Strictly IMHO, but I think that the rocks/mountains look too flat.
You should pick a style that you like to indicate ridges and peaks and height.
The shadow pattern on the green background also disagrees with the roadway's suggested slope, but this is probably irrelevant since buildings will probably cover almost all of the green.
The city topography would lend itself to an isometric or perspective rendering, but that is a whole different level of technical skill. The isometric mapping tutorials might help you get started if you choose that direction.
Ultimately, I think that it will fall to shadows to convey the rising terrain. One consideration is how much it rises from one switchback to the next and how it rises. If retaining walls allow one building to be built against another building further upslope, then the yet-to-be-drawn buildings and their shadows will convey height. On the other hand, if the buildings are separated by rocky cliffs, then your roads will need the rock slopes drawn between the terraces.
I hope that helps.

[Colin Fleming] Hi there. I'm Colin Fleming, Adobe's Digital Publishing Evangelist with information about the latest update to the Digital Publishing Suite. In this video I'll introduce new Welcome Screen features for iOS applications. The Welcome Screen has been available for iPhone for a number of releases. Now it also works on iPad. The Welcome Screen appears the first time an app is launched on a device. The Welcome Screen appears after the launch screen and before the initial view of the app. So it appears before a custom store or library and before showing a folio. The Welcome Screen also appears at the first launch of an app after an update to the app is installed. The Welcome Screen is a perfect moment to welcome new readers to your app or inform your updaters of new options of features in your app. Let's see a Welcome Screen in action. I've installed a new app that includes a Welcome Screen. Now I'll launch it. We see the launch screen for a moment, and then the Welcome Screen appears. Note the options here that lead a user to subscribe, login as an existing print or digital subscriber, or go directly to the store. Also note that a free preview of the latest folio is already downloading, and upon completion the reader can go directly into this preview folio. The Welcome Screen is HTML so there are many options you might build to offer various information or modes of presentation. The content could be full screen or only partial screen. It could be semitransparent, and it could be interactive. It's all based on your HTML code. The Welcome Screen code and content is zipped into a single asset that's loaded into the DPS App Builder. You can load 1 zipped asset for both iPad and iPhone. So your code should handle the differences in screen size and orientation to match the devices your application supports. There's an article in code examples for building the iOS Welcome Screen on the DPS DevNet portal. Please go take a look at the content and start building your own Welcome Screen. Thanks for your time. [Digital Publishing Suite] [Adobe TV]

- Abstract
- We present recent results from our long-term Gemini/GMOS study of globular clusters in early-type galaxies. To date, we have obtained photometry and spectroscopy for clusters in NGCs 3379, 4649, 524, 7332, and IC 1459. We find a clear bimodality in the NGC 4649 cluster colour distribution, with the fraction of blue/red clusters increasing with galactocentric radius. We derive ages and metallicities for 22 clusters in NGC 3379, finding that most of the clusters appear old (10-15 Gyr); however, there is a group of 4 metal-rich, younger clusters with ages of 2-6 Gyr. The NGC 3379 cluster velocity dispersion decreases with radius, as does the inferred (local) mass-to-light ratio: there is no evidence for a dark matter halo in NGC 3379 based on our globular cluster data.

For some women, an unfortunate consequence of breast cancer surgery can be a condition called lymphedema, an accumulation of lymphatic fluid (lymph stasis) that causes an abnormal swelling of an extremity.
For some women, an unfortunate consequence of breast cancer surgery can be a condition called lymphedema, an accumulation of lymphatic fluid (lymph stasis) that causes an abnormal swelling of an extremity. Lymphedema affects 90 million to 150 million people worldwide each year. The most common cause is infection with parasitic nematode worms, usually referred to as filariasis. In the United States it is most commonly seen as a result of the removal of some or all of the axillary (armpit) lymph nodes to look for microscopic clusters of cancer cells. For most patients, the mild swelling of an arm that may occur after lymph node removal resolves within a few weeks of surgery. In 10 to 30 percent of patients, however, the edema (swelling, or fluid accumulation) recurs, resulting in chronic lymphedema, which is associated with recurrent infections, pain, impaired limb mobility, and a decreased quality of life. "It's a condition we really have no good treatment for and no rational way of preventing," said Memorial Sloan Kettering plastic surgeon Babak J. Mehrara, whose laboratory research is focused on understanding the etiology of lymphedema.
Dr. Mehrara's investigations have led him to hypothesize that lymphedema is a fibro-proliferative disorder. Fibrosis frequently occurs in response to a chronic irritant that promotes inflammation. Such disorders include cirrhosis of the liver and scleroderma, an autoimmune disease characterized by the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the skin and organs of the body. "In fibroproliferative disorders, your body simply makes too much fibrous tissue," Dr. Mehrara said. "One of the theories my colleagues and I are testing in the laboratory is that lymphedema is a variant of that."
To test their hypothesis — and to mimic what happens clinically in lymphedema — researchers developed a mouse model of acquired lymphatic insufficiency by removing a small piece of skin along with subcutaneous tissue and lymphatic ducts from the tails of mice. They then placed a topical collagen gel over the excision sites in one group and left the excisions open in another group. "The mice with the collagen gel ended up healing nicely and the animals experienced lymphatic regeneration [see image]," Dr. Mehrara said. "But in the mice without the collagen gel, the wounds didn't heal and these animals went on to develop lymphedema. This model is now allowing us to try to understand why one group heals and one doesn't."
What investigators have discovered is that the most striking difference between the two groups is inflammation. They found four times as many inflammatory cells in the tails of mice that developed lymphedema as in those that did not. "But we also know that not all inflammatory responses are bad," explained Dr. Mehrara. "The inflammation that occurs in wound healing is essential to wound repair. So it's really the type of inflammation that occurs that can have negative effects."
The researchers have gone on to show in preliminary studies in mice that, similar to other fibroproliferative disorders, sustained lymphatic stasis is associated with activation of certain T helper cell responses. (T helper cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a role in immune response.) When researchers inhibited these T helper cell responses with neutralizing antibodies, the mice with lymphedema of their tails had a near-complete resolution of the inflammatory reaction, and tail swelling was reduced almost threefold. "This is really the first time anyone has shown that you can stop progression and even reverse lymphedema with a treatment," Dr. Mehrara said. "Of course, more research is necessary, but our ultimate goal is to learn how to prevent lymphedema in those patients who develop it, or if they do get it, to be able to reverse it with a medication."
In a collaborative study still in progress, Dr. Mehrara and Memorial Sloan Kettering breast surgeon Kimberly J. Van Zee are looking at the effect of breast reconstruction on lymphedema. "To date, there is nothing in the plastic surgery or breast cancer literature about whether lymphedema is increased by reconstruction," said Dr. Van Zee. Using data from a five-year prospective study of lymphedema in 1,000 women undergoing surgery for breast cancer, the researchers are comparing women who had immediate reconstruction and those who did not and, Dr. Van Zee reported, "there is not a hint that reconstruction increases the risk."

