Beautiful work Max! I especially love the design around the title and the forest of course is great!
Hi everyone,
Here's my latest map, which is a first experiment with a new style, with some light painting touch. Though I'm thinking about expanding the map to make a larger one or mapping some surroundings area of the actual one, I've decided to post the current savage lands of oraven in a finished thread.
It was done in Photoshop and the full size map is 14"x19". WIP thread is here. Thanks to everyone for the support, comments are always keeping the motivation up
Comments are still welcome, I hope you'll like it.
Feel free to rep, rate or run away

Max you realize don't you that you are beginning to bloat my inspiration folder . The map itself is very impressive but the way that you have chosen to frame it really ties it altogether very nicely. Repped, liked, rated and all that jazz.
I don't think that i can rep you again (at least not yet), but have a "like". This is an awesome new style. I really really dig it. This map really invites me to set a game of DnD* in it.
Well done! Oh and as an aside...i really hope you'll do the Oraven worldmap someday (surprise, surprise ).
Looking forward to your next map, Max!
* where DnD stands for "your rpg of choice"
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
Amazing map Max! I know nothing about the world of Oraven, but with this map I want to play there!
"That sounds... incredibly complicated, but there's no doubt the result is fantastic." /Diamond
Excellent work! I have to agree with Arsheesh about the framing choice also. Your color choices really help set the theme of "Savage", beautiful map Max!
The color used is amazing. This style really summons the 'savage' feeling.
Thank you very much all you guys! Comments appreiatezd
@Arsheesh : Don't you know I'm just doing maps to fill your inspiration folder?
@Eilathen and Hobbehobbe : If you already want to play in the savage of lands, I'm already fully satisfied about my job on the map
@WEP and Bane : I'm glad to have achieved the"savage" render with the coloring job
I run out of stars to rep you, again. The only thing bugging me are the many pixel errors on the outer papertextures, they look a bit like and unclean selection/cut. Beside that all of the map is well crafted and amazed me. I even like the forest now, with the new colors, they start to be realy vivid, especially the southern one.
Those forests ... hell, they are cool!
And the coastlines. Nice!
Again, it's a great piece of work.
I haven't seen a map in english language of yours, yet.

*Shipping Surcharge (In ADDITION to your normal shipping charges)
Salvage Tubes are highly versatile in the number of ways in which they can be deployed. They can be used as pontoons for supporting docks and other floating structures and they are also excellent for pipe-laying and other underwater construction projects, but where Salvage Tubes really come into their own is when they are used in raising sunken boats.
They can be used vertically to bring the boat out of deep water. When the boat is suspended near the surface they can be slung under the boat with one end on each side to raise the boat high enough out of the water to pump out. In shallow water, two bags can be slung together, one on each side of the boat, like pontoons. They can also be used as rollers for moving beached boats back into the water.

COLUMBIA, Md. (WUSA9) -- Howard County police officials say that police in North Carolina have arrested a man accused of shooting his ex-girlfriend in her car in Columbia, Md.
According to police, 43-year-old Ryan Patrick Matthias of Charlotte, NC is behind held in the murder of 47-year-old Deborah Castellano.
Police say Castellano was found with multiple gunshot wounds in her car in the 9600 block of Basket Ring Road in Columbia on May 4 after they received a 911 calla bout a woman who appeared to be injured in a parked car. Castellano had recently moved a home on that street after moving from New York, say police.
Police report that detectives learned that Castellano had been harassed by her ex-boyfriend Ryan Matthias. They say both had been arrested in New York in March in a domestic violence incident, and that Castellano had ended the relationship and moved to Maryland. Police say Matthias harassed and stalked her, but that she had not reported the harassment to police in Howard County. Family members told police after the murder that they had been concerned for her safety, according to authorities.
Police say detectives found out Matthias had rented a car the day before the murder and then returned the car the day after the murder with more than 1,000 miles logged on it. Detectives found other information that also led them to identify Matthias as the suspect in her murder, say police.
Saturday, Matthias was taken into custody by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police in North Carolina. Police say he is being held until he is extradited to Maryland to face charges.

City of Carrollton Partnering with Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity
Carrollton, TX – The City of Carrollton's Environmental Services Community Development Department is proud to announce a new partnership with Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity. On Saturday, December 14, the City of Carrollton will work in conjunction with Dallas Habitat's A Brush with Kindness Program to provide home repair to 2418 Briarwood Lane, located in Rhoton Park Neighborhood.
Homeowner Lettie Gonzales, who lives at the residence with her two children, received a code violation as part of a 2013 code enforcement sweep of the N.O.T.I.C.E. (Neighborhood-Oriented Targeted Infrastructure and Code Enforcement) neighborhoods program, a program that represents a targeted infrastructure reinvestment and neighborhood integrity in an effort to sustain older neighborhoods in the City. After consulting with the City of Carrollton, she applied for the City's Minor Home Repair Program and qualified for $5,000 in exterior home repairs. Repairs are to include siding replacement, soffit replacement, and painting.
A Brush with Kindness is Dallas Area Habitat's home repair program that provides exterior repairs for existing homeowners who are low-income and reside in neighborhoods where Dallas Habitat is building new homes. The program provides a way for existing homeowners to participate in the transformation of their neighborhood.
"We thank the City of Carrollton for the special assistance program they provide for homeowners like Lettie Gonzales," said Bill Hall, CEO of Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity. "While Habitat is known for constructing homes for deserving low-income homeowners, we are also pleased to be able to help homeowners in our communities make the necessary repairs to remain safely in their existing homes for as long as possible. Carrollton's Minor Home Repair Program provided the financial resources for us to assist in doing just that through our repair program A Brush with Kindness."
In addition to City volunteers, St. Andrews Christian Church (3945 N Josey Lane) will act as the volunteer group for this project. The City of Carrollton is looking for businesses, church groups, and individuals who would like to help grow this momentum and partner with the City to help with painting and construction for more volunteer home repair projects. For more information, contact Tanya Ferencak, Sr. Community Development Specialist, at 972-466-5742.

