Jupiter's hues were not bombastic, like last night, but they were there. Also, the real lack of large swaths of color for comparison made the chore more difficult. That's okay, though, it just meant trying harder. So, here's my best attempt at it.
The SEB is particularly interesting. It did seem lined on both edges by "not brown" hues. The southern edge appeared to be pretty dark, maybe dark gray. It seemed to stretch the length of the belt in varying shades. Across the northern edge, well, it was a bit lighter. In fact, maybe blue-gray. Interestingly, I got some flashes of festoon blue, too. Weird.
Anyway, one thing stunned me were some tiny protrusions popping north into the south EZ. They very faintly hinted blue. Truthfully, not sure they are really there or how many, but I am reasonably confident I saw about three.
Oh, two white ovals tonight. The first one, closest to the meridian is A6, I believe, the one trailing would be A7. Not easy, but they did pop a few times. Also, EWS A/B was pretty apparent along the northern NEB near the trailing limb.
Speaking of the NEB, the rifts were pretty nice. ONe seemed to have a bright knot in it (seen at 240x.) A few gray clouds and some darker brown albedo. The NEB and the SEB appeared basically the same general brownish hue. The NEB was less saturated, weaker tones generally. At times, the NEB has an eerie ruddy glow, other times not. I suspect it's either transparency on different nights or actual changes in hue in different parts of the belt.
The EB was quite prominent, broken, and appeared molted. The festoons were only slightly dark blue-ish. There was some weaker blue hues riding over top of each. No real wisps seen. But, one massivly bright white feature was nestled against the festoon on the meridian and even cut north into the NEB.
The EZ north was generally more Tawney than the EZ south. Same with the STrZ, it was light gray while the STZ was pretty much white. At least a streak of white running along the SSTB. The STB was seen pretty much across the disc with the trailing portion more prominent.
Both northern and southern regions showed some darker and lighter albedo. No real belt seen in the north. I did observe Jupiter for another hour trying to confirm the colors shown.
Many details were pretty easy, however a lot of features seen popped occasionally and took a good long time to tease out. That's part of the challenge, part of the fun, it's the reward. Nope, not boring at all. Plenty to see tonight and a great exercise in trying to really see more color.
Seeing 8/10, transparency 3 to 4/5. Sketch was done at 174x OU HD 18mm Ortho and Celestron 1.6X Shorty. CM I ~155 and CM II ~ 2 degrees.

Acamar was the primary of the inhabited Acamar system. The planet Acamar III was the homeworld for the Acamarians, a warp capable humanoid species. (TNG: "The Vengeance Factor")
According to the script, the pronunciation for Acamar was "AWK-uh-mar". [1]
Star Trek: Star Charts
Acamar (Theta Eridani): This was a binary star system. Acamar A was an A-class star with a magnitude of -1, which was a hundred times times brighter than Sol. Acamar B was an A-class star. The system was located in or near Federation space, in the Beta Quadrant. (page 56)
Acamar (Theta Eridani) was located 50-60 light years from Sol. [2]
This star was mentioned as a destination in Pocket TOS: The Wounded Sky, and (with the "Theta Eridani" name) in Marvel TOS: Experiment in Vengeance! where the second planet in this system had a moon named Mycena. Neither of these depicted the existence of the native Acamarian civilization on the third planet.

