With half of its league schedule left to play, Cedaredge High School boys' basketball coach, Kevin Dunbar, remains confident his Bruins will be in the hunt when the right time comes. Cedaredge hosted two 3A league foes, Roaring Fork and Olathe this past week.
The Bruins lost to league front runner Roaring Fork 55-45 on Friday and bounced back to score a 56-49 decision over Olathe on Saturday.
RF 55, Cedaredge 45
The first quarter of this game was fairly even with the Rams posting a 17-15 edge after eight minutes of play.
The game's turning point came in the second quarter where Roaring Fork shut down the Bruins' offense in a 15-6 run and a 32-21 halftime lead.
Reid Gates paced the Bruins in the first half with 10 points, including three field goals and four of five from the free throw line. Gates collected nine more points in the second half to finish with 19 counters to lead Cedaredge's offense. Trent Walker finished with 11 points.
Corey Reynolds had six points in a 17-14 fourth-quarter run by the Bruins. Dakotah Grett slipped 22 points through the nets to lead the Rams' offense.
Bruins 56, Pirates 49
An ugly start for the Bruins on Saturday turned out to be pretty in the end as Cedaredge overcame a 17-4 first quarter to power its way to a 56-49 3A WSL victory over the visiting Olathe Pirates.
Russell Harris had a pair of threes in the opening quarter against Cedaredge and scored eight points in the Pirate's 17-4 run.
The tide turned in second-quarter play with Cedaredge getting its offense fueled up in a 21-8 run to tie the game at 25-25 at the break. Dillon Smith provided the spark for Cedaredge with a pair of treys and two deuces for 10 points. Gates chipped in another six counters.
Cedaredge kept the pressure on in third-quarter play with Walker hitting two long-range shots to go with a free throw for seven points.
A 17-16 fourth quarter went to Cedaredge as Gates led the charge with seven points. Tanner Vernon scored eight points and Trenton Jole had six for the Pirates in the quarter.
Gates led Cedaredge with 16 points and Smith had 15. Vernon had 14 points to lead the Olathe attack.
The Bruins are in Aspen on Saturday where they are scheduled to take on the Skiers in a game set for 4 p.m.

Halle Berry's Request to Move Daughter to France Denied
Judge says the actress must stay stateside for now
A judge ruled Friday that Halle Berry cannot move her 4-year-old daughter Nahla to France to live with her and fiance Olivier Martinez, according to TMZ.
Berry said she wanted to move to France to escape the blizzard of paparazzi that follow her everywhere, not to punish Nahla's father Gabriel Aubry, who split with Berry in 2010. The judgment was part of the former couple's custody battle.
[ALSO READ:Halle Berry Custody Case: Paparazzo Called to Testify]
Because we are followed all the time, she is starting to feel like she is somehow special, and of course she is," Berry told the November issue of InStyle. "But I want her to understand that she's special because of who she is, not because she was born into this celebrity blender."

