2009 Mazda MAZDA6 LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH NHTSA Campaign #13V425000
Summary: Mazda is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured February 4, 2008, through August 24, 2012. The door latch mounting screws may become loose.
Consequence: If all three door latch mounting screws become excessively loose the door latch mechanism would not engage and the door might open while the vehicle is in motion increasing the risk of accident or injury.
Actions: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will apply a thread locking adhesive to the door screws and retorque them, free of charge. The recall began on October 29, 2013. Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's recall number is 7013I. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #13V425000 »
2009 Mazda MAZDA6 FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY NHTSA Campaign #11V134000
Summary: Mazda is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured from April 8, 2008, through February 8, 2010. A certain type of spider may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line and this may cause a restriction in the line. If this occurs, the fuel tank pressure may become excessively negative when the emission control system works to purge the vapors from the canister.
Consequence: As the canister is purged repeatedly during normal operation, the stress on the fuel tank may eventually result in a crack, potentially leading to fuel leakage ad an increased risk of fire.
Actions: Dealers will inspect and clean up the canister vent line, and install a spring to prevent this type of spider from entering the vent line. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before March 25, 2011. Owners may contact Mazda customer assistance center at 1-800-222-5500. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #11V134000 »
2009 Mazda MAZDA6 EQUIPMENT NHTSA Campaign #09E011000
Summary: Thule, Inc. Is recalling 2,323 owner-installed roof-mounted fit kits, models 3068 and 3069, manufactured between January 1, 2008 and February 28, 2009 that are used with thule podium foot packs, models 460 and 460R. These fit kits were sold as aftermarket equipment for use on the vehicles listed above. The bolt(s) used to secure the foot to the vehicle was manufactured to a hardness that may cause the bolt(s) to be brittle and potentially break under stress.
Consequence: This may result in the bolt(s) snapping off during use or without a load. The unsecured rack and load can then come loose while driving creating a potential road hazard, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Actions: Thule will mail a retro fit kit along with repair instructions to owners free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before April 13, 2009. Owners may contact thule toll-free at 1-800-238-2388. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #09E011000 »
2009 Mazda MAZDA6 STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS NHTSA Campaign #09V043000
Summary: Mazda is recalling 29,000 MY 2009 Mazda6. The outer door handles may stick which may prevent the door from latching. This situation may allow the door to open while the vehicle is in motion.
Consequence: Driving the vehicle with the door unlatched could lead to an unbelted occupant being ejected and could result in death or injury.
Actions: Dealers will inspect the door handles and if necessary repair or replace the handles free of charge. The recall began on February 13, 2009. Owners may contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #09V043000 »

SLIPKNOT have left their hometown of Des Moines, Iowa for Los Angeles, California to begin work on their long-awaited third full-length album, tentatively due in early 2004 through Roadrunner Records. Rick Rubin (SYSTEM OF A DOWN, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SLAYER) is expected to produce the effort, the material for which is being described by frontman Corey Taylor as "fucking killer.""Well, once again I have to leave my family and hometown to head west, to the Mecca of Malfeasance, L.A., to start work on the third installment of the SLIPKNOT saga," Taylor writes in a posting on the STONE SOUR message board StoneSourBoard.com. "I'm leaving with reservations and a mix of anticipation and cynicism. STONE SOUR has a become a blasting target for the press, who labels us a 'post-grunge basement band' and 'unimaginative dog-shite' (shite thrown in for our British fans). "That's funny… Coulda sworn people liked us... at least that's what the album sales said. "Nevertheless, the same will happen with SLIPKNOT, who the press have been braying about since STONE SOUR's last tour, but I don't really care anymore. People are going to bag on whatever I do regardless, because critics try to destroy the one thing they themselves cannot do. If you like my music, thank you — if you don't, thanks for sending a little more negativity into the world. "I'm really looking forward to the new album with SLIPKNOT. A lot seems to have changed with the band and the material is fucking killer. We are working on another STONE SOUR album as well, and it is amazing as well. So I want to thank everyone who has stuck by both projects for all these years. Sometimes we really don't know what's going on, sometimes we don't get along, and sometimes we stick our foot in our mouth (or at least I do), but through it all, you have shown us that, with both bands, it is you who allow us to do this, and we thank you. "Gotta go — the IBM is wailing. "Oh, and BLABBERMOUTH, if I spelled anything wrong on this, please correct it when you eventually reprint it. "Thank you. "Corey Taylor"

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama finds himself inching back into a fight he's tried to leave behind.
The president announced today he's dispatching 300 U.S. military advisers to Iraq to help quell the rising insurgency in the crumbling nation. He also challenged Iraq's embattled leader, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, to create a more inclusive government or risk his country descending into sectarian civil war. Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to travel to Iraq soon to press its government to share more power.
Less than three years after Obama heralded the end of America's war in Iraq, he insisted that he's not sending the military back into combat. Still, when coupled with previously announced steps, the president's actions could put about 600 additional U.S. troops in the midst of Iraq's deeply unstable security situation.
Underscoring the volatility is a tenacious fight over Iraq's largest oil refinery north of Baghdad. Iraqi soldiers and helicopter gunships battled Sunni militants for a third day on Thursday for control of the refinery.

DUI Trial for Driver in MLB Player's Death Continues
The trial of DUI defendant Andrew Gallo is now focused recently on whether Gallo knew that driving drunk was a dangerous decision just before he hit and killed Nick Adenhart, a pitcher for Major League Baseballs' Anaheim Angels, and two other people.
The prosecution in the case, in its closing statements, made the claim that Gallo knew the dangers of what he was doing, and that he cared only about himself, according to an article in the Associated Press.
Deputy District Attorney Susan Price told the jury in the California DUI case that Gallo "made the decision to get intoxicated beyond the point of any reason."
The defense argued that Gallo did not act out of malice, and did not mean to kill anybody. According to the defense, Gallo thought that his stepbrother would be the designated driver, and only drove after his stepbrother became intoxicated as well.
Gallo was in a state of blackout brought on by excessive drinking.
Price replied by saying, "He doesn't get rewarded for three free murders because he chose to get too drunk. The car keys weren't forced upon him. They weren't glued to his hand."
The prosecution allege that Gallo and his stepbrother drank beer and took shots at three different bars over the course of several hours before he ran a red light at 65 miles per hour and struck the car in which Adenhart was a passenger.
Adenhart was killed, as were his friends Courtney Stewart and Henry Pearson. Their car was allegedly T-boned by Gallo's car. Stewart and Pearson were killed instantly, while Adenhart died while in surgery. Earlier that evening Adenhart had pitched his first game of the season for the Anaheim Angels.
Jon Wilhite was the fourth passenger in the car and the only survivor. He has endured a long rehabilitation after skull and spine injuries.
Gallo has pleaded not guilty to three counts of second degree murder. According to the prosecution, his blood alcohol content was three time over the legal limit for operating a motor vehicle.
If he is convicted of the charges, which include others for fleeing the scene and DUI-related charges, he faces 50 years in jail.

