Food options are limited in Tola. There are no grocery stores, so you should stock up with food in Managua or Rivas. However, there are several restaurants worth checking out. In between Hacienda Iguana and Rancho Santana is a good local place called "Isabella". Food includes chicken, steak and fish dishes cooked local style with sides of veggies, rice and beans. Between Rancho Santana and Popoyo is a small town called Limon. Limon is home to one of the best area restaurants - "Yolanda's". Yolanda's is owned by one of the nicest local families in Limon and features large portions of fresh local fare (chicken/fish/steak/rice/beans/veggies) at budget prices. Other places worth checking out are "Red Frog Pizza" and "El Toro" in Popoyo.

Kimball NHS Strikes Again!
Kimball National Honor Society (NHS) recently returned to the Kimball Public Library for some serious spring cleaning.
The NHS first cleaned the library in 2011-12 school year, and they have since adopted it as an annual service project. Students arrived on a Friday morning during their spring break to wipe down every shelf in the library. The process included removing the materials, washing and drying the shelves then returning the materials in the correct order. No flat surface was untouched; even the floors were done. The thirteen students put in 27 volunteer hours to complete the work before noon. Many hands made for light work. Thank you Kimball NHS!

When I see Marines, I think of them as rough and tough, the kind of guys you find in banquet halls in the Middle Ages, chewing on whole legs of mutton and tossing the leftover bones to packs of marauding dogs. But the other day I passed two young Leathernecks who were discussing yogurt, that bland white stuff we flavor with other things to pretend it�s edible.
One Marine told his friend he had never tried it before watching the television series Burn Notice and, once he did, he liked it. Burn Notice, for those who don�t know, is a show on USA Network about a guy who, in addition to being able to escape almost anybody or anything, eats a lot of yogurt.
I�ve tried for years to like yogurt, starting when it first came out in those cute little individual cups with tons of fruit on the bottom. I originally bought it because it was supposedly good for me, but the taste of the yogurt kind of made me not care how long I would live if it meant I had to eat that stuff every day. Over the years, I�ve tried every mutation the yogurt manufacturers have devised and I still hate it. It�s like putting lipstick on a pig. You can call it dessert and it still tastes like yogurt, so I let it sit in my refrigerator until it�s outdated and then I throw it out. I�ve wasted so much money trying to like yogurt that I could have bought myself a Harley, a trip to Europe and a nose job with the money I wasted.
So, when Greek yogurt came out and some of my friends were rhapsodizing about how wonderful it is, I thought maybe that was my yogurt-flavored ticket to good health. I should have known better. These are the same people who eat arugula on purpose and grill their squash instead of cooking it in bacon grease like normal people. So I bought some and tried it. The best thing I can say about it is the fruit was pretty good, but the yogurt itself is like consuming big tubs of sour cream.
I like sour cream, especially on potatoes or nachos. I don�t like big globs of it in my mouth, though, even if it is disguised with runny raspberry puree, because like the pig smeared with Revlon�s lip stain, it�s impossible to mask that (disgusting) flavor.
I know a lot of people will disagree with me. There are kabillions of people who buy yogurt because I see them doing it when I am at the grocery store. They probably even eat the stuff before it expires. And when my kids were little they liked the yogurt that comes in plastic tubes, like frozen Popsicles. But the only way I will eat yogurt is if you freeze it and cover it with nuts and chocolate syrup. Then it tastes good, even if the nutritional value places it about five paces behind a jumbo, movie-sized box of Junior Mints.
Page 2 of 2 - So, if I�m going to eat yogurt, then let it be frozen because, the way I look at it, my triglycerides are nobody�s business but my own.
Carole Moore welcomes email, but not yogurt, at email@example.com.

Michael Jackson's fans will be taking part in a series of tributes to mark the fifth anniversary of his death.
In Washington D.C. fans are invited to dress up as Jackson for a celebration of his music and videos. That event is set for Wednesday — the anniversary date.
A helicopter company in California is offering private tours over Neverland Ranch — at $175 a pop.
Fans will gather at the Jackson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday night — to sing, light candles and display flags from around the world.
And in the Netherlands, fans will gather on a beach and light lanterns in Jackson's memory.
Even five years after his death, Jackson's career remains hot as ever with the release of a new album, "Xscape." He "appeared" at this year's Billboard Music Awards and has posthumously made history, scoring his 29th top 10 hit.

Quantum mechanics is usually associated with weird and counterintuitive phenomena we can't observe in real life. But it turns out that quantum processes can occur in living organisms, too, and with very concrete consequences. Some species of birds, for example, use quantum mechanics to navigate. Last year we talked to physicists Simon Benjamin and Erik Gauger, and found out that studying these little creatures' quantum compass may help us achieve the holy grail of computer science: building a quantum computer.

Transforming Your Cables: Adapters
usb cable kit. It has Apple, Micro and Mini USB, so you'll be able to charge just about any device you can think of. Sorry, iPhone 5 users. You still need to stick with your own charger for now. You can pair the cable kit with this awesome mini surge protector with USB port charging. Since the usb cable kit is pretty short, I also take along a 6 ft. USB extension cable to give myself a little space. With these, I can charge just about anything as long as I have access to an outlet. When it comes to data transfer, everything I own uses some type of USB connection. So I can usually get by with just using a second USB cable kit, but if you use more devices than I do, picking one of these up might not be a bad idea. The next area is where things get complicated. Sound and video adapters are sometimes a pain in the butt, and these adapters can get pretty expensive if you don't know what to look for. Luckily I've got a box full of experience-I mean adapters, and I can get you stocked for almost A/V conversion for cheap. First we'll start with video. Biggest conversion cable I use to connect my laptop to my television. It might not be something that you NEED, but I don't have Netflix apps on my TV, and I'm not going to buy a Playstation or Xbox when I could spend less than $10 on a cable. My television uses HDMI, and for those of you buying Monster Cables for your home entertainment system STOP! You're blowing a lot of money on cables that aren't giving you a noticeably better picture or sound. Just use these. It's ten feet for $4! I have an older Macbook so my computer uses display port. Which means I have to buy one of these. Still I'm connectable for under $10. If you have a VGA or DVI output on your computer, feel free to buy one of these already adapted cables outright or this one for VGA. I know they're really cheap, and that might lead you to believe they're not good, but I haven't had any problems with mine for quite some time. I use mine to connect my hdmi monitor to my dvi graphics card on my desktop. 2 years later, and I've got no reason to believe it's of sub-par quality. Even if it dies on me right now, I bought it 2 years ago for less than $2. I'll just buy another and go 2 years at a time. Now it is possible that you're working with technologies that were built in way different times. Some of you may feel you need to connect a laptop with hdmi to a television with composite inputs. I've gotta be honest with you, it's just not a good idea. The picture quality is going to be terrible, and finding an adapter is pretty hard. The best you could do would be to get one of these video adapter boxes, but they're usually expensive and full of connections you don't need. Not to mention they take up way more space. Now that we've taken care of video cables, it's time to move onto audio. Yes, HDMI does carry audio signals, no, we're not going to talk about rigging something like that up because nearly any device with HDMI will also have a separate audio input/output. Honestly, I only have three different audio adapters, and this is only because my audio needs are fairly limited, but I have a 1/4″ to 3.5mm adapter, the opposite adapter, and a 3.5mm to stereo rca adapter. If you have any other audio adapter questions, post them in the comments, and I'll look into it. The truth is I use a receiver for my home entertainment system which makes things super simple, and my computer stereo isn't complex at all. We hope this has helped some of you make sense of all the port clutter you may be suffering. Not to mention shed some light on how badly cable companies are ripping its customers off. Most of the cables and adapters I mentioned are under $5, and the most expensive ones are under $20. Another option with newer technology is streaming wirelessly, which would eliminate cables and adapters all together. A lot of my stuff is networked this way, but if I would have started out with this info, I wouldn't have much of a blog to write, now would I?So by now it may be inevitable. You've got dozens of different devices by now, and they all have different connections. So how do you get all of them to connect to each other? You're going to need cables and adapters. We've put together a few adapters that you should pretty much have around all the time. First we're going to start with mobile devices because who hasn't been in a situation where they need a charge, but maybe don't have the right plug? I try to take these particular adapters with me whenever I'm away from home or the office for a full day without access to my car charger. You can't go wrong with this

