SIKESTON -- With local gas prices hovering around $2.40 per gallon, more motorists are expected to travel Missouri highways this Labor Day holiday weekend than last year.
About 6.5 million Midwesterners of the total 35.2 million are expected to travel 50 miles or more from home this weekend, AAA reports. Towns/rural areas top AAA's list of preferred destinations this holiday with 28 percent. Last year 34.8 million Americans traveled during the holiday weekend.
"Labor Day is, traditionally, one of the biggest weekends because it's usually the last warm weather for the holiday period," said Lt. Jim McNiell, commanding officer of Troop E satellite in Sikeston. "People like to take a few days off and go to the lake -- you see more boats on road and campers."
The Patrol will heavily enforce the "Slow Down, Move Over" law this weekend, McNiell said.
"We're still having still having a few problems with that," McNiell said, adding a lot of construction zone enforcement has been carried out along Interstate 55.
The Patrol will be out in full force this weekend, McNiell said. Motorists should pay heed to signs in construction zones, slow down and obey the speed limit, he said. When slowing down, if the other lane is available, please merge over into other lane, he said.
Through Troop E's efforts in Southeast Missouri, a problem was identified in construction zones, where people aren't obeying the law, McNiell said.
For example, the Patrol has spent 173 hours of overtime enforcement in construction zones from spring until Labor Day weekend. So far there have been 245 arrests and 317 warnings in these construction zones. Of those 109 speeding violations, seven were careless and imprudent driving, four were driving while intoxicated; and 30 were seat belt and child restraint arrests.
"There's a $250 fine increase just for speeding in that construction with workers present," McNiell said. "I think we all have something better do with $250 with gas and everything else so expensive. And if you figure in court costs, that's a 350-$400 ticket."
McNiell said construction zones are marked as such while workers are present. He doesn't anticipate any construction work going on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, but he does Friday, McNiell said.
"We're still working accidents where people are not wearing seat belts," McNiell said. "Seatbelts work and they save lives."
McNiell said he sees a lot of accidents involving fatigued drivers.
"I've seen a lot of late night accidents on Friday nights where people have been traveling too long, and they're just tired," McNiell said.
Motorists should be well-rested and take periodic breaks to stretch their legs and get some fresh air, McNiell said. Inattention also causes quite a few accidents, McNiell said, adding much of driving safely involves common sense and courtesy.
"Our hope for everybody is to have a good holiday weekend and just drive safely," McNiell said.
Capt. John Martin of Sikeston Department of Public Safety said typically Labor Day weekend doesn't cause major problems in Sikeston -- just an increase in traffic flow.
"Right now it's just business as usual," Martin said. "We're not planning on any special details or events. The major event in town this weekend will be the Return to Sunset. Extra personnel will be on duty to assist if any traffic directing is needed."
The Labor Day counting period will begin at 6 p.m. Friday and end at 11:59 p.m. Monday. The Patrol, along with local law enforcement, will participate in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort), which will coincide with the "You Drink, You Drive, You Lose" campaign.
Last year, 11 people were killed and 483 were injured in 1,029 traffic crashes occurring during the Labor Day holiday counting period. That is one person killed or injured every 9.5 minutes. Over the past five years, 64 people were killed and 2,913 were injured in Labor Day holiday crashes.
Fatality totals in 2006 are at a 16 percent decrease when compared the to the same time period in 2005, according to Col. Roger D. Stottlemyre, superintendent of the Patrol. Stottlemyre attributed the decrease to increased education and enforcement efforts by officers.
The peak travel days for the weekend will be Friday and Monday, McNiell said. "The simple solution is to pay attention to the signs and obey the law," McNiell said.

The new Städel
"Garden halls" and a green hillock
The renowned museum of painting on Frankfurt's Museum South Bank is opening its new extension – and in so doing doubling available exhibition space
Frankfurt's citizens truly took their new Städel by storm. During the last weekend in February 2012 there were long queues of people waiting to view the underground extension to the museum and the exhibition on "Contemporary Art – from 1945 to the Present". In recent years generous bestowals, donations and a consistent acquisitions policy caused the Städel's collection to swell considerably making it necessary to expand the premises. The new exhibition showcases 330 works – but the real star of the weekend was the new exhibition hall itself.
Frankfurter architects Till Schneider and Michael Schumacher, who both studied at the Städel Academy, created the design for the "garden halls". The new exhibition hall is flooded with light – and is located beneath the Städel's garden. A total of 195 circular skylights with diameters of between 1.5m and 2.5m bring daylight into the exhibition hall, which is up to 8m high. From the outside, the extension resembles a green hillock with portholes. On the inside, 12 columns support the stable ceiling and provide for versatility in exhibition configurations. Thanks to the new extension, the Städel has almost doubled its total exhibition space to around 6,000 square meters. The new extension cost EUR 34 million, which was raised from public sources as well as from donations by various companies, foundations, and private individuals – reason enough for weekend festivities with entrance free of charge.
The Städel on Frankfurt's Museum South Bank is one of Germany's leading art museums. It was established as a private foundation almost 200 years ago by Frankfurt banker and patron Johann Friedrich Städel. Today, the museum's collection comprises about 3,000 paintings, 600 sculptures, 500 photographs and over 100,000 drawings and prints. In this way, it brings together under a single roof 700 years of European art history: from the early 14th century through the Renaissance, Baroque, 19th century and classical Modernism to the present. Highlights of the collection are works by Lucas Cranach, Albrecht Dürer, Sandro Botticelli, Rembrandt and Jan Vermeer, by Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Beckmann and Alberto Giacometti as well as Francis Bacon, Gerhard Richter, Wolfgang Tillmans and Isa Genzken.

