What is a genetic counselor?A genetic counselor is a health professional specially trained to understand and interpret your genetic information and the likely genetic consequences of a pregnancy between you and your partner. Genetic counselors can help you determine if you want to pursue any genetic testing, screening, or preventative measures. A genetic counselor can help you examine and make decisions about genetic factors that might place you at higher risk for having a baby with hereditary diseases or birth defects. Genetic counselors also provide emotional support and can refer you and your family to community or state support services, if needed.
Medical conditions that occur or have occurred at some time in your family can be passed on through you. Talking with a genetic counselor is often the first step toward understanding and dealing with your inherited risks. Getting this information while you are planning to get pregnant can help you prepare and make informed decisions throughout your pregnancy.
Why would I want to see a genetic counselor?You may want to consider genetic counseling if you and/or your partner:
What inherited conditions suggest a consultation with a genetic counselor?You might want to talk to a genetic counselor if any of the following conditions are present on either side of your families:
Achondroplasia (a form of dwarfism)**
Canavan Disease*
Cleft Palate
Club Foot
Congenital (inherited) Heart Disease
Cystic Fibrosis*
Gaucher's Disease*
Huntington's Chorea (a debilitating neurological condition)
Mental Retardation (Fragile X Syndrome, some forms of Down Syndrome)
Hydrocephalus ("water on the brain")
Muscular Dystrophy
Polydactylism (extra toes or fingers)**
Sickle Cell disease or trait*
Tay-Sachs trait or disease*
** Autosomal dominant inherited pattern- only one parent has to carry the gene; the parent usually has the disease, and each child has a 50:50 chance of inheriting it
*Autosomal recessive diseases- diseases that both parents carry in their genetic make-up; the child has to inherit one copy of the gene from each parent in order to get it. If a woman and her partner both carry the gene, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that the baby will have that disease. If only one parent carries the gene, the baby will not have the disease.
What inherited diseases are most common in certain ethnic groups?Among the most common inherited diseases by ethnic group are:
Sickle Cell Anemia, a blood disorder that mainly affects people of African descent
Tay-Sachs Disease, a central nervous system disease that primarily affects Jewish people of Eastern European ancestry
Thalassemia, a group of blood disorders that mainly affect people of Mediterranean, African, and Southern Asian descent
Cystic Fibrosis, a disorder of the lungs and digestive system that mainly affects Caucasians
What happens during a visit to a genetic counselor?Typically, when you go to see a genetic counselor, you will discuss background medical information about you and your partner. This may include information about your family history, your own medical history, and any previous pregnancies. Before the meeting, you can help by preparing a health family tree going back three generations. You may also be asked to bring your medical records as well as photos of any members of your family with possible genetic disorders.
In some cases, the counselor may offer carrier testing, usually a blood test, to help determine if you or your partner has genes that increase the chances that you will have a child with a certain inherited disease or birth defect. After you become pregnant, there will be further genetic tests you can take to determine if your fetus has a genetic disorder.
The cost of genetic counseling and testing can range from under $100 to over $2,000, depending on what tests are required, but average between $175 and $300. Some health insurance plans cover these costs, especially if your doctor recommends it.
What if tests show that there is a risk that we might pass on an inherited disorder?The genetic counselor should ask about your concerns and guide you toward information on specific birth defects that will help you make informed decisions. This is a totally personal choice. Counseling enables you and your partner to educate yourselves about potential challenges and to talk through some difficult questions before a baby is even part of the equation. Counseling can also help you and your partner prepare for any medical or social needs for your baby before it is born.
Where can I find a genetic counselor?Many large medical centers offer genetic counseling. Your primary health care provider can probably refer you to one. Also, this website resources to help you find a genetic counselor. Many genetic counselors become certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling as a way to attest to their acquired knowledge and skills.
What effect will all this new genetic research have on my pregnancy?The field of human genetics has seen enormous breakthroughs recently. In coming years, gene therapy -- the manipulation of genes to fight or prevent diseases -- will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the incidence (new cases) and prevalence (total cases) of genetic diseases and birth defects. The treatment or elimination of inherited diseases or birth defects could one day become a reality, but right now the field is still young.

