Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a new take in a somewhat unexplored direction of the Metal Gear universe. We've always known there were cyborgs and soldiers who handled missions in ways that didn't require stealth. Rising gives us a chance to explore things from a different angle while still retaining the same feel of the Metal Gear series and it does so beautifully.
The gameplay is phenomenal. Platinum has a gift with the Hack N' Slash genre and it shows with Rising. The combat is fluid and challenging while still being fun and accessible. The parry mechanic feature heavily in the game and while it may take some time to master for some, it's incredibly satisfying when you pull off a perfect parry and counter-attack an enemy for extra damage. There are certain fights that require you to have a decent handle of the move as well, and if you don't the game will help you out by beating it into you. The combat just feels GOOD. Zandatsu never got old, and cutting up enemies into tiny little pieces has never been more fun. It's obvious that a lot of time went into the gameplay and with how responsive the controls are and how many different attacks you can do, it doesn't get much better. There are fair amount of purchasable moves in the game, from a dodge to a break-dancing attack to a palm strike that sends opponents flying across the screen. Fighting is intense in this game and it requires your full attention, much more so on higher difficulties where the enemies are MUCH more aggressive and block and parry your attacks more often. They even give you different enemy types depending on the difficulty. Imagine my surprise when I started up Very Hard after my first play-through on Hard mode and the prologue tossed 3 Fenrir type enemies at me(Chainsaw Wolves)almost as soon as I started!
Fun Action Title 8/31/2013Kenneth from California
I love the way the controls work in this game. You actually use the control stick to move Raiden's sword around, which is really cool. The graphics are great and the battles are intense overall. I would have liked a cooperative mode to play with friends but it's a minor disappointment. Overall I loved the game and would recommend it.
unique game playing expereince! 5/9/2013
Raiden of Metal Gear Solid begins cutting his own path in life in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. We also have veteran voice actor Quinton Flynn reprising his role as Raiden.
I think we can all agree the title is pretty silly. 'Revengeance'? Come on. But the game itself isn't too bad. As a huge fan of Raiden from back in the days of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, I had to admit I was very nervous about this new title that featured Ninja Gaiden-esque gameplay and Raiden's new "dark" persona of "Jack the Ripper" shown in the trailers. I was very put off at first and had to dig around before buying the game myself.
This is a fun game in a nutshell.

Great spin-off for the series 3/22/2013Michael from California
I really like the Metal Gear games, yet this is unlike any of the previous titles in the series. You play as Raiden, the gameplay is so fast and crazy. The way you can slowdown time and slash away at enemies is pretty unique. There's a lot of replay value as well, you can upgrade Raiden's weapons and skills. I'd recommend this!

- Eiffel tower, 1889, shadowfax10, paris, france
- Description
The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. It was only supposed to have a 20 year lifespan, but it quickly became such a favourite Paris sight that it has been maintained and renovated as a cherished landmark far beyond that initial proposal. This is a hand-held panorama taken at twilight in Spring 2009. At that time, every hour, the tower announced the new hour with a myriad of strobe lights, sparkling like vertical fireworks. In the distance, one can make out the Montparnasse Tower, which, a Paris-Walks guide told us, is known by locals as "the box the Eiffel Tower came in". For more information, go to: www.eiffel-tower.com / and choose your language preference from the pull-down menu at the top line. This panorama is a good companion to some of the other panoramas taken from the same viewpoint, but during the daytime.

WH40k RPGs: Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, and Deathwatch (and Black Crusade!)
November 16, 2010, 08:19:03 PM »
So, I headed to my local gaming store yesterday while waiting for someone I was supposed to meet a little later. I don't often go to these kinds stores any longer as I do almost all my purchases at online stores. What caught my attention was a rulebook called Deathwatch, which is an RPG system that lets you play space marines in Warhammer 40k. "That's neat" I thought, "they finally got around to publishing the next RPG in the setting after Dark Heresy". Then I noticed Rogue Trader, which is from the same setting with the same system (with some modifications to suit the type of gameplay) where you play, well, rogue traders traveling across the galaxy trying to earn the big bucks. I was flabbergasted. How did I miss both these?
Fast forward to today. I've now ordered both Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, and their respective GM screens from my favorite "local" online store (not interested in Dark Heresy really, so I'll skip that one). I've been... ahem... "previewing" the Rogue Trader book while waiting for the package to arrive in the mail, and it looks very interesting so far.
Does anyone here have any experience with these systems?

