Nice tutorial. Can't wait to apply it to some of my own creations. Thanks for sharing!
Hello all,
a few folks have mentioned they would like to see a little texture tutorial and I've gotten a few questions on how I did my textures for maps like Radigast and others. Well, I slapped a mini overview together and I hope it will explain some stuff. The overview assumes you are using Photoshop, but any bitmap editing software with layers and masks should do the trick.
Step 1: get a map.
I made this one for the purposes of this tutorial ... it's not perfect, since it's in colour and not black and white, but I got carried away at some point while drawing it ...
Step 2: add your texture shots (scans of old paper, photos of rusty metal sheets, cracked paint, dirt, plaster, sand ... whatever. Main thing is, it's more or less consistent and not too contrasting - you don't want it messing with your content)
Here I've duplicated a layer of cracked paint for the start. In the Layers panel you set the blending of each layer. Usually I'll use multiply and overlay layers, sometimes a screen layer as well. Each of the blending modes does it's own thing (and I suggest you play around with them) - but basically multiply multiplies the pixel values (darkening everything), screen divides the pixel values (basically making things lighter) and overlay does both at the same time, making highlights and shadows strongers (dark values become darker, light values lighter). The other blend modes aren't *that* useful to me, but ... whatever you like. I suggest a tutorial like this.
Why multiple layers? Because just a single multiply layer will darken your map too much (for my taste), while a single screen layer will lighten it too much. I duplicate AT LEAST the main texture (the one that will be the most visible), that way I can control what looks darker and what looks lighter, while not affecting the look and continuity of the texture itself.
Also, don't forget to adjust levels, hue, saturation and other things for your texture layers. Just fool around. They're replaceable, after all! All these settings are hiding in the Image->Adjustments-> menu (and elsewhere too).
That's the menu. Fool around. Use Ctrl+Z now and again.
But ... this by itself doesn't do enough.
Step 3: Masking your textures
Add a mask to EVERY ONE of your textures.
Now to work. Click on the mask. The white area lets everything through. When the mask is black it blocks everything. Get the paintbrush tool and press "D" giving you your basic black and white brush. Get a nice, big, rough brush with soft-ish edges (from 200 pixels wide on up). Set it to a low opacity and flow (fiddle around for a setting you're comfortable with - it depends on the texture, the image below, your preferences, etc.) and start making parts of your map less textured by painting around. What you're doing is masking (hiding) bits of texture to let you manually choose which parts of the map will shine through "clean" and "unsullied" and which will be grimed and hard to see - this way you can keep texts legible while doing horrible stuff to most of the map. Press "X" now and again to switch from black to white (X swaps your background and foreground colour in PS) if you have to erase your mask.
Now do this for every texture layer. I sometimes hide the layers I'm not working on, so I can see what I'm doing more clearly. Try to avoid sharp edges, as they'll be too visible and spoil the effect.
Step 4: Enjoy your artwork
Here you can see I used 5 texture layers - 1 paper, 2 cracked paint (one heavily desaturated) and 2 rusted iron textures. At bottom are your two friends - the adjustment layer tool and the masking tool. Each texture layer has its own mask that I doodled in. Obviously, I adjusted the opacity of the layers as needed as well.
Here is the final, textured version of the starting map:
Textures don't work the same way on different maps, so each one is best done on its own. Here I've applied the exact same texturing to a different map:
And, it could use some work.
Step 4: The End!

Certainly going to play around with this one. Thank you much!

Conn. victims: Lively youngsters, devoted adults
NEWTOWN, Conn. At the very start of their lives, the schoolchildren are remembered for their love of horses, or for the games they couldn't get enough of, or for always saying grace at dinner. The adult victims found their life's work in sheltering little ones, teaching them, caring for them, treating them as their own. The gunfire Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School left a toll both unbearable and incalculable: 20 students and six adults at the school, the gunman's mother at home, and the gunman himself.
A glimpse of some of those who died:
They were supposed to be for the holidays, but finally on Friday, after hearing much begging, Charlotte Bacon's mother relented and let her wear the new pink dress and boots to school.
It was the last outfit the outgoing redhead would ever pick out. Charlotte's older brother, Guy, was also in the school but was not shot.
Her parents, JoAnn and Joel, had lived in Newtown for four or five years, JoAnn's brother John Hagen, of Nisswa, Minn., told Newsday.
"She was going to go some places in this world," Hagen told the newspaper. "This little girl could light up the room for anyone."
Daniel's family says he was "fearless in the pursuit of happiness in life."
He was the youngest of three children and in a statement to the media, his family said Daniel earned his missing two front teeth and ripped jeans.
"Words really cannot express what a special boy Daniel was. Such a light. Always smiling, unfailingly polite, incredibly affectionate, fair and so thoughtful towards others, imaginative in play, both intelligent and articulate in conversation: in all, a constant source of laughter and joy," the family said.
His father, Mark, is a local musician. The New Haven Register reported the father had been scheduled to play a show at a restaurant Friday in Danbury that was later canceled.
On the biography on his professional website, Mark Barden lists spending time with his family as his favorite activity.
Days before the Connecticut shooting rampage, Rachel D'Avino's boyfriend had asked her parents for permission to marry her.
D'Avino was a behavioral therapist who had only recently started working at the school, according to Lissa Lovetere Stone, a friend who is handling her funeral planned for Friday.
D'Avino's boyfriend, Anthony Cerritelli, planned to ask her to marry him on Christmas Eve, Lovetere Stone said.
Lovetere Stone said she met D'Avino in 2005 when D'Avino was assigned to her son, who has autism, in their town of Bethlehem, Conn. D'Avino, 29, was so dedicated she would make home visits and frequently offer guidance on handling situations such as helping her son deal with loud music at a wedding.
"Her job didn't end when the school bell rang at 3 o'clock," Lovetere Stone said.
Police told her family that she shielded one of the students during the rampage, Lovetere Stone said.
"I'm heartbroken. I'm numb," Lovetere Stone said. "I think she taught me more about how to be a good mother to a special needs child than anyone else ever had."
Images of Olivia Rose Engel show a happy child, one with a great sense of humor, as her family said in a statement. There she is, visiting with Santa Claus, or feasting on a slice of birthday cake. Or swinging a pink baseball bat, posing on a boat, or making a silly face.
Olivia loved school, did very well in math and reading, and was "insightful for her age," said the statement released by her uncle, John Engel.

I am trying to create a zimlet that adds some custom buttons to the zimbra client.
Now one part of this is that we need to be able to see some custom status in the mail view.
This is the DwtListView in the mail tab. Simply the received messages tab.
Just like the Tags column we need to add a column to this view.
Is this possible using normal extentions or do we need to change Zimbra core for this?

We upgraded our NE server to 5.0.11 last night, and now all of our Thunderbird users who are using Lightning are noticing that Thunderbird occasionally hangs for up to a couple minutes at a time, as well as hanging for a minute or two when starting up.
This has been reported to me with the latest versions of both Thunderbird and Lightning (184.108.40.206 and 0.9, respectively).
The slowdowns and hangs stop if we remove Lightning from the configuration.
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm not seeing anything obvious in mailbox.log.