Very nice. The broken down cart under the tree caught my eye right away. Hope you have someone or something guarding
all those swords though! btw, is that a mancala board across the porch from the chess board? Thanks for posting this map.
This is a map I made that shows a city block. It focuses on the alley behind the buildings, but since we never know which way the players are going to go, I have filled out all the building interiors.
Comments and constructive criticism welcome, Hope you like it. ( This is my first map posted here )
This map and a companion map were also posted in the Finished Maps Forum.

Glad you like it. I think that is a mancala board, not sure, just thought it looked cool.
Rumor has it that the suit of armor in the main room of the swordshop is some kind of
magical guardian, like a Helmed Horror.
A nice map for miniatures.
An option to empasize one thing (like the alley) while providing extra details (like the interiors) for "just in case" would be with a graphic hierarchy.
One example might be to leave the interiors as white lineart or greyscale, while the alley is in color.
A subtler way would be to create the interiors as a pale color layer and the alley as a bold color layer, making the difference between the indoor and outdoor spaces 'pop' visually.
This is very nice!
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
I also posted this in the Finished Maps section as 2 maps, one exactly like this and one with all the building roofs in place.
On a later reply, I posted the roofs as separate pieces so anyone using a VTT can just add and subtract the roofs on the fly.
Very cool. ILooking st it, it presumes that a potential "combat" will be a multi-place, multi-site area. Much like 4e talks about, but I would use this with Savage Worlds as well. Excellent.
Thanks catsclaw227, glad you like it.
Yup, it does look nice.
the only crit that I do have is that the shadows don't all follow the same line. Just for an example, take the stone building on the bottom left: the shadows around the edges seem to be from the sun being in the top left, yet the you have the right corners building shadows going straight to the right (top right corner) and pointing to the upper right (bottom right corner). there are a few others that popped out at me, but you get the idea.
Don't let that take away from the map. It does look good, but I tend to fixate on the shadows.
Nicely done

Please take my critiques as someone who Wishes he had the Talent
As much as I love Dundjinni, it has a few drawbacks, one is the lack of control over wall shadows, they are always from the upper left. The shadows I added were roughly for a sunset to the west, and they are not perfect either. As it is early evening I assumed there would be some other artificial light sources casting irregular shadows. ( at least that sounds like a good excuse )
Glad you liked the overall map, while I try to make them as visually accurate as I can, I mostly make my maps to be a good place to run my games.

Hello, Project Runway fans! Last week, the designers made server and ball-boy uniforms for Susan Sarandon's club, SPiN. This time around, their client was Heidi Klum, who needed two looks – one for a TV and print ad campaign and one for a public relations event – for the launch of her perfume, "Surprise."
The fragrance's packaging was pink, gold, and black (to go along with the scents of pink pepper, mandarin, and jasmine), and each team was asked to use those colors to craft six dresses – four options for the ad campaign, and two for the event.
Team Keeping It Real – unsurprisingly – worked well together (despite Layana panicking about using pink rather than gold during the critique session), while the Dream Team fell apart. Benjamin needs to learn that, ultimately, he can't control everyone else's work and still design good garments himself.
On the runway, the winning team was once again apparent. Kate and Layana's gown was one of my favorites, and Daniel's would have looked better with some lining (to allow for a neater slit). Though the judges adored Patricia's crafty leatherwork, the garment seemed too boxy for Heidi.
Over on the Dream Team, the inappropriateness of Matthew's S&M dress made my jaw drop. What was it that Heidi said, about looking sexy but not slutty? Yeah, a little over the line. Benjamin's strappy (literally) gown reminded me of a kid wrapping a string around his finger until the tip turns red. And Cindy's iridescent pink fabric looked too cheap for the challenge guidelines.
This season is starting to feel like a season of Survivor where one team dominates and the other team is picked off one by one. I wonder what will happen if the Dream Team is demolished?
Let's find out together. Until the next episode – auf Wiedersehen.

