Get Ready for Summer: Home Maintenance Checklist
Summer is just around the corner. It is time to get your home ready for the hotter months ahead. Below is a checklist of things to do in your home to prepare for summer.
1. Open windows on warm spring days. Let the fresh air flow through your home and let natural light fill as many living spaces as possible. Open curtains and blinds. The sun's ultraviolet rays will do more than fill the home with cheer. They are lethal to many harmful bacteria that may have found their way into your home throughout the winter.
2. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall. Vacuum the coils carefully sucking out dust and anything else that found its way behind or under the refrigerator.
3. Take some time to wipe down, dust or clean space heaters. Check electric chords and plugs to make sure they are still in good condition. Store units that are in good working condition for next year.
4. Now is the time to prepare the furnace for the off season and get ready for next season. Inspect the furnace filter and change it if it is dark and dirty. Vacuum openings and grilles at the heating vents, registers and ducts.
5. Before cranking up the air conditioner change or clean the filter. Remove the pan from the bottom of the unit and clean and replace it. Trim shrubs surrounding the unit allowing for proper ventilation.
6. Make the transition from winter to summer by having your furnace and air conditioner serviced by a professional. Make an appointment early to avoid the summer rush and have a better choice of appointment days and times.
7. Clean the windows, window coverings and trim inside and out. Start by brushing away dirt with a soft-bristle, dry broom. Then get down to business washing each window with a rag or sponge and warm, soapy water. Don't forget to remove and wash curtains or dust the blinds.
8. Clean and repair windows screens. Remove the screens for the windows. Brush off dust with a rag or clean, dry paintbrush. Then, gently scrub each screen with a soft-bristle brush and warm, soapy water. Rinse the screens with the hose. Check for rips and tears in the screens. Many can be mended with a needle and thread. Replace the entire screen for those that cannot be easily mended.
9. Check hoses, sprinklers and other irrigation systems. The freezing and thawing of winter can crack pipes and hoses so turn on the water and see how your watering system is working before the temperatures rise and you need to use it. Check for leaks, puddles of water, breaks in the lines and hoses, and broken sprinklers and clogged sprinkler heads. Repair or replace what needs to be fixed before you have to worry about your grass and other landscaping turning brown in the heat of summer.
10. Examine the outside of your home. Trim trees and shrubs that may be touching the siding or brick, windows or trim. Experts recommend maintaining a distance of at least two feet between the home and plants to keep damaging insects and moisture away from the home. You may even consider power washing the exterior of your home to remove dust, mud, mildew and debris. If you find cracking, peeling or blistering paint, move quickly to repaint yourself or schedule a new paint job.
Summer is quickly approaching so take some time to prepare your home for the rising temperatures ahead.

Just bought a new aluminum frame, love the feel of aluminum the way it rides, accelerates, everything except the slight road buzz. In my experience, carbon or Ti seatpost typically transmit slightly less of this vibration to your backside than an aluminum post, so I'm in the market for a new seatpost.
My question is, do the Specialized seatposts with the Zertz 'vibration damping' inserts really make a difference? Not looking to start a "Specialized rocks!/Specialized is the Evil Empire" argument here - please only reply if you have personal experience with using both a standard (non-zertz) seatpost and a specialized post.

Feeling BP's Pain
September 08, 2010
Now that BP has finally issued its oil-spill report, supply chain managers may have another example of "blind out-sourcing."
At last week's SCOPE West conference, a leading logistics practitioner stated that no matter how many fingers pointed to other culprits in the drilling disaster, BP would be forever "branded" in the minds of consumers and investors.
In remarks made during his case-study presentation on "Reducing Outsourced Manufacturing Cost and Risk," Bristlecone's director of field marketing, Michael Hartman, told the audience that more diligence will be needed by all multinationals when it comes to partnering in all offshore ventures.
Will anyone remember that Transocean, Halliburton and Cameron International share culpability in the Gulf tragedy?

Been watching alot of highlight videos and am starting to see why people compare him to Sullinger - in terms of smarts. He doesn't wow you with athleticism, but makes the game look very, very easy. I think I'm dead wrong about him and really am starting to get excited about this pick.
I'll say it again because no one on this board ever admits they are wrong, but I'm starting to think I was dead wrong about Olynyk.

PHOTO OP: Death becomes him
Novak Djokovic continued what seems to be his now annual "masked" entrance onto Court Central at the Paris Masters today.
Last year the Serb came out as his alter ego, The Green Hornet, and this year he arrived dressed looking like "death." Though, to be honest, if that's what death looks like then bring. It. AWN.
Oh yeah, he defeated Juan Monaco 6-3, 7-5 and will face either 16th-seeded Tommy Haas of or homeboy Arnaud Clement in the third round.

Daughters In Danger
I have two teenage daughters. I was a teenage girl myself once. So anorexia is not a foreign concept to me. Especially because the summer before I went to Harvard, I lost 40 pounds myself. I spent my freshman year gaining the weight back, which was hard enough (think 1,600 classmates watching you change a pants size every month). But the really steep climb to mental health was admitting I had almost killed myself.
Although that was 30 years ago, I will never forget the grip anorexia had on me. So naturally I read with great interest a recent piece on Salon by the mother of a nine-year-old anorexic girl.
Yes, nine years old and anorexic.
The essay is one of the best windows into parenting an anorexic girl I've ever come across. Anyone with a young girl under their roof should read it. Here's a brief excerpt from the nine-year-old's mother:
"Slowly, the pieces fell into place: odd comments over the summer that I had dismissed, thinking if I didn't make a big deal out of them, they would pass like so many other random fears and concerns that my children had.
So, I came to this article, and the first thing I saw was an ad for a waist skinner. Really, how are we honestly supposed to advise our daughters when we are so Hung up on body image. I think they'll see right through us.
I've written about anorexia a great deal, too, and I absolutely agree with everything you've written here, Leslie. My daughter is also nine. I often leave my email address for people to email me with concerns or questions, and I hear from a lot of parents and boyfriends (I wrote a post about anorexic girlfriends on BlogHer and hear from 1-2 boyfriends a week months later). I was anorexic, bulimic and EDNOS even though that wasn't a diagnosis then for years. I wrote a novel about the psychology of anorexia and what helped me to recover. It's called THE OBVIOUS GAME. If parents find their way here wondering what the heck could make their daughters want to starve themselves, I hope it's not too much out of line to recommend they read my novel. Thanks for writing about this.

