Green is the New Black... by Rosa - over 6 years ago
"Girl Scout Troop 588 from Union, New Jersey ran an educational event geared toward younger scouts to teach them about issues facing the environment. Over 50 scouts attended! The scouts learned the importance of recycling and how important it is to saving our natural resources. They participated in the melting ice cap game to show them how polar bears are dealing with global warming. Lastly, the scouts also learned tips on conversation such as using environmental friendly products and conserving energy. Custom Ink was very helpful to our Troop by given us ideas on how to pull together our "Green is the New Black" logo.... I would certainly recommend this company to Troop Leaders in my community as well as my friends."

IRVING, Texas – Oh boy, here they go again, and already know what you're thinking, causing some high anxiety heading into Sunday night's game in Na' Orlins'.
Cowboys-Saints, in the Superdome, and of all things, at night, 7:30 CT, about as bad as it can get if you figure some 73,000 will have all day to get juiced for this game, as if the folks down there on the bayous need any artificial aid to get ready for a game involving their beloved Saints.
Drew Brees vs. that Cowboys' 31st-ranked defense.
I mean, geesh, one week the Cowboys have to face Philip Rivers, currently the NFL's third-ranked quarterback. The next it's Peyton Manning, the league's top-ranked quarterback. Then RGIII, and thank goodness he was still on the mend.
Then it's LeSean McCoy, who at the time and still is the NFL's leading rusher. Then the dynamic duo of Stafford/Johnson, the seventh-leading passer teaming up with the third leader in receiving yards. Then it's Adrian Peterson, the sure-fire Hall of Famer who is fourth in the NFL in rushing yards and tied for second with seven rushing touchdowns.
And if all that is not enough to make your defensive heads spin, now comes Brees, his 104.5 passer rating fourth in the NFL, along with tight end Jimmy Graham, the NFL's leading scorer among non-kickers with 10 touchdowns, two more than Jacksonville has scored all season and just three fewer than what Tampa Bay has scored.
Talk about a Murderers' Row. That'll just wear you out.
Now, it's bad enough this game will match the league's third-ranked passing attack against the 31st-ranked pass defense, one that in nine games has been rocked for four, 400-yard passing performances by opposing quarterbacks – an ignominious single-season NFL record. But, it's also a defense that already has been hit for a franchise single-game-high 488 passing yards by an opposing quarterback (Matthew Stafford) and a franchise single-game high of 329 receiving yards by an opposing receiver (Calvin Johnson)
Oh, and this: The Cowboys have given up 36 passing plays of at least 20 yards, and then another 32 running plays of at least 10 yards, including last Sunday's season-high 52-yard run by Peterson.
But it gets worse.
Sure, the Cowboys are rejoicing over the return of sackmeister
But … but … the Cowboys just might be without their two starting defensive tackles,
This on top of being forced to waive defensive tackle Marvin Austin injured at the beginning of the week and poaching rookie defensive tackle
Indeed, it's time to incorporate the idea of former scouting director Larry Lacewell of erecting a Statue of Liberty replica out front of The Ranch, as if a Cowboys' help-wanted ad one year when injuries equally had decimated the team:
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses …
Who ever heard of getting ready to play your 17th defensive lineman by the 10th game of a season. Being able to name all 17 is sure to become some sort of Trivial Pursuit brainteaser?
Worse, by my count, and hey, not saying someone didn't fall through the cracks, but Dawkins also becomes the 32nd defensive lineman to have passed through Cowboys rights since the start of the offseason.
You'd think some devilish looking creature in a black cap is at the doorstep howling some ghoulish-sounding ha-ha-hah with the incongruous Saints about to march right in.
Yeah, yeah, we all know about "the next guy up" Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett keeps preaching, but this next, next-guy-up Dawkins has never played a down in an NFL regular-season game, and that on the heels of last week's NGU not having previously played in a game since 2011. Oh, and let's not forget the likes of Casaer Rayford and
And some of you wondered why the Cowboys were overly patient with Jay Ratliff. Heck, they might be one injury away from trying to convince Wednesday night's Cowboys Legends Show guest Randy White to reconsider having retired even if he's 60 years old.
Having said all that, here is what is so frustrating about a Cowboys defense being held together at times with duct tape:
The Cowboys' 31st-ranked total defense is giving up 419.2 yards a game, on pace to obliterate last year's franchise single-season record of 355.5 yards. The Cowboys' 31st-ranked pass defense is getting burned for 305.2 yards per game, another on pace to break the 1983 franchise single-season record of 245.5 passing by opponents.
That's unbelievable.
But so is this: This same defensive unit, one giving up those gobs of yards and decimated by injuries, is tied for second in the NFL with 21 takeaways. Twenty-one, now, as many in nine games as the Cowboys had all of last season.
Go figure.
Check this out further. Already the Cowboys have intercepted 12 passes, five more than all of last season. And the nine fumble recoveries in nine games matches last year's 16-game total.
And since this team has significantly cut down on its own turnovers, the Cowboys are sitting there with a plus-10 turnover differential, second in the league to Kansas City's plus-15. Why, the last time the Cowboys finished a season plus-10 when it came to turnovers was 1999.
Oh, and sacks, a vitally important commodity when playing the pass-happy 6-2 Saints: The Cowboys, without three of their projected four starting defensive lineman these past three weeks and could be in the same boat if Hatcher isn't lining up next to the returning Ware on Sunday, have totaled 23 sacks, so on pace for 41 – seven more than last season's 34.
So as you can see, this defense being riddled by loads of opponent yards is surviving on sacks and takeaways while giving up at least 30 points in four of the nine games, but limiting three opponents to no more than 17 points.
Just doesn't make much sense, does it? And that's the frustrating part of this season, that and an offense that has been somewhat inconsistent.
Well, while numbers don't lie, maybe they have become somewhat misleading because in the game the Cowboys set the opponent franchise-high of 623 total yards and an opposing quarterback franchise high of 488 passing yards, they only lost by one point, 31-30, to Detroit on the road. And the winning touchdown wasn't scored until the final 12 seconds of the game.
Continue to go figure.
And maybe all this numerical deciphering is the biggest problem here. Maybe we're not supposed to worry so about all these debilitating numbers since only two count, right? The 5 and the 4, their record, desperately trying to enter next week's bye at 6-4.
And wouldn't that be something.

