Founded under the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 as the Massachusetts Agricultural College, UMass Amherst has long been dedicated to the study and teaching of agriculture and the natural sciences. One of two land grant institutions in the Commonwealth (along with MIT), the university has played an important role in the development of scientific agriculture in New England and has been a major factor in agricultural instruction through its classes and extension service.
SCUA's collections contain a wealth of information on the history of agriculture and related fields, including horticulture, botany, entomology, animal husbandry, gardening, and landscape design. The strength of the collection lies in documenting the development of American agricultural sciences with an emphasis upon the northeastern states, but it is supplemented with numerous works on British, French, and German agriculture. Adding additional depth are the records of the several departments at UMass Amherst charged with instruction in the agricultural sciences and the papers of individual agricultural educators.
Currently, SCUA is particularly interested in documenting the growth of organic agriculture, heritage breeds, and the practices of sustainable living.

Alternative Energy Coalition
Part of: Famous Long Ago Collection
Alternative Energy Coalition, ca.1975-1985.
Call no.: MS 586
A product of the vibrant and progressive political culture of western Massachusetts during the early 1970s, the Alternative Energy Coalition played a key role in the growth of antinuclear activism. In 1974, the AEC helped mobilize support for Sam Lovejoy after he sabotaged a weather tower erected by Northeast Utilities in Montague, Mass., in preparation for a proposed nuclear power plant, and they helped organize the drive for a referendum opposing not only the proposed plant in Montague, but existing plants in Rowe, Mass., and Vernon, Vt. Forming extensive connections with other antinuclear organizations, the AEC also became one of the organizations that united in 1976 to form the Clamshell Alliance, which made an art of mass civil disobedience.
The AEC Records provide insight into grassroots activism of the 1970s and 1980s, galvanized by the seemingly unrestrained growth of the nuclear power industry. The records, emanating from the Hampshire County branch, contain both research materials used by the AEC and organizational and promotional materials produced by them, including publications, minutes of meetings, correspondence, and materials used during protests. Of particular interest are a thick suite of organizational and other information pertaining to the occupation of the Seabrook (N.H.) nuclear power plant in 1979 and minutes, notes, and other materials relating to the founding and early days of the Clamshell Alliance. The collection is closely related to the Antinuclear Collection (MS 547).

Ambellan, Harold
Harold Ambellan Memoir, 2005.
Call no.: MS 855
A native of Buffalo, N.Y., the expatriot sculptor Harold Ambellan was a participant in the Federal Art Project during the 1930s and a figure in the radical Artists' Union and Sculptors Guild. After naval service during the Second World War, Ambellan left the United States permanently to escape the hostile climate of the McCarthy-era, going into exile in France. Although a friend of artists such as Pollock, de Kooning, and Rothko, Ambellan's work was primarily figurative and centered on the human form. His work has been exhibited widely on both sides of the Atlantic. He died at his home in Arles in 2006 at the age of 94.
In 2005, Victoria Diehl sat with her friend, Harold Ambellan, to record his memories of a life in art. Beginning with recollections of his childhood in Buffalo, N.Y., the memoir delves into the impact of the Great Depression, Ambellan's experiences in the New York art scene of the 1930s and his participation in the leftist Artists' Union, his Navy service, and his expatriate years in France from the 1950s-2000s. Ambellan's memoir also includes extended discussion of his views of democracy, patriotism, and art, and his career as a sculptor.

American Morgan Horse Association
American Morgan Horse Association Registry Records, 1911-1981.
Call no.: MS 781
In 1789, Vermont native Justin Morgan acquired a bay colt in Springfield, Mass., that became the progenitor of a distinctly American breed of general purpose horse. Noted for its stamina, strength, disposition, and beauty, the Morgan became widely popular in western Massachusetts and Vermont, eventually spreading nationally and internationally. To support the breed, the Morgan Horse Club (later the American Morgan Horse Association) was founded in 1909 and today maintains the breed registry, publishes The Morgan Horse magazine, and offers a wide range of public information and educational services.
The Registry records of the AMHA are a product of concern during the late 19th century for documenting and preserving the integrity of the Morgan breed and a means for breeders to certify pedigrees for their stock. In 1894, Joseph Battell published the first volume of the Morgan Horse and Register containing nearly 1,000 pages of pedigrees for "any meritorious stallion, mare, or gelding tracing in direct male line to Justin Morgan and having at least 1/64 of his blood," and although standards have been modified since, the registry remains the primary source for documenting the history of the breed. The records in this collection include approved applications for the AMHA registry, including pedigrees and supporting materials.

Anglin family
Anglin Family Papers, 1874-1955 (Bulk: 1914-1926).
Call no.: MS 699
Born in Cork, Ireland to a prosperous family, the Anglin siblings began immigrating to Canada and the United States in 1903. The first to relocate to Canada, brothers Will and Sydney pursued vastly different careers, one as a Presbyterian minister and the other as a salesman at a Toronto slaughterhouse. George and Crawford both served in the military during World War I, the former in the British Infantry as a medical officer and the latter in the 4th University Overseas Company first in France and later in Belgium where he died saving the life of a wounded soldier. Gladys Anglin trained as a nurse, but worked in a Canadian department store and at the Railway Office before suffering a mental breakdown and entering the Ontario Hospital as a patient. Ethel remained in Ireland the longest where she taught Domestic Economics at a technical school. The only Anglin to immigrate to the United States and the only female sibling to marry, Ida and husband David Jackson settled in Monson, Massachusetts where they raised four daughters.
The Anglin siblings were part of a close knit family who stayed in contact despite their geographic separation through their correspondence. Siblings wrote and exchanged lengthy letters that document not only family news, but also news of local and national significance. Topics addressed in their letters include World War I, the Irish revolution, medicine, religious ministry, and domestic issues from the ability of a single woman to support herself through work to child rearing.