Michael Annett Revisits Gateway International Raceway to Promote Pilot Flying J Coffee Both On and Off the Track
Posted by: lori on Oct 19, 2010
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing
Madison, Ill. (October 19, 2010) – Germain Racing driver Michael Annett will return to Gateway International Raceway this week after posting an 11th place finish on the 1.25 mile oval in the NASCAR Nationwide Series Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 held earlier in the season on July 17. Sporting a special Pilot Flying J Coffee paint scheme on his No. 15 Toyota Camry, Annett and his team will compete in Saturday's 5-Hour Energy 250, the final non-companion race of the season for the Nationwide Series.
Pilot Flying J, a longtime sponsor of Annett in the ARCA Racing Series, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and currently in the Nationwide Series, maintains one of their over 550 locations just across the street from Gateway International Raceway. Convenient to race fans and travelers alike, the Pilot Travel Center location on State Route 203 at exit 4 off of Interstates 55 and 70, will host Annett on race day from 12 p.m.-1 p.m. for an autograph session. In conjunction with Saturday's race, samples of Pilot Flying J's "Best Coffee on the Interstate" will be provided free to race fans and store customers.
Saturday's 5-Hour Energy 250 will be Annett's third time featuring the special Pilot Flying J Coffee paint scheme. The second year Nationwide Series driver piloted the car at Kansas Speedway and Auto Club Speedway earlier this month. In addition to his time on the track, Annett will also sign autographs at Gateway International Raceway on Friday from 6:15-7:15 p.m. on pit road.
Eager to return to Gateway, Annett will look to benefit from his previous track experience. In addition to his 11th place effort there earlier this year, Annett boasts a seventh place Rookie of the Race finish on the 1.25 mile oval in the 2009 Nationwide Series event at Gateway. The 24-year-old driver also has experience there in the Camping World Truck Series where he had a ninth place qualifying effort in 2008 and in the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards where he started third and finished sixth in 2007.
The 32nd of 35 races in the 2010 Nationwide Series season kicks off with practice on Friday from 2:30-4 p.m. followed by final practice from 4:30-6 p.m. Qualifying begins at 10:35 a.m. on Saturday and drivers start their engines for the 200 lap 5-Hour Energy 250 at 3:30 p.m. Final practice, qualifying and the race will air live on ESPN 2. Race coverage begins at 3 p.m. on Saturday. All times are ET.

Paris, France (SportsNetwork.com) - Playing his first tennis in four months,
Marin Cilic returned a winner Monday at the $3.65 million Paris Masters tennis
Cilic returned from a four-month doping ban to beat Dutch qualifier Igor
Sijsling 5-7, 6-1, 6-4 on the indoor hardcourts at Palais Omnisports de Paris-
The 25-year-old Cilic was originally banned for nine months after testing
positive for a banned stimulant, but the Court of Arbitration decided the
penalty was "too severe" and reduced it last week, clearing the way for the
former top-10 Croat to return to action this week.
Up next for Cilic will be fourth seed Juan Martin del Potro, who's fresh off
his title last week in Basel, where he beat Swiss icon Roger Federer in the
final for a second straight year.
Meanwhile, another former top-10 player, Fernando Verdasco, got past Latvian
Ernests Gulbis 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-5) and another Spanish left-hander,
Feliciano Lopez, outlasted Aussie qualifier Bernard Tomic 6-4, 6-7 (4-7), 7-6
(7-1) in Paris.
Also advancing on Day 1 were Colombian qualifier Santiago Giraldo, Czech Lukas
Rosol and Dutch qualifier Robin Haase.
This week's top seeds are former Paris Masters runner-up Rafael Nadal, former
champion Novak Djokovic and reigning champ David Ferrer, who beat Pole Jerzy
Janowicz in last year's finale.

The De-Stress Diet and 5 Foods for a Better Mood
Eat more when you're stressed? You're not alone. In fact, all that stress eating can pack on an additional 11 pounds each year! Most of us are quick to turn to sugar and refined carbs the second tension gets high. When we feel overwhelmed, we seek out comforting food, giving it the power to make us feel better…and then worse.
A national survey conducted by NPR, Harvard School of Public Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, found that most changes to diet occurs during stressful times. And these changes aren't always for the best.
The foods we choose under stress, like chocolate or simple carbohydrates such as bagels or white pasta, often take you on a hormonal roller coaster: surging and crashing hormone and blood sugar levels which leaves you more susceptible to new stresses than when you started. It's a vicious cycle that must be stopped!

I am migrating a generic IMAP server to zimbra for about 30 mailboxes. Using 8.0.0 on Ubuntu 12.04, in the admin web interface in Account Migration, I did the Migration Wizard and 13/30 imports failed to finish. Where can I find logs about which inboxes imported and which failed?
I looked in /var/log and /opt/zimbra/log but couldnt find where the success/fail of these imports are logged. There doesnt seem to be any way to get more info about these imports in the web interface either.

My question is: Does Zimbra install its own fetchmail program?. The reason why I ask is because the fetchmail installed on FC4 does not seem to do anything when run, and when I try to uninstall it (with the intention of re-installing) using yum it indicates some dependencies with Zimbra.
What buffles me most is that there are no errors shown and there is nothing in the log files even though fetchmail is started with the verbose switch on.
Any help?

Fine Print - June 2011
I dont know how much Ill like having Duke Energy Corp. as my power company. Ive been a customer of Raleigh-based Progress Energy Inc., which Duke is proposing to swallow, for so long that I remember when it was called Carolina Power & Light. Weve grown accustomed to each other. But Ill say one thing for Charlotte-based Duke: It sure knows how to electrify any conversation about the environment.
It starts at the top. Duke CEO Jim Rogers (cover story, May 2010) is a guy with an odd, and seemingly contradictory, reputation: Hes environmentally concerned and aware, as well as being a notable spewer of mammoth amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. (Rogers personally doesnt do the spewing, of course; Im talking about his company, whose coal-fired power plants make it one of the most prolific emitters of carbon in the country.) A writer for The New York Times Magazine sought to get to the bottom of this contradiction three years ago, albeit without much success. After pointing out that Rogers hobnobs with environmental activists and generally supports their concerns about climate change, the writer noted that even after eight months of studying and interviewing Rogers, he never once heard the Duke CEO refer to his polar-bear moment the instant when [he] realized the earth is imperiled. Rogers environmentalism isnt passionate, apparently; if anything, its strangely wonky.
Then theres the ongoing saga of the new coal-fired power plant at Dukes Cliffside Steam Station, scheduled to come on line in 2012. Environmentalists hate it, largely because its a $2 billion-plus investment in coal power at a time when climate change is the cause du jour. For its part, Duke Energy points out that the new plant will use the most efficient technologies to curb emissions and will replace older generating units that are less climate-friendly. If it turns out that carbon emissions from Cliffside decrease in the long run, activists have in effect been protesting on behalf of the carbon-spewing status quo and against improvement.
All this brings us to the present. In the interest of not contributing any further to the ravaging of West Virginias landscape, Duke Energy has expressed its desire to stop using mountaintop coal, despite its relative cheapness. But it turns out it cant because regulators like cheap coal more than they like the environment. See what I mean? Duke has a true gift for making things interesting, if not outright bizarre.
Perhaps youve read about the mining of mountaintop coal. It happens mostly in West Virginia, a place that can be reasonably described as a giant lump of coal with a thin veneer of soil covering it. Traditional mining drilling holes deep into a mountainside and hauling coal out is labor-intensive, dangerous and costly. Mountaintop mining is easier, cheaper and requires fewer people. Basically, you cut down all the trees, blast the top off the mountain and haul away the exposed coal. Whats not to like about that? Well, water pollution, for one, as the piles of rubble leach nasty stuff into streams every time it rains. Then theres the fact that youre left with a bunch of decapitated mountains, which doesnt exactly help with tourism and such.
Those problems were enough for Duke to ask its coal suppliers if it was possible to forgo mountaintop coal without prices going up. The answer according to The Charlotte Observer (and Im paraphrasing here) was: Not a chance. The best suppliers could do was to guarantee that 10% of the coal wouldnt come from blasted mountaintops. Above that, the price goes up. North Carolina regulators drove that point home, reminding the Observer that state law requires public utilities to supply power at the lowest possible price meaning its actually illegal for Duke Energy to help the environment by paying a little extra for nonmountaintop coal.
Im always entertained when the law of unintended consequences asserts itself. Who doesnt appreciate the irony of a government that employs thousands of people to prevent environmental degradation in North Carolina also employing a separate group to ensure environmental degradation in West Virginia? Adding to the entertainment was the Sierra Clubs reaction. Its state director opined that Duke needs to move beyond coal and suggested that wind power could fill the gap. A few statistics, harvested from a recent Atlantic magazine article about the energy industry, are in order. At the moment, coal-burning power plants provide 46% of the nations electricity. The next three sources combined nuclear, natural gas and hydroelectric account for 50%. The remaining 4% of electricity is provided by various technologies that can be lumped together in a category called other. Sure, wind power has grown dramatically in the past decade. But its still an other. The magazine notes that a single mine in Kentucky produces enough coal in a day to generate three-quarters as much electricity ... as all the solar and wind facilities in the United States combined.
In short, our need for electricity which can only be met through the burning of coal simply cant be reconciled with our desire to keep carbon out of the air. And thats perhaps the most valuable service Duke Energy provides: With all its talk about the environment, it lays bare that undeniable reality.

