The president of America's CBS TV network is unfazed by Angus T Jones' rant against hit show 'Two and a Half Men', insisting his trash-talk is "a piece of cake" to deal with compared to former star Charlie Sheen's public battle with the creators.
The 19 year old, who has portrayed Jon Cryer's onscreen son Jake Harper in the comedy since its 2003 launch, hit headlines last month after he labelled the series "filth" and pleaded with fans to quit watching in a taped testimony for the Forerunner Christian Church. Read more here...
Jones' future on the show is unknown, but CBS president Les Moonves is taking the drama in his stride following Sheen's 2011 public feud with creator Chuck Lorre, which resulted in the actor's departure from the sitcom.
Moonves tells the Wall Street Journal. "I don't know what our status is with (Jones). We took this boy who started with us when he was eight years old, and it seemed to be what happens with child stars over the course of time.
Amanda Bynes began her professional acting at the age of 7, and hit it big first as a regular cast member of Nickelodeon's "Figure It Out" and "All That," and in 1999 she landed her own sketch show, called "The Amanda Show."
Amanda Bynes was a child actor turned teen actress without much incident, but in recent years it became apparent that something might be a little off with the actress. After a few years of relative obscurity, Bynes tweeted that she was retiring from the entertainment industry at the tender age of 24, then tweeted about her preference for "chocolate" men. Most recently, the actress has been involved in a series of car accidents and charged with a DUI. Following news of her DUI charge, Bynes took to Twitter to proclaim her innocence -- to the president. "Hey @BarackObama... I don't drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don't hit and run. The end," the "She's the Man" star tweeted. In recent months, the actress' behavior has only become more erratic, as she announced on Twitter that she has an eating disorder, and wrote that she wanted rapper Drake to "murder" her vagina. Bynes was arrested for reckless endangerment in May 2013 after she allegedly dropped a bong out of the window of her high rise apartment.
Shia LaBeouf began performing stand-up at comedy clubs at age 10, and got his big break as Louis Stevens on Disney's "Even Stevens," in 2000.
In 2007 Shia LaBeouf was arrested at a Chicago Walgreens after he appeared drunk and refused to leave the store. The "Transformers" actor was hit with a misdemeanor criminal trespassing charge. Those charges were later dropped by Walgreens, who decided they weren't interested in pursuing the case. In March 2008, a warrant was issued for the actor's arrest after he didn't show up to a hearing in relation to a ticket he received for unlawful smoking in Burbank, California. When the actor's lawyer showed up the next day to plead not guilty the warrant was recalled, and the charges later dismissed after the actor paid a $500 fine. In July 2008, Shia ended up in the hospital after he crashed his car and injured his hand. Although police determined LaBeouf was not at fault for the accident, he was still charged with a DUI and his license suspended for a year. In February 2011, the actor found himself in handcuffs after he got in an altercation with another bar patron and got punched in the face. Lucky for Shia no charges were filed. In October 2011, the actor was involved in another bar fight in Vancouver, Canada. In video footage, the actor is repeatedly punched in the head by another bar guest. No charges were filed at this time. Since then, the actor has stayed out of the news for anything other than his on-screen work, but he did get a little wild when he recently went full frontal for a new Sigur Ros video.
Lindsay Lohan has been working since the age of 3, when she signed with Ford Models, and later appeared in more than 100 TV commercials. After being cast as Alexandra Fowler on the soap opera "Another World," Lohan got her first big break, playing twins in a remake of Disney's "The Parent Trap." After a few years out of the spotlight, Lohan returned to Hollywood and made a few movies, before becoming an industry fixture with the 2004 movie, "Mean Girls."
Lindsay Lohan has the distinct honor of being arrested more times than any other Disney star. The actress who starred in the remake of Disney's classic "The Parent Trap" and the Lovebug reboot "Herbie: Fully Loaded," was first arrested May 26, 2007 on suspicion of driving under the influence after her car struck a curb in Los Angeles. Police also reported they found a substance they believed to be cocaine at the scene. Two days later Lohan checked herself into what would be her second stint in rehab and during her stay was accused of being drunk when she crashed into a parked van in October 2005, alleges a lawsuit against her. On July 24, 2007, less than two-weeks after she left her 45-day stay at Promises, Lohan was pulled over by police and arrested on five counts, including driving under the influence of alcohol, driving on a suspended license and possession of narcotics. She heads back to rehab hours after the arrest. On August 23, the actress was charged with seven misdemeanor counts for her two DUI arrests. With a plea deal it is agreed that Lindsay will spend one day in jail, serve 10 days of community service and complete a drug-treatment program. She was also given 36 months of probation and had to complete an 18-month alcohol education program. In addition she also had to finish a three-day county coroner program that requires she talk to victims of drunk drivers and visit a morgue. After showing up late to a probationary hearing to review her cases on October 16, 2009, Lohan lands herself another year of probation tacked on to the initial 36 months, because she failed to complete the alcohol education classes. A warrant was issued for Lindsay's arrest and is ordered to post $200,000 bail after her SCRAM alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet went off in June 2010. The next month she was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab for violating her probation. Lohan serves only 14 days in jail and begins her court-ordered 90 day rehab program, which she only serves 23 days of after doctors said she had done everything required of her. After failing a drug test in September 2010, a judge revoked her probation, denied her bail and sent Lindsay back to prison. Lohan's lawyers appealed the decision and had it overturned -- Lohan was released after posting $300,000 bail that day. Later that month she checks into the Betty Ford Center for substance abuse rehab. In October a judge orders Lohan to stay in rehab until January for violating her probation. Just three weeks out of rehab Lohan is accused of walking out of a jewelry store with a necklace and was later charged with felony grand theft. In April 2011, Lohan spends five hours in custody before posting a $75,000 bond after she was sentenced to 120 days in jail for violating her DUI probation by being charged with the necklace theft. In May, Lohan is sentenced to 120 days for stealing the necklace, which she will serve at home, and only serves 35 days of house arrest. She also got 480 hours of community service. On October 19, 2011 Lohan's probation was revoked after she was kicked out of the community service program at an L.A. women's shelter. Lohan posted $100,000 bail and the judge set a hearing for November 2, to see if Lohan will serve jail time. Then on October 20, Lohan was late to morgue duty and turned away. The next day she shows up early and tries to apologize by buying the morgue staff lunch at In N' Out burger. Lohan has since completed her probation, but was most recently in yet another car crash. In early June 2012, Lohan crashed a rented porsche into the back of a dump truck. Though police are still investigating, they cleared the actress of being intoxicated.
Demi Lovato's career began at the age of 7, when she was cast alongside BFF Selena Gomez on "Barney & Friends." In 2007, she hit it big with the Disney Channel original movie "Camp Rock" starring opposite the Jonas Brothers. The success of the movie led to a staring role as Sonny on the Disney show "Sonny With a Chance."
Things publicly took a turn for the worse for Demi Lovato in October 2010, when she underwent treatment for a "physical and emotional issue." The decision to head to rehab was prompted by a physical altercation with one of the Jonas Brothers' backup dancers, who told the Disney star's management about some of Lovato's dangerous behavior. After three months of treatment, Demi returned to the spotlight and opened up about her battles with bulimia and cutting, and being diagnosed as bipolar. Lovato has been extremely open about her issues, and admitted she was abusing drugs as a way to self-medicate. In an MTV documentary, the singer continued to share her struggle with fans and admitted she's still in process of recovery.
Mitchel Musso made his film debut in the 2004 movie "Secondhand Lions," and got his big break as Oliver Oken on Disney's "Hannah Montana," later voicing Jeremy Johnson on "Phineas and Ferb."
Former "Hannah Montana" star Mitchel Musso was arrested on October 16, 2011, and charged with two counts of drunk driving. The 20-year-old actor, who currently stars on Disney's "Pair of Kings" and lends his voice to the Disney cartoon series "Phineas and Ferb," was pulled over after he failed to slow down for police officers who were directing traffic. When given a breathalyzer test Musso blew well above the 0.08 percent BAC limit. If convicted on both counts, Musso faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. But as TMZ notes, first-time DUI offenders in LA County aren't sentenced to jail time unless there are aggravating circumstances, which in this case there are not. In February 2012, Musso struck a deal in his DUI case, and pled no contest to one count of having a blood alcohol level over .08. In exchange, he was sentenced to 36 months' informal probation and ordered to pay a fine and complete an alcohol education class.
Britney Spears started singing in church as a young child, and had her first break when she was cast in a re-boot of Disney's "Mickey Mouse Club," in 1992. When the show was canceled, Spears returned home to Louisiana, but was back in the spotlight by 1998, with the release of her first album, "...Baby One More Time," and took over the world of pop music.
Britney Spears was arrested and hospitalized in January 2008 after she barricaded herself in a bathroom with her son Jayden and refused to come out. The singer had refused to return her two sons to their father, Kevin Federline, after a court-monitored visit. Police were called and Britney was said to be babbling and incoherent, arguing with officers in a way that made no sense. After a three-hour standoff Britney was arrested, strapped to a gurney and taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was held for 72-hours for psychiatric treatment and evaluation. No criminal charges were filed, but the singer lost custody of her sons, Jayden and Sean Preston, following the incident.
Vanessa Hudgens began performing in musical theater as a singer, at the age of 8, and moved to Los Angeles after she was cast in a commercial to try her hand at a real career. In 2003, she had a minor role in "Thirteen" starring Evan Rachel Wood, and in 2005 landed her big break with Disney's "High School Musical."
Just after Vanessa Hudgens reprised her role as Gabriella Montez in "High School Musical 2," photos of the then 16-year-old, posing nude and in lingerie, surfaced online. No one expected Hudgens' career to survive the photo leak, but Disney welcomed her back and issued an apology. In 2009, the actress had yet another nude photo scandal, this time featuring Hudgens topless. Reps for the actress refused to comment, but her lawyers requested that the photos, which had been stolen from her cellphone, be removed from the Internet. In March 2011, a video, and more nude photos were stolen and released.
At the age of 9, Christina Aguilera appeared on "Star Search" singing "A Sunday Kind of Love," and in 1994 was cast alongside Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Ryan Gosling in Disney's "The New Mickey Mouse Club." In 1999, Aguilera re-introduced herself to the world as a pop princess, with her self-titled debut album.
The former mouseketeer ditched the pop princess style with which she was introduced to the world and got down and "Dirty" in 2003. The singer's style became more shocking as the years passed, but it wasn't until May 2011, when she was arrested for public intoxication. The singer's boyfriend Matthew Rutler was pulled over by police who saw the car "burn rubber" and fishtail onto a street. The couple smelled of alcohol and Rutler failed his breathalyzer test, blowing 0.09 BAC. While Christina was a passenger, cops said she appeared "too drunk to care for herself and had no driver to take her home." She was arrested on suspicion of being drunk in public, so police could hold her at the station to sober up. Although she was arrested, cops said she wouldn't be prosecuted because she has no criminal intent, but the misdemeanor arrest remains on her record.
Miley Cyrus began her career at the age of 8 with a role on the short-lived show "Doc," starring her father, Billy Ray. At the age of 11, Miley hit the big time with Disney's "Hannah Montana." The show made Miley one of Disney's biggest stars and helped her launch her own music career.
As Miley Cyrus became a huge star, the controversies surrounding her began to unfold one after the next. In April 2008, provocative pictures of Cyrus in underwear and bikinis leaked online, and Cyrus released a statement, saying: "I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone." Of course, there was buzz about how much skin the young star was showing, because of racy photos taken by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair. The scandal forced both Cyrus and Leibovitz to apologize. But the following year, at the Teen Choice Awards, a pole dance she did for her song "Party in the U.S.A." caused outrage. Then in 2010 a video of Cyrus giving her movie producer a lap dance went viral and then, another video of her smoking salvia from a bong made huge headlines. In 2011, the singer again made headlines over a video in which she declared she was a "pothead" and later photos of her posing with a novelty cake in the shape of a penis caused outrage among conservative groups. The 19-year-old star has spent most of 2012 shocking everyone with her ever-shrinking waistline and clothing. The singer and actress is known to shun undergarments while wearing revealing clothing. Most recently Miley surprised everyone when she announced her engagement to boyfriend Liam Hemsworth.
Jamie Lynn Spears got her big break just by being Britney's little sister. Jamie Lynn was cast as a younger version of her sister in 2002's "Crossroads," which lead to her landing a role on Nickelodeon's "All That." Jamie Lynn broke out of the ensemble show with a starring role on "Zoey 101" in 2004.
Jamie Lynn Spears' career was given a boost from being the younger sister of one of the biggest names in pop, but as for her sister, controversy was sure to follow. In 2007, 16-year-old Jamie Lynn announced in an interview with OK! magazine that she was pregnant with boyfriend Casey Aldridge's baby, and announced their engagement in 2008. Spears gave birth to daughter Maddie in June 2008 and moved in with Aldridge. The couple called off their engagement in 2009 and Spears ended the relationship and moved out in February 2010.
Orlando Brown began his career at the age of 8 and got his break as Eddie Thomas on Disney's "That So Raven."
"That's So Raven" star Orlando Brown was arrested in August 2011 and charged with a DUI. Cops pulled over the former Disney star for driving without a license plate. When they went in for a closer look, Brown smelled of alcohol and when given a breathalyzer test, he blew over the 0.08 BAC limit. Brown has struck a plea deal that will keep him out of jail. The 23-year-old actor pled no contest and was given 36 months probation, ordered to pay a $390 fine, sentenced to a single day in jail, ordered to attend alcohol education classes and must attend 10 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
Jodie Sweetin began her career at the tender age of 4, appearing in a hot dog commercial, but got her big break when she was cast as the middle child, Stephanie, on "Full House" in 1987.
After "Full House" ended, so did Jodie Sweetin's career, and her life took a dark turn. She gave birth to daughter Zoie in April 2008, and split from husband Cody Herpin in November. Sweetin became a drug addict, abusing everything from meth to cocaine and ecstasy. In 2009, Sweetin wrote a memoir called "unSweetined," which chronicles her downward spiral, which began with the ending of "Full House."
The Olsen twins have been working since they were 6 months old and now have billions of dollars to show for it. The twin sisters found fame almost from birth when they were cast as Michelle Tanner on "Full House" in 1987. The girls were the breakout stars of the show and launched their own production company, making dozens of straight-to-video movies that were a staple at sleepovers in the early 1990s. A clothing line with Walmart followed, and soon the Olsen twins had an empire built on cuteness.
Being a child star takes its toll, even when you're as successful as Mary-Kate Olsen. In 2004, Olsen announced she had entered treatment for anorexia, but rumors that she was also being treated for drug and alcohol abuse were rampant. After she entered treatment, a "Got milk?" ad featuring Mary-Kate and Ashley was pulled from rotation, and that was effectively the end of the Olsens ever being viewed as role models for young girls. Olsen recovered from anorexia and has gone on to run a successful fashion empire with her sister.
Drew Barrymore landed her first professional gig at the tender age of 11 months, and got her first big break when she was cast as Gertie in "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" in 1981.
Finding fame so young proved dangerous for Drew Barrymore, who was a regular at nightclubs as a little girl, and detailed in her memoir "Little Girl Lost" that she was smoking cigarettes at 9, drinking at 11, smoking marijuana at 12, and snorting cocaine by 13. Drew's partying was constantly reported on by the media and she made her first trip to rehab at 13. After falling back into hard-partying ways, the actress attempted suicide and returned to rehab at the age of 14. Barrymore managed to get herself sober, and filed for emancipation from her mother. Today, Barrymore has a successful career as an actress and producer, and was recently married for the third time. She and new husband Will Kopelman are expecting their first child together later this year.
"He's now making $300,000 per week, which is not a bad salary for a 19-year-old kid, and he went on a religious channel and urged people not to watch the show because it was filth. By the way, he's still collecting his $300,000 a week...
"I don't think it's quite been resolved, but after going through what we went through with Charlie Sheen, this is a piece of cake."