Origin of a Contest Name
"A man is sitting in a room, all by himself. He's lonely. He's a writer. He wants to write a story. It's been a long time since he wrote his last story, and he misses it. He misses the feeling of creating something out of something. That's right—something out something. Because something out of nothing is when you make something up out of thin air, in which case it has no value. Anybody can do that. But when it's something out of something, that means it was really there the whole time, inside you, and you discover it as part of something new, that's never happened before." —Suddenly, a Knock on the Door by Etgar Keret

Oh, come on. Like you've never read here.
Welcome to Terry's Reading Room, where I write about what I've recently read.
Try not to look so shocked that I actually read.
Today's featured book is "The American Way of Poverty: How the Other Half Still Lives" by Sasha Abramsky . It's available at the Marathon County Public Library .
This book is a two-parter. In part one, Abramsky introduces us to people who have lived with poverty for generations, and people who have just joined their ranks thanks to The Great Recession.
Many of these stories could have just as easily come from down the street. The closing of several paper mills in Central Wisconsin have left hundreds without good-paying jobs. People who could earn a decent income with one full time job, are now working two or three part time jobs and still not making enough to live on.
Combine those job losses with the anti-tax sentiment, and resistance to increasing the size and scope of government programs to help the poor in Washington and Madison, and a bad situation becomes even worse.
Our elected leaders bail out the financial industry because "they need it", meanwhile cutting food stamps and education programs because "the poor just need to work harder". Swearing in to office on a Bible only to turn around and do the exact opposite of what a certain divine carpenter would do seems a bit off to me.
Anyway, part two of Abramsky's book lays out some means by which the issue of poverty in the U.S. can be more effectively addressed. I liked the sound of a lot of his suggestions, but I agree with Abramsky that the bulk of American politicians lack the political will to do something that will actually fix poverty. Why risk big campaign donations from people who have money by doing something for people who don't? Far easier to just pretend poverty isn't a thing.
If I sound a bit incensed after reading this book, I am.
If someone wants my vote in the next election cycle, they'd better have a better plan for addressing poverty than, "screw the poor".

ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson plans to add Andy McCollum to his staff as defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator.
The hire is pending approval of the administration.
McCollum has been North Carolina State's linebackers coach the last three seasons. He will replace Giff Smith as recruiting coordinator. Smith has joined former Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey's staff with the NFL Buffalo Bills.
McCollum, a native of Marietta, was an advance scout for the Tennessee Titans in 2006 after seven seasons as Middle Tennessee State's head coach.

Is the use of EMS(electrical muscle stimulation) a form of doping?
This week in my bioelectricity class, we discussed electrical stimulation of the body. There are EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) devices that allow the user to stimulate and contract specific muscles by sending electrical impulses via electrode pads. EMS is sometimes used in competitive sports to increase exercise tolerance and manipulate the behavior of muscles favorably.
In 2011, a study revealed that EMS may enhance pitching performance and recovery in baseball. Without EMS, pitchers need to find a balance between resting and active exercise. With EMS, blood can continuously flow into the muscles, reducing the risk of exhaustion. There are other studies that show positive effects of EMS on athletic performance such as helping athletes stay warmed up without fatiguing the muscles, while the validity of these claims have not been confirmed. There are coaches that use EMS training on elite athletes who compete in the Olympics.
I'd like to pose a question, is the use of EMS in competitive sports a form of doping? While eating healthy or regular exercise can shape and improve an athlete's performance, the use of EMS seems to be a more direct and invasive way of making the athlete's body more fit for the sport. If the EMS technology advances enough to the extent where it can significantly improve athletic performance, do you think it is legitimate or fair to use EMS in competitive sports?

Calvin Davis
Mar 12 2013: Although I do not believe electrical stimulation should be considered doping, I don't see it comparable to taking a protein shake. Consuming a protein shake is analagous to consuming a healthy high protein piece of food. Electrical stimulation on the other hand, offers many benefits without consuming any energy. An outside source, electricity, is utilized to enhance performance.
Mar 12 2013: By your logic, a protein shake still qualifies under and outside source. The same can be argued of creatine. Supplements may be considered less of an evil than some sources, but ultimately, they all still fall under the same category. Anything ingested outside of normal meals falls under "outside" sources. Some companies are known to use a form of steroid to improve the size of their chickens...thus a lot of the population ingests steroids which results in unrealized effects. So should we now dis-continue consumption of certain brands of chicken? Maybe so, but all of the madness behind PEDs and EMS is ridiculous, especially if the standard changes every year.