Antinuclear Activism
Part of: Famous Long Ago Archive
Antinuclear Activism Collection, ca.1977-1990.
Call no.: MS 547
In the mid-1970s, Western Massachusetts was a hotbed of antinuclear activism, sparked both by the proposal to build a nuclear power plant in Montague, Mass., and by the construction and operation of plants nearby in Rowe, Mass., and Seabrook, N.H. A group of activists associated with the Liberation News Service and Montague Farm commune, including Anna Gyorgy, Sam Lovejoy, Harvey Wasserman, Steven Diamond, Chuck Light, and Dan Keller, were instrumental in organizing popular opposition to nuclear power and they helped establish several antinuclear organizations, ranging from the Alternative Energy Coalition to the Renewable Energy Media Service, Clamshell Alliance, and Musicians United for Safe Energy.
The Antinuclear Activism Collection contains the results of the grassroots opposition to nuclear power in Western Massachusetts. The bulk of the collections consists of a variety of publications produced by or collected by a group of antinuclear activists in Franklin County, Mass. In addition to a large number newspapers (e.g. Clamshell Alliance News) and pamphlets, the collection includes t-shirts and bumper stickers, ephemeral publications, notes, sporadic correspondence, and other information collected both for research purposes and to aid in their public campaigns. Of particular interest are a set of early minutes of the Clamshell Alliance Coordinating committee (1977-1978), and information on protests at the Seabrook and Rowe nuclear facilities and the proposed facility at Montague. The collection is part of the Famous Long Ago Archive.

Baker, Hugh Potter, 1878-
Hugh Potter Baker Papers, 1919-1951.
Call no.: RG 003/1 B35
Hugh Baker served as President during most of the existence of Massachusetts State College, taking office in 1933, two years after it changed name from Massachusetts Agricultural College, and retiring in 1947, just as the college became the University of Massachusetts. A forester by training, Baker began his career as a professor, and later dean, in the College of Forestry at Syracuse University. In 1920, he left Syracuse to become Executive Secretary of the American Paper and Pulp Association, and for nearly a decade, he worked in the forestry industry. He returned to academia in 1930, when he resumed the deanship at the New York State School of Forestry. During his presidency at Massachusetts State College, Baker oversaw the construction of improved housing and classroom facilities for students, a new library, the expansion of the liberal arts curriculum, and a near doubling of student enrollment. Further, chapel services were reorganized to be voluntary, and a weekly convocation was initiated. Baker also founded popular annual conferences on recreation and country life.
The Baker Papers include correspondence with college, state, and federal officials, college suppliers, and alumni; speeches and articles; reports and other papers on topics at issue during Baker's college presidency, 1933-1947, particularly the building program. Also included are several biographical sketches and memorial tributes; clippings and other papers, relating to Baker's career as professor of forestry at several colleges, trade association executive, and college president.

Belanger, J. William, 1907-1986
J. William Belanger Papers, 1932-1986.
Call no.: MS 117
A leader in organized labor, William Belanger began as an organizer for the AFL's United Textile Workers in 1932, eventually becoming the New England Regional Director and International Vice President of the TWUA and in 1958, the first President of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO.
The Belanger Papers provide insight into the long career in labor activism, and include correspondence, writings, subject files, and printed materials. Of particular interest is a series of four oversized scrapbooks that cover Belanger's career from 1934 through his final position as Director of the Massachusetts Department of Employment Security. These are especially enlightening on labor's political activities, the CIO's success in thwarting anti-labor referenda in 1948, and the efforts to expel Communists from the labor movement.

Call no.: MS 443
Labor historian John W. Bennett has researched the history of the labor movement since his days as an undergraduate at the University of Massachusetts (Class of 1952). A born collector, he began accumulating memorabilia associated with unions, drawn to their potential as a visual record of labor iconography and self-representation.

Confessing for Voyeurs;The Age of The Literary Memoir Is Now
By James Atlas
Published: May 12, 1996
It began, like any revolution, almost imperceptibly. Could it have been the tremendous success of "Darkness Visible," William Styron's memoir of his bout with suicidal depression, that opened the floodgates? Or was it "Girl, Interrupted," Susanna Kaysen's best-selling memoir of life in a mental institution? Or maybe it wasn't until Mary Karr burst on the scene last year with "The Liars' Club" that the full force of this new trend started to make itself felt. But if the monent of inception is hard to locate, the triumph of memoir is now established fact. Consider the evidence: nearly two dozen memoirs are being published this spring, with more to come, supplementing the 200 titles -- by one book review editor's estimate -- published last year. A random inventory of the galleys and review copies that have lately come across my desk: "First Comes Love," by Marion Winik, the tale of a Jewish Harvard-Law-School-bound poet from New Jersey and her marriage to a gay working-class Italian hairdresser doomed to die of AIDS (like any revolution); "The Net of Dreams," by Julie Salamon, about her parents' journey from Auschwitz to a small town in Ohio; "A Message From God in the Atomic Age," by Irene Vilar, the history of a suicide-afflicted family. (They're not all so dark: Daniel Duane's "Caught Inside," an ebullient memoir of growing up in California, is billed as "a cultural history of surfing.")
It's a democratic genre -- inclusive, a multiculturalist would say. The old and the young (Veronica Chambers, author of "Mama's Girl," is 25); the famous and the obscure; the crazy and the sane: the contemporary memoir is like the Nature Theatre of Oklahoma in Kafka's fable "Amerika," where everyone can be an artist. Everyone can be an autobiographer.
Even academia has got into the act. Down at Duke, always a reliable harbinger of the zeitgeist, lit. crit. has been virtually banished from the campus in favor of what the literary journalist Adam Begley has dubbed "moi criticism": the private confessions of professors. "Autobiography is the latest wave," writes Begley in a recent issue of Lingua Franca; the "first person singular" has become "one of the distinguishing marks of current academic writing." Frank Lentricchia, once a scholarly interpreter of T. S. Eliot, writes a seamy confession titled "The Edge of Night"; Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick abandons textual criticism in favor of a sexual self-exploration called "Tendencies." The unstable authorial "I" that came under assault in English departments across the land during the 70's and 80's now occupies center stage.
Why this pull toward the anatomy of self? In part, it reflects a phenomenon pervasive in our culture -- people confessing in public to an audience of voyeurs. In an era when "Oprah" reigns supreme and 12-step programs have been adopted as the new mantra, it's perhaps only natural for literary confession to join the parade. We live in a time when the very notion of privacy, of a zone beyond the reach of public probing, has become an alien concept. What Christopher Lasch famously labeled "the culture of narcissism" has been replaced by the culture of confession. It's a phenomenon that transcends high and low. Celebrity bios revel in the sexual peccadilloes of magnates and movie stars; John Updike, in "Self-Consciousness," recounts the time he brought a woman to orgasm in the back seat of a car while his unsuspecting wife sat in the front.
Why should aspirants to literature be immune to this climate of unbridled candor? As Robert Lowell, our great confessional poet, put it, "Why not say what happened?" There's no rule -- not even an ethical one -- to prevent the poet and former Princeton professor Michael Ryan, in "Secret Life," from revealing that he had sex with his dog. Writers no longer need to furtively disguise their transgressions as fiction. If Proust were writing today about his penchant for observing handsome young men stick hatpins in live rats, he wouldn't hide behind the Narrator of his novel: "A la Recherche du Temps Perdu" would be a memoir.
The license to tell all has produced a virtual library of dysfunctional revelation. What Joyce Carol Oates memorably called "pathography" -- biographies that dwell on the sordid excesses of their subjects -- has yielded to "autopathography," dwelling on the sordid excesses of oneself. Alcoholism is a particularly hot topic. (Caroline Knapp's "Drinking: A Love Story" will be in the stores next month.) So is mental illness. (See Kay Redfield Jamison's best-selling "Unquiet Mind.") Physical ordeals are also a memoiristic staple: the canon of contemporary autobiography includes two memoirs of facial disfigurement, Lucy Grealy's "Autobiography of a Face" and Natalie Kusz's "Road Song." (Kusz's face was nearly ripped off by an Alaskan husky when she was a child.) Our belief in the recuperative powers of letting it all hang out has never been stronger. The triumph of the therapeutic predicted by the sociologist Philip Rieff a generation ago is a reality.

