Must-Have Upland Items for Your Own Rooster Road Trip
Saturday, November 1st, 2014
My name is Bob and I'm a gear junkie. I spent years denying this fact, but I've come to terms with my addiction. I love new hunting clothing, gadgets, dog products and shotguns. Lucky for me, Rooster Road Trip provides upland companies with a platform to show off their best products for the upland hunter through our gear testing. The following list includes items you simply can't depart on your Rooster Road Trip without.
List of veterinarians in the area: This one is so easy to over-look, so I put it first. We all depart on our annual hunting road trip with visions of perfect points, shots and retrieves never imagining the tragedy of a snake bite, barbed wire cut or worse. It takes five minutes to search out and print the phone number, address, and hours of business for the nearest area veterinarian. It may be a sheet of paper you throw away upon your return home, or it may help save your bird dog's life.
Browning Tac Pro Leather Shooting Gloves: I'm old enough to remember when batting gloves became all the rage across major league baseball. I can picture Mike Schmidt of the Philadelphia Phillies gripping his bat with a pair of white Franklin batting gloves as if it were yesterday. These Browning shooting gloves are every bit as badass and functional as Schmidt's batting gloves. They provide skin-like feel of the safety, trigger and forearm while adding a little warmth on those chilly morning walks.
Irish Setter Wingshooter Boots: They say upland hunters are extremely brand loyal to three product categories; 1) dog breed, 2) shotgun and 3) boots. When it comes to a comfortable fit for an early season pheasant hunt, it's impossible to beat this American-made classic.
Garmin Alpha: When America's leading GPS manufacturer purchased Tri-Tronics electronic dog training systems, the Alpha was the natural offspring from their marriage. It provides tremendous peace of mind, particularly for the bird hunter who likes to get far, far away from the road.
LEER Locker: Do you own two dogs and have two hunting buddies with dogs too. Space runs out in one vehicle pretty quickly. And don't you hate driving up to the farm house or wildlife area with a caravan of three trucks for three hunters? The LEER Locker is just the ticket to solve all your space problems. You can store all your guns, shells, e-collars, and gear in this hidden drawer that slides easily inside the roof of your pick-up's topper.
Browning PF NTS Upland Shirt: I love this shirt. I am a reasonable 170 pound 5'7" average-built guy, but this shirt makes me feel like a superhero. It's a slimming base layer that is smooth on the skin, not overly constricting and even flatters a belly that's had a few too many six-packs, as opposed to a six-pack set of abs.
Prairie Storm Steel 4s: On a public land hunt crossing multiple states with varying regulations, I simply find it easier to exclusively carry steel shot with me. And when you consider the speed and knock-down power of Federal Premium's Prairie Storm, you can't convince me that I've compromised any bag limit success with this decision.
Browning FCW Mountain Vest: Over the last few years, I've become a big vest guy. I like freedom in my arm's range of motion. This very comfortable vest is fleece lined with a sturdy outer layer to block the wind. I've found it to be especially versatile on those early morning hunts when you need just a little extra warmth under my blaze orange Browning Bird'n Lite strap vest.