There is a $5 non-refundable reservation fee per site. Groups reservations can be made for the fall, winter, and spring months by calling the park.
About the Park
Visitors traveling along I-10 in southern Arizona can't miss the prominent 1,500-foot peak of Picacho Peak State Park. Enjoy the view as you hike the trails that wind up the peak and, often in the spring, overlook a sea of wildflowers. The park and surrounding area are known for its unique geological significance, outstanding and varied desert growth, and historical importance. The unique shape has been used as a landmark by travelers since prehistoric times. One of the first recordings was in the 1700s by the Anza Expedition as it passed through the area.
The park facilities include a visitor center with exhibits and a gift store, hiking trails, playground, historical markers, campground, picnic areas, ramadas, grills, dump station, restrooms, and showers. The group use areas, for day & overnight use, are available by reservation. Before you hike, be prepared with enough water and proper footwear as the trails are steep and challenging.
LEED Certified Visitor Center
Open since 2009, the Visitor Center has public restrooms, a gift shop, plus vending machines with drinks and snacks. Hours vary, but are typically 8am. to 5pm. The building is currently in the LEED Certified "Gold".

Hunter Trail Wins "Best of Phoenix" Winter Hike
This annual publication in Phoenix is a go-to guide of what's cool and fun to do. This year's issue has a Science theme. The Hunter Trail at Picacho Peak SP won the Best Winter Hike: "Besides the decent camping facilities and yearly Civil War battle re-enactment at the site, Picacho's premier attraction is the spectacular Hunter Trail, which goes up to the precipitous summit. It's a four-mile-round-trip butt-kicker, harkening to the likes of Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak. Steel cables and planks help nervous hikers overcome the steepest parts, and the 360-degree view at the top of the surrounding desert and nearby mountains is well worth the effort."

Practical Mac
SAN FRANCISCO — At the yearly Macworld/iWorld conference and expo this week, some of the most interesting news in the Apple ecosystem was provided by Seattle-area companies.
After months of rumors, Microsoft finally introduced an Office suite for the iPad (
office.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/), which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. The apps are free for viewing documents. To edit and collaborate with others requires an Office 365 subscription; the most affordable option, Office 365 Home Premium, costs $99 per year and works on up to five computers (Windows or Mac) and up to five tablets.
I haven't had enough time to really work with the Office apps, but I can see how they'd be useful for groups that are already deeply wedded to Microsoft's suite on other platforms.

Also introduced (and appearing at the show) was Cloak 2.0, a utility for creating secure virtual private network (VPN) connections when you're working or traveling away from your usual network.
I wrote about Cloak last year after being introduced to the Fremont-based company at Macworld/iWorld 2013, and soon after I subscribed to its service. Cloak bypasses a lot of the trouble that's traditionally involved in setting up a VPN.
When I'm working on my MacBook Pro in a coffee shop, the software initially blocks network connections until it makes an encrypted Internet connection. That prevents nearby snoops from analyzing the wireless traffic between your computer and the cafe's router.
Version 2.0 cleans up the interface a bit on the Mac, but the real work was put into the iOS version. Previously, after Cloak had been configured, you'd have to go to Settings and enable the VPN. Now, Cloak 2.0 can establish a secure tunnel without that manual step.
I realize that probably sounds trivial, but on iOS devices it hasn't been easy to implement. As a result, I admit, I often forgot to turn on the VPN on my iPad, even though I was using it on my MacBook Pro on the same table.
Cloak 2.0 costs $2.99 per month to transfer up to 5 GB of data, or $9.99 per month for unlimited data. There are also options for paying for one-time passes covering a day, a week, a month and a year as in-app purchases. A free 30-day trial is also available.
The last product, not yet on the market, is a welcome piece of software that fills a need. BusyMac announced a new application for the Mac called BusyContacts. The company's business model is surprisingly simple: Make much better versions of applications that Apple has stumbled on.
In this case, the culprit is the Contacts application built into OS X. The Contacts library is used by many areas of the system (for example, Mail gets your friends' email addresses from there), but the Contacts app itself has always been subpar.
BusyContacts taps the same underlying data but promises to not be a frustrating experience. In addition to offering a better interface than the Contacts app, it adds keyword tags for better organization and smart lists of contacts.
I love the idea of smart lists, mostly because I find groups in the Contacts app almost unworkable. A search for Seattle Times, for example, would find everyone in my address book who works at The Seattle Times. When I added someone new, that person would automatically appear in the smart list; I wouldn't have to manually add him or her to the group (which I could forget to do, resulting in the person not being included on communications, say).
BusyContacts will also feature customizable list views (so you can choose which information to show) and shared address books. Tight integration with the company's BusyCal application means you'll be able to see in one place all of the events that involved a particular person.
BusyContacts will be in beta this summer, with a release date in 2015, and is expected to cost $50.
Although Macworld/iWorld is not the behemoth it once was in its old Macworld Expo incarnation (when Apple dominated the show and largely set the tone), the show has found itself a successful comfort zone.