I haven't played any of them yet, but I've purchased 2 of the Rogue Trader books and the Dark Heresy monster book. I was really impressed with all 3 of them. In particular, I think the Rogue Trader "Profit" system is just great. It looks like an awesome way to motivate players to come up with their own adventure ideas.

I haven't even read about the Profit system in detail yet, and I still thought in the same lines as you.
I'm thinking that this could be a great system that easily lets the GM improvise most of the adventures.

I haven't played any of them, but I know Dark Heresy has a cult like following in my city - albeit it's only a few gaming circles. I was looking to join one, so I did a lot of reading up and was very impressed, but I was looking for something to possibly get my son involved with and DH seemed a bit too...well...dark.
There'll all produced by FFG and not GW, so I have no doubt Rogue Trader and Deathwatch are also excellent.

You can find almost anything on youtube nowadays.
I have a tougher time determining if these guys are spoofing or are giving an honest review. It's really a bit scary in a way.

I've run both a successful Rogue Trader and and a current Deathwatch campaign, and played in campaigns of them as well.
Did you have any specific questions about them?
My thoughts about the games is that they make good use of the rich Warhammer 40k setting, but the games and system have their own little problems. These problems come to a head in deathwatch, where as much fun and crazy as it is to play a space marine (and it does a good job of letting the player feel like SPESSSS MEHREEEENS) it also exacerbates some of the issues with the game.
These problems, however, are not that much more than any other RPG system in how they choose to abstract or not abstract various gameplay/story elements. There's also plenty of errors and odd wording in the books. There's a big part of the Deathwatch book that's really difficult for me to find exactly how it's meant to be used.

I'm very familiar with the Warhammer FRP system that these games are based upon, so I'm curious what you see as its greatest failings, seeing as you have actual play experience?

The percentile system works, but each character in rogue trader often has a pretty crappy skill in something, even at the highest levels. For some reason the rolls in the game just feels like characters can't quite do the things they should be doing as often as they should. At least, not if the GM isn't on the ball with changing the difficulty levels to represent a character being at ease. Although this may have something to do with the kind of systems I like to play.
One of the biggest problems with the game is in Deathwatch, with the way combat damage is handled, and just general shooting overall. Each player has his toughness characteristic, toughness bonus (the tens digit of the toughness characteristic), and armor. Both of these reduce the amount of incoming damage by that amount.
Each weapon has a rate of fire, and you'll almost always be shooting at the highest rate of fire you can that turn since it grants a bonus to hit and the better you roll the more shots hit. Then each shot also has a number of damage dice, and often times weapons will have extra damage dice on top of that for things like tearing (roll one extra, take the highest), then there's the Penetration number on the weapon/ammo, which negates that number worth of armor, but not toughness bonus.
Well, with Deathwatch and Rogue Trader, you're firing all this hardware, getting 1-10 hits on the turn. Each shot you're rolling out the damage dice for each round that hits individually. Oh and if you roll a 10 on any of your damage dice you can get Righteous Fury, where you reroll the to hit roll and if you succeed you get to roll your damage again and add that, rerolling again if you get another 10 on a damage die. Then each shot you're subtracting the Penetration from the armor, but not the toughness, then applying what's left of the toughness + armor to the damage roll. And you're doing this for every single shot.
In a game like Deathwatch where combat is the norm, this can really, really bog down the game, especially so with the kind of enemies that Deathwatch, or even Rogue Traders, face. I've had situations where I've moved on from one player's turn when he started calculating damage only to loop back around through initiative just to have him barely finish calculating damage to find out he didn't kill his target.
There's also issues with the whole ship combat system, at least in terms of player interaction, there's some built in stuff but as above it can get a little tricky, especially with boarding actions and such.