Ten Pheasant Shotgun Patterning Questions Answered
Wednesday, June 26th, 2013
This is the year to finally pattern your pheasant hunting shotgun. Mike Holm and Erik Carlson of Federal Premium Ammunition bring their expertise and cut through the technical world of patterning to help you master the basics and get ready for wingshooting.
1. Most pheasant hunters never pattern their shotguns. Why should they start?
"All hunters should pattern their shotguns to see what their point of impact looks like at different distances," says Mike Holm, Federal Premium Product Manager, "Not all shotguns shoot dead center. Knowing your pattern can increase your ability to hit game in the field. Patterning also lets you see the pattern density and can help you choose the right choke constriction."
2. At what range(s) should you pattern your pheasant hunting shotgun?
Holm says it's good to pattern your shotgun at both 20 yards and 40 yards. "This gives you a representation of what your pattern will be for an up-close flushing bird and a more distant flyer."
3. Should you pattern for both early season and late season pheasant hunting?
"By patterning your shotgun at 20 yards and 40 yards you are preparing yourself for both early and late season hunting. As we all know, not all early season birds are close," Holm says.
4. How many different pheasant loads should you plan on patterning?
The most important thing, Holm says, is to pattern the load you plan to take to the field and know what it does. But patterning different loads can be valuable. "It can be interesting to pattern two different loads to see the performance differences. You might even find performance differences that fit different hunting conditions," Holm says.
5. What choke is a good starting point to begin patterning?
"When patterning Prairie Storm® with the FLIGHTCONTROL® wad, start with Improved Cylinder (IC) chokes, because they generally provide a great combination for up close and at distance," Holm says, "If you are using a load with a standard wad system, try both IC and Mod (Modified) chokes."
6. How many rounds should be fired to make an accurate assessment?
Shoot three rounds at three separate targets and then go look at the patterns, says Erik Carlson, Federal Premium Engineering Manager, "This will give you a good idea of what you are getting from a choke and load combination because it averages out any shooter error."
7. How do you assess your results?
Before you shoot, draw a 3-inch circle in the middle of the paper with a 30-inch diameter ring around it. "If you want to get extremely technical, you can also put a 15-inch diameter ring inside the 30-inch ring," Holm adds. "You can use these rings to check the average point of impact, pattern density and pattern coverage."
8. What are the desired results on paper you're looking for?
For pheasant hunting, Holm says it's a pattern that is consistently split 50/50 both up and down and left and right from center. "The pattern density should be consistent from edge to edge within the 30-inch circle."
9. Does steel shot pattern much differently than lead shot?
Steel loads will tend to open up faster than lead loads due to the lower pellet density (this depends on shot hardness, velocity, payload weight, buffer and wad design). "If you hunt lands that require non-lead loads, Prairie Storm® Steel performs similar to a 2 3/4-inch No. 5 lead load," Holm points out, "It has a similar pellet count, time of flight to 40 yards, and penetration energy at 40 yards."
10. When should you consider purchasing an aftermarket choke tube?
Holm proclaims aftermarket choke tube makers are experts in their craft. "Each of them has a unique way to look at patterns and performance. If you are looking to perfect your shotgun pattern, do some research and go with the one that best fits your hunting style and preferences."

Go-To Gear of the Pheasant Hunting Experts
Friday, February 1st, 2013
In my previous life in professional baseball, I worked with ballplayers who exhibited incredibly strong affinities to particular brands and models of gloves, bats or cleats. Some of those affiliations had to do with sponsorship (some with superstitions), but mostly those loyalties derived from success on the field. As I've written before, I continue to be amazed by the correlations between bird hunters and ballplayers. Another one of these parallels exists in pheasant hunters' brand loyalty and that's what my focus is today.
In my estimation, pheasant hunters are largely gear junkies and that gear, in priority of importance, revolves around: their favorite breed of bird dog, shotguns, boots, ammunition and hunting vests.
So today's blog post surveys the nation's most well-renowned bird hunters to poll their favorites in each of these five categories. My assumption as I send out this survey is that like baseball players, expert pheasant hunters have a wide array of affiliations and there likely won't be too many common answers. Let's find out.

Patterning Your Pheasant Hunting Shotgun
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012
Earlier this week, I received an email from a Pheasants Forever supporter who recently purchased his very first over/under shotgun. The gentleman asked a variety of very good questions. I couldn't immediately answer all of those questions, so I reached out to Ryan Bronson at Federal Premium Ammunition for some help. Following are those questions with answers thanks to Bronson's assistance.
What kind of shot pattern am I looking for out of my pheasant hunting shotgun?
(See photo to above) This image appears on the side of every box of Federal's Prairie Storm pheasant load. According to Bronson, "This is an actual target that we shot with Prairie Storm. This pattern is actually off to the right a little bit (wind drift, shooter error, etc.). This was a 40-yard patterning target and we look for pellet counts in the 30 and 15 inch rings. Shotgunners should be looking for even distribution with few openings in the shot pattern that a bird could fit through. Even though this shot is 6 inches to the right, there are still plenty of pellets in the critical zones."
What do people do for chokes in the upper and lower barrels of an over/under? Your best choke choice is determined after patterning your gun with your preferred shot brand and size. Personally, I like shooting open chokes. I start with a skeet choke on the top barrel to open up the pattern as much as possible for that first closest shot. I've found this to be an especially important factor in shooting Prairie Storm as the shot performs best with very open chokes. My second barrel has an improved cylinder choke in it to retain a more open pattern, but not quite as open as my first shot, considering the bird is now rapidly getting down range.
Is it the ammo or the choke that determines the best pattern? It's the combination working in harmony with your shotgun. Finding the correct recipe through the three variables (gun, choke and ammo) will determine the best pattern for you. If you already know your gun, then the choke and ammo choices are determined in unison.
Bronson offered a few additional thoughts to keep in mind when patterning your pheasant shotgun:
I would emphasize understanding what your gun/ammo/choke is capable of at various distances. Sometimes you are better off letting a bird get out away from you a little before shooting it, especially if it is a tight pattern at 15 yards.
And if you shoot steel shot, then open the choke up too. Steel patterns tighter than lead. Plated lead shot, like the copper and nickel plated shot in Federal Premium will tend to pattern tighter than plain lead shot in value-priced loads because the un-plated shot will have more deformation. But these are all general rules. You only find specifics by shooting paper and testing.

