In the midst of this holiday season, surrounded by bright lights, colorful displays and tidings of comfort and joy, many among us are simply sad. Although this could be related to unfulfilled expectations or unhappy memories, it's just as likely to be weather-related.
Despite efforts and actions toward happy wellness, some people experience symptoms of depression during the winter months, which abate during the spring and summer. This may be a sign of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is a mood disorder associated with depression episodes and related to seasonal variations of light.
SAD was first referenced in medical journals in the early 1800's, but wasn't officially recognized and named until the 1980's. Knowing that the number of sunlight hours in a given day affects seasonal animal behaviors including reproductive cycles and hibernation, scientists assumed that same change in seasons could affect human behaviors as well. Some deduced that SAD is an effect of this seasonal light variation in humans.
As seasons change, there are fewer hours of sunlight in fall and winter, and more hours of darkness. Melatonin, a sleep-related hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain, is produced at increased levels in the dark, and when overproduced, can cause symptoms of depression.
Not surprisingly, January and February, the months with the fewest number of daylight hours are the months during which seasonal depression is most frequently reported. On an interesting note, younger people and women seem to be at greatest risk. If you predictably get "the blues" every fall or winter, you may suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Symptoms Include:
Treatments Include:
Phototherapy, or bright light therapy, has been effectively used to suppress the brain's secretion of melatonin. Although, there have been no research findings to definitely link this therapy with an antidepressant effect, many people respond quite well. The device most often used today is a bank of white fluorescent lights on a metal reflector and shield with a plastic screen. For mild symptoms, spending time outdoors during the day or arranging homes and workplaces to receive more sunlight may be helpful. One study found that an hour's walk in winter sunlight was as effective as two and a half hours under bright artificial light.
If phototherapy doesn't work, an antidepressant drug may prove effective in reducing or eliminating SAD symptoms, but there may be unwanted side effects to consider. Discuss your symptoms thoroughly with your family doctor and/or mental health professional.
If you are not willing to risk the side effects of a prescription antidepressant, you may want to follow Dr. Andrew Weil' s recommendation and consider trying St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum). This extensively researched herb is an effective treatment for a range of conditions, including:
Look for tablets, capsules, tinctures, fluid extract, powdered extract or oil that are standardized for hyperforin and hypericin. Dr. Weil recommends 300 milligrams three times a day. As an antidepressant, it may take six to eight weeks to work. If you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, you may want to use St. John's wort in conjunction with phototherapy, or bright light therapy.
If you're feeling blue, I hope this gives you some tools toward wellness; and I wish all of you a happier holiday season.

My stay at Nice ZeroPosted May 12, 2015
Pros: see above
Cons: see above
Location: see above
Pros: very clean. central. decent size room, good recommender (Josh) of restaurants at Concierge. Cons: 1) called days before and upon check-in asked to confirm that room is in a quiet part of the building. Room is 10 ft. away and the elevator bell is very loud. The volume can be easily turned down. All 2 queen rooms are in the X08 so if wanted to move had to go to a 1 queen bed with a cot in a tiny room. Also, construction is going on at this time. Workers went all night working from Friday to Saturday. Saturday morning spoke with mgr. and the next night was quiet all night and on Sunday night to Monday morning, workers began at 7:00am which was fine. 2) bed a little worn out but comfy; bathroom small, no counter space, and some paint peeling and bubbles forming due to moisture in the room as there is not air vent. 3) wine reception--very cheap wine served--Camelot white and red at $8/bottle 4) hair dryer only blew air so called to replace and it took 20 mins. the replacement dryer did not even turn on so had to re-order a hair dryer. The 3rd one did work, but it was too late to use it as we had to leave.

Great area of Boston. Great hotel!Posted Apr 19, 2015
Pros: Wine at happy hour complimentary and coffee in the morning! Fresh fruit flavored water all day in the lobby. Wonderful staff!
Location: Bean town pub right next door was great for lunch. Walking distance to Boston Common
We were greeted at check in at 5 pm with a complimentary glass of wine which could not have been a nicer touch after driving all day to get there. The room was spacious and very well appointed with incredibly comfortable bedding. Employees were all wonderfully friendly and helpful.

Perfect location to everything!Posted Apr 9, 2015
Pros: The white sheets and towels make it look extra clean. The animal print robes where a great touch and of coarse the choclate dropped off each night.
Cons: More hooks in the bathroom to hang towels and robes. Room was so clean except for an inch of dust on the top of the head board.
Location: So close to the bus and subway system. Can walk the freedom trail right out the door. It is right in the middle of all the historic sites.
The staff was amazing, friendly, kind and accomidating. The afternoon wine was a hit!

Hotel with youth flarePosted Mar 11, 2015
It was a nice hotel with added features that made it unique. The blue lights in the room and the city view on floor 18 was an added plus. I stayed with my boyfriend for the weekend. Hotel staff was nice when we checked in and helpful. It was a nice location, but the valet parking is expensive and the day we checked out we called down to see if we could grab one of the free bathroom supplies that we forgot. And my boyfriend said the guy on the phone paused and was like ok. No one came up with the item. So I guess staff will be nice and helpful up until your checkout day.

