Very cool so far! I really admire those of you who have the talent (and patience) to paint this stuff.
Hello! I joined here simply because of this challenge that I found out about from the bay12games site. I thought I´d give it a go, since it seemed fun.
I prefer drawing maps by hand, since I enjoy the manual, almost meditative feeling of just drawing on a free day, so I decided to keep on the manual way. It's probably not gonna be as fancy as some of the entries I have already seen people posting, since I am by no means a experienced painter, but I hope that it will be pretty to look at, at least.
I made a small island world, tried a few until I got one I liked, that had a decent spread of civs and a nice shape. (The more I draw this world the more I love the shape!) using the legend viewer mentioned in the main thread (Thanks alot for that, whoever linked to it, it's been an invaluable help!), I then printed it out in several parts, since my printer only handles A4 papers and my final paper was a bit larger and I wanted to make it as big as possible to get as much detail in there as I could.
I taped the parts together, and got the correct size on the third try! =D
Wasting printer ink, me? No, never.
I then tried some methods to get the map from the printout to the watercolor paper I use, and finally came up with the idea to just use a hard pencil and push so that it leaves a groove underneath, which I highlight with a flashlight from the side and fill in. After that I paint the seas with watercolor.
In hindsight, I should have made the whole paper a gray-brownish base, possibly stained it with dilluted coffe or tea to give it an aged parchment look, but since I already started with the seas when I thought of that, I had to make do with what I had.
I marked the mountainrange and the ice levels just so that I dont forget later.
Next is to mix up color batches for all the different terrain types, paint out the mountains (I dread that part, since I have not settled for a good mountain look yet), forests, rivers and lastly cities and other landmarks as well as names and such.
I'll try to keep the colorscheme a bit grayish, not too many clear colors that will eat up the picture. I'll fill in all the details with ink.
PS: I am sorry that I cant scan the map yet, it´d be a hassle to do that only for a WIP pic, since I have to puzzle it together, so I am afraid you´ll have to make do with photos until I am done. I saw nothing against using photos in the rules though. Again, Sorry.
I have an Imgur album with progress pics as well. Check it out if you are intrested. Róth Tharith - Imgur

Nice start and great to see people coming over for the challenge.
Welcome to the Guild, the Mappiest Place on the Web, I hope you enjoy the stay.
One point about the challenge, can you also post the DF map that you are using for the basis for your map?

Please take my critiques as someone who Wishes he had the Talent
Diamond: Its more patience than talent, I feel like. I have made some other smaller maps as well, I got infatuated with ink pens and wanted to make something, and besides calligraphy, I feel that maps is something such pens are useful for, so I just started making a map and found that I liked it. =)
Korash: Thanks! It's a really inspiring place, especially a challenge like this one. =)
I have posted it in the imgur link, but I'll edit it into the first post as well for clarity. I made the imgur album so that I could document the entire process better instead without cluttering the forum with it all.
Today I "filled" the map with watercolors. I made a mistake and started painting some dark forests, when I could have just layered it with a light green and then put layer upon layer for the other greens.
Hindsight is 20/20 and I'll hopefully do better on my next map. I´ll just have to work around it all.
The next step after this is to basically map out all the colors and start thinking of what cities should be shown, and if I´ll have actually cities drawn out or just red dots representing large sites.
With ink, its always a challenge to draw small detail, but I do prefer actual little images of cities and intresting sites rather than just dots and stuff. It's food for thought.
I also updated the imgur gallery. http://imgur.com/a/uPLHh

Love it. I'm fascinated with Watercolors lately and have been fiddling with them myself so I can totally empathize with the whole, "Oh, I should have done it that way instead." Love the process pictures, we are happy for you to "clutter up the forum" as you say it. We love seeing the progress unfold and that is a big part of what we all love about this place. Everyone documents their process a little differently but we get everything from just a final image to the complete day by day update so feel free to go for it. We have a lot of space so don't worry about that and speaking for myself I would rather see the gradual unfolding of the project because I'm learning by watching how things go with yours.