This was a great place for a one-night stay but would be even better for a weekend to take advantage of all the activities here like lake swimming, paddle boating, laser tag and paintball. Campground is on Army base land but you don't have to go through any check points to get in. They do require your social security number in their computer at registration but they said it was immediately encrypted and unavailable to the office staff after it was entered. The grounds at this park are great and spread out. Camp sites are generous with space with nice roads throughout. Cable worked fine and showers were clean. Watch out for lots of ant hills as you walk through the grass to the shower buildings or anywhere off the roads. We arrived after registration office hours but the other staff in the building told us to just pick out a site and pay up in the morning. Big play ground for children and they played a family movie outside in the evening. We heard gunfire and shelling off and on all night long; stopped with sunrise. The noise didn't bother us; just quite a unique experience. Would love to visit longer next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really enjoyed this campground. Would have given it a 10 rating, but the showers and bathrooms could have been maintained and cleaned better. The staff was friendly. The park was well maintained. The streets are paved, and our site was also paved. The site was level. The distance between sites was very, very generous. There were several activities going in during the weekend. There was no wi-fi, and Verizon service was minimal. We would return to this park if we were in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is awesome. We live fairly close so we have never camped here but we will for sure be back. The night rate was a little high it was $40 for us because my hubby works there, everyone else in our group paid $45/night. However this included full hook-up (electric, water, sewer, cable). We stayed in circle drive 3 and it was less wooded than circle 1 & 2 but it was still more wooded then a lot of campgrounds we have been to. Also the bathrooms were super clean and the showers were also very clean. Circle 3 has a huge playground for the kids (slides & a small zipline). The kids played there all the time. We camped with 15 adults, 17 children, and 6 dogs. There is also a very cute 18 hole mini golf ($5/per person). However, on Fri. night they had free glow in the dark mini golf. It was packed and everyone has so much fun. They also have a lot of free activities for the kids all weekend (hay ride, crafts, beach, movie w/popcorn, shuffleboard, frisbee golf). There are also a lot of walking/hiking trails. The water at the beach was a little cold but the kids still had a great time. You can also rent canoes, kayaks, paddleboats, paintball equipment, and laser tag all at reasonable prices. Every weekend they have a theme also - this weekend was sports. They had a mini triathalon on Sat. morning for kids and adults. The only down fall was the trumpet at 0545, 0600, 0700, 1200, 1700, 2200 & 2300. And there was occasional shooting and bomb like noises. However, it was kind of cool to hear these things also - it was a reality check knowing that military was close by protecting us. We will for sure be back to camp at this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were there for "Family Fun" weekend. We really like this campground. They raised there nightly rate from $20 last year to $45 this year...more than double. They did not add any amenities either (they explained it by saying they had not had a price increase in 8 years.) I am not sure how much we will go there now as that seems a bit high for a campground with no in-ground pool (they have a lake to swim in) and no Wi-Fi. It is very quiet, family friendly. You are on the military grounds so you do hear shelling. There are bugs, but, hey, it is camping! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautifully treed park; 12 miles off the hiway. Very spacous; good roads; plenty of space between sites. Unfortunately, in late May, the gnats were terrible and could not stay outside. Could not even leave door open as they came in thru the screen!. Great family spot. We stayed one night on our way up north. Being retire military we enjoyed hearing taps in the evening and reveille in the morning! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is a adjacent to Ft McCoy and is a private facility which gives a discount to Military members and retirees. Weekend and holiday rates are at a premium, and we felt over priced. It is a very rustic site and quite a distance from the main road. We probably wouldn't stay here again. It just isn't worth the price for the activities we like to do. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a great campground that was well off the beaten path and is open to both military and civilians. A word of warning though, you are on a military installation and if you don't like hearing the bugle calls at 6am, 9 & 11pm or the machine gun fire (you're about 1/2 mile from some of the ranges) you should stay somewhere else. Also, on the rare occasion that they do get a break, small, organized groups of soldiers will be here too. The units rent out the pavilions as a morale booster for the troops, but they do keep to themselves. The spaces were roomy and all were shaded. There is a daily garbage pickup and plenty of dumpsters. There were a few small playgrounds for the kids and plenty of pavilions. During the winter months, they have a ski hill that I've never been to. We camped here with two 5 year olds during the week. They had a great time between the beach, boats, miniature golf and other kids...they didn't want to leave. I also saw that they have planned activities every weekend during the summer. I would definitely make the trip and stay here again. For the non-military types, civilization (fuel, groceries, restaurants, etc.) are only 15 minutes away in Tomah. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Barcelona 4-1 Real Sociedad: Neymar strikes in La Real rout
The South American stars ensured the reigning Liga champions ran out comfortable winners at Camp Nou
The champions produced a scintillating display at Camp Nou to make it six wins from six games in the top flight this season, with the Brazil international opening the scoring after just five minutes.
Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets then added goals two and three before half-time, while Alberto de la Bella grabbed a second-half consolation for Sociedad before Marc Bartra completed the scoring for the hosts.
Barca coach Gerardo Martino continued his squad rotation policy with four changes from the side that won 4-0 at Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.
Dani Alves and Busquets replaced Martin Montoya and Alex Song, while the goalscorers from the victory at the Estadio de Vallecas - Cesc Fabregas and Pedro, who grabbed a hat-trick - were left out in favour of Andres Iniesta and Alexis Sanchez.
Sociedad boss Jagoba Arrasate, meanwhile, made seven alterations to the team that drew 0-0 at home with Malaga.
Only goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, Inigo Martinez, Bergara and captain Xabi Prieto retained their places, with Antoine Griezmann, and Haris Seferovic among those to come in to the starting XI.
Those wholesale changes almost paid dividends immediately as Seferovic rattled the crossbar from outside the box after only two minutes following a bright start from the visitors.
But Barca had won 17 straight home league games before Tuesday's fixture, and normal order was resumed just three minutes later when Neymar bundled home.
Sanchez embarked on a strong run down the right, before sending in a low deflected cross that deceived Bravo and gave the 21-year-old the simplest of tasks of tapping in from three yards.
And it did not take long for Barca to double their advantage as Messi found the net with a diving header on eight minutes.
A typically free-flowing move led to Neymar standing up a perfect cross from the left that found Messi unmarked at the back post and the Argentinian made no mistake by nodding home his seventh league goal of the campaign.
Things then went from bad to worse for Arrasate when skipper Prieto was forced off with a thigh injury, and Busquets compounded his misery in the 23rd minute.
Messi somehow contrived to hit the crossbar from two yards after Alves' low delivery from the right, but Busquets was on hand to collect the loose ball 20 yards out after a poor clearance and rifle home a fine half-volley.
The champions continued to dominate thereafter and produced some mesmerising interplay in the final third, with the only negative of the half for Martino coming when Javier Mascherano was forced off after failing to shake off a knock from an early collision with Busquets.
Barca picked up where they had left off after the interval and created four clear goalscoring opportunities within the first 15 minutes of the second half, with Messi missing twice and Neymar and Sanchez following suit soon after.
However, Sociedad got themselves back into the game just after the hour through De La Bella.
Substitute Imanol Agirretxe took advantage of some lax defending from Gerard Pique before firing across the six-yard box for the full-back to convert from close range.
But Martino's side restored their three-goal cushion on 76 minutes when substitute Bartra got in on the act by finishing from two yards after a dazzling dribble from Messi in the penalty area.
Barca then took their foot off the pedal, although Sanchez nearly added further gloss to the scoreline as he hit the post with a header in injury time.

The Liberal Democrats should join forces with Labour to pressurise the Tories to adopt a Plan B to re-invigorate the economy, Ed Balls said as he sought to woo Business Secretary Vince Cable.
The shadow chancellor said he could start work with Mr Cable immediately to kick-start the economy with a capital spending programme but ruled out Labour forming a future alliance with the party's current leader Nick Clegg.
Mr Balls insisted he wanted an outright win for Labour in 2015 but said that in the meantime his party should be working with the Lib Dems as he sought to undermine the coalition ahead of the party conference season.
Speaking to Andrew Marr on the BBC, Mr Balls said: "I wish George Osborne would see Vince Cable as a man to do business with and listen to, rather than telling the newspapers he is putting his allies in (to the Business department) to try and surround him and hold him back.
"Vince should be listened to on banking reform and on the economy. I could work with Vince. I would like the Liberal Democrats to say right now that this coalition has failed and we're going to change course."
Asked whether he thought the junior coalition party was more closely allied to Labour thinking, he said: "I think that is true of many Liberal Democrats but I don't think that is true of Nick Clegg, whose instincts are clearly much closer to David Cameron and George Osborne.
"I am not somebody who thinking to myself I want a coalition for the future. I want a Labour majority government elected in 2015.
"But right now I want decent people who put the country first and are sensible in their thinking to come together and do the right thing and stop undermining the long-term future of our economy and businesses. I think Vince is one of those people. I could work with him today."
Mr Balls also used the interview to attack the leadership of Prime Minister, who he accused of "treating women badly" - a reference to the way Mr Cameron apparently sacked Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman and Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan in last week's cabinet reshuffle.
Mr Balls added: "This idea that good politics is somehow butch or macho, the Cameron view, what a load of nonsense. People don't get to where they get to by shouting loudly and throwing their weight around. It's all in the end about judgment and making the right calls."

