Hi everybody. I'm looking forward to doing business here at Your Games Now. I'm publishing mainly 28mm/30mm scale paper models for wargames and roleplaying games, and I'll be gradually adding my complete catalog of items to this site.
If you prefer smaller-scale models, you can easily print my products at other scales just by changing the print size on your printer. The instructions pages included with each of my models will tell you what setting to use. It's super easy.
Many of my models feature multi-layered PDFs, giving you lots of different texture options so you can print each model over and over, each time with a different look. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun customizing your models by choosing your favorite features. I think you'll also find that each model is a great value, since you can print them so many times without any two of them looking exactly alike. With just a couple of my multi-layered models, you'll be on your way to filling up your game table with unique-looking buildings.
Multi-layered PDFs are easy to use, and all you need is Adobe Acrobat Reader to use them. The instructions pages included with my models will point you to the layers palette (with just two clicks of your mouse), and once you've opened it you'll be set to play around with multiple layers on any PDF that features them. It's easy, and it's a lot of fun.
If multi-layered PDFs sound like too much hassle to you, I also offer single-layered one-look models that are even easier and more convenient to print. Lots of my models feature both single-layered versions and multi-layered versions, so you can get the best of both worlds.
I'm happy to answer any questions about my products, and if you'd like to request or suggest something, I'm always interested to hear what folks are looking for. I publish a few new models every month, so there's always something new to see.
If you visit my publisher's page, you can grab a free copy of my Hovel 30mm Paper Model to get a look at the way my models are constructed and the quality of the textures that I use.
Happy gaming!

Based on the guide-favorite Sandstone Soft Shell, the Sandstone Hoodie provides active performance with an alpine focus. Great for everything from trail running to alpine climbing.
The primary benefit of a soft shell is derived from fabric that sheds weather but still stretches and breathes at an elevated rate during mountain activity. This performance attribute is why First Ascent stretch-woven soft shells are such perfect choices for cold-weather activities that require constant temperature regulation and liberating stretch.
Our durable water-repellent (DWR) finish causes moisture to bead up on the surface so it rolls off or evaporates rather than soaking into the fabric.
"My favorite jacket for everything. I loved the versatility of the original Sandstone, and by adding a stretchy hood and thumb loops, we have extended the range of this softshell to the highest of mountains."

