MACON, Ga Macon police are investigating a deadly shooting at a motel in the central Georgia city.
Police say the killing occurred around 4:30 a.m. Monday at the Scottish Inn on Romeiser Drive, near Middle Georgia State College.

It's Sunday, and you know what that means, right? Another Member Gallery of the Week!! This time I picked aurian. I was first attracted to her gallery for the beautiful pix and the fun pages. She masters the art of adding lots of elements but without making the page looking busy. And I'm a big fan of this paper-looking style of hers.
Have a look at a couple of her LOs. On this first one I love the fun jump picture (I've never been pregnant, but from what I've heard it's not something everyone would do when preggo, right?)
And on this one I love the huge pic used as a background.
So go ahead, have a look at aurian's gallery, leave some much deserved love to her fantastic LOs and get inspired!!


text: Hey y'all!!! First off we want to say thank you for all the love and support you've given us through the years. You all rock and we appreciate everyone of you! So this next year we have a lot of big things in store for you. Shows, tours, re-printing the "Shake It Up" album, another NEW album, a new video, and more... so stay tuned! Thanks again and talk to you soon!

After seeing a two-run lead go by the boards in the top of the seventh, the Mountain Home Lockeroom rallied with four runs in its final at-bat to post a 6-5 win over Paragould Glen Sain GMC in an American Legion Baseball Zone 2 contest Tuesday night at Lester White Field.
With the win, Mountain Home (15-10) finishes zone play with a 4-2 record and clinched a share of the zone title. The Jonesboro Ricemen finished league play at 4-2, while Blytheville is 3-2 with a game left to play. Blytheville and Paragould meet Thursday in the final zone game.
Lockeroom owns the tiebreaker against both Jonesboro and Blytheville, due to run differential, and should be the No. 1 seed for the zone tournament. Mountain Home defeated Jonesboro 9-5, and lost 13-10 in the rematch. Lockeroom split its games against Blytheville, winning 6-1 and losing 6-2.
Mountain Home carried a 2-0 lead into the top of the seventh, and starting pitcher Mason Smith was cruising, having allowed just three hits.
Paragould equaled its hit total as Logan Murray, Alex Tripod and Zac George all singled to open the seventh. Matt Campbell followed with a slow roller to the shortstop that easily scored Murray, and a throw to first was wild, allowing the tying run to score.
Smith bounced back with a fly ball to left for the first out, and Paragould's Cash Lee hit a groundout that appeared to plate the go-ahead run. After a conference between Lockeroom head coach Lester White and the umpiring crew, Lee was declared out for an illegal substitution and the tying run was wiped out.
Paragould still had runners at second and third with two outs, but Smith couldn't end the rally as Tucker Harris slammed a two-run double to put Glen Sain GMC up 4-2. Trace Huckaby doubled home Harris for a 5-2 lead.
Mountain Home was down to its final two outs after Joey Prinner was retired by Paragould starter Layne Ditto to open the seventh.
Ditto opened the door for Lockeroom when he issued a walk to Sky-Lar Culver, and hot-hitting Austin Gardner followed with a single. After a passed ball moved the runners up a base, Kyle Stephens was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Mountain Home flashed its team speed when Hayden Hall hit a fielder's choice grounder to second. Culver scored easily on the play and Gardner raced all the way home from second to make it a 5-4 game. Hall was left standing on first after pinch-runner Brett Hensley was forced out at second.
Down to its final out, Lockeroom kept the rally going with a single by Brody Ninemire that put runners on the corners, and Devin Brown tied the game with a single of his own. Spencer Jones took over the pitching duties for Paragould at that point, and Todd Miller's infield single loaded the bases once more.
Ryan Czanstkowski would pick up the game-winning RBI when he was plunked in the backside by a 1-1 delivery from Jones.
Mountain Home outhit Paragould 10-8, led by a 2-for-2 day by Gardner and Brown's 2-for-4 outing that produced two RBIs. Hall led Lockeroom with three RBIs and also had a double. Czanstkowski added a triple and Culver notched a double.
Smith earned the win, allowing five runs — four earned — on eight hits and a hit batsman. He struck out six on the day.
Mountain Home broke out to an early 1-0 lead in the game when Culver doubled and later scored on a fielder's choice off the bat of Hall in the top of the first. Mountain Home added another run in the fourth when Hall doubled and scored on a single by Brown.

Who is Dr. Easy?17 Jan, 2013
Who is Dr. Easy? It's the question on everybody's lips here at Film4, and something I'm very excited about as the Executive Producer of the project. Visual arts collective Shynola have provided us with an answer, by way of introducing you to their new production blog charting the progression of this new Film4.0 and Warp commission:
"It is not a 'who' at all. What is Dr. Easy? Our first foray into film, without music or the safety net of a pop star and their legions of fans.
It's also a teaser for a feature film we're developing with Warp Films and Film4.0, called 'The RedMen'. An unorthodox UK based science-fiction. There are no laser guns or aliens, rather a horribly plausible invasion of technology into personal identity. And robots.
We're keeping a Dr. Easy production diary here. We'll be posting any novel items we find that may amuse you.
Please add us to your blogroll and join us when you can."
- Chris, Jason & Kenny (Shynola)
Exciting news or what? We'll be posting select updates from Shynola on key Dr. Easy milestones here on the Film4 blog, but hardcore fans should keep checking the Dr. Easy production blog to make sure you don't miss a moment of their creative process.
One Response to "Who is Dr. Easy?"
[...] Whilst the negative ones among us may look at Dr. Easy and groan at the thought of another science fiction short hitting our screens, this is a short film of some pedigree. Featuring cinematography by Barry Ackroyd (The Hurt Locker, United 93) and visual FX by Jellyfish (Jonah), directorial collective Shynola (Jason Groves, Richard Kenworthy and Christopher Harding) continue the excellent work already created for musicians Coldplay, Queens of the Stone Age and Radiohead with this visually rich, conceptually dark short backed by Warp Films and Film4 [...]

That list is (fortunately) decreasing, but for those that depend on them (ETS is an important example), obviously a non-system python is the only option. So far, I've been able to avoid these situations using IPython/Twisted/numpy/scipy/matplotlib, though clearly others MMV. My understanding, from Bill Bumgarner's comments, is that Apple's system tools import numpy by version via setuptools, so they should be "immune" to a newly installed version.

text: Campinas - It was named after the pioneers who rested there. There were three small pieces of land in the region, which explains the name. In the framework of its colonial formation, it appeared in the first half of the eighteenth century as a rural district of Vila Jundiaí. In the second half of the eighteenth century, another dynamic economic and social policy in the region was taking shape. Coffee plantations were born inside cane farms, quickly driving to a new development cycle. With the crisis of coffee, Campinas focused on industrial and service sectors. It began to concentrate a more populated area, made up of migrants and immigrants from various regions.

