I'll have to play around with this - it looks like the sort of thing a lot of my friends would love to use. Thanks for the tutorial, and welcome to the guild!
I have been planning to introduce my children to the world of desktop gaming for some time now. I want to create my own stories and maps myself so I have been investigating what software will work best for my needs. After trying GIMP, I concluded that I don't have the drawing skills to make that work. Additionally, I want something that will make mapping faster. The software needed to be free and available for any platform.
I finally took a close look at OpenOffice.org Draw, and after several hours of investigation I believe I have finally learned enough about Draw to make the maps I want.
OpenOffice.org Draw on Linux
Reasons To Chose OpenOffice.org Draw
Cost its free and can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org.
Platform OpenOffice.org is available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
Shapes uses shapes to draw images so the need for drawing talent is minimal.
Galleries offers a gallery feature that allows you to group and store shapes for quick reuse later.
Transparency supports variable transparency on shapes and pictures inserted into a drawing.
How To Use OpenOffice.org Draw
Setup The Options
The first thing I needed to do was set the software options. This is done by going to Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Draw > Grid. First, I turned on the Snap to grid and Visible grid. Second, I changed the grid resolution to for both horizontal and vertical to 0.10 of an inch. Third, I changed the Snap so it would snap To the page margins and To object points. I turned off snap To object frame.

I decided to create two different kinds of maps. I wanted to be able to make both hexagonal and square maps. Since I only have a simple color printer that can only print on Letter size paper, I opted to make the size of my basic terrain shapes one inch square. I did this by using the Basic Shapes found in the toolbar at the bottom of the Draw program. After drawing the basic shape on the canvas I set the properties of the shape. This can be done by selecting the shape and then do one of the following: a) Press the F4 key, b) right click on the shape and select Position and Size..., c) using the menus choose Format > Position and Size. Make sure the Keep ratio is unchecked, then change the width and height of the shape to one. Since the terrain tiles have to remain the same size, in the Protected section I checked Size. This way I will not accidentally change the dimensions of a terrain shape while building maps.
Position and Size Dialog for Shapes
Combine map shapes to create the design you are looking for. When you are satisfied with your shape, select all of the shapes that make up your custom shape, then right click on any one of the selected shapes and select "Group" from the popup menu. All of the individual shapes of your new shape will now behave as a single shape. If you ever need to edit a shape that is combined into a group, simply right click on it and select "Enter Group". You will then be able to edit the individual shapes that make up the group.
Note: Groups can be nested within other groups.
Below are samples of my early attempts at custom shapes. (Compass Rose, Buildings, Terrain Tiles)
After creating shapes that I plan to reuse, I create a gallery to store them for later. Begin by opening the gallery by clicking on Tools > Gallery. In the gallery pane the New Theme... button lets you create a new theme that will appear in the scrolling list. Then you can add shapes to the theme by making sure it is selected on the left, then drag the shape from the canvas into the gallery space on the right.
The dragging is a little tricky. It is accomplished by clicking and holding the left mouse button on the shape until the cursor changes appearance. Then it will allow you to drag the shape into the gallery pane.
Note: Since galleries are listed in alphabetical order, I found it helpful to start all of my map galleries with "Map" so they would be listed together.
For my purposes I created the following galleries:
Maps Buildings - contains shapes resembling different roofs.
Maps Cities - contains the silhouette city icons for world/area maps.
Maps Compass - contains compass roses.
Maps Furniture - contains top down views of furniture.
Maps Legends - contains bordered legends in which I display the map name, etc.
Maps Plants - contains top down views of plants similar to those found in landscaping software.
Maps Terrain - contains hexagonal and square terrain shapes for all types of maps (area, indoor, dungeons, caves, etc).
Polygon Line Tool
For the world/area maps I elected to use hexagons. I created terrain shapes that are draw completely using basic shapes. Because I have snap To object points turned on, it is easy to arrange the terrain shapes on the canvas. I created silhouette city icons and insert them on top of the terrain shapes. Then I used the polygon line tool to draw the river and roads. The polygon line tool can be found on the toolbar at the bottom of the program window (see insert). Since it is impossible to draw the line when there is an object under it, I draw the line outside of the canvas. Then I turn on Edit Points by clicking the button. This will also make visible the Edit Points toolbar. I drag one end of the line to the starting point of the river/road. I then drag the other end of the line to the ending point of the river/road. To make the river/road follow the contours of the hexagons I use the Insert Points button to add a new point to the line, then I drag it to the point on the hexagon. Snap To object points makes this easy. I keep inserting points until I have made the line match the path I want for the river/river. I also used a line to emphasize the boundary between the land and the sea.
Sample Area Map
I may need help from an administrator to help me clean this up. I am not sure I have done this tutorial correctly.
you could rewrite the tutorial and post it as a pdf later, then you aren't depeding on how the forum works

Cathedrals of the Game: Houston Astrodome
One of the special treats about being a Cubs fan is the beauty and charm of Wrigley Field. It's one of the most cherished ballparks in baseball, and especially to those rooting for the Cubs.
Of course not all baseball fans have the privilege to grow up enjoying the gem of a ball yard at Clark and Addison. Instead, for many youngsters the greenest grass on earth may have resided at one of the rinky-dink stadiums of the 1950-60s, or in other cases, there wasn't any green grass at all, but the shine of green Astroturf in the multi-purpose, cookie cutter parks from the 1970-80s.
At any rate, they're all cathedrals to budding baseball fans dreaming of playing in the major leagues. It's where heroes play and where hearts jump out of chests the moment the field comes into view after passing through a turnstile.
This season I'll be writing about the many cathedrals of major league baseball; young and old, good and not so good, and all those in between. Particularly, I'll look at some (not all) of the best performances in each stadium. Who had the most career hits? Who stole the most bases in a single game? Which pitcher collected the most strikeouts? etc.
With the opening of the 2013 season in Houston, I begin this series with the Astrodome, the former home of the former National League Astros.