So, I've been GMing a Rogue Trader campaign for a little while now. We've only been through 5 sessions so far, but it's been all kinds of awesome! We're running the Lure of the Expanse campaign, which is turning out to be surprisingly good for an adventure book. The flaws mentioned above haven't really surfaced for me. I keep track of the rules and calculations on my side of the table (which I realize not all GMs are able or willing to do), as long as the players keep track of their own bonuses and penalties using a couple of simple handouts I've given them. It runs very smoothly. Combat turns are over quickly, and combat is fast and deadly.
Just to emphasize how cool the game can be, here's a little recap of what happened at the end of our last session. Be aware that it contains some mild spoilers from one part of the Lure of the Expanse campaign.
The players had been escorted into the rather primitive "mansion" of the leader of a large band of deserters from the Imperial Guard. The house was built out of gnarly wood fastened with vines from a local swamp, and didn't look particularly solid or luxurious, not to mention the fact that part of it was balancing precariously over the edge of a large crater. Their primary goal was to get a visual on a jewel the leader (calling himself King Komitzar) used to psychically control his population, and to obtain it, preferably through trade, if it turned out to be what they were looking for (as part of a larger quest). Their secondary goal, and also the one they openly presented to the guardsmen, was to initiate mutually beneficial trade with the planet.
The trade negotiations went reasonably well, even though King Komitzar (let's call him KK) accused the players of being bounty hunters sent to bring him back to the Imperium. The rogue trader, slick as always, managed to calm things and noticed that when he gave some subtle hints towards the jewel around KK's neck, KK grew angry and threatening. Despite this obvious clue, the rogue trader (Mordechai is his name) went all out and asked if the jewel was available for trade. Enraged, KK ordered his 10 armed guards to shoot the foreigners on the spot. Bad idea.
The group's arch-militant stepped forward with his hellgun, firing it semi-auto into KK, melting his flesh and fusing him to his "throne". The guards and KK's concubines did their best to attack, but barely made a dent against the vastly superior armor these intruders carried. The arch-militant killed the concubines and three guards in a hail of hellgun fire, while the navigator revealed her third eye to the remaining guards, exposing them to the horrors of the Warp and causing them to jump to their deaths (the throne room had one side without walls), rip out their eyes, or just die on the spot. With the immediate threats under control, the rogue trader snatched the jewel away from the burning corpse of KK and led his group to the roof while the arch-militant remained behind to guard the stairwell leading up to their position. There was only one way out, and they could hear large amounts of guards cocking weapons and preparing to charge from that direction.
However, the rogue trader had an ace up his sleeve. The group's void master was waiting with a gun-cutter (a rather large and well-armed shuttle) about a kilometer away. When the shit hit the fan, he had fired up the engines and was flying at great speed directly towards the group. Using the gun-cutter's auspex scanners he could see the groups of guards through the walls of the building, even from a long distance. Firing one shot from the twin-linked cannons on the cutter, he completely destroyed part of the building, including the stairwell and several of the guards preparing to climb it. Unable to get up, the remaining guards fired their weapons through the roof, almost hitting the arch-militant who dodged out of the way and tossed a stun grenade back at them, silencing them for a while. Sensing that the situation was reasonably under control, he withdrew up to the roof along with the rest of the group while waiting for the airlift.
On the roof, the group noticed a large group of people running towards the mansion, fury visible on their faces. The void master noticed as well and fired two shots into the front of the building. As the doorway exploded in front of the mass of people, they all stopped in shock. The void master's satisfied smile quickly turned to horror as the entire front of the building collapsed and the entire structure started to tip over the edge of the large crater it was balancing on. With the counterweight gone, the entire thing was about to fall into the depths of the crater, rogue trader and retinue along with it.
A few amazing feats of piloting later, the void master lined up the back of the ship with the now very unstable roof of the building, allowing the rogue trader and the navigator to jump to safety. However, as the arch-militant was about the jump the entire building started collapsing. The void master reacted like a pro and dropped the gun-cutter along with it, letting the arch-militant make one final, desperate jump to safety, which he made with style. Closing the shuttle doors behind them, the gun-cutter accelerated away from the stunned people who had just seen their entire leadership literally collapse and fall before them.
The mission had been a success, even though the trade deal hadn't worked out. The rogue trader was in possession of the jewel which would allow the group to finish their mission.
why I love Rogue Trader!

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Willie Gunn
Pierre mean frazil ice. Frazil ice is a collection of loose, randomly oriented needle-shaped ice crystals in water. It resembles slush and has the appearance of being slightly oily when seen on the surface of water.
'Frozil' might be referring to anchor ice on the river bed.
Having previously only driven into Gaspe via various routes, I saw some of the destruction - bare hillsides, Murdochville, etc, but only last year when I flew in and out on clear days did I really get an appreciation for how bad the situation is. Gaspe is as despoiled as any part of Quebec that I've seen save for a few nasty mining towns like Schefferville.
Incredibly sad, and defefinitely has to be a contributing factor to the lack of recovery in runs since the netting buy-out. For sure there are other factors, but they alll add up.

