The coin-op & gaming museum...
Dear visitor, welcome to Arcade-History, a large searchable & comprehensive database which provides a WIP list of known antique & modern, rare, prototype, non-released and released arcade games from all over the world.
An arcade game is a coin-operated (also bill-operated or card-operated) entertainment machine, usually installed in public businesses such as restaurants, public houses, and arcades. Most arcade games are: coin-operated video games, redemption games, pinballs, casino games including slot machines / pachislots and pachinkos. Also bat games, bingos, gun games, bowlers/shuffle alleys, jukeboxes, musical instruments, trade stimulators, fortune tellers, strength testers, kiddie rides, allwins, working models, vending machines, pool tables, viewers, shockers, scales & more...
In addition to restaurants and arcades, arcade games were also found in bowling alleys, college campuses, dormitories, laundromats, movie theatres, supermarkets, shopping malls, airports, truck stops, bar/pubs, hotels, and even bakeries. In short, coin-operated arcade games are popular in places open to the public where people are likely to have free time.
The first popular arcade games were early amusement park games such as shooting galleries, ball toss games, and the earliest coin-operated machines, such as fortune tellers, strength testers or played mechanical musics. More modern gaming has been lead towards the popularity of online games and the popular casino games on offer, however if you are looking to take a trip back in to the history of gaming.
Arcade video games are often composed of short levels, intuitive control mechanisms and a rising difficulty. This is the main concept of an arcade video game in which the player is essentially obliged to pay to maintain the play. The arcade game has, as its main feature, the impossibility for the player to win. "The game ends invariably to overwhelm the player, by becoming unplayable, and overcome by saturating the capacity of the player. The arcade video game is based on the fundamental principle of the player's overflow by the game.". A console or computer game can be considered as an arcade game if this game shares the same qualities (or if the game is a direct port of the original arcade title).
Everything in one place...
2013 Update: Arcade-History now covers consoles video games and computers video games, in the hope to be compliant with MAME and MESS emulators. Each month, the database is partially (games with ROMs) extracted as the popular History.dat file, wich is readable under most MAME/MESS GUIs and Frontends.
Coin-Op Boy
Arcade-History is also the home of Coin-Op Boy: a video game, developed internally and playable online, where you are a small boy that play video games and more... The main project is to add many games inside the game.

Cpl. Rodolfo P. "Rudy" Hernandez, 83, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Harry Truman on April 12, 1952.
He chose to speak in Tracy because of family ties. A nephew, Dennis Hernandez Sr., coordinated the men's conference for his church and invited his Uncle Rudy to be the guest of honor.
Hernandez enjoyed speaking at the conference and visiting with family and stated he would like to return to Tracy next year for the annual conference.
During the Korean War, Hernandez, a member of Company G, 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team, distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy on May 31, 1951, near the small village of Wongtong-ni.
At 2 a.m., with rain coming down and the night pitch black, the 20-year-old corporal and another soldier were in a foxhole hearing the enemy coming closer and closer. The night erupted with enemy artillery, mortar and machine gun fire.
Overwhelmingly outnumbered, they returned fire, but the enemy kept advancing and both were almost immediately wounded.
Though told to retreat, Hernandez and his foxhole mate held their position and kept firing. Hernandez was hit by shrapnel and part of his brain was blown away. Then a shell ruptured in the chamber of his rifle, and his M1 jammed.
Hernandez later said, "I thought no doctor could ever repair me, so I might as well go out and do as much damage as I could."
He climbed out of his foxhole armed with grenades and his jammed rifle with the bayonet still intact.
The wounded 20-year-old soldier charged the numerically superior North Koreans with his brain exposed and partially blown off.