China Grove Roller Mill preserving history of milling, town
CHINA GROVE — Roller mills provided North Carolinians with bread flour and livestock feed for generations.
But today, the China Grove Roller Mill is one of the last of its kind: a 19th century mill, converted into a museum that collects both local history and the history of milling.
Sunday, the mill held its monthly open house — a chance for locals to come inside and see the milling machines and the intricate workings of the mill.
Although it was rainy outside, a small crowd of families dropped in throughout the afternoon.
In celebration of spring, kids painted flowerpots, then planted begonias.
Inside, guests had cookies and lemonade and walked through the rooms where, alongside the machinery and tools, memorabilia from China Grove's past is gathered.
The seats and projector from China Grove's downtown movie theater are on the third floor, as are photos from the movie house's heyday.
On the first floor, a display case holds doctors' bags from the days when physicians who made house calls were the norm. Nearby is a fluoroscope, formerly used for making X-rays.
There are radios, typewriters, school yearbooks and more on the shelves nearby.
"It's a history of China Grove, as well as of the roller mill," said Judy Haire of the Historical Society of Southern Rowan. "Everything that's here came from a home or business in the South Rowan area."
Barbara Doby, president of the Historical Society of South Rowan, was a key player in the effort to buy the mill and preserve it.
When the mill closed in 1995, a century after it opened, Doby said she knew it was something that needed to be kept for future generations.
"We're very pleased to tell you that everything has been preserved," said Doby, standing in the office of the China Grove Roller Mill Museum.
"The only thing that we don't have … is a 14-inch belt," Doby said.
That "mother" belt, she said, would drive the machinery and start the mill working again.
Of course, that's impossible to do. Safety concerns and federal regulations would keep that from happening, she said.
Instead, Doby said, the Historical Society's goal is "to keep it as it is, and to teach students about where flour come from.
That's proving to be a challenge.
At present, Doby said, most local schools are not taking the opportunity to bring children to the roller mill.
"We don't understand why they don't come here, when they go on field trips to other farms and places," Doby said.
"We're working on being able to have the schoolchildren allowed to come here," Haire said.
When groups of children do come to visit, Doby said, they emphasize the connections between food and farming.
They trace how the loaves of bread, biscuits and cookies that kids love start out as grain, using visual aids and photos.
"We've got stalks of wheat out there ... and we tell them how all of those pizzas and things come from that grain of wheat," Haire said.
For the monthly open houses, Haire said, "we try to do some kind of unique display, or have a special speaker or storyteller."
Next month, she said, because June is a traditional month for weddings, there will be a display of wedding dresses.
Already, some samples of homemade clothing from decades ago are hanging on the walls, and displayed on mannequins, throughout the museum.
This is the third year the museum will be presenting a display of wedding dresses, Haire said.
"Sometimes, we'll have two or three generations (visiting), mother, daughter and grandmother," Haire said. "It brings in a lot of people," Doby said.
The museum currently offers tours to the public by appointment, as well as an open house on the second Sunday of the month, from 2 to 4 p.m., April through November.
This month's open house was held a week early due to the fact that this coming Sunday is Mother's Day.
Doby said members are discussing whether another day would allow the museum to reach more potential visitors.
Overshadowing other concerns is the fact that the China Grove Roller Mill Museum is one of a relative few remaining examples of how millers plied their trade.
When Rowan's other surviving roller mill, Grimes Mill in Salisbury, burned to the ground on Jan. 16, Doby said "it was a wake-up call" to the Historical Society board.
When Haire heard about the fire, "I thought, what a terrible loss. But I immediately thought, it could have been China Grove Roller Mill," she said.
Doby said steps are being taken to make sure the mill is secure, but declined to discuss the particulars for the record.
However, she said that the Grimes Mill fire had also prompted the Historical Society to redouble efforts at cataloging and preserving history.
Recently, she said, the museum began shooting a video that documents the operations and history of the mill.
Doing so will also help preserve memories of China Grove in advance of the town's 125th anniversary celebration in 2014, Doby said.
At Sunday's open house, at least one resident with ties to the community shared the mill with the next generation.
Emily Hilton Goforth, who now lives in northern Iredell County, grew up in China Grove.
She brought daughters Lily and Bryony to visit the mill on Sunday.
"My mama's family is 11 generations in Rowan County, in south Rowan," Goforth said.
"This is the first time I've been to the Roller Mill," Goforth said, but added that she recalls spending time at the Historical Society's former museum location, a short distance away.
As they walked upstairs and looked at the milling machinery, Goforth asked Lily, 7, about what she thought of the mill.
"I really like it," Lily said — especially the "trap doors" where millers would dump grain or check on machinery.
"Do you think it would have been easy or hard to work here?" Emily asked her daughter.
"Hard. There are so many machines," Lily said.
For Doby, it's hard to imagine China Grove without the mill.
"I call it holy ground," Doby said, "because God's allowed it to stand here."
She shows where some of the interior wood beams are charred from a fire that started in the mill years before, but didn't catch.
The reason she believes the mill is still standing is the history that's collected there.
From the "weather board," where decades of snowfalls and weather facts are penciled, to the equations and calculations written on boards above the machines themselves, Doby said, there's much in the mill that's irreplaceable.
"We kept everything where we found it," Doby said, even putting tools back out in the places they had been left in 1995 when the mill ceased operating.
"We would really like to be able to promote the mill and educate people," Haire said.
"That's why we're trying to do a video, and record more history."
"It's an engineering marvel, the way these chutes go from floor to floor, from machine to machine," Doby said.
She said she wishes she could see into the minds of the people who built the roller mill, and talk to them about how the place was made.
"I find something new every time I come here," Doby said.