Jurors Hear Opening Statements and Testimony On Jandreau Trial
(Le Mars) -- Jurors for the Matthew Jandreau case heard opening statements from the attorneys, as well as the first three witnesses for the state's case. Prosecuting attorney Darrin Raymond told jurors he intends to show how the defendant caused a series of criminal events on March 2nd. The defendant's attorney, Mike Williams, told jurors that his client was intoxicated with alcohol at the time and there was no intent with any of the said charges. The prosecution brought to the stand three witnesses during the first day of the trial. Jurors heard from Plymouth County Communications supervisor Curt Hadding as he described the multiple 9-1-1 emergency calls that came into the Communications center on the morning in question. Hadding said it was a "chaotic morning" The first 9-1-1 call was from a woman that said somebody was trying to break into her home through the back door. Hadding said while he was dispatching officers to the address a second, and even a third 9-1-1 calls were received, all related incidents. The third call came from the home of 126 2nd Ave. Southwest. Only screaming from what appeared to be from a juvenile female was heard on the third 9-1-1 call. Sgt. Rick Singer was the second witness for the prosecution. Singer reported how he had entered the home and screams led him to the basement to find Matthew Jandreau with a female juvenile. Singer testified saying the defendant, Jandreau was on his knees with his pants down to his ankles and what appeared that he was holding the juvenile around the waist. Singer also testified that the female juvenile was screaming and appeared naked from the waist down. Singer also testified about a van that was parked in the middle of the street. Later it was learned the van had role in the investigation related to Jandreau. The third witness was Walter Hesselink who resides at 126 2nd Ave. Southwest. Hesselink testified he saw the defendant at the J and J Cafe truck stop. Hesselink says Jandreau appeared was "walking strange and acting strange." Hesselink said of Jandreau that "he looked like he was talking to himself". He characterized Jandreau's actions as being "fidgety." As a twisted part of fate, it would be nearly twenty minutes later that Jandreau would be arrested after having entered Hesselink's home and be seen with Hesselink's eleven year old granddaughter, while the granddaughter was screaming. The trial continues today beginning at 9:00 a.m.
Branstad Says Iowa Not Ready For Federal Health Care Act
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Gov. Terry Branstad plans to tell the federal government Friday that Iowa still doesn't have enough information to move forward with a state-based insurance marketplace that is required under the federal health care law.
The federal government has imposed a Friday deadline for states to confirm whether they will create their own health exchanges for consumers and small businesses. States don't have to provide
specific details about their plan until next month, but those that don't declare their intention by the deadline will have to move forward with a state-federal partnership or a federal takeover - at
least for now.
Branstad spokesman Tim Albrecht says the federal government has set arbitrary deadlines for the states without answering basic questions that would help Iowa officials choose the best option.
Counterfeit Bills Passed In Des Moines
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say more counterfeit bills have been passed at businesses in the Des Moines area.
The rash of cases began Monday, when two fake $100 bills were passed at a fast-food restaurant.
On Tuesday a bank discovered a counterfeit $50 that had been deposited Monday by a different restaurant. Also Tuesday, someone tried to pass a fake $50 at another restaurant but left after an
employee determined the bill was a counterfeit.
Authorities say there have been a total of five cases in the past four days.
Des Moines Police Department spokesman Jason Halifax says counterfeiting is not unusual in the area, but the occurrences usually are more sporadic than the recent spate.
Investigators aren't sure whether the cases are related.
Investigation Shows Bus Driver Did Nothing Wrong
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Des Moines officers have concluded no charges are warranted against a school bus driver accused of shoving students and yelling at them during their ride home.
A group of parents whose kids attend South Union Elementary School filed a police report that said the driver physically assaulted several students on Monday afternoon and used profanities when addressing the children and their parents.
The parents also contacted district officials and asked that the driver be fired. District officials said they investigated the incident and found no merit to the parents' allegations.
Police Sgt. Jason Halifax says that detectives made their determination after reviewing a security video from the bus.
Gay Rights Groups Host Seminar
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Gay rights groups are hosting a panel discussion to discuss the future of the LGBT movement in Iowa after they claimed major victories in last week's elections.
One Iowa and Lambda Legal will host the event Thursday at the Pappajohn Education Center in Des Moines.
Speakers will discuss the impact of voters' decisions to retain Justice David Wiggins on the Iowa Supreme Court and keep Democrats in control of the Iowa Senate.
Wiggins participated in the 2009 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in Iowa, and he defeated an attempt by social conservatives to oust him. Renewed Democratic control of the Senate means that attempts to amend the constitution to ban gay marriage will fail.
Panelists include One Iowa executive director Donna Red Wing and Iowa Democratic Party Chair Sue Dvorsky.
Mortgage Broker Convicted of Fraud
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A federal jury has convicted the former president of the Iowa Association of Mortgage Brokers in a fraud scheme that prosecutors say almost cost some homeowners their homes to foreclosure.
The U.S. attorney's office says Paul Kramer, of Granger, was convicted of 18 counts of wire and bank fraud on Wednesday in Des Moines. Kramer owned a mortgage brokerage and closing company.
The jury also convicted Lane Anderson, of Altoona, on two counts of conspiring with Kramer to commit bank and wire fraud.
Kramer and Anderson worked together to obtain $1.5 million in mortgage loans using the name and credit score of a contractor who didn't qualify for the loans. Kramer eventually took funds from the
closing company for his mortgage brokerage. Those funds should have paid off mortgages.

Since the Announcements forum won't allow me reply, I am posting this here.
Earlier this month, Zimbra announced they will not be letting go of Briefcase despite the rollout of Horizon Suite which is not cost-effective and overkill for many Zimbra customers. VMWare will never get these customers to buy such a thing due to cost, lack of in-house IT competence and hardware limitations.
"For all the Zimbra customers out there, we wanted to let you know that the Briefcase application in Zimbra is here to stay. For the passionate Briefcase users, please let us know how we can improve it for the future. Please log requests in Bugzilla or post here."
I've been working with Zimbra since 2008 and ZCS 5 NE, especially, on Briefcase. The whole sales pitch of a drop-in replacement to MS Exchange must include the complete workflow and package that MS Server includes and provides end-users and that includes file/document management. The file server in MS Server is interoperable on all platforms. Unfortunately, MS Server gets cumbersome with various services not being unified and living independently of each other with myriad threads of connectivity between them.
A small digression: Current Briefcase has odd behavior on various platforms. For instance, using Firefox on Kubuntu/KDE 12.10 drag-and-drop is gone and when uploading causes the open file dialog to open. This is unnecessary since it is an upload and not a download.
With Briefcase, since the major portability and collaborative Zimbra experience in being a one-stop shop is over HTTP, WebDAV or some bridge protocol/connection like it must be used. While this is a very solid and standard way of managing file delivery that MS Server is conceptually based on, in Briefcase it is not stable over the three major platforms except for simple upload/download. Open>Edit>Save>, etc., type workflow is not consistent, and is complicated in versioning between on-the-fly editing and upload/download which are distinct functions.
Think of it this way. A worker is on the road using their laptop collaborating with others on the same document. One is in the office editing on-the-fly and the other on a place downloaded the same file to work on it locally on their laptop. In Briefcase, this ends up being a kludge while in MS Server it doesn't. The advantage of properly working document management is to lock the file once it is 'checked-out' by a worker so that others cannot edit it at the same time; one at a time. This is so another worker doesn't overwrite or cause out of chronology edits.
I'm not saying VMWare Zimbra is devoid knowledge and competency on this, they are pretty expert on working with me to try and solve the issue but it is not a priority at all, and for me, has not only hamstrung my office for the past five years but forced me to keep our MS Server still online and it has to be immediately taken offline as I don't want to put any more work hours or upgrade hardware into it.
This situation has also caused a huge loss of my credibility and respect from other workers in choosing Zimbra over something else and having to break a critical workflow. I can't say it with any more emergency or importance.
My big question has to be now is how does Zimbra manage its own document management and with what software? Other collaborative document management systems like Alfresco, Thinkfree and others, offer this kind of standard (as opposed to, robust) functionality so that office workflow doesn't get hamstrung after the migration to Zimbra from MS Server.
Actually, Thinkfree Office has the three basic productivity apps integrated that is pretty much a relplica of the same apps in MS Office. Plus, it will integrate into Zimbra but at a modest cost being much less than VMWare Horizon Suite.
What would have been a much easier solution is to adopt one of the third-party services and integrated into Zimbra. For me, Alfresco is more or less the best solution since they have an open-source version with tons of documentation, tutorials, videos and community support including regular gatherings to crowdsource improvements. Alfresco already has a Zimlet connector for Zimbra Mail but not for Briefcase.
Now. that is okay because with ample Zimbra codebase available to create tabs and components, Alfresco (or any others) could be seamlessly integrated eliminating Briefcase altogether.
I do not understand Zimbra's resistance to really bumping up the functionality of Briefcase so that it operates more or less the same way as an Alfresco or Thinkfree Office.