He used his grenades and his bayonet and also engaged in hand-to-hand combat, killing six enemy soldiers before collapsing unconscious from grenade, bayonet and bullet wounds.
His heroic actions momentarily halted the enemy advance and allowed his unit to regroup, counterattack and retake the lost ground.
Hernandez was found at daybreak, lying among the bodies of the North Korean soldiers he had killed. Thought to be dead, he was put into a body bag, but someone saw his fingers move.
The medics rushed to work on him and he was sent to a South Korean hospital. Drifting in and out of consciousness, he was unable to comprehend where he was or move his arms or legs, talk or swallow.
Eight weeks later, he was sent to Letterman Hospital in San Francisco, where doctors replaced the damaged part of his skull with a plastic plate.
Eventually, he learned to walk again and was told several months later he would receive the Medal of Honor.
At 83 years old, Hernandez is the last living Hispanic Medal of Honor recipient from the Korean War.
Hernandez has traveled all over the United States as an honored guest of numerous military and Medal of Honor Society events and has been the guest of every president to hold office since he was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1952. He receives many invitations and can pick which events he desires to attend.
The Medal of Honor Society sponsors members by accommodating traveling expenses and lodging for sanctioned events. However, as the conference was not sanctioned by the society, Dennis Hernandez Sr. reached out to numerous veterans groups to arrange for transportation from Fayetteville, N.C., and lodging for his uncle.
Doug Miller, representing Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6298 in Pleasanton, arranged for first-class airline tickets in partnership with Wounded Warriors.
Albert Moreno, of Tracy, spearheaded the drive to have Tracy VFW Post 1537 pay Hernandez's hotel fees for his stay in the city.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Two Syracuse teens have been arrested for an attempted robbery during an alleged drug deal.
The Onondaga County Sheriff's office says John McFadden and Charles Baz, both 18, were dealing Hydrocodone in the West Genesee Wegmans parking lot last Friday. They say Baz staged the drug deal, and when the 17-year old victim from Lyncourt arrived, McFadden threatened him with a knife. The victim sustained a minor cut following a brief fight. McFadden is been charged with attempted robbery, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. Baz is facing attempted robbery and conspiracy charges. Both teens posted bail of $1,000.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (November 14, 2010)—Sister Dawn showed tenacity in the final eighth of a mile to score by a neck in the $62,000 Playa Del Rey Stakes Sunday at Hollywood Park.
Lady Dawn's victory at 7-1 was one of several in the Pick Six, so there will be a carryover of $99,992 when racing resumes Thursday. Post time is 12:30 p.m. The Pick Six begins in the third race.
There is also a carryover in the Super High Five of $41,816. The Super High Five is offered each racing day in the final race.
After battling for the early advantage with Holding Her Ground while inside of that one, Sister Dawn was able to find a bit extra late under jockey Joel Rosario after being headed briefly by 7-5 favorite Mother Ruth.
In winning for the third time in her last four starts, Sister Dawn, a 3-year-old Indian Charlie filly out of the Strawberry Road mare Joi's Flame, covered the six furlongs over Cushion Track in 1:09.94.
Owned by Ike and Dawn Thrash and trained by John Sadler, Sister Dawn is 4-for-9 lifetime. She's earned $153,707.
The victory was the second in the Playa Del Rey for Sadler. He won the inaugural running in 2007 with Lady Gamer.
Not favored for only the second time in her career, Sister Dawn returned $16.40, $5.60 and $3.40. Mother Ruth, who was a bit slow to begin in her quest to win her second in a row for owner Ahmed Zayat and trainer Bob Baffert, paid $3 and $2.40. The show price on Silver Swallow, who finished 1 ¼ lengths behind Mother Ruth, was $2.60.
The only other time Silver Dawn had not been the betting choice in a race was in the Victory Ride, a Grade III, Aug. 28 at Saratoga. She finished seventh that day at 13-1 in a race captured by the Baffert-trained Rapport.
There will be simulcast wagering in Hollywood Park's Player's Club and Casino Wednesday. Gates open at 10:15 a.m.