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act of 1972 (FIFRA) required each state to set up a program to certify users of pesticides. This certification is designed to demonstrate a certain level of competency by pesticide users on the safe use of pesticides. New Jersey, through the Pesticide Control Program (PCP), began its certification program in 1975.
Users of pesticides are classified as either private applicators or commercial applicators. The definition of each is as follows:
PRIVATE APPLICATOR - any person who uses, or supervises the use, of pesticides for the purpose of raising an agricultural commodity. The pesticide use can be on land owned or rented by the applicator or the applicator's employer. Examples of private applicators are dairy farmers, vegetable or fruit growers, greenhouse growers, ranchers, and nurserymen.
COMMERCIAL APPLICATOR - any person who applies pesticides for non-agricultural purposes. Any person who uses, or supervises the use, of pesticides on a "for hire" basis, no matter what for. Also, any person who applies pesticides as part of his job with any government agency. Examples of commercial applicators are those who work for exterminators; landscapers; tree services; aerial applicators; weed control firms; pet groomers; apartments, motels, nursing homes, restaurants, etc. who do their own pest control work; and government agencies such as mosquito extermination commissions, public school systems, Departments of Public Works, Departments of Health, the DOT, etc.
Certification is accomplished by passing the Private pesticide applicator certification exam. This exam is based on the training manual entitled "Pesticide Applicator Training Manual - Private." This training manual can be obtained from your County Cooperative Extension Office.
The exam is a closed book exam. There is a 1 hour 45 minute time limit for taking the exam. Exam sessions are held monthly throughout the state. Visit the Exam Sign-Up page. You can also call the PCP at (609) 984-6614 to sign-up for the certification exam.
Once you have passed the exam, you are fully certified. Once you are fully certified, you will automatically receive licensing information in the mail. You cannot "use" your certification until you have received a license. The license will be valid for a minimum of 5 years. There is no fee charged for the Private Certified Pesticide Applicator license.
Within 12 months after a person has become fully certified and eligible to become licensed as a private pesticide applicator, the certified private pesticide applicator shall complete and file with the Department (on forms provided by the Department) a license application. Any certified pesticide applicator who fails to file for a license within the 12 month period will lose certification status and shall again become certified in accordance with the exam process. Part 3. Recertification of Private Pesticide Applicators
Recertification can be accomplished in two ways. One way is to retake the Private applicator certification exam during the 5th year. The other way, which is encouraged, is to accumulate units of recertification credit over the 5 year period by attending PCP approved courses, seminars and meetings. A Private applicator must accumulate 8 units of credit (one unit equals 30 minutes of instruction time) in Core subject matter and 16 units of credit in Private Part 2 (PP2) subject matter over the 5 years. Examples of Core subject matter are topics such as pesticide regulations, the hazards of pesticide use, and the use of personal safety equipment. Examples of PP2 subject matter are topics such as pest ID, methods of pest control, including integrated pest management, and the proper use of specific pesticides.
Check the Recertification Course page for courses currently being offered. The PCP itself does not offer any recertification courses. Course information can also be obtained by contacting your County Cooperative Extension Office, professional associations and private companies which offer such courses.
You will receive an update of your recertification status at least once a year. The "Recertification Update Form" will tell you when your 5 year period is up, how many units you have accumulated and how many more you need.
If there are any questions on the certification program for Private Pesticide Applicators, please call the PCP at (609) 984-6507.

Samsung Instinct review
The Samsung Instinct, Sprint's answer to the iPhone, finally has arrived. It's been two months since we first saw the slim touch-screen cell phone with a boatload of features, but now we've had the opportunity to kick its tires and run it through its paces. What we found is an innovative, powerful and easy-to-use device that matches the original iPhone in many ways. The Instinct's appealing design and plentiful features, particularly in the messaging and GPS areas, push it to the forefront of Sprint's lineup. Things got a little shaky on the performance side, but … Read more

A little black dress that speaks to schizophrenia
At first glance, it's a black dress festooned with colorful embroidery. But Nikki Day had much more than style in mind when threading the intricate pattern into the garment's left side.
The British fashion design and knitwear student researched the morphology of various classes of cortical neurons and then embroidered images to reflect the theory of schizophrenia as a disease of aberrant brain circuit connectivity.
"The dress is tight and slightly restricts movement to reflect the effect these brain cell malfunctions can have in limiting people with the disease in everyday life," she says. "The intricate needlework draws you in and before you know it you are discussing how the cortical neural circuits are formed." … Read more

I've altered the pattern page, but for those who've already saved or printed it out already, replace this instruction:
(RS) Work 10 sts in pattern and hold these on a large safety pin, change to size 5 needles, k12 [13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20], pm, k14 [16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30], pm, k36 [38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52], pm, k14 [16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30], pm, k12 [13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20], pm, hold the remaining 10 sts on a safety pin.
With this:

I know at least six people have started because Ravelry told me so. If you have cast-on and got passed the neckband already, the original measurements should still be fine. There were very few places where the maths actually didn't work, and where I have changed things it's normally just by a stitch or two. Its only for the very large sizes that I've changed anything of note. Remember that it is a top-down raglan, so you can try it on to make it fit you as you go anyway.
So as not to have a totally photo-less post, here's a shot of some fabric I bought in the Liberty sale. Look, knitting fabric! They actually had it in three different colourways. I was quite restrained at that fabric sale; they also had all sorts of cool prints of girl scouts camping, sixties swirls filled with fairy-tale characters... I swear I star-spotted Kaffe Fasset there too (see how I cunningly distract you from my bad mental arithmetic?).

