More pictures
Here are some more pictures from New Hagen Here we are in the old part of the city, here we find the university of New Hagen. Now we are in the very center of the city, the police HQ and the firedepartment are located here. The SkyTower gives an incredible view above the city. We are now on the little island called: Sandy Island (because of the high ammount of sand on the island before the city was build) next to the main city. Here we have the "Novotel Hotel" next to the "freedom park". Lets see what the city looks like in the night. "White Diamond Tower" (aka: The Diamond) looks amazing in the night. (No, it's not Crysler Building this isn't New York) "Hagen tower", located on Sandy Island, lights up the nightsky. The ChinaTown looks good with it's many ligts. The marina is a romantic and peaceful place in the night. From the marine there's a good view to Sandy Island. Thats all for now feel free to comment - 4

The Start of Misery
Most people wonder why this war has even began… It has brought all but destruction and the suffering of mankind. Pre-Blitz. The grand nation of Aeracus was so beautiful and prosperous before the war started. Grand cities and monuments were erected and colonies were founded. Cities like Londeaux and Accentus were once so grand and beautiful... They connected entire cultures and countries. In other news, the old Emperor of Henden, Kaiser Afteq, has returned. It seems, that the man had a doppelganger. A map showing the nation in all her glory. Phase 1. It has happened... The war had been declared several weeks ago. At first, the army of Aeracus could fend off the vast armies of Henden. Later, all resistance seemed futile and the remaining soldiers fled to the coast where they were shipped off. Kaiser Afteq’s new tactical plans have proven to be extremely efficient. He has named it ‘The Blitzkrieg’ with the intention of swiftly conquering the neighbouring countries. As his men marched northwards, across several neutral countries, he eventually entered Barencia. Many people have already died, especially civilians. A Barencian farmer had revolted against the passing tanks, that were ruining his field. Several minutes later he and his family were executed and the farm was put alight. A map of Aeracus depicting the devastating path of the Henden armies. Several neutral countries have already been annexed. Phase 2. Barencia has capitulated and the armies of the Henden Reich are pulling deeper into Aeracus. Accentus was destroyed by a bomb and left the city devastated. The battle of Londeaux and Havrei are being fought. Things aren’t looking good, I’m afraid. The two southern island of Aeracus have been turned in to a warzone. All who could have already fled to the Island to seek refuge. The Henden Reich will show no mercy... A photograph taken from the back of a fleeing ship. The city of Havrei is under severe attack. Those who can, are fleeing to the harbour. The armies have pulled into Aeracus, as can be seen on the map. Enormous battles across the countries. Near and in cities, like Aeratrix, Vorsos, Basthos and Havrei. How much more must we endure? Phase 3. Hope fades as the armies of Henden pull even further into the country. Countless cities have fallen to the power of the Henden Reich. Auges has been completely destroyed and Havrei has surrendered. The Henden Reich is truly remorseless. A new tactical plan has been put in to action, we can do all but hope that it succeeds. Londeaux is under attack by both ground and air forces. Londeaux as seen from the street as thousands of bombers attack the city. People flocking to their homes or other locations for safety. This may mean the end for Londeaux... The Henden Reich is making progress in the northern part of the country. Meanwhile, forces are fighting in Basthos to secure the durability of the city. Resistance seems not futile, but not without effort. Signed, Aelencia, Queen of Aeracus. - 5

Escape from Odessa
After the crash, all Willy could do was wander... empty streets... Empty factories... Empty docks...wait a second... thats the USS H20! Willy is greeted to a sailor mentioning that this the final Odessa Evac and taken aboard the extra storage compartments. No reports of enemy attacks recently on the river...but you can never be too careful... At the sub pen Willy manages to slip away from the crew. He has about $2.25 in his pocket. Enough for a bus fare... The bus dumps him off at the Financial District. "Sleep. Need time to think." mumbles a broken man. A broken man known as Willy. "Need...sleep...can't...keep...walking..." " I see something...in the skyline...hotel...yes..yes!"
As he enters the lobby he realizes he has absolutely nothing in cash. He pull out his debit card, mumbling, "Please, put me in whatever room I can afford." Going up to his room, he realizes he has a key to the penthouse. Thanks for viewing! Please rate and comment! And I will be providing an overview of Odessa at some point.

