General Discussion
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects women and is a complex of symptoms that are not necessarily all present in all cases. Some, but not all, affected women have multiple cysts on the ovaries (polycystic ovaries). Other characteristics include the absence of menstruation (amenorrhea) or irregular menstruation, failure of the ovary to release eggs (anovulation), elevated levels of the male hormones known as androgens (hyperandrogenism), excessive amounts of body hair (hirsutism), a high rate of miscarriage, and infertility. Three criteria often used for a diagnosis are menstrual irregularity, hyperandrogenism, and exclusion of other disease. There is some evidence that PCOS is an inherited condition.

The Tillers are the hardworking farmers of Pandaria. They are based at Halfhill[54, 47] in the Valley of the Four Winds.
Players working with the Tillers can sow seed and harvest crops on their own farm. The crops can then be used in [Cooking], sold on the auction house, traded to other players, or traded for meat and fish. Rare seeds can yield other interesting things as well, even a rare pet.
Players can also gain reputation with the various members of the Tillers within the Valley, by giving them gifts. They give gifts in turn.
The Tillers quartermaster is Gina Mudclaw[53.2, 51.6], located at the Halfhill Market.
Some of the more notable rewards purchasable from the Tillers are the Riding Goat mounts, which require the player to be Exalted.

Crews from the N.C. Department of Transportation are set to survey damage to any additional damage to N.C. Highway 12 stemming from the nor'easter that formed off the coast.
The crews will begin fully assessing the damage from the nor'easter Thursday morning. Once the assessment is complete, the department says it will have a better idea of the extent of the damage the storm caused and how it will affect the completion of the repairs already under way.
N.C. 12 was damaged by Superstorm Sandy and repairs had begun when the latest storm came through.
The nor'easter brought rain, wind and flooding Wednesday to parts of the Outer Banks already hard hit by Sandy, and likely caused additional damage along N.C. 12 in Dare County.

The New Medicare Drug Plan and Beneficiaries With Mental Illness
On December 8, 2003, President Bush signed into law the Medicare Modernization Act – a new law expanding the Medicare program to offer coverage for outpatient prescription drugs. While few of the new law's provisions apply solely to Medicare beneficiaries living with mental illness, the expanded coverage includes many changes that will impact the way Medicare is able to pay for mental illness treatment. The following are commonly asked questions and answers about the how the new law will affect beneficiaries with mental illness (both elderly and non-elderly Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries).