I surf the North Mexican coast and have been using H2odesy webbed gloves for the past 3 seasons and find that they only hold up for about 2 months before ripping apart. I keep gluing them together but they still only hold up for a short period of time. The 1.5mm body glove webbed surf gloves appear to be well made from what I can see in the picture but It is hard to tell. Will these gloves hold up longer than the h2odesy which I concider to be an inferior product??

I still remember where I was sitting in my truck waiting to get through road construction when I herd about 9/11 on the radio. Many of our lives took a different direction that day including my own.
i was 1600 miles away from home and couldnt get home fast enough. thanks to all of our millitary patriaots on here!
I was 19, and a sophomore in college. My cousin and I went teal hunting that evening, figuring it may be one of our last chances to hunt. We were pretty sure we would have to go to war soon. It was strange to hunt all evening, and never see a single plane fly over.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

|Jacoby's recovery surpassing expectations
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
The past year has been a trying time for Dale Jacoby and his family.
Jacoby was critically injured in a two-car collision a mile east and two miles south of Holyoke last March. The crash resulted in a severe traumatic brain injury for Jacoby from the lack of oxygen to the brain.
Following the crash, he spent eight days in the intensive care unit at North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley. From there he was transferred to long-term acute care at Kindred Hospital in Aurora for three weeks.
He returned to Holyoke for hospice care at home but was transferred back to Kindred Hospital after two months. Less than a month later he moved to Craig Rehabilitation Hospital in Englewood.
Enjoying some time away from daunting rehab exercises, Dale Jacoby,
—Enterprise photo
When admitted in Craig in late July, Jacoby was still unresponsive, unable to talk or walk.
"Greeley and Kindred both told me to just take him home and let him die," Dale's wife, Karen, explained. "He graduated from hospice and went to Craig. Miracles do happen."
Days have been filled with extensive rehabilitation exercises aimed at strengthening Jacoby's mind and body. The long healing process did not slow down once Jacoby returned home after two months at Craig.
He entered more rehab in Haxtun for three months, and for the past three months has continued to rehab at home with the help of his wife and stepdaughters, Nicole Barron and Heather Huffman.
At home he works on walking, using the stairs and riding an exercise bike, along with swallowing and speech. Progress is often slow and his left side is still pretty weak, but Jacoby is now able to talk, express himself and help with house chores.
Karen noted that his long-term memory is good but his short-term memory isn't as sharp.
"We have come a long way, and we still have a long way to go," Karen said. "You learn to appreciate what you have and to just take one day at a time, because you just never know."
Being home is a nice change of pace for Dale. Returning to regular daily routines in a familiar place with friendly faces has helped with the recovery.
On a daily basis, Dale has been able to see many of his 12 grandchildren, along with his 1-year-old great-grandson, born just prior to the accident. He still enjoys going down to KarDale's once a week and seeing everybody, visiting and having a meal with people he hasn't seen in a while.
With warmer weather right around the corner, the couple is looking forward to getting out and enjoying some of the activities they couldn't do during the winter months.
Dale received an adaptable fishing rod from Craig Hospital, and he is anxious to break it in. Karen also mentioned they may try some gardening and get together with family for a number of picnics.
Through all of the trials of the past year, Dale and Karen remain optimistic and appreciative of all the help they have received.
"My daughters Heather and Nicole have been our rock," Karen said. "They have helped us get through this."
Karen extended her gratitude to the Holyoke community.
"The community has been great with all the prayers they have given us," Karen said. "People come and talk to him and shake his hand; you can just see the support of the community. We couldn't make it without all you guys. I am very proud to say we're a part of this community."
Although Dale left Craig in September, he wasn't officially released until early March. Doctors told Karen that his progress has been tremendous.
"It's going to be a slow process," Karen said. "It's not something that's going to be overnight. With traumatic brain injuries, you are going to be healing for years.
"To me, he is an amazing man. He has fought hard, and without his determination, he wouldn't be where he is at. He is definitely a miracle."

Kaley Cuoco IS NOT PREGNANT!

It's official! Lady Gaga is officially going galactic! Last week I reported that there were talks that Lady Gaga would be the first artist to sing in outer space in early 2015. Well, now Lady Gaga is confirming it and explaining how she secured a ticket on Virgin Galactic to travel to space. Lady Gaga said, "I did not buy a ticket. No my ticket was given to me. I was asked specifically to sing. So I'm going to be the first recording artist to sing in space. And I did not purchase my flight. This is a special festival event held by Zero G Colony and I will be flying to space two months after the first commercial flights take off." Lady Gaga has to do a month of vocal training because of the atmosphere and just in case anything goes wrong she's taken out a ridiculous life insurance policy! Should be pretty cool!
Tatiana Neves Barbosa seems to be enjoying her newfound fame as the girl who filmed Justin Bieber sleeping in bed and now she's breaking her silence about that night! Tatiana hinted that it was definitely a night to remember. When she was asked if she kissed the Biebs, Tatiana said, "What do you think, if I was sleeping in the bedroom, just me and him?" She also admitted to sleeping in the same bed as Justin Bieber, but didn't get more specific than that. Tatiana did say that Justin Bieber called her, invited her, and asked if she wanted to go to his house for a party. There were apparently no other girls on the property. I'm sure Justin Bieber is regretting his decision to bring Tatiana into the house. She uploaded the video to YouTube last week and it already has over 34 million views!
Maybe Tom Cruise wasn't lying after all! Yesterday I reported that Tom Cruise compared his acting job to fighting a battle in Afghanistan and training harder than Olympic athletes. Well, TMZ is reporting that they have seen the VIDEOTAPE of Tom Cruise's deposition, and Tom Cruise sits almost motionless not saying a word as the lawyer asks Tom Cruise if he heard that people are saying he was away from his daughter Suri because his job is as hard as someone fighting in Afghanistan. Tom Cruise answers by saying, "I didn't hear the Afghanistan, but that's what it feels like, and certainly on this last movie, it was brutal." Then when the lawyer says "Do you believe being in a movie and fighting a war in Afghanistan are the same?," Tom Cruise says, "Oh come on." So it looks like Tom Cruise's words definitely were twisted and made a clear statement that he didn't view his acting like fighting in a war. You're safe, for now!

