text: When last we left Masterpiece Classic's Downton Abbey at the close of Season 1, England had just joined World War I and a number of plot lines were left hanging ("Best Video 2011," LJ 1/12, p. 44-45). Viewers of Season 2 will not be disappointed. The crisis of the Great War and its aftermath dominate the action. Downton provides manpower on the fighting field from both upstairs and down, with the rest of the family rising to the occasion. They turn their sumptuous mansion into a convalescent home, although Carson, the butler, still fusses over serving dinner with no footmen! What makes this series so enthralling is the evolving characters, their relationships with one another, and their responses to the inevitable societal changes brought about by the war. As well, it is never predictable. PBS has tackled this period in English history before, but never better than in this Emmy Award--winning series. Bonus features include a close-up on the fashion and uniforms used in the program. VERDICT An excellent cast, which includes the wise and witty Maggie Smith, and a first-rate production make this a series for every public library patron. Downton Abbey is about as perfect as television drama gets.--Joan Greenberg, Warminster, PA[Page 62]. (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Snowman Blue
Personalized Christmas Ornament$12.95
He couldn't be more thrilled to climb the ladder and help dad hang lights along the roof of the house and needs a boost to hang the wreath on the front door. This personalized snowman ornament has a snowman wearing black boots, blue hat and blue scarf, holding a wreath that he is trying to string with colorful Christmas lights. The banner on the wreath can be personalized with a name. This happy snowman makes a great gift for grandchildren and because it has a flat back, can be tied to a package easily.

Basil Thai Cuisine Restaurant Review: Basil turns out reasonably priced plates of spicy beef larb and beautiful curried duck; an array of fresh stir-fries come mildly spiced with more heat on request. The red, green and massaman curries with a choice of chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu are uniformly satisfying. The basil spring roll appetizer appears on virtually every table. Sweet, sticky rice makes a sweet finale. Slick but very noisy, the dining room fills quickly. The staff can handle large crowds with polish. As the restaurant does not take reservations, you will wait at peak dining times. Next door is Chai's lounge, where you can have a glass of wine while waiting.

Movie Review: Game Change
Films about politics are invariably propaganda, and Game Change is no exception. The film, adapted from John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's lurid, misogynist history of the 2008 presidential-primary and general-election campaigns, focuses on only a small part of the book's narrative: the vice-presidential candidacy of Sarah Palin (Julianne Moore). The film begins with John McCain (Ed Harris) hiring Steve Schmidt (Woody Harrelson) as his top campaign strategist, which it follows with a montage presenting McCain's ascendancy to the Republican presidential nomination. After that, though, it's the Sarah Palin story all the way. Or more specifically, it's an attack on Palin dressed up as a cautionary tale about "the dark side to American populism." As hatchet jobs go, it's shallow, mediocre, and not the least bit clever; it does little more than tell the people who love to hate Palin the very things they want to hear about her. The only side of her the film presents with conviction is the narcissistic, intellectually lazy demagogue. The filmmakers acknowledge her phenomenal talent for retail campaigning and her rapport with rural and working–class people, but their understanding of her appeal never goes beyond the superficial. As such, they can't dramatize her charisma with any effectiveness. The portrait the film paints is just as much a caricature as the lampoons Tina Fey did of her on Saturday Night Live; the major difference is that it isn't the least bit witty, much less funny. The picture is mainly just a series of Palin's major campaign moments, punctuated with scenes featuring Schmidt, McCain, and campaign advisor Nicolle Wallace (Sarah Paulson) steaming in aggravation or wringing their hands over what they've inflicted on the American people. As Palin, Julianne Moore gives the role, in both good and bad ways, the Meryl Streep treatment. The attention to surface detail is extraordinary, but her timing is off. It comes across as a lack of spontaneity, and she seems like a programmed android. (There's also a repeated, weirdly discordant aspect to her performance that may or may not be intentional: whenever she smiles, she looks as if she's ready to rip someone apart with her teeth.) The scenes that ostensibly treat Palin sympathetically, such as those between her and her family, are undone by the calculated feel of Moore's performance. Her warmth doesn't feel genuine, and one cannot help but wonder if that's the effect the filmmakers were after. Woody Harrelson, Sarah Paulson, and to a lesser degree Ed Harris are allowed to suggest their real-life counterparts rather than mimic them, and they come across much more as flesh-and-blood people. The contrast seems deliberate; the less Palin is recognizable as a human being, the easier it is to belittle her. The best that can be said for Jay Roach's direction is that the narrative is clear and well paced. The script is credited to Danny Strong.