Welcome to the guild - i'm glad you delurked! First off, jumping right in with a map in your first post is worth a smidgen of rep, all by itself. Then the map has promise. The land outline is pleasing, and you've got some nice little wave lines rimming it. The feature placement is a little haphazard, but not totally implausible. What may be subconsciously griping you is that you have three fights and some madness going on.
First, the colors and textures are a mix of sorta-photorealistic and brightly symbolic. Neither's bad, but the mix is puzzling; the texture and tatters of the paper say it's handmade and hard-used, yet the pigments are as bright as a mapper could first put down. Then your labeling is in tension: crisply typeset uberlegible city names vs. an artsy tough-to-discern display font for the states. Then (again with the paradoxes) the labels have two different digital effects applied: pretty, but not belonging on tattered old paper. When you pick an effect or a symbol or a texture, if you're shooting for an impression of in- character cartographer-was-here, think about how he would have produced the effect... and would he have. Then the third related clash is that the textures imply orbital photo data, next to sketchy linework, next to bold inked-perfect lines... Which vastly different method did this oldnew ancientmodern highlowtech dude use? Samplers and patchwork are nice for embroidery, not so much for maps. And it isn't that any of those characteristics are irredeemably badly executed, they just struggle against one another.
Lastly is the madness. Water on your world does some reeeeeally weird stuff. Take a thorough ramble through Redrobes' most excellent tutorial on Getting Your Rivers In The Right Place - it is stickied near the top of the Tutorial/ How-to forum. Maybe your subconscious is taking you to task for conduct unbecoming to a watercourse :-). I'm not against the bare-parchment as water look; it can be really effective, particularly if you want to deemphasize the sea. But your mapper obviously had access to blue pigment; witness all the painstaking hand-applied (?!) washes around the city labels. Were I him, I'd have put at least a bit of blue offshore to set off the land. In fact I kind of did, once ... see my Marglyn in my Aurora-1 gallery.
All that and not a word about brushes -- sorry, I know nooothiiiing of brushes' use! Other folks can better advise you there. Really - I do like a lot of the aspects - maybe you just have two or three different styles of map all mixed together.

Smith Adds Harasyn to Coaching Staff
Smith Adds Harasyn to Coaching Staff
AMES, Iowa – Eric Harasyn has been named the director of operations for Iowa State track and field and cross country, Cyclone head coach Martin Smith announced, Wednesday.
Harasyn will take on responsibilities such as scheduling, team travel logistics, host event management and managing communication between the track and field staff and other athletics offices.
Harasyn is no stranger to Smith's coaching scheme. This past year, the Sierra Vista, Ariz., native worked as a graduate assistant in the Oklahoma track and field program. Harasyn also ran under Smith from 2010-12, earning All-Big 12 and All-America honors as a Sooner student-athlete. Harasyn was also a two-time NJCAA All-American.
"Having run under Coach Smith, we developed a very good relationship," Harasyn said. "We gel very well together. I love the atmosphere here. The facilities are top notch. I love the small-town feel and the people [of Ames] are great."
Smith is happy to have Harasyn on the staff.
"Eric ran for me while I was at Oklahoma and was a very accomplished middle-distance athlete," Smith said. "He was an individual Big 12 champion and an NCAA All-American and served last year as a graduate assistant for me in an administrative role. We're very familiar with one another and how we like to do things, so it was a natural fit."

