2+ Local Play Games Thread
December 01, 2013, 01:27:21 PM »
I've started this thread to consolidate info about games that can be played locally, or at least are great fun and optimally played locally. By local play I mean games, on any system, that can be played by multiple people on a single screen or split screen. Can be Versus or Co-op, an old game or new game, indie or AAA title. Feel free to recommend anything.
So, I've been big into local play of games, even buying a Wii U for its higher the usual number of local play games. I'm lucky enough to have a large group of gaming friends near me that are willing to try silly stuff
So here's my list of fun games:
Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator - a bit simplistic missions currently, but crazy fun role playing a starship bridge crew. Just get over the feeling of ultra nerdyness and you'll find something very special. The individual roles seem complicated, but start simple, however, to survive and thrive, you need to be able to work together, taking orders to make the ship run optimally. It's not just listening to your captain though, often times you'll be anticipating orders, and of course also frantically trying to keep up with orders from the captain as well.
Super Mario 3D World - It's a 3D Mario, the latest, and it's got cat suits. What else? Well actually, my friends and I ran through most of the game, having a blast. In comparison to previous 2D Mario updates on the Wii U, this one has drastically toned down the "screw your friends" elements. Although they're still there, because the entire game is designed with an equal level of precision, but also space for 4 players to jump around together, it all works pretty well. There's some fun mechanics that add a little co-opetition to use that catch phrase. If you get the highest score at the end of a level, you get a crown in the next level. If you finish the level with the crown, it gives you 5000 points to help you keep the crown. Now, people can try to beat you normally, but they can also pick up your crown if you get hit, or try to stomp the crown off your head. The
Nintendo Land - It's a series of mini-games, not much else to say other than that there are 3 mini-games that almost make the game and Wii U worth it. That's the Sweet Day, Mario Chase, and Ghost Mansion mini-games. These three are especially great uses of the gamepad versus 4 normal player gameplay. Sadly, the rest of the mini-games range from uninteresting and done before, or just frustrating and overly complex. I would actually buy a game that just took those 3 mini-games and expanded on them, and had other similar games.
Rayman Legends - A great platformer that's really well tuned, and works equally great with 1 player or 4 (or 5). It comes down to the excellent platforming mechanics. Great jumping feel, excellent movement and physics. A bit of action with the various attacks, but not combat focused. A vibrant 2D art style, and more. When playing co-op the characters don't bump in to each other. The only way you interact is through attacks (you can hit each other for no damage), and the usual taking of platforms and triggering stuff. But so many of the platforming elements are designed for multiple people, it all just works. Top it off with this new Kung Foot mini-game, which is basically 2D soccer between 2-4 players, really is just fun. Kids to adults can play it.
Little Big Planet 1/2/HUB - an oldie but goodie. Some might not like the floatier physics and pure physics based gameplay, but you can't beat the game for its creative aspects. For example, that aformentioned Kung Foot game for Rayman Legends I had basically played the exact thing as an LBP map previously, perhaps not with the same detail or mechanics, but it was very fun.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate - This is a love or hate game. I like to describe it as a game with low initial fun factor, but that the fun factor increases exponentially the more people you play with. It's also partially why I got a Wii U after trying it on the 3DS. At its core, you hunt monsters, then use parts harvested from those monsters to craft weapons, armor, and other useful things to hunt other more powerful monsters. Most of the things you do between the big monster hunts is preparing items and equipment for the monster hunt, although there are smaller challenges. Few things can beat the feeling of you and 3 friends going in to face off against a giant monster and coming home after a successful hunt.
Towerfall - this hit on the Ouya to a lot of much deserved praise. At its core, it's a 2D 8bit style graphics versus game where 4 players get into a map with 3 arrows, and try to kill each other. The arrows you fire have a slight bit of seeking on them if they get close to a target, and they kill in 1 hit. Moving around is a bit like old style arcade games, smoother though as a result of modern gaming. It may sound simple, but it's an excellent game that harkens back to the great old versus arcade games. You and your friends will be laughing and screaming at each other as crazy stuff starts happening during fights. Arrows collide, people can dash to catch arrows mid flight, and the special arrow types bring a bit of chaos into the fights, as well as powerups. Oh, and the new PC version coming out early next year includes a lot more, including single player challenges, and a lot more levels and modifiers to choose from for multiplayer matches.
Samurai Gunn - Can be considered a Towerfall clone because it shares a lot with the game. Instead of archers you have 4 Samurai and the default weapon is a sword slash in the 4 cardinal directions. If you connect, it's a 1 hit kill. However, if two sword slashes happen at the same time, the they clash and the two are flung apart. Each Samurai also has a gun with 3 bullets. These bullets go through enemies, and can also be deflected with a sword slash.

Yes, Resogun is online only, sadly.
It turns out they are making Nintendo Land 2, so I hope they make more games like the big 3 mini-games. My group of friends literally sat around for half a day playing the 3 mini-games I mentioned. That's a bunch of grown men passing controllers around, hunting ghosts, chasing down a greased up Mario, and eating and vomiting up candy to escape two guys with a fork and knife.

I know you have it for PC but the version of Trine 2 on the WiiU is really good for local co-op. Three player only, of course.

Marine Protected Areas Around the Globe: Looking Back, Moving Forward and Sharing Recipes
Posted On November 4, 2013 by Samantha Murray
I've recently returned from the 3rd International Marine Protected Areas Congress in Marseille, France. The experience of meeting so many different kinds of people, all equally passionate about the ocean, has inspired me. It's planted a desire to follow up and exchange marine protected area stories—and recipes—from California with those from around the world.
To that end, please join me this Wednesday, Nov. 6, from 2-3 p.m. PST for a lively and fun Twitter Party, where you can share the global MPA stories you heard at IMPAC3. Missed the Congress? No problem—we'd like to hear your thoughts about MPAs, even if you weren't there. Follow @ThePacificOcean, @OurOcean and @HealTheBay, or #MPAsWork to join the conversation (and win prizes!) this Wednesday.
Sarah Sikich (Heal the Bay) and I (Ocean Conservancy) will be leading the party, but it's largely driven by participants. Topics will include: our evolving need to understand MPAs over the last decade, Sylvia Earle's 50 Hope Spots, the value of urban MPAs, the issue of large MPAs and quantity versus quality, our shared MPA lessons from around the world and, of course, where we go from here.

Thiruvananthapuram formerly known as Trivandrum is a magical holiday destination. Blessed with rich natural Thiruvananthapuram is the capital city of Kerala and also one of the most popular destinations of the region. The rich beauty of the region also led Mahatma Gandhi to give the region its adage 'the Evergreen City of India'. Being a historic city Thiruvananthapuram is dotted with several monuments and museums, like the East Fort, the Ramanayar Palace Museum, various beaches and much more. Thiruvananthapuram can be pretty sultry during the summers and as such the best season to visit the region is during the winters. Also when you are in the city do not forget to pack on local specialties like handicrafts, paper crafts, local textiles and much more.

It offers sunloungers and good water sports facilities. Nearby, several more bays have smaller, less equipped beaches.

