Hmmm, I am off to a fine start. I don't know why only one of those shows up, but at least when you click on them, they do show the upload. Here is the inner castle, then I will post the Chapel and garden.
I began this project in September of 2010. I knew that I wanted to run this campaign soon but could not find any maps anywhere that got into the amount of detail that I felt this castle deserved. I am by no means an advanced cartographer. I had purchased Campaign Cartographer nearly 5 years previously and never really used it, telling myself each time, I will have to learn to use this program someday and putting it off.
After using so many maps from this site I decided that it was time that I contributed something of my own as repayment. I sat down and decided to teach myself Campaign Cartographer while making this castle. I didnt care how long it took me, nor how many times I would end up backtracking on already completed floors as I learned how to use the program properly. It took me four months to complete the major parts, but I am still finding things here and there that I go back and retouch.
Each room was done after reading through each description entry of each edition of the module. I tried to capture everything that is included in the descriptions into the map. The length of time I spent constructing these maps should not be taken as an indication of wise or knowledgeable use of the program as much as it should reflect the amount of time perusing libraries of textures and symbols and overcoming indecision on which to use.
I am now in the middle of reffing the actual game. They have yet to actually enter the castle. I am making the other encounter maps for the campaign as we encounter them, now that I am a little better at using the program. The castle itself is for the most part complete. There are a few points I would like to make about mapping this castle, though.
The castle has had slight changes made to it throughout its various incarnations from D&D 1st edition, 2nd, 3rd and now a 4th edition board game. The last I have not even bothered with, even though I own it, as it is more random layout.
I created the castle for use with the 3.5 version. However, there are quite a few oversights that needed to be addressed. Staircases changed directions as well as orientation, and the third floor had two renovations namely the Hall of Ghosts and the secret passage area. I referred to all three renditions of the castle when doing this and used the 1st edition version as drawn by David Sutherland III as the final authority. So the Hall of Ghosts has 10 alcoves, not 6, for example, and the secret passage is wider than the 3.5 version.
The maps are designed to be used with Maptool. My players have a monitor (ASUS 25 flat) that is laid out with a protective piece of plexiglass over it on which they place their niatures. The maps are presented on the monitor in scale with fog of war in place as well as
light sources for the characters. This called for quite a bit of detail to be put in these maps.
The castle itself has a darkness effect that I represented by adding a glow of black to the walls. It is a little distracting when viewing it as a fully lit map, but when using Maptool with the light source effect on, it is quite eerie. I have only done this on some smaller test maps as these maps after rendering are quite large.
This brings me to an important point. I have done all of this and would like to share what I have done but these maps are huge! I created them as pngs for the transparencies, then used irfanview to resize them and convert to jpeg. The more I resize them, the more blurred or pixilated they become. I need some advice on getting these converted properly. I have seen quite a few maps posted here that are quite detailed and beautiful in just a couple of megs. I am having a hard time figuring a way to do this with what I have done. So lets talk numbers.
The first floor map is the largest since it includes the castle battlements, drawbridge and surrounding area. It is 13200 x 9000. To capture the detail properly I rendered at 300 dpi. I divided this into 18 segments and resampled each of these to 2 m files so that they could be imported into maptools, then put together again. However, most floors are much smaller since they are just the size of the castle proper.
To post on this site I am putting the first floor and grounds together and resampling to 3 3 m files just to give you an idea of what I am doing. The whole thing (1st floor and grounds) started as a 137 m file. I then rendered the actual inner castle in 2 separate files. This is all to avoid having the whole thing look like an 8-bit Nintendo game.
I am sure that there is a better way, short of dividing everything up and posting 18 images per floor, but I am unaware of what that is. I admit complete ignorance on converting these formats. I have a co-dm that has a little more experience with these matters and he also is struggling to find a way to get these manageable yet preserve the detail.
If anyone has any advice for me on this matter, please speak up!
I am happy with the results, otherwise. I just hope that I can post these in such a way that others will find these maps useful.
The 3m maps of the first floor and grounds will be my first post. The approach to the castle will be redone, eventually, after I get better with overland mapping. The courtyard grass I am not concerned with either, as I doubt that there will be much gameplay out there.
This ground floor was the first that I did. I then worked my way up the floors and did the basement floors last, touching up the earlier floors as I learned to use the program. The inner castle is the most recent render, some mistakes were corrected (such as the fact that there should be no second set of doors when entering the castle).
Let me know what you think.
Hmmm, I am off to a fine start. I don't know why only one of those shows up, but at least when you click on them, they do show the upload. Here is the inner castle, then I will post the Chapel and garden.
Our image software has had problems for about a year since we upgraded. Kind of a pain but, resave the image then reupload it. It might take 2 or 3 tries.