Interested in Oregon Trail History? This will be very cool for you, if so. One VERY COOL thing about this walk is that you can see the ACTUAL WAGON RUTS of the Oregon Trail. There are restrooms there, and small shade trees in summer.
From I84, find Hwy 21 North (I am told the exit is named "Gowen"]. This is quite close to the main 84 artery, and could be a great rest stop for passers-through!
Once you are on Hwy 21 heading North-ish, you will want to look for "LAKE FOREST DRIVE" (about 2-3 miles from freeway)
If you get to the Boise RIVER, you have gone too far.
Take a LEFT onto Lake Forest Drive... it will bring you into a subdivision, have faith that this will be pretty cool though.
After NO MORE THAN three-quarters of a mile, (address is 5000 E. Lake Forest Dr.) find parking area for the "Oregon Trail State Historic Preserve" on your right.
Read the signs there at the trailhead to get yourself to the "Kelton Ramp Overlook", which will be roughly NE. (Keep alert for the wagon ruts between the maintained trails)
Now you are at the Kelton Ramp Overlook. Read all about it! Very cool (and try to ignore all the "development" below).
Imagine what it must have been like with a huge prarie schooner heading down that ramp! Crazy!
Looking DOWN THE RAMP to the west, you will see a sign that says "Foot traffic only".
37 steps West down ramp from this sign. On your left.
1. PLEASE rehide well. It took some doing to hide this properly.
2. RATTLE-SNAKE Territory! BE CAREFUL in the hot season. Wear gloves or use a stick first.
3. This hike is MAYBE a mile round trip.
From here, you might want to check out "Wagons' West". If you're good with details you COULD walk there from here. You could also drive a little further west and park at the next trailhead lot.
Have fun and tell us how you do!

Brandon Rios arrived yesterday in Macau, site of his Nov. 23 welterweight showdown with Manny Pacquiao on HBO Pay Per View, with trainer Robert Garcia at his side.
"I'm in China baby. I worked hard in camp, have a great team. Robert Garcia will be in my corner on the night of my fight. I'm totally prepared and I will win," said Rios, 27, who will begin training immediately at the Venetian Macau's gym.
"I also know China fans will be rooting for me. They told me that the last time I was here for our media tour when Pacquiao and I raced up the stairs of the Great Wall. I beat him then, and I will beat him on Nov. 23. It's great to be back here. I am ready to retire Manny Pacquiao. Victory will be mine."
Former junior middleweight titleholder Cornelius Bundrage could face once-beaten Joey Hernandez in an IBF eliminator for the right to face titleholder Carlos Molina, a bout that is likely to happen in January or February, according to Golden Boy matchmaker Eric Gomez.
IBF president Daryl Peoples confirmed that Golden Boy won Tuesday's purse bid with $11,000 for the right to promote Bundrage-Hernandez. In his last bout in February, Bunderage was dethroned as IBF beltholder by Ishe Smith, who, in turn, lost to Molina by split decision in September.
Publicist Kelly Swanson is known for handling the media for fighters such as Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Bernard Hopkins. But on Saturday starting at 6 p.m. at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn, under the nickname, "The Communicator," it will be Swanson herself who will enter the boxing ring, with Hopkins working her corner.
Swanson will go three rounds, against an opponent to be determined, to raise money for Gleason's Give A Kid A Dream Foundation, "a great program that gives at-risk youth the opportunity to attend Gleason's boxing program, work with a professional trainer, learn fitness and nutrition and possibly become a world-class fighter one day," said Swanson. "I have been fortunate to see the benefits of this program during my workouts at Gleason's and I am even more motivated to raise money for the cause.
"With just days left until I enter the squared circle, I am working harder than ever to get ready for my Fighters 4 Life Showcase charity fight at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn this Saturday on Nov. 16," said Swanson, who is attempting to raise $7,500 for the program.
"So for every interview I have helped make happen, any assistance I have been able to provide you or just in recognition of our friendship and good work together, I ask for your help. It would mean the world to me…To help me spread the word and follow the conversation use #KellysFight."

Macklin was originally slated to face injured Willie Nelson on a card that will also boast a junior middleweight bout between left-hander James Kirkland and unbeaten Glen Tapia, Philadelphia-born super middleweight prospect Jesse Hart and Russian light heavyweight Olympic gold medalist Egor Mekhontsev in his pro debut.

When Your Child Has Vertigo
Your child is standing still, but feels like he or she is moving or spinning. This feeling is known as vertigo. Vertigo can be uncomfortable. But it's usually not a sign of a major health problem. Vertigo can be treated so your child feels better.
Understanding the balance system
The inner ear plays a key role in helping the body keep its balance. To do this, the inner ear senses head and body position, and motion. It also works with other parts of the body, such as the eyes. The body relies on the inner ear for balance signals. Signals sent to the brain from the inner ear, eyes, and other areas help the body stay balanced.
What causes vertigo?
The exact cause of vertigo is not always known. But if your child has an inner ear problem, the brain may be getting the wrong signals. This can lead to vertigo. The following are the most common causes of inner ear problems in children:
Things that cause congestion (such as colds, allergies, or sinus infection). This leads to fluid backup through the Eustachian tube, which links the ear to the sinuses.
Labyrinthitis, a condition caused by a viral infection of the labyrinth (a part of the inner ear).
How is vertigo diagnosed?
The health care provider will ask about your child's overall health and symptoms. This is the main way that vertigo is diagnosed. Your child will also be examined, especially his or her head and ears. There isn't a specific test to diagnose vertigo. In some cases, tests may be done to rule out other health problems.
How is vertigo treated?
If vertigo is caused by an inner ear problem, the health care provider may prescribe medications. They can help your child's balance system get back to normal. The most common medications are:
Antihistamines to treat inner ear problems
Motion sickness medications (if needed)
Keep your child from activities that require balance or coordination until vertigo is gone. This includes skateboarding, riding a bike or scooter, rollerskating, or driving.
Call your child's health care provider right away if you notice any of the following:
Repeated or prolonged episodes of vertigo
Severe vertigo (child is unable to move)
Vertigo along with another problem, such as ear ringing, ear pain, headache, ear stuffiness, or hearing loss
Fever more than 100 degrees
Your child appears confused or is not acting him- or herself

Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful and delicate phase of a woman's life. Healthy eating and healthy living become even more important and essential for a pregnant woman as she not only has to look after her own health but also the health and safety of her developing fetus. Given below are thus certain food items which should be avoided during pregnancy so as to have a safe and healthy delivery.
For a healthy pregnancy, you need to consume a healthy and well balanced diet which provides all the essential nutrients to your body. Ensure that you eat food items from all the food groups so as to fulfill growing nutrient demand of the body during pregnancy. However, along with paying attention to what to eat, you should also be aware of the food items you need to avoid.
During pregnancy, you strictly need to avoid raw seafood such as oysters. Similarly, avoid raw meat, fish with mercury and fish exposed to industrial pollutants. You might argue that fish is a good source of protein. While this is true, there are also certain fishes which are unsafe for pregnant women due to unsafe levels of naturally occurring mercury.
Moreover, processed or canned fish also needs to be avoided as they are preserved in salt solution which in turn may lead to water retention. You need to pay special attention while cooking fats and oils. This is because saturated and Tran's fats are best avoided. Liver and liver products should also be avoided as they contain excess amounts of retinol which may prove bad for your developing fetus or child. andAlcohol intake smoking are best avoided during any stage of life. However, ban them at least during your pregnancy period.
Follow the given tips and avoid the above mentioned food items for a safe and healthy pregnancy.

Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev is the largest shareholder in the Bank of Cyprus, with a 9.9% stake in the company. He may have slept better this weekend when European officials announced that Cypriot banks would get a much-needed bailout, but on the condition that they accept a one-time tax on all deposits. A lot of those deposits are held by Russian citizens, or Russians who've become Cypriot citizens. But of course, very few of them are as fabulously wealthy with as much at stake as Rybolovlev, who caught Wall Street's attention last year when he bought ex-Citi CEO Sandy Weill's $88

The economy is looking better. The recession may be ending. But it's still too early to start celebrating.
That was the message from former U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow to a group of 1,500 Coloradans gathered Tuesday for the Aurora Economic Development Council's annual "A-List" luncheon. The event was presented by Accelerate Colorado, an affiliate of the Aurora EDC that lobbies on behalf of Colorado's business community.
"Are we coming out of this? I think we're beginning to," said Snow, who served in the cabinet of President George W. Bush from 2003 to 2006 and who now chairs New York-based Cerberus Capital Management.
In a speech delivered without notes to an attentive crowd, Snow said the nation may experience a short-term economic surge in coming months then dip back into a recession. This pattern — known as the "W" effect because the economy goes down then up then down again — is similar to what happened under President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression and again in the 1980s after the collapse of the savings and loan industry.
"We're clearly not out of the woods yet," he said.
Snow also warned the Who's-Who list of Colorado business and political leaders who were in attendance that America could be harmed by deflation, one possible consequence of a lengthy ongoing recession. As people make less money and work to save every dollar, they cut down on spending, and retailers cut prices to lure them back into the stores.
Economists disagree on whether deflation will be the next major problem facing America. Everyone, however, seems to agree that massive federal spending of borrowed currency is going to have a drastic effect on the nation's recovery.
Snow, who said he understands why the Obama administration saw the need to use federal funding to boost spending through the National Recovery and Reinvestment Act, said he also understands that the government is toeing a thin line by using so much borrowed currency to fund it.
"Government support, I think, has to continue. It's essential," Snow said. "But at some point we'll need to begin to disengage from all the government support, government ownership, government control, and the huge deficits that lead to rising interest rates."
The luncheon wasn't only about Snow's visit to Denver though.
Before Snow's keynote address, Gov. Bill Ritter and Wendy Mitchell, president and CEO of the Aurora Economic Development Council, presented leadership awards to Democratic U.S. Sens. Mark Udall, D-Eldorado Springs, and Michael Bennet, D-Denver, and U.S. Reps. Diana DeGette, of the 1st Congressional District, Betsy Markey, of the 4th Congressional District; Ed Perlmutter, of the 7th Congressional District; and to Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn, of the 5th Congressional District. The other members of Colorado's congressional delegation were also honored in the joint award, although Reps. Jared Polis, John Salazar and Mike Coffman did not attend the event.
The leadership awards were given to members of the entire Colorado delegation for their work in Washington, D.C., to help promote the state in its drive toward a new energy economy. "We really do find ourselves at the cutting edge of all of the new renewable energy technologies," Udall said. "Whether it's solar, the sequestration of carbon, or the role natural gas plays in becoming a bridge fuel and helping us respond to climate change and global security… renewable energy will be a big part of the future of our state."
DeGette, the longest serving congressional member in Colorado, said she believes that although the state's delegation is small, its members accomplishes a lot in Washington, and she singled out Lamborn as a good colleague to have in the House.
Lamborn returned the bipartisan compliment to DeGette.
The Colorado Statesman
"We do work together well as a delegation. We have the same goals, despite our party differences, of a stronger more prosperous economy in Colorado," he said.
Lamborn, the only Republican in a room full of Democrats, made it a point to express his discontent with the current health care reform moving through Congress.
"On health care, I would rather have a more targeted approach to getting health care to all Americans," Lamborn said. "But we do share the same goal and the same needs."
Markey, a small business owner, spent most of her speech talking about running a business. After explaining how her political insights were informed by those challenges, she told stories of her children working behind the counter at her coffee shop in Fort Collins and spoke of the pride she takes in the software development company she and her husband founded two decades ago.
"It's easy to vilify businesses today, but it's not right," Markey said. "They are members of our community."
The Aurora Economic Development Council is a partnership between business and government, creating new jobs through strategic alliances and by advocating for economically sustainable public policy. The Council is comprised of the leading 100 companies in the metro area.
Accelerate Colorado, the presenting sponsor of the event, was launched by the Council earlier this year to increase Colorado's presence at the federal level. In April, the group traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with Colorado's congressional delegation about statewide issues. They also had meetings with key federal leaders, including Brig. General Mark Schissler, director for cyber operations for the U.S. Air Force who told them that Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs is one of six finalists for the location of the 24th Air Force.
More than 150 tables at the event were sold for $2,000 each. Platinum sponsors of the event were Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck LLP, Citywide Banks, Comcast, Colorado Lending Source, Merrick & Co., Oakwood Homes and Victory Lane.

So I had the amazing opportunity to go to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL for Food Blog Forum Orlando. I felt so lucky to be one of the food bloggers to attend. It was truly a Magical Experience. I can't even put into words how much I appreciate all of the hard work that everyone put into this event. It was a really special event.
I learned so much from so many talented people. Everyone was so willing to help others and I loved seeing that. A special thanks to Disney World, Whole Foods, Julie of The Little Kitchen (who did such a wonderful job organizing!), Steamy Kitchen (Jaden & Scott), White On Rice Couple (Diane & Todd) and to all of the sponsors (OXO, KitchenAid, Le Creuset, Land 'O Lakes, Bob's Red Mill, Spice Islands, Goo Goo Clusters, King Arthur Flour, Scharffen Berger, and anyone else I forgot). The Door Prizes were totally crazy and everyone was so generous! I mean seriously, TWO APPLIANCES as well as countless KitchenAid Mixers, LeCreuset Dutch Ovens, and many other prizes. But they weren't even the highlight of the weekend. All of the information that we all went home with was the main prize. And that's a fact.
The accommodations were spectacular, the 4 day park hoppers were generous, the food was delectable and the people there were just plain remarkable. I could go on and on about this past weekend and ramble on for hours, but I'd rather show you how magnificent it was in pictures. Because I had so much fun trying to capture these wonderful moments on camera ~ even if it was an iPhone camera!

