Haven't had much time to hone my skills, but I picked up a new project again yesterday! I love the look of isometric map and figured I'd give them a try.
The basic idea here is that this is an arid area, and the water from this spring is considered holy. A temple was built as close to the spring itself as possible - which happened to be inside the mountain. In times of war, which are scarce, it functions as a stronghold (the areas for this are not on the map, it's where the disconnected set of stairs leads). The antechamber will always be guarded. Other than that there will be something of a chapel, meditation rooms, storage and of course the well itself at the deepest level.
I'm trying to keep it from looking too neat and sharp by adding some scatter and texture to a simple round brush.
Comments and critique are very welcome! Especially on how to really give it that underground feeling.
EDIT: I'll add the final version here, so you don't have to look for it when you come across this later
Last edited by Poison; 01-16-2013 at 08:13 AM. Reason: Adding final version
Looks nice! One gets a pretty clear impression of what the rooms look like, and it is neat temple. The only thing that's a bit odd (and that's the because of the perspective I think) is, that following-up rooms are either lower-left or lower-right to the room before. Other directions will lead to several rooms lying over each other in the 2-dimensional sketch. Overlaying rooms surely have the potential to mess with the good looks, but they might give the setting more depth (pun intended). But since the holy water is on the lower right to the entrance, the general direction of this temple is quite natural and conviniently appropriate for an isometric view.
But hark who's barking - I shyed away from doing my maps in isometric perspective.
I like your work so far, and I'm looking forward to your progress!
Thank you, Rinsewjind! I did struggle a bit with the layout and with giving it enough depth. In the end I decided to keep everything a little further apart and the try and indicate depth more with shading. Getting a good colour palette is turning out to be the biggest problem!
A nice isometric map you made there. I especially like all the details you added. Knowing myself, I probably wouldn't have the patience.
Thanks, Kaernaun! My problem tends to be that I add to many details, and then never finish it. Hopefully posting about it here will help; I might feel obliged to actually finish something for once.
In the end I went with a strong palette of browns, grays and purples. After having shaded everything I decided I wanted to have candles instead of generic upper-right light, so I had to redo it all. Opinions?
Two more snapshots of the WIP!
Very nice. As another poster said, nice details. They can make all the difference. Well done.
I like how the plan for the temple is thought out for how it will work for those who use this place.
It does seem like it is a long way down from the kitchens and I would not want to carry hot soup across that plank but for a religious retreat is very nice.
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
I do like the lighting on the second one. I think this is looking great, can't wait to see the finished result. I do love isometric maps though!
Thank you! And I do think the priests would frown upon you if you were slurping your soup in the temple...
Do you think there would be any possible future interest in a version of this with a grid, so people could use it in their games? If so, I'll whip up a final version with a simple grid.

What's the drill with this scope? If a 4" refractor is suitable for various authors to use in publishing books about the Messier objects, how much different could at 3.5" be? According to the article in "Better View Desired," the C90 offers basically perfect color correction, 3.5" of resolution, 3.25" of brightness, and the contrast of a 60mm. That last may not be much to brag about, but for a lightweight rig used more for practicing finding Messier objects than studying them in detail, may not be so bad. Portability is key here. A C90 would not replace my C8, nor would it need to.
So, here's the first picture. This C90 is a black tube with helical focuser and a 0.965" visual back (if it's called that when it is integral to the scope). One respected opinion is that it was made by Vixen in Japan; can anyone attest to that? The undersized tripod is what I had on hand, but the case would be sold with the scope. No eyepieces or diagonal are included, so I used a set from my Jason 313. It will not focus with the extra back focus created when using a 0.965'-to-1.25" adapter before a 1.25" diagonal, so I'd need to buy a good hybrid diagonal. I suspect the optics are excellent, but can not confirm so by star test with the junky high-powered eyepieces currently at my disposal. I must say, the detail seen a mile and further away in daylight was astonishing!
Before I questioned whether he might like to sell it to me, the seller commented that the focuser was so tight that it was impossible to focus without knocking the scope off its target. I'd think that's a matter of cleaning away old grease and relubing with Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease (any other recommendations?). He also said that he paid little for it, because it "had problems," but I suspect he and the former owner were simply baffled by the need to use a diagonal. It will not focus when viewed straight through. The seller bought his dream Questar Birder, and so has no further use for the C90.
I have found no indication of where the scope was made. Torrance would be cool, Japan perfectly acceptable, but maybe not China in this vintage. What do I have here, a "Classic," or a "used telescope," and how much is it worth?

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- The massacre of schoolchildren in Connecticut may be shifting the political dynamic in Washington.
Two Senators who in the past have gotten "A" grades from the National Rifle Association are now demanding a change.
West Virginia's Joe Manchin, a conservative Democrat who famously fired a hunting rifle in a campaign ad, now says its time to consider new gun regulation. "Anyone who's a proud gun owner, a proud member of the NRA, they're also a proud parent or grandparent. They understand. This has changed where we go from here."
Sen. Manchin says no one he knows goes hunting with an assault rifle or a high-capacity magazine. "This has changed the dialogue. And it should move beyond dialogue. We need action."
Manchin's not alone. Virginia's Mark Warner, a moderate Democrat, says his daughters asked him Friday night, what he's doing to keep children safe. "When these kindergarten kids were massacred, it's time to put aside these Rs and Ds, and come up with a reasonable approach to restrict access to the most violent weapons."
The NRA has taken it's Facebook site private... leaving gun control advocates to take over.
And a petition on the White House website urging the President to act has broken records.
But there are still many in Congress who think more gun rights, maybe an armed Principal, might have saved those children's lives."So when she heard gunfire, she whips it out and takes him out before he hurts those precious children," said Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas)
The question: whether all those funerals will leave supporters of assault rifles and high capacity magazines in the minority.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California says she will introduce legislation next year to ban new assault weapons, as well as big clips, drums and strips of more than 10 bullets.

