North Kingstown Things to Do
When we lived in RI, we visited Smith's Castle which is one of the oldest houses in RI. It is a saltbox house on Mill Cove and Cocumscussoc Brook. The house address is Wickford and there is an additional tip at the URL below. That tip has a link to a map.
Richard Smith's original 1637 building was a trading post.. It was burned at the time of the King Philip's wars in 1676. (King Philip was the sachem of the Wompanoags). Forty colonial soldiers who were killed in the war are buried in a mass grave near here.
Richard Smith, Jr built a new home in 1678. According to tradition, many timbers salvaged from the burned blockhouse were reused in the construction of the new house. When Smith died childless in 1692, he bequeathed Cocumscussoc to his nephew Captain Lodowick Updike and Lodowick's wife Abigail Newton Updike. Lodowick and Abigail were first cousins and grandchildren of the elder Richard Smith.
Around 1740, Lodowick's son Daniel remodeled by removing the facade gables, projecting front porch, installing an elegant entry staircase, expanding the lean-to kitchen, paneled walls, and encased some beams, so that the house appeared much as it does today.
It was transformed into a modern dairy farm in 1919 by the Fox family. After Mr. Fox's death the home fell into neglect and suffered vandalism. It was purchased in 1948 by the Cocumscussoc Association.
At the time we visited, the house was painted red. It is now painted white.
An admission of $5.00 for adults and $1.00 for children 6–12 is charged to tour the house. Children under 6 and members are admitted free.
Guided House Tours
Docents in period clothing provide interpretive tours of the house at 12:15, 1:30, 2:15, and 3:00 as follows

This traditional garden that we saw in the 1970s looks quite different today. The URI Master Gardeners have transformed it into an 18th Century Garden, by growing many of the same plants that would have been present in a similar garden during the 18th Century.
Sustainable practices include such items as crushed stone walkways and mulch to retain moisture, reduce watering needs, and reduce weeds. Where possible naturally disease and pest resistant plant varieties are used.Related to:

North Kingstown Off The Beaten Path
Admission to the Castle grounds is free and they are open for picnicing. When we went there were flower borders around the lawns in front of the house.
Now, the Castle gardens and grounds use sustainable landscaping methods overseen by the URI Master Gardeners. In this area they have Shoreland buffers, aka riparian buffers. These buffers control stormwater runoff.
Sustainable landscaping also includes using or encouraging natural vegetation instead of the lawns and flower beds that were there when we visited. It is felt that natural vegetation helps slow down stormwater runoff so that it can filter into the ground. The plants can help to remove some pollutants.
Shoreland buffers also provide habitat for many species. Trees in the buffer zone provide shade which helps keep the water cool. Cool water stores more oxygen than warm water

To make the passange to Providence along the west side of Narragansett Bay safer, this 54 foot tall cast-iron lighthouse was built using the pnuematic caisson method There are only 11 lighthouses built by this way. The fourth order Fresnel lens was illuminated on July 1, 1899.
Some visitors came by boat (and this is the best way to see the lighthouse today), but others swam. The Lighthouse Swim became an annual event in the 20s.
On September 21, 1938, it was becoming obvious that a major storm was on the way. When the keepers looked out a window, they saw a yacht passing by "at 60 miles per hour."
The keepers took refuge in the fourth level of the lighthouse, only to see .. wrecked boats and buildings .. sweeping past them. The 30-foot waves broke open a door in the tower, washing away furniture and the station's boats. The two men went as high as they could, to the fog bell room. There they lashed themselves, back to back, to the pipe that contained the weights for the clockwork mechanism that rotated the lens. They felt a gigantic wave,.. strike the lighthouse.. but they survived..Seven people at lighthouses in the general area were killed in the Hurricane of '38, and several lighthouses were destroyed or irrevocably damaged.
The bridge built in 1941 from North Kingston to Jamestown Island made the lighthouse obsolete and it was abandoned. It got rusty and the birds took over. The Coast Guard tried to give it to the state, but the state refused to take it.
In 1973, after this picture was taken, someone was hired to paint the lighthouse, but he became ill from the guano.
Eventually, the lighthouse was restored by the Friends of Plum Beach Lighthouse. After the exterior was restored, 52 tons of pigeon guano was removed from inside the tower.
The interior has not yet been restored, but the Bay Queen Cruises, 461 Water Street , Gate #4, Warren, RI has several lighthouse cruises a year. The lighthouse has been put back in service as an active aid to navigation.Related to:

I agree that Veronica is amazing. Without her I can't imagine what would have happen. They still have a lot of details to work out and most of them are in their US office. I could ONLY pay in the US with bank check or money order. As I spoke to already no one could give me an exact price.
I agree can't give enough credit to Veronica and she really tried to overcome the poor process her empoler has. Not her fault. I think it is a safe call to go with them. With one caution: If you contact then and Veronica is no longer there;
How was the rest of your trip? Anyone new trips in the near future?

When we got there, the helpfulness continued. Paying was a hassle (cash or wire transfer only - I managed to get enough cash from ATM's and the handler drove me to the banks and back with the cash). Veronica finally figured out that you could pay for the shipping with a credit card through their American branch and that was how Henry paid. They let us hang out in their office, use the internet as needed, and the printers. I'm sad to say I forget his name, but the handler (for lack of a better term) stayed with me at the airport for probably 5 hours getting my motorcycle checked in.
The headaches occurred on the US end. First off, you can't legally walk out of the Miami airport so cab ride #1 to Centurion cargo to pick up the paperwork. At this point, I was told amount of the destination fee ($40) and that they wouldn't take anything but a money order or wire transfer. I walked to the Western Union across the street and they couldn't do a money order (system down I was told). I walked from there to my hotel since it was on the way and called a cab to go to customs from there. The f*%king cab company kept saying they were just a few minutes away and kept dicking around until it was too late to make it to customs by closing.
Next morning, it's off to customs (cab ride #2) and I get my release paperwork. Cab ride #3 to a different Western Union for the money order and then from there to Centurion. Somewhere about $50 for all the cab rides.
The big hassle is paying the destination fee - they need to work something out on that.
So I give Lyn Cargo a big thumbs up
as they were WAY WAY WAY more helpful than anyone else in Columbia. Especially Veronica