What a way to rock in the season!
After a day and a half of PRIMO striper fishing on the cape with an incredible group of striper hounds, I feel 110% sure that the season has officially and irrevocably arrived! (Well until November anyway) Fat and feisty schoolies were a likely bet in any decent looking channel, riffle or rip - and an occasional good fish (several reported at last years keeper length of 28") kept things interesting. I believe everybody got into fish, and I know the fishing was great even when the fish weren't biting.
I missed the gourmet food on Friday night due to work but joined the gang on a calm, spring Saturday morning. I started at dawn on the mouth of Parkers River where I started the season with a bright 15" schoolie. In the shallow angle of morning sunlight, I noticed things about the striper I had never noticed before - like the robin's egg blue on the ventral fins of these silver bright spring arrivals. I spent nearly a half hour mooching a full sized herring fly in those 10 foot deep trenches in the Parkers peat banks hoping to open the season with a jumbo bass but that went for naught and I drove to meet the gang on Bass River. Jeff Roop and Nate Smith flanked east to Herring River where they did very well - but I'll let them tell their own fish story.
As I arrived at Bass River, it was great to see rods bent for the clavers. Ken Jenkinson a claver from Australia (big time commute [img]http://22.214.171.124/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif" border="0" align="middle">)was walking toward a new spot when I encountered him on the path. He had tangled with a dozen stripers at that point - barely time for breakfast. We decided we'd walk over to Gregg Estey and Terry Weir (honorable clavemeister summa cum laude) to see if they'd care to join us for breakfast.
Nantucket sound had that warm comforting feeling to it, you know the kind that softens the sharp edges of the rocks, brightens the sand and puts that orange glow on the happy faces of anglers with fish on the line. Terry and Gregg were working poppers on a slack tide, trying to stir up some interest from a surfacing fish they spotted. Ken and I stood on the top of the rockpile looking down at the sandy shoal where the two stood casting to glass smooth water. We exchanged greetings, and just as the conversation got to "you should've seen..." a sizeable swirl and a flash swiped at Gregg's popper. Gregg gave it a slide and a pop and kaboom! A beautiful, bright ocean fresh striper pushing 26 inches or so exploded with a thooomp and a slap, screeming the line into the depths of the main channel. From the perspective Ken and I shared, it was an amazing sight. I would kill for that moment on the video camera. In any case, it was the beginning of a great time on the Bass River and it's surrounding waters while the fresh spring stripers invaded the region.
This may sound like a fish story - but in all honesty I took far less photos than usual because my hands were busy! Busy hands are happy hands they say <img src="http://126.96.36.199/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif[/img] The fish that were eager to hit my fly weren't all huge but they were all appreciated, and the larger ones hit with twice the enthusiasm as the small ones! What more could one ask for to kick off the new season.
Look for more detailed reports from clavers and a bunch of great images from moments we captured on film (coming soon!)
RE:What a way to rock in the season!
My best memory: (2nd being the Gregg Estey popper, or pope-er, event Juro described above)
After the event told above, Gregg and I went back to the cottage for intermission and lunch. Gradually many other Clavers wandered in and I got to meet John M (sorry we did'nt get to fish together), and Nate the fishing machine and Juro. Juro is a man who forgot his flies but brought his tying gear. So we decide to twist up some flies. I grab the folding card table I brought and set it up riverside in the back yard overlooking the bay. Al D. joins in and we have a little tying session. I tie what I need: Sparse Chartreuse Clousers, that's what the fish were hitting all morning.Juro ties some nice Rainbow Flash clousers.
Up to this point I have not caught a fish on one of my flies, I'm a new tyer this past winter. All morning I used one of my last few store bought flies.
We finish tying and find mostly everyones has gone back to the Bass River jetty to get into more action on the incoming tide.
I am going to take my 14' Alum boat back down to the mouth (the scenic route, through the many rips). Juro joins me. With new fly in our hands we set off down river and in no time encounter nice rips setting up on the incoming flow over skinny sand bars, channels, rocks, and holes. The sun made for awesome coloring of the shallows and depths, greens and blues. We saw a herring liveliner land an almost keeper from a nearby dock. This quickened our pace. When we would come to a nice rip we cut engine to silently drift though- running our clousers across the shelfs. If the spot was good we would start the motor, shoot back, and run it again. Juro commented that it was like fishing in Maine in the spring. Man I loved it. Soon we were picking up schoolies, fat, and bursting with energy. I pulled in my first one of the drift and was unhooking a nice 17" one when it dawned on me, hey, fist fish on one of MY FLIES!!!! I told Juro with a BIG GRIN, got a quick hand shake, then moved on. Later my Clouser slowed down and Juro gave me his only other Rainbow Clouser. Soon I was back into fish. (I've since purchased some of that rainbow stuff .
After that, more drifts and more fish just above the Rt. 28 bridge, then down to the mouth where the creek outflows produced some more fine action for the rest of the clavers. I'll cherish that drift trip as a lifelong memory. Sorry to sound so mushy, but what more could one ask? I was able to be a meister and not stand around with a clip board and cell phone the whole weekend, but rather was blessed with some of the finest memories I'll ever have. What a day.
Would love to hear others finest moments in detail.

Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
There are incredible aromatics on this Cabernet. Dusted summer blackberries and creme de cassis. Delicate fine-tuned French oak strikes a perfect balance, never overshadowing the fruit. The tannins are silky, rich and smooth, detailing the amazing singularity of the terrior of Oakville. A wine of grace and beauty. Impeccable and delicious. Dramatic and just about perfect.
Critical Acclaim
Connoisseurs' Guide - "Just a little different, and quite intriguing for it, this wine offers aromas of cherries, raspberry, vanilla and a hint of dried mint all buttressed by creamy, rich oak. It is medium-full to full in body, balanced and supple with early hints of polish and fine-grained tannins that provide structure without excess coarseness. There is a bit of depth not currently found in its flavors, but this is one where time in bottle could yield a wine that improves noticeably, and we would commend a wait of a half decade at least with the thought that even more is in store."
Turnbull Winery
In the Spring of 1993 California publisher, Patrick O'Dell, purchased Johnson Turnbull Vineyards and renamed the property Turnbull Wine Cellars. The remodeling and expansion of the facility has been completed. In addition, the wines have gone through change due to the inclusion of fruit from additional vineyards purchased by Patrick. Turnbull Wine Cellars has 145 acres of vineyards within the Oakville Viticultural Appellation representing the diverse range of microclimates and terroirs within this fabled grape-growing center of Napa Valley.

