A few pics of where we were hunting. Lizard came out to chill with me. Or I guess it's warm up
This is the dink we got. A crap ton of hunters and low deer numbers and we packed out the best buck we could find in 5 days of hunting and a 5 mile pack out. All and all it's better then a day at work. We kept a positive attitude and kept our spirits high while we were on the pack out. I did find 2 separate Mt Lion tracks wich was cool. Meat for the freezer, good memories, and a perfect cape for the taxi to use for someone else. All in all a success.
Awesome looking country....sounds like you had a good time so what the hell.
Ya the country is awesome. We had a good time. Just disappointing to have had such a great honey hole for years turn into crap. On the up side it's always cool to find a new honey hole for a few years and then come back. Maybe it will be back to the way it was. Thanx!
Congratulations IKIC, good buck for the conditions. Here's to hoping NDOW recognize their mistake and your honey hole once again is flourishing with too many bucks to count! Nice pictures too, thanks for sharing.
Congrats ikic. Hopefully he left you with some meat for all your help. As for your spot. Nothing gold can stay pony boy!! Thats the fun of being a hunter. Adapt overcome. Time for a new unexplored basin with resident deer that have never seen a human!
Looks like you had a fun hunt and you have some more good memories Ikeepitcold. Congratulations!
Congrats on a nice buck
Nothing wrong with that buck, good job IKIC, way to stick with it in tough conditions!
Way to go! Thats public land for ya.

6.0.2 is out with support for CardDAV which I know Mac/Zimbra people are waiting eagerly for so they can start syncing contacts between Address Book.app and their Zimbra servers. However, the bugzilla notes contain the following statement from Jong Yoon Lee:
I can confirm that OSX 10.6.1 and ZCS 6.0.2 don't talk - Address Book.app can't add my Zimbra account. Is there any further information or rumour on when Apple might do their end of the bargain? ..can I ask how you've tested CardDAV support (e.g. is there anything user-hackable on the OSX end that makes this work?)The current version of Snow Leopard Address Book app does not work on any CardDAV server other than Apple's. Zimbra will have CardDAV and Address Book app support by 6.0.2. Apple will release a patch for Address Book app that supports Zimbra and other 3rd party CardDAV server, but we don't know when.

(Former U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg (left) and AMA Vice President for Government Relations Wayne Allard.)
The AMA gave former U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.) its "Hero" award for his support of motorcyclists and all-terrain vehicle riders while in office.
Rehberg was singled out for his extraordinary efforts during the two-year 112th Congress that ended late last year. Specifically, he was honored for his tireless efforts to exempt kids' dirtbikes and ATVs from the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which had banned the sale of those vehicles.
Among other things, Rehberg introduced legislation to end the ban.
"Here again, a law meant to improve children's safety is actually being enforced in a way that puts kids in more danger than ever, while destroying jobs to boot," Rehberg said of the ban at the time. "It's critical that we put to rest any confusion once and for all so kids can just get outside and ride. There's no excuse for continued bungling that only stops kids from using the very youth-sized off-road vehicles that are intended to keep them safe."
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 banned the making, importing, distributing or selling of any product intended for children 12 and under that contained more than a specified amount of lead in any accessible part. On Aug. 12, 2011, President Obama signed into law H.R. 2715 to exempt kids' off-highway vehicles from the law.
"Rep. Rehberg deserves a lot of thanks for his efforts, not only for introducing legislation and speaking with his colleagues about the lead-law issue, but also for his support of the AMA Family Capitol Hill Climb lobbying day," said Wayne Allard, AMA vice president for government relations. "Families and their children came to Capitol Hill on that day to lobby their federal lawmakers, putting a human face on the issue. Rep. Rehberg was a tremendous help for that effort."

WASHINGTON (WUSA9)-- On this anniversary of the September 11th attacks...one flight crew vividly remembers where they were on that day in 2001. Nearly all air traffic was grounded over the nation's capital. But the medical team onboard the MedSTAR Transport chopper went back up, and rushed to help at the Pentagon.
Flight nurse Toby Kyle says the carnage they encountered on 9/11 is impossible to forgot. But the team put aside personal shock and horror to do what they do every day: act as airborne intensive care and trauma unit. It is mission that began thirty years ago, in the summer of 1983.
Dr. Christopher Wuerker is the medical director of MedSTAR Transport. (MedSTAR is an acronym for Medical Shock Trauma Acute Rescuscitation.) Dr. Wuerker says, "It started with a single helicopter here at Washington Hospital Center and that helicopter had a mission to go out and pick up trauma victims from the scene."
Back in the 1990's, when gang violence and feuds over crack cocaine earned DC the title of 'murder capital', the transport chopper brought an endless stream of gunshot victims to the hospital, many of whom wouldn't make it. But these days, this flying ambulance is used much more often to ferry critical ill patients from suburban and community hospitals who are in need of time-sensitive, specialized care. They come from Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Jim Weller has been a MedSTAR flight paramedic for 2 years. He explains, "We are picking up the sickest of the sick patients from the outlying hospitals and treating them like an ICU in the aircraft and bringing them back to a tertiary-care facility."
The space inside the chopper is incredibly tight; everything from IV's to airway supplies, ventilators and a defibrillator are packed inside. The team has many stories to tell of patients who've 'coded' mid-flight and survived... thanks to non-stop efforts at resuscitation.
Toby Kyle says, "We've been able to keep them going for prolonged periods of time, (people) who have beaten the odds and survived when their hearts have been stopped for up to 45 minutes."
MedSTAR Transport now operates three airbases and has a staff of 80, including pilots, flight nurses, paramedics, communications specialists and mechanics.
Even though nearly 40,000 patients have been safely flown since the first transport on July 3, 1983, there is still a flurry of activity and adrenaline every time a helicopter touches down on the hospital's rooftop landing pad.
Pilot Steve Shubert says, "We land here and before you know it, they are out and giving me the thumbs up and I'm coming around here to fuel."

Anchorage Share-A-Ride works to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality by promoting alternatives to driving alone. Serving the Municipality of Anchorage since the late 1970s, vanpooling was added in 1995. In addition to offering rideshare services to both commuters and employers, we promote transit, vanpooling, carpooling, biking and walking.
Through Share-A-Ride's vanpool program, eight to 13 people can share the ride to work for approximately $130* a month, a savings of thousands of dollars each year over the cost of driving to work alone. The longer your commute, the more economical a vanpool tends to be. One person usually drives and maintains the van while riders pay a monthly fare. We provide the van and your monthly fare covers fuel, maintenance, insurance and mileage.
Vanpooling is safe, reliable and the most cost effective means of commuting. Our vans are comfortably equipped with overhead reading lights, individually controlled heat/air vents and reclining high-back seating.
As of February 1, 2014, vRide, Anchorage Share-A-Ride's vanpool contractor, will provide carpool and vanpool ridematching services. vRide is happy to assist commuters looking to join an existing vanpool, wanting to start their own, or Vanpool Coordinators looking for more riders! Visit vRide.com to learn more.
*actual fare will vary based on choice of mileage program and number of active participants in each vanpool.
Carpooling is another great way to relax on your way to and from work, saving you money and reducing wear and tear on your vehicle.
Participants are matched by home and work locations as well as working hours. Once your commute information has been entered, you'll be able to view and contact potential matches to see which may be the best fit for you!