Comments about ... Happy Birthday Cupcake Stand (each):
The display was really easy to put together. The cupcake stand is colorful, and was a great way to display the cupcakes. I\'ve only used it for one birthday party, so I\'m not sure how many uses I\'ll get out of the cardboard material.

By Victoria Cavaliere
TRENTON, New Jersey (Reuters) – New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Thursday fired a top aide who helped orchestrate massive traffic jams at a busy commuter bridge to settle a score, saying he had been blindsided in the scandal that has tarnished his political reputation on the national stage.
As Christie apologized publicly for the abrupt lane closings ordered by some of his staff, which he said he did not know about beforehand, the office of the U.S. Attorney in New Jersey said it was launching an investigation.
Revelations that his staff plotted the four-day lane closures at the George Washington Bridge in September, causing hours-long traffic jams that stalled commuters, school buses and ambulances, come as Christie has emerged as a powerful figure in the Republican Party and a possible presidential contender.
The controversy erupted with the release on Wednesday of incriminating emails showing Christie's aide and allies planning the lane closings to punish the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, at the New Jersey end of the bridge, because he had declined to endorse Christie's re-election effort.
"I am embarrassed and humiliated by the conduct of some of the people on my team," Christie said. "I am who I am, but I am not a bully."
As the head of the party's governors association and a possible 2016 White House contender, the tough-talking governor has sought to present himself as a leader who can work with opponents and forge bipartisan alliances.
Christie said he dismissed his deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, whose role emerged in the emails.
In the most damning email, Kelly wrote to a Port Authority executive in August, saying: "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."
The executive, David Wildstein, replied: "Got it."
Wildstein later admitted ordering the lane closures and resigned his post.
The emails were supplied to the media by Wildstein in response to a subpoena issued by a panel of state lawmakers.
He appeared before the panel on Thursday but declined to answer questions, repeatedly invoking the constitutional protection not to say anything that might incriminate him.
U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman, whose job Christie held before being elected governor, has opened a probe, his spokeswoman said.
"Our office is reviewing it to determine whether a federal law was implicated," Rebekah Carmichael said in a statement.
A local newspaper reported emergency responders were delayed in attending to four medical situations – one involving an unconscious 91-year-old woman who later died of cardiac arrest and another, a car accident, in which four people were injured.
At the news conference, Christie referred to the lane closings as a "rogue political operation."
"I am stunned by the abject stupidity that was shown here," Christie said. "This was handled in a callous and indifferent way, and this is not the way this administration has conducted itself over the last four years."
Christie took reporters' questions at the packed news conference at his office that lasted just short of two hours.
He appeared contrite, describing himself repeatedly as heartbroken and apologizing to the public, and even to the media, several times.
Toward the end of his lengthy appearance, he visibly relaxed, leaning against the podium, and resorted to his more typical form, calling one reporter's question "crazy."
Christie has enjoyed immense popularity at home since his election in 2009, particularly for his handling of recovery and rebuilding efforts after Superstorm Sandy devastated his state in late 2012. He was re-elected in a landslide in November.
But he is known as well for engaging in shouting matches, hurling insults and belittling challengers.
Christie told the news conference he was "nowhere near" beginning to consider a possible 2016 presidential bid.
Political observers said at first glance that Christie's response to the scandal achieved what he set out to do.
"He did well, in that he offered an aggressive response. He showed the personality that people like – which is the person who seems to like to be right in the middle of things, even in a scandal situation like this," said Julian Zelizer, a Princeton University professor of history and public affairs.
"At least for now, he offered the thing that was most important here – that he was going to hold people responsible."

text: Your colors are very bright! These maps have a certain charm, although I'll note that from a realism perspective, you've got some river violations (rivers join as they flow to the sea, they don't split; lakes have only one outgoing river) and the city has an implausibly large amount of open space. I don't know a thing about using Corel, and it isn't a common choice around here, but you can get a lot of useful advice that isn't program specific.

Associated Press Release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- A death row inmate who killed a Lake County sheriff's deputy in 2005 will be back before the Florida Supreme Court.
A court calendar released Friday showed Jason Wheeler's appeal of his motion for post-conviction relief will be heard April 3.
Wheeler shot and killed Deputy Wayne Koester after Koester responded to a domestic violence call from Wheeler's girlfriend. He lost his direct appeal in 2009.
Wheeler was shot and paralyzed from the neck down when captured after a manhunt in the Ocala National Forest. He claimed Satan and drugs led him to ambush deputies with a sawed-off shotgun.

Mon Mar 23 17:00:00 EDT 2009, Piriapolis, Uruguay
The hill in the picture is near Piriapolis, Uruguay, which we passed while sailing from Montevideo to Punta del Este.