" - Kunal Kohli said he is "phenomenal" in the movie, while Ashutosh Gowariker found him "outstanding".
Rohit Shetty's "Bol Bachchan" was screened for Bollywood Thursday. The guest liked the slapstick comedy as well as Ajay Devgn and others performances, but Abhishek impressed them the most. The film has hit screens Friday.
This is what they have to say:
Kunal Kohli: It was absolutely hilarious. I think Rohit Shetty and team have done an outstanding job. Abhishek is phenomenal, Ajay is also fantastic. Everyone has done a great job. I was laughing so much, my jaws are still hurting.
Ashutosh Gowariker: Very good, a riotous film, very funny. I think Ajay and Abhishek are brilliant in the film. The entire cast is brilliant but I found Abhishek outstanding.
Suniel Shetty: Mind blowing! Abhishek's best performance. Abhishek at his best and I was reminded of Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) in his young days. Ajay is also fantastic. The whole film is outstanding and according to me, it should be the year's biggest grosser. I don't believe in Rs.100 crore or Rs.200 crore, but it is a true entertainer.
Prakash Jha: It's sheer madness, lovely, brilliant film. He (Rohit Shetty) has surpassed his "Golmaal".
Meanwhile, Abhishek is overwhelmed with the response.
"So far the response has been fantastic. You can see I am smiling. I am very, very happy that initial screenings have gone well. The audience will watch it now and fingers crossed," the 36-year-old said at the screening.
When told that his work is being appreciated the most, Abhishek said: "Thank you for saying this. I hope the audience also loves it. Everyone has worked hard and it feels great when you ask such questions."
The film also stars Asin Thottumkal and Prachi Desai.

Linux viewed as XP replacement
Computer users on the defunct Windows XP do not have to buy costly upgrades to bolster their security but can download an alternative program for free, a computer expert has said.
Microsoft retired the Windows XP operating system last month which made the software unsupported and open to viruses and cyber attacks.
St Luke's Church Reverend Derek Harding, who has more than 30 years experience working in the IT industry in Europe, said the Linux program was free and proved to be more secure than Windows 7.
However, BP Computers operational manager Brad Clark said Linux was not mainstream and would frustrate computer users that weren't technically savvy.
Small business and home computer users on XP who used their computer for security related tasks such as emailing or internet banking were no longer secure after April 8.
Harding said the free Linux system which is popular in America, Europe and China looks similar to Windows and can be used for security related tasks.
The most common version, Linux Mint, can be downloaded from linuxmint.com .

People don't use operating systems, they use applications – and when someone is still on Windows XP, it's safe to assume that their software does not run on Linux and in many cases maybe not even on Windows 7.
Just because MS no longer supports XP (at least not for free) does not make XP "defunct". It very much still works – it will only become a security problem over time.
Since when is Mint the most common flavor of Linux? Distrowatch is not even remotely a reliable source for such statistics.
Generally, I think it's nonsense to try and sell Linux as an alternative to XP. Like that quote from Steve Jobs says: People don't use operating systems, they use applications. And Linux cannot be an alternative when the applications won't run on it. For most people, it will simply be more cost effective to buy a Windows 7 or Windows 8 license than it will be to migrate to Linux.
Trying to advertise Linux as a drop-in replacement for XP simply is not a good idea.
What kind of article is this? Linux Mint is nowhere near the most common GNU+Linux system, and I expect any author on Full Circle Magazine to know that.
I agree with these comments on a few levels.
1) Yes, Those still using XP probably have programs that ONLY run on XP.
2) Yes, only those "technically" asstute will be able to deal with LINUX
On the other hand, as the friend/family techie who never gets paid I would find alternatives for "XP ONLY" programs and as far as "more cost effective to just get Win7/8″, the only reason most do not JUST DO IT is they cannot afford new hardware (which, apparently is the only way Windows can keep itself secure, i.e. UEFI firmware that in many cases cannot deal with backward installing Win7 – HP2000 for example)
And that then leaves the SUGGESTED 2GB ram that many old machines do not have and are not worth it because the video is also marginal.
That leaves a low resource for my "associates" who will then not call ME for malware, "whats this message I get from my anti-virus", "Why is this so slow", "I got all these POPUPS and I don't know where they came from".
From experience, I put them on Lubuntu or Pepperment (Yeah, Mint is for BETTER systems, I agree, not dogs) and then they do not nearly call me as much, And THAT is reason alone to suggest Linux.
If they want to play games, suggest an XBOX. If they want a system that makes their cheap-brand computer they thought was a "good deal" actually work then LINUX it is or they can call the computer guy at $50-$100 an hour to deal with their stubbornness.
The fact that my "associates" will no longer be savvy enough to download every piece of eye-candy software that causes more issues then most security issues will is a GOOD THING! That's how most ended up with slow, infected systems in the first place.
Do make me have to use my elderly mom as an example.
Yeah, distrowatch seems a little shaky with their "popularity votes" but I'd wish someone would suggest or publish a better resource.

