Thanks for the review, guys!
This was my first real Foundry mission and I learned a lot during the process. Since I wrote this one, I've been playing other Foundry missions and picking up tips and tricks for improving the stories that I want to tell.
The toughest part of the Foundry, from what I can tell, is actually getting people to play and rate your missions after making them! That's why I really appreciate the work you guys do in getting information out to players about what they should check out in the Foundry.
Thanks again!

Lady Athene,
Savage park was my first thought. It offers privacy of sorts and a pavillion. The other side of the coin would to hold it in a VERY public space such as Centennial Park. The fees associated are less then $300 for the largest pavillion (which I do not forsee needing), I plan to go
What a lovely idea! I have a set although one mallet may be distressed..
We are pretty busy, so I will have to see about actual time. (My son already tends to be double booked on Saturdays.) Sundays would probably work better in general for us.
I'm not sure if there are any good greens - other than the courses where we would be driven off by irate golfers. Centennial Park has some nice open green spaces, although I can't vouch for the quality of the grass. A lot of the County parks are booked with athletic events on the weekend, so Cedar Lane and Schooley Mill probably wouldn't be too relaxing.
Savage Park might be easier for people coming from the south or east, but I do not have a good mental image of their facilities.
Question to the group:
Would there be any interest in a weekend afternoon gathering? Say a picnic with croquette? Somewhere in the Howard County area?
Feedback please.
I will be there, but will be dressed according to an earlier century's piratical theme.
I will keep my eye on the horizon for your airships. Do not fear if you are accosted by a blond woman in a tricorn. I will not be armed.
We plan to attend sometime in the next few weeks. We had planned to wait to wear such fine clothes til the appointed day (assuming they will do the same as last year). A great many of our Co - workers came out in their finest provided by my Lovely Wife and I: this year we have even more interest!
Lady MacGregor and I have attended the MD Ren Faire twice this year, but we have been cleverly disguised to blend in with the locals. Unfortunately, we have plans for this weekend and will be unable to attend. If there is going to be a larger scale outing later in the season, I might be able to attend in my steamy garb.
Will anyone be attending the MD Ren Faire this year? My wife friends and I are planning on going tomorrow in steam attire.
I should very much appreciate if the members of the guild should read my screed " On the Nature and Elements of Steampunk: A Manifesto of Sorts. in the general section of the forum. I should very much appreciate your comments, additions, and opinions.
And Major I have considerable interest in Bartitsu and would love to correspond with you on the subject.
Greetings all. And Major Myers, Im up in the Westminster area.