WIP Wednesday #16
New projects:
Project Selvage
Oh, how I wish I could share with you what I'm working on for this! I'm kind of in love with the inspiration for my "line." So far, I'm just sketching away, happy to be getting it on paper. Much more to come on this one.
Ongoing projects:
So I have an actual plan now for my swap quilt. Plans are good. Especially when the project in question needs to be done only two weeks from now. Now I just have to, you know, execute the plan. A big thank-you goes to Becky, whose Sunrise Star Pillow was the inspiration for using fussy-cut Parisville in the center of this block.
Operation Stash Reorganization
Made some pretty good progress here. Everything fat-quarter size and up is now on mini-bolts and neatly shelved. Just looking at it makes me happy. But the rest of my sewing room? Not so much. The smaller scraps are everywhere. I hope to have those organized by next week.
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley
Completed quilts awaiting binding:
Modern Meadow
On hold for now:
Central Park jelly roll quilt
Figgy Pudding quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
This week's stats:
New projects - 1
Completed projects - 0
Currently in progress - 11 (up one from last week)
So, where are you at this week? Link up and show the world! Don't forget: Link back here, and comment, comment, comment.

Consoles and tablets, all or nothing huh? That does sound like one hell of a roll of the dice. A scary one.
Quick, lick everything. Nvidia is more focused and that is why they are currently on top/
Well i hope there is still an AMD in the next few years. All Intel for pc processors would not be a good thing. I hope thing's do pan out for AMD.
They'll make bank off of their console part sales regardless..Sony and Microsoft are going to have to buy a lot of em to begin with..
And in my opinion? Those are THE only two consoles to buy..Nintendo's Wii U is a joke...for many it will be a one or the other decision..and for many others? both! (Sorry AMD..I have no plans on purchasing a new console anytime soon at all..maybe a new GPU soon though. :) )
I am in the same boat as nearly everyone else, I will NOT be purchasing either of the next gen consoles (the wii u is not a next gen console) and unless things drastically change that could mean that I might be out of the console buying game forever.
Even more sad news is that even as a former AMD fan I wouldn't consider purchasing anything AMD embedded or APU related, example: I really still want a Surface Pro and if I want one I need to buy generation 1 because if the Surface Pro 2 comes with an AMD APU as rumored its a product I wouldn't be interested in and I'm hoping it will ship with an Intel Haswell CPU.
As for graphics I have always been an nvidia fanboy with th only non-nvidia gpu I've ever purchased being an ATI radeon All-In-Wonder card for an htpc in 2006 before AMD owned them.
Good luck AMD we really need you to stick around but non of your products appeal to me anymore.
used to be a amd fan but they have really let me down in the past few years i'm about to jump ship to intel on my next system upgrade
Those of you saying AMD will make bank off consoles don't seem to grasp just how bad AMD's per-console earnings are going to be.
We know AMD provided both the CPU and GPU for the PS4. Persistent scuttlebutt suggests it did the same for the Xbox Durango. We know it provided the GPU for the Wii U.
If AMD is making $8 per console sale on the Xbox / PS4 and $4 per Wii U, that'd be *great.* Think about that for a moment. 20 million console sales by the end of the year would be an extraordinarily good launch, but that only comes out to $120-$140 million in profit for 3-5 months. AMD's failing APU did business did $750 million in one *quarter.*
That's why analysts are asking Read to break down what he means when he talks about "console/embedded" products accounting for such much of AMD's revenue. Console royalties aren't very high. The Wii U, Xbox 720, and PS4 may put a little icing on the cake, but they aren't going to sustain the company.
interesting stride into the future. Hope this helps the pc market turn around a bit.
Historically, yes, they do. Current console generations are at rock-bottom prices. There are huge libraries. Consider the following:
1) The Wii U is selling abysmally. Better games will help -- when they eventually appear.
2) The Vita has sold abysmally. That's a next-gen handheld with the promise of PS4 integration.
3) The 3DS is finally selling "ok." Not much more than that, and only after a price cut.
4) Hugely successful game franchises aren't selling for beans. Just because you wouldn't invest in an Xbox 360 or PS3 *now* doesn't mean you'd stop buying games for it. Historically, game sales on entrenched consoles continue to be major revenue drivers even after a new console launches.
I really do hope that eh next-gen consoles are good. I really want them to be powerful. Not because I want to play good looking console games, but because I want the PC to pull ahead further by having to somewhat compete with them. Hopefully with the new x86 support for the next gen consoles we will have more and more game devs start developing for PC and porting to console, and less and less devs designing for console and porting to PC.