Representatives Cardin and Ramstad Introduce Legislation to Ensure Coverage of Benzodiazepines
NAMI urges support for legislation to ensure that the upcoming Medicare drug benefit offers coverage for medications commonly prescribed to treat anxiety disorders and acute mania in bipolar disorder.
The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) that created the upcoming Medicare drug benefit includes a provision creating a class of medications that must be excluded from Part D coverage. Included in this exclusion are benzodiazepines that are commonly prescribed to treat acute mania in bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders. In NAMI's view, it was unfortunate that this inequitable exclusion was ever included in the law. In fact, the exclusion was based on a reference to an optional coverage exclusion added to the state-federal Medicaid program in 1990. NAMI is still working with officials at CMS to narrow the scope of this exclusion to make coverage available for clinically appropriate uses of benzodiazepines.
States Will Be Able to Cover Benzodiazepines for Dual Eligibles
In guidance sent to state Medicaid agencies on June 3, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) clarified that states will be able to receive federal Medicaid matching funds if they elect to supplement the Medicare drug benefit and cover benzodiazepines. This will help ensure that persons concurrently eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid (so-called dual eligibles) will be able to get coverage of benzodiazepines. Click here to see a copy of this CMS guidance.
MMA FAQs
When will the new drug coverage program go into effect?
The new drug benefit goes into effect on January 1, 2006. It is a voluntary program and will be administered by federally-approved private plans that offer insurance coverage for the cost of prescription drugs. Beginning in May 2004, an interim drug discount card will be available for Medicare beneficiaries. These cards will offer 10 to 15% discounts on prescriptions. Discounts on the purchase of a card will be available for most low-income beneficiaries. More information on the interim drug discount card is available at: http://www.medicare.gov/maddc/home.asp
How much will the new Medicare drug benefit cost?
It is estimated that the new Medicare drug benefit (also known as Part D) will have premiums of $35 per month in the first year (2006) – based on the enrollee's choice of plan. There will also be a $250 annual deductible (which will indexed each year). Additionally, there will be cost sharing of 25% above the deductible, up to the coverage limit of $2,250. Above this $2,250 coverage limit, benefits will cease, up to the point that costs exceed the $3,600 "stop loss" threshold (applied to out-of-pocket spending). This gap in coverage is known as the "doughnut hole." Above the $3,600 "stop loss" limit, catastrophic coverage will begin with Medicare with enrollees paying the greater of 5% coinsurance or $2 generics/$5 brand drugs.
Why is the new Medicare drug benefit limited?
Congress and the Bush Administration agreed in advance to limit the overall cost of any new drug benefit to $400 billion over the next decade. This restriction on overall spending meant that Congress was not able to develop a plan that would meet every beneficiaries' drug coverage need. The structure of the new program therefore favors several priorities:
Are subsidies available for low-income beneficiaries?
Yes. According the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), $192 billion is included in the new law to extend coverage to the 14 million Medicare beneficiaries at or below 150% of poverty. For those at or below 100% of poverty (about $9,000 for individuals and $12,000 for couples), there will be no monthly premiums, no annual deductible and no gaps in coverage (i.e., the "doughnut hole"). The only cost will be minimal cost-sharing ($1 for a generic and $3 for a brand name prescription medication), cost sharing would be waived for persons residing in institutions.
For those beneficiaries between 100% and 135% of poverty there will be no premium and co-payments will be limited to $3 for a generic and $5 for a brand name prescription medication. All beneficiaries below 135% of poverty would be subject to an asset limit of $6,000 for individuals and $9,000 for a couple (indexed to inflation). Like the current Medicaid asset test, this will exclude a residence and an automobile. It is expected that most Medicaid beneficiaries would meet these income and asset restrictions.
For beneficiaries between 100% and 150% of poverty ($13,500 for singles, $18,000 for couples), there will be sliding scale premiums (expected to be between $0 and $35), an annual deductible no higher than $50 and 15% coinsurance. These individuals would also have to meet a $10,000/$20,000 asset test single/couple, indexed to inflation. Above the $3,600 catastrophic out-of-pocket limit, cost sharing would then be limited to $2 for a generic, $5 for a brand name prescription medication.
What happens if I am "dually eligible" for both Medicare and Medicaid?
The new law assumes that low-income persons dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid will get their drug coverage through Medicare. In fact, coverage of prescription drugs under state Medicaid programs will end for dual eligibles on January 1, 2006, thereby requiring them sign up for the new program. However, eligibility for all other Medicaid services will continue for dual elgibles. It is important to note that drug coverage is still optional for state Medicaid programs and that these low-income Medicare beneficiaries will have access to a new federal entitlement - without restrictions on coverage and access that states have been imposing in recent years. As noted above, this new Medicare drug benefit will be available for dual eligibles with no premium, no deductible, no gaps in coverage and minimal cost sharing. Finally, this shift of drug coverage for dual eligibles to Medicare will result in an estimated net savings of $17.2 billion over the next 10 years for states (helping to further ease the strain in state Medicaid programs).
Will there be restrictive formularies or restrictions on access to specific medications?
Probably. It is expected that most health plans that participate in the new Medicare drug program will impose some type of formulary or pre-approved list of limited drugs within each therapeutic class (e.g., atypical antipsychotic medications). The new law does, however, contain significant standards and limitations on the ability of Medicare drug plans to impose such restrictions:
Will there be special assistance for Medicare beneficiaries with mental illnesses or other mental impairments?
Yes. The new law requires the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish a new Office of Beneficiary Assistance and a Medicare Beneficiary Ombudsman program. This new Ombudsman program will charged with advocating for interests of vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries with mental disabilities – including severe mental illness. In addition, the legislative report accompanying the final Medicare bill contains the following directive to CMS:
"It is the intent of the Conferees that Medicare beneficiaries have real, unimpeded access to prescription drugs for the treatment of mental illness and neurological diseases resulting in severe epileptic episodes under the new provisions of Part D. To fulfill this purpose, the Administrator of the Center for Medicare Choices shall issue regulations before the first open enrollment period to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries have open, unimpeded access to pharmaceutical treatments for mental illness, including but not limited to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorder, dementia, and attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and neurological illnesses resulting in epileptic episodes."
What position did NAMI take on passage of the Medicare drug bill in Congress?
NAMI offered cautious support for this legislation – not as the "perfect" Medicare drug benefit, but as an important step forward in filling a major gap in the Medicare program. NAMI's letter to Congressional leaders and a more detailed explanation of NAMI's position can be found at:
NAMI Position on Medicare Conference Report