Republicans made a lot of fuss about Barack Obama's associations during last year's presidential campaign. Now that same standard might come back to haunt them.
Because Obama attended church where the Rev. Jeremiah Wright preached, the GOP told us it must mean that Obama shared all of Wright's incendiary beliefs about the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the origin of the AIDS virus. Because Obama lived near ex-'60s radical William Ayers and attended some of the same events, they breathlessly added that it must mean Obama approves of blowing up public buildings.
What, then, does that say about Rob Portman, the former GOP congressman who is the odds-on favorite to run for George Voinovich's seat in the U.S. Senate in 2010?
Despite rumors on state and national political blogs, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland told a private gathering in Cincinnati this past weekend that he has no intention of picking State Rep. Jennifer Garrison as his running mate in 2010.
Carl Lindner and Richard Farmer, are you paying attention?
In an exclusive at the Politico Web site this week, reporters obtained a copy of a confidential PowerPoint presentation created by the Republican National Committee about how it intends on raising money during this election cycle.
Now that the U.S. House of Representatives approved a health care reform bill by a 219-212 vote and the Senate appears likely to follow suit, the political wagons are circling in what's sure to be some nasty congressional races this fall.
Republicans, however, shouldn't expect to cruise to victory, and here's why.
It's 72 hours and counting.
That's how long it has been since CityBeate-mailed Mike Wilson, a Republican candidate and Cincinnati Tea Party leader, to learn why he skipped a planned appearance at a candidates' forum Wednesday night in Forest Park. So far, we've received no reply.
As Bernadette Watson decides whether to run for Cincinnati City Council again in 2011, she's keeping busy by helping a former council member get elected to state office.
Watson has been named as campaign manager for Alicia Reece, a Democrat who is seeking to keep the Ohio House 33rd District seat. Reece, an ex-Cincinnati vice mayor, was appointed to the seat in March to replace Tyrone Yates. Yates, who was facing term limits, was appointed to a municipal judgeship.
An organizer of Greater Cincinnati's Tea Party movement is telling its members the Ohio Republican Party chairman is trying to manipulate potential candidates in the race for Ohio auditor to pit two Teabggers against each other and split the vote, clearing the path for the chairman's cousin to be the GOP's nominee in the race for another office.
A pending decision about whether to appeal a federal judge's decision in a disputed election could place Hamilton County taxpayers on the hook for legal fees in the case.
The case involves which provisional ballots to count in the Juvenile Court judicial race between Democrat Tracie Hunter and Republican John Williams from the November 2010 election.
Hunter lost by just 23 votes out of nearly 230,000 ballots cast. Some ballots weren't counted, however, because although they were cast at the correct polling station, they were cast at the wrong precinct table, apparently due to poll worker error. Hunter then filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the board's decision.
U.S. District Court Judge Susan Dlott ruled Feb. 8 that 286 provisional ballots should be counted in the race.
On Monday the Hamilton County Board of Elections split 2-2, along partisan lines, about whether to appeal Dlott's ruling. Because there was a tie vote, the matter goes to Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican who likely will side with his GOP colleagues on the board and order an appeal.
Like the Republicans on the county elections board, Husted has said state law, not a federal judge, should be the final authority on which ballots are counted.
"I am concerned about the continuing involvement of the federal court in prescribing which ballots should and should not be counted in a county judicial race in Ohio," Husted said in January 2011. "As Ohio's chief elections officer, I maintain that it is of utmost importance that we take this stand to preserve the authority of state law to govern state elections, as interpreted by the Ohio Supreme Court."
But the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals already has upheld a ruling by Dlott in the case once before. The appellate court ruled in January 2011 that the board should determine how many ballots were cast due to poll worker error.
The three-judge panel said not counting ballots that were miscast through no fault of the voter would be "fundamentally unfair." Still, it looks like the board will try its luck with the 6th Circuit once again.
It's routine in cases like this for the victor — plaintiff Tracie Hunter, in this instance — to ask the court to order the defendant to pay legal costs. Although the exact amount of legal fees incurred to date wasn't immediately available, it's believed to be in the range of $800,000 to $1.5 million.
If an appeal is pursued, the county could be at risk of paying much more. A lengthy appeal process could easily double what's been spent so far, legal experts said.
The expense comes at a time when Hamilton County commissioners are cutting back sheriff's patrols and other county services to avoid a deficit.
Husted's office hasn't yet received formal notice of the board's tie vote, a staffer said today. When it does, a legal review will be initiated.
"We will make a decision shortly thereafter," said spokesman Matt McClellan. "We hope to make one soon."
Interestingly, Dlott also commented in her ruling on the apparent unconstitutionality of Ohio law.
"Ohio's precinct-based voting system that delegates to poll workers the duty to ensure that voters are directed to the correct precinct but which provides that provisional ballots cast in the wrong precinct shall not be counted under any circumstance, even where the ballot is miscast due to poll-worker error, is fundamentally unfair and abrogates the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of due process of law," the judge wrote.
Dlott said she was unable to order a remedy, however, because the original complaint wasn't based on a due process claim and the plaintiff had failed to notify the Ohio Attorney General, as she were required to do if she intended to challenge the constitutionality of Ohio law.
Since then, though, the notice has been given. Conceivably, Dlott could rule on that issue in the not-too-distant future and order a remedy, namely declaring Ohio's election laws unconstitutional and unenforceable.

Foundation works wonders in helping to smooth out your complexion, hiding imperfections and blemishes, and generally just adding a touch of refinement to your skin. When applied correctly, foundation can be almost undetectable, blending in beautifully with your true skin tone and complexion. You can use foundation to hide sun spots and signs of aging as well as freckles, moles, and other facial marks. When choosing foundation, it is important to select a color that is right for your complexion – one that will blend seamlessly with your skin tone until it is virtually invisible aside from the enhancements it offers your skin.
Foundation products are available in just about every shade to match most skin tones and complexions. You can find luxurious foundation products like Illuminare Cosmetics Foundation, which offers moisturizing properties as well as sun protection with SPF 21. The Illuminare Cosmetics Foundation line includes three individual product lines – Fantastic Finish Foundation, Extra Coverage Foundation, and Ultimate All Day Foundation. The Illuminare Cosmetics Foundation collection includes a wide array of hues ranging from Florentine Fair to Portofino Porcelain, Sienna Sun, Tuscan Toast, Amalfi Alabaster, and even an introductory pack with three middle shades so you can blend and determine the best shade.
The quality of your foundation product directly impacts your appearance. Choosing a fine foundation is one of the first steps in covering up skin imperfections, along with concealer and a great cleansing routine. Check out the offerings in the Illuminare Cosmetics Foundation line to ensure your skin looks radiant and youthful while you also keep it moisturized and protected from the sun.
Illuminare Extra Coverage Foundation Concealer Florentine Fair is a sunscreen makeup with a semi-matte finish and SPF 21 for effective sun protection. This foundation product is oil-free and moisturizes the skin while it blends and perfects your complexion. Illuminare Extra Coverage Foundation Concealers provide light to medium coverage that sufficiently evens your skin tone and texture while delivering a soft and luminous glow. This foundation product works best for those with normal to dry skin. To set the look for a matte finish, simply use a translucent face powder following application.
The Illuminare Ultimate All Day Foundation / Concealer Florentine Fair product offers a matte finish with SPF 21 in a squeeze tube. The oil-absorbing properties are a welcome change from standard foundation products and the water resistant nature of this cosmetic formula prevents it from rubbing off or smearing with perspiration. Illuminare Ultimate All Day Foundation products also will not clog your pores, cause creases, or change colors throughout the day. Oily skin can benefit from this foundation since it absorbs oil and reduces shine without additional powder.
Illuminare Extra Coverage Foundation Concealer Portofino Porcelain is a lighter shade offered in Illuminare's popular foundation line. Use this foundation to conceal acne, redness, and even under eye circles.

