Hello Jkopel1205, please read the sticky at the top of the mapmaking requests thread. I'm sure that you will find someone that want to help you, but some more (and correct) info from you will surely make that much easier (and faster as well).
Hey everyone,
I'm new to the Cartographer's Guild, but I'd love to get the help of some experienced members mapping a fantasy world for my D&D 3.5e campaign. It takes place in the World of Vanitas, which is overrun by Shadows every 10,000 years and reshaped at their whim. I'm looking for a map-maker to help me make this dream a reality. While I would prefer a volunteer, I am willing to pay for this if need be. Please contact me if you are at all interested!
I'd love cities, ruins, etc to have different graphics, if possible. For instance, the cities of one nation should have one graphic while those of another nation should have a second graphic and any ruins or fortresses should have a third graphic (actually, one set of graphics which includes cities of different sizes). As part of ongoing campaigns, I'd also like to be able to add new cities and such to the maps as the campaign advances, if at all possible. Therefore I'd be exremely greatfulif you could provide all the individual city/ruin/etc graphics, as well as the font(s) used for the names, along with the maps when they're done.
--Earth-sized continent, with four main continents and a smaller chain of islands forming a demi-continent.
--Continent A is the largest, and also the most varied in terms of climate. The central area is largely plains and mountains dotted with rivers and lakes, with the western coast heavily desert, the northwest largely jungle and swamp, and the southeast a nearly impassable mountain region. Overall has the most inhabitants, but large areas are unsettled. This world's equivalent of Asia in terms of overall population size. Positioned slightly east of the "center" of this world.
--Continent B is mountainous and frigid, though the southeast and southwest, with the area between the two more temperate and coastal, making them popular port cities. This is the least populated continent. Positioned north of the center, and slightly west.
--Continent C is larger than Continent B (B is 1/3 of A, and C is 1/2 of A), it is crescent shaped, and holds a central desert with the rest of the area largely populated by forests, except for the eastern coast, which is tropical in the south and similar to the Eastern United States in the north. This is the most densely populated continent, though Continent A has more inhabitants overall. Positioned to the southwest of Continent A, though it extends vertically underneath A and up to the world's "center".
--Continent D is about the same size as Continent C. On the whole, this continent is more or less like modern Europe (in terms of overall land size and climate). It's overall shape is similar to Africa, if the bottom 50% of Africa was turned at a right angle to the top half horizontally. It is about as populated as South America. Straight west of the world's "center".
--The chain of islands, forming a demi-continent, takes up about half the land area of Continent B, and is like a larger version of southeast Asian island chain. Positioned in the "southwest" of this world.
--Similar to this, this, or this
----Either old world (black/white) style or more colored, detailed, is acceptable, though higher level of detail is obviously preferred.
Quality & Size
--High quality, professional ideally
--Required for web
--Dimensions: as needed/desired by author. Should fit on one standard web page without stretching if possible.
Time Constraints
--Ideally, I'd like this done as fast as possible. Within one month is highly desired, with greater speed likely resulting in greater payment.
--Copyright shall belong wholly to the author, though I shall be allowed to reproduce it for private purposes on public sites, though credit shall always be given to its author. (this will be wholly for Gaming purposes)

I'm still waiting to hear where the Origin of Species implies blacks and women are inferior.
women maybe but not blacks, physically speaking.
I almost forgot, I too want to here 1st hand accounts of Darwins Klan meetings.
Sasuke I demand that you reply in this thread or face the consequences.
Sasuke respond or suffer a WARNING. Failure to comply will result in a suspension.
If he believes this, I wonder what he thinks of black women...
I'm sorry Sasuke, but if you don't start explaining your position I'll be forced to take action.
hahaha sasuke72uchiha realizes hes full of absolute shit
but you were so confident before!
at least admit you were wrong
I wont say Im wrong because I'm not. You dont like it then take me to court. its no loss for me, after all, whether you're joking or not about your 'steps' it wont matter because I've already considered leaving a while ago.
Well then this is the debate forum. If you're not wrong then defend what you've said.
you claim you're right but won't back it up?