On a day when the Hindu Raksha Dal activists attacked the Kaushambi headquarters of the Aam Aadmi Party, a PIL was filed before the Delhi High Court seeking directions to the new Chief Minister to accept security cover.
No one can be permitted to expose himself and others to lethal danger because of personal, political or ideological reasons as right to life and personal liberty do not include a right to jeopardise life and personal liberty of self and others, the plea, filed by advocate Anoop Prakash Awasthi, said. It was mentioned before the bench of Justice B D Ahmad and Justice Siddharth Mridul on Wednesday afternoon.
Claiming that the safety of a chief minister was not limited to him personally, the plea stated that as a constitutional authority, the chief minister was within the writ jurisdiction of the High Court, and, hence, sought orders to Arvind Kejriwal to accept security cover for himself and his council of ministers.
Ten times the normal number of police personnel are being deployed to protect the CM and this is incurring 10 times the normal expenditure, the plea said, adding that several senior ministers, chief ministers, and even prime ministers of the country had been targeted by various terror groups over the years.
It said as a constitutional authority, the chief ministers death would lead to a political crisis. The plea also argued that the threat is not limited to Kejriwal alone, but would affect other persons near him as well, who will be exposed to danger if he is attacked.
The petition also mentions the smashing of the windscreen of Minister for Women and Child development Rakhi Birlas car earlier this week.
During the brief hearing, allusions were also made to news reports of the attack on the AAP office, which had occurred earlier in the day.
The PIL will come up for hearing next Wednesday, as the court did not see any ground for urgent hearing of the matter.

The Anchor
Every parent understands that your joy and sorrow rises and falls with your child. Your heart vacillates between those two extremes as your child faces tragedy and triumph.
You may be on top of your game at work, but if you get a call from the principal telling you your child just cheated on a test, you feel like an utter failure. You may be enjoying great health yourself, but when your child's pediatrician wants to run some tests to rule out a dreaded diagnosis, your lay awake nights worrying.
On the flip side, even if your own world is tumbling down, when you hear your child won first place in the spelling bee, your heart soars. When your previously broken-hearted child bounces into the room glowing with enthusiasm, your own troubles cease to matter.
The problem with this level of investment is that our commitment makes us emotionally vulnerable to the point of occasionally threatening our own stability. Parents must safeguard against losing their own perspective as they join kids in their highs and lows.
Our stability is one of the great gifts we give our children. As they're tossed on the rocky sea of growing up, our confident perspective gives them the courage to face hardship. Because we've lived longer, we know that things generally work out. This knowledge gives our kids hope to endure the hard times.
And when our children are on top of the world with their own success, our unshakeable priorities anchor them, preventing them from getting too carried away with themselves. We join the celebration, but help keep their feet on the ground, recognizing that success is a time for gratitude, not gloating.
When our children are swayed in either direction, it's up to us to manage our own feelings enough to project into our children's future with courage and assurance that supersedes emotions.
It's a tall order for parents to be the perspective bearers at times when we keenly feel our own emotional responses to our kids' experiences. But when a child is securely anchored on stormy seas, he'll sail confidently into his own future.

Back in May, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and members of the Fox News A-Team took issue with Michelle Obama's decision to have Common perform at a White House poetry event.
Although their outcry never prevented Common from performing at the First Lady's event, Beck and company accused the Chicago, Illinois rapper of promoting violence in one particular song, and questioned his "friendship" with Assata Shakur. This week, Common addressed the issue on "The Daily Show" during a chat with host Jon Stewart, who previously defended him during a debate with Bill O'Reilly.
"At first, I thought it was humorous… Then I realized they just didn't know me, because if they had, they wouldn't come out and say that I rap about killing cops," Common said. "Anyone that knows me knows I put out music about love, I put out music about social consciousness, community, God, having fun."
He added that co-workers on the set of his upcoming AMC show Hell On Wheels took notice of the rumors. "Some of my team members told me, 'Fox News and Sarah Palin said this and that about you, that you were this type of artist,'" he said. "That's when I was like, 'Really? You sure?' Sarah Palin must have never have heard any of Common's music."
Common's 9th album The Dreamer, The Believer is scheduled for a late 2011 release. Hell On Wheels premieres on AMC November 6th.

HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH, Associated Press
MIDDLETON, Idaho (AP) - Officials at Middleton Heights Elementary didn't set out to confront gender stereotypes when they started splitting up the boys and girls.
But that's exactly what happened, with the rural Idaho public school now among dozens nationwide being targeted by the American Civil Liberties Union in a bitter struggle over whether single-sex learning should be continued.
While the Middleton school is believed to be alone in offering single-sex classes in Idaho, the movement is widespread.
Single-sex classes began proliferating after the federal government relaxed restrictions in 2006. With research showing boys are graduating at lower rates than girls and faring worse on tests, plenty of schools were paying attention.
An estimated 500 public schools nationwide offer some all-boy and all-girl classrooms, up from a handful in 2002.

Welcome to the latest incarnation of tadSpot! The first thing to do is to click the "About Tad" link up near the top of the page and watch my welcome video (or just read the text - BORING!). Then make sure you're following me on FriendFeed, Twitter and Pownce (see the links at the About Tad page).
I'm planning on updating this blog regularly, though not necessarily in the same vein as most bloggers. Most people make posts about sites, articles and other things that excite them. That's SO blog 1.0. Blog 2.0 is more about connection - I post about stuff like that over in FriendFeed.
I'm sure I'll end up posting stuff like that here on tadSpot, but for the most part I'm going to be posting content that I create myself here. This is kind of like the common parking spot for all things created by me. I like to make a near week-daily video podcast called "Tad's Random Things." That'll be here. My favorite pictures that I take will be here. Screen shots and video grabs from Second Life and my favorite games will be here. If I feel overcome with the desire to write an essay on something it will likewise be here.
I just don't want tadSpot to be yet another blabbity blab blab blog full of my opinions about stuff other people make. That stuff goes in twitter, friendfeed and pownce.
So, welcome and enjoy!

FRIDAY FUNNY: The Laws Of Work According To Dilbert
This Friday Funny is inspired by the Friday Funny Mailing List, but has been combined with selections from this list to emphasize subjects nearest and dearest to the hearts of facilities management professionals.
- Tell me what you need and I'll tell you how to get along without it.
- Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the statue.

- On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.
- I don't suffer from stress. I am merely a carrier.
- Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
- A pat on the back is only a few centimeters away from a kick in the butt.
- Don't be irreplaceable – if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
- After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.
- The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.