Hipster Credit card Wallet
Fantastic, while everyone else is going smaller I went bigger and love it. The small wallets just stack all your contents on top of each other. The hipster is a larger size but made to stay thin. Got it monogrammed again, looks great. Plus all my money stays in!
I would buy it again easily.

The perfect wallet?
I spent a month looking for the perfect wallet. I really think I found it in this wallet. Has a large number of credit card slots. Extremely well made and attractive. Fits in my back pocket like it was made to be there. And I like my initials being stamped into it. Will see how well it holds up but it looks like it is made to last over time.

Excellent Quality wallet
Have had two of these since college, a new one every 15 years or so, fantastic wallet, excellent durability, and develops character with age. This has just the right number of card slots, and spreads them out just enough to make it not too thick in your back pocket.

In Windows 7, you have much more control over the programs and files that appear on the Start menu. The Start menu is essentially a blank slate that you can organize and customize to suit your preferences.
Windows 7 introduces Jump Lists for both the Start menu and the taskbar. Jump Lists are lists of recent items, such as files, folders, or websites, organized by the program you use to open them. In addition to being able to open recent items using a Jump List, you can also pin favorite items to a Jump List, so that you can easily access the programs and files you use every day.
By default, no programs or files are pinned to the Start menu to begin with. After you open a program or an item for the first time, it will appear in the Start menu, but you can choose to remove it, or you can pin it to the Start menu so that it always appears there. You can also adjust the number of shortcuts that appear in the Start menu so that it doesn't get too large. For more information about working with Jump Lists, see Using Jump Lists to open programs and items.
In previous versions of Windows, managing your files meant organizing them in different folders and subfolders. In Windows 7, you can also use libraries to organize and access files by type, regardless of where they're stored.
A library gathers files from different locations and displays them as a single collection, without moving them from where they're stored. There are four default libraries (Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos), but you can create new libraries for other collections. The Documents, Music, and Pictures libraries appear on the Start menu by default. Like other items on the Start menu, you can add or remove libraries, or customize their appearance. For more information about working with libraries, see Libraries: frequently asked questions.
The Start menu includes a search box that you can use to find files, folders, programs, and e-mail messages stored on your computer. When you start typing a word or phrase in the search box, the search begins automatically, and the search results temporarily fill the Start menu space above the search box.
The search results are organized into groups, depending on what kind of item each result is and where it's located on your computer. For example, you might see your search results grouped by Programs, by Control Panel tasks, by library (such as Documents or Pictures), and by Files. The top search results—but not all matches—for each group are displayed under a group heading. You can click an individual result to open that program or file, or you can click a group heading to see the complete list of search results for that group in Windows Explorer.
The Shut down button appears in the lower-right corner of the Start menu.
When you click Shut down, your computer closes all open programs and shuts down your computer. You can choose to have this button perform a different action, such as putting your computer into sleep mode or allowing a different user to log on. For more information about changing the Power button options, see Turning off your computer properly.
Some familiar buttons have been changed or removed from the Start menu in Windows 7 (but you can add them back if you want to).
The Printers button is now the Devices and Printers button. You can click this button to display a list of all peripheral devices connected to your computer, including printers, faxes, monitors, and your mouse.
The Network button has been removed from the Start menu, but it appears in the navigation pane of Windows Explorer. You can click the Network button to display a list of all the computers connected to your current network.
The Recent Items button has been removed from the Start menu, although the files and programs you've recently opened will still appear in the Jump List for the Start menu automatically. You can also add the Recent Items button back to the Start menu if you prefer.
You might also notice that the classic Start menu option, which gave your Start menu the look and functionality of previous versions of Windows, is no longer available in Windows 7. For more information about adding and removing buttons on the Start menu, see Customize the Start menu.
The Start menu has a new search feature so you can easily find the programs or folders you're looking for. The information is organized more efficiently than in previous versions of Windows, and there are new buttons for locking your computer or putting it into a low-power state called sleep mode. Of course, the Start menu is still the place to find and organize your program shortcuts and links to favorite places. It's also still the place to turn your computer off or log off.
The Search box is one of the most convenient ways to find things on your computer. The exact location of the items doesn't matter—the Search box will scour your programs and all of the folders in your personal folder (which includes Documents, Pictures, Music, Desktop, and other common locations). It will also search your e‑mail messages, saved instant messages, appointments, and contacts.
As you type, the Start menu changes to show the best possible results, with priority given to the programs you open most frequently. As you type more letters, the results narrow until there are only a couple of items left in the list.
You don't have to know the exact name of the program or other item you want to find. You can also search for a type of program. For example, if you don't know the name of your e‑mail program, you can try typing e‑mail to get the right result.
The Run command is no longer on the Start menu, but you can use the Search box on the Start menu in place of the Run command. You can also add the Run command back to Start menu. For more information, see Customize the Start menu.
All Programs on the Start menu is now a single list of folders and programs. When you click a folder in All Programs, the folder expands in place within the list. To get back to the Start menu, just click Back.
When you click the Power button on the Start menu,
saves your work and programs just as they are, and then puts the computer into sleep mode.
If you have a mobile PC, and your battery is running low or the mobile PC has been asleep for a set amount of time, Windows
saves your work to your hard disk, and then turns off your mobile PC.

Indie Theater Roundup: 7 Movies to See This Week
The weather outside is frightful, the fiery resurgence of Mike Singletary's 49ers so delightful, but if you've no place to go, check out one of these fine films at the city's venerable collection of indie theaters.

When: Dec. 9
Indie Theater Roundup: 7 Movies to See This Week
The fifth San Francisco International Animation Festival kicks off tonight at the Embarcadero with Here Comes the Waves: The Hazards of Love Visualized, a colorfully eccentric interpretation (by four different artists) of the acclaimed 2009 album by indie-rock stalwarts The Decemberists. The festivities wind to a close Sunday with Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then, Brent Green's moving tribute to a Kentucky hardware-store clerk who, during the 1970s, built a crazy-quilt house to cure his wife's cancer. Elsewhere:
When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong: Sundance Standout 'Four Lions' Makes Bay Area Debut with South Asian Film Festival
It sounds like an invitation for righteous outrage – an unflinching comedy about jihad-minded suicide bombers determined to strike a blow for Islam but too dim to settle on a plan. Incredibly, first-time feature director Christopher Morris, who co-wrote Four Lions with Sam Bain (BBC's Peep Show) and In the Loop screenwriters Jesse Armstrong and Simon Blackwell, pulls it off, with a hilariously biting satire that turns unexpectedly poignant when his terrorist wannabes stumble into the final phase of their half-baked operation.

Where is the device wipe button on the Mobile Preferences screen for users? Does it only appear if the device actually supports remote wiping? I have a Droid running 2.2 and don't see it. One of the other guys here syncs his iPod Touch and he doesn't see the button either.
Do I have to enable that feature somehow?