The UN-REDD Programme Policy Board is a consensus-based governing body made up of representatives from partner countries, donors to the Multi-Partner Trust Fund, civil society, indigenous peoples, and UN agencies. The Policy Board provides overall leadership, strategic direction and financial allocations to ensure the overall success of the Programme. There are a total of 4 indigenous peoples and 4 CSO representatives, one of each serving on the Policy Board as full members, supported by three regional observers. Observers and full members fully participate in the deliberations of the Board and full members have veto power. More information on the operation of the Policy Board can be found here.
In recognition of the fact that indigenous peoples' and CSO representatives from the global South may require resources in order to fulfil their role on the Board – such as communicating information on UN-REDD Programme activities, procedures and decisions to their regional constituencies, and gathering feedback - funds are made available to carry out activities at the regional and country levels in each of the three UN-REDD Programme regions (Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America and the Caribbean). Activities carried out by the indigenous peoples and civil society representatives to the Policy Board to date under this funding line include country-level consultations with indigenous and civil society stakeholders in Africa, and missions to countries in Latin America to support stakeholder engagement activities.
For More Information on our indigenous peoples representatives to the Policy Board please click HERE.
For More Information on our civil society representatives to the Policy Board please click HERE.
During the sixth Policy Board meeting held in Dalat, Viet Nam, the Policy Board decided that, with the exception of the indigenous peoples Full Member to the Policy Board who would always be the serving Chair of the UNPFII, the regional indigenous peoples and civil society representatives will be rotated every 2 years, with the current representatives' term concluding with the completion of the eighth Policy Board Meeting in 2012.
Responding to the request of the indigenous peoples and civil society representatives to the Policy Board, the UN-REDD Programme organizes a full-day meeting immediately preceding each Policy Board meeting where they can meet exclusively to coordinate and formulate positions and proposals to the Policy Board on key issues tabled for discussion.

Theyve competed for jobs, attention and even baseball stadiums. But especially for jobs. Greensboro and Guilford County seethed when Winston-Salem and Forsyth County outbid them by about $25 million to land Dell Inc.s computer plant, then watched as the Round Rock, Texas-based company announced plans to shutter the place. Though Winston and Forsyth got their money back, the episode showed what recruiters dont like to admit: Intraregional competition in the Triad is alive and well. Both cities bid this year for a Caterpillar Corp. factory, with Winston-Salem still under consideration.
The rivalry between the regions two largest cities could be entering the digital age, particularly as their economic developers step up recruitment of data centers behemoth buildings filled with rows of computer servers. Greensboro recently landed a $600 million one from New York-based American Express Co. that will employ about 50 initially but could add about 100 jobs without offering incentives. But both can point to support from site-selection experts.
The Boyd Co., a consultancy based in Princeton, N.J., published a study that concluded Winston-Salem has the nations fourth-lowest cost for operating data centers, while Ronald Bowman Jr., executive vice president of New York-based consultant Tishman Technologies Corp., says North Carolina in general and Greensboro in particular rank second among the worlds best sites for data centers. Boyd and Bowman agree that both places fill the basic requirements: cheap and reliable electricity, little threat of disruption from the weather, distance from likely terrorism targets, a good fiber-optic network and an educated workforce.
Recruiters for both cities say theyre pursuing data centers, but neither says it works against the other. We even work projects together from time to time, says Dan Lynch, president of the Greensboro Economic Development Alliance. His counterpart in the Twin City, Bob Leak of Winston-Salem Business Inc., says, I dont differentiate Winston-Salem from the rest of the region. I differentiate it against Richmond, Va., Washington, Atlanta and Jacksonville, Fla. In fact, he admits, his city has roughly the same assets as Greensboro.
They have a point. John Boyd Jr., a principal at The Boyd Co., included Greensboro and High Point in his information about Winston-Salem. The real competition for data centers lies in the Midwest particularly in states that have no corporate income taxes or sales taxes, he says. But Bowman believes Greensboro is the stronger candidate. It has better fiber and power distribution. It also has an intangible, courtesy of his global ranking. Theres a certain amount of swagger that comes to a city once it gains attention. That gives the user a lot of confidence.
But it might want to check that swagger at the door. Published reports in July said Microsoft Corp. was considering the region for a data-storage center that would cost at least $120 million and possibly billions. Its location: Mebane, in Alamance County. Could a new rivalry be brewing?
Tobacco money helped build Winston-Salem, but the golden leafs stature in the Twin City is steadily withering. Starting in January, city workers must take a test to prove they are tobacco-free or pay an undetermined increase in their health-insurance premiums. Officials say that will cut the citys health-care expenses, but they arent sure how much. In an unrelated move, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco will end cigarette production in the city by the middle of next year. It plans to shift 540 production workers and 40 salaried ones from a 49-year-old factory to a newer one in nearby Tobaccoville. That plant employs 1,100.
STAR Caye Upholstery planned to close two factories in North Carolina by the beginning of the month. About 90 workers lost jobs here, while 70 were laid off in Taylorsville. The New Albany, Miss.-based company decided to close the plants after a bank rejected a buyout offer from management.
GREENSBORO Passenger boardings at Piedmont Triad International Airport fell 36.1% between 1999 and last year. A dearth of discount airlines has prompted some passengers to drive to Charlotte or Raleigh for flights. Nevertheless, the airports new master plan calls for expansion over the next 50 years. It says the airport, which has shown increases in freight traffic, should add 50% more space and build a fourth runway.
WINSTON-SALEM Baltimore-based Wexford Science + Technology will spend $87 million to renovate two former R.J. Reynolds Tobacco buildings at Piedmont Triad Research Park. The development will contain 282,000 square feet of laboratory, office and other space. Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center plans to occupy 85% of the project.
GREENSBORO Swiss industrial conglomerate ABB plans to close its local plant by the end of the year and consolidate operations in Pinetops. The plant here employs 48. All but 10 were offered the chance to move to the Edgecombe County factory, which employs about 250.
THOMASVILLE BNC Bancorp raised $35 million in capital, primarily from New York-based private-equity firm Aquiline Capital Partners. The money will allow the bank to move quickly on acquisitions. In April, it bought Myrtle Beach, S.C.-based Beach First National Bank.
REIDSVILLE WhiteRidge Plastics plans to add 55 jobs within three years, giving it about 155 employees here. The company, part of Akron, Ohio-based Myers Industries, makes parts for automobiles, agricultural equipment and other uses.
SUMMERFIELD Atlanta-based SunTrust Banks dismissed foreclosure proceedings against Greensboro National Golf Club, canceling an auction of the 342-acre course and clubhouse. The bank allowed the owner, Eden-based Golf Venture, to search for a buyer but could reinstate foreclosure proceedings. Golf Venture owes $2.1 million.