HEAD COACH Bob Toledo
Overall thoughts on Wednesday's practice
"Any time you go the first day (in full pads) after you've been running around for four days, it's going to be a little raggedy. You don't want to accept it, and that's what I told them. But it happens. They're a little tired and they're a little irritable. It's the first day carrying a lot of equipment around, and it's not easy."
On what part of practice the team went full-contact on
"We call it an alley drill. Basically, it's football. We have an offensive player blocking a defensive player with a guy running with the football. The offensive player has to sustain the block. The defensive player has to separate themselves from the block, get rid of him and go make the tackle. That's a five-minute drill that we'll do an awful lot of times when we have full pads on."
More on the alley drill
"It's more of an offensive drill than a defensive drill because there's only one guy and its hard to get off a block and make that tackle in a little five-yard square. We started off doing that in the spring and we weren't very good at it, but we got a lot better as it went along. Today, it proved that we need to continue to do it because we didn't do it very well. After a few days, I expect us to be much better at it."
On why the team did not go full contact on Wednesday
"I'm not a full-contact scrimmage guy. That's pretty much a scrimmage what we did today. When you're going full speed with no tackling, we call that `Thud' and we were just trying not to bring anyone to the ground. I don't want all sorts of bodies flying around, so we go full speed with no tackling."
On if there was another area the team went full-contact outside of the alley drill
"The one thing we did was we went some live PAT/field goal and some live punting. We had a couple of field goals and punts blocked, but that was one of those things where it was more of the backups than the starters. When they did it the first few days, it was just helmets or just shells and it's not like when you go live. They've got to realize that those guys are going to go hard and you have to match that intensity. They learned that today."
On who has stood out after five days of preseason practice
"The obvious guys are obvious every day. I think Gabe Ratcliff has really had a good camp so far. The three guys in the middle of the offensive line (left guard Troy Kropog, center Aryan Barto, right guard Michael Parenton) are getting to work with each other and we're getting to the point where we can double-team some people and really knock some guys off the ball in the middle. I think (Brian) King is doing a nice job at wide receiver. I think the back-up linebackers are doing a nice job. (Reggie) Scott and Sean (Carney) were both hurt in the spring and weren't able to do anything, but they've really caught our eye and they're doing some nice things. The safeties are really the strength of our defense, and both all of those guys are really good players."

Former Agape World, Inc. President and Owner Pleads Guilty to Mail and Wire Fraud in Ponzi Scheme
|U.S. Attorney's Office October 29, 2010
Earlier today, Nicholas Cosmo, the former president and owner of Agape World, Inc. ("Agape") and Agape Merchant Advance, LLC ("AMA"), pleaded guilty to federal mail fraud and wire fraud charges for his role in running a Ponzi scheme that resulted in losses in excess of $195 million dollars. The guilty plea proceeding was held before United States District Judge Denis R. Hurley, at the U.S. Courthouse in Central Islip, New York. When sentenced, Cosmo faces a maximum sentence of 40 years' imprisonment.
The guilty plea was announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Peter Zegarac, Inspector-in-Charge, New York Division, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and Janice K. Fedarcyk, Assistant Director-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office.
Between October 2003 to January 2009, Cosmo executed a scheme to defraud investors of Agape by representing that their money would be used to fund short-term bridge loans to commercial borrowers and loans to other businesses, specifically, commercial business entities that accepted credit cards. He promised the investors unusually high rates of return. Initially, Cosmo paid partial returns to early investors, which were falsely represented to be profits generated from loans, and thereafter persuaded those investors and new victims to invest additional funds in the two companies. In fact, Cosmo lost in excess of $100 million of investor money through unauthorized futures and commodities trading activity and other unauthorized activity. As a result, the government estimates that approximately 3,000 victims suffered losses totaling in excess of $195 million.
"The defendant devised and orchestrated a scheme that highlights the need for vigilance and vigorous enforcement of our laws to prevent this kind criminal activity in the future," stated United States Attorney Lynch. Ms. Lynch extended her grateful appreciation to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the agencies that led the government's investigation.
As part of his guilty plea agreement with the government, Cosmo agreed to forfeit his right in assets seized by the government and to the entry of a restitution order of no less than $195 million to be paid to his victims.
The government's case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Demetri M. Jones, Grace M. Cucchissi, and Vincent Lipari.
The Defendant:
Age: 39

CalPERS, gun control, immigration and more
Fong and CalPERS
In response to "Two state agencies, one management culture" (Editorial, utsandiego.com, March 5): The U-T San Diego Editorial Board crossed the line in your March 5 piece bashing CalPERS and the High Speed Rail Authority. This article cannot in good conscience be designated an editorial. It was instead a smear of a respected individual and two forward-thinking organizations. We'd like to set the record straight.
CalPERS is in the midst of unprecedented change from which we don't shy away. We have been active participants in ensuring public pensions are sustainable, and will continue to adjust our strategies and methods to keep promised benefits affordable and secure for public workers. Russell Fong has been a leader within our organization as we work toward these goals.
During Mr. Fong's tenure, CalPERS increased transparency and oversight that elevated our financial integrity. Within the Financial Office, he created a new approach to cash management to help staff actively monitor and manage our cash flow. He established collections procedures to ensure timely payments to CalPERS and he improved the reconciliation process and transparency of our investment expenses. When the High Speed Rail [Authority] hired Russell Fong, they got a seasoned professional – with a strong history of oversight and independence.
In future pieces, we challenge you to meet at least some of the standards you require of your online commenters: Be relevant, respectful, honest, discreet and responsible. – Brad Pacheco, Chief, CalPERS Office of Public Affairs
Double-barreled 'doublespeak'
[Chula Vista] Mayor [Cheryl] Cox's statement at the end of the recent article on her support for the gun ban legislation proposed by U.S. Sen. Feinstein ("Republican mayor backs gun control," March 8) illustrates precisely why politicians are held in such low regard by the electorate. Though claiming that she is not "… chipping away at the right to buy arms legally or … hold legal weapons, …" that is precisely what she is doing in supporting a bill that will, with the stroke of a pen, outlaw more than 150 firearms that are currently legal for sale and ownership by law-abiding citizens in this country. Regardless of political party affiliation, that's just more of the same old "doublespeak" that we citizens have had to put up with for far too long. – John Turner, San Diego
Fashioning political vagueness
Michael Gerson's column, "Jeb Bush's reform," (Opinion, March 8), ends up being more of a politically expedient refutation. In fact, the U-T's Elizabeth Aguilera, in her March 6 report, "Jeb Bush's new book adds spice to debate on immigration," confirms that Bush's position changed from one of being resolutely opposed to access to citizenship for those here illegally to a "clarification" that would "support a pathway to citizenship if reform is done in way that prevents future illegal immigration."
It is quite apparent that the Republicans are so desperate to get the issue of immigration off of the table, due to the lack of support among Hispanic voters, that they are willing to be complicit in re-enacting the dismal failure of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), which granted amnesty to the then 2.7 illegal immigrants in the country without effectively implementing the strict enforcement measures included in the law. Of course, this only resulted in the 11 million illegal immigrants now in question.
The ever-changing positions of Jeb Bush and his Florida colleague, Sen. Marco Rubio, are obviously designed to create a political vagueness, which will serve to enhance their potential presidential candidacies for 2016.
However, this is not about what is in the best interests of one ethnic group or one political party. It is about the erosion of respect for the tradition of American law, and the devaluing of American citizenship, purely for political purposes, and which is certainly not in the best interests of our great nation. – Jim Redhead, San Diego