This should be the chapel and garden area.
Wow, those are great. It shows how much you cared that you spent as much time on them as you have. I hope your players enjoy it as they go through all this. Sure would be great to happen to have a nasty storm the night you run it, eh?
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

Thanks for the comment!
This is pretty ordinary. The only effect I learned with this level was blurring out the chapel so that it appears as being on the floor below. It works well enough, I think.
I am still having most of these showing up with question marks in the attachment folder. They are going through, though, but they have to be clicked on. If someone lets me know how to correct this I will. I do not see a way of deleting them out of that folder, I can only upload on top of them.
There are 3 files for this floor. The first is the full floor including battlements that are accessed from this floor. It decreases the detail quite a bit so I also include the file for just the inner castle at this level. I just overlay this in maptool. The last file is for the study in case anyone wants to put out the fire in the fireplace. I learned shadowing in this level, and it came out really nicely. The candles in the bedroom can also be edited out quickly in case anyone wants to pick them up and use them as a light source.
This level deviates a bit from the 3.5 version only because they made some changes in that version that don't work well with the original design. Even the folks at Fraternity of Shadows made mistakes in their errata on this, they must not have had the original version for reference. I corrected it and brought it back in line with the original, as it made better sense. It just makes a hall or two wider, and adds more alcoves in the Hall of Ghosts.
Very nice work. I ran this adventure back shortly after it came out. We didn't finish it entirely but did make it to the castle itself. Would have killed for battlemaps. I drew out the town and forest encounters on large sheets of 1" graph paper from one of those presentation tablets you can get in office supply stores. Trying to do the same for the castle was making me crazy so I just drew it out as the PCs moved through the castle on a vinyl mat. Again, great stuff. Have some rep!
Here is some more, starting with levels four and five. I was starting to get the hang of the program at this point, and the maps were smaller, so these went by pretty well. There are actually two files attached here, but only one is showing up. I suspect that it will after after some time has past as that is what happened with some of the previous attachments.

A Denver school will be closed Thursday while police investigate threats made against the school.
A bomb threat was called in Wednesday night against Bruce Randolph 6-12 School. School officials contacted police and Denver Public Schools safety and security officials, and then cancelled classes and all school-related activities Thursday so the Denver Police Department can conduct a thorough investigation.
DPS has not provided an estimated time for the campus to reopen, but says they will continue to update families on the status of the investigation and when students can return to school.

Mental Health First Aid provides the needed skills
By Vickie Evans-Nash
MSR Editor-in-Chief
First aid and CPR classes have been taught across the nation for years now, giving people with no medical training lifesaving skills in the event of a medical crisis. People suffering from mental health problems can pose a life-threatening crisis as well. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Minnesota offers lay people a class called Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) that will give them the skills needed to respond in cases of a mental-health crisis. "In a similar way to how regular first aid teaches people BAC (breathing, airway and circulation), in mental health first aid there's an acronym ALGEE. It stands for assess for risk of suicide or harm, listen non-judgmentally, get appropriate information and support, encourage appropriate professional help, and encourage appropriate self-help," explains Anna McLafferty, the course instructor.