Decent location... Tired: The year 2000 calledPosted Mar 9, 2015
Pros: Bathroom seemed very clean
Funky atmosphere in and out of rooms is quite dated now, was relevant and edgey in early 2000's. Rooms furniture and ability to accommodate mobile workers leaves much to be desired (desk, bandwidth, electrical outlets, even TV were all disappointing). Room was very small and worn (especially carpet)

Kept awake by night clubPosted Mar 9, 2015
Cons: Remove or soundproof the night club.
This is a nice hotel - it was clean and well taken care of. The staff were friendly and competent. However, someone decided that there should be a night club on the second floor. That same someone decided that it shouldn't be adequately sound-proofed. The music played until 2AM every morning. When called, the front desk staff said that the music would not be turned down under any circumstance. The hotel was fully booked and we were unable to change rooms. Extremely disappointed by this promising hotel. Steer clear if you want a good night's sleep.

The Incident
Episode Reviews (8)
Jay's former wife comes to a visit
Another solid funny episode. It may not be good as last one but still good. I liked the character of Jay's former life. I thought it was funny how she is trying to prove she has this "normal" life after her divorce. It's funny how she openly talks about sex in front of her kids. I also liked her treatment of Cameron. It's not bad and not as bad as how Jay treats Phil but it's funny how Cameron shrinks in front of her. This episode exposed the relationships that Claire and Mitchell had with their parents when growing up. The "incident" was funny to see and was funner when she tried to apologize to Gloria and the family only to attack Gloria again. I think this should be refereed to as the incident 2. When Jay's former wife tried to attack Gloria and Phil said I got Gloria was very funny. Another funny moment was Dylan's song. With a nice title and nice start to the song to only be weird was great. I liked the character of Dylan. The producers of Modern Family cold have easily cast him as a douche bag but they didn't. Another funny episode.moreless
The Incident
Anytime the wacky relative shows up, it usually does not lead to a good episode. You should not introduce a character like this, even if was just a one-off appearance, in the 4th episode. That is way too early for a show that is already about a huge, extended family. This episode did feature some funny parts, but like is usually the case with Modern Family, the episode was just so predictable. The minute Dylan broke out the guitar you knew it was going to be an inappropriate song. If you did not know that, watch more television!
Some good moments, but not that great an episode.moreless
"I gave her a pair of gorgeous diamond earrings and she gave me a hint."
Another excellent episode by Modern Family. Looking back on some of the previous episodes, I probably could've rated them lower, because this was definitely stronger than last week's.. and that's saying a lot, because last week, in my opinion, was a great episode. However, with this episode, we get some backstory, some old family footage (including a hilarious home video of Cameron on an exercise machine, looking enraged) and some great interactions between the cast.
Everything starts when Dede, Claire and Mitchell's mother returns for the first time since they had the "incident." And seeing the incident for yourself, along with all of the talking heads of the family explaining what they were thinking at the time, is the way to go.. me explaining would ruin it. Anyways, she comes to apologize to Gloria, who was deeply offended by her, and in doing so gets the family all riled up.
This episode was in the vein of last week's, where all the plots came to tie together in the end. Everybody in the family was interacting with one another and with Dylan's monologue at the end, we were reminded of how eclectic and dysfunctional the family is.. of course he ruins his heartfelt monologue with a song that steals the entire episode.
With Benjamin Bratt and Edward Norton agreeing to appear on the show, it appears the show is only going to get better with time.moreless
Dylan, quite the poet!
I didn't think it was that bad. It had been a while since I saw Shelly Long and I remember her from her Cheers days. Funny that at the same time I started watching Cheers, I was also watching Married with Children...
I like the interaction between Jay and Claire. Isn't there always in every family someone who is trying to solve all the problems and bring everyone together?
Phil is silly most of the times. His talk with Haley was funny and his 'I got Gloria' was ridiculous but not lame.
And I really started to like Dylan, he had a point with everything he said but then his little song was well, a little to much ;)moreless
"The last time she was here, the refrigerator magnets rearranged themselves in the shape of a penta-gradma"
So thick with content, watching each episode multiple times is a necessity.
It is only 4 shows into the series, and I do believe this show is both, for real and going to last.
ABC picked up the full year, which really was not a surprise, but the shows are just packed with content and nuance to captivate even the most wayward of skeptics. There are so many ways the producers can take any one of these families, the available content should be able to last as long as the writers can keep up. So far at least, the writers are doing just fine, and the cast is right on top of giving us the feeling that we could be in their reactive roles.
There are so many relate-able scenes, the type where "we've been there", that a person gets drawn into the scene and anticipates the characters reaction based on their own experience.
There also seems to be a steady stream of Hollywood notables who are offering their services up for "spots" to be written for them. That in itself says a lot, and the writers are putting them in roles that fit like a glove, which gives the show just that much more depth.
Modern Family is a "Gem" of a show, and certainly gives me hope for a resurgence in network programming.
"I just wanna do you...under the moonlight" Ha, another hilarious installment!
For the first time in my life, i agreed what the critics said. This show is funny! and deserved an emmy! (sorry 30 rock!) Tonight's episode revolved around Jay's ex-wife coming for a visit to apologize about "the incident" that happened in jay's and gloria's wedding and she informed that she's moving in canada, the french part. LOL! Shelley Long is the perfect ex-wife! I love how this show has so much hilarious moments in less than 30 minutes. I love how the 3 funny stories or plot of the 3 families became 1 hilarious story in the end. The thing that entertain me the best is how dylan stop the "cat fight" between Dede and Gloria and explained how each party really feel to each other and when he started singing, i thought it's gonna be a one chessy ending but he started singing about how he really want to do Haley, Claire's and Phil daugher, under the moonlight! A WTF classic funny clip! Every characters of the show in this episode, except for Alex (Phil and Claire other daughter) where is she??, blended well and has time to shine and do there thing.
Overall this is an another perfectly crafted episode filled with so much laughs! I'm really looking forward for the next week episode!moreless