* First, open your car hood
* Separate the headlamps (both left and right lamps) from your car after opening your car hood
* Open the rear cover of the headlamps and pull the installed halogen lamp out
* Drill a hole in the middle of the rear cover of the headlamp with a 25mm hold cutter (drill the hole based on actual condition)
* Remove the plastic cap of the HID bulb, then put the bulb into the headlamp unit, make sure the installation of the press spring has settled properly after installing the lamp
* Fix the dustproof cover
* Prepare the wiring harness
* Connect the wiring harness with the ballast. Connect the source of electric power and the wiring diagram, stick the ballast on the nearest place from the headlamp in the engine room firmly by using double-faced tape, mounting plate, cable tie and etc
* Secure the new HID lamp.
* Headlights replaced and ready for test
* Enjoy your new light
"K" is the color temperature of the lamp when working. A normal misunderstanding is the higher the "K", the brighter the light. In fact, the exact opposite is true - the lower the "K", the brighter the light. So if you want a particularly bright and strong light, you should choose a set in the range of 4300-6000K
Advantages of HID Xenon Conversion Kits:
* Brighter
HID Xenon Lamp is three times the light output of traditional halogen lamp, two times the irradiation distance
* Safer
HID Xenon Lamp provides broader and clearer visual field, removes the dangers of driving in darkness
* Convenience
Easy installation with no requirement of professional knowledge
* Longer Life Time
The life time of HID lamp reaches more than 3000h, 8 times of traditional halogen lamp
* Lower Power Consumption
HID lights will be environment friendly. Power of normal HID lamp is only 30W or 35W. You will get "cool" lights instead of "hot" lights
* Environment-friendly
3-5 times brighter than factory halogen bulbs, burning roughly half the amount of energy, generating much less heat during operatio
What is HID Xenon
ID lamp (High-Intensity-Discharge) is the top product of the Metal halide lamp. Unlike Halogen lamps, HID lamps don't have a filament but create light by the arc between two electrodes. There are distinctive metals contained in the arc tube: high-pressure Xenon (99.99%), mercur and metal halide. When starting voltage is applied to the electrodes from the ballast or igniter, an arc is formed between them. The arc activates the Xenon, which in turn ignites the metal halide. The result of this action is the emission of light energy. Due to the high pressures of HID lamp operation, these wavelengths are concentrated in the visible light spectrum. We can get the desired color temperature through changing the pressure of HID lamp or the proportion of the metal halide
Outstanding Features
Super Brightness: The brightness and its luminous flux are increased by 300% as that of the halogen tungsten lamp, so that the lamp can radiate to higher, wider and farther place
Good color temperature: The color temperature is approximately 4300 K -10000k compared to 3000 K for halogen lamp. The common choose is 5500k,which is close to the sunlight and comfortable to our eyes, also benefit for the safe driving indirectly
Low power consumption and high efficiency: The power of Xenon metal halide lamp(35Watt,) for vehicle is only around half of tungsten halogen lamp but emitting 3 times of light
Quick start up: From starting up to reach full light, halogen lamp takes about 15 minutes, while HID lamp takes less than 0.001 second to start up and it can reach 85% of its full light in 1 second. For hot-re-strike, it takes several seconds to stabilization; for pulse-start ,it takes 10-20 seconds
Extremely long life: In practical terms, the life span of the bulb is equal to that of the car. Service life is at least 3000 hours, greatly above total hours of an automobile during normal night, which means that the bulb need only be replaced in exceptional cases
Why we use HID Lamp
On the road, HID Xenon lighting systems appear as a bright white beam which resembles natural daylight. The bright white beam offers greater visibility

It cannot be an accident or even the stubbornness of Salty that virtually every pitch in the first inning up to and including the grand slam dinger was a fast ball. I think maybe two or three of those pitches were changeups, and none of them were hit. Sliders? None.
This has to have been under the direct instructions of Nieves if not Nieves and Farrell. Give them heat. Establish your authority. No breaking balls except as waste pitches.
So what happens as the result of a steady diet of fastballs? Two singles, a walk and a dinger for 4 runs.
Then what happens? OK, now you can throw sliders and changeups, both of which, I might add, Wilson seems to throw with some ability. He gives up a ground ball single and gets two outs to end the inning. The he goes three more innings against the same lineup and gives up 1 run on a single, a stolen base, and another single.
I am by no means an expert on MLB pitching. So, please, someone else set me straight and explain how there is method in the instructions clearly given to Salty.