How To Restore Cuda's Drivetrain - Take It Down.Not OutWritten by on October 1, 1999 Part II: Stripping Out The Drivetrain
Last month, we began our series on disassembly for restoration by stripping down the body and interior until we were left with the bare unit body-but with the entire drivetrain left in place. Why would anyone want to tear down a perfectly good Mopar? Probably only a crazed perfectionist would, but if your Mopar is less than perfectly good, some level of disassembly will be required to put things right.
If, as in the case of our trashed-out 'Cuda, you're starting with a total disaster, extensive disassembly will be a necessary part of the rehabilitation. The rebuilding plan on our 'Cuda begins with chemically stripping the entire body, giving us a base of clean, bare metal (what's left of it) to begin piecing our new-old Mopar around. Chemical stripping of the body means that the shell has to be stripped naked, so our 'Cuda will be picked to the bone. Even if your own project will never require this level of tear-down, many of the principles of organized disassembly described last month will still apply.
In last month's body portion of our tear-down, our main guideline for the disassembly was to dismantle the car in major sub-assemblies, keeping the relevant components as intact as possible, to await their turn at restoration. This month, in stripping out the mechanicals, this approach is even more relevant. Since we're looking at an extensive period of body work to rebuild what remains of this E-Body, the mechanical stuff will have to wait in the dugout for quite some time before we get to it. Keeping much of the mechanicals intact will give us that much less stuff to keep organized and take up less space to store. Less organizing and space are definite advantages, but the kicker is that dropping out the mechanicals relatively intact saves mucho time.
Our approach is a simple one-two punch: first dropping out the rear suspension and axle as a unit; and then moving forward and knocking out the engine, trans, K-member, steering, and most of the suspension in a single hit. Other than the fuel system and mopping up a few odd brake lines and other small items, the bulk of the go-hardware comes out in major chunks. To keep things mobile after we're done, we fired up the Lincoln arc welder and fashioned a trick moveable body dolly. The photos detail all of the fun stuff.
Fuelish Fascination
The fuel tank was the first item to come down in our mechanical disassembly, to clear the way for removing the rear suspension. There's really nothing tricky about stripping out the fuel system. It's all just common sense. Begin with making sure the tank is empty, both to make it easy to handle, and to avoid the dreaded Mopar flamb. An electric fuel pump (safely mounted, grounded, wired, and plumbed) and an appropriate gasoline storage container gets the nod over the lethal siphon-and-milk-jug technique. Work in a well ventilated area, away from any possible sources of ignition, even if you don't figure on spilling a drop of fuel. While you might expect to only disconnect the fuel hose and gauge sender wire, look for additional lines to the tank before wrenching the mounts. Most Mopars of this era had multi-line, emissions-related, vapor-liquid separator and recovery systems. Our 'Cuda had no less than five hose connections to the tank.
I wasn't there when the guys at Chrysler's Lynch Road assembly plant were hanging rear axle assemblies under Mopars going down the line, but it's a pretty good bet that they weren't spearing them between the leaf springs and the frame. More likely, the rear suspension, axle, and brakes were pre-assembled and the whole unit bolted in as the car rolled by. Once the ancillary connections are freed-up, pulling the entire assembly is a one shot deal, requiring only a floor jack to drag the whole mess out.
The Wheel Deal
One of the problems with full disassembly is that hulking unit body left lying around. What do you do, drop it on a stack of old tires? Got a forklift handy for moving it across the shop or onto the trailer to various shops? Keeping it mobile is one of the reasons most home rebuilders are reluctant to dismantle beyond the rolling chassis. The trick is to wheel-up that bulky body for the utmost in mobility. We designed a set of bolt-on brackets and wheels which made maneuvering the bare body a snap.
Probably the most satisfying part of the whole job was dropping the engine. What's that, you say, don't you mean pulling the engine? No, it's dropping. The factory pre-assembled the drivetrain to the K-member and bolted the works under the car in one hit. Reversing that procedure saves mega time pulling the engine, trans, suspension, and steering out in one piece from under the chassis. Here's how we get it done with just the basic shop tools.
The frames are sturdy 11/44-inch steel plate. The tube sections are 2-inch and 251/416-inch heavy wall chrome moly. At the top left is the rear wheel, a fixed caster with a socket section, and a set screw to lock it to the riser section (top center). The mounting bracket (top right) is made of a steel plate with studs matching the spring hanger holes in the body. The mounting bracket is finished with a tube section socket and a set screw to accept the riser.
At the bottom is the front wheel assembly, made as a swivel caster by angling the tube 45 degrees. The mounting bracket is made of 11/44-inch plate to bolt to the front bumper mount holes, and has a tube section welded on to accept the riser. Set screw nuts are welded to the socket sections to lock off the risers as required. The socket sections of the front and rear mounting brackets have a stop (made from a short length of the riser tubing) welded to the top inside the I.D. to prevent the possibility of the riser tube sliding through. The socket section of the front caster also has a stop welded inside, to give the riser a square surface to slide against as the caster swivels (see photo).

