By Zoe Sobel, FOX 32 News intern
The Chicago Zoological Society, in collaboration with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, is initiating a breeding and release program to increase the local wild population of the endangered Blanding's Turtle. The initiative includes an outdoor Blanding's turtle habitat at the zoo's Dragonfly Marsh exhibit.
The Blanding's Turtle--which are endangered in Illinois and threatened nationally--can live to be more than 80 years old, but they do not reach sexual maturity until 13 to 15 years. Due to this slow maturation, changing water levels, and natural predators - such as raccoons and herons - the turtles have just a two percent chance of reaching maturity.
Dan Thompson, an ecologist for the Forest Preserve District of DuPage Country, is excited to work with the Brookfield Zoo towards ensuring the survival of Blanding's Turtles. He said, "local wetlands, and the plant and animal ecosystem within them, improve our water quality and our understanding of the world around us."
The predator-proof Dragonfly Marsh exhibit will house Blanding's turtles until they are ready for release. Typically, turtles that are raised in captivity have a lower than average rate of survival. The Brookfield Zoo has taken steps to prepare the turtles for the wild. Some of their efforts include: keeping the turtles outdoors year round so they can experience normal seasonal cycles; furnishing the turtle's habitat with native plants and logs; and making the turtles forage for their own food.
This fall, 12 turtles will be released into the DuPage County Forest Preserve in an attempt to increase the wild population. The Brookfield zoo plans to have additional turtle releases with turtles bred at the zoo.
The zoo has constructed an off-exhibit breeding space which will be able to hold 30-40 female turtles. It is possible that these female could produce 250-300 hatchlings each year.
Male and female turtles will be placed together in smaller separate pods. Once the female has laid her eggs, the Chicago Zoological Society staff will collect the eggs and put them in temperature controlled incubators. A hatchling's sex is determined by the temperature at which it is incubated. Eggs incubated at a higher temperature yield males while lower incubation temperatures yield females. Therefore the zoo will be able to ensure that there are equal amounts of male and female turtles.
"Our mission is to support the continued survival of the Blanding's turtle in the Chicagoland area," said Bill Zeigler, the senior vice president of collections and animal care for CSZ. He also is a member of the board of directors for the Turtle Survival Alliance, an organization that works to protect turtles worldwide. "Fostering a sustainable population is an important step to increase the Blanding's turtle population locally and allow this species to not only survive but, hopefully, begin to thrive."

It's been almost five years since I lost Jo-Jo, a 13 year old Golden Retriever that was the finest dog I've ever known. She wore a fixed smile, the corners of her mouth always upturned. Her eyes glowed with anticipation of being with you or ready to get down to serious outside work. She was truly a friend and I still miss her.
With the loss, many have asked me if I'm ever getting another dog. It's tempting. Really, how can you not look at a pile of puppies and not want to take one home. I miss walking a dog to the tune of at least 30 additional pounds, which was enhanced by quitting smoking, but that's another blog altogether.
Here's why I won't get another dog. They're too much work. I'm 57 and I don't want to pick up poo anymore from frozen January tundra or soggy May melting. I don't want to wipe feet any more after downpours. I don't want to struggle to bath the critter. I don't miss vet bills or dragging fifty pounds of dog food around the grocery store. I want to spend more time out of town and finding reliable boarding can be difficult and expensive. I don't want to outlive another dog and deal with the crushing loss.
Dogs are the greatest. Their love is unconditional. I miss that. But my days of giving a furry friend a forever home are over.

Oh my word...you have an amazing story and powerful testimony !! I'm so incredibly happy for you *happy tears*!!!
Congratulations !!!!
Oh my word...you have an amazing story and powerful testimony !! I'm so incredibly happy for you *happy tears*!!!
Congratulations !!!!
Kelly I usually do opk test around 9 or 10am and if its getting real close to O then I test again around 4 or 5pm.
Congrats wanababy! That is wonderful news!!!!!!
So incredibly happy for you wanababy!!! Wow!!!!!
Mel (39) DH (37) Finally, a baby boy after 12 months of TTC!
April 2013 http://www.saferpills.org/
Congrats wannababy! I am so happy for you!
I'm on cd9 and really really hoping I o early...getting anxious already but I probably have a little less than 2wks to go still. Boo for 35 day cycles
My opk/hpt combo pack from Amazon shipped yesterday ! Although, it says to expect it Wed the 20th (cd14) and I had wanted to start opks on Monday. I think I'll pick some up from the store today when I go shopping just in case I do o early .
I ended up discarding that one really low oral temp on my chart and it looks a lot more normal now, LOL! I'm excited to see if I eventually get crosshairs...I've never done temps before so this is all new for me . I'm not sure how accurate it will be since I do have to do some moving around to get my bbt because of co-sleeping. We shall see!
Anyone have big weekend plans? I'm in the mood for spring cleaning so I think I may do some purging
Thanks for all the congrats. I'm so excited and actually a bit nervous b/c we spent so much time figuring out ttc and now my brain has to switch to figuring out pregnancy and birthing plans. I'm glad that I could announce our great news here b/c we're waiting to tell our family and friends for at least a few more weeks. Thanks, again, and I pray that you are all abundantly blessed. Keep praying, trusting and hoping. God is good.

