarian
- Large Print Lending Collection is also available for those who qualify.

What she says today (Part Two)
Click here to watch the second part of Kay Quinn's story interviewing Paula Sims, the first interview since the murders.
The case of Andrea Yates shocked the country when the Texas woman was arrested for drowning her five children in a bathtub in 2001. Seventeen years ago, it was the case of another mother who admitted to killing her infant daughters that shocked the St. Louis area and the nation.
Paula Sims of Alton, Ill., confessed to murdering 13-day-old Loralei in 1986 and six-week-old Heather in 1989.
Sims is talking on camera for the first time about what happened to her daughters and what led her to kill them.
The story of Paula Sims was so unusual because she claimed a masked gunman had kidnapped her daughter Loralei from her home near Brighton, Ill., in June of 1986. Three years later, she told the same story again when her daughter Heather disappeared.
The public first heard the name Paula Sims in the summer of 1986. On the night of June 17, Jersey County Sheriff's deputies were called to the home she shared with her husband Robert for a report of a child abduction.
Paula Sims told police her husband was at work when a masked gunman came into her basement, told her to lie on the floor, took Loralei and fled.
"He was going to kill me. I was just in such shock I didn't know he was going to take my baby from me. I didn't know what... when he said he was going to kill me, I just did what he said," said Paula in the hours following the alleged abduction.
Police launched a massive search. Reporters broadcast descriptions of Loralei and the abductor. Sims and her husband volunteered to take lie detector tests.
"It was it was a normal type of dealing with a crime of this fashion, and we passed it with flying colors that would absolutely clear any doubts in their minds of our character," said Robert Sims following the tests in 1986.
But Jersey County authorities had different results.
"According to the polygraph examiner, all of those questions were answered by them not truthfully," said Jersey County Sheriff Frank Yocum.
Ten days later, the skeletal remains of an infant were found about 150 feet behind the Sims' home. Medical experts said they were 97 percent sure it was Loralei. The cause of death was never determined. No one was ever charged.
Three years later, on April 29, 1989, police were called to the Sims' home in Alton. It had happened again.
Paula said while her husband was at work, a masked gunman knocked her unconscious as she was taking out the trash and took her six week old daughter Heather. The Sims' 15-month-old son was unharmed.
Four days later, Heather's body was found in a trash can in a parking lot near the Mississippi River in West Alton.
"The cause of death was listed as asphyxiation. The focus of the investigation is now leaning towards the parents," said Alton Police Sergeant Rick McCain.
Crowds gathered in front of the Sims' home. Paula and Robert stayed away. Police broke into their Alton house to carry out search warrants.
Then came allegations the Sims didn't want girls. Paula's hospital roommate said the Sims were disappointed when Loralei was born.
Heather was buried and Paula Sims was charged in connection with the death of her first daughter Loralei. Two months later, she was indicted for the murder of Heather. Sims confessed to killing both babies in 1990, after a jury found her guilty in Heather's murder.
Sims has been an inmate at the Dwight Correctional Center in northern Illinois for 16 years.
For the first time ever, she agreed to talk not only about her daughters but what led her to kill them.
Sims filed a petition for clemency in late July. Her petition was presented to the Illinois Prisoner Review Board in mid-October and is now on its way to the desk of Governor Rod Blagojevich.
She agreed to the interview on several conditions: that she not be asked about her ex-husband and her son, that the questions center around the topic of postpartum depression and that she would not have to talk about what happened the night her infant daughters died.
Paula Sims said it was postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis that led her to murder her daughters.
"I just want to bring awareness (and) let people know this is real and I'm not some monster. I can't change that, if someone thinks I'm a monster. I know I'm not. I know I'm a good person and I know I'm being punished for being mentally ill," said Sims.
"The guilt, I'm tormented still to this day by what I did," said Sims. "I loved my daughters, I love all of my children and I know I've been forgiven by God and I'm still trying to forgive myself."