New PF-Logoed Prairie Storm 100 Round Carry Pack
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011
New for pheasant hunters this fall from Federal Premium Ammunition is a 100 round carry pack of the Prairie Storm pheasant load – perfect for any Rooster Road Trip.
The large packs are available at Cabela's, and only in lead shot (the hunters on Pheasants Forever's Rooster Road Trip will be shooting only the new Prairie Storm steel, as to avoid regulatory confusion when hunting five states in five days, including an assortment of public areas). But if your own Rooster Road Trip includes many hunters or many days, or both, the carry pack could be just the ticket.
In line with all of Federal Premium's Prairie Storm products, this bulk pack is emblazoned with a Pheasants Forever logo, meaning with each box sold, a donation will be made to Pheasants Forever in support of the organization's wildlife habitat conservation efforts.
Follow Pheasants Forever's Rooster Road Trip 2011 at www.RoosterRoadTrip.org, on Facebook , YouTube, and Twitter (#rrt11).

Prairie Storm Steel Travels at 1600 Feet per Second
Wednesday, October 19th, 2011
When you miss a pheasant, is it because you shot behind the bird?
It's been my experience most of my missed shots (and the misses of others I'm hunting with) are the result of shooting behind fast-moving roosters. Enter Federal Ammo's new Prairie Storm Steel which travels at a whopping 1600 feet per second (fps). Wowzers, that's fast! And blistering compared to the many other upland loads on the market which offer just 1200 to 1300 fps.
North Dakota has an earlier pheasant opener than most states, and Jesse Beckers, Pheasants Forever's Regional Wildlife Biologist there, has been upland hunting and using Prairie Storm Steel for three weeks. "That stuff rocks. I've never had steel shot perform so well. I've got buddies starting to buy it and thought people would like to know that it's performing awesome in North Dakota."
Next time you're in the ammo aisle of your favorite sporting goods store, check out the stats on the boxes of bird shot. No other load comes close to the 12 gauge Prairie Storm Steel's 1600 feet per second.
On top of that fast fact, Federal makes a donation to Pheasants Forever's wildlife habitat conservation efforts for each and every box of Federal shells sold featuring the PF logo, including Prairie Storm and Prairie Storm Steel.

What Makes Prairie Storm Steel Different From Black Cloud?
Thursday, September 22nd, 2011
Federal Premium has unveiled its new upland load for 2011, Prairie Storm® FS Steel®. Federal's Black Cloud waterfowl loads, which employ similar technology, have been on the market for a few years, and I know many uplanders who, especially on combo hunts, have used Black Cloud loads for pheasants. So how do they differ?
First, let's look at the similarities. Both Black Cloud and Prairie Strom Steel have Premium Steel round pellets and FLITESTOPPER pellets. The FLITESTOPPER pellets have sharp, Saturn-like rings around them that really wreak some havoc and create a killing wound channel. Both also contain the FLITECONTROL wad, which is designed to hold the shot and release it at various determined distances to produce a more consistent pattern.
Now, the differences. First is the ratio of Premium Steel vs. FLITESTOPPER pellets. Black Cloud has a 60/40 mix, with 40 percent being FLITESTOPPER pellets. The FLITESTOPPER pellets actually fly different than your standard round pellets to give duck hunters greater killing power at longer ranges. The Prairie Storm Steel loads have a 50/50 mix of the two pellet types. This is due to the fact that shots at a flushing rooster are typically closer, giving you a denser pattern at rooster range!
Next, the FLITECONTROL wad. This really is the magic of the Black Cloud and Prairie Storm loads. There is a crazy rear braking effect which holds the pellets for a controlled release, giving you a specific pattern for the birds you are after. Federal Premium engineered the cuts in the wad to adjust the distance at which the cup will release the pellet load. With the Black Cloud loads the wad will hold the load out to around 15 feet before falling off, giving you a denser pattern at the longer ranges. With the Prairie Storm Steel loads the FLITECONTROL wad will drop off between 7 and 10 feet allowing the pattern to open up more at closer rooster ranges. Pretty cool stuff.
Now if you're also a duck hunter, like me (and 40 percent of Pheasants Forever members), your mind starts to wander to decoying mallards or a hunt in green timber where your shots become closer – you may want to try the Prairie Storm Steel for those tight ducks! Wow, I may have given the folks at Federal a million dollar idea…and remember, a portion of the proceeds from each box of Prairie Storm Steel sold go directly to Pheasants Forever's conservation efforts. Again, pretty cool stuff.