ObamaCare Tax Credit Myth
Promoted from the diaries by Caleb. Being somewhat of a libertarian, I wasn't a supporter of ObamaCare.

Teen Wolf – Recap: Isaac Unleashed!
Teen Wolf continued Season 3 tonight by shedding a little more light on both the tribal sacrificing and alpha pack storylines, only to see one were-puppy cast out as a stray. Sorry, Isaac!
Episode 4 of Season 3 was surprisingly heavy considering the light-hearted nature of the show. Then again, when someone is sacrificing perfectly nice virgins to some god-awful Druid demon known as Darach amidst the looming threat of an evil alpha pack of werewolves, things were probably destined to get a little dark. Throw in a flashback of Isaac locked in a basement cooler, and that was that. My evening was sure ruined! Not in actuality. Episode 4, "Unleashed," was probably my favorite episode yet (even without the incomparable Ian Bohen shaking things up as Peter Hale) proving that Teen Wolf hasn't merely grown in popularity heading into the middle of Season 3, but that it has expanded as a show in general. Teen Wolf is a bona fide good time. Let us begin the recap and review of Season 3 Episode 4, "Unleashed"!
Episode 4 opened with a scene at Dr. Deaton's (Seth Gilliam) veterinarian office. A high school boy had taken in his sick dog, little Bullet. Mistletoe poisoning; don't you just hate when that happens? I enjoyed the look on Scott's (Tyler Posey) face when Deaton clued him in on the plant's toxic nature when it comes to dogs… or dog-kind. The kid seemed like a swell dude, yet he'd quickly become the next innocent victim to go missing in this string of town murders. I'm not quite certain what was lurking under that dumpster, but it sure wasn't little Bullet.
The episode continued in the school locker room with Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) obsessively searching for somebody to swipe his v-card with. Danny (Keahu Kahuanui) was happy to offer up the right side of his bed for Stilinski. Not really, though. I love when the show finds new ways to create "Stiles loves Danny" moments. Watching Danny toy with him always creates a nice little comedic moment. "Normal Stiles" is probably desperate to lose his virginity in any case. "Sacrificial Lamb Stiles" was in a state of complete and utter panic.
Apparently, the show is benching lacrosse season in favor of cross-country running this time around. Isaac (Daniel Sharman) caught a foul whiff of those freakishly smug alpha twins, Aiden (Max Carver) and Ethan (Charlie Carver), just before setting out on their run. #IsaacUnleashed, we were prompted to tweet. #IsaacUnleashed! For whatever reason, Isaac figured the middle of their cross-country practice was a great time to start a violent confrontation with the twins. Luckily, Scott was there just in the knick of time to crack one half of the duo's jaw out of place. Saved by the body! The poor boy from the vet showed up dead in the typical sacrificial fashion. One moment you're cracking your jaw back into place, the next, it's all, who's dead on the tree?
Isaac quickly became obsessed with taking down the twins, while Scott attempted to quash his rage. Remember, Season 3 opened with their attack on Isaac and his mysterious lady friend. Were they responsible for her death? Was anyone else curious as to how Isaac had forgotten so much of what had gone down? In any case, the boys lured Isaac into the hallway, where he witnessed what first seemed like a bizarre twin-on-twin pleasure fight. Basically, one twin, I'll go with Aiden because I can't tell them apart, allowed his brother to crack him across the face a few times. Isaac watched on cluelessly, only to discover that the scheme the entire time was to bait him into taking the fall. A plain old detention for that bloody mess? Isaac should be howling at his lucky stars for that easy break. By the way, Mr. Harris (Adam Fristoe) returned this week to be a boring chemistry teacher and all around horrible human being.
Allison (Crystal Reed) landed herself a spot in lunch detention as well, after falling asleep in Ms. Morell's French class. There was a quick, "What were you doing at the bank that night?" "No, no, no… What were you doing at the bank?" bit of banter between the two after class. An "impasse," for anyone wondering, is an old French term for a road with no exit or a situation without any progress. I was as baffled as Allison when the woman quizzed her regarding that, though. In the end, Argent ended up paired with Isaac for detention duties, much to his dismay. I had forgotten all about Allison's twisted stabbing session with Isaac last season! I believe an apology was owed there, Allison. What a crazy concept! Whenever I stab someone repeatedly with Chinese weaponry, I always think to say "sorry." That was settled quickly enough, yet the two found themselves locked inside the storage closet they'd been organizing. Those pesky twins were up to no good again! Remember, Isaac's abusive father had a nasty habit of locking his son in a tiny cooler as a form of heinous punishment. The boys, apparently, had caught wind of Isaac's fear, driving him to wolf out and putting Allison in danger. Scott, yet again, managed to step in just in time to save his ex from Isaac's outburst. Isaac quickly apologized for tearing into Allison's arm. Apology accepted! Call it even.
Also, great work from Daniel Sharman this week. I glad this show kept such a unique and intriguing character around.
Well, maybe not even quite yet. The twins were still in need of a heaping dose of good old-fashioned embarrassment, and the trio thought up just the way to drive them to crack; "drive" being the key word, of course. Allison hotwired one of their precious motorcycles, and sparks flew between her and Isaac in the process. A joyride into the middle of the school hallway was enough to drive one of the twins, take your pick, straight into their trap. Just as they'd duped Isaac, the tool was left standing in the middle of the school hallway with a motorcycle, absolutely shocking Ms. Blake (Haley Webb) in the process. That garners a suspension but a brutal beating gets a lunch detention? Stretching it a bit there, Teen Wolf! Speaking of Ms. Blake, Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) had paid his damsel in distress a visit earlier in the episode, just to "make sure she was okay." More sparks flying and more getting nowhere! Well, at least we got a name. Nice to officially meet you, Jennifer! Not that Derek said anything of the sort. That wouldn't be smooth or broody enough for Derek Hale.
Derek seriously can't catch a break, though, all things considered. Deucalion's (Gideon Emory) alpha crew paid Derek and his sister, Cora (Adelaide Kane), a visit at their swanky loft lair. I'm just going to throw this out there; I don't like seeing feet normally speaking, but that she-wolf is sporting some truly heinous claws down there. Derek ended up impaled through the back for a significant portion of Episode 4. He bled for at least enough time for Deucalion to explain his status as the epic "Demon Wolf"! A resounding "who"? Basically, Deucalion realized, post-blinding, that killing members of your own pack infuses an alpha with that wolf's power… so he killed everyone. Again, "Demon Wolf"! Deucalion's been plotting to convince Derek to murder at least one of his own, as all of his pack members have. Derek, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that average alpha werewolf powers are enough. I hope Derek doesn't start to look at Isaac and Scott like puppy chow.
Stiles spent the majority of "Unleashed" attempting to get to the bottom of the tribal sacrifices on his own. Afraid to enlist his father for help because, I'm assuming, of his fear of exposing Sheriff Stilinski (Linden Ashby) to the world of the supernatural, he'd find an unlikely ally in Lydia (Holland Roden). Stiles had managed to discover through the dead boy's girlfriend that he was no virgin. If sacrifices traditionally come in threes, who were the new targets of the serial killer? The scariest part of Season 3 thus far, to me, is Lydia's losing of time. It's a true living nightmare to disassociate from reality long enough to, say, mysteriously pop up in a music class while doodling. Obviously, she's somehow tied to this story arc, as she tends to zap in and out of time in cases where she's lead to clues. For example, this week, Lydia discovered a piano recording that had occurred before she came back to mental consciousness. On the recording, the pianist practiced his instrument before being "taken." The audio that followed featured some downright terrifying chanting.
Lydia is this show's "skeleton key." Meaning, they need to keep her powers and abilities in the dark for now because it allows them the option to do anything they want. They can have her show up in any location, discover any clue, etc. There's no real rhyme or reason to it, but we don't need one! This is Teen Wolf! Supernatural beings galore!
The discovery was enough to get Lydia onboard the Stile's train of thought, and the two sought out more help from Dr. Deaton, who knows a thing or two about mostly everything supernatural. In truth, the man had been in denial, witnessing the signs of the return of Darach, the evil equivalent of a Druid peaceful priest. Darach is still a mystery to us, at this point. We don't know if it's a person, demon, group, etc. By the episode's end, the trio managed to deduce that "warriors" must be the latest victims in this thing's sacrifices. The boy who'd been most recently offed was a member of the school military program. The final victim of the episode was none other than Mr. Harris, who apparently had his own sort of military cadet training under his belt. Quite an unlikely fit, if you ask me. Doesn't the military breed respect? That man was a travesty, even admitting to helping, at least in someway, the murderer before being sacrificed (finally) himself. Could one of the female teachers be this "Darach" character?
Afraid of hurting his own pack, Derek cast Isaac out into the pouring rain. Personally, I hadn't even realized that Isaac was actually living with Derek. I thought he just sort of hung around all the time for kicks. Derek was forced to "White Fang" Isaac out of the loft, even going as far as to smash a glass bottle above his head. In the end, Isaac the stray dog meandered his way over to Scott McCall's bedroom, soaking wet and in need of his only true friend.
What did you think of Teen Wolf, Season 3 Episode 4, "Unleashed"? Do you have a theory about Darach? Do you think it's someone we know or simply someone from Deaton's past? Do you like the chemistry between Isaac and Allison? Now that Isaac is crashing with Scott, does this spell trouble? Are you looking forward to Stiles and Lydia playing detective? Will Derek bend to Deucalion's will?
Thanks for reading my Recap and Review of Teen Wolf, Season 3 Episode 4, "Unleashed"!

