Looking at your feature request here: http://www.ribbonsoft.com/bugtracker/in ... ask_id=558
The only 'Work around' I use (and you may already do this) to create/modify blocks 'as you go' in the current drawing and then save direct to the library is to select the block in question in the block list then select 'block edit mode' and then make any changes etc... in the property editor, then from the main menu:
Edit > Copy this block into a new drawing and then 'save as' to the library!
It is one extra process I know, but it does work well, your feature request to be able to save a block direct from 'edit' mode to the library is a fantastic idea and I totally support it.
keep up the good ideas.

I'm looking for a (preferably) clean way within ZCS to deny delivery of mail to certain addresses within the domains I administer.
For example, in my personal domain, I use my "main" address as a wildcard for the domain and give individual sites that want an email address something specific to the site. That way, if one of them "loses" my address to a spammer, I can just "shut off" the address.
In my pre-Zimbra sendmail days, I did this using the "access" hash table. However, when I try to enable that in procmail on my ZCS server, it does not seem to have any effect.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! (I'm getting sick of getting buried in email to addresses I shut off years ago...)

About this font family
Steve Jackaman and Ashley Muir. It was our initial intention to develop a suitable lowercase for Les Usherwood's 'Elston' typeface, based on a few characters from an old German typeface called Hermes Grotesque (Woellmer, Berlin). However, the new design quickly took on a life of its own, and we decided to call it 'Creighton'. Originally released as a four font family, we have now added eight more weights and made the entire family into 'Pro' versions for good measure.

The New SAT
The College Board announced this week that it is going to make sweeping changes to the SAT beginning in 2016.
Criticized both for giving an advantage to wealthy kids who can afford expensive test prep courses and also for creating extreme anxiety for students due to the unpredictability of what will be tested, the SAT has long been in need of a makeover.
According to The College Board, the test will remain predictive of how a student will perform in college, but instead of testing knowledge of arcane vocabulary words, reading comprehension of random passages and the ability to solve high-level math problems, the new SAT will test whether students understand words that they're likely to encounter in college (like "party" when used in a political sense), it will test comprehension of founding documents and texts (like the Bill of Rights or Martin Luther King's I Have A Dream speech), and it will test fundamental math skills that students need to perform well in college and in life, like algebra, ratios and percentages, as well as test students' handling of more advanced, complex equations.
As a former college counselor, I can tell you that this is great news for kids who work hard in school and get good grades. The only kids for whom these changes should be a problem are those who are smart but lazy (the ones who skate by in school doing little work and getting average grades, but then rock the SAT because they're inherently good problem solvers), and those who aren't that smart but are good at memorization (the kids who don't take any advanced classes but sit at home memorizing the dictionary).

text: Two years prior to that date we met, for the first time. A mutual friend, Gary & his wife Chris set us up on a blind date. We met at their house. Our first meeting wasn't all that exciting. I remember chatting and serving up ice cream for everyone. After a few hours Gary & Chris kicked us out of their house and we went our seperate ways. I thought Rick was nice but he didn't ask me out so I assumed nothing was there.


text: The alternative minimum tax (AMT) got a permanent fix for the first time in more than 40 years. Exemption rates are now indexed for inflation which means that Congress will no longer have to implement a "patch" each year. Without the patch for 2012, the IRS had warned that more than 100 million taxpayers might not be able to file on time in 2013.

Officials hope to reduce Alabama's suicide rate, which is worse than the national average.
The Alabama Suicide Prevention and Resources Coalition is planning an advertising campaign for this summer to address the taboo against talking about suicide.
State suicide prevention director Debra Hodges tells The Anniston Star the campaign will be funded with a $1.47 million, three-year grant aimed at youth suicide prevention.
Hodges says suicide rates have climbed sharply across the country since the recession began, and Alabama's problem has been worse than average.
Hodges says the state had about 13.4 suicides per 100,000 people in 2011. The most recent national numbers had the overall American suicide rate at 12.4 per 100.000 people.
Hodges says guns account for about 70 percent of all suicides in Alabama.

Bee Raw Honey
Store Profile
- Location: online only
- Specialty: Offering raw, unfiltered varietal honey for the American table.
- Price range: ($$) Mid-Range - ($$$) High-End
- Website: beeraw.com
Store History
- Founded: 2005
- Founded by: Zeke Freeman
We're committed to making premium varietal honeys more readily available to food lovers everywhere. Most honeys you buy in the grocery store are highly processed, stripping them of their natural flavor and goodness. We'd like to introduce you to honey as nature created it: raw, real and so pleasing to the palate that you'll put away the imported honey bear for good.
Honey can elevate a cheese plate, fruit bowl or recipe to desert status. Needless to say, as a dedicated appetizer enthusiast with a serious sweet tooth, I consume quite a bit. Bee Raw takes this sweet treat and turns it into a true experience
Offering raw, unprocessed, unblended honey in its most natural form they allow the complexities and unique flavor profiles from individual varietals to shine through. The company offers a range of flavors that can be purchased individually or gives you the option to sample a "flight" of a smaller pre-packaged selection based on groupings such as "cheese complimenting" (sold!) or fruit varietals. The company sources it's honey from artisan beekeepers across the United States.