Fashion and sun, and everything fun......that's what Patchgirlz! is made of. Piece together colorful patches to solve increasingly intricate puzzles. Take your time, enjoy, even pour yourself a coffee… you're not on the clock.Packed with piece-ful play, this game's a stitch!
1.At the start of each level, some pieces will already be in place on the board. Although you can move them at any time, they are already in the correct position.
2.On the right side of the game board is a line of random patches. Simply click one and drag it onto the board, then release to place it. A new patch will appear to take its spot in the line.
3.Move all patches to their proper places on the board to advance to the next round. The more puzzles you solve, the smaller the pieces will become, so take your time and enjoy the challenge!
Tips & Tricks
· Although you're not "on the clock" to solve each puzzle, there is a bonus for finishing quickly! So if you're trying for a high score, speedy solving is one great way to succeed.
· As you remove pieces from the queue on the right side of the board, new ones will appear. So if none of the ones you see at the moment have obvious homes on the board, move a few off and pile them on an empty part of the board, then see if the replacements are easier to place. (Don't forget to move all the random pieces back to the queue, or place them, eventually!)
· When you set a piece near, but not quite on, its proper spot, it will "snap" the last tiny distance into place. If you are completely stumped on all your available pieces, you might want to try moving one randomly around the board, just to see if it sticks anywhere!