-"The Eight Wonder of the World"
-Opened April 24, 1965
-Closed October 9, 1999
-Still Standing
-Key Feature: Air conditioning
-Originally the park was to have natural grass growing beneath the more than 4,000 clear plastic panels on the roof. When that didn't work, it lead to the birth of Astro Turf.

The Criminal Rating is a rating level in all games in the GTA III Era based on the criminal activities of the player. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the criminal rating can be viewed in the Stats section in the pause menu. A new game starts the criminal rating at 0. GTA San Andreas did not feature the Media Attention statistic like Vice City did.
- For each increment of $5000 = 1 (If you spend money, points will go down with it.)
- Getting Busted/Wasted = -3
- For every 0.1% of game completed = 1 (100% completion counts, alone, as 1000 points.)
- Using a cheat = -10
- Killing pedestrians = Linked to the statistics "People killed since last checkpoint" and "Total legitimate kills" (in Stats > Crimes) instead of increasing immediately the rating, going to what the game defines to be a "checkpoint" (Finishing a mission, going to a Pay 'n' Spray, or saving the game) is required to trigger the criminality point increase (and thus your total legitimate kills), with the amount of points obtained depends on the amount of kills this stat gives (for an example, 5 kills on the said statistic will increase by 5 points the rating after going to the Pay'n'spray). Once the point increase has been applied, the game counts this action as a "checkpoint", resetting the stat "Number of people killed since last checkpoint", increasing the "Total legitimate kills" stat by the value obtained before attaining the checkpoint.
- Running over pedestrians, i.e. ramming down someone with a car, will not be counted as a "legitimate kill", although increasing by 1 your "People you've wasted" stat, which is your true total kill count throughout the game.
- Being killed, arrested will reset your "People killed since last checkpoint" stat to 0, thus all kills you've made before dying will not be registered as "legitimate kills".
- Going to a TransFenders is not a checkpoint.
- Destroying ground vehicles = +0 (Empty vehicles don't reward you anything. Destroying ground vehicles with a driver and/or passengers in it grants you points only because you killed the peds inside. Privileged targets are cop cars with 2 cops in it, SWAT trucks and FBI Ranchers with 4 agents each in them. Randomly on the road, you will also find some 4-doors with multiple passengers in them. Shoot them on sight if you want!)
- Destroying aircrafts = +30
- The scoring is not always the same in Hydra. The basic amount of points for taking Hydra down is +30 as in any other aircraft but it varies in case you shot Hydra down from another Hydra. You can get as much as +120 points for taking a single Hydra down if you do it above the sea and then follow the enemy hydra down until it crashes into the water level.
Tips to increase the score
- The storyline missions can do you a great favor as finishing them earn 5 points each, but consider that in almost all of them, you will kill people, earn money (between end-mission money and money you might earn off your victims), destroy lots of vehicles and sometimes aircraft.
- After completing the storyline missions, you should be left with a nice bank account and a solid 8,000 points at the very least. Of course, doing every side-missions will help you climb higher in the criminality ranks.
- Sadly, though, completing everything, even with keeping all the money, won't make you go to the million points. You must know that maxed money alone is worth 199,999 points only in the score, you'll need obviously more to attain the million.
If you wish to increase your criminal rating using other ways, your only solution is to get into a fight with the system and start making a killing spree. Here are a few tips if you want to "start a one-man war".
- Homelands Method
This method is pretty simple. It consists in choosing a secluded place with narrow access, such as a backstreet, or anywhere far away enough from roads, so you can take out easily any intruder coming in, leaving you with clear shots to aircraft incoming.
Weapons recommended: Minigun, M4, Any shotgun except the sawn-off (in case the intruders come close to you), satchel charges, or molotov cocktails especially if you are fireproof (if the shotgun is ineffective). Escape methods: If you need to get out, I would suggest keeping a fast vehicle (preferably a fast motorbike to get out of your hiding place and rush to the Pay'n'Spray.
Advantages: Natural defense, and possibility to take out intruders quickly
Drawbacks: It happens often, helicopters blasted down can block your way out, if they don't come blasting right next to you.
- My Castle is High
Similar to the Homelands Method, except your main advantage is not in narrow access, but in height itself. Take advantage of your opponents by shooting them from a height.
Weapons recommended: Minigun, M4, grenades or satchel charges to drop on your enemies, sniper rifle (Optional only, but it's a fun and challenging weapon, especially in high wanted level situations)
Escape methods: If you need to get out from a high place, the solution is simple: use a helicopter, the Hydra, a Jetpack, anything that allowed you or helped you to come to your shooting area.
Advantages: Natural defense, possibility to snipe on your intruders quickly as well.
Drawbacks: If you choose an area that's too low, your enemies will have a clear shot at you. On the other hand, if your shooting area is too high, you will have to rely on dropping explosives, or shooting their vehicles.
- Deadly Wind
This method requires you to never stop moving, and to kill all targets from a ground vehicle, using the drive-by method.
Weapons recommended: MP5 packed with lots of ammo.
Vehicles recommended: Any fast bike, the obvious best being the NRG-500.
Advantages: Mobility is a plus when you have to escape, plus this method allows you to escape whenever needed. Not to mention it allows for music!
Drawbacks: Single weapon without the ability to really aim, not to mention that higher levels will mean law enforcement swarming on the roads, and thus much higher chances to fall off your bike, be it because a cop busted you, or because of an obstacle, leaving your opponents with very clear shot at you.
- Deadly Storm
Similar to Deadly Wind, only that the danger for cops come from the air!
Vehicles recommended: Hunter or Hydra, of course. Using a Sea Sparrow is way too dangerous, due to this helicopter's fragility.
Advantages: You have an extremely deadly machine gun at your disposition, not to mention rocket launchers, all with unlimited ammo. Plus, as you're in the air, escaping becomes much easier. Not to mention that if you die, you will be granted with at least 27 points (30 of an aircraft taken down, minus 3 on player's death), although it won't make up for the much higher scores you can attain when you get away.