Packing a Suitcase Warm Enough for a Pheasant Hunt on the North Pole
Thursday, December 9th, 2010
In September, I blogged about my early season hunting clothes selections in a post titled A Bird Hunter's Suitcase: Everything but Underwear. As you read today's post, I'm headed west for my fourth visit to SoDak this pheasant season. On this particular trip, I'll be hunting with FAN Outdoors radio host "The Captain" Billy Hildebrand in temps approaching zero, so I thought it appropriate to detail my favorite late season duds.
By the way, please tune in to www.KFAN.com this Thursday evening from 7 to 8PM CST and this Saturday morning from 6 to 8AM CST for live broadcasts from the pheasant fields of Aberdeen, South Dakota.
Beretta Wind Barrier Sweater: If I were stuck on a polar ice cap, this is the piece of clothing I'd want with me. There is no hyperbole in the statement that this is the single warmest, most efficient, best piece of hunting clothing I've ever owned. ALL SIZES NOW IN STOCK.
Boyt Base Layers: I used to be an Under Armour guy until I started wearing Boyt's merino wool zippered top. There exists no more comfortable "long underwear" item than this one. The other notch in the belt is that Boyt supports conservation groups like Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever and Ruffed Grouse Society.
Boyt Heavy-Weight Uplander Socks: Speaking of our friends at Boyt, they make a heckuva good pair of toe-coverers. Tired of socks that slide down your boot? This pair ain't cheap, but how much would you pay for warm feet on a hunting trip?
Stormy Kromer: As a native Yooper, it's my duty to don the cap of the northwoods even in the pheasant field.
Wrangler Upland Jeans: When it comes to comfortable pants, I'm a jeans guy and these are the best out there.
Filson Tin Cloth Chaps: If there's heavy snow, then I throw these babies over my jeans and the snow just slides off without ever melting . . . in other words, my jeans never get wet and cold because Filson chaps protect my legs like armor.
PF's Leather Trophy Gloves: I like to feel the safety and trigger, so I go with unlined gloves. These babies will keep me warm as long as the temps don't sink below freezing.
Browning Strap Vest: I have short arms, so I am really conscious of bulky clothing to enable quick shouldering of my scattergun. Consequently, I'm a guy that likes to wear strap vests. Thanks to the warmth of my Beretta Wind Barrier Sweater, I can afford a game bag that doesn't come in coat form.
Danner Santiam Boots: I have two pairs of these bad boys. They are warm and comfortable. Unfortunately, Danner discontinued this model in the spring. I've been told they are bringing it back . . . but so far it's not appeared on their website. This bums me out because both of my pairs won't survive till the 2011 opener.
Pendelton Wool Board Shirt: I discovered these 100 percent wool shirts on the closeout rack of a local mom & pop sporting goods store last spring. BEST DISCOVERY EVER! Talk about the perfect shirt for cold weather hunting. The only downside is the exorbitant price. If you can find them on sale, buy six.
Prairie Storm: Want late season power that will reach out and grab those "educated" roosters? Here you go! I was in Gander Mountain last night and there are still a few boxes left.
Garmin Astro: I've got my new toy along for this trip too.
Snowshoes: Ever tried to walk through two feet of snow? These babies will save you from a heart attack. Honest; you'll be surprised at how much easier your walking will be, and you'll be surprised by the balance.
See you on the airwaves this evening and on Saturday morning bright and early at 6AM!