Deer Park: Part 2
Deer Park As we continue our travels through Deer Park, we head over across U-2 into the eastern part of the city. At this point the city limits of Deer Park and Cresent City get very blurred. Primarily this section of the city has the art district along with Deer Park College of the Arts, the capital district with the capital tower, high rise (pencil towers) residential facilities), and finally the sports district on the far south side of the city. Major highways include: U-2: Runs north to south through the west edge of the business sector U-3: Intersects with U-2 next to the capital tower. U-103: Brief starting point that'll cuts through part of Cresent city before going back into U-3 VV42: Artery highway running from U-3 south into Oslo's Ending VV34: Crosses the southside of Deer Park ending at VV42 Shoreline Blvd: Arcs around the northeast section of the city, browsing past Deer Park Riverunners, the Deer Park Pro team location, the Viktorian Commons, a housing sector of the city, and eventually into the art district before ending at U-3. Downtown Deer Park Viktorian Commons Deer Park Art District Zoom out on the southeastern side of Deer Park along VV42and VV34 VV42/U-3 Intersection along with one of several small urban parks throughout the city The massive Capital Tower Night shot of the southern sport sector of Deer Park -Jet- - 18

Dreams of a Wetter Future
Thanks for coming, guys. Welcome to what no doubt will be the first of many Meetings Where We Discuss Things People Are Bitching About. Glad I could be here. I just want to thank my family for always believing in me, and... and... That's great, Mash. Have another donut. Null, I believe you have the first whiny item? That I do. I think you're all thinking what I'm thinking. Certainly. We must carefully regulate the nudity before I can approve it. Schools are expensive. We can add some later, but right now that's a tough sell. Come on, these people are cattle. They slave away in the metal plants all day and then moo their way home and go to bed. Metal plant, bed, metal plant, bed. Like they'd have time to go to school even if we built one. He's crass, but he has a point. One day we'll need educated masses, but today we just need slave labor. Then it's tabled. Moving right along to item number two. I'm almost positive this is even less important than the school thing. I haven't noticed that at all, actually. All of my staff is taller than I am. Not to be a broken record, but I don't see how the hell you can operate a clinic without running water. Oh, yes. That reminds me. About that water system, Null? You deaf? I already said it's coming. If you want to take over the project, be my guest. All I want is a when, man. When? I'd say hopefully before everyone currently in the city is dead. You know, what with the short lifespans and no hospitals and the everpresent threat of the Black Death killing us all. So, sometime in the next two or three years, then? Sure, why not? But we might not last that long before some schmuck drops a match on his living room floor and burns the whole city to the ground. Naw man, all we'd have to do is get some buckets and fill them up in the kitchen sink, then... oh... right. No water. I do feel like I have to raise the question of what the hell a fire station's supposed to do when there's no water. They can still get cats out of trees and the like. There aren't any trees here to block anyone's view of the black sludge the metal plants are spewing. This is the first time I've heard you complain about that. Or anything environmental. Yeah, well, I've been busy. Look Null, get that water hooked up and then I'll approve the fire station. Jesus Christ fine, I'll hook up your God-forsaken water. Babies. It took another six months, but lo and behold, a miracle--Null's semi-competent engineering corps located some water! A water tower was placed at the site, at the northwestern corner of the residential part of town... And water pipes were run to cover the entire town. Well, except for the coal plant. Nully said something about it would be better if we didn't pee black water, and I took his word for it. It took about three hours to lay the water pipes under the whole town. I tried not to think about this too much. Those headaches can be monsters. And then the First Pigiron Sludge Bay Fire Company's glistening new headquarters was built on the corner of Third Street and Whale Carcass Avenue. Now if only somebody would set something on fire, maybe my investment could be justified. This done, we sat back and watched, and were pleased to see a wave of new development. Granting, it was new slums and new muck plants being built on the ruins of the old ones, but it was something. The people wanted more. And more we would give them. Willy and Null put together the Brown Dreams Industrial Park, which would be connected to the rest of town by Whale Carcass Avenue (which Mash named after one washed ashore on the Bay last year), which seemed destined to become a major artery in Pigiron Sludge Bay... Some of the property nearest to the industrial muck pit was rezoned to allow the construction of apartment buildings, and two were built straight away... We expanded the residential area southeast of Awesome Estates, hoping it would draw some slightly classier residents. After all, someone had to be managing the factories, right? Well, it drew the same grimy kind of peasants that lived everywhere else in town. But perhaps that could be remedied later. And then there was the big project... The Greg Norman Bridge, which of course Mash named and which would span the river. On the other side... A new neighborhood was laid out, and the houses were built in about three weeks. Apparently things get done a lot faster when you use slave labor. There was still some space on the east side of the river, but we wanted to save that for further industrial development, and stretch things out toward the bay a little. In late March I had just returned from surveying some land for a potential tennis court when I found a petition, signed by 500 of our 3,000 residents, waiting on my desk: You seen this? Yeah. So? Maybe we should plant some trees. Okay, I'll plant some damn trees. I have a good idea for that, actually. Check back tomorrow. So I checked back the next day, and... See? A couple years for those babies to grow, and we won't have to look at those slums anymore. It's win-win! He might have had a point. I might be able to lay off a couple of my dozen machine gun-toting guards and make back the cost of the trees right there. Time would tell.- Read More