What is the physical and/or chemical property inherent in a sandwich that makes it undeniably tastier when cut diagonally?
Trick question: As long as the sandwich is made by a woman, it will always taste undeniably tasty.
Cutting it diagonally exposes more of the tasty toppings/fillings on the inside and in turn it will create a more satisfying bite with high expectations.
I believe cutting diagonally creates 2 triangles which is a much stronger sandwich structure than a rectangle. This leads to better much more enjoyable sandwich experience.
While Fitzy speaks the truth, I point to this out:
D x S = TS
W x S = TS
then it comes to reason that
M x S = SS
D=Diagonal Cut
TS=Tasty Sandwich
SS=Superior Sandwich
Diagonal cut also decreases the crust:no-crust ratio of each sandwich halve, which some might find more appealing.

Exactly what I was going to post. Great minds think alike.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
The Official Paul Rhode's Salt Truck Driver.
Cutting diagonally creates unique sheer stresses in the bread while cutting which release flavor-enhancing peptides. The exact source of the peptides is unknown but they are believed to be related to transglutaminase enzyme which is added to the flour to improve the liquid-holding capacity and elasticity of the dough.
Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
Martin Luther King Jr.
The real answer is that mustard makes it taste better.
It's a myth perpetuated by those companies that sell the diagonal sandwich cutting jigs.

Wrong, you just don't have the right one. Pay the extra money for the organic sandwich cutting jig. It will change your life.
By cutting the sandwich in half, you nearly double the surface area of the sandwich, thus vastly increasing the surface area per volume ratio of each individual sandwich.

When my nephew was young you better cut it into what he called "sticks and triangles" or he flipped out.

If you have something to share with us that is relevant to the topic then by all means, have at it. Otherwise what you are doing is akin to hit and run vandalism and just as pointless.
And lastly, there is a thing called the ignore list, it works wonders. I have just added you to it along with all the other usual suspects.

i followd the recommended sizing chart and the suit was at least one size too big, filling up with water and making it very uncimfortable to use. Also, very hard to put on. Not worth the discounted price or any price for that matter. wish i can send mine back but sales were final on this open box demo piece.

Why is it denying relaying when the email is to the domain that is hosted on the server???
- I've tweaked /opt/zimbra/postfix/main.cf to set myhostname to mail.mydomain.ca without any apparent effect.
- mlind is a valid account in Zimbra and has as an alias a valid shell account name, though I don't expect the shell account to have any effect on this.
- Turning off dns lookups on the MTA tab also has no effect.
Looking through the admin guide and nothing jumps out at me... What am I missing?

Winnipeg, MB (Sports Network) - Andrew Ladd put up two goals and an assist in
regulation, then potted the game-sealing score in the shootout to give the
Winnipeg Jets a 4-3 decision over the Tampa Bay Lightning at MTS Centre.
Mike Santorelli was credited with the game-winner in the deciding phase, while
Blake Wheeler scored once and assisted on two others to help extend the Jets'
winning streak to four straight.
The victory moved Winnipeg into a tie with the New York Rangers, who lost at
Philadelphia earlier Tuesday, for the eighth and final playoff seed in the
Eastern Conference. The Rangers do hold a game in hand on the Jets, who have
five remaining in their regular-season schedule.
Goaltender Ondrej Pavelec did his part as well for Winnipeg, making 24 saves
in regulation and overtime before turning back both Tampa Bay skaters he faced
in the shootout.
The Lightning earned a point on third-period goals from Pierre-Cedric Labrie
and Steven Stamkos that erased a 3-1 deficit, with Ben Bishop registering 33
saves on the evening.

(Hey readers! I'm sure you've noticed a significant slow down in DtL posts. Well, you AREN'T insane, at least not right now. Life has decided I need to focus on some other things in my personal world like, oh, work that actually pays me something. I will PWP - post when possible. In the meantime, enjoy another edition of VANtage Point!)
Hey everyone and welcome back to VANtage Point, your weekly dose of up-close glances at tennis tournaments around the world. When last we left off, VP predicted the U.S. could put on a decent showing against the Czech Republic, but little did we know the squad had bigger goals than that! What will happen this week? Stay tuned! (You're supposed to read that with an announcer's voice for added effect!)
Anyway, let's get on with the Point, shall we?
A Look Back: The Fed Cup finals are set now as both Italy and a surprising U.S. team both pulled off upsets this past weekend over Russia and the Czech Republic, respectively. Both squads really pulled together with big performances at crucial moments. And I have to tell you this: Admittedly, I've been kind of lukewarm about Fed Cup in the past, but if you get action and clutch play like what was on display this weekend, then sign me up as a full-fledged fan!
This Week's Spotlight: Ever since I was a wee VANtage Pointer, the ATP Masters 1000 Internazionali BNL D'Italia has been one of my favorite tournaments on tour. I became a fan of it waaay back when, in 1989, watching Andre Agassi and former Argentine Davis Cup captain Alberto Mancini duke it out in the finals, with Mancini winning. Novak Djokovic is the defending champ. What? A clay tournament without Rafael Nadal holding the title? He lost early last year and Roger Federer lost in the quarterfinals. They're back, with all the usual suspects. And what's this? Sightings of Americans in a clay-court tournament draw? Well, one of them is already gone as James Blake has already lost. To a qualifier, no less.
Players to Watch: You know who I think is rounding into decent form and could make a good run here? Nikolay Davydenko. I think he's gradually getting his legs under him after missing so much time this year. Also, I think Tommy Robredo can make a good run at the event. Andy Murray has a pretty tough draw, and I'm anxious to see what he does in the second round against Juan Monaco.
The Final Four: Shock of shocks, I'm picking Nadal to get that far and take out Davydenko. On the other side of the draw, I think it'll be Robredo versus David Ferrer, with Ferrer winning that all-Spanish matchup.
And the Winner Is: It's déjà vu all over again as Rafa takes out Ferrer for the second week in a row.

Thanks Van, as always, for your insights!ReplyDelete
I agree - this weekend has made me a Fed Cup fan. I would've loved to see the Italy vs. Russia tie as well, but U.S.A. vs. Czech Repub. offered a ton of drama, anyway.
Hats off to Mary-Joe for forming such a clutch team. Really impressive.
Rich - We all miss you! Hope you'll be back soon. (Totally understand the work vs. blogging vs. life conundrum.)
Rich, do you mean to tell me that ogling pictures of Rafa all day long isn't paying me anything? Well hell, I gotta go find real work, too.ReplyDelete
Gosh Narik, if *that* pays, I'd be one of the richest woman in the wurrrld.ReplyDelete
Good luck Rich. I just had a job interview today. The nerves almost killed me.
And Van, I always enjoy Vantage point!
You need a rimshot. I mean that in every way possible.
I cry myself to sleep at night without you. WHY Tennis Channel doesn't call you for a weekly program is beyond comprehension. Oh, *hits self on head* that's right, they're idiots.
I'm not into Fed Cup, but maybe Mary Jo should coach Federer. Just sayin'.
Van or Richie, thanks for the Rafa pic! natch very happy now. :D
Good to see you back even if it's just an italicized notation! I hope real life treats you well.ReplyDelete
I've been to several blogs and been somewhat surprised to read picks for Ferrer to make a deep run at Rome. I just didn't see it happening. It seemed like the back-to-back tournament thing would depress his chances of making it into the second round or barring that, out of the second. Currently the scoreline in his match is sadly proving me correct. ;_; I think Fed has a relatively easy ride into the semis, if he has his game face on. Murray's draw is pretty tricky and could understandably upset him but ranking could also hold true so toss-up. Strangely enough I find myself giving the edge to Davydenko should he get far enough to meet him. Nadal's draw is definitely tough from 2nd round to (potentially) last; I see him coming through though. Djokovic's draw has tough opponents but he'll get to the semis and it's a toss-up between him and Fed in my opinion.