Boeing has started building as many as 12 more C-17 airlifters in anticipation of signing new orders from international customers, possibly extending the Long Beach, California production line by more than a year.
The company's second quarter earnings report filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission notes that as of 30 June $620 million is obligated in inventory and potential termination liabilities for the next batch of aircraft.
The note confirms that Boeing leadership decided in the second quarter to continue building C-17s beyond the aircraft already on contract for delivery through September of next year.
"As in the past, Boeing is investing company funds on long-lead components to protect the continued affordable production of C-17 aircraft in anticipation of additional orders from international customers," the company says in a statement to Flightglobal.
Boeing has confirmed orders to continue building C-17s into the third quarter of 2014. If it builds all 12 C-17 as unsold "white tails", production could continue into the fourth quarter of 2015, based on current output of 10 per year.
Boeing says it is in discussions with a range of new and existing customers, although previous reports have linked the C-17 to additional orders from India and Australia and possible new orders from Saudi Arabia and Singapore.
The C-17's supply chain is already starting to build the unclaimed hulls, as production system requires an 18-month lead time for early parts and materials.
David Kornblatt, chief financial officer and executive vice president of Triumph Group, which owns C-17 supplier Vought, said in a recent teleconference with analysts that production has already begun on the next batch of aircraft.
"Now we've been given authorization to go ahead and build airplanes," Kornblatt says. "What we hear from [Boeing] is that they're confident that the next [block of 10 aircraft] is going to get sold."

Weakness in the shares of several pharmaceutical companies are likely to persist over the next one-and-a-half month, thanks to appreciating rupee and shift in investors preference from defensive to cyclical stocks amid hopes that economic revival may gain traction with the new government at the centre.
However, despite an appreciating rupee, pharma sector is optimistic that exports growth will be in double digit this year compared to the 2% growth witnessed during the last fiscal.
Siddhant Khandekar, pharma analyst, ICICI Direct, said, "In the short to medium term, there will be some impact on exports due to appreciating rupee. There will be some pricking, therefore there could be some tweak in the future estimates. However, if rupee appreciates beyond this level, the Reserve Bank may intervene since it will impact exports."
The appreciating rupee and a likely stability in the economy has also seen a shift from defensive stocks to cyclical ones. Khandekar said profit booking is expected in export-oriented stocks.
Ashutosh Gupta, chairman, Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council, said, "Compared to the growth reported in previous years, last year the growth was much less. This year we are expecting a double-digit growth, at least 10% which we are targeting at this point. We are in constant discussion with the commerce ministry on how to achieve this growth target." Pharma exports grew by less than 2% in the 2013-14 over the previous fiscal year.
Since May 9, 2014, the healthcare index has dropped 5.64%. With signs of stability expected in the economy post poll verdict, investors have been increasing exposure to cyclical stocks such as infra, cements, automobile and banking from the defensive sectors such as FMCG, IT and pharma.
Analysts expect another 2-5% drop in most of the pharma stocks going ahead, while in few others the impact could be around 5-12% over the next one-and-a-half month or till the market stabilises.
Khandekar said, "Most pharma stocks have started seeing some corrections. Besides this, the dollar benefit will only be available till the first quarter of the present fiscal. So on a constant currency term, pharma exports may grow by 15%."
While an appreciating rupee may see some pressure on pharma exports in the short-to-medium term, the loss in exports revenue could be offset in the long term following benefit of fall in raw material prices.
"Appreciating rupee will bring down the prices of raw materials. Also, most pharma companies have overseas subsidiaries. A strong rupee will bring down that expenses if you convert it from dollar to rupee.
Besides, companies can also increase the price of the products to safeguard their margins which took a beating for a while now. So while exports may suffer for the time being, other factors will offset the loss," said Ranjit Kapadia, senior VP-pharma, Centrum Broking.