Teas Etc. Begins Seventh Year as Carbonfree® Business Partner
One cup of premium loose leaf tea inspired Beth Johnston to get into the tea business, and environmental responsibility drives the company's commitment to organic teas, sustainability practices and Carbonfree® business operations.
"Conserving our planet's precious resources has always been a personal concern for me. With our continued expansion, both importing and shipping customer orders, I felt a further responsibility to take it on corporately," says Beth Johnston, Founder and CEO. "We had been looking for an effective way to offset the impact Teas Etc. has on the environment but also wanted to give our customers the choice to offset theirs. We did our homework, looked at a couple of different options and decided that Carbonfund.org was the right partner to help us meet our goals."
For the seventh consecutive year, Teas Etc. is offsetting its own carbon footprint with Carbonfund.org by supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects. In an effort to generate greater awareness about sources of carbon emissions, Teas Etc. offers customers the option of offsetting the carbon footprint created by shipping their orders. To date, Teas Etc. and its customers have neutralized the same quantity of emissions as would be sequestered by almost 11,000 tree seedlings grown for ten years.
Teas Etc is has provided premium quality award winning teas and modern accessories to wholesale and retail customers for over 15 years. The company is USDA certified to package and to distribute organic products, and has a complete line of organic teas. In addition to their tea line, the company manufactures the innovative, award winning Tea Traveler® that allows tea drinkers to enjoy loose leaf teas on-the-go. The company opened in 1998 with its headquarters in Palm Beach, FL has an office in Nanjing, China and a permanent show room at AmericasMart in Atlanta, GA.
In addition toCarbonfree® operations,Teas Etc. supports a local recycling program, utilizes recycled paper goods, biodegradable packing materials and chemical-free cleaning products. Their ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, high quality products and excellent customer services confirms Teas Etc. as a leader in responsible online premium loose leaf tea retailing and wholesaling.
Arbor Teas Six Years CarbonFree® and Organic to a Tea™
Many of our business partners focus on following sustainable business practices, specializing in organic products, minimizing waste in their packaging and supporting Fair Trade practices. These programs are important to their business ethics and compatible with the products they're delivering.
Exemplifying this approach is the husband-and-wife team that created Arbor Teas, a CarbonFree® Business Partner for six consecutive years.
Arbor Teas offers USDA-certified organic loose leaf teas from around the globe through its on-line store, with one of the web's largest selections of organic tea, three-quarters of which is Fair Trade Certified. Arbor Teas maintains a daily mission to find the world's most fantastic organic teas and deliver them to customers as sustainably as possibly. This includes maintaining their CarbonFree® Business Partnership, neutralizing all operational and shipping emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's clean air and carbon reduction projects around the world.
Because Arbor Teas deals in products that come from all corners of the globe, it was imperative to offset the carbon footprint of all shipments that arrive at or depart from their facility as well as the carbon emissions from their internal operations.
"It makes no sense at all to sell an organic product if the method of delivering it to our customers is environmentally harmful," emphasizes Jeremy Lopatin, co-founder of Arbor Teas with wife Aubrey. "Although we do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint, we're happy to partner with Carbonfund.org to offset what we can't avoid… yet!"
Arbor Teas became the first tea company to deliver its full line of organic loose teas in 100% backyard compostable packaging, continuing to lead the tea industry through its staunch commitment to sustainable business practices. Tea drinkers are now able to compost their tea leaves and tea packaging together in their home composting system. Organic teas delivered CarbonFree® with compostable packaging – that's commitment to environmental sustainability in action and leadership by example.
Arbor Teas 100% CarbonFree for Sixth Year
Even the most environmentally sensitive businesses know that their annual operations contribute to the increase in carbon emissions in our atmosphere, but the businesses that are truly committed to operational sustainability are taking simple and affordable steps to reduce their carbon footprint.
For the past six years, CarbonFree® Business Partner Arbor Teas has neutralized its annual operational emissions and its product shipment emissions in partnership with Carbonfund.org. Arbor Teas retails one of the largest selections of USDA-certified organic loose leaf teas from around the globe, most of which is Fair Trade, through its on-line store. In addition, Arbor Teas is committed to making a positive impact on the environment and has taken many steps to reduce emissions by offering only organic teas, reducing and "greening" its packaging and using renewable energy sources. However, their teas come from all corners of the world, so the shipping emissions are unavoidable. To mitigate these emissions, Arbor Teas has maintained a CarbonFree® Shipping program to offset the carbon footprint of annual product shipment emissions, and to offset all internal operational emissions, by supporting Carbonfund.org's renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects.
"It makes no sense at all to sell an organic product if the method of delivering it to our customers is environmentally harmful," says Jeremy Lopatin. "Although we do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint, we're happy to partner with Carbonfund.org to offset what we can't avoid… yet!"
Almost three years ago, Arbor Teas became the first tea company to deliver its full line of organic loose teas in 100% backyard compostable packaging. With the release of this next generation packaging, Arbor Teas advanced its environmental mission, continuing to lead the tea industry through its staunch commitment to sustainable business practices. For the first time ever, tea drinkers are now able to compost their tea leaves AND tea packaging together in their home composting system. This innovative packaging is composed of a cellulose film made from wood pulp sourced from sustainably-managed trees, and the films used for Arbor Teas' new packaging breaks down in a backyard compost setting.
Carbonfund.org applauds Arbor Teas' long-term commitment to maintaining its CarbonFree® Operations and Shipping programs, and to its continuing innovation in the areas of product packaging and sourcing.