I agree with Jaxilon. More progress updates do help to learn the process. But it is easier to read through them on your imgur gallery. Clever, but I cringed throughout your tracing process. There are a couple of simpler options: Graphite transfer paper, which you put between your tracing image and your art paper, or a light box; you can make an easy home-made version out of a glass cutting board or pie dish and set it carefully atop a standard conical lampshade with your tracing image sandwiched between the glass and your art paper. Alternate light box is a window in daylight. Of course, the light box only works if you detach your art paper from the pad.
This is looking nice. I've been hoarding a couple of hot-press Arches watercolor boards to paint maps on... but I'm not that good at patience when it comes to building up colors gradually. I also don't use watercolors, but transparent acrylics. Need to sit down and practice. =)
Wouldn'tcha know it... I went and got out my inktense pencils and a water brush to give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration, Khamero!
Jaxilon: I´ll post all I can here as well then. I love making little in process series of things I do, so its just fun. =)
Chashio: Yes, I've used different tracing methods before, but this time I didint have any glass or a fitting lamp, so I did what I could. It actually worked pretty well, for being an improvised solution with a flashlight. =)
I prefer the runnyness of watercolors. I´d love to see some acrylic maps and how they would turn up. There are some parts that are very hard to do with watercolors, like distinct details, which could probably be better with thicker paint that does not run. The ink I am planning to use is better than the watercolors, but not that good.
Some of these pics are a bit old, since I've been working a little now and then.
Here is the workspace for the evening, checking out the map in legends and painting some badlands and savannahs.
I am also really starting to worry about how to make the glaciers and the map symbols. Making villages and cities is easy enough, but as I am planning to stick with the ingame races and try to make the map as close to the game as possible, I want to do authentic dwarven fortresses as well, and I honestly dont know how to make them and making them look good and as impressive as I imagine them.
However, I am thinking of using the ingame ASCII symbols for settlements. Colors might be changed, but the symbols themselves could stay the same.
This is my lates scrabble map, with settlements, rivers, areas and everything in a great big mess. Also marked up the settlements inhabitants and which settlements contain the civ leaders. Some were changed since the game does not always put civ leaders in the largest or even large cities. There is a human law giver (highest position) that lives in a town with 20 inhabitants for example. That was changed.
I love it! Very Nice!
Aaaaand another update, since time is running out, so I'll have to put some effort into it.
A good day of drawing and painting makes one pretty tired, but some things cleared up. I decided to go for the DF ASCII map legend for the settlements and sites after all, which had the pleasant sideffect of being alot quicker to do than actually painting loads of little towns and such. The positions are not 100% accurate, and I realized only now after letting the map rest while I ate dinner that most of the site icons are crooked, probably due to me sitting weirdly while drawing.
Again, this is why making maps by hand can be very troublesome, and also rewarding. You have to live with the mistakes, but every mistake also adds to the uniqueness of the map itself. That being said, I'm kinda bummed about it all. I also messed up one of the human towns, which got filled in since my brush was too wet. Reapainting it would be a very messy project, so I'll let it stand.
Here I have added the rivers and streams that would be big enough to be intresting on the map. In the detailed map, there are LOADS of smaller streams and such, but I decided to leave them out. Much of this map is marches and swamps as well, so it would be littred with still ponds and small brooks anyhow.
This is the first sign of whats to come. The first elf settlement I drew. I was so proud I took a picture. The symbol as well as the color is original from the game, and it looks pretty good, I think.
Forest retreats galore. A quick shot of the workspace as well.
Even more forest retreats. I decided to make the capital retreats a more shiny kind of yellow, and wth a bigger symbol. I kinda failed the first one, to the right, but the second one, in the middle of the map, stands out nicely.
I just added the human towns and cities. The failed one is the one closest to the top, which is just a blot rather than a circle. The capitals are bigger and with kinda crosshair-like protrutions on their icons. I am not terribly pleased with the looks, since all the other icons are more elaborate and foreign, while the human towns are just a circle, but I stuck to form. The circle is the original ASCII icon from the game and the blue color is from the legends viewer.
Here are the goblin towers added. They are a very dark green, as from the legends viewer, which I had hoped would get lighter when it dried. It didint, but the almost black looks kinda sickly if you think about it, which suits those little dwarfnappers perfectly. The main towers are bigger than the others. There were loads of smaller towers, with just a hundred or less inhabitants, that I didint add in, since they fell below the population limit for what I wanted to draw. The main towers have 3000-5000 inhabitants though, so they are pretty well defended.
Finally added the dwarves and their little gate-like icon. The capitals are larger, and there is also a slightly larger fortress slightly north of the two capitals that was just large enough to warrant a slightly larger icon (5000 inhabitants)
And last but not least, the final result of a days hard work. Grass for the grasslands around the humans have been added, and I am pondering if I should add rolling hills as well. The vast marches and swamps have gotten some blochy pools that I'll decorate with reeds and grass to make them suitably damp and wilderness-like.
THe next step will be to fix the swamps, which will be a tedious task, but rewarding in the end, detailing the mountains and forests with, well, mountain peaks and trees, respectively, as well as the small patches of badlands and tropical shrubland/savannah. Finally, there may or may not be labeling of the major cities and such. And I will have to do the glaciers. I still have no idea how to do those. I might have to buy more watercolors. Some of my coloring choices come from my quite limited little box of watercolors, something I rather like, since nothing brings out creativity and uniqueness, as far as I can tell, as having limits on what you can do or the materials you have to work with. But having an icy blue or white would really really make my life easier with the glaciers.
PS: Thanks to whichever mod that fixed the title of the thread. It was very embarrassing.

Car Rental Stocks Will Drive You Off the Road
After 18 months of letting potential buyers kick its tires, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group announced that it's no longer for sale. This is bad news for Hertz, which seemed to be the last bidder standing after Avis Budget dropped out. The operators' loss is naturally the consumers' gain, and trends look ominous for this industry going forward.

Yeah, James looks great - but more board room than party appropriate.ReplyDelete
To his credit, Blake looked really sharp there. Maybe he thought, "well it is Men's Vogue.."ReplyDelete
don't get me wrong he looks good - just not for a men's vogue party.ReplyDelete
does anyone think john looks friggin' hot here? i'm wondering what blake would look like in john's outfit. must. stop. now.
I wouldn't know what the appropriate outfit is for Men's Vogue Rich. All I know is that is one awesome profile from James.ReplyDelete
Ugh one of my friends ruined Mayer for me. He cheapened it :( On the other hand, totally digging the shaved head.

Pure elegance. A world-class tennismeister in classic suit in the finest of fabrics.ReplyDelete
Matte gun metal grey, slightly purplish tinged tie enhance already gorgeous coloring.
So much is left to the imagination.
Oh stop. It's freaking Men's Vogue. I wonder what shoes James is wearing. What I'd really like to see is the belt over those finely clad hips. Oh stop.

Cyclones Impress in Cardinal and Gold Scrimmage

"I was encouraged by our performance today," Johnson-Lynch said. "In the first game there were a lot of nerves, but after that I loved our blocking. I'm excited to say that, because I haven't been able to say that in a long time. There were a lot of good overall individual performances, and overall I'm really encouraged and excited about what I am seeing."
The two teams combined for 22.0 total blocks on the afternoon. Tory Knuth and Tenisha Matlock were both major presences in the middle with Knuth posting a solo block and eight block assists and Matlock contributing seven block assists. Freshman Samara West was strong at the net with four block assists and Mackenzie Bigbee contributed four block assists, too.
Victoria Hurtt led the attack on the day with 16 kills, Bigbee chipped in with 13 kills and Matlock added 11 kills. The Iowa State newcomers were able to establish themselves in the attack with Maria Fruechte posting nine kills, West recording seven kills and Ciara Capezio chipping in with five kills. Capezio recorded three straight service aces during a third-set run.
"The freshmen did a really nice job," Johnson-Lynch said. "Maria has a great demeanor, you would never know if she is playing good or bad. She always has the same determination. Samara played great and was on fire offensively. You would not have known she was a freshman by how she played out there. Ciara has played better offensively; she had a tough time adjusting to the block. She will get used to that."
One of the major storylines of the summer has been the two-player race to fill the shoes of All-American setter Alison Landwehr. Jenelle Hudson posted 37 assists, six digs and three block assists for the Cardinal squad while Taylor Goetz had 26 assists and 11 digs for the Gold team. Johnson-Lynch took the time at her post-match press conference to declare Hudson the starter, but had plenty of praise for Goetz.
"Jenelle will be our starting setter, but I love how Goetz is doing," Johnson-Lynch said. "She does some really fun things, and finds the middle really well. She brings a great presence to the floor, and I know she will do a great job when she is needed to play."
All-American libero Kristen Hahn paced the Cardinal backline with 24 digs.
Iowa State will begin its regular season Friday at the UND Classic in Grand Forks, N.D. The Cyclones begin with two on Friday, taking on South Dakota State at 10 a.m. and playing host North Dakota at 7 p.m. On Saturday, ISU will square off against Texas A&M at 10 a.m.