Movie Review: Casino Royale (2006)
The James Bond franchise has traditionally just replaced one leading actor with another. With Casino Royale (2006), the 21st film in the series, there was not only a new star (Daniel Craig), but also a complete reboot of the character. This adaptation of Ian Fleming's inaugural 1953 Bond novel gives the viewer a more inexperienced Bond, a grittier tone, and far less fanciful trappings. (The famous Bond spy gadgetry, for instance, is all but gone.) The story is fast-paced, espionage-adventure pulp, complete with Third-World terrorists, corrupt financiers, and glamorous international locations. The dramatic hook, though, is the treatment of the Bond character. The film begins as he is promoted to the elite of British secret-service field agents, and this new Bond is easily the most ruthless film version of the character to date. He's a brutal, devious, and all but completely hardened killer. The tension in him comes from his awareness that the violence he traffics in is costing him his soul. His sympathetic side is brought out by his relationship with the British treasury accountant (Eva Green) assigned to oversee him in the high-stakes poker competition that is the story's centerpiece. The film, unlike its predecessors, is not the least bit nonchalant about its violence; the most eloquent moment is when Bond comforts the accountant in her shock from helping him kill an attacking terrorist. The picture also finds a tragic irony in his concluding victory; the humane aspects of him are now completely burned away. Martin Campbell, the director, does a superb job with both the character drama and the action setpieces. The latter are extraordinarily well-executed, with the first half alone providing a daredevil chase through a construction site and an elaborate sequence involving the discovery and foiling of a plot to destroy a luxury jet. As for Daniel Craig, he could not embody this conception of Bond better. Everything about him says thug, but he also makes the viewer feel the character's intelligence as well as the tenderness that's slipping away. The standout performer, though, is Judi Dench, who delivers a droll turn as M, the secret service's head officer. The screenplay is credited to Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Paul Haggis. The excellent cinematography, with gorgeous location work in Italy and the Bahamas, is by Phil Meheux.

Movie Review: The Deep Blue Sea
Rachel Weisz's finely wrought, richly expressive performance is the emotional and dramatic center of The Deep Blue Sea, writer-director Terence Davies' adaptation of Terence Rattigan's 1952 play. The Rattigan material is a variation on the female protagonist's plot line in Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. The setting is London in 1950. Weisz plays the wife of an affluent British judge (Simon Russell Beale) who abandons her marriage for an affair with a dashing former RAF pilot (Tom Hiddleston). The audience is told the story of the affair in flashbacks. The film begins with the heroine's suicide attempt, and it follows her as she both looks back on the relationship and looks forward in an effort to save it. Rattigan may have started with Tolstoy, but the men in his love triangle only recall their antecedents upon first glance. The husband ultimately proves a decent, sympathetic man, and the lover, for all his bravado, is a dissolute fellow unable to make the adjustment to civilian life. The heroine only resembles her precursor at first glance as well: she ends up a hopeful figure, not a tragic one. Terence Davies does a marvelous job of realizing the material for the screen. The tonal shifts between the flashbacks and the story's present tense are beautifully orchestrated. He even includes a movingly ironic homage to the train-station climax in Tolstoy's novel. The three main performances complement each other exceptionally well. Simon Russell Beale's stolidity and Tom Hiddleston's surface confidence are each a form of uprightness, and they both offset and frame Rachel Weisz's exquisitely delicate tremulousness. She returns the favor; her emotional range creates an expectation of depth that prepares the viewer for the dimensions given the male characters. The picture is a lovely piece of work.

Hi all,
I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the last portion of the sleeve directions...
I've almost finished my first sleeve, and am to the "Next Round" directions, where it says to "K to 4 sts before marker, and BO 8 sts". Now, the way mine is, the marker is at the "beginning" of each round, correct? So to complete this last direction, I would: Knit all the way around to the last 4 stitches in the round, and by binding off 8 stitches, I'm actually binding off 4 stitches in the NEXT round???
Does this make sense? I just want to make sure I have it right before I go on to the next sleeve...
Thanks, Debra
Views: 2
That is exactly what you do.
The beginning/end of round marker is the middle of the underarm seam. You will pick up where you left off as you join the sleeve to the body of the cardigan,
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.....good to know I'm on the right track! (this is my first cardigan/first sleeves, so I'm kind of muddling my way through...)
Thanks again!