As the grainy YouTube video opens, Laura Berg announces that her 1-year-old daughter, Fireese, will demonstrate her sign language skills. Fireese stares into the video camera and sucks contemplatively on her finger, but her focus sharpens when her mom asks, "Where's Daddy?"
"Dada!" says Fireese, flashing a chubby-cheeked grin and raising her right hand to the side of her head with her thumb extended.
Berg would have been happy if the 2007 video of her daughter attempting more than a dozen signs had gotten 5,000 views. Now the video has more than 4 million views, and Berg has a signing instruction business, My Smart Hands, with almost 200 instructors worldwide, and a new book, "The Baby Signing Bible" (Avery).
"Back when I started, people were, like, is it a fad?" she says. But the more people did it, she adds, the more they realized the benefits of earlier communication.
Many day care centers now use baby sign language, and last year the Newark Star-Ledger reported there were more than 100 locations offering baby sign language in New Jersey.
"I am definitely seeing an increase in interest," says Dr. Laura Jana, author of the American Academy of Pediatrics guide "Heading Home With Your Newborn."
"It's definitely gotten into that upscale 'What can I do to further my child's development?' realm, but it's also gotten just sort of mainstream."
Baby signing, in which babies are often taught basic vocabulary from American Sign Language, remains controversial, with detractors saying that businesses make unproven assertions regarding IQ improvement and accelerated language development. A 2005 review in the journal First Language found that reliable evidence is limited: "We cannot conclude, based on the present research, that training infants to use gestural signing for communication is beneficial, harmful or harmless."
Berg thinks there are benefits but takes the middle ground, emphasizing the potential for enhanced communication.
"I would never say to parents, 'If you don't sign, wow, you're missing the boat there,' " she says. "It's something you want to do or you don't. But I would say to parents, especially the older generations who say, 'I always knew what my baby wanted,' well, actually, you knew what your baby didn't want. If your baby's throwing food on the floor, you don't necessarily know what your baby wants, but you know what she doesn't want. Signing adds that extra step."

A. It is important to compare charges on your Explanation of Benefits to charges listed on health care provider bills to confirm that services you received and charges listed are correct.
Q: What does amount charged mean on my Explanation of Benefits?
A. Amount charged is the total amount charged by a health care provider for services you received. The charges for all of the services you received at that visit will be listed even if the services are not covered under your health plan.
Q: What is network savings on my Explanation of Benefits?
A. Network savings is the amount you saved by receiving services from a network or contracting health care provider.
Q: What is amount paid by health plan on my Explanation of Benefits?
A. Amount paid by health plan is amount Wellmark pays either you or the provider.
Q: How can the amount paid by Wellmark be more than what the provider charged?
A. For inpatient and outpatient services, Wellmark pays a preset amount. Since the price is pre-determined, Wellmark occasionally pays the facility more than the facility charged. Usually this occurs because your care was well-managed. Facilities prefer per case payments because it gives an opportunity for reward when it does a good job of managing your care. Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield prefers per case payments because it helps control costs by encouraging efficient delivery of health care services.
Q: Are my rates going up because Wellmark is paying more than what the provider charged?
A. No, paying greater than what the provider charged is not why your health insurance rates are going up. Paying more than the facility charged does not happen very often. When it does occur, it is usually because your care was well-managed. At the end of the day, the overall savings from paying a preset amount far outweighs those times when we pay more than the provider charged. Learn more about paying greater than charge

Our Support person, the dealer we perchased hasn't had time to post any
of our problems to his account with Unify so I was wondering if anyone
else has run into any of this.
I have a series of apps running on SCO Unixware 7.1 using Unify's HLI C
interface and we're migrating all of that to a Red Hat Rel 4 Linux
distribution. Our Unify ELS is the latest version without imbedded
SQL, but I'm at home and our Net connection was down today so the exact
version I don't have right now.
A few problems have occured, but from the HLI standpoint, I'm having a
real issue with the following.
1. valstr(char *, char **) Seg Faults.
2. The HLI reference book for extracting TEXT fields for editing with
an external editor extract apparently random characters, at least
nothing that matches the data.
1. Code snippet
static char *teststr[] = { "A ". "B ", "C ". "D " }; /*
strings to compare to (5 char field) */
char dbf_str[6]; /* vaiable to test against */
memset(dbf_str, ' ', 6); /* initializing character
array */
gfield (dbf, dbf_str); /* getting database value
into variable */
if (valstr(dbf_str, teststr) == 0) { /* meaning not
found */
Segmentation fault is on this line above. Any ideas would be greatly
2. Following the example in appendix B. for the tutorial, neither
updates TEXT fields or correctly
extracts data from a database, where data has been copied from a
working database on SCO
I'm using the vim editor and fldesc for that field correctly
indicates on a filled TEXT field as having
a length of 11, but the data is pretty much binary all over the
place with no correlation to the
original text, other than the length is correct. I do believe the
screen field output function does
show the text information on an form screen correctly. I just
can't extract the data for editing.
The above two items did work correctly under SCO. I replaced the
valstr function with a lot of scomp() functions testing each string and
that seemed to work, but so should the valstr function. The other
function is down to the gfield() function called as gfield (txtfield,
(char *) 0, field_des struct); as in the example and I do get the right
number of characters returned, they're just wrong.
Any ideas would be very greatly appreciated.