Aztecs to play UNLV at the Mack
UNLV lost at Air Force by 15 points on Wednesday night. The Rebels lost at last-place Fresno State by nine. They never led at sixth-place Boise State. They are 1-5 on the road in the Mountain West this season and have lost four straight, and over the past two years they have a single conference road victory in regulation.
But here's the problem for San Diego State on Saturday night: UNLV isn't on the road.
The Aztecs flew home from No. 24 Colorado State late Wednesday night after an agonizing 66-60 loss that extended the Rams' home win streak to 27 … and began prepping for a UNLV team that is 31-1 in its last 32 regular-season games at the Thomas & Mack Center, including 13 straight against Mountain West opponents.
SDSU coach Steve Fisher put it like this Monday: "I would venture to say that no team in America could have as a tough two-game road swing that we're about to embark on."
The Rebels' lone conference road win this season came at Viejas Arena last month, and now the Aztecs (18-6, 6-4) get to play them at a place where they average 11.6 more points than on the road, where they make 45.5 percent of their shots and 34.4 percent of their 3s.
Where the Rebels (18-7, 5-5) handled No. 15 New Mexico 64-55 four days before getting drilled at Air Force.
"I told the guys yesterday at practice, it wasn't the same team," Coach Dave Rice said on XX 1090 radio Friday. "It did not even resemble the same Runnin' Rebels team that played New Mexico on Saturday."
"There's a big difference the way they play at home and on the road," SDSU associate head coach Brian Dutcher said. "Their fast break is so much better at home."
And therein lies the challenge for the Aztecs. Will they resist the temptation to run, too? Should they? Can they?
SDSU is one of the few teams this season that has tried to run with the Rebels, who are built for speed and, as Rice puts it, "prefer to play up and down, if at all possible." The teams combined for 90 points in the first half in the Jan. 16 game at Viejas Arena; it was tied with 3½ minutes to go before the Rebels scored nine of the game's final 11 points to hand SDSU its only home loss of the season.
The Aztecs fashion themselves as a running team, despite statistics that indicate otherwise. UNLV ranks 41st nationally in adjusted tempo, an esoteric measurement used by college basketball stat guru Ken Pomeroy to determine a team's pace of play; SDSU ranks 153rd out of 347 Division I teams.
"We like to get up and down ourselves," Dutcher said. "But we've got to the limit the other team's fast-break opportunities, and I don't think we did a particularly great job the first time we played them getting back. They really hurt us on the fast break.
"And we can't run with them at their place – take a chance of running with them – like we would at home. We do not want to get in an up-and-down, crazy game with them at their place."
It is a must-win?
Yes and no. Yes, in that a loss severely dents SDSU's chances of chasing down New Mexico (8-2) and Colorado State (7-2) for a third straight regular-season Mountain West title. No, in that a loss probably does little damage to their NCAA Tournament prospects.
Both leading bracketologists – Jerry Palm of CBSSports.com and Joe Lunardi of ESPN – still had SDSU as a No. 6 and 7, respectively, in projections released Friday. The top computer ratings continue to smile on Aztecs, too. Pomeroy has them at No. 23, ahead of New Mexico (33) and UNLV (44). Jeff Sagarin has them at No. 29, Massey at No. 29, RPI at No. 30.

As Hamilton County elections officials continue to be stuck in legal limbo following conflicting state and federal directives over a local dispute, an area legislator is introducing a bill that could resolve the matter.
State Rep. Alicia Reece (D-Bond Hill) announced plans this week to introduce legislation that would require provisional ballots be counted if they are cast in the correct polling location but in the wrong precinct. Reece, a former Cincinnati vice mayor, says the bill is a response to the dispute swirling around the November election to fill a judgeship on the Hamilton County Juvenile Court.
Perhaps the perfect antidote to The Enquirer's fawning, superficial coverage of the new House Speaker is the profile of John Boehner that appears in the new issue of Rolling Stone.
West Chester's favorite son — who is now second in line to the presidency — doesn't come off well in the lengthy article by political writer Matt Taibbi, who quotes both named and anonymous sources from both sides of the political aisle who have worked with Boehner over the years.
Subpoenas will be issued to more than 2,200 poll workers and others to solicit testimony about advice they gave to voters in Hamilton County precincts being investigated in a contested judicial race.
Local Democratic Party leaders said the issuance of subpoenas is "a ridiculously expensive and time-consuming proposition" that could be done more quickly and cheaply through other methods, but that process is being blocked by their Republican counterparts.
In a fundraising e-mail sent to its supporters Thursday, Citizens for Community Values (CCV) gloated about what it termed were Election Day victories over "the homosexual agenda."
The e-mail, entitled "A Surge of Votes for Traditional Marriage," implies the issue of equal marriage rights was the deciding factor in numerous races.
With just five votes separating them on Election Night, Democrat Connie Pillich and Republican Mike Wilson are both appealing to supporters to help them contact people who cast absentee ballots that have problems.
Pillich, the incumbent in the Ohio House 28th District seat, was ahead of Wilson by five votes when ballots were counted on Nov. 3. But the Board of Elections still is counting absentee and provisional ballots, which could be the deciding factor in the hotly contested race.
After a seemingly interminable campaign season filled with bizarre antics and toxic TV commercials, Election 2010 is finally over. Some people are recovering from partying on Tuesday night, while others might be beginning therapy to deal with what lies ahead for our county, state and nation.
With new computer software programs available to create animated videos, this election cycle has seen several entertaining segments hit the Internet. Perhaps the best known video is one that shows an animated person trying to use reason with a co-worker who is a Tea Partier.
CityBeat would like to thank everyone who joined us Saturday afternoon on Fountain Square for the broadcast of Comedy Central's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. We had no idea how many of you would venture down to the Square for a healthy dose of hot food, cold beverages and comedy from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, but we were very pleased with the turnout. A nice crowd indeed. I'd even call it a "throng."
Don't let the innocuous name fool you. The Campaign for Working Families has nothing to do with making life better for overworked or cash-strapped middle-class families.
Instead, the political action committee (PAC) is concerned with electing "pro-family, pro-life and pro-free enterprise" candidates to federal and state offices. Founded in 1996 by evangelical Christian and wannabe presidential candidate Gary Bauer, the PAC has pumped $124,950 into ads helping get Republican Steve Chabot reelected to Congress.
Some critics have alleged Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) doesn't pay enough attention to the needs of his district, a charge he flatly denies. But come Election Night, Boehner won't be celebrating (or drowning his sorrows) in Southwest Ohio.