By Andrew Osborn, Reuters
Gently bobbing up and down in the sheltered waters of the Bay of Sevastopol in Crimea, Russia's storied Black Sea Fleet has an air of decay about it.
Paint peels from low-slung dockside buildings, a solitary submarine sits dolefully alongside a pontoon, and the fleet's boxy grey ships date back to the Soviet-era with many soon destined for the scrap heap.
But appearances can be deceptive. The fleet, its base, and the sprawling military infrastructure that go with it, are vital to Russian President Vladimir Putin's military and geopolitical ambitions and one of the main reasons the Kremlin is now eyeing complete control of Crimea.
Nor will the fleet be outdated for much longer. It is soon to be restocked with billions of dollars worth of hardware. Lee Willett, editor of Jane's Navy International, said six new submarines and six new frigates were scheduled for delivery in the next few years.
It is also expected to take delivery of other vessels such as the giant Mistral helicopter carrier, currently being built in France, as well as new attack aircraft.
For Russia, the fleet and its Sevastopol base are a guarantor of its southern borders and a platform for projecting power into the Black Sea and from there into the Mediterranean. Its base is also a docking point for Russian oil tankers bound for the Bosporus and the fleet will be tasked with protecting Russia's South Stream gas pipeline once it is finished.
Russian analysts say Putin's decision to intervene in Ukraine was in large part driven by his desire to safeguard the Sevastopol base as he feared the country's new government would cancel a lease deal allowing the fleet to stay until 2042.
"Putin had every reason to think that would happen," said Fyodor Lukyanov, editor of the Moscow-based Russia in Global Affairs journal. "The new government in Ukraine wants to move closer to the European Union and NATO. Their agenda would have meant the fleet would have to leave."
Emotional Significance
Such a withdrawal, from a base that carries huge emotional and symbolic significance for Russians because of Sevastopol's role in the Crimean War and World War Two, would have been a serious geopolitical defeat for Putin, said Lukyanov.
It would also have left Moscow without a viable Black Sea naval base.
First purloined by Russia at the end of the eighteenth century by Empress Catherine the Great, Sevastopol's deep water port, sheltered bay, and the fact that it never freezes over, make it the best natural harbour in the Black Sea.
Russia's only alternative, its port at Novorossiysk, is buffeted by winds, is sometimes forced to shut because of bad weather, and would need billions of dollars of investment to house the Black Sea Fleet.
If Crimea, as seems likely, opts to become part of Russia in the face of opposition from the West and from the Ukrainian government, the Black Sea Fleet and its around 16,000 servicemen will become even more important.
Experts say the fleet currently has around 40 frontline warships including a submarine, two cruisers, a destroyer, eight frigates, 11 corvettes and attack craft, nine mine warfare vessels and eight amphibious ships which can be used to insert troops anywhere in the region. It also has a naval aviation arm.
Better Days
All agree the fleet has seen better days.
"Putin has used the fleet regularly in the Mediterranean to show that Russia is still a world power," said Willett of Jane's Navy International. "But it's always the same two or three ships, such as the fleet's flagship Moskva, or the destroyer Smetlivy. That suggests that only a small number of the fleet's assets are in service."
Operational or not, its commanders actively deploy what they have.
Some of its ships took part in the Russia-Georgia war in 2008, others have been used to deliver equipment to Moscow's ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and some have been involved in anti-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia.
The fleet has played an important role in the Ukrainian crisis so far, blockading Ukrainian navy vessels in the port of Sevastopol so that they can't set sail, and scuttling a ship to block the entrance to a Ukrainian naval base further along the Black Sea coast.
Ukrainian military officials also believe the fleet helped bring in extra Russian troops from Sochi after they finished providing security for the winter Olympics there.
One of four fleets operated by Russia, the Black Sea Fleet dwarfs the Ukrainian navy in size and firepower since it inherited around four fifths of the Soviet navy's ships in the region when the USSR collapsed in 1991, with the Ukrainians getting the rest.
The fleet and its base have given Moscow an important bridgehead in Ukraine since the Soviet collapse with officers from Russia's FSB security service actively working there.
Former pro-Western Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko wanted the fleet to leave Sevastopol because he said it was an agent of instability.
Ukrainian critics say Russia has for years used the fleet to wage a propaganda and intelligence war to promote separatist sentiment in Crimea and to counter what it sees as hostile Ukrainian meddling.
The fleet has used its own newspaper, Flag of the Motherland, and its own TV production studio which makes programmes for local channels, to wage that war, they say.
But local residents in Sevastopol, many of whom are related to current or past Russian servicemen, say they cannot imagine the fleet anywhere else.
"Sevastopol was created for the Russian fleet," said Yulia, a 44-year-old housewife, helping pro-Russian activists blockade the Ukrainian navy's headquarters.
"Sevastopol without the fleet would just be a bit of land. The fleet is Sevastopol. Where would the fleet go if not Sevastopol?"
Under an agreement with Ukraine, Russia cannot base more than 25,000 men in Sevastopol and must negotiate with the Ukrainians if it wants to add new ships.
The advent of a Kremlin-controlled Crimea would allow Russia to expand and modernise the fleet as it wished.
"The Ukrainians were dragging their feet in talks about modernising the fleet," said Pavel Felgenhauer, a Moscow-based defence expert. "But if Russia gobbles up Crimea it can do what it wants".
A spokesman for the fleet said he was unable to comment "on anything" at the moment, while officers approached in Sevastopol declined to discuss the fleet's work.
Vladimir Anatolyevich, a retired captain 3rd class who served on the Soviet Union's nuclear submarines and who declined to give his surname, said the fleet would be safer if Crimea became part of Russia.
"Almost everyone in Crimea wants to become part of the Russian Federation," he said. "I just hope Russia doesn't now betray us and reject us."