I've made a few mistakes in knitting math that have been complete boneheaded moments. It's a little embarrassing, as I thought I knew how to count... - Wednesday, January 23, 2008

Love that knitting themed fabric, what a great knitting tote it would make.

I just swatched for this and would love to cast on today. Thanks for the update on the pattern. I'm using Plymouth Encore and size 7s. I'm a fairly new knitter, so please tell me if I'm crazy for getting gauge with worsted on 7s? Seems that 18st/4" is fairly standard though. . .

That was a quick fix! I'm already halfway through the raglan shaping, so I'll stick with my maths I think, but thanks for the update.

Oh nooooo!!! I was in Liberty yesterday, taking advantage of 2 hours of freedom before getting my train back home, but did not think of looking at the fabrics :( In fact, I had a brief look through the yarns, which was disappointing, and ended up getting some bright green large buttons on sale. I shall be in London in 2 weeks time again, but alas, by then the knitting fabric will be surely gone, or back to normal price :(

re: liberty's knitting fabric
Sorry, I bought that fabric on the first day of their sale (and I was second person through the habidashary door) - I just hadn't blogged about it. They do keep back fabric for the next sales though, so worth remembering for the summer. - Friday, January 25, 2008

Games Tagged with "adventure"
Hunt the Wumpus, by Gregory Yob, was one of the very first ever computer games back in the days of mainframes and punched cards. This version was created by Rod McFarland in Javascript and is based on Yob's original BASIC source. So it's time to relive this bit of early computer game history and play the classic, Hunt the Wumpus.
Gwen is a surprisingly gorgeous surrealistic adventure composed of richly detailed scenes filled with art, animation, sound and interactivity. With an over-arching narrative that borrows from the teachings and beliefs of Buddahism, this point-and-click game has more soul to reveal than most other games of its type. From Taiwan.
Another Web jewel from Australia's Game On initiative, Chiko: Accidental Alien is an exceptionally gorgeous and well-produced Flash adventure game that will keep you busy for hours. Help Chiko return to Earth after being swept away on a stray rocket shuttle found in a museum's basement. From there Chiko is taken to Squerx, the biggest fun park in the galaxy, where he embarks on a journey that spans three (3) delightful episodes.
Nethack is a classic singl-player (randomly generated) dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of platforms, and yet each implementation uses the same game engine. But whether graphics or text-based, emphasis is on discovering dungeon detail rather than just killing everything in sight.
Created by Bernd Mattiebe of Germany, Wogger is a multi-level, point-and-click surrealistic adventure in the same vein as the venerable Samorost. While much of the game is finding the correct click spot to move the story forward, there are a couple of puzzles that will pose a challenge for some.
L'expresso Empoisonné (The Poisoned Coffee) is a superb point-and-click mystery game created by Anode and Cathode, the authors of The Museum, The Casino and others. Paintings and other artwork have been stolen from a museum gallery. All of the evidence points to Damien Bestieu, one of the featured painters.
A sequel to Mateusz Skutnik's excellent point-and-click adventure series, Submachine 2 will have you mapping out tunnels as you explore the dark recesses of this classic-style Flash game. The Submachine series is among the best on the Web, so if you love first-person adventures, ala Myst, don't miss this one.
Pricilla Gone Missing is a Flash point-and-click adventure from Johan Törnkvist, a talented design and technology student at Hyper Island in Kariskrona, Sweden. The game begins with the player learning of the disappearance of Pricilla (Aunt "Prissy") and that warrants an investigation. From there a charming little adventure unfolds in which the player must look for items and clues to progress through the story.
Thy Dungeonman 3: Behold Thy Graphics! is a parody of the old 5¼-inch floppy text and graphic adventure games. Made by Videlectrix, Homestar Runner's fictional software design company, Dungeonman 3 sports "state-of-the-art amber monochrome visuals" (circa 1980), real-time simulated medieval English text, a parser that talks back to you, and enough mocked adventure game cliches to fill your beer stein twice full.
Escape to Obion is a five-part series of short point-and-click Flash games by Matt Slaybaugh of SkepticTank.net. The games are strongly reminiscent of old-style adventure games such as Myst, complete with the mysterious atmosphere, fiendish puzzles, and an absolutely gripping sense of exploration.
Flash developer and blogger LUT! has a few unique point-and-click adventure games just begging for your attention. They're short, moderately difficult, and one oozes style while the other tries to scare the ActionScript out of you.
As an unnamed stick figure stuck in a prison cell, you've got to break out of a remarkably dangerous dungeon armed with nothing more than your reflexes, wits and patience. The rapid fire pace of the rooms in Dungeon Escape can be surprisingly tense, and the depth in certain areas goes beyond any interactive movie I've seen before.
From Ben Leffler of Australia comes this dark and foreboding tale of the macabre that will surely send chills down your spine. One part Flash point-and-click adventure and one part interactive narrative, Exmortis 2 is the sequel to the 2004 game of the same name. It continues the story one year after the events of the first tale came to fruition.
The Fancy Pants Adventure is an gorgeously animated platform adventure game created by Brad Borne. You play a hip, hand-drawn character who, as one might have guessed, wears a very fancy pair of pants. Run and jump around levels in this beautiful and enaging Flash game.
Legend of the Green Dragon is a free, browser based homage to, and extension of, the Legend of the Red Dragon, an original and humorous RPG from the golden years of modems and BBSes. The creator, Eric Stevens, has done an excellent job preserving the style of the original while adding tons of new features, characters and monsters, as well as vastly enlarging the world to include multiple cities and an afterlife.
This Java applet game impressed me with the old-school charm of its scrolling tile-based worlds, its quirky characters and dialog, and its addictive gameplay. And yet the moment the game begins you realize that this is no ordinary Web game. Immediately you are teleporting back to the glory days of the SNES, and from there your task is to seek out the one last sprout, which is the one item you need to open the final gate.
Google blogger, information technologist, and sometimes game developer, Philipp Lenssen of Germany, has created a "choose-your-own" adventure game called The Google Adventure that takes place at the Googleplex, which is where you've just begun a new job...
Zork is a text adventure, which is a form of interactive fiction, like a cross between a novel and an RPG with some escape-the-room type puzzles thrown in. Originally conceived in the late 1970's by a research group of MIT, the first game of the Zork series has been ported to PHP for your gaming pleasure.
If you enjoy interactive fiction or text adventures of years gone by, don't miss these works by award-winning author, Andrew Plotkin. Also known as "Zarf," Plotkin leverages his skills in programming, game and puzzle design to create engaging and compelling interactive fiction that are works of art.