Here we are, coming up on our Car-Free one year anniversary - in two weeks!
I haven't mentioned yet that car-free is pretty easy when you're an unemployed mom. I get into conversations with other moms (working moms, moms with several kids, other working folk) who exclaim how great it must be to have the time to take the bus, or ride a bike - but they could never give up the convenience of a car. Here, let me just re-enact one of these chats in 10 questions, so I can share my answers:
1. "What on earth would you do in an emergency?" Call 911. Not to be flippant, but really, an ambulance can get to me faster than I could ever get to a hospital, car or no car. I carry a cell phone at all times.
2. "Is that trailer safe? I mean, really safe? What happens if you're in an accident?" See above answer. And I have looked our bikes and bike trailer over for any hidden terrors - and have found none so far. I don't believe there is any greater risk to biking with children than there is driving them in a car. The maximum speed I can hit on the bike (with trailer attached) is 21 MPH. Downhill. Our standard cruising speed is about 10MPH. In a car, driving on highways at 60-70MPH, steering a two ton vehicle surrounded by glass, fiberglass, and flammable materials in between other motorists doing the same is far more dangerous. And we don't wear helmets for that. And I avoid cars - strenuously - while on a bike. And I always assume they don't see me.
3. "I just don't have the time to take the bus. And forget a bike! I can't get to where I need to go doing what you're doing." I admit, this lifestyle has worked for us because I'm unemployed. It would be a challenge to get to a job, preschool, playdate, etc. on time but not impossible. It takes planning and some strategy. I see plenty of working moms with kids on the bus. I think we all forget that not everyone can afford a car - our family included. Living in a crap economy, in Seattle, on a single median salary - we really have to be car-free to keep our heads above water! I don't know how we afforded a car in the first place. Actually, having a car put us into some serious debt quicksand that we've only just managed to clamber out of.
4. "Don't you have to spend a lot of money on gear and tune-ups?" No. We got free tune-ups with the purchase of our bikes, and they've since gone in once for spring tune-ups. For both bikes and the trailer it cost just over $200. For three "vehicles." I'll have to do a rundown of our yearly costs on the anniversary post!
5. "It's cold out there. Are you crazy?" Yes. It is cold. But it's winter. And then spring, summer, autumn - I'm not afraid of weather like I used to be. I can now stand outside in a cold rain and wind and not shiver. Riding the bike in all weather has forced me to acclimate - and it's nice. I've discovered that I enjoy being outdoors. I enjoy feeling the pavement, or dirt, or gravel beneath my feet and wheels. Air feels good. Being uncomfortable ain't so bad. But if the weather is too severe, I certainly take the bus. Or we don't travel at all. I also dress myself in layers, and I bundle my daughter like we're about to race the Iditarod.
6. "How do you get groceries and all the stuff you need?" This is one of many reasons I love Seattle: Amazon Fresh. Anything you want from Amazon, delivered to your door, sometimes the same day! Groceries, sundries, you name it. Our weekly grocery shop takes me about 10 minutes online, and I can watch how much I'm spending so it's super easy to stay on budget. I can also step away from my desk and literally check the cupboards for what we need - so there's no "oops! forgot the ..." moments. A few clicks later, and the groceries show up on my doorstep within hours. I don't have to leave the house. (I do wish they'd start taking coupons, though). We also have been members of a CSA (community supported agriculture) called Full Circle Farm for several years. We get a weekly delivery of local, organic produce. It's cheaper, fresher, and tastier than shopping for it at the store. We do take a break from Full Circle during the summer, when our backyard garden produces what we eat and when it's fun to bike over to the West Seattle Farmer's Market. We also go to the store on the bike when we need to, but it's nice to save money, time and energy on using delivery.
7. "Isn't the bus scary?" Yes. Scary how late it always is. We definitely see lots of different people, hear different languages, and observe different attitudes on the bus. It's a very public way to get around town - so different from driving in a private car. So far, though, I haven't felt in danger on the bus, but we make sure to be safe and smart about where we're going and at what time of day. I've had lots of interesting conversations on the bus, and frequently recognize drivers and riders. But I always prefer to ride the bike over riding the bus.
8. "Aren't you scared of getting run over?" Of course! I was scared to sell off the Subaru and rely on a bike. When it comes down to it, a body on a bike is going to lose in an accident with a car. So it takes vigilance on every ride. Something like this:
The Bike Guy (Fred Armisen) on Portlandia. "Go vegan!" - Courtesy IFC
9. "You must be in great shape." Well, yes! I get my workout and transportation all in one go. No need for a tough gym workout when all you need to do is make sure you're running late for preschool on a morning with bad weather - that 3-mile slog uphill toting 50+ lbs. with the wind and rain in your face will hand you your ass better than any trainer. Just be sure to stretch afterwards.
10. "Are you going to get a car again in the future?" Not in the near future. I'd like to stay car-free forever, but I recognize this may get more difficult when our daughter starts kindergarten. And I rejoin the workforce. And life happens. Cars are a part of the landscape, whether we like it or not. I just hope our cities can learn to be more bike-friendly - with better infrastructure for public transit and more support and awareness for those of us without cars.

Sept. 22--Think you don't know -- or like -- bluegrass music? Think again. You've been exposed to it a lot more than you may realize.
'The Andy Griffith Show'
Anytime the Darlings came to town, viewers of "The Andy Griffith Show" were sure to get a healthy dose of good ole mountain bluegrass. The Darlings were really The Dillards, an already established bluegrass group from Missouri, plus actors Denver Pyle (Briscoe) and Maggie Peterson (Charlene). Some of the most memorable performances from the Dillards on the program include "Dooley," "Salty Dog" ("don't play it, Pa -- it makes Charlene cry!") and "Dueling Banjos" (more on that later).
'The Beverly Hillbillies'
Lester Flatt and North Carolina's own Earl Scruggs, who founded the bluegrass band The Foggy Mountain Boys, weren't just Granny's favorites; the legendary musical duo had a special place in the hearts of all Americans because of their frequent on-air visits to the Clampetts on "The Beverly Hillbillies." They also composed and performed the show's awesome theme song. "Come and listen to the story 'bout a man named Jed ..." The song reached No. 42 on the record charts in 1962. And now you're singing it out loud, aren't you?
'Bonnie and Clyde'
Speaking of Flatt & Scruggs, "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," originally released by The Foggy Mountain Boys in 1949, has been used in many movies, but none more famously than during a chase scene in "Bonnie and Clyde," the 1967 Oscar-winning film starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. Scruggs also performed the song live at the 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam in Washington.
Sometimes banjos are scary. Like when psychotic, inbred banjo-playing hillbillies are chasing someone through the woods to do unspeakable things to them. Like in "Deliverance," the 1972 film with Burt Reynolds and Ned Beatty. The movie has many memorable scenes. One of those we won't talk about. The other involves a rousing performance of the bluegrass song "Dueling Banjos." That version was plagiarized from "Feudin' Banjos," composed in 1955 by Charlotte's Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith. Smith had to sue to get credit and royalties for the song's use in the film.
'Hee Haw'
Technically an old-time country music variety show, "Hee Haw" showed plenty of respect to bluegrass and gospel music during its more than 20 years on the air. In the popular "Pickin' and Grinnin'" segment, co-hosts Roy Clark and Buck Owens played a dueling version of "Cripple Creek" on guitar (Owens) and banjo (Clark), which started with a hearty "I'm a-pickin'!" (Owens) ... "and I'm a-grinnin'!" (Clark). They paused several times throughout for some very corny jokes. Grandpa (Louis) Jones and David "Stringbean" Akerman also showed off mad banjo skills on the program.
'O Brother, Where Art Thou?'
Set in rural Mississippi during the Great Depression and featuring folk and bluegrass music -- much of it from Ralph Stanley -- "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000) owes its acclaim and popularity as much to the music as anything else. In the movie, characters played by George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson form a band called the "Soggy Bottom Boys" while on the run after escaping from prison. Their rendition of "Man of Constant Sorrow" (voiced by Dan Tyminski, Harley Allen and Pat Enright), never, ever gets old. The T-Bone Burnett-produced soundtrack, which included performances by Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch and John Hartford, won a Grammy in 2001.