As holiday shoppers eagerly anticipate Black Friday sales next week, organizers of SERVE's Adopt-a-Family are hoping they might take advantage of some of those deals for the benefit of the children enrolled in the program.
According to Callaway Action Network Director Julie Roark, there are approximately 280 Callaway County children still needing to be adopted through the annual Christmas program.
"We have children as young as 3 months on up to 18 years," Roark said, noting 102 of the remaining children are age 5 or younger.
"It doesn't cost a lot when they're that young to give them a good Christmas," she said.
Some of the most commonly-requested items this year are pants and shirts, boots, coats, bedding and blankets.
"The requests I'm seeing are very, very practical — there aren't a lot of luxury requests ," Roark said. "They're looking for a nice Christmas, not the kind of Christmas you only dream about."
For those who do not feel they have the resources to adopt a family, she said there also is the option to contribute individual items to be given to children with matching requests, or to give to RSVP's Toys for Kids program.
"If they find something that's a really good buy — like two for one or buy one get one half off — and want to bring one to us, they are absolutely welcome," Roark said.
With multiple ways to help and so many children still waiting to be adopted for the holidays, she said she would encourage everyone to get involved with the program.
"This is a hard time for everyone, but it's possible for everyone to participate in some way," Roark said. "There are just so many good reasons as to why to participate," Roark said. "This is a hard time for everyone, but it's possible for everyone to participate in some way — it's a great way, if you've got children, to get them involved."
Carrie Bryant, of Fulton, said her children are one reason her family decided to participate this year.
"I just realized the economy's not good and a lot of people are out of work," Bryant said. "I have children of my own, and I thought it would be nice to provide a nice Christmas for someone else.
"I don't think it takes much to make a big difference in the life of people who are struggling."
She said she is looking forward to taking her children to the store and "getting them involved with the spirit of giving for the Christmas season."
Gwen Welch of Holts Summit gave a similar reason for her family's choice to give back through Adopt-a-Family this year.
"We decided we're reducing everybody's gifts a little bit and giving back. We wanted to show love and compassion," Welch said. "My husband, when he was little, benefited from a similar program, so it means a lot to us to be able to help."
Like Bryant, she said her family is looking forward to shopping for their family.
"We got our list the other day and the kids are all under 7," Welch said. "It's going to be fun shopping for little kids."
For more information, or to adopt a family, contact Roark at (573) 642-6388.

Key to solving world hunger are the small farmers who produce the majority of what the world eats. With targeted investments, we can help these small farmers—particularly women—help themselves as they increasingly engage in effective national food production.
How can your investment help?
Investing in agriculture can make an enormous difference in the lives of individual farmers, their families, and their communities. In Ethiopia, for example, the grain banks Oxfam has supported are helping farmers to keep a reserve for times of hunger while allowing them to develop new markets for their surpluses. We need you to help us carry this life-changing work forward. With your investment, we can continue to support projects like:
• Developing peer-to-peer agricultural training for women in West Africa
• Building more local irrigation systems in Ethiopia
• Helping small farmers in Vietnam and Cambodia to increase rice yields and earn a better income

Army steps up warzone contracting oversight
February 24, 2010
By Kris Osborn
The U.S. Army has more than doubled the amount of Contracting Officers Representatives, or CORs, in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last year in an effort to improve oversight and help rebuild local communities, service officials said.
"We've spent a lot of time determining how best to get the oversight out there," said Col. Timothy Dixon, military deputy to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Procurement.
Within the last year, the number of CORs in Iraq has jumped from a 59-percent fill rate up to a 94-percent fill rate, Dixon said. Similarly, the number of CORs in Afghanistan has more than doubled, jumping from a 38-percent fill rate in January of last year to an 80-percent fill rate by January of this year.
In short, the Army has added hundreds of CORs to the war zone to help oversee local contracting and ensure that goods and services arrive as paid for, Dixon said.
Prior to deployment, CORs must complete a thorough training process, said Lt. Col. John Coombs, Chief of Staff, Operational Contracting Support and Policy Directorate Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary.
"The Army recently issued a directive to all deploying units requiring Commanders to select and train CORs before they arrive in theater. In addition to online training on COR duties and ethics, the Expeditionary Contracting Command is proving on-site training to deploying units based on lessons learned in Iraq and Afghanistan," Coombs said.
The efforts are making a difference, Coombs and Dixon said.
"What we've been working on is getting more Contracting Officers Representatives identified and trained up as part of the pre-deployment process so that when they get into theater they are already ready to go. In most cases now the contracting officers in theater are able to pre-brief the CORs as they coming over with the types of contracts they are going to be dealing with," said Dixon.
For example, the CORs may have the responsibility to monitor the amounts of food, water and electrical power being delivered to a certain forward operating base to ensure the proper quantities arrive, Dixon said.
"We're doing better in Iraq but that of course is a much more mature theater. In Afghanistan we are still advancing into the base camps and expanding as part of the surge that we have had and the surge we are going to have. We are still working to get the number of CORs there higher," Dixon said.
One of the key programs in Afghanistan and Iraq that is related to these efforts is called Commanders Emergency Response Program, or CERP -- a way for local commanders to respond to urgent needs in local war zone communities by funneling money to specific projects.
"If commanders on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan see a need in a local area, they have a limited amount of cash that they could use to assist in meeting that need. For example a commander coming through an area could identify a need for well. They could use CERP funds to get that well dug, or for instance, use the money to put the roof back on a school building. This program was successful in Iraq and is being expanded into Afghanistan," said Dixon.
Part of the rationale for CERP is to funnel needed reconstruction money into local projects and help stimulate combat-zone economies in need of rebuilding, Dixon said. CERP is governed by regulatory guidelines separate from those used for Federal Acquisition Regulation-based contracts.
"The money that comes through CERP is not in our standard DOD contract format; it is very limited but easy to do so that the project officer that is identified by the commander to use those funds can expend those monies to dig that well or put on that roof."
In fact, CERP officers on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan are given small, pocket-sized "Smart Cards" describing the benefits, limitations and rules involved in the CERP program. For instance, the CERP "Smart Cards" explain the processes and chain of command necessary to solicit bids and make an award to a vendor in theater -- all as a way to ensure proper oversight of CERP funds, indicated Coombs.
"We have mass produced those and sent those out to deployed units so they will have that as a pocket sized thing they can look at for reminders," said Dixon.
Also, U.S. Training and Doctrine Command is developing additional training materials on CERP and COR that should be out in early summer 2010, Coombs said.