Yes Rich, you are very well miss, but its completely understandable what you and many of us are passing in this tough moments... and like Béla Károlyi said "shake it off baby...shake it off"!!ReplyDelete
Hey Rich, Guillermo Coria announced his definitive retirement from tennis yestarday during an interview. You can get more info at Fue Buena. Certainly a baller we all miss.ReplyDelete
Aaaaaand, Gastón Gaudio won a match! Challenger match, but hey, we can't get too picky whith this guy, right?
I just watch Juan Monaco beat Murray....I always forget how hot Monaco is until clay court season rolls around...we need to get this guy in a speedo :)ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Aw, Coria is such a cutie. I will miss him for sure.ReplyDelete
Terry Lee,
You said a mouthful! ;)
*waves to Richie, blows kisses*
I thought Davydenko and Ferrer were in good shape here going in: I guess not! Looks like my anxiousness about Murray-Monaco was right: I guess that's more Monaco for you all to see!ReplyDelete

well u'll have to redo ur final four...cuz davydenko and ferrer area already out and tommorow Robredo goes against Djokovic, so I doubt he'll advance!ReplyDelete
Once they're picked Anon 12:15, I stick with them!ReplyDelete

Over the years, we have supported a variety of projects in the communities where we source our coffees. These projects sometimes have a social focus, like a drink-your-own-coffee campaign in Rwanda. At other times, our projects benefit the natural environment, as exhibited by a reforestation effort in Huehuetenango, Guatemala. In every case, however, these projects are important tools for us to use to add value to our relationships and deepen our commitment to real sustainability at each stage in the coffee chain.
Recently, we formalized that participation into a program called Seeds: Sustaining Environmental and Educational Development at Source. The first project to receive funding from the Seeds program is a training and capacity-building program run by the Cenfrocafe co-operative in San Ignacio, Peru, which brings us coffee from the five small communities of Valle del Santuario. With more than 2,000 families to represent and support, the agronomists, soil specialists, and coffee-quality-development staff employed directly by Cenfrocafe struggle to reach of the co-op's members on a regular basis.
About two years ago, Cenfrocafe received a grant to develop a train-the-trainer program for a group of 50 young people, all of whom are the children of co-op members. These promotores (promoters) have learned about everything from soil-building practices to cupping for quality and they are now empowered to teach! The most recent phase of the initiative has been to set up a small coffee plot in each community where the local youth promoter can demonstrate good growing techniques, with an emphasis on organic management, stable levels of production, and high-quality coffee. Sounds awesome, right?
This project fits perfectly with the goals of Seeds and our company's overall commitments to coffee education and to creating coffee people at every stage in the supply chain. Our Seeds project provided the funding for three demonstration plots, which not-so-coincidentally belong to the three promoters based in the communities where we source Valle del Santuario! I am excited about the long-term potential of this project and I can't wait to both see these demonstration plots and talk to some of the older growers in the area about the impact of the on-the-ground youth promoters. Until then, I hope this makes your morning cup of Valle del Santuario taste extra sweet.

That's a nice map.
Here's a map I did for BastionLightbringer over on EN World's Free Map Request thread. I used the Peter Fenlon style pack from the January 2008 Cartographer's Annual and some of the symbols I created from the TrueType dingbat symbols font that comes with the AutoREALM program available here.
That's a nice map.

Any questions on CC3? Post them with CC3 in the Subject Line!
MY 'FAMOUS' CC3 MAPS: Thunderspire; Pyramid of Shadows; King of the Trollhaunt Warrens; Demon Queen's Enclave
Very Nice Map Jaerdaph, clear and eye-catching. I really like it. Now, would you like to sign up for the Collaborative World Mapping Project now or would you like to attend a no-obligations presentation?
The internet! It\'ll never catch on.
Software Used: Terranoise, Wilbur, Terragen, The Gimp, Inkscape, Mojoworld
I really like the bright, crisp colour scheme, jaedaph. I wonder with CC3 maps whether, as postwork it would be worth taking it into Gimp or Photoshop to get rid of the aliasing by giving it a one pixel blur. Must try it when I get home.
I didn't find a one pixel blur useful on my Vendria map. The features all looked great, but the only way I could get acceptable antialiasing for my text was to do the labeling in Corel Photopaint. Of course, my chosen font had very narrow lines, so that may have had quite a bit to do with it.
The aliasing issue is the biggest issue I have with CC3 at the moment. I like it for building terrain, but I think I'll continue doing my labeling and icons in a raster program.
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
Thanks everyone. This map is entirely CC3 work - I exported the JPG directly from CC3.
I've never liked how fonts look when exported from CC2 (and now CC3) either. I think I might start labeling my CC3 maps as post-work in another program like GIMP or Fireworks.
I just wish the firm I'm working at now would let me install CC3 on my computer. I get extended periods of downtime before the crunch sets in again, and it would be nice to be able to do something besides twiddle my thumbs and surf the net.
Jaerdaph rocks.
'nuff said.

Injured truck driver released from hospital
Published: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
OCALA - A man injured when the truck he was driving overturned late last week has been released from a hospital.
Matthew Joseph Lare, 54, of Williston, was driving a log truck west on County Road 318 near Citra last Thursday. He was going around a curve when a rear tire blew out and caused the truck to roll over, spilling logs onto the road, officials said.
Lare, who was out of the cab when Marion County Fire Rescue officials arrived, was taken to Ocala Regional Medical Center in stable condition.
Lare's wife said he was on his way from Williston to Palatka to drop the logs off at a mill.
An ORMC spokesperson said late Tuesday that Lare had been released.

Phoenix man pleads guilty in girlfriend's death
PHOENIX - A Phoenix man accused in the beating death of his girlfriend in 2011 has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 40-year-old Paul Lavon Hamilton also pleaded guilty Friday to kidnapping and threatening/intimidation charges.
He's scheduled to be sentenced on April 19.
Hamilton was arrested in May 2011 after 46-year-old Stephanie Joyce was found dead inside a pickup truck in north Phoenix.
He was taken into custody on suspicion of second degree murder, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Phoenix police say it first appeared that Joyce was passed out in the vehicle in the parking lot of a convenience store.
But officers discovered Joyce was dead from blunt-force injuries and that led to Hamilton's arrest.