Recently, the National Council of Educational Research and Training's (NCERT) department of women studies found some elements of gender stereotyping in NCERT textbooks. The analysis of 18 textbooks shows "men mainly in a variety of professions and women as homemakers, teachers, nurses and doctors".
The report notes that "women are shown as teachers, cooks, doctors and nurses reflecting an extension of household work". Men are "depicted in multiple professions, as pilot, artists, astronauts, magicians, rulers."
According to the latest global gender gap index published by the World Economic Forum, India ranks 101 out of 136 countries. India's rank for economic participation and opportunity is an appalling 124.
Gender stereotypes, like most stereotypes are the manifestation of the perceivers' observation of a particular group indulging in a specific behaviour, activity over a period of time. Eventually, these stereotypes get re-enforced by cognitive and social mechanism. A large majority of stereotypes get inculcated in our psyche during our formative years from parents, teachers and the media.
The view that particular jobs are suitable for a particular gender is a notion that has been nurtured and perpetuated by cultures and further reinforced by media. The traditional "women belongs to hearth" stereotypical attitude has deep cultural roots.
Gender equality in India has attracted considerable attention from scholars who have peered through sociological, economic lens about the underpinnings of the gender inequality in the nation where women are apotheosised as goddess (Natrajan, 2001). However, research on gender stereotyping is clearly lagging. (Khandelwal, 2002), studied organisations in India and found male managers are stereotyped as working in production, sales whereas women are stereotyped as working in 'soft fields' like HR, PR. (Punia, 2005) found that women have moved outside their traditional roles however, and that male managers were found 'least satisfied' when they had female bosses.
Sujoya Basu's (Basu, 2008) Gender Stereotypes in Corporate India affirms that gender stereotypes relegate women to a secondary position in most Indian corporations. The Indian manager is a vehement proponent of the 'think manager-think male' ideology, more so than his international counterparts.
Gender stereotyping in recruitment is a vicious self-fulfilling circle. Discriminatory hiring practices send misleading signals to women about the kind of jobs they are suitable for, in turn dampening or muffling their aspirations. Women construct their identities through the lens of these gender stereotypes and willingly accept their disadvantaged place in the workforce. (Ridgeway, 1997)
Most people are not cognisant of the role played by mass media in perpetuating and reinforcing stereotypical notions in recruitment advertisement. Initially most academic research was done on recruitment ad campaigns of US companies, where regulations exist against gender discrimination in advertising. (Perry, 1993) asserted that keywords present in job advertising are considered evidence of hiring bias. Recruitment advertising exposes the real intentions an organisation has towards gender stereotyping and organisational segregation based on gender. An organisation might be very politically correct in their ad and PR campaigns but if their job advertisements don't reflect that commitment to fair hiring practices, then all talk of giving equal opportunities and equality is just sham.
There have been few studies regarding gender stereotyping in Asia that have clearly demonstrated the prevalence of gender stereotyping in those nations. However, up until now there hasn't been any research on gender stereotyping in recruitment in India.
So, to do something regarding that, I took classifieds 'situations vacant' section of a leading national daily on a Sunday in November 2012, December 2012 and January 2013, and did a detailed content analysis of the ads. A stereotyping index based on four variables viz; mention of gender, sex specific term, age and photograph (either required with application or the presence of a photograph along with the print advertisement) to code gender stereotyping in job recruitment ads.
Research confirmed 77% of the total ads that had a gender specific term recruited only females (Anand, 2013). Least gender stereotyping was observed in jobs that required specialised skills and technical education like IT, engineering and medicine.
Secretary/front office assistant, telecaller, sales(man) and manager claimed the top spot in gender stereotyping.
Gender stereotyping in recruitment ads for receptionists ranged from the benign 'Receptionist only – Female' to comments regarding age and attractiveness 'beautiful and broad minded(F) office assistant and personal secretary', 'up to 25' (Anand, 2013).
Receptionist has not just been relegated as a women's only zone. Recruitment advertisements have objectified the kind of women recruiters prefer. Ads have portrayed receptionist as decorative pieces in the lobby, behind the front desk of corporate offices, young beautiful and easy on the eyes.
A similar sort of story was depicted by the data on recruitment advertisements for telecaller and data entry operator position. Next to the 'FEMALE TELECALLERS' rubric was the image of a girl talking on the hands free. Now, even though there wasn't any mention of the age or physical attributes, but the picture certainly said everything the recruiters wanted to convey. Sales and field jobs were earmarked as the boys-only section, with keywords like 'field boys' and 'sales boys'.
Teachers were clearly and fairly explicitly stereotyped as female, with titles like ' Wanted TGT-FRENCH'. Though only 52% of ads that solicited for a teacher or instructor indulged in stereotyping, yet, stereotyping was clearly directed towards women with not even a single advertisement for a male teacher for schools or institutions.
The findings of the study prove beyond doubt that gender stereotyping is being used as a tool for selection and expulsion by Indian employers. Recruitment is being used for advancing occupational segregation. Also, jobs like teaching, telecaller, etc., which have been stereotyped as females don't just box females into a particular profession but also to some extent thwart opportunities for the opposite gender to go and join the same profession (Anand, 2013).
Recently, the revised companies act provisions for mandatory presence of at least one female among the board of directors of any company. However, measures like these will only bear fruit if some stern action is taken to curb gender stereotyping at the recruitment stage. Or else it will be just be shadow dressing.

CHENNAI: Hurricane Katrina's psychological effect can blow across the globe. A student from New Orleans who is now in Chennai had a harrowing week before she could get across to her parents.
"The scariest thing in my life!" This is how Naomi Chalew describes the week that traumatised her. She came to India in August on an exchange programme to study disaster management in South Asia in the wake of last year's tsunami.
Naomi, who visited Nagapattinam to collect information, could hardly imagine that a hurricane of Katrina's magnitude would tear apart her hometown.
Naomi's parents were not reachable for over a week when Katrina hit their town. "When I needed to be home, I was away. Every time I tried calling my parents' cell phones I'd get a message saying, `Due to the hurricanes, this number is not reachable.' It was terrible," she said.
After a week, Naomi was able to reach her grandparents on their cell phone. That's how she found out that her parents and siblings were safe. "Though people here were extremely sympathetic, they obviously couldn't comprehend what was going on there. I was relieved only after I got to speak to my parents," says Naomi.
Relief operations were evidently insufficient; private institutions acted quickly though, she said. Though it is difficult to point the finger at anyone, she feels the public anger with the U.S. federal Government is justified. Her parents managed to evacuate to Baltimore. Her father, a paediatrician and endocrinologist, had to shift his hospital too. "We don't know if our home's still there. My dad's hoping to go back and see."
"It was remarkable to see the country come together. Everyone did their bit. Though there were a few instances of miscommunication, the media did its best. They'd say, `You're from New Orleans, 15 % off your coffee,'" she laughs.
Naomi is planning to go home in January. "I'll hopefully get to see my home. I'll have a lot of cleaning up to do!"