Even if you do that, u will never be able to use as much disk space as before. 1 of the main reasons I paid to get the HR34 was for its amount of disk space for recordings, now they slashed it after they got my money. That is NOT ok with me and shouldn't be with anyone. That is false advertising! at the very least they could have warned us about this loss of space so we could prepare for it or let us have the option to opt-out of the software update
For the life of me, I can't see why a person who does a lot of recording on a 34 doesn't use an external HDD. My first thought when the 34 was released was the stock internal HDD was too small for five tuners. I'd have at least a 2TB on that, if I were you. Had you done that when you got the 34, you wouldn't be having the problems you're having now.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – The first single from late singer Michael Jackson's posthumous album was released ahead of the record release later this month.
"Love Never Felt So Good," originally written and recorded by Jackson in 1983, is the debut single for "Xscape," released on May 13 by Epic Records in partnership with Jackson's estate. The song will be available for purchase starting at midnight Friday.
The album will feature eight previously unreleased songs from Jackson that were recorded between 1983 and 1999.
Singer Justin Timberlake revealed he is featured on "Love Never Felt So Good" in an Instagram post on Thursday.
Jackson, known as the 'King of Pop' and one of the most influential artists in music, having sold 1 billion records worldwide, died in 2009 at age 50 in Los Angeles from an overdose of the anesthetic Propofol. The powerful drug was given to him by his personal physician while he was rehearsing for a series of 50 comeback concerts in London.

The University of Texas says all university buildings have been cleared and are reopening after a bomb threat prompted an evacuation of the Austin campus.
The university posted on its website that all classes have been canceled for the remainder of the day Friday but other university activities will resume by 5 p.m.
The school had issued and alert shortly before 10 a.m. Friday telling people to immediately evacuate all campus buildings and "get as far away as possible" after the school received a phoned-in bomb threat.

Skin cleansers are alkaline in nature, meaning that they have a higher pH than your skin. Although thorough cleansing is a vital part of a daily beauty routine, it can upset the pH balance of your skin. Rinsing your face with water alone will not correct its PH balance. Water can also leave behind impurities that clog the pores. If you moisturize immediately after rinsing your face with water, these impurities remain on the skin, where they can cause irritation, breakouts, and blemishes. After you have cleansed your skin, use HydroPeptide Toners and Clarifiers to restore its natural PH balance and remove any impurities. Skin is then refreshed and ready to receive further treatments and hydration.
The philosophy behind HydroPeptide Toners and Clarifiers is to simplify skin care, improving the condition of the skin in as few steps as possible. These effective products not only tone the skin, they also exfoliate away impurities, fight acne-causing bacteria, and prevent collagen loss. With daily use, HydroPeptide Toners and Clarifiers reduce wrinkles and even out skin tone, leaving skin fresh, radiant, and glowing with health.
Toning is a vital step in every daily skin care routine. Without it, residue from cleanser or impurities from tap water can remain on the skin and mixed in with treatments and moisturizers that follow cleansing. These impurities can irritate the skin and may lead to the formation of bumps, blemishes, and breakouts. HydroPeptide Toners and Clarifiers revive, refresh, and energize the skin. They promote collagen formation and strengthen the skin, leaving it better able to absorb the benefits of further preparations. By including these effective toners and clarifiers in your daily routine, you can boost the condition of your complexion.
Improve the condition of your skin with daily use of HydroPeptide Tone Anti-Wrinkle Brightening Toner. This refreshing toner reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, exfoliates the skin, and prevents collagen loss. Peptides and neuropeptides work to restore the skin's natural firmness and elasticity. Bilberry, chamomile, and eucalyptus extracts soothe the skin, reducing pore size and combating bacteria which can cause acne. Extracts of bearberry, licorice, and mulberry fade age spots and promote an even skin tone. Sugar extracts and lactic acid slough away impurities, leaving the skin open to receive optimal benefit from the next steps in your skin care regimen. Simply smooth this energizing formula across the face and neck twice a day, using a cotton pad. For problem areas, such as age spots and hyperpigmentation, soak a cotton swab with this lightening toner and apply topically. This extra attention will improve the tone and texture of your complexion.

Winter Storm Diverts Caravan
This weekend's weather storm across the Midwest will shorten the Royals latest Caravan by a day. The team, in consultation with radio affiliates in Nebraska, has cancelled first day activities of the planned three-day winter caravan trip. "We don't want to take any chances with our players and staff on the trip," said Toby Cook, Royals Vice President of Public Relations, "and we certainly don't want to put our fans at risk."
Cook said Senior Director of Public Relations, Lora Grosshans, is making arrangements for activities Tuesday and Wednesday. An 11 am autograph session at Wal-Mart in Grand Island, Neb., has been cancelled for Tuesday, but the caravan should be able to continue its regular schedule Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday.
Royals First Baseman Ryan Shealy will likely join the caravan Tuesday. His flight out of Florida Sunday night was cancelled. Cook said the Royals standout prospect Alex Gordon might not be able to make the trip at all.
"We'll make it up to the fans and our radio affiliates somehow," Cook said.
Royals Pitcher Ryan Braun, Royals Hall of Fame Second Baseman Frank White and Royals broadcaster Ryan Lefebvre will still travel with the group to Nebraska.

Hot Readers' Rides - Real-World Classic TruckingWritten by on March 12, 2013 More Readers' Rides
Eric & Nancy Brolund
Tucson, Arizona
Dave Brolund just recently finished this good-looking GMC in memory of his dad who passed away in 1987. Eric's dad had owned a '66 Chevy pickup that Eric was lucky enough to inherit. Unfortunately in a fit of temporary insanity he sold it a few years later. In 2007 he ran across this bone-stock GMC that reminded him of the ol' Chevy so he decided to buy it and rebuild it as he would liked to have done to the original pickup.
Dave completely redid the GMC from top to bottom, installing a 385-horse 350 backed by a 700-R4, power steering, disc brakes, air conditioning, fresh bodywork and paint, and brand-new bed wood and strips – all on his own (with his better half's blessing) in his home garage.
1950 Ford F-1
Dave White
Plano, Texas
Dave White found this baby on a back road while out for a cruise with his dad and brother. He'd jokingly said before they went out that he might happen to see an old truck on the side of the road that he'd just have to buy. Dave swears that no less than 10 minutes later they stumbled upon this F-1 with a for-sale sign in its window. They asked a guy on the property if it was his and he said "No, but the owner will be here any minute!" Guess it was meant to be, so Dave bought it the next day. So far, Dave's done basic maintenance stuff: fluid change, brakes, tires, and as a bonus he added the cool retro-style door graphics.
The pickup still runs an 8BA 239ci flathead, four-speed straight-cut gearbox, and the stock rearend. Dave says everyone asks when he's putting in late-model running gear. He answers, "How many trucks do you see these days that HAVEN'T had the motor swapped?" That said, he has tossed around the idea of restoring it, but it has so much character he's just gonna enjoy driving it as it is.
1967 Ford F-100
Robert Walker
Ever since Robert Walker first set his eyes on this 1967 F-100 at an egg farm in north Alabama nearly 30 years ago, he was determined to become the next owner of this classic. In November of 2011, his dream came true. The yellow farm truck was for sale and Robert quickly became its new proud owner. Within weeks, he placed his truck in the skilled hands of Jerry Williams, a longtime classic car restorer.
During the next several months, the pickup underwent a complete frame-off restoration and was repainted in its original Springtime Yellow color. To complete the restoration project, Robert took his prized pickup to owner Edwin Bellew of Highland Auto Service in order to replace its worn-out 360 V-8. Edwin easily convinced Robert that his '67 "deserved" a quality engine that mirrored the quality bodywork. Needless to say, within a few weeks this yellow beauty was upgraded with a 390 V-8 Jasper powerplant. Now, Robert's truck is alive and well inside and out!
1956 Ford F-100
Dave Bodak
Upstate New York
In October of 2006, Dave Bodak purchased this '56 F-100 (an Arkansas native that'd made its way to New York state about 25-30 years ago). When Dave got his hands on it, it had already been treated to a new paintjob and some minor mechanical work, but there was still much to be done. With a lot of help from a few relatives, he installed new brakes, fuel lines, wheel bearings, and tuned up its original Y-block V-8 – good enough to allow it to be driven for a couple of years.
Dave planned on rebuilding the truck a bit at a time. For example, one winter he removed springs, hangers, tie-rod ends, kingpins and more, all of which were rebuilt or replaced with new. Next time he completed a total engine rebuild, installed a rebuilt two-barrel carb, and performed a quick rebuild of the three-on-the-tree tranny.
It was in between a couple of these projects in October of 2008 that Dave found the second love of his life. About a year and a half later, he and his girlfriend took the pickup out for a drive with the usual fishing trip in mind. After an enjoyable drive, the pair found a fairly remote spot and began to fish. A little while later, with neither of 'em getting any bites, Dave told his girlfriend to reel in her line so he could change her lure – without her seeing, he pulled out a rather large and obnoxious-looking engagement ring, one that had been used as a party favor, attached it to the end of her line (no way he was going to risk having her toss the real one into the water), and recast it. A short time later she reeled it in again, saw the faux ring, and asked what was up – Dave then pulled the real ring out of his pocket and popped the question.
Their wedding took place July 23, 2011, and after much planning and preparation Dave realized how much he wanted the truck to be a part of their special day so his final project before the wedding involved a new interior. After new padding and seat cover, a rubber floor mat, a few heater parts, and some sandblasting and paint, the F-100 was ready. His bride arrived at the wedding with her father behind the wheel and Dave said he couldn't have been happier to see the two loves of his life – his F-100 and the woman he now calls his wife.
1970 Ford F-100
Don Castle
Bonanza, Oregon
Here's a look at Don Castle's '70 Ford F-100. Don bought it new in October 1969 (one of the first of the 1970 production run). Don says the Ford has been used as an everyday driver, getting him to work and back, plus weekend duty pulling his boat, his race car, and the occasional hunting trip as well. Heck, the ol' girl was even used to teach both of his kids how to drive. At the time it was equipped with a 302, a four-speed, and a 9-inch rearend. Along the way, Don gave it to one of his sons to drive when he was 18. He got it back seven years later in 2000.
A few years after that Don decided it was time for a bit of an update. As often happens, the update turned into a complete frame-off restoration. Don's F-100 now sports a fresh big-block Mopar and four-speed pirated out of his race car. The new paint is House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl highlighted with ghost flames. While he was at it he replaced the old oak bed with custom juniper wood he had cut by hand. Now at 70 years old, Don and the family enjoy showing it at local show and shines, cruise nights and plain old cruisin'. By the way, Don's pickup shows a bit over a half-million miles on the odometer.