From Mark Arenz and his Ridiculopathy site full of ridiculousness comes this hilarious new adventure with an old-school dungeon flair. The game is light-hearted and pokes fun at some classic games as well as itself. Good fun and a nice change from the usual point-and-click approach to Flash adventure games.
If you managed to escape the Archipelago, you may have felt a sense of relief watching the volcanic islands dwindle as you floated away. Well, you may not want to breathe easy just yet, as creator Jonathan May has recently made the sequel, Return to the Archipelago, available to the general public.
Director, game designer and art director Fumito Ueda and producer Kenji Kaido, along with the rest of the development team behind ICO, have broken the mold and released, exclusively for the Playstation 2, what has become the single most original and awe-inspiring gaming experience of my life, Shadow of the Colossus...
This second game of the Samorost series lives up to the lofty expectations set by the first. It is every bit a sequel that includes all of the best qualities that made the first game remarkable, and then adds more environments, more puzzles, and more sound and music. The result is a game that continues the reputation set by the first as being one of the finest, compelling interactive experiences available on the Web today. It is altogether an exceptional work of interactive art.
Kafkamesto is an unusual and dark interactive narrative that will at first seem familiar to those acquainted with point-and-click adventures, but beware the futility in store. The over-arching narrative seems to be as much a statement about Kafka's own life as it is the themes he often wrote about.
Enter Jinx to save the day. This gorgeous and adorable Flash game has kids written all over it, including those who are only kids-at-heart. In his first episode, Jinx comes upon the house on the hill that is all lit up for once on a dark and stormy night. Upon knocking, the door opens and Jinx decides to go in and have a look around.
The Stone of Anamara is a creepy point-and-click adventure game, created by Gabriel Rodriguez, that spans multiple chapters. In this first chapter, you uncover the story behind the asylum doctor, Alexander Graves, and the mysterious illness of one of his patients.
Mateusz Skutnik has created an extended version of his recent point-and-click game, Submachine. Boasting twice as many rooms, a new puzzle and an alternate ending, the new version is something of a remix to tide you over until he creates a sequel, which he promises is on the way.
Aquaria is a Flash adventure game created by So of Japan and featured at so-room.com along with several other Flash animations and fun interactive works. Yes, the game is in Japanese, and yet is filled with beautiful graphics and scenes like the one pictured.
Submachine is a relatively easy, simple and straight forward point-and-click game of the escape-the-room variety. It will engage your puzzle-solving skills for about 10-15 minutes, and if you haven't played this one already you're in for a treat. So very popular that it spawned a 'remix' and a sequel.
Two different light-hearted and cute, point-and-click adventure games to offer up today, and both feature the same extraterrestrial main character. And while the first has been available for a couple of months, the second game has just been released.
NFH Propaganda is a creepy point-and-click adventure game created using a combination of Flash and a series of HTML pages. The result is highly reminiscent of the 99 Rooms, and as equally artistic: just replace all the graffiti with ghoulish animation and weirdness.
The Goat in the Grey Fedora is a strange and offbeat point-and-click adventure with a black and white film-noir atmosphere. The game's highpoint is definitely its sense of humor. Not only that, but it has an actual plotline, which, as the title implies, has to do with a goat. In a grey fedora.
One more game to leave you with to sweat it out over the weekend. Mark Arenz over at Ridiculopathy.com, author of the previously reviewed Swinger game, has just released his latest creation and it's a unique combination of point-and-click puzzles with arcade mini-games thrown in for good measure.
Dr. Stanley's House was created by James Li and is a point-and-click adventure game. It has a mysterious plot with some twists and turns that is very creepy at times. The lush colored graphics provide a striking contrast to the moody atmospheric soundtrack, with several cut scenes that develop the story as you play.
Anode and Cathode, that very talented French duo responsible for many hours lost inside their previous point-and-click adventures, have done it again. The Casino is the latest of their efforts to put your clicky finger to the test. And while I found this one to be just slightly disorienting as compared to their previous efforts, the quality of workmanship appears to have been left intact.
For all you point-and-clickers out there: You know who you are! The Wand House is a mysterious graphical, point-and-click adventure game with puzzles so difficult, I was unable to get through it all before posting it here for you to try.
If you haven't yet played Mink's adorably cute animated point-and-click puzzle games at 3Wish.com, you owe it to yourself to check them out. If you have already played them, now there is a reason for another visit: No. 5 Part 3 is now available to play.
Hanamushi is an absolutely gorgeous Japanese website filled with beautiful artwork and even a couple of Flash point-and-click adventures to discover. Simply amazing. And yet there is a dark side to the shapes that lurk in the shadows, so watch where you step. For the truly adventurous.
Featuring original and commercial-quality graphics, animation and sound, Mink of 3wish.com has created these cute, point-and-click, cartoon puzzles in Flash. Each episode is rather short in length—just right for some lunchtime fun or a coffee break—and all of them contain humorous and inventive situations and clever puzzles to solve.
Also from the Sony Pictures website, this Flash game was created to promote one of this summer's movie releases: The Cave.
Featuring sights and sounds from the movie, the game did a good job of scaring the living daylights out of me. While at first it looks to be an innocent point-and-click adventure, a game with a more ambitious goal seems to tak...
One-half interactive story and one-half game, Survivoo is a quirky Japanese Flash piece that is charming, cute, and bizarre. Although all the text in the game is Japanese, that doesn't spoil the fun this short little adventure has to offer. Most of the animation speaks for itself. It tells the tale of a little Frenchman who is swept away to a far away land of peculiar beasts that make very strange noises.
You find yourself in a room from which you must escape. Sound familiar? Noob's Room is yet another take on the emerging "escape from the room" genre of point-and-click Flash games. This one was created by Kristjan Luts for Gamershood.
Like Escape: The Room before it, Noob's Room features very similar...
I must have missed this back in 2002 at the theatres, and yet it makes for a spine-tingling, interactive narrative Flash piece now. Ghost Ship was a movie released in October of that year, and it was even made into a Flash game to promote the film.
For those of you who love point-and-click adventures, and especially those who didn't care for how T...
Polyphonic Spree did it with Quest for the Rest, and now a band called Mae is promoting their soon-to-be-released album, The Everglow, with a brand new Flash game.