"I was suprised that in 2001 that there was no scientific evidence that loggin had an impact and was surely grateful that these folks were "looking into thing"
The people you talk about were probably the biologists from the CIRSA (Atlantic Salmon Inter University Research Center). Their study showed evidencies of production impact , mostly related to tributaries lost of habitat (dry section not produce any parr). The Patapedia and the Kedgwick lived that at the beginning of '80s, now on recovery since the forest come back.
Other issue; a friend of mine working at the power dam in Rimouski mentionned a very hard winter with "frozil" (don't know the term in english) . He expected a big impact on the parr and smolt production due to these extreme conditions.
Hi Chris:
You are right on relative to habitat destruction. Anyone who has been to the branches (particularly salmon branch) of the Grand Cascapedia has seen clear cutting at its worse. On the York and St. Jean they are now cutting massive amounts of trees (at a time when lumber is fetching almost nothing) and the Dartmouth has already experienced large cuts and that has had an impact on water temps and fluctuations. In Gaspe, they have said there is a person or persons on the zec board whose responsibility is to monitor cutting plans and to push for reduced cuts and minimizing the environmental impact of cutting. If that is true then someone is asleep at the switch. If it is not true then someone needs to step forward before it is too late.
I will not forget a day I had up in the wading sector of the G-Cas a few year back. I was fishing pool 80 and then walked downstream. In the river were a couple of forestry people from a University. They said they were studying silt build up to see if the massive logging had any sort of impact on the river. I was suprised that in 2001 that there was no scientific evidence that loggin had an impact and was surely grateful that these folks were "looking into things"
Fact is, though, that not every river has seen the massive cutting like the rivers I am mentioning. And, with runs down everywhere worldwide there has to be more to it than just poor logging practices. That is not to say that poor logging practices have not had an impact; they surely do overtime. My fear is that something is occuring at sea and I am not sure what it is.
A year or so ago Dave Bishop told me about a fungus that was showing up on salmon entering the Grand Cas. I would like to know more/hear more about that.
Bill Greiner
Folks, I've said it before and I'll say it again, go to Google Earth and look at the cutting or burns that affect these rivers. It was only a matter of time before one hot summer or exceptionally cold winter put a run or two at risk. I'm fine with altering the angling plan, and even paying more, but I want to see the land and rivers protected. They just plain need more habitat up there.
I don't know the specific case and will have to dig it up but severely depressed WC Steelhead runs have been saved by steps to improve habitat improvement without changing angling practices beyond C&R. The issue of habitat degradation is missing in this whole debate. Like I said, I'm happy to pay more, as long as it goes towards the health of the resource and not a shiny new cleaning station (sends quite the message there).
What would it take to get the fisheries managers at the table or at least tell us who to write to in order to find out what is being done regarding habitat management?
No doubt poaching was higher in the Club days then today. Much of it had to do with the absecnce of accessibility for local anglers as well as an accepted part of culture (it was an honor in certain places from what I am told).
It has not gone away any more than poaching of moose and deer have disappeared either. It is not as prevalent but it still exists.
Presuming that poaching is gone the loss of jobs would be unacceptable by local communities. In the case of the Grande, those 2 jobs support 2 families. In Gaspe, there are roughly 18 guardians for the 3 rivers. Even though their hours and weeks were clearly cut back this year due to budgetary constraints, they still support their families through their work. Fact is that poaching still exists, albeit it less than it was 20 years ago, and it will continue and need to be dealt with.
I am not familiar with the road program you are speaking about. However, I can tell you that the 3 zecs I deal with are responsible for the roads and they must budget for grading, maintenance, and repairs of the roads, bridges, and culverts out of their revenue. If you look, for example, at the Zec Gaspe, their revenue in 2006 was around $1,000,000 (including the Pavillion now Taj which did just shy of $400,000 in revenue). Net profit was around $90,000 which means that costs, including salaries, repairs and maintenace, etc amounted to around $900,000. To simply make the fishery free (subisidized by tax dollars) likely will not fly.
I am all for the Catch and Release component though.
Bill Greiner
Bill, poaching is still alive, for sure, but protection from a ZEC or a Reserve is nothing else than dissuasive for light poaching and certainly not effective for heavy poaching. I am still to see a guard to arrest is neighbour after this one advised him he should be better to stay quiet for the health of is children. In fact, in the past, the period where these rivers were the most poached was during the period they were operate by private club, which was the period where they had the highest number of guardian. The Grande Rivers you mentioned was under control of a french. The last year he was responsible of the whole river, only 79 fish were counted on spawn...
I know the ZEC has responsabilyt for a road in some case, but most pay that with "Volet 2" project, so gouvernment project anyway.
As far as I know, if these fish have been able to cross the ocean on the road to their rivers, they must be able to swim couple more miles alone...