Selected Topics in Criminal Procedure: Seminar on Federal Criminal Jurisprudence (4660)
The purpose of this course is to survey, in a relaxed and academic manner, the statutes, cases, and ideas that govern the prosecution and defense of federal crimes. The focus of our course will be federal trial and appellate court decisions construing federal criminal statutes. Because of the prominent role of federal agencies, and federal courts (and especially the Supreme Court) in this area of law, we will focus much attention on those resources in addition to reviewing the elements of the statutes. Pay close attention to both the statutes and the opinions of the courts that interpret them, as we will often refer to them in class.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Four term D.C. Councilman Jim Graham won't say it but observers say The Ward One representative plans to seek re-election next year and getting today's reprimand out of the way is a major step in that direction.
Graham did not argue against reprimand nor continue to lobby for a full hearing into the allegation that he offered to trade his vote on the city's 38 million dollar lottery contract if a company dropped its bid to develope a property owned by the area's Metro system.
The vote was 11-2 for reprimand with only Marion Barry siding with Graham. Barry is the only other legislator reprimanded in the past. He insisted today that Graham was entitled to due process including a hearing.
Council Chairman Phil Mendelson says that while Graham is not accused of a crime nor financial gain, the Ethics rules were clearly violated by Graham's conduct which was examined over two years by Metro and Dc Ethics panels.
Graham was also stripped of his oversight authority of the city's alcohol industry.
Graham did publicly address that decision during today's Council session. He called the move-- punishment--while detailing a litany of reforms he had brought to the alcohol-restaurant industry in DC.
Councilman Vincent Orange will take over that role.

Early voting for the 2013 City Council and mayoral elections is now underway. Find your voting location here. Normal voting hours will be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., although some days will be extended.
City leaders will host an event today to lay down the first streetcar track. The event will take place at 11 a.m. near Music Hall at Elm and 12th streets. The moment has been years in the making for Cincinnati, which continued pursuing the streetcar project through two referendums, Gov. John Kasich's decision to pull $52 million from the project and a separate $17.4 million budget gap. Meanwhile, ex-Councilman John Cranley, citing costs, says he would cancel the project if he wins the mayoral election against streetcar supporter Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls on Nov. 5, even though canceling at this point could cost more than completing the project.
More than 3,000 Cincinnatians who already voted early will get new ballots in the mail after an Ohio Supreme Court decision forced the Hamilton County Board of Elections to change the ballot language for Issue 4, the tea party-backed city charter amendment that would semi-privatize Cincinnati's pension system. Sally Krisel, deputy director of the Hamilton County Board of Elections, says the old ballots will at least count for every candidate and issue except Issue 4, but the 3,000-plus voters could have to refile their ballots to have their votes counted on the controversial pension issue. The board will make the final decision on whether to count the old votes for or against Issue 4 after it hears from state officials and reviews election law, Krisel says.
Supporters of a type of anti-union law infamously dubbed "right to work" say they're gathering petitions to get the issue on the ballot in 2014. The anti-union proposal wouldn't ban unions, but it would significantly weaken them by banning agreements between companies and unions that mandate union membership for employees and allow unions to collect dues and fees from nonunion members. The proposal first lost in Ohio in 1958, and it's been a "flashpoint" for union politics ever since, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
Cranley says he'd pick a Democrat as his vice mayor if elected to office. The announcement came on the same day a group of Democratic ward chairs pressured him to announce he'd pick a Democrat as his vice mayor. It was previously rumored that Cranley would choose Independent Councilman Chris Smitherman over any of the Democrats on City Council. The news is the second time in a week Cranley attempted to rebuke the idea that he's the conservative alternative to Qualls. Previously, Cranley told CityBeat he doesn't want and would reject an endorsement from the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), a conservative group with a history of anti-gay causes.
In a 3-1 vote, the Hamilton County Board of Elections decided to keep Randy Simes, the pro-streetcar founder of UrbanCincy.com, on the local voter rolls. Tea party groups contested Simes' ability to vote in Cincinnati because he's currently on assignment in South Korea and they believed he lived in Chicago when he voted in the Sept. 10 mayoral primary. But Simes says he intends to return to Cincinnati once he completes his assignment in South Korea, leading election officials to conclude that the case is similar to when Procter & Gamble or General Electric employees work abroad but retain their right to vote in Cincinnati. Simes' supporters said the whole case reeked of politics; the tea party groups behind the charges oppose Qualls for mayor, who Simes openly supports.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved a Mill Creek sewer overhaul plan that includes bringing back a long-buried creek in the area. The unconventional strategy is the Metropolitan Sewer District's (MSD) attempt at dealing with storm overflow in a green, sustainable manner that also saves taxpayers money — particularly in comparison to an expensive deep underground tunnel that the EPA originally suggested. CityBeat previously covered MSD's green plans in further detail here.
A law that would ban mandatory union membership is temporarily back on the Ohio House agenda, leaving union advocates worried that Republicans are trying to push the anti-union law, which supporters of the change call "right to work," once again. Still, lawmakers say they're only giving the law one hearing as required by House rules for legislation introduced early on in the session. Under current law, employers and unions are allowed to agree to mandating union membership for employees, but the anti-union law would bar that agreement. Many states have already taken up similar laws, and they've been linked to a significant decline of unions around the nation.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is partnering with Ohio State Board of Pharmacy Executive Director Kyle Parker to continue the fight against synthetic drugs. In a statement, DeWine's office said the partnership will help state officials expedite the process of banning synthetic drugs as they are found. "Despite the success of House Bill 334, which outlawed a multitude of synthetic drugs in 2012, rogue chemists continue to create new, dangerous chemicals that fall outside of Ohio's controlled substances law," DeWine said in a statement.

