Diplomatic notifications 2010
The secretariat of the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971) communicates officially with the governments of the Contracting Parties (or Member States) by means of formal notifications through diplomatic channels, usually directed to each government's permanent mission to the United Nations in Geneva or some similar official contact specified by the Contracting Parties. Copies of diplomatic notifications are also sent to the "administrative authority", the agency within each Party's government that is charged by the head of state or foreign office with implementation of the Convention in that country.

When a new baby arrives, most parents start looking forward to the day he or she sleeps through the night, or is toilet trained, or old enough to say "Mommy." Kelly Clarkson , however, is looking forward to something much simpler from her new baby daughter, River Rose .
"Is it weird that I wait every day to hear my little baby laugh?" she tweeted . "I just really want to hear her giggle and all I get are quirky smiles :)"
River Rose, the first child for Kelly and her husband, Brandon Blackstock , arrived June 12. Kelly shared a photo of the baby on Twitter on June 20, calling her, "the greatest thing on the planet." Brandon has two children from a previous marriage.

Jordan Super.Fly 2 "Bel Air"
September 22nd, 2013 by Aaron Hope | 1 comment
The number of Jordan Brand Holiday 2013 releases featuring a look inspired by a certain 1990s sitcom has now surpassed the number of seasons that show ran. The latest addition is this Jordan Super.Fly 2 in the 'Bel Air' colorway, a style we'd seen before with its bright accents not quite hitting that mark. But with these new images today, we see the bold multicolor pattern that's common to the sockliner of all seven of these drops, which doubles the performance oriented offerings as paired alongside the new Prime.Fly.

Looks cheaply made and you can already see right there in the front left of the toe box where these will most likely crease. I could be wrong. Too much blk though. No thanks.

The problem with survival games
Have you ever seen Survivorman? It's a documentary series about a guy called Les Stroud who spends a week in the world's most inhospitable places—deserts, rainforests, tundras—and survives with only the clothes on his back. Fakers like Bear Grylls have doctors on hand, camera crews, and cosy hotels to return to after filming, but Stroud does it all for real—and films everything himself. It's really good TV, and I promise that after you watch the first episode you'll be hooked.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Eight Wisconsin baby whooping cranes are just one day away from arriving at their winter migration home in Florida. Operation Migration said the birds, led by a pair of ultra-light pilots, were rained out of their final flight yesterday to Saint Mark's National Wildlife Refuge. That's where they'll spend the rest of the winter mating with other birds, in an ongoing effort to boost populations of the endangered whooping crane in the Eastern U-S.
This is the 13th year that Operation Migration has conducted the migration flights from Wisconsin to Florida. The Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership joined the project a couple years ago. That group was planning to have eight additional cranes fly to Florida, with the help of other birds which made the trip in the past. However, the group was delayed leaving the Horicon Marsh in the fall.
Three cranes died from the cold, and five others were at various stages of their trips at last word. The Operation Migration group has spent 93 days flying through seven states. They spent a wet New Year's Day in Leon County Florida.

Enjoy some good one-liners and bits from your favorite late-night comedians.
"Some park rangers in California found a plot on which someone grew 500,000 pounds of marijuana. They assume this pot was grown by humans, but I wouldn't rule out bears. Think about it: They sleep three months a year, all you ever see them doing is rummaging through the trash trying to find food, and their leader's name is Smokey." –Jimmy Kimmel
"A man in Colorado wants marijuana to be classified as a vegetable. I just have to say that that's an ingenious way to get Americans to stop smoking pot." –Conan O'Brien
"Michelle Obama's new initiative is to fight obesity through hip-hop. She hopes it goes better than the previous initiative – fighting marijuana use through reggae." –Conan O'Brien
"As part of her anti-obesity campaign, First Lady Michelle Obama is releasing a hip hop album. The name of the album is Fat Beats for Fat Kids.'" –Conan O'Brien