A New Beginning?
[Edit 2/2/11 3:00PM: pictures reduced from 800pixels wide to 600. Hopefully I'm in the clear now? First CJ here - my apologies.]
-------------------
The despotic ruler of the Reach Province has mysteriously vanished. After 20 years, the dictator architect's master plan has not been fully realized. Will the new leadership continue following the efficient but soul-less plan, or is it a new beginning for the region? Vast swaths of unsightly undeveloped land exist - what will take their place? What do the denizens desire?
The Communist regional plan provides provides the same basic services for all citizens: fire protection, and elementary and secondary schooling. After 20 years of development for each city-state, few gaps in coverage remain, and will soon be addressed.
A number of agriculture based states support the two major population centers of Reach, the neighboring Raleigh and Buffalo. Under rule of the former despot, each city-state observed strict boundaries, the only connections being roads reserved for official government business. Under the current interim government, Raleigh and Buffalo have opened their borders and begun to trade ideas, evident in the bleed-over of opposing city plans. The grid-based Raleigh, at 33 years old, has a population of about 110,000. Residents have generally been pleased with the "honeycomb" module that has migrated within the city borders from neighboring Buffalo. Buffalo is a city-state with a population of about 80,000, and like the rest of the Reach Province, has been in existence for about 20 years. There have been grumblings of discontent from residents, regarding the recent "intrusion" of Raleigh's grid-based plan.
To the East of Zdeno, the flag-shaped city-state, the first "free-form" city has begun to develop. Remaining stalwarts of the previous regime remain in the media, thus pictures and reports of this city and its new philosophies remain unavailable. While the state-run media denies its very existence, there are some who say this new "organic" city is quickly building a respectable economy. Detractors decry its lack of any master plan, and describe it as "a mess."
What do the citizens of Reach really want? Do the carefully planned modules continue to spread across the landscape, creating a safe but boring place to live, or does the "organic" experiment continue, and possibly become an ugly shapeless splotch marring the otherwise rigid beauty of the Reach Province? -

Rebuilding Peotav Bay, part 1
Peotav Bay was a sad, sad city. Isolated, underpopulated, poor, and polluted, the City was in major need of a rebirth. Under the new government of the Syldav Union based out of Taraville, Peotav bay would finally get the help it so clearly needed. For full, super vivid resolution on all pics: Right click image + "View image." Here is downtown Peotav Bay, just as the reconstruction began. There were several major goals of the redevelopment: Rebuild the civic core (City Hall, Federal Building, Emergency Response, main Library, etc) Strengthen public transit, including a new light rail system. Provide higher-density housing and commercial paced Dramatically lower pollution and blight. Downtown Peotav Bay at the midpoint through redevelopment. The train station was converted from a cargo-heavy facility to a passenger station, though service was dependent upon Peotav City building a rail station as well. The new City Hall (yellow building with tall tower) was designed, as all new buildings, by local architects. to the right is the new farmer's market. Below City Hall is the new Main Library. To the south, we see the new combined HQ for the Fire and Police departments. To the right is the main campus of the new city College, the first public higher education campus in Peotav City. To the right of these new buildings is the keystone: the new Federal building. In fact, only half of the building is for the Federal government, with the other half being leased to private commercial enterprise to raise revenue for the expanded public sector. Next: enviormental improvements! - 32