Hopefully with the new x86 support for the next gen consoles we will have more and more game devs start developing for PC and porting to console, and less and less devs designing for console and porting to PC.
While we all want this the new norm is going to be console game ported to PC unless it is strictly a PC game. Now what this will do I think with the upgraded tech in the next gen consoles is the ports to PC should be alot better.
My rig - I7-4770K, ASUS Z87-A Mobo, 16 GB Corsair Ram, AMD 7990 GPU, CoolIT AiO Cooler, NZXT H630
Yes, but game developers are currently designing the games to be crappy looking, and to be optimized for the old, outdated hardware that the consoles have.
Now that the new consoles are going to be on an updated architecture, and have newer hardware, and most importantly, MORE MEMORY!!! :D, they can finally start developing the games from actual workstations and then cutting back, instead of developing and cutting down using side-roads and software/firmware that cuts the game engines back and makes it compatible with the old console architecture.
The whole new memory thing is going to be the most important jump. Game loading times should be much faster, and the overall experience should be a little bit smoother.
Despite all this improvements and major leaps and bounds, I still can confidently say:
I wish it was that way. To elaborate more I think it is the publishers that will push console ports to PC. Valve might be the other way around but Activison and EA will make thing for console then port them to PC so we can still play them. I could be a 50/50 on what happens I just don't see if where publishers let devs build for PC and scale down to console.
I belive Apu's can save AMD

Photo by Harris & Ewing, courtesy of the Library of Congress. PD. On Monday April 1, 2013, the First Family will host the 135th annual White House Easter Monday Egg Roll. The White House expects some 35,000 people to attend the event on the South Lawn (that's still not as many as the more than 51,000 who attended in 1941). The event has become increasingly elaborate in modern times, incorporating celebrities, musical talent and more organized activities.

Focus on One Strong Color
I have found it much easier to use strong, saturated colors if I focus on one hue and use it liberally to cover many surfaces. I often like to combine that strong color with neutrals or other non-competitive hues.
I have also found that classical plans work well with lively color expression. That's because the classical approach to design relies on symmetry, balance, and strong axial relationships. If you think of color as energy, it is better expressed and viewed when the color is balanced in the room without other strong color distractions.

March 14, 2011(mostly vegetarian) vs. April 25, 2012 (almost vegan started in early March, but being vegan since the Kickstart )

Relative risk (given in the results )1/2 avg. risk. 3.27Average risk. 4.44Etc.

I need to increase my HDL for sure as it wasn't that great to start with, but I am disappointed with the fact that my triglycerides went up I didn't eat too many nuts, so I am not so sure why to have higher triglyceride My DH kind of remembered reading something about eating too much beans, but it didn't make sense to us. Any ideas?
Even though triglycerides are a fat, they can go up when you eat processed carbs (white bread, pastas, cold cereals, pastries, etc.). I don't know much about your diet, but if processed flours are in there a good deal, I would eat more whole grains like brown rice, oats, quinoa, etc.
Also, when your LDLs fall, it's not unusual that your HDLs will fall too. This phenomenon is what Dr. Dean Ornish refers to as, "If you don't have as much garbage (LDLs), you don't need as many garbage trucks (HDLs)." Remember, your HDLs are "good" only because they are poised to leave your body. You really want your LDLs to fall more than you want your HDLs to rise.
Hats off. I think you are doing great! I hope you feel better too.
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
By the way - that's an 11% drop in LDL! That's really great! And your total cholesterol is getting into what is referred to as the "heart attack proof" zone (less than 150).
Thanks for the replies, Susan. I try to eat whole wheat pasta or pasta with added fiber. However, I might have had some guacamole (my DH makes a great one) after the Kickstart program ended and that might have affected my triglycerides, who knows. However, I lost a total of 25 lb since December and feeling much better, except last week when I had a strange headache that moved around my head (I am occasional migraine sufferer) and made me weak as well gave me some nausea. I don't know if I am lacking something or it was just a bug....
Also, yesterday when we went to a steakhouse for the Mothe's Day dinner, I had fries with my veggie burger as I couldn't have the stuffed portabella because it already had the cheese mixed in its stuffing. However, I didn't eat all of the fries