A catalog of quick closed-form bounds on set intersection and union sizes is presented; they can be expressed as rules, and managed by a rule-based system architecture. These methods use a variety of statistics precomputed on the data, and exploit homomorphisms (onto mappings) of the data items onto distributions that can be more easily analyzed. The methods can be used anytime, but tend to work best when there are strong or complex correlations in the data. This circumstance is poorly handled by the standard independence-assumption and distributional-assumption estimates

Pumas hoping to capitalise on home advantage
ESPN Staff
August 20, 2012
Marcell Coetzee bagged South Africa's second try in Cape Town © Getty Images
Argentina take on South Africa in Mendoza on Saturday and the Pumas will hope that home advantage can help them register a first win in the fixture.
Last weekend saw Santiago Phelan's side make their Rugby Championship bow in Cape Town, where the Springboks ran out 27-6 victors thanks to tries from Zane Kirchner, Marcell Coetzee and Bryan Habana.
Prior to that, the sides met most recently in 2008, when South Africa ran in nine tries in a 63-9 victory at Ellis Park, although the travelling side that day was far from full-strength.
The most important meeting in their 14-match history and came at the 2007 Rugby World Cup. South Africa prevailed 37-13 thanks to a Bryan Habana brace to book their place in the final - where they defeated England.
The teams first met in 1993 - although the South American Jaguars were regular visitors to South Africa during their sporting isolation - when the Springboks prevailed 29-26 in Buenos Aires.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Noted libertarian's speech earns standing O
OTTAWA -- America's foremost libertarian, Ron Paul, received a standing ovation Friday from Canadian conservatives gathered for an annual conference, after a speech that advocated the abolition of central banks, income tax and social programs.
But on the sidelines of the networking conference, sponsored by the Manning Centre for Building Democracy, some Tories noted Paul's views were disconnected from the more moderate Canadian conservative movement and the nation in general.
A survey released at the conference indicated Canadians still count on government to handle the economy.
"We're not Americans in that sense -- (Canadians) regard government as a positive force," said longtime conservative pollster André Turcotte, adding the public is looking for more innovative ways of service delivery.
Few Conservative parliamentarians attended Paul's morning speech, in which he encapsulated his views on the primacy of individual liberty and the problems with current economic models -- all centred on the concept of government getting out of the way of people's lives and the free market.
Paul -- formerly a Republican leadership candidate and congressman -- is an opponent of centralized monetary policy, government support for industry, federal social programs and the regulation of illicit drugs. At home, he has advocated for the abolition of the federal health and education departments.
"Wouldn't it be correct to assume that the fruits of your labour are also yours to keep?" Paul said, interrupted by applause.
"My goodness, that would be a challenging thought. What does that mean? There wouldn't be any income tax? That's right, we wouldn't have income taxes because it would be your money.
"Then everyone would start worrying, then, how would you pay for the government? Well, why don't we have a lot less government and we wouldn't have to worry about that. That's what I'd like."
Preston Manning, the former Reform party leader and host of the conference, later asked Paul questions, but did not challenge his views. Much of the conference agenda was dominated by guests associated with the more libertarian Reform party-Canadian Alliance side of the Tory family.
But the current Conservative government under Stephen Harper has heavily branded its stimulus project -- the Economic Action Plan -- as the cornerstone of the government's agenda. Its skills programs, funding for seniors and snowmobile clubs and various industrial subsidies would appear antithetical to Paul's non-interventionist policies.
Alberta Premier Alison Redford won last year's provincial election with a firmly progressive-conservative approach, defeating the favourite of the Reform-Alliance camp, the Wildrose party's Danielle Smith.
Harper himself, at a speech to the conference in 2009, explored the weaknesses of dogmatic allegiance to libertarianism, and ignoring the "realities of real people."
"The libertarian says, 'Let individuals exercise full freedom and take full responsibility for their actions.' The problem with this notion is that people who act irresponsibly in the name of freedom are almost never willing to take responsibility for their actions," Harper said at the time.
Manning attributed the exuberant response to Paul's speech as evidence that conservatives are willing to explore tough questions.
"What you should observe from this conference is that conservatives are not afraid of self-examination," Manning said.
"We don't just have conferences to self-congratulate ourselves on previously established positions, which I would argue is the dominant characteristic of the Liberal leadership conference right now."
Former cabinet minister Chuck Strahl said another conference panel that featured a debate between a "red" and "blue" Tory over degrees of government intervention was more relevant than Paul's speech.
"I always love that people are allowed to speak their mind. That doesn't mean I have to agree with it, and I don't," Strahl said.