Topic: Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain
Fact Sheet: What is Pelvic Pain?187
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
Many patients complain of chronic pelvic pain. True pelvic pain is commonly felt deep within the bony pelvis or below in the area known as the perineum. However, it may also be felt in the lower abdomen. Thus pelvic pain and abdominal pain may be confused and need to be distinguished. Reviewed 2009.
Fact Sheet: Report from IFFGD Research Award Winner: Understanding Pain and Discomfort in Functional GI Disorders203
Pain, a burning or otherwise uncomfortable sensation in the upper abdomen, nausea, or fullness - all of these are symptoms many patients list when they seek medical advice. While we may think of ulcers, gallstones or perhaps inflammation of the pancreas as the cause, all too often even extensive and sophisticated testing does not show any abnormalities. So, why do all these persons feel pain or any of the other symptoms they report?Topics: Dyspepsia, pain in upper abdomen or chest, Inflammation, Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Pain Management, Research
Fact Sheet: Understanding the Quality of Life Impact of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders205
Functional gastrointestinal (G) disorders significantly impact health related quality of life. This impact is obvious to anyone who has a disorder, or to any provider who cares for people with these disorders. In light of this finding, several medical organizations suggest that healthcare providers carefully monitor the health related quality of life of their patients in order to help guide treatment decisions. However, some studies indicate that many (but by no means all) providers do a poor job of addressing their patients' concerns, and accurately assessing the impact of functional GI disorder symptoms on their overall health status. Patients, in turn, become dissatisfied with their care. This article aims to help both provider and patient understand health related quality of life and improve patient care.Topics: Bowel urgency, Colonic motility, inertia, pseudo-obstruction, Constipation, difficult to pass stools, Gas, Bloating, Belching, Gastroparesis, Heartburn, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Pelvic floor disorders, Stomach Disorders, Working with your healthcare provider
Fact Sheet: Nocebo Effects: They can Impair Health Care215
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
The placebo effect can enhance therapy, and promote a successful relationship between healer and patient. However, a treatment administered by a healer may also have a bad effect. Any treatment may have a predictable risk, but a nocebo effect denotes worsening beyond the known risk – the adverse effect of a failed therapeutic relationship. This can result in sub-optimal health care. An examination of its causes and ways to avoid it are discussed.Topics: Bowel urgency, Heartburn, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Pain Management, Working with your healthcare provider
Fact Sheet: Medical Procedure Costs and Surgical Rates in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome217
By: Alexandru Gaman, MD; Braden Kuo, MD
Studies show that surgical rates in IBS patients are increased, even though there is no evidence the procedures are beneficial. Surgery is not a treatment for IBS. Yet IBS patients are exposed to more surgical procedures than the general population: the risk is 2–3 times higher for an IBS patient to have gallbladder surgery, appendectomy or hysterectomy; and 10 times higher for colon surgery. The lack of globally effective treatments and clear explanation of the symptoms in IBS contributes to increased utilization of diagnostic testing and predisposes the IBS patients to unnecessary surgical procedures. This fact sheet provides an overview of surgeries and risks in IBS patients.Topics: Constipation, difficult to pass stools, Diarrhea, loose stools, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain
Fact Sheet: The Medical History: How to Help Your Doctor Help You221
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
The most important interaction between patient and doctor is the medical history. Through listening to the story of the patient's illness and asking relevant questions, a physician may often make a diagnosis, or at least begin to understand the nature and location of the complaint. A few easy steps can help make this process more efficient leading to prompt, more precise diagnosis and treatment. Revised January 2012.Topics: Constipation, difficult to pass stools, Diarrhea, loose stools, Incontinence, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Motility, Stomach Disorders, Working with your healthcare provider
Fact Sheet: Sex Differences in Abdominal Pain223
By: Elie D. Al-Chaer, MS, PhD, JD
Experimental and clinical studies highlight the existence of sex-related differences in the perception of and responsiveness to painful stimuli. Sex-related differences in pain processing and responsiveness in general have been documented in experimental studies using animal models, and pain is experienced differently by men and women. Sex-related differences have also emerged in the search for new IBS-specific medications.Topics: Brain-Gut, Cause, diagnosis, Gender, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Pain Management, Symptoms, Treatment
Fact Sheet: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Heartburn, Dyspepsia: Whats the Difference?226
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
The anatomical diseases Crohn's, peptic ulcer, and esophagitis have functional counterparts with some similar symptoms; irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), dyspepsia, and functional heartburn, but these cannot be identified by x-ray or gastroscopy. Thus, for the diagnosis of these functional disorders doctors must rely entirely upon the patient's description of his or her symptoms.Topics: Dyspepsia, pain in upper abdomen or chest, Esophageal Disorders, GER, GERD, Heartburn, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Other Disorders/Symptoms, Pain Management

- Name: One Thousand Years of Death (千年殺し, Sennen Goroshi)
- Type: E-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)[1]
- Users: Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki
- Debut (Anime): Naruto Episode 4
- Debut (Manga): Chapter 5
A very simple technique with an over-dramatic name, One Thousand Years of Death is little more than inserting one's index and middle fingers (similar to the Tiger hand seal) into the opponent's rectum, causing constipation, pain and/or embarrassment. It has no effect on unconscious targets. Characters that see the jutsu react oddly (Temari blushes, Pakkun questions if it's really a jutsu, and Gamakichi shows a look of disappointment), while those who have used or experienced the jutsu show great fear in it being used on them.
While seemingly useless, the technique can be useful if used correctly. During the first bell test, Kakashi was able to throw Naruto a great distance, probably propelling him with chakra. Naruto would later find out that the point behind the technique was to target the opponents blind spot, and when one substitutes their fingers for a kunai with an exploding tag, it can be a lethal technique. The aforementioned variant has only been used by Naruto.
- This jutsu's full name is "Hidden Leaf Village Secret Finger Technique: Thousand Years of Death" (木ノ葉隠れ秘伝・体術の奥義・千年殺し, Konohagakure Hiden: Taijutsu no Ōugi: Sennen Goroshi, Viz: Konohagakure's Most Secret and Sacred Technique: One Thousand Years of Death, English TV: Hidden Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu: One Thousand Years of Death, UK DVD: Secret Ninja Technique of the Hidden Leaf School, Death for 1000 Years, English Games "Sacred Taijutsu: 1000 Years of Death")
- The official name for this technique is Sennen Goroshi. However, the name is sometimes thought erroneously to be Sennen Gurushi (千年苦し), meaning something along the lines of "Thousand Years of Pain".
- This technique is modeled after the Kancho, a Japanese prank of common usage among children. When Kakashi first performed it, it might have been a simple kancho with a jutsu-like name, which Naruto would believe to be a real jutsu, eventually leading to its usage in real combat.