That rumor has been going on for weeks and now Katy Perry was spotted wearing a tiny diamond solitaire ring on her left hand Sunday night, leading many people to question if she is going to be walking down the aisle again for the second time. Though friends are denying the fact that Katy Perry is engaged, you can't help but wonder what that ring is on her hand. Katy Perry's first marriage to Russell Brand ended in December 2011 and she has been dating John Mayer for quite some time. John Mayer is reportedly worth 40 million dollars so the ring he would pop the question with would probably be a big time rock!
It's crazy how things work out. When Good Morning America correspondent Amy Robach participated in an on-air mammogram screening last month as part of the show's October Pink Initiative to help encourage viewers to get checked, she had no idea how important that scan would be. After the initial on-air mammogram, doctors followed up with additional tests and last week they made the shocking discovery that Amy Robach has breast cancer.
The news came as a shock to Amy Robach, who says she has no family history of the disease Amy Robach said that telling her children was the toughest part. Amy Robach doesn't know the stage of her cancer or if it has spread, but she's decided to have a bilateral mastectomy. She's grateful that she got the mammogram that day. That mammogram hopefully has saved her life!
Who knew that a bra could help support U.S. military families! You heard me right! Kim Kardashian and the rest of the Kardashian clan organized a charity yard sale yesterday for their reality show to raise money for two charities: the No Kid Hungry Foundation and the Greater L.A. Fisher House which provides housing for families of wounded warriors. The family raised about six thousand dollars by selling their old lingerie, clothing, artwork and household goods. On top of that, the Kardashians will match the money raised for a total of a twelve thousand dollar donation. The founder and executive director of Fisher House said that the Kardashians reached out and found THEM. In addition to the money raised, the Kardashians are also donating all the items that didn't sell yesterday to the Fisher House families. How cool of them!
The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco is setting the record straight! Fans have been speculating that the 27-year-old star might be pregnant with her fiancé, Ryan Sweeting's baby, which is why they rushed into an engagement after only three months of dating. Well, Kaley Cuoco took to Twitter to clear up the rumors, tweeting, "I would like to make something very clear to anyone who cares. I AM NOT FREAKIN PREGNANT. Do with that what you will." Kaley Cuoco's fans have been curious about her crazy romance with Ryan Sweeting, but Kaley Cuoco revealed that she knew he was the one after knowing him for only two days. For now, the couple is too busy to start wedding planning. So hopefully they will have a long engagement!," At least that's smart!

And the first thing I notice ... a pair of river's I forgot to fix! (Though to the fabled river police, I'm sure there are many many many more.)
Abebe is my world in progress.
I thought I'd create a thread about it specifically (though it has been featured in my other threads).
I'm experimenting with a google-map style method of sharing my work. Until this morning it's worked perfectly - but if it just gives you a grey screen, just refresh until it works. See if you can get a beat going, as it makes the activity more fun I think it may be a bandwidth issue -it lets one person at a time look at the maps on the site total- so usually won't be a problem.
Anyway, here is my current version of "Abebe".

Nice, though I guess it's mainly generated? The rivers look kinda binary in places, and of course using a fractal terrain generator gives you mountains placed smackdab, but good start, all in all.
It is generated, with a few adjustments...I doubt I'll be changing that at this point, though, as it fits with my world mythos.
...which I'll have to dig up and share...and welcome any logical/consistency/realm of possibility suggestions