Rosie refuses to go to the police, telling Sasha that she doesn't want Mullens to get into trouble.

April witnesses a hug between Steph and Dex and takes it upon herself to tell Steph about his brain injury, telling her she doesn't think it's a good time to be in a relationship. Dex overhears and apologises to Steph for April's behaviour. Steph says she's happy to be just friends, but Dex says he wants more and kisses her.
Later, Steph and Dex sleep together, but April turns up determined to get Dex back. She tells Dex she wants to be with him, but is hurt and humiliated when she realises what has happened between them. Dex tells her she needs to accept that they're over.

Why did Lamar get an award? Because the NBA Odom. Zing.
Last night before Game 2 of the Hornets-Lakers series, Lamar Odom got public love for his Sixth Man of the Year award. Then, once the game was underway, he got sneaker love for lacing up a Lakers yellow and purple Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011. Odom did his sixth man thing, notching 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block as the Lakers even the series with New Orleans with an 87-78 win. Perhaps now with an even higher profile, Odom will feel compelled to keep his kicks game award-winning.
In the OKC, Russell Westbrook, himself a Hyperfuse connoisseur, started Game 2 against the Nuggets in his "Home" Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011, then finished the game in the "USA" Nike Zoom Hyperfuse. Sudden pang of patriotism?
The Spurs got even with the Grizzlies in their Game 2, as their kicks highlights included Tony Parker in the Nike Zoom Brave IV, George Hill in the Nike Zoom Sharkley, and Antonio McDyess is the Jordan One6One7.
Your daily NBA Playoff kicks summary awaits. NBA Kicks…

Transcript: E! News Now "15 Body Bouncebacks"
November, 2009
Narrator: Breakups can be fattening – even for a rockstar. Body bounceback number 14 – Alanis Morissette. In 1995, a slender and slightly angry 20 year old Canadian named Alanis Morissette released the album Jagged Little Pill. The record sold more than 30 million copies
AM: I was really making an effort to show myself as someone to be taken seriously - someone who was confident and capable and all of these things.
Narr: By 2005 Alanis had earned 7 grammies and landed hollywood heartthrob Ryan Reynolds. The couple got engaged. One year later Morissette still had the grammies, but she and fiance Ryan Reynolds were finished.
Jessie Pavelka – fitness expert: It's one of those things you gotta make sure you're strong if you're going through a breakup, and don't let your emotions control you - you control them.
Narrator: after the split Alanis went to work on her next album. There were songs to be written, and according to the singer, sandwiches to be eaten. When Alanis took the stage in May 2008 she was twice the woman she used to be.
Patricia Ramos – senior writer, OK! Magazine: Alanis appeared to be a little heavier. It wasn't the Alanis that we were used to seeing rocking out on stage. She was just overall thicker, everything fit a little bit tighter, and she just had a little bit of a different presence.
Meaghan B. Murphy – fitness director, Self Magazine: Alanis went through a stretch where she admits she was a ridiculously self-indulgent, self-professed sloth for 9 months.
Dr. Philip Goglia – author, "Turn up the Heat": Alanis was on kind of a high-yeast food program, and ingesting all that carbohydrate stimulated a weight gain and it stimulates it rapidly.
Narrator: Alanis also claimed a heel injury prevented her from working out for several months. And the pounds piled up.
Jesse Pavelka: When someone gets injured they feel like they can't stick to the routine they were on. But you always have to improvise - you hurt your leg, try working out the upper body as much as you can. There's always a way to get exercise. There's always a way to eat right. And don't let an injury hold you back.
Narrator: That September, Alanis discovered a book that she says changed her life.
Dr. Fuhrman: One of the main things about my book Eat to Live is that it's not just about counting calories and eating less food. I go through the biology and actually the physiology via which higher nutrient consumption suppresses appetite and reduces food addictions and food cravings.
Narrator: The singer embarked on a mostly vegan diet regimen to rejuvenate her 34 year old physique. Alanis cut nearly all meat out of her diet and loaded up on greens beans nuts fruits and tofu.
Dr. Fuhrman: You can't be on a diet with a load of animal products – that's just going to be unhealthy. So a lot people put together well, I can do a healthy diet on a vegan diet – I'll eat a lot of vegetables and beans and berries and nuts and I can take the right supplements and fatty acids to make sure it's perfect. It's not just feeling better physically it's feeling better emotionally and mentally.
Narrator: Alanis claimed her new routine wasn't about weight loss or vanity.
Alanis: I started with eating disorders since I was real young and almost every woman I know has been influenced by society's standards of what is sexual and powerful and aesthetically perfect and it can really kill your self-esteem and completely ruin your relationship with your body which is for me becoming a more profound relationship the older I get.
Narrator: Morissette told reporters she wanted to live to 120
Dr. Fuhrman: The diet I recommend is much more promotion of long life, heart attack protection, reduction of cancer risk, and prevention of dementia and strokes, in other words it's much more aggressive as far as disease protection.
Narrator: Morissette also added a little something called exercise back into the mix.
Jenny Schatzle – personal trainer/life motivator: Alanis Morissette loves to do all these different sports, kickboxing, running, dancing, anything you can do to be active is going to help you. The only way to physically change your body is to shock it.
Narrator: The shocking results became apparent by January 2009. Alanis debuted her new, noticeably skinnier body in a national magazine.
Don Scott – personal trainer: She's toned throughout the arms and you can see her clavicle bone up at the top. She's been dieting and she's definitely been training with weights. There's no doubt about it – she's put in her work.
Mike Alexander – owner, MADfit: Her approach is very total body, which is good – very aerobic, so she's getting cardiovascular exercise which is good for her heart, which she'll need if she's going to be living another 90-some-odd years.
Dr. Fuhrman: She said to me, you know I'm not really doing this as a diet, I just want to take better care of my health. That's the whole point in life - we want to enjoy our life to our fullest as we get older and not age prematurely, and so that's why you can say with assurance that she's not going to yo-yo diet like the other celebrities
Narrator: As for the singer's plan to live to 120, we'll check back in 2094