Systems set up to protect the money of clients at the Hillsborough Association of Retarded Citizens or HARC, all failed. As a result, HARC freely raided a trust account containing clients' money to help the agency fund its everyday expenses and used up to $800,000 without the clients' knowledge or permission.
The clients' money spent by HARC consisted mostly of social security benefits and private donations.
HARC has since gone out of business and the clients' money will probably not be returned.
"This looks like misappropriation and a huge breach of fiduciary duty," Robinson said.
Elder law attorney Charles Robinson says Florida's attorney general needs to take a second look.
In November 2011, former HARC CFO Jane Frank told an investigator with the Attorney General's office that she discovered money was regularly withdrawn from the clients' trust account. Frank said the trust account only had $2500 in it. The account should have contained $380,000.
An 8 On Your Side investigation found clients' money at least partially paid for salaries and expensive perks for former CEO Richard Lilliston and CFO Frank Pannullo.
Among the perks, Lilliston and Pannullo each enjoyed an $1,800 dollar per month car allowance. Neither were authorized by HARC's board of directors.
According to HARC Foundation chair, Steven Brannock, HARC also paid for cell phones for members of Lilliston's family. Another unauthorized expense according to Brannock.
The A-G found no evidence of Medicaid fraud, client abuse, neglect or exploitation. It referred the case to the Florida Department of Financial Services.
Investigators determined the trust's wording allowed HARC to spend the clients' money.
"I don't see that, that's allowed at all. I would sure hope that the Attorney General would take a second look at this," Robinson said.
Robinson, reviewed the wording of the trust for News Channel 8. He found the money was only to be used for the supplemental care and needs of the clients, not to plug holes in HARC's budget.
"If they didn't maintain the trust for the beneficiary then I think there are huge legal questions that are raised that law enforcement, the Attorney General or somebody should really take a much closer look at," Robinson said.
Robinson suggested if the Attorney General is walking away from the case, the Hillsborough County State Attorney may have jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute any wrong doing.
"I think there has to be a very thorough investigation," said Deborah Linton, Executive Director of The Arc of Florida. The Arc of Florida is a statewide organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life for developmentally disabled people. HARC is not a member.
"I've never seen an organization overall take this amount of residents' funds and use it for themselves. It's pretty shocking and we're pretty disturbed about it," Linton said.
Linton points out there are safeguards in place to help prevent individuals or agency's from inappropriately spending clients' money.
She contends this type of massive money transfer should have shown up in HARC's annual audit.
"In the auditor's defense, I suspect that the so-called "pooled trust" just looked like another HARC bank account. It wasn't properly labeled as a trust account so that might well explain why it was overlooked, " Brannock explained in an email.
Linton says monitors with Florida's Agency for Persons with Disabilities, show up monthly in HARC's group homes. One of their responsibilities is to check clients' accounts.
"No one told us there was something fishy going on," APD spokesperson Melanie Etters said. APD monitors do visit HARC's group homes monthly.
"Our goal is to protect the health and safety of people in our care. Our monitors are checking the facility to make sure it is clean, that is has food and that nothing looks out of the ordinary," Etters said. She claims APD had a number of issues with HARC and turned them over to the proper authorities.
Linton says she reviewed a year's worth of APD monitoring reports on HARC and found issues.
"There are about three citations for lack of records or no resident funds available. So what happened when they discovered it on those occasions I don't really know. Did it stop there or did they do a further investigation? I really don't know," she said.
Social security also reviews how clients' money is spent.
"From the CPA, to the monthly monitoring by the agency (APD), to the social security reviews, I want to know why every system that I know that's supposed to be in place to help us prevent this didn't catch it," Linton said.
Linton points out developmentally disabled people living in group homes have little money to begin with.
"To make it okay to take their money, I can't imagine the ramifications. They have very little financial assets and to take that away from them is just unthinkable," she said.
Pannullo acknowledged that if the clients' money went into HARC's operating budget, it is likely that they helped pay for those pricey car allowances.
"I have absolutely no comment about HARC," Lilliston said when contacted by telephone.
Lilliston, a media darling, who wasn't shy about appearing on camera while at HARC, refused to answer his door when 8 On Your Side sought an explanation.
However as we left his Brooksville property, Lilliston tip toed from his house and peaked out from behind a tree.

The Annotated Ramsar List: Equatorial Guinea
The Annotated Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance
The Convention on Wetlands came into force for Equatorial Guinea on 2 October 2003. Equatorial Guinea presently has 3 sites designated as Wetlands of International Importance, with a surface area of 136,000 hectares.
site; date of designation; region, province, state; surface area; coordinates
site; date de désignation; région, province, état; superficie; coordonnées
sitios; fecha de designación; región, provincia, estado; área; coordenadas
Isla de Annobón.02/06/03; Annobón; 23,000 ha; 01°25'S 005°36'E. Nature Reserve. A small island with touristic importance, 6.5km by 3km, some 350km off the coast, all or some of which has been designated as a Nature Reserve for its large numbers of migratory birds and important vascular plants. Coral reefs, sandy or pebbly shores, intertidal flats, and at least one permanent lake are listed as the relevant wetland types, and the site is considered internationally important because of its vulnerable species as well as under both the waterbird and fish criteria. Traditional fishing, hunting, and subsistence agriculture are the principal human uses of the site. Ramsar site no. 1309. Most recent RIS information: ?.
Reserva Natural del Estuario del Muni. 02/06/03; Bata-Litoral; 80,000 ha; 01°13'N 009°45'E. Nature Reserve. Located in the mainland south, an area of estuaries and near-coastal highlands characterized by dense forest, inundated forest, and peat meadows. Secondary forest and mangroves are found around the mouths of the rivers Mitong, Mitemle, and Mbante or Mbané in the estuary of the Río Muni. Manatees, elephants, baboons, and migratory birds have an important presence. Traditional fishing, hunting, and subsistence agriculture are practiced, and disturbances caused by overhunting, overfishing, and forest exploitation are perceived as potential threats. A management plan is in preparation. Ramsar site no. 1311. Most recent RIS information: ?.
Río Ntem o Campo. 02/06/03; Bata-Litoral; 33,000 ha; 02°13'N 009°52'E. Nature Reserve. Located along the Ntem (or Campo) river, which forms the frontier with Cameroon in the nation's north, the site has been designated for the List because of its support for vulnerable or endangered species and because it is an important source of food for fishes or spawning ground, nursery and/or migration path on which fish stocks depend. Coastal stablization and flood control have been noted as important hydrological values. The work of the forestry industry is seen as a potential threat to the ecological character of the site. Ramsar site no. 1310. Most recent RIS information: ?.
[Note: The accession instrument of Equatorial Guinea was accompanied by minimal information about its three Ramsar sites, and the Secretariat is presently working with the Administrative Authority to provide more satisfactory data.]