Circumference – 42049.624km
• Mining Distribution (relative to Earth):
o Metal +120%
o Radioactive +217%
o Precious +164%
o Crystal +135%
o Gems +240%
• Populations have developed with high mutation resistance as a whole.
• Genetically, a recessive gene interacts with biological/chemical/genetic triggers causing evolutionary jumps
o 1/10000 have a potential interaction based on random population distribution
o Evolutionary jumps may be almost anything
o Evolutionary jumps can vanish in the next generation depending on parental genetics etc – in fact, they are likely to vanish due to the recessive nature of the gene
o This gene interacts, potentially, with every other gene in the body
o Differences are typically manifested from conception forward as opposed to some spontaneous change; exceptions to this are those changes that occur due to hormonal changes in the body (i.e., puberty, menopause)
• Mating of carriers, particularly those with related evolutionary changes, can produce offspring who demonstrate those evolutionary jumps in even more pronounced ways
• 0
o Lived in small groups dominated by the strongest, who took what they want, leaving less and less for those lower down the line; in one community one man challenged for dominance, but upon winning, didn't keep everything, but shared out equal amounts to all in the community, fighting off first one, then another challenger, though with more of the community supporting him one by one. The value of community, equality, etc became dominant.
o One wise woman, seeing the start of a new era, made a mark of the first day...and she and her descendents continued to make marks each day....
o Spread across the NE corner of main continent over next 4000 years
o Onset of new era with people living longer, working together, being safe
• 50-250
o Art began to develop around the calendar, long strips covering years and years, as weather, the phases of the moon(s?), sun, and close planets are added.
• 257
o Recognizes patterns of seasons over last 200 years
• 303
o First form of alphabet to record sounds created, up until now, symbols used for calendars, but not for recording spoken word, etc
• 4023 (recorded history)
o live in small communities of a few hundred each
o NE corner of main continent
o essentially an isolation
mountains to the east
have not made move to waterways or oceans for transportation or food
non-aggressive wildlife trapped with them at this stage
o total population is ~300 000
o till now, evolutionary jumps in population have either died in childbirth or gone unnoticed due to minimal nature
o nature of population as a whole is oriented toward community and mutual support, violence between communities is very rare – partly because of distances involved, and partly because of homogeneity of population
o economic focus
trade between nearby communities
o population well versed in basic breeding of animals and plants to develop certain genetic lines, though they don't understand the reason for it
o they also understand the need for healthy "breeding" in that if they mix different populations of animals (in the same "line") the offspring are usually healthier than their parent groups
they don't associate this fact consciously with people, though it does affect their society
o different communities gather for festivals
focussed on diversifying genetic stock and trade of specific lines of domesticated flora and fauna
also focussed on youth meeting new people from outside their communities to form family units, typically the male will move to the new community, though this is not always the case; it depends on the relationships formed and who is involved
• this is one way in which the communities sub-consciously maintain healthy genetic diversity within small relatively isolated communities
• Average lifespan at this time 45 years for women and 43 for men
• Community structure
o Government?
Not specifically elected, elders, who consult with members of the community, present their suggestions in community forums, and adult members of the community find concensus.
Those who cannot live with choices made (very rare) are free to leave the community if they choose, and are welcome back openly if they find they change their mind
Men and women, alike, are members of government
o Writing
A form of writing, based on 52 sounds of the common language, has been developed.
o Calendar
From simple marks on "calendar" rocks, to the presently complex system of understanding the constellations etc, the people have recorded their history for 4023 years at this stage
o Family unit?
Not just 1 man+1 woman (typically involve, though, 2-6 adults with some degree of shared physical or emotional intimacy)
Each woman who chooses to have children, will have between 4 and 8 children in a lifetime
Chance of mother dying during or after childbirth, 15%.
Chance of child dying during or immediately after childbirth, 25% (3 to 6 children / woman's life)
Of those children who survive childbirth, 85% survive the first year (2.6 to 5.1 children / woman's life)
Children who survive past their first year, have a 90% change of reaching adulthood (2.3 to 4.6 children/ woman's life)
Each woman, thus, produces 3.45 children who live through adulthood, on average, resulting in a slow but definite population increase.
Women are marriageable from the onset of their fertility cycle (16 +/- 2 yrs)
o Homosexuality
not common (5.8% of population)
not specifically taboo
accepted as physical intimacy for physical pleasure and for emotional bonding
Those individuals not wishing to have offspring are required, by the community, to contribute in some other way (?), but this is not seen as a hardship, merely a different way to contribute
o Physical deformities
Very rare (more common in the more remote communities)
Almost always die in childbirth or shortly after
Considered to be cursed (typically because they almost always die very young)
o Mental challenges
Very rare (more common in the more remote communities)
Treated with great care and affection
Ways they can contribute to community in a positive way are sought after
Not coddled, but protected, and treated with their mental challenge under consideration
Not viewed as cursed, but as special, able to understand, perhaps, parts of the world we cannot
Not seen as a burden on a community
o Economy
Markets based on barter economy
Trade between communities at regular seasonal gatherings
No formal currency
o Education / Religion
Belief in the power of the moons, the planets, the sun, and the stars
• More the belief that these extra-physical (to the population) objects affect the seasons etc. Than in some deity.
Belief in natures ability to change
• Seen in domesticated animals
o Knowledge used to help develop new strains/breeds
• Not seen yet in people (outside of what would be human norm for diversity in an isolated region)
• They speak of a mother planet giving birth and fruit to all life
• They view the moon as a sister planet
• They view the stars and their sun as male figures, sharing the seeds of life with the mother figures
• Nature is powerful
People are different/separate from animal life and flora
• They don't spontaneously change/show big differences in their offspring as animals do
• They can speak aloud and have language
• While consciously, they don't breed people for health etc, the society does this through their festivals and movement of individuals to new communities.
• Semi-formal education
o Toddlers
Spend most of time with family (at and around home, community)
o 3-6
Spend time with family
Spend time with elders
Spend time in social groups exploring inside community
Watched by community as a whole and kept safe near home
o 6-10
Spend time with family
Spend time with elders
Spend time working with different "experts" in community
• Develop basic range of skills and knowledge so that they may make a more effective choice about what they will "do"
• Both share and gather knowledge from those outside family unit
o 10-12
Some "bordering" is often arranged with related family units in other communities
Continuing 6-10 education which is more and more hands on and adult-like in nature
o 12+
Join adults in study and work in areas of speciality (if any)
Learning more, sharing history, knowledge, etc, is lifeline pursuit
o Social welfare
Barring the mentally infirm (rare), people are expected to pull their weight etc. And while life isn't easy, it's not challenged by strife or dangerous animals or the need to hunt. The cultivation of crops etc can feed the population, even in a poor harvest year
Those who elect not to work after childhood, don't eat.
o ~60 phonetic sounds used to express oral language
o ~12 inflections added to modify message (clarify punctuation)
Not (negation of statement)
o writing
initially a few hundred symbol for words and ideas, hieroglyphs
as the "calendar" method of research/experimentation/documentation became more recognized, one individual began to examine the sounds that made up their language and over his/her life identified 60 sounds, making spelling of words completely phonetic.
The next generation in that family continued the study, defining a further 60 symbols to represent the oral inflections, number system (base 12) and time
3 more generations tested and refined the system before the community brought it to the next community fairs to present and share
Over the next 400 years, the characters and symbols were adopted by every community, and remained the only non hieroglyphic writing amongst the people
• Pre 0
o Oral traditions roughly associated with time
o Basic farming and domestication of animals begun
o Pottery
• 0
o Beginning of recorded history/time – marks on rocks to mark the passing of years
o Basic understanding of seasons
• Wheel/axel
• Paper
• Saddle
• Glass
• 4023
o In one small community, a child is born who's skin glows slightly in the dark. There is a fight within the community, with some feeling she is the incarnation of the mother moon, and brings good fortune, while others decrying her mutation as a curse. A fight ensues, and the child is murdered, the community destroyed, with the few survivors (including her parents) fleeing.
o In another small community, quite distant, another child is born who's skin, at the onset of puberty, changes to a brilliant orange. As the community knows this child, he is not shunned, but a matter of curiosity, much as a mutation in some strain of plant or breed of animal may. This difference, doesn't stop this child from forming a relationship within his community (though he is shunned outside it), and his offspring do not show any sign of his change. This community, though, moves along a new path, but becomes more separated from the nearby communities based on beliefs....
o Three separate belief structures and societies begin to develop
Study of nature, science, etc, and belief that those people who mutate are merely different
• attempts to "breed" aren't too successful on the surface (but relationship is suspected)
• begin to view people as a mere extension of humans
Belief that mutations in people are a curse/disease/horrible, and that these children should be struck down at birth
• People, as they are "now" are perfect. They've never changed and never should.
• Belief that one male and one female god existed and that people are their offspring, from thousands of generations before.
• These gods are long gone, and it is our job to maintain their presence as it is seen today.
Belief that those who show noticeable mutations are to be worshiped and held above normal men (this includes both "positive" and "negative" mutations)
• Relationship of humans to nature not accepted – must be divinity, etc.
DAY's / year
• 12 months
• 43 days/month
• 6 weeks/month + 1 Month End day
• 7 days / week
• every 3 years, the end of their is a 2 day special celebration around at the beginning of a new "cycle" which realigns calendar with solar year
• cycles -> similar to chinese years (but every 3 years)
• each day is made up of 12 hours, with 12 minutes, 12 seconds, 12 .... Needing names though
Base 12 system
• 0 both hands together in fists
• 1 one closed fist held forward
• 2 one fist held 1 finger out
• 3

I hadn't really noticed it but now that you mention it perhaps they are bigger.....and what? You don't want to see a big ol' donkey every time I post? *lol* At least he's got a nice jacket so as to maintain his professional image
I usually have a hard time discerning what people's avatars actually are because they are so small. Some of them look like they are really cool but I can't be sure. If the size has changed by double it would be good to know so folks can make sure their avatar doesn't look like 8 bit graphics.