Sarah Thomson purchased this house in 2007
The Grey Barn is now SOLAR! We are certified as a green business using energy efficient appliances and recyclable products. You can help by composting and recycling while you are here if you like, we make it easy! We have a farm 4 miles down the road and often drop off fresh seasonal organic vegetables to our guests. Our guests love the cheerful open nature of the house and central location to the Lake , Universities and Wine Trail.
Read the guest comments to see for yourself if this is the house for you. We hope so!
The Grey Barn is a self catering private house that you will call your home while you are here. We live 4 miles away and can help when needed or give our suggestions as to what to do while you are here.
People love the open floor plan and always say it is much larger than the pictures suggest. Guests love the comfort and decor of the house and is a real hit with reunions for families, small weddings and gatherings. I tell guests they need not bring anything except food and themselves.
Wherever you are coming from you will appreciate the relaxed atmosphere of The Grey Barn.
This is a great place to stay! We had 8 people (two kids) staying and it worked out great. They have a big upstairs for those who want a little more privacy or need more space. The whole place is clean and had bright, happy colors and artwork on the wall. They had all of the amenities that you need for a short stay, including games and such for kids. We were able to get into Ithaca within 10 minutes. I would definitely rent this place again. VRBO Referral Jenny(Chicago )
The Grey Barn is everything it promises to be, and was the perfect place for our family to gather for our daughter's wedding at Cornell. The open floor plan more than accommodated the 30+ people we entertained for a pre-wedding barbeque. (It rained that evening, and everyone HAD to be inside.) The house features a kitchen that is fully stocked with cooking and dining utensils. There is a large dining area and comfortable furniture arranged in inviting conversation circles in the great room. The owners have furnished this house with many special touches to make visitors feel completely at home; live plants, interesting artwork, family board games, radio, TV, etc. The bedrooms are large and very comfortable. Beautiful linens, comforters, pillows, and thick, soft towels are furnished. The owners are very nice and were available at all hours. The house was clean and beds were freshly made when we arrived. The landscaping is attractive and well maintained. The property is just a few minutes outside of Ithaca in a quiet, private rural area; about a 15 minute drive to The Commons downtown, or Cornell University campus. There are shopping malls, a movie theater complex and restaurants just minutes away. We would definitely rent this house again... and would stay longer next time!
The Grey Barn was the site of our daughter's college graduation celebration. The house provided plenty of rooms for our guests to stay, and a huge open concept kitchen-dining room-living room for entertainment. The house is conveniently located on the Finger Lakes, which enabled our guests to go wine tasting, sightseeing, hiking and shopping on the day before the graduation ceremony. The Grey Barn's comfortable accommodations made our stay delightful and pleased our guests. We would recommend the Grey Barn as a wonderful location for lodging and celebrating when you have an important life event.
My family and I love, I mean love it here! It is warm, clean, and beautiful! My oldest brother lives in the area, so the rest of my family and I stay at the Grey Barn, and it accommodates all of us! We have family meals- as it has a beautiful, open, warm and inviting kitchen and dining area! My parents love it when we are all together and have family breakfasts there! It is close to Cornell, Ithaca and the vineyards- which is a great thing to do during the summer!! My family and I highly recommend staying here, just not on the weekends, we plan on staying there :) Enjoy!!
The Grey Barn was a wonderful place to stay. All the rooms were comfortable and welcoming. It had everything to make our stay a pleasure. It was close to Ithaca.
The Thomsons were very welcoming and Sarah very helpful when I would email her.
I would highly recommend The Grey Barn to anyone. Hopefully I can stay again in the future.
This is a wonderful place to stay and have an event. We recently had our wedding on the grounds, and it was perfect. Plenty of space, a bright open layout friendly for hosting wedding guests, and beautifully kept grounds to enjoy. Sarah, the owner, was wonderfully accommodating with our vendors to ensure that we were able to host the entire event on site. I highly recommend The Grey Barn to anyone looking for a great place for a getaway or an event.
Very clean. I loved the the open floor plan of the main social/gathering area. Slept a lot of women comfortably. Beautiful artwork and decor. Thanks for a wonderful girlfriends getaway weekend. Would highly recommend.
The motto for Ithaca is ' Ithaca is gorges' This play on words reflects both the phenomenal gorges, no less than 6 of them within 15 miles and most within 7 miles. These fantastic gorges can be easily accessed to hike and some have swimming holes. Gorgeous is Cayuga Lake and surrounding area. The lake beckons you to swim, fish, boat or just watch its many moods. At The Grey Barn you will be on the Wine Trail, near the Cornell Plantations and Ornithology Lab.
If you are a biker you are in one of the top Mountain biking areas in NY and road biking can't be better.
You will be tempted by multiple restaurants with diverse cuisines nearby. However you may prefer to pick up local foods and cook them at home in the full large kitchen back at The Grey Barn.
If you are interested in vegetable farming we have an organic vegetable farm 4 miles down the road that we would be happy to show you and offer fresh produce in season.
However you spend your time you will want to return to see the area in a different season and light and we will welcome you back!

is this a first for MMA? where both fighters test positive?
not that i want this to happen, but shouldn't this be the classical example of where a fight should be ruled a no contest?
speaking from the POV that diaz got a no contest against gomi....which to me was a huge injustice, considering what the positive test was for.