Since for whatever reason I am unable to upload my latest uniforms on the old thread (some glitch, I think), I decided to start a new one...
I think these are going to be the ones I'm going to submit (although I'll probably submit more than one uniform). Like they said in the movie Drumline, "We're mixing your 'old school' with our new.'" They were originally created at niketeam, then I retouched in Illustrator (these have some options that niketeam doesn't offer). Personally, I'd like to see red helmet/red facemask or gold helmet/red facemask with either the current ISU Whirlybird or the Punching whirlybird.

my sentiments exactly, nice lookin unis, but let's keep nick cannon outta this.
I like them. Niketeam.com is a sweet website if you are a coach. I designed our varsity basketball uniforms from that site.
I like the direction you are going. I really love the pants. I think the jerseys have some work left to do on them - not sure what. Almost like the stripes don't flow well enough.

Very nice uni's. Great Job! I can't wait to buy a replica jersey already. I hope they do go with an old classic ISU logo on gold helmets in 08.
i really like the jerseys
i would like to see gold (yellow) helmets, red face masks, and the "punching" whirlybird (provided we have to stay with the "new-school" logos). The current logo on the helmets looks kinda cluttered with the ISU on top of it, plus the red-on-red just doesn't work for me.

Looks like you have a sharp design there, but I'd hate to see us go back to the shoulder stripes of the Walden era (also seen on LSU, Ole Miss, etc). Plus the classic shoulder stripes probably wouldn't ship from Nike with a more contemporary pant stripe pattern as shown.
An interesting aside - We bought those shoulder striped jerseys surplus and were used as our lacrosse jerseys for several years.
pants look good.. but i think the jerseys could use some work, they look sort of blocky.. need some flow to them.. id get rid of the collar plate and make it a line cut jersey since that is what all of the players use these days instead of the full sleeves, just my opinion though
a few i messed with... i went to the true "cardinal and gold for one" and sort of a more modern shoulder stripe..
currents wont look too bad...
Interesting looks.
32 years later and I am still riding on the back.
I don't sweat the petty things,... I pet the sweaty things

simple answer - to match the stripe on the pants. if you look closely, I have gold piping accenting that "under arm" plate in both jerseys.

you'd be surprised - it was actually an option with this jersey

This is the continent of Vyros, the largest continent in its world. So far I have only finished the mountains and rivers, and wanted opinions on their placement before moving onto adding forests and settlements to the map.
This is the continent of Vyros, the largest continent in its world. So far I have only finished the mountains and rivers, and wanted opinions on their placement before moving onto adding forests and settlements to the map.
Looks good so far and placements seems ok. There's s just 2 rivers that seems to take a long way to reach the sea (the two ones on the east)
I like the look of it so far and think the compass is pretty neat. It may be intentional but maybe not so I'll say you have two dead sea situations where large bodies of water are not draining into the ocean.
Viking took the words right out of my mouth; I noticed those two 'no outlet' seas also. I think the layout and color scheme on this look great.
Alright, so I made the 2 seas have outlets. Although I fear Ive traded one mistake for another, as I'm sure many of you will notice the large branching river towards the mid-south. Is this even possible, for a marshland type situation? I know there are river deltas but this is much larger scale than that. I assume its not realistic and will probably end up changing it, unless it does make any sense. I also added some lakes, would like some feedback on those aswell.
I'm really digging the color scheme and look for this map, I can't wait to see it as you progress. I suppose with the river branching south it depends on the elevation of the areas in question. I'm not a whole lot of help in that regard.
Alex, that would be a pretty huge delta. I'm not sure the scale of your landmass there but it feels big and huge deltas like that don't have a lot of real world precedents. That said, check out the size of the Ganges river delta which is absolutely massive so yea I guess it's surprisingly plausible. lol It likely wouldn't happen if it were not a wide, llow lying and jungly or marshy area as you said. The new lakes are cool and you could add some outlets to them too :p (We are outlet obsessed here, or at least I am) The two lakes on that western peninsula drainage basin are very similar in size and shape. I'd try to make one differently shaped, sized and possibly placed so it feels less symmetrical. Maybe even give one a second river inlet.
Thanks for pointing out the 2 similarly sized lakes, I will change that. With lakes, I made a few with no river inlets or outlets, I thought that was acceptable? I mean if theres no inlet nor outlet, just a stagnant water lake, or maybe I am wrong about that? And yeah, I think the delta is going to have to go. I want to make that entire area a swamp, though, I will probably just change it to one simple river leading from the sea to the ocean.
The continent size is (I think) Africa sized. About 14,000 km from western tip to eastern tip. I plan on having approximately 40 major cities on this continent, and probably around 80 smaller locations such as villages and forts. I am not sure how realistic that ratio is, however.
It is totally possible yes. Check out Endoheic Basins Usually a lake fills up till it eventually finds a way to the ocean. If the rate of evaporation matches its ability to fill up and it can't seep to the ocean underground the only way out will be evaporation. Because all water tends to carry traces of minerals of whatever it contacts (water is a natural solvent) these tend to build up which often results in saline water. It could also just be that the rivers that drain out are so small they are too insignificant to record on your map.
Like I said, while unlikely, a giant delta is plausible. Your map does then manage to convey the landmasses bigness if it is in fact intended to be that large
Rivers are apparently one of the most difficult things to draw on a map. There's tons of things you can do wrong. A good overview of how rivers should behave (and how they absolutely shouldn't) can be found here. Most of your rivers seem to behave pretty good by the way! The only (small) remark I can give is that they might be a bit too "regular" for my taste. Real world rivers can be pretty jagged: straight in flat areas, snaky in others, with sharp corners where a normal person would draw gentle curves. But overall I really like your rivers.
One exception: the river you drew to drain the inner sea. The delta you've drawn is absolutely massive, way too big to be physically possible. It's true, the Ganges delta is massive as well, but it feels as though this one's many times bigger yet, and with far less plausible surroundings. the Ganges delta is surrounded by humongous mountain ranges that all dump their waters (and sediment!!) into one tight spot - no wonder there's a delta. Yours seems to be on pretty flat terrain. It seems very implausible one inner sea can drain with such ferocity to create such a huge delta.
The correct type of river mouth depends on several parameters. Basically there's two types of river mouths: deltas, and estuaries. Deltas are formed by rivers with lots of sediment, which is deposited in a relatively calm sea. Estuaries form in strong tidal seas, where the riverbed is eroded not only by the river itself, but also by the sea. The wider and more funnel-shaped an estuary becomes, the stronger the tidal erosion.
I guess what I'm saying is: there might be a delta at the mouth of your river, but it should be far, far smaller than this one.
That is, if you choose to draw a river at all. Contrary to all I and the guys before me said, your inner sea doesn't necessarily have to have an outlet. Take the Caspian Sea for example: a huge body of water, by no means connected to the ocean. There's a lengthy but very interesting article on the origin of the landlocked sea and the reason for its relatively low salinity - be sure to take a look! Maybe you can use that as an explanatory basis?
In short: whether or not you link the inner sea to the ocean depends on the geological history of the sea. Since you're the one making this map, it's all up to you to decide. If you choose to keep the river, however, make sure to strongly reduce the delta, or eliminate it altogether.
One last remark: I really like your landmasses and the placement of your mountains. You chose a very nice colour palette, though you might consider lightening it up a bit. At the moment it's a bit hard to distinguish the details, but maybe that's just me. All in all, my compliments, and keep up the good work!!