Isla de Flores, a pretty island in Rio de la Plata, near Montevideo, Uruguay.
Sat Mar 14 0:00:00 EDT 2009
When I was in downtown Montevideo (where the pictures are from), on a Saturday afternoon, it was mostly quiet. Most shops close Saturday afternoon, so only in the tourist areas were there many people (some, not really many) walking around.
Montevideo is a pleasant, relaxed and friendly place, as is the rest of Uruguay. The city is big enough that you can get pretty much anything you might need.

The weather could not make up its mind on our sail from La Plata, Argentina to Montevideo, Uruguay. It was windy, it was calm, it was rainy, it was sunny. In the photo, Karina is expressing her opinion of what the weather will do next. For most of the day, it was constant changes in the amount of sail we had up, as the winds varied from Force 2-7 (5-30 knots).
The Rio de la Plata water was muddy and choppy (because it is shallow, the waves are shorter and steeper) as we sailed. By the end of the day, the low clouds went away and the wind steadied to Force 4-5 (12-20 knots), and the sailing got nicer as night fell. We sailed all night, under a mostly clear and starry sky. The last few hours were mostly spent trying to slow down, as the wind was good and the current was with us, to avoid reaching port during darkness.
Shortly after dawn, we dropped sails, unlocked the keel (it is locked in the down position when sailing), and motored into the port of Buceo (Buceo is a wealthy suburb of Montevideo). Buceo is quite shallow, and we kept running aground as we motored over to the mooring buoy that Yacht Club Uruguayo said we could use (there is no room for anchoring). Running aground (at least on soft bottoms) is not a big deal with this boat, as long as you can raise the keel to get free, but it complicates maneuvering, as running aground stops the boat, and freeing the boat by lifting the keel means it is going where the wind pushes until you can gain control with the propellers again.
After tying to the mooring, we went ashore to clear in with the Coast Guard and Immigration, as the weather continued to improve to become a clear, sunny day, with light, pleasant winds, which we enjoyed from the comfort of the very hospitable Yacht Club Uruguayo lounge.
Thu Mar 12 0:00:00 EDT 2009, Montevideo, Uruguay
This is a list of the work that was done in Argentina and Uruguay over the last four months. It is probably only of interest to boatowners:
* replace main rudder (all steel)
* replace auxiliary rudder (all steel, all moving parts stainless steel, new bearings with ondeck grease nipples)
* replace keel pulleys (stainless steel, thicker sheaves)
* move anchor winch aft, replace hawsepipe (bigger, so chain falls freely to locker), move lower forestay forward to make room
* replace overhead/ceiling in pilothouse (mostly done, carpenters abandoned the job and i am finishing it) and starboard amidships area
* replace daytank with larger stainless steel one (with drain sump, dedicated gauge line)
* replace zinc in engine heat exchanger (looked for but never found one in hydraulic oil cooler)
* replace engine fuel filter/water separator with Racor 500 (does same thing as previous unit, but clear bowl makes it much easier to see water in fuel)
* add removable platform to cockpit to make it into an outdoor bed/lounging area
* replace wind generator with Air Breeze unit (much higher output, and has a stop switch instead of forcing you to climb the pole when it gets too windy) on 4m pole
* replace solar panel arch with welded one (not finished yet)
* replace several sheet blocks with larger, less-friction ones
* move a pair of small winches aft to use with running checkstays (not finished yet)
* repair two broken mast steps
* replace several sheets and reefing lines
* replace bearings in forestaysail (trinquette) rollerfurler, replace bearings in spare rollerfurler (anticipating it will be needed to replace yankee/genoa rollerfurler sometime)
* move liferaft from cabintop to deck beside keel for better visibility
* have liferaft tested and serviced
* replace GPS (broken) with Furuno unit
* replace batteries
* add shackle point for anchor chain snubber just below bobstay (at waterline)
* raise lifelines, replace top wire with welded tubing
* disassemble bed in bedroom and remove two water tanks underneath it to repaint where welder burnt paint off welding zincs on outside of hull
* remove and reinstall lower port keel adjuster (O-ring had failed and unit had seized)
* new yankee, forestaysail (trinquette) and storm jib were made, old yankee and forestaysail (trinquette) had luffs shortened
* genoa, main staysail (voile d'etai) and fisherman sails were all cut down a bit to fit the spaces they set in better
Look forward to an update of your web photo album with pics of the upgrade projects both underway and complete. Sound like you were able to find new bearings for the french Sarma roller furler(s) and thereby save the cost of total replacement., great news. Notice you are not using the french sail names as much these days and that makes it a bit harder to keep straight on the sail work being done.
I note you are in Uruguay and look forward to pics and stories that compare and contrast Argentina and Uruguay.
Exciting stuff on this end, I am waiting to hear details of a trip I have been told by Capt Martin Tate I am signed up for, PDQ cat delivery from Buenos Aires to ?? in Oct.
Congrats and best wishes
I reformatted it so it is easier to read now and put back in the french sail names.
The bearings in the roller furler are DIN-spec, not the same as the original, and are plain carbon steel. There are new seals which hopefully will keep the water out of the grease...will see how they look after some time at sea.
Congratulations and best wishes on the PDQ delivery.
Sat Mar 7 0:00:00 EST 2009, Rio de la Plata, Argentina
The raised lifeline/liferails are high enough to make tall people feel much more secure walking on deck. They are painted white for better visibility. Some sections have a lower lifeline of rope on them as well. I may extend this...need to do more sailing to confirm the places where sheet leads won't chafe low lifelines first.
Fri Mar 6 0:00:00 EST 2009, San Fernando, Argentina
The original wire lifelines were removed and the lifeline stanchions extended. Stainless steel tubing was bent to shape and welded on top of the stanchions to make a higher, more secure liferail.
Thu Mar 5 17:10:49 EST 2009, La Plata, Argentina
La Plata is a small, relaxed college and refinery city SE of Buenos Aires. There is a good harbor with a fairly narrow entrance that opens up to a long stretch of totally protected water. There is a very friendly yacht club there, Club de Regattas, where we stayed for ten days.
Dingy: any changes in the dingy situation?