Virginia wines are gaining acclaim and boasting
record sales for the state, but a regional wine
festival returning to Washington only features two
wineries from the commonwealth.

WASHINGTON – Virginia wines are gaining acclaim and boasting record sales for the state, but a regional wine festival returning to Washington only features two wineries from the commonwealth.
Gaining respect in the wine industry is a slow process, Virginia vintners say. But those that are invited are glad to be a part of the fourth annual Capital Wine Festival.
"Up until a few years ago, people didn't really know about Virginia wine," says Amanda Galanis, manager at Boxwood Estate Winery in Middleburg, Va.
Her pouring arm didn't get much of a break at the opening of the wine festival at The Fairfax at Embassy Row in D.C. Friday, Jan. 25. The demand was seemingly constant for Boxwood's signature red blends.
"It's very exciting for us to come here, show Middleburg wine, show that Virginia makes a wonderful wine," Galanis says. "They come here, they want to learn about our area. They want to learn about … the history of wine making in Virginia."
Wineries in Virginia produced 485,000 cases of wine in 2012, an all-time high, according to Gov. Bob McDonnell's office.
But wine making is far from a new trade in the commonwealth and traces back to pre-revolutionary times. In 1772, Thomas Jefferson grew his own grapes and stocked a wine cellar at his home, Monticello, according to Forbes.com. Jefferson later helped establish the first commercial vineyard in the United States.
Jordan Harris, general manager at Tarara Winery in Leesburg, Va., says that while Virginia vineyards have been around for more than a century, winemakers have had to work hard to make their mark.
At the wine tasting, Harris noticed more attendees had heard of the local wineries, but he says, he would still like to see more local wineries participating.
"I would like to see more local wineries as part of the [festival] wine dinners as well. I think we're an up and coming region and actually I think we've established ourselves more over the last few years," Harris says.
Boxwood Estate Winery, owned by John Kent Cooke, the son of former Redskins' owner Jack Kent Cooke, recently opened its fourth tasting room. Galanis says she's glad to see the public becoming more interested in learning about local wine.
"People are paying more attention to Virginia wine and now people are asking for Virginia wine, which is huge," she says.
Organizers of the Capital Wine Festival say they reached out to three other Virginia wineries to be a part of the festival. They did not respond to the request.
As wine demand increases at Virginia's 230 wineries, so do the sales. Export sales of Virginia wines grew by more than 300 percent in the last fiscal year, increasing from about 700 cases in 2011 to more than 3,300 in 2012, according to the Virginia's agriculture department.
"From being named one of the top 10 wine destinations in the world by 'Wine Enthusiast' to having our wines served in India, Israel, Sweden, Montreal, London, San Francisco and New York City, the last fiscal year saw a lot of new recognition and opportunities for the Virginia wine industry," Todd Haymore, Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry, said in a statement this month.
Washington restaurant 2100 Prime, which catered the wine festival, is one of the dozens of restaurants in the D.C. area to carry Virginia products on its wine list.
A self-proclaimed wine enthusiast, D.C. resident Elaine Maslamani tasted the Viognier from Tarara on opening night of the event. Maslamani says she has been to at least 10 vineyards in Loudoun County.
"My favorite is Notaviva Vineyards. It's one that pairs wine with music," she says.
"I'm a huge fan, but the beauty of it is there are so many out there that you can be fans of so many of them, and you don't have to be beholden to just one."
The Capital Wine Festival has several upcoming dinners featuring wine makers from around the country. See the list here.
Editor's Note: This story was modified 8 hours after publication to include the fact that festival organizers invited three other Virginia wineries to be a part of the event.

Petavius crater (180 km.) is one of the best known and remarkable impact features on the lunar surface. It is a walled plain and floor fractured crater with impressive multiple central peaks (1.7 km), beautiful wall terraces, mare patches, volcanic ash regions, a raised floor and remarkable looking ramparts. In addition there is a special feature of this crater called Rimae Petavius. All three parts of this rille system could be seen clearly under the excellent seeing conditions that persisted during the entire observation. Connected to Petavius to the west is crater Wrottesley (57 km). South of Wrottesley the double rim of crater Petavius can be seen. There was so much detail visible in this area I could not hope to capture but a fraction of it.
Although Petavius is 3.8 billion years old it looks younger, stately and better preserved.
For this sketch I used: black Strathmore 400 Artagain paper, (10" x 12") white and black Conte'
pastel pencils and a hard blending stump.
Telescope: 10 inch f/ 5.7 Dobsonian with 6mm (241x) and 4 mm (362x) eyepieces
Date: 5-29-2009 1:20-3:15 UT
Temperature: 13°C (55°F)
Clear, calm

I've been looking around for information on what I might be able to do in order to slow spammers down and one of the things which has always worked on assp is the delaying/greylisting feature.
I wanted to add this to zimbra 8.0.6 but I can't seem to find information which appears to be current. I don't want to go installing all kinds of things that aren't needed because 8.0.6 might already have certain things installed for example. However, I can't find a specific document for 8.0.6 either which clearly explains what I need to do.