Game Description: Rock the Rhythm, Lead, and Bass Guitar tracks in the follow-up sequel to the Best Music Game of the year of 2005. Form your guitar duo and shred riffs cooperatively or go head to head in all new multiplayer modes. With over 55 tracks to rock out to, you'll go from Guitar Hero to Guitar god in one press of a fret button. Choose from multiple rock characters and jam at concert venues that grow in size as your rock career progresses! You'll start your rock career playing small clubs and bars, but if you play well you'll work your way up to stadiums and arenas. Strap on your Guitar Hero SG Controller, plug it in, and CRANK IT UP! The Guitar Hero SG Controller feels just like a real guitar, making it the ultimate way to jam on your PlayStation®2. With the Guitar Hero SG Controller, you turn into a rock star every time you play Guitar Hero!
For a long time I resisted playing the original Guitar Hero. I had read the rave reviews. I had heard the buzz from friends. But I dismissed it out of hand, figuring that it was somehow beneath me. Being an accomplished guitarist, why would I want to pay 80 dollars to play songs on a fake guitar that I can already play in real life? So when Guitar Hero II came out, I hardly gave it a thought. But after a considerable amount of urging from my older brother, I finally decided to give it a shot. What have I learned? 1) I should listen to my brother more often; 2) Guitar Hero II is an absolute blast, perhaps even more so for those who can play the guitar; and 3) This is the best and most broadly appealing multiplayer videogame I have ever owned, a fact amply demonstrated by the parade of new visitors I have had.
The game works as follows. Players wield a two-thirds-size guitar controller sporting five colored buttons on the neck, a strum bar, and a whammy bar. Players choose a song (e.g., Heart's Crazy on You) at one of four difficulty levels, watch notes scroll down the screen and play them when they reach the bottom by pressing the corresponding button and hitting the strum bar. Successfully hitting sequences of star-shaped notes fills a "star power" meter, which when activated—done by raising the guitar vertically in true rock star fashion—temporarily doubles point values while drawing thunderous applause from the crowd. Rounding out the ensemble is a whammy bar that lets players freely bend the pitch on long notes and chords, whether for individual artistic flair or to gain "star power" when used on star-shaped notes.
The net effect of Guitar Hero II's gameplay combined with its unique controller is the utterly kick-butt feeling of performing live rock music in front of a crowd of screaming fans. During my first gaming session, which lasted five hours, I was jumping around and gesticulating like a deranged rock star in no time, and I would have played even longer if my arm muscles hadn't cramped up. The control scheme comes together beautifully to create a feeling of pure exhilaration that is unlike anything I have experienced in a game save for the original Guitar Hero.
The single-player mode is organized around a musical tour through eight cities, with five songs per city. The fifth song in each set is revealed only after giving in to the audience's cry for an encore. With some of the best songs being saved for the end of each set, the encore setup pays off incredibly well. More than once I found myself beating my fists on the ground and loudly exclaiming my gleeful disbelief upon getting to play a particularly awesome and unexpected song for an encore. The single-player mode works its magic best if the player hasn't seen the full song list beforehand, so I would recommend that declared rock 'n roll fans keep themselves in the dark initially.
The 40 songs that comprise the main game cover a range of classic and modern rock music, from Van Halen to Guns 'n Roses to Rage Against the Machine. In addition, there are 17 bonus tracks from a variety of lesser-known bands, some of which are surprisingly fun and interesting. The music in Guitar Hero II is a bit heavier and more difficult than the original overall, but the increased complexity is partly offset by a much more forgiving system for hammer-ons and pull-offs that makes it much easier to execute fast passages.
Where Guitar Hero II really shines is in its three multiplayer modes (face-off, pro face-off, and cooperative) and, having recently played through Guitar Hero, this is easily the biggest area of improvement over the original. In face-off mode, players trade note sequences and occasionally play in unison. Unlike the original, however, Guitar Hero II actually lets players pick their own difficultly level independently of one another, making it much more fun for people at different skill levels to play together. Pro-face off mode lets players compete note for note on the same difficulty, at last providing a level playing field on which to settle disputes with friends over who is better on a given song. But my favorite by far is the new cooperative mode in which each song is split into two parts—guitar/bass or guitar/rhythm. Contrary to my expectations, the bass and rhythm parts were often just as satisfying to play in their own right as the main guitar part, so players shouldn't worry too much about not getting to "take lead."
By far the biggest weakness, however, is the static song list. I personally loved the music, but even the best songs get old after a while. Given the game's high cost, it would be nice if there were some way to customize the music more to one's own taste or to purchase songs à la carte for a minimal extra cost. The forthcoming Xbox 360 version will have downloadable content, presumably in the form of additional songs. Ideally, Harmonix will give the Guitar Hero treatment to a wide variety of songs and make them available for individual purchase and download. Of course, this is not feasible for the hard drive-lacking PS2, but it would be a fantastic direction for the series to take.
Guitar Hero II is one of those rare games that can engage players who would not normally be disposed towards playing videogames. I recently competed in a Guitar Hero tournament—which I won, incidentally—at a local bar and was amazed by how many females and non-gamer-looking types showed up to compete. Any game that can bring such a diversity of people together is doing something right. How long the fun lasts will partly depend on how players handle hearing the same songs over and over again, and on keeping friends and family involved in the multiplayer. For me, the ultimate success of Guitar Hero II's formula lies in the pick-up-and-play accessibility of its controller, the strong selection of catchy songs, and the game's uncanny ability to make players feel like they're actually rocking out on stage.
According to ESRB, this game contains: Lyrics
Parents don't have much to be concerned about. None of the songs contain any explicit lyrics, and none of the visual content is inappropriate for teenagers.
Fans of the original Guitar Hero will certainly enjoy the sequel, although the song list is perhaps not as broadly appealing.
HDTV owners will appreciate the addition of widescreen and progressive scan modes.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers could play the game in principle by following the notes that appear on screen, but since the fun comes from hearing what is being played, I wouldn't recommend it.

Learn about the history of Circle Pines and Lexington, as well as the eastern area of Blaine and parts of Centerville, at this one hour program. A slide show of photographs from the past will take guests on a visual tour through the area. Bring your stories from growing up in Circle Pines. This is backyard history at its best!
"History surrounds us," said Library Board Vice President Melanie Keister, "Learn more about the history of the place where you live."

Secretary of State Colin Powell accused Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein on Wednesday of deliberately trying to divide the U.N. Security Council and "split us into arguing factions." Powell declared that the effort must fail as he prepared to cajole the council anew to back force to disarm Iraq.
Powell, who will travel to the United Nations Thursday, said that Saddam had thrown away his "one last chance" to avoid the "serious consequences" the world body had threatened last November for Iraqi failure to disarm.
Powell spoke just hours after the foreign ministers of France, Germany and Russia joined forces in vowing to block a U.S.-backed resolution finding Iraq in violation of its obligations and authorizing use of force to disarm Saddam.
The foreign ministers of France, Germany and Russia said Wednesday they will "not allow" passage of an American-backed U.N. resolution to authorize war against Iraq, deepening the trans-Atlantic split between Washington and two of its closest allies.
The three ministers, whose countries have led opposition to war on Iraq, held an emergency meeting in Paris. Reacting to their comments, American officials expressed confidence that Russia and France, in the end, will not veto the resolution, which could open the door for military action.

We have had a lingering problem since 4.5.1. I tried resolving this through Zimbra support 2 or 3 months ago with no resolution so I would like to throw this at the community.
Scenario with Zimbra connector 4.5.1 through 4.5.6:
1. Outlook 2003(latest updates applied) is open.
2. Adobe Reader(ver. 6,7,8) or Adobe 6.0 standard is open.
3. Send adobe PDF using the adobe send option, through outlook.
4. The email sends just fine.
5. Switch back to outlook and select a mail folder.
6. The folder view pane is grey and Outlook cannot display the folder information. I.e., inbox, etc.
7. Restart outlook and everything is fine again.
This also happens with ACT when sending mail from ACT through Outlook.
Uninstall the Zimbra connector and use POP3 or IMAP and it works normal.
It appears that the external program is grabbing a process from outlook to send the email and Outlook fails to regain permissions to that process. As stated, this only fails to work with the Zimbra connector installed so I have to think it has something to do with the Zimbra Connector.
I have actually lost one customer because of this issue and how much they rely on using the Adobe send PDF option.
Anyone have any thoughts to add to this? I didn't find anything concrete in the Forum's. Perhaps I wasn't searching with the correct key words.
Thank you,
Zimbra staff you can refer to Support Case 00011002, I will reopen.