And how would I go about adding/removing a string based on a specific value selection? For example, If I create a value named CANCELLED, and I assign that Show As state to an appointment, I want it to insert "(Cancelled)" into the title of the appointment for me.

Trucking news: Averitt expands flatbed operations
Averitt Express, Inc.: Think Red Instead - Transportation and logistics company based in Cookeville, offering trucking and supply chain services throughout North America.
June 30, 2010
Freight transportation and logistics services provider Averitt Express said today it expanding its flatbed operations.
In recent months, Averitt has provided shippers with flatbed service in several markets, including Birmingham, Ala.; Atlanta, Ga.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Louisville, Ky.; and Nashville, Tenn.
These services are being expanded due to increased customer demand, according to Averitt spokesman Chris Asberry.
Averitt Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing Phil Pierce said in a statement that the company is excited about the success it has seen thus far on the flatbed side, and is planning for more growth in the future."
Since the flatbed service was first rolled out, it has grown from a 12-flatbed trailer operation to a current fleet of more than 50 flatbeds, with about 50 additional flatbeds on order.

Into the Fire, then the Medal of Honor
Dakota Meyer memoir recounts his battles in war and at home
After all the after-action reports, investigations and news coverage, Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer tells his own story in "Into the Fire: A Firsthand Account of the Most Extraordinary Battle in the Afghan War," the book he co-wrote with Bing West.
Last year Meyer became the first living Marine since the Vietnam War to receive the nation's highest honor for valor in combat. During an ambush in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan in September 2009, the 21-year-old corporal repeatedly risked his life as he fought through enemy gunfire to hunt for four missing Marine advisers.
Meyer's memoir, published by Random House this fall and now reportedly being made into a movie, includes scenes of the Kentucky farm boy's upbringing and early years in the Corps. But his unflinching account of the battle in Ganjgal is its brutal heart.
After his team is pinned down and goes missing, Meyer gets in the turret of a gun truck and another Marine takes the wheel. The pair drive into the horseshoe-shaped valley as the enemy shoots down on them from three sides of steep terraced hills, strewn by then with wounded and dying Afghan soldiers.
The stark descriptions of combat are sometimes masterful, perhaps reflecting West's experienced pen. "There was a brush of wind past my cheek — a low hum like a bee, which was a round losing velocity and going subsonic. The air was full of static, like listening to a radio in a thunderstorm. A few bullets clinked off our truck, sounding like gravel thrown up by the wheels. We had driven into the middle of a perfect ambush."
The events are astounding enough. Meyer leans over the side of the truck to shoot a man trying to scramble inside to kill him. Later, he is caught unaware as he mourns the death of his best Afghan friend. He looks up to see a Taliban fighter aiming a gun at him. Meyer sneaks off a grenade round and grapples him to the ground, then bashes his face in with a rock.
Meyer's belief that his missing teammates are alive propels him. When a helicopter crew finally directs Meyer to their bodies, stiff and cold and stripped of gear, his heart stops. All he can do is pick up his staff sergeant and stumble with him back to the vehicle.
"Into the Fire" is not a definitive battle reconstruction. It is light on politics and larger strategic implications of the war. Instead, Meyer offers the reader one grunt's view, the tactical thinking of a highly trained marksman and deer hunter, his lust for battle and the guilt that nearly kills him after he finally finds his friends, dead in a ditch.
It is also a damning account of the military's failure to provide adequate artillery and air support that day and a plea for justice for William Swenson — an Army captain who fought alongside Meyer but whose Medal of Honor nomination was misplaced for 19 months.
During the firefight, "I didn't think I was going to die; I knew I was dead," Meyer writes. "I had gone somewhere else. I wasn't firing the machine gun; I was the machine gun."
Coming home, separating the Marine fighting for his life and his gun, was harder. Meyer's struggles after the shooting stops are some of the most compelling passages in the book. In them, the sniper and hunter of men becomes human.
Fearing a desk job because of his combat stress, Meyer does not re-enlist in his beloved Corps. After he leaves the military, he is a loner without a mission, staring down demons that creep in at night when his only backup is his best friend Jack Daniels.