A Nursing Career with Global Impact
Dr. Jeanne Kemppainen, Class of 1958
From the spring 2008 issue of the Bridge
The summers spent with her Finnish grandmother, Mary Pelkonen, on a farm near Houghton inspired Jeanne Wierimaa Kemppainen's appreciation for her Finnish heritage and also a love for Michigan's Copper Country. During those summers she often accompanied her grandmother on visits to the old Finnish Book Concern on the campus of Suomi College. Not only did those visits instilled a love of learning, they also created in Jeanne a desire to attend Suomi College.
Little did she know when she enrolled at Suomi College in 1958 that her nursing career would have such a major impact on global issues in health care, and on the lives of a generation of patients and nursing students.
After finishing the pre-nursing courses at Suomi College, Dr. Kemppainen completed her bachelor's degree in nursing at Wayne State University, Detroit. She earned her master's degree at East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina, where she received the Outstanding Graduate Student Award. Dr. Kemppainen completed her Ph.D. in nursing at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where her research was recognized with the Distinguished Dissertation Award.
Following completion of her Ph.D., Dr. Kemppainen received a prestigious national appointment as a VA Post- Doctoral Nurse Fellow through the Veterans Health Care System. Following a long, distinguished career as an advanced practice and administrative nurse in the VA Health Care System, she joined the nursing faculty as a professor at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington (UNCW). At UNCW she was voted Faculty of the Year by UNCW nursing students, and recently received the prestigious university-wide UNCW Faculty Scholarship Award for her academic achievements and her internationally recognized contributions to nursing and health care.
Throughout her career Dr. Kemppainen has been dedicated to improving health care for patients with chronic illnesses. It was a chance nursing care encounter with a young dying AIDS patient, however, that motivated her to pursue doctoral education in nursing.
During the early days of her nursing career, Dr. Kemppainen worked as a psychiatric clinical nurse specialist and comanager of a busy inpatient ward in a large hospital in the southeastern United States. She also served as mental health liaison to all the nurses and patients in that hospital. Dr. Kemppainen remembers that, "it was during this time that the AIDS epidemic was just beginning in this country. One day, I was called by the nurses to come and 'do something' about an angry family visiting one of the patients. The situation that I found that day was so remarkable and complex that it actually changed and broadened the focus of my nursing career."
Dr. Kemppainen explains, "A young man, in the late stages of HIV/AIDS, had returned to our area from San Francisco to be with his family. Not only did I find an angry family, I found a frightened, dying patient, and fearful, hesitant nurses." The event marked a turning point.
For the same hospital, Dr. Kemppainen became instrumental in developing a chronic illness educational program for nurses, and began to work closely with chronically ill patients. In addition, she developed a program of research aimed at improving the quality of nursing care for chronically ill patients.
Following completion of her doctoral degree Dr. Kemppainen was invited to join the UCSF Nursing Network for HIV/AIDS Research, an international network of nurse scholars representing major universities and health care institutions in Taiwan, Africa, Norway, Puerto Rico, Columbia, South America, and the United States. The goal of the network is to engage nurse scientists and clinicians in cross-cultural and cross-national research aimed at improving the quality of nursing care for persons living with HIV disease. As a member of this network, Dr. Kemppainen participates in a series of ongoing international research studies aimed at helping patients improve adherence to HIV therapies and determining symptom self-management activities.
Also as part of her Network activities, Dr. Kemppainen participates in the development of a global agenda for HIV/AIDS research in nursing and serves on planning committees for seminal international nursing research conferences. Her research related to the Network studies, and other work, has been widely disseminated through toptiered nursing and multidisciplinary health related publications and national and international presentations. Dr. Kemppainen recently completed an invited book chapter about research for international nurses for a World Health Organization publication.
Dr. Kemppainen notes, "One of the special highlights of my career was the privilege of presenting some of my HIV/AIDS research at the University in Helsinki, Finland, and collaborating with a nursing professor from the University of Turku."
While her current research continues to focus on self-care in chronic illness, the direction of Dr. Kemppainen's work has expanded to include the association between spirituality and health care outcomes. Currently, she serves as a co-investigator for an international study which examines associations between spirituality and hypertension in persons living in rural regions of the United States and northern Japan.
An important finding of this study is the close association between increased levels of spirituality and lower blood pressure. As part of this study, she works with UNCW faculty colleagues and Japanese nurse researchers from Iwate Prefectural University in northern Japan. As part of this work Dr. Kemppainen has had the opportunity to study spiritual practices in Japan, as well as those in U.S. rural southern culture. With her Japanese colleagues, during the summer of 2007 she presented the findings of this study at the International Congress of Nursing in Yokohama, Japan.
Dr. Kemppainen is an active member of the Finlandia University International Alumni Board and the Finnish Council in America. She is married to Pastor Dale Kemppainen, assistant pastor at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in Wilmington, North Carolina. She is the mother of three sons, Jon Kemppainen of Austin, Texas (wife Susan), Karl Kemppainen of New Bern, North Carolina (wife Lynda), and Paul Kemppainen of Sterling, Virginia (wife Tiffany); and grandmother to Evan, Leah, Hannah, Reagan, and Piper.

I am also open to hunting anywhere else in the McCall zone. Im not afraid to hike anywhere, and like to put on the miles. I am 29 yrs old, in great shape, shoot a hoyt maxis 35. This is my 3rd season hunting archery elk, so I'm still pretty green, but willing to learn. Thanks for any interest or suggestions.