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

News Releases, Media Advisories
|For Immediate Release
July 27, 2001
|Ian Stirton
Ron Harris
Kelly Huff
WASHINGTON - The Federal Election Commission is seeking public comments on a proposed rulemaking allowing candidates for federal office to use advances on their brokerage loans and other lines of credit to finance their campaigns.
In its 1999 Legislative Recommendations, the Commission asked Congress to provide guidance on whether candidates may obtain loans from advances to their brokerage accounts, credit cards, or home equity lines of credit to finance their campaigns. Congress subsequently amended the Federal Election Campaign Act on October 23, 2000, allowing the use of such advances as well as other lines of credit available to candidates. On July 19, the FEC Commissioners voted to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to implement this new law.
Some of the proposals contained in this rulemaking are:
Complete text of the proposed rulemaking can be found on the FEC Website, www.fec.gov, from the FEC faxline, 202/501-3413, document number 251, and in the Federal Register of July 25, 2001 (FR Vol. 66, No. 173, p. 38576).
Comments are due by August 24, 2001, and should be addressed to Rosemary C. Smith, Assistant General Counsel, and must be submitted in either written or electronic form. Written comments should be sent to Federal Election Commission, 999 E Street, NW, Washington DC 20463. Faxed comments should be sent to (202)219-3923, with printed copy follow-up to ensure legibility.
Electronic mail comments should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. Commenters sending comments by electronic mail must include their full name, electronic mail address and postal service address within the text of their comments.

ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 184, Dec. 10, 1999
Report on Supercomputing SeminarsARSC hosted four seminars at UAF this week. Here are notes from two:
This talk focused on HPF and OpenMP, spending less time on MPI, as it is well-known. The speaker did mention that Co-Array Fortran is gradually expanding its toe-hold, and that vendors other than SGI/Cray, like IBM, may be implementing it. Here are more detailed notes from the HPF and OpenMP portions of the talk:
- HPF is struggling in the U.S., but in Europe, "HPF still sells machines."
- Japanese vendors are working hard on HPF for the European market.
Programmers are getting excellent results with HPF, but people should realize that:
- porting applications to HPF is hard if performance is to be good
- you must often rethink the entire application
- At the 1999 HPF User Group (HUG) meeting in LA, most participants were from Europe and Japan; the general level of satisfaction was very high; participation from the U.S. was low.
- There's a large potential market for OpenMP on small SMPs and PCs.
- User-base is growing rapidly and vendors are interested.
- The standard is fairly stable.
- OpenMP works well on small shared-memory systems.
- Watch for extensions for SMP clusters.
- It's easy to get started programming OpenMP, but hard to optimize.
The speaker cited some examples:
EPCC QMC Application
- Has an arbitrary mix of MPI and OpenMP.
- Designed for execution on clustered SMP systems.
- The code began as an MPI code for the T3D.
Preliminary conclusions:
- development time is much faster for reasonable performance
- optimization is harder
HLRS CFD Code
- A novice tester was given a time limit, and asked to parallelize this short code. Using MPI, he couldn't do it in time. Using OpenMP, he made it.
- Given ample time, he eventually got superior performance from the MPI code than he could get from the OpenMP code.
NLOM NCOM Ocean Models
- OpenMP outperforms MPI on HALO benchmark.
- Now prefer OpenMP to MPI.
- EPCC QMC Application
ZPL is complete, available for several platforms, including the T3D, T3E, SP-2, Intel Paragon, and linux, is in use by a number of researchers at several institutions worldwide.
"Advanced ZPL", or "A-Zpl", is a superset of ZPL, in the final stages of development, and to be available soon.
The language is based on two abstractions:
- the array data type (it's an "array" language)
- the CTA model of the underlying parallel architecture
Programmers think and program in terms of arrays and regions of arrays (including sparse regions, in A-Zpl). Also, they should program with the CTA model (a common network shared by von Neumann machines) in mind, as the language uses this model to make the best translation to whatever actual architecture is being used.
"WYSIWYG Performance Evaluation" is a term coined by the ZPL group. As I understood this, since the array syntax is very tidy and relates directly to the CTA abstract machine, it:
- describes data allocation,
- describes parallelism, and
- defines when communication will be generated.
The speaker gave a few examples of coding efficiency, for instance, the Parallel NAS MG benchmark takes:
- ~1000 lines in MPI,
- ~500 lines in HPF, and
- ~200 lines in A-Zpl.
NOTE: ZPL can be made available to ARSC users wishing to experiment. (See: http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/zpl/index.html for more).
"qsub -a" -- For Submitting Independent JobsAt ARSC, only one job per user per NQS queue is allowed at a time (see "news queue_policy" or http://www.arsc.edu/misc/YukonQueuePolicy.shtml for details).
This policy improves fairness but inconveniences users who would prefer to submit three jobs on Friday and spend the weekend ice fishing.
We believe that "chaining," as described in issue #176,
/arsc/support/news/t3enews/t3enews176/index.xmlis the best solution, but careful use of "qsub -a" can also work for some users. The problems with the "qsub -a" approach are that the jobs might not run in the expected order (thus, they MUST be independent) and they might wind up violating the queue policy.
Given these pit-falls, here's how it works. From "man qsub":
-a Specifies the earliest date and/or time at which NQS should run the request.Using "qsub -a", you could submit three jobs, to be queued on:
- Friday @ (right now!)
- Saturday @ 3pm
- Sunday @ 3pm
The date/time argument to "-a" takes many forms. In "man qsub," look under:
"Detailed Explanation of Options"An easy form is "<DAY-OF-WEEK>, <TIME-OF-DAY>". For instance:
-a "Saturday, 3pm"qsub lets you combine command line options with #QSUB options inside the script. Assuming three otherwise complete scripts, you can add the "-a" specification at submit time. For example:
yukon$ qsub mfd.qsub yukon$ qsub -a "Saturday, 3pm" bfd.qsub yukon$ qsub -a "Sunday, 3pm" cfm.qsubHere's what happens:
yukon$ qstat -a --------------------------------- NQS 220.127.116.11 BATCH REQUEST SUMMARY --------------------------------- IDENTIFIER NAME USER LOCATION/QUEUE PRTY REQMEM REQTIM ST ----------- ------- -------- -------------- ---- ------ ------ --- 25413.yukon mfd.qsu myname xlarge@yukon 599 32768 28800 Qge 25414.yukon bfd.qsu myname xlarge@yukon --- 32768 28800 W 25415.yukon cfm.qsu myname xlarge@yukon --- 32768 28800 WThe "ST" (status) column shows that only the first job is queued ("Q"). Thus, this isn't a queue violation. The other two jobs are in "W" state (waiting to be queued).
The time at which a "W" job is scheduled to be queued is available from "qstat -f":
yukon$ qstat -f 25414 [...cut...] Created: Fri Dec 10 1999 To be queued: Sat Dec 11 1999 14:59:14 AKST 15:00:00 AKST [...cut...]Like queued jobs, waiting jobs can be removed with "qdel":
yukon$ qdel 25414What happens next?
On Saturday at 15:00, job 25414 will be released to its queue (moved into "Q" status), and if nothing is ahead of it and PEs are available, it will start to run.
If the Friday job is either running or still queued as well, then it would be in violation of the queue policy.
The predicatability depends on system load, checkpointing, whether there was downtime, etc. Try to judge usage levels, and increase the lag between jobs during busy times.
Please limit the number of jobs in the "W" state to two.
Longer Limits on Yukon QueuesOn Dec. 8th, yukon's xlarge and xxlarge queues were expanded to permit 8 hour runs. From "news queues" on yukon:
Name of Number Maximum jobs Time limit When queue is queue of PEs per queue on queue executable ----------- --------- ------------ ---------- ---------------- grand 161 - 256 1 4 hours always xxlarge 101 - 160 2 8 hours always xlarge 51 - 100 2 8 hours always large 21 - 50 4 8 hours always medium 11 - 20 4 8 hours always small 2 - 10 4 8 hours always
Text of "Numerical Recipes" On-LineCambridge University Press has now given permission for the page images from "Numerical Recipes in Fortran 90" to be made available on the Web, along with the other Numerical Recipes books (C and Fortran 77) that were already available.
This means that anyone in the world can access the book for free (though it is hoped that they will want to buy the hardcopy, and there is still the obligation to purchase the software for more than very casual use).
The book pages can be found by starting at:
NOTE: ARSC's recommended reading list will be revamped for the next issue.

