I've already posted some of this material in the other Starship Sections thread, but since this material is different from what I originally envisioned for the Starship Sections I think it warrants a separate thread.
Our Star Wars RPG gaming group has acquired a modular base (Hideouts and Strongholds sourcebook by West End Games, page 77) and I was tasked with generating a map for it. The sourcebook doesn't give much in the way of dimensions, so I made some assumptions. The base is not very large and consists of a octagonal frame which five modules can fit into. Since I was already making 12x12 overlays for the Starship Sections, I went with half that size for each module - 6x6. [Yes, I know it is actually a quarter of the size based on area but I went with half-size based on length.] I then put a 1-square "spacer" between modules to make the octagon 20-squares across. Here is the result:
The "corners" are sloped on the outside, they do not have a full level of clearance for people to walk through. They function more like a crawlspace, so I made them storage and maintenance areas - separate from the modules. I added some grass to show what was not part of the base - feel free to put whatever "outside" terrain is applicable. Also, these are designed to link together (one modular base to the next) - so they can form a little compound with any composition of modules.
The modules are all 6x6 and fit in the blank spaces. The Modular Base is designed to put any modules in any order (although some logically can't be in the middle - like a vehicle bay or airlock module). I'll post more as I get them, but for now I have:
Command module (I usually put this one in the middle):
Crew's barracks:
Crew's Mess:
Here's an "empty" module in case I don't post what you need:
I'm currently working on a medical bay, a couple of cargo/storage modules, an airlock, and a vehicle garage. I'll post them when finished. As always, comments and criticisms are welcome.
Cool stuff. Looks nice!
Neat stuff Kihmbar!

Just as great as the ship tiles!
I have some suggestions. If you line up the exits you could put two of them next to eachother to make a bigger base. You could also make 'frames' for some different shapes (L shaped, straight corridor...)
It would be cool with a big gun, like super arty or an orbital defense or AA gun or something...
I need to save these for my upcoming stormtrooper campagn!
Thanks for the feedback.
The easiest way I can come up with off the top of my head is rendering a 3d model for it. I'm sure there's a free model of a turbo laser out there somewhere...
I got some more ideas if you like
A landing pad (to be put on top of one base module)
A room with a stair or lift so you can put in a second level (or landing pad)
A cool super room that covers the whole module area, could be a breifing room, mess hall, training room or hangar.
If you'll keep pumping them out, I'll keep giving you my ideas!
I'll try to crank them out your ideas as I have time. Stuff for my gaming group has priority, but the GM isn't too demanding right now.
I just finished up the airlock module which was more of a hassle than I thought. I wanted to make it where you could see the "outside" of the airlock as well so I extended the module outside. I also wanted the "outside" to be seen through the viewport. Since .jpgs don't support transparency, the airlock module is a .png file. It comes complete with changing rooms and two environmental/vacuum suits.
For access to the outside, here is a ramp [the base sits about a half-level off the ground].
And for those of you who like mega-bases, here are the connector pieces:
And an example of how they would work:
As always, comments and criticisms are welcome. Feel free to be nitpicky, I can't see everything.