The roads on the Dartmouth, St. Jean (both sides of the river), Grande, and Pabos West and Petite Pabos are the responsibilities of those zecs to maintain (new culverts were put in on the Dartmouth in 2005 or 2006 and were paid by the zec as was a bridge (not the bridge washed away by the August floods) and the grading, etc is done by the zecs. The road on the Pabos North is maintained by the Zec des Anses and every salmon angler pays a right of access fee to pass on the road as part of their fishing pass. Grande river could not afford to maintain road 2 years ago and I agreed to pay a higher price (30% more) for the block of rods so that they could do the maintenance that was necessary.
As for protection the Grande River was netted at least twice this year (in July if you need specifics) after the gate fell down. I will not comment more on that but fish were lost and the fact that they can only afford 2 guardians on the zec shows that more is needed. If you think that no other netting occurs I would (unfortunately) suggest that you are naive. Again, I will not elaborate but can assure you that this is not conjecture.
I will also tell you that on the St. Jean River within the past 5 years salmon were pitchfored out at night on several occassions at Big Indian on the St. Jean. The number of guardians on that river (and the others we fish) is inadequate. When the zecs do not have large revenue (Grande and Pabos) or mismanage themselves (Gaspe) and see revenues decline by 15-20% the first thing that gets cut is protection. Correct me if I am wrong but the zecs were mandated by the Govt to provide protection on the rivers in return for management. If they fail to do so they can loose their management agreement.
Additionally, the Dartmouth has seen many salmon with flies in their backs even when the river was C&R. If someone wants to take a fish they will, regardless of rules and regulations.
I would also suggest that if all of the rivers were C&R there would be some that would be determined to take fish because of the regulation of C&R.
Maybe all of the other Quebec rivers have seen poaching go to zero but not the ones on the tip. I would venture a guess that it is still alive, though not as bad as it was 20 years ago.
At least we now seem to agree on Catch and Release of Large, Wild Atlantic Salmon.
Bill Greiner
"Interesting suggestion. No access fees for anyone would mean that the Government (Quebec taxpayers) would have to subsidize the costs of protection, access (roads, trails), infrastructure, etc. Do you think they would be up for those costs? I have no idea about the total cost of such an undertaking but I would suspect it would be several million dollars."
Let's see couple things. Acces road are, in the major part, already paid by the government. No revenu from the ZEC pay for the roads in most fo the rivers.
Protection now. Except for the place where there is a gate, could you please tell me how many poachers has been arrested in the last 20 years with the protection from ZECs? I am confident for number lower than 10, for all ZECS in the province. Personaly, I have always considered anglers are the best protectors, and we had couple very good example in the last couple years ont he Matane and Matapedia. Infrastructure now. Which part of your access fee goes for infratructure? Around nothing! Most of what you see have been paid by programm!!! And having a pic nic table might be funny, but it will not stop me to go fishing.
Basicaly, the model based on ZEC and Wildflife reserve has always been justified to control the access based primary on a conservation concern. If there is no kill, there no concern no? (or less) So why having a heavy management structure ion that situation. And on an economic standpoint, what is the best, 100 people spending 100$ per day in the area, or 40 people spending 100 $ per day in the area and 50$ for the ZEC? Outfitters and gudie will anyway have bussiness from people looking for all included services, exactly like on the Margaree. People looking for more "elitic" package will always have the north shore and Ungava outfitters available
So let's go to C & R everywhere, open water everywhere, and let's all folks fishing , having fun and promote conservation and species protection
Interesting suggestion. No access fees for anyone would mean that the Government (Quebec taxpayers) would have to subsidize the costs of protection, access (roads, trails), infrastructure, etc. Do you think they would be up for those costs? I have no idea about the total cost of such an undertaking but I would suspect it would be several million dollars.
Here is a counter proposal:
Catch and release for all MSW as you suggest. Mandatory outfitting or guiding for non-residents (there is a moratorium for new outfitting liceneses and the same could be done for authorizations of commerce which the LEGAL guides need to obtain). No commercial enterprise (outfitter or guide service) could have more than 2 rods per river in a limited zone per day (there would be no limit as to how many rods could be sent by that business to open waters). This would reduce non-resident pressure on rivers and ensure that most of the limited zones would be available to residents (there could be an opportunity for these businesses to pick up unused limited zone rods the day of fishing that were not bought by residents in the 48 hour draw to ensure no lost revenue). Further, it would allow businesses to offer fishing in controlled (limited access) zones for a certain number of customers in order to charge a rate that ensures a viable business and the employment that results. These rods could be part of the 20% rule or could be obtained thru draws (the current draw system, in my opinion, needs to be reformed to 1 card for 1 angler).
Net result; no large, wild salmon being killed. Priority access for resident anglers. A place (albeit not a large place) for commercial operations who provide jobs and revenue for the economies, and an opportunity for the rivers to finance themselves without taxpayer subsidies.
The best way to eliminate foolish mamagers is to have their members vote them out if they end up either destroying the resource or bankrupting the organization over foolish plans.