The Everglow mixes original music from the band's new album with several short games to provide an entertaining interactive experience. Included is a...
You don't know where you are, and you don't know what you're doing there. You just know you have to get out. Such is the scenario that The Doors drops you into when this excellent point-and-click adventure game begins. Truly one of the best of its kind.
From the creator of Treasure Box—an engaging and clever interactive Flash puzzle that showcases the author's artistic talents—comes another such piece with a clearer objective than its predecessor. It is an imaginative work of art filled with sights and sounds that include various puzzles to solve. The objective is to find all 5 stars and then place them onto the wheel of fortune.
Can you torque the talk? In this unusual Flash adventure game your spacecraft crash lands on an alien planet, and to escape you must observe the culture and learn a new language to communicate with the inhabitants of this alien world. Remarkable in its originality and design, as well as its gameplay.
The Museum is a point-and-click adventure from French design team Anode & Cathode, and is one part mystery and one part figure out what the object of the game is. Your task is to collect the objects you find while exploring the museum and, well, put them back where they belong.
A very creepy, very scary Flash adventure game from Ben Leffler of Australia. Exmortis begins with you waking up in the woods with a lump on your head and unable to recall how you got there. All you recall are the dreams. Regaining focus, you see a house up ahead and decide that shelter there is better than freezing to death in the woods. Think of the house at the end of Blair Witch and you'll be right at home.
Garfield.com has another charming haunted house adventure up featuring Garfield as the main character, of course. The object of Scary Scavenger Hunt II: Donuts of Doom is very similar to the first one: escape the haunted house without getting too scared. To escape, simply find and collect all seven (7) packages of donuts.
Scary Scavenger Hunt is a cute point-and-click adventure set in a haunted house and stars Garfield, from Garfield.com. It is a well-produced adventure with smooth animation, lots of great scary music and sound effects, and plenty of harmless yet frightening situations.
Halloween is just around the corner, and Gold Yard is a great little Flash adventure game to help get in the spirit of the season. Sporting an isometric view that simulates a 3D perspective, this game puts you in the character of a large-footed Hobbit trying to escape alive from a graveyard.
Your starship awakens you from hypersleep early when it detects an uncharted planet. Your mission is to explore the planet and report your findings back to the Galactic Union. Terrain is a series of interactive Sci-Fi action-adventure games made in Flash by March De Laurentis.
The Grrr Game puts you in control of a white rabbit, on a quest for carrots, using the arrow keys to move around the isometric pseudo 3D environment. Landing next to any hateful object will cause the rabbit to whip out his gargantuan hammer and whack the smithereen stars out of it, and thus turning it into a lovely object of affection.
Kharon4a is a dark and gritty, point-and-click Flash adventure that will challenge the best puzzle fanatics out there. Sporting an unusual interface and enough biotech gadgetry and terminology to open your own laboratory, Kharon4a is a moody sophisticated game to say the least.
A storm at sea has left you shipwrecked on a strange group of islands filled with mysterious gadgets and devices. Use your wits to solve the puzzles and escape it if you can. Archipelago is a point-and-click first-person puzzle adventure created in Flash by the amazing puzzle master himself, Jon May.
Steve Hutchins and Patrick Bradford of Specular Arts have produced a magnificent point-and-click adventure with 3D graphics and puzzles very similar to those found in the original game of Myst. The Shockwave game contains beautifully rendered scenes with mechanical levers, buttons, sliding doors, and other contraptions to manipulate, and sound effe...
The awe-inspiring Flash graphics of Yenz are combined into a creative and original point-and-click adventure that has you solving the mystery of the Secret Garden. You see, the garden is in great danger and it's up to you to solve the mystery and save it, if possible. There are several easy puzzles to solve and several screens of unusual yet fantastic and beautiful art to enjoy while doing so.
Merlin's Revenge is a cute little adventure game in which you play as Merlin on a quest to save your brother, Berlin, who is kidnapped by the evil Scarlet Wizard. As Merlin, your primary method of attack is, of course, magic, and the mouse is used to aim and fire a burst of energy at your foes. It's a fun game with pleasing tiled pixel graphics and cool effects. Not an easy game my any measure, but one not to be missed.
PixelHugger in the Field of Typography is about defeating the evil Auntie Alias who has mesmerized the Typographic World with her ultra-smooth ways. As a result, many perfectly good pixels lie abandoned in the Field of Typography, and your mission is to rescue as many as you can.
From Homestar Runner comes this hilariously funny game that pokes fun at itself and the text-based adventures and 8-bit graphics of years gone by. Boasting "lush 16-color landscapes," this game puts you in the shoes of a short-panted peasant named Rather Dashing who sets out on a quest of revenge against Trogdor the Burninator. A fun and quirky classic.
Og Og Alive is an original concept action adventure game of life back in the stone ages when days were spent foraging for food and protection. Play as either male or female Og Og, and pay particular attention to the hints they give as you adventure through the game. This excellent and unusual game is part of the Game On initiative of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
The latest of the point-and-click puzzle adventures to pop onto the Flash game scene is a short little story about a girl who has lost her head... literally. With gameplay very similar to that of Samarost, this game is charming and very enjoyable, the only downside is that it is over way too soon.
Best Game award winner at the Flash Forward Festival in San Francisco, Chasm is a point-and-click adventure game that stands head-and-shoulders above the rest of the pack. Containing top-notch production values that rivals many commercial products, the animation is excellent with colors and cell shaded graphics that resemble a Warner Bros. Loony-Toons cartoon. Highly recommended.
Another game from Japan, this adventure game is a bit of a mystery but looks promising in that it appears to be another one of those clicky puzzles like Viridian Room and like Samorost, and yet with a bit more action involved. All the text is in Japanese, so best of luck brave adventurer!
A wonderfully bizarre and strangely fun interactive narrative by Jakub Dvorský of Amanita Design. Samorost is the granddaddy of all Web Flash point-and-click adventure games. It is full of clicky puzzles and beautifully rendered scenes mixed with animations and various gadgetry. The number one game in the Best of 2004, and now it even has a sequel.
This is simply amazing. Someone that goes only by the name of Voxel, has created a 3D version of the original Metroid game in Director! By taking the Metroid tileset, he built a utility that allows him to convert 2D sprites to 3D sprites, and then he uses those to build the levels of the game.