About Me: Hmmmm. This is always the hardest part. How do I describe me? I guess I would label myself as somewhat of an adventurer. Now, when I say adventurer I don't mean that I am into extreme sports or an extreme lifestyle. Rather, I am adventuresome in that I like to do things for the experience. I like to go places and do things. Sorry for the generic terms, but going places and doing things can be something as simple as hanging out with family, as challenging as running a half marathon, or as extravagant as traveling around the world. I am the kind of person who likes to look back and say "remember when..." I have a big, crazy, complicated family and they mean the world to me! I talk to at least one of my sisters every day on the phone. If that is the kind of thing that will drive you insane, then I am probably not the girl for you. I spent 11 years as a junior high teacher before taking a position at a university. I love my new job, and am still in the process of transitioning to my new lifestyle. It is strange to not have to spend every night grading and lesson planning. Who I'm Looking For: I am looking for a partner in crime, someone to share in my adventures. I have very eclectic interests. I like concerts, football, hiking, shopping, broadway musicals, watching TV, traveling, country dancing, reading, and the list could go on and on. I would like to find someone who shares some of my interests. You don't have to love everything that I love, you just need to be open to possibilities, and I will do the same for you. I am looking for someone with a sense of humor. I love sarcastic humor, and I believe that you can't take life too seriously. I suppose I could give a whole laundry list of what I think I want in a man, but then I feel like I would be closing myself off to the potential of meeting someone truly wonderful. If you like my profile and are interested in getting to know me, please send me an email.

Thanks. I didn't wear the 3s. How were the 3s different from the 4s?
That's pretty cool, I was rockin my GR3 till now because I missed to check me some GR4 for some reason... :/
And now I going to get some sweet GR5 ! ;)
What did you guys do, order three sizes too big?:)
I actually love the way mine look and definitely love how they play in.
I did follow Tennis Warehouse's advice and ordered a half size smaller than I usually wear and everything's great.
I'm not sure if I should order another pair of the fours or try the fives.
I see the fives must fit true to size as TW isn't advising to order a half size smaller than normal.
I'll probably stay with the fours as they remind me of the original GR1's in how comfortable they are and they actually seem a lot more stable than the 1's.
Elf slippers? Too funny............
currently i have the gel res 4's and was debating whether to order the 5's or try out the solution speed. i ended up getting the solution speeds, maybe a faster feeling shoe will suit me better. i will be checking to see how the 5's play to see if i made a mistake
I ordered a half size down and never had this elf condition. I was surprised the rubber upper that connects the mesh to the toe held up. I'm a slight tie-dragger, so I was worried I'd get a hole there. I'm about to send in my 4's. Maybe if I ask nice enough they'll send me some 5's.
I can relate to the elf condition and went half size down...however, GR4 are great shoes, I will buy them again :)
Do the Gel Res 5's have a truer fit? With the 4s you had to order a half size lower.
I wear a size 11 in every shoe, including my GR4s. When I tried on a 10.5 it was too small. I tried on the GR5 yesterday at the big store near Baltimore, and the size 11 fit just fine. I thought they looked cheaper than the GR4, but felt very similar. I'll probably buy the GR4s while they're still available.
The ship date is pushed back it Feb 1 for the GR5s. I found an old pair of GR2s I apparently had in the back of a closet, and they are in great shape. I will impatiently wait for the new hotness.
hmm.......tempted to get 4s.........
I ripped the upper stitching on my GR4s first wear when dragging my right. It's not too bad, but hoping will hold up for the next 30 hours or so to allow me to get through the outsole.
Other than that, love these shoes. Comfy, perfect grip and breathable among other good points.
Just got the fives and played today straight out of the box and they were great , comfy, good ventilation and great grip. Just wish my tennis matched the quality of the shoes :)
I have worn 2 versions of Asic Resolution but can't recall if they are 4 or 5. I had a black with some yellow and my current shoe is the mostly yellow with some black trim that I bought last year. These Asics were the best shoe I have worn in awhile. I have ordered 2 different pairs, a 4 and 5 as I can't make up mind on prefered color, my question is there diference in the 4 and the 5?
I tried the GR5s in "my" size (11)... and they were too narrow in the toe box for me.
The GR4s were much roomier in the toes....
But. Both GR4s and GR5s were a nice, neutral shoe with my heels even with the balls of my feet. And cushy.

Group 'sorry' Bush wants out of gay-marriage ads
Thursday - 2/21/2013, 6:49pm EST
Associated Press
DALLAS (AP) -- A pro-gay marriage group will replace ads that include former first lady Laura Bush speaking on the topic with a new ad this weekend after Bush said she did not want to be part of its campaign.
The Respect for Marriage Coalition said Thursday that it appreciated Bush's previous comments, "but are sorry she didn't want to be included in an ad." The national advertising campaign of print, television and online ads that launched this week featured part of a Bush interview on CNN in which she says: "When couples are committed to each other and love each other then they ought to have the same sort of rights that everyone has."
The coalition made up of more than 80 organizations supporting gay marriage said the ad was part of "a public education campaign that will now move to new and different voices that reflect the depth and breadth of our support."
The ads that began running Wednesday also included clips of President Barack Obama, former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of Defense Colin Powell talking favorably about same-sex marriage.
Bush spokeswoman Anne MacDonald has said that Bush asked to be removed from the campaign after learning that she was being featured. MacDonald has said Bush "did not approve of her inclusion in this advertisement nor is she associated in any way with the group that made the ad."
After the coalition released its statement Thursday, MacDonald said Bush would have no further comment.
Cheney, whose daughter Mary is gay, said in a speech at the National Press Club in 2009 that he supports gay marriage but believes that states, not the federal government, should make the decision. The Respect for Marriage Coalition's ad campaign featured a clip of Cheney telling the National Press Club that "freedom means freedom for everyone."
Powell was shown in a clip from CNN saying, "Allowing them to live together with the protection of the law, it seems to me is the way we should be moving in this country." Obama's quote came from his inaugural address this year during which he said, "Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law."
The new ad starting this weekend features former Marine Cpl. Craig Stowell, who says that after finding out that his brother was gay he "wanted the same rights for him."
"He was the best man at my wedding and I want to be the best man at his," said Stowell, who notes he is a Republican.