A trip to The Hyde Collection is a family-friendly experience. If the idea of visiting a historic house and art museum with children seems overwhelming, we hope the following tips will ease your mind and make for a great family outing.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Are there fun things for my children to do in Hyde House?
Absolutely. When you arrive, ask to borrow one of our "Family Kits". These kits include kid-oriented exploration tools and are filled with stimulating questions, discovery ideas, and other items to spark conversations about art. Use them any way you wish. You can spend time talking with your child while exploring, or use the kit's contents for short activities your child can do alone. Take the kits with you into Hyde House and sit on the floor or on a bench to decide how you wish to use them. We only ask that you keep track of all the items inside to ensure that our next young visitor has all the pieces needed for each adventure.
Is there anything for younger children to do at The Hyde?
Yes. Some activities in our Family Kits are appropriate for younger visitors and The Hyde also offers a Discovery Guide for use with young children. Of particular interest to even very young children is our interactive family space called The Artist's Studio on the lower level of the Education Wing of the Museum. This space encourages art-making, reading, and dress-up. On specific days there are also art programs for children and families.
Is there a place for us to have lunch or snacks?
There is not a cafe in the Museum however you can purchase coffee, tea or bottled water. The Hyde is very close to restaurants throughout Glens Falls.
What can I bring into the Museum?
Our security policy does not allow any large bags, backpacks, diaper bags, etc. into the Museum. We suggest you leave these kinds of items in your car. Once inside at the Admission Desk, our security guard will visually check any smaller bags and purses.
*We do not allow selfie sticks to be used in the Museum. This is a new policy many museums are adopting for the security and preservation of the artwork.
For the safety of the art and furniture, we restrict food, gum, and drinks from all areas except the foyer. For the same reason, large bags are also restricted to the foyer. Items such as diaper bags and back-packs can be stowed in our coat closet in the foyer area. Strollers are permitted in many areas of the Museum, but some of the rooms in historic Hyde House are smaller and can be challenging to maneuver safely with a stroller. You may also temporarily store your stroller in the coat closet. The Hyde's temporary exhibition galleries are larger and can accommodate strollers very easily.
Can I park close enough to easily manage the children and strollers?
If you have more than one young child or a child in a stroller, you may want to park facing west on Warren Street in front of The Hyde Collection complex. Parking on the street is also an option. This choice will also allow you to have the children exit the car onto the sidewalk area, away from traffic.
Are pets allowed?
Only service animals are welcome in the Museum but must wear their service identification jacket or vest.
During the hot summer months we discourage anyone from leaving a pet in a car. If on Museum grounds, please keep on a leash and clean up after your pet.

Your home is your castle. It's where life happens every day and where memories are made. It's a reflection of who you are and how you live. That's why you fill each room with the things you love to make it a place of comfort.
The furniture you choose sets the mood of the room. It should be a fine blending of style and function. In the living room or family room, the seating arrangement and furniture depends on the size and use of the room. Smaller rooms should have a closer furniture arrangement, more intimate for conversation. Perhaps a sofa and a pair of smaller chairs pulled together on an area rug will suit the room. For larger spaces, you may want to consider larger pieces, like a sectional sofa. A cozy upholstered sofa with plush cushioning and a couple of armchairs in complementary styles may be a comfortable, stylish choice. Place an end table or two next to the seat so there's space for drinks and books as well as a table lamp for extra light. Storage ottomans are versatile pieces for extra seating; plus, they hide all the clutter.
Is your home decor traditional, modern or farmhouse-inspired? We have many seating and chair options in an array of beautiful fabrics and leather to suit your style. From a variety of dining chairs, office chairs and bar stools, to a large selection of sofas and armchairs, look to Home Decorators Collection to fill your home with affordable seating for any room.

Jonathan Martin.
i took a chance on bush, hopefully ireland locks him in.
I like Bush as a player so not a bad choice. He was a bust for NO but a boon for us. I hope Bush appreciates what he has here since we saved him the indignity of being cut by NO.
He has his two best seasons of his career it would be a mistake to leave here for greener pastures. He got overpaid on his initial rookie contract so why not give us a sold deal. This will be his third contract so cut us a discount. He got well paid at USC, Well paid at New Orleanns so give something back Reggie lol
i hate the new jerseys, not designed for us morbidly obese fans, even the heavier players dont like them, they hug the belly too much
Hate the new nike jerseys. The collars look ridiculous
ether tannehill or wake. but you should wait bc you never know what will happen with this fo. plus the new jerseys and logo might be bad ass. if not i would go throw back with a zt
Jones would be a good pick or Tannehill. Bush seems to of had a good season but I'm not 100% sure he will resign. Wake is a great player also

BBS Stuff
Funky Wall
- Final Version 1.0 now released. I wanted to try and write some bbs stuff again and when I upgraded to windows NT my old graffiti wall slowed down REALLY badly. So I whipped this together. User definable colors in this release! Yea, a new cheesy freeware oneliner door for you to use! Released *** FREEWARE ***: (06/13/03).
TLM Random
- Version 1.00. This is a random bulletin viewer. I made it so that I could display one random door game score file when the user logs on the bbs. I know there's other utilities out there, but I made this one so all you have to do is edit a .cfg file. Then add a line of where the file is you want to display. It will automatically be added to its "database" :). Released *** FREEWARE ***: (06/03/03). There isn't much to the screen shot, just a random bulletin getting displayed by it, but hey, there's not much to the program either.
Power Images
- This is a WinBolo map I made. The map is based on Corporate Park in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I think the maps are interchangeable with the MAC version of Bolo, but I'm not sure. There are refill stations inside Power Images, but watch out for the Pills at the Cafe' . You will probably have to do a right-click save-as to get the file.
Pascal Stuff
- This is a PC port of a D&D game I made for the TI-85 in 1995. You can download and play this game, full version, freeware, includes source. The source is sloppy, but if you are just starting out in programming it is a fully commented tutorial in the code. Stars The Lizard Master, Pickle Goddess, Monkey Boy, And Eli the Llama.