From the fuel tank, the vapor hoses run to the separator mounted in the trunk, or on some B-Bodies, to a small tank at the wheelhouse. The unit was unscrewed from the trunk floor and removed.The tank itself comes out next. Besides the vapor-separator lines, the fuel line, sender, and ground strap are disconnected. The filler neck is unscrewed, hosed down with WD-40 at the grommet where it enters the tank, and twisted to work it out. Dropping the tank is just a matter of two nuts at the mounting straps.First jack the rear up, and support the body with jackstands under the frame rails. Rear removal begins with the parking brake cables. Unhook them from the main cables by looping the ball ends out of the connectors and then pulling the clips that anchor them to the body (arrow).Roll a floorjack under the rear and jack it slightly to unload the suspension of the weight of the axle with the body still resting securely on the jackstands. Unbolt the rear shackles.The shocks are unbolted from the rear crossmember, holding the nut through the access hole in the trunk. Dig the vintage set of Hi-Jacker air shocks on this ride. Once unbolted at the top, swing the shocks down, clear of the crossmember.
With the back half unhooked, move up to the front and unbolt the front spring hanger. Hose down the nuts with WD-40.To keep the disassembled body mobile we designed and welded a set of brackets and wheels to mount to the 'Cudas' shell. In the rear, we made brackets which bolt on to the spring hanger mount, which in turn connect to a fixed caster. In the front, our mounting point is the bumper bolt holes in the front frame longitudinals. With some sleight-of-hand with chop saw and arc welder we ended up with.these custom brackets and casters. The wheels are 10-inch diameter pneumatic tires, which are a big advantage over solid caster wheels for rolling over uneven surfaces or onto a trailer.With the rear axle and suspension out, we bolted the fixed caster assembly to the leaf spring's front hanger mounts. The design of the caster allows the height of the car to be varied (within reason) by simply using a taller riser section. Set the wheels straight ahead, and lock-off the set screws. By loosening the set screws, the wheels can be turned and locked in any direction to crab the body into tight corners of the garage.Support the front of the car with jackstands under the longitudinals. Since they anchor to the body, the torsion bars have to come out first. Begin by winding out the torsion bar adjuster bolts to unload the T-bars.Sliding the torsion bars back and out with the lower control arms left in place requires some brute force, since they are usually firmly stuck in their sockets. Chrysler had a special tool (# C-3728, which is also being reproduced), but we made our own years ago with a sectioned piece of 1-inch pipe, some plate, steel bar, and U-bolts. Ugly, but it gets the job done.
Once the front drivetrain is removed, the front swivel casters can be bolted at the front bumper mounts. The socket at the caster (arrow) is lubed up with grease, and the bottom set screw is left loose to let it swivel.The clutch linkage anchors to the body and will have to come off. Automatic cars will need to have the shift linkage disconnected, and column shifts will need the shift bellcrank removed.Up top, disconnect any wiring, cables, fuel line, or any other items that are still attached to the engine or trans.Unbolt the top shock mount and the upper A-arms from the body. A jack under the suspension takes the load off the control arm so it can be pried up and out.Disconnect the speedo cable, support the trans with a floorjack, and unbolt the trans crossmember from the body.Slip a yoke in the back of the tranny to keep from oiling the driveway, and the jack can be lowered just enough to let the crossmember clear the body. The back half's ready to drop.
With the engine hoist tensioned up to carry the weight of the drivetrain, the four bolts holding the K-member in are buzzed out, freeing the whole assembly. Even well supported by the crane, keep clear from underneath, just in case.With the casters bolted in the rear at the spring hanger brackets, the bare body will be balanced so it can be muscled up and rolled back. Actually, the weight and balance makes for an easy one arm lift. The wimpy way out would be to have a couple of buddies handy, or just hoist the body up and roll the drivetrain clear.With the body clear, the front casters are bolted in place, and odds and ends like the bumpstops are unbolted.In the engine bay, the last of the wiring and the battery tray come out, and then all of the brake lines, and there's nothing left.The drivetrain/suspension is strapped down to the dolly, and a strap is run across hooking both brake rotors to keep them off the ground. The entire assembly is self contained and mobile.

Get ready cuz I'm betting with the gun law that was passed in Iowa a few years ago we will have our own shooting tragedies soon enough. IMO, there are way too many people buying guns that have never shot and killed ANYTHING and have no idea what they are getting into.
I watched a guy by a gun at Gander Mt in CR last year and he picked it up like it was a dead snake. I hope he never figures out how to load it cuz he will probably be the one ending up getting shot.
The fact that you can get a carry permit and NEVER have to fire a gun is crazy.
And don't assume I"m anti guns cuz I'm not (I own 10 of them).
So it's unclear, the son was in fact trying to rob this house?

That's the hard part. No one will probably know what he was doing.
I feel less sympathetic for the boy if you're robbing your Aunt, but still very sad for the father.

Sad story, but something doesn't add up here. If you turn around and see your dad pointing a gun at you, why would you charge at him with something instead of say "Dad, it's me, don't shoot." Doesn't make sense.

PARKERSBURG - Brooke's defensive tactics could keep Parkersburg at bay for only so long during a West Virginia Class AAA, Region One, Section One semifinal boys' soccer match Monday night at Stadium Field.
Four different players scored a goal as the Big Reds posted their eighth shutout of the season in defeating the Bruins, 4-0.
The scene for Wednesday's sectional final returns to Stadium Field where PHS will meet Wheeling Park, a 4-3 overtime winner against Parkersburg South, at 5:30 p.m.
Against Brooke, it appeared as if the rout was on as Brooke keeper Zachary Ciccolella was greeted immediately with three shot attempts in the first three minutes of the first half. Two resulted in goals.
Forty-nine seconds into the match, Matt Powney took possession at midfield and found Hunter Hill sprinting downfield along the sideline. Hill received the pass 25 yards from the goal, made the attack then let the shot go just inside the box. The ball glanced off the far post then trickled past the keeper.
Two minutes later, PHS midfielder Cameron Morris centered a pass to Garrett Kruger, who was stationed deep in the box and converted the goal.
"We started out flat, but we made some adjustments and defended well," Brooke coach Brian Cerullo said.
Brooke tightened up its forces for the remainder of the first half and the first 25 minutes of the second half. PHS consistently pushed possession deep into Bruin territory and created multiple scoring opportunities but Ciccolella was up to the task.
The converted forward made 16 saves for the match.
"We had a couple injuries early in the year and we shifted Zachary back to keeper, and he really helped us out all year," Cerullo said.
Careless ball handling on Brooke's part allowed PHS forward Nick Payne to score a goal from close range with 15:14 remaining in regulation. Kruger was credited with an assist.
Moments later with 12:32 showing on the clock, Big Red midfielder Tyler Parsons was the beneficiary of some impressive passing from Powney and Evan Rhodes and put the Big Reds in front, 4-0.