Maine hospital officials, not suprisingly, welcomed Gov. Paul LePage's plan to pay them nearly $200 million in outstanding debt, which will trigger about a $300 million federal match. It amounts to almost half a billion dollars in past due payments that date back to 2009. And as Patty Wight reports, the debt has cost hospitals more than just the amount owed.
The hospital with the largest unpaid bill is Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, at $76 million. The debt has grown over the course of four years, and Chief Financial Officer Mer Doucette offers this analogy to describe the situation:
"If you're working and you're getting paid and your employer says, 'I can't pay you the full amount I owe you this week, I'm just going to have to defer that and you'll have to accept that lowered amount and at some future date I will pay you the balance.'"
Doucette says because the state paid only two-thirds of what was owed, the hospital was forced to hold off on capital improvement projects and delay paying local vendors. It's a story shared by many Maine hospitals, including Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, which is owed $50 million. Spokesman Chuck Gill says CMMC, like other hospitals, had to take out a line of credit to help pay the bills.
"So not only have we had to pay interest when we borrow money, but, you know, $50 million - that's $3 million a year in lost interest, so we're losing money all the way around on this," Gill says. "And also, we see a lot of cuts coming at the federal level, so we need the resources to manage through all these drastic changes going through on health care."
This hospital debt problem goes back years, and it's tied to Medicaid reimbursements. The state used to pay a flat fee to hospitals every week based on their projected number of Medicaid patients, settling any differences at the end of the year.
But when the state expanded Medicaid in the mid 2000s, it didn't increase weekly payments enough to match the new patient load, and it also failed to settle up at the end of the year. Two years ago, hospitals got a minor reprieve when Gov. LePage paid off part of the debt.
"If he hadn't taken that step, then frankly we'd be in the same diffcult position that a lot of hospitals in northern and eastern Maine are today," says Frank McGinty, executive vice president of Maine Health, which has nine member hospitals, including Maine Medical Center in Portland.
All told, Maine Health is owed $155 million. McGinty says Gov. LePage has stemmed further hospital debt by changing to a pay-as-you-go reimbursement model. Paying off the existing debt, McGinty says, will be good for the entire state, not just the hospitals.
"I understand that the rating agencies have now again clearly stated that the failure of the MaineCare program to fulfill its obligation to hospitals puts a cloud over the state's debt rating," McGinty says. "So solving this problem is good for hospitals, to be sure good for our patients, but also good for the state itself and for all state taxpayers."
Aroostook County Medical Center CFO Bruce Sandstrom agrees, but he says there are more challenges ahead for Maine hospitals.
"The issue that we've had to date has been largely the bills that were owed us were not paid,"Sandstrom says. "Going into the future, we're looking at further cuts to reimbursement rates."
That's because, Sandstrom says, even when hospitals are paid promptly for their Medicaid patients, they only receive about 75 cents for every dollar of care provided.

Luke thought he was just a moisture farmer, but soon learned he was so much more. The Deluxe Star Wars Luke Skywalker Costume for Boys looks just like his outfit in this classic movie. It features a tunic, pants, and a belt. The tunic is a cream colored shirt that looks like a short robe. The tan pants have brown boot covers that fit over your child's shoes. The belt is black with a worn buckle. Add a blue Luke Skywalker lightsaber and a long brown Jedi robe, both sold separately, to complete the look. Going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters used to be Luke's idea of excitement—until he met the droids and Obi Wan. Soon he was across the galaxy and doing battle against Darth Vader and the Empire. Your child will feel like the Force is strong in him when he wears the Deluxe Star Wars Luke Skywalker Costume during playtime or for Halloween.

Comments about Mud-Terrain T/A KM2:
Have already used them for 20,000 miles on a nissan pick up truck, both on road and off road in Greece; excellent performance on rocky Greek mountains (Pindos & Taigetos) and on mud terrain of hunting areas. Also very reliable in farm work, especially under heavy load conditions. For on road use, the noise starts after 95mph. My only concern is the use on icy roads, but it might be a result of my limited experience in driving on ice (no issue though with fresh snow up to 10inches).
Comments about Mud-Terrain T/A KM2:
I purchased the 235/85R16 Mud Terrain KM2's for my 1960 F100 4X4 restoration. They are mounted on stock style 16X6 steel rims. I was going for a stock looking, tall and skinny, aggressive tire without going with a reproduction bias ply tire. These tires worked perfect. The lugs wrap slightly over the shoulder of the tire without all the "jazzy" crummy looking sidewall designs that most modern tires seem to be dressed up with.
The tires were not overly loud on the highway. They tracked straight and rode smooth.
I took the truck out in a muddy field and tested the 4-wheel drive. The mud was upwards of 6" deep and there was no problem with grip. I stopped multiple times and drove both forwards and backwards with the tires gripping and getting me moving easily.
my only fault with them is that there isn't a blackwall only option which may have saved me a little bit of money.
Comments about Mud-Terrain T/A KM2:
I have had these tires less than two years and they are showing sings of age such as cracking near the rim/bead. They look like a set of tires that are more like 8 years old that are dried out and cracking. They wear terrible despite constant rotation and proper alignment. The tire tread is still good (Less than 2 years old with barely any miles) other than uneven wear and chunking of the tread. This is my daily driver and I feel like I already need to start looking for another set of tires for safety reasons alone.