I'm Dreaming of a White Pheasant Hunt
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010
While the fine folks in Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado may disagree, I consider December 1st the beginning of late season pheasant hunting. By now, most states' roosters have been flushed a time or two. Many have evaded canines and errant shooting. Along with the birds' "education," I believe the arrival of snow changes the game for bird dog and hunter. As I write this evening, I've just finished packing for a South Dakota pheasant trip where 6 to 8 inches of snow is expected to fall by the time I arrive. Here are some of the flurries in my head:
Fresh Snow
Only opening day fills me with more excitement than the morning after the season's first snow fall. It's been my experience the birds move to thermal cover (cattails, thickets, willows, shelter belts, etc.) as soon as the snow falls and they hold tight that first morning. For a hunter with a close working pup, it can be magical. The other benefit of a fresh snow is the ability to see tracks. Not only can you locate where the birds are, you can also eliminate where they're not. I don't know about you, but when I KNOW the birds are there, I focus better on being ready and shoot with more accuracy.
Crusty Snow
In my opinion, snow that's been on the ground long enough to develop an icy crust creates the most difficult conditions to hunt. Not only does it make the walking tough, but each step is a warning blast to "educated" roosters planning their escape hundreds of yards out of your gun's reach.
At 5'7″ (some would say I'm only 5'6″), I have short legs for busting cattails. However, I am just tall enough to get poked right in the face with every pointed cattail spear. I also have a long-legged grassland running pointing dog ill-suited to busting cattails. Cattails are my least favorite part of pheasant hunting. No matter how much I protest, I know one simple fact: pheasants love cattails sloughs, especially in the winter.
Cold Hands
Like any hunter, I am very focused on keeping my hands warm enough to have a good feel on my shotgun. I've found that these leather gloves keep me warm on days with temps into the single digits. If it drops below zero, then I keep the leather trophy glove on my trigger hand and jump up to a heavier wool glove for my other hand.
Sweaty Back
I also battle with being warm enough to comfortably start the day's hunt, but also try to prevent dressing so warm that I start sweating heavily during the hunt. This isn't a major issue if you're just hunting one spot all day, but most of the time I hunt multiple spots in a day and have to jump in the truck to get from spot one to two to three; try staying warm as you emerge from the truck to hunt spot #3 with a sweaty back and soaked clothes. Certainly Under Armour and merino wool base layers that wick moisture away from your body have made major advances; however, I am still a firm believer that the key is layering. The minute I start to feel a little too warm, I yank off a jacket and tie it to my game vest. I probably average five different layers of clothing on a cold weather day of hunting.
Ice Covered Utopia
Hard water isn't just for ice fishermen anymore. Frozen ground opens up acres upon acres of public ground and roosters that have been protected by those hunters in fear of soggy feet for the first couple months of the season.
If forced to choose between early season and late season, I admit to being an early season October and November fan first. That being said, I'd certainly rather it be late season than the off season. So here I come snowy South Dakota. I've got my Stormy Kromer, a new pair of gloves and a box of Prairie Storm.

Federal Premium's New Black Cloud Snow Goose Ammo
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
Since I'm just waiting on a phone call from my brother to boogie out of the city, my mind is one tracking it on light geese today. For those of you also considering chasing these wary birds this spring and later during the fall, Federal Premium Black Cloud ammunition has new loads designed especially for you.
Black Cloud Snow Goose loads feature the same proven FLITECONTROL Wad and FLITESTOPPER® (FS) Steel to hit geese at longer ranges. The new 1-1/8 ounce, 3″ 12-gauge (#2 and BB) loads feature a muzzle velocity of 1635 fps for added effective range. These Snow Goose loads are available in stores now. Federal Premium's new Prairie Storm pheasant loads utilize this same Black Cloud technology, so it's a great way to get acquainted until Prairie Storm is available this summer.

The Iowa Board of Parole voted 3-0 on Wednesday to release Heidi Anfinson. She pleaded guilty in 2009 to multiple acts of child endangerment in the drowning of her 2-week-old son whose body was found in Saylorville Lake. She was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Anfinson served nine years of a previous 50-year sentence for second-degree murder when the Iowa Supreme Court granted her a new trial.
Supporters say Anfinson was suffering from severe postpartum depression at the time of her son's death.
Anfinson will be on parole until October 2013 and is restricted from living or working with minors.