"Fantastic E-Reader"
4.0 starson by Fred002Pros: Pearl Screen a noticeable improvement over 1st gen Kobo
Touch screen works wonderfully
New processor makes page turns faster
Web browser includedCons: nit-pick time...wish it had more fonts to choose from (not much of an issue really)
Summary: Bought the 1st gen kobo for my wife and was thinking about a cheap lcd tablet for e-reading for me when I saw this announced and pre-ordered right away. I had used hers and was happy but the new Pearl display is noticeably nicer to read (compared same pages side by side from "Under the Dome") and by going touch screen the size reduction is quite a bit for a device that wasn't all that big in the first place. If you've been waiting for the "right" e-reader to come along, it's here and it's called Kobo.
New firmware update allows you to change the page refresh rate, gives you 5 more fonts plus font sizing and also line and margin spacing adjustments as well, all this and built in sudoku now make the kobo the best choice for dedicated e-reading

vsea2008 Rating:5.0I was a little concerned about buying a bed set that I had not seen in person but I am totally happy that I went ahead and purchased this set. I absolutely love it. the colors are gorgeous with my leather platform bed. It is a good blend for my me and my husband, not to girly but not too manly. The curtains are a little on the thin side but they are not bad, so are the sheets but they fit a very deep mattress and are really soft. It is overall just a beautiful bed set and for the price it is a great buy.

foxhuntshepherds from Chipley, FL., Rating:1.0The comforter is simply beautiful, but does not have enough stitching in the body of it to hold the stuffing in place while washing. I followed the washing instructions exactly as instructed and it came out with the stuffing missing in places and bunched up in other places. Basically worthless. I'm very disappointed in the quality of this quilt. =(

Nothing showcases the kind of technological progress that today's clubs have to offer quite like the Powerbilt Air Force One Air Foil Driver from Powerbilt Golf. The original PowerBilt Air Force One Driver was a huge success in 2009 (not that long ago, 'specially if you can remember when fire was the next big thing), and for 2010, PowerBilt has made improvements on that technology in the new Air Force One Air Foil Driver - a club that's guaranteed to add 10-to-20 yards to your drive!

In the past decade since we first launched our business, our economy has endured unprecedented challenges, and at long last, we seem to be recovering from the greatest recession of our time. If consumer confidence were the greatest indicator of fiscal heath, the general sentiment from our customers would serve as "proof positive" that we are moving forward.

Long Island Wants More Solar
Last Friday, July 12 the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) said it wants more solar—a lot more solar for the small island. The island's electric utility announced its CLEAN Solar Initiative-II (CSI-11), a program that will provide a feed-in tariff for 100 megawatts of solar projects between 100 kilowatts and 2 megawatts. And that's just for now. The utility also is planning to issue requests for proposal for another 300 megawatts of renewable energy.
Pro Tip: Use the #Solar Hashtag on Facebook
Many of you already use the #solar hashtag on Twitter, enabling us to see your posts and share your stories. Now, you can do the same on Facebook.
Basically, using a hashtag turns the word into a clickable link in your post, which helps other people find your post even if they don't follow you. To make a hashtag, write # (the number sign) along with the word "solar" and add it to your post. For example:

The Netherlands maintained their perfect record in FIFA World Cup qualifying Group D, beating Estonia with three second-half goals at the Amsterdam ArenA.
First-half substitute Rafael van der Vaart made the breakthrough, further strikes from Robin van Persie and Feyenoord winger Ruben Schaken completing a comfortable win for Louis van Gaal's new-look Netherlands side.
While goalkeeper Kenneth Vermeer, Daley Blind and Jonathan De Guzman all made just their second appearances for the home team, there was plenty of seasoned talent going forward, with Wesley Sneijder, Van Persie and Arjen Robben boasting 226 caps between them. However, while the Oranje dominated possession from the off, they struggled to break down defensive-minded opponents, the main drama of the first half an injury to Sneijder that forced his replacement by Van der Vaart in the 36th minute.
Konstantin Vassiljev had tested Vermeer with a shot just before the break, but the Netherlands regained full control after half-time. Within two minutes of the restart, Daryl Janmaat fed the ball to Van der Vaart who turned and fired into the net with his left foot despite the attentions of two defenders.
Feyenoord right-back Janmaat then set up Van Persie for his 32nd international goal 18 minutes from time, the Manchester United FC man finishing with his left foot just in front of the goalkeeper. Van Persie provided the assist for the Oranje's third, substitute Ruben Schaken having the honour of scoring his country's 1,500th international goal.

