As many of you know, I planned for my pregnancy and birth for over a year before I conceived! I had known for a very long time that I wanted an unmedicated birth, cared for by midwives, in a birthing center or at home. The reasons were many, but NOT ONE of those reasons was to "prove how strong I am". I actually wanted to experience the sensations of labor, not because I wanted to be a martyr, but because I wanted to feel my body work at its utmost potential...the pinnacle of living by bearing LIFE! How cool is that? Was I nervous--yes! But I didn't feel fear at all.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in how things turned out, however. During labor, my LO's heart rate repeatedly fell into 60 bpm range. My midwife and doula worked with me for hours, encouraging me, moving me into different positions, all the while protecting my baby's health, and the sanctity of the birthing experience. When it became clear that things were not safe for the baby (meconium, prolonged decels, and a cervix stuck at 3 cm for hours and becoming morbidly swollen), my MW gently suggested an epidural to allow me to lie down and prop my pelvis up to reduce the cervical swelling. It was such a difficult decision, but I decided to accept the epidural to save me from having a possible c-section. And sure enough, within 15 minutes of lying down (after the epi), the cervical swelling disappeared and I opened to 5 cm! Unfortunately, things went downhill further, and an emergency c-section was necessitated because of a prolapsed cord, which was likely causing all of the problems in the first place. I never felt frightened at the time (I grieved later, but I'm doing better now), and I don't regret making the choice to accept an epidural. For my next birth: I am preparing for an unmedicated VBAC, hopefully at home, but I will accept whatever path I need to take to bring my baby safely into the world.
I had negative "opinions" about mothers receiving epidurals before I gave birth, but I don't anymore. I respect every woman's decision, and especially if an epidural can help to avoid a c-section, I say go for it!

Blood Samples Made Easier on Kids
Peggy Sullivan, RN, MN, manager of the North and South Whidbey Community Clinics, with new blood analyzer.
Donors who support the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation often direct their gifts to a specific department, program or project at the Hospital. This generosity is almost always in appreciation for the kindness and professionalism of Hospital staff. At the request of the nursing staffs at the North and South Whidbey Community Clinics, some of those dedicated gifts were used to purchase a portable, state-of-the-art HemoCue blood analyzer for each clinic.
The new analyzers provide caregivers with the level of hemoglobin in a patient's blood. Hemoglobin levels are most often needed for infants, children and for sports physicals. A HemoCue analyzer obtains a blood sample with a finger stick, rather than a blood draw. Sparing young patients the ordeal of a needle draw was a priority for nurses at the clinics. "It can be a scary thing for a child!" Whitney Christiansen, a South Whidbey staff nurse, wrote the Foundation in a note. "The new machines are portable, allowing us to take it right into the exam room. I've found that it's a great distraction to the kids because they are curious to see what this machine is all about, and will be engrossed in that versus focused on what I am doing to their finger!! Thank you for this generous and valuable piece of equipment."

I was going to mock those girls. Then I thought to myself, "What would *I* do if that was Rafa?" I answered, "I would be rubbing them all over his body." So I won't cast cantelop...I mean stones.
Maybe Don Juan shops in your mall, Richie? Maybe he's thinking about you and a bottle of oil, and nipple clamps, in that pic.