Welcome to the Saddlebrooke Ranch Pickleball Association (SBRPA). We are eager to share our love for the game of pickleball with you. The majority of our members have less than one year of experience playing pickleball, and beginners are regularly being welcomed into the group.
Members of our association play both recreational and competitive pickleball. Some members have chosen to compete in local pickleball tournaments. However, competitive play is not a requirement! We enjoy the competitive aspects of the game, but we always play to have fun!
If you have never played pickleball before, come on out and try it. Check out the Courts Calendar for days and times for "Beginners" sessions during which there will be a coach on hand to teach you the basics.
If you have played before, we look forward to meeting you and learning from your pickleball experience! Check out the Courts Calendar page to see when the courts are reserved.
Mark Friedenberg, a nationally recognized pickleball expert and 5.0 rated player, presented a clinic to our club in the Spring of 2013. The clinic was recorded, edited, and presented on this site as streaming video. The results became the inspiration for a new website for Friedenberg aimed at offering video lessons on all aspects of the game, including shot mechanics and selection, strategy, court positioning, error avoidance, and game knowledge. The clinic videos continue to be offered on the SaddleBrooke Ranch Pickleball website at not cost to club members. The general public can view the same videos for a fee at Winning Pickleball.

text: Has anyone else noticed that a certain subject will be covered in a magazine article, for instance, and then over a span of several days the subject will be covered on TV, in the newspaper and online in pieces that are seemingly disconnected? This happened several months ago in regard to medical personnel and hand washing, or the absence thereof. Now, the same is occurring on the topic of bad behavior by medical professionals in employment settings. Julie Salamon, author of Hospital, spoke to the issue in her recently released book and later wrote a piece on the bad behavior/lack of respect problem in hospitals that appeared in the Los Angeles Times. It was my reading of that article that influenced my writing a post to this blog on the subject. Shortly after that, an RN friend who manages a surgery center lamented that she was stressed by a situation in her workplace involving a surgical tech's bad attitude toward her. The female tech doesn't hesitate to voice her displeasure regarding decisions made by the RN, doing so in a hateful tone of voice. She turns on her heel and stomps away like a spoiled child when conversations end in her not getting her way. Two days after hearing my RN friend's story, the New York Times ran an article that addressed bad attitudes within the medical community. Now, I've received an e-mail from a friend in another state who commented that she had read with interest a piece on the NurseZone Web site about bullying in hospitals. Disrespect is a problem in the OR where she works, she said, and her director is constantly trying to keep the troublemakers in line. She expressed amazement that two-year certified scrub techs (all male) are talking down to the surgeons and getting away with it. Why, all of a sudden, is bad behavior a hot topic? Are incidents more prevalent? Are we, like Peter Finch in Network, mad as h*ll and not going to take it anymore? Or, as in my case, are we simply incredulous and outraged that bad behavior is being tolerated, even a little bit. I realize that legalities have put a stranglehold on management where swift termination is concerned, but surely a surly employee could be put on probation or "written up" in some way in a prompt fashion. When I questioned the out-of-state RN as to why continuing problems in her OR are not squelched by firing, she mentioned the fine legal line management must walk and the mounds of documentation required to take such action. She also revealed that some surgeons put up with bad attitudes because the techs exhibiting those attitudes possess excellent technical skills valued by the doctors. Her director, she says, does not want to incur the wrath of prominent surgeons who want exceptional assistants and is, therefore, reluctant to tell the offenders that they must change their behavior or risk being terminated. As a result, the techs wield a surprising degree of power and control in the OR. The most important point that this RN made is that resentment and avoidance among the surgical team damages communication and a lack of communication can lead to a sentinel event (an accident or near miss) during surgery. "Communication is vital," she said. "We have a set surgical team in every room and if even one person isn't communicating it is a problem." Is bad behavior a problem in your work place? Are solutions being attempted? Tell me about it.