AIKEN, S.C. -- Aiken officers were involved in a car chase Tuesday night.
There were reports of a driver, later identified as 46-year-old Mark Winston Greathouse, allegedly going down Laurens Street and hitting multiple mailboxes.
The car, a 2002 Honda Accord, was later found near Laurens Street and Edgefield Avenue. Officers tried to stop the driver, but Greathouse allegedly kept going.
An Aiken County deputy tried to put out tire-deflating strips, but Greathouse's car ended up hitting a deputy's car, which was parked off the roadway. The deputy was not injured in the collision.
Greathouse was taken to the hospital. He will be charged with failure to stop for blue lights and siren, hit-and-run with property damage, malicious injury greater than $10,000, driving under suspension (second offense) and driving under the influence (second offense).

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Two months after she moved a second hand couch into her bedroom, a Grand Rapids woman discovered a boa constrictor was living under the cushions.
Holly Wright says she doesn't know where the snake came from; she found the couch on the curb outside a house in Heritage Hill.
Wright, along with her boyfriend, videotaped the discovery. "It's been living in the couch for like two months in my bedroom and I had no idea and it looks pretty big."
Wright says the couch was along the curb with a free sign in front of it. She didn't think twice about bringing it home. "We smelled it and everything-- it looked OK. We peeled off the cushions, cleaned it up, never saw anything," said Wright.
Over the weekend, that changed when the snake emerged from inside the couch. "It was very lethargic," says Wright. "It didn't really react or hiss, but when we poked it with a coat hanger it coiled up a little bit, so at that point we flipped the couch over."
She says they tore the side of the couch and removed the snake and put it into a box for safe keeping. "It was quite cold in the room, there was no food for the snake and I think it came out of the couch because it was dying," explained Wright.
Wright said they intended to take the snake to an animal expert to nurse it back to health, but unfortunately it died before she could. "Funny, my room almost feels a little empty now. It's been really sad actually to realize all this time I was in proximity to that animal (that) was probably suffering."

- Resilient sustainable cities: a future
- Author(s)
- Roberts, Peter; Newton, Peter W.; Pearson, Leonie
- Abstract
- The aim of this book is to examine two questions (i) what is a resilient, sustainable city? and (ii) how can it be achieved? Urbanisation is occurring at an unprecedented rate; by 2050 three quarters of the world's people will live in urban environments. The cars we drive, products we consume, houses we live in and technology we use will all determine how sustainable our cities will be. Additionally, cities are facing the biggest shocks to their existence, in the next 30 years it is expected that: population growth will stretch to breaking point urban infrastructure and service capacity; resource scarcity (e.g. peak oil; potable water and food security) will dramatically change what we consume and how and; climate change will change how we live and where. Cities can't keep doing what they've always done and cope---we need to change current urban development to achieve 'resilient, sustainable cities'. We use actual case studies and examples from around the world to explore opportunities, successes and failures.

Former Turnpike Authority Executive Director Paul Violette is scheduled to appear before a legislative committee on Friday.
AUGUSTA (AP) _ Documents obtained by the Legislature's finance oversight office show details of how more than $200,000 in expenses were billed to the Maine Turnpike between 2005 and 2009.
Maine Today Media newspapers says that expense reports by former Executive Director Paul Violette are included in documents in the Office of Program Evaluation and Government Accountability.
The documents show that Violette billed his agency $200,000 from 2005 to 2009 for hotels, meals and other expenses, the paper reports.
Violette is scheduled to appear before the Legislature's Government Oversight Committee on Friday. His attorney, Peter DeTroy, says Violette will probably invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination and decline to answer questions.
Documents were collected by the government accountability office as it reviewed turnpike finances last year. In some cases, the description of Violette's expenses is vague, listing only the date, location and amount. In others, only Violette is identified.