Well technically I am on CD12 nowthat it is after midnight. We DTD on thursday night and tried tofriday but DF wasnt able to stay hard :-( this has happened the last three times we have had sex and i dont know what to do :-( sigh. This sucks.
Hopefully some swimmers are getting through because of pre-c . Do you think skipping tonight and doing every other would help? Do you have ewcm yet?
Thinking of you (((hugs)))!! that it happens for you soon! It's definitely not to late!
Oh...if he's stressed, maybe a glass of wine or a beer first would help??...what do you think?
Sorry he is having issues, he may need the spark put back into it. I know DH gets feeling pressured sometimes and can't 'focus' on his job at hand but he says its because he can't focus, all he is thinking is 'she needs me to do this' 'I gotta do this or she will be upset'. He says it looses it's appeal so I usually have to relight the fire once in a while, get a little nighty, put music on, nothing fancy just to remind him of dirty, sexy sex Not baby making. Not sure what your comfort levels are with DTD but go to the point that he can forget what his 'job' is.

Kelly, HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO DO PARAGRAPHS?! Gah! I am SO frustrated that I can't! I'm not sure what's going on with him but he is thinking it may be the small dose of Adderall he was prescribed for his ADHD He is going to stop taking it on the weekends and we're going to try tonight and tomorrow! Cross your fingers for us. I did have EWCM when we DTD on Thursday, I always have it for 4 days before O. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ....................Let's see if this works for a new paragraph! Rachel, I love the pics I really hope we can edit our signatures again SOON. This is so annoying!
LOL! I didn't realize other ppl couldn't type in paragraphs...I'm just pushing enter twice and it's letting me space it that way
Could definitely be the adderall! Tell him to drink, drink, drink to flush it out of his system... that it helps!!! My cousin's dh had a terrible time when they maxed him out on zoloft for depression. I like Cait's suggestions too...make it dirty fun !
Rachel...oh my word I LOVE the new pics of your sweeties...SO precious !!! LOL, and the spaghetti stuck to Olivia's forehead is hysterical !!!
Another failed attempt. I'm in tears. This sucks. He didn't take any Adderall today either. I don't know what else to do but am pretty sure I'm out this month.
oh Karen I'm so sorry keep trying maybe?
I'm so sorry Karen ! Praying tonight is successful !!
Thinking of you...this has got to be so frustrating for both of you .
I'm still holding onto hope for you this month !!
(((Big hugs)))!
Looks like I O'd early, yesterday or the day before according to my temps. Maybe the one time it did work on Valentine's Day will do the trick but I really don't have any hope it did.
I have everything crossed for you Karen!!
Thanks Amber I know it only takes one sperm, I just wish we had some better timing And I wish this wasn't happening, honestly more for DF's sake than mine. I know how upset he is about it.
Reeeeally hoping and praying the V-day lovin' will have done it for you !!!
This is crazy...ff gave me cross hairs already...said I o-ed on the 15th (cd 9) but I think my weekend temps were inaccurate because I took it later and did some moving around before I temped (co-sleeping with my youngest and bfing). My chart still looks ridiculous ...I think it's just not going to be a good indicator for me since I move too much before taking my temp. And I sleep with a heating pad on my legs/feet will that skew my temps? I'm still going to keep at it though. Will ff readjust if I have more obvious o signs/temps later?
I'm pretty sure I didn't o...I do feel like I'm going to o before my usual cd21 since I have right-sided ovary pain and had watery cm yesterday but usually I have *a lot* of ewcm several days before. I'm on cd 12 right now. LOL, and of course my opks haven't arrived yet ! I'm supposed to get them Wed (didn't realize they'd get here so late when I ordered them ). If I miss my lh surge at least I'll have the hpts .
Although, I did get a darkish opk (my last one) on the 16th...it was a bfn but I was surprised it was so dark (cd 10).
And for whatever reason my ta-tas are *so* sore! I'm bfing and it's extremely unusual for me to be sore...what's up with that?? I took my last hpt on the 13th (14-17dpo and we didn't BD from Jan 27th until Feb 12th) and it was definitely a bfn so I'm 99.9% I'm not pg.
LOL, I'm more confused than ever ! Wish those opk/hpts would just hurry up and get here !!
Hmm maybe you did o early? Ff usually adjusts it for me if thy were wrong, but sometimes I need I throw out the off-time temps 1st. Have you tested again wih a hpt just to be sure? Those sound like te symptoms I was having when I got my bfp (before the mc)
Eta...Liz, I'm going to do another hpt when they get here, hopefully tomorrow or Wed. I'm expecting bfn but will test just to be sure. It's possible I o-ed early and missed the ewcm because of BD cm/semen...not sure but looking forward to getting those opks...is it Wed yet ??