Hello everyone! This is one of my first posts here, though I've been lurking quite a while. Today, I'd like to share some things worth thinking about when it comes to world building. Please be aware of the fact that I'm not any sort of published author; take this all with a grain of salt if you wish. My aim is to simply help you by making you think of things you may have previously overlooked.
This is not meant to be an overall guide to world building.
So let's get to it.
#1-The world itself.
You're probably thinking "Well duh!" but the world itself is a VITAL detail that is often overlooked in many ways. I've always found that creating a map first helps greatly with this aspect. So . . . being on a cartography website . . . go build a map
Things to think about:
• Is it our Earth in a different timeline?
• Does your world even remotely resemble our world?
• Is your world a totally different world?
Got that down? Great! Now you're ready to really sink your teeth in to the fun part.
#2-The people
Without people, your planet is nothing. I personally don't go so far back as to detail in history the evolution/creation of my people, but you can if you wish. I tend to stick to about 10,000 years of history or so, mainly revolving around kings, alliances, battles, etc.
An often overlooked element of any story is the calendar.
How many months are in a year?
What are the names of the months?
Unless you're Tolkien, you might find it hard to create your own full language. However, you can probably create the words you need to move the story along.
Is there one commonly spoken language? (A trade language perhaps?)
How do the languages differ?
Is there a language that only royalty is allowed to learn?
Are orders issued by commanders in battle in a different language as to throw off the enemy?
#2A-The leaders
Unless your story takes place in some sort of hellish anarchistic world (best of luck if it does) you probably have at least one or two leaders. Remember that unless your leader/leaders were created by magic or some other sort of unnatural means, they have a history. They have parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins . . . you get the idea. When designing characters, I like to take a look at myself. What do I have? Well, I have:
Devilish good looks (heh heh, sorry I just had to.)
Remember that, unless your main character is some sort of divine deity, he/she isn't perfect. Imperfections are what make a character interesting.
#2B-The people (continued)
So now you have your grand leader, be it a king, queen, or whatever you want. How did he/she rise to power? Did he/she assassinate the previous ruler? Was he/she simply lucky enough to be born into the right family at the right time?
Remember that if a ruler wants to stay in power for a while, they need an army. An army needs to be loyal. What are the benefits for the soldiers earned in exchange for their loyalty?
#3-Customs and habits
Customs are very important if you want your races to be believable. Is it customary to offer guests food/drink when they enter your home, or are they supposed to bring you something? Is it customary to tip the stable boy, or the knight's squire?
How do the women behave as opposed to the men? Are they the quiet, home caretakers? Are they warriors? Are they allowed to be a knight of the king/queen?
EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE HAS HISTORY! It's that simple.
Think about your main kingdom/clan/tribe or whatever you choose to write around. Are they powerful? Why or why not? Did something happen a few years ago, or a few thousand years ago to make them the way they are? Remember that typically the bloodline of the royal family spans for hundreds or thousands of years. Have there been betrayals in this time? Who/what lands have the royal families conquered in that time?
One of the defining characteristics of fantasy is magic.
- Who has magic? Are only wizards gifted? Does everyone have a little in them?
- What are the types of magic? Is there elemental, light (Paladin-like) shadow (necromancy?)
- How do people generally feel about magic/each form of magic?
- Is there a price for using magic? Does it slowly drain someone's life/soul?
- Is there a limit to how many wizards (or what you choose to call them) are in the world at the same time?
- Can magic be stolen from someone?
Unless your characters are magic-wielding gods, there needs to be some rules.
- What can one do or not do with magic? What is it possible to alter with magic?
- Where does the magic come from? Within a person? Do they borrow the energies of the planet? Is there some divine god or goddess ruling over magic?
- Are spells instant, or do they require some time to prepare?
- Are sigils/symbols/ingredients needed to cast spells? (Chalk, different herbs, things of that nature.)
Are there social consequences for using magic?
Religion is a sticky subject, even in fantasy.
- What is the name of the major religions?
- Who are the gods/goddesses of said religions?
- What are the rules of said religions? (Celibacy, strictly against magic, etc.)
- What is the penalty for disregarding such rules? (Death, damnation etc.)
- How to people generally feel about said religion? Do they love it, hate it, resist it?
That's it for now. I will update it when I have more time. Thanks for reading, and good luck with your creations. Feel free to add in your own ideas.

The London-based company provides auto insurance and other types of insurance to 43 million customers worldwide, making it the United Kingdom's largest insurer. As part of its ongoing effort to offer lower rates and personalised service, Aviva wanted to design an innovative pricing model that would lower insurance premiums for deserving customers. To better understand those potential customers, Aviva sought to use telematics, which is the convergence of telecommunications and information processing to allow information to be captured remotely. Aviva wanted to collect telematics data from moving vehicles in order to reward safe drivers, but deploying on-premises infrastructure to support the effort was too costly and complex. Instead, the company looked for a hybrid cloud solution that would be flexible, highly scalable, and secure. The solution would also need to integrate with Aviva's existing on-premises quote system as well as external web-based services and applications running on mobile phones.

TCC students have an important task to take care of before heading home for the summer.
For the first time, the community college is allowing students to register early for fall.
Starting Monday, Tallahassee community college students cannot only register for
summer, but fall classes.
In the past, TCC President Bill Law says fall registration in august has almost swamped the system. He and Vice President of Academic Affairs Barbara Sloan say taking care of registration in April will ensure students get one on one advising.
But there lies another problem. Sloan says more than a third of TCC's student body does not return between spring and fall.
Tameshia Martin, who is set on finishing up at TCC, says this will help her stay on track.
And as for fall classes getting cancelled, Dr. Law says there's only a very small chance.
Students who register early will still be allowed to drop and add classes over the summer.