Sure, I heard that my fellow "five" were blogging for Micato. The lion, the elephant, and the Cape buffalo all had plenty to say—but like many rhinos, I seldom speak unless spoken to. However, the Cape buffalo pressured me (he is SUCH a bully), but by then I had already made up my mind to deliver Micato's first ever blog post from a Rhino.
What They Also Call Me
In East Africa, where they speak Swahili, I'm known as Kifaru. In parts of South Africa and Zimbabwe the Zulu people call me Nkombe; in other parts of South Africa and Namibia, people who speak Afrikaans call me Renoster. The Setswana speakers in Botswana call me Tshukudu. I don't usually answer to any of these names though—like I said, I usually keep to myself.
Best Places to Find Me
It depends on who you're looking for. Personally, I'm a Black Rhino, and my family and I can be found in Tanzania, parts of Kenya, Namibia, Botswana and parts of South Africa. Although this sounds like an awful big range, there are still very few of us—about four thousand in the wild. You certainly have to look hard to find us, although if you visit a rhino conservancy you have a much higher chance, as those rangers monitor my whereabouts. I don't like having so much to-do about things—it's a little embarrassing—but I guess it's what we have to do to stay alive these days.
My cousin, the White Rhino, has a bigger immediate family—about 17,000—which makes them the most numerous of all the rhinos in the world! They're mostly in South Africa, though they can also be found in Namibia and Botswana. There is a subspecies of White Rhino called the Northern White Rhino, which is nearly extinct. Some humans have just reintroduced this rhino to the wild, in Kenya's Ol Pejeta Conservancy. It seems like they're doing ok so far—as long as they can keep poachers out.
What You'll See Me Doing
Eating leaves or wallowing in mud, alone. As a male, I particularly like to keep to myself. The women and babies will sometimes gather together in groups, but only for short periods of time, until the babies are big enough to not get chomped by a croc. Adult rhinos have no natural predators and we don't do any hunting, so there isn't much need to gather in big groups. In fact, it's probably best if we don't. I'm…well…ok, I'm aggressive. I mean Incredible Hulk-style aggressive, to the degree that sometimes I attack trees or termite mounds for no reason at all. It's no surprise then that Rhinos have the highest rate of mortal combat for any animal—50% of males and 30% of females die from fighting with each other. "Dysfunctional family" is an understatement for us.
Most Embarrassing Facts
Oh man. Can I tell you a secret? The reason I'm such a loner—and probably why I'm so aggressive too—is that EVERYTHING feels like an embarrassing fact.
First off, I'm an odd-toed ungulate. That means I have a hoof with an odd number of toes on it, like a horse. Secondly, I have a weight problem: I'm the second-largest mammal on the planet. The first-largest animal is the elephant, but she doesn't need to be embarrassed because she's nice and smart, which makes up for it. Me, on the other hand, I've got a really small brain. Seriously small. And bad eyesight. Also, no front teeth.
Gosh, I don't even know if I can finish this blog post, I'm so embarrassed now. Oh, I'm almost done? Well, ok then, I guess I can go on.
Favourite Food
Leaves, branches, fruit—all that good stuff. This is why I have a pointy, prehensile lip, the better for stripping branches. The White Rhino, on the other hand, eats grass, and that's why she has a long, flat lip—the better for clipping. That's also why she's called the White Rhino—it's because English-speaking humans misunderstood her original Dutch name, which was Widj (Widj means wide, as in wide-lipped), and started calling her White Rhino. Which is silly, as anyone can see that her skin is grey just like mine.
Everything Else
Type: Mammal
Diet: Herbivorous
Average life span in the wild: 35-50 years—that's assuming that I don't get poached or killed in a fight with one of my brothers.
Size: I'm about five feet tall, and between 11 and 15 feet long. The White Rhino is the same length, but generally taller (around six feet). Like I said, we're big.
Weight: 1,900 to 4,000 lbs, on average. The White Rhino, if you can believe it, gets even bigger—up to 10,000 pounds! That's a lot to carry around
Protection status: It's critical. The categorization differs for the different subspecies, but basically all rhinos need help. The problem is our horns. Certain people insist that they make good medicine—in many parts of Asia they grind rhino horns up and use the powder to reduce fevers and stop convulsions. But honestly, my horn is made of the same stuff as your fingernails and hair (keratin), and you don't see anybody grinding up fingernail clipping for medicine, do you? NOT a good reason to hunt us, in my opinion.
Group name: A crash, which adequately describes what happens when we hang out—fighting, fighting and more fighting. And you wonder why I'm a loner?

Zimmerman Picks Dordt College
December 20, 2012
(Thursday, December 20; Sioux Center, Iowa) Cody Zimmerman, a senior at Waupun High School (Wisconsin), has announced his intention to attend Dordt College and join the Defender basketball program.
Zimmerman, a 6-5, 205 pound forward, averaged 14.9 points per game last season with seven rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. Zimmerman scored 11.2 points per game as a sophomore and had seven rebounds per game. He is currently averaging 10.2 points per game with eight rebounds per game and was a first-team all-conference pick in 2012.
"We are very excited to add to our list of committed players for next year," says Dordt College coach Ross Douma. "Cody is a very tough and physical player who will adjust to the college game quickly. He comes from a very successful high school program and that will serve him well as he transitions to college. Cody is a high character young man who is a very nice addition to our program."
Cody is the son of Dean and Karla Zimmerman from Fox Lake, Wisconsin. He plans to study agriculture and engineering at Dordt College.