It was a privilege to go to the Omo Valley in Ethiopia with my friend, John Rowe, to photograph
the work he is doing with Lale Labuko in their work to end the practice of mingi and to house
and shelter the mingi children who have already been rescued.
I met John in Burma a few years ago. He is a photographer and
successful businessman who has founded companies which develop software
for digital media and the entertainment industry.
He has also devoted a tremendous amount of time, energy, and
financial assistance to the work of Omo Child.
Lale was born into the Kara Tribe in the Omo River Valley.
He was one of the first of his tribe to receive a formal education.
That opportunity led him to realize the critical importance of ending the tribal ritual of Mingi.
Outlawing and stopping this devastating practice of Mingi is his life's mission.
Lale Labuko, founder of OMO Child
Mingi is the ritualistic killing of infants and children who are mingi
because they are considered impure or cursed.
A child can be mingi for many reasons, but once they are mingi they are
left alone in the desert without food and water or drowned in a river.
Once safely in the care of the loving and nurturing care of nannies at the Omo Child shelter,
they are fed, clothed, sheltered and educated.
The hope is that the rescued children will be future leaders in their communities and
will help raise awareness to help advocate the ending of the tribal practice of mingi.
The Omo River Valley is located in Southwest Ethiopia, Africa. It has been called "the last frontier" in Africa.
There are nine main tribes that occupy the Omo River Valley, with a population of approximately 225,000 tribal peoples.
The majority of the people living in the Omo River Valley live without clean drinking water and without medical care.
Please join me to help John and Lale rescue and care for these children.
Steve McCurry in the Omo Valley

I have a Panasonic projector that is 4 years old with a lamp that is ready to be replaced. This would be an awesome upgrade!
Digital Projection M-Vision Cine 230 Projector Sweepstakes

For complete sweepstakes rules, click here.
[This sweepstakes is now closed.]
Where's the sweepstakes for the 10' screen I also need?
Oh, yes, please pick me...then I can finish my home theater upon your sweet generousity!
The Digital Projection M-Vision Cine 230 Projector is just what the doctor ordered. I still find DLP technology to bring a picture quality that ensures a richer cinematic experience.
This would be a great motivator to get my framed up basement project into high gear!
Shut the front door!! ... and then stick in a movie and enjoy the best type of entertainment home theater has to offer. You can never go too big!
Great projector for a home theater upgrade ..
I've been wanting a projector for some time and this would absolutely make me happy!
Would be really cool to win this! Have been reading HT for years now!
If I win this, I will hook up my VCR to it and watch my collection of MacGyver shows. MacGyver rules!
It's about time to upgrade my 720.
This would be a great addition to my home theater
I would love to have this in my living room/sound room
I definitly do not want to win this projector.
(Reverse psychology works every time)
Building a new home -- start off with the home theater. This projector is exactly what I would want to use.
Sounds like a great projector at the right price!
I could really use this projector.
As a reward for years of being polite and kind, as well as extremely modest, I really deserve this. Otherwise I may become cranky.
This would most certainly be a sensational addition to our home theater...which is actually just a living room with some electronic stuff in it, and a TV. Winning this may require the addition of a dedicated theater, which would in turn require the procurement of an entirely new and significantly larger domicile...this could get complicated.
sure would beat the old 32 inck crt im using now as my dlp bit the dust and im now under employed so cant upgrade
Digital Projection has a great reputation. It would be perfect for a medium-sized theater I'm in the process of building.
I have an old NEC HT1000 which is an antique. It would be wonderful to be able to upgrade to the Digital Projection M-Vision Cine 230 Projector!
This would be the icing on the cake.
I would love to have this projector in my home.