Adaptive Routing Strategies in IEEE 802.16 Multi-Hop Wireless Backhaul Networks Based on Evolutionary Game Theory
Date Added: Mar 2010
Format: PDF
The high frequency segment (10-66GHz) of the IEEE 802.16 standard seems promising for the implementation of wireless backhaul networks carrying large volumes of Internet traffic. In contrast to wireline backbone networks, where channel errors seldom occur, routing decisions in IEEE 802.16 networks are conditioned by wireless channel impairments rather than by congestion, exclusively. This renders a cross-layer routing approach between the routing and the physical layers more appropriate during fading periods. In this paper, an adaptive cross-layer routing scheme is presented based on the selection of the most reliable path in terms of packet error ratio (unipath routing). The paper argues that routing Internet traffic through wireless backhaul networks is modeled more realistically employing evolutionary rather than conventional game theory.

Dr Li gently listens to EVERYTHING I have to say and then asks questions. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything in terms I can easily understand. He then gives me the chance for additional questions. I met him because my 1st doctor made me uncomfortable when telling me I needed the surgery so he was the 2nd opinion for me. I have not gone to anyone else. I have had 2 surgeries with him and think he is having to do a 3rd. All different but related to the same problem. If only his staff was as thorough as he is it woul make him 100 all the way.
He performed my surgery.. love him
I owe my life to Dr. Li. I had a severe spine injury in 2009 where two or three of my lower spine disks were completely ruptured, looking much like squished gushers on the MRI picture. It was predicted I would never walk or be able to recover much of the function in the nerves that were damaged, but thanks to God and Dr. Li and his staff, I am back to normal. Would recommend to anyone.
Dr. Li is a fantastic doctor. He performed my discectomy in July 2009 and did a wonderfrul job. He is a very caring dr. and has a great bedside manner. He is excellent at what he does. Thanks again Dr. Li
Excellent bedside manner.

World Lottery Association
Scam Alert!
Please note that fraudulent mails and letters are in circulation posing as official WLA documents. We recommend that you ignore these.
Full year global lottery sales up by 9.9%; growth driven again by Latin America and Asia Pacific.
In 2014, full-year on full-year global lottery sales grew 9.9%, strengthening from 2013 full-year on full-year growth of 4.9%. The growth in worldwide lottery sales was once again built on the foundations of strong performances from the Asia Pacific and Latin American regions, with both these locales having recorded unbroken double-digit growth in sales over the past six quarters. The robust performance of the Asia Pacific and Latin American markets was tempered, however, by the performance of the North American region, which saw full-year on full-year sales tread water in 2014. For their part, the European and African markets recorded mild year-on-year gains for 2014. The improvement in sales globally in 2014, together with the recent upturn in the economy in the United States, paints a more promising picture for global growth than has been occasioned in the past two years. Indeed, the pickup in global growth suggests we may be returning to the heights of 2011, the best year for global lottery sales in recent memory.
Discussion Papers
The WLA has published three discussion papers on the topics "Online gaming for lotteries", "Social gaming and lotteries", and "Sports integrity and lotteries". The aim of these papers is to provide our membership with information and data on contemporary issues that is both useful and relevant to the global lottery industry. In so doing, we hope to complement services that are already provided by the regional associations with services that are pertinent to the international lottery community as a whole.

Request for proposals (RFP)
To streamline the lottery procurement process, which is notoriously costly and time consuming, the WLA has worked with NASPL, operators, suppliers and independent consultants to develop a Best Practice for lottery RFPs. The Global RFP Best Practice provides comprehensive guidance and standardization of lottery procurements while fully accounting for the legislation in the respective lottery's jurisdiction. Following the Best Practice will make it simpler, faster and cheaper to develop a successful RFP, obtaining responsive proposals and conduct the evaluation of those proposals.

Former NBA'er Yao Ming did a commercial last year for mini-Oreos in China. Today, it's finally getting its due around here. Yao and a young child (who for all I know might be 5'8″ but standing next to Yao makes everyone look small) are walking and eating mini-Oreos.
Here's my question. Why would Yao eat mini-Oreos? I'm pretty sure regular sized Oreos would seem mini to Yao. Just like I'm sure he could drink a two-liter soda and it would look like a 20 ounce bottle in a non 7'6″ person's hand.
Anyway, Yao's acting is pretty great here, especially after he realizes he's been tricked by that plucky little kid.