According to the California Energy Commission, about 14% of your energy bill comes from running your refrigerator. And since a refrigerator can last as long as 20 years, the decision about which one to buy can affect your budget for years to come.
But beyond the energy cost to keep your fridge working, how a refrigerator is manufactured can also make a big difference to the environment: The energy and water used by the factories that make the parts and assemble it, the packaging in which the fridge is shipped, and even how the workers are treated. That's why we're thrilled to recognize LG for thinking of the big picture when it introduced its French Door Refrigerator #LFX31925.
It's the first major appliance to get our Green Good Housekeeping Seal.
In order for a product to earn the Green Good Housekeeping Seal, we review a wide range of criteria. LG's fridge stood out for its energy efficiency, 100% recyclable and sustainable-sourced packaging, as well as for the energy and water efficiencies of its manufacturing facilities. The product exceeds Energy Star standards for energy efficiency and meets WaterSense standards for water efficiency. LG has reduced energy use in its facilities, and has impressively lessened its waste, too. In addition, LG conducts a thorough internal review to assess potential health hazards in its manufacturing facilities and mandates that its suppliers adhere to them as well.
Plus, this refrigerator has some great features.
Like all products that apply for the Green Good Housekeeping Seal, the refrigerator first had to earn the primary Good Housekeeping Seal. It was put through a gamut of tests by the experts in the Kitchen Appliances Lab in the Good Housekeeping Research Institute to ensure that it works well and is worthy of being backed by our limited two-year financial warranty. We checked to make sure that the fridge maintains safe temperatures for food storage by putting it in our Climatology Chamber, and confirmed that all compartments excel at keeping temperatures even from spot to spot and stay steady over time even when it gets hot and steamy.
Convenience and storage space are important features in refrigerators. The icemaker is housed in the door and state-of-the-art insulation allows the doors to be thinner than usual, offering optimal storage space. To keep food organized and at customizable temperatures, it has two humidity-controlled crispers plus a smaller refrigerator compartment and a temp-controlled pantry drawer. With a large divided bin, a large divided drawer, and a space specifically designed to stash pizza boxes, the freezer is also easy to organize. The fridge also has digital controls, water and air filters, and LED lighting. In a nutshell, after comprehensive testing, we found that the refrigerator offers excellent performance and usability benefits to the consumer.
RELATED: Top-Tested Refrigerators »
We applaud LG for never being happy with the status quo. It's constantly decreasing its negative impact on the environment by establishing increasingly rigorous goals and making sure it has a clear path towards reaching them. A strong believer in corporate social responsibility, LG is registered with the Global Reporting Initiative.
Sharon Franke is the director of the Kitchen Appliances and Technology lab of the Good Housekeeping Research Institute.

Hi everyone,
I've noticed one of the domains that I am hosting is starting to get random emails sent to it. The emails are sent to something like "firstname.lastname@example.com", they claim to come from an address that looks innocent enough, but the server sending the email is completely unrelated to the source address in the "from" field.
This is causing zimbra to bounce the email with "sender non-delivery notification".
To me, this looks like I may be the source of NDR Spam... someone sends a bogus email to my domain as some legit email victim, and when I reject the email, the victim gets the bounce message for an email they never sent.
How can I stop this? Is there a per-domain way to turn off "user doesn't exist" bounces and just disregard them?
Some of the domains I host have "catch-all" addresses and others do not. I don't have the luxury of turning off or turning on catch all accounts for all my domains, they must be configured individually.
I despise spam, especially NDR spam so I really don't want to contribute to the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks to you all in advance,

Brackins Chosen To Open Special Olympics
AMES, Iowa—The 2009 Iowa Special Olympics will be held in Ames on May 21-23 and many Iowa State student-athletes will volunteer their services at the annual event. Members of the Cyclone men's and women's basketball teams, football, soccer and cheerleading squads will conduct clinics for the Olympians on Friday (May 22).
Craig Brackins has perhaps the most important role of all the Cyclone athletes participating this weekend. The Cyclone star on the hardwood was chosen as the guest of honor at the opening ceremonies, (Thursday evening) where he will declare the beginning of the 2009 games.
"I'm thankful I was asked to be a part of this wonderful event," Brackins said. "It's a big honor, and to be honest with you, I'm kind of nervous about it. It's a great event and I'm looking forward to helping out the athletes."
"Special Olympians are great Cyclone fans, and Craig's willingness to join us and declare the games open will create a special memory for all athletes," said Cheryl Langston, chairperson of the opening ceremonies committee.

Swaro screwed up royally. Yeah, the button is on the left. I could have worked through that, albeit a pain in the butt. But why on god's green earth would they come out with a combo unit that has a minimum ranging distance of 33 yds??? They most definitely weren't thinking of archery hunters at all when designing the EL Ranges.
The Zeiss is the best option for a bow hunter right now.Button is on right, and min distance is 10 yds. I'm currently debating if I'm going to drop the coin on them, or wait a year and see what comes out. I think the LRF/bino combo units are becoming more and more popular, so maybe we'll see some upgrades soon.
Zeiss has a nice rebate going on their combo unit right now. But I have a hunch they will come out with something new as soon as I buy the current model (usually the way it works for me). I'd like to think they are developing a unit utilizing their new HT glass, and better ergonomics....We will see.
I bow and rifle hunt,...for bow hunting,why would you want a range finder with 10x42power for under 30 yards..., I don't get it, just to have a two in one deal? I can see why they would have rifle hunters in mind, those range finding binos are made for longer than bow range hunting. I wouldn't want a pair of those just for bow hunting.Everyone may not agree with me and I'll probley hear some crap,but that's just my opinion?
Less to carry, less to fumble with, less noise (binos banging against rangefinder can be costly). If it's too close to use your 10x binos to range it, chances are it's a top pin shot anyway.
Yup, less to carry, ie, less crap hanging around my neck. A big thing for me is, I shoot LR so I need a RF that works both close and far. There is no stand alone compact RF that works well for LR (Leica CRF's suck). I currently have the Zeiss PRF and it's by no means a compact RF. Carrying that around my neck and binos on my chest is a PITA. I have thought about the 10 power when ranging for archery. I have no experience using a 10x combo, but for open country ground hunting, spot and stalk, etc I'd think they'd work OK. I probably wouldn't use them in a tree stand hunting whitetails though. I don't carry any binocs with me hunting in treestands anyways.
Which leads me the next idea I've been pondering. Thought about buying the EL Ranges for rifle hunting and target shooting use and use them as binocs for archery hunting, and buy a cheap pocket RF for the treestand and open country archery hunting. I need a new pair of binocs anyways.
I just got my S4 lockdowns yesterday. They were made for my Leica's, a perfect fit! They will be great for stalking without hanging down to the ground when on your hands and knees and they won't bounce up and down when on my horse. I wish they were'nt so proud of their logo that they had to make it so large but that is what duct tape is for. I would highly recomend these.
I guess it would feel more natural to a lefty. Other then that I cant figure it out either. I bought a pair of the Zeiss Victory RF Rangefinder Binoculars last fall and love them. If you are in the buying market, then the price range is the same as the 2 you are already looking at. I highly recommend them.