Royals Hire Hillman
From the Royals Media Relations Department:
Kansas City, MO (October 19, 2007) – The Kansas City Royals today announced they have reached an agreement on a multi-year contract with Trey Hillman as manager. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Hillman, 44, is currently managing the Nippon Ham Fighters in Japan's Pacific League and will be introduced to the Kansas City media in a 2 p.m. press conference on Monday in the interview room at Kauffman Stadium.
"I am delighted to announce that we have hired Trey Hillman as our manager," said Dayton Moore, Senior Vice President and General Manager. "He is an exceptional person with a great passion to lead. He is the perfect choice for our organization.
"Trey has spent the last five seasons turning the Nippon Ham Fighters into one of the top success stories in Japanese baseball, including three trips to the post-season," Moore added. "In fact, the reason we are unable to introduce Trey today is because his club has just advanced to the finals of the Japan Series, where they will resume play on October 27. We also want to respect the fact that the Indians and Red Sox are in a battle for the American League title and we don't want to do anything to detract from the excitement of that series."
Hillman, a native of Arlington, Texas, will be traveling from Japan over the next couple of days, but provided a comment regarding his new role as the manager of the Royals.
"This is a wonderful blessing and a great opportunity to build a winner in Kansas City," said Hillman. "I'll be joining an organization with tradition and pride while working with individuals that share my vision for success."
Hillman attended the University of Texas-Arlington, earning All-Southland Conference honors as a shortstop for three seasons. He was inducted into the UTA Athletic Hall of Honor in 1992. He signed as a free agent with the Indians in 1985 and played in their system for three seasons. After spending the 1987-88 seasons as a scout for Cleveland, Hillman's coaching career took off. His first role was as a coach for a Prince William club that won the Carolina League Championship crown in 1989.
He followed with his first of 11 consecutive years as a manager in the New York Yankees' chain, starting as a 27-year-old skipper and recording a first-place finish with Oneonta (A) in 1990 and running through the 2001 campaign with Columbus (AAA). His three years at Columbus featured a 225-203 record, including an International League best 85-58 mark in 1999 and league Manager of the Year honors in 2000. He also earned the honor in 1996 in the Florida State League, and was voted Baseball America's Class A Manager of the Year.
Hillman then became a very popular figure in Japan, leading the Ham Fighters from a stretch of dismal campaigns to a composite 351-324 mark (.520 winning percentage) over five seasons, going to the post-season on three occasions, including a Japan Series title in 2006. His efforts were rewarded when he was named the 2006 Japan "Sportsman of the Year" by the 2006 Foreign Sportswriters of Japan.
On Thursday night in Japan, Hillman's club defeated Bobby Valentine's Chiba Lotte Marines to take the Pacific League championship and advance to the 2007 Japan Series final that will begin next week.
"We would be remiss if the Kansas City Royals didn't thank the Nippon Ham Fighters for graciously allowing this process to take place during a very exciting and busy time in their season," added Moore. "We wish them the very best as they continue their march to what all of us hope is a second consecutive Japan League title."
Hillman and his wife, Marie, have two children, T.J. and Brianna, and make their home in Arlington.

Easter with Maw Maw and Paw Paw
My sisters and I wore matching Easter dresses, bonnets and patent leather shoes. Libbie is on the left with Loni, the oldest and our protector in the middle.
I remember Easter Sundays at Maw Maw and Paw Paw Peeler's farm in Lincolnton. Zola and Richard Peeler, my daddy's parents, had the most magical home place.
Momma usually made our dresses after going to the Dime Store and purchasing a few yards of fabric, rickrack and lace. Our recycled baskets were filled with jelly beans, a chocolate bunny and the hard-boiled eggs Momma cooked and helped us color with food coloring. Our cousins came over, and we would try to see who had the hardest eggs by cracking each others' eggs. We would always lose because the cousins used guinea eggs, which are very hard.
The most fun was finding the eggs. We would take off running and looking among the buttercups, the clover, the porch swing or the chinaberry tree. We played barefoot in the chicken coop, grainery, barn loft or wood shed.
Sitting on the porch, Maw Maw wore a floral cotton dress and apron and would spit snuff into a can. Paw Paw wore overalls and talked about the crops and the weather. I can still hear the slamming of the screen door as all us young'ns ran in and out.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Former Army Staff Sgt. Clint Romesha will receive the Medal of Honor on Monday for his role in what is considered one of the worst ground attacks of the Afghanistan war.
Romesha, 31, will become the fourth living person to get the nation's highest military decoration for actions in Afghanistan or Iraq.
A day after receiving the medal from President Barack Obama, Romesha will be first lady Michelle Obama's guest at the president's State of the Union address.
Romesha led a series of counter-attacks against an October 3, 2009, assault by hundreds of Taliban insurgents on the isolated and indefensible Combat Outpost Keating in a remote valley in the Hindu Kush mountain range of eastern Afghanistan. More than half of the outpost's 53 soldiers were killed or wounded.
A pre-dawn onslaught by insurgents firing mortars, rockets, heavy machine gun and sniper fire neutralized much of the outpost's defenses, leaving soldiers pinned down without immediate support.
Romesha was wounded in the arm by a rocket-propelled grenade, but led counter-assaults that included a charge across the outpost that regained control of the ammunition supply depot.
In doing so, he ignored an order to hold his position, pretending the radio was broken. His actions also allowed the recovery of killed or wounded comrades, and provided time to call in air strikes and other support.
"We couldn't just sit there and take it. It was time to be aggressive," said Romesha, the subject of the CNN documentary "An American Hero: The Uncommon Valor of Clint Romesha."
The U.S. military closed the heavily damaged outpost three days later, destroying what remained to prevent it from aiding insurgents in any way.
A few months later, a U.S. military investigation found that measures taken to protect the outpost were lax, and critical intelligence and reconnaissance assistance had been diverted from the base.

How to Protect Yourself From Investing Scams
On the one hand, the volatile stock market has some investors looking for "safety." On the other, stock market losses have led some to desperately seek fat returns elsewhere. Either way, you could wind up in trouble, because scam artists are ready to prey on the desires of both.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - U.S. Marshals have caught up with the man they say evaded police for 8 months, taunting police on social media in the process.
According to authorities, Kelvin S. Bailey was wanted for felony-possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. He tweeted and posted on Facebook about escaping capture. A joint-agency force tracked the suspect early Thursday morning at his home in Aldie, Va.
Officials say Bailey once again tried to escape through the front bathroom window but was eventually apprehended. He was taken to Fairfax County for prosecution.
Prince William County also issued a misdemeanor warrant for Bailey, who allegedly drove on a suspended license.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A break-in at Zoo Boise early today has left a Patas monkey dead from blunt force trauma to the head and neck and police are analyzing blood found at the scene to determine if it came from the monkey or one of two human intruders.
Police say two males wearing dark clothing were spotted by a security guard at 4:30 a.m. outside the fence near the primate exhibit. Both fled, one of them heading into the interior of the zoo. Boise police used a thermal imager in searching the 11-acre zoo grounds but didn't find the person.
Zoo Boise Director Steve Burns says he's been at the facility for 15 years and hasn't seen anything like this. He says "It's unfortunate that we have to let kids know that something like this happens. Monkeys are always among the most favorite animals here."
Patas monkeys have reddish-brown fur with grey chin whiskers and distinctive white moustaches. They're widely distributed across central Africa south of the Sahara Desert and can live more than 20 years in captivity.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. (WUSA) - Three helicopters pierced the blue sky as thousands cheered the arrival of President Obama to Woodbridge.
"Four years ago, you elected Barack Obama. Are you ready to do it again?" shouted Senator Mark Warner (D-Va) as he warmed up the crowd, about 6000 Democrats who received tickets to see the President in person.
The president started with a nod to the venue, the Potomac National Baseball Stadium, and the team they're named after. "I want to congratulate the Washington Nationals for bringing baseball back to D.C."
Once again, Mr. Obama mocked tax cuts for the wealthy as having a miraculous impact on the economy. "Jobs and prosperity will rain down from the sky. We will all live happily ever after," Obama said.
Obama defended his statement that he made in an interview yesterday, that "you can't change Washington from inside."
Today, he said he was talking about the voters who elected the lawmakers who made changes. He mocked Romney's criticism of that statement.
Mr. Obama also talked about the benefits of The Affordable Care Act. He said repeal would mean billions of new profits for insurance companies. "No American should ever spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies."
He said, "We have to keep the promise on Social Security by reforming it and not handing it over the Wall St.," and said that GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan had written a bill previously to do just that.
Observers said they were pleased to hear more details in Mr. Obama's speech than what they've heard previously.
Greg Ward thought Obama's speech was more detailed and inspiring than the one he gave at the Democratic National Convention. He felt the president has successfully adopted some of President Bill Clinton's speech techniques.
The Republican response to President Obama's Woodbridge speech, from Curt Cashour, the Virginia Communications Director, Romney for President:

James Howard Kunstler's charming tale takes us back to an age when New York City was a natural playground for a little boy and his own, personal vampire hero -- a time when it seemed possible that all of our dreams could come true.

The nationally best-selling author of "The Long Emergency" expands on his alarming argument that our oil-addicted, technology-dependent society is on the brink of collapse—that the long emergency has already begun. Published by the Atlantic Monthly Press in July 2012. (Read more.)
"Followers of Kunstler's writings and attendees of his many lecture appearances will recognize the take-no-prisoners style, the harsh invective directed at familiar targets—cars, planes, skyscrapers, Wall Street, suburbia—and the pleas on behalf of walkable cities, trains and farms built to human scale. The added feature here is the scorn he directs at those who refuse to recognize the severity and dimensions of the crisis he describes."

"What sets The Long Emergency apart from numerous other books on this theme is its comprehensive sweep—its powerful integration of science, technology, economics, finance, international politics and social change—along with a fascinating attempt to peer into a chaotic future. And Kunstler is such a compelling, fast-paced and sometimes eloquent writer that the book is hard to put down.

The Geography of Nowhere, my first non-fiction book on the tragic sprawlscape of cartoon architecture, junked cities, and ravaged countryside where we live and work.

Maggie Darling, A Modern romance. This was my 'Martha Stewart' novel, a lot of fun to write. Set in Connecticut, New York City, and Vermont, the story follows the romantic misadventures of a media goddess celebrated for her domestic skills. It begins at a Christmas Eve party among the wealthy and celebrateded, and ends in a Hartford crack house. It didn't get a very fair shake from the reviewers who (naturally) failed to notice that it was funny. One of my personal favorites.

Other Books by JHK
(Mostly out of print but some are available through Amazon and the Advanced Book Exchange)
You wouldn't know it, but I actually published a whole bale of novels before I started writing nonfiction about architecture and our human ecology. All of the novels are currently out-of-print. You have to search the flea markets, the used bookshops, or the discontinued merchandise bin of the K-mart if you want to find them. Some are better than others -- it sometimes seems that I wrote them in another life. But for those of you who are interested, here's a roster of them:
The Wampanaki Tales
Doubleday 1979
Kids at a summer camp. Has it's moments but, hey, it's a first novel. Probably a collector's item.
Order From: Amazon || Barnes & Noble
The Life of Byron Janes
WW Norton 1983
Story of a rock and roll star thought to be dead but discovered living an anonymous and reclusive life in a back corner of New England. The story cuts back and forth between the 1960s and the then-present day of the narration, which is in the voice of a music journalist who discovers the rocker. It's a pretty good description of an era now fading deep into the past. Scenes of original Woodstock festival. A decent literary performance, but the publisher had no idea how to bring it to the public's attention.
Order From: Amazon || Barnes & Noble
A Clown in the Moonlight
St Martin's Press 1981
A marriage farce set on the campus of an artsy progressive Vermont college. Originally titled "Brain Damge: A Love Story" but the publisher made me change it. (They thought it evoked an unsavory image of retards in love.) The few critics who reviewed it clobbered me for being "just another mouthy college prof in a bad marriage." Fact was, I'd never taught in a college or been married when I wrote the book, but I could see in hindsight what a tactical career error it was. Amusing if you can unearth a copy.
Order From: Amazon || Barnes & Noble
An Embarrassment of Riches
Dial Press 1985
A favorite. Tour de force historical comedy (1803) about two bumbling botonists sent into the southern wilderness by Thomas Jefferson to look for something that isn't there. In the spirit of Louis and Clark (who make cameo appearences). Replete with wild Indians, river rirates, the kidnapped son of Louis XVI, the lost colony of Roanoke, and much more. Still cracks me up.
The cover shown here is the trashy cover art of the paperback edition. The hardcover was much cooler -- an old woodcut of a woman wrestling with an alligator. Will post that soon....
Order From: Amazon || Barnes & Noble
The Halloween Ball
Bantam 1987
Another favorite. The story takes place from dawn until late at night on Halloween in an upstate New York town and revolves sort of cinematically around the lives of four characters in their 30s -- all men -- who are colliding with the task of finally growing up one way or another. A serious tale, but full of funny gags and clever scenes. Strangers keep optioning it for the movies but it hasn't been made into one yet.
Order From: Amazon || Barnes & Noble
Thunder Island
Bantam 1989
By the time I composed this novel, I was getting a little burnt out from writing one after another to pay the light bill. The story takes place at a Hamptons-like beach resort town in 1967. It's about what happens to a New York City kid the summer after he graduates from high school, with the Vietnam War looming in the background. Surfing, drugs, young love.
Order From: Amazon || Barnes & Noble
Blood Solstice
Doubleday 1986
Story about a newspaper reporter who gets mixed up with religious cult killers. Set in a small, mid-American city. It's narrated by the reporter and has a nice wacky, hapless quality about it. Loosely based on my own experience as a reporter back in the 1970s, when I specialized in investigating religious cult groups. I got to know quite a few of them and how they operated.