Two Americans were murdered this week because they chose careers that some people don't approve of.
On the list of ridiculous reasons to kill somebody, this ranks right beside "hey, he looked at me funny."In America, at least so far as I understand this country's values, a person ought to be able to pick a profession and, so long as it's legal, not have to worry overmuch about getting shot by some lunatic who dislikes the source of the income.
And so it seems to me that a chill wind has blown across our land since Dr. George Tiller and Army Pvt. William Long were slain.
This is the sort of gusty weather that persuades people to keep their heads down — and their opinions to themselves — lest someone with a rifle take offense.
I have nothing against solid shelter. But I prefer to seek its refuge not because I fear for my life but because I don't want to get soaked by a storm.
The murders of Tiller and Long constitute a rare confluence of violence and politics.
Tiller performed third-trimester abortions in Kansas.
The man charged with murdering Tiller, Scott Roeder, despised abortion, according to his former wife.
Long volunteered to recruit soldiers.
His accused killer, Abdulhakim Muhammad, is a Muslim convert who told police he wanted to "kill as many people in the Army as he could because of what they had done to Muslims in the past" — including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Put simply, this pair of murders highlights two of the more polarizing issues in America today: abortion and the war against terrorism.
This isn't necessarily a problem.
In fact the tragedies and their implications could lead Americans to engage in thoughtful, reasonable debates about these complicated and intensely personal topics.
Except what the murders seem to have spawned is quite the opposite — a flurry of inane political posturing by pundits who cast the blame for these senseless acts at their ideological foes rather than at Roeder and Muhammad.
And they are the only two people on the planet who deserve to be accused (neither, of course, has been convicted).
In Tiller's case, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly has been implicated, it seems to me, as a sort of accomplice to Roeder. O'Reilly's sin, as it were, is that he said many times before the murder, and in the blunt way which is his trademark, that he thought Tiller's earning millions of dollars performing late-term abortions was a despicable business.
It seems not to matter that O'Reilly, the day after Tiller was killed, condemned the murder and acknowledged that Tiller broke no laws.
By criticizing Tiller on his TV program O'Reilly had, according to this ludicrous theory, enticed zealots such as Roeder to pull the trigger.
This is nonsense — as nonsensical, in fact, as suggesting, as some people have, that war protesters somehow encouraged Muhammad.
By that standard, the Beatles should have been brought up on charges for the Manson murders.
What troubles me about the allegations which have followed the Tiller and Long murders is that they sully what I think is one of America's finer attributes — that you can say you think a person is a wretch without having intellectual lightweights conflate your opinion into a summons for homicidal maniacs.
Perhaps I'm hopelessly naive, but I still believe that most Americans understand that not every person who chastises abortionists thinks abortionists deserve to die, nor that every war protester hopes Muslims will kill American soldiers.
In any case, the people who endeavor to advance their cause by linking O'Reilly or the ACLU to the likes of Roeder or Muhammad achieve nothing, it seems to me, but the dubious distinction of having used the spilled blood of innocents as political fodder.