Hello. It would help if you could post links to some examples of what you're after, like an example of the style you hope to create. Are you just looking to make little graphics to represent towns on a regional map, or are you wanting to do an isometric expansion of a building, or perhaps some other thing?
Let me know and I'll see if I can help!

Homeworld and Homeworld 2 were sci-fi simulation/rts games that were released by Relic Entertainment several years ago. They were unusual in that they enabled you to control an entire fleet instead of just one fighter. Both games also partook of a rich backstory and had a very distinct visual style to them.
One cartographically gifted fan took that style and ran with it. He created a series of maps for the Homeworld Universe that are a joy to behold. Normally depicting something as large as a galaxy is quite difficult, but Mr. Ptak (or Norsehound as he's known) used a symbolic, colorful, abstract style to pull it off. Take a look at his Galaxy Map here (which he's still working on): http://home.comcast.net/~norsehound/GiantHWMapDemo7.jpg
Explanation of the various factions and nations on the map can be found at: http://hosting.reliccommunity.com/up...W-Map-Back.jpg
At a smaller scale, he's mapped out some of the more important star systems, one of which, Kharak, can be found at: http://hosting.reliccommunity.com/up...tem-Map-v1.jpg
He's also done blow ups of some of the regions in the universe, his take on the Garden of Kadesh (a large nebula) can be found at: http://hosting.reliccommunity.com/up...h-Map-WIP2.jpg
The Relic forum where Norsehound posts most of his creations (or links to them) can be found at: http://forums.relicnews.com/printthr...6&page=1&pp=15
Though most of the maps here on Cartographersguild are crafted more for the fantasy milieu, for those of you thinking of designing something for a sci-fi/space opera game, Mr. Ptak's maps are worth a look.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Brad Marchand's sixth-round shootout goal lifted
the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday at TD
Garden. After both teams scored on their first attempts in the shootout,
the next eight shooters came up empty before Marchand charged in and fired
a wrister that slipped through the five-hole of New Jersey goaltender Johan
Hedberg. Marek Zidlicky had a chance to send the shootout to a seventh
round, but Tuukka Rask, who finished with 25 stops, made a nice glove
save on the defenseman's wrister to secure Boston's third straight victory.
Nathan Horton scored the game-tying goal with just over four minutes left in
regulation for the Bruins, who have opened a season with points in their first
six games for the first time since 1970-71 when they started 5-0-1. David
Clarkson registered the lone New Jersey goal, while Hedberg, making his first
start of the season, turned away 27 shots for the Devils, who have recorded
a point in every game this season despite dropping their second straight
Final Score: Toronto 4, Buffalo 3 (OT)
Buffalo, NY (Sports Network) - Matt Frattin netted the game-winning goal with
1.5 seconds left in overtime to lift the Toronto Maple Leafs over the Buffalo
Sabres, 4-3, at First Niagara Center. Frattin also scored in regulation,
while Jay McClement and Cody Franson added goals for Toronto, which snapped
a two-game slide. James Reimer stopped 29 shots in the victory. Jason
Pominville, Andrej Sekera and Mikhail Grigorenko supplied the offense for
the Sabres, who have dropped four straight after winning their first two
games of the season. Ryan Miller allowed all four goals on 20 shots in defeat.
Final Score: NY Rangers 2, Philadelphia 1
New York, NY (Sports Network) - Ryan Callahan scored the goal that proved to
be the deciding tally in the New York Rangers' 2-1 victory over the
Philadelphia Flyers. Michael Del Zotto had the other goal for the Rangers, who
have won consecutive games since losing by the same score to the Flyers
last Thursday. New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves. Ilya Bryzgalov
played well in defeat for Philadelphia, stopping 26 shots. Offense continues
to be a problem area for the Flyers, who have scored more than two goals
in just one of their seven contests this season. Not surprisingly,
their record stands at 2-5-0. Kimmo Timonen supplied the lone tally Tuesday
night, and it came on a power play in the third period.
Final Score: Montreal 4, Winnipeg 3
Montreal, QC (Sports Network) - Tomas Plekanec scored the winning goal in the
third period as the Montreal Canadiens edged the Winnipeg Jets, 4-3, at Bell
Centre on Tuesday. Brendan Gallagher had a goal and an assist while Rene
Bourque and Erik Cole also scored for the Canadiens, who have won four
straight. Carey Price gave up three goals on 21 shots in the win. Olli
Jokinen had a goal and an assist while Blake Wheeler and Nik Antropov also
lit the lamp for the Jets, who had a three-game winning streak stopped.
Ondrej Pavelec gave up all four goals on 26 shots in the loss.
Final Score: Ottawa 3, Washington 2
Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - Sergei Gonchar scored the winner on the power
play with 2:30 left in the game as the Ottawa Senators rallied for a 3-2 win
over the Washington Capitals. Milan Michalek and Jim O'Brien each scored a
goal for the Senators, who snapped a two-game slide. Craig Anderson made 31
saves in the win. Troy Brouwer and Matt Hendricks each scored for the
Capitals, who were coming off their only win of the season on Sunday
against Buffalo. Michal Neuvirth made 24 stops in the loss.
Final Score: NY Islanders 4, Pittsburgh 1
Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Evgeni Nabokov turned away all but one of
the 38 shots he faced on Tuesday, as the New York Islanders earned a rare win
at Consol Energy Center with a 4-1 triumph over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Matt
Moulson registered a goal and an assist, while Casey Cizikas, Michael Grabner
and John Tavares each scored once for the Islanders, who have won two straight
in Pittsburgh after dropping their previous 13 trips to Western Pennsylvania.
Pascal Dupuis scored the lone Pittsburgh goal, while Marc-Andre Fleury was
charged with all four goals on 17 shots before being pulled in favor of Tomas
Vokoun to start the third. Vokoun stopped all seven shots he faced in
relief, but the offense failed to pick up the slack, as the Penguins lost for
the third time in their last four games.
Final Score: Tampa Bay 5, Florida 2
Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - Vincent Lecavalier was one of four Tampa Bay
players with a goal and an assist as the Lightning downed the Florida
Panthers, 5-2, at Tampa Bay Times Forum. Cory Conacher, Tom Pyatt and Dana
Tyrell also recorded two points, while Steven Stamkos added a goal in
Tampa Bay's fourth straight win. Anders Lindback made 26 saves in the
victory. Peter Mueller and Tomas Fleischmann scored for the Panthers, who
have dropped five consecutive games after a season-opening win over Carolina.
Jose Theodore allowed all five goals on 33 shots in defeat.
Final Score: Detroit 4, Dallas 1
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Valtteri Filppula had two goals, Jimmy Howard
stopped 25 shots and the Detroit Red Wings beat the sputtering Dallas Stars,
4-1, at Joe Louis Arena. Henrik Zetterberg had a rare power-play marker
and an assist for the Red Wings, who scored four unanswered goals after
Dallas' Loui Eriksson opened the scoring midway through the second period.
Kari Lehtonen made 21 saves, some of them dazzling, in defeat. The Stars have
dropped four in a row since beating the Red Wings at the same venue last
Final Score: Minnesota 3, Columbus 2
St. Paul, MN (Sports Network) - Pierre-Marc Bouchard netted the game-winning
goal late in the third period to lift the Minnesota Wild over the Columbus
Blue Jackets, 3-2, at Xcel Energy Center. Mikko Koivu added a goal and an
assist, while Tom Gilbert also lit the lamp for the Wild, who snapped a three-
game slide. Niklas Backstrom made 17 saves in the victory. Mark Letestu and
Jack Johnson supplied the offense for Columbus, which lost for the fifth time
in six games. Steve Mason stopped 23 shots in defeat.