What health care ruling means to you
As a result of the Supreme Court's decision, the individual mandate stands, and insurance companies will be required to sell coverage to everyone, regardless of medical history.
This post comes from Louise Radnofsky at partner site The Wall Street Journal.
The Supreme Court said Congress was acting within its powers under the Constitution when it required most Americans to carry health insurance or pay a penalty. It upheld the mandate as a tax, in an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts.
But the justices found fault with part of the health care law's expansion of Medicaid, a joint federal-state insurance program for the poor. The justices made some changes to the Medicaid portion of the law. (Post continues below.)
Q: Does this mean the health overhaul law is in place for good?
A: The decision effectively upholds the law for now, but its future depends on which party controls the White House and Congress after elections in November. President Barack Obama and most Democrats consider the law a signature achievement and want to move forward implementing it. Republicans, including presumptive presidential nominee Mitt Romney, have pledged to overturn it. They say they would offer an alternative proposal but haven't been specific about what it would include.
Q: What happens to any benefits I already get because of the law?
A: They will stay in place for now. Parents will still be able to keep their children on their insurance plans up to age 26, and Medicare recipients will keep getting discounts on prescription drugs to close a gap in coverage known as the "doughnut hole." New levies under the law, such as the 10% tax on tanning services, also stay put.
Q: When will I see the big changes from the law?
A: Most of the mandates don't start until 2014. That is when most Americans will be required to carry insurance or pay the penalty at issue in the Supreme Court case. The penalty will start at $95 a year or up to 1% of a person's income, whichever is greater.
Tens of millions of Americans are expected to get insurance coverage under the system that starts in 2014. Some of the poorest Americans will become newly qualified to enroll in the federal-state Medicaid program -- although the court appeared to make some changes to how that program will work. Another batch of people who earn more but still have low incomes will get tax credits to offset their insurance costs. Consumers will be able to comparison shop for policies in newly created exchanges that will operate like popular online travel websites.
Insurance companies will have to sell coverage to everyone, regardless of their medical history, and will have to restrict how much they vary premiums based on age. Companies with 50 workers or more will be required to offer insurance to their workers or pay a penalty.
Q: What if I already have insurance?
A: You may see changes to your plan. Unless your employer has "grandfathered" your insurance benefits' structure, your plan will have to meet new regulations under the law, such as covering more preventive services without out-of-pocket costs. There has been speculation that some employers will stop offering coverage and funnel workers toward exchanges once they open, but most companies say they have no immediate plans to do that.
Q: What will happen to my insurance premiums?
A: Most consumers can expect to keep seeing increases in premiums and co-payments because the underlying cost of health care is expected to rise. The law contains a few mechanisms to curb premiums, but it also requires that many insurance providers make their benefits more generous, which will raise their cost. Older people could see their premiums go down because of the new age rating rules insurers will face. People who buy policies without the help of an employer could get a better deal by being able to shop on the exchanges, where comparing plans will be easier than before.
More from The Wall Street Journal and MSN Money:
Get ready to stand in line at the doctors office for hours (still may not see a doctor and you have to come back tomorrow) and book a stay in your hospital several months in advance like you would a hotel.
Mark these words..it will happen. Just give it a couple of years....if the law stands as is.
I don't see anything wrong with asking people to pay for services they are currently receiving for free. Right now anyone can just stroll into their local hospital and get treated. The bill goes unpaid and the cost of healthcare is passed on to us all. Increasing our insurance premiums or increasing hospital charges to cover the poor or irresponsible.
Now people have to get insurance to cover themselves. So what! How unAmerican is that??!!
I dont want to pay more for my healthcare services to cover those without insurance. So pay up just like I do every pay period.
Obama is the first president actually trying to change this crappy healthcare system!! This crappy immigration system, the student loan mess, and housing crisis. Other people have been rich spoon fed people that dont even understand what is wrong with this system... they just want to continue giving tax breaks to the super wealthy.. and keep oil flowing... regardless of how we have to go to war with to get it!
Liberals...pause your stupid celebrations and think with your financial brain.
Is it not right to have people pay their own way in his world? you want a better place to live? Pay for it. You want a better pair of shoes? Pay for them.
So it follows that all should pay their own way. Including healthcare recipiants, prisoners, welfare recipiants, everybody.
Yes, prisoners should help pay for their own cost of incarceration. They rack up a bll, when they get out start to pay it back. Just like college. Health care recipiants who use medical services that create a bill, then thye should get on a re-payment plan and work towards paying it off. People on welfare should be drug tested and positively ID with a retinal scan, then do some sort of [governmet] work, or get more education to help pay back their debt.
Big government should never be the crutch that it is today for people.
Immigration? Close all borders. Deport all illegals. Everybody get in line if you wat to legally get into this country. Never give money or servces to people who come here illegally. Law enforcement should be able to ask anyone for their passport/ID/documents at anytime.

The Hennepin County Library Board met on Wednesday, June 25, 1997 at the Champlin Community Library.