It's been almost 17 years since she confessed to killing her infant daughters in her own home. She confessed to killing 13-day-old Loralei on June 17, 1986. She said she killed six week old Heather on April 29, 1989.
"I love Loralei very much and I still do," said Sims. "I miss her and I think about her every day. I think about Heather.
"I miss my children. I had wonderful dreams and if they were alive today, Loralei would be 20 and Heather would be 17 and they would be pursuing their dreams.
"I'm so sorry for everything that's happened, all of the pain I've caused everybody. My daughters are the true victims here."
A few weeks after Heather's death, Sims was charged with murdering Heather and implicated in Loralei's death. In February of 1990, she was found guilty at trial and confessed to the murders.
In prison, Paula Sims says she heard about postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. After talking with a mental health profession, she now believes the diseases drove her to kill.
"I'm not trying to make no excuses here," said Sims. "A lot of women have been through worse than what I've been through and they don't do something like this. So I'm a weak woman, what can I say."
Sims says she started hearing voices right after Loralei was born on June 5, 1986. Loralei was killed 13 days later.
Sims said she did not want to talk about that day.
But while Sims doesn't want to talk about how she killed her daughters, she does go into detail about how she says she was feeling at the time of Loralei's birth.
"I was afraid to say anything to anyone. I was ashamed when I started having bad thoughts and I was confused. It was difficult for me because I was such a private person to tell someone that I was having a bad thought about harming my baby," said Sims.
Sims said the symptoms were similar but more intense after Heather was born.
"I was so weak," said Sims. "I hadn't ate in probably two weeks. Not only had it got me emotionally it had got me physically and I kept fighting and fighting the voices.
"I talked to the voices just like I talk to you right now. I paced around the house, drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana, smoking a cigarette and telling them to leave me alone. I wasn't going to do it. I didn't want to do it, just leave me alone.
"I loved her I didn't want to hurt her and the voices would then leave me alone because they didn't have me where they wanted me at. They'd back off because I wasn't going to do it, I wasn't going to do it again. I never wanted to do it the first time, so the voices backed off."
She says she tried to tell those closest to her, but for various reasons wasn't able to.
"I didn't tell them the thoughts I was having with Heather because the voices told me then what about Loralei? You're getting ready to expose yourself. I had that dark secret that I planned on taking to my grave. I planned on taking what I did to Heather to my grave."
Sims also said she can't explain how she was hearing and seeing things that weren't there, yet was able to conceal the bodies of her daughters, and the fact that she was responsible for their deaths.
"I really don't want to get into that. I don't have the words for it. I am really not an elegant speaker and when I get emotional, I just can't put it into words... not for it to flow good. I'm just not good at things like this."
Sims said she heard the term postpartum depression for the first time during her trial, and learned more about the illness while in prison. But she denies using it as a last-ditch effort for clemency. And she said she's not copying the case of Andrea Yates, the Texas mother found not guilty by reason of insanity in the murders of her children.
"I confessed in 1990 when all was said and done, you know, even though I didn't know what was wrong with me. I said I did it, I was crazy that's the only way I could describe it," said Sims.
Sims and her attorney have petitioned Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich for clemency, asking that she be released because she was mentally ill when she murdered her daughters.
That petition should arrive on the governor's desk in the next 60 days. Sims said if she's not granted clemency she'll go on with her life in prison.
She said she feels blessed and she also feels compelled to educate other women about postpartum depression and psychosis.
Part Two
Paula Sims told me it wasn't until after she began her life sentence she came to believe postpartum psychosis led her to kill her daughters.
In an interview at the Dwight Correctional Center in Illinois, Sims talked about the story she told not once, but twice.