Researchers reviewed extreme right, extreme left and radical Islamist movements. They found that the risk of violence related to extreme Islam is minimal.
The report does mention by name the extreme right-wing national socialist group Suomen Vastarintaliike (SVL).
The report describes SVL as "a small group, whose ideology will hardly gain wide support in Finland." However, it is considered as potentially dangerous because its members are organised, it is anti-democracy and has a combative spirit.
Risk of immigrant radicalisation
The Interior ministry report warns that a committed and disciplined group of extremists could pose a significant security risk both at a local level and to society as a whole.
However, the report found the risk of violence related to radical Islam to be minimal in Finland. The Ministry of Interior is nonetheless concerned about the radicalisation of second- and third-generation immigrants.
Problems arise if the young become marginalised from Finnish society but no longer feel a part of their parents' culture.
In such cases, neither education nor employment eliminate the possibility of radicalisation, the report concludes.
"International experience shows that the alienation of immigrants from an Islamic background increases the risk that individuals may subscribe to a violent religious worldview," the report notes.
No evidence of extreme left-wing violence has been detected, the report adds. Gate crashing at official events has diminished while animal and environmental activism has become more moderate.
Officials have, though, clearly identified certain isolated individuals who show a readiness to commit violent acts. The internet is considered a major vehicle for fanning the flames of extremist rhetoric.

I have handled security for seniors such as: Secure transportation, personal protection, home/estate security, fraud/scam protection, crisis counseling, elder abuse, and now, protectiong seniors, from personal computer attacks, such as online scams from spam/false emails.
I take care of my parents now. They are both 78 and we all live together. Now luckily, they still get around fine. However, I take care of all the home/property maintenance, food shopping, etc.
When I served with FEMA (as a Federal Security Officer coordinating security at disaster sites all over the world), one of my duties was to provide security for seniors/elders who lost their homes or had to be evacuated and live in temporary shelters. I also lectured seniors/elders on affairs concerning scam artists who prey on seniors at disaster sites, and lectured seniors on crisis management issues on how to rebuild their lives after a disaster hit.
So, I am looking for seniors who need secure and safe transportation for medical appointments/meetings, secure and safe escort if they need to go some place where they don't feel safe, or are looking for ways to make their home more secure, especially if they live alone. I can also help secure personal computers. We see many stories these days on how seniors are victims of email and online scams, where their life savings get depleted.
I love dogs and tolerate cats, and I don't mind having a dog in my vehicle if a senior wants to have the dog come along during transport.