Have setup some Official forums for Galaxial, which are now online here: Forums.galaxial.com
Galaxial is a 2D grand strategy game (4X) set in space. It features a sandbox mode allowing the player to explore, colonize and conquer planets in vast randomly generated galaxies.
3 comments by StuartMorgan on Jan 20th, 2015
The interface window for creating a galaxy and setting up a new game is almost finished.
The Jumpgate Dead Ends setting affects how many links there are between planets. High creates more isolated clusters and longer routes. Setting this to None will link the galaxy as a Gabriel Graph.
Center view of the galaxy created above. Planet types are fully moddable, so you can change their occurrence probability or add additional types.
Some of the new ship designs that were made recently.
The ship hull names all come from Mesopotamian mythology (Babylonian, Sumerian, Assyrian, Hittite)
Each weapon type (Beam Laser, Artillery Cannon, Missile Launcher...) has different turret graphics. I haven't got around to making them all yet.
Dreadnaughts are currently the largest ship type in the game. Carriers are on hold for now, as I'm not sure how exactly the fighter/drone mechanics are going to work. Rather than rush them for release, think I should leave them for a later update.
I completely remade the loading screen that is shown before entering the main menu. It's now multi-threaded, much more responsive and has some background animation while the game loads. The triangle colors and image changes randomly each time you run the game.
Had to update my old texture code for asynchronously loading, which is now double the speed!
Takes about 4 seconds to get to the main menu at the moment, but I expect that will increase as more content gets added.

i really would like to know the system needed to play this thanks :D
Not sure what the minimum system requirements will be yet. The game runs really well on older systems, so shouldn't be too demanding. A multi core CPU will be recommended.
I agree! I think this is definitely one of the most interesting space games in indie db! -Sasu
I have a question stuart morgan: We can choose the weapons of the ships ?
Yes, you can choose which weapons and modules go on ships.
There's more information on the ship fitting development log: Indiedb.com
*Activate Squeal* UPDATE!!!
No news for three months, what's going on? Hope it's just crunch time? ;)
Making steady progress. Currently working on the research system, so should have some news soon once that is finished.

11 October 2013 10:02 [Source: ICB]
European polyethylene terephthalate (PET) buyers should be safe in the knowledge that an abundance of low cost imports will continue to service the region, while European PET production goes through a period of rationalisation, speakers at Global Service International's 11th annual PET Day in Artimino, Italy, said on 3 October.
"The revolution is coming," according to Francesco Zanchi, CEO of GSI.
The process of consolidation among European producers has begun in earnest, with La Seda de Barcelona (LSB) the latest victim of high raw material costs and low demand.
Back-integrated PET plants should survive the backlash of competitively priced imports, but production sites reliant on purchased raw materials are unlikely to succeed, speakers said.
"Only a madman would invest in Europe," according to one participant.
Potentially lower oil prices over the next five years could in fact generate additional PET demand and should go some way to curbing the global PET oversupply of 6m tonnes/year, Zanchi said.
The loss of European production will be more than compensated by an onslaught of at least 2m tonnes of potential imports. Many of these will originate from low-cost raw material regions, and over the course of the next three years, will not be hampered by antidumping duties, according to Zanchi.
However, the sudden surge in imports will undoubtedly lead to European producers launching more antidumping and anti-subsidy campaigns, a second speaker said. About 70% of global PET demand comes not from the 3m tonnes/year demand for the market so favoured by Europe, but by the expanding textile industry dominated by Asia. "The textile industry is the driving force of our business," Zanchi explained.
Europe is a drop in the ocean in comparison to Asia, and it is China that will essentially condition global pricing, according to attendees. Those present at the conference collectively speculated on PET prices in Europe and Asia coming off in 2014, but many emphasised that the market would not see huge changes.
"We don't like raw material price volatility, but we can live with it. [What we don't like are] long periods of raw material high prices that lead to demand destruction," Paolo Cescutti, a sheet producer with AMB said during his paper.
Despite the negativity and uncertainties surrounding European demand and supply in 2013, the mood at the conference was positive regarding the future of PET.
"At the moment, there is no other product with the same efficiency, quality and low cost as PET," the first participant said, echoing comments made by others at the conference. "Unless there is another invention, PET will continue to grow over the next 10 years in line with the economic growth," he added.