Just found these at Target yesterday. Picked up Yularen and Mace yesterday along with a repack of the 41st Elite Clone (the one with the gatling gun), but passed on the Jawas and the rest, didn't see the ARF Trooper.
These figures have a pack-in fold-up micro-catalog with some new figures from the various lines, but nothing we haven't seen to date. The new packaging feels cheap, thinner cardboard and a very small J-hook, but at least no more taped bubbles. The bottom of the bubble is reverse-welded onto the card, the rest regular welded, so it's easy to open. Visually they are boring and blank, but they do give more attention to the figure itself - if there are accessories, it works, but without they fail miserably.
Jawas looked really boring to me, their sculpts are simplistic with very little detail, even their gun accessories are smooth. Another turn-off was the shiny plastic, it just looks too out of place on a Jawa. It was an easy pass.
Commander Gree was one I thought about picking up, but I haven't liked the removable helmet clones as much as the dedicated helmet versions, and I wanted the gun from the 41st Clone which this was supposed to come with but instead comes with a different kind of big spring-loaded launcher, so I passed.
The Super Battle Droid Heavy Assault repaints the main SBD body and changes the left forearm to a gun. I don't think the left elbow bends on this one because the missile goes through the elbow, but there could be room to pull this off. The gun looked ok but seemed a little too large for my tastes. The gray paint on the panels flanking the head really make this figure look different.
The ARF Trooper wasn't there, so I can't comment.
Now, the ones I did buy...
Admiral Yularen has this line's small standard pistol, it fits into a holster on his right side, and very cleverly the holster is removable via pin. The best part of this figure is the holo-com table, it's got a lot of detail and a great sculpt and it's a realistic height even. There's also a tiny separate holo-Obi-Wan that can stand on the table, but the table itself thankfully doesn't have a hole or peg to hold it, so it looks good without. The figure itself is very slight, and comparing to the animation the figure actually looks thinner than the animation. The sculpt is good, but the rank badge on mine has a blob of glue or plastic sticking out because it's a separate piece. The ball jointed shoulders stand out a little and look a little ugly when used. The head is decent, but the paint on the hair to make him look a little older isn't entirely convincing, more like he got highlights. There's a HUGE flaw in this figure though, the feet are non-articulated and slanted slightly back, so he cannot stand straight up, only leaning forward. This figure is very mixed, but not being able to stand means that you're really buying a cool holo-com table with an Admiral Yularen accessory.
Mace Windu has lightsaber-swinging action. That means his waist is spring-loaded like a He-Man figure. Here, the travel is fairly short, and the waist can ratchet, but only 6-points so you can only really turn him to the side at 1 angle either way (it's a good angle though, perfect for looking over his shoulder or do a 2-handed saber pose). The figure has a ball-jointed neck (kinda limited up-and-down range), ball-hinge shoulders and elbows, standard wrists and standard hips. The sculpt is pretty accurate and has the right character, I like the unusual boot design, but the costume sculpt is very simple and smooth with minimal flow, I guess he has his tunic pressed on an hourly basis. Paint is pretty good but no weathering is a bummer, and the gauntlets have the same kinda thick white paint that the other Jedi figures in this line suffer. The figure also comes with removable battle armor in the form of a helmet, upper torso armor, and shoulder armor. These pieces are a dull eggshell bordering on being beige, doesn't match the sculpted forearm armor color at all. The torso armor design is like the Obi-Wan armor, it looks good by itself. The shoulder armor is thicker and impedes arm movement, it looks very bulky. The removable helmet is really good actually, it's a nice scale and fits well (although it can sit too low if you push it all the way on), it sports the standard Mace purple design which doesn't fit with the lack of purple on the other armor. Finally, Mace has his standard saber, the handle is a little too thick and the blade too dark, but it's not a bad one and it has the full painted details. All in all, it's a good figure, but not quite great.

Table of Contents The 5 Best Portable AC Units EdgeStar AP14001HS EdgeStar AP8000W Koldfront PAC1401W Koldfront PAC801W EdgeStar AP12000S Top 10 Portable AC Units (updated…
Server Room 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner
Description & Highlights
EdgeStar Server Room 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner - Silver
Coverage Area
The AP14009COM is equipped with 14,000 BTUs of cooling power and can effectively cool a room up to 525 square feet in size. One of the most powerful portable air conditioners, it is perfect for cooling commercial and residential spaces like overheated server rooms, computer rooms, large living spaces and kitchens.
How to Install
- Step 1: Place window kit plate into window opening.
- Step 2: Slide plate to cover the width of the opening.
- Step 3: Close window to hold plate in place.
- Step 4: Attach intake and exhaust hose to the unit.
- Step 5: Place the other end of both the intake and exhaust hose into the holes on the window plate.
* Please Note: The portable air conditioner shown in this video is to demonstrate installation only, it is not model AP14009COM.
To easily vent the portable air conditioner, the AP14009COM includes a window kit that can conveniently be fitted in windows that are 32" - 56" in size. Window kits for portable air conditioners take up much less space than installing a window air conditioner, which means you don't have to worry about blocking the light or view from your window.
Dual Hose
Separate intake and exhaust hoses allow for more air intake, cooling power, and more stable air pressure, which contributes to a 40% faster cooling rate.
Three (3) Fan Speeds
Choose between high, medium, and low fan speeds to find the perfect setting for air output and noise.
Automatic Restart
The intelligent design auto restart function stores your selected settings so that in the event of a power failure the unit will restart just as before when the electricity comes back on.
Energy Efficient
A impressively high 11.2 EER, means the AP14001HS consumes significantly less energy than others in its class.
All of the settings on the unit can be conveniently controlled from across the room via the remote control.
- Power - Switches unit on/off.
- Mode - Cool, dehumidify and fan only mode.
- Fan - Sets the fan to high/medium/low.
- Up / Down - Increases temperature or time when timer is enabled. Decreases temperature or time when timer is enabled.
- Timer - Enables timer.
- LED Display - Shows indicators for fan speed, mode, temperature setting, clock, timer and Fahrenheit and Celsius settings.
Condensate is expelled from the unit through the hose, but in more humid climates where moisture is more prevalent, the excess moisture can be drained through the drain in the back of the unit.
No Restriction
For spaces where window air units are not allowed, portable air conditioners are a great alternative as they do not protrude from the outside, allowing them to comply with building codes and HOA's.
Non-Permanent Installation
As long as there is a place to vent the hot air and a standard electrical outlet available, portable air conditioners can be used wherever and whenever needed and easily moved or stored when not in use.
Cut Costs
Instead of turning down your central A/C unit for that one room that is always a few degrees hotter than the rest, Portable ACs can be an efficient way to cool hot spots in your home without sacrificing your electricity bill.
User Friendly
Easy to connect and operate, portable air conditioners can be used wherever and whenever needed and easily moved or stored when not in use.
Optional Accessories
5 Pack Filters For AP14009COM
These activated carbon filters remove smoke and other odors from the air.
Upgraded Portable AC Vent Kit for Sliding Glass Doors and Large Windows
Upgrade your installation options with this large window and sliding door vent kit.
Portable Air Conditioner Drop Ceiling Vent Kit
Vent your portable air conditioner through your drop ceiling with this ceiling vent kit.
Great for overheated server and computer rooms or larger spaces in need of powerful cooling, the EdgeStar Server Room 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Pump (AP14009COM) is one of the most powerful Portable ACs on the market. With an impressive 14,000 BTUs and a Dual Hose design, you can expect this unit to quickly and easily cool up to 525 sq. ft. of space.
Continuous Cooling:Due to the self-evaporative design and integrated drain pump, you can leave the unit running overnight without having to worry about emptying water condensate
Dual Hose Design:Separate intake and exhaust hoses allow for more air intake, more cooling power, and a more stable air pressure, which all contribute to a 40% faster cooling rate than similar single-hosed units (this unit can be used as a single hose unit, as well)
Energy Efficiency Ratio:This portable air conditioner has an impressively high 11.2 EER, meaning that it consumes significantly less energy than others in its class
Standby Mode:Despite producing high levels of cooling power, the highly-efficient control board enables it to have a low power usage rate when in standby mode-- When operational, it still only costs a little more than a dollar to run all day
Energy Saving Programmable Features:Cut costs by setting the unit to run only when you need it, and have it efficiently cool your space before you even get there using the 24 hour programmable timer-- The timer allows you to set the unit to cycle on automatically, or once it is on, you can set it to automatically turn off
Intelligent Auto Restart:This unit's auto restart function stores your settings, so that in case of a power outage, it will pick right back up where it left off when power is regained
Three (3) Speed Fan:Find your perfect setting and control noise and air output by choosing a high, medium, or low fan setting
Easy-to-Use Window Kit:Venting your portable air conditioner is a simple three step process, and your purchase includes all the necessary materials-- Simply connect the vent hoses to the back of the unit, remove the caps from the window vent kit and connect it to the exhaust hoses (If using in a server room or office with no windows, we recommend using a drop ceiling vent kit, which is sold separately)
Eco-Friendly:Designed to be an environmentally friendly product, this portable air conditioner uses non ozone-depleting CFC-free refrigerants and is made of all RoHS compliant components that are free of harmful chemicals
Superior Reliability:Due to durable construction and design, this portable air conditioner is built to withstand light commercial use
Pump Included:Even if you live in an area of high humidity, condensate will be of no consequence due to this unit's integrated drain pump
Advance Replacement Warranty:Because of the important applications of this portable air conditioner, EdgeStar backs this unit with a 1 Year Advance Replacement Warranty-- this means that should your unit stop working, they will ship you a new unit immediately, allowing you to then use that packaging to ship back the non-working product