The Buzz
Need-to-know news
"The Buzz" Continued...
Underrated and misunderstood
With the media spotlight on his successor, President George Bush quietly received the first International Medal of PEACE for his fight against HIV/AIDS and malaria. Before a small audience of several hundred, including White House staff and supporters from think tanks and nonprofits at the Saddleback Civil Forum on Global Health in Washington, pastor Rick Warren presented the medal to the president on Dec. 1, World AIDS Day. Since its inception five years ago, The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has treated more than 2.1 million people living with the virus around the world, which exceeded the administration's goal. Prior to the president's HIV/AIDS program, only 50,000 people were receiving antiretroviral treatment for AIDS. "It's the most underrated and misunderstood program of this administration," said Warren, who referred to PEPFAR as a "BHAG" (big, hairy, audacious goal).
Bush foes and friends alike showered praise on the outgoing president for PEPFAR, which promotes HIV/AIDS education and treatments administered through local clinics and faith-based organizations around the world, mainly in Africa. Former President Bill Clinton sent his commendation in a letter, while others did so by video, including President-elect Barack Obama, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, philanthropists Bill and Melinda Gates, and rock star Bono, an outspoken activist in the fight against AIDS. "You are a hero, sir," the leader of the band U2 said.
But the president, in a sit-down conversation with Warren, deflected any credit for the program. "I don't deserve an award," he said. "The people who made this policy work deserve an award."
With expenditures totaling $18.8 billion over the past five years, PEPFAR is the largest program focused on a single health pandemic and has drawn criticism because of its size and the inclusion of faith-based groups. But Obama in his video message reiterated his promise to continue the program. Congress has already passed an additional $48 billion for programs fighting AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. The moral call to fight pandemics in Africa continues despite whatever economic climate the country is in, the president said.
"People get compassion fatigue," said Warren in an interview after the presentation. "Hollywood has moved on. Hollywood is having babies now. We say as the church, 'We're here to stay.' This isn't the flavor of the day."
Thai crisis
Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej fell ill on the eve of his 81st birthday, dashing hopes that he might intervene successfully in a political crisis that has dissolved the coalition government of Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat over allegations of voter fraud. Anti-government protesters at Bangkok's main Suvarnabhumi international airport brought tourism to a standstill, stranding more than 300,000 travelers during a week-long siege.
Despite its own report showing a continuing nuclear buildup in Iran, IAEA director Mohamed ElBaradei issued a limp warning to the atomic rogue Nov. 27. He did, however, turn up the heat on Syria, demanding (again) that Syria grant access to UN atomic inspectors to a site bombed last year by Israel. Inspectors already have found "significant" quantities of manmade uranium at the site, which the United States said in April was a secret nuclear reactor being built with North Korean aid. Syria says it was a military installation and denies the charges.
The best-selling ESV Study Bible, which debuted in October and is already in its third printing, will soon be available on the iPhone, Blackberry, and other popular digital platforms. Crossway Books & Bibles president Lane Dennis said the company hopes by offering a digitized ESV version "to distribute the Bible and essential resources for understanding the Bible as broadly as possible around the world."
Rest in peace
In November 1943 more than 100 U.S. ships bearing 35,000 soldiers, sailors, and Marines descended on the island of Betio, seized it, then moved west across the Tarawa Atoll chain, a strategic location in the Pacific. In the 72-hour offensive, 1,677 Americans died and 541 were declared missing in action. Now, 65 years later, a team of searchers has located the bodies of 139 sailors and Marines. Searchers used GPS and ground-penetrating radar to complete the second of two survey trips to Tarawa last month. They will return to the area once more to search for additional remains and make arrangements for the return and identification of the 139 already located. "Allowing the families of the missing to finally have closure is our foremost goal," said Mark Noah of History Flight, a member of the search coalition. More than 72,500 American fighters are still listed as MIA from World War II.
New day for Anglicans
Orthodox Anglican leaders representing over 100,000 congregants gathered in Wheaton, Ill., Dec. 3 to introduce a draft constitution for a new North American church body that is separate from the U.S. Episcopal Church. The event followed a Jerusalem gathering in June of conservative Anglican leaders representing half of the world's 77 million Anglicans, who called for a new Anglican body in North America as part of a declaration of faith. The step formalizes a growing divide over biblical orthodoxy and the ordination of homosexuals. Martyn Minns, bishop over one of the breakaway groups, the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA), said the constitution is an important part of the "new Anglican province's structural and spiritual foundation." The move to form a new denomination within the worldwide Anglican communion that Minns called "biblically grounded, Christ-centered, mission driven," is likely to prompt more congregations to leave the American and Canadian Episcopal church.
Dare to be one
After federal prosecutor Ken Starr spent 12½ hours in the lion's den known as the U.S. House of Represen-tatives, WORLD selected him its first Daniel of the Year 10 years ago. Starr gave civil testimony and was a model of character as specially appointed independent counsel in sullied times, charged as he was to investigate the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the death of Vince Foster, and the financial dealings of President Bill Clinton and his wife then known as Whitewater.
From then until now-whether humanitarians, persecuted pastors, public servant, brave teenagers, bullied law professor, New York artist, or pregnancy caregiver*-each year's Daniel has displayed God-given strength to stand up to the tyrants and terrorists of the day. Our times are sullied still, and we look to men and women who display fierce dependence on God alone and bravery in the daily battle, as does the 2008 Daniel (See "Broadcast news").
*Previous Daniels are Ken Starr, John Ashcroft, Franklin Graham, Michael Yerko, Columbine survivors, Phillip Johnson, Baroness Caroline Cox, Mako Fujimura, Archbishops Peter Akinola and Henry Orombi, and Wanda Kohn.
Unleashed anger
Violence in the Nigerian city of Jos left at least 400 people dead and forced another 7,000 to flee their homes following the region's Nov. 27 election, which awarded power to the largely Christian-backed People's Democratic Party. Although initial reports attributed the bloodshed to political tensions between Muslims and Christians, other sources are calling it a well-orchestrated attack intended to target Christian pastors, churches, and businesses. "Why were politicians and political party offices not attacked if it were a political conflict?" said Ignatius Kaigama, chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Plateau State. "We strongly feel that it was not political but a premeditated act under the guise of elections." According to a Nigerian pastor who asked not to be identified because of concerns about his safety, the bloodshed stemmed from anger and bitterness dating back to 2001, when similar religious violence in Jos left nearly 1,000 people dead. In the most recent incident, he said, after Muslim militants began "unleashing their anger on the Christians," some Christians retaliated by inflicting heavy damage to Muslim property: "There is much more destruction than in 2001." He also said that many of those killed appear to be Muslims because the authorities-not Christians-opened fire on the militants in order to quell the violence.
Bubble that keeps on bursting
Until a few years ago, many Americans believed that "housing prices always go up." But was it ever really true? Not if you look at prices after adjusting for inflation. While nominal values had been on an upswing since the 1940s, real prices held remarkably steady. That changed when the Fed started bringing interest rates down to historic lows in the early part of this decade, helping to inflate a housing bubble. With the bubble now bursting, analysts predict that prices will have to fall another 15 percent to 25 percent to reach their typical, inflation-adjusted level.
Count me in
A Los Angeles judge ordered Mel Gibson to sit for a deposition after screenwriter Ben Fitzgerald sued the Hollywood star for $10 million he says is due him for writing the screenplay for The Passion. Fitzgerald, son of Flannery O'Conner editor Sally Fitzgerald and poet and linguist Robert Fitzgerald, says he agreed to take a smaller-than--normal fee for his work on the 2004 blockbuster because Gibson persuaded him it was a low-budget "indie" film. That was before the R-rated film depiction of the crucifixion of Christ grossed over $611 million worldwide.
Winning one
The government's retrial of five Muslim leaders of the now defunct Holy Land Foundation has ended in guilty verdicts on all 108 charges of illegally funding the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. A jury needed just eight days to deliver a decision in the complicated case, far less time than the 19 days a jury took last year before declaring a deadlock in the government's first attempt at convictions in the case.
This time around, federal prosecutors streamlined their evidence and presented jurors a more cohesive narrative of how the Texas-based charity operated as a front group for Hamas fundraising. They emphasized the $12 million channeled from Holy Land to Hamas since 1995, when the organization made the U.S. list of official terrorist groups.
The defense argued that Holy Land monies served only non-political Palestinian initiatives like the building and operation of hospitals and schools. Prosecutors did not dispute that claim, but charged that such initiatives amounted to Hamas public-relations tasks, ultimately serving to ingratiate the terrorist group among Palestinians and to aid recruiting.
President George W. Bush shut down the Holy Land Foundation in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The guilty verdicts are the culmination of a 15-year federal investigation into the group and a major victory for the Bush administration strategy of drying up stateside terrorism financing via prosecution.