Johannesgrad
Located in southwestern Valvania, Johannesgrad is the country's second largest city. For some time Johannesgrad served as the nation's capital after the Ottoman invasion and due to the fact that no war or conflict has ever reached Johannesgrad the city has numerous examples of centuries old architecture and is reknowned for its canal system. During the communist-era Johannesgrad served as the unofficial secondary capital city of Valvania and although the majority of the government offices were located in Valenna, places such as the People's Palace (the headquarters for the defense and other smaller ministries) and the National Court were located in Johannesgrad. Today, the city is the most popular tourist city in the country and thousands flock annually to see Johannesgrad's beautiful architecture and more laid back lifestyle. People's Palace. The building's huge size can be seen when compared to the Central Station in front of it.Today, the building houses additional government administration offices and is still the headquarters for the Ministry of Defese. However, the left wing of the building has been converted into a museum. This communist era office building once served as the headquarters for the former Vladya Automotive company. However, when the company went bankrupt the building was converted into a hotel. These houses are just an example of the beautiful architecture that can be seen throughout the city. These two buildings known were originally both used for the National Court of Valvania however, when the communist-era ended the majority of the government offices and national organizations were moved to Valenna. Today, the building on the right is the Johannesgrad Art Gallery and the one on the left now serves as a convention centre. Even Johannesgrad wasn't able to escape the pop up of pre-fab apartment blocks during the communist era. One can see the contrast with the centuries old houses and buildings around them. Freedom Park The Academy of Sciences. The Church of St.Nikolas The Indepence Monument Johannesgrad Concert Hall is one of the greenest and most environmentally friendly buildings in Eastern Europe - 3

Light Rail Improvements in Klov
Klov's light rail system is on of the oldest in the Syldav Union. Through the 2000's, the city sought to improve its systems. One of the biggest problem areas was service to Federal Fields, the city's sports complex. The Blue Line would take passengers from downtown. There were several problems with this alignment. Trains emerging from the tunnel (right of ballpark) had to navigate multiple curves, slowing the trains. Trains had to fight with game-day traffic to get through. Service to the ballpark was indirect. Drives using parking facilities had to navigate small streets. It was decided to extend the river-crossing subway into a new hub, build an underground parking facility, and allow trains to emerge further to the west. The finished project. The ultra-modern station, next to the tennis courts. Drivers using either of the two near-by bridges can directly access the parking lots, built under the tennis courts and community baseball fields. The project also tried to leverage the investment by building up the area's commercial offerings. Also, the now defunct subway portal was kept as a historical landmark. The new portal, west of the Federal Fields Station. From 1976, Klov had used these single-car trams. Efficient and comfortable, they were very popular with riders. However, they could not connect to make longer trains. Also, these cars were aging and becoming hard to keep in service because of breakdowns. The RSR2 was chosen as the new light rail train for Klov. Based on the RSR1, built in Shozhod, kept the red coloring of the older trams. The selection was partly based on the continued efforts to revive the economy in former-Bordav, as well as foster ties between regions which were formerly at war. More updates from Klov are coming very soon! - 24

Chapter 1- Introduction
Initially a small fishing community. Agriculure was next. Time passed and three separate communities emerged. Our growth was sudden and rapid and quickly out grew our current energy capacities. It was imperative that we find a solution immediately. Since our primary industry is produce it was only natural to export. There is no connection to the north. The Federal Government will not even connect us to Broxlingburg so we might as well forget about that. Luckily for us we share the Bay of Peart with Canasim Nation. The Bay opens into the Alexson Ocean which, ultimately, we expect to use for International trade with Europa. Bonds were issued. Agreements were struck. Mortgages were tilted. The Pier was built. Grant requisitions were sent to the Capitol building in Cygnus, our nation’s capital for funding of a coal power plant. Accountants scribbled, attorney wailed, and the citizen watched in wonderment. Licenses were issued, regulations implemented, and bureaucracy was bureaucrasized. The City Council passed a resolution 6-0 that a new electric cooperative should be maintained--and run by the City Council of Red Sector A, of course. The demand for coal went through the roof. Red Sector A began to run a trade deficit with Canasim. Produce was not going to pay for the coal. Those 30-yr municipal bonds suddenly began to look risky. But it was a necessary risk. Energy is priority number#1. -

The founder of the city, Mr. Spoclety would never have thought of what his small place would look like today. He could never have dreamt of the achievements his tiny hamlet has done. To show how much the city has expanded, here is a colour-coded map of the history of the territory the city has occupied. (KEY: BLACK LINES ARE DUAL-CARRIGEWAYS/MAIN A-ROADS RED LINES ARE MOTORWAYS) N.B. In the central cream section the Year is 40, and in the north-east green sector is Year 20 Here is a map of the current city districts and district areas. As you can see the biggest district is Eloiseville (green shades), and the largest area is East Ridgetown (dark purple) And finally, this map is of the constituencies the city holds.