GL Kelly!!! I hope you get a bfp!
And rachoochoo- if it make you feel better I am on cd29 and I have yet to o too! I hope you o soon, waiting to o is the worst!
Hi everybody! I've been MIA for a couple weeks due to work but wanted to say hello again!
I also wanted to tell you that with my third baby, I wasn't on BC and we were (stupidly) just relying on pull out method. Which hubs was always, always, always careful about. After three months I was pregnant. I'm convinced it was the pre-c, like Kelly mentioned. So don't lose hope, you never know what can happen.
Hope everyone is well! I think I should have more time to be active on this board again now after my little hiatus

Recent years have witnessed growing attention to the needs of rural victims and survivors of sexual violence. Rural providers of intervention and prevention services, researchers and policymakers increasingly see the sociocultural, economic and service structure characteristics of rural areas as unique. These characteristics have significant impact on service development and delivery related to sexual violence.
The following collection of resources provides a grounding for the most relevant information available online about and for rural communities as they build more effective responses to sexual violence.
Defining 'Rural'
Sexual violence in rural communities
Outreach and Education
Advocacy and Intervention
Specific Populations
Defining 'Rural'
One aspect of the challenges faced by rural communities in responding to sexual violence is the issue of what 'rural' means. There are pragmatic issues at stake, including that many Federal and state agencies require a rural community to prove that it is rural in order to receive certain kinds of support. These definitions vary from agency to agency.
The Rural Assistance Center is a site funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human services to serve as an information gateway to health and human services in rural areas. Two topic links of special interest found on the main page are: "What is Rural?" and "Grantwriting".
The "What is Rural?" page includes an excellent discussion of 'rural' definitions and provides links to sites that assist with determining whether or not a community meets the definition of 'rural' for a variety of Federal agencies. The "Grantwriting" page contains links to Federal and other sources of funding as well as to technical assistance articles on how to write grants.
Rural America at a Glance – 2012 by the USDA Economic Research Service (2012).

The briefing also includes a survey that explores some of the factors that impact sexual violence response services in rural areas. Many of the characteristics and qualities observed and applicable and useful in the United States.
Rural Womyn Zone
This grassroots website for rural women addresses many issues, including sexual violence. The site includes blogs, articles and studies.
Sexual Assault in Rural Communities by Susan Lewis with contributions from Ellen Reed (2003).

Separation/Divorce Sexual Assault in Ohio: Survivors' Perceptions of Collective Efficacy by Walter DeKeseredy (2005).
This research by Walter DeKeseredy and his colleagues in Ohio examines the incidents of and issues surrounding the sexual assault of women in rural areas during separation and/or divorce . The paper concludes by finding that many women were sexually assaulted at various points in the separation process: 53% being sexually assaulted when they wanted to leave, 32% while they were leaving, and 37% after they had left. A strength of this paper is that the women's voices are included in extended quotes.