Here's my shot at Betty's noon crop challenge: Chocolate Brown and Rose Pink. I created the polka dot background just from shape cutouts and a round brush (with my new graphics tablet and pen, wohoo!), clipped the 'paint chip' from the image we used for color inspiration then screened it for a vellum look, and played with the magnetic lasso tool to color in Tonya's flower doodle. The picture is of a watercolor self-portrait I painted about a year ago for a class.
this is way cool and love the mix of colours, love the little colour chart on bottom too
scraps, this is BEAUTIFUL! WTG on meeting the challenge head on and really coming up with an incredible LO! Betsy will be so proud!
Love the self portrait, so cute. Great use of all your elements and the paint chip was genius. Can't wait to see more of your layouts!

Ooh, they can slowly fly up stairs now, that's real menacing!
The blitz zombie one was very creepy indeed, I think they stretched the horror aspect as far as it could go without just being straightup horrorshow fare, it worked well yet still kept it in the realm of sci-fi.
Yeah, I figured Mickey would probably return despite my opinion, not really sure why they're so attached to the character though. If they do him as an old man, that could be interesting (they did him as a kid for laughs), if they already did and we haven't gotten it yet, don't tell me too much.

BOB: Arts
Albuquerque has a working-class, blue-collar reputation that belies its artsy, sensitive soul. You might not know it from all the strip malls and less than stellar public art displays, but there are a ton of talented artists in this town and plenty of fine venues exhibiting art.
Burque will never be Santa Fe, but there's a sunny side to that truism: A much cheaper cost of living means artists creating on the fringes of society often find a welcome home here, whereas in Santa Fe, if you aren't painting Southwestern landscapes or Indian princesses on horseback, you're probably spending a goodly amount of time dumpster-diving for your dinner behind Furr's Cafeteria, poisoned with the kind of cancerous self-loathing that destroys all dreams of artistic accomplishment.
So at least we have that going for us. Actually, after you look through these winners, you'll see we have quite a few blessings for which we should all be thankful.
Best Movie Theater
Century Rio 24
Where's the best place to comfortably watch new movies? We'll give you a hint. It's big, kind of looks like a casino and with its stadium seating you don't have to worry about a really tall guy sitting in front of you. In case it isn't painfully obvious, Century Rio 24 is this year's winner. Century 14 Downtown took second and indie cinemaphile heaven Guild Cinema took third.
Best Locally Shot Film from the Past Year
Wild Hogs
Did the Harley-riding slapstick in Wild Hogs really make that film of higher cinematic quality than, say, Employee of the Month with Jessica Simpson? Hmmm. Tough call. OK, so most of the films shot here in New Mexico haven't exactly been Oscar quality just yet. Second-place winner Beerfest did provide a few drunken laughs. Unfortunately, third-place winner Little Miss Sunshine--although nominally set in Albuquerque--was actually shot in Los Angeles. ... Still, it was better than Wild Hogs.
Best Theater Production from the Past Year
The Joan Crawford/Marilyn Monroe Christmas Carol
Finally, The Dolls get the recognition they deserve! This last holiday season, much like the one before it, The Dolls performance troupe relieved us from our holiday blues and took us back to 1960-something with The Joan Crawford/Marilyn Monroe Christmas Carol. As a sign of gratitude, voters named it the "Best Theater Production from the Past Year." Second place went to Mamma Mia at Popejoy and third place was Kristen D. Simpson's How To Conquer a Southern Woman, performed during UNM's Words Afire Festival.
Best Art Gallery
In Albuquerque, it seems like art galleries are opening as frequently as new Starbucks locations. Competition is always stiff, but Nob Hill staple Mariposa once again came out on top. In second was Weems and third went to the Albuquerque Museum.
Best Poet/Writer
Danny Solis
Solis' slam poetry résumé is so impressive, he doesn't even need to utter a word on stage to make a crowd go silent. He's been the Burque Poetry Slam Champion twice, taken the Boston individual slam four times, grabbed top honors at the Taos Poetry Circus Open Slam and has been part of two National Championship Poetry Slam Teams. (He even recently taught a love letter-writing workshop to benefit the New Mexico Friends of Foster Children Fund and Watermelon Mountain Ranch—awww.) Solis is joined on this impressive list by fellow poet Hakim Bellamy in second. Tony Santiago and author Tony Hillerman also got plenty of votes.
Best Comedian
Dana Goldberg
Stand-up comedy is no easy task, but Dana Goldberg doesn't care. She stands up, grabs that mic and makes audiences cry with laughter in her hometown of Albuquerque and around the world. Even simpler for Goldberg is her love for charity, appearing at local events such as the Friends for Life Benefit for New Mexico AIDS Services. Matt Peterson takes the silver mic and Jim Villanucci the bronze.
Best Live Performance Troupe
Burlesque Noir
How big is the burlesque craze in Albuquerque? Find out next week when Marisa Demarco explores the issue in an in-depth Alibi cover story. Until then, just savor the fact that the lovely ladies of Burlesque Noir came in first in a category that's been dominated for 57 straight years by the talented Tricklock Company crew. (See our Lifetime Achievement Awards page for details on that one.) The community-oriented Keshet Dance Company got plenty of love in this category, too.