- "A major link-way in our beautiful island city."
- — GTA III Website.
The Callahan Bridge (also known on street signs in GTA III as the West Port Bridge) is a 4 lane (2 lanes in each direction) suspension bridge, connecting southwestern Portland Island with east-central Staunton Island in Liberty City.
Callahan Bridge is the only bridge connecting Staunton and Portland, hence being an essential transport link between the two islands. Like the Shoreside Lift Bridge, the bridge effectively serves as a barrier to prevent the player from venturing into other islands prematurely (referred as the "broken bridge" method of cutting players off from new areas of the city), and will only be usable once the player completes the mission "Last Requests". While not accurately based on any prominent bridges in New York City, the Callahan Bridge does bear some resemblance to the Wards Island-Queen span of the Triborough/Robert F. Kennedy Bridge in terms of structural design but not in the strictest sense, featuring only one vertical suspender instead of two. In location, it is based on the Manhattan Bridge.
In Grand Theft Auto III, the bridge was severely damaged in late 2001 by a bomb during an attack in the beginning of the game by the Colombian Cartel on a police convoy that was crossing the bridge at the time. The Cartel attacked the convoy in order to kidnap one of the prisoners it was transporting, and unwittingly set Claude and 8-Ball free as well. As the Portland string of missions are performed, the bridge remains largely uncrossable until the completion of "Last Requests", when the bridge is finally repaired and is operational once again.
As the Porter Tunnel is not completed in Grand Theft Auto Advance, the Callahan Bridge serve as the only link between Portland and Staunton. The bridge design receives a degree of simplification to accommodate the game system's limited hardware capabilities.
In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the bridge was enduring construction circa 1998 and it was not finished yet, so modes of transportation between Portland Island and Staunton Island was limited to ferries before the bridge is partially completed to the point the player can jump over the remaining gaps using a ramp. The expected completion of the bridge as provided by the information pickup at the Portland end of the bridge is "May 1998".
Despite being temporarily unusable in GTA III, the player can in fact cross the damaged bridge on foot even before completing the first mission by carefully jumping from one dangling bar to another, allowing them access to both Staunton and Shoreside Vale. While the Shoreside Lift Bridge remains non-functional, the Staunton-Shoreside Vale link of the Porter Tunnel is not sealed off until the Callahan Bridge is fixed; the Portland end remains fenced up.
It is much more difficult, if not impossible, to cross the bridge from Staunton to Portland using the same method, and as such, requires the player resort to others means, such as returning to Portland using a boat or a Dodo, committing suicide (thereby transporting them back to the Sweeney General Hospital in Portland) or being arrested (transporting them to Portland LCPD station).
- In the beta version of GTA III, Callahan Bridge had two suspension towers.
- In one of the beta pictures of drawings about Liberty City, there was no Callahan Bridge.[1]
- The bridge name is a reference to Harry Calahan from the Dirty Harry Films.
- In GTA: Liberty City Stories, crossing the bridge requires navigating a jump. If done with a suitably powerful vehicle, this scores an insane stunt jump bonus for the player, although in both cases there are obstacles that need to be avoided soon after.
- In GTA: Liberty City Stories, the map shows the Callahan Bridge with no underconstruction kinds (and looks like to be able for transportation). However, in game, the Callahan Bridge has two cranes and some empty spaces, but they aren't show on the map.
- In GTA: Liberty City Stories, the mission you must complete in order to cross the bridge is 'Driving Mr. Leone'.
- in GTA III beta version, Callahan Bridge were named West Port Bridge, this sign can be seen in GTA: Liberty City Stories, however the name is painted white maybe because the bridge isn't finished yet until May 1998.

Hinterland is a clothing brand in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, GTA Chinatown Wars and possibly Grand Theft Auto V. In GTA San Andreas, Hinterland trailers are seen throughout the state, and no clothes can be purchased by the player. The company also sponsors one of the Hotring Racers. In GTA IV, the player can purchase Hinterland brand clothing from the Russian Shop on Mohawk Avenue in Broker. Items of clothing include jumpers, jackets and boots. Hinterland is most likely a parody of Timberland.
Posters of the Hinterland logo can be found on bus shelters and billboards around Liberty City. There is also a poster on a wall on the Hercules nightclub in Algonquin, as the building used for Hercules in The Ballad of Gay Tony was simply a Hinterland shop in GTA IV and The Lost and Damned (if The Lost and Damned is downloaded).
- The logo is coincidentally similar to the History Channel's logo, albeit with a change of font.
- The default light brown boots that Niko wears in the beginning of the storyline is labeled a Hinterland. The scrubs pants Niko gets during "Flatline" is also manufactured by Hinterland.
- Hinterland's slogan in GTA IV is "Doing it hard since 1869".
- Hinterland is german for "outback"
- Franklin is seen wearing boots, however it is unconfirmed whether they are made by Hinterland.

We caught up with this month's recipient of the "2 Those Who Care" award doing what he does best. Lamarr Moore is tireless in his efforts to help senior adults. He started the Davidson County Senior Services in 1978 and spends countless hours advocating on their behalf. Moore is retired, but would rather make a difference in senior's lives than to fish or hunt. He arranges transportation to doctors, delivers meals, provides fans in the heat and makes visits to Raleigh to fight for the rights of older Americans. Moore is determined to address the isolation, loneliness and lack of communication to seniors. To them, Moore is an advocate, a leader and a friend.