You may or may have heard of the recent phenomenon that was the Veronica Mars movie Kickstarter. It's not scifi, so it's not something we covered. The ripple effect that it could have on scifi movies is, however, VERY interesting to us here at SciFi Mafia. Here's a little background on what happened with the Veronica Mars Kickstarter.
March 13th, creator and writer Rob Thomas (with a blessing from Warner Brothers) opened a Kickstarter to allow fans to fund a Veronica Mars movie. Within 6 hours the movie had reached it $2 million goal. As of me writing this it has amassed $3,610,584.
Can it be done for Firefly? Joss Whedon spoke to Buzzfeed on just this topic, because Browncoats are insatiable when it comes to Firefly.
I've said repeatedly that I would love to make another movie with these guys, and that remains the case. It also remains the case that I'm booked up by Marvel for the next three years, and that I haven't even been able to get Dr. Horrible 2 off the ground because of that. So I don't even entertain the notion of entertaining the notion of doing this, and won't. Couple years from now, when Nathan [Fillion]'s no longer [on] Castle and I'm no longer the Tom Hagen of the Marvel Universe and making a giant movie, we might look and see where the market is then. But right now, it's a complete non-Kickstarter for me.
It seems that it really boils down to time and hopefully (fingers crossed) when the time is right, he knows he can turn to the fans to get another movie out there.
How about Chuck? THR spoke to star of the show Zachary Levi and he was very enthusiastic.
If I had the power and the rights, I would have done it myself already.
So much of the budget goes into advertising. If we came out with a Chuck movie now, I don't know how many more people who didn't watch Chuck would watch this movie. You don't need to do a theatrical release. You're doing it for the fans.
You'd want to do an online release, and if people want to pay extra dollars to get the DVD and Blu-ray, you can make money from those purchases. I would keep overhead as low as possible [with] social marketing.
So, I guess it's not really up to Zachary Levi whether or not the Chuck movie gets made, but maybe he can light a fire under executive producer, Josh Schwartz.
How about Pushing Daisies? Brian Fuller also spoke to THR on starting a Kickstarter for Pushing Daisies. He is interested, but fans would really have to dig deep to make it worth while.
For something like Pushing Daisies, which is more elaborate visually and also would require extensive prosthetics and those sorts of complicating production elements, it's a little more daunting.
Personally, I would have NO issue signing on to help fund a Pushing Daisies movie. Any other movie projects that you would like to see Kickstarted?

IFAs: Gender directive will bring opportunities
UK-based IFAs believe that the opportunities offered by the forthcoming gender directive, set to come into force on 21 December 2011, far outweigh the threats, according to a study conducted by Scottish Provident.
Conducted as part of Scottish Provident's Women and Protection campaign, the study, which was conducted through IFA promotional website Unbiased.com and received 129 responses, found that 75 per cent of IFAs see the directive as advantageous.
Some two in three responded saying it will give them an additional reason to talk to their clients because this is something that will directly affect them, while almost one in six are acting in the hope of bringing female clients on board before the directive deadline.
In March 2011, the European Court of Justice ruled that insurers cannot charge different annuity rates for men and women.
There has since been concern that gender neutral pricing will increase the cost of annuities for women and will directly affect any pension schemes which insure death benefits or secure benefits by buying annuities
Last month, Scottish Provident published research suggesting that women should take advantage of current pricing plans to avoid the potential negative effects of the changes.
The latest Scottish Provident data showed that only 22 per cent of IFAs view the approaching deadline as a threat. However, 12 per cent are concerned they will lose female clients as a result of the ECJ ruling coming into force, and 10 per cent believe they will lose male clients.
Surprisingly, some 3 per cent of IFAs were not even aware of the gender directive.
Jennifer Gilchrist, senior product development manager at Scottish Provident, said: "In some ways the gender directive provides an immediate opportunity for the protection market.
"With prices on a range of protection products currently at an all-time low, our campaign is designed to paint a clear message that financial protection is a necessity and people should get it in place now before premiums increase. It is vital that everyone safeguards their families' futures against unforeseen future circumstances.
"It is clear that women are especially vulnerable to the increased costs of life insurance following the directive, but there will likely be price rises across the board. IFAs should take advantage of this now and encourage clients to protect their families against the worst case scenarios. "

Hauraki Gulf Islands
The sixteen Hauraki Islands are scattered off the coast of Auckland in Hauraki Bay. Auckland's summer playground, they contain some lovely places to get away from it all and indulge in walking, horse riding, swimming, eating and drinking.
Island highlights include Waiheke Island which is described as a magical island paradise and is home to over 7,000 people. Its beaches are beautiful and safe for swimming, sea kayaking and fishing, making it a popular holiday spot in summer. The rest of the year there are lovely walks and lots of restaurants, cafes and vineyards to visit.
On Tiritiri Matangi Island, which is being returned to its original forest, you can explore the unusual fauna and birdlife native to New Zealand. You can also see the gulf's oldest lighthouse, circa 1864, which is now the brightest lighthouse in the southern hemisphere.
The cone shape of the dormant volcano that forms Rangitono Island provides some excellent walking opportunities with great views of Auckland City and the harbor from the summit.
Practical Info
Regular ferries and car ferries to the islands leave from the Downtown Ferry Terminal in Auckland and some islands have airstrips, though you'll need permission to land.