Congratulations to Krystal Jackson of Asheville's High Five Coffee Bar. Krystal was the overall top finisher in last night's Cup Tasters Challenge event. Participants at each Training Center tasted four sets of three cups each and tried to identify which was different from the other two in each set. Krystal identified all four flights correctly in 52.5 seconds!
The Cup Tasters Challenge title belt will be heading to Asheville because the top 5 participants there got the most right of any of our Training Centers. Way to go, Asheville.
Thanks to everyone who competed and special thanks for gracious help from prize sponsors Baratza grinders and Espresso Supply!
Hope you can make it to the next one,

Current AnnouncementsFROM: Dr. Joel Press RE: Enroll for Spring 2014 PHI490 – Scientific Explanation and Reduction
Sent: 10/9/2013 12:04:48 PM
To: Students, Faculty, Staff
Enroll for Spring 2014
PHI490 – Scientific Explanation and Reduction
What is the course about?
We often say that science explains natural phenomena. Gravity explains the motions of the planets around the sun. Atomic structure explains the properties of chemical compounds. Presence of harmful bacteria in the body explains disease. Natural selection explains the diversity, adaptation, and geographic distribution of life. A child's traumatic experience with a snake explains her ophidiophobia. (Yes, I did have to look that one up.) Cold fronts explain rain. The movement of tectonic plates explains the distribution of earthquakes.
But what exactly is a scientific explanation? Do all scientific explanations explain in the same way? Do all explanations invoke laws of nature, or causes, or describe mechanisms? What makes a scientific explanation scientific?
We also sometimes say that the phenomena studied by one science have been explained by the phenomena of another science, and that the former have been reduced to the latter. Chemical facts have been reduced to physical facts. Biological facts have been reduced to biochemical facts. Psychological facts have been reduced to physiological facts about the brain.
Or have they? Are all such explanations reductive? Are any of them? What makes an explanation reductive or non-reductive?
What will students do?
Students enrolled in this course will study several of the most significant philosophical attempts to answer these questions as a group before embarking on their own guided project of philosophical research. Students will be expected, with guidance from the instructor, to produce a philosophical essay worthy of publication in a peer-reviewed undergraduate philosophy journal and/or presentation at an undergraduate philosophy conference. (Actual submission to journals and/or conferences will be encouraged, but not required.)
Who should enroll?
Students from any background or program are invited, and no prior knowledge of either science or philosophy will be assumed. However, students with experience in philosophy, a science (social or natural), or both, should find the course of particular interest. The only firm requirements are a willingness to read, to think critically, and to write, about what the student thinks, about what was read.
Please direct any questions to Dr. Joel Press, email@example.com.

Attitude, not Talent, Problem with Mountaineers
January 25, 2013
MORGANTOWN – When you look at some of the numbers West Virginia has posted this season, they're a lot closer to the bottom of the NCAA charts than the to....
Just appears to me that the problems started with the changes in The Ath. Dept. School loyalty to coaches and teams faded. Everything is on a $$$$ basis. It's not working.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WUSA9) -- Future astronauts are getting a huge advantage when they choose University of Maryland to do their studies. The training they get is unlike any other university in the world.
It's a dream aspiring astronauts spend years chasing: got to work and be nearly weightless.
Step one, or maybe flipper one, starts at the neutral buoyancy tank at the University of Maryland. It's the only college campus in the world where research like this can take place. If working for NASA is your goal, then getting here should be, too.
PH.d. candidate Kate McBryan from Arizona told us, "This place has a neutral buoyancy tank and does space systems and it's one of the only places that has one of those things so I came across the country."
With the help of student volunteers, researchers build and test tools that will be used in outerspace. The tank is 25 feet deep and can simulate what it's like to maneuver a huge piece of equipment in near zero gravity.
Chris Carlsen, a student volunteer, told us, "We'll add weights, we'll take away weights. There are six different dimensions. You have to make sure it's weighted correctly in order for it to operate as if it's in space."
Dave Akin, the Director of the Space Systems Lab, added, "You have to adjust the buoyancy and the ballast so it doesn't quite float and it doesn't quite sink, and that's why we call this neutral buoyancy."
The orbs have onboard cameras. In outerspace, they can fly around the International Space Station to inspect it. That's why students like Chris Carlsen volunteer for this work. His passion is robotics.
"You'd send a robot on Mars, would leave a person on Mars, and it has to work all the time which is challenging but incredibly neat!" said Carlsen.
You have to be scuba certified to help with the lab.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Liam Neeson's "Taken 2" has defended its box-office title with a narrow win over Ben Affleck's "Argo."
Yesterday's studio estimates put 20th Century Fox's action sequel "Taken 2" at No. 1 with $22.5 million in its second weekend. "Taken 2" raised its domestic total to $86.8 million.
Affleck's "Argo," an Iranian hostage thriller from Warner Bros., opened in second-place with $20.1 million.
Ethan Hawke's "Sinister," about a true-crime writer caught up in supernatural horror, debuted at No. 3 with $18.3 million. The movie was released by Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment banner.
Sony's "Here Comes the Boom," with Kevin James as a teacher who becomes a mixed martial arts sensation, started weakly at No. 5 with $12 million.
The weekend's other new wide release, CBS Films' crime comedy "Seven Psychopaths," also opened to small crowds, taking in $4.3 million to finish at No. 9. The movie's ensemble cast includes Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken and Woody Harrelson.
The follow-up to "Taken," the hit that established dramatic star Neeson as an action hero, "Taken 2" was dinged by critics who called it a replay of the original. The sequel has Neeson's ex-CIA guy up against a gang of Albanian goons out for revenge for their kin that he killed in the first movie.
"Argo" may prove the opposite, using its great reviews and Academy Awards buzz to settle in for a long stay at the box office. Affleck directed and starred in the real-life story about a CIA operative who concocts a plan to rescue six Americans hiding in Tehran after the 1979 U.S. embassy takeover by disguising them as members of a fake movie crew.
1. "Taken 2," $22.5 million ($41 million international).
2. "Argo," $20.1 million.
3. "Sinister," $18.3 million ($4 million international).
4. "Hotel Transylvania," $17.3 million ($13.7 million international).
5. "Here Comes the Boom," $12 million.
6. "Pitch Perfect," $9.3 million.
7. "Frankenweenie," $7 million ($4.9 million international).
8. "Looper," $6.3 million ($7.5 million international).
9. "Seven Psychopaths," $4.3 million.
10. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," $2.2 million.