I can't imagine Sherk would use any performance enhancer. Did anyone else see that UFC All Access clip where he went on about eating cleanly, taking care of his body, and hard training being the only way to get results?
Probably going to be an appeal. Sucks about the purses, too.

Ben Johnson carried on the exact same way, about clean living and what not, and they found enough steriods in him to beef up an elephant. I am not saying I think Sherks elevated levels are from natural causes or from the use of performance enhancing drugs. Franca, at least, came clean about it so there is no doubt.
I am at the extreme other end of the spectrum from Nieldo. I feel that if it is proven, after rigorous investigation, a fighter has used a performance enhancing drug they should be seriously punished. 1 year is pretty good, but I wouldn't stop there. If they are a title holder then they should vacate their title and not give them a title shot until they have fought their way back up the ranks from dead god damne last.Amateur MMA record: 8-3-1

"Philipp was an avid baseball player, because of which he had lost his interest in studies. He came to me just a week before the actual 640-864 exam with stress all over his head. I suggested him to give a rapid review of the entire course and then refer to the Q & A of TestKing. He was so satisfied that now for his few other courses, he takes TestKing as a reliable exam preparation tool. "

For those who are unfamiliar with this guy, he is a tiny figurine that transforms into a 'cyber-cassette' small enough to fit into the chest cavity of the deluxe War for Cybertron Soundwave figure. To Transformers fans out there, apologies for the introdump. These pictures show my latest version of the Thugger, which is basically composed of a mixture of WSFP and FUD material. This was done to maximise reliability of the joints, while preserving surface detail in the areas that count. Currently only Rumble (the red one) had a snapped FUD neck joint, which I replaced with a spare WSF piece. The paint job was executed with a mix of lacquer and enamel modelling paints. The eyes were a real B- to paint; I had to go at them with a toothpick... The motivation for this project started as a challenge to myself to design a toy figure with the smallest joints possible yet with a certain level of reliability. With the techniques picked up in this project, I can move onto even larger, complex projects. Second, this is a test to see how much detail I can put into a model before it became ridiculous at that scale. The Thuggers were designed when Detail material was the norm. Since FUD came out we have seen some really amazing stuff from other artists, and even now I felt the Thugger can do with even more detail. Watch out for Thugger 4.0 coming soon!

"Fly and avoid the eclipse"
Reviewed by Anna Grace / Jun 28, 2011
Play with gravity and let the ninja fly
Moon Chaser is a game where the main character, the ninja, needs to run to his destination before the eclipse. The trick in this game is Gravity, which will increase when the screen is touched and once you release, the ninja will fly and advance faster.
The rules are simple: Touch to accelerate speed on declivity, release to make ninja fly on acclivity. This might seem fairly easy but it's actually quite a challenge, since you need to coordinate the ups and downs of the mountains with the ninja flying.
Reverie is the creator of Moon Chaser and other puzzle and action games. This is a pretty good game, highly addicting and original, recommended for all ages. Be sure to try it out. The only bad things is that your finger will hurt after pressing the screen so hard, but it's practically impossible not to do that.
All of the magic is GRAVITY.The gravity increases when screen is touched, and it restores to normal when released.
The game rule is very simple, but how far ninja runs will completey depend on your skill.
Some tips may be helpful:
1. Touch to acclerate speed on declivity.
2. Release to make ninja fly on acclivity.
3. Fine tuning gravity when ninja is flying in the sky.
Good luck of the trip!
If you like tiny wings, dragon fly, you'll like moon chaser more!

Once played as a kid 6 years old
I love the game but honestly it's very consecutive and there's nothing new. The coins are pointless, if there was something I could do with it it would help better the game
it's quite interesting to play the game. But the main thing is that I could not buy anything from the coins as there is no shop out there... So I kindly request the game developers to make some genuine updates in the game....... ;-?
But why are the coins if it has no use.
Always has and always will be one of my favorite games! Love it!

Re: Monday Service Play
Nick Parsons
Sport: NHL Hockey
Game: New York Islanders @ Edmonton Oilers - Monday January 7, 2008 9:00 pm
Pick: 1 unit (Free Play) MONEYLINE: Edmonton Oilers -123
This is a great spot for the Oilers as they are 5-1 ATS this season (+7 units) after playing to three or more consecutive overs! And the Islanders have struggled all season on the road, sitting with a 3-7 record away from friendly confines. One of the keys for the Oilers has been the outstanding play of Mathieu Garon, who made 21 saves Saturday and is a league-best 7-0 in shootouts, allowing only two goals on 23 attempts, and I expect him to be sharp again this evening; good value on the OILERS!

Big Al McMordie
Sport: NBA Basketball
Game: San Antonio Spurs @ Golden State Warriors
Pick: 1 unit (Free Play) ATS: San Antonio Spurs 0 (0)
At 10:35 pm, our complimentary selection is on the San Antonio Spurs. These two teams met in December and Golden State came away with a 96-84 victory when the Spurs were banged up. But Manu Ginobili returned yesterday vs. the Clippers, and San Antonio promptly ended its 4-game road losing streak. With revenge from that 12-points loss, look for Gregg Popovich's crew to win in Oakland tonight. Take the Spurs. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.Al McMordie OWNS THE NCAA FB TITLE GAMES, as he's a perfect 6-0 the last 7 yrs (with no play in USC/Okla). Off a win on Tulsa, Big Al's 9-2 his last 11 Bowl Picks, and is an AWESOME 147-96 since 1992! If you need a Bowl Winner, the man to turn to is Big Al, and he will be 7-0 in Championship Games after Monday night. Get on it.