In this chapter, references to the "operating-differential subsidy program" are substituted for references to "part A of subchapter VI of this chapter", meaning 46 App. U.S.C. 1171–1185a, because part A of subchapter VI contains the operating-differential subsidy program and under 46 App. U.S.C. 1185a that program is being phased out. Consequently, part A is being omitted from the revised title and will instead appear as a note under section 53101, except for 46 App. U.S.C. 1177 and 1177–l which are restated in chapter 535. References to "chapter 575 of this title" are substituted for references to "subchapter VII of this chapter", meaning 46 App. U.S.C. 1191–1205, because those sections are restated in chapter 575.
In subsection (b), the words "A person may apply to the Secretary of Transportation for a waiver of subsection (a). Before deciding on the waiver, the Secretary shall give the applicant and other interested persons an opportunity for a hearing." are substituted for "without the written permission of the Secretary of Transportation. Every person, firm, or corporation having any interest in such application shall be permitted to intervene and the Secretary of Transportation shall give a hearing to the applicant and the intervenors." for clarity.
In subsection (c), the words "domestic intercoastal or coastwise trade" are substituted for "domestic, intercoastal, or coastwise trade" for consistency in the section.

There have been a slew of Saturday Night Live alumni that haven't accomplished much of anything after they departed from the long-running late night show. For every Tina Fey or Eddie Murphy, there have been countless cast members whose careers stalled. Fey's good friend and sometime collaborator Amy Poehler, has had tremendous success with her hit show Parks and Recreation. I just love this show for its bumbling characters and madcap storylines, all of which center around the Parks and Recreation Department in the fictional city of Pawnee, Indiana. Longtime fans of the show The Office will recognize many similarities between the two series, including how the show is formatted, filmed and narrated. Here's to hoping that the quirky, smart plotlines continue to stay fresh and hilarious.

Authorities say a Georgia man unleashed his two pit bulls on a neighbor's pet pig that got loose in a mobile home park, then stabbed the animal 15 to 20 times in front of children and other onlookers.
David Ehsanipoor, a spokesman for the Effingham County Sheriff's Office, says the pig survived and was in critical condition at a veterinarian's office Friday.
The owner of the dogs, 23-year-old Benjamin Fullwood, was charged Wednesday with felony cruelty to animals, criminal trespass and obstruction of a law enforcement officer. It wasn't immediately clear if Fullwood had a lawyer.
The man's bond was set at $25,000 Friday. A judge ordered him to have no contact with domestic animals.
Ehsanipoor says Fullwood initially told deputies he punched the pig. But he says deputies determined the pig had been stabbed.