In June 1986, she claimed a masked kidnapper took her daughter Loralei. The baby's body was found in woods behind her home days later.
Then in April 1989, Sims told the same story after the disappearance of six-week-old Heather. Both times, she says she heard voices telling her to kill.
Sims said she didn't talk about the voices on the witness stand because she was in serious denial still believing hallucinations of a masked gunman stealing her babies.
"It would come to me that I would see a flash in my mind that I did something, then I'd push it back say, 'No I didn't, I couldn't have, I loved her I would never hurt her,'" said Sims.
Sims is now asking Ill. Governor Rod Blagojevich to grant her clemency and let her out of prison because she was mentally ill at the time she murdered her daughters.
She said in the weeks and months leading to her trial in 1990, she and her attorney Don Groshong never discussed postpartum depression or postpartum psychosis as a possible defense.
"My attorney said all I needed to do was keep my mouth shut, he was going to get me out of this mess," said Sims. "It didn't matter to him whether I was innocent or guilty. So that's what I did and I tried to deal with what was going on inside of me."
Sims said in an appeal, Groshong said the defense team had considered and researched discussing postpartum depression as a motive during the trial.
Sims was asked if the reason Groshong didn't discuss postpartum is because she insisted she was innocent.
"He never asked me. He never had a psychologist or a psychiatrist evaluate me, so I'll never know if I would have been asked that what would have happened.
"I believed my hallucinations. I heard voices telling me to do this. I argued with the voices with Loralei, it really happened quick. But with Heather I fought and fought for six weeks and I thought we were going to make it, I just knew we were going to make it. Obviously we didn't."
Sims was then asked what led her to confess to the murders.
"I really don't know. I guess I finally had a breakthrough that I did this. It was over, I was convicted. I'd fought a hard fight, and I was able to finally say it out of my mouth. I did this. And at that time, I wanted death. I wanted them to put me to death and I really felt they (were) going to do it the next day.
"The jury said no, so and actually it's really more punishment to be in prison for the rest of your life. Because then that way you're reminded every day, there's not a day that goes by that I'm not reminded about this. I think about my daughters every day."
Sims' first psychiatric exam was done when she arrived at the prison in Dwight. A psychologist who specializes in women's reproductive mental health says because Sims didn't receive a mental evaluation at the time of the murders, no one will ever know for sure whether she was mentally ill when she killed her daughters.
"I asked for everybody's forgiveness that I could because I know I've done a terrible thing here. I'm not trying to make no excuses you know, just trying to prove a point and trying to save lives. Save another woman from coming up here and being called a baby killer, as if she doesn't have enough to deal with," said Sims.
"My daughters are the true victims here and they're on a long list of victims. This continues to happen to women and I want to speak out, make a difference. Let my voice be heard. It's long overdue and God has given me the strength to do this today." Said Sims.
Sims' attorney Jed Stone said she shouldn't continue to be punished for being mentally ill.
Don Weber, the Madison County state's attorney who prosecuted Sims, is now a judge in Madison County. He said he doesn't believe Sims was mentally ill.
Don Groshong declined to be interviewed for this story.
Sims said she's asking for clemency because she promised her mother, who is now deceased, that she would.
"I promised my mother I would do everything I could to try to get some relief. When she was dying, she asked me not to give up, so that's why I filed the clemency. I went through all the legal process; I've got no relief, trying to find some justice trying to find some mercy," said Sims.
Sims was asked what she believes will happen with her clemency request and if Blagojevich will grant her clemency.
"It's up to him. A lot of my supporters believe I should be released. Of course my attorneys, my psychologist, the people who truly love me and who believe in me, and know that I was mentally ill and didn't mean to do this -- didn't want to do this.
"So ultimately, it's up to the governor and the prisoner review board and God. I put this in his hands, I've placed it in his hands. He knows what's best. He knows everything. He knows I'm telling the truth."