Parliament this season appears to have started with a bang. Our legislators, quite a gifted lot, have learnt to perfect their performance.
They know that voters in their respective constituencies are increasingly demanding government accountability and expect MPs to act on their behalf. The legislators are, indeed, acting well and their performance is amazing.
The play this week was based on the CAG's report. This is the customary annual report in which the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) provides details on the misuse, wastage or misappropriation of public funds at the hands of those we trust most.
Television screens showed a number of animated legislators from across the isles demanding a pound of flesh from the CCM government.
The ruling party parliamentarians led the fray in admonishing their own government; some going as far as saying that the ruling party would be voted out of power in 2015 because of corruption, disregard for wananchi and impunity.
Everyone would wish this wasn't a play. But wananchi are now used to the political soap opera which, luckily enough, is brought to their TV screens at home in almost every parliamentary season.
Voters have witnessed, on countless occasions, ruling party MPs getting animated, angry and ready to shoot down the government, only to make a U-turn moments later to save the face of the same government they scolded contemptuously.
These honourable parliamentarians from the ruling party would shout, scold, swear, and curse the government for nine minutes. In the tenth minute they would say: "Having said that, I support the government 100%". Indeed, this would have amounted to absurdity if it wasn't said in a political play, which it normally is anyway.
Nonetheless, some opposition MPs have proved to be a thorn in the foot of the government despite their numerical disadvantage. They know that although they are fewer in numbers they can compensate this disadvantage with smarter strategies and contributions.
The latest strategy in this direction comes from the chairperson of the Parliamentary Parastalal Organisations Accounts Committee (POAC), MP for Kigoma North, Zitto Kabwe. He wants the Prime Minister to resign because his ministers accused of corruption, negligence and abuse of office have refused to take responsibility. Kabwe's timing is cool. He calls for the PM's resignation at a time when some CCM MPs in the current play are still live on stage. He knows he might get their 70+ signatures to initiate an onslaught on the government.
But this strategy is likely to be an anticlimax. Two scenarios: one, Kabwe might not be able to get the total number of signatures needed for him to pull down the PM. The ruling party shall use this weekend to meet with its legislators, behind the scenes, to change the coming acts. But if the second scenario upholds, the one of 70+ signatures, then what is likely to happen in parliament is quite familiar.
The PM is likely to summon his emotions to explain, in tears, the difficulty of running a government in Africa and the challenges this country faces. Given the PM's gifted eloquence as well as convincing power the MPs on stage will most likely call off the remaining acts.
That way, the government, the MPs and the media will have survived. The government will have survived an onslaught (which, in most cases, is more apparent than real), the MPs will have boosted their ratings in their respective constituencies (that they were very keen and serious in holding the government to account) and the media will have benefitted from juicy news resulting from the plays in the august House.
The losers are quite familiar – the electorate. Voters tend to remain at the fence as mere spectators of the play – distant spectators without any expert around to help them interpret the meanings and context of what they are witnessing. Another loser is the National Audit Office of Tanzania (NAOT) which has, in recent years, been doing a commendable job of publishing reports that are timely and meticulous in details.
In fact, it seems to me that this country has, in its quest for political jokes and plays, turned CAG's report into a caricature of some sort. Each year the CAG's report reveals increased incidents of misuse of public funds.
However, as usual, the legislators get cocky, animated, angry and loud - demanding a pound of flesh from the government. But just as the spectators expect more drama, the legislators soften up abruptly like boiled spaghetti.
The voters, who are the spectators, remain waiting for yet another play next season during which they would be exposed to an august House entertainment for some days. And life goes on. The winners continue to win, the losers keep losing. They call it democracy.