Drawbacks: At higher wanted levels, enemy Hydras will spawn, and they will shoot rockets to take you down. (There is a way to counter incoming missiles that can only be done while in a Hydra which is by using counter measure to attract heat seeking missiles while you fly away.) Plus, if you get too low, there's chances that enemy will open fire on you from the ground, and repeated fire WILL take you down as well. Not to mention there is no way to get a helicopter or Hydra in a Pay'n'spray, so you'll have to land and run to a save point to cash in your points.
- Hydra Hunter
Do not try to escape from the Hydras surrounding you. Make them your primary target! The easiest way is to take a Hydra (i. e. from your save point in Verdant Meadows) and fly over a military base to attract police attention (Area 69 is just to the south from Verdant Meadows, or there is the Easter Basin Naval Station in San Fierro). Then you only have to fly across the sky, listen to the music and wait for Hydras. Once they appear, start to chase them, with the aiming still on, fly in circles, wait for the finder to become red and fire. The amount of points you get for taking Hydra down varies between +30 and +120. To make sure you get all of the 120 points you have to shoot the enemy Hydra above the sea and then follow it all the way down until it crashes into the water level. Don't lose it from your sight and be sure to stay close when it crashes into the water.
- Sniper Shots
This method is same as the 'My Castle is high' method but this time you're gonna use a Sniper rifle for this, just take a sniper rifle (You can take one from Mulholland, Los Santos - On a balcony of a house, near a body armor pickup) not much ammo is needed just 20 will work (it depends on how many points you need), and get on a high place using a Chopper or the Jetpack, if you got your place then land and start your war, use your scope its a very useful tool, check your ammo you gonna need it. Just try not to attarct Police Attention, or you'll end up having two or three stars. The best target is a car's gas tank, they cause lot of chaos but also attarct police attention, you can also kill people with it. Always plan a escape route or you'll end up wasted or busted, use a car or some other vehicle, if you've Jetpack then you don't need to worry, if you've got a chopper its good but its not recommended cause it requires a much bigger area to fly.You can also use the Country Rifle to do this,minigun is the best weapon for this, Launcher RPGs are also good for this. Choosing a good place is very important, if the place is too high then shots will go inaccurate and if the place is too low then you'll lose much of your health by enemy fires. Good Luck, Sniper.·cu·rate
- I've got a mother fucking tank!
The title about sums it up. Go to the Area 69 military base. Don't get shot down coming in - it's easiest to enter through the fence on the east side. Right behind said fence are the hangars. They hold three Hydras (!), but you don't need that - in the mission Vertical Bird, you get your own for keeps. In the last hangar is a "Rhino" tank. Get in, it's not locked (the military probably ain't afraid of thieves). You'll instantly get 5 stars wanted level, but hey, who cares? You've got a mother fucking tank!
The tank's not indestructible, but it is incredibly tough. The main cannon has unlimited ammo, is fully turnable, and by shooting it behind you can boost the otherwise sluggish tank to up to 100 MPH speeds. Shooting it in driving direction will slow you down, though. You don't, however, need to shoot at oncoming cop cars. Just drive into them - they explode on contact. The tank can take at least 20 such collisions. You can shoot the gun at helis too, if they fly low enough. The tank can be significantly damaged by very little short of another tank. Try not to get 6 stars, as then that's exactly what will chase you (and not just one, pretty much a whole artillery division). Drive the tank into the airport hangar and save game to shake the cops and start the carnage with no wanted level if you want to. If you know when to stop, you can drive the tank back there after you've done some damage, save, and go again.
- Airstrip Points
Once you have unlocked the Hunter helicoptor and the rest of the air vehicles that spawn at the Verdant Airstrip, hop in the Hunter and fly by with the machine gun to destory all of the parked aircraft, fly to the end of the runway and return to the hangers and repeat the process. Make sure you stick to the machine gun only, otherwise you will attract alot of police attention. You will be rewarded 30 points for each of the aircraft that spawn there. This works effectively at Las Venturas airport aswell. There are plently of aircraft parked here.You can go to any airport to do this, the best example is Easter Bay Airport, there are many aircrafts parked there you can destroy them all.
- Give it to me
This method is for PC users only. simply just download full crime rating save file.
- Wearing Body Armor is essential, but it is strongly advised to complete the Paramedic and Vigilante R3 missions to max out your health and armor levels. The point is, of course, to survive in order to get to a checkpoint.
- Obviously, load yourself up with powerful weaponry. The Minigun will be your best tool as it can be used for multiple purposes, from killing clumps of running pedestrians to destroying aircraft swiftly and easily, if you go for an on-foot method using the unlimited ammo cheat is a slight smart option here though costing you an intial 10 points for using a cheat having unlimited minigun or rocket launcher ammo can be very handy during your rampages.
- Take down aircraft in priority! Each of those will grant you instantly 30 points each without having to "cash them" using the checkpoint method. In case you die during your killing spree, you will have at least the aircraft takedown points. The heli sniping trick might get useful if you're really accurate and don't want to waste Minigun ammo, in case you go for an on-foot method.
- Choose your paths wisely. Plan how you're gonna do the killing spree, make an escape plan, make sure you can respond to any threat or retreat if needed. Whatever you do, try to survive. Don't waste time on health recovery, as spending time in front of a Sprunk dispenser will make you lose than what you'll recover, and most importantly: do NOT go in a fast-food, unless you're fast, because upon exiting, a lot of cops will be waiting for you, guns ready of course.
- A good place to start a killing spree would be in south San Fierro. Lots of people spawn on the streets of Doherty, especially those one block north from the Wang Cars and is an excellent place to do massive kills. It is also the perfect retreat place, as if you are too low on health, all you have to do is to run to the garage, pick a car upstairs and race the few feet separating you from the Pay'n'spray that will make you cash in your points. Even better, there is a Sprunk dispenser near the Cranberry Station to quickly restore your health before starting a new killing spree.