The Liver
The liver is the largest organ inside your abdomen. It's found behind your ribs on the right side of your body.
The liver does important work to keep you healthy:
- It removes harmful substances from the blood.
- It makes enzymes and bile that help digest food.
- It also converts food into substances needed for life and growth.
The liver gets its supply of blood from two vessels. Most of its blood comes from the hepatic portal vein. The rest comes from the hepatic artery.

BELLEVUE, WI (WTAQ) - There's a new drug that's showing up in parts of the U.S. which has law enforcement concerned.
It's called Krokodil.
"It'll give you the same effects as heroin, it gives you a narcotic high, it's just as addictive, but its selling point is that it's cheap," says Brown County Sheriff's Lt. David Poteat. "Where heroin sells for, in this area, maybe $300 a gram or higher, you can get an injection of Krokodil for $6 to $8."
The "heroin substitute" has been seen in cases reported in the Chicago area and Phoenix. Its origin and heavy popularity is in Russia.
Krokodil, also known as Desomorphine, is generally made when you mix codeine with gasoline, lighter fluid or paint thinner.
Its devastating side effects include abscesses, gangrene and even skin falling off the bone.
With Wisconsin's growing heroin problem, and the trail of that opioid leading through Milwaukee and Chicago, Lt. Poteat believes it's only a matter of time before Krokodil crawls into the Badger State.
"There is a concern that maybe it's here already, and we just haven't realized it yet. That's why the public and those using injectable drugs need to realize this is out there," says Lt. Poteat. "I think as we get the information out there, if there is someone that is seeing skin problems that relate to that, they should see their doctor. And if it is occurring, I think we're gonna find out very quickly how far that's spreading."


text: If you've invested a lot of time in a relationship or a friendship, it's hard to say, "This just isn't working."Pastor Kerwin Lee has been helping couples strengthen their marriage and get through the rough patches for 20 years. But even he says that sometimes moving on may be the healthiest option for both of you.Lee, the pastor of Berean Christian Church in Stone Mountain, says some relationships are meant for an eternity and some are meant just for an event, or a time in our lives."Where we make a mistake is relationships that we were supposed for an eternity, we make them for an event. And relationships that we're supposed to have for just an event, we try to make them for a little bit longer," Lee said.Lee says sometimes we just grow apart and that's actually OK."Maybe we don't share the same core values, and it's just hard to think that things are going to change when you're both going in a different direction," Lee said.In workshops, Lee ask couples to try an exercise,"They must take their right leg and their left leg and take them in different directions and see how far they can go without it being painful. And it's the same way with a relationship. That if two people are going different directions, it won't be long before there's much pain," Lee said.But sometimes pain be a good thing because it can bring change. Lee says we can't correct what we can't confront, so be brutally honest about how you feel about the relationship."I think it's better to confront it in the early stages as opposed to pretending everything is OK," said Lee.If you're not sure how you feel, Lee says ask yourself one question:"Does this relationship cause me to live in an unhealthy way? And if it's going to continue that way, can I endure this? Or, is it best to just part ways?"The flipside to all of this is that sometimes - the rough patches - can actually strengthen your relationship.If you can't afford marriage counseling, a lot of faith communities offer workshops, or low cost -- even free -- counseling for couples.Lee says to make counseling work, you both have to be committed to making changes.

Reviews for Mom's Fried Fish
Sort By :
I used whole wheat saltines and this recipe came out so good. The golden brown crust was beautiful and delicious. I like swai so that was the fish I used.
I couldn't imagine making this without any seasoning, so I used some old bay and seasoned the egg mixture. Made excellent fish sandwiches.
This is the first time I have ever made fish. My six year old loved it and he is a very picky eater. This is a great recipe
da61, whitefish is flavorful enough that it doesn't require much in the way of seasoning. I'd serve this with lemon wedges and some grindings of pepper. Strongly-flavored herbs and/or spices would totally obliterate the delicate flavor of the fish.
Where's the seasoning in the fish. I can't imagine it having any flavor.