Louise Wyly
Bob Zaragoza
| C.Brown, T.Bonner, S. Charles, D.Cramer, L.Engberg, J.Kinney,
C. Muchow, J. Friedrich, S. Smith, C. Ahrens, B. Berg.
|Josephine Nunn (Secretary to Friends of Champlin Library) Mary White (Office of Budget and Finance/Henn. County)
Vice President Cole called the meeting to order and welcomed all guests.
Motion was made by Dick Mueller to approve the May 28, 1997 meeting minutes; seconded by Louise Wyly. Motion passed.
Vice President Cole welcomed Ms. Josephine Nunn who greeted everyone on behalf of the Champlin Friends.
Jack Cole reported that some policies will be presented at the July 9 Ways & Means Committee; they will then be progressed to the August 6 Library Board meeting for approval.
P. Baskin reported on the June meeting: 1) 1998 budget--no library closings, no collection cuts, looked at ways to stay within budget to eliminate cuts, need for staff training, would like to see collection budget at 20%; 2) capital budget update from Mary White; 3) Information Services Policy was approved for vote at the 6/25 full meeting.
Charles Brown reported on recent Administrative Committee meeting budget discussion options. Library Board members will receive three documents for the July 9 Ways & Means Committee meeting: 1) Option A--revised copy of scenarios previously presented to Library Board, need to identify $1.7 million, 46 fewer positions, reduction in collection budget, $107,000 in miscellaneous reductions; 2) Option B--fewer visible reductions and still meets the 95% guidelines ($1.7 million), not as obvious to the public; 3) $30 million "desired" budget--significant collection and staffing increase.
Dick Mueller requested that all three documents be transmitted to him electronically so that he could work with the figures.
[Meeting was turned over to President Marilyn Jackson.]
M. Jackson noted how important it is for Board members to respond to staff requests for budget action as budget is finalized. Also, as budget is prepared, need to develop a message that goes with it, something that is well-founded, that represents how Board feels about the budget choices, that demonstrates a need; need to use data more effectively.
L. Wyly requested that when Library Board members miss meetings, action taken at the missed meeting needs to be relayed to absent members prior to production of the minutes. Following discussion, it was recommended by B. Zaragoza that Board members will take the responsibility for contacting absent members to update them.
C. Brown reported that one of the budget proposals will again include furlough days--description of furlough days means that facilities are closed and staff takes leave without pay. A description of "commodities" is supplies and forms.
C. Brown presented background of the resolution requesting libraries not open until 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 25, 1997, to allow a Staff Development [half] Day.
D. Mueller moved approval of delayed opening of 2:00 p.m. on 9/25/97 to allow staff to attend the Staff Development Day; P. Baskin seconded. Following discussion, there was unanimous approval of the resolution.
Previously presented and discussed at the June Ways & Means Committee meeting. J. Cole moved adoption of the policy, seconded by L. Wyly. Comment on how mission included in the Policy will compare with new mission being discussed--C. Brown noted that changes will be made to the Policy when mission is revised. Policy was approved.
President: M. Jackson reported on budget advocacy--she met with T. Bonner & C. Brown to discuss strategy, budget message and preparing an outline of the message. To carry this message forward a group of advocates, members of Friends groups, will be organized with assistance from the Library Board. Carol Walsh has volunteered to organize advocacy meetings with Friends groups; Dick Mueller will help to develop the data and graphics that will illustrate the message; then through Marketing & Development material will be pulled together into a PowerPoint presentation (in varying time lengths).
Events: B. Zaragoza reviewed the listing of upcoming events for Library Board members: 7/9 Ways & Means, 8/6 Library Board, 8/12 or 8/26 requested dates for County Board Briefing, 8/13 Retreat, 9/25 Staff Development Day.
C. Brown mentioned the plan to hold a combined Library Board/Foundation Board breakfast with Commissioners to discuss budget issues; Library Board members are supportive of a joint meeting.
MELSA/Metronet: Jack Cole reported that the new MELSA Director, Jim Wroblewski, will be attending a future Library Board meeting as part of his orientation. Reciprocal borrowing fees were approved for member libraries; payment to be made by June 30, 1997. Trustees allocated the final portion of a federal grant of $80,700. MELSA website will be improved and expanded (in conjunction with Metronet). Talk has begun on moving MELSA offices to the same building as Metronet and MLA offices to improve communications. J. Cole attended Metronet's "Capitalizing on Collaboratives"--recognizing 14 programs; HCL took part in about 4 of the collaboratives: Great Transitions, Kids Connection, Read Every Chance You Get, Read to Me While You're in Prison. M. Jackson congratulated the library Staff for their work on the recognized projects.