I would greatly appreciate a cartographer's assistance in the creation of a collection of maps, perhaps ranging in quantity between 15-25, over the course of a period of time, with a commission discussed and paid over paypal for each one individually as they come (Or perhaps paying for each one in advance, as some people like to do). The maps are not required to be overly detailed, nor are they required to be perfect on-the-pixel accurate, as a somewhat rough, hand drawn feel is appreciated in this circumstance. Each map will be of a different zoomed in portion of an overall region, for example one may be of a town that the players enter and explore, another of a shipwreck and it's interior, another a cave, so on and so forth.
The method of creation is of no concern, however the scale and size of the entire collection must remain a constant, so that the players can assume the distances each grid box represents are all exactly the same for the purposes of gameplay. I would also be extraordinarily thankful to commission someone that I could talk to actively during the creation of a some of the maps, and note where certain key features must be placed for the purposes of the game, as well as noting which buildings should be fleshed out and enterable, and which should not, simply drawn as decor to fill space. The overall design of each map will likely be described to the cartographer both through the use of multiple sketches, and textual descriptions (Though, in my opinion, nothing really beats real-time voice chat with a screen share session).
As this is purely just to play a tabletop RPG with a group of friends I'm acting as the GM for, I'm not particularly worrisome over any of the copyright details, it's likely that each map will only be used two or three times over the course of the campaign, and then offered out as a pack to anyone else that wants to GM the same scenario but with their own twists. As for a deadline, however, I was hoping to have at least the first map of the campaign prepared and ready to introduce my players into the world as between the 4th and the 7th of November. Naturally, this can be delayed should the cartographer require more time, I would much prefer the artist not feel rushed and have all the time they require without impeding on their own social or work life.
I think that just about covers it, then. Thank you for taking the time to read my request, and I hope to hear from any of you quite soon. Contact me preferably on skype at: Ryousukereiji
(If Skype is unavailable to you, my email address is firstname.lastname@example.com , and I intend to check back at this thread regularly if you wish to post other means).

The Internet has a lot of wonderful things, like funny cat photos and investigative journalism, to name a few. However, when you're sick, the Internet can be a bit of a scary place. Do a search for "sinusitis," and ten minutes later you'll be watching a YouTube video of sinus surgery--you want to be an informed patient, but you also want to be able to sleep at night.
Bad Information: Scarier Than YouTube Surgery Videos
Finding reliable medical information online can be daunting – What's trustworthy and what's quackery? What's fact and what's opinion? Check out the MedlinePlus Guide to Healthy Web Surfing or the Medical Library Association's User's Guide to Finding and Evaluating Health Information on the Web for detailed advice for how to evaluate medical information online.
Where Can I Always Find Good Health Information?
San Mateo County Library offers web-based resources that you can trust. Health and Wellness Resource Center has has a lot of quality information, along with a list of trusted sites and some health assessment tools; use the guided tour to get acquainted with the site.
Now That I Have Reliable Information . . .
Online research should not substitute for a visit to the doctor. The best thing you can do with the quality information you uncover in your health research is to discuss it with your doctor.
And speaking of your doctor--do some research on your physician too. Consumer's Checkbook, an independent nonprofit, offers ratings for a range of Bay Area services, including doctors, hospitals and other health care providers. The Consumer's Checkbook can only be accessed at a Library, but it's better than Yelp because it offers ratings of doctors by patients and by other doctors.

Another thing to ponder at perhaps is the fuel to water boil factor, even if your not concerned with time. Like Bitterroot Bulls mentions it's good to add all the weights, fuel, cup and stove to the equation.
MSR pocket rocket, water boiled per 100 g fuel 6.6 liters
Jetboil, water boiled per 100 g fuel 10.0 liters
One could perhaps always go even lighter and less costs if your not concerned with time and build a open fire and have a Snow Peak 4.8 ounce titanium cup to boil water. There are lots of options but I like the Jetboil Sol TI weight to fuel boil ratio myself and ease of use.

Need to get some wins to counter that stinker.
The KSU game won't totally get rid of it, but will help a little.
Curious how CFers rate this game on importance.

KSU at home was always a must win, regardless of what happened tonight, so is Baylor, OSU, OU, KU, etc. No matter what you protect your home floor. We sucked tonight. Saturday will give us an indication of where this team is truley at, until then, I hope they work hard in practice.
Absolutely have to finish in the top 5 of the big 12 if you want to make the tourney, and even 5th wouldn't be a lock. Need to beat KState. Can't count on any other wins because obviously the team picks and chooses when to show up so any game can be a loss.
Yep, this thread has just been pwned.

I'm to the point where I wouldn't be confortable watching the selection show if we have a 12-6 conference record. This Tech loss is worse than any loss than last year.
They are all must wins now. It takes a lot to erase that mark from the record.

With a bad loss like this, every game is now a must win. If we are on the bubble at the end of the year, this loss will likely pop it.

Who cares?
I think it's a must win if we realistically want a shot at 1st 2nd in the b12. KU will lose at least 1 more outside of Hilton. But we need to almost win out at a shot at being 1st (which is highly unlikely). We need Saturday to give ourselves a shot at 2nd. Bad game tonight, but definitely a leaning experience. Get back to work and bring it on Saturday. Hilton packed house is going to get our confidence boosted and shots will fall

I agree with some others; I think it was a must-win game even before tonight's suck-a-thon. If we had beaten Iowa tonight's loss wouldn't hurt so badly, but our lack of big wins in the non-conference gave us a very slim margin for error.