US condemns back-to-back Volgograd terrorist attacks
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—The United States on Monday condemned the
back-to-back terrorist attacks in Volgograd that killed dozens and offered to assist
Moscow with security preparations for the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympic Games in
"The United States stands in solidarity with the Russian people against terrorism,"
White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement. "The US government
has offered our full support to the Russian government in security preparations for the
Sochi Olympic Games."
A bomb explosion tore through a trolleybus in Volgograd on Monday morning, killing at
least 14 people and injuring 28 in the southern Russian city's second terrorist attack
in less than 24 hours.
The initial statement was released by the State Department here.
Authorities believe both Monday's attack and an explosion at the Volgograd-1 railway
station Sunday that killed 17 and injured more than 40 were carried out by suicide
"The United States condemns the terrorist attacks that struck the Russian city of
Volgograd and sends deepest condolences to the families of the victims with hopes
for the rapid healing of those wounded," Hayden said in the statement.
Monday's blast was the third such attack in Volgograd in just over two months and
came just weeks before the Sochi Games are set to kick off on February 7. Previously
known as Stalingrad, Volgograd is located about 430 miles (700 kilometers) from Sochi
Russian authorities have made efforts to boost security at the Black Sea resort that
is due to host the Winter Games, and Hayden said Monday that Washington would
"welcome the opportunity for closer cooperation for the safety of the athletes,
spectators and other participants" in Sochi.

Captain Ronald A. Erchul, USN (Retired) Memorial Video from Center for Leadership and Ethics on Vimeo.
Capt. Ronald Anton Erchul, VMI professor emeritus, was known for thinking big. A professor who taught geology and civil engineering at VMI for 27 years, he created a minor in environmental leadership and management and founded the Commonwealth of Virginia's Innovative Technology Symposium and the Environment Virginia Symposium. Honoring Erchul's contributions, the CAPT Ronald A. Erchul, Emeritus Professor, Environmental Leadership Award is awarded annually at the Environment Virginia Symposium. 'He had huge ideas,' said Col. Ned Riester, head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. 'He was always dragging cadets on field trips to mines or caves. … I never heard him say a bad thing about anybody. He always looked to the positive.'"
Capt. Ronald Anton Erchul, 73, of Rockbridge County was called home to be with his Lord on Saturday, Oct. 8, 2011. Captain Erchul taught geology and civil engineering at the Virginia Military Institute for 27 years, following 20 years of active duty in the U.S. Navy. He retired from VMI in 2008 and pursued his love of farming on his land along South Buffalo Creek. He is survived by his wife, Beverly A. Erchul, and one daughter, Maria B. Erchul of Fairfax County, Va. He was preceded in death by one daughter, Deborah A. Erchul, and by his parents, Anton and Agnes Erchul. He grew up in West Allis, Wis. A 1961 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Erchul earned his master's degree from the Naval Postgraduate School and his Ph.D. from the University of Rhode Island in ocean engineering. While on active duty in the U.S. Navy, 1961-1981, he served as a ship driver, a construction scuba diver, an executive officer, and an operations officer. His last tour of duty was at the U.S. Naval Academy, where he taught ocean engineering. While a midshipman at the Naval Academy, he was the starting right tackle on the 1960 football team that finished fourth in the land and earned a berth in the 1961 Orange Bowl. Erchul was recognized as an important environmental leader in Virginia. In 1990, he founded the Environment Virginia Symposium, an annual statewide event which continues to attract over 700 professionals representing diverse interests to VMI each April. He was an editor of Essays on Leadership in Environmental Management (Virginia Military Institute, 2004), with Marilyn R.D. Maisano and H. Francis Bush. He was responsible for creating a minor at VMI in environmental leadership and management, which was first awarded in May 1997. He was the recipient of VMI's Matthew Fontaine Maury Research Award in 1990 and again in 2006. The CAPT Ronald A. Erchul, Emeritus Professor, Environmental Leadership Award annually recognizes a Virginian who has made significant individual efforts to better the environment. Recent recipients of the award include Ann Jennings, executive director, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Virginia Chapter, and Ward Burton, former NASCAR driver and founder of the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation. The award is coordinated by the VMI Center for Leadership and Ethics at the Environment Virginia Symposium.