- more in dining/

2170 Broadway, 212-724-9700, Upper West Side, Manhattan
RedFarm is a blockbuster, a sequel that's even better than the original, thanks to the able team of dim sum master chef Joe Ng and the hospitable Ed Schoenfeld. The West Village branch of this eatery is still drawing crowds, but the new Upper West Side location—in the old Fatty Crab space—is playing to a bigger audience with a full-size bar and 79 seats, almost double the size. No reservations for parties under eight are accepted, and people start besieging it as early as 4:45pm to avoid a wait. You'll see why once you taste the incredible beef fried rice, succulent duck on skewers with grilled lychee nut and crisp lotus root, pork and crab soup dumplings and grilled shrimp with watercress sauce. Pale wood beams and red-checked upholstery give it a cheerful, urban farm feel. Friendly, swift service keeps tables turning, but if you'd like a more leisurely experience hit it at lunch.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke will lead clean energy business development missions to China and Indonesia, May 15-25, 2010. The missions will promote exports of leading U.S. technologies related to clean energy, energy efficiency, and electric energy storage, transmission, and distribution. The missions will make stops in Hong Kong; Shanghai and Beijing, China; and Jakarta, Indonesia.
China's rapid economic growth has been accompanied by a huge increase in demand for energy and a dramatic jump in greenhouse gas emissions. In response to these challenges, China's central government has made clean energy and energy efficiency strategic priorities, implementing programs and new regulations designed to reduce emissions of major pollutants and greenhouse gases. These new requirements offer U.S. companies an important opportunity to provide a wide range of clean energy technologies to China's growing market. The mission will help U.S. companies doing business in China to increase their current level of exports and business, and assist experienced U.S. exporters looking to enter the Chinese market for the first time—all of which will support the creation of green jobs in the United States.
More information about the China Clean Energy Trade Mission
Sound fiscal and monetary policies, strong domestic consumption, and diversified exports are fueling much of Indonesia's growth. Energy needs far exceed supply causing the country to embark on multiple initiatives to regain energy balance. The Indonesian government expects a 56 percent increase in overall energy investments by 2014. Investment estimates include both public and private funds, which will be targeted at increasing the supply of electricity in urban areas, while also meeting the country's rural electrification needs. Indonesia is open to cultivating relationships with U.S. technology and service providers. Indonesia's strategic setting in Asia and its emerging domestic market offer significant commercial opportunities for the U.S. clean energy industry. Participants can help shape the growth of the Indonesian clean energy market by providing insight on standards and regulations that can ultimately lead to creating an environment that is ideal for U.S. products in the future.

1957 Chrysler Imperial Le Baron - The Imperial CharterWritten by Chris Shelton on October 1, 2009
Every worthwhile journey starts with a charter, an idea that defines its purpose. It's the philosophy that threads its way through the entire project and ultimately holds the thing together. Ben Exworthy had a charter that guided the construction of his '57 Chrysler Imperial Le Baron: Frank Sinatra. And demolition derbies.
"All my friends ran derbies in the summer, and the most coveted car to find was the Imperial. You could run one for several years before it was so dilapidated that you had to retire it, so I ended up with a healthy respect for Imperials through that experience. Then as I started going to car shows I started getting a real appreciation for cars with fins. Coupled with my fascination with Imperials, I started looking at the '57-59s as so stylish and cool."
But a stock one wouldn't quite do; a Forward Look Chrysler is a barge (Forward Look was a design theme employed by Virgil Exner in styling the '55-61 Chrysler Corporation vehicles).
The torsion-bar suspension is mushy and bias-ply tires wriggle around under cars that heavy. Given today's speeds, their three-speed transmissions are limited and drum brakes had a hard time when interstates were new curiosities.
Given the car's stature, neither would a radical one. "When I started this project I didn't want a hot rod," he continued. "I didn't want flames and the clichs. I just wanted something that had pure class.
"Part of it was that in the last ten years of his life I really started to bond with my grandfather. He had some similarities to Frank Sinatra; he wasn't overly verbose and he had this sort of classiness and masculine stylishness. So those things sort of coupled and brought me to that car."
Luck, in fact, brought him to this particular car. For starters, '57-59 Imperials aren't common; Chrysler made only 36,000 of 'em in '57. And of those, the highly-appointed 1,729 Le Baron sedans like the one Ben stumbled upon are the third-rarest production models that year. So buyers can't necessarily be choosy. "I bought the car sight unseen from this rockabilly guy in LA," he explained. "He'd done some things. Like it was flat black and he'd done some upholstery with a black-and-white flame motif and installed a couple skulls here and there."
Then there was getting it home. Electing to drive it to Seattle, Ben enlisted a buddy with mechanical skills. Along the 1,200-mile journey, they endured, among other things, a generator that burned out in pitch darkness on a mountain pass with no shoulders. What's more, a brake line developed such a bad leak that duct tape actually helped.
Finding a builder wasn't easy, either; Ben's plan required equal parts restoration and modification, and to this day the two worlds seem at odds with one another. It wasn't until Ben bumped into Greg Parsley, owner of Retro Rods Inc. that he found a party not only capable but willing to build something so unorthodox. But not even delivery went without a hitch; the slowly failing brakes went out altogether with Greg at the helm and the car rolling toward the paint booth.
Over the course of roughly three years, Greg and his right-hand man, Sig Schott, literally reduced the car to its elements and rebuilt it in a modern image. They clipped its frame for an aftermarket front stub and replaced great swaths of sheetmetal, including the entire rear quarters. Mike Reeves took the most powerful engine of its era, the 392 Chrysler, and multiplied its output by close to half. The additional gear in the overdrive transmission behind it means this 2 1/2-ton land yacht will launch like a jackrabbit and stride like a cheetah. A scratch-built performance-tuned suspension means it'll handle like a touring sedan and the air springs make it ride like the luxury car it was intended to be.
Purists surely cringe at some of the modifications, yet Chrysler historians may not even notice some of the others. Whatever the case, even a die-hard restorer would be obliged to recognize the craftsmanship. Working by Ben's input, Greg and Sig gave the car New Millennium function without altering a shred of its Mid-Century form.
"I made obviously more modern modifications and a little bit of craziness with the wheels, but overall I wanted something that my grandpa would drive and feel classy in," Ben emphasized. "So that really tempered a lot of the wackiness that some people do. Like I was thinking suicide doors at one point, but then I thought, 'Frank Sinatra wouldn't drive a car like that.'"
Chrysler's designers pledged their '57 Imperial Le Baron to be the finest of its class. It just took their grandkids' generation to fulfill that promise.