Landover, MD (Sports Network) - Robert Griffin III posted the biggest win of
his rookie season as his touchdown pass in the fourth quarter helped
Washington edge New York, 17-16, in an NFC East battle at FedEx Field. With
the win, the struggle for the top spot in the division got a little
closer as the Giants (7-5) now hold just a one-game lead over the Redskins
(6-6) and Cowboys, who defeated the Eagles on Sunday night. Griffin passed
for 163 yards on 13-of-21 attempts and added 72 yards on five carries as
Washington won its third straight, all against division opponents. Alfred
Morris carried the ball 22 times for 124 yards while Pierre Garcon caught
eight passes for 106 yards and a touchdown in the win. Eli Manning was 20-
for-33 with 280 yards and a touchdown and Martellus Bennett had five catches
for 82 yards and a score for the Giants, who have dropped three of their
last four. Ahmad Bradshaw totaled 103 yards on 24 carries along with two
catches for 13 yards and Victor Cruz grabbed five passes for 104 yards in the
Sunday, December 2nd
Final Score: Buffalo 34, Jacksonville 18
Orchard Park, NY (Sports Network) - Despite only passing for 112 yards, Ryan
Fitzpatrick did account for three touchdowns in leading the Buffalo Bills to a
34-18 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fitzpatrick threw touchdowns to
Stevie Johnson and Scott Chandler to go along with a rushing score. He
completed only 9-of-17 attempts. The Buffalo tandem of Fred Jackson and
C.J. Spiller combined to run for 186 yards. Jackson finished with 109 yards
on 25 carries, while Spiller totaled 77 yards -- 44 of which came on a
fourth-quarter touchdown -- for the Bills (5-7). Chad Henne was 18-of-41 for
208 yards with one touchdown and an interception for Jacksonville (2-10).
Final Score: Seattle 23, Chicago 17 (OT)
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Sidney Rice's 13-yard touchdown catch in
overtime lifted the Seattle Seahawks over the Chicago Bears, 23-17. Rice ended
with six catches for 99 yards for the Seahawks (7-5), who have won three of
four. Golden Tate hauled in five passes for 96 yards and a score. Russell
Wilson completed 23-of-37 passes for 293 yards and two touchdowns for Seattle,
which improved to 2-5 on the road this season. Wilson also carried the ball
nine times for 71 yards. Marshawn Lynch rushed for 87 yards and a
touchdown on 19 carries for the victors. Jay Cutler connected on 17-of-26
passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns for the Bears (8-4), who are tied
with the Packers for first place in the NFC North. Green Bay beat the
Vikings on Sunday. Matt Forte carried the ball 21 times for 66 yards and
caught three passes for 30 yards and a score. Brandon Marshall hauled in 10
passes for 165 yards.
Final Score: Indianapolis 35, Detroit 33
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Andrew Luck and Donnie Avery got together on a
14-yard score on the final play of the game as the Indianapolis Colts shocked
the Detroit Lions, 35-33, at Ford Field on Sunday. The Colts (8-4) were
down by 12 points late in the game, but went on two straight scoring drives
that Luck capped with touchdown passes to help the team win for a sixth time
in the past seven games. Luck finished the game 24-for-54 for 391 yards with
four touchdown passes and three interceptions, while also totaling 33
rushing yards on three carries. Avery caught two of the scores, while
LaVon Brazill and Coby Fleener each caught a touchdown pass in the win.
Detroit's Calvin Johnson continued his fantastic run with 13 catches for 171
yards and a touchdown. Matthew Stafford passed for 313 yards, two touchdowns
and an interception on 27-of-46 attempts, while Brandon Pettigrew also
caught a touchdown pass for the Lions (4-8), who have dropped their past four
games to hurt their chances of consecutive playoff appearances.
Final Score: Green Bay 23, Minnesota 14
Green Bay, WI (Sports Network) - Aaron Rodgers threw for 286 yards and a
touchdown and the Green Bay Packers scored 13 unanswered points in the second
half to rally for a 23-14 victory over the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field.
James Starks accounted for the go-ahead score with a 22-yard run late in the
third quarter and Mason Crosby kicked three field goals to help Green Bay
(8-4) bounce back from last week's 38-10 loss at the New York Giants, which
ended a five-game winning streak for the defending NFC North champions.
Rodgers completed 27-of-35 passes with one interception for the Packers, who
have now prevailed in five straight meetings with the Vikings and 10 in a row
against divisional foes. Minnesota (6-6) was dealt its fourth defeat in five
games despite a 210-yard, 21-carry effort from Adrian Peterson that
included a career-long 82-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. The
star running back eclipsed the century mark for the sixth consecutive
contest, breaking a team record he had shared with Robert Smith. While
Peterson was outstanding, Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder
struggled. The second-year pro managed just 119 yards with a touchdown, while
tossing two interceptions and hitting on 12-of-25 attempts.
Final Score: Kansas City 27, Carolina 21
Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - An already challenging season for the
Kansas City Chiefs only got tougher following Saturday's tragic events. But
the show went on. And somehow the Chiefs avoided tying their longest losing
streak in franchise history. Just over 24 hours after linebacker Jovan
Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend before taking his own life at the team's
facility, the Chiefs resiliently took the field and downed the Carolina
Panthers, 27-21, snapping their eight-game slide. Brady Quinn threw for 201
yards and two touchdowns on 19-of-23 efficiency for the Chiefs (2-10), who
avoided joining the 1987 and 2007 Chiefs as the only teams to lose nine
straight games in franchise history. Jamaal Charles carried the ball 27 times
for 127 yards in the win. Cam Newton completed 15-of-27 passes for 232
yards and three scores, while adding 78 yards on the ground for the
Panthers (3-9), who downed the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday.
Final Score: New England 23, Miami 16
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - The New England Patriots clinched the AFC East on
Sunday. It was far from easy, however. Tom Brady's rhythm was disrupted by a
spirited Miami defense, but the Patriots capitalized on several miscues on
their way to a 23-16 victory at Sun Life Stadium. Brady was 24-of-40 for
238 yards with one touchdown pass to Wes Welker and a rare interception.
Stevan Ridley scored on a short touchdown run and picked up critical yards on
a fourth-quarter drive to help New England (9-3) prevail and capture the
division crown for the 10th time in 12 years. Welker had 103 yards on 12
grabs, tying Jerry Rice's NFL record for most games with 10-plus receptions at
17. Rookie Ryan Tannehill completed 13-of-29 passes and finished with 186
yards for the Dolphins (5-7).
Final Score: NY Jets 7, Arizona 6
East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - Greg McElroy came in relief of Mark
Sanchez in the third quarter and passed for the lone touchdown of the game
to Jeff Cumberland, as the Jets escaped with a 7-6 victory over the
Arizona Cardinals in an otherwise offensively challenged football game. Tim
Tebow, the regular backup to Sanchez, was inactive for the game due to a rib
injury. For the first time in his career, McElroy was active for a regular
season game and took advantage of the opportunity in helping the Jets (5-7)
get back on track after an embarrassing blowout loss to New England on
Thanksgiving night. McElroy completed 5-of-7 throws for 29 yards, including
his 1-yard toss to Cumberland early in the fourth quarter. Sanchez threw
three first-half interceptions and threw for just 97 yards on 10-of-21
passing before being pulled. Arizona rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley may
have been worse, however, as he was constantly harassed by the Jets
defense. He completed just 10-of-31 throws for 72 yards with an
interception and failed to help the Cardinals (4-8) convert on a single
third down. They finished 0-for-15 for the game in suffering their eight
straight defeat following a 4-0 start.
Final Score: St. Louis 16, San Francisco 13 (OT)
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - For the second time in three weeks, the St.