Yes, it would be easy to load up on firearm metaphors when describing the Gunshow rashguard from Rusty. Don't worry, we're not going to ramrod you with obvious gun puns. This unique rashguard deserves more than some half-cocked explanation - it needs a more targeted approach to give you the ammunition to convince whoever controls the purse strings to release the safety and pull the trigger. It features built-in, water-resistant headphones and a dry pouch for your media player or cell phone, so you can listen to music clips while riding the double barrel. The hood on this lightweight top is removable and the mesh material even offers UV protection. We know you've got this rashguard in your sights. Please gauge for yourself the best way to avoid any recoil when picking this up - we certainly don't want anyone to go ballistic!

Nino Schurter Sprints to fourth Victory of the Season
On Saturday a large crowd was watching the third race of the BMC Racing Cup at the Bike Days in Solothurn. The spectators witnessed an exciting men's race, in which Nino Schurter outsprinted Julien Absalon again. In the women's race Esther Süss was victorious for the third time this season.
The final show-down very much suited the refined taste of the well-informed audience in Solothurn. The "Schanzen-Graben" was the scene of yet another exciting sprint duel between Julien Absalon (BMC Racing Team) and Nino Schurter (Scott-Swiss Power). This spectacle delighted the audience.
After 38.5 kilometers, about 150 meters from the finish line, World Champion Nino Schurter passed two-time Olympic champion Julien Absalon on muddy ground, cheered by the spectators. Schurter celebrated his third victory over the Frenchman this year. It was Schurter's fourth win of the season, three of them achieved at BMC Racing Cup events.
"I had the feeling that today he was stronger than me on the uphill sections. But in the last lap, he just did not ride away. I was still feeling a little tired from the Eliminator Sprint yesterday, but today in the final sprint my strength sufficed. This is an auspicious sign for the World Cup, "said Schurter (Chur), referring also to the advantage which had been supplied to him by his team-mate Florian Vogel.
Vogel as well as former World Champion Christoph Sauser (Specialized Racing) were part of the leading quartet. In the sixth lap (of seven) Sauser's chain broke. Thus three riders remained. Although Vogel was not able to stay with Absalon and Schurter on the climb, he managed to come close again on the long, flat asphalt passage.
"It was not easy to race against these two Scott riders," said Julien Absalon.
"I had to decide whether to accelerate or to wait. So I decided to speed up. That's why - in the end - there was a certain lack of energy. Well, it was good interval training today, and for me the build-up for the World Cup in two weeks was more important than the result, "said the 32-year-old. He crossed the line in second position, five seconds behind Schurter.
Florian Vogel (Rapperswil-Jona) was third (+0:30). He rated this as a good result. "In the climbs I'm not yet powerful enough, but generally I was feeling quite good," said Vogel.
BMC riders Lukas Flückiger and Moritz Milatz completed the five-member podium in positions four and five and thus highlighted a strong team performance.
Esther Süss (Wheeler iXS) dominated the women's race and celebrated her third victory in just as many BMC Racing Cup events in 2013. Clearly stronger than her three companions the 39-year-old from Kuettigen left them behind in the second lap (5.5 km). After five laps she won the race with a margin of 1:17 minutes.
"On this course, it is difficult to go ahead alone. If the others are in agreement behind you, then they can work together on the long asphalt stretch. But my legs worked fine and I never went to the limits of my capacity in order to have some strength left when they come from behind, "said Esther Süss. She knows everything about the secret of success in Solothurn: She has won the race four times in a row.
Kathrin Stirnemann (Sabine Spitz Haibike, Graenichen) was second, just three seconds ahead of Katrin Leumann (Ghost Factory Racing). Stirnemann, winner of the Eliminator Sprint the day before, suffered from a sudden loss of power in the second lap. This was when Leumann got away from her.
But together with Junior World Champion Andrea Waldis (Colnago-Alto Adige, Morschach) Stirnemann managed to stay within ten to 15 seconds behind Leumann. And at the beginning of the last lap this duo was able to close up to Leumann again.
"I have tried to avoid that they catch up with me. Maybe I have lost too much energy trying to keep in front of them, "said Leumann. Nevertheless she managed to get a small advantage in the last downhill section, but on flat ground Kathrin Stirnemann had more power and caught up to Leumann again. Stirnemann reached the start-finish area "Schanzen-Graben" in front and secured second place. "When your mind is free, you will overcome all sorts of foibles," rejoiced Stirnemann.
Andrea Waldis was happy with fourth place (+1:43) in this elite field. The 18-year-old was convinced to have done an "incredible race" and was "very happy" about yet another strong performance in her first season in the women's class.
Swiss victories in juniors races
Dominic Grab (Grab-Credo, Ebmating) won the Juniors' race in the morning. After five rounds on the muddy Solothurn course, Grab celebrated his first victory of the season. He was 21 seconds ahead of Manuel Fasnacht (Scott-Swisspower, Gretzenbach). Third was the Dutchman Milan Vader, another six seconds back. Due to his success today, Grab took the overall lead from Simon Vitzthum (Bischibikes, Rheineck).
Alessandra Keller (Strüby MTB squad, Stans) won the junior women's race in superior manner after three uncontested rounds with a 2:34 minutes lead in front of USA's Kate Courtney. Chrystelle Baumann (Pro Raiffeisen, Montalchez) was third (+2:42 min.)

More Stabilizers (figures 1-8) Saw you guys were cranking out a few PVC stabilizers and thought I would share a couple of mine. Made this one today. Have one on my Bengal I cranked out last year. Just cant stay out of the shop, but hey it keeps me out of the honky-tonks.
· ¾ PVC pipe cute to desired length in this case 5 ½
· Drill 5/16 hole dead center in one of the blind caps
· Wallow out the hole slightly this will allow for a centered fit with the 5/16 x 24 bolt and nut assemblage
· Slide in and make-up the 5/16 x 24 bolt with nut on outside of blind cap
· Glue in with JB Weld
· Once all of that has dried (overnight) then make up the blind cap with nut and bolt assembly to the PVC tube
· I filled the tube with crushed walnut hulls I had laying around for polishing brass
· Tap the side of the tube to get good compaction
· Knock out some of the filler so that you can get the rubber plug in about a ½ get a good snug fit and then trim off excess
· Tape off the tube so that you can make a fillet of JB Weld to smooth out the square edges of the blind cap. This makes for a smoother transition from the cap to the tube body
· I painted it with a low gloss textured paint
Pics below: Had a few more but only allowed to upload 6 or so. But you get the general idea.

Hi Everyone,
Jill and I got out for the first time together in over a year. Jill's hiatus was due to the pregnancy and then having the baby, yatta yatta yatta. Anyway, she was really happy to get out on the trail.
Obviously, as you all know, our weather was awesome on Columbus day, except for a bit of haze. The colors were wonderful, especially around the ledges. The summit wasn't too crowded and we actually had it to ourselves for the first 20 minutes up there.
My full trip report is on my blog here: http://livefreeandhikenh.blogspot.co...-favorite.html
Here are a couple of my favorite pics from the hike:

Anthony Logistics for Men Customer ReviewsGreat eye product - 4/21/2014 7:51:44 PM It keeps your eye area moisturizer without being greasy at all. I've been using it for years; I'm 49 and most people guess I am around 40.Great product - 4/1/2014 2:07:17 AM Best facial cleanser! Great price! I ordered it in the morning and received it the next afternoon! Best prices anywhere and excellent customer service. You would be a fool to shop anywhere else!!Great product! - 2/19/2013 6:58:11 AM My husband's face looks so much better, more hydrated and feels much better. He is a construction worker and out in the elements a lot and his face looks so much better (he says it feels better, too!)The pump has issues - 2/18/2013 8:47:05 AM I like the product itself, but the non-pump does not work the way a conventional (with a tube) pump works. You have to bang the bottom of the container on a hard surface to supposedly get the air out. Then you have to "pump vigorously" several times to get the product out which is sporadic at best. Sometimes you get very little, sometimes a lot more than what you need. You will probably wind up wasting a lot over the long run.WORKS WELL, APPLIES EASILY - 11/18/2012 5:24:41 PM Simply apply a small amount over a clean shaved face. "Squirt," a little into your hand and work into facial area or your troubled areas. It dries fast and leaves your skin filling silky smooth. Helps keeping skin from drying out and leaving dried flaky skin behind that "blocks," the facial hair from growing out. After it has dried then apply your favorite calogne, the ladies won't be able to keep their hands off your face.disappointing - 8/27/2012 1:24:04 AM Had high expectations when ordering this item, but it was a total disappointment. Smells really bad. The substance is too liquid and does not glide well with use of a razor blade. Would not recommend this product at all.Great for sensitive skin - 6/29/2012 3:17:26 AM I generally don't like Anthony products, but this is one exception. Great cleanser for normal to dry, sensitive skin. Not at all harsh, has a gel consistency, and not overdrying. Highly recommend. And the bluish color makes it much more exciting to use than many other clear, plain, boring cleansers, though not necessarily more effective. But for my skin, this stuff is excellent.Broad Spectrum - 6/17/2012 12:22:44 PM Here's the thing that bugs me. The Skin Store promo description says this product is has "broad spectrum" sunscreen protection but the bottle and the box the bottle comes in does NOT state that it is that full level of sun protection. I am not sure to believe. It probably isn't broad spectrum.You have to try this stuff! - 5/1/2012 8:46:48 AM I have gotten ingrown hairs for years and not much has helped. I tried everything with varied success. I started using Anthony Logistics Ingrown Hair Treatment a little over a month ago and I love it! I use it every day after shaving and I have not had an ingrown hair since. It can sting a little when first applied but that goes away quickly. I recently purchased 3 more so I would not run out. If you haven't tried this stuff, you owe it to yourself to try it and see the difference!Good product - 3/3/2012 2:01:52 PM This is a very good product to work with preventing ingrown hairs. It also works well with facial hair and the skin under. I always use this in the shower and it works well for cleaning after I have shaved. Use it like it suggest a small amount on your finger tips (about the size of a dime.) Then spread out as a gel over your entire face, eye lids, ears, inside and out, chin, neck, nose, and ect.... NO, IT DOES NOT HAVE LOTS OF texture or beads, for "grinding, ' off a layer of skin. It is good for cleaning skin already damaged by shaving, sun, wind, or other elements of exposure or treatments, and helps repair damage done by such! It has a nice citrus aroma and cleans your face superior to harsh cleansers and helps to repair damage to your facial skin I love this product and it works very well as described.

New Products from Le Creuset, Full Circle, Chef'n, Prepara, and More
Home + Housewares Show 2012
A water bottle that squeezes lemon? An all-in-one oil and vinegar dispenser? An ultra convenient mushroom slicer? These are just a few of the new and upcoming products we saw last weekend at the 2012 Home + Housewares show in Chicago. Read on for more:
Full Circle: A favorite around these parts, I was very excited about their Lemon Water On The Go bottle. How refreshing does that sound? Full Circle also introduced a glass water bottle, a compact, foldable dish rack and a foaming dish brush. (A platform-spring construction base generates foam when you dip or push down on the brush.)
Le Creuset: We already showed you Le Creuset's newest color Marseille Blue, and hinted at another big product launch for them: the Cafe Collection, their first foray into coffee and tea. The collection, available in Cherry, Truffle, and Marseille Blue, centers around a stoneware French press, with accompanying cappuccino and espresso cups, mugs, teaspoons, a sugar and creamer set, and a stoneware coffee canister.
Art+Cook: This relatively new kitchen tools company is the brainchild of Allan Ben, author of the 2004 book Art and Cook: Love Food, Live Design, Dream Art. These are kitchen tools for the design-inclined. A clean aesthetic, sleek packaging, and innovative tools (like the dual salt and pepper grinder) had me sufficiently intrigued. I'm anxious to review these tools to see if the quality matches up to the presentation.
Chef'n: A few years ago we reviewed Chef'n's Citrus Juicer, and while we were generally positive, our one con was the size: it was too small to juice larger citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits. Well, Chef'n has finally addressed that problem with the launch of their new Orange Juicer. Hurray! I was also excited about their new silicone pinch-squeeze bowls and the mushroom slicer. (I'm sorry, slicester.) Interested in knowing more about Chef'n? We toured their design studio here.
Prepara: You may be most familiar with Prepara's Herb Saver and their Tabletop Oil Mister, but they've been hard at work this past year developing a whole new line of products for the home chef, including the Topper Chopper (a kid's dream - put anything in and it chops it into sprinkles!), basting bottle and bowl sets, and a dish drying mat.