Statutes in Common Law Courts
Pojanowski, Jeffrey A., Texas Law Review
The Supreme Court teaches that federal courts, unlike their counterparts in the states, are not general common law courts. Nevertheless, a perennial point of contention among federal law scholars is whether and how a court's common law powers affect its treatment of statutes. Textualists point to federal courts' lack of common law powers to reject purposivist statutory interpretation. Critics of textualism challenge this characterization of federal courts' powers, leveraging a more robust notion of the judicial power to support purposivist or dynamic interpretation. This disagreement has become more important in recent years with the emergence of a refreshing movement in the theory of statutory interpretation. While debate about federal statutory interpretation has settled into a holding pattern, scholars have begun to consider whether state courts should interpret statutes differently than federal courts and, if so, the implications of that fact for federal and general interpretation.
This Article aspires to help theorize this emerging field as a whole while making progress on one of its most important parts, namely the question of the difference that common law powers make to statutory interpretation. This inquiry takes us beyond the familiar moves in federal debates on interpretation. In turn, it suggests an interpretive method that defies both orthodox textualism and purposivism in that it may permit courts to extend statutory rules and principles by analogy while prohibiting courts from narrowing the scope of statutes in the name of purpose or equity. Such a model accounts for state court practice at the intersection of statutes and common law that recent work on state court textualism neither confronts nor explains. This model also informs federal theorization, both by challenging received wisdom about the relationship between common law and statutes and by offering guidance to federal courts at the intersection of statutes and pockets of federal common law.
The framework this Article constructs to approach the common law question can also help organize the fledgling field of state-federal comparison more generally. With this framework, we can begin to sort out the conflicting and overlapping strands of argument already in the literature while also having a template for future inquiries. At the same time, this framework can help us think about intersystemic interpretation with greater rigor-an advance that can aid state and federal jurisprudence alike.
The revival of theory in statutory interpretation is one of the most significant events in American public law in the past three decades.1 The field continues to develop and its participants continue to disagree about how to read statutes. Yet even among some of the partisans, there is a sense that where there was once wide-ranging debate, there is now a settled equilibrium, if not an argumentative rut. "The guns in the statutory interpretation wars," one commentator muses, "are now largely silent."2 Another, a critic of academic textualism, finds a "strong consensus on the interpretive enterprise that dwarfs any differences that remain."3 Existing debate, on this account, obscures "just how thoroughly modern textualism has succeeded in dominating contemporary statutory interpretation."4
The dust from the Thirty Years' statutory interpretation wars may have settled and, while textualism has not won an unconditional surrender in the Supreme Court, it appears to have gained substantial territory before its truce with purposivism. If this is so, the scope of interpretive argument at the Supreme Court has narrowed in recent decades. Thus, scholars that synthesize and criticize that jurisprudence on its own terms may have to focus on a correspondingly modest number of questions. Even assuming that the Court's equilibrium is stable, however, that agreement covers only a tip of the interpretive iceberg. Statutory interpretation scholars have filled shelves of law reviews while focusing almost exclusively on the Supreme Court in general and on its exposition of federal public law in particular. …

WASHINGTON – Mix some lemons, sugar and water – that's a key recipe in the fight against childhood cancer.
It all began in 2000, when Alexandra "Alex" Scott, a 4-year-old cancer patient, set up a lemonade stand in her front yard to raise money for a cure.
The little girl from Connecticut died in 2004, but Alex inspired thousands of children across the country. Every year, these inspired kids set up their own lemonade stands on a designated weekend in early June to raise funds for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
Among those inspired by her story is 4-year-old Hooper Andrews, who will run a stand this weekend with his mom and dad in Capitol Hill, right across from Eastern Market.
"I am going to be selling lemonade all day," says Hooper, as he plays with his dogs and then cuddles in his mother's arms.
Gloria Totten, Alex's mom, says the idea to have a stand was her son's from the very beginning.
She says she was reading a magazine article about Alex Scott when Hooper started to ask her about the girl in the picture with no hair.
"I told Hooper about the little girl, Alex, who had cancer, and she got sick and lost all of her hair," says Totten. "And so Hooper said,

Overworked HanksTom Hanks has confessed he has made too many movies - because he was terrified the work would dry up.
The 'Forrest Gump' star admits he couldn't say 'no' to film projects in case he was never offered a job again.
He revealed: "I think there was a period of time when I worked too much. I made too many films. I thought they would never ask me to make any more movies, so every one that came along, I had to say yes to."
The Hollywood actor says taking on so many work commitments affected his ability as both an actor and a father.
He told Britain's Independent Review: "There was a period of time where it seemed like all I did was work and then talk about myself and my movies. And I couldn't get past the fact that my kids were growing up without me."