A suspect remains on the loose hours after shooting a man in a convenience store parking lot.
According to Springs police, the suspect was sitting in a parked car outside the 7-Eleven at 3805 E. Pikes Peak just before midnight when the victim pulled up next to him. Just seconds later, the victim began backing out, then jumped out of his car and started running away. The suspect fired several shots at him, striking the victim in the leg.
Police found the victim by the nearby Woody's Bar and Grill. The suspect had already left the area in a 4-door sedan with at least two other men inside. Suspect descriptions are not being released at this time.
The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call police at 444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

OH, WOW! This is an easy place to keep as busy as you want to be.
The Playground, known as Toto's Treehouse, is nice with its top deck up in the treetops with a picnic table and benches, as well as a slide that lands in noisy little pebbles, a tire swing, a bench swing and a clatter bridge too. We challenge you to find out who Toto was (someone besides Dorothy's dog).Parents can relax while their little ones exercise both their bodies and their imaginations!
If you want to swim, Ross' Teal Lake Lodge has two options for you, an outdoor heated swimming pool and the quiet waters of Teal Lake.
The heated outdoor Swimming Pool is located near the Main Lodge. The enclosed pool area is big enough (65' corner to corner) for sunbathing, while others splash in the shallow end (about 20' x 20') without getting too deep and disturbing bigger folk (deep end also about 20' x 20'). It is an older model swimming pool, the shallow end has steps into it and then goes immediately to 3 ft, and it then gradually deepens all the way to 9 feet deep. Works well for multiple ages at the same time. The pool temperature is kept near 80 degrees. During the summer it is not uncommon to hear a game of "Marco polo" come drifting down the hill, then see teenagers running from the pool to the lake. POOL opens and is heated for swimmers the first day of Summer rates (usually June 20th-ish). It stays at a warm 80 degrees till Labor Day when it goes to sleep till next summer.
Teal Lake is wonderful swimming. The water is a comfortable temperature (65 degrees) usually by mid June, gets warmer in the summer usually up to mid 70's, which lasts into September. You can choose to swim off our Main Dock or from off your cabin dock.
There is an open Beach Area but the sand is a bit pebbly. We hauled in sand for seventy years, but they won't let us do that any more. It is nice and deep for sand castle building. The enclosed shallow swimming area is nice and sandy under your feet and is protected by the Main Dock. The Main dock is also good for fishing while someone else loves the sun bathing or reading a good book on one of the benches. Bigger kids love to swim away from the Main Dock out to the diving dock - its big enough for lots of kids, and nobody can hear what you are talking about!
Fishing is probably the favorite thing for kids. You can be in a boat, or you can fish off the dock The fish are all over the place, under the dock and in the weeds at the side. You don't only find them only in the middle. Remember your life jacket, of course, on the dock as well as in the boat. We can find a guide to teach you if you have not done it before, or if it is hard to sit still in a boat a long time your parents may want to take the family out with fishing school, where a guide takes you in his boat for two hours. Once you learn a little about fishing, and get a bit bigger, you can fish in the river, or on the lake, off the shore by your home here, or off one of the big docks. You'll probably catch little ones, but when the big fish need to eat, they eat the little fish so sometimes they eat the little one that is on your line. If that happens, just yell for help.........! There's always someone near to help you.
The Harbor Club has a huge recreation room with a little people size pool table as well as the big people's pool table, it has video machines and pinball. We even have lovely old metal milking cans to raise the little ones up enough to play and to kick! Th Harbor Club has a sturdy ping pong table (yes, sturdy because one day they put the dog on it, and so they had to replace the legs to withstand anything that kids can do playing chinese pingpong). It has an old grand piano for you to practice if mum insists, or just to play for fun. It has a table to do a zigsaw puzzle, and a couch for everyone to just lounge. It has a rocking horse, and a wagon full of blocks. This is for all kids to play - big kids like Dad too. This is a big RAINY DAY ROOM to run and scream and jump safely without anybody objecting!