In case you missed it, here is the news section for the latest issue of CityBeat:
City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. gave his suggestions for fixing the streetcar budget gap Tuesday, and CityBeat analyzed the details here. The suggestion, which include temporarily using front-loaded Music Hall funds and pulling money from other capital projects, are capital budget items that can't be used to balance the city's $35 million operating budget deficit because of limits in state law, so if City Council approved the suggestions, the streetcar would not be saved at the expense of cops, firefighters and other city employees being laid off to balance the operating budget.
Ohio Senate Republicans seem unlikely to take up so-called "right to work" (RTW) legislation after it was proposed in the Ohio House. RTW legislation prevents unions and employers from making collective bargaining agreements that require union membership to be hired for a job, significantly weakening a union's leverage in negotiations by reducing membership. Since states began adopting the anti-union laws, union membership has dropped dramatically around the nation. Democrats, including gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald, were quick to condemn the RTW bills and compare them to S.B. 5, a 2011 bill backed by Republican Gov. John Kasich and Ohio Republicans that would have limited collective bargaining powers for public employees and significantly reduced public sector unions' political power.
Hamilton County commissioners approved a county-wide collaborative between health and government agencies to help reduce the county's infant mortality rate, which has exceeded the national average for more than a decade.

Councilman Chris Seelbach led the charge on the changes, which were opposed by council members Chris Smitherman and Charlie Winburn.
Ohio Senate Democrats are still pushing the Medicaid expansion, which the Health Policy Institute of Ohio found would insure 456,000 Ohioans and save the state money in the next decade. Ohio House Republicans effectively rejected the expansion with their budget bill, which the Ohio Senate is now reviewing. CityBeat covered the Ohio House budget bill in further detail here.

Two Ohio House Republicans are preparing to introduce so-called "right to work" (RTW) legislation, a deceptively named type of law that would ban collective bargaining agreements between unions and employers that require union membership to be hired at a job. Since states began adopting the anti-union laws, union membership has dropped dramatically. Democrats, including gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald, were quick to condemn the bills, invoking 2011's voter rejection of S.B. 5, a bill backed by Gov. John Kasich and Ohio Republicans that would have limited collective bargaining rights for public employees and hindered public sector unions' political power.
The city released a memo yesterday outlining how the streetcar project's $17.4 million budget gap will be funded. The memo emphasizes that the capital funds being used for the streetcar project can't be used to balance the city's $35 million operating budget deficit because of state law, so the streetcar project is not being saved at the expense of cops, firefighters and other public employees being laid off to balance the operating budget. CityBeat will have a more thorough analysis of the memo shortly after this article is published.
The state auditor released an audit yesterday that shows the Ohio Department of Transportation could save $7.4 million in taxpayer money by mowing the lawn less often. "We need to cut back by mowing less," State Auditor Dave Yost said in a statement. "Sometimes, it's the simplest solutions that have the greatest impact."
A Policy Matters Ohio survey confirmed Ohio schools are making cuts as a result of Kasich's education funding cuts. In total, 70 percent of schools slashed budgets for the 2012-2013 school year.
The mayor and city manager held a roundtable with the press yesterday explaining the merits of the city's plan to lease its parking assets to the Port Authority.