First of all, much apologies. I really wish I'd found this site much sooner. I'm self publishing my first book soon though. I'm also sorry that I don't know all of the technical details, but I do know what I need it for if that helps. I also know the setting well.
Project Scope:
YA fantasy novellas. The first in the series hits Amazon Nov 26. I am of course willing to send the manuscript, which includes info on the setting in appendices. I'm happy to answer questions of course.
A continent about the size of Texas and Oklahoma put together, plus a chain of islands close to the north. There's another chain of islands to the south but they are just far away enough that they might be off the map.
Design Concept:
I will provide a detailed description of Aeovas.
Number of maps:
Just one, though if we establish a good relationship I'll surely have more work for you in future years.
It has to be incorporated into PDFs for the paperbacks on CreateSpace and ebook files for Amazon and Smashwords. I believe jpeg should work.
B&W would be easier for the publications though I might shell out extra for a nice pretty color version later.
It has to fit on a 6 x 9 paperback page. Margins I'm pretty sure will be .5 all around the edges, except of course the gutter.
Really all I need is the ability to use the map in my book, blog and other publications, but I'd like the option to buy full copyright in the future if need be. The setting, names, characters etc are of course all mine. You can always use the map for your own promotion and portfolio and post it here.
Negotiable. Obviously I'd rather have it as soon as possible but if I don't have it in time to publish with it I'll manage. I'd just have to submit new files to Amazon and Smashwords, which might be a pain, and some people would have copies without maps, but it could be worse.
Willing to haggle starting at $100
Paypal is probably easiest.
I can probably donate to this site too if that helps.
I credit my cover artist in the front matter of the book itself and on my blog, including a url for her site. You'd get the same.

I do appreciate you being willing to humor me. I know circumstances aren't the best. Thanks.

(WUSA) -- Alfred from New Carrollton had no sympathy for some residents in Southeast who claim a new Branch Avenue speed camera amounts to a speed trap designed to crush their wallets:
"GIMME A BREAK!! Malcontents need something to kvetch about, try the economy or politics! As for speed cameras, the answer is simple: SLOW DOWN and the problem goes away."
Well, of course you're right, Alfred, as far as it goes. But the residents complain this camera is at the bottom of a hillm which means you get a ticket not for having a lead foot on the gas but for not hitting the brakes long enough. But, of course, we know the city would never put a camera in specific spot to just give out maximum tickets because that would be unfair.
Over on the WUSA 9 Facebook page several of you say a proposed new Virginia law allowing private adoption agencies to refuse to give children to gay couples if it would violate their religious beliefs is unfair.
Deborah C. Porter says:
"...there are so many children looking for a loving home. What does it matter if the couple is the same sex? This really makes me hate living in such a close minded state. Get real Virginia."
And similar sentiments from Dorothy Grim: "Your sexual orientation should have nothing to do with being a good parent. There are children out there in foster care with a mom and dad who are being abused every day... If these children can be given a safe and loving environment to grow up in, who cares if it's with 2 mommies or 2 daddies."
Ladies I'm with you...but there are obviously those who don't see it that way. That's why we have Mcginty's mailbag...the address is email@example.com.