- awesome!!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/27/2014Loved everything @the evening! Service was spot on and the incredible food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BVonShraederDined on 9/27/2014Cute and trendy. Not an off the chart foodie experience. Beautifully composed with generous portions, but flavors fell flat. Wine and dessert were the winners here. Service was a bit lukewarm but tolerable.Special Features:
- PerfectcandicekroyDined on 9/26/2014Everything was amazing. It is now easily my favorite restaurant in Dallas. They serve seasonal fare, the drinks were spot on, the service was perfect and the ambiance was nice. Can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Severely disappointingKimberlyDined on 9/24/2014The service was impeccable, but 3 of 4 dishes were overly salty. The pork was not even edible. Based on reviews and the prices, I expected and wanted a great deal more. The food should have been excellent, but was not even acceptable.
- Just Go!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/24/2014Delicious food, great service, cool décor, interesting menu - you must go!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WOWWineGuyTomDined on 9/20/2014I'd eaten here about a year ago and I was thoroughly impressed then. I was equally impressed this time, if not more so. The food was impeccable, the service was amazing, and the drinks were delicious. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation and were seated immediately. We had a great time.Special Features:
- Amazing chef's tasting menuLoloMCDined on 9/19/2014Overall a spectacular experience. The food was wonderful and exciting. The service was great as well, but I do think the noise level takes away from it a bit. Had trouble hearing description of wines due to loud tables around us - obviously not the waitstaff's fault. But on that note, I did make a reservation well in advance and requested a semi-private table but was not given that. The hostess did acknowledge they received my request, but that it couldn't be accomodated. A little disappointing but oh well. The food made up for it. I'd never had squab before - just out of this world, my fave dish of the night. The only minor disappointment was the dessert - the plum, polenta & mascarpone. Cool atmosphere. Will go back for squab!Special Features:
- To go backJPKunnDined on 9/18/2014These is the place, when you like new Dishes each time you back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing tasting menuChortlesVIPDined on 9/17/2014Did the tasting menu and wine pairing - highly recommended! Lovely experience and the food was phenomenal. Delicate touch with excellent ingredients and superb flavors.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't dare modify - trying to hardSoozVIPDined on 9/16/2014It was very difficult for them to accommodate any kind of food allergy. I had to send the waitress back 2 times just to get a vegetable as a side. They came back with a wood block of a few random vegetables. A few peppers, a few pieces of okra, and onion and a couple of baby eggplant surrounded by puréed baby food.($18.00). My lump crab appetizer looked and tasted like a heavy mayonnaise chicken salad. I prefer a lump crab to be lump and not shredded. My friend's quail ragout was very good. Go here for the bar and drinks and head to Oak or Med Moth for food. They are trying to hard to be artistic. Tiny food (reminded me of 80's NYC) or sell as small plates... But really too pricey to be a small plate venue. Disappointed.
- Creativity at it's finestKimADined on 9/13/2014This is definitely a foodie spot. Where else can you get pig ears or have a dessert made with curry spices? It is a fun atmosphere, the service is excellent and the food is always good. Matt McCallister doesn't disappoint. The Wagu beef was melt in your mouth deliciousness. The lamb was outstanding and the pork short ribs were delicious as well. This is my third time year and the menu changes often, if not daily. Highly recommend it if you are up for a food adventure.Special Features:
- Will return time & time againOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/13/2014Our dinner was a true delight. Service was impeccable, food and overall experience was great! We look forward to going back time & time again. Definitely a local chef inspired experience without being stuffy. Loved it! Nicole was wonderful and so was Erik.Special Features:
- Worst service I've ever hadDallasfoodieDined on 9/12/2014We had a 915 reservation and were seated at 1045, the manager did not even offer us a drink or tell us what was going on.. We were the only people at the bar and it took 30 minutes and ordering 3 times for any of us to egg a drink and we didn't get most until we sat down! I eat out 5/week and have never had such horrible service. To sum it up- a bartender who cannot tend a bar, a hostess who can't host and a manager who can't manage. The server was nice and pretty good and agreed with us about the rest of the staff. Sad. Please leave Dallas.
- SaltyOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/12/2014All menu courses -- including dessert -- went from salty to super salty. Very disappointing. Only bright spot was the waiter who gave us a great recommendation on an off menu wine.Special Features:
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/12/2014Didn't live up to all the reviews I'd read. Although inventive, the food was not particularly good. And, as other reviewers commented, the price/portion ratio is not in line. In some courses, the miniscule amount of the key ingredient (pig ears for example) resulted in its loss to the dish as a whole. We don't mind dropping $$$ on good food and wine, but this was not. Also, the tables are so close together, we spent most of our time forced to listen in on the conversations around us! One and only visit to FT33.Special Features:
- Surprise FT 33 is really goodVernDined on 9/11/2014We enjoyed our meal here very much and would go back. There were four of us and we all enjoyed the meal. The presentation of the food is interesting. The combinations of tastes is where the surprise comes. Expect to spend around 75.00 to 100.00 per person or more if you get a bottle of wine. The menu changes often but the night we went everything was good. The restaurant was full the night we went but noise level did not interfere with conversation at table. The deserts were also a delight. We got four different ones and everyone was happy. FT 33 is a good choice if you want to be surprised think you'll enjoySpecial Features:
- Great find!FT33Dined on 9/10/2014FT33 is a great place with an amazing staff and menu. The bartenders offered great cocktails and a wide variety of bourbon (my drink). The servers were timely and extremely knowledgeable. The food was amazing - fresh, interestingly combined and very unique. Everyone at my table got something different and each loved it all. I would say definitely worth the trip. I will recommend to all my friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best meal in Dallas!Ash1eyjamesDined on 9/9/2014My girlfriend and I visited FT33 a few nights ago and had such an incredible time! We had the chefs tasting menu & wine pairings and were both blown away by the creativity, presentation and flavour combinations of every dish. Our waiter Alex was clearly very passionate about his job and obviously very knowledgable about the food & wine. He was informative, helpful and definitely made the evening more enjoyable for us. Our experience was easily the best we've had in Dallas!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Imnteresting view/Dry WagyuMarkTDined on 9/6/2014We sat the chef's table and had a wonderful view of the kitychen. Very interesting. The first course was very well presented and was fairly tasty. I had the Wagyu beef...and one would expect that it would be tender/moist/flavorful, not so much.Special Features:
- LuiluiDined on 9/6/2014The menu looked awful online, and we almost cancelled because of the weird-sounding entrees. Went anyway because it was too late to find another place to dine. Restaurant was easy to find, and it had a welcoming atmosphere. Waiter was very helpful in explaining the menu, and the 4 of us each found something different that we ended up liking very much despite it being such a limited menu. The only negative is the cacophony which lasted from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, due to poor acoustics. I don't like to shout at my dining partners when I eat out, but we were left with no alternative. As indicated above, I would recommend the restaurant but would warn my friends about the noise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExceptionalDoctorja1Dined on 9/6/2014Charming Exceptional Resturant, excellent food and service! I will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable EveningsouthsideeaterVIPDined on 9/5/2014My daughter and I dined at FT33 to celebrate her birthday on a Friday evening. We started at the cozy bar with a delicious julep cocktail. The food was well crafted and innovative. We especially enjoyed that the menu works well for sharing items. The sprouted grain and lamb tartare beginnings were delicious as were our Kobe beef and gnocchi mains. Tables are close together, but this adds to the conviviality of the restaurant and allows a sneak peek at what others have ordered. Would definitely return - next time during the week when the tasting menu is available.Special Features:
- Food continues to delightTearoseDined on 9/5/2014On our 3rd visit we continued to enjoy the food and presentation. Unfortunately, the service was not at the level of our first two visits. On those visits the service was superior. On this third visit, the service was good, but not at that superior level.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yes yes oh yesTesskyDined on 9/3/2014This place was fantastic. Very romantic; great place for special occasions or a foodie type of night : )Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wasn't that impressed with it.SouleroVIPDined on 9/2/2014I wasn't that impressed with what I paid for. The dishes were amazing, don't get me wrong, but the amount per dish and what came out I expected more. The service was on point, the atmosphere was great but I left wanting more food. SMALL portions for heafty price. Will not be going back.Special Features:
- Lovely celebrationOuttocelebrateDined on 9/2/2014We had a lovely anniversary. The food was an adventure and tasted so delicious that you hated to finish it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wineguyDined on 8/30/2014Total 5 star experience. One of the best desserts ever. Service was perfect in all aspects.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply Amazing Food & ServiceLynnVVIPDined on 8/30/2014If you want creative, fresh, unique dining dinner options this is the restaurant for you. The menu has limited options, however, there was something for everyone in our diverse group. The flavors and combinations were unique and perfect together. Our server was engaging, knowledgeable and a true professional. He explained every dish in detail and was attentive without being intrusive. We love restaurants that use local ingredients and have changing menus to keep us interested and open to trying new things. The craft cocktails were creative and tasted amazing!Special Features:
- Ft33 ExcelsRhendyDined on 8/29/2014The menu offers dishes with unique combinations of ingredients which offer a complexity of flavors that excite the palate. Our waitress clearly described in detail the ingredients and preparation of each dish. It was obvious she relished each dish in her description reflecting her own enjoyment of them. .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific restaurantSczsaVIPDined on 8/29/2014This was our first visit to FT33 but it won't be our last. We were seated as soon as we arrived for our OT reservation. The wait staff was very attentive - even after the restaurant became quite busy. My spouse and I shared the lamb tartar appetizer. It was spectacular - just the right amount of seasoning and acid. Spouse had the fish of the day and I had the pork short ribs. It was some of the best pork I have eaten. The accompanying relish of roasted corn was perfect. No room for dessert but the wine suggested by our waitress was right on the spot and reasonably priced. This place is a gem.Special Features:
- 411jfkDined on 8/28/2014After eating at FT33 you know you've experienced something exceptional. The atmosphere is casual sophistication. The food is creative but most importantly it is delicious and satisfying. Portions are perfect. It is apparent the staff is sincerely cares about what comes out of the kitchen, the bar and the service. Definitely coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday CelebrationJoeandTraciDined on 8/28/2014Great service, very nice atmosphere and amazing food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Interesting food great servicejspdallasDined on 8/27/2014Cocktails were terrific. Crab and corn dish knocked me over. Wendy chicken was superb. Service could not be better. Wine paring was perfect. Dessert was the best I've had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Must Have BradJEFFERYJPVIPDined on 8/23/2014The food is great, but I return to a restaurant for service. I have never received better service than from Brad. If I make a reservation, I call the day of to ensure Brad will be my server. If not, I cancel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best meal I've ever had in Dallas!Heybud3Dined on 8/23/2014Unreal on every level. Service/ambiance/menu diversity - all excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- hOLD THE NOISEoutoftownerDined on 8/23/2014When the Greeter seated me just inside the entrance, I was slightly annoyed, since the majority of patrons were well in the back of the restaurant, by the open kitchen. Since mine was an early seating, there was a large gap with empty tables. What started out as a lively background noise of diners enjoying the experience (and yes, the food and wine are all they are said to be), became a mostly unpleasant roar by the time I left the restaurant. Bring ear plugs!Special Features:
- Great dinner spothguren1Dined on 8/23/2014FT33 is a real gem in the Design District. Not only great drinks but superb food created by a creative chef.Special Features:
- Great Food!DogLadyDined on 8/23/2014The food was outstanding and the service was wonderful. Our waiter was there when needed but did not hover. Because we dined early, we were able to sit at the chef's table and watch all the action in the kitchen. The menu is not extensive but everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. The pork ribs were just outstanding! It is not inexpensive but I feel it was worth the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre-Play DinnerLove2EatVIPDined on 8/23/2014As always FT33 continues to blow us away each and every time we dine here. The service is outstanding, the menu is so unique and the food is some of the best we have ever had. The short ribs were honestly some of the best meat we have ever eaten in our lives. I do not know how Chef McCallister does this, I think he is a food magician!! If you have never eaten at FT33, it is a must, put it on your restaurant "Bucket List"!Special Features:
- Oasis in the Dallas dining dessertZOODOCVIPDined on 8/22/2014We have visited FT33 multiple times - including a large late-night party that we hosted - and they never have failed to make us welcome from reservation to departure. More importantly, the food has never been less than stellar! Innovative and spot-on each visit, the culinary expertise matches the large stack of cookbooks placed as part of the space divider between the bar and kitchen. It is a brief menu with each night having six items or so but we have never had trouble finding an amazing option - in fact, usually, it is hard to decide! Wines range from comfortable options to the out of usual so that you can be as adventurous as you wish. Well done all - and look forward to our next visit...Special Features:

An incomplete "sentience"
Nov 25, 2008
By Steve Cornett
This animal rights thing has been on my mind since Proposition 2 passed in California. I'm not sure you can go to the bank with the thoughts of Peter Seeger (
), who is a longtime animal rights icon.
However, he was awful pleased to see so many Californiacs vote his way on confinement. It is not insignificant that, in that same election, the same voters passed a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriages. So this was not a particularly liberal electorate on social matters.
Proposition 2 does not directly affect the beef business. The initial impact is on pigs and poultry, so our more myopic peers in the cattle industry might be pleased to see roadblocks thrown in the path of efficient production practices employed by the competition.
But if you read Mr. Seeger's thoughts, you'll notice he sees these no-crate laws as the first few steps in the long journey toward a future in which animals are no longer "property."
He and his fellow thinkers see animal agriculture as the moral equivalent of slavery.
Those of us with a more traditional view of things, disagree strongly, of course. Certainly we have the bible on our sides, but one doubts Mr. Seeger looks to the bible for his moral guidance.
These folks have developed, from whole cloth, a new ethic that attempts to create some sort of moral equivalency with anything they regard as "sentient."
They define "sentient" as the ability to feel pain. But sentience without sapience—the ability to reason at least a bit—is an incomplete "sentience." A cow walking up the slaughter line is no more stressed than she would be loading into a trailer to be hauled to greener pastures.
Because she has a human—a sapient human smart enough to outwit wolves and set hay aside for the winter--the cow has lived a darned pleasant life, given her level of sentience. She has plenty to eat. She and her calves are protected from predators. It's a good life; and then, with a thump, it ends.
Much more painlessly, it must be noted, than nature ends the lives of prey species in its care. Take the cow out of the pasture and replace her with a wild creature which will starve or die with his belly ripped out by a pack of predators and how have you improved the world? How have you lessened the suffering of the beasts of the field?
I would measure sentience the same way the joke says to measure true love: Lock your dog and your wife in the barn for a day and see which one is really happy to see you when you return. See which one holds a grudge. That is sapience and it is what allows humans to know there is no free lunch. Cows don't know that. They don't know we're seeing to their every whim because we want to eat their children. They just know life is good.
Seems to me that the whole business of morals and ethics—religion aside—is based on a mutual compact between equals. I agree not to take human life and covet your ass because you agree not to take human life and covet my ass. There's not, if you don't count religion, much other reason for me not to thump you atop the head and take your stuff and your wife, if she's a good one. And make your kids slaves that I can send out to feed cattle on cold days.
But we've got a set of ethics that says we won't do that stuff. It holds because it is mutually beneficial.
I don't see how you carry that over to animals. They can't make any such contract beyond what we—we humans—teach them..
Let's say, for instance, that I take my gun and tell you, "Come here. I want to give you a cookie and shoot you in the head." You'll say, "Well, gosh, no thanks." That's because you are not only sentient but sapient.
But offer my dog the same deal and here he comes, all happy and stuff. Don't tell me he's sentient. He's dumb as a dog. He doesn't know not to chase trucks on the highway. He's got no sapience, and we shouldn't treat him as if he does. Not for our sake nor his.
The argument made, the fact is that Mr. Seeger is right. His side is winning, and the boundaries of what constitutes "animal cruelty" in the modern ethic are constantly expanding. I can't, personally, find any moral bedrock for those changes to build upon.
But that doesn't seem to matter to the many urbanites who no longer have a dog in the fight over animal welfare and who seem to believe dogs shouldn't fight to begin with.