Profile: Author John Grisham's Allergy Mystery
On cheating on the diet – and paying for it.
"Four years go by, and after a while I started eating red meat again. And I got by with it and I'm thinking, 'This is good'. In 2007, I gave the commencement speech here at UVA [University of Virginia]. Then my wife and my daughter and I came downtown and all had a cheeseburger. That was in May.
In September, Renee fixed some big beef dish, and she had a thick wine reduction sauce, just delicious. And I woke up and thought I was going to die. It was the worst hives and rashes and itching ever. I took two Allegra, got out of bed so she could sleep, went downstairs, and at some point fainted and my head cracked a chair – and broke the chair. Of course I'm hard-headed [laughs] so it didn't do any damage [to his head].
The last one was November 3rd, my wife's birthday, 2010. To celebrate, we were in Paris. We went to a fancy restaurant, and I had a very rich rabbit dish in heavy sauce and I woke up about four hours later with yet still the worst case of hives, itching. I had Allegra, and we almost called to get a doctor. But I didn't want to go to the doctor in a strange city, or a hospital, so we toughed it out.
And that was it. That episode was so bad I said, 'I can happily give it [red meat] up now'. So I've had 15 episodes in 10 years with a gap, oddly enough, when I thought I could eat beef and pork. But I can't."
On treating his reactions.
"I always have Allegra nearby. There have been times when I would wake up in the middle of an episode and take the Allegra, and it kills the itching but not the swelling. But you can sleep it off. The next day is ruined; you feel terrible.
When this got cranked up in the summer of 2002, I had an EpiPen close by. Renee was always afraid I was going to have a heart attack or stop breathing, so I carried an EpiPen …. From June of 2002 through July of 2003, that 13-month period, there were 11 episodes, and that's when I had the EpiPen. And then, I just figured it out. And I've only had four [reactions] since then."
On his wife developing the allergy.
"What's odd is now Renee has the same affliction. She started about a year ago. We live on a farm – ticks everywhere. And we're from Mississippi and never had the problem there. We moved here in '94, and again it wasn't a problem.
But I think the problem is being seen everywhere around here [Charlottesville]. It's being studied and all of that. [Renee] has been through it, I would guess, four times with rashes, but nothing as uncomfortable what I've gone through. But she doesn't want to do what I've done, so she stays away from red meat."
On how the allergy affects day-to-day life.
"There are times when you think, boy, I'd love to have a big old steak or cheeseburger or a side of ribs or even, you know, a Bolognese pasta sauce or something like that. But you say, well, it's not worth it.
Renee is a very healthy cook, and I've never had a problem with cholesterol, nor does she, or blood pressure. But it's a whole lot lower now [laughs], cholesterol. There's no real drawback. I could easily be a vegetarian. But my wife is also a wonderful cook. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen; we open a bottle of wine every evening about 6 and start thinking about what can we cook, or we go out. But we do eat a lot of chicken. A LOT of chicken.
[Outdoors,] we're much more careful now. We hike all the time, through the trails. We're much more careful with the [tick repellant] spray and spray the dogs."

In his new biography of Sarah Palin, Joe McGinniss claims that in her early 20's, she banged future NBA star Glen Rice when he was a Junior at Michigan. Rice was playing in a tournament in Alaska and Palin was a sports reporter for an Anchorage TV station. Allegedly, It was a one night stand and the two have not seen each other since.
I'm going to be completely blunt at this point in the post, so if you want to stop reading, I completely understand: There is nothing about this story that does not make me want to jerk off. Nothing. I especially like the parts that most people at this point in our society would look down upon, like Palin's haircut and the concept of a cub reporter getting down with the star player (Face facts, Loy Vaught) of the team she was covering.
If I spent any of my free time writing Sarah Palin sexual fantasy fan-fiction, which I have never done, but have totally considered, this story is probably one of the very first things that I would have concocted in my admittedly filthy brain. It shows her underhanded tactics at a young age, while also involving some hot, hot, hot interracial sexing. Add in the fact that he was 20 at the time and still in college and she was 24 and already on her quest for world domination and you've got enough jack shack material to keep me locked in a private room from now until Thanksgiving.
Most importantly, I firmly believe that the story is true. It broke to the media almost 24 hours ago and, as far as I know, she has yet to say anything about it (Rice, to his credit, has already confirmed it). When she eventually does address it, I am sure she'll deny it. I mean, seriously, she has to. If there is one thing that I love about Sarah Palin, besides her super-hotness, it's her super-dumbness. You know those comedy bits where someone takes audio pieces and cuts them together to make it sound like a person is saying something completely different than what they're actually saying? Sure you do, here's one for Pat Robertson:
Anyway, the thing that makes this whole thing all kinds of awesome is the fact that she really has no way of getting out of this without getting rid of a whole bunch of her supporters. It's not like we're talking about Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz here (and if we were, who would care?). This is Sarah Palin for Jesus sake, which is exactly why there is going to be hell to pay. This is the downside of having a fan-base that consists almost entirely of narrow-minded, uneducated, older white racists. As a rule, they have been really quick to come to her defense every time she has played the victim card up until this point. Since she first sauntered into the national stage they have always looked at her like their daughter. Granted, their daughter that they wanted to lift up the skirt of and bend over a sink, but still their daughter nonetheless (Don't forget, this is a demographic rife with incest). She's totally screwed with this one, and not in the good, emotionless, youthful interracial indiscretion kind of way. These people have little to believe in other than that Larry the Cable Guy is this generations Noel Coward and that non-white people are destroying this country. How is she going to explain this to them? They're going to react the exact same way they did when their real-life daughter, who is much fatter and uglier but with no better a hold of the English language, admitted to sleeping with a black guy. Things are not going to go well in that trailer park, let me tell you. Of course, it was good of her to warn their parents before a REALLY awkward few moments in the delivery room.
Granted, this story is not perfect for a few reasons. Number one, she would not be married to Todd Palin for another year or so. Plus, we'll probably never have conformation that they were listening to Public Enemy's album "YO, Bum Rush the Show" when they got down to it, although I'm just going to assume it. Also, she banged JUST Glen Rice. If Terry Mills was also there and they were giving her the Wolverine-style DP, then we'd really be getting somewhere.
Right Terry?
Still, this story is still better than any other one I could ever possibly imagine involving Sarah Palin. I'm so glad that all of my suicide attempts failed, because a story like this just makes life worth living. Did you folks know that Scarlett Johansson had naked pictures of herself leaked on the internet today? I did, and because of this story, I barely care about them. Thats how much I love everything about this story.
Of course... if there was some way to combine those two events....
Uhh,,, I've got to go.... something just came up.