With the 65th Map of the Week we continue in the land of Slovania, a corner of the fallen Æsir Empire that is not ruled by forces of evil but that is not necessarily good aligned either. Today's map shows us Newhouse, the royal seat of the Slovanian kings. Key to the Map of Newhouse:
1. Wizard Bořivoj's Compound. The wizard Bořivoj does magical research here, he sells magical services and, for high fees, he also trains natural sorcerers to become wizards and magi. Bořivoj seldom hires out his personal services to customers, but he does sell the services of wizards, magi and sorcerers who are in his service. He also accepts commissions to produce magical items and to ensorcel non-magical items with arcane powers. The tower is 75 feet/22.5 m high.
2. Dark Road Inn Stable.
3. Dark Road Inn Brewery. The inn brews its own dark beer and sells it in the Bridge Tavern across the road and to some of the other taverns in the city. The brewmistress is 38-year-old Dorota, a human female master artisan. She employs two laborers, both human male commoners. Her brewery also has the city's only malting house. All other brewhouses buy their malt from her.
4. Dark Road Inn. The inn is Newhouse's elite hostelry. It is owned by one of the city's biggest business magnates, Řehoř, who is the devil Gadreel in disguise as a human male merchant-thief. His manager and innkeeper, Květoslava, operates the Dark Road for him. The inn has two suites, six double rooms and 14 single rooms. The suites cost 30 gold pieces per week or 100 gold pieces per month. Meals in the public room begin at 8 bronze pieces and can go as high as 1 gold piece and a silver piece. The dark beer from the house brewery costs 4 copper pieces per pint/half-liter tankard. Imported Windland wines run from 1 to 40 gold pieces per quart/liter bottle. Spirits from the royal distillery cost a silver piece per shot/0.1 liter glass.
5. Dark Road Inn Woodshed.
6. Market Square. The open markets of Slovania are the main retail source of contraband and loot from the Æsir ruins and small, illegal merchandise smuggled in from the North Kingdom and the Dreadlands. It is conceivable that almost anything but high-powered magical items might be found in the market stands.
7. Ljuba the Wise. Ancient Ljuba is the last in a family line of Slovanian spellcasters. Almost any knowledge that is worth having and knowing in Slovania either is known to one of the two seers or is accessible in their library. Prices for their services begin at 1 gold piece. There is no upper limit.
8. Butcher Michal. Master Butcher Michal, a rotund 45-year-old human male artisan, is the fifth in his family line to own and operate Newhouse's biggest butcher shop and slaughtering operation. Michal sells fresh meats to the public rooms in the city that serve food. Butcher shop customers also can order fresh meat in advance or buy it if any is available that has not yet been packed or processed, but most meat is packed in barrels in salt brine, smoked or made into smoked sausage to preserve it.
9. Tinker Nadá. Nadá, a human female artisan, is the proverbial jack of all trades and master of none. She repairs things, almost anything, but she makes nothing new. On the side, she also sells some second-hand goods that she receives from customers as barter payment. Her only employee is her laborer, Mikulá, a human male commoner.
10. Market Bakery . Master Baker Gizela, a human female artisan in her early 50s, owns the northernmost of two bakeries in the city's center. She has a retail shop and sells to most of the eateries in the northern part of town. Her baked goods also are sold on the market square.
11. Chandler Zikmund. The bespectacled, 77-year-old Zikmund, a human male artisan, is in his last years as Newhouse's sole candlemaker. Zikmund's eyesight is failing, and he soon will be unable to see well enough to make quality goods. His 52-year-old son, Maxim, also a master chandler and human male artisan, wishes his father no ill but is eager for him to step aside so that he can modernize the business.
12. Northland Inn. A quiet hostelry, the Northland seeks no adventurers as guests and refuses to book those who arrive wearing armor or bearing any weapons except those a traveler might carry in self defense. The innkeeper and owner is Ferdinand, a shy human male merchant in his early 40s. He has four double rooms at 5 bronze pieces per person per night and 10 singles at 6 bronze pieces a night. The public room is run by his brother, Felix, an outgoing human male merchant. Drinks are limited to the house brew, at 3 copper pieces per pint/half-liter tankard, and spirits from the royal distillery, at 1 to 3 bronze pieces per shot/0.1 liter glass. Food runs from three to seven bronze pieces per serving. Felix also has a small brewhouse operated by his wife, brewmistress Ester, a human female artisan.
13. Terezas General Store. Tereza, a human female merchant in her late 40s, sells a wide variety of items except for meat, fruit and vegetables. Food items are limited to trail rations and the like. Adventurers heading out of town should be able to find almost any normal gear they need in this three-story shop. Even some dried healing herbs and potions are available. The eastern half of the ground floor is devoted to saddles, tack, saddlebags, back packs, boots and other leather goods suited for the trail.
14. Temple of the Mother's Waters. This temple serves the power Moko, who really is the Earth Mother. The fact that the Aleksandreska call her Moko never has impressed the Earth Mother. She ignores those who consider themselves to be her priests and priestesses. As a result, the clerics of the temple have no command of clerical magic. However, they do know how to charge the waters of life and death, and all priests and priestesses are, in fact, herbal healers rather than clerics.
15. Goodwater River.
16. Millstream.
17. King's Cove. Only King Jáchym, his family and his guests are allowed on or in the cove.
18. Royal Brewery. The court brewery is the city's second largest, but it still is considerably smaller than the brewery of the Dark Road Inn (Location No. 2). Alewife Vendula, the master brewmistress, is a human female artisan in her early 50s.
19. Royal Distillery. Unlike the royal brewery, the distillery is a monopoly business.
20 Royal Castle Complex. The castle complex of the Slovanian kings, currently of King Jáchym. The central building is the palace. The royal administration is housed in the building to the left or west. Servants and staff live in the building to the right or east. Jáchym is not a king who is inclined to entertain socially. Therefore, the counts and the margrave usually are the only guests who ever enter the palace. The king receives official visitors in the reception hall of the administration building.
21. Royal Grain Mill. The royal master miller is the 60-year-old widow Svatava, a human female artisan who followed in her late husband's footsteps. King Jáchym already has agreed that when Svatava retires in two years, her son, Master Miller Matou a 38-year-old human male artisan, will succeed her.
22. River House Bordello. Another of the operations of the devil Gadreel in his disguise as one of the city's biggest business magnates, Řehoř, a supposed human male merchant-thief. The madame of the house, Slavěna, a 50-year-old human female thief, runs it.
23. River Inn. This rather basic and economical inn is owned by Ignác, the 55-year-old human male warrior who owns and operates the New Dawn Mercenary Society (Location No. 24). The inn specializes in housing adventurers and mercenaries. The 12 single rooms cost 5 bronze pieces a night. There are no doubles. Meals run between 3 and 9 bronze pieces.
24. New Dawn Mercenary Society. This rather strange organization was founded and is owned and operated by Ignác, the 55-year-old retired human male warrior who also owns the River Inn (Location No. 23). Ignác, who seldom is seen outside of his compound, explains little about his organization. He maintains a band of his own here in the society's compound that he sends out to do commissioned work, usually to eliminate marauding bands of orcs or brigands or to destroy rings of thieves in cities and towns. He also has a number of solo headhunters whom he sends.
25. Drowning Draug Tavern. When adventurers, soldiers, mercenaries and the like finish eating and drinking in the public room of the River Inn, the diehards among them tend to gravitate to the Drowning Draug for a serious nightcap. None of the "decent" population of Newhouse ever passes the tavern's threshold. The tavern is owned by a 66-year-old retired human female ranger named Darja. It's no secret that bar brawls are frequent in the Drowning Draug. At times, they even come to a fatal ending. The guests understand that it's in their own best interests to pay for Darja's damages. The watch usually has no interested for the bar corpses. Such deaths usually are written off as self-inflicted accidents.