New PNNL Small-Scale Hydrodesulfurizer/Steam Reformer System Lets Portable Fuel Cells Use JP-8 or Diesel
12 June 2009

A new system developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory allows portable fuel cells to operate using JP-8—a common fuel used worldwide in military applications with and sulfur levels that can vary considerably from region to region—or road diesel.
The development of fuel cell power systems supplied by liquid hydrocarbon fuels such as JP-8 or diesel has continued to be challenged by the difficulty in cleanly reforming these fuels without catalyst deterioration. One of the major sources of catalyst deterioration and resulting low conversion activity has been the presence of sulfur in these fuels.
Various approaches to dealing with sulfur have included: the development of sulfur-tolerant catalysts; use of sulfur specific and regenerable adsorbents; selective oxidation of sulfur species followed by their adsorptive removal; and removal by catalytic hydrodesulfurization (HDS).
All have their challenges when applied to small and potentially portable fuel cell systems. The only commercially proven technology is hydrodesulfurization (HDS), which has generally been considered impractical for operation in small-scale applications. The requirement for available high pressure hydrogen has provided a major hurdle.
To address these issues, the PNNL team has developed a small-scale hydrodesulfurization units that is coupled with a steam reformer operating at 15-20 atm. Rather than requiring hydrogen, steam reformate can be utilized for the HDS unit. A fraction of the total reformate is diverted to the HDS unit, with the remainder treated as needed and provided to the fuel cell.
In a paper presented at the 21st North American Meeting (21st NAM) of the Catalysis Society in San Francisco, PNNL scientist David King described extended tests integrating the HDS unit with a microchannel steam reformer, in which actual steam reformate feeds the HDS unit and the clean fuel as processed by the HDS unit is fed to the reformer.
Results presented at the conference showed HDS of the JP-8 fuel to less than 500 ppbw (parts per billion by weight). For the steam reformer, a modest excess of catalyst was utilized over that required for sulfur-free fuel in anticipation of possible catalyst deactivation even at 500 ppbw S. With that modification, the steam reformer maintained target performance over the course of 300 hours. For HDS of road diesel, the PNNL team achieved 0.8 ppmw S, starting with 4 ppmw in the fuel. The team believes that with implementation of improved catalysts, less than 0.5 ppmw S is achievable.
The production of clean hydrogen or syngas for portable fuel cell systems operating on JP-8 fuel is possible when employing an integrated HDS/steam reformer system. Extension to non-military applications, including road diesel fuel, also appears possible. This provides a large step forward in enabling fuel cells to operate with a range of heavy hydrocarbon fuels.—King et al.