The debate has been going on for a while. Should you stick with the heavy and cumbersome factory K-frame or should you install one of the new tubular-style K-frames? Installing a tubular K-frame gives you the option to install just about any engine you can think of, since the tubular unit takes up a third of the space of the original K-frame. Another plus is the weight of a K-frame. Depending on the materials used, a tubular piece could theoretically shave a serious amount of weight from the front of a car-definitely a bonus for guys who race.
The downside to tubular K-frames is that in order to install one, you also need to install a motor plate. A motor plate is a fairly thick piece of aluminum that attaches directly to the front of the engine and then bolts rigidly to the frame in some fashion. For a street car, the vibrations experienced by this type of engine mounting can take the fun out of driving.
Enter the next generation of K-frames from Reilly MotorSports-the AlterKtion. The AlterKtion allows the car to ride lower with improved wheel angles. Bumpsteer, which is present in a lowered stock suspension, is eliminated. Ackerman (a term that explains the toe-out during turns) is designed in for excellent tracking and smooth, low-speed turning. A lower roll center decreases the chance of jacking under high cornering loads. Caster change, and fore/aft and side scrub movement are all minimized to hold the car in a more steady state. Caster adjustment and kingpin angle have been increased for maximum stability. Rigid components are designed to eliminate flexing, and small-diameter poly bushings are used to absorb vibration without allowing excessive movement.
All components are designed and arranged to provide the maximum possible undercarriage clearance while maintaining light weight. Depending on options and the brakes used, the system will save 95-120 pounds over a stock manual-steering suspension.
The entire system is designed to be bolted on, with only minor drilling and grinding. The supplied accessories are quality pieces from manufacturers, including QA1 12-position adjustable shocks and chrome-moly/Kevlar rod ends with dirt seals, AFCO Racing coil springs, Flaming River MII rack-and-pinion steering (manual or power), and TX-series heavy-duty aluminum U-joints. A Mustang II spindle accepts locally obtained economy brakes, as well as kits from Wilwood, Baer, Aerospace Components, Lamb, and others. Lower tubular A-arms and upper shock mounts are designed to handle abuse without flexing. The kit can be used with stock upper control arms, but tubular upper control arms are available and accept either chromoly adjustable bushing ends or chromoly/kevlar rod ends.
The basic system includes everything but brakes and engine mounts. Schumacher-built spool mounts allow a direct bolt-in for big- and small-blocks. There are many choices for brakes, and although Reilly Motorsports offers Wilwood or an economy version, you can use any brand you like. If you choose to use motor mounts, the optional mount kit is a bolt-on. If you use an engine plate, the basic frame has no mount provisions, thereby providing the lightest and cleanest arrangement of parts possible. Currently, A-Body and E-Body units are available for order.
As with any performance product, there are some compromises to achieve bolt-on status. In the case of this system, wheel backspacing is limited, depending on tire size used. The following numbers allow approximately 1/4 inch of clearance between the rim and tie-rod end. With a 14-inch rim, a maximum 3 1/4-inch backspace is allowed. On a 15-inch rim, a maximum 3 3/4-inch backspace is allowed. And with a 17-inch rim, a maximum 5-inch backspace is allowed. Note, even though a 17-inch rim clears the tie-rod end entirely, with more than 5-inch backspacing, the rim will hit the tie rod at full lock in either direction. If wider, 17-inch rims are needed, an adjustable stop may be welded to the lower control arm to limit the turning radius. These figures are based on suspension clearance only.
When removing the K-frame, it's important that you do not leave the engine and trans in the car supported by ropes and wire. Remove everything and support the car with jackstands behind the front wheels. Since any Mopar manual will show how to remove the K-frame, we won't go in-depth with that aspect-we'll just show how to install the AlterKtion K-frame.