Dear 360-Degree Turn:
In the digital age, anonymity empowers some people to type things they'd never actually sign. On the other hand, if participants don't believe that their feedback is truly anonymous, they will hold back. I suspect that one or both of these problems may be the reason why your 360 reviews aren't working. While these are fixable, they can take time.
Any feedback can be useful, keeping in mind that unless it is tied to one of your company's key performance indicators, or KPIs, it's probably not going to be helpful for leadership development purposes. Measurement against preset goals in any number of KPI's is the kind of pure feedback that many argue matters above all else. But if you're looking for feedback on the more subjective, less measurable leadership skills, then I'm afraid you'll need human input.
I might suggest that you take another look at why your 360 reviews aren't working. The well-worn adage, "garbage in, garbage out" certainly applies here. If you can correct any issues with the data that you do collect, you're well on your way to realizing the benefits of reliable, well-rounded feedback exercise.
In any event, you'll want to cast a wide net and capture feedback from as many other sources as you can. From the sources you do use, resist the temptation to place undue weight on outliers/one-off comments. One of the biggest challenges with 360 feedback vehicles is interpreting the results accurately and objectively. Using an outside third party to conduct your 360 survey might be the way to go.
As you interpret survey results and self-reviews, stay away from vague conclusions and use statistics to maintain the integrity of your conclusions. Obviously it can be quite difficult to maintain objectivity when you know the parties involved, so consider outside assistance.
If you're willing to give 360's another try but want to handle the administration yourself, I suggest you use a tool like Survey Monkey. It features ready-made "Expert Survey Templates," including a 360 survey that you can utilize immediately. The questions have been written by qualified industrial psychologists, helping you to increase the changes of highly reliable data. Survey Monkey will even run the survey for you, adding a layer of confidentiality that you might need, based on your question above.
If you'd rather have some help with feedback interpretation, I suggest one of the time-tested DiSC assessments (dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness) called, "Everything DiSC363 for Leaders."
When you remove 360 feedback surveys from your toolbox, you sacrifice the benefit of unique perspectives on critical skills that are hard to measure. But you can still gather feedback from multiple sources, and as with any feedback, you should be looking for patterns. Each bit of feedback you gather must be drawn together in some sort of discernible pattern if it is to be useful and reliable.