- Optimize your chances of surviving by planning an escape route. Be sure there's always next to you a way for you to escape, be it a fast vehicle, an aircraft, back-alleys, spawn points of body armor or weapons or even bribes, just so you get the few extra protection needed to run your way to a checkpoint, provided you're close to one. Learn the streets, and don't plan a city-scale rampage. Instead, stay around your favorite places, those you know the best. Remember, a checkpoint can be any safehouse, and any Pay'n'Spray.
- Avoid getting surrounded. In the case this happens, and you need at any costs to get out of the place you've been trapped in (such as a back-alley, a rooftop, or anywhere in the likes), try sniping your way out. A good shot in the head or in the gas tanks can gift you an escape route, especially in higher wanted level situations.
- There is no limit to how long a killing spree can go. It can be interesting to make a long one and do a big jump up to your stats, but (unless you use mods or have a stats editor) don't forget that dying can happen at any instant. Don't bite off more than you can chew, set yourself thresholds or time limits. Better to take down a few and get away with it, than to do lots of casualties and die doing more.
Always take a recruited gang with you this will help you in escaping the police and enemy gang members [To recruit a gang, aim at a friendly gang member press g or h to recruit] The number of members you can recruit depends on your respect.

Hashirama Senju (千手柱間, Senju Hashirama) renowned as the God of Shinobi (忍の神, Shinobi no Kami) was a legendary ninja who hailed from the Senju clan that together with the Uchiha clan, established the first shinobi village: Konohagakure. He would later go on to become the village's First Hokage (初代火影, Shodai Hokage, Literally meaning: First or Founding Fire Shadow).
During the Era of the Warring States, Hashirama met Madara Uchiha at a river where the young Uchiha was skipping stones. Telling his new acquaintance that he needed to put more feeling into his attempts, Hashirama introduced himself to the young man as his rival in skipping stones and noted that at this point in time, he was leading.[6] Though their clans have been in a bloody feud for ages, hired by opposing factions to counterbalance the other,[7] both Hashirama and Madara knew the only way for either to survive, was to become friends rather than enemies. Soon after, while attending the burial of their fallen kinsmen alongside his younger brothers Tobirama and Itama, Hashirama got into an altercation with their father over what he considered to be the pointless death of Kawarama. That moment convinced Hashirama, with Tobirama's support, that there must be peace amongst ninja. He would later discuss this concept with Madara when he met him on the riverbank once again after the death of Itama.[8]
As he and Madara grew older, Hashirama's friendship,[9] and rivalry with him became increasingly intense as they eventually became the leaders of the Senju and Uchiha clans respectively. Using his position to eventually convince his kin to end the constant fighting, Hashirama and his clan approached the Uchiha and offered a truce with them. This led to the founding of Konohagakure. When deciding who should become the leader of Konoha, the villagers selected Hashirama over Madara for the title of First Hokage.[10]
Fearing that Hashirama would oppress the Uchiha, Madara left the village, and later acquired the Nine-Tails, with the intent to challenge Hashirama.[11] Attempting to absorb the Nine-Tails' chakra, Madara had it fire a Tailed Beast Ball, which Hashirama caught and sent back.[12] Protecting himself from the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball, Hashirama recovered to see that Madara had also survived the blast by equipping his Susanoo directly onto the beast. During the battle Hashirama attempted to reason with Madara to stop fighting and come to his senses, but realising that Madara would not back down, Hashirama entered Sage Mode to end the battle.[13] In the aftermath of intense battle, Hashirama defeated Madara, who faked his death and went into hiding,[14] while Hashirama's wife, Mito Uzumaki, became the Nine-Tails' first jinchūriki by sealing the beast within herself.[15] Much of the area the fight occurred in the terrain formed it into come to be known as the "Valley of the End".
During his time as Hokage, Hashirama came into possession of a scroll filled with, among other skills, various kinjutsu, which he sealed away in order to keep the techniques within it a secret.[16] He also defeated Kakuzu, who had been sent to assassinate him by Takigakure.[17] At some point, Hashirama gained control of several tailed beasts. He spread these beasts to other, newly-formed villages in an attempt to maintain peace and equalise the powers between the nations.[18] Thinking about the future of Konoha, he also trained the young Hiruzen Sarutobi, one of his brother's team members. He lived long enough to meet his first grandchild, Tsunade, and noted that he had spoiled her a great deal, even going as far as to teach her how to gamble.[19] Hashirama died some time after the founding of Konoha in one of the many wars that were raging during this revolutionary era, but not before passing on the title of Hokage to Tobirama.[1]
Hashirama was shown to be a kind and caring person with a deep sense of loyalty, great charisma, and skill in negotiation. He saw the people of Konoha as a part of his own family, and his legacy took a firm root in the village. He was also shown to be a very wise and insightful man, as he passed on great teachings to Hiruzen. It was he who first believed that all Konoha shinobi should show true loyalty to each other, and that a Kage must be willing to put his life on the line for his village to set an example for all others. This belief of his is known as the "Will of Fire". Hashirama also seemed to have a sense of honour regarding his opponents and, despite their rivalry, possessed great respect for Madara Uchiha, and even considered him a friend. When they were kids, Hashirama and Madara cared about each other so much that they purposely leaked information to each other about a trap that their respective clans laid out. Due to the chaotic era he underwent as a child, Hashirama disagreed on children being sent to the battlefield and cultivated the ideals of a shinobi Academy and a shinobi organisational system in order to avoid having children as meaningless war casualties.[20]
Hashirama was an idealist by nature and looked towards the prospect of peace and a time where children would not be sent to war because of it.[21] He always gave people the benefit of the doubt witnessed when he proposed a truce with the Uchiha, considering them allies immediately, even when Madara attacked the village, Hashirama did not allow this to colour his view of the other Uchiha in the village. This put him in odds with his brother, who was more of a realist and was still wary of the Uchiha, seeing them as a threat to Konoha because of their unpredictable emotional states, despite the fact that Hashirama told his brother to not discriminate against the Uchiha countless times.[22] Hashirama is modest, and is by no means above praising other shinobi as he lauded Itachi Uchiha when told of his feats by Sasuke, and claimed Itachi to be a better shinobi than himself.[23]
Contrasting somewhat with the expectations people had built up for the man known as the most powerful shinobi to ever live,[24] Hashirama is a jovial, laid-back, and exuberant person with an interest in gambling. This was displayed after he was reincarnated a second time with his persona left intact as he was barely able to contain his excitement upon learning that there was a Fourth Hokage, taking it as a sign of his village's longevity.[25] He was later shocked, as well as worried when he learned that Tsunade had become the Fifth Hokage due to the fact he spoiled her as a child, even having taught her how to gamble.[19] The dynamics between him and his brother are also quite intense and inverted as Hashirama sometimes succumbed to his more authoritative younger brother's orders.[26] While in the same breath when necessary, he was not above using force to bend others to his will, as seen when he forcefully subdued Tobirama from attacking Sasuke and his group.[27] Hashirama is also shown to be very considerate as he chose to delay his departure to the battlefield to tell Sasuke the truth he requested, noting that their actions on the battlefield would mean nothing if another Madara would just appear in the world.[28]
Hashirama was a tall man with tanned skin, dark eyes and waist-length black hair typically styled in a centre-parted fringe that framed his face, although sometimes he wore it combed-back with two single locks framing his face instead. In most cases, his attire took the form of the standard shinobi dress of his era, consisting of dark red traditional armour — similar to that of samurai — worn over a simple black suit. This armour was constructed from numerous metal plates, formed into multiple protective guards along his body, in particular: chest, shoulders, thighs and forearms. Each collar of his shoulder guards bore the Senju symbol emblazoned on them. This clothing was accompanied by sandals and his village's forehead protector, after its formation. He often time also carried either a single large scroll strapped to his back or several large ones into battle.