SRI LANKA. Its a humid, tranquil early afternoon in The Travel Retail Village, a small community of some 100 people and 20 houses, about 60km to the south of Colombo.
The only sounds that can be heard are of children playing, birds singing and (as ever in Sri Lanka) a dog barking. Im here, along with several other members of our industry to visit a place that serves as a remarkable legacy to the collective generosity of the travel retail community.
The village was funded by travel retail in response to the devastating Boxing Day tsunami of 2004 that killed hundreds of thousands of people across South Asia. The project focused on rehousing the people of Palliyawatta, a sea-front village that was wiped out by the disaster. The Travel Retail Village was inaugurated on 12 January 2006, followed by a formal opening on 16 March that year.

to view an animated version of this procedure.
A hernia forms when your abdominal wall weakens, bulges, or tears. The inner lining of the abdomen and small intestine can poke out of this weakened area. A hernia repair is a surgery to push the abdominal material back where it belongs and to repair the abdominal wall.
A hernia repair is done if the hernia is large and causing pain. Some hernias, called strangulated hernia, can cut off blood supply. Strangulated hernias require immediate hernia repair surgery.
Without surgery, the hernia will not heal. The pain and size of the hernia usually increases over time.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a hernia repair, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
On the days before and the day of your procedure, your doctor may recommend that you:
Depending on the type of repair, you may receive:
There are two main types of surgeries. A conventional surgery or laparoscopic surgery. Conventional surgery uses a large incision so that the doctor can directly access the area. Laparoscopic surgery uses smaller incisions and special surgical tools. You and your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of each surgery to determine which may be best for you. Factors like your overall health, location of hernia, and complications will play a role in the decision.
An incision is made over the hernia site. The hernia will be moved back into the abdominal cavity, or the sac may be removed. In the case of hiatal hernia, the stomach is moved from the chest cavity back down to the abdominal cavity.
For some, the weakened muscles that allowed the hernia to develop are sewn together. If the weakened area is large or in the groin, a piece of mesh will be placed over the area to create a new wall. If mesh is used, the muscle is not sewn together. The incision will be closed with stitches or staples.
Small incisions will be made around the hernia. Special surgical tools will be placed through these incisions. A small camera will be passed through an incision so that the doctor can see inside the abdomen. Other small instruments will be used to complete the repair.
After the procedure, the incisions will be closed with stitches or staples. A sterile dressing will be applied.
You will be taken to a recovery area. Fluids and pain medicines will be delivered through an IV. If there are no problems, you will be moved to a hospital room to recover.
Less than two hours
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. You may feel pain during recovery, but taking pain medicine will help.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
The recovery time will be shorter for laparoscopic surgery.
There is some risk that the hernia could return. To reduce your risk:
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

MAYPORT, Fla. - Nine months is a long time to be a way from your family, especially if there are some members you've never met.
"It's a great moment, I thank god I can be here, it's a great day" said Mitch Inkpen, who has been at sea for nine months on the USS Farragut.
Inkpens says his wife had twins in November, while he was out at sea. He says he and his Herodica Skyped and emailed, but Sunday, he was able to hold his son and daughter.
"It's amazing; I don't know what to say. I'm speechless," said Inkpen.
"It feels great, we are first-time parents, so it does make us nervous. We'll see how he does with the feedings tonight and getting them to sleep. It's going to be great to be a family together," said Herodica Inkpen, Mitch's wife.
The Inkpens are just one of more than 10 families meeting their newborns for the very first time. The USS Farragut departed Mayport last June, serving with other carrier strike groups at sea.
During their deployment, crews members battled pirates and traveled as far away as Spain, Germany and France.
Scott Phillips returned home after only seeing his daughter once when she was only 1 month old.
"It's really great, I can't explain what it's like to be off of that ship," said Phillips.
"It's been so hard, she's been growing up and it's great now that he's part of our lives. He actually gets to be here everyday with us. It makes us so happy," said Scott's wife, Lauren Phillips.

Above The Influence, the youth-oriented, anti-drug media campaign run by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, has a new, avatar-based ad campaign which warns gamers that their skills will be negatively impacted by smoking pot.
From the Huffington Post:
To dramatize how bad a stoner can be at video games, the site interviews a computer-generated character who laments the demise of a gamer friend of hers. "I used to have a good time with Lyle. We made a good team. He had skill. He had swiftness," she says. "Well, he used to, anyway. Then our last fight, Lyle decided to get high. And it was simply: sayonara skill, sayonara swiftness."
The Above the Influence campaign points out that perception, memory and eye-hand coordination are all reduced by marijuana use.

Japanese automakers suspend vehicle production
March 17, 2011
Following last Friday's earthquake and subsequent tsunami, nearly all Japanese automakers have idled production, owing to either physical damage or rolling blackouts.
According to "IHS Global Insight Perspective," Japan's auto industry has come to a halt as the physical impact of the disaster has combined with power-conservation measures to hit production.
"Although the human cost is of paramount concern, the ripple effect of the stoppages to supply and production in Japan will be felt in many parts of the world, including the United States, China, and Europe, as many key parts and technology are exported to global operations from Japan," stated the report.
Analysts said the situation "is still fluid" and the impact of the disaster still being assessed. This should become clearer as the week unfolds and more information is gleaned about the extent of the damage to infrastructure in the country, the manufacturing plants, and indeed the communities that support the industry.
Initial discussion of the severity of the impact on the industry is centered around a few main areas of concern, including OEM assembly plant production. According the latest report, several auto plants in and around the northern Miyagi Prefecture have been shuttered – primarily Toyota, Honda, and Nissan facilities.
Many more auto plants throughout the country are at risk of closure, added analysts, some owing to temporary rolling blackouts that are being considered in order to conserve power in light of the damage to several Japanese nuclear power plants.
Brandon Fried, executive director of the Air Forwarders Association, told SCMR that air carriers are being called in to take out some components that would ordinarily move by ocean vessel.
"Japan's airports are in much better shape than its seaports," he said.
IHS also noted that there's been some through disruption to the country's transport infrastructure, affecting everything from parts delivery, personnel mobility, and shipping activity.