Trikes and bikes and wagons are an untidy mess in the front yard, but they are for anyone. You can ride them while waiting for parents to have their last cup of coffee after breakfast, or you can ride them back to your guest home. Just bring them back when you are finished enjoying them, as they are for everyone - but there's about twenty of them, from little bikes, to big sturdy John Deere green tricycles (yes, built as sturdy as a tractor!) and double tandem bikes for giggly honeymooners, strong teenagers and parents who want to help you ride. This is not a fussy place - all this is just here for kids to enjoy, but remember to bring your own helmets and other safety equipment.
The boats without motors are fun - there are rowboats, canoes, sailboat, hydro-bikes. You must sign these out in the office and get a lifejacket of course. To run the motor boats, the law in Wisconsin says you must be ....? or have passed your Wis. or home state boating safety course - but your parents will know about it, and if you are qualified, there are plenty of boats here, including three big pontoon boats to keep the little ones safely contained but to allow them freedom to ramble.
The golf course is also a place for you to have fun. Not on your own, of course, but you will not need to be left home with a babysitter when your parents play. Family golf is encouraged after 11 am. and there is special pricing to encourage your parents to take you out and get you started. Or if you are too young to play yet, we have special four-seater golf carts so you can ride along with those who are playing - we call these the "Surreys" (did you ever watch Oklahoma?) and if you are real little, tell them to take your car seat and we can find some yellow boat rope and strap you in safely in the back seat for a nap while they play - that's the best of all possible worlds on vacation! If you are old enough to begin playing, ask the golf pro for a little putter just your size, or a whole special set of kids clubs for rent. ( shhh... secret ... if you are on the golf very late in the day, around 6 pm it is wonderful frog catching around the bridges and swamps - if you remembered to get a net and a bucket from the Lodge before you went out).
The driving range at the golf club is a great place for kids to learn to swing a club. This driving range is only for those before they go golfing, or for those staying at the resort. You must check in with the golf pro, but it is only a little bit of money for a bucket if you are not playing. It is fun to hit a bucket of balls in the afternoon or evening - see how far they go or where they land. It takes a lot of balls to become a good golfer.
Babysitters are sometimes needed in spite of all the fun. Adults can go and have their own fun, or go to dinner here at the resort or elsewhere. Or maybe they want to play golf seriously, with just other adults or your big brothers or sisters, or go with a fishing guide and catch a fish as big as you. We have lots and lots of nice babysitters, boys and girls. Many of them come from Europe, places like Poland, to work here so they can perfect their English. They have new ideas and new games. They can always go to the office if there is any problem. So, for just a nap, or an evening, or during the day, the babysitters will be nice people. Have them ask us in advance, if possible, not at the last minute!
Badminton is a favorite game with all ages. It is a big court, with a high net and a funny lightweight raquet that you have to hit with a lot of gusto (but doesn't hurt if you hit some else by mistake). Instead of ball you play with a silly thing with fake feathers, called a birdie. You can try to get it stuck in a tree, or up on the roof as well as over the net. There is also shuffleboard.
Lastly, let me tell you about the dogs. There are three big friendly labradors that live here, who get so bored in the winter when there are not enough kids around. In the summer they love to play with you, and visit with you and walk with you back to your home. Some kids just roll on the floor or the grass with the world's biggest live teddy bears! Now, don't feed them too much. If they think you are teasing them, they might want to eat too quickly, so talk to the people in the office first. Some people who don't have dogs at home, even go to the store and buy a box of dog biscuits, because they know this food is good for them. If you have your own pets who do not like to be left at home, you can bring them with you too.
We have lots of visiting dogs too as well as kids, and sometimes we even get visiting birds, rats, cats and gerbils. Just tell us before you come you are bringing them.
WHEN YOU LEAVE TEAL LAKE, there are things for kids to do in Hayward too - like a fish museum, a petting zoo, a go cart track, and mini-golf. But most people don't leave here much - there is so much to do here!