26. Řehoř's Mansion. Inside the gate, one can see a large mansion and two towers. The one to the north is 80 feet/24 m high. The smaller southern tower is 60 feet/18 m high. The walls and roofs of all three structures are shielded on the inside with lead to prevent seers from using divination magic to see what's inside. Few Slovanians ever have been inside of this compound.
27. Jolana's Bakery. Master Baker Jolana, a 40-year-old human female artisan, owns and operates the second of two bakeries in the inner city. She sells her baked goods over the counter in the bakery shop and she delivers to inns and taverns in the southern half of town.
28. Bohdan's Wagons. Master Wainwright, a 55-year-old human male artisan, is the only inner city maker of wagons and carts.
29. Northwestern Foundry. The ore of copper and tin taken from the illegal mines in the mountains above Minadoka is made into bronze in ovens fired by coal taken from the same mining region. The foundry is a national operation owned by the crown. The royal manager is Klaudie, a 52-year-old female merchant.
30. Vanda's Woodworks. This operation belongs to the 48-year-old human female artisan Vanda, who is a double master, as a carpenter and joiner. Outside of the shop, Vanda's carpentry crews construct wooden building frames and the like. In the shop, her joiners make furniture and other wooden objects.
31. Gabriel's Weaponworks. Master armor maker Gabriel, a human male, and his human female wife, Master Weaponsmith Marta, both artisans, make the bronze weapons and armor used by the army and the watch. They also are the main makers of weapons and armor for private customers in Newhouse. Gabriel and Marta can make and repair master quality weapons and armor.
32.-34. Warehouses. All three warehouses belong to the trading companies across the road: No. 32 belongs to Distant Trails Trading, No. 33 to Windland Overland and No. 34 to the Slovanian Merchants League. Each warehouse is watched around the clock by three guards apiece, all human male and female warriors.
35.-37. Distant Trails Trading. Exactly who or what owns this trading company is uncertain, but it seems certain that Count Arnot of the River County has a substantial interest in it. Ostensibly, the company transports ore and coal in heavy duty wagons from Minadoka to Newhouse and bronze products and other wares back to Minadoka on the return trip.
38.-40. Windland Overland. Little is known in Slovania about this trading company, nor has anyone asked a lot of questions. It's a foreign operation that claims to be based in the small coastal town of Dark Mountains in northwestern Windland. Windland Overland does both honest and dishonest business in Slovania. On the honest side, it is one of the main transporters of goods between Slovania and Windland. On the shadier side, it's one of the big customers of Distant Trails Trading for forbidden wares from the North Kingdom.
41.-43. Royal Trading Co.. Slovania's largest trading company is headquartered here in Newhouse. Despite its name, the domestic company belongs to neither the king nor the crown. Instead, it is a national transportation operation jointly controlled by the crown, the four counties and the Border March, with the king, the burgomaster, the counts and the margrave all having a say in its dealings. The national manager is the 42-year-old Olívie, a human female merchant.
44. Royal Granary. Agricultural goods that are tithed to the crown from farms in the royal district within a 5-mile/8 km radius of Newhouse are stored here.
45. Royal Ministry of Finance. Royal Minister of Finance Radek, a 62-year-old human male merchant-warrior, has the primary responsibility of assessing items for tax value and collecting taxes and tithes. He has a large staff of assessors and tax collectors, but most work in the field and not in the city headquarters..
46. Dark Temple. This location is not publicly known as the Dark Temple. Most residents of Newhouse have no idea that a temple is on the site. Instead, it's referred to as Milue's Wizard Tower. Milue, a 76-year-old human female, is not exactly a wizard but rather a black necromancer. Recently, she found what she believes may be her salvation after admitting the disciples of the dark draug Mýsing in the Æsir ruins and hearing their word. Milue has become a high priestess in waiting in Mýsing's Society of Immortal Darkness, the developing new dark religion that is intended to make a deity of Mýsing..
47. City Hall. The ground floor and second story of city hall house the governmental administration. The ground floor also houses the duty station of the city watch. The watch has its administration and sleeping areas for watch members on standby duty on the third story. The cellar dungeon level is the city jail, which is run by the watch.
48. Royal Prison. This is the national prison where all hardened criminals serving sentences of five years and more are sent. (Those serving lesser sentences are confined in city jails.) The prison is an unpleasant place, to say the least, bit it has no torture chambers or places where death sentences are executed. Both are outlawed in Slovania under the terms of Aleksandra's royal charter. The prison cells 14 on each floor are on the second through fifth stories. Six solitary confinement cells are in the cellar dungeon level.
49. Slovanian Textiles. The spinning mill weaves linen out of the flax from farms in the Leipt Valley north of town. The spinning mill is in the upper (northwestern) building. The lower (southeastern) building is a warehouse where both raw materials and finished goods are stored. The company is a cooperative owned by the farmers who grow the flax. The manager is Master Weaver Nora, a 56-year-old human female artisan.
50. Bridge Tavern. The small watering hole is open only evenings. It's a place where managers, merchants and other business people tend to gather for a night cap before heading home after a day's work. Scuttlebutt is limited mostly to news of commerce and trade. The owner and only person working on the premises is tavernkeep Kazimer, a 58-year-old human male merchant. He serves ale from the royal brewery at 3 copper pieces per quart/half-liter tankard and spirits from the royal distillery at two to four bronze pieces per shot/0.1 liter glass.
51. Cobbler Abrahám. Abrahám, a 57-year-old human male artisan, is the shoemaker for Newhouse's elite, moneyed set. He makes excellent, luxury quality leather shoes and boots that he sells at proud prices.
52. Antonín's Maps. Antonín, a 74-year-old human male scholar, is a retired adviser to the kings who makes maps more as a hobby than a profession. His business has too few customers for him to make a living with it. For nearly two decades, Antonín has collected information on the surrounding lands from merchants, soldiers and adventurers. Once he has sufficient and corroborated information about an area, he makes a map of it. He has reliable and relatively accurate maps of all of Slovania and the trails southward to Windland as well as the smuggling trail from Minadoka to the North Kingdom. Antonín also has mapped various areas of the ruins of the Æsir Empire, but most areas there remain unmapped, although he has produced excellent maps of the northern lands before the empire failed. Most of his few customers are looters going into the fallen empire to seek treasure or adventurers planning to enter the Æsir ruins. Antonín always tells his customers to what degree his maps are reliable.
53. Mother Aneka's Medicine. Mother Aneka, an 82-year-old female human healer, and her daughter, Apolena, a 59-year-old female human healer, make Newhouse's herbal medicines. Neither of them does healing work. They devote all of their time to making potions, poultices and the like. Many of their raw materials come from their herbal garden on the west (right) side of their house, but they also buy other plant materials from farmers and from rangers who work in the Southwood.
54. Libor's Haberdashery. Master Tailor Libor, a 53-year-old human male artisan, not only makes fine, expensive apparel for Newhouse's wealthy class, but he also sells dry goods from other areas include coveted and fashionable but illegal items smuggled in from the vampire draug kingdom to the north.
55. Blacksmith Emil. Master Blacksmith Emil, a 42-year-old human male artisan, makes all types of heavy to light metal items, and he shoes horses. However, his shop does no work with weapons or armor.
56. Jeweler Denisa . Denisa, a 61-year-old human female artisan, makes jewelry, deals in precious stones and metals and changes money in those rare cases when foreign coins come to town. She employs six guards, all human male and female warriors. They work in three shifts daily; two always are on guard at any given time.
57. Garrison. The headquarters of King Jáchym's small army. The commander is Rút, a human female warrior. She has 75 human male and female warriors under her command in Newhouse. The barracks are in this building.
58. Garrison Stall.
59. Garrison Headquarters. Rút employs four civilian clerks here, all human male and female merchants.
60. Guard Towers. The upper levels of the tower between the castle and the garrison are used by King Jáchym's court wizard, Oleg, a 66-year-old human male wizard.