Ebola nurse on defensive gets call from Obama
ATLANTA (AP) — A nurse who fueled Ebola fears by flying to Cleveland after being infected by her dying patient is thanking God and her caregivers for her recovery.
Amber Vinson was released Tuesday from an isolation unit at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. She said, "With God, all things are possible."
Vinson's trip home to join her bridesmaids for wedding preparations was one of several moves by doctors and nurses that could have exposed others in the United States. In Ohio alone, 163 people were still being monitored Tuesday because of contact or potential contact with Vinson in a bridal shop and on the airplanes she used. Vinson arrived in Dallas on Tuesday evening, after tests showed she is now free of the virus.
Vinson didn't take any questions at Emory. Instead she read a statement thanking God, her doctors and people who prayed for her and her family. She also thanked missionaries Nancy Writebol and Kent Brantly for donating blood plasma to her and others after their recovery from Ebola.
Southern Baptists tell pastors: hold line on gays
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — More than a thousand evangelicals who believe gay sex is sinful are attending a conference hosted by the Southern Baptist Convention.
At the three-day conference, called "The Gospel, Homosexuality and the Future of Marriage," Southern Baptist leaders have sought to express their views in a way that's humble and compassionate, but rooted in the belief that marriage is only between a man and a woman.
The Rev. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said gay marriage is a "rejection of God's law." But Mohler and the Rev. Russell Moore, who heads the denomination's public policy arm, also said they don't believe people can necessarily eliminate same-sex attraction.
Moore added that Southern Baptists do not support "reparative therapy" for gays based on psychological counseling. But he said the denomination believes biblical teaching can help people live chastely while being attracted to people of the same gender.
Mexican claiming sanctuary in church seeks amnesty
DENVER (AP) — A Mexican man who has been living in a Denver church basement to avoid deportation says he is prepared to stay as long as it takes to gain the freedom to live in the U.S.
Arturo Hernandez, who is a contractor, has been granted sanctuary at the First Unitarian Society of Denver. Immigration officials say they do not pursue people wanted for immigration violations into sensitive areas like churches unless they have committed serious crimes.
Hernandez said the United States should welcome people willing to work hard, even if they are in this country illegally.
Hernandez acknowledges he got into a scrape with another contractor while laying floor tile. He was arrested and then acquitted when he went to trial. The deportation order came after his arrest, and he was ordered expelled from the country earlier this month.
Hernandez left his wife and two children and moved into the church basement Tuesday. His family comes to visit almost every day.
Pope delivers mini-encyclical on poor, environment
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has delivered an off-the-cuff, mini-encyclical on the poor, labor injustices and the environment, saying he's not preaching communism but the Gospel.
Francis' remarks to the World Meeting of Popular Movements, delivered Tuesday in his native Spanish, ran for more than six pages, single-spaced. It was one of his longest speeches yet and a clear sign that the issues are particularly close to his heart.
Francis said the poor need land, a roof over their head and work, and said he knew well that "some will think that if I talk about this, the pope is communist."
He said: "They don't understand that love for the poor is at the center of the Gospel. Demanding this isn't unusual, it's the social doctrine of the church."
Cuba builds first new church in 55 years
HAVANA (AP) — Catholic church officials say Cuba has allowed construction of the country's first new Catholic church in 55 years. Experts say it's a sign of improving relations between the Vatican and Cuba's communist government.
The church is being funded by donations from Catholics in Tampa, Florida, and will be built in the town of Sandino in the western province of Pinar del Rio. The church publication "Christian Life" says it will have space for 200 people.
The Cuban Catholic Church had tense relations with the government for many years after the 1959 revolution, but relations have been slowly improving in recent years.
Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI visited Cuba, the government recognized a Christmas holiday and began allowing masses or homilies to be broadcast on official media.

The ICRC and the missing
31-12-2002 Article, International Review of the Red Cross, No. 848, by Marco Sassòli, Marie-Louise Tougas
This article describes the humanitarian issues and dilemmas faced by the ICRC in dealing with missing persons. It is argued that full respect of the rules of international humanitarian law is the best way of preventing disappearances and alleviating the concerns of families of relatives unaccounted for. Examples of past ICRC practice are analysed with a view to advocating development and systematisation of ICRC activities in respect of missing persons.

New guys invigorated Chargers' boss
PHOENIX Dean Spanos is energized.
It took just a few minutes sitting with him in a courtyard inside the Arizona Biltmore on Tuesday to see this. The owner of the Chargers might be closing in on 63 years old, but he appears in mannerism and tone to be getting younger.
"Sure it has," Spanos said when asked if it was fair to say hiring a coach and general manager, who both happen to be more than 20 years his junior, has given him new vigor. "Absolutely. Attitude is everything. We had (the same) situation for a long period of time. You never really know exactly what you have until you have changes. Changes were made, and there a new energy around the club right now, a new attitude. You can see it. It's at a very high level right now.
"There is more enthusiasm than I've seen in a long time. It's not like, 'Oh well, back to work today.' It's enthusiasm."
It's not a stretch to say Spanos was fairly gushing at some points during our talk during a break at the NFL owners meetings, though he stopped himself at one point to acknowledge, "Look, we haven't won a game yet."
No they haven't. They haven't had the opportunity. The season is more than five months away.
This is pretty much all we have to go on when assessing Mike McCoy and Tom Telesco.
Whether the new culture ultimately helps produce the requisite number of victories, we'll see. Maybe this season, maybe next. If not by then, we must wonder.
For now, change seems good. But all it is, is change. McCoy knows that.
"Any time anyone goes into a new organization or any business as a leader of the business, there are going to be changes," the coach said Tuesday. "And everyone is going to have to adapt to change — right, wrong or indifferent."
Everything I hear from all corners of the building is how inclusive and positive and full of life the new Telesco-McCoy tandem is — that they have transformed the environment from stale to fresh in every department. Multiple people have conveyed to me that McCoy makes the custodial staff feel it is crucial to the Chargers winning the Super Bowl.
There is no discounting the role that Telesco holds in building the team and setting a tone, but when talking about image building both publicly and within the walls of team headquarters, there is no one more important than the head coach.
And as far as McCoy's charisma goes, I have to go on faith. I find him boring, devoid of candor, incapable of giving even the slightest sincere assessment of his team or his players.
But that is neither here nor there. He will keep his job — or not — based on the number of times he wins over the next three to four years. His level of openness and ability to be interesting with the media or public is mostly irrelevant. (And, in fact, I figure to have a lot of fun with McCoy's banality and unparalleled ability to string together clichés.)
Speaking for Spanos, my impression is his being keyed up is almost as simple as the fact he has emerged from being part of a trio of old men that ran the Chargers to having become the elder in a pack of young guns.
"When you come to work every day there is so much excitement," Spanos said. "I love going into Tom's office. And Mike — I don't know how to describe it — he walks down the hallway and he's talking to everybody, he's engaging and (saying), 'We're going to win,' It's not fluff. It's not bull. It's sincere. Everything is so different. It's exciting. It's a youth movement."