Video: Man tosses bottle on Olympic track; gets ejected
Can't a guy just get drunk and throw a bottle without it becoming, like, mega?
Turns out that's what happened when some dude, described as the ubiquitous "40-year-old man," tossed a bottle at the track a few seconds before the final of the men's 100-meter dash at this whole Olympics shindig they're having in London.
The bottle was empty and it didn't hit anybody and ...
Several runners said they didn't know about the bottle until reporters told them afterward.
The bottle bounced a few times and came to rest in the lane occupied by Jamaica's Yohan Blake, who finished second in the race.
"I was so focused, I didn't see anything," Blake said.

, the Indian media and marketing portal, Jim Egan – chief executive of BBC World News – noted mobile consumption has increased in India at a very fast rate, and that Indian brands are becoming more engaged at a global level.
Seeking to gain from these trends, BBC World News – which derives one-third of its Indian revenue from advertising – hopes to boost its audience in the country from 30m households today to 129m homes next year, assisted by the digital roll out.
It will also launch the "India Direct Series" in February 2014 in the run-up to country's general election in May, with the series focusing on various aspects of everyday life in the country.
The series will follow on from similar programmes filmed in Singapore, Vietnam, Croatia, Mozambique, Canada, Georgia, Ecuador and Qatar, and will be broadcast to a global audience of 360m homes.
Egan expects the BBC's audiences in the US (about 30m households), Australia and Japan will be the most interested in the "India Direct Series", and suggested it could appeal to national advertisers in India, too.
"We are seeing more national advertising in India as brands are growing, movies are coming in the market and they want to advertise to the English-speaking audience," he said.
"It's difficult to give a percentage growth year on year, but it's not far from being half national and half global advertising," he added.
As part of its International Ad Forecast 2013-14, published in October 2013, Warc predicted TV would account for 38% of Indian adspend across all media this year, falling slightly to 36.4% in 2014.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three years, two elections, and one Supreme Court decision after President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, its promise of health care for the uninsured may be delayed or undercut in much of the country because of entrenched opposition from many Republican state leaders.
In half the states, mainly led by Democrats, officials are racing deadlines to connect uninsured residents to coverage now only months away. In others it's as if "Obamacare" — signed Mar. 23, 2010 — had never passed.
Make no mistake, the federal government will step in and create new insurance markets in the 26 mostly red states declining to run their own. Just like the state-run markets in mostly Democratic-led states, the feds will start signing up customers Oct. 1 for coverage effective Jan. 1. But they need a broad cross-section of people, or else the pool will be stuck with what the government calls the "sick and worried" — the costliest patients.
Insurance markets, or exchanges, are one prong of Obama's law, providing subsidized private coverage for middle-class households who currently can't get their own. The other major piece is a Medicaid expansion to serve more low-income people. And at least 13 states have already indicated they will not agree to that.

Oddly, I could not easily get this through the Tarter's dealers--minimum orders requirements and such.
Shipping: Box was banged up upon arrival, but the contents seemed to be OK.
Assembly: No instructions provided. Looked at web images of the rake to help me figure things out. The wheel and spacer fit into the yoke is snug, but with a bit of finagling, it did fit. Included were 2 zerk fittings which I assumed fit into holes in the castor collars.
Quality: All of the parts are beefy and well built. The wheels have grease fittings, a sign to me that Tarter's intention is for the bearings to hold up for a long time.

Rural King customer service was great. Product well made but it took some time to get the one bearing sleeve to fit in the wheel as something was not aligned. ended up grinding off some material off sleeve and it fit fine. Also hard to spread housing that holds wheel - takes one person to align and another to spread the flanges. Best value for not a lot of money