Chris Jordan
3-0 Sweep
300♦ OVER LSU/Ohio State
Michael Cannon
Monday's BCS Winner!
25 Dime –
Take the points with Ohio State tonight over Lsu in the BCS Championship.
The Buckeyes face a similar situation as they did last year in having 51 days off before this game. But the difference between this year and last is they aren't facing a team that presents the biggest problem for them defensively.
Specifically, a spread-option offensive attack.
The Lsu offense does not present anything that Ohio State can't handle defensively.
In fact, Lsu has been playing tight games all season long, and there's no reason this game won't follow suit. The Tigers didn't roll over anyone down the stretch and their defense isn't as strong as it was in past seasons.
I mean, they allowed Arkansas to run up and down the field on them, at home no less, 34 points to Alabama and 24 points to an Auburn team that didn't scare anyone offensively. In fact, the Tigers surrendered at least 24 points in six of seven games prior to holding Tennessee to 14 on Dec. 1.
Forget about the myth that SEC teams are vastly superior to every other conference and just by playing anyone outside their conference guarantees them a cakewalk.
In my opinion, Usc deserved to be here more than Lsu did.
But almost by default the Tigers got their chance for the trophy tonight.
Ohio State's defense can and will make up for last year's debacle against Florida.
On offense, the Buckeyes will rely heavily on running back Beanie Wells and he will be able to pound it out against the Tigers front.
It would not surprise me if this game came down to a last-possession field goal, and for that reason taking the points is the key.
The Buckeyes enter this game on a 23-8 ATS tear, including 5-2 ATS to finish the season. Ohio State is on further positive ATS runs of 6-2 versus teams with a winning record, 4-1 on artificial turf and 20-8 following a SU win.
Lsu stumbled to a 2-7-1 ATS finish. They are also just 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven against winning teams.
Ohio State has an excellent chance at winning this game outright, but considering the line taking them with the points is the play.
Take the Buckeyes plus the number.
Re: Monday Service Play
N. Texas / La.-Monroe Over
Note: There is no reason to get too long winded on this one. This line opened too low and primarily because of some lower than usual scoring by both teams over the last few games. But both have played much better D's than they will face tonight and both have played lower than usual paced squads as well, including a very slow Tempo Denver Team who has the former head coach of Princeton in their stable. The Fact is, Monroe has the 84th highest paced team in the land and they also have the 314th D Team. That combination alone usually means that road Monroe games are crazy affairs, but when we put that together with the Mean Green, who are #36 Tempo-Wise, we have more than crazy, we have Insane Asylum. The Pace will be insane tonight with the liklihood of 125 to 130 shots taken a good possibilty, perhaps more. The last 2 NT Games have seen 148+ and that is almost unheard of. Hold onto your hats, because this one could produce heavy winds in this arena as players zip past you, throwing up gobs of shots, many being 3 pointers. We also have two very good free throw shooting teams and that is an added bonus but probably not important. Play up to 157.

Today's Games...
1. 400,000♦ Ohio State
2. 50,000♦ Colorado
1. Ohio State- Do you really believe Coach Tressel and his Buckeyes learned nothing from their 41-14 debacle against the Florida Gators in last year's BCS Title Game? For a year now they've been hearing everyone with an opinion say that they're too slow, the SEC is too quick, and that they might as well kiss their Championship hopes goodbye this season. Well, fast forward a year, and the 11-1 Buckeyes have been playing inspired football all season, and tonight they get their redemption and here's why:Besides the huge motivational factor, there's no question the Buckeyes defense is the more dominant stop-unit in this contest. Led by Butkus award winning LB Laurinaitis, this defense is dominant, ranking 1st in total yards (227 yards/game), passing defense (148 yards/game), and scoring defense (10.7 ppg allowed), and 3rd overall in rush defense (79 yards/game). Critics will argue this defense didn't play the same caliber opponents that LSU did, but if you saw the Tigers defense collapse down the stretch, how can you argue against this point?
Speaking of the LSU defense, they struggled mightily over their last 3 games, allowing a whopping 29 ppg on 440 total yards. What has to be scariest for LSU-backers is the fact the Tigers surrendered 226 rushing yards per game over that stretch... Can't you just hear the OSU O-line and Beanie Wells licking their chops at that stat?! Again critics will say that they're collapse at the end of the season was due to Glen Dorsey's injury, but that's a long way to fall because of one player.
While I expect both offenses to struggle somewhat against these defenses, I'm just not convinced the Matt Flynn/Ryan Perrilloux combo is going to be able to get it done against this Buckeyes stop-unit. Flynn struggled with inconsistency, finishing with a below average 55% completion rate. You can make the same argument against QB Boeckman, who struggled down the stretch, but with plenty of time to make adjustments (51 days off) and RB Beanie Wells pounding his way through a suddenly vulnerable Tigers defense, Boeckman will prove why Tressel is so high on him (not to mention the fact his stats this season far supercede anything Flynn and/or Perriloux did).
Bottom line, the Buckeyes got embarrassed from top-to-bottom in last year's BCS Title game, and tonight, they're not only playing for the championship, but also for personal pride, which can be the greatest motivator of all. Ohio State has all the motivation it needs, plus the defensive and coaching edges. I'd call the offenses a push, but its hard not to like RB Wells against a suddenly struggling LSU defense. We'll take the points, as I expect a close contest here, but don't be too surprised if the Buckeyes pull out the outright upset tonight at the Superdome!
Take Ohio State plus the points over Louisiana State as your top-rated play of the day.
2. Colorado- While Tulsa has been padding its stats with 5 straight home wins against sub-par competition, tonight they take their show on the road, where they're 0-3 & 1-2 ATS. Granted, the Buffaloes are 3-3 SU and 0-4 ATS at home this season, but they've won two straight there, and are playing much better basketball at this point in the season.
Another unintended benefit of the Buffaloes numbers at home is the very conservative price tag on this contest. Listen guys, Colorado may not have the best numbers, but having watched both these teams play, I can tell you Tulsa's road play is atrocious, averaging 58 ppg on just 35% shooting. Their 84-70 loss at Oral Roberts in a non-lined contest should tell you a lot about their ability to get it done in hostile territory.
Match ups also favor the Buffaloes, as their 4-guard attack of Roby, Hall, Silas, adn Higgins can and will run circles around a bigger, more lumbering Golden Hurricane squad. There's no question Colorado will have some trouble with 6'11 C Jordan, but he's still a project offensively, and has averaged only 7 ppg in Tulsa's 3 road games!
Bottom line, Colorado protects its house, building off consecutive home wins to beat a road-weary Tulsa team in this one. With more than a week off, its possible we see Tulsa come out flat, which would doom them from the beginning. Either way, count on the Buffaloes to eventually pull out the home win and cover against a Tulsa squad that can't hit the broadside of barn in hostile territory.
Take Colorado at home over Tulsa in this college hoops match up.