Had anyone tried it, they would've found the Weiand Drag Star manifold's excessive plenum volume and the Imperial's excessive weight a miserable combination. But the versatility of electronic fuel injection makes it possible. These eight Stromberg clones are the business end of a Retrotek induction system. Mike Reeves built the 392 below it with just a touch more cam profile.Though the interior in Ben's car isn't absolutely accurate, the '58 Pontiac brocade and Italian leather that Hoglund's Top Shop stitched in the Imperial's pattern is convincing as it is luxurious. It's tough to see, but the window frames in the immediate foreground are ribbed. Legend has it that a craftsman at Queen City Plating insisted on hand-filing the ribs, a process that took three years since it's a process that wears out hands in a matter of hours. Rather than anodized as they were, they now wear chrome.Ben had the caps scanned and sent the profile information to Billet Specialties. They merged the Imperial's inner-cap design with that of a similar-year Ford, creating these 20-inch-diameter articles. Between the fronts is a firewall-forward stub and suspension that Jim Meyer Racing made specifically for the car. Pinned to the rear by an Art Morrison four-link is a gusseted Ford 9-inch axle with a limited-slip differential and 35-spline axles.Chrysler cast the metal features right into the rim and trimmed the boomerang-shaped horn button in leather, making Dennis Crooks' restoration that much harder. This car also marks the beginning of Chrysler's luminescent period, when it screened its gauge markings with radioactive material so they would glow. JC Auto Restorations restored these from the best of three sets. The push-button shifter still functions, albeit to command the Retrotek electronic shifter.