Now that the default retirement age has been abolished, I answer some common questions around the law and how it affects workers.
1. What was the default retirement age?
A tool invented by the Labour government, the default retirement age was intended to protect employees from age discrimination by making it unlawful to dismiss an employee before the age of 65 (unless the employer could 'objectively justify' the retirement). Secondly, it allowed employers to compulsorily retire employees once they reached the age of 65.
2. When was it abolished?
April 6, 2011. Employers are no longer able to retire employees on the basis that they have reached their 65th birthday.
3. Why was it scrapped?
We are all living longer and the Government believes employees should be able to work until as long as they want/ need to, without… Read more

Ronnie Renner Is Ready For The New Year
By Brendan Lutes
Ronnie Renner has long been known for his freeriding abilities, and with the recent rain that has been hitting Southern California, Renner has been making trips out to the perfectly watered hills.
This past year, though, Renner took home another medal in X Games Step-Up, adding a gold medal to his collection. With multiple X Games events planned all around the world next year, Renner has not only been riding in the hills, but planning his schedule for 2013 as well. During a break from hitting some jumps in a secret spot in Reche Canyon, we caught up with him to find out how things have been.
We're out here in Reche Canyon and it's kind of your prime time of the year, right?
Yeah, I try to consider myself a freerider. Besides X Games Step-Up, it's one of the only things that keeps me motivated for freestyle. I'm so close to everything in Southern California, so I don't really have an excuse to not be out here. Everyone gets amped up when the rain comes. But dude I'll tell you, now that I'm a dad of four kids, I really have to strategically plan and the rain never really comes with planning—it's just shows up. I'm about four days late getting out here in the hills after the last rain. Thank God, though, for friends like Doug [Parsons] who are really passionate about it too and come out and shovel up all these hits, and are then nice enough to give me an invite to the secret location. That makes it good. I try to do my part and try to shovel as well, but it always seems that I'm playing catch up.
What have you been up to since winning Step-Up at X Games?
I didn't really plan on taking a vacation, but my wrist was boogered up pretty bad for about three or four months, so I've just been letting that heal up. I have ADD, though, and can't sit around and let it heal up. I've been out golfing, hitting the track, and always doing something to continue to aggravate it. I've been waiting for the freeriding season to come around, though, and not burn myself out over the summer, jumping ramps and doing other stuff. I had a couple shows and did what I had to do to get through those with the pain in my wrist. Now I'm just starting to focus on next year with a little bit of freeriding thrown in there. They're really throwing a big schedule on us, though, with four X Games. That's going to be a big deal. I've just been balancing everything—I guess that's the best way to put it. I'm stoked to be out here, but I have other things to look forward to as well.
Are you excited about X Games and the addition of more rounds?
I guess there is going to be Step-Up at most of the Summer X Games—Brazil, Barcelona, Munich, and then the grand finale in Los Angeles. Obviously, if there is Step-Up at those rounds, I want to go win those suckers, and you have to be healthy to do that. At X Games this year, the win cost me about six months of not riding dirt bikes, so I'm going to try to prepare a little better, and I'm definitely excited about it. I think it's cool that the sport still has quite a few different things going for it, especially with more than just freestyle contests. I think that we proved that Step-Up is a crowd-pleasing event. I'm definitely no Best Trick rider, so you won't see me riding in that (laughs). That stuff is just getting out of control. Right now, I'm having fun and I'm excited for all the stuff that's coming up in the future. We have Red Bull X Fighters coming up, which I'm not doing the contest, but I'm tied to the series, doing media stuff and trying to help a little bit with organization and media.
You mentioned that Step-Up beat you up this year, so what are you going to do to prepare for multiple rounds of Step-Up?
Step-Up is one of those things that you can't practice a lot, because it hurts and every lip is different when you show up, so it really doesn't do you a lot of good to be boosting 40 or 50 feet into the air in order to practice. The expectations are going to be high, and I assume X Games is going to build it really big. I'm just going to tape myself up really well, take some more preventative measures than I usually do—which was none—and go from there. I don't know what you're going to have to do for me to not ride in those events. I'm going to tape myself up, strap myself to the bike, and go. Those events are my livelihood when it comes to competitions, so I'm going to be there.