Welcome to the Guild Authur!
If you are new to Photoshop in general, be sure to check out both
The sticky by RPMiller here: Photoshop Basics and
Pyrandon's VIDEO tutorial(s) for the PS neophyte100% Photoshop mapping newbie? Here's a video tut for you
City map tuts by Pyrondon: Eneini: a medieval city tutorial (in Photoshop)
Koppollex: A medieval town map tutorial in Photoshop
Ravells: how to draw nice maps - intro level [photoshop]
Pyrandons map for making an artsy type regional map:My Thracioth map walk-thru (Photoshop)
Also, don't be afraid to take a look at some other tutorials after you let the above sink in. Though some of the techniques might be a bit different, many of the things you can do in GIMP can be done in Photoshop and visa versa, though you might have to get some creative workarounds.
Also, post up your works in progress in new threads and let us know the software used each time (or put it into your sig if you use the same thing). We will be more than happy to help point you in the right direction along each step.
Design philosophy stuff:
Though there are many different thoughts, here are my thoughts on how things should be done and the order:
Regional or World map:
Rivers/inland lakes/seas
legend (though a simple, throwaway scale is nice at the first stage!)
For Cities and towns, you have to do some more thinking ahead of time. For example, is the town/city planned or did it just grow? This is super important if you want to put up any type of stonework or walls or such. If planned, you have a bit more free reign, but if it grew slowly, then you have to be careful with your placement of walls. Very few fantasy cities could afford a 3 mile long wall circling a city unless resources were abundant or some type of magic was involved. What generally happened if a city was constantly being attacked is that multiple walls sprouted up from around (ie, radiating outward from) a central defensible point over time. So a small wall is built, then as people move to the city and live on the outskirts and get attached, a new wall might be built a bit larger around the original and this process may continue several times over a hundreds of years. Likewise, unless the land outside the city is super bad, there will always be some outliers for farms, perhaps brave nobles, etc who don't want to(or can't afford to) live in the city proper. For farms, you must have someone to tend the crops and in most cases, someone is not going to walk for an hour from the city out to the farms everyday.
Another thing to think about is where does the waste go? Dead, food scrapes, human waste, etc. A fast moving river is usually a good dumping place (well, for the people who need to get rid of it, not necessarily in general or for the people downstream!) Things like paved streets, while nice are not going to happen often again unless magic or the kingdom is wealthy, at least not on every path (there may be some.) If you try shadows on buildings, be careful, a drop shadow tends to make things look like they are floating while an outer glow gets the illusion of height without the floating thing.
Well, I am sure there is some stuff I missed, but this should get you started. And again, if you are not sure of something, just post up a copy of your map and we will try to help you out.

Hi from Myanmar!!!
Hello everybody!!!
I am from Myanmar(South East Asia). I keep fish start from 5 years old . I breed some cheap fishes to get some money when i was young. Start from that , keep all kinds of fish and finally stuck on discus(king of aquarium). Now i breed discus for my hobby(boring now).
So i decided to do another project , marine reef!!!!. There is no shop selling marine fish or related equipments, no sea salt. It means nobody keep marine aquarium in my country.
Now i imported merine aquarium tank(150 gallon) from china and already installed. Now i am waiting for sea water. I have to ask my friend to bring sea water from his fishing boat. After that i have to go and collect marine fish and corals my self. So it's very difficult to finish that aquarium. I 'll need some question in future steps after i get sea water. Now i am trying to learn as musch i can.

The Lafayette County Sheriff's Office says the 53-year-old was mapping the springs' cave that flows into the Suwannee River.
Authorities do not suspect foul play.

Don't get me wrong, it's still great, but I don't find myself enjoying the show nearly as much as I used to. There's still a few good quotes in each show, but the romances seem to be taking away quite a bit from what used to be the funniest show on television. There's way too many cringe moments.
I've yet to watch tonight's It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, but for the most part I've laughed a lot more during that show than The Office in the early goings of the new seasons.
I will say I just about pissed my pants when Michael said, "It squeaks when you bang it... That's what she said" in tonight's episode.
Update(11:30 PM ET): Well I just saw It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and it was absolutely hilarious again.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 37 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by PLGuss Disappointed with the sizing chart I put my measurements into the sizing chart and was told to order a size 8. Well, I normally wear a size 4 (5'4, 125 lbs) but have never ordered from Travel Smith before so was unsure about their sizes. I ordered these pants in an 8 and the original fit twill pants in a 4. Guess what? The size 4 fit fine and the size 8 was huge. Just a warning about the sizing chart - order your normal size. Having said that, these pants seem to be made well. They are just too big for me. The fabric seems very sturdy, but is heavier than I wanted. March 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by MsSniggins My "go-to" travel pants I bought my pair of these pants several years ago so I hope they are still the same. I adore them. They have worn like iron. I am 5'6" and weigh about 140 on any given day and the size 10 is a great fit. I love them for travel to the tropics in winter because you can zip off the bottoms on arrival so you don't die of heat on the way to your hotel. Great hiking pants; they eat dirt and clean up perfectly when washed. They have a trimmer fit than my nylon elastic waisted pair so I don't look so bottom heavy in these. They are a sort of medium weight, not real heavy nor real light, which is good for me. Pockets are nice and roomy. Can't say enough good things. Except I do get a pat down when I wear them through the metal detectors. Don't know why; the zippers are not metal! Once in a while the lower leg has come unzipped when I have not gotten it on right, but I just zip it back on and it is fine. July 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Buyer2306 I really took these to a Safari! I think the quality of these pants were very high. I am older person so if I was thinner maybe my normal size 12 would have fit but as it was I had to go up one size. But I love the pants. December 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Slavetofashion Great hiking pants These zip-off pants/shorts are ideal for unpredictable weather and the sturdy fabric is perfect for a hike or safari. Well-made and comfortable. Highly recommend them. October 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by GrandMotherJ Comfy....Fabric washes & dries well If you are a "Boomer" or not, that needs a fuller fit these Convertible Pants are for you. I'm 66 years of age, 5'3", thicker in the waist & butt, weigh 175 lbs & very active. I ordered the Petite & had to let the hem down as much as I could, about 1/2" to have a comfortable length for my height. I would have ordered a Regular & shortened them but the legs have zippers at the ankle & that alteration is MUCH more difficult. The cotton Poplin fabric is of good quality that washes & dries well. If you are particular about little wrinkles & know what an Iron is used for, they may need a tad of ironing on the seams but you can easily get away without using that dreaded four letter word IRON at all :o ) February 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BarbA Very nice looking and funtional My devoted husband got these pants for me before we went on a photo trip. I particularly like the fact that they are not nylon. They fit comfortable in petite size. He says I look gorgeous in them and I'm also pleased with the way they look. They fit well, wear well and the convertible feature is a real plus for trips with cool mornings and warm afternoons. I've tried other convertibles that were uncomfortable when sitting on the zipper. These pants are comfortable. They work. It is best to take them out of the drier before they are fully dry so they will be less mussed. It would be nice if they cost a little less but overall, they are worth it. October 4, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Brasileira Almost Excellent I bought these convertible pants in the same color that I bought the Safari jacket in order to create a travel outfit for air and train travel. The pants' 5 pockets plus the jacket's 8 pockets allow me to carry just about all I need so that I don't need a large shoulder bag, tote bag and carry-on. I bought a size 10P because I'm petite-medium at just 5 feet tall. That size fit me perfectly and I had no hemming to do. I would have given these pants 5 stars if the unfinished fabric inside the right leg outer pocket had been hemmed or stitched so that that unfinished fabric doesn't unravel every time one washes the pants. September 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarilynGrandLake Great pants and I love these pants. I would also love them without being convertible. Love the fit, pockets, fabric. Want them the same style and cut BUT also without being convertible. July 8, 2015