No good deed goes unpunished
To the Editor:
As Catholics, we grow up with Easter as our High Holy Day. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us. In his honor, Catholics give up something each year during Lent. We are raised in the belief that it is good to give up something, especially if it can help someone else. This is a lesson that the educators at Kellenberg Memorial High School should learn.
On March 24, my nephew shaved his head to help support the St. Baldrick's Foundation. For those of you who do not know, St. Baldrick's is the largest childhood cancer charity in the country. In the last nine years, this wonderful charity has made over $103 million in grants to help defeat this hideous disease. My nephew raised more than $2,600 this year to help out, bringing his three-year total to just over $10,700. I understand that he will continue helping out each year going forward, he is that nice.
The punishment for his good deed showed up on March 25, when he arrived at Kellenberg. He was asked to go see the dean, who gave him five demerits for his sacrifice. If you receive 10 demerits you are expelled from the school. I am searching for the message that the good teachers at the school are trying to impart on this nice young man. You have to stop and ask the question, who wants to be bald? Certainly not the young victims of childhood cancer. What would happen if a student got cancer? Would they be expelled for losing their hair?
In my opinion, it takes great inner strength and courage to do something you don't want to do, but you do it anyway because it will help out someone else. I am glad that the 47,637 heroes that have shaved their heads this year do not or did not attend Kellenberg. Otherwise, under the threat of an unjustified punishment, childhood cancer research would be $20,690,310 poorer, and that's just this year so far.
Instead of discouraging such brave acts by their students, the administration at Kellenberg should be holding my nephew up as an example and encouraging other students to participate. I hope they see the errors in their ways and remove the five demerits from his record.

No politics at the parade
To the Editor:

I feel compelled to remark upon last week's writers assessment of the St. Patrick's Day Parade, particularly in his ignorant statements about the RVC Tea Party's participation in the Parade. The writer referred to the "Tea Party Patriots" as an "Obstructionalist group with a political agenda" (obviously confusing us with the malevolent "Occupy Wall Street ruffians of New York City Park, infamy). The writer further commented about "this group of angry people pushing their politics" and further said "I thought the parade was to be void of politics and political statements".
Let me say that I have been a member of the RVC St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee, since it's inception and was part of the committees who formulated the concept of the Parade which was to Honor the name of St.Patrick, to enjoy the many facets of Irish Culture which in great part developed along with other cultures to form this great and wonderful Country in which we now live. Another aspect of the Parade, far different than most celebrations of St. Patrick's day, was to raise funds for three different Charities each year. Each and every participating element of the parade made donations to those charities. Included was the RVC Tea Party Patriots.
In my position as Lead Judge at every Parade for the past 13 years, , along with 5 other judges peppered along the Parade route this year, we found NO violation of any rules concerning disrespect, rowdy conduct, misbehavior, or any other issue that might be considered offensive to the tenor of the day. Everyone, in spite of the cold and blustery day, enjoyed themselves immensely, (Except of course the one sad person who felt so offended by the Tea Party Patriots that he had to use the Herald to convey his wrath.).The Tea Party in particular marched with American, Irish and Gadsden Flags, and their Tea Party Banner leading their ranks of about 50 people. None of them brandished any 'political signs" whatsoever, nor did I perceive even ONE ANGRY FACE among them.
If there was ANY politics displayed during the Parade, it was that of US Senator Chuck Schumer, who never misses an opportunity to show-boat his presence with signs, bull horns, his intrusive Limo,and no less than 4 brutish escorts defending the Senator from the ire of incensed constituants. Normally, political figures and other dignitaries march at the head of the Parade. But apparently Schumer feels himself above them and marches when and where he feels like it
in complete indifference to Parade Protocols.
The RVC Tea Party Patriots were a fantastic presence in the Parade and have been these passed 3 years. They are present at our Village Memorial Day remembrances, and have made considerable contributions to our Servicemen and women in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to those who have come home from War seeking assistance. Their Patriotic fervor and American spirit uiplifted many along the parade route. We look forward to them coming back for many years in the future.

Summary:Three years ago, two young scientists teamed up to save New York City from an roach-borne epidemic that was killing thousands of children. Their miracle of genetic engineering was the Judas Breed, an insect whose enzimes proved deadly to the disease-carrying roaches. However, their creation has come back to haunt them, altering the balance of nature and tipping the scales in favor of the insects. The thing created in the lab has changed, and now, out there in the city it has begun to mimic the most dangerous predator of all---humans.