BCS Title Game New Orleans, La.
No. 1 Ohio State (11-1) vs. No. 2 Louisiana State (11-2)
Ohio State is 9-1 in their last 10 games, 7-3 ATS
Louisiana State is 8-2 in their last 10 games, 2-7-1 ATS LSU - 4½
The major factor in this contest is LSU talented squad returning back in good physical shape. Besides, the Tigers have home field advantage. This game is in New Orleans. Take LSU, the Buckeyes haven't faced a highly regarded opponent this season.

double-dime bet505 Wis.-Milwaukee 3.5 vs Youngstown St.
Analysis: 2** WISCONSIN-MILWAUKEE PANTHERS plus the points vs Youngstown State
We'll continue to ride the DOUBLE-Revenge Systems which have paid off so handsomely so far in the 2007/2008 season. In fact, There were 3 qualifying teams going yesterday, and they went a PERFECT 3-0 ATS (Northwestern / Ball State / Buffalo).
So far this season, College teams playing with DOUBLE-Revenge from last year have gone a profitable 32-15 ATS (68%). If our 'Revenger' also has the added confidence of playing off a SU WIN (like Wisconsin-Milwaukee), the results improve to 17-3 ATS (85%). And if our 'Revenger' is actually off 2 or more SU wins in a row (like Wilsconsin-Milwaukee), the results improve to 9-1 ATS on the year
Re: Monday Service Play
Matt Fargo's Pick Pack
Matchup: Tulsa at Colorado
Play: Colorado -2.5
Don't look now but here comes a hot Tulsa team into Boulder to face the Buffaloes. While its been hot with five straight wins, you certainly cannot go by just that as all five of those games were at home and with the exception of Charlotte, the other four teams were well below average. The Golden Hurricane have not had a road game since December 5th so the fact that they have not traveled in a month is pretty huge. They are 0-3 on the road and all three were bad losses including a defeat against another rebuilding Big XII team Oklahoma by 26 points. Colorado is certainly not in the upper class of the Big XII but it is a much improved team from a season ago and a lot of the success has to do with first year head coach Jeff Bzdelik who turned around Air Force and is doing the same here. The Buffaloes have won three-straight games for the second time this season and have eclipsed more victories than last year's seven already. The unselfish attitude that Bzdelik has brought in is a trademark as he stripped the names off the backs of the jerseys after he decided that the name on the front is more important than the one on the back. Tulsa has played a schedule that is one of the worst in the country as it is ranked 325th overall and that has played a big part in its stats being skewed. One huge edge for the Buffaloes is in assist/turnover ratio which happens to be another Bzdelik trademark. Colorado is +0.23 in ratio at home while the Golden Hurricane are -0.78 on the road with their ratio. The shooting numbers for Tulsa are even worse and the length of time between road games is going to catch up with it here. This is a great price for a team that is really starting to gel together and playing at home against a team struggling to find an identity away from its home gym.

Re: Monday Service Play
L. Ness
Ohio St is back for another try in the BCS title game, after getting blown out by Florida last year, 41-14. Once again the Buckeyes come in as the nation's No. 1 ranked team and once again they will face an SEC team (LSU). The big difference though, is that unlike LY when Ohio St was the solid favorite (minus-7 1/2), this time around the Buckeyes are the underdogs. However, one wouldn't know it by the "line movement," as LSU opened a six-point favorite but seemingly ALL of the money has come in on Ohio St! I DON'T understand it? This year's Ohio State is NOT as good as last year's team, as Troy Smith was a much more athletic and dangerous player than this year's starting QB, Todd Boeckman. While Boeckman had a surprisingly good year, he's got little mobility in the pocket and has nowhere near the playmaking ability of Smith. Also note that in his last two games (Illinois and Michigan), he passed for a total of just 206 yards with an 0-4 ratio. He also doesn't have the one-two punch Smith had in WRs Ginn and Gonzalez. While Beanie Wells (1,463) had a great season at RB, he's surely no better than Antonio Pittman. One could make the case that Ohio' St's D is better this year, as it ranks No. 1 in both scoring (10.7 PPG) and total yards (225.3) but then again, one must consider the competition. The Big 10 was CLEARLY down TY (only Michigan has played well in the bowls) and Ohio St's non-conference schedule consisted of Youngstown St (Div I-AA), Akron (4-8), Kent St (3-9) and Washington, which lost NINE of its last 11! Now to LSU. Many think this is the nation's most talented team overall but in fairness, the Tigers did lose to both Kentucky and Arkansas, teams which finished with a collective 10 losses! Granted, both came in triple-OT but the Tigers LOST just the same! However, LSU played NINE bowl-eligible teams TY, yet its defense finished ranked third in the nation YPG, allowing just 283.9. The rush D allowed 103.1 YPG (3.1) and with DT Dorsey back at 100% (that's the claim), the pass rush (32 sacks) should be fearsome. LSU's pass D allowed just 46.4% completions and came up with 21 INTs. Just like LY, Ohio St's offense will NOT be able to cope with LSU's defensive speed, quickness to the ball and overall athleticism! While OSU has a great D itself and has plenty of athletes, the LSU offense has been helped by the layoff, giving underrated QB Matt Flynn time to get healthy. Also don't discount backup Perrilloux's ability to bring a "different look" when he's used at QB. Hester (1,017 / 5.0) leads a running game which averages 218.9 YPG (5.1) and has scored 34 TDs, while the WRs are "better than their numbers," especially with Doucet now healthy. Les Miles has led LSU to two DOMINATING bowl wins since coming to Baton Rogue, beating No. 9 Miami 40-3 in the Peach Bowl two years ago and trashing ND 41-14 in LY's Sugar Bowl. Playing in New Orleans is basically a "home" game for the Tigers and while I don't expect Ohio St to lose by fours TDs (like LY), a two-TD margin seems about right. Weekly Wipeout Winner on LSU