AT&T chief: We can't keep doing big subsidies on phones
AT&T's top executive says the era of big subsidies for devices is coming to an end, as wireless operators can no longer afford to fund a constant smartphone upgrade cycle.
Speaking at an investor conference in New York City on Tuesday, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said that with smartphone penetration at over 75 percent and soon reaching 90 percent, wireless operators need to work harder to get customers to use more of the network rather than simply getting on the network.

Between Two Chains
The curving movement half seen sweeps forward and catches me squarely on the chin. Realization glimmers that next time it will strike me in the mouth and I take a step back. I estimate the returning arc, raise my arms, push the board back from whence it came. As it hurtles toward me once more I reposition. Force returns force; fury comes vigorously my way and I thrust with strength and enthusiasm. And this is fine for what it is. I have learned how not to get hit. I can push when I get shoved. How much better will it be when I can get on and swing?
Tie your lose ends into bows.
In the prairie there are small fenced cemeteries
Family plots.
The flat expanse of land opens to the eye
Hand carved monuments stand in testimony
To love and service.
In these places grow wild flowers
These places cordoned off
From mechanization and agribusiness
Held in trust are the bones of loved ones
And the soul of nature.
Blue bells, paint brush, lupines
And all manner of reedy grasses.
Deep inside me is a place like this.
The place I have buried my young.
The little ones who died of shame, neglect and hurt.
And I must return, not to exhume the dead
But to pay tribute.
To return with honor and love
Harvest the daisies and buttercups.
Grow them in the garden of my heart.
I can tend the flowers
Which spring from destruction
I can mingle them with the growth of my sober life.
Restore my prairie
To a splendor it has never known.
I can enjoy the bounty
Of saving seeds worth saving
And planting my Higher Powers will for me.
Christine, Thank you, In
Thank you, In The Prairie, is one of my favorites. It healed so much for me simply by being able to put it all into an image that was as big as those endless fields.
I hope you are well and having a lovely afternoon!

In collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and as a service to our members, ASH provides information about newly approved therapies for patients. This allows the agency to inform hematologists and professionals in hematology-related fields of recent approvals in a timely manner. Included in the message below is a link to the product label, which provides the relevant clinical information on the indication, contraindications, dosing, and safety. In providing this information, ASH does not endorse any product or therapy and does not take any position on the safety or efficacy of the product or therapy described. The following is a message from the FDA's Office of Hematology and Oncology Products:
On September 4, 2012, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration approved bosutinib tablets (Bosulif®, Pfizer, Inc.) for the treatment of chronic, accelerated, or blast phase Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in adult patients with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy.
The approval was based on a single-arm, open-label, multi-center trial which enrolled 546 patients with either chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP) or blast phase (BP) CML previously treated with at least one prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). All patients received prior imatinib therapy. In the total patient population, 73% were imatinib resistant and 27% were imatinib intolerant. In this trial, 53% of patients were males, 65% were Caucasian, and 20% were 65 years old or older. The efficacy endpoints for patients with CP CML were the rate of major cytogenetic response (MCyR) at week 24 and the duration of MCyR. The efficacy endpoints for patients with AP or BP CML were the rate of confirmed complete hematologic response (CHR) and overall hematologic response (OHR) by week 48.
Patients were evaluable for efficacy if they had received at least one bosutinib dose and had a valid baseline efficacy assessment. Of the 546 patients enrolled, 503 were evaluable for efficacy. Among the patients in CP evaluable for efficacy, 266 received prior treatment with only imatinib and 108 received prior treatment with imatinib followed by either dasatinib and/or nilotinib. The trial enrolled 129 evaluable patients with advanced phase CML previously treated with at least one TKI.
In patients with CP CML who received prior therapy with one TKI, 90 [33.8% (95% CI: 28.2, 39.9)] achieved MCyR at week 24. Among the CP CML patients who received prior therapy with more than one TKI, 29 [26.9% (95% CI: 18.8, 36.2)] achieved MCyR by week 24. In patients with AP CML who received at least one prior TKI, 21 [30.4% (95% CI: 19.9, 42.7)] achieved CHR and 38 [55.1% (95% CI: 42.6, 67.1)] achieved OHR by week 48. For the BP population, 9 patients [15% (95% CI: 7.1, 26.6)] achieved a CHR and 17 patients [28.3% (95% CI: 17.5, 41.4)] achieved an OHR by week 48.
Among the patients with CP CML who had been treated with one prior TKI (imatinib), 53.4% achieved MCyR at any time during the trial. Among these patients, 52.8% had a MCyR lasting at least 18 months. For the 32.4% of patients with CP CML treated with imatinib and at least one additional TKI who achieved a MCyR at any time, 51.4% had a MCyR lasting at least 9 months.
Safety data were evaluated in 546 patients with Ph+ CML. There were 287 patients with CP CML previously treated with only imatinib who had a median bosutinib treatment duration of 24 months. There were 119 patients with CP CML previously treated with imatinib and at least 1 additional TKI who had a median bosutinib treatment duration of 9 months. There were 76 patients with AP CML, and 64 patients with BP CML. In these patients the median treatment duration was 10 months and 3 months, respectively.
The most common adverse reactions (>20%) of any grade in the safety population were diarrhea, nausea, thrombocytopenia, vomiting, abdominal pain, rash, anemia, pyrexia, and fatigue. Serious adverse reactions reported include anaphylactic shock, myelosuppression, gastrointestinal toxicity (diarrhea), fluid retention, hepatoxicity and rash.
The recommended dose and schedule for bosutinib is 500 mg orally once daily with food. Treatment is to be continued until disease progression or patient intolerance.
Full prescribing information, including clinical trial information, safety, dosing, drug-drug interactions and contraindications is available at: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2012/203341lbl.pdf
Healthcare professionals should report all serious adverse events suspected to be associated with the use of any medicine and device to FDA's MedWatch Reporting System by completing a form online at http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm, by faxing (1-800-FDA-0178) or mailing the postage-paid address form provided online, or by telephone (1-800-FDA-1088).