"Fusion cuisine is big. Fusion cuisine is important. Fusion cuisine is smart. Fusion cuisine is gimpy and obtuse and lazy and>"/>
"Fusion cuisine is big. Fusion cuisine is important. Fusion cuisine is smart. Fusion cuisine is gimpy and obtuse and lazy and ridiculous--gastronomy 101 for the over-educated, travel-sick and hopelessly romantic white jacket--and a sin like blasphemy against the church of flavor.
Fusion cuisine is one of those things--like writing terrible poetry, moving to New York or getting tattoos of cartoon characters--that seems like a good idea, maybe even an important idea, when you're young.
For chefs, it's almost a rite of passage--a thing you do because you feel like you've invented it, because it feels like everything else has already been done. Young chefs like fusion because they're in love with ingredients and technique and live in daily, quaking fear of canon. They do it because there is always a moment when it seems like a tofu pot pie with tamarind syrup or duck liver mousse gyoza with balsamic reduction would be a good idea. Because until you taste it one or a hundred times, everything seems like a good idea."
From "Thai Me Up," this week's review of Pinto Thai Bistro and Sushi Bar--the new Broadway fusion restaurant and mutt-Asian one-stop for yakisoba, tom yum and tekka maki.
"The Pinto Signature Maki is Pinto (the restaurant) defined by food. Listed among the sushi, coming from the short, overstocked sushi bar, it is (from the outside in), spicy tuna tartare with an honest kick of spice, planks of soft, buttery avocado and crisp cucumber, nori, a jumble of rice (pressed less expertly than I'd hoped, but nicely prepared), cross-cut yellowtail with a lovely texture and fresh, oily flavor, plucked leaves of cilantro, carefully sliced, quartered and peeled triangles of lime and massive piles of jalapeno slivers, mounded on like I'd won some sort of contest.
The Pinto Signature Maki is overwhelming, confused, aggressive with belligerent flavors all slugging it out, a little bit childish, joyous in its higgledy-piggledy mish-mash of Japanese and Thai and Mexican ingredients, original and strange.
It is also really, really tasty for about six bites, at which point something like oral jet lag sets in and the whole thing just becomes tiresome. It is a whiplash kind of thing, the difference between bold and exasperating coming in the space between bites and making you wonder what, exactly, it was you liked so much about it in the first place."
"The Japanese curry with beef at Pinto tastes like an Indian curry mated uncomfortably with a can of Dinty Moore beef stew. Over rice, it almost feels in the mouth like a cheap, mama-made-this gumbo--with a gumbo's thickness and stickiness and bright bloom of flavor. The satay is satay, the miso soup just miso soup. There is a gentleness to the Thai yellow curry that I like--a sense of competence in the kitchen embodied in a medium-heat curry that tastes rounded and whole. I eat it with a spoon like soup because the rice, for some reason, has a grainy texture to it I don't like--white but tasting almost like brown, with a bready aftertaste and the sense that I am eating something healthy against my will.
The gyoza, though, are perfect--thin-skinned, pan-fried hot and fast so they can't suck up a gulp of grease, then presented all hot and crisp and crackling with a smooth filling of chicken and vegetable paste. Alone, they are excellent. And somehow, dipped in the "soy vinaigrette" that comes on the side, they are even better. They shouldn't be, but they are. It is one of those moments where fusion pays off."
"Barely fusion, barely strange, it was nothing more than pad Thai topped with six tempura shrimp, plated simply and served. Under normal circumstances, I don't even like pad Thai. It's so overdone, so ubiquitous, that I will avoid it if there is anything else worth eating. At Pinto, though, it seemed a smart retreat, after course upon course of the non-traditional, to try a standard and see how it stacked up, to see how a kitchen that does the original both well and poorly by nothing more than subjective judgment would handle a classic dish for which there are a million possible comparisons."
"It is two kinds or restaurants in one, or maybe four: a Thai restaurant involved in some kind of high-speed collision with a fast-moving sushi bar, the inevitable tangle resulting in a mash-up (pure panang curry, pad see eiw and tom kha existing in discreet spaces, but rubbing up close against yakisoba with bonito, kanikama crab stick nigiri, futomaki, miso soup and gyoza) and, in the places where the wreckage becomes too entangled, too inseparable, a fusion bistro offering complete geo-social oddities like Samurai Pad Thai, Japanese curry stew, red mango maki with fruit salsa and mayonnaise and New York cheesecake topped with lychee syrup. There is no map that can define the boundaries of Pinto's catch-me-if-you-can menu. It is as international as some kind of psychotic Foreign Service lawn fete, as diverse as the line for the U.N. men's room after chili night in the canteen."

text: Universal has green-lit an animated version of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. Adding more intrigue to the project, Disney veterans Eric Golderg and David Reynolds (THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE) have been signed to direct and write the film respectively. Goldberg co-directed POCAHONTAS and was a key animator on such films as ALADDIN, HERCULES and FANTASIA 2000. Due to the fact that Tom Hanks' Playtone Prods. is producing the film, the TOY STORY star will most likely be a member of the voice cast. The book was originally published in 1963 and won the Caldecott Medal. The story follows mischievous Max who is punished by his parents after scaring the neighbors with his wolf costume. After he is sent to bed without dinner, he delves into an imaginary world where the monsters make him their king. The film is scheduled to hit theaters in Thanksgiving 2004 or summer 2005.