Tough Luck Strikes Casey Mears at Bristol Motor Speedway

Tough Luck Strikes Casey Mears at Bristol Motor Speedway
Mechanical Failure Relegates GEICO Racing Team to 37th-Place Finish
BRISTOL, Tenn. (March 21, 2011) – Coming off the first off-weekend for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Casey Mears and the No. 13 GEICO Racing team were refreshed and ready to battle the bullring known as Bristol Motor Speedway – a short track known for bumping and banging.
On Friday afternoon, after two solid practice sessions, Mears took to the "World's Fastest Half-Mile" for his qualifying attempt. The car of Dave Blaney, who qualified prior to Mears, blew an oil pump, causing oil fluid to cover the track. Unfortunately, Mears' laps were hindered by this situation, relegating the GEICO Toyota Camry to the 43rd starting position for Sunday's 500-lap race.
The green flag flew on The Jeff Byrd 500 under sunshine in the Tennessee Mountains. Mears patiently began his trek to the front of the field, understanding that to finish well, you must first finish. The first caution of the afternoon slowed the pace on lap 29 for a multi-car accident on the frontstretch. Mears did a great job of avoiding the wreck and moved into the 34th position. The California native was instructed to stay out by crew chief Bootie Barker, allowing Mears to restart from 22nd-place.
A competition caution came on lap 52 for the teams to check tire wear on their Goodyear rubber as a right-side tire change was mandated on Saturday, prior to the final practice sessions. Barker brought Mears to the attention of his GEICO crew for four tires, fuel, and adjustments as the No. 13 Toyota needed more rear grip. Restarting on lap 57 from the 27th position, Mears allowed the laps to clock off during a long caution-free run.
Mears drove his way into the top-25 as the third yellow flew on lap 130. The adjustments made during the previous pit stop helped the GEICO Camry, so Mears brought his Toyota to the attention of his crew for four tires and fuel, with no changes to the handling.
Despite holding his spot inside the top-25, problems struck Mears on lap 158, when his Toyota would shut off in the corners. Mears successfully switched batteries while continuing to make laps, but the problem was persistent forcing the team to come to the garage for repairs. After changing batteries and working on the electrical interiors, Mears returned to the track, however the issue was not fixed. The GEICO crew then changed additional mechanical parts before solving the issue.
Mears returned to track on lap 229. Unfortunately, the tough luck cost the Germain Racing team 72 laps and placed the No. 13 in the 38th position. The team was unable to make up any spots, due to the number of laps down, until lap 410 when problems forced Dennis Setzer out of the race. The GEICO Racing team never gave up and continued to log laps and work on their Camry. Mears clocked lap times just as fast as the leaders in the final 100 laps of the race, despite damage to his machine. The checkered flag flew with Mears and the GEICO team in 37th-place.
The tremendous effort shown by the entire GEICO team allowed Mears and the No. 13 Toyota to remain inside the top-35 in the Owner Point Championship Standings, one point to the good over 36th-place owner Tommy Baldwin. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will return to the West Coast, as the fifth race of the season at Auto Club Speedway in Southern California will take place on Sunday, March 27, 2011.

Hello Cartographers, this is my first post, and perhaps something unusual for this forum. These maps are the background images for an iPad game I've recently released called DroneSwarm Command. It's a strategy game where you control drones. The maps are deliberately desaturated and subtle so as not to be too distracting, after all they are a static background over which the game is played. They're made in Photoshop, using Google Earth for reference of real-world locations.
The locations for these maps are...
- A fictional space elevator at Kismayo in Somalia.
- A nuclear power station at Sellafield in the United Kingdom.
- A radio telescope at Parkes Peak in Australia.
- Plesetsk cosmodrome, a spaceport in Russia.
Here's the trailer for the game: DroneSwarm Command for iPad - Trailer - YouTube

1968 Chevy Nova Project Car - Boost Of Another SortWritten by Johnny Hunkins on August 1, 2011 When your engine vacuum just can't cut it, run your power brake booster with a vacuum pump kit from CPP
It never fails. A guy will spend months or even years dreaming about his ideal engine, and when it comes time to order parts for the induction, the index finger slides to the bottom of the page for that big kahuna camshaft. Or maybe he's a high-tech guy, and he opts for a pair of huge hair dryers, or a monster blower. In a politically correct world, we'd have to say that most high-performance engines are "vacuum challenged." Before you know it, you've got a dangerous fire-breathing hot rod that just can't stop.
Craig Chaffers of Classic Performance Products (CPP) explains: "There's a diaphragm that holds vacuum, and whenever you step on the brake, the diaphragm cavity gets small and it pushes on the brake pedal rod. If it's an engine that doesn't produce enough vacuum, the booster doesn't fill up fast enough and doesn't apply enough pressure." The end result is a brake pedal that feels hard, but doesn't stop the car. If you've ever turned the key off and pushed the brake pedal and the brakes don't work—this is the same thing, only worse, because you're moving a lot faster. For power-assisted brakes to work properly, they safely need 15 inches of vacuum, and quite often, powerful engines are lacking in this area. "When you have an engine like this," Chaffers says, "you're going to have brakes that don't work very well when they're booster equipped."
The performance experts at CPP have seen this scenario a lot, and have developed a vacuum boost kit that is a simple add-on to cars that already have working power-assisted master cylinders. The kit (PN VP612, $389) includes a billet aluminum pump with integral 12V motor and Hobbs pressure switch, hose, fasteners, and an electrical harness. Our 1968 Chevy Nova project car was a top candidate for the CPP vacuum boost kit, since its 400ci small-block was only able to muster 4 inches of vacuum at 900 rpm. That's nowhere near enough to operate our new CPP four-wheel disc brakes (or any other disc brakes for that matter), so we made the vacuum boost kit our next priority.
Of course, there are other options—like converting to manual brakes or even a pricier hydro boost system—but in the end the cost effectiveness and functionality of the vacuum boost kit won us over. "The next step would be to go to a hydro boost," Chaffers says, "but there's a lot more money involved. On a hydro boost you're looking at $700 without the master cylinder. If you've got a good master cylinder and you go with the vacuum pump kit, you're going to save over $300. Plus, with a hydro boost you've got to make a line kit to the power steering box and the power steering pump, so the vacuum pump is simpler too."
We're now one step closer to getting Project Nova on the road. Stay tuned to this same Nova channel—next month we'll be bringing you a really cool story on the Switch Pitch variable-stall Turbo 400 converter from Phoenix Transmission Products.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The heart of the CPP brake vacuum booster kit is this sweet-looking billet aluminum vacuum pump/electric motor assembly, which can be mounted anywhere underhood.Our '68 Nova is equipped with a new CPP master cylinder/booster kit (PN 6874BB4-11, $299) designed to work with their Big Brake kit, but it wasn't able to work any vacuum miracles: For it to work properly, we needed more than the 4 inches of vacuum that our 523hp small-block could deliver at the idle speed of 900 rpm. Check out the cool factory-appearing electronic tach from Shiftworks (PN S517-G, $134.50, www.Shiftworks.com).The pump is activated by this Hobbs pressure switch, which senses the vacuum inside the brake booster. The motor turns on when vacuum goes below 15 inches, and turns on once vacuum reaches 25 inches, thus guaranteeing enough vacuum to operate your brakes under any engine vacuum scenario.The vacuum port on the top of the CPP vacuum pump is clearly labeled. The other port is an inlet, and shouldn't be blocked off or connected to anything.To mount our pump, we chose an area just behind the driver-side headlight on the inner fender. This kept it relatively close to the vacuum booster and electrical connections, but far away enough so we wouldn't hear it run. You'll need to fabricate a mounting plate for the pump and trial fit it before drilling any holes.The CPP kit comes with rubber isolation grommets to keep it from transmitting excessive vibration to the chassis. The ¼-20 bolts and 7/16-inch nuts are included.The CPP vacuum pump is roughly 6.5 inches wide and 7 inches tall, making it a comfy fit for the Nova's forward wheelhouse area. After mounting it to our homemade bracket, we bolted it to the inner fender with some more ¼-20 bolts.We then used the horn relay ground for our vacuum pump motor's ground (the black wire), which was located adjacent to the pump.
The vacuum pump power wire (blue) needs a switched 12V power supply on at least a 15-amp circuit, which we found under the dash. We can't wait to clean up the rat's nest of wiring when we put our Classic Industries interior in.We routed the half-inch vacuum line behind the fenderwell for a cleaner look. After cutting the hose to length, we fastened it to the brake booster's check valve and vacuum pump with the kit's hose clamps. Note that the vacuum hose is not to be teed into engine vacuum. Engine vacuum should be plugged at the source.