The Hunt
Tor Books 1988
If the creature is just a legend, then what is trying to kill you?
I wrote this novel back in 1975 when I worked for Rolling Stone in San Francisco, getting up at four o'clock in the morning to work on it. I couldn't sell the damn thing until 1986 or so -- and then only to a trashy pulp horror publisher. It was originally titled Bagging Bigfoot, which gave you a better idea of its rather antic flavor. One of my biggest career regrets is letting the publishers make me change the title. Sigh....

When I saw the "quota exceeded (in reply to RCPT TO command)" I thought that maybe the recipient's mail box was full. I did a Google search on this exact error message. I found a page where someone got this same error message and also originally thought that this meant the recipient's mailbox was full. But upon looking into it, they said that was not the reason for the issue. Unfortunately, they took the discussion offline so I don't know how they resolved this issue.
1) Does anyone know what this error message means
2) Does anyone know how I can resolve this?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

In the Gulf of Mexico, natural gas including methane, ethane, propane and butane that was collected with a containment cap on the sea floor is flared at the surface by the drillship Discoverer Enterprise. The amount of gas being flared represents about 15 percent of the gas emitted into the deep ocean by the Deepwater Horizon spill and trapped there.
This work was done by a team of researchers, led by David Valentine of the University of California, Santa Barbara, and John Kessler of Texas A&M university, that embarked on a research cruise with the mission of determining the fate and impact of hydrocarbon gases that were escaping from the deep-water oil spill. The disaster provided a rare opportunity to study the behavior of methane and other natural gases in deep water. Experiments by the team were conducted as close as 1,500 feet from the epicenter of the active spill. Underwater sampling devices and sensors were used to measure hydrocarbons and oxygen depletion at various depths, and to collect water samples to study the biodegradation of natural gas and the associated blooms of bacteria.
The research was funded by the National Science Foundation (grants OCE 10-42097, OCE 09-61725 and OCE 10-42650) and the Department of Energy. To learn more about this research and the team's findings, see the Santa Barbara Independent news story Deep Hydrocarbon Plumes in Gulf Oil Spill Documented; or the Nature story Oil-spill Bacteria Gobbled Gases First.

Darla's blog picks
1. All the Dirt on Gardening
By Martha Stoodley – "Gardening became an interest in the 1970s when I lived next door to horticulture students. Then, as my work and family schedule allowed, I planted flowers, shrubs and a few tomatoes. It wasn't until retirement that gardening became a passion. I'm making up for lost time, though – gardening like a mad woman as many months of the year as I can."
What blog is about: Gardening hints and tips
Featured post – Books for Gardeners – late winter reading – Spring garden preparation has begun: seed orders are in, pots are cleaned, leaves are raked and the remaining bits of last fall's garden will go to the compost pile.
I tried to have a garden last year and in my head I had envisioned this beautiful garden with all the home-grown vegetables I needed for a year — it was amazing! Well, it did not turn out like that at all. I over-watered some, under-watered some and I found out quickly that having a garden is not easy! I need all the books I can get on gardening. - Darla Lindauer
2. Bright Journeys
By Sheila Bright – "A busybody, eavesdropper, snoop, tattle-tale, lollygagger, conversation hog, big-talker, sweet-talker, dawdler, drifter, etc. When I'm not traveling abroad, I bounce along the backroads of Oklahoma searching for some golden story nuggets as a contributor for Oklahoma Today and This Land Press."
What blog is about - Photos and short commentary about travels
Featured post – Home Tweet Home – "When the tawny bird sang the moon to sleep, the sound stirred the sweetest of dreams."
As a person that has a passport with no stamp yet, I love the personality of each photo and it was like taking a mini trip. The photography is eye-catching and shows a variety of scenes from other areas of the world. I would love to go to Africa one day! To look at me you might think that I am a city girl who needs her air conditioning and make-up kits and clothes, but I would love to experience life with out all the luxuries and help others on my way. – Darla Lindauer
3. A Nest with a View
By Robin Thomas – "A teacher, a seeker, a biologist, a creator, a little tired and wired. You will find me knitting, sewing, reading, taking photos, making lists or cooking."
What blog is about: Family, life and pets
Featured post – Lucille Thomas - "With empty arms and feeling forgotten I was moved to go to the Central Oklahoma Humane Society on a puppy day."
I love seeing a happy ending and Lucille is so cute! I did try to get a dog one time. My daughter who has a form of autism freaked out! If the dog even looked at her, she would scream and claw at me to get away. I think we may be close to trying again though. She likes my sister's dog, but I am a beagle person myself. – Darla Lindauer
4. An unrefined vegan
By Annie Oliverio- "I was in my 30s before I really started to take care of my body. My motivation back then was purely physical: I wanted to keep my weight under control. And so I began running and working out, but I was still missing a vital component to my health: diet. My goal is to share what I've learned and what I'm still learning by offering simple, delicious and nutritious – "unrefined" recipes that nurture body, brain and conscience."
What blog is about: Recipes to nurture body, brain and conscience
Featured post – Not-too-Sweet Pear and Parsley Smoothie – "Pear & Parsley sounds like a big American retailer's idea of a quaint British shop (or should that be shoppe?)"
My mother makes green smoothies for me that are wonderful, it has quite a few things in it, but I know spinach and strawberries are in it. She even gets my kids to drink it when she is watching them by putting it in a cup with a Sippy-cup lid so they can't see that it is green! Maybe this smoothie will be a new one for us as well. Don't plan on adding it to a meal though — it is a meal!– Darla Lindauer
5. AxXiom for Liberty
By Kaye Beach – "I have been a full time freedom activist for three years and am a member of the Board of Directors of the Constitutional Alliance-a coalition of individuals and groups committed to preserving the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and property as pronounced in the Declaration of Independence and protected under the Bill of Rights."
What blog is about: Politics and local news
Featured post – AxXiom for Liberty – "FORT SILL — The small, winged drone quietly soared overhead."
I heard about this briefly on the news and knew there were some protesters on the subject and wanted to really know what it was about. I believe in our right to privacy, but I also know I have never done anything they would be interested in, unless they want to see me go to work every day and chase kids at night and on weekends. I think if they did, they might scrap the whole idea, deeming it too boring or too psychotic! Ha– Darla Lindauer
6. Rebekah Loper, Writer
By Rebekah Loper – "I am a "Jill of all trades" – wife, writer, NaNoWriMo Municipal Liaison (chapter head), cat wrangler, and budding urban farmer all wrapped up in one. I prefer the strange, surreal, weird, and fantastical to everyday normality."
What blog is about: Writings about her life, interests and family
Featured post – Comfortable in My Own Skin – "My mom laid down a hard-and-fast rule: her daughters would not be allowed to wear make-up on a regular basis until they were 15 years old."
The title of this post drew me in. I have always chosen to wear make-up, because I like to do it and I feel naked with out it! I get my coffee and watch the news during the week or a movie on the weekend while I am doing it. It is a moment of relaxation for me. But I like that she has made her choice based on personal facts and not public opinion. I do not remember being influenced by anyone except my sisters growing up. I started wearing make-up at 13.– Darla Lindauer
7.Beth Zimmerman
By Beth Zimmerman – "I'm a blogger, a writer, a weaver of words and teller of tales. I'm a transparent, imperfect, and forgiven, follower of Jesus. I am loving, warm, receptive, non-judgmental and real! I am choosing daily gratefulness in a passionate pursuit of abundant joy! My desire is to grow in trust, to share my faith, and to encourage others towards a joyful and abundant life! I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma with my husband (33 years and counting), the youngest of our 4 children (a 23 y.o. who wants to hurry up and finish school so he can go "into all the world") and a German Shepherd named Lucy."
What blog is about – "I blog about finding joy … even when life hurts."
Featured post - Inspiration – "Choose to see the world through grateful eyes. It will never look the same way again."
I believe happiness is a choice every day and I loved the inspirational words in the post and wanted to share, hopefully it will make you smile. – Darla Lindauer