Louis Rams and San Francisco 49ers battled past regulation in a hard-fought
NFC West tussle. But unlike their Week 10 meeting, Sunday's eerily similar
tilt ended with a winner, as Greg Zuerlein connected on a 54-yard field
goal with 26 seconds remaining in OT to give the Rams a 16-13 victory at
Edward Jones Dome. St. Louis (5-6-1) remained unbeaten against division foes
despite being held to 293 yards. Steven Jackson, one week after amassing
a season-high 139 rushing yards, was limited to 48 yards on 21 carries,
while Sam Bradford completed 26-of-39 passes for 221 yards. This was the
first loss for division-leading San Francisco (8-3-1) since a 26-3 thumping
by the New York Giants on Oct. 14. Colin Kaepernick, in his third game as
starter after Alex Smith suffered a concussion against the Rams, had two
costly mistakes in the setback. The inexperienced signal-caller was
whistled for a safety and lost a fumble that resulted in a tying touchdown
and two-point conversion with 3:04 to play in the fourth quarter.
Final Score: Houston 24, Tennessee 10
Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Matt Schaub completed 21-of-35 passes for 207
yards and two touchdowns to lead the Houston Texans to a 24-10 win over the
Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Texans' defense forced three interceptions
and recovered three fumbles, while Arian Foster carried the ball 14 times
for 38 yards and a touchdown and Lestar Jean had a 54-yard touchdown
reception for Houston (11-1), which clinched its second consecutive playoff
berth with the win. Tennessee's Jake Locker was 21-for-45 passing for 309
yards and a touchdown, but threw three interceptions. Nate Washington had
three catches for 96 yards and Chris Johnson rushed for 51 yards on 13
carries for the Titans (4-8), who have dropped four of their last five games
Final Score: Denver 31, Tampa Bay 23
Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Peyton Manning had three touchdown passes and
the Denver Broncos clinched the AFC West with a 31-23 win over the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers. Manning went 27-for-38 with 242 yards and an interception as the
Broncos (9-3) won their seventh straight game and clinched their division
for the second straight year and 12th time in franchise history. Also, Manning
moved past Dan Marino for second place all-time for completions and now
has 4,986 for his career. Demaryius Thomas totaled eight catches for 99 yards
and two touchdowns, while Knowshon Moreno had 69 yards on 20 carries and added
four catches for 14 yards in the win. Josh Freeman went 18-for-39 with
242 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, with Mike Williams and
Dallas Clark each catching a scoring pass in the loss for the Buccaneers
(6-6), who have dropped their past two games. The loss by Tampa Bay allowed
Atlanta to clinch the NFC South. The Falcons had defeated the New Orleans
Saints on Thursday night.
Final Score: Pittsburgh 23, Baltimore 20
Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Shaun Suisham buried a 42-yard field goal as
time expired on Sunday and the Pittsburgh Steelers exacted a bit of revenge
against the Baltimore Ravens with a 23-20 triumph at M&T Bank Stadium. The
Ravens defeated the Steelers, 13-10, in Pittsburgh just two weeks ago, but
third-string quarterback Charlie Batch, making his second straight start in
place of Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich, was able to chew up the final
6:14 of game clock with a 12-play, 61-yard march that culminated in Suisham's
game-winning kick. Batch finished 25-of-36 passing for 276 yards and a
touchdown with one interception. Jonathan Dwyer carried the ball 16 times
for 49 yards and a score for Pittsburgh (6-6), which bounced back from
an eight-turnover performance in a 20-14 loss to Cleveland last weekend.
Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco completed 16-of-34 passes for 188 yards and a
touchdown with one interception, while Ray Rice rushed for 78 yards and a
score on 12 carries for the Ravens (9-3), who had won 16 consecutive home
games since a 13-10 setback to Pittsburgh on Dec. 5, 2010.
Final Score: Cleveland 20, Oakland 17
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Brandon Weeden threw for 364 yards and a
touchdown to help the Cleveland Browns take a 20-17 decision over the Oakland
Raiders on Sunday. Weeden overcame two first half interceptions to complete
25-of-36 throws. He led an important touchdown march late in the fourth
quarter to help secure the victory, the Browns' (4-8) first on the road this
season. Trent Richardson capped Cleveland's final score with a touchdown run.
He ran for 72 yards on 20 carries to give the Browns their second straight
victory. Josh Gordon finished with a career-high in both receptions and yards,
hauling in six passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in the win. Carson Palmer
passed for 351 yards and two touchdowns on 34-of-54 attempts for Oakland
(3-9), but his interception in the fourth led to the Browns' touchdown.
Brandon Myers hauled in a career-high 14 catches for 130 yards and a touchdown
in the Raiders' fifth straight loss.
Final Score: Cincinnati 20, San Diego 13
San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Andy Dalton shook off two interceptions by
capping a late scoring drive with a go-ahead touchdown run in the fourth
quarter, as the Cincinnati Bengals escaped Qualcomm Stadium with a 20-13 win
over the struggling San Diego Chargers. For the fourth time this season, the
Chargers blew a fourth-quarter lead, as Dalton culminated a 14-play, 55-yard
drive that ended with his 6-yard plunge over the goal line for a 17-13 lead.
Philip Rivers fumbled deep in his own territory on the ensuing possession and
threw an interception in the end zone in the final minute to seal the
Chargers' (4-8) fourth consecutive loss. Cincinnati (7-5) stayed in the AFC
playoff hunt by running its winning streak to four games. Dalton finished
with 211 yards and a touchdown on 25-of-39 attempts, while BenJarvus
Green-Ellis reached the century mark on the ground for the third straight
week, gaining 118 yards on 25 carries. Rivers started strong but completed
just 26-of-48 passes for 280 yards. Demorrio Williams scored San Diego's
lone touchdown on an interception return.
Final Score: Dallas 38, Philadelphia 33
Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Tony Romo threw for three touchdowns,
including the go-ahead, 6-yard score to Dez Bryant late in the fourth quarter,
to lead the Dallas Cowboys past the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-33, on Sunday
night. Romo completed 22-of-27 passes for 303 yards and three scores to give
him 168 passing touchdowns in his career and make him the Cowboys' all-time
leader in passing TDs. Troy Aikman previously held the record with 165. Bryant
finished with 98 yards and two scores on six receptions, while DeMarco Murray
returned from a six-game absence and racked up 83 yards and a touchdown on 23
carries for Dallas (6-6). Jason Witten had a game-high 108 yards on six
catches in the Cowboys' third win in four games. Nick Foles went 22-for-34
through the air for 251 yards and a touchdown in his third consecutive start
for Philadelphia (3-9) in place of an injured Michael Vick. Bryce Brown
followed his impressive debut with another big game, recording 169 yards and a
pair of touchdowns on 24 carries, but lost a costly fumble late in the fourth
quarter as the Eagles dropped their eighth straight game for the first time
since opening the 1968 campaign at 0-11.
Thursday, November 29th
Final Score: Atlanta 23, New Orleans 13
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - The Atlanta Falcons made a statement Thursday
night, picking off New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees a career-high five times
and ending his remarkable consecutive games streak with a touchdown pass in a
23-13 victory over the Saints at the Georgia Dome. Matt Ryan completed 18-
of-33 passes for 165 yards with a touchdown for the Falcons (11-1), who
avenged their lone defeat of the season and snapped a four-game losing
streak to the Saints. Atlanta also clinched the NFC South division title when
the Buccaneers lost to the Broncos on Sunday. New Orleans (5-7), meanwhile,
saw its playoff hopes become even slimmer with its second straight loss.
Brees, who had 341 passing yards, failed to throw a touchdown pass
for the first time since Week 4 of the 2009 campaign, snapping a his
NFL-record streak at 54 games.