Cabinet decides to deploy Patriot defence systems to Turkey
Patriot launching pad (file photo)

Following NATO's decision to provide Turkey with Patriot defence systems, the German Cabinet agreed on 6 December to deploy German Patriot systems and soldiers to Turkey. The mission in Turkey is to be clearly defensive in nature. The draft mandate submitted by the Government still requires parliamentary approval from the Bundestag.
The Cabinet decision was jointly announced by Foreign Minister Westerwelle and Defence Minister de Maizière. It envisages the deployment of up to 400 Bundeswehr soldiers for a limited period ending on 31 January 2014. The deployment of German Patriot air defence systems is to be prepared and implemented in very close cooperation with the Netherlands and the USA. De Maizière stated that upon their arrival in Turkey, the systems and the personnel operating them would be under the control of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR).
Far from routine
Foreign Minister Westerwelle spoke of a "serious decision taken in a serious situation". He added that "there is nothing routine about it, and so it is right and proper for us to ask the Bundestag to approve the deployment." The Bundestag is expected to debate the mandate some time between 12 and 14 December.
At their meeting on 4 and 5 December the NATO Foreign Ministers gave the go ahead for the deployment of Patriot defence systems in Turkey at that country's request. The objective is "to defend the population and territory of Turkey and contribute to the de escalation of the crisis along the Alliance's border," to quote the Foreign Ministers' statement. The USA, the Netherlands and Germany are the only NATO countries to have the most advanced version of the Patriot missile defence system.

Preventing the violence spreading
Turkey is more immediately affected by the violence in Syria than any other NATO ally. Foreign Minister Westerwelle recalled all those killed and wounded on Turkish territory by shelling from the Syrian side of the border. He found it "understandable and reasonable" that Turkey wished to defend itself in the circumstances. The decision was intended, he said, to stop the violence spreading. The risk was that it could spill over into Turkey, in particular.
Both Westerwelle and de Maizière reiterated that the deployment would be purely defensive in nature. "Our support for Turkey is clearly defensive in nature and is intended to serve as a military deterrent," said de Maizière. Westerwelle expressly stated that it would in no way lay the groundwork for a no fly zone.

Thousands and thousands of pounds of free food was handed out Friday night in Greenville.
The Churches Outreach Network on Albermarle Avenue organized the event, with an estimated 20,000 pounds of meat, 17,000 pounds of potatoes, as well as plenty of other food items.
Pastor Rodney Coles told us by the end of the night, he expected 300 people to be stocked up on free groceries. Pastor Coles said, "We asked them to please bring boxes because there's a lot of products that they're going to receive and it would not fit in a plastic bag."
The distribution started at 5:30 p.m. and Pastor Coles said it would last until every last food item had been given away.

If rescue is not imminent, your number one priority is to get yourself out of the water as soon as possible. You can do this either by climbing onto your capsized boat or any other floating objects, or if it is within reach by swimming to shore. The sooner you can get your body out of the water the greater your chances of survival will be.
If you manage to make it to shore, be careful not to try and stand up if the current is too strong. Doing so can result in a shallow-water drowning - where a person's feet get caught in rocks or sand on the bottom, and the strong current forces their upper body underwater, causing the person to drown.
If rescue is imminent - you should conserve energy and body heat. You may extend your survival time by wearing your lifejacket.
H.E.L.P. - 'heat escape lessening posture.' You want to keep as much body heat as possible from escaping. If you are alone, cross your arms tightly against the chest and bring your knees up close to the chest.
If other passengers are in the water as well, use the 'Huddle' technique to maintain body heat. Get the sides of everyone's chest close together with arms around the back and legs intertwined.

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida -- November 10, 2012
Four days after the election, President Barack Obama can finally claim victory in Florida.
The state finished counting its votes Saturday. Obama was declared the winner, giving him a 332 to 206 final margin in the Electoral College.
Florida officials said Obama had 50 percent of the vote to Romney's 49.1 percent, a margin of about 74,000 votes.
The win gave Obama victories in eight of nine critical swing states, losing only North Carolina. In addition to Florida, he won Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Virginia, Colorado and Nevada.

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) - A judge in Washington state has dismissed a reckless endangerment charge against a young boy who brought to school a gun that discharged and critically wounded a classmate a year ago, in a case that drew widespread attention.
The Kitsap Sun reports that prosecution of the now 10-year-old boy was deferred if he met conditions that included writing an apology to the victim, attending counseling, keeping up with school and staying away from weapons.
The boy said he took the gun to school because he felt threatened by classmates. It was in his backpack when it discharged on Feb. 22, 2012, in Bremerton, Wash.
KOMO-TV says the boy addressed the court Thursday, thanking those who have helped him and saying he was "very sorry" for the family of the victim, Amina Kocer-Bowman. She survived.
Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Steve Dixon said he was optimistic he wouldn't see the boy back in court.
The victim's family is suing the Bremerton School District.