With the bumpstops, K-frame, and suspension removed, slide the AlterKtion piece into place for a trial fit. Tighten the four bolts that attach the K-frame. The kit is designed for the factory bolts with the oversized shoulder. The shock towers should slide up the outside of the frame-rails. The two tower attaching bolts will anchor them later.Each shock tower has two holes for attaching them to the framerails. With a 31/48-inch drill, drill through the frame at the holes, and install the supplied bolts and backing plates. Do not overtighten the bolts-tighten only until the tower is firmly pulled against the framerail.Install the lower control arms onto the tubes at the bottom of the shock towers. As both lower control-arms are identical, you only need to make sure the ball joint points up, and that the long attaching bolt goes in from the front. Tighten the Nyloc nut only enough to slightly compress the bushings in the control arm.Install the coilover shocks and the spindles. When installing the shocks, install the bolts from the front. In order to reach the adjustment knob on the shock later, make sure it faces to the inside. The spindle is installed with the steering arms facing forward, and the ball-joint nut gets tightened to 100 lb-ft.For our install, we used the optional tubular upper control arms. The factory-stamped arms will also work with this kit. If using the tubular arms, follow the supplied instructions to get the alignment close to the factory eccentric bolts.Install the rack-and-pinion steering on the backside of the crossmember. The rack bushings are installed from the rear of the rack. Install the large washer on the bolt, and slide the bolt through the rack and crossmember. No washer is needed on the nut side of the bolt. This application uses a manual rack, but a power rack that is available uses a stock power-steering pump.Install the jamb nut onto the tie rods, then install the ends into the couplers. Install the bolts that hold the tie-rod end to the steering arm. Install the bolt so the head of the bolt is against the tie-rod end.Center the rack in its travel. This is slightly less than two turns from either side. Position the steering wheel to its center position. Install the splined universal joint to the shaft coming out of the rack. The setscrew in the joint should tighten into the groove on the shaft. Remove the press-fit pin at the end of the steering shaft from the column. Install the smooth-bore universal joint to the steering column. Do not reinstall the pin yet. The supplied double D shaft is longer than required to allow for different chassis configurations such as manual or power steering.With the column U-joint lined up with the press-pin hole, measure the distance between the two joints. Approximately 7/8 inch of the shaft should fit inside the joints. Be sure the shaft does not stick through the joint or it may bind later. When you trial-fit the shaft, tighten the setscrew against the steering shaft to make a mark. Remove the shaft and drill a divot into the shaft. When the shaft is ready for final install, tighten the setscrew with red Loctite applied, and reinstall the press pin.
With the AlterKtion K-frame, stock location engine mounts are usable. Schumacher Creative Services-built spool mounts (optional) allow a direct bolt-in for big-blocks, with small-block mounts coming soon.Here is the finished kit installed on a '67 'Cuda with larger-than-stock wheels. With the AlterKtion kit, the total wheel travel achieved is 4.5 inches; minimum turning-radius is 12 feet, and the average antidive ratio is 42 percent. The hub-to-hub width is 61 inches with the Wilwood brakes. Stock-style econo-brakes make the hub-to-hub width 60 1/4 inches.Our application used the Wilwood brake kit. We installed the rotors and calipers per the instructions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Navy Yard is reopening to workers three days after it a mass shooting in which a gunman killed 12 people.
Gates at the Navy installation reopened at 6 a.m. Thursday.
But traffic was blocked from reaching the main gate because a tractor-trailer tried to make a U-turn, and its load shifted. The truck was blocking the road in front of the Navy Yard early Thursday.
Navy spokeswoman Lt. Cmdr. Sarah Flaherty said Thursday will be a regular work day, except for Building 197, where the shootings occurred, and the base gym.
She says the gym is being used as a staging area for the FBI to investigate Monday's rampage in which former Navy reservist Aaron Alexis gunned down 12 people before being killed by police.
Hagel: 'Red flags' missed before Navy Yard shooting
By Phil Stewart and David Alexander
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Wednesday the suspected Washington Navy Yard gunman's background presented some "red flags" easy to spot in hindsight and ordered a broad review of security worldwide, including clearances.
Aaron Alexis, the 34-year-old suspect who was killed by police during Monday's shooting, received a security clearance more than five years ago when he was still in the Navy and kept it in his most recent job as a technology contractor at the Navy Yard.
Critics in Congress and elsewhere say his ability to keep his security clearance despite a history of misconduct, including while in uniform, shows serious flaws in the system.
Hagel, addressing reporters for the first time since the shooting in which 13 people were killed including Alexis, said his deputy, Ashton Carter, would undertake two reviews – an examination of physical security and access procedures at all Defense Department installations worldwide.
Carter's review will look at the U.S. military's practices and procedures for granting and renewing security clearances, including those held by contractors like Alexis.
"Obviously, when you go back in hindsight and look at all this there were some red flags – of course there were," Hagel said.
"And should we have picked them up? Why didn't we? How could we have? All those questions need to be answered."
General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said it would have been hard to foresee Monday's bloodshed. "I don't know what the investigation will determine, but he committed murder. And I'm not sure that any particular question or lack of question on a security clearance would probably have revealed that."
Dempsey was also hesitant to adopt the term "red flag." "Until I understand the outcome of the investigation, I can't render a judgment about whether it was a red flag or just something that flew beneath the radar."
Alexis' secret-level security clearance would have been valid for 10 years, without the need for a renewal that could have led to new disclosures about his conduct.
Hagel said the length of time clearances are valid would be one of the areas under examination.
"Obviously, the longer clearances go without review, there is some jeopardy to that. There's no question about it," he said.
Alexis' initial background check was conducted as part of his service in the U.S. Navy Reserve from May 2007 to January 2011. He underwent a National Agency Check that was completed in August 2007 and he was determined eligible to handle "secret" material in March 2008, a U.S. defense official said.
That check for his security clearance was conducted after Alexis was arrested in Seattle in 2004 for shooting a construction worker's car tires in an anger-fueled "blackout," according to the Seattle Police Department.
The "secret" clearance was in effect during two other incidents.
In 2008, Alexis was cited for disorderly conduct in Georgia when he was kicked out of a club for damaging furnishings and cursing. Alexis was then arrested in 2010 in Texas for discharging a firearm in a case that was dropped after investigators determined his gun accidentally fired while it was being cleaned.
In 2011 Alexis received an honorable discharge from the Navy Reserve, even though the Navy had been pursuing a general discharge against him on a series of eight to 10 misconduct charges, ranging from traffic offenses to disorderly conduct, a military official said.
Private pre-employment background checks also apparently failed to properly flag Alexis as a security risk. The Experts Inc, an information technology company that hired Alexis to work on a project helping service the Navy Marine Corps intranet, said it had also enlisted a service to perform two background checks on him over the last year.
The checks revealed no issues other than one minor traffic violation, the company said.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (USA TODAY) - President Obama said Palestinians "deserve an end to occupation" and an "independent state of their own," during a visit Thursday to a territory that Palestinians want as a nation.
His visit was greeted by small protests and rockets fired by Palestinian terrorists from Gaza into Israel. The rockets landed in a town in southern Israel, but did not cause any injuries.
Hoping to move the Middle East peace process forward, Obama flew by helicopter Thursday the short distance from Jerusalem to Ramallah, the seat of Palestinian government. Obama was met by Abbas, Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and Saeb Erekat, the Palestinians' longtime peace negotiator.
It is the first time Obama has been to the West Bank as president, a territory conferred limited state status by the United Nations last November.
But he may have difficulty satisfying the demands of Palestinian Authority leaders who want him to pressure Israel into agreeing to Palestinian aims for an independent state.
In a press conference held with Obama on Thursday, Abbas said that peace was "possible" and "necessary," but he also said that it would not be achieved through wars and settlements -- or through violence. He said that the people of Palestine aspire to their rights.
Obama said that "the only way to achieve that was through direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians themselves." He said that it was important not to give up on the search for peace.
Palestinian protesters complained that Obama has done little to pressure Israel to cave on the issues that have led to a stalemate, such as where to draw the borders for the new state and which Jewish communities in the West Bank, known as settlements, should be made part of Israel proper.
Around 150 demonstrators chanted anti-American slogans and signs they held said they wanted weapons not diplomatic visits.
Security was extremely tight for the visit, but a few demonstrators managed to set up camp at Manara Square, the main square in Ramallah, where they held up placards declaring: "Obama, Stop Supporting Israeli War Crimes" and "US voted for occupation Nov. 29, 2012," a reference to the fact that the U.S. voted against partial statehood for the Palestinians in the U.N. that day. The vote passed, despite the U.S. opposition.
"America, first of all they want to stick by Israel," said Akram Rezeq, who owns a bread shop here." Obama, he's a good person. Palestinian people, we don't want to hurt anybody who comes here to visit us. We welcome them."
Bahjat Shehada, 35, a coordinator and translator for the German Embassy in Ramallah, said: "Obama's visit is nothing, it's just politics. All the U.S. presidents come here and nothing happens. The Palestinian Authority don't want peace with Israel. The people on the street want it but the political guys don't want it."
There was controversy even before Obama left Jerusalem on Thursday morning. Israel police said that militants in Gaza fired two rockets at southern Israel. The rockets exploded in the city of Sderot. One rocket landed next to a house causing damage, but no injuries. A second rocket landed in an open area.
Gerald Steinberg, a political scientist at the BESA Center, said Obama's meeting with Abbas, set to take place after Thursday's press conference, "has the potential for friction."
Obama "is clearly disappointed with the failure of Abbas to take any action to make it easier for Israel to go further in the peace process," he said.
In Steinberg's view, after Israel complied with the American administration's demand to freeze settlement building for 10 months, "Abbas did nothing to show Israelis that there is a positive dynamic to the peace process," providing a disincentive for further Israeli concessions.
But Palestinian legislator Mustafa Barghouti told AFP in Ramallah that the Palestinians face an "emergency."
"We don't have time," Barghouti said. "Either the settlements are stopped immediately... or you can kiss the two-state solution goodbye."
Palestinian security forces are imposing a curfew on large parts of Ramallah during the visit, after which Obama will return to Israel to address a large group of Israeli university students.
On Thursday, the Ma'an News Agency reported that about 300 protesters shouted anti-Obama slogans outside the Palestinian Presidential headquarters as Obama and Abbas met, flanked by a large photo of The Temple Mount complex.
A group of Palestinian lawyers filed a request with the Palestinian Authority prosecutor-general demanding that Obama be arrested during his stay in Ramallah, according to the Jerusalem Post.
The lawyers said in their request that they wanted Obama apprehended because of the U.S. Army's responsibility for the death of Palestinian journalist Mazen Da'na in Iraq in 2003. Da'na, who worked as a cameraman, was shot by U.S. troops after he was mistaken for a terrorist.
In Israel on Wednesday, Obama praised the Palestinian Authority for keeping a lid on violence. He said he did not expect to make any breakthroughs during his visit on resolving the differences between Israelis and Palestinians but hoped to help restart the negotiation process.
His hope, he said in a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is "a solution that would allow Israelis to feel they have broken out of the current isolation they are in in this region," and "for Palestinians to feel they, too, are masters of their own fate, for Israel to feel the possibility of rockets raining down is diminished, that kind of solution we haven't seen."
"I actually believe Israel's security will be enhanced with a resolution to this issue," he said.
Early in his first term, Obama pushed Netanyahu to freeze the construction of new homes for growing populations in Israeli settlements in the West Bank as a sign of good will to the Palestinians. He complied, but felt he got no compromises in return from the Palestinians.
Abbas has insisted that the Palestinians will accept nothing less than an independent state in the entirety of the West Bank with East Jerusalem as its capital, and the deal must include land on which Jewish cities have existed for decades. Israel says its capital of Jerusalem will never be divided and that it is willing to give vacant Israeli land to the Palestinians so Jewish cities in the West Bank can be made part of Israel.