The Tenthers Are Coming!
February 21, 2012 by Michael Boldin
Seriously? Yes. Over and over again, we heard the same question. At first, I thought they were joking. Consider all the Tenther hype from people like Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich and other mainstream conservatives. And at a recent Fox News/YouTube debate, the most requested question from conservatives around the country was about the 10th Amendment. Maybe they were testing us to see if we knew what we were talking about.
But, no, I was wrong. A large number of the people we interacted with at the biggest and most mainstream conservative event in the country had no clue what the 10th Amendment even is.
And they wonder how this country could end up with someone like Barack Obama? Yeah, well, that's another column altogether.
After being asked that same question about the 10th a dozen or so times, I decided to give a much simpler reply. It went something like this: "The 10th Amendment is the one that says that Feds are allowed to do only certain stuff. That stuff is in the Constitution. Everything else is left to each of the States as we the people decide."
That got some really positive responses. Good, because it's true.
Practical Examples
After I got home to Los Angeles, I started to think about that question more and more. And, yes, while the basic principle I shared with people in Washington is true, I recognize that people want and need to see practical examples of how something like this is actually playing out.
Talking about how things "should be" is one thing. But sharing examples of how people are taking action on Constitutional issues right now is far more powerful.
When it comes to the Constitutional "rule of construction" known as the 10th Amendment and actions being taken around the country to reject Federal laws, regulations and mandates enacted outside the scope of their Constitutional limits, there are loads of examples to share.
In a quick one-on-one conversation, I'll still continue to give my short-version answer about the 10th. But in a forum like this, there's a great opportunity to share a bit more. Like this:
The 10th amendment is the one that says the Feds can do only the few things allowed to them in the Constitution. And that means people like you are empowered to do something about it when Federal politicians violate those rules. In fact, people around the country are doing something about issues all across the political spectrum right now. They're standing up and saying something that you and I should be saying to Washington every single day: No.
That's right. A law passed outside the limits of the Constitution is no law at all. It's an act of usurpation. And when the Federal government passes "laws," regulations and mandates that aren't authorized by the Constitution, you are not bound to obey them.
Happening Right Now
Being early in the year, this is the time when State legislatures are working with people to find ways to say "no" to Washington. Here are some of what I consider to be the biggest and best examples happening around the country today.
1. Banning Health Insurance Mandates
Last fall, 66 percent of Ohio voters and a majority of every single political demographic, approved Issue 3: the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment. This State Constitutional Amendment says that "no law or rule shall compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in a health care system."
Ohio is the 10th state to pass something along these lines, and six other States are considering similar measures already this year.
Keep track of all the activity on this front here.
2. Rejecting Indefinite Detention
Ten years ago, if you had called the Patriot Act "moderate," I probably would have puked. But compared to what Obama signed into "law" on Dec. 31 (primarily sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act), that George W. Bush-era tragedy for American liberty is mild.
When due process is eliminated, these so-called "indefinite detentions" are little more than government-sanctioned kidnapping. I believe there should be serious ramifications for kidnapping, whether the kidnappers work for the government or not.
Tennessee is currently considering a bill that would do just that: sanction Federal agents with kidnapping charges in that State. Other States are taking the position that they will provide absolutely no material support in any way with the Federal government on this issue. The Virginia House of Delegates passed a bill which would make law that no agent of the Commonwealth could participate in supporting the Feds in arrest without due process. The vote on that bill was a whopping 96-4.
So far, six States are considering similar bills — what we call the Liberty Preservation Act in our model legislation at the Tenth Amendment Center.
Harder to tame than a willful statehouse might be a cluster of counties, towns and cities, each one individually working to nullify these new kidnapping powers through local law. In just days, a number of localities began to consider similar legislation, and already seven have passed — most recently in Northampton, Mass.
Expect many more to join them soon. Follow the activity here.
3. Advancing Constitutional Money
With the economy coming apart at the seams, a growing number of people would like to see Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution followed. It states that "No State shall… make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts."
It seems pretty straightforward, but it hasn't been followed in ages.
Following Utah's lead from last year, five other States are working on legislation to allow sound money to actually be used without sanction. And while this is really just scratching the surface, it's moving faster than waiting for Washington to somehow give up its power to inflate and bail out their friends.
Stay informed of progress on Constitutional Tender Acts here.
There's Plenty More
Rejecting mandates, restoring due process and supporting sound money are just three important issues that define what's happening in the Tenther Movement today. But there's so much more. States around the country are considering similar actions on issues like 4th Amendment violations by the Transportation Security Administration to 2nd Amendment violations by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
From mandates to milk, from weed to wars without declaration and everything in between, very little of what the Federal government does today is authorized by the Constitution.
But even though the establishment politicians and establishment media will never tell you this, we don't have to sit around and take it. When 25 States refused compliance with the REAL ID Act of 2005, that law remained on the books in Congress, was never challenged in Court, but was rendered virtually null, void and unenforceable in most of the country.
Saying "no" works.
When enough people stand up and say "no" to Washington and enough States follow their lead and pass laws backing them up, the Feds are going to have a hell of a time trying to force their unConstitutional "laws," regulations and mandates down our throats.

hey all. i am a beginner fly fisherman, fishing the streams in western new york. i have been teaching myself how to cast... and not scare the fish away. it took me a few day long trips to actually catch a fish, but i am slowly getting the hang of it. i would get some casting lessons, but i am a poor dental student living off student loans (i was barely able to afford a flyfishing outfit). so here's my story. i went to east coy creek, and fished a mile long section. i noticed that i was wading through some pretty muddy sections, but it didn't bother me too much (i don't have waders, so i wear mesh swimming shoes and swim trunks). i caught two small browns, and decided to walk back to my truck. so i drove over to cattaragus creek, where i had some pretty good luck, and caught the fish that is pictured in my avatar, among others. i made it back to my truck a little after 9pm, and pulled off my shoes to put on my flip flops. there it was... a big fat leech on my foot
. i figured that i got it in the east koy, about 6 hours earlier. i pulled it off. as i was driving home, i noticed that my foot was sticky... i bled all over my floormat. the wound healed up in about 3 days, and just looked like an old bug bite. about a week and a half later, my foot blew up, swollen, red, pus filled, and painful. i went to the doc and sure enough it was infected. the doc told me that after a leech bite, you can retain some mouthparts in your skin, and along with the leeches gut bacteria and wearing shoes all day, can cause an infection. she also told me that i shouldn't go wading until it is totally healed
. i am on antibiotics now, and the infection is clearing up. so long story short... watch out for leeches! sorry for the long winded story, but i thought i'd let you all know to check yoursleves for leeches!