Give Me Liberty is the first storyline mission of Grand Theft Auto III. It is given to protagonist Claude by explosives expert 8-Ball from the Callahan Bridge, Portland Island, Liberty City. The mission serves as the opening sequence that the player controls.
Mission Description
After the previous attack took place, Claude and 8-Ball need to make a hasty escape before the law enforcement made their way to the now damaged bridge. Luckly, there is a car that is in healthy condition. 8-Ball explains that his hands hurt to much from the hand cuffs for him to drive. So Claude gets behind the wheel and drives the players to the Red Light District that 8-Ball told him about and away from the cops that happened to show up seconds after both men drive off.
Once they reach the area, both men change into a more civilan outfit to hide their identity from the cops. When they hope back into the car, 8-Ball informs Claude of this cat from way back and is also connected, which means that 8-Ball could put in a good word for Claude to get him some work.
When they arrive at a strip club called Luigi's Sex Club Seven, 8-Ball and Claude head to the back and use the service door. This is when the next mission takes place.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get in the car
- Drive to the hideout
- Head over to Luigi's Club
The Portland Safehouse will be unlocked and completion of the mission immediately unlocks the Luigi's Girls mission for Luigi Goterelli.
- Between the beginning of the mission and "Last Requests", the player can in fact cross the damaged Callahan Bridge to gain access to both Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale early. See Callahan Bridge Exploits for more details.
- The player can exploit this mission to allow the player character to don the orange Liberty State Penitentiary jumpsuit outside the mission. Requiring a saved game, the player must first load it then then start a new game. Once the cutscenes preceding the mission are over, the player must then load the saved game again, allowing the player character to appear in the jumpsuit in the saved game. By wearing the outfit, the cheat code allowing the player character to assume the appearance of random pedestrian characters is useless as long as the player doesn't save the game. Otherwise, the jumpsuit remains as the player character's outfit permanently.
- After some time has passed, a pair of LCPD police cars respond to the distress signal and will drive up the bridge, obviously too late to save the convoy. However, upon closer inspection, the police cars will just stop at the damaged part of the bridge, and the officers inside will not do anything. Even if you ram their vehicles, run in front of them repeatedly showing your prison jumpsuit, or obtain a weapon and attack the vehicle, you will not get the usual wanted level. It is even possible, with a larger vehicle, to ram the police cars into the gap on the destroyed bridge.
- If you fail this mission, the opening scene replays, instead of either taking you back to the hideout, hospital, or police station.
- The burning wreckage consists of an LCPD Enforcer turned over on its side, and a wrecked Mafia Sentinel. However, a Mafia Sentinel was not part of the convoy and was not seen when the Colombians attacked. Also, as the GTA III physics engine does not permit cars to be turned over on its side, the cars will either be right side up or upside down. Strangely, standing in the flames of the destroyed cars will not burn Claude.
- The mission title is a reference to Patrick Henry's famous words "Give me liberty or give me death!".
- Oddly, in the mission 8-Ball states that his hands are "all messed up", but seemed to have no difficulty punching the policeman after the members of the cartel had left and, shortly after making the statement opening a car door. Also, one wonders how he could change his clothes in this state.
- The mission's name is a triple entendre, as "give me liberty" is a synonym of "give me freedom", referencing Claude and 8-Ball's escape from the prison escort, "give me Liberty" could also be said as the game then takes place in Liberty City, and finally, as mentioned before, the name is a reference to Patrick Henry's famous words.
- During the mission, the player is absent of gaining wanted levels, but only for the first two in-game hours (until 6:00AM).
- Non-chronologically, this is the first storyline mission in the GTA III Era.
- In the beta, the car you were meant to drive was a Beamer (see gallery).

- "Their leader was a wizard called Gideon Flatworthy, whom the Daily Prophet famously called 'less a wizard, more a lazy walrus-like object who lies all day on a rather smelly cushion, and expects people to admire him for it'."
- —Miranda Goshawk introduces Flatworthy in her wizarding play on the Summoning Charm in Book of Spells.[src]
Gideon Flatworthy (d. 18 September, 1743) was a wizard and an anti-Muggle extremist. He led the anti-Muggle gang, the Accionites.[1]
Early life
Little is known of his early life. He was born in Europe, as it is known that he had an account in Gringotts Wizarding Bank but did not use it as he was too lazy.
Later life
After learning the magical arts, he formed the Accionites, a gang of anti-muggle activists who mostly just sat around and did nothing. When they ran out of gold, instead of going to Gringotts to get more he instead summoned several valuable goblin-made artifacts. The goblins who had created them came to the Accionites' headquarters, brandishing swords angrily and "baying for the Accionites' blood".[1]
Death and post-mortem
After disapparating twice to avoid the goblins and being abandoned by his gang, he tried to summon a farm, some livestock, and a well-stocked larder. He was crushed to death by the bales of hay and cattle that landed on top of him. Experts are uncertain why he did this (they still debate about it) although the most common theory is that he became delirious from lack of food.[1] Sometime after he died, Miranda Goshawk published his story in her Book of Spells, in a wizarding play about the Summoning Charm.
Physical appearance
He was extremely overweight from having lain on a pile of cushions most of his adult life, and wore a golden crown with blue robes. Flatworthy also had an extremely thin moustache. [1]
Magical abilities and skills
- Disapparating: Flatworthy disapparated at least twice in his life, with great success, whilst being attacked by a horde of angry goblins.[1]
- Charms: Flatworthy was an expert at the Summoning Charm, having cast it multiple times in his life (this was because he believed himself to be above lifting and carrying things non-magically).[1]