The May 25 editorial was out of left field and a subtle hit job. It reminds me of a politician sitting on a fence. It is no wonder, the individuals didn't put their names on it. No doubt, Shannon Brock was a driving force in it.
For those of you who don't know, Randy Wise is retiring as the director of Spencer County Parks and Recreation on June 10. He has supported youth sports in our community for years and has given his time and devotion to the kids of Spencer County.
My family, like many others in the community, has grown up with Randy and considers him part of the family. I hope the "powers that be" realize this is a very important job in Spencer County and hire someone as passionate. Youth sports are a very important part of this community.
On behalf of the Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Protection District, I would like to thank the community for their support of the WHAS Crusade for Children. Thanks to your efforts, our community raised $15,000.
Once again, thanks!
Nathan B. Nation, Chief
Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire District
The class of 2011, teachers, staff and administration would like to thank all who contributed to the senior project this year.
We had a total of 169 mentors throughout the year that offered our students opportunities such as: assisting in delivering babies, sitting in on surgeries of animals and humans, gathering evidence from corpses, andassisting with reporting on fashion on Millionaire's Row at the Kentucky Derby.
Over the entire day of exit interviews we had a total of 49 volunteers interviewing seniors.
We are seeing the winding down of a weird spring – cool and wet during the first part, now in the first weeks of June, hot and dryer.
We don't know what the next few weeks hold for us weather-wise, but we will have our summer roadside clean-up the last week of June through the first week of July.
We encourage all non-profit groups in the county to join the effort as we strive to keep our county and roadways presentable.
The recent coverage concerning the funding of the Taylorsville-Spencer County Economic Development Authority has left me very concerned and confused. I am very concerned because I feel we certainly need an entity whose primary purpose is to help attract and retain businesses in Taylorsville and Spencer County. I am confused because of the various reasons given and the methods that are being used to justify ending funding for EDA by the county.
In June, Shelby Energy Cooperative will hold its yearly membership outing. We hope all those in attendance will enjoy the music and "goodies," but don't expect to participate in any voting on directors or the like because in this so-called democratic organization the nomination and selection of directors is reserved for management and board members. (See article 4 of the bylaws.) The nominating committee appointed by the board chairman does not even give the district served or the address of each member of the nominating committee.
The Kentucky Gourd Society would like to say thank you for the support of the Kentucky Gourd Art Show held in May.
Although the KGS Board has many chairpersons who work tireless months before, it takes the support of others outside that board. The Main Street Committee, works to make sure that Main Street is in its best "gourd attire"; it does not go unnoticed by our visitors. They were very impressed by our town.
It's that time of the year when gardeners are outside planting, weeding and doing the hard work to grow the produce and flowers they will enjoy the rest of the year. It takes a lot of nurturing and care to have a successful garden, but any amount of abuse and neglect can bring ruin.
Tom Snider was the son of Dr. T.J. Snider. He went to a "one room, two room" country school. He came to Taylorsville High School for four years.
When he graduated, he told Bob Green, the FFA teacher, "I have learned more in your class than in my 12 years of schooling."
Twenty years passed. The door bell rang.
It was Bob Green, Sidney Wyatt and Hubert Hume to see Tom. They came to bask in Bob Green's "sunlight."
It stayed with him all of his life.

Are drones legal or illegal? Right or wrong?
(Page 2 of 3)
The few times I've thought about the drone issue, I realized I wasn't terribly upset by the idea of drones assassinating terrorists. It all seemed so far away. They're the bad guys; if we don't get them, they'll try to get us.
If I had to pick the targets, that might be troubling. But the president and other military leaders were doing the job for me, so why get upset if, occasionally, an innocent person got killed? Don't civilians die in war all the time?
But the more I learn about our drone force, the more questions arise. It isn't as benign a program as it seems.
For one thing, drones are used domestically as well — not to kill people, of course, but to gather information. That information can be helpful in observing climate change or instrumental in finding marijuana grow houses, or tracking suspected drug terrorists. But clandestine surveillance threatens our civil rights. I spoke to a defense lawyer who said that when the Patriot Act was enacted, the idea was to get information about terrorists, but then the surveillance expanded to businesses and groups who might be financing Al Qaeda. The key word is "might."
Do we really want drones overhead, recording the details of where we go and when and why? Where is the guarantee that the data discovered won't wind up in the wrong hands? Where is the guarantee of privacy in our lives?
According to an NBC report, the administration makes a legal justification for the extrajudicial killings of Americans outside the U.S. In short, the administration claims it is "a lawful act of national defense" to kill Americans who pose "an imminent threat of a violent attack against the United States." Of course, the killing of foreign terrorists is considered completely justified.
But some legal experts, military scholars included, suggest that the administration's analysis is legally flawed. Some civil rights groups compare the argument to the memo written by the George W. Bush administration that provided the legal justification for torture.

Trucking news: ACT reports trailer net orders up nearly 60 percent
June 28, 2010
The market for Class 8 vehicle equipment continues to resonate with good news for orders and production. The most recent news comes from ACT Research Co., a provider of data and analysis for trucks and other commercial vehicles, whom reported that commercial trailer net orders in May were up 59 percent year-over-year.
On a year-to-date basis, net orders for trailers are up 69 percent, said ACT, coupled with order cancellations running low as truck fleets continue to see increased demand for services.
"All signs are indicating that freight growth is rapidly absorbing excess truck capacity," said Kenny Vieth, senior analyst and partner with ACT Research, in a statement.
Last week, ACT reported that net orders for heavy-duty Class 8 commercial vehicles were up 84 percent in May year-over-year.
In its "State of the Industry: Classes 5-8 Vehicles," ACT reported 13,231 net orders of Class 8 vehicles. They said that more than half of the orders are scheduled for delivery in the third quarter, which is a strong sign that truck fleets are looking to get new units on the road before the peak fall shipping season.
This report follows a recent ACT forecast which cited a strengthening North American economy and improving supply/demand balance of freight hauling truck capacity, serving as the catalysts for a continuing rebound of orders and production of commercial vehicles is underway.
In its ACT North American Commercial Vehicle Outlook that its 2010 forecast for Class 8 vehicle production was increased by 4,500 units. This brings to total projection to 146,000 units, according to Vieth. Despite the increase, Vieth told LM in a recent interview that a typical unit replacement figure is about 200,000.
"The good news is the forecast is going up and also that even though the forecast is going up it is still well below replacement levels for equipment so capacity continues to bleed out of the market, with incremental improvement in demand," said Vieth.