Panama City - In November, the governor asked the schools to offer 4 year degrees at the bargain price of 10-thousand dollars.
GCSC is one of the last 23 schools to make the agreement. The challenge specifically asked schools to choose one 4-year degree with high business demand.
Currently the Gulf Coast offers two 4-year degrees, one in nursing and the other in technology management. A third bachelor degree for organizational management will begin in August. That could be the one program that gets the budget tuition.
"I think a lot of people are turned off by higher education because of the coast. We are gulf coast have kept down cost down and still offer exceptional quality," says VP of Student Affairs Dr. Melissa Lavender.
Right now GCSC offers the most inexpensive degree in the state for $13,000.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Eliot Spitzer is re-entering politics to run for New York City comptroller, five years after resigning as New York governor in a prostitution scandal.
"I'm hopeful there will be forgiveness. I'm asking for it," Spitzer, 54, told the New York Times in an interview on its website.
Spitzer, a Democrat, said he saw a more activist role for the comptroller, the city's chief financial officer.
In comments to Reuters, he said he hoped voters were ready to move on and help him fulfill his dream to serve "on behalf of the public once again."
He hoped the financial community would want someone "who understands markets" in the comptroller's office, which he aimed to revitalize the way he did the attorney general's office a decade ago.
The city comptroller manages five pension funds, does budget analyses, and audits city agencies.
Spitzer was dubbed the "sheriff of Wall Street" during his time as attorney general, when he aggressively prosecuted financial crimes. He became governor in 2007 but resigned after being identified as a client in a prostitution ring.
Spitzer, who became a television commentator after leaving public office, said he made the decision to run over the July 4th weekend.
Current comptroller John Liu is running for mayor.
The deadline for filing a petition to be on the September 10 primary ballot to succeed him is Thursday, by when Spitzer must collect 3,750 signatures.
He is expected to face off against Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer in a Democratic primary. Other candidates for comptroller include Republican John Burnett, a Wall Street executive, and former madam Kristin Davis.
Spitzer's announcement comes as another scandal-tarnished New York Democratic politician, attempts a political comeback. Former U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner is a frontrunner in the New York mayoral race, two years after admitting sending lewd photographs of himself to women.

Everything looks good to me except that the lines are too crisp and clean. Of course, they would have been this way fresh off the press.
Hi all, this is my first post ^^. I've followed this forum a little and I must thank everyone for the precious hints I've found here and there.
Now, to the map! I intend to play a game set in the 17th century Caribbean (an historical campaign) and so I'm realizing a regional map. I want it to be an antique style map. This is what I've done until now.
I must say that i don't have much time, so i won't update it often. Anyway, because of the huge labeling work (at least for me xD), I could use your help. Do you think something is wrong? Do you have any advice about labels positions, font size?
Any kind of advice (not only about the font) will be really appreciated. Thank you and pardon me for the bad english .
Everything looks good to me except that the lines are too crisp and clean. Of course, they would have been this way fresh off the press.

My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
To be honest, I really don't like those outlines around the landmasses. They're way too obstructive, especially in a map like this. The archipelagos, like the Bahama Islands and Lesser Antilles, are so confusing I almost can't read them. They lines also randomly jagged or smooth, which looks odd. And because they are made by an automated process (I assume, so correct me if I'm wrong), there's also a few "pixel artifacts" here and there.
If you insist on keeping them, I suggest at least placing them closer to the coastlines, without that much space between them. That way they don't stretch out too far and start overlapping with lines from other islands, which just makes a mess of thick and thin lines.
But hey, that's just my opinion, and you definitely shouldn't listen to that.
How you actually turn this into an antique style map, I think you can find a great tutorial for, somewhere on this forum.
Oh, and welcome!

I concur with Daelin: the coastal lines are too far from the shores and clutter up the map. Remember that they should serve a function, and that function on this map will probably be rudimentary bathymetry—the sea floor would not be rigorously mapped, but there would likely be indications of where the continental shelf falls away, where the shallows are, etc.
Color will probably help to clarify things, too.
As for the font choice, it looks pretty good to me. I don't think you should curve the text unless it serves a function. Having every label curved is too much, in my opinion. Nor should they be angled unless there is need for it. Note that it should probably be "Greater Antilles" and not "Grater…"
You did not mention what software you are using. If it's Illustrator, you might be able to find a slightly distressed brush to stroke the coastlines with so they do not appear so computer-generated and will better match the quality of your lettering. I don't know if Inkscape has that capability yet or not.

I like it, it's simple and very clear. I see nothing that demands a change; I even like the font.

Thank you for the warm welcome ^^.
I will try to modify the coastal lines or simply change them with something else. I'm using photoshop only by the way.
About the crisp and clean look, well it's not finished yet and I will work on it. But I don't know how right now .
The curved text was just a choice. I can always change it. While "Grater..." is clearly a mistake xD. Thank you for noticing it .
And thanks to Ascension that inspired many things with his tutorials and his wonderful maps .
Ok, I've changed something. I've used scattered brushes to draw the outlines to make them less clean, even if the results are not superb. Is it better now? Do you still think I should change the outlines around the land masses? Thank you.
welcome ... it looks much better now, really good work - have some rep for your first entry

Yeah, see, that looks way better than before. Though, personally, I'd make them an even more subtle gray, but this works really well.
I don't think the crispness of the lines will be a problem once you replace the white background with a parchment texture, which is the look you're going for, right?