Great Stuff! I also am running Myrrdrak's conversion, and I even helped him with one of his maps here http://www.cartographersguild.com/vi...unter-map.html that he commented on. We are two-thirds of the way through H2 at the moment, but as I will be skipping very fast through H3 we'll be moving onto Trollhaunt Warrens soon enough.
You'd be surprised at how big a map you can upload on these forums. Save your map as a jpg at 85% quality and I bit it will fit here as a normal attachment with no visible loss of quality.
This is just shading and shadowing. I scribbled with a black brush on your map here and you can see what I mean. I added some crude shading to your objects - it will be easier for you because you can place the blackness below certain areas. In general, it would be easier to show the slope if you did away with the rocky area completely and just used black on the yellow floor to show the slope.One thing I have been trying to figure out is how to do proper shading to signify either a slope of height change. In the linked map (it is too big to post as an attachment.) I have many rock walls and some raised sections in contrast to the rest of the elevation on the map, particularly at the very top right, where an altar is situated on top of a raised section. How can I get a more realistic feel to these parts? I think the map looks ok as it is, but my inner self keeps telling me I can do better. Any help would be appreciated
Probably not. Just merge all the layers into one layer after you insert the images. Also cut and paste images if you are reusing the same one.Also, when I add objects to my image in photoshop, each individual image gets placed on it's own layer, is there an easier way to do this? It is a slow and tedious process.
One more tip: darken the cavern walls considerably. They'll look much better and the floors will really stand out. Also your grid is very heavy (make it a bit more delicate) and place it over the floor but below the walls and below all your objects.

Uhl Leading Field of Cyclones At USA Championships
AMES, Iowa – The upcoming USA Track and Field Championships will play host to 12 Iowa State student-athletes of past, present and future years. The nation's premiere track and field event will be held this year in Des Moines, Iowa, June 19-23.
Former Cyclone Lisa Uhl, four-time NCAA champion, placed 13th in the 10,000-meter run at the 2012 Olympics, finishing third among U.S. runners. A cornerstone in the revival of the Iowa State cross country and track and field programs, Uhl is the third-seeded runner with a time of 31:12.80, behind Amy Hastings (31:10.69) and Nike-teammate Shalane Flanagan (31:04.85). Come race day, Uhl hopes to earn herself a place at the top of the podium.
"In distance running, the biggest thing is keeping yourself relaxed," Uhl said. "Moves are made at the end of the race. I'm going to be playing off of other runners and key off how other people are feeling, trying to conserve all my energy for those last couple of miles."
Uhl played a large role in Iowa State's rise into the national spotlight. The Fort Dodge, Iowa, native feels very honored to be a part of the program's success.
"It makes me feel bigger than myself," Uhl said. "Betsy [Saina], Meaghan [Nelson] and Dani [Stack] have really continued the trend of the turnaround. It's cool to see the program that gave so much to me excelling, and I'm very proud to be a part of that."
Stack and Nelson, recent Iowa State graduates, will also be competing in the 10,000-meter run. Nelson finished 12th in last year's US Olympic Trials and enters the championships with the eighth best time at 32:14.27. Stack is seeded 13th at 32:51.28.
Stack and Nelson finished 14th and 16th, respectively, at this year's NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
For many of the younger Cyclones, the stage will be a little larger and the lights a little brighter. Uhl left a word of advice if the student-athletes find themselves overwhelmed.
"Many of them have seen the collegiate nationals, so they just need to remember that it's just like any other race," Uhl said. "It's about not freaking out, staying relaxed and treating it like every other day at the track."