District of Sarah - Today shall be a smoggy day
District of Sarah The District of Sarah or Royal Harbor District is a 102'210 inhabitants district, bordered northwards by Rathlin City and westwards by farmlands and the Rural District of Quon. It is an industrial-typed area, and in fact, the place with the most factories and businesses. Typically it is polluted and smog covers much of the city, though luckily, north winds push the gases away. Sarah was founded in 1854 as part of the industrial expansion of Rathlin, and since the very beginning was centered around the much older Irish Sarah Harbor. A grid plan was devised in 1862. It has almost always been totally industrial, yet in 1952 with Millionnaire Programmes, the construction of tenements in Preston Ward led to a demographic boom. Tarnsburg was built in 1875 around Tarns' Fort, an Irish fort from around 1690. The cities developed symbiotically ever since then. The District is led by Worker's Party activist Brandon Schmertz. Alan Goodfields (PDO) leads Tarnsburg, while PDO politician Anna Dramer leads Sarah. Demographics and Economy Sarah and Tarnsburg are overally poor-dwelt cities, given the quality of life there; in Sarah, more than half the overall households are below the poverty level. For monoparental families this rises to 65%. Tarnsburg is somewhat better, with respectively 20% and 32% as of 2006. The overall population was 102'210 (Sarah : 85'540 [?40'733, ?44'807]; Tarnsburg : 16'670 [?7'247, ?9'423]. Crime is significantly on the rise since 2005, and Sarah boosts the highest number of violent muggings, car theft, and murders : in 2009, 1240, 1458, and 210 respectively. Overally crime has therefore risen 140% since the rates seen until 2005. The economy of both cities is focused around the four piers making the Harbor. Most industries here directly export through the port. Sarah and Tarnsburg do not have a high GDP, but they stand out enough to be the main exporters in the island. Neighborhoods Preston Ward, in Sarah. Not the prettiest place to live, that's for sure. Towards the Harbor - a view of the southern area of Sarah. Development is still ongoing. Sarah Harbor Station, the city's main hub. Three water clearing stations were needed to purify the water supply of a whole city. North, the Southern Interstate braches off in what could very easily be the only green haven in the city. Northern Ward, with some oil raffineries. Tarnsburg Central - middle rise buildings from the 1940s are mixed with high-rise buildings. The city's road system is still far from efficient. A typical industrial block. This is perhaps the city's only true high-rise building, right by the District Seat (which should be in Sarah). Transportation Transportation is assured through bus, subway, and S-Bahn services. Buses link the cities together, and connect to the major railroad stations. Two branches of line U61 serve the city of Sarah, mainly the areas around Preston and the Harbor. On the other side, lines S5 and S51 also link both Sarah and Tarnsburg to Rathlin and Hajira. The Southern Highway crosses Sarah and Tarnsburg, heading for Quon, with four exits in the whole district, and a branch spurring off to serve the harbor. -

The Loopy Commuter + Teaser Shot
Replies: Samerton: Cheers! TekindusT: No problem, I will do that for future updates. Except I forgot with this one... Samness7: I do like my trees. heitomat: Oh you'll see it. Maybe... I thought this shot was so funny i had to share it. The commuter leaves his house on Appalachia Ave (C258), turns right onto the Maple Fwy (A45), exits onto Bearville Rd, re-enters the freeway and continues onto Maple St (C45) and turns down Station St to their work. Covers unnecessary roads. After concerns for his mental wellbeing, the company ordered a psychiatric assessment, and has now been given 2 weeks of to recover from the work stress that caused him to poorly map his daily route. But this is also a teaser shot of a new area! I will show the area in better detail next update. Hope you enjoyed! -ROFLyoshi - 9