Five years after opening, officials say the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre has exceeded expectations. Michele Swann — general manager and chief executive officer of the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority, which oversees the 2,750-seat theater and nearby Cobb Galleria Centre — said a feasibility study saw the venue breaking even in its fifth year.
"In fact, we were self-sustaining in year one," Swann said. "That's something you don't typically see in a venue, whether it's a convention center or a performing arts center."
The performing arts center posted profits of $1.6 million on income of $8.6 million and expenses of $7 million in fiscal year 2011. The current fiscal year ends Sept. 30. Cobb County is still using a portion of the county's hotel-motel taxes to pay down $57 million in 25-year bonds to finance construction of the performing arts center, which cost a total of $145 million.
Since the center's Sept. 15, 2007, opening night gala featuring Broadway stars Michael Feinstein and Linda Eder, the Cobb Energy center has brought in a number of stars of theater, music and comedy. Among the performers to grace the stage — which is no farther than 160 feet from any of its seats — are Justin Bieber, Lady Antebellum, Alice Cooper, Melissa Etheridge, Harry Connick Jr., Norah Jones, Bill Maher and Billy Crystal.
"Obviously we're a major performing arts center in the Southeast," said performing arts center managing director Michael Taormina, who started in June 2006 when the building was being finished and staffed. "The region is very important, we have contributed widely not only to metropolitan Atlanta and Cobb County, but we've made a major difference nationally with this venue for the last five years."
Taormina shows off statistics gathered by Pollstar that have the Cobb Energy center selling 157,835 tickets in 2011, ranking it 27th in the country among indoor theaters of all sizes. In Georgia, it ranks only behind Midtown Atlanta's Fox Theatre, which seats a much higher 4,600 people.
Taormina said his venue doesn't have an adversarial relationship with the Fox; instead, the theaters complement each other.
"I feel that if not for this venue, Atlanta would see talent come through that otherwise would pass it up because the Fox was busy with Broadway or something else," he said.
The Cobb Energy center featured 147 shows in 2011, with 13 of them selling out. So far this year, he said the theater is "holding our own."
"Everybody wants more, but that's a major equation," he said. "That equation works with routing the artist and date availability. We call that, 'When the stars line up.' "
The fall has some well-known artists coming to the Cobb Energy center, starting with Al Jarreau and Ramsey Lewis, who performed at Friday's fifth anniversary Overture Gala. In the coming months, the center will feature shows by Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson, former Talking Heads singer David Byrne with St. Vincent, Esperanza Spalding, Dave Koz, Morrissey and indie rock band The Shins. Also coming up are several performances of the Broadway hit "Chicago" and the Atlanta Opera's "Carmen."
Taormina said there is a balance between the venue trying to make sure it brings artists who fill seats and performers who want to make sure they are playing the right sized facility.
"The whole idea is you have to sell tickets," he said. "There is a cost involved in producing the shows. You want each show to be a sellout, and as a consequence to that, you want to prepare."
Taormina acknowledges that there can be many empty dates for the center in the summer months. But he said that is typical of the theater industry, since a number of artists don't tour in the summer and those that do prefer outdoor amphitheaters.
But even when shows aren't being booked, the Cobb Energy center still gets business because of its ballroom. Taormina said the building, and its 254 total events had a $21.5 million economic impact on the state in fiscal year 2011, and sometime in the next year could cross a $100 million economic impact since it opened.
The facility has also been the site for the filming of several movies and television shows. Taormina even has a picture of the Cobb Energy center (posing as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters) being blown to smithereens in a first season episode of "The Walking Dead," a scene that has reached legendary proportions in Cobb.
Just this weekend, he said filmmakers were planning to set a "Black Swan" spoof in the theater as part of the upcoming "Scary Movie 5," which stars the troubled Lindsay Lohan.
"When I come to work Monday, there'll be extras everywhere," Taormina said. "They'll be wearing tutus I'm sure."
Other movies are in the works, though officials won't yet say what they are.
Cobb Energy center is helping give back to the community through its ArtsBridge educational initiative. Before Friday's concert, 100 music students from McEachern High School and Lovinggood Middle School, both in Powder Springs, along with two Atlanta schools, got to sit in on Jarreau and Lewis's sound checks and ask the performers questions afterward. Since the program started in 2007, ArtsBridge has offered field trips, classes and workshops, as well as bringing musicians to schools, to more than 185,000 students, according to the Cobb Energy center website. It also puts on the Shuler Hensley Awards, considered the Tony Awards for Georgia High School musical theater.
Taormina said changing the venue's name, which a for-profit subsidiary of non-profit Cobb EMC agreed to a $20 million naming rights deal though 2015, hasn't been discussed. That's even though there is little of Cobb Energy left following a scandal that led to the indictment of former CEO Dwight Brown and the replacement of the former Cobb EMC board.
"It was strictly naming rights," Taormina said.
Cobb EMC's new logo, introduced by its new board in April, is based on the Cobb Energy center's logo that features sun rays above its curved, sloped roof.
"We were thrilled to let them do it," Taormina said. "I think this building has been successful for everyone."
Swann, who has been with the coliseum and exhibit authority since 1995, said a performing arts center was discussed as far back as the original building of the Galleria convention hall in the late 1980s. But an initial study said that it should be incorporated into plans at a later time.
Another study in 2000 determined that the time was right for a theater at the Galleria, and the long process of fundraising and bringing it to fruition started, Swann said. She credits the ballroom, as well as the fact that the performing arts center has its own chef and does its own catering, with making it while other venues struggle.
"I have seen it since it was just a concept," she said. "It's great to reach our five-year anniversary."