Game Description: Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge combines thrilling aerial combat with the swashbuckling style of a Hollywood action-adventure movie. Set in an alternate 1930s world of gunship diplomacy and sinister intrigue, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge lets gamers pilot powerful aircraft against nefarious air pirates and behemoth war zeppelins. As the daring air pirate Nathan Zachary, leader of the infamous Fortune Hunters, players take off on a high-flying adventure, filled with daring escapes and damsels in distress.
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge arrived with so much hype and fanfare that it's easy to forget that, at one time, it was nearly vaporware. After a dismal E3 showing a couple of years ago and tepid feedback from testers, Microsoft made the decision to halt the title in mid-development and start from scratch with a new team of artists, writers and programmers. Purportedly, the story fell flat and the action lacked any sort of panache that may have elevated it above standard arcade-shooter fare. Retooled with a completely new story and overhauled gameplay, Crimson Skies was set to be a premier Xbox showcase title and a boon for Xbox Live subscribers. Did Microsoft pull it off?
I suppose the most diplomatic answer is that it depends on what one might be expecting. The flying/shooting genre is inherently a limited one. After the Rogue Squadron and Ace Combat games, it's clear that mechanically, one way or another you are just going to be flying around trying to shoot stuff while trying not to get shot yourself. There is a little bit of flourish added to the mostly pedestrian mechanics in Crimson Skies—in the form of loops and rolls that can be executed with simple button combinations—that helps to elevate the gameplay, but for the most part it's nothing that will set the world on fire. The real key to the game's strengths lies in the way the mechanics are contextually applied. It takes some real creativity to breathe life into the "fly around and shoot stuff" framework, and it's clear the team at Microsoft tried very hard to squeeze every last bit of life out of this genre's aging gameplay.
A well told story that brings to mind the larger-than-life heroism and whimsical otherworldliness of Disney's The Rocketeer encapsulates the game. Though the game follows a mostly linear path to tell its story, it doesn't divide the gameplay up into the standard fare of loosely intertwined levels. Instead, there are large, open areas where players fly around and select missions at their discretion. It will generally be something along the lines of "protect this" or "blow up that." Now, generally that would be all she wrote and the game would simply be a scattering of similar mundane action sequences. But in a surprising twist, it mostly works.
Every action sequence is woven tightly into the story. While this alone isn't enough, it's done in way that keeps a little bit of tension and excitement to the action. For example, one sequence has a giant robotic spider thundering its way toward a character's mountaintop domicile, so targeting the beast's weak points gets tricky as it rumbles over and around hilltops. Missions may require players to protect a plane or location from unfriendly fire coming in the simultaneous forms of gunships, planes, and zeppelins; conversely, missions may take on a more routine offensive flare of destroying scattered targets or a well-guarded enemy stronghold. Regardless, the battles have a satisfyingly climatic feel, and the tricky-to-navigate locales keep the combat challenging.
But even though so much of Crimson Skies works and truly does a respectable job of adding some pizzazz to its increasingly arcane framework through a tightly wound narrative, I never felt that it was quit enough. Too often, despite the challenge and the variety of the missions, I found myself yearning to swap the disk out in favor of more unique fare. The game is enjoyable only so long as one can derive visceral pleasure from repeatedly pressing the "fire" buttons while zig-zagging through the game's tortuous environments—which is to say that it is without question a good bit of escapist fun, but its lack of substance begins to wear on the excitement. The environments are big and beautiful, to be sure, but they are devoid of interactivity. For example, if a fleet of gunboats are making their way to my friends' base by way of a canyon river, why can't I use those missiles of mine to knock a chunk of rocks off the cliff and block their entrance? Why can't I destroy any but the designated buildings—perhaps causing one to tilt onto an enemy zeppelin? What's more, the limited variety of weapons (despite being upgradeable, there is always just a primary and secondary fire) sap a bit of fun out of the gameplay.
As a multiplayer game, Crimson Skies fares adequately, roughly on par with MechAssault (minus the destructible environments, of course). There are plenty of modes available that, despite catchy monikers, are essentially variations on deathmatch and capture the flag. But the freedom to fly around and face human opponents in massive dogfights is a new experience on the Xbox, and despite its overall simplicity, it remains respectfully addicting.
Crimson Skies does so much to propel itself above mediocrity that it seems strange that, though it succeeds, it doesn't capture the robust energy of its larger-than-life story in its gameplay. It comes close, and close is enough to make it a worthwhile trek, but it's an adventure that never satisfies beyond a penchant for escapism.
In Mike Doolittle's review of Crimson Skies, although he had many splendid things to say about the game, I was surprised to see a rating that was just above average. Perhaps I tend to immerse myself in a game world too deeply, from reading the backstory to wondering what experience the designers expected me to have as the roguish pilot Nathan Zachary. What I found at the end of my journey was a far richer experience overall than Mike gave the game credit for.
The game should appeal to fans of old time serials and alternate history as the storyline very solidly puts together a world where Tales of the Gold Monkey meets Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow. In fact, Sky Captain even seems to be directly lifting part of its professor plotline from Crimson Skies (insert spoiler embargo here). Fans of the Shadowrun novels and role-playing games will recognize a world where the U.S.A. no longer exists—a world divided into nation states, some of which have become Native American strongholds. To this end, the game incorporated these story elements extremely well into all of the major areas open to exploration. Each of these environments has their own unique challenges and villains, and their variety should be commended.
What the planes may lack in firepower (with only primary and secondary weapons), they make up in the variety of aircrafts I could fly. Some ships were more suited for certain situations and tasks. Flying through tight canyons required the use of a mini-gyro whereas taking on dogfighters in the tranquil mountainous terrain of SeaHaven was better suited to the Devastator and its magnetic rockets. Each aircraft requires its own special handling and deciding which approach would work best kept the game from getting dull.
There is not enough credit given to the sandbox aspects of this game either. Most flight games feel forced, lumbering ahead mission after mission, never allowing free roaming exploration or offering the joyful experience of casually flying about. Here, however, the thrill of flying into SeaHaven's active volcano to collect tokens for upgrades (all while listen to the Philip Glass-ian soundtrack that perfectly captures the mood) is just one of many exciting touches to be experienced. There was plenty to keep me occupied including harrowing races and, my personal favorite, attacking unsuspecting zeppelins to earn a little extra cash for my fortune hunter.
Crimson Skies is well above the mark of mediocre and deserving of a better score than first given. It's definitely not a flight sim, but the theatrical presentation, cinematic elements, and storytelling mentioned above made it a thumb-crampingly wonderful experience for me.
According to the ESRB, this game contains: Mild Language, Violence
Parents have little to sweat. It's an action-adventure with only mild violence, much in the vein of the Indiana Jones films.
Xbox owners, and especially Xbox Live subscribers, should give the game a look, though a rental is more prudent than a purchase on this one—that is of course you are a die-hard fan of flying games. If you enjoy games like the Rogue Squadron series, you'll definitely get a kick out of Crimson Skies.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers will miss out on the banter and the some significant audio cues, but the game will still be playable.

"Poor Typographical Design"
Don Dennis
06 April 2015
This is probably a very good book. But sadly, it appears to have been designed by someone in their 20's or 30's who has superb eyesight. The size of the printed text is so small, I cannot read it without resorting at times to a magnifying glass. If it were re-designed, with a normal font size, I would buy it. I can read newspapers, and almost any book I choose to read. I have also designed and printed books myself. I cannot imagine what justification the designer had in mind, but they were certainly aiming the book at young cooks. A great pity.