They usuallly start on the first of a given month. However, sometimes a challange starts late, and since 25 days is alotted for challenges it might go a bit into the next month.

went to the rec tonight and played some basketball and as i was leaving i saw Leonard Johnson playin some wii baseball with a disadvantaged young man, he was having a good time playing the game with him too.
I guess i am making this thread because i know alot of people think he is not a good person because of his questionable actions on the playing field, but he was very friendly to me and every one who was there, and i think he gets a bad rap.
Good news and fun, too!
I think the bad rap came from the early flurry of late hits. That habit ended, and he went back to showing the talent that we all believe he has.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
Never thought he was a bad person.....
His emotion on the field has nothing to do with his personality off the field(I do remember the late hits he made). Good to hear though. Thanks for sharing.
OSU 2011 Game Thread
Leonard's a great guy off the field. Funny as hell too. A lot of our football players have great personalities.
I'm very happy that LJ stayed and I think ISU will end up being a great place for him. He's just one of those guys that has that special something and the potential to be a great leader for this team. Glad to hear he's a good guy on campus too.
-- Thanks Coach Paul Rhoads. --
I doubt anyone ever thought he was a bad guy. He made some pretty boneheaded plays on the field, this last year, though.
He's got a TON of potential, but he's got a LONG way to go yet as a football player.
He was also sitting with kids in the front row at the beauty and the beast. Not sure if he was talking to some adults that they were with or not.
yes i really like the fire he brings on the defensive side of the ball.
I know his passion sometime translates into late hits which in the stat book looks really bad. But the players see that and in return it gets them fired up to lay down the lumber on the next play
gotta love the passion lol
It is great to hear stories like this.
Usually, all we hear is the bad news, while the countless 1000's of good deeds go unreported.
Thanks again for your post.
oh oh oh and i went to Pita Pit and was ordering and Justin Hamilton and Cliton Mann getting something too lol.
I guess it was just my night to see Cyclone athletes!
nice, always good to hear about athletes being good guys off the court too. he seems like a good kid and man can he lay the lumber. looking forward to three more years of LJ!!

Hi there.
I like Zimbra Desktop, but the only thing I cant find out how to do is to make life easier for users to configure they credentials.
I have a environment where we are almost forced to use a hosted version of ZCS by our local authority (we are a school). We didn't want to use POP3 with outlook and the hosted version we use only allows access via POP3 or the webmail interface. I found that Zimbra Desktop worked and rolled that out for the staff that use email throughout the day. These people have their own desks and their machines are only re-imaged once a year, so admin of ZDesktop isn't really a problem.
The thing is the rest of the staff and the children... they really hate using the webmail, having to enter their credentials all the time. I would like to offer them ZDesktop but that would be even more details to enter, name, server, credentials etc. I know they would only have to do this once, but we re-image the machines every term, just to keep them fresh and knock out any bugs or make changes that have been requested. This coupled with the face that anybody may log into any machine in school to check email would mean probably that credentials would have to be entered into ZDesktop probably every time.
So what I would like to know is..... is there a script I can use to enter credentials for users. If they are on a machine that they haven't used before they could run it and Zdesktop would be populated with their credentials, or is there a way the settings can follow them. We currently use folder redirection for documents etc, would directing the App Data folder carry these settings?
Thanks in advance

Hostess says mediation with union fails | News
NEW YORK - Hostess Brands Inc says efforts to reach an agreement with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers Union have been unsuccessful and it will return to bankruptcy court Wednesday to begin liquidation proceedings,
A judge on Monday directed Hostess and the union to work out their differences over wage and other concessions.
The baker declared last week it would move to wind down its business and start selling off its assets in bankruptcy court. After making its case to liquidate on Monday, however, the bankruptcy judge hearing the case noted the two sides hadn't yet tried resolving their differences through private mediation.
Hostess shut down its three dozen plants late last week after it said a strike by the union crippled its ability to maintain normal production.
The union, which represents about 30 percent of the company's workers, says the company's demise was the result of years of mismanagement, however, and that workers have already given steep concessions over the years.
Hostess employs more approximately 18,500 workers around the U.S. It has a bakery on Arden Way in Sacramento with about 225 employees.

May 24, 2016
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) -- Authorities in Chile are keeping 16 suspects in jail while they investigate an alleged child prostitution ring.
Police say the gang was led by four women who forced girls between ages 15 and 17 to prostitute themselves. A judge ruled Tuesday that the women and 12 alleged clients can be held pending an investigation.
Among the purported clients ordered held are 83-year-old Guido Vallejos, head of the Chilean children's magazine Barrabases, and 69-year-old Jaime Roman, a well-known former musical producer for state TV.
Defense lawyers say their clients didn't know the prostitutes were minors and therefore never realized they were committing a crime.
Judge Santiago Varas ordered them held during a 90-day investigation.

I am always looking for better supplements to put in my pack that don't take up much space and provide as much nutrition as I can find. I also use these protein bars after workouts or as a meal replacement and they're incredible. They are called Dales Raw Protein Bars. They come in a 3" x 3 1/2" pouch and weigh @ 60 grams or just over 2 oz. They range from 240-280 calories, 22 g protein, 12-28g carb, 12-16g fat depending on which flavor you choose. They are like cookie dough consistency. I have tried the blueberry macadamia and the cafe mocha ones, both really good. He uses all fresh ingredients, no artificial preservatives or sweeteners and actually makes them after you place your order. A little pricey but worth it. Make sure you hide them from your kids or they will inhale them ) Rather than bash some of the other products I have carried in my pack I suggest you take whatever you currently like and compare ingredients. Please forward this link to any other friends that may be interested. These have found a permanent spot on my backpack checklist.
Dale's Raw Protein Bars - Best on the Planet!