(Sports Network) - After reaching the .500 mark for the first time this
season, the Philadelphia Flyers look for another first on Tuesday evening as
they visit the rival New York Rangers.
Philadelphia has won five of its past seven games to move to 11-11-1 on the
season. It picked up a second straight victory on Saturday for the fourth time
this season, but has failed in each of its previous three attempts at winning
a third game in a row.
If the Flyers want to post their longest winning streak of the season in this
game, they'll need to snap a five-game slide at New York's Madison Square
Garden, where they haven't won in the regular season since Feb. 20, 2011.
Philadelphia dropped a 2-1 contest in New York on Jan. 29, five days after a
2-1 home win over the Rangers snapped an eight-game series losing streak.
The Flyers closed out a five-game homestand on Saturday with a 2-1 win over
the Ottawa Senators. Jakub Voracek and Wayne Simmonds both netted their team-
leading ninth goal of the season, while Ilya Bryzgalov notched 33 saves in his
200th NHL win.
In his second season with the Flyers following an inconsistent 2011-12
campaign, Bryzgalov is tied for the league lead with 11 wins and 21 starts.
"I think he has been playing well all season. He stole a couple for us already
this year and that's just another one," said Simmonds after the Senators game.
"I think he's got his confidence back. You can tell when a goalie's got his
confidence, nothing really fazes him. He's calm in the crease. He's observing
pucks and he's playing really well."
So have Simmonds and Voracek.
Simmonds has five goals and nine points in his last seven games, notching the
game-winning goal in back-to-back games and three of the past four. Voracek,
meanwhile, leads Philadelphia with 25 points and has 15 in his last eight
Philadelphia's recent run has it eighth overall in the Eastern Conference, one
ahead of the New York Rangers, who have their own red-hot forward in Rick
Nash has three goals and six assists in the past six games he has played in, a
span broken up by a four-game absence due to injury. New York went 0-3-1 in
those games, but has won both contests since Nash's return.
The forward had a goal and an assist in regulation and one of two shootout
goals in a 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday. Ryan Callahan followed
Nash's shootout tally with one of his own and Henrik Lundqvist stopped both
skaters he faced after making 28 saves through overtime.
Nash and Derek Stepan scored 43 seconds apart following a five-minute major
and game misconduct on Buffalo's Patrik Kaleta for hitting from behind. Kaleta
drove Brad Richards head-first into the boards while shorthanded and Richards
remained down for several minutes.
"It's probably one of the most dangerous hits I've seen. ... I'm glad we made
them pay. It's disgusting," Rangers head coach John Tortorella said. "It's a
lack of respect. Each team wants to beat the other team, but you need to
respect what's going on on the ice."
Kaleta was suspended five games for the incident by the league on Monday.
The good news for the Rangers was that Richards was able to return to the game
and though he did not practice on Monday to get treatment for soreness,
Tortorella expects his center to be fine.
That should have Richards on the ice for this finale of a four-game homestand,
though the Flyers won't have Harry Zolnierczyk after he was suspended for four
games by the league for a hit on Ottawa's Mike Lundin on Saturday.
Zolnierczyk was given a major for charging and game misconduct and Lundin
did not return to the game due to a concussion.

May 30, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has been admitted to a New York hospital after the discovery of a blood clot stemming from the concussion she sustained earlier this month.
Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines says her doctors discovered the clot during a follow-up exam Sunday. Reines says Clinton is being treated with anti-coagulants.
Clinton was admitted to New York-Presbyterian Hospital so doctors can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours.
Reines says doctors will continue to assess Clinton's condition, "including other issues associated with her concussion."

Trainer Tony Dutrow stood in the winner's circle opening day after the first stakes race of the 2012 Saratoga Race Course meet, accepting the trophy for the Grade 3 Schuylerville won by a promising 2-year-old filly named So Many Ways.
With summer fading, and just one day left before the seven-week Spa show comes to an end, Dutrow and So Many Ways returned for an encore Sunday, this time after securing an even more prestigious prize – the 121st running of the Grade 1, $300,000 Spinaway.
Stalking a rapid pace set by the dueling odds-on favorite Teen Pauline and 13-1 shot Corail, So Many Ways advanced when called upon by jockey Javier Castellano and went on to win by 2 ½ lengths.
Long shot Sweet Shirley Mae, 22-1, made a long drive under jockey Kent Desormeaux from the three-eighths pole to take second from Teen Pauline, who faded to third. Seasoned Warrior and Corail completed the field.
Baby J and Dreaming of Julia were scratched.
So Many Ways, a daughter of freshman sire Sightseeing, ran the seven furlongs in 1:23.74. As the 4-1 third choice, she paid $9.80 for a $2 win bet.
"This filly came to Saratoga an infant and just as the weeks went by you could see her turning, putting on weight, growing, maturing," said Dutrow, who won last year's Spinaway with Grace Hall. "I didn't know where we would finish today, but I was thinking we'd run better than we did in the Schuylerville."
Owned by Maggi Moss, So Many Ways may have entered the Spinaway as the most accomplished filly, with a stakes win already under her belt, but not necessarily the fastest. Teen Pauline had set a track record in her debut July 25, running five furlongs in 56.53 seconds.
In the Spinaway, Teen Pauline had to prove she could stretch her speed to seven furlongs, while So Many Ways had to prove that her professionalism matched her opponent's raw talent.
When the gate opened, Seasoned Warrior broke on top but quickly fell back as Teen Pauline cut through an opening quarter-mile in 22.29 seconds and a half in 45.13, all the while hounded by Corail.
At the five-sixteenths pole, So Many Ways, always within three lengths, reached Teen Pauline as Corail fell away and the two briefly dueled before the winner asserted herself and pulled away.
"I had a beautiful trip," Castellano said. "She's pretty quick out of the gate and she settled beautiful behind the two horses. Those two pace-makers, they helped to set up my race. But I think if it wasn't that way, no matter what, she was going to be in the bridle today, and she was going to be close to the pace and give me the kick the way she did."
Dutrow said he had no immediate plans for So Many Ways, who is undefeated in three starts and increased her earnings to $307,800, but he reveled in the moment.
"I'm not surprised, but I sure am happy," he said. "She came out of there with running on her mind. We've won [the Spinaway] two years in a row now, and I can't believe where I'm standing."