We Named Chris Pratt - Indiana by RahzzahWatch

admit it...you kinda really want this
He looks so good in this outfit and now I can't stop thinking about it love that idea so much C :
...so very hot!
He is perfect for the role in my opinion.
I will cry if he isn't
(Bit dramatic, but that's just who I am XD )

Chris Pratt...wow! So cool...!
Yeah, it works.
Chris Pratt brought Peter Quill to life in 'Guardians of the Galaxy', will be ideal as Indiana Jones. I have loved 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', since first watching it when I was 9 years old in 1981, and can imagine Chris as pictured. Certainly not Shia LaBeouf.
Oh, I really like this idea.
He could be a good young Indiana Jones.
He could be a good young Indiana Jones.
Everyone does!
He could actually pull it off!
He could actually pull it off!
Strangely enough I could see this happening.
oh that looks epic *dies*
Totally, Totally convinced that this needs to happen. Excellent Work!!
Will not work. Sorry but Harrison Ford is the only REAL true Indy! This will destroy the Legend!
They destroyed the legend with Indiana Jones 4 and Harrison Ford couldn't do anything about it...
If Chris Pratt is going to be Indiana Jones in a reboot... I'd watch it
There is gonna be an Indiana Jones reboot... And guess what? They want Chris Pratt as Indy!!!
This casting decision could work, plus the movie could also have an Old Indiana Jones played by Harrison Ford reminiscing and narrating the story of that adventure.
that would be perfect. start the movie with Old Indy, now a full time teacher since his body cant keep up. he's teaching a class. some of hte students get small amount of information of one of Indys story. the students beg for him to tell the story and he reluctantly agrees. then start the flash back and bring in Chris Pratt
Hidden by Commenter
Yes! I would love this so much! They should reboot Indiana Jones, and have Chris Pratt star in it! That would be heaven!
Mackland YOU GENIUS!
now I do
yes please
This is not Harrison Ford?!
Wow! He really could take up the role of younger Jones!
Great idea!
Wow! He really could take up the role of younger Jones!
Great idea!
I like the idea. After seeing Guardians of the Galaxy I can see him in the role. Well done.
Niiiice. As much as I'm a Harrison fan, I'd rather see a young Chris Pratt, than an old Ford.
I want this to happen so much you have no idea...he looks perfect as Indy!
I can totally see this X3! Leggo START A PETITION! You better have this sent to his manager or to the producers of Indiana Jones or something
I want this so bad, I have no words.
So awesome! Not kind of, I really want Chris to be Indiana Jones. I saw your image today on Geek Tyrant. I also saw another image of Chris Pratt as Indiana Jones here: twitter.com/JS_Skye/status/497…
I could live with that. A this point it would be better than seeing a too old Harrison Ford do another one. Indiana has surely had many untold adventures from when he was younger.
I had honestly thought for a moment that this had been Ford with a little editing.
Nicely done.
Nicely done.
If they ever remade Indiana Jones or made a new set of movies, this convinces me that Chris Pratt should play Indiana Jones. Nice editing.
a new indiana jones
i bet he can be useful for SW7
a new indiana jones
i bet he can be useful for SW7
i dont mind saying i do
You're right! I do want this!

The tubes were too short to make the hands-free dystem usable, I returned it thinking is was a fluke. Nope, Second one showed up with the wrong length tubes as well. A call to leatt proved that they don't know much about their own product. Couldn't even get them to send me another tube so I could make the proper length. I had to rob a tube from another bladder I had lying around and basically reengineer the wole hands-free drinking system. The back pack quality is not good. I wouldn't put anything in that "cargo" pouch as the zipper is vertical and could open up on you. This is not the quality that I expect from Leatt. Not worth the money.Read All Reviews

I rode for years without a chest protector because I thought they were uncomfortable. Not so with the hydra 4.5! It is very comfortable and fits well with plenty of adjustment. I am 235lbs 6' tall and it fits perfect. Having 3 liters of water is a must for me and it stays put you don't even know it's there. I am more pleased with this purchase than most I make for riding gear.Read All Reviews

Spotlight on ... Jacob Donaldson
"Moon Over Buffalo" represents the last high school play for our seniors, and it stars one senior in particular who has had a very busy semester, and who plans to major in theater at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., after graduation. Jacob Donaldson played Reverend Hale in The Crucible, and since then was not only recently seen as Johnny Casino in "Grease" here, but he also has written and performed his own play as his senior studies project. In addition, Jacob founded an improv club at Rock Canyon High School, and recently enlisted the help of the Key Club to hold an improv festival on April 1st that raised over $700 for tsunami victims in Japan. He also had a lead role in the advanced drama class' production of "Dearly Departed" on April 13, and now is the main character in "Moon Over Buffalo."

