I'm trying to upload a photo. Why do I keep getting an error message?
Error messages during photo uploads are almost always caused by the image being oversized. Different images taken with a camera using consistent settings can still have different file sizes because variation in the image affects file compression. Try resizing your image using a program like "Paint".

Word Of The Week
(unknown photo)
A woomera is a wooden Australian Aboriginal spear-throwing device. Similar to an atlatl, it serves as an extension of the human arm, enabling a spear to travel at a greater speed and force than possible with only the arm.
The word "woomera" comes from the Dharug language of the Eora people of the Sydney basin. The name was adopted for the town of Woomera, South Australia, founded in 1947 as the home of the Anglo-Australian Long Range Weapons Establishment, also known as the "Woomera Rocket Range" and now called RAAF Woomera Range Complex.
The woomera is 2 to 3 feet (61 to 91 cm) in length. One end is 3 inches (8 cm) wide and possessing a hollow, curved cross-section not unlike an airfoil, while the other is more pointed and has a hook. Some woomera were traditionally decorated with incised or painted designs that indicated belonging to a particular linguistic group that it may be returned to if found abandoned.
Records show that the implement began to be used about 5,000 years ago, although the Mungo Man remains from at least 43,000 years ago show severe osteoarthritis in the right elbow associated with the use of a woomera. It is still used today in some remote areas of Australia. Like spears and boomerangs, woomeras were traditionally used only by men. Some woomeras, especially those used in the central and western Australian deserts, were multi-purpose tools. Often shaped like long narrow bowls, they could be used for carrying water-soaked vegetable matter (which would not spill and could later be sucked for its moisture) as well as small food items such as little lizards or seeds. Many woomeras had a sharp stone cutting edge called a tula adze attached to the end of the handle with black gum from the triodia plant. This sharp tool had many uses, such as cutting up game or other food and wood. It is supposed that the woomera could be used as a shield for protection against spears and boomerangs. The woomera is held in one hand while the other hand places the butt of the spear on the woomera's hook; the hollow curved shape facilitates this alignment without looking. The woomera effectively lengthens the thrower's arm, greatly increasing the velocity of the spear. Correcting for the game animal's lateral dodging is accomplished by tilting the wing-shape woomera during the throw for last-second corrections. The kinetic energy of a spear launched from a woomera has been calculated as four times that of an arrow launched from a compound bow.
Different aboriginal groups had different shapes and styles of woomera. For example, the woomera of the central desert tend to be very wide and slightly bowl shaped where as those of the Kimberley are flat long and narrow.

| Up front & personal |
| Interview by: laura lee |
**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**
We would like to say
to Eriisa for letting us step into their personal life for a bit.1. What brought you to GoldToken, and how'd you choose your name for GT?
- I was playing on another site that was closing down,
and came here with others in 2003 (but left for a short time and returned in 2007) 
2. What interests you most on GT? Do you have a favorite game?
- I like the family feeling on here. My favorite game is 1,4,5 Senet
3. What state or country do you reside in? What do you think tourists should definitely see?
- I currently live in Texas, USA. I love nature so that leaves a lot to see in the US. Myself, I have seeing the Grand Canyon still on my bucket list.
4. What hobbies do you have?
- I'm an avid book reader!
I have the Amazon Kindle Unlimited account and find myself reading on my tablet a good 9 hours plus a day. I also have an Audible account so I can listen to my books while I'm doing something else. 
5. Children? Grandchildren?
- I have 4 grown children in their 40's.
And 4 grandchildren. 
6. Do you work? What kind of work do/did you do?
- I'm retired now, which gives me all those reading hours. LOL I say I am also a home careworker for my 80 year old husband.
I mostly worked in Customer Service in different areas.
7. Any pets?
- I have 2 cats. A 7yo muddled calico, and a 3yo all black no white anywhere.
8. Are you under 30?___ 30 to 50? ___ or over 50? Male or Female?
- I'm a happy 63yo female
9. What's the farthest you've been from home?
- In 2010, My hubby and I took a Caribbean cruise,
so I guess the farthest was Roatan. We visited Jamaica and Mexico too.
10. If you could be anywhere right now, where would that be?
- That is a toss up. I'd like to be in North Carolina near the kids, but I do love Texas. I miss being near the ocean.
- I grew up in Florida and was always near the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean. Then again I love the mountains too. I was born in mid-state New Hampshire and lived near a lake in the mountain. (see? water again)
11. Favorite season?
- The fall. Love the trees
changing colors and the cool crisp air.
12. Favorite movie? Favorite TV show?
- Movie: Ghost TV show,
any Star Trek series(unknown photo) 
13. If you could meet anyone (living or dead) in the world, who would it be?
- I wish everyone on GT could have a gathering so I could meet all these wonderful people that I have known for some 20 years.
If there are any questions you would like to see asked in future interviews, please let us know.

Best Club Banner
Enter GoldToken's Club Banner Contest! The winning banner will be given one full year to run! All entries will rotate with the other banners on top of player game sheets for 30 days from the day they are added to the system. The entry deadline is March 31, 2021. A site-wide poll will be posted for voting on April 1st. To enter, post a new, never before seen 800x90 or 200x200 pixel club banner on the Club Presidents DB along with the club number.
All top banners must be exactly 90 pixels high so the page does not bump up and down as each page loads.
Having trouble creating your own banners or lack a photo editing program? Try one of the free services on the net that offers free banner creation. Free banners created using these systems can be incredible and very professional. Here are a few links to sites that provide this service, however, you you might wish to find others more suited to your taste and abilities by Googling "Free Banners".
Then it is just a matter of uploading your banner to your account's Banner system. http://www.bannerfans.com/banner_maker.php <----my personal favorite http://www.123-banner.com/ http://www.addesigner.com/ http://www.puresilvabannermaker.com/ | Caption Contest |