Course: ZCS-471: Deploying Zimbra on Campus
Summary: In this 'senior thesis' class you will review some case studies, best practices, & important lessons learned from some major Zimbra EDU deployments!
Class meets: Wed, November 7th @ 10am PST, 11am MDT, 12pm CDT, or 1pm EDT
-If you're in the U.S. don't forget to adjust your clocks back an hour on Nov 4th (we got an extra week this year).
Instructors: Arranged by Unicon & as always hosted by the Zimbra team!
Moderator: Matt Asay, VP of Business Development for Alfresco & open source blogger
Visiting Professors:
* Pam Buffington, Project Lead, Georgia Tech
* Mike Dickson, Special Assistant to the President, Western Illinois University
* Dan Cody, Admin/Project Lead, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Prerequisites: As always, register for the course!
Often the best data points about which messaging and collaboration system to choose for a campus upgrade comes after the initial deployment. Thus, finding peers who can provide real world feedback is critical to the decision making process. So we've "rounded up" some campus IT leaders to share their experiences selecting & deploying next-generation messaging solutions.
For this webinar we will have an open panel discussion featuring Zimbra customers Western Illinois University, Georgia Tech and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. It will be moderated by Matt Asay, noted open source strategist, CNET blogger (< btw read that link or this) prior InfoWorld blogger, & regular O'Reilly convention speaker (had the keynote at OSCON this year).
A major challenge facing higher-education organizations is upgrading their email and collaboration solutions to meet the demands of today's digital lifestyle. Students require better features, while message storage has skyrocketed and security is paramount. Many are turning to feature-rich open source solutions capable of integrating students, faculty, alumni, and staff all together in a single solution.
What you'll be knowledgeable in by the end of this course:
- How a single solution can address the needs of and integrate students, faculty and administrators
- Tips for migration and timelines
- Compare previous to new deployment architecture
- How the admin console, custom management portals, and other tools reduce help desk and other administrative tasks
- Some of the challenges & key requirements for facilitating communication in today's digital campus
- Why ZCS has been selected by over 200+ educational institution customers worldwide & some case-study examples a leading solution provider to higher education
- How you can integrate campuses featuring deployments from the very small to those with tens of thousands of students, faculty, & staff
- And my personal favorite: How a campaign goes far beyond just doing a simple technical migration, you'll literally have people begging at your feet to get on it instead of griping about having to learn something new.