So here you have it. The oil company answer to the transportation problem: starting out with oil, you refine it into diesel, then reformed the diesel into hydrogen run the fuel cell to produce electricity and then use the electrons to drive an electric motor. It takes a lot of energy to produce these electrons.
Why not install a battery, charge it on the grid and drive away...uses a lot less energy to produce the electrons.
Two problems Lad, batteries take 8 hours to recharge and don't have the capacity to provide a 300 mile range unless one is willing to pay an arm and a leg.
Then there is the other minor problem of durability.
The fuel reformer described isn't designed for transportation rather it's to be used for stationary applications for the military.
A steam reformer can transform any kind of liquid (bio)fuel or (bio)methane to H2. Combine this with a fuel cell and you have the perfect range extender. The ultimate steam reformer could even be like a 'back-to-the-future-like' trashcan where you introduce some organic waste, that is then reformed to H2 (although without subsequent nuclear fusion). driving on bananas might be a little bit to far, but wood pellets or compressed switchgrass might do the job soon.
Though cheap, high-capacity, durable, ecofriendly batterypacks would also be fantastic, there is certainly a big future for these micro-reformers.

Story by Julie Ha.
In an episode authorities described as "every parent's worst nightmare"—and now, also a hate crime—a 4-year-old Asian girl was attacked by a tire-iron wielding woman at a San Jose Wal-Mart earlier this week.
The girl and her father were shopping at a Wal-Mart in the Little Saigon district of East San Jose on Tuesday morning, when Maria Garate walked up to the girl and struck her on the head with a tire iron, authorities said. The girl's father then tried to cover his daughter with his body and was also struck with the tire iron. On-site security personnel detained the woman until police arrived and arrested her.
On Thursday Garate, a San Jose woman described by authorities as a transient, was in court facing attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon charges, as well as hate crime enhancements. She faces up to life in prison if convicted.
"Based on evidence we do have, the victims were targeted because they are Asian," said Santa Clara Deputy District Attorney Kalila Spain [1]. "This is a premeditated, willful and deliberate act on her part."
Spain said that the injured girl was taken to the hospital after the incident, but is now recovering at home.
The San Jose Mercury News [1]reported that one source told the newspaper that Garate had expressed disappointment to authorities that she had not injured the girl more seriously.
Garate is being held without bail at Santa Clara County jail. Her next court date is May 23.

Alleged robber waives right to hearing
A Sinking Spring man charged with robbing another man in Pottsville on March 31 waived his right to a preliminary hearing Friday.
Shayne Calloway, 19, appeared before Magisterial District Judge James K. Reiley, Pottsville, on charges of robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, criminal mischief and carrying a firearm without a license.
Represented by the public defender's office, Calloway chose not to have a preliminary hearing and instead answer all of the charges in Schuylkill County Court.
Pottsville police Patrolman Brian Reno charged Calloway for an incident that occurred about 11:30 p.m. in the area of West Race and Downing streets. Reno said James Dietrich, Pottsville, reported being robbed of his cellphone and house keys by two men who had a gun and knife.
Dietrich gave a description of the men and officers learned from a neighbor that a man, later identified as Calloway, entered an apartment building at 127 N. Centre St.
Reno said the victim positively identified Calloway as the man who pointed a gun in his face during the robbery. He said officers recovered a .38 caliber revolver that Calloway hid in the apartment and they found Deitrich's cellphone that had been discarded across the street from the North Centre Street apartment.
When taken into custody and interviewed, police said Calloway admitted he had used the handgun to rob the 19-year-old man.
Following the hearing, Calloway was returned to Schuylkill County Prison, where he is being held on $100,000 straight cash bail set by Magisterial District Judge Anthony J. Kilker, Shenandoah, at the time of his arraignment.

Congrats! Keep us posted on which tag you pull!
When I get on the Utah DWR website and look at the My Application History tab it doesn't show 2013 on there. I thought it would say pending or something so I called the DWR and the lady I talked to said it doesn't show up until the draw is over. What does it look like when you guys get on yours? I am worried that my application didn't go through.
Always keep a PDF (or paper) copy of your receipt when you apply on-line in case you have to dispute that you actually applied. That receipts has a session number and a confirmation number on it and the detail of what you applied for.
alot of times they charge the credit card and if you are not succesful, credit the card back.
medtech10 get on Utah's site and check your PP status, see if there are any changes in your points.
good to know, i apply in so many states, i get the states confused on wich ones charge up front and which ones charge when pulled.