For the Matapedia, the count was in the 1300 MSW range in low visibility condition, sow 1300 is a minimal estimation. But in the Matapedia and Patapedia, very few grilse which is a major concern for next year. Globaly, the Restigouche watershed seems to be not that bad compared with the Baie des Chaleurs rivers, like Grand Cascapedia and Bonnie
On the St Lawrence side, it is around the average everywhere, for both MSW and grilses. Regarding the Matane, you must add 118 fish to the final count -fish caught bellow the dam-, so the total number is 2871. With around 1300 grilses, there is no concern there for next year. Same thing for Rimouski, with more than 500 fish (for the first time), including arond 375 grilses. But in this case, the fact they are still under a stocking programm change the reality.
Sagenay and North Shore are also in good shape
Regarding Bill's sugegstion, I would have another one; open water everywhere with no access fees and catch and release for all MSW. So no more conflict about who will get which water, no more concern about who is the best or the worst management, and equality of chances in access for everybody
I do not think anyone is trying to drive people away by posts. I have been accurate in what I have posted relative to runs. They were down (I am talking about York, Dartmouth, St. Jean, Grande, Pabos, Bonaventure, Grand Cas, Petite Cas, Ste Anne, Cap Chat, Madeline) from 2006 and 2005. That is indisputable and unfortunate. At least 1 river manager (you can probably guess who) did not paint that picture, but instead made it seem as though the runs were on time and the same as last year. That is misleading or dishonest depending upon how you want to look at the motive for his statements.
Ann: I did see the numbers for the York in Jean's office (we went over it together) and it took into account the fish above White House. The Dartmouth count was incomplete for sure as they did not count the upper stretches of that river and we know fish do go close to Lake Dartmouth. The St. Jean was not shown to me either, even though it was completed. The pools as far as Murray Brook were counted and the final number was definately lower than last year but I am not comfortable stating it since I did not see it (I heard the final number from a very reliable source). I believe that this number will not be shown to you, me or anyone until the Government publishes it next spring is to not show the public the real count as the zec attempts to fill the Taj Mahal (that ought to be interesting).
Why are the numbers down? No one knows for sure. Maybe it is a cycle like Ann says; maybe it is an issue at sea. It is too widespread (Canada, Europe, etc) to presume it was related to flooding after spawning 5 years ago.
What can be done? The only solution I have is catch and release of all large salmon for a period of 5 years. To many this does not seem unreasonable; to others it may seem like an eternity. AT THE VERY LEAST 1 year of C&R would be the most prudent measure that can be taken but that is very unlikely to happen either. Certain zecs rely too heavily on revenue from anglers looking to kill salmon (that is the sole reason the St. Jean River was opened for killling large salmon-- so they could fill the Taj-- it did not work but salmon were killed by other anglers as a result of that move) and they are unlikely to potentially drive some of that business away, particularly after a poor year like 2007 when runs were down, rod days were down, and revenues were down.
Like Ann, I have to work with what we have and will ultimately find the best water available givenn circumstances. The best solution for all is more fish. It just makes sense to put everything back so that at least our impact as anglers is negligible to a run of salmon.