While the siting of wireless facilities is generally a local matter subject to zoning ordinances and statutes, the FCC has some rules relating to the location and construction of communications towers. For example, to ensure safe air navigation FCC rules require the registration of towers or other structures that support antennas, such as water towers or buildings, that are more than 200 feet in height or located near an airport runway. The FCC administers these requirements through the Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) system. The FCC also administers rules to ensure the construction of communications towers complies with environmental and historic preservation laws, including the National Environmental Policy Act and National Historic Preservation Act. In addition, the FCC has provided guidance on how long a state or local government has to act on a zoning application.

AG061: Disaster of Disguise
this wiki
Disaster of Disguise (Japanese: 仮面のコーディネーター・ファントム登場! Masked Coordinator: Enter Phantom! ) is the 21st episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Episode Plot
Drew is shown to be battling against a dressed man. His Roselia is losing to a Dusclops. Dusclops uses Shadow Punch, hitting Roselia. Dusclops uses Will-O'-Wisp, defeating Roselia and Drew. The man disappears. Meanwhile, the gang has appeared in Verdanturf Town. Max sees Drew giving Poké Balls to Nurse Joy. They are sure that Drew is entering the Contest, but they are surprised when Drew wouldn't, due to Roselia's wounds. He warns them of a masked Coordinator who calls himself as the Phantom.
May goes to practice. Team Rocket begins to practice as well, but they see the gang. Skitty is brought out and May order Skitty to use Blizzard, but Skitty does it on them. May will then throw balls to Skitty, so she needs to use DoubleSlap to juggle the balls with her tail. Skitty succeeds, balancing the balls. May throws some additional balls, but suddenly Skitty fails. Team Rocket sees them - Jessie is confident she and Dustox will win. A man from far sees them as well. Skitty tries once more to juggle the balls, succeeding in juggling 5 balls.
Skitty gets excited, but fails to juggle the balls. The man who battled Drew, the Phantom, appears to challenge the gang to a battle. Ash goes in to battle with Pikachu, so the rules are like the Contest's - 5 time limit. The Phantom brings Dusclops. Pikachu uses Quick Attack, but no damage is dealt due to Dusclops being a Ghost-type Pokémon. Dusclops uses Shadow Punch, with Pikachu being hit by the attacks. The Phantom orders Dusclops to end the fight, but a car is heard, so the Phantom calls Dusclops back and disappears.
A woman goes out of the car and chases the Phantom. The Phantom is cut and stops, so the woman goes after him, but she stumbles and the Phantom vanishes. The woman finds an object and is angry, asking loudly what have they done to her son, Timmy. Brock tells her that they have seen the Phantom only once and they have no idea who Timmy is. The woman begins to tell that Timmy, her only son, stopped going to school, so she hired an detective to look after Timmy. The detective noticed that whenever Timmy goes away, the Phantom appears.
The woman is told that they are Pokémon trainers, so she wants them to find the Phantom and discover who he is. Team Rocket sees the shiny rings and hear what the woman says, so they are after unmasking the Phantom. The gang arrived to the woman's house - a huge mansion. The man - Timmy - takes notes about Pikachu, but notices his pen is missing. The woman appears (with the gang introducing themselves to Timmy) and shows him the Pen he lost. The woman commands Timmy, as she found it where she chased the Phantom. The woman notices the bandage, but Timmy goes to his room.
The woman suspects (due to the wound on his arm) that Timmy is the Phantom. They convince the woman that they can't be, but she becomes upset when Ash asks her if Timmy wanted to become a Trainer. The woman is angry when Brock tells her that she can learn much from Pokémon. They discuss that Timmy is not a happy person. Out of nowhere, Timmy's father, Tommy, appears and knows who the Phantom is. The Phantom was Timmy all along. When Tommy was a Coordinator, he met his wife and he married her, but he couldn't allow Pokémon to enter the mansion - she hated them. He made the Phantom costume to get in the Contests. However, he hid it and Timmy found the costume, so he took in his footsteps.
Timmy encountered a Duskull and brought it home, but his mother did not allow, thinking he should study more. Timmy felt sad, so Tommy brought him the Phantom costume. Timmy became a Coordinator and gained more confidence. Timmy will sure to go into the Contest that will be in town. Brock has an idea to help him. Timmy's mother is being driven in the car and sees a woman giving her daughter a Poochyena. Timmy's mother thinks about it. May practices with Skitty - she uses DoubleSlap to juggle the balls.
The Phantom (dressed as Brock) appears and challenges May to battle. Timmy's mother goes out of the car, with Ash, Timmy and Tommy going out of the mansion. Timmy's mom is convinced that Timmy is not the Phantom. However, Brock's mask is taken off, but he puts it back - Team Rocket wants to expose the Phantom for the rewards. Jessie sends Seviper and James Cacnea to discover the Phantom's identity. Pikachu is about to use Thunderbolt, but Ash realizes it will hit Brock (the Phantom).
Skitty uses Blizzard, taking Seviper and Cacnea off, but at same time Brock is revealed, so he pulls his mask again. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, blasting Team Rocket off. Brock leaves, so Tommy knows that his wife saw Brock's face. Surprisingly to Tommy, she leaves to her office, saying that is sure wasn't Timmy. Timmy surely knows that he'll enter the Contest, while May knows she'll enter, too.
- Featured Pokémon: Crawdaunt, Chinchou, Houndour, Volbeat.
- The title could be a reference to the 2002 comedy film "The Master Of Disguise".