AWFS Fair delivers innovative tools and products
Despite what we all know are tough economic times, many tool and woodworking-product manufacturers continue to bring new and innovative tools to the market. I got to see many of these first-hand the past few days at the Association of Woodworking and Furnishings Suppliers Fair in Las Vegas, the biggest U.S. tradeshow of the year for woodworking. Over 500 manufacturers showed up to display and demonstrate their new products (and some launched in recent years), hoping to generate business with retail distributors and end users.

Matthew Rollins is a retired technician and inventor of several things used today world wide. One of the projects he has been working on involves observing the varying performance of a parabolic when it is moved various distances from the 'heating target'. This may provide groundwork for a version of a parabolic solar cooker that uses an easily movable reflector to maximize efficiency.
Recent news and developments
- December 2012: War weary citizens in Iraq to receive solar cookers - During a recent visit to villages in the Najaf-Karbala region of Iraq, a trustee of The Lady Fatemah Trust found that villagers were using two methods for cooking: The majority of families, living in abject poverty, use open fuelwood fires for cooking, heating and lighting, while a slightly more affluent minority uses appliances fueled by kerosene. In the first phase of this project, LFT intends to provide families living in the villages surrounding Karbala: Barakat al-Zahra district, Al-Mahdiyeh Village One and Two, the al-Nedhal and al-Wala' neighborhoods, as well as to families living on isolated desert farms with solar cookers. About 7000 solar panel cookers will be needed to provide every family in the region with a cooker. The cookers are an improved version of the standard Cookit solar cooker. They made from plastic fluteboard, and are being manufactured by Matthew Rollins. Total project cost will therefore amount to £105,000.00. Consider being a donor. More information...
- January 2011: Matthew Rollins, a resident of Coventry, England, has been featured in the local newspaper, the Telegraph, promoting the formation of a local inventors club. Their inaugural meeting will take place in City Council offices. Professional physicists, as well as anyone interested in the inventing process have been encouraged to attend. Rollins for his part, has helped to refine the design of a type of solar panel cooker that can be used in areas of the world facing limited fuel supplies, and suffering respiratory disease from indoor air pollution, as well as, working on a movable reflector for the parabolic solar cooker shown above. Also, with two interviews with the BBC, they are on their way to establishing the club.
- October 2010: An article in the Coventry Telegraph discusses Matthew Rollins' efforts to make a more durable CooKit and his intention to form a local inventors' club.

Ash spent a lot of time in the Safari Zone in The Legend of Dratini, attempting to catch as many Pokémon as he possibly could. However, all he managed to catch were 30 Tauros, as they always ran in front of his Poké Balls when he tried to catch another Pokémon. All 30 were sent to Professor Oak's lab.
Since Ash captured the Tauros in a banned episode, it led to some confusion from viewers as they wondered how and when Ash had obtained these Tauros. The anime only mentions the events of the banned episode once, in IL065: Showdown at the Po-ké Corral, where Oak mentions that Ash captured the thirty Tauros in the Safari Zone, with out giving the details on how he captured them.
The herd are mainly seen to be stampeding. Mostly, this occurs in the wide open space at the lab. Their stampeding has been put into good effect, as they woke up Ash's Snorlax when the Professor needed it. However, their stampeding has also damaged properties, like when Ash first returned to Pallet Town when they stampeded through a fence and when they stampeded through the lab, leaving a huge hole in the wall.
Ash decided to use one of the Tauros in his battle against Drake, in Hello, Pummelo! and Enter the Dragonite. Initially, he was confused by Gengar's Confuse Ray and had to be recalled. Tauros was then sent out to battle Drake's Venusaur, which he defeated by himself. He then went on to weaken Dragonite before being defeated.
Ash used Tauros as part of a Tauros-battle tournament in Tricks of the Trade, which he went on to win. Tauros was also used against Gary in Can't Beat the Heat!, where he was defeated by Gary's Nidoqueen.
Upon Ash's return to Pallet Town following his adventures in Hoenn, the Tauros charged towards him along with his other Pokémon. However, in their excitement, they carried Ash off and he had to be rescued by Bayleef. In Talking a Good Game and Second Time's the Charm, Ash used Tauros to battle against Salon Maiden Anabel.
Despite capturing all his Tauros in green Safari Balls, and these being seen in storage at Oak's lab, Ash always uses regular red Pokeballs when sending his Tauros into battle.