2" SCT Visual back adapter for the CPC1100
Posted 28 June 2013 - 07:31 AM
inexpensive one? the televue acs0004 doesn't
seem to have the 'lip' as with the celestron 1/1/4 incher
I'm trying to mount a 2" denkmeier power switch
onto the back of a CPC1100... I guess I'll also need a
2" to 1.25" adapter for the WO binos.? any help with the above
would be grand, all considering I'm in the UK.
also a quick question, how do you 'balance' a CPC?
Do you slacken the fork wheel knut and simply balance?
many thanks Cloudy's !
Posted 28 June 2013 - 12:41 PM
How to balance is as you typed. Loosen the altitude clutch and point the scope straight up. Add/move weights as needed so it doesn't tip down, then move horizontal and add/move weights so it stays level. I have mine just slightly back heavy in the horizontal with a large 2" eyepiece in the diagonal.
Directions can be found here.
I got a 2" adapter for my Power x Switch diagonal when I ordered it, and the Power x Switch diagonal should have a 2" to 1-1/4" adapter with it.
Posted 30 June 2013 - 01:15 AM
that is a very helpful reply
I'll get balancing that baby !
another quick question :- once you have the power switch
is it easy to add a filter switch ?
many thanks
Posted 30 June 2013 - 03:55 AM
As for the balancing issue, I have an ADM lower counterweight kit for my CPC 1100 and it works great. Anthony's products are high quality.
Posted 30 June 2013 - 09:37 PM
Enjoy it, they are fantastic!
Jeffrey G.
Posted 02 July 2013 - 07:24 AM
I bought the item at a reduced price but it was advertised as having a DC
However there is no 2" adapter or 2" to 1.25 adapter.
I will email Russ at Denk and find out the right adapters.
Hopefully the seller with send me the DC.
Posted 02 July 2013 - 02:05 PM
Couple thoughts i'd mention, but Russ can certainly get you sorted out with it.
Mainly one of the parts that might help you is the SCT shorty adapter, it threads onto the diagonal body in place of the slip in barrel and then screws onto the SCT back. Ask Russ about using his SCT shorty adapter, he'll know exactly what your referring to. It keeps everything nice and tight, and shortens the light path a bit. You'll also have the barrel if you want to use it on another scope.
The Dovetail Connector is made to mount on a Denkmeier Binoviewer and most likely will not thread match with the W.O. Unit, but if it should have been included, you should have received it for sure, I'd contact the used seller, if you can't use it, you can make a few BPS to use towards your other parts.
What version / model Power x Switch Diagonal did you get exactly?
I have the R2 Dual Power x Switch, it's my most used piece of kit.
Jeffrey G.
Posted 02 July 2013 - 03:35 PM
Thanks for your response and advice. The denk is an R1.
The seller did say a dovetail connector would come with it
Should it have also come with a 2" to 1.25" adapter as standard?
the seller is 'Hands on Optics' just north of washington and they said in the eBay that it was 'new old stock'. The denk is fine just abit miffed
There isn't an adapter and a dc. I've contacted Russ and he replied with
the three/parts I'd need.He also asked me to tell him the length of the diag scope side 2" tube.... will any SCT visual adapter work with the denk? or only the denk v.a? Ive wanted a PowerSwitch for a while - there are only two lenses in them right? A and B? is it possible to add a filter switch later?
will the R1 work with a CPC1100? Thanks Jeff for your help...
Posted 03 July 2013 - 10:23 AM
The Power x Switch Diagonal, the Special Low Power S Cell, the Dovetail Connector, the Removable 2" Eyepiece Holder, the 2" to 1.25" Eyepiece Adapter, and Plastic caps/plugs.
Since you purchased it in an online auction, I think you need to read the auctions description very carefully for it's wording of what the item should come with, and if it had pictures they should be checked carefully, as well.
However, if it is missing anything from that description, I would contact the seller & work it out.
Yes, there are 2 lenses in the Power x Switch, and yes, a Filter x Switch can be added, Ask Russ about it, I know at one time he offered a kit that let you could add on the Filter x Switch yourself.
I have a separate Filter x Switch but that works for me because I have a bunch of different scopes, 2 Denk Binoviewers, and an adapter that lets the Filter x Switch be attached directly to a DSLR camera for astrophotography.
Keep following up with Russ until you are sure about what you need, I would also advise you to download & read the Power x Switch Diagonals user Manual from the Denkmeier Website. You can find it under Manuals on the left hand site menu.
As far as the R1 working on a CPC1100, I can't really answer that, but I hope so since that is what your trying to do.
My best advice at this point is to ask these questions of use to Russ, or maybe someone else who has the same unit can post if they've used it that way successfully and how.
Best of Luck,
Jeffrey G.
Posted 03 July 2013 - 07:28 PM
/- I thought he meant the outside ... I think I know what he means now,
probably... well i hope the seller replies and that Russ can sort it out,
I'll need to buy the SCT visual back, or shorty, and the 2" to 1.25 " adapter...
many thanks again
Posted 03 July 2013 - 09:17 PM
Posted 09 July 2013 - 09:24 AM
I have purchased a few things from Hands On Optics without any problems, hopefully you'll get a response.
Let us know how it all works out for you.
Good Luck,
Jeffrey G.
PS, I have a 2 to 1.25 adapter I'd send you but I think it would be cost prohibitive?
Posted 09 July 2013 - 04:09 PM
and refunded me the money for the dovetail
Connector , so I'm happy with the purchase
Im still awaiting Russ's reply from Denkmeier
to hopefully send me the missing parts !
Posted 10 July 2013 - 08:27 PM
That's Great! I'm glad you didn't have any hastle, Hopefully you'll get straightened out soon.
What parts did you end up needing?
Clear Skies,
Jeffrey G.
Posted 14 July 2013 - 06:08 PM
adapter Jeff, many thanks to Russ at Denkmeier
for his quick and helpful responses...

I figured I'd give Calan Stonebridge a bit of a break for a moment (as he's currently locked in a dark hold in a ship being rocked by a violent storm.. ) and get back to work on my Kingdom of Shendenflar campaign setting. I've been reworking a lot of old maps of the kingdom over the last 2 years as I learn new techniques. I don't mind that most of the maps are different styles I really just want them to be at least consisent as far as quality goes. It's funny how for years and years I hand drew every map in that kingdom. Cities, towns, the entire kingdom hand drawn on varying sizes of plain paper. They weren't particularly good had drawings but they served their purpose. Now that I am really trying to get Shendenflar together for a possible pdf. I want to create the best maps for it that I can. I decided to make a map of the Town of Southrun. Southrun is a small town (population approx 200) along the banks of the Fler river. It's main function is to serve as a staging area for caravans going north and south. It is also (like most towns and villages along the river) a fishing town. It is a resupply point for the Wolves Fall Castle which is 40 miles East of the town as well. There is also a ferry from the capital city of Riverhewn which sits across the river from Southrun. As you can see there is quite a lot going on in this little town.
All this brings me to the map. Southrun deserves a good map. I discovered Larb's excellent tutorial and have adapted it so I can follow it in GIMP. I have gotten all my roads and buildings laid out and also the river. This tutorial is so easy to follow I found myself actually enjoying drawing all the little lines on all the roofs. Next up will be trees hand drawn with a mouse. This should be interesting. As always feedback is requested and appreciated.