Windshield Snow Cover-Car 14 14
CHEAP Not that I was expecting a canvas, but I also was not expecting a paper thin cover.......I guess I should have known better, for the price I got exactly what I paid for.........A dollar does NOT go very far these days. I would have been better off going to the dollar store, and spend a dollar and get the same thing. I absolutely would NOT recommend this product December 4, 2013
Nice if the wind never blew The design of this was pretty good. It could use more magnets especially in the front on the bottom, and the magnets should be way stronger. The fit was pretty good, but this item did not stretch across the bottom of the winddshield. I did buy this for my parents older car, so I took that into consideration. The flaps that are designed to go inside the car doors are a good idea. However.........it was a windy day when I installed it, so I struggled to get it in place, going from one side of the car to the other. But I got it eventually. It continued to be stormy the next few days, and the wind lifted all the magnets and the thing was flapping in the wind like a kite when I arrived. The flaps in the car held, but the fabric ripped. November 21, 2013
Windshield Snow Cover--SUV The windshield cover was a disappointment. The material is very light and does not stand up to wind. The magnets are at risk of damaging paint in windy conditions until there is enough weight to hold it down. Result is that it can't be used if it is snowing and windy. Now add to this I would be charged shipping for my return of a clearly inferior product. I will not order from Improvements again. The order took forever to arrive. Oddly it was shipped UPS, but then entered into the US Postal System at a nearby town and that significantly slowed delivery. Very puzzling that shipping would not be all UPS, but was UPS and USPS February 20, 2013
Ice forms underneath I've used the cover twice. It is light and easy to put onto the car. Unfortunately, both times I used it, ice had formed underneath the cover, looking more like frozen condensation than precipitation. I had to heat the windshield and scrape, which is what I was hoping to avoid. February 12, 2013
No more waiting for the windshield to thaw! My new house does not have a garage so vehicles left out side. When it snows or sleets, have to go out and scrap or wait for the defrost to melt windshield ice. This cover was easy to install and remove. Not too expensive or complicated. January 29, 2013
My wife loves it... She used it this morning with snow & rain predicted all day. She loves it- easy to put on and easy to take off. January 28, 2013
Others so impressed, both covers have been stolen I often work late and return to a car sitting in a dark, deserted parking lot --with a heavily frosted windshield. I thought these covers would be a good alternative to being a sitting duck for muggers while either scraping the windshield or sitting in the car trying to defrost windshield. Worked well, I could put on easily, quickly by myself in a couple of minutes in morning. Grabbing cover and dragging it off to remove was even faster and did not damage windshield or car finish. Even stayed in place when weather turned unexpectedly windy ( Magnets are NOT strong enough to withstand high wind conditions). Others were so impressed with product that both of my covers have stolen!!! Great if you are going to use in your own driveway, but no way to prevent theft. I'm thinking of buying one more and adding strap that would close in the door to prevent theft. But that would increase difficulty of putting cover on. January 26, 2013
oops!!!! We've recently had several small bursts of snow and each time the windshield cover has frozen to the windshield even though several of the snows have been just a light dusting and not a wet heavy snow. January 23, 2013
Stayed in place for over 2 weeks It did keep the snow off very well. The cover was on my parked car for 2 weeks while I flew off on vacation. About a foot of snow fell on the car several days after I left town. So there was ice and snow on the cover when I returned. Windshield was protected but after clearing the snow I found a rip in the cover. I don't know if it was because of the length of time the cover had the snow on it or if the fabric rips easily. This was the first time I used the cover. But I liked the product. Improvements Company is replacing the cover for free and I am willing to try it again because it worked well. It stays put where you place it and protects the wipers which is great. January 8, 2013
A waste of money Very flimsy material. Difficult to attach if there is any wind. Needs stronger magnets. Not worth the money. December 24, 2012

These coins' designs display large, dramatic artwork and edge-incused inscriptions of the year, E PLURIBUS UNUM and the mint mark. Each coin features a likeness of Coolidge on the obverse and has a common reverse (tails) design featuring a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty.
The design inscriptions on the obverse of the 2014 Calvin Coolidge Presidential $1 Coin are:

John Calvin Coolidge was born in Plymouth, Vermont, on July 4, 1872. He graduated from Amherst College with honors, entering the legal profession in Northampton, Massachusetts. He built an illustrious political career prior to becoming President upon the death of President Warren G. Harding in 1923. Coolidge was a city council member and mayor of Northampton; a Massachusetts state legislator, lieutenant governor, and governor; and vice president. His presidency is most notable for its economic prosperity and optimism—the "Roaring Twenties." Coolidge chose not to seek re-election in 1928 and died in 1933.Please Note: United States Mint coins are rolled by an automated machine process and not by hand. We cannot guarantee that the obverse or reverse of a coin will be at either end of a coin roll.
In 2005, President Bush signed the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 authorizing the United States Mint to strike $1 coins honoring Americas Presidents in the order in which they served. This coin, the 30th in the Presidential $1 Coin Program, honors President Calvin Coolidge.