President Obama and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that certain foreign nationals who were brought to the U.S. before the age of 16, and who were under age 31 as of June 15, 2012, can apply for protection for two years from deportation and work authorization. This new policy and process is called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has published the following tips to assist applicants:
Filing your request for consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals involves several steps. You need to submit multiple forms, evidence and fees. Small mistakes in preparing your request could lead to it being rejected. Please read these tips to avoid having your request rejected or delayed because of common filing errors.
1. Mail all forms together – You must mail the following forms in one package:
a. For Form I-821D, Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, Click here.
b. For Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, Click here.
c. For Form I-765WS, Worksheet, Click here.
***Be sure to read these mailing instructions to see where to mail the forms based on the state you live in. Remember to send it to the P.O. Box address if mailing through the U.S. Postal Service. All forms are available at www.uscis.gov/forms for free. Do not pay for blank USCIS forms either in person or over the Internet.
2. Sign your forms – You must sign both your Form I-821D and Form I-765. If someone helps you fill out the forms, that person must also sign both Form I-812D and Form I-765 in the designated box below your signature.
3. Write your name and date of birth the same way on each form – Variations in the way information is written can cause delays. For example, you should not write Jane Doe on one form and Jane E. Doe on another form. It is important to read all instructions on the forms carefully.
4. Use the correct version of Form I-765 – Always make sure you have the most recent form when submitting your request with USCIS. to download the most recent version. You can download all USCIS forms and instructions for free on www.uscis.gov/forms.
5. Use Form I-821D NOT Form I-821 – Form I-821D is used to request consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals. Form I-821 is a different form used to apply for Temporary Protected Status, an entirely different process.
6. Do NOT e-file Form I-765 – Requests for consideration of deferred action cannot be e-filed. You must mail your package (Forms I-821D, I-765, I-765WS, evidence and fees) to the appropriate USCIS Lockbox listed here.
7. Submit correct fees –The fee to request consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals is $465 and cannot be waived. There are fee exemptions (click for instructions) available only in limited circumstances. You may submit separate checks of $380 and $85, or one single check of $465.
8. Answer all questions completely and accurately – If an item is not applicable or the answer is "none," leave the space blank. To ensure your request is accepted for processing, be sure to complete these required form fields:
Form I-821D: Name, Address, Date of Birth
Form I-765: Name, Address, Date of Birth, Eligibility Category
9. Provide all required supporting documentation and evidence – You must submit all required evidence and supporting documentation. These documents are required for USCIS to make a decision on your request. Please organize and label your evidence by the guideline it meets.
10. If you make an error on a form, start over with a clean form – USCIS prefers that you type your answers into the form and then print it. If you are filling out your form by hand, use black ink. If you make a mistake, please start over with a new form. Scanners will see through white out or correction tape and this could lead to the form being processed as incorrect, and lead to processing delays or denial.
11. Carefully review age guidelines before filing – If you have never been in removal (deportation) proceedings, or your proceedings have been terminated, you must be at least 15 years of age or older at the time of filing.
You cannot be the age of 31 or older as of June 15, 2012, to be considered for deferred action for childhood arrivals.
To ensure that your request is accepted for processing, it is important that you review your entire request package before you file with USCIS. A consultation with an experienced immigration attorney is highly recommended to confirm your eligibility, inform you of risks and watchouts, and advise you regarding future potential options to legalize your status and of the best evidence to submit (and not to submit) to increase your chances of approval of your Deferred Action request. Contact The Law Office of Tanya M. Lee today at 480-559-9529 for a confidential consultation.

It turned out Oakland A's co-owner Lew Wolff hasn't just showered Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan with praise in recent months. Campaign finance reports released Thursday show that Wolff gave $1,000 to Kaplan's recently shuttered Safe Streets Local Jobs campaign fund.
The contribution, dated May 5, came around the time Kaplan met with Wolff and Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty to set the framework for the team's lease extension at O.co Coliseum. When a majority of council members panned the deal and later held out for a few minor changes, Wolff credited Kaplan with convincing him to accept the amendments.
Asked about the contribution on Friday, Wolff wrote that it was "a good cause, and I like Rebecca."
The campaign fund was set up to support a half-cent sales tax increase on the November ballot in Alameda County that would fund nearly $8 billion in infrastructure improvements.
Kaplan opted to liquidate the fund at the end of June amid concerns from backers of the initiative that she would use it to help fund her mayoral campaign rather than the ballot measure. There is no limit on contributions to ballot measure funds, but contributions to mayoral campaigns are capped at $700 per person.
In June, this paper reported that when Kaplan last ran for mayor in 2010 she used funds from a similar ballot measure campaign to pay for staffers who worked on her mayoral campaign and to give to third party groups that sent out mailers touting her as a mayoral candidate.
Oakland's Public Ethics Commission is currently investigating those expenditures.
Kaplan's recent filing didn't ease concerns of critics, who noted that she ended up paying her mayoral campaign manager, Jason Overman, nearly as much as from the campaign fund as she gave to the official ballot measure campaign.
Over a 12 month period ending last June, she raised $57,420 for the ballot measure, but she only gave $20,855 to Better Transportation for Alameda County, the official committee trying to pass the ballot measure. The rest was spent on a range of items and consultants, with $19,858 going to Overman, who served as the committee's treasurer and was a staffer in her council office until he quit that job in June.
Joe Tuman, who is running for mayor against Kaplan, questioned whether Overman was truly being paid for his work on Kaplan's ballot measure committee.
"In the worst case this smacks as laundering," he said. "And in the best case, it smacks as abusing the process and not being honest about what the money is being used for."
Overman said he performed policy analysis and polling data analysis as well as fundraising and accounting work for the ballot measure.
"If you consider the scope of work I did, it's actually below market rate if you were to piece out all the services I was providing," Overman said.
He also said that Kaplan's contribution is double what she was asked to give as a member of the steering committee working to pass the ballot measure, although at least one other elected official has solicited more contributions for measure.
BART board member Tom Blalock said he has raised about $50,000 for the measure. But the contributions Blalock solicited went straight into the measure's official campaign fund. Asked about Kaplan's fundraising effort in which just over one-third of the dollars raised went into the measure's official campaign fund, Blalock said he couldn't comment because he didn't have all the facts.
Embattled Newark motel staying open
A motel threatened with closure because police said it was plagued by chronic crime will stay open for now, as its owners have pledged to make it safer.
The E-Z 8 Motel's owners have until January to enforce new rules and regulations aimed at improving public safety and lowering its crime rate, said Newark Assistant City Manager Terrence Grindall.
Newark police recommended closing the 141-room motel at 5555 Cedar Court because it had become a haven for gang members and a hotbed of illegal street drug use and sales.
But the motel's San Diego-based executives have struck a deal with city staffers to avoid closure for now, Grindall said. The owners have promised Newark leaders that they will have an on-site manager, a nightly curfew from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., an improved security camera system, a 21-day limit for guests, and require all guests to provide identification, among other new policies intended to reduce crime there, Grindall said.
The Newark Planning Commission will meet Jan. 7, to check on the motel's progress.
"They have until then to do the things that they have promised to do," Grindall said.
Employers sent minimum wage letter
The city of Berkeley started mailing out 13,000 letters to businesses that have employees in the city telling them they must comply with the new minimum wage law by Oct. 1 mandating workers be paid at least $10 an hour.
The new law, passed on June 24 by the City Council, applies to businesses for employees who work two or more hours in the city. The wage rises to $11 an hour on Oct. 1, 2015, and to $12.53 on Oct. 1, 2016.
Nonprofits get a break until Oct. 1, 2015, when they have to start paying workers $11 an hour.
According to a list of questions and answers for worker and employers, the new law does not allow employers to figure in tips when calculating a worker's wages. Workers who are not getting the minimum wage after Oct. 1 can file a complaint with the city, and the city will not question immigration status of anyone making a complaint. Workers also cannot voluntarily agree to work for less than the city's minimum wage, according to the ordinance.
The city has dedicated a website for workers and employers with information about the new law at www.cityofberkeley.info/mwo.