Monday College Basketball Opinions
Wisconsin-Milwaukee (+3) over YOUNGSTOWN STATE
I lost my Best Bet on Wisconsin-Milwaukee (-6) over Detroit on Saturday, but the Panthers still won the game 55-53 despite a season's worst 32% shooting. Part of the reason for the play on Saturday was the improved team chemistry since head coach Rob Jeter kicked a few players with bad attitudes off the team, including leading scorer Torre Johnson. The offensive efficiency has actually been about the same since the suspensions, even with Saturday's horrible offensive performance included, but the defense has been much better as a result of better team chemistry and better defensive effort. I'm sure kicking Johnson and Tim Flowers off the team served as a wake up call for the remaining players and I expect the Panthers to continue to play hard on the defensive side of the floor. With the offense no worse off and the defense better there is some value in backing the Panthers. I'll lean with Wisconsin-Milwaukee plus the points.
SANTA CLARA (-11) over San Jose State
Santa Clara will be looking to end a two game losing streak tonight by beating up on San Jose State for a second time this season. The Broncos beat the Spartans by 10 points in San Jose in early December, as 6-10 305 pound center John Bryant dominated inside for 21 points and 12 rebounds in just 24 minutes. San Jose State has added some height with 6-9 F Chris Oakes becoming eligible shortly after that game, but Oakes is a very lean 225 pounds and will certainly not help in containing Bryant. Santa Clara applies to a solid 98-47-2 ATS situation and my ratings favor the Broncos by 12 ½ points in this game, but that angle doesn't work quite as well when applying to favorites of more than 10 points so I'll consider Santa Clara an opinion in this game at -11 or less. But, I will take Santa Clara in a 2-Star Best Bet at -10 points or less.

In an advance announcement, the journal Nature is reporting the first discovery of a gene, Nod2, involved in causing Crohn's disease, one of the two major inflammatory bowel diseases that affects nearly 500,000 Americans. The discovery, made by researchers at University of Michigan, University of Chicago, University of Pittsburgh, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and Johns Hopkins may help pave the way for new treatments and prevention strategies for this devastating disease.
"The cause of Crohn's disease has been a mystery for years and now we have identified an abnormality in the Nod2 gene that makes people susceptible. Nod2 genetic abnormalities probably account for 10 to 15 percent of Crohn's cases," says Steven Brant, M.D., assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins and Director of the Meyerhoff Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Laboratory. The gene abnormality and its characterization was led by the University of Chicago and University of Michigan.
Nod2 regulates the immune system's response to bacteria and inflammation, and it may cause the disease by interfering with these processes. It is also in a family of genes that controls apoptosis, programmed cell death.
In Crohn's disease, the inner lining of the bowel is inflamed, extending deep into the intestinal wall. It usually involves the small and large intestines. It causes pain, severe diarrhea, intestinal bleeding, weight loss and fever. Symptoms vary in severity and duration; some patients suffer frequent prolonged attacks, and others have fewer recurrences. The disease usually starts in the adolescent or young adult years. Medical therapy can control symptoms and flares, although the majority of patients usually require surgery at some time.
The Meyerhoff Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center, under the direction of Ted Bayless, was established, in part, to investigate genetic mechanisms of Crohn's. Steven Brant was recently awarded nearly $2 million from the National Institutes of Health to identify Crohn's disease genes and undertake epidemiological studies.

Re: Reasons for knowing TVMDCAW
I ended up using what I call "brute force" and just memorized the "TVMDC+W" then added the arrows and such. I always put the whole thing down and then fill in the blanks.
When I teach charting or navigating I hand out (or give the link) a sheet to my students that I started many years ago when I first joined the CG Aux. The sheet has the formula, time/distance/speed circle and formulas as well as notes on the proper format for writing plots on a chart. One of my instructors took a wood burning pencil and burned TVMDC into his nav station.
I print the sheet double sided on heavy card stock of CONTRASTING color (harder to loose) (5x8 inches or half a letter size sheet - yes two sizes are available) PDF - I have laminated many sheets as gifts for friends.
Since this is my first post I see that I can't leave a link - but my name should link to my modest web site and look for the article "Piloting and Navigators Quick Reference" or Google should also get you there on the article title.
I hope the sheet helps

How Do You Get Away From It All?
Head for an Island Retreat
You could call Michael Arrington obsessed with breaking tech news. So much so that he devised a points system to track whether his blog TechCrunch breaks more stories than everyone else. Yet when Arrington traveled to Hawaii for a month without a computer, the site's page views continued to climb. "That helped me realize that I am not nearly as important as I thought I was—and that the team I hired is really good," Arrington says. "I've really let go since then."