Hello Fontinalis,
I can say that for myself, I am (still) waiting to see a copy of the counts.
I was at the Zec office at the end of the season and they had no confirmed or written numbers to give me then. (That was October 1)
We all know the gates fell on all three rivers, so it will be difficult to get an exact estimate.
We fished over fish right through September 30th.
Again, Petit Sauimon, in sector 1 was holding fresh fish (small and big)..about 30 fish ..September 30th!!
Sector 4 (Gros Saumon) ..I was guiding there with another guide, and we could see
very large fish,,,(silver) which I thought should have been in the river in early June.
Go Figure,...it was weird year.
As soon as I hear from the Zec, I'll let you know my findings, but then again, it will be an approximate count!!
Is there a pattern?? Some say every 7 years etc... Wish I knew!!
There's good years and bad years, fishing is fishing.... !!
Me too, I wonder, like you..."that a number of the fish delayed by sea ice simply elected to not spawn this year, and they'll show up next year".
We'll see what happens next season....maybe we are right!!!!

Questionable RB rotations during the Miles era,,,Running a one legged hester when Charles Scott was killing it all day, Forcing Lee to keep throwing against LA Tech when Keiland Williams had damn near 200 yards in a quarter, Taking hill out of the Clemson game when he was gashing them,,,,taking hill out of the ole miss gameplan after a fumble, Im not saying running hill less was the only reason LSU lost,,but goshdarn u got an all SEC caliber running back and u replace him with a 5'9 210 scat back(no offense to magee),,,,u just scratch your head. When LSU became one dimensional and they could tee off on immobile Mett,,,Game set and match.....
In the beginning when Les first got here and LSU played awesome D and just good enough offense. I took losses hard borderline alcohol poisoning loss to auburn 2006, delirium in the loss to kentucky 2007, cussing out dogs in the near loss to tennessee 2008, and tearing up my chandelier in the loss to ole miss 2009. Now when LSU commits the drive killing offsides penalty, or commits a turnover when in position to put away the competition or Benches its best offensive player so the other team has a chance to come back and claim victory(clemson). I just take the loss and move on....I must thank LES for calming me down. My wife, kids and dog aren't as fearful of me on Saturday Nights anymore. Thank
Better to be an LSU fan at peace with the losses than a Bama fan only maintaining sanity because they never lose.
How'd you react to an L to UAB? The play of Josh Booty? Marcus Randall/ JaMarcus QB situation in 2004? Just curious.
Les Miles can't win a NC with the talent on that team then it just isn't going to happen.
eh, I give credit for the coaching job in 2011 that gave LSU an undefeated season with a very unstable QB duo.
LSU will out-muscle and out-talent opponents, or, lose the game.
If today, he were to take charge of a program with lesser talent, he'd be a 6-6 coach.

this project may be interesting as an easy demonstration of "IO Callback function (1) scheduling" performed into FIFO way, extremely easy to understand and extremely short in his implementation: it sounds good for arduino =P
Hi, nice effort! I've seen the code - and let me kindly ask you following:1. why we need to deal with float in: //set the initial value of the counter depending on the prescaler _starter = 256 - (int)((float)F_CPU * 0.001 / prescaler);would not be better to do it as #define _starter 256-F_CPU/1000/prescaleror something like that?
2. the clock limitation (1,4,8,16MHz) - that is related to point 1. only, so when I'll find a good _starter (in order to get 1ms timer interrupt) I can use ie 22.11MHz as well, I guess
3. would it be possible to use it outside the arduino environment as well?P.
const uint8_t ONETIME=2;const uint8_t SCHEDULED=1;
This is really helpful! however the ONETIME keyword does not work. I'm starting task1 to happen every two seconds. Task2 is onetime and I restart is each time task1 happens. However, task2 happens continually.Jim

Got got no crimson-colored glasses on, either, when it comes to 'Bama's ease of schedule, there are more cupcakes on the 'Bama baking rack, but I'm also pretty happy for McElwain, the ex-OC, having his team hang in there against Alabama - because it really reflected a "little Alabama," which McElwain's explicitly trying to build, going toe-to-toe with the real thing.
Also, Saban only played about 46 defensive backs - for the experience - so I don't think he was terribly demoralized about the outcome, either. Every outcome has something positive in it for Saban, so long as you use it to keep playing and getting better all the way to the end. Think he's managed to do that pretty doggone well the last six years - especially three of the last four - and soon to be four of the five, unless you know more about those "other issues" in Tusca-not-used-to-losing (misspelled for emphasis) that might derail a three-peat.