Endgame: Penguins 5, Islanders 0
Monday, 11.21.2011 / 11:20 PM ET / News

Pens-Isles In-Game Blog (Crosby Returns Edition)
Teammates Excited for Crosby's Return
Crosby Is Back
Penguins Report: Game Day vs. NY Islanders (Crosby Returns Edition)
Bylsma Transcript on Crosby's Return
Crosby Cleared to Return; Skate with Kunitz, Dupuis
Everything you need to know from the Penguins' 5-0 blanking of the NY Islanders:
The Penguins started scoring early against the Islanders and didn't stop ending the game with an impressive 5-0 shutout.
Tonight's win marks the sixth straight game won on home ice and the 13th straight home game that the Penguins have won against the Islanders. This stretch dates back to the 4-3 victory on Feb. 7, 2008 at Mellon Arena.
The Penguins have outscored the Islanders, 53-19, and outshot them, 402-365, during this streak that's stretched over three years.
Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury held off the Islanders for the shutout, marking the fourth time this has happened for the Penguins during their impressive tear against the Islanders.
It was a dominant all-around effort for the Penguins, energized by the return of their captain, Sidney Crosby, and the resulting frenzied crowd.
They peppered Islanders goaltender Anders Nilsson – making his first-career NHL start – with 36 shots, while killing off all five New York power plays and converting on one of their four man-advantages.
"We played a great game," forward Chris Kunitz said. "Our D played great, blocked a lot of shots. Our PK was great. Our PP scored a goal for us. All around, it was a great game and it was great to have Sid back, our captain and our leader."
Fleury came up big for the Penguins tonight with the shutout, his second of the season and 21st of his career.
He's now one whitewashing shy of tying the franchise mark of 22, set by Tom Barrasso.
"It was definitely good to get a shutout tonight," Fleury said. "The guys played very well in front and got a lot of big goals for me."
The Islanders finished with 29 shots on goal, but Fleury was able to hold them off to earn his league-leading (tied) 11th win of the season.
The Islanders had good scoring opportunities, especially as the game wore on. But Fleury was always one step ahead, such as when he made a lightning-fast save against Michael Grabner in the third period – inspiring fans to start a "Fleury! Fleury!" chant.
"It was a lot of fun," Fleury said. "The atmosphere was very electric. It was just loud and fun."
He also stood tall through three Islanders power plays during the second half of the third period, where he had to come up with several key stops to keep New York off the board.
"He's always there for us," defenseman Kris Letang said of Fleury. "I don't think there's been one night this year when he was not ready for a game."
Sidney Crosby returned to the lineup tonight after missing 61straight games with a concussion, and it was like he was never gone.
The Penguins came out fighting against the New York Islanders playing to the energy of the crowd, who drowned out the PA announcer when he said Crosby's name.
The crowd, waving signs reading "Welcome back Sid," cheered loudly for their captain – filling the arena with noise which emanated a Stanley Cup playoff game.
And Crosby didn't disappoint, scoring on his first shot in his only 5:24 minutes into the game. One goal was not enough for the centerman who tallied another goal early in the third period after some impressive stick handling.
Crosby also tallied two assists, one coming on Brooks Orpik's goal late in the first period and the other on Evgeni Malkin's power-play tally early in the second period.
Zbynek Michalek's return to the Penguins lineup flew under the radar tonight, but after missing the last 10 games since Oct. 25 with a broken finger the blueliner is back.
"I felt pretty good considering all things," Michalek said. "I haven't had much practice time, but I felt good."
"I was getting tired by the end, but I expect it to get better and better."
Michalek's return brought one of the Penguins' best penalty killers back to the roster. He logged 19:51 minutes, 4:31 of which he played shorthanded.
The Penguins penalty kill, ranked first in the NHL, continued to be successful tonight – warding off the Islander's five power-play opportunities. Michalek accounted for one blocked shot and three shots on goal during his time on the ice.

Show Setlist
As my 34th show that I had seen in person I was excited by "The Divided Sky" opener (promising to be as strong as the previous night). But as "Suzy Greenberg" followed, I suspected the show would go toward the more predictable crowd pleasers (like the "Down With Disease", and "Prince Caspian"). "Tears Of A Clown" in the middle of "Scent Of A Mule" was bizarre (planned?) but amusing. As "Mexican Cousin" closed the first set I hoped for a comeback in the second set. YES! Opening with "Run Like An Antelope" reminded me of the 1995 show at Great Woods with a person doing backflips (where there were now seats at the Tweeter Center...) But the song doesn`t end - it morphs into..."2001"! Another strong jam building anticipation, SO funky, as is "Tweezer". But as the "Tweezer" jam leads into "Hold Your Head Up" I felt that the Fishman song ruined the flow of this particular set. "Drums" was great, showing the bond between Trey and Fish. "Timber" always rocks, but have to admit I had hoped for a better ending (the last three songs: "Sample In A Jar", "Bouncing Around The Room", "Tweezer Reprise"?) I just thought maybe there would be a return to the unfinished "Run Like An Antelope"? Still a great show though. Thanks Phish!