Although it happened well over a decade ago, I can still vividly remember the day I traded in my Super Nintendo and a shoebox full of cartridges for a brand-spanking-new Nintendo 64.
It came from an indie games store that was run by a bearded man with an encyclopaedic knowledge of videogames. Rather than simply palming me off with the barebones console and a copy of Super Mario 64, he convinced me to buy the special edition GoldenEye pack - complete with a golden controller that eventually died from 'limp analogue stick' syndrome after years of waggling abuse.
My early teens then became synonymous with Mario Kart 64 weekends gathered around a 14-inch portable TV and nights spent hunting for heart pieces in Ocarina Of Time. Sadly, my quest was hindered by a third-party strategy guide that was about as helpful as a space-hopper in a minefield.
Yet despite offering some of the most amazing games of its generation - including Turok 2 and Jet Force Gemini - I was slightly disappointed by the lack of RPG output for the N64, especially after such a strong showing on the SNES. Thankfully, there was an action-RPG that provided my adolescent self with some much-needed sustenance.
Heavens above
Released by Konami back in September 1999, Hybrid Heaven immediately stood out with its sci-fi boxart, which depicted a cast of anime-style characters standing in front of an eerie blue glow. Liberating the cardboard box from the shelf then revealed a condensed blurb that promised everything from alien invasions, scientific experimentation and murder to unravelling the future of humanity and the true identity of yourself.
The latter wasn't talking about a journey of self discovery for the player - as some young and impressionable gamers may have assumed at the time - but was instead referring to the plight of Hybrid Heaven's protagonist. The opening sequence sees your character, the blond Diaz, assassinating a man in a New York subway station before being dragged to an underground complex by a pair of sinister-looking suits.
It's then revealed that an alien force is using an army of clones and hybrids to replace all the officials in the White House, with the ultimate goal being to switch the president for an otherworldly facsimile in a diabolical scheme that resonates with both Blade Runner and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. There's also some mystery surrounding the identity of our flaxen-haired protagonist, and it's only as the game progresses that you learn his true place in the gene-splicing story.
Based on the narrative alone, Hybrid Heaven isn't a top contender for rose-tinted praise, finding itself unable to challenge the epic yarns spun by the heavy hitters of gaming. In terms of graphical clout, it doesn't push the N64 to its limits either - even with the optional Expansion Pak. But by combining elements from a surprisingly broad range of genres, this game was exponentially more than the sum of its parts.
Even when played today, it reminds us of a time when the industry was young and openly experimental, rather than obsessed with sequential numbers. It also enables you to perform a piledriver on a hybrid monster that looks like an undead horse. And you have to admit that that's something many modern games are missing.
The bulk of the gameplay has you searching the depths of the alien base while using your trusty Defuser pistol to take out electrical equipment, such as floating laser drones and scurrying mines. There are platforming sections where you have to vault perilous pitfalls and run from charging beasts as well.
But the real challenge comes from the hand-to-hand fighting system, which has you edging Diaz around a 3D arena while selecting punches, kicks and wrestling moves from a pop-up menu. While that may sound bizarre on paper, it offers a surprising degree of strategy and creativity, since you learn new moves by having them performed against you.
Hybrid by nature
It's a unique fighting system that injects a wealth of RPG elements into the formula. For instance, in addition to having an offensive and defensive rating for each limb, your individual fighting moves can be levelled up by using them consistently.
So if you rely on fancy footwork rather than Running Headlocks and Elbow Backbreakers, your field of expertise will develop around kickboxing strikes rather than grappling techniques. You also have to gauge the fighting style of each grotesque opponent you meet, as while the humanoid pigs will try to tenderise you with a barrage of punches, the reptilian mutants will try to dislocate your shoulder with a sneaky Armbar. Bloody hybrids!
Which leaves the question, why isn't Hybrid Heaven lovingly inscribed in the annals of retro gaming history? Well, it's probably a combination of a slightly bland presentation, a steep learning curve and the fallout of being too different for its own good in terms of mass appeal.
But as a unique and thoroughly enjoyable adventure that proved the terms 'N64' and 'great RPG' were not mutually exclusive before the belated arrival of Paper Mario in the UK, Hybrid Heaven is a rare example of gaming surgery that works medical wonders. You just have to look past the scars and protruding neck bolts.