Alternative Medicine Cabinet: Happy, Healthy Feet
By Nicole Duncan
Sure your monthly pedicure makes you feel better about your embarrassing foot problem, but let's be honest—your pretty red and pink toenails aren't doing anything to disguise those bunions, warts, or foot fungi. But before you resort to cortisone shots, ice freezes, or surgeries, learn how you can heal your menacing foot problems naturally.
Women have long sacrificed comfort for fashion, so it's no surprise that teetering in 3-inch heels has made women 10 times more likely to have painful bunions than men. Heredity can make you more susceptible, but "any kind of pressure on the side of your foot or on your toes can lead to bunions," says Kathy Thorpe, a Boulder, Colorado, homeopath. This pressure causes inflammation around your big toe joint, which creates a bony bump (or arthritic deposit). Over time this bump pushes your big toe inward, making it crooked. "Most women don't understand that their feet get bigger and wider as they age. It's normal for them to go up one foot size or more," she says. Wearing shoes that are too narrow, short, or high can inflame the joint and eventually lead to bunions. For serious cases, Western doctors recommend an injection of cortisone to ease the pain. Anti-inflammatory analgesics like aspirin or ibuprofen get the call for less painful bunions. But these solutions don't fix the deformity—they merely treat the symptom.
Try: Homeopathic silica. Treating your bunions internally with silica will reduce inflammation in your big toe by restoring your body's balance, or qi, says Thorpe. Take 6c two times a day for two to three weeks—one week on, one week off.
Homeopathic nitric acid. Dissolve arthritic deposits by taking 6c twice a day for two weeks.
Chamomile. After drinking a cup of chamomile tea, place the tea bag on the bunion as a kind of anti-inflammatory poultice.
Plantar warts
This variety of the human papillomavirus (HPV) appears as a tough, thick patch of speckled black skin and can make you feel as though you've got a sharp pebble in your shoe as you walk. Resist the urge to pick at the wart—it will spread and become even more painful. Most doctors use cryotherapy (freezing), electrosurgery, or laser surgery to remove plantar warts, but because these methods leave the virus untouched, they're just a temporary fix. "If you just deal with warts topically, they will come back," says Thorpe. "Don't just remove the symptom—remove the problem."
Try: Homeopathic thuja. Take 12c two times a day for four to six weeks (one week on, one week off). "Thuja is great for all warts, but I've seen it cure plantars," says Thorpe. "It gets at the underlying imbalance causing the wart and restores your body's equilibrium to kill the virus."
Crushed garlic. Slam a clove of garlic, and keep the pieces wrapped around your wart for two to three days. .