Art Initiative: P. Baskin reported on the Pen Pals author lecture series sponsored by the Library Foundation. No Art Committee meeting has been held since last Board report.
Member Reports:
Carol Walsh noted that September 27 is the date selected for the trustee training workshop at the Roseville Library; theme is "working together."
Dick Mueller asked about MPL Board minutes and reports of incidents and asked if HCL has similar experiences. C. Brown reported that HCL is very fortunate to not have the same level of problems. Notation of the Bill Gates donation to libraries.
Louise Wyly attended the Rockford Road open house.
C. Brown reported on various library activities: Carolyn Gallagher, consultant/Search Conference, made her final report at the end of May; library plans to take the four identified areas as focus for future planning: Funding, Technology, Telling the Story, and Diversity. Strategic alignment effort will be the structure that will make the four initiatives in the planning process possible; a facilitator/consultant has been hired (Susan DeVogel), with a 2-prong approach.
Ridgedale: Held a total of 9 meetings relating to the Ridgedale project, 6 public and 3 for staff. Public meetings were not well attended. Bid opening is July 1. Relocation move is scheduled shortly after Labor Day in September. Marilyn Jackson reported that she had just received a call from Commissioner Tambornino who had received a call complaining about the Ridgedale project. Patron name will be given to Patti Baskin to contact, then will ask library staff to follow up with Commissioner.
C. Brown is continuing staff unit meetings; the entire Management Team has undergone QP training; Judith Krug visit to MPL to speak; ALA is expecting Communications Decency Act decision soon.
Mission/Values/Vision: Hope to print in the Staff Newsletter and wanted to share the document prepared by a special staff team with the Library Board prior to publishing; request for comments from Library Board. J. Cole had a question about the Values--for public or staff? Values are identified as way staff deals with each other, primary focus is for staff. D. Mueller recommended revision to Mission statement: "The Hennepin County Library System is composed of 26 public libraries which promote full and equal access to information and ideas by encouraging the love of reading, the joy of learning and engagement with the arts, sciences and humanities." [Mission statement should define what it is and what it is doing.] Vision: "Library collections that are broad in scope...."--too many "ands." Values: Creativity--"We strive to be creative;" Customer Service--"We provide outstanding service to the Hennepin County community and colleagues from other libraries;" Diversity--"We strive to .....;" Respect--"Regardless of our classification, we are accountable to the taxpayers of Hennepin County and to our co-workers;" Trustworthiness--"We listen openly to people's ideas, regardless of their position[.]" delete "in the organization" . C. Brown reported that a note will go out with the Values as a reminder to staff that these are not necessarily the way things are today, but they are goals we hope to achieve, what we want to be.
Activities/Programs: L. Engberg displayed the third of three Twins posters produced by the Minnesota Library Association--featuring Kirby Puckett. The HCL Friends groups have donated almost $6,000 to library flood relief; including non-monetary examples such as the Champlin Friends who donated three boxes of children's books. ENS (electronic notification system) update on the test which is working well--plans to roll out for the system soon. Overview of statistics; increased use of volunteers which is up 28% over 1996.
Champlin Community Library: Sharyll Smith, Champlin librarian, welcomed everyone to the library. She noted that Champlin has a small town flavor with a definite growth pattern; the fourth panel of the stained glass windows was dedicated this spring; marketing of the Champlin Library has been done through Father Hennepin Days and use of the "bookworm."
Charlotte Site Visit: Sharon Charles noted that the report was mailed out prior to the meeting so the program would be an overview. Key concept of the visit: for more information on technology with focus on the technology center, which was changed from one center to a "software map." The software map for the Independence Regional Library was distributed and reviewed. Video of visit was presented.
[Meeting was turned over to Vice President Jack Cole.]
Jack Cole thanked Sharon Charles and all the staff who visited for their excellent report. It was suggested that library trustees may want to consider using conference & travel funds to participate in future site visits if there is a strong trustee contact.