The surviving Boston Marathon bombings suspect has been released from a civilian hospital and transferred to a federal medical detention center in central Massachusetts.
The U.S. Marshals Service said Friday that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center overnight and was taken to the Federal Medical Center Devens about 40 miles west of Boston.
The facility, on the decommissioned Fort Devens U.S. Army base, treats federal prisoners and detainees who require specialized long-term medical or mental health care.
The 19-year-old Tsarnaev is recovering from a gunshot wound to the throat and other injuries suffered during his attempted getaway.
The Massachusetts college student was charged with setting off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs that killed three people and wounded more than 260 at the marathon finish line April 15.

Define and Design Once – Distribute to any Device through Responsive Design
Define and Design Once – Distribute to any Device through Responsive Design
The digital landscape is ever expanding with new smart phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, WIFI, or 4G. To remain competitive, brands need to deliver a clean, cohesive, and comprehensive experience to their consumers across all device types and distribution points.
Many organizations find it challenging to provide a great user experience across these channels; and with so many mobile devices available to consumers – each with its own size and browsing capabilities – a "one-size-fits-all" mobile strategy will not work. Building an effective strategy that includes multiple platforms requires careful planning, a good understanding of user personas, and responsive designs that work for consumers across devices and apps.
The functionality and modules available with Drupal provides organizations with a comprehensive digital platform that powers consumer interaction across the entire digital landscape. Join Acquia, NorthPoint, and Siegel+Gale for this upcoming webinar where we will demonstrate how Drupal can power online and offline apps (e.g. iPhone, Android) and responsive websites without the need for heavy customization.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Define and design a mobile strategy that strengthens your brand
- Deliver content through multiple devices and still maintain a seamless user experience
- Leverage Drupal to build mobile sites and apps to meet your business goals
- Implement Responsive Design to ensure a better user experience

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court will struggle this week with the validity of an Arizona law that tries to keep illegal immigrants from voting by demanding all state residents show documents proving their U.S. citizenship before registering to vote in national elections.
The high court will hear arguments Monday over the legality of Arizona's voter-approved requirement that prospective voters document their U.S. citizenship in order to use a registration form produced under the federal "Motor Voter" voter registration law that doesn't require such documentation.
This case focuses on voter registration in Arizona, which has tangled frequently with the federal government over immigration issues involving the Mexican border. But it has broader implications because four other states — Alabama, Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee — have similar requirements, and 12 other states are contemplating similar legislation, officials say.
The Obama administration is supporting challengers to the law.
If Arizona can add citizenship requirements, then "each state could impose all manner of its own supplemental requirements beyond the federal form," Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr. said in court papers. "Those requirements could encompass voluminous documentary or informational demands, and could extend to any eligibility criteria beyond citizenship, such as age, residency, mental competence, or felony history."
A federal appeals court threw out the part of Arizona's Proposition 200 that added extra citizenship requirements for voter registration, but only after lower federal judges had approved it.
Arizona wants the justices to reinstate its requirement.
Kathy McKee, who led the push to get the proposition on the ballot, said voter fraud, including by illegal immigrants, continues to be a problem in Arizona. "For people to conclude there is no problem is just shallow logic," McKee said.
Opponents of Arizona's law see it as an attack on vulnerable voter groups such as minorities, immigrants and the elderly. They say Arizona's law makes registering more difficult, which is an opposite result from the intention of the 1993 National Voter Registration Act.
Proposition 200 "was never intended to combat voter fraud," said Democratic state Sen. Steve Gallardo of Phoenix. "It was intended to keep minorities from voting."
With the additional state documentation requirements, Arizona will cripple the effectiveness of neighborhood and community voter registration drives, advocates say. More than 28 million Americans used the federal "Motor Voter" form to register to vote in the 2008 presidential elections, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
An Arizona victory at the high court would lead to more state voting restrictions, said Elisabeth MacNamara, the national president of the League of Women Voters.
Opponents of the Arizona provision say they've counted more than 31,000 potentially legal voters in Arizona who easily could have registered before Proposition 200 but who were blocked initially by the law in the 20 months after it passed in 2004. They say about 20 percent of those thwarted were Latino.
Arizona officials say they should be able to pass laws to stop illegal immigrants and other noncitizens from getting on their voting rolls. The Arizona voting law was part of a package that also denied some government benefits to illegal immigrants and required Arizonans to show identification before voting.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the voter identification provision. The denial of benefits was not challenged.
Opponents "argue that Arizona should not be permitted to request evidence of citizenship when someone registers to vote, but should instead rely on the person's sworn statement that he or she is a citizen," Arizona Attorney General Thomas C. Horne said in court papers.