Legislative Luncheon Scheduled Today
(Des Moines) -- As a way to pay tribute to the thousands of sailors and soldiers that lost their lives 70 years ago during the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad has ordered that all flags be flown at half staff today. Branstad issued the order on Tuesday to fly flags in the state
at half-staff from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, killed 2,390 Americans and brought the United States into World War II.
(LeMars) -- The LeMars Chamber of Commerce is hosting a legislative luncheon today at noon at the American Bank. State Senator Bill Anderson and State Representative Chuck Soderburg will address the issues that will come before the general assembly during the 2012 legislative session. Contact the Chamber office to make reservations.
(LeMars) -- Floyd Valley Hospital received its annual financial audit yesterday. Denman and Associates, a certified public accountanting firm from West Des Moines performed the audit. The annual audit revealed the local hospital has increased its total assets by 103 thousand dollars from last year to this year allowing Floyd Valley Hospital's total assets to exceed $27.3 million dollars. Fiscal Year 2011 net patient service revenue increased by $222 thousand, primarily due to higher patient volume. Fiscal Year 2011 expenses increased by $808 thousand related to higher staff costs. Operating expenses were $29.5 million which was one percent less than budget expectations for the fiscal year ending June 30th.
(LeMars) -- The LeMars City Council met Tuesday and again the council chambers was filled with residents concerned about the city's proposal to change the water meters. City administrator Scott Langel says the citizens' opinions were valued as the city council revised the original proposal and came up with a proposal that seemed to meet everyone's approval. The city is now proposing that there would not be any private meters, however it does recognize that some residents want a second meter for when they irrigate their lawns. Langel explains the new proposal.
Listen here
Langel says the city will charge an installation fee, on average about $240 for the second meter, but the second meter would not be charged any sewer rates. He says due to the changes of the proposal, that has pushed back the council's official reading schedule.

In other action, the city council approved the financial audit of the Floyd Valley Hospital, scheduled a public hearing for December 20th on the pending sale of the city's share of LeMars Communications L.L.P, and they made an agreement with the Iowa Department of Transporation for a RISE grant to assist with the infrastructure on the new Dogwood Properties.

(LeMars) -- Plymouth County librarians met with the County Board of Supervisors informing them of the important role libraries have for communities. LeMars Public Librarian, Sue Kroesche says local libraries help with economic development and help build communities. The librarians were at the supervisor meeting to offer a request for funding for the next year. Last year, the supervisors allocated $72,000 to the various county librarys which equates to $8.61 per person living in Plymouth County. Kroesche says libraries need to keep up with the latest technology. She says for every dollar invested into local libraries, the return to the community is $12. The community libraries are requesting the Board of Supervisors to consider a four percent increase in funding which would equate to a total of $75,000. The Supervisors also heard from Deb Steffen, the Plymouth County Board of Health Director. Steffen informed the supervisors the board has three vacancies. She said the board consists of five members. The County Health Director hopes to have the vacancies filled before their February meeting.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - MidAmerican Energy plans to raise electric rates by 3 to 4 percent in 2012 to cover rising costs.
Spokeswoman Tina Pothoff says letters to customers will be sent in February, with the increase by March. She says it's necessary to recover rising environmental requirements and energy production
Iowa law allows utilities to impose rate increases on a temporary basis until the Iowa Utilities Board can make a final decision.
MidAmerican Energy, the state's Iowa's largest utility, has 770,000 customers in Iowa. It has been operating under a rate freeze that preserves rates until 2013. But the agreement with state regulators allows MidAmerican to impose special adjustment charges.
MidAmerican has not raised base electric rates in 16 years.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co. has agreed to buy a 550-megawatt solar energy farm in California from First Solar Inc.
Des Moines-based MidAmerican said in a news release Tuesday that First Solar will complete construction of the more than $2 billion Topaz Solar Farm in California's San Luis Obispo County.
Construction began last month and is expected to be finished by early 2015.
MidAmerican and Tempe, Ariz.-based First Solar say Pacific Gas and Electric Co. will buy electricity from Topaz under a 25-year agreement. The plant is expected to provide enough renewable energy
to power about 160,000 average California homes.
MidAmerican is a subsidiary of Warren Buffett's Omaha, Neb.-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
AMES, Iowa (AP) - A top Iowa State University administrator has been named one of five finalists to become president of the University of New Mexico.
Iowa State Provost Elizabeth "Betsy" Hoffman will be visiting the Albuquerque campus over the next two week. The decision is expected by early next month.
The current president, David Schmidly, is stepping down in June. Hoffman has been executive vice president and provost at ISU since 2007.
The other finalists are Douglas Baker, provost and executive vice president of the University of Idaho; Robert Frank, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs of Kent State University; Meredith Hay, special adviser to the chair for strategic initiatives for the Arizona Board of Regents; and Elsa Murano, professor and president emerita of Texas A&M University.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A task force working to reshape Iowa's child sexual abuse laws has decided against adding college officials to a list of those required to report such abuse. The Iowa Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Task Force decided instead on Tuesday to increase detection training. The task force was considering the expansion following the Penn State University child sex abuse scandal. Task force members say deciding which college officials would be required to report suspected child abuse would have been complicated. The task force prefers a recommendation that members of all groups that involve children or come in contact with them undergo voluntary detection training made available by Iowa. The task force also will ask lawmakers to protect from employer retaliation anyone who reports suspected sex abuse.

AT&T and city officials are encouraging young people to not text and drive.
Hundreds of students at Lamar High School saw a promotional video Thursday that demonstrated the dangers of texting while driving.
The National Safety Council says texting is responsible for 28% of traffic accidents.The average person takes their eyes off the road for 4.5 of every six seconds when texting.
"Today was a way to meet with high school students and show them the importance of not texting and driving, and hopefully, having them sign pledge cards and pledge sheets that they would not text and drive," said Carmichael.
Officials have designated Sept. 19 'Don't Text and Drive Day'.

I think this is really good.
1). Actually I like it. I'd add a little more dirt and mud especially inside the orchard and corral, however, and perhaps darken the building roof a good bit.
2) I think you have done a superb job on the steps.
3) I think they are fine.
4) You don't need to paint the stone blocks one at a time; but I can't advise without knowing which programme you use.
5) use your 'gravel desert area' texture heavily on it and it might work.
I don't think the dark clouds over the desert texture in the second image are working - they are too large, regular and shadowy. Perhaps experiment with setting these to overlay, or increasing their detail. Best of all probably would be to create a grainy bumpmap layer and using your dark clouds as the layermap on the grain - might be a bit tricky if you are starting out.