1993 Honda Prelude Si 4WS Si 4WS 2dr Coupe
I've had this car almost 10 years and still love to drive it. It's fun and fast.
5-speed and sunroof
Reduce the or refine the sound of the vehicle muffler.
This is a really fun to drive car. It's got good power, when you take off in first and run it up to about 3,000 rpm and just stomp on the gas, the tires break loose and just start spinning. I love it.
Power for a 4 cylinder, I was really underestimating the power, also the 4ws is a dream come true.
The interior should have better seating room but everything else is great.
The 93 prelude 4WS si i think is the best that Honda has ever made. The performance is just right for a 4 cyl that dose not have a VTEC motor and the convertible is unbelievable.
The 4WS.
Bring the prelude back honda.
Bought my red 5 speed in June 2005 with 129,000 miles on the clock. I now have 150,000 and I just love this car. I like the punch, the great corner- carving ability and the looks. Each time I walk past the car I just have to smile. I know the 4WS makes the car heavier and therefore slower than the VTEC, but the handling is so great it is worth it. I soon intend to use it as a track day car (while continuing the "daily driver" duties.)
The styling, the solid feel of the entire car, the Si engine (that can run well on 87 octane when the gas gougers raise the prices). The trunk is capable for a true sports car. Even the back seat is OK for some storage as I bought the car knowing no human over 6 months old could fit in it.
It needs at least 1 cup holder and a bigger glove box. I'd also like to see more after-market options.
I own a 93 Honda Prelude VTEC, and I absolutely love it! I bought it with 103k miles on it back in 99 and cant stop redlining it every chance I get since then. The car has 160k and is 14 years old now so few things eventfully give up do to my rough driving habits: clutch, O2 sensor, exhaust flex pipe, hmm
I cant think of anything more
the button for a hand brake is sticking once a week. Seats are so comfortable that it is hard to stay awake for long drives, but one push on the gas pedal and a sound of the VTEC engaging while you accelerate to 120mph on fairly sharp corner will send your hart rate sky rocking and will put a big smile on your face.
When I smoke my buddies Mustang SVT on the road course, I love that suspension and PERFECT gear ration in my trany
This car is discontinued. Prelude lost buyers because of a horrible body change that they did for 97 and up, only one choice of an engine with lower performance then 93-96, manual transmission as an expensive option. Put the curves back, stick a V6 in it, and I will be first one in line to buy it

EU Week Ahead Feb. 24 – March 2: Ukraine, Economic Forecasts
The European Commission's economic forecasts, a meeting of defense ministers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and a visit to Brussels from Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff take pride of place in this week's European Union agenda, although much of the focus is again likely to be on the bloc's response to events in Ukraine.
On Monday, the Brazilian president will meet with European Commission President José Manuel Barroso and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy with trade ties at the top of the agenda. There will be a news conference at midday Brussels time.
On Tuesday, the commission will deliver its winter forecasts amid still tentative signs of a real economic recovery in the region and worries about deflationary pressures. In the last set of forecasts in November, the Commission predicted growth of 1.1% for this year in the euro zone and 1.4% across the 28-nation bloc and saw inflation at 1.5% in 2014 in the single currency zone, well above the
0.7% 00.8%* annual rate it fell to in January.
Also on Tuesday, the European Parliament will vote on EU-wide rules to make it easier for member states to confiscate criminal assets.
The Ukraine crisis will be the focus of NATO defense ministers who meet in Brussels Wednesday and Thursday. The Parliament will also debate and vote on the decision of foreign ministers on Thursday to impose targeted sanctions on those responsible for violence and human rights abuses.
The big question for the EU now is what kind of assistance they can offer Ukraine. European governments are reviving plans to offer a large aid package but insist funds would come only with pledges of major economic overhauls.
On Thursday, the European Court of Justice will hand down its verdict on the legality of a Spanish fuel tax that could force Spain's central and regional governments to refund billions of euros to businesses and consumers.
At the end of the week, Mr. Barroso will be in Berlin Saturday to participate in a debate with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

* After this article was published, Eurostat revised annual inflation for the euro zone in January to 0.8% from 0.7%.

Product Reviews
One of the games I liked the look of but didn't buy at Essen last year was this little multi-player abstract. It came in a nice small box, ideal for tucking into the corner of a suitcase, but only if the suitcase then went in the boot of the car. If instead the suitcase was one that was already heavy and that you were going to have carry to and round railway stations and airports, wisdom dictated that the game stayed unbought, because this little box was full of steel nuts--the 'Muttern' of the title--and its weight reflected that. A couple of months later, after I had made a brief reference to the game in my Essen report, a parcel arrived containing a present from Hartmut. There are some very nice people in this hobby.
The game equipment consists of 70 hexagonal nuts and some coloured marbles and the object is to build towers with marbles of your colour on top of them.
At the start of the game the nuts are pushed together to form a connected 'land'. The precise shape is up to the players and there can be bays, peninsulars and lakes, as the mood takes you. The marbles are then placed on nuts at the edge of the land, with each player placing those of their right-hand opponent. Once the game starts, your turn consists of two actions: (1) moving one of your marbles and (2) removing a nut from its present position and placing it on top of another one, thus creating a tower. The movement options and a restriction on which nuts can be shifted then make for some interesting tactics.
In order to be moved a nut has to be adjacent to one of your own marbles and 'free', with the definition of 'free' being that there is nothing, nut or marble, sitting on top of it and that at least three of its sides are not adjacent to other nuts. For a nut at ground level, this latter means that it has to at the edge and 'sticking out', but for nuts at a higher level it is a condition that is almost automatically met. Moving a nut is the second thing you do in your turn, the first being move a marble, and when you come to place the nut back on the board, you have to put it on top of an empty nut adjacent to the marble you have just moved.
When moving marbles you have three options: simple movement, jumping and pushing. Simple movement is to an adjacent empty nut that is either on the same level or exactly one level up or down. Jumping is moving over an adjacent nut to the one beyond, but with the restriction that the intervening nut must have a marble on top of it and that the same sort of progression of levels as you had for simple movement is followed. So, a jump from a level one, over a level one and to a level one is okay, as is level one to level three over a level two, but level one to level three over a level one is not because of the 'double step'. Pushing consists of moving to an adjacent nut that is occupied by a marble and displacing it, with the displaced marble going to a nut that is adjacent to it in turn. This can set up a chain reaction. Pushing must be either all at the one level or downhill, one step at a time.
The general strategy is to try and group your marbles together and to create a range of hills where they dominate, for only then can you create the situation where your marbles can climb to the top of the 4-story towers, which is what the victory conditions require. Just how many towers depends on the number of people playing.
Pure abstracts aren't to everyone's taste, but if you do like them, this is worth considering. It is interesting and is unusual in that it will work as well multi-player as with just two. It also lends itself to partnership play. English rules are available, with the translator having come up with a witty pun of his own to replace the untranslatable German one of the title. I don't have a price for the game, but if you are interested, contact Hartmut at Steingrube 4, 88630 Pullendoif, Germany. Alternatively, if you are going to Essen, check out the Witt Spiele stand.