While in the village, Hashirama tended to wear the traditional Kage attire consisting of the customary hat and haori over a full-length gown, along with a simple red headband. Otherwise, he wore a light-brown, short-sleeved, kimono shirt with mesh armour underneath, held closed by a red sash, and navy blue pants. As a child, Hashirama's hair was shoulder-length and was more bowl-cut in style, hanging around his face. He wore a light-coloured attire with a short jacket, a light scarf around his neck, and a dark-coloured sash around his waist.[29]
As the first lord Hokage, Hashirama is reputed as the most powerful shinobi of his era, his might being so vast that it earned him the title of "God of Shinobi",[5] and having been called the strongest shinobi even by his enemy Madara Uchiha.[30][31] His strength was so greatly respected by the shinobi world that Madara himself claimed Hashirama was the one person whom he most admired and detested,[32] as well as was the only person capable of stopping him.[33] Madara mentioned that fighting all five current Kage was trivial compared to his battle with Hashirama, and that with only one of them alive, the landscape would not change as drastically — a reference to the battle between the two that created an entire valley.[34]
Kabuto Yakushi claimed that Hashirama's might was so vast, that there aren't any living shinobi in the current era that could match his level of power. It was such that many considered his prowess to be a mere fairy tale much like the existence of the Sage of the Six Paths.[35] The most common example was his ability to not only fight on equal footing with Madara despite the latter possessing an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and having control of the Nine-Tails, but also survive the battle and ultimately defeat his long-time rival.
Stamina and Life Force
As a Senju, Hashirama inherited an extraordinary life force, as well as physical energy. Likewise, his chakra was also shown to be remarkably strong; a testament to its fortitude was witnessed through Hashirama's use of his chakra alone to deter his brother from attacking, which almost caused the Naka Shrine to collapse. He was also able to resist the control of Orochimaru's Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation with relative ease, which greatly worried the Sannin.[36] His chakra levels also made him suitable to learn senjutsu and enter Sage Mode.
Medical Ninjutsu
According to Madara, Hashirama was also able to use medical ninjutsu. His skill with which were such that he could heal himself without forming seals, and from the medical ninjutsu that his descendant Tsunade — who is considered to be the greatest medical-nin in the world as it is — had displayed at that point in time, Madara surmised that his medical techniques were also on an entirely different level.[37]
Nature Transformation
Hashirama was arguably most famous for his unique Wood Release techniques, a kekkei genkai formed through simultaneous use of earth and water-natured chakra. By converting chakra into the source of life, he was able to create wood and plants from the ground of or his very being, causing them to grow to great sizes and manipulate them to diverse shapes and battle uses at will and in an instant, he could shape the entire battlefield for his own uses. This ability appeared to be exclusively his, as no other known member of his clan has ever displayed its use thus far. Even those who obtained this power through unorthodox means, such as Yamato, have stated that their use of Wood Release was much weaker in terms of raw power.[38]
He could create massive forests, gigantic flowering trees whose pollen can render a foe unconscious. He could also make wood clones of himself. Madara later stated that he was the only one who could tell the difference between Hashirama and his wood clones with his ocular powers.[39] Hashirama could create a giant wooden dragon capable of restraining the Nine-Tails by using its immense serpentine body to constrict and absorb its chakra. His Wood Release: Wood Human Technique can catch a Tailed Beast Ball.[40] He could create protective structures that are able to withstand the destructive force of a Tailed Beast Ball,[41] and could even create several giant wood hands that could block the sword of Madara's Susanoo.[42]
Along with his kekkei genkai, Hashirama also possessed a unique ability to control tailed beasts.[43] Of all his considerable talents, it was this ability in particular that made Hashirama unparalleled in the shinobi world, so much so that he is regarded as one of the few people capable of completely controlling a tailed beast.[44] At one time, he had many of the beasts in his possession.[18] This ability was greatly amplified by his crystal necklace, which Yamato suggested that he required to control even Naruto's partial lapses into tailed forms.[45][46]
Hashirama was also extremely skilled in weapons use, especially in kenjutsu and wielded a myriad of swords, one such had a broad, cleaver-like blade.[47][48] He also could wield giant shuriken. In the anime, he displayed a clever combination of his weapon skills with his Wood Release techniques, having several roots wrapped around his weapons, allowing him to attack from a longer range with different angles. Hashirama possessed several large scrolls that were roughly his height, presumably to store his weapons. His skill in weapons use was such that he could clash against Madara Uchiha, another highly-skilled weapons user at an equal level, forcing both to shift between it and ninjutsu in order to break the stalemate.