Jandreau Found Guilty On Seven Counts
(Le Mars) -- It took the jury just 50 minutes to deliver a guilty verdict on all seven counts against Matthew Jandreau. The trial ended at almost 9:00 p.m. Monday evening following five days of testimony. The jury, that consisted of five men and seven women, found the 20 year old Jandreau guilty of burglary in the first degree, guilty of kidnapping in the third degree, guilty of assault with intent to commit sexual abuse causing bodily injury, guilty of attempted burglary in the second degree, guilty of operating a motor vehicle without owner's consent, guilty of criminal mischief, guilty of operating while intoxicated.
The jury also decided the value of the criminal mischief for repair or replacement was more than $500 but not more than $1000. On March 2nd, Jandreau started his
string of criminal activities by starting at the J and J Cafe (Truck stop) and stealing a
banana cake dessert bar. He then tried to steal a van, but instead left the van parked in the middle of the street and had stolen a women's purse that was left in the van by the owner. He also broke the cruise control lever off the steering column. Jandreau then tried to break in a home by kicking the back door. He then continued a few blocks away and entered a home located at 126 2nd Avenue SW by breaking down the door. It was at this location that an eleven year old female juvenile was home alone from school as she was ill. Jandreau assaulted the young girl, disrobed the girl by taking off her pajama bottoms and underwear, tried to place the young girl in both a dishwasher and broom closet, and finally threw her down a flight of stairs to the basement and kept assaulting her. The young girl
sustained numerous injuries including a separated shoulder. It was at this address that law enforcement officials responded to a 9-1-1 emergency phone call which only screaming was heard on the phone. Through out the duration of the trial, Jandreau showed no expression of emotion, many times sitting in the chair with his hand holding up his head, as if giving the impression he was bored. While entering the courtroom, none of the jury members looked at the defendant, nor at either of the attorneys. During the reading of the verdict, Jandreau continued to show no emotion. A specific sentencing date was not scheduled, but Judge Neary did indicate it would take place within the next thirty days.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Kenya Moore Has a Cancer Scare: Recap of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 5, Episode 14
It's time for our weekly dose of insanity — here's what went down with Kenya Moore on Season 5, Episode 14 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Let's do this!
Playing the Waiting Game
We've been giving Kenya a hard time for her crazy antics this season, but things definitely took a somber note tonight when she had to have a biopsy after her doctor found two lumps in her breasts.
What we didn't expect was for the mildly-graphic procedure to take place on camera. Did that really happen or did we flip to an episode of Grey's Anatomy by accident?
It was a stressful wait for Kenya to get her results, but thankfully, the health scare was just that — a scare. In all seriousness, though, we were happy to hear that one of the lumps showed no cancer cells and the other was benign. Great news!
Were you worried about Kenya? Tell us below!

Local pool sharks heading to nationals
Published: Sunday, June 30, 2013 at 7:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 30, 2013 at 7:57 p.m.
The members of "Rack Attack," "It Is What It Is" and "1 Time" will pack up their pool cues and head to Las Vegas this summer.
The three local amateur pool teams will compete at the 2013 American Poolplayers Association Open National Team Championships Aug. 15-24 at the Riviera Hotel and Casino, according to the local APA franchise: Mid-North Florida APA Pool League.
The teams beat opponents in an eight-county, handicapped playoff series that ended in June, thus securing their slots in the national tournament.
Rack Attack and 1 Time will compete in 8-Ball competition for prizes up to $25,000, and It Is What It Is will play in the 9-Ball series for prizes up to $15,000.
Teams from Palatka, Live Oak and Gainesville will be among 1,100 teams at the event.
Members of the three Ocala teams gathered recently at Bankshot Billiards in northeast Ocala for practice games.
"It's all about fun with longtime friends," said Kurt Estes, 29, co-captain of 1 Time along with Ronnie Gaylord Jr., 32.
Estes, who operates A-1 Tire with his father, likes the camaraderie and "mental challenge" of playing pool to relax after work.
"It's not the stereotype pool hall," Estes said when asked about the dated image of people being "hustled" in smoky pool parlors made famous in "The Hustler" movies.
Gaylord, of GP Masonry, has made the Vegas trip three times.
"You have to be a player; I grew up with playing pool," Gaylord said.
Most members of 1 Time have been friends at least five years. Team member Donna Harris, a licensed X-ray technician, met her husband, Allen, while playing pool.
"Pool was a game she could play and be with family friends while I traveled in my work as a welder," Allen Harris said.
According to league information, Brian Pritchard, Jim Rogers, Donna Cooper, Bill Muzzy and Chuck Passante round out 1 Time.
Rack Attack is also prepping for the Vegas trip.
"Pool is a blast. My dad had a club with pool tables and we were in a local league in Chicago for nearly 20 years. My husband, Tim, and I and our daughter, Brittany, are headed to the nationals with Ocala's Rack Attack," said Jackie Blomlie, 39, while she held her son Conner, 3.
Steve Sample with Bankshot and a member of the Rack Attack team emphasizes the inside, smoke-free family atmosphere of the facility.
Gwen Sample, 64, Steve Sample's wife and a CPA, and their son, Palmer, 35, an information technology professional, are members of Rack Attack. So are Wes Mancil, who is involved in glass manufacturing, and Jorge Vargas, 26, a jockey.
"In the final eliminations (for the national trip) we won on the first break of the last game. Our player sunk the 8 ball on the break, which is an automatic win. We went wild and the other team went silent," Palmer Sample said.
Brittany Blomlie, 18, and Mike Fisher, 18, of Ocala, will also participate in a youth tournament July 23 in Las Vegas sponsored by another organization, the Billiard Education Foundation.
It Is What It Is will play 9-Ball at nationals. It's a form of billiards where players accumulate points by sinking the balls in sequence. Team member John Lucas, 49, said he finds that "more challenging (than) 8-ball."
It Is What It Is team members include Keith Carroll, Daniel Davis, Theresa Hudnall, Johnny Lemons, Jessica Gaff, Joe Martinez and Willams Gumbs, according to league information.
Hudnall, 67, and her son, Lemons, are both associated with U.S. Veterans Post 100 in Citra.
"We like the game; it's challenging, interesting and requires skill," Hudnall said as she fielded some good-natured kidding from fellow team members about being the team's go-to player.