Tourists in Panama City Only Get Half the Story
There's a big difference between how a tourist sees Panama City and how a potential resident views it. If you come for a visit, you're likely to note the sparkly, spiky skyline. Even back in the 1990s it was impressive—no other city in the region could compete. And these days there are more than plain old skyscrapers here. There are some true architectural specimens, like the Trump building (sail shaped, like that iconic hotel in Dubai).
A Zero-Stress Lifestyle in Panama
Cero estrés. Zero stress. It's a constant refrain in Panama City, where I now live. It refers to the idea that hiccups are meant to be taken in stride. That if both sides remain calm, all will be well. That there's no need to "stress out." Take the other day for example. I'd ordered a few hundred photocopies, but when I went to pick them up I realized I'd left my wallet at home. The supervisor said "cero estrés," and let me take the copies anyway. I went back to pay the next day.
Panama City: Putting the "Metro" in Metropolitan
You may have already heard that Panama's capital will be the first city in Central America to get a metro or light rail system, but did you know that the first line is nearly complete? When the project was announced, regional rags dismissed it as yet another Central American pipe dream. But Panama is the kind of place where big projects come to fruition.
Panama City: First-World, Cultured and Affordable
Eight years ago, I decided I wanted to live in Panama full-time. And though I've sometimes toyed with the idea of living in the cool mountains of Chiriqui or even on one of the Pacific Coast beaches, I can't seem to tear myself away from Panama City. From the steely, spiky skyline of the city…
An Affordable Home in 3 of the World's Best Cities
It may be your lifelong dream to live in the grand old cities of Europe…cities with a foot in the past and another firmly in the present. Or maybe you'd rather be closer to home in the Americas, enjoying the sultry Latin lifestyle of Panama City or Buenos Aires.
How One Expat is Living the Dream in Panama City
On a dusty corner in Panama City's Casco Viejo sector, there is a bar/restaurant. It doesn't look like much, but the name on the sign makes passersby stop and puzzle: Mojitos sin Mojitos. In English it means, "Mojitos without Mojitos." Weekend nights, the place is full to overflowing. There are hipsters from the local art scene…young bankers from the financial district…backpackers from France.
Pulling the Plug on Panama
There's a little mountain town in the interior of Panama where you can still buy a home or a large parcel of land next to a gurgling river. It's likely this land will have waterfalls and hiking trails on it…you'll see wild parrots and toucans and flowers of every tropical variety and color. The tall grass waving in the breeze will be so green, it would make even the Irish envious…
Where to Eat in Panama City
Amid the towers of steel and chrome waft the tantalizing smells of seafood and spices. Argentine, Cuban, Swiss, German, Thai, and Indian are only a few of the offerings you'll enjoy today in Panama City.
Five Business Ideas for Expats in Panama City
I've been writing about Panama for International Living for nearly five years. Interestingly, more and more expats are asking me about business opportunities. They don't want to "just retire". Our Facebook page is peppered with questions and comments about making a living here.
Fun in Panama City for $20 or Less
The first impression is one of noise and bustling activity…a city of steel and concrete. A few days here, though, and you'll realize the phrase "more than meets the eye" has never rung truer.
You'll Never Guess Where I Found Small-Town USA
Today I'm driving from what looks like small-town USA to an island paradise. But I'm in Panama City's Ancon sector, heading out to the area known as the Amador causeway. It's a five-minute drive during rush hour. Take a look at the video I shot. It's nearly sunset, my favorite time of day to […]
Panama for Business and Lifestyle
When I first arrived in Panama, I was like a kid in a candy store. As a real estate investor, I immediately saw the opportunities. I was attending an IL conference and on day two I purchased my first apartment for $76,500—four blocks from where the conference was being held. (It's since generated close to $40,000 annually for the last few years.)
Live Large for Less in Panama City
Living for less in Latin America is a hot topic, but what exactly does it cost to have that dream life south of the border?

WASHINGTON – President Obama today appointed lawyer Clifford Sloan as the State Department's special envoy in charge of closing the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
"The appointment of a new envoy at the State Department for closing Guantánamo puts in place one of the last pieces of the puzzle for getting the prison closed," said Laura Murphy, director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. "The president now has ordered the restart of transfers out of Guantánamo, lifted the moratorium on transfers to Yemen, and appointed top officials at the White House and State Department to get it done. Once President Obama makes the necessary appointment at the Pentagon to begin transferring detainees out of Guantánamo, he should immediately begin doing so. With more than half of the detainees already cleared for transfer or release, and dozens more being held without ever being charged or tried, it's time to start sending these men home."

It was said that the Goddess of Beauty and Love herself created the Island. She created it for all the enemy races and fighting factions of Tamriel; as a haven in peace and tranquility, where all petty grievances would be forgotten, and there would be no cries of war and no clash of arms. She painted Her island like a piece of art. She made it with lush forests, streaming rivers and fertile farmlands; She raised mountains in the north and in the west, made beautiful islands and painted endless plains. She made the land for a beautiful people who She drew from all the races of Tamriel.
The People of the Goddess worked the land and erected great buildings and monuments; they explored, they learned and they grew in numbers. Their achievements were many and their society grew strong, although the road ahead was sometimes rocky and rough. The Island of the Goddess became the Paradise in Tamriel that the Goddess had planned for. Indeed as close as could be with mortals and not gods running it.
But in the far west, the snake in paradise raised its head. The dark Deadtree Clan formed its black legions and stormed down from its prison in the mountains; to conquer, to pillage and destroy the peace She had installed. Angered and spurred by their devilish gods, they broke through, grew their numbers, raised their barbarian banners and set the march east to destroy civilization and beauty once and for all. Dibella's beautiful island was about to be torn by war and fire.
A month before the release of Skyrim, I give you the Västhelm Expansion for Dibella's Watch. This expansion comes with a new northern island kingdom called Västhelm which has an interesting quest tied to it as well. The whole island is Skyrim-inspired, of course. The expansion also works as a patch; fixing previously found bugs, but also adding to the Land of Dibella's Watch in other respects. There is more landscaping, more work done on existing questlines and even masses of new meshes for you to enjoy. Oh, and I need to mention the new in-game map as well. I put a lot of work into it this time, and it's smashing, if I say so myself.
To start the Västhelm quest, you need to sign up for the Crusader Army at Castle St Graecius in the Western Deadlands. Once you've earned your sword and rank, the Crusader Lord Marraldor will continue to give you quests tide to the Crusaders, but you can also ask him for an alternative assignment, which will send you off on a diplomatic mission to Västhelm, which then develops into more than just a simple diplomatic assignment. Follow the installation instructions when installing! For those still having problems with the installation (although it's pretty easy and straightforward), I've written a FAQ with everything explained in great detail. This FAQ is included in the download.
Dibella's Watch came in second in the TesNexus File of the Month voting for September 2011. It is a great honour and success for this mod, to say the least. It was beaten only by Unnecessary Violence, and that mod is created by a man who can control the game with his mind (I'm actually not joking), so it feels great that this can only be passed by greatness like that and indeed took an honourable second position! Thanks to all who voted for Dibella's Watch, and please do continue to vote for and endorse this project.
Dibella's Watch isn't done, y'all! I'm still working on it. Now comes the time for patching and correcting small problems as well as adding all the new stuff I can come to think of. So, continue to report problems and give me suggestions. I'll be here, working on this, at least for a month still. When Skyrim comes along, I will disappear into my darkness for a while, only to pop on out again with more great mods for that game as well! Yay! Can't wait!

Is this mod compatible with OOO/FRANS? I would really like to try it but don't want to corrupt my file
Dibella's Watch is completely compatible with Oscuro and the like, because it does not alter anything in Tamriel, but only adds to its own worldspace.
Really promising mod, but alot of game breaking problems. First, alot of things are purple, second, some parts of all people are invisible, third, crashes after a few seconds in dibella's watch. am i doing something wrong?
Yes you are. Follow the installation instructions in the ReadMe (Oblivion/Data/DWReadMe.txt) and check that your game meets all the requirements. All that is found and clearly outlined in the ReadMe.
One question, the oblivion/data directory already has a textures folder, do i overwrite it with dibella's one?
Yep. Overwriting, or rather merging, won't delete anything, but just add to the Data/Textures folder. If you have some of the armours or whatever from before, it will ask to overwrite, and since these are the same textures overwriting, it's also safe.
yea hell yea!!! Version one!!! now haows about makin more cows in the mod!!?? otherwise its good but more cows and perhaps a bull and an cow child too!!!
i think ther shoud be more grass! there are also soem barrels in da wrong place in one of da cow passturse .... da pitchhfork scares me real bad too!!!! otherwise dis mod is good!!! but change these issuse an work more on teh cow environment!!!
Thank you for these valuable tips. I'll be sure to implement them in the patch!