In Memorium: Catherine "Kate" Puzey,
from Peace Corps Polyglot
We were saddened on late Friday to learn of the death of 24-year-old Peace Corps Volunteer Catherine "Kate" Puzey, who was found outside of her home in Benin early Thursday.
Kate Puzey, a Georgia native and a graduate of William and Mary College, had been teaching English since July 2007 in the rural village of Badjoude, approximately six hours north of the capital city of Cotonou.
A US State Department official said that she appeared to have been murdered, but neither the Benin government nor the State Department have officially determined her cause of death.
Peace Corps Acting Director Jody Olsen said, "Kate was an exemplary member of the Peace Corps family whose dedicated work as a secondary English teacher in a rural public school in Badjoude, Benin, contributed greatly to the lives of the Beninese citizens. Kate's life and work spoke volumes about the kind of dedication she had to her service as a Volunteer, and the U.S. Peace Corps is greatly saddened by her loss. Our condolences go out to her family and loved ones at this time."
Memorial Fund
The Kate Puzey Memorial Fund has been established to help causes Puzey believed in.
Donations can be sent to: c/o Smith, Gambrell, and Russel, LLP, Suite 3100, 1230 Peachtree Street, NE, Atlanta, GA 30309-3592.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- March 1st could be a very bad day for the region's workforce. Without a deal on Capitol Hill, sequestration will force deep federal spending cuts. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers and private employees could be furloughed.
The threat got one WUSA 9 viewer so mad, she made this proposal: " ... Congress should step up to the plate and take 1 furlough day each week until they actually make some decent decisions about how to make the economy better." We decided to take her proposal to our four local Senators; would they be willing to accept furloughs, if federal workers were forced to?
All of the democratic lawmakers have spoken out against sequestration and have expressed their opposition to furloughs for any workers. But none of them answered our specific question, would they be willing to personally accept furloughs?
Here is the response Maryland Senator Ben Cardin's office gave to WUSA 9:
"Senator Cardin has repeatedly said that Congress should not allow sequestration to occur. It will have a devastating impact on our economy and we cannot let it happen. He is working with his colleagues on the Finance Committee and Senator Mikulski, who is chair of the Appropriations Committee, to work toward a resolution that will not put our economy and American families at risk. Senator Cardin has been a staunch defender of federal workers, repeatedly reminding Senators, the White House and the Republican House about the great sacrifices they have made through a multi-year pay freeze and cuts to agency resources under the latest continuing resolution that funds the government. Furloughs are an extreme measure that should be avoided at all costs due to the demoralizing effect they will have on our economy, especially here in Maryland, and particularly middle income families."
Senator Cardin also granted us an interview. His answer was very similar:
"We don't want furloughs. I don't want it for the federal workforce. It is the wrong thing to do. It will cause major disruptions of services. It will impact wrong on individuals. We need to eliminate the possibility of that type of action."
The office of fellow Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski also provided a written statement that did not directly answer our question. Here is the entire response:
"I'm against furloughs. Federal employee furloughs threaten community and national safety and threaten our economy. They are one of severe and significant consequences of recent budget conflicts that cycle through ultimatum, delay, and crisis. Sequester is the latest of these conflicts. I'm focused on using every tool within my reach to fight sequester and stop downgrades, shut downs, or furloughs."
The office of Virginia Senator Tim Kaine provided this comment: "Paycheck or no paycheck - Senator Kaine will continue to do everything he can to avert the devastating impacts of the sequester on the federal workforce."
Senator Mark Warner's office offered this statement in the same vein: "Senator Warner will report for duty and continue working for a bipartisan solution whether the lights are on or not."
Technically, the 27th amendment of the Constitution does not allow members of Congress to change their own pay in a current session, essentially banning the type of pay cut that would come with a furlough. But lawmakers have options. For example, they could voluntarily pay extra income tax to help pay down the national debt.
All four Senators did vote in favor of the "No Budget, No Pay" act. It dictated that if Congress fails to pass a budget by April 15, they lose their paychecks, temporarily. The income goes into an escrow account and is paid back when the current Congress ends, even if a budget doesn't ever pass.
So, what do you think? Should Congress be penalized If federal workers are furloughed due to sequestration? WUSA 9 has created a petition with our partners at POPVOX.com, helping you speak out on this issue (http://on.wusa9.com/YsYbch). So far, hundreds have written letters in support of financial penalties for lawmakers. We are receiving responses from across the country including Texas, Colorado, Arizona, California and Hawaii. The number of people opposed as of 8:00 AM ET Monday morning. Zero.
We've all been following the sequestration driven furloughs because it will impact our region more heavily than most. One WUSA 9 viewer has suggested that Congress "get a taste of their own medicine."
Unless Congress acts by March 1st, "sequestration" - a series of automatic, across-the-board cuts - will take effect.
While some federal spending cuts were made as part of the deal to avoid the Fiscal Cliff at the beginning of the year, Congress must once again consider whether to take action to reduce the deficit or allow the deep, automatic cuts.
The Office of Management and Budget indicates that "there's no way to implement the sequester without significant furloughs of hundreds of thousands of federal employees."
Some have suggested that if federal workers are furloughed because of those automatic cuts, Members of Congress should also be furloughed one day each week or not receive pay until they come to a decision on cutting federal spending and reducing the deficit.
By supporting, you'll be telling Congress that should the automatic cuts occur, and federal workers are furloughed, then Members of Congress too should be furloughed or not receive pay. By opposing, you'll be telling Congress that you oppose furloughs or pay cuts for Members of Congress.

Or will sign in this period?
No idea; from his twitter account he has been out recruiting this week.
BF may not sign anyone else this season. 6 players returning, 3 newcomers, and if he brings in two or three walk-ons that is 12 on the squad. That is pretty much where we were last season. He only usually plays 8 or 9 anyway. AND, he keeps 6 scholarships for 2011 and or 2012. Bill would make a good poker player.
1 = center
3 = forwards
5 = gaurds
3 = walkons
12 total
I just don't see this team making any kind of run without bringing in a juco guard.
Maybe that is why he is still recruiting.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
he will get another juco sg.. IMHO
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."

But, is he recruiting for 2010 or 2011 or 2012? If he gets the "big name" walk on that everyone is mentioning then he doesn't need to sign anyone else.

Fennelly, like tons of other college coaches, is at the Windy City Classic in Waukegan, IL this weekend.
He's there to support and been seen by players that he's already offered (like Taylor Greenfield) and scouting others.
It's a huge USJN tournament.

Do you mean another juco guard. Mansfield, incoming guard, is a juco.
He has at least one walk-on point guard. She will be a freshman.
Another commit may not be in the works. Coach Bill maybe indicating he is putting in the hours now to attend to those in the fold as well as working towards a big 2011 class.
Getting a quality walk-on, one that really likes us, as discussed lately on CF is heartening.
For me too it's good to read a few more tidbits about 2010 players already signed:

So, that isn't the Juco combo gaurd that everyone has been talking about. I was hoping for another big to be added as a walk on.

Im gonna be rooting for number 24 this winter---just found out for sure that my cousin Elly is a preferred walk-on and will be wearing number 24
Elly Arganbright was 2nd team all-state this season. I have a gut feeling this is the cousin Elly you are talking about... :)
Nothing against your cousin...but, she is only 5-5. She is a scorer but still that is really short for the Big 12 even for a walkon, a preferred one at that. Wow, Whitney was listed at 5-7 and looked 5-5. If Elly is listed at 5-5 could she be 5-3. Sorry to be a downer here but I was expecting something different.