The Different Types of Health Care Providers
MidwivesAlthough there are different types of midwives, they all specialize in caring for healthy women anticipating a normal pregnancy and birth. They focus on health and wellness and encourage women and families to join in decision-making. Midwives are trained to identify possible problems in pregnancy, and they work together with physicians when necessary for complicated pregnancies. Mothers "give birth" with midwives in birth centers, at home, and in hospitals.
A certified nurse-midwife (CNM) is a registered nurse who has additional education and certification in midwifery (meaning that she* has taken the required courses and has been licensed by the state in which she practices - all 50 states license midwives). A certified nurse-midwife is trained to provide prenatal care, education, and support; attend birth in a birth center, hospital, or home; and provide follow-up care to mother and newborn after the birth. Most certified nurse-midwives are also licensed to write prescriptions and provide "well-woman" care such as gynecological checkups, pelvic and breast exams, and pap smears, as well as family planning.
Certified midwives (CM) are new professionals in the health care field. Like certified nurse-midwives, CM's are certified by the American College of Nurse Midwives, but come from backgrounds other than nursing (including physician assistants, physical therapists, and other health professionals). The settings in which they practice and the care they provide is comparable to CNM's.
Certified professional midwives (CPM) have passed the certification exam of the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM). NARM certification recognizes multiple routes of entry into midwifery, and most CPM's become midwives without first becoming a nurse. CPM's provide prenatal care, care during labor and birth, and postpartum care of the mother and her baby in the early weeks after birth. Most CPM's attend births in birth centers or at home.
Family PhysiciansFamily physicians focus on the health care needs of the entire family. Not all family physicians include maternity care in their practice. Those that do may work hand-in-hand with an obstetrician if a complication arises during pregnancy, labor, or birth. Some family physicians are trained in surgery and perform cesarean sections. Family physicians primarily attend births in hospitals.
ObstetriciansObstetricians (OB's) may be either medical doctors (MD's) or doctors of osteopathy (DO's). Medical doctors have gone through 4 years of medical school. DO's have completed 4 years of study at a school of osteopathic medicine, which emphasizes the study of the body's muscle and bone structure, in addition to the regular medical school curriculum. Both MD's and DO's must complete an approved 4-year residency program in OB/Gyn to become obstetricians. OB's care for women before, during, and after their pregnancies. They are trained to identify and treat medical problems in pregnancy. They are also trained in surgery and are able to perform cesarean sections. Sometimes obstetricians manage high-risk pregnancies in conjunction with a perinatologist.
PerinatologistsPerinatologists are obstetricians with additional special training in managing high-risk pregnancy and birth. They consult with and accept referrals from other maternity care providers. Perinatologists practice mostly in major medical centers in large cities.
* Throughout Journey to Parenthood, both health care providers and infants are referred to as "she" for the sake of convenience.

Howie Mandel

Birth Place: Toronto, Ontario, CA
Born: 11/29/1955
Birth Place: Toronto, Ontario, CA
Born on Nov. 29, 1955, Mandel was raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. As a kid, the future comedian was anything but a class cut-up, thanks to suffering from undiagnosed OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). He was mystified and self-conscious about his repeated hand-washings and other repetitive rituals, forcing a retreat into his own imagination. By the time he reached high school, Mandel began acting out. His behavior got him expelled from several schools before he finally quit altogether and took a job as a carpet salesman. But the type of wacky behavior that failed to go over well with teachers eventually found a more receptive audience at Yuk Yuk's comedy club in Toronto. Mandel began ... Continue Bio >>