Your Trappy Thing, of course, reminds of an old D&D mission almost 20 years ago. Our stellar thief was about half-way down the heavily trapped stairs carefully identifying and unsetting the traps as he went down - a half hour in real time with multiple rolls for every step.
Our half-orc fighter (and most disruptive member of the party) was getting really impatient. He yelled out, "Grab one of them Drow we just killed." He cut off its head. Carried it over to the top of stairs and like a bowler roll the head down so it would hit every step going down.
It killed the thief, but all the traps were undone, and our fighter just chuckled going down the stair. He knew the cleric in the party had a Ressurrection scroll on him.
He doesn't play with us anymore.
Ravs, glad you're giving it a go!

Cheers guys, GP that's a brilliant story! There are already some fantastic entries in the comp, so I think I'll probably be making up the numbers on this one, but it's great for some old fashioned fun!
Go Ravs! Glad to see you jumping in.

Major change of plan - the scale of the map (1 inch : 3 feet) means that to get it to fit on a reasonable size of paper, there's not an awful lot of square footage. I've ditched the dungeon o' death and gone for a Cthullu type jobbie. Anyway, here it is, C&Cs appreciated as always.

Wow, that is quite a change. And may I say: WOW, you guys are getting good at this stuff. I am really impressed by your latest work. I like the black & white feel, although I would also like to see a version where the tomb itself is colored. I really like the layout of the tomb and the textures and props you used.
Some text suggestions:
First paragraph:
- the first sentence is too long. You should probably break it up.
- "none" should be "noone" I think.
Second paragraph:
- "demenour" should be "demeanour" I think.
Third paragraph:
- end the first sentence after "hunting accident"
Sorry, but sometimes the editor in me breaks loose...

Nice work Ravs!

Thanks guys, have to say, I don't like mapping at this scale at all. It's really dependent on getting nice objects to scatter about and as you can't borrow other people's for this comp, I find making them a pain - even really simple ones.
Ganwarf thanks for the edits and suggestion re the colour. I've put in a splash of colour to draw attention to the pentangle - too much?
I think this is looking pretty cool, too, and I like the B&W a lot. The stairs seem a bit large in proportion to the rest of the parts, but perhaps they're supposed to be!
And if we're breaking out editors, "none" is fine, but "Noone" is only good if you're perhaps referring to the Peter version. "No one" would also work.

Going on a Pumpkin Hunt...
This is a really cute story. I love all the rhyming and descriptive words it uses. After we read this story I thought it would be fun to go on our very own pumpkin hunt. So while Luke was at preschool I printed and cut out 32 paper pumpkins. Half were perfect plumply, dumply pumpkins and half were lumpy, bumpy pumpkins. I was lucky enough to get my printable from "The Mailbox Magazine" but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to draw some up yourself.
Then I hid 30 of the pumpkins outside in the backyard all over the place. (I held out 1 kind of each pumpkin & I'll show you why in a minute.) My excitement level felt like we were about to have an Easter Egg Hunt. hahahaha And you should have seen how excited my boys were! I gave them their Halloween candy sack to hold all the pumpkins they found and after a 1...2...3...GO! They were off searching for pumpkins.
I tried to get some decent pictures but it all went down so fast....But trust me, it was crazy fun, even for my First Grader who is currently off track from school.
After finding all the pumpkins we came inside and counted them to make sure we got them all. Also, so Luke could practice his counting. Then we practiced making different patterns with the pumpkins. I made some light orange and some dark orange on purpose so there were more possibilities for patterning. You can see in the picture below the difference in the lumpy, bumpy pumpkins and the plumply, dumply pumpkins. (I know it's a tongue twister, you should totally try saying it 10 times really fast!)
Last we sorted our pumpkins. Prior to the pumpkin hunt I attached one of each kind of pumpkin to the front of an empty shoe box. This is why I only hid 30 of the pumpkins outside. The boys took turns sorting all of their pumpkins into the appropriate bin.
This was such a fun activity! After we were all finished the boys wanted me to go hide the pumpkins outside all over again. LOL! And we couldn't end our Pumpkin Hunt without getting a treat so we made these super fun rice crispy treat pumpkins that I had pinned on Pinterest.
Now mine weren't as picture perfect as the one's on Pinterest, but trust me, they sure tasted perfect! hahaha! I ended up using one of those plastic containers that holds fruit to form my pumpkins. They weren't round on the bottom but that's ok, the boys didn't notice. :)
I also warmed my tootsie rolls up at 50% power in the microwave for 8 seconds before putting them on. It made them just the right amount of softness to put on the crispy treats. How do I know only 8 seconds and 50% power? Well, lets just say there were a couple times I ended up with a hot melted mess of tootsie rolls in my bowl. hee hee
We have really enjoyed our Pumpkin Week. I have one more fun pumpkin art project coming your way the first part of next week but first I'm taking a much needed break off the grid for a loooong weekend. Ok, it's not really off the grid, but pretty much. haha!
Hope you have a great weekend and Happy Crafting!!
Linking up to THESE great parties.