Hashirama's chakra reserves were immense; great enough that he could train in the art of senjutsu and also enter Sage Mode. In this mode he gains markings around and under his eyes as well as one in the middle of his forehead reminiscent of a third eye. Sage Mode greatly increased the strength and scale of his techniques. A testament to this, was his Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands technique, which created a gargantuan guardian which easily towered over mountains and even the Nine-Tails.[49]
Other Skills
As the leader of the Senju clan, Hashirama held proficiency in a wide cross-section of shinobi skills, and possessed at least an understanding of those he did not. He was well-versed in genjutsu and could perform powerful illusions such as the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, which locked the target in perpetual darkness for the duration of the technique.[50] In the anime, he displayed aptitude in the art of fūinjutsu, using the Contract Seal to break Madara's control over Kurama.[51] Hashirama could also use Summoning: Quintuple Rashōmon, which brings out five Rashōmon that can protect him from nearly any attack.[52] He was also a sensor type, though not as good as Tobirama. He also had high skill in taijutsu since childhood, with Madara noting that they were roughly equal in this area.
Part I
Invasion of Konoha Arc
Both he and Tobirama were reincarnated by Orochimaru using the Impure World Reincarnation technique to fight Hiruzen during the invasion, although not at their full powers. While fully aware of what was going on, and saddened that he would have to fight his former student, Hashirama and his brother were robbed of their free will as a result of a seal employed by Orochimaru into the back of their heads. Hiruzen quickly resolved to kill his masters and used a very powerful fire technique that was easily countered by one of Tobirama's walls of water. It was then turned into an attack that was stopped by Hiruzen's own earth wall.
During the battle, he demonstrated great teamwork and combination attacks with his brother. He also demonstrated his great Wood Release abilities using the Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees to completely alter the terrain they were sealed within. Before the branches can crush Hiruzen, however, he summoned Enma for assistance, and at the same time showed great taijutsu skills clashing with the Third at close range while the latter used the Adamantine Staff. His soul, along with his brother's, was eventually sealed by Hiruzen when he combined the Dead Demon Consuming Seal and the Shadow Clone Technique to extract both of their souls at the same time. Before his soul was completely removed, he and his brother apologised to their former student for the trouble they had caused him.[53]
Part II
Shinobi World War Arc
During Sasuke Uchiha's quest to find answers, Hashirama's soul was freed from inside the stomach of the Shinigami, and subsequently reincarnated with the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation by Orochimaru along with the three Hokage that succeeded him using Zetsu's spore clones as sacrifices.
Reincarnated once more, Hashirama questions Tobirama as he curses Orochimaru before the two noticed Minato as he formally introduced himself to them, and was pleased that there was a Fourth Hokage. Learning that his granddaughter Tsunade is now the Fifth Hokage, he laughed off his apprehensions over if she is the right person to lead their village. He also learned of his younger brother's actions against the Uchiha Clan after his death and voiced his dismay towards both it and Tobirama's apparent disrespect towards Sasuke. It is not until he was addressed directly did Hashirama face Sasuke, who asked him what was the village and the purpose of shinobi.
Mulling over the question, and after hearing Sasuke declare that this would decide whether or not he sought revenge on the village, Hashirama was moved to forcefully stop his brother from attacking them, nearly collapsing the Naka Shrine in the process. Laughing off the event, Hashirama apologised before telling Sasuke that Itachi was a better shinobi even than himself.
Telling the young man that the story was a long one, Hashirama was exasperated to hear that the world was yet again plunged into another war with Madara leading the opposition. Though Orochimaru used his cells to strengthen his hold over the other reincarnated Hokage, Hashirama easily broke from his bonds while telling the wary Orochimaru that he first intended to answer Sasuke to ensure he would not end up like Madara before entering the battle. Taking a seat on the ground, Hashirama contemplated where to begin his story of his battle with Madara at the Valley of the End, and the history of their clans.
Because of the heritage of the Senju — who are direct descendants of the Sage of the Six Paths — and the kekkei genkai that he possessed, Hashirama's DNA is highly coveted. During the battle at the Valley of the End where Madara Uchiha was thought to have died, the latter took the opportunity to collect his adversary's cells, using it to create a mindless living clone that produced the artificial life forms that became the White Zetsu Army. When he was reincarnated by Kabuto, Madara revealed that he had also integrated Hashirama's cells into himself which gained him access to the Wood Release kekkei genkai and the Rinnegan.[54][55]
Orochimaru, desiring Hashirama's unique abilities, exhumed the First Hokage's body for his own experiments where he infused sixty child test subjects with cells harvested from his remains, hoping that one would prove able to use Wood Release. Only Yamato survived the process.[56] This act also provided Orochimaru with a genetic sample that he used to reincarnate Hashirama years later, before Hiruzen sealed his mentor's soul away.
Danzō Shimura, using a similar experiment to Orochimaru's, infused his right arm with Hashirama's cells, and then had ten Sharingan embedded on it. This synthesis not only allowed Danzō to access Wood Release, but also use Izanagi for extended periods, and regenerate Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan after using Kotoamatsukami within a relatively short span of time compared to the decade it would've normally taken.[57] Obito also noted that it afforded Danzō the ability to control the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.[58] Obito Uchiha, having been saved by Madara, was indirectly infused with Hashirama's DNA when the destroyed portion of the young Uchiha's body was replaced with artificial material from the living clone of Hashirama. Taking over for Madara, with the aid of the Akatsuki, Obito used the tailed beast chakra sealed within the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as well as the DNA of Yamato who was later captured, to enhance the White Zetsu army prior to the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War.[59]
But the most positive aspect of the legacy that Hashirama left behind is an ideal known as the Will of Fire, a belief held by most residents of Konohagakure. Through sharing Madara's disdain for him, Obito — while under the guise of Madara — admitted that he has a begrudging respect and admiration for Hashirama and saw Naruto Uzumaki as the heir to Hashirama's ideology while proclaiming that Sasuke Uchiha inherited their clan's hatred.[60]

He is also featured as a support-only character in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm.