Some of you are aware that I'm quite the Twitterholic. I tweet under the handle @Gabby_Hoffman and am not afraid to say that I tweet up quite the storm. My Twitter musings range from conservative politics to historical events. On occasion, I also include fashion and animal posts. Whenever I'm traveling for work or for leisure, I tweet pictures of monuments or interesting points of observation. All in all, I've grown to like and rely on Twitter.
Why would a young conservative like me use Twitter, you ask? Easy: we've got to win the social media war against the Left.
January 12, 2013 will mark three years since I started on Twitter. (In twitterspeak, I'll be celebrating my third Twitterversary.)
At first I was reluctant to tweet. This social media medium was extremely confusing and foreign to me. I was perplexed by the RT symbol, follow button, and hashtags. It was not until a young conservative conference in Summer 2010 that I started to use Twitter. Once I got the hang of Twitter, I couldn't stop using it.
In the nearly three years I've been on Twitter, I've garnered almost 22, 000 followers. What's the key to this? Playing hashtag games, helping tweets turn into news stories, and promoting friends and fellow activists. I've also used Twitter to promote my articles.
Due to my politically charged tweets, I've been mentioned by Politico, Twitchy, National Review, got linked on Drudge Report, and was interviewed by Fox News.
If you're not on Twitter, sign up for it and start tweeting. We've got a country to save!

The X Factor
X Factor: Who Will Go Home Tonight, Thursday, November 15, 2012?
It's hard enough to say goodbye to just one contestant, but tonight X Factor judges will send home two contestants (likely due to the reinstatement of Diamond White, making the Top 12 a Top 13). While the show itself asks you to vote to save contestants, not boot them, we're just dying to know — who do you think should go home?
We're not saying that to be mean! Of course all the contestants are hugely talented and deserve a shot at the big time, but we're down to the hard decisions here, people. Who would you sacrifice to keep your favorites safe?
I love them all!
In the end, there can be only one!

Hi guys! Long time lurker but I've never really gotten any goods in here. I have a lot of skill in making engaging and wonderful visual aids in my games, and I've acquired quite the reputation of late among my gaming circles for always leading games that leave you begging for extra innings well into the twilight hours. However, I have a curse... My mapping capabilities are laughably pathetic. I can write you a book or draw a lovely vista, and given enough time I'll show up with that spiffy wanted poster you just found on that kobold. Ask me what the lay of the land is, and I'll hope you have an active imagination because maps are the furthest thing from a strong-suit for me in such a way that it's not even funny.
What I'm up to:
I am a GM for a number of games at present. The things I'm running out of books tend to have these gorgeous folios or impressive provided engagement maps that my players leave feeling intensely satisfied with the 'full package' experience. My house games are suffering, however. For this reason I'd like to commission or request of anyone who wishes to lend their talents to a few maps of varying styles a sample platter. If someone wants to just take on the full Monte, I won't say no, however it is anticipated that I get a couple people interested with this commission.
For this one in particular, however, I'd simply like a city concept mapped.
Foreword about payment:
I am willing to pay for anyone who supplies quality with rapidity much more readily than I am for even the finest work that takes a year and leaves me with little information on progress. However, anyone is able to contact me and discuss rates, especially if you are making something that will be used again and again.
Time Constraints
I don't really have any time constraints per se. I've made do without the maps and I will continue to do so, but games happen weekly and I would not be upset with workable content in the next two weeks so I can post for my Aura game.
The games I am running are all currently homebrew dnd 3.5 or pathfinder core, and I'd like these maps to blend well with those. However, I am sure my players would respond well to town maps in whatever style you like. Mostly I would love to get someone to make a lot of these in their own style so that they can all feel 'packaged' so to speak, even against the backdrop of pathfinder supplements. This is how I make my work fit into the setting: Everything you find has the same flair as the last thing from that same region.
One thing I'd like, stylistically, is for everything to be hex gridded for large scale projects, square gridded for small. I'd appreciate this, though I can add it myself, as my players tend to get antsy when they can't tell distances at a glance.
Specifically for this map I'd like it to be large enough that I can mark locations of interest with key item clip art from the pathfinder supplement I'm using. I'd like it to be sans-markings so that I can add them and reuse the map if it turns out amazing as well, if that's okay. Also, please, if at all possible provide it in color.
I actually quite enjoyed: http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...chmentid=35960 :as it is distinct and reasonably constructed. However, I'd prefer something with a bit more noticeable buildings: Larger, 'in-charger'.
Description of Map
Ockehehill: Population 19000, primarily human, some elf, half-elf, halfling, gnome, dwarf. The city sits in a cracked mountainous region, accessible by stone bridges across rather deep chasms on the north and west sides, surrounded in high peaks on the others. The governing body of the city is an order of knights who have assumed control of the guild system, and a few powerful sorcerers who could not be budged during this takeover. As such, the city should have areas separated into visually distinct groups; Six of them to be exact. It is up to your creative license to design how they're visually distinct, as this is an as of yet undiscovered locale. This is to say I'd like to see a lot of buildings as housing, and then sections of city that are clearly 'out of place'. The sorcerers work in grand circular labs, as many or as few as you'd like, and the knights should have recently begun converting what was once a beautiful flagstone parade square into a castle in the center of the city. It should be under construction, at the beginning stages. The city should be grand in scale, but I'll leave exact scaling to the artist.
Quality & Size
Varies, and I'll accept all help in this matter. I'd prefer something lovely, but if you're willing to work for free I'll put anything you produce to a good home even if I can't use it for this campaign - with your permission, of course!
This is just for the entertainment of my local gaming groups, brother... Don't be upset if I use it with them, or if I pack it up and take it to a convention with me, and I'll keep your name on it and be sure to pass on your name to every GM who compliments your work.
The easiest way to contact me will be via email, Brian.Curak--at--Gmail.com :: Contact to discuss payment solutions if you request payment, or to discuss working on the other maps.
Thank you for taking the time to at least skim this wall of text, and apologies for not taking the time to make this look prettier. I invite you, please, think over the idea and let it sink in. If you do this one for free, there's no reason to assume that I'll expect any future work you do at my behest to be free. I am mostly just curious to see how well my words translate into someone else's creative eye for this first project.

Welcome aboard and thanks for your service!
Im new to the sight and will mostly lurk for a while. I am a Disabled Veteran and a gamer for over 20 years. I have hand drawn maps for years and thought I would make an attempt to learn some new skills as I have lots of time on my hands. I am particularly interested in making elevation maps or something some what realistic for my fantasy home brew world.
As time goes by I may scan in some of my old maps and when a new computer comes my way I will start working on new maps.
Thank you