"s/v Isha"
Friday Harbor, San Juan Island Island, Salish Sea
Tom Davison
"Whether the Flicka has reached over 300 because she's a beautiful and distinctive boat or because she's built to take the sea is impossible to determine. Regardless, the Flicka's popularity is a tremendous source of pride for me, not to mention the justice done to her design by Pacific Seacraft.
The many many miles that I sailed in Sabrina were exciting, fulfilling, confident, enjoyable and comfortable ones. She did everything ever asked of her and did it extremely well bespeaking both the success of the Flicka design, the wisdom crafted into it's turn-of-the-century ancestors and the diligence of those in the plant which translates the Flicka into a 20th century reality.
The Flicka is still my dream and my most rewarding achievement and experience." ~ Bruce P. Bingham
Since Bruce Bingham published the Flicka line drawings in RUDDER in 1972, Flicka's have been built in ferrocement, wood and fiberglass. They have been rigged as a gaff cutter, masthead sloop, fractional sloop, marconi cutter, yawl, schooner, wishbone, top-sail gaff-cutter, bald-headed gaff-cutter, lateen, and Chinese Lug (Junk rig).
Flickas have crossed the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico and sailed to the Sea of Cortez from California, as well as cruised the Sea of Cortez. They have cruised the Mediterranean from France to Corsica and Minorca and even crossed France by canal.
There are few oceans which have not been explored by these seaworthy "little ships." Over the years, the Flicka has acquired a reputation for seaworthiness, speed under sail and bringing her crew back home from the sea.
Wherever the next harbor is, the Flicka is recognized - her perky sheer, blunt bow, beautiful transom are known to all sailors. The conversation usually begins with, "Is that a Flicka? Salty looking little boat. You can go anywhere in that boat - seaworthy. The Flicka is sailed by people all over the world."

Installing Rear Roll Pan & Hidden Trailer Hitch Kit - Go With The RollWritten by on April 1, 1999 Installing Street Scene's Rear Roll Pan And Hidden Trailer Hitch Kit
You can do a lot to your truck to improve its looks, but for a cost-to-results ratio, it's hard to beat ditching the rear bumper for a roll pan. Traditionally, bumpers are a classic example of function over form; they're really good at doing their job, but they don't look all that great, although we must admit that has started to change in the last couple of years. Even so, a roll pan gives the rear sheetmetal a clean, finished look you can't get with the stock bumper in place.
Roll pan designs are fairly simple, and a lot of companies make them for Rams and Dakotas. When it was time to clean up the back of our Dakota, we chose Street Scene's because it was the only one we've seen that looked as if it was designed specifically for the Dakota. The bottom of the pan has a scallop-or flair-that mirrors those found at the top of the tailgate and on the body sides. We also ordered their hidden receiver hitch kit to mount behind the license plate for towing and to hold Mopar Accessories' bike carrier.
The hitch kit mounts to existing holes in the frame with six bolts, so no drilling or welding is required. However, one thing we weren't expecting with the hidden hitch was the interference it caused with the spare tire. The stock spare won't fit with the hitch in place-the tire contacts the hitch frame by 2 inches on each side. One solution is to buy a new, smaller-diameter tire and mount it on the spare's rim. A potential problem with this is in case of a flat, you could end up with two different-diameter rear tires, which the differential probably won't like for too long. This is why "Dinky Doughnut" spares recommend 50 mph for no more than 50 miles. Other solutions include throwing the stock spare in the bed, or joining AAA. We've done the latter two, but aren't happy with those solutions. We'll probably mount a smaller-diameter spare, put it on the carrier mount under the truck, and hope we don't have to use it.
Another point of interest in our installation is that the Street Scene roll pan has the appropriate holes molded into it for the spare-tire winch crank, and what we believe is a hole to route any trailer wiring through, though we're not certain. We dropped the roll pan off at A Perfect Image to be painted, and asked shop owner Mike Volpe to 'glass over the holes and clean the roll pan further. This is where we learned the trick about leaving the gas filler door with the body shop, so they can match the paint. Removing the mystery hole doesn't present a problem, but access for the winch no longer exists. We're planning on shortening the shaft that drives the winch, and welding an old socket to the end of it, then operating it with a ratchet if the need ever arises. But the totally smoothed-off roll pan-sans holes-looks great.
Installation of the roll pan and hitch kit is fairly straightforward, and Street Scene provides a highly comprehensive set of instructions. One thing we would do differently is mount the roll pan before we had it painted, then remove it to have it painted. Although we didn't hurt the paint, installing the roll pan with the gelcoat finish the first time would have alleviated a lot of stress.