Supreme Court ruling puts a happier spin on Diversionary's 'Marry Me a Little'
"Marry Me > a Little"
When: Previews begin Aug. 29. Opens Sept. 7. Performances: 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays (except 7 p.m. Sept. 7); 2 p.m. Sundays (except 8 p.m. Sept. 1); plus 8 p.m. Sept. 4, 16, and 23; and 3 and 5:30 p.m. Sept. 21. Through Sept. 29.
Where: Diversionary Theatre, 4545 Park Blvd., University Heights
Tickets: $30-$59
Phone: (619) 220-0097
Online: diversionary.org
The title song from "Marry Me a Little" also shows up in "Company," which Cygnet Theatre is presenting through this weekend.
One look at the color-coded gender checkerboard that Diversionary Theatre created to help ticket-buyers pick performances of "Marry Me a Little," and you know there's something a little different about this production.
Diversionary's staging of the Stephen Sondheim musical work is actually three versions of the same show: One starring two women, another with two men, the third with a male-and-female couple. (Hence the pink, purple and blue hues on the theater's online calendar.)
The idea to mix things up a bit for this revival of the esteemed composer's romantic revue came from director James Vasquez, a frequent Diversionary collaborator who also has directed at the Old Globe (and runs a film production company with actress Carrie Preston of HBO's "True Blood").
Vasquez first pitched the idea of staging "Marry Me a Little" with two men (the original focuses on a man and woman, both single) in 2008, when the anti-gay-marriage Proposition 8 was on the California ballot. That version, he says, was going to have much more of an "activist feel."
The change to the current incarnation's more celebratory spin springs from the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in June to leave in place a federal judge's ruling that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional.
"And (then) I thought, if we're celebrating the summer of marriage equality, let's not just do it with two (male characters)," Vasquez explains. "Let's celebrate everybody's story."
From that inspiration came the concept of presenting the three versions in rotating repertory. (Playgoers can see all three in one day Sept. 21.)
Stewart Calhoun, Jacob Caltrider, Sarah Errington and Mitzi Michael star in the Diversionary production of "Marry Me a Little," which is made up mostly of outtakes from other Sondheim-composed shows. And Vasquez says the actors' alternating takes on the piece have stirred some quiet revelations in rehearsal.
"Everybody is bringing their own unique personal experiences, but they're also learning from their counterparts," the director says. "The guys will watch the girls doing a run, and say, 'Oh, I didn't think of doing it that way.'"
"We all bring our own experiences — but ultimately, love is love."

There were not too many "ladies" in the metal business of
the 1980's. Lita Rossana Ford, born in London in 1958 and her
family moved to the USA when she was four years old. Lita began
playing the guitar when she at 11 years of age, and by 16 she was the
lead guitarist for a band called "The Runaways", that also included Joan

over artistic differences, and Lita Ford began a solo career.
Lita Ford's first release, 1983's Out For Blood,
was not a commercial success, although 1984's Dancin' on the Edge
faired better. Two songs from this 1986 album that you might
remember are "Fire in My Heart" and "Gotta Let Go" (this song hit #1 on
the mainstream rock charts). Lita's next release was not until 1988,
and the release of
featuring the hits "Kiss Me Deadly" and "Close My Eyes Forever"
(with Ozzy), was her most successful release to date. Many
people do not know that Sharon Osbourne was Lita's manager for this
Although further releases did not meet with much
commercial success, Lita did continued on. In 2008, Lita Ford
returned and could be found in both the recording studio and at mega

Chilli from TLC may be single, ready to mingle (and probably will be for a long time, considering her insane potential suitor qualifications, but we'll talk about that later) but she does have abs to die for.
Girlfriend is showing off her pack on the cover of Fit Fitness and let me just tell you, Chilli is 41 years old and she still has that baby hair! How does she do it?
Well, it seems to me instead of trying to find a man, girl is spending most of her waking hours in the gym.
"Being healthy isn't just about looking great, for me its about really living your best life. The things you do to and for your body today predict your health tomorrow," Chilli said.
FitFigures CEO and founder, Dionne D. Davis, said about Chilli's feature in the mag, "Our goal is to reach out and encourage those that struggle with diet and exercise and give support to those that implement this lifestyle on a daily basis and felt that Chilli was a perfect example of how you can balance being a mother and a business woman, and still get that workout in. She is the Twitter mother of workouts. She encourages her fans to workout and eat right. Chilli is the epitome of a multitasker. NO EXCUSES!"
Speaking of excuses, Chilli has too many damn excuses for not having a man. From what I know, girl doesn't want a man who smokes and he can't drink and can't eat pork. He also has got to got to church, love Lifetime movies, volunteer at homeless shelters, floss three times a day, love dogs, hate cats, can't drive over 45 mph and have a big penis.
She's going to be single for a long, long time.

Should my Ex be in the delivery room when I have our baby?
I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and engaged to a different man than who I got pregnant by. I'm being told I am heartless because I don't see why he should be in the delivery room. For the past 3 months, my baby's father hasn't asked how she's doing or how the appointments are going. I used to constantly send him messages letting him know how she is doing, but I got tired of the one-way conversations. My fiance and his family have been a huge help and have been there every step of the way since we have been together and I have already decided that he WILL be in the delivery room.