DeJesus steps up to plate for Guadalupe Center
Zack Greinke wasn't the only Royals player to have a big day today — outfielder David DeJesus made a connection with the Kansas City community, too.
DeJesus has made appearances at various community functions since his arrival in Kansas City in 2003. David and Royals Community Outreach Director Betty Kaegel have worked together in recent months to find a community cause for David to support on a regular basis. Guadalupe Centers, Inc., the longest continually operating organization serving Latinos in the United States found themselves in need of a spokesperson. They found a great one in number nine, who will help an organization founded in nineteen–nineteen celebrate its ninetieth anniversary!
Below left: David met with representatives of the Guadalupe Centers, Inc. Left to right – Cris Medina, Executive Director and CEO of GCI; Jacobo Prado, Mexico Consul; David DeJesus; Pedro Zamora, GCI Board President.
Below right: Royals staff members Toby Cook, Curt Nelson, Lora Grosshans, Megan Stock, Kim Burgess, Betty Kaegel, and Ben Aken were on hand to show their support for David.

Thanks for sharing the story. It's good when we hear about the players giving back to the community.
This was an amazing start to our 90th anniversary celebration! The Royals have done so much for our organization and we are very excited to have David DeJesus be a part of our team! We have many events coming up this year where David will be a part of, so stay tuned! http://www.guadalupecenters.org
What a great example David DeJesus sets for his teammates, for the Royals organization! His involvement in this celebration shows the power of collaboration between the community, its non-profit community, and its professional sports teams.
Thanks to David, and thanks to the Royals. April is coming!!

I enjoyed meeting outfielder David DeJesus. He was very impressive as a spokesperson for the Guadalupe Center. I would like to work with David in the future at
upcoming Guadalupe Center events. I look forward
to attending Royals baseball games for the next season!!

Good story. I'd like to see far more examples of our professional athletes taking the time to give back to our community for great charitable causes, like the Guadalupe Center.