With the economy struggling to find firm ground, abstinence from all things capitalistic has been the motto of the year. Brands poised between recession and the green shoots of recovery forced their agencies to deliver think out of the box. While many ads ended up trying too hard, the gems this year have been good enough to share on Facebook walls and Twitter feeds, causing them to go viral. Josy Paul, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of advertising agency BBDO, says, The difference in advertising this year has been social media. There are now conversations happening with brands directly and the ads have helped this happen. This will continue to be important in the next year.
Old Spice Wyde+ Kennedy
The idea to relaunch Old Spice was to tap into two generations people who used Old Spice in the 80s and those who were kids at the time and watched their elders use it. Using Indias first male supermodel Milind Somans mature and Mantastic looks, this campaign managed instant virality. When the shirtless Soman hardsells masculinity in a
bottle of Old Spice, a lot of viewers, especially of the female persuasion, were impressed. V Sunil, Executive Creative Director of Wyde+ Kennedy, says, I wanted to have Milind Soman even before we had fully formed the idea for the TVC. When you think about it there are no real good-looking men, most of them are chocolate boys.
Google Reunion Ogilvy & Mather
All the ad men we spoke to mentioned the Google Reunion campaign as one of the most powerful ones of 2013. In the ad, two old friends, separated by Partition, meet again, powered by Google. The scriptwriter for the ad, Sukesh Kumar Nayak of Ogilvy & Mather, says, People reach out for Google when they want to find out something they dont know. We wanted to dig deeper, and make the connection between real life and Google magical. This magic has given the ad more than 10 million views on YouTube.
GE Cancer Diagnostic Scanner BBDO
This has been a year of socially aware advertising, says Josy Paul. GEs branding stresses on adding a human connect with machines, and their ad for the Diagnostic Scanner stretches this concept further. If cancer does not discriminate and affects everyone rich or poor, young or old GEs unprejudiced technology paves the road

Model A's Cruise For Ice Cream
(LE MARS)--Le Mars was the destination today (Friday) for vintage wheels.
Joe Lamb of the Central Iowa Model A Ford Club said the group makes four-day, 400 mile trips known as the "Great Annual Model A Ride Around Iowa." They've traveled for 15 years and this year's trip was to northwest Iowa with stops in Ida Grove, Le Mars and Sioux City.
Listen here
Lamb expected 40 Model A Fords to be driven on county roads at speeds of 45 miles an hour for the visit to Le Mars.

THANK YOU, Everybody, for taking the time to look through my portfolio and support older work. Society6 can be sometimes be frustrating ... the good work you've done last week/month/year often appears to be ignored in favor of what you've done most recently. For me, Art is about context. I really appreciate that you might feel the same way, and for commenting on my work so potentially others will notice the slightly older pieces too. Thanks again!
Very cool.
great one!
Wow... unique perspective!
Thank you so very much for the kindness!

"The National Football Post reported that the league has talked about widening the field sideline-to-sideline from 160 feet to 195 feet, which is the CFL standard, and the league might look into the idea again this offseason.
The National Football Post said the competition committee discussed the idea a year ago. In theory, a wider field would be safer for a league that has much bigger and faster players than it did decades ago."
The reason given is that the change improves player safety, but the end result is probably a more open passing game favoring big fast outside receivers going deep and wide. That kind of game is what Pats are ill staffed for presently, both with WR and CB.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Uncaged Edition Review by Shummyr:
Name of Game: X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Uncaged Edition
Publisher: Activision
Release Date: 5-1-2009
Genre: Action and Adventure
Player: 1
Buy/Don't: No (But makes a good weekend rental)
Overall Rating: 5.0 out of 10.00
Platforms: XBox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP and PC
This is a simple hack-and-slash game... it will take about 20 hours to complete. The camera is fluid but can be a tad bit jerky at times, other than that it's good.
The story is somewhat shallow and the flashbacks are frequent. The controls, however, are very well placed and easy to remember.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Uncaged Edition) presents an excellent amount of challenges, and the achievements are strategically placed so that unlocking them coincides with relevant parts of the storyline.
It's also very neat how you can unlock old costumes and play with the classic costumes.
This game reminds me a lot of Wolverine's Revenge.. very similar if not a remake, with updated graphics and a new storyline.
The reason I would not buy this game instead of renting it is because I'm not a big fan of hack-and-slash genre (it's boring) and there is basically no replay value. You play through it once, and you have completed the game.
Note: This review was based on the XBox 360 version.
Shummyr (Desert Rat Game Review)
- Fun - It's a good rental
- Good achievements
- Nice, beautiful and gory cutscenes
- Short and NO replay value
- Boring flashbacks
Graphics - 10
Sound - 10
Gameplay - 3.0
Fun Factor - 1.0
Online - 0
Overall - 5.0 (out of 10/not an average)