1. Avoid the sophomore slump.
It might be harder to do than it seems. You're not a freshman anymore, so the pressure's off. You know your way around; you know who your friends are. You're way more comfortable this year, and there's so much college ahead of you, you might feel like it's all right to relax. But it's not. Sophomore year counts for something, too. Though you're not yet an upperclassman, in a very short time you will be. Then, it's out the door and onto the real world, with a GPA that reflects your efforts sophomore year as well as all of the other ones. Bottom line: it's great that the anxiety of being new is over with, but some pressure to succeed is okay.
2. Don't recede into the background.
Maybe you're not as comfortable as some of your classmates, even though you are a returning student. Sophomore year can be especially tough. Historically, the sophomore class is the one that gets the least attention. You're not new; you're not about to graduate. The conventional wisdom seems that for the moment, you're okay. But what if you're not? If you're still having trouble adjusting, you should talk to someone, your resident adviser, perhaps. Try an extracurricular activity you didn't last year. There's still plenty of time to have a great college experience.
3. See your academic adviser.
Having an appointment with your academic adviser may help you rekindle a feeling of focus. The two of you can talk about your options for your major course of study, and the rest of college as well. If you feel yourself slacking off, tell your academic adviser you need a motivational speech.
4. Take choosing your major seriously.
Though picking a major does not lock you into a life lived within the confines of the subject area you pick, it will affect you in the job market.
5. Go to the Career Counseling Center.
A visit to the Career Counseling Center might help clarify what major you should pick. Make an appointment to talk to a career counselor, discuss what types of careers are available and appealing to you. This might help you decide on a course of study.
6. Consider an internship or volunteer opportunity.
The more real-world experience and exposure you've had to the industry or field of your choice, the better when it comes to applying to jobs after graduation. You might talk to your career counselor about what opportunities exist, or email an alum in a field that interests you and volunteer yourself.
7. Make plans for your summer.
8. Consider a term abroad or on exchange next year.
9. Do take that fun elective you've been eyeing in the course catalog.
10. Make time for fun with friends.

Indian army spokesman Naresh Vig says the fighting began on Monday after soldiers intercepted some militants crossing into a northern part of Indian-held Kashmir from the Pakistani side.
Vig said Friday that rebels also made attempts to cross into the Indian side at three other places in remote and mountainous northern Kashmir leading to fierce gunbattles with the army.
There was no independent confirmation of the fighting.
More than 68,000 people have been killed in the conflict since 1989.
The rebel groups have largely been suppressed by Indian troops in recent years, and resistance is now principally expressed through street protests.

Las Brujas
this wiki
Las Brujas is a small ghost town nestled between the Sherman Dam, Arco del Oeste and El Castillo del Diablo in Bone County, San Andreas. Also near the area are Area 69, Regular Tom and Verdant Meadows. The name Las Brujas translates directly from Spanish as The Witches or The Sorceresses. The town is depicted as a two-street settlement populated by predominantly wooden buildings, appearing similar to a frontier town in the Wild West. In addition to the standard fare of (now empty) homes and businesses, the town also features a windmill and a modest wooden chapel, complete with a fenced-in cemetery containing tombstones in the rear.
There are no functional facilities servicing this area and none of the buildings are occupied, except during missions for Mike Toreno (Interdiction) and Frank Tenpenny (High Noon). In addition, the advertisement of Spittoon, a television program in Grand Theft Auto IV, is shot at Las Brujas.
- Since the ghost town has operating garage doors and is near the Sherman Dam, the town could possibly be in the process of being preserved.
- If the player drives a vehicle near the entrance of the cemetery, a wheel may occasionally slip down a shallow hole; it is most likely the grave Carl dug in the mission High Noon. It can be seen in this image to the right, appearing in a triangular form behind the old chapel.
- There is a reference to its English name on the ambulance or police radio. Occasionally the player may hear "We got some crazy oId lady in Las Brujas. She claims she's a witch or something."
- The town may be based off a similiar ghost town in California named Bodie.
- A plane may crash into one of the rocks (due to the fact that 'ghost town' is nearly closed from all sides) and crash.