"It's all built on trust, and we are so very close," U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson whispered to his wife, at the start of the 2008 financial crisis. "Morgan Stanley and Goldman are an inch away. If the other banks stop trusting them… if they pull back on inter-bank lending, it's over in a matter of hours. From there, it goes too fast to stop. A run on not just one bank, but on the whole system. Average people wondering 'is my money safe?' They start pulling their cash, and then lines outside the banks, smashed ATMs. A couple of weeks, there's no milk in the stores."
That's how actor William Hurt declaims it anyway. He plays Paulson in Too Big to Fail, which premiered on HBO earlier this week. It's one offering of a recent bull market in films about a dark chapter in our recent history where the stakes were almost as high as the Cuban missile crisis. Both episodes involved middle-aged male power-junkies gambling with our destinies, and both almost resulted in catastrophic explosions.
The eleven feature-length movies that have now been made give an excellent picture of how and why the 2008 crisis happened, and who was to blame. Because the stories are told by filmmakers skilled in the art of explaining complex issues in a clear and entertaining way, watching these films is a fine way of getting a grip on what exactly happened – and seeing the imminent dangers we still face.
First out of the blocks was Michael Moore's documentary Capitalism: A Love Story, released in October 2009. Comparing America to the late Roman Empire, the world's most commercially successful documentarian identified Ronald Reagan, and the pro-business lobbyists that pushed through financial deregulation, as the start of the rot. He documents the "casino mentality" that grew up on Wall Street, and led to the untrammeled development of "credit derivatives." Although claiming not to understand the term, Moore clearly explains how banks lured Americans into taking out attractive-looking mortgages, and then bundled those home loans as "mortgage-backed securities" which then became traded. Moore concludes that Wall Street has ensured that the system is so unintelligible so as to "get away with murder." He points his finger at US Congressmen who accepted favorable mortgages in exchange for not regulating the market. He calls the passage of the 2008 bailout of $700 billion proposed by Hank Paulson as a "financial coup d'état". Moore's denunciation of greed climaxes in a scene where he goes to Wall Street to carry out a citizen's arrest on the board of the insurance company AIG, and to demand that investment bank Goldman Sachs return $10bn in cash to the American people.
Although the film is now the ninth highest grossing documentary in history, Moore's leftist slant made little impression on independent or conservative viewers. His film was almost immediately followed by the more balanced, if equally damning, PBS Frontline, The Warning, which laid the blame at the feet of the Clinton Administration. It focused on Brooksley Born – a rare female character in the narrative – who was head of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission from 1996-99. Born had warned Clinton about the dangers of derivatives – foresight that might have stopped the 2008 crisis — but she was brutally silenced by then-Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.
Greenspan, who was Fed Chairman from 1987-2006, is singled out by seven of the eleven films as a leading cause of the crisis. It was Greenspan who assumed that real estate prices would always go up, and thus helped create the housing bubble. A fan of Ayn Rand and free-markets, Greenspan is the central villain in The Flaw, which was named after a remark he made while giving testimony to Congress in October 2008: "I found a flaw," he confessed. "I was shocked because I had been going for 40 years or more with very considerable evidence that it was working exceptionally well."
The Flaw, which comes out in UK cinemas on June 7th after a long search for distribution, is produced by Stephen Lambert, the Brit who was at the center of the 2007 "Queengate" controversy when Lambert's company RDF released a trailer for a TV show that seemed to show Queen Elizabeth II badmouthing photographer Annie Leibowitz. After being forced to resign, Lambert moved to Los Angeles, and set up Studio Lambert; this is their first feature.
The film does its best to explain a core factor in the crisis: "moral hazard." Economist Paul Krugman describes it as "any situation in which one person makes the decision about how much risk to take, while someone else bears the cost if things go badly." It really just means cheating at gambling. The Flaw bills itself as "a financial whodunit" and suggests that everyone who helped the American people to buy into the lie of everlasting prosperity – the banks; the regulators; Congress; Presidents Reagan, both Bushes, Clinton, and, to an extent, Obama – have blood on their hands.
The most critically successful of the documentaries about the crisis has been Inside Job, which won this year's Oscar for best documentary. Narrated by Matt Damon, the film features an authoritative range of interviewees, including brothel madams who serviced Wall Street execs; current Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke; then-President of the New York Federal Reserve, Timothy Geithner; Congressman Barney Frank, George Soros, and the ironically self-righteous Dominique Strauss-Kahn, then head of the IMF. The film's lucid analysis inspires an awe-struck rage at what director Charles Ferguson calls the "systemic corruption" in the financial sector.
After tracing a similar history of deregulation as the other films, Inside Job unravels the conflicts of interest in the financial world, ranging from academics who receive money as consultants, but do not disclose those payment in their writings; to credit rating agencies and regulators staffed by former employees of the very companies they are supposed to be independently overseeing.
The film is toughest on Goldman Sachs, the investment bank that has supplied the US government with so many of its financial leaders and thus earned itself the nickname 'Government Sachs'. The most damning portrait is of Hank Paulson, a former CEO of Goldman, whom President George W. Bush appointed Treasury Secretary in 2006. To comply with conflicts of interest rules, Paulson was forced to sell all his Goldman stock, worth around $500mn. To sweeten the pain, Paulson was excused capital gains tax on the sale of those assets. That effectively amounted to a staggering $200 million signing bonus. The bailout that Paulson then devised gave Goldman $10bn in direct aid, and another $12bn in indirect assistance, through the AIG bailout. To cap it all, Paulson appointed Edward Liddy, a former director at Goldman, as the new head of AIG.
Two films, both with the same name, identify the US Congress as the Voldemort of the story. Casino Jack, a narrative feature film, stars Kevin Spacey as Jack Abramoff, the financial super-lobbyist who allegedly bribed at least twenty members of Congress, including Republican majority whip Tom DeLay, a major advocate for financial deregulation. The documentary version, Casino Jack and the United States of Money, is directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, whose Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Book also did a superb job in unraveling intricate financial webs of deceit.
Both films suggest that Abramoff was not just one bad apple, but one small cog in a treacherously designed machine of unfettered greed, where anyone with any power had his snout in the trough.
Gibney returns to the theme of financial avarice in his film Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer, which came out in November 2010. While documenting the former New York Governor's fall from power after being caught with a prostitute in an FBI sting that Spitzer had himself devised, Gibney's real focus is on the forces ranged against him. We learn how it was Spitzer who, on taking office in 1999, took exception to the way investment bankers were behaving as Masters of the Universe, and declared war on them by devising ways to regulate them. Wall Street fought back. Hank Greenberg, CEO of AIG, allegedly hired a PR firm to smear Spitzer, and Republican political consultant Roger Stone, a self-declared "GOP hitman", was hired to bring Spitzer down. When Spitzer finally resigned, cheers erupted on trading floors. At the heart of the film is Gibney's candid, in-depth interview with Spitzer, who, while admitting to his own personal errors of judgment, incisively demonstrates how hard it is for any politician to regulate the financial system.
In the wake of these documentaries, A-list actors and directors stepped up to dramatize the crisis. Biggest of these has been Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, a sequel to the 1987 Oliver Stone film that won Michael Douglas an Oscar for his portrayal of Gordon Gecko. Stone and Douglas said they were persuaded to make a sequel after learning that 21st century Wall Street wannabes actually idolized Gecko.
The film starts with the release from prison of Gecko, who finds that "greed is not only still good, it's legal." Stone and Douglas reportedly based Gecko's new persona on two real-life Wall Street chief executives who had played big roles in the 2008 crisis: Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs and Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase.
A more subtle dramatization of the impact of the sub-prime lending debacle can be found in Margin Call, a star vehicle for Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons and Demi Moore. I went to see the film at the Sundance Film Festival, but, together with all the press, was locked out of the first screening after Harvey Weinstein packed the theater with his own people to try and keep its contents a secret. He eventually lost a bidding war to Lionsgate, and I saw the film at its world premiere on the last day of Sundance.
It's a boardroom thriller, set in a New York investment bank during one 36-hour period in 2008, right before Lehman brothers went down. After one lowly analyst realizes how perilously leveraged the firm is by mortgage-backed securities, the crisis rises up the company's chain of command, until its CEO, played with icy smoothness by Jeremy Irons, has to helicopter in to impose a terrible solution: the firm must liquidate its mortgage securities by the end of the next trading day. The central character, played superbly by Kevin Spacey, is then faced with an ethical and professional dilemma on how he will respond to the "moral hazard" of the situation. Will he loyally obey the order to sell off toxic shares to a friend at another firm? Will he dump the shares, even though he knows it's a strategy that will screw millions of home-owners?
The personal impact of the crisis is explored in even more emotional depth in The Company Men, directed by John Wells, creator of The West Wing. It's a riches-to-rags story of a white-collar executive (Ben Affleck) who is laid off from his high-salary job and forced to take a job as a construction worker with his blue-collar brother-in-law (Kevin Costner). The enemy here is vanity and greed – and it has many echoes with Tom Wolfe's benchmark critique of Wall Street, The Bonfire of the Vanities. The remedy, as Affleck discovers is a trio of American Values: "Faith, Courage and Enthusiasm".
The best-written, best-acted film so far is also the most recent, Too Big to Fail, a dramatization of New York Times reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin's book of the same name. The characters here are the real people behind the crisis. Director Curtis Hanson, best known for helming 8 Mile and LA Confidential, worked meticulously with actors to assimilate the physical attributes of their roles. The results are impressive, as these photos demonstrate:
For Hurt, preparation involved spending actual face time with the Treasury Secretary. According to Hanson, "Paulson invited him to Little St. Simons Island, off of Savannah, to spend a week fishing. Bill even came back armed with his gestures."
A more favorable image of Paulson emerges than from Inside Job. There's no suggestion that he's a Goldman Sachs crony, for example. He shows remarkable humility, when, in his bid to persuade the Congressional Democrats to support the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, he goes down on one knee to Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He also shows creditable candor: when asked by a staff-member why there was no regulation of the financial system, he replies, "No one wanted it. We were making too much money."
Another unlikely hero to appear is Britain's then-Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alastair Darling, who adamantly refused Paulson's plea to permit Barclays bank to take over the troubled Lehman Brothers. "We don't want to import your cancer," he said, before wishing Paulson a good night and hanging up.
The fool of the story is Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld – played with hapless anger by James Woods. Tragic pride leads him to over-value his firm and to refuse an offer from Warren Buffet to buy shares. "Screw Warren Buffet!" he declares, with staggering hubris. Had he accepted the offer, he might have saved Lehman from bankruptcy, and stopped the ensuing domino effect.
Fuld does do a very rare and unfashionable thing: he criticizes the actual everyday borrowers: "People act like we [bankers] are crack dealers," he laments. "But nobody put a gun against anyone's head and said, 'Hey, nimrod, buy a home you can't afford and, while you're at it, buy yourself a boat'." Almost all the other films are on the side of the everyday borrowers, suggesting that the predatory lenders were to blame.
Too Big to Fail's opening images are of President Reagan announcing his plans to deregulate the financial markets and, tied with Alan Greenspan, he comes out of the eleven films as Enemy Number One. Reagan's top partner in the deregulating campaign was, of course, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, herself the subject of a new bio-pic, The Iron Lady. Shooting has wrapped, and the film is now in post-production. Shots of Meryl Streep as Thatcher are mouth-watering:
A few pages of the script have been leaked. These reveal that the film begins with Thatcher in retirement, haunted by memories of her time in office, especially the tense period leading up to the Falkland/Malvinas War.
The film sparked a bidding war recently at this month's Cannes Film Festival, with various distributors — Summit, Roadside and Open Road — eventually trumped by the Weinstein Company, who purchased the film from producers Pathe for more than $7 million. Although the only confirmed release date is December 26, in New Zealand, there's a good chance you'll have Maggie on your screens by the end of the year.
Whether or not The Iron Lady adds Thatcher to the rogues' gallery of the 2008 financial crisis, there is one thing that all the other eleven films agree on: we are not yet out of the woods. Too Big to Fail suggests that the entire TARP deal that Paulson brokered was a charade. The banks did not lend more money to investors, as Paulson had instructed them to do. The markets continued to tumble. U.S. unemployment passed 10 percent. Millions of Americans lost their homes.
Inside Job, meanwhile, concludes that the merging of troubled banks with healthy banks did little to resolve the underlying problems. Instead, Paulson, Bernanke and Geithner created a banking oligopoly where ten banks now hold 77 percent of all US bank assets. The Obama administration has declared all ten banks to be "too big to fail" which means that the next time there's a crisis, the taxpayer may end up bailing them out again.
The probability of that crisis is increased because no real reform has taken place. The US government's own debt makes the system especially vulnerable. If the Chinese government should call in a chunk of its debts, for example, there really could be no bottom…
Equally disturbing is that, despite the corruption and crimes committed, no one has been held accountable. As Ferguson stated when accepting his Oscar, "three years after our horrific financial crisis caused by financial fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail — and that's wrong."
The Flaw is released in the UK on June 7th, at the Curzon Soho London. Inside Job is available on DVD, as is Capitalism: A Love Story. Casino Jack is available on DVD, as are Casino Jack The United States of Money and Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer and Frontline: The Warning and The Company Men and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps . Too Big to Fail is playing in the US and Canada on HBO on demand. No release date has been set for Margin Call.