Ford F100 Trucks - 25th Annual F-100 Western NationalsWritten by on December 1, 2007 Hosted By Pickups Limited Orange County
Pickups Limited is an F-100 club that was started here in Orange County, California, in '68 by Lee Hill, who posted an ad in a local paper looking for others interested in '53-56 Ford F-100 trucks, and the rest is history! For 25 of the last 39 years, Pickups Limited has hosted the F-100 Western Nationals truck show, which has become the largest all-Ford truck show in the Western United States.
This year, prior to the big show, Pickups Limited organized a beach cruise that led down to where else but Surf City, USA.
F-100s lined beachside parking in Huntington Beach much of the day, basking in the summer sun before heading out to John Force's Race Station for an exciting tour of his facilities. Unfortunately, we were unable to attend Friday's activities, but we heard rave reviews of the day from more than a few participants on Saturday. We should have the Bumpside Build-Off '68 F-100 there next year!
The '07 show was held at Featherly Park in Anaheim, California, which has a nice campground, RV parking, a central location, and, best of all, a large canopy of trees that provided plenty of shade for the almost 200 Ford trucks in attendance. A good number of the entries were from surrounding states, but Steve and Autumn Neiheisel won the Long Distance Award by driving their '53 panel all the way from Ohio. Over 25 awards were given out, plus more than $7,000 worth of prizes from all the sponsors raffled off, including a four-post lift from Garage Equipment Supply-that we didn't win-to make the day that much more exciting.
In celebration of the F-100 Western Nationals' 25th anniversary, Pickups Limited invited Pat Ford out from North Carolina to sign autographs, shake hands, and share stories. In case you don't know who Pat is, he puts on the F-100 Supernationals in Tennessee, which is proud to hold the title of world's largest F-100 event. Pat's a legend, and with that last name of his he'd have to be! Pat's son Squire also made the trip, and both were made honorary members of Pickups Limited for their hard work in the world of F-100s. Jack Reis was also honored for his involvement since the early days of the aftermarket for pioneering and providing products for classic truckers. It's hard to tell where we'd be today in the hobby without people like Jack who dedicated their lives to furthering it.
Pickups Limited has another two-day event planed for '08, with the show taking place June 21. For info on upcoming as well as past events and more, go to www.f100westernnationals.com or www.pickupslimited.com for all the details. We'll see you there next summer!

Mr. Pat Ford himself was on hand to sign autographs, and if you were lucky, you got a signed pellon from the Supernationals. Longtime trucker and Pickups Limited Orange County member Steve Stillwell is shown sneaking up on Pat from behind to offer assistance with the anxious crowd.Effie fans had plenty to feast their eyes on at the show, including Richard Flamminio's red '56 that looked pretty happy next to David and Martha Roberts' white TCI framed and blown Chevy-powered big-window.Joseph DeRego brought his ultra clean and understated '64 F-100 out from the Phoenix area. The truck sports a Flareside bed, 223ci six-cylinder, BorgWarner four-speed, blacker-than-black PPG paint, and 15-inch Hurst slicks.This green '53 belongs to Jerry Wassenaar of Vista, CA. It caught our eye with its louvered hood, traditional pinstriping, as-cast American Racing Salt Flat Special wheels, and scavenger pipes.Don Schumacher from Long Beach, CA, might own one of the classiest '35 Ford trucks out there. It almost looks like the truck was built to the highest hot rod standards back in '48 and has been frozen in time since. The full-fendered prewar pickup features a built and detailed flathead with 2x2s and Navarro aluminum heads and wears 16-inch bias-ply tires on Kelsey-Hayes bent-spoke wheelsSunshine rained down on Chuck Haubrick's Candy Apple Red '56 and set it aglow. Pro Design Hot Rods in Santa Ana, CA, did all the fab work on Chuck's truck, which included installing an IFS, 12-bolt rearend, and a 425hp RamJet/700-R4 drivetrain. Stay tuned for a full feature on this one.It was hard not to notice the raffle tents stuffed with all manner of prizes, and I bought five tickets for the Garage Equipment Supply four-post lift, but alas, my luck ran out. Besides, I don't think my neighbors or landlord would appreciate having it in my front yard.
Another mid-'60s F-100 that stopped us was ex-mini trucker John Dioli's '65 Ford. He graduated into full-size pickups years ago and couldn't be happier! John's now a member of Pickups Limited's San Diego chapter, and it looks like he figured out how to nail the stance on his low F-100.It took a bit of crowd control to get a clear shot of Bob Wells' orange '56 big-window. And as if it wasn't enough for Bob to have a super clean truck in the first place, he had to go ahead and stuff an ultra-rare BOSS 429 Cammer motor topped with 2x4s between the fenders!One of the most unusual yet fun trucks at the show was Laurie Gates' '35 Ford 1-ton panel truck. It seemed as if the almost larger-than-life enclosed hauler was in its all-original commercial state and may still be used for the refreshing business advertised on each side.Jerami (we lost your last name!) brought out a Golden Nugget '56 big-window customized back in the very early '60s and remaining in that state today; thankfully, it was never "updated" like so many customs. It may not be your cup of tea, but all the body mods, gold metalflake paint, '59 390 Eldorado motor, Buick wire wheels,......and the full Eddie Martinez interior that includes a TV and a 45-rpm record player all come together to create a piece of history. Stay tuned for a full feature.Unfortunately, there wasn't a window sticker in this clean '76 F-100, but that didn't keep us from wondering how nice the deep black Dentside would look in our garage.Street Chopper Editor Courtney Halowell drove his "dollar-a-dent" '59 F-100 out to the show, but he was kicking the tires of this fairly straight '57 as soon as the seller parked it. Courtney's haggling had the owner under the three grand mark at one point...It's a good thing the trucks were parked on the grass, because we're sure more than a few people fell over at the sight of Nick Olaerts' custom '50 Mercury "crew cab." He drives it all over Southern California and makes it a point to go to all the good shows, like the Western Nats.