I'm going to agree with the last 2 pps. It is his child, and if he is going to be involved then he should be there at the birth. If you aren't going to let him in the room for the birth, then honestly you shouldn't have your fiancee in there. I understand that your fiancee has been supporting you, but I would be pissed if someone else welcomed my child into the world and I wasn't allowed to be there. Imagine if you weren't allowed to be at your chid's birth. Offer it to him. He doesn't have to be in there the whole time, but when the baby is born, he should have that. It is his child - whether you like it or not.posted 01/15/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
If your "EX" has not been involved for some time now, why would you even consider him in the delivery? I don't even know if I would inform the biological dad of the delivery! It would be totally different if he were involved throughout the pregnancy. Let him know when its convenient for you and your fiance'.posted 12/13/2010 by freetime32
personally I don't think the men should be in there at all...I'm planning on having my mom and one of my sisters....most of my sisters only had my mom and one of her friends (I have 12 nieces and nephews)...my one sister with her last had her hubby in so he could video tape it though and another sister had about a dozen firemen and ems there...but being your ex, there is no reason for him to be there. if you have both decided he can see the baby after its born he can come see when you get to the room or back home. If he really wants to be there he can wait in the waiting room. youll be stressed and pissed enough during labour, why have someone there to make it worse?posted 12/18/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
No way. Having your ex there would send him very mixed messages, probably be stressful for you and be disrespectful of your Fiance'. Tell him he is your ex and he doesn't get to see your junk anymore!posted 12/23/2010 by Galadryl
So he was good enough to sleep with and make the baby with, but not good enough to watch her come into this world? yes, it's your birth experience, however it's also his child and you are setting the tone for the rest of your life with him if you do this. your daughter will resent you for that. Your job as her mother is to get along with her father no matter how you personally feel about him. Yes your finance can be there too, however, I feel the father deserves the right to be there as well.posted 12/30/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Well my beautiful baby girl was born on 12/15 and my ex never showed up. He has yet to see her or even ask to see her. He never asks how shes doing. He also claims to be getting a lawyer to give up all his rights.posted 12/30/2010 by Kevinsmommy08
It's totally up to you..if you feel like he doesn't need to be there then don't let him in especially if he hasn't been your support system throughout your pregnancy. me and the father of my baby aren't together and he'll be lucky if i even call him and let him know that i'm in laborposted 01/10/2011 by mrsmonst3r
Hmmp. I wouldn't let him in, considering that he doesn't care about his own baby.posted 02/11/2011 by Syriahsmommy
If your ex will be expected to pay child support and if his name will be on the birth certificate, I would at least ask him if he would like to be present. Regardless of how the two of you feel about each other that is his child too. I understand why you wouldn't but if he's going to be a part of this child's life it would be best to learn to be civil now. There will be many birthdays, school plays, concerts, dances, graduation, etc. My parents divorced when I was 4 and it was soooo hard with them at each others' throats all the time. Now, 22 years later, they are learning to be civil and actually, my mom, step dad, and my dad all get along pretty well. We all had Thanksgiving together and will be having Christmas together!! I only wish they had learned to be decent to each other when we were kids. It would have spared so many problems, fights, hurt feelings, etc. Good luck and remember to always do what's best for the baby!!posted 12/10/2010 by mommy to Arthur 5
How would you feel if you weren't allowed to attend the birth of your child? If he wants to be there, he has every right. He doesn't need to be there through your entire labor and all that - your fiance can help you through that. But he should be allowed in the room when HIS child is born. If he really doesn't care, then he probably won't show up anyway. Have you asked him if wants to be there? Because if not, then you won't even have to worry about it anymore.posted 02/12/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

A: According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word emollient describes something that's "soothing to the skin," helping to make it "soft or supple." How do they work? Unlike other ingredients that penetrate to the deeper layers of skin, emollient ingredients function to lock in hydration in the outermost layer, known as the stratum corneum, which is made of up several layers of dead skin cells.
A: Dermatologist Dr. Neal Schultz explains to About that if the lines linger after you stop smiling, then they're crow's feet. The good news? Since you're still in your 20's, there's plenty of time to treat these pesky signs of aging and prevent new crow's feet from forming. Add both a retinol-based anti-aging eye cream and an eye cream with SPF to your skincare routine.
A: Absolutely. However, there's a growing market of men's skincare brands which offer high quality eye creams just for him. Anthony Logistics Anti Aging Continuous Moisture Eye Cream, Billy Jealousy Wipe Out Eye Cream and NUXE Men Multi-Purpose Eye Cream are excellent options.
When it comes to first impressions, the eyes are usually the most notable feature. Unfortunately, this area is most susceptible to showing the signs of aging and fatigue. Thankfully, there's an eye cream that can combat any issue – including fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles – to improve your appearance and boost your confidence. Here's a guide to picking the perfect eye cream – including the ingredients to look for and helpful lifestyle tips for improving the appearance of your peepers.
1. Combat crow's feet
Those pesky little lines that develop around the corner of your eyes – commonly known as crow's feet – are often the first sign of aging. On average, crow's feet are likely to appear during your mid-30's, but can develop as early as your 20's or as late as your 40's.
Why do crow's feet occur? First, skin around the eyes is much thinner and tends to be drier than elsewhere on the face, making it more susceptible to developing winkles. To make matters worse, common facial expressions like smiling and squinting cause skin around the eyes to crease and crinkle – also contributing to crow's feet. Finally, environmental factors including smoking and UV exposure can accelerate the formation of these fine lines. Although genetics may influence the appearance of crow's feet, a combination of products and daily habits can reduce the appearance of existing lines and prevent new ones from forming.
Since exfoliating exposes new skin that's especially susceptible to sun damage, always use exfoliants in combination with an SPF eye cream. For best results, apply the SPF eye cream during the day to defend against sun damage and the anti-aging eye cream at night, since UV rays can actually break down the powerful anti-aging ingredient retinol, making it less effective.
2. Brighten dark circles
For many, dark under-eye circles are the biggest battle in maintaining a healthy and youthful appearance. Although genetics can contribute to naturally darker skin pigment, the thinning of skin as we age can also play a role in dark circles, as dark blood vessels become more visible beneath the skin's surface. In addition, sun damage can cause darkening of the skin (called hyperpigmentation), while fatigue and menopause may worsen the appearance of dark circles.
3. Reduce puffiness
Puffy eyes can plague your appearance and are formed when fluid accumulates beneath the eyes. From salty foods and alcohol to allergies and hormones, many factors contribute to swollen eyes.
4. Quench dryness
Not only is skin around your eyes nearly four times thinner than elsewhere on the face, but it also contains far fewer oil glands, making it especially susceptible to dryness. And since dry skin only accentuates the look of aging and dullness, maintaining moisture is critical for eyes that are ageless and radiant.
5. Prevent sun damage
Using SPF daily can take years off your eyes by preventing the formation of lines, wrinkles and age spots. Since normal sunscreens may irritate the delicate eye area, use a specially formulated SPF eye cream to defend without irritation.
Eye creams for ageless eyes
Bright, healthy skin around the eyes can help you feel confident in all aspects of your life – from putting your best face forward at the office to feeling comfortable in photographs. Whether you're concerned with combating the signs of aging, concealing the signs of fatigue or preventing future damage, there's an eye cream to suit your every need.