Le Creuset aside, everything seems to be made of plastic.
Not anything I can't live without.
And doesn't anyone else notice that some of these particular items were already invented... in the 1950s? I mean, come on. The orange juicer and the "topper chopper" are nothing new. My grandma has an ancient nut grinder just like that and I've seen both vintage and new citrus juicers in antiques and modern stores. In fact, I've seen much nicer, enameled metal, appropriately sized juicers for oranges, lemons, and limes at a local grocery store which not only look more beautiful than this one but are probably more durable because they aren't made out of plastic. Although the one featured here appears to be geared and is perhaps easier to squeeze.
And the "bubble up dip brush" is basically a men's shaving brush, except much wider and with tougher bristles.
The lemon squeeze water bottle is kind of cute, but what if you only want a quarter of a lemon in your quart of water?
I'm not trying to be a debbie downer here, I just get sick of people saying "look at this new thing I made!" when it's exactly the same as something already invented 50-100+ years ago.
The slicester is interesting... I go through about two or three hard-boiled egg cutters a year because I slice mushrooms and strawberries in them! I don't get the point of it being hand-held, you could drop the mushroom out if you're holding it in mid-air!
I agree that there is alot of plastic!! Though, I will melt for anything silicone AND useful!!

The older I get, the more often my mind seems to wander back to the days of my childhood. I am thankful for that and I hope I never loose my ability to remember those special times.
Just last week, when our morning temperatures dropped to the 50's, the smell of autumn was once again in the air taking me back on another trip down memory lane. It's hard to explain the smell but I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets the same sensation.
To me, it's a combination of the coolness of the air and the fresh "harvest" smell that triggers my senses. The smells of our seasons all have a distinct smell to me. And that's one of the great things about living in the country. City people just wouldn't understand what I'm talking about.
The smell of autumn reminded me of digging potatoes, gathering corn from the field, butchering hogs for our winter meat, and hunting. These things were most important if a family wanted to make it through the upcoming cold, snowy winter.
In our family you could never have too many potatoes. We always grew several hundred pounds to "put-up" for winter. We never had a cellar or a basement in our house so we stored ours in a potato hole dug in one of our barn stalls. The potato hole was "bedded" and "lined" with straw then covered with a few inches of soil to protect them from freezing during the cold winter nights.
Potatoes were served some way or another at almost every meal. We had fried potatoes in pure lard for breakfast long before they were called hash browns. We never knew what a French fry was.
We wrapped our potatoes in aluminum foil and placed them under our fireplace for baking long before they were served in almost every restaurant as a side item. I loved the taste of the baked dark-brown skin on a hot potato basted in real homemade butter.
But my favorite way Momma prepared potatoes was mashed. She never had a mixer to whip them up. She mashed hers by hand. They weren't exactly smooth like most today. Hers had chunks of potatoes scattered throughout. Then she would pour in buttermilk, salt, pepper, and at least a stick of real butter. Believe me, it didn't get any better than that.
We waited until the first frost to gather corn from the field to feed our livestock through the winter. The cold frost killed most of the bugs that might be harboring in the ears.
We used a wooden sled with runners hued from small logs. Wooden slats from the sawmill were used to build up the sides of the sled.
Our mule pulled the sled stopping every few feet as we pulled the ears from the stalks. We filled the sled from each side as it was pulled through the cornfield tossing corn into it from every direction. It was like shooting basketball.
When the sled was full we took it to the barn and emptied it into our corncrib. During the winter we tossed corn into the livestock stalls through a small window in the crib. Sometimes we shot rats near the crib with our BB guns to keep them from eating the corn.
Cool weather also meant butchering two or more hogs for meat. Dad would use a .22 rifle with a carefully placed shot to kill the hog. Momma would have the cast iron kettle full of hot boiling water ready to scald the hair on the hog before scrapping. You needed a sharp butcher knife to remove it easily and Dad was good at sharpening up the knives.
The meat was cut up into hams, shoulders, pork loins, ribs, and middlings for bacon. They were then hung in our smokehouse and cured or salted down to preserve them. I always loved the smell of the smokehouse.
Momma would take the hogs skin and bake it in the kitchen stove to make pork skins or pork rinds. The skin was also used to waterproof our brogan shoes by rubbing them down with the fat.
The extra fat from the hog was also cooked up in the big kettle to make lye soap. The lean parts of the trimmings would make cracklings. Pap Paw Miller cooked the hog's head and made the best souse meat I have ever tasted. Nothing was wasted.
The cool mornings of autumn also meant squirrel and rabbit hunting. We only had one shotgun when I was a kid and that was a .20 gauge Iver Johnson single barrel. We had to take turns hunting or at being the shooter. That old gun sure killed a lot of game.
Yep, things have changed a lot since I was a child. Hardly anyone raises a garden anymore. Raising livestock is another thing of the past. And even I don't hunt squirrel or rabbit as much as I use to since we now have deer almost everywhere.
But one thing hasn't changed. Autumn will always smell like autumn. No matter how old I get when the crispness of fall fills the air it always takes me back. Back to the time of my youth and the many fond memories of my family getting ready for another long, hard, cold winter.