I'm not sure any bank robberies this year have been as GUARANTEED TO FAIL as this one. Earlier this week, 29-year-old Johnnie Gooden Jr. of College Station, Texas walked into a Chase bank branch in Bryan, Texas and told the teller one hell of a story.
Johnnie told her he'd just been ADOPTED by MICHELLE OBAMA . . . yes, specifically Michelle. He didn't mention his new dad,PRESIDENT OBAMA. He said Michelle reached out through Facebook and adopted him. SO . . . because he was now a part of the Obama family, he was hoping to withdraw some money from their account.
We're not sure why he thought a random Chase bank in Texas would have access to the Obamas' account, but maybe it's best not to try to apply logic here. The teller called the cops, and when they got there, they found Johnnie had outstanding warrants for resisting arrest and assaulting a public servant. He also had some reefer on him. He was arrested.

Making great video always involves working with a group of people and making sure that everyone has access to all your video files. Unfortunately, most editing software isn't designed for these challenges. That's why we created Adobe Anywhere for video. Adobe Anywhere is a video collaboration platform that allows teams using Adobe Premiere Pro, Prelude, and After Effects to work together over local and wide area networks. If you're familiar with using these applications, you already know most of what you need to know. The Adobe Anywhere platform contains 2 types of components: the Anywhere Collaboration Hub and the Mercury Streaming Engine. By adding more Mercury Streaming Engines to the system, it can scale to support bigger work groups. Adobe Anywhere is designed to be located in your data center alongside your existing media storage and asset management system. Let's take a closer look at the Collaboration Hub. Most video workflows involve working with project files. These project files are usually specific to a single application and can only be used by one user at a time. Anywhere removes the boundaries between project files and allows multiple people to use different applications to work on the same production at the same time. All of your project's assets, such as folders, compositions, sequences, and metadata, are stored in a flexible database that everybody can access. Adobe Anywhere automatically handles the hard parts of collaborating, like providing simultaneous access, avoiding conflicts, and saving historical versions. Now let's see where the Mercury Streaming Engine comes in. Even though network bandwidth is constantly improving, it can still be a major constraint on your workflow when you're dealing with massive video files. You could copy files via FTP or ship hard drives between offices, but if you want to avoid slow transfer times, your only option was to use blurry, low resolution proxies of the original video. But now the Mercury Streaming Engine lets you use full resolution video files from across the network. You can stream media from down the hall, in another building, or even in another city but it still feels like the media is right there on your computer. No dropped frames, no proxies; every pixel is right there on your screen. Adobe Anywhere is an open platform. It works with a wide range of media management systems, media storage, and server hardware. An extensive API allows it to be customized to suit your needs. Open integration and customization helps you be more efficient for sure, but the true value is in having the right people working on your project. Adobe Anywhere lets you choose your team based on talent rather than location. So check out Adobe Anywhere and start collaborating without boundaries today.

Fordham Law's Urban Law Journal Celebrates 40 Years of Publishing
Contact: Patrick Verel

Fordham Urban Law Journal editor Joanna Zdanys welcomes attendees to the sympoisum.