Jump In With UsRead MoreNo matter if it's raining, sleeting, snowing, or mercilessly hot outside, kids can play safely at Jump In With Us. Much like mail carriers or people with umbrellas for hands, staff members report for duty in all kinds of weather, assisting kids and parents inside a 6,000-square-foot indoor playground. Tuesday through Friday, kids can leap inside colorful bounce houses, careen down inflatable slides, climb a rock-climbing wall, and navigate through an obstacle course during open play sessions. The rest of the week, parents can reserve the space for birthday parties and other events.19 Brigham St.Marlborough, MA US
Jump Around Parties & PlaydatesRead MoreJump Around Parties & Playdates boasts a sprawling indoor gymnasium of inflatable bounce houses, obstacle courses, and interactive games designed to give kids' energetic limbs and imaginative minds a place to explore. During open-jump sessions, staff members supervise children while they take on winding obstacle courses, break free from gravity in the moon bounce, and sharpen their jump shot during bounce-enhanced basketball games. The facility's two private party rooms host birthday celebrations that dazzle kids with pizzas, Cold Stone Creamery cake, and balloons in between their romps inside the climate-controlled gym. The center's invitation-creation center makes up quality invites so parents can use their time party planning instead of mastering calligraphy.280 Worcester Rd, Ste 103CFramingham, MA US
Jam TImeRead MoreWhen Malcolm and Mandy Sim welcomed two children into the world, the veterans of both the animation and theme-park industries visited numerous indoor play centers in Los Angeles, hoping to find the one that best suited their kids. Nothing quite clicked, however, which inspired the parents to call upon their entertainment backgrounds and develop their own indoor facility. Since relocating to the Boston area, the Sims have opened Jam Time, where youngsters ages 3 months to 6 years can surmount climbing structures, leap about in a bounce house, or shop in a pretend grocery market before whipping up faux souffl?s in the playhouse kitchen. Classroom sessions further engage tykes with art projects, science classes, and princess-etiquette lessons, where young ladies learn to detect whether evil witches have booby-trapped their science projects. Soft play toys engage visiting toddlers and infants, while adults surf free WiFi, sip gourmet coffee, or enjoy a treat from the organic snack bar.86 Powder Mill RoadMaynard, MA US
Witch's WoodsRead MoreWith three haunted houses, a spooky hayride, and a bustling carnival, Witch?s Woods is a Halloween theme park that rises from the mist for only one month a year. Ferried along by a sputtering tractor, Haunted Hayride passengers cower for 14 grueling minutes as they are assailed from all sides by zombies, werewolves, and ghouls. At the end of the ride, three paths lead to additional attractions, including Castle Morbid, in which medieval spirits chase interlopers through the halls and into the depths of the deep, where it becomes increasingly apparent that the weapons that once kept intruders out are now employed to keep them in. Nightmare Mansion is inhabited by a cursed family whose eternal life has left them as withered husks driven insane with rage at visitors who still possess the ability to die. The final path leads to the 3-D Keeper?s Crypt, where the undead shamble and scream as they pursue their prey, and where the walls themselves seem to be closing in. A creepy carnival awaits survivors with rides, games, and more attractions. The Horrorwood Chamber of Chills puts favorite Halloween and horror-movie characters on display, including such icons as Frankenstein, Freddy Krueger, and Mary Shelley?s original version of Shrek. Meanwhile, the Jack O? Lantern Jamboree displays rows upon rows of professional carved pumpkins, eerily glowing at self-guided passersby.79 Power Rd.Westford, MA US
Dedham Community TheatreRead MoreAn entertainment fixture since 1927, Dedham Community Theatre entices moviegoers with two large screens projecting contemporary independent films and a concession stand brimming with popcorn, snacks, and sodas.Settle into your choice of big-screen showings, which have recently included French film Sarah's Key, the romantic comedy Midnight in Paris, and The King's Speech, the dramatic biopic about Elvis' tenure as U.N. Secretary General. Twosomes and foursomes can nosh on concession stand favorites such as freshly buttered popcorn and or wine and beer from the theater's bar (not included with this Groupon) while soaking in the drama on screen.580 High StDedham, MA US
Funtagious Fun CenterRead MoreSquealing giggles and the buzzing of arcade games echo throughout the 10,000-square-foot Funtagious Fun Center, an indoor center filled with family-friendly attractions, voted "Best Family Fun Spot" by the Lowell Sun Poll. Underwater sea creatures, pirate treasure troves, and other deep sea features glow in Shankz, an indoor, black-light miniature golf course where golfers take aim at holes carved into pitch-black greens. The sound of toppling pins emanates from a quartet of miniature bowling lanes, where youngsters can roll strikes as easily as strongmen can squeeze butter out of a bundt cake. Guests can also square off in games of billiards, or at the "Balladium" ball blaster arena, the "Time Freak" time challenge arena, or take on classic arcade games such as skee-ball and air hockey.18 Pondview PlaceTyngsborough, MA US