Nate Davis, USA TODAY Sports
1. Kansas City Chiefs - Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M: In a draft dominated by linemen, the Chiefs get their pick ... assuming they keep the No. 1 pick after their free agency makeover. But with RT Eric Winston gone, and LT Branden Albert currently signed only through this season - and possibly on the trade block - Joeckel, regarded as a can't-miss prospect in most circles, makes sense in any scenario.
3. Oakland Raiders - Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia: Carson Palmer isn't the long-term solution, and Terrelle Pryor almost surely isn't, either. Smith (42 TDs, 6 INTs, 71.2% completion rate as a senior) has been steadily rising for weeks and could climb this high four weeks from now ... whether that means the Raiders take him or trade out to bank needed choices while another team claims Smith.
4. Philadelphia Eagles - Star Lotulelei, DL, Utah: After he participated in a March 20 pro day, concerns about his heart seem to be abating. The Eagles have jettisoned most of last season's defensive linemen as they switch to a three-man front, and Lotulelei is a three-down player who can man the nose or five-technique.
5. Detroit Lions - Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan: He remains in state for a team that lost both its starting tackles this offseason after Jeff Backus' retirement and Gosder Cherilus' free agent defection. Fisher and 2012 first-rounder Riley Reiff could anchor the line for the next decade.
NFL DRAFT | How Other Experts Think the Draft Will Go
6. Cleveland Browns - Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama: Good size (6-0, 201 pounds) and good speed, and that means a good fit in a division where Cleveland must deal with WRs A.J. Green and Torrey Smith. Milliner and Joe Haden could instantly form one of the league's better corner tandems.
7. Arizona Cardinals - Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma: If he continues to blossom, Johnson (a former tight end and quarterback) might wind up as this draft's best blocker. Taking him would allow Arizona to keep Levi Brown on the right side where he belongs while stabilizing a depleted unit that couldn't run- or pass-block in 2012.
8. Buffalo Bills - Chance Warmack, G, Alabama: The man many rate as the draft's best player would instantly negate the free agent loss of Andy Levitre while becoming a fast friend of RB C.J. Spiller's. Buffalo clearly needs a quarterback, too, but would be wise to trade back into the latter part of the first round if not wait until Round 2.
9. New York Jets - Dion Jordan, OLB, Oregon: Rex Ryan has never had the benefit of a formidable pass rusher since coming to New York in 2009. Jordan could change that while addressing a hole for a team that let starting OLBs Calvin Pace and Bryan Thomas go this offseason. And the Jets will have to rely more on pressure if they ultimately subtract lockdown corner Darrelle Revis.
10. Tennessee Titans - Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State: Rhodes (6-2, 210 pounds) is even bigger than Milliner at a position that's increasingly putting a premium on size. The Titans need more talent on a defense that allowed a franchise-record 471 points in 2012 and missed CB Cortland Finnegan.
11. San Diego Chargers - Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina: New GM Tom Telesco must find someone to help flagging QB Philip Rivers. In this scenario, the top tackles are gone, so why not get Rivers a gifted guard, another priority with Louis Vasquez now in Denver and Tyronne Green a free agent? The Bolts should be able to follow up with an intriguing wideout prospect in Round 2.
12. Miami Dolphins - Ziggy Ansah, DE, Brigham Young: He's one of the most talented but raw prospects available. The Dolphins need more playmakers on defense and could let Ansah embark on his pro career as a pass rush specialist behind starting DEs Jared Odrick and Cameron Wake, who wouldn't mind seeing fewer double teams on passing downs.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State: What's one way to fix a near historically bad pass defense? Sack the quarterback more. Werner could replace Michael Bennett while bookending 2011 first-rounder Adrian Clayborn. With Milliner and Rhodes gone in this mock, the safety-rich Bucs would have to reach for a corner here ... or might not have to worry at all if the Revis trade rumors come to fruition.
14. Carolina Panthers - Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee: Ron Rivera has acknowledged the need to find a successor for WR Steve Smith, who will be 34 this season. Patterson is a bit of a project but offers superior size (6-2, 216 pounds) and explosion. And he can apprentice behind Brandon LaFell and Smith, provided he earns No. 89's respect.
15. New Orleans Saints - Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU: Slender pass rusher stays in Louisiana and sharpens the edge for a team switching to a 3-4 defense.
16. St. Louis Rams - Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia: He's not big (5-9, 174 pounds), but the Rams got sizable wideouts in last year's draft with Brian Quick and Chris Givens. Austin, who rolled up nearly 3,000 all-purpose yards in 2012 for the Mountaineers, looks like a supercharged version of Sam Bradford favorite Danny Amendola, who happens to now work for the Patriots.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia: He's been red-flagged for spinal stenosis and hasn't tested particularly well in the pre-draft process. But he did lead the country with 14½ sacks last year, something a team which punted James Harrison can't ignore.
18. Dallas Cowboys - Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas: Who better to solve the Cowboys' long-standing issues on the back line than a talented Longhorn? And new defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin's scheme requires someone he can rely on in center field.
19. New York Giants - Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia: A defense that regressed badly in 2012 needs another playmaker behind its formidable front four. If GM Jerry Reese is comfortable with Ogletree's off-field issues, the wide-ranging linebacker would satisfy the Giants' best-player-available draft approach.
20. Chicago Bears - D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama: GM Phil Emery upgraded at left tackle by signing Jermon Bushrod in free agency (and later patched issues at linebacker). Now he gives quarterback Jay Cutler and offensive mastermind Marc Trestman further peace of mind by drafting the swath-cutting Fluker for the right side.
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri: If RT Andre Smith doesn't re-sign, the Bengals may want to make a play for Fluker. Barring that, defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer greatly values depth in his front four, and Richardson could emerge as a force next to all-pro Geno Atkins.
22. Rams (from Washington Redskins) - Matt Elam, S, Florida: After saying goodbye to last year's starters (Quintin Mikell and Craig Dahl), the Rams need a new last line of defense.
23. Minnesota Vikings - Keenan Allen, WR, California: Leg injuries have hampered him in the draft run-up, but he could get a boost if his April pro day goes well. Regardless, he'd be a nice investment for a Minnesota wideout group that still needs plenty of help despite the arrival of Greg Jennings.
24. Indianapolis Colts - Datone Jones, DE, UCLA: He lined up everywhere along the defensive front for the Bruins, and his 6-4, 283-pound frame is ideal for 3-4 ends. He'd be made to order for an evolving front in Indy as the Colts continue to pour resources into their new defense a year after turning over the offense.
25. Vikings (from Seattle Seahawks) - Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame: Jasper Brinkley left for Arizona, but the Vikes needed an upgrade in the middle anyway. This might be a perfect spot for Te'o, who would be surrounded by a handful of former Notre Dame teammates (including safety Harrison Smith) and wouldn't have to typically deal with a crush of media in Minneapolis.
26. Green Bay Packers - Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame: Though tailback again appears as a deficit area, it'd be a surprise to see GM Ted Thompson take one this early, especially in light of this year's weak crop. It's more plausible that Thompson trades down - this is a perfect spot for QB-needy teams to resurface in the first round - and gets a runner later while stockpiling extra picks. But Eifert also makes sense. Jermichael Finley hasn't matured into a player QB Aaron Rodgers can count on and isn't signed beyond this season anyway. The Packers' depth at tight end also took a hit when Tom Crabtree left for Tampa.
27. Houston Texans - DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson: Though GM Rick Smith is generally rather conservative, it wouldn't be stunning to see him climb the ladder for Patterson or Austin. In any case, the Texans still haven't enlisted a worthy Robin to aging Batman Andre Johnson but need one more than ever after letting Kevin Walter go.
28. Denver Broncos - Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M: His stock has taken a beating ever since a horrid showing at the scouting combine. Still, Moore managed 12½ sacks for the Aggies last season, and the Broncos could use a young pass rusher in the wake of the Elvis Dumervil debacle. Perhaps a reunion with former A&M teammate Von Miller would be a needed boon to Moore.
29. New England Patriots - Robert Woods, WR, USC: Even if Brandon Lloyd eventually returns, the Pats appear woefully thin at wideout. Woods was a very productive player in a pro-style offense, and New England needs to find somebody on the outside if Amendola and the tight ends are to be effective near the hashes.
30. Atlanta Falcons - Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington: If they don't want to be in a track meet every week, the Falcons need more cover guys.
31. San Francisco 49ers - Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State: The Niners' D-line was poached during free agency, and Justin Smith can't play forever. A big body like Hankins' (6-3, 320 pounds) would begin replenishing the group.
32. Baltimore Ravens - Kevin Minter, MLB, LSU: GM Ozzie Newsome knows the center of his defense from front to back needs a lot of work. Plugging Minter into the middle seems like a good start, though this could be another year when the Wizard of Oz trades back to the get the picks he needs to rebuild his roster.