- 'Hashirama' (柱間) is a Japanese word referring to the space between two pillars. This might be a play on the word 'pillar' (柱, hashira), as the Hokage is said to be the pillar that supports the village. '柱' is also the counter word for gods and buddhas.
- His face on the Hokage Monument has a crack across the bridge of the nose.[61] However, in flashbacks, no such scar is visible.[62][63] This may be due to simple damage as Hiruzen's face on the monument suffered similar damage.
- In the English dub version of the anime, his Wood Release was called "Secret Earth Jutsu" rather than "Wood Style". This was corrected in Shippūden with Yamato.
- Hashirama is the third person revealed to hold the title of "God of Shinobi" (忍の神, Shinobi no Kami), the others being Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Sage of the Six Paths, and is the second man to have gained the title since the latter's time.
- Hashirama, along with Tobirama, Minato, and the Konoha symbol, had his face appear in the ending omake of Shippūden episode 129 within the fireworks.
- In the chapter 238 a portrait of Hashirama and the other Hokage is seen, showing him using a kerchief.
- According to the databook(s):
- His hobbies were bonsai and wood sculpting.
- His desired opponent was Madara Uchiha.
- His favourite food was mushroom mixed soup.
- His favourite phrases were "The vast lands fertile" (大地豊饒, Daichi Hōjō) and "Heaven's garments are without seams" (天衣無縫, Ten'i Muhō). They refer to perfect beauty without any artificial elements.
- (To Hiruzen) "The fellow countrymen of the Konoha make up each part of my body… those of the village believe in me, and I believe in them. That's what it means to be Hokage!"[64]
- "Whenever you live, there will always be war."[65]
- (To Kurama) "Nine-Tails, your power is too great. I cannot let you roam free any longer!"[66]
- "Not doing right when you know it is right is a coward's way."[67]

Authorities say a man involved in an attack at a community college and at another location in central Wyoming that left three people dead, including himself, used a bow-and-arrow in one of the slayings and was the son of one of the victims.
Casper Police Chief Chris Walsh said Saturday that 25-year-old Christopher Krumm, of Vernon, Conn., first stabbed 42-year-old Heidi Arnold about two miles southwest of Casper College on Friday morning.
Krumm then went to the college and shot his father, 56-year-old computer science instructor James Krumm, in the head with the bow-and-arrow in front of a group of students before stabbing himself with a large knife.
Walsh says the younger Krumm smuggled the weapon into the classroom under a blanket.

May 6, 2016
After a fairly chilly start to the day, temperatures will warm up nicely this afternoon! Highs will be in the lower 70's across the area. No chance of rain for us. In fact, the sunshine will be out in full force.
Temperatures will cool off pretty quickly overnight. If you're heading to the stores early for some Black Friday deals, you'll want to bring a jacket. A blanket and some hot coffee might be helpful if you expect to wait in line! Overnight low temperatures will be falling to near 38°. Some colder areas might see some light, patchy frost.
A cold front will move through late Friday night. We won't see any rain, but temperatures will fall again this weekend. Highs on Saturday will be in the mid 60's, so it will be pretty chilly for the Florida-Florida State football game.
We could also see a light freeze Sunday morning, the first of the season. Temperatures will be dropping to the lower 30's.
Better chances of rain early next week with another cold front. For now, enjoy the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!

Types of Schizophrenia
Topic Overview
There are several types of schizophrenia. The most common type is paranoid schizophrenia.
Paranoid schizophrenia
People with paranoid schizophrenia have frightening thoughts and hear threatening voices. This causes them to act afraid or to argue with other people. Sometimes they attack other people or objects in their surroundings because they are afraid of them.
This type of schizophrenia often develops later in life than other types. People with paranoid schizophrenia often get better with treatment.
Catatonic schizophrenia
Catatonic schizophrenia is rare. It can cause odd behaviors such as:
- Sitting or standing in unusual positions (posturing).
- Allowing another person to move one's arms and legs into different positions (waxy flexibility).
- Sitting without moving for long periods of time (stupor).
- Being very active but with no purpose (catatonic excitement). During these episodes of intense activity, people with catatonic schizophrenia may injure themselves or other people.
Disorganized schizophrenia
Disorganized schizophrenia is rare but is the most serious type of schizophrenia. People who have this type have unpredictable behaviors.
They may act silly and giggle for no apparent reason. They often make up words and sentences that make no sense to other people. And they often don't show facial expressions. Disorganized schizophrenia is sometimes called hebephrenic schizophrenia.
Examples of disorganized speech include:
- Making up words (neologisms). For example: "I'm going to the park to ride the wallywhoop."
- Rhyming words (clang speech). For example: "Deck the halls with boughs of holly, folly, polly, dolly, hello Dolly, want a lollipop?"
- Saying sentences that make no sense to other people (word salad). For example: "Give paper floor me school hop bus."
- Repeating exactly what someone else has said (echolalia).
Examples of disorganized behavior include:
- Repeating the same activity (word or behavior) over and over again (perseveration).
- Repeating exactly what someone else has done (echopraxia).
- Dressing oddly, such as wearing many sets of clothing one over the other or wearing hats, gloves, and heavy coats in the summer.
- Doing things in public that are usually done only in private. Urinating on a street corner is an example.
Other types
Other types of schizophrenia include:
- Undifferentiated schizophrenia. This refers to schizophrenia in which the symptoms don't fit the other types of schizophrenia.
- Residual schizophrenia. This refers to the continued presence of symptoms of schizophrenia during a remission.

An unusual sensation (aura) may precede a temporal lobe seizure, acting as a warning. Not everyone who has temporal lobe seizures has auras, and not everyone who has auras remembers them.