WALLA WALLA -- There may have been beef for lunch, but cougars and wolves were the main items on the menu Tuesday at the Walla Walla County Fairgrounds.
In what may have been a first-ever meeting, ranchers, officials and wildlife workers gathered to talk about the two predators and hear information on the regulation and legal issues surrounding the animals.
The bulk of the meeting was taken up with discussions about the status of cougar and wolf populations and what options landowners have to deal with the predators. Steve Pozzanghera, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Eastern Washington regional director, presented data on both predators as well as fielded questions and comments from the audience.
Pozzanghera described how there has been a "huge evolution" in cougar management in Washington due to new methods of gathering information about populations through tracking collars and other methods. He outlined how WDFW sets harvest guidelines for cougar hunters and how it deals with "problem cats" that prey on livestock or pose a threat to humans.
During the discussion, several audience members expressed frustration over a ban on unrestricted use of dog packs to go after cougars, but efforts to overturn the ban have not been successful, even with the support of wildlife officials, said Jack Field, executive vice president of the Washington Cattlemen's Association.
"The (state) game department went toe-to-toe with us to allow hound hunting, but the bill died two years ago," he said.
Shifting to wolves, Pozzanghera outlined how wolves in Washington are protected by federal and state laws and discussed the latest information on where they appear to have established themselves.
The latest information shows two new packs appear to have joined the five confirmed groups in the state, Pozzanghera said. However, he cautioned, wolves can be seen in an area one year, then vanish the next, as was the case of one suspected pack.
"We had a lot of activity last year, but this year ... we currently are sitting with zero fresh sign," he said.
In response to a comment from an audience member that the federal government was "dictating to us why we must have wolves here," Pozzanghera said state wildlife officials are bound by law on the matter.
"WDFW has been provided with a mandate to preserve, protect and perpetuate native species, including returning species," he said. "It would take a (change in the law) to say preserve, protect and perpetuate native species, except wolves."
During the meeting, Walla Walla County Commissioner Greg Tompkins urged ranchers and landowners to work with their county and state legislators on the issues.
"It took us two years to get to this point and the county commissioners, here and elsewhere, are willing to help," he said, but others must get involved as well. I'm willing to carry the water, but you're going to have to give me a bucket and handle to help out," he said.

Oh Yes,the memories come back. My dad was my sponsor when I was 16 or so,we went down and got a brand new 74 CR250 Elsinore. I wanted a new Pomeroy Replica 250 Bultaco but the Honda was 100.00 less.
I was used to Bultacos as I had been racing a 200 for a couple years.
That Elsinore showed me who was boss more then a couple times.
I missed a shift on it one day in the heat of battle,the engine spun up so fast it destroyed the cases/cylinder,the rod snapped and spun around leaving a wide swath of destruction.
One brand new engine in the crate later and we were back in business. The chain popped off while a light kid was riding it,broke the gearbox all to hell but we saved the engine at least.
It also had an odd habit of sticking the throttle wide open,it did this when new,the shop couldnt figure it out,and neither could we. It did this off a tapped in 5th gear jump at a scrambles race.
I bailed off the back and slid to a stop,it continued on with stuck throttle flipping end over end launching itself way up in the air like a big shiny hooked salmon. Ripped tires off rims,bent the frame a lot,the seat was bent in half in the middle,both handlebars were like road race bars laying on the tank,tank was destroyed.
My girlfriends dad and I put it between a telephone pole and truck and used a come-along to straighten the frame out,then I traded it for a 56 Ford pickup with fat tires and nice mags.
I bought a 77 KTMGP250 shortly after and never looked back,never bought a Honda again.
Yours looks good with the red tank,better then the silver ones. I always ran the MT piston with the CR top end,lasted longer and had more low end grunt.
Some bikes around at times

New Haynes Library Construction Begins
(Click images for a larger version.)
While the Haynes Branch Library has worked well for more than 35 years, it no longer fulfills the 21st century service needs of the local communities it serves. The new library represents an investment in the future of the local communities and their children. It will provide the necessary resources for children to be successful in school and for residents to look forward to many more years of library services. The new branch will have an open floor plan. There will be room for twice as many public computers, more spaces for people reading and using laptops and tablets, there will be a separate children's section, and there will be a large community/meeting room at our new facility. The new building will provide not only more space, but more access to technology, a place to hold meetings, and access to a larger collection. There will be a focus to provide the children and teens of the area with the latest digital tools needed to be successful. The communities served by the new branch library will have a whole new library experience. We look forward to the completion of the new library in early 2016.

W.V. Raman is all set to return as coach of the Tamil Nadu cricket team. And Lakshmipathy Balaji is the front-runner for the post of the captain.
Interestingly, according to reliable sources from the TNCA, the State team will not have a bowling or a fielding coach this Ranji season.
Instead, the side will have a full-time assistant coach who will work under Raman.
If the need arises, a bowling or a fielding coach could be sent from the TNCA Academy for short durations to assist the team.
M. Sanjay is the leading contender for the job of the assistant coach. D.J. Gokulakrishnan is also in the fray. Sanjay was the fielding coach last season, while Gokulakrishnan oversaw the bowling department. Sridharan Sriram is expected to continue as the State 'A' team's coach.
The 48-year Raman, a former India Test batsman, is said to have beaten back challenges from B. Arun and Robin Singh. Arun is doing a laudable job as the bowling coach of NCA's bowling wing and there was a feeling that he must not be disturbed.
Robin Singh's credentials are impressive but there was a belief that he was too busy with other coaching commitments; he is the coach of Mumbai Indians in the IPL and of Barbados in the Caribbean twenty20 league. Mumbai Indians, in particular, has camps at different times of the year.
The fact that Raman worked with several State cricketers from the current crop between 2006 and 2010 also appears to have worked in his favour. He does bring with him tactical sophistication and man-management skills.
Currently with the Bengal team, Raman is likely to get the nod from the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) for the shift to Tamil Nadu.
Then the TNCA Executive Committee has to approve his appointment; this should be a formality after the decision had already been made.
The chemistry between Raman and Balaji is excellent and the two should gel as a coach-captain combination.
Keywords: W.V. Raman, Tamil Nadu coach, Tamil Nadu Ranji trophy coach