The Ramsar Bulletin Board, 3 January 1998
Kyoto Meeting, opportunity for Ramsar. Ramsar's Special Consultant, Dr Ken Lum, reports from Kyoto that the new climate change protocol presents Ramsar with new opportunities to influence global policy. See Ken's report here. [23/12/97]
Wetland Action - Asia: "Towards 2002: Action on the Ramsar Strategic Plan". After two postponements, the dates of the Ramsar Meeting, hosted by the Malaysian government, are confirmed for 16-20 February 1998. The meeting aims to review implementation of the Ramsar Strategic Plan 1997-2002 in Asia and contribute to development of a regional implementation plan for the region. In addition, one day will be devoted to thematic workshops on: Water & Wetlands and Donor Policy & Practice for Wetlands. Participants are expected to include representatives of Contracting Parties and non-Contracting Parties, development assistance agencies, research organisations, related environmental conventions and the private sector. [16/12/97]
Southeast Asia - progress towards accession of new Parties. The Thai cabinet last month approved accession to the Ramsar treaty and proposed the Thale Noi Non-hunting Area as the nation's first Ramsar site, for which a management plan is presently being prepared; the accession of Thailand is considered to be well advanced. During Rebecca D'Cruz's visit to the region last month, it transpired, however, that the legal documentation for Cambodia's accession, and Ramsar Information Sheets for its three proposed sites, have gone missing during political disturbances of July 1997 and are being prepared anew. [16/12/97]
Ramsar Small Grants Fund (SGF) -- Call for 1998 proposals. At the end of November the secretariat sent a diplomatic note, with copy to all of the Ramsar Administrative Authorities and contacts in the potential recipient countries, calling for the submission of proposals for SGF funding in 1998. In the note it was made clear that, since the funds available in 1998 will probably not be more substantial than in 1997, Contracting Parties should note that it is unlikely that they will successfully gain funding approval for more than one project each. Thus, the Bureau recommends that a pre-selection be made by the Administrative Authorities and that only the top priority project be submitted for consideration.
The deadline for submission of proposals is 31 March 1998. The SGF Operational Guidelines and Request for Funding forms, in English, French, and Spanish, are available on this Web site in the Key Documents section, as are descriptions of projects that have been funded over the past seven years of the Fund's existence. [3/12/97]
Bahrain becomes the 105th Contracting Party. The Ramsar Bureau is pleased to announce that Bahrain has deposited its instrument of accession with UNESCO as of 27 October 1997, so that the treaty will come into force for Bahrain on 27 February 1998. Bahraini authorities submitted to UNESCO maps indicating boundaries for two designations for the List of Wetlands of International Importance, wetlands known as "The Huwar Islands" and "The Gulf of Tubli", but for the moment we have no other information about them. The accession of Bahrain is particularly welcome because the Convention is presently less well represented in the Middle East than in many other regions. [25/11/97]
Completed data on 35 Russian Ramsar sites. The Bureau is delighted to announce that the Permanent Mission in Geneva of the Russian Federation this morning handed over completed Ramsar Information Sheets (in English) and maps for the 35 Russian Wetlands of International Importance in Russia, as designated by Government Decree in 1994. The data and maps were accompanied by a letter from the Deputy Chairman of the Ramsar Administrative Authority, the State Committee of the Russian Federation on Environmental Protection, Mr Amirkhan Amirkhanov.
This is excellent news, representing a substantial step forward for the Convention at national, regional and global scales (and adding some 4 million more hectares to the Convention's coverage). It makes a particularly significant contribution to fulfillment of Brisbane Resolution VI.13 on site data.
Congratulations and thanks are due to the State Committee, to the Research Institute of the Russian Federation on Nature Conservation (responsible for collection and compilation of the original Russian language version of the data), to the staff of Wetlands International in Wageningen and Moscow (especially the Moscow staff who undertook the heavy burden of translation into English, including working in their personal time), and to the Governments of the Netherlands and the USA which have been important financial supporters of the joint effort required to reach this goal. [20/11/97]
Jamaica is the Convention's 104th Party. The Ramsar Bureau has been informed by UNESCO that on 7 October 1997 Jamaica completed the formalities necessary for its accession to Ramsar as its 104th Contracting Party, which means that the Convention will enter into force for Jamaica on 7 February 1998.
The "Black River Lower Morass" wetland has been designated by Jamaica for inclusion in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. The largest freshwater wetland ecosystem in Jamaica, it is located in the St. Elizabeth parish of southwestern Jamaica (18 degrees 4 min. N, 77 degrees 48 min. W) and has an area of approximately 5,700 hectares. The Black River Lower Morass is a complex of shallow brackish lagoons, limestone islands, tidal marshes, mudflats and mangroves near the coast, and extensive freshwater marshes with peat formations. It is owned by the Government of Jamaica and the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica.
Jamaica is welcomed as the third Ramsar Contracting Party in the Caribbean region, after Trinidad and Tobago and the Bahamas, and the Convention is making special efforts to attract more Caribbean states to the Ramsar family before the 7th Conference of the Parties in May 1999. [18/11/97]
Wetlands for the Future / Humedales para el Futuro -- new call for proposals. Wetlands for the Future is an initiative for training and capacity-building on conservation of wetlands in the Neotropical Region, sponsored by the Ramsar Convention, the United States State Department, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Following its first very successful three-year period, during which some US$ 750,000 were allocated for a wide range of projects, a new Memorandum of Understanding has been signed which continues the initiative for another three-year term. The call for proposals is reproduced here in English and Spanish. [18/11/97]

Prey 2 Details, Concept Art EmergeBy Nick Breckon, Mar 15, 2008 12:37pm PDT The follow-up to Human Head's first person shooter Prey has been officially confirmed to be in development via a now-removed website for the new middleman company Radar Group.
Though few details were revealed, a small piece of concept art (pictured left) was posted, in addition to a short sentence of plot detail. Following our initial report, the bulk of the website was taken offline.
"This time, abandoned and framed for the disappearance of his family, Tommy escapes an Earth that no longer wants him for a future that cannot survive without him," reads the description.
While 3D Realms' Scott Miller made mention of a sequel following the original game's release, today marks the first update on the project in nearly two years.
Prey 2 was listed for release on PC and Xbox 360, but no other specifics have been released thus far, including whether Human Head will reprise its role as developer. The studio currently has no known projects.