Price Paid: $119 ea
Not too good of tents as poles break, shock cords snap and fly rips easliy.
- Nice size— sleeps three Scouts with gear for weekend
- Bad poles
- Bad shock cords
- Bad warranty
Bought 13 of these for Scout Troop. Before using sprayed each one with 3 cans of camp dry for water repellency. Inside and out. They have been used about 8-10 times in last two years on 2 week long camps and rest weekend camps but not abused. Have been in normal weather nothing hazardous.
Have had three poles break without cause, two shock cords in poles break without cause, and one rain fly ripped due to pole breaking. All poles have broken in same place., about 3-4 inches from the end. All other poles do not return to straight shape after being in dome shape during setup after about 7 days.

Strongly do not recommend as all poles break. Have replaced a couple of times. The tent should have been recalled.

Price Paid: $125
Owned for 1 year, used monthly for camping with Boy Scouts. Bought a Eureka because the boys' outfitter tents ($300+) were so well built... This is more of a family tent.
Headroom - Awesome. Space inside great for one, holds full size cot and a camp chair to be my little office, great for week long summer camp. Two full size cots fits but then is cramped, only do this occasionally with camping with family. When I sleep on the floor on a pad or hiking cot, feels huge.
Poles - worst fiberglass poles I have ever seen. Don't know if they are overstressing them by how they bend over the top. The poles don't look as if they were glassed all the way through. They bend too much after awhile. The small poles front and back did not survive a mild storm, but keep them, they are handy to use as splints when the main poles go.
Both main poles have broken at the same place, just over the top of the arch. Depending on how the pole breaks it rips through the fly, which IS NOT rip stop nylon.
Zippers are okay, have to move them carefully so they don't jam. One unzipped itself before the zipper, so occasionally I have to force the zipper backwards to fix it. Wish it had the same oversized zippers the Scouts A frames do.
Troubles aside, have not seen anything better that meets my requirements for one person setup and not TOO heavy. Getting some replacement pole sections for the main poles, will probably add Rip Stop nylon panels where the fly is duct taped.

Design: three season freestanding dome

Used this tent for 4 days in Yellowstone (Sept). Tent was roomy, easy to set up. Liked the inside storage pouches and loops for hanging up small LED lights. Had one night of strong rain...no major leaks. Noted that there was a little dripping from roof where tent poles touched the seam. (Would reinforce seams with silcon spray).
Temps at night got down to 35-38 degrees and cold air would flow down from the tarp covered windows. Note that two window panels zip close and the other two are covered via the outside tarp cloth (they do not zip close)so it got chilly inside the tent. This is a 3 season tent provided that all three seasons stay above 40 degrees.
Great tent for "car" camping. Poles are too heavy (IMO) for backpacking.

It's ok, but i wouldn't buy another one. As first time campers, we appreciated the space and ease of set-up. But the poles are garbage.
After the first use, I had to replace both canopy poles and one of the main poles. During a windy rainstorm, we got wet because of a poor design. I now realize a full-size fly is best. In the end, you get what you pay for.

Design: 3-season quality built freestanding dome
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: VERY EASY SETUP
Weight: 11 lbs
Price Paid: $50 (5 yrs ago)
We are very impressed with this tent, having put it thru its paces now for five years. This is a quality built and reliable workhorse car camping dome tent you can expect to last a lifetime.
We consider it very roomy for two adults, their gear, and plus a child. Obviously no 9' X 9' tent is practical as a "5 person" tent.
This tent sets up easily, within 5 minutes when my wife and I team up on it. Do note this tent thankfully does NOT have the long sleeves (pain to feed dome poles thru). It only has the one hooking loop at its peak, plus the clips. This tent is stable. Good quality construction, for example, door zippers that don't bind and open up with an easy swipe of arm...and the zippers keep on working year after year!
While we got this on sale five years ago for about $50, it looks like the best pricing now is about $90, including the $10 rebate.
Summary: STRONG RECOMMEND as a sturdy quality-built car camping dome tent.

Ease of Setup: very easy, one person
Weight: 9lbs.
Price Paid: $100
After my surprisingly, long lasting, non-leaking no brand tent finally gave up I went shopping for a car camping tent I can set up myself. I ended up with this one after reading some reviews of Eureka tents and talking to a friend who worked in a sports store, who recommended the brand.
The tent has been great. We have had some floor leaks, but I'm lazy and haven't sealed the seams. It's been through a high wind thunderstorm (damp floor, no wall or window leaks, stayed put) and several beach camping trips (including steady winds that pushed it almost flat to the ground, nothing broke or ripped). I can put it up myself (I'm 5'3"), which is really nice. We can fit 2 adults, a double sized air mattress and a long weekend's worth of gear inside. I picked up the proper size groundcloth and 12" metal stakes to replace the ones it came it.
On the downside, it can get hot inside if you have it zipped up, and when you're using the gear loft you lose a bit of height.
Also, I picked up a last-year's model, so the price was great for this kind of tent. If I was going to get another car camping tent I'd probably go for the 1210 for the extra room.

I purchased this tent for family camping with my kids. I have several tents, but needed one large enough for all of us. This tent was roomy and suited us well. Make sure you seal the seams well. It kept us dry during an 11 hour thunderstorm, but was a little hot with the door closed.

This is a very good family tent. Mine doesn't leak, it's quick and easy to assemble and it's durable.
If there is any problem with this tent at all, it's that it wouldn't fit 4 people very comfortably, however it does fit 3 nicely.

Price Paid: $129.95
Just received the tent from Campmor and am sending it back ASAP. They agreed to pay shipping. Thanks, Campmor for great service.
As soon as I pulled it out to look at it I took out the tent poles. The shock cords for the tent fly are too tight and one of them is frayed to the point it is being held together by about two threads. I know it will not last through the first use. I will be using my 15-year-old tent from KMart till I find another brand. What a dissapointment! I thought the brand meant something but it doesn't mean quality.