This month we reported that the number of civilians dying violent deaths in Iraq had hit a fresh low since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion -- about 125 for September.
Sounds like a lot, but for a country that only two years ago was seeing dozens of bodies pile up in the streets each day from tit-for-tat sectarian killing, it was definitely progress.
And as I prepare to end my assignment in Iraq this week, I need no argument from numbers to convince me that things are better here than when I arrived in Feb. 2008.
During my first few months, militants loyal to to anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr were raising hell in Baghdad, firing mortars and rockets at the Green Zone almost every hour. We could hear or feel them thud on impact, especially when they fell short, on our side of the Tigris.
A rocket hit the BBC building opposite us, causing a blast loud enough to shake our windows, although thankfully no one at the BBC was hurt by the strike.

Martin's Creek Mennonite Church Donates to Pomerene Hospital
Millersburg, OH - Vacation bible school at Martin's Creek Mennonite Church located in Millersburg was held June 7th -11th. Two of the bible school directors, Norma Schlabach and Lori Miller, wanted to put together a project for the children that would follow the mission of this year's bible school which was "Fear Not." Because they wanted to center the project around children, they thought of the hospital, a place most kids don't particularly enjoy going.
"The idea of going to a hospital is scary for a kid. We wanted to be able to give something to the hospital that would ease the worry and fear children have of being at the hospital," said Lori Miller.
And that's just what they did. The project for the children at the vacation bible school was to go out and purchase a stuffed animal and bring it back with them. The children were also allowed to bring in money instead of a stuffed animal.
The church brought in approximately $400 in cash and several stuffed animals. Part of the money went toward buying more stuffed animals for the children, and in the end, the church was able to donate over 50 stuffed animals to Pomerene.
"We are very appreciative to Martin's Creek for donating all of these stuffed animals to the hospital," said Rebecca Wojcicki, PR and Marketing Coordinator at Pomerene Hospital. "A hospital can be a scary place for a child. Knowing they can take a stuffed animal home with them makes the experience a bit more pleasant overall."
A variety of stuffed animals were donated to the hospital, including teddy bears, crocodiles, lady bugs and dogs.
Pomerene Hospital plans to give a stuffed animal to every child that is admitted and discharged from the ER.
Pomerene Hospital is a 55-bed facility serving the residents of Holmes and surrounding counties. Pomerene Hospital is located at 981 Wooster Road in Millersburg.

Darius Rucker 's third country album, True Believers , is coming out January 22, 2013 featuring the title cut as the first single. He really took his time making the new project with an eye towards continuing his run of country hits.
Darius performed the new album in its entirety for invited guests at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville on Tuesday. He told the audience, "I'm really proud of this record. There's a lot of great songs on the radio. I'm just trying to get my slot."
During the performance, Darius also revealed the inspiration behind the song "True Believers" is his wife Beth . He told the music industry-heavy crowd that country music wouldn't have accepted the guy he was before he married her saying, "I didn't stop partying because I wanted to stop partying. I stopped partying because I wanted to be married to Beth Rucker."
True Believers
will be Darius's first album release since becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry earlier this month.

Dominique Lauderdale was involved in the fight that led to the shooting of a three-year-old girl. It happened Tuesday on Cardoni Street near State Fair on Detroit's east side.A source told Fox 2 it started when Lauderdale's brother started badmouthing girls three and nine years old. The children's father didn't like it and a fight broke out.The mother tried to take her two girls and get away in a white van, but we're told Lauderdale's brother kicked in the door of a house down the street, grabbed a 12 gauge shotgun from a friend and started firing at the van. A buckshot struck three-year-old Amyria Parham in the arm, chest and leg."All you heard [were] gunshots, and we don't know where it came from. We [were] trying to find my brother, couldn't find him, and still haven't found him or the guys," said Lauderdale.Police are searching for the 20-year-old, who fled the scene. The white van is now considered evidence. It's at Children's Hospital where the little girl is said to be in stable condition."A body that small taking a gunshot. It's reprehensible. It should not happen, but we will find the individual that's done it. We've got a tentative identification of who's done it, and my folks are out searching for that person now," said Police Chief Ralph Godbee.The shooting happened a stone's throw away from the Barksdale Funeral Home. Ira Benson inside working at the time remembers hearing the two gunshots. She was heartbroken to learn one struck a three-year-old girl."It's tragic. It's really tragic. It's a sad commentary of what's going on in society."