The waiting room was freezing cold. A handful of people were huddled in a corner like Eskimos round a fire, bundled up with heavy jackets and wool shawls. Another couple were hunched over in their chairs, asleep. All were silent, breathing, and barely existing.
A trembling mass of fabric was curled up on one of the seats. It was sniffling and a red nose tip poked out of one of the folds. Suddenly, the whole bundle shot up. The blushing nose tip was now accompanied by rosy cheeks and red rimmed eyes.
(Name) coughed into the sleeve of her oversized, tan army overcoat. The sound jerked the man a row before her awake and he glared at her before turning away. She sunk into the warmth of the coat. Her feet marched her through the row where her seat was, over and over. Every step was echoed by the soft squeak of her boots and her coughs.
"Will you please sit?" the man she'd awoken grumbled.
She mumbled an apology and reclaimed her seat. Bouncing her leg, her gaze flickered between the double doors of the ER and the barren nurses' desk. If she saw any sign of movement, she'd lock onto that spot. When she was assured that it wasn't anything important, (Name) would bite her bottom lip and look away.
The air in the waiting room was stale with sickness and bitter with worry. Every breath made her ever more nauseous. Burying her nose into the collar of the coat, (Name) inhaled its scent for comfort. It smelled of sweet men's cologne and pizza; it smelled of him. She felt her eyes sting and burrowed further into the overcoat.
"Miss? Miss (Last Name)?"
(Name)'s head snapped up. A nurse at the desk with light brown hair and bright, green eyes waved at her and she rushed over. Heart pounding and racking her bones, she leant onto the desk for support. Her legs were shaking dangerously. When she spared a fleeting glance at the nurse's name tag, she noticed her name was Elizabeta.
"He's not great," Elizabeta said before she could open her mouth, "but he'll be okay."
Her knees gave out as she sobbed in relief. Elizabeta helped her up and rubbed her back soothingly. (Name) felt her heart flutter. Everything would be fine; he'd be back on his feet in no time. She wiped her eyes and felt a smile tug gently at her lips.
"Follow me," Elizabeta ushered.
She guided her through more halls than (Name) could care to count. Her legs were wobbly again and she couldn't stop crying, but she was relieved. If anything, she was nearly walking on air. However, when they stopped in front of a door, reality dragged her back to Earth. Thankfully, her tears had stayed with the clouds, waiting for a chance to rain back down.
"If anything weird happens, press the pager button," Elizabeta explained. "And I do mean anything."
Swallowing heavily, (Name) nodded and pushed the door open. The sterile smell still lingered in the air, along with a hint of acrid cleaning chemicals. Everything was white: the ceiling, the walls, the linoleum floors, and the thin sheets that were draped over the young man on the bed. They made his tanned skin look paler than she thought possible and highlighted a few bruises on his face. He looked terribly fragile for a five foot seven, hot-tempered soldier.
"Lovino," (Name) whispered as she cradled the hand with the IV drip.
Images of a bare street frosted over with slick ice and slush flashed in her mind. She felt herself enter her memory and laugh. A light chuckle joined her giggles as she began to cross. An arm was loosely wrapped around her waist and warm breath was misting her neck and frozen ears. Suddenly, she heard a tire screech. The arm cradling her tightened and she was flung back to the sidewalk. Peridot green glittered sadly and; was that fear? -, before they were replaced by dark blue.
Bile rose up in her throat at the memory of a broken man lying motionless on the street and a screeching, midnight blue sports car speeding away. Lovino's hit and run had been hours ago. Now he lay black and blue in a hospital bed with a breathing mask on his face and blissfully unconscious.
(Name) brushed his sienna bangs away from his closed eyes carefully avoiding the curl and murmured, "Grazie
But it should've been me."
She kissed his forehead. It was comfortingly warm and she could've sworn she felt his hand twitch. Pulling back, she inspected him for any signs of awakening. His eyes remained closed, his body still as ever. With a heavy sigh, (Name) wiped her eyes and made to walk away, but couldn't. Lovino had her hand in a tight grip.