Hey there, a brand new member among hundreds of others, hoping to have fun working around maps and such.
Just got CC3, and my ideas and style are unusual and off the beaten path. I'm hoping to work on Wild West and dinosaur type work for various story ideas I'm working on already. Clearly not standard stuff, but that's alright.
Hope I can contribute to this cool community soon!

Heya. Following tutorials can be tough because sometimes the process is clear to the author so she leaves out something that's obvious to her, but that might not be to the reader (especially if they have less experience with the program being used). I've followed Ascension's tutorial a few times with success (and still use some of his techniques) but, good as it is, I had to go back and repeat a few steps because they didn't turn out quite like the accompanying screenshots - usually these problems stemmed from me not being as familiar with PS as I needed to be, so I had to play around until I figured it out.
It sounds as if you're following the tutorial pretty well but may be having some troubles with PS. I think that we (me or someone else, maybe Ascension himself) can probably help you with your problem. I think we need some more information, however. Can you post a before/after screenshot of your map at the step you're having trouble with? Would probably help if you could show the settings you're using on the tool as well.
By blue glow, I assume that you're talking about the glow around the land layer? Let's just stick with that step and get it figured out?

On today's programme we spoke to Mike Fitzgerald of the ESB about the fact that so many homes were without power. Sandro called in to say that the ESB were doing a great job getting people back to normal but he storms had wreaked havoc.
Emily spoke about repossession. Her car was taken back and the council has bought the family home and they now pay rent. She was referring to Gillian who we spoke to on yesterday's programme and says the situation does improve and thengs get better. The most important thing is not to feel ashamed.
Anne told us about her daughter who collapsed in a shopping centre and only one person, eventually, came to help the 21 year old. Eddie told us about a study he had read about that said people are more likely to help when there are few people around.
Patricia told us about a scam when someone claimed she had tipped their car and they wanted money. Instead she took a photo of them and they soon disappeared. Mairead told us of another incident in a car park where someone scratched her car and she asked them to give some money to Downs Syndrome. She met them later and they gave her the receipt showing they had done it.
Kathleen told us about her son who, when he was 10, drove her brand new car around a car park.

About this font family
In 1937, Morris Fuller Benton designed Empire, titling capitals that became the headline style for Vogue.
In 1989, David Berlow revived it for Publish magazine, adding an italic and a lowercase, both unavailable in the original. He revisited Empire in 1994 with Kelly Ehrgott Milligan, adding two heavier weights, small caps, and an elegant set of Art Deco-flavored oldstyle figures, ultimately expanding it to a seven-part series.
Among other uses, Empire is recommended for Magazine use.

May 29, 2016
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The note at the top of a restaurant receipt reads simply, "I give God 10%, why do you get 18?"
The scribbled comment left at a St. Louis Applebee's set off viral mayhem. The waitress who posted it online was fired, and the customer who wrote it vilified.
The customer who described herself on the receipt as a pastor shared appetizers with eight or nine friends on Jan. 25. The group was large enough that an automatic 18 percent tip was added to the bill.
The customer paid the tip, but the snarky note prompted another waitress to post a photo of the receipt on the website Reddit. She was fired.
Applebee's President Mike Archer said Friday that customers deserve privacy and the note violated the company's social media policy.

Product Technologies:
- Lifetime warranty: As an American company, American Standard showers are built tough. Their products live longer in one place than most people do. Drip-free ceramic disc valves, high-grade lead-free brass alloys, and turbine shower heads cables name just a few of the features which make American Standard showers the industry's longest lasting. To back this up, all American Standard showers are covered under a lifetime warranty.
- Indestructible Finishes: Through employing only the best finishing practices, such as physical vapor deposition, American Standard shower finishes are some of the strongest in the industry. When the finish is actually incorporated into the brass, rather than a coating on the outside, the result is a flawless appearance that eliminates tarnishing, pitting, and peeling while hiding scratches. For this reason, American Standard shower finishes are fully covered under the lifetime warranty.
- TRIMendous Universal Valve Bodies: Should you ever change your mind about the style of your bathroom and wish to change out the fixtures, this shower trim package can easily be swapped out for any other American Standard shower trim without having to break into the wall and replace the valve.

NH State Archives Treaty Exhibit M-F - August 21, 2012
A satellite version of "An Uncommon Commitment to Peace: Portsmouth Peace Treaty" may be viewed at the NH State Archives, 71 So. Fruit Street in Concord. Free. M-F 8:30 am - 3:30 pm
The Portsmouth Peace Treaty Forums are the first formal meetings between Japanese, Russian and American scholars and diplomats in Portsmouth, NH, since the negotiation of the Treaty of Portsmouth Treaty in 1905. The Treaty is considered one of the most powerful symbols of peace in the Northern Pacific region and the most significant, shared peace history for Japan, Russia, and the United States.
The Forums are sponsored by the Japan-America Society of New Hampshire, together with the Russia Society of New Hampshire, to explore, through Japanese, Russian and American perspectives, the history of the Treaty of Portsmouth and its relevance to current issues involving the Northern Pacific region. The Forums provide modern scholarship on international problems in the "spirit of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty" and study the Treaty as an example of multi-track or two-track diplomacy.
The Portsmouth Peace Treaty provides an example to the world of the enlightened foreign policy for peace by Japan, Russia, and the United States. The Treaty also exemplifies the ability of local citizens to mediate informally international disputes. As hosts for thirty days in August 1905, the State of New Hampshire, the people of Portsmouth and the United States Navy fostered goodwill between Russian and Japanese Delegates during the critical peace negotiations that ended the Russo-Japanese War, then the largest war being fought in the world. In 1905 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, an uncommon commitment to peace became a common virtue. The Portsmouth Peace Treaty Forums commemorate and continue that tradition.

PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
Tampa, Florida - Just when you thought the drama was over in the MJ versus Bubba trial, get ready for round two.
Monday, the latest bombshell in the saga involves an angry judge and a possible new trial.
Judge James Arnold held a private, closed-door meeting with the attorneys in the case and reporters. Cameras were not allowed inside his chambers, but Judge Arnold announced that he now wants a full investigation into any possible misconduct by the lawyers in this case.
Until he gets the finding from this investigation, he will not make any rulings on a mistrial.
The judge wants to know exactly what happened that fateful, and now-infamous night where MJ's attorney, Phil Campbell, was arrested for DUI after drinking at hot-spot Malio's with a pretty legal assistant named Melissa Personius.
Personius works at the same law firm representing Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.
Was it a honeypot scheme? Was Phil Campbel set up? Attorneys for MJ made a motion for mistrial, accusing Bubba's team of setting up Campbell that night.
Bubba and his team have long since denied any invovement, calling the accusations preposterous.
Judge Campbell will not rule on a mistrial, he says, until he receives the full results of the investigation. In addition, he will have to make a ruling on MJ's legal fees and whether or not Bubba must foot the bill.
Judge Arnold told reporters and attorneys today, "In my 40 years of practicing law and my 29 years on the bench, I have never seen allegations of misconduct like this."
Then, there's the issue of Campbell's missing legal briefcase, left in Melissa Personius' car, sources say, as he was driving her home and was pulled over by Tampa Police. They suspected he was driving drunk, and he was subsequently arrested.
The question remains - Did anyone get a look inside that briefcase? Was it compromised in any way?
As part of the investigation, Judge Arnold says it is possible that both Melissa Personius and attorney Stephen Diaco will be deposed, and their phone records seized from that night. In addition, there's the possibility that Phil Campbell could also be deposed. The judge wants to know if anyone in Bubba's law circles had access to Campbell's briefcase.
Judge Arnold made it clear Monday in his closed-door meeting that he wants to know if someone had access to the briefcase and if so, if that person or persons rifled through any legal secrets inside and to affect the outcome of the trial.
Bubba's attorney, Greg Hearing, told 10 News, "The important thing was the judge found unequivocally this didn't affect the jury, it didn't affect the outcome. He's got to be the referee to make sure people played by the rules in court."
Greg Hearing and Jay Diaco have not been implicated in any misconduct allegations.
Hearing also said, "I understand [the judge] wants to know exactly what happened and he has every right to find out."
As for MJ's attorneys, they didn't say much as they left court. Jonathan Ellis told 10 News, "We are reviewing what we need to review."
At this point, the investigation is on and active.
The judge said that if he found any wrongdoing or if Phil Campbell's briefcase was compromised, there could be a new trial in this case.

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor Patients at Perkins County Health Services will now be able to have their bladder volume measured with a bladder scanner–a portable ultrasound instrument. The new bladder scanner provides a quick, painless, reliable, non-invasive alternative to bladder catheterization, explained PCHS Foundation Administrator Jody Snogren, who was instrumental in granting $10,000 from the foundation toward purchasing the scanner at a cost of $11,450. "Extensive research was done by Director of Nursing Dana McArtor and Dr. Clifford Colglazier prior to purchasing the model that best suited the needs of the facility," said Snogren. Bladder scanners help medical providers diagnose, manage and treat urinary dysfunction. Avoiding catheterization reduces rates of urinary tract infections, improves patient care, eliminates unnecessary trauma to patients, and helps preserve their dignity. Use of the bladder scanner has also proven to be cost effective by saving staff and patient time, said Snogren.

Gafsa : Michelin's recommendations
Gafsa extends across the foot of indented mountains rising to a height of 1 100m. The discovery of phosphate in the 19C had little impact on its fortunes as it remains one of Tunisia's poorest towns. Its wide, modern boulevards enclose the modest medina, whose narrow streets slope down towards the kasbah and vast palm grove. It probably stands on the site of the Numidian settlement Capsa, which was captured by the Romans. The impressive pools are the only surviving vestiges from this period.

August 23, 2011
Since the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) first announced a new weekly cargo service connecting Boston with Halifax, Nova Scotia last June, shippers have been keen on learning more about the "New England-Halifax Shuttle."
In an exclusive interview with LM, port officials said it has exceeded their expectations.
"Working with a cross-border mega-port like Halifax has been very interesting," said Mike Leone, Massport's Executive Port director. "We compliment one another in a number of ways, and we are both attracting new business."
According to Leone, a regional marketing strategy may also be put into place before too long, as well.
"It's something ports in the Puget Sound and San Francisco Bay Area have been trying," he said. "It certainly will be top of mind when the American Association of Port Authorities meets for their annual conference next month."
While still regarded as a "niche" ocean cargo gateway, the Port of Boston is a vital economic engine for New England, and container activity at Conley Terminal is likely to grow as an increasing number of larger ships head toward East Coast ports through the Suez Canal and from the Panama Canal once its expansion is complete.
To keep pace with this future demand Massport is investing millions in the container terminal. Over the last several years more than $70 million was spent to upgrade and expand the yard configuration. New machinery was added, and Massport purchased an adjacent 30-acre parcel of land for future container operations. Recently, an enhanced computerized terminal operating system was implemented, and plans are also underway for a dedicated truck route and terminal buffer.
"The New England-Halifax Shuttle is great news for Boston and provides New England shippers with a vital connection to Eastern Canada's main cargo transfer hub," said Leone. "The new service also demonstrates that the $70 million Massport has invested in terminal infrastructure over the last few years has dramatically improved our efficiency and competiveness."