It functions as a store-atelier where customers can get customized pieces and outfits.When a client decides to buy a product, it is ordered online and sent to his or her address of choice within 48 hours. Orders are shipped free of charge to all delivery countries included in Desigual's online shop.
The store's interior has been equipped with antique and foreign furniture and decorations.
In order to create an inviting setting that is cosy and unique, the store's interior has been equipped with antique and foreign furniture and decorations such as large leather sofas, an open fire place, Turkish carpets, travel souvenirs and patchwork wall paper. Much importance was attached to the usage of sustainable materials such as organic paints and eco-friendly wood.
Within the new store, which runs under the headline "La Vida es Chula" ("Life is Cool"), the pieces of clothing are arranged according to so-called flair "families," each consisting of about 1,200 products. "We are always studying and experimenting with new store concepts while updating our existing ones," continued Adell, who strongly believes in the importance of updating the image of the brand's stores as well as the product offer inside, while mixing and integrating the brand's main collection along with the capsule collections and special collaborations such as, for instance, L Line, which was designed in collaboration with Christian Lacroix.
According to Desigual, more shops featuring the new showroom concept shall be opened in other cities and countries in the future, with interiors and furniture always carefully targeted to the respective market. The Barcelona location is also planned to be used for art exhibitions, installations and fashion shows.

Posted 12 March 2013 - 05:48 PM
can i add a second socket (meta) that u get from the black prince to my off hand weapon? when i tried to add a sha touched gem to both weapons i couldnt equip it. i wanna know if i buy the eye or whatever from the prince and add too my off hand will this happen again? i have 2-two handed axes the first has the sha touched gem 500 strengt and the meta 320 crit, i cant add the 500 strength to the second as it wont equip but can i add the meta socket and gem it?
Posted 12 March 2013 - 08:47 PM
Yes you can. The sha-touched gem is Unique-Equipped, which means you can only have one in your equipped gear at any given time, but the Eye of the Black Prince is not. As long as you have x2 sha-touched weapons or Throne of thunder weapons you can add 2 prismatic sockets to your weapons Hope this help, -Rage

Zahara Is A Budding Fashionista With A $330 CoatJosh Loposer
Suri Cruise isn't the only celebrity kid with a taste for the finer things in life… namely high fashion.
On Tuesday, photographers caught up with Brad Pitt and Zahara in Paris, where Zahara was reportedly sporting a $330 double-breasted coat by Alice + Olivia.
Hey, it's no $850 purse, but Zahara's parents definitely laid down some pretty serious cash to keep her in the latest fashions. Is Zahara trying to give Suri a run for her parents' money?
Still, even at 5 years old, it's a little less than shocking that a kid (who's parents are two of the planet's highest-paid actors) would have a $330 jacket, IMO.
Especially when you compare that price tag with Suri's $850 purse. Once again, that's a purse, a fashion accessory in which money is kept. At 3-years-old, we've got to assume that Suri's bankroll isn't too enormous… but you never know. A jacket, on the other hand, is quite a bit more essential this time of year.

Minnesota is known for its people of Norwegian heritage. Thanks to one of them, Tom Maakestad (left), the farmland and rolling hills of Minnesota also will become known in Norway.
Four of Maakestad's landscape paintings of his home state were selected for installation in the Oslo residence of the U.S. ambassador.
"Being of Norwegian heritage, this is an even greater honor," said the member of Christ Lutheran Church, Marine on St. Croix, Minn. He is an alumnus of Luther College, Decorah, Iowa.
Maakestad's work was chosen after a nationwide search by the U.S. Department for Art in Embassies Program. Several art dealers were asked to make presentations, including Mary J. Thorsheim of Norway Art in Minneapolis.
Tom MaakestadThe decision was made to accept four Maakestad pastels, each about 25-inches-by-35-inches, that depict a farmland area in southeast Minnesota, not far from the Mississippi River. He spent several days in the area, making notes, sketching and taking photographs at different times of the day and while the clouds were in various formations. Back at his studio, he used his research and preliminary work to create a series of six paintings — two of which were sold privately.
Maakestad's reputation as a painter, already solid in Minnesota, will undoubtedly receive a boost from this latest honor. His father, John, also a well-known artist, is the retired art department chair at St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minn.
But Maakestad plans to continue dividing his time between graphic design and painting. "The reason I have decided not to be a full-time painter is that for me it's got to be fun," he said. "I want to paint because I enjoy it, not because I have to."
Maakestad would love to some day visit the homeland of his ancestors and see his work at the ambassador's residence. Perhaps he will paint Oslo, and it will end up in a home back in Minnesota — a true cultural exchange.

Bristlenose Pleco temp??
I'm planning on buying 2 German Blue Rams. I'd like to get a small algae eater, and see the profile says the BP can go up to 81 degrees, but I'm setting the temp for 82 for my German Rams. Will this work to get this type of Pleco? If I attempted to breed the German Rams, I'd even raise the temp up to 84, but could move the Pleco to my other tank during that time if need be. Anyone has these with German Blue Rams and had success? Thanks
Bristlenose would prefer cooler water, Eighty degrees is near upper extreme for this fish .
Once drew the ire of some Discus keeper's when I suggested that they give same consideration to tank mates that they often place in their warm water tanks, that they do their Discus, (ie) cory's, tetra's , plecos.
German blue rams enjoy and seem to do best in soft acidic water, a bit on the warm side of 80 degrees F.
Higher temps are a bit too warm for many tetra's, cory's, and some plecos but it doesn't always matter to some.:|