be stupid
(Name) recognized the deep baritone immediately and turned to face him. Those gorgeous, peridot green orbs remained shut, but his cheeks had regained a bit of their color. His nose was slightly scrunched and he shook his head slightly, dislocating the mask a bit. With a giggle, she slipped it off.
been through-a worse
before," he rasped. "You-a
on the other hand
can't-a get hurt
on Valentine's
"Oh, but you can?"
"If it-a
keeps you-a safe
She choked on air when he managed a smile. It was so miniscule; she nearly had to squint to see it. She felt a tear roll down her cheek and saw it land on his hand. If anything, his smile got slightly wider.
no-a crying
Save-a that
for a bit..."
(Name) sat back down on the edge of the bed and swallowed her tears. Lovino gave her hand a light squeeze. She looked up to see his eyes half lidded and an even bigger grin on his lips. He shyly tugged on her wrist and averted his eyes. (Name) glanced dryly at him before leaning over and giving him a soft butterfly kiss.
inside pocket," he whispered. "Take a look
at a Valentine's
slash-a early birthday present
Following his instructions, (Name) pulled out a small, platinum box from the pocket. Gulping, she felt her cheeks heat up. Heart pounding, she opened it, finding a golden ring with three tiny diamonds embedded in it, shaped like the heart he'd once said belonged to her.
"You-a won't
mind a
broken-a man for
for a soul mate
"No," she choked. "Oh good God, no!"
you-a won't
fight-a me for
a dual purpose present
will-a you?"
"Never again."
With a bashful smile and red cheeks, he murmured, "Bene
Help me
put it on?"
She put the ring in his hand and he slipped it on her left ring finger. Then, he shakily brought her hand to his lips and kissed her fingers, knuckles, and ring. For the third time today, (Name) felt the hot droplets escape her eyes.
"Told-a you
you'd-a have
to save-a them," he teased.
"Stupido," she retorted. "It took a hit and run to get your courage up?"
Shaking his head, he said, "No
It-a took
four-a years
of-a learning to-a love-a you
a split-a second decision
to confirm-a you were-a my one
e a silver ring
encrusted with-a tears
to-a seal the deal-a
(Name) felt a matching grin blossom on her face as warmth flooded her body. It started from the hand he'd kissed. Then it spread up her arm, up to her head, and down to her toes. The stale hospital air wasn't so nauseating or cold anymore, either. And as she lay down next to him, she realized she'd never felt warmer. Not even the sweet memory of their first kiss or their first 'I love you's could match up to this.
Curling up into his side, she murmured, "I love you."
An arm cradled her gently and gave her a tight, one armed embrace. A thumb rubbed soothing circles on her hip, lulling her to sleep. She yawned and heard the rumbling inside his chest as he chuckled. It was halted by a long yawn of his own.
"Ti amo troppo," she heard him mutter drowsily. "Felice San Valentino e compleanno, tesoro."

Iran's ambassador to Lebanon says his country's cultural attache` has died from wounds sustained in twin explosions that struck near the Iranian Embassy in Beirut, killing 23 people.
Ambassador Ghazanfar Roknabadi identified the diplomat as Sheikh Ibrahim Ansari. The ambassador says Ansari took his post in Lebanon a month ago and was overseeing all regional cultural activities.
The mid-morning blasts hit Beirut's neighborhood of Janah, a stronghold of the Shiite militant Hezbollah. Attacks have targeted Hezbollah strongholds in recent months in what many see as retaliation by Sunni extremists for Hezbollah's role in Syria's civil war.
Lebanese Health Minister Ali Hassan Khali says the explosions also wounded 146 people.

COAL COUNTY, OK -- A fire destroyed a Coal County home Saturday afternoon.
Firefighters say the home on Old Highway 3, about three miles west of Tupelo, caught fire around 1:15 p.m. Tupelo fire Chief Rick Ellis says at least one person was inside the home at the time and made it out safely. Ellis says a faulty wood stove caused the blaze.

Had that before and it is nice but if you don't buy the program will continue to constantly get the ads to.