Fabio Pinca vs. Tayfun Ozcan Added To Time Fight 2 On October 6
- Written by Rian Scalia
The Time Fight 2 card in Tours, France on October 6 has undergone a lot of changes in the past month, but overall the card is still looking solid. Originally the card was supposed to have a big fight between Lumpinee champion Damien Alamos and Houcine Bennoui in a rematch, with Bennoui having won the first fight. That fight, however, got cancelled because of Alamos' commitment to a fight with Diesellek Aoodonmuang next month.
In place of that fight, another one of the best non-Thai Muay Thai fighters, Fabio Pinca was added to the card. Pinca will fight the Dutch up and comer Tayfun Ozcan at 67kg.
Ozcan usually fights at 70kg but Pinca will still be his toughest fight to date, especially being that this fight is under full Muay Thai rules. Ozcan is a Dutch style kickboxer while Pinca is a Muay Thai fighter through and through.
Pinca comes off a loss to Saiyok Pumphanmuang at Thai Fight on September 19 in Lyon, France while Ozcan also just fought, on September 22 where he stopped Hicham Boubkari in the second round.

yeah, except that the universe tends to go to a steady state (the opposite of inflation)
The quality of online education could improve even more when virtual reality labs can be used at low cost. Even then, actually working with lab equipment (bio/medical or engineering) adds greatly to the curriculum. Some of these things are just way to expensive for the average person to purchase.
it's not meant for the average consumer. But there are big corporations/firms/universities who would love to have this card.
It could, but only within the organization since I can setup email printing to only accept from certain email servers within a range of IP addresses. Within an organization it's easy to find out when someone is abusing something, and when that does happen there are consequences for that person within that organization. I'd have to blame the admin for leaving this wide open to the whole world.
I agree, we've got a canon imagerunner that can do this.
xplane on 24 monitors on ubuntu out of one box, but I think this was using 4 of the 6 output eyefinity cards:
Assuming that the 6 output cards use 2 card slot spaces each, then you'd have 8 used. It looks like this HD5970 uses 3 slots so you could still only get two of these cards into that same system. If you could get one more rear slot to be available you might be able to fit 3 of these cards into one machine and you'd get a 36 monitor output (each monitor at 1920x1200). You could have a 9 (*1920) wide by 4 monitors high (* 1200), which is about 79.1 megapixels . Or you could do a 6 x 6 .
allow me to answer my own question:
anyone know if the ati linux drivers work for this?

Italian cantatas and two oboe sonatas by G. F. Handel 'Very long, long arias and almost endless cantatas which have neither the right skill nor the right taste, though their harmony is perfect,' wrote Johann Mattheson about the twenty-year-old Handel in Hamburg in 'Grundlagen einer Ehrenpforte' (1740). According to Mattheson (music master and chapel master in Hamburg), it was only after Handel had gained some experience with opera that his works acquired the necessary refinement. But Mattheson's cutting remark on the cantatas is only one of many to be found in the Ehrenpforte which are not necessarily based on objective fact. It is likely that the often strained relationship between the two had some bearing on Mattheson's judgement. After all, Handel was supposed to write up his own vita for this collection of biographies of great musicians as the other composers included therein had done. Much to Mattheson's annoyance, he refused to do so. This may be the reason for some of Mattheson's caustic remarks, not to mention the legendary dual which took place between Mattheson and Handel in which the latter escaped with his life only because the crucial thrust of the sword was deflected by a coat button. In fact, the Italian cantatas recorded here - probably composed between 1706 and 17(19 - ought not to be underestimated; they reveal themselves to be musical gems. Handel must have been exposed to cantata compositions and to the Italian language as early as the summer of 1704 while he was staying in Hamburg. After all, the collection of Reinhard Keisers cantatas, famous at the time, had been in Hamburg since 1698, and the Hamburg poets Christian Heinrieh Postel and Barthold Feind wrote in Italian. From the time Handel started travelling to Italy in 1706, it was only to be expected that he would begin to compose many more Italian cantatas. The ones on this recording date from Handel's early period: 'Lungi dame, peusier liranuo', which has come down to us in a version for alto as well as soprano, is dated August 3!, 1709, according to the bill of a copyist of one of the extant copies. There also exists a copyist's bill of 'Udite ii mio ionsig/io' dated May 16, 1708. In Italy and its neighbouring countries, continuo cantatas (for voice with only basso continuo accompaniment) had long since established themselves in the public's favour in the period before 1710. Handel also preferred to compose in this genre, though his output of cantatas was less prolific in the years to come. Not many were written daring his Hanover and London years. Nevertheless, all the cantatas on this recording probably made their way beyond Italy's borders soon after they were composed. Contemporary London manuscript copies of almost all of them still exist.....