Specifically designed with Volvik's dual core containing their patented Bismuth mixing, the golf bal optimizes distance by transferring the power from the more solid inner core to the softer outer layer instead of transferring inertia from a soft inner core to a solid outer layer, like much of the competition. The 80-compression and lightweight feeling of the Lady 350 enables women golfers to play more accurately with greater spin control. The ball features an improved flight-stabilizing 350-octahedron dimple patter with a very durable and resilient surlyn cover.

Hello, just wanted to let you know that at 10:00am est I took a break from gathering motes of air from windy clouds in Nagrand and when I resumed again at 11:30am est the icons that were being left behind were those of steam clouds instead of the windy cloud icon it had been leaving on the map. Not a real big deal but it makes for an uneven look and I don't want to clear all the windy cloud icons I have on the map and start anew. Thanks.

I am in Zangarmarsh extracting motes of water from swamp gas clouds and when I checked my world map I found that the addon is not leaving an icon where I extracted the mote at. I have the latest version installed. I haven't been in this zone for a while and so far it is the only zone that I know doing this. Thanks.

I have tried everything to import the data and have been unsuccessful. Gathermate2 works in game just fine. But when I bring up Import, there's nothing to import. I've tried putting the DB files in WTF>Account>Account Name>Realm>CHAR>Saved Variables and I still cannot see the DB's in game. I've tried putting them in JUST WTF>Account>Account Name>Saved Variables and this doesn't work either. So could someone PLEASE tell me where I can find the proper instructions and where these files have to go? 2 days now trying to figure this out. Gathermate2 is working fine at logging the stuff I find, but hell....why would I want to waste my time with this?

It's just leaving steam cloud icons behind in places where it works now. It quit working properly when gather hud was updated yesterday.
mysticalos Jan 16, 2011 at 18:10 UTC - 0 likes
that seemed to help a little. it cut down a few hundred nodes of useless double data. I'm guessing gathermaet now just ignores rich nodes on top of exact coords of a normal node? or maybe just overwrites the normal one with rich one? either way only tracks ONE ping instead of 2 or 3 for a single ore node?
i still wanna think deepholm is special though in that the ores are even randomly possible to be obsidian or elementium, cause there are TONS of nodes that are still directly on top of eachother of completely different types
mysticalos Jan 09, 2011 at 00:29 UTC - 0 likes
in regards to mining, all elementium nodes are also rich elementium and pyrite nods. a simple fix would be to just track all 3 as one node and cleanup 2/3rds of uldum and deepholm and twilight highlands (mostly deepholm) where gathermate is quite simply sucking cpu and memory mapping everything times 3. not sure how hard it'd be to code parser to just treat 3 types has a hybrid random spawn node, you'd also have to stil localize all 3 types when hitting them to be linked to a single pin type in gathermate as well, but i think efficiency wise it will help a lot. you really need to check out deepholm to see what i mean.