I really don't think the guacamole did it. I recently googled a lot and talked with the lady who did my labs and between those two things, I've come to this conclusion.
3 causes of high triglycerides:1. Sedentary lifestyle2. Overweight or obese3. Too many processed carbs (whether from whole grain sources or not.
As a person who stopped eating white bread/pasta 4 years ago, and label read the packages to make sure I got the real stuff, my still having borderline high triglycerides leads me to believe that processed is processed, whether it's whole grains or not.
1 and 2 doesn't help either. ^u^

Rasmussen Reports' Daily Presidential Tracking Poll today puts Romney ahead of President Obama 49% to 47% among nationwide voters.
Important to note, according to Rasmussen: approximately one-third of the data was collected before Romney's strong debate performance this past Wednesday. It looks like "[t]he margin of sampling error" for Rasmussen's daily tracking polls, however, falls at +/- 3 percentage points.
Still, the poll is good news for the GOP challenger.
"Today is the first time Romney has been ahead by even a single point since mid-September," Rasmussen states.
This news follows the positive trend...

Feds with families hardest hit by proposed changes to workers' comp
Tuesday - 11/27/2012, 7:11pm EST
Disabled federal workers with dependents would be among the hardest hit by proposed changes to federal workers' compensation benefits, according to an analysis by the Government Accountability Office.
Currently, federal workers that are injured on the job are eligible to receive 66.7 percent of their pre-injury salary under the Federal Employees Compensation Act (FECA), which is administered by the Labor Department. Federal workers with dependents are eligible to receive benefits equal to 75 percent of their salaries at the time they were injured.
The department has proposed setting a uniform level of compensation — 70 percent of the pre-injury salary — regardless of dependents and further reducing benefits to 50 percent when employees reach retirement age.
But in its report that simulated those proposed changes, GAO raised concerns about the effects on beneficiaries.
"Our analyses demonstrated that there are policy levers that can be adjusted in order to achieve reform," GAO auditors wrote in the report. "However, consideration needs to be given to the impact the change will have on the adequacy of benefits and the ensuing fairness across beneficiaries, both at the time of injury and over the lifetime of the beneficiary."
Effect on beneficiaries with dependents
Currently, the wage-replacement rate — the percentage of take-home pay that is replaced by FECA benefits — is 80 percent. That would drop to 77 percent if the Labor Department compensated all beneficiaries at the uniform rate.
FECA beneficiaries with dependents would be the most prone to a drop in FECA compensation.
Now, FECA recipients with dependents have a median wage-replacement rate that is 3 percentage points higher than for recipients without any dependents, according to GAO's analysis. Under the proposed changes, that gap would widen but in the opposite direction. Beneficiaries with dependents would have a wage-replacement rate 6 percentage points less than those without dependents.
Proposed changes would affect retirement
Similarly, the GAO report raised concerns about reducing FECA benefits when beneficiaries reach retirement age.
At retirement, FECA recipients continue to receive their workers' compensation benefits and can also draw on their Thrift Savings Plan annuity. Regular retirement under the Federal Employee Retirement System consists of the FERS annuity, TSP benefits and Social Security payments.
GAO's simulation showed that after a 30-year career, median FECA benefits, as currently administered, are about equal to or 10 percent less than median FERS retirement benefits, depending on TSP contributions.
But under Labor's proposed changes, the median FECA benefit package would be significantly less — about 31 to 35 percent — than the FERS retirement package, according to the report.
NTEU: Report supports union position
The push to reform the federal workers' compensation has also been driven by lawmakers who say the program is prone to abuse.
Congress has debated proposals that go even further than the Labor Department's suggested changes. Last spring, the Senate passed a postal reform bill that included a measure to limit benefits to 66.67 percent of employees' pre-injury salary, regardless of dependents.
The National Treasury Employees Union blasted that proposal at the time. NTEU President Colleen Kelley seized on the GAO report, saying it "underscores and supports the position of NTEU regarding the serious negative impact on recipients of federal workers' compensation benefits from postal reform legislative language strongly opposed by NTEU and approved earlier this year by the Senate."