Affordable housing, environmental degradation and consumer protection were all hot topics 40 years ago, when Fordham Law's Urban Law Journal (ULJ) published its first issue.
Gauging from the turnout of the journal's symposium on Feb. 28, they're still conversation starters.
The daylong symposium at the Law School's McNally Amphitheatre brought together a panoply of experts to tackle the same issues that the journal addressed in its inaugural 1983 issue. Befitting the wide-open nature of the specialty, the final panel of the day was simply called "What Is Urban Law?"
Constantine Katsoris, the Wilkinson Professor of Law and one of the journal's founders, joined journal editor Joanna Zdanys in welcoming attendees, and marveled at how far the journal has come.
He noted that the legendary Louis Lefkowitz, LAW '25, who was New York State Attorney General for 22 years, wrote the ULJ's very first article—on the challenges facing the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.
"I am very proud of what the ULJ has accomplished all these years, but I'm not surprised at its accomplishments, most notably that it is the second-most-cited student-edited public journal, and it is the ninth most-cited student-edited specialty journal in the nation—and climbing," Katsoris said.
The morning panel, "Exclusionary Zoning and Housing in Urban Planning," touched on everything from the impacts of historic districts on housing, to the deficiencies of the Mount Laurel Doctrine, which requires New Jersey municipalities to use zoning to provide space for affordable housing.
Christopher Serkin, professor of law at Brooklyn School of Law, challenged the standard notion of affordable housing as a LULU, or a Local Unwanted Land Use, that is regionally necessary but vociferously fought. Exclusionary zoning is traditionally understood as rules that prohibit building on small lots, and thus make affordable housing unfeasible for developers. But there are other ways to exclude the poor, by only providing superior public services in neighborhoods they can't afford.
Think about the ways in which Americans traditionally move from low wage areas of the country to high wage areas like New York City, he suggested.
"This kind of interregional mobility is slowing, and access to higher-wage regions is diminishing because of land use controls," he said.
"There's no economic advantage anymore of moving to a high-wage region if you're going to have to spend that full increase in wages on your housing. Welcome to New York. This is a familiar argument to all of us, right?"
The same dynamic can be seen at the neighborhood level.
"Protectionist zoning restrictions can so restrict supply in a neighborhood that, again, house prices in that neighborhood come to fully capitalize the value of the public services that people are trying to access, [until] there's no longer an advantage to move into these neighborhoods with better services," he said.
He advocated that the quality of public services, such as schools and police protection, be more evenly distributed throughout cities, to help control rising housing prices and exclusionary zoning restrictions.

"Even though a municipality may be bearing in its fair share of regional housing needs, it may still be engaging in exclusionary housing if it prevents low income families from accessing its high quality local services."
The panel, which was moderated by Annie Decker, Visiting Professor of Law at Fordham Law, also featured J. Peter Byrne, associate dean and professor of law at Georgetown Law School, Rick Hills, Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, Matthew Parlow, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Associate Professor of Law at Marquette University School of Law, and Stephanie Stern, the Irving S. Ribicoff Visiting Associate Professor of Law at Yale Law School.

A forum about fish has some people headed from the coast to the capitol today.
The legislation that's reeling people to Raleigh today is a bill that would grant gamefish status to speckled trout, red drum, and striped bass.
We're seeing pushback against the bill from some here in the east, the president of the Ocracoke Working Watermen Association says giving these types of fish "gamefish status" would have a, "devastating impact on commercial fishing families' income and eliminate availability of these three species to all consumers - NC residents, restaurants, tourists, and seafood retail markets."
We'll keep you posted on this legislation.