Article Date: 10/1/2001
From Eggs to Optometry
The pathway to better business skills has been bumpy, to say the least.
Runniger, O.D.
"My assistant phoned a patient who'd made an appointment for the following week," an optometrist told me.
"We found that you never paid for your last examination and glasses 2 years ago," she told him. "We can't give you another appointment until you pay what you already owe."
"I guess you'd better cancel my appointment," he replied. "I can't wait that long."
Obviously, no matter how great a clinician you are, you can't afford to stay in practice if you don't get paid for your services. You must also be a good businessman. The problem with this is that you probably chose optometry as your vocation because you were a lot more interested and proficient in science than in business.
A futile salesman
That was the case with me. The mind-warping entrepreneurial failures I suffered in childhood convinced me that I'd best select a profession to provide sustenance.
My father was a high school teacher who was never happy with the remuneration his profession afforded. Therefore, he decided that his number-one son (me) should learn the attributes of a successful businessman, so that I could one day achieve the financial success that had escaped him.
His first effort came when I was 10 years old. To develop my sales skills, he had me sell magazines door to door. They sold for 10 cents, and for each one I sold, I received a commission of 2 cents. After 3 days, I'd earned a grand total of 8 cents.
My dad came to the erroneous conclusion that the problem couldn't be his elder son's lack of ability, but a flawed product. So when we visited relatives who lived on a farm, he purchased 20 dozen eggs for me to peddle from my wagon.
As I recall, I was able to sell about six dozen. The remainder of the eggs were about evenly divided between those that I broke and those that rotted before I could sell them. Guess I should've stuck to magazines.
A slight change of pace
Dad finally recognized that he'd probably go broke if he kept financing my entrepreneurial enterprises. From then on, he steered me into salaried positions such as mowing lawns, caddying, working in a grocery store, etc.
However, he'd implanted the entrepreneurial bug in me, so when I went off to college I searched for easy ways to make money.
Thus I was easy prey for the fraternity brother who sold me the house laundry concession for $150. "You'll make good money, and later you can get the $150 back by selling the concession to an incoming freshman," he assured me.
Two months later, Pearl Harbor was attacked, and soon most of us went off to war. Among the casualties was my $150.
The fraternity house candy bar concession was another of my college business attempts. Gross sales were excellent, as the candy sold like hot cakes. Only difficulty was that the machine offered a great bargain -- for every nickel placed in the slot, the machine delivered the candy bar of choice -- and refunded the nickel along with it.
Success from failure
These failures served the purpose of convincing me I'd probably starve as a businessman, and led me to the fortunate decision to study optometry.
And then I discovered I had to learn to be a businessman anyway.
C'est la vie.

December 1, 1998
The article on lost com strategies (" Instrument Insights: Too Quiet in the Cockpit," October Pilot) was excellent. The investment in an external antenna connection for a handheld is well worthwhile - otherwise you'd be lucky to transmit farther than five miles.
I wonder, though, how many lost coms are self-inflicted. My first came during a bumpy ride and some NDB idents. When I got back on the ground, I was embarrassed to find the "Auto" button on the audio panel unselected. On the typical Bendix/King audio panel, it sits next to the NDB button and is easy to release unintentionally. I've never seen anything written on this, nor was its value ever explained to me in training. Surely, auto should be the de-fault setting.
John W. Ward AOPA 1262326 Mamaroneck, New York
I enjoyed the article on lost com procedures. However, you forgot to mention one of the most common causes of lost communications: the stuck mic.
The stuck mic will broadcast to the outside world every comment a pilot utters in the cockpit, a potentially embarrassing situation, while blocking all reception. This can tie up an entire frequency.
If you suspect that you have a stuck mic, key the push-to-talk switch. If you hear a break in the static, you're OK. If you don't hear any change, check to make sure that your microphone plug is secure. You might also want to unplug it completely if you can't troubleshoot the problem.
David Thornton AOPA 1104019 Dewy Rose, Georgia
Marc E. Cook described a device from Radio Shack "that is, essentially, a short length of coaxial cable with a small bracket and a suction cup ..." that will allow you to remote the antenna from your handheld to the window." Could you please give me the name or part number for this device? No one I have talked to at our local Radio Shack has any idea what this item is.
Ross Tracey AOPA 1211448 Niantic, Connecticut
The Radio Shack item apparently is no longer available. However, similar antenna extensions are available from Sporty's Pilot Shop (800/543-8633, item 1654, $40) or Aircraft Spruce and Specialty (800/824-1930, part 11-18603, $34), among other vendors - Ed.
I really enjoyed Daniel Pimentel's article (" Papa Louie, the Old Radio, and Flying") in the October Pilot. I also have a connection between old radios and flying. I have been repairing and restoring antique radios for 23 years. I have always been interested in airplanes, but thought that they were only for the very wealthy. In 1991 a friend gave me an old copy of Trade-a-Plane, and I found that not all airplanes cost as much as my house. Since I enjoyed restoring radios more than owning them, I decided to try to sell my most valuable radios and buy an inexpensive old airplane.
By December 1992 my wife and I both had our private tickets - earned in our own 1960 Cessna 172. I keep my airplane expenses low by being involved in repairs and preventive maintenance. The small antique radio business keeps my airplane flying by providing enough funds to cover the costs. Now, if I can just figure out a way to fund the restoration of that 1952 Tri-Pacer sitting in my garage ....
Stanley Watkins Charlotte, North Carolina
I really enjoyed James Wynbrandt's article " Game Day" (October Pilot). Having a 90-horsepower Aeronca 7CCM (L–16B), low and slow is our way of life, and my wife and I have known the joy of spotting deer and bighorn sheep in our local San Gabriel Mountains and have observed herds of pronghorn on the high plains of Wyoming.
The article and photographs brought back great memories, but I can't help wondering about the legality of the markings on the North Dakota Game and Fish Department Scout, N93GF.
As I read the regulations for nationality and registration marks, the small numbers on the tail are OK, but there is a paragraph stating that it should display no other mark that begins with the letter N anywhere on the aircraft unless it is the same marking as the registration numbers. It seems that by that standard the marking of NDGF on the side is clearly outside of the "letter of the law."
Just a small nitpick on an otherwise great magazine.
Thomas B. Petry AOPA 887022 Montclair, California
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's state-owned Scout falls under the FAA's definition of a public aircraft and is therefore exempt from that requirement of Federal Regulation Part 45 - Ed.
We appreciate the story on the Commander 114TC (" Commander 114TC: Capable Cruiser") in your October issue. The article was a comprehensive look at the many things we are doing at Commander to provide a first-class array of products, programs, and services for our customers and those interested in Commander. I would like to correct several points in the article to ensure your readers have an accurate understanding.
Commander is not considering the leasing program described in the article, or any other leasing program, other than those offered by institutions that provide purchase and lease financing for general aviation aircraft.
The statement that most Commander owners are "low-time pilots who want high performance and don't yet meet the insurance requirements…" is totally inaccurate. In fact, our owners are all types of individuals and businesses with varying degrees of flying experience and utilization needs. The one thing they all have in common is the desire to own an aircraft that provides the ultimate combination of performance, comfort, safety, and utility.
The article alludes to our turbo-charged 114TC as the follow-on to earlier Rockwell designs, completely omitting the fact that Commander Aircraft Company, incorporated in 1988, spent nearly four years and made a substantial investment to certify our company's Commander 114B, which has been in production since 1992. The normally aspirated Commander 114B includes new systems, interior, panel, and aerodynamic streamlining that resulted in a marked increase in both comfort and performance to the Rockwell design.