Dr. David Walsh, president of the National Institute on Media and the Family, is the subject of an interview in the July issue of Game Informer.
The politically-connected Walsh, whose organization delivers its Annual Video Game Report Card each holiday season, is described by the magazine as "one of gaming's most thoughtful and reasoned critics." He dishes on a number of topics, including:
- ESRB ratings (watchdog-ish, cautiously supportive)
- his criticism of the Grand Theft Childhood book (disagrees with its premise)
- his thoughts on video game legislation (opposes censorship)
- Jack Thompson (publicly distanced himself from Thompson)
Regarding legislation, Walsh told GI:
I'm not in favor of censorship. Once we delegate to the government what we can and can't say and freedom of expression – and video games are a form of expression – that's a very slippery slope. I think government can have a role. I think the role they've been playing is the "bully pulpit" to raise awareness.
As to Thompson, Walsh said:
Extreme positions create a lot of heat but very little light. Television and talk radio love extreme positions. So there are folks out there who do not hesitate to take positions that they can't defend. You get the these food fights going on that talk radio loves, but don't really advance our knowledge and understanding whatsoever. It got to the point where I had to publlcily distance myself from Jack Thompson.
Distance himself, indeed.
The high-profile split with Thompson came in October, 2005. The story was broken by GamePolitics, and set Internet tongues wagging for days. Read Walsh's letter breaking ties with Thompson here.

Every day I leave the supermarket and turn into this street to continue my ride home. Up until last weekend I hadn't really noticed these signs. The owner(s) of the restaurant on the corner apparently had enough and wanted to put a stop to people biking there, probably hindering their clientele and employees. The signs have a nice touch, movable plant ornaments with a polite message and signed with the peace symbol. Still, at first I was surprised, because I couldn't imagine it to be such a problem, knowing that locals mostly (and shortly) ride there to actually park in front of their homes or the shops. Besides that, you won't find many of the obligatory flocks of tourist bike salmons in this part of town. Quickly I realized the bike lane was put there only recently. So I did a Google Streetview check to see if that would supply me with some 'before' footage…bingo:[caption id="attachment_76" align="alignnone" width="600" caption="Google Streetview Amstelveenseweg/Veerstraat"][/caption]
I was right, there had to be more to it, I just forgot about the fact that the entire street leading from Surinamestraat up to this junction at Zeilstraat had been under construction, renewing the tarmac and tram tracks and reconfiguring the bike lane grid, moving away from the on-street situation.
As you can imagine, as well, I can see how people would cut corners at this junction during rush hour and move to the sidewalk to turn right, avoiding the hassle of dealing with tightly lined up cars at the traffic lights. Ergo, leave no real room for road users and these road users will quickly find an alternative. And at some point annoy others, like pedestrians and restaurant owners.
The newly installed bike lane is of standard (a-grade) quality. Completely segregated with a buffer zone on the left side, a billiard-like smooth surface, integrated bike junctions and exit paths and, of course, bicycle traffic lights at every car junction. Here are a few shots to get the picture:
Now I wonder how long it will take the restaurant owner to realize there's no real use for them anymore. Well, the ornaments can stay, I guess :).

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Omar Vizquel ended his illustrious 24-year
career on a high note, lacing a base hit to center field to move into sole
possession of 40th place on the all-time hits list.
The 45-year-old Venezuelan passed Mel Ott with his single in the seventh

(USA Today) -- A tweet published on Lil Wayne's Twitter feed on Friday night said: "I'm good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love," after much speculation about his health.
A few hours prior, there were conflicting reports when TMZ announced that Wayne has been hospitalized again and is in critical condition. TMZ says Wayne's mother is en route to Los Angeles.
But Billboard reported that Mack Maine, the president of Wayne's record company, Young Money, has tweeted "Wayne is alive and well! We watching the Syracuse game...thanks for the prayers and concern..he will update you all soon."
Earlier this week, Lil Wayne was hospitalized when he suffered multiple seizures while shooting a music video for Nicki Minaj's new single, High School, in Los Angeles, TMZ reported.
It isn't the first time the rapper, 30, has had seizures. He had two in October on separate airplane trips. In November, he told MTV that doctors had put him on seizure medication and told him to drink four bottles of water a day. "I ain't drinking four water bottles, but everything's good," he said at the time.