One of my favorite memories of Louisiana road trips is a stay at the rustic and authentic Bayou Cabins.
They are right on the Bayou Teche in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana (a couple of hours west of New Orleans) and have been run for years by friendly Rocky and Lisa Sonnier.
Our stay included sampling fresh boudin (a special sausage) plus cracklins and homemade root beer upon arrival, an enormous breakfast the next morning, dinner and live Cajun music down the road at Mulate's and an excellent, eco-conscious guided Atchafalaya swamp boat tour in a shallow-draft crawfish skiff with an experienced local company, Champagne Swamp Tours.
We never made it to some other local attractions like the Zydeco Breakfast (every Saturday morning 8:30 am to 11:30 am at Cafe des Amis) but there's always next time.
The tourism blog for St. Martin Parish, which includes Breaux Bridge, indicates that most places are quite open for business and would appreciate your support. Some lodging is full with Texas evacuees, but certainly not all.
Curious about how the Bayou Cabins had fared, I called them up this morning and spoke with Rocky Sonnier. He reports:
"We are open here. With Gustav, we had some big trees fall on a couple of the cabins, 2-4000 pound big ones, but they didn't even dent the tin roof. I think the wind was keeping them up, you know. With Ike, the water was already up in the bayou [Teche] of course, but we didn't get the rain so we're OK. We're really blessed on this end."
Rocky said that unfortunately, Mulate's roof was torn off and their dance floor and office were damaged, so it will be a few weeks before they reopen.
Meantime, eat at Prejeans, the Blue Dog Cafe or Randol's in Lafayette, or at Cafe des Amis.
At the end of our conversation, Rocky said, "We thank you for calling, chère" and I felt all fuzzy.
You won't find a more hospitable country anywhere than Cajun Country, so pay them a visit.
(….and bring me back some of Rocky's cracklins!)

Dilemma: They keep asking you to sit…then don't pay you.
Solution: Write down the dates and hours you didn't get paid and, when you sit for them again, remind them of the balance. They say they don't have enough cash on them? Offer up, "No problem. You can give me a check." Next time they call say, "I'd be happy to sit for you, but I need to get paid at the end of the night."
Dilemma: Their kids are monsters, and you never want to sit them again.
Solution: No need to tell the parents their children make sitting through an evening of speaker feedback and chalk-screeching seem like a walk in the park. If a few shots of, "Sorry, I'm busy that night!" don't do the trick, use the old, "My schedule's really tough this year, so I won't be babysitting anymore."
Dilemma: The parents are drunk, and they're supposed to drive you home.
Solution: No way you're getting in the car with someone whose breath could knock you over. Simply say, "My dad wants to pick me up tonight…he needs to talk to me about something." March over to the phone before they can object. A quick, "Dad? It's time for you to come get me," should give your 'rents the hint.
Dilemma: They keep asking you to do stuff that's not part of the deal.
Solution: Picking up the kids' toys is one thing…folding all the laundry or cooking a four-course dinner is another. If not-my-job stuff happens every time, firmly say, "I know you need help, but I feel like this is a little outside of the babysitting box. If you would like me to do housework, we'll need to adjust how much I get paid."

Family Reunions Are a Great Time to Find Out Your Family History of Eye Disease
Having a family history of eye disease can put you at a higher risk for developing one yourself. But, do you know if anyone in your family has ever had an eye disease? Family reunions are a great time to find out.
Glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and other eye diseases can be genetic. For example, having a family member with glaucoma makes you four to nine times more likely to be struck with the disease, which can cause blindness if left untreated. So, it's important to know your family history and share that information with your ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.). During family reunions, ask your relatives, "Does anyone in our family have glaucoma, macular degeneration or cataracts? What about other eye diseases?" Be sure to tell your family members if you have an eye disease.
If you do have a family history of eye disease, it's a good idea to schedule an eye exam. Talk to your ophthalmologist about your family's history of eye disease. And don't be tempted to undergo genetic testing for eye disease until you have discussed it with your Eye M.D. That way, you and your doctor can take the appropriate preventive steps to minimize your risk and save your sight.
If you are age 65 and older or have a family history of glaucoma, you might even qualify for a free eye exam through EyeCare America. To see if you or a loved one is eligible, visit the online referral center.