This is a set of textures and transparent pngs that cover floor textures, walls, doors, lightsources (lanterns, firepits, forges, torches and so on), barred grates and set dressing (tables, chairs, chests, treasure, rugs, pits etc). Feel free to download these and use them. They were designed for use in maptool and can be used there to quickly make dungeons.
The set is here:
A Short How To
1. Map->Quick Map->Black
1a. Make sure the map has grid size set to square and 100px.
2. Pick the Drawing Tools and choose Draw Rectangle
3. Select one of the floor textures as the fill, set the line style to transparent (double click the colour selection window then hit cancel on the dialog).
4. Make sure you are drawing to the background layer.
5. Hold down ctrl to snap to grid.
6. Draw out your corridors and rooms.
7. Switch to Interaction tools (the pointer) and make sure you are on the background layer.
8. Find the tiles in the resource library and drag them onto the map.
- I find it useful to lay dow the stairs and other ground level terrain items first, this helps with the z-ordering of the pngs later.
9. Once your floor and wall items - the terrain - are all laid in, switch to the object layer and fill the dungeon with tables, chairs, chains and so on. These are in the Items folder.
Hope that helps. A similar thing can be done in Gimp or other picture editing programs. Indeed, in Gimp 2.6 you can just drag images from the folder onto the current image and they appear as a new layer which makes it very easy to composite a map. I'm sure that the above steps can also be repeated in Battlegrounds, Viewingdale or other VTTs.
--- Original Post ----
I need to put together a map that has moving corridors. So I started creating a series of dungeon tiles. I quickly found that it's easier to create a texture and separate walls than create every possible tile from scratch. Anyway, with a growing collection of tiles I can get things that look like this:
The repeating floor texture is:
A couple of walls here:
and the stairs are here:
These are all certainly CC licensed as per my sig.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Legislation allowing student groups to block members from leadership roles if they don't adhere to the organization's religious or political beliefs has passed the state Senate.
The Senate on Thursday unanimously approved a bill its sponsors say protects First Amendment rights at University of North Carolina campuses.
Republican Sen. Dan Soucek of Boone said his talks with Christian student organizations convinced him the state needs a law allowing groups to bar members from leadership positions without risking the loss of university funding.
Some Democratic lawmakers have questioned whether the bill violates anti-discrimination policies. Legislative staffers said a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding a California school's decision to deny recognition to a Christian group accused of discrimination doesn't apply in this case.
The measure now heads to the House.

text: What does it mean to work with a high level of musicality? Three cutting-edge musicians with new albums out — veteran artists Nicholas Payton, Christian McBride, and rising star Gerald Clayton —certainly know the answer to that question. And for their enduring creative efforts, their passionate music is wooing the world. Trumpeter Payton, bassist McBride, and pianist Clayton, all composers and bandleaders in their own rights, as well as Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated artists, also continue to capture the attention of critics the world over with some of the most accessible new music that I've heard this year, so far. They may not be appearing on bandstands with their own bands at our local jazz clubs in support of their albums anytime soon, but at least two of them are no strangers to the Jazz Showcase bandstand in Chicago.