The $300 million Medicaid fix that Sen. Mary LandrieuMary Landrieu oil is changing the world and Washington Ex-Sen. Kay Hagan joins lobby firm Republican announces bid for Vitter's seat MORE got inserted into the Senate healthcare bill wasn't the first "Louisiana Purchase" of the healthcare debate.
Before Rep. Joseph Cao (La.) cast the lone Republican vote for the healthcare bill in the House, he secured assurances from President Barack ObamaBarack ObamaMcConnell will support Trump Obama meets 'Little Miss Flint' Obama: Flint crisis caused by 'a culture of neglect' in government MORE to work on Medicaid funding, loan forgiveness and issues related to two of his local hospitals.
Those pledges are a little less concrete than the $300 million Medicaid fix that Landrieu (D-La.) says is needed because disaster-relief money has skewed funding ratios by making her state appear wealthy.
But it's one of several last-minute deals cut as Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) rounded up the last votes they needed to pass the healthcare bill in the House earlier this month, and members found that there was a way to make a controversial vote for the bill pay off.
Besides the promises secured by Cao, the best-known deal involved Reps. Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa, two Blue Dog Democrats from the Golden State who secured funding for a medical school for California's Central Valley.
Other lawmakers won carve-outs for their state healthcare systems.
Rep. Mazie HironoMazie HironoCarter pledges probe of sex assault testimony GOP blocks slate of Obama judicial nominees Sanders takes Hawaii MORE (D-Hawaii) got her state's existing health program exempted by what the Honolulu Advertiser called the "Hirono Amendment." As a result, the reform measures will be a non-event for many people in Hawaii.
Hawaii's Prepaid Healthcare Act of 1974 mandates employer-sponsored healthcare insurance for Hawaiian workers who regularly work 20 or more hours a week, and the state already has the second-lowest uninsured population in the country.
Lawmakers from Massachusetts ensured that their state's universal coverage program, the Health Insurance Connector, could continue operating independently. The program was a model for the "exchanges" in the Democrats' national bill, but some drafts of the healthcare bill would have left the program's future in question or might have weakened its ability to negotiate with insurers. Massachusetts officials say the program is working well and should be left alone.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs refused to weigh in on Landrieu's deal Monday afternoon. He referred questions to the Senate, saying he had not spoken with Obama about it.
Last-second trade-offs are hardly a novel concept. Wavering legislators, fearful that a vote could cost them back home, hold out until leadership promises them a little sweetener.
"I believe there is a long tradition," said Carl Tobias, a law professor and political observer at the University of Richmond.
Pelosi packed a 300-page last-minute "manager's amendment" to the cap-and-trade vote in July with carve-outs, regulatory exemptions and tax breaks to win the votes of fence-sitting lawmakers. It included language making it harder to develop wind power in western states and a section by Rep. Melissa Bean (D-Ill.) to prevent regulatory action she said could shut down the multitrillion-dollar market for over-the-counter derivatives.
And Republican leaders made all sorts of promises during the infamous three-hour vote in 2003 to pass Medicare prescription drug coverage. They stretched a 15-minute vote to three hours while they wheeled, dealed and pleaded with Republican lawmakers. Then-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) offered to endorse the son of then-Rep. Nick Smith (R-Mich.), who was seeking his father's seat. Months later, DeLay was admonished by the ethics committee for his handling of Smith that night. During the investigation, it was even alleged that another lawmaker offered to get Smith's daughter an acting job in Hollywood.

Why Watch? The full title should end with "About How We're Incredibly Small But Definitely More Than A Little Bit Clever."
So we're this speck on another speck that only seems enormous to us because of how tiny we are. Yet it's tiny compared to the sea of space around it. It's even tiny compared to other specks. So how do we know how far away the others specks are? Isn't that a bit like ants measuring how far away a mountain is?
This beautiful video – comprised of simple animation and some adorable light bulbs – is as informative as it is entertaining. Seriously. In just four minutes you'll be able to sound far smarter than you actually are.
What will it cost? Only 4 minutes.

Spyders Widen Web
(STT), has announced that it's rebranding its exchange-traded funds so they all will carry the popular Spyder brand name.The rebranding effort began Monday and is expected to be completed this year. All tickers for the ETFs will remain the same. The first Spyder ETF, which also was the first ETF to hit the market, launched in 1993 and was formally known as the S&P Depositary Receipts S&P 500 Index (SPY). The acronym for S&P Depositary Receipts, SPDR, was the basis for the nickname Spyders, the root of which is the ticker SPY. State Street later launched several other ETFs under the Spyder brand name, including ETFs that track specific sectors of the market and industries. State Street also has launched ETFs under the brand name streetTracks and was behind the Dow Diamonds (DIA) ETF. Future ETFs that State Street launches also will be branded Spyders. James Ross, senior managing director of State Street Global Advisors, says that research into the retail, advisory and institutional spaces found that the Spyder brand name "really stands out on its own" as a quality brand. "I think it helps to differentiate products in the marketplace, in particular a marketplace that is getting more crowded every day," he says. Ross declined to make any predictions about how the rebranding could affect State Street's ETF assets -- at the end of 2006, the company had $101.88 billion in ETF assets. However, he says the biggest impact likley will be in the retail and advisory channels, as they will be able to better identify the suite of products with the brand. Ross adds that he expects the rebranding to have an immediate impact on investor awareness, particularly because the company also has launched a large campaign to promote Spyders. In addition to renaming many of its ETFs, State Street also rebranded itsArachnophobes beware: The Spyders are multiplying. State Street Global Advisors, the investment management arm of State Street
Spyders Web site
, introduced a new logo -- which as you probably guessed is a spider -- and began a major ad campaign based on the slogan "Precise in a world that isn't." The commercials began airing last week.
Tony Rochte, head of U.S. intermediary sales and client service at State Street Global Advisors, says: "The new brand platform centers around the concept of precision in two ways. ... First, the suggestion of SPDR product's purity, and second, what investors look for in an investment: a vehicle that helps them to precisely match their investment strategy."

Katie Christ: All Hail Olive Oil, Ice Cream and Crack
Being a consummate generalist, I'm in awe of specialists. You know—people who dive full bore into their subject or project and emerge with pure genius. Perhaps it's a hopelessly wandering curiosity that plagues me, but I readily admit to not possessing this kind of attention span or drive. Whatever it is, I'm grateful to the specialists of our local food world for sharing the delicious outcome of their passions.
21st Amendment's Spring Tweet: A Beer to Tweet About
Twitter has reached new heights this morning—21st Amendment brewer Shaun O'Sullivan is live-tweeting (is that an oxy-moron?) the brewing process of his latest creation: a spring ale made with floral, spicy hops, a brew he called "light, refreshing and drinkable"—in other words, perfect for spring. After soliciting name suggestions from his twitter feed followers (go on, follow it now!) they finally settled on a name, Spring Tweet. Ah, shucks. All day today Shaun will be posting pictures and step-by-step updates; I suggested that for his next beer, he let his followers help make decisions, via tweets, at critical junctures. What type of malt to use? What type of hops?

More Pinot: Taste With Me at the Jug Shop or Online
Just a heads up. I have a new book out, Passion for Pinot. In support of it (and wine, and life in general) I'll be tasting a few Pinots at the Jug Shop tomorrow live in-store with live people. But everyone else in the world can taste along with me via Twitter Taste Live, a supercool new organization that connects interested people with the producers and tastemakers of all things good to drink, eat, smoke (legally) and, as they say, "anything related to 'tasting'."
California Pinots at their Finest
Eric Asimov, the New York Times' wine writer, has a great article in this week's NYT dining section about the changing style of California Pinot Noir. Asimov declares that he favors a lighter, more subtle, food-friendly style of Pinot and I whole-heartedly concur. But while this style has long been out of favor in this state, it's starting to come back. He hits on a lot of my favorite producers (people we've featured previously in 7x7, I might add) like Au Bon Climat, Copain, Calera and Peay. All these wines are worth trying if you see them in a shop or on a wine list. None of these wines are hard to find.