Snipe huntin' was a tradition that was passed on from generation to generation in southeastern Kentucky. My Pap Paw hunted 'em, my Daddy hunted 'em and of course I hunted 'em but none of us every caught one.
The "mystical" snipe bird only could be caught at night and they were very fast, I was told. To hunt snipe I was told I needed a coffee sack or, as some of you know it by, "a burlap sack"to hold open to trap the snipe in. Then, I was taught the call needed to encourage a snipe to run in the direction of me with my open coffee sack waiting on the unsuspecting snipe.
The older men in the hunting group, who had all hunted the snipe before, taught me the so-called "mating call". It was part "coo-ing" and part "yak-yak-yaking" we practiced on the evening of my hunt just before dark. I thought it sounded crazy. But what did I know? I had never even seen a snipe before. And these other fellows were what were called "seasoned snipe hunters".
Later after the calling lesson I was given a coffee sack, a wooden stick to beat the brush with, and was taken to a field where the birds were known to frequent. The older men in the group placed me on a "snipe runway" they called it, with my sack open on the ground. The older hunters would drive the field and push or drive the birds towards me and my open sack.
"When you hear 'em coming, get the sack ready. When you feel 'em hit the bottom of the sack, close it off fast before they get out," I was told.
After dark they placed me in a field where I would surely catch a snipe, they told me. "When to start the calling, listen for their little feet pounding the ground as they try to escape," the older men told me as they disappeared into the darkness..
After they left it got really quite. One of the older fellows yelled in the distance, "You need to call louder. The snipe can't hear you." Man, they sounded awfully far off, I thought.
But anyway, I would do as they requested. I called and I called, at first in a low voice and then louder and louder. I beat my stick against the ground. I called some more but still no snipe. I sounded like a sick, dying snipe I thought, but I was determined to catch one.
I couldn't hear the older men any more. Their voices had long faded in the now quiet field. I tried my calling again and once I heard something rustle in the weeds not far from me. "Could that have been a snipe that had slipped by?" I asked myself.
My hunt went on for what seemed like an hour or so and I hadn't heard from any of the other men in quite some time but I continued to call and beat my stick. After another 30 minutes or so I gave up and yelled to the other hunters but no one answered.
On my walk home I kept thinking, "Where did everyone go?" As I made my way down the hill to the house I could hear the older boys laughing as one of them yelled, "Did you catch any snipe?"
"No," I answered, "But I think I heard one run by." Everyone busted out laughing loudly.
"You must have heard a rabbit. There ain't no such thing as a snipe," one of the yelled back.
I found out later that snipe huntin' was nothing more that a wild-goose chase. The hunt had only been a well-played prank. It was an old joke that had been pulled on every young boy in the mountains for many years.
Nobody who was tricked ever got really mad. All they wanted to do was pull the prank on somebody else that would fall for the fictitious hunt.
Later in life I found out that there really was a bird in Kentucky called a snipe. It's a long-billed, long-legged, brown-spotted shorebird usually found around water.
Kentucky actually has a snipe season. Snipe are considered a migratory bird much like doves.
Incidentally, snipe are very difficult to kill even for experienced hunters, so much that the word "sniper" (a term used by the military when referring to a skilled military sharpshooter) is derived from it to refer to anyone skilled enough to shoot one.

I was never bored…a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
If I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times. "I'm bored. There's nothing to do here in Clay County." Today to some that may be true. But when I was a kid, I was never bored.
My days were filled with fun, adventure, and excitement. And the good part about that was, most of it never cost me a dime. When I was growing up and a boy got to the age of 5 or 6 one of his first toys was a homemade slingshot. I remember tagging along with my older brothers to the woods in search of the perfect piece of wood to use for my slingshot handle.
The best tree to look for the perfect "Y" was usually found on a dogwood tree. I looked for one that was big enough to make a strong slingshot but not too big to fit my small hand. Plus, it had to fit into my rear pants pocket because a boy never went anywhere without his trusty slingshot. A good slingshot also needed good balance. It had to be as close to a perfect "Y" as could be found. "Both limbs in the slingshot needed be the same size for a straight shooter," I was told.
After selecting just the right piece of wood the whittling started. The bark was then removed from the arms of the slingshot. Then, two notches were carved into the sides of both arms to hold the "rubbers" that provided the power. The "rubbers" were then cut in strips about 10-12 inches long from an old discarded car inner tube. They were then tied to the arms of the slingshot by stretching the rubber around each and tying them tight with a small piece of wire to secure them to the arms. Next we needed a piece of leather for the "launcher". Usually it came from an old pair of shoes that had been worn past repair. The tongue of the shoe was the preferred piece but there were never enough of them to go around. So any piece of the leather shoe could work in a pinch. Two small slits were then cut into each side of the launcher and laced with the rubbers from the arm, stretched and tied tight, also. That was it. Your slingshot was now ready for ammunition.
To have an accurate shot a round stone or pebble was needed. Sometimes we even shot "pig-iron" balls found along the train tracks. But the best and most accurate projectile to shoot was a glass marble. We never shot many of them though; we needed them for playing the game of marbles. But if one was chipped or cracked, it was prized as something to be used only when absolute accuracy was needed. We carried our ammunition in our pants pocket. But most of our pockets had holes in them. So to keep from losing all the carefully chosen stones, an old Prince Albert tobacco tin worked out perfectly.
We practiced by shooting Carnation cream cans or discarded glass bottles set on a fence post or floating in a pond for targets. But if a bird, frog, rabbit, chipmunk or squirrel came in range, he was quickly the new target. Now I'm not going to tell you that lots of game fell to the slingshot but, I will say that it did happen occasionally. And when it did, the kill was shown to all as a bragging of sorts by the lucky shooter.
On trips to the woods in the fall acorns were sometimes used to shoot at one another. There was and endless supply of them. Teams were chosen and separated on the ridges to be hunted down by their opponents. We would hide behind trees, bushes, or rocks and under leaves in the thick forest floor waiting on our unsuspecting enemy. When a person was hit he sat out until one team "killed" all of the members of the other team. Sometimes we would spend all day in the woods playing the game. It's a wonder that we didn't blind each other with out games of war.
Again, I can honestly say being bored was something I was surely not as a child. There was always something to do and many places to go and they're still out there today. But to find them you have to look for them. Let a kid be a kid. Because I can tell you from experience, they'll grow up faster than you think Take them fishing, hunting, on a walk in the woods or just make them a slingshot. I promise they won't be bored.