Guide To Finding The Right Restoration Parts For Your Mopar - Restoration Parts Buyers' GuideWritten by on December 1, 2009 Contributors: Randy Bolig We Show You What You Need And Where To Get It
When it comes to restoring your Mopar, there are several distinctly different ways to get the job done. If you have more money than time, having the car completely refurbished by a professional restoration shop is a nice way to go. You simply drop the car off with a deposit, then the shop does all the work for you, and you pick the car up when it's finished (which usually involves writing a big check). At the other extreme, if you have the skills, knowledge, and tools you can perform all of the work yourself, replacing or rebuilding each part of the car until it's perfect, and saving money in the process. If you're like most of our readers, however, you fall between those two extremes, performing much of the work yourself, but farming out certain items like perhaps the engine, transmission, or bodywork and paint. But whether you do the job yourself or pay to have it done, and whether your car is being restored to stock specifications or highly modified, you'll need to know where to obtain quality parts to do the job properly.
Having the right restoration parts for your Mopar really can make or break your project. No matter how much you spend on your car's paint job, it just won't look its best if the trim, chrome, emblems, and mirrors are worn, or pitted originals. Additionally, items like original marker lenses and taillights might look ok before your paint job, but can look faded and discolored when next to new paint. Seals, hood bumpers, window felts, and numerous interior items also need to be replaced during a restoration, and if your car is a specialty car like an A12 Road Runner or a convertible, there are many parts that may be specific only to your car, making them even harder to find. While we used to enjoy scrounging around the scrap yards and swap meets, or finding a donor car to obtain parts from, the fact is these original parts are just as old as the ones on our car, and they're getting harder to find. Luckily, there are more parts being reproduced for our Mopars now than ever before, so it's a great time to restore your car to new or even better-than-new condition.
Back before muscle cars were considered classics, our choices were limited when it came to finding parts. We either had to clean up the original items on our cars and make the best of them, or try to find used items in better condition than the parts on our car. Alternatively, we could search the dealer networks for NOS pieces, but most of those have long since been purchased by savvy resellers, making NOS stuff expensive and hard to find. These days, Mopar enthusiasts have a different problem, as restoration parts are readily available from numerous sources, making it hard to decide where to get the parts we need, and whose parts are best for our project. This month, we'll discuss the pros and cons of purchasing restoration parts from a high-volume warehouse distributor, your local restoration shop, or straight from the manufacturer to help you decide which source is right for you.
The Big Guys
As the automotive restoration hobby has grown over the past couple of decades, so has aftermarket support for those of us refurbishing our cars. Companies like YearOne, and The Paddock were quick to realize the scope of the muscle car restoration craze, opening up early-on to provide both NOS and aftermarket parts for our cars. Since then, these companies have grown dramatically and now nearly every available restoration part can be obtained through either of these sources.
Both The Paddock and YearOne also now carry factory style and high-performance drivetrain, suspension, and brake parts as well and are a great option if one-stop-shopping is your style. Since their facilities are large, these companies keep lots of parts in stock and likely have the parts you need on the shelf, ready to be shipped. They've also done their research well, generally know what fits and what doesn't, and which suppliers to avoid. The larger companies also buy in volume and because of that can often offer discounts, especially if you purchase a large number of parts at once.
The Smaller Shops
While one-stop-shopping is right for some enthusiasts restoring their Mopars, there are also those who take their time, only purchasing parts for the area of the car they're working on, and prefer to deal with smaller parts dealers or local restoration shops that also deal in parts. Businesses like P.G. Classic Restorations, Herb's Parts, Dante's Mopar Parts, Van's Auto, Stephens Performance, Tony's Mopar Parts, and even Mancini Racing and Glendora Dodge are among the plentiful suppliers of restoration parts for this type of customer.
Even if one of these shops isn't located in your immediate area, don't think you can't get good customer service. Most of these sources have websites with internet ordering, and ship parts to customers worldwide. While they may not have the inventory that warehouse suppliers do, they often offer customized service, and can order the parts you need, even drop shipping them directly to you in some cases. There's also a good chance the employees at these shops have performed the same work you're doing, so they know what fits and what doesn't. And if you happen to get the wrong part, it's nice to be able to deal with the same person who sold it to you, not another sales person who may or may not remember your project.
Straight From The Source
While not all manufacturers sell directly to the public, there are a good number of specialty parts manufacturers and suppliers that can provide quality parts for your Mopar, often at very reasonable prices. Businesses like Auto Body Specialties, Auto Metal Direct, Auto Rust Technicians, and Sherman and Associates manufacture and supply sheet metal for most Mopar body styles, and are a direct source for replacement panels. Just Suspension and Performance Suspension Technology deal specifically in suspension components, so when its time to perform that part of the restoration it can pay to call them directly.
When it comes to the decals and graphics for your Mopar, either Graphic Express or Phoenix Graphix are good direct sources. Legendary Auto Interiors offers great upholstery for most Chrysler products, and JC Auto Restoration and Auto Instruments.com provides dash and instrument restoration services. When it comes to stopping your Mopar, either Stainless Steel Brakes or Master Power Brakes can supply not only new parts, but kits to upgrade your car to disc brakes. For all the brake and fuel lines, either Right Stuff or Inline Tube will have what your car needs.
Wheels and tires are an important part of your car, and either Wheel Vintiques, or Stockton Wheels has all the popular Mopar styles, some even available in larger diameters or made from billet materials. Coker Tire can shoe the new wheels in the proper vintage tires to complete the classic look of your restoration, and if your Mopar is a convertible, Hydro-E-Lectric has tops, latches, and hydraulic components to make your top look and function its best.

If you need a part quickly, your best chance of finding it in stock is usually with one of the larger suppliers of restoration parts.Rather than specializing in one area, the big restoration parts suppliers usually can provide everything you need to complete your car, from small trim pieces to body panels, and even major engine and suspension components.There's something to be said for the way a small business treats its customers, so if you want to keep your business local, or if you need hands-on advice during your restoration, you might try one of the numerous smaller suppliers as a source for your parts.Most of the warehouse suppliers deal with multiple vendors so they stock parts for all different types of Mopar, giving you plenty of choices to fit your restoration, and your budget.Restoring a Mopar presents a challenge, especially if nearly everything needs to be replaced. If you're purchasing all of your parts at once, it makes sense to get them from a large supplier who carries a big inventory.Even if a smaller shop doesn't stock the part you're looking for, chances are they can get it for you at a competitive price if you give them a chance.
These days there are plenty of companies manufacturing quality aftermarket parts for your restoration, so it may make sense to go directly to the source for some of your parts.Smaller parts suppliers often perform restorations themselves, so chances are they're familiar with your project and know which parts fit and don't fit. They can also offer time saving advice to the do-it-yourselfer since they've likely performed the work themselves.Smaller suppliers of restoration parts generally take pride in helping their customers achieve their restoration goals, and go the extra mile to make sure you get the right parts for your project.If your car needs an interior makeover, you can save some time and money by ordering items such as door panels directly from the manufacturer.The proper vinyl decals to accent your Mopar muscle car are available directly from several manufacturers, making it easy to accent your car with the proper style stripes.If you need body panels (and what Mopar doesn't these days), there are several companies that will sell the pieces to you directly. Dealing directly with manufacturers has benefits including shipping directly to you, and sometimes lower prices.Convertible Mopars present specific problems during restoration. By dealing directly with a company that specializes in convertible cars, you can save time and money getting it right the first time.Whether you consider your Mopar a show car or a daily driver, you'll be proud of the way it looks when you use the proper parts to complete the restoration.
Instead of trying to locate and restore an original set of wheels for your Mopar, you can now purchase a new set through several sources. Retro-tires are also available if you want an original look right down to the ground.