Monday Nights, Jardinière, Good Deal
On Monday night, when I was recovering from my vacation by gazing longingly at photographs of the Costa Rican beaches, my intrepid understudy Robin was hard at work at Jardinière, sampling her way through the restaurant's new Monday night menu, a $45 prix-fixed four-course meal (with wine!) with a theme that changes weekly. For the kick-off they served a Oaxacan meal comprised of ceviche, cactus-and-white-bean soup and duck in black mole, concluding with cinnamon churros and Oaxacan hot chocolate. I am a little bit sorry to have missed this one, to be perfectly honest, but another chance—three more, actually—exists. For the remaining Monday nighs in March, here's the line-up:

This is the same picture as Pride in the 7 sins series. I loved the render concoction i put together and wanted sometihng a little darker for the bg so the lightness of it all would stand out better.
Very cool
I really like the contrast on this one, Makes it stand out
What'll the color scheme be on this?
What'll the color scheme be on this?
nice, think the darker one is way better
what is so funny?
i meant the lightness to represent sort of a spotlight feel, cause with pride you feel like your "all that," but as i was making the wallpaper dark, i was thinking the same thing.

Thomas Jefferson swivel Windsor
I used your Real Milk Paint® on this Thomas Jefferson swivel Windsor. It's Black over Terra Cotta, the quality of your paint is unmatched.

"The Old Look" Fine Milk Painted Pieces by Scott L. Mc Ilvain
5499 Leewood Lane York, PA 17406 717-252-2470
Unlike many reproductions, JCWoodworking uses only materials and methods dating to the mid 1800's or earlier. Every piece is hand made using mortise and tenon joinery and hand made oak pegs. Each piece is marked with a maker's mark and has a parchment paper attached to the bottom which details the history of the material used to build the table. Parchment paper reads: Harvest Table: The boards used to make this tabletop are unique due not only to their age, but also to their width of 19 1/4″ each. The boards are now in their third life. They were originally part of an early 1700's farmhouse and were reused in the attic of a second farmhouse in Ottsville, Pa. in 1841. In 2005, I dismantled that house and used the boards to make the tabletop you now see. The legs are cut from white pine beams reclaimed from a barn in Western Pa. and the aprons are made from white pine flooring. The base was built using mortise and tenon joinery and the entire table is secured with hand made wooden pegs. The tabletop is a scrub top finish and the base is finished with a coat of "Pearl" Real Milk Paint® followed by a coat of hot tung oil. Every one of my pieces is unique and each board has a history all its own. It is my hope that you and yours enjoy much food and fellowship around this table for many years to come!

Antique Wagon Restoration
Congratulations to Ed Malachosky in completing his Eagle Scout project. Ed took on the project of restoring this Antique wagon that will be on public display. Ed had quite a time finding all the correct period hardware as well as a wheel wright to help repair the wheels. The Real Milk Paint Co. was happy to take part in donating the "Green" milk paint and Pure Tung Oil for the finish. Congratulations Ed for saving a part of history for the next generation.
Windsor Chairs
Throughout the 1700's and 1800's Windsor chair building in the United States took place along the Eastern coast. Because of the craftsmanship and construction techniques, many two hundred year old chairs are still today sound pieces of furniture. These chairs are some of the world's most loved antiques. We continue that chair making tradition here at The Windsor Chair Shop, using the same construction techniques and tools as those used 200 years ago.
Windsor chairs built in the 1700's and 1800's were finished with Milk paint. Made from organic compounds including earth pigments, lime, and milk proteins this non toxic finish is attractive and very durable. We offer several variations of this finish.
Authentic Bench-Made Windsor Chairs
from M&E Gummel Chair Works
M&E Gummel Chairworks is guided by a father and son dream to have a family business building furniture together. They want to introduce to you the products of that dream, their Windsor Chairs. They strive to focus on the natural beauty, lines construction and techniques of the designs used in 1730-1840 America. They use authentic milk paint to achieve the powdered, patina finish that you would find on period furniture. Whether applied in one coat or layers of authentic, colonial colors the natural texture of the wood remains. Each piece is hand rubbed as though years of use had worn the arms & spindles to a warm polish. Add a century of age to your chair by choosing the antique, crackle finish. Their Windsor chairs are graceful in appearance and will blend nicely with your well-loved antiques.
If you are in historic Castine, Maine please visit their shop, an 1895 barn in the process of being reborn, and see for yourself. Or view stunning photos of these magnificent chairs at www.gummelchairworks.com.
Here are some photos of pieces that I have done using your paint. I have tried many varieties, even making my own. However, I enjoy your paint the best. Pure colors that blend easily and bond well to the antique pine that I paint. Many of my customers have expressed interest in using milk paint themselves. No other paint creates a patina quite like your milk paint.

Projects with Real Milk Paint
Thank you so much! Yes you can post these. I was hoping you would. As for the projects I also like to re-purpose things in my projects. The 2 door jelly cupboar is Black Iron over Soft White milk paint. The doors are old window shutters from a house. The hall tree is cream over Pink Salmon with barn wood shelf brackets and arm rests. The seat and lower shelf are Mahagany flooring left over from my front porch stained with believe it or not White vinegar/steel wool solution that turned the wood black. The wall shelves are Pink Salmon and Mustard over Raw Umber. These are made with barn wood faces. The Wash stand end table I made from scratch with a Butternut top. This is Squash over Raw Umber with hardware from Van Dykes Restorers. The inside is Cream over Raw Umber. The back slats are old Cedar lap siding from my daughters house that was never used. Then finally the stepped back hutch is one of my favorites. This is Raw Umber over my White vinegar solution stain finished with water based polly. The doors are from and old salvaged house door. The finial turnings I salvaged from a furniture factory that went out of business.
The box is Sapphire blue over Stoneware and for the cupboard I used Stoneware on the outside with Mustard inside.
Mustard & deep sapphire & terracotta.
These are done in stillwater grey.
This table is done in stone blue.