|Naruto Shippūden the Movie

Tonton (トントン, Tonton) is Tsunade's pet pig, often kept in the care of Shizune.
Tonton does not speak in any human language, but still manages to get her point across by whining in her own unique tone (a "buhi" or "oink" depending on the language). It seems that Tsunade and Shizune are able to understand what Tonton is trying to say. Tonton's nose also seems adept at tracking things, so much so that Pakkun has some familiarity with her.
Tonton is of a light pinkish colour, much like any other pig. Her cheeks blush in a darker shade of the same pink as her skin. She is always seen wearing a pearl collar and a dark red jacket.
The only official ability Tonton has been shown in the manga to have is a keen sense of smell. Also, despite her small size, she has been shown to be strong enough to carry several crates at least as large as her.
In the video games, Tonton often acts as Shizune's partner in some of her techniques. In the anime, Tonton performed a Transformation Technique, appearing as Tsunade (although she did not speak).[3] It could be that Shizune performed the technique on her, just like she does in the video games.
Part I
Search for Tsunade Arc
While travelling with Shizune and Tsunade, Tonton encountered Orochimaru and Kabuto, who were hoping for Tsunade to cure Orochimaru's arms. She is later seen on the battlefield watching the battle along with Gamakichi and Gamatatsu.
Mizuki Strikes Back Arc
Tonton was later seen during the escape of the criminals from the Konoha Strict Correctional Facility. She used her keen sense of smell to find the escapees until she was relieved of these duties by Pakkun.
Part II
Invasion of Pain Arc
Tonton was present when Naruto was informed of his master's death, with Shizune holding her in her arms.
Chikara Arc
Tonton was present when Tsunade tasked Team Kakashi with the mission to investigate the massacre of the Tonika Village.
Confining the Jinchūriki Arc
When Tsunade awakes from her coma, Tonton looks pleased to see her up until Shizune mistakenly believes that Tsunade wanted to eat Tonton to regain her stamina, much to their panic.
Shinobi World War Arc
Tonton is later assigned to the Logistical Support and Medical Division alongside Shizune. When Shizune introduces her to the division members she expressly tells them that Tonton isn't food. After the first day of the war is over, Tonton is seen helping around the barracks by transporting crates tied to her back.[4]
Tonton is later seen being tended to by Shizune as she had sprained her right front leg from carrying too many heavy crates.
- In the video games Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: Phantom Fortress, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3, Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 4 and Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 5, Tonton is used by Shizune in "Hog Release: Tonton", which is a technique that throws Tonton at an opponent while spinning upward. In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 4, Tonton is used as a partner to Shizune, helping her out in her Ultimate Technique by transforming into an image of Shizune and attacking the enemy to distract them from Shizune's main attack. In Shizune's "Chakra Sword: Great Intersecting Wound", Tonton butts the enemy in the stomach to knock the enemy back for Shizune's main attack.
- In Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, Tonton could be summoned to break rocks in the player's path.
- Tonton shares the same voice actress in both English and Japanese versions of the anime as Shizune.

The Pueblo City Council has walked back on their decision to replace prayer with a moment of silence at City Council meetings.
The original decision had been made after someone in Pueblo complained about the opening prayer to the Freedom From Religion Foundation, who then sent the Council a note asking them to remove the prayer.
But the prayer was restored upon realization that the Council's own rules and bylines call for an invocation, so a majority vote would be needed to remove it. The Council says it will search for ways to make the invocation more inclusive.

(written from a Production point of view)
Template:Disambiguate Dorothy Catherine Fontana (born 25 March 1939; age 77) is a writer and script editor who has the distinction of being one of the few people to have worked on Star Trek: The Original Series, as well as Star Trek: The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Deep Space Nine is her favorite Star Trek spinoff. She especially liked the show's strong characters. When rewritten, Fontana has used pseudonyms, including Michael Richards and J. Michael Bingham.
Fontana worked as a writer for a few television series before Star Trek, then briefly worked as Gene Roddenberry's secretary, before she became a writer on the show. The first episode she penned was "Charlie X", based on a premise by Roddenberry entitled "The Day Charlie Became God". Fontana wrote several notable Original Series episodes, including "Tomorrow is Yesterday" and "Journey to Babel". Also, after the departure of Steven W. Carabatsos, she was promoted to story editor (after successfully re-writing "This Side of Paradise"). At the age of 27, Fontana became the youngest story editor in Hollywood at the time, and also one of the few female staff writers. (Star Trek: The Original Series 365, introduction) She remained in this capacity until the end of the second season.
She left the story editor position before the third season went into production: "I had told Gene Roddenberry that I did not wish to continue on Star Trek as story editor because I wanted to freelance and write for other series. I did, however, want to continue to do scripts for Star Trek. Gene was agreeable to this, and I was given a contract in February of 1968 which called for a guarantee of three scripts, with an option for three more. Whenever anyone has asked why I chose to leave Star Trek's story editorship, I have always given this reply."[1]
However, Fontana was very unhappy with the rewrites done on her third season scripts, including "The Enterprise Incident" and "The Way to Eden" (originally submitted as "Joanna" by Fontana, featuring Doctor McCoy's daughter).[2]
Four years after the end of the Original Series, she became the associate producer and story editor of Star Trek: The Animated Series, for which she also wrote the episode "Yesteryear".
She later co-wrote the Next Generation's "Encounter at Farpoint", where she invented the "LCARS" concept, and four other episodes of TNG's first season beside being credited as Associate Producer on thirteen episodes of the first season. She also penned DS9: "Dax", her last involvement with Star Trek, in which a great deal of Jadzia Dax' backstory was fleshed out.
In the DS9 episode "Far Beyond the Stars", the character Kay Eaton, who had to pose as a male to get her science fiction stories published, was an homage to Fontana.
In 2006, she gave an interview to Star Trek Monthly in which she talked about writing for three Star Trek series. She notes how unhappy she was with the way Gene Roddenberry re-wrote the episodes they wrote together. She used the pseudonym "J. Michael Bingham" for "The Naked Now", as she was especially unhappy with the episode. She liked writing "Dax" much more.
Outside of Trek, Fontana wrote scripts for dozens of shows, including Babylon 5 and Earth: Final Conflict. In a 1974 episode scripted for The Six Million Dollar Man, "The Rescue of Athena One", Fontana pays homage to Star Trek by having Lee Majors' character of Colonel Steve Austin speak the line "Space... it really is the final frontier, isn't it?"
Fontana wrote the stories of the video games Star Trek: Secret of Vulcan Fury (unreleased), Star Trek: Bridge Commander, Star Trek: Legacy and Star Trek: Tactical Assault all with Derek Chester, and an episode of the fan production Star Trek: New Voyages, the episode "To Serve All My Days" in 2006, on which she worked alongside Jack Treviño and Ethan H. Calk.