General data for Nyeland and its capital Verdensby
Historical certainties It is said that Nyeland was created at the year 0. At least that’s what everybody believes. That’s around 350 years from the present day. Verdensby is the central region of Nyeland, or else, as the rest of the world understands it, the capital city. As the first grade geography book says: Despite some rarely expressed uncertainty about Nyeland’s whereabouts, it is widely believed that it is located somewhere between Norway and Denmark. No Nyelander has ever been to either, nevertheless, these are our neighbours, without any doubt. Nyelanders’ consider their country as a place to celebrate social peace, ecological living and sustainability. Verdensby is the central region of the country, or else the capital city. With a population of 420,000 ( year 285 ), it is expanding around the Dyphavet fjord , consisting of several peripheries. Data Table Name Nyeland Capital ( and largest city) Verdensby Official language English Ethnic groups Mixed Government Federal State Corporatism / Demarchy Legislature Vedtak Huse ( Decision office ) Modern Statehood March 25th 0: Union of Nyeland announced March 1st 32: Sjø unison ( Unison of the Sea ) announced Area 16 square somethings Population 525,000 Currency Mynten ( μ ) Drives on the Right ISO 3166 code ND Internet TLD .nd Calling code +422 Language of Nyeland Nyelanders’ say they don’t speak any specific language. In reality, nearly all speak English. “At least the menus, around the buttons” as everybody says, without really knowing what that means. They just laugh a bit after that and chuckle some more. Then they have a beer at the local pub, spending some of their hard earnt Myntens, without thinking more about it. Astonishingly, for no profound reason, they understand Norwegian, while around 5% of the population know Ancient Greek, 2% Runic, while some people claim to be able to speak the “language of the llama”. Taxation at Nyeland Taxes do exist in Nyeland, in a balanced manner. Everybody is taxed under a certain rate. Many people say that in old times, "before these Rocks were formed", an annual ceremony called “Weakness Pays”, was taking place on the Summer Solstice day. Magically money appeared from the sky, into the city treasuries. Nyelanders’ and especially Verdensby residents consider this a very humiliating practice. Today, everybody is paying taxes, tolls, all money needed to keep Nyeland and Verdensby running. No cheat is allowed in Nyeland, except a national policy called "zoneria" that hides undeveloped zones from the visitor's eyes. Education Nyeland has a full educational system, from elementary schools to universities. Libraries also support education for older citizens. International relations Nyeland has no international relations. “International” is a meaningless word. Even if the libraries are full of stories for heroic kingdoms and far civilizations, which by the way scholars have tremendous appreciation for, it is a certain truth that Nyeland is floating somewhere, just like that. 16 squares in the middle of nothing. At least that’s what Nyelander’s believe. A common saying is: "Who do we need when we have our 16 nice squares?" The outer world A progressive scientific programme, called “The Floating Llama Search” is attempting to see what’s out there, beyond the 16 squares. First results are of extremely unexpected nature. Scientists at Verdensby were able to receive radio transmissions which are suspected to be of other distant civilizations. More specifically, the first radio signal that was decrypted was a letter sequence: HararSculmanatorCorsicaYan077ShutoEmpireTowerDudeWorldIlikeHot DogALotUKVercelliAmerikanerBerlinKelistmacTrivordamDamastiusCastiana IonIonIonTenements&RustTekindusTHyperboreaAverlivs Scientists, after many years of research, are sure that these may be names of other glorious civilizations and their ancestors, somewhere out there. After decrypting the message, they have announced the letter sequence is a list with each new word starting with a capital letter.So, list is: Harar by Sculmanator Corsica from Yan 077 from Shuto Empire from Tower Dude from World I from Like Hot from Dog A from Lot UK from Vercelli Amerikaner from Berlin Kelistmac from Trivordam Damastius from Castiana Ion ( 1 ) from Ion Ion ( 2 ) from Tenement & Rust Tekindus from T Hyperborea from Avrelivs Heavy criticism on this decryption has been raised by some scientists some days later. More specifically, a “Floating Llama Search” scientist, called Nick, at a not at all Nyelandic style, could be heard screaming: “How can a country's name be 'Dude'? Other scientists were heard responding: "This is it. You have to believe it. There is no way the list is wrong. It is like saying our world is not consisted by 16 nice squares with something really nice on each”. - 4

Yay! It's back! Alas, like Tamijo, I can't remember what I voted for the first time around! Thank you for providing a brief summary of the highlights; that made it easier to sort of remember things! I had fun looking at all of the neat pictures again, too. -