I'm confused. At the end of Prey, Tommy was peacefully rebuilding the bar that the aliens made go kablooey; that kind of implied that things were all good and well once things settled down. It seems kind of silly for him to be framed for it. :(Mar 15, 2008 6:25pm PDT"This time, abandonded and framed for the disappearance of his family, Tommy escapes an Earth that no lon : mittense

By: m0rb x Show Full PostI'm all about this. Fuckin naysayers.
I was excited to play Prey when it was first announced. Remember the KMFDM soundtrack? The original lava screenshots? I was sad to see it die on the vine, and overjoyed when the IP was picked up and finished.
It was a fun game to play. Sure, it was a little crass, sure, it played on some stereotypes, but honestly if you were seriously offended by anything in Prey you need to be out picketing major movie studios. I'm sure you'll be throwing money at the strippers in DNF, whenever it's released. :)
Prey did some awesome things with perspective and environmental scaling. Textures and sounds were great, the Art Bell stuff was funny, and I thought Human Head did an excellent job taking on someone else's ideas and bringing them to fruition. I also enjoyed the spirit walking quite a bit.
Then again, I love arcade-esque sci-fi/fantasy shooters and can't stand COD4, so to each their own.
Specifically addressing posters ... agreed, the 360 is starting to get a little dated, I'm curious to see if they can push the envelope again graphically. Also, would you people PLEASE stop bitching about FPSs being FPSs? If you don't want to play a shooter, don't play a shooter, but don't get pissed at a game for being the genre that it is.Mar 16, 2008 12:47pm PDTI'm all about this. Fuckin naysayers.

By: tcs x Show Full PostUgh, the world so doesn't need that.
Prey was an OK game (finished it in one sitting with a buddy), but in a genre as overcrowded as the FPS one it feels like a waste of resources. The story, setting, characters, writing voice acting were horrible. The gameplay was the usual FPS-with-a-gimmick game we've seen a million times before. It's an FPS where you can slow down time! It's an FPS with portals! It's an FPS where the main character wields a magic guitar! Wheee! Just because you add one twist doesn't mean you should just remake the same dark corridor monster shooter again.
I'd really hope that our industry could do better than this. Why do we have to make a hundred Preys for every Deus Ex, Portal or Metal Gear?Mar 16, 2008 4:55am PDTUgh, the world so doesn't need that. Prey was an OK game (finished it in one sitting with a buddy), bu... : tcs

Instead of promising the world and delivering something simplistic, generic and ugly, it promised simplicity with new gameplay conventions, and delivered a completely unexpected truly awesome setting.

By: evildanish x Show Full PostI always feel like an intellectual snob when Prey gets brought up on the Shack, because everyone seems to love it, and I thought it was completely crap.
The voice acting was bad, the writing was dreadful, and the exposition - oh my god, the exposition - was so fucking horrible that I wanted stab myself to death with a rusty spoon. That bar scene in the beginning of the game, it was so bad that it was physically painful. All the stereotypical indian bullshit that the grandfather character was spewing felt like an insult to my intelligence.
Or that time when the main character says, "this is fucked up". No, it's not fucked up, it's completely bland and unoriginal and derivative - it was fucked up when Quake 2 did the exact same thing ten fucking years ago but with much better execution. This crap is barely even par for the course.

By: uglysad x Show Full PostPrey was fun but I thought it lacked from a story telling point of view.
1) I read somewhere that they were basing it off of "authentic Native American lore" but I don't recall any Indian stories about A car mechanic named Tommy rescuing his girlfriend from aliens.
2) I didn't feel a thing when The old guy or the girlfriend died They didn't do a very good job of building the characters in that aspect.
3) not a story telling point, but the portals they were advertising turned out to be nothing but fancy doors.

We finally put up the tree this weekend! Thankfully Brody doesn't have a TON of interest in it. He pretty much touches it for two seconds, realizes it does nothing, and is on his merry way. Crossing my fingers we can avoid any knockdowns!
I know the tree is lacking, but my ocd husband hates real trees, and if he had it his way we wouldn't have a tree at all. I call this picking my battles.