BOULDER — After firing football coach Jon Embree on Sunday evening, Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn and chancellor Philip DiStefano talked Monday about getting the entire fan base and program to come together in what Bohn called "an extremely difficult time."
Embree, who was 4-21 in two seasons as CU's head coach, spoke first at the late morning news conference at Dal Ward Center and was clearly upset and disappointed he wasn't given more time.
"I thought I would be here, be able to build it and have an opportunity to see it through," Embree said. When asked what he thought changed things and led to his firing, Embree said: "You'll have to ask them."
Embree became emotional several times during his 30 minutes at the podium, pausing to think about his answers and tearing up many times.
Bohn said he didn't see the program going in the right direction after the past two seasons. He repeatedly said the "trajectory" of the program wasn't going in the right direction.
"I'd like to reiterate the heartfelt desire we had that we wanted it to work," Bohn said. "The importance of the third year, and if you don't have the momentum ... you begin to think did we not make the decisions quick enough."
Bohn said it was his decision alone to make the change, and he took it to DiStefano and CU president Bruce Benson sometime over the weekend. Bohn said he was not influenced by the recent grumblings of boosters.
"Our boosters' resources have never been a factor," Bohn said, "but the erosion of our fan base and ticket sales certainly didn't help."
Bohn and Embree talked Saturday night, and Bohn informed him around 5:30 p.m. Sunday of the decision. Embree, who felt confident he would be retained, said his conversation Saturday evening with Bohn was his first indication he might not be retained. He is expected to receive a $1.5 million buyout.
CU announced that Bohn will immediately form a search committee to find a new head coach.

"I want to offer my sincere thanks to Jon Embree," DiStefano said. "If this decision was based on passion and dedication, Jon would be coach for life."
Embree talked repeatedly about how he thought things were going in the right direction, despite the lopsided losses this season. He also addressed players who attended the news conference.
"As I told you guys when we were going through tough times, don't let someone else define you, you know how things are supposed to be done. ... We talk about 'in spite of.' In spite of what anyone else says about you, don't let it change how you prepare. ... You know, as we move forward, I'll always have your back and I'll do anything I can for you."
When Embree was finished, he hugged several players before walking out of the room.
Bohn said: "We desperately wanted it to work. ... We believe we provided the support to make it happen."
The athletic director referenced the importance of "functionality" and the necessity of bringing the entire CU community together to support football in order to compete in a "changing landscape."
"We are not going to be deterred," Bohn said. "We've had headwinds with this program for quite some tome, and we continue to have them."
Asked if he was partially responsible for the program being in the shape it was, having hired two coaches who delivered seven consecutive losing seasons, Bohn said, "We all have culpability."

Macklin came to Parsons in 1994, teaching a first-year course that introduced students to everything from Word to Photoshop. Within a year she was teaching courses in virtual reality and game design, and helping students re-create arcade classics like Pac Man. Outside of Parsons, Macklin worked in advertising by day and by night designed interactive visuals and installations for the "intellectual rave scene" with interlocutors like DJ Spooky and SoundLab. "That was school for me," Macklin says. "I was learning from other technologists how to develop new applications – and from the crowd what was interesting."
As Macklin's work evolved, she became more interested in using digital technology to facilitate social interaction between people, an interest that led her back to game design. Convinced that "imagination and play are the way we learn," Macklin designs games that users develop themselves. "I just love that the game doesn't exist until it is played; users create something new and learn along the way." At PETLab, Macklin and her colleagues work with organizations interested in using games as a way to engage the public in social and environmental causes. Initially funded by a grant from the MacArthur Foundation and now supported by The Knight Foundation, NEA, and others, PETLab collaborates with organizations such as the Red Cross, Public Radio International, primary schools in China, and a variety of companies and government agencies.
Still, it's being at Parsons, and The New School more broadly, that keeps Macklin energized. "The New School is socially engaged, has a great origin story, and a fabulous conglomeration of eclectic programs and schools. Teaching traditional subjects and engaging in entrepreneurial and experimental research is integral to PETLab and the university, which makes The New School an exciting place to be."

Dude that's really good stuff!
It is very much in the style of those olde tyme maps
Inspired by the Ravenloft game setting, what better choice to follow up a real world Transylvania map created in the same style
Between the practice map and this one, I actually caused hardware damage from all the clicking This one is done with a number of handdrawn mountains, those turned into brushes to save the new mouse. Trees and town markers are brushes I created for the Transylvania practice map. I played around with the brush settings until I found a convincing watercolour stroke for the colour layers, i think it worked out well (the main things being Opacity set to Fade, and wet edges - when opacity sets to fade, it has a rather nifty effect if you look at the brush stroke itself, not only does it fade out, it fades in a bit first). The large font is Teutonic #4, the smaller is Carmilla. Neither of them did numbers the way I wanted, so those are from Calligraphic421.
This is also the first map that I used Smart objects on as a matter of course (didn't think about it, just did'em) plus layer masking by reflex
100% photoshop work. I brought in other tools for a few things, though I ended up discarding the results in favour of a more consistent look.
It's been a long time since I played, so the journey to find an accurate map to work off was was time consuming - there are a lot of re-imaginings out there, some well done, some very cluttered and.. completely wrong as far as I'm concerned. Anyhow, I did research and find as many existing town names as I could (i know there have been books written in this setting that I've not paid attention to) to add in. Anything within the borders is mentioned in either a book or supplement, anything outside the borders is borrowed from Transylvania.
I know at least one person has been waiting for this to use in an actual game setting, let me know how it goes
Thanks for the helpful commentary to everyone who commented as this grew from a simple border into a full out map (even if i set things to the side for purposes of this map, it will certainly be taken into account for future projects)