The 50th Chicago International Film Festival introduces the inaugural Roger Ebert Award.
A review of NBC's "Bad Judge" & "A to Z," and FOX's "Mulaney."
The title "Middle of Nowhere" describes two of its main characters. Ruby, a nurse on the night shift, has put her life on hold to make four-hour round trips to Derek, her husband, who is serving an eight-year prison sentence. The title also describes Derek, who is not only in prison but lacking a moral compass. "I just got caught up in things," he tells Ruby, trying to apologize. He seems to think of himself as a passive victim.
Ruby is played in a star-making performance by Emayatzy Corinealdi, previously best known for the TV soap "The Young and the Restless." We learn that Ruby was in med school when she married Derek, and we're given some glimpses of their happiness (as in a standard scene of them cooking together). When Derek is sentenced to prison (for reasons that are withheld at first and then never fully explained), she drops out of school to devote herself to his life and morale. This is a decision sharply criticized by her mother, Ruth (Lorraine Toussaint). Her mother is correct.
This becomes clear during Derek's parole hearing, when Ruby learns disturbing things about his time in prison. Her lonely life, her long bus trips and her empty house have built up a sad weight that comes into play when she meets a kind of gentle bus driver named Brian (David Oyelowo). They slowly, tentatively start seeing each other.
"Middle of Nowhere" is the second film directed by Ava DuVernay, whose "I Will Follow" (2011) was the story, much admired by me, of a woman who packs up the belongings of her just-deceased aunt who was a mentor and inspiration. How many people, now dead, have you wanted to ask questions you should have asked when they were alive?
DuVernay also is the founder of the African-American Film Festival Releasing Movement, a collective formed to support and distribute serious black films. Its second film was the great Rwandan drama "Kinyarwanda," shown this year at Ebertfest.
"Middle of Nowhere" isn't a highly charged drama, as you might have gathered. Most of the action takes place within the mind of a lonely woman. That's why Corinealdi is so effective in the lead. Yes, she's beautiful, but this film isn't about her beauty. It's about Ruby's stubborn and undeserved loyalty to a husband who lacks anything like her strength. Even in the film's calm, gentle romantic scenes with Oyelowo, Corinealdi brings a grave dignity.
Also effective are the performances of Lorraine Toussaint as her mother and Edwina Findley as Rosie, her sister. Ruth is sharp-tongued and critical, and although she speaks the truth, it has the effect of alienating her daughters. One thing Ruby doesn't need right now is having the hopelessness of her situation pounded into her.

Im heading into my first carbup in about 2 days and i'm more or less looking for some fine tuning you may have done to the original bodyopus diet! What carb/fat/protein ratio did you use, and what should my calories be at? (190 pounds) I don't want to screw up the carb up phase so i thought i'd ask the advice of you as well as others that have gone threw it already! How many hours of carbing did you find effecient and what time on friday did you start and what time on sunday did you stop?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

San Francisco, CAUSA 94101
September 8, 2006
I am addicted to Settler's and will play it as often as people are willing to show up. So come on over and lets play!
Loved the easy vibe & fast games!
hey Morita, thanks for organizing the game tonight and teaching me the rules. it feels very homey playing with you guys - the best welcome-to-san-francisco i can have ;) can't wait for the next round.
Hi! Good seeing your at the Tourist Club today. I won't be there next month (in New Orleans), but I certainly hope to see you around at some point.
Any Meet-up for March?
Fun game, thanks for introducing me to the knights & seafarers variant, really enjoyed the new elements! Had a bit of a lucky streak last night, honestly that's the first game of Cataan I've won in the last 6 or so that I've played ;)
Question: I have the Seafarers expansion still unopened; after playing Knights+Seafarers, I'm really liking the elements that the former adds (merchant, knights v. barbarians, etc), so I'm considering exchanging sea for knights - if only one, which would u pik?
Thanks for the greeting! I've been going to the Friday night game thing for many weeks now (haven't played Settlers yet... or have I? There've been so many...) and I could handle a bit more gaming this weekend.
Thanks for the greeting and welcome ; ) Looking forward to playing and having some fun. I know Vinh!
yes! thanks for teaching me!
Hey Morita, I haven't been around since I've started a Sunday class in Sacramento (I've been close to making the second round of settler's, but I'm usually too tired to want to drive more)
Hey there Morita!! I live in Petaluma and I was trying to encourage a Sonoma chapter...could I open a dialog to get advice on organization, best venues, and methods of advertisement (3 members only, JUST enough for a game, but just shy of a contingent...) Thanks in advance. Looking forward to playing in SF sometime! Ciao.
Thanks for the "shout." Looking forward to trading grain for sheep with you.