I'm using
Release 7.1.3_GA_3346.UBUNTU10_64 UBUNTU10_64 NETWORK edition, Patch 7.1.3_P1.
of Zimbra.
Following the manual I deployed the zimlet and everthing works in zimbra.
Configuration (server and username checked login works), dialog comes up when I drag a mail onto it.
But the spaces of alfresco 4.0.c look like only the standard spaces none of the already created ones are listed.
Saving in the standard spaces brings back a success. But nothing gets saved in alfrasco.
Even when searching as admin with access to all the spaces shows any result.
Is there a log file to dig deeper into the problem or any hints.
Kind regards,

What are our chances for this game? I obviously expect to win and I think we match up with them pretty well, but my confidence is shaken after last weekend. Does Brackins regain his early form? Does Hamilton play Ogreseder well? Can Diante slow down Agelebe? Does Dendy play?
Take out this past weekend's frustrations on UNI. Blow them out- And it is a great possibility that this will happen.....and The Brack goes nuts for about 30pts.
I really saw two glaring negatives against Northwestern. One, Brackins could not get anything to fall. Everything was a bad bounce this way or that.
Second, Vander Beeken was obviously winded in the last five minutes of the game and against a quick cutting team like Northwestern it hurt us tremendously. That pass to the center and hand off the PG for the easy hoop was the straw that broke the camel's back. Vander Beeken didn't even move to try and fould the guy, he just let him go by.
Both of those issues are correctable. Especially with Vander Beeken and how deep our bench could be.
Not that we won't have issues with UNI but I don't see that game shaping up anything like Northwestern.

why start this with "what are our chances"? I think it's more like what would have to happen for us not to win this game? ISU is the better, more athletic team. we should win from anywhere between 7-12 points. but we cannot only make 1 FG over the course of 10 minutes in the second half. If we are consistent form the FT line, shoot our average from beyond the arc, and get brackins the ball in the paint, you'll be hearing a lot of CYCLONE POWER coming from the student section.
My thought is we should have a good chance to win out at home the rest of the non confrence schedule. This is a game I think we will win. We should be rested and better prepared to play this game. We need to run their legs off and finish at the rim!
The Fizer/Tinsley team lost at Drake - before Drake was any sort of "good". Just saying...
Not calling for an Elite 8 run. But you just can't put too much stock in an early season tournament on what is pretty close to an opponent's home court.
(Yes - I'm a firm believer in the "good loss" idea. Particularly in basketball.)
We would have beaten NW at home. Assuming UNI and NW are similar...there you go.
I think UNI is better than NW, how much, I don't know.

Wow, I think you are really reaching here. Who has UNI beat that compares to NW beating Notre Dame and ISU? I think we beat UNI by 10-15. Personally I hope we beat the holy hell out of UNI if nothing else to get our confidence back before heading out to Cali.
I hope we absolutely crush them, I get very tired of the UNI fans I work with.
They beat BC, which is a good win. They also returned everybody from a NCAA tournament team so we know they have the talent to win games. NW lost two starters off an NIT team and will likely finish in the bottom 3 of the Big 10.
We better beat them comfortably at home.
Kansas wears Adidas.
This game will be close and will be decided in the final minutes. Anybody predicting a blowout either way is way off base, IMO...
And yes, Boston College is better than Northwestern. At the same time, the DePaul loss leaves me scratching my head...

I heard from a pretty reliable source that ISU is going to win by 9-14 points.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
UNI has no answer for Brackins and Gilstrap. The game will be competitive and close most of the way through, but ISU fans will NOT be sweating in the final couple minutes. We win in the 7-12 point range.

It will be close. This is a huge game for UNI. Anyone expecting a blowout is going to be in full meltdown mode come Wednesday night.

Here's some exciting news: After the overwhelming success of the NetJets Showdown featuring Roger Federer + Pete Sampras, the producers of the exhibition have signed up Venus + Serena Williams, Jelena Jankovic, and Ana Ivanovic for the inaugural BNP Paribas Showdown for the Billie-Jean King Cup.
The exo will take place on March 2, 2009 at Madison Square Garden and "will feature a unique format, with two semi-finals preceding a final on the same night. The semi-final matches will incorporate 'no-ad' scoring and will be played over one set; the final will be a best-of-three set match with traditional scoring, although a tiebreak will replace the deciding set. The night, which will benefit the Dream Vaccines Foundation charity, will also feature a special tribute to women's sports."
Great news - this should be an exciting exo. I'll most definitely be attending this one, live blogging of course!

That post was a slightly incorrect... The third set in the finals will not be replaced by a tiebreak. It will be a full third set, so fans will certainly get there fill that night! Tickets are on presale right now and going fast.ReplyDelete

It's that time of year again, when fans latch their wagon onto certain players who they think will shine at the next level. I've often suggested to others to post their picks, many will brush off these suggestions but will be the first to tell you how easy the draft is. It will be interesting to see who accepts this challenge.
There's a large degree of luck and junk science involved in my picks, a lot of it is gut instinct. The year before last I had Nate Solder as the top rated player at the highest position of need for the Pats on offense and I missed on every player after that.
Last season I pegged Defensive Tackle as the biggest need position on either side of the ball and just like the season before was stonewalled for the 2nd year in a row, though I did hit on Don't'a Hightower, Jake Bequette and Alfonzo Dennard.
Just like last few years I post the biggest position of need first so in this case I'll be starting on defense, specifically D tackle once again. This should be the final touch to this rebuilt defense we've all been watching take shape, of course it's just as likely BB will go offense (WR?) just to shock us.
Also like always the top rated positions on my board won't necessarily look like Kiper's or McShay's but I can guarantee you I will stick my neck out to defend my picks instead of agreeing that everybody is good and bad at the same time like they do.
I also pick players based on the Patriot's systems (3/4 defense) and primarily take guys who worked out at the combine or pro day, if they didn't work out anywhere you may not see them here, though after the Chandler Jones pick last year I've taken the time to do some more college Pro Day research. I also break my WR's into groupings, traditional strong safety and free safety etc... you don't have to agree but it's all in fun.
This is my depth chart with the top being best, bottom being leftovers that might be finds late in the draft. This will be a fluid list in the days leading up to the draft as new information becomes available but I lock it in before the draft begins. I don't take any of this very seriously so feel free to shred my list.

I know many players I have going late are being projected to go earlier (Kawann Short, Shariff Floyd, Akeem Spence), they may very well, but likely to a 4/3 team. I also put a premium on production, school, size and overall mass.
Jessie Williams reminds me of Poe last year with great workouts but not much production, players like him or TJ Barnes might be project players. Montori Hughes is a thug but talented. There were smaller school players that really stood out , particularly local New Hampshire guy Jared Smith who had amazing measurables, as well as Josh Boyd, Brandon and Nicolas Williams.
I'll follow up with the rest once my fingers stop cramping...