Shoot, who would have tohghut that it was that easy?
3:52 PM Sep 22nd
not really worried about the spelling of seeger/singer. the point is animals were created as a food source weither it be for humans or other animals. Any living thing deserves not to be cruelly mistreated, but confinement production is a part of the present day food chain. If you are raised in a cage that is how the world is. Being an animal you do not even have that thought. The sad part of our present day society is that you can not kill a horse but you can kill an unborn child. Premies are a blessing just like a full term child.

I am a proud American Farmer,we Farmers have a great Heritage in this Country. I'm ashamed of this article,the talk of thumping one over the head to covet a woman and children or the talk of shooting a Being to make a point. Has degraded us to knuckle dragging Homo sapiens. We are more than this....Come on AgWeb, clean it up!

I am abashed. Of course, Peter Seeger was the singer; Peter Singer is the animal writer. Seeger=singer; Singer=writer. I got it now.
6:12 PM Nov 25th
Dude... it's Peter Singer. Look at the byline in the article you quoted, for crying out loud.
5:11 PM Nov 25th
I am a livestock producer and I worry about the animal rights people making it difficult to make a living. However, I also believe in humane treatment of animals. If those that are yelling so loud for their rights to raise swine and or chickens in any mannner they see fit are willing to spend an equal amount of time confined in a similar manner, I will never say another word. Just because a chicken or a hog can't voice a complaint does not mean they are comfortable and content.
5:07 PM Nov 25th
Animals have NO Rights....they do deserve proper humane care. A happy animal is a productive animal....to bad the animal huggers have not figured it out. I know a person who has 12 dogs and 6 cats living in a camping trailer, with them!....now that is inhumane treatment of animals!

Half-Minute Hero Review (PSP)
Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), Feb 08, 2010 10:45
It sounds like the game would be really short no? 30 seconds and it's win or lose. But Rising Star, Marvelous and XSeed have cleverly put in multiple levels each which you have only thirty seconds to solve. You are able to do things like rewind time so a level can take a couple minutes and there are loads of levels to play through.
First off, the cut scenes and visual, outside of actually playing the game, are some amazing anime-style graphcs. Then when you get into the game itself, you're looking at an NES 8-bit era game. It made me chuckle because I was expecting something completely different. That's not to say the graphics are bad, well, yes they are. But they work and they work extremely well. It's almost as if this title was resurrected and instead of changing form just changed its clothes.
The humor in the game is reminiscent of the All Your Base Are Belong to Us of Zero Wing. Great sayings like "You got sexier at the Goddess Spa" will surely come into use in the near future across the Internet.
The game has several different games in it including an adventure game, RTS (like Rochambeau with units), scrolling shooter and more. They all intertwine and characters from one become the main character or show up in others. So far I have finished Princess and EvilLord and am partly through Hero. There are three games to unlock including Knight but I haven't been able to unlock them yet. It's a lot of game!
The sound in the game is also retro 8-bit era with some better quality music. The sounds of battle are exactly as you would expect from the look and atmosphere of the game. However, the music is epic. It changes as you play, has some full, rich sounds and really helps keep your attention on the game.
As you play through the Hero levels you'll pick up loads of equipment that will help you overcome levels and there are things akin to side quests on some levels but with only 30-seconds at a time you need to keep an eye on the clock.
One of the drawbacks to the game is the lengthy dialog that accompanies every single level. You can skip over them fairly quickly but then at the end of each level you have to scroll through the game's credits. Again, this can be sped up, but really, every level? Come on XSeed, that's just excessive.
Overall, Half Minue Hero will bring you hours of old-school game play in a great anime-inspired wrapper. I've been playing for almost 8 and a half hours. Considering each level is 30-90 seconds each, that's a lot of levels (30 Princess, 30 EvilLord and maybe 50 Hero, plus the others yet to be unlocked). The price is only $22 (from $30) at Amazon , $20 at Ebgames.com and certainly seems like a good investment for those who long for the days of the NES and SNES.
The game is set to launch in Europe on February 12th.

It was very clean and within walking distance to many stores and restaurants. They did not supply breakfast but left a basket of snacks. The rooms were very nice and colorful. A little noisy outside but not bad when you close the window. Personally I always sleep with earplugs so it didn't bother me :) On the negative side, it was very difficult to find and the directions were not detailed. They said it's a close walk from the port, but it's more like 20. 30 minutes because we were lost!

Arizona Cardinals
New Cardinals QB Hoyer learning as fast as he can
When the Arizona Cardinals signed quarterback Brian Hoyer off of waivers Monday, they did so because they anticipated placing Kevin Kolb on injured reserve later in the week.
A fourth-year pro out of Michigan State, Hoyer has played in 13 NFL games -- all with the New England Patriots -- completing 27-of-43 passes for 286 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
The Cardinals were looking for depth -- and maybe another option -- at the position. Hoyer, who was most recently with the Pittsburgh Steelers, is just glad to get a chance.
"For me, I'm just trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can," Hoyer said of his goal going forward.
The 27-year-old said his time with the Steelers will help, as their offensive coordinator, Todd Haley, once held the same position in Arizona.
"I was only there for three weeks," he cautioned. "I was just starting to pick that stuff up."
As for playing, Hoyer said that decision is up to the coaches and he's not going to worry about it. That said, he would of course like to get a chance.
"Anyone wants to play," he said, adding he really never got a chance to play when he was in New England. "As a competitor you want to be on the field, so whatever opportunity is presented to me I want to make sure I'm as ready as I can be."