Our Gibson exhaust system was mounted in existing frame holes, but these were needed for the hitch kit, so the tailpipes were unbolted.Here you can see how the hitch mounts to the truck's framerails with the existing holes. They even include a notch cutout for the flat rivet in the frame. The hitch mount is fairly heavy, but if you don't mind bench-pressing it a few times up to the frame, it can be installed alone quickly.The tailpipes, as they were, interfered with the hitch frame. This necessitated a trip to The Muffler and Exhaust Center (TMEC) in Lakeland, Florida (941/665-9297), which did the original installation of the Gibson system to refit the tailpipes.This is a detail of the area on the roll pan we had reworked. The semicircle to the left corresponds with a hole in the sheetmetal below the tailgate, and the one above the license plate recess is for running the spare-tire winch. While you wouldn't see the semicircle when the roll pan is mounted and the gate is closed, you definitely see the winch handle hole. We had them filled over by A Perfect Image, then had the part painted to match our truck.Here's the roll pan after filling and painting. We've taken a strip of masking tape and covered the top edge of the pan where it mounts to the truck, so we could mark on it for locating and drilling holes to bolt it in place.Before we mounted the roll pan in place, we wanted to cut the access hole behind the license plate for the trailer hitch. We found the center of the license recess on the back of the roll pan, marked the location of the hitch, and found the center. The instructions that came with the hitch kit provided a template for this, but it indicated cutting out a huge rectangle behind the license plate. That would have been fine, but we did not want any chance of seeing the hole behind the plate. The small hole also will not let as much dirt and debris through, which should keep the license plate recess cleaner.We used a 311/44-inch hole saw, which was exactly big enough to let the ball mount through. Put masking tape on the painted side of the hole, and drill through from behind until the tip of the pilot bit comes through, then flip the panel over, and drill the hole out from the painted side. Drilling through the tape will keep the paint from chipping.We remasked from the painted side and hit the raw edge around our new hole with some black paint, primarily so we wouldn't see a white ring of raw fiberglass. Nobody else will ever see this, but it gave the hole a finished appearance from behind.We put a strip of masking tape on the inside of the quarter-panel's edge, below the tailgate, and marked where the bottom edge of the tailgate was in the closed, opening, and open positions. As the edge of the tailgate swings through it's arc while opening, it is lower than when it is in the full-closed or full-open position. The lowest point in the gate's travel is where the roll pan's clearance must be determined.
For the mounting holes on the roll pan, we measured in 1 inch from each side and marked them as the two outer mounting holes. We then measured the distance between these holes to find the center of the roll pan, and marked a hole there as well. Each half was once again divided, for a total of five mounting holes; one in the center and two on each side of the center. All the holes are 1⁄2-inch down from the top.After drilling the holes in the roll pan, we held it up to the back of the truck to mark the holes we would drill in the panel below the tailgate. We lined up the top edge with our predetermined line on the masking tape at the edges, and folded over some business cards to even up the gap between the quarter-panel and roll pan on both sides. Then the holes were transferred to the sheetmetal behind them.This is the part we always hate-drilling holes in sheetmetal. Seal the hole with a dab of silicone after you drill it.From underneath the truck, a fastener is installed in the side flanges to keep the roll pan anchored flush with the back panels. Without the screw in each side, the roll pan will move around a lot if it is only anchored along its top edge. Street Scene provided enough sheetmetal screws to mount the roll pan, but we upgraded them to panhead machine screws with Ny-lock nuts on the back (arrow). We were concerned with the sheetmetal screws loosening up over time; that won't be a problem with the Ny-lock nuts.This is the license plate light included with the Street Scene kit. It splices right into the existing wiring harness with no problems.We were originally going to go with a really cool, black anodized, lighted license plate frame from a street rod company, so we didn't cut the holes in the roll pan for the kit-supplied light. Then we were told that a flip-frame license plate has to flip up so the cops can still read your plate when looking down on it. The light built into the aluminum frame only allowed the frame to flip down because it came in contact with the top edge of the recess in the roll pan. This required the kit-supplied light. Because the roll pan was in place, we had to drill a series of small holes, lying on our back, and connect-the-dots with a small hacksaw. It was at that moment we remembered exactly why we hated working with fiberglass. Street Scene does supply a template, but we couldn't use it with the pan already bolted on. Had we just installed the kit per their plans, there would not have been any difficulty.This illustrates how the license frame flips up out of the way. The flip frame is a standard hidden gas filler style found on older cars. The spring it came with was so stiff, though, that it was actually bending the metal frame. We didn't want that kind of pressure on the fiberglass panel, so we removed it, and will replace it with a hardware store-supplied spring.From underneath the truck, you can see how the tailpipes were moved outboard by TMEC. You can also see that except for choosing a smaller-diameter tire, there really isn't another option if we want to keep the spare under the bed and out of sight.
Here's the reason we chose the hidden hitch mount-the Mopar Performance bike rack. The hitch is plenty strong enough to haul any trailer we'll ever tow with the truck, including a flatbed with a car on it. With the solid tonneau we have on the truck, we didn't want to damage it by loading and unloading bikes for trips to trails and parks. The MP bike rack is a complete kit, and includes a cable for locking up the bikes. The upright swings down, out of the way, with the bikes still on it, for access to the tailgate and the truck bed.

Can anyone tell me roughly what would be involved in creating an Android app based on the existing Zimbra mobile web client?
The reason I ask is because since Android doesn't support CalDAV, there's no way to get Zimbra calendar notifications on Android if you're using the Open Source version.
So I figure if you create something for Android that is kind of similar to Zimbra Desktop, only without the local message store you'd be able to interact with Android's notification system and not have to create a whole new interface.
I reckon a similar client would also work for stuff like WebOS, etc.
To quote my favorite Top Gear presenter, how hard could it be?

Video: Week one done, but not enough to find Coleman jury
Video: Chris Coleman jury selection enters week two
Pinckneyville, IL (KSDK) - Jury selection for the Chris Coleman triple murder trial entered its second week. Lawyers tell NewsChannel 5, they hope to have a jury picked early this week.
Lawyers on both sides are meeting this afternoon to discuss if they have a large enough pool of potential jurors to start picking the 12 jurors and four alternates needed. Lawyers have speculated that the jury could be picked by early this week. The actual trial is scheduled for April 25th in Monroe County, Illinois.
Judge Milton Wharton told the court this morning that he is placing a gag order on reporters and Coleman from talking to one another. The ruling stems from a question that was asked by a reporter on Friday as Coleman was walking to the courthouse. Judge Wharton told reporters not to say anything to Coleman as he is coming and going from courthouse. Judge Wharton said he had to weigh a reporter's first amendment right and the defendant's right to a fair trial when making such a decision. In the end, the most predominant thing is the defendants right to fair trial. The judge told the court that he was afraid a potential juror could hear one of the questions being answered by Coleman and that could be grounds for a mistrial.
Since Coleman's arrest in May 2009, he has yet to make a statement to media.
Coleman, 34, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder. He's accused of killing his wife and two kids in their Columbia, Illinois home in May of 2009. The prosecution claims Coleman killed his family to escape his marriage to be with his mistress. Coleman has pleaded not guilty to the crimes.
Last week, the attorneys and the judge conducted intense and often personal interviews of roughly 70 people. But they will need at least part of another week before Coleman can have his day in court.
Coleman stands accused of killing his wife and two sons, in their Columbia, Illinois home nearly two years ago. Attorneys want to find a jury to hear his case, one that hasn't already heard too much about it in the news.
About 60 miles from the crime scene, dozens of potential jurors reported to the Perry County Courthouse last week. There they answered question from prosecutors and defense attorneys focused on their fairness, and their willingness to consider both the death penalty and life without parole should they first convict Coleman.
"Someone who can kill a child is either evil or crazy... (and) would definitely deserve the death sentence," said one prospective juror Friday. She was dismissed, as were those adamantly opposed to a death sentence.
But not all of the questions centered on life or death. The judge pressed a Marine Reservist on his ability to be impartial, since Coleman also served as a Marine. The man assured the judge he could and added he had heard very little about the alleged crimes.
He, and 37 others, cleared the first round of interviews. But attorneys say that is still not enough to choose 12 jurors and 4 alternates, who will decide the fate of Coleman.
The judge scheduled a full two weeks just for jury selection.