Welcome to the Guild Rick! That sounds like a fun and challenging project, and it's great that you want to share it with us. There are a number of artistic factors to consider when creating a map. What is the genre and/or intended theme of the map? What sort of medium and style would be fitting to represent that genre and/or theme? How to create a composition that draws the eye to the important details of the map and yet also contains all of the necessary map elements (e.g. title, key, compass, scale etc)? These are only a few initial considerations and I'm sure others here could name dozens more.
Definitely curious to follow the progress on this. Please let us know how the project progresses.

Ok... so here's another one of my geometrically-themed projects. This time: 5-sides.
In the fantasy world that I have been working on or writing in for the past few years there are five gods that the 'good folk' (elves, humans, dwarves, gnomes and Halflings) worship. Therefore in most human cities they have a large five-sided temple so that each of 'The Five' are worshiped equally.
Trying to figure out what a five-sided pyramid would look like wracked my brain for a bit until I discovered Google's sketchup program.
Normally I would create the floor plan for a building or structure in gimp first and then expand it with sketchup so that my players can see what the structure looks in the third dimension. This time, however, I knocked the idea together with sketchup first and need to apply a floor plan.
In a general sense I could say that the building is roughly five stories tall (to go with a whole 5-theme) and that each story is subsequently smaller than the one below it because of the pyramidial nature of the structure.
Now here's my question:
Do I add in a circular (or pentagonal...maybe?) stair in the center of the pyramid that provides access to all of the levels?
I was evening thinking of adding in a central sun well down from the top of the pyramid so that the interior chambers could have natural lighting. The sunwell opening would be narrow at the top (to fit) but could be a large 'doughnut hole' sort of a design with a stair wrapping around it.
This way there would be a standard opening in the center of each of the five floors with chambers radiating outward on each level.
Anyone ever done a doughnut hole design before and could give me some pointers?

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit SynopsisTom Clancys most iconic character, Jack Ryan, returns to the big screen in this taut suspense thriller. When a global terrorist network is about to be activated, brilliant CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Chris Pine, Star Trek) has no choice but to become operational. Yet when everyone who could stop the impending international catastrophe has something to lose or something to hide, who can Ryan possibly trust?

With the urgency of a lit fuse, hes in a race to stay one step ahead of everyone around him.