I'm glad you found your way over here from EN World, Sirith! I've always enjoyed seeing your maps there.
Welcome to the Guild!
Hello people of the Cartographers' Guild.
About half a year ago I discovered the fun of drawing maps. I usually draw other things (people mostly), but I enjoy this new subject in my creative endeavours, en hope you enjoy my maps as well.
Decided to share with you two maps I did relatively recently. They are both fully digitally done in Painter, including line art and painting. Although I like traditionally done things better, digital media are easier to colour things (at least to me), so this was my tool of choice.
Both also have a minimum amount of layers. Ideally I have a layer for the line art, another for the water and finally one for the land. And I have also thrown a simple parchment texture from stock.xchng on top of both maps as a finishing touch. My painting is usually very smooth, and I think a texture looks better.
First is done for 3point75.org magazine. Really happy with this one (a more readable version is in the magazine, decided I didn't want to spoil it too much)
Second map is just a bunch of isles with a whole lot of mountains, impulsively called Isles of Fuar, with 'fuar' being the Irish Gaelic word for 'cold'. I included two close-ups of my favourite parts. I didn't label anything, nor placed cities, as I feel this needs some worldbuilding about the people etc. While this was mostly meant as practise in the technique department.
Actual realism in geography is not guaranteed
I'm glad you found your way over here from EN World, Sirith! I've always enjoyed seeing your maps there.

So glad you came over! I really like the minimalist style of your maps--a great combo of hand drawn and computer colored/crafted maps. Very, very good. I hope you contribute tons here and learn just as much.
PS: If you ever made a short tutorial of your method, I'll bet others would laud you for it, too!

"Keep your mind in hell, but despair not." --Saint Silouan [1866-1938]
Hi Sirith and welcome to the Guild. I really love your first map. It's so deceptively simple, beautiful and effective - and it immediately suggests a story and an individual stye. As Don said - a tutorial would be very welcome!
Thanks for the welcome and the comments, I'm glad you like my maps
pyrandon > I hope to learn a whole lot here, as well. It's nice to have a place devoted to mapmaking, I have been looking around here for a while and some maps are just inspirational and plain awesome.
What exactly do you mean with minimalist style? I'm not really sure I understand what you mean..
ravells > Thanks for the comment, the most useful ones are those where people tell you what they see and feel when looking at a piece (be it art or maps or whatever) IMHO. So, thank you
Also, I could make a walkthrough of sorts. I usually make a whole lot of wip-saves, because Painter is not always 100% stable (and you'll always see that when you decide that it's not going to happen anyway, that the program freezes and the save is corrupted ). So I could put something together. I'll take a look at it
I'd love to see a walkthough Sirith, I have painter but I very rarely use it which is a real shame.
What I mean by "minimalist" is that your lines are fairly clean and separated, and the coloring is basic. These are not "busy" maps with two million symbols and color changes and such, and so they could fall into the "plain" category (or worse yet, "boring"), but they do not: they maintain interest and pleasure in their basic, good cartography!
Hey: if you did a walk-thru in Painter that would be awesome! We have nothing in the Guild to my knowledge using Painter, and I'm sure others would really appreciate that software's presence (and even if not, people like me who just plain old love tutorials would like to see you "at work"!)