The aura is actually a simple partial or focal seizure — one that doesn't impair consciousness. Examples of auras include:
Sometimes temporal lobe seizures impair your ability to respond to others (partial complex or focal dyscognitive seizures). This type of temporal lobe seizure usually lasts 30 seconds to two minutes. Characteristic signs and symptoms include:

Re: [PhreeZone] Insurance brokers warning to DZO's/Plane owners
In reply to:
I was forwarded a message from a DZO that got this letter from their insurance carrier. For years people have been talking about the fear that the FAA may make us stop doing activities, it looks like we were worrying about the wrong group stepping in since the insurance carrier that is insuring the majority of the jump fleet out there is in the position to implement restrictions to anyone that wants to keep their planes insured. Currently in the cross hairs are airplane formation takeoffs, formation flights with jumpers and wingsuiting due to the high number of tail strikes occurring. We as a community need to come together to correct these issues or we could be finding that the plane operators might need to stop allowing those activities to occur if they want to keep insured.
From: AIR, Inc
Date: September 12, 2012 8:47:55 AM PDT
Subject: WINGSUIT PROBLEMS - BROADCAST E-MAIL FROM AIR, INC.
(Seems I have a little more of a voice with respect to certain subjects than I realized. Thank you all for your feedback and responses. I always welcome comments either pro or con. I feel the more conversation I encourage, the safer I believe we all will all be.)
This e-mail contains two major points of discussion:
1. Insurance Industry considers Wingsuit and Airplane formation flight an unapproved operation.
2. The number of wing suit tail strikes show a dramatic increase. Tail strikes have to stop!
It is like my previous e-mail on formation take-offs; they look cool, pilot's love them, and they are a catastrophe waiting to happen. The same logic applies to wing suit and airplane formation flying. Our underwriter has informed me that they consider wing suit and aircraft formation flying an unapproved operation. If one of us files a hull claim that is a result of a wing suit strike from an attempted formation flight with a wing suit jumper, we are now on notice that the operator's continuing insurance coverage will be subject to termination. If you want to engage in this high risk activity then it will be at your own risk and others in the skydiving insurance group will not be subject to a rate increase due to your desire to engage in what is an unnecessary operation.
The Skydiving Industry had 11 wing suit aircraft tail strikes last year. It is really very simple math, if we don't do something to correct this problem, than we are forcing the insurance industry to do something about it. Their only means of correcting the problem is either through overall rate increases or the elimination of coverage for claims as a result of a wing suit strike. I think we can all agree that neither outcome is acceptable. Let's be a little more pro-active.
I know there is a lot of activity already with respect to standardizing and regulating wing suit jumping and there is also a lot of resistance to it's regulation. I have heard the argument that USPA does not regulate freeflying or Crew activities so why regulate wing suit jumping? I would argue that those two activities are not causing the same problem that the wing suit jumpers are causing with aircraft collisions. Let's not wait to do something until someone brings down a whole airplane as a result of wing suit jumper ripping the horizontal stabilizer right off the fuselage.
I can not tell you all what to do and I don't have the answer for you anyway. All I can do is let you know what is happening from the Insurance side of the problem. As I mentioned above, wing suit tail strikes have become a big problem from an insurance stand point and if something isn't done immediately that reduces the frequency of wing suit tail strikes than we are forcing the insurance industry to the only responses available to them. Let's make wing suit operations as safe as they can be. Let's give the insurance companies another choice!
Until I see the actual document from the insurance carrier, I take this "letter" with a grain of salt because its content is just more of the same puppy poop: A narrow-based problem (wingsuit exit tailstrikes) must be solved by the imposition of a broad-based bureaucracy or wingsuiting will be banned.
BTW, who wrote the parenthetical comment? The "insurance" guy or the DZO?
And who wrote the body of it? The "insurance" guy or the DZO? If the former, then how is it that a whuffo insurance guy writes like an experienced wingsuiter in support of instituting a new wingsuiting bureaucracy?
Finally, the writer cites concern about tailstrikes and offers evidence related thereto -- but offers no evidence or other reasons why formation takeoffs, which have been conducted for
without incident, are lumped together with this relatively new activity, the tailstrike problems of which are related not at all to formation takeoffs.
Let's see a scan of the real letter.
Let's see the name of the actual insurance industry person who sent it, with contact information.
And the name of the DZO who passed it on.
Then we can discuss.
Otherwise, this "letter" needs to be flushed with the rest of the poop.

So I just woke up this morning and said to myself "maybe I should try making a square foot garden."
Some of my clients would ask me about this and to their dismay I would often reply "no, I can't do this."
Square foot gardening can be pretty awesome, but also difficult if you plan to make it successful.
So, tell me how it goes for you if you've tried the instructions on this infographic.
Here's a pleasant surprise. The entire thing can be done with just £34 max. Awesome, right?

NEW PORT RICHEY, Florida -- You could hear it hiss from across the street.
A 6-foot gator doesn't like being poked and prodded, but when a trapper brings in the noose, it's on like Donkey Kong.
See Also: Deputy wrangles 10-foot gator in Palm Harbor
Craig Snyder's mom was startled by a scaly visitor in the carport. "Most of his body was under the table. As she kicks this back, he whips his tail out to hit her," said Snyder.
And that's all it takes for his mom to scram. Craig calls a trapper and the fight is on. "When the trapper pulled the snare, he knocked these old clubs down and the gator grabbed onto the golf bag instantly."
From there, the trapper drags the gator out onto the lawn. The problem? Getting the gator to unhook its jaws from the golf bag. Until that happens, it can't be wrangled. Both Craig and the trapper use poles to pry the gator's jaws open to release the bag, but that is easier said than done. After several tries, success, and all that's left is the formalities.
"I love gators. I've seen them on TV hundreds of times. I think they're amazing. Always wanted to have that kind of interaction, and here it is happening in my own house."

If you let me know how many squares your image is I can fire up another one. Does .png work to import as a layer into GIMP?
I'm looking forward to seeing how this map develops by the way!