"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
Dude that's really good stuff!
It is very much in the style of those olde tyme maps
Awesome...and you did it quickly too!
Probably just the lowered resolution but it's kinda hard to read. Sort of blends together, you know?
It does look good, though, and I have no doubts that when printed out onto the right paper it will be fantastic.
I keep looking at it trying to see how it's hard to read.. Maybe it's a monitor setting thing, because everything looks very clear from here *shrug*
My finished maps
"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
Great work... but I have come to expect that from you
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
mearrin: btw, thanks for the comments, and I expect updates from you on the use of the map

"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
Very nice C-max, I think you have the style 'nailed down'.

I don't really like the style but I love the map because you have executed that style with exceptional consistency and talent. Wonderful work!

Nearly 50 persons attended "A Gathering for Media Justice" held last weekend at Hamline University for community members and local non-mainstream media representatives. Sponsored by Community Action Against Racism (CAAR), Main Street Project and KFAI-FM, the December 8 half-day "conversation-based" event discussed media justice issues with an emphasis on local mainstream media coverage of communities of color. "People came [to the Saturday event] because they have a real hunger to see things different," said Main Street Project Community Organizer Danielle Mikali. "I think oftentimes we feel frustrated and we don't know where to turn. "As a media justice organizer, but also as an African American woman and mother, too often I don't necessary know where to look in terms of the really great independent media outlets that are sharing stories," Mikali said of the various local media that were represented at last Saturday's event: the Cities' two Black newspapers, the Twin Cities Daily Planet "and even cable — there were some cable access show hosts that were here," noted Mikali.

Students at one local charter school are learning a lesson they won't find in a text book: persistence.
The North Carolina State Board of Education reinstated the charter of the Cape Lookout Marine Science Charter High School in Morehead City Tuesday, according to the Carteret County News-Times.
The state voted to allow the school's charter to expire earlier this year, but the school opened its doors for the new school year anyway, fighting to get its charter back.
According to the Carteret County News-Times, Cape Lookout Marine Science Charter High School's charter is renewed for two years as long as it has no negative fund balance on June 30 of both years, no material findings in the financial audit, student enrollment cannot fall below 65 and the school must administer tests in all required subjects according to state policy.
The State Board of Education voted in March not to renew the charter of the Cape Lookout Marine Science Charter High School in Morehead City. However, the school is open and running, but without a charter, and thus without any public funding.
The Carteret County News Times says the board for the Cape Lookout High School is meeting with the state Tuesday, to see if they have done what it takes to get their charter and their funding back. We'll keep you posted on what happens.

- Introduces a Chapman student contact for the prospective students to keep in touch with throughout the application process

We also offer interviews during Discover Chapman Day. Fellows Interviews will begin for high school seniors in September and be offered through January.

The Operations officer was a Starfleet position within the operations division which was common in the 24th century.
On board starships, the role of the Operations officer evolved from older 23rd century positions, involving some functions of the Navigator, Science officer and even Engineer (although the bulk of duties of which the Navigator and Helmsman were traditionally assigned to, were later integrated into the singular Helmsman role). As well as manning the Ops station, overseeing internal systems control, communications and sensors. Operations personnel also coordinated the scheduling of resources, hardware, and system usage for an entire starship, outpost, or space station.
The Operations position, was typically manned by a member of the command staff of a Starship, regardless of seniority. On the Starship USS Enterprise-D, Chief Operations Officer, Lieutenant Commander Data (doubling as Second Officer), was thereby the most senior member of the ship's crew, excluding the Captain and First Officer, but on the Starship USS Voyager, Operations Officer Ensign Harry Kim, was the most junior bridge officer.
As analytical operations relied upon knowledge of science and engineering disciplines, Chief Operations Officers often performed the additional duties of a Science Officer, especially when one was absent, as exemplified by both Data and Harry Kim. (TNG: "Conundrum"; VOY: "Caretaker", etc.)
This designation was also used on one occasion to describe the Chief of Operations Miles O'Brien during his assignment aboard Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Facets")