Video: SCOTUS Issues Rulings On Gay Marriage
WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The Supreme Court has struck down the federal provision denying benefits to legally married gay couples on Wednesday morning. Supporters of same-sex marriage cheered after the decision.
SCOTUS found the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional as a deprivation of the equal liberty of persons in a 5-4 ruling.
Read the opinion for DOMA at the PDF link.
The Defense of Marriage Act was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996, and aimed to preserve the legal definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.
President Obama issued the following statement on Wednesday:
"I applaud the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act. This was discrimination enshrined in law. It treated loving, committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people. The Supreme Court has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it. We are a people who declared that we are all created equal - and the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.
This ruling is a victory for couples who have long fought for equal treatment under the law; for children whose parents' marriages will now be recognized, rightly, as legitimate; for families that, at long last, will get the respect and protection they deserve; and for friends and supporters who have wanted nothing more than to see their loved ones treated fairly and have worked hard to persuade their nation to change for the better.
So we welcome today's decision, and I've directed the Attorney General to work with other members of my Cabinet to review all relevant federal statutes to ensure this decision, including its implications for Federal benefits and obligations, is implemented swiftly and smoothly.
On an issue as sensitive as this, knowing that Americans hold a wide range of views based on deeply held beliefs, maintaining our nation's commitment to religious freedom is also vital. How religious institutions define and consecrate marriage has always been up to those institutions. Nothing about this decision - which applies only to civil marriages - changes that.
The laws of our land are catching up to the fundamental truth that millions of Americans hold in our hearts: when all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free."
In DC, The Very Rev. Gary Hall, dean of Washington National Cathedral, issued a statement about the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and allow same-sex marriage to resume in California rulings:
"Today's rulings announce a new era for our country, one in which married lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans can finally enjoy the same federal recognition and protection that our laws have for so long extended to their fellow citizens. I rejoice in the knowledge that the justices have reached a decision that makes our union-indeed all our unions-more perfect and certainly more equal....
"We are ringing our bells at the Cathedral to celebrate the extension of federal marriage equality to all the same-sex couples modeling God's love in lifelong covenants. Our prayers for continued happiness are with them and with all couples who will be joined in matrimony in the years to come, whether at Washington National Cathedral or elsewhere.
"Today's rulings advance civil marriage equality, but they should also serve as a call for Christians to embrace religious marriage equality. Countless faithful Christians have lived out their lives in committed same-sex relationships, and we have seen the fruits of their fidelity in our families, our congregations and our communities. If we use this historic moment to see more clearly how their faithfulness contributes to the common good, we will better be able to walk with our LGBT sisters and brothers as an act of Christian faith."
At noon, the Washington Ringing Society will attempt a quarter peal of the Cathedral's bells. Dean Hall also invites all LGBT couples and families to attend a special service at 7 p.m. Faith leaders will speak out in support of marriage equality at a press conference before the prayer service at 5 p.m.

Oh how I wish .... these are growing in a wooded area of my in-laws property.I was going to collect some seeds and try to grow some but in doing research I found out that in order for them to germinate the seeds need a particular fungus that is apparently rare.I guess I will just have to keep on visiting them each year ... lol

Nice Fort Layout
With the 91st Map of the Week we continue in the Slovanian Border March with a look at the Black Fortress settlement.
Key to the map of Black Fortress
1. Border Road. The road leads to Grainmill in the Southland County. A bit farther southeast of the mapped area it intersects with the road that connects Pavel's Mill in the Grainland County with the East Fortress.
2. Æsir Trail. The Border Road once connected the Æsir Austamæra town of Tarmylla (now Grainmill) with Lifehall (now Beinhöll) in Viðurland. North of the Black Fortress, the trail still leads to Bonehall, but it has deteriorated. This dangerous route is used today only by draugs, orcs, soldiers from the fortress and adventurers.
3. Gatehouse.
4. Garrison Brewhouse. Radmila, a 52-year-old refugee from the North Kingdom, brews the garrison's lager beer. Radmila was the only member of her family to survive he flight from the vampire draug kingdom. She is a human female artisan and master brewwife. She is aided by her laborer, Sergeant Kazímir, a human male warrior. Kazímir is a retired soldier who stayed on in the fortress. He and Radmila have small rooms on the second story of the brewhouse. Radmila is less than enthusiastic about her brew. She says that the well water beneath the fortress lacks the mineral balance it needs to produce excellent beer. Radmila uses barley malt and yeast from the Slovánski mainland, which are brought in by military supply caravans, and spruce gruit, which she makes herself.
5. Guardhouse.
6. Mess Hall (Mapped separately). Adventurers who spend a night in the fortress will find the equivalent of an innkeeper in Captain Květa, the 49-year-old human male warrior who serves as the mess officer. The mess hall has a second story open bay area with bunks where travelers can stay for 4 bronze pieces a night. They also can dine in the mess hall. Breakfast costs two bronze pieces. Dinner and supper are 5 bronze pieces each. A pint/half-liter of garrison beer costs 4 copper pieces. In general, travelers heading into the draug lands are allowed to stay for one night in the mess hall's sleeping bay. Those returning from the Fallen Empire may spend up to three days resting before continuing on. However, Květa can allow longer stays if he feels that there is good cause for them.
7. Magicians' Tower.
8. Garrison. The military headquarters and barracks are in this three-story structure. Ivona, a human female seer, is commander of the fortress. The healers Anitra and Sáva also have their clinic in the garrison. Both are experienced at healing and are at hand when there are wounded after a battle. However, Sáva spends most of his time making herbal remedies. Traveling adventurers can gain healing services for a fee when the two military healers have time for them. However, wounded soldiers always have priority.
9. Military Horse Stable.
10. Fortress Smithy. Master Weaponsmith and Armor Maker Bjarnhéðinn, a 63-year-old human male artisan, repairs the weapons and armor of the soldiers in the fortress. He is aided by an apprentice, the 22-year-old soldier Doubravka, a human female warrior, whom Ivona assigned to the job in the hopes that Bjarnhéðinn can train her to become a master smith who can succeed him one day. Doubravka is eager to succeed. When the workload allows it, they also will repair adventurers' armor and weapons for a fee.
You can get the map in two versions:
1. The Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 version in FMP format, fully editable, from our Jörðgarð web page (10 MB).
2. As a JPG flat map of 3000 Pixels x 2250 Pixels (2.8 MB), available above.

Des Moines Playhouse, Des Moines, IA
It's Cleveland Grand Opera Company's gala season opener. World famous tenor Tito Morelli is to perform Otello, but when he finally arrives, he's drunk. Through a hilarious series of mishaps, with two Otellos in costume and two women en dishabille, the farce spins out of control onstage and off. A sensation on Broadway and in London's West End.


text: November 16th, 2010-Prince William and Kate Middleton pose for photographs in the State Apartments of St James Palace in London, England. After much speculation, Clarence House today announced the engagement of Prince William to Kate Middleton. The couple will get married in either the Spring or Summer of next year and continue to live in North Wales while Prince William works as an air sea rescue pilot for the RAF. The couple became engaged during a recent holiday in Kenya having been together for eight years.