When my oldest sister Jackie married Alfred Lee Smith he brought a new pastime to Paw Paw and the Miller family, fightin' roosters. I grew up on a farm where we always had chickens for both their eggs and their meat but I had never thought of having chickens just for fightin'. Boy, did I have a lot to learn.
Al's fightin' chickens weren't like your normal every day farm chickens. His birds were a breed of game chickens that were raised for one thing only, fightin' and killin' other roosters in a cockfight. And if you don't know already, here are a few things about cockfighting and gamecocks you might find interesting.
Gamecocks possess congenital aggression toward all males of the same species. The chickens are given the best of care until they reach a fightin' age. Their comb and wattle are cut off to keep the other roosters from getting a hold on their heads while in a cockfight.
A cockfight is a blood sport between two roosters (cocks), held in a ring called a cockpit. Roosters are conditioned for increased stamina and strength. The conditioning process (sometimes referred to as a "keep") is designed to, among other things, tame the cock so that he can be handled during a fight. The primary purpose of a keep is to ensure that the bird is physically and mentally fit for its upcoming match, similar to the conditioning a boxer or wrestler goes through. He even fed his roosters a special high energy diet and gave them a daily physical exercise.
Bets were often made on the outcome of the fights. Most of the fights were to the death or until the cocks endured significant physical trauma and the fight had to be stopped.
Al had high dollar chickens with fancy names. He had breeds called Hatch, Kelso, Roundheads, and Greys. His birds, when they fought for money, were equipped with either metal spurs (called gaffs) or knives, tied to the leg in the area where the bird's natural spur has been partially removed.
We couldn't afford the fancy spurs (that often cost $100 dollars or more) so we fashioned ours from a coat-hanger wire and sewed them to the leather tongue of an old shoe. Sometimes we fought with the homemade spurs and they worked pretty good but they bent pretty easily. Most times we just sparred roosters with bare heels.
One day Al decided to turn one of his most prized roosters out bare heeled to strut the chicken lot and show our roosters just who was the boss. That was a big mistake. It didn't take long for our biggest domer-necker to challenge the newcomer.
Al's bird with his spurs trimmed to a nubbin' was like a fighter without a weapon. Our domer-necker roosters, on the other hand, had two-three inches of hard, sharp natural spurs. Plus, it didn't hurt that our domer-necker had about 3 pounds on his lean-mean fightin' machine.
Al's roosters could have probably killed our chickens if they had been outfitted with the spurs but without them our domer-neckers clearly had the upper hand.
Al found out our old farm raised chickens were a lot tougher than he gave them credit for. Our roosters weren't about to tuck tail and run when the "new" cock came courting the hens.
The two warriors carefully studied one another with their neck feathers flared. Then, in and instance, they met in mid air and feathers flew as the large spurs of the domer-necker found their mark time and time again. What Al thought would be an easy victory for the gamecock turned into a mauling by the domer-necker.
After three or four more shuffles by our big rooster, Al's gamecock tucked tail and run. I laughed and told him, "I think your bird has just chicken'd out!"
Al was mad, to say the least. So mad that he went to our house and got a high-powered rifle and made his way to the chicken lot. I thought he was going to kill his rooster for running scared but instead his sights turned on the champion domer-necker.
Ka-Boom! The gun went off. Feathers flew out of the opposite side of our big rooster like a shot into a feather pillow. He barely moved from where he stood. The victor was dead in an instant.
No one knew what to say. We all were kind of stunned. I was thinking, "He shouldn't have to killed our rooster. He should have shot his chicken."
Al learned several valuable lessons that day.
First of all: Size does matter. His gamecock was just too small to challenge the big domer-necker.
Second: If you're a chicken, you never fight without your spurs on.
Third: A dominant rooster will fight like crazy when hens go to the winner.
And last: Never fire a shot off around a scared rooster. I think his 'chicken' never stopped running. Someone said they seen him a couple days later near Slate City. Said he was headed towards Mexico.