Ocean shipping: New Southeast Asia service coming to Port of Boston
May 20, 2011 - LM Editorial
The Port of Boston announced this week that on May 27 it is rolling out a new ocean shipping service to Southeast Asia via the Suez Canal.
The service, entitled the AWE-5, is comprised of various direct destinations that have not previously been called on by the port's Conley Container Terminal, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
Port officials said that AWE-5 is a consortium of the China Ocean Shipping Company, Yang Ming Marine Transport of Taiwan, Hanjin Shipping of South Korea and Hyundai Merchant Marine. AWE-5 will call on the Port of Boston every Friday, effective next week.
"This direct service to Southeast Asia is a result of New England-based shipper demand. It has been something we have been working towards for some time," said Lisa Langone, a spokesperson for the Port of Boston.
The port has offered service to North China going back to 2002 through the AWE-2, which is comprised of COSCO and its partners, "K" Line of Japan, Yang Ming Marine Transport, and Hanjin Shipping. During the period May 2010-April 2011 the North China service accounted for a total of 113,364 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units).
According to a Port of Boston statement., three of the current North China AWE-2 service partners, COSCO, Hanjin Shipping and Yang Ming Marine Transport will provide a total of nine 5,500 to 6,000 TEU Post-Panamax ships on the new AWE-5 route that will offer port calls at Hong Kong; Yantian, China; Kaohsiung, Taiwan; Cai Mep, Vietnam; and Singapore. And Boston will be allocated 1,300 TEU on each ship, in each direction.
It also noted that in the beginning, the addition of the new AWE-5 route is expected to increase volumes at Conley Terminal by more than 100,000 TEU a year., and the addition of Hyundai Merchant Marine boosts Massport's roster of top 20 global container lines serving Conley Terminal to six.
Langone also noted that this new service increases the competitiveness of New England shippers by having more reliable and cost efficient ocean transportation services direct from Boston to Southeast Asia. She also pointed out that there are no drayage costs to another port with this service, coupled with the fact that more of New England's trade-dependent companies using the Port of Boston to move freight.
"I am extremely pleased that our highly successful North China service over the last decade has resulted in the launch of a new direct service from Boston to additional Asian markets," said Mike Leone, Port Director for the Massachusetts Port Authority, in a statement. "The new Southeast Asia service will offer tremendous growth opportunities for New England's trade-dependent companies wanting to do business with emerging markets in that region of the world. Direct access to these important markets is something we have been working towards for a long time, and I am confident it will be well-received."

LEESBURG, Va. (WUSA) -- Leesburg police say Jonathan Alexander Cowden turned himself in on Wednesday after shooting at a tow truck driver.
He is being charged with possession of a stolen firearm after shooting at a tow truck driver in the unit block of Plaza Street, NE at approximately 12:35 a.m. on Tuesday.
Police say that after executing a search warrant on Tuesday afternoon, they obtained a warrant for 25-year-old Jonathan Alexander Cowden of Leesburg for removing a serial number from a firearm. The charge is a class 1 misdemeanor.
Police say they found a weapon, a ballistic vest and other items at a home. They believe that they may have been stolen from FBI Agents' vehicle in Fairfax County in February 2011. According to police, military type ballistic body armor, military tracer rounds and other weapons were found at the home.
Cowden will be held at the Loudoun County Magistrate for a bond hearing.
This case is still under investigation, anyone with information is asked to call the Leesburg Crime Line at (703) 443-TIPS (8477). You may remain anonymous.

Forgot to add some screenshots:
It is more of an offer than a request. I am a player (not a creator or anything) of an old strategy game called Visual-Utopia. What I would like to offer you is a map competition for that game. You could draw a map and if administration and community agrees it would be used for playing. It has been a long time since the map was updated, but recently game creator decided that every era (match) map would change. This is a great opportunity to implement a few new maps and maybe change game development course (it is an old game, but has been changed a lot). Your mapping skills might serve a nice purpose here and might be an opportunity to realize yourselves. :)
Check the game out to be more sure what I am talking about.
[direct link]
Some mapping guidelines:
- Only mountains, rivers (with bridges), lakes, forests and fields.
- Should be recurrent so it could be repeated in x and y axis.
- No islands. All land should be reachable.
- Some passages should be small so it could be blocked with a blocker town (see example, screenshots)
- 2500x2500 pixels exactly

Admin updated some guidelines: [forum link]
Copy / Paste, because linking does not work correctly:
Here's information that you need to make a new map for VU.
px = Pixels
Map size: 2500x2500px
The map needs to be repeatable! So if you put two maps beside each others it needs to have a smooth transition over the edges. No cut rivers etc.
The map needs to have mountains, water, trees and rivers.
Mountains: 80x80px or 40x40px
Water: 80x80px or 40x40px
Tree: 80x80px or 40x40px
River: 20x20px
These are guidelines, although, it's very important that the terrain is not smaller then 40x40px. And a river is not smaller then 20x20px.
The rivers can have a round shape, but the other terrain should be somewhat square.
The smallest passage needs to be 20px or bigger for an army to be able to go through.
Don't make too much terrain. And don't pile terrain above each others. You can only place cities on plains (space without terrain) so more terrain means less cities.(dwarf and elf cities can expand into terrain though)
The default size of a world is 5000x5000px, so your map will most of the time be looped twice (2x2). And a default (2x2) map should be able to hold at least 50 players.
Walls might get bugged if they are placed on uneven terrain, so if you have walls (Zetamaina) in mind there should be horizontal or vertical terrain on both sides:
ASCII illustration:
T = Terrain
W = Wall
Bugged version:
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...(no terrain to end the wall)