Lindsay Davenport and hubby Jon Leach, who are expecting their second child, have put two of their multi-million dollar California homes up for sale.
The first one is located in the Emerald Bay section of Laguna Beach and is listed at $6,395,000 with the following description:
Revel in chic California Riviera style and impressive ocean views from this very private Emerald Bay residence. An abundance of space - a luxury within Emerald Bay - is found here, amid 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths and an open, flowing floor plan…Each room in this tastefully appointed home is finished with luxe materials, including artisan stone and tile, custom paint finishes, plank hardwood flooring, plantation shutters. Finished garaging for 3 cars plus golf cart and world-class Emerald Bay amenities.
The second home is located on Solimar Beach in Ventura and is listed at $5,500,000 with the following description:
Beach front property located on a wide lot with 60ft of ocean frontage. Extensively remodeled, this Cape Cod style property has sweeping ocean and coastline views. 4 surf spots and access to sandy beach, this is an exclusive surfer's paradise. Outdoor patio with BBQ area and gas fireplace.Amazing views and fantastic locations on both. I wonder if they're downsizing because of the tough economic times or going for one really huge home with the new addition on the way?
In any case, I'll be staring at these photos all day instead of watching MORE snow falling here in NYC.

Need For Speed (2014)
Need For Speed SynopsisDreamWorks Pictures Need for Speed marks an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960s and 70s, when the authenticity of the world brought a new level of intensity to the action on-screen. Tapping into what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing, the story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country journey for our heroes one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. Based on the most successful racing video game franchise ever with over 140 million copies sold, Need for Speed captures the freedom and excitement of the game in a real-world setting, while bringing to life the passion for the road that has made our love of cars so timeless.
The film centers around Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul), a blue-collar mechanic who races muscle cars on the side in an unsanctioned street-racing circuit. Struggling to keep his family-owned garage afloat, he reluctantly partners with the wealthy and arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). But just as a major sale to car broker Julia Maddon (Imogen Poots) looks like it will save Tobey's shop, a disastrous race allows Dino to frame Tobey for a crime he didnt commit, and sending Tobey to prison while Dino expands his business out West.
Two years later, Tobey is released and set on revenge but he knows his only chance to take down his rival Dino is to defeat him in the high-stakes race known as De Leon the Super Bowl of underground racing. However to get there in time, Tobey will have to run a high-octane, action-packed gauntlet that includes dodging pursuing cops coast-to-coast as well as contending with a dangerous bounty Dino has put out on his car. With the help of his loyal crew and the surprisingly resourceful Julia, Tobey defies odds at every turn and proves that even in the flashy world of exotic supercars, the underdog can still finish first.

For all the rhetoric about the United States' right to freedom of the press, the best reporting on the governmental secrets revealed by WikiLeaks, and the deeper issues they raise, has been done by media outlets in other nations. And the best and most in-depth interview with Julian Assange has been done by a British journalist for Al Jazeera, the Arab satellite news channel.
David Frost, who famously interviewed President Nixon a few years after his resignation following the Watergate scandal, now has a program on Al Jazeera, entitled Frost Over the World.
Anyone who knows me well can tell you that I'm a total Internet junkie. I spend a lot of my free time online, browsing various sites like Youtube, chatting in forums with friends and otherwise killing time. As of late, though, one particular subject seems to have pushed itself into the forefront of internet denizens everywhere. That is, SOPA, or the Stop Online Piracy Act, a censorship bill which was proposed by the US House of Representatives on Oct. 26, 2011. It's created quite a buzz online, and with all the people talking about it and what it supposedly proposes, it's hard to get one's facts straight. Friends of mine claim that the government's trying to censor the internet, block access to certain sites - that SOPA will cripple the World Wide Web as we know it.
The U.S. stock exchanges have opened strongly this morning, following gains in Asia and Europe earlier today. The Bush Administration's ever-evolving bail-out plans are, as they say in the bidness world, fluid.
Barack Obama has opened a 10-point national lead on John McCain, according to The Washington Post. Some pundits think the race is even more lopsided in Obama's favor but that the mainstream media — either to gin up excitement over a "close" race or to not look like they're "liberal" and "in the tank" for Obama — are portraying the race as closer than it really is. We all know Obama is going to win, which will make these final few weeks of a long, negative campaign almost unbearable.
Speaking of unbearable, how about those Bengals?
I've been getting good feedback (as always) to our annual publication of the Project Censored report on stories the mainstream media missed in the past year. It's a good reminder that Americans aren't as informed as we should be, particularly on international issues, and another reason to be concerned as the the nation's major newspapers continue to struggle with economic pressure.
Enjoy your Monday and the beautiful fall weather.
With donations from filmmaker Michael Moore and others, WikiLeaks provocateur Julian Assange made bail today and was released from a British prison, awaiting extradition to Sweden on sex charges.
A judge had set Assange's bail at 240,000 pounds, which equals about $380,521. Moore donated $20,000, which equals about 12,633 pounds.
In the latest volley in the escalating cyberwar involving attacks on WikiLeaks and its founder, anonymous hackers have blocked access and disrupted service to Web sites for MasterCard, the Swedish prosecutor's office and the attorney representing two women accusing Assange of crimes

everytime i install or update zimbra, i have zu change the german translation.
a user named "Rissoto" said everthing worth knowing about this issue back in 2006:
"Also, I hope RE: will never be translated to AW: in the german localization. This is a no-go. AW: has been introduced by Microsoft Outlook by *mistake*. Someone thought it would mean RE as in REply even though it means RE as in REs (latin). So there is nothing to translate. I hope this will be respected in the german translation of Zimbra. BTW, AW: breaks RFC compatibility!"
please correct this as soon as possible. thanks!

APHIS-International Programs Action Programs Staff maintains sterile fly breeding facilities for both Mexfly and Medfly where flies are irradiated (made sterile) and then released to breed with native fly populations, effectively reducing the flies' populations. The program is cooperatively funded with countries who also desire fly control and allows an effective barrier to reduce the threat of re-introduction of these harmful species to the United States through agricultural trade.
The Mexican Fruitfly Anastrepha ludens or "Mexfly" is a fly species native to Mexico and is of quarantine importance to the Caribbean. Newly hatched larvae eat and burrow into the pulp of fruits, taking on the color of their food so that when they are small they are easily overlooked. Many maggots may be found in a single fruit. Mexfly is rare in Florida but commonly found in Texas and California.
The Mediterranean Fruit Fly Ceratitis capitata or Medfly is another form of fruitfly also capable of causing extensive damage to a wide range of fruit crops. It is native to the Mediterranean area but has spread invasively to many parts of the world including Australasia and North and South America. Medfly is of particular concern to fruit-growing regions including the State of California as it can cause significant negative economic impact due to fruit loss and the fly's quick invasive capability.