When you are ready to tackle your first garment, this is a great choice to get your started. Scrap Granny Hooded Jacket pattern uses worsted-weight yarn. Pull out all your extra balls and start making squares that you will eventually sew together for the jacket. Scrap projects are a fun way to explore color combinations that you might not have tried before. The jacket has the added bonus of a hood, which is also made of these simple granny squares. Granny squares are notorious for stitching up quickly and easy to take with you, making this project great for travel. In no time you will have a new jacket to wear.

Now let me get to the problems I had with this pattern. For a pattern that costs this much I would have liked to have more pictures to guide me. The pattern did not even include a picture of the back of the coat, which would have been very helpful for hood placement. The directions for making the squares were well written and easy to follow, but I encountered several problems when it came to constructing the coat. As mentioned before there were no pictures of the coat from different angles to use as a reference point. There is a crude diagram for coat layout but no written directions of guidance for how to combine pieces or which order to sew piece together. The pattern also offers no guidance on which methods to use to sew the pieces together, such as whip stitch or something else. After contacting customer service I was sent a document that had more instructions on how to construct the coat, it would have been nice if this was included with the original pattern. I also read on some other reviews that there was a video about hood placement, this video is not mentioned in the pattern I received, nor was I ever given a link to it when I contacted customer service for help. If there is a video, a link to it in the pattern would have been great to have.
To sum up, when I spend $8 plus on a pattern I expect a lot more than than what this pattern offered. I consider myself an advanced crocheter and I still had trouble filling in the holes in this pattern without having to contact customer service for assistance. The pattern is rated as "easy" but I do not think a beginner crocheter could complete the pattern without additional assistance.
I am still a faithful fan of Maggie's Crochet patterns, but I have to say that this particular pattern really disappointed me, hence my need to have to review it on here.

New Transpacific player.
May 19, 2010
The Containership Company (TCC), created just last fall, inaugurated its first Transpacific voyage last month. Heralded as "The Great Dragon" service, it got underway in April with its eastbound debut by sailing from the Taicang International Gateway in Jiangsu. As recently reported in LM, Jakob Tolstrup-Møller, TCC's CEO, said that this "port-to-port service will appeal to shippers looking for a new partner and a more direct link to the vast inland manufacturing base of the Jiangsu province." The event comes at a time when U.S. West Coast shippers are fighting to find space on inbound and price hikes have been sticking. For the first time since mid-2008, average global container freight rates experienced a year-over-year increase in late 2009, according to the Drewry Global Freight Rate Index.

single-cylinder engine up to 3.4bhp and results in fuel economy of
252mpg when traveling at a constant 18.6mph.

Lauderdale County, Miss. A Collinsville man is now an internet sensation after posting a video about the winter weather on social media.
Aaron Pogue made a cell phone video Tuesday morning, mocking the snowfall, which quickly spread on social media. He says he recorded the video in just one take.
"I had no idea I was going to do this," Pogue says. "I mean, it's just, it's been surreal. Like I mean, I'm just like, I'm getting all this attention. And I didn't even think it was that funny. I mean, I thought it was like okay, you know. But as far as some epic viral video, that never even came close to crossing my mind at all."
Pogue says he has received as many as 2,000 friend requests on Facebook. There is a second part to the video centered around Pogue not being able to buy deodorant because of the icy roads.

PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State used solid pitching and an 18-hit attack to whip Brown 20-1 in nonconference baseball, Sunday at Bailey-Brayton Field.
Scott Simon (2-0) gave up one run on six hits with a walk and five strikeouts in seven innings to earn the victory. Heath Mayo (0-2), the first of three Brown (1-9) pitchers, yielded six runs in 5 1/3 innings and took the loss. For Simon, the start was the longest of his career and the strikeouts tied his career high.
"It starts on the mound and once again we got a solid performance," Cougar Head Coach Donnie Marbut said. "Offensively, we have had some pitches to hit in the series and our guys haven't missed them."
The Cougars (14-8) scored a run in the second on a fielder's choice and added a run in the fourth on the first home run of the season by P.J. Jones to lead 2-0.
Washington State broke the game open with a four-run fifth. Trace Tam Sing led off with a single and scored on a one-out single by Trek Stemp. Yale Rosen singled and Nick Tanielu was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Adam Nelubowich doubled to score all three runners and push the Cougars' advantage to 6-0.
Brown picked up its run in the sixth, the first time the Bears scored since the first inning of Friday's series opener. The Cougars tacked on six runs in the seventh and eight more in the eighth.
In the seventh, Nelubowich collected his career-high fourth RBI with a single and Bret Jacobs was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to force in a run. Tam Sing ripped his first-career triple to drive in three and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jason Monda to cap the rally.
In the eighth, J.J. Robinson drilled a two-run double and Monda crushed a grand slam to right field to give Washington State an 18-1 lead. Austin Pernell added a run-scoring single and Michael Monda was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded for his first-career RBI.
The series concludes, Monday with first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m.
A baker's dozen Cougars recorded a hit, 16 players scored a run and 10 collected an RBI...P.J. Jones tied his career high with three hits...Patrick McGrath doubled for his first-career, extra-base hit...Jason Monda's five RBI set a career high...Washington State has outscored Brown 42-3 in the series.

by Danny Selnick, Vice President, Public Policy Services
Business Wire's LatinoWire hosted a panel event for professional communicators on Sept. 28 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
The panel featured:
- Erica Gonzalez, Executive Editor of El Diario/La Prensa
- Julio Aliaga, News Director, Telemundo (Washington, DC affiliate)
- Hilda Garcia, Vice President of Multiplatform Content and Information for impreMedia
- Charlie Ericksen, Managing Editor and founder of Hispanic Link
Moderated by Danny Selnick, vice president for Business Wire's Public Policy Services, panel members all underscored the notion that professional communicators must understand the particular needs and interests of this ethnic community and the Hispanic media that is in touch with their readers, viewers and listeners — only with that understanding can communicators successfully connect.
Key points made by each panelist:
Erica Gonzalez:
Erica pointed out that it is important to understand the history of Hispanic journalism. Spanish-language media should be treated as a valid news outlet – not a 2nd class one. Your news should relate to the audience – just because it has been translated into Spanish doesn't qualify it as being newsworthy to the audience.

New couples often use a vacation as an early relationship test. The couple that can travel together, they surmise, can stay together. But even the most time-tested couples can return home from a trip exhausted from the jet lag — and the arguments, the bickering, and the general disgust.
Sure, the stress of travel will get to you. But that doesn't mean it has to get to your relationship. Consider these how-to steps travelers insurance for your next trip together — to ensure it won't be your last.

mentioned that you found some bare wires that might have caused your short.Where were they in case I run out of things to do and want to look to see if mine are also damaged?
Took off my OEM seat and installed an old fashion solo seat from Hitchcocks today. SWEET! Going to try it out on an EPIC RIDE tomorrow with Bare. Cant wait.
I have had wiring issues in my C5; where the wiring harness coming from the tail light assembly (under the rear fender) had rubbed at the exit point - where it exits out of the rear fender and goes to a connector in the middle of the bike and had cut the harness and the wires shorted. Failure was the tail light and fuse went bad. Upon inspection I found that the wiring harness when enters underneath the rear fender has a rubber gourmet but at the point it exits the rear fender to the connector there were non. I put in some rubber beading on the fender edge to prevent harness rubbing the metal and had the dealer work on the wiring harness - which was less than perfect as it was soldered and taped. I needed the bike so let it stay that way until it breaks again - not the right approach; but again love riding the RE so was willing to overlook that This seems like a pretty common failure point so I am assuming others have faced this problem too...
Jack and I were going to do an epic ride today, but when he arrived at my house, his oil filter cap was leaking. So we worked on the bike to cure the leak and went down tho the Orange County RE dealer and picked up some oil filter kits. Jack used the gasket and Oring from the kit with a bit of sealer I had and it looks like the leak is stopped. I took the short ride with him up through Carbon Canyon to get a few more miles on my bike to see if the short is going to show up again. It didn't, and Jack went back home. His new seat looks good and feels pretty good to me when it's just sitting there. Bare
What I was trying to ask was the difference in drving related to the different tire size.