Phillipsburg, N.J., honors those who protect our nation
Updated On: Nov 12 2012 05:37:53 AM CST
Sunday was the day we honor the men and women who protect our nation: Veterans Day. One ceremony in Phillipsburg, N.J., included service members serving far from home.
As a Blackhawk chopper landed outside Phillipsburg High, inside the school's gym, there was a solemn tribute to those who already served.
"My stepfather here, Mike, is an ex-Marine," said Charles Dale. "Former Marine."
The ceremony also honored those still fighting, including a video feed from two local service members serving far from home.
"Good morning," Ensign Will Rimmler told the crowd by video conference from the U.S.S. Morganthau in California. "I guess it's good afternoon out there."
Rimmler is a 2008 Phillipsburg High graduate who thanked the veterans who came before him.
"Thank you for your service, thank you for the sacrifices that you've made," he told them.
For the young, Sunday's ceremony was a chance to honor earlier generations.
"I am very, very, very proud of my grandfather," said Brittany Luckenbach.
"It's great to see young kids actually involved in something that happened so long ago," added Martin Altemose, a New Jersey National Guard member.
For the older generation, it was a chance to reflect.
"It's a great thing to be remembered," said retired Marine Ron Adams. "You were glad that you were in the military, knowing that the country appreciated everything that you did."

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Is there any limit on the maximum number of products in a file for an import. I have about 3000 products with a total file size of 13mb and the error always says:
"Could not load file: "/home/rawpubli/public_html/var/import/BG_General_File_Imported.xml"
Any help please?
figured this out.
Just in case anyone else comes across this, the problem is most likely:
- Incorrect permissions on your csv
- Incorrect permissions on your ./var subfolders
Try setting them to 777 (or 644, but that often doesn't work when a script needs to read and write to a file).
For what it is worth, I also ran into trouble importing thousands of products. I created csv files with about 20k - 50k rows, then I went to upload and it would time out on me. I installed a php.ini file in the Magento directory and fiddled with some settings… which ones were they…
Here it is:
; Resource Limits ;
max_execution_time = 36000 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)
I set my execution time, input time, and memory limits way high so that I could import huge files. Once I get things running properly, I'll probably choke those back so I don't make any queries performed by the user too painstakingly long.
That is how I solved my first import problem.
But, I have another one. I am going to post a new thread right now.
We'd like to hear from you! Call us, send us an email or talk to sales.

Don't mean to sound rude, but it was such an overpriced place, and often was mediocre. I quit spending my $$ there last year. I wish them luck w/future ventures and continued luck w/FSC, but glad they closed.

I agree with the first comment.
We really wanted to support the cause, so to speak, but the prices became ridiculous, the quality declined & the service degraded to terrible. We felt as if we were paying for Jesse Cool's kitchen remodel. Talk about a bail out!
I also sincerely wish JZC luck, but will not return to any of her restaurants until we learn that the prices - @ least of a few entrees - go down in price, & the service improves.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)--The Magnolia Mini Mart is the latest victim of the city's nuisance ordinance, and Knoxville police have one message for other "trouble businesses": straighten up!
KPD spokesman Darrell DeBusk said, "we are looking at some additional locations that continue to operate, knowingly violating the law and allowing illegal activities to go on on their properties, and we're going to keep watching those."
People in the neighborhood told us the Mini Mart shut down was overdue.
"It should have happened way long ago. Even before that owner got there that was a bad spot," said one man, who wanted to remain anonymous.
DeBusk said, "you have multiple calls, you have multiple kinds of incidents including robberies, stabbings, carjackings, thefts..."
He said that kind of activity makes businesses targets under the nuisance ordinance. So far they've shut down 10, and they're on the lookout for more.

A clunky disappointmentNADINE HANCOCK
BOOK REVIEW: The Eye of Minds
By James Dashner (Doubleday Childrens, RRP $27)
James Dashner may be better known for his bestselling dystopic Maze Runner series. He returns with The Eye of Minds, the first in his new series, The Mortality Doctrine.
Set in the not-so-distant future, The Eye of Minds follows Michael and his friends into the VirtNet, a virtual reality gaming series where anything can happen. Michael, known for his awesome hacking skills, is recruited by VNS, the governing body of VirtNet, to hunt down Kaine, a dangerous hacker slowly taking over VirtNet with deadly consequences.
As a fan of Dashner's Maze Runner series, I was excited to read his next body of work. The plot sounded appealing, and as it was set it yet another dystopic world, I was keen to get stuck in. Sadly, my eagerness quickly turned to disappointed.
The problem with a story that throws you straight into the plot is that there is no character development. This resulted in my lack of regard for Michael, his friends, the big baddie or the governing body.
Ironically, the characters and the world were one dimensional. This, combined with a clunky plot and narrative, made it easy to skip passages.