Video: James Kassay on the First Ascent of The Wheel of Life Direct (V16)
Repeating a 70-move, V15 roof climb was not quite enough for the Australian boulderer James Kassay. In fact, he wanted to make the problem harder! The line Kassay envisioned was a direct finish to Dai Koyamada's 2004 testpiece The Wheel of Life (V15), which climbs through the belly of the Hollow Mountain Cave in the Grampians of Australia. In 2011, Kassay repeated Koyamada's original problem, and then set to work on adding a more difficult finish. A year later, Kassay's links became longer and longer, until one November day, he sent The Wheel of Life Direct. Could Kassay's creation warrant the coveted V16 grade? Decide for yourself as you watch the video below and marvel at Kassay's flawless technique and unique rests such as grabbing his own climbing shoe!

Should the Thunder regret buying out Nate Robinson?
Five-foot-seven Nate Robinson, the new star of the 2013 NBA playoffs, arrived in Oklahoma City as part of the Kendrick Perkins trade on Feb. 24, 2011.
Robinson played only four games and 30 minutes for the Thunder. In the playoffs, Robinson played three games and 12 minutes. His only meaningful playing time came in Game 1 of the West finals against Dallas, when early in the fourth quarter OKC led 97-83, and Scotty Brooks tried to ignite a rally with Robinson. But Robinson missed three shots, went back to the bench and the Thunder lost 121-112.
Once the lockout was over in November 2011, the Thunder basically had no use for Robinson, and despite a year remaining on his contract, the Thunder and Robinson negotiated a buyout. Robinson's agent, Aaron Goodwin, told The Oklahoman, "They don't plan on using him in their rotation, and we wanted to see if we could find a better opportunity somewhere else."
Robinson signed with the Warriors and played 51 games, starting nine, and averaged 11.2 point a game, which is close to his career scoring average of 11.5.
In July, Robinson signed with the Bulls and played all 82 games, starting 23, and averaged 13.1 points a game as Chicago treads water with the void of Derrick Rose.
Robinson was fabulous in Chicago's big Game 4 comeback against Brooklyn, with 34 points in a 142-134 triple-overtime win, and was again Monday night, with 27 points in a 93-86 upset of Miami.
So, did the Thunder miss the boat by not retaining Robinson?
No. Robinson is a dynamo at times. He's also played for five franchises in the past 37 months.
Robinson has massive defensive deficiencies and definitely dominates the ball. On most teams, that's a huge problem. On this Chicago team, which is dying on the vine for offense, Robinson becomes valuable.
With the Thunder, Robinson was a demonstrative cheerleader and no locker room problem, as far as we know. But he clearly didn't – and doesn't – fit the Thunder culture. The Thunder has come a long way fast by sticking to its core principles. Nate Robinson seems a dubious place to start compromising.

Meridian police say two armed and masked suspects tried to hold up the 5 Points Food Mart, formerly known as the Dixie station, on 14th Street Sunday night. It happened about 9:30 p.m.
However, police say the clerk pulled his own firearm and shots were exchanged between the three inside the store.
The clerk received a minor grazing wound to his arm while one of the suspects was shot in the hand and the shoulder.
Both suspects fled the scene on foot but the wounded one was captured within minutes hiding in an apartment in Highway Village.
The MPD says that suspect is under guard at a local hospital receiving treatment for non-life threatening wounds and will be charged upon his release.
Police continue to search for the second suspect, who is described as a black male, 5' 8" tall, who was at the time wearing a gray hoodie and dark pants.

So like most of you here, I am starting to train for the fall for a couple mountain hunts. This includes a mixture of cardio training, strength training, and shooting the bow. My question is how often or when do most of you shoot? Do you shoot first and then workout or vice versa? Also, how many arrows? I usually shoot 3-4 dozen a few times a week.
I have found I think I like to go cardio then strength then shoot, but this leads to short or wobbly/innacurrate practice session because my back and shoulder muscles are already fatigued. You could say however that its ideal because you get the most value training your shooting muscles when they are already tired. I am not a morning person (unless hunting) and have a job such that I am working from the time I get there till the time I leave, so all this occurs in the evening. What works for you?