Ah, that makes sense . I'm glad I found the balance in these maps between being simple yet maintaining interest, I hope I can retain and push this aspect.
I'll gladly make a walkthrough, I know I always love seeing tutorials and walkthroughs by other people
Also, mind if I add you to my friends list on DA?

A new state law will allow police agencies in Illinois to seize and sell the vehicle of anyone caught driving with a suspended or revoked driver's license.
Gov. George Ryan signed the bill Tuesday. The new law takes effect Wednesday and affects drivers who lost their license because of drug or alcohol charges, or were convicted of reckless homicide or leaving the scene of an injury accident.
The new law allows a violator to surrender title of a vehicle to a spouse if it is the only means of transportation for the family. But if there is a second offense, the car can be taken away.

Saxophonist, composer and bandleader Ravi Coltrane's debut recording for Blue Note Records, Spirit Fiction, was released on June 19. I believe that's cause for celebration. You may recall reading the news about Coltrane's historic Blue Note signing in a previous James on Jazz column. We also profiled Coltrane in a 2008 interview with the MSR.
Yes, let's be honest: With this new recording, Coltrane may not receive pop star treatment, or see his face in full-page ads in Newsweek or Time magazines, but make no mistake — he will get noticed. Perhaps the best way to approach the new album isn't so much with great anticipation and great expectations but with openness and appreciation. Continue Reading →

If you want craziness.
I used to have a solar kingdom file that used True Retear as it's support and reinforcement. However because solar kingdom in question is lvl 3 rush = mega hard.
Slightly more easier version is Soul return in place of True Retear. I should warn you, Its far more common sight to see your lvl 3 units get oneshot these days than before so get used to the beatdown or don't bother with it.
But I have won matches with them, so, its an "viable" file xD

WASHINGTON – It may seem like a rarity around here, but two construction projects have come in under budget, allowing the money to go toward other much needed road improvements in Fairfax County.
Among the projects covered by the $11.2 million saved on construction of the Burke Virginia Railway Express parking garage and Gallows Road project, Fairfax County will make new improvements around the Mark Center that could help drivers find a key shortcut they may not know about.
Part of the improvements to the exit ramp from Interstate 395 south toward Little River Turnpike will include better signs that indicate Quantrell Avenue can be used to cut through to Beauregard Street and the Plaza at Landmark shopping center.
"What we're trying to do is make the signage better for the alternative route and then also to make some improvements on the alternative route so it actually works effectively when people try to use it," Fairfax County Transportation Director Tom Biesiadny says.
The hope is that more cars would choose Quantrell Avenue over Route 236 and the congested intersection with Beauregard Street.
Other changes tied to the increased traffic around the Mark Center since the BRAC process include changes to a left turn lane at that intersection, and a new right turn lane on Cherokee Avenue that could give drivers commuting to the Mark Center from the south a better option.
The project getting the most funding from the extra cash is a spate of improvements to sidewalks and other pedestrian infrastructure in the four-mile stretch of Route 50 between the Beltway and Seven Corners.
With schools, libraries, restaurants, malls and more along the stretch, Biesiadny hopes filling in sidewalk gaps and renovating sidewalk stretches that have run down, could encourage more people to walk and actually ease traffic in the congested corridor.
"Right now the pedestrian facilities are fairly sporadic, they're not in good shape, and they're not connected," he says.
"By improving the pedestrian facilities, we will improve the access to transit, to the bus stops, so it will encourage more people to use transit."
The sidewalk improvements will also include some upgrades to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Other projects included in the new funding plans are aimed at easing traffic bottlenecks in the county and replacing bridges.
As for how the two projects that freed up the funding for the new work came in under budget at a time when many others in the area are noted for their actual or potential cost overruns, Biesiadny says "it mostly had to do with the fact that the bids were pretty aggressive."
"The contract environment is pretty good right now, he says.