This Week In Home Entertainment: True Detective, Jack Ryan And Non-Stop
There are two types of action stars. There are those with almost superhuman physiques who leave a trail of bodies behind their rippling muscles like Greek gods and then there are those who basically play normal-ish people who are just really good at kicking ass. Liam Neeson falls in that second group. He looks like a former cop or an aging uncle who used to be in the marines.

Chris Pine Has A Bathroom Brawl In New Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Extended Clip
Beyond the fact that this is a fight scene without highly choreographed martial arts moves - instead just a realistic brawl between two dudes in a bathroom - the big take away from this clip is that Jack is still very new to the whole "field agent" thing.

Today began with some really shocking and upsetting news. Tom Clancy, one of the most popular political thriller writers of the modern era, has died at the age of 66.

Jack Ryan Needs A New Director As Jack Bender Departs The Project
I'm starting to believe that we may never see Jack Ryan on the big screen ever again. A new installment in the franchise has been whispered about since 2009, but since then the production has faced roadblock after roadblock, including scheduling issues for star Chris Pine with the Star Trek sequel - which is only now just starting to come together - and rewrites to the script. But while you may think that the rough water is behind the boat, think again.

David Koepp Brought In To Rewrite The Jack Ryan Script
Though he's never won, nor has he ever been nominated for and Oscar, David Koepp is one of the most powerful writers in Hollywood. Though he has his fair share of duds, he was still the man with the pen behind blockbusters like Jurassic Park, The Lost World, Mission: Impossible, Spider-Man, Angels and Demons, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Needless to say, the guy's brain is tapped into exactly what mainstream audiences want. Hence why this news makes a whole lot of sense.

New Jack Ryan Movie Will Put Chris Pine In Moscow
Clearly the new film would have to move away from the 80s/90s Cold War plots of the first films, but it is kind of hilarious to have Ryan on Wall Street, which somehow feels like another kind of 80s throwback

On television, babies are often born with a rush of emotion and swift action. The mother doubles over from the pain of a single contraction, and the baby appears before the commercial break. In reality, however, labor usually begins less dramatically. Find out common signs of labor and what they mean for you and your baby.
One of the first signs of labor is your cervix softening and thinning, or effacing. Most of the effacing happens in the last weeks before delivery, and you won't feel this preparation happening. Instead, your health care provider might check for signs of cervical change with vaginal exams.
Effacement is often expressed in percentages. At 0 percent effacement, the cervix is typically about 3 to 4 centimeters (cm) long, or very thick. Your cervix must be 100 percent effaced, or completely thinned out, before a vaginal delivery.
Another of the early signs of labor is your cervix beginning to open (dilate). Your health care provider will measure the dilation in centimeters from zero to 10.
At first, these cervical changes can be very slow. Once you're in active labor, expect to dilate more quickly.
Light spotting between weeks 37 and 40 of pregnancy could be a sign that labor is starting. Vaginal discharge that is pink or bloody is known as the bloody show. If vaginal bleeding is as heavy as a normal menstrual period, however, contact your health care provider immediately. Heavy vaginal bleeding could be a sign of a problem.
During pregnancy, a thick plug of mucus blocks the cervical opening to prevent bacteria from entering the uterus. When your cervix begins to thin and open, this plug might fall out. Losing the mucous plug is among the telltale signs of labor, but it's not a guarantee. Labor might still be days or weeks away.

I have a user who does not want to have Tasks as a calendar in his iCal. Each time he deletes it from his iCal the Tasks calendar reappears. This user does not use Tasks at all it is completely empty.
This is not a local tasks calendar this is the one listed under his CalDAV Zimbra account in iCal with all of the other Zimbra Calendars he does want.
I have recreated this on a mac in my office with a test account.
Mac OS version 10.5.6
iCal version 3.0.6 (1273)
iSync connector version 5.0.2750
Server version 5.0.12
I have used the Zimbra admin console to remove the Tasks from the list of available features and the Tasks tab is gone from the Zimbra Web client interface. But it still shows up in iCal even after is has been deleted from iCal. Once the iSync synchronizes the Tasks calendar is back.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