In my early years a neighbor of ours, Neva and Thee Riley, had a talking bird. His name was Joe Joe and he was a myna 'minor' bird. Joe Joe wasn't your normal talking bird. He was more like a person because of his extensive vocabulary.
Back then, I had never seen a talking bird before. And if I hadn't seen and heard him talking like a human, I would never have believed any story about a bird that could actually carry on a conversation the way Joe Joe did.
Neva and Thee lived across the dirt road from Mam Maw and Pap Paw Miller. Momma and Neva were friends even though Neva was quite a few years older than her. Neva was a kind and giving person and Momma loved to visit with her.
Neva's sister had given Joe Joe to them I think just for companionship. And Momma, well every time she came back from visiting her was telling us about this amazing talking bird that Neva had gotten. The story was almost unbelievable. We begged and begged until finally Momma gave in and took us to see for ourselves Joe Joe, the talking bird.
The first time I saw Joe Joe he was in a birdcage on Neva's front porch. As I walked up the steps Joe Joe let out a deafening "wolf-whistle" and said "Pretty girl".
I told Momma, "That bird is crazy! I'm not a girl!"
Momma laughed and said, "He wasn't talking to you. He was talking to me!" We both laughed as we made our way onto the porch.
Joe Joe quickly said, "My name is Joe Joe. What's yours?"
I looked at Momma with my eyes and mouth wide open. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I then asked Momma, "Is he talking to me or you?"
I turned to the little bird swinging on the perch and said, "My name is Rodney."
Joe Joe never missed a beat. He quickly answered and said, "Hello, my name is Joe Joe."
As we sat down I was amazed with the little bird. It wasn't long before the bird let out a sound just like the screaming of tires as if someone was burning tires on the road.
I asked, "What was that?"
The bird let out a little laugh and said, "That's James Miller, James Miller".
I guess he had heard a hundred times my Uncle James in his new Midnight Blue, 1965 Impala SS-396 taking off wildly as he left the driveway burning rubber. And I guess Neva or Thee must have said a hundred times as James left spinning the tires, "That's James Miller!"
We would sit awhile and Joe Joe would say something else. Once I remember he let out a sound that sounded exactly like the ringing of an old telephone. The he said, "Hello! Yes, Yes, I know", pausing between everything he said. Then he finished off his conversation, "Well I think, he will probably go to jail." I'm sure he was repeating something Thee or Neva had said on the telephone at one time or another about Uncle James.
Sometimes Joe Joe would let out a cough that he picked-up from Thee. Neva said every morning, just after Thee got up, he coughed over and over and Joe Joe had learned how to make the coughing sound. He had it down pat. I'll swear he sounded just like an old man coughing.
Joe Joe even sang "Old MacDonald" pretty good, especially the. "E, I, E, I, O part. He would sit on his little perch, bobbing his head up and down, whistling at everyone and coughing like he had lung cancer in between his conversation with us. He was the smartest bird in the world, I thought. I left the Riley home a big fan of Joe Joe.
Several months later Neva told Momma she wanted to sell Joe Joe. She told us her nephew had been visiting for an extended time and had the bird cussing like a sailor. Neva said, "Nedda (that was what a lot of people called Momma, short for Juanita), I can't begin to tell you the words he has taught Joe Joe. People can't even come to visit because of his black-yarding (which meant cussing)."
She told Momma that she would take $300 dollars for Joe Joe if she wanted him. But $300 dollars was like asking a million dollars to us. We just couldn't afford the bird. I begged and begged but the price was way out of our range.
I think Neva sold Joe Joe to a friend of hers from Florida. And if my memory is correct, the woman gave her $600 dollars for him. I don't remember what happened to Joe Joe after that. But I'll bet he was in sunny Florida entertaining folks just the way he did on Paw Paw, stealing their hearts the way he did ours.

Meditation is becoming a popular way to relax our overworked minds. It involves focusing continuously on one thought, word (mantra), object, or mental image for a period of time. It can also involve focusing on your breathing or on sensations in your body. The goal of meditation is to quiet your mind, which may reduce stress and the connection it has to long-term diseases like heart disease.
Meditation is thought to suppress the part of the nervous system that increases heart rate, breathing rate, or blood pressure while enhancing the relaxing side of the nervous system.
There are many types of meditation, but here is some basic information that to help you get started.
Meditation is believed to help you achieve calmness, relaxation and psychological balance. These changes accompany deep relaxation and may include:

Classic looking
I love this top, great for work. Very comfortable and classic looking.
Queens, NY
Pretty Cute
This top is cute, comfortable, and a bit stretchy; and does fit as the photos show. Do know, however, that the lining portion of the shirt is not flush with the outer/lace portion of the shirt, so you get the look of the lace hanging past the "color" of the shirt making it significantly less tailored than the photos indicate. I ordered the ivory color, and it is substantial enough not to be see-through.

A few weeks ago, the London chapter participated in Clerkenwell Design Week, a yearly design and architecture festival that takes place in the heart of London's design district. Last year, AFH London exhibited a "Love Hut", where people could post their love notes to London - this year, they challenged themselves to showcase their work and illustrate the mission of Architecture for Humanity. Four huts embodied these aims, each with a separate theme demonstrating the spirit and ethos of the organization.
The London Chapter put together a video showing the design and construction process of the huts (a huge success at the the festival!). Check it out:

How do you change the world? Just go ahead and change it.
And according to Eric Cesal, director of our Disaster and Resilience Studio, it's basically that simple.
In his recent TED Talk at Piscataqua River, Eric spoke about the power and potential of design - and how the world may not view it as valuable.
Last Wednesday, June 12, Eric took HQ's questions following the lecture, discussing why (in the context of Haiti) AFH made the choice to support long term solutions over the immediate fix - and what that means. Only three years after the Haiti earthquake, one of the "tent cities" set up to house refugees has become Haiti's tenth largest city.
Eric urges us to remember that the most sustainable and resilient rebuilding options are the ones that add to a global economy, as well as addressing the needs of the users- even if they do take a little longer to set up.