In 2009, the Leadership Development Program (LDP) began in East India. Acceptance into the program came with three days of orientation training.
The theme for the training was "Released to Maximize Impact." The first day's session centered on biblical foundations and biblical mentoring principles with special emphasis on the leadership qualities of biblical characters such as Moses, Joshua, Jacob and Joseph, shared by the Rev. K.E. Henry, Program Manager of Compassion East India. Henry also shared about "Discovering your Spiritual Gifts."
On the second day, the students learned about the curriculum they would use during their time as LDP students, and the mentoring relationships they will have.
In the Leadership Development Program, each student chooses a mentor who guides them through the program, helping them with emotional, physical, social and even educational needs.
Mentors need to be of the same gender with an ability to capacitate, empower, encourage and motivate the student with godly admonition, love, care, concern and support. Students learned about their roles and responsibilities, and their accountability to their mentors.
Deep, one of the 20 new LDP students, can attest to the positive outcome of mentoring from his days as a sponsored child.
Deep grew up in abject poverty. His father worked at a tea shop, and his mother did dishes and mopped in a few houses to support the household.
Deep's father was an alcoholic and addicted to marijuana. There were frequent fights at home because of his father's addiction.
At times Deep's father would beat and abuse Deep's mother for money to buy his drugs. There was no peace in the family. Deep was moving into depression because of the unhealthy atmosphere. His parents took little to no interest in his development at the church; neither did they have time for him when they were home.
Because of their poor family condition, Deep's mother wanted him to drop out of school. She would often pester him to find a part-time job to help in the household. Deep suffered from low self-esteem and lack of confidence.
It was at this time that the accountant at the Compassion child development center began to invest in Deep through counseling, encouragement and prayer.
Deep's self-confidence grew. He also developed a personal relationship with God during this time. His academic performance improved as he began to excel in his studies. Deep got first division scores in his 10th and 12th grade exams that helped him qualify for the Leadership Development Program.
Deep says the mentoring relationship in the Leadership Development Program will be pivotal to the success of each student. His mentor in the Leadership Development Program is be the same man who helped him as a sponsored child, Lalnufela.
"Lalnufela has been a close friend and guide to me. He has helped me, encouraged me, edified me and prayed for me every time I needed help.
"I know that my journey in the Leadership Development Program is not going to be just that of me alone, but my mentor will be there to help me every step of the way, whether I am faced with difficult circumstances or standing at the crossroad of life. I want my mentor to be a guide to show me the right direction in life and also to pray for me and my family."
The mentoring relationship is based on trust, hope and confidence as it can either build or demotivate a student. A mentor must be a mature Christian, exemplifying humility, mutual respect, love, hope, confidentiality and accountability.
Through the mentoring relationship, a mentor can share wisdom, value, knowledge and experience to help the student develop Christian values and professional skills.
Deep's mentor has helped him in many ways. He helps Deep in counseling when he needs it. He has also helped guide Deep to discern and set priorities while making important decisions in life.
A student can discuss many things with a mentor during regular contact time that corresponds to the student's academic, social, spiritual and leadership progress.
Deep's mentor shares his experiences with him, counsels Deep from the Word of God, and helps him plans how to best fulfill the requirements for all 24 curriculums that LDP students must complete while in the program.
After completion of his bachelor's degree in administration, Deep plans to pursue management studies for two years. After his graduation from the Leadership Development Program, Deep wants to help children who cannot reach their potential because of poverty.

Muzzleloading firearms use a special type of propellant, commonly referred to as black powder. However traditional black powder is a corrosive material which can cause the barrel of your firearm to rust quickly. There are also brand-name substitute powders, such as Pyrodex®, Clean Shot® and Hodgdon's Triple Seven®. All these powders are safe to use when handled properly. They are sold either in granulated or compressed pre-measured form. Modern muzzleloading firearms can now fire both black powder and smokeless powder. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for propellants to use in muzzleloader firearms. Using modern smokeless powder in a firearm that is not designed to handle it can result in serious injury to the shooter, and damage to the firearm.
Black Powder Comes in Six Granulation Sizes
Coarse grain powder.
Used for cannons
Referred to as single-F. Coarse grain.
Used for shotguns 10-gauge and higher.
Referred to as double-F. Medium grain.
Used in rifles, single shot pistols (.45 caliber and larger) and shotguns (12-20 gauge).
Medium-fine grain.
Substitute for double-F powder.
Referred to as triple-F. Fine grain.
Used in rifles and handguns that are under .45 caliber, as well as shotguns smaller than 20-gauge.
Referred to as four-F. Extra-fine grain.
Used only to prime flintlock muzzleloaders.
Safety first! NEVER pour black powder into the barrel of a muzzleloader directly from a powder flask or horn. There may be a small ember inside the barrel that will detonate the powder on contact. ALWAYS use a powder measurer to put black powder or its equivalent into the barrel of any muzzleloader.

- "From Red Caps they moved on to Kappas, creepy water-dwellers that looked like scaly monkeys, with webbed hands itching to strangle unwitting waders in their ponds."
- —The D.A.D.A. curriculum, including Kappas.[src]
The Kappa is a Japanese water demon.[1]
Professor Remus Lupin introduced his third year class to Kappas in 1993; this was the third creature they studied.[1]
The next year, Professor Moody briefly mentioned Kappas on the list Professor Lupin left him of creatures the class, fourth years at that time, had already studied.[3]
Kappas feed on the blood of humans, strangling anyone unlucky enough to wade into their ponds or rivers.[2]
One can protect themself from a Kappa can appease the creature by throwing a cucumber inscribed with that person's name; however, if they can trick it into bowing, the water in its head will spill out, weakening it.[1]
They live in shallow water, mainly in Japan, though when substituting for Professor Lupin in 1993, Professor Snape asserted that they were more commonly found in Mongolia.[1]
Physical appearance
The Kappa resembles a scale-covered monkey with webbed hands and a water-filled depression atop its head.[1] The water in this hollow is the source of the creature's strength.[2]

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Mentioned only)