" Safety Pilot: Wake Turbulence" (October Pilot) was a great article, but in the congested skies of the San Francisco Bay area, even when I file IFR, approach routinely routes jet traffic above me when I cross the bay. The vertical separation is not that great, and when they call traffic, I immediately think "wake" and wait for the thump. This not only detracts from the IFR thought process, but it gets me into an aerobatic mindset should I cross the wake. There is no way around this in the Bay Area as we routinely traverse the final approach paths of San Francisco, Metropolitan Oakland, and San Jose international airports. I'm seriously considering a course in aerobatics. Would you agree?
Kevin Collopy AOPA 773180 San Carlos, California
Bruce Landsberg responds: A basic aerobatic course would be good; let the instructor know why you want it so that you can focus on that type of unusual attitude. Many corporate flight departments and air carriers now provide this training. You can also plan different routings to avoid being below a regular arrival or departure route. Finally, if you do have a wake encounter of any substance, advise ATC and file a NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System form. This will help us to monitor the problem - Ed.
Thomas B. Haines' " Waypoints: Floats and Boats" (October Pilot) was good, enjoyable reading, but I think the author got it backwards when he said that a dirty configuration creates more wake turbulence than a clean one. The way I learned, it is the opposite.
Wake turbulence (a.k.a. wingtip vortices) is more severe at high angles of attack (AOA). For a given airspeed, the AOA is higher without flaps than with. By my recollection, the correct answer to the private pilot exam question to which Haines refers is slow and clean, rather than slow and dirty, as written in the article.
Flaps and landing gear may perturb the wake somewhat, but the dominant effect (and danger) is from the vortices that extend back from the tips of the wings, and these are reduced when flaps are deployed.
John Stephens AOPA 686015 Potomac, Maryland
The author is correct. However, we recommend giving any large aircraft ample separation, regardless of its configuration - Ed.
I read with keen interest Peter A. Bedell's piece on the new lightweight two-cycle diesel engines (" Enginuity: Progressive Powerplant," October Pilot).
Having worked with diesel engines all my considerable life, I find the statement that "the mixture instantly ignites" a little misleading. The fuel has to enter the combustion chamber in a continuous metered stream. The abundant supply of oxygen mixes with the fuel as it is sprayed into the cylinder, and the compression and increased temperature cause each particle of the misted fuel to ignite instantly as it enters the chamber. The result is an even push downward on the piston during the power stroke. If all the fuel were to ignite at the same time, there would be no power stroke.
I feel that, at least in my experience, most people think that in a diesel engine the fuel explodes all at once. If it did, very little power would be developed and the engine would not last very long.
Herb Andersen AOPA 238587 Oceanside, California
It was great to see the beautiful photo of Gaston's Resort in north-central Arkansas on the 1999 AOPA's Airport Directory cover. My wife and I have been flying there for 26 years for lunch, nature trail walks, and overnights. The view from the restaurant overlooking the White River is terrific at any time of the year.
They recently added another nature trail, so there is a choice of the original, which runs along the river, or the new one, which winds up the forested hillside north of the resort. Gaston's is one of the best trout-fishing spots available, with many record or near-record fish caught on a fairly regular basis. This is a really special spot to fly in to.
Dwane Koppler AOPA 450816 Springfield, Missouri
Because of an editing error, a question in November's " Test Pilot" about static pressure was printed with an incorrect answer. The question and answer have been revised and are reprinted in this month's " Test Pilot" (p. 134).
Fiji was misspelled in " Proficient Pilot: Help from Above" (November Pilot).

DRAMA CONTAINS the plays and theatrical works in this free e-book collection. There are ancient plays from the dawn of theatre in Athens, when great playwrights competed every year in festivals, or the Romans who loved theatre so much that in the end it overshadowed the famous gladiatorial matches. There are classical plays from medieval times when theatre emerged from its ban under the early Christian church and was used as a tool to spread the word of the bible to an illiterate population. There are plays right through to modern times and, given his popularity, a whole section for the works of the Bard, William Shakespeare. However, Shakespeare is not the only gifted and prolific playwright and a quick dip into the selections will reveal many more equally worthy of your time and attention, such as Bernard Shaw or Beckett.
The plays here have been written for a variety of stages and performances, from the smallest monologue without a single prop to grand productions requiring hundreds of actors and a huge budget. These e-books contain humerous comedies such as Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" where a group of actors are manipulated and toyed with by the fairies. There are ridiculous farces, such as some of the stories in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. We have sharp satires making political points, despite the genre as a whole being banned for some time after 1599. Lastly there are affecting tragedies such as Christopher Marlowe's controversial Doctor Faustus, where a man sells his soul to the devil, and historical dramas that can contain any of these genres or none.
Of course in the end it is the skill and effort of the cast and crew that makes any performance, but many of these free drama ebooks contain plays that have stood the test of time and been acknowledged as masterpieces of the art. There are also plenty of hidden gems, largely forgotten by the world, that deserve more exposure than they have received, perhaps buried by the power of more famous pieces and writers, although no doubt further works here deserve their obscurity.
There are also numerous scholarly works, critiquing and analysing the more famous plays present here, discussing some of the controversies that seem to follow successful playwrights and even studying the techniques of acting or play writing. Hopefully you will find these free e-books informative, although even the most outdated is a treasure trove from the perspective of the concerns of and techniques used by actors of the time. The history of theatre can be as fascinating as many of the plays themselves, with larger than life individuals colliding or collaborating over their vocation and passion. Playwrights have always known that history is a fertile area for theatre.
If you don't know what you are looking for you certainly can't go wrong with The Best Plays Of 1920-1921, edited by John Arthur Chapman, a collection of the most popular American plays from two years nearly a century ago. There are a range of plays here wide enough that there will be something for everyone.

I think your scale is off. First, your island is 9 squares by 8 1/2 squares so 100 x 40 isn't right, it's more like 90 x 85. Second, with a mountain chain like that I'd expect something more along 900 x 900. If this were a 90 mile island then each square is 10 miles. Mountain chains are pretty wide and would probably not fit here...it would be much shorter and restricted to the main landmass chunk in the middle with maybe a low volcano on an end. I'd cut the mountains off keeping them in the middle and turn the rest into hills but I like the volcano-looking thing in the lower left and the little mountains in the east. Maybe instead of one long chain you should just do a handful of peaks and that might make the scale seem to fit better. Just whip out the eraser and erase em out a bit, pretty easy fix.
On the plus side it looks pretty good and the shape is really nice. One little fix and you're ready for towns and roads and text.