Olympian Village, MO (KSDK) - A three vehicle collision, caused by a driver who made a left turn in front of oncoming traffic, sends four people to the hospital, including the driver investigators say was making the turn and was intoxicated when the crash took place.
The crash occurred Thursday in Jefferson County on Highway 67 at Meyer Road where they say 35 year old Mark LaPlant of Festus was southbound on Hwy-67 and tried to make a left turn onto Meyer Road.
That's where LaPlant's car was struck by an oncoming northbound pick-up truck driven by an Ironton man who could not stop in time and collided with LaPlant's car.
The impact sent the pick-up sideways where it was struck by a second northbound car travelling alongside Highway 67 near Olympian Village.
The driver of the pick-up, 51 year old Dennis Elders and his 48 year old wife Sue both suffered moderate injuries in the crash. The other northbound driver, Christopher Pratte, 31 of Bonne Terre was also transported to an area hospital.
Missouri Highway Patrol troopers cited LaPlant for drunk driving and vehicular assault.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is sunlight reflecting off my window glass?
Windows are reflective. When sunlight hits a surface, such as window glass, it sometimes reflects onto another object. The amount of sunlight reflected by window glass is increased when it has a low-emissivity (low-e) coating, which is purposely designed as an energy saving device to decrease the amount of sunlight entering a home. The reflection of sunlight off low-e window glass indicates the glass is "doing its job."
For more information, see MIWD's Information Statement on Solar Energy Reflection.
Is a WOCD (Window Operating Control Device) available on the MI EnergyCore windows?
Yes. The WOCD is available as a factory installed option on the double hung window. On the XO slider and single hung the WOCD is externally mounted and is installed in the field.
I have received my measuring form, what do I need to do now? How will I know if I measured correctly?
If you have questions or concerns on measuring, please go to our video library on the website. You will find videos that will assist you with measuring. If you have a form, please complete it in its entirety (i.e. color, grids, quantity, etc.) so that we can ensure correct ordering of the product. The forms also include measuring instructions and all orders are checked for accuracy.
How much can I save by switching out my old windows with new energy efficient windows?
The answer will vary upon several factors, including the characteristics of your old and new windows, house size, geographic location, and personal use. ENERGY STAR® has calculated some estimates for replacing single-pane or double-pane clear glass windows with ENERGY STAR qualified windows. Ask your builder or distributor for information on MIWD windows bearing the ENERGY STAR label."

Review: 'God of Carnage' examines human nature
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me," goes the classic children's rhyme. But The Charleston Stage Company's production of "God of Carnage," reminds us that people often underestimate the power of words. One needs only to turn on the news or pick up the newspaper to witness numerous accounts of everyday human encounters escalating -- often to the point of violence -- over a handful of carelessly delivered words. "God of Carnage" illustrates how a seemingly innocent situation can devolve into chaos within the span of a few hours. The play's storyline, set in modern-day Brooklyn, involves two pairs of parents who meet to discuss how to handle a situation after one couple's child hurts the other's while playing at the park. Polite, civil conversation unravels, and allegiances are formed and then broken between each of the four adults as time wears on. The single-set, one-act play features a modest cast of four: Greg Harpold and Bethany Cline as Michael and Veronica Novak; and Rob Boone and Kim Javins as Alan and Annette Raleigh. The adults slide from rational to hysterical as the discussion about their children deteriorates into finger-pointing and shouting matches over minor annoyances that have nothing to do with the kids. A constantly ringing phone, a bottle of rum and a missing hamster figure prominently in the offbeat storyline as well. The conflict raises an existential question: Can a civilized culture escape its savage roots? "I believe in a God of Carnage," Alan professes in the midst of the chaos. The ratcheting tension is at times enough to make the audience squirm, but somber moments are balanced by a liberal dose of laughter in this black comedy, which was translated from the French play, "Le Dieu du Carnage," by Yasmina Reza. A film adaptation, titled, "Carnage," was also released in 2011, and directed by Roman Polanski. The production is brief, clocking in at less than 90 minutes. Attendees should be aware there is adult language. "God of Carnage" continues at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 18 through 19 and Jan. 24 through 26 at the West Virginia State University Capitol Center Theatre. Admission is $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. Tickets may be purchased at the door or by calling 304-343-5272. Reach Mackenzie Mays at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-4814.

Hey guys - 31 year old bowhunter from Utah here. This is my FIRST season I will ever be hunting outside of Utah and I am super excited.
I drew the 2nd season 16a archery elk tag.
I have had so many emotions the last several days. Excitement, anxiety, anticipation, worry, lol.
It is about a 12 hour drive for me to get down to the unit. I have NEVER been there before.
Tomorrow I am going to our local map supply store to get every map possible. My wife is mad because I have probably been on Google Earth for 20 hours the last 4 days.
I am looking for some help from someone who is willing. I am not a trophy hunter who is going for a 380" bull or broke. My goal is a 330" bull, I would shoot that on day one if I can get to one. I know that is not a given.
I have a few questions for any of you who can help....
What is a better strategy there in general during the middle of september, sitting water or locating with calls and stalking in? (I am more of a mobile hunter usually)
What are some of the mistakes you have made in this unit in the past that you could help me avoid?
If anyone has any knowledge of specific canyons/drainages that I can start scouting I would REALLY appreciate it...
PM me if you prefer.
I can help with Utah Limited Entry deer and elk info. I have very familiar with much of utah and have extensive knowledge of 3 or 4 LE units here. I am MORE than willing to help.
I am going to head down to the unit in 3 weekends for an early season scouting trip, mostly just to get a feel for the lay of the land.
Thanks in advance guys! I am treating this as a once in a lifetime tag and am going to make the most of it...
Earl aka UtahMountainMan