Family: Parulidae, Wood Warblers view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Mostly blue-gray above, streaked on back with two white wing bars; color on head forms a distinct hood; note the broken white eyering. Throat and underparts are mostly yellow grading to white on vent and undertail coverts; has dark streaks on flanks. ADULT FEMALE Similar, but paler and less colorful overall. IMMATURE Recalls adult female, but plumage is paler and less colorful with buff gray wash to upperparts and less distinct eyering.
Dimensions Length: 6" (15 cm)
Endangered Status The Kirtland's Warbler is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered throughout its U.S. range in Michigan and Wisconsin. This warbler nests in Jack Pines, the cones of which need fire in order to open up and release their seeds. Fire suppression practices have devastated the species by inhibiting the regeneration of the pines. Among the measures being taken to save the Kirtland's Warbler is controlled burning in its breeding range in an attempt to maintain the required habitat. Cowbird control is also essential to sustaining viable populations of this rare bird, as the nest predators are known to lay their eggs in Kirtland's nests.
Habitat Rare summer visitor (mainly May-Aug) to young Jack Pine forests in Michigan; fire prevention (fire is essential for forest regrowth) was a major factor in species' decline. Winters in Bahamas.
Observation Tips Join a U.S. Forest Service guided tour.
Range Great Lakes, Florida
Voice Song is a rich, accelerating wich-tchew-tchew-tchew-tchwe-wee; call is a soft tchh.
Discussion Endangered warbler that "pumps" tail up and down while feeding. Sexes are separable.

Syria: Humanitarian appeal almost doubles
United Nations agencies and their humanitarian partners today increased their appeal for Syria—from US$180 million to $347 million—to scale up their response to a deepening crisis affecting an estimated 2.5 million people.
"The number one priority for the people inside Syria at the moment is a message of appeal for an end to the violence. That is what they need and what they want. At the moment, the entire civilian population inside Syria is gripped by fear and despair," said OCHA's Operations Director, John Ging, at the fifth Syrian Humanitarian Forum in Geneva.
Humanitarian agencies have warned that civilians are bearing the brunt of the violence. Thousands of homes, hospitals and other essential infrastructure have been destroyed, and the worsening insecurity is making it harder for aid organizations to reach the people who need assistance.
"The basis for that fear is very real. We see the numbers that are being killed, the increasing intensity of the violence, in terms of the destruction, and also the despair grounded in the fact that the people do not see any prospect for an end to this horrendous cycle of violence," said Mr. Ging.
More than 350 participants from Governments and humanitarian partners attended the forum to discuss the need to increase the response. The revised Syria Humanitarian Response Plan, presented at the forum, focuses on providing health care, food, shelter and education in areas most badly affected by the crisis, and which are hosting large numbers of internally displaced people.
About 1.2 million people have been internally displaced, many of them now living in schools and public buildings. According to UNICEF, some 470 schools now serve as shelters, which will affect children's access to education when the academic year begins in mid-September.
So far, nearly a quarter of a million people have fled to the neighbouring countries of Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq. The Regional Refugee Response Plan, which is seeking a further $193 million for 180,000 refugees, is expected to be revised by the end of September to reflect the increase.
Mr Ging added: "The plan for responding to the refugee crisis has already been overtaken in terms of the numbers. There will be a revision of that plan by the end of the month. You can expect that there will be a significant increase in the demands placed on the donor community to provide the funding for the scaled-up operations there."
Humanitarian organizations in Syria and in neighbouring countries have stepped up their work in recent months, but limited funding and insecurity are hampering their efforts. In August, the World Food Programme (WFP) dispatched food rations through the Syrian Arab Red Crescent to more than half a million people across all 14 governorates. In September, WFP expanded its food assistance to reach some 1.5 million people.
The World Health Organization has reported that health-care workers cannot get to work because of security concerns and inaccessible roads. There are also severe shortages of essential medicines impeding treatment and care.
"Human action is not a solution in conflict; the solution in conflict is a political resolution that ends the conflict and takes the issues into a political process," said Mr. Ging. "While there is failure to find that process, we in the humanitarian community have to step up and do more, in ever-more dangerous circumstances, to help people who are suffering more."

GENEVA — Medical patients, students and religious observers are increasingly put in harm's way in armed conflicts around the world, the head of the Red Cross said Thursday.
Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, said his organization is gravely worried about the rising misuse of hospitals, schools and religious centers in armed conflicts in Syria and other nations.
The increasing "weaponization of medical facilities" and similar misuse of schools, churches and mosques was one of the most worrisome trends during the past year, Maurer told reporters at Red Cross' headquarters.
He said armed forces and rebels in Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Mali and other nations have been bringing arms into such places, making them susceptible to military attack.
"I am not of the opinion that these patterns are happening by chance," said Maurer, who attributed the patterns – rising violations of international humanitarian law – to all sides gaining more encouragement to win rather than to reach a political settlement.
He emphasized that the global humanitarian organization's annual report for 2012 also shows an alarming and widening gap between the staggering needs of millions of people suffering from Syria's civil war, and the world's ability to help them.
Major conflicts like the one in Syria also tend to last longer which is "grinding down the civilian population year after year," Maurer said. "There is an inability to cope with the demands."

Updated on 13 December 2012
The Medicines Company will pay Bristol-Myers Squibb $115 million and tiered royalty on annual net revenues for recombinant thrombin Recothrom
Singapore: US-based medical solution provider, The Medicines Company, and Bristol-Myers Squibb have signed a global license and two year collaboration for Recothrom, a recombinant thrombin approved by the US FDA for use as a topical hemostat to control non-arterial bleeding during surgical procedures.
Under terms of the agreement, The Medicines Company will pay Bristol-Myers Squibb an upfront collaboration payment of $105 million and an upfront option fee of $10 million. The Medicines Company has also agreed to pay Bristol-Myers Squibb a tiered royalty on annual net revenues of Recothrom during the two-year collaboration term.
Bristol-Myers Squibb will retain responsibility for the manufacturing of Recothrom and will be The Medicine Company's exclusive supplier of Recothrom during the term of the agreement. The option enables The Medicines Company to acquire the Recothrom assets for a purchase price based on average net sales during the two-year collaboration term.
Dr Clive Meanwell, chairman and CEO, The Medicines Company, said, "As a marketed, growing product to control blood loss in the hospital, we believe Recothrom is a strategic fit that enables operating leverage with The Medicines Company's emerging perioperative care portfolio. The financial structures and net revenues fit well with our strategy for aggressive and sustainable growth in acute and intensive care medicine. Of course, thrombin is also a hemodynamic target we know well based on our experience with Angiomax (bivalirudin), a thrombin inhibitor."
Dr Giovanni Caforio, president, US pharmaceuticals, Bristol-Myers Squibb, said that, "This agreement is part of Bristol-Myers Squibb's ongoing efforts to simplify operations, improve our efficiency and better position ourselves to focus on our important work in areas of significant unmet medical need that are critical to our long-term success."