The delicate skin around your eyes can often give away your age. That's because this area often develops visible signs of aging before the rest of your face. The thin skin around your eyes is more susceptible to fine lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet. Other issues, such as dark under-eye circles and puffiness, plague this area. These problems call for an effective treatment. The Clarisonic Opal was designed specifically for the eye area, reducing signs of aging on this delicate skin. The unique sonic infusion system allows for better penetration of specialized topical serums from Clarisonic. The system delivers active ingredients deep within the layers of the skin, providing a gentle massaging action.
Clarisonic Opal Products give your eye area a makeover. Use the Opal system to effectively apply proven, targeted serums for this part of your face. You will enjoy noticeable results, including smoother, brighter skin around the eyes that is better moisturized. Your skin's elasticity will improve, and you will notice fewer fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes. That irksome puffiness will disappear as well. Clarisonic Opal Products offer an all-over treatment for your eye area. Throw away those anti-aging serums that didn't work. Turn to Clarisonic Opal Products to pamper the delicate skin around the eyes, reduce those visible signs of aging, and reveal radiant, healthy skin. Your brighter eyes will leave you looking younger.
Out of all of the areas of the face, it is probably the eyes that show the signs of aging first. This is because of the exceptionally thin and delicate skin that surrounds the eye area. The fragile tissues make the eyes more susceptible to lines and wrinkles as well as other issues commonly associated with aging. The Clarisonic Opal system allows for exceptional delivery of effective topical active ingredients deep within the skin tissues.
Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System uses sonic technology to apply its complementing skin serum designed to reduce lines and wrinkles as well as puffiness. The system is very gentle and softly massages product onto the eye area, offering outstanding hydration as it smoothes, brightens and firms the entire eye area. It just takes 30 seconds an application and the system can be used safely up to twice day. After just four weeks you'll notice more youthful looking eyes.
Clarisonic Opal Anti-Aging Sea Serum works with the Clarisonic Opal device, delivering effective active ingredients within the top layers of skin tissues. This is a hydrating and anti-aging treatment in one that is gentle yet very effective. The serum comes with two replacement applicator tips for use with the Clarisonic Opal Infusion System.

he's an awesome deer in anyones book!
When it comes to a buck like that "NET" is for fishing. How about gross. That is a huge buck and if he would net 200 than that showed how flawed the scoring system is.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!
he's an awesome deer in anyones book!
Wow, what a great buck. The guy who got that picture has a exciting season in store for himself. Anybody know where I can order up a buck like that for myself? No...I didn't think so! And if you did, you wouldn't be sharing that info.
I got an email the other day saying this buck was in Washoe County, Nevada somewhere, but I've seen on a few other forums that people are saying he is from Central Utah, any speculations on that?

I was told he calls Camp Williams Army base home. There's no hunting allowed.
I want him... lol

I LIKE, only thing better would be seeing that in your bow sight

been noticing myself have stronger feelings of approval/disapproval about buildings etc lately. post buildings etc you like here.
favorite building in philadelphia:
so stately and elegant. dont know why i like it in particular so much, its not really an exceptional piece of architecture, or i guess i'd find more pictures of it. just how stately it is, how the window frames work with the building, the color of the stone and the symmetry. plus the base of the building has a nice sculpted marble look that you cant see here.

Michael Bublé longs to create a Rat Pack-style group with his singer friends Blake Shelton and Robbie Williams.
The "Haven't Met You Yet" hitmaker became friends with the country star after Shelton released a cover of Bublé's song "Home" in 2008, and they have collaborated on several projects since.
The Canadian crooner has also worked with Williams, recording a duet with the British pop star last year, he thinks the three of them would make a good trio.
Bublé tells Australia's Sydney Daily Telegraph that Williams is the "greatest entertainer the world" adding, "I love him. I would love to be in a Rat Pack with Robbie and Blake. Robbie is the man. I would like to work with Mr Williams again, I would love to do a show with him."

I'm mad - damn DVR failed to record the episode. Grrrrr. Guess I'll have to wait until its re-runned or see it when it comes out on dvd.
God, Family and Bowhunting, in that order!
That is too bad that he's leaving Eastmans after what seems a way too short time frame. I have really enjoyed his obsession and insight on hunting mule deer. I also enjoyed his down to earth nature. He will be missed. However, I wish him all the best with his future endeavors and I look forward to reading his new book. With that said, I hope someone like Nate can step into the editor position and keep moving forward the solid Eastman tradition.
It is too bad he is leaving, and I too wish him the best of luck. Really looking forward to the new book and video though. I agree, my vote is for a guy like Nate Simmons to take over as the editor. He is the real deal and gets it done year after year.
It seems Eastmans is so good that it is becoming a launching pad for other personal careers. I know that whoever Eastmans chooses as a successor will be of the same caliber person!

David will be missed and another vote for Nate.
Another vote for Nate Simmons.
